RUSH: To Houston, Texas, next. This is Paul. Great to have you on the EIB Network, sir, hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, pleasure to talk to you, Rush. And my question for you was, how likely do you think it is that some of our defense cuts that we\u2019ve made, like the F-22, some of these fast destroyers, are appeasement for the Chinese buying up our debt to sort of empower their — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that would require speculation. I would rather put the cuts in defense where they belong. I mean you can blame the ChiComs all you want, but it\u2019s Barack Obama ordering them, right? Now, who cares why? He\u2019s cutting the expansion of defense systems. The secretary of defense, Robert Gates, who is a holdover from the Bush administration, says, (paraphrasing) ‘We don\u2019t really need all these anymore. We\u2019re going to go high-tech. We\u2019re going to get more intel. We don\u2019t need the F-22, we don\u2019t need this, we don\u2019t need that, we don\u2019t need the new Navy destroyers, cruisers,\u2019 whatever the hell they are. This is just Obama. Democrats do two things: they raise taxes and cut defense. Now, if you want to say that the ChiComs are having a role here, I\u2019ll tell you where the ChiComs are involved. Does anybody but me — I mean, this was hilarious. If it weren\u2019t so serious, it would be hilarious. There\u2019s Barry, he\u2019s over in Europe promising a nuclear free world at the moment Kim Jong Il launches his test missile. And Obama said, (doing Obama impression) ‘I know, I know, I\u2019m not naive, I\u2019m aware, uh, uh, but I\u2019m not naive.\u2019 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you, if you want ChiCom involvement, the ChiComs own us. They are our banker. We want more debt we gotta go to the ChiComs. The ChiComs\u2019 allies are North Korea and Iran. This is the problem we have. The ChiComs, they might be telling Obama, ‘Hey, Bam, you want to keep us as your banker, get rid of these weapons systems that could pose problems for us,\u2019 but our nukes do that anyway, and Obama is talking about getting rid of those, too. Folks, I gotta tell you something. It\u2019s no wonder Obama is so damn popular over there. Who\u2019s he talking to? He talking to Putin. He\u2019s talking to Medvedev. He\u2019s talking to the KGB. He\u2019s talking to the Iranians, (doing Obama impression) ‘We\u2019re going to lead the way. We\u2019re gonna get rid of our nuke weapons; we\u2019re the only nation that ever used them and that means that we have a moral authority get rid of ours, moral leadership to show the rest of the world how it\u2019s done.\u2019 And they\u2019re going, ‘Yay, what a great guy,\u2019 and Putin is looking at Medvedev saying, ‘Can you believe this gift? This loco weed is going to get rid of his nukes, and he thinks we\u2019re going to get rid of them too. Hell\u2019s bells we\u2019ll applaud that, damn right, and when he wants to verify we\u2019ll take him all over Siberia and say, ‘See, there aren\u2019t any.” And the mullahocracy down in Iran, they\u2019re doing the same thing. <\/p>\n

Of course he\u2019s popular. He\u2019s disarming the United States. Now, this business with North Korea launching the nukes, Gates said there\u2019s nothing we can do to stop it. The Japanese just had to watch it and they said, ‘If anything falls in our country, we\u2019re going to go after it.\u2019 But nothing did. It made it across Japan and into the Pacific Ocean. Do you realize the moral leadership or authority we have surrendered in claiming we can\u2019t stop the Iranians? Do you realize how much is being repeated? I\u2019m going to tell you who Obama is in world history. Neville Chamberlain. He is the spitting image of Neville Chamberlain. Neville Chamberlain was as popular as Obama when he got back from visiting Hitler. In fact, there is a story in the New York Times recently — might be today, might be yesterday, I forget which — Hitler\u2019s economic policies were not bad for Germany. The New York Times, Hitler\u2019s economic policies, they weren\u2019t bad. He got a little excessive here when the Holocaust got kicked up, but Hitler\u2019s economic policies were not bad. Well, now, why would that assertion be made by the Drive-Bys who are hell-bent on Obama being seen as something other than he is? <\/p>\n

So I am telling you, if you want to compare Obama in any way, compare him to Neville Chamberlain. He comes back, he says we\u2019re going to have peace in our time, and he\u2019s feted and he\u2019s adulated and he is celebrated and he is regaled, and Obama is basically doing the same thing in his world tour. (doing Obama impression) ‘We\u2019re going to have peace in our time. Get rid of our nuclear weapons, by the way, the United States is not going to do the awful things that we\u2019ve been doing. Now I\u2019m in charge, we understand what we\u2019re guilty of, we\u2019re sorry, and we\u2019re gonna become mediocre like the rest of you. That way you won\u2019t hate us.\u2019 Well, I\u2019ve been asked the question, ‘Do you think anybody believes he\u2019s really going to get rid of nukes?\u2019 At this stage, again using intelligence guided by experience, Mr. Snerdley, and looking at everything else Obama is getting rid of you have to keep it open as a possibility. You have to. That\u2019s who he is. Don\u2019t you understand, what was the nuclear freeze movement, the global peace march for nuclear disarmament? <\/p>\n

