BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: We're gonna start with Jimmy in Toms River, New Jersey, and as always, I really appreciate your patience in waiting. How are you?
CALLER: You must be kidding with the patience part. I gotta tell you, your call screener told me to keep the butt kissing at a minimum, but I have to tell you, it's a true honor to speak to you. You're an inspiration to me through a lot of hard times and --
RUSH: Keep the butt kissing -- (crosstalk)
CALLER: -- that life. And I really do mean that, Rush. It's not just the obligatory mega dittos.
RUSH: Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it. I really do. (laughing)
CALLER: I got a couple of quick points. First about the Iowa polls, which will lead into my main point. You know, when you look at and analyze these polls, Cruz's number was about where most the polls shows he was gonna be, anywhere between 24 to 25 to 26, he ended up with 27. Where they were off was obviously Trump's number, but that leads me into this. Rubio, the massive turnout, really, if you look at it, went to Rubio. There was a massive turnout. Whether it was a true just absolute "I have to vote for Rubio" or another reason, which I think it was another reason, that I'm gonna get to now.
I've been a Trump guy from the beginning, Rush. I'm one of those angry people. I grew up in abject poverty with abusive parents, and Ronald Reagan told me I can be different, that where I came from is not where I can end up. And this country has afforded me things and lets me do things that I can only imagine. I've also supported the Republican Party, and they slapped me in my face. Two landslide Senate victories that did nothing but get them to capitulate to Obama --
RUSH: I'm getting off the road here. You were a Trump supporter?
CALLER: Yes, I was.
RUSH: Okay. And --
CALLER: Because I'm one of those angry males.
RUSH: Right. Right, so you were an angry guy and you wanted everybody to know how mad you were, that things were going wrong and you think there's all kinds of stuff, and you like the fact that Trump was a vessel for your anger. Is that right?
CALLER: Exactly, and I was willing to overlook the fact that really any honest person has to say he is not a raving conservative or a traditional conservative.
RUSH: Okay. So are you -- (crosstalk)
CALLER: -- looked at.
RUSH: Okay. But you're in New Jersey, so you didn't vote in the Iowa caucus but you want to talk about Rubio and where his numbers came from?
CALLER: Well, what my overall point is, I think what happened is this. The anger can only last so long, okay? I'm angry about the things that I mentioned and, you know, I'm angry about the fact that I was laid off eight months ago and I'm weeks away from being homeless after raising two kids since I was 16 and coming from nothing. But the anger can only last so long, and hearing him constantly talk about the Canada thing even after he lost, which anybody of any type of conscience has to look at why you lost and humble you a bit and lead you to a different direction. He still harps on the Canada thing.
RUSH: Now, wait a minute. I just want to make sure I understand. Trump has lost you because he won't get off this Canada thing?
CALLER: I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. It's not the Canada thing overall. It's starting to seem like his anger is disingenuous and he's angry for anger's sake, not just angry for principles. He's angry because it sells something. I don't want to be sold anything anymore. I was sold something by the mainstream Republican Party that obviously was proven to be a lie over and over again. I don't want to sold anymore. I'm starting to think that this whole anger with him is not for the reasons that he tends to let out. It's more for "this is what they're going to buy."
RUSH: Let me jump in here. Jimmy, time is dwindling, and I apologize our phone system is such we can't actually have a conversation, that's why I have to sound like I'm interrupting you. But are you saying that Trump's anger while you think is legitimate, he doesn't understand why you're mad, and therefore you don't think that he really gets it, and he's just being angry now because he think that's what's attracting people to him?
CALLER: A hundred percent. Like I said, again, I worked hard all my life, okay? I was laid off eight months ago. I don't want anybody to give me nothing. But I searched out opportunities for days and days. My savings is gone, everything is gone. There's no opportunities anymore.
RUSH: Right, right, right.
CALLER: (crosstalk) -- a chance for me to start working and get somewhere anymore.
