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

RUSH: I made mention yesterday that Rand Paul <\/a>has successfully turned the tables on abortion. I made a point of saying that he\u2019s the first Republican to come along and actually successfully turn the tables on the Democrats and put them on the defensive and put \u2019em in a position where they really can\u2019t explain their position, they have no defense for it. Immediately I get hit with e-mails thinking I\u2019m endorsing Rand Paul. I\u2019m not. “He wasn\u2019t the first. My guy did it way back –” I\u2019m not endorsing anybody here, yet.<\/p>\n

Folks, when I point out that Ted Cruz does something great, it doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m endorsing him. Ditto Scott Walker. Ditto Rand Paul. I\u2019m just telling you what\u2019s going on, just my perception of things. It\u2019s like yesterday with Rubio, when Rubio predicted back in 2013 that if the Gang of Eight bill failed, that he couldn\u2019t see a new Republican in 2016 reversing Obama\u2019s executive amnesty. <\/p>\n

Now, I hadn\u2019t seen that prediction. Rubio made it, and I hadn\u2019t seen anybody else make it. It was easy to predict that Obama was gonna do executive amnesty. But it was just assumed that if he did, that the next Republican president would reverse it. But if Obama does it in numbers of six million, 10 million, 15 million, it may not be so easy for the next president to just dramatically cancel that and deport those people, which is what Rubio was saying. <\/p>\n

So I have people saying, “So you\u2019re endorsing Rubio?” No, no, no, I\u2019m not endorsing anybody yet, as you know. Anyway, my observation about Rand Paul ended up being talked about last night on Fox. Megyn Kelly had Dana Perino, who, by the way, what happened to her? She\u2019s got a new book out, and she sent me a copy of the book. Yeah, go get it real quick, yeah. You know, it\u2019s funny, she sends me the book, and she signed it, she autographed it. Brian\u2019s bringing the book now? Oh, you put it on the bookshelf there? I\u2019m glad you know where it is on that bookshelf \u2019cause there\u2019s a lot of them. Dana Perino. There it is. <\/p>\n

The title of the book: “And the Good News Is… Lessons and Advice from the Bright Side.”<\/a> There she is. And the autograph is, “Rush, with great admiration, Dana Perino.” And then she had a sticky, one of those yellow Post-It notes stuck in a page toward the rear of the book. She said, “I think you\u2019ll enjoy this story.” And what it was was something she admitted to Sean Hannity. It\u2019s in the chapter about dealing with the media. <\/line><\/p>\n

She was Bush\u2019s press secretary after Tony Snow. She was the Josh Earnest the day for a time. And Hannity was asking her, “How do you put up with these people? They come in that pressroom, and you know they hate you. You know all they want to do is destroy your president. How do you deal with it?” And what she admits is that behind the podium she\u2019s flipping \u2019em all the bird. She didn\u2019t let them ever see it. But with each question she\u2019s flipping \u2019em the bird under the podium. He-he-he-he-he. <\/p>\n

In the book it\u2019s sort of an apology. She said (paraphrasing), “I know you people in the press might be mad at me when you read this, but I\u2019m sorry, it\u2019s how I had to deal with it.” She\u2019s not really apologizing to \u2019em, but she says she hopes that they understand. It\u2019s her way of writing, “Yeah, these questions frustrated me. Yeah, I knew what the media was trying to do to Bush. Yeah, but I had to behave in a certain way so I\u2019m flipping \u2019em off where they can\u2019t see it beneath the podium.” <\/p>\n

Anyway, she\u2019s on Megyn Kelly last night, they\u2019re talking about what I said about Rand Paul, and this is how Megyn Kelly began the whole thing.<\/p>\n

KELLY: Last night I spoke with DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz about her fight with Senator Rand Paul and how that has produced what Rush Limbaugh today called a victory for Republicans unlike any he has ever seen.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: Rand Paul has done something that no other Republican has done. He has turned the abortion issue around on the Democrats.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Megyn Kelly then turned to Dana Perino and asked her opinion on this.<\/line><\/p>\n

KELLY: You know, Rush was saying, and I heard you saying earlier on The Five, that that was a significant moment. Why?<\/p>\n

PERINO: It\u2019s a change. So what Rand Paul basically did is say, “I\u2019m going to take your typical question for a Republican that you never ask the Democrats.” What he was saying is, “Why doesn\u2019t anyone ever ask the Democrats where they stand on late-term abortion in particular?” And on that question, I think Debbie Wasserman Schultz\u2019s answers to you were very telling.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. And Megyn Kelly then replied.<\/p>\n

KELLY: I was confused as to why she wouldn\u2019t just — I mean, third trimester —<\/p>\n

PERINO: They will cede no ground.<\/p>\n

KELLY: Why not? That\u2019s an easy thing. Even if you are pro-choice, 80 plus percent of the American people say, “Not in the third trimester, because that\u2019s a baby. That is a baby.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me answer this, then. It\u2019s not a baby until the Democrat woman decides it\u2019s a baby. There is no 80%, there is no third trimester. Abortion is valid whenever the woman wants. That\u2019s Debbie Wasserman Schultz\u2019s view. Now, one thing they\u2019re right about on this show. Just like public opinion has really shifted on this whole notion of health care being a right and the whole idea of Obamacare never has been a majority, abortion in this country is dramatically shifting. It has always been, despite what people would tell you, abortion has always been a pretty much 50-50 issue. There have been moments where it\u2019s been 60-40, but it has never been what the left would like you to believe 100 to zero or 80 to 20 in favor of pro-choice. It\u2019s never been. <\/p>\n

And now, particularly among Millennials, the whole idea of abortion any time, anywhere, is losing ground rapidly. Or that\u2019s what the mention here of this 80% that Megyn Kelly mentioned. Even if you\u2019re pro-choice, 80 plus percent of the American people say no abortion third trimester because that\u2019s a baby, that\u2019s a baby. People have decided that in the third trimester, life has begun. I\u2019m not here to debate whether they\u2019re right and wrong. Just telling you that 80% of the American people think so. That\u2019s a shift. This puts the Democrats in a very small minority, but as I said earlier, it\u2019s not gonna change their attitude. Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz is never gonna concede the point, and she didn\u2019t. And Megyn and Perino here are discussing, I mean, for crying out loud, 80%. <\/line><\/p>\n

No, no, no. Abortion is the sacrament of liberalism, and, as such, it is sacred. It may sound sick, but it is sacred, and no matter, it is a dividing line issue. There will never, ever, ever, as far as radicals like Debbie Schultz or anybody else running that party, never, ever will there be any official compromise. If there were, that lunatic fringe Democrat base would turn their attentions on the traitors in the Democrat Party. <\/p>\n

This is perhaps the most important, defining issue. And isn\u2019t it curious, it\u2019s a social issue. Perhaps the most defining, the most important, the most crucial, you must agree with this or you\u2019re not a real Democrat position, is there is no baby at any time until the woman decides to give birth. No such thing as a third trimester baby. The abortion remains the sacrament, and any time it happens is fine and dandy, \u2019cause they fear if they give ground on this, that other things are going to begin to crumble that make up the issue coalition of the Democrat Party. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
