This name Syed Farook, does that mean climate change in Arabic?  Well, it may as well.  Anyway, greetings, my friends, now, more than ever, it\u2019s the EIB Network and Rush Limbaugh.  And we are at 800-282-2882, and the e-mail address, <a href=\"mailto:elrushbo@eibnet.com\">ElRushbo@eibnet.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>What an amazing illustration of where this country is just watching the news media since last night following this event.  Folks, there\u2019s so many things here that are just rock solid simple that are being made complicated, obfuscated. It\u2019s absurd and it is obscene to watch the efforts of the left cover this up.  It\u2019s as though they think they did it.  I\u2019m talking about the Democrats that are talking about this, the media that is talking about this, trying to pin blame on people that had nothing to do with it.  It is almost as though the people on the left in this country feel guilty and are trying to transfer that guilt in order to protect their political agenda. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_114718\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Somber-Rush-San-Bernadino-C.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Ladies and gentlemen, 14 people are dead and a greater number are wounded.  If you can\u2019t identify, if you can\u2019t admit that what happened here is an act of terror, then you\u2019re not trying.  You don\u2019t need the motive.  They\u2019ve got the motive.  They just don\u2019t want to announce the motive.  Last night watching the media on this was as frustrating as anything I\u2019ve done recently.  &#8220;Well, you know, it\u2019s very delicate here.  We can\u2019t really.&#8221;  They had the name for three hours before they would announce it. &#8220;Well, we\u2019re gonna be very delicate, you know, we don\u2019t want to cause any backlash.&#8221;  Backlash?  Backlash?  What is it gonna take to wake people up? <\/line><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m telling you, the only thing that explains the Democrat Party on this and the only thing that explains the left and the media and everybody that\u2019s on the left is they know that their political agenda is threatened by these events, and they\u2019re doing everything they can to protect that agenda and make sure that it isn\u2019t damaged.  That is the sole reason for the way they treat these events.  Not just this one, but Fort Hood, you name it, whatever act of Islamic Jihad that happens in this country, it cannot ever be stated as such.  If you can\u2019t see that this was an act of terror, you\u2019re not trying.  Or either you are desperately trying to protect your political agenda from being damaged. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just stunning.  It has been eye opening.  It has been educational, informative, and illustrative to watch the pained efforts of many, primarily in the media and many of their guests to try to tell people this was not what we all know it is.  Before anybody knew anything, the left on their blogs and websites were out blaming right-wing Christians.  Brian Ross was out there &#8212; grab audio sound bite number nine, because a lot of people sent me e-mails today, &#8220;Was Brian Ross trying to find this guy as a member of a Tea Party group in San Bernardino?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>Remember the Colorado shooting?  Brian Ross, ABC News, investigative ace, went on the air claiming that the shooter was a member of a Colorado Tea Party organization and then had to walk it back.  So eager are these people to pin all of this on people that had nothing to do with it.  It\u2019s even gotten so absurd now that they are criticizing Republicans and anybody else who prays after these events as a total waste of time, total phoniness because prayers don\u2019t stop bullets and prayers aren\u2019t gonna fix this, and that\u2019s the cover of the <\/line><img id=\"eZObject_114715\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/DN_large.png\"\/><BR\/>New York Daily News today. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>It is never more obvious to me than it is today that the left knows it is responsible for this.  The left knows that it is as guilty as those pulling the trigger here, and they\u2019re doing everything they can to transfer that guilt and cover it up.  So since I got e-mails on Brian Ross about this, let\u2019s listen to how Brian Ross actually touched on this.  Good Morning America today, George Stephanopoulos, well known Democrat Party hack disguised as a journalist.  &#8220;Brian, what more are we learning about the possible motives of the shooters?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_114714\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-03-at-12.55.28-PM_large.png\"\/><BR\/>ROSS:  It appears to be a kind of hybrid workplace jihad.  He had issues, he targeted his coworkers.  But he also had recently traveled to Saudi Arabia where he met the woman he says he married. On his website, the dating line website, he appears to be an all American boy.  He enjoyed snowboarding, working on cars, and guns. He was very comfortable with the gun culture. He liked to relax by going in the backyard for target practice.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That\u2019s so touched that it is unbelievable.  Workplace jihad committed by an all-American boy.  Oh, yeah, just like every other red-blooded, ordinary American Republican.  Loves dating online, loves going out and taking target practice and who knows what the targets are.  Oh, yeah, snowboarding, working on cars and guns.  Do everything you can, Brian, to avoid what\u2019s staring everybody in the face. