Time Text
And greetings once again, thrill seekers and music lovers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain, Rush Limbo, meeting and exceeding all audience expectations on a daily basis as the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all concern, Maha Rushi.
And as always, looking forward to talking with you.
Telephone number, if you want to be on the program 800-282-2882 and the email address, rush at EIBnet.com.
Finally, we get to it, ladies and gentlemen.
After two days of delay, we have time to squeeze the update in.
Okay, as I say, the global warming stack has been growing on its own.
Items accumulating each day, and I haven't had a chance to get to it.
Don't get to it every day because, as I say, I don't want to wear you out on this stuff.
But here's the latest from Discovery.com.
Planting new trees in snow-covered northern regions may actually contribute to global warming as they have the counter effect of tropical forests.
This, according to a study out Monday, tree planting could add to warming.
How can this be?
Well, while rainforests help cool the planet by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing clouds that reflect sunlight, the dark canopy of Canadian, Scandinavian, and Siberian forests catches sun rays that would be reflected back to space by that snow.
The study published Monday in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that reforestation projects in the tropics would help mitigate global warming, but such projects would be counterproductive in high latitudes.
In mid-latitudes like the U.S. and most of Europe, more trees would only create marginal benefits for climate change.
So, all of you people buying these carbon offsets and you're investing in these companies to go out and plant trees so you can fly your private jets around, you're contributing to the so-called problem.
This is if we accept the premise of totally man-made global warming.
Govindasami Bala, who led the research, and I'm pronouncing that right because I'm a highly trained broadcast specialist and I'm good with names.
Govindasami Bala, two words there.
Govindasami is the first name, Bala is the second name.
Our study shows that only tropical rainforests are strongly beneficial in helping slow down global warming.
It's a win-win situation in the tropics because trees in the tropics, in addition to absorbing carbon dioxide, promote convective clouds that help keep the planet cool.
In other locations, the warming effect from the sunlight absorption either cancels or exceeds the net cooling from the other.
So what happens here, folks, let me tell you this in layman's terms.
There's no snow down there in the tropical rainforests ever.
But there is snow up, obviously, you get further north latitudinally.
So you go start planting a bunch of trees up there, and the sunlight that reflects off the snow is captured by the trees, and doesn't make it up there to the atmosphere to form cooling clouds.
So they say.
This whole thing is, you know, it's a crock.
This is science.
It's not science.
This is not even a moral issue.
This is a pure political issue.
Have you heard what's happened in Cleveland?
They've had baseball games canceled because of snow.
The Boston Red Sox may have to cancel some upcoming games this week because of six inches of snow in the forecast.
And with the ground crew still shoveling snow off the field at Jacobs Field, the Cleveland Indians decided it was time to head north to Milwaukee.
The Indians moved their series against the Los Angeles Angels to Milwaukee's Miller Park.
They got a retractable dome there after a spring snowstorm wiped out Cleveland series against Seattle for the fourth straight day yesterday.
I thought we were going to move it to North Dakota, but we got Milwaukee instead, joked the designated hitter of the Indians, Travis Hafner, who is a native of Sykeston, North Dakota.
The teams are going to play a three-game series starting today in a ballpark that's got this retractable roof.
The opener and tomorrow's game be played at 7.05 p.m. Thursday's game scheduled for 105.
While a snowy, rainy mix stopped falling on Monday, the ground crew was unable to get the surface in shape after three days of snow.
And about a foot of snow remained on the field Monday afternoon with workers shoveling it into small carts to be hauled away.
And of course, now everybody's going through the usual contortions.
Well, you know, we need to open the season in these dome stadiums and in the west coast of southern climes.
It's senseless to have Tampa Bay open up in New York, for example.
Tampa Bay should open at home and blah, blah, blah.
The problem with that is that a lot of teams don't want these extended road trips to start the season.
And it all balances out anyway.
They tried this 1996 or 97.
They actually tried having a schedule that started with all the left coast teams and the southern teams opening at home for like a week to 10 days, and then they all moved north and they still had weather problems.
Now, here's the thing.
This is quite normal.
It's quite normal for there to be snow in places like Cleveland and Boston and the Northeast in April.
I lived in Pittsburgh.
I remember a game was snowed out in May in Pittsburgh, back in the early 70s.
It happens.
And there's nothing unusual about it.
