Time Text
The views expressed by the hosts on this program make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying.
A, because I'm better than anybody else out there, and B, because the views expressed by the host on this program are rooted in a daily relentless, unstoppable pursuit of the truth.
Rushlin bought a program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Here we are at 800 282-2882 and the email address rush at eIBNet.com.
Now I know that some of you people in this audience uh question the value of uh higher education, particularly uh an expensive higher education.
More and more people beginning to wonder whether it's really worth it.
And I want you to rethink it after this story.
When John Cornwell graduated from Duke University last year, he landed a job as a software engineer in Atlanta, but soon found himself longing for his college lifestyle.
So the engineering graduate built himself a reminder of life on campus, a refrigerator that can toss a can of beer to his couch with a click of a remote control.
Yeah, I conceived it right after I got out of college, uh said Cornwell, a graduate in May of 2006.
Uh he's from Huntington, New York.
I miss the college scene.
It embodies the college spirit that I didn't want to let go of.
He's 22 years old, took him about 150 hours and 400 in parts to modify a mini fridge, common to many college dorm rooms into the beer tossing contraption, which can launch ten cans of beer from its magazine before needing a reload.
So if you're out there questioning the value of a higher education, don't.
You just see this thing.
Um in fact, there's a link here to see it.
I haven't I haven't hit the link yet.
Uh how it works is it with it with it with it with a click of the remote, fashion from a car's keyless entry device, uh small elevator, small elevator inside the refrigerator, lifts a beer can through a hole and loads it into the catapult arm.
A second click of the remote fires the device, tossing the beer up to 20 feet far enough to get it to the couch.
Is there a foam explosion when the cans open?
Not if the recipient uses soft hands to cradle a can when he catches it, said uh Cornwell.
In developing uh his beer catapult, Cornwell said he dented a few walls and came close to accidentally throwing a can through his television.
He's since fine-tuned the machine to land a beer where he usually sits at home on what he called a right angle couch system.
Now, for now the machine only throws cans, although he's thought about making a version that can throw a bottle.
Uh the mo that can be problematic.
The most beer he has run through the machine was at a party when he launched a couple of 24 can cases.
I did launch a lot watching the Super Bowl.
My friends are the reason I built it.
I told them about the idea, hyped it so much I had to go through with it.
A video featuring the device is a hit on the internet.
More than 600,000 people have watched it at uh Metacafe.com, earning Cornwell more than $3,000 on the website.
And it only cost him $400 in parts in 150 hours.
The value of a higher education.
We've had an accumulating global warming stack for the past couple of days.
Let's get to it.
Crazy world of Arthur Brown.
And the wicked witch of from wherever.
And one of three tunes in our global warming update theme.
By the way, before we get to the global warming stack, uh a quick question is you know, we opened the program an hour ago with news.
Kate Michaelman, big time pro-abortion babe, formerly of Nay Raoul, pro-Choice America, has been out there saying that of all the candidates, the guy best oriented for women's issues at John Edwards, uh which prompted a headline today in the New York Sun, will John Edwards be the first female president, which is typical with Democrats.
Bill Clinton's broken down the barrier of being the first black president.
Bill Richardson, if he uh were to be elected president, we've decided we'll be the first North Korean president since whatever you are is not what you will be when you are elected president.
But so Edwards would be the first female president, first woman president in the country, Mrs. Bill Clinton would not be.
Inquiring minds have asked, well, we've we're asking ourselves this.
Who would design and make uh Edward's inaugural gown?
Uh and some say it couldn't have Vera Wang do it.
Edwards may not qualify for a Vera Wang uh model.
You're listening to this, Ann Coulter.
Uh but there are plenty of other uh designers out there that the Breck girl could use uh to design his inaugural gown.
Anyway, from Canada, the University of Waterloo Weather Station says it's the coldest February they have ever tracked.
By the way, they had to cancel another global warming hearing in Washington yesterday because of a snowstorm.
