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

RUSH: So, ladies and gentlemen, let\u2019s just go to audio sound bites. I have a point to make here because the long knives, predictably, are out for your beloved host. That would be me. We will start with CNN last night, Jake Tapper\u2019s program, speaking with the Republican National Committee Reince Priebus about me and my reaction to Governor Nikki Haley. Who, by the way… Did anybody notice Nikki Haley walking it all back now? Did you notice that? It started with this mutual apology and embrace between Trump and Nikki Haley at the debate last night and then the story from TheHill.com: “Haley Walks Back Criticism of Bush and Rubio<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Not only Bush and Rubio, but Trump. She\u2019s out there saying Trump, “angry voices,” and then she hit Rubio on amnesty and some other things. She withdrew her attacks against these Republican candidates in the aftermath of the backlash over her State of the Union response. She called Trump a “friend,” and acknowledged that he\u2019s given her donations in the past. I mean, yeah, there was a lot of reaction to Nikki Haley. But where did it happen for two days? Where was it explained in great detail? Right here on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s go back to the audio sound bites. Jacob Tapper and Reince Priebus last night on CNN, plays a clip of me from Wednesday\u2019s program and gets Priebus\u2019 reaction. Here\u2019s how it happened…<\/p>\n

TAPPER: I want you to listen to Rush Limbaugh yesterday talking about Governor Haley.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: I think it\u2019s proof and it\u2019s an example of so much. For one thing, it\u2019s almost absolute proof of what I have been saying for last couple years now, that the Republican Party\u2019s trying to drive conservatives out of the party.<\/p>\n


\nTAPPER: Now, that\u2019s probably the most influential conservative talk show host in the country telling conservatives that the Republican Party doesn\u2019t want or care about them. How do you…? As the head of the RNC, how do you combat that kind of narrative?<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s not me! Once again, I\u2019m not the guy who said I want to win the Republican nomination without the base. That was Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush is the party. The Bushes are the party. They are the party establishment. Everybody else is along with them, and they made it plain that their objective was to win the Republican nomination without the base. And we knew how they were gonna do it because they told us. They were gonna raise all the money and they were gonna divide all the money going to conservative candidates.<\/p>\n

They\u2019d winnow them out, and Bush would be the last man standing, with the donor class providing the energy and the money for it. I mean, I didn\u2019t make this up. I mean, when you have the chosen\/the favorite of the establishment, Jeb Bush, making it clear in his campaign that they want to win the nomination without the base, well, what\u2019s the base? The base is the conservative wing of the party. What are we to conclude from this? Anyway here\u2019s the chairman of the RNC responding to the observations of Jacob Tapper on CNN.<\/p>\n

PRIEBUS: It\u2019s completely false and there\u2019s no base in fact of it. I mean, the truth is no matter who you\u2019re for, whether any one of the 12 candidates, the one thing that we have to have is a national party that has its act together when it comes to the mechanics, the ground game, the data operation, the thousands of people that we pay across the country to register voters. And to make sure that no matter who wins, that we\u2019re a heck of a lot better than we were in 2012. Now, I can\u2019t think of a single controversial thing about that. So no matter who wins, if you don\u2019t have a Republican National Committee that\u2019s really good, they will lose for sure. So, we win if we have a good nominee and a good national party. We lose if we don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so that\u2019s Reince Priebus, the RNC chairman, answering Jake Tapper saying that, no, Rush is wrong; that we\u2019re not trying to drive conservatives out of the party. Jeffrey Lord is a commentator for CNN. He\u2019s also an author and a writer, a former political operative in the Reagan administration back in the eighties on CNN last night, post-debate coverage with Anderson Cooper. Jeffrey Lord had this to say about this little dustup.<\/p>\n

LORD: Another thing that\u2019s key today in terms of what went on with Nikki Haley, Governor Haley of South Carolina, is that Rush Limbaugh immediately came to Donald Trump\u2019s defense —<\/p>\n

COOPER: Right.<\/p>\n

LORD: — and went after her. That\u2019s no small thing here, and Rush was doing it again today.<\/a> And the message, of course, is… I mean, this is about that split in the Republican Party, and I see the chairman, Reince Priebus, felt compelled to disagree with Rush in a statement, which is surely not a comfortable place for him to be —<\/p>\n

COOPER: Right.<\/p>\n


\nLORD: — because we all know Rush is the real chairman.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Jeez! (laughing) Jeffrey Lord at CNN (laughing), and Anderson Cooper didn\u2019t disagree. Okay, now, look, folks, just so you understand, I know exactly what I\u2019m doing. There are all kinds of people yelling that with this vaunted position I have that there has to be some degree of responsibility. Don\u2019t tell me. This is patently obvious to me. If you\u2019d have told me 30 years ago that I was gonna end up being in this position, I would have told you, “You\u2019re crazy. I just want to be a guy on the radio, pure and simple. That\u2019s all I want to do.”<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never had political aspirations, perspirations of any sort. However, what has happened is what has happened. I can\u2019t deny what I see. I can\u2019t ignore what I hear. I\u2019m not the only one who has heard for years… Go back to the Reagan years. The Republican establishment just doesn\u2019t like conservative candidates. They don\u2019t like conservatives winning the nomination. Take a look at the establishment nominees and choices in the recent past; you\u2019ll see what I mean. But I don\u2019t even need to ask you to rely on your memory.<\/p>\n

