You can even look at it as you want as an Oz behind the curtain pulling the strings. I don\u2019t mean it that way. Politics is what it is. Every candidate has sponsors and friends and people that encourage the candidate, &#8216;You gotta run, Barack. You gotta run.\u2019 There\u2019s somebody behind the strings, \u2019cause the things that he is saying in response to various things McCain says or the president says are so predictable. They\u2019re right out of a particular page in the Democrat Party playbook. For example, McCain has changed his mind. In his mind, the facts about oil drilling and energy independence have changed. So he is now advocating exploration and drilling for oil offshore the US continental shelf. What does Obama do? He comes out and says, &#8216;This is just another example of the failed policies of the past.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"275\" height=\"298\" class=\"alignright\"\/>&#8216;Failed policies of the past\u2019 is a preapproved, focus group-tested little phrase. It\u2019s a cliche. Any Democrat can say it; they all have said it. I don\u2019t know what page in the playbook it\u2019s on, but it\u2019s in there. Obama didn\u2019t think of it. It\u2019s a traditional, knee-jerk Democrat response. What are the policies of the past when it comes to oil exploration? What is it? The policies of the past were discovering oil, building the oil industry, creating an energy source that lead to the geometric exponential growth of the United States and world economies, that increased standards of living, that changed forever the way pleasure and business were conducted. And Obama wants us to believe that all of that is the result of a failed policy of the past, oil discovery, oil exploration, oil discovery and refining? The creation of gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, this is a failure? That\u2019s why I said it\u2019s like they have three-by-five little&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Well, it\u2019s a computer file, but visualize it as a three-by-five-inch index card holder. And in that three-by-five-inch index card holder are approved responses based on all the opponent says. So McCain comes out in favor of oil exploration, so somebody in the Obama office or the Democrat Party goes to a little three-by-five-inch index card box, finds the appropriate response for, &#8216;We need to drill more oil,\u2019 and out come two cards. One says: &#8216;We can\u2019t drill our way out of this.\u2019 The other is: &#8216;This is a continuation of failed policies of the past.\u2019 In the meantime, we\u2019re told that this is the best that the messiah can do. This guy that\u2019s brand-new! There\u2019s never been another like him! Nobody\u2019s smarter. Nobody is more compassionate. There\u2019s nobody with a better feel, a better touch for the circumstances of average people in the country &#8212; and all he is is a walking, talking, leftist cliche! And he comes out with these cliches. It\u2019s like his speech. It\u2019s like his speech in church on Sunday urging black fathers to stay home and be fathers. <\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s the first to talk about the importance of fatherhood in the black community or anywhere else? No. Lots of people have done it. A lot of fathers have done it on their own without having to be told by the messiah to do it. But you know what\u2019s really ironic about that is that Obama should have and could have said, &#8216;By the way, I understand why some of you fathers there have taken leave of your responsibilities, and I intend to change it &#8212; and that is the federal government became the provider of your responsibilities. We provided welfare payments and AFDC payments for every child you fathered whether you stayed home or not, and so as far as the mother of your children was concerned, she didn\u2019t need you. She had us. Well, I, Barack Obama, am going to change that.\u2019 So Barack Obama\u2019s out there saying we need to fix this problem, when in truth it\u2019s people like Barack Obama who caused the problem! Then he\u2019s out there getting all kinds of credit for ingenuity and genius and courage for daring to say what he said in church. When, again, it\u2019s on an index card in their index box.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s somebody out there that\u2019s putting all these words in his mouth, and further evidence of this: ABC News posted on their website this story that Obama thinks that the way we ought to fight the war on terror is the way we fought the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. In the courts. This is huge, in indicating and illustrating how little Obama knows about the war on terror, about the \u201993 attack on the World Trade Center, about how and why certain suspects were prosecuted. A lot of it, Senator, had to do with the fact that they were in New York! The blind sheik and his buds were in New York. They blew up the building and then these idiots did something with their receipt, turning their rental truck back. They were tracked to their mosques. The blind sheik was here. Anyway, this is an interesting example. