Time Text
Uh, hang on, still looking at something here.
Okay, guess we're ready to go.
Open line Friday.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network.
Happy to have you with us live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Yahoo.
Great to have you with us.
On the most unpredictable program on radio today, a program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations on a daily basis.
A program that combines irreverent humor with a serious discussion of issues with credibility on both sides of that equation.
The telephone number, if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882.
Email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Now just remember, open line Friday's different in this way.
From Monday through Thursday.
Monday through Thursday, we talk about what I care about.
I don't care about it.
We don't talk about it.
I don't care what it is.
On Friday, though, when we go to the phones, the program is yours.
Whatever you want.
Even if I don't care about it, and even if I I may act like I don't care about it, but we will still talk about it.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882 and the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
A reminder, the second episode of the Half Hour News Hour uh airs Sunday night, 10 p.m.
Fox News Channel.
Uh last week was a rerun, and it was uh it was a rerun because the Academy Awards were on, and uh that captivated most of the audience.
Even so, the rerun of the half hour news hour attracted the largest cable news audience of the night by far.
Second episode, which I happen to think, as just my personal opinion here is funnier than the first episode, uh, including the opening skit with me as president and coulters vice president as uh Fireside Chat uh takes place.
Now, I was told that the uh uh fireside chat clip was going to be posted on YouTube, and I've been looking for it on YouTube and I can't find it.
I find everything else about the show on YouTube and I can't find it, so I'm not sure that it's been uh posted.
We're trying to track it down now.
If it has been posted and I just don't find it, we'll get the link and link to it at Rush Limbaugh.com uh eventually.
But remember it airs 10 p.m.
Sunday night, episode number two of the half hour news hour on the Fox News Channel.
Some more from the global warming stack here, folks, back in Tennessee on Tuesday after Al Gord had the big night at the Academy Awards.
Uh back in Tennessee, Al Gore told a crowd of about 50 people at the U.S. Media Ethics Summit.
50 people.
Attending a summit on ethics in the media.
Fifty people.
He told them that the presentation's single most provocative slide was one that contrasts results of two long-term studies, his movie, slim uh slideshow.
A ten-year University of California study found that essentially zero percent of peer-reviewed scientific journal articles disagreed that global warming exists.
Uh, whereas another study found 53% of mainstream newspaper articles disagreed that global warming premise.
He noted that uh recently the intergovernmental panel on climate change released its fourth unanimous report calling on world leaders to take action.
Here's what he said.
He says, I believe that it is uh one of the principal reasons why political leaders around the world have not yet taken action.
Well, there are many reasons, but one of the principal reasons, in my view, is that more than half the mainstream media have rejected the scientific consensus implicitly, and I say rejected, that's maybe the wrong word.
They have failed to report that it is the consensus and instead have chosen balance as bias.
Al Gore is essentially saying that the drive-by media should stop reporting on any skepticism about global warming, that that represents bias.
That there is consensus now, and it's only a few stragglers who don't believe.
And to report both sides is bias.
This from one of the reputedly smartest guys in the world.
Reporting both sides of an issue is bias.
According to Al Gore.
What does this tell you?
These are Stalinist tactics.
He can't deal with the fact that there is opposition, and he doesn't want you knowing about it.
And here's that dirty little word consensus again.
I'm telling you, ask any legitimate scientist.
Scientist, this simple question is science based on consensus.
And an honest, legitimate science will tell you no.
Science is not up for a vote.
That is all the power this movement has the so-called consensus.
You may have heard this reported a number of times in recent months.
And I have this from National Gre uh National Geographics website.
Simultaneous warnings on Earth and Mars suggest that our planet's recent climate changes have a natural and not a human-induced cause, according to one scientist's controversial theory.
One science, scientist controversial theory is that the sun plays a major role.
That is what's controversial in the global warming movement, that the sun, the only source of energy in our planet, the only source of heat, the only source of any energy at all.
The sun reporting that that may be a factor in how warm or cold it is is controversial.
That's how out of whack this whole movement is.
Earth currently experiencing rapid warming, supposedly, which the vast majority of climate scientists say is due to humans pumping huge amounts of pollution in the air.
But Mars, too, appears to be enjoying more mild and balmy temperatures.
Why?
