	Al Obama's now addressed the Netanyahu speech, said there was nothing new there.
	Nothing new in the Netanyahu speech, and there weren't any viable alternatives, and uh we need to wait until there's actually a deal on the table that Iran's agreed to before we uh start making comments on it and so forth.
	And of course, we know what's in a deal because John Kerry has told us.
	We know what's in the deal because John Kerry has told us, and one of the things Netanyahu is trying to do was put the brakes on it by publicizing it.
	Because it's absurd.
	John Kerry has told us what the Iranian deal is.
	The Iranian deal is they agree to not finalize the production of a weapon for ten years.
	We make it possible that they can get there.
	We do not stand in their way.
	And then at 10 years they can fulfill the desire to get a nuclear weapon.
	Kerry has said so.
	Our policy is going to be rooted in the acknowledgement that if they want one, they can have one.
	We're not the ones to tell them they can't.
	What we're gonna do is use persuasion on them.
	And we are gonna persuade them not to use the nuclear weapon that we have permitted them to build.
	Remember, 75% of the centrifuges that the Iran needs to complete the project have been built during the Obama administration of the Obama watch with uh Hillary Clinton and John Kerry at Secretary of State.
	By the way, I should point Obama looks really mad.
	He is really he's I know this guy.
	I know you people don't think I do.
	You think I know, but I know this guy.
	He's holding back.
	He's he's he's having trouble holding back too.
	He wants to launch.
	He wants to launch, but he knows he's got to he in private, whoever this poor secretary is that he talks to next, or Josh Ernest, he's gonna unload if he has it already.
	He is going to unload on Netanyahu, probably already has.
	For this exercise, he's got to appear uh collegial and uh professorial, you know, the way they are in the faculty lounge.
	It has to appear reasonable while explaining that Netanyahu has no idea what he's talking about.
	The question I have is this.
	Why is giving Iran the nuclear bomb so important to Obama?
	You realize that's what we're talking about here.
	The former position of this country until Obama was elected was Iran does not get the nuke.
	That was the official position, be it stated at the United Nations, be it stated by presidents at State of the Union, doesn't matter.
	The official position of the U.S. was never Iran gets the nuclear weapon.
	Now why does giving Iran the bomb mean so much to Obama?
	That's my question.
	And why has the official position of the United States changed on that?
	Why why does the official position of the U.S. now seem ambiguous?
	It used to be obvious.
	The position the United States had was unalterable and it was rock solid.
	We were firmly opposed to the Iranians getting a nuclear weapon.
	Now we're not.
	It's just that simple.
	Why is Obama so concerned with giving Iran the nuclear bomb?
	What is it that makes Obama think they are warranted in having one?
	What is it that makes Obama think it's okay for them to have one?
	What is it that makes Obama think we've got no business stopping them really?
	Now, on this nuke deal, something else that John Kerry has made clear about it is Iran can get out of this deal at any time.
	And Obama claims that'll still give us a one-year lead Time to stop them.
	So we've got a deal on the table.
	Kerry has told us what it is.
	That's why we know what it is.
	And Obama's running around.
	I don't know what Netanyahu is doing.
	He shouldn't be talking about this until there's a deal on the table.
	Well, Carrie's told us what it is.
	In addition to paving the way for Iran to get a nuke in ten years.
	And then in ten years they can do it, but we're going to try to stop them from using it.
	That's going to be our official.
	Folks don't laugh at that.
	I know it sounds ridiculous.
	That's the policy.
	The policy is to not stand in their way of getting a bomb, other than to force it to take ten years.
	But after ten years goes by, they can get the bomb.
	And our policy is going to be trying to persuade them never to use it.
	We're going to treat them as adults.
	Okay, you want a nuclear bomb?
	Fine, here's your nuclear bomb.
	16 year olds.
	Okay, you want your Corvette?
	Here's your Corvette, but please don't drive it until you're 21.
	And that's not the best analogy I come up with, but it's off the top of my head.
	And then we find out that Iran can get out of the deal any time they want.
	In other words, there's no point in having a deal.
	Even if they sign it, they can get out of it any time they want.
	Obama's answer to that is, well, even if they get out, it'll still give us a year.
	Lead time to be able to stop them.
	Now, Obama's angry.
