Hi, Robbie.  Great to have you on the program.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  I appreciate you taking my call.  I\u2019m a first-time caller.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  How you doing, Robbie?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I\u2019m doing good, my friend.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Good.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93626\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushPhonesWeGo.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER:  Hey, I just wanted to make a comment.  I don\u2019t agree with some things you say, and I agree with a lot of things you say, but I think we got a little bit too much criticism towards our president over this downed Malaysian airline that we know was shot down.  That\u2019s all we know from last week, that it was shot down.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  But we know who did it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, we can estimate, we can pinpoint who done it, you know, or think we know who done it, but we ain\u2019t even got our FBI or NCIS or anybody on the ground. The national community hasn\u2019t got anybody on the ground.  I mean, it\u2019s just a little too early to be criticizing the president, you know, start one hour after the plane went down.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  No, I don\u2019t think we start one hour after the plane went down.  I think the very fact that we don\u2019t have any &#8212; by the way, hey, Robbie, hold it.  You just said something that almost went right by me.  Why should we send the FBI or NCIS over there?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Because we had an American on the plane.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  There were 23 Americans on the plane, but they were mostly Dutch people. They were mostly people in the Netherlands on the plane.  It didn\u2019t happen here.  Why is our business to send FBI, NCIS over there?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, they sending them over there, apparently somebody\u2019s requested our assistance, and so naturally we\u2019re gonna send the best of what we got over there.  They help with this investigation.  It\u2019s just too early, within hours, Rush, you know, the news media, some on the news media was criticizing the president for not commenting more than 30 seconds while he was out making his, you know, hamburger stop &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Let me ask you this, Robbie.  Why did he go out today and do it again, then?  If he commented on Friday and everything\u2019s hunky-dory, why did he go out and do a mulligan today?  Democrat presidents get mulligans, do-overs.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah, he\u2019s getting do-overs, \u2019cause the American people expect it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9VA4W1wDMAk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  No.  He went out today \u2019cause he blew it so bad on Friday.  And you know why he blew it on Friday?  He didn\u2019t even act like he cared.  Do you remember what he said, Robbie?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  He said it looks like it might be a terrible tragedy.  Hey, it\u2019s great to be in Delaware, where Joe Biden is from.  It appeared to be totally disconnected, uncaring, and the dreaded insensitive.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah, I\u2019ll give you that.  Yeah, he was.  He was.  But this being in another country and they hadn\u2019t even got control of that part of the country, Ukraine, to where, you know &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  &#8212; we expect, you know, hard facts from our president as far as what caused this crash and what we gonna do and stuff, it\u2019s too early in the ball game for all that.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93627\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushFlagReaganPlaneDown.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  I tell you what.  Hang on, Robbie, I\u2019m gonna play a tape for you, Ronald Reagan, after a Korean jetliner went down, before we knew anything.  I mean, it\u2019s the Soviets that did it.  We knew far less on that than we did on this.  You\u2019ll hear the difference.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, we have the call from Robbie proving, in a way, my point that we live now in a world that has somehow been given over to moral equivalence.  Why is everybody criticizing our wonderful president?  It\u2019s only an hour after the thing happened, we don\u2019t know anything, and the president\u2019s out there.  Robbie, the president, in that flubbed first attempt at sincerity, said Russian invaders did it.  In his thing last Friday he said that we knew who did it.  So we didn\u2019t need to send NCIS over or the FBI. <\/p>\n<p>But the thing is, he got a mulligan today because he was not able to fake the sincerity on Friday.  Remember during the 2004 presidential campaign, CBS did an interview with Kerry, John Kerry &#8212; served in Vietnam, by the way &#8212; that was so bad, CBS gave him a do-over, and the tape of the reporter leaked out.  &#8220;Senator Kerry, you want to give that another go?&#8221;  He so flubbed up an answer, I forget what it was about.  So Obama got a mulligan today. <\/p>\n<p>But I just want to show you how things have changed.  We have here about 30 seconds of Ronald Reagan, and much like this event, back in 1983 over the Kamchatka Peninsula, I\u2019ll never forget it, there was a Korean airlines flight, 007, shot down by the Russians.  They claimed that it invaded their airspace, civilian airliner.  And what made it somewhat fascinating was that the president or the head honcho of the John Birch Society was on board.  You remember that?  I forget his name.  It was Larry something.  He was a congressman from Georgia and he was a prominent Bircher.  He was among the dead. <\/p>\n<p>So the conspiracy theorists, the Birchers thought that the Russians, the Soviets, shot it down \u2019cause the guy was right and he was hot on the trail of the global conspiracy and the New World Order and &#8212; (interruption) Larry McDonald was his name, that\u2019s exactly right.  And so that fed into it, that it couldn\u2019t have been an invasion of airspace, it had to be done on purpose because a member of the Birch Society was on board getting close to proving the New World Order global conspiracy as authored by David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and &#8212; hell, all of \u2019em.  But there was no rhyme or reason for it.  I think a couple Russian MiGs were scrambled and shot it down. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93635\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ReaganObama.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Ronald Reagan went on television to speak about the shooting down of Flight 007 by the Soviet Union.  This is enough.  This is 30 seconds. Let you hear a different time.  America was America.  America had moral authority.  America had a standing in the world, everybody looked to us.  When something like this happened, the world turned to the United States for answers, for a reaction, for a response.  We didn\u2019t demand it. We didn\u2019t send a memo out saying, &#8220;Okay, everybody pay attention to us. Okay, everybody ask us, okay.&#8221;  It just happened. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>We were the moral leaders of the world because of our system, because of our decency, because of our goodness, because of our devotion to individual liberty, human freedom, our opposition to places like the Soviet Union and communist China.  We, the United States back then, we were what everybody in the world wanted to be.  All the citizens the world wanted to be.  And whether we liked it or not, the world turned to us for answers, for inspiration, for explanation, for guidance, for reason.  And here is such an American president, Ronald Reagan, September 6th, 1983.<\/p>\n<p>REAGAN:  We know it will be hard to make a nation that rules its own people through force to cease using force against the rest of the world.  But we must try.  This is not a role we sought.  We preach no Manifest Destiny, but like Americans who began this country and brought forth this last best hope of mankind, history has asked much of the Americans of our own time.  Much we have already given.  Much more we must be prepared to give.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  He went on to talk about the responsibility the United States had.  This was a Korean airliner.  Now, yeah, they were an ally.  But they\u2019re a tiny ally.  It was half a world away where this happened.  There was an American on board.  But the world looked to us for answers.  The world wanted us to tell it the truth of what happened, because they didn\u2019t trust the Soviet Union to tell \u2019em the truth.  They didn\u2019t trust any of the allies of the Soviet Union, the Eastern bloc, to tell us the truth of what happened.  The world looked to us, and Ronald Reagan answered the call. <\/p>\n<p>Now, we know it will be hard to make a nation that rules its own people through force to cease using force against the rest, but we must try. It\u2019s not a role we sought.  Meaning, we\u2019re not aggressors. We don\u2019t run around thumping our chests, bragging about how we\u2019re the end-all to everything.  We just were by virtue of our existence.  That\u2019s what &#8220;we preach no Manifest Destiny&#8221; means. <\/p>\n<p>We do not believe that we are singularly better than anybody else.  That\u2019s not why we are and who we are and do what we do.  But like Americans who began this country and brought forth this last best hope of mankind, history has asked much of the Americans of our own time, because we have a duty.  We had been given much.  We secured much for ourselves, but as a result of our existence we had a duty to spread it, to stand for it, and to defend it. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8863\"><img id=\"eZObject_93634\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obama071714.jpg\"\/><\/a>This is gone now, totally.  