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

RUSH: We go to… let\u2019s see. This is Ted in Grand Haven, Michigan. Hello, Ted. I\u2019m glad you called. It\u2019s your turn. Make it count.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I have to admit I\u2019m kind of mad. You started your program talking about the polls. You were citing polls, citing public opinion, citing dislike about Obama. Yet even after four years of having Obama, there were five million less Republicans who voted in 2012.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Four million, but who\u2019s counting, yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What\u2019s that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Four million.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Whatever you\u2019re trying, Rush, is not working. You keep giving us hope, and we get our clocks cleaned. Five million less Republicans voted! We\u2019re losing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It was four million. Not five.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, four million.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But who\u2019s counting?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think what you\u2019re trying is not working. You\u2019re not motivating the Republicans.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m not trying to motivate the Republicans. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s possible. I\u2019m not even sure the Republicans want to win other than to get their committee chairmanships. I don\u2019t think the Republicans really care. I don\u2019t think they want the job! I don\u2019t think they want the pressure of leading. I don\u2019t think the Republicans want a smaller government at all. I don\u2019t think the Republicans want to reduce government. I just think they want to run it for a couple of years so they lose it again.<\/p>\n

CALLER: If you\u2019d motivated us years ago, five — four more million people may have voted for the Republican candidate.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, wait. This is my fault?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m upset. You\u2019re… If you want to be our leader, I\u2019m not getting much motivation from you that we\u2019re gonna win this time. Citing polls doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s not why I cited the poll. I didn\u2019t cite the poll to motivate anybody one way or the other, to vote or not vote.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, why did you cite them then?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Because it\u2019s news! Because it\u2019s incredible. Because despite Obama falling apart, the Republicans aren\u2019t taking advantage of it. Have you not been listening the past six weeks?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. I\u2019m a very loyal listener, Rush. I\u2019ve been a listener since 19-whenever the LA riots happened.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you what, Ted. I\u2019m as frustrated as you are. We\u2019ve got a golden opportunity. We\u2019ve had it since 2010, and the Republicans will not seize it!<\/p>\n

CALLER: How would you do that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019ve had every opportunity to forge a majority support, with a majority of the American people. They don\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Tell me what to do, as one Republican in west Michigan.<\/p>\n

RUSH: As one Republican in west Michigan, what to do?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. What do I do?<\/p>\n

RUSH: In the first place, do not assume more responsibility than is actually yours. You nor any individual is not responsible for what happens in the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whether you vote or don\u2019t vote. In a situation like this, I\u2019ll tell you what. I had a friend come over to the house yesterday. Let me tell me tell you all a little story. I wasn\u2019t gonna mention this. I still can\u2019t tell you who. Everybody would know who it is, but everybody that comes to my house understands the only way they\u2019ll speak to me is if I promise it won\u2019t be repeated.<\/p>\n

Well, I can repeat it without telling you who. But the person that came over was dyed-in-the-wool for Obama six years ago, and four years ago was less so. But this person also still is — I\u2019m telling you — a well-known, extremely wealthy, person everybody would think is quite informed. But even this person, all he wanted to know is, “Who are the Republicans gonna nominate?”<\/p>\n

He desperately wants Republicans to win. He thinks somebody\u2019s gotta stop this. “Who? Who? Who, Rush? Who is gonna run?” There have been a couple of three things that have frightened the hell out of this man in just the past two years, and he\u2019s awakened. But you should have seen his face fall when I told him, “It doesn\u2019t matter right now who the Republicans nominate.”<\/p>\n

I said to this gentleman, “The Republicans are gonna win,” and I gave him the spiel that I gave last week here. “The Republicans are gonna win big in November. I don\u2019t know if they\u2019re gonna take control of the Senate, but they\u2019re going to win big. The problem, sir, is that it\u2019s always a protest vote. The people who are gonna be voting for Republicans in November are not actively voting for Republicans.<\/p>\n

“Right now, they don\u2019t even know what the Republicans stand for. What they think of Republicans is they\u2019re the other guys. They\u2019re mad at the Democrats, they\u2019re mad at Obama.” I said, “Do you remember the eighties?” “Yep.” “Did you like what happened in the \u201980s?” “I loved what happened the eighties.” “Can you tell me then why so many people forgot it? Why, after all of those eight solid years, sir, of overwhelming success and economic advancement, recovery, you name it, do people continue to vote for hose who want to destroy that?”<\/p>\n

