Time Text
Yeah, hang on.
I just got a great email here, and I gotta print this out.
I'd read it to you.
I'll just let go.
Greetings, my friends.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the cutting edge of societal evolution, and half my brain tied behind my back still, in order to make it fair.
This is the EIB Network.
Our phone number if you want to be on the program 800-282-2882.
And the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Rather than go through the usual corporate channels, I'm going to make this on-air appeal to the management of our Baltimore affiliate, WCBM.
In case you're just joining us, you can see this on the Drudge Report.
They have a billboard of me up near I-83 in Baltimore that has been defaced.
Some uh someone uh in the under the cover of darkness went over to the billboard and plastered the bottom half of my face with different colors of paint.
And the email, a great email suggests don't touch it.
Leave it alone.
Just add one line.
Listen and see what the left doesn't want you to hear.
Leave the billboard defaced.
Leave the paint up there.
And then add a little line.
Keep listening or listen.
See what the left doesn't want you to hear.
And I think that's a great idea.
I don't know.
They said they were going to start fixing and repairing the billboard today, and they may have already started.
I don't know if it's uh if it's too late, but if it's not too late, you guys in Baltimore might want to think about that.
It doesn't bother me.
Uh actually funny.
Also, uh Roy Spencer, the climatologist uh from the University of Alabama at Huntsville, who we have had on this program before, has been trying to call, as many of you are getting a busy signal.
Unless Snerdly hung up on him.
Sterling told me the top of the hour today.
It's been really tough out there.
I'm getting a lot of people that already been listening to program calling in as like a there's like a program such and such out there.
And Snurtly, Roy, I hope it's not you that he's he's refused.
Well, no, Roy said he hasn't gotten through yet, so you haven't you haven't disrespected Roy Spencer.
So he sent us a note.
Says, I'm trying to get through here.
Subtropical storm Andrea Mitchell is the result of unusually cold air.
So the global warming freaks are trying to say that this is an example of how global warming is happening and and uh Dr. Spencer, and I hope he gets through.
Well, wait.
Got his number here.
Come in here, Brian, pick up the we can and we can we can call him.
Uh we're not used to having guests here, so it takes a while for it to register that we can reach out to people.
We wait for people to reach out to us.
Now wait a minute, but you know not to call the fax number.
I love teasing Brian.
I just I do.
Missing vulture has been found in the Netherlands.
Uh the great Dutch scavenger hunts over five days after thermals and gusty winds swept Abu, the white back vulture, away from the private bird of prey breeding center where he lives.
Police officer found him Wednesday, and Falconers coaxed him back into captivity.
Abu is normally kept in an enclosure at the center in the Southern Netherlands, but disappeared into the clouds last Friday while being trained for a flying demonstration.
He was discovered 80 miles away.
Uh, and uh the the policeman took a photo of him with his mobile phone, sent it to us.
We could see that it was Abu.
Catching him was easy.
They had food.
He saw that and walked straight up to them.
So the uh the white backed vulture that's uh been missing has been found.
I want to go back to uh Mitt Romney and Al Sharpton.
We have audio sound bites, and of course, we've got a new commercial in from the Justice Brothers today that will also play as part of this segment.
But um uh Dan Real has a blog, Real Worldview, and there's an amazing entry on his blog today.
Obama Democrats and the Have we bought insurance from the Justice Brothers?
Because I don't uh I'm gonna have to use a word here that could get me in trouble.
I mean, I know they're official sponsors of the program, but I don't know if Yeah, we I you know what we can comp them a few spots.
We can give them a few commercials.
That would be buying insurance from them, because I gotta read this.
Democratic Representative John Yarmouth of Kentucky currently has an item on his website which in part praises the performance of Napy Roots, which is a Kentucky-based rap group that in 2002, then Kentucky Governor uh Democrat Paul Patton honored by declaring Nappy Roots Day an official state holiday in Kentucky.
Uh I mean.
This is incredible.
