Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
There it is.
I thought I'd lost an entire stack of prep.
But I found it.
Greetings, my friends.
Great to have you here.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
As always, great to have you here.
A little hoarse today here, folks, but it'll get better as the program goes on.
Telephone number here if you want to be on the program is well.
No, I got up today and I was in the shower, and all of a sudden I get one of these nose tingles, and I'm thinking, uh-oh.
I'm just hoping uh soap or something, but it's it may be the oncoming first signs of one of these little head cold viruses.
I hope not.
But if the voice sounds hoarse today, that's the uh reason why.
And hopefully it's going to get better as the program goes on.
Anyway, a lot to do today, folks.
Jam packed as always.
The telephone number is 800 282-2882.
And if you want to send an email, it's Ilrushbo at EIBNet.com.
I want to first start with a couple of sound bites here.
I want to demonstrate something that I have been postulating over the course of I don't know how many years on this program.
Now, what I'm going to play for you is a guy from Salon.com who is trying to explain, he's the founder, David Talbot, and he's trying to explain why all of these Islamist terrorists hate us.
And of course it's our fault, as you will hear.
But the point that I want to make here, the teachable moment that this is, over the course of the many decades of this program, I have attempted to explain how liberals think, and particularly how they think about this country.
And over the course of the many years of this program, when liberals have spoken up and said this nonsensical, just genuinely crackpot stuff, we've laughed at it.
We've mocked it and made fun of it, we've satirized it, we've parodied it in the belief that no reasonable people would actually ever believe it, sign up for it, and that's where we were wrong.
We were wrong to the point that there are enough people who have been influenced this way to elect somebody like Barack Obama, who is an absolute, he's everything now.
He is incompetent, he's a success.
He's a failure, depending on how you define all of these terms.
And now he's become, well, he always has been, but now it's becoming ever obvious that he's dangerous.
And he poses his presidency, his his leadership, his policies, his strategies pose and put this country at great risk.
And something else along those lines that I want to do today is further develop an explanation that we provided for you by Walid Farris yesterday to explain why Obama is not interested in taking out ISIS.
And that really is what it boils down to.
And I have further evidence of that today.
But you have to know how to read the news story, the evidence is contained in.
I would uh posit here that the average consumer of news could read the same story I have that contains the proof I'm gonna offer you and not see it.
And that is uh another reason why I am where I am here doing what I was born to do when you were out there listening.
Is it's classic, and it it it once I explain it to you, it will be irrefutable.
But let's go first to the audio sound bites here of of David Talbot.
He was uh it was on a Tavis Smiley show on PBS last night.
And again, we've made fun of this.
We've laughed at it, we've mocked it, under the belief that no way would a majority of Americans ever end up actually thinking this.
Now we know that the reason these opinions are out there is this is what is being taught, this is what has been taught on campus in the American Academy, institutions of supposed higher learning for decades.
So here's the question.
Salon.com founder and author David Talbot got a new book called the uh biography of CIA director Alan Dulles.
It's called The Devil's Chess Board.
The book is.
And talking about the terror attacks in Paris, Tavis Smiley says France is in a state of emergency, which means for the next three months the police basically have card Blanc for the next three months while they try to sort the attack out.
That's their decision, and they're entitled that.
There are questions about civil liberties, etc.
But what are the parallels you see, Mr. Talbot, between the text of your book and what is happening today?
The question the media keeps asking once again is why do they hate us?
This is the backstory for why they hate us.
Years of torture, of assassination, of overthrowing democratically elected governments in the Middle East, like Mossadek's government in Iran.
There's deep roots to this hatred and this bitterness.
And as I say, it didn't begin after 9 11.
Torture, extraordinary rendition, CIA black sites, mass surveillance of citizens, assassinations.
This began not just after 9 11, but during the Cold War.
There's an arrogance that is deeply rooted, I think, in American policy and American history that uh we're paying the price for to this.
So you see, it is this is a standard bearer for left-wing thinking, founder Salat.com, and you see, we are to blame.
We are the problem in the world.
All of the things that we have, we deserve the hit back that we are getting because of all the torture.
They don't speak this way about any other country in the world.
They don't speak this way about any other dictator.
They don't speak this way about mass murderers.