He said, “Good point. I don\u2019t know.” I said, “It\u2019s because they\u2019re never really actively voting for Republicans. They\u2019re just voting against Democrats — and after a while, they think it\u2019s safe to go back. After they get their anger out of their system.” He said, “Well, what\u2019s gonna stop this?” I said, “What\u2019s gonna stop it is the Republican Party standing for something. The Republican Party has gotta stand for something!”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s gotta more than who\u2019s the nominee gonna be, sir. The Republican Party\u2019s gonna have to stand up and spell out an agenda! The Republican Party\u2019s gotta stand up and tell the American people why they\u2019re mad, why they\u2019re unhappy, why they feel unsafe. Instead of just trying to take advantage of those feelings, they\u2019ve gotta stand up and tell people! ‘Why is the country going to hell? Answer: Democrat Party, Barack Obama!\u2019<\/p>\n

“And then list the policies. The only way people are gonna learn is if they\u2019re told. But if you\u2019re afraid to tell \u2019em because you\u2019re gonna be called a racist, you\u2019re gonna forever shut up. So you\u2019ll take being voted for when they\u2019re mad at the Democrats, and you\u2019ll get your jollies running the government for two or three years, and then people will go back to Democrats when they feel safe again.<\/p>\n

“If you want to stop this cycle, you gotta stand for the opposite of what\u2019s happening now, not just a little bit different, not just a little bit smarter. You gotta stand for the opposite! You have gotta stand for the government getting smaller. You have gotta stand for all this spending to stop. You gotta stand for lower taxes. You\u2019ve gotta stand for people being able to keep more of what they earn. You gotta be willing to support the fact that there are careers to be had, not jobs.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s any number of things! It\u2019s sitting on a silver platter for the Republican Party, but I don\u2019t see anybody,” outside of a couple names I gave him, but a couple names isn\u2019t enough. And then I gave him, “Look at the story of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Look at five years, sir! Five years! You probably… Back then, you supported the Democrats. You probably thought Bush was the stupidest idiot on the face of the earth, if that\u2019s what you believed in the media.<\/p>\n

“And Bush, they never defended anything. The Republican Party doesn\u2019t have an agenda, they\u2019re not announcing what they\u2019re for. But more importantly, the Republican Party does not explain to people why they\u2019re miserable, why they feel unsafe, why they\u2019re unhappy.” I said, “For the life of me, I can\u2019t figure it out. How does a full-fledged Republican Party actually allow another party to get away with claiming that they hate women?<\/p>\n

“It is absurd! How does that happen? How does a party stand accused of conducting a War on Women have people believe it? Well, the answer is, they don\u2019t refute it.” I said, “This is why I don\u2019t care who the nominee is right now.” I said, “You know, it\u2019s about so much more than that,” and <\/line>it is. I get so sick and tired of, “Who do you think it\u2019ll be? Will it be Christie? Do you think…?”<\/line><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care. It\u2019s not the story, who the nominee is. Look, I don\u2019t intend any offense, but to give you an idea how bad it is, they\u2019re talking about Romney again. Now, I love Mitt Romney as a human being. Mitt Romney is one of the… He is just one of the most decent guys you\u2019ll ever run into. Unfortunately, he\u2019s demonstrated two things: That four million Republicans will not vote for him and stay home instead, and that he can lose.<\/p>\n

If that is the answer four years later, there\u2019s something that\u2019s not quite kosher. As I said, “As long as the Republican Party is seen as supporting the Democrats on amnesty, it doesn\u2019t matter who they nominate, and it doesn\u2019t matter if they get their Senate chairmanships. They\u2019re not gonna change the country.” I said, “The real question we\u2019ve all gotta answer here is: Do they really want to change the country?<\/p>\n

“Or are they like the establishment everywhere: They like Big Government. They want their chance to run Big Government. They want their chance to be in charge of the money spent in Big Government. They want to get benefits from crony capitalism for four years or so until people get tired of \u2019em and vote for the Democrats again.” I said, “The solution here isn\u2019t that hard. It\u2019s just I don\u2019t see anybody espousing it.”<\/p>\n

Does that help, Ted?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: He-he-he. Oh, you\u2019re gonna love this. I checked the e-mail during the break, and now I\u2019m getting e-mails: “You ducked the guy\u2019s issue. You ducked the guy\u2019s question.” I ducked the question? What they\u2019re saying in the e-mail, the reason I ducked the guy\u2019s question, “This guy said you\u2019re the leader. You\u2019re the guy trying to get people to vote Republican, and you\u2019re doing a lousy job of it, and you didn\u2019t answer him.”<\/line><\/p>\n