I have an incredible story here last night — and, by the way, just to give you a little bit of inside data, if you watched the debate last night, did you hear a lot of boos for Trump? (interruption) Did you wonder about that? (interruption) Well, you knew where it was coming? (interruption) Where was it coming from? (interruption) Where do you…? (interruption) No. (interruption) No. (interruption) It might have been the Bush camp, but I\u2019ll tell you where the boo birds were coming from. They were coming from North Carolina.<\/p>\n

The North Carolina GOP bused a bunch of people down there and their express purpose was to try to show that there is no massive support for Trump. They wanted to do some damage. They are grudgingly accepting Ted Cruz now. But can you go back just maybe three, four weeks? How many of you remember the Republican establishment embracing Ted Cruz, promoting Ted Cruz, thinking Ted Cruz would be the solution? I mean, it didn\u2019t happen, did it? But it has worked out that way.<\/p>\n

I mean, if you wanted to say somebody won the debate last night, you\u2019d have to say it\u2019s Ted Cruz. Some might think it\u2019s a toss-up between Cruz and Trump, but they all did well, particularly the three top-tier candidates. But none of this is made up. This is pure observation. Let me first play for you a sound bite. This is found on The Politico website. They released a video of a Republican National Committee member named Holland Redfield. Holland Redfield is an RNC member and Republican precinct leader, captain, whatever, in the Virgin Islands, which traditionally votes majority Democrat every presidential election. He was speaking about the party and the 2016 presidential race at the Republican National Committee winter meeting yesterday in Charleston.<\/p>\n


\nREDFIELD: When I see the tenor of discussion amongst these candidates — who are using our label and professing they are either conservative or liberal — and the disrespect in many cases for ethnic minorities in the United States and also religious factions in the United States, you have to draw the line. Because sooner or later, somebody has to pick up the pieces. … [O]r almost terrorizes members of our party. “Shut up, toe the line, embrace each other, and let\u2019s go forward.” I understand that. But there is a limit to where loyalty is!<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s upset about Trump. Holland Redfield was upset about Trump. Priebus was in the audience there. What they were talking about behind closed doors was figuring out how to sponsor a rebellion against Trump because they think they\u2019re being held hostage by Trump and by Trump\u2019s supporters. But I have something else here. This is also in TheHill.com, and it\u2019s the most amazing story. It\u2019s about Republican strategist Ford O\u2019Connell. I never heard of him. I don\u2019t know who he is. But he is of the crowd in the Republican Party who believes and “has long insisted that the Republican Party must expand its demographic appeal.”<\/p>\n

We must reach out to the Hispanics!<\/p>\n

We must reach out to the women!<\/p>\n

He is right off the front pages of the donor class. He\u2019s one of these guys that believes the party ought to be perceived as willing to work with Democrats, and he wants to tout when they do work with Democrats, wants to promote how cooperative they are, how they can “make Washington work.” He wants to do everything he can to turn the Republican Party into a totally moderate, RINO party. And he\u2019s frustrated and panicked over the conservative ascendancy at the moment in the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not even the half at the story. He calls himself a “modernizer” in this story, meaning he\u2019s one of the group of people that wants to modernize this party and bring it into the Twenty-First Century because it\u2019s being run now by the Neanderthals, which are the conservatives. And the conservatives are ascendant and we can\u2019t have that. “There is no way. We don\u2019t even want to win with the conservatives winning,” is his point. And he suggested in this story… I\u2019m giving you the summary of it. I\u2019ll read to you from it when I have time in the next half hour.<\/p>\n

But his “nightmare scenario,” Ford O\u2019Connell… According to the TheHill.com,<\/p>\n


\n“The nightmare scenario for modernizers like himself, he suggested, was a conservative candidate becoming the nominee and winning the general election because of a ‘perfect storm\u2019 of pro-GOP factors. Such an outcome, he suggested, would postpone the hard conversations that party needs to have” for long-term survival. Yes. You heard right.<\/p>\n

A Republican nominee — a conservative nominee — who wins the White House is a problem because it postpones the party “modernizing” and doing what it must do to be a long-term, viable party. He said, “If they are successful…” He\u2019s talking about Trump and Cruz, and he\u2019s RNC. “‘If they are successful,\u2019 O\u2019Connell said of candidates such as Trump and Cruz, ‘then those who are arguing to broaden our appeal will be pushed to the edges of the party.'” They don\u2019t want a conservative to win no matter what.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, this segment\u2019s gonna be real short because I went long in the first one — and it\u2019s bad. I apologize for that. Short segments irritate you, and I understand it. But we will delay the continuation of the story on Mr. Ford O\u2019Connell who thinks a conservative victory — conservative nominee and then the conservative nominee winning the White House — will delay the much needed growth the Republican Party must have if it\u2019s to have a long-term future. The details of that coming up.<\/p>\n

