Time Text
Hi, how are you?
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Great to have you with us.
Such a thrill, such an honor, such a delight to be here with you each day to discuss the things that matter most to one and all.
I am Rush Limbaugh, your highly trained broadcast specialist, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations daily.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
By the I want to play number 17 first again here, Mike.
Last night, uh then we'll go to 16.
We'll get we'll get Hillary in the wrinkles than she's earned talking about.
Uh last night, uh, as uh many of you were, I'm sure, is uh flipping around watching the various analysis of the uh returns that came in last night.
Bill Crystal on the Fox News Channel uh said that this campaign is nowhere near as divisive as McCain Bush in uh in 2000.
And while that was true, I think it misses the uh the point by s by a long shot.
Uh in 2000, McCain versus Bush.
It was the candidates who were deeply divided.
In 2008, our candidate is deeply divided from the base of his party.
And that is a problem.
Uh last night in Texas, I think when it all was said and done, uh, what did Senator McCain get?
52, 54 percent of the Republican vote in Texas.
When he really has no opposition.
Uh in Ohio, and then Ohio and Texas, uh, the conservative and very conservative votes split 50-50 between Senator McCain and uh and Governor Huckabee.
Uh but you can look at it and you say, our guy McCain lost something like 54% or 44, 42 percent of our voters in a race where he has no real opposition.
And the Fox Boys were trying to spin this as some great victory that had just been achieved.
Uh and you just that's wishful thinking.
Uh hope it turns around.
I I I really do.
Listen to Senator McCain himself.
This is Senator McCain last night in Dallas, a portion of his victory speech thanking Democrats and independents.
I want to thank all of you here, all the Republicans, independents, and independent thinking Democrats in all parts of the country who supported our campaign for the nomination and have brought us across the finish line first.
An accomplishment that once seemed to more than a few doubters unlikely.
So once again, we, ladies and gentlemen, subverting democracy by suggesting that uh Republican voters vote for Senator Clinton in Ohio and Texas, Senator McCain thanking independents and Democrats are voting for him.
Uh we're mavericks, too.
We just don't get the uh the credit for it.
Here's Mrs. Clinton.
This is uh Monday night, San Antonio uh speaks for itself.
Granted, I am a little older.
I have earned every wrinkle on my face.
And I feel just as energized by what we're gonna do in this election as I did back then.
Back when I mean, if I I mean I could I could take that as a personal response to me.
Because I raised the question, uh, people want to watch a woman age daily in the Oval Office.
Now moving on to the Charlie Rose show on PBS last night, David Brooks of the New York Times was a guest.
Charlie Rose said, hey, what is McCain's answer to those Democrats that want to wrap George Bush around him?
He does have to run against Bush, and to some extent run against the Republican Party.
And believe me, he owes the elders of the Republican Party, and by that I mean the Rush Limbaugh and some of the Washington interest groups.
He owes them absolutely nothing.
And so I think he should feel some freedom to do what he needs to do.
And what is actually in his nature to do.
He is not an ideological orthodox Republican by any means.
He's never been one.
Oh, that's exactly right.
Um, but I am an elder of the Republican Party.
The elder of the the elders of the Republican Party got their nominee.
This is this this is absurd.
It's surreal.
The elders of the party got their nominee.
But listen, here's this is this is David Brooks, the author of the thought that we need a new political party, the McCain Lieberman Party, advocating that McCain run against the Republican Party and run against the elders, the limbos doesn't owe us anything.
He should feel some freedom to do what he needs to do, and that's what exactly is his nature to do.
He's not an ideological orthodox Republican by any means, and he never has been one.
And that's why we support him.
Who boy.
Mrs. Clinton this morning, CBS The Early Show, Harry Smith said, We talked to a lot of people in Ohio said there really isn't that a significant difference between uh you and Obama.
They'd like to see you both on the ticket.
Well, that may uh, you know, be where this is headed, but of course we have to decide who's on the top of the ticket.