The Roanoke, Virginia Times, quote, we may be living in cold historic times.
This has been the coldest February on record at Roanoke, Virginia.
Nature always gets the last word.
Al Gore and his carbon offsets, the inconvenient truth uh uh propag proper propy, uh, all of these all this hysteria out there on global warming, and it is freezing.
It was twelve degrees in New York yesterday.
It was a record at JFK two days ago, thirteen degrees, breaking the previous record set in 2003.
So the cold continues.
From the UK's Daily Mail, Global Warming, the bogus religion of our age.
This is a column by Professor Richard Lindzen, uh, who is a professor of meteorology at MIT.
Why, he is a scientist.
Why?
He's an MIT scientist.
Well, he's a professor of meteology at MIT, and he doesn't believe global warming is man-made.
A scientist who disagrees with the consensus.
How can this be?
Uh I'm, of course, particularly personally excited to see this religion component of global warming pick up steam.
Uh, the first person to make this analogy was Michael Crichton, brilliantly so, in one of his many speeches, and the comparisons that uh that he makes to global warming is a religion and all other articles of faith is profound, and it inspired an equally profound monologue by me on the same subject some weeks ago, which is always available at Rushlinbaugh.com.
Let me just share with you some of the closing paragraphs of Richard Lindzen's piece in the Daily Mail.
Genuine science is about gathering evidence and testing the veracity of theories, not cheerleading for a particular ideology.
And that's what's so disturbing about the current debate on global warming.
Healthy skepticism, which should be at the heart of all scientific inquiries, treated with contempt.
Far from being the powerful masterpiece that uh uh Tony Blair claimed, the report by a guy named Stern, who's referenced earlier in the piece, is manifestly incompetent.
It is another dodgy dossier where assertions are presented as fact and data is twisted to suit a political purpose.
I agree with the economist critic who noted if a student of mine were to hand in this report, the UN report, as a master's thesis.
Perhaps if I were in a good mood, I'd give him a D for diligence, but more likely I would give him an F for fail.
We are shifting away from science and into the realm of religious fanaticism, where the followers of the creed brimming with self-righteous fury believe that they are in possession of a higher truth.
Like a religion, environmentalism is suffused with hatred for the material world, and again, like religion, it requires devotion rather than intellectual rigor for its adherents.
It is intolerant of dissent.
Those who question the message of doom are regarded as heretics or climate change deniers to use green parlance.
And just as in many religions, the route to personal salvation lies in the performance of superstitious rituals, such as changing a light bulb or arranging for a tree to be planted for every airplane journey.
What is so tragic is the way that this dubious ideology has achieved such dominance in our public life.
Politicians love the green agenda, of course, because it means more control.
It means more regulation.
It means more taxes, means more summits, and more opportunities for displays of self-important zeal.
The tragedy is that the likes of Sir Nicholas Stern are using bogus science to push forward this agenda.
This is Dr. or Professor Richard Lenzen, uh professor of meteorology at MIT.
By the way, for those of you in Rio Linda, the uh meteorology is not the study of meteors.
It's study of weather.
A lot of people get confused about this who have not benefited from a higher education.
He questions or laments that it is tragic the way this dubious ideology has achieved such dominance in our public life.
It's not, it's not mystifying at all.
It's not curious at all.
It is reaching such status.
Well, it's tragic, though.
He's right about that.
It is uh easy to explain.
Uh it's it's a typical tactic used by the left.
It is fear.
It focuses on the young.
You play Al Gore's movie in uh in grade school and junior high and high school classrooms, and the kids get scared to death.
You show pictures misleading people about polar bears dying, and little kids get, oh, we're killing the animal, Mom, we're killing the animal, we gotta stop it.
Little kids watch this movie, they come home and they're tell their parents, I'm getting emails from them.
What can I tell my kids?
Rush, they've come home, they've seen the Al Gore movie and they're scared to death and think we're destroying the planet.
