CIA Director Contradicts Obama on Everything<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Two things have happened in the last two days that made me curious, things I haven\u2019t yet discussed.  Well, one of them we have.  Remember yesterday, I made a big deal of it. The CIA director goes on TV — well, appeared before a Senate committee — and totally threw Obama overboard on ISIS.  And Obama today is before us saying that we\u2019ve got \u2019em under control. Obama\u2019s saying that ISIS has never been in worse shape, that we\u2019re bombing this and we\u2019re bombing that.<\/p>\n

<\/a>We\u2019re taking out their oil infrastructure, and they\u2019ve never been weaker and they\u2019re retreating and doing this and that and the other thing.  And the next day, the CIA director goes before the Senate and says the exact opposite on everything, and they\u2019re stronger than ever. We have been ineffective in stopping them.  It was dramatic, folks.  It really… The Drive-Bys didn\u2019t focus on it, obviously.  But it was dramatic.  John Brennan literally contradicted everything his president said.  <\/p>\n

State Department Revolt Against Obama on Syria Is All About Hillary<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: And then I saw this last night.  And I had to read this from three or four different sources to understand it \u2019cause the writing is so confusing.  This version is from the Wall Street Journal.  “US State Department Officials Call for Strikes Against Syria\u2019s Assad — Dozens of officials sign confidential document protesting Obama administration policy, urge regime change.” Now, the first version of this was so convoluted I had to eventually find this. <\/p>\n

The upshot of this is there are 51 or 52 people at State Department who are dramatically opposed to the fact that we\u2019re just letting Assad run roughshod in Syria, that we\u2019re not doing anything to stop him.  And they all wrote and signed a confidential document stating their disagreement and Obama and the administration and demanding that we take out Assad and Damascus as the only way we\u2019re ever gonna be able to deal a serious blow to ISIS.<\/p>\n

Now, one of the reasons we\u2019re not is because supposedly we don\u2019t want to anger Putin and Putin is gonna take ISIS out, too; we don\u2019t want to supersede.  But that\u2019s all a distraction.  So what do we have here?  In two days we have the CIA director saying under oath something completely different than what the president said about the condition of ISIS.  The next day, 52 people in State — and these are not your average card-carrying conservatives in the State Department, understand.<\/line><\/p>\n

These are progressive leftists, and 52 of them have had it.  And they signed a confidential — leaked, obviously, one of them leaked it — stating that our current policy is a waste. It\u2019s the ineffective, irrelevant, and we need to take out Assad and we need to take out Damascus.  So I\u2019m asking myself, now, what…? You know, with this bunch, the first thing you say is, okay, what is the deceit?  Why would Obama order this kind of thing to happen? <\/p>\n

And you deal with that, say, “Okay, maybe that\u2019s not what happened here.” So the next possibility: Why the revolt?  I mean, it\u2019s been 7-1\/2 years and this stuff hasn\u2019t happened.  I don\u2019t have this… There hasn\u2019t been anybody come out, for example, and say that Obama\u2019s foreign policy in the Middle East, sidling up to the Muslim Brotherhood was disastrous. There hasn\u2019t been anybody come out and say, “Oh, my God, what we\u2019ve done to health care is an absolute disaster! Oh, we\u2019ve ruined it!”<\/p>\n

None of that. <\/p>\n

But now, when it comes to ISIS, we\u2019ve got the CIA and elements in the State Department now publicly disagreeing with and whatever else you want to say Obama on this.  My original thought was, “Is there a revolt going on here?  And, if so, what could be the explanation for it?”  And then I had to grab hold of myself and say, “Wait a minute. It\u2019s not that. There\u2019s no revolt going on.  Not in the sense that you probably understand it.”  I finally figured out, these are all Hillary people.  I don\u2019t know about Brennan, but I wouldn\u2019t be surprised.<\/p>\n

These are all Hillary people who are doing everything they can to separate Hillary from Obama and this disastrous policies of his involving ISIS.  Because they think the Hillary campaign can clearly see… The Hillary campaign does not want to run for office having to echo what these clowns at the Regime are saying.  Hillary doesn\u2019t want to have to run against Christians.<\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t want to have to blame the Second Amendment for this.  I guarantee you… Well, I can\u2019t guarantee you.  I am surmising that what this actually is, is Clinton people trying to separate her from what they see as very potentially damaging, disastrous, incompetent, immature, irrelevant Obama foreign policy.  That\u2019s the explanation.  It has to be.<\/p>\n

