| Well Mo, I uh uh if you're still out there, I was afraid of of uh this. | |
| I was afra I was afraid this was going to happen. | |
| And our hands are tied here. | |
| There's really nothing we can do now. | |
| Uh geez. | |
| Greetings to my friends and welcome back. | |
| Uh Rush Limbaugh, the excellence in broadcasting network, the fastest three hours in media. | |
| We are at 800-282-2882 and the email address rush at EIBNet.com. | |
| We got one rule here, folks. | |
| I say it and you believe it. | |
| All right, if you're just joining us and you missed the final call of the previous hour, uh call actually would have been four minutes or so. | |
| I asked the broadcast engineer in New York, Mike, to just give me a snippet of it. | |
| Uh, because uh I was I was I was a f as I say I was afraid of this. | |
| I tried to stop him, but he was intent on shouting over me uh because he, like a lot of people on the left, believe it I would cut him off. | |
| So we you know, folks, we uh the FBI profiles we profile. | |
| There's a lot to learn about Mo, even in just a one minute and forty-three snippet uh second of its call. | |
| Uh you're a unique guy, man. | |
| I don't know if that's not a compliment, it's not an insult, but listen, I listen to your show for the like the last two or three months, man, and I can't never get through. | |
| I got through today. | |
| You quick to show play sound bites of all the stuff that the Democrats have said and done. | |
| I'm not gonna knock it. | |
| Some of it was idiotic. | |
| Hey, you failed. | |
| Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on. | |
| You failed you have not one time. | |
| Mo play anything about the Republicans. | |
| Moe, you guys talk about the warrant. | |
| Hold on, hold on, hold on. | |
| Let me finish. | |
| I knew he's gonna cut me off, because that's what you could do. | |
| No, I wait. | |
| Mo, I can't understand you. | |
| I want you to slow down. | |
| I don't I don't cut people off. | |
| Okay. | |
| Okay. | |
| Well, if you've listened for three months, you should know that at least. | |
| Okay, well, we'll check it out, baby. | |
| I know I'll talk fast or or you might listen a little slower than that's all, baby, but welcome to it. | |
| Check it out, check it out, whatever. | |
| Slow down. | |
| All right. | |
| Well, listen to me. | |
| You you're quick to play sound bites on the Democrats and all the dumb stuff they say and done. | |
| I'm not knocking that. | |
| But you have not one time played anything on Condoleezza court trial when she uh was brought up on charge, was brought up on charts and not letting the American people know about the uh 911 incident. | |
| She was born six months, three months, and three weeks before it happened. | |
| Oh no, where do you cut me off? | |
| Now the funny part is you're quick to say that the Republicans didn't know about it. | |
| Well, two weeks before they went down, Cheney bought insurance for the World Trade Center. | |
| Now, him being in the circle that he was in, you think Bush didn't buy insurance on it? | |
| You think Condoleese didn't buy insurance on it? | |
| You got all these people out here thinking that the Democrats are the bad ones. | |
| Well, you guys are the ones who I'm not saying you, but the Bush and them are the ones who didn't let nobody know. | |
| Now, if they had to call some people, if they had to told some people that there's a possibility that these planes are gonna be hijacking land in the buildings, do you think they would have flown? | |
| Okay, that's Mo uh from Columbus, Ohio. | |
| Now uh let me profile Mo. | |
| We we know that Mo obviously went to the public schools. | |
| We know that Mo was passed every grade. | |
| I also wouldn't be surprised to learn that Mo plays for the Baltimore Ravens. | |
| Uh but here's here's the the bad thing, Mo, you have done it. | |
| You have let the secret out. | |
| Nobody knew about Condoleezza and Cheney buying insurance in the World Trade Center buildings. | |
| Nobody knew that. | |
| And you had to call here and you had to divulge that. | |
| Mo, there are ways the government can get us. | |
| And in this case, we have heard from them. | |
| It's called the Patriot Act. | |
| Government authorities have already contacted us asking for a copy of your call. | |
| This is every the people have been working real hard, Mo to keep what you blabber to the whole country here secret. | |
| Condoleezza was in a court trial, and that she and Cheney bought insurance weeks before the World Trade Center was uh was exploded by the terrorists in nine eleven. | |