In 2005, data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide ice caps near Mars' South Pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row.
Here is global warming on Mars.
Now there aren't any humans there.
But I this would be a huge stretch, but I wouldn't be surprised if they blame it on the global surveyor.
And if they blame it on these Odyssey men, that we've put machines up there and are traveling around, going all over the Mars surface, and that's creating a bunch of pollution that we men and women on the Earth, scientists, NASA, we're the ones responsible for the warming on Mars.
Uh the I s I'm I'm I'm I'm uh really curious as to if I'm gonna maintain sanity uh during the length of time this this debate uh is going to be going on.
This is this is this is so obviously one of the biggest scams to come from the left, and it's so typical of every other scam that they've run.
Uh for the LA Times today, a vast undersea wedge of gravel and grit holds the ice streams of West Antarctica in place like a doorstop, even as rising seas caused by global warming threaten to undermine them.
Damn it, why these wedges of gravel and grit are not giving way.
They ought to be giving way, damn it.
The Antarctic ought to be disintegrating before our very eyes, but it's not.
West Antarctica encompasses enough frozen fresh water, seven million cubic miles, to raise sea levels worldwide sixteen feet if it's ice sheet disintegrate.
Does anybody predict that Antarctica's west glaciers are going to disintegrate?
For crying out loud, you people, it is time to get with the program here.
This is getting ridiculous every day, more and more so.
And the extremes to which these consensus builders are going to convince you is bordering on the sublime.
In a sense, this new finding about the undersea wedge of gravel and grit is a measure of how much researchers have yet to learn about a remote continent of ice miles thick that is still responding to the end of the last ice age, 10,000 years ago.
Meaning they can't predict anything.
Every time we look at the ice sheet, we find something new, said some guy.
Understanding these mysteries will be necessary to predict the Behavior of global warming.
So now they've got to figure out how to predict the behavior of the great ice sheet, which they can't figure out.
Hang in there, rushes.
We'll get better.
We'll get better.
We always try to take more phone calls on Open Line Friday, and to that end, we uh go to Carl who's calling from uh near Chicago.
Hi, Carl, thanks for waiting and welcome.
Well, thanks a lot, Rush.
Good to talk to you.
Thank you, sir.
I heard you talk about the uh the half hour news uh satire show for Sundays.
Uh I was I thought they did two pilots and th the second pilot's gonna run.
Who makes the decision to make other pilots?
How what's the life of the show?
Well here's uh let me give you the lowdown on this.
By the way, speaking of which, I'm getting deluged with emails from people.
Rush, the the clip is on YouTube, but it's linked on your website.
No, ladies and gentlemen, that's the old one.
Uh that's the clip from episode one.
Episode two, which airs Sunday night at 10 o'clock, has a brand new skit featuring me as president that opens the show.
I was told that was going to be uploaded to YouTube yesterday, but I can't find it yet.
It's not there.
Uh so that there are two of them, and you you know we've linked to the first one, obviously.
We're still keeping a sharp eye out for it.
Here's here's what happens.
Produce two pilots.
The second one airs at 10 PM Sunday.
Uh the shows have to generate a certain rating in order for further episodes to be ordered.
The rating, of course, will determine uh spot rates.
The program has a cost, uh the cost has to be met, little profit thrown in.
So it all depends on on how well they rate uh as to whether more episodes will be ordered.
Uh I I uh look, I'm a little I'm privy to a little bit of this that I I can't I can't repeat right now.
The the I mean the the process of getting it on the air has been something that's been going on a long, long time, and there are other factors involved.
I have no clue whether it's gonna get picked up, by the way.
I don't know that.
Uh but it uh all I know is that uh you know it it got great it got great pre-publicity before the first episode aired two weeks ago.
It got uh tremendous uh uh audience response the first night.
They'll see what happens to on Sunday night and uh and probably go from there.
But if if it works, then what'll happen is there'll be an order for thirteen more episodes.
Well, is the show sponsored?
No.
It does not well, that's tra it does not have a dedicated sponsor.
I mean, the the Fox News channel has gone out and sold advertising in the program.
Uh but but here's here's the difference with this.
This is a program produced off-site.
This is not a this program produced in Los Angeles.
Uh all Fox programming is produced in-house with existing Fox talent, existing Fox cameras, equipment studios, and so forth.