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let\u2019s go to last night\u2019s Nightline. Barack Obama, the Democrat presidential nominee, appeared and Jake Tapper interviewed him. Jake Tapper asked him this question: &#8216;Senator Obama, you applauded the decision that the Supreme Court made last week. The Bush administration says that no matter what people think about their other programs, other policies they\u2019ve initiated, there has not been a terrorist attack in the US since 9\/11 and they say the reason that is is because of the domestic programs, many of which you opposed, the NSA surveillance program, Guantanamo Bay, and other programs. How do you know that they\u2019re wrong? It\u2019s not possible that they\u2019re right?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: It is my firm belief that we can track terrorists, we can crack down on threats against the United States, but we can do so within the constraints of our Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, please.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: Let\u2019s take the example of Guantanamo. What we know is that in previous terrorist attacks &#8212; for example, the first attack against the World Trade Center &#8212; we were able to arrest those responsible, put them on trial. They are currently in US prisons, incapacitated.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"251\" class=\"alignleft\"\/>RUSH: This is so dangerously ignorant, and I mean this. I\u2019m not trying to be funny. I know I\u2019m a naturally funny guy. I\u2019m not trying to be insulting. This is dangerously ignorant. Let\u2019s go back to 1993. Yeah, we did apprehend a bunch of these guys. The blind sheik, Omar Abdel Rahman, a number of others, they were here. They were right in New York. They gave themselves away. We already had intel that these people were here and were doing things. But we didn\u2019t catch \u2019em all. Do you know who was involved in this we didn\u2019t get? Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The name ring a bell? Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was part of the first \u201993 World Trade Center bombing, was not apprehended, Senator Obama, and guess what he did? He finished the job on 9\/11, 2001. And between the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 and the destruction of the World Trade Center in 2001, after we\u2019d arrested these guys, Senator, and after we\u2019d incapacitated them, what happened? More terrorist attacks occurred all over the world, against Americans, Khobar Towers, the USS Cole, and might I remind you, Senator, with these guys in captivity, in our prisons, 9\/11 still happened, Senator, but since 9\/11 we have not had a single attack on the soil of the United States. <\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s different? We\u2019ve not been using the court system, Senator. We have been in the belly of the beast. We took the fight to them. It happens to be Afghanistan and Iraq. And, you know what, Senator? We\u2019re wiping \u2019em out. The Taliban has been disbanded. They\u2019re trying to re-band but they\u2019re having trouble. In Iraq, Al-Qaeda in Iraq is on the run. Even the AP today, in one of my stacks, has to admit, it has turned around in Iraq, both militarily and politically. I can\u2019t believe it, but it\u2019s there. What\u2019s changed, Senator? He wants to go back and fight the war on terror the way the Clintons did. What\u2019s new about that? Where is the change in that? He wants to fight the war on terror in the court system. Hey, Senator, do you know something? We indicted Osama. We indicted him long before the 9\/11 bombings. After the embassy bombings, the US embassy bombings, Bin Laden was indicted along with his top henchman, Ayman al-Zawahiri. Also, 24 others were indicted. Do you know how many of those 24 have been prosecuted, I should say? <\/p>\n<p>Six of them. Exactly six. And of those, the top-ranking Al-Qaeda figure, Mamdouh Mahmud Salim has never been tried for the embassy bombing and that\u2019s because when we gave him all the glorious privileges of the American Constitution, he used his access to free legal help as an opportunity to attempt a kidnapping escape from custody in the course of which he maimed a prison guard by stabbing him in the eye before being subdued. The attack on the USS Cole happened in October of 2000 in Aden Harbor, Yemen. No arrests, Senator, no indictment, until well after the 9\/11 attacks. That indictment has been on the books for years. As our many allies have pretended to pursue the Al-Qaeda perpetrators, there\u2019s no prospect of an American prosecution because of the justice system\u2019s painfully obvious limitations. But, look, the major point here is another opening for Senator McCain, a huge opening for Senator McCain to draw a huge distinction. <\/p>\n<p>Here is Barack Obama, the messiah, the candidate of change, the candidate of doing it a different way, the candidate of the future. In prosecuting the war on terror, he wants to go back and replicate the policies of the Clinton administration. When you\u2019re prosecuting the war on terror in your own court system, you are not prosecuting the war on terror. You can indict the world. If you can\u2019t apprehend the people you\u2019ve indicted, you haven\u2019t done diddly-squat. All you\u2019ve done, Senator, is do what your elitist, Northeast corridor buddies love, and that\u2019s this whole little magic phrase called &#8216;due process.