RUSH: I was shouting during the press conference<\/a>, \u201cTell \u2019em why, tell everybody why!\u201d Because this is fundamental. It\u2019s not enough just to say that everybody\u2019s picking our pockets and that everybody\u2019s depending on us. Why have we allowed this to happen? Contrary to what the president says, our leaders in the past have not been dumb and stupid in this area. They have been compliant.<\/p>\n

They have been compliant. They have been in agreement with the idea that as a superpower, we already have an unfair advantage and so it\u2019s okay if some nations take advantage of us because that\u2019s how it ought to be. We ought not be able to dominate and rule everything. And this is where Trump was able to make inroads with the whole idea of Make America Great Again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The acknowledgment that we\u2019re the big kid on the block, the acknowledgment that we are the world\u2019s superpower led because of political correctness and guilt and any number of other things that liberalism permeates, led to the belief that, “Okay. We deserve to be paying more in NATO. It\u2019s okay if we have a $500 billion trade deficit with the Chinese \u2019cause it\u2019s what it takes to have peace with the Chinese.\u201d<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want to make anybody mad at us is the fundamental building block of foreign policy that we\u2019ve always had. We don\u2019t want to make anybody mad. After 911, what\u2019d the State Department do? The State Department had a symposium on why do they hate us so much, why did they do to us what they did on 9\/11? What is it about us that made them do this? As though it\u2019s all our fault.<\/p>\n

And the conclusion is, well, we\u2019re a superpower. It\u2019s only natural they\u2019d be afraid of us. It\u2019s only natural they would resent us. And so we\u2019ve got to demonstrate that they don\u2019t have to resent us and that they don\u2019t have to be afraid of us and so we\u2019ll take it on the chin in trade deals and we\u2019ll take it on the chin with NATO. This is the belief system.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care, Republican or Democrat, that was the operating belief system in the post-World War II order that was created and maintained by the State Department, which is its own little fiefdom. And Trump comes in and doesn\u2019t believe any of this. He doesn\u2019t believe we owe anybody anything other than what we owe them, but we don\u2019t owe them to give away our self-interest just because we\u2019re the lone superpower in the world. That doesn\u2019t mean we owe anybody anything. It doesn\u2019t mean they can pick our pockets. It doesn\u2019t mean that they can structure trade deals with us at a disadvantage and we do it knowingly. It doesn\u2019t mean that at all.<\/p>\n

So Trump is coming in and trying to redefine all of this and to say to the world: We\u2019re the United States of America, and we\u2019re not guilty, we don\u2019t feel guilty. We\u2019re not ashamed. We\u2019re the United States of America, and we know we\u2019re protecting you. We\u2019re the United States of America. We know that we\u2019re the world\u2019s largest economy, we are the economy that propels the world. We know this. And, as such, going forward, American policy is going to be that which benefits the United States of America first, because in the process, everybody else is gonna benefit as well. Because we\u2019re the good guys.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not stealing other people\u2019s resources. We\u2019re not selling short. We\u2019re not short-changing. We\u2019re not stealing. We\u2019re not doing any of this. When our economy grows, when our sphere of influence grows, the rest of the free world benefits as well, and we no longer are gonna apologize for it, and we no longer are going to act like we have to give things away in order to keep the peace. And we\u2019re not gotten act anymore like we\u2019re afraid to stand up for ourselves \u2019cause it\u2019ll make people mad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well, this little set of beliefs, these philosophies have roiled the Washington establishment. They cannot abide this. They hate this. They want a United States which walks around feeling a bit of guilt over our superpower economic status. They want a world order where the United States becomes the provider rather than the generator. It\u2019s a big difference when you treat nations of the world like they\u2019re a welfare recipient instead of generating enough wealth and economic activity where other nations can join the party and benefit from it. And that is the Trump philosophy.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not gonna treat the rest of the world as a bunch of welfare states that we have to purchase and buy in order to maintain an allied relationship with them. But this is what has established. And Trump knows human nature. The more we paid for, say, the defense of member nations of NATO, the more they began to disrespect us, the more they began to laugh at us, the more they began to take advantage of it. And because they were not having to pay for their defense, look what they were able to do.<\/p>\n

They were able to screw up their cultures with massive liberalism, directing things like new immigration policy and cultural upheaval because they were able to create these massive welfare states where politicians in these countries could buy their power. In the process, they set themselves up for a massive invasion by illegal immigrants from around the world, migrants and so forth, all because they didn\u2019t have to contribute to their own defense. They knew if anything untoward happened we\u2019d come riding in as the cavalry.<\/p>\n

