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

RUSH: We\u2019re gonna start Grand Rapids, Michigan, with Matt. I\u2019m glad you called, sir. It\u2019s great to have you on the program. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, dittos, Rush. Happy New Year.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Hey, you mentioned something a short time ago about the fact that the GOP lacked some courage, and I called to see if you could expand upon that, and I guess what I\u2019m getting at is, I think that\u2019s why the crosshairs are aimed right at Trump, is because he does wear that medal of courage that cowardly lion didn\u2019t have initially. And I think the whole GOP field — not the field itself, but the establishment, rather — wishes they could wear it. And I don\u2019t know if they\u2019re envious or jealous. But they just can\u2019t seem to garner the conviction that is necessary to do what\u2019s right to lead the country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So there are three questions there, essentially, or three points?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ll let you sort that out.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the first one on courage. The fact that the Republican Party doesn\u2019t seem to have it. It kind of looks that way. There are two things happening here — and look, I\u2019m sorry to be repetitive here but I\u2019ve been asked. I was gonna repeat some of the stuff I said in the first hour. The Republican Party as we know does not like its base. Jeb Bush promised, claimed he was gonna get the nomination without the support of the base. The way he was gonna do it was with money. He was gonna be the biggest fundraiser.<\/p>\n

He was gonna have more money than anybody else, which was gonna scare of our people out; then all the other conservative entrants were supposed to cancel each other out by dividing up all their support and dividing up all the money. At the end of the process, Jeb would be the last guy standing because he had the donor money. So the donor class was gonna be responsible for nominating our nominee, for selecting our nominee. Now things have not worked out in any way, shape, manner, or form this way.<\/p>\n

What we know is that the Republican Party doesn\u2019t like the Republican base. They don\u2019t like conservatism. But there\u2019s something else that we\u2019ve learned. And again I hate to be redundant here, but if you look at the coalition Trump has put together, it is everything that the Republican Party claims they want, and they don\u2019t want it with Trump in charge of it. They don\u2019t want it with Trump being the guy that attracts it. So it\u2019s more than just anti-conservatism and anti-base. It\u2019s also anti-Trump. Now, why would they not like Trump?<\/p>\n


\nWell, on the surface it\u2019s that, believe me, folks, when we\u2019re talking the establishment, they don\u2019t like Trump not because he not conservative. That doesn\u2019t matter. The fact that he is not conservative in their minds actually would be a plus. Now, they can concoct all the reasons they want for it, but what is apparently obvious to me now is that in addition to opposing conservatism or the Republican base, there\u2019s also this cliquish, elitist club characteristic here that, if you\u2019re not in it — and the only way you can get in it is to be accepted, to be invited. You can\u2019t succeed your way into it. This is important to understand.<\/p>\n

You cannot be an overwhelming success in whatever you do and have that be the reason you get into the establishment elite political club. You have to be a certain type. You have to come from a certain place. You have to be invited. Trump does not qualify on a whole lot of grounds, in a lot of ways. So even though Trump has the largest bloc of voters made up of exactly the kind of outreach the Republican claims it needs to win, they\u2019re rejecting it and don\u2019t want it. Now, they\u2019re characteristic of business involved here, the donor class and their demands.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s some psychology involved in all this, too. But when you boil it all down, it is that the Republican Party. Yeah, they want to win, but only one way. They are content to lose if winning means conservatives dominate the party. They seem content lose if winning means that Donald Trump\u2019s the nominee. The reasons for this would take too long toward the end of the program here to detail. But it\u2019s fascinating, because hanging in the balance is the future of the country. And that seems to have not much impact on the thinking and the decision-making that they\u2019re making, or engaged in.<\/p>\n


\nAnd you and I, we\u2019re out here thinking that winning is the objective, getting back in power is the objective, because of specific things we want to do. We want to stop the direction the country\u2019s going. We want to roll back some of this mindless destructive economic policy and Obamacare policy. We want to reestablish the concept of individual liberty and freedom. None of that seems to be the guiding desire for people in the political establishment.<\/p>\n

Now, I know their desire to stay in power and in office trumps everything. (No pun intended.) But for as much as these people run around claiming they want their committee chairmanships and they don\u2019t want to win and so forth, it\u2019s clear that there are two ways they can win on the Republican side; they\u2019re not interested in either one. Now, what does that tell you? I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a matter of courage or if it\u2019s exclusionary.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Francis in Ontario, Canada. Hi, Francis. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

