\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Believe me, the safest thing to do would be shut up about it. Oh, yeah. I mean, everything in my gut says don\u2019t even go there. But I… This is a strange day, folks. I have felt constrained — well, partially distracted — by my battery life problem all day long. Ah, don\u2019t even get me going. I\u2019m just so dispirited about that I can\u2019t convey it to you. Anyway, I\u2019ve been asking Snerdley, I\u2019ve been asking all of you guys, “What do you think the possibilities are that Trump shows up tonight before it, during it, whatever?” Everybody\u2019s pooh-poohing it.<\/p>\n

“Nah. Rush, he\u2019s got this event at CNN. CNN\u2019s carrying the thing with the troops. They\u2019re announcing it\u2019s sold out. They\u2019ve got Huckabee showing up; Santorum says that he\u2019s gonna be there.” I hear all that. I\u2019m just telling you. Probably makes no sense to say this, \u2019cause it\u2019s just kind of thing to come back and bite you, but I\u2019m just telling you… (interruption) No. Oh, he\u2019s not gonna be (laughing) in two places at the same time, unless the CNN things ends up being 10… No, I think… Folks, I don\u2019t think this is a possibility. My gut\u2019s telling me, this isn\u2019t over.<\/p>\n


\nThere are other shoes that are gonna drop here. I have told you, we\u2019re watching the way Trump negotiates. This is happening in public. The walking out, the telling Fox to pound sand, “I\u2019m not showing up,” the O\u2019Reilly begging him to come back, <\/a>to forgive Megyn Kelly? I think this is exactly what happens. It\u2019s the kind of thing that happens when Trump\u2019s negotiating a business deal. We just don\u2019t see it. He\u2019s written how he does it. One of his rules is, “You start out with three times what you want.” He says, “Now, that\u2019s easy to say. It\u2019s easy to say you\u2019re gonna do it.<\/p>\n

“But when you\u2019re in the room and you\u2019re on the other side of the table, it\u2019s very hard to seriously tell somebody you want three times what you really want, with commitment and belief.” He said the only way he has found you really get what you want is to shoot so high at the start, \u2019cause you know you\u2019re gonna have to come down from your original. So you\u2019d better make your original sky-high. I\u2019m talking technique. I\u2019m not relating that specifically to what is happening here.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m simply opining that I think what we\u2019re watching here is Trump negotiate. We just happen to be seeing it in public rather than how it normally takes place behind closed doors. Nobody sees negotiations. You hear about them. Be they between a team and an athlete…. (interruption) What is that? Have we got a weather alert coming? Is that what I hear? (interruption) An Amber Alert? Oh, is that what it was? I\u2019m sorry, folks. We\u2019ve got…<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t believe stuff going down: Tornado warnings, flash-flood warnings, and now an Amber Alert. I thought it was a leaf blower. It the sounded like a leaf blower, and I said, “What? Did somebody get a leaf blower in my studio? How\u2019d that happen?” So I\u2019m just telling you what\u2019s in my gut. I have nothing. I don\u2019t know anything. I just don\u2019t think this is over. It\u2019s all I\u2019m saying. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s gonna happen, but I don\u2019t think this whole debate thing is settled. And I guess I\u2019m saying I can see Trump showing up at it.<\/p>\n


\nDon\u2019t know why. Call it a gut feeling, instinct, what have you. I have never denied my instinct. Well, no, I have denied \u2019em, but they\u2019re never betrayed me. What is this? CNN\u2019s reporting Carly Fiorina has offered Trump $2 million to attend? Are you people joking with me now? Carly Fiorina has offered $2 million? Cruz backers offer $1.5 million for a Cruz-Trump debate? You see how this…? (interruption) No, not in Canada. Trump said he would debate Cruz in Canada. He said this at his South Carolina appearance last night.<\/p>\n

