Serious questions.  No, I\u2019ve got my own answers, but if I give you the answers&#8230; When I say what I think about something, there\u2019s nothing left to be said, usually.  So I\u2019m opening these questions up.  Do any of you think that the Republican presidential candidates and\/or the Republican Party itself are being harmed by Donald Trump and his campaign, his behavior, his public persona today? <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a serious question.  It\u2019s not rhetorical.  It\u2019s not loaded.  It\u2019s just a genuine question I want you to ponder.  Many of you probably already have.  Do any of you think&#8230;? I can word it differently: &#8220;How many of you do not think&#8230;?&#8221;  I can word it any way I want.  There\u2019s no trick here.  I\u2019m not trying to lead anybody to any opinion.  I\u2019m trying to extract genuine opinion.  Do any of you think that Republican presidential candidates and\/or the party itself are being harmed &#8212; the brand &#8212; by Donald Trump? <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_107708\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rush-PhonesWeGo.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Here\u2019s the next question:  Are any of you surprised by the utter lack of any public protest, anger, uprising, against the assault on our traditional culture that was affirmed last week by decisions of the US Supreme Court?  If you put it another way:  What is your reaction to the apparent public acceptance of all of these seemingly overnight shifts in our culture and society?  Why is there no objection, anger &#8212; uprising, if you will?  Why does there seem to be practically blanket acceptance for all of this that ten years ago would be unthinkable?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Again, do any of you think that Republican presidential candidates or the party or both are being harmed by what Trump is doing?  What he\u2019s saying, how he\u2019s saying it, where he\u2019s saying it, not backing down.  And the next question&#8230; This is, to me, an even larger question, although they\u2019re both really curiosity points to me.  Are you surprised by the seemingly total lack of anger, opposition, upset against this all-out assault on traditional\/time-honored American culture? <\/p>\n<p>Gay marriage, transgendered rights, whatever it is.  Boy Scouts, bad.  Everything else, good.  It\u2019s been going on for years now, and at every stage, there\u2019s acquiescence.  There isn\u2019t had any uprising.  There isn\u2019t any anger.  There isn\u2019t any protests.  There aren\u2019t. Aside from some GoFundMe campaigns to raise money. I mean, you have a photographer\u2019s store or bakery shop shut down, destroyed by the sewer on Twitter.  And aside from the GoFundMe campaign on Twitter, there\u2019s nothing else. <\/p>\n<p>What is your reaction to the apparent public acceptance of all of this?  Mitch McConnell is on TV, &#8220;Hey, gay marriage is the law of the land! We have to shut up and move on.&#8221;  The left never reacts that way to anything that happens that they disagree with.  They never accept &#8220;the law of the land.&#8221;  If it\u2019s the law of the land, they set about trying to change it or bully people to not living accordingly or what have you.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We\u2019ll start with Silvana in San Diego.  Glad you called.  You\u2019re up first.  It\u2019s good to have you, hi.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_107707\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushLimbaughInstituteDittoheadNat.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER:  Hi, I\u2019ve been listening to your program since 2012 so I\u2019m kind of new.  But I love your program and you have really, really helped me a lot.  Anyway, my answer for the Trump question is &#8212; and I\u2019m an immigrant myself.  I\u2019m a legal immigrant to this country.  He is wonderful.  He is not inflicting any damage to the Republican Party that hasn\u2019t been done so far by the Democrat Party itself, by the media, which I consider to be propaganda ministry.  Goebbels would have been proud of the Democrat Party &#8212;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Wait just a second.  Silvana, you just uttered a profundity here and you just went by it so quickly.  I don\u2019t think you may know how profound what you just said is.  He isn\u2019t inflicting any damage on the Republican Party far less than what has already done by the media and the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes.  And I also add to that group, the leadership of the Republican Party.  I\u2019m extremely disappointed with the leadership from Mr. McConnell and Mr. Boehner.  We are wasting years.  We have wasted years.  They have done nothing for the party, but demoralize.  I\u2019m very demoralized because nothing seems to be working.  And every time I look at the Republicans, they are on the defensive.  You do not win fights by crouching down and always having a defensive posture.  You have to go on the offensive. <\/p>\n<p>And that is what Trump is doing.  He is lifting people up.  He is saying, &#8220;Hey, somebody out there is not afraid to tell it like it is.&#8221;  And, by the way, I actually called the Macy\u2019s yesterday.  I left a message over there for their &#8212; they call it publicity department, I believe.  And I told them, &#8220;First of all, he did not say anything that isn\u2019t factual.  Number two, you have a problem with the man who is using his freedom of speech to tell how he feels and what he thinks, but you don\u2019t have a problem selling products from somebody else who was perhaps in prison for insider trading.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I\u2019ll say, you\u2019re pretty loaded here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I\u2019ve been loading up for years.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Let me ask you one quick question.  You said you\u2019re a legal immigrant.  