Like Stalin, like Mao Tse Tong, like Fidel, they do not speak this way about socialist or communist governments anywhere in the world.
No.
The absolute worst example of depraved humanity is found in the United States of America, and the hatred that these militant Islamists have for us is justified.
It's genuine.
We need to understand it.
Remember after 9-11, the Pentagon, sorry, the State Department convened a little series of forums on why do they hate us?
Premise being it must be something we're doing to cause them to hate us so much that they would blow up three buildings and hijack our own airplanes.
But this goes beyond, folks.
He just he the things he mentions here are enough, but there are things he didn't mention.
Well, you have torture.
Torture?
The Saudi Arabians have patented Saudi Arabians, all these telling us that people like ISIS, who are applying for new patents on torture every day, hate us because we torture?
We're not even in the same ballpark.
We're not even in the same league.
With real terrorist madmen, mass murderers, dictators, tyrants, we're not even on the same playing field.
It's embarrassing to suggest so.
But folks, this is what they believe.
This is why crossing the aisle to try to work with these people and find common ground is so silly.
But it's also dangerous.
This represents a serious body of thought in this country, and it's at the highest levels of the intellectual ladder on the left.
We're guilty.
This is applicable to our race problem in America.
You add the uh the history of the U.S. to this litany of complaints about us, and it's never ending.
Everything about this country, illegitimate, unjust, immoral, and it's so bad it justifies whatever anybody else wants to do to us.
Yeah, we better realize it pretty quick.
Torture, assassination, overthrowing democratically elected governments in the Middle East.
Like, would somebody show me a democratically elected government in the Middle East before we got to Iraq?
Democratic, uh democratically elected government in the Middle East.
Well, he's not talking about Israel.
He mentions the Mossadek government in Iran.
There's deep roots to this hatred and this bitterness, and it's all justified, you see.
And it didn't begin just after 9-11.
Torture, extraordinary rendition.
Yeah, you know, they really really hate us Out there in the in the wilds of Sudan because of our rendition program.
CIA black sites.
What we're getting here is a litany of things this guy hates about America, and he is projecting these things to our enemies, and since his hatred is justified, theirs must be.
And they must hate us for the same reasons he and his buddies do.
Mass surveillance of citizens.
Assassinations.
So Tavis smiley says, well, look, how ironic is it to you that at the same time people are asking why do they hate us and making the notion they hate us for our Western values?
That the Republicans in Congress have made it even more difficult for Obama to not keep his campaign promise to close Club Gitmo and Rush Limbaugh's licensed merchandise business there.
Another humiliation.
You can't go about treating people this way, imprisoning them without uh due process, torturing them, uh assassinating them through extra legal methods.
I mean, Barack Obama, for all his uh good intentions, has actually expanded greatly, of course, the drone assassination program.
You can't do that kind of violence without expecting some blowback at some point.
And so the American people have to, you know, make a decision.
Do we want to live in this endless cycle of violence or not?
It's all our fault.
We started it, we ended it.
Nobody else is violent.
If they are, it's because they're simply reacting to us because we are the focus of evil in the modern world.
We better realize this.
But how about this question that Tavis Smiley asked?
How ironic is it to you that at the same time people are asking why do they hate us and making a notion that they hate us for our Western values?
Well, have you just have you noted here what Western values are to these people?
Western values are torture, assassination, overthrowing democratically elected governments, racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, surveillance of citizens, assassinations, imprison without due process, torture, assassination, back in the second answer.
Those are Western values to these people.
So what does it say the Republicans in Congress have made it even more difficult for Obama to not keep his.
See, even Obama lying to his own people is the Republicans' fault.
Obama lied to the left.
He told him he was going to close Club Gitmo.
Here we are in year seven, the end of year seven.
It's still open, and he's still joying about closing it, and he's still releasing bad guys, and they're re-entering the theater of battle, but he's not closed it.
And somehow it's the Republicans' fault for making Obama lie.
So now it's the Republicans' fault for Obama's inability to keep his campaign promise.
And you think, how absurd.
Nobody's going to believe that, and yet they all will.
Everybody on this side of the aisle that subscribes already to these things.
No, no.
No, no, no, no.
The point is not to rip any single guy here like Talbot.
That's not the point is this is who we are up against.