Gays and Lesbians Arm Up<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH: Try this in Denver: “Gun Sales Surge Among Gays, Lesbians, After Orlando Shooting.”  Homosexuals seem to be learning that they are their own best defense.  Seems like even gays are realizing they can\u2019t count on the Regime.  The gays can\u2019t count on the FBI.  The gays can\u2019t count on the administration to save \u2019em.  Nope.  They gotta go arm up.  That\u2019s right.  Your monolithic Democrat voting bloc, your Democrats cannot and will not protect you from a radical Muslim terrorist. <\/p>\n

Not even you.  Maybe it\u2019s not a big deal when a radical Muslim terrorist attacks a bunch of others, but when he targets gays, that\u2019s when you… As a protected Democrat constituent, that\u2019s when you would expect your government to do whatever they could to stop it, prevent it, punish whoever did it.  No.  Apparently gays and lesbians are arming up.  Does not Obama know, by the way…? I know he does, and this is strategic, too.<\/p>\n

Obama has to know that every time he goes out and starts talking anti-gun, he knows that he is the best salesman for guns in the country.  Let\u2019s admit it, folks. You know he knows that. You know that Obama knows that even more guns are sold every time he opens his mouth about it.  So, given that he knows that and continues to do it, for what purpose?  Anybody want to make a guess?  Be honest here.  Obama is not ignorant here.  He knows full it happens every time there\u2019s an event. <\/p>\n

People go out and buy guns, and you hear the stories, the stories are written, the media writes \u2019em \u2019cause they can\u2019t stand it.  Now gun sales among gays and lesbians.  How does anybody know, by the way, that gays and lesbians specifically are arming up in Denver? How do they know?  No, no, I\u2019m just asking here. I\u2019m just asking as a concerned citizen.  You know, you work at a gun shop, the door opens, here comes some people want to buy guns.<\/p>\n

And all of a sudden you say, “Hey, man, you ought to see how my business among gays and lesbians is skyrocketing!”  “Yeah? How do you know? Are they telling you?  Are they tell you, ‘I just saw 53 of my people gunned down in Orlando; I can\u2019t count on anybody else.  I need a gun\u2019?  Is that how they know?” Remember, this is open-minded, nonjudgmental Colorado we\u2019re talking about here. (interruption) What do you mean, maybe it\u2019s two girls coming in to…?<\/p>\n

Are you telling me the gun shop owner\u2019s gonna assume that they\u2019re lesbians if two girls walk in there and want to buy guns?  “Gun sales are surging in the wake of Sunday\u2019s deadly mass shooting in Orlando, Fla. The tragedy is generating new debate over gun control reform and the right to bear arms,” which is absurd. What\u2019s different this time is the clientele.<\/p>\n

“Mike Smith, a firearms instructor in Colorado Springs, is one of many closely tracking the sudden surge in gays and lesbians buying weapons.  ‘I think right now because of what happened, people are looking for answers,\u2019 he said. ‘You walk into a gun shop and you expect to see people, frankly, who look like me. I think we forget we\u2019re a country of all people, not just people who fit that predetermined mold.'”<\/p>\n

This profiling people. <\/p>\n

“The Pink Pistols…”  If you\u2019re just patient, you knew I would have the answer for you here. <\/p>\n

“The Pink Pistols is a national gun club for gays and lesbians. It saw its membership soar from about 1,500 members on Saturday to 3,500 on Monday.  Dozens of new chapters are springing up, including one Smith is creating in Colorado Springs. He said it\u2019s something he feels compelled to do, even though he\u2019s heterosexual.” Even though he\u2019s straight, he is in solidarity with gays. “‘I look at it as a disenfranchised minority that needs someone who\u2019s willing to say I\u2019m a resource who\u2019s here and willing to help,\u2019 he said,” and here\u2019s what it costs.<\/p>\n

Well, he\u2019s selling guns.  He says he straight, but he\u2019s helping the Pink Pistols expand their membership and arm up.  <\/p>\n

Russian Track Team Barred from Olympics<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH: I just saw that the Russian track team has been banned from the Olympics.  The male track team.  Why would that be?  I just saw.  I have no idea why. Is there doping scandal? (interruption) Oh, you\u2019d heard about this? I just saw it.  You knew about this before I saw the headline.  I can understand if the East German women\u2019s team had been banned, but they don\u2019t exist anymore.  They\u2019re now prison guards Siberia.  <\/p>\n

All-Female College Agrees to Accept Men who Identify as Women<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH:  Okay.  We\u2019ll have to get into this on Monday, but get this headline.  This is from NBC News.  “All Female College Agrees…” This is Smith College. “All-Female College Agrees to Accept Men Who Identify as Women.”  This is not going to end well.  This is not… We\u2019re gonna track this. (interruption) No, this is not how Hillary got into Wellesley.  Stop that.  Just be here.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