Uh following Lisa Tanner's moving rendition of the Star Spangled Man, this is from the website, uh stellar performances about a Louisville Dems and Napy Roots, the name of a ramp group, and inspirational speeches from dozens of local officials, John Yarmouth and Barack Obama took the stage to thunderous applause.
Uh of course, when Imus made his comments, Obama said he didn't just cross the line.
He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America.
And yet Obama was there with John Yarmouth celebrating this rap group called Napy Roots, and they actually had Nappy Roots Day, an official state holiday in the state of Kentucky.
So when a Democrat honored a group called Napy Roots with a state holiday, Obama shows up and praises them.
Which takes us, ladies and gentlemen, we got Roy Spencer.
We got okay, let's go let's go grab Roy here.
We'll get to the Sharpton Obama thing and the Mitt Romney thing after the break.
Dr. Spencer, thanks so much for joining us today.
You're welcome, Rush.
All right, now to refresh people's memories, uh uh you called the program once a few weeks ago, uh discussing why you deviate from the uh established belief man-made global warming, and your th your hypothesis basically is that precipitation is the is is one of the primary factors in the computer models do not measure precipitation because we can't figure out.
We don't have the equipment, the the uh sophistication yet to measure total precipitation on the planet on a daily basis, correct?
Well, let's be a little more specific than that.
Basically, precipitation systems act as the atmosphere's air conditioner.
It's kind of like in your in your house, the air is constantly being recycled, right?
Well, pr precipitation systems constantly recycle our atmosphere's air.
You know, the air you're breathing was probably in the last several days going through a precipitation system.
Those systems are what cause most of the Earth's greenhouse effect, which is water vapor and clouds.
Precisely.
I remember.
Okay.
And that's uh uh when you say most, could you attach a percentage of uh of greenhouse gases to water vapor?
Yeah, over over 90 percent.
Our addition of CO2 has enhanced the greenhouse effect by maybe one percent so far.
Okay.
So uh that's automobiles, exhalation of human breath, uh uh factory smokestacks, all these things that we're being told are really polluting the planet are really such a small percentage of the so-called greenhouse gas.
By the way, is it a bad thing the planet might warm up?
Uh I I don't know.
I mean, I think that's a toss-up.
I'm not sure.
Well, but if you go back and look at the uh I forget what what it was called, but back in the days of the Vikings, they were able to grow crops and and uh so forth in Greenland.
They were able to traverse the North Atlantic and come to North America.
Uh uh the Northern Hemisphere was a lot more fertile than it was.
But the idea, my point is the idea that that global warming is destructive, calamitous, and deadly is a bit absurd.
Yeah, I think a little bit warmer would would actually be better, and I think the extra CO2 is, you know, they estimate crop productivity has gone up fifteen percent just because of the uh extra CO2 we've put in the atmosphere.
So it's a good thing in ways.
All right.
Now I'm titillated here.
Cold air, unusually cold air is responsible for the subtropical storm off the coast of Georgia.
Yeah, and the hint there is that it's not a tropical storm, it's a subtropical storm.
These things uh don't usually form.
I think it's been a few years when we've had one like this.
But the thing it didn't w w didn't happen because of unusually warm ocean water.
It happened because there was unusually cold air that came unusually far south, and had there was such a contrast between that cold air mass and the sea surface temperatures which are running about normal in that area uh that then that that can lead to a storm.
Remember most storminess on the earth is related to temperature contrasts.
Right.
Well the the i i unusually cold air that uh came unusually far south um and if we're gonna start blaming that on global warming then you can explain anything with global warming well they do no they do they they uh I mean you uh you didn't hear it I don't think Lori David is blaming the Malibu wildfires on global warming.
I mean it it it it every weather calamity uh what they do two things where they portray it as unique.
They try to convince people that we're experiencing severe weather today unlike we've ever known the planet has ever known and that then is because of of uh of of man made global warming.
It's a it's a it's a perfect political agenda the way they've got it set up and you know right right and you just reminded me of a news story that came out yesterday.
You may not have noticed it, but do you remember the name Chris Lancey?
No.
Uh well he's one of the hurricane setters lead researchers and forecasters and uh he was one he he uh had quit the IPCC because he thought it was becoming too political.
