Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 podcast.
Did you see it last night, folks?
Did you happen to see it?
I can't.
I I I'm when Obama finds out what happened last night.
Oh man.
And he he may not.
If he wasn't watching the game, he may not have known.
If the Intel services don't tell him what happened last night, he may never know, and that may end up being good.
It could be bad out there, folks.
It could really be bad.
Greetings, great to have you.
Rush Linbaugh again behind the one and only EIB network from the one uh golden EIB microphone at the one and only EIB network.
We're in Los Angeles all week.
It's great to have you here.
The telephone number 800-28288-2, the email address L Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
Did you see where the safety for the Kansas City Chiefs intercepting Tom Brady last night?
A pick six, a gentleman by the name of Hussein Abdullah.
Not to be confused with the king of Saudi Arabia, whose name is King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz.
This is Hussein Abdullah of the Kansas City Chiefs, not the king of Saudi Arabia.
King Abdullah Ibn Abdullahiz.
And what happened was that Hussein Abdullah intercepted Mr. Brady and returned to pick to the end zone for a touchdown for the Chiefs.
And immediately Mr. Hussein Abdullah slid through the end zone and then bowed with his helmeted head on the Arrowhead Stadium turf and prayed.
And immediately he was flagged.
And the Chiefs, his team were penalized 15 yards for what is called unsportsmanlike conduct.
Now, the NFL's already in trouble.
Big time trouble with all of the domestic abuse and spousal abuse.
Wait till Obama hears about this.
If he hears about this.
The odds are Obama is unlikely to hear about any of these things unless he was watching the game.
We find out that Obama doesn't even attend 60% of his daily intelligence briefings.
Remember, we were told by somebody, some White House spokesman, I forget the term, but we we were told that Obama is deeply ingrained in intelligence.
I mean, he is so in tune with intelligence.
He doesn't need the daily briefs.
He knows what he's going to be told before they walk into the room.
And as such, he doesn't have to waste his time.
So the presidential daily brief is presented to him in writing.
It is unknown whether he reads them, however.
And the the thing that has everybody talking today is how Obama totally blamed his intel community for not telling him what was really up with ISIS.
And yet people have gone back and found out that the intelligence community knew everything there was to know about ISIS and has been trying to tell Obama about it since 2012.
It didn't matter.
He still threw clapper and everybody else in his intelligence services under the bus in the Sunday night 60 minutes.
Oh, that's another thing.
Did you see the ratings for 60 minutes on Sunday night?
Tank, folks, Toilet City.
Nowhere.
Some of the lowest ratings 60 minutes had in a long time with the Obama interview.
You know what the excuse is?
There was no football lead-in.
CBS didn't have a late game.
So there was no football lead-in.
Nobody's saying that people tuned out of 60 minutes because Obama was on.
But that's what happened.
I mean, it was well known, CBS promoed all over the place that Steve Croft was going to be slow pitched softball pitching questions to Obama.
So if you're an Obama fan, it's an ideal time to watch.
But they didn't.
The ratings were really down, and nobody's talking, well, some people are talking about the trade publications out Here, like uh Variety and Hollywood Reporter and uh uh dateline and all they're all reporting 60 minutes uh horrible ratings performance of Sunday night, but none of them are even mentioning that Obama was on.
They're all just chalking it up to the fact that it was just too bad.
You know, there just wasn't any NFL game on CBS to give them a great lead in, which means that 60 minutes started on time, and it never does start on time in the football season, it always runs late because of the football game, but there wasn't one.
So anyway, uh what do you think is more likely Obama will condemn the NFL throwing a flag on a Muslim for praying?
By the way, the NFL said the flag was a mistake, he should not have been penalized.
There is no rule in the book that says you can't pray or genuflect after a touchdown.
They let Tebow do it.
You know, Christians get down on one knee or give the sign of the cross or look to the heavens and thank God for the touchdown.
Uh but Hussein Abdullah, again, not to be confused with King Abdullah, bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia, uh, actually got down on all fours and then lowered his head to the turf at Arrowhead Stadium.
I must say the turf looked good last night.
I I watched the first half, but really, really it hadn't looked that good since George Toma was uh was doing it.
I like the Chiefs in total fire engine red last night.
How about the Patriots?
Man, you know, Tom Brady has not had the best season, but it's over now.
The sports media is is just he's gone, he's finished.
Throw him away, bring in the substitute.
Let's start the new Brady, uh the new Patriots uh era with the new quarterback.
