No, I'm telling you, I think that I think the Chelsea video is a hoax.
It's just, it was too cliched.
It fits every stereotype too perfectly.
Young girl, millennial, in politics, trying to make a difference, trying to help people, trying to be, you know, like really involved.
And she making phone calls for Bernie.
Because we love Bernie.
We're not talking with them.
And then out of the blue, she ends up talking to Trump voters.
She's working a Bernie Sanders phone back.
And we all know that to get out the vote.
That's not calling people to argue with them or change their mind.
Just get out the vote.
And she's talking to, ends up talking to Trump people who are so mean.
And it made me cry.
These are Mexicans.
And animals.
And these white people.
And I don't even know what it means to be white anymore.
Starts crying about that.
And then these people, these people, they still think they won the Civil War.
It's like talking to less than a brick wall.
It's way just what it's like.
When I heard, it's like talking to people who still won the Civil War.
She's not old enough to know what the Civil War is.
And there's no question she's probably not been accurately taught about the Civil War anyway.
So I think the whole thing, it was just, it's too pat.
It's gone viral too fast.
And I think it's designed a typical Democrat trick to portray the words of this innocent young flower of a Sanders supporter.
Not yet pollinated.
How mean and vicious.
Out there.
And then there's this, folks.
You see the report in the hill.com over the weekend, a Bernie supporter.
A Bernie Sanders supporter was investigated by the Secret Service for trying to post an obituary in the newspaper for Hillary.
That's right.
February 20th, the Hill.com Clinton obituary notice prompt Secret Service report.
A man who appears to be a Bernie Sanders supporter has been reported to the Secret Service after trying to leave an obituary notice for Hillary Clinton in a Nevada newspaper.
The man who identified himself as Don Schubert filed the obit Friday with the Las Vegas Review Journal.
The newspaper reported the notice listed Clinton's date of death as Saturday, the day of the Nevada Democrat caucuses.
He was asked to leave the building, was later reported to the Secret Service by the newspaper, the Review Journal.
And get this, it turns out that the guy who did this hosts Bernie Sanders phone banks, just like our young flower, Chelsea, hosts Bernie Sanders phone banks.
The official Sanders campaign website also lists Don Schubert's house in Long Beach, California as a volunteer phone bank site.
So here's this guy running a Bernie phone bank.
And actually post an obituary for Hillary Clinton.
You got to love it.
But I'm just saying, it looks like some dirty tricks are coming out of the Sanders camp, folks.
And the dirty tricks are aimed at Hillary and also at Trump.
Well, and the Republicans, the conservatives in general.
And if I'm wrong, if her video is genuine and if everything she says happened happened and she was minding her own business calling Bernie supporters and some of them started shouting at her about Mexicans and the Civil War and reduced her to tears, then, well, we're very, very sorry for that.
It's very, very sad.
Really, very sad that that happened.
I'm sorry she had such a rude awakening to the political system in America.
I know it's not what they learned in kindergarten.
And it's got to be.
Oh yeah, these people were worse than I don't know what it means to be white anymore.
What does that mean?
I don't know what it means to be white.
That's not something a Bernie supporter would say.
And if somebody's running around talking like that, it's going to be from an entirely different demographic group.
Anyway, I just wanted to be on record as thinking, to me, it sounds like a hoax.
I could be wrong, but it sounds just too pet.
Greetings and welcome back.
It's a delight to have you here, 800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
I have to tell you, I was kind of blown away watching Obama today.
He was on time for the most part.
He was scheduled to show up at 10.30 and make comments regarding the closing, finally, of Club GITMO, where we have a thriving licensed merchandise business, by the way, merchandise business.
One of the first things Obama did to refresh your memories, I mean, it was the first week that he was in office.
He's up there reading all these executive orders and making announcements about their intentions.
And he's got some guy there named Greg Craig, who was a Washington lawyer who had been involved in sending Elian Gonzalez back home to the communists from Florida.
And Obama's going through these things he's going to do and his executive orders, and he had to stop in the middle of it and say, What are we doing here, Greg?
What's going on here, Greg?
And Greg gets kind of embarrassed because he wrote it for Obama to say, and Obama didn't quite understand it.
