BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: So Barack Hussein O said in Japan this morning that Trump rattles foreign leaders. You know why Trump rattles foreign leaders? Obama says it's because they're afraid Trump's policies might not be thought through.
Now, can anyone come up with a single policy of Obama's, foreign policy specifically here, that seems to have been thought through? The Arab Spring, what we did in Egypt getting rid of Mubarak, putting in the Muslim Brotherhood, which didn't last, the Arab Spring that sprung from it. And then we go and we oust Khadafy from Libya. Hillary out there taking credit for that.
We basically set the Middle East on fire. We have a president who has eagerly and publicly abandoned and subverted the Constitution to permit unimpeded, illegal immigration. I take it back. That was thought through. Yes, yes, yes, yes. In fact, you know, you could argue that all of these things Obama's done have been thought through.
The Iran deal, the Iran nuclear deal was thought through. We actually did want the Iranians to come up with nuclear weapons. Who are we to tell them they can't have nuclear weapons? All these presidents in the past telling Iran no way, Jose, so who are we? So Obama's fixed it, Iran can have nukes.
So in one sense you could argue that every freaking Obama policy has been thought through. And what's it gotten us? Well thought out, thought through foreign policy, domestic policy's created havoc. But let's change the perspective. Let's give Obama the benefit of the doubt for this. Let's say that he came up with all these ideas, really thought it would make America better, really thought it would improve life in America.
How could anybody say that those policies were thought through? Because none of that happened. You look at Obama's policies, foreign or domestic, I don't know where you see the benefit to the US. Trend that, Facebook. I don't know where you see the benefit. Not even gay marriage. He wasn't even originally on board for gay marriage, and neither was Hillary. So you can't even let him have that.
But, I mean, if you think some Americans have been satisfied or pleased, but what would you pick, what policy, what achievement of Obama's would you point to that has made America a better place, that's made America stronger? What Obama policy would you point to that has the American people cheering and feeling good about their country? Can you name one? There may be, I'm forgetting. Can you name one?
In fact, isn't the mind-set of the left such that, when Obama accomplishes things, if it makes conservatives and Republicans mad, that's what makes it a success? And if it punishes America and punishes certain Americans, isn't that what makes the left happy? Isn't that what they consider to be a success, things that cut America down to size, things that punish America, things that rein America in from our excessive superpower ways, things that cut America down to size, things that punish individual American achievers. Those are the things Obama does that his supporters applaud.
But I doubt that anybody could say that Obama's achievements have made American great. (interruption) Oh, come on. Who in the world, who in their right mind, the Cuban embargo hasn't been lifted, number one. Who in their right mind would say that Obama's open-door policy with Cuba has in any way enhanced America? Oh, screw them. They're not journalists. They're Democrat hacks disguised as journalists. They're Democrat operatives.
I'm being serious about this. You can't honestly throw Cuba in there as something that -- American people are not cheering that. Now, if Obama would have thrown cigars in the deal it might have gotten some cheers. But it isn't gonna happen. I'm being facetious. Point is -- I'm serious. How many people cheered health care versus how many are still cheering it. There may have been some who thought it was free, thought it was gonna be panacea. My point is there's Obama out there saying all these world leaders are very, very worried, they're very, very rattled over Trump's policies, don't seem to be well thought through.
Well, where the hell are we with Obama anyway? Who's out there celebrating? What in the world has happened to improve America's lot, America's position in the world? Are we now less involved? Are we now more vulnerable? You can go through the list if you wanted to. But, on the contrary, I actually think that it's about time foreign leaders are a little rattled and maybe a little unsure what we might do, because I guarantee you under Obama and the United Nations we are seen as a blank check.
We are seen as led by a guy who believes in America's guilt and responsibility and a willingness to pay for it. We're a blank check. And, if we're not a blank check, we are a robbery victim. We are rest of the world that feels like their lot in life is because of us, we owe them, and we've got a president who happens to agree in many ways with that line of thinking.
Now, Mrs. Clinton, let's talk about her policies and whether or not world leaders might be rattled, because I would think that the prospect of a Hillary presidency would rattle world leaders even more. I mean, they've seen her in action. They've seen what an unmitigated disaster -- actually, take it back. What am I saying? They've already bought her. I'm sorry. They don't care whether she's a rattled -- They've bought her presidency, hundred million. Yeah, and if they haven't yet bought her presidency, they know they can, they know it's gonna be for sale.
This stuff at the State Department is even worse. You know, yesterday I made a point on this program, the State Department inspector general was running around saying she broke the rules. She didn't break the rules; she broke the law. From where are these rules about emails and servers and public records and all this, where do those rules come from? Those rules come from the law.
They were trying to sugarcoat this and soften the blow by saying, "Well, Colin Powell, he did the same stuff, and Condoleezza Rice, she had her own server, too." Yeah, but they're not running for president right now, and they -- break the rules was also supposed to soften the blow. She didn't break the rules. She violated the law. That's where the rules come from. I pointed this out yesterday. Now Huma Abedin, I'm sorry, Huma Danger and a lot of these people refused to testify, and that's only to be interpreted one way as taking the Fifth Amendment.
