Time Text
Ha, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
We are here having more fun a human beings should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh with more to do than I can squeeze in today.
But we're going to give it a shot, which means I got to speak fast, which means you have to listen fast.
Telephone number 800-282-2882, if you'd like to appear on the program, the email address rush at EIB net.com.
You know, in a way, folks, in a way, in a sort of a perverted way, we are making progress out there.
There is uh some bloggers, some kook fringe left-wing bloggers, who say that Hurricane Dean is God's revenge on George W. Bush.
And that the floods in Texas and Oklahoma are the are there God's revenge on Bush for screwing up Texas a country and the rains in Minnesota.
God's revenge against George W. Bush.
These are people don't believe in God saying this.
You know, this is what's cool about this, so in a way, uh, you could say that we are making progress.
I want to go back to Mrs. Clinton here for just a second.
The the soundbite that we played mere moments ago, I'm not going to play it again, in which she said that uh she'd been fighting the Republican attack machine.
She'd been fighting these people for 35 years.
Do you realize what that what that is?
That is a confession that she can't get anything done.
She's been fighting for 35 years.
And accomplished what?
The question was about lobbyists.
And the first thing she ducked the question, Stephanopoulos goaded her to uh to follow up, and she knows she has reeled off her talking points, America's problems, that liberal talking points says she'd been fighting for these ideas for 35 years.
Now, if if if she couldn't fix them after 35 years of fighting, why should anybody give her four more?
Oh, I know why, so that she can say she fought these issues for 39 years, not 35.
Has it occurred to anyone that perhaps, maybe Mrs. Clinton just doesn't know, a, how to solve problems, B, how to fight successfully, or C all of the above.
I mean, she's she's now, yeah, she's she's taken some people out.
Uh, but it it's back to the same old refrain.
I go back to the Democrat debate forum that they had with the uh with the uh the Union people, and you had these these uh the people in the audience were allowed to go to the microphone, and it was just one constant whine, one constant moan.
I don't have health insurance, and my wife doesn't have health injures in my home gonna fight on my business.
What's wrong with America?
What are you gonna do?
Well, by Mrs. Clinton's own admission, she's been fighting for these things for 35 years.
These people that have voted for her and other Democrats are still miserable, nothing getting done.
They're not happy.
This is what led to battered liberal syndrome and the fix for it that I consciously, conscientiously and very graciously, with great compassion, by the way, introduced last week.
Now, one other thing, too, about about the um I want to say before we move on to other things here, and that's the Carl Rove all over television on the weekend.
I told you on Friday that one of the talking points that the drive-bys have come up with in the Democrat Party is uh that that uh Rove played to the base, and he split the country, divided the country on purpose, in order to win.
And that's ridiculous.
I mean, that you could say that about the Democrats too.
The country was divided.
You know, Rove dealt with what he had, uh, getting uh, you know, running Bush's campaigns and so forth.
But this this this attack that he played to the base is two pronged.
So what?
Democrats do that too, so what's wrong with playing to the base?
Well, you have to understand, coming from the the uh the mindset of the left, the prism through which they see things, the Republican base is deliverance.
The Republican base is Hayseed Hicks, racist, sexists, bigots, and homophobes, so when you play to them, you are promoting racism, sexism, bigotry, and homophobia, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and you are dividing the country.
This is how they see it.
They really do.
This is this is uh that it's not the result of any intellectual pursuit or conclusion on their part.
That's it's just total feelings.
Their belief system is largely made up of feelings, not thoughts, not uh not real convictions that they can uh arrive at with the the intellectual pursuit.
Uh, but let's take a look at the nature of the evidence here on the charge that Carl Rove divided the nation by playing to the base, the right wing base.
If Carl Roves, especially in the first term, if Carl Rove was playing to any base, it was not the right wing base, it was the left wing base.
I asked him in this in this uh on this program last week when we interviewed him.
