\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Now Obama, he\u2019s still speaking. He is still giving this speech about his Iranian nuke deal. But he characterized this in a very interesting way. He said, “We have achieved a detailed arrangement that permanently prohibits Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.” Now, forget the misdirection here about “permanently prohibiting Iran from obtaining,” \u2019cause we haven\u2019t. The deal doesn\u2019t even do that, but, hell, who\u2019s gonna call him on it? He can lie. He can make up everything he wants.<\/p>\n

He can say this deal is whatever it is, and who\u2019s gonna call him on it, other than us? “We have achieved a detailed arrangement…” Now, I\u2019m a words guy. You know I\u2019m the mayor the Realville, and words mean things. That\u2019s why my opposition to gay marriage is what it is, because is marriage is defined as a union of a man and a woman. It\u2019s not two people of the same sex. I have devotion to words and their meanings. I think it\u2019s one of the ways in which, by the way, our culture is being debased.<\/p>\n

And one of the ways in which the left is debasing the culture to advance their cause is by obliterating words, the language, and how they\u2019re used and interpreted. But point here is, he didn\u2019t say, “We\u2019ve achieved a detailed agreement.” He said, “We have achieved a detailed arrangement.” To me, an arrangement is not an agreement. Two people don\u2019t go to the church and get arranged. And we don\u2019t have Senate ratification of treaties for “arrangements.” <\/line><\/p>\n

And the arrangement is that Iran… This is what we\u2019ve arranged. Iran is going to be the dominant player in the Middle East now. Iran will remain the leading exporter of terrorism. Iran will be flush with cash because we\u2019re dropping the sanctions, and they will be given a clear path to a nuclear arsenal to go along with their standard, ordinary, everyday weapons, because we have an “arrangement.” I\u2019m telling you, it matters.<\/p>\n

He did not say “agreement.” He said, “We have achieved a detailed arrangement that permanently prohibits Iran from…” But it doesn\u2019t do that. I know he\u2019s lying about the permanence, the prohibition of a nuke. It\u2019s unforgivable but it is what it is. It\u2019s who Obama is. But here\u2019s the thing. He then said, “The sanctions would unravel if we walk away from our arrangement.” Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Just a second, now. <\/p>\n

The sanctions are lifted as part of the arrangement. What is this “sanctions would unravel if we walk away”? The sanctions are going away with the arrangement! So if we walk away, and there is no arrangement, are we also gonna take the sanctions with us? Why would the sanctions automatically unravel if there\u2019s no arrangement? Why wouldn\u2019t they stay on? But then there\u2019s another question about the sanctions that popped into my head as well. <\/p>\n

‘Cause Obama\u2019s out there — and this is not the first day that he said this. You know, a lot of people are zeroing in on the sanctions being lifted because that gives Iran anywhere from a hundred to $130 billion of cash that they can spend however they want. John Kerry (who served in Vietnam) has admitted that they could kill Americans with it. They will continue to fund their operations and policies in the Middle East. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s Hezbollah, Hamas, whatever they\u2019re in bed with. We\u2019ve acknowledged that\u2019s gonna happen. But Obama is saying that sanctions will not stop Iran from building its nuclear program. Not just today, either. I mean, this has been part of the argument from the beginning of this arrangement to drop the sanctions because the sanctions, they\u2019re not gonna stop \u2019em from doing anything anyway. <\/p>\n

Well, okay, then, isn\u2019t it a rather obvious question? If you\u2019re going to claim that sanctions, economic sanctions would not prevent the Iranians from going all-nuke, then why would the threat of them unraveling prevent the Iranians from cheating? Obama\u2019s out trying to make the claim that we can prevent Iran from cheating with this deal and so forth, but the sanctions are the key to it. <\/line><\/p>\n

But at the same time, he says that sanctions are not gonna stop the Iranian nuclear program, and that\u2019s his excuse for getting rid of them, because they\u2019re not gonna stop anything. So why would the threat of re-imposing them bother the Iranians? If the existence of sanctions is no big deal, then why would “snapping” them back on be a big deal? And yet that\u2019s what he\u2019s out there saying would happen here. If they cheat.<\/p>\n

