Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 247 Podcast.
It is the last three hours for me live this year.
And so, my friends, we want to try to make the most of it.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open live Friday.
Whatever you want to talk about.
And really, that's the case.
Monday through Thursday, pardon me when I explain this in New Mysteries.
Monday through Thursday, we take calls and put them on the air based on whether they want to talk about something I care about.
Because if I if I don't care about it, I sound bored or uninterested.
That's just not good.
But on Friday, this is where the risk comes in.
We let anybody talk about whatever, whether I care about it or not.
It's a it's a little outreach from me, a benevolent dictator host of the program, because it's possible, highly unlikely, but it's highly possible that people really want to talk about other things.
But I cover so much it's hard to imagine somebody would want to talk about something we haven't brought up here.
But if that's the case, here's the number 800 282-2882 and the email address, ill rushboat at EIBNet.us.
You know, folks, I've always said that I wanted to get older.
I have always been of the opinion that no matter how old I was, that people older than than I was had more freedom, had more success, were thus enjoying life more.
And it's true.
I mean, it was it it's it's there are other benefits to it now, though.
One of the real benefits, and this is something that you think is not going to matter when you're younger, because you think you know everything, and whatever you learn from there on out is just going to buttress what you already know.
However, there is nothing aside from aging, living more, getting older that can substitute for experience.
And so I am able to bring to you a unique perspective not found in most media, certainly not the drive-by media, anywhere where the practitioners of the art are under 35, maybe 40.
And what I'm talking about is the new onset panic over what appears to be a desired nuclear arms race by Donald Trump.
I am watching the history of the 80s begin to repeat itself.
It is, for those of you that were not old enough in the 80s, when Reagan was president, or for those of you not yet born, do not doubt me.
What is happening here as the result of one Trump comment on nuclear nuclear arms race involving Putin and Sean Spicer.
It is identical, the left is to the way they were panicked and and afraid and and just basically unhinged back in the 1980s.
In the 1980s, the threat, according to the left, was Reagan.
Reagan was a Dunce, an idiot, a cowboy, and he cracked jokes about bombing the Soviet Union, and he hated communism, and he thought that it ought to be done away with.
And so the learned people in our country and in the UK and what then became the European Union all believe that the savior, the salvation, the lone hope to uh avoid a nuclear holocaust was whoever was running the Soviet Union.
And of course, those guys kept dying.
And that led to the ascension to the Kremlin throne of Mikhail Gorbachev, and he literally became Christ-like to the left in terms of his loan ability to make sure that Reagan didn't blow up the world.
We had Hollywood celebrity children that would go on the then Phil Donahue show and literally break down in hysterical tears, telling everybody that they had no idea what it was like to grow up with The threat of nuclear Holocaust hanging over them every day.
I remember one such program featuring Laura Dern and Phil Donahue trying to comfort her, but the tears required 15 boxes of Kleenex.
And it's all starting to repeat here.
It's amazing.
And this is the benefit of my having worked in that period of time in this business and have lived through it.
And thus am able to provide for you context and understanding and once again what we do best here, and that is dissect and break down the left, deconstruct liberalism and explain to you what's going on.
It is the big news of the day.
And we have to lift our ban on whatever happens at PMSNBC, because that's really where some of this began.
Sean Spicer is the new White House press secretary.
So he was out there today.
He was on the MSNBC with uh with Joe Scarborough and Mika Bzzinski, whose father, by the way, was Ziebig.
Zbigniev Bzzinski.
He was a national security advisor for Jimmy Carter during Carter's presidency.
Mikha Bzhinski's dad is the first person Jimmy Carter spoke to every day of his presidency.
Got the Daily Brief, but Z Big was in there whenever Carter got to the Oval Office, Z Big was there waiting.
He was the primo advisor on all of the international stuff, the foreign policy, and uh itinerant nuclear uh issues and so forth.
And what happened was that Spicer was talking about what Trump meant with his tweet about an arms race.
They went to a commercial break, and Trump called Spicer and said, put me on the phone.
So Spicer put Mika on the phone during a commercial break at MSNBC, and that's when Trump said, let there be an arms race.
And she about lost it.
She came back from the break, panicked, and now the rest of the media today is in meltdown.
Because this is not how presidents are not supposed to call one person in a commercial break and talk to them.
