Well, hubbahubba!
The Coretta Scott King funeral has just gone well stone, ladies and gentlemen.
Greetings and welcome back, the EIB network.
The award-winning thrill-packed, ever exciting Rush Limbaugh program, program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations on a daily basis.
We already had our broke back mountain moment when President Bush hugged Bishop Eddie and gave him a peck on the cheek, and now it has gone well stone.
The uh Reverend Joseph Lowry.
Is he a Reverend?
Yeah, the guy is.
A Reverend Joseph Lowry just in his uh in his uh uh eulogy, uh, had to mention the fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction.
That, by the way, is a new addition of the program, ladies and gentlemen.
The bell, uh based on we just had this new republic story.
Uh guy went out, uh, sat amongst his friends, well, he never met them, but his his uh compatriots, liberals, in a in a room of a hundred of them where he watched the State of the Union address.
Somebody rang a bell every time weapons of mass destruction was mentioned.
Uh freedom was mentioned, security was mentioned.
Anytime those that there were there were the buzzwords, and and the and the bell would ring and the crowd would start abusing and deriding and hooting and hollering, Bush and insulting and laughing and so forth and so on.
So I figured if that's if that's the cue that uh is is used at these uh liberal parties, uh might as well incorporate it here because we want liberals listening to the program, but we want to we want to provide uh uh comfortable uh surroundings for the liberals when they do.
Listen to this program.
So Lowry stands up and he starts talking about the fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction.
But there are weapons of misdirection in the country, and all the people that don't have health care and all the people that don't when he finished, George Bush 41, was the first out of his chair to give the man a big hug.
Uh but there was now the whole thing hasn't gone well stone.
I it was a well stone moment.
Uh uh the Wellstone Memorial.
Uh and and I I just uh we haven't even gotten to Slick Willie yet.
We haven't gotten the slick Willie, we haven't gotten to Hillary.
Is Hillary gonna speak?
I thought Hillary is gonna Hillary's gonna speak, but Laura Bush isn't gonna speak.
Is Laura Bush gonna be?
I I we'll uh we'll just have to wait and see.
Uh on uh uh what was that?
Oh, uh oh, okay, okay.
Uh Dawn said that she was able to read lips, and she said that when Bush embraced Lowry after his uh weapons of mass destruction comment.
This could get out of hand.
You know, I mean, when when when Lowry mentioned that, uh, and and then the speech was over, and he went over and then Bush hugged him.
Uh Dawn says that what Bush 41 says, don't sweat it.
We're gonna wiretap you later.
I hope Hillary does speak.
And I I hope that Hillary does mention the uh the uh plantation.
Hope she has the uh the uh uh guts to uh to do it.
All right, you've we haven't talked about this because frankly it's a it's it's it's predictable and it's it's not that big a deal.
Bush has presented his new budget, 2.7 trillion to 2.77 trillion.
It's a growth rate of like two and a half, three percent, and the liberals are out there, it's cutting this, and it's cutting that, and oh, woe is us, it's full of cuts, and of course the budget is getting bigger than it's ever been.
AP's version of the story, uh President Bush, constrained by wars, hurricanes, and exploding budget deficits, has sent Congress a 2007 spending plan that's garnering howls of pain from farmers, teachers, doctors, and a wide array of other groups with special interests.
Democrats, as expected, pronounced the Republican President's budget dead on arrival.
That's been going on since the days of Reagan.
But many Republicans were equally sharp in their reservations about the 2.77 trillion dollar spending blueprint that the administration unveiled on Monday.
Senator Spector called Bush's proposed cuts in education and health scandalous.
Cuts in education.
I have to laugh.
Good lord, if there were just really be some day.
Senator Olympia Snow, Republican Maine, said she was disappointed and even surprised at the extent of the administration's proposed cuts in Medicaid and Medicare.
Something I saw in this, the proposed cuts in Medicaid and Medicare are minuscule.
They don't even come close to reaching the annual fraud figure in Medicare.
Given the level of congressional frustration, administration witnesses led by Treasury Secretary John Snow were expected to face a tough sales job before various congressional committees today.
Nine cabinet agencies would see outright reductions with the biggest percentage cuts occurring in the departments of transportation, justice, and agriculture.
And in the mandatory programs, so-called because the government must provide benefits to all who qualify the president seeking over the next five years.
Savings of $36 billion in Medicare, $5 billion in farm subsidy programs, $4.9 billion in Medicaid support for poor children's health care, and $16.7 billion in additional payments from companies to shore up the government's besieged pension benefit agency.