I said, Do you have any regrets about the new tone in your first uh couple years, letting Ted Kennedy participate in writing legislation and all this sort of stuff?
He said, No.
He said, No, margins are pretty thin.
You can't get anything done without some Democrats helping you out.
Well, let's go look at some of these things.
How about no child left behind?
Is that playing to the Republican base?
You know, that's a giant expansion of the education program that Ted Kennedy got to help write that took new funding.
How about the prescription drug entitlement?
Was that playing to the base?
Going out and telling these racist, sexist bigot homophobes that we need another government entitlement?
That's playing to the right wing base.
How about amnesty for illegals?
Is that playing to the right wing base?
I mean, the idea that that Rove is out here playing to the base to divide America is is, you know, divided America to the libs, i.e., people who don't vote for them means somebody's poisoning their minds against the libs, the people aren't capable of of opposing liberals on their own.
Uh so of course there has to be some evil genius mastermind behind this.
The arrogance and the sense of entitlement superiority and presumptuousness of the left is staggering, but it's necessary to comprehend it and to understand it in order to watch their news media in order to listen to them.
All right, to the audio sound bites.
A theme of the debate, we're going back to Democrat debate here yesterday.
Theme of the debate uh uh was that we should be talking with our enemies.
The Breck Girl said that he's gonna sit down at the table with Iran and make a proposal.
I think we have a clear path for America and for for our friends on Iran.
Uh, and that path is to work with our friends in Europe to put a uh choice between carrots and sticks on the table for the Iranian people.
Okay, when it comes to the real enemy, though, Edwards will not negotiate with evil, the drug companies.
He will not appear on Fox News, but he will indeed go talk to um uh the molocracy, if you will, Ahmadinizad in Iran.
There's a fundamental question here.
Whether you believe, whether voters believe the way we're gonna have universal health care is to deal with those people, to make a deal with them.
I don't.
I don't think it'll work.
Universal health care, single payer.
That means everybody pays for everybody's health care in the form of much higher taxes and a rotten system that would result from it.
But he didn't want to bring the drug companies involved.
Nope.
And I'm gonna go talk to them.
Can't be done.
Can't strike a deal with evil pharmacies.
Can't strike a deal with big pharma, can't do no, no, no.
We go talk to Iran.
We can go talk to Castro, talk to all those people.
Can't talk to the drug companies.
Can't talk to fellow Americans.
They are the real enemy.
He was also asked uh a question from an emailer.
Stephanopoulos read it.
Email question from Seth Ford of South Jordan, Utah.
My question is to understand each candidate's view of a personal god.
Do they believe that through the power of prayer, disasters like Katrina or the Minnesota bridge collapse could have been prevented or lessened?
The answer to the question is no.
I don't uh I uh I I prayed before uh my sixteen-year-old son died.
Uh I prayed before Elizabeth was uh diagnosed with uh cancer.
Uh I think there are some things that are beyond our control.
And I think it is enormously important to look to God, and in my case, Christ for uh for guidance and for wisdom.
But I don't think you can prevent bad things from happening through prayer.
All right.
Um you may not be able to prevent bad things from happening through prayer, but you can make brilliant and great things happen by voting Democrat.
October 11th, 2004 on the campaign trail.
When John Gary is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.
Right?
So we're not gonna pray to God for anything uh no, but we're gonna elect Democrats are gonna do these miracles.
Democrats can stop the bridge collapses, Democrats could stop Hurricane Katrina.
Democrats could re steer that after Bush and Rove are steering it right into New Orleans and Mississippi.
But all of this, folks, is is really insignificant compared to a story on an ABC blog that I uh found over the weekend.
ABC News Rick Klein reports when an Iowa resident asked former Senator the Breck girl whether the U.S. should follow the Cuban health care model.
The Breck girl deflected the question, saying he didn't know enough to answer it.
The Breck girl said, Well, I'm going to be honest with you, I don't know a lot about Cuba's health care system.
Is it a government run system?