Uh so you target the young and you use fear.
Uh it's just like it's just like the uh uh the old uh threat of a nuclear holocaust, so forth.
Remember, I remember this when I was growing up in the 50s when I was uh, you know, not yet ten years old.
We had these drills.
We had to actually hide under our little desks in order to replicate what we should do if a nuclear bomb went off.
Hide under the desk.
Duck and cover.
This sort of thing.
Well, how absurd, how ridiculous was that.
But and then we had backyard bomb shelters.
Uh and of course, that was a more legitimate threat, given the Soviet Union and so forth than this global warming business.
That would be immediate destruction.
Nobody is calling immediate destruction of anything, even the biggest proponents.
They're giving themselves so many years that they cannot be accused of being wrong with within anybody's lifetime here.
Uh it's it's it's perfectly understandable how this stuff works with me.
You get people, you make it part of the education establishment.
You teach it with authority, not as a theory and not as an idea, but something that is actually happening, and people will just slough it up.
People want doom and gloom.
They want to be told uh and they some people love being guilty.
I I don't understand this, but some people almost take virtue in being guilty of doing horrible things because it gives them a chance to repent, gives them a chance to overcome, gives them a chance to change their ways and do something right, feel good about themselves.
For some reason, people love being told they're to blame for disaster.
They're to blame for tumult and chaos.
It's um it's it's human nature.
And as passive and as weak a society as is evolving in this country.
With priorities all out of whack.
It makes uh perfect sense to me how this stuff is sold.
But I'm gonna taste and I think we're in the process of rolling it back.
There is more and more scientific outburst in opposition to this, and more and more people are starting to question it, and people are starting to make fun of the changing of light bulbs in the Al Gore movie and so forth.
So this is not going to be the slam dunk that they thought, and that's why Al Gore had to go out the other day and say, hey, look, any news that presents both sides of this is biased because there isn't a second side.
He actually said that on Tuesday after the Academy Awards, uh the national uh uh uh well, no, the NOAA group, the satellite and information service, the National Climate Data Center, uh, has summarized February.
The average temperature in February 2007, 32.9 Fahrenheit.
That is minus 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees cooler than the 1901 to 2000 twentieth century average, the 34th coolest February in 113 years.
The temperature trend for the period of record, 1895 to the present, is 0.3 degrees Fahrenheit per decade.
It's freezing out there.
A cold, cold February everywhere.
And nobody is saying, well, what does this mean for global warming?
What does this mean?
This, if, yeah, I guarantee you, when we get to June and July, and we have a couple places in the country that are a little hotter than normal.
Global warming, global warming, global warming.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But here we've got people freezing their tushes.
And nobody in the drive-by media, and nobody in the global warming crowds, eh, what about this?
Uh because if it's this cold, and if we're destroying the planet, and if it's a crisis, how can this be happening, folks?
Your guiding light.
Times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, torture, humiliation, global warming crises, and even the good times.
Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone.
In um in news from the global warming stack, as I say, been accumulating the past couple days, uh, and we didn't get a chance to get to it because of the scooter libby verdict and uh post-verdict analysis.
And by the way, do you hear that two ver two jurors have now called for Libby to be pardoned?
Uh one of them, well, both of them appeared last night on uh PMSNBC is hard to take.
Uh what was uh Anna Reddington is in her name?
Yeah, and uh this other guy uh uh Dennis Collins uh both think that Libby should be pardoned.
They just felt sorry for these.
This is such a nice guy.
They heard him in eight hours of uh grand jury testimony, and Anna Reddington said, you know, it's just it's just a shame that we didn't get to get get to decide about the original crime.
Anna.
Uh and by the way, Matthews and uh Howard Feynman last night were falling all over themselves.
And she's a nice woman.
I but I mean they were just they were doing everything but lick her last night.
But I have to say, Anna, there wasn't a crime here.
That's what's so absurd about this.
The thing about this whole trial was that there wasn't a crime.