Senator Clinton said Bush's budget was sending a clear message that the most important thing to this administration are tax cuts being made permanent for the wealthiest of Americans like my husband.
They never miss well, she didn't say it, but she's thinking he would have said it.
You know, do any of you remember back during the uh early days of the current Iraq war?
The Democrats back then were calling for national sacrifice.
They were saying, how can you fight a war without tax increases?
Why it's never been done before.
Tax increase any excuse to raise your taxes.
It's probably the one reason they supported the war because they thought they'd get tax increases as a result.
All right, so you have all these Democrats in the early days of the Iraq War demanding sacrifice.
Why would we're all going to be sending our sons and daughters over to face enemy bullets and mortar fire?
We must all sacrifice.
The word just kept being bounced around all over the place.
Well, you know, I would I would like to take the occasion of this budget with an increase overall of about 3%.
And I would suggest to the Liberals, maybe it's time, and and in fact, I'd like to suggest to every member of Congress and the Senate, and to those of you who think you're owed a living on the backs of your fellow citizens.
I would like to ask you to sacrifice.
It's time now to sacrifice.
It really is.
Why?
We have horrible budget deficits.
We've got riots in the streets.
We've got calamity all over.
We've got global warming.
We've got, I mean, it's such a mess out there, most people don't even realize why they want to wake up when they do.
Most people think it's just so bad out there, this country sucks so bad.
It's just, I don't even know why I want to live.
Must be something programmed into me by Gaia.
Well, at any rate, it's time to sacrifice.
Ladies and gentlemen, we almost pull together and sacrifice as we increase the budget by 3% to 2.77 trillion dollars.
If we're supposed to sacrifice during a war, then let's sacrifice when the budget goes up.
The budget has not been cut.
I know it may sound convoluted to the educated and informed out there, but believe me, there are plenty others to whom an increased budget represents disaster.
And total calamity.
Most of them reside on the left, but there are some Republicans as well.
All right, let's see.
We've got a little office pool going on here, folks, and I wanted to share it with you regarding the funeral.
First, we got office.
Well, when's it going to end?
The um the other things that we're looking at.
Who's in the House?
You've got Bill Clinton.
You've got the uh Reverend Zax.
Hmm.
and you have Teddy Kennedy.
And those are just the known culprits.
I'm sure that there are others who fit the mold.
They're all in the house.
So here's the little office pool we have going here.
You might want to have your own version of this in your office or your home today.
The end of the funeral, when it's all over, how many women will be picked up?
The next question we're asking ourselves, how many babies will be born nine months from today?
I mean, look who's you got Bill Clinton in there, you got Jesse Jackson and Teddy Kennedy.
And the next question we're asking, um a car uh fail to negotiate a bridge somewhere in Georgia late tonight.
And if so, who will have been driving?
Well, there you go again.
See, now no matter who they bring up there, you're looking at a relic.
And now it's uh Jimmy Carter at the um at the pulpit uh in the church for the funeral of Coretta Scott King.
And we did find out Saint Hillary is speaking.
Who's she following?
Did you say Bush 41?
Oh.
Oh, okay, okay.
Billy Who.
Oh, oh, she's gonna she's going to follow Bill.
So, oh, so we get a Clinton double dose.
We get a Clinton dosy dough.
Yeah, we got Bill and St. Hillary back to back.
It's probably better than front to front.
I would not want to see either.
I told you uh moments ago, ladies and gentlemen, that uh it it had a brief well stone moment here.
It was when Joseph Lowry, the Reverend Joseph Lowry, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, said this.
We know now there were no weapons of mass destruction over that.
But Coretta knew and we knew that there are weapons of misdirection right down here.
Millions without health insurance.
Poverty abounds.
For war billions more, but no more for the poor.
You know, all my my whole career I have been refuting this this assertion that we don't spend enough money on the poor and all this money.
Do you realize, folks, what the social safety net budget is compared to the military budget?
It's not even close.
And you when you factor that education spending is part of this, when you factor uh you don't even have to put social security in it.
Just the war on poverty and the great society programs alone have have transferred over seven trillion dollars to one group of Americans to another, and still the same statistics, still the same percentages, still the same this or that.
And one of the things that you you can't escape noticing is that the education in certain poor areas of the country is not improving.
Schools are not improving.
Liberals will not let you improve the schools or the educational opportunities for poor people because they want to maintain their teachers' union status quo.
It's all it's all uh it's all bogus.
And it is his eye, what Ray Nagan has a good idea?