But they ended up talking about they're going to close Gitmo.
They're going to close Guantanamo Bay.
It's where we're keeping the terrorists in a toroton.
It's horrible.
It's where waterboarding went on.
It's a recruitment plus for the terrorists.
We have this prison there, and he's been promising to close for seven years.
So he goes out there today to announce that he's going to close it.
And really, I was stunned watching this.
For one thing, the issue, as far as Obama goes, is seven years old now.
There hasn't been any sense of urgency about this in seven years.
Not like this today.
And yet, there he was portraying this, closing the prison at Gitmo as one of the most pressing, urgent, important, we can't delay any longer things that we face today.
He went on about how hard he has been working for seven years to close this.
He said that our allies call him every day demanding answers, wanting to know when we are going to close Gitmo.
Because GIFMO, according to Obama and our allies, is the number one terrorist recruitment tool in the world, which, of course, cannot possibly be true.
Well, okay, I'll be glad to demonstrate that.
What is Guantanamo Bay?
It's a prison in Cuba.
Who's there?
Battlefield captured terrorists.
Right now, there are 107 of them there.
All these allies, Obama says, all of our allies are calling him every day, demanding to know what we're going to do, when we're going to close it.
None of them want any of the prisoners, however, and Obama said that.
So what are we going to do with them?
What do you think we're going to do?
We're going to transfer them here, folks.
We're not letting them out of prison.
We're changing the prison.
We're going to move them from Guantanamo to Supermax facilities in the United States.
Now, if Guantanamo is the number one terrorist recruitment tool in the world, guess what's going to happen?
Our Super Max prisons are going to become the number one terrorist recruitment because they're still going to be in prison.
This is A, it was insulting to my intelligence, but it was absurd to boot because we know what the number one terrorist recruitment tool is, is Islamic supremacy, Islamic superiority, Islamic ideology.
The Imams, the mosques, that's where the recruitment am.
Are you kidding me that Guantanamo Bay, the number one terrorist recruitment tool in the world?
That's no different than Obama saying the United States, defending itself and protecting itself, is the number one terrorist recruitment tool in the world.
So essentially, Obama just insults the United States again and basically claims that our very existence is putting us at risk because our very existence is angering young Islamic men and inspiring them to jihad.
When anybody with half a brain knows that's not the case, what's inspiring them to Islamic jihad is their mothers, their fathers, the imams, the mosques, and Islamic supremacy as it is taught.
To be consistent, if Guantanamo Bay was making the United States an even bigger target, we would release them.
No matter whether another country would accept them or not, we would release them.
And then we would not be as big a target, right?
Because then we would be nice people and we would be understanding and we would no longer be holding Islamic terrorists prisoners.
But we're not going to release them.
We're just going to move them.
So we're really to believe here that a facility, a brick and mortar facility, maybe a couple palm trees, but you get the drift.
In Cuba is what is really putting us at risk from further terrorist attacks.
I thought it was Apple.
But it was iPhones.
Now we're finding it's Club Gitmo.
Okay, so we're going to move them to American prisons here in America, continental United States.
Where Obama says, no, worry, they'll never get out.
We're going to put them in these Super Max.
There's never been an escape.
That's not what we're worried about.
There hasn't been an escape from Gitmo either.
That's not the thing.
The attempted escape becomes the problem.
What happens if you have a terror cell that decides it wants to attack one of these Super Max prisons under the premise of trying to get one of these or two of these prisoners out?
It's still increasing the risk for people who work at our prisons and people who live near them in any other number of ways.
This move doesn't make any sense.
Close Gitmo under these premises, it's ridiculous.
That a brick and mortar facility with some palm trees and a beach happens to be the number one terror recruitment.
That telegraphs to the world what a bunch of rotten, mean people America has.
And so in order to eliminate and get rid of that threat, we're going to move them to American prisons where they're supposed to then go, okay, we are happy now.
You have closed Guantanamo Bay and put them at Super Demaxion, Colorado.
We love you now.
Is that how this works?
It's crazy.
But that's what Obama said he's going to do.
Once again, if you strip it all away, what Obama said was that it's the very existence of the U.S., our laws, and our enforcement of our laws that really ticks them off out there, really angers them and makes us a bigger target.