| So I did I did my best, but when hey, Mo, when they call us, We have to turn it over. | |
| It's a Patriot Act. | |
| You know, warrantless searches, wiretaps. | |
| So when they know where you are, they know you're in Columbus. | |
| There aren't a whole lot of Moes in Columbus. | |
| I don't think you should run. | |
| I don't think there's anywhere to go. | |
| I think there's nowhere to hide. | |
| If they can find out six months in advance that we're going to get blown up by terrorists and they know about it and let it happen to go buy insurance on the buildings. | |
| They got they've got voice recognition equipment, Mo that you would not even understand or believe. | |
| They've they've they've got ways of breaking down via sign curves, disgruntrificators, any number of pieces of equipment. | |
| Every aspect of your voice, your inflection. | |
| It's not a good thing, Mo, that you did. | |
| I didn't want to play the segment once I found out that we got the call during the break from the authorities. | |
| I'm a little shaken. | |
| Uh for broadcast uh affiliates, I'm going to take the break early. | |
| Uh board ups, please stand by because we're going to the first break early, because I am shaken. | |
| Damn it, nobody was supposed to know that he had. | |
| What did you put him on the Air Force, Nerd? | |
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, the all knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling, all concern, Maharushnishi here behind the Golden EIB microphone at the distinguished and prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. | |
| Mo, one more thing. | |
| Since you you've blown the whistle on this whole insurance scam of Cheney and Condoleezza Rice, I may as well tell you something else that you uh may not know. | |
| Uh since you've blown this up and everybody now knows about it. | |
| Uh you you, sir, Mo, excuse me, are a candidate for waterboarding. | |
| I understand that Cheney has expanded it to domestic threats. | |
| And you, Mo have definitely qualified. | |
| Now you constitute a domestic threat with your inability to keep secrets. | |
| Nobody will be interested in how you found out about it, Mo. | |
| Well, they will be, actually. | |
| That's where the waterboarding comes in. | |
| The only people happy about this, Mo are the insurance companies. | |
| Since you've blown the whistle on Condi's scam, they're not gonna have to pay her the five billion dollars in insurance she took out in the World Trade Center. | |
| Maybe maybe not Cheney either. | |
| And so, Mo, you have res you have caused a lot of people lose, perhaps, maybe, a lot of money here. | |
| Some people just don't know when to shut up. | |
| I tried, I did everything I could, but he wouldn't listen. | |
| And since we don't cut people off. | |
| John, in uh in Raleigh, North Carolina, welcome, sir to the EIB network. | |
| Nice to have you uh with us. | |
| Uh thank thanks for having me, Rush. | |
| Mega did us. | |
| You bet. | |
| Uh I had just called in in reaction to Mo. | |
| I'm uh, you know, one of those tired folks out there is just exhausted with people like Mo getting airtime, I guess, and and having the confidence, even though they're uh, you know, and I disagree with you on this over the years. | |
| You've talked about the American people in general being intelligent, and I just don't I see it less and less every day, and I'm just exhausted with the American people and how stupid we can be as a nation. | |
| Well, it would be very dangerous uh to uh associate even a majority of the American people with the thought processes expressed by the uh the wonderful Moe from Columbus, Ohio. | |
| You can't really think. | |
| But we do know that 35% of the uh Democrat Party in polls have said they believe Bush knew about 9-11 before it happened, uh, which means that they have to believe he let it happen. | |
| Thirty-five percent of Democrats. | |
| That doesn't surprise me. | |
| But let me ask you a serious question here, John. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Dead serious about this now. | |
| And it's it's more it's more a psychological question. | |
| I'm sure that you've driven around and and you've seen uh bumper stickers on the backs of certain kind of liberal cars, like vans and so forth that say 9-11 was an inside job, or no blood for oil, or any one of these various conspiracy theories that they believe. | |
| Sure. | |
