He was on time for the most part. He was scheduled to show up at 10:30 and make comments regarding the closing (finally) of Club Gitmo, where we have a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/members.premiereinteractive.com\/pcd\/eServCart?iServ=MDU0U0MyODU2NiZpVHlwZT1BUFBBUkVM\">thriving licensed merchandise business<\/a>, by the way. One of the first things Obama did, to refresh your memories &#8212; I mean, it was the first week that he was in office. He\u2019s up there reading all these executive orders and making announcements about their intentions.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/members.premiereinteractive.com\/pcd\/eServCart?iServ=MDU0U0MyODU2NiZpVHlwZT1BUFBBUkVM\"><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/club-gitmo.jpg\"\/><\/a>And he\u2019s got some guy up there named Greg Craig who was a Washington lawyer who had been involved in sending Elian Gonzalez back home to the communists, from Florida. And Obama\u2019s going through these things he is gonna do and his executive orders, and he had to stop in the middle of it, say, &#8220;What are we doing here, Greg? What\u2019s going on here, Craig?&#8221; And Greg gets kind of embarrassed because he wrote it for Obama to say, and Obama didn\u2019t quite understand it. But they ended up talking about how they\u2019re gonna close Gitmo.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re gonna close Guantanamo Bay. &#8220;It\u2019s where we\u2019re keeping the terrorists. It\u2019s rotten, it\u2019s horrible, it\u2019s where waterboarding went on, it\u2019s a recruitment plus for the terrorists.&#8221; We have this prison there and he\u2019s been promising to close for seven years. So he goes out there today to announce that he\u2019s gonna close it, and really I was stunned watching this. For one thing the issue, as far as Obama goes, is seven years old now. There hasn\u2019t been any sense of urgency about this in seven years, not like this, today.<\/p>\n<p>And yet there he was portraying this &#8212; closing the prison at Gitmo &#8212; as one of the most pressing, urgent, important, &#8220;We can\u2019t delay any longer,&#8221; things that we face today. He went on about how hard he has been working for seven years to close this. He said that our allies call him every day demanding answers, wanting to know when we are gonna close Gitmo. Because Gitmo, according to Obama and our allies, is the number one terrorist recruitment tool in the world &#8212; which, of course, cannot possibly be true.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stop-the-Tape-Obama-GITMO-B.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Well, okay, I\u2019ll be glad to demonstrate that. What is Guantanamo Bay? It\u2019s a prison in Cuba. Who\u2019s there? Battlefield-captured terrorists. Right now there are 107 of them there. All these allies&#8230; Obama says all of our allies are calling him every day demanding to know what we\u2019re gonna do, when we\u2019re gonna close it. None of them want any of the prisoners, however. Obama said that. So what are we gonna do with \u2019em?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>What do you think we\u2019re gonna do?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re gonna transfer them here, folks!<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not letting \u2019em out of prison. We\u2019re changing the prison. We\u2019re gonna move them from Guantanamo to Supermax facilities in the United States. Now, if Guantanamo is the number one terrorist recruitment tool in the world, guess what\u2019s gonna happen? Our Supermax prisons are going to become the number one terrorist recruitment, because they\u2019re still gonna be in prison! This is&#8230; Well, A, it was insulting to my intelligence, but it was absurd to boot.<\/p>\n<p>Because we know what the number one terrorist recruitment tool is. It\u2019s Islamic supremacy, Islamic superiority, Islamic ideology, the imams, the mosques. That\u2019s where the recruitment happens. Are you kidding me that Guantanamo Bay is the number one terrorist recruitment tool in the world? That\u2019s no different than Obama saying, &#8220;The United States defending itself and protecting itself is the number one terrorist recruitment tool in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So essentially Obama just insults the United States again and basically claims that our very existence is putting us at risk because our very existence is angering young Islamic men and inspiring them to jihad. When anybody with half a brain knows that\u2019s not the case. What is inspiring them to Islamic Jihad is their mothers, their fathers, the imams, the mosques, and Islamic supremacy as it is taught. To be consistent, if Guantanamo Bay was making the United States an even bigger target, we would release them.<\/p>\n<p>No matter whether another country would accept them or not, we would release them. And then we would not be as big a target, right? Because then we would be nice people and we would be understanding and we would no longer be holding Islamic terrorists prisoners. But we\u2019re not gonna release \u2019em. We\u2019re just gonna move \u2019em. So we\u2019re really to believe here that a facility, a brick-and-mortar facility, maybe a couple palm trees, but you get the drift, in Cuba, is what is really putting us at risk from further terrorist attacks?