Now, folks, this is perhaps the dumbest thing a political candidate has ever said.
Yeah, ABC.
ABC.
He also flip-flopped in the same appearance whether he had seen Sicco or not.
First he said he had, then he said he hadn't.
Well, if he's seen Sicco, how can you not know?
Why do you have to see Sicco to know what Cuba's health care system is?
This is worse than Dukakis in a tank.
This is worse than Dan Quayle spelling potato with an E on it.
I mean, this is just this ought to disqualify him.
He doesn't know what Cuban's health care system is.
Is it a government run system?
Uh this is I think that this comes close to Gerald Ford with that faux pas in his debate where he said that the Eastern block of uh countries was not under Soviet domination.
A guy running for president, we just heard a bite talking about universal health care.
He will not talk to the drug companies about it.
Go meet with Iran and offer them a deal, but we can't deal with real Americans, can't deal with the drug companies.
And he doesn't even know what type of health care system Cuba has when by reputation it's the best in the world, according to people on his side of the aisle.
I mean, that it's not guaranteed.
They're just playing with it now.
They see this thing out there and they think it might strengthen this low pressure area.
I look at it on a map, seems like it's busting up to me, but what do I know?
I'm not a NASA scientist.
Yeah, we're talking as a new little tropical disturbance out there 300 miles north of the Lesser Antilles.
We got some computer model runs on it, has it aimed for uh actually Cape Canaveral.
Uh but it's so early that they haven't even made it an official system yet, but they always do this.
Uh you just have to know the sites, folks, to go get the model runs.
And of course, not being a NASA scientist, I know those sites.
Here's Keith in Shreveport, Louisiana, as we go back to the phones.
Great to have you with us, sir.
How are you today, Russ?
Fine, thank you.
Uh, I was just I've been thinking, and um with um Hillary, he's uh pressing 60 now, and uh if if he doesn't win the nomination or the uh or the election, isn't he pretty much finished in presidential politics?
Um depends on who wins.
If it it if it's uh uh if if in the case of nomination, if another Democrat wins it, probably so.
If a Republican wins, maybe not.
Maybe not, but I think the unbalance, because I don't like to foreclose the Clintons on anything.
I think they're gonna be harassing us until we all assume room temperature folks, you know, one way or the other.
Well, particularly if it's a two-term president, I you know, with her high negative and being nothing age like that, she's no Ronald Reagan, so I just can't see her coming back.
Well, no, but I think there's but there's there's something at play here, even uh a little bit more relevant than Mrs. Clinton personally.
This election is the last gasp of the sixties baby boomer generation to get control of this country.
But you go back to the sixties, and the sixties are known for the left-wing student protesters and people blowing up bank buildings, wearing tie-dyes and blue jeans and causing all kinds of hell.
But there were a lot of conservative baby boomers back then as well who didn't subscribe to any of that.
I, of course, proudly among them.
But this is it.
This this election is the last chance the baby boom generation has to secure its vision for the country.
And especially for the lefties.
This is something they have been dreaming about.
They got it for eight years with Bill Clinton.
Uh they wanted to continue it, of course, with Al Gorser nominee than Carrie.
This is it.
I think this is the last gasp.
It's gonna be brutal.
By the time we get down to the actual nominees being chosen and get the race, this is going to be a brutal campaign because I think Mrs. Clinton and uh and her apparatus know that this is this is their last chance to get control of this country and shape it and form it and flake it in the vision that they want.
Because after this, younger generations are going to be coming of age and not going to want anything to do with baby boomer values.
You know, the the youngsters that um the youths that the Democrats spend so many hours trying to register each year, and they do register them, but they never show up and vote in great numbers.
We've had rock the vote, we've had pollute the vote, we've had voter die, we have all these efforts to register these young people, and they do get registered, but they don't show up.
Uh but they're getting to be the age where they're going to start showing up, and they're not going to have baby boom values.
So I think that's one of the things that is that is uh uh going to motivate and inspire, particularly Clinton Inc.
