Time Text
I just saw the funniest thing to me.
What was it was Fox, right?
I'm in Snerdley's office, so we're it's got Fox on in there.
And it's it's video of uh people in New Orleans, you know, I don't know, rafts diving in to rescue people and so forth.
And the and the graphic says New Orleans prepares for next hurricane disaster.
This is a good time to be doing how long ago was Hurricane Katrine?
About a year and a half.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
I'd have been more impressed if I had school bus drivers out there driving the buses out of town on a dry run.
How can you laugh about that, right?
I'm laughing at the news coverage, you people.
Hey, welcome back, open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh on the cutting edge.
Great to be with you here.
It's Open Line Friday.
We go to the phones and the program is all yours.
I love Open Line Friday.
They get a wide, very diverse number of things that we end up discussing.
And I never know what they're going to be, so that's that's cool.
You know, I think we need to come up with a new name for hurricane season.
A hurricane season doesn't cut it.
I think we need to call it terror cane season or horror cane season.
Because that's how it's being marketed.
Terror cane or horror cane season.
Anyway, I want to go back to this guy, Terrence, uh, who called from Boston, who was profoundly offended by the latest Lowe's commercial, which shows uh a man and his wife in there to try to talk into a sales consultant about getting some stuff.
I haven't seen a commercial, so I'm just repeating for memory what he told me.
And uh everything the wife wants to get, the husband says, no, no, no, no, I I uh I know how to use that.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
The guy is made out to be a total buffoon, which is not uncommon in television advertising.
Men have been buffoons, and I mean, especially beer commercials.
If I see one more can of beer hit a guy in the in the in the in the groin, I mean it's not even funny anymore.
Try that with a woman.
Try that kind of stuff, but everybody just sits around, laughs at this sort of stuff.
But men have constantly been made buffoons.
I mean, the last real man in a television commercial I remember was Mr. Clean.
And he was animated.
And what did he do?
He cleaned the floor.
Oh, the brawny towel guy, that's right.
Of course, the Marlborough man, but you know, that's a that's a different thing altogether.
Uh I think I think one of the things I I mean that when I tell you advertising is a window on the soul of America.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am in the advertising business.
And as such, I I have uh uh over the over many years here, I uh I am there is no advertisement that works.
Well, I can't say there's some that have worked on me, but I stand back and study these things for what they tell me sociologically and culturally.
Uh I am not susceptible to tricks and the come ons that are in advertising, because I know the business.
And I know what I want before I see it advertise anyway.
Uh but I think most people watch, watch, watch commercials and don't they just watch them for what they are, with the entertainment value.
But look at the Super Bowl.
It's almost as popular for the commercials as it is for the game, and especially if the game's a stinko, uh, then the commercials do become the the primary attraction.
Now, if if this woman knows how to fix the house up and the guy doesn't, then what that tells me is the people that put the commercial together have done some research and found out that's gonna relate to a whole lot of couples.
I mean, Lowe's is in the business of selling stuff, not offending the customer base.
And they're not gonna do a commercial that's not in their mind as they go to production on, they're not gonna produce a commercial that is uh unrepresentative of truth unless it's an obvious satire.
So one of the things this commercial could have been doing, uh, and we're searching for the for the audio of this now.
I don't know if we'll find it, because we normally don't record commercials here at the EIB network, but uh Joe's looking for it.
If we find it, we'll uh we'll play it for you.
And I want to hear it myself, too.
Now I'm somewhat intrigued by it.
But I think this could be speaking to men's aspirations.
Now you just look, no, wait a minute.
This is the if I'm I'm telling you from the Lowe's perspective on this, Snurdley.
Snurdley told me to break.
He thought the guy, Terrence in Boston, was right on the money.
And you're sick and tired of the way men are pre portrayed here as helpless buffoons and linguini-spine little, you know, how many times can they get wrapped around their wives' little finger kind of guys, right?
You're fed up with that.
But this could have been appealing from the Lowe's standpoint to men's aspirations.
They want to be able to fix things, but they aren't sure they know how, and they don't want to be embarrassed in front of the girl.