This isn't how it's done.
And so the media all morning since this happened has been having roundtable discussions on how Spicer doesn't know what he's doing and Trump doesn't know what he's doing.
He was watching Judith Miller on Fox.
Well, you know, we have a constitutional role, and I don't care what he thinks, he just can't erase us.
He can't wave us out.
So he better know we're gonna be here.
He's gonna be there, but he better know we're gonna be here.
I just can't wait for this.
Because they can't compete with this.
They can't compete.
There's folks, you know, they are ticked off that Trump in a 140-character tweet can literally overwhelm and erase whatever they're doing in 750 to a thousand words.
Or however many they vomit on uh on TV.
But we've got news besides that.
We have Joe Biden.
It is amazing now that the Democrats have lost.
Oh, by the way, Putin not making any, he's out there saying that Democrats were gonna lose, and he knew the Democrats are gonna lose, and that they deserve to lose, and Putin's out there saying that they're sword losers.
That's even got him even more ticked.
That Putin happens to like Trump.
Oh, that's got him scared to death.
You want to see Nate Silver.
Nate Silver has the 538, the polster guru.
He's got a chart.
Let me see.
I just had to scan this, so you have to tell me if I get this right.
He's got a chart of the only people that was surviving nuclear blast.
What there was one red state to survive a nuclear.
I mean, why not?
I mean, this is hysteria.
Oops.
It's impossible to have everything within arm's reach here.
Okay.
Headline this uh Nate Silver's post-nuclear holocaust election map goes viral.
This is too much fun.
You know, I've been through it.
That's what I was trying to tell you.
I've been through all of this.
Every liberal crack up there has been.
That liberal crack up on jet blue yesterday with Ivanka Trump.
It's a liberal crack up.
Can you imagine if somebody had done that to Chelsea Clinton, even if Chelsea Clinton had deigned to fly coach and have been on there with Mark Mizvinsky?
You imagine somebody getting on jet blue and making a scene out of the fact that Chelsea would you imagine what the media would be doing with that?
Oh, I shuddered.
Or if one of the Obama girls had been on the plane and somebody.
What are they doing here?
I refuse to get on this airplane.
Why don't they get off?
Why are they can you imagine what the media would do with that?
Nate Silver's post-nuclear Holocaust electoral map.
Nate Silver.
See, you know the liberals to whom silver is godlike.
They're reading this, they're posting it, they're passing it around.
They're now Drudge even has a story where it's liberals who are stocking up on canned goods and non-perishable items because they think we're gonna die next week before climate change gets us.
Now nuclear warfare is gonna get us.
They are they are inconsolable.
They thought they had at least 30 years until climate change wiped us out.
Now it could be to more Trump wants a new nuclear arms.
Don't worry, folks.
I'm gonna put all this in perspective, and I'm gonna explain to you how Trump has beaten Putin here in this.
Putin's already backing down from this.
I can't, I'll get to that in just a minute, but this is just too much fun.
There are actually two states, Mr. Stirley.
Uh, two states, an electoral map.
If only people who weren't burnt to a crisp in the nuclear holocaust voted.
That is the title of the chart.
Here's what the I'm sorry.
I'm so glad I didn't take this week off.
I am so I can't tell you.
Here's what the electoral map would look like if only people who were not burnt to a crisp in a nuclear holocaust voted, and the two states are red states.
They are Alaska and Wyoming.
The only place voters would survive.
A Trump nuclear war with Putin.
Phil Donahue may come out of retirement for this.
Vladimir Posner may come back from the Soviet Union and guest host with him.
There were a lot of people that got rich and really famous during the first nuclear arms race.
And they might be tempted to come back and do it all again.
Anyway, what I was going to say is the Democrats now are admitting privately amongst themselves.
They are admitting that they lost, and Biden.
Biden is out with a couple of doses of honesty that are going to be really challenging for his buds in the Democrat Party.
Joe Biden, in one story here, says that he doesn't think Hillary knew why she was running for president.
Vice President Biden believes Hillary Clinton lost, in part because she never figured out why she was running.
This is an interview in the Los Angeles Times.
It was published yesterday.
Biden said, I don't think she ever really figured it out.
And by the way, I think it was really hard for her to decide to run.
