Time Text
Look at that.
German stadium evacuated.
Soccer game canceled.
Scratch up another terrorist victory.
I don't know.
I'm looking into that.
ISIS has a magazine.
We uh we learn ISIS has a magazine.
They've also got a they got customer service for jihadis in the field.
Need advice on hacking, bomb making.
Just gotta call a customer service number.
It's man 247.
There aren't any ISIS holidays.
I mean, every day is an ISIS holiday.
They're celebrating some religious things, so it's it's it's whether or not uh ISIS has paid family leave for the people that man the uh round the clock help center, don't know.
Whether they have paid family leave for the uh magazine, I don't think they need it.
Who would they the women are not allowed to work anyway?
Women give birth, stay home.
Uh well, but but no, that you wouldn't need any family leave.
The men are not supposed to.
It's the the the the women give birth and then stay home and raise the kids until they become of terrorist age and then bothers take over.
I mean, why would you need paid family leave?
Why would you need family leave if your dog gets sick, you shoot it.
Get a new one.
No dogs, no dogs.
No, I we're we're we're satirizing here, folks.
We're cracking jokes based on what we found in the news today about ISIS.
They really do have a magazine.
I don't know what their subscriber base is, but we read about it in the drive-bys.
They've got a magazine.
The point is that drive-by media is doing everything they can to humanize these people.
These are some of the world's worst criminals, some of the world's worst depraved human beings, and American media is today trying to humanize them with a one-stop shop customer service line for jihadis.
Honest, I'm not making this up.
Don't laugh.
Well, I can't tell you not to laugh, it does sound funny.
But they do have a 24-hour customer helpline.
It's a help desk.
That's actually what it's called.
They have a magazine.
They have restaurant regulation.
They are sanitary.
They have free health care for ISIS members.
We've learned all this today.
And we've learned that ISIS is at least we have to try to understand them.
It's our fault.
They are simply a reaction to American overreach throughout the world.
We have plundered the world's resources and stolen for ourselves.
We've taken from the poorest of the poor, and we've brought it home here, and that's why we're a superpower, and those days are over.
It's totally understandable why we would be hated.
Totally understandable why Western civilization would be the enemy in their eyes, and they'd have to do something about it.
This is what the U.S. media, not just U.S., the worldwide media is telling us today.
Not making any of this up, it's out there.
There's a hacking group called Anonymous.
They're a loose base connection of hackers.
Some of them are white hat, but most of them are black hat hackers.
But they do some white hat work, trying to expose vulnerabilities so people can close them.
But for the most part, they're trying to expose problems in commuter net computer networks and exploit them.
And they have thrown down against ISIS.
Do you realize this anonymous hacker group has had more provocative language toward ISIS than Barack Obama has.
They declared cyber war.
Anonymous has declared cyber war on ISIS after the Paris attacks on Friday.
And their effort, they say, is to totally disrupt the ISIS computer network and expose it and penetrate it so that it is no longer secure.
And today there's News from the Hill.com.
Anonymous is claiming it has eliminated 5,500 ISIS Twitter accounts.
Stop and think of this.
The United States, Barack Obama cannot give a speech and tell us how many ISIS installations they've taken out.
All Obama can do is give a speech and say, I don't like this leadership.
America winning.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's not what I'm about.
That's not going to help anything here.
That kind of sloganeering, that's not what I'm about.
We're not into that.
And he first said this about Afghanistan in 2009.
Yeah, I don't like this concept of American victory.
When I hear that, I think of poor Emperor Hirohito being marched to the battleship Missouri and being forced to sign surrender papers.
We don't want to humiliate people that way.
So I'm not interested.
He said this yesterday.
I'm not making this up, but we played the soundbikes yesterday.
But yet Anonymous has declared cyber war.
They claim they're going to totally disrupt everything about ISIS's computer operation.
And they claim that they have now taken down over 5,000, actually now 5500 ISIS Twitter accounts.
Op Paris is the team orchestrating the digital assault on ISIS.
They tweeted, we report that more than 5,500 Twitter accounts of ISIS are now down.
