Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, the only place you need to be.
Don't ever doubt me.
I will never lie to you.
For any reason.
800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
So Jay Carney, White House spokeskid, just told a reporter, you know exactly what Secretary Kerry was referring to when he said unbelievably small.
So, Kerry, we played the soundbiden.
I'm not going to bother you with it again.
He said that we're not going to go to war.
We'll be able to hold Basher accountable without putting troops in there.
We won't have to do anything but a limited strike.
He'll get the message.
Basher said, by the way, you attack us and you should expect everything.
So Basher is saying, we'll have to the kitchen sink with you.
And we're saying, don't worry, Basher, we're not going to be much.
Just a limited strike.
No troops.
Isn't going to be any war.
And Jay Carney, after assuring a reporter, yeah, you heard what Secretary Kerry said.
Unbelievably small.
And then he says that what Kerry means is that a strike on Syria would be small compared to what we did over the last 12 years.
They are trying to distinguish themselves from Bush.
They have got Bush on the brain.
They believe every American hated the Iraq war.
They are they are paralyzed by the idea that they're doing the same thing in the minds of a lot of people.
Which they are, by the way.
They're beating the same drums, they're saying the same things, they're making the same allegations, weapons of mass destruction, the whole thing.
And so this is this this makes these people even more incoherent and dangerous.
They want the world to know that they're we're not George Bush.
No, if we go into Syria, it'll be done responsibly, the way we liberals know it should be on.
Very limited, hardly anything.
Most people won't even notice that we've been there.
That's how good we are.
That's how much we care and love people.
We won't do much.
Not like Bush.
We're not like Bush.
We're not going to do things the way they were the last 12 years.
It's unbelievable.
In the first place, the American people are not as obsessed with that as they are.
And they hate Bush because of Florida 2000.
They are just they're irrational about this because of the presidential race in 2000.
They're still brimming with resentment and hatred, which is their daily existence anyway.
So the message, Jay Carney, what he says, the message they're really trying to send is, hey, we're good people.
We'll only send in a missile or two in a half hour, and it won't hurt anybody, and it'll just it'll just show a side that we're serious and he'll stand down because we're good people.
And we'll convince him so we're not like Bush.
And we're not like Rumsfellow, we're not like Cheney.
I mean, it's unbelievable, folks.
I don't know how to characterize it.
I I really don't.
It's it's beyond childish.
But it's dangerous because we we really get a bunch of children.
We got a bunch of children who sit around, have not been in the real world doing anything of any consequence.
They've been in the faculty lounge, they've been in a classroom, they've been sitting around at cocktail parties at 4 in the afternoon with Klaus von Bullo theorizing about stuff.
They've not done diddly squat.
They don't know how the world works.
They think they know how it should work if only they're in charge.
Bunch of arrogant, conceited.
No it-alls.
We're not like Bush.
We're not like Cheney, we're not like Rumsdale.
It won't be much.
Don't worry about it.
Telling that to their own supporters, and telegraphing that to Assad.
And of course the Iranian mullahs, they probably can't stop laughing either.
Speaking of the Iranian mullets, they've they've been brought into this.
I let me ask you a question.
When it comes to Syria, have you ever heard Obama talk about regime change As an objective.
You have not.
Have you?
You have not.
And they're reinforcing that today.
No.
In fact, you know, this operational Bush had shock and awe.
We're looking at Shuck and Jive here.
That's what I'm going to name this.
The Obama operation in Syria, Operation Shuck and Jive, because that's what this is.
No, we don't do shock and awe.
That's too big.
That's too dangerous.
That's too mean.
We're not.
But I've never heard Obama talk about regime change.
In fact, when he's been asked about it, he's, I think, rejected it.
But I am even more confident, I don't think, up until this weekend that I had heard anything about Iran in this whole Syrian mix anywhere.
Obama, media, what have you.
Then I ran into last Friday show prep, and then Saturday and into the weekend I'm reading about this stuff.
And Iran is what it's all about now.
The uh the leftists in various journals of exalted opinion are now pontificating on the role of Iran in this.
Here, the nation.
That's the magazine that Katrina Hurricane Van de Hoovel edits.
And you know who she is.
I mean, she's a she's an extreme radical leftist.