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll tell you something else I have noticed today before I get into in depth analysis of this.  You know, Obama\u2019s out there, and it\u2019s predictable what Obama\u2019s saying.  Obama\u2019s trying to lead everybody to another instance of workplace violence, and that, you could see that developing last night. I don\u2019t care what cable channel you watched.  They do everything they could to try to tell everybody that they didn\u2019t see what they saw and that they don\u2019t know what they know.  And so I\u2019m looking at conservative media today, in addition to all the other media today, and I, frankly, am a little bit blown away by the outrage people on our side, a lot of people, have for Obama and his attempt to portray this as workplace violence, much as Obama did after Fort Hood. <\/p>\n<p>The reason I\u2019m astonished is that I don\u2019t know why people take Obama seriously on this anymore.  Obama is the last person anybody needs to listen to for guidance or anything else on this.  Nobody thinks this was workplace violence.  This was an act of terror.  This whole workplace violence thing is an ongoing effort, as I say, to make people forget what they know, ignore what they\u2019ve seen, and believe some myth.  And that\u2019s because the left knows its agenda is culpable here.  The left and its so-called tolerance and political correctness is what permits this, creates the circumstances where all of this kind of activity can flourish. <\/p>\n<p>Workplace violence has become a joke. When you talk about Fort Hood and workplace violence, everybody that mentions that, mentions it as a joke. (interruption) No, no.  Mr. Snerdley, my point is, who cares if Obama calls it workplace violence.  It\u2019s no different &#8212; okay, here I go.  What would you expect a lawyer for John Gotti to say?  &#8220;He didn\u2019t do it,&#8221; right?  You would expect some lawyer for the local Mafia hit man to say of the guy he rubbed out, &#8220;It\u2019s an unfortunate accident. We feel very badly that it happened.&#8221;  What do you expect he\u2019s gonna say?  You really think Obama is gonna come out and proclaim this to be an act of terror?  You think Obama is gonna call it Islamic terror?  He won\u2019t even say the words. <\/p>\n<p>Does anybody think Obama\u2019s gonna say, &#8220;Well, he\u2019s looking at it, well, it could be, might be, could be outta here, long gone, whatever.&#8221;  He\u2019s not gonna say it, never has said it, he won\u2019t say it.  Workplace violence again, folks, is just a misdirection, and it is a feint.  This is the guy that said the video was responsible for Benghazi.  Who in the world takes him seriously?  I\u2019m surprised he didn\u2019t say it was a video that upset this guy, and he may yet do that.  And I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he did. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And we learned that when Syed Farook flew back to Saudi Arabia for instruction &#8212; uh, uh, uh to get married or what have you &#8212; he happened to see a video that been on the&#8230;&#8221;  Who cares what this guy says!  We know that it\u2019s not rooted in any kind of a reality.  I mean, here\u2019s a guy, Obama, talking about beating ISIS by fighting climate change? Does anybody take a word he says seriously anymore? I\u2019ll tell you, back to watching TV last night, I was just&#8230; (laughing) You know, I haven\u2019t done what I did last night in a long time.<\/p>\n<p>I had cable news on, and I was going all over the place, for hours.  And I haven\u2019t done that in I can\u2019t tell you how long.  And I learned last night why.  It was frustrating.  It was insulting.  It was insipid.  Everybody tiptoeing around. There were exceptions.  Megyn Kelly is an exception and a couple of others, but for the most part, the general tone&#8230; Some of the guests were okay.  But they were tiptoeing around that it even was a Muslim.  They were tiptoeing around that.  &#8220;Well, we\u2019ve got the name, but we can\u2019t go public with the name! It\u2019s a very, very, very delicate situation, all these worldwide activities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ve gotta be very, very certain before we release the name.&#8221;  Meanwhile, everybody knew the name.  I knew the name as of six p.m. last night. So did a lot of other people. But the networks are doing everything &#8212; and I\u2019ll tell you what they were doing &#8212; and maybe even some in law enforcement were doing (you know how far political correctness tentacles spread) &#8212; while they were withholding the use of the name. I have no doubt they were trying to find anything they could to be able to announce that this had nothing to do with Islam. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_114712\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GunsBackgroundPIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>That\u2019s what I suspected was behind the delay in revealing and announcing any of the information that they had.  They were looking for anything they could that would permit them to say it had nothing to do with Islam.  I\u2019ll tell you something else that got frustrating to watch last night with all these people saying, &#8220;I don\u2019t know what we do!&#8221; You know, there are people who are right on guns. California has some of the most strict gun laws in the country.  Gun control\u2019s not the answer to this.  It never will be the answer to something like this.  And more and more reasonable people with common sense, understand that.  <\/line><\/p>\n<p>But despite that, we still have people on TV wringing their hands, &#8220;What do we do?  