\n

RUSH: To Lemay, Missouri, not far from St. Louis. Okay, Ed, you can take down the music there. Here\u2019s Mona. Mona, nice to have you with us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m a longtime listener, and I have some things to say to you that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You have the nicest, breathiest voice.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019m glad. I\u2019m glad you think so. No, thank you very much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That was a lovely compliment. Anyway, I want to say some challenging things to you, and I don\u2019t want you to do what you usually do when you\u2019re challenged, which is say a few words and then say, ‘You know, I\u2019d love to say more about this but we have a hard break coming up and I can\u2019t. Thanks for calling.\u2019 I really want you to answer these. First of all —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Gee whiz, when did we get married?<\/p>\n

CALLER: You wish. The first thing is —<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is a fireplug here, folks. You\u2019re good, Mona, you\u2019re good.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, I\u2019ve had some practice, but anyway, you\u2019re the cream of the crop. I love arguing with you. Anyway, you are scared to death of the whole third-party issue. And one thing I\u2019d like to say to you when you always say, ‘Oh, they never work, so we shouldn\u2019t do that,\u2019 is that, as far as I can remember, it\u2019s never been tried when the constituency of the actual candidate in place is hate the candidate in place.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re talking about Senator McCain?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you think a third party would work because most of the Republican Party hates McCain, or most Republican voters hate McCain, so this would be an ideal time to do a third party?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. He\u2019s not a Republican. He\u2019s just seized the power of the so-called Republican Party, and he\u2019s off doing his own thing. This is a McCain trip that he\u2019s on.<\/p>\n

RUSH: She\u2019s actually right, you\u2019re right about that, Mona. I mean, I can\u2019t argue, and, in fact, I have further comments of my own coming up on this in the next hour.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you know, I just believe that if a third party was organized around a real conservative, John McCain would be left in the dust, you know, wondering what happened, left just where he was \u2019til he suddenly rose to power so quickly. The other thing I want to say is it seems to me, I don\u2019t believe that you have another plan for Operation Chaos. I know you say you do —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Uh-oh. <\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t think you do, Rush. I think you\u2019re scrambling around, you know, barbecuing steaks trying to think of something and that the person who\u2019s got the real power in this election is George Soros. And I wonder why you\u2019re letting George Soros be the real power that\u2019s going on in this election process, and you\u2019re standing around talking about Operation Chaos, when there\u2019s nothing coming and you\u2019re just anxious to sell the rest of your caps and T-shirts.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, okay, now we got to the nub of it, now we\u2019ve cut to the quick.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You should be the power in this election.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All I care about is selling my Operation Chaos —<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, that\u2019s just — <\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re reading my mind. You\u2019re out there, you\u2019re telling everybody what you think I\u2019m thinking. I don\u2019t really have an Operation Chaos plan going forward. All I want to do is sell my fashion line from Operation Chaos. You don\u2019t care, you just want to sell T-shirts. You\u2019re letting George Soros ace you out in the power game. You think that\u2019s what\u2019s in my mind, you\u2019re reading my mind?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think I\u2019m reading your mind better than you\u2019re reading your mind, because you don\u2019t want to admit to that. But if you have big plans and if you have as much power as all of us know you have, then where is it, why isn\u2019t it doing something, and why are you letting George Soros get away with all the stuff he\u2019s getting away with? I consider you the ultimate power in this country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What is George Soros getting away with?<\/p>\n

CALLER: He\u2019s getting away with backing Obama and getting all the media and everybody —<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. All right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — he\u2019s the one that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mona, Mona, Mona.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — everybody to do all this stuff.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mona!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Huh?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have to go to a hard break.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You better not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Can you hang on?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Only if you promise to come back.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m going to come back. It\u2019s going to be a while because I got a hard break, but don\u2019t go away.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ll be here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We now go back to Lemay, Missouri, and Mona. Now, Mona, we have some serious time ahead of us here so I don\u2019t want you operating under this false notion that I run away from challenging callers by saying, ‘Oh, looky, a hard break, we have to go, sorry, Mona.\u2019 That\u2019s not going to happen to you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019ve heard you do it before.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, forget that. It\u2019s because it happens to be true. There are things called hard breaks. <\/p>\n