This is why I believe it would be worthwhile for every American to be able to recognize a liberal the moment they hear them or see them.
I don't believe most Americans believe their country is this mean-spirited, this evil, this extreme, this.
I know they don't.
These people want a majority of Americans to think this stuff.
They are trying to project their hatred for this country onto others, including our enemies, to the point of justifying our enemies' hatred for us.
And if you think this is a one-off, let's go to last night's PBS Charlie Rose.
He spoke with the um senior editor at the Daily Beast.
That's Tina Brown's website.
She started it.
I don't know if she's still there.
I think she sold it to Barry Diller, and he got tired of riding a bicycle in the Hampton, so did something with it.
Maybe sold it to the guy who bought Newsweek.
I I I really don't know who owns this anymore.
I just know it's a bunch of leftists.
I'm just trying to identify it for you.
But anyway, this guy is the editor, Michael Weiss.
And he has got a book.
ISIS inside the armor, uh, army of terror.
And Charlie Rose, who, reputed to be the superprimo, sophisticated modern American journalist, says to Michael Weiss about ISIS, are they just killers?
Are they just killers?
Now wait till you hear this.
They run a city administration in Al Bob.
They collect taxes.
They go around and inspect restaurants to make sure that their sanitary standards are being met.
They have a social services program, health care.
If you're a member of ISIS, you have free health care.
You might call it Baghdadi care.
They have this hearts and mind strategy.
Then they have, of course, the deterrent factor.
If you violate their laws, if you're caught smoking cigarettes, if you're caught drinking alcohol, they'll put you in a cage in the center of Al Bob for three days.
If they suspect you of being a spy for the coalition or for some foreign power, they'll cut your head off, put it on a stick in the middle of the town, and let it rot and superate there for several days.
So when we say why aren't people rising up against the caliphate?
It's because they're employing those two strategies, both the carrot and the stick at a very adept level.
ISIS.
Free health care.
His joke about calling it Baghdadi care, because that's the later leader's last name, something al Baghdadi.
Well, they collect taxes.
They go around, they inspect restaurants, make sure they're sanitary.
See, they they have regulatory power.
Oh my God, you realize how a liberal loves regulatory powers?
So ISIS can go ahead to issue regulations.
ISIS can just unilaterally and make sure the restaurants are clean and sanitary for the protection of the people.
They collect taxes.
If this guy finds out that they tax the rich much greater than they tax the middle poor, the middle class rather of ISIS, they're gonna have an orgasm.
They're gonna be in love with them so much.
Does ISIS have a progressive income tax policy?
What is ISIS do about the filthy one percent rich in ISIS?
Does everybody in ISIS make the same amount of money?
Are there rich?
Are there poor?
If there are rich ISIS, do they get a higher tax rate?
What about the distribution of wealth?
Is it unequal?
Do the leaders of ISIS have much more wealth than your average ordinary suicide bomber terrorist ISIS members?
And if so, where are they on climate change?
Oh, can you imagine if the ISIS guys came out and supported the UN climate change and condemned.
Can you imagine the orgasm of support?
We'd have John Kerry speaking French until he died.
We would have Al Gore coming out of just falling all over themselves to praise these guys as forward thinkers.
They have health care.
They have a social services program.
If you're a member of ISIS, you have free health care.
We don't have that here.
They have a hearts and minds strategy.
They have a deterrent factor, too.
If you do it, you can tick them off and chop your head off, put it on a stick, and leave it at town square.
God, we love these guys.
That's something to aspire to.
Okay, up next, the Syrian refugee problem, the resettlement problem, and the argument raging over whether the governors have the power to refuse them.
Left-wing media, shall we say experts, think tank uh analysts all say the governors have no choice.
The governors have nothing to say about whether Syrian refugees are put in their states, because the federal government gets to determine everything about immigration.
Except that's not true.
And I will splain this in the next half hour of the program.
It's crucially important, and it's an area in which the drive-by media is once again in blanket fashion lying to the American people, using uh university professors and think tank specialists to postulate this opinion when in fact it is incorrect.
Paul Ryan wants to pause, put a put a pause on the Syrian refugee program, a press conference today, Capitol Hill in Washington, this, the new Republican speaker of the House.
It's important that we have a refugee system in place.