Several hours later, Op Paris tweeted out a link to other ISIS targets, declaring ISIS tries to stop us, but we are smarter.
ISIS has responded and called them idiots.
ISIS has responded to Anonymous, referring to them as idiots.
Now here's the news on the Trump polling jump.
It's from the Hill.com as well.
Donald Trump has nearly a double-digit lead over Ben Carson in the Republican presidential race.
Trump is ahead of Carson nine points as the top pick among likely Republican primary voters next year, according to the University of Massachusetts survey.
Trump took support from 31% of respondents.
Carson got 22%.
Ted Cruz in third place at 13%.
The only other Republican White House hopeful to score double digits was Marco Rubio.
And he's next at 9%.
Carly Fiorina and John Kasich are tied for fourth and fifth place.
They got 4% each.
Trump also scored a bump in support in a new morning consult poll released today.
He's at 38% in that poll.
That doubles Carson's tally of 19%.
And some of the poll was taken in the days after the Paris terror attacks.
Here is Trump last night in Knoxville, Tennessee, during a campaign event.
I was watching our president talking.
Boy, he does not get it.
He doesn't get it.
And you know, you you hear the term radical Islamic terrorism.
He won't say it.
He won't say it.
And you can't solve a problem if you refuse to talk about what the problem is.
And he won't talk about it.
You know, Trump's having more fun than anybody I've seen on a campaign trail in a long time.
I mean, just down to earth fun.
He goes out there and he says, I was watching our president talking.
The crowd booze and starts who I guarantee you Trump's eats that up, loved that, feeds off of it.
He doesn't get it.
He doesn't get it.
And goes on.
It's a serious question.
Why won't Obama use the term?
Radical Islamic terrorism.
Why will he not use the word terrorist?
Why will he not use the word Islamic terrorism?
People everywhere are wondering.
Why not?
Well, they have an answer for that question, folks.
I have given it to you earlier.
It's not just Obama, but the Democrat Party and the left.
They say that this is not part.
ISIS, Al-Qaeda, none of these people, none of these terrorists are actually part of the religion of peace, which is Islam.
They're just calling themselves Islamists, but they're not.
They are nothing but warmongering ideologues, but they have no connection to real Islam.
They have nothing to do with the religion of Islam, and so we are not going to give them the pleasure of calling them Islamic terrorists.
Obama hasn't specifically said that, but other leading liberal elites and Democrats have.
That this is not part of the religion.
These are a bunch of rigid ideologues.
Now the rejoinder to that is, oh contraire, Islam is an ideology and a religion.
It's both combined.
But anyway, that's the answer.
Now here's Trump continuing here.
This is in Knoxville, Tennessee last night, after he has pointed out that Obama will not refer to these people as who they are and how you can't successfully fight them if you're not going to be honest about who you're facing.
You're talking about sneaky, dirty, underhanded people that want to kill our civilians.
They want to go after our civilians, they want to kill not only our civilians, all over the world.
And it's going to be stopped.
It's going to be stopped.
Somebody criticized me the other day because they asked me what I'd do, and I said, I'm going to bomb the s out of them.
It's true.
I don't care.
I don't care.
They've got to be stopped.
They've got to be stopped, and I'm going to bomb the hell out of them.
I'm going to bomb their oil.
That's the source of their money.
And then he said, and this ought to make every college student just warm and cuddly all over.
Trump said he's going to build a big, beautiful safe zone.
What I like is build a safe zone.
It's here.
Build a big, beautiful safe zone.
And they'll be happier.
They'll be there.
And the weather's the same.
When it's all over, they move back the weather.
A friend of mine lives in Minnesota, and he calls me and says, Can you imagine it's 130 degrees in Syria, and now they want to send some up to Minnesota where it's 30 degrees, but these people are going to be very, very unhappy.
It's cold.
Well, but Bernie Sanders says they're fleeing.
But it's not 130 degrees in Syria.
You might hit 130 degrees some of the desert areas like a day or two.
But that's another thing, folks.
