Time Text
You know, so I stepped out of the room, which I normally do during the big top of the hour break.
And I walk back into the room and I got the monitors on here, and I see the Chiron graphic at the bottom of the Fox News monitor.
And it says up there that investigators are still looking for a motive.
And America just looks at this and pulls it.
So what the hell are you still looking for a motive for?
It's another reason why Donald Trump has pulled off what he has pulled off here.
Anyway, greetings and welcome back.
It's great to have you as always, my friends.
Really, really delighted to be back.
Been looking forward to it since about my seventh day away.
No, no, no.
No, no, I I I was gonna say I've been looking forward to it since my first day away.
But I figured I'd be realistic.
No, no, no.
I didn't get bored.
Um, no, no.
But I just I've been looking forward to getting back, and here we are.
800 282-2882, if you want to be on the program at the email addresses, Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
Still looking for a motive.
Investigators are still looking for a motive.
You know, this just insults our intelligence.
It's like Obama.
You know, I I I I watched a little bit more of Obama's little speech that was suspiciously timed to start right when my first program after vacation is starting.
I don't think it's a coincidence.
And something struck me.
And I think when I when I when I saw him go into this protracted two and a half minute segment on why it is irrelevant to call a militant Islamists and why he doesn't use the term because it does any strategic value.
It just you know what the guy sounded like.
Honest, and and this is I don't know.
It sounds to me like it's the way defense lawyers talk.
You know, when you've when they when there's a suspect and you got a defense lawyer, well, there's no conclusive evidence here.
We're still looking for a motive.
You haven't found the right mo.
Obama comes every one of these things.
Every one of these events, Obama ends up sounding like defense lawyers speak on behalf of their clients.
He doesn't, he doesn't reflect the national mood about these things.
It's not even close.
And of course, everybody knows the reason he won't refer to the term, use the term Islamic, militant Islamists or whatever.
Because he has yet to admit that that's what we're up against.
And if he would actually go out and use the term and identify who it is we're actually up, it would totally force a complete change in strategy.
You realize Obama's strategy in dealing with this has nothing to do with who these people are.
As far as he's concerned, they're just a bunch of militants that got hold of some guns.
As in, fast and furious.
There's nothing in his world, there's nothing that sets these people apart from any other band of bad guys or criminals.
And that's how he talks about them, and that's what makes me suspicious.
There's clearly a difference.
These people announce their intentions, they announce their objectives, and then they go fulfill them.
They call in the middle of their murderous rampage, they call 911 and tell everybody what they're doing and why.
And we still say we have no reason to suspect that there was anything behind.
We don't know investigators still looking for a motive.
Obama comes out, and it sounds like rather than condemning, he sees the need to deflect suspicion away from them.
That's the way it sounds to me.
It's something, it's just off, folks.
It just doesn't make any sense.
It never has made any sense.
America is a soul.
9-11, and it's the same thing.
And it's not just Obama, it's the whole Democrat Party, whenever something like this happens, we have to examine our own selves and ask ourselves why we have made them so mad.
Why have we done whatever it is we've done?
Why have we made the why do they dislike us?
As though they're justified in this somehow.
And of course the answer is, well, there's a bunch of right wing Christians in America, and everybody knows what a bunch of bigots they are.
That's the Democrat Party's current explanation for every one of these attacks.
Or the NRA, which, of course, is part of the Christian establishment, if you will, has to be.
And meanwhile, everybody sees these things in the exact opposite way, knows full-fledged.
We won't have to question anything.
We just have to listen to them.
Thank you.
They are doing what they said they were gonna do.
And even that's not enough.
To conclude that we understand the motivation.
A couple of more Obama sound bites from the he was at the Treasury Department over there.
That's that's where he was with this impromptu speech or a I don't know what it was.
I don't think it was a presser.
I don't think he took any questions, right?
So just a statement on Orlando.
That's what it was.
He could have done that at 11 o'clock.
He could have done it at 10 o'clock.
He could have done it.
He could have done it at any time.