The UN buddy the UN bunch right well anyway um he's now convinced that 2005 wasn't a record year for tropical cyclones and it's mainly because we've only had satellites which can see the central and eastern Atlantic you know in the last you know since the nineteen seventies and I've got a graphic I can email you that maybe you want to put up the previous record year was nineteen thirty three.
I've got a record how or I mean I've got this graphic that shows how all of those storms were in the western Atlantic and then the new supposed record year, 2005, they're everywhere.
In other words, if we had satellites back in 33, you know, there probably would have been five or six more storms that would have been seen.
And and 2005 then wouldn't be a record.
Yeah we've been naming storms uh since nineteen fifty one before nineteen fifty one they were called wind and rain.
They're called hurricane X and Y and and uh and all of this.
Well you're something else about that uh uh we we we say that hurricane season starts June one.
Now this is a statistical thing but it's only because of humans desire and and and and necessity in some places to um to name things and to create boundaries for things that something that happens like this tropical storm,
subtropical storm in April is said to be unusual when there have been since since we've been paying attention to recording these things, I read it a seventeen this is the seventeenth named storm obviously since nineteen fifty one in May.
So it's not unusual.
Right and and even if it were unusual it's unusual from the standpoint that it was caused by unusually cold air.
Well I appreciate not because it's unusually warm out.
Right in fact, you know I was watching this thing on Saturday because I don't know aviation website and I saw this this big uh low out there and they had it graphically turning like a uh uh a cyclone and I'm I'm I'm looking on uh various weather sites and nobody is is saying anything about it or mentioning it it looked pretty uh uh well intimidating to me even though it was way offshore and it wasn't a couple days three days later that uh that it it happened to be categorized in name but what's difference in a subtropical storm and
a tropical storm well like I said a subtropic tropical storm forms from a contrast between sea surface temperatures that are just warm enough uh but then with a cold air mass there's such a big temperature contrast there uh that it can really feed the convection um so it it starts out as sort of a high latitude you know or a regular low pressure area and it can sort of transition into a tropical storm.
You might have remembered a few years ago there was the supposed first ever hurricane off of Brazil.
Yes that was supposedly due to w that was supposedly due to global warming.
That was another one of those things.
It formed in an unusually cold air mass and the water it was sitting over was not unusually warm.
You know now that you mentioned this I I um I I remember uh I played golf on Sunday and it was Unusually humid in Sweldery.
It was, it was uh drink a lot of water on the golf course.
Monday and Tuesday down here in South Florida.
We had lows in the low 60s.
It barely got to the 70.
The humidity was gone, and it was.
There was uh unusually cold air that made it even this far south, farther south than this storm is.
Now I've lived here since 1997.
Here we go with the same anecdotal stuff that the global warming people use.
I've lived here since 1997.
I don't remember ever the lows getting inland here, they got to the high fifties in uh in uh in in the first part of May.
That's it's unheard of to me since I've been here for ten years.
And it's been unusually cool here in Alabama.
I've been here twenty-three years, and a couple of weeks ago, for the first time that I saw in twenty-three years, we had a late freeze that froze not just the flowers, but half the trees, the new foliage died.
And a lot of these trees are not going to come back.
I'd never seen that happen before.
Some of them are, you know, hundred-year-old oak trees.
Well, we'll pray for them.
Uh uh the Gaya has been unkind to uh some of her subjects.
Dr. Roy Spencer from the uh University of Alabama at Huntsville.
Thanks for your time.
It's always a pleasure to talk to you and enlightening.
So the subtropical storm up there, Andrea Mitchell, the result of unusually cold air coming unusually far south.
Back after this.
Ha, welcome back.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, I'm holding here in my uh formerly nicotine-stained fingers, the October 2005 issue of the nation's most widely read political uh newsletter.
This is the Limbaugh Letter.
And uh showing it for the people watching on the Ditto Cam today, Rush Limbaugh.com.
What you're looking at there is a map graphically illustrating how many National Guard troops are deployed and available in every state, all across the fruited plain, including Alaska and Hawaii.
