Time Text
As we reported out there yesterday, big trouble for the Democrats.
Harold Ford in Tennessee losing ground to Bob Corker.
Little interesting sidebar to that, too.
They had a debate, uh, local TV in uh Tennessee.
And they did uh TV station did a an analysis after the debate, and they had a couple of their people anchor, and they had somebody from the Ford campaign.
They forgot to put somebody from the Corker campaign on to do post-debate analysis, and the TV stations actually apologized for it, but the damage is done.
Greetings and welcome back, thrill seekers and music lovers, Rush Lynn Boy here, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, 800-282-2882, and the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
You won't see much about this, but Ned Lament is slipping in um in Connecticut as well.
What's happening there is that a number of Democrats are beginning to say, you know, I really won't care if uh Lieberman ends up back there.
Lament's sort of stepping in it.
He uh went on Chris Matthews the other night and said he would support uh military assault on Iran.
Chris Matthews couldn't believe it.
Said that he we have to be prepared for all contingencies.
And uh then Lament has stooped to something that he really got caught on.
Uh forcing Lieberman to defend his civil rights record uh because he well, he did it because uh a black Democrat group charged that he has lied about his 1960s activism fighting segregation in the South.
Uh Lieberman said yes, that's really outrageous, and of course it's a lie.
The Connecticut Federation of Black Democratic Clubs, which includes twenty clubs across the state, endorsed Lieberman's rival Ned Lament and questioned whether he marched for civil rights.
Senator, the Connecticut Federation of Black Democratic Clubs is offended by your TV ad, which claims that you were an advocate for African Americans' first class citizenship, and as such you marched for our civil rights, said Henry E. Parker, former state treasurer, during a news conference attended by Lament.
Now, don't think Lament just showed up to attend.
I mean, Lament.
They had Lament had to know this was going to happen.
Our research indicates that there is no evidence of you taking any action that could be described as an initiative to remove the shackles of second-class citizenship.
Lieberman's campaign posted a 1963 college newspaper clip that cites his reporting from Jackson, Mississippi about the arrests of civil rights workers.
Lieberman was chairman of the Yale Daily News at the time.
Was I there, Lieberman said?
You bet I was there.
Lieberman said he led a group of Yale students to Mississippi, also recalled being part of the Washington, D.C. crowd at Martin Luther King Jr.'s I Have a Dream speech in August of 1963.
Lament's campaign manager Tom Swan said to Lament was not questioning Lieberman's civil rights background.
However, Lament's campaign paid for a flyer that the group distributed at the event.
Ned Lament was right there.
He can't discount this, said Lieberman, noting that Lament voiced no disagreement with the group's charges at the uh at the news conference.
So Lament's been trapped.
Uh befuddled, whatever.
It's and this is uh I think also their neck and neck in New Jersey.
Tom Kane Jr. with uh with Robert Menendez, the uh the incumbent.
Ladies and gentlemen, if during the break, a uh a friend of mine sent me an email.
I uh I I I don't visit the Democrat kook websites much anymore, but a friend does.
It's just funny.
What is this site?
PrisonPlanet.com.
It's an article here by Alex Jones.
Uh now I'm told, I don't know this for certain.
I am told that Alex Jones is one of the leaders of the 9-11 was a government conspiracy campaign.
Uh, one of the leaders of the movement trying to prove it 9-11 was not what it was appear that the Bush administration was behind it uh for whatever nefarious purpose.
Let me just read this to you.
Headline, Fox News spins plane accident says it could affect election.
The FBI and Homeland Security are now labeling a small aircraft hitting an apartment building in Manhattan as a probable accident.
Is this a government psy-op intended to invoke memories of 9-11 as the midterm elections approach?
On Fox News, your world with Neil Cavuto, Cavuto suggested during a conversation with Congressman Peter King that the event would possibly affect the upcoming midterm election by reminding Americans of the horror of 9-11.
It has now been reported the pilot, one of the occupants of the plane was Corey Lytle.
The fact that the accident in Now listen to this.
