<\/p>\nRUSH: We have an update on the vice president being called back to Washington. He was on the way to landing, getting ready to land in New Hampshire. It was an event to give a speech on the opioid crisis. (This is a crisis.) A Fox News report on what happened…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RICH EDSON: A senior administration official says that something came up that required the vice president to stay in Washington, and that administration official says there is no cause for concern. This is not health-related, nothing related to national security. We still don\u2019t know the exact reason why it was that the vice president was about to land in New Hampshire to give a speech on the opioid crisis there, and then was turned around to return here to the White House. We know that he returned here to the White House shortly before noon today. Still trying to get a better explanation or handle on what\u2019s happening. But that\u2019s the details we have thus far according to a senior White House official. Something came up, required his attention. He\u2019s not in New Hampshire, and he\u2019s here.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right, and it wasn\u2019t national security and it wasn\u2019t an illness. We don\u2019t know what it was. So that\u2019s the latest that is being stated about this.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: I want to whisper something to you about… I\u2019ve got a lot of people asking, “Rush! Rush! What is this Pence thing? What is it? I haven\u2019t seen Trump. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Rush.” Folks, chill here. I don\u2019t know diddly-squat about this, but if you know how to… For example, I just ran across a story that Putin has convened super-secret meetings with one of his foreign policy things. I actually think… Should I even tell you what I think? What if I\u2019m right? In this case, it\u2019s just a wild guess, folks.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not based on anything; that means I probably should not speculate. Let me just say, I don\u2019t think it has anything to do with anything domestic. That\u2019s what I\u2019ll do. Just leave it at that. I don\u2019t think Pence coming home from New Hampshire has anything to do with the domestic. I think this has to do with something unrelated to any strife or problem within the country. I mean, with whom are we engaged at the moment in tense moments?<\/p>\n
Not the Norks. Not the Japanese. Not the ChiComs. What if the Iranians are huffing and puffing about doing something to Israel, for example? I don\u2019t know that. I\u2019m just like you. I\u2019m an average, ordinary citizen under assault from people who hate the country, trying to make sense of the day as it goes by each day. You get these little snippets of news out there, and you might be able to put two things together.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: By the way, just in from Foreign Policy magazine, which is a magazine published by the Washington Post. “In a joint statement…” Now, I don\u2019t know if this has anything to do with Pence and the quick return from New Hampshire to the White House before noon. He was supposed to do a speech there on the opioid problem, and before he landed, he was recalled back to Washington. He got back before noon. Nobody has said why other than, “It isn\u2019t any big deal. Everything\u2019s fine, nothing to see here.”<\/p>\n

I saw something that made me think that there might be something percolating with Iran, that Israel is starting to get nervous over what they are seeing with Iran and the United States. And then there\u2019s this. “In a joint statement France, Germany, the U.K., and the European External Action Service [are] ‘extremely concerned\u2019 about Iran\u2019s breach of the JCPOA.” That\u2019s the Iran deal as its acronym, and what Iran has been doing is enriching uranium beyond the agreed to amounts and limits. Why is anybody surprised?<\/p>\n
Even after Trump canceled the Iran deal, they\u2019re out there in utter defiance of it. They\u2019re terrorists! (chuckles) But of course, the Brits and the French thought that the Iranians would behave, like they thought Hitler would behave, like they thought all these other despots would behave. “If they signed something, if they sign an agreement, they sign a promise, why, they\u2019ll abide by it.” No, they won\u2019t. So it says here, “We have been consistent and clear that our commitment to the nuclear deal depends on full compliance by Iran.”<\/p>\n
Oh. I should point out, when Trump pulled the United States out of the deal — and it had not even been ratified. Obama did not even submit his own stinking deal to the Senate for ratification because it would not have passed. One of the greatest illusions is that the Democrats wanted the Iran deal. Obama wanted the Iran deal for who know whatever number of reasons. We could guess. But he didn\u2019t submit it as a treaty or anything else requiring ratification. He just implemented it. Well, that\u2019s how Trump was able to cancel it.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not as easy to cancel a ratified treaty, but since Obama had not submitted it for ratification, it was easy. Just pull us out because we were not officially in. It was just Obama, while he was president, said (impression), “We gonna abide by this. Uhhh, this is who we are. It\u2019s our values.” So Trump pulls us out. When Trump pulled out, the French, the Germans, the Brits, the European Union all said (impression), “Well, we\u2019re sticking with the Iranians. We are staying in the deal. We are going to abide by the terms.” Now all of a sudden, the Iranians are not abiding.<\/p>\n
The Iranians are enriching uranium beyond what the commitments were at this stage of the Iran deal — which, of course, is now defunct. Trump pulled out of it. But these guys said, “Well, we\u2019re gonna stay in it,” and now, when they have learned that the Iranians are cheating, they\u2019re acting shocked, stunned, and amazed. They\u2019re saying (impression) like good, little European wusses, “We have been consistent and clear that our commitment to the nuclear deal depends on full compliance by Iran.” Meaning, “You mullahs are embarrassing us!<\/p>\n
“We stood by you and now you\u2019re enriching more uranium, so we can\u2019t stand by you now.” They wanted to blame it all on Trump, don\u2019t you see? The Brits, the Germans, the French, the European Union, they wanted to blame it all on Trump. But now the Iranians have gone and violated the tenets of the deal that these other nations decided to abide by, and that, I think, may have… I\u2019m wildly speculating, openly speculating that the Iranians doing this has got some nerves frayed somewhere. We\u2019ll see. It won\u2019t be long and we\u2019ll find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