Folks, you should have seen this. There was a mile-long parade of cars, people waiting to get in to wherever Trump was speaking last night in South Carolina. It was on YouTube. I watched a little bit of it. But, no, I don\u2019t… I can\u2019t… I\u2019m not making specific predictions. All I\u2019m telling you is I just don\u2019t think this is over. I don\u2019t know what it means, and I know for a fact that people… I don\u2019t know for a fact. I mean, I\u2019m saying with ontological certitude I\u2019m very confident that the powers that be at Fox are still trying to get in there.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think anybody\u2019s given up on trying to get him there.<\/p>\n

This is the kind of situation he always tries to actually himself in in terms of negotiation. Grab sound bites 28, 29. This is the Huckster, Mike Huckabee, on Wolf Blitzer this afternoon. Blitzer said, “You\u2019re taking part in so-called undercard Republican presidential debate.” What time is that? Seven o\u2019clock. The main event\u2019s a nine p.m., right, Eastern time. So the undercard\u2019s at seven, what I call “the pregame meal,” and Blitzer said to Huckabee, “Now, you\u2019re taking part in the undercard event. You plan on going over to Trump\u2019s event for veterans? Is that what you\u2019re gonna do?”<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: It\u2019s to honor the troops. You know, it\u2019s not an endorsement of Donald Trump candidacy. I\u2019m still running for president. We\u2019ve got the caucuses Monday night, but I\u2019m delighted to join Donald Trump in an effort to salute veterans — and you know what? I don\u2019t have anything going on at eight o\u2019clock tonight. I\u2019ll be done. So I figured, “Why not? Let\u2019s slow the veterans our support.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right, eight o\u2019clock Central time. So Huckabee says, “Hey, I\u2019ll finish the undercard. I\u2019m not endorsing Trump. I\u2019m just gonna go over there and join him in honoring the veterans.” And Blitzer said, “Well, correct me if I\u2019m wrong, you seem to be more comfortable with Donald Trump than you do with Senator Cruz. Is that right?”<\/p>\n

HUCKABEE: There are some positions Senator Cruz has taken that I can\u2019t figure out, because I feel like there are different ones that he takes in Marshalltown, Iowa, than the ones he takes in Manhattan, and that\u2019s disconcerting to me. I want people to be straight up, stand up. I don\u2019t want them to change their view because of geography, and I also worry that Ted Cruz\u2019s financing comes from the same corporate Big Business Goldman Sachs, Citibank, hedge fund, billionaire circle that gives us the politicians that we always have, and that\u2019s why the policies never change.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, but of course he\u2019s not endorsing Trump. No, no, no, no! He\u2019s just gonna go join Trump over here at the veterans event. Here\u2019s McCain. Grab sound bite 20 and 21. This is McCain last night also on CNN with Wolf Blitzer. Blitzer\u2019s question to McCain: “What do you think of Trump\u2019s decision not to attend the Republican debate on Fox? What do you think of that?”<\/p>\n

MCCAIN: Anyone who is running for office and gets to pick who the moderator is, uhh, that\u2019s the destruction of, eh (snickers), free press as we — as we know. Uh, I think that, uhhh, part of it is to blame the media. They\u2019ve basically giving him a free pass. He, uhh, calls in on the Sunday talk shows. He decides which programs he\u2019s on and which he isn\u2019t. The media, I think — in their desperation to have him on all the time to increase ratings — uh, has probably given him the confidence that he can decide to have a, quote, “veterans” event. By the way, I wish were not using a veterans event as a way to further his own, uhh, political agenda.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, that, folks, that\u2019s just… That\u2019s classic, el perfecto illustration of what I have been describing as the way the elites in the establishment look at all of this. Did you hear what he said? “Anyone who is running for office and gets to pick who the moderator is, that\u2019s the destruction of the free press as we know it.” Translation: “He doesn\u2019t get to tell the media who asks him questions or not! When you run for president, you deal with whoever the media throws at you.”<\/p>\n