They don't want to be embarrassed in front of the woman.
They don't want to look dumb by screwing it up.
And uh the commercial, actually, from the Lowe's standpoint, Lowe's could say, hey, look at the ending of our commercial.
This commercial affirms that men can learn to fix things.
Now that's kind of insulting itself, but given where we are in our culture today, who knows?
But I guarantee you, they're not producing the commercial to make people mad.
If they find out that it's done that, they might cancel it.
I don't know what how representative uh Terrence in Boston is uh on this, but anyway, it's a um advertising a whole fascinating thing to study.
Try it.
Try try just when you next time you're watching television, don't zip past commercials or don't get up.
Just watch them.
Uh and take yourself out of them uh from the standpoint of a customer or somebody they're trying to reach.
Uh I was in marketing for the Kansas City Royals once, sales and marketing.
And uh we had a marketing plan, and we put it together every off-season.
Off season for people like marketing people and salespeople is the busiest time uh if they work for professional sports franchise.
And every year the local media would call up, what's the marketing plan?
What's the thing?
We're not gonna tell you.
We're not gonna we're not gonna give people a heads up.
We're just gonna execute the plan.
We're not gonna sit here and tell you what we're gonna do so you can go out and prepare people to insulate themselves from the plan.
The plan is the plan.
It can be sprung on people, and it's designed to work when they don't know what's coming.
We don't even think of it as a marketing plan.
It's but but but uh uh and that that that to me was was one of the fascinating things about it uh was how can we, in our case, improve attendance.
And we quickly decided that there are too many baseball fans out there to prospect for than that rather than spend time going out and find people who aren't.
So the objective became find people to go once or twice and find a way to get them to come four or five times.
And that's how you bump up the uh the attendance.
You can send people out in a community and say you're a big baseball fan, no.
Well, you ought to be.
Let me tell you why.
Waste of time.
Baseball's what it has been around long enough.
Somebody doesn't like it, they don't like it, and they're not a prospect.
Uh with Lowe's Home Depot, whatever, they're they got their specific products to sell, and and they've got they put a lot of research into these commercials.
So you just sit there and watch the next time you have a television on, watch the commercials and and separate yourself from it as a consumer and try to figure out what the commercial tells you about what the company running it thinks of America.
Because they that's that's that's what they're trying to do, is have that commercial work on you.
Uh and of course the anti-capitalists hate this because they think uh that we already buy too much stuff and that markets are based too much on consumerism, and so they they have their their own way of insulating themselves from it.
Anyway, what political ads are the same way.
But but depends on the season of the political ad.
In the primary season, political ads are run for a specific unit, and that's the base of uh of the party uh in question.
You have to get after that you get the general election, and uh then you can you this this probably is more applicable uh.
Plus they're regional characteristics involved in that.
We're talking national advertising here.
Anyway, let me take a brief time out.
We'll be back and uh continue with more of your phone calls, and I've got some audio summites I want to get to as well before we have to uh split the scene today.
Sit tight, we'll be right back.
And we went by uh went back to the news archives, and this this is a great illustration of just what we've been talking about.
I mean we mentioned the brawny man, I said the last manly guy uh in advertising was Mr. Clean, and I said the brawny man.
Uh back in the 70s, the icon for the brawny man was a Paul Bunyan type.
Little rough-shaven, dark-haired plaid shirt.
And then uh in in uh when did this happen?
This is early 2000s.
They decided to uh uh at at uh this company Brony paper towels, they decided to to change the icon and turn the guy into metrosexual.
And I've got I've got the picture of the two things side by side.
It's not large enough to show you on the uh on the ditto can on the ditto cam, but uh uh the it's it's it's uh the different totally well actually I got it wrong.
The the the Well uh put it on the website and show you, but you can see the difference there.
Uh and and that and they did that uh because they gotta relate to customers and sell the stuff.
This this stuff happens all the time.
Advertising to me is a fascinating thing.
Here's Amy in Fort Eustace, Virginia.
Amy, thank you for calling and waiting.
