I had a story, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/02\/01\/rush-talks-with-vice-president-mike-pence\/\">I was talking to the vice president<\/a> yesterday on the program, and I told him that I had a list of stories, 30 fake news stories, 30 out-and-out lies in just the last five days, and that was yesterday. And, of course, we add more to them today. And it\u2019s always a bit of a fun challenge to determine where to start with the fake news on each and every day.<\/p>\n<p>How about the AP report that Trump threatened the president of Mexico? The AP reported that Trump called the president of Mexico and said, &#8220;Look, if you don\u2019t take care of those bad hombres down there that you\u2019ve got, we\u2019re gonna send in the American military to do it.&#8221; The AP claimed that Trump told the Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto that if he didn\u2019t take care of the bad hombres down there that we would send in the US military. The Washington Post and others in the Drive-Bys ran with the AP story.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219890\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/TrumpMex-border-c2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/TrumpMex-border-c2.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/TrumpMex-border-c2-300x141.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>Even the AP story, if you read deep enough down there, the article admitted that Mexico denied that version of events. It doesn\u2019t matter, it doesn\u2019t matter, \u2019cause the president of Mexico is not a credible source. He was on the call, but his sourcing is not credible if he doesn\u2019t go along with the primary narrative of the story. The narrative is that Trump got on the phone, bullied the president of Mexico and threatened to send troops to get rid of bad hombres. The head honcho Mexico said, &#8220;No, no, no, didn\u2019t happen,&#8221; but they say we can\u2019t count on this guy as a source.<\/p>\n<p>Even the foremost purveyor of fake news, CNN, and they are. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anybody even close to CNN in terms of fake news. Maybe BuzzFeed running a close second, but, man, they\u2019re all tightly bunched in there. But CNN clearly leading the pack in fake news. They even called the AP out on their report. Even CNN, the primary purveyors of fake news, questioned the AP report that Trump called the president of Mexico and said we\u2019re sending the troops in if you don\u2019t get rid bad hombres down there.<\/p>\n<p>CNN said that the readout of the call that they saw showed that Trump was offering aid, not making threats. He was offering to help the president of Mexico get rid of the bad hombres they\u2019ve got down there. That\u2019s a huge difference. You know how many people ran with the fake story? How many of people believe that Trump was on the phone with the president of Mexico today and threatened him, threatened to send troops? Many of you are probably going, &#8220;Right on!&#8221; and you\u2019re disappointed it isn\u2019t true. Right? Many of you are probably thinking, &#8220;That\u2019s right, we need to send the military down there and clean that place out.&#8221; And now you\u2019re finding out it isn\u2019t true and disappointed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/immigrationHappy-ISIS-2C.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/immigrationHappy-ISIS-2C.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/immigrationHappy-ISIS-2C-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>And then Australia. This is a big one. The first thing you have to understand, the current prime minister of Australia is practically a carbon copy clone of the new left-wing child socialist in Canada, what\u2019s his name, Trudeau? Justin Trudeau. Yeah, the guy in Australia is a little older than Justin Trudeau, but he\u2019s still a wacko leftist. And the Drive-By Media are having conniptions over Trump\u2019s phone call to the Australian prime minister. His name is Malcolm Turnbull.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in this call Trump supposedly denounced as dumb the deal that Obama had struck where the United States would trade some illegal aliens from Central America for the 1,200 refugees from Iran and Iraq and Afghanistan, refugees that Australia will not let into their country. What this is really all about is that there\u2019s central American refugees and Australia won\u2019t let \u2019em in.<\/p>\n<p>Australia won\u2019t let \u2019em in, they send them here, and Trump said to hell with that and even addressed this at the prayer breakfast today, telling people our country is under assault. There are people taking advantage of our country, and it\u2019s gonna stop. And he said, &#8220;I don\u2019t want you to be nervous what you hear about these calls.&#8221; And he\u2019s talking about these two news reports about the phone calls he had with these two leaders in Australia and Mexico. And he was calming, he was comforting.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Australia business. Australia has been under intense pressure from its citizens to not allow immigrants into their country. This is something that you\u2019ll not know if all you\u2019re reading today is the story about Trump\u2019s phone call to the Australian prime minister. But the citizens of Australia don\u2019t want any part of these worldwide refugees and illegal immigrants because they have been flooded with boat people, many of them coming from Muslim Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Australia\u2019s two leading political parties, the ruling Liberal-National coalition and the Labor opposition,&#8221; both of Australia\u2019s main parties, &#8220;both support tough asylum policies.&#8221; They have a coalition government there, and it &#8220;made Australia\u2019s asylum policy even tougher when it took power in 2013,&#8221; 3-1\/2 years ago, &#8220;introducing Operation Sovereign Borders, which put the military in control of asylum operations&#8221; in Australia. You think what\u2019s happening here is strange? In Australia, they dead serious.