Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
All right, greetings and through thrill seekers and music lovers and conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
It's broadcast excellence time.
L Rushball back at them here finally after a uh a day under the weather.
Actually, still am under the weather.
I have to say this Zycam stuff works.
I shut it.
I I would probably have to miss a couple more days this week if it were not for the stuff.
Anyway, uh here's a telephone number if you want to be on the program today, folks.
800 excuse me, 282-2882.
That's 800-282-2882, the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
So I got up on Sunday morning in my lavish suite out there by the 18th Green at Pebble Beach.
At the lodge, and I I woke up and I felt that I just knew it.
I haven't had a cold in I don't know how many years, and I just knew I've this tightness in my chest, and I started I just got mad.
As I had um I've been shaking a bunch of hands uh all day on uh well, Friday afternoon, Saturday, and I didn't have any hand sanitizer, and I know that's how this happened.
So I immediately got up and I started using the Zycam swabs swabs, and so it flew back.
It got progressively worse on a plane ride home.
Uh I got I guess I get it about um seven o'clock Sunday night, and it just kept getting worse and worse and worse, and I kept using the Zycam, and I finally I decided uh that I wasn't going to be able to come in on Monday.
It was just uh I was in cough.
I my cough spasm was so bad, I think I pulled a muscle in my back during one of these coughing spasms.
So I went out there and I you know got some Nyquel and stuff, and I was asleep uh from basically 10 o'clock last night till seven o'clock or 10 o'clock Sunday night till 7 o'clock this morning.
I got up a couple times for 20 minutes or so to uh uh check computer to see if anything going on emergency-wise.
Uh and I've still I've still got some of the residue of that Nyquil in me.
So if you just never know what's gonna happen uh when when that's the case.
And I'm still stuffed up, and I still have the hacking cough, and I probably still sound a little Do I sound sound stuffy other than the sniffles?
I do sound stuffy.
So um at any rate, that that's that's that.
It was a great time out there.
Uh it always is.
I've the weather was not the best, uh, but even so I missed not being able to play.
Uh but had a uh uh a marvelous week with uh spending a lot of great time with some friends and I'm sure some things about it will become noteworthy in my memory as we go through the week.
Uh be able to pass along some of the uh events to you.
Uh also, folks, uh during my absence, I understand that the uh the two t-shirts, the rush for peace t-shirts that are uh in honor of my Nobel Peace Prize nomination, uh, were produced and now are in stock at the EIB store in addition to the Rush Babe on board signs, which we were able to get in stock or stocked in the store before I left.
Uh the the two shirts, and one of them says Rush for Peace on the front with the Rush for Peace logo, give peace a chance on the back.
Uh you can see these.
We've got them graphically portrayed at the EIB store at Rush Limbaugh.com.
Uh shirt number two says Give Peace a chance on the front with the Rush for Peace logo and Peace Through Limbo on the back.
And they got the Nobel coin is rather black t-shirts uh with uh very clever and and uh uh I'd say pretty uh graphic portrayals of the Nobel coin and our logos and so forth.
So this is uh commemorate my nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, which by the way has been acknowledged by the Nobel Committee.
Yes, they uh they they they somebody got hold of them and they said their number of nominations this year for the Nobel Peace Prize are down over this time last year, but they did acknowledge receiving the nomination of of me by the uh landmark legal foundation.
Yes.
I can't now don't if if I start laughing, I'll uh go into coughing spasms, so don't uh.
Don't uh don't make me laugh.
Can we grab audio soundbite number four, uh, Mr. Broadcast Engineer?
Oh, oh, before we do that, while I was gone, I also had Paul Shanklin working on a couple of global warming update themes, in addition to the one that I'm gonna use.
I'm gonna use Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Fire.
It's a shortened version.
It works, but I also had Shank and I said, Look, we need to do a take off on uh on uh uh What a Wonderful World, uh Louie Armstrong song uh sung by Al Gore and Ring of Fire by Johnny Carson, or Johnny Cash, sung by uh uh Al Gore as well.