As evidence, wait, if you're confused by this, just hang in.
I'm gonna close the loop here and make it all make sense for you.
Um there's nobody better at translating these people than than I am, so just be tiff.
Be patient.
As evidence, uh Vice President uh pointed to a similar concerns raised privately by Clinton allies in hacked emails published by WikiLeaks.
So Biden says if you go to the WikiLeaks pedestal emails, you'll find it's clear as a bell in there that Hillary didn't really know why she was running.
But he said it was unfair to only blame her for her loss.
He said that Hillary saw a noble purpose in her campaign, feeling an obligation to help pave the way for women in politics, just as Barack Hussein, oh, had done for black people.
You know what?
May I make a brief departure and observation here?
I hate to say it, but I I don't think Obama has advanced that cause, to tell you the truth.
It's a shame, too.
I don't think that uh just don't think Obama has advanced.
And Hillary was not running to be the first female.
I mean, that was the trophy aspect.
That's not why she wanted to do this.
And she did want to do this.
She wanted it so bad she could taste it.
She knew exactly why she was running.
She just couldn't tell anybody.
Because it has nothing to do with helping other people.
It has nothing to do with making the country better.
There were two reasons she ran, her ego and her sense of entitlement that it was owed to her.
And the second thing is look at all the money that she had raised from all of these foreign governments and foreign donors.
She had an obligation to pay that money back policy considerations if she was president.
She knew exactly why she was running.
Now they're trying to take the pressure off her here.
That's what Biden's trying to do.
Well, you know, she really never knew why.
It was just expected of her.
You know, she was Bill's wife, and she'd been first lady all those years.
She'd been senator.
And it was uh it was she was looked to to break the glass ceiling.
She had so much pressure.
But it was all other people's reasons for her to do it, not her own, is what Biden is saying.
And that's just total BS.
She wanted this so bad she could taste it.
She wanted it so bad in 2008 she could taste it.
She wanted it so bad in 2008 it was denied.
She wanted it even more in 2016.
She could taste it.
She wanted it so bad she could smell it.
She wanted it so bad she was doing anything she could.
She was paying people to disrupt Trump rallies.
She was even her campaign, it's in the political now.
Her campaign was intimately aware of the effort to screw with the Electoral College.
It's right there in the politico today.
Politico says they didn't start it, but once it got going, they kept track of it and they offered advice.
Here and there, the burden on Hillary says there was a lack of ability to understand why she wasn't reaping the fruit of what she felt she'd been entitled to for decades.
That's what I think.
I don't think this.
She felt entitled.
She felt owed.
She felt it was hers that she had earned it by virtue of her loyalty to her husband and the party.
And she wanted it for the power, and she wanted it for her ideological good.
This idea that she didn't know why she was running that.
Don't fall for this, folks.
They're trying to offer excuses what they're trying to say with that.
What Biden's trying to say, well, you know, she didn't really have the passion.
If she really had the passion to do it, a whole different campaign.
He's trying to explain why she didn't go to Wisconsin, why she didn't go to any blue wall states.
Well, you know, she didn't really ever figure out why.
And but Biden wasn't through.
After he talked about that, then he ripped into the Democrat Party's elitism and started faulting them for failing to reach out to the worker class.
Anyway, uh Hillary Clinton is not the leader of a movement right now.
That's the one thing most presidential candidates, failed ones even, for a time, inherit that mantle of leader of the opposition, but it isn't her.
She's not the leader of any movement.
The Obama team's making that clear.
And that's what Biden's being sent out here to do.
Biden is on the Obama team, and he's going out there and he's trashing her.
That's what he's doing.
He's clearing the decks so that Obama is known and understood to be by everybody the real leader of the resistance.
The resistance, the dissidents.
And now they've got a nuclear arms race, folks.
I just can't wait to get into the rest of this.
By the way, folks, let me make an observation to you.
Has the media once, have they once been concerned about a nuclear arms waste race with Iran?
They've not, have they?
I mean, the president of the United States has actually negotiated a deal that permits The state sponsor of terrorism, largest state sponsor of terrorism, acknowledged by everybody in the world, Iran, to ramp up and get nuclear weapons.
Is the media?
Is the Democrat Party anybody worried about that nuclear arms?
No way, because Obama's involved.