How do we deal with this?  Oh, my gosh, what do we do!&#8221; There\u2019s a simple way, I think, of identifying this.  Because it boils down to, okay, we\u2019ve got a Muslim population. How do we know which of them are peaceful and which of them are inclined to jihad?  That really isn\u2019t hard.  It really isn\u2019t hard.  All of this requires courage to admit certain things and then take action after you discover what you need to discover.  But it boils down to Sharia.  It\u2019s as simple as that. <\/p>\n<p>If you have Sharia practitioners, you\u2019ve got people who are potential problems.  It\u2019s no more complicated than that.  If you know what Sharia law is, if you know what the book on Islam commands of Sharia, there is your manual.  I realize all of this is terribly politically incorrect to say, but if people are going to ask seriously, &#8220;What can we do? Oh!&#8221; They\u2019re wring their hands and saying, &#8220;What do we do?&#8221; There are answers.  There are plenty of answers.  There may not be the political will, there may not be the cultural will, but there are answers.  There are solutions. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just a question of whether or not we, as a society, want to come together and implement them and then enforce them.  Something else last night I have never seen before: The CAIR guy, the CAIR group with the press conference. Have you ever seen this? Before the networks had announced the name&#8230; No, the name had been announced by this time in some places.  Farook &#8212; Syed Farook &#8212; means &#8220;climate change&#8221; in Arabic.  The Los Angeles chapter of the Council on Arabic-Islam Relations went out and produced this guy. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_114721\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CNNSanBer.jpg\"\/><BR\/>He went out and produced the brother-in-law of Farook Syed to say they didn\u2019t understand it. They didn\u2019t know why. It didn\u2019t make any sense. They didn\u2019t have any answers, just felt terrible for the victims and wanted to make sure this was known.  I\u2019ve never seen that before.  But this guy said something very key to me, the tall guy, the executive director of CAIR. By the way, you need to understand: CAIR is the Muslim Brotherhood.  It\u2019s who they are.  If that means anything to you, fine.  But that\u2019s who they are. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>And this executive director, in listing the potential motives, said (paraphrased), &#8220;We don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s mental illness, we don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s hemorrhoids, we don\u2019t know what it is,&#8221; and he ended up with, &#8220;We don\u2019t know if it\u2019s ideological extremism.&#8221;  Now, that, to me, was key.  Not &#8220;religious extremism,&#8221; &#8220;ideological extremism,&#8221; because you know the arguments that people engage in over what Islam is and militant Islam and jihad.  Is it a religion?  &#8220;No, because Islam\u2019s a religious of peace, you see.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>And so none of this could happen with a true Muslim, Islam believer. And this guy from CAIR did not say &#8220;religious extremism,&#8221; because that would have indicted Islam.  So he called it &#8220;ideological,&#8221; which was very clever on his part because people in this country in their efforts to be politically correct often distinguish terrorists and point out that they are not Muslims and they are not part of Islam, the religion of peace.  In fact, they\u2019re practicing an &#8220;ideology.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a device used to separate them and distance them from Islam so that Islam remains pure and politically correct, untouched, and so forth. And this guy knew it full well, knew exactly what he was saying, and I think it was &#8212; at least to me &#8212; an interesting distinction he was making.  I don\u2019t know how if anybody or how many other people if anybody caught it nor what it means, other than the guy\u2019s very smart and very clever.  And I imagine that his press conference last night worked with a lot of people, which is a testament to how good the guy was.  But they are the Muslim Brotherhood. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Ah, it was just workplace violence.  That\u2019s all it was, nothing to see here, workplace violence.  There\u2019s no way.  There you have it.  Devout Muslim, his father says so, at a government holiday party.  Make no mistake, it was a Christmas party.  That alone could have been enough to set the guy off, who knows, but I think it was premeditated, it was planned, has to have been with everything we know about what happened. <\/p>\n<p>I want to go back to one thing, an observation here about this CAIR press conference that happened last night.  Do you realize how quickly they went into gear?  They were there on the spot.  They knew that this was Muslim related, and they knew they had to get in there and do damage control right off the bat.  They weren\u2019t waiting for the media to announce anything.  They knew, and their press conference, sensitive and apologetic as it was, nevertheless gave it all up.  They knew it was Muslim and their effort was to dissociate themselves from the shooter and his wife, girlfriend, whoever it was. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_114769\" class=\"alignleft\" align=\"left\" alt=\"large\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/1_large.png\"\/><BR\/>And something else about this.  