	Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
	Yes, America's Anchorman is away, and this is your undocumented Anchorman sitting in, Mark Stein, live from Ice Station EIB in uh far northern New Hampshire, just a few miles south of the Canadian border.
	So if you're an American CEO re relocating to Canada for that great corporate tax regime they got up there, do swing by and say hello.
	We love to see you.
	Rush is away for a few days.
	Eric Erickson will be here later this week, and uh Rush returns next week.
	I hope you had a uh uh a great Labor Day.
	Uh I did, and we're all fired up and ready to go.
	Mr. Snerdley is uh in New York, uh doing valiant work down there.
	He flew up from uh West Palm Beach uh in full recline all the way.
	So he had no he had no He's gonna do the show in full recline.
	That's how reclined he is.
	Uh so he's uh he had uh no that I don't think there is a Ferguson New Hampshire.
	I don't know I don't know who they would shoot there either, to be honest.
	Uh it's a uh it's uh this this state is uh what is it?
	It's one of the least uh diverse state.
	I'm the I'm the only diversity in New Hampshire.
	I I I think it's 99.8% entirely non-diverse, and the point two percent is me.
	Uh that's the most diverse bit of uh uh of New Hampshire.
	Um but uh but Mr. Surdley's uh their HR, I think is monitoring is monitoring the show from home.
	Uh that's how that's how concerned they are about the quality of the guest hosts on this show.
	And we will take all your calls.
	1-800-282-2882.
	I gather there's uh there's some technical issues with the call screening machine.
	Uh so uh if I get your name and town wrong, uh there are it's apparently uh some problems with the display on that.
	But if you want to make sure uh I get your name and town uh right, then uh just post them to uh Jennifer Lawrence's iCloud file because I'm looking at that uh right now.
	Uh it was a uh it was a big news weekend.
	Uh that's that's a reference, by the way, if you're not uh up to date on uh cutting edge pop cultural icons.
	A hacker claims to have hacked into the computer of Jennifer Lawrence, who's a big movie star, and to have uh I think he his latest thing now is he claims to have video of her performing a sex act, uh, and he's apparently auctioning it on the internet.
	Um and I gather he also claims to have explicit video of Barack Obama that shocked many of his fans.
	It's it's apparently explicit video of Obama performing a full day of work in the Oval Office.
	But uh but experts are already doubt doubting the uh the veracity of it.
	There's a there's a scene of him uh in the video, supposedly talking to his national security team.
	But uh people think it's yeah, it it is.
	I mean, people think it's been been doctored.
	There's a there's a small hole in the oval office carpet, and Obama's wearing plus fours, and the director of national intelligence uh appears on closer inspection to be the barman at the Vineyard Country Club.
	So there's some question as to whether this hacked video of uh perform Obama performing a full day's work uh is in fact uh in fact genuine.
	Anyway, uh Obama is uh is away all week.
	So what's new you're asking?
	Uh but it's different this time, uh, because he's actually away in Europe.
	He's gone to see the Baltic states, the leaders of the Baltic states, Estonia, uh Latvia, and Lithuania, to quote, reassure them.
	This is the word.
	I love the I love the the uh the dutifulness of the media when uh when a new word is introduced into circulation, and the word that Obama of the the Obama word of the week is reassurance.
	So the trip to the Baltics is to reassure uh the leaders of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania that he's got their back, which means uh you know Putin should be invading in about uh in you know four days' time, something like that.
	Uh and then he's flying on to the uh NATO summit in Wales.
	Uh it's been revealed That he has been getting news on a daily basis about the rise of ISIS for over a year now, since last June, June 2013, in what they call the presidential Daily Brief.
	And uh I think it was Catherine Heridge at Fox News who broke this uh story.
	The difference between Obama and his predecessors is that Obama only gets the presidential daily brief in memo form.
	The others uh his his predecessors, Bush, had had the guys come in, the big intelligence guys come in and brief it to him live in person so that if he had a question, he could ask them the question there, or they could if he wasn't clear as to what the significance of this little factoid they were presenting to him, uh then Bush would ask them a few questions.
	Obama gets gets them in memo form, so he's getting he's had like 365 memos about the rise of ISIS, and I guess they're all piled up in in the corner somewhere underneath the signed photo of him with uh Jay-Z and Beyonce or whatever it is.
