Time Text
Hey, uh HR, I'm looking at just walking a studio, and it looked like you guys are dressed for winter up there in New York.
I know it's cold up there, the record cold high temperature in New York City yesterday.
Uh I want to caution everybody on this.
Because I don't I don't want there to be a panic out there.
There was a record cold high temperature, like 59, 58 degrees.
That cannot just by itself.
I have it on scientific authority here.
That cannot by itself be blamed on the coming ice age, but it is consistent with the kind of cold events that we can expect to become more common as the new ice age approaches.
But you can't say that this, and it's throughout the Northeast, too.
I mean, in Connecticut was even colder.
Uh, but I don't want to hear anybody on his bandwagon here see ice age coming.
It's it's it's that it's not indicative of that, but as the ice age does approach these events will become more common.
Um what's what's causing the ice age is global warming.
Uh what causes everything?
Speaking of uh of which, I I honest, honest to Pete, folks.
This is from uh uh a physics website, physorg.com.
Scientists confirm long-held theory about the source of sunshine.
Scientists and physicists have made the first real-time observation of low energy solar neutrinos, providing long-sought proof of the theory regarding how these fundamental particles are produced in the sun's core.
Essentially, ladies and gentlemen, uh uh what we all learned in the first grade, maybe even sooner has been confirmed by America's physicists, the sun and its nuclear explosions produce sunshine.
It has been firmly established by physicists and scientists.
And for the rest of today's global warming update, da da da we turn to Paul Shanklin as Al Gore.
Ripping off uh Johnny Cash here.
Paul Shanklin, white comedian, is he's been called uh by media critics of this program as uh as Al Gore there with ball of fire.
All right.
This is from uh Der Spiegel.
Norway's moose population in trouble for belching.
The Scandinavian moose, now being blamed for climate change, with researchers in Norway claiming that a grown moose can produce 2100 kilos of methane every year equivalent to the CO2 output resulting from a 13,000 kilometer car journey.
Norway is concerned that its national animal, a moose, is harming the climate by emitting an estimated 2100 kilos of carbon dioxide a year through its belching.
Uh and uh uh gas.
Norwegian newspapers citing research and Norway's technical university said a motorist would have to drive 13,000 kilometers in a car to emit as much CO2 as a single moose does.
Every year.
And how are they going to blame this on America?
We got we our own cows here with methane production.
It's America's fault because we eat beef, but we don't consume moose.
We make well, if you just hang on here just a second I'm gonna I'm gonna deal with this in my own way, Mr. Stern.
I know you don't believe it.
It's a crack, but we can we can we can even if it's true, we can dispel it.
We can um let me let me try this.
The do not the environmentalist blackos and animal rights people say that the activities of plants and animals tell us something about how nature works.
And wouldn't the earth be a much better, cleaner, less polluted place if we weren't here?
Or if there were fewer of us, and if we didn't live in such advanced Ways without so much industrialization and driving around smokestacks and all that.
Okay, they do.
They tell us all this.
They tell us primarily that American civilization, Western civilization, uh advanced free societies, are creating all of these horrible problems that are leading to global warming and climate change.
Now a moose, an innocent beast, placed here to be, you know, a cartoon character for us, or uh in some case a beast of burden, in some cases a national animal for the country of Norway.
Now all of a sudden, scientists who've been trying to tell us it's our SUVs and our automobiles now state it's a national national animal of Norway that's causing far more destruction to the climate.
Uh do they not also tell us that the activities of plants and animals, that's pure nature, right?
Pure 100% nature.
And uh they provide checks and balances that the natural world has that help to make the earth a more habitable place.
And all of a sudden, they've targeted cows, because that's a beef industry, but we don't eat moose.
Well, we Americans don't.
I don't know what they do over in Norway.
Um, if if if this is all true, all of this methane that the moose produce obviously means that Mother Nature intended it.
And Mother Nature does not destroy herself.
Mother Nature must have intended for this to happen.
Maybe what it means, where is Norway, folks?
It's up there near the Arctic Circle.
It is cold up there.
Maybe Mother Nature is doing this to help warm up the frigid place.
Which Mother Nature's cold.
Mother Nature's warming herself with moose gas.
Well, doesn't this make sense?