And I think that the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me.
And after all, no one in recent history has won the presidency who did not win their party's primary in Ohio, Harry.
Oh, I love this.
So Mrs. Clinton, who really did not have a significant delegate gain last night.
All of you who are worried about what happened yesterday, don't be.
She did not have a significant delegate gain because while she won the Texas primary, she lost the Texas caucuses.
And the delegates that she got in the Texas caucuses sort of wipe out uh or the Obama won the caucuses.
Obama won the caucuses, and the the delegates he got in the caucuses in Texas wiped out whatever delegate gain Hillary got in Ohio.
So it was close to a wash, but now she said, hey, look, I won Ohio.
I should be the nominee.
Well, you think that'll fly at Obama headquarters?
And then there's this from Ron Fournier of the Associated Press.
Democrats fret.
Long battle.
Hillary Rodham Clinton slowed Barack Obama's momentum Tuesday night with a winning formula that has Republicans smiling and some Democrat leaders hoping to end the race soon.
Though she still faces a virtually insurmountable disadvantage in a delegate chase, Mrs. Clinton managed to keep her campaign afloat with a kitchen sink attack strategy designed to raise doubts about Obama.
It worked, but to what end?
And so they're all fretting the drive-by's.
Everybody, everybody fretting, sweating here over the never-ending process.
Kansas City star Steve Kraske.
His nomination process remains unresolved.
Hey, Pennsylvania, what do you think?
With Hillary Clinton, the winner Tuesday night in Ohio and Texas, Democrats are looking at a nomination race, extending at least another seven weeks until hey, Steve, pardon the sniffles here, folks.
It's three months, Steve.
June 7th, Puerto Rico.
Make book on it.
But he says here seven long weeks.
That prospect was making Democrats quake Tuesday night for a host of reasons.
First among them.
The race is increasingly negative tone.
Clinton has demonstrated that hitting Barack Obama with negative attacks is effective.
So the tough criticism may well continue.
The attacks appear to have stuck among voters who made up their minds during the past three days.
Clinton won 61 to 38% over Obama in Texas, according to exit polls.
Former White House advisor David Rodham Gurgen on Tuesday's CNN said they could have a train wreck on their hands.
Yes.
Yes, yes.
Exactly right.
And then in the Washington Post today, Jonathan Weissman and Shell Egg Murray.
Obama, in the weeks to come, a costly battle on two fronts.
I think this could end up being his worst nightmare, and I don't think he's up to this.
Obama is not tested like Hillary to take incoming mortar fire.
Wrong button.
Don't do anything up there in the engineer's booth.
He had the wrong button here to signal him to do something.
I gotta, I'm riding the cough button here because of the sniffles.
And I can't go to the Kleenex here during the broadcast segment.
With losses in three out of four primaries yesterday, Senator Obama and his campaign face a scenario that a barrage of advertising phone calls and door knocking could not avert.
A protracted two-front war against Senator Clinton and McCain.
Even before the polls open, campaign officials were dreading an outcome.
That would keep Clinton in the race at least through Pennsylvania.
Those seven weeks to Pennsylvania will cost Obama at least ten mil, possibly much more, as he battles a rejuvenated Clinton who will have every incentive to try to force him into a major mistake.
Obama aides also expect to take concentrated fire from McCain and his Republican ally.
Well, I hope so.
For months before his victory in Iowa, doubters questioned whether Obama had the stomach to deliver the blows necessary to wear down Clinton's advantages.
Now the question is whether he can take a punch.
And you know they're going to be coming, said former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, a Clinton supporter.
So they're all worried, gosh, can Obama take the incoming fire?
It's going to be headed his way.
What'll he do in response to it?
Brief timeout, folks, will continue after this.
Don't go anywhere.
Dear Rush, this is from a subscriber at Rush Limbaugh.com from California.
Uh woman's name is uh is is Lynn.