If we just stopped enforcing our laws, if we just stopped imprisoning captured terrorists, why they would respect us more, they would love us more and maybe attack us less.
Here, listen to yourself, Obama.
Two soundbites here from this morning at the White House.
Number one.
When it becomes clear that something is not working as intended, when it does not advance our security, we have to change course.
For many years, it's been clear that the government is a good person.
Wait a second.
QQ that back up.
What evidence is there that these prisoners being in prison is not enhancing or advancing our security?
It most certainly is.
The people in the prison are not free to go out and conduct attacks.
I'm so glad this is about over, but this just reminds me what absolute horror these last seven years have been dealing with this kind of, I don't care what the issue is.
I don't care if it's health care.
I don't care whatever this guy was.
We get this kind of nonsense, BS lies that insult everybody's intelligence.
Mr. Trump, you really want a guy that's not telling the truth about things.
Focus on this guy.
This guy, this guy is leading the pack.
This guy and the Clintons, they're making pikers out of anybody else you happen to think is lying out there.
Okay, play this thing again from the top.
When it becomes clear that something is not working as intended, when it does not advance our security, we have to change course.
For many years, it's been clear that the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay does not advance our national security.
How so?
It undermines it.
How?
Keeping this facility open is contrary to our values.
Whoa, come on!
It undermines our standing in the world.
It is viewed as a stain on our broader record of upholding the highest standards of rule of law.
What an absolute crock.
That's the biggest, most gigantic filled crock I have encountered from this guy in a long time.
He's essentially saying, for many years, it's been clear that the prison does not advance our national security.
Our prison undermines it.
Keeping the prison open is contrary to our values.
What freaking values is he now besmirching?
This is the constant go-to for Obama.
It's not reflecting our values.
I don't think his values are mine, folks.
Not too many of them.
But clearly, keeping Islamic terrorists in prison undermines our standing in the world.
Do you notice it's always about that?
It goes back to 2008, the Iraq War, Obama's campaign, making the world love us again.
And now it's been open for seven years under his auspices.
Once again, the Limbaugh theorem on display.
Obama acting like somebody else has kept it open.
Somebody else is making this country at great risk.
Somebody else is denying our values.
Somebody else is making us look really bad around the world.
He's going to come in, save the day, and close the place down, even though for seven years, with all of these reasons hanging over his head, every day he couldn't be bothered to close it.
But now that he's leaving, and he even said, you know, Biden and I are leaving, so we don't even have to be political about it anymore.
We can do the right thing.
Well, that's a tantamount admission that the reason he didn't shut it down is because of politics.
Get this.
Get this next bite.
We have time here.
I've been working for seven years now to get this thing closed.
Right.
That's enough.
Stop the tape and go to a break.
I've been working for seven years to get this thing, as though somebody's been out there stopping him.
As though somebody, these dark forces, powerful forcemen standing in his way.
He's president of the United States for crying.
It's the same reaction I have when I listen to Hillary or Bernie talk about the economy or health care.
Who the hell's been in charge for crying out loud?
Hey, look at me.
I'm going to tell you what this is really all about.
What Obama wants, before he can move these people, they have to have a trial.
And by the way, all these calls that he's getting from our allies asking about Gitma, what they're really asking is, will we take their refugees?
That's what they're really asking.
They want to get rid of their rabble.
They're asking if we'll take them at Club Gitmo.
They're not asking Obama when he's going to shut it down so America's values are restored.
What a crock.
What this is about is giving many of these incarcerated terrorist bad guys trials as though they are citizens.
Obama knows plenty of radical left-wing lawyers that cannot wait to defend these guys, paid for by the United States government.
You remember how Obama and Eric Holder, they wanted to bring Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to New York for a trial?
And there was such an outrage.
He still wants that.
Now, you might be saying, what does he want to put them on trial for?
Well, folks, some people may not yet have learned this or may not yet have gotten the point where they can accept it.
But Obama disagrees profoundly with everything we did in Iraq and the war on terror.
He disagrees with everything about it.
He doesn't like that we are at war with Islam, and he wants these terrorists to be able to testify to what rotten treatment they got.
He wants these people in American courts shouting their grievances of the United States to the world.
