Time Text
You know, I still, I still can't get over, ladies and gentlemen, is John Corzine's story.
The governor of New Jersey.
He is a obviously he's a super delegate.
And he announced long ago his endorsement of Mrs. Clinton.
So he pops out there today and he says, you know what?
If she doesn't win the popular vote, I'm switching over, and I'm voting Obama.
And I'm saying, whoa, there's something about this that doesn't jive.
It's not just that apparently the Clintons don't have any enforcers anymore.
And it's it's it's not just the fact that, I mean, why say this?
Why come and say this?
If you're gonna do this, shut up, and you know, wait a little wait till the results are in and then go out there and make your move.
But to say this, to say long before this is resolved, if she doesn't win a popular vote, I'm I'm abandoning her, I'm going Obama.
You know what it means?
It means that the Democrat Party poo bahs obviously don't think the Clintons can even steal this.
That's how bad the situation is.
I really think, and you'll never get anybody in the Democrat Party to admit this, but it's right in front of our eyes.
We can see this.
I think the Democrat Party, and I've thought this for the longest time.
I think the Democrat Party is tired of these people, it fed up with these people, and wants to be rid of these people as the mafia leaders running their party.
I actually do.
Even if it means Obama loses, I think that they if to get rid of Hillary is something that um this party gets the Clinton's total is uh something that they've wanted to do.
The Associated Press today has one of the most syrupy stories, and it's about Jeremiah Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ.
A young Barack Obama searching for answers, perhaps a place to belong, when he decided to visit a fast-growing church recommended by friends.
What he heard left him in tears.
Oh no, poor baby.
The Reverend Jeremiah Wright preached that day about suffering, about the seemingly endless problems of the world and of individuals.
But he also talked about the importance of hope.
The audacity of believing things can be made better.
Hope is what saves us, Wright said.
Wrong Rev. Hope is an excuse for not doing anything.
That message moved Obama to embrace Trinity United Church of Christ along with its philosophy of translating faith into action.
But it's a side of right that has been overshadowed by his inflammatory remarks about everything from race relations to 9-11 attacks.
The furor over Wright's remarks has provoked the greatest crisis for Obama's presidential campaign thus far, but Obama has refused to leave Trinity or sever his ties with Wright.
Trinity is a predominantly black congregation in a mainline mostly white denomination, the United Church of Christ.
Its 8,000 members include politicians, doctors, lawyers, other leaders on Chicago's South Side, the rapper Common, the former director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, the former director of the State's Department of Professional Regulation, and at least one state representative are members of the church.
Oprah Winfrey has attended.
She quit.
She quit the church.
The church offers a long list of services, housing and employment programs for the preacher, scholarships, a ministry to people with HIV aids that mesh well with Obama's political philosophy.
This is a drive-by navel gazing.
The drive-bys are feeling guilty that they got sucked in to criticizing Reverend Wright, and so now it's time to go out, say we were wrong, and write a story about how this church is the best damn church that ever hit Chicago.
And we are so guilty and we feel so bad that we reamed this church and Reverend Wright.
So now they've gone and they found all the humanitarian aid, the wonderful things the church does.
It's the kiss and make up phase now.
Coordinated effort for the drive-bys to see to it that Reverend Wright nor this church no longer carry any baggage for Obama.
It is a long story.
I could keep reading it's uh another full page here.
Um talks about all the preachers that love the church and are big supporters of the church.
So they're uh drive-by's doing everything they can here to uh uh r uh get rid of anybody's impression left by Reverend Wright is Ah, this is a one of the most compassionate, the most supportive, the most humanitarian congregations in the history of churches in Chicago.
Moving on to the Associated Press and their treatment of John McCain.
Headline beer executive could be next First Lady.
And of course, the story here is that behind yet another presidential candidate is a rich wife.
Can you say Teresa Hines Carey?
On a spring day at a speedway in the South, McCain posed with his wife Cindy and racing star Dale Earnhardt Jr., highlighting the couple's political and business interests in a single snapshot.
McCain served as honorary starter of the NASCAR race that weekend in Charlotte.
Earnhart drove the Budweiser car, Budweiser, then NASCAR's official beer, is brewed by Anheuser Bush, whose products have made Cindy McCain and her family a fortune.