Nice to have you on the program.
Thank you so much for taking my call, Rush.
I'm very excited to be talking to you.
Thank you.
Um I just wanted to call um first let me tell you a little bit about myself really quick.
Um I grew up uh an Air Force brat.
My father did not retire until I was a freshman in college.
Uh and then when I was twenty, I married a man who had just finished up flight school uh in the army.
So um and that was almost fifteen years ago.
So my whole um my whole life I know the military lifestyle, um that's about all I know.
Um and along with that comes moving around all the time.
Um I am in uh I'll be thirty-five years old this year.
Um I am in my twenty-first house in my life.
Um we move all the time.
Um Army has moved us uh eight times in the last fourteen years.
Um but you know, I I'm not complaining about that.
I like it, it's always an adventure.
Um but um I was just talking uh with my mom the other day, and none of my family lives anywhere that I ever lived growing up because they have moved around as well.
So I really don't have a concept of going home uh anywhere.
Um and I go visit family, but it's not really my home.
It's a strange city, you know.
Uh and we were trying to think of what uh constitutes home uh for me.
And uh of course, wherever my husband and my kids are, that certainly helps.
But also um uh I had this realization that no matter where I have lived, especially over the past ten years or so, I have had Rush Limbaugh.
And uh we you know, we have the radio everywhere and uh I can just turn it on and uh so I wanted to thank you for being, I guess, my stability and uh and and my home uh for especially for the past tw ten or twelve years or two.
Wow, I don't know what to say.
That is so sweet.
That's so nice.
Sweet uh metrosexual word.
Uh well you're my you're much more attractive than the new uh brawny man.
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
I agree with that.
Uh wow, I I'm I'm um well, I'm not often speechless, and I'm not speechless now because I'm talking.
But I that that's that's one of the nicest things anybody's ever said to me.
Well well, thank you.
I I you know I've been trying to do that.
I mean, if you would take the time of uh of all things to to take the time to call about to thank me for that or to mention that that that's very, very touching.
I of all the things that got you obviously have going on in your life to stop what you're doing today and make this phone call is uh I I am actually sitting also outside of uh the Fort Eustace military uh base uh because I can't talk on my cell phone uh when I am on uh you know on the post.
So you left your home to make the call even.
Why that well I was I was driving and I wasn't sure I was gonna get through, and I thought while I was driving I would try, and of course I I got through, so I have pulled over and I'm sitting here, it's at least 180 degrees out here.
Um and uh I'm not gonna be able to get uh my grocery shopping done because I have to go pick up my kids, but we'll just go out to dinner tonight and celebrate that I got to talk to you.
And uh it's a good day.
Well, uh that's that's that's the that is so nice.
I I uh I wish my mother were alive to hear you say that.
I really do my my mother she th th the this would make her so proud it would wash away whatever bad memory she might have of me for at least a couple days.
Well good.
No, no, I'm kidding she would she this would be something she'd be telling all of her friends about.
She she was always so excited when anybody loved her little boy.
Well, well, we absolutely do here, and and we talk about you in your show, and uh my husband has received one of the um uh twenty four seven for the military, uh one of the the subscription can buy.
The adopt a soldier thing.
Yes, and so uh when when he is traveling around uh he he logs in and and when he's not able to listen to you during the day, uh he logs in and and can get updated and and uh so we we just enjoy you and enjoy your show and and I wanted to tell you that uh uh you you were like home for me, so thank you.
Well I appreciate that more than you know.
Tell you what I'm gonna do.
I want you to hang on here.
Uh Mr. Snurdle will come get uh uh an address for you because I want I want to send you a bunch of uh Nobel Peace Prize commemorative coffee mugs.
Oh, wonderful.
Yes, and and uh I might throw a couple other things in there too.
This this is uh this is one of the highlights of the week here is your phone call.
I I th thank you again so much.
Thank you so much.
And by the way, Amy is uh in the top ten uh my favorite uh female names, uh just just so you know.
Well, thank you.
I was named after my grandmother, a very good woman.
So thank you.
