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

RUSH: Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey, announced that he\u2019s running for president today. I think that gets us up to 16 announced Republicans. He gave a, eh, fairly average 20-, 25-minute long stem-winder. We have just a couple of sound bites I want to play for you. He was in Livingston, New Jersey, at Livingston High School. He said he traveled around the country and he keeps hearing all these people telling him that Americans are angry. But he said he\u2019s traveled around the country and he hasn\u2019t found anybody angry. He hasn\u2019t found anybody mad. He\u2019s found a lot of anxiety out there, he says, but he hasn\u2019t found anybody that\u2019s angry because Americans don\u2019t get angry — and do you know why Americans don\u2019t get angry? ‘Cause Americans want to compromise. <\/p>\n

Yeah. <\/p>\n

Here we go. First of two sound bites.<\/p>\n

CHRISTIE: (shouting) Both parties… Both parties have failed our country! Both parties have stood in the corner and held their breath and waited to get their own way. Both parties have led us to believe that in America — a country that was built on compromise — that somehow now compromise is a dirty word. If Washington and Adams and Jefferson believed compromise was a dirty word, we\u2019d still be under the crown of England!<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

RUSH: So here we go. It\u2019s the latest push for compromise. The American people are not mad. They\u2019re anxious and they want compromise; they want people working together. How many of you believe liberals and Democrats are failing? Governor Christie said here, “Both parties have failed our country. Both parties have stood in the corner and held their breath, like children, and waited to get their own way.” Do the Democrats strike you as standing in the corner, pouting because they don\u2019t get their own way? Are they really thinking that they have failed? I\u2019m talking about the Democrats, now. When you look at what\u2019s happening in Washington, is it really paralyzed? Is nothing really getting down in Washington? Is that…? How many of you think that? <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t know, folks. I know what Governor Christie is trying to say here and I know the message that he\u2019s trying to impart, but I have to tell you that maybe we should send him some of the Rush Revere books<\/a>. If our ancestors had compromised, we might still be ruled by England. <\/p>\n

Now, what Governor Christie\u2019s talking about is when we sat down after we had not compromised and kicked England\u2019s butt, then we sat down to write the Constitution and other things, that\u2019s when we compromised, that\u2019s when Washington and Jefferson and Madison and Franklin and all the rest of the boys — and they were boys back then — well, men, males. Gee, look at how guarded and protective you have to get. <\/p>\n

Anyway, that\u2019s when he\u2019s talking about the fact that they compromised. But they didn\u2019t compromise. They tried compromise, by the way, with the king. They tried. I mean, the king demanded that the colonists house and feed British soldiers. There were any number. They tried compromising on taxes until they couldn\u2019t take it anymore, so they dumped the tea in the harbor. I mean, the compromise didn\u2019t work, and it led to the Declaration of Independence and then the war for independence. <\/line><\/p>\n

Well, Governor Christie\u2019s talking about when we became a country and started resolving the differences that we had with each other. That\u2019s when we compromised. And you know what one of those compromises was? Dare I go there? Dare I go there? Mr. Snerdley, dare I answer my own question? You know what one of the compromises was? Even before — one of the compromises was with the Southern states, which at the time were run by the Democrat Party. There wasn\u2019t a Republican Party \u2019til Abraham Lincoln came along and said he wanted to end slavery and preserve the union. The Democrats wanted slavery. The Southern states, the Southern colonies demanded that there would be no admonition or abolition of slavery in the Constitution. <\/p>\n

Well, the others realized, if you read any John Adams, you know that the many of the early founders just detested slavery at the time they were putting the Constitution together because they are writing documents based on human liberty and all men created equal, Declaration of Independence, so forth. They knew slavery, the country could not abide, the country could not be what they envisioned it to be. And yet, to get the Southern states to go along with the revolution, they had to compromise. So you could say — dare I answer my own question, Mr. Snerdley. You could say that slavery was a part of the founding of America because of compromise. And I would be right. Of course I\u2019m right. I am always right. <\/p>\n

