If you\u2019ve spent some time in the media listening to analysts and commentators talk about Obama\u2019s Oval Office speech, you probably heard a couple things, that he stood behind a podium, rather than sitting at his desk and everybody wondering why did he do that. Who knows. It was obviously for some optics reason.<\/p>\n<p>And the next thing, even from liberal, friendly sectors of the media, you\u2019ve heard people say that it wasn\u2019t anything new here. Obama didn\u2019t do anything new. I mean, he finally called Fort Hood &#8220;terrorism&#8221; rather than &#8220;workplace violence.&#8221; Aside from that, there was nothing new. There was no strategy, there was no new strategy. There was no &#8220;we\u2019re gonna get these guys.&#8221; There\u2019s nothing like that at all. So what was the purpose?<\/p>\n<p>Ladies and gentlemen, look, I\u2019m gonna put this in perspective for you as briefly and powerfully and as poignantly as I can by reminding you of something. Way back during the early days of Obamacare, going all the way back to 2010 when those of us who took the time to read it read it, we noted that there was no way it was gonna work. There was no way it could work. And that its objective was to wipe out the private sector health insurance market leaving people only one place to go, i.e., the federal government. That has been the purpose of Obamacare since the beginning. It\u2019s designed to not work.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_114860\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obama-Speaks-2B.gif\"\/><BR\/>We are in the midst &#8212; how many places have you seen, this exchange or that co-op or whatever is bombing out and failing, and then we saw the United Health CEO say, I\u2019m sorry, I tried, but I\u2019m pulling out, I can\u2019t any longer afford this. That was last week. And, you know, that kind of ticked me off because it was known that this was gonna happen. It was just cronyism that forced a lot of these hospital and insurance company CEOs to sidle up with Obama on Obamacare. But we had the quotes from Obama about how he\u2019s talking to his Service Employees International Union buddies. We played all these sound bites during the 2008 campaign, that his real objective was single payer but the American people weren\u2019t ready for it, that it was gonna take 10, maybe 15 years to get there. We couldn\u2019t do it overnight.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t do it overnight, the president said, and he laid out a strategy whereby the people will actually demand it. Well, how\u2019s that happen? How do people who live in a capitalist country demand the greatest act of socialism ever? Well, it takes a lot of work to make what happens in the private sector fail. So the first thing you do is you take over the health insurance market under the guise of lowering prices, including premiums and deductibles and copays and then you lie to people and tell \u2019em they get to keep their doctor if they like him, or her, and they get to keep the insurance plan if they like it. And then all of a sudden none of that happens, prices skyrocket, you don\u2019t get to keep your plan. The exchanges are unaffordable. The website, healthcare.gov does not work. I mean, it\u2019s amazing, all of it was a mess.<\/p>\n<p>My point all along was that was the design, because the real objective was not to fix the health care system. The real objective was to take it over. Much like Fast and Furious was an effort to get the American people so riled up that they would demand further gun control. Fast and Furious didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<p>But what it was, if you recall, the Obama administration facilitated the sale of American weapons, American gun stores, that would then be allowed to cross the border into Mexico and eventually end up in the hands of drug cartels who would then use those weapons and kill people and wound people and create mayhem. And it was supposed to be that the American people would then find out those were guns sold in American gun stores like any other gun is, and look at what happened. American guns in the hands of drug cartel kingpins and they\u2019re murdering people and killing people.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_114897\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obama-Danger-123-C.jpg\"\/><BR\/>And the reaction of the American people was supposed to be, &#8220;Stop it. We need more gun control! We need the government to move in and prevent this from happening.&#8221; Same thing with health care. The design of Obamacare was for it all to implode on itself, as it is doing. Not so that it can be rewritten and done right. No. So that the American people will clamor for the government to fix it. Now, all the while on Obamacare, Obama is employing the Limbaugh Theorem.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s over there as though he\u2019s got nothing to do with this. He designed a great health care overhaul, he designed this great bill, and now what\u2019s happening? These evil, greedy SOBs in the private sector are destroying it just as Obama knew they would, and he\u2019s powerless to do anything to stop it. He\u2019s trying! He\u2019s really hoping the American people don\u2019t get ripped off like this, but that\u2019s what capitalism is, and that\u2019s what our private sector is.