<\/p>\n<p>I thought it was Apple. I thought it was iPhones. Now we\u2019re finding out it was Club Gitmo. Okay. So we\u2019re gonna move them to American prisons here in America, continental United States, where Obama says don\u2019t worry, they\u2019ll never get out. We\u2019re gonna put \u2019em in Supermax, never been an escape, isn\u2019t gonna happen. That\u2019s not what we\u2019re worried about. There hasn\u2019t been an escape from Gitmo, either. That\u2019s not the thing. The attempted escape becomes the problem. What happens if you have a terror cell that decides it wants to attack one of these Supermax prisons under the premise of trying to get one of these or two of these prisoners out? It\u2019s still increasing the risk for people that work at our prisons and people who live near them in any other number of ways.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPHeadinSandIslam-D.jpg\"\/><BR\/>This move doesn\u2019t make any sense, to close Gitmo under these premises. It\u2019s ridiculous that a brick-and-mortar facility with some palm trees and a beach happens to be the number one terror recruit. That telegraphs to the world what a bunch of rotten, mean people America has. And so in order to eliminate and get rid of that threat we\u2019re gonna move \u2019em to American prisons where they\u2019re supposed to then go, &#8220;Okay, we are happy now. You have closed Guantanamo Bay and put them in Supermax in Colorado. We love you now.&#8221; Is that how this works? It\u2019s crazy. But that\u2019s what Obama said he\u2019s gonna do.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Once again, if you strip it all away, what Obama said was that it\u2019s the very existence of the US, our laws and our enforcement of our laws that really ticks \u2019em off out there, really angers them and makes us a bigger target. If we just stopped enforcing our laws, if we just stopped imprisoning captured terrorists, why, they would respect us more, they would love us more and maybe attack us less. Here, listen for yourself, Obama. Two sound bites here from this morning at the White House, number one.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: When it becomes clear that something is not working as intended, when it does not advance our security, we have to change course. For many years it\u2019s been clear that the detention facility &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a second. Cue that back up. What evidence is there that these prisoners being in prison is not enhancing or advancing our security? It most certainly is. The people in the prison are not free to go out and conduct attacks. I\u2019m so glad this is about over, but this just reminds me what absolute horror these last seven years have been, dealing with this kind of &#8212; I don\u2019t care what the issue is. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s health care, we get this kind of nonsense BS, lies that insult everybody\u2019s intelligence. Mr. Trump, if you really want a guy that\u2019s not telling the truth about things, focus on this guy. This guy is leading the pack. This guy and the Clintons. They\u2019re making pikers out of anybody else you happen to think is lying out there. Okay, play this thing again from the top.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: When it becomes clear that something is not working as intended, when it does not advance our security, we have to change course. For many years it\u2019s been clear that the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay does not advance our national security.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How so?<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: It undermines it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How?<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: Keeping this facility open is contrary to our values.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Whoa, come on.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: It undermines our standing in the world. It is viewed as a stain on our broader record of upholding the highest standards of rule of law.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What an absolute crock. That\u2019s the biggest most gigantic filled crock I have encountered from this guy a long time. He\u2019s essentially saying, &#8220;For many years it\u2019s been clear that the prison does not advance our national security.&#8221; Our prison undermines it. Keeping the prison open is contrary to our values. What freaking values is he now besmirching? This is the constant go-to for Obama. &#8220;It\u2019s not reflecting our values.&#8221; I don\u2019t think his values are mine, folks, not too many of \u2019em. But clearly keeping Islamic terrorists in prison undermines our standing in the world? You notice it\u2019s always about that? It goes back to 2008, the Iraq war, Obama\u2019s campaign making the world love us again. And now it\u2019s been open for seven years under his auspices.