It was compromise that gave us a nation founded with certain states permitted to keep slaves. Okay. I\u2019m not trying to stir anything up here, folks. I\u2019m just pointing out what I know. I know what Governor Christie\u2019s trying to do, and I know that many Republicans still think that all the people in America don\u2019t want anything but compromise, that\u2019s what they want. They want cooperation, bipartisanship. This has become almost a mantra in the Republican Party, as though these guys sit around, they meditate all the time and compromise, compromise, ohm is their mantra. Let\u2019s play these two sound bites. Play the first one again, play \u2019em both back-to-back in context here. Here\u2019s the first. This is from Governor Christie\u2019s presidential announcement this morning.<\/p>\n

CHRISTIE: (shouting) Both parties… Both parties have failed our country! Both parties have stood in the corner and held their breath and waited to get their own way. Both parties have led us to believe that in America — a country that was built on compromise — that somehow now compromise is a dirty word. If Washington and Adams and Jefferson believed compromise is a dirty word, we\u2019d still be under the crown of England!<\/line><\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh oh. The crowd had a delayed reaction. Not sure what to do. They\u2019re a pro-Christie crowd, not sure they agreed with that, but they knew as a pro-Christie crowd they better erupt. So they thought about it for a couple split seconds. Probably used up the leap second that we\u2019re gonna have. <\/p>\n

By the way, speaking of that, we are adding a leap second. You know why? We\u2019re doing this at 11:59:59. We\u2019re doing it universal time, which would be five p.m. American time, five p.m. Eastern. I didn\u2019t mean to say that Eastern time zone\u2019s American and the rest aren\u2019t, it was a faux pas. Look at this. (laughing) I didn\u2019t mean to insult those of you in the western time zones as not being American. EDT, five p.m. today, they\u2019re gonna add a leap second. Now, the last time this had to happen was I think, I might get the year wrong, but it was not that long ago, 2010, 2012, and when it happened, I think Qantas airways had 50 planes delayed. <\/p>\n

It screwed up, a bunch of websites went down with just adding a second. The reason they have to add the second is because the earth is not rotating on its axis quite as fast. Well, obesity is one of the problems, no question, climate change, global warming, CO2 just waiting the atmosphere now. It\u2019s a burden the earth is having trouble carrying. Oh, speaking of that, we now — (laughing) — you know, I\u2019m not gonna be able to win with those of you that love the pope, but one of the lead advisors going to the pope\u2019s conference on climate change is an Occupy Wall Street founder, who is one of the most radical extreme leftists. I\u2019ve got the details coming up. <\/p>\n

Anyway, Google even went down two or three years ago when this happened, for a little while. It screws everything up. It was a miniature version of what they all thought was gonna happen with Y2K. It\u2019s not gonna become 00.00.00 when they think it is. They have to add another second in there. And what Google is gonna do, rather than wait until the actual moment of truth to do it, they\u2019re gonna has had a couple of split seconds during the course of the day today, when you won\u2019t even notice it, and your computer system won\u2019t notice it. <\/line>But be on the lookout around five p.m. Eastern. That\u2019s when they\u2019re gonna add the split second, coordinated universal time bunch, which is what coordinates every clock on every computer. We\u2019ll see what happens. <\/line><\/p>\n

At any rate, so Governor Christie is saying here that Washington and Adams and Jefferson had believed compromise is a dirty word, we\u2019d still be under the crown of England. No. We would still be under the crown of England if we had compromised with the crown. We wouldn\u2019t have become the United States of America when we did, if we had compromised with the king. And we tried, by the way. We tried compromising and it didn\u2019t work. The king continued to take advantage, abuse, imprison. He was a monarch; he was a dictator. Raised taxes, all this stuff, Boston Tea Party. You know the drill. We tried compromise. It didn\u2019t work. So we had to compromise with the Southern states, which that compromise created a nation which had slave states in it. Slave states that were run by the Democrat Party. Here\u2019s the next Christie sound bite.<\/p>\n

