HA! HA!<\/p>\n<p>KERRY: And I\u2019ve seen him be quite emotional, and I can\u2019t vouch for why he did or what he said. I\u2019m just telling you that didn\u2019t happen.

The Maha did this or March 27, 2015. The Maha loved to take a phrase, rearrange it, and own it. Often he did this to prove a point in just one or two words. Here, Rush explains the fraud of Obama and Iran using just such a technique.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Barack Hussein O came into office claiming and promising to transform the United States of America, and he had said on many occasions he wanted to do it in a Reaganesque way. Not as Reagan did, but he wanted to be as effective as Reagan. One of the reasons the left hates Reagan is because of his effectiveness. Reagan did &#8212; for the eight years he was in office and many subsequent years &#8212; truly transform this country. And he did it with conservatism.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-397322\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051321-Obama-Iran.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051321-Obama-Iran.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051321-Obama-Iran-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051321-Obama-Iran-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, the left hates that, but they nevertheless marveled at Reagan\u2019s ability to do it. Obama\u2019s made no bones about the fact that he hated what Reagan did, what Reagan stood for, but he marveled at Reagan\u2019s ability to do it. And we are witnessing every day the transformation of this country. Be it Obamacare, be it the labor force participation rate of 92 million Americans not working but still eating.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-301436\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-022819-Reagan-Gorb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-022819-Reagan-Gorb.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-022819-Reagan-Gorb-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Be it open borders and a welcome mat to anybody who wants to come into the country and make them instantly citizens, no concern for assimilation because &#8212; as part of the transformation of America that Obama envisions &#8212; we must dilute what is known as the American culture. Now, previous decades of immigration were noteworthy because the immigrants that saw entry to the United States wanted to become Americans. They wanted to participate in the land of the free, the home of the brave.<\/p>\n<p>They wanted the freedom that we, as natural born citizens, had. So whether they came from Italy, whether they came from Poland, whether they came from Ireland, wherever they came from, they maintained their origins and their identities. But they became Americans. They learned to speak English. It became their primary language. They did everything they could, because they wanted to become Americans. That\u2019s what\u2019s out the window, among many other things.<\/p>\n<div id=\"zype_609d6228d0d88900017f8d6d\"><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.zype.com\/embed\/609d6228d0d88900017f8d6d.js?api_key=6yUf3WZePk78GtpC3BXdZSqZ5ma_gYmV_rEJ8OYJZ0wq3AlDKM2RFnOcBN0xiMco&amp;controls=true\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Now there is no distinctive American culture, and to the extent that there is, it is being impugned and blamed. American culture is said to be the reason we\u2019re hated around the world, and that\u2019s what Obama is trying to fix. He wants us to be loved and respected and adored. And to do that, we gotta sweep away the old America. Racism, bigotry, sexism, homophobia, all of that! We\u2019ve gotta broom it.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve gotta welcome everybody that wants to come in because virtually everybody denied entry to this country probably has relatives who built it, in Obama\u2019s world. The transformation of the United States is most recently underway in the nuclear negotiations with Iran. To put it in a nutshell, the manifestation of this particular transformation is the conversion of Iran to an ally and Israel away from allied status. I think there\u2019s no other way to look at this, given what we see, given what we learn, given what we read each and every day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-273544\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ObamaIranGoodFatwas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ObamaIranGoodFatwas.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ObamaIranGoodFatwas-300x106.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This administration is going out of its way to befriend Iran.

We don\u2019t have that right! That\u2019s not what America\u2019s role in the world is gonna be anymore, as per the Obama transformation.&#8221; This is major. This is a huge reversal. To treat Iran, the nation that has long been acknowledged as a state sponsor of terrorism, a worldwide sponsor of terrorism, now is an ally?<\/p>\n<p>TODD: There it is. End of line.