Now, in this case, back in October 2005, when we went to this, uh, created the graphic, there were 4,000 National Guard troops in Kansas.
But what the we we we did this around a story entitled, Where Was the National Guard?
And I was reminded of this uh because this you know a year and a half ago that we did this, but we had a little bit today, a discussion of Kathleen Sabilius, the uh the governor of of uh Kansas, who came right out and said, We don't have any National Guard here, and it's because we're in Iraq.
And I said, I don't believe she came up with that under.
I think that's part of Democrat Party strategy.
I think it's in the handbook when there's a disaster, particularly in a state with a Democrat governor, you blame Bush.
And you blame Iraq, and you do everything you can to to deflect attention away from whatever incompetence on the local level, such as Kathleen Blanco and School Bus Negan in New Orleans and in Kansas now, uh, the mayor of Sibelius.
And and we did this in the post-Catrina era because they did it during Katrina.
Well, there's no National Guard in no more sent Bush and sent them over there fighting a war.
We can't win an immoral war, an unjust war.
Bush lied, people died, now people died in New Orleans.
Bush just not only steered the hurricane to New Orleans, Bush created Katrina, aimed it there because he wanted to kill Democrats, and he made sure there's no National Guard to help it.
And that's what they're out there saying.
And and that is why, and I will reiterate this.
I I do not believe that that Governor Sibelius came up with this on her own.
I think there would probably a handbook, they either discuss this or she got a call from someplace at Democrat headquarters, wherever there's a bunch of deaf different Democrat headquarters.
Here's what you're gonna say about this.
Uh and we we we had a little mock-up here of the Democrats' disaster handbook, hurricane response plan, but it also would work in a case of a tornado.
First thing you say is, and this is this this forms all other thinking.
I hate Bush.
Bush sucks, Bush is Hitler or Bull Connor.
Bush is really dumb.
He knew in advance, but didn't respond.
He sent the National Guard to Iraq when it was needed at home.
It's FEMA's fault.
Bush took money from local reconstruction levies or what have you, and used it for the war, and that's why a whole town got blown away in Greensburg, Kansas.
Bush failed to preserve the wetlands.
Bush has refused to fix global warming.
All these things.
This is I know this handbook, we make mockery of it here, but I know it exists.
So Dean is uh running the website today, Coco is uh is out.
But uh pages 10 and 11, October 2005 Limbaugh letter reproduced and make a PDF out of this, and uh and post it at Rush Limbaugh.com in support of my instinctive understanding and monologue today on the reaction of the governor of Kansas and my theory that it was a pre-programmed response, perhaps even ordered and dictated to response by higher powers in the Democrat hierarchy.
Brief time out here, folks.
We'll be back and continue with broadcast excellence after this.
What do you mean, aren't we ready?
We've been ready.
We've been executing and performing here on the EIB network over two and a half hours now.
You know, speaking of this, it reminds me of something.
Speaking of this defaced billboard of me in Baltimore.
Reminds me when I was in Sacramento at KFBK, and back when the television news operations out there were really solid.
Uh just as an aside, the station put a series of billboards up uh on me.
Because back then, believe it or not, I was controversial then too.
And uh this billboard that I'm gonna describe for you won a local ad club award.
And it was uh uh two or three of them around town, and it it was a picture of a car radio uh dial back in the 80s.
When it was nothing was digital, it was just something digital was just starting.
So you had the AM dial and you had the five or six push buttons under it that you could push to change stations.
And there was a hand with one finger ready to push a button.
Uh, and it had our station, KFBK 1530, denoted on the radio dial.
And the line was, wouldn't you just love to punch Rush Limbaugh?
And then the next billboard had tomatoes look like eggs and stuff thrown at it.
And then the next billboard had even more of that kind of stuff.
So we defaced our own billboards.
Uh just as a as a humorous marketing campaign.
So that's why the idea, and I got this from the emailer, hey, leave that billboard alone and just add another line to it.
Listen to see what the left doesn't want you to know is a good idea.