I have seen this too.
There are stories out there bubbling up that the Middle East is approaching the point.
And we're very near it, where human habitation is impossible because of the rising heat.
It is getting so hot in areas of the Middle East that it will soon not be possible for humanity to survive there.
I guess they are going to shut down the air conditioning.
But that is effervescing.
That's bubbling up out there.
And Bernie Sanders of the Democrat debate was perfectly honest, and he was not trying to be funny.
He doesn't know how to be.
He literally said all of this is happening because of climate change.
It's getting so hot that terrorists are fleeing.
Citizens are fleeing because they need to get where it's cooler.
They can't handle the heat anymore.
Therefore, climate change is the number one issue facing the world today.
That if there were no climate change, there wouldn't be any terrorism.
Now, another question born of my common sense.
And this goes back to the explanation I gave you in the last hour, how leftists today are describing America as they advocate for us welcoming and accepting any illegal immigrant or refugee from wherever.
That the United States is this lone experiment in the world.
In freedom and democracy.
And tolerance.
And acceptance.
Civil rights and all that.
And as such, we have to be open to any and all who want to come.
If we're not, the American experiment is failing.
We can't ask any questions.
If they want to come here because they are fleeing oppression of any kind anywhere else, it's not to us to say no.
If we do, we are betraying our founding.
The lone human experiment in freedom and tolerance is the United States of America.
That's how they explain the founding of the country.
So essentially, we have to bring, let's stick with the Syrians now since they are in the news.
We have to bring the Syrians here to test our experiment in democracy.
Because apparently you can't find the kind of freedom and tolerance and openness and whatever else anywhere in the world but here.
So they have to come here.
But for eight years of the Iraq war, these are the same people who mocked, scolded, made fun of, ridiculed the idea of bringing democracy to the Middle East.
Whatever you think of it, it was George Bush's one of his motivations.
George Bush really wanted to act out his belief that all human beings are created with a commonality, a yearning to be free.
That we're all alike in that regard, that it's part of our creation, that we yearn to be free, not controlled, not live under dictatorships and so forth.
He wanted to use Iraq as an experiment.
Bring democracy, freedom, elections, and prove that even in the Middle East, people are the same.
He was laughed at, ridiculed, made fun of even by people on our side.
They said, well, it sounds noble, but it's a lousy reason for war.
Even people on our side said so.
But Bush did believe it.
Bush still does believe it.
The point is he was ridiculed and laughed out of the White House for it.
And what did the critics on the left say?
Well, you're crazy.
Those dumb people over there, they never democracy, freedom, they don't know anything but dictators like Saddam, it's still, it's stupid.
You can't, you can't export freedom like that.
You can't impose freedom on people.
Remember that one?
They laughed at the whole concept of people having free and open elections in the Middle East.
They laughed at the idea that people of the Middle East wanted to be free.
And yet, that's the American experiment.
So now they flip.
Apparently, these people in the Middle East only want freedom and democracy in America.
They don't want it in their own countries.
They don't like it in their own countries.
Now, not only do they want freedom and democracy after us being told for eight years it was impossible for them in Iraq, but now they're mad because we're denying it to them.
Would somebody help me to understand this simply common sensical terms?
For eight years we were told it's no what's a stupid proposition.
Freedom, democracy, Middle East, Bush is an idiot.
The people over there, they're not capable of it.
Even after the Soviet Union fell, American leftists said, you can't give those people freedom.
They've lived under the yoke all these years.
They don't want freedom.
They want to continue to live under big government.
All of a sudden they want to access the experiment of freedom in America, but only in America.
We can't do the experiment where they live.
They don't want it there.
Why?
Tell me what.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Your guiding light, the all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling, all concerned, all everything maha Rushi.
Here at the Limbaugh Institute.
By the way, if the United States is such a flawed place, as the leftists have said, we've aired their sound bites today.
So much racism and so much bigotry and so much torture and so many violations of human rights and civil rights.
Why the hell do these refugees want to come here in the first place?