| Do you actually think, now this I'm being very serious, this is not a setup. | |
| Do you actually Think they believe it. | |
| Do you think that they believe these conspiracy theories that they espouse? | |
| See, I I don't, and I'm speaking now psychologically. | |
| If they really believe this stuff, what they're saying is if it were true, action is required. | |
| If the government in fact blew up the World Trade Centers for whatever reasons. | |
| If they actually did it, if these people actually believe that the administration is spying on them and monitoring their phone calls. | |
| If they actually think that Bush lied about everything to go into a rock, don't you think that there would be far more public demands and protests in the streets on the part of these people for redress and to stop it. | |
| These are really, really serious allegations. | |
| And I don't think they believe it. | |
| I think that they are just deranged. | |
| And I I think that they they they need something to give their lives meaning. | |
| They need something to believe and say to stand out. | |
| We've always had conspiracy theorists among us. | |
| I've been exposed to countless numbers of them my whole life. | |
| Uh, but I don't think they all really believe it, because their actions do not betray the fact that they really believe it. | |
| They just like running around spouting it. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I I mean, and I think I think there's a huge portion that do believe it, and thank God they're they're lazy, and they they won't take it further than the bumper stickers on there. | |
| Here's the real here's the real scary thing. | |
| Um, John, this is what and this is what everybody needs to know. | |
| You all heard Moe's call. | |
| The Democrat Party is going to be dropping gobs of money to find the Moes in this country and get them to the polls in November of 08. | |
| The Democrats will be spending untold amounts of money to find these people and give them transportation to the polls, and they will be furthering their conspiracy beliefs, whatever it takes. | |
| And that's that's the real thing. | |
| And we're you know just like a family. | |
| You know, every family has a bunch of uh oddballs in it. | |
| Well, look at this country. | |
| You know there have to be a significant number, pretty large percentage of what we would call oddballs, as long as we set the uh the baseline for normal, as being people like you and me. | |
| And we hope to think there are more of us than there are them. | |
| And I'm con there's no question that there are. | |
| I hope you're right. | |
| I hope you're right. | |
| Don't doubt me. | |
| John, thanks for the call. | |
| Appreciate it. | |
| Uh, where's this? | |
| Crossville, Tennessee. | |
| This is uh this is Susan. | |
| Nice to have you on the program. | |
| Hi, thank you for talking to me. | |
| You bet. | |
| I don't always agree with what you say, but I am glad you gave voice to that fool from Ohio. | |
| Because people need to realize that in order to insure anything or anyone, you have to have an insurable interest in that person or that item. | |
| And I don't believe, and I don't think anybody else can possibly believe that Cheney Bush, Condoleezza Rice, or anybody else had an insurable interest in the World Trade Center since it was owned by the Port Authority. | |
| Yeah, it's a point that I brilliantly made. | |
| I mean, uh I'm uh I'm only a high school graduate. | |
| I'm 61 years old, I've just started my own home business. | |
| Really? | |
| Congratulations. | |
| Well, thank you. | |
| Uh and uh basically it's an animal-oriented business, and I would like to send Pumpkin a gift if if I can get an address to mail it to you. | |
| Uh if you just put punk. | |
| Palm beach, Palm Beach, Florida 33480. | |
| She gets it. | |
| 33480? | |
| You will not be the first. | |
| I can't I get mail, pumpkin. | |
| I had no idea that you had a cat. | |
| I was I was very touched by your talking about your other cat that had passed away. | |
| When did you learn first that I had a cat? | |
| Uh about a week ago, I guess, maybe two weeks ago when you mentioned her on the program or him? | |
| Is it it him or her? | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| Well, you haven't been listening that long then. | |
| Well, I do, but only occasionally, because I am busy. | |
| You know, I have I have a house to run, I have a husband with Alzheimer's, and I'm busy, so I don't always get a chance to listen. | |
