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

RUSH: In the Trump news which is coming up shortly where he\u2019s shown to be surging now in early primary states, there is some polling data that has shocked the Drive-Bys and it has shocked the Republican establishment. In fact, it\u2019s shocked the Republican establishment even more than it shocked the Drive-Bys. In fact, the Republican establishment is about to go insane by this. Trump was supposed to have been gone or on the way out by now. He was supposed to have been exposed as a phony, as a pretender, as somebody unserious.<\/p>\n

And Jeb and the establishment candidates were by this time supposed to have been showing increases in the polling data, growing, massing support. Isn\u2019t happening. And in this latest polling data, ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump is doing even better with respondents in the polls on the economy than he is on immigration. I\u2019ll have the numbers for you in due course, but what it really means is that the people in the polls are suggesting that Trump is far better than anybody on the Republican side to deal with the economy.<\/line><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not even close, and the numbers that Trump scores on best suited to deal with the economy dwarf his numbers on best suited to deal with immigration. And so a lot of Drive-Bys and a lot of Republican establishment people are really scratching their heads today. They\u2019re depressed; they\u2019re getting angry. Their frustration is mounting, because none of this computes. None of this makes any sense. In the first place, remember what I told you yesterday.<\/p>\n

All kinds of establishment people, Republicans inside Washington\u2019s Beltway (and including in our media) really, really do believe that it is a negative to fight back, to oppose Obama, to even criticize Obama, to try to stand in the way of Obama legislative successes and initiatives. Because they believe to stand in opposition or to criticize will anger the independents and forever ruin presidential prospects in 2016. I\u2019m beyond my ability to express my incredulity over this. But they really, really, really still believe this.<\/p>\n

So over here is Trump, who does what?<\/p>\n

He does nothing but criticize them, and he does it in politically incorrect ways, and he is soaring, and still the establishment does not learn. Now, the subject matter: The economy and immigration, illegal immigration. The two issues, I would like to assist those in the Republican establishment who are confused in trying to understand something that makes no sense to them. The two issues are inexorably linked. It must be really hard… And I mean this. And I\u2019m not trying to be flippant or cynical or funny.<\/p>\n

It must be really hard for people who live and work in Washington and have for a while to put themselves in the shoes of people in this country, in flyover country or wherever. I don\u2019t think they still have a grasp of the fear of the future people have. Even people who are employed fear losing their jobs. People who have money, fear losing it. There is fear, there is unsettledness, and it\u2019s all because of what\u2019s happening in Washington. And the economy and immigration are linked in the minds of people. That\u2019s why Trump is scoring so high on both of them. But the lack of ability inside the Beltway to understand this is really shocking to me.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Trump polling data is from CNN, just so you know. You remember, ladies and gentlemen, last week and the week before me telling you how the Drive-Bys — Politico, ABC News — all reported that Trump was peaking, that Trump had peaked? They had talked with Republican establishment types, and they agreed that Trump had peaked. He had leveled off; he wasn\u2019t gaining any ground. This when Ben Carson and Fiorina were edging closer to Trump.<\/p>\n

Trump wasn\u2019t losing any ground, but he had stopped gaining ground, and they were all applauding. “It\u2019s over! It\u2019s over! Trump has peaked and that\u2019s it. There\u2019s nowhere else for Trump to go,” they thought. Their original theory for Trump was that his name recognition is already 100%, so everybody that knows anything about Trump already has an opinion on him. And if they hate him, they hate him. They can\u2019t change that. If they love him, they love him, and that isn\u2019t gonna change.<\/p>\n

The theory was the other candidates who don\u2019t have anywhere near 100%name recognition have only one way to go, and that\u2019s growth, and that\u2019s up. And this is what they told themselves when seeking to make themselves believe that Trump was finished or soon would be. And no matter what they tell themselves, no matter what theory they evolve or ways to, they\u2019re wrong. They continue to be wrong.<\/p>\n

In the latest CNN poll, Trump leads by 16 points in Nevada, and by 18 points in South Carolina. Trump is at 38% in Nevada, Ben Carson second with 22%. In South Carolina, Trump doubles the support Ben Carson has, 36% to 18%. No other candidate comes close to those top two, in either state, Nevada or South Carolina. The third place candidate in each case has less than 10%. And his approval on is best to handle numbers on the economy are through the roof.<\/line><\/p>\n