Her magazine is the nation, and there's a guy that writes there named Bob Dreyfus, and here's what he wrote recently.
The dirty little not-so secret behind Obama's much lobbied-for illegal and strategically incompetent war against Syria is that it's not about Syria at all.
It's about Iran and Israel, and it has been from the start.
Now you're not seeing this on TV, but this is what the liberal elites think.
And Dreyfus said, by from the start, I mean 2011, when the Obama administration gradually became convinced that it could deal Iran a mortal blow by toppling Assad, a secular Bathist strongman, who is, despite everything, an ally of Iran.
Since then, taking Iran down a peg has been the driving force between and behind Obama's Syria policy.
So now all of a sudden, out of the blue, Obama's not said a word about this up until this past weekend.
Now all of a sudden, what this is really about is Iran.
Now, this comes as public support for this operation is lagging.
And the regime wants public support for what they're doing.
So they think they can do that by bringing Iran in.
Oh, yeah, we can take Iran out by doing this.
And that it used to be for the children.
That's exactly right.
We were gonna go into Syria and we're gonna stop these weapons of mass destruction being used for the children and for the women and for the poor and for the Alzheimer's and everything else.
We're gonna go in there and we're gonna make sure Assad stopped being mean to his own people now.
Since public support for this doesn't exist, you've seen the polling data.
I mean, massively opposed to this war are the American people, or to this action are the American people.
So now they're they're they're bringing Iran into this.
Oh, it's been about Iran all along.
Oh yeah.
And this is the best way to take Iran down a peg.
This would be the best way to derail Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons is to take out Assad.
That's why I ask you.
Have you heard Iran since last summer when Obama drew the red line?
Have you ever heard Iran being part of this equation?
You have not.
But the left is attempting to establish the idea that it's always been about that, that Obama's so smart, he just didn't tell you.
So now we're to believe it, taking out Assad, but wait, we're not going to, because Kerry just said it's not gonna do that.
But uh but on the other side, yeah.
We're gonna go do that.
We're gonna just launch some missiles in there, and we're gonna we're gonna do damage to Assad, and that is gonna scare the Malazol Hill, and that is gonna make them stop doing a nuclear weapon.
that's what they're selling now, folks.
This is what I've been alluding to for two hours.
Here we have uh White House Chief of Staff Stan or Dennis McDonough.
Now, this is the guy two Fridays ago taking that 45 minute walk with Obama in the White House crowns.
Up until that moment, Obama was not gonna bring Congress in.
He's just gonna need him.
He was gonna use force against Assad, and he didn't need Congress.
And they had that 45-minute walk with his White House chief of staff, who's who is anti-Syria guy.
And after that walk is when Obama changed his mind about bringing Congress in and demanding a use of force authorization.
That's when people started saying, wait a minute, this is simply a way for Obama to avoid having to do anything and blame the Republicans for all the damage done to the women and children of Syria.
And this guy, McDonough, said Sunday, yesterday, that an impending U.S. attack on Syria would send a message to Iranian leaders that they should not feel free to develop nuclear weapons.
He was on Meet the Press, and he said that to communicate with them that we have to be very clear, very forthright, this is an opportunity to be both with the Iranians.
Now, wait just a second.
So now the justification for doing this is Iran.
So now if we go in and inflict damage on Assad that somehow is going to derail the Iranian nuclear program.
This is what the regime's guy said on TV yesterday.
Why haven't they said that before?
You know, these people, I have to tell you something.
Kerry, Obama, Pelosi, Reed, you name it, they all accused Bush of lying to the American people about why he wanted to go into Iraq.
Do you remember?
They said Iraq's got nothing to do with 9-11.
Iraq's got nothing to do with the war on terror.
He's going in there because Saddam tried to kill his dad.
It's a personal mission.
That's why Bush is doing, even this is after they no longer wanted their names on the use of force authorization.
Well, isn't Obama doing the same thing?
If all of a sudden they're going to throw Iran in here, hasn't everything up to now been a deception?
We got to go into Syria in order to save the women and children from Basher and his mean, mean use of chemical weapons.
Now all of a sudden it's about the Iranian nuclear program.
So are we that we've been lied to all the all this time up to now about why we had to do this?
I thought we had to go in there and stop the use of chemical weapons.
They're just bad.