The brewer sold toy replicas of its race car to aid the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, publicized its support for the group on whose board McCain served, and whose chairman later endorsed him.
The Speedway appearance helped McCain court NASCAR voters and his campaign campaign circulated video of the event over the Internet.
As heiress to her father's stake in Hensley and Company of Phoenix, which is the distributorship.
Cindy McCain is an executive whose worth may exceed 100 million dollars.
Her beer earnings have afforded the GOP presidential nominee a wealthy lifestyle with a private jet and vacation homes at his disposal, and her connections helped him launch his political career, even if the millions remain in her name alone.
Yet the arm's length distance between McCain and his wife's assets also has helped shield him from conflict of interest problems.
Nearly 30 years before McCain became the Republican presidential nominee, he worked in PR at his wife's family's company.
Within a few years of marrying Cindy Hensley, the daughter of a multimillionaire Anheuser Busch distributor, McCain won his first election.
He was new to Arizona politics, fundraising in the 82 house race, and his campaign quickly fell into debt.
Personal money, tens of thousands of dollars in loans to his campaign from McCain bank accounts, helped him survive.
The story goes on.
McCain's campaign still taps Hensley's assets.
His presidential campaign paid at least $227,000 last year to an LLC in which his wife and children are invested.
King Aviation for use of its private jet, according to campaign finance reports.
Although Cindy McCain's business connections have benefited John McCain politically, they appear to have had little impact on his personal fortunes.
McCain is routinely ranked among the richest senators, but a prenuptial agreement has kept most assets in his wife's name.
That arrangement served as a defense for McCain when the Senate Ethics Committee scrutinized a real estate deal of Keating Five and so forth, involving his wife, her father, and uh Charles Keating, Jr.
McCain said at the time the separation of assets helped prove that the deal didn't benefit him.
In contrast to her husband, Cindy McCain is a millionaire many times over, though the McCain's haven't disclosed just how many times.
In government records, McCain is permitted to describe his wife's salary at Hensley as simply more than 1,000 dollars, and when listing her major assets, he only has to say that they're worth more than one million.
The report shows that Cindy McCain has at least $9 million in assets on her own, at least 15 million with the McCain children.
But those figures are virtually meaningless.
Her stake in Hensley alone almost certainly exceeds them by tens of millions of dollars.
Beverage industry analysts estimate Hensley's value at more than 250 million dollars.
Its annual sales at 300 million or more.
Hensley describes itself as a third largest Anheuser Busch wholesaler in the country.
It sold more than 23 million cases of beer last year, is among the nation's biggest beer distributors, regardless of brand.
So we have a contrast here.
We have got a total whitewash going now of the Trinity United Church of Christ, and now we have the portrayal of McCain as nobody and nothing without a rich wife feeding off of her income off of her assets over her family worth, flying around uncharted for private jets and so forth, while shielding his true wealth by saying it's none of my name.
However, while it's typical AP, and this, of course, is there gonna be more of this to come as we get to the general election.
Wasn't it yesterday at Annapolis, Maryland that Senator McCain made a speech in which he sort of criticized people who make easy money?
Didn't he sort of get real critical of people who are cynical and maybe don't have appreciation for what they have?
Could we say that Senator McCain would not have anywhere near this kind of wealth were he not married to his wife?
Could we have said the same thing about John Kerry, the haughty John Kerry?
So you see where the press, the drive bys, are headed with this.
And I'll tell you what it's gonna be.
McCain phony.
I didn't write the story.
You might be mad at me.
It's gonna be all over the place, folks.
You might even be mad at me for reporting it to you, but I didn't write it.
This is where we are headed.
A quick timeout, we'll be back and continue.
Don't go away.
It's the Rush Limbaugh program, and this is the EIB network, and we are doing open line Friday on Thursday today, 800-282-2882.
If you'd like to be on the program to Cincinnati, this is Alan.
I'm glad you called, sir.
It's great to have you here.
Hey, make it Russ.
Thank you.
I um got to tell you I'm a rush baby, and I'm doing my best to make sure that my kids are rushed babies as well.
Amen, bro.
Appreciate that.
Not a problem.
