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

RUSH: Over to NBC now. Peter Alexander. This guy gets it right. This was on the Today Show today. He had a report about the recent battle between Trump and Cruz.<\/p>\n

ALEXANDER: Conservative commentators questioning Trump\u2019s tactics. Take Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: Whatever you want to say, Cruz is not a nasty guy. When you get into criticism, it better be believable.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, I said that, and it\u2019s in context, and so it\u2019s out there<\/a>. But they love it. The Drive-Bys relish it. See, the Drive-Bys, it\u2019s fascinating. The Drive-Bys want to take both these guys out, but they know they can\u2019t do it at the same time. So they have to take one of them out, then they go get the other. Whoever gets out first, the second one survives, they\u2019ll get \u2019em. And they\u2019re looking for help. So they\u2019re turning to me, who happens to be just an entertainer.<\/p>\n

Any time I happen to utter something that they think is helpful to the objective they have, well, they ride in there and they find it and they prominently broadcast it on all their big shows. “Conservative commentators questioning Trump\u2019s tactics. Take Rush Limbaugh.” This is classic. The media loves to get other people to say what they think themselves as a way of maintaining this facade that they are objective and fair and honest. NBC Nightly News. This is Hallie Jackson. She is the NBC correspondent reporting about the Republican presidential primary.<\/p>\n

JACKSON: Conservative radio hosts are now warning Trump he may be turning off some Republicans with his attacks on Cruz. Watching it all unfold? The establishment candidates, since this Trump-Cruz battle could open up space for one of them to rise.<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: Yes, and you see that happens to be one of the unspoken little secrets, that if Trump-Cruz heats up and one of them starts doing real damage to the other, then maybe one of the guys we really want can get a push, maybe a little vacuum is created, maybe Jeb would somehow launch in and fill it. Don\u2019t forget, John Kasich in a poll today in New Hampshire showing up at — (interruption) Are you kidding me? Is that the big announcement? That can\u2019t be the big announcement. Jesse James, Instagram post on Trump, that can\u2019t be. This is the guy that used to be married to Sandra Bullock, the chop shop guy, the motorcycle guy, the tattoo guy. Jesse James endorses Trump, praising him — that can\u2019t be the big announcement Trump promised. No, no, it\u2019s not. It\u2019s an Instagram post.<\/p>\n

Okay. So here\u2019s Hallie Jackson on NBC: Conservative radio hosts are now warning Trump he may be turning off some Republicans with his attacks on Cruz. So they went last night, CNN got a Trump spokesman to be on with Erin Burnett. Her name is Katrina Pierson and here\u2019s the chitchat.<\/p>\n

BURNETT: You just heard Rush Limbaugh saying, Donald Trump, not a good idea. Another one saying you could lose votes if you keep attacking Cruz. Is Trump nervous? Is that why he suddenly went silent on Cruz today?<\/p>\n


\nPIERSON: Donald Trump wasn\u2019t attacking Ted Cruz today. It was because Ted Cruz wasn\u2019t attacking Donald Trump. Mr. Cruz was attacking Trump over the weekend in the media, and Donald Trump was responding in kind. There is no way someone\u2019s gonna go out there and attack Donald Trump and him just sit there and take it. It\u2019s not gonna happen.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And that\u2019s been the standard operating procedure from the get-go. No news there. Staying on CNN, Anderson Cooper 360, he had Dana Bash on, their chief political correspondent. And the conversation continued. Cooper\u2019s question to Dana Bash, “Did Trump attack Ted Cruz at any of his rallies today?”<\/p>\n