The trial was not about that crime that you keep referring to.
There was no crime in leaking the name Valerie Plame.
Otherwise, somebody would have been charged with it.
Armitage.
Nobody, nobody there's no crime.
It was a pure process crime.
So he had no chance of uh being able to be a juror on that trial.
Uh anyway, we've got her audio sound bites coming up.
According to Peetle, uh that's people for the uh uh uh ethical treatment of animals.
Uh on March the 6th, a couple days ago, they sent a letter to former vice president Al Gore explaining to him that the best way to fight global warming is to go vegetarian, and they offered to cook him faux fried chicken as an introduction to meat-free meals.
In its letter, Peter points out that Gore's film, An Inconvenient Truth, which starkly outlines the potential catastrophe of global warming and just won the epidemic award for best documentary, has failed to address the fact that the meat industry is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, i.e.
cows.
In the letter, Peter points out the following: the effect that our meat addiction is having on a climate's truly staggering.
In fact, in its recent report, Livestock's Long Shadow Environmental Issues and Options, the UN determined that raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the world combined.
Hell, have you seen Al Gore lately?
He's not going to go vegan or vegetarian, nor is he going to stop eating beef, and the last thing he wants is a liberal group out there telling him the thrust of his movie and propaganda misses the point.
And we are back.
One more item.
Actually, a couple more, but we'll spread them out.
One more item here from the uh global warming stack.
You've heard of green cars, green tourism, green weddings.
Now Canadians should ready themselves for green sex.
For those who like to make love to the soundtrack of the global warming documentary, an inconvenient truth.
My Lord.
Are there such people?
I can't.
You know, I've I don't know what the soundtrack is because I couldn't hear it anyway.
Music I've never heard, I can't, I can't recognize.
Anybody you guys seen Al Gore's movie in there?
Do you know what the soundtrack is?
Can you imagine people?
For those who like to make love to the soundtrack of the global warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth, Greenpeace has released a list of strategies for getting it on for the good of the planet.
Suggesting that you can be a bomb in bed without nuking the planet.
Tree Hugger, an online magazine edited by Michael Graham Richard of Ontario, has just published a guide on how to green your sex life.
These people are idiots.
These people total blithering idiots.
The famed adult uh store good vibrations announced last week they would no longer sell sex toys containing controversial chemical plasticizers believed by some to be hazardous to humans and to the environment.
We are talking dildos.
They're no longer gonna sell dildos that are not environmentally safe.
And for those of you in Rio Linda, I am confident you don't need a definition here.
And throughout Canada and the U.S., people who want to pleasure the planet.
Hey, folks, who want to pleasure the planet can now buy everything from bamboo bed sheets to organic lubricant and eco undies.
Green living is getting sexy, says Jacob Gordon, author of Treehugger.com's recent green guide for the bedroom.
Why, even a year ago, people wouldn't have been nearly as receptive to this kind of thing, but as the importance of living green gains traction in our culture, people are willing to take things like that a lot more seriously.
Uh most environmentalists will agree the mainstream success of uh Al Gore's uh documentary has helped give climate change the pop culture sheen it's currently enjoying.
Indeed, global warming is a cause to which everybody from um uh diesel to Vanity Fair magazine and Starbucks are pinning their marketing up because they realize what a bunch of saps their audience is.
They realize what a bunch of saps left wingers are.
It's like this stupid red campaign.
You know, make your product red, go out and sell it, a bunch of liberals will go buy it, and you tell them you're gonna send the proceeds off to Africa for some cause.
And then you find out they don't raise much money at all, but that doesn't matter because it's not the results that matter in liberalism.
It's the it's the good intentions.
It feels like people are just waking up to the fact that planet is suffering under our uses of it, said Rebecca Dink, business manager for the adult torse toy store Babeland, the U.S. company which sells to Canadians via Babeland.com just introduced an eco-sexy kit featuring uh uh well now I can't tell you what this is.