And we don't dare criticize Obama because Obama's smarter than all the rest of us.
What Trump is doing is shutting down the expansion of nuclear weapons that Putin is engaging in because of Obama.
Obama has unilaterally chosen to disarm or reduce our nuclear arsenal without getting appropriate concessions from Putin or anybody else while ramping up the Iranian nuclear program.
And Trump, I'll explain this to you, but the upshot of this is that Putin has blinked in response to what Trump said about let's have an arms race because Putin knows they lost the last one.
They can't keep up with us.
It's open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh, the day before Christmas Eve here on the EIB Network, 800-282-2882.
By the way, one of the reasons the media is so amped up today is what Sean Spicer said was on Fox News last night, actually, with he was on the Megan Kelly show without Megan Kelly.
It was being hosted by Sandra Smith.
And what Sean Spicer last night said that Trump is going to hold the media accountable and he's going to correct the record.
Well, folks, that you just don't say that to the media.
It's the media that's going to hold Trump accountable.
It's the media that is going to speak truth to power.
It is the media that's going to determine who gets good coverage and bad.
And here comes Spicer, the new White House press secretary, and he says that Trump is going to hold the media accountable, and he's going to correct the record.
So they are like everybody else on the left.
They really don't know what's coming their way.
They're starting to get an idea of it.
They don't like it.
They still think they're dealing with an idiot.
They still think they're dealing with a boob.
They think they're dealing with a dimwit that doesn't know what he's doing, and they're eventually going to be able to outsmart him, and he is outsmarting them.
I can't count how many times a day.
He's running rings around them.
And they haven't figured it out yet.
And they don't know anything other than the current model that they've used and lived in for their entire lives.
They know the inside the beltway model.
They know the establishment model.
They know how the rules of the game are set up.
Elected officials defer to the media and do everything they can to make the media happy.
They grant access.
If the media rips them a new one, they just deal with it and move on, and they try to be nicer to the media, change them in.
And none of that applies.
But they think that's how the game is still played.
That's how the game should be played, and Trump had better.
He had better play that.
We're going to destroy the guy.
They're not saying that publicly, but this is what they're planning.
What they haven't recalled is that they've been trying to destroy Donald Trump for over a year and a half.
And they have not been able to do it.
Just they just they have no idea how to separate Trump's base supporters from him.
They have no idea how to do it.
What they have forgotten is that they had nothing to do with making Trump popular.
So they can't destroy him.
The media can only break you if they make you.
And the media has not made Donald Trump.
It's quite the opposite.
Now, on this nuclear business, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you the overall here, and then we're gonna double back and get into the detail of it.
Trump, Putin, and fake news.
Essentially, uh what happened here?
The New York Times, after being all excited, because thinking they were making inroads, Trump doing stupid things like the carrier deal is stupid, we shouldn't make too big a deal out of that, and the Air Force One deal is stupid.
There's locky deal, scrapping the F 35.
Trump doesn't know what he's doing.
By the way, have you heard?
I didn't, I didn't mention this yesterday.
This this Boeing cave in on Air Force One.
Do you realize what the CEO said?
They're gonna make two of them now for under $4 billion.
The original order was for one Air Force One at $4 billion.
And after Trump got engaged on this and challenged the way Washington does things, the pay line, if you will, in Washington.
So Congress appropriates money after lobbyists are involved and after defense contractors are involved.
And so the cost of overall projects just escalates and escalates and escalates so that everybody who has had anything to do with somebody getting elected or staying elected gets a piece of the pie.
And this is how donors and lobbyists and others are paid back, is with your tax dollars.
Well, Trump is saying the heck with that.
I don't want lobbyists.
Lobbyists are not going to be part of what my administration does.
We're not going to do business the way we've always done it.
And so now we're going to get two brand new Boeing 747-800s outfitted to be Air Force One for under $4 billion.
Two of them.
Well, you might call it buy one get one free, but it's a far cry from the original deal was one of them for $4 billion.
And counting.
And all it took, all it took was some pushback.
That's all it took.
Doing what everybody else says.
Well, we can't we can't do it that way.
I mean, this is the way we do it.
This is the budget process.
This is the appropriation process.
This is how you can't do it that way.
And now it's being demonstrated that of course it can be done a different way and much more sensibly.
