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.
I enjoyed something I read recently that talked about the hordes of Trump supporters who showed up at his rallies but failed to vote for him.
Said Sea World has Shamu the killer whale where throngs of people show up to watch, but they will not vote Shamu as President.
Trump and Shamu are entertainers.
How anyone can see that video and pretend DT was not mocking him is inconceivable. That put the last nail in DT’s coffin for me, then he lied about it. You could look at everyone of DT’s rallies and never see him make those hand gestures before or since.
Total dream, kid.
Cruz cheated and Trump called him on it as he should have. There is no way Trump would allow Cruz to use those tactics again going forward. Cruz may joke but he knows full well that he will be watch very closely by Trump and his organization going forward.
I was 67 yrs. with my first...in a few days I'll be 73, holy cow, how did that happen...oh well, age is just a number..think young, stay young!!!!
The Cochlear web site is very informative and your audiologist should be a big asset to help you...Mine sure did, they encouraged me all the way, and had my surgeries at UPMC in Pittsburgh..
Both my adult kids, are in the medical world, and they were so helpful, hubby was totally lost, but was a good learner...wink~wink. But I learned so much from Rush, as he gave a great deal of info of what he was going thru..He just got his second implant about a year ago...I'm sure he is a happy camper as am I...
So I encourage you to investigate and seek support and help. It is so wonderful to be able to hear and HEAR ALWAYS..
Cochlear has Celebrations every two years...wonderful experience, maybe we will met up at one...who knows!!! wish you the best... (p.s. we are a special select group, there are about 225,000 CI WORLD WIDE)
Exactly
So you’re not going to answer my question.
It was a sincere, legitimate question and you choose to throw up some silly link. Fine, I guess that was expected.
PERIOD!!
Rush was pimping Rubio today and then Hannity was too. The word is going out to circle the wagons around Marco. They will start giving him big bucks and the media will be all over him night and day. The establishment is now starting the effort to Mitt Romney the GOP voters.
bttt
WRITE IN this name in every state, in every caucus, and for the election.
CLAYTON BIGSBY.
You'll never have to worry about anything again.
With the internet you do not need any of those pinheads.
“Nah, nobody has to pressure Rush, he’s had a crush on Rubio for years and immigration never has been a big concern for him.”
He backed everything W did - so you are right.
Yeah, turning off Rush the Rino, or Rubioloverboy as I call him.
hahaha
I am beginning to think the talk show crowd notices that Trump does not spend money on ads. That could hurt their bottom line in a Presidential year.
Gold coin commercials probably do not pay as well as political ads.
The tea party is not dead. We have a candidate. He won Iowa.
The other candidate that people liked is imploding.
One America News. Cruz is BS’ing his average supporter. Of course he would not lie to the Cruz groupies who he emails for cash. I know as I get his solicitations. Check this out. I thought it was BS after the research last week showed his PAC’s.
Trump cannot control himself. He is going off the rails. Even though common sense should tell him his tantrums are hurting him, he can’t stop.
He is dangerously unstable. I hope people turn to Cruz before its too late.
Try OANN they report news not opinion and then you can actually decide what you believe is true. Bye bye MSM.