They\u2019re even higher than the numbers he has on illegal immigration, and illegal immigration is the reason that he\u2019s at the top. Illegal immigration is the issue that dominates all others, and it is linked to the economy in the minds of the American people. Now, before giving you down-and-dirty cross tab details here this poll (because they\u2019re fascinating), I want to try to explain this again because I still remain totally incredulous at the stubbornness — and if it isn\u2019t stubbornness, it\u2019s blindness — that the Republican establishment has not just about Trump, but about the people in this country.<\/p>\n

How can you not know, if you are in politics and your business is getting elected, and to get elected you must appeal to people, people who vote for you? I know. I know. The Republicans and the Democrats do. They\u2019re totally loyal to the donors. I get that. But the donors don\u2019t vote. You still have to appeal to people. You have to at least be able to make the case that you understand them. You have to be able to go out and campaign on the basis that you get it, that you understand. But they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t understand the public attitude on immigration. They denigrate the public attitude on it. They don\u2019t understand the public attitude on the economy. They don\u2019t think it\u2019s particularly bad. I mean, it\u2019s bad, but it\u2019s not all that bad in their view. And look where they live. Where they live, the economy\u2019s humming along. The unemployment rate\u2019s at 3%. Everybody\u2019s doing wonderfully well. This is what puzzles me, this inability to understand what\u2019s going on all over the country, outside of the place that you live.<\/p>\n

The thing that — and I think this is true not just of Republicans; I think it\u2019s true of everybody in the Beltway. And I\u2019m including in this the media and many of the think tanks and everybody that\u2019s just been absorbed in that culture. They think, for example, on illegal immigration, what\u2019s driving it is hatred and racism and bigotry and anger. They haven\u2019t the slightest idea that what\u2019s driving it\u2019s fear. People are scared. People are worried about the future of this country because they know things are not right.<\/p>\n

People who are working and are doing okay, worry they\u2019re gonna get fired. They see layoffs happening all over the country. They see companies downsizing to part time and removing health care benefits. They see all this. People see this. They worry about it happening to them, if it hasn\u2019t happened already. Then they turn on TV and all they hear is politicians talking about more giveaways to the illegals and more giveaways to people not working. People who have savings worry that it\u2019s gonna vanish or it\u2019s gonna be made worthless.<\/p>\n

There is a genuine fear out there, and it\u2019s a legitimate fear because things are not right in this country. Barack Obama is not a president who believes in this country. He does not speak positively about it, does not talk about growth and expansion. It\u2019s the exact opposite, in fact. We\u2019re told, “Well, those good times in the past? We really didn\u2019t deserve those. We were living on borrowed time and borrowed credit cards. Let\u2019s not pay the bill now. We\u2019ve gotta manage the decline.”<\/p>\n

People don\u2019t want that. The United States of America, we don\u2019t manage the decline. We stop the decline and we start growing. You plug Trump into all this and Trump\u2019s success makes perfect sense when you plug him into these circumstances that people inside the Beltway don\u2019t see. The Republican establishment is still… I\u2019m at a loss. They are still obsessed with, “Oh, my God, we can\u2019t get blamed for government shutdown! Oh, jeez, no. We can\u2019t criticize Obama! No, no. We can\u2019t do the nuclear option!<\/p>\n

“No, no. We can\u2019t do budget reconciliation. No, no, we can\u2019t. No, we can\u2019t stop the Iranian deal. No, no, we can\u2019t, because the independents and the moderates, we\u2019ll lose \u2019em!” It\u2019s really the political thought that\u2019s governing them. To criticize Obama and the Democrats — to stop Obama, to oppose Obama — is to engender and risk the Republicans winning the presidency in 2016. Do not doubt me. This is what\u2019s driving them. And so they think… They look at Trump and they think Trump is guaranteeing a Democrat victory \u2019cause Trump\u2019s doing everything they think shouldn\u2019t be done.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s out criticizing Democrats. He\u2019s speaking positively about America. He\u2019s opposing everything that\u2019s happening right now. He wants to fix it overnight and be done with it and move on and “Make America Great Again.” And inside the Beltway, they\u2019re scared to death over that kind of talk. Imagine that. How disconnected must you be to think that that kind of talk is going to lose you an election. The thinking that the Republican establishment\u2019s engaging in now, “We can\u2019t criticize Obama! We can\u2019t oppose Obama.<\/p>\n

