Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
You know, I've got the television on in here, and I I've I haven't been paying attention to the uh press conference that the owner of the mine in Utah is conducting right now, but I just got a note about it.
So you're watching, I said, No.
I got things going on.
It's close to showtime.
Apparently, this guy has unloaded on the media.
He is naming reporters by name and calling them out for bad reporting.
Uh he attacked the global warming bill, the energy bills out there.
He's uh make it impossible for poorer people uh to uh to buy their uh their energy.
Also hit Fox for bad reporting out there, too.
Apparently the guy's unloading.
And I know cookies uh rolling on this cookie.
Review the uh the minor owner, uh, mine owner press conference.
See if there's anything in there that um we'd like to hear.
Greetings, folks.
Great to have you.
Already Tuesday here on the fastest week in media.
Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone, and our phone number is uh 800 uh 282-2882.
Well, try this headline.
Macho men, not so good for long-lasting love study.
Uh forget the square jaw, forget the rugged complexion, the tough guy macho attitude.
What women really want is a man with full lips and feminine features.
This, according to a British study published on Wednesday, the findings add to previous research about masculinity and offer further insight into what people look for in others when choosing potential partners, said uh evolutionary psychologist Linda Boothroid.
I just love the name of these.
I've got a story in the stack here.
Some woman's been studying uh uh uh genetically altering the sex preferences of female mice, and her name is Breedlove.
Uh it just I love the names of some of these people.
Anyway, if if uh if if uh macho men are not so good for long-lasting love, according to a study, then this is great news for the Breck Girl.
This is fabulous news for John Edwards, ladies, made to order.
So here's our latest tune dedicated to him, coming up now.
I know you people want to hear me in the opening monologue of the program, but that just too good.
It just fit with the story that macho guys are not good for long-lasting love.
Now it's the UK, and no time to panic here, folks.
We know that Europe's screwed up anyway, but anyway, uh by the way, speaking of women, WPMS is dead, flushed uh the uh this this the feminist talk network, Greenstone Radio.
They're folding up.
Uh they're they're folding up shop.
Well, you're Jane Fonda, Gloria Synem uh started this thing and um their period's over.
Yeah, and a major blow to its high profile backers, including Gloria Snyum, Rosie O'Donnell, Jane Fonda, and others.
Feminist talk radio network, Greenstone Media is about to shut down, according to several trade magazine reports.
Despite its famous investors, ready access to cash and relatively high profile in the industry, Greenstone, WPMS struggled to uh gain WNAG.
That was their affiliate W PMS W N-A-G-W-F-E-M.
I get three stations out there.
What is this?
What what are you libs gonna learn that commercial enterprises do not do not even think of funding?
Predicted this.
In fact, let's go back to the audio sound bites.
This got started.
It was September 14th of 2006, and the uh former PMS NBC info babe Rita Cosby was talking to Jane Fonda.
She was on to promote the uh, you know, WPMS, W N A G W F E M Women Talk Radio Network, and Rita Cosby.
So, what do you specifically think about Rush Limbaugh, Ms. Fonda?
You gotta be kidding.
They make me feel um worried about the future for my grandchildren.
This is not these are not voices that I want to invite into my brain.
I feel like they're toxic to myself, to my soul, and to other people's soul.
Life shouldn't be like that.
We women want thought-provoking, friendly, trustworthy, funny, they want to laugh, informative talk radio.
75% of them, and we did a lot of research.
So they would come back to women's talk radio if they could hear what they want to hear.
And we hope to provide it for them.
We know what they want.
We think we can give it to them.
Yeah, you know what?
This is the point that people forget about this.
I read the stories of what they were going to do, and they weren't going to do classes on bra burning.
They were going to do anything.
This was about cake recipes and baking.
It was about, it was about all things in the home children, about nurturing and so it was it was the death knell of feminism, the way these babes are programming the uh the network.
And then October of 2006 and Comedy Central, uh, this Colbert guy had uh uh Steinem and uh Jane Fonda.