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Limb-Theorem-Obama.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Once again, the Limbaugh Theorem on display. Obama acting like somebody else has kept it open. Somebody else is making this country at great risk. Somebody else is denying our values. Somebody else is making us look really bad around the world. He\u2019s gonna come in, save the day, and close the place down, even though for seven years, with all these reasons hanging over his head, every day he couldn\u2019t be bothered to close it. But now that he\u2019s leaving and he even said (imitating Obama), &#8220;You know, Biden and I are leaving so we don\u2019t even have to be political about it anymore. We can do the right thing.&#8221; Well, that\u2019s a tantamount admission that the reason he didn\u2019t shut it down is because of politics. Get this. Get this next bite. We have time here.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: I have been working for seven years now to get this thing closed.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right. That\u2019s enough. Stop the tape and go to a break. &#8220;I\u2019ve been working for seven years to get this thing closed.&#8221; As though somebody\u2019s been out there stopping him. As though somebody, these dark forces, powerful forces standing in his way. He\u2019s the president of the United States for crying out loud. It\u2019s the same reaction I have when I listen to Hillary or Bernie talk about the economy or health care. Who the hell has been in charge?<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Look at me. I\u2019m gonna tell you what this is really all about. What Obama wants, before we can move these people they have to have a trial. And, by the way, all these calls that he\u2019s getting from our allies asking about Gitmo, what they\u2019re really asking is will we take their refugees. That\u2019s what they\u2019re really asking. They want to get rid of their rabble. They\u2019re asking if we\u2019ll take them at Club Gitmo. They\u2019re not asking Obama when he\u2019s gonna shut it down so America\u2019s values are restored. What a crock.<\/p>\n<p>What this is about is giving many of these incarcerated terrorist bad guys trials, as though they are citizens. Obama knows plenty of radical left-wing lawyers that cannot wait to defend these guys, paid for by the United States Government. You remember how Obama and Eric Holder, they wanted to bring Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to New York for a trial and there was such an outrage. He still wants that. You might be saying, &#8220;What does he want to put \u2019em on trial for?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/511835894_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Well, folks, some people may not yet have learned this or may not yet have gotten to the point where they can accept it, but Obama disagrees profoundly with everything we did in Iraq and the War on Terror. He disagrees with everything about it. He doesn\u2019t like that we are at war with Islam, and he wants these terrorists to be able to testify to what rotten treatment they got. He wants these people in American courts shouting their grievances of the United States to the world. He wants trials for many of these people before he moves them to American prisons.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>And the reason he wants trials is he wants to give them a voice, and in the process of conducting their defense, they bring witnesses, they testify maybe themselves to their mistreatment, to how horrible the United States has been in their native countries, to their families and their friends or whatever, brace yourselves. &#8216;Cause that\u2019s the desire here. This is about making the United States face, in front of the world, the horror and the terror it has brought to otherwise innocent and harmless people around the world. Make no mistake that that is part and parcel of what is desired here.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, don\u2019t misunderstand. Obama can\u2019t close Gitmo on his own, and that\u2019s what this thing was all about today. The dark forces standing in Obama\u2019s way of closing Club Gitmo has been a bipartisan Congress, which has voted time after time in bipartisan majorities to not fund, to not pay for moving these terrorists. So, once again, Obama wants to go out and use illegal executive orders to bypass as much as he can &#8212; with public pressure &#8212; and that\u2019s why all this malarkey about, &#8220;It\u2019s not true to our values. It\u2019s putting us at greater risk.&#8221; It just condescendingly insulting.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the second Obama sound bite, by the way. Here it is, number 30. &#8230; Obama says, &#8220;I\u2019ve been working for seven years now to get this thing closed. As President, I have spent countless hours dealing with this. I do not exaggerate about that. Our closest allies raise it with me continually.&#8221; That\u2019s the bit about them calling him and raising it. He wants us to think that they want it closed. If they\u2019re calling him, it\u2019s because they want us to accept their refugees at Gitmo. They don\u2019t want it closed. They want to send us their dregs and everything else.