There are Americans, people around the world who think the only reason the world is at war is because of us; we\u2019re too big; we gotta be cut down to size; it\u2019s not fair there\u2019s only one superpower because we\u2019ve become a superpower not because of our Constitution, but we\u2019ve stolen all these resources; we\u2019ve stolen the best people; we\u2019ve stolen everything; we use it for ourselves; we haven\u2019t paid it back, people live in poverty because of us. Obama believes this garbage, I\u2019m afraid. Do Medvedev and these guys think that he means it? Even if they don\u2019t, they\u2019re going to try to encourage him to do it. You gotta take it seriously.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, it\u2019s a very simple question. If Obama does not intend to reduce our stockpile of nuclear weapons, why is he saying he does? (interruption) For adulation. So he\u2019s just saying it. He doesn\u2019t mean it. He\u2019s just saying it because he wants to get the adulation at the thought to it, just like he\u2019s not really going to get us out of Iraq. He\u2019s just going to say so because he wants the adulation and all that. Ah, you may have a point. The point is he won\u2019t be able to get rid of them. That is the bottom line. Congress would stop him from doing that at some point. (interruption) Yes, Pelosis and Harry Reids. Yes. At some point, you know, sanity will emerge for fleeting moments when it\u2019s necessary. Otherwise, it will remain hidden behind the rocks. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I was asked earlier, ladies and gentlemen, by somebody doubting me, ‘Do you really think Obama intends to get rid of nuclear weapons? And do you really think all these world leaders think that he means it?\u2019 Let me read to you from the Associated Press, the writer of the story, Anne Gearan. She says that Obama\u2019s no-nukes promise is not so farfetched, and this is what suffices as AP analysis: ‘Nuclear weapons have become more trouble than they are worth, an expensive luxury for superpowers and a threat for the rest of the world.\u2019 Nuclear weapons have become more trouble than they\u2019re worth? Who the hell believes that? I dare say only the American left believes that. I\u2019ll guaran-damn-tee you Putin doesn\u2019t believe it. I\u2019ll guaran-damn-tee you the mullahs and little Mahmoud don\u2019t believe it, but I will guarantee you that Kim Jong Il does not think that they are more trouble than they are worth. They probably all do agree with the fact that they are a luxury and a threat for the rest of the world. I\u2019m sure they agree with that. That\u2019s why they want them. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the second bit of analysis from the brilliant Anne Gearan at AP: ‘The size of the U.S. and Russian arsenals inspires nuclear starter-states such as China to add to their stockpiles and give non-nuclear states a reason to join the club.\u2019 That\u2019s right out of the belief system Obama I\u2019m sure grew up with being taught, that the rest of the world is mean because we are, that the rest of the world has weapons because we do. No moral distinction whatsoever. There\u2019s a moral equivalence. We\u2019re bad, therefore they\u2019re bad. We behave in a braggadocios, bullying way, in their view, it\u2019s only natural the world would stand up to us. It\u2019s all our fault and this is the AP agreeing with it, and a lot of the American left does, too. And then this is the piece de resistance. This is the third analysis point from Anne Gearan of AP: ‘Getting serious about eliminating nuclear weapons makes the United States more credible when it argues that states such as Iran should not be able to build their own arsenals.\u2019<\/p>\n

So these naive little people believe that if we get serious about eliminating nuclear weapons, we are more credible when we tell the Iranians not to. It\u2019s not, Mr. Snerdley, they ‘will\u2019 think we are fools. They do. They think we\u2019re fools for electing Obama already. I guarantee you that the mullahs and Putin and Medvedev and Hu Jintao in China celebrated the day Obama got elected because they know what liberals in this country believe. They believe all the Soviet communist propaganda that was put out for 40 years. It\u2019s the US\u2019 fault. That\u2019s why he\u2019s going to be applauded, that\u2019s why I told you he is applauded over there. These people hope he means it. They\u2019re going to try to hold him to it. They\u2019re going to make him try to do this because they\u2019re going to lie to him and tell him they\u2019re interested in the same thing, except the Iranians. The Iranians will not because they claim they need to wipe Israel off the map, to which people will yawn, you know, no big deal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