The moose, innocent animal like every lovable animal and plant in the in the in the world.
It's just the essence of nature, the essence of innocence, so it's out there.
Producing all this methane, gotta be a reason for it.
Has to be a reason for it.
Uh I say, it's pretty chilly up there in Norway.
Uh I think this is the only friendly uh environmentally friendly conclusion that we can draw.
Mother Nature is just trying to warm herself up.
Mother Nature could kill the moose and use the coat as a as a as a jacket or something, but no.
Mother nature's not going to destroy the moose.
How about the dinosaurs?
I mean, can you imagine you want to talk methane?
Wonder if they gas themselves into extinction now that this report has come out.
But look, this is absurd.
The idea that cars were destroying the planet, now it's a moose.
Does anybody want to really try to intellectually follow these people?
Uh it these.
It just gets more and more ridiculous each and every time these people come up with some finding, like these clowns at the physics place that have discovered a long-held secret to the source of sunshine.
It's the sun.
Who would have thought it?
Now, from live science.com, or it's getting close to back to school.
I hope your parents uh credit cards are still working here, kids, after you've gone out there and gotten ready to go.
But for those of you who haven't done the back to school shopping yet, I have some tips for you.
Some environmentally friendly back to school tips from the World Wildlife Fund.
Uh and this, they they want to keep your backpack green as you uh as you head back to school.
Here are some of the tips.
Get this.
Number one, see if there are around your house things like pencils and pens left over from last year that can be used this year in school rather than buying new.
Number two, look for school supplies, folders, notebooks, and staples made of recycled materials.
Using recycled products, help save landfill space and cut pollution.
The EPA has found that recycling reduces water pollution by one third, and air pollution by 75%.
Uh I don't know how you recycle staples.
I guess you'd you take, well, you get the staples that came in a staple document, it's your staple puller out there, and you take the staple out with a staple puller.
You know how to do that.
And then when it when it comes time to recycle the staple, uh you'd you just I guess you're gonna hammer and try to hammer the staple into the into the stack.
Or, you know, just pay, you know, one hole at a time for each side of the staple per page.
So you got let's say you've got uh oh, three or four pages and eat a staple.
So you take that staple.
We ought to do a video demonstration of this.
I can show how this is done.
Uh you you take a staple that you've pulled out of a previous document and you take it one page at a time, you take one end of the staple and stick it in the make sure you've got a band-aid and some hydrogen peroxide hanging by when you stab yourself doing this.
Um, try finding back to school deals on the uh web.
Ordering school supplies online or by phone saves you a trip to the store, as well as from having to burn fuel by driving from store to store.
Never mind uh that if you order it online, a jet's gonna bring it to the airport near your house, and a big van's gonna be then delivering it to your house.
Number five, look for the FSC label on pencils and paper.
Many paper products are made from trees, specifically grown and harvested for paper making, thus sparing delicate rainforest ecosystems.
The Forest Stewardship Council certifies that wood and paper products are grown and managed responsibly.
Number five, purchase supplies with minimal packaging.
Packaging make up uh makes up about a third of the garbage that piles up in landfills.
Number six, brown bag your meals and avoid plastic.
But see, if kids follow this, we might not have found that decapitated woman's head in gasoline alley or alligator alley the other day.
Because no criminal's gonna, you know, decapitate somebody, put their head in a plastic or in a in a in a brown bag.
This could lead to problem-solving crime.
But they still say it brown bag your meals and avoid plastic.
Pack your school lunches in brown, unbleached, recycled paper bags whenever possible.
And if your child has a favorite superhero, there's a good chance the character is printed on a reusable lunch box.
Uh number seven, prepare lunches for your little crumb crumb.
Who does this?
This is a school lunch program, a school breakfast program.
Who the hell's packing lunch for kids anymore?
You do it.
Okay, well then if you do that, use local produce, it says here.
Oh, yes.
Pack school lunches uh uh with local produce uh produce because of the distances food travels and the emissions necessary to ship and truck it to where you live.
Uh although broccoli is grown at nearby farms, the ones that shoppers pick up at the supermarket traverse an average distance of eighteen hundred miles.
Number nine, uh sorry, refill your water water bottles.
Don't throw those away.
Uh number nine, look for laptops made by companies working to reduce their global emissions, and number ten, walk or bike to school, not only to get exercise, but to benefit the environment.