I don't know if it's too late, and it's their billboard, so they might it's WCBM's billboard, they might they might want to clean it up.
There was a performance art billboard.
It was a it was made to look like it had been defaced.
It wasn't, it was painted.
The paint and all that, the eggs, the rotten eggs and the and the tomatoes and stuff.
Uh were thrown over my name.
Uh didn't didn't put my picture on the uh on the on the billboard.
The local station didn't want me getting too popular because they'd have to really pay me a lot of money.
So that's just how local radio is.
I was stunned I got the billboards to frankly.
Uh but anyway, say if if you if you haven't done anything down the WCBM, leave it alone.
Just add a line to it.
Listen to see what the left doesn't want you to know.
All right, to the audio sound bites.
This is we'll start with Mitt Romney.
Uh this is yesterday on the campaign trail, responding to Al Sharpton's insensitive remark about Mormons.
His comment was a uh bigoted comment.
Uh it shows that uh bigotry uh still exists in some corners.
And uh I thought it was a most unfortunate comment to make.
Okay, so last night on Paula's on now, the Reverend Sharpton went to do damage control.
Uh, and she said to him, so obviously Mr. Romney thinks you were making negative comments about his religion.
Now, in this case, see it's like when Jesse Jackson went on the Today Show with Meredith Vier.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Reverend.
Please forgive me, Reverend Jackson.
I gotta mention you did call New York Heime Town.
You know, beg for forgiveness before reminding the Reverend Jackson of what he'd said.
In this case, there was no there's no assumption of guilt in the case of Sharpton by Paul Azan, because they're on the same side.
They're Democrats, they're libs.
So the idea here is give Sharpton some wiggle room.
So the question so obviously Mr. Romney thinks you were making negative comments about his religion.
We all know you weren't, but that's what he thinks.
So um, were you saying that Mormons aren't real Christians?
Oh, what I was responding to.
As interesting, he did not attack Mr. Hitchens, who said this.
That he Mr. Hitchens had said that the Mormons had in fact had in their articles of faith that blacks were not to be part of an inclusiveness of God.
And I said, don't worry about that anyway.
That's the case that real believers, not atheists, because the argument was over atheists.
The argument was not about Mormon.
Real uh real believers, not atheists.
Who's going to vote against them anyway?
Because I don't think Romney will win.
Uh well.
Okay.
Nice shift of gears.
The Reverend Sharpton then continued.
I think now Mr. Romney, since I didn't bring this up, Hitchens did, has opened the door for me to say, well, wait a minute.
Is Hitchens right?
Is this the history of uh the Mormons?
And were you part of that history?
Did you were you were you a part of this church before they renounced this?
So you see what the Reverend Sharpton has done here.
He's gone on the offense.
He's turned it around.
You Mormons, you have any res you have a part of this history of denying blacks equality in Mormon in the Mormon religion.
And of course, Paula Zond is sitting there like a zombie with a with a with a giant smile on her face.
And uh and she says, so you deny what Hitchens is saying.
What the Hitchens is this not about Hitchens.
Sharpton's already been blaming Hitchens for what he said.
You gotta marvel at this.
Only in the drive-by media would a perp be allowed to get away with this kind of maneuvering.
So uh you deny what Hitchens is saying when he thinks that you were making distinctions and somehow suggesting that Mormons weren't real Christians.
I'm telling you what I meant, and I'm telling you what I said.
I'm also telling you what Hitchens said.
Hitchens, according to what you just played, attacked the Mormons.
Hitchens did.
It's strange that Romney didn't attack Hitchens.
Hitchens is not attacking Romney.
I'm the one that belonged to a race that couldn't join the Mormons, and I'm the one that's the biggest.
But you're talking about trying to pass the buttons.
So after all this, we got we got a we got a we got an emergency delivery uh at at uh at our at our business offices today was a new commercial from the Justice Brothers demanding to be running today's schedule.
You know what we have just witnessed here in these soundbites?
We have just witnessed that Al Sharpton can play three-card money with his mouth.
That's that's some of the slickest maneuvering.