Because they\u2019re all in the club, folks. The establishment\u2019s made up of Republicans and Democrats and media people who are Republicans and Democrats. Although very few Republicans. But they\u2019re all in the club, and they\u2019re all the elites. And this is just what you do. (McCain impression) “He doesn\u2019t get to pick his moderator! Nobody does! Nobody gets to pick the moderator.” Well, the way you guys play the game nobody gets to pick the moderator, but what if he doesn\u2019t want to play by your rules?<\/p>\n

Where is it written that to be elected president you have to go through the two party establishment to get there? If he doesn\u2019t like who\u2019s gonna ask him questions based on what\u2019s happened before, Senator McCain, why should he put up with it? Your own party told NBC to go pound sand after the CNBC debate, if that\u2019s not picking your moderator. I mean, that\u2019s even worse, that\u2019s picking your network.<\/p>\n

But according to Senator McCain you don\u2019t get pick your network when you\u2019re running for president, you got a debate, because that\u2019s the destruction of the free press. My rear end it is. Destruction of the free press. What free press? We don\u2019t have a free press now. We\u2019ve got an agenda oriented media that is simply an adjunct of the Democrat Party. People like McCain don\u2019t help by playing along with it as though it\u2019s somehow objective and independent, but we all know that the media is an adjunct of the Democrat Party and lives and breathes to advance the Democrat Party agenda as well as destroy the Republican agenda.<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t it make sense that somebody would come along and not want to play that game? Why do you have to play the game where the media gets to destroy you, where the same media will not try to take out your opponents. They will not try to take out Democrats. They will not try to embarrass the Democrats. They will not try to humility them. They will not try to make them look bad, but it\u2019s perfectly okay for \u2019em to do so with Republicans and you\u2019re supposed to sit there and take it? And if you don\u2019t, it\u2019s somehow threatening the freedom of the press?<\/p>\n

And look at this. “I think part of it is to blame,” McCain says, “that they\u2019ve given him a free pass. He calls in on the Sunday shows.” Now, that\u2019s key. The Sunday shows nobody calls in. The Sunday shows, in the religion of politics, the Sunday shows are church, and you don\u2019t phone that in. You put on your coat and tie and you go there. You go to the greenroom, you meet everybody else on the show, you hang around afterward for photos on set with the host, you get along with the other guests, then you leave and you interview with the rest of the media waiting for you outside the studio. That\u2019s your Sunday. That\u2019s when you go to church.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t phone the Sunday shows. It just isn\u2019t done. You will never get in the club phoning the Sunday shows. You have to show up. When\u2019s the last time you were allowed to phone in church? And McCain\u2019s admitting that. He calls in the Sunday shows. He decides which programs he\u2019s on and which he isn\u2019t. What\u2019s wrong with that? Is everybody supposed to just sit there and exercise no choice whatsoever over where you go in the media? The guy\u2019s making my point for me that I spent so much time on yesterday. And McCain says, the media, you know, they\u2019re selling out here for ratings. Trump gets ratings so they\u2019ll take him any way they can get him, any time they can get him, whether he comes in here or calls in on the phone or not.<\/p>\n

And that burns \u2019em, folks, \u2019cause these are the guys that put on their coat and tie and have gone to church every Sunday and they\u2019ve hung around with the pastor and they\u2019ve met the rest of the congregation. And when it\u2019s over they go out the front door and they meet the junior pastors from the rest of the media and they answer their questions. And Trump\u2019s not doing any of that. And now added to all this is an insult that Trump is gonna do a counter-event for veterans, and McCain\u2019s even offended by that. “I wish were not using veterans as a way to further his own political agenda.” Seriously? Like he\u2019s the first?<\/p>\n

Anybody remember the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth? Anybody remember John Kerry reenacting the taking of Boston Harbor again. The night of the Democrat convention, his turn to make his speech there, he was reenacting the Swift Boat guys over in Vietnam. They crossed Boston Harbor, all the way over to wherever the convention hall was. It was a full-fledged effort to capitalize on the military. And the fact that the haughty John Kerry, who had served in Vietnam, seeking to remind everybody that he had.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Ted Cruz on Good Morning America today, speaking with Tom Llamas, L-l-a-m-a-s. And Llamas said, “Do you think Donald Trump is afraid to debate you personally?”<\/p>\n