So the the uh the New York Times, Vladimir Putin, unsurprised by Trump's remarks, says Russia wants no nuclear arms race.
Vladimir Putin of Russia said on Friday today that a statement by Donald Trump that American, the American president-elect that the United States should expand its nuclear capabilities, was not a surprise because he had said the same thing during the election campaign.
Let's go to the audio soundbites and put this in perspective.
But the bottom, I gave you actually the end of this story first, and that is Putin backing down.
Putin is back.
You have to remember that in context here, Obama has been, and you may not know this because the media has not really reported this, but Obama has been steadily decreasing our nuclear arsenal.
Now, one time it was reported, but he has been unilaterally.
He hasn't been requiring any other nuclear state to downsize theirs.
In fact, that open mic incident following or just right before the 2012 presidential election, where Obama was caught talking to Dmitry Medvedev with the open mic, and where he said, look, tell Vlad I'll have a lot more flexibility on this after I win re-election.
I'll have more flexibility after the election.
Putin was pressuring Obama to make good on his promises to reduce our nuclear stock.
And Obama said, you tell him, be patient, I'll have more flexibility after I lose.
Russia was not getting rid of theirs.
We were downsizing under the premise that our nuclear arsenal is what destabilizes the world because in Obama and the left's view, it's the United States, which threatens all these other nations because we're so big, and because we're a superpower, because we threaten them, the world is a different place.
He's going to downsize and make us less of a threat and uh and all that.
And so Trump has come in after Putin made some comments about and Trump, well, let's have a nuclear arms race then.
Let's have one.
And the left in this country is just having a cow.
But Putin, according to the New York Times, Vladimir Putin, unsurprised by Trump's remarks, says Russia wants no nuclear arms race.
They lost the last one.
They lost the nuclear arms race in the 80s.
The last nuclear arms race is why the Berlin Wall fell.
The last nuclear arms race is why the Soviet Union imploded.
Communism sadly didn't.
It was taken over by the militant environmentalist movement.
But the Soviet Union as a communist citadel imploded.
And it was the nuclear arms race that did it because they couldn't keep up.
And for those of you who weren't around, when Reagan in 1981 introduced the concept of a missile shield, which the media dubbed Star Wars, when Reagan introduced that is when the Soviets began to panic because they knew two things.
They knew that we could do it.
Because we Americans, the United States, can do anything we set our mind to.
If we want a missile shield to take out nuclear weapons launched at us before they hit us, we can do it.
And Gorbachev, who was running a Soviet Union, Yuri and Robert, they knew the Russians because the Russians are a third world nation with a first world military and nuclear arsenal.
And that's the only thing it made of world players.
But I mean, they couldn't feed their people.
The department stores were empty, the big grocery stores were empty.
Everything went to the military in the old Soviet Union.
They were imploding.
And they couldn't keep up.
And that exposed it.
It was Reagan and Star Wars.
It was the last nuclear arms race that exposed the Soviet Union as a paper tiger.
They lost that one.
Trump ramping up a new one.
Putin knows they would lose another one.
Nobody can compete with us, particularly when we're led by a can-do anything kind of president, rather than the president we've got now, who thinks that whatever we do poses a problem in the world.
And that's all this is.
But the left, it's knee-jerk.
They hear nuclear first stages of panic.
And they start thinking they're going to be burnt to a crisp.
And you get Nate Sylvan Silver writing stories about one state left after a nuclear holocaust.
There'll only be two states with red state voters, and that would be Wyoming.
I mean, silly stuff.
Then they start pondering the actual nuclear detonation of what would cause it.
And of course it's going to be our fault.
It'll be Trump's fault.
And then they panic and they literally lose sanity, become unhinged, starting to see signs of it on this.
Meanwhile, while Obama is helping an actual terrorist state get nuclear weapons.
There's no panic and there's no fear of any kind of an arms race where the Iranians are involved.
Why?
Because the media is dumb.
They think with Obama involved, everything's going to be fine.
Everybody loves us.
The nukes respect Obama.
The Iranians respect Obama.
And so even if they get nukes, because there's so much respect for Obama, they would never launch an attack.
It's stupid.
So the imaginary nuclear arms race, which is not going to happen, is the key.
It's like, why do you build the B-2 stealth bombers so that you never have to use it?