I'm not gonna mention her last name.
My family calls you my boyfriend.
I listened to three programs a day as a subscriber to 24-7.
I told my husband that I was going to break up with you.
You delivered Texas for Hillbilly, and I wanted a stake through her heart.
Obama is unelectable, Rush.
Hillary is going to somehow steal the election.
I know several Democrats who will not vote if Barack Hussein Obama is a nominee.
I wanted Texas to grab some garlic, a crucifix, and some holy water, go into the voting booth and drive a stake in the heart of Hillary Diane Clinton by voting for Barack Hussein Obama.
I can't bear to look at her chipmunk cheeks a day longer.
The F bomb was dropped in my house last night.
I don't think you can be my boyfriend anymore.
P. S., I hope you're feeling better.
Lynn, you got nothing to worry about out there.
Literally nothing whatsoever to worry about.
The Chicago Sun Times, by the way, is all over, Senator Obama.
Hang on a minute.
I'm not gonna sneeze coming on here.
I can just sense I'm trying to ward it off.
Trying to ward off the sneeze.
Jury selection began Monday.
In the trial of political influence pedaler Tony Rezco.
This would be the time before a single witness takes the stand for Barack Obama to finally share every detail of his relationship with Rezco.
His editorial from the Chicago Sun Times, Rezco stands accused of funneling state bidness to companies that lined his pockets and made campaign contributions to Governor Blogevich.
Rezco allegedly directed 10 grand to Obama's 2004 campaign to the U.S. Senate.
The criminal charges against Rezco in no way implicate Obama in any wrongdoing, but they do raise the question of the dealings between the two men.
For months, some time sometimes investigative reporters have had a standing request to meet with Obama face to face to get answers to questions such as these.
How many fundraisers did Rezco throw for Obama?
Obama's donating 150,000 to charity that Rezco brought into the campaign, but how much in all did Rezco raise?
Did Rezco find jobs for Obama backers in the Blogovich administration or elsewhere?
Why did Obama only recently admit after Bloomberg News broke the story that Rezco had turned his South Side Mansion or toured his Southside mansion with him in 2004 before he bought it?
Dribs and drabs of people's lives have a most unfortunate way of coming out in trials.
And so the Chicago Sun Times says, hey, Barack, to prevent the dribs and drabs, tell us in advance.
And in another story in the Chicago Sun Times, by the Way, I mention all this only because if you don't think Clinton Inc.
is going to be keeping a sharp eye on this.
Uh probably, I mean, how many how many Clinton Inc.
jurors will there be?
And of course, Obama could fire back with Norman Shu stuff if he wanted to.
Plenty of stuff to fire back at here.
Hope it happens.
That's the whole point.
As questioning of potential jurors wrapped up Tuesday in the corruption trial of Tony Rezco, a new accusation is surfaced that Rezco paid a one and a half million dollar bribe in an effort to win a fifty million dollar business deal in Iraq.
In a court filing, Rezco's lawyers say that prosecutors accuse him in a closed door meeting of paying the bribe to Aham Al Smare, Iraq's former Minister of Electricity.
Rezco's defense team call the accusation baseless.
They accuse the prosecution of relying too heavily on the word of Daniel Maru, a former Resco business partner who is expected to testify against Rezco.
Drips and drabs, drips and drabs.
Here's Obama, all hot to trot on his anti-awark uh anti-Iraq policy.
Should not have gone there, shouldn't have anything to do with what's going on.
A bad mistake Bush should have never gone.
The guy, therefore, who enabled Obama to buy his house at below market price is now accused of paying a one and a half million dollar bribe in an effort to win a fifty million dollar business deal in that very same Iraq that Obama says we have no business being in.
Uh back to the phones.
Missy in Crestwood, Missouri, outside St. Louis.
Nice to have you here.
Welcome.
Hi.
Um Rush, you have completely shocked me today, and I am so exasperated I cannot tell you.
You sound like a completely different person than you did like a month ago.
