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

RUSH: Mike in Des Moines. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Great to have you here. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Thanks. It\u2019s an honor. Okay, hey, yesterday early in the show you were talking about making a point on conservatives who are not intimidated by the media or their handlers either, that sort of thing, and you brought up, of course, Scott Walker. And, you know, in my opinion, he\u2019s not intimidated at all \u2019cause he has a set of core values that is solid. What came to mind when you were talking about it yesterday was… Here\u2019s a powerful analogy I think, and this has happened to me. <\/p>\n

When you first came on the show — and I believe I\u2019m a charter member listener. I think it was the first week. It was August of \u201986, if I remember right, and I first heard you, Rush, on WHO, and I thought, “Who is this guy?” This is exactly what you say. You\u2019ve made this point before. I think right now could be a watershed moment for our Gen Xers or Millennials coming up to have a leader to open their eyes to that, and we know they\u2019re out there. And it\u2019s deep, Rush. <\/line><\/p>\n

I worked in public sector for a while at a local level. We had HUD contracts, that kind of stuff. But when these powerful liberal politicians get in (chuckles), it\u2019s not just a president or governors, even. It\u2019s who they appoint to key administrative positions. They hire who they want, and it goes down the line. You got a worker bees that think the same way. Rush, I tell you, it\u2019s gotta change, and I believe it can change and we need people like Walker who, based on their core values, fight.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me tell you, you mention Walker. I\u2019ve got a fascinating addendum to Walker. You know, Obama reacted to him signing that right-to-work law in Wisconsin, and Walker fired right back, which reminded me of something. I\u2019ve gotta expand a story that I got into not in not enough depth yesterday. I also want to expand on a point you made about when you first started listen to the program. I appreciate the call, Mike. Thanks much.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Welcome back. Great to have you. Mike in Des Moines raised a couple of great points, one about this program, one about me. He started out with his reaction when he first heard this program. And he\u2019s charterer. He said August 1st, \u201986. That would be August 1st of \u201988 is the actual year. But what he said he heard was somebody validating what he already believed, and that is the case, that is exactly why this program took off. There wasn\u2019t a national conservative media voice back in 1988. People forget — and \u201988\u2019s a long time ago. It seems like yesterday to me. All these 26 years seem like yesterday to me, but in truth, it\u2019s a generation ago. <\/p>\n

In 1988 the only cable news network was CNN. Back in 1988 we still had the media monopoly. We had ABC, CBS, and NBC, and we had the newspapers, the New York Times, Washington Post. We had USA Today. We had the LA Times. And they owned it. They literally owned what was media. They owned what was the news, the narrative every day. They also were in charge of what wasn\u2019t the news, what never got reported. They owned what was commented on. They owned the commentary. They owned opinion making. They owned everything. <\/line><\/p>\n

They had a total majority, and that had led to what Spiro Agnew and a whole bunch of people had referred to as a silent majority, people that were unrepresented in the so-called mainstream media. Then here I come, bumbling and stumbling into all this, just trying to have a successful radio show. And people all over the world, when they heard it, glommed on to it. Not because they were mind-numbed robots who were being Svengalied into agreeing with me. No. They were simply reacting to hearing somebody who sounded just like them.<\/p>\n

I validated what people believed. I was like a giant billboard. I wasn\u2019t creating anybody. Well, I might have been persuading some. But I was simply saying things people already felt, already thought, and his comment was that I was unafraid, that I fearlessly just kept saying it. I would love to tell you it was an act of bravery and fearlessness, but it was just I finally had a chance to do a radio show the way I wanted to do it. If you count the three years prior in Sacramento, it was the first time in my entire career I had been given the freedom to be who I really am. And that\u2019s all I was doing. <\/p>\n

I think liberalism\u2019s crazy. I was laughing at it, making fun of it, making jokes about it all over the place, which just wasn\u2019t done. And it didn\u2019t take long, you know, within three months I\u2019d become a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, hatemonger, extremist, you name it. But I kept going. And that\u2019s what he was talking about. And the further point that he was making, he was talking about Millennials, he thinks it\u2019s time to repeat. <\/p>\n