He wants trials for many of these people before he moves them to American prisons.
And the reason he wants trials is he wants to give them a voice.
And in the process of conducting their defense, they bring witnesses.
They testify maybe themselves to their mistreatment, to how horrible the United States has been in their native countries, to their families, their friends, or whatever.
Brace yourselves, because that's the desire here.
This is about making the United States face in front of the world the horror and the terror it has brought to otherwise innocent and harmless people around the world.
Make no mistake that that is part and parcel of what is desired here.
Back in a moment.
Now don't misunderstand.
Obama can't close Gitmo on his own.
And that's what this thing was all about today.
The dark forces standing in Obama's way of closing Club Gitmo has been a bipartisan Congress, which has voted time after time in bipartisan majorities to not fund, to not pay for, moving these terrorists.
So once again, Obama wants to go out and use illegal executive orders to bypass as much as he can with public pressure.
And that's why all this malarkey about it's not true to our values, it's putting us at greater risk.
It's just condescendingly insulting.
Here's the second Obama soundbite, by the way.
Here it is, number 30.
3, 2, 1, here.
In order to affect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo and promptly to close the detention facility at Guantanamo consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice, I hereby order.
And we then provide the process whereby Guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now.
We will be.
Is there a separate executive order, Greg, with respect to how we're going to dispose of the.
Hold it.
That that that.
No, number 30 is the second Obama bite talking about, well, no, 29 is the first Obama bite, and 30 is the second Obama bite.
31, is that what you just played?
That's the numbers I've got.
That was Obama telling Greg Craig.
I'm trying to follow.
What is this?
Okay, let me explain this.
Here's the bite that I wanted says this.
Obama, I've been working for seven years now to get this thing closed.
As president, I've spent countless hours dealing with this.
I do not exaggerate about that.
Our closest allies raise it with me continually.
And that's the bit about him calling him, raising it, and making him think that he wants us to think that they want it closed.
When if they're calling him, it's because they want us to accept their refugees at Gitmo.
They don't want it closed.
They want to send us their dregs and everything else.
Obama's trying to twist it around and say, oh, no, no.
They want us to close Club Gitmo, and that's making everybody look bad.
Now, when he says he spent seven years trying to close it, these dark forces, it's Congress, bipartisan.
Democrats and Republicans have refused to pay for it.
They do not want these prisoners here.
And they do not want them to have trials.
There are some Democrats who don't want any part of this, but Obama does.
He wants them brought here so they can have trials.
He wants to put them in Supermax prisons here, which still has them in prison, which still is not our values, which still makes the prison a target for potential attacks, trying to effect an escape.
I mean, what's the difference if they're in prison here or there?
It seems like we're safer if they're in prison in Cuba.
Closest thing we'll ever have to Alcatraz here.
This is all so damn convoluted.
And I'm telling you what this is.
He wants these trials.
He wanted the Khaled Sheikh Mohammed trial.
He wanted it public.
He wants it on television.
He wants these people telling the world how rotten they've been treated by the United States, how unfairly they've been treated.
They want these, he wants these people to recount all of the horrors they have experienced at the hands of the U.S. military.
And who knows whatever else.
Because I'm here to tell you that Obama resents the heck of the entire war on terror and its premise.
He won't even identify it.
He will not even say Islamic terror.
You can't even say terrorism.
You can't say jihad, none of this stuff.
Now, I do, just since I mentioned this, grab what on my sheets number 31 is the soundbite you just played.
This is 2009, January 22nd, 2009.
I mean, the day after Obama's been emaculated here.
And where he first brings up the whole notion of closing Club Gitmo.
And he's got this famed Washington lawyer, Greg Craig, with him there.
They're in the Oval Office.
And Obama has signed the executive order calling for the closure of Guantanamo Bay within one year.
In order to affect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo And promptly to close the detention facility at Guantanamo consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice, I hereby order.
And we then provide the process whereby Guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now.
We will be is there a separate executive order, Greg, with respect to how we're going to dispose of the detainees?
Is that it ready?
We will be setting up a process whereby this is going to be taking place.
So here's our young boy wonder president here announcing he's going to close Club Guidmo.
No thought has been given to what the hell we're going to do with him.