Well, there you have it.
Global warming update today, the environmentally friendly back to school tips.
All designed to pollute the mind of you and your kid.
So let's review, folks.
We got moose burping.
We got moose farting, we got cows farting.
There's a whole lot of crap going on out there.
I also want to know what kid, what normal kid eats produce, especially for lunch at school.
Can you?
And of course, walking to school, that's increasingly difficult in this country because of bussing.
Back to the phones, Amy in Raleigh, North Carolina.
I got to Amy.
This is top ten all-time favorite female names, Amy.
Oh, right.
I'm so glad I made it.
I was wondering.
You made it.
You made it.
I'm so excited to talk to you, Rush.
Um, I just wanted to thank you for all your history lessons that you give because well, if it weren't for you and my dad, I'd be in trouble.
I'm a product of the um public school system.
And uh he turned me on to you in 88, by the way.
Wow, so you've been around since the inception.
Yeah, I think it was the abortion call was probably the first thing I ever heard.
You mean the caller abortion?
Call or abortion.
That's what I'm saying.
Oh, yeah, that's that's one of the uh That's what that's one of the one of the things that's established me as a not only great thinker but a uh fabulous performer as well.
But I just wanted to thank you uh concerning Vietnam.
I did manage to see Roger and me in college, but I never heard anything about a uh re-education camp.
That's the first time I've ever heard it today.
And uh so I just want to thank you.
Between my dad calling me on December 7th every year.
He started that when I was in college.
Um between the two of you, you've done a lot up in my eyes.
I just want to thank you.
Well, I appreciate that.
It's very nice, Amy.
I uh I'm glad the program holds uh uh such a high level of importance to you and has uh such meaning.
That's uh you made my day.
I appreciate that.
Thank you so much, Russia.
Take care.
Have a uh have a good summer.
Lucy in St. Louis on Cambox.
Welcome to the program.
Oh, thank you.
Hi, Rusty.
Uh on Sunday evening, Drudge uh on uh uh couple occasions uh gave Mrs. Obama's speech and lauded it.
He said uh gee, uh he'd almost vote for her for president or that she should run.
And all I wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Lucinda.
Who who said this?
Drudge.
Drudge said this.
On Sunday night.
Drudge said he liked Michelle Obama's speech, the one on fear.
He loved it.
He loved it.
He thought she was uh really uh special and uh actually every word that she said, though, I heard you.
I heard uh you verbatim and uh uh on the fear and on the family values, and uh I'm wondering if you're gonna consider suing her for the case.
Well, look at you know if I if I sued people that stole my thoughts and ideas, I would not have time to be on the radio.
Well, I take it as a sincere form of flattery.
I I uh although I I don't know that uh Michelle Obama was actually committing verbal plagiarism or anything, but it does that when I when I played the bite myself, you know, there was uh there were there were parts of it.
I said she's right about a lot of things.
The here's the here's the real kicker to it, though.
You know, she's she's dead on right, but I think fear is one of the biggest things that paralyzes people.
And most fear is self-induced.
Most fear is the result of people telling themselves stories about things in the future they're worried about that they can't possibly know.
And uh it just it paralyzes people.
It depresses you and all that.
It's not conducive.
But the thing is, she wants to get fear out of her kids' lives, then she's got to get them to stop listening to their dad and all the other Democrat presidential candidates because the Democrat Party is basing this entire campaign on fear and trying to create as much of it.
And that's what needs to be said about Mrs. Obama's remarks.
Her dad, uh her husband's out there talking about we can't win in Iraq, uh, we need change.
The country's going to hell in a handbasket.
They're all saying that.
They're trying to scare people to death.
I don't blame her for being worried about her daughters.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
John Boehner, Republican leader in the House just put out a uh statement said that uh more just said more and more Democrats are bucking their party leaders in acknowledging progress in Iraq.
Many rank and foul Democrats have seen this progress firsthand and now acknowledging the success of a strategy they've repeatedly opposed.
But Democrat leaders deeply invested in losing the war would rather move the goalposts and claim that a precipitous withdrawal is the right approach, despite the overwhelming evidence of significant progress.
Our message here is getting through.
To the great leaders in the hallowed halls of Congress.