If this place is so rotten, and I'm just talking, I'm just repeating the words of the Salon.com founder and this author that was on Charlie Rose last night, and I mean we're guilty Of terrorism.
We uh torture Abu Ghrab, we take pictures of them, we're torturing them, and we abuse them, and we violated human rights and civil rights that were so homophobic and so forth.
Why do these refugees want to come to this horrible reprobate place?
Now, also yesterday, Walid Farris, in fact, he's in the Soundbite roster today, too.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
After the upcoming break, we're gonna replay his answer about why Obama took the positions he took yesterday in his press conference speech in Turkey, refusing to identify ISIS, refusing, actually not just refusing, Obama rejecting the concept of American victory, saying, I'm not interested in this America winning or the slogan of American leadership.
That doesn't advance anything.
It's not what I'm about.
It's not applicable here.
Now, even leftist journalists like Geraldo and others are scratching their heads.
And it was Jim Acosta, Jim Acosta who asked the question, Mr. President, when are we gonna go get the bastards?
And that's Obama blew up, you know.
I've answered that question two or three times already.
You what?
I have, I have.
And if you want me to do it again, well then by God, I'll answer the question again.
And he launched into his tirade about how he doesn't care about winning in American leadership.
But even the media, there's a couple of stories in the stack, is the media tipping point been reached, are they turning on Obama?
Not so fast, folks.
But even they, they can't, and they're not going to get behind Obama in his casuality about this.
Sit tight, further evidence of Obama's alignment with Iran on all this.
Half my sizable brain behind my back, just to make it fair.
Rush Limbaugh doing what I was born to do.
Here behind the Golden EIB microphone.
Okay, let's go back.
Yesterday, just shortly after 11 o'clock on the Fox News Channel, Walid Farris guested, he's a Middle East expert, he's an analyst for Fox News, he's a professor at the National Defense University.
And he was asked by co-host John Scott, Waleed, why can't we take him out?
Meaning ISIS.
Why what this is after Obama's speech where everybody is uh scratching their heads incredulous over how non-committal and unaffected by the attack on Friday night, Obama appeared to be.
Waleed, why can't we take ISIS out?
Actually, we can and actually we should, but the president has a different strategy.
He's getting a lot of pressure by the Iranians.
Otherwise, he should have long time ago allied himself, partnered with Arab moderate forces such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, UAE, they are fighting terrorism very much and very well in Yemen and Sinai and Libya, elsewhere.
But the reason that he's not going to these uh moderate Arab forces and asking them on the ground to be boots on the ground is because the Iranians are pressuring him, because the Syrian regime is pressuring him.
They don't want those areas, those Sunni areas to be liberated by Sunni moderates because they won't have access to them.
That's the bottom line of it.
Shi'ite versus Sunni, sectarian violence.
But essentially the answer means that what Iran wants is what Obama is loyal to.
And because of the sectarian violence in all of these, like Iraq and other countries, where the s the Shia and Sunni battle, and you throw the Kurds in in Iraq, which we should arm, by the way, who we should arm.
But the point is ISIS needs chaos.
ISIS causes chaos.
Iraq benefits from the chaos, or Iran benefits from the chaos.
They do not want the Sunni areas to be liberated by the Sunni moderates.
They do not want the sectarian violence solved.
Obama runs around and talks about it as though he does, but he really does because the Iranians don't.
He's actually aligned with the Iranians and as Ferris says here, the Syrian regime, which is puppet of Iran, and they are pressuring him.
Now, if you're saying, come on, Rush, that doesn't make any sense.
Well, ask yourself why in the world did Obama single-handedly lift the sanctions on Iran, which provided them $150 billion that was frozen for them to upgrade their uh civilian airline to fund further terrorist activity.
Why has Obama singularly been focused on making sure that Iran can have a nuclear weapon in ten years or whatever?
It's not Waleed Ferris is exactly right, but I have a story here with evidence that makes him right, not just his opinion.
And the story comes in the Washington Free Beacon, and here's the headline.
But it's not it's the last paragraph of the story that provides the poof.
Obama administration weighs partnership with Russia against ISIS.