Look, this is a fine line I\u2019ve gotta walk here. This guy thinks I\u2019m the leader. He also thinks I want to be. I\u2019m not Colin Powell is the titular head of the Republican Party. I\u2019m just an entertainer. I\u2019m just a guy on the radio. But you know what his call really gets to? I mean, I don\u2019t want to get too deep here, but you know what his call really gets to? “What are you doing? What are you doing on the radio? What are you trying to accomplish on the radio?”<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve said this before. I\u2019m a radio guy. There are business responsibilities. There are things that have to happen here, because if they don\u2019t, the content is academic, it doesn\u2019t matter what I do if the business requirements aren\u2019t met. You know what my purpose here is? To create and hold the largest audience possible so that we can charge confiscatory advertising rates. That\u2019s the job and I\u2019ve made no secret of that. I told 60 Minutes that. “Oh, you\u2019re just in it for the money?”<\/p>\n

No, I knew you\u2019d say that, you idiot, small-minded clowns. I\u2019m telling you that I view this as a business. I\u2019m on the radio. That\u2019s the gig.<\/p>\n

“Are you saying you don\u2019t believe what you say?”<\/p>\n

Not at all. Did I say I don\u2019t believe what I say?<\/p>\n

“Well, do you make it up?”<\/p>\n

No, I believe everything I say. I\u2019m totally honest. I do everything on this program from the bottom of my heart. But my success — 25 years — my success is not determined by who wins and loses elections. I don\u2019t control campaigns. I don\u2019t control candidates. I don\u2019t control who gets the nomination, and I don\u2019t control those people. They win and they lose, and they come and they go. Why would I tie my success to any of them? I do this program for you, the audience. It is to you and your service that I do this every day.<\/p>\n

My objective is to create the largest informed, participating bloc of citizens possible, voting citizens in a responsible way. And so, I get news today that Obama is down big time with women and a woman has thrown him under the bus because he makes women feel unsafe. The purpose in telling you that is not to get people to vote Republican. Right now, I\u2019m trying to get more and more low-information people to understand the mistake they\u2019re making supporting Democrats.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t control the Republican Party. I\u2019m not the Republican Party. I don\u2019t have a thing to do with the Republican Party, policy-wise, nothing. It\u2019s why I\u2019m writing children\u2019s books. I want people to know the truth of this country. They are being lied to about it every day in the media. They are being dispirited. They\u2019re being told the country\u2019s best days are behind them. I don\u2019t believe any of that. I believe the country\u2019s best days are ahead with responsible, inspiring, uplifting leadership. There are ways to turn this around.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s frustrating just being a guy on the radio. I don\u2019t want to run for office because of the pay cut. I\u2019ve always said that. None of this is new. And it\u2019s all on record. I know what the Democrat Party stands for. I\u2019m not sure what the Republican Party stands for right now. I\u2019m sorry. But I know what the Democrat Party stands for. I know what liberalism is, I know what they do. I\u2019m trying to inform as many people to vote against the Democrat Party substantively, not \u2019cause they\u2019re mad at \u2019em, not because they\u2019re tired of \u2019em for a while. I want people to understand how voting Democrat limits their futility, limits their lives, damages the country. That\u2019s what\u2019s going on here.<\/p>\n

But I can\u2019t come here and make promises to you about what the Republicans are gonna do \u2019cause I don\u2019t know what they\u2019re gonna do. And I don\u2019t know who they\u2019re going to nominate. I don\u2019t have a preference right now. We\u2019re not there yet. I know it\u2019s the focal point. I was playing golf Saturday, “Are we gonna win the Senate?” You know what I start to say when I get these questions? “Are we gonna win the Senate? As though that\u2019s it, that\u2019s the solution, is winning the Senate. Are we gonna win the Senate?”<\/p>\n

I said, “Yeah, but it isn\u2019t gonna matter.” And that is like a cold. “What do you mean, it isn\u2019t gonna matter?” Then that\u2019s when I know they\u2019re listening. If I say, “Yeah, we\u2019re gonna win, but,” they wouldn\u2019t hear anything after the “but.” All they care about is are we gonna win. But if I say, “Yeah, but it isn\u2019t gonna make any difference,” then they want to know why, so they listen. Then I give them the spiel that I just gave you. And, look, folks, I\u2019m not trying to be pessimistic here.<\/p>\n