What is interesting to me is that in all these stories about, I mean, Cleveland moving, and every ticket, by the way, 10 bucks when they go to Milwaukee's Miller Park.
Every ticket, 10 bucks, because there's no home crowd there, given the two teams playing Cleveland and Los Angeles Angels.
I mean, that's really strange.
You know, moving games to Anaheim.
Well, you can't do that.
That would give the Anaheim team an unfair play those games.
That schedule's too intricate to do this.
But during all of this, there's not, I can't find in any of the reporting on all the snowed-out baseball games anybody in the drive-by media questioning global warming.
It just can't.
Now, you might say, well, why should they?
Well, because of fairness and objectivity.
Because I will guarantee you, by the time we get to June or July, somewhere it's going to be unseasonably hot.
And we're going to hear global warming, global warming, global warming, global warming.
And it's going to never end.
But yet, when there's any evidence that would contradict the notion that we're warming up uncontrollably and to the point of devastation, it's left out.
It's totally ignored.
And I'll tell you something else that's wrong with all this, and that is the singular notion that there is only one thing associated with warming, and that's destruction.
That is patently absurd, too.
Remember the Vikings, Leif Erickson and the gang?
When they came across the Atlantic Ocean and discovered North America, they were only able to do it because of a temperate climate in that age.
The Atlantic Ocean, they couldn't do it today if they tried in the kind of ships that they came over on seas are too rough.
They discovered Greenland area to plant crops.
Scotland used to be farmlands.
Not anymore.
It's too cold up there now, but it used to be.
And these are cycles of warming and cooling that are constantly occurring on the planet.
But most people's historical perspective begins with the day they were born.
And most people think it's never been worse in the case of anything than it is at the time they are alive.
Newsweek, I mentioned this yesterday.
Newsweek International has a column by Richard Lindzen.
He is a meteorologist, the Alfred P. Sloan professor of meteorology at MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He has tenure, so he's probably safe after writing this piece.
But his point is there's no such thing as a perfect temperature.
The Earth is always warming or cooling by as much as a few tenths of a degree a year.
Periods of constant average temperatures are rare.
Looking back on the Earth's climate history, it's apparent that there's no such thing as an optimal temperature, a climate in which everything is just right.
The current alarm rests on the false assumption not only that we live in a perfect world temperature-wise, but also that our warming forecasts for the year 2040 are somehow more reliable than the weatherman's forecast for next week.
A warmer climate could prove to be more beneficial than the one we have now.
Much of the alarm over climate change is based on ignorance of what's normal for weather and climate.
There's no evidence, for instance, that extreme weather events are increasing in any systematic way, according to scientists at the U.S. National Hurricane Center, the World Meteorological Organization, and the IPCC, which released the second part of this year's report earlier this month.
Indeed, meteorological theory holds that outside the tropics, weather in a warming world should be less variable, which might be a good thing.
In many other aspects, the ill effects of warming are overblown.
Sea levels, for example, have been increasing since the end of the last ice age.
Are you listening to this, Rachel?
Good.
When you look at recent centuries in perspective, ignoring short-term fluctuations, the rate of sea level rise has been relatively uniform, less than a couple of millimeters a year.
And I frankly want to know how they measure that.
What do you do?
You go to high tide, low tide, medium tide, stick a ruler down there in the beach?
I'm being purposely facetious.
Measuring sea level?
At any rate, there's even some evidence that the rate was higher in the first half of the 20th century sea level rise than it is in the second half.
Overall, the risk of sea level rise from global warming is less at almost any given location than that from other causes.
And many of the most alarming stories or studies rely on long-range predictions using inherently untrustworthy climate models similar to those that cannot accurately forecast the weather one week from now.
Yet people want to believe what they're told.
The National Weather Service wild guests people what's going to happen in 2040 or 2050.
They know not to trust what they say is going to happen 10 to 15 days out.
Much of the alarm over climate change is based on ignorance of what is normal for weather and climate.
There is no evidence, for instance, that extreme weather events are increasing in any systematic way.
Speaking of that, Bill Gray out there at the University of Colorado or Colorado State, wherever he is, really, really just jumped on Al Gore.
Bill Gray is the scientist known as America's most reliable hurricane forecaster.
Last Friday, he called Al Gore a gross alarmist for making the documentary about global warming.
For someone of his stature, he's a gross alarmist, Gray said in an interview with the AP.