Uh and uh uh Steinem was asked, is this gonna be like Rush Limbaugh for the ladies?
Well, there is no such thing as Rush Limbaugh for the ladies, you know.
Conflict is good, but it's not the entire world divided into two.
You know, I mean that there might be ten sides to an issue or twelve more sides too.
No, no, no, no.
There's only one side to an issue, and that's the right side.
There are, you know, there are many different sides to other things.
There are three sides to sex.
There are three sides to uh maybe more, there could be ten sides, depending on Steinem and Fonda and how they play it, but I mean uh issues.
This is our problem.
Well, everybody has a right to their yeah, they do, but they have a right to be stupid too, and they have a right to be wrong.
And when they're wrong, you tell them they're wrong.
There's one side to an issue.
My side.
Speaking of women, uh Elizabeth Edwards on the campaign's troubles.
Elizabeth Edwards just we just had this fed to me.
Elizabeth Edwards on uh her husband's campaign troubles.
We can't make John Black, we can't make him a woman.
Well, you don't have to.
We have already made him a woman, along with Kate Michelman.
They're having trouble out there in the Edwards campaign.
That was a story last week.
The big news they're all tied in Iowa.
The big news of that poll is how much of a lead Edwards had lost.
Female mice became sexually voracious, as we're talking about women.
Uh female mice became sexually voracious and tried to mate like males after scientists disabled a small sensory organ casting fresh light on how gender-specific behavior develops in animals.
The difference seems to lie in how male and female mice use the uh vomeronosyl or vomaronosyl.
I just I'm sure I'm pronounced that right because I am a highly trained broadcast specialist.
Uh is the the vomiron vulmaronasal.
Something in the mouth in the nose.
Uh organ to produce pheromones.
Aren't you people glad you tuned in today?
said Catherine Dulak, the Harvard biologist who led the research published in the journal Nature on uh Sunday.
Pheromones are chemical signals that many animals, including humans, use to communicate socially and uh sexually.
We go on and talk about this.
Uh female mice that did the way they altered them just to sniff away from having the male sex drive.
Do you people realize the potential out there here?
Uh now here's a here's a quote here from uh uh a neuroscientist at Michigan State, not involved in the study.
Uh this comes as a surprise to think that the neural circuitry for male behavior had been sitting in the female brain all this time.
You feel sorry for the for the males.
You imagine they're confused when the females start replicating their sexual bribes, said Mark Breedlove.
Um, when you feel sorry for the males, you imagine they're confused.
Breed love, you're right.
It's called feminism.
And I've received a slew of emails from people uh who have uh read a drive-by media report at uh 24 in the next season is going green.
For example, May Day, May Day, trouble on 24, dear rush.
I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I read with horror that the new season of 24 will have Jack Bauer fighting global warming.
Can you use your influence to change the script?
Ladies and gentlemen, you cannot be blamed for totally misunderstanding this.
This is a testament to the absolute incompetence of the drive-by media.
Jack Bauer is not going to be shooting SUVs.
Jack Bauer Is not going to be driving hybrids.
Jack Bauer is not going to use BBs or anything.
All the story means is that, and this is a Fox network-wide dictum from the suits in the studio tower.
All these Fox programs are going to be carbon neutral in their production techniques, with light bulb changes on the set and things like that.
The content of the program is not what's referred to in these stories, so don't panic.
Now, over the years, particularly during uh Republican administrations, when the economy has been great, as it is now, when the economy has been good, drive-by's and the Democrats do not report it as such.
In fact, they do just the opposite.
They try to spread meleees, uh, doom, gloom as uh thoroughly and uh widely throughout our culture and population as possible.
And yet, it's always been amazing to me that if you talk to people individually, they say, Yeah, I'm doing great.
Oh, I feel good about my future.
Families doing good, the kids messing up a little bit, but other than that, everything's hunky-dory.