(impression) “That\u2019s right. We catch the Iranians cheating, we could put those sanctions right back on.” <\/p>\n

But wait a minute! You just said the sanctions are not gonna stop \u2019em. <\/p>\n

“Well, that\u2019s right. You\u2019re asking a question you\u2019re not supposed to ask. You\u2019re just supposed to let me say it and applaud.” <\/p>\n

Oh. Well, I\u2019m sorry, \u2019cause it doesn\u2019t make any sense. You can\u2019t sit there and tell us that sanctions are not gonna stop them from going all-nuke, and then in the next breath tell us that the Iranians would be scared to death to cheat because the sanctions would be put back on \u2019em. If they don\u2019t count, they don\u2019t count. If they don\u2019t work, they don\u2019t work. This is what we\u2019re dealing with here. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. I have some audio sound bites of President Obama, and his speech just concluded short while ago on the Iranian nuclear arrangement. It is now an “arrangement” that we have with the Iranians, and we have four sound bites here in which the president bashes conservative media, bashes George W. Bush, and says that if Congress does not approve the deal, the Iranians will have a nuke in six months. (laughing) If we don\u2019t approve the deal…<\/p>\n

I thought we didn\u2019t have to approve it. I thought it was already approved at the UN. All of a sudden now, the US Congress matters? And it really doesn\u2019t. Here\u2019s why it matters: For Obama\u2019s legacy. Which is what this is all about. Obama wants the history books to read that while there was opposition on everything he did, he overwhelmed them, he defeated them, and in some cases he even persuaded them to join him. And that\u2019s what he wants in this Iranian deal. <\/p>\n

I cannot emphasize enough what these things are really about. We\u2019re dealing here, folks, with an interesting psychological study. Obama is genuinely a leftist, and he has these radically extreme leftist ideals that he is implementing, and my previously made comments over the years about his desire to transform the country because he\u2019s mad, unhappy, angry at the way the country was founded and it\u2019s time that a bunch of people had to pay the price for all the pain and suffering of others.<\/p>\n

Yeah, all that\u2019s true, too. But there\u2019s more than that. It\u2019s not just that. He\u2019s building a legacy. First president ever to get national health care in the US! After all the great presidents before him who tried, he\u2019s the one who did it. Saving the country from a ravaging recession and maybe depression. (Even though it hasn\u2019t happened, that\u2019s the story line.) The only president who ever got a deal with an enemy, limiting their usage of nuclear weapons. <\/line><\/p>\n

A lot of presidents have come before Obama, a lot of them have tried to deal with Iran, but Barack Hussein O was the only president in American history to ever be good enough, talented enough, smart enough to actually do it. That\u2019s the legacy he\u2019s shooting for. When it comes to the Iranian deal, the reason now all of a sudden Congress matters is because as far as the legacy is concerned, he wants it to look like he was able to get unanimity or at least majority agreement, even among his enemies. <\/p>\n

Because that will make it an even bigger deal in the history books. He is somebody that is acutely devoted to what will be said and written about him hundreds of years from now. I can\u2019t relate to that. (chuckles) I don\u2019t care what\u2019s said about me today, much less tomorrow. He cares about it a hundred years from now. Well, when I say it doesn\u2019t matter, it doesn\u2019t govern what I do is my point. I mean, everybody cares what they say about them, but it\u2019s not gonna make me change who I am in order to get them to say good things.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s another story. Let\u2019s just hit the sound bites and see what I am talking about here. Here\u2019s the first of four.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: When I ran for president eight years ago as a candidate, who had opposed the decision to go to war in Iraq, I said that America didn\u2019t just have to end that war. We had to end the mind-set that got us there in the first place. It was a mind-set characterized by a preference for military action over diplomacy, a mind-set that put a premium on unilateral US action over the painstaking work of building international consensus, a mind-set that exaggerated threats beyond what the intelligence supported. More than a decade later, we still live with the consequences of the decision to invade Iraq.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The disinformation, misinformation, the history revisionism now continues. Why, you would think that before Obama all we did was go to war and that\u2019s all we wanted to do, and that\u2019s the only way we ever thought we could solve problems. We didn\u2019t have any diplomats before Obama came along. We didn\u2019t have any good ones! We didn\u2019t have any real smart diplomacy. <\/p>\n