He he chose a start time of 1155, which is an automatic start time of 1206-10, which is when this program starts.
Anyway, here's a couple of more laying into Trump, by the way.
Here's the first one.
We're starting to see where this kind of rhetoric and loose talk and sloppiness about who exactly were fighting, where this can lead us.
We now have proposals from the presumptive Republican nominee for president of the United States to bar all Muslims from emigrating to America.
We hear language that singles out immigrants and suggests entire religious communities are complicit in violence.
Where does this stop?
The Orlando killer, one of the San Bernardino killers, the Fort Hood killer, they were all U.S. citizens.
Are we going to start treating all Muslim Americans differently?
Are we going to start subjecting them to special surveillance?
Why does nobody see the fact that they're all American citizens as something to investigate?
It's a cover.
If they are sleepers or members of sleeper cells...
Certainly coming here at a young age, becoming acclimated, establishing yourself as somebody unworthy of uh suspicion or threat, your ideal.
You can pass all kinds of inspection.
You can pass all kinds of investigation.
Yeah, he's a citizen, nothing to worry about here.
Why does nobody see this as part of the strategy?
Instead, this is what I mean Obama's sounding like a defense lawyer.
He's defending these guys and now lashing out at Trump.
Trump's language had nothing to do with anything.
The shooter was very clear why he did what he did.
Now, let me tell you something.
There's another possibility here.
Who is it?
His wife or girlfriend or whatever says that he said he was he was gay.
Okay, what if and that he was a regular visitor to this uh gay nightclub, the pulse.
Okay.
What happens if the guy was rejected in there?
What happens if the guy's been going in there and been laughed at, laughed out of the joint, mistreated, made fun of, who knows what?
I mean, if you're looking for alternative motives, if you can't simply accept what's right in front of your face, I'm giving you another one, another possibility.
But in either case, the blame falls on the shooter who pulled the trigger.
So you get San Bernardino, you got Ford Hood, got Orlando.
Now the the Boston uh marathon bomb, the uh scenario, I don't know if they're citizens or not.
Were they citizens?
Right, they got it on visas.
Um a lot of these terror attacks on Obama's watch.
Okay, so you don't like that.
Okay, so they they're they're just average ordinary American citizens.
They may be from Afghanistan, they may be from uh Syria, they may be from wherever.
They come here and they're young and their parents are going to get born and become American citizens at sweetness and light and so forth, and one day they get radicalized.
Yep.
And that's where America's to blame, you see.
The internet, America, whatever.
They get radicalized.
How'd they get radicalized?
How does it have they come here and they're American citizens?
How do they get radicalized?
How does that happen?
Who would be responsible.
You think Trump's responsible for that?
Obama wants to tell us that Guantanamo Bay is responsible for that, or that photos of Abu Ghrab are responsible for that.
Or that conducting war on Osama bin Laden is res.
If you noticed everything we do to defeat this enemy is said to be responsible for the existence of the enemy.
It always comes back in their minds to being our fault.
And that's what I mean by Obama sounding like he's defending this.
And is more at home and more comfortable attacking people who have nothing to do with it.
Here is the next and final sound by Obama wasn't done.
Um you'll hear, I think, some anger here.
Do Republican officials actually agree with us?
Because that's not the America we want.
It doesn't reflect our democratic ideals.
It won't make us more safe, it won't make us less safe.
See?
Fueling ISIL's notion that the West hates Muslims, making young Muslims in this country and around the world feel like no matter what they do, they're gonna be under suspicion and under attack.
It makes Muslim Americans feel like their government is betraying them.
It betrays the very values America stands for.
I don't know if when I hear this guy start talking about American values, I don't recognize a lot of them, honestly.
I don't know, his values to me are not traceable to the founding.
His values that he's appropriating and claiming to be American values are the values of a bunch of people that really don't like this country.
The American left, the Democrat Party, American progressives.
But did you hear this?
Do Republican officials actually agree with this?
Because that's not the America we want.
It doesn't reflect our Democrat ideals.
It won't make us more safe, it'll make us less safe.
