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

RUSH: Okay, where are we on the situation here with Trump and the debate? So far Trump says he\u2019s not showing up. He claims he\u2019s not showing up because Megyn Kelly is going to continue to be a moderator. And if you believe that, I can give you substantive reasons. And it\u2019s all in The Art of the Deal. Trump is not that hard to understand if you pay attention to him and read his books. In The Art of the Deal, one of the things that he makes a huge deal about is being able to know when to walk away and have the guts and the courage to do it.<\/p>\n

Trump is so far outside the formula that has been established for American politics that people who are inside the formula can\u2019t comprehend it. They don\u2019t understand why somebody would want to venture so far outside it, because it is what it is, and there\u2019s a ladder of success that you have to climb. And somebody challenging it like this in more ways than one, as Trump is doing, has just got everybody experiencing every kind of emotion you can: They\u2019re angry, they are flabbergasted, they\u2019re shocked, they\u2019re stunned — and all of it because he\u2019s leading.<\/p>\n

Everything he\u2019s doing goes against the book. Everything that any analyst or consultant or professional would tell you not to do, Donald Trump is doing it, and he\u2019s leading the pack. This creates its own set of emotions and feelings and thoughts that run from person to person. Now, the political business, if you want to look at it that way, is like any other business. It has its people who are considered the elites in it — and like any business, they hate outsiders. They don\u2019t want outsiders just storming in trying to take over, and much less succeeding at it.<\/p>\n


\nLike any group of elites, they\u2019re exclusionary.<\/p>\n

They want to keep people out.<\/p>\n

They want to be in charge of who gets in the club. They want to be in charge of who\u2019s allowed to rise or climb the ladder in the club. Politics is no different, and all of those determinations are made by who gets money and who doesn\u2019t. But Trump is functioning totally outside this structure that has existed for decades. As such, the people who are only familiar with the structure and believe in it and cherish it and want to protect it, feel threatened in ways that you can\u2019t even comprehend. So that leads them to try to figure out: How is all this working for Trump? Why do his followers grow? Why does his support expand every time he busts a rule wide open?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: It probably isn\u2019t necessary, but let me again say that whatever I say today about this or anything else today is not coming from a position of support for any candidate or opposition to any candidate. So whatever I happen to say about what I think of Trump skipping the debate, reaction to it, it\u2019s not rooted in — and don\u2019t even consider that it\u2019s rooted in the fact that you think I might be doing it in support of Trump or in opposition to Trump or in support of Cruz or anybody else. It\u2019s none of that.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve heard the phrase “the game.” Every business has aspects of it that are considered the game, and that\u2019s the routine. And the game is characterized by everybody knowing the rules of the game. People involved in it play by the rules. Some venture outside now and then, but the rules pretty much of the game are adhered to because it\u2019s a matter of respect for the game in which everybody is in.<\/p>\n

And in this business one of the games is that when the media calls, you answer, and when the media wants you, you go, and when the media is going to host a debate and it\u2019s part of a Republican presidential campaign, you go. You just do it, no matter what the media\u2019s done to you in the past, no matter what you think of it, whether you want to go or not, you go. That\u2019s the game.<\/p>\n

Trump is so far outside this game, he\u2019s so far outside the rules, he\u2019s never been a player in this game. He\u2019s always been an outsider. I heard people on Fox last night talking about this. “Who does he think he is? He can\u2019t control the media.” I got news for you: He is controlling the media, and it\u2019s his objective. He is controlling the media. He controls the media when he\u2019s not on it. He controls the media when he is on it. He controls the media when he\u2019s asleep. Nobody else has been able to do anything like this short of the Kennedys, and they\u2019re pikers compared to the way Trump is doing this.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Now, it\u2019s very simple, if you read The Art of the Deal or if you know Donald Trump at all<\/a>, it\u2019s very simple: He had an unpleasant experience in the first debate, and in his mind, the question that he was asked was rigged. Don\u2019t forget, before that first debate, remember all of the news stories that were floating around saying that that debate, somebody at Fox had been given orders by the Republican establishment to take Trump out. Remember that? There were any number of so-called sources for this. Some said it was the donors demanding it. Some said that it was Fox News executives demanding it. Some said it was the RNC demanding it.<\/p>\n

Well, Trump\u2019s not immune. He hears it. And even if he hadn\u2019t heard it he would have to know that they want to take him out; he\u2019s outside the game; he\u2019s breaking all the rules. He\u2019s exposing so much as fraud that has gone on inside the American political process for so long they can\u2019t allow somebody like this to win and succeed. It\u2019s quite natural they would want to take him out as well. It\u2019s Bengals-Steelers time here, folks. It\u2019s quite natural they\u2019d want to take him out. Well, he heard it.<\/p>\n

Here comes Megyn Kelly\u2019s first question. He didn\u2019t hear anybody else get a question like that. He never sees Hillary Clinton get a question like that. He never hears Bill Clinton or another Democrat get a question like that. So he answers it and says screw this. I\u2019m not putting myself in that position again. Why should I? I don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n