Um question, Rush, is basically.
I want to know why such a small minority of people like the environmental whackers can stop drilling and more.
They can stop us from making new refineries.
But issues like tax cuts and border security are clearly supported by the majority.
And for Norton by the people more.
What's the deal?
Uh, I'm gonna answer a question for you.
It's a it's a good question, and the answer is it's not such a small minority.
The environmentalist wackos, if you just take them and the Sierra Club and all these groups, they are not that that would be a more a minority in it.
And a lot, but that's not the problem.
The problem is politicians.
And politicians genuinely generally poll and focus group and find out what people want and give it to them.
That's how you stay elected.
That's what's so frustrating to people like us.
We want leadership.
We don't want people bending and shaping with the wind.
We want leadership.
We want somebody challenging Democrat liberal premises.
It's a cover story, a cover commentary of the latest limball letter is just off the presses today.
Stop accepting liberal premises.
But that's what we do.
Hey, look at you couldn't get the anwar vote uh defeated to drill an an war without some Republican votes.
Because Republicans are in districts where there are a lot of people who think oil is destroying the planet and that we're using too much of it.
This is the result of a 20 to 25 year campaign, and it has infected the minds of the American people.
Let me give you in a little story as an example here from the San Francisco Chronicle today.
They went out and they took a poll of people.
Californians support the idea of charging green vehicle fees that would make drivers of gas guzzlers pay higher taxes and offer discounts for those driving less polluting vehicles, according to a survey by a transportation researcher at San Jose State University.
The state of California charges driver's registration licensing fees and gasoline taxes at rates that do not take into account the pollution levels of vehicles.
But the survey, uh, a research associate with the um University of Maneta Transportation Institute, named after Leon Panetta, found that Californians would support a variety of taxes and fees to raise money for transportation improvements as well as combat global warming,
including raising vehicle registration fees, they now average $31 to an average of $62, doubling them, and having higher polluting vehicles pay higher rates and cleaner cars lower rates.
They also believe in uh levying a mileage-based tax that would replace the 18 cents per gallon gasoline tax.
The per mile amount would vary depending on how much a vehicle polluted the air.
The researcher at San Jose state the public is very supportive of these green taxes and fees.
This is how it's worked.
They have created all this guilt, and you've got people in San Francisco who think this have to be done or has to be done.
And when you have uh, you know, linguiny spine politicians who simply care about being re-elected and doing what rush, but Rush, that's uh that's what democracy is.
The people's the will of the people.
No, that's we are a representative republic.
We are not a full-fledged democracy.
We're not mob rule.
We're not simply majority rule.
We are a representative republic.
And the idea used to be we would elect leaders.
Leaders who might believe in their hearts that all of this is a giant hoax and a scam and would have the guts to stand up and say so and fight it.
We have precious few of those people around.
They might think it, but they don't have the gust to stand up and say it.
So we go along and we get this notion that all these things have to.
This is San Francisco.
I mean, this is California in general.
Don't forget the news out of LA yesterday, which was going to bump up uh similar registration fees and and uh the gasoline tax to nine cents uh a gallon and so forth, in addition to whatever price hikes are down the road just from the market forces.
Uh it's it's it's not a minority of people that are getting things done.
Uh it's not a it's not even a small minority of people that are getting things done.
Uh Washington Post today.
Washington Post in action on polar bear criticized.
Democrats blame the Department of Interior for delay in addressing climate change.
Now we got food prices skyrocketing out there.
We got energy prices skyrocketing out there.
We've got any number of problems that people are facing, and Senate Democrats yesterday spent a lot of time beating up George Bush for failure to meet a legal deadline for determining whether global warming is pushing polar bears toward extinction.
And uh and they lashed out at the uh scheduled star witness, the Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, for declining to appear in his own defense.
James Enhoff is one of these people that'll stand up, Senator's Moklahoma, and tell people that it's whole thing is a hoax and it's a ripoff, and it is nothing more than an attempt to expand government by virtue of raising taxes and limiting people's liberty.
James Inhoff said that the environmentalist Wikos are trying to use this act, the polar bear business, to achieve global warming policy that special interest groups can't otherwise achieve through the legislative process.