He's one of these guys that preaches the end of the world type of things.
I think he's doing a great disservice.
He doesn't know what he's talking about, said Bill Gray.
Spokesman said Gore was on a carbon-burning flight from Washington to Nashville on Friday, and he did not immediately respond to Bill Gray's charges.
By the way, remember how we exposed the fraud and the hoax of that picture of two polar bears that are apparently stranded on a melting glacier out there in the middle of the ocean?
We exposed this a long time ago.
This is an ice flow.
It's made by the sea.
It's a sea sculpture that's made by the, and the polar bears are out there playing.
And if you've been watching Planet Earth on the Discovery Channel, you'll learn that polar bears can swim 60 miles.
I was amazed looking at the footage.
They swim like fish underneath.
Well, not fish.
But I mean, they're swimmers.
60 miles?
There's no way these poor things would be stranded here on this.
They weren't.
The whole thing was a hoax.
And finally, the Australian TV networks have exposed it.
So this is not just something contained here in the United States, brought to the attention of this country by me.
Now the Australian TV networks are illustrating the hoax involved in this so-called stranded polar bear picture.
And even in the headline of the story here, they use the word hoax.
And that's what the global warming alarmists do.
They use hoaxes.
They photoshop pictures.
They do a number of things to frighten you and scare you into thinking that this calamity is already happening, as they say it will happen in 2040 or 2050 or whatever they're guessing.
At any rate, quick time out.
We'll be back.
More of your phone calls when we return.
And for you, NFL fans, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
You want to listen to this, Brian?
You're a big NFL fan.
Pac-Man Jones, Adam Pac-Man Jones of the Tennessee Titans has been suspended for the entire 2007 football season because of off-the-field activities.
Chris Henry, a wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, received an eight-game suspension.
Both these players suspended for numerous violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy.
Pac-Man Jones' off-field conduct has included 10 incidents where he was interviewed by the police.
The most recent took place during an NBA All-Star weekend in Vegas.
Police there recommended felony and misdemeanor charges against Pac-Man Jones after a fight and a shooting at a strip club paralyzed one man.
Literally, this was one of the security guys at this nightclub.
Both the Titans and the Cincinnati Bengals said they supported the suspensions.
The new commissioner, Roger Goodell, said it's a privilege.
It's a privilege to represent the NFL, not a right.
These players and all members of our league have to make the right choices and decisions in their conduct on a consistent basis.
Woo, baby.
Full season suspension for off-the-field behavior.
From CBS along the desert stretch where Arizona and Mexico meet, there's more flying in the air than just dust.
There are rocks flying back and forth toward the border agents.
It's part of a nightly bombardment of border patrol vehicles and agents all along the southwestern border.
Chris Van Wagonen, a senior patrol agent, said it's mostly going to be smugglers, guides, gangbangers, basically people who make money off this.
This means smuggling people and drugs into the U.S. got a lot harder across the border, and smugglers are reacting to more fences and more agents with more violence.
They believe almost like a terrorist, we're going to intimidate you and we're going to hurt you until you back off, Van Wagonen said.
So violence against agents in Yuma, Arizona, up to 154 instances in the first six months of this fiscal year, which starts, as many of you know, on September 1st.
Now, this is an attempt.
Where is this on the news?
Where is this story on the news?
It's nowhere.
Speaking of the whole immigration problem, Los Angeles Times today, and we shared with you that President Bush is going to come up with a new plan by August.
John Sweeney, president of the AFL-CIO, has written a column in the L.A. Times today, and he says he's dumping all over this concept of guest workers.
I like this whole notion of guest workers.
And this is a change for the labor unions.
Labor unions have been all they've been backing this all along.
The reason they backed it was that it allowed all these guest workers to come in here, and eventually what it did was lead to higher, it would affect the minimum wage eventually and then lead to higher union salaries.
And it would lead to further opportunities for these workers to finally unionize.
You know, the unions have been losing membership dramatically for years.
And so these guest workers represented a pool of potential new union members.
But Sweeney has now come out against the guest worker programs.
He wants new permanent union workers.
He wants them to be let in and join the union, essentially.
Right.
Foreign workers should enjoy the same rights and protections as U.S. workers, including freedom to form unions and bargain for a better life.
That's what he's so he wants illegals to be able to form their own unions when they get here.
Or join one of his.
Same difference.