What is it?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Really?
When did he say that?
I school bus Negan, wait till you hear this.
The official program observer has just informed me that school bus Negan, Ray Negan, the mayor of uh New Orleans has announced that he's gonna go to foreign countries to get aid for New Orleans.
Why?
Because there isn't enough coming in?
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
I'll tell let me tell you something.
Now that I think about it, that is a brilliant idea.
That is a fabulous idea.
Go to some other country's people and get them to pay for what you want.
We've tapped out.
I may have to change my perspective of school bus Negan on this.
I hope the first guy he calls is Hugo Chavez.
Maybe a little help with some oil and gasoline.
All right, on Saturday, this past Saturday, the Philadelphia Inquirer became one of the first major U.S. newspapers to carry a drawing featuring Muhammad with a lit bomb stuck in his turban and have sparked riots abroad.
On Monday, yesterday, more than two dozen Muslims offended by that decision, picketed the newspaper.
It's disrespectful to us as a people, said Asim Abdur Rashid and Imam with the umbrella group for mosques in the Delaware Valley.
It's disrespectful to our prophet to imply that he's a prophet of violence.
So the question now that I have, so uh what is it, two dozen people show up and protest the Philadelphia inquirer.
I wonder if this protest will get the same kind of momentum in this country as it has gotten in Denmark.
And it's an interesting question because there are some legitimate theories that the momentum around the world on this is totally trumped up, that has been planned, orchestrated, and executed.
So we will see if there is a a genuine momentum bill for protesting, if other newspapers publish it.
Oh no.
Oh no, are they applauding that?
Jimmy Carter brought up secret government wiretapping on other surveillance, another well stoned moment taking place right before our eyes.
I'm not gonna bore you by cutting in.
I can do better running commentary of what Carter says than him actually saying it.
Now you gotta keep in mind, President Bush is sitting right behind him when he says this.
And when Joseph Lowry talked about no weapons of mass destruction, President Bush was sitting right behind him when he said it.
So these guys uh No, Jimmy didn't have enough gust to talk about was the Kennedys that surveilled Martin Luther King.
Jimmy didn't have the guts to point that out.
He didn't have the guts to point out who's actually done what they were trying to accuse George Bush of uh of doing.
Here's Patrick in Richmond, Virginia.
Patrick, welcome to the program.
Nice to have you with us.
Thank you, Russian.
Thank you so much for being a beacon of hope during these troubled economic times that we have.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Yes.
Just a couple, a couple things.
One is the original broke back, you're not giving enough credit.
The original broke pack is puff diddy.
You know what a puff means in for slang in in London, don't you?
I I I must confess that I do not.
It's it's it's a broke back.
It's a broke back cowboy, and puff means to be uh of that nature.
You'd be a puff.
I don't know.
I just know that everybody gets it in the end in that movie.
And and secondly, um thing that I wanted to point out, and the purpose of my call is I wish people would read the Fourth Amendment when it comes to this NSA, quote wiretapping.
Let's get around the semantics.
It's not wiretapping.
Okay, that's a physical wiretap on somebody's phone.
I know we've been we you know you're right, and I've been over this countless times because there's a contemptible lie going on, and that is that the the media joining forces of the Democrats is trying to portray this program as something that it's not.
Right.
They want people to think that the government is surveilling you to sting you to find you in the act of committing a crime and then nail you for it.
And that's not what this is foreign intelligence.
Yes, exactly.
And beyond that, what is the Fourth Amendment say?
It says reasonable search.
And I think it would be entirely reasonable.
If I were calling somebody in Baghdad, it would be entirely reasonable for them to listen to my phone call.
It's less evasive than it is what happens when I go to the airport and they strip search me practically.
Yeah, but this is not even see here's here's here's where this is so offbeat.
These are not even searches.
This is data mining.
Richard Posner, who was a uh uh I think an appellate court judge wrote an opinion piece in and it was in the New York Times, in which he said data mining, just going through raw computer uh data, which is what the program does.
A computer does this first.
Computer matches keywords with phone numbers and so forth based on suspicions, based on some evidence that it needs to be monitored.
And and then human beings take what the computers Narrowed down.
A computer is not is not something that uh uh computer data mining, computers doing the work that they do, could not be considered the same thing as jack booted thugs opening your first class or book rate mail, reading your emails, or monitoring your telephone calls.
It's it's you're you're exactly right, you're dead on right about this, but that's not the action line of the story.
The whole story is a trumped-up falsehood, and that's what's being amplified and uh carried forward.