| What are you doing with your animal business? | |
| Uh making catnip toys. | |
| Oh. | |
| I have a website on the internet, and and I thought maybe Pumpkin would enjoy one of my toys since I get rave reviews from everybody who gets one. | |
| Now make sure you put punk it's P U N. P U N K-In. | |
| Wonderful. | |
| Is pumpkin a boy or a girl? | |
| She's female. | |
| She's a girl, okay. | |
| Yeah, she's ten years old. | |
| She doesn't know she's a girl anymore. | |
| Is she a ruddy Abyssinian? | |
| Ruddy Abyssinian, correct. | |
| Well, you said mentioned the other one was a blue Abbey, so I thought maybe that you had a ruddy. | |
| Yep, that's exactly right. | |
| And I was also touched by the idea that you mentioned yesterday about being able to turn your lights on outside again now that the turtle season was over. | |
| Oh, I was not only touched, I was deliriously happy. | |
| Well, I'm sure you were. | |
| It's nice to be able to see at night. | |
| You have to walk around in the dark because you're afraid baby turtles will go astray. | |
| I lived in the it's just that I have beautiful landscaping lighting in the back, and eight months a year I can't turn it on. | |
| I know, I know, and it's very good of you to to be so concerned not to have them go astray when they're trying to make the water. | |
| I know that. | |
| Exactly right. | |
| But I live in the middle of the year. | |
| I lived in Florida for nine and a half years, and a lot of people just don't give a damn. | |
| Tell me about it. | |
| But uh and I wish I was there now. | |
| I'm in Tennessee and I hate it. | |
| Well, why don't you move back? | |
| Well, we'll get about it. | |
| Okay, if you just put I I pumpkin gets mail. | |
| Okay, so it's Palm Beach 33480. | |
| Yeah, just put pumpkin limbaugh, and we'll get it. | |
| Okay, great. | |
| In fact, the last thing somebody said it was some catnip. | |
| And I well, I sampled it first. | |
| You know, anybody can send in stuff here to uh you know it wouldn't be so I sampled the catnip first to see if it worked. | |
| Well, I'll send a dream pillow for you. | |
| I make those two. | |
| Uh it's uh oh, dream pillow uh with catnip. | |
| Uh putting your pillow case. | |
| Okay. | |
| Appreciate that. | |
| Well, look, I'm I'm uh I'm I'm glad you called, and I appre appreciate the brilliant uh observation. | |
| Where do you where do you think uh Susan of all the things of all the conspiracy theories I've heard, I can't imagine what Mo is reading. | |
| I have no clue. | |
| Because I've seen I've seen no wacko theory. | |
| Uh yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You know, the one that says fire doesn't melt steel. | |
| Yeah, yeah, exactly. | |
| Fire doesn't melt steel. | |
| Perfect can MSNBC is gonna is gonna hire her. | |
| Perfect, perfect, perfect candidate. | |
| I mean, he's an absolute genius. | |
| Yeah. | |
| If that's an example of what the public school system is like in Ohio, I'm glad I don't live there. | |
| Yeah, you he was passed through every grade. | |
| Look, Susan, I'm glad you called. | |
| Thanks. | |
| Um Thanks very much. | |
| That's right, MSNBC is thinking about hiring Rosie O'Donnell, and the M SNBC executives say that they're not necessarily purposely going left to uh compete with Fox, and it just happens. | |
| Well, you know, they're maybe more right than they are wrong. | |
| This and let me give you a little profundity here, folks. | |
| Anything that is any group, any person that is not by definition conservative, will become liberal. | |
| Liberalism is the easiest choice in the world. | |
| It is the most gutless choice you could make. | |
| Because you don't have to do anything. | |
| All you have to do as a liberal is notice a problem, wail and whine and moan about it, and and and claim that you care, and you feel good about yourself, and you convince others that you have a big heart. | |
| Conservatism is an intellectual application that requires action to implement, to maintain, and to explain. | |
| It's tough. | |
| Liberalism, the most gutless choice a human being can make. | |
| James in Palm Beach, Florida. | |
| Welcome to the EIB network. | |
| Good afternoon, Mr. Limbaugh. | |
| Hi. | |
| Woman. | |
| Uh, we've been uh asked to call her a woman today. | |
| Pardon me. | |
| Woman. | |
| Yes. | |
| I was wondering if one of the traditions she wanted to return to was wailing. | |
| Were the Eskimos big in that? | |
| Uh the on uh this morning on the thing on Good Morning America, they were talking about uh that's how they subsisted. | |