Uh a soy massage candle, natural lubricant with no animal testing or derivatives and condoms.
Well, we have to look at every piece of our lives, including our sexuality, and ask how is this healthy for me and how is this healthy for the planet, says Dink.
Hopefully, we're all becoming better global citizens.
And then there's this other guy here, what's his name, Gordon something or other, notes there's even an eco-friendly adult website dedicated to naked vegetarians, appropriately called VegPorn?
Stern it might be up your alley.
Website, eco-friendly adult website dedicated to naked vegetarians called veg porn.
These are just I don't know, it's beyond description, folks.
Blethering, blithering idiots.
All right, people have been waiting patiently.
On the phones, David and Louisville, your next sir on the EIB network.
Hello.
Megadiddoes, Rush.
Thank you.
Uh, I need your advice.
And uh I I really believe it's panic time for the conservatives right now.
Yeah.
Uh we've shown that we can go out and educate the people, get Republicans elected, win the legislation.
The problem is I I think that we have an institutional problem in government that voting's not going to be able to fix.
Uh what's the good what's the good of putting Republicans in office when the judiciary and the education and the media can just have them all thrown in jail?
This call is plagiarism.
I made this point yesterday.
Two different times.
But my question is, what do we do about it?
Because uh that that educating the people did not fix the issue.
I mean, what you said yesterday, I heard you say it, and I needed to call you because I had said the same thing an hour before.
Oh, so I plagiarized you.
No, you didn't, but we we were on the same wavelength.
Well, I just want to know what are we supposed to do?
It feels like it's 1775.
We have no bill of rights.
And it's a and and w what are we supposed to do.
Well, in the in terms of the judiciary, uh that is the result of who wins elections.
With the judiciary we're talking about, the federal judges, appellate judges, supreme court judges, those are all appointed by the administration in power.
Uh and it's obviously important to have the same party running the Senate when those appointments are made.
So that that that's something that can be uh uh changed, take some time because these are lifetime appointments, but it can it can be the Supreme Court's a good example of it.
The Supreme Court, you know, the Liberals are living in they are quaking in fear that there's going to be another opening before Bush leaves.
Uh it it that that Supreme Court is is uh uh seen some some fairly decent progress with Leto and uh John Roberts to go along with uh Clarence Thomas and uh and uh Justice Scalia.
Uh and and there's there's some you know health issues and age ism issues uh on the uh on the Democrat side, the left side of the Supreme Court, as as the other things uh you know, the one of the points that I made yesterday, and it's a it's it's it it is contradictory.
When you talk about the liberals populating government bureaucracies and agencies, um CIA, State Department, uh Pentagon, uh career people.
Um there's a there's a stark difference between the way liberals look at life and their futures and the way conservatives do.
You know full well, liberals aspire to these jobs because they aspire to power over people.
They want the government to be the biggest entity it can be, and they want to run it, and they want to be in charge of the regulations and the laws that come out of government because they have a basic contempt for the average citizen, thinking the average citizen is incompetent and incapable.
But it's beyond that.
They literally want to change the way this government is or the way the country is.
They want to make it an image in their own ideology.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah.
Putting the right judge in place in the uh Supreme Court, how does that fix the problem that the judiciary is still too powerful and has authority that was not granted to it by the Constitution?
Well, it still doesn't fix the problem because that just means that we've bought ourselves some time.
No, no, no, no.
You misunderstand.
Um it's not just the Supreme Court.
Uh look at how many Clinton judges have ruled to take power away, constitutional power away from the president regarding the war on terror.
Well, those judges were appointed by a Democrat president.
Right.
Now you go back to last November's election, and does anybody recall the the uh uh this issue, the appointment of federal judges, the Supreme Court judges being on the table.
Yes, thanks thanks to John McCain, it got punted.
Because of the terrorist bill of rights, he distracted the the the Senate away from it and they weren't able to fix it.