“We can\u2019t come up with legislation that he won\u2019t be sign. We can\u2019t do any of that, because we\u2019ll lose the White House 2016.” Well, okay, let\u2019s say you win the White House in 2016. Does that also mean you can\u2019t advance your agenda after you win \u2019cause that\u2019s gonna anger the independents? Even after you\u2019ve won, are you gonna be defensive about who you are and what you believe in so as not to tick people off? This is incomprehensible to me. Meanwhile, out in the rest of the country where people know things are not right, it just doesn\u2019t make sense that an organization like Planned Parenthood can chop up fetuses and sell the body parts and nobody does anything to stop it.<\/line><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not right. It just isn\u2019t right that 340 cities are sanctuary cities and illegal aliens can come here from anywhere in the world and have safe haven and be exempt from American law. That\u2019s not right. That should not be happening. There\u2019s no way that should happen. That the Democrat Party and the Republican establishment together are expanding welfare and food stamp benefits for illegal aliens and not closing the border and welcoming even more? It doesn\u2019t make sense. It doesn\u2019t compute.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not right, and so people, even if they\u2019re not able to explain it in an A, B, C, D way, they get it, they understand this isn\u2019t right. Something\u2019s out of kilter, and all these institutions, traditions, all of these things that used to be reliable as backstops, reliable as uncorrupted, they all seem to be falling one after another. This creates a fear and a worry over a lack of confidence about the future of this country, and there\u2019s no confidence in current leadership. We have a president who will not even properly identify terrorists as who they are and what they\u2019re doing and doesn\u2019t seem to be interested in stopping them.<\/p>\n

The same president seems totally focused on taking guns away from the law-abiding in this country. The same president and his party seems to believe that the problems in the world are caused by people he calls bitter clingers. In this kind of climate people are terrified in some sectors, scared in others, worried in others. So you throw Donald Trump into all this, and it makes perfect sense that he would be scoring as well as he is and doing as well as he is. And it\u2019s not just \u2019cause he\u2019s an outsider. All of this is rooted in substance.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all rooted in substance, and this is another thing that they don\u2019t get inside the Beltway. The elites, the ruling class, the establishment, whatever you wish to call \u2019em, they\u2019re chalking this stuff up to show biz, entertainment, reality TV, what have you. They are in utter denial about what\u2019s happening and why it\u2019s happening. In Nevada, in this CNN poll, illegal immigration ranks third in this poll, behind the economy and terrorism in voters\u2019 concerns. Both of these states are important early states, by the way. Nevada, South Carolina, they\u2019re big in the early-on process. In South Carolina, immigration is in fifth place in terms much voter concerns, behind the economy, foreign policy, terrorism, health care, then immigration.<\/p>\n

\"large\"But you see, I believe that all these things are inexorably linked, whether immigration\u2019s one, three, or still in the top five, it\u2019s all part of the mix of things that just aren\u2019t right. It just doesn\u2019t make sense the way things are happening and the way people are doing things in this country right now. And that explains why people like Trump and Carson are circling the top of the tier.<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, yeah, here\u2019s the number. Overall, 67% think Trump is best able to handle the economy. Closest is Carly Fiorina at seven. I\u2019m not kidding you. Sixty-seven percent, this the CNN poll October 3rd through the 10th, 67% think Trump best suited to deal with the economy. Next, Fiorina, 7%. And it goes down from there. Bush 6, Carson 6, Rubio 4, Cruz 2, Paul 3. In South Carolina, 59% think Trump is best suited to deal with the economy. Closest to him, Jeb, at 7%. And as I mentioned in Nevada when Republicans are asked what matters most to them, number one, the economy, 39%. Terrorism number two at 22%, illegal immigration third, 14%.<\/p>\n