RUSH: Okay. I have to run. I'm out of time. I'm frustratedly out of time.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Now, as to our last caller, it depends. Folks, the phone system here is weird, and it happens most of the time when people are on a cell phone. You ever used a speakerphone where you can't talk to who you're talking to until you shut up, and while you're speaking they can be shouting and you will not hear them? That's the way the phone system is here for some reason on cell phones. I was unable to talk to the guy. I had to just keep shouting at him until he stopped talking and took a breath is when he can hear me.
But what I was able to get out of it, what I was able to put together was he was originally a Trump supporter, because he thought Trump's anger was exactly what's needed. He was detailing his lot in life, how he started out and lost everything, became a Reaganite and so forth, believes in America, and he's angry at all of the destruction that's taken place and is taking place in the country. And he thought Trump was just ideal. And he's out of the Trump support window now. He has abandoned Trump. Those are my words, not his, but he said he's over it. And the reason is he doesn't think that Trump's anger is genuine.
That's when he was talking about he thinks Trump's anger is a sales technique. And what convinced him of this, he doesn't understand why after the election, after it's all over in Iowa, why he's still continuing to go after Cruz and the Canada angle. To him -- this is what he was saying -- as a Trump supporter, it doesn't make any sense. To him, nobody would really be mad about that. It doesn't make sense to be that mad about whether somebody might be Canadian or not. So that was his point. That's what he was aiming at and we were able to dissect it for you during the break.
Fox. Beck. Now Rush.
Trump has done us a big favor exposing how deep Uniparty controls things.
I wouldn’t mind Trump backing Cruz. Rubio is totally pro amnesty open borders. First term untested Senator who will go along to not do his Senate job. All the warning signs are there.
Rubio is Rush’s U.S. Senator. There is such a thing as regional pride.
I heard that Rick Santorum has dropped out and has endorsed Rubio. With Rush making Rubio’s case, things will get interesting.
I was a Rush listener for many years...I had a beauty salon in a nursing home, and I listened to him regularly. He always inspired me...
He and I are both bilateral Cochlear Implanted, and I learned so much about that when listening to him go through the process...so when I decided to look into Cochlear, I used the knowledge he shared and he did a great job of informing me what it was all about...
I've been implanted since 2010 one ear and the other since 2011 ...The best thing I ever did...for now I CAN HEAR..and I have a very happy family that I did this...
haven't listened to Rush lately but do try reading his web site...he is a disappointment in this election cycle for sure...
just sharing...
Exactly right.
Rush is a blowhard. He is not much different then Beck.
Or perhaps everyone sees what you refuse to see. That Trump is no conservative.
I see Cruz and i swear i need a necklace of garlic.
And the sun shining, and more wooden stakes.
i’m going to look that up right now.
i’m 47 but lost most hearing in right ear from head injury.
hearing aid sounds like a microphone lol

Crus is the mental one and the real narcissistic.
Yeah right. He's gonna become part of the system and "make deals".
Now that you have ruled out Fox News and nearly all conservative editorial writers, columnists and radio hosts, where exactly do you turn for your news and information? MSNBC and Al Sharpton?
I support Trump, despite his obvious shortcomings, and I still listen to Rush and Levin both.
WTF has Rubio EVER done to suggest he’s qualified for POTUS? One thing......I’m waiting........
It’s no different than with Obama.
that’s incredible! sounds like science fiction.
how well do they work? are sounds different? can you hear music?
What makes you think Reagan was a principled conservative? Have you ever listened to Charlotte Iserbyt (high ranking woman in the dept of Education)? She gives the inside scoop about him. He was a big government politician. Better than most for sure, but not principled enough to change things.
Thank you, I needed that!
No
Past positions in his case are irrelevant, he hits all the right spots now that he is a national candidate.
He is a HARD RIGHT WING AMERICAN.
Nobody else comes close
Do you have a link?
Any proof?