So the cost of doing a native show on the Fox News channel, Zilch was ALES producing any of it or have much to do with the uh creative writing or the No, no.
Roger Roger's not involved in any of that aspect.
He's uh he's uh but he is the decision maker.
Well, Olderman and others are having a ball with it, and the good news there is uh they're watching.
Well, uh everybody I mean everybody in the cable news universe watched it.
That that's that's and they then they poked they poked holes at it and so forth, and it got as I say it, even got some favorable reviews from uh from liberal uh uh reviewers.
It uh uh it's I I don't know what's going to happen with it, uh, but I that I would love to see it get it picked up.
Obviously, it's got as I as I told you last time that w the first episode aired, and a lot of people said, Well, yeah, I like it, but it was too generic.
I could have written more timely scripts.
And I said, Hey, you gotta understand these things are produced six weeks before they air.
Uh there's no way to be issue specific.
They had to evergreen them.
Uh the the second episode is much the same.
It's uh it's got a lot of evergreen in it and not a whole lot of issue specificity to it, even though I think it's it's uh uh it's uh it's a funnier episode.
Uh and I'm glad it's gonna we'll just have to see what happens with it on Sunday night.
Oh good to hear it.
All right.
Thank you.
All right, Carl, appreciate it.
This is Laura in Grand Island, Nebraska.
I'm glad you waited.
Open line Friday.
The program's all yours, so make it count.
Okay, Rush.
I have been a Democrat since I was twenty-one years old.
I've listened to you, and sometimes if I could get through the wire, I'd absolutely strangle you because I don't agree with everything.
But I just moved and I had to re-register, you know.
And by listening to you and all, I had registered as a Republican.
Yes.
Now my problem is this.
When Nancy Pelosi took over, you know, Speaker of the House, I knew we were gonna have problems.
Because any grandmother that cannot ha uh control her grandchildren.
Like the kid was, you know, playing with the microphone and uh the little a hammer, you know, and everything and the papers, and she kept pulling up.
I knew we were in trouble.
She couldn't control a little bit.
Never ceases to amaze me to learn how people make political judgments on the competence of elected lead.
You you knew that she was gonna bomb because she couldn't control the grandkids in the house chamber.
That's right.
That was that was absolutely embarrassing.
I felt embarrassed for her.
But that's the drive-by media was talking about how wonderful this was that she could balance and bop the little grandkids on her knee while protecting the country at the same time.
Right.
She couldn't even protect the microphone or her papers.
But I gotta tell you something else.
You owe me an apology.
While I was sitting here waiting to talk to you, you had to play that tape of Jim Carver.
And I can't stand to watch him, let alone listen to him.
So I shouldn't have said that, but that's true.
That's uh that's that's quite all right.
We're you know, so we love Jim Carver here and we play a lot of his audio and he's fun to laugh at.
Uh but were you and I disagreed is that just because you know I was a Democrat doesn't mean that I'm uh uh an illiterate liberal.
Yes, it does.
Yes, it does.
Nine out of ten times it does.
There are some there are some Southern Democrats, Reagan Democrats, there are some Democrats, but why are they Democrats?
Yeah, well, I was from uh Missouri and my grandpa was, my dad was, my mom was.
Well I know people are Democrats because the family members were.
You still want to crawl through the wire and strangle me.
Whenever you said about all the Democrats being illiterate and and and liberal because we aren't all that way.
I never said that.
Yes, you have.
No, I've never said a democratic.
But you have implied it.
I think you heard No, I've not implied that they're illiterate.
I've implied that we don't have good judgment.
That's true, but that's not illiterate.
Yeah.
Okay.
My You're confusing me with James Carver.
Yeah.
But I I can't believe it.
The first time I tried to call you and I got through.
Well, I'm glad you did.
It's happy to have you on the reservation.
So thank you for everything.
I'll probably continue to disagree on some things.
Like what?
I you know, I don't know.
See, you're not I don't know.
You're not gonna disagree on much.
You're not gonna disagree.
You just you just you just think you should, uh, on uh as a matter of principle because you're a democrat and I'm not.
Well, you know, I'm a great grandmother, and I'm very proud.
I'm a very young great-grandmother.
But I think if we have a woman in as a president and all, I mean, just because her name is Clinton doesn't mean she's, you know, the wonderful person.