Well, but no, it's not just this.
The conservative voters did.
They were they were so angry at Republicans for a host of reasons, and maybe angry at Bush over Iraq.
You know, there are all kinds of Republicans out there saying Republicans need to be taught a lesson.
I need to lose.
I need to find out what it's like to lose.
Okay, they did.
Well, elections have consequences.
So my point is that somewhere during the campaign, it should have been important, made the point that it's important for the Senate to be held by Republicans so that when these judicial nominations come up, they can be confirmed.
Um of course that was that wasn't part of the campaign.
That's that's my question.
Far and away what what McCain was doing, and it speaks for itself.
But look, it the judiciary is something that can take uh a while to change, but it can be changed by elections.
Now, what I was gonna say about this other stuff, and and you're right, confirming it how difficult it's gonna be, because most conservatives who are going to Ivy League schools are not there to finally take over positions in the bureaucracy.
Right.
They don't yeah, conservatives don't seek government jobs.
You said that yourself.
They don't aspire to it.
Conservatives, by definition, do not seek power over people.
Conservatives want to remove government power out of people's way.
Liberals want just the opposite thing.
So how do we do that?
Liberalism's d its whole existence revolves around government and having control of it.
Ours doesn't.
Well, the strategy has to be one of getting into government to deny them that power.
But look, when you get a president elected, the president's gonna have to clean out as much of these places as he can.
He can't clean them all out, uh, obviously, because they're career people in there.
But you need a president who is also a conservative and a movement conservative who's leading a movement, not just a Republican.
Uh we can't storm the agencies and force people out of there.
Uh that look it, I've I I think all this can be done, but it's just going to take time.
And those areas where it can't be done, strategies need to be developed to blunt the effect and the power of uh of career liberals and some of these institutions.
Now education is another place.
Institutions of higher learning, academia.
I don't know what about that.
I talked to you a while back about uh conservatives buying up media networks, and uh you said it wasn't a good idea.
How do you feel about that now?
Well, I uh we talked about five years ago about that.
This is something that sounds sexy.
I just it's not that I'm opposed to it.
I just don't see it ever happening.
Yeah.
Uh individuals don't own these networks anymore.
Corporations do.
Uh and the news divisions of these corporations are just that.
They are they are divisions.
Now you look at General Electric.
Uh Jack Welch ran General Electric when NBC was what it was.
It's one of the liberal institutions of the drive-by media, and Welsh one day will change it, and Welch is not that.
Uh you know, he's got his underlings of that's uh that's a I mean the last individual to own a network was Ted Turner.
Right.
So uh that uh I mean it would be cool, be nice.
I just don't see it as a as something that's realistically going to happen.
Uh that's I I I think that uh again, maybe maybe I'm I'm more optimistic than some people are because I've been involved in this evolution of change that has brought about this new media.
And to me, what exists in the media today is so much better and diverse than it was in 1988 when I started this program, and I see it as progress.
Uh and I think demographics is going to take care of some of this.
For example, the age of the key of the people who watch the nightly newscasts is 65 plus.
You can tell that by the advertisers.
And that largely is all they watch.
They're watching soap operas during the day or playing uh croquet, whatever they're doing.
That's all they watch.
There's some people all they read is the New York Times.
Some people all they read is the uh Washington Post.
Uh we conservatives, I think, sample all of this media, but the liberals do not.
I mean, they they they're gonna try to get the Democrats to cancel the debate on the Fox News channel, even though it's going to deliver a larger audience than the other cable news channel could.
Uh uh I I think that as the uh the youths of America who are getting their information a whole different way is internet, uh uh cell phones, and who knows what uh the evening newscasts are gonna go the way of the dinosaurs because it's not gonna be appointment television for people who are now 30 and 40 to sit around and watch an anchor at the end of the day.
They're gonna they already know what the news was or of the day is before that happens.
But these these uh seasoned citizens are the largest voting block.
And then it's that's the only view they get.