I don't want to play the whole versions here, but just to give you a sample.
Let's uh let's play um uh the Ring of Fire parody first, Mr. Broadcast Engineer.
Both these are Al Gore, as portrayed by Paul Shanklin.
Just to give you a heads up.
Okay, that's just a sample.
Uh these will be in the rotation along with I Am the God of Hellfire by the crazy world of Arthur Brown.
And just to give you an illustration of how absurd it is getting, the Valentine's Day bouquet has become the latest problem, the latest cause celeb among environmental campaigners.
The Valentine's Bouquet.
Uh, latest government figures show that the flowers that make up the average bunch of uh Valentine's Day bouquets have flown 33,800 miles to reach Great Britain.
In the past three years, the amount of flowers imported from the Netherlands has fallen by 47% to 94,000 tons, while those from Africa have risen 39% to 17.
So all these uh Valentine bouquets in Great Britain are causing global warming.
There's also um a calculation today by some University of Illinois guy that the uh the number of overweight people uh driving around in cars and trucks and so forth uh uh is causing X number of millions of gallons of gasoline to be wasted every year.
It's gotten this ridiculous in sort of transferring the guilt uh to everybody for destroying the planet and creating all kinds of uh of pollution.
Also, while I was gone, I noticed uh that there with all these Republican candidates for president.
You get Giuliani, you got Mitt Romney got in today, uh McCain.
I can't even remember them all.
There's a there's a distinct effort, there's a big move underway now to redefine conservatism in a way that fits the candidacy of one or the other of these candidates.
Uh they are conflating electability with a serious discussion of conservatism.
Much of it's coming from the the New York and and uh DC elite.
Uh it reached its zenith was a with a uh with a collar from George Will that I saw yesterday.
Well, this is too Sunday, in which uh uh there's a big swipe taken at uh at Reaganism, uh and the conservatives' view of Reaganism is a waste of time, that Reagan was one man at one time and never will be again.
Uh it was it's it's it's a stunning, stunning piece.
And all these things together uh uh amused me.
Uh because have you ever ever seen liberalism wring its hands and try to redefine itself to fit one particular candidate?
I mean, liberals don't make excuses for who they are, they do their best to hide who they are, uh, and they do the best to camouflage who they are with different names, like progressives or moderates or what have you, but they never have any any uh serious disagreements over the fundamental principles of liberalism.
And yet here we go with the uh with the people on the conservative side now trying to fit each one of these candidates into what is a conservative by redefining conservatism to fit the candidate.
And this is important to me because it it ought to be the other way around.
If conservatives are serious uh about a conservative candidate, then the candidate ought to have to be conservative, not the other way around.
And I see that happening.
We'll expand on this as the program unfolds today, but I gotta take a qua quick time out now.
Sit tight, we'll be right back.
I will again let me apologize.
Uh there's gonna be a numerous dead air pauses while I cough, blow my nose, and this sort of thing.
But at least, ladies and gentlemen, unlike most people, I'm here.
Back after this.
Oh no, the guy hung up.
That's too bad.
We had some guy said I was missing a golden opportunity with the politics of climate change to speak out for innovative new ideas and so forth.
Um one of the events out at the at the uh Pebble Beach Tournament, there's a dinner on Wednesday night that I'm invited to each year, and it's it's it's peopled by uh populated by a number of people from high finance, uh politics.
Well, not so much politics.
There weren't that many political people out there, thank goodness.
But world of entertainment and so forth.
And uh I was I was seated, the host of this thing liked, you know, to create verbal and uh and and physical fireworks.
I was seated next to a a Hollywood uh mogul uh of the liberal bent who was intent on discussing with me uh that night the fact that we got to get rid of oil.
We we just we have to we have to get rid of oil.
I can't keep you and I both know he said that we have to get rid of oil.
And I it was a it was an atmosphere where my hearing is always challenged in these sorts of things, and I said, Look, I'd be glad to talk to you about this, but not tonight, because I'm not gonna be able to hear you well enough to be able, and this is not the time to start talking about this.