Because what you said today is um, you know, we're in a ra we're in a in a war in a race with where the other side is totally engaged, and our side is not engaged, and you know,
it's a really serious situation, and you for one are not gonna sit around and you know, let the other side win when you have the power to do something creative to uh help our side.
And I keep thinking, if only you had thought that way, um, you know, before the Republican candidate had been chosen, we wouldn't be stuck with John McCain.
But back then, you didn't want to have any part of um, you know, uh imposing yourself in the process.
You didn't want to have anything to do with, you know, um trying to influence the the voters one way or another.
It had to be done the right way.
And now today you're obviously showing how much glee you feel over the fact that you were able to, you know, involve yourself in the process and it worked, and you know, you're now you're a maverick and ha, everything is fun.
I just wish you could have done this before.
Um, that was then, this is now.
What what would you have preferred that I do uh creatively back then?
I mean, because back then, you know, I was as anti-liberal and Democrat as I am today.
I w I would have wished that you had um like you told everybody um a couple of days ago, go out and vote for Hillary, if you could have said uh go out and vote for Fred Thompson.
Or at least said um.
Don't go out and vote for um, you know, this guy, this guy, or this guy.
There's really only one conservative in the race, and that's what we need.
That's what our country needs right now.
And if you had one of those real conservatives would probably be our candidate today.
See, I I I uh I appreciate your saying that.
I really do, but I disagree with you.
I think candidates win elections, not their supporters.
Uh and if the candidate, any candidate is not showing the oomph, the passion or the desire for it, there's nothing a supporter can do to gin that up.
Well, see, I think that Fred Thompson did show that.
It he just showed it in a different way.
Well, he sh he might have, maybe, but he showed it a little bit late.
Missy, I I have to run.
I'll uh I got a hard break I can't miss, but I'll uh I'll add to my comments of it.
Thanks so much for the call.
Be right back, folks.
By the way, before I forget it, a programming note.
I will be off tomorrow and Friday.
These are long scheduled days off.
Uh got a golf tournament I'm going to.
I did not go to either the ATT or the Bob Hope that I normally play in in January and February.
Stuck it out here.
We got a little lull here in the campaign process.
So I'm Thursday and Friday Jason Lewis sitting and be back here bright and early on on Monday.
But back to what Missy said.
Missy said that essentially I did not creatively insert myself during the early going to pick a GOP candidate, and that I should have endorsed Fred Thompson.
If I would endorse Fred Thompson, it could have put Thompson over the top because he's a genuine conservative in the race.
But, you know, there's a problem.
I never endorse in primaries because I don't want to tie myself to a particular politician.
I can't tell what, especially when I'm not part of their campaign.
I don't know where they're going to go.
I don't know what they're going to do.
I don't know whether their desire is full-fledged.
We're going to hang in, stick it out, do something stupid, uh, make some policy switch in the middle of the game that embarrasses me, that I have to sit here and explain, hey, you endorse X, and X had just come out pro-choice.
Well, what the hell I don't want to put myself in that position.
You know, my success is not determined by who wins elections.
I say over and over again.
But by not endorsing anyone, at the same time stating factually that McCain was not conservative.
That's when people said that I had brilliantly inserted myself into the election.
You know, I I may not have endorsed somebody, but you knew full well who I thought was problematic on our side.
Uh I mean, this ought to illustrate to everybody that when I do insert myself, a la Texas and Ohio and Hillary, everybody will see and know it.
Uh kind of like, you know, when I I never used to encourage phone calls to Washington.
I did it one time just to demonstrate what would happen if I did.
Steve Roberts, who was working for U.S. uh, what was it, U.S. News?
Using working for U.S. News and World Report came in and said, Well, you're always encouraging people.
No, I don't, Steve, you're you're confusing me with her hosts.
I don't do that.
I said, I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna I'm gonna show you what would happen if I did it.