It's just amazing how fast the media chews people up and spits them out.
But that uh, and of course, what's happening now, their hearings this morning in Washington on the Secret Service.
This is an amazing thing, too.
We're learning now that this intruder actually got in the White House and got pretty deeply into the White House.
And so people are wondering how how can this happen?
You know, what what is going on there?
And it's not just this incident, Secret Service down in Venezuela, they had some uh fun times.
Their advanced team got down before Obama arrived, and they found the the brothels, they found the the bars with adult beverages, and they they frequented both.
Uh numerous examples, and people are testifying at Capitol Hill today, and just like when the IRS was being up uh up there being grilled about what they had done to the Tea Party, the answer seems to be, well, you know, if the culture.
We have a culture, and any time you hear the culture used as an excuse, it ought to be thrown out.
It's oftentimes used for some people as a justification for why they break the law.
Well, you know, that's the culture.
That's just the way they were raised.
Well, is that an excuse?
But what kind of culture could there be in the in the Secret Service that permits what is going on in there?
It's a it's a serious question.
It's a serious security question.
How in the world can that how can a guy jump the fence?
And get inside the White House.
The real question is, why did they want to throw him out when people jump the fence, i.e., cross the border, we welcome them and we give them a health check, and then we send them to a state to live with the family.
But this guy crosses the fence and everybody wants to throw him back.
It's not consistent, folks.
Simply not uh not consistent.
What?
No, no, I don't expect any grief uh for talking about football opening, uh opening the program.
Uh this is irrelevant societal cultural issue that's taking place here.
And that the NFL was quick.
Oh, I should have added the NFL was quick today to throw the referees last night overboard.
Should not have been a penalty on Mr. Hussein Abdullah.
Should not have happened.
It was a huge gaffe.
It was a big mistake.
They made sure That the uh that the world heard about that.
Time for a C I told you so.
A huge C, I told you so.
If you've been listening with any regularity, you've heard me say in recent weeks that our entire military engagement against ISIS or ISIL is poll driven.
It's happening because Obama's numbers have plunged, terms of uh national security, safety, these kinds of things.
That a month ago, Obama was calling these people the JV squad, and before that, he admitted he didn't have a strategy to deal with this.
And again, as the details will be forthcoming soon on the program, it's it's now widely known that that the intelligence community has known about ISIS for two years has been telling Obama or trying to tell me.
He just didn't care.
And the only when he when he started to care is when polling numbers started to plunge, and Democrat candidates, primarily for the Senate, but but pretty much everywhere started expressing concern to the Democrat National Committee in the White House saying, hey, you're leaving is now to dry here.
So Obama called a press conference and announced a big military action, and all of a sudden, after not caring and no strategy, and the JV team, bam.
We're launching a full scale military attack with no boots on the ground.
We're going to use the Iraqi army for that, but we're gonna bomb them to smithereens with our jets and our bombers.
And I said it was all political.
And in fact, there was uh a time I wasn't even discussing it much while it's all that was being talked about elsewhere in the media.
And I started getting emails.
Hey, Rush, you're not talking about this much.
Why?
And I answered it, and I want to replay that to set up this giant C I told you it's audio soundbite number one.
People have been saying, Rush, you haven't really been talking much about Obama and the new war on ISIS and uh Iraq and Syria.
I paused and I reflected, and I had to agree that that's probably true.
I mean, I have not gone wall to wall on it.
I certainly haven't spent the time that you can see spent on it on cable news.
And so I asked myself why.
And I think it's not that I don't care, please do not think that.
It's that I just don't believe anything going on right now.
I think all of this is smoke and mirrors.
I had to actually think about it, and I decided, I concluded that my instincts took over without my even being aware of it.
I just refuse to be drawn in to the daily media soap opera.
Because I'm telling you, all of this, what's going on right now is an effort by the Democrats in the White House and the media to prop up Obama's chops as a foreign policy president who is not bothered at all by engaging in military activity.
It is an effort that trying to suck everybody in to get them talking about that aspect of it.
As always, it's about Obama.
Will Obama do this?
Will Obama listen to the generals?
Will the generals overrule Obama?
I just get tired of it.
Three weeks ago, three weeks ago now, Obama didn't care about any of this.
They were the JV team, ISIS was.
Three weeks ago, he was not concerned about this at all.
And then the polls started coming in and started being reported, and that changed everything.
Even with that detailed and irrefutable explanation, there remained doubters.
People who thought that I was wrong.
Even after 26 years of proving that I'm right, yes, I still have doubters.