We respect that, but we think it's simply prudent that for this particular program in this particular situation That we be better guarded against any possible infiltration of ISIS coming through this program.
That is why we think it's necessary to have a pause and to have a more comprehensive strategy dealing with guaranteeing that we do not allow ISIS members coming here.
Because we can't vet them.
He's exactly right.
The libs are trying to say that we're throwing our values away, that we accept anybody, that we are the single experiment in freedom and openness and tolerance.
And if we shut it down, we're no better than anybody else in the rest of the world.
We have to let them in.
It's absurd what they are saying.
Backed up, of course, with a drive-by media.
But we can't vet them.
We don't know who they are.
There's no way to know.
Ryan's idea of a pause here makes some sense.
Hang in there, be tough.
Coming right back.
And we're back.
Great to have you here.
El Rushbooking the complex.
Understandable.
The saga continues.
800 28282.
So ISIS wants to kill us.
And they are justified.
ISIS wants to kill us and anybody else, part of Western civilization, and to listen to recognized leaders of the American intellectual left, why they're perfectly justified.
They exist because of their hatred for us, which is justified.
All of the torture, all the assassinations, all the overthrows of democratically elected governments, climate change, racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, all of the horrible CIA black sites, rendition, all of these things that we have done, George W. Bush, the Iraq War, all of these things legitimize the hatred for us espoused by ISIS.
They want to kill us.
They're justified.
Well, what justified the killing of innocent concert goers in Paris on a Friday?
What justifies that?
You realize what's happening here in the aftermath of mass murder.
We are being told by the American intellectual left how we must understand it because it's our fault.
There is a legitimate reason they hate us, and these kind of acts we had better understand, and we had better change our ways.
What more can we do after seven years of Barack Obama?
What can we do that you leftists haven't done to us yet?
What left is there to make of this country that you haven't gotten started on by now?
You know, you don't have a Republican president running the show here.
You have your guy.
Your guy's running the show, and if the Constitution's in his way, he doesn't care.
He does what he wants to do.
He implements your agenda.
For seven years, we've had the intellectual left agenda implemented day after day after day after day, and we're told that ISIS killing innocent people is justified because they are justified in hating us.
Well, who is us now?
Us is Barack Hussein Obama, who yesterday gave one of the most embarrassing, dispiriting speeches a president has ever made.
I don't want to let those are old fashioned.
I mean, I we're not thinking about women.
I think of Hirohito, you know, being forced to drag himself on that battleship, sign the document.
I don't know.
I don't think that way.
Barack Hussein Obama.
The president of the United States of America yesterday actually said, What I'm not interested in doing is posing.
Geraldo Rivera has another word for it.
Geraldo Rivera is out asking, why?
Why couldn't the president try to make the American people feel better?
Why couldn't the American why couldn't the president try to lift up the American people?
Talking about this speech.
Because Geroldo, he's posing.
He's posing as an American leader.
What I'm not interested in doing is posing or pursuing some notion of American leadership or American winning or whatever other slogans they come up with.
That has No relationship to what's actually going to work to protect the American people.
So winning and leadership have nothing to do with protecting the American people.
And he's not interested in winning.
This is embarrassing.
It's incompetent.
It is Barack Hussein Obama and Michael Weiss and Michael Talbot, these guys say this kind of lead.
This is why ISIS and Al Qaeda, throw them all in there, are justified in hating us.
They're justified.
That's what they're saying.
We have to understand their rage, their anger at us is legitimate.
That means justified.
That must mean that whatever they do, acting out their rage is understandable and legitimate and justified.
Not interested in winning.
American leadership sloganeering, that's not me.
I don't care.
I'm not into that.
Dangerous.
But my point is, all these leftists run around wringing their hands.
Oh my God, they hate us.
They hate who?
You are running the country.
You have corrupted the American campus after campus after campus.
You have destroyed the American health care system.
You have dealt severe blows to the U.S. economy.
You, leftists, you Democrats, this country has your fingerprints all over it now.
Including the misery of most of the even your charges, even your students, even the ambitious and the idealistic who believed all your promises are among the angriest and most miserable Americans.
They bought into everything you said would happen if we just implemented their ideas, and yet they're angrier than ever.
Blacks think no progress has been made on racism whatsoever.
They've been lied to about it, they actually believe it.