	I understand his anger.
	He's just is just there has just been a profound contrast in leadership on display in Washington.
	Benjamin Netanyahu has illustrated what Barack Obama is not.
	And it is what it is.
	Obama is understandably peaked.
	He's mad about it, he's ticked off, he views it as insolence, disrespectful, and so forth.
	So he's going to double down on this deal.
	But he's out there saying it, Netanyahu didn't even say anything.
	We haven't heard.
	There's no alternative, no viable alternative proposed here.
	This is uh this is no big deal.
	I want to return now to the final soundbites of the Netanyahu speech.
	Now that you have Obama's reaction and the reaction of the petulant, immature, and childish Democrats in the House, we return now with Netanyahu proposing three demands.
	Now, I thought this portion of speech...
	This was also profound.
	I mean, here, after all, truth told, Netanyahu is a foreign leader.
	Netanyahu is the prime minister of Israel.
	He came to the United States to address a joint session of Congress, the request invitation of the speaker.
	And he took the occasion to act presidential.
	He took the occasion, he used it.
	For that, I can't fault him.
	He's talking about saving his country and his people.
	He alone deals with that threat.
	He's alone, by the way, in that.
	He questions whether he has any allies in that quest to defend Israel.
	He really does.
	I don't blame him, by the way.
	You shouldn't either.
	So he comes here and proposes his own deal.
	This is gutsy, and this might be considered by some to be an in-your-face move.
	But keep in mind what he's doing.
	He thinks that he's alone and his nation is alone in a hostile world and doesn't really have any allies.
	And if he does have allies, they're very few.
	And they are outnumbered by all of his enemies.
	The world should demand that Iran do three things.
	First, stop its aggression against its neighbors in the Middle East.
	Second, stop supporting terrorism around the world.
	And third, stop threatening to annihilate my country, Israel, the one and only Jewish state.
	If the world powers are not prepared to insist that Iran change its behavior before a deal is signed, at the very least, they should insist that Iran change its behavior before a deal expires.
	If Iran changes its behavior, the restrictions would be lifted.
	If Iran doesn't change its behavior, the restrictions should not be lifted.
	If Iran wants to be Treated like a normal country, let it act like a normal country.
	You can see why Obama would be upset at this.
	Here's the next soundbite.
	This is where Netanyahu characterizes the deal the United States is negotiating and tells us what he thinks of it.
	Now, if Iran threatens to walk away from the table, and this often happens in a Persian bazaar, call their bluff.
	They'll be back because they need the deal a lot more than you do.
	And by maintaining the pressure on Iran and on those who do business with Iran, you have the power to make them need it even more.
	My friends, for over a year, we've been told that no deal is better than a bad deal.
	Well, this is a bad deal.
	It's a very bad deal.
	We're better off without it.
	What is this, by the way?
	Who who comes up with this idiotic philosophies?
	No deal is better than a bad deal.
	Bad deal is better than a no-deal at all.
	Bad deal is better to anyway.
	Uh contrast this now with Obama saying there's any alternatives today.
	We didn't hear any viable alternatives.
	We just heard a bunch of empty rhetoric and no action.
	That's the official White House response to this.
	We have a couple more bites, and then we'll um we'll uh be finished with this segment, move on to other things.
	This is where he turned to the gallery as presidents do during States of the Union.
	With us today is Holocaust survivor and noble prize winner, Ellie Wiesel.
	Your life and work inspire us to give meaning to the words never again.
	And I wish I could promise you, Ellie, that the lessons of history have been learned.
	I can only urge the leaders of the world not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
	And now, ladies, here comes the big finish.
	This is the sighting of Moses that I referenced earlier.
	Facing me, right up there in the gallery, overlooking all of us in this August chamber is the image of Moses.
	Moses led our people from slavery to the gates of the promised land.
	And before the people of Israel entered the land of Israel, Moses gave us a message that has stealed our resolve for thousands of years.
	I leave you with his message today.
	Be strong and resolute, neither fear nor dread them.
	My friends, may Israel and America always stand together, strong and resolute.
	May we neither fear nor dread the challenges ahead.
	May we face the future with confidence, strength, and hope.
	May God bless the state of Israel, and may God bless the United States of America.
	Okay, so we've had all the meaningful, irrelevant uh Netanyahu sound bites.