	Uh, but apparently he has not come back to the intelligence community with any further questions.
	Uh so he's had these things, he makes no comment on them, he's been getting them for like six months, and then he goes out in January and tells them that these guys are the uh the JVs, the junior varsity team of of uh of jihad.
	Yeah, that's uh that's working out.
	Anyway, Labor Day has uh has come and gone.
	The summer is over, party time is over, it's time to get serious.
	And so the uh the president is pivoting, pivoting, as he likes to say.
	I don't I don't think people said pivoting before the Obama era.
	I don't recall any other president pivoting until he came along.
	But he now pivots, he pivots from the Middle East to the Pacific, uh he pivots from health care to the economy.
	I like the way he pivots when he reads the teleprompter.
	Um he pivots left and then he pivots right and then he pivots left again.
	It's like watching Yeah, he he does.
	It's like the the world's slowest ping pong match.
	It's uh pivot pivot pivot pivot.
	Um anyway, uh Labor Day's over, so Obama is now pivoting from uh golf to fundraisers.
	Uh that's how serious things are.
	Uh and he was talking about he was talking about uh that if he's telling fundraisers, these are guys who paid a huge these are supposedly smart rich guys who've paid a fortune to be in the presence of the Great One.
	And so he's telling these guys who paid thousands of dollars to be in his presence that if you watch the nightly news, it feels like the world is falling apart.
	But it isn't.
	It's just, you know, you watch the nightly news and there's people being beheaded all over Iraq and Syria and Putin's uh taking the Ukraine and uh the jihad boys have taken the Libyan embassy in Tripoli.
	And you're thinking, wait a minute, didn't I read that story two years ago?
	No, no, that was that was the other Libyan facility in Benghazi.
	They've now taken the main embassy in Tripoli, and they're gambling and sporting in the pool in the embassy compound.
	And uh there's uh th there's all this stuff going on, and he says, not to matter, the world's always been messy.
	There's all these crazy foreigners running around out there pulling all this stuff.
	It just seems bad now.
	It seems worse now because we've got all this social media.
	And not a single, not one of the rich, smart guys in the room laughed their heads off at Obama when he said this.
	Uh but it's getting bad out there for him.
	Uh Frank Bruni, who's a New York Times guy, has written this piece called Obama's Messy Words in the New York Times.
	Uh, and he's saying his his line is like the obvious one.
	Even if you haven't got a strategy, even if you haven't got a strategy, why would you stand up at a press conference and say, oh, by the way, I don't have a strategy.
	Uh and so the the New York Times guy says not having a strategy is understandable.
	But announcing as much, it's hard to see any percentage in that.
	It gives no comfort to Americans, it puts no fear in our enemies.
	Uh, just as curious was what Obama followed that up with.
	And then he goes on about this social media thing.
	It's not the terror folks, it's the tweets.
	Uh And he he engages in the bit.
	Then he feels, okay, I've been hard on Obama there, so I've got to do a bit of bush bashing here, so I didn't like the mission accomplished.
	I didn't like all the Texan swagger.
	I didn't like all that axis of evil stuff.
	And then he goes back to Obama.
	And uh these guys, these guys are beginning to wake up to the fact that the planet is falling to pieces uh on Obama's watch.
	And uh and Obama, uh, you pay thousands of dollars, you're big rich Democrat fundraiser, big time Democrat donor, and you pay thousands and thousands of dollars to get the inside word from Obama himself live in person, because unless you his golf partner, you don't get to spend a lot of time with him, and he tells you that it's all the fault of social media, and nobody laughed.
	Nobody laughed.
	Uh as I said, the US Embassy in Tripoli is now in the hands of the Jihad boys.
	Uh they they posted video.
	You know, the funny thing as well, by the way, we we talk about social media as this uh this thing that Westerners invented and developed and is incredibly sophisticated, and it's actually liberals, progressives, who who make the best use of social media.
	You know, say, oh, the Romney campaign didn't know how to use social media.
	Obama used social media.
	Michelle Obama uh knows all about hashtags.
	Uh she posed for a photograph with that um pouty sad face holding up the hashtag saying hashtag bring back our girls about all these kidnapped girls in Nigeria, uh and uh those girls are still kidnapped.
	They've been sold in sex slavery now, and uh the hashtag didn't work.