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

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

CALLER: Long-time listener, second-time caller. The first time I think we spoke, you and I didn\u2019t see eye-to-eye. But I\u2019m hoping we can push Hillary\u2019s “overcharge” button and start again from there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Hillary\u2019s reset button has never worked.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So I don\u2019t even want to try that here.<\/p>\n


\nCALLER: No, of course. Okay, let\u2019s avoid that. Listen, Rush, you couldn\u2019t be more on the mark on this one. The fact that the Republican Party is absolutely poised to once again attempt to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The idea of running away from Donald Trump… I\u2019m not a Donald Trump supporter. To be honest with you, I don\u2019t think Donald Trump would be effective in a general election. But his message is clearly resonating with the American people.<\/p>\n

The idea that the Republican Party, the establishment would want to run away from that message is ludicrous. Donald Trump\u2019s message, whether you like it or not, is resonating. You want the independent votes but you can\u2019t run away from the base. You can\u2019t run away from the Republican vote. Donald Trump was accused by Hillary Clinton of being a propaganda tool for ISIS. This one to me, Rush, maddens me beyond belief. Why doesn\u2019t Donald Trump…? Why doesn\u2019t the Republican Party grab onto this and run with it?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, you haven\u2019t?<\/p>\n

CALLER: The fact that ISIS doesn\u2019t hear Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, that\u2019s nothing. Have you heard…? Jane Mayer\u2019s got a book, and the New York Times picked it up. Are you aware that the father of the Koch brothers built the third largest oil refine for the Nazis?<\/p>\n

CALLER: “Oh, yeah. What a great, quote\/unquote, “recruitment tool.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, but the fact is he didn\u2019t! They\u2019re totally making this up. They\u2019re making it up. Hillary has joined in this fray by referring that the Nazi past or whatever Trump supporters have, so… When you see this kind of stuff. Now, the Koch brothers don\u2019t have a candidate. The Koch brothers are upset that they don\u2019t have any influence anymore. Did you see that? Yeah, this was the most amazing thing. It was an interview in The Politico last week. Charles Koch of the Koch brothers said he was beside himself.<\/p>\n

He said they\u2019ve spent money, they do all these seminars, they have all of these get-togethers, and he\u2019s never had less influence in a presidential race than he has this year, this time around. He doesn\u2019t like Trump because of what Trump said about Muslims or what he thinks Trump said about Muslims. He thinks Trump wants to limit all Muslims coming into the country. I don\u2019t know how that works with freedom. He\u2019s not totally correct in understanding what Trump said about that and why. But that\u2019s the degree to which everything here has been turned upside down, establishment-wise.<\/p>\n

The people, the donors, the fund-raisers, the big money people are all running around scratching their heads, asking themselves, “What\u2019s happened to our power? What has happened to our influence? Why aren\u2019t we factors?” And, believe me, they\u2019re asking this. You can\u2019t understand how frustrated they are that they\u2019ve been unable to stop Trump. That\u2019s got them so bugabooed, it has got \u2019em so flummoxed, they don\u2019t understand it, and they\u2019re frustrated. The consultants, the other candidates, they think that Donald Trump should have been rejected after his opening speech at Trump Tower, his announcement speech.<\/p>\n

They thought he would be disqualified. They laughed. They thought it was a comedy routine. They have been stymied since day one of the Trump campaign, and to this day, I\u2019m here to tell you that many of them still think he\u2019s gonna implode. Many of them still think that he\u2019s not going to finish this race, that he\u2019s not gonna be there in the end. They\u2019re coming at it from a state of denial. But they are beside themselves in their inability to understand what happened to their influence, to their power. I mean, all of this money they\u2019ve given to Jeb, and what\u2019s to show for it?<\/p>\n