CRUZ: Actions speak louder than words. I would welcome him in Sioux City Saturday night. We have a venue, a town hall. At the end of the day I don\u2019t think he\u2019s afraid of Megyn Kelly. I don\u2019t even think he\u2019s afraid of me. I think he\u2019s afraid of the people of Iowa, doesn\u2019t want to answer their questions, doesn\u2019t want to defend his record.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Doesn\u2019t want to answer questions, doesn\u2019t want to defend his record. What record would that be? Could it be that he doesn\u2019t want to be faced with: “Mr. Trump, it wasn\u2019t that long ago that you were on record as saying you were in favor of amnesty.” Maybe he doesn\u2019t want to get those questions; I don\u2019t know. But I\u2019m just gonna reiterate, folks, I don\u2019t think whatever\u2019s going on here is over. I think the negotiations are still going on and we\u2019re watching them take place. I have no idea what I mean by this \u2019cause I\u2019m not making any firm predictions, but as show biz and politics combine into one entity, if you think something might happen tonight that you would only see in a movie or only see on television, you better start realizing that that means you can see it for real in politics, too.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Harry, Stevensville, Michigan. Harry, I\u2019m glad you called. You\u2019re next on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019ve already covered it, but I called to say that I really think we\u2019re being played.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Played by who?<\/p>\n

CALLER: By Trump, who is the master negotiator, and he is playing his game of walking away. Just as you walk away from a rug salesman, he\u2019s looking back, and I think he\u2019ll show up tonight, having won some concessions. I would go further and say that what Fox News ought to do is tell him that it\u2019s over, that it takes too long to redo all the questions and the organization of the program and that he\u2019s out, just to ensure that doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh. Okay. So there\u2019s two prongs here. You think Trump is going to show up and has made demands that certain things change, and you hope Fox tells him no?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, if Fox tells him no, then he won\u2019t show up, \u2019cause he\u2019s not gonna show up on a contingency. You think he\u2019d show up with the hopes that Fox will make the modifications he wants?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. I think he is still negotiating, as you say, it\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I think Fox News ought to announce that they\u2019re not gonna allow him to come.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Well, that\u2019s interesting. That\u2019s why I was asking. I asked this question of people here on the staff about a half hour ago, and I just want to tell you, from all three of them, “No way. There\u2019s no way Trump could show up now. Impossible.” He\u2019s already set the thing up at CNN. He\u2019s already told Fox to go pound sand. CNN\u2019s televising the Trump event. “No way.”<\/p>\n

Now, you have a more specific — Harry, you have a more specific image of what you think is going down. I just have something in my gut that says — and I don\u2019t know how it manifests. I don\u2019t think we\u2019re being played, in the sense that there\u2019s a — well, we\u2019re being played, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the objective here. I think there\u2019s a genuine negotiation going on here, and Trump is I\u2019m trying to get the best deal he can. Whatever that is, I have no clue. And it may be a publicity stunt. I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know anything. I could be dead wrong, too. It isn\u2019t over, is all I think.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Adam in Casey, Illinois. It\u2019s great to have you, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s really cool to talk to you. Appreciate all that you do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Calling from the People\u2019s Republic of Illinois, and I just had a quick question for you. You\u2019ve been very clear that you\u2019re not endorsing any candidate; you\u2019re just explaining what Trump is doing, what\u2019s happening, and particularly between him and Fox and Megyn Kelly. But I\u2019m curious, I know you\u2019ve explained it and I get everything you\u2019re saying, but I\u2019m curious, what is your opinion of it?<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: What is my opinion of Trump\u2019s tactics? What is my opinion of Trump\u2019s behavior, strategy? Which specific?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, of his behavior with Megyn Kelly and Fox, missing the debate, making a big deal about his treatment and being treated unfairly and do you think he\u2019s making the right decision?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I have long advocated, and we could go back and find the tape, we can go back to our archives and find the transcripts. I have long advocated that Republicans in general no longer have to take it from the media. Why do we have to sit there and let the media pick our nominee every four years, for example? Why can\u2019t people stand up and say to various people in media, when you already know how they\u2019re gonna treat you, why go there?<\/p>\n