So demographics are gonna take care of some of this.
The trick for conservatives to stay in a cutting edge of technology in terms of how the information is uh gotten, but it's all about content, content, content.
If conservatives uh are are gonna continue to do well in the media, it has to be stuff that people want to hear, listen to, and read.
Uh and it can't be just totally ideologically based.
Anyway, uh I'm long in this segment.
It always tends to happen in this segment.
So the next segment's gonna be a little shorter than it should be, but we'll be back and get started with it right after this.
Documented to be almost always right, 98.5% of the time.
Rush Limbaugh serving humanity.
And we go to Denver.
This is Bill.
Glad you uh called, sir.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Oh, thanks a lot, Ross.
I really wanted to get on because I was in Washington earlier this week for an industry meeting, and we have routine reports, including environmental reports, and global warming was a key topic.
I raised the question about skepticism And scientists speaking out.
And it was just said, look, the response was by our people that there's so many pieces of legislation been introduced that the train has left the station, and all we can try to do from industry viewpoint is to try to mitigate the impact.
And I'm asking you and others who are listening, your scientists keep speaking out.
The view in Washington is the train has left the station.
We're going to have taxes, we're going to have this and that, and it's just a question of what form and how far the train goes.
It's uh it's really it's a desperate situation.
We cannot wait by summer.
He said that we're going to have legislation.
Oh, I we already do have uh regulations and legislation, and I'm I'm sure more is coming.
Uh, but it's not too late to stop the brunt of this.
I hope not.
We got it.
We need everybody to speak out, really.
It's your your vehicle is the best vehicle to get the word out.
Well, we're dr doing this.
What with what we do on this program, we sound the alarm bells and we warn people about what's happening.
This is uh uh I think I think we have uh pretty good potential here.
I'm not I'm not under any uh delusions here that we're gonna be able to totally, totally roll this back.
Uh but look at it.
This is just this is classic liberalism, and it's also classic big governmentism.
Uh when you when you have all of these scare tactics, and when politicians, whose primary job is to get re-elected.
And and to in many cases, way too many cases, that means to pander.
So when they're out there, why do you think the corporations are going green and all this other stuff?
It's because they think there's an idiotic customer base out there that's going to respond to it.
Some of it may be ideological, but a lot of it's business.
In terms of what's happening in Washington, all this attention being focused on it now, uh, and politicians don't want controversy, and they don't want to be thought of as as uh missing the train or missing the boat on something, and so they have to act concerned.
And it's so this is an inertia that uh uh that sweeps everybody up.
This has been going on for twenty years.
Uh, but it's never too late to oppose this stuff.
That's me.
That's like saying, well, too many people uh, you know, believe that uh uh the Soviet Union is no big threat, that the biggest threat's Ronald Reagan, the biggest threat's America.
You know, it's never too late to keep fighting and defeat this stuff.
But this is a great illustration.
This is what it's always gonna be like with liberals.
There's never going to be a day where we where we raise the flag of victory and they raise the white flag and surrender.
It's never gonna be the day because that's not who they are.
They're never gonna quit, they're never going to stop.
So it's a constant battle, and it in my mind it involves educating the American people and making them curious and question things, making them skeptical as much as uh as much as possible.
But it's certainly worth it, folks, because we're talking about the kind of society we're gonna have.
We're talking about liberalism and how big the government's going to get, and how much liberty and freedom is gonna be taken away from us, how many taxes we're gonna have to pay as increases in order you know to be punished for all the so-called damage that we're causing to the rest of the world.
This is very, very serious, and it will result in uh in tremendous uh uh losses of liberty and and uh reductions in the advancement of lifestyles and so forth, uh, if there's no brakes put on it, and uh where will be brakes put on it.
They're not gonna get away with this hookwind and safer.
And that's it, folks, for this exciting hour of broadcast excellence.
But there's one more right around a corner here, right around a pike.
And we'll get to it right after this.
