	Hey, welcome back folks.

	I want to go back to this list.
	What?
	Oh, the bars.
	I'm sorry.
	That's right.
	Sorry about that.
	Ditto cameras forgot to turn the bars back off.
	Literal panic.
	The DittoCam subscribers that are Rush 24-7 can watch the program on the DittoCam.
	And I turned the bars off during the break because there's things going on.
	I mean, they got to have some privacy during these three hours.
	Just have to have some.
	How would you like a camera on you all day long while you work?
	At any rate, so I forgot to turn them back on.
	Thanks for the reminder, Dawn.
	I want to go back to this list of links put together by Dr. John Brignell of things caused by global warming.

	This is a list, over 600 links, all caused by global warming.
	It's Dr. John Brignell, British Engineering Professor, has a website called Number Watch.
	We'll link to all of this.
	You can click on every one of these links and read the story and see how every one of these things I mentioned is being blamed on global warming.
	All right, you people, back off out there.
	I just checked the subscriber email account.
	I'm going through this very important and hilarious list of everything caused by global warming.
	People say, stop it, stop it, stop it.
	Look, if I took time to comment on some of those, I'd still be doing it.
	I did you a favor by simply sticking to reading the list.
	Just a couple of more global warming things and back to your phone calls.
	It's now official.
	This year is set to be the sixth warmest since records began 150 years ago, cooler than earlier predicted, which means a slight respite for European ski resorts or bears trying to hibernate.
	2007 will be likely near equal with 2006.
	So, joint sixth warmest year, Phil Jones, head of the climate research unit at Britain's University of East Anglia, told Reuters, what's wrong with this?
	Sixth warmest?
	They told us that 2007, they originally predicted 2007 would be the warmest year on record.
	I wonder if these are the same people that predicted all these hurricanes that never happened.
	And speaking of that, great story today in the Houston Chronicle.
	When I saw this headline, I said, Whoa, I'm about to be honored.
	It says, rush to name storms.
	Then, see, I had this tendency to personalize things.
	Here's the story: with another hurricane season set to end this Friday, a controversy is brewing over decisions of the National Hurricane Center to designate several borderline systems as tropical storms.
	Some meteorologists, including former Hurricane Center Director Neil Frank, say as many as six of this year's 14 named tropical storms might have failed in earlier decades to earn named storm status.
	Frank said they seem to be naming storms a lot more than they used to.
	He directed the Hurricane Center from 74 to 87, is now chief meteorologist for KHOU-TV in Houston.
	This year, I would put at least four storms in a very questionable category, maybe even six.
	There's no question he's right.
	We never named subtropical storms until this year.
	And the reason they started doing that is because their predictions were running light.
	Their predictions were embarrassing us.
	They had to get some named storms.
	There was a storm.
	You know where Nova Scotia is?
	Nova Scotia, way up there above Maine.
	And there was a storm system that formed up there.
	And then it went out to sea and dissipated.
	They called it a tropical storm.
	It was the sea storm, I think.
	What was it?
	It doesn't matter what it is.
	No way that was a tropical storm.
	For one thing, it didn't happen in the tropics.
	Nova Scotia is not the tropics.
	I suspected this all along, naming storms that are not tropical, centered pressure.
	Central pressure has not fallen below, even though the winds might be 39 miles an hour or higher, which is the low designation for tropical storm.
	The barometric pressure never got low enough to be named, called one, but they did it anyway, just because their predictions were running so slow and the season was so uneventful.
	And they had to do something to keep people interested here.
	And then we had the story yesterday.
	We've had two years of light hurricane activity in this country.
	Experts are worried you will become empathetic.
	When in fact, we ought to be celebrating the storms creamed other people this year and last year rather than us.
	We took our share of them a couple years ago.
	Here's James in the Bronx.
	Nice to have you, sir, on the EIB network.
	Hello.
	Rush, a pleasure to meet you.
	Megadittos from the conservative, lonely guy in the Bronx.
	I wanted to, first of all, the debate last night I thought was a complete joke, and I was very, I finally turned it off out of disgust.