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t want any part of it. They don\u2019t want any of these boat people refugees from Islamic nations and Indonesia, they don\u2019t want Central American refugees, they don\u2019t want illegal immigration. They\u2019ve seen what\u2019s happened to Europe. They see what\u2019s happening the United States. They don\u2019t want any part of it. As such, there\u2019s an agreement. Obama had an agreement with Australia. &#8220;Okay, whoever you don\u2019t want, send it to the United States.&#8221; Did you know that, folks? Obama had an agreement with Australia.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/650-020217-Trump-Calls-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/650-020217-Trump-Calls-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/650-020217-Trump-Calls-1-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>&#8220;Fine, if you don\u2019t want the Muslims from Indonesia &#8212; if you don\u2019t want the boat people from Central America or wherever else they\u2019re from &#8212; then send them to the United States. We\u2019ll take some of them.&#8221; &#8220;The government&#8221; of Australia&#8230; I\u2019m nick of time here, but, &#8220;The government says its policies have restored the integrity of its borders&#8230;&#8221; Even if asylum seekers are found to be actual refugees, they\u2019re not allowed to be settled in Australia. They\u2019re sent to an offshore processing center. What Obama said is, &#8220;Go ahead and send them here!&#8221; And that\u2019s what Trump\u2019s objecting to. We\u2019re not just gonna keep our borders open. I mean, the rest of the nations of the world cannot dump their problems on us.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all he\u2019s saying, exactly what he said he would do during the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me give a slight correction on this Australia business. I want to get this battened down exactly what happened, here. It\u2019s very close, but it here\u2019s what really happened. Obama was trading people from Central America for 1500 or so Muslim refugees from Iran and Iraq and Afghanistan that were languishing in Australia, essentially in New Guinea.<\/p>\n<p>So Obama agreed to take the militant Islamist refugees off of Australia\u2019s hands in exchange for trading 1500 or so (well, I don\u2019t know what the number was, but) people from Central America. So Australia got to choose. They said, &#8220;We don\u2019t want militant Islamists here. I mean, we\u2019ll help you out on the refugee side, but we don\u2019t want any militant Islamists.&#8221; Obama said, &#8220;Fine. We will take the militant Islamists.&#8221; And that\u2019s why Trump is saying, &#8220;The rest of the world doesn\u2019t get to decide what it wants to do and then we pick up the pieces.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219894\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ISISGOPHeadinSandIslam-122115.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ISISGOPHeadinSandIslam-122115.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ISISGOPHeadinSandIslam-122115-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>This all raises the question, why would Australia be willing to take peaceful &#8212; so-called peaceful &#8212; Central American refugees but not those from Muslim countries? I mean, who are the real Islamophobes here? It isn\u2019t Trump! Trump is just doing what he said he was gonna do in the campaign, and that is defend and protect this country and make sure the other nations of the world do not take advantage of us. Anyway, McCain fell for the fake news side of this and called the Australian ambassador and said (impression), &#8220;It\u2019s not a big deal. I\u2019ll fix it. Don\u2019t worry about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We have Brenda here from Nashville, Tennessee. She\u2019s Australian. It\u2019s great to have you with us, Brenda. How are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi. Thanks. Love your show. I just wanted to elaborate on the immigration situation in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Sure.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Australia is very multicultural. So many Asian, particularly Indian and various cultures in our nation now. Australia is accepting of immigration but the big issue dividing Australia is illegal refugee immigration.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Mmm-hmm!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-219707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/TrumpGorsuch-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/TrumpGorsuch-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/TrumpGorsuch.jpg 594w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>CALLER: Our borders being the ocean, Indonesia was our main problem there because it was not illegal by their country to have people trafficking. So a lot of people were making money out of boatloads of people coming over from Middle Eastern countries and whatever. Even a lot of businesspeople were tearing up their passports and coming through, you know, from very dangerous Middle Eastern countries. Some of them died at sea and the Australian Navy tried to keep some at bay. But we had a very liberal government for a while that took them in, and we also have an island near Australia &#8212; one of our neighbors &#8212; called Nauru, which is what became a settlement for the refugees, and like a motel kind of set up. But it became overpopulated and they got angry that they weren\u2019t being processed enough to come in and get our free medical and, you know (cell breaking up).<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right. But this guy was an ally of Obama, correct?