<\/p>\n<p>So while he designs a system along with the Democrat Party &#8212; they\u2019re all-in on this &#8212; for Obamacare to fail, he\u2019s over there acting like he has nothing to do with it, and he\u2019s just as mad at all these private sector people as you are. And eventually people are supposed to throw up their hands in total frustration, and demand that it be &#8220;fixed,&#8221; because that\u2019s what always happens. A government devises a program, the program doesn\u2019t work or is mangled badly, and the American people demand that the people who broke it, fix it.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I\u2019m&#8230; The fact that there was nothing new in the speech last night (except that it was from the podium), the fact that there was no new strategy, the fact that there was&#8230; I mean, Obama spent more time last night talking about anti-Muslim bigotry than he did criticizing terrorism. Look, Folks, I\u2019m sorry to tell you, but the whole&#8230; This is Obamacare &#8212; and Fast and Furious &#8212; tried again. These attacks, such as San Bernardino &#8212; and all  attacks <\/p>\n<p>in the future &#8212; are going to be used by this administration to somehow enact even greater gun control measures.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what this is all about.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why there\u2019s not much to say about this speech last night.<\/p>\n<p>The speech is not designed to rally you against ISIS. I mean, I couldn\u2019t believe the way Obama was talking about this. He was talking about &#8220;We\u2019re gonna defeat ISIS like we did Al-Qaeda.&#8221; Those are paraphrased quotes. Here, grab sound bite number one; I\u2019ll show you what I mean. This is last Wednesday. This is not in the speech last night, but this is the mind-set that led into it. CBS Evening News last night, correspondent Norah O\u2019Donnell interviewing Obama.<\/p>\n<p>She said, &#8220;The FBI now has active investigations into ISIS sympathizers in all 50 states. You have had more terrorism-related arrests in one year since September 2001. Do you think Americans are living in a bit of fear that Paris could come here?&#8221; This is Wednesday. Now, don\u2019t forget going into Thanksgiving, this president told us there was nothing on the horizon. We had nothing to fear. We had no imminent ISIS attacks. Zilch, zero, nada, remember? No chatter, no nothing. Now, I want you to listen to what he says and listen to his prepositions and listen to his possessives in this bite. It\u2019s just 21 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_114859\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CBSOBAMA_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>OBAMA: ISIL does not gonna pose an existential threat to us. They are a dangerous organization like Al-Qaeda was, but we have hardened our defenses. Our homeland has never been more protected by more effective intelligence and law enforcement professionals at every level than they are now.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So last Wednesday night, ISIL&#8230; You know, here\u2019s the difference. ISIS stands for the Islamic State Iraq and Syria. ISIL the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant. Now, why would he call it ISIL instead of ISIS? Well, the Levant is more than Syria. Levant is the whole region. I think it\u2019s not an accident that he calls it ISIL, and I think it\u2019s not an accident that he wants to be using an abbreviation including the term &#8220;Levant&#8221; \u2019cause it\u2019s the whole region, because&#8230; I just think so. I\u2019ll leave it at that.<\/p>\n<p>I think there\u2019s a desire to show respect, if you will, for what\u2019s going on over there, and &#8220;ISIS&#8221; is not complete. But &#8220;ISIL&#8221; is the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. It\u2019s more than Syria. Yes siree, it\u2019s the whole region. Anyway, &#8220;ISIL is not gonna pose an existential threat to us.&#8221; Well, even when he said it, it was BS. They do. &#8220;They are a dangerous organization like Al-Qaeda was.&#8221; That\u2019s what stood out to me in this bite. &#8220;Al-Qaeda was? Al-Qaeda is no more? Al-Qaeda has been tamed? Al-Qaeda\u2019s not a factor anymore? Oh, really?<\/p>\n<p>So this is nothing more than a continuation of the political posturing that preceded and was part of the Democrat convention in 2012, that Obama &#8212; by killing bin Laden &#8212; had vanquished Al-Qaeda, that it\u2019s in the rearview mirror. (Obama impression) &#8220;There\u2019s no more Al-Qaeda. We beat \u2019em. We beat \u2019em bad. They surrendered! They surrendered and we got bin Laden. It\u2019s over.&#8221; Now, ISIS is all brand-new, and it\u2019s like something else is gonna be brand-new when we take care of ISIL and so forth. But Al-Qaeda is not dead. Al-Qaeda\u2019s not past tense!<\/p>\n<p>There is no &#8220;was.