They um we're winning.
Have you seen this?
I'm sure you've probably heard about this already.
It is um from newsbusters.org door uh it's the Cybercast news service, what it is.
A Kansas Court of Appeals has ruled that it's Illegal for an illegal alien to enter the country, but not illegal for an illegal alien to be here if the illegal alien can illegally make it past the border patrol without getting caught.
Honest folks, I have my hand in the air for those of you not watching on the Ditto Cam.
I am swearing here.
It is the truth, what I have just told you.
Ruling that it is illegal to enter the country without the proper documents and permissions, but it is not necessarily illegal to be in the country if you don't get caught upon entry.
The court threw out the sentence of an illegal immigrant who pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine and endangering a child.
So uh what how much if if what if what if I go rob a bank and I get away with it, and they don't fight out about it for a week.
Does it mean I get to keep the money?
Hey, you didn't catch me.
I got it.
Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
Because you waited too long to come after me.
Big uh big story here.
This is where is this?
This is in the Boston Globe.
And this is a great illustration, my friends, of the coordinated efforts of the drive-by media and the Democrat Party.
Children may lose out on insurance.
New U.S. rules, state plan are linked.
Thousands.
Thousands of Massachusetts children from low-income families could be denied health insurance under new rules imposed by the Bush administration late last week.
The rules could cut federal matching funds for a state-run program that's a key component of the state's health insurance initiative.
But congressional leaders, including Senator Kennedy, said yesterday they would fight the changes, which are the latest volley in the national battle over the future of the SHIP program, the state children's health insurance program.
This is the program that is going to allow the children of illegal immigrants to be covered with health insurance.
This is the program that says a child is anyone from infancy to age 25.
This is the program that says you are low income and qualify if your family household income is up to 82,000 a year.
So, and the Bush administration, the rules that uh that they are talking about.
Uh it is in this story, the way they write it is the the new federal rules could block enrollment of more children above 250% of the poverty level and could make it tougher for the state to continue covering about 4,500 already enrolled.
The state officials said they do not yet have a count of the number who are eligible and not enrolled.
No, they like to keep that a secret.
They don't want you knowing.
They don't want you knowing how many are uh uh eligible but not enrolled, and vice versa.
But did you catch this?
The new federal rules could block enrollment of more children above 250% of the poverty level.
Now, somebody, somebody do the math for me.
The poverty level, what what what's the poverty level for a single individual income is like 13 or 14,000 dollars, 1213, something like that?
What is 250 percent of that?
And remember we're talking each person in the household here.
Well, I don't know, 30, 30 grand or what have you.
The point is, that's why I'd asked if somebody run the run the numbers on this.
Uh I'd use my iPhone calculator, but uh Snerdley says it's close to 50 grand.
He just did you do this on a calculator, did you do it by you did it by hand?
All right, so if Snerdley is right, hell even if if if HR is right at 30, 250% of the poverty level and we're gonna this is a a program for poor children.
And you see how it's escalated.
The whole point of getting it eligible for kids up to age twenty-five.
This story doesn't mention that, of course.
Uh, and the uh 82 grand for family afford doesn't mention that, of course.
Uh, is this this is a stealth way to get more and more people under a you know the first couple steps of uh of a of a state run health program.
And of course, Bush hates kids and Ted Kennedy loves them.
Who's next on this show?
Rick in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
Thank you for calling, sir.
Rush, are you there?
Yeah, right here, Rick.
okay, great.
Thanks.
This is a hoot.
This is great talking with you.
I just wanted to suggest that maybe you could explain to John Kerry that Guantanamo Bay would be our re-education camp, and that possibly in thirty years or so, those detainees would be thriving citizens of the U.S. Uh well, no.
No, no, no.
We want thriving citizens of Iraq, thriving citizens of Afghanistan when we have re-educated them, quote unquote, and send them back.
So this is a great example.
I'm glad you mentioned this.
Club Gitmo.
Bontanamo Bay.
Abel Graeb.
Horrible.
Absolutely horrible.
Inhuman.
Civil rights violations.
Geneva Convention violations.
Bad.
Very bad.
United States equals evil.
Re-education camps in Vietnam.
Well, yeah, they're not pretty, but I've known some people that come out of there, and they're really thriving now.