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yep. The previous governments, both of them. Gillard was a good friend of Obama, seen playing ball with him at the White House, and that government &#8212; the Labor government &#8212; was very pro-Obama, very good friends with Obama, and were more leaning toward socialist in their attitude, more liberal. The new government is much more&#8230; The Liberal government &#8212; which is reversed, is our Conservative Party. And what happened is the United Nations &#8212; which see made up of a lot of little African countries anyway &#8212; decreed that we divide and send some of these people to various countries, and Obama accepted that, that they take a small percentage of these thousands. So 2,000 or whatever it was is a small amount. But the problem is, who knows who these people are? They haven\u2019t been vetted or processed.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Of course we\u2019re getting stricter now with new government. They\u2019re now going over to&#8230; One particular woman said to the doctor she\u2019s going over to Holland where they have free education for the children. She\u2019s gonna come in as a Syrian refugee there.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Brenda I hate&#8230; I don\u2019t mean to be rude but I\u2019m out of time, I have to stop you because I\u2019m so glad you called because this is evidence. She is Australian, understands. Where this story is going is Obama had an agreement, he would take &#8212; it was about 1500 or so in one instance of the most dangerous militant Islamists in exchange for the Australians taking the Central American refugees which were harmless, which opens up a whole bunch of questions. That\u2019s what Trump is shutting down, by the way.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-219301 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Trump-Fists-b-3-1.jpg\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Trump-Fists-b-3-1.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Trump-Fists-b-3-1-300x138.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>RUSH: Here is the truth, just a little bit of time here on the Trump call to the president of Mexico. This all ended up being largely fake news. This was historically reported by the Associated Press as Donald Trump threatening in a phone call with the Mexican president, that unless the Mexican military did more to control the bad hombres down there, that Trump was gonna send U.S. troops in there to fix the problem and to control it.<\/p>\n<p>The story did not contain anything to do with Pena Nieto\u2019s response. The report also said that Trump hung up, was supposed to go for a little bit longer than it did, Trump hung up on the guy. The Mexican government said that the AP account was not accurate, but that didn\u2019t stop the AP from running with the story, and it didn\u2019t stop other outlets like the Washington Post from picking it up as well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have a bunch of bad hombres down there,&#8221; Trump told the chairman of Mexico. &#8220;And you aren\u2019t doing enough to stop \u2019em. I think your military\u2019s scared. Our military isn\u2019t, so I just might send \u2019em down there to take care of it.&#8221; A person with access to the official transcript of the phone call provided only that portion of the conversation to the AP. The person gave it on condition of anonymity because the administration didn\u2019t make the details of the call public.<\/p>\n<p>Well, then it was leaked. If the administration didn\u2019t make the call public, the details, how does anybody know it? Somebody had to leak it, and that\u2019s probably somebody at the State Department. It\u2019s just somebody else that Trump needs to clear out of there. An anonymous source provides false information, i.e., fake news, about a Trump phone call with the president of Mexico and supposedly the transcript, a transcript that CNN, the purveyors &#8212; I mean, the king of the hill of fake news, even CNN says that it isn\u2019t true.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-219108 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Trump-Boxer-America-Great.jpg\" width=\"585\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Trump-Boxer-America-Great.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Trump-Boxer-America-Great-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>Mexico\u2019s foreign relations department denied the AP account saying it\u2019s based on absolute falsehoods, and later said that the statement also applied to the excerpt provided to the AP. The assertions that you make about said conversation do not correspond to the reality of it, the statement said. Anyway, it\u2019s more fake news. And it\u2019s designed to make Trump look like a fool or like a bully, or he\u2019s just unequipped, you know, just ill-equipped for the job. The guy doesn\u2019t understand how to speak diplomatically, bull in a china shop, this guy\u2019s gonna get us in real trouble. And of course these fake stories then result in people taking action, like McCain.<\/p>\n<p>After the misreported thing about Australia, McCain gets hold of the Australian ambassador to the United States and essentially &#8212; he doesn\u2019t go so far as to apologize, but it\u2019s kind of like when Ted Kennedy would call whoever was running the Soviet Union during the eighties and ask \u2019em to be patient, Reagan was kind of a novice, admittedly dangerous, didn\u2019t know what he was doing, but Ted Kennedy would tell Andropov or Brezhnev, &#8220;Be cool, be cool, we got it under control, we got Reagan hemmed in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is what McCain was essentially trying to comfort the Australians by saying (imitating McCain), &#8220;Look, this guy\u2019s not quite all there, but don\u2019t sweat it because there isn\u2019t gonna be drastic action, it\u2019s okay. The United States is still a big ally of Australia.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Let&#039;s start here with the fake news, because there&#039;s a lot of it out there today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