I would think people like you would be among the most angry of all the illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_107752\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPDemsImmigrationHousePIX_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER:  Yes, because we did everything by the book.  There is a law and we followed the law.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Now we see people just kind of waving and smiling and doing stuff &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  They know they\u2019re gaming the system.  They\u2019re getting away with gaming the system.  Well, look, I\u2019m glad you called.  You\u2019re up first and you carried that flag extremely well.  I\u2019m very proud of you and honored to have you in this audience.  That\u2019s Silvana from San Diego, California.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT <\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the program, I asked the audience a couple questions.  We\u2019re taking phone calls from people.  If you choose to address it, you\u2019re more than welcome to.  First question: Do you think the Republican Party, Republican presidential candidates are being harmed by Donald Trump?  His behavior, his comments, his presidential campaign?  Serious question.  I\u2019m not including my own opinion in that, so don\u2019t infer anything.  I seriously want to know what your thoughts are. <\/p>\n<p>The next question:  Are any of you surprised by what seems to be a total lack of any public protest or anger, and certainly there is no uprising, against what can only be described as a full-fledged assault on traditional American culture?  It\u2019s been going on for years but it codified last week.  It came to a head with the Supreme Court finding a constitutional right to gay marriage, which is now opening the doors to any kind of perversion of the definition of marriage you can concoct.  There doesn\u2019t seem to be any public protest.  There doesn\u2019t seem to be any anger, certainly no uprising against it.  What\u2019s your reaction to that? <\/p>\n<p>And along those lines, a story from TheBlaze.com.  The headline is all I\u2019ll give you now because I\u2019m going to head to the phones.  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/stories\/2015\/07\/01\/the-shocking-proportion-of-americans-who-believe-that-religious-institutions-or-clergy-should-be-forced-to-perform-gay-weddings\/\">&#8220;The Shocking Proportion of Americans Who Believe That &#8216;Religious Institutions or Clergy\u2019 Should Be Forced to Perform Gay Weddings.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t believe it? <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A new survey conducted in the wake of the Supreme Court\u00c2\u2019s legalization of same-sex marriage last Friday found that 19 percent &#8212; or one in five Americans &#8212; believe that &#8216;religious institutions or clergy should be required to perform same-sex marriages.\u2019  More specifically, 26 percent of Americans under the age of 40 believe that churches and clergy should be forced to preside over gay nuptials.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The survey, conducted by the Barna Group, a polling firm that studies religion, also found that 94 percent of evangelicals oppose legalization of same-sex marriage, with only 2 percent expressing support for the measure.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s AJ in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Hey, AJ.  Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  After 23 years, I finally made it through.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, I\u2019m glad you made it.  That\u2019s persistence.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Do you want an answer to question one also, as far as Donald Trump?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Whichever one you want to answer the most.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, as far as Donald Trump, no, he\u2019s not hurting the Republicans.  His speech is a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  All right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  And as far as number two, let\u2019s face it, liberals have infiltrated every crevice of American lifestyle preaching their views.  Particularly in high schools and colleges where the young heads of mush, they don\u2019t want to buck the system and be an outcast.  So many of them just, you know, have embraced either Libertarian or Democratic views.  And as far as conservatives, let\u2019s face it, you know, we are working people.  You know, liberals will pay people to protest.  I can\u2019t take off a day and lose a day\u2019s pay to go to a protest.  But the thing is, they have their propaganda machine, whereas the conservatives, we do not.  We do not have &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_107753\" class=\"alignleft\" align=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/478986354_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Okay.  So let me cut to the chase.  Are you saying that because of this infiltration that there really isn\u2019t any serious opposition to the cultural shifts taking place because they\u2019ve all been corrupted and the people that oppose are so cowed by political correctness anyway that there\u2019s nobody to speak up in opposition because they\u2019re either few in number or they\u2019re afraid?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes.  I mean, most people who agree with what you and I believe are older Americans who, you know, really don\u2019t go out and protest to begin with anyway.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I understand that.  I know in the question that\u2019s always going to be a caveat.  Anyway, I\u2019m up against it on time here, AJ.  Great brevity.  I\u2019m glad you got \u2019em both in here.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I need to elaborate on something.  Let me get to that first.  I haven\u2019t found a way to actually express what I\u2019m talking about.  Everywhere I go, the question I get from Republicans is who I think the nominee is going to be.  Which is okay.  It\u2019s a natural thing to be interested in, and I am too. <\/p>\n<p>But to me, that\u2019s not even 40 percent of what people ought to be interested in.  