Because Rush, you're not talking about this enough.
This is important, and I said, Well, maybe it is, but I'm telling you, it's not legitimate from the White House standpoint.
They're only doing this because of polling data.
Can I prove it to you now?
Yes.
Let us return to the audio sound bites.
There's a giant C I told you so.
This is yesterday afternoon CNN's wolf.
The host Wolf Blitzer is reporting about a new presidential job approval poll.
Listen to this.
The president's approval rating remains essentially flat at only 44% approve of the job the president is doing compared with 43% before he ordered the airstrikes, uh basically statistically negligible as disapproval rating uncomfortably high at 52 percent.
How come he doesn't get a bounce?
Usually when the U.S. goes to war, the American public sides with the president in increasing numbers.
See, as Wolf Blitzer, CNN, worried, oh no, what happened?
How come Obama didn't get the bump?
All presidents get a bump into polls when they go to war.
How come Obama did?
What's unfair here?
It's just not right.
Bush got a bump when he went to Iraq and Clinton got a bump.
Well, Clinton was a bump.
But why didn't Obama get a bump?
Wolf's terribly upset about this.
See?
What's the media's primary concern?
It's exactly as I stated.
How does it help Obama or does it help at all?
And it didn't help, and they're beside themselves, proving what this is really all about.
And if you're still not convinced, we stay with CNN's Wolf yesterday afternoon after Wolf expressed his public confusion and his curiosity as to why this brave military action is not redounded into improved polling numbers for Obama.
He called in, noted CNN Newsweek, and Washington establishment uh journalist Gloria Borger.
And Wolf mentions all this to her and asks her what's up.
If you look at the president's numbers on the handling of terrorism, on ISIS, on foreign affairs, you'll see that he gets a bit of an uptick.
But the problem for the president, also with our numbers, is that less than 50% of people in this country, about 48%, trust him as commander in chief.
When you have that kind of a problem, it's not going to translate into a huge uptick in the polls, particularly even at this time.
And they're the public is also ambivalent, Wolf.
You know, they want these airstrikes, they don't want boots on the ground.
So it's very different from sort of what George W. Bush had post uh 9-11.
Yes, so unfair, isn't it?
It's just so unfair.
I mean, Obama didn't get his bump.
He got a little bit, but they still don't like him out.
It didn't work is the bottom line.
And they're beside themselves at CNN.
And that means they're beside themselves at the rest of the drive-bys.
This was all about raising Obama's polling numbers, as I said.
I don't mean to sound braggadocious, don't misunderstand.
I'm just interested in facts and people getting the truth on things.
Then she has to even massage it.
Well, you know, Wolf, when you have that kind of problem, it just isn't going to transfer...
The public, the really stupid, uh ambivalent, Wolf.
The public is really dumb.
How else do you explain Bush getting a bump and poor Obama not getting a bump?
It's gotta be that the public is ambiv stupid, Wolf.
See?
For those of you who doubted me, we will be back.
Don't go away.
America's real anchor man, doctor of democracy, America's truth detector, general all-round good guy, Rush Limbaugh here behind the golden EIB microphone in Los Angeles.
Regular listeners will know that one of our favorite people here is uh the second in command State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf.
This woman is stereotypically perfect of the modern empty-headed, totally vacant, but to the hilt educated liberal, has come out of the Ivy League, looks the part, acts the part, is just perfect.
And she literally doesn't know anything.
But she thinks she knows everything, as she's she feels and she's compassionate, and she's understanding.
And yesterday, well, actually, remember back to CNN as a Wolf Blitzer.
She was she was a guest there.
And uh Blitzer said, you know, I guess what the president said in 60 minutes that the intel community basically got it wrong, the intel community coming back and saying, hey, no, for a for a year they were warning that ISIS was on the move, getting stronger, gaining territory.
The intel community, Marie, they don't think they got it wrong at all.
What the president said was for a long time we've known about the serious threat from ISIL.
But I think everyone, us, the Iraqis, even ISIL itself, probably, was surprised by how quickly earlier this summer they were really able to take territory in Iraq.
They moved more quickly than anyone could have imagined.
And you know, assessing the will of a force to fight, the capability is one thing you can assess, but the will, that's a really tough thing to assess.
See, you heard that right.
You heard that Marie Harf, who is the second in command, the spokesman of the State Department, actually said even ISIL was surprised by how quickly they were able to grow.
Even ISIS was surprised how quickly they were able to pull off what they were trying to achieve.
