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

RUSH: Mark in Spirit Lake, Iowa, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Great to be on, Rush.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: It\u2019s great to be able to talk to you. Just a couple observations. I\u2019ve been to Trump rallies and I\u2019ve been to Cruz rallies and talking to people. I mean, you get a lot of people at Trump rallies because they\u2019re entertaining, something to go to. But I think there\u2019s a righteous anger in this country on two subjects. One\u2019s the whole politically correctness crowd, and the other is the establishment, especially the Republicans and not standing up to the conservative beliefs and the Constitution.<\/p>\n


\nI think Trump\u2019s strength is he\u2019s anti-PC, so that\u2019s what we like about him. Cruz, on the other hand… Unlike what Trump calls him, Cruz is not a nasty person. He\u2019s a man of great integrity. He has a moral compass, and he has convictions, and he stands by them. So while Trump may get a lot of headlines and get a lot of crowds following him, I think from an Iowan… I grew up in an Iowa farm family, and for me, I want the government to get out of our lives and get back to constitutional-type law.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What about ethanol?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think there\u2019s a misunderstanding on Cruz\u2019s position on that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I meant you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: When Branstad came out and said, “Don\u2019t vote for Cruz because against the American — Iowa farmer,” that\u2019s not correct. Cruz is against government playing a role in picking winners and losers in business transactions, and farms are going to take advantage of government subsidies and government programs if they\u2019re there. But in a large part, Iowans, we don\u2019t even want government involved in that part of our lives.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, that\u2019s not what I asked.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But it is and we have to —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now wait just a minute now. That\u2019s not true. King Corn wants government involved every second of every day protecting it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Who wants that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: King Corn, the corn lobby. In Iowa, they want the government. I\u2019m not talking about Cruz. I\u2019m talking. I asked you what you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That corn lobby is part of the establishment.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s not part of American family farmers. If we didn\u2019t have… If government gets out of our lives we\u2019d be perfectly happy. Yes, we can benefit from that. Yes, we can take advantage of it. Guess what? Then we have to allow other states to get their pet projects passed. We don\u2019t want that anymore.<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: My point was asking… You had just finished a great explanation of why Cruz has his supporters and why Trump has his, and you went on about how the establishment\u2019s this and Ted Cruz is anti-establishment. So I asked you, you sound like Cruz supporter. I said, “What about ethanol?” ‘Cause I have found that ethanol, as an issue, can turn the most conservative Republican voter into pro-establishment \u2019cause they want the subsidy.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I\u2019m saying that that\u2019s not the right… At least not from my perspective, it\u2019s not the pulse of the average family farmer in Iowa. The thing is, Rush, is that it\u2019s kind of like drugs. Once you get hooked on that kind of stuff, it\u2019s kind of hard to give them up. But for your own health and well-being, you have to give it up.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. It\u2019s like these guys that have concessions take you out on a boat to feed whatever, the dolphins. After awhile the dolphins would die if the guy feeding \u2019em doesn\u2019t show up with his customers every day. I understand about creating dependency and so forth. I just can\u2019t tell you the number of times I have had calls during the Hawkeye Cauci — you know, in the weeks leading up to it. Ethanol always comes up, and I always advocate, “Get out of it. It\u2019s artificially… Iit\u2019s not even good for car engines, all this stuff.”<\/p>\n

I get calls from angry Republicans who claim they\u2019ve been listening to me forever, “Are you really…? Do you really want to lose Iowa? Is that what you want to do? ‘Cause I guarantee you, you get rid of ethanol and the Republicans are finished here!” I hear it every four years. That\u2019s the only reason I asked you. I was taking your temperature vis-a-vis your support for Cruz. Anyway, so we have some anecdotal storytelling here from a guy on the ground in Iowa who says that the Trump rallies are exciting.<\/p>\n

I mean, a lot of people are showing up basically to be entertained and have some yuks but that the Cruz rallies are full of substance and issues, and it\u2019s clear his preference is for the latter. So we\u2019ll see. I appreciate the call Mark. Don\u2019t misunderstand the tone of my voice here. When I get insistent, I sometimes sound accusatory. I\u2019m not accusing you of anything. Merely analyzing here, positing, postulating, theorizing, exploring, all of that.<\/p>\n

Here is Dave in East Lansing, Michigan. You\u2019re next. It\u2019s great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n


\nCALLER: Hey, Rush. Thank you. I\u2019m pretty sure Donald Trump isn\u2019t a conservative, and I know this because the last eight years my family and I have volunteered for Republicans who said they were conservative and have done absolutely nothing. And although that I cringe at some of the things that Donald Trump says, he\u2019s saying the things that are important to me. “Build a strong workforce back in America, stop with the lopsided tariffs, and immigration.” And the best part about it is, he\u2019s doing it in such a way it\u2019s not politically correct.<\/p>\n