Good point out there, Rick.
This Kevin in uh Winnebago, Illinois.
You're next.
Thank you for waiting, sir.
Great honor.
Thank you.
Uh I have two points.
Uh first of all, I I was uh present in much of the intelligence planning, and I had s a lot of the information prior to the war.
And I wait, wait, wait, which war are we talking about?
We're talking about Iraqi freedom and enduring freedom.
The current war.
2003, the invasion, okay.
Yes, sir.
And one of the things that doesn't come out is that prior to the run-up of the war, every Marine trained for days and days in nuclear biological and chemical weapons training.
And our uh and the MEF commander was General Hagee and the division commander was General Mattis, and they would not have put us through that had they thought somebody was lying to them about chemical weapons.
And in the intelligence preparation of the battle space, everybody, and we're talking about French, we're talking about Russian, we're talking about foreign intelligence said that they were going to use chemical weapons and that they had that.
So I can tell you that the first time they threw a scud into Kuwait, everybody put on their mop gear.
And when the first Marine Division and all the regiments crossed into Iraq, every Marine was in their mop gear.
So if if somebody was lying, it was a lie of the greatest degree, because I can tell you, General Mattis would not have lied to me.
That's my first point.
Nobody was lying, and you know it.
Absolutely.
Everybody knows it.
The Democrats who charge it know it.
But the more important point is the point, and and I'm old enough to to I'm a Vietnam era veteran.
I did not serve in Vietnam, but I can tell you that as a young lieutenant going through the basic school, we learned about the rules of war, and we heard about a guy by the name of Van Clauswitz.
And one of the things that the center of gravity for the enemy right now is the media, the Democratic Party, and the radical left.
Now I want to pose the question to you, and you and you throw it out to the public out there.
Can you imagine what the enemy would think if they had a unified American Democrat Republican party that was unified in the defeat of terror across the world?
Because we have to come to the realization that we are at war, and it is a global war on terror.
Now, if the enemy knew that every American politician was going to do everything they could to defeat the enemy in any place in any climb, think of what would happen to their will to win.
Because they they know that they cannot defeat us on the battlefield.
It's happening right now in Iraq.
We are defeating them at every turn.
in every battle we're defeating them and we're creating situations with the civilian populations they cannot defeat us there they are trying to do the same thing the vietnamese did in the vietnam war and if you read mal he will tell you this is a long march that the enemy have against us and their center of gravity is not the battlefield it is the democratic party it is the media and it is the anti-war left
And I can tell you it sickens me because as a retired Marine, I think that these people give aid and comfort to the enemy, and that's all I have to say.
Uh would you agree with a caller who called earlier wanted to say that the phrase that's applicable here is they've got the blood of uh American soldiers On their hands.
I would agree with that.
Yeah.
You know, you've you have uh expressed uh very uh uh cogently the beliefs of millions of Americans who are angry and frustrated as all get out at precisely the same things that you recited.
And one last thing, Rush.
Uh uh, all these people that say that uh only the poor go into uh service.
I have two young daughters that served uh uh both as officers in the Navy, and they could have done anything, and they chose to serve.
So uh all this crap that you hear from these uh leftists that only the poor go in the military, uh that's a crack of crap.
It's even worse than that.
It's not just they're poor, they're stupid.
And because they're poor and stupid, and because the American economy is bad, they don't have any choice.
It's the only place they can go to get out of these little dump towns they live in.
Uh, it's the only chance they'll ever have to get an education.
They really don't want to do this.
It's the it's a that this country is uh is in such bad shape that it's the only choice they've got.
Uh I this the one thing of all the things they do.
You know, you uh liberal's a liberal, and a Democrat is a Democrat.
So what when when they align themselves, whether purposely or accidentally, uh, with the enemy.
That's I mean, we've got evidence.
We've got a history.
They've done that before.
Never to this degree, but they've done it before.
But to then impugn and sully the reputations and a commitment and the patriotism of the men and women who in this country who join like your daughters, and then go out of their way to uh uh criticize them and their efforts and their motivation.
That's something that to me is not understandable and it's uh it's unforgivable.
Uh to impugn these people, try to sully their reputations, uh, all for the purposes of what?
Uh to get votes from some group that's going to sympathize with it.