Obviously she was, so are you.
Thank you so much.
Uh does your husband know how to do fix-up things around the house?
Um he likes to think so.
See, there we go.
He likes to think so.
No, he he is I I'm gonna get in trouble now.
He's if he's not listening, we're gonna play this uh get it offline and I'm gonna be in trouble.
But uh no, he's No, that's an endearing loving comment.
That's nothing he's gonna get mad at.
He's uh, you know, he he's actually pretty handy.
Um I get nervous if he ever has super glue or weed killer uh in his hands because he tends to go a little overboard there.
But other than that, uh he he's pretty handy to have around.
All right, terrific.
Well, you hang on here now, don't hang up.
Okay, so name it.
You know, I just I just remembered something.
I have to tell this this short little story.
I was married, uh living in Kansas City, bought a little house, had no business buying it, but did.
They had a next door neighbor who just was constantly repairing, fixing, taking the oil out of the car, putting it back in just to do it.
Always on the roof, had a couple six packs up there with his buddies, and and uh my then wife would say, why don't you do things like I don't want to do things like that.
I'll hire it done if I can't want to.
Uh and it it it became a it was a judgmental thing.
Uh I didn't I've never been interested at fix-up stuff.
Um I have staff.
But uh anyway, I did this I did all of that that we've been discussing reminds me.
Daniel in Bakersfield, thank you for waiting.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
What a wonderful opportunity to speak to one of my mentors.
Well, I appreciate that, sir.
Thank you very much.
I was calling to ask you what you would do if you were a nobody wanting to market yourself to be a somebody, you know, if you wanted to start a business.
How would you market yourself?
Um well, it's tough for me to relate to being a nobody, but let me uh let me try.
Actually, I was a nobody for most of my life.
And I never I th the best answer I could give you is is this what I I never considered uh a separate marketing plan to accompany what I was doing on the radio.
I just I tried to just let the r uh performance, the radio show, the quality of it speak for itself and let that take care of the marketing, the word of mouth or what have you.
The business that I'm in radio uh in in local markets, the it's you know, television and radio are m much different.
You if you watch television, you'll television's constantly promoting their stars of their personalities.
The local news people are made out to be heroes and big billboards all over town.
They're constantly do radio does not do that.
Uh radio never has done it's very rare.
It happens on occasion, but by uh it's almost a uh a managerial uh theory uh that the station itself, if anything is gonna get marketed or promoted, it will be the station.
But m radio people rely on the product itself to sell itself.
And that's just what uh I had to I had to you know be accustomed to that uh and subject to that in my younger days in uh in radio.
When I started this program in August of nineteen eighty-eight, uh I I let the performance speak for itself.
Now we had people on the on the other side going out trying to convince radio stations to take the program, but that was not public marketing.
That was um uh that was not public advertising.
And what I did do the first two years, that's when the Rush to Excuse tour was born I went out and you know uh forty seven weekends a year I was traveling as we got a new station I would go there and and uh do a public appearance to shore up that uh that relationship but I uh I are you're gonna go into business is that what you're thinking of doing yes I am trying to go into business what kind of business vaguely generically um financial education for um teenagers financial education for
teenage that's interesting can you hang on to the break here yes yeah because uh we have to take it now we're out of time be right back don't go away folks it's open line Friday I am well known radio recon tour general all around good guy Rush Limbaugh here at the prestigious Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies back to Daniel in Bakersfield.
All right Daniel um uh you're a nobody and you want to market your new business which is uh economic education to teenagers did you say?
Yes.
All right.
Now, my analogy is not actually a great one for you because while I was nobody, I mean, automatically being on the radio, that's mass media.
So I had a chance, you know, I wasn't working in a vacuum.
I wasn't working anonymously.
I wasn't working nobody knowing it.
I was on the radio.
People could tune it in if they didn't like it.
It worked.
So I had a built in delivery system for what I was trying to do, which was the radio.
You don't.
uh hence your question and how well how first off how far along are you on this uh well are you ready to launch it I what I've done is raising the money to launch a professional website and stuff is what I've done is what I'm working on.
