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

RUSH: I want to read something to you. I want you to really listen to this. This was written back in 1996, written by a man named Samuel Francis<\/a>, who later in life suffered the — acquired the — reputation of being a white supremacist. Undeservedly so, but there have been efforts undertaken to destroy his credibility and so forth. He was an advisor to Pat Buchanan.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t let any of that cloud what I\u2019m gonna read to you yet. I want to read to you from an essay he wrote called “From Household to Nation.” It was published in Chronicles magazine back in 1996. “[S]ooner or later, as the globalist elites seek to drag the country into conflicts and global commitments, preside over the economic pastoralization of the United States, manage the delegitimization of our own culture, and the dispossession of our people, and disregard or diminish our national interests and national sovereignty, a nationalist reaction is almost inevitable and will probably assume populist form when it arrives.”<\/p>\n


\nThe theory is that this is Donald Trump. The theory is that that (written back in 1996) foretold, if you will, or predicted the arrival of Donald Trump. Not by name, but by virtue of somebody realizing what\u2019s happening and taking the bull by the horns and reacting to it this way. “Imagine giving this advice to a Republican presidential candidate: What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again?” What do you think might happen in the current climate, where the middle class in the country feels totally left out of everything going on?<\/p>\n

They feel like they\u2019ve been targeted by every liberal Democrat policy that has not been stopped by the Republican Party. What if you dropped [talking] about the free market,” stop all of that, “and promised to fight the elites who were selling out American jobs? What if you just stopped talking about reforming Medicare and Social Security and instead said that the elites were failing to deliver better health care at a reasonable price? What if, instead of vainly talking about restoring the place of religion in society … you simply promised to restore the Middle American core,” and everything it stands for?<\/p>\n

You “promise to restore … the economic and cultural losers of globalization to their rightful place in America? What if you said you would restore them as the chief clients of the American state under your watch, being mindful of their interests when regulating the economy or negotiating trade deals?” What if you decided to go to middle America and tell them you\u2019re the guy that\u2019s gonna make it right, that you\u2019re the guy that\u2019s gonna speak up for them, you\u2019re the guy that understands how they have been targeted, how their lives have been under the microscope, how the establishment has raised their taxes, made health care unaffordable, has caused cultural rot?<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t send your kids to school anymore, because it costs so much they end up with debt. And besides, what\u2019s being taught in college reeks! So what if you come along and promise to fix all that but you don\u2019t call yourself a conservative? You just say you\u2019re gonna make America great again? This is the advice this man gave Buchanan back in 1996. He said (paraphrased), “This is what you need to do, Pat.” Buchanan couldn\u2019t do it in 1996 because Buchanan was so identified with conservative policies, conservatism as a conservative.<\/p>\n


\nHe couldn\u2019t abandon it, because that alone would have destroyed his credibility. Somebody asked Buchanan recently, after watching Trump run around the past few months: Pat, do you get the impression that Trump… I mean, he\u2019s talking about same stuff you do it way back when you ran for president 1996, 1992. Why do you think Trump\u2019s being heralded and supported and leading, and you weren\u2019t? Buchanan said because 20 years ago, he was just sounding the warning. None of this was really happening. He was warning people it was coming. Trump doesn\u2019t have to do it. We\u2019re living it. There\u2019s a 20-year record now.<\/p>\n

So Trump doesn\u2019t have to warn anybody.<\/p>\n

All he\u2019s gotta do is let people know he recognizes it. All of this comes from a column called “From Household to Nation,” written by this guy Samuel Francis. Pat Buchanan was the target back in 1996, and here\u2019s the simplification of the theory. It is that “[t]here are a number of Americans who are losers,” economic losers, not sad-sack losers. They just lost out in the enterprise of “economic globalization that enriches a transnational global elite. These Middle Americans see jobs disappearing to Asia and increased competition from” unskilled, uneducated, increasing numbers of immigrants, most of them illegal.<\/p>\n

They are stuck right in the middle of cultural rot brought about by liberalism. And the key: “But they are also threatened by conservatives who would take away their Medicare, hand their Social Security earnings to fund-managers in Connecticut, and cut off their unemployment too.” Now, that may make you say, “Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Why would these middle class voters fear conservatives?” Well, because this goes back to the whole thing, folks. There\u2019s a lot of conservatives out there; many of you in this audience are.<\/p>\n

But the theory now with Trump coming… Let me just cut to the real chase. What the end of all this, people think that the arrival of Trump on the scene and the success he\u2019s having has blown whatever alignment there was between the so-called conservative movement and the Republican Party, because what is happening here — what is being exposed, what\u2019s being demonstrated — is that, yeah, there are a lot of people who are conservative, but many will not call themselves that, and they are not conservatives because of conservative policy.<\/p>\n