CALLER: I know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But look what happened here, I have held you through two of them.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, well, I\u2019m very grateful.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You have wounded me to the heart here, Mona.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m very grateful.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You have wounded me to the heart because you have accused me of bluffing on Operation Chaos and having nothing further planned. I have a 20-year broadcast history on this program, and I have countless examples of where I have had substance, we have had successful campaigns, programs, what have you, and all of that seems to count for nothing. Now you say I\u2019m just bluffing because I want to get rid of my Operation Chaos fashion line.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, listen, you\u2019re misunderstanding me. You don\u2019t have to convince me of your talent and all the wonderful things you\u2019ve done. In my estimation, you are my hero. They don\u2019t come any higher than you and I\u2019m not a lockbox woman, I\u2019m just a very passionate woman, and I feel like I\u2019m being threatened by Obama and McCain, and I\u2019m waiting for you to come save me, really.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, one of the things —<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019re the one that can do it, and I don\u2019t see you doing it, and you\u2019re my hero.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mr. Snerdley told me during the break that there are there some more people with the same questions, on hold. He gets a lot of phone calls from people who appear worried because we got Obama, and it\u2019s a known quantity, we have McCain, and there\u2019s really not that much difference when you get down to brass tacks as far as conservatism is concerned. What do we do? Can\u2019t stomach voting Obama, just can\u2019t do it, just can\u2019t see it. But voting for McCain is not exciting at all, either, so what do we do? I have attempted to address this in recent programs. One of the things that I think anybody in a circumstance like this, be it in a national political campaign or even something like this in your personal life, what you have to do is assess honestly where you are. And here\u2019s where we are. And it\u2019s not pleasant to say and it\u2019s not pleasant to hear. Where we are is we have squandered every victory we had since 1993, 1994, the House Republican freshman class taking over —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — Bush winning in 2000 and 2004 with a majority Republican Congress for much of his two terms, we squandered it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I realize that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, so it is what it is. That means it has to be rebuilt.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, but the way that you suggest doing it is not, you know, you don\u2019t sound like —<\/p>\n

RUSH: What is fundamental to rebuilding it, though?<\/p>\n

CALLER: This is what you sound like. Did you see the movie High Noon with Gary Cooper?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, a long, long time ago when I was a little kid.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, well, he comes out in the street and he takes care of it. He doesn\u2019t say to all the townspeople, ‘Look, you know, there\u2019s some bad guys around here, and what we need to do is rebuild this town, and 20 years from now it will be great again.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: What do you want me to do, run for office?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, of course, but you would never do it. I know you would never do it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right, because of the pay cut.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You could be like George Soros and find somebody who could run and who everybody would love and everybody would vote for, you could do that. If he can do it, you can do it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, you know, this comparison that you\u2019re making to me and George Soros is a bit flawed because George Soros is an independently wealthy multiple billionaire.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I didn\u2019t say you had to pay for this whole thing yourself. I\u2019m just saying you could organize it. There has to be jillions of really wealthy Republicans and conservatives, excuse me, in this country who would rally around a real conservative and everybody could, you know, chip in.<\/p>\n