And if if ISIS was surprised, can you imagine the Corazon group?
They didn't even know they existed until people like Marie Harf and Obama made them up.
So you imagine you're a member of the Corazon group and you don't even know you exist.
Now you're a member of ISIL, and you had no idea.
You didn't have any idea how big you were going to get.
That's the extent to which they'll go to defend Obama here, folks.
I've been requested, uh, ladies and gentlemen, play this again, and I'm happy to do it.
This is a this is a greatest hit that happy to play.
Marie Harf grabs onbite number 11.
And with Wolf Blitzer last night, Wolf asks her about the news that the Intel has been clear on ISIS for a year.
Because Obama's throwing them under the bus.
Obama's intel community kind of blew it.
Didn't tell me, I didn't know.
And uh in which case, why is anybody there still still employed?
But if you got the National Security Director, Jim Clapper, James Clapper, whatever you say, whoever is that Obama threw another butt.
Why do they still have a job?
I mean, this is a serious breach to have known about ISIS for a year or two and to not have told the commander-in-chief.
I mean, that's what Obama said essentially happened, and they're still employed.
So anyway, Marie Harf is on with Wolf Blitzer to explain all of this.
And honest to God, we are not NBC here.
We do not doctor 911 calls or audio soundbites.
What the president said was for a long time we've known about the serious threat from ISIL.
But I think everyone, us, the Iraqis, even ISIL itself, probably, was surprised by how quickly earlier this summer they were really able to take territory in Iraq.
They moved more quickly than anyone could have imagined.
And you know, assessing the will of a force to fight, the capability is one thing you can assess, but the will, that's a really tough thing to assess.
No, it's not.
The will, how badly do you want it?
We can assess Obama's will, and it ain't very high.
It's totally clear.
But you heard her say it, even ISIL itself was probably surprised by how quickly they were able to take territory.
Why?
ISIS underestimated ISIS.
ISIS underestimated itself.
It had no clue how good it was.
Now keep in mind, these are the same Obama flax who say they couldn't predict what the Iraqis would do.
They couldn't predict how big ISIS was gonna get.
ISIS couldn't even predict that.
And yet these are the same people that claim to be able to predict the weather and climate change 50, 100 years from now.
Now, Jen Pasaki, who is Harf's boss, she is the number one spokesbabe at the State Department.
She was on Fox and Friends this morning with Brian Kilmead.
Or it's Saki, you don't pronounce the P. I'm sorry.
It's still the P-S-A-K-I.
And I've not heard her name pronounced.
I thought it might, you know, be a win a real quick P like Psaki.
And it probably is Psaki.
But they probably simplify it for the media by calling it Tzaki, which they all drink, probably familiarity with it, it's easier.
It's like Zabigniev Brzezinski's name.
Americans pronounce it, Brzezinski, but that's not how you pronounce it in Poland.
Poland, you pronounce it Brzezinski.
I know these things because I am a highly trained broadcast specialist and professional communicator.
So anyway, she pronounced it Saki, fine and dandy.
She's on with Killmead.
Killmead says, now a new group, the Corazon.
They seem um they seem to be a special focus because you believe they are a direct threat here.
Can you tell us what types of plot they have already pulled off to date?
I can't go into those details for the safety and security, honestly, of the American people, but I can tell you we've been tracking the Corusc for about two years now.
Uh this is an affiliate of Al Qaeda.
It's a group that we've been watching and we've had concerns about.
That's why we took action.
So if Clor Al-Qaeda still exists in a direct threat to us, can we no longer say that we decimated core Al Qaeda?
I think uh what you're referring to, I believe, is the president's statements that we have decimated core al-Qaeda and certainly killed Osama bin Laden.
Those are all facts.
You don't believe it's core Al-Qaeda.
Well, I think you're talking about names and labels here.
They are an affiliate.
Certainly they're a terrorist organization.
That's why we went after them.
Who's talking about labels?
They're the ones that invented the name.
There isn't a Corazon group.
Khorasan is an area, it's a border area.
It's like ISIL.
Islamic State of Iraq and Levant.
It's an area.
They just made it up.
And they had to make it up because they didn't decimate Al Qaeda.
They didn't wipe out Al Qaeda.
Obama told everybody he did, the Democrat Convention killed bin Laden, got Al Qaeda and GM, of course, trucking along, recalling everything, but they're still trucking along.
They made it up.
And Kilmead, I don't think Jennifer Psaki even now understands how Kilmead got her.