	But the social media works great for these uh for the f for all these ISIS guys, all these Jihad guys, they're putting up their beheadings, there's uh pictures of headless girls all over the streets of Mosul, they're all over the internet, they're beheading people on YouTube.
	Um the the uh the these guys who've just taken over the US Embassy in Tripoli, they're putting they put that up.
	They put the video of them all diving into the pool having a they're fully clothed because they're like a bit uh they're discreet, these Muslim lads, and they don't like to show anything between the kneecaps and the chest.
	And they're all diving into the pool of the US Embassy in Tripoli, and they're posting it on social media.
	And so here's the question for the left.
	You guys think all the old kind of cold war, stern faced Dick Cheney types, that Don Rumsfeld, that's all irrelevant.
	In the new world, it's about soft power, it's the information age, it's the knowledge economy, it's about communication, it's about knowing all the stuff the cool kids know about, uh, like the Twitter and the YouTube and the Facebook.
	And it turns out that fellows like to chop your head off know how to use YouTube, uh Facebook and Twitter better than Obama and all the cool kids he's got surrounding him in his Oval Office team.
	That's what it's come to.
	He's not even a good tweeter.
	Uh one-eight hundred-282-2882, Mark Stein in Farush.
	We'll take lots of your calls straight ahead as we launch another week of excellence and broadcasting.
	Mark Stein in Farush on the EIB network.
	Uh with all with everything that's going on in the world, uh, what what has uh what has America's Secretary of State been been up to?
	Oh Obama said that uh America doesn't have a strategy.
	And uh and so uh presumably uh the lead the greatest thinkers in the Obama administration are now working on this strategy.
	Uh John Kerry is a delightful photograph of uh John Kerry spending Labor Day kite kite boarding, kite boarding.
	That's not uh that's not a form of torture.
	If Don Rumsfeld were kiteboarding, it would be a form of torture.
	But apparently uh this is uh a form of water sport.
	And John Kerry is uh is photographed kiteboarding off Nantucket, and he's not wearing his usual uh buttock hugging electric yellow lycra.
	He's wearing what uh a few years ago would have been his uh Auntie Mabel's bloomers, but are now apparently the uh the the preferred garb for for doing cool sports like uh kiteboarding.
	Maybe he could kite board Over to Tripoli and kiteboard around the pool at the US Embassy compound with all the jihad boys uh currently swimming in the US Embassy pool and uh and ask them politely whether they'd like to respect American sovereignty.
	But at any rate, it's heartening to know that John Kerry has found the time to take up the sport, because he he windsurfed.
	I thought I thought that was Kerry's sport off Nantucket.
	He liked to windsurf off Nantucket, but now he's apparently moved on and he's kiteboarding uh off Nantucket because he's got he's got a fairly light uh job and doesn't take up a lot of time, so he's had plenty of spare time uh to learn a new hobby.
	So he's pictured there in his Auntie Mabel's bloomers uh kite boarding off Nantucket.
	Meanwhile Putin uh tells Jose Manuel Baruthel, who is the president of the European Commission, uh that if he wants to, he can take Kiev in two weeks.
	Uh this is from uh the Italian uh newspaper La Republica.
	Uh I'll say it in Italian, in effect, uh as well.
	Sevoglio prendo Kiev in due setemane.
	Uh uh so Putin Putin tells the this is just his small talk.
	This is his this is the way he breaks the ice when he meets foreign leaders.
	So he meets the president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, and says to him, Hey, if I wanted to, I could take Kiev in two weeks.
	Two weeks.
	Meanwhile, uh John Kerry is going kiteboarding.
	Kiteboarding.
	Timing is everything.
	Timing is uh is everything.
	And the the the date these guys have in mind now is January twenty seventeen.
	That's when Obama leaves office.
	It's pretty clear they've got the run of the planet right now.
	Uh Libya is another failed state, uh uh th there's problems basically from West Africa now all the way over to the Hindu Kush to Afghanistan.
	Uh he's been told he's got a free hand in Ukraine.
	Uh Obama never makes a speech except to say either that I've I've got no strategy or to take stuff off the table.
	He's taken so much off he said, oh we're not gonna have military action over Ukraine or whatever.
	He's taken so much stuff off the table uh that the table is bare.
	And these guys get it.