BASH: No. Not at all. And actually it was quite surprising. But earlier today in Virginia, here in New Hampshire, not one word about Ted Cruz. Now, Trump has been getting some blowback from some conservative talk radio saying, “Wait a minute, be careful, Donald Trump, before you go too far in attacking Ted Cruz,” warning that he\u2019s attacking him and he could risk alienating his own voters.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. I got an e-mail, too. And this is interesting so I\u2019m going to endeavor to answer this. I\u2019m paraphrasing. I\u2019m not reading it. I didn\u2019t print it out. I have it right in front of me. The premise of the question is: Rush, why is it so important to warn Trump that he may be making a mistake? I don\u2019t hear any of you warning Cruz that he might be making a mistake. And I don\u2019t hear any of you warning Jeb Bush that he\u2019s making mistakes, and I don\u2019t hear any of you warning Kasich or Rubio. Why is it so important that you warn Trump?<\/p>\n

Well, the answer is actually multifaceted, but it is rooted in the idea that whatever happens here — and I know this is gonna be tough for some of you out there, based on things I\u2019ve read, to stomach, but speaking for myself, I do not think it is helpful to have conservatism bashed as part of this process.<\/p>\n

So any time anybody, I don\u2019t care who it is, any time anybody mounts an attack or a criticism, I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s on Cruz, I don\u2019t care who it would be on, if it was on Trump, if anybody mounts an attack on any of these Republicans that is like something a liberal Democrat would say, I\u2019m gonna step up and comment on it. I remember back in 2000 — I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll remember this — George W. Bush out there campaigning as a compassionate conservative, and he said, “We can\u2019t balance the budget on the backs of the poor.” And, I\u2019m sorry, but I had to launch on that. That is not the way conservatives talk. To talk that way, to be critical of conservatism that way, is not helpful, useful, or any of those other things, and it\u2019s wrong. So speaking for myself, it is an objective here to protect conservatism.<\/p>\n

Now, some of you might say, “But that doesn\u2019t disprove that Trump\u2019s not a conservative!” I… Folks, can I take you back to the first story that I shared with you today? It\u2019s by David French. It\u2019s at National Review<\/a>. And its focus is on how the Republican establishment has overestimated its conservative base. The upshot of the piece is that the Republican establishment is shooting itself in the foot because it doesn\u2019t really know who its conservative base is, doesn\u2019t understand it, and has a totally wrong conception of who they are — or we are.<\/p>\n


\nThe Republican establishment considers there to be many types of conservatives, and they think the primary definition of a “conservative” is a social issues conservative who is pro-life, rigidly law and order, small government, reduce the size of government, stop this needless spending. They think that is what animates the Republican base today. Of course that\u2019s anathema to them at the establishment. They live and work in Washington and government. They don\u2019t want to hear talk of it getting smaller. They don\u2019t want to hear talk of there being less money.<\/p>\n

This is how they live. Government\u2019s their business. Spending money is their business. Spending their money is how they get elected. What they are missing is that the primary animating aspect of conservatism today… It\u2019s a given that conservative principles define a conservative. The application of those principles, and the way they manifest themselves today, is a total opposition to the Democrat Party, to liberalism, to the left, whatever it is. That is what is energizing conservatives, not conservative principles because those are a given.<\/p>\n

If any of you rock-ribbed conservatives out there still can\u2019t figure out why Trump appeals to people that you think would automatically disqualify him \u2019cause he\u2019s not conservative, it\u2019s because he is doing a bang-up job criticizing the party and the policies which are destroying this country. So is Ted Cruz. Jeb Bush doesn\u2019t understand this language. Jeb Bush doesn\u2019t understand criticizing the left. Rubio does, but the rest of them don\u2019t. You want to know why they\u2019re not resonating well?<\/p>\n


\nThis is not a contest here over who is the purest, most doctrinaire conservative. Who is it that recognizes the immediate threat this country faces? The immediate threat this country faces, and we have been facing and fighting for at least recently seven years is the Democrat Party and Barack Hussein O, an authoritarian leftist, statist, transformative agenda which seeks to turn this country into something it was never founded to be nor intended to be. That\u2019s the immediate threat. The immediate threat is stopping what is happening to this country today as implemented by the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n

