\"\"RUSH: We just ran a commercial for a new book out there, The Persian Gamble<\/a>. It\u2019s by Joel Rosenberg. Joel Rosenberg was on the original staff of The Limbaugh Letter<\/a> many, many moons ago. He has now branched out. He\u2019s become one of the greatest thriller mystery novelists in the country, as well as becoming an expert on American Middle Eastern policy, and he\u2019s got a new book out. It\u2019s called The Persian Gamble. That\u2019s what the commercial was about. But I wanted to tell you a story. He met President Trump last Thursday for the first time in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

Now, Joel was a Never Trumper. Rosenberg was a Never Trumper at first. But he changed his mind the Thursday before the election. He had a chance to tell Trump about this and tell him how much of a pro-Trumpist he\u2019s become, and he told him about the book. He said, “Mr. President…” He brought an advance copy to the president of The Persian Gamble, and if you\u2019ve not read a Joel Rosenberg novel, you really… Folks, we\u2019re so proud of him here. They\u2019re just excellent. They are just top drawer.<\/p>\n

And this latest one, The Persian Gamble, Joel told me that Trump asked him to summarize it for him. So Joel said to President Trump, “What if…? Here\u2019s your summary, sir. What if the Iranian regime took the $150 billion that Obama gave them for the insane nuclear deal and then secretly went to North Korea and tried to buy fully operational nuclear warheads off the shelf?” He said that Trump\u2019s reaction was, “Well, how do you know that they\u2019re not doing that already?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Joel\u2019s novels are predictive. He predicts policy — what he thinks is going to happen policy-wise and on the ground — in the Middle East and particularly with American foreign policy and nuclear policy. So he\u2019s actually positing a theory here that the Iranians perhaps are in league with the North Koreans and buying nuclear weapons with money Obama gave them. This is something that Joel believes is possible. He doesn\u2019t know that it\u2019s happened. He has woven it into the novel, and it\u2019s fascinating. It\u2019s called The Persian Gamble<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