\u2019 Oh, yes, when we\u2019ve engaged in due process as Americans, we love ourselves, we are good people; we are following our Constitution. And while we engage in due process, the people that we are using due process to apprehend are continually blowing other people up around the world. But we great, good Americans, we can fall back on due process, and we\u2019re good people. In the meantime, after 9\/11, the second attack on the World Trade Center, despite the first attack had many prosecutions and guilty convictions, didn\u2019t stop 9\/11 from happening, did it, Senator? All this stuff that you want to re-institute didn\u2019t stop it from happening. Well, we haven\u2019t had an attack since, Senator. You think it\u2019s \u2019cause the Bush administration is throwing indictments down all over the world? You think it\u2019s because the Supreme Court\u2019s usurping the commander-in-chief role? You think it\u2019s because your lawyer buddies and your judge buddies are going to get to run the war on terror now in our court system? <\/p>\n<p>Or do you think, Senator, that one of the reasons that we have not been attacked since 9\/11 has been because brighter people than you will ever be looked at the past and said, &#8216;This isn\u2019t working in our court system,\u2019 and we deployed the mighty, the brave, and the courageous United States military to do the job. And guess what, Senator? Despite the fact that you have 20\/20 vision for the future, you can\u2019t see the present, and you don\u2019t even want to go see the present in Iraq. I understand he is going to go. The fact of the matter is this brave and courageous US military is what\u2019s prevented an attack on this country since 9\/11. They don\u2019t deal in indictments, Senator. They have to put up with members in your party accusing them of rape and murder of women and children, and yet they still do the job and have made it safe for your skinny little rear end to run around and utter all these inane stupidities while people think you\u2019re the messiah. You owe them a debt of thanks, sir, not the court system.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Back to the phones to Bill in Kenmore, Washington. Hi, Bill. It\u2019s great to have you with us.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey. Hey.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It seems to me what this guy is talking about is police action. Police action only works after the attack.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Are you talking about &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Obama.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; the Obama, the messiah?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, the aerial cerebral Obama.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, we are being sold a bill of goods on this, and I think a lot of people are buying it because of these soaring speeches that say nothing, that are written for him by David Axelrod. This guy is not, by any stretch, the way he\u2019s being marketed and packaged.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.57631.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"299\" height=\"229\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CALLER: See, he\u2019s talking about a police action. Police is only after the crime. It doesn\u2019t do anything about preventing the crime.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s an excellent point. That\u2019s an excellent point: if you\u2019re going to use the court system, what? You have to wait \u2019til the criminals hit you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, only time you call the police for something, they say, &#8216;Well, have they done anything yet?\u2019 They won\u2019t do anything \u2019til it\u2019s happened. You can\u2019t prosecute a murder until it\u2019s been done. Right?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, not necessarily, if the Democrats get total control. I\u2019m not sure what they\u2019ll change in terms of people they don\u2019t want to deal with. I\u2019m being facetious here, but, yes, you\u2019re absolutely right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: He\u2019s talking about using the Constitution. Follow the Constitution. Well, that means you can\u2019t do anything \u2019til the crime happens.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s what I meant by this. These guys are so taken with this whole notion of &#8216;due process\u2019 and &#8216;fairness.