And if a Martian landed here and understood the threats posed by the Democrat Party and was able to spell them out, the Martian would be supported. If a Corinthian walked in here from the Middle East and landed on CNN and knew how to criticize Obama and the Democrats and was able to articulate the dire consequences of this nation\u2019s future if this stuff doesn\u2019t stop, the Corinthian would be automatically supported and celebrated. According to Mr. French, this is what the GOP doesn\u2019t understand. The GOP does not think there\u2019s a crisis.<\/p>\n

The GOP doesn\u2019t think the Democrat Party\u2019s any different today than it was ten years ago, 15 years ago. The Republican Party today does not think the Constitution is threatened, they don\u2019t think the spending is out of control. It\u2019s nothing that we can\u2019t deal with. It\u2019s so out of whack, the Republican establishment doesn\u2019t even understand why this economy is tanking! Can I tell you why the economy\u2019s tanking? It\u2019s very simple: The federal government, under Obama, decided to print $4.5 trillion. They gave the money to Wall Street, so the banks could remain solvent, so the banks could continue to be bailed out, so that the 1%…<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s anybody in this country — any single person — who\u2019s responsible for the divide between haves and have-nots, for this income inequality, it\u2019s Barack Hussein O and his buddies at the Federal Reserve. Barack Obama has done more to widen the gap between rich and poor than any Republican\/conservative could ever hope to. It\u2019s $4.5 trillion, and not a penny of it… If you\u2019re gonna print money for the purposes of stimulating and not a penny of it ends up in what you and I would consider the mainstream economy, it ends up on Wall Street as securities, bailouts for banks, solvency for the banks, what have you.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t print that kind of money and not have it come back and bite you, and we\u2019re having it come back and bite you. See the stock market plunges recently? The bubble? All of a sudden, these people have gotten used to corporate welfare from the Fed, and all of a sudden it\u2019s gotten turned off now. That $4.5 trillion was it, and they\u2019re panicking. So everybody\u2019s selling off, taking their profits. And you hear rumblings of 2008 all over again. This artificial injection of $4.5 trillion that we didn\u2019t have, that we just printed?<\/p>\n


\nThings like this, people out there understand from the first days of Obama, when he first announced his stimulus. All this spending, this irresponsible spending has got to stop. It\u2019s eating away and destroying the future of people\u2019s kids and grandkids and great-grandkids now. And the Republican Party seems oblivious! “It\u2019s nothing. It\u2019s just the Fed. They\u2019re just… Okay, we had to keep the banks going, keep Wall Street going. I mean, the rest of the economy was sort of hurting, so we gotta keep one end of it up: Wall Street.”<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t see anything really wrong with it. Those people all donate to political candidates, so some of the money came back to politicians, which is the money laundering little secret. You want to know why our economy hasn\u2019t recovered? You want to know why 94 million Americans are out of work? It\u2019s because there hasn\u2019t been one single responsible economic policy implemented since Obama took office that would get the government out of the way and allow this economy made up of free markets and investors and entrepreneurs to grow.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Rush Limbaugh, talent on loan from God-d. West Palm Beach. This is Noah. Great to have you, Noah. Welcome, sir, and how are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush, for taking my call. I\u2019m a first-time caller. A little nervous here. But I just wanted two comments, if I can. The first comment was about the Drive-By Media kind of bashing you in a way as far as biasing people\u2019s decisions, but, you know, at the end of the day I\u2019m reading from your website, it says that, you know, they shouldn\u2019t be taken seriously, they\u2019re just entertainers. They\u2019re kind of doing the same thing what they\u2019re saying not to do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What\u2019s that? I lost you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, do you hear me?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but they\u2019re kind of doing the same thing, what they\u2019re saying, not —<\/p>\n


