RUSH: Kim Jong-un has backed down from his promise or threat to eliminate Guam, to erase Guam, to wipe Guam off the map. Another guy who didn\u2019t want to appease anybody. He wanted to wipe Guam off the map. Actually, I don\u2019t think any of that was ever true, either. But with a madman like this, you have to deal with the possibility.<\/p>\n

So guess what\u2019s happening? Guess who\u2019s getting the credit for this one? (interruption) Well, yeah, the ChiComs, but Mad Dog Mattis. The media is crediting Mad Dog Mattis because Mad Dog told Kim Jong-un, “Pal, if you do this, then there are going to be responses in kind,” and Kim Jong-un backed down. But Kim Jong-un said, “You Yankees, you Yankees, don\u2019t think this means anything, because I\u2019m just gonna be thinking about it harder!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“I\u2019m gonna take the time. I\u2019m gonna be watching you, Yankees.” So we\u2019re supposed to be quaking in our boots here as that little odd haircut supposedly ponders what\u2019s going on. We are now told also (laughing) this poor little guy himself is a victim! Do you know that it has been recently discovered that he\u2019s been taking steroids and therefore we might not have seen the real Kim Jong-un in the past six months? He might have been experiencing what\u2019s called ‘roid rage. I\u2019m not kidding! I\u2019m not making it up!<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t make anything up! Everything I tell you, I saw somewhere in the news. Some of it I print out; some of it I don\u2019t. I didn\u2019t print this out. I read it. It\u2019s in the voluminous Stack of Stuff<\/a> that I read between last night and this morning. The reason that it matters to me is \u2019cause there\u2019s one reason Kim Jong-un backed off and it\u2019s Donald Trump, who will not be given credit for anything. It is Donald Trump who told you who told this guy what-for. It\u2019s Donald Trump who practically begged this guy to hit Guam and everybody in Washington said, “Oh, my God! Oh, my God, he\u2019s begging him! Oh, he\u2019s… he\u2019s… Oh!”<\/p>\n

You remember this?<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s insulting Kim Jong-un! Oh, no! He just told Kim Jong-un to go to hell. Oh, no, he just called Kim Jong-un crazy! Oh, no!” In the left\u2019s view of things, that\u2019s gonna make Kim Jong-un really offended and really mad and he\u2019s gonna launch. They do not understand. You know, Rex Tillerson said, “Back off! Trump is just talking the language they understand,” and Kim Jong-un has backed off, and the last person you\u2019re gonna see get any credit for it is Trump. Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. Grab number 11 and number 12.<\/p>\n

\"\"This is John Berman. Oh, I forgot to tell you something — and, Cookie, don\u2019t bother giving me the bite. I\u2019m getting backed up here as it is. In that segment where I played the sound bite from Michael Eric Dyson (or Eric Michael Dyson, whatever), where he went on about how cerebral Obama is and what a pig-idiot Trump is, there was somebody else. There was a Republican or conservative guest. It\u2019s a Trump supporter, and I\u2019m having a mental block on the guy\u2019s name. He\u2019s from Utah, and he\u2019s a good Trump proponent, defender, supporter since the primaries.<\/p>\n

He acknowledged during this debate that the Nazis are bad people, that the Klan are bad people, and Kate Bolduan thanked the guy for being courageous enough to admit on CNN that he finds the Nazis and the KKK repugnant. It was no different than Algore in a vice presidential debate in 1996. Bob Dole was our nominee, and he had chosen Jack Kemp to be his veep, and Algore was the sitting veep for Bill Clinton, and they had a debate, and Algore stands there and says, “Now, Jack, you\u2019re not like the rest of your party. You\u2019re not a racist and you\u2019re not a bigot.”<\/p>\n

Kemp said, “Thank you, Mr. Vice President.” Well, this guy … I didn\u2019t even hear what he said. I heard Kate Bolduan — who was the infobabe who was hosting the segment — did pretty much the same number on this guy that Algore did on Jack Kemp. She singled him out for the guts and the courage to actually speak out against the Nazis and the KKK. And then she said, “See? It wasn\u2019t so hard, was it? See, we can all do that. If we would all do this, see how much better off we would be?” She was preaching, she was condescending, and it was the end of the segment.<\/p>\n

The poor guy didn\u2019t have a chance to react because she had just responded here to this Eric Dyson guy who had been talking about Obama\u2019s brilliance. I\u2019m saying, “Gee whiz!” Well, anyway, her coanchor sometimes is a guy named John Berman. He used to work with Alisyn … No, Fredo works with Alisyn Camerota. This guy… Maybe it is Kate. Doesn\u2019t matter. He\u2019s on at 11 o\u2019clock in the morning, I think. They float the times. This was this morning, CNN\u2019s Newsroom, and this is this guy John Berman talking about Kim Jong-un announcing that he\u2019s decided, for now, not to attack Guam.<\/p>\n

\"\"BERMAN: He blinked. He seemed to blink right here. Kim Jong-unbelievable. North Korea backs down.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, now I need to ask you: Does he sound disappointed? I want you to listen to this again. “Kim Jong-unbelievable! Oh, no, the guy backed down!” I don\u2019t know. That\u2019s why I\u2019m asking you people in the audience, because I could be misjudging this. But my interpretation is that they\u2019re a little disappointed. The disappointment is not anything other than Trump wins. They just can\u2019t abide it, and Trump is not gonna be given credit for Kim Jong-un backing down. The Chinese are gonna get credit. But why are the Chinese doing what they\u2019re doing? Donald Trump!<\/p>\n

What the Chinese have stopped doing… The Chinese have told the Norks, “We\u2019re not gonna import any of your worthless crap! No more your coal. No more your seafood.” Would you eat North Korean seafood? No way! Of course, if you\u2019re the ChiComs and you\u2019re starving, you probably would. But the ChiComs told the Norks, “None of your coal and none of your fish. None of your exports. Except the stuff that\u2019s currently in transit, we\u2019ll take it. Nothing. No exports. We\u2019re not gonna take it.” So the Norks… Plus, Nikki Haley gets credit for this because she put together this pressure group in the U.N. to force sanctions on the Norks that the ChiComs went along with.<\/p>\n

This is all Trump. This would have never happened. Obama could have never pulled this off. It was Obama and Clinton who basically stood aside while North Korea nuked up with American technology. Donald Trump made this happen. But he\u2019s not gonna get the credit for it. He did it by talking tough and not trying to appease and not trying to, you know, hold his little guy\u2019s hands and walk him through the dangerous woods. He warned him in no uncertain terms, “You\u2019re not gonna like it if you launch on Guam, Kim.”<\/p>\n

Here is Matt Lauer, Matt Lauer on the Today show today with Andrea Mitchell. Now, you tell me, are they disappointed or not?<\/p>\n

\"\"LAUER: Breaking news overnight in the North Korea crisis. After reviewing his military\u2019s plans to attack the U.S. territory of Guam, Kim Jong-un now says he\u2019ll wait and watch before deciding to launch. Andrea Mitchell has more on this. Andrea, good morning to you.<\/p>\n

MITCHELL: Good morning to you, Matt. I\u2019ve been talking to officials overnight, and they are discounting those reports; that Kim Jong-un has blinked, if you will.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh! Okay. So Trump didn\u2019t do anything, and Mad Dog Mattis didn\u2019t do anything, and the ChiComs\u2019 actions don\u2019t mean anything. He hasn\u2019t backed down. (impression) “My sources in the State Department say he hasn\u2019t backed down. Trump didn\u2019t do anything! Nothing to see here, Matt. Let\u2019s move on and see how Megyn Kelly\u2019s show is gonna do.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