No, we just had a bunch of cowboys characterized by the last president before Obama, and that\u2019s Bush. Who once again here gets raked over the coals being ultimately responsible for all of this that Obama had to fix, from the economy, to health care, to immigration, to now Iranian nuclear weapons. Why, everybody had tried to fix it, but Bush made the biggest mess of anybody, and it took the unique intelligence and skills of Barack Hussein Obama to supposedly fix all of this. <\/p>\n

“Oh, yeah, the American mind-set before Obama got here? Yeah, we don\u2019t like somebody? Go kill \u2019em! We don\u2019t like somebody? Go to war with them!” Build a consensus? What did Bush do before we get into Iraq? He spent almost two years building a consensus. It\u2019s so frustrating to have to sit here and constantly defend against these lies, and it feels like spitting against the wind anyway. Here\u2019s the next bite…<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Unfortunately, we\u2019re living through a time in American politics where every foreign policy decision is viewed through a partisan prism, evaluated by headline-grabbing sound bites. And so, before the ink was even dry on this deal (snickers) — before Congress even read it — a majority of Republicans declared their virulent opposition.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (chuckles) This from a man who gives us a health care bill that nobody was allowed to see until it was passed. This is the guy who gave us a Transpacific Trade Deal that nobody was allowed to see before they voted on it, unless they went to a secret room in the basement of the Capitol. They were not allowed to take any notes out of the room, they were not allowed to talk about it, they were not allowed to share any information about it. <\/p>\n

This is a guy talking about making “virulent opposition” decisions before they\u2019ve even seen it? That\u2019s how 90% of what Obama\u2019s done has gotten done. Nobody\u2019s been able to see it before it became ratified, passed, or had his signature on it. You talk about the pot calling the kettle black, with this comment that everything in this country is “viewed through a prison of partnership” and he is an angel of nonpartisanship and total objectivity?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no ideology driving Obama?<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not a partisan in any way?<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s just trying to do the best for everybody! He\u2019s trying to save the climate. He\u2019s trying to save lions. He\u2019s trying to save innocent women. There\u2019s no ideology!” It\u2019s just insulting. But again, it\u2019s spitting against the wind, because one thing we\u2019ve learned over 6-1\/2, seven years, that you can\u2019t square people with this. I mean, if they have fallen into Obama idolatry, that\u2019s it. No matter what facts you have, no matter what emotion you have — if you\u2019re even able to reach \u2019em emotionally — you\u2019re not gonna be able to persuade them that Obama is who he is. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the next bite, second-to-last…<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Without this deal, the scenarios that critics warn about happening in 15 years could happen six months from now! By killing this deal, Congress would not merely pave Iran\u2019s pathway to a bomb, it would accelerate it!<\/p>\n

RUSH: See how that works? See, with the deal, they don\u2019t ever get a nuclear weapon. If we get this thing signed, Congress approves it, they never get a nuclear weapon. But if we don\u2019t sign it, they\u2019re gonna have one in six months? Wait, now, just a minute. What\u2019s all this talk about they\u2019re a year or two away? They\u2019re gonna have one in six months if we don\u2019t do this? If they\u2019re only six months away, there\u2019s nothing that\u2019s gonna stop them from getting one, deal or not. <\/p>\n

This is… Just to show you how mindless this is, here he is praising his diplomacy and criticizing all these previous presidents who\u2019ve gone to war. What are we doing in Syria? What are we doing with ISIS? Is his diplomacy solving a great problem there or we at war? Who is it that ramped up troop levels in Afghanistan? Who extended the war in Afghanistan? Who is it that hasn\u2019t closed Club Gitmo, despite promises? This is the Limbaugh Theorem on display. <\/p>\n