I'm just worried about the guy down the street.
I'm not so sure my neighbors are doing well.
And uh, when I've heard that from people, so why?
Why why do you think that?
I mean, they look like they're uh, you know, one paycheck away from homelessness.
What what's your empirical data for this?
Well, I keep hearing on the news how bad the economy is.
I mean, if it's that bad, I know I'm doing well, but uh lo and behold, lo and behold, from Rasmussen reports, Americans are fairly upbeat about their own lives, but far more pessimistic when assessing the state of the nation.
Fifty-seven percent of American adults say they're better off now than they were four years ago.
The latest Rasmussen reports survey, telephone survey found that 34% disagree say they're not better off today.
At the same time, just 26% say the nation's better off than it was four years ago.
62% disagree and say it isn't.
Okay, right there it is.
Fifty-seven percent, the American people fairly upbeat about their own lives, better off today than they were four years ago, and yet sixty-two percent say the country is not better off today than it was four years ago.
Now, how do you arrive at that?
If you're gonna give the poll any credence whatsoever, how do you arrive at that?
Um you arrive at that by accepting my theory.
The theory is that the drive-by's the uh the media convince everybody that the place of going to hell in a handbasket while their own lives are pretty good and they make everybody feel guilty about it.
And by the way, this is the same technique being used uh uh to um advance this whole hoax of global warming.
Speaking of which, have I got a global warming stack?
Let me just let me just titillate you with one of the stories in the stack here.
This is from the Times of London.
I just give you a quote.
Let me give you the headline, then an excerpt from the story.
Walking to the shops damages planet more than going by car.
Well, it says right here, I'm holding this story.
My formerly nicotine-stained fingers, walking does more harm than driving to cause global warming.
A leading environmentalist WACO has calculated, food production is now so energy intensive that more carbon is emitted, providing a person with enough calories to walk to the shops than a car would emit over the same distance.
The climate could benefit if people avoided exercise, ate less, and became couch potatoes.
This is not a this is not scrapple face, this is not the onion, this is not a parative, this is the Times.
UK Times, it's by Dominic Kennedy.
Food production now so energy intensive that uh you people realize the absolute uh total absence of anything intelligent, reasonable, or substantive in this whole discussion of climate destruction, the weather, the environment, so now you be better off walking or driving.
You you you contribute more to global warming walking to them all than uh if you if you drove there.
Drinking more than three cups of coffee a day helped protect older women against some age-related memory decline, according to French researchers on Monday.
Uh Men did not enjoy this same benefit.
In fact, another companion coffee story, drinking coffee can protect people from developing a tick in which an eyelid twitches uncontrollably, according to a news study from Italy.
It wasn't that long ago.
Coffee was gonna it was hard in the arteries, it's gonna cause heart disease and so forth.
Now my God, it's gonna stop eyelid ticks, and it can help protect against age uh related memory decline.
The more coffee one drank, the better the effects seemed to be on women's memory functioning, in particular, said Karen Ritchie at the French National Institute of Medical Research, whose work appears in the journal Neurology.
They found uh well, they followed 7,000 men and women in three French cities.
You know, I gotta take the occasion of this.
Our new sponsor, Boca Java, these guys came up uh a couple weeks ago, and they brought, I can't tell you, they brought I mean it's it's just unbelievable.
They brought flavored coffee, they brought the the record of the it's indescribable the variety they have.
They brought up a couple brewers, coffee pots, these guys take it seriously.
And they had a flavor, what is that uh maple maple bacon morning.
I said, I have got to try that.
And I've not been a fan of flavored coffees.
You know, I've the vanilla raspberry swirl, uh, the silken uh chocolate chips were whatever.
This stuff was it was amazing.
Snerdly brews it every other morning.
They go straight, then I go flavor.
The blueberries.
I mean, stuff is just mind-blowing.
Uh, and if flavored coffee's not your thing, they they've got dark roasts, deep roasts, they've got mild, it's uh it's just it's it's uh fascinating stuff.