| And it would seem like a glaring contradiction. | |
| Uh yeah, because that's considered to be inhumane now. | |
| Correct. | |
| Because there's a shortage of whales, uh endangered species, right? | |
| Uh no, well. | |
| Well, they say so. | |
| I don't know how they count them, but they say so. | |
| The other comment I had, uh Jason Lewis last week who did a pretty good job filling in your huge shoes there. | |
| The uh he said something about um eugenics was behind the global warming movement. | |
| Eugenics, the eugenics movement, or people that believed in eugenics are also involved in a global warming movement. | |
| Well, any time I hear the global warming crowd, uh to me, the logical conclusion I come to is that they see human beings as the problem, the natural result of that would be to limit the population. | |
| Well, it could be I haven't taken it that far out. | |
| Uh the problem is they're trying to eliminate the best and brightest and roll back the lifestyles of the most prosperous people, which by definition are not the idiots. | |
| I say it, you believe it. | |
| No questions asked. | |
| Rush Limbaugh with half my brain, sizable though it is, tied behind my back just to make it fair. | |
| All right, we have found, ladies and gentlemen, the uh the root of the conspiracy theory believed by Mull from Columbus, Ohio. | |
| Founded at Wikipedia. | |
| Critics often argue that the difficulty of preparing the building for demolition without being noticed, makes control demolition implausable. | |
| See, that's the first conspiracy theory was that uh, yeah, the planes hit the towers, but that's not what brought them down. | |
| Bush and Cheney brought them down. | |
| Secret government unit. | |
| And they prepared these buildings for implosion. | |
| And because the way the buildings fell, they had to implode. | |
| That didn't go over like that when it was because the airplanes hit them. | |
| Because fire doesn't melt steel. | |
| Hello, Rosie O'Donnell. | |
| And that, of course, ties in with the fact that Bush and Cheney knew all this, uh, that it was going to happen before it did, giving them time to rig the buildings for implosion. | |
| However, the difficulty of preparing the building for demolition without being noticed makes control demolition implausible. | |
| So they had to give that up. | |
| Some of them haven't, but some of them had to give up that theory. | |
| Now, proponents uh of the demolition theory sometimes point out that between 1993 and 2000, Marvin Bush, the brother of President Bush, was on the board of directors of Securecom, which is a company that provided security for the World Trade Center. | |
| According to its president and CEO, or present CEO, Barry McDaniel, the company had an ongoing contract to handle security security at the World Trade Center up to the day the buildings fell down, quote unquote. | |
| Uh this last statement has been used by some conspiracy theorists to say that the contract expired on September 11th, 2001. | |
| What the CEO said, yeah, we had insurance on a building, but when it stopped being a building, we didn't have any insurance on it. | |
| Or security. | |
| We handle security, but there's nothing to be when it went down, we handled security up until the day uh the buildings fell. | |
| Security admits this, but the conspiracy theorists say that uh is to say that the contract expired on September 11th, meaning that the company knew the building was going to go down. | |
| Mr. Bush was also a former director and is now an advisor to the board of directors to a firm called HCC Insurance Holdings, which had what it called a small participation in the World Trade Center property insurance coverage and some of the surrounding buildings. | |
| So that's where it all comes from. | |
| A security agency that was uh on the board of directors, Marvin Bush, the board of directors, had a contract up until the day the buildings went down, so they've extrapolated that to mean it expired. | |
| Uh and then Mr. Bush was also a former director of the company did some property insurance for the uh region. | |
| So that's that's where this stuff starts. | |
| Uh and it, you know, it it you know this stuff, uh, in order for people to believe this, you know this psychologically, for for people to believe this kind of thing, they have to have something wrong with them elsewhere. | |
| There has to be something missing in their lives. | |