\nCALLER: I\u2019m just saying that they\u2019re trying to convince people not to listen to you guys, so they\u2019re trying to kind of brainwash in a way. So what they\u2019re trying to teach not to do, they\u2019re doing the exact same thing. It\u2019s kind of like rhetorical in a way. I don\u2019t know if you got that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t understand — are you saying the media is becoming like a bunch of entertainers.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, basically that, you know, the talk radio people, they\u2019re just entertainers, they\u2019re not really to be taken seriously, they\u2019re just entertainers, so them saying that, they\u2019re trying to talk to an audience to convince a mind-set, which is pretty much what you do with conservatives so it\u2019s like in fact they\u2019re — I don\u2019t know if I can make —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but here\u2019s why I\u2019m confused, it\u2019s because the last week, the Drive-By Media is treating me as an oracle.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019re not treating me as entertainer today. They\u2019re treating me as the oracle of the day who has the power to determine who survives and who doesn\u2019t, the campaign.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But that\u2019s not — I mean, we\u2019re independent thinkers. What you\u2019re doing, you\u2019re running a conservative talk show radio, so anything that is non-conservative or is conservative, you\u2019re gonna preach about it, so I don\u2019t understand the media saying that you\u2019re gonna be biasing us like we\u2019re robots.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the explanation for that is that — depending on the day — the media does not… Look, I don\u2019t know how many times… There is a… This is not what he said he wanted to talk about, folks, and then he stretched it. He wanted to talk about how he\u2019s lost faith in Trump so I was prepared for that. Now he\u2019s… I don\u2019t know if you\u2019re sucking up or being critical here. But if the media had their druthers, I wouldn\u2019t exist. They\u2019re upset at me and mad at me \u2019cause I blew up their monopoly. But other days they think I can be useful in accomplishing what they want.<\/p>\n

They, right now, want Trump and Cruz destroyed. They think (because you people are a bunch of mind-numbed robots), that if I set my mind to destroying Trump, that you will believe me and abandon Trump. They don\u2019t understand you. They don\u2019t understand the program. They don\u2019t understand how I look at you. You are not mind-numbed robots. You are independent thinkers. You\u2019re individuals, and you make up your mind long before you turn the radio on. But they don\u2019t think that, and it\u2019s not just of this show. That\u2019s how they think of everybody.<\/p>\n

They think they have their audience of mind-numbed robots who don\u2019t know what to think until they watch the NBC or ABC, CBS nightly news. They do not have any concept of an American people or a population that is intelligent and capable and competent to go through life making up their own minds. So whenever voters do something that liberal Democrats don\u2019t like, it\u2019s not because the voters are genuinely that way; it\u2019s \u2019cause somebody\u2019s poisoned them, like me. I, on the other hand, do not look at members of this audience with anything but respect.<\/p>\n

I certainly don\u2019t look at people with contempt, and I don\u2019t sit here thinking that you don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about. Quite the opposite. I think you understand everything I\u2019m saying, and I treat you that way. They\u2019re the ones that don\u2019t. They had a monopoly. There was nobody challenging them. So whatever they wanted people to believe, that\u2019s all the news was. And they can\u2019t get away with it anymore. So, you know, every day they\u2019re confused. I mean, some days they wish I wasn\u2019t here. Other days, they\u2019re glad; they hope they can manipulate me into doing what they want done that they can\u2019t do on their own.<\/p>\n

They can\u2019t take Trump out. So they\u2019re hoping I will.<\/p>\n


\nThey can\u2019t take Cruz out. They\u2019re hoping I will.<\/p>\n

(interruption) Well, they have tried. Oh, they\u2019ve tried! They\u2019ve tried to take me out for 27 years. They can\u2019t. That\u2019s the whole point. It frustrates \u2019em. But, look… (sigh) At the end of the day here, they can\u2019t accomplish what they want universally on their own. They want Trump and Cruz both gone. They want Hillary to be president. So they will respect me for a fleeting moment if I happen to say something that they think might achieve something they want. So if they think I\u2019ve really ripped into Trump? Oh, they can\u2019t wait to give me all kinds of credibility and report it as though I\u2019m an oracle!<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s what you\u2019re seeing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