The fact that the accident involves a celebrity means the networks can justifiably talk about it for another three weeks, and in that sense, invoking memories of 9-11, it could impact the election.
Reports that Lytle's passport was found on the street, also seen as suspicious by some 9-11 truthers, because it would seemingly prop up the inconceivable notion that Mohammed Atta and other hijackers' passports survived and were discovered.
However, in the case of Lytle, this could easily be explained by eyewitness reports that most of the plane debris did not enter the building and ended up on the street below.
They believe it.
They believe that this is a psychological ops operation designed to make you think of 9-11 to impact negatively the Democrats in the upcoming election.
I have noticed also, ladies and gentlemen, there are there's a tremendous number of stories on voter fraud out there all of a sudden.
One from the St. Louis Post Dispatch from yesterday, suspect voter registration cards found in St. Louis, details coming up.
Will Lester, the Associated Press, and this story.
Uh I I got it.
I saw it at the UK Guardian, but Will Lester is uh an American AP writer.
And this story is entitled Report Voter Fraud May Be Overstated.
Now, I'm sure some of you might have seen this.
And when you first saw the story and read it, you probably thought, aha.
Somebody's done a look see and they've found out that there isn't all this voter fraud going on out there.
And you thought it was probably good news.
But that's why I'm here and you're there.
That's why I'm on this side of the microphone and you are listening.
Because the real purpose of this story, ladies and gentlemen, is to short circuit reports of voter fraud.
Voter fraud is widespread, and it is blatant, as this story from the St. Louis Post Dispatch, which I will share with you in mere moments indicate.
So why do we have a story from the AP that says voter fraud may be overstated?
Simple.
The voter fraud that's taking place out there is occurring vastly by Democrats.
And so they're trying to say there is no voter fraud.
I guarantee you, if they had found evidence of Republican voter fraud, it would be an entirely different story.
Then there is a companion story to this at Slate.com by Bruce Reed, former Clinton domestic policy advisor.
And the headline, midterm limits, there is a conspiracy to steal the elections.
It's called redistricting.
Now, Snerdley, you are close to losing the bit.
It was just yesterday I predicted that we would get a story talking about how the Democrats are going to lose, and it may not be a bad thing given this, that, and the other thing.
Now, this story is not quite that.
But here we have Bruce Reed, a former Clinton domestic policy advisor, making up possible justifications for electoral failure.
And it's all about redistricting, and guess what?
It's all Tom Delay's fault.
Details on all of this coming up, plus your phone calls after this.
Don't go away, my friends.
Okay, in order, here we go, and welcome back.
Rush Linbo, by the way, America's real anchor man serving humanity, simply by showing up here on the famous EIB network, uh, St. Louis Post Dispatch yesterday, suspect voter registration cards found in St. Louis.
St. Louis election board officials say they've discovered at least one thousand four hundred and ninety-two potentially fraudulent voter registration cards, including three from dead people, one from a 16-year-old among the thousands pouring in before today's voter registration deadline for the November 7th election.
One thing we all know is these voter registration deadlines don't matter either.
City Republican elections director Scott Lindecker has said the board's staff expects to find even more bogus voter registration applications among the thousands remaining to be processed.
They plan to turn all the questionable cards over to the city circuit attorney Jennifer Joyce for the investigation and possible prosecution.
The board says all questionable cards were turned in by one group, Acorn.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
They're a far-left Democrat.
Now, you know, the media will call them a far-left Democrat watchdog group.
They are a far-left Democrat front group.
Just as this crew bunch behind the Foley emails being characterized as a watchdog group, it's a Democrat front group.
Statewide in Missouri Acorn has turned in about 40,000 new voter registrations in recent weeks.
About 15,000 were collected in the city of St. Louis, 5,000 in St. Louis County.
The rest were primarily in the Kansas City area.
I'm sure there are some token Republicans in their in their registration, but that's what they would be.
Just Token.
Acorn's voter registration collections have come under fire in recent weeks in several states, including Ohio and Pennsylvania in St. Louis three years ago.
The City Election Board reported finding more than 1,000 suspicious voter registration cards turned in by Acorn.