So you've got little kids watching Al Gore's movie, they go home, uh, and Mommy, mommy, mommy, polar bears, the polar bear, they're dying.
I saw a picture of going really polar bear, two polar bears, and I python, and just barely six feet, you can't jump, mommy, you're gonna jump.
And the you know, parents don't want their kids frightened like that, so they join the cause.
And this is not small minority.
That's why this is this is something that's gonna have to be fought day in and day out.
Uh I think, you know, there's progress on this.
Al Gore announces on 60 minutes a 300 million dollar initiative to really get people to believe what's going on.
What?
The movie didn't work, Al.
Guess the movie didn't have the impact everybody thought it was going to have.
So there is hope here, and there are a lot of scientists who are doing their best, but they get squelched, and they get they get uh impugned in the drive-by media when they when they speak up.
But I'm telling you, it's uh this is a thing about about democracies, representative republic.
Uh people generally get what they want.
The environmental has been well, this is a thing.
Liberals get hold of something and they don't stop.
Now, no matter how much of it they get, it's never enough.
They want to keep going.
This this this is traceable to 1980.
1980 to 1982, 83.
This is when the modern global warming movement began and it's been steady, and they just keep plodding away.
And here we are now 28 years later, 25 years later, and it's taken hold.
So we're, you know, we're accepting the premise and trying to refute it a little bit.
We should have stomped on it way back when.
By the way, here's something uh uh from a website call it TPM election central.
Senator Obama advisor asked top public relations firm to help Wright's church.
An interesting peek at some of what's going on behind the scenes in Chicago during the controversy over Jeremiah Wright, Greg Sargent's uh the uh the poster here on this blog.
I'm told that top Obama advisor David Axelrod privately tried to help Trinity with its raging PR problem by asking one of Chicago's top PR firms to go in and help the church deal with its PR mess.
Axarod confirms to me that amid the controversy, Trinity put out word it was overwhelmed by media calls and in need of help.
Axelrod confirms he called Jim Terman, the president of Jaskuka Turman and associates, a major Chicago PR outfit that specializes in crisis PR management for corporations and large institutions.
And it worked.
So they got a PR firm out there feeding the drive-by media is all this rot gut here about the great humanitarian works and all the ult misunderstood aspect of uh Reverend Wright.
And it gets that had to be a thousand words.
In um in that story, Steve in Gunthersville, Alabama, you're next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, Russ, you're doing a great job.
Thank you.
Listen, I just wanted to go over something very similar to what you just stated.
I'm amazed at how dumb the American public has come.
We tend to want to bra blame the White House on everything.
But actually the Congress is killing us.
They have 17.2 billion in earmarks and Social Security is going bankrupt.
I mean, we've got to vote these people out to have 200%.
Oh, yeah, wait, no, no, no, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
You misunderstand.
Oh.
Congress did uh issued a report uh uh late last week that there is no social security crisis.
It's been really overstated, no problem.
Oh, really?
I'm not kidding, they did.
Who was the name?
Who was what would you remember the name of social media?
There was there was a particular Democrat, uh, and I think it was uh from the Senate.
They say that a problem, no big deal.
Everybody, everybody's crisis mode about social security.
We don't have a problem.
Of course, they're on a different retirement system.
Uh of course they do, different retirement.
But you know, here's the point.
I don't care whether you get a social security problem or not.
Uh the one thing the American people don't want's earmarks, and uh, and and both parties, you know, are doing nothing.
They have no desire to stop them.
Uh this is that's why I have to laugh when I hear these guys constantly talk about budget cuts and deficit spending, all these other um, all these other things.
And by the way, another thing, Steve, it's not the American people are dumb.
It's not that.
Is where Senator McCain was wrong yesterday.
The American people aren't dumb.
What what is happening here is and has been for much longer than this radio show's been around, a constant daily bombardment from the government and from the media of pure unadulterated liberalism.
And they just you know, a lot of people sit around and over 20 years of a bombardment watching television every day and every it's you're gonna soak some of it up.
You're gonna start to believe it.
And then if your friends believe it, you want to, you know, no nobody wants to argue with their friends.
Uh and then you couple it with the fact that a lot of people uh, you know, want their lives to have meaning, and all these liberal causes, supporting them can make people think their lives are gonna mean something.