But he did.
I mean, she I think what you're referring to, I believe, is the president's statement that we had decimated Kor Al Qaeda and suddenly killed Osama.
Those are all facts.
You decimated Coral Al Qaeda, yet the Corazon group's so big that you can't tell anybody what they're doing because it threats to national security.
Yes, that's exactly right.
Okay, cool.
We uh we get it.
CBS News correspondent Steve Croft in his interview with Obama.
How did they, Islamic State terrorists, end up where they are, in control of so much territory?
Was that a complete surprise to you?
Barack Obama.
I think our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that I think they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria.
That is throwing your intel guy overboard.
Now keep in mind, when there were no weapons of mass destruction, and the intelligence community, and but this was well known, the intel communities of the United States and the U.K. and uh, even Pakistanis, I mean they all thought and thought they had evidence, and there were overflight photos, and even General Powell, you remember presenting pictures of it in the UN as Bush was assembled coalition, everybody thought that Saddam had them.
And when there weren't any significant stockpiles of WMD, and the excuse, well, you know, the intel community blew you can't, and they said it was Bush being an idiot.
That was to explain for this.
Bush was stupid.
It's a cowboy Bush lied, even though everybody knew the Intel community.
But Bush never threw him overboard like this.
This is and here's Obama constructing another one of his straw men.
Do you think Jim Clapper's running around saying, you know, he's in the White House, he running raising, hey, hey, everybody, I got it wrong.
Hey, I goofed.
Hey, hey, look at me.
I did it wrong.
That's what Obama's saying happened.
I think our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that they underestimated what have been taking place in Syria.
You see, it can't be any deficiency in Obama.
It can't be any fault of Obama.
Now, this piece that I just quoted from is written by Glenn Kessler, and he's the fact checker at the Washington Post.
And normally he's a shameless Obama shill.
Sometimes he even surpasses himself.
From the article, clearly there were public warnings by regime officials about the threat posed by the Islamic State.
Yet at the same time, two senior intelligence officials have expressed regret at the quality of intelligence on ISIS.
Now they couldn't be falling on their swords to protect their jobs and pensions in any case.
How does the how does the second sentence obviate the first?
Obama was warned about ISIS early and often.
There's no disguising that.
Everybody, by the way, the people that know this are out covering their own rear ends with this.
Since Obama's throwing people overboard, those people are refusing a jump.
There aren't a whole lot of people want to fall on their swords in the last two years of a second term from the U.K. Daily Mail.
What is the date today?
Is this this is the 30th?
Okay, so this is yesterday.
Obama has had accurate intelligence about ISIS since before the 2012 election, says administration insider.
President Barack Obama's intelligence briefings have provided him with specific information since before he won re-election in 2012 about the growing threat of the terror group known as ISIS or ISIL.
An administration insider told the mail online on Monday.
Unless someone very senior has been shredding the president's daily briefings and telling him that the dog ate them.
Highly accurate predictions about ISIL have been showing up in the Oval Orifice since before the 2012 election, said a national security staffer in the Obama regime who is familiar with the content of the intelligence briefings.
Now, we are interested in fairness here.
To be fair, how could Obama admit that there was a threat from ISIS while he was claiming during his campaign that he had wiped out terrorism?
See the problem?
You wipe out terrorism, you do that by you wipe out Al Qaeda and you kill bin Laden and you get out of Iraq and say there's no reason to stay.
We have ended.
And then you tell your State Department you're not even allowed to use the word terrorism or war on terror as a term because you have vanquished it.
So in the middle of all that, you're getting intelligence briefings telling you about the rising tide of ISIS ISIL, but you have to ignore them because you're telling the American people there isn't any such thing.
But then eventually it all comes to light, and people have to pay the price, and it's never the president who pays the price on things like this.
The staffer declined to share anything specific about the content of the briefings the president got.
Said he needed to maintain his security clearance so he could he is well on the way to keeping that in by telling us this much.
But it's true, said the staffer, that the intelligence community was sending really specific intel up to us at the Intelligence Department, the White House.
We were seeing specific threat assessments.
Many of them have panned out exactly as we were told they would.
And all of this comports with what we ended up we had on this program back in June of this year that Obama knew about ISIS since at least 2012.
Now, what's different about this Jonathan Carl at ABC has has had a number of reports about what the White House knew, and Obama is denying that they knew it.
Normally, if this were the first term, none of this would be going on.
Everybody would be burying all of this.
But it's the last two years that were coming up in the last two years of the second term.