So in the middle of announcing his executive order, he has to turn to the guy who actually wrote it, Greg Craig, who's the guy who got Elian Gonzalez out of that little house in Florida and sent back down to the communists in Cuba.
He says, Greg, is there a separate order here for what we're going to do with the disposal detainees?
And says, we're going to set up a process.
Oh, oh, yeah, right, right.
We'll be setting up a process whereby this is going to be taken.
So he just ran out there.
The first thing he wanted to do was satisfy these radical left-wing lunatics that had elected him who thought that his election was all about closing Guantanamo because of this silly notion about our values or what have you.
And it looked like he'd not even seen these.
It looked like these had been pre-written for him, and he was sent out there to read them.
What are we doing next, Greg?
What are we doing next?
Anyway, to the phones, we go, this is Lena in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Yes, good afternoon.
Yes.
I have a question.
What is that?
So, this morning, Obama gives his little speech, and then in March, he's going to go visit Cuba.
Right.
Is it possible that he's going to just hand over the naval base over to Cuba?
And can he do so unilaterally without Congress' approval?
No.
No.
He can't do it.
Well, wait, look.
With this guy, look, there has to be caveats.
I know.
The law says that he cannot randomly, discriminately, not only hand bases over to people.
He can't close them on his own.
We have a separate base closure commission of former government officials who, since they can't, they're not in office, they can't, the flack they get won't affect them.
Our current elected officials don't want their fingerprints on anything like that.
So we set up blue ribbon panels to close bases.
And we've been doing that for at least 15 years.
But, no, he can't just hand it over to Castro.
Castro's, by the way, it's a good question you're asking because Castro just despises the fact that we have a presence there.
Just despises that there is still a naval base at Guantanamo Bay.
Now, your real question is: if he could, would he?
And you can probably answer that yourself, Lena.
If he could, he would.
If he could, he would.
He would have done it already.
Yeah.
Well.
Well, he doesn't want to go over there empty-handed.
That's why I thought about this.
Well, he doesn't need to give them Guantanamo in order to.
No.
He's already given them the gift of.
He's just propped up this communist regime when they were about to implode.
He just propped them up.
He's given them life.
Yeah.
He's not going to Cuba empty-handed, and he's not going to come back empty-handed either.
Anyway, I'm not going to begrudge him going to Cuba.
I'd like to go to Cuba.
But no, I'm too famous.
I couldn't.
I can't do those kinds of things.
Do you mean they don't know me there?
You have no idea.
In your dreams, they don't know me there.
They most assuredly do know me in Cuba.
They've got a couple of five-star hotels in Havana.
Well, international five-star.
Look, they do have a couple of really, for Cuba, 10-star, yeah, worldwide.
They've got a couple from.
I'm reporting what I've been told by people who have been there.
It's not very many.
I mean, most people still walking around with their hands out hoping that the Castros will give them a rice cooker.
Now, the general population over there is still a day trip to Cuba.
Yeah, but I can't get in there and get out.
No, no, Americans still do not have blanket freedom.
You still have to get certain kind of visas to get in there.
Not much has really changed yet on that.
There have to be specific reasons where you get a journalist visa.
They wouldn't give me one.
I don't think.
I wouldn't want to go on a journalist visa anyway.
But it's a little bit easier to get there, but it's not just if you want to go go.
Although, I did read recently a bunch of airlines are expanding the number of flights from the United States to Cuba.
It's going to be an incredible number of, what is it, daily or weekly flights whenever they get it up and running.
But, no, I mean, when I said I'm too famous, I couldn't go there and not be noticed and followed around and inspected, you know, documented and with news reported back when I just couldn't do it.
I'm too famous for this.
And as Don't think, they don't know you in Cuba.
If you only knew, folks, if you only knew.
By the way, I just want to reiterate again, because I kind of threw this out there and mentioned in passing, do you see where the FBI, the Department of Justice, oh, by the way, after we get into this terrorist phone, after Apple lets us in, we have 12 other phones here that we need help getting into.
And they're not related to terrorism.
Other crimes, not related to terrorism, not terrorist-possessed phones.
There's 12 other phones that, oh, by the way, we want Apple to get us in these 12, too.
It's not going to stop.