But they brought so much up, we're gonna have to build some more cabinets.
To uh put it all in.
If you've ever doubted that the liberals are just literal lunatics, try this story.
Mia Farrow has offered herself as as a as a hostage in exchange for a rebel that's being kept in Darfur.
Um U.S. actress Mia Farrow has offered her freedom in exchange for that of a respected Darfur rebel figure, uh, virtually imprisoned for more than 13 months.
Uh Sudan Liberation Army, humanitarian coordinator Suleimon Jamus, has been confined to a UN hospital in Kordofan, neighboring Darfur, since the U.N. moved him there without permission uh last year.
So uh Mia Farrow said, I I am there for what wasn't she in um Rosemary's Baby?
Was she in the movie?
Yeah, well, that explains it.
Something happened on the set there.
Uh you remember Rosemary's baby?
Barely?
Well, it was about uh old Satan coming down and uh fathering a child with somebody that lived in a New York Upper West Side apartment.
Mia Farrow was in, I think she says, I'm there forfering to take uh Mr. Jameis's place to exchange my freedom for his in the knowledge of his importance to the civilians of Darfur.
I would encourage him to take the deal.
They wanted to leave anyway.
I really think Mia Faro is on to something here, folks.
This has this has tremendous potential.
Hostages for peace.
Not just Mia Farrow, but any number of Hollywood celebrities from Sean Penn to Alec Baldwin can find political prisoners around the world that they disagree with uh that disagree with the reasons they're being held captive, uh, and of course, all the political prisoners in the world are being held captive because Bush is president, uh, and they could offer themselves in exchange for the release of these political prisoners.
Hostages for peace.
What a great idea.
She's gonna swerved into it.
By the way, I made a slip-up, and I I really need to apologize for this.
I said in describing the uh the movie Rosemary's Baby, I said Satan came down there and Satan comes up.
Uh Satan, when he shows up, it's from below.
And I I said he came down there.
This is expression, but I just didn't want to uh cause any confusion.
All right, there's a Democrat forum tonight, uh debate, what have you.
PMS NBC is doing an all-day telethon here.
And uh uh it's it's a forum co-sponsored with I think AFL CIO, the Union Thugs.
And uh so that means we're going to live uh audio somebody too here in a minute, Mike.
But it got me to thinking.
I've been watching this.
I haven't been listening to it, but it's it's on one of my uh many monitors here in the broadcast complex.
And I really got to thinking about it.
Seriously, uh ask you a question here.
If you had the power to pick the Democrat presidential candidate from the current crop of candidates, who would you pick?
Seriously.
I I'm not forget the Republicans here.
It's not the point, is you got this list of Democrats.
Who would you pick?
I mean, I got to thinking about there is n there's not one in the whole damn roster that any thinking person would select to be a competent leader.
Uh each and every one of our doofuses or dangerous or wrong.
Uh probably a combination of uh all three.
And you can't pick Lieberman.
You can't say Lieberman, because he's an independent now.
And he's uh he's not a candidate in the uh in in the first place.
All right.
I want one more thing about the uh the bridge in uh Minneapolis.
Uh everybody's asking this question.
Can Congress solve our need for bridge repairs?
Tom Sowell has a great piece today, which actually inspired my forthcoming uh commentary on this.
He said the incentives are all wrong.
The incentives are not to fix things, the incentives for politicians are to are to start brand new things, ribbon coveting ceremonies, be it new old folks' home, a new water treatment center, what have you, big photo op, bring home the bacon, and that's how you get re-elected.
And that is exactly right.
So if if we're looking to the wrong bunch of people to fix the bridge, because fixing the bridge is not the uh express purpose here.
Can Congress solve our need for bridge repairs?
The answer could be ethanol, ladies and gentlemen.
What do you mean, Rush?
I don't follow you here.
You already lost me.
Ethanol.
Yeah, it's corn.