	And we've uh highlighted Obama's reaction to it, which is angry and petulant and feeling put upon, all of which understandable.
	We've had Netanyahu acting like the leader of the free world.
	Netanyahu is a perfect example of a foreigner coming here to do the jobs Americans won't do.
	How about that?
	Ben Yamin Netanyahu, a perfect example of a foreigner coming here to do the jobs Americans won't do, in this case, behaving like a president.
	Which is exactly what he did.
	Oh, before we go to the break, I would never forgive myself if I didn't let you hear the learned opinion of the senior foreign correspondent of CNN, the one and only Christianeman poor.
	Wolf, it was a very dark, strange Love-in speech, painting a picture of a really dystopian world, raising the specter of a genocidal nation, a genocidal regime spraying nuclear weapons to annihilate the whole world and the whole region.
	Now, obviously, many people are very concerned about Iran, and there is a deep lack of trust.
	But surely the same was said of the Soviet Union all those years ago.
	You see, exactly, my friends.
	And even when it was said about the Soviet Union, these people like Christiana Manpour denied it and said the people who made those statements were being unnecessarily provocative and contentious, and it was nothing dangerous to worry about, and so forth.
	The evidence was around the world with the Soviet Union was doing, and so dystopian.
	Dystopia.
	Oh Netanyahu painted a dark picture of a dystopian future.
	I'm sorry, that's what we're getting in this country.
	It's in this country we are being told our better days are behind us.
	In this country, it's we her are being told that we better adjust to the new reality.
	That American prosperity as we've known it is no longer to be.
	We in this country are being told that it's never going to be as good as it was.
	That we were illegitimately a superpower, that we shouldn't have had it as well as we did.
	We did not deserve that superpowers.
	We are the ones in this country being told of the new reality of high unemployment.
	The new norm of 30 hour work weeks.
	Netanyahu came here and tried to present an alternative to dystopia.
	By the way, for those of you in real Linda, I imagine you're totally confused here.
	It's not the latest Chevy.
	It's the opposite of utopia.
	Utopia is perfection, it's heaven on earth, it's idyllic.
	Dystopia is Mad Max and Thunderdome.
	That's dystopian.
	We'll be back.
	I'm sure you know what that is.
	Okay, so let's see, ladies and gentlemen, if we have this straight.
	Before the Netanyahu speech, Obama and the regime were all mad.
	They were warning that Netanyahu better not reveal anything new about the Iran deal.
	He better not do it.
	CNN has the story.
	They were all over their website and the network with it today.
	Warning administration warning Netanyahu not to reveal anything new.
	So Netanyahu comes and speaks.
	And after the speech, the regime is all mad, complaining, Netanyahu didn't say anything new.
	So Obama said, that's what Josh Ernest said.
	That's what the Democrats said when they strolled in the microphones and cameras after, well, we didn't hear anything new here.
	We didn't hear any viable old Trinities.
	All we heard here was a bunch of useless rhetoric with no action.
	So before Netanyahu speaks, Obama warns Netanyahu, you better not say anything new about this deal.
	After the speech, they criticize Netanyahu for not saying anything new.
	Dystopian.
	The Boko Haram people, do you know those people are now announcing they've killed 10,000 people?
	ISIS, Boko Haram, you name it, these militant Islamists, they have telegraphed what they are going to do.
	How can you sit there as a foreign correspondent actually claiming to be paying attention to the news and not understand this enemy when they are being perfectly upfront about their intentions?
	And if they succeeded, it'd be pretty damn dystopian.
	Anyway, here's Dave and Gurney, Illinois.
	Dave, I'm glad you waited.
	I really appreciate that.
	How are you doing, sir?
	Good rush.
	You know, these certainly are troubling times, especially for us that pay attention, and us that remember the duck and cover days.
	Yeah.
	I mean, they're very troubling.
	But uh there are pinical moments when the Democrat Party is revealed and unveiled.
	Today is one, but let's remember less less than three years ago in 2012 at the Democrat Party Convention.
	I know you mentioned it slightly uh last hour, Um where the introduction of God into the platform and then also recognizing Jerusalem as the uh capital of Israel and how that got booed three times, and actually it didn't pass, but they allowed it to pass.