But the rules of the game say when there\u2019s a debate, you show up. Screw the rules, he\u2019s saying. Why should I willingly give them another shot at me in a circumstance they control, why should I do it? What\u2019s the sense in it for me? I\u2019m leading; I\u2019m running the pack here; why in the world should I put myself in that circumstance? I\u2019ve already seen what\u2019s gonna happen.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think it\u2019s any more complicated than that. I mean, there could be some personal things going on here that I don\u2019t know about. But just from the standpoint of knowing Trump, reading his book, and seeing how he operates elsewhere, in his mind, screw the rules, screw what\u2019s expected, screw “This is just the way you do it.” I\u2019m not gonna put myself in a position go where I\u2019m gonna be treated unfairly. I don\u2019t have to. I\u2019m Donald Trump. Anybody can do this. Ted Cruz could choose to do it if he wants to. They just don\u2019t. Cruz and the rest of the pack are playing the rules of the game. Trump is saying I don\u2019t have to do it. I don\u2019t want to do it. I don\u2019t have any respect for these people. What the hell.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, Donald Trump knows that by not showing up, he\u2019s owning the entire event. Some guy not even present will end up owning the entire event, and the proof of that is Fox News last night. I have to tell you, folks, this is where this gets tough for me. I was stunned watching Fox News last night. Fox News was acting like they had been jilted at the altar. If it had been me — and this is easy to say — if it had been me and Donald Trump makes a big to-do about not showing up for the debate, report the story and move on. Talk about Ted Cruz. Go talk about the other candidates. Go talk about Hillary and the FBI. There\u2019s a lot of news out there. But don\u2019t devote the rest of the night to how a candidate\u2019s not showing up because of you. I mean, the network, not just Megyn Kelly.<\/p>\n

Then they bring in the analysts to analyze what it all means. I\u2019m watching this and I\u2019m really — very hard for me to say here — I\u2019m stunned watching this. Because everybody has to know, everybody that\u2019s involved has to know that this is exactly one of the things Trump is hoping to achieve. Then bringing Michael Moore on late in that program to mock Trump.<\/p>\n


\nLook, I understand the warfare that has been established here. If you look at some of the things that Trump\u2019s campaign spokesman, Corey Lewandowski has said, if you read between the lines, it looks like what really has ticked \u2019em off over at Trump central is the mocking of Trump in the official PR statements that Fox has released, making fun, they\u2019re gonna call Putin, they\u2019re gonna call in the ayatollah, and the ayatollah and Putin, whatever. That might have been the nail in the coffin as opposed to any lack of desire to face Megyn Kelly.<\/p>\n

But folks, one other thing about this. If I heard it once last night, I\u2019ve heard it a thousand times since, that Trump is afraid of Megyn Kelly or afraid of Fox News. That is not what this is. There isn\u2019t any fear. What is there is here — in my opinion — is a desire to control this and a purposeful decision to not put himself in a circumstance where other people want to make him look bad.<\/p>\n

In his mind, that\u2019s a dumb thing to do. You don\u2019t put yourself in a circumstance where a whole bunch of other people are gonna be able to make you look bad while you\u2019re there. If they do it when you\u2019re not around, that\u2019s another thing, you can counterprogram it, you can do whatever, but you don\u2019t have to put yourself in a circumstance where you have to personally deal with it as a sign of disrespect or somebody else trying to notch their belt. It really isn\u2019t any more complicated than that.<\/p>\n

Now, Trump\u2019s out there talking about how they\u2019re desperate to have him because high ratings means a lot of advertising revenue. Lower ratings means lower advertising revenue because Fox has to charge less. They were hoping to get $750,000 a minute, I heard, and they may be down to $150,000 a minute if Trump isn\u2019t there. I mean, these are samples of the kind of things going around.<\/p>\n


\nNow, should Trump be there or not, that\u2019s a whole other question. Is Trump right in avoiding someplace that makes him look bad, or has the potential to make him look bad? Is it a smart move? Is it a bad move? Well, is it a smart move in terms of Iowa? I heard last night — this is another thing. I\u2019m sorry, it went in one ear and out the other. “You know, the people of Iowa are not gonna like it. The people of Iowa, they\u2019re not gonna take it very well, a guy purposely avoiding them, that\u2019s what Trump\u2019s doing, he\u2019s avoiding the people of Iowa.” He\u2019s not avoiding the people, come on.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not avoiding the people of Iowa. He\u2019s all over Iowa. The guy does more TV and radio than any other candidate out there. So I don\u2019t think there\u2019s fear, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s disrespect for the people of Iowa. This is what it looks like when some guy stands up to the rules and the game and says, “Screw yours; I\u2019m looking out for me first. That\u2019s all this is. And you can say whatever you want, but I am not dumb. I\u2019m not gonna give you the gun and the bullet and stand still. You want to hit me, come get me, but I\u2019m not gonna put myself in your line of fire.” That\u2019s what he\u2019s doing, if you ask me.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019ve just scratched the surface on this. There\u2019s a lot to add to this because there\u2019s new elements now to add to it. But I routinely am asked in the e-mail by people in the audience, “Why don\u2019t you do more TV? You\u2019re never on TV.” And there\u2019s an answer for that: “I don\u2019t want to.” The reason is, why would I go someplace where I know that exactly whatever they tell me they want to talk to me about, it\u2019s not gonna be that? Why would I go someplace that I know doesn\u2019t support me, doesn\u2019t like me, disagrees with me, would love to embarrass me or damage my show?<\/p>\n