Uh uh, especially uh uh herself and and Bill personally, because this is it.
This is the last chance.
Last chance to get hold of the apparatus of this country and shape it, form it, flake it in the vision that they want, uh, perhaps for for eight years.
So uh and by the way, I think that's gonna be an incredibly motivating turnout factor for Republicans.
Uh if that if that image and picture of what's at stake here, you want the sixties radicals who are already running universities, and much of the drive-by media.
Do you want them in the White House?
Uh that's that's really what uh what this is.
George and Philadelphia, glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Rush, it is an honor and a privilege to share, but for a brief moment the same airwaves with you.
Thank you, sir.
I appreciate that.
Very nice of you to say.
My point is this.
During last Thursday's hardball, John Edwards was falling in line with Barack Obama regarding entering Pakistan to capture bin Laden with or without Pakistan's permission.
And this point was further echoed by a columnist in the Thursday's Philadelphia Daily News, and then again on Sunday when representatives of some other Democrat candidates jumped on the same wagon.
I apologize, I forgot what show it was.
My question is this why hasn't this been reported in any major media outlet?
And when is Hillary going to label John Edwards immature and naive?
And when are the Democrats going to learn how to treat a sovereign nation that has a shaky government that also possesses nuclear weapons?
Well, uh the Democrats, the media not mentioning Edwards, because he's not a factor.
He just he's really not a fact.
Hillary's got it wrapped up.
She thinks she's got it wrapped up.
So do they.
Edwards did not say it in a prominent circumstance, not nearly as prominent as Obama did.
and Also, this this question of when are they going to realize sovereign nation and sovereign nation?
You're trying to understand these people within the context of logic, and you can't.
You this is a primary campaign.
Uh and and the prism on this, or the narrative on this is that Bush has failed totally and utterly in the war on terror because we haven't captured bin Laden.
And the left believes this.
The left also defines success or failure that way.
They're just pandering to the kook fringe that make up their primary voting base by saying they're going to get Bin Laden, and they're going to go in there and do whatever they have to in Pakistan to do it, even if Musharraf doesn't want us there.
They're trying to sound tough.
They know what their image is of national security.
Uh, but they're just trying they're basically they're running against Bush.
And that all of those things that you've uh quoted and cited are simply evidence of uh of that.
Rick and Malibu, great to have you, sir, on the EIB network.
Yeah, hi, Russ.
Thanks for taking my call.
Just a quick comment on uh John Edwards not knowing if Cuba has a state-run health care system.
Uh it goes beyond idiocy because what in Cuba is not state run?
It shows that he doesn't even understand what socialism is all about.
Uh I I can't explain.
What in the whole nation isn't government run?
I know, but but he's got to know this.
If he doesn't, if he doesn't know it, that's one thing.
But look at folks.
You cannot tell me that John Edwards does not understand socialism.
He is campaigning on a socialist platform.
Everything he's talking about is a socialist platform.
Every one of his enemies of the United States is a United States corporation.
This business about doesn't know the Cuban health care system, I think was intertwined with his flip-flop on whether he had seen Sicco or not.
And he was trying to escape any scrutiny on that.
But he's he's campaigning on a socialist platform.
I can't believe he doesn't know what Cuba is.
That's a couple of programming notes, ladies and gentlemen.
I am returning to Sacramento, California Friday, September 21st.
I'm appearing in an annual program that the Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce puts on every year.
It's entitled Perspectives.
And they bring in four or five people to speak for a time and uh they sell sell tickets to the thing.
Uh and I've I've uh I've received an invitation from my buddy Tom Sullivan this year, who MCs, uh, and I have decided to go.
Also on the speaker's roster is uh General John Abizade, a former commander of U.S. Central Command, Lawrence Summers, former Secretary of the Treasury, and the recently bounced president of Harvard because he made some women professors mad.
Chris Gardner, the self-made millionaire author of the pursuit of happiness.