They're mean, they're horrible, and they're bad for women and children.
And now all of a sudden it's become a way to derail the Iranian nuclear program.
I folks, it's impossible to keep up with this bunch.
I mean, I'm as good at it as anybody.
But this is, in addition to being incoherent and incompetent, and it is that, it also is being done by people who do intend for this country to lose its lofty perch as the number one and lone superpower.
From the Daily Caller, did global warming cause the Syrian civil war.
Um the Daily Caller chronicling here a bunch of leftists who were saying that the only reason there's civil war in Syria is because of drought.
And drought has led to famine.
And the rebels really just want food, and it wouldn't be happening at all, and there wouldn't have been the use of chemical weapons if it weren't for global warming.
The only problem with that is that the Arctic ice sheet is at a record size for this time of year.
They told us the ice was melting in the Arctic ice sheet.
It's not.
There's a record amount of ice in the modern era For this time of year, the North Pole, where Santa Claus is.
Well, Santa Claus Jr., Santa Claus in Washington, but the Santa Claus Jr.'s in the North Pole.
CNN has a story on a public poll opposing the uh strike in Syria.
And uh Bloomberg has a handringer of a story, Syria vote may derail Obama's agenda in Congress.
What a crock.
The the the Syria operation, if anything, is a distraction from amnesty.
It's a distraction from Obamacare, which is also not going well.
But all this attention on Syria is distracting everybody's attention from the rest of Obama's agenda, which he can sneak by with nobody noticing because everything all focused on this, except he can't get it by us here.
Anyway, I must take a brief time out.
But we'll be back.
We'll continue.
More phone calls and other after this.
And says there's some big speech that Hillary's going to be making on Syria in mere moments.
So what?
She's not in the regime anymore.
What's the big why do we care?
That the Limbaugh Teeth's going to be the next president of the United States, it's very important that we understand what's exactly.
Hillary Clinton, everybody waiting breathlessly for her words on Syria.
Well, you know what you ought to do?
Go back.
There's a Obama gave an interview to the New York Times in uh in 2007, not six years ago.
And oftentimes I think going back to the past to try to point out hypocrisy is uh a waste of time, particularly when you're talking about politicians.
Because all they can say is, well, yeah, but things have changed, and I've grown, I've uh learned things since I made that statement or whatever.
I really think it's an overblown technique.
But back in 2007, in an interview with the New York Times, which is part of the presidential campaign, Obama told the reporter there at the Times how important aggressive personal diplomacy is with people like Assad in Syria and Iran.
He said threatening to blow people up is not the way to get them on board.
He said the Syrians and Iranians don't respond to that kind of bluster.
You gotta get involved with them personally, meaning if he's elected president, he'll talk to him personally, and he'll he'll he'll do the diplomacy that way.
Well, obviously he's not doing that.
He's doing the bluster, which he said six years ago would not work with these people.
So make of it what you will.
I just doesn't mean much, just means that you can't trust what these people say ever.
But when he back he was had a whole different set of agenda items back in 2007.
So he's a huge hypocrite, big whoop, who in politics isn't.
But it still is fascinating because it's probably more probably closer to the truth of what he really believed in 2007 than what he's doing now.
Or maybe it's the other way around.
Maybe that was just bluster for a campaign to sound good, and the real Obama is I'm not gonna meet with no good, I'm too big.
Oh, sudden, jump change.
I am the leader of free world.
All I'm gonna do is send a couple uh cruise missiles and show him who's boss, and then go play golf.
And greetings and welcome back.
Folks, you you you have uh you've done it again.
You put us back to number one on Barnes and Noble in the pre-orders.
We've been number one on Amazon pre-orders.
The book doesn't come out till October 29th.
Number one, well, at Amazon, number one everything.
Pre-orders, sales, whatever it is.
The same thing at Barnes and Noble.
And I, folks, I'm so proud of this.
And we've had a couple of phone calls today from people, and we got another one on hold about how impossible it is to buy books for young people that tell the truth about American history.
And this is just, it's it's been fun, but it's such it's such a fun, entertaining, creative way to be able to bring the truth of this country to young people, and it's being denied them.
It's being denied them in school, it's being denied when you're retail level when you go try to find a Book about something as straightforward as the pilgrims in the first Thanksgiving.