I got to make a correction here, ladies and gentlemen.
I erred sometime in the last hour, I erroneously gave credit to the NCAA ladies basketball championship to Rutgers.
And in fact, the Lady Vols from Tennessee won the championship.
And so people from Tennessee are calling and saying that I have stolen their joy by denying them the win.
Because they say, Rush, if you tell people that Rutgers won, they're going to think Rutgers won, and we won it.
And it's our joy, and you're taking it from us.
Well, they've got the trophy, but you know, it doesn't matter what you have, it's what people say about you.
And I'm waiting for some allegation to be made against me here.
I want to correct this right off the bat.
I want to apologize to the Lady Vols.
And they've got a great coach.
They've got a great program there.
And I will meet with the team individually to try to restore their joy, yes.
I'd be happy to meet with the Lady Vols.
Yes.
Name the day.
Name the time.
Boyd in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Hey, Mega Ditto's Rush.
Today's the day that I'm going to declare that I'm not going to take it anymore.
Okay.
My point is that this morning on the Today Show, I was watching Al Sharpton and Don Imus there, and they were both talking.
And Imos, he went on the Al Sharpton show, and he apologized.
And today it showed that Al Sharpton was really not willing to accept an apology.
And I really believe that that is showing more racism on Al Sharpton's part.
And I might be going out on a limb on it.
You know what?
I want to play you a soundbite.
And I want you to go up there and grab soundbite number eight.
Because this might help you to understand the thinking.
You're right.
The Reverend Sharpen Sharpton accepted the apology, but didn't allow it to go any further.
He still thinks that the perp here should be fired.
Yeah, exactly.
It's not.
That is not racism.
I mean, the question about that is, it's the Easter season.
This is a Christian minister.
And where's the forgiveness?
Well, you know what the racism issue is that if you, like your caller, Angela, she hit it right on the nail on the head.
It wasn't done with malice, the comment, and it came from a cultural, you know, from the cultural culture, I guess, of the African American and all that.
I've been through this earlier today.
Only certain people are allowed to use those cultural terms that were used.
Well, yeah, but you know, what it is, is I think the alcoholic.
You can't say that.
You can't say that.
That's a colloquialism that you're not allowed to say.
Can't say what you're doing.
I see where you're going on that, and I really feel that this, you know, later on, you know, down the road, what are we going to have to be able to accept?
I mean, some of the parodies that you have, Rush, could be considered as offensive to the club getting, oh, my goodness, the, you know, the Muslim, aren't they going to come after you?
And, you know, let's fire Rush, you know, and where does it stop?
I mean, we're talking about entertainers who are entertaining and are trying to entertain and use things that are in the everyday life to well, look at this.
Let me play this soundbite.
There's a double standard out.
I'm not saying the double standards are right.
You want to answer to your question.
It's why I say that at some point a tipping point is going to be reached on this.
Exactly.
And, you know, you may be on the cutting edge of it because you said you're not going to take it anymore.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I don't know.
I don't know what you're going to do.
What are you going to do?
When you say you're not going to take it anymore, what are you going to do?
Well, first of all, I've called your show.
I've written letters and tried to call the television networks.
And the only thing I haven't done is found somebody with a ton of money to actually go.
You're missing all the information.
You're missing a big point in all this.
I wish you had been listening earlier because what happened here, what the perp said is nothing new.
It's been going on for 30 years or 20 years or 10 years or whatever.
But the drive-by media have been looking the other way because the drive-by media uses the perp show to elevate themselves.
Now all of a sudden they're caught in a bind here.
Well, yeah.
Because now they're trying to go through the charade of reporting objectively about this as though, oh, totally stunned by never heard the why.
We're going to report.
Just listen to the sound vibe.
Sure.
This is the Reverend Jackson.
He was on NBC today.
And well, Meredith Vieira says, Reverend Jackson, the perp again this morning said that he had made a mistake, called his stupid statement stupid and idiotic, said he hopes to learn from it, and he'll be suspended for two weeks.
He believes that's an appropriate punishment.
Do you agree with him?
One of his cohorts said these are hardcore hoes.
His response was, nap-headed hoes.
No, they look like Toronto Raptors men's basketball players.
No, they look like Memphis Grizzlies.
That's the whole conversation.
But they referred in that same show to Venus and Serena Williams.
There shouldn't be in play, but they should be in National Geographic, as in animals.