Why should I do that? I have no desire. But the rules say, “Camera, TV! You gotta go on.” No. I don\u2019t want it, I don\u2019t like it, and I certainly don\u2019t want to reward the people who have been spreading misquotes and lies for years. Why should I help them? That\u2019s me personally. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t do a whole lot of TV. Folks, you wouldn\u2019t believe the number of times a week that we turn down invitations here. I don\u2019t mention it because there\u2019s never been a reason to, but it\u2019s appropriate now to tell you since I get questions about it anyway.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about not rewarding people who I know do not have my best interests at heart, who I know have no interest in anything other than notching their belt. Why help \u2019em? Especially when I don\u2019t like doing makeup anyway. So for me, it\u2019s a no-brainer. And it\u2019s also easy. I don\u2019t have to go on TV to be seen or heard, so I\u2019m fortunate in that regard. A lot of people, the only way they can be seen or heard is to go on TV. And they end up loving it and so forth. It\u2019s never captivated me.<\/p>\n

Anyway to the phones. I want to get started on phones early here \u2019cause people I know have their own thoughts and questions. We\u2019re gonna start with Peter in Seattle. Thanks for calling, sir. You\u2019re up first, and hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. It\u2019s wonderful to talk to you on a day like today. I\u2019m always excited to hear your guidance and your view on things.<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: Thank you, sir, very much. My view is basically that Megyn Kelly needs to step out of the way of the story. We\u2019re talking about the presidential race, leadership of this country. If somebody needs to be able to take a shot at Trump, it\u2019s Cruz and the other candidates. Megyn had her chance in the first debate. I don\u2019t believe she laid a glove on him. She may want a rematch, but Trump\u2019s the champ and the card is the other candidates.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So you\u2019re serious. You think that Megyn…? On what basis? For what reason should Megyn say…? I guess you\u2019re saying she should announce that she is removing herself from the moderators table, and —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think this would be a very journalistically ethical thing to do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no, no. That would…? Oh. Now, look, let\u2019s construct a scenario here. Let\u2019s put your idea together in an actual hypothetical, okay? Let\u2019s examine it. Let\u2019s say later today Fox News and Megyn Kelly jointly announce that in the interests of the country, in the interests of the Republican presidential contest, that she is taking the great move of removing herself because she doesn\u2019t want to be the reason the people of Iowa are not permitted an opportunity to see one of the candidates. Can you see something like that happening?<\/p>\n

There is just no way anything like… These are the rules of this game I\u2019m talking about, folks. The media run this game. The media are never to blame for anything that goes wrong. They have total immunity where all this is concerned. The media has their immunities, and the way everybody plays the game, you have to go through the media to get where you want to go if you are in politics. You have to. And you have to bite your lip along the way. And if you don\u2019t, then you have made a perpetual enemy of people (as goes the saying) who buy ink by the barrel.<\/p>\n

In this case, that\u2019s cable news, airwaves, whatever the analogy would be. The media does not look at themselves as an obstacle. The media looks at themselves as part of the obstacle course anybody has to pass in order to get where they want to go in politics. And Trump is saying, “I don\u2019t like those rules. Who says I have to go through you? Who says I have to look good according to what you say? Who says I have to get to the American people through you? Why can\u2019t I just do my own event?<\/p>\n

“Why can\u2019t I buy my own microphone, my own camera, my own time, and talk to the American people without you? It seems to me a lot more efficient — and, more importantly, I control it, and I don\u2019t have to deal with people maybe misrepresenting me or putting me in a bad light.” The other players in the game who\u2019ve always abided by these rules were shocked and dismayed that somebody would mock the game this way and to upset it like this. “This cannot stand,” and so forth. But no journalist is ever gonna take themselves out. I don\u2019t think they should, by the way.<\/p>\n

You might consider it to be super patriotic.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t forget one of my favorite journalism stories of all time.<\/p>\n

Bernard Shaw was in the al-Rashid Hotel during the first Gulf War. It was one of our targets. He got out of there. The US military got Bernard Shaw out. When he got home, the US military wanted to debrief him to find out what he had seen about the enemy, and he said, “I refuse! That would compromise my journalistic ethics.”<\/p>\n

“What do you mean, ‘journalistic ethnics\u2019?”<\/p>\n

“Well, I can\u2019t help one side over the other.”<\/p>\n

“Well, it\u2019s your own country in a war, for crying out loud.”<\/p>\n

“Sorry. I can\u2019t help.”<\/p>\n

Not even realizing that it\u2019s his own country\u2019s Constitution permitting him to do what he\u2019s doing. But he couldn\u2019t compromise his ethics to help his own country.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never forgotten that.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no. I know the guy from Seattle, Peter, the point was that journalists shouldn\u2019t be the story. Hey, folks, that ship sailed long ago back with Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson.