No one appears to have been prosecuted in that case, although Joyce's office has obtained convictions regarding fraudulent voter registration cards turned in by people working for other now defunct groups.
Whalen and Meller, these are two people involved in this, also disputed a separate controversy ignited by a local political blog said the reformer Acorn employee alleged that she and other voter registration workers had been told to promote the candidacy of State Auditor Claire McCaskill, who's the Democrat running for the Senate seat there against Jim Talent.
So folks, what we have here, and we have to admit, despite all of the news about hanging Chads, and don't forget, all those hanging Chads and all those butterfly ballots and all the supposed fraud in Florida, three counties run by Democrats.
We've got the allegations of voter machine fraud in 2004 in Ohio.
But it seems to me that every story we encounter from false exit polling data being reported to voter fraud involves massive Democrat voter fraud.
The truth is, and let me just fire point blank both barrels, Democrats have absolutely no chance of winning without voter fraud.
Without falsely registering illegal voters, people from the grave, animals, pets, and so forth.
Now, here's here's the story by Will Lester.
The Associated Press.
The most common form of voter fraud involves absentee ballots, including forgery and coercion in getting older or ailing voters to fill them out.
Why do you, by the way, why do you think Democrats are against photo ID for voters?
You have to have photo ID for everything else.
Why?
Can't cheat that way.
Well that makes it makes it much harder.
Now, this report, this report that says voter fraud may be overstated, was prepared by Tova Wang.
Now, Tova Wang is an elections expert at the Century Foundation think tank.
And uh she had help from Job Sarabrov, who is an Arkansas attorney.
Tova Wang worked as an independent political consultant and campaign staff member for a number of national and statewide political and advocacy groups.
She has worked for the uh Reverend Doc in his 1996 get out the vote effort, and in 1992 was Manhattan field director for the Clinton for President campaign.
And this is the woman who has co-authored the report stating voter fraud may be overstated.
Which is why, ladies and gentlemen, I am telling you that the reason for this is so that the uh the real fraud that's going on out there will not be even looked upon as fraud because it's occurring far more often by Democrats and on behalf of Democrats uh than others.
And then this from Slate.com by Bruce Reed, Clinton domestic policy advisor, all about how there is a conspiracy to steal the elections.
It's called redistricting, and it is all Tom DeLay's fault.
Tom Delay traded his career for a mug shot in order to build a Republican majority's most formidable levy, the gerrymander of Texas's 32 seat delegation.
California Democrats opposed redistricting in order to punish Schwarzenegger as a result.
House Republicans could well survive the worst political year in a generation without losing a single seat in the largest state and one of the bluest.
And because he got pounded at the polls, Schwarzenegger turned himself back into a centrist who's now riding the wave instead of drowning in the tsunami.
Even after pouring over this week's bleak poll numbers, Carl Rove isn't completely crazy to imagine his party holding on to the House in November.
Democrats aren't likely to win the popular vote by seven points, let alone seventeen.
But what's really keeping Rove's dark hopes alive.
Dark hopes, wanting to hold the house's dark hopes, is the firewall of safe districts that could enable the Republican Party to survive what would otherwise be a China syndrome political meltdown.
Hey, if it's that big, if it's a China syndrome, there's nothing that should be able to stop it.
That's nuclear.
So here's the snerdly, you're getting close here to owing me big uh big bucks.
We made that we made that uh we made that bet.
All right to the phones, people patiently waiting.
Dave in Las Vegas.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the program.
Hey, Rush.
Uh I thought it was kind of curious that Rory Reed is our county commissioner here and happens to also be the son of Harry Reed, and I haven't heard that reported or even uh looked into it all.
Oh, what's suspicious about that?
That Dingy Harry's son is on the zoning committee board, the county commissioner.
Yeah.
And he's up for re-election and his his ads are real.
Well, let's examine this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let me we've got let's examine this.
Um I'm trying to find the common link here.
Uh we've got Dingy Harry who did his shenanigans with Jay Brown and Harry Whitamore, two guys.
