I don\u2019t know if they were the Jefferson Starship when they recorded this song or just The Starship. Whatever, the title of the tune is Miracles.<\/p>\n<p>You know, I have spent this entire week delving deeply, working diligently to make the complex understandable, trying to analyze and explain to people things they seem not to understand. Meaning, I\u2019ve been trying to explain to people why Trump is where he is, why Trump has the support that he has, and why those who are supporting Trump are doing so.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116715\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Complex-Understandable-Trump-Palin.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nI have not announced a preference for any candidate during all this. And yet it\u2019s amazing, despite my efforts at making complex things simple and understandable, it is clear that some people are so reactionary that they are unable &#8212; I mean, I haven\u2019t even delved into nuance on this. I haven\u2019t needed to get that detailed. It\u2019s pretty cut-and-dried. And yet there are people who still claim not to understand what\u2019s going on here.<\/p>\n<p>Look at the headlines here on Drudge, for example. Oh, by the way, there\u2019s video. Hillary Clinton went to Beaumont, Texas, and <a href=\"http:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/six-people-clinton-texas-airport-she-blew-them-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">six people showed up to greet her<\/a>, and she ignored them. Six people. She does not have a connection, folks, with any of her supporters. This Hillary Clinton support is so thin, it\u2019s so weak, it\u2019s based on the fact that her last name is Clinton and that there\u2019s a capital D next to her name. But she doesn\u2019t have nearly the connection with her supporters that Cruz has, for example, with his or that Trump has. It\u2019s so thin. And then six people show up, and she ignores \u2019em to boot, acts all uppity and everything.<\/p>\n<p>So here some of these headlines, and these are all panic-related headlines. &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/theweek.com\/articles\/600335\/donald-trump-poised-strongest-primary-performance-modern-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trump: Strongest Primary Performance in Modern History<\/a>.&#8221; &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.poynter.org\/2016\/the-media-struggles-with-trump-and-religion\/392452\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Media Struggles to Understand Support Among Evangelicals<\/a>.&#8221; Davos &#8212; this is the World Economic Forum &#8212; &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2016-01-21\/trump-fear-stalks-davos-as-elite-pray-for-spring-reality-check\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Global Elite Fear Trump<\/a>.&#8221; &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/norman-lear-calls-donald-trump-857103\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Norman Lear: Donald Trump is America\u2019s Middle Finger<\/a>,&#8221; or giving America the middle finger, what have you. And all of this opposition or fear is rooted in a lack of understanding of what\u2019s happening here.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116739\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPDemElectionNOObamaNoDem.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nI\u2019m not gonna go through everything that I went through yesterday, but to me this isn\u2019t complicated. You may not like it, but it isn\u2019t complicated. I think the reason a lot of people on the right are angry is because you have some hard bitten, thorough, through-and-through, rock-ribbed, totally principled conservatives, and they want the Republican conservative base to be based on a thorough, total, complete understanding and agreement with conservative principles and beliefs as these have been announced by the people that believe in them, the blogs, the think tanks, or what have you. And what they\u2019re learning here is that, again, not to overdo the phrase, but the degree of conservatism in the Republican Party has been overestimated. It\u2019s not just conservative principles that hold people who are conservative together. There are many different things, and the full-blown conservatives are a little bothered by this because it makes \u2019em think maybe they\u2019re not that important. It could be bothersome.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not what they should be worried about. There\u2019s nothing hard to understand here. The people supporting Ted Cruz, the people supporting Trump, the one thing they have in common, the one thing, and there is one thing they have in common: They don\u2019t want any more of the Democrat Party, of Obama, of the left. They don\u2019t want any more. They want it stopped. No more complicated than that.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Michael, Lake City, Florida. Hello, sir. Great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi. How you doing?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m good. I\u2019m good. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116731\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/PalinNRA_large.jpg\" align=\"right\" \/><br \/>\nCALLER: I just wanted to ask you a question, if you think that <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4422\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sarah Palin endorsing Trump actually hurts her credibility as a conservative<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t know that that\u2019s the question. I mean, it\u2019s an interesting question, but here\u2019s the question. Are you a Trump supporter? No wrong answer; just curious.