I've written a book for kids and stuff and you know and so I'm hoping from has the book been published?
Yes it has.
Okay so the book's out there so people are gonna um and it's gonna be a web service that's primarily where people are going to find you yes yeah um like the book is the rich kid and um like and I have a website the rich kid dot com that people can buy the book from see you have you have just engaged here in the most brilliant marketing strategy you could have conceived of and I don't even know if you're aware of it.
Well I am aware I'm not you know you know what just happened here.
Yes I do.
All right so you you millions of people have just heard about your idea and uh I will endorse the idea for you here as a nice guy.
The idea of teaching economics to kids is brilliant because they're not learning it.
All right?
That's very true.
I didn't learn it when I was younger and kids today surely aren't learning it.
Well we're gonna assume that you know it do you know what you're teaching.
Yes I do.
How do we know that?
I mean you can claim it but how do we know it?
Ooh how do you know it?
Well you tell me where you studied.
Tell me where you tell tell me what uh I don't want your whole resume here but you're just somebody shops at Lowe's and thinks that you know uh economics now.
That's right.
It's not I'm not claiming to teach people you know total economics just basic you know financial responsibility for kids well you need to expand it.
Because you need to get a little economics in addition to in in addition to financial responsibility.
Well you need to you know you need to get into a what's what's the name of that website again I didn't write it down.
TheRichKid.com.
The rich kid dot com.
I assume on that website they can buy your book.
Yes.
And I assume on that website they can determine what your course is and how they can access it for their kids or kids can find it themselves.
You have a MySpace page no I don't have a MySpace page do that and link to your MyPace MySpace page from your the rich kid dot com website.
Okay.
Now the the your MySpace page a lot of kids use these just here's everything about me please call me don't do that.
You use your MySpace page as a way of of of uh telling people who you are, why you care about this and so forth.
Just give you a little double hit out there of web action.
That's very good.
I will set that up.
Right.
And then once this hits, and once this takes off, you send me the value of the commercial here.
You've gotten uh let's see what kind of you've got about we talk about this for four minutes now?
So that's eighty grand you owe me.
Okay.
Just kidding.
And that's what that's with a little reduction on the rate card.
We are volume discounts here at the EIB network.
Anyway, so your your marketing's been taken care of.
It's up to you now, pal.
That website better be good.
It better have stuff on it people want.
That's you can know you we can do all the my here's here's the point to you.
Serious.
You can do all the marketing in the world, but if it isn't true about your product, they're gonna find out eventually, and there's no amount of marketing or PR that's gonna save you.
The quality of what you do has to be has to be predominant.
Right.
I understand that.
I I want to make it clear right now, I haven't um all that's on the website right now is the book.
I haven't because I'm raising money to make a more professional website to market the okay.
Now we're backtracking a little bit here.
No, no.
I'm not backtracking.
I'm just clarifying, you know, all right, clarify.
You may you made the assumption that there was educational It's my fault.
Now I'll tell you something else you're going to have to do.
Yes.
We have just crashed your server.
It may be on fire as we speak.
Uh it maybe it may be smoky.
You're going to need uh additional server space.
Uh well, you uh if you want to handle a load, it'll it'll slow down as the afternoon progresses.
But we're gonna link we're gonna link to this on my website when we update it, so after you're gonna your server, you're you you are gonna have no excuse for failure here.
By by by midnight tonight is your window to make this work.
Well do.
All right.
And if you're having if people are having trouble getting on the website, they can also get the book on Amazon.com.
Oh wait a minute You don't need any marketing advice.
You little snake.
Call here want marketing advice.
No, you're actually very smart.
You've uh you've done some of the smartest marketing ever, and it cost you nothing.
Thank you very much.
You bet.
Don't expect it in the future.
We're happy to help young entrepreneurs here at the EIB network, but eventually we get our take.
Uh who's next on this program?
Gail in Dayton, Ohio.
You're next on Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Uh Rush.
Hey.
I want to say what an honor it is to speak with the broadcast specialist, the king of AM radio, and even at this time, uh FM broadcast.