This attitude, this belief in America simply does not exist, especially in today\u2019s Democrat Party, and especially in today\u2019s Regime, the White House, at the State Department.  So you just heard Reagan.  Let\u2019s listen to Obama from Friday.  Forget number six.  Let\u2019s listen to Obama on Friday, audio sound bite number seven, just in comparison.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:  Here\u2019s what must happen now.  This was a global tragedy.  An Asian airliner was destroyed in European skies filled with citizens from many countries.  So there has to be a credible international investigation into what happened.  The UN Security Council has endorsed this investigation, and we will hold all its members, including Russia, to their word.  The United States stands ready to provide any assistance that is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  And I gotta now go to my cheeseburger and fries fundraiser and one other fundraiser, and it\u2019s great to be in Delaware.  The difference is stark, and it\u2019s evolved here from this notion of we are who we are with a confident acknowledgement of our existence, to now a not-so-subtle apology for our existence.  Can\u2019t deny that, folks.  Mr. Obama apologizes or gets close to it many, many times, has in the past, continues to portray a similar attitude.  And we stand ready to provide any assistance.  Nothing here, there was nothing today in the mulligan.  There was no condemnation, really, of the act.  There was just (imitating Obama), &#8220;We will investigate, get to the bottom of it and make sure the UN gets to the bottom of this. Our member nations, we\u2019ll hold \u2019em to it, and we\u2019ll help out however we can.&#8221;  Let\u2019s go back to May 21st in 2010, on my program, where I, your host, foretold all of this.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE:  We were told during the campaign, 2008, Barack Obama would be the first post-racial, post-partisan president of the United States.  Let me tell you what he is.  Barack Obama is the first post-American president of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Gotta take a quick time-out.  We\u2019ll do it, be back right after this, my friends.  Do not go away.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Here\u2019s Mrs. Clinton last Thursday night on Charlie Rose, who said, &#8220;Mrs. Clinton, what does the United States do if there\u2019s clear indication, clear evidence that it was Russian separatists perhaps using weapons from Russia?&#8221;  Obama had already said that it was, but Charlie was asking Hillary, &#8220;Well, what do we do if there is clear evidence that it was the Russians and a Russian weapon that shot down the plane?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93636\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/HillaryReset.jpg\"\/><img id=\"eZObject_93637\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/HRCCR_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>HILLARY:  I think the United States has been very clear &#8212;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yes.<\/p>\n<p>HILLARY:  &#8212; in both its, uh, criticism of Russia and Putin &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Right.<\/p>\n<p>HILLARY:  &#8212; its support for Poroshenko, uh &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Right.<\/p>\n<p>HILLARY:  &#8212; and the new Ukrainian government.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yes.<\/p>\n<p>HILLARY:  Europeans have to be ones who take the lead on this! It was a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur over European territory.  There should be outrage in European capitals.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  There you have it.  This is the Regime, their former secretary of state. &#8220;Hey, Europe should take the lead on this! It was a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur over European territory. There ought to be outrage in European capitals.  It\u2019s none of our business.  Here\u2019s Reagan again, September 6, 1983.  (replaying of sound bite)<\/p>\n<p>It would have never have occurred to Ronald Reagan to slough this off.   &#8220;Well, you know what? This happened over the Kamchatka Peninsula, and it was a Korean jet. Let them handle it.  They ought to be flippin\u2019 mad over this!&#8221; It would not have occurred to Reagan.  It wouldn\u2019t have occurred to any American back then, to have that attitude about this. 9\/11?<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s just&#8230; (interruption) Well, I know. &#8220;Rush, it\u2019s a changing world.&#8221;  That it is.  That it is, and change&#8230; Look, I vowed in my life I was never gonna become a fuddy-duddy, but I guarantee you not all change is good.  We are not headed in a positive direction of change.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Mike in Wilmington, North Carolina, great to have you on the EIB Network.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Good afternoon, Rush.  Pleasure to speak with you again.  Have you found Braggadocio, Missouri, yet?