For some reason, women think there's a war against them.
It's absurd what is happening here.
The disintegration, the corruption of this country, is all on the Democrats.
And yet they run around and talk about ISIS despising us as though George Bush is still the president.
Listen again to Michael Weiss on Charlie Rose last night, author of ISIS inside the armor of or army of terror.
And Charlie Charlie Rose, look, do they do stuff besides just kill people?
And that's his question.
Are they just killers?
Do they do they do things besides kill people?
What is that question mean, really?
What's Charlie looking for here?
I mean, is there is there any redeeming value in these people?
Are they just a bunch of killers, Michael?
They run a city administration in Al Bob.
They collect taxes.
They go around and inspect restaurants to make sure that their sanitary standards are being met.
They have a social services program, health care.
If you're a member of ISIS, you have free health care.
You might call it Baghdadi care.
They have this hearts and minds strategy.
Then they have, of course, the deterrent factor.
If you violate their laws, if you're caught smoking cigarettes, if you're caught drinking alcohol, they'll put you in a cage in the center of Al Bab for three days.
If they suspect you of being a spy for the coalition or for some foreign power, they'll cut your head off, put it on a stick in the middle of the town, and let it rot and superate there for several days.
So when we say why aren't people rising up against the caliphate?
It's because they're employing those two strategies, both the carrot and the stick at a very adept level.
See, uh this guy, half of this comment is praising ISIS.
Oh, they got health care.
They've got uh they collect taxes, probably tax the rich more than the others.
Uh they they have regulatory uh bodies, they they regulate and inspect restaurants.
You couldn't make this up.
But then why don't people rise up against them?
Well, he didn't say why don't people rise up because if they rise up, they're murdered.
So they don't rise up against them because they got what they want.
They got restaurant regulation, they got sanitary food, they have health care, they have societal benefits, they collect taxes.
These ISIS guys do it all.
And then if that doesn't buy loyalty, they chop off the heads.
I wonder what Mr. Weiss would say in this not so veiled attempt.
Mr. Snurdley, as you listen to this, would you would you say this is quasi praising ISIS.
I mean, I it sure sounds like it to me.
What?
Well, well, I I know.
It's a balanced look.
You see, this is what moderate means.
This is balance.
This is this is the ability to be mature enough to understand.
This is Hillary's smart power, yes.
We must endeavor to empathize with our enemies and get to know them and understand what things they bring to the table and have to offer.
And in this way we exercise smart power, and in this way we cut down on the acts of violence.
So it's a balanced view.
And so I wonder when these guys figure out that ISIS runs on oil.
I wonder what that's gonna do to their opinion of them.
You don't think it would matter?
Well, that's probably true.
They would say ISIS really wouldn't like to.
They don't like being funded by oil, but they've got no choice.
That's what they have, and so they're using it.
But I'm saying, yeah, they would have given the choice, they certainly would not be using oil.
That's that's you're right.
That's how they would defend the claim that ISIS is funded by oil.
It's just like, well, you know, wait till Obama finds out what happened.
You realize, gee, he couldn't possibly have known this was going to happen.
Take whatever happens at Obamacare, whatever.
Wait till Obama finds out, say the leftists, man, it's really gonna be hell to pay then.
Well, this is ever so true.
Oil is their resource.
And we've been stealing it.
And Trump wants to steal even more.
See?
See how this works.
Trump either wants to blow up their primary source of funding.
And when you blow up anybody's source of funding, you really anger a leftist.
Because funding is like magic.
And if ISIS's primary source of funding is oil, and Trump wants to blow up the oil fields, that's bad.
That's very bad.
And see, they deserve to be able to run an oil.
They get an exemption for causing climate change because we have stolen their oil in the past.
We've stolen everything.
That's why they're so pouring backwards.
We've stolen everything.
We'd steal the pyramids if we could find a way to get them here.
And when we do, we will.
I like to ask these yokels.
Is um is ISIS justified trying to take over Europe.
I mean, that's really where ISIS is focusing now.
Many Western European nations clearly are Western civilization type countries.
Some are socialist democracies, some are not, varying degrees, but they're all under assault.
Are they justified?
Is Germany just as guilty as the U.S. because they're an ally or on their own?
Except Germany was allied with the military Islamist Nazis were.