Straightforward, the pilgrims, who they were, where they came from, why they came here.
Why did people, you realize the pilgrims were here hundreds of years before this country was founded, and yet the pilgrims are fundamental to the nation's founding.
Is anybody explained the importance of the pilgrims other than the first Thanksgiving to you?
Or to your kids more importantly, lately.
I mean, the pilgrims arrived in 1620.
We declared independence in 1776.
They got here a hundred so years before, and yet the things they did, the life's, the life they led, the achievements that they had were fundamental to the founding of the country.
And the story isn't told.
It's not taught properly.
And we've been uh had a couple of phone calls today from people who've uh who've mentioned that fact, and it's and again, I'll tell you what this is.
It's it's just a it's a testament to the fact that Americans are literally hungry to show their love for this country.
Americans are desperate to be able to invest in something that shows their love of this country.
So the uh the title of the book, Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, Time Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans.
And uh, we create this talking horse named Liberty that's a smart aleck and rush revere our icon from 2 F by T, and they can go anywhere they want in American history because the horse has the ability to time travel.
And it can take the smartphone and record, video record what happens in history, bring it back and show it to a classroom.
And teach the truth and have fun at the same time using modern day tech.
I tell you, folks, we're just we're just proud as we can be of it.
And uh we're I I again I can't tell you how how um overwhelmed we all are at uh pre-order status that you've made this book.
Anyway, I just I wanted to take the occasion to thank you again, given that uh what happened, we're we were we opened the date number two at Barnes and Noble, and then shot back to one and then dropped to five, and now we're back up to one.
And that's all you.
And as you know, I've uh always tried to thank all of you for everything you've done.
I'm insufficient at it, but nevertheless.
So that's the uh latest on it.
Now here in the Hill.com.
Fears of wounding Obama weigh heavily on Democrats ahead of vote.
This is the Syrian use of force authorization.
Ahead of vote.
Worry about wounding Obama, the left in Hollywood, afraid, the anti-war left, afraid to come out and be critical because they're afraid to be seen as anti-black.
That's what Ed Asner and Mike Farrell said.
So even leftists walk in perpetual fear of being thought of or called racists.
And that's what got Republicans' hands tied, in part.
Any criticism of Obama is said to be criticism of a black man, is said to be racist, and not even the left wants to go there.
The prospect of wounding President Obama, weighing heavily on Democrat lawmakers as they decide their votes on Syria.
I thought it was about the women and children of Syria.
I thought it was about now rolling back the Iranian nuclear program.
It's still about Obama.
Everything's about Obama.
This is this is not healthy.
This is sick.
Foreign policy's never been about the president.
It's never been about protecting a president.
Presidents are supposed to be smart enough to be able to do that themselves.
There's no support in the House for this.
Probably not in the Senate either.
And all of these Democrats, these anti-war Democrats, the congressional black Caucasians have been told to shut up and not say anything.
Can't afford To embarrass Obama.
Why not?
Because we can't give the Republicans a victory.
We can't give the right a victory.
This is just mind-boggling.
I just're surrounded by ineptness, incompetence, and a policy that's by design.
All of that is part of it.
Incompetence by design.
The incompetence is not by design, but it's apparent.
But the end result of the incompetence is by design, the decline of the United States.
It's just frustrating as heck.
And people are fed up and they're looking for ways to show that they don't want to be a nation to decline.
And they don't want to be anything other than number one.
And they don't want their history convoluted.
They don't want it corrupted.
They don't want the history taught erroneously.
They don't want the multicultural curriculum.
Travis and Charleston, South Carolina, I'm glad you waited, sir.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, how are you doing, right?
First of all, okay.
I'm fine.
Thank you very much.
I think the reason Obama all of a sudden decided to go through Congress was because he wanted to hurt our our base.
He wanted to divide the base from the Republicans in Congress that are for going bombing Syria.
Maybe.
Although I Travis, to be very honest with you, I don't think he's got to worry about the Republican base.
It's already fracturing and without anything he's doing.
The Republican base is being discarded by the Republican Party.
I'm sorry to be so blunt.
Can you explain to me why the Republican Party doesn't push back on anything?
Not anything.
I don't care.
Amnesty?
Obamacare?
This?
Well, they are pushing back on this.