Liquid corn, reconstituted corn, self-sealing corn.
Check the bridges, find the cracks, fill them with liquid corn, cover them with reconstituted corn, cement them with self-sealing corn.
Rush, what am I missing?
What's that going to do for the bridges?
Nothing, folks.
It won't make a bit of difference to the bridge.
But look what it'll do for Congress.
It'll get farm votes, more uses for corn, more demand for corn, higher prices for corn.
It'll get labor votes because more uses for corn, all the liquid corn spreaders, you gotta have union guys to go out there and plug the cracks with the new liquid corn, reconstituted corn pasters and and uh bricklayers, plasterers, and so forth.
Rush, will that fix the bridges?
No, that's not the issue.
When Congress gets involved with bridge repairs, repairing the bridge is not the issue.
If you think solving the problem is the concern of Congress, you don't understand politics.
It's all about soul's right.
It's all about getting votes.
And you think I've making this up?
Try this.
This is from uh United Press International.
Jordanian scientists have discovered potato chip flavoring can increase the longevity of concrete.
Oni Al-Atum of the Jordan University of Science and Technology found sodium acetate, that's the ingredient that helps give salt and vinegar flavored potato chips a tangy snap is the key to a new waterproof coating for concrete.
You think I just dream all this stuff up?
I see this concrete can be protected by potato chip flavoring.
Once our Congress gets hold of this, ethanol, potatoes, Idaho need votes out of Idaho, any number of things.
Oh tom, and colleagues note that concrete is so porous that water soaks in, corroding steel, uh reinforcing bars, meshes that strengthen concrete roads and buildings that in turn causes cracks as water expands and contracts during um freeze fall cycles.
I'm I'm not gonna get into this right now, but there's a a former Clinton administration official.
Uh current senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, a Clinton think tank, has has tied the bridge collapse to global warming.
I made a joke about this Friday.
I made a joke about it on Friday when I had my first chance to talk about this.
How long is it going to be before they blame global warming?
A former Clinton administration official At the Clinton think tank, the Center for American Progress has actually suggested global warming is tied to the collapse of the bridge.
I'll give you details as the program unfolds.
Let's go to Charleston, South Carolina, and uh we'll start on the phones with Joe.
Uh thank you for waiting, sir, and welcome.
Rush, Megadetto's from one of the golfing uh places in the United States, Charleston, South Carolina.
Thank you, sir.
Very much appreciated.
It's a pleasure to talk to you.
I've been listening to you for a long, long time.
Two quick things.
You just made a comment on um you said uh it was Mia Farrell wanting to uh exchange herself for uh political prisoner.
You're a big influence, you're a big sports fan.
Why don't you head up uh like a like an NFL draft but a celebrity for uh prisoner exchange?
Well, that's what we're gonna do.
Um like a draft thing, we're gonna start the whole hostages for peace.
We're gonna appeal to their sense of service, their sense of guilt, their sense of the ability to do nothing while thinking they're accomplishing a lot.
Very good.
Also, real quick, you commented before about how fifty percent of uh Americans feel uh better about they do it about four years ago.
The people that don't, you know, I'm tired of my liberal friends moaning and complaining.
You know, why don't people sit back and and you know think about how they can make their lives better rather than depend upon the government.
Uh well that's they that's that's that's not the mindset of liberal.
Here's the the mind that the whining and moaning is the natural order.
Misery accompanied by misery and being unhappy, that's liberalism and being angry.
So uh when your liberal buddies look around and they see people doing well, they want to punish them.
They don't want to elevate themselves and they don't want to elevate others, they want to punish those who they think are at the top because they've gotten there unfairly.
They will actually it won't be long before liberals will actually come out and be honest about this and say government must act to reduce exorbitant lifestyles.
Uh that's just how they think about this.
Uh the idea that this is a country with uh boundless opportunity, and all they have to do is open a door, knock on it, and go in and start seeking it never occurs to them.