Or if Hillary Clinton speaks before the blacks in Southern Alabama, maybe she'll have Monquan rose next and gold hammicking gangsta.
So this is a whole culture of free flow of bigotry.
And A, they've done it before.
So this is the apology is repetitious, and the insult is very egregious and very deep.
Do you get the Reverend Jackson's point there, Boyd?
The Reverend Jackson's point is this had been going on.
The whole show was this stuff that day.
I mean, it has been going on for a long time.
And that's why they're not going to be Christian ministers and forgive it.
He went the whole gamut of everything that he could think of in which to make it look that this is the most terrible, you know, some of this.
Some of this, if that, if some of the stuff that the Reverend Jackson said was actually said, that's just juvenile humor.
That's the kind of jokes they tell in junior high school.
But nevertheless, the interesting thing about Reverend Jackson's comment was Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton speaks before blacks in Selma.
Maybe she'll have on cornrows next and gold hanging making gang signs.
Now, you know what that's a reference to?
She went out there to Selma, Alabama, and the Reverend Jackson is supporting Obama.
And she went out there and, you know, started speaking in his black dialect.
She didn't pull off very well.
And people thought it was pandering and so forth.
And it sounds to me like the Reverend Jackson was offended by this.
I want you to grab cut six.
You got to hear this one, too.
This, I've been talking about it all day.
This is Meredith Vieira apologizing to the Reverend Jackson for bringing up his Hymetown slur.
So when you ask him about it, you have to apologize for bringing it up.
And here's how that exchange went.
Reverend Jackson, I apologize, but some of your critics reminded me of 1984, and I remember it as well.
You were running for president and you referred to New York City as Haimetown.
And you were raked over the calls for that.
A lot of people said you were an anti-Semitic gentleman, and it took you several days to apologize, and then you begged for forgiveness.
So what's the difference between that and this?
Well, if it's repetitions and if it's a pattern, that is one question.
But the broader context here, I must say, is that one week of Shikunda Cotton being sent to jail for seven years for pushing a whole monitor.
They come out of the March madness and all the blacks on the basketball court.
UCLA had 132 freshmen admitted last year.
And the final four, 26,000 freshmen in those four schools, 2,000 were black.
Last year, more young black men in jail than college in every state.
That's a context.
There's a context.
He didn't repeat it, and he apologized for a wig.
I don't know what it means.
Don't ask me what it means.
I'm not translating stuff here.
I'm just letting you hear it.
Yeah, well, because I understand Jesse Jackson, I followed it.
I know exactly what he's saying.
What he's trying to say is that when he called New York Hymetown, that that was a singular instance, that it was not part of a pattern.
And the perp here has engaged in a pattern of this kind of stuff.
And then changing the subject, knowing full well he'd be allowed to because he was already apologized to for the Haimetown remark being brought up.
Then he went on to talk about how there aren't enough blacks in the final four, even though it's a black game.
Basketball, he had 132 blacks admitted to freshmen admitted last year to UCLA.
Out of the whole student body, that's nothing.
Final four teams, 26,000 freshmen, those four schools, 2,000 were black.
It's just discrimination that's still going on out there.
It's a lack of equality for it.
And of course, the PERP is responsible for this because the PERP, after all these years of continuously making fun of black people, has made them think they can't go to college.
Here's one more grab number seven.
Let's see.
This is last night on Hardball, and David Gregory, frequent, I'm his guest, by the way, was interviewing the Reverend Jackson.
And Gregory says, you say there isn't any diversity to NBC.
I don't know if that's quite a fair charge.
A show on MSNBC hosted by black.
Allison Stewart is one of our hosts during the day, yes.
Name one.
I mean, that's Scarborough.
And that is you.
And that is Chris.
And there's not a similar show on Ethernet work, my dad.
MSNBC CNN all day, all night all flight.
He forgot to throw Fox in there.
But that's the translation of the previous comment.
He's MSNBC CNN all day, all night, all white.
So this is, I'm just telling you, this whole instance here with the suspect with the perp is going to be used to broaden the attack against all these other networks on the basis of inequality.
This is how this game works.
And when you play the game by groveling and apologizing left and right and you just set the clock because everybody's going to want this to go away.
It is catchy.
Reverend Jackson comes up with great rhymes.
MSNBC, CNN, all day, all night, all white.