And we did it, and we shut down the uh Capitol Hill switchboard.
Uh when it happened, just to illustrate.
So uh getting involved in primaries is a is a real, real, real risk.
Uh for example, what if I had endorsed Fred Thompson?
You think it would have made any significant difference?
It would it wouldn't have be he got involved in it too late.
Um I loved what he stood for.
Don't misunderstand.
I loved what he stood for.
But I think he tried to get elected and tried to get the nomination in an unconventional way, and it it didn't work.
What if I'd endorsed Giuliani?
Giuliani is your guy, folks, and he sits out the first four races, and he said, What do you endorsing this?
Well, just hang on.
He's the guy.
Uh the candidate has to win the votes, folks.
A candidate of who's on the ballot, it isn't me.
And that's why all this talk that, well, you know, you're gonna see to it, McCain.
No, if McCain loses, it's gonna be McCain's problem, not me.
Not mine.
If he wins, same token.
Uh let's listen to Obama.
That's gonna sound like 22.
His uh some of his ex his is what would you call his speech last night in uh in San Antonio?
He got a little specific.
He started off with these platitudes of nothingness.
But then he got specific.
And what you discover, it's the same old stale, warmed over liberalism.
John McCain may claim long history of straight talk and independent thinking, and I respect that, but in this campaign, he has fallen in line behind the very same policies that have ill-served America.
It's the same course that offers the same tired answers to workers without health care and families without homes, to students in debt, and children who go to bed hungry in the richest nation on earth.
Four more years of tax breaks for the biggest corporations and the wealthiest few who don't need them and aren't even asking for them.
Well, we are here to say tonight that is not the America we believe in.
And this is not the future we want.
We want a new course for this country.
We want new leadership in Washington.
We want change in America.
And that's BS.
What Obama wants is more of the same stuff that gave us this litany of complaints that he cited.
He wants more of the same big government liberalism that makes everybody or as many people as possible miserable.
While under the guise of being compassionate, uh he's also said he's going to change America so that children who travel the world will be proud to say they are Americans.
If that child should ever get the chance to travel the world, and someone should ask her, where is she from?
We believe that she should always be able to hold her head high with pride in her voice when she answers, I am an American.
That is the course we seek.
That is the change we are calling for.
You can call it many things, but you can't call it empty.
You can sure call it stupid Barack.
Well, folks, as an individual, as a nation, you live your life to be liked by others.
You're dead.
You live your life to be liked by others.
You're letting them define who you are.
And this is what Obama wants.
He wants us to be liked by who?
Who already doesn't like us?
The people that don't like us ought not like us.
The tyrants, the dictators, and the thugs, of course they don't like us.
The Brits love us, the French love us, the Germans love us, a lot of people love us.
This is just more anti-American and typical liberal puke that's being re-wrapped here as some sort of never heard before magic.
And beauty when it's really nothing more than childish.
Now get this next one.
There's a young man on my campaign whose grandfather lives in Uganda.
He's 81 years old.
He has never experienced true democracy in his lifetime.
On the night of the Iowa caucuses, that 81-year-old man stayed up until five in the morning, huddled by his television, waiting for the results of an election on the other side of the world.
The world is watching what we do here.
Can we come together across party and region, race, and religion to restore prosperity and opportunity as the birthright of every American?
Can we send a message to all those weary travelers beyond our shores who long to be free from fear and want that the United States of America is and always will be the last best hope on earth.
We say, we hope, we believe.
Yes, we can.
Wow.
The Obama campaign reaching out to an 81-year-old Ugandan.
An 81-year-old Ugandan watching the Obama campaign in the election results in Iowa.
That's how we define America's greatness, ladies and gentlemen.
So Obama says a campaign's a good thing because an 81-year-old Ugandan guy huddled around his TV at five in the morning to look at the results.
Well, they may be watching in Uganda, but I'll bet they're also watching in Iraq.