<\/p>\n<p>Obama\u2019s trying to twist it around and say, &#8220;Oh, no. No. They want us to close Club Gitmo, and it\u2019s making everybody look bad.&#8221; When he says he\u2019s spent seven years trying to close it, he\u2019s implying dark forces &#8212; Congress, bipartisan, Democrats and Republicans &#8212; have refused to pay for it. They do not want these prisoners here, and they do not want them to have trials. There are some Democrats that want any part of this. Obama does. He wants them here so he can have trials.<\/p>\n<p>His plan is to put \u2019em in Supermax prisons here, which still has them in prison, which still is &#8220;not our values,&#8221; which still makes the prison a target for potential attacks trying to effect an escape. I mean, what\u2019s the difference if they\u2019re in prison here or there? It seems like we\u2019re safer if they\u2019re in prison in Cuba. It\u2019s the closest thing we\u2019ll ever have to Alcatraz here. This is all so damn convoluted. I\u2019m telling you what this is. He wants these trials. He wanted the Khalid Sheikh Mohammed trial.<\/p>\n<p>He wanted it in public. He wants it on television. He wants these people telling the world how rotten they\u2019ve been treated by the United States, how awful they\u2019ve been treated. They want these people to recount all of the horrors they have experienced at the hands of the US military. And who knows whatever else. I\u2019m here to tell you that Obama resents the heck out of the entire War on Terror and its premise. He won\u2019t even identify it. He will not even say Islamic terror. You can\u2019t even say &#8220;terrorism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t say &#8220;jihad,&#8221; none of this stuff. Now, I do. Just since I mentioned this, grab what on my sheet\u2019s number 31. It\u2019s the sound bite from 2009, January 22, 2009. That means it\u2019s the day after Obama\u2019s been inaugurated here. And when he first brings up the whole notion of closing Club Gitmo, and he\u2019s got this famed Washington lawyer Greg Craig with him there in the Oval Office, and Obama has signed the executive order calling for the closure of Guantanamo Bay within one year.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: In order to effect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo, uh, and promptly to close the detention facility at Guantanamo consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and interests of justice, I hereby order. And we then we will then, uh, provide the process whereby Guantanamo will be closed no later than, uh, one year from now. We will be&#8230; Uhhh&#8230;. Ummm&#8230;. Is there a separate executive order, Greg, with respect to how we\u2019re going to dispose of the detainees? Is that it, eh, uh, what we\u2019re doing?<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Craig.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CRAIG: We\u2019ll set up a process!<\/line><\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: We will be, uh, setting up a process whereby this is going to be taking place.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So here\u2019s on you young Boy Wonder president here announcing he\u2019s gonna close Club Gitmo. No thought has been given to what the hell we\u2019re gonna do with them. So in the middle of announcing of the executive order, he has to turn to the guy that actually wrote it, Greg Craig &#8212; who\u2019s the guy who got Elian Gonzalez out of that house in Florida and sent back down to the communists in Cuba. &#8220;Uh, Greg, uh, is there a separate order here for what we\u2019re gonna do with the terrorists? Uh, dispose of the detainees?&#8221; Craig says, &#8220;We\u2019re gonna set up a process!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, oh! Yeah, right. Yeah. We\u2019ll be setting up process whereby this is gonna be take place.&#8221; So he just ran out there. It\u2019s the first thing he wanted to do was satisfy these radical left-wing lunatics that had elected him, who thought that his election was all about closing Guantanamo \u2019cause of this silly notion about &#8220;our values&#8221; or what have you, and it looked like he\u2019d not even seen these. It looked like these had been prewritten for him, and he was sent out there to read them. &#8220;What are we doing next, Greg? What are we doing next?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, to the phones we go. This is Lena in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. Good afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I have a question.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What is that?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: So this morning Obama gave his little speech, and then in March he\u2019s gonna go visit Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Is it possible that he\u2019s going to just hand over the naval base over to Cuba and can he do so unilaterally without Congress\u2019 approval?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_118476\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/511711868_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER: No?