	But the one point that they haven't mentioned is our economic progress and the tax situation in this country that's really fueled our economy, and nobody has ever really mentioned it to the extent it has.
	Well, see, that's another great point.
	They chose questions that had nothing to do with reality here, just conservative clichés.
	You are exactly right.
	Economic growth for the third quarter, estimated at 3.9% a month ago.
	4.9%.
	4.9%, revised upward by the Bureau of Economic Analysis today.
	Can I make one other point?
	Wait a sec.
	Wait a sec.
	All during this period, the drive-bys are predicting a recession.
	That's right.
	They're full of baloney.
	The other thing is, I happen to be a practicing CPA.
	I lost my sight a while ago, but I still have my business thanks to your encouragement, so I have no problem with that.
	But as far as changing the tax code, it's not going to happen because there are too many lawyers and CPAs that would die if they ever changed the tax code.
	They got too much of an interest in it.
	Believe me, and I know because I've been a CPA since 56.
	So I know what goes on.
	Let me ask you a question here.
	Sure.
	James, I'm 56 years old.
	You've been a CPA since 1956.
	Is that right?
	Correct.
	That's correct.
	In the course of your life, how many presidential campaigns have you heard either candidate, either party, independent or whatever, third party, we've got to do something about the tax code.
	We've got to reform it.
	We've got to revise it.
	We're going to have to scrap it and start.
	How often have you heard that said?
	Never.
	Only by maybe Reagan, but that's about it.
	No, I hear it every campaign season is my point that nothing ever happens.
	Because they're full of baloney.
	They just like to hear themselves talk.
	Come on, Rush.
	No, no, no, no, it's not that.
	They're fooling people into thinking they're actually going to be able to do something about it.
	There was no conservative candidate on that panel last night, and I don't think we have one, believe me, and it's very upsetting and very disconcerting.
	Can I say one of them?
	Yeah, go right ahead.
	I happen to be a blind golfer, by the way.
	And I enjoy the game immensely, even though I lost my sight 10 years ago.
	Now, can I ask you, I have to ask you a question about you, because most people can't relate to the first year, a blind CPA.
	That's numbers.
	Right.
	I have equipment that enables me to do my work, special speech.
	But part of the fun of playing golf, James, is when you cream the ball, when you hit it on the screws, it's almost orgasmic to see the thing sail down the fairway 250 yards.
	How do you replace that?
	Since you can't see that, do you know when you've hit a good shot by how it feels?
	Yes, yes.
	First of all, I've been playing for a lot more years, number one.
	Number two, when I hear the click of that ball, I can tell by the impact where that ball is going.
	And then, of course, my friends yell, my God, look where he hit that ball.
	So I get that same thrill, bleeding.
	Okay, so you're going up, let's say you're 20 yards short of the green, and the pin's plus 10, and they give you the distance, and they give you.
	And I lose my number 10 wedge or whatever, and I pop it right on.
	And putting?
	The last game, yeah, putting is good.
	The last game I played, believe it or not, I shot a 99, which I think is respectable.
	Respectable?
	There are people who have been playing 20 years that can see who haven't ever broken 100.
	It's practice, Rush, practice.
	And by the way, I got to thank you for your inspiration.
	When I was down in my luck, I listened to you back in the 90s and I really appreciate that.
	You're an inspiration.
	I'm glad you called.
	What are the odds of this?
	The winner of a $1 million lottery scratch ticket may not be so lucky after all.
	He's a convicted bank robber who isn't supposed to gamble.
	Timothy Elliott faces a December 7th court hearing over whether he violated his probation when he bought the $10 ticket for the $800 million spectacular game at a supermarket in Hyannis.
	Under terms of his probation, he may not gamble, purchase lottery tickets, or visit an establishment where gaming is conducted, including restaurants where Kino may be played.
	He's 55, and he's collected the first 20 annual 50,000 checks, $50,000 checks, from the Massachusetts Lottery Commission.
	A picture of Elliott holding his first check, posted on the lottery's website Monday, though it was removed on Wednesday.
	What are the odds that a guy who's not supposed to gamble who's on probation and then is stupid enough to have his picture put on the website?
	Carrie in Grantville, Georgia.