I'm sure she is.
But she's I don't think uh you know, people the other uh uh heads of state and that you know of different countries, they just they kind of back off whenever they have to talk to a woman.
You know, that's more or less a man's job, I feel.
Well I'm from it's not that's that's that's not universal.
I mean, people talk Condoleezza Rice.
Uh but I'll tell you what this indicates uh to me out there, Laura, and that is that if Mrs. Clinton gets a nomination, the idea that women are gonna vote for her in droves is uh uh uh wrong.
I mean it she's gonna have a lot of women opposed to her for a whole host of reasons, among them jealousy.
Um Jerry in Webb, Iowa.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Uh good morning, uh good afternoon, I guess, uh Megadeth.
It's afternoon now.
Thanks for holding on.
Okay.
Uh good afternoon, Rush Mega ethanol Ditto's from Buried in a March Blizzard, Iowa.
Yeah.
And God bless Charles and Heston.
You heard that and you liked that.
Oh, I love that.
That was fabulous.
Okay.
Uh My point is talking about ethanol, you know, and I'm a corn producer and I'm benefiting from ethanol production.
And I'm a long ways from an environmental lapo.
And I didn't like to be lumped in the same group as an environmental environmental laptop.
I haven't.
I haven't lumped the corn producers in it.
Okay.
A couple things.
You're for the most part, you're right on about ethanol.
Ethanol can only be a big thing.
And yet you're calling to disagree with me.
Well, I am disagreeing about the point.
Ethanol is cheaper to boost to produce than a gallon of gasoline.
Now, now no, no.
Now, now look, but you wouldn't have ethanol if you'd have the gasoline first.
Can you hang on here because I know where you're going, I want to wrap this up, but I got to take a break.
Okay.
All right.
Talk to you in the afternoon.
Hey, I feel like we're in the NBA All-Star game here.
All except the gunshots.
All right, we go back to uh Webb Iowa and Jerry, and uh you're you're a corn producer, therefore you're uh big on on ethanol, and you're you were upset that I equated you with an environmentalist wacko, and I didn't.
Okay.
Uh along with that, you know, selling it, there's a other side to a carbon credit.
I'm getting paid for my carbon credits also.
But that's another story.
Going back to ethanol, the cost of production.
Right now, if price of barrel remains above $40 a gallon or a barrel, and that the present price of corn, uh, ethanol will still continue to be, you know, uh economically feasible.
Okay.
Yeah.
And you know, once again, uh obviously it changes.
Uh the first second thing is this is the first time in ten years, you know, that I've been paid a raise the price for corn.
So, yeah, uh, ethanol is not going to not answer the whole world, but it's good for somebody.
I understand that.
You know, that there's a great lesson here.
When the when when when domestic oil prices plunge to the 18 to 12, $10 a barrel uh uh mark back in the eighties, the domestic oil producers got killed.
But the consumers made out like bandits.
Absolutely.
So there's always uh, you know, the uh in in all news, economic, uh social coaches, there's always good news a company's bad.
There uh very rarely is it all or totally one way or the other.
My my problem with with ethanol uh is not not so much what it is is that it's being sold it's being sold as a panacea.
It's being sold as an alternative fuel.
It's not.
Use a gasoline, and it's got its own inherent problems.
Uh storage and and uh transportation and and so forth.
And it is it's it's to me there's a there's a lot of irony in this because the left, which is pushing all of this, uh, is is traditionally occupied the sacred ground of being the ones who have all the compassion for the nation's poor and the world's poor, and the downtrodden, the hungry, the thirsty, the distracted, all the whole bunch.
And uh the only their prescriptions uh will do wonderfully magical things to help people of downtrodden status rise above those obstacles in their way and become prosperous and affluent, which is absolute bunk.
So here they come.
Well, this brand new thing on ethanol, and it uh is caused the price of corn to skyrocket, which is fine.
You love it.
You just mentioned it.
You gotta raise your price for the first time in ten years.
I'm happy for you.
Meanwhile, in Mexico, a tortilla is now four bucks or three bucks, and the weekly salary is four bucks.
Guess what?
They're gonna be coming up here.
There's gonna be riots in the third world over the price of corn.