They don't think they're gonna get a fair shake.
They think corporate interests and all this, all their cliches are standing in the way of anybody being successful.
The only people who are cheat, lie, steal, uh uh, and basically take money from others.
It's uh liberals don't want that kind of success.
They they want the equal distribution of misery.
Um that's not an exaggeration.
Here is uh Emily in San Francisco.
Hey, Emily, nice to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Nice to listen to you every day.
It's something to look forward to, especially on a Monday morning.
It was a terrific show yesterday.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
What about today's?
I think we're off to a pretty roaring start today.
Oh, yes.
It's it's uh there are so many topics to talk about.
For example, I wanted to talk about the fact that the Clintons are uh uh want to take credit for the nineties for the great economy, which today is the greatest boom in the world we've ever seen in the in history.
The the all the countries in the world are booming.
And and it's incredible how they took credit for the uh for the nineties when it wasn't until nineteen ninety-four, November of nineteen ninety-four, that everything changed because the Republican legislature came in.
Actually, uh to be thorough and honest about this, if there hadn't been Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighties, then the nineties wouldn't have happened, and whatever the Republican Congress did in ninety-four would not have been uh as successful because their starting point would have been much different.
So you really got to go back to the eighties uh and the drastic, the drastic reduction of marginal tax rates, uh, which spurred the economy.
They had some glitches, uh, brought, you know, the real estate market had some problems because they did change tax codes and behaviors and so forth.
When that ironed out, uh it was Katie Barthedor, and we are still experiencing the uh the boom of the eighties to this day.
Exactly.
And and the thing is, though, as President Bush was saying on Saturday, you have a a b he has a a balanced budget.
He hopes to balance the budget in five years.
Within five years.
However, the Democrats, almost like blackmail, they have to put in a twenty-two billion dollar um uh uh, you know, just overspending in order to um to ruin it, because uh within five years, the president explained that twenty-two billion could add up to close to ha a quarter of a trillion dollars in just one you know just their overspending.
And so they are the tax and spend bunch.
We put them in as a president.
You get someone like Hillary, and then you get that the a Congress uh filled with Democrats that are left wing.
It's no longer the Democrat Party we knew of the Kennedys.
We now have a left wing party.
In fact, I saw since you mentioned that that no, they do.
Uh Emily, they have the left wing party.
We don't.
Two things.
This business of balancing the budget in five years.
I remember the nineties.
Balanced budget was, you know, it was a big deal.
And I remember Clinton saying, well, we can balance in two years, we can do it in five, we can do it in ten years.
It wasn't a priority.
I've been hearing so much.
I'm 56.
I am a seasoned adult now.
Not yet a seasoned citizen, a seasoned adult.
And I've been hearing about all these financial crises my whole life.
The national debt.
Boy, it's gonna wipe us out.
Wait, the deficit.
The devil, the deficit is gonna wipe it.
We're budget's not balanced.
I look around and uh uh for well, how long I've been paying attention.
I've started twelve years old, so over forty years here.
Uh and all these predictions of collapse and doom and gloom, and they happen every year and they happen every day, and some of them recycle, the deficit's gonna wipe us out, the national debt's gonna wipe us out, uh, the ChICOMs holding so much of our foreign debt.
Uh all and it never happens.
We just keep roaring right along.
I my advice, don't panic.
Don't let them put you into panic.
As for the Democrats uh and and uh overspending, they are they're tax and spend, they're redistributionists, they want to control you.
They want to control as many people's lives as the as they can.
Uh oh, second point.
Uh, I gotta do this quickly.
He read a column by Rich Lowry.
He was reviewing a book that he had read, and it was um the theory the book was that the current uh state of American liberalism can be traced to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Uh quick, I'll give you just a brief summary of why we come back.
I gotta take a quick time out here.
All right, cookie work fast.
We have these two sound bites from the owner of the uh the uh uh Murray Energy Count Corporation, owner of the mine where the six miners are missing.