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Have I found Braggadocio, Missouri yet?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Braggadocio Missouri, down near Haysi.  Located that town yet?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I\u2019m totally lost.  I never heard of Braggadocio, Missouri.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, it\u2019s just south of the cape.  We spoke before and I figured you might have went in, looked it up, tried to find it.  Anyway I\u2019d love to speak with you, but I\u2019ve got a little message for Robbie here, our friend Robbie.  Hey, Robbie, the NCIS, are you serious?  Pray tell what information do you expect the NCIS to obtain?  You sound like a &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  But, Mike, see, that\u2019s the point.  It\u2019s a TV show.  That\u2019s reality now.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, he\u2019s a good old boy so we have to assume he was referring to the NTSB, but let\u2019s go ahead and do him a favor.  Robbie, pick up your 12-gauge and pump a couple rounds through your TV set because you are stupid.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) There used to be hosts that would have responded that way to Robbie.  I have never been a host who would have responded that way. I mean, that\u2019s cruel, Mike, to say, &#8220;Hey, Robbie, why don\u2019t you grab your 12-gauge and pump a couple rounds through your TV set because you\u2019re stupid.&#8221;  I, as host, would never say that to a caller.  That\u2019s why I say I\u2019m the politest host out there. <\/p>\n<p>Robbie\u2019s point was that, &#8220;Hey, why should we jump the gun, we get in Obama\u2019s chili here, we don\u2019t know what happened, he didn\u2019t cause it,&#8221; and, see, his question really brings to the forefront a serious &#8212; I hesitate to use the word &#8220;problem&#8221; because it\u2019s overdone.  It really reflects a major change in the American people\u2019s own attitude about their own country from what it once was and used to be, versus what it is now.  And it\u2019s not good. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=11394\"><img id=\"eZObject_93640\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushFlag4.jpg\"\/><\/a>Now, it\u2019s hard to say when it started, but the attack on the whole concept of American exceptionalism is a reflection of it.  Folks, I\u2019ll tell you the root here is that everybody\u2019s the same and everybody\u2019s equal and nobody\u2019s better than anybody else.  Wherever that started, and it maybe started in grade school, junior high, the public school system 30 years ago, the idea that somebody\u2019s better. Remember outcome based education? If you thought two plus two was five, that was okay. We were not gonna humiliate you and tell you the truth so you could learn from it.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re gonna wait for you to figure it out on your own and we\u2019re gonna penalize people who were fast learners and slow them down \u2019cause it wasn\u2019t fair that some people were smarter than others and it wasn\u2019t fair that they learned faster than others so we\u2019re gonna slow them down.  This whole notion that there isn\u2019t anything significant in achieving anything.  It\u2019s typified by Elizabeth Warren and Obama running around to every CEO, &#8220;You didn\u2019t build that.&#8221;  To every entrepreneur who\u2019s built a business, &#8220;You didn\u2019t do that. You couldn\u2019t have done that without the government and citizens and taxes, you didn\u2019t do that.&#8221;  This all-out assault on achievement, on excellence, on improving, on getting better, on being the best.  I mean, look at how many schools have gotten rid of valedictorian, because it isn\u2019t fair. <\/p>\n<p>Not everybody can be, so we\u2019re not gonna single out one person and give them an award for being the best in the school.  It\u2019s not fair.  This has been going on for years and now it\u2019s become an attitude about the country.  I\u2019m telling you, there\u2019s no good here, no matter how deeply you want to take this, this all-out assault.  Let me put a different way.  This blitzkrieg on sameness and equality, particularly when it comes to equality of outcome, that everybody must be the same, and when there are disparities and differences, we gotta punish the people at the top. <\/p>\n<p>The people who earn more, we\u2019re gonna take more.  The people who achieve more, we\u2019re gonna take more from \u2019em.  The people who do better in school, we\u2019re gonna redistribute the grades.  There\u2019s guilt associated with achieving. There\u2019s a guilt associated with success. There\u2019s an attempt made to make people feel guilty about achieving and to make other people feel comfortable with not achieving.  The whole notion of liberal redistribution is to make everybody the same and everybody equal, in that case it\u2019s all fair and everything. <\/p>\n<p>Well, you know, back when the Korean airliner went down, Reagan\u2019s point was, it was not Manifest Destiny, it was not us telling the world we\u2019re better than you and we have all the answers and we\u2019re the ones that are gonna tell you what-for and we\u2019re the ones that are gonna tell you what\u2019s right and what\u2019s wrong, it just accrued to us.  