And now people are thinking about their future employment in the private sector and making the big bucks.
And nobody, or let's say, uh a very increasing number of people are refusing to fall on the sword here.
And so Obama is not getting away with his version of things and everybody shutting up.
Let's take another brief time out, an obscene profit timeout.
We'll be right back.
Doing what I was born to do, Rush Limbaugh.
That's why I'm having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
And we start on the phones today in Michigan, China, Michigan.
This is James.
Welcome, sir.
Great to have you here.
Good afternoon, Rush.
Twenty plus years of ditto.
Thank you.
Very much.
I sincerely appreciate that.
I have a silly question.
Wasn't George W. Bush criticized for only getting his daily briefings and not reading the news itself.
And then two, how do the Washington Redskins get picked on, but the Kansas City Chiefs get a pass?
Well, uh, let's take the first question first.
I'm not, you know, I have a vague memory of Bush and the presidential daily brief.
Uh there there was there was news in the Presidential Daily Brief about about 9-11 or allusions to the possibility, not the specificity of it.
Um I don't remember specifically if if Bush was was was tarred and feathered for not reading beyond the Daily Brief.
I know he was laughed at when he admitted he didn't read newspapers, the Washington Post, New York Times.
He chastised for that.
Uh but I don't I'm gonna have to search my memory banks, the deep dark crevices of my memory banks to find out what it was that Bush was ripped for, the presidential daily brief.
Now, when it comes to the uh the Redskins and the Chiefs, give them time.
Give them time.
Once they get the Redskins names changed and name changed, it'll be on to others.
They'll they'll they'll that will fuel them.
Uh right now, if you had to compare the names Redskins to Chiefs, I don't think you'd have a whole lot of people saying that the Chiefs is offensive.
Not yet.
It could happen down the road, because the Chiefs are the leaders.
The Chiefs, the uh they run the show.
That's power.
Redskins considered to be a uh derogatory term.
But it's not even about that.
This whole Redskins thing is just it's another media manufactured thing made to look like a groundswell of opinion supports it when it doesn't.
It's just it's classic.
It's it's part of the daily media soap opera.
And the left is gonna keep pounding it until people get so fed up with it that they're gonna just change it.
We're tired of hearing about it.
You don't care, just change it.
Stop.
And that's generally how the left gets what they want.
They intimidate, they bully, and they never go away until people just throw up their hands.
It's it's it's like the way we deal with serious crime.
Moynihan said define deviancy down.
You finally figure out you can't stop certain kind of crimes, so you stop calling them serious.
You just accept it, you call it the new norm, or uh or what have you.
Here's Mike in Atlanta.
Mike, you're next.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, how are you, sir?
Just fine, sir.
Thank you.
Uh I just wanted to um point out that the uh president, when he talked about the JB teams, um I kind of think that's a bad uh analogy when you compare it to ISIS.
Um I played on a varsity team uh in high school, and uh we were beat all the time by JB teams.
That's a good point.
You know, I in fact was on the JV squad my one year of high school football.
I was on the JV squad.
I don't I don't remember how we did against the varsity, but we didn't roll over.
Uh and that's basically what you're saying.
The JV squad's out there trying to make the team themselves.
Absolutely.
The JV squad's not there to be dormats.
And I but you know that's it's a great point, and it once again just illustrates that that you know, Obama had to make excuses for a lack of action against a group of people that pose a serious threat to national security.
And since he hadn't taken it seriously and wasn't dealing with it, he simply comes up with a term, uh the J. V. Squad, meaning they're not serious.
These are not the real guys.
You know, these are just a bunch of wannabes.
And it uh it's all coming back now to haunt Obama.
He just doesn't know it.
But I w I want to go back to the uh the giant see, I told you so.
The soundbite from CNN, where old blitzer and Gloria Borger just beside themselves and they're wringing their hands over the fact that Obama's poll numbers didn't get a bump out of this, proving that that's what all of this is about.
It's all about reversing political fortunes rather than being a serious military operation with a serious defined objective.
And you can't just rely on the fact that we are the big superpower United States, and that we don't lose and that this is gonna be handled.
I I don't I I think there is no defined victory here.
The defined victory is going to be Obama's poll numbers getting a bump.
And believe me, if that does eventually happen for whatever reason, you're gonna hear about it.
You're gonna it's gonna be the it's gonna be the greatest news the drive-by's will have.
And at that point, then Obama will be free to pull out or declare victory or whatever his plan is here.
Get this.