Let's see.
One other thing, just from the New York Times on November 15th last year, 2015, just a few months ago, the latest defense bill out of the House even explicitly forbids the closing of Guantanamo Bay.
As recently as November, that's what Obama's all fired up about.
So who knows what he's going to do when he's down there or even before?
Here's Pam in Brentwood, Tennessee.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Fine.
Thank you.
I have been listening to you since I was in college and I'm 48 now.
And today was the first day I had to call in because I was ticked off.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
I'm sorry, Rush.
I was.
I just felt like you had an opportunity to share Marco Rubio's true, true stance on immigration.
And that one snippet from O'Reilly, and I realize you can't play it all, but you could have expanded upon it and shared exactly what he was saying.
Okay, okay, hang on.
Pam, hang on.
I'm going to find here.
It may take me a half hour to find it, but I want to find the sound bite of, and I want to play it for you, and I want you to say, oh, look, I found it.
It's number 30.
We've obviously got two number 30s here.
So I don't know what number this is for you, but it's Rubio tells the base what it doesn't want to hear is what it's titled.
And it's from Fox News last night.
So, Mike, when you've found that, let me.
Okay.
So, Pam, I'm going to play this, and then you and I will talk about it.
And if you're ticked off at me, and you're not the only one for not telling the full story, you'll have your opportunity to do so.
Here, O'Reilly's question is of Rubio.
Your vision is to deal with illegal aliens here who have broken our laws.
How?
What will you try to sell the voters?
And here's what Senator Rubio said.
As far as the 12 million that are here, look, I don't believe the American people support some sort of militaristic roundup of individuals, and I don't think you could carry it out.
The sort of tactics it would require would offend the American people.
And the good news is we don't have to do it that way.
If you secure our border, if you secure our border, if you put in place mandatory E-Verify, if you put in place a mandatory entry-exit tracking system, if we prove to the American people that illegal immigration is finally under control, I think the American people will respond in a very rational, reasonable, but responsible way.
And that's the end of our bite.
And my comment was that I'm not sure that that's what Republican primary voters want to hear, because what it means is that once we get the border secure, we are not going to do anything about the 12 million here illegally except find a way to make them legal.
And that's simply not his stance.
And I have to admire Marco Rubio for not exploiting the anger of the American people on this immigration situation.
I look at myself as a realistic conservative, and the people I talk to and my friends who are of different political viewpoints all feel the same way.
And it is unrealistic for anyone to think that Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are going to deport 12 million people.
And so Marco Rubio went on and discussed his E-Verify.
And again, it may be the uninformed electorate, but if you read what that means, it means you come out of the shadows.
You have to register.
If you don't, you're deported.
You also deport criminal illegals.
And I don't get the fact that people aren't sharing his stance on immigration.
And we know you know that.
Well, because you've just, now you're going to really hate me.
You know, you don't know it's not your problem, Pam, but I'm being beat up these past two weeks, like you can't imagine.
For every one of you, there's 10 Cruz people calling, and there's 15 Trump people calling, and then there's four Kasich people calling.
I can't win.
This is what happens.
If I endorsed one of them, it'd be even worse.
What you just described comes right out of the gang of eight bill.
The E-Verify, I've had it explained to me by no less than Senator Schumer.
And that's my point here.
Well, I guess I'm concerned that people listen to you and they cling to your words because you 99 point whatever percent of the time are usually right.
Eight.
Okay.
Eight percent of the time you're usually right.
And when you make it seem like it's a realistic option for Donald Trump, I'm just giving you my interpretation.
No, no, no.
You're not clinging to my words.
You now are interpreting them.
I'm just talking about what people are saying and how the base might respond to it.
Right.
Sam, I want you to hang out.
No, this is important, and I need you to hold on for a while.
If you can't, maybe you can give us your number.
We'll call you back when it's time to get back.
I've got to go.
I've got to take a break here.
Mr. Snerdley will explain it to you, but I will expand on this in a moment.
It is the fastest three hours in media, my friends.
This, I mean, this is heavy breathing here in order to keep up.
So we got a chance here to catch our collective breath here at the top of the hour with an obscene profit timeout.
Perhaps local news, biased or unbiased, depending on your station.