You notice they were able to get to the shooter\u2019s brother-in-law.  How did they do that?  I mean, they got to this guy before the FBI did.  How does that happen?  The name hadn\u2019t been announced.  Wait a minute, now.  Maybe the name had.  Yeah, because they were talking about the guy.  Yeah, okay.  So the name had been announced.  But, man, they found this guy\u2019s brother-in-law in time for their press conference or maybe the brother-in-law called CAIR.  &#8220;Hey, are you guys gonna do a press conference? &#8216;Cause I want to show up and say I had nothing to do with it and I didn\u2019t know this guy.&#8221;  How does that happen?  I mean, I\u2019m just sharing the thoughts that I had while watching all of this. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>It just boggles my mind how it\u2019s all right out in front of us, and the efforts that were undertaken last night to tell everybody that what we saw didn\u2019t happen and that what we know about it isn\u2019t right. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I do want to get all my thoughts in on this.  I\u2019m trying to do them in a chronological order as things happened on TV last night.  By the way, the press conference is underway now, the chief of police in San Bernardino. We are not going to join it because I don\u2019t know how long it\u2019s gonna go.  I\u2019m sure many of our EIB affiliates have dropped off the program here momentarily to cover that press conference, but we\u2019re not going to for a host of reasons.  But I did just listen to a bit of it, and what I heard was the police chief announcing what they discovered in the perp\u2019s house last night. <\/p>\n<p>And it was a list of ammunition and guns and bombs.<\/p>\n<p>If anybody wants to sit here and continue to try to make the case that this is &#8220;workplace violence,&#8221; they need to be sent to a shrink.  For example, 12 pipe bombs, material for 12 pipe bombs, 2,000 9mm rounds, several other rounds, different size ammunition, material to make improvised explosive devices, IEDs.  This wasn\u2019t workplace violence.  This wasn\u2019t somebody that got ticked off over something that happened at the office and goes back home.  These are people that were planning further attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The police chief is answering questions and said, &#8220;Oh, yeah. They had enough in there for many more attacks, but of course we stopped \u2019em before they could engage in \u2019em.&#8221; This guy is not who the media is trying to tell you he is.  He\u2019s not some innocent little guy that got somehow ticked off at something.  The story that they are telling about Syed Farook is meant to defuse, distract, and misdirect you.  But the armament inside this guy\u2019s house dispels any idea that this was anything other than what it was, and it certainly wasn\u2019t &#8220;workplace violence,&#8221; and it was not random, and it was not spontaneous.<\/p>\n<p>Let me grab a phone call here, get one in in the first hour.  It\u2019s Amy in Colorado Springs.  Welcome.  Great to have you on the program, Amy.  Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hey, Rush, it\u2019s great to talk to you.  Thank you so much for taking my call. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You bet.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: How are you today?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m doing well.  Thanks.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_114762\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CNNSanBer3.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER:  Well, I just want to say, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s random at all, either.  I\u2019m here in Colorado Springs and obviously we just had a shooting not too long ago.  And I think there\u2019s these sleeper cells everywhere. We\u2019ve been so blind to the problem and not doing anything about it, and now they\u2019re starting to come alive, and we\u2019re gonna see a lot more of it. I have a feeling.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, you know what?  It\u2019s a good point.  Some of the things I heard from people attempting to tell us that this wasn\u2019t what it is were, &#8220;Well, I\u2019ve never seen a woman be involved in one of these.  Why, that doesn\u2019t sound like it\u2019s Islamic Jihad. You never see women.&#8221;  And then another one was, &#8220;Why go after a place like this?  I mean, it\u2019s a government building for people with disabilities.  I mean, what the hell?  Why go in there?&#8221;  Precisely \u2019cause it\u2019s a government building. Precisely \u2019cause it\u2019s easy. Precisely because there\u2019s a lot of people in there. Precisely because it\u2019s probably a gun-free zone since it\u2019s a government building in some form or other.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s related government services building, at least. <\/p>\n<p>But the whole point is to hit where nobody thinks they will hit.  For example, who ever dreamed that 19 people would hijack airplanes and fly them into the World Trade Center?  Nobody thought that until it happened.  So now people are saying, &#8220;Who would go after some people in a disability building?&#8221;  Exactly.  So I love all these Wizards of Smart trying to tell us, &#8220;No, it couldn\u2019t have been what our prejudice makes us think it is, because it doesn\u2019t fit the pattern.&#8221;  What pattern?  It seems to me it fits a pretty clear pattern.  A bunch of essentially totally innocent people are dead, for absolutely no reason other than they are not Muslim.  What else do you need?