	I'm glad you waited.
	Welcome to our program.
	Hi, Rush.
	Hi.
	Hey, can I first say that you are a recognized figure over SpongeBob in our household?
	Really?
	Yeah, we really appreciate that.
	And I also share your humor on the global warming and the Lotto ticket holder.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	I'm a little confused.
	You say I am recognized figure over SpongeBob?
	Oh, yes, you are.
	My children know Rush Limbaugh over SpongeBob.
	Trust me.
	Cool.
	Yeah, they're 12, 9, and 6, and they know Rush.
	And here in Georgia, that is a great thing.
	So dittos to you.
	Thank you.
	And let me get to my point here.
	I was watching, I have a couple of points, and then a question for you.
	Yeah.
	I was watching, well, I didn't get to see the YouTube thing.
	I had to watch it this morning, and I watched it very late.
	Oh, it was bad enough watching it live.
	You actually T-voted it?
	No, no, sir.
	No, sir.
	There were a few more important things in our household that needed to be T-Vo'd.
	Yeah, but you watched the stuff like that.
	How did you watch it today if you didn't see it last night?
	On the computer.
	Oh, you know, I never think of that because I cannot hear things on the computer.
	I understand.
	So I don't watch videos or anything like that.
	I don't even think to do that.
	Well, the minute my kids were on the school bus, I was there in my bathrobe watching it.
	And I was just watching it, and I was just, I was excited, disappointed, and thrilled by all of the candidates.
	But as a huge, I hate to say it, but as a huge Fox News Network junkie, it really dawned on me that CNN is just such a Clinton mafia follower.
	And I hate to be so brutal in saying that, but they really are a Clinton mafia follower.
	There's a reason why they are called the Clinton News Network.
	Yes.
	And I totally agree.
	And I just, I think a lot of the questions that were submitted were absolutely edited.
	They were absolutely formatted to not get to the issues of what the Republican Party stands for.
	I think that CNN kind of looks at the Republicans like a stepchild would look at.
	No, it's really not that.
	It's that they're all a bunch of libs in there, and they laugh at and impugn think conservatism is made of a bunch of kooks.
	And so their purpose last night was to expose conservatism and conservatives as liberals at CNN see them.
	But you don't think that the underlying effect is that most people do rely on Republicans to be to a higher standard in a higher format?
	As like a step parent would.
	You know what I mean?
	And what are you saying?
	I don't know what you're asking.
	You think the Republicans shouldn't have gone?
	Oh, no, not at all.
	I think they did a magnificent job challenging the stupidity that was asked upon them.
	I think they did a magnificent job.
	But I think as step parents, a lot of step parents are thrown into silly situations also to where you're human and you get tested and challenged in awkward ways that normally you would never be challenged in.
	And I think that Republicans are held to a higher standard than Democrats because I think ultimately most people look at Democrats as being kooky and kind of off-balance.
	My problem is, I mean, the Republicans did okay last night within the context of the questions asked.
	I don't think anybody really shined in a substantive way.
	Huckabee had the greatest comedy line.
	Rudy Giuliani had the mansion, the sanctuary mansion line.
	But I don't, I look at this in a different way.
	I try to put myself in the shoes of people who are not conservative.
	And sadly, there are those people there.
	And if there are people that are not, I'm not talking about liberals, but maybe just moderates, independents, whatever you want to call them, watching this thing.
	This thing tried to make a joke out of conservatism.
	I don't care how well the Republicans did.
	I don't think any of them realized what was happening here and was able to call CNN on what was happening and change the course of this thing.
	I know that there were the rules and you had to answer the questions posed by the debates.
	But this thing was nothing more than a continuance of the caricature of conservatives as racists, sexists, bigots, homophobes, and all these other clichéd things.
	And I do think it's up to the party and the candidates to have a little sensitivity to this and branch out from all of this rather than answer these questions submitted in the context of, okay, you're a racist.
	You tell me what you think of the Confederate flag.
	Okay, you are a homophobe.
	You tell me what you think of gays in the military.
	This was, they were fine within this narrow context, but there was so much potential here and such an opportunity, and I just didn't see it materialize.