I'd gotten a heads up that this guy launched against the media today for misreporting what's happening out there by name, and that uh he also started attacking the the stupidity of energy legislation in this country.
His name is um Robert Murray, chairman of Murray Energy Corp.
He held a press conference, explained what was going on, the rescue efforts, he started getting questions about things.
These are two sound bites from the press conference.
Without coal to manufacture our electricity, our products will not compete in the global marketplace against foreign countries because our manufacturers depend on coal low-cost electricity, and people on fixed incomes will not be able to pay their electric bills.
And every one of these global warming bills that has been introduced in Congress today eliminates the coal industry and will increase your electric rates four to five fold.
So we are an accessual industry.
Now you might be saying, what the hell is he talking about this when it got six miners down there try that are trapped?
Because he was asked about it because he was asked, what the hell are you in this business for anyway?
I mean, he would that was not an exact question, but why do we have these mines open?
They're so dangerous, and coal is destroying the planet and calls this and calls that.
He fired right back at him.
And of course, this guy's a corporate interest, so he can't be trusted, according to the left.
But I mean, these these reporters w uh had to be asking some of the most cliched, stupid, uninformed, closed mind questions.
And but I I have to tell you something, he's right.
I have to tell you a little story.
One of these uh guy golf trips, and I go on a bunch of them during the summer.
First was in the middle of June.
And I went up to a friend of mine's place, um, I'm not gonna mention where, because his his town will get mobbed with people wanting to find out uh where I was and so forth, he'll get hassled.
But it was in Connecticut.
We took his boat, he's got a pretty nice boat.
We took his boat over to uh Fisher's Island.
We'll play golf over there for Fisher's Island.
We went up to Newport to see another friend, and we were playing golf there the next day.
As we pull out of the uh the the harbor, uh where my friend lives, there's this giant.
And I'm not on the water much, folks, so I these I see things.
I've I've seen tankers and stuff flying over them, uh, like when I went into Dubai to negotiate the ports deal before I went to Afghanistan.
Um, but there was this huge, I don't want to tanker, it was just a huge cargo ship.
And there were a bunch of smaller ships loading off of it.
It was offloading on those smaller ships, and it was it was they were headed to them.
I said, What is that?
And they said, My friends, that's coal delivery.
He said, Look over there.
And he pointed, and there was this giant power plant in Connecticut.
And those of you who live there now know where I'm talking about.
And they it has to be fed every day.
It's the it's providing a like this guy's exactly right.
The amount of coal that that that uh cargo ship had to hold would boggle your mind.
These are things that most people never see.
You just go in the room, you flip the switch, and the lights come on, but you don't know how it happens.
And this guy's operating a mine along with other people to bring coal up.
It's a dangerous, risky job.
Uh, and you've got the global warming people trying to put it out of business.
And he's right.
Uh if if you do that, you're gonna have to have uh some other fuel for the uh power plants to fire their uh electricity with, and it is gonna cost a tremendous amount of money.
Here's the next bite.
Uh he was just he's watching the coverage of the disaster, and he said this.
They know nothing about the natural disaster that occurred here.
They know nothing about the damage in the mine and the circumstances surrounding the trapped miners.
I caution the media to very much question the veracity of these sources and their motivations.
I particularly cite Mr. Seth Borinstein of the Associated Press for a particularly bad reporting and a Fox News network on what has occurred here.
Rather than utilizing the truthful statements that you heard here, Mr. Bornstein chose to use statements from Mrs. McIntyre, who were totally false and have nothing to do with or have any understanding of what's happened here.
And this morning, Fox News Network was added also.
I hope you report that.
Done, Mr. Murray.
By the way, even better, something I left out of the story about that giant ship out there in Long Island Sound servicing the power plant.
That coal was from overseas.
It was not American, it was that was foreign coal, if you will.
I love this Murray guy because finally somebody is promoting the concept of continual access to sources of energy for the necessity of this country to continue to grow.