Let's make arrangements talk about it some other time.
So we did.
Uh, and we haven't had the conversation yet.
But it was I bet you it was gonna dovetail with what this guy who hung up uh was gonna say.
Let me let me get some personal things out of the way here, folks.
Can we go back?
Audio soundbite number four, Mr. Broadcast Engineer, Monday, February 5th, the day after the Super Bowl, this is what I, L. Rushbow had to say.
I can't handle any more press criticism of Rex Grossman.
They're writing his name, W-R-E-C-K-S.
They're just worst quarterback ever to play in the in the Super Bowl.
And it's been like this since a Green Bay game, actually since the Arizona game, get a little crescendo of it in the Green Bay game, last game of the season for the Bears.
And it's just unrelenting.
It's just they're focusing on this guy like they don't focus on anybody.
And I tell you, I know what it is.
The media, the sports media's got social concerns that they are first and foremost interested in, and they're dumping on this guy, Rex Grossman, for one reason, folks, and that's because he is a white quarterback.
And then later in the uh in the program, uh, of course, we're all laughing ourselves silly here.
I went into the break with that.
That's the last thing I said before going into a break, and we're laughing uh in the break.
Later in the program, I uh uh let the audience in on the gag, uh, which was to tweak the media.
Uh to to take off on the old Donovan McNabb comments about the media having social concerns and wanting a black quarterback to do.
I'm again, I'm sorry for this persistent cough, but if I take cough medicine here, I'm gonna be loopy, and I can't do that.
So it's it's just I apologize.
It's very unprofessional.
So anyway, I thought that it might maybe oh day or two and all hell would break loose over this, but it took longer than that.
And finally, by last Friday, uh, as I'm perusing the internet during some downtime out at the ATT national program, I'm starting to see on some blogs, Limbaugh has lost his mind.
Limbaugh has gone insane.
And do you remember, Mr. Snerdley, before I made this comment?
I said, let's have a little fun today.
Let's tweak the media, and uh, and there was a vote in there.
Don't do it, do do it, don't do it.
And the the the votes to do it were uh two to one in favor of doing it.
And the whole point was to tweak the media, and the another point was to demonstrate that these people in the sports media that comment on me don't listen to this program.
They get what I said selectively and out of context from these liberal so-called watchdog media media watchdog websites.
And lo and behold, it took four or five days, and then the uh the dam broke.
Wasn't quite as bad, obviously, as in the McNabb situation, because I think some people out there actually got the joke, but there were those who didn't.
Uh and when I had the time, I I jotted off a quick email note to some of these bloggers and and sports writers, said, you know, you guys missed the whole point.
If you just listen to my show now and then, rather than get what I say that it's selectively cherry-picked from these websites, you might uh you might get in on it.
And they said, Well, you know, if you're gonna crack jokes like that, if you're gonna be humorous like this, don't you Think it would be well worth it for you and your sense of humor to be well known to people even outside your audience.
So how can I do that?
How can I make my sense of humor well known to people outside my audience?
What that that isn't that up to you to under you guys are reporters.
Are you gonna how come I am the last place anybody would go to find out what I said?
The um fact of the matter is that on two or three subsequent programs I mentioned this to callers that it was a joke, that it was a tweak of the media.
Uh and Peter, I think Peter King, is that his name for the Sports Illustrated in his Monday morning quarterback piece yesterday, just got very agitated about this and started off by saying, Well, you know, for those of us who felt pity for Rush Limbaugh over his McNabb comments, I think we can forget it now.
And then he quoted uh verbatim what I had said, but did not quote anything that I had said about this being a tweak of the media, an illustration of the absurd by being absurd or any of that.
Uh which which means that King didn't hear what I said.
He's simply relying on a left-wing media watchdog site, which is what they all do.
But then he added this.
I think I'd like to say one more thing to Limbaugh.
There's a fairly significant uh decision coming in this country in two thousand eight.