He thinks that there\u2019s a group of young people who are about to encounter this program or other elements of conservative media and react to it the way he did and everybody else did back in 1988, and I hope he\u2019s right about that. There are cycles that take place as generations go by, and I think that would be cool if there were sort of a regeneration of all that happened in \u201988, which would be manifested by a bunch of people who have not listened here because they think I or the program or people like me are “Bleh.”<\/p>\n

Then they stumble into it and find out that everything they\u2019ve heard about it is wrong and ended up liking it. So that\u2019s what he was saying he\u2019s hoping for, and he was building on that by talking about Scott Walker. I had mentioned Scott Walker yesterday as somebody who is fearless, has gone up against the left, has beaten \u2019em three elections in a row while being targeted for destruction, while his wife and kids were targeted for destruction. And he\u2019s done it again. The guy is fearless. <\/p>\n

And I\u2019ll tell you somebody else that\u2019s fearless. Ted Cruz. I never mean to leave Ted Cruz out of this. I haven\u2019t endorsed anybody. I\u2019m nowhere near that, and I\u2019m not picking anybody here. Walker is just the latest arrival and so he\u2019s garnering a lot of attention. But Ted Cruz is fearless. Marco Rubio can be fearless, and so can Mike Lee now and then. I\u2019ll tell you who else is this Tom Cotton<\/a> guy, this new Senator from Arkansas. <\/line><\/p>\n

This guy is willing to tell this administration and the UN and the Iranian mullahs whatever they need to hear. He doesn\u2019t care what people say. He\u2019s gonna tell \u2019em the truth. And this is going to be infectious. People are gonna respond to this leadership once they see it and become exposed to it. They\u2019re demanding it, in fact, and they haven\u2019t seen it from the existing Republican leadership. And whenever they do see it they react to it favorably and positively. <\/p>\n

Now, the latest Scott Walker story. Let me preface it this way. You know, I played in the Ernie Els for Autism <\/a>charity golf tournament on Monday. I\u2019ve played in every one of them. This was the sixth or seventh, and they\u2019re always the second Monday in March. And every year I run into a host of people, as you would expect, and they\u2019re all friendly, they are all us. And I\u2019m not talking about the golfers, most of them are, too, but I\u2019m just talking about the gallery, people that show up, the people that work at the clubs where the tournaments are held. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t run into problems, is the point. If there are, they stay in the background, they don\u2019t say anything. Everybody is supportive. They are big fans and all that. It\u2019s a lot of fun. And invariably they all ask me every year, it\u2019s predictable, cigar dinner, the same thing, wherever I go, at this point in every election cycle, “Okay, Rush, who do you like for the Republican nomination? Who\u2019s it gonna be, who\u2019s it gonna be, who do you think it\u2019s gonna be?” I alternately get frustrated with the question \u2019cause I think this is really about much more than just who the nominee is gonna be. That\u2019s important, don\u2019t misunderstand.<\/p>\n

So when I tell \u2019em this year who I like, and I mentioned Scott Walker, it\u2019s an interesting case study because, if I\u2019m being honest, most people don\u2019t know. They\u2019ve heard the name. They might know that he is governor of a state. They might know he\u2019s a governor of Wisconsin. But they don\u2019t know what he\u2019s done. And part of that\u2019s understandable. I mean, here we are in Florida, he\u2019s in Wisconsin. What he\u2019s done hasn\u2019t made consistent national news. His campaigns, these recall elections, have made national news, but not of the kind that penetrate people\u2019s memory. <\/p>\n

And I think that\u2019s a problem. I have always thought — and I know the Republican Party can\u2019t choose either when it comes to candidates seeking the presidency, but the frustrating thing for Scott Walker is that — you\u2019ve heard this. I\u2019m gonna be redundant here which I\u2019m not excited about, but he\u2019s shown the way. Everybody who has called me over the course of the past six years to complain about what\u2019s happening with Obama the Democrats, everybody who has called me and said, “Why don\u2019t the Republicans do X?” My answer has always been, “There is a guy doing exactly what you want. He\u2019s doing it exactly the way you want and kicking butt, and he\u2019s beating them. His name is Scott Walker.” <\/line><\/p>\n

