RUSH: Okay. So the Norks launched a missile on Saturday that blew up the moment it left the pad. The rumor going around is that we cyber hacked the North Korean launch system, their computer system, and guess what? The Drive-Bys are not wasting any time in crediting the Obama administration for the high-tech hackery that the Trump administration was able to use.<\/p>\n
So eager have the Drive-Bys been, I probably should have figured this, but look at all the months that have gone by here. We\u2019re coming up on a hundred days and the Drive-Bys just jumped on this. And it demonstrates how eager they have been to try to credit Obama for anything that is happening. But the problem with that is they\u2019re bashing everything that Trump does. Therefore, there\u2019s nothing to credit Obama for, except this, which is a stretch.<\/p>\n

On Friday, here\u2019s what happened. The ChiComs, who\u2019ve done a 180 on the Norks, it appears, at least temporarily, the ChiComs told the Norks not to do another nuke test. By the way, apparently the world was shocked when this potbellied little dictator over there, Kim Jong-un — this is the strangest little country. The military in that country literally think of the leader as a deity. They start crying when they see the guy.<\/p>\n
Now, maybe they\u2019re crying because they know they\u2019re gonna be sent to their death, I don\u2019t know. But they start crying when they see the guy. Have you seen that haircut? We\u2019re not supposed to comment on people\u2019s appearance, but come on, who knowingly styles their hair that way? It\u2019s not like this guy has to wear a helmet and worried about helmet hair. One of the goofiest looking tyrants that you\u2019ve ever seen. The guy doesn\u2019t look scary, he looks — well, whatever. That\u2019s as far as I\u2019ll go. Probably in the era of political correctness I\u2019ve gone farther than I should have.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the little potbellied dictator is standing there reviewing the latest Nork military weapons in the parade. Have you seen those military people goose-stepping like that? They even they have women, they have women in combat in North Korea and they were goose-stepping too which meant they had to be wearing dresses when they did it. It\u2019s the strangest looking thing. You know what it reminded me of? You remember the last time the Olympics were in China? It was the summer Olympics when Phelps was making like a fish and breaking every water record there was.<\/p>\n
And the opening ceremony, do you remember the opening ceremony? You never forget it, right? The Drive-Bys referred to it as some of the most beautiful pageantry we\u2019ve ever, ever seen. There he is. Look at Fox right now, there\u2019s the little potbellied tinhorn. He\u2019s gone there. He was pointing out something about weapons to some military people. I really can\u2019t believe everybody\u2019s getting in a fever pitch about this guy but they are because he does have nukes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
At any rate, the pageantry of the Olympic opening ceremony and the Drive-Bys were ecstatic and impressed because China, of course if you\u2019re Thomas L. Friedman of the New York Times, China is the way to go. The Chinese have an elite group of people, 10 or 12, 20, whatever, and they run everything, the smartest people. They don\u2019t leave it up to anything in the private sector. The elites run everything, and that\u2019s what we ought to do. And the pageantry, the beauty, the choreography.<\/p>\n
And all of that was true, but you know what I saw? I saw sameness. I saw every person looking exactly like every other person, behaving like every other person. And it was on display exactly what happens to the individual in a socialist or communist system. We see this in the Norks military parade. All of those people goose-stepping around in perfect timing and choreography.<\/p>\n
At any rate, they\u2019re all walking by, they\u2019re goose-stepping by, and then some trailers carrying the latest missiles go by, and apparently intelligence people all over the world were shocked by what they saw. They saw what looked like a North Korean ICBM, an intercontinental ballistic missile that could travel 7,000 miles.<\/p>\n
Stop and think, 7,000 miles in an airplane is gonna take you, jeez, 23 hours. I know we have these, but that the Norks do. The Norks can\u2019t aim what they\u2019ve got now, so if they ever would fire one, you know, it\u2019s a crapshoot where it\u2019s gonna end up. And that\u2019s a problem, 7,000 miles. It\u2019s no wonder the people of that country are starving.<\/p>\n
Anyway, they could tell this just by looking at it, so it changed a little bit, at least according to the news that we\u2019re supposed to consume. Sometimes I think this news is made up in order to portray a new enemy as a real threat, that we\u2019ve got to get serious about. Of course, the Norks are not a new threat, and nobody\u2019s been able to do anything about them. And, by the way, nobody has ever forced the ChiComs to turn on \u2019em. Nobody before Donald Trump. Now, that\u2019s not supposed to happen. That is not supposed to compute.<\/p>\n
The ChiComs were supposed to make mincemeat of Trump. And it turns out that the Norks are losing patronage from the ChiComs because the ChiComs told the Norks not to do another nuke test, and the Norks didn\u2019t. They didn\u2019t do another nuke test, as they had promised. Instead, they launched one of their medium range, a new medium range ballistic missile in celebration of this gigantic parade the little potbellied dictator presided over. And that\u2019s the missile that blew up within seconds of launching.<\/p>\n
The rumor is it blew up because it was hacked by U.S. cyber experts, and, of course, the Drive-By Media is claiming that Obama and his administration developed the wherewithal to make the hackery possible. Now, here\u2019s the thing. Eighty-eight percent — I don\u2019t want to be a Debbie downer here, folks, but 88% of Nork missile launches have failed. But if you\u2019re Obama looking for something, why not take credit for it? So they did.<\/p>\n
Now Mike Pence is on DMZ, he\u2019s in South Korea and making no bones about what the Norks face if they continue with this, and the difference in the equation is the ChiComs. The ChiComs are indeed using leverage over the Norks to get this curtailed. For whatever reason the ChiComs do not want any more provocation from the North Koreans upsetting whatever is going on between the the ChiComs and the United States.<\/p>\n
Here, grab audio sound bite number two. This is CNN today. We have a montage. Actually, it\u2019s not just CNN. It\u2019s people at the Fox Business Network and others trying to give Obama credit for hacking the Nork missile.<\/p>\n

POPPY HARLOW: The Obama administration accelerated this secret program to sabotage these missile launches, including electronic warfare or hacking.<\/p>\n
ASHLEY WEBSTER: President Obama back in 2014 said that he would use cyber-attack as a way of trying to undermine North Korea\u2019s missile program.<\/p>\n
ADRIANA DIAZ: In 2014, President Obama ordered increased cyber and electronic strikes against North Korea\u2019s missile program.<\/p>\n
JOHN BERMAN: Is this failed missile launch perhaps an example of efforts started inside the Obama administration?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Is it not transparent or not? If the Obama administration perfected all this back in 2014, why has it not been used until now when Trump sits in the Oval Office? In fact, Trump was at the White House Easter egg — doing the Easter egg roll today. It\u2019s cute. I\u2019ve seen some of the footage of the Easter egg roll. It\u2019s a fun day for the little kids that get to show up and so forth. But Trump was asked if he had a message for North Korea. And it was two words: “Gotta behave.” (laughing) “Gotta behave.” Just love the guy, gets down, gets it, gets out.<\/p>\n