<\/a>All the money they\u2019ve given to Kasich and all the money they\u2019ve given to all of them. And here\u2019s a guy who\u2019s not spending any money, by comparison — Donald Trump — running away with it. Folks, I said this…well, a number of times, last week being the most recent. The disconnect. This is really the explanation for all of this. It\u2019s the explanation for Nikki Haley last night<\/a>. The disconnect between the governed and the political class is wider, larger, deeper than I have ever seen it. The lack of commonality, the lack of mutual goals, the lack of the elected political class understanding the frame of mind of a majority of the American people.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never seen people elected and serving in office as out of touch with the pulse of the country in my life. Now, I don\u2019t know about before I was alive. I\u2019m sure there have been other times. Throw the Civil War out. I mean, that\u2019s its own unique circumstance, and you can argue that nothing since has ever been that dire. But throw that out. After we resume states of normalcy here, I have never seen the people elected to serve be so out of touch and so unaware, stymied, surprised by the attitudes and the things that are important to the people in the country. Add to it, when the elected class, the political class, find out what is really important to the people who\u2019ve elected them, they scoff at it and they pooh-pooh it!<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No sooner do I say it than a news story crosses the wire. Right here my formerly nicotine-stained fingers, from TheHill.com: “Upset Republican Donors: Have We Wasted Our Money?<\/a> … GOP front-runner Donald Trump\u2019s relatively cheap campaign — contrasted with the millions of dollars spent on behalf of Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Scott Walker and Rick Perry — has left donors, fundraisers and [Republican] leaders questioning the value of super-PACs…” New York financier Anthony Scaramucci said, “I mean, with the free media, or whatever the term is, when they allow Trump to go on to every TV station in America — if there\u2019s evidence that PACs are so consequential, please explain it to me.”<\/p>\n


\nYou know, these people… Here it is, folks. It\u2019s just more evidence. So what is it they think? It\u2019s what they\u2019ve always believed and what they\u2019ve always believed matters: The money. All that matters is the money, spending the most. Spend the most money. Forget the message. The message doesn\u2019t matter. Spend the money. And you who have the most money and spend the most money, and particularly if you can spend some of that money on negative ads and destroy your opponents, then that\u2019s how you do it.<\/p>\n

What they\u2019re up against that they don\u2019t understand, is it\u2019s the message. It\u2019s the details. It\u2019s the principles. It\u2019s whatever you want to call it. The policies. This Republican campaign is focused on and made up of specific policies and essential messages. And the messages and the policies and the communications skills are working. They are getting to the American people and the voters. The voters are responding to a guy who has spent six figures — 300, 400 grand — versus the super PACs and their multiple millions.<\/p>\n

The money people are scratching their heads, “What?” They don\u2019t understand. They thought Jeb had this in the bag. I mean, two months after Trump had announced and two months after Trump has got this massive lead, the Jeb team says, “Don\u2019t sweat it! We still have it in the bag. We have all the money.” The message didn\u2019t matter; the candidate didn\u2019t matter. What the candidate was saying didn\u2019t matter. What the other candidates were saying didn\u2019t matter. At the end of the day, it was the money that was gonna define who won.<\/p>\n

In the past, that has been true in more ways than not. And then every year the same people who benefit from all that money are the first to run around claiming about all the money in politics. Obama did it last night. Obama has led the league in fundraising in presidential contests, and here he is, “And one thing I\u2019ve gotta do and I\u2019m really disappointed about, is I haven\u2019t been able to get all the filthy money out of politics.” He\u2019s still fundraising! The Clintons, that\u2019s all they have done since they walked out of the White House paupers and poor.<\/p>\n


\nAll they\u2019ve done is fundraise.<\/p>\n

But ignoring the central thing that\u2019s happening in this campaign, this is why the disconnect is just profound. There is a specific message or a series of messages that make up this Republican primary campaign. You might even say to a certain extent it\u2019s true on the Democrat side. But you get Bernie Sanders. What is it about Bernie that is more appealing and attractive to that group of people over there than Hillary is? We know it\u2019s not his looks, and it\u2019s not his money. It\u2019s his message. He\u2019s this far left-wing, radical Looney Toon who happens to be resonating with the Democrat Party base.<\/p>\n

And Hillary is the sphinx who\u2019s just sittings there waiting for the money to be spent, waiting for the money to be donated, biding her time, trying to make as few appearances as she can, not trying to make a connection with voters because she can\u2019t. She doesn\u2019t have the kind of personality to make a connection with voters because the voters understand she thinks that she\u2019s so far above them and much better, she doesn\u2019t deign to actually get down to where they live. In walks Bernie with an ability to connect and so forth. It\u2019s even true on their side.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I haven\u2019t seen it. I haven\u2019t heard it. I\u2019ve got the networks on here, and apparently there\u2019s a video of the capture of the American sailors and soldiers, and apparently one of the videos shows a captured soldier apologizing to Iran — to the captors — saying, “Sorry, it was our fault. We were where we shouldn\u2019t have been,” or what have you. Now, that\u2019s all I know about it. I don\u2019t know if the sailor was under orders to say that from whoever ran the Benghazi operation. There\u2019s simply no way of saying the administration. I don\u2019t know if this is the way the military is being trained now. “If the enemy captures you, you apologize.” I have no idea. But it certainly is right in line with how Obama does business with enemies and foreign countries. He apologizes left and right.<\/p>\n