	But uh but that was another time when we get to see what's going on in that party.
	It's exactly right.
	I mean, people may have forgotten that their convention was in Charlotte, North Carolina, Jerusalem got booed, God was booed for being included in the party platform.
	I think what people uh who don't yet understand the modern left, you can call it the Democrat Party, liberals or whatever.
	Clearly they've taken over the Democrat Party.
	It's now full-fledged radical left.
	There are no moderate Democrats left.
	The the thing that and I've I think I proved this.
	I mean, I've I I to myself, um I satisfy myself this is true by watching House of Cards.
	I and it's not the first observance, this just confirmed.
	I think really at the root of all of their anger, and everything is a derivative from this, or a descendant from this, is their abject hatred and fear of Christianity.
	And everything else, all of the other things global, but you know, everything they oppose or fear it descends from that singular fear and hatred that they have.
	I'm convinced of it now.
	It's a real rush both serving humanity.
	Great to have you here, half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair.
	David Hartford, Connecticut, great to have you on the EIB network.
	Hello, sir.
	Hey Russ, thanks for taking my call.
	What a privilege to uh talk to you.
	I appreciate that.
	Thank you, sir.
	I just wanted to add to what you were saying.
	Um as you rightly said that the left they despise Judeo-Christian values and they hate the laws of nature, nature's God, and that's your caller before pointed out that they booed God as sane as that is, and they they're uh they rejected Jerusalem also too.
	And I really believe that President Obama, and this is my personal opinion, so but I really believe that he because he was the way he was raised, he despises Israel, and he's trying to force Benjamin Yet Nashu in Israel's hand to see what they will do, and he's putting them in the corner,
	and we don't know what that will take, but if it gets to the point where they fear for their existence, they will institute the time-long truth of the Limbaugh doctrine, because Israel has nuclear weapons, they will secure their border, and the world will have to think twice.
	It's sad, um, but Israel, as we all know, uh the Holocaust the Holocaust put that nation in that land and established it, unfortunately, but they will never ever let that happen again uh while they have the power to prevent it, which they didn't.
	Well, I just want your thoughts on that about the Limbaugh doctrine.
	I would give I give you my thoughts on it.
	If you would, as a service to the audience, state as you understand it, the Limbaugh doctrine.
	You cannot achieve total victory without totally wiping out your enemy.
	It's essentially the Limbaugh doctrine is there is no peace unless one side militarily surrenders.
	There is no peace resulting from doctors, nurses, clean water, negotiations, speeches, or what have you.
	The Limbaugh doctrine states the winner is the military winner.
	The winner defeats the other side, and the other side militarily surrenders.
	That's the Limbaugh doctrine.
	And so you want you're asking me if I think Obama is pushing Netanyahu to the limbaugh doctrine.
	I think Netanyahu made it clear.
	They're gonna go it alone if they have to.
	They can defend themselves now.
	They've made it clear.
	That's what he one of the I don't there are two primary points in the speech today, and that's one of them.
	The second really big element of this was Obama contrasting the or Netanyahu dramatically contrasting leadership with pacifity himself versus Obama.
	Um but the Limbaugh doctrine, I think I think Netanyahu made it clear we're not he th they're not gonna sit around and rely on negotiations of somebody that is not got a vested interest in Israel's security.
	Look, like I like I asked you maybe a moment ago, why does Obama seem so interested in Iran getting a weapon, folks?
	Seriously now, the official position of the United States up until Obama's election was Iran will never get a nuclear weapon.
	Now, that doesn't mean that Bush had committed to military action to stop it.
	I'm talking about in a diplomatic sense, that was the official position.
	Now Obama's in the White House.
	And it seems like to casual or astute uh uh uh uh observers that Obama's very interested in these people getting a nuclear weapon.
	And John Kerry's told us what the terms of the deal are.
	They indued indeed do get a weapon in ten years.
	And James Rosen at Fox News, the dreaded and hated Fox News, has reported today that the uh Iranians have acquired 75% of the needed centrifuges they must have during the Obama administration.
	There clearly has been a change in American policy.
	The United States government, the State Department is negotiating with Iran the terms of Iran getting a nuclear weapon.
	Of course Netanyahu is going to react to that.
	That's a change.