When I first heard him, I\u2019m going, “Hell, yeah, that what needs to be said.” And as far as him working deals out with the Democrats? He\u2019s a businessman. What did he do before he campaigned? He worked with politicians. He gave $50,000 to this Democrat. He gave $25,000 to that Democrat. He went to the Clintons\u2019 wedding. He\u2019s got markers in his back pocket. How do we know that he just hasn\u2019t been holding on to those chips \u2019til this comes in? And the last point is, I think it is absolutely funny that we finally got a third-party candidate and he\u2019s running within the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s how you look at this, huh? So what was your point in leading off by telling me that…? Did you say you are or you are not a conservative?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I have been a conservative, by my father. Small business owners.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Okay. So you are a conservative, but what\u2019s remarkable about that is that you have now moved your support to Trump. So you\u2019re identifying here as a rock solid conservative but that doesn\u2019t matter you moved to Trump and you gave us the reasons why. That was your point?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. I just wanted to make sure because I don\u2019t hear everything you say. I\u2019ve gotta read some of it on the transcription. I just want to make sure I understood you. I\u2019m not challenging you, please. Everybody understand when I ask you to repeat it\u2019s because I didn\u2019t hear you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh-huh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So I\u2019m just trying to get the lay of the land here. So you are making the point that you are as conservative and you always have been, your dad, but Trump\u2019s come along, and you don\u2019t care that he is not conservative. That doesn\u2019t matter to you. He\u2019s saying the things and you believe what he says and he\u2019s gonna put this country first for a change and that\u2019s what you want?<\/p>\n

CALLER: He has the business savvy to do it and he\u2019s not gonna take “no.” That\u2019s all I\u2019ve been asking my conservative Republicans to do, stop the stuff with the Democrats, stop giving in to \u2019em, stand up and do what the people want.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So, given that, Dave, does it give you pause when you hear Trump say today on MSNBC <\/a>that he will work with the Democrats, he can work with \u2019em. He knows Reid, he knows Pelosi, gets along with \u2019em, he can do deals with \u2019em, he did deals with Schumer, who\u2019s gonna be the new Reid. Does that bother you at all when you hear that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, no. He\u2019s been doing deals with the Democrats for years. He\u2019s given how much money to Democrat causes and funding them for elections. He\u2019s given them thousands and thousands of dollars just like lobbyists do, and what do lobbyists do?<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no. He\u2019s got billions and billions. Get it right. He\u2019ll call here and tell me to tell you billions and billions.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But that\u2019s the point. He gives them money. Now he gets to collect the markers. So heck, yeah, he\u2019s worked with them for years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you go, folks. What did I just say? Elongated little monologue about how Trump is revolutionizing what the job of the president is, is to make deals where Americans win. Domestic deals, foreign deals, foreign policy deals, trade deals, whatever, that\u2019s what he\u2019s gonna do. His book\u2019s not The Art of the Compromise, that\u2019s not what it\u2019s called. It\u2019s called The Art of the Deal. And that\u2019s what the founders wanted. The founders wanted deal makers. But you know what the most intriguing thing that old Dave here said? That we\u2019ve got a third-party candidate running for the presidency in the Republican Party. That\u2019s insightful.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Over the course of the many years of the EIB Network, there have been countless people call here and advocate for a third-party candidate because the Republican Party has been so inept in representing its voters that the only solution is third party. And on each occasion I have said it\u2019s guaranteed to elect Democrats, \u2019cause all you\u2019re gonna do is split the Republican vote because not everybody\u2019s gonna join the third-party candidate.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019ve said is the best thing to do is to take over the Republican Party from within it. And look what could be transpiring. You might say that Trump is doing that. I mean, the caller refers to his candidacy much like a third-party candidacy would be, and I think that\u2019s pretty insightful. And for his part, Ted Cruz is trying to take over the Republican Party for conservatives and wrest control of it back. That\u2019s why what\u2019s happening here is really potentially momentous, folks.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tom in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Hello, sir. Great to have you on the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, thank you, Rush. Nice to talk to you. I think I first heard you… Were you on in \u201988 in Virginia Beach, by any chance?<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: Well, 1988. That means you are a lifer. Virginia Beach.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Just on vacation — and when you came on in Philadelphia, I heard you after that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See, everybody remembers where they were when they first heard this program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) That\u2019s right. My point: A mechanic can get your car fixed. If he says, “I can fix it but it\u2019s gonna take a while,” you wouldn\u2019t say, “Okay, I\u2019ll be back in a while.” You would ask him what he meant by that. And the word “conservatism” I think that question has to be asked of that also. When I hear, you know, people saying Trump\u2019s not conservative, I say, “In my mind, he is.” I mean, traditional conservative used to mean balanced budget, staying out of foreign wars, limiting immigration, and promoting American manufacturing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See..<\/p>\n