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like Rudy Giuliani said, &#8220;If you can\u2019t see that this is an act of terrorism with 14 people dead and many more injured, you\u2019re a moron.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_114768\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/499668630_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  You think if the shooter\u2019s name had been Syed Cruz, that they would have withheld the announcement for three or four hours?  How about Syed Trump?  Syed Limbaugh?  Obama says, &#8220;Well, you know, people on the no-fly lists are getting guns.  We gotta stop it.&#8221;  Whose fault is that, Mr. President?  How\u2019s that work out?  What?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They\u2019re winding down the press conference out in San Bernardino now.  The FBI guy just finished, and the important thing the FBI guy said was that they still don\u2019t have a motive and they\u2019re not yet prepared to call this terrorism.  He said the FBI has a very, very specific definition of terrorism, and they can\u2019t yet say that this incident fits that definition. <\/p>\n<p>You know what was interesting?  I saw a lot of former FBI guys on TV last night.  And to a man they all thought it was terrorism.  Now, I\u2019m not drawing any conclusions. I\u2019m not implying anything.  You can inferior all you want.  I\u2019m not implying anything.  I\u2019m just observing here. Jim Kallstrom was on Megyn Kelly\u2019s show last night, and Kallstrom was great. Kallstrom used to run the New York FBI office.  He is one of the founders of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mc-lef.org\/\">Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation<\/a>.  He is a Vietnam War vet.  I mean, the man is a genuine American hero. <\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think I would be speaking out of school if I were to tell you Jimmy Kallstrom is who bugged John Gotti\u2019s lair that enabled them to finally get a conviction.  It was Kallstrom and his team that did that.  He\u2019s on with Megyn Kelly last night and he\u2019s like the rest of us, frustrated as heck.  This is before the name has been publicly announced, and everybody knows this is what it is.  But he wasn\u2019t the only former FBI agent, field agent, executive.  There was a bunch of them on TV last night, and to a man they all said that this is doubtless an act of terror. <\/p>\n<p>Now, look, it\u2019s like Rudy Giuliani said, you got 14 people dead, innocent people in a building, it was an act of terror.  There was no question.  If this isn\u2019t terror, what is?  But the FBI\u2019s definition of terrorism as it relates to today, I imagine there has to be an incontrovertible bunch of evidence that it\u2019s militant Islamic motivation for it to fit the definition of terrorism as it\u2019s discussed today.  But I mean all these former FBI people last night claiming that it was and the current FBI saying we haven\u2019t determined yet, we can\u2019t get to the motive, and we\u2019ll tell you when we do.  So we\u2019ll continue to wait for the official declaration of what this was. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, 12 pipe bombs, 11 IEDs, counting down to the 12 days of Christmas in this guy\u2019s garage.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_114767\" class=\"alignleft\" align=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/499664578_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH: I mentioned, ladies and gentlemen, that last night as I was watching cable news, I really started getting frustrated at the&#8230; (sigh) just the futile efforts these people were making to avoid mentioning the name when they all knew it.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>And I know why they were waiting.  They were hoping that somebody would come up with an explanation that would make this nothing to do with this.  So they were wringing their hands and talking about how delicate the situation was, and how careful they, as journalists, must beeeeee before they announce the name.  And I\u2019m watching this, and I\u2019m sending notes back and forth with friends of mine saying, &#8220;Are you watching this? Can you believe this?&#8221;  We put a montage of it together for you here.<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>DEBORAH FEYERICK:  Right now we\u2019re being very, very careful in terms of reporting any sort of a name. <\/line><BR\/>DON LEMON: We\u2019re not saying the name! <\/line><BR\/>JONATHAN GILLIAM: We\u2019re not saying the name!<\/line><BR\/>BILL O\u2019REILLY: We have a name and the name is obviously a name that was on the, uhh, police band and it is a&#8230; uh&#8230; a Muslim name, an Arab name. So, we\u2019re going to wait. Take a deep breath. <\/line><BR\/>TRACE GALLAGHER: We have this information tonight about a name that was out there that may have been a foreign name. <\/line><BR\/>MEGYN KELLY: We\u2019re not saying this name of this person. <\/line><BR\/>ADAM HOUSLEY: We\u2019ve been told a name &#8212; at least I have &#8212; for about four hours. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  &#8220;But we\u2019re not telling gonna tell you what the name is. It\u2019s a very delicate situation. We can\u2019t tell you what the name is! We\u2019re gonna be very, very careful \u2019cause it\u2019s very inciteful \u2019cause of what\u2019s happening around the world. We can\u2019t tell you what the name is! We know what the name is; we can\u2019t tell you. We\u2019re gonna hold it back. We\u2019re gonna wait a while.&#8221; It went on for three hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Hey, I\u2019m not very good at foreign languages.