Uh we in New Jersey and New Mexico and New London and new wherever have one simple request as you mull over the candidacies of a black man, a white woman, and many white men in the coming presidential debate.
Please treat them as candidates, not black candidates or female candidates or white candidates.
Now, this is from the arrogant and condescending lofty platitudes of liberalism.
Uh Mr. King.
Uh I resent the assumption that you make.
Uh how about if yeah, I'll make you a deal, Mr. King.
I will continue to do what I do.
I'm the last person that sees black or white or sex.
It's liberals that do this.
It's liberals that have put everybody into groups, usually making them victims.
But I'll make you a deal, Peter.
If you'll stop telling me which coaches in the NFL are black, and if you'll stop whining and moaning about how socially uh behind the times the NFL is because it doesn't have enough minority coaches or assistant coaches or general managers, if you'll stop pointing out to me every time a player comes up what his race is and what his background was and what his obstacles to overcome were, uh then I will keep doing what I do.
And that is all I do, Peter, is analyze people on the issues.
That's why I have never gone along with feminism as something oriented toward women.
We know that it's not Gloria Steinem has a piece recently, by the way, in which the choice between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton?
Why, that's no just either one is fine.
Either one is fine.
She starts lamenting this race and group politic.
Well, who started all of this?
People like Gloria Steinem.
Uh this proves to me what I've known all along.
Feminism was never about women's issues and women's.
This is just another way to advance liberalism.
Uh, as is so much of the liberal group think that happens out there.
But uh Mr. King, you and I can make a deal here.
You stop telling me about all the social uh problems that exist in the NFL based on race and so forth, and I will keep doing what I do by not noticing those things, and I'll stop making fun of you guys for doing it.
Thank you.
Thank you, I know.
Uh, we're here serving humanity, Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchor man behind a golden EIB microphone.
You know, the the people in the media, sports media, news media, it doesn't matter.
It's just so much fun to make fun of them because they don't get it and they don't understand that it's happening.
And it's it is so easy to tweak them now.
We know exactly how to do it to send them into conniption fits.
Uh, and then they respond in their high and mighty condescending and arrogant fashions.
Uh and then they engage in all the preachiness.
But who is it that actually is out there looking at people and saying or seeing skin color or gender first?
It's the left in this country that does this.
Here's Chuck Schumer from February 1st.
This is his on the uh the Charlie Rose Show.
Uh I think it's February 1st.
And uh uh Chuck Schumer being interviewed by Charlie Rose.
And uh Rose says, uh look at Obama's first trip to New Hampshire.
Huge success.
I don't sell Barack Short.
I like him very much, as I said.
If Hillary weren't in the race, probably wouldn't be for him.
Does it make sense for them to be on the same ticket?
That's a tough one.
Probably not.
First woman and first black, you know, you know it may be hard.
Why?
Why if they're the best people, why what would this be?
I understand he's been backtracking on this.
But so what what's the what's the big problem here?
You know, Hillary has already asked if America's ready for a woman president, Roger Simon on uh Meet the Depressed said that an Obama election would show that we've put race behind us.
We'll never put race behind us.
The left will never allow us to put race behind us.
Uh but if if you if you're black and Republican like Michael Steele or Lynn Swan or Ken Blackwell, you're ignorant or worse and ignored, and you get smeared if you are a black like Clarence Thomas.
You're not called articulate and clean, you're called stupid and a pervert.
If you are a conservative woman who's pro-life, you don't exist.
Uh and for these people to start preaching to us, as uh Peter King says, is a fairly significant decision coming in this country in 2008, Mr. Limbaugh.
We in New Jersey and elsewhere have one simple request as you mull over the candidacies of a black man, a white woman, and many white men in the coming presidential debate.
Treat them as candidates, not black candidates or female candidates or white candidates.
That's what we always have done here.
Excuse me.
Again, trying to suppress the hacking cough that has been plaguing me since Sunday.
It's getting better, but I mean, yesterday it was just in.