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No. No. He can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Wow. He\u2019s done so many things he &#8220;can\u2019t do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Look, with this guy, there have to be caveats, I know. The law says that he cannot randomly, indiscriminately, not only hand bases over to people. He can\u2019t close \u2019em on his own. We had a separate base closure commission of former government officials who, since they\u2019re not in office, the flak they get won\u2019t affect \u2019em. Our current elected officials don\u2019t want their fingerprints on anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>So we set up blue ribbon panels to close bases, and we\u2019ve been doing that for (sigh)&#8230; Well, at least 15 years. But, no, he can\u2019t just hand it over to Castro. Castro\u2019s&#8230; By the way, it\u2019s a good question you\u2019re asking, because Castro just despises the fact that we have a presence there. He just despises that there is still a naval base at Guantanamo Bay. Now, your real question is, &#8220;If he could, would he?&#8221; And you can probably answer that yourself, Lena.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: If he could, he would.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: If he could, he would.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: He would have done it already.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, he doesn\u2019t want to go over there empty-handed. That\u2019s why I thought about this.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, he doesn\u2019t need to give \u2019em Guantanamo in order to&#8230; No. He\u2019s already given them the gift of recognition. He\u2019s just propped up this communist Regime when they were about to implode. He just propped \u2019em up. He\u2019s given them life.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He\u2019s not going to Cuba empty-handed. He\u2019s not gonna come back empty-handed, either. Anyway, I\u2019m not gonna begrudge him going Cuba. I\u2019d like to go to Cuba. But I&#8230; (interruption) No, I\u2019d be&#8230; I\u2019m too famous. I couldn\u2019t go. You can\u2019t do those kind of things. (interruption) What do you mean, they don\u2019t know me there? You have no idea. In your dreams they don\u2019t know me there. They most assuredly do know me in Cuba. They\u2019ve got a couple five-star hotels in Havana. Well, international five star. Well, look, they do have a couple of really&#8230; (interruption)<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_118475\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obama-CUBA-Golf.jpg\"\/><BR\/>For Cuba, 10 star, yeah. Worldwide. They\u2019ve got a couple from&#8230; I\u2019m reporting what I\u2019ve been told by people who have been there. It\u2019s not very many. I mean, most people are still walking around with their hands out hoping that the Castros will give \u2019em a rice cooker. The general population over there is still poor. (interruption) A day trip to Cuba? Yeah. But I can\u2019t get in there and get out. No, no. Americans still do not have the blanket freedom. You still have to get a certain kind of visas to get in there. Not much has really changed yet on that. There have to be specific reasons. You\u2019d have to get a journalist visa.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>They wouldn\u2019t give me one, I don\u2019t think. I wouldn\u2019t want to go on a journalist visa anyway. It\u2019s a little bit easier to get there, but it\u2019s not just, &#8220;If you want to go, go.&#8221; Although, I did read recently a bunch of airlines are expanding the number of flights from the United States to Cuba. It\u2019s gonna be an incredible number of, what is it, daily or weekly flights, whenever they get it up and running. But when I say I\u2019m too famous, I couldn\u2019t go there and not be noticed and followed around and inspected, you know, documented, and with news reported back what I did. I just couldn\u2019t do it. I\u2019m too famous for this.<\/p>\n<p>And Dawn says, &#8220;They don\u2019t know you in Cuba.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ha-ha-ha!<\/p>\n<p>If you only knew, folks.<\/p>\n<p>If you only knew.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By the way, I just want to reiterate again, \u2019cause I kind of threw this out there, I mentioned it in passing, do you see where the FBI, the Department of Justice has said, &#8220;Oh, by the way, after we got into this terrorist phone, after Apple left us in, we have 12 other phones here that we need help getting into.&#8221; And they\u2019re not related to terrorism. Other crimes not related to terrorism. Not terrorist possessed phones. Just 12 other phones. &#8220;Oh, by the way, we want Apple to get us in these phones, too.&#8221; It\u2019s not going to stop.<\/p>\n<p>From the New York Times on November 15th last year, 2015. Just a few months ago. &#8220;The latest defense bill out of the House even explicitly forbids the closing of Guantanamo Bay.&#8221; As recently as November.