I, of course, on the roster, and uh Colin Quinn, a political and social comedian.
It's around lunchtime.
I'm not sure what the start time of it is, but uh it is uh Friday, September 21st.
I've got a phone number here to to give you if you're interested in going.
For those of you uh in the uh in the western region of our country, I'm afraid, you know, you give out a phone number and you open it up to pranks.
They've got a website, however, and I can give you that.
It's uh www.metrochamber.org.
Uh I don't know how much tickets cost to this uh because I don't have to buy any since I'm on the stage.
And I forgot to ask that question.
But you can find out at www.metrochamber.org.
It's Friday, September 21st.
Heading back to my adopted hometown.
Uh talked to Sullivan on Friday afternoon.
I said, How long uh does each speaker get at this thing?
He says, Ah, we try to keep it at 40 minutes.
Oh, gee, Tom, I don't get going uh for 40 minutes.
So anyway, um I just wanted to alert you uh to this because I haven't been back there in a long, long time, and this is uh this is gonna be hoot.
And I'm looking forward to meeting all these people, Abisaid, Larry Summers, Chris Gardner, I've not met them.
Colin Quinn.
Um, second programming note.
Uh this is a four-day week for me, ladies and gentlemen.
I will be uh going on an extended, well, extended, one week vacation uh starting this Friday.
We've got a guy golf trip heading to, and I've I've mentioned this to you.
I I've mentioned it going out to Hawaii.
Uh we we do this, we do this every year.
We usually go to Europe, but because I'm not going to give customs another shot at me, uh we're not that's why we're not going to Europe.
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not going to use U.S. customs till this next election's over.
I'm not going through there.
I'm not going to give him a chance to plant something on my airplane.
I'm not going to do it.
Uh after that little brew ha the last time with these people.
So uh my golf buddies graciously said, well, look, one of them lives out in Hawaii.
Why don't we just host it out there?
So that's what we're going to do.
Uh I ordered a bunch of Allen Brothers stakes to send out that we barbecue every night, have massages sometimes.
It's a hoot.
Uh what uh what do you mean?
How can I leave an illegal immigration?
I gotta get recharged here for the upcoming battles in the fall and the winter and the primary season and so forth.
How can I leave when the Democrats are debating?
I know.
How can I leave when anything's going on?
How can I leave, period?
Well, a simple fact of the matter is I have to leave.
How can I leave when there are hurricanes?
I know.
How can I leave when there are floods and forest fires?
How can I leave when God's wrath is descending upon America because of George W. Bush?
I know, but I must.
Because I made the commitment.
Uh and so I just I wanted you to know this up front, folks, uh, with plenty of time so you won't be surprised if you think if you it's an average or an annual trip uh that we do about this time.
Yeah, and it and it's golf.
It's golf, which I happen to like.
I happen to love.
Uh There's a story.
Out of London, half of dogs and cats in the UK are now overweight.
And they got three pictures here of genuinely obese animals.
They got an obese tabby cat.
They've got an obese uh looks like a white lab and an obese.
Well, probably mutt.
So they got pictures of three.
And they are this this is this is pretty sad to see these animals this way.
But how in the hell do they know that half of the dogs and cats in the UK are overweight?
How in the hell can anybody possibly know that?
This is one of these headlines, and I say, prove it.
Prove it.
Who did the survey?
Who did the eye-to-eye door-to-door inspection to find this out?
Well, we didn't do that.
We talked to the vets.
And not everybody takes your pet to the vet often enough to know this stuff.
This is absurd.
Also about Cuba and John Edwards.
Uh not understanding that the Cuban health care system is uh uh government run.
Uh I uh uh uh look, uh I know that it's let me get his exact quote here.
I'm not gonna be honest with you.
I don't know a lot about Cuba's health care system, Edwards said at an event in Oscaloosa, Iowa.
Is it a government run system?
I don't care whether he's trying to fake us out or not, it's dumbest political statement in the world.