I couldn't keep up with it.
First it was Hitchens, and then it was the Mormons denying black equality.
And then it was Sharpton wasn't allowed to join.
I wasn't allowed to join him.
And it's all Mitt Romney's fault.
And you've got this newsreader.
I see it in the city going, um, Fort Collins, Colorado.
This is Scott.
Welcome to the EIV network.
You're cracking me up.
Uh let's see.
Uh uh, what am I gonna say?
R uh Rush, it's a pleasure.
I've been with you since the beginning.
Thank you.
Our local, a local radio reporter here, Amy Oliver, she had a uh thing today where Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins, uh, they had this test in one of their math classes from one of their teachers, and the test basically kind of goes that uh X amount of Democrats minus X amount of liars of Republicans equals the answer.
That was actually on the Well, now wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I'm not sure I heard you correctly.
You're talking about a math test.
Yes.
What grade It's a high school, so high school, okay.
So they're talking about people with fourth grade educations.
Uh, and the uh the test.
The test has a question that says X amount of Democrats minus X amount of liars or Republicans equals the answer.
No, X amount of uh liars, Republicans.
So, you know, no or just liars slash Republicans, ha ha.
Uh what did they use, do they call Republicans liars in the test question?
That's what I'm getting at.
Well, the the questi the test question, yes, is X amount of Democrats minus X amount of liars slash Republicans equals the answer.
And uh there was only one student that was really upset about it and get gave her this test, and uh so I'm kind of figured you'd have some fun with that I uh I would I would like to see this only one student expressed outrage.
Yeah, absolutely.
And when the uh the station called uh high school principal, they sort of it like it was just a joke, like it was uh oh, it just didn't fun and everybody knew it was just for fun.
Well, you know, is it possible that there was only one student who expressed outrage because the others couldn't read it.
It's possible.
Or maybe they don't know what Democrats and Republicans are, or whatever.
But what what uh the teacher just said this is just oh, we're just having fun here.
Yeah, that's correct.
Just a joke.
Just a joke, and uh evidently everybody there in the classroom.
Everybody knew it was a joke.
Yeah.
And there was only this one question this way.
There were or were there other questions on the math test that uh referred to Republicans as liars, or just this one.
Justice one as far as I know.
For all we know, probably progress.
Um it it might have been the case that in tests passed uh, you know, many questions dealt with Republicans in some derogatory fashion.
But hey, look, that's what's happening in the public education.
It's just a joke.
What Joe Biden called uh Obama clean and our t it's shh just a joke.
Joe Biden's mouth uh sometimes can't control the lips.
It just happens, you know.
Get over it.
Uh same thing here.
Uh anyway, I appreciate the uh info, Scott.
Thanks much for the phone call.
We'll be right back after this obscene profit timeout.
Hi, welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh.
Rhetoric and resonance and vocal vibrations.
From a left coast to the right coast here on the EIB network.
Loveland, Colorado, and Angie.
Uh thanks for waiting.
Well, nice to have you on the program.
Uh Doug, I'm sorry.
Oh, I'm looking at the line above it.
Doug, I'm sorry about that.
Welcome to the program.
Hey, this is Doug.
Yeah, I uh I got that.
Gotcha.
Well, uh I was raised in South Louisiana.
I'm in Loveland now, and my wife was laughing while reading the paper this morning because of the story about the uh tropical storm.
Subtropical storm.
Well, that's what got her attention, and we started talking.
I even called some friends of mine that still live there.
None of us could remember any press coverage about a subtropical storm.
I went online and started doing some research into it here, and they used to call them uh Alpha, Beta, Charlie, etc., all the way down the list back in the 70s, but they never really reported or talked about them until 2002 when they gave them regular names.
Yeah, uh tropical storms are usually the first things name, not subtropical storms, but well, it got my attention because uh well, due to you, I went ahead and purchased and read Michael Crichton's State of Fear.
Ah, good book.
Oh, excellent book.
Excellent book.
I plan to make copies of all the graphs in it, etc.