Uh Jay Brown investigated often by the feds for organized crime type activity.
Uh Dingy Harry makes a handshake deal with this guy, uh, buys some land for four hundred thousand dollars, uh, has a handshake deal with Brown, gives them gives the his ownership back to the Brown LLC, forget the name of it.
Brown sells it later, four years later, and Reed, who doesn't own it anymore, gets one point one million dollars, doesn't have to pay taxes much during this period of time.
Uh one of the things that happened to make this property valuable, they had to rezone it because it was it had animals on it that were protected, and it was 90% owned by the federal government, but they somehow got it zoned to take it commercial to build malls and uh uh golf courses, sixteen golf courses and so forth.
And you you say that that that Harry Reed's son Rory being on the county commission uh might have something to do with this?
Well, I you know, it just seems like you might connect the dots there.
Well, I'm trying to connect the dots.
I'm trying to find out what's the common link here that that would uh let me look at this.
Dingy Harry, Harry Brown, or Jay Brown, uh and Harry's son.
I mean, why do why do we always want to blame the kids?
Why why you're right.
I'm telling you, this is how this is how the mainstream media would look at it.
Well, what so what?
Dingy Harry's sons on the uh on the commission, county committee.
What I don't see the link.
Uh I don't I don't I don't uh how can you connect the dots uh with just just because his son's there?
I mean, are you against sons doing well uh in in life?
Are you against sons following in their father's footsteps?
I'm afraid he is following his father's footsteps.
I mean, we we'd have to condemn the whole Kennedy family if we're gonna start condemning Rory.
As we should.
Yes, exactly right.
I I'm just prepping you for what uh you're going to see in uh most of the drive-by media that there is no connection, and I think you're being a conspira a paranoid conspiratist.
Uh, I know.
All right.
Thanks much.
Thank you.
Thanks, D appreciate it.
Bill in uh Cincinnati.
Welcome to the program.
Got one minute.
Can you say it in one minute?
Hey, Rush.
It's uh it's an honor to speak to you.
Uh real real briefly, I'm uh I'm a disabled uh retired fireman.
I'm in a whole lot of pain, and uh your three hours every day take my mind off the pain, and I thank him for that.
Appreciate that.
Thanks very much.
Hey, um the point I wanted to make, Rush, was um I'm watching Fox yesterday cover the the New York, you know, the plane rack and the high rise, and I'm sitting next to my wife, and I see Charlie Wrangle's face on the Cavuto show, and I tell my wife, I said, watch him somehow spin us into a bash Bush thing.
And I kind of was half-heartedly saying it.
And Neil questions Charlie in the somber voice about the markets reacting to this tragedy and how people thought it possibly could be terror related.
And Charlie doesn't say, you know, my thoughts and prayers go to the innocent victims or this terrible accident, but he immediately says in a smiling way, I thought the market was reacting to the president's speech.
You are exactly right.
I have these sound bites.
I'll play them for you and the audience when we come back from this break here at the bottom of the hour.
Rushland ball, the E. IB network, back after this.
And here we go, the Charles Wrangle sound bites on the uh needle cavuto show in Fox yesterday afternoon.
Um Cavuto on our first of uh two bytes says, Congressman, what do you think of all this?
The plane crash.
I thank God that it was not a terrorist attack.
Uh, having been in New York uh on that Tuesday, September the ninth.
Uh I thought that was an accident.
Wait a minute.
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
What that he just had to misspeak.
Having been in New York on um on that Tuesday, September the 9th.
It was the uh Yeah, but cue this back up.
I when that went by he knows obviously 911, but who doesn't know it's nine eleven?
That's just a misspeak, right?
I mean, if this were Bush that said this, they'd be demanding to be institutionalized psychological hospital.
Uh brain scan or what have you.
Here it is again.
I thank God that it was not a terrorist attack.
Uh, having been in New York uh on that Tuesday, September the ninth, uh, I thought that was an accident.
And of course it broke my heart and uh it's less uh aching in my heart now uh that it was a terrorist attack.