Because the overwhelming poll numbers, the American people are overwhelmingly opposed to this.
100% over opposed to this.
But but folks, the Republican Party is, I think, looking for a new base.
They're tired of the conservatives.
But Obama is bypassing Congress.
The GOP bypasses its base.
If what Obama's trying to do here is dispirit the Republican base by having the GOP go along with him.
I I don't know that that's going to end up happening.
But I'll I'll I'll think about that.
Here's here's uh Montres in Newport News, Virginia.
Hi, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Wow, what an honor it is to talk to you.
Well, thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
Yes, it's um it's it's just a privilege.
Um get right to what I wanted to say.
Um I uh Syria.
That's all that's in the news right now is Syria.
You hear it on every news source of, of course, you know, talk radio is your show is speaking on it too.
But um it's like the forefront of every single thing.
And I feel like, you know, there's such a golden opportunity that's you know, that's you know for people.
Um the Affordable Health Care Act.
It's coming up in Congress October 1st.
And here Congress is meeting.
It was fresh on the ideas of of senators and congressmen to bring forth this because so many people, so many Americans, me, uh every you know, don't want this, you know, to to you know be pushed on us.
And now Syria is taking the forefront.
And it's it's just, you know, it's it's Let me tell here's I know what you're saying.
You're you're worried Syria is distracting everybody from Obamacare and and uh and amnesty and all that, and it it is in places.
Uh but I I I don't know that a lot of people think that Obama created Syria out of clear blue in order to divert people's attention.
People think that that kind of thing is possible.
He drew the red line back last summer, don't forget.
Uh But Obama didn't fire off the uh the chemical weapons uh at the time he wanted them fired off.
But uh I look I understand your concern about this, and you you you think that it's a it's a ploy that will allow Obamacare to not be opposed, no energy for it, and so forth.
I'm not so shitty.
American people haven't forgotten about it, and we don't let them forget about it on this program.
I've got the entire Obamacare stack here.
News is continuing to be made.
The Heritage Foundation has their morning bell blog today.
Ten ways Obamacare isn't working.
Um more companies have announced that they're getting rid of insurance coverage.
IBM and a couple of others have said no longer can they afford it.
They're they're they're pulling out.
Unions are furious, and this is not subsided.
Just because Syria is in the news, does it because people are affected by it every day, Montrast, it has not gone away.
And it doesn't have to be discussed a hundred percent all the time every day for it to be uh on people's minds.
There's also a story here, but the new American dream.
It's not what you what the new American dream is, is not a house.
It's having no debt.
According to a service ABC News.
Uh but you know, the the the the exchanges are not ready to go.
The um Obamacare guides these people, these these uh what are they navigators?
They haven't they they're way behind in hiring and training them.
The whole thing's a mess.
And and I I don't think Obama really cares about that.
He doesn't care that it's not ready.
He doesn't care that it may not work.
All he knows is that it's going to be the only option people have if everything else about it works out.
And with more insurance companies pulling out and more companies converting to part-time and to eliminate employer coverage.
The mess has not gone away, Montres, but I appreciate your fear.
Understand your concern.
I gotta take a brief time out.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
Grace in Pearl and Texas.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, R. It's a pleasure to talk to you.
But speaking of movies, I'm so thankful that your time traveling horse liberty goes to the first Thanksgiving.
You couldn't have picked a better historical event this year.
This November, a new cartoon is coming out called Free Birds.
It stars Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson.
And the synopsis of the movie on the website reads Two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks must put aside their differences and team up to travel back in time to change the course of history and get turkeys off the holiday menu for good.
And the trailer depicts the pilgrims as malicious, vicious, bad guys.
I've heard I don't know how this movie's gonna end, but all the kids this year at Thanksgiving are going to be refusing to be.
I've heard about this.
This folks, this is outrageous.
It's a cartoon.
They can do what they want to do.
Have turkeys go back the original Thanksgiving take turkey off the menu and portray the pilgrims as a bunch of mean-spirited extremist haters.
And and this is the kind of bastardization that kids have been subjected to.
I don't know how long.
Captain Planet cartoon shows on uh on Saturday morning distorting the view, the history of America.
And that's that's what Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims corrects.
So this it's outrageous what is being done to American history for kids.
Just another reason why.
Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims is for your kids now more than ever.