I mean, I it was it I have never been in such pain coughing as I was Sunday night and yesterday.
Uh at any rate, the Obama situation.
I I come in here and Cookie has a stack of sound bites from me that she accumulated while I was gone.
It's Obama this, it's Obama that, Obama here, Obama there.
We've got uh John Howard, the prime minister of uh of Australia getting involved in it as well.
Uh the latest taped segment from Al-Qaeda is an unusually personal attack on President Bush, too, in which Al Qaeda's number two in command, Amon Zawahiri, denounces Bush as an alcoholic, a liar, and gambler with an addictive personality.
When I saw this, well, this has got to be a DNC facts.
I mean, an alcoholic, a liar, and and a gambler, addictive personality.
This is the kind of stuff that the DNC, Howard Dean, and uh some of the others in the Democrat Party and the left have been shrieking for six years now.
It's amazing when you compare the statements of Al Qaeda and uh the enemies of the United States to the Democrat Party, how similar they sound.
Also, this flap with Nancy Pelosi and her airplane and her travel.
When I read about this, and it first came up uh it really got going after I I left last week.
Picked up steam, I followed it all week when I was gone.
I know a little bit about airplanes.
And there's something about this that made no sense to me.
When I was told, or when I read that the plane that the Air Force gave Pelosi could not make it coast to coast, that it was a commuter jet.
I said, what the hell is that?
There's no such thing.
So I got looking into it a little further, and I I found some fascinating tidbits.
The airplane that the Air Force wanted to give Nancy Pelosi is the Gulf Stream III.
Uh the Gulf Stream, there's a G3, G4, G5, or 450 and 550 now.
Uh the Gulf Stream III, the G3 will travel eight hours.
Uh it'll go 4,000 miles without being without having to stop to fuel.
It'll see 12 people.
Uh it's not the latest greatest plane in the sky, but it certainly doesn't have to stop to refuel.
Then I looked at something else.
I found it because I have contacts.
There's a place, there's an FBO little airport.
If we want to grab this out of my pocket here, I'm probably going to blow this sky high by making this public.
But there is a place in Salina, Kansas.
Uh We who have our own planes know where to stop if we have to stop for the best deals on fuel and a number of other things.
There is this place in uh Salina, Kansas.
And it is called Flower Air, I believe it is.
The FBO at this place, and I've also learned the Air Force stops there a lot.
And it's the Air Force who would be flying Pelosi around or anybody else.
Excuse me.
Get the cough button instead of the right button, and you heard the cough.
So the the what happened to this FBO, this flower air, they give you for every 500 gallons of gas that you buy, they give you four stakes and a bunch of wine.
And you could go in and you can make out pretty well if you if you pull in there and and uh and and you know get two thousand gallons of gas, you can end up with something like sixteen stakes and a whole case of wine.
It's just it's like anything else.
There's a there's a it's it's a competitive market out there to sell jet fuel, and I know the Air Force stops there a lot for the purposes of refueling and so forth, because the price is right and you get the good uh good benefits.
Now, I don't know that that Pelosi has ever been stopped there.
I don't know that the Air Force taking Pelosi has ever stopped there.
I just know that about this place in Salina, Kansas.
And there are other FBOs, other fixed base operators where you can stop and refuel, and there are similar kind of deals offered.
But the idea that Nancy Pelosi does that they've put her on a plane that will not go coast to coast is just not true.
She's holding out for what essentially is a Boeing 757, which is what the vice president gets and the first lady on certain trips, and that's what she wants.
Hastert did not get that.
Hastard got the G3.
Excuse me again, folks, I'm sorry.
Um they could put her on the equivalent of a G4, which would go nine hours.
They could put her on a G five.
I mean, I've seen government G fives in in uh in Vale, and I know the various uh cabinet secretaries will fly around in those things.
And the G five will go from New York to Tokyo nonstop.
But they're not putting her on something that will not go California, New York non-stop or vice versa.
If they're stopping, it's for some other reason than the plane will not make it.