RUSH: At the right time. This is not the right time. Nobody\u2019s going to put that kind of money behind what, at this late date; would be a losing effort. This is what I mean about assessing where you are. George Soros, for the most part, has lost far more than he\u2019s won. George Soros did not get Kerry elected. George Soros did not get rid of George W. Bush. George Soros has given $40 million to a group here to bash McCain that said that Soros might be the guy behind Obama, but Soros would support whoever the Democrat nominee is. He\u2019s just anti-Republican, period. Doesn\u2019t matter who the Republican is. Even if McCain is as close to Soros as any Republican ever will be, he hates Republicans. He\u2019s just going to get rid of them no matter how.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I can\u2019t imagine a time in history when real conservatives in this country would be more apt to rally around and act on a real conservative who was put into the race even at this late date. It\u2019s not all that late, considering the negativity that people have for John McCain.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mona, I don\u2019t disagree with anything you\u2019re saying. In terms of the way you\u2019re describing the mind-set of a lot of conservatives. But the time for something like this has to be right, and don\u2019t forget, the people of this country generally get what they want, and the reason I say that, and the reason I\u2019m making a point here about assessing where we are is — by the way, don\u2019t for a minute think I am not just as distressed as you are. Here we have the Democrat Party in an abject free fall, nominating somebody that ought to be losing in a 49- to 50-state landslide, and who have we nominated? I\u2019m as frustrated as you are by this. But the problem is that we conservatives who are not in government, those of us in media, those of us in the think tanks, those of us just in the grassroots, it\u2019s great that we\u2019re here, and it\u2019s great that we\u2019re making all these advances, but the problem is, there hasn\u2019t been any elected conservative leadership in the Republican Party advancing it. And so it\u2019s had nowhere to go, other than as a voice. But it has not been a movement. President Bush has not led a movement. There have not been any Republicans in Congress to lead the movement because the president is the titular head of the party, and to do so would be going against the president, that\u2019s political suicide.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think the response has to meet the problem. And the problem we have is so serious that if we wait another four years, or \u2019til the next election — to think of what could happen in —<\/p>\n

RUSH: The first midterm election is the target here. Not 2012, but 2010. But your third-party thing, let\u2019s say that we could do it, let\u2019s say that a number of us could get together and find the ideal conservative and get out there and have this guy right now start running say as a third party under the so-called Conservative Party ticket, I\u2019m going to tell you with as much honesty as I can the only thing that would happen as a result is guarantee the election of Obama. We would be splitting the Republican vote because right now, much of the Republican Party elitist machine money is behind McCain, they are deeply invested in him, and they are not conservatives first, they are Republicans first. What\u2019s going to have to happen — and you don\u2019t want to hear this — what\u2019s going to have to happen is these people are going to have to lose, and they\u2019re going to have to lose big time and they\u2019re going to have to have the Republican Party become a minority party once again like it was for all of those years before it is ripe to be reformed and taken over again. This will happen because the people running this party and the people responsible for nominating McCain have guaranteed that they are just the Democrat Party Light, and when you have a chance to vote for the real Democrat or the Democrat light, you\u2019re going to vote for the real one. When this party is more closely associated with Big Government liberalism as the Democrat Party is, it cannot win.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So what can Operation Chaos possibly do that\u2019s going to make any difference?<\/p>\n

RUSH: What Operation Chaos and what this program and what all of us need to focus on is discrediting the whole notion of Big Government liberalism and tax increases in the minds of the American people. This is where it must continue to start and must continue to operate, because creating an informed, participating electorate is the first key to winning elections. Then you need the candidate running on an agenda that these people support. Look, right this week, the US Senate is debating the most massive transfer of wealth in the history of the country, the so-called climate tax bill, or the Warner-Lieberman bill. Now, it doesn\u2019t have a chance of passage this time around. There are even a lot of Democrats opposed to it. Bush is going to veto it. The House of Representatives is not going to take it up. But the fact is it\u2019s going to be back next year. Now, the only way to defeat this bill ultimately is going to be the same way the immigration bill was defeated, and that is with an informed public refusing to accept it. But they\u2019re going to have to be told what\u2019s in this bill.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, but you\u2019ve been educating people for 20 years, Rush, and you still have to admit now that the greatest threat to our country is ignorance, after all this time, there\u2019s still —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — there\u2019s always going to be ignorance.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s the most expensive commodity we have. But I\u2019m telling you, where would we be without this, where would we be without 20 years of this program and the associated conservative media that\u2019s sprung up? We would never have won the house in 1994. We would not have won the White House in 2000. You gotta be honest and assess the progress that\u2019s been made.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you know, when Ronald Reagan came around, I don\u2019t think it was because there was — you know, the whole country had a mind-set that was ready and willing for Ronald Reagan. He just appeared; he did it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wrong.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think that\u2019s what we\u2019ve gotta do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. We wouldn\u2019t have had Reagan were it not for the bumbling ineptitude of Jimmy Carter. And look, by the way, look at how long it — wait a minute —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — Bush, isn\u2019t that good enough?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look at how long it took Reagan, Mona. He lost his first presidential bid against the establishment Republicans who have taken the party over again now. He lost against Gerald Ford. He was the star of the convention, he was the hero of the convention, but the delegates still went for Gerald Ford, he was the incumbent president. It took Reagan — his first Goldwater speech was 1964, then he runs for governor. It took Reagan 16 years to get to the White House from the moment he first had eyes on it, 16 years. And if it weren\u2019t for Jimmy Carter and all the malaise, the message that Reagan had would not have resonated. The reason it resonated was twofold: Reagan\u2019s a great communicator, and he was right. But people were miserable, and they were fed up with their own president telling them they were the reason the country was in the tank, when the fact was the reason the country was in the tank was because of Democrats like Jimmy Carter. And Reagan came along, and he said, Big Government is the problem; Big Government\u2019s not the solution. Our problem today is that too many Republicans and pseudoconservatives in the elite media think that Big Government is the answer. We\u2019re always going to fight this battle. We\u2019re always going to be fighting it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: We\u2019ve had enough of George Bush to know that Big Government isn\u2019t the answer. Everybody\u2019s already set up, everybody\u2019s already ready for the Ronald Reagan of our time who happens to be you, and it\u2019s just too bad for the rest of us that you won\u2019t be president, because that may be what it takes, but since you\u2019re not going to do it, you know, we might as well all just give up.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019re so sweet, and you\u2019re so nice, I don\u2019t know. You\u2019re making me feel a little embarrassed here, you\u2019re making me feel even a little inadequate, Mona, you know, that I\u2019m not doing enough. I understand the role of leadership, I really do. But part of leadership is getting people —<\/p>\n