	The Chinese get it.
	The Iranians get it.
	They don't know what's going to happen in November twenty sixteen.
	It might be that Hillary Rodham Clinton gets elected president and they got another eight years to do this.
	But the trick the trick with all this stuff is timing timing timing.
	Uh if General Galtieri, who invaded the Falklands as a distraction from the Argentine economy, if he'd invaded the Falklands three years earlier, uh the Labour government in Britain would probably have entered into uh pointless negotiations through the UN and the Argentine flag would still be flying uh on those islands.
	Because once things happen, and a bit of time goes by, they never get reversed.
	They never get reversed.
	Uh but he happened to make the mistake of doing it while Mrs. Thatcher was in power uh and she dispatched uh a big task force and they kicked the Argentines off uh those islands and sank pretty much the whole Argentine Navy.
	Uh so timing is everything in these things.
	And these guys have got to figure out suppose America sobers up.
	I I know it looks like Hillary's gonna win this thing in a walk and we'll have we'll have another eight years to pull all this stuff.
	But suppose Amer just suppose America sobers up and decides to elect a serious president, and all the advisers are sitting around in the Kremlin and the Chinese Politburo and in the uh uh at the uh Grand Ayatollah's uh drawing room in Tehran, and uh they say, well, suppose America gets serious and likes a serious president, and everyone falls around laughing, going, ha ha, yeah, right, like that's likely to happen.
	Ha ha pull the other one.
	But suppose it does.
	Suppose America did get serious.
	That means that means that you gotta pull all this stuff uh that you're gonna do now.
	Uh you've got to do it.
	You you're gonna have to do it uh before January twenty seventeen.
	So there's the clock that's ticking, not just for Obama, but for all the mischief makers in the plan on the planet, too.
	And it's and it's critical that.
	It's critical.
	Because Because they've got a they know that there's an absence of American power.
	And and the incentive therefore is to be bolder and bolder and bolder before the clock runs out on the Obama era.
	And and uh it's like it's nobody wants to have a foreign policy election.
	It's actually probably the one thing on which the American people agree with Obama.
	They got sick of wars, they got sick of ten years of war, getting nowhere, going nowhere, uh not worth it, not but it doesn't work like that.
	Everything everything in your house is made in a foreign country.
	Uh everything in Walmart is made in a foreign country.
	Everything requires, requires open sea lanes and global order to get all that cheap junk made in China into your rec room.
	And that's why uh when the world starts to crumble and fall apart at the edges, it's a serious business.
	Hey, great to be with you.
	Don't forget, don't forget, uh, if you can't if you can't take all these sinister foreign guest hosts clogging up your airwaves, you can always go to Rush Limbaugh.com and become a Rush 24-7 subscriber, and it's like he's never gone away.
	It's like he's living in your head twenty-four hours a day.
	You can get him any time of the day or night in any form you like.
	You can get him in print, you can get him in audio, you can get uh the ditto cam, you got video from the old TV shows.
	Uh you can get him any which way you want, any time of the day, just by going to Rush Limbaugh.com and becoming a Rush 24-7 subscriber.
	Uh I was uh talking about the strategy that uh the Obama's revelation has got no strategy on ISIS.
	And people say it was very difficult to have a strategy on uh on ISIS, because there's like uh who knows who can tell which bunch of crazies we ought to be on the side of in that part of the world.
	Uh like uh like in Syria uh, for example, the uh the the fella who was um the the the American who was killed while fighting for ISIS in Syria, Douglas MacArthur McCain.
	By the way, isn't that just the perfect name for an American jihadist?
	Uh that is that is that is said doesn't it stir the blood?
	Doesn't it make you think what a great country only in America, only in America can can a guy grow up in Minnesota with the name Douglas MacArthur McCain and become a head hacker for ISIS.
	Doesn't it make you proud?
	Does it make it pr well that's wonderful?
	Douglas MacArthur McCain.
	No relation, by the way.
	I don't think he's Meghan McCain's brother or anything.
	Um Douglas MacArthur McCain was was well, we're not sure whether he's Meghan McCain's brother.
	I don't want to be rude or anything.
	But a lot of the time she sounds like she's lost her head too.
	Anyway, enough of that.
	Uh Douglas MacArthur McCain.