Just trust me on this.
Peter in Memphis, I'm glad you called your up first today.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Thank you, Rush.
It's an honor.
It's my first time getting through.
Uh uh one point I want to make is as a conservative is I think we could take this as a golden opportunity, quit arguing with the liberals and say, look, let's take this opportunity now with our business now, innovation researchability on money, and uh be the leaders in the world in and non-carbon-based fuels case in point,
have a Manhattan type project to develop a prototype fusion gener nuclear fusion generator, which once that succeeds, and there's a lot of work being done on that, but once that would succeed, you overnight, literally, you take the Middle East out of the equation.
And I think, considering the fact that with forget about the climate change issue, look at petrolics and geopolitics and economics and so on.
What if we could be the innovators and fusion-based energy and other renewable non-carbon-based fuels, and say, look, let's take a positive optimistic approach about the future.
And I think there's a lot to be said for the fact that if you go back to the Middle Ages where coal has been used and still being counted in China as the main source for fuel for the future for hundreds of years, and yet oil's been used for a hundred years, surely we're better innovators and better at research and you know, forward thinking, intelligence and so on, to come up with better ways to do it than digging rock and pumping black deal.
Wait a second, I hold it, just a second.
I mean, I I appreciate what you're saying out there, but I don't I don't think that that uh Uh conservatism needs a um spark plug or a boost to be innovative.
And I don't think freedom requires that either.
I think the the the country here has proven itself, and the people who make this country work are its entrepreneurs, uh and the and the people who come up with these solutions.
Necessity is the mother of invention, and it just isn't there yet.
Uh everything else, you know, th you you talk here about the we're missing the uh golden opportunity over the politics of of climate change.
That's precisely what this is the politics of climate change.
I keep I keep seeing the word consensus associated with the notion that there's global warming.
And it's it's uh most of the global warming, by the way, is supposed to occur when?
During the winter.
You know, this this is nineteen ninety-nine winter was bad, the two thousand winter, this is bad.
This is this is uh th this this this winter there's nothing warming about this winter.
Unless the global warming crowd wants to sit there and tell you that every weather extreme is due to global warming, which they want to do.
Uh and it's the gullible and the easily made uh to m easily uh uh guilty who will fall for this sort of stuff.
But when it comes to uh to new fuels uh and and so forth, I I think that that'll happen in and of itself as it always has, uh, if the society is kept free, but with when the government gets behind it, when the government uh uh starts directing the private sector uh to come up with these kind of things, what do we get?
We get the electric car which nobody wanted.
We get the Prius, we get the hybrid, which by the way, there are no longer lines to buy them.
There are th they're they're the prices are coming down, they're not they're they're they're not the panacea.
You know, I don't fault people for trying here, but that's th they're those these things are not the answer.
You want you want fusion and this sort of thing.
My gosh, we haven't gotten the people of this country to go along with going nuclear yet.
And you want to start talking about fusion and these sorts of things, you're gonna have you watch the minute that comes up in a very public way, the very people that are going to oppose it are the very people who are telling you that everything else we're doing is polluting and destroying the world.
Th this this folks, th why do you think the latest predictions say that global warming is gonna go on for hundreds of years, maybe a thousand years, because they've given themselves a one thousand year issue.
They don't have to say uh anymore it's gonna get worse in five years, ten years, twenty years, thirty years, because they'll be wrong.
Uh and they'll be mis uh proven to be wrong, so they give themselves thousands of years here for an issue to continually be used to pummel people over their heads.
I'm a little long in this segment.
Must take a break.
We'll continue after this.
Stay with us.
And back to the phones we go.
The uh phone number if you'd like to join us too is 800-282-2882.
This is Rich in uh Madison, Wisconsin.
Hey Rich, how are you, sir?
Great Rush.
Uh liberal ditto's from the greatest Midwestern city in the country.
I just wanted to let you know you must be slipping a little.
I'll I'll attribute this to your sickness, but uh your uh response with uh Mr. King is uh you you started it, you did it first.