The context is he had flip-flopped on whether he had seen Sicco.
First he said I think he had seen it, then he said he hadn't.
Uh and the reason he says, I don't know anything about Cuba's healthcare system, it's a government because if he had seen SICO, there would be no doubt.
But how can there be any doubt anyway that he knows or doesn't know?
Because what isn't government run in Cuba?
In fact, listen to this.
This is this is from an AP story in June of 2005.
The government of Cuba stopped issuing self-employment licenses last fall for 40 categories of jobs, ranging from computer programming to auto body repair.
Self-employment in these professions was legalized only in 1993 during the severe economic crisis that followed the collapse of the Soviet bloc.
A roughly 150,000 self-employed Cubans represent just 2.1% of Cuba's workforce.
Officials say the state system has recovered sufficiently from the shock of the early 90s to absorb more workers.
To absorb more work, gosh, this is just this is AP, and this drives me nuts.
The government had finally gotten through its crisis.
And so it's now capable of absorbing more workers.
The translation is the government got frightful and scared that so many people opted for the self-employment ranks that they are denying them the freedom to do that to avoid a cultural crisis and a revolution.
Government can absorb more workers.
So the uh self-employment licenses lasted for two years.
You know, this is something the Chicoms might want to think about.
The Chicoms, speaking of the Chicoms, speaking of the Chicoms, get this story.
This is not going to please Al Gore and a global warming clowns.
San Francisco Chronicle headline, China's new middle class in love with cars.
Big cars.
It was the frugal mini car that lured the Liu family to the showroom, but it was the full-size sedan that hooked them.
Like countless other first-time autobuyers in China, the Lius were moving up in the world.
Getting four wheels with plenty of steel was a key part of that success.
A car.
This means so much to us, said Liu Yang, while her husband Liu Yu fiddled with the dashboard of the Cherry Easter sedan that they were about to buy in a showroom in suburban North Beijing.
The biggest car buying boom in world history is underway in China as vast numbers of people joined the middle class, abandoned their bicycles for cars and SUVs.
And in the process, add to China's already fast growing emissions of greenhouse gases.
So if this keeps up, we're gonna be pikers, folks, compared to the carbon footprint that the Chinese make.
Well, the Chinese SUVs, I'm sure will kill people.
In fact, is there another story here?
We do have a Mike grab uh grab in a Yugo, not not in a hybrid.
Here it is.
Grab, grab in a Yugo.
In fact, I'll give you the headline here, and then uh you let me know when you got the tune.
In fact, in fact, let's tell you what I'm gonna take a phone call and uh and then we'll go to the break.
We'll do the in a you go thing we come out of the break.
Neil in Austin, Texas.
Uh glad you called, sir.
Thank you for waiting.
Hi, Rush.
It's a pleasure.
You bet.
Um, I wanted to offer an insight about Hillary's comment that she'd been fighting these people for 35 years.
Hillary doesn't make slip-ups in conversation or or interviews.
Uh, she didn't say that she'd been battling for her programs or trying to overcome Republican programs.
She said she'd been fighting these people.
And that underlines the fact the only thing that she and Bill have ever been interested in is positioning power over purpose.
It's that simple for anybody that hasn't hasn't seen the light yet.
Uh uh one minor caveat.
There is a purpose.
Oh, I understand, yes, to seize power.
The purpose is control, the use of power for the sake of controlling as much and as many as possible.
There there is there is a devious purpose to their quest for power.
And that and that those those two are inseparable.
But I I think you're on to something when you say that she's been fighting these people for thirty-five years.
That uh and you and when you also say they don't say things flippantly and by mistake in public forums like this.
When she says we've been fighting people for thirty-five years, she's been getting rid of her enemies.
She's been trying to take her enemies out.
These they did not just content to defeat them.
They have to destroy them.
They don't campaign on ideas.
The Clinton's campaign on well, Bill did a I feel your pain.
He campaigned on being able to relate to people.