	But that's just me.
	Michael in western Colorado.
	I'm glad you called, sir.
	You're next on the EIB network.
	Mega Dittos from the Grand Valley of Western Colorado, sir.
	It's an honor to speak to you.
	Thanks very much.
	Hey, listen, last night, you know, I'm not a big computer freak, but I do know about the YouTube deal and all of that.
	And as soon as I knew that they were going with CNN on this deal, I started watching it.
	And as soon as the guy, Cowboy Bob, came on with his guitar, started singing.
	I went, this is a Ringland Brothers Three Ring.
	That's right.
	Hey, Cookie, get me that opening guy.
	The opening, it wasn't even a question.
	I don't think.
	Give me this opening guitar guy with his lyrics about all these Republicans and the way that CNN opened this.
	You're exactly right.
	Three Ring Circus.
	And it also, I think one of the really, well, I guess was not an undercurrent.
	It was patently obvious.
	CNN doesn't take these people seriously.
	CNN doesn't take these Republican candidates seriously.
	They're just a walking bunch of jokes to be made fun of, to be caricatured, to be impugned, and so forth.
	And it just offends me because it need not have happened.
	I warned these people back in July that exactly what happened last night was going to happen.
	I warned them not to do it.
	It offended me right off the bat.
	And I agree with your comment earlier.
	I've gotten all my news off the radio this morning because I didn't watch it.
	But yeah, it blew me away when he started doing his deal.
	And they were panning the camera across all the candidates.
	And you could tell that they were all very uncomfortable.
	And I agreed with your statement that if any of them had any nards at all, they would have just walked right off the stage and said, I'm not going to be a part of this.
	It was horrific.
	Yeah, I know, it's easy to say that.
	You know, it's easy to say if I were there, I would have wagged my finger at Anderson Cooper and I would have said X and walked out of it.
	Easy to say that when you're not there.
	But anyway, we are not those guys.
	They are who they are.
	And one thing I've learned from doing television, people watching always think they can do it better than the people on it.
	In fact, when I had my TV show, the most frustrating thing about it, I'd finish a 30-minute show, and I thought it was just barn burner.
	I thought it was great.
	I'd get home and I'd start checking email from people.
	Well, you really blew it.
	You know what you should have said?
	And what is that tire where all these things?
	Oh, my gosh, I thought it was good.
	And then when I thought I had a rotten show, people liked it.
	So anyway, it's tough to sit here and watch these guys and say, if I would have been there, what I would have done was X.
	Yeah, I just saw this.
	Rodney King has been shot in the face and the arms.
	Fox News just had it.
	Rodney King, who was beaten by the cops out there in L.A., his injuries are not life-threatening.
	But Rodney, Can't We All Get Along King, has been shot in the face and the arms.
	Well, I guess we've answered the question of can we all get along, can't we?
	Hey, Snartly, quick question.
	You'll be watching the Packers and Cowboys tonight.
	You must have satellite.
	Brian, you're going to watch Packers and Cowboys.
	You must have satellite.
	Yeah, I know.
	HR's got to go to a sports bar, which is not bad if you're married, to watch the football game.
	I've got satellite.
	I'll be watching on satellite.
	Only 35 million homes are going to be able to watch this game tonight because NFL network is not in most cable systems.
	All right, we've got the opening song.
	We've had two or three callers mention this today.
	And by the way, The song stylist here is a man by the name of Chris Nandur.
	Now, I've got nothing against the song stylist.
	And what everybody, I couldn't, it's not his fault they chose his piece to open the debate.
	Now, remember, the YouTube stuff was supposed to be questions and limited to like 30, 35 seconds.
	This is a minute and 23.
	The grand old party's looking for somebody who can lead.
	Someone who is electable and adheres to our creed.
	Some say the group is not diverse.
	They're white, they're men, but wait.
	The Dems have just one candidate.
	Republicans have eight.
	Rudy's leading all the polls, but can he win the base?
	Mid-changed on abortion.
	History he can't erase.
	From Hollwood and the FDA, and that is just a start.
	Fred has just begun to run, but sure does look the part.