I bet they're really worried while I watch in Iraq, too, because if Obama wins, their voting days in Iraq may be over.
or Because he will pull us out of there in Al Qaeda in Iraq will move in for the kill.
Joe in Indianapolis, I'm glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to our program.
Hi, sir.
Uh, we just wanted to call and tell you uh that you are uh you are absolutely correct in what you were saying about uh uh actually happened in Texas.
Uh you are a genius, which I'm sure you already know.
And uh all these people calling in and complaining about the fact that uh people were voting for the left and voting for the wrong person that she should be out by now.
Um don't really understand what you're trying to do.
I think you've made it pretty clear that of what you're what you're trying to do here.
Um you're trying to separate these these two people, trying to split that party so our guy at least has a shot because right now he has no chance at actually gaining some speed.
And I don't I guess I'm just kind of trying to figure out why people don't understand that.
It's not a hard concept.
I think it's because there's a and I understand this, by the way.
There is a after eight years, well, eight plus eight, after after sixteen years of the Clintons being on our front pages and being idolized by the drive-by media and told it that the the greatest things in slice bread.
Yeah.
People hate them and want any part of him anymore.
They want to that I I think there are a number of people who would be just as happy if Barack Obama became president if that meant Hillary Clinton was finished.
Along with Bill finished, and they see me.
They don't they don't see very far all they see is me keeping Hillary alive and the that's they they you don't understand they're people that detest these people.
Yeah.
Oh, I I totally, and I do too.
But I mean I I do too.
But we are in a war here, as you as you uh said so well, and that these people have been crapping on everything that we hold dear for so long, it's time that we finally actually did something about it.
They've been crapping on everything we hold dear and blaming us, you know, for not having any toilet paper.
You're exactly and I tell you, it i the the fact that it also irritates me that our guys have had no fight in them to fight back at them on the terms these people set.
I'm so sick of that, too.
It's just like, come on, guys, you are in office, do something about it.
Right.
This is not a hard concept.
We're gonna run an honorable campaign.
How many times do I just say it?
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, I appreciate that.
Sure.
Thanks much.
Uh fact, Mike, hang on here just a second.
What's your grab sound bite number two?
We haven't played this since the first hour.
Mrs. Clinton was on Fox news channel today.
Fox and friend Steve Ducey said to her, Well, here's the exchange.
Let me ask you about this.
Over the last week or so, Rush Limbaugh has been suggesting to his listeners, Republicans, conservatives mainly, to go ahead in Texas and Ohio to vote for you.
What's your message to Rush Limbaugh today?
Be careful what you wish for, Rush.
Is that it?
I think that's it.
Why not even any thanks.
Does this not go to show the uh lack of consideration, the manners?
She could have at least said thanks, but no, that sounded I didn't see this, so I didn't see the facial expression.
Now, Cookie told me she was smiling when she said that.
But if I didn't know better, why I could interpret that as a threat.
And don't think I don't, folks.
I know exactly where these people coming from where I'm concerned, and it's vice versa.
But people just have a tough time.
Um they want that house to fall down out of the sky.
They want those red slippers to shrivel up on the legs of the witch.
They just want this done with.
Even if that meant Obama as president, I understand that.
Uh Durham, North Carolina, Mike, thank you for waiting.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush, thank you for taking the call.
It's a great pleasure to speak to you.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I just have to tell you, uh once again, and and I don't need to tell you this, but you were so prescient and so right on the mark with this uh crossing over and voting for Hillary thing.
This is perfect.
This is exactly what we need, because the longer this goes on, the longer those two candidates have to sit there and basically beat on each other.
And it's exposing all the warts and especially the warts that Obama might have, because now they're gonna be forced to go and look for things on Obama and really go after him.
And that hasn't really been done at all.
And you nailed it again.
Uh McCain is certainly not going to do that.
He's proven that he is just not gonna go after him.
He can't.
So let's let's leave it up to the Clinton campaign to do it and and let him go after him.