But I get no comfort at all in believing that we are prepared for a terrorist attack.
The jets went up after the fact.
I still wonder how a plane could uh fly uh up the Hudson and be able to do this type of damage.
Yeah, well, it was uh is on its way to your district.
Uh had it not been derailed by whatever derailed it, it was on the way up the East River and then perhaps the Harlem River, and then who knows where it was headed, uh Congressman.
Okay, so uh he's worried.
All this means they're worried that you're gonna look at 9-11 in this, and so they got to turn this around and make it look like that's a security breach.
Cavuto says, Well, what do you make of the fact that our financial markets are still on tender hooks as it relates to this stuff?
Now, by the way, the markets did plunge as though it was a terrorist attack.
And then uh when it was announced that it wasn't that, they came right back, recovered almost everything that they had lost in this brief period of time.
As you might suspect, Neil, I thought it fell after the president's speech on the state of the economy.
The president talking about how good the economy was for those people who are really not the salaries have not kept up with this progress.
The people are losing their jobs, their pensions, and their health care.
I don't really think that they think borrowing from the Chinese in order to pay for tax cut for the wealthy is the best way for our economy to go.
Charlie, only you could work in that into this discussion today, but congratulations.
So he did take the opportunity of this accident to trash the Bush administration and the uh and the economy.
So I had these bites.
Uh I'm gonna use them, but the caller referenced them and so um.
You want it, you got it.
On demand.
Robert and Phoenix, welcome to the EIB network hi.
Yes, sir.
Uh thank you, Rush.
Uh longtime listener since 1994.
Thank you for being an encouragement to those of us who like to work for a living and enjoy the the prosperity that comes from being an American.
Thank you, sir.
Um be here encouraging you for as long as that opportunity lasts.
Yes, sir.
Well, here uh recently our our votes have been neutralized by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
We uh we voted in Arizona to uh make it mandatory that you have identification to register to vote and to vote.
And the Ninth Circuit Court said that that was unconstitutional, and they nullified my vote and the vote of a lot of uh you know the majority of people in Arizona that voted on on that issue.
And they have um uh granted uh voting rights to anybody who wants to come to Arizona and vote.
You don't need identification, come from Iran or North Korea, come from anywhere you want and vote in Arizona, and it'll receive the same weight as uh any other.
Yeah, no, no, wait, no, no, no, wait, don't go too far here.
They're not saying anybody illegal can come vote.
They might hope that that's what happens at the Ninth Circuit.
They're just saying that you don't have to have a photo ID to do it, that that is discriminatory and uh and unfair and so forth.
But you still have to be, you know, legal in the country in order to vote according to their according to their ruling.
The interesting thing is the Ninth Circus, as we all know is is comprised of a majority of liberals.
And you you uh look, you don't even need me to tell you this, draw your own conclusion.
What is so threatening about a photo ID to vote?
My God, look what else you need a photo ID to do.
Uh some young people need a photo ID to get into a movie.
You need a photo ID to open a check in, can you need a photo ID I to get on a f an airplane?
I'm for it it's it's all over, but not to vote.
And in I remember in Georgia, this is fascinating.
They proposed photo ID, mandatory before you can register to vote and then vote.
And the Reverend Dox and a number of Democrats flew down there and raised hell.
And they said, You can't you can't require that.
That's discrimination.
And people, discrimination?
How in the world can you say it's discrimination?
Well, because some of these people can't afford it.
And some of these people can't leave their homes.
I mean, some of these people can't afford to go get what it costs, and again can't afford to leave their homes.
They they're bedridden, they're they're they're homebound, they can't get out.
State of Georgia said, No problem.
We'll pay for it.
We will make it free.
And in fact, we'll go to them.
And that really set the Reverend Jackson off.
Reverend Jack, you can't do that.
We're not falling for that trick.
People said, What trick?
Hey, we know who we're talking about here.
We're talking about poor blacks.
They have an institutional fear of government, even in the South to this day, throughout the whole country because of slavery, they're not going to let some government revenue in their house.
They're not going to let somebody poke around and plant drugs in their house in this.