The argument is uh it's pretty weak.
I think my kids could uh teach a thing or two about blaming each other uh about their uh shenanigans.
Well, you think is you you are you telling me that my response to Mr. King's childishness sounded childish?
Absolutely.
The idea that I just had to break up a fight this morning with my children, uh my daughter says, No, you Ethan did it first.
That's kind of sounding like how you need to be kidding me.
No, that's what it sounded like.
I'm not kidding you, of course not.
I wouldn't kid you.
You're one thing nobody has ever called me is childish.
Well, again, I might attribute this to your cold.
Uh it's been going around, but the uh I'll stop when you stop is uh I don't know about that argument.
That that wasn't that wasn't what uh what I was saying at all.
I was trying to point out the utter hypocrisy of Mr. King.
Who is he to sit high atop the liberal throne of correctness on everything and tell me how I've got to view people when he's the one views people the way he's accusing me of doing it.
You know, he can sit there all day long and preach to me as though he never makes any kind of mistake in these regards and then puts this whole onus on me, we got an election coming up, please look at these, not as female or black candidates but just as candidates.
When in fact it's Peter King and his ilk who can't stop telling us about the skin color or the gender differences uh among people about which they're reporting on and the social concerns affecting them all.
You know, so That was this is I'm not I'm not saying you stop and I'll stop because I I don't have to stop anything because I don't do what he says I do.
That's just what it sounded like, Russ.
I just uh want to tell you that even liberals out here do enjoy your show, even though I rarely agree with you, but you keep up the good work and uh you have a great entertainment.
I knew you were a lib, I knew you were a lib right off the bat, didn't want to make the accusation because I wanted to hold up the possibility that in my weakened state being ravaged by the common cold virus, I was wrong.
But the fact that you are a lib and an admitted lib calling to chide me on this tells me something entirely different.
And that is I scored points.
And you had to do something to dilute the point.
John Excuse me, folks, trying to suppress cough here.
Bozeman Montana, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
Hey.
Nice to talk with you.
Thank you.
Listen, I can't believe two two points uh quick.
I can't believe the Democrats who are opposed to global warming are letting Nancy Pelosi and her 757 footprint fly around the country.
She's gotta get a more fuel efficient ride than that, don't you?
Not only that, if she's driving around to global warming rallies in these giant SUVs.
Well, you know, the other day, Sir Richard Bronson said he was going to offer twenty-five million to the person who solves global warming.
Right.
Do I get the prize if I tell him to park the jets?
Park the Virgin Fleet.
Can I give my address over there?
Why does it everywhere he can send the check?
Why doesn't he give it to Gore?
Because I thought Gore had already Gore's going to win an Oscar, Gore's gonna win an Emmy, Gore's gonna win a Grammy, Gore's gonna win whatever.
Gore's gonna win the Nobel Peace Prize, seems to me that that's solving the problem in liberal speak.
Did Gore fly over there, do you think?
Oh, Gore is you know, every time Al Gore opens his mouth, the temperature drops ten degrees.
I love it with the with the airplanes and and the global warming and the and the crowd that owns the the airplanes like that.
Exactly right.
Exactly.
Well, you know, you're beginning, you're you're falling for the for the whole you're you're accepting the premise.
I know you're joking.
But uh you're accepting the premise that there is warming and that it is caused by man.
And there may be warming.
Uh it's that's not even settled.
Uh but the fact that it's caused by man is it's just that's not science either.
That's just that's a result of consensus, and there can be no science if the word consensus is involved.
Science and consensus.
Uh the two things cancel each other out.
Certainly there's no science if there is consensus.
But I appreciate the call, John.
Thanks much.
We'll be back here in just a second.
Well, in Arizona, it's exactly uh happening exactly as we said it would uh economically, regarding the increase in the minimum wage.
We have details of that.
Plus, did you know that uh you might be better off with adopted parents than when your natural parents?
Yep.
Adoptive parents care more for you.