| Uh there has to be something that's irrational already in place for this kind of stuff to take hold. | |
| You know, it's th this this this pales in comparison to I think the the most outrageously hilarious and funny conspiracy theory I've heard. | |
| And I know it's hard to pick one. | |
| The latest one, though, explaining the California wildfires. | |
| That the Iraq security firm Blackwater wanted the property of a number of uh where a number of homes were located to build a new training center in secret locations, training centers so forth for secret operations. | |
| And so they started the fires in the middle of the Santa Ana winds in order to drive those people off their property so it'd be much cheaper for Blackwater to buy. | |
| People actually believe this. | |
| It's hilarious. | |
| Richard, in uh in Woodby Island, Washington, you're next on the EIB network, sir. | |
| Hello. | |
| Uh good morning, Russ. | |
| Uh Mega Brinos to you. | |
| I was born in Cape Drawn and was raised in Scott City. | |
| Uh I'm a 20-year naval veteran. | |
| And I wanted to bring up the issue about the lighting that you mentioned yesterday about you turned on your lights and all that. | |
| And I'm an uh amateur astronomer and uh and also a conservative, and I think that uh we're the conservatives need to be aware that um we need to, you know, watch our lighting, and we waste a lot of energy. | |
| And to me, it's not a global warming issue, it's an issue about becoming less dependent on foreign oil and so and and those sources of energy. | |
| And and I really think that uh that we should do a better job at uh at looking into those types of uh and and conservatives getting more on board with you alternative energy sources just so that we can free ourselves of foreign oil and interest. | |
| Richard. | |
| You you still there, Richard? | |
| Yes, yes. | |
| Let me tell you something. | |
| I might shock you and I might surprise you. | |
| With about 80% of what you said, maybe 90% of what you said, I totally agree with you. | |
| You know, the thing of it is the uh I think the liberals and the Democrats have kind of hijacked that idea sick and tired. | |
| And I think we don't hear as much of it from from the Democrats in this country not letting us drill for our own oil. | |
| The Chicoms are drilling with the Cubans in the Gulf of Mexico right now. | |
| The Mexicans are discovering fields all over the place. | |
| We can't find oil in our own country because the environmentalist black holes won't let us go get it. | |
| I am sorry. | |
| But my lights and your lights and everybody else's lights are nothing. | |
| We are a growing economy. | |
| There is no reason we have to go back to the dark ages. | |
| There is no reason whatsoever. | |
| I'm all for saving and not wasting for just extravagant purposes, but at the same time, it's my house, it is my property, and if I'm willing to pay for it, then screw everybody else. | |
| As long as the energy is available and I'm willing to pay for it, screw it. | |
| I'm gonna do it, and I'm not gonna feel guilty about it. | |
| I don't have all the lights on all the time. | |
| I only turned them on because I got preached to during a football pregame show by a bunch of knuckleheaded sports liberals who have had their show turned into a whole green expose, advancing a political agenda in the middle of a football free game show that I had no business watching anyway because I'm smart enough to know better. | |
| That I was still watching it, and so they are here they are. | |
| You gotta understand this out there, Richard. | |
| These guys are urging every one of us to turn off their lights. | |
| They're showing us a satellite picture of the Earth at night with all the lights on. | |
| Then they get their blimp flying over Philadelphia. | |
| There are two stadiums fully lit up, none of them being used. | |
| This Philadelphia skyline's lit up like crazy. | |
| Why? | |
| Because TV needs the nighttime pictures because the blimp pays a lot of advertising. | |
| You can't put a blimp up there at night. | |
| Then these clowns on the pregame show go by candlelight. | |
| But did you notice at the halftime show? | |
| Candlight in the studio, but that big red Toyota sign was blaring. | |
| The sponsor got his electricity on NBC. | |
| My point to you, Richard, is that my lights and everybody else's lights have nothing to do with foreign dependence. | |
| What it has to do with is we have liberals in this country who will not allow this country to find its own energy resources. | |