I appreciate the call, Patrick.
Thanks uh so much for your nice words.
We'll be back and continue in just a moment.
All right, Drudge has just posted this.
Iranian President Mahmood Ahmadinejad has accepted an invitation to visit Cuba in gratitude for Castro's support of Iran's nuclear program.
This is the official Grand Mon newspaper reported too.
That's the official Cuban newspaper.
Um so Castro has invited uh old Mahmood to visit Cuba in gratitude for uh Castro's support of Iran's nuclear.
Well, he's accepted the invitation in gratitude because Castro supports the nuclear program of the uh of the Iranians.
All right, President Bush 41 is now speaking at the Coretta Scott King funeral.
And we were just discussing among ourselves here.
You remember the uh portrait unveiling, the Bill and Hillary Clinton portrait unveiling at the White House, and how civil and uh respectful President Bush was to both of them.
As he I mean, praised them to the Hilts uh individually.
Uh and and it was just a totally uh civil ceremony.
You contrast it with these people, from Joseph Lowry to Jimmy Carter, to uh even my Angelou here to get some digs in, with Bush sitting right there, but they don't have the guts to turn around and look him in the face when they say this.
Uh you contrast that with a lack of civility when the Dibbs Democrats get involved, and it's just striking.
Uh they're so enraged that they don't even know the meaning of uh of civility.
Rich Sierra Vista, Arizona, welcome to the program, sir.
Great to have you with us.
Okay, Rush Ditto's from the desert.
Thank you.
Hey, um I heard you at the bottom of the last hour and just a few minutes ago uh talking about the president of Iran and all.
Um thought that you know, y I think you're preaching to the Cryp the prior uh you know what I mean, the choir, brother.
And uh I thought that maybe uh you you your your comments would be better directed at the president of Iran himself.
As a matter of fact, his uh on his website uh has his email address if you'd like to give him a call and uh let him know exactly what you think about some of the things that he's doing in the world today.
Anyone can email uh Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on his website?
Well cool.
It's a Now do you d you think you think President Mahmood is actually gonna be the one to read them?
Oh, I don't know.
I've I've uh emailed it myself.
I haven't gotten a response back.
What did you say?
What did you say in your email to Mahmood?
I was a little bit concerned about uh where he's going with all these nuclear things that he's coming up with, and what does he hope to accomplish by uh agitating us like this, but uh haven't got a response back yet, but I'm hoping.
Well, uh it would be interesting to see if you do uh uh I can sort of predict what it's gonna be.
Uh he's gonna tell you that your country is an imperialist nation trying to deny a peace-loving nation like Iran, which is a beacon for civil rights and human rights, uh an opportunity to defend itself against madmen like George W. Bush who believes in the Holocaust, which didn't happen.
Uh but say he'll say something.
Well, no.
Uh oh.
Ho, ho.
That's I just I noticed that.
So anyway, that's that's what's going to happen, Mike.
But uh let us know if you um if if you hear the uh if you if you hear here back.
I'm I'm kind of stuttering here, folks, because I'm looking at something I haven't seen.
Uh I don't know how long.
Bill and Hillary are at the pulpit side by side.
And she is looking so lovingly and respectfully at him that I don't believe it.
Now, the last time I saw him side by side was in that picture when they were on the beach dancing to no music, two weeks before the Monica Lewinsky story broke.
Um I I think she is gonna speak, so I wonder if they're gonna do this together.
We're not gonna jip it.
I'm not gonna go there.
I'm I'm not I'm not gonna jip it.
I understand I have empathy, and I know the last thing you want from this program.
You don't let's gip it.
All right.
Well, Jim just I don't want to gym.
This guy's never gonna stop.
But I do want to gib it to find out if I was right.
If he does, if he talks about himself, and if he says that he marched with Dr. King from afar in Hope, Arkansas.
Let's uh let's bring up the president for a little bit.
I'm gonna regret this.
i know i'm gonna regret this First black president at the Coretta Scott King Curry.
Complained that he was at a disadvantage because he was an episcopalian.
And then he came up here and zinged Joe Lowry like he did.
I thought that ain't bad for one of the frozen chosen.
he's got a pretty good job Frozen chosen?
We uh sperm terms of sperm bank.
Frozen chosen?
Let me say Clinton used to be a greeter in a sperm bank.
That's I know he was briefly, and then asked Hillary to join in these remarks.
I don't want us forget that there's a woman in there.
Not a symbol.
Not a not a symbol.
A real woman who lived and breathed and got angry and got hurt and had dreams and disappointments.