So we're not going to let people in there.
And so the whole thing died.
Now, the reason that you fight this to that degree is because you you've got to maintain your ability to defraud the uh the whole process.
It's obvious.
I'm just gonna tell you right now, Democrats can't win.
They can blame redistricting, they can blame whatever they want, but unless they can uh continue to get dead people to vote and uh other people to vote multiple times, they don't have a prayer.
Uh they're outnumbered by Republicans nationwide.
They are um and certainly when you count the number of independents that end up voting Republican, it outnumbers them.
They um uh do not have a good good out the vote effort.
There's nothing inspirational going on in their uh in their in their party, and they haven't won an election since 1994 anyway.
And I've always been amazed at the the foregone conclusion that uh they're gonna sweep it all this year.
What why?
Because it'd be people hate Bush, and because everybody hates Republicans and Denny Hastert and Mark Foley and so forth.
I mean I haven't bought it, I don't buy it now.
Ray, Midland, Texas, thanks for waiting.
You're next on the program.
Great to have you with us, sir.
Mega Ditto's rush.
How's it going?
Good.
Never better, sir.
Yeah, I was wanting to get your opinion on what you think about McCain sniping at Democrats instead of uh laying in bed with them, pretty much.
Well, let's let's we we have some sound bites.
I had some sound bites from uh yesterday that I held over until today to uh discuss this.
Let's go back there, start an audio soundbite number nine out there, Mike.
This is Tuesday in Michigan.
Uh here is McCain, and and he's talking this uh saying this about the Clintons and North Korea.
I would remind Senator Clinton and other Democrats critical of the Bush administration policies, that the framework agreement, her husband's administration negotiated was a failure.
Now we are facing the consequences of the failed Clinton administration policies.
And we must stop at long last reinforcing failure with failure.
All right, now there's a number of ways to look at this.
The first thing that we have to say is he's right.
Right?
If you now, if you want to go further and examine motivation, we can do that.
You see snow flurries in Chicago.
A sure sign of climate change brought on by human activity relating to global warming.
That's what they're going to say.
It snowed in Chicago in October.
I'll bet you can look it up.
And find that it is even so, it's going to be a sign of global warming for climate change brought on by excess on the part of Western societies.
At any rate, what he said is true.
And he's standing up for the Bush administration, and he is ripping the Clintons.
So you want to go to motivation now.
Motivation is one of two things, and maybe more.
The first thing is you got to figure that he thinks he's going to be the nominee, and he also got a figure that he thinks his opposition is going to be Hillary.
Never too soon to start.
Number two, you have to figure that Clintons have no dirt on McCain.
FBI files otherwise, so he's not afraid to go out and criticize.
Number three, you would have to conclude that he's maybe making a move on the Republican base during an election season when they're paying attention.
He uh uh you got to look at his future on this.
During the course of the year, he can cozy up to the drive by media all he wants and get their approval, because he knows that the vast majority of people are really not paying that close attention, but when you get into an election season, they are.
The Clintons gave him a wide open here when Mrs. Clinton was stupid for her to even come out and comment on this.
Uh but she did, and she made herself a huge target, and he took a shot.
And what he said is true.
So the only thing that's you know fascinating to people is motivation.
But there was fallout, ladies and gentlemen, in none other than the drive-by media.
Yesterday on the CBS early show, the anchorette, Hannah Storm was interviewing McCain.
They had this exchange.
Why blame the Clinton administration at this point?
Well, I was responding to attacks made on President Bush by Mrs. Clinton, Senator Kerry, Senator Reid, and other Democrats, which I thought was really uh the wrong time to do this uh entitled to their views, but we're trying to get the support of the American people and the world to impose sanctions on North Korea so that we can bring this very grave threat to world peace to a halt.
And I thought it was not appropriate at this moment to uh be critical of the uh President Bush.
Meaning that there are plenty of other moments, it's okay to be critical of President Bush, but not this one.
We're trying to unify around sanctions and and and something, and uh the the point fingers of blame.