Fueling ISIL's notion the West hates Muslims is what makes young Muslims radical.
Oh, that see, it always comes back to us, folks.
A militant Islamist shot up a gay nightclub, and it's our fault.
It's Donald Trump's fault.
We are making them because of our bigotry and prejudice and our mean words.
Let me tell you something, Mr. President.
I don't care what Donald Trump is saying.
People are not dying because of it.
Donald Trump is just uttering words.
I am just uttering words.
And you want to make those words, you want people to believe those words are more dangerous than the bullets fired by the shooter in this case.
It's offensive.
Sit here and try to suggest that these words are what's inspiring these people to pick up arms and shoot us.
It's not.
This is a this is why Obama can't admit why he will not use the term Islamist extremism or whatever.
Because he would have to abandon this notion that America is responsible for this.
He would have to abandon his entire strategy of dealing with these people.
And his strategy of dealing with them is there's nothing special about them.
Just a bunch of ragtag bad guys with guns like any other group of gangsters.
That's how he wants us to see them, how he sees them, how everybody else should see them.
He doesn't want it known.
Hence sounds defensive.
Now, there's a story.
I don't know how many of you people seen this.
And I don't know how many of you were going to make connection here.
But it's it's part of this notion that everybody's the investigators are struggling to find a motive.
We can't find why would why would Mateen do what he did?
It baffles us.
Well, there's a name you should know, Marcus Robertson.
This is uh from San Antonio.
Story sourced in San Antonio.
In the first hours after the terrorist massacre in Orlando.
We kept hearing that Omar Mateen, Omar Sadicky Mateen had no criminal record, but he didn't need one, you see.
Because he knew Marcus Robertson.
You know who Marcus Robertson is.
I'll lay you a dollar to a donut, and none of you know who Marcus Robertson is.
Marcus Robertson is a former bodyguard to the blind Sheikh.
Omar Abdel Rahman, who was the architect of the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center.
Marcus Robertson, former bodyguard to the famous blind Sheikh, is a suspect in more than one attack on police.
He is a robber of banks to fund his activities.
And one of his activities is an online ministry.
The Fundamental Islamic Knowledge Seminary.
It operates out of Orlando.
Omar Sadiki Mateen was a follower of the Fundamental Islamic Knowledge Seminary and Marcus Robertson.
It's not a coincidence that this happened in Orlando, a law enforcement source told Fox News.
Marcus Robertson, also known as Abu Tabah.
He preaches against homosexuality.
He's been captured on wiretaps, urging and inciting his disciples to file false tax returns, identity theft, using the money to travel overseas for terror training in Central Asia and Northern Africa.
Didn't need a criminal record.
He just needed a mentor.
Seems like he had one.
Back in a second.
You ever notice that one looney tunes radical Islamist shooting up a gay nightclub?
No way.
No way does that have anything to do with Islam.
No way.
You cannot make that connection.
You can say it's a lone wolf.
He's uh whatever.
But any time a non-Muslim shoots up a movie theater.
Do they not attempt to impugn all Christians, all conservatives, all Republicans as being represented by that guy?
But when a militant Islamist comes along, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
This has nothing to do with Islam.
Nothing to do whatsoever.
No, no, no, no, no.
We cannot make that connection.
Some wacko shoots up a movie theater in Colorado, and they try to link him to the Tea Party.
And any other Republican group they can find.
Here's a Steve and Frederick, Maryland as we head back to the phones.
I'm glad you waited, Steve.
Hello.
Well, thanks, Rush.
I appreciate you taking my Paul's long-time listener, first-time caller.
Your comment about uh Barack sounding like a defense lawyer is right on, and I don't know if you picked up on the theme.
I I had to listen to a little bit of his speech uh this afternoon, but he he referred to this young man as being exposed to the propaganda and evil content of the internet.
He made no mention of shutting the internet down or making the internet illegal to stop that type of activity, But he's real quick to points to guns.
So, you know, again, he he sounded very defensive, and I think it's a recent theme.
I believe he said something similar yesterday as well in another speech, and he talked about the internet.