\nIn other words, they\u2019re not wonks.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t understand all the ins and outs of classic conservatism. They\u2019re just who they are. Therefore, it\u2019s not conservatism that is the glue that has this group of people in this coalition held together. It\u2019s quite a number of other things, and right now the glue is an absolute opposition to the Democrat Party, to the American left, to the worldwide left, and everything they have done and want to continue doing. As I said yesterday, if somebody comes along and convinces them that they\u2019re serious about stopping this and reversing it, they don\u2019t care if it\u2019s somebody from Mars!<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t have to be a classical conservative promising this. It can be anybody who makes them trust him, anybody with credibility. So the fear is, when you get inside the Beltway, that all of the conservative institutions — in media and in think tanks, you name it. All the various components are being exposed as really unnecessary and irrelevant, and really haven\u2019t done anything for people. One illustration of that is the reaction to Sarah Palin from the Republican establishment.<\/p>\n

She shows up… Not the selection, but Palin showing up to endorse Trump. Everybody said, “Why in the world would she do that?” Let me ask you a simple question. “If you\u2019re Sarah Palin, what has the Republican establishment done for you — other than try to destroy you?” The Republican establishment, they assigned people to shepherd her through the McCain campaign who ended up telling the media, “My God, this woman is so stupid, I can\u2019t vote for McCain! The thought this woman might become president? Oh, my God, I can\u2019t!”<\/p>\n

<\/a>HBO made a movie out of it. So if you\u2019re Sarah Palin, you might ask, you\u2019re asking me why I\u2019m endorsing Trump? Why don\u2019t you ask me what has the so-called conservative Republican Party done for me. Tea Party\u2019s a different thing, obviously. So the Trump triumph, the Trump coalition is exposing the fact that it isn\u2019t conservative orthodoxy, or conservatism, or any of the hard work of the conservative elite in persuading people and educating them and informing them that is causing people to be conservative.<\/p>\n

No, it\u2019s something really basic and simple. They are fed up with the modern-day Democrat Party. They\u2019re fed up with Obama and all of these people who have set out to transform, which means destroy, this country and rebuild it in ways it was never founded to be or intended to be. They want it stopped. They\u2019ve shown up at the polls twice, 2010, 2014, to get them to stop.<\/p>\n

The Republican Party establishment does not understand this. They do not know who their conservative voters are. They\u2019ve overestimated their conservatism, and by that is meant they think they\u2019re dyed-in-the-wool conservative theoreticians absorbed in such things as the free market and all these other bells and whistles, and they\u2019re not. They\u2019re not liberal. They\u2019re not Democrat. Many of them do not want to be thought of as conservatives, for a host of reasons. So somebody who comes along and is able to convey that he or she understands why they\u2019re angry and, furthermore, is gonna do everything they can to fix it, is gonna own them.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s happening here, nationalism, dirty word, ooh, people hate it, populism, even dirtier word. Nationalism and populism have overtaken conservatism in terms of appeal. And when this has happened, when it exposes — what people in Washington are afraid of — and that that is, you know, all this money we\u2019ve asked people to send us and all these donations people have made, this movement, promote that movement, where is conservatism in Washington, they\u2019re asking. Where is it? The Republican Party isn\u2019t conservative. Where are all these conservative people that are contributing to policy being implemented in Congress or in the Senate. They don\u2019t see it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: By the way, folks, Angelo Codevilla in that original piece he did on the ruling class versus the country class,<\/a> he predicted this as well. It\u2019s not just this guy back in 1996 whose name was Samuel Francis. What\u2019s interesting about the 1996 piece is how right on it is in foretelling Trump and the way he\u2019s campaigning and what he\u2019s saying. This is a guy back in 1996 urging Buchanan to just go all-in. Forget conservatism, Pat, you\u2019re gonna turn too many people off, some people who are conservative but they don\u2019t want anybody to know it. They don\u2019t want anybody to think it. They\u2019re embarrassed of it for whatever reason. Don\u2019t even go to conservative. Don\u2019t even mention the word, Pat, just go pro-America, just go nationalism, populism, whatever, and you\u2019ll rake \u2019em in. You don\u2019t need those people, Pat.<\/p>\n

This is the summation of his advice. They\u2019ll drag you down. All they\u2019ll want to get in is on your campaign, be your policy expert. You don\u2019t need \u2019em, Pat. They\u2019re not gonna help you. But he couldn\u2019t. Buchanan couldn\u2019t abandon conservatism; he was too identified as one. But Trump, nobody\u2019s ever thought of him as a conservative. Doesn\u2019t have to abandon anything. Codevilla predicted this as well more recently. Codevilla said it was only a matter of time, the country class would figure out that the ruling class is not only not listening to them, but is actively suppressing them, and there would be a price to pay for this.<\/p>\n