It's a major food stock for much of the oppressed world, as it is for the even for the uh for the third for the first world.
And and so all of these unintended consequences.
So they might be some marginal benefit, marginal, marginal, marginal environmental benefit uh to all of this.
There's gonna be death, destruction, and riots on the part of the very people the left seems to think we need to save.
And of course, it's our global warming and our pollution which's destroying these pristine poor, downtrodden, way stuck back three centuries old environments and communities that these people live in.
And my problem is uh that I I s I just I I have a frustration over how easy it is to smell sell snake oil to people in supposedly the most educated country in the world.
I mean, if you want to use ethanol, if you want to buy it, go and do so.
Be my guest.
But don't think you're saving the planet in the process because you are not.
And then all the other ancillaries that descend from this, everybody's gonna be forced to do it.
It's it's it's it's as an alternative fuel, it's it's uh it's it's bogus.
I know you're gonna call people gonna say about Russia.
Well, what what what South American country is totally ethanol?
Brazil.
There's some country that's always cited to me, and they've been doing great with it.
I'm fine.
Yeah.
Brazil, they use sugar for it.
Fine and dandy.
Uh whoopee do.
I don't hear anybody blaming Brazil for global warming.
Uh but it will reduce it will reduce uh the use of fossil fuel thrust and it will reduce our imports of foreign oil from people who fund and pay for terrorists.
And that's why, Mr. Limbaugh, we must move forward.
I did some research.
I can't remember what I read.
I wish I could remember the uh the the quote.
But if this whole country went to ethanol, it would affect like eight percent of the oil that is used, which is zilch.
And but but then that that number would decrease every year as usage increases and so forth.
So look, I've not I've got no quarrel with you guys in the in the corn uh agriculture business being able to raise your prices and so forth.
I'm my my objection here is the continued selling of snake oil to people uh who get in this stuff and that they think that they're making a dramatic improvement in the world and the lifestyles of uh other Americans are reducing pollution uh and uh and all this other stuff.
Well, it's just it's just smoke and mirrors.
Bob in Shreeport, Louisiana.
Welcome to the program.
It's great to have you with us.
Rush?
Yeah.
Rush Limbaugh.
Yes.
Man, I'm I'm on first wreck here.
Uh uh Rudy Giuliani.
Uh he he has proven to be he can well, I'm a little shook up here.
I told Snerdley that uh I was a born-again Christian, pro-second amendment, uh pro-life who believes that Rudy Julian.
Do you believe in tax cuts?
You believe in tax cuts?
Do I believe in tax cuts?
Are you kidding?
I think we ought to abolish the tax system.
So what do you think about global warming?
I'm just trying to get your profile here.
Oh, I'm not a similar alcoholer, I promise.
Uh uh global warming.
What about Oh, no, no, I'm not a you're not a seminar caller.
You're giving me your qualifications.
I'm trying to establish them further.
Okay, okay.
What do you want me to tell you about global warming?
No, what you you believe it or not.
Uh the last figure I heard was point something of a Celsius degree rise in the last sixty years or something something like that, uh, from a true scientist that wasn't brainwashed, that didn't that was not being funded by the government, that was from private.
Okay, you're okay, you're good to go.
What what what was it that you wanted to say about Rudy?
Uh that he's the man I want to vote for for president of the United States.
I want him to run our country.
Um I I have a great fear that the terrorists uh we're sitting over here fat and happy and spoiled, but the bombs haven't started dropping here yet.
And we need someone who is uh capable of leading under pressure.
Rudy Giuliani, I don't care about his personal beliefs.
He has expressed the fact that he believes in law and he believes in uh uh constructionist judges for to interpret the Constitution.
Did you see his talk at Stanford University from C SPAN last week?
Did I see his talk at Stanford?
No, I haven't seen his talk at Stanford University.
He called me, talked to me about it, but I uh didn't see it, didn't see the speech.
He wants to put judges out there that will interpret the Constitution with what I've done.
I've heard about that.
I've I've without injecting his personal beliefs.
I've I've I've heard it, yes, he's he said that.
We always talk about activist politicians and we talk about activist judges, but we never talk about uh act uh people who can actually leave.
Well, look, I'm I'm looking I'm I'm glad you're for Rudy.
I understand why you're saying you're for Rudy.