Why, why uh this is just ill-timed, and I was merely defending uh President Bush against attacks by these Democrats.
And you but the the question is very interesting.
Why why blame the Clinton administration at this point?
Why are you doing this?
She was stunned, uh, no question about it.
Uh, most of the drive-by media was.
Well, why are you blaming the Clintons on this?
We set you up to blame Bush again.
So the next question, Senator Kerry said that you must be trying to burnish your credentials for the nomination process.
He's referring, of course, to your presidential aspirations.
What do you say to those who say that you're politicizing the issue?
I say that the attacks were made on President Bush.
I responded to those attacks and this administration, and I don't think I need any lessons from my friend John Kerry on politicizing an issue.
He's laughing there when he so am I. I love it when anybody puts down uh the lurch.
It's so easy, and not enough people do it.
And he's just a walking joke.
Uh, and he gets away with all this supposed stature and erudition and all that.
So there you have it.
That's McCain defending the president on North Korea attacking the Clintons and John Kerry.
Back after this, stay with us.
All right, the earliest anniversary, or the anniversary of the earliest snowfall in Chicago is September 25th.
And this is uh October the twelfth.
September 25th uh 1928, and also 1942, the earliest fall snow, even though it is flurries as a little trace in Chicago.
None of them resulted in any accumulation.
But they, according to Tom Skilling, WGN TV chief meteorologist, they created quite a public stir at the time.
September 25th and 28 was a raw day.
The high low temperatures were 50 and 39.
It was even worse in 1942, was 46 and 30 degrees, high and low.
Caused a big public stir.
A public stir earliest.
And it's causing a big public stir today, too.
And of course, uh climate change, massive climate change.
Speaking of massive climate change, ladies and gentlemen.
I don't know how many of you people saw this, but I I know that I am probably going to be target number, well, I'm going to be in the top ten.
Nuremberg style trials proposed for global warming skeptics.
A U.S. based environmental magazine that both former Vice President Al Gore and PBS newsman Bill Moyers have deemed respectable enough to grant one-on-one interviews to now advocating Nuremberg style war crimes trials for skeptics of human-caused catastrophic global warming.
Name of the magazine is Grist.
Grist magazine, a staff writer, David Roberts called for the Nuremberg style trials for the quote unquote bastards who were members of what he termed the global warming denial industry.
Roberts wrote in the online publication, September 19th this year, when we've finally gotten serious about global warming.
When the impacts are really hitting us, and we're in a full worldwide scramble to minimize the damage we should have war crimes trials for these bastards.
Some sort of crime at Nuremberg.
I wonder if anybody's going to ask Gore and Moyers about this.
um Now, the global warming denial industry has got some people upset because that's Holocaust terminology.
And Roger Pelke, Jr., the University of Colorado's Center for Science and Technology Policy Research said the phrase climate change denier is meant to be evocative of the phrase Holocaust denier.
Pelke wrote in October 9th, what a couple days ago, actually, three days ago, uh this year.
Let's be blunt.
The illusion.
This illusion is an affront to those who suffered and died in the Holocaust.
This illusion has no place in the discourse on climate change.
I say this as someone fully convinced of a significant human role in the behavior of the climate system.
The article Global Warming, the chilling effect on free speech, last week in Spiked Online addresses this newfound penchant by environmentalists, WACOs, and some media members to charge skeptics of human-caused catastrophic global warming with crimes against humanity and urge Nuremberg style prosecution of them.
Now, before you just react and say, oh man, are these people funny or what?
These are liberals.
I have often on this program in the past referred to liberals as Stalinists.
Just yesterday I had some guy call me and argue with me when I said that liberals are opposed to liberty.
No, they're not.
You explained that.
And I cited countless examples.
Here's another one.
Nuremberg style trials for global warming.
Man-made global warming denials.
Deniers.
Now, this this is who liberals are.
They don't want to hear a viewpoint other than what they believe.
These are not conservatives doing this.
These are not moderates.
These people are liberals.
Back in just a second, my friend.
Researchers at Ohio State University say that strident politics silences voters.