CHRISTIE: When I stand up on a stage like this in front of all of you, there is one thing you will know for sure. I mean what I say, and I say what I mean, and that\u2019s what America needs right now. (cheering) I\u2019ve proven that you can stand up and fight the most powerful special interests this state has to have and stand up and stop them, but at the same time reach across the aisle to our friends in the Democratic Party and say, “If you have a good idea, I\u2019m willing to work with you,” \u2019cause that\u2019s what our country needs.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s painful.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: What just happened with the Obama pan-Pacific trade giveaway thing? What just happened there? (interruption) I mean, didn\u2019t the Republicans compromise almost totally and make that happen? (interruption) The Republicans gave that to Obama. The Republicans did more than compromise; they provided the jet fuel for it. Is that the kind of thing that he\u2019s talking about? I mean, that\u2019s compromise. <\/p>\n

Democrats wanted no part of Obama\u2019s trade deal, but the Republicans, they didn\u2019t compromise with the Democrats in Congress or the House, Senate. They compromised with the president. I guess that\u2019s okay. I guess they\u2019re just… There\u2019s not enough of that going on out there, folks, and if we had more of that going on out there, why, things would be better. Look, I know where this comes from. This is now obvious. This is part of the Northeastern moderate\/liberal Republican handbook. There obviously is one.<\/p>\n

And if that describes you, you have to have as one of your lead comments that you are willing to compromise. You are willing to work with the Democrats. If they\u2019ve got a good idea, you\u2019ll listen to \u2019em. Now, there has to be a reason for this. As silly as it is, there has to be a reason. And I think I have a pretty good bead on what it is. I think that this is the Republicans\u2019 way (it\u2019s a flailing attempt) to disabuse people of the public image Republicans have, which is that they are racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobe, mean-spirited, intractable, uncompromising, domineering, dominated, whatever negative character traits you can come up with. <\/p>\n

The Republicans believe that that is how they are perceived by people that do not vote Republican. So it\u2019s obvious that it\u2019s considered necessary to get votes from people who are not Republican if they\u2019re gonna win, and so this incessant mantra. Christie\u2019s not the only one. I mean, Romney vomited this kind of stuff. Jeb Bush is famous for it. I mean, they\u2019re all out there. The Northeastern Republican Handbook Republicans are all promising they\u2019re gonna compromise. So they are accepting a premise. They\u2019re not mean-spirited. They\u2019re not extremist. They\u2019re not racist. They\u2019re not bigots. They\u2019re not homophobes. <\/line><\/p>\n

They\u2019re none of that. <\/p>\n

But they are accepting the premise that they are because that\u2019s what they think the voters believe, and so they\u2019re trying to counter it with this. And they\u2019ve been trying to do this for 20 years, or 15, ten years, whatever the number of years they\u2019ve been trying it, and I don\u2019t know that it works. I mentioned long ago a prediction that I made or an observation I made back in the nineties, and you might even say it was an accusation. I have tried to inform people that the Democrat Party, the left, don\u2019t even waste time anymore articulating policy differences with us.<\/p>\n

They do not debate us. <\/p>\n

This is patently obvious. <\/p>\n

They don\u2019t debate us on policy ideas. They don\u2019t want to go anywhere near that. They will not win in a sincere, honest, up-and-down debate on policy. What they do instead is rely on the default smear. The default smear that Republicans are, at their core, mean (which is a big one), racist (another big one), sexist, bigoted, and homophobic. This is the Democrat modus operandi. The Democrats do not win by defeating us in policy arena debates. The Democrats win by character assassination that is facilitated by their willing accomplices in the media.<\/p>\n

And here we\u2019re seeing evidence of it again. Governor Christie, first thing he does, he\u2019s tried to disabuse people watching his speech that he\u2019s not what they think he is. And how does he try to disabuse them? By promising he\u2019ll compromise. By promising he will work with the other side, that both parties are failed. That\u2019s not to be interpreted as a criticism of the Democrats. What Governor Christie is hoping people here so that he, too, thinks his party sucks, and in that way trying to build a bridge of commonality of people he wants to vote for them. <\/p>\n

It would be like you telling somebody you\u2019re gonna marry, “Yeah, my parents suck. I know they suck. But don\u2019t worry about it. We\u2019ll fix it after we get married. I know you don\u2019t like my parents, and I don\u2019t like \u2019em, either. I know you don\u2019t like my grandmother, and I don\u2019t like her, either. And I know you don\u2019t like my uncle, and I don\u2019t like him either. I know my family is a bunch of creeps.” As a way of winning approval. But it doesn\u2019t work. It doesn\u2019t work because this “branding,” if you will, whatever you want to call it is really deep.<\/line><\/p>\n