How many times have I suggested that Republicans avoid certain Sunday shows hosted by certain people. What\u2019s gonna happen? You know you\u2019re not gonna win anything there. You\u2019re not gonna triumph there. No matter how well you do, after you\u2019re gone they\u2019re gonna portray you as something unfavorable. Why give them the chance? And I\u2019ve asked Republicans this, and the answer I get, “You have to do it. We can\u2019t avoid it. We can\u2019t run from the media.” And I\u2019ve always said, “You\u2019re not running from them; you\u2019re just not giving them the chance to personally destroy you, insult you, or what have you.”<\/p>\n

And I can… I\u2019ll bet you I could find in our archives over the past 25 years, after certain presidential debates or similar-type programs… I\u2019ll bet you I can find myself saying, “Why do it? Why let those people moderate? Why agree to letting this debate commission to choose these people to moderate? Why don\u2019t you stand up for yourselves and demand your own moderator?” So in that sense, I don\u2019t have a problem with this. I think that this is something I\u2019ve actually urged Republicans to do, as a party, over the course of the whole time that I have been doing this program.<\/p>\n

Because, you know, everybody knows now and agrees that the Democrats are not our only opponent; the media is as well. Republicans are running against two opponents in every election. And Republicans have always just fallen back on the notion that that\u2019s just the way it is for them. That\u2019s the hand that they\u2019re dealt. That\u2019s the hand they have to play. And so there\u2019s a part of me that enjoys it, and I\u2019ll tell you why. It\u2019s the same thing I said about Trump early on. I think the real value of Donald Trump — and I might have said this the first week of his campaign, certainly within the first month.<\/p>\n


\nDonald Trump is showing that you don\u2019t have to be afraid of the media — and Republicans are. Republicans are afraid of being called racist so they don\u2019t criticize Obama. They\u2019re afraid of being accused of the government shutdown, so they don\u2019t make a single effort to stop any of this disastrous spending. And I\u2019ve always said that the value Trump brings to this is demonstrating that you don\u2019t have to fear criticizing the first black president. You don\u2019t have to fear criticizing Democrats.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to fear standing up to liberal Democrat policies and saying “no,” and you certainly don\u2019t have to fear being accused of violating political correctness. And I still stand by that. I think there are valuable lessons being taught and demonstrated here — and, frankly, one of the things that has sort of mildly surprised me is how few other Republicans have sought to take advantage of this. I was hoping that Trump would inspire similar behavior in a whole lot of these candidates, if you want to know the truth.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m not talking about reacting to criticism in what some people think\u2019s a petty way.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m talking about being bold! I\u2019m talking about being fearless! I\u2019m talking about shelving — getting rid of — these generational fears of the media. Fears of charges of racism, sexism, bigotry, and homophobia. Just go out and tell people who you are. Go out and be who you are. Go out and stand for what you stand for and explain to people why, instead of thinking the only way you can get somewhere is to convince somebody else that you\u2019re not what the Democrats or the media say about you.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a losing proposition, \u2019cause nobody\u2019s been ever able to prove a negative.<\/p>\n

You just can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

So, sadly, folks, not enough time here to take another caller, not enough time for another inane sound bite. The GOP big debate in Iowa is tonight, and I just want to finish here by — well, it is. It\u2019s a great career risk. The odds are I\u2019m dead wrong about it, but I just don\u2019t think this is over. As you know, I have a very prominent gut. My prominent gut is telling me it\u2019s not over. Something\u2019s gonna happen still yet involving Trump.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