See, Putin's out there, he's gonna kick butt.
The Obama regime is considering ways to form a closer partnership with Russia against the Islamic State Terrorist Group, including intelligence and counterterrorism cooperation in the wake of the Paris attacks, according to U.S. officials.
John Brennan, the director of the CIA said that despite significant policy differences between Washington and Moscow on the best method of ending the Syrian conflict, he's continued to engage with Putin's government about how to combat ISIS.
U.S. officials have accused Russia of propping up Basher El Assad in Syria and targeting U.S. backed rebels in Syria with airstrikes rather than seeking to eliminate the terrorist group.
No accusation needed.
The Russians are openly at backing Assad against our allies on the ground.
So what's the good of partnering with them?
We will be further hampered in going after ISIS if we partner with them.
Now, all of that is irrelevant to the premise.
That's just the first paragraph of the story.
The last little note in this story supports the theory of Walid Ferris that Obama's real strategy is to be more on the side of Shiite Iran rather than moderate Sunnis like those in Syria and Iraq who are fighting ISIS.
In fact, the article mentions something simply dumbfounding at the bottom, and it's this quote.
Mark Toner, State Department spokesman, said on Monday at a press briefing that U.S. officials have also urged their Russian counterparts to talk with Assad's government about no longer purchasing oil from the Islamic State.
What?
Are you kidding me?
So now we know why the U.S. has not bombed the ISIS oil fields and refineries.
We don't want to take off Putin and Iran.
Let me further explain.
If Assad and Russia really wanted to destroy ISA, ISIS, you would do what Trump is saying.
You would bomb their oil fields.
Their oil fields are their number one source of funding.
I use that word because liberals love it.
Funding replaces earning.
It implies policy funding, giving people money.
But the bottom line is ISIS has commandeered and taken over a number of oil fields in the region and they are deriving most of their financial benefit from the sale of oil.
It's what's fueling them, so to speak.
Therefore, if Bashar Assad and Russia really wanted to destroy ISIS, that would be Assad wouldn't be buying oil from ISIS.
And that's what this story inadvertently admits with this little quote from our State Department spokesman, who again said, press briefing, we urged our Russian counterparts to talk with Assad's government about no longer purchasing oil from the Islamic State.
So Assad is buying oil from ISIS while we are being told that ISIS is trying to wipe him out.
So if Assad and Russia really wanted to destroy ISIS, and if we really wanted to join them in destroying ISIS, we would first tell Assad you stop buying oil from them, and then we would join forces and take those oil fields out.
And they'd be out of money.
But that's not happening.
Syria is buying oil from ISIS.
Basher Assad is thus funding ISIS.
Now, this also explains why the U.S. hasn't blown up those refineries and oil fields that ISIS now controls.
Because we don't want to tick off Russia and Iran.
It's exactly what Walid Farris said.
Obama has strategized that his best alignment here is with Iran in this fight.
And Iran is aligned with Syria, which we now know is aligned with ISIS.
All of this makes sense.
U.S. backed allies, moderates, supposedly being attacked by Assad, our buddies, our allies being attacked, and we're not doing anything to stop that from happening.
All of this supports the point that Walid Ferris made yesterday on Fox that Obama not rooting, maybe, but the strategy that that Obama has implemented, and therefore the American strategy in all of this is to side with Iran and thus with Russia and Assad over the moderate Sunnis in Iraq and Syria who are ostensibly fighting ISIS.
Supposedly our allies in fighting against ISIS.
This one little tidbit, this throwaway comment from this Department of State secondary spokesman.
Yeah, when we're trying to get oil, we're changing.
Assad's buying oil from ISIS while we are led to believe that Assad's fighting ISIS, and nobody's taking the ISIS oil fields out because the Iranians obviously supporting ISIS because it's in their benefit, all its chaos.
So Waleed Ferris ends up being more right than he probably even knew.
Have sunbites 10 and 11 standing by just in case we get there.
Here's uh here's Mark in Waterford, Michigan.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello?
Yeah.
Hi.