This is how Obama runs around and forever shields himself from accountability for everything that he\u2019s done. Just go out, A, and lie about what he\u2019s done — lie about what his opponents have said — and then the things that he\u2019s made happen, the things that he has caused always end up being blamed on other because Obama promises he\u2019s gonna continue “fighting” to try to fix the things that he\u2019s actually made happen. And here\u2019s the final sound bite in the mix…<\/line><\/p>\n

OBAMA: Just because Iranian hardliners chant “Death to America!” does not mean that that\u2019s what all Iranians believe. In fact, it\u2019s those — (applause) — in fact, it\u2019s those hardliners who are most comfortable with the status quo. It\u2019s those hardliners chanting “Death to America!” who\u2019ve been most opposed to the deal. They\u2019re making common cause with the Republican caucus. (laughter).<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well. Now, wait a second. You know what, folks, that\u2019s more outrageous than anything Donald Trump\u2019s ever said. You know, I have a theory about this, because what did he just say? He\u2019s saying these “Death to America!” hardliners in Iran are making common cause with the Republican caucus because the hardliners “Death to America!” who happen to include the Ayatollah Khamenei. Who is it that\u2019s leading those chants, standing next to his Kalashnikov? It\u2019s the Ayatollah Khamenei. <\/p>\n

Who is it that\u2019s just written a book about how to outwit the US and destroy Israel? It\u2019s the Ayatollah Khamenei, the guy Obama made the deal with. Who is the guy leading the chants “Death to America! Death to America!”? It\u2019s the Ayatollah Khamenei, the guy Obama made the deal with. But Obama says no, it\u2019s just a bunch of hardliners, and they don\u2019t want the deal, just like the Republicans. They\u2019re making common cause with the Republicans. <\/p>\n

You know what? I\u2019m gonna raise my hand and say I may be responsible for him saying that. And when I tell you why, Mr. Snerdley, you may agree with me. Who is it, I ask, who has a continually pointed out that you can\u2019t tell the difference between Mahmoud Ahmadinejad criticizing America and the Democrat Party? Me. Who is it that routinely during the 2012 campaign made the observation that whenever I hear an enemy of America criticize this country, it sounds just like your average day Democrat. Me, your beloved host El Rushbo. It\u2019s now I think established that has really ticked them off. I think it has really, really ticked \u2019em off, and this is payback. The hardliners in Iran who don\u2019t want the deal, “Death to America!” are making Common Cause with the Republican caucus. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So let\u2019s take some of these things that Obama said. This is fun. He spent almost an hour on this sales pitch, and who do you think it was aimed at? It was aimed at Democrats in his party. It\u2019s Democrats in his party that he\u2019s losing on this Iranian deal. That\u2019s why all this partisanship about the Republicans and that\u2019s why (imitating Obama), “Well, ‘Death to America! Death to America!\u2019, that\u2019s just common cause with the Republican caucus.” <\/p>\n

This guy, I\u2019m telling you, he\u2019s the perfect liberal. He\u2019ll never be happy no matter what all he gets. If he gets everything he wants, his legacy, he\u2019s never gonna be happy. He\u2019s gonna be constantly angry and ticked off just like every other liberal you\u2019ve ever met is. They\u2019re never happy, no matter what they get. They\u2019re always enraged. They\u2019re always angry. You know why? Because there\u2019s always disagreement, and that they can\u2019t abide. They just can\u2019t stand the fact that not everybody sees their brilliance and agrees with them. And when there is disagreement and opposition they\u2019re ticked off no matter what they get. They get some satisfaction over winning, but it doesn\u2019t last long. <\/p>\n

Do you remember, some of you might remember, because Obama, this is a threat: “If Congress doesn\u2019t sign my arrangement, Iran might get the bomb in six months.” If they get the bomb in six months it\u2019s because he\u2019s paid for it. He has enabled them to continue buying and building centrifuges and using them. If they\u2019re six months away from getting a bomb, it\u2019s because we\u2019ve made it possible, because this government\u2019s made it possible. Because this government believes that they can turn anybody into a good guy with the power of Obama\u2019s speeches, words, and diplomacy. <\/p>\n