Absolutely.
There's no question, the king of radio, sir.
Yes, sir.
Thank you for taking my call.
You bet.
I do have a question for you, and it has a concern with uh the GH summit and President Bush, and uh you know, we we're dealing with the global warming.
You know, I mean it it comes up every single day if you look at the uh tell me about it, I know.
Yes, sir.
And it comes up all the time, and all you gotta do is look at NBC, CBS, so on so forth.
But look at it's part of the liberal agenda.
That's why.
And it's it's reported the same way every time it's reported as it's it's it's uh feta compli, there's no doubt about it.
It's uh it's it's it's part of the left's political agenda.
It's a part of the left gentle political agenda, but uh what do you think of uh President Bush's uh stance on the uh uh on that agenda because it seems to me he's leaning toward uh this G eight summit and and global warming and so while you and my you and me might not agree with the uh with the uh global warming agenda,
does President Bush do you think?
Well, uh it's I I uh I I think at this stage in the president's uh term and his administration.
Uh he he's he's uh all sides are caving in on him now.
Uh and it might be that in this he's taking the path of least resistance.
I think you're right.
Yeah, uh look let's let's listen.
Grab audio soundbite number one out there.
Uh Nancy Pelosi got back recently from seeing global warming.
Uh She went to Greenland and she saw some, she said.
And this morning on Capitol Hill, she had a press conference, a news conference on global warming.
Trevor Burrus, Jr.
It was with profound disappointment that we heard immediately upon our return to Washington that President Bush announced a climate change proposal that really was about changing the subject, but not changing the policy.
It rehashed stale ideas.
While other countries in the EU are acting globally, the President continues to want to go it alone.
The weakness of his proposal leads us to question whether he fully understands the urgency of global warming because it is not matched by the seriousness of his suggestions.
The facts are conclusive, the science is clear, and yet the President continues to be in denial.
So you see there, and I'm one of the things when you're when you're I I read the stories in the drive-by media about Bush, and they're they're portraying this.
He took it to 180.
He's totally caved.
I don't think that's the case.
I I I think he's going over there, and what he's going to tell these people he's willing to do is going to disappoint Angela Merkel in Germany.
I don't I don't think he's done a total cave on this at all.
He might have moderated his position a bit.
But uh the Libs are not happy with this because he hasn't adopted their position on it, regardless whatever changes he's suggesting that he might make, uh still not adopting the liberal uh position on this.
Nancy Pelosi, by the way, she was over in in in in Greenland, talked about all of the destruction and all of the global warming and all the changes.
And it's not Greenland's fault, by the way.
No, no, no, it's not Greenland's fault.
It's ours.
Greenland responsible at all for what's happening in their own country.
Their own continent, whatever the uh uh I can't I can't emphasize enough, folks.
This whole thing's a hoax.
It's nothing more than the latest way to push the big government liberal agenda.
All it is.
In fact, she went on.
Let's let's let's play a couple more of these.
She also took after the NASA administrator, Michael Griffin, who made some brilliant points on NPR yesterday.
Here's what she said about him.
Just listen to the p President's own NASA administrator, Dr. Michael Griffin, when he said yesterday.
I have no doubt that a trend of global warming exists.
I'm not sure that it's fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with.
This is a uh uh very well-educated scientist.
Why would he say such a thing?
Because he is smarter than you are about this.
Why would he probably do you might keep m Ms. Pelosi, would you ever stop to consider that Mr. Griffin might believe what he's saying as a scientist, something which you are not.
Let's listen to what Griffin said.
He was interviewed by uh uh somebody named Inskeep, I think Steve Inskeep at NPR yesterday questioned.
It's been mentioned that NASA is not spending as much money as it could to study climate change, global warming from space.
Are you concerned about global warming?
I'm aware that global warming exists.
I uh understand that the uh bulk of scientific evidence accumulated uh supports the claim that we've had about a one-degree centigrade uh rise in temperature over the last century uh to within an accuracy of about twenty percent.