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, I am not.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. You\u2019re not. Well, I can still ask you. Does Sarah Palin\u2019s endorsement of Trump actually help him or hurt him?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, for the between voters, independents, probably not because it\u2019s split down the middle 50-50 with the whole country, so no. But also, on top of that, the reason why I think it hurts her credibility as a conservative is I don\u2019t see Trump as being a conservative. He\u2019s never said outright that he\u2019s against universal health care &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: See, this &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; Obamacare.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m so glad you called out there, Michael, because look, it could well be. Only time will tell on this. There\u2019s no way to know right now whether Sarah Palin is hurting herself. How would that manifest? How could this hurt Sarah Palin? Would it result her selling fewer books? Would it mean people less likely to see her if she shows up and does a public appearance? I don\u2019t know if she ever wants to run for office again. If she does, does this hurt her there? I don\u2019t know how that hurts her.<\/p>\n<p>But if you put it in the framework of conservatism and you assume that she\u2019s a lock steady, rock-solid conservative and you think Trump isn\u2019t, and here she is joining forces with some guy who\u2019s not and abandoning somebody who really is, does that hurt her with conservatives? And you might, on paper, yeah, it would have to, if conservatism is what\u2019s happening here.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this is where a lot of people apparently have understood me this week. I got a couple of notes this morning from friends who work at various publications who said they had editorial meetings about me yesterday because somebody told somebody that I had said that the days of conservatism are over and that the future is populism and nationalism. Well, I didn\u2019t say that. I haven\u2019t said anything. I\u2019m analyzing what I think explains why people are doing what they\u2019re doing. I take the complex and make it understandable. And there\u2019s a bunch of stuff happening out here that has all kinds of people confused.<\/p>\n<p>Like Dr. Krauthammer. Last night &#8212; got the audio coming up &#8212; Dr. Krauthammer said he\u2019s perplexed because Trump can say anything and get away with it, that he can contradict himself left and right and it doesn\u2019t matter. Nobody cares, nobody holds him to it. He can\u2019t figure it out. That\u2019s just one example. How in the world can Trump say what he said about Megyn Kelly and grow his support? How can Trump say what he said about McCain and expand his lead? There are people scratching their heads, it doesn\u2019t make any sense to them. It violates everything they\u2019ve ever been taught, everything they ever believed about politics. It violates everything they have put into practice when in politics themselves.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m trying to answer all those questions for them, after engaging in deep analysis. And it is clear, his question, does Sarah Palin hurt herself with conservatives? I don\u2019t think Sarah Palin signed up with Trump because he\u2019s conservative. I don\u2019t think Sarah Palin\u2019s doing what she\u2019s doing to advance conservatism here. I don\u2019t want to put words in her mouth, and this is probably gonna be misunderstood. But what has &#8212; I don\u2019t know. In trying to explain &#8212; and I\u2019m not trying to justify anything. I\u2019m just trying to explain to you people, and I touched on this yesterday, there are a lot of people that tried to do great damage to Sarah Palin, and some of them are Republicans, and some of them call themselves conservatives.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116713\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushPanic.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nWhat does she really owe them? She has been mocked and made fun of. And even today she\u2019s been laughed at, made fun of and mocked because of her speech two days ago when she endorsed Trump. I still haven\u2019t seen it. I read the transcript. I told you what I thought of it yesterday. But she\u2019s being laughed at, mocked, and made fun of in conservative blog after conservative blog over her speech and her jacket. But I don\u2019t think when Sarah Palin decides to endorse Trump it has anything to do with conservatism. I mean, it\u2019s a factor. But she\u2019s not endorsing Trump because Trump\u2019s carrying a conservative banner.<\/p>\n<p>This is what I\u2019ve tried to tell these people in the establishment for the last two weeks, what I\u2019ve been trying to explain to everyone who\u2019s trying to understand this themselves, and this is what I think has got the conservative intelligentsia so &#8212; well, not panicked, but so concerned. It isn\u2019t about conservatism. They want to believe that the conservative movement exists because everybody understands the letter of the law on conservatism. Every policy, every philosophy, all the great conservative thinkers, and that\u2019s clearly not why people are calling themselves conservative.