CALLER: You have people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — to do things they don\u2019t want to do, getting people motivated and inspired to follow. I\u2019ve gotta answer some questions for a reporter in a couple days, and his first question is, ‘Imagine you\u2019re president, you have unlimited power, what are the five or six things that you would do, five or six agenda items that you would use in the exercise of your power?\u2019 And the first thing that I wrote down in answering this question was, the first thing I would do is I would tell the American people that they\u2019re the ones that make the country work, not me, and that they\u2019re going to have to continue to make the country work, and my job is gonna be to get as many obstacles out of their way as possible, and I\u2019m going to talk to them about American exceptionalism, and I\u2019m going to remind them how great their country is, and I\u2019m going to tell them I\u2019m sick and tired every day of hearing in the news media how we\u2019re going to hell in a handbasket. I\u2019m tired of hearing about the gas price. I\u2019m tired of hearing about oil. I\u2019m tired of hearing about global warming. I\u2019m tired of hearing about a recession. I\u2019m tired of hearing nothing but negative, negative, negative. We live in the greatest country on earth. You all know it. It\u2019s time for you to get busy and to keep making the country work as you always have and I\u2019m going to get the people that stand in your way out of your way.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019m just going to end by telling you that, you know, I think that if you got up and said those things, everyone would listen to you, because I think you are the Ronald Reagan, at least in my eyes, of this country, and I can\u2019t imagine anybody people would listen to more, other than you, or who could get things done other than you. You\u2019re my hero, and I guess I just wish things could be different.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They will be. They will be. Not going anywhere. Now, Mona, not going to go anywhere. And I thank you so much for what you said. I\u2019m still learning to take compliments even after 20 years. It\u2019s sort of embarrassing to be compared to Ronald Reagan, but nevertheless, I want to send you away on as much of a positive note as I can. The biggest threats to our prosperity this nation\u2019s faced in the last 20 years has been stopped right here on this program: national health care, Hillary Clinton, unfettered illegal immigration, stopped right here, global warming, stopped right here. It is not going to happen this year. It\u2019s not going to happen as long as we\u2019re around, these big-time tax increases expanding the federal government. Obama, the messiah, the untouchable, we\u2019ve exposed the phoniness of Obama. This is not the time to give up on anything, Mona. It really isn\u2019t. More progress has been made than you realize. You\u2019re just down and out because of McCain. I understand this. We\u2019re going to deal with it. Now, I gotta really go, Mona, because I am seven minutes beyond my hard break and I did it for you, and it was well worth it. Thanks much. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