It just accrued to America because it was the truth.  America achieved that status in the world as a force for good, is why Reagan referred to this country as the last best hope of mankind, the last best hope of freedom.  We were.  We still are.  But we do not have leaders who see the country that way. <\/p>\n<p>To them, freedom is, I don\u2019t know, they take it for granted or it\u2019s much ado about nothing.  Remember, these are people that think the Constitution\u2019s backwards.  These are people that think the Constitution doesn\u2019t give the government enough power.  And the reason they want more power is to deal with all of these inequities and all the unfairness out there.  So that\u2019s the real problem with Robbie\u2019s attitude, in my mind, not that he said send NCIS over there, Naval Criminal Investigative Service, if you wonder what it is.  You know, send Mark Harmon and his crew over there to find out what happened, NCIS, FBI, whatever.  We didn\u2019t send the FBI over to Benghazi for how long, for crying out loud.  Two weeks or more, maybe even longer than that.<\/p>\n<p>The point that I\u2019m trying to make here is that it isn\u2019t good.  All of them think that it\u2019s erudite and it\u2019s compassion, it\u2019s understanding to think of us as no better than anybody else. It was never a question of being better than anybody else. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m talking about as a country.  It was never a question that we\u2019re better people.  It\u2019s that we had the best system for people to prosper, to develop, to blossom.  This is the country where people came to be the best, to realize their dreams.  We don\u2019t have people leading the country today who see it that way.  The people leading the country, they pay lip service to that stuff.<\/p>\n<p>They try to make you think they believe it, but they don\u2019t.  They think it\u2019s just the opposite.  Everybody who succeeds has done it as a result of a crime or on the back of somebody else or some sort of unfair advantage, and it needs to be equalized.  They don\u2019t look, for example, at underachievers as maybe people who have not tried as hard.  They don\u2019t see it as people who maybe haven\u2019t taken life as seriously as others. <\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t look at people who don\u2019t achieve as much as others as maybe not trying or expending effort.  Consequently, they don\u2019t look at the success stories and see all the hard work and ingenuity and application and grit and determination and ambition. They don\u2019t see that.  They see unfair, unequal, inequitable results that come from a system&nbsp;(i.e., the United States) which is constituted unfairly and with discrimination and bigotry and bias built in. <\/p>\n<p>They think the successful people are the people who\u2019ve mastered the bias and the bigotry and the discrimination, who figured out how to game the system, and they are here to protect the victims of all these successful people.  And there are far more failures than there are successful people, since it\u2019s a bigger voting bloc. That\u2019s what\u2019s so hideous about this.  This bunch plays to the lowest common denominator of our population. <\/p>\n<p>They need a permanent underclass. <\/p>\n<p>What do you think the attraction is for poor, uneducated, unskilled young people from all over the world coming here illegally? There\u2019s value to the Democrat Party in those people.  What is that value?  Voters.  Subservient, dependent voters.  You know, folks, I was reading a column by Kyle Smith, Smith in the New York Post over the weekend about the Millennials, young people today, and how the vast majority of them are conservative Republicans but they\u2019re gonna vote liberal Democrat for two reasons. <\/p>\n<p>Let me find it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Michelle Obama Tells Kids &#8216;Folks In Congress\u2019 Want to Make Their Food Unhealthy.&#8221; So here you have the first lady, who\u2019s hell-bent on getting her preferred menu in every public school, and the kids are rejecting it.  The kids don\u2019t like it. Nobody wants it. So she\u2019s not reacting kind of, &#8220;Oh, well.&#8221; You don\u2019t reject these people because they\u2019re only out for you, only trying to help you.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re only interested in your own good and you\u2019re incapable of that yourself.  So what does she do?  People in Congress want you to eat unhealthy food! Now, that\u2019s utterly preposterous, it\u2019s outrageous, it is a lie, and yet the news media\u2019s out there spreading the word and promulgating this and promoting the idea.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, &#8220;folks in Congress&#8221; equals &#8220;Republicans.&#8221; So we\u2019ve gone from in the mid-nineties Republicans wanting to starve your kids, to now Republicans want to poison your kids with unhealthy food.