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s all kinds of other reasons that have nothing to do with the smartest conservatives in the room. So conservatism is not specifically the only glue that\u2019s putting this coalition of people together, and it\u2019s not why Sarah Palin signed up with Trump.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, this business of the glue. That\u2019s what I refer to. The glue that is holding Trump coalition together. This actually predates the Trump campaign. This goes back to who the Tea Party is, if you want to know the truth about it, folks. Everybody made the mistake of thinking when the Tea Party erupted out of nowhere &#8212; and let\u2019s not forget &#8212; by the way, by the way, welcome back. Rush Limbaugh. Great to have you here at the EIB Network at 800-282-2882.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116738\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPDemsTeaParty_large.jpg\" align=\"right\" \/><br \/>\nLet\u2019s not forget, the Tea Party was not the result of some strategic plan launched by somebody out of nowhere. It was a spontaneous eruption of mostly people that had never been professionally, formally involved in politics before. It dates to the Obama stimulus deal in 2009 but really began to coalesce with Obamacare. Those two things sent the big message to the Tea Party people, what would become known as the Tea Party people. That is, there was no longer any concern for what this government was spending. There was no longer any concern for the danger that that was going to cause. There was no longer any pretense of responsible budgeting, keeping public taxpayer money in check, used responsibly, none, it was all out the window.<\/p>\n<p>And people erupted in a combination of fear and outrage and anger over it. It was a betrayal. It was irresponsible. It was unresponsive to what people had voted for, what they thought they were going to get, and it was destructive. It was going to take the financial futures away from millions of people\u2019s children and grandchildren. And so the Tea Party was born. And the mistake was made right off the bat by the Drive-By Media and many inside the Beltway that the Tea Party was all conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>They wanted it to be all conservatives because they already then had their built-in mechanisms to impugn it. The left, the Democrat Party, and many in the Republican Party had already developed ways to mock, make fun of, impugn conservatives and conservatism for years. So here comes this new group of people. &#8220;Well, we\u2019ll just call \u2019em conservatives, made of angry white men, racists, sexists, a bunch of bigots,&#8221; and that\u2019s who they became, that\u2019s what they &#8212; well, that\u2019s not who they were. That\u2019s what the effort to define them became.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the Democrats, &#8220;You know what, we need our own group. We can\u2019t let this stand.&#8221; So they created Occupy Wall Street. That was a totally artificial, manufactured, bought and paid for rent-a-mob put together by the left and the Democrat Party made to look like it erupted spontaneously in response to the Tea Party, and it was made out to be much bigger and much more refined and organized and all that. And it was not. It was fake from beginning to end.<\/p>\n<p>Occupy Wall Street, I mean, they did real things, but their existence was entirely fake. There was nothing spontaneous about it. There was nothing natural about it. So from the get-go, the Republican establishment as well, mystifying me from day one, started making fun of and ragging on the Tea Party, right along with the Democrats. The Democrats led the charge on it along with the media. A bunch of hayseeds, bunch of hicks, you know, the usual ad hominem attacks.<\/p>\n<p>And all this is happening while Obama\u2019s getting health care up and running. Not a single Republican vote. There was a built-in majority coalition for the Republican Party to link to and join up with. The Tea Party consisted of not just Republicans, and it wasn\u2019t just conservatives. The Tea Party was made up of people who were apolitical. They had not been involved in politics one way or the other, other than voting, ever. They\u2019d never been to town hall meetings, none of it. They were scared, they were fed up, and they wanted somebody to know about it. They didn\u2019t feel like they were being listened to or heard or taken into account.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116737\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaIRSCampaignDonors.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nSo they started getting involved. And then when the years went by, the public perception was the Tea Party disbanded. Where\u2019s the Tea Party? Nobody talked about it anymore. The Tea Party had a bunch of groups that were organized back in the day, and they were out raising money and doing conventions and none of that seemed to be happening anymore, so the assumption was made that the Tea Party just kind of faded away, as it was going to \u2019cause it was never real in the first place, they said. It was never gonna have any staying power \u2019cause it\u2019s just average citizens, they were just anger on a lark, but they\u2019re over it now, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.<\/p>\n<p>Not a chance any of that was right. As Obama kept being Obama, the people in the Tea Party kept getting angrier. Remember, they tried to organize into tax-exempt foundations, fundraising. Hello IRS, not permitting it, shutting them down. That\u2019s another thing that led to people thinking the Tea Party was fading away and disbanding.