| Oil is king right now, and it's going to be for a long time. | |
| We go pie in the sky about alternative sources all we want, and we can start working on them, but we got to realize they're not going to be able to Provide the power for this country to grow for years. | |
| And we have to continue to grow. | |
| We are not a country that wants to regress. | |
| I don't want to go back to streets covered in horse manure because they banned the car. | |
| And I am not going to. | |
| I am not going to go out and grab a bunch of leaves that have fallen from my palm trees, take them inside when I have to use the bathroom. | |
| I am going to use toilet paper. | |
| I'm going to try to be as hygienically correct as I can. | |
| If I need my lights on because I like looking at them or because I need to use them, then by golly, by gosh, they are going to be on. | |
| The Saudi's be damned because the Saudis are not our problem. | |
| The Democrats are our problem. | |
| You should be calling them and not me if you're worried about too much dependence on foreign oil. | |
| Crying out loud. | |
| How many times do I have to say this to people? | |
| I have an even better way to save energy. | |
| Stop complaining to me about my lights. | |
| Let's just turn off MSNBC. | |
| Turn off CNN. | |
| Well, it may not you mean it won't do anything because there aren't that many people watching in the first place. | |
| Well, I'm talking about the electricity they use is putting that drivel on the air. | |
| Just turn CNN off. | |
| I'm not talking on your TV. | |
| I'm talking about turn off the business. | |
| So damn concerned about power usage. | |
| What is the efficiency of all the electricity and power these networks use to reach these minuscule audiences they've got? | |
| Get this story. | |
| This story just came across on the wire during during the break. | |
| This is just so classic drive-by media. | |
| As you know, we went off daylight savings time Saturday. | |
| Well, Sunday morning at two o'clock. | |
| Washington. | |
| After clocks are turned back this weekend, pedestrians walking during the evening rush hour are nearly three times more likely to be struck and killed by cars than before the time change, according to two U.S. scientists. | |
| Ending daylight saving time translates into about 37 more U.S. pedestrian deaths around 6 p.m. in November compared to October, the researchers report. | |
| Their study of risk to pedestrians is preliminary, but confirms previous findings of higher deaths after clocks are set back in the fall. | |
| For cracking out what happens every year. | |
| What are we supposed to do about it? | |
| We can't have we can't go on daylight time year round because then the children would be walking to school. | |
| It'd be dark until nine freaking o'clock. | |
| How many little kids get run over? | |
| How many pedestrian deaths are there in the morning before we go off daylight time? | |
| What a bunch of crock. | |
| Just dying time change. | |
| Daylight saving time, killing people. | |
| And look at this. | |
| I've had to suspend this. | |
| I'm gonna have to do this tomorrow. | |
| I've got it's a great story. | |
| Female absenteeism more about more than just child care. | |
| Women are far more often absent from work than men, is the point of the story. | |
| And uh they call in sick more often. | |
| Women call in sick more often than men. | |
| It's labor department data. | |
| Uh it's not women without children uh absent as much, but they're still absent more than men. | |
| Married men with kids actually report a lower rate of absences than men without kids. | |
| Hell yes, who would want to stay home with a kids if you're married? | |
| Working must be better than staying home. | |
| What no? | |
| I'm I well, yes, HR, I'm getting arguments now from all the fathers on the staff. | |
| Uh anyway, it's a long drawn-out story, but I got brilliant observations to make about it. | |
| And one of them is the Feminazis had better get on the ball here, and they start they better start blaming lower pay for this for women's greater absenteeism before that absentee and absenteeism is considered a factor in lower pay. | |
| If we have, if the labor department says that far more women are absent, far more often calling in sick. | |
| And then the same statistics come in female pay is only X percentage of what men get somewhat justified if they don't show up. | |
| So the feminazis got to get out in front of this to head this off. | |