But look at, all these are linked. Illegal immigration is a huge factor in the economy, and terrorism is part of illegal immigration in terms of people\u2019s fears. These things, in my mind, they\u2019re really difficult to separate. South Carolina, as I mentioned, the economy, most important, 41%. Foreign policy next, 16%. Terrorism, 16%. Health care, 9%. Illegal immigration, 8%. South Carolina. So the establishment, their heads are spinning. “What, the economy, you\u2019re telling us that Trump is kicking everybody\u2019s rear end on the economy, too?” This is the last thing that they thought would be the case.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The internal polling data on the economy finds that Trump is just killing everybody: 67% among Republican voters say he\u2019s best equipped to deal with the economy. You know, there\u2019s another factor in this that I think the Republican establishment… I ought not just single them out. The Democrats are part of this mix too. The Washington establishment is actually made up of both parties, but we\u2019re talking about Republicans; that\u2019s why I specify. But there\u2019s something else that\u2019s driving the Trump candidacy or Trump success.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if they\u2019re in denial about this at the RNC and within the party, or if they\u2019re just stubbornly saying, “We don\u2019t care,” but the fact that Trump isn\u2019t owned? The Chamber of Commerce can\u2019t tell him what to do. Not a single donor can tell him what to do. Republican voters know full well that it makes no sense that the Republican Party is for illegal immigration. It makes no sense at all, until they hear that that\u2019s what Republican donors want it, and then they hear that Republican donors want that so they can have cheap labor.<\/line><\/p>\n

What does the Republican establishment expect to happen? They think Republican voters are just gonna embrace candidates who seem to be running to implement the agenda of donors who have interests that are in direct contradiction to that of the people? I mean, this is not hard to understand. They\u2019re making it look like it\u2019s unreal. It\u2019s not serious. Trump will burn out. He\u2019s not gonna really stay in it for the get go. We\u2019re the professionals! At the end of the day when it comes time to vote, people are gonna pull that lever for a seasoned political professional.<\/p>\n

All the evidence so far is that the seasoned political professional is the least desired candidate in this cycle on the Republican side. But my point is, in addition to everything else that Trump is doing and saying, the fact that he is not beholden to anybody, that there\u2019s no cronyism going on with Trump — I mean, none that anybody knows, anyway. The Chamber of Commerce is not for him. Big donors that demand this or that are not for him, and in that sense he comes across as independent.<\/p>\n

But I was gonna say in addition to the economic numbers and the immigration numbers, in Nevada and South Carolina Trump enjoys 36% and 38% support, just in the horse race section of the poll in these two states. And they\u2019re important states, and they\u2019re early, and Nevada particularly is seen as a big Democrat state \u2019cause in many ways it\u2019s a union capital. And it\u2019s rocking the boat in any number of ways.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Cuen in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi there. Just so, so thrilled to be able to speak with you.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I am a registered nurse and a mother living in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and the point that I wanted to make or the comment that I wanted to make today is directly related to some of the points you just made regarding the disparity between the political class and the working class. And I think that\u2019s something that needs to be recognized, is that our country at the time it was founded and our Constitution was created as a government for the people, by the people, and that\u2019s because at that time those people were the people, and they weren\u2019t far removed from what it was like to live in their shoes. But our —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ah, ah, ah, wait, wait, wait, wait. That\u2019s not entirely true. It\u2019s what makes them even more remarkable. They were the elites of their day, intellectually, and a lot of them were very wealthy. That\u2019s what makes it remarkable what they did, even more so. They were an elite group, but they were of and by and for the people nevertheless. They did not think themselves better and that\u2019s your point.<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: Exactly. Exactly. Right. And so my point is that where we sit now, there are so many people sitting in our political establishment who maybe have never even experienced what it\u2019s like to be working paycheck to paycheck or to choose which bill this month you can\u2019t afford to pay, or those kinds of things that the every day American voters experience, and this discrepancy that exists between what the people are actually experiencing and what the political imagines that they\u2019re experiencing or perceives that they\u2019re experiencing is very evident. And I think that that includes the Republican establishment as well. And then we have the factor that we know, as you\u2019ve said many, many times, that we have a very powerful media that is powerfully influential of what the people believe in that they can even convince a group of people who are living in a current situation that the situation isn\u2019t as it is. And they\u2019re so very powerful to convince people of what to believe and what to feel and how things are going and what other people are feeling. And that really is influential in how it propagates, how the —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, well, you want me to tell you what\u2019s remarkable about that? That\u2019s exactly right. And those same people have been trying to convince people, the media, they\u2019re trying to convince people that Trump ought not be supported, ought to go, and it\u2019s not working. They\u2019re not listening to the media. They\u2019re supporting Trump anyway. And that\u2019s an interesting point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