And I\u2019ve got to find a way to explain to people what I mean by this.  Because I think for most people, it starts and stops with a nominee that can win and how crucially important that is. I\u2019m not denying that.  But that\u2019s all anybody ever asks me.  Who do you think the nominee is going to be?  Who can beat Hillary? You start throwing some names around and you get people\u2019s reaction to it.  And that\u2019s always interesting, fun and sometimes puzzling as well. <\/p>\n<p>But I don\u2019t know.  To me it\u2019s not even half the story who the nominee is going to be.  I mean, I don\u2019t know.  I need to work on this, folks, because I don\u2019t think the problems plaguing us are going to be fixed with an election, certainly not just one election.  And I guess I get the impression that people think all we have to do is elect a Republican and things will be okay then.  We\u2019ll still have Obamacare, but that\u2019s okay, we\u2019ll have a Republican president.  And we\u2019ll still have the perversion of culture going on, but that\u2019s okay, we\u2019ll have a Republican president.  We\u2019ll be in charge.  Everything will be okay as long as we have a Republican in the White House.  Then it makes all that other stuff okay.  And I just don\u2019t see it that way. <\/p>\n<p>But, again, that\u2019s just me. (interruption) Well, that\u2019s the impression I get.  If a Republican presides over it, it\u2019s not as bad as if the Democrats are presiding over it.  It\u2019s not that.  It\u2019s almost as though if we elect a Republican, then all this stuff doesn\u2019t matter anymore.  And that\u2019s just not at all the case.  I mean, who the nominee is in terms of what he\u2019s going to do after he wins is more important than can he.  Can the nominee win, that\u2019s a no-brainer.  You have to have that be the case.  But what happens after that?  And it seems to me that I guess most people\u2019s objective is just beat Hillary, just beat the Democrats, and that alone equals victory.  That\u2019s it.  And that doesn\u2019t say a word to me. <\/p>\n<p>Beating Hillary or whoever the Democrat nominee is, that\u2019s step one!  That\u2019s not mission accomplished.  I guess that\u2019s what it is.  I get the impression that a lot of people think mission accomplished if we beat Hillary or whoever the Democrat nominee is.  That\u2019s not even close to mission accomplished as far as I\u2019m concerned.  It\u2019s just step one. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the questions I asked the audience:  Do any of you think that the Republican presidential candidates or the Republican Party are being hurt hard, irreparably or otherwise by Donald Trump in what he\u2019s doing and how he\u2019s doing it?  And the next question &#8212; our last caller just addressed this, and it was, I thought, a very thoughtful attempt. <\/p>\n<p>The question is:  Are you surprised by the lack of any public anger, protest, uprising, refusal to accept the assault on traditional American culture that has been ongoing for years and was affirmed in one sense by the Supreme Court earlier?  You could put it another way.  What is your reaction to the apparent public acceptance of all of this?  Because it looks to me &#8212; and these are not designed to be leading questions.  I\u2019m not trying to get you to answer in a way I want to hear it.  I\u2019m genuinely interested in what you think.  But when I don\u2019t see any opposition or hear any, I am left to assume that there is, for the most part, public acceptance of this.  And I\u2019m curious to know if that\u2019s how most people see all of this.  &#8220;Eh, it\u2019s no big deal, Rush.  It\u2019s not a big deal.&#8221;  If that\u2019s the reaction most people have, I\u2019m curious to know. <\/p>\n<p>So there\u2019s the two questions.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Barbara in Kent, Ohio.  Barbara, I\u2019m glad you waited.  It\u2019s great to have you here on Open Line Friday on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hi. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Hi. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  How are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Fine and dandy.  Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_107754\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/538508935_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER:  You know, everything I ever learned about politics, I learned from you. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You\u2019re the greatest teacher in the world. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  And I love you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you very much.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I also love Donald Trump, and the reason I\u2019m calling is, I stopped shopping at Macy\u2019s. Bingo, just like that.  Stopped shopping.  I closed my account.  I could call every day and keep closing as far as that goes, just to let them know I\u2019m closing it.  Anyhow, the one question that you had, why you thought the Republicans, nobody was saying anything about anything.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Why is there no anger, protests, uprising against any of this? I mean, it\u2019s the culture being ripped apart.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I don\u2019t know.  But in the first place, who cares about Emmitt Smith and George Pataki? That\u2019s what I would like to know.  They\u2019re not saying anything because I think they\u2019re standing by, trying to watch him get himself in trouble and then get kicked out of this thing or something.  But I think he\u2019s big enough and bold enough to stand his ground.  He\u2019s their biggest competition.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You know, even if &#8212; and there are still a lot of people that says Trump is not a serious candidate, that he has something else up his sleeve here.  Even so, if he\u2019s not a serious candidate, he\u2019s still showing the way, and he is providing the Republicans an opportunity if they\u2019re wise enough to see it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here are the questions.