Hi, how are you?
Hey, great.
What's happening?
What's going on?
What's happening?
What do you hear?
Well, you tell me.
Okay, let me slow down.
I'm I'm going down a dirt road, so I'm stopping.
How's that?
That's good.
That's good.
Better?
Really fine.
Okay.
Um, earlier you were talking about Bernie Sanders blaming global warming on the reason that the Syrians wanted to leave Syria.
That's right.
And I found that rich with irony, considering the fact that I read an article online this weekend, and I believe it was from Ceylon or the Huffpo that interviewed some of the Syrian refugees in Germany and the Germany, the uh refugees from Syria were so dissatisfied with the conditions in Germany.
They were complaining because they didn't have TV, they didn't have a lot of people.
That's right.
They were they were complaining about how cold it was.
And that's what that was the thing they said.
They that was the last thing that I read in this article.
It said they were they were it was so cold there, if it didn't, if it didn't get warmer, they wanted to go back.
I did I saw that myself.
I didn't see that last part, but I saw the whole thing myself where they were complaining about a lot of things.
They were complaining about where they were being put.
They were complaining about lack of uh benefits, food, and so forth.
Really ungrateful reprobates when you get right down to it.
And they they were complaining about it was how cold it was.
Yeah.
So that is that is deeply ironic.
And of course it blows it blows Bernie Sanders' smitharines.
I I'm a lifelong Michigan resident.
Born born raised, grew up in Michigan, lived here my whole life, even lived in northern Michigan for 32 years.
I spent eight months out in the California desert on a work on a job project out there, and I was there through the summer where temperatures got up to 120 degrees.
Honest to God, I absolutely loved it.
The heat was just great.
When I came back to Michigan, I looked for ways to move out to the desert, but you know, let me tell you something.
I've I've lived in Florida since 1997, and I had I I went to see my uh my family in Missouri on Saturday, and it was I I wasn't thinking.
I I I put on a pair of shorts and a golf shirt and got on the airplane, flew up.
It was sixty degrees to get off the airplane, but fifty seven o'clock at night.
It was freaking cold to me.
It's amazing.
My point is how you would uh acclimate, particularly to humidity.
I can tell you, after years and years here of high humidity heat, it can be 75 or 80 here in the winter with no humidity, and you can feel chilly.
Not cold, don't misunderstand.
But there's a definite difference in the 80 degrees in January and the 80 or even 70 degrees of July.
Because of the uh the humidity.
So I appreciate the call, Mark.
I really do.
I have a story here.
I've got a whole stack of stuff here that has nothing to do with anything that we have talked about here today, including the Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Texans game last night.
High deductibles force many to opt out of Obamacare.
Have you Mattel has introduced a boy in the Barbie commercials?
I am not kidding.
Uh boys apparently like Barbie dolls, and so Mattel is using boys in Barbie doll commercials on TV now.
Nah no no no no no.
Barbie, don't give me this G.I. Joe stuff.
Boys, and by the way.
Well, I'll just I'll save this tomorrow.
There's not enough time to really do justice and delve into what they're really doing here with this.
Well, it's no not necessarily transgender, but it could be gay.
Well, women love gay guys.
They're there certainly no threat.
They're fashion conscious.
I mean, they just they fit the bill.
They don't want sex.
I mean, it's nirvana.
Anywho, and JJ Watt apparently upset Andy Dalton last night, a quarterback of the Bengals.
Uh his nickname's the Red Rifle, Dalton.
He's redheaded red rifle.
And JJ Watts, our goal was to come out here and make the red rifle look like a red rider BB gun, which is a toy.
And Andy Dalton's all offended over this.
I mean, like a college student feeling unsafe or offended.
It's it's I have it here.
I'm not I have to save it for tomorrow.
I I promise I'll put this all this stuff on the top of tomorrow's stacks.
Well, that's it again.
Over before anybody wants it to be.
But that's okay.
Always leave them wanting more.
The common creed of the EIB network.
Thank you as always for being with us today.
And back here tomorrow.
See you then, same time.