Meantime, try this headline. This is The Politico: “Bush Donors Await Green Light to Jump Ship — When Jeb Bush announced a record fundraising haul in July, the Florida Republican rewarded major donors with a two-day celebratory retreat at the family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine. They also delivered a message: $114 million was just the beginning of how much cash they would need to win. Now, seven months later and just 17 days before the [Hawkeye Cauci], Bush\u00c2\u2019s donors are no longer high-fiving or strategizing how to keep funds flowing. Instead,” they\u2019re waiting for permission to jump ship and join other campaigns.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I don\u2019t care that they blame me, Mr. Snerdley, as long as they spell my name right. You know, I\u2019m thinking of changing my first name from Rush to Vontaze. Vontaze Limbaugh, number 55<\/a>, taking \u2019em out one player at a time. No, I really did. It\u2019s serious, but it\u2019s silly. The idea that I or anybody else in the media is responsible for Donald Trump? You know, it gets to a question. Since when — and I\u2019m dead serious about this. I want anybody to repeat this as far and wide as you want. Since when is it my responsibility to take candidates out of races? Since when is it my responsibility to do that?<\/p>\n


\nEven if you think… In this casek let\u2019s just put it out on the table. You think Trump\u2019s not conservative and I am Mr. Conservative, and you wonder why I\u2019m not out there trying to expose Trump as a phony, fraud conservative or whatever? Why is this up to me? What if I don\u2019t feel like doing that? What if I think Trump\u2019s performing an important service? And you know what it is? Trump is the first to arrive at important issues we all care about. Some of you might disagree with what he says about it, how he says about it.<\/p>\n

But for the longest time… We\u2019ve had two landslide election victories, 2010 and 2014. We got nothing to show for it. We don\u2019t even get recognition from elected officials that they think the problems that we think are the problems are the same thing. So here comes Trump, and he\u2019s properly identifying what the problems are. He\u2019s the first to identify them. You call it gutsy, courageous. I don\u2019t care what you call it. And then he launches on these issues as the first to arrive at them and happens to say some pretty responsible things about \u2019em issue-wise.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve said over and over again what I think the other services that Trump is performing are, such as showing you don\u2019t have to be afraid of the media, which is a Republican hallmark today. You don\u2019t have to be afraid of violating political correctness. You don\u2019t have to be defensive. You don\u2019t have to be ashamed of yourself. None of that. You can win with traditional, good old American confidence and roll-up-the-sleeves hard work! Be proud of who you are, stand for what you believe in, and tell everybody how right you are and bring them along with you.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been a genuine hunger for that for I don\u2019t know how many years here, on the conservative side. But even with all that, since when does the establishment media, the quasi-conservative media, the Republican Party…? Since when is it our job here on talk radio to do what they want done? They want Trump taken out? Go for it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: John in Ithaca. Welcome, sir. Great to have you on the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good to talk to you again, Rush. Mega dittos.<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: From the land of the left. Rush, you\u2019re not responsible for Trump. Trump is responsible for Trump. Nobody\u2019s gonna set him up, and I think you\u2019re responsible and should take the control that you brought the House and the Senate back to the Republicans. That\u2019s what they ought to give you credit for.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh-ho. Oh, now you\u2019re issuing fighting words to \u2019em out there, John.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, maybe it\u2019s time we got the pot stirred a little bit more. But to accuse you of setting up Trump? It\u2019s a laugh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I mean, he\u2019s his own man.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate that, and it\u2019s a very mature view that you\u2019re espousing. To be specific, what I am being accused of — and talk radio, too — is that when Trump came along, we should have spotted immediately he is a fraud, not a conservative, and we should have immediately taken him out. While they sit around with their magazines and their blog sites, we\u2019re supposed to take Trump out. And then when we don\u2019t, we\u2019re the phonies and we are back-stabbing our own whatever. You know, it\u2019s been 27 years and there are still supposed students of this game that have no idea what happens on this program or why.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. Yes, I said the North Carolina GOP was bused in there last night and booing Trump. It\u2019s not they were bused in. The GOP was having its winter meetings that coincided there with the debate, and North Carolina\u2019s close so you had a bunch of North Carolina GOP show up and I understand they\u2019re the ones booing Trump in there. So what? Big deal. They\u2019re all worked up on Facebook over this \u2019cause I said they were bused in. Okay, you drove yourselves there! Big deal. What\u2019s the difference? They were there, and Trump got booed. Is there any wonder who did it? Man, oh, man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