Uh you, by the way, are proof that Rudy's strategy is working.
Uh one last thing before we go.
Well, no, no, no, you're you're you're yeah, well, what is it?
Just real quick, I I don't know how much that more time I have.
I have to tell you that you once told me you once said it's your grandfather touched people that touched Abraham Lincoln.
You remember saying that?
Yes.
And now I have talked to a great American that has talked to some of the greatest Americans in this country.
Well, you're vo you're very kind, so you flagged the big thing.
This is compliment therapy.
Well, really.
I I'm saying that because he knows I'm not good at accepting compliments.
He wants to make sure that I know that he's I appreciate that.
That's that's I understand your humility.
You have a talent, a gift from God, and you're humble about it.
Uh well, I appreciate your recognizing that too.
Few people do, but I I appreciate your recognizing that.
Have a great day, Roger.
You're a great American, and I'm glad you called.
I'm very flattered.
Uh he proves Rudy's strategy is working on the judges.
I have I have explained that.
You know, Rudy was the Republican base, has got a problem in that he is openly pro-life.
So what Rudy has done in order to handle this is say, well, yeah, I am, and I have always been, but I I I think it's crazy that there's Roe versus Wade.
A Rose's way is a lot rotten law.
We need to have a democratic decision on this rather than a bunch of judges deciding what is morally right and morally wrong.
People need to decide this.
And in that sense, I'm going to appoint strict constructionists to the court.
I like Roberts and I like uh Scalia.
And I'm going to appoint other judges like that.
Well, the the the message that he wants conveyed is that he'll appoint enough judges that will overturn Roe versus Wade despite his uh his uh personal view on it, and uh that is evidence that uh Rudy's strategy is working, uh at least with him and probably with some other voters as well.
Let's take a brief call, uh timeout, folks, and more calls coming up right after this.
Back to the phones, we go to Becky in the uh hometown of Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, well, maybe not hometown, but he's there.
Becky, how are you?
I'm doing great.
Is this right?
Terrific.
I'm glad you called.
Yeah, this is this is Rush.
I'm sorry, yes.
Oh hey, Russ.
Um, I just called to say thank you because um I'm 22 and I was raised Southern Democrat.
Um every member of my family is probably Democrat.
But I think you uh listening to your show, I've been able to reform my ways and uh I get a lot of good information, and I'm now a Republican.
Well, more importantly, are you a conservative?
Um not so much.
I'm definitely not a liberal.
I guess I consider myself.
Well, look, if you're not moderate, if you're not a liberal, you're conservative.
There is a there is a there there's an axiom.
This is a truth of life.
Uh-huh.
Any person or organization who is by definition not conservative is or will become a liberal.
And the converse is true.
So if if if so you are you are conservative, and we welcome you to the fold.
Thank you.
And I'm happy to take credit for it.
How did this how did this happen?
Um, actually, it would be thanks to my boyfriend.
Um I thought it was thanks to me.
Well, he introduced me to your show.
I think every morning.
Yes.
He listened to your show every morning, and I at first when I started listening to you, um really didn't agree with anything going on, and then I started to read the news a little bit more and take more interest in what was going on, and it really did teach me a lot.
So you people are making my day today.
Look at all the converts we've got out there.
Look at all the converts that are happening here all over the place.
It's great.
Becky, thanks for the call.
Uh I appreciate it.
I try to squeeze as many people in here as possible, so we move on to Vincent, who is 15 in Bayscript, Texas.
Hello.
Um, yes, I was just wondering.
I'm 15 years old and I was wondering.
Uh this is global warming, right?
And all I hear about is America and how they're going crazy and all the liberals in America and how they're going crazy about global warming.
Right.
Uh the question is uh is global what other countries are like involved in it.
It's it's a it's actually a good question.
Uh around the world, you can go to Great Britain and you know the liberals there are are sounding the same alarms.
Uh the socialist uh democracies of Western Europe are all sounding the same alarms.
However, their focus, their the the finger pointing is basically at us.
Because they don't drive big SUVs.
They drive little, you know, these this bubble cars and these uh lawnmores with uh with a couple doors and a roof on top.
Yeah.
Uh uh we're the targets of this.
The primary polluters in the world are exempt, for example, from the Kyoto Protocol, China being uh the lead.