Why do you build all these advanced weapons so you never have to use them?
The left cannot understand that thinking.
It's called deterrence.
You build up a military that makes it obvious to any would-be attacker that they can't survive the attack.
That's always been our defense posture when we're led by responsible, reasonable people.
When we're led by people who think we're the problem in the world, we don't get that kind of attitude.
We get very defensive attitude, and we think what Obama thinks is the way to reduce the threat is to let everybody have nukes.
That would make it fair, and that would reduce the tensions that we cause by being a superpower.
It's dumb.
So there's a soundbite uh trail on all of this, including the hilarious events that happened on MSNBC this morning, and they are coming right up.
Don't go away.
Want to grab a phone call here.
It's open line Friday.
Always try to get started on the phones in the first hour.
We're going to go to Allen Park, Michigan.
This is Patricia, and I'm glad you called.
How are you?
Hi, Russ.
I'm fine, thank you.
And Rush, you are America's sane space.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas.
Same space.
I like that.
Yeah, the only three hours were things appear to be normal consistently.
In my life as well, so thank you.
You welcome.
Um Russia, uh, I know that you knew uh William F. Buckley Jr. and his works.
And um, after recently having watched a documentary of the 1968 debates between Buckley and Gorvidell uh during the presidential nominating conventions, I was curious about your thoughts as to why years after the debate, Buckley, at least according to the documentary, was so upset and consumed by his remarks toward Bidell.
Well, first place, where do you get that he was upset and consumed by his remarks toward Gore Vidal?
Well, that was according to the documentary.
And at the time, after and this was about a couple weeks ago, and we saw it on a PBS uh program.
Um and I just thought, you know, was that the media even back then making more of the dust up just because Buckley was a good idea.
Did you actually hear Buckley say it or did the narrator say it?
The narrator indicated that after Buckley had made his remark something about um, you know, stop calling me a crypto Nazi or I'll sock you in the GD face.
No, it's what wait way, it's worse than that.
I can't remember what it was a few weeks ago.
Well, he called him the F-word for homosexual.
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
He started off with that.
So Vidal called him a crypto Nazi, and Buckley said he would punch him in the face, you G D F or punch you in the G D face, you whatever.
And look, I have never heard there now may uh I I haven't spent a lot of time or didn't spend a lot of time talking to Mr. Buckley about this particular episode.
I never heard him express regret over anything that he had said or done.
Well they indicated that at least again, according to the documentary, that um he swore he'd never talk about it again.
He was so upset by what I guess his performance, if you will, uh, or you know what he No, no, no.
I look at I'm gonna summarily reject that based on my knowledge of him.
And and this is the first I've heard of it.
The only thing that I heard that's remotely close to this.
And by the way, you you've got to allow that that I might be uh incorrect about this, because I haven't spoken to him personally about this particular episode, but I have I've I'm very familiar with it.
And I'll be able to find this out uh in in a in a in short order, if anybody over there still still working today in this week.
But the if if there was any truth to the fact that he was that didn't want to talk about it, it's that he just tired of talking about it.
And I don't think uh somebody like Buckley may there may have been some regret that that Gore Vidal had goaded him into using language like that.
But uh the the desire not to talk about it, I think was more a desire to not be defined by it.
And look, look, what more is there to say about this?
There were many other aspects to his to his career.
The people that are doing documentaries like this would love to be able to portray that Gore Vidal was the superior correct being in this uh episode and that Buckley was the uh the ne'er do well, low rent uh whatever, and uh forever regretted it forever I think actually I'm I'm gonna maybe have some thin ice here, but my basic memory is that he wasn't embarrassed about this at all.
Oh, they made a big to-do of that he was, and uh and and like you say, Gorbidell looked like he smelled like a rose coming out of it.
Well, in this documentary?
In this documentary, yeah.
What are you doing watching a PBS documentary anyway, just because you're fascinated by Buckley?
Uh yes, uh uh that's the only reason why I watched it.
I happened to be flipping through and I saw the title of the uh but you know, but when I saw Buckley's name, I thought, oh, okay, I'm gonna listen to this, and that's why I watched it.
Usually I mean PBS is okay for some things, but you know, I'll find out.
Uh uh I I may not be able to find out today, but I I will find out because it's if it does it has it upset you.