Uh and when he did mention an idea like tax cuts, somehow never happened, tax increases did.
Uh but they don't campaign on ideas.
And ideas are what win campaigns.
They campaign destroying people, and after they're elected, they continue the campaign.
One of the things the Republicans could never quite figure out till it was too late after Clinton won in ninety-two, was that the whole presidency was an ongoing campaign.
They every day the war room was still in operation, uh, and the whole purpose was to stay there at uh and be re-elected the next four years and solidify relationships with people rather than campaigning on big ideas.
That's why didn't do an unterrorism.
Uh that's why we didn't do anything on much of anything big, because that's risky if it doesn't work, poll numbers come down.
Quick time out, folks.
Stay with us.
All right, let's go back to the archives.
You know, we recently updated In a Yugo for in a hybrid.
Uh little did I know how quickly we would need to go back and play in a Yugo.
But that time has come.
Ah, yes, and I have here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers, ladies and gentlemen, a uh just a classic illustration of the tendency of drive-bys to really arrive late at obvious conclusions.
Americans are buying more small cars to cut fuel costs, and that might kill them.
That's how the story opens.
They headline people buy small cars even though they can be deadly.
Small cars are deadly now.
I thought it was the SUV that was killing everybody.
Well, it is, but not for the reason you might think now.
As a group, occupants of small cars are more likely to die in crashes than those in bigger, heavier vehicles, according to data from the government, the insurance industry, and the National Academy of Sciences.
The uh the newest small vehicles, of course, meet today's strict safety standards and can be laden with the latest safety hardware, such as stability control and side airbags.
They're safer than ever.
And differing designs mean some small cars are safer than average, but even the safest small cars are governed by the laws of physics, which rule in favor of bigger, heavier vehicles, even in single vehicle crashes.
Well, especially in single vehicle crashes.
I mean, if you're driving one of these little bubble cars and you think you're gonna have a crash, go get a second or third bubble car to crash with you, and you might overpower the SUV that's gonna hit you.
If the switch to smaller, lighter vehicles continues to grow, the result could be anywhere from dozens to thousands of traffic deaths that would have been avoided in bigger vehicles.
This according to Do I need to read any more?
Is this not obvious?
And has it not been obvious for who knows how long?
I know the Democrats are trying to outlaw the laws of physics here, but this is something that everybody has had knowledge of.
You don't even need to have had one day in school to understand this.
But what's amazing here is they've been trying to get everybody out of SUVs because SUVs are destroying the planet and they're running into these little cars and killing now, all of a sudden.
All these new deaths.
All these new deaths because of people driving these little bubble cars.
What's what's what's a few thousand more deaths, folks?
Because look at the look at the uh uh impact on climate change that fewer people will have, fewer carbon footprints, fewer pollutions, fewer carbon emissions.
Uh and by the way, you could put a baby on board sign in a back window of your little bubble car, it ain't gonna help anybody.
It ain't gonna help you, it isn't gonna help the baby.
Uh now, small small cars are killers.
Small vehicles have higher fatality rates than larger ones.
A driver is up to twice as likely to die in a small car as in a mid-size, just one step up the size scale, according to data.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report showed similar results.
And who is it that's forcing people into these cars?
It's the government.
Good old unintended consequences of well-intentioned big-hearted liberals trying to save the environment on a meaningless crusade.
Especially now since the Shikoms are out buying boats and big land yachts and SUVs.
I'll tell you this, folks.
If you own a small car, don't compound your risk by eating carrots.
I don't know what the big deal is about me going to Hawaii play golf.
I just looked at the calendar, maybe going this Friday, then all the next week, then Labor Day on Monday, since it's going to be basically a week and a day.
A working week and a day.
It's not that big a deal.
It sounds like 924 to 9.32.
Well, that's not like a long time in terms of work days in there.
Um not that many.
Anyway, we got one hour left here on the EIB Network's Monday excursion into broadcast excellence.