	Douglas MacArthur McCain, uh, who was killed while fighting for the ISIS guys in Syria.
	And um and and uh Josh Ernest uh credited the fellows who killed him, who are the the uh what are they called?
	The free army, the free Syrian army.
	These are the these are the moderate jihadists uh that we're supposed to be on the side of.
	And uh they got caught up with this guy, Douglas MacArthur McCain, and they killed him.
	The the the free so the Free Syrian army, that's easy, right?
	So it's like Syria, ISIS the bad guys, Assad is a bad guy, but the Free Syrian army, these are the good guys.
	Uh the free no, the Free Syrian army uh are the ones who've also kidnapped all these uh Fijian peacekeepers who are guarding the Golan Heights.
	They've taken into custody all these Fijian peacekeepers.
	And actually it's the situation's pretty looking pretty grim for them.
	The UN policy, by the way, uh for peacekeepers is when anybody approaches you, you surrender to them.
	That's the UN policy.
	That we saw that in R in in you don't have to surrender to them in French, they'll take it in any language.
	They uh they uh in Rwanda uh they put Nick Nolte in that Rw Hotel Rwanda movie, playing the sort of grizzled uh he was uh originally a Canadian general, but they gave the part to Nick Nolte because that's how racist Hollywood is.
	Uh so they g cast Nick Nolte as the Hollywood general uh and and and try to make a heroic movie out of the Rwanda genocide.
	And there's no heroism because Under UN rules of engagement, if anybody comes up and says uh hello, we're the jihad guys who live next door and we'd like to uh we'd like to kidnap you, you're just supposed to surrender your weapons and surrender to them.
	And the Fijian guys did.
	Fijians, by the way, they are tough fighters.
	They're they're tough uh they've got a serious army.
	They did good stuff in uh in Iraq.
	They uh they were I think they were guarding the Iraqi currency as it traveled around from bank to bank uh at one point.
	No, they're way tougher than they're way tougher than Uyghurs.
	The Fiji I'm being serious here.
	The Fijian guys are tough guys.
	But the UN rules of engagement say you surrender.
	So the very next day then, these free Syrian army guys come along and uh the it's Philippines guarding.
	So the Fijians have been kidnapp kidnapped, so they put the Filipinos in at the Golan Heights.
	This is all in the last couple of days.
	And the Filipinos say no.
	We don't want to be taken into we don't care what the they disregard, they disobey the UN commander's instruction to be taken into capture to be captured by the Free Syrian army.
	Uh why?
	Because they understand that the rules uh that uh the Obama may not have a strategy, and the UN may not have a strategy, and nobody may not have a strategy.
	But if you're on the front line there and you've looked at all these tweets of people with their head being chopped off, you know the rules have changed.
	It's not like the old days, they just uh take your capture for a couple of days and then release you.
	Uh so the Filipinos said no to the Free Syrian army, who are supposed to be the good guys, the guys who killed this American jihadist.
	Uh they killed him and they didn't behead Douglas MacArthur McCain, but they beheaded six other ISIS fighters that they captured with him and then posted the photographs on Facebook as part of their excellent use of social media that that the president is so admiring of.
	Uh so these are the guys that these are the moderates.
	It's what Andy McCarthy uh my my old uh comrade Andy McCarthy at National Review calls moderate beheadings.
	You if you go if you're not a a connoisseur of Facebook and Twitter, you it may just look like any old headless corpse there.
	But in fact, when you look at head the official position of the United States is that when you see a guy with his head chopped off by ISIS lying in the ground, that's an extremist.
	That's extremist radical beheading.
	But when you see a guy lying on the ground with his head chopped off by the free Syrian army, that's moderate beheading.
	That's sensible centrist, nonpartisan reach across the aisle and slice your head off with the scimitar beheading uh that sensible people of a moderate disposition can all get behind.
	This this is you begin I don't wish to sympathize with Obama, but you begin to understand the difficulty in working out a strategy uh between the extremist beheaders and the moderate beheaders.
	Let's go to Jeff in Indianapolis, Indiana.
	Jeff, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh show.
	Pleasure to talk to you, Mr. Stein.
	My pleasure.
	Great to have you with us.
	Well, a couple of things.
	Uh first I'll get to uh thing where Mr. Obama, our president, thinks that everybody in this country needs a wave, not a race.