We got to take a brief time out here, ladies and gentlemen.
By the way, let's add to this that we could say MSNB, CNN, all liberal, all day, all night, all white.
One of the points, one of the points on all this that I have been making brilliantly today, and if you haven't understood it, it's your problem, because I have been brilliant on this, is that the media is complicit in this.
And the media have known all along what goes on here.
And the media has double standards and hypocrisy, and they are reeking of it on all of this.
And one of the things I've tried to get people to realize is that the media now harping all over Bush, whatever he does, and now the perp and whatever he said, the two guys that get a total pass are the Reverend Jackson and the Reverend Sharpton.
And I have an excerpt here from salon.com, and this is right Jake Tapper, when he worked at Salon.
Now he's at ABC News.
But this is August 17th of 2000.
This is during convention time.
And this is the excerpts.
And the headline of the column is, don't ask, don't tell.
Neither Democrats nor the media want to talk about past or current tensions between blacks and Jews.
It's tough to imagine this year's Republican convention featuring a prime time speaker who once said that Zionism is a kind of poisonous weed that's choking Judaism, quote unquote.
Or that he was sick and tired of hearing about the Holocaust, quote unquote.
Or that traditional Democrat support for Israel is because of the Jewish element in the party, a kind of glorified form of bribery, quote unquote.
And certainly not if he had ever referred to Jews as Jaimes in New York is Jaime Town.
But the Reverend Jackson, of course, has made all these comments and more.
And Jackson said those things in his 30s and 40s and has since apologized for them.
But his speech at the Democratic Convention on Tuesday evening is at the very least an interesting example of the double standard that clearly exists in the media's and the Democrat Party's sensitivity to anti-Semitism.
Bingo!
Bingo!
Exclamation point triple.
Bing-go.
This is the point that I have been trying to make.
The Democrats embrace all this stuff, or they don't reject it, except when conservatives say it.
The Republican Party would not have somebody who had said those things show up on a podium and address the party on national television.
But there was the Reverend Jackson.
He's a regular attendee, regular speaker at the Democrat National Convention.
And this is what's sort of fun about this one, because this is Lib versus Lib.
And to watch them get themselves into all these contortions over this is fascinating.
And they're all shocked.
They're just stunned, even though they've been party to it for the last 10 years by going on the pro singing its praises, creating all the buzz about it.
They're stunned.
They're shocked.
And now they're all out there giving advice.
You better calm down, Perp.
You better not do this.
You're going to have credibility problems.
Jeff Greenfield, Feynman, all these guys sat around and watched, and they've heard all this stuff sitting right there on the show.
Now, all of a sudden, that the excrement has hit the fan.
Guess who's giving the advice on how to straighten this out?
And you know what?
There's something I got to say.
I hope I'm not going to get my friend in trouble here.
But Phil Mushnik, who writes, I think, a brilliant column in the New York Post sports section on Friday, Sunday, and Monday. every week, has been on this for the longest time about the double standard that exists on this show.
And not with just these political guests.
And his theory is that a lot of these guests come on to say these outrageous things to spare the host and his crew from having to say them, but still get them said.
And this time, no guests said it.
You know, the perp said it.
All hills broken loose.
This is Shona in Omaha.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Nice to have you with us.
Hey, thank you for taking my call.
I'm really nervous, so if I start talking really fast, slow me down.
I have four girls in the elementary school in Omaha.
We have a great school system.
I was at PTO meeting and commented to the group during their new business that the publication that comes home with the kids every Friday or every so often, it's called Times.
You know, Times for Kids or Newsweek for Kids had a big essay on the polar bear pictures, global warming.
They've studied it in school.
And so I brought it to the PTO.
I said, hey, just let you guys know, I was listening to Rush today, and that whole thing is a hoax.
It was a picture of how you explained it.
The polar bear swam out.
They were curious.
So when your kids come home and say that the polar bears are dying, let them know that that picture was a fake.
And our PTO president, who's a huge liberal, who's actually going to work on Hillary Clinton's campaign, said, and when you're done explaining that to them, make sure that they listen to Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.
So I said, just as a little...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Your kids are going to school saying this stuff?

Right.
And are you saying that you are debunking what the teachers are giving them at home?

I'm happy to hear these are the kind of things that lift me up and give me hope for the future of the United States.

Sadly, sadly, sadly, that's it.
Have to split the scene.