| I don't know if they still have the organizational brains to figure this out. | |
| Um but um it's all being chalked up to the fact that working moms have most of the responsibilities at home. | |
| That translates into female employees having to take sick days to tend to sick kids. | |
| However, um labor department data shared with uh MSNBC.com seems to support this to a degree. | |
| But even among people who have no children at home, the reported absence rate is higher among women than it is among men, and it can create an air of unreliability about female employees. | |
| So um I just uh I I I find I find it interesting. | |
| But I I don't want to spend time analyzing it today because I got people on the phones that I want to get to have been waiting. | |
| Can I Alaska and uh and Angie, thank you for waiting. | |
| Welcome to the program. | |
| Hi, it's Keenai, but uh my point that I'd like to say is really like I would really like Washington to just stick his nose pick its nose and stick it somewhere else other than Alaska environmental issues. | |
| You know what? | |
| Uh a lot of us would like to sell a federal government stick his nose somewhere else about a lot of things. | |
| So I totally understand your sediment. | |
| Yeah, it's um really upsetting to me. | |
| I'm the wife of a Eskimo who was brought up on the Yukon River, and he completely uh thinks the subsistence way of life cannot go back to the way it was, that there are elements of it that are good, but he has uh no feelings whatsoever about ever going back to the way it was. | |
| He's very happy the way he is now. | |
| He still gets to spend his time on the water using a modern boat that uses diesel that pollutes the air and provides us with a living that he could never have on quote unquote life. | |
| Amen. | |
| Amen. | |
| I'm I'm gonna look at I'm I know folks a number of you probably think that I have sounded harsh today. | |
| So if you have, let me add to it here with one more comment. | |
| Uh I understand the romantic notion of wanting a simpler time. | |
| We all do. | |
| I would love for the 50s and 60s. | |
| You know, we could buy a giant car with huge fins on it and be able to put some of the modern gizmos in it. | |
| I'd love to be able to let kids go out the house and not worry for four or five hours where they are, leave the doors unlocked, all that we can't. | |
| Uh, it's a fantasy. | |
| The idea of taking lifestyles and progress and throwing them overboard and moving back is something that if if if if they're just a few little minority group of people, | |
| I don't care where they are, but Eskimos I don't care who they are, they should not be allowed to dictate the progress and the growth that this country is known for and famous for that the people of this country expect and demand. | |
| There is a thing called American exceptionalism. | |
| And there are people trying to derail it. | |
| And these romantic notions, look where we are. | |
| All we have to all we have to, and a group of 100 people, if two of them are offended about what is said about what is done. | |
| Smoking, guess what happens? | |
| The ninety-eight have to stop and and and and uh go along with the the two percent of the of the whiners and moaners. | |
| It's got to stop. | |
| So a bunch of people, a relatively few bunch of people who want to take the country backwards, should not be allowed to succeed. | |
| And why do you think the global warming movement is embracing them? | |
| Because that's exactly what they want to do, not because they want to go backwards, they want to change capitalism to socialism, which will accomplish the same thing. | |
| Except they will be exempted. | |
| They will not live under the same rules that they established for one and all. | |
| Garrandam to you, folks, if the day ever came to where the biggest car you could buy is a one of These little bubbles that you see driving around Europe. | |
| I guarantee you that the leaders of the country, the leaders of movements, would have their SUVs, they would have their airplanes, they would have all of their creature comforts that they want. | |
| You wouldn't. | |
| We'll be back. | |
| Uh weather forecasts, strong cold front, much colder weather across the eastern U.S. Over the next several days, rain possible in the northeast, especially in coastal New England, lake effects snows are possible. | |
| And it's not even wintertime yet, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| That won't be winter until December 21st. |