And the fact that this isn\u2019t known is indicative of a marketing and branding problem that the party has. We all know what we\u2019re up against, and we all know who\u2019s beating us. We all know why, and we all think we know what needs to be done to reverse it, and there\u2019s a guy that\u2019s doing it and has been doing it and has been showing how to do it and has been exhibiting leadership characteristics that everybody seems to be wanting and demanding, and they don\u2019t know. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m not talking about uninformed dolts that are asking me these questions. I\u2019m talking about people that are prepared to commit big money to people. They don\u2019t know. They all know who Mitt Romney is, and they all know who Jeb Bush is, and they know who Ted Cruz is. They don\u2019t know Scott Walker yet. Which may be okay, because he\u2019s leading now, and this is a little bit early to be leading. The front-runner status this early offers you really only one place to go. But as I tell his story, their eyes widen and they get all enthusiastic, “I\u2019m gonna check that out.”<\/p>\n

I said, “Good, you do that.” <\/p>\n

“So you\u2019re gonna vote for him?”<\/p>\n

“No, I\u2019m not telling you that. I\u2019m not gonna go on record picking anybody yet. That\u2019s not the point.” <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the latest news, though, that befits the message I\u2019m trying to convey here. This is from Investors Business Daily, now called Investors.com. “Scott Walker Punches Back Twice As Hard At Obama<\/a> — If Republicans want to know how to respond to President Obama\u2019s barbs and attacks, they should pay close attention to what Gov. Scott Walker said after Obama smacked him for signing a right-to-work bill. Obama, who believes that he should comment on anything and everything under the sun, issued a written statement condemning the law.<\/line><\/p>\n

‘”I\u2019m deeply disappointed,\u2019 he said, ‘that a new anti-worker law in Wisconsin will weaken, rather than strengthen, workers in the new economy.\u2019 Obama then claimed that Walker\u2019s action was part of an ‘inexcusable assault on unions, led by powerful interests and their allies in government.\u2019 … But what\u2019s really interesting is how Walker responded to Obama\u2019s tantrum. Rather than meekly taking Obama\u2019s blows, as most Republicans seem wont to do, Walker punched back — hard.<\/p>\n

‘”On the heels of vetoing Keystone pipeline legislation, which would have paved the way to create thousands of quality, middle-class jobs, the president should be looking to states, like Wisconsin, as an example for how to grow our economy,\u2019 Walker told National Review Online. ‘Despite a stagnant national economy and a lack of leadership in Washington, since we took office, Wisconsin\u2019s unemployment rate is down to 5%, and more than 100,000 jobs and 30,000 businesses have been created.\u2019<\/p>\n

“Bam! In just two sentences, Walker shoved Obama\u2019s phony concern for workers back at him and pointed out that Wisconsin is growing its economy despite the flat recovery Obama\u2019s policies have produced nationwide.”<\/p>\n

Now, normally when Obama goes after a Republican, the result is silence. The Republicans have this screwy belief — and by that I mean the leadership and the consultants and the donors, they have this screwy belief that “If there\u2019s any criticism of Obama, it will undermine our effort in gaining the support of independents and the Reagan Democrats.” So they\u2019ve got themselves talked into, “We can\u2019t be critical of Obama.” <\/line><\/p>\n

Scott Walker has undermined the liberal agenda in Wisconsin the entire time he\u2019s been governor. He has implemented his agenda while thwarting theirs. And as a result of implementing his agenda, he has cut taxes, he\u2019s creating a budget surplus, he\u2019s created 100,000 new jobs, 30,000 new businesses. Is that not what this country needs, not just in one state, but all over the place? <\/p>\n

He\u2019s doing it with Reaganomics. He\u2019s doing it with supply-side, whatever you want to call it. He is limiting, he\u2019s downsizing the command-and-control structure of liberalism. This is a blue state we\u2019re talking about where he\u2019s done this, and he\u2019s done this in the midst of Sarah Palin type treatment. He\u2019s gotten Sarah Palin type treatment and more. He\u2019s withstood every attack. He\u2019s done it without any crying, without any whining, without any moaning, without any complaining whatsoever. <\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t even listen to it. He just ignores it and goes about the business of implementing his agenda on the basis that\u2019s what he was elected to do. He won the election. He has analyzed he won the election because he spelled out his agenda. It was supported, he\u2019s got the mandate to implement it. He does it. Exactly what everybody seems to think is necessary to reverse course nationwide. So that\u2019s what I tell people when they ask me. And I shouldn\u2019t be, but I\u2019m openly shocked to their faces that they don\u2019t know any of it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