Uh this is this is an effort to pickpocket the United States to get our money to tax us to blame us.
Uh we are the most advanced civilization, and thus we are mostly to blame.
Uh we have the most technological advancement, we've got the most industrialized uh uh uh economy, we are the targets, and you don't see other people being blamed.
And I I don't know how big an issue it is, for example, down in Colombia uh or Brazil, Argentina, or any of that.
Uh but but that that that's because the left in this country, in consort with the United Nations and the Western European Socialists, um that this is just their their latest rallying cry uh to point fingers of blame at the United States.
It's no it's no different than um uh when they were trying to scare everybody to death over the uh forthcoming nuclear uh Holocaust because of Reagan in the White House.
Of course, the Soviets were the good guys, Gorbachev was the savior.
It was Reagan that was going to blow us all up.
Um it's it's it's predominantly uh politically an American issue.
And of course, the drive-by media are pure sycophants.
The drive-by media challenge, not one assertion.
Here we've got the state of Iowa, most of the state of Iowa been declared a disaster area because of blizzards.
A global warming seminar sponsored by Minnesota Public Radio canceled last night because of a blizzard in Minnesota, where they're used to getting a lot of snow.
Not one story in the drive-by media about maybe this might mean is no global warming going on.
Not one.
You wait.
This is March, and I guarantee you before this month is out, somewhere in this country there's going to be a record high temperature or close to it.
And they're gonna zero in on it.
And they're gonna say this is global warming, and this is evidence of it.
They're gonna totally forget about the fact we've had these blizzards, record cold, uh all the accidents related to it, as contravening the theory of uh global warming.
Uh they uh just it's it's it's the the media is in the tank on this.
Uh nobody else is really to blame for it of Vincent but us.
This is uh is it Rain or Ryan?
Ryan in Vancouver, Washington.
Hi.
How's it going?
Yeah.
Uh um I just wanted to ask you if um if you think the Libs are going to get control.
Um if they do, I'm saying, which I hope to God I don't, because I'm I'm a conservative, but make a long story short.
Uh I'm just wondering if you think they could control our government or our country, you think that our cunt our democracy, our government will fail in the next twenty-five years, which I hope to God it doesn't.
Uh do I think democracy will fail, meaning will we lose freedoms and so forth the democratic form of government?
Exactly.
Yes.
No, they won't be in control for 25 years.
Okay, that's good.
They're so they're sowing.
Now, look, it's always under threat.
This is I I don't I don't mean to treat this in a haphazard way.
Uh assaults on freedom and democracy are constantly happening, and they are mounted by liberals.
Oh, yes.
Global warming is a s is a is a great example of this.
Um but but but no, the the things are cyclical.
They will uh they're they're gonna lose elections.
They're setting themselves right now for a huge landslide defeat.
Exactly.
Uh I uh look at uh the we we conservatives are are are very cheerful.
We're optimistic people.
Um we recognize the threats that we face every day, particularly posed by domestic enemies.
You know, we're we're fighting two wars here.
We're fighting the war against terror, and we're fighting the war against the left uh in this country, which is hell-bent on getting rid of as much freedom and liberty as possible in exchange for a larger government with more regulation.
They think that's fair.
They think that's uh it would end up with a more equitable, equitable uh distribution of assets and so forth and so on.
It's constantly under threat.
Uh but I guarantee every generation has thought we're going to hell in a handbasket uh during their time that we've always been in the last days, defined as the end of America, or they've always thought things have never been worse.
But uh there's more and more people are beginning to ask questions like you.
More and more people are conservative and are going to hold on.
But it's you know, you get illegal immigration.
There are a lot of issues that threaten this, and and you can you play a role here in uh in stopping the tide.
Uh it's the it's the natural, seems like an natural perquisite of uh of government and and large bureaucracies to grow and grow and grow and to do so to deny people freedom, property rights, and this sort of thing.
And they're working on the young skulls full of mush in school on that basis, too.
But uh have faith.
As long as you're vigilant, millions and millions others are, breaking points are always reached where they're not gonna put up with it anymore, and the libs are dispatched for a while.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Uh, don't forget uh second episode, half hour news hour, 10 PM Sunday night on the Fox News Channel.
We'll see you on Monday.
Hope you have a great weekend out there, my friends.