You know I\u2019m the mayor of Realville. I know how far optimism goes. I know how far inspiration goes, and like I said at the beginning of the program, we have enough pessimism. People provide that on their own. Leaders cannot fall prey to it. Leaders cannot join the crowd in pessimism and negativity. That\u2019s not what leaders do. And I\u2019m not joining you in it, by the way, for those of you who think I\u2019m the leader. I am not pessimistic. And don\u2019t claim that I am simply by pointing these things out. I\u2019m the mayor of Realville. You can\u2019t get past something until you know what you\u2019re dealing with.<\/p>\n

You ought to see, I\u2019ll tell you, it would be impossible for me to be pessimistic. My show in these last 25 years are a testament to why pessimism would be insane for me. But you ought to see since we\u2019ve started the — and this is not a shameless plug. I wasn\u2019t even gonna mention this but now it just happens to flow. You know, we\u2019re really hyping the Facebook page<\/a> for Rush Revere. And you ought to see what\u2019s coming in. And the RushRevere.com<\/a> exclusive website. You ought to see the things people are sending us. We\u2019ve got parents and young readers saying, “You need to get these books in every school.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/map>\n<\/p>\n

They\u2019re sending us pictures of themselves reading the books. We\u2019re getting notes from teachers thanking us for the books because it\u2019s making it easier for them to teach real history in class. And if you are on the receiving end of this like we are, you\u2019d be optimistic, too. It\u2019s a long slog. I\u2019m not saying we\u2019re overcoming anything here yet, but at least the effort that\u2019s being made, the mission that we\u2019re engaged in here in this effort, young people 10 to 13 and their parents and grandparents, I mean, it\u2019s drawing some really, really upbeat, magnanimous, magnificent, feedback. If you were here looking at it, and you can see it if you go to any of those places, our Facebook page or RushRevere.com, there are reasons for optimism.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you another reason I\u2019m optimistic. Now, this will maybe make some of you raise your eyebrows. But the very fact people are not happy is an opportunity, to me. The very fact that people are beginning to see the light. Okay, Obama, mess. Immigration, mess. ISIS, mess. Ebola, there\u2019s a chance. There\u2019s an opportunity here to finally tell people why they\u2019re feeling and thinking what they\u2019re feeling and thinking. And that\u2019s an opportunity to me, and that\u2019s what I\u2019m doing here. But not on behalf of the Republican Party, because I\u2019m not them. And nobody on the radio is in charge of, or even closely tied to what the party\u2019s doing.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m like everybody else. I think I know what they should be doing, and I\u2019ve said so on plenty of occasions, but I don\u2019t have any control over it. But I also have a belief — and I mentioned this, too — I think the vast majority of the American people are fed up with all kinds of stuff. They just can\u2019t say so because of political correctness, and if the right circumstances came together, the majority of people would be able to put their foot down, reverse some of this stuff and get us back on the right track. And I think it\u2019s possible. And for that, I\u2019m optimistic.<\/p>\n

I also believe that at some point, may not happen in our lifetime, but at some point — I thought it might be the Millennials, but it isn\u2019t gonna be. They\u2019ve thrown in the towel, at least for now. But there\u2019s gonna be a generation that comes along that\u2019s not gonna tolerate this, whatever this is, they\u2019re not gonna tolerate no rules, no limits, anything goes. They\u2019re gonna want some order in their lives. They\u2019re gonna want some decency. They\u2019re gonna want things to make sense. They\u2019re gonna refuse to accept what they\u2019re being bequeathed in terms of culture and lifestyle and politics. It happens. It\u2019s happened in this country over you could say fourth or fifth generation, and it\u2019s due to happen again.<\/p>\n

The country will survive. There\u2019s always gonna be an America. Another reason to be optimistic. We\u2019re in the sixth year of Obama. Think how bad it would be if his approval numbers were still in the seventies and everybody loved what was going on. You want to talk about being depressed, imagine that. It\u2019s one thing to be depressed over the fact that Republicans don\u2019t seem to know how to capitalize on the opportunity, but it\u2019d be a whole different thing if vast majorities supported the crap that\u2019s happening. And they don\u2019t. It\u2019s a reason to be optimistic. Hopeful, maybe, if you don\u2019t like optimistic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