Let him have Adam.
Right.
And this is not what the Democrat Party at large wants either.
You know, they they just should they they they're envious of where the Republican Party is or they they they wish they had this thing wrapped up now so they can start attacking McCain because they've got the money and he doesn't.
Well, it it's exactly it this is a if you recall what, six months or a year ago, this was supposed to be hers to lose, right?
I mean, she she was supposed to have no no problems with the inevitable, yeah.
It was a coronation, and now she finds herself in a position where she's bungled it to the point that she's in a fight for her life.
And the longer this goes on and the bloodier they both get, I think it's a great thing.
Uh it's a great thing for our side.
It really is.
Absolutely.
Somebody said to me earlier today, well, what about Florida Primary?
Oh, they'll redo it.
Everybody's on board.
I mean, Howard Dean says, yep, let's redo it.
Charlie Chris, the governor of Florida says, Let's redo it.
McCain might offer to pay for it to show his honor.
They show how every Democrat vote counts.
Uh get the you know, McCain might suggest Republican National Committee and the uh Florida Republican committee pay for the Democrat redo.
Oh yeah.
John Coleman, who founded the Weather Channel, wants to sue Al Gore on this whole business of global warming being a hoax.
I love John.
I I I love John Coleman ever since he used to be the weatherman of Good Morning America.
He was on Fox and Friends Today.
And uh Steve Steve Deuce said, Well, why should Al Gore be sued?
The whole backbone of the global warming science is what they call CO2 forcing.
This is carbon dioxide.
And they say that this little trace compound in the atmosphere, 38 molecules of carbon dioxide out of a hundred thousand molecules of atmosphere.
They say this little trace element puts the carbon in the air, that forces the water vapor to create this uncontrollable global warming that's going to bring this climatic catastrophe.
Right.
All right, that's what they claim.
Now, I don't believe that that's the way it works at all.
I see absolutely no evidence that CO2 carbon dioxide is causing any warm-up in temperatures.
I don't think it's happening.
I'm asking the question.
If Al Gore knows that CO2 forcing is invalid, isn't really happening.
Right.
And he goes ahead and sells these carbon credits for millions of dollars.
Is he committing financial fraud?
That is the question.
Uh Ducey says, Well, John, there's no disputing the temperature on a planet's gone up about one degree.
Steve, it's come down a degree.
The whole century gain was wiped out before recent temperature rating.
But here's what Coleman said.
I dispute that.
You do dispute that.
I think the whole statistics are somewhat questionable.
Where are they measuring this temperature?
Who's measuring it?
How are they handling the data?
The whole global warming thing is just a hyped scam.
Maybe over the last hundred years, the temperature on planet Earth went up by close to a degree or so.
That's not a big deal.
In the last twelve months, the climate on Earth has gone down by a default degree.
This has been the coldest winter in modern history.
Sure.
Global.
A men.
John Coleman, I love that guy.
Gotta take a brief time out.
We'll be back and uh continue here after this.
Keith in Princeton, New Jersey.
Got a 35 seconds here, but I wanted to get to you since you've been holding on.
Testing one two three.
Keith, are you there?
Yes.
Now let's make it quick.
It's honor.
Uh, I think if Hillary runs with Obama advice, it'll be a pay race between McCain.
I think if Obama gets the front runner, Hillary won't he won't choose Hillary because I think Hillary would undermine him the entire time.
What's your take on that?
Uh you don't think you don't think he would uh uh go VEEP.
No.
Uh he he would take the V, but he shouldn't choose Hillary because I think she'd undermine to get the power of being president.
Oh, oh yeah.
I I I if I were Obama, I would be very, very suspicious of Hillary being VEEP.
Undermining him from within, perhaps even leading the impeachment proceedings against him from the vice president's office down the road.
Oh, couldn't agree with you more on that, Keith.
Okay, remember, folks, I'm out of here tomorrow and Friday, but uh Jason Lewis is here.
