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

RUSH: What number is the Chris Christie bite? Grab sound bite number 17. This is from yesterday afternoon. It\u2019s on CNBC Power Lunch. John Harwood, chief correspondent — he\u2019s been the New York Times, Wall Street Journal. Now he\u2019s at CNBC, and he may still be at the New York Times<\/a>, for all I know. He did a quick little interview with Governor Christie at the CNBC Delivering Alpha Conference, and Harwood says, “Governor, do you think we need less government?”<\/p>\n

CHRISTIE: What I think is we need less government being intrusive in our lives in every way that it is. Now, there are absolute fundamental roles for government, which is protecting the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens. And so I believe in a strong and vigorous national defense. I believe that government has an appropriate role in regulating different activities that go on in the country. But I think what\u2019s happened is that there\u2019s a divide between the two parties where, who can do most of that best? It\u2019s not that Republicans don\u2019t believe government has a role.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, there you have it. That\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m talking about. The argument is no longer a big, intrusive, too large government; the argument is who\u2019s gonna run the Big Government better. Governor Christie is trying to make the case that the Republicans are better at running a big monolith than the Democrats are. “Hey, we Republicans, it\u2019s not that we don\u2019t think government has a role! <\/line><\/p>\n

“We just think the question is: Who can do the most the best?” That\u2019s what he said. “Who can do most of that best? Who can do the most of the best?” That\u2019s what the arguments come down to, and the Weekly Standard editorial position is: The American people have voted for Big Government. They want it. We have to tell \u2019em we\u2019re better at running it. <\/p>\n

Among the Republicans inside-the-Beltway, there\u2019s no desire to fight for a smaller government. There\u2019s an acceptance of what is, and they claim it\u2019s rooted in this is what the American people are voting for. “We\u2019re silly if we try to oppose this, Mr. Limbaugh,” they tell me. “You\u2019re never gonna win an election running on small government. Look, way too many people need it. Too many people depend on it. Too many people want it.<\/p>\n

“We cannot just wish that away. We wish it weren\u2019t the case, but it is. So our strategy has to be that we\u2019re smarter and that we\u2019re better and we\u2019ll be less intrusive as we.” Well, that\u2019s not a choice. That\u2019s not really a choice, because a Big Government can\u2019t be run efficiently. A Big Government can\u2019t be run smarter. That\u2019s the old argument modern day liberals make to explain away the failures of Gorbachev and Stalin and Lenin and Mao. <\/p>\n

“Well, you know what? They weren\u2019t the right people to really close the deal. We are the ones you\u2019ve been waiting for! We\u2019re the ones to make it happen. We are the ones smart enough to run big. We\u2019re the ones that really are now on the scene. We\u2019re the ones can make socialism work.” That\u2019s the leftist argument. The Republicans have modified that. <\/p>\n

“We\u2019re the ones who can run a Big Government better!”<\/p>\n

(interruption) Why does the left never abandon their…? ‘Cause they\u2019re committed to it. I\u2019ll tell you why the left never abandons their ideology is because public opinion\u2019s irrelevant to them. Public opinion is meant to be manipulated, bent and shaped, fooled. They\u2019re into fooling the people. If you listen to Republicans, the American people are voting for Big Government.<\/line><\/p>\n

“I mean, they say they want it. We can\u2019t change that!” When people vote against Democrats, do the Democrats change? Do the Democrats say, “Wow, you know what? The American people don\u2019t want a Big Government. We better come out for a smaller one.” Do they ever do that? They never do. It\u2019s more complex than saying the Republicans listen to the people and the Democrats don\u2019t, but there is some truth to that. <\/p>\n

The Democrats have their agenda, their ideology, and it\u2019s their religion. So just as you\u2019re not going to be able to talk a Christian out of Christianity, you\u2019re not gonna be able to talk a liberal out of liberalism. Well, it happens. I know it does. I know it. In both instances it happens, by the way. But the Republicans don\u2019t approach… The Republicans, I think they exemplify — you know people like this.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re just totally obsessed with what people think of them and try to satisfy them. Can somebody tell me what the Republican agenda is? I know what the Democrat agenda is. I mean, I know what Chuck Schumer wants. I know what Obama wants. I know what Biden wants. I know what Harry Reid wants. I know what they want. Can somebody tell me what the Republican agenda is today, other than what Chris Christie just said here? <\/p>\n