Um throw them out.
How about Denmark?
How about uh the UK?
How about Belgium, which is where this latest sell plotted?
Try try, by the way, you want to look at the headline of this story.
This from NBC News.
ISIS has help desk for terrorists staffed around the clock.
There is a customer service line that ISIS terrorists can call if they need help with hacking or other criminal services.
NBC News has learned that ISIS is using a web savvy new tactic to expand its global operational footprint, a 24-hour jihadi help desk to help its foot soldiers spread its message worldwide, recruit followers, and launch more attacks on foreign soil.
Counterterrorism analysts affiliated with the U.S. Army tell NBC News that ISIS has a help desk manned by six senior operatives around the clock, is established with the express purpose of helping would-be jihadists use encryption and other secure communications in order to evade detection by law enforcement and intelligence sources.
I mean, boil down what this means is it's just been discovered that ISIS operates an around the clock technical help desk, customer service, if you will, where would-be jihadists and Expert advice on encryption, bomb making, and launching terror attacks.
It's like a one-stop shop.
Well, if you have a bombing question, press one.
If you want to torture and kidnap press two.
Don't know how it manifests itself, but it's in praise of.
It's man, look at these guys.
Don't talk seventh century to me.
These guys have a jihadi help desk.
They've got customer service line for would-be attackers out there.
Anyway, to the phones.
I want to get a phone call in the first hour.
Megan, Citrus Heights, California, near my adopted hometown of Sacramento.
How are you doing, Megan?
I'm doing great, Rush.
And I only tell you, you're always right, and I love listening listening to you.
Well, I appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
Very, very astute you are.
Well, you know, my question is all the ISIS going on and Paris bombing.
I know there's 27 states that are not letting refugees in.
What I don't understand why the other states aren't participating.
What is it gonna take for people to wake up and realize Have you heard does the name John Hick and Looper mean anything?
Does it ring a bell to you?
Not really.
Well, he's the governor of College.
Well, he's the he's the governor of Colorado.
Nickname is Puff Puff.
And this guy has said, hey, to all of you states that don't want these Syrian refugees, we'll take them.
Hick and Looper has said, bring them in to Colorado.
These 27 states that don't want them, we'll take them.
But it's madness, Rush.
You know, I look at my child, if you don't mind me saying, I'm a single parent, and I look at my child.
He is 15 months old.
Can't they see this is not anything to even do in our state between Democrat and Republican?
It's about the world.
ISIS is power-hungry madmen that doesn't care if you're Democrat Democrat or Republican.
All they care about is you're an infidel or if you're Christian and they want to kill you.
So at the end of the day, it does not matter.
Well, as we just explained, the problem that we have, one of the many, is that there are many ranking Democrats and intellectual leftists who believe ISIS is justified in their actions because of the way we have conquered and abused and stolen and corrupted and overtaken the world.
We have created this hatred, it's justified.
Now, this, folks, um, there is an argument raging out there, and it's it's raging in many places on constitutional grounds over exactly what Megan is talking about here.
And the argument is you've had these governors, many of them Republican, who have said no to the federal government.
You want to bring in Syrian refugees, we don't want them.
You good you we don't want them here.
A bunch of leftist intellectuals and professors have said the states are powerless.
The states can't tell the federal government what to do here.
Federal government totally in charge of immigration, and they tell you, look at Arizona.
Arizona tried to come up with their own immigration laws, and uh Fed shot them down.
The courts shot them down because immigration is a total 100% federal job.
But it isn't.
These leftist intellectuals are wrong, and they're all over the media today.
The states, look, it's a it's a it's kind of a gray area, but once again, it illustrates the we get mired here in a constitutional argument.
When I say mired, I mean it's valid.
But what it misses is that half the governors in this country do not want.
And the federal government says, we don't care.
You don't care what you get, particularly your Republicans.
We really don't care what you want.
It's another glaring example of how the left is not cooperating with us.
They don't want to walk across the aisle to deal with us.
They just want to mandate things on us while we tell ourselves that we've got to show them we can work with them.
But anyway, there are many more details to this that I will squeeze in at the top of the monologue segment of the next busy broadcast hour.
Headline on a related story.
Obama Congress heading for budget showdown over Syrian refugees.
This is not that where this is headed.