I hate to say this, folks, but it's what he said about that mummy.
I I don't want us to forget that.
I you know what I mean.
He said that about the mummy.
I wish I knew what her kids were thinking about now.
I wonder if they were singing about what I was thinking about at my mother's funeral.
It's about him.
Or when she told them Bible stories, or what she said to them when their daddy got killed.
We're here to honor a person.
Fifty-four years ago, her about to be husband said that he was looking for a woman with character, intelligence, personality, and beauty, and she sure fit the bill.
And I have to say, when she was over 75, I thought she still fit to bill pretty good with all those categories.
Said that about the mummy.
5,000-year-old, what was it?
But I think that's important.
As well as a symbol, as well as the embodiment of her husband's legacy.
And the developer of her own.
Second point I want to make is the most important day in her life for every one of us here at this moment in this church, except when she embraced her faith.
The next most important day was April the 5th, 1968.
The day after her husband was killed, she had to decide what am I gonna do with the rest of my life.
Even honored her if she said, I have stumbled on enough stony roads.
I have been beaten by enough bitter rods.
I haven't endured enough dangers, toils, and snares.
I'm going home and raise my kids.
I wish you all well.
None of us, nobody could have condemned that decision, but instead she went to Memphis, the scene of the worst nightmare of her life and led that march for those poor hard working garbage workers that her husband died.
Now they're they're called sanitation workers now.
because what really matters if you believe all this stuff we've been saying is what are we going to do with the rest of our lives.
Thank you.
Well, we know what you're doing with yours and what Jimmy Carter's doing with his.
Or Cheryl Gore is doing with his.
They know they got to carry the legacy of their father and their mother now.
We all clap for that.
They got to go home and live with it.
That's a terrible burden.
That is a terrible burden.
You should pray for them and support them and help them.
That is a burden to bear.
It's a lot harder to be them than it was for us to be us growing up.
Don't you think it wasn't?
It may have been a glory, it may have been wonderful, but it's not easy.
So what will happen to the legacy of Martin Luther King and Coretta King?
Will it continue to stand for peace and nonviolence and anti-poverty and civil rights and human rights?
What will be the meaning of the King holiday every year?
And even more important, Atlanta, what's your responsibility for the future of the King Senate?
What are you going to do to make sure if this thing goes off?
I think all right, that's it.
That's it.
We gotta go to commercial break.
I I think the period in the speech where it can be said that he's wandering in vain search for a coherent thought has been reached.
We will be back.
Stay with us.
All right, this is sort of funny.
In fact, I've I had a whole observation.
Bill and Hillary, and you'll you'll see this on TV tonight if you watch the news.
Bill and Hillary standing in a pulpit together.
And Bill's going on and on and on, and and and you know, Hillary starts out smiling and nodding uh approval, uh admiration, whatever.
And as Clinton went on and on and on and eventually started talking about himself, uh her that look on her face, the smile vanished and nodding stopped and was just sort of a are you through kind of look.
And at that point said, who advised her to go and stand up there like a sock puppet all that time while he's making a speech.
And I know why it is, is because they're presenting the idea, the notion, the picture that we have here loving couple happily uh living ever after, so forth and so on.
When Clinton finished, this was funny too.
When Clinton finished, he started to vacate the uh the pulpit area, and Hillary was having none of that.
If I had to stand here and act like a sock puppet when you were speaking, you're gonna act like a sock puppet when I'm speaking.
Besides, I am not letting you out of my sight.
I've seen all the women in this place tonight, they're 10,000 of them in here, and you probably got a phone number written down on the palm of your hand, and I'm not letting you give it to anybody.
That's how I interpret these things.
Uh Richland, uh, Washington, here's Mike.
Welcome to the program.
Hey, Mega Digital, uh Rush, long time listener, all the way back from your days in Sacramento, first time in caller, a little bit nervous.
Um, but uh uh courageous soul myself.
I'm wondering why with Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy and Jesse Jackson.
Even I listened to Carter make a racial dig with New Orleans against Bush.
Okay.
I'm sitting here asking myself, why in God's name did President Bush even show up there knowing that they're gonna rip on him, make him look bad.
And by the way, Bush 41 speech was short, eloquent, humorous, and really nice.
Okay, unlike uh Carter's, which threw digs with the New Orleans people.
Of course, we forgot about the Mississippi, the white people of Mississippi and Alabama coast.
Well, actually, you know something.
I I don't think it makes look Bush bad.
It makes Bush look bad.
I think it makes You don't.