No, you can\u2019t. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s one of the problems, I think. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Henry in the Washington area. Henry, welcome. Glad you called, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Great to talk with you. Yeah, I\u2019m glad you grabbed that clip. I heard it a little different. You cut it off just before the end. Preface: I\u2019m not a big Christie fan, but I think that he was about to say, “Who can do…? Who can…?” He said, uhh, something… The government can ensure peace and health of the citizens and the security of the citizens, and then he said the question is, who can do it better? And I think he was about to say, Democrats — Democrats think the Democrats can do it better and the public thinks the private sector can do it better.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I don\u2019t have that. The only thing I know what he said is what I have here on the roster.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmmn.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you know that he continued to speak after this? Let\u2019s play the bite. I\u2019ll just play what we have here. This is on CNN yesterday afternoon, and he was asked by John Harwood if he thought that we need less government. (replaying of sound bite) So he continued speaking? You heard him say that he thinks that private sector could do most of this better?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019m gonna have to research it, but I just thought I\u2019d bring it up because what I know of the guy, he wouldn\u2019t be a guy that would be saying, “I think Republicans can do Big Government better.” But I\u2019m amazed I got through. I just thought I\u2019d make that point.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, but —<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Tell you what. I will research it and send you an e-mail.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, we\u2019ve got the whole bite. We edit this stuff just for brevity. We never edit things to take people out of context. We don\u2019t do that here. So I\u2019ll find out if there\u2019s anything additional here that would change the context, but I would be shocked to learn that that happened in this case. All I can tell you is, you may wish that Republicans would say what you think they were going to say. <\/p>\n

I used to think they would say it, too. <\/p>\n

I used to think that they believed this stuff, but more and more — and it\u2019s not just Republicans. So-called conservatives in the media. I\u2019m not making this up. Here\u2019s the thing, Henry. I think everybody\u2019s gonna come to grips with the fact that the Washington establishment — the establishment Republicans have made it very clear, they like government. They like Big Government. <\/p>\n

They want to control it. <\/p>\n

They want the levers of power in Big Government. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t hear, as a campaign message or as a mission statement or anything representative of an agenda, from the Republican Party about smaller government. If they do say it, it\u2019s tossed in as an afterthought. It\u2019s not something that they lead with. Now, here\u2019s something. The New York Times wrote this story up, and here\u2019s something else that Christie said. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have it on tape. I\u2019m just gonna read this to you from the New York Times. “I for certain believe it\u00c2\u2019s wrong to say government needs to spend more money on education. In my state, we spend $17,700 per pupil on average on K-to-12 education. We do not have a spending problem in education in New Jersey. We have a quality problem in many parts of our state. Infrastructure is uniquely a governmental role.<\/p>\n

“Well, where\u2019s the money coming from exactly? We do need at some point to say there\u00c2\u2019s a bottom to this. But do I think that infrastructure is something the government needs to invest in and needs to partner with folks on? Absolutely I do.” So most of what he was talking about here was government spending, and he was saying we don\u2019t need anymore government spending on education. It clearly isn\u2019t working. <\/p>\n

But we do need more government spending on “infrastructure.” He didn\u2019t say the private sector would be best capable at dealing with that or more suited at dealing with that. I think I\u2019ve come to grips with the fact that this is not the Republican Party I grew up in. This is not the Republican Party that automatically… Look, where has the opposition to Obama been? Where\u2019s the push-back been? <\/p>\n

In my lifetime, we\u2019ve never had a greater opportunity to contrast the supposed differences in the two parties than last 5-1\/2 years. We have Big Government, we have expansive, we have the redistribution of wealth, we\u2019ve got liberalism on steroids — and it\u2019s not just theoretical anymore. It\u2019s real, it\u2019s happening, and it\u2019s destroying things. Where\u2019s the push-back? Where is the contrast? Where is the Republican Party saying, “No, this is not the answer. The answer is the exact opposite of this”? <\/line><\/p>\n