\u2019 See, everybody to them, they look for the victim everywhere they can find them, and of course in world geopolitics, everybody outside America is a victim &#8212; a victim of us. We\u2019re the world\u2019s only superpower, and we have a giant footprint, and we\u2019re just squashing people like bugs all over the world. We\u2019re wiping \u2019em out, invading countries, and these people that fight back &#8212; these poor little victims who fight back, like Al-Qaeda, who can\u2019t take us being the world\u2019s superpower &#8212; we capture \u2019em, and, &#8216;Why, we\u2019re really mean to them to find out what they know about the next attack. We need to grant them due process.\u2019 I tell you, the Democrat Party may one day in the past may have been constituted with people about whom you could say they were the backbone of America, but no longer. <\/p>\n<p>If Barack Obama had been around during World War I or World War II and running this country, if the Democrat Party had been constituted then as it is today, with all the various constituent groups, America would not exist today as it does. We\u2019d still be here, but it would be an entirely, entirely different country than it is today. These people are ladled with so much guilt, they think that we deserve some of what\u2019s happening to us, if not more of what happens to us, because we\u2019re just too big and too powerful. So this whole notion of everybody else being a victim &#8212; Al-Qaeda is a victim, everybody is a victim, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is actually a victim. We\u2019re making him the way he is. This is what these people think! That\u2019s why they want to go talk \u2019em. Obama wants to go talk to these people and say, &#8216;Look, I understand how you feel. We know that you hate us because we\u2019ve had some cowboy presidents here who have invaded your area, and we\u2019ve had our bases and our interests there, and we know you don\u2019t like us because we\u2019re supporting Israel and so forth &#8212; and you have a point. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I just want you to know that with me in charge, no longer are we going to act as the cowboy of the world, and we\u2019re going to back off here.\u2019 And of course Ahmadinejad and his little nutcase buddies just sit there and chuckle and laugh at this. But this is what they genuinely think. They\u2019re nothing but a bunch of Neville Chamberlains. The whole damn Democrat Party and the leftist movement is a bunch of Neville Chamberlains, and that\u2019s what Obama is here. This recitation of his on comparing Guantanamo Bay to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing is just so ignorant. It is ignorant of history that\u2019s recent. What, 15 years ago was 1993 when the World Trade Center was first hit. Fifteen years, it\u2019s not that bad. He was just getting ready to be a Chicago community organizer. He know what\u2019s going on &#8212; or does he? There\u2019s something about this that just doesn\u2019t pass the smell test. This whole campaign does not pass the smell test, and it\u2019s going to show up. It\u2019s going to show up more and more as this whole thing unfolds. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Troy in New Orleans. Hi, Troy, glad you called, nice to have you with us.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. I\u2019m a first time call, bit nervous, but I was just thinking. We\u2019re giving these terrorists US citizens\u2019 rights, basically, and they got to be rolling around on their backs laughing at us.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: They do what they want. I\u2019m sorry?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Their lawyers certainly are laughing. But this is a huge problem. Not just the substance of the Supreme Court\u2019s decision, Troy, but look at it from a logistics standpoint. What are there, 270 people down in Club Gitmo right now?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125111.Par.34545.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"373\" height=\"499\" class=\"alignleft\"\/>RUSH: And nobody knows how this is going to manifest itself. These guys are going to be dumped on the US court system, put where? What guidelines was this judge going to have? This was not in the Supreme Court decision. This was an absolute disaster, not to mention a rape of the US Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: What\u2019s going to happen next? Are they going to sue us monetarily for wrongful imprisonment? You know, the government\u2019s going to have to pay them millions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t know that they\u2019re going to have standing to file civil suits. That\u2019s another thing that remains to be seen. But you are on to something. The tort bar, the plaintiff\u2019s bar of lawyers is going to see to it. They\u2019re going to lobby for that, and the Democrat Party would love nothing better than a whole bunch of show trials: the United States being sued for gazillions by these poor little victims that have been mistreated and tortured and held against their will by the Bush administration. Yes, you\u2019re on to something there, sir. It\u2019s not quite understood where this is all headed because the Supreme Court, of course, didn\u2019t sit there and say, &#8216;Here\u2019s how you did it.