	The United States has never held the position that Iran should have and would be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.
	Now, you look, folks, you can think what you want about.
	I'm I'm sure many of you left us in this audience.
	Well, who do we think we are?
	United States says Iran didn't get a nuke.
	Well, it's not our business.
	I'm sure many of you think that.
	Think what you want of it, but I'm telling you, the official position of the United States government has been Iran will never get a nuclear weapon.
	That's now changed.
	Obama's in office, and we are devising a deal whereby they can get a nuclear weapon.
	Why does Obama so desperately want them to have one?
	I'll explain it to you.
	If you want me to answer it, I'll answer it.
	You want me to answer it?
	You really want me to answer this?
	Okay, I'm gonna restate the question.
	And if you really want the answer, I'll give it to you.
	Why is, for the first time in American history, an American president adopting a negotiating stance that guarantees the Iranians getting a nuclear weapon.
	Why does Obama seem so interested in Iran getting one?
	You want to know the answer?
	To counter the nuclear dominance of Israel in the region, folks, is the answer to the question.
	Now, you may not like hearing it, and you may think that it's offensive, and you may think it's extreme, and you may think it's improperly characterizing Obama, but I'm telling you that's the answer.
	I mean, I don't I don't think Obama wants Iran to start nuking people.
	I think he doesn't trust Israel as the only nuclear power in the region.
	I think he wants Israel as a nuclear power balanced, neutered, if you will.
	I think the whole point of Iran, from Obama's standpoint, the whole point of Iran getting a nuclear weapon is Israel.
	And make no mistake, this Netanyahu knows.
	Ladies and gentlemen, Rush Limbaugh with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair, rocking it up in there.
	Sounding fabulous here on the EIB network.
	And make no mistake about it.
	Make no mistake.
	The reason Iran getting a nuclear weapon is important to Obama is that will balance Israel as a nuclear power in the region.
	It's all about fairness.
	It's all about equality.
	It's all about justice.
	And it's really unfair that the Islamists don't have one.
	So there you go.
	Here's Obama.
	We have uh a couple of sound bites here, maybe three, at the White House during a meeting with his Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter.
	And they let reporters come in there for the gaggle.
	And here's some of what Obama had to say about Netanyahu's speech.
	I did not have a chance to watch uh Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech.
	I was uh on a uh video conference with uh our European partners with respect to Ukraine.
	I did have a chance to take a look at the transcript.
	Uh and uh as far as I can tell, uh there was nothing new on the core issue, which is how do we prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, which would make it far more dangerous and would give it scope for even greater action in the region.
	Uh the Prime Minister didn't offer any viable alternatives.
	What the hell is that?
	The core issue, how do we prevent Iran from obtaining?
	No!
	We're we've got a plan that allows them to obtain it.
	See, this he did see that speech.
	He knew what was said in that speech, and this is his timely response to it.
	So now he's equating his position with Netanyahu's, which is prevention, and it's not.
	Folks, don't doubt me.
	The American position on nuclear Iran is they get one, we are going to try to persuade them not to use it.
	But we think they're entitled to it because we don't have the right to tell them no.
	You may think that sounds crazy, but I ask you to remember who we're dealing with here.
	And uh this is this is the the next bite is sort of the president saying, hey, don't talk about the deal before there is one, dude.
	Let's wait until there's actually a deal on the table that Iran has agreed to, at which point everybody can evaluate it.
	We don't have to speculate.
	And what I can guarantee is that if it's a deal I've signed off on, I will be able to prove that it is the best way for us to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
	And that's how it works.
	Trust me.
	If I, Barack Hussein oh, if I approve the deal, you can rely on the fact that it's a best way to keep them from getting it.
	Just when I told you, remember, if you like your doctor, you keep your doctor.
	And remember when I told you if you like your policy, you keep your policy.
	And you remember when I told you that your premiums are going to come down 2500, and you remember when I told you that your taxes were gonna go up because of health care?
	No, I didn't get to it.
	I have this uh soundbite CBS News blaming me for the shortage of AR-15 ammo.
	It's my fault.
	So we're gonna save that sound.
	It's actually two sound bites that we'll save that for tomorrow and put it with whatever else happens between now and then be on top of it as always.
	And see you then.
	Thank you so much for being with us today, folks.