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Republican Party had this built-in majority coalition to join up, and they never did, because they thought it was a bunch of conservatives. And they didn\u2019t want any part of \u2019em. They have continually overestimated who their base is. The Tea Party had a lot of Democrats in it. The Tea Party had a lot of minorities. The Tea Party had a bunch of people from a cross section, a demographic cross section. But you don\u2019t know that because you were told it was nothing but a malcontent conservatives and disaffected Republicans and what have you, because it was easier to criticize \u2019em that way.<\/p>\n<p>It was easier to make fun of \u2019em. It was easier to ridicule them and mock them. Because they\u2019d had years of experience doing it. &#8220;We\u2019ll just call \u2019em bunch of conservatives and nobody will take \u2019em seriously.&#8221; Well, guess where they are now? They\u2019re with Donald Trump, is where they are now. And if you have any doubt about that, if you\u2019re wondering why would Sarah Palin, just like our last call, Sarah Palin didn\u2019t endorse Trump to advance conservatism. That\u2019s not what this is about.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116747\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPvnvnvvn_large.jpg\" align=\"right\" \/><br \/>\nThere\u2019s so many missed opportunities for the Republican Party here. It\u2019s actually frightening to make a list of \u2019em all. The Republican Party could be owning the show. The Republican Party could have won the White House in 2012. The Republican Party could be a governing majority party except they don\u2019t want anything to do with conservatism. Not really. If they did, the political landscape would be an entirely different looking landscape today.<\/p>\n<p>I know the Republican Party mocked the Tea Party. They worked with the Democrats and the media to smear them, just like is happening now with the Trump coalition. The key point here is who they are. As I have been trying to say, the majority of Trump\u2019s support base are not Republican conservatives. There are a lot of them, but it\u2019s not the majority.<\/p>\n<p>Remember last week we learned 20% of Trump\u2019s supporters are disaffected blue-collar Democrats? Twenty percent who are admitting it. There\u2019s probably many more. Trump\u2019s got his share of Hispanics, his share of African-Americans, females. That\u2019s bad news for Hillary. Hillary, I mean, let\u2019s call a spade a spade. The vast majority of American men don\u2019t want any part of Hillary Clinton. That\u2019s why she has to get as much support from women as she can. She can\u2019t survive without it, because the men of America aren\u2019t &#8212; don\u2019t want &#8212; it isn\u2019t gonna happen. No way, Jose.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here is Edward in New York, 28 years old, great to have you on the program, Edward. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush. Longtime listener, first-time caller. I\u2019m in my twenties, and I am a Trump supporter, and I guess I\u2019m also a member of what people are calling the alt right. And I just wanted to, like, explain for maybe a lot of your listeners why Donald Trump is so popular, despite the consternation of many in the conservative movement and the Republican Party. And just really simply, the Democrat Party for the past half century has been openly the party of the fringes, right? The party of disaffected minority voters, black, Mexican immigrants, single women, feminists, all these things, homosexuals in the past, you know, ten years. And the Republican Party, whether it wants to admit this or not, has become the de facto party of white men. The only meaningful difference, though, is that the Republican Party is not allowed to appeal to its own constituency, while the Democrat Party obviously does nothing but appeal to its own constituents. So when you look at the political scene in America like this, Donald Trump not only becomes understandable, but he kind of becomes inevitable.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_116751\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trum-Hard-Hats-B2.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nRUSH: So you think people your age view Trump as something much needed, brand-new, breaking from the constraint formula that both parties find themselves in?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. And when people, you mentioned Charles Krauthammer earlier, you know, being so puzzled as to why Trump seems impervious to dropping poll numbers when he does things like insult Megyn Kelly. It\u2019s because, as weird as it sounds, it\u2019s not really about Trump. Donald Trump can kind of do whatever he wants because in a lot of ways he\u2019s the only person that seems serious. I know that sounds weird to the ears of someone like Jeb &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I totally get it. No, no, no, no. My burden as a host is I totally understand you. And the fact that I understand you is making me an enemy in some of my own sectors, the fact that I understand where you\u2019re coming from. When you say it\u2019s not really about Trump, it\u2019s the opportunity Trump presents, it\u2019s the newness, it\u2019s the what-have-you, it\u2019s the breaking out of whatever it is that\u2019s got us shackled, I totally get what you\u2019re saying. I like the way you expressed it, too. But I gotta run. I\u2019m really out of time.