Trump said those days are over. This has been the world order since World War II, folks, since the late 1940s. And I\u2019m gonna tell you, Trump is upsetting this applecart like he\u2019s upsetting every other applecart that he\u2019s decided to push. And they are beside themselves. Because they see Trump as obliterating and turning upside down this world order that they all and their descendants, their forebears, established long ago that has been established given United States policy no matter which party\u2019s been in the White House.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t matter if it was George W. Bush or it was Bill Clinton, the trade deficit with China was monstrous. It didn\u2019t matter if it was George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, or Barack Obama, NATO was bought and paid for by us. And whether it was Republican or Democrat, they all went along with it. This was the world order. This was the role the United States was to play. This is what gave us our good vibes, our good feelings. We were good people.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s looking at this and says it makes no sense, dollars-and-cents-wise, it makes no economic sense whatsoever, and it\u2019s weakening us, and there\u2019s nothing about this that contributes to American greatness. So he\u2019s blowing all this up. And rewriting trade deals and rewriting participatory deals such as NATO and so forth.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Last night at the rally in the Florida Panhandle Trump brought up all these supposed war leaders who called Joe Biden and begged him to run for president. Biden\u2019s out there saying all these world leaders are calling me. John Kerry said the same thing. Kerry said they\u2019re all urging me to run, back in 2004. I guess this is part of the Democrat Party playbook to say leaders around the world are calling me, begging me to run against this horrible Republican 2004, George W. Bush.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Right now it\u2019s Donald Trump. Anyway, Trump laughed and said — and I\u2019m paraphrasing this \u2013 \u201cOf course they want Biden to be president. Of course they want Biden back. ‘Cause they know Biden is gonna go back to letting all these countries walk all over us like they\u2019ve been doing for the last 50 years.\u201d And he\u2019s exactly right about it.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve all heard about, quote, the New World Order. Well, broom that from your conspiratorial minds. There is a world order. There is an order that was set up after World War II. McCain referred it during the 2016 primary when Trump\u2019s out there running. McCain was saying: why would we want to elect anybody that\u2019s gonna destroy this order that we set up, that we are running after World War II? It was a great thing.<\/p>\n

Well, this order, this world order had us apologizing for being a superpower and had us knowingly getting the short end of deals \u2019cause it was thought it was the only way to be fair. Since we\u2019re the richest nation in the world just like there can never be an American leader at the United Nations. The general secretary at the United Nations can never be an American. Why?<\/p>\n

Well, America\u2019s already too dominant. America\u2019s already too powerful, grossly unfair, grossly unfair, if the general secretary of the United Nations was an American. Why do you think the general secretary of the United Nations is always a minority, person of color from some Podunk country you\u2019ve never heard it? That\u2019s us.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s us trying to demonstrate how fair and how understanding we are of the plight of the have-nots around the world. The point is the world order that Trump is rearranging had the United States willingly playing a less than honest and powerful role in the world, all to show we didn\u2019t mean anybody any harm. It was a crock.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Joe Bite Me, vice president for Obama, is out in California. He\u2019s on a fundraising tour. He\u2019s promising all of his big time left-wing Hollywood buddies out there that he\u2019s gonna undo everything Trump did. And it\u2019s exactly what I have spent the previous half hour talking to you about, in large part, reestablishing the world order, United States\u2019 position in it. Meaning he\u2019s gonna unravel this Make America Great Again stuff. We\u2019re not gonna have that.<\/p>\n

Biden also said that this Democrat field is gonna be winnowed down real soon. The vast majority of these people are gonna be getting outta here \u2019cause they know they don\u2019t have a chance, and it\u2019s gonna winnow down real, real soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Did you see, by the way, shortly before the program began today, the ATF uncovered this massive cache of — I\u2019ll use the term — assault weapons, big cache, I mean, massive. It looked like hundreds and hundreds. Over a thousand guns. There are some handguns in there, but what I saw was all AKs and rifles and so forth. And you know where they found this?<\/p>\n

They found this in a home in Holmby Hills. Now, Holmby Hills, that is where Michael Jackson\u2019s home that he rented where he died, that\u2019s where this is. Michael Jackson was renting a home in Holmby Hills, he\u2019s taking the propofol in there to sleep. Remember, he OD\u2019d on the propofol, they had to take him to the hospital. He\u2019s dead.<\/p>\n

Holmby Hills is right near Bel-Air. Bel-Air is where Lori Laughlin lives, of the college entrance exam scandal. Bel-Air is hoity-toity. The point is — and you know the left-wing people, they\u2019re full of left-wing, obscenely wealthy people. What is somebody in the utopian state of California doing with a cache of weapons like this?<\/p>\n

Now, they\u2019ve not identified — at least I didn\u2019t see the name of the owner of the home in which all these weapons were discovered, and I didn\u2019t see how they were discovered, but I saw the weapons were laid out in the driveway, you know, ATF vehicles and SUVs and so forth there. And it was a massive cache.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