Well, yeah, because there are people in this country who loathe the military.
You go to UC Santa Cruz, and the military can't go out there and recu recruit.
A lot of campuses uh campi across the country, they're hounded and heckled and so forth, the military recruiters are.
Uh, and Democrats want those votes from those people.
Thanks for the call, Kevin.
I really appreciate it.
Well done.
Uh, this is funny.
Uh, it's it is.
It's it's just it's just funny.
I have here, I'm holding in my uh formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
Little story here from uh the business and media institute.
They've got a website, businessandmedia.org.
It's a little story here written by a guy named Jeff Poor.
And the headline, CNN Colon, unsafe sex and pregnancy are the fault of smaller government.
CNN concerned that deficit reduction eliminated federally subsidized birth control for college students.
Happened today, August 22, CNN American Morning as part of its college week celebration.
Featured a segment.
We talked about this long time ago.
Uh in one of our morning updates.
Remember that, Mr. Snotley?
Listen to this.
The August 22 edition of CNN's American Morning Today, part of its college week uh celebration, featured a segment about the rising cost of birth control at college campaign and provided an interesting peek into the background of one of CNN's own employees.
When I was a uh student here at Columbia, birth control was cheap and plentiful, said CNN Medical Info Babe Elizabeth Cohen.
Well, not anymore.
When students hit the campus this week, they are in for some sticker shock.
The sticker shock, of course, is the rise in the cost of birth control, primarily pills and a birth control patch.
The deficit reduction act of 2005 paired or cut 39 billion dollars in spending on federal programs, including reductions in Medicaid.
That reduction changed the way Medicaid-related rebates that pharmaceutical companies pay to states are calculated, and that's forced birth control makers to stop offering colleges and universities discounted oral contraceptives.
For the story, CNN paraded out several people who saw this as a serious crisis and to explain why the government should act.
It'll mean that more college women will become pregnant in an unwanted pregnancy during their college years, claimed Representative Carolyn Maloney, Democrat in New York, to CNN, it'll mean that many will have to drop out of school or face an abortion.
It's a difficult situation To put college women in.
However, the CNN report did not offer anyone who would regard a birth control subsidy as excessive government spending, nor did they report on the moral elements involved with birth control financially supported by their government on college campi.
But the reporter at Elizabeth Collin did manage to find someone to point out the tough choices ahead for some students.
Quote, Stephanie Davidson, a Columbia student, worries that these students will have to choose between food, books, and birth control.
Just like the seniors.
Dog food or medicine.
Uh yeah, now here's this this in the story we did.
It was at Indiana, I think.
Uh some university in Indiana, maybe Indiana U. It was uh okay, okay.
It's what it was.
Uh uh some of these uh college co-eds are already mothers.
Uh and so these look, the point is that CNN goes out and does a report that it's the federal government's job to provide birth control for kids in college.
Why doesn't the universe what's it cost to go to Columbia thing?
20 grand a year or semester?
Why don't they throw in some birth control pills for crying out?
Why is it why is it always the government?
You know, put some birth control pills in every dorm room.
Put them in every packet when a student shows up to register.
I mean, this is this is uh classic.
And of course, the most obvious, the most obvious.
If you don't, if you can't afford, or if better, if you won't, if you won't buy your own tight wads, people you college kids, you're swimming in money.
You know, don't use the cell phone for three days and save up the money from forget your parents are paying that.
Uh for crying out loud, you know, walk instead of driving your Chevy or your car around all over the place.
I mean, priorities are priorities.
Why should the rest of us have to buy your birth control pills so you can run around and get pregnant and have an abortion in the first place?
Why is it our responsibility to do that?
The third alternative.
Well, okay, that's a fourth alternative.
The third alternative would be Lewinsky's.
Do it the Clinton way.
The fourth alternative.
Don't do it.
If you don't have the pills, you can't afford them and mean old government's not.
It's called abstinence and it works.
Why do you assume you're going to have an abortion and end up going to deport?
All right, we'll do open line Friday on Thursday tomorrow, uh, since tomorrow is essentially Friday for me.
I'm leaving Friday for a 10 day guy golf trip.
And I tell you what, it's it's fun to get away, but I hate the two days leading up to it, folks.
It is such a drag to have to get ready to go.