\u2019 They just said, &#8216;What you\u2019ve been doing, you can\u2019t do. You\u2019re holding these people without due process, habeas corpus and all this.\u2019 I\u2019ll tell you where we\u2019re ultimately going to have fight the left, folks, and that\u2019s in the court system. We had the decision, Supreme Court decision yesterday basically a green light for illegal immigration, regardless the will of the people here, and that was an extralegal decision. That was not their purview to make that ruling in this case. The Constitution doesn\u2019t grant them at the Supreme Court the power to make immigration policy. The Congress makes that, the representatives of the people, elected representatives. The courts are where we\u2019re going to have to beat back liberals. In addition to Congress and the Senate, of course, local legislatures and so forth, but it\u2019s also going to have to include the courts.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I just got a note from one of my favorite reporters, Bill Sammon. Bill Sammon writes for the Washington Examiner, formerly of the Washington Times, occasionally appears as a Fox All-Star on Brit Hume\u2019s roundtable discussion toward the end of his six o\u2019clock show, and he just got off a conference call with Obama foreign policy specialists. By the way, this represents, ladies and gentlemen, yet another illustration of how Obama is not about change. The two foreign policy advisors on the conference call were John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, and Richard Clarke, the national security advisor in the Clinton administration held over by the Bush administration. Here\u2019s the question that was asked of John Kerry and Richard Clarke. &#8216;The McCain camp said that if Osama Bin Laden were captured and detained at Guantanamo Bay, Obama would want to give him habeas corpus rights. They said that this morning. I\u2019m asking you two gentlemen, would he? In other words, should Osama Bin Laden have the same rights that were granted by the Supreme Court last week to other terrorism suspects?\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, took the first stab at this. He said, &#8216;First of all, the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that they have those rights. This is not Obama. This is the Supreme Court of the United States. If John McCain were president, he would have to give them those rights. This is a phony argument. It\u2019s typical of what the Republican playbook is, which is say anything no matter what the other side has said, just say it and enough people may believe it, unless you folks write the truth and write it boldly and write it clearly.\u2019 A little defensive there, Senator Kerry. And then Richard Clarke chimed in. Richard Clarke said, &#8216;If Osama Bin Laden were brought back, the Supreme Court ruling holds on the right of habeas corpus, but fifth, terrorists have routinely in the past, prior to this administration, been successfully captured around the world and prosecuted, including in the United States. With the exception of one participant in the World Trade Center attack of \u201993, they were all found, they were all brought back to United States, they were all given their rights &#8211;&#8216; that is not true. We haven\u2019t got the people who did the Khobar Towers. We haven\u2019t got the people that did the USS Cole. This is not true, but anyway, this is Richard Clarke saying this, &#8216;and they\u2019re all locked up in Supermax<strong> <\/strong> in Colorado. It can be done and it has been done.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>So, what do we conclude from this? It\u2019s very simple what we conclude. Obama\u2019s foreign policy advisors said today that Bin Laden, if captured, should be allowed to appeal his case to US civilian courts. That\u2019s change? That\u2019s the Clinton administration. We went through this earlier in the program. That did not stop terrorism. That\u2019s a police action. You only deal with these people after they\u2019ve hit you, after they\u2019ve blown up your buildings, after they\u2019ve killed your population. After they\u2019ve blown up your barracks, after they\u2019ve blown up your Navy ships, that\u2019s when you deal with them? That\u2019s going to stop terrorism? We put the blind sheik in prison, we put a bunch of his accomplices in prison after the World Trade Center bombing of 1993, and then terrorism continued to happen and the World Trade Center itself blew up when the airplanes hit it on 9\/11. The best and the brightest, the backbone of America, John Kerry, Richard Clarke, change that we can believe in. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, I\u2019ve mentioned in the past on this program &#8212; and I\u2019ve been very serious &#8212; in discussing Barack Obama, that I really do think that somebody else is behind this campaign.