It would be so easy to say. <\/p>\n

It happens to be true. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s exactly what the Republican Party base wants to hear. You see all these stories every day. I\u2019ll give you another illustration of this. Every day, ladies and gentlemen — I don\u2019t care what the story is, be it the impeachment of Obama<\/a> or immigration, you name it — the focal point of every story in the media is what the Democrats are doing to keep their base happy, what the Democrats are doing to get their base out. <\/p>\n

Even if it includes tricking the Republicans into impeaching Obama, even if it includes amnesty for illegals or what have you. If it includes making it sound like every woman needs a birth control pill 25 times a day, whatever it is, everything they\u2019re doing is oriented toward turning out their base. Do you ever see such stories about the Republicans? You don\u2019t. <\/p>\n

The stories you see about the Republicans and their base is how they are embarrassed by their base. You see stories about the Republicans and their base and it\u2019s about how they\u2019re trying to avoid their base or about how they don\u2019t want their base (i.e., the Tea Party). You never see stories about the Republican Party doing what it can to solidify its base. It seems like everything the Republican Party\u2019s doing either is intended to (or it just happens to) provoke their base. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, every story about the Democrats and their base is how the Democrats are trying to please them, to stoke them, fire \u2019em up, keep \u2019em happy, get \u2019em it turned out. You never see that about the Republicans, and you would if the Republicans were actually opposed to what\u2019s going on. Now, could well be that they are, they\u2019re just afraid to say so, and that may hold a grain of truth, too. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget, Obama\u2019s race acts as a great paralyzer. It just shuts down any legitimate criticism. People are afraid that it\u2019s gonna be chalked up to racism. It\u2019s gonna be discounted, ridiculed, personalized and then people are just terrified. So they shut up. But regardless. Whatever the reason, there is no push-back. There is no opposition. There is no effort to contrast the difference in the two parties, and the Republicans do not make it look like they\u2019re interested in their base being happy. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: One more. I don\u2019t have the audio, but I have the transcript. One more thing that Governor Christie said in the interview on CNBC with John Harwood. <\/p>\n

Harwood said, “Let me ask about the macro division between the two parties. Essentially, what you hear from Republicans in Washington is government needs to do less, spend less, we need to borrow less, get out of the way. From Democrats you say we need, as Hillary Clinton said recently, the building blocks in the 21st Century industry; more workforce training, more science. Where are you on that,” Governor? <\/p>\n

Governor Christie said, “The fact is the difference between Republicans and Democrats, Democrats believe the government are the people who could be doing those things that Mrs. Clinton mentioned and Republicans believe the private sector is better to do that. That\u2019s the fundamental core disagreement. Now having run a government for five years, I agree with my party even more than I did before.”<\/p>\n

HARWOOD: “You see her as a big-spending Democratic liberal, who wants to grow government?”<\/line><\/p>\n

CHRISTIE: “No. I think you said that.”<\/p>\n

So he does not see, or he refused to call, Hillary Clinton a big-spending liberal. Now, he did say here, as the caller thought he might, that Republicans believe the private sector is better to do things like science and whatever the hell else Hillary\u2019s talking about, but Harwood asks: “You see her as a big-spending Democratic liberal, who wants to grow government?” and he says, basically: “No, no, no. I didn\u2019t say that. You did.” <\/p>\n

(interruption) What are you shaking your head for in there? You know why he said this? (interruption) Why do you think he said…? (interruption) Why will he not…? (interruption) Why will he not take the opportunity to agree that Hillary Clinton is a big-spending liberal? (interruption) He doesn\u2019t want to what? (interruption) <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think it has anything to do with not attacking the girl. I think it\u2019s a tantamount admission that he comes from a liberal state. I mean, the people that elected him believe in Big Government. Who knows? The people in New Jersey may love Hillary Clinton. He may not want to be on the wrong side of Hillary because he\u2019s gonna need the people of his state later on. <\/p>\n

This is what, I mean, though. I mean, if you can\u2019t distinguish yourself in terms of the role of government and big spending versus small, if you can\u2019t distinguish yourself from Hillary Clinton, then what are you doing? She is the epitome of what we oppose. So is Obama. And if you cannot say that, or if you won\u2019t say it, what are people to conclude? You leave it open. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