	Hunter tells us what to do in foreign policy debates.
	Huckabee's compassionate and lost a lot of weight.
	Tank Rito says, let's build a fence across the whole southwest.
	McCain is loved by many and hated by the rest.
	We don't know who we're voting for.
	We don't know who will win.
	That's why we use YouTube to ask our questions of these men.
	Time is short.
	We're voting soon.
	And I just thought I'd mention.
	If we don't reach consensus, then we'll decide at convention.
	All during that, they were panning close-ups of all the candidates as their names and their references were mentioned.
	And it's nothing against this song stylist, but CNN picks this.
	And I'm telling you, this is exactly what I warned these people of back in July.
	This is demeaning.
	It does not promote the stature of what is being sought here in any way, shape, manner, or form.
	And it was an attempt here to diminish these people by introducing them to the audience in these one-line lyrics about each candidate.
	David Montgomery, Alabama, hello, and welcome to the program, sir.
	Mega Dittos, Rush.
	Thank you.
	I just wanted to point out that what happened to the Republican candidates on CNN helps explain why the Democratic candidates wouldn't debate on Fox.
	They knew what they had planned when they were on CNN.
	I couldn't more profoundly disagree.
	The reason that the Democrats are not going on Fox is not because they're afraid of what will happen there.
	They are not going on Fox because they're trying to delegitimize Fox as a serious news outlet.
	They're trying to say, we're not going to go Fox.
	Fox is not even a news channel.
	We're not going to go on Fox.
	If they went on Fox, they would happen to appear before the largest audience they could get, and they would appear before some responsible journalists who might ask them some tough questions, but they wouldn't be caricatured and impugned and laughed at like was the case last night.
	They're not afraid of Fox.
	I keep hearing this, well, if they're afraid of Fox, they're going to be afraid of Binal Law.
	They're not afraid of Fox.
	They're just trying to delegitimize Fox and make people think Fox isn't serious.
	Don't watch it.
	Because Fox is an enemy to the Democrats.
	Like this program is an enemy because it's a media outlet no longer under their control.
	Monopolistic control.
	Jeff in Utica, New York, welcome to the program.
	Thank you.
	It's a great honor.
	How you doing, Jeff?
	Thank you.
	I just wanted to touch on one part that you almost touched on just now.
	I haven't heard this yet.
	But first, I think it was a great success last night.
	And no, I did not watch it.
	And the reason I know it was a great success is because 10 years ago, or maybe when Bill was running for office, Bill, the Clintons, and the Clinton News Network would have got away with what they did last night.
	But because of you and the 25 million plus that listen to you, they can't get away with it.
	No, and in fact, you know something else?
	They're not getting away.
	MSNBC Scarborough and his gang ripped them to shreds this morning over at MSNBC.
	And some of the other news outlets did the same.
	This has not been a good day.
	Oh, yeah, it's a good day.
	It's a good day for the new media.
	Yeah, but let me look at it.
	You know, this whole business, CNN, we didn't know.
	We didn't know who these people were.
	I take you back.
	Presidential campaign, 1992.
	George H.W. Bush, the incumbent, appearing on Larry King Alive from San Antonio, Texas.
	And out of the blue comes George Stephanopoulos on the phone to argue with President Bush.
	And Larry King acted stunned and shocked and amazed that George Stephanopoulos had gotten through.
	George, is this really you?
	There is a pattern here, ladies and gentlemen, to the way CNN operates.
	It is not called the Clinton News Network simply for humor.
	There is a pattern.
	And part of the pattern is they are losing their audience.
	It is diminishing, as it should be, because they are trying to present themselves as something they no longer are.
	They are not a news network.
	They are part of the Democrat Party agenda, and they are trying to hide that, but it's no longer capable of being hidden.
	Well, another exciting excursion into broadcast excellence sadly has come to its close for today, but we'll be back in 21 hours.
	It's already going to be Friday tomorrow.
	Open line Friday tomorrow.
	I'm not trying to rub it in on the Packers and Cowboys, folks, but I can't wait for this game.
	I simply can't wait for this game.
	It's just a tragedy.
	Most of you can't see it.