Oh, yeah.
You said the guy was radicalized by the internet.
Right.
And again, he sounds like a defense lawyer because now it's the internet's fault that the young man was exposed to the evil content of the internet.
Well, it's a crock.
Let me tell you something.
They're already, I mean, the level of insanity on the sewers of the internet is already filled.
There would be assassinations every day if those people took up arms and started shooting people simply because of what they see on the internet.
It's a bogus excuse.
It's a bogus explanation.
Um just it's just as bogus as it's the fault of guns.
Well, and if you check, uh, you know, it's really interesting.
He he is so anti-gun yet every time he brings this up.
Check out uh uh Strombrugger or uh Smith and West in stock today.
Oh, yeah.
Or the retail sales, I know.
I know.
They skyrocket.
They uh they uh they go through the roof.
Well, Steve, I'm I'm um I'm glad you called.
I am I'm really flattered and honored to have some concurrence in my take on this that Obama does it just sounds defensive about this.
It really sounds defensive when things like this, especially this uh this guy, Omar Mateen Sadigi, whatever, sounds defensive about this.
It's the guns, it was the internet.
The guy was this an innocent flower living his life as an American citizen.
And then the internet and the NRA came along, and the rest is history.
What a crock.
Great to have you with us, my friends, Rush Limbaugh with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
This idea that says radical Islam anyway is we need to ask ourselves, how many nations I think I read, I was just looking uh for the reference I have during the break and I didn't find it, so I'm relying here on my on my memory.
I think I have something here in the in the stack, and if this number's not right, it's close, that there are eleven Muslim nations where the penalty for homosexuality is death.
I can name three, Saudi Arabia, and they publicly execute homosexual Iran is another.
Kuwait is another, cutter is another.
I don't know about Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
They are they're trying to do different things there.
But there are it's standard, it is statutory law.
It's not extremist, it's what is you know, it's it's almost I I I've I've curious been curious about the feminizes who don't seem to consider militant Islam a threat whatsoever, but we are.
We Republicans, we conservatives, but in Islam, women are barely three-fifths of a human being.
Women can't do anything without their husbands' if a woman drives a car without her husband's permission, she can be severely punished in public.
And you don't even want to think about an affair.
If that is uncovered, I mean that's that's that's death.
And yet it is never referenced, it's never meant.
And I'm telling you again, this is why Obama does not identify who we're fighting.
It would totally, it would totally upset, it would blow up the entire Democrat progressive strategy of defeating us.
To properly to correctly identify what we're up against.
Obama's running around there saying, I don't know, hell, calling them whatever we want to call them is going to change the way they fight.
It's not about us, not about them.
Here's another thing.
This is uh I've got to blow this up.
I've been hearing about this since Abu Grab, since those pictures from Abu Ghrab, the prison in Iraq?
And in Club Gitmo, we have been told, we've been lectured over and over again that innocent Muslims minding their own business hear what is said.
They see the pictures from Abu Ghrab.
They learn of the existence of the prison at Guantanamo Bay, and that alone turns them into terrorists.
And meaning that they're sitting around minding their own business, happy as clams, and then they hear what we are saying, and they go nuts.
Let me ask you something.
Do you care?
Do any of us care what they happen to be saying about them?
It doesn't, it has nothing to do with what we think of them.
Who they are, what they profess.
But my point is that only the Democrats, only a bunch of progressives could actually try to make people think that average ordinary normal people can become mass murderers because of things that are said about them.
It just doesn't work that way.
And I will guarantee you this.
The head honchos of Islam take your favorite Imam, take your favorite Mullah, take your favorite terrorist leader.
They don't give a rat's rear end what we say about them.
They don't need it.
They already despise us because we are infidels.
It doesn't matter to them.
Their feelings don't get hurt.
Their anger does not get enhanced because it's irrelevant.
And yet that's what Obama and the Democrat Party want everybody to believe is that we're responsible for all this because of the way we talk about them and the way we treat them, and we put them in prisons and we it's just absurd.
But it's strategic.