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Al-Qaeda\u2019s a very big &#8220;is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So this is pure political posturing, and it\u2019s disingenuous. It isn\u2019t true. &#8220;We\u2019ve hardened our defenses.&#8221; Look, this is key, folks. &#8220;We\u2019ve hardened our defenses. Our homeland has never been more protected by more effective intelligence and law enforcement professionals at every level than&#8221; every before. And yet this thing still happened, see? So Obama lays out this case. We\u2019ve never been better protected. We\u2019ve got Al-Qaeda in the rearview mirror! ISIS?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, they\u2019re dangerous, but yet they don\u2019t have any way of threatening us. And then they do what they did in San Bernardino, and that is supposed to&#8230; You take Obama saying everything\u2019s cool, we don\u2019t have a threat, nothing to worry about &#8212; then, of course, we do &#8212; and the logical next step is for the American people to demand Obama do something. And in his world, &#8220;doing something&#8221; is taking away your guns. Make no mistake about this, folks.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So the Republican presidential campaign has some fascinating developments over the weekend, including a reported strategy from the guy who runs the Jeb Bush PAC by the name of Mike Murphy. And I\u2019m gonna get into that in due course.<\/p>\n<p>But just a couple more sound bites on San Bernardino and Obama\u2019s speech last night. Walid Phares was on Fox News just moments ago (well, a little over an hour ago now), and remember it was Walid Phares a couple, maybe 10 days ago, who pointed out that the reason we don\u2019t really hit ISIS is because we are aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood and Syria and Iran. Obama is. And Iran wants nothing done to ISIS. Iran capitalizes from the chaos and the instability in the region brought about by ISIS.<\/p>\n<p>So Walid Phares was brought back by Fox today to try to explain from his standpoint what\u2019s going on, what Obama\u2019s speech last night meant, whether or not we\u2019re serious in dealing with ISIS and defeating them. Walid Phares is the National Defense University professor. And the question he got was this: &#8220;We heard from the president that we have to be careful about indicting or taking violence out on Muslim communities, because we know that these are terrorists. What do you think of those comments, as well as the president saying that we need the Muslim community to stand up against this extremism?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_114867\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/WALID.jpg\"\/><BR\/>PHARES: It\u2019s the same dilemma has advanced with regard to Iran: &#8220;Either you go to war or you do the deal.&#8221; No! In the case of the Muslim community there are forces in the Muslim community such as the democracy forces, the reform forces. We need to partner with them. Unfortunately, the administration has been closer to those who are close to the Muslim Brotherhood.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>JENNA LEE: Why?<\/p>\n<p>PHARES: Because they think that the Muslim Brotherhood are the best defense against Al-Qaeda, not knowing that it\u2019s the same ideology at the end of the day.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, now, that\u2019s really assuring. (chuckles) But I thought Al-Qaeda was gone, defeated, having slinked away (or is it &#8220;slunk&#8221; away?) into being a nonfactor. But what he\u2019s saying is that we do not partner with these moderate Muslim forces, because Obama thinks the Muslim Brotherhood is the best defense against Al-Qaeda, not knowing that Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda are the same ideology at the end of the day. That\u2019s really an indictment from this guy on Obama. So the next question was, &#8220;Well, you said that President Obama didn\u2019t identify ISIS\u2019 ideology. Is that still because of political correctness?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>PHARES: Because of political calculations, not just correctness. Because in the case of Arab armies, if the president goes and meets with those leaders, who would be upset in the region? Iran. We are bogged down by the Iranian deal because the Iranians don\u2019t want Arab Sunnis going against ISIS.<\/p>\n<p>JENNA LEE: If we stay bogged down, can we ever win?<\/p>\n<p>PHARES: No, we cannot. At least not for the next year.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Meaning, &#8220;We can\u2019t win, we can\u2019t defeat ISIS as long as Obama\u2019s president because he\u2019s never gonna take them out.&#8221; And reason he\u2019s not gonna take them on, Phares believes, is that it\u2019s because of Obama\u2019s association with or alignment with Iran over the nuclear deal. And that may well still be a factor. A lot of people think this is cynical. I don\u2019t. This is intelligence guided by experience saying this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, Obama\u2019s speech last night, what have you heard?