But this is a threat, “If Congress doesn\u2019t sign my arrangement, Iran gets the bomb in six months.” That\u2019s not salesmanship. Did you ever read, Mr. Snerdley, National Lampoon, the magazine? They did some great things. Remember the Ted Kennedy Volkswagen ad? They had a Volkswagen floating. If Ted Kennedy had owned one of these he\u2019d be president of the United States because it was floating, rather than his Oldsmobile with Mary Jo Kopechne which sank. <\/line><\/p>\n

Well, they did something else, too. They had a magazine cover one issue, I don\u2019t remember the year, on the cover was a dog looking sideways at a gun pointed at its head, and the caption on the cover of National Lampoon was, “If you don\u2019t buy this magazine, we will kill this dog.” Everybody knew it was a joke \u2019cause it\u2019s National Lampoon, but here comes Obama: “If you don\u2019t sign my arrangement, the Iranians get a bomb in six months.” And then this business about just because the Iranians chant “Death to America!” doesn\u2019t mean that\u2019s what most Iranians — did you hear that room erupt in applause? (imitating Obama) “Hey, you know what, just because there\u2019s a bunch of people over there saying ‘Death to America,\u2019 that doesn\u2019t mean –” Applause for this? <\/p>\n

Whoever this audience was today, there is total, utter denial about who our enemies are. That room, Obama and his audience, their enemies are us, folks. The Republicans, conservatives, that\u2019s who they consider to be their enemies, not the Iranians. But the problem with that is that\u2019s what the leaders of Iran believe, not the rank-and-file population. It\u2019s the leaders of that damn country that believe it. They\u2019re the ones saying it as I just brilliantly pointed out. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the Ayatollah Khamenei who\u2019s leading these chants of “Death to America! Death to America!” He has written a book on how to outwit America and wipe out Israel. “Death to America!” is what the leadership of the country believed. The rank-and-file population in Iran doesn\u2019t matter. They live in a dictatorship. They live in tyranny. It doesn\u2019t matter what they say. What they say in public is programmed anyway. <\/p>\n

This arrangement — can I be blunt? Obama\u2019s blunt; let me be blunt. This arrangement with Iran, let me tell you what this is. It is an arrangement with a lawless, raging anti-Semitic terror state who will become wealthy enough and deadly enough to take over the entire Middle East, threatening to use their nuclear bomb, just like Obama just did. “If Congress doesn\u2019t sign my arrangement, Iran gets the bomb this six months.” That\u2019s a threat. And we are going to enable the Iranians to threaten that whole region and back it up, because we are going to make possible their ability to ratchet up to nuclear weaponry. <\/p>\n

And all of this, this speech, this sales pitch. You\u2019re not gonna see this written anywhere. Well, you will depending on where you look, but you\u2019re not gonna see it in the Drive-By Media. But this whole appearance of Obama\u2019s today was aimed at Democrat votes, not Republicans. He was bullying Democrats for votes today. That\u2019s why he\u2019s blasting Bush, claiming that Iraq somehow — what does Iraq have to do this? What in the world does the Iraq war have to do with this thing in Iran anyway? That\u2019s nothing more than trying to raise the blood pressure of Democrats to get them on his side. It\u2019s Democrat red meat. And it was Hillary and Kerry, Biden, they all voted to use force in Iraq anyway back in 2002. It\u2019s a straw dog.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

\"large\"RUSH: Okay, so Obama\u2019s threatening us now if we don\u2019t sign or agree to his agreement with the Iranians and they\u2019re gonna get a nuke in six months, right? What happened to the Ayatollah Khamenei\u2019s fatwa? It was not long ago that President Obama himself, his own self said that we had nothing to worry about here anyway because the Ayatollah Khamenei had issued a fatwa saying there would never be a nuclear power possessed by Iran. You remember that?<\/line><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t remember that, don\u2019t doubt me. <\/p>\n

He said it. <\/p>\n

What happened? The ayatollah… (interruption) Now, now, wait. Nobody\u2019s been able to find the fatwa. I know, it\u2019s a strange word, isn\u2019t it? But we\u2019re not to laugh at other cultures here, Mr. Snerdley. Rein it in in there. The ayatollah has said that there\u2019s a fatwa against nuclear weapons in Iran. You know, when the cleric says it\u2019s a fatwa, it\u2019s not gonna happen. And all kinds of scholars have searched wherever you search for ayatollah scholarship, they can\u2019t find the fatwa. <\/p>\n