Because it is obvious, and Obama made it abundantly clear today, that identifying this enemy, honestly, he's not going to do.
That's what that whole little two-minute bit was about.
Making fun of somebody who calls on militarism, I'm not going to do that.
Why would I do that?
It's pointless.
It makes no sense.
It wouldn't help us strategically in any way.
He had to lay down the marker because he's not going to change his strategy.
Couldn't afford to, cannot afford to.
Did you see this?
I don't know what you've seen, what you haven't seen in my absence.
When was this?
Well, it's just yesterday.
May not have seen it.
It's from Breitbart News.
Black planned parenthood activists blame Orlando terror attack on toxic masculinity.
Did Stein discuss this yesterday?
Right.
Planned Parenthood Black Community blaming toxic masculinity for the horrific shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando.
The black community of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, which says it works to protect and advance the sexual and reproductive rights of African Americans, tweeted about the uh tweeted that the Orlando massacre committed by Omar Martin was caused by toxic masculinity and a global culture of imperialist homophobia.
Yeah, you know what?
It was the masculine police who finally killed the shooter.
It was the masculine police who finally got people still alive out of that club after the masculine police stormed it.
The masculine police thought that the shooter had a bomb in there, but they still went in anyway.
The toxic masculinity group saved the day.
Was this club in a gun-free zone in Orlando?
I don't know.
I'm just asking because how many people were in this club?
Obviously, none of them were armed.
If somebody had been armed in there, this would have been a lot less of an incident than it was.
See how that works, too.
Here's uh here's Ken, Lavonia, Michigan.
We head back to the phones.
Thank you for waving, sir.
Great to have you here.
Thanks for taking my car, Rush.
Yeah, Rush, I had to call in because uh I'm very concerned that our elected officials refuse to correctly identify who our threat is, who our enemy is.
Now, I've read the Quran from cover to cover.
I've examined very thoroughly the teachings of Muhammad.
I've examined the history of Muhammad from uh uh his day until today.
And Rush, it's the truth to say this.
When we examine the behavior of ISIS, uh Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Qaeda, the Taraban, even the governments of Saudi Arabia, Iran, and many others.
These people are in harmony with Muhammad.
These people are doing exactly what Muhammad did.
These people are doing exactly what the Quran teaches.
So these people are not uh radicals, Rush.
We have to use the correct terminology.
These people are devout, these people are faithful, these people are true followers of Muhammad.
If Muhammad was alive today, he would be very happy with these people.
And so Rush, it is a lie to say Islam is religion of peace, because for 1400 years, Rush, there has been no shred of evidence to show that they are what they claim.
I'm gonna tell my story again.
I'm apologize in advance for those of you who have heard this.
It is redundant, but I need to back up what Ken here is saying, because I some of you uh might think, who is this guy?
Anybody call a talk show, claim they read the Koran, limbos when this guy got away with blaspheming a great religion.
So let me back it up here.
You all by now know of uh our good friend Andrew McCarthy.
You've seen him probably on Fox a lot.
He writes at National Review and a lot of other places, but he used to be a prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of Manhattan.
He was, he and a partner were the lead prosecutors in the trial of the blind sheikh.
Omar Abdel Rahman, who was the mastermind of the first World Trade Center attack in 1993.
Short story, stick with me.
McCarthy, as part of his trial prep, decided to read the Quran.
It was his impression that Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind sheikh, who was advocating blowing up the Lincoln Tunnel and any number of other uh strategic sites in New York City, World Trade Center, had to be a nut.
He had to be loony.
He had to be an absolute wacko.
So he set out to find out how this guy differed from the Quran.
He was looking for any advantage he could in the trial.
Wanted to get a conviction, wanted to put the guy away, which he did.
And he's written about this in a couple of books in a number of columns.
He he finished the Quran and he was chilled.
Because he found out that Omar Abdel Rahman was not a kook.
He was not out of the mainstream of Islam.
He was the mainstream.
It was a it was a brutal realization and awakening.
It was like everybody else.
You figure people that blow up buildings and want to murder mass numbers of people and that's just not.