	He did, he did say that, didn't he?
	He had a touch of the old Elmer Fuds and uh he uh had difficulty rolling his Rs, uh which sounds a lot ruder in British English, but is in fact just a physical.
	It really would be.
	Yeah, I promise every I promise everyone is going to get a wave.
	That's uh that's pretty w he said uh that that's that's what he was trying to say, but it it came out wrong.
	If that had been George Bush, I mean that's all CNN would be talking about for the next three weeks, you know, like the disappearing plane or whatever they want to talk about next.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, no, no, that's uh that that's true.
	What else is on your mind, Jeff?
	So the I the ISIS I mean uh our president had it's obvious he had information about this a long, long time ago.
	And he just chooses he chooses to sit on his hands and play golf and fundraise and do everything that he wants rather than, you know, I mean, if this is going to be an issue, make it an issue.
	You know, I'm get off your butt and do something.
	I mean, there's not just pro problems over there, there's problems here too, and he's not taking care of anything.
	Well, you know, what what he he the the in the thing is he's committed to the transformation of the United States.
	You know, so his interest in ISIS getting a nuclear bomb, uh dirty nuke, uh, or the Iranians getting a dirty nuke, or the North Koreans uh selling uh their nuclear technology to the Iranians, which uh has just come up in the last couple of days.
	His interest i i in all that is that uh basically he doesn't want them uh destroying the United States before he's had a chance to finish destroying it.
	He's committed to the fundamental tr domestic transformation, and his only interest in foreign affairs, I would say, is like twofold.
	He d he he's uh he doesn't want them getting in the way of that job, uh, but he he also uh operates from the core uh left wing principle, uh, which is what it is, that uh that any alternative to American power is better.
	And it doesn't matter which of these incoherent crazy groups, uh whether it's in Libya, uh whether it's in Syria, whether it's in Iraq, uh which of them comes out on top.
	Uh the point is the vacuum of American power is the point.
	He is he is basically said America is withdrawing from the world.
	He's he takes the view.
	If you if you look go back to his earliest uh meetings with foreign leaders, uh when he always talked about everything, uh he what was it he said at that meeting with Cha when Chavez was going on about uh the Cuban Revolution or whatever it was, or the Cuban the Bay of Pigs, the Bay of Pigs, and Obama said, Well, don't blame me, I wasn't even born yet.
	In other words, anything before Obama is part of that bad old American history that he has repudiated.
	And under him, his policy is basically unless he absolutely has to, unless he absolutely has to.
	And he doesn't to a large degree.
	When these Yazidi guys were all dying on the mountaintop and the foreign papers were covering it, uh, then he had to and in fact other foreign uh air forces and things had begun doing drops and all the rest of it.
	Then he had to get in on it, because it was making him look non humanitarian.
	Um but other than that, Jeff, he's really his whole in he's got no interest in the planet except that he thinks it would be better off without America.
	That's basically his view, Jeff.
	Well, just think about it though, if uh what are these other countries do get it's confirmed that they do have nuclear arms and Obama got over there and he was the one that disarmed them.
	Boyd, not only would he have stopped the the war and Osama bin Laden, he would have disarmed these countries of their nuclear weapons as well.
	How wouldn't that just be the cherry on the Sunday for him?
	Yeah, well, at a certain level, yes.
	But don't forget, look at it from these guys' point of view.
	Uh if you look at it from the Iranians' point of view, or the North one reason why we have to tiptoe around the North Korea, which is a basket case.
	It's got a GDP down there in in uh at undetectable levels somewhere around uh Zimbabwe.
	It makes nothing, it exports n it's exports nothing except knock off Viagra.
	Um but it's somehow managed to become a nuclear power.
	And the re and the reason it did that, once it did that, you can't you can't mess around with uh with with with Pyongyang and Kim Jong un.
	You can't mess around with him the way you messed around with Colonel Gaddafi.
	Colonel Gaddafi made the mistake in 2003, after the Iraq war, of giving up his nuclear program.
	Uh and as a result, he wound up uh being uh knifed to death, rather unplu uh we he got some knives in rather unpleasant places, uh and then he uh he took a bullet uh uh at uh close quarters when he was taken into capture.
	He ended up very messily, uh a rotten stinking body in the back of a pickup truck, uh, because he didn't have nuclear weapons.