No, I thought thank you.
You're bringing comfort to my soul.
No, it makes those people look bad.
That's what you really mean.
They're the ones that look petty.
They're the one that looked like they are absent any class.
The reason Bush went is because he's president of the United States.
He's gonna no brief for this woman against against Coretta Scott King.
He's he's uh probably invited to go.
He's the president.
He's classy gentleman.
He's a classy man.
That's why he's there.
He he didn't care what these people are saying about him, because he knows that they're the ones that look like they're just being very small and petty.
It's not affecting uh people's perception of him.
What he does will affect me.
maybe I'm too conservative and want to go on the offense and want to say things like if when Bush 41 was up there, why didn't he just say, hey, yeah, wiretapping, like uh too bad poor, you know, like you just said, you know, about with the Kennedy.
Not the place.
It's not the place to do it.
I I understand your frustration that it's not the place to do it.
That would be descending to their level.
That that would be to become them.
He's gonna be above it.
By the way, we have a soundbite here of um Joseph Lowry.
Well, actually, a Bush 41 zinging Joe Lowry back.
Now I've got the transcript of this, and I'm not sure I get the zing, but I'm gonna play it for you.
Have that standing by, uh, Mike.
Yeah.
All right.
You know, Lowry had gone up there and had ripped uh Bush 43 on weapons of mass destruction and all these lies that he'd been telling.
And uh and Bush 41, the father decided it to take a swipe at Joe Lowry, and here's what he said.
I would like to say something to my friend Joe Lowry.
Uh hey, look, they used to send this guy to Washington, and I kept score in the Oval Office desk.
Larry 21, Bush 3.
It wasn't a fair fight.
The advice of Joe.
The advice I'd give this guy is Maya has nothing to worry about.
Don't give up your day job.
Keep preaching.
All right, so I guess that's the zing.
The zing is Maya's got nothing to worry about.
Don't give up your day job.
I guess he's that's his because Clinton referred to the zinger that uh uh Bush threw at Joseph Lowry.
So because they delivered most of Lowry was mostly poet poetry.
Oh, that's what it was.
I see.
Okay Oh, oh, and Maya Angelou is the poet.
So okay, so Bush 41 was saying, you're no poet, stick to preaching.
Maya's got it all over you.
All right, all right.
I understand it.
That's good.
Tim in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Welcome, sir.
Nice to have you with us.
Thank you very much.
Uh African American Ditto from Greensboro.
I just wanted to say that uh it seemed like I caught Bush's speech, and it seemed like he had a very classy, very dignified.
Him and his father had very good words to say and brought class to the situation about Coretta Scott King and some of these other folks are using the podium and the grandstand as a political platform.
Uh exactly right, and they're making themselves look tiny and small in the uh in the process.
Well, I'm glad you're I'm glad that you have that uh outlook on it, Tim.
I I appreciate your uh your call.
Thank you very much.
But I can't let the program end today without mentioning the story that Drudge was uh headlining all over the place last night and today.
Scientists hail discovery of hundreds of new species in remote New Guinea.
You seen the story?
N birds that we didn't know existed, mammals that we didn't know existed, plants and trees that we didn't know existed.
Hundreds of thousands of new species in this mountaintop jungle.
You can only reach it by helicopter in New Guinea.
And this is i i it I've I've told you all the time that I've hosted this show.
We know so little about this planet.
And we are fools to think that we do.
We are fools to think that we, mere humans, can change, alter, or affect how the earth works.
We're still discovering new species in the midst of all these these gloom and doomers talking about how the species are dying out at the rate of what, a thousand a day or some such ridiculous figure.
We don't we don't know half, we don't I bet we don't know thirty percent of what's under the surface of the ocean in terms of species.
Uh the idea that that uh that we have tamed this planet and that we are now authoring its destruction is just absolute poppycock.
It's a story that is in the uh U UK Independent, a fascinating story, and we're in a link to it at Rushlimbaugh.com so you can uh read all about it.
Quick timeout, and we'll be back.
Stay with us.
Okay, folks, that's it for me.
I am on my way to Pebble Beach for the ATT National Pro M playing with Tom Pernice.
Hopefully we'll make the cut and play on Sunday.
Regardless, I'll be back on Monday.
Uh tomorrow and Thursday, Roger Hedgecock will be here, and on Friday, Tom Sullivan of the Sullivan Group, uh, the firm that audits my opinions regularly from Sacramento, California.
You should ask him about that.
We'll uh we'll see you on Monday.
Have a great rest of the week, folks.