CALLER: But those four guys on Mount Rushmore weren\u2019t perfectionists.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second here, Tom. You are making… See, he\u2019s proving my point. Listen to his definition of conservatism. I don\u2019t care what you think of it, but it\u2019s probably not yours, not universally. This is my point. I think that\u2019s what the Republican establishment is overestimating the conservatives in. They\u2019re overestimating the single-minded, monolithic definition of what they think a conservative is.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: A guy like Tom here does not fit the definition of the Drive-Bys nor of Republican establishment. They think, “Pro-life, pro-life, pro-life — and small government.” That\u2019s what they think conservatives are, and Tom here has just made it plain that he\u2019s a much more broad-minded, broad-based conservative than what many in the Republican Party would consider a conservative to be. And that you\u2019re supporting Trump; is that right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I am. I mean, y\u2019know, in terms of him making a deal like the subject of today? Suppose… Suppose he backs down on the wall, but he\u2019s rock solid to eliminate sanctuary cities and, you know, just in general puts more border guards and things like that. That\u2019d be better than we have now. You follow me? He says things to get the deal.<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: Wait a minute! Wait! Hold it. I need to make sure I heard you on that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckling) Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re saying that Trump could back down on the wall and back down on sanctuary cities and his supporters would understand it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I\u2019m not saying back down. I\u2019m saying if he, as a tactic, gave in on the wall — or simply couldn\u2019t get the wall built, but got rock solid E-Verify and eliminated sanctuary cities — I think that would be a win.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (silence)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m not analyzing it that way. I\u2019m analyzing your thinking.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: I\u2019m listening to you and I\u2019m analyzing your thinking on this. So you are already, the way I hear you — and I could be wrong. Don\u2019t be afraid to tell me I\u2019m wrong. I know it\u2019s rare, but I could be.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckling)<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re already making excuses for Trump not following through on what you think he said he\u2019s gonna do.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I think he will do it, but if he doesn\u2019t… Um, I\u2019m saying as a… When people negotiate, you get things. It\u2019s just like you have a pro athlete, he asks for $20 million —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. Are you saying Trump is negotiating with the voters?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I\u2019m saying he\u2019s a realist and he\u2019s not a dictator when he gets elected president, and he\u2019s setting high expectations. But if he doesn\u2019t get them… It\u2019s just like Vince Lombardi said.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Vince Lombardi said:<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tom, wait a minute.<\/p>\n

CALLER: “Chase perfection. Catch excellence.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tom, the wall is the top five reasons. Stopping it. Sending \u2019em back. “They gotta go! They gotta go! They gotta go! They gotta go!”<\/p>\n

CALLER: He\u2019s not a perfectionist.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “Build a wall. Of course we\u2019re gonna build a wall! Mexico\u2019s gonna pay for it.”<\/p>\n


\nCALLER: It\u2019s a tactic.<\/p>\n

RUSH: If that doesn\u2019t happen, you\u2019re telling me that Trump supporters are gonna be cool with it as long as he sets up some other system to deal with it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: The wall is a tactic to stop immigration or put a hold on it or limit it. If he limits it, he accomplishes that some other way. No other politician has been able to do it since Eisenhower.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It\u2019s not just the wall. “Mexico is gonna pay for it.” That\u2019s not something he just said opening day and forgot it. It has been front and center. He said it as recently as last week. “Mexico\u2019s gonna pay for the wall. Of course Mexico\u2019s going to pay for it!” The crowd stands up, standing ovation, cheers wildly. You are setting up potential justifications for Trump either being unable to deliver or just not trying, one way or the other. You\u2019ve got it set up so that you\u2019re not gonna feel lied to.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not going to feel used or any of that. I mean, you\u2019ve raised a couple points here that I think are crucial about this after, if Trump wins, if he gets elected. There\u2019s a lot of things. He had better do some things! I mean, he\u2019s laid out a very specific set of things he\u2019s going to do that only he can do, and nobody\u2019s gonna stop him from doing. Anyway, the other thing that you said — and this is not related, but you started off your call saying when you go into an auto mechanic and you ask, “When\u2019s my car gonna be done?”<\/p>\n

And if they give you a vague answer like, “Well, it\u2019ll be a while,” you don\u2019t want to hear in a while; you want to hear a specific time frame. And I just… My reaction is: You have just identified a pet peeve of mine. I hate it when somebody says, “Okay, I\u2019ll meet you at so-and-so.” “When are you gonna be there?” “Soon.” “No, no, no. What is ‘soon\u2019? Tell me when you\u2019re gonna be there.” “It\u2019ll be ‘soon.\u2019 What\u2019s ‘soon\u2019 to you? ‘Soon\u2019 could be two hours to you! I want to know what it is.” Now, if you think Trump is playing games like that by not specifying various things to leave some leeway and latitude, then you are already constructing excuses for him not coming through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