But Obama quoted it. It was not three weeks ago, Obama told us that the ayatollah\u2019s fatwa against nuclear weapons was all we had to realize here. It\u2019s not a problem. Now he\u2019s saying threatening it in six months if we don\u2019t sign his arrangement, that they\u2019re gonna have a nuclear bomb? And the next thing. This business of bringing up Iraq, this stuff really, really, folks, it steams me like you can\u2019t believe. <\/p>\n

Because this is history revision. It\u2019s what we always get from these people, just abject out-and-out lies. The fact of the matter is that Barack Hussein Obama inherited a stable Iraq. Do you remember the arguments that we had over the status agreements regarding American troops that remained there to help keep the peace? Obama could not… Here\u2019s the bottom line. For the exact reason he used today, Obama could not permit there to be a public concession, assumption that the Iraq war had been a success. <\/p>\n

He constantly needs the Iraq war to go back to, because it\u2019s like throwing red meat to a lion, it\u2019s like throwing red meat to these Democrats, and he needs it to rev them up. The Iraq war and George Bush is like showing them the cross. They go batty. They go absolutely nuts. And when Obama needs to rally \u2019em, George W. Bush and the Iraq war are two of the primary tools at his disposal. Therefore, the Iraq war was never ever gonna end well as long as Obama had anything to say about it. <\/p>\n

And he had a lot to say about it because he inherited a stable Iraq. He inherited an Iraq that had elections. I mean, it wasn\u2019t a panacea, but he did not do anything to hold onto that stability. And that\u2019s why we\u2019ve got ISIS. And that\u2019s why we have a civil war in Syria, and that\u2019s why Al-Qaeda is back at full strength and more. It\u2019s not \u2019cause of Abu Ghraib pictures. It\u2019s not because of Club Gitmo. <\/p>\n

\"large\"It\u2019s because of Obama and his partisan politics and his prism through which he looks at everything of partisan politics. He needs the Iraq war as a constant reminder to his Democrats of a total, giant American screw up that he can always lay at the blame of the Republicans. But just ask yourself: What does the Iraq war have to do with this deal with Iran? Absolutely nothing, except he\u2019s running short of Democrat votes to authorize this arrangement. <\/line><\/p>\n

All right, let me head back to the phones. I intended to get there before I got these audio sound bites from Obama. It just ticks me off here. I mean, one lie after another, this continued public distortion of reality, and they get away with it. Clinton gets away with it. He gets away with it; they just get away with it. The low-information voters, the great unwashed, are a political force all too powerful in this country. <\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Amir in Pittsburgh. It\u2019s great to have you on the program, Amir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, longtime listener, longtime caller actually, first time getting through though.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, welcome.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you. It\u2019s not easy. I wanted to make two observations based on what President Obama and Secretary Kerry, what they\u2019ve been doing the past few months. I am an American Jew, proud American Jew. My father was actually born in Iran. He managed to escape and make his way to Israel, eventually meeting my mother in Israel and then coming back to America, where I was born. So obviously I have a little bit at stake here, you know, with these matters. <\/p>\n

The first thing I wanted to quote for you was an interview that Secretary Kerry had with Jeffrey Goldberg. I don\u2019t know if you read it. He said — and I\u2019m quoting from the article — that Iran really wants to annihilate Israel. He doubts that Iran really wants to annihilate Israel. Instead he thinks that Tehran has a fundamental ideological confrontation, but it has not implemented active steps to wipe it off the map. So when I heard that statement, I took severe offense to that based on, obviously these wars that Israel has endured over the past few years with Hamas and Hezbollah —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, that statement\u2019s idiotic. That is just absolutely idiotic, for John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, to say that it\u2019s just words? Who is paying for the rockets that are being launched at Tel Aviv in Jerusalem?<\/p>\n

You know, he outlines a whole theory as to why they want to wipe Israel off the map —<\/line><\/p>\n