I'm also aware of recent findings that appear to have nailed down uh pretty well nailed down the conclusion that much of that is man-made.
Uh whether that is a uh long-term concern or not, I can't say.
Here's the next question, and this is the money answer.
Well, uh, you have any doubt that this is the problem mankind has to really wrestle with.
I have no doubt that global that a trend of global warming exists.
I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with.
Uh to assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of Earth's climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had, and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn't change.
First of all, I don't think it's within the power of human beings to uh uh assure that the climate does not change.
Yes.
As As millions of years of history have shown.
Yes.
And second of all, I guess I would ask which human beings where and when are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now, uh, is the best climate for all other human beings.
Yeah, I think that's a rather arrogant uh position for uh for people to take.
Yes.
Yes, yes.
Now that's what President Bush ought to be saying.
What President Bush, there's a lesson here.
He's trying to moderate his position.
He's his position is i he's proposing technical changes, technological changes here, which is as far as it goes is good.
But you can't appease leftists.
You can't appease socialists.
Look at Pelosi.
He may have as well not done anything.
Uh it's not going to learn this.
They're never going to learn.
You can't appease these people.
You have to defeat them.
Whatever happened to that concept.
Started to burn me up.
You defeat these people.
You know, whether we whether the left's agenda's on science, whether it's on immigration, whether it's what you can't appease them.
You can't meet them halfway.
They don't compromise on things like it's all or nothing, and even if you give them all, they're still not happy.
So the NASA administrator on the God's gift on this to us the past two days.
Back in a sec.
I just got a note here from um Roy Spencer Climatologist Extraordinaire, University of Alabama, Huntsville.
He said, Rush, you can't say that warming is man-made without knowing how much is natural.
And get this.
This is a professional climatologist, by the chair.
We have no idea how much warming on earth is natural.
And if you don't know how much is natural, then you can't calculate how much is man-made.
But remember, these people are not about facts.
They are about creating an illusion of almost uh uh writing a Bible, they are on uh this create, you know, religious belief scripture on global warming.
That's really where they're headed.
By the way, look at this.
Just got a news flash, ladies and gentlemen.
General Motors and Toyota bounced back from a week April showing reporting solid gains in U.S. vehicle sales for May.
Well, what did General Motors do in May that they weren't doing in April and March and February.
That's right, snurtly.
They were advertising on the EIB.
Now, in fact, we just played, we just had an EIB uh GM spot for the uh SRS crossover.
Uh they made us give it up, folks.
They took it away from us.
And there were long faces here when they took it.
Well, we understand they could put too many miles on it, but uh they're gonna come across with a new vehicle soon.
Russ start driving around.
Congratulations to General Motors.
I knew.
I knew that that would be the case.
It never failed.
Advertis is well, yeah, well, I know you drive in New York.
You don't drive a New York, you take the subway, you take the path train.
You know, when General Motors starts selling path trains, then we'll get you one.
Subway cars or what have you.
Uh from yesterday, I didn't I didn't get to this.
We put this on the website yesterday, but I didn't have a chance to get details.
It's from the Boston Globe.
The stories out of New Frank in Wisconsin musician canned for focus on wrong organ.
Now, what do you think that's about?
A Catholic press Well, we'll f we'll find out if it's about his flute.
A Catholic priest has removed his church's organist and choir director from her duties, saying that her sale of sex toys was not consistent with church teachings.
Lynette Surveys 50 played the organ and sung in the choir for 35 years.
Much of her work as choir director and organist was done without pay.
When the parish priest asked to meet with her, she thought it was to say thanks.
Instead, she was told to quit the sales job with a company known as Pure Romance, or she would lose her position in the church.
Pure Romance, Loveland, Ohio, $60 million a year business sells spa products and sex toys uh at home parties attended by women.
It has 15,000 consultants.
I think we've gotten samples from this bunch over the uh years.
I don't remember what.
So um they got fired from the uh church organ for dealing with sex boys, other organs.
Hey, don't forget my opening skit on the half hour news hour, Fox News Channel, Sunday night, 10 o'clock.