No matter where you go in the world, that's not normal.
That has to be aberrational.
That has to be extreme.
It has to be way, way out of the major McCarthy found that it's not.
And he's been telling people about this, writing about this, mentioning this.
He's got a much better version of the story.
I'm time constrained here, but he's told this story since 1995.
How many years is that?
And still it's considered a bastardized interpretation.
The telling of the story is still necessary.
And if you tell it the wrong place at the wrong time, here comes care.
Following you as close as they can get to you.
Anyway, I've taken a break.
But I'm glad you call Ken.
Thanks much.
We'll be back after this.
Don't go away.
Fox News has apparently confirmed that the gunman's wife or ex-wife knew the guy planned to hit the uh the nightclub and didn't do anything about it.
Fox News confirms that the wife of Orlando massacre gunman Omar Mateen.
Why do they leave out Siddiqui?
Siddiqui's my favorite name of the three.
Sidicki.
I could say Siddiqui.
They never put it in the story.
Oh, this is Omar Mateen.
I'm going to throw the Siddiqui in there.
Wife of the Orlando Massacre Gunman Omar Sidicki Mart Mateen knew of his plans to kill patrons in the Plus Nightclub and did nothing about it.
By the way, there are ten countries where homosexuality is punished by death.
They are Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Mauritania, Nigeria, Qatar, or Qatar, Saudi Arabia, not Saudi.
It's not Saudi, it's not the House of Saud.
It's the House of Saud.
It's Saudi or it bugs me to hear people say Saudi Arabia.
It's Saudi.
And it's it's not even it's named after a guy named Saud.
He's so egotistically named the whole country after himself.
Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates, which would include Dubai, and the ports of Dubai, and uh Abu Dhabi.
So there's ten of them.
The Emirates, they kind of guess one country, but there's three there.
I've been there.
Do you know in in uh Dubai, shortly after I left, I it was a way station on my way into uh Afghanistan for a troop visit, shortly after I left, there was a British couple that were put in jail, just kissing, just kissing on the beach.
Kissing on the beach, they were put in jail in front of one in front of their hotel, put in jail for a year until the British diplomatic corps had got them out.
Just kissing.
PDA, public display of affection.
What and you wait, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
I knew there was some.
Did you see this, the Daily Caller?
London's Muslim mayor bans sexy women in advertisements.
I guarantee now let me tell you the nags are gonna love this.
This is exactly what they've been aiming for since the late 60s.
Sadig Khan, London's first Muslim mayor, announced yesterday that body shaming advertisements will no longer be allowed in London's public transport.
Remember now, this just the beginning.
These people never solve problems with this stuff.
They just create new ways to deny liberty and freedom.
He said, as the father of two teenage girls, I'm extremely concerned about this kind of advertising, which can demean people, particularly women, and make them ashamed of their bodies.
It's high time it came to an end.
The mayor added that nobody should feel pressurized while they travel on the tube or the bus into unrealistic expectations surrounding their bodies.
And I want to send a clear message to the advertising industry about this.
Advertisements recently, advertisements featuring bikini clad models in the British city of Birmingham were spray painted over.
Birmingham has a high Muslim population.
Now, Can you imagine this happening in New York City?
No, no.
I want you to imagine that this is all happening in.
I want you to imagine that the new mayor of New York, whenever, is a Muslim, and he has decided that not only are all the billboards and all the buscards and all the taxics and all the stuff in the subways too provocative because of the way women are portrayed, he's gonna ban it.
No more beautiful women, no more scantily clad, you gotta be average frumpy or whatever, or you don't get to appear.
And then says, you know what, we're gonna move on to the magazines.
I mean, if it's body shaming, if we gotta protect people from feeling embarrassed about themselves, we gotta go to what and then we're gonna we're gonna no movie filmed in New York will be permitted.
It's going to happen at some point if it's happening in London.
Mayoral decree just happening.
By the way, the ex-wife, Omar Mateen Sidicki, claims the FBI told her not to tell anybody her husband was gay.
Why would the FBI do that?