At some point the country class, which considers itself the group of people that actually make the country work, would simply revolt and abandon the conventional arrangements that have always existed, the parties, party loyalty shmoilty. It would come down to who is going to fix the problems that everybody agrees are taking place that we face and are being pushed by people in Washington.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Kevin in St. Louis. Great to have you, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, I think the best way to explain to people why Trump is so popular is to kind of, you know, mirror what you did when you first started. You know, you started telling people who you were — and people started hearing you, and your popularity just grew. You know, you sort of set the foundation for what you believed in and kind of built on that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019re not the first person to tell me that they remember that when I started it, it seemed like a lot what Trump is doing now. I\u2019ve had some people tell me that. Here\u2019s the thing, though. I mean, I don\u2019t know the answer to this. I can give you the theory. I just have… I mean, here we have… Well, let\u2019s go through it very briefly, just very quickly, to get to the question I have about Trump. See, I think it makes total sense why Trump has support. I\u2019m not confused by it at all, and I\u2019m not angry. I think we have two political parties, but we don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The Republican Party, for whatever reason, refuses to be an opposition party. The Republican Party refuses to stand up and even make the pretense of trying to stop Barack Obama. Out in the real world, Barack Obama and the Democrat Party are seen as destroying this country. And not just domestically; they\u2019re destroying the military; they\u2019re destroying foreign policy. They are nuking up Iran. They are behaving in ways that befriending our enemies and alienating our friends and allies — and people are at their wits\u2019 end.<\/p>\n

They have voted, in large numbers, expecting there to be some opposition and push-back to this. That\u2019s the standard, normal procedure in politics. Politics is at least two competing organizations, and the winning organization always faces opposition by the losing organization \u2019cause it wants to get back in power. Well, the people that vote for Republicans are not seeing any opposition. They\u2019re not seeing any push-back. In fact, it\u2019s even worse than that. They\u2019re seeing the Republican Party agree with the Democrats on something as key as open borders.<\/p>\n


\nIf there\u2019s one thing that people in this country think is responsible for the direct hit on the economy and their future and their kids\u2019 future, it\u2019s illegal immigration and the willing importation of unskilled, uneducated, totally dependent people who are gonna be automatic voters for the Democrats, which means this never ends. So they\u2019re expecting the Republican Party to stand up and say, “No!” They\u2019re expecting the Republican Party to stand up and try to stop it. They\u2019re not seeing it. They\u2019re at their wits\u2019 end.<\/p>\n

They have voted.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve donated.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve given money when they could afford it.<\/p>\n

They have campaigned. They\u2019ve gotten out the vote. They have shown up as the Tea Party. They\u2019ve gone to town meetings. They have gone neighborhood door-to-door. They\u2019ve manned the phone banks. They\u2019ve done all of that. They\u2019ve got nothing to show for it except maybe they lose their job, maybe they\u2019re cut back to 30 hours, maybe their neighborhood Walmart\u2019s closing down. Everything\u2019s caving in on them! They\u2019re the ones playing by the rules. They\u2019re not cultural perverts. They\u2019re not people breaking the law.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re doing everything they can to play by the rules, and they don\u2019t think anybody is standing up for \u2019em or representing them.<\/p>\n

They feel powerless.<\/p>\n

They feel like they\u2019re being targeted.<\/p>\n

They think they\u2019re being blamed for whatever\u2019s gone wrong in this country that Obama and the Democrats don\u2019t like. And they\u2019re not to blame. They represent what\u2019s great about this country, and they\u2019re being winnowed out. Well, it only stands to reason that when somebody comes along and lets them know that he agrees with that — and these days are over and we\u2019re gonna make this country great again and you\u2019re gonna help me do it — and we\u2019re together gonna make this country great, I guarantee you that is a magnet that no Republican, conservative, expert, think tank, whatever, can stop.<\/p>\n


\nIt\u2019s not hard to understand this at all. Except the Republican Party I don\u2019t think understands what is animating and motivating their base supporters. They\u2019re not worried about the Republican Party future. They\u2019re not worried about the image of the Republican Party, not worried about the media liking them. They\u2019re not worried about money being donated. They\u2019re worried about their country. They oppose, stridently, the modern-day Democrat Party. They oppose the policies of Barack Hussein O. It isn\u2019t personal.<\/p>\n

They just don\u2019t like what\u2019s happening. They don\u2019t like the out-of-control spending. They don\u2019t like $4.5 trillion printed and given to Wall Street, and here\u2019s Wall Street squandering it now! They don\u2019t like any of this. Somebody comes along and says, “I don\u2019t either. You know what? We\u2019re gonna work together, and we\u2019re gonna make this country great again. We got stupid people running it.” Well, Trump\u2019s not criticizing Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives. He\u2019s criticizing stupid people.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s gonna be smarter. He gonna make great deals. He\u2019s gonna make the country great again. People want to believe that. This is not hard to understand at all, if you ask me. Now, my question is — and it really is not all that important. Does Trump know he\u2019s doing this or did he just… Is it just who he is and he just happened to arrive on the scene at the moment? Is this some sort of grand strategy that he\u2019s working out, or did he just fall into this? I mean right person, right time, or is it strategic?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