	And this is this is the point.
	These guys figure out that the way to the way to keep America off your back is to become a nuclear power.
	And Obama is relatively cool with that.
	Obama I believe Obama is actually in favor.
	He thinks Iran deserves to become a nuclear power out of his great respect for Persian culture or whatever it is, but also because he thinks it would be a stabilizing factor in a post-American Middle East.
	This is how crazy uh this is how crazy the guy currently running the global superpower is in terms of that.
	Mark Stein in Farush will take more of your calls straight ahead.
	Mark Stein in Farush on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
	If you w if you want to know, if you want to know, by the way, what the most expensive government on the planet is doing while the planet is imploding all over the map.
	The Washington Post has a story today on a uh a multimillion dollar National Institutes of Health Study now in its fourth year, where they've been studying why lesbians have a higher obesity rate than heterosexual women and gay men.
	And they have come up uh with the that it is uh a summary that shows nearly three quarters of lesbians are overweight or obese.
	And they say that it's lower they've concluded they've concluded this is your tax dollars at at work at LGBT outreach work have included that lower athletic self esteem among lesbians may lead to higher rates of obesity.
	And the study has also found that gay and bisexual males had a greater desire for toned muscles than straight men.
	Because like straight men are just down in the man cave uh with the six pack of beer, uh watching the TV while you gay guys are working out, so they look great on the beach at Fire Island.
	I'm stereotyping there.
	What's what's that, Mr. Yeah, but no, no, straight men look fabulous, and there's the survey is that lesbian women and again if I I apologize if I'm if I'm stereotyping here.
	But but this this survey just took millions of dollars of your money to to confirm the stereotypes.
	The lesbian women are obese because they have low self esteem and gay men look fabulous.
	And they've spent they spent their money on that, but also on um the Washington Post story, uh they've uh the government also considers the government's the government's uh study of duck genitals.
	Um this has come up that the government has been studying duck genitals.
	They don't have a strategy on ISIS, but they have a strategy on duck genitals, because you never know when you might need one.
	So the the government strategy on duck genitals has found it's called conflict social behavior and evolution, which would actually be a great name for a study on the rise of ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
	But they didn't do one.
	Instead, they did a study on duck genitals.
	And they've discovered that duck vaginas run uh clockwise in a corkscrew, uh while the penises run counterclockwise in a s in a corkscrew.
	And so uh the duck the duck he's like well, you know how it is when you've got like a home improvement project and you're trying to get the threads wrong and all the rest of it.
	It's the same with duck genitals.
	The the the gander uh that's a goose, isn't it?
	Well he's uh we I don't know whether he can do it.
	But anyway, the male duck, what is that?
	A mallard?
	I can't remember now.
	The mallard.
	The mallard, when he sees the duck he wants to hit on, his problem is that he's got a counterclockwise penis and she's got a clockwise vagina.
	Um and and uh HR HR, who is a scholar in this field says there once was a man with a corkscrew penis who searched all the world for a corkscrew venus.
	But alas when he found one, oh such dread for the corkscrew Venus had a left hand thread.
	That's courtesy of HR.
	And HR I HR, that's like uh he did it in four lines.
	Your study, your four-year government study on duck genitalia called whatever it is, conflict social behavior and evolution, which as I said will be a great title uh for a study of the difference between the extremist beheaders and the moderate beheaders in Syria, but instead was applied to the We are we have got the best strategy.
	You know, Putin, he hasn't got a strategy on duck genitals.
	When the whole duck genital situation blows up in his face, he's gonna be the one going out on TV and saying, Oh, sorry, I don't have a I don't have a strategy on docogenitals.
	I don't know how we overlooked it.
	He's the one who's gonna be doing it.
	But these guys were on top of duck genitals.
	Your government is on top of duck genitals round the clock.
	Mark sign for Rush, Mordecan.
	Hey, I got I gotta say, uh Canadians of all the best lines, uh my my fellow Canadian Ted Cruz gave a speech on Saturday uh in Dallas.
	And uh I thought this was actually I thought this was a pretty good line.
	Uh he he said, uh, have you heard about the new Obama diet?
	It's uh it's terrific, it's fail-safe, it works.
	All you gotta do is let Putin eat your lunch every day.
	That was uh Ted Cruz uh speaking in Dallas.