It succeeds, and the Republicans haven\u2019t fought back against any of it. And I don\u2019t think what Governor Christie\u2019s doing is considered fighting back. He\u2019s acknowledging it, tacitly so, as everybody does who says what he\u2019s saying here, and they\u2019re attempting to gain favor with people by a wink and a nod. “Yeah, I know! We got some real wackos on our side.” He doesn\u2019t say that, but when you say that both parties have failed, both parties have stood in the corner, both parties here, both parties have led us to believe in America… Both parties! “But I\u2019m willing to compromise.” <\/p>\n

This whole strategy of the left is played out time and time again, and especially under Obama. Everybody on the Republican side is accused of this. I\u2019m accused of being hyperbolic and all the other things as well. The poisoning of the brand of the Republican Party is the plan; the facts be damned. They do not and will not debate us on policy. They cannot win. So therefore the South is racist. Christians are bigots and homophobes. Republican men are sexists and mean predators and violent. We are bitter clingers.<\/p>\n

We are religious fanatics who are just as dangerous as ISIS, just as dangerous as Al-Qaeda. But liberalism and the Democrats? They\u2019re blameless because they\u2019re all of the wonderful things. They\u2019re compassionate; they\u2019re friendly. They\u2019re not mean, they\u2019re very nice, and they\u2019re able to relate and understand the life you are living and how bad it is, and the Democrats are willing to try to relate to you and help you make it better. We haven\u2019t really gone to war with the left. This is… We have here. Republican Party hasn\u2019t. George W. Bush didn\u2019t defend himself or his party for eight years. The last two Republican candidates for president did not defend themselves or their party this way. <\/p>\n

This premise has been accepted for way too long. And promising to compromise? It\u2019s just… I fear not.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Margate, New Jersey, this Eric. You\u2019re up first today as we head to the phones. And welcome, sir, great to have you with us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, great to talk with you. I like Perry, by the way, but I called to talk about Governor Christie.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I want to take you back. Remember Hurricane Sandy and the governor of New York told President Obama not to come in and it was two weeks before the presidential election with Mitt Romney, and Governor Christie decides to do a photo-op in the city of Brigantine. I called you before and I said, “That\u2019s because he wanted to run for president later on,” and other things in the state of New Jersey here. Oh, with Hurricane Sandy, by the way, I stayed. We weren\u2019t allowed to leave our towns here for over a week, and people weren\u2019t allowed to come in and check on their homes. So I was checking on people\u2019s houses here. I had an Air Force pilot, he got arrested for leaving when he had to go over the bridges to get to the mainland. He had to go in front of a judge. He came back on the island, ran the barricade. <\/p>\n

But remember the Revel casino? The Revel casino had to get finished. And that closed up here, and the state helped finish that, was halfway done, and now three other casinos are closed, and Atlantic County I think, the county I live in, is the biggest foreclosure rate in the whole country right now, and also my town city of Margate\u2019s fighting the state \u2019cause the governor insisted on putting sand dunes along all the beaches here, and we\u2019re spending of thousands dollars \u2019cause we don\u2019t want sand dunes on our beaches. So the governor isn\u2019t all who he makes himself out to be.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You just better hope they never discover sea turtles on your beach or the sand dunes are gonna be the last thing you\u2019re gonna be concerned about. You know, I remember that. It was not just Governor Cuomo that told Obama they didn\u2019t want him to show up. Bloomberg didn\u2019t, either, after Hurricane Sandy, Bloomberg said stay outta here. We don\u2019t need you coming in here with all the security and gumming up the roads and so forth, and Governor Cuomo said the same thing. Governor Christie said come on in, and practically had some man love going on walking on the beach there, arm and arm. A week before the election! <\/p>\n

A week before the election. And your theory that he was doing it \u2019cause he\u2019s gonna run for president. Maybe. It would fit the compromise meme. Governor Christie said, hey, my state had been devastated, and the guy with the money came to look at it and I had to do what I had to do for my state and help my state rebuild. So that\u2019s how Governor Christie explained that. Senator Rubio and his beach house there, did it have any damage?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