And it brought to mind how uh things are misreported all the time, and because now we can name subtropical storms, we can have more storms to blame.
I don't know why they didn't name this one Algor.
Well, because these things are destructive.
That's true.
Uh we I think we start need to start naming thunderstorm systems.
Every low pressure system that starts in the West and moves east needs a name.
Fronts.
Anything.
Warm front, cold front should probably be named, and we should be warned about it.
Cold front.
Yeah, that's we could make a mockery of this.
I I'll tell you what's gonna happen.
I want to prepare you.
You know, the the the traditional beginnings of hurricane season, of course, are June first.
And this is only because we say so.
God didn't decree it.
Mother Nature didn't decree it.
I mean, now we got a subtropical storm out there.
Why don't we move the start of hurricane season to uh May 1st?
Think of what the bureaucrats could do with that.
Think of how they can encroach on our freedom and raise taxes by expanding hurricane season.
And help the insurance companies charge even more money and go to help the the people sell sighting.
Yeah, gotta get that siding up the in the shutters and so forth.
Anyway.
I guarantee you I I know this is going to happen.
On June 1st.
And let me check.
I want to find out here what day of the week.
June 1st is.
June 1st.
Oh, perfect!
Slow News Day Friday.
June 1st is a fresh.
So here's what's going to happen.
You're going to have network and cable network camera crews out there on the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico, scanning the horizon on the first of June.
They know there won't be anything out there to see.
Because if there is something they can see, it means the hurricane's at least a week old.
So they're going to go out there on June 1st.
There will not be any hurricane.
They'll scan the horizon, and in a little box, there will be running, you know, B-roll of uh the destruction from Hurricane Katrina.
And they'll sneak in a couple blips of the destroyed town Greensburg, Kansas, even though that was a tornado.
And they'll have and they'll have their reporters out there monitoring the circumstances, the situation.
And we get all the statistics about how then death and destruction has occurred since 2005, peak hurricane season, which of course is BS, uh peak hurricane year.
And they'll be out there, and it's all to create a climate of fear.
All to create tumult and chaos.
And to get everybody all ratcheted up and uh and ready for destruction, death, and and uh and disaster.
And it'll go on.
I mean, it'll they'll they'll make a big D have it on Friday, June 1st, since it is a Friday.
This is Artie in Mexico Beach, Florida.
Artie, I got about a minute here, a minute and a half.
Welcome to the program.
Hi.
Nice to talk to you, Rush.
Great to have you with us.
Uh I wish I I wish that uh I I had been on before that Roy Spencer, because he probably could nail the uh time that this happened.
But uh, I've been here in uh North Florida for 37 years, and we had a storm in March.
Um I think it was the middle of March, and I wish I could remember the year.
I have a feeling it was in the nineties.
Anyway, it was a doozy, and they they did end up calling it the storm of the century, because it's it's I I'm not it it wasn't even forecast as far as I could remember, but it tore off we had built some um shallow uh docks out from our uh bay, and uh and of course it took those all out and knocked them clear down a hundred yards or so.
And uh you sure this wasn't a tornado.
No, oh no, it was not.
Uh they did uh they did uh end up with uh winds of uh 70 miles an hour, as I recall.
We uh we lived on the Bay site at that time and uh down in Cape San Blas, which is North Florida.
If you look that little squiggle that comes out, that's where we were.
And uh anyway squiggle.
Yeah, a little it's a little it's a they could it's a peninsula uh that just goes off and find out where you are.
Uh do you know where Panama City is?
Do I know where what is Panama City?
Oh, yes.
Okay, so so uh Cape San Blast, if you keep going flying coast, south, and east and get uh and get south of Port St. Joe, which is another big town.
Okay, I'm gonna look this up because I I was uh I had uh uh you don't remember the year, we'll try to find it, but uh the interesting information to put in the hopper.
We got to run here, Artie, but thanks for the call.
Stay where you are, folks, be right back.
Is tomorrow gonna be Friday, actually?
Tomorrow is f my gosh, the week has gone by.
Well, open line Friday.
That's always a can of worms.
And we'll it is.