Uh liberals are, you know, they're they're very smart about this and they're patient.
Because they're content to dominate news cycles, set the agenda, and as long as it takes, they're still controlling everything because there's not a political party around that's refuting the agenda or the premise.
That's that's what I keep I I wish there were somebody besides Ronald Reagan that I could I could return to and cite as an example of how you fight and beat these people.
And since it's such a great example, why our party has no design replicating It has been something that confounds me.
I understand it, but it's still it confounds me.
I don't agree with it, don't misunderstand, but it just it confounds me.
Lee Atwater was one too.
Lee Atwater refused to accept the agenda and the premise of it just went out there and he was it was a political war and he was out to destroy them politically, and he did, and they hated him.
And they they despise it.
We got too many people on our side and want to be liked by these people.
Peaceers.
And uh and and so forth.
But I mean if if nobody's gonna reject the premise on any issue that liberals put forth, uh then we're you know, all we're gonna be doing, all we're gonna be doing.
It's like Mr. Buckley said way back early in his career.
He had this phrase Standing athwart history and saying stop.
Meaning we put the brakes on it for a while, but we never get control of the agenda ourselves and start advancing it.
That's what everybody wants, and for that you need leadership.
And it just isn't there.
Now we have to do what we have to do, and right now stopping them is what we have to do.
Stopping global warming, stopping the premise of man-made global warming, establishing that as a hoax.
But then what do we do after we stop it?
If we succeed in stopping it, what do we do?
Well, then we generally okay, we declare victory and we move on to the next liberal premise and try to stop it.
They don't give up.
They'll try it on an end around.
Illegal immigration amnesty, a great example.
We stop that cold, the whole thing.
Meaningful comprehensive immigration reform.
We stopped it.
And so Congress wised up and they start doing little incremental things like the S chip program, sneak a little ill little immigration amnesty in there, uh other little pieces of legislation.
Uh they just keep going, folks.
They're energizer bunnies.
And we just, you know, the right now we're in a mode where we just had stop them.
Stand athwart history and shout, stop.
Uh it'd be so wonderful to be in charge of the ag in control of the agenda, and bombarding the American people every day with our beliefs.
Uh I'm not looking, not trying to depress you.
I'm, as you know, I'm optimistic.
If we don't give up the fight, we're gonna eventually prevail.
And it's gonna go on long after we're we're gone, but your kids and grandkids are gonna be around as uh either beneficiaries or victims of whatever happens today as we uh battle these issues ourselves, so it's it's always gonna be an ongoing thing.
Uh who's next?
Hain in Mount Shasta, California.
This is where the giant harmonic convergence was back in the uh eighties.
Uh hello, Hain, nice to have you with us.
Hello, Rush.
This is Wayne, I'm sorry I had my did have my glasses on the W here on our 1970s computer looks like an H. No problem.
Yeah, speaking of California politicians and fees, uh I got blindsided uh on Thurs last Thursday when I received my registration fee for my ATV.
They the uh the fee had gone up one hundred percent.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait just a second.
Uh for those of you in the Northeast, uh ATV is all terrain vehicle.
Okay, continue there, Wayne.
So I was a little perturbed.
I called DMB and I said, hey, what's this?
I got a 100% increase in my fee.
And he said, Yes, uh, the California legislature approved the uh rate hike.
So I called uh my state senator who said that Hey, Wayne, Wayne, t put speak right into the phone.
Sounds like you got your hand over the uh microphone on your phone.
Okay.
Is that better?
Much better, yeah.
Thank you.
Um I called the state senator, and I was told that uh DMV raises the fees and that the legislature has nothing to do with it, which I know is not right, and that she did not know how my state senator voted on it.
I called my state assemblyman and was told that the person told me that she did not know how the assemblyman voted on it, but he probably voted against the the rate hike.
So I called the governor's office, and the governor's spokesman told me that he did not know how the governor voted on it, but blamed the Democrats because they control the legislature out here.
So in any event, uh California fees keep going up, and the buck keeps getting passed, and nobody will admit they won't even tell you how they voted on it or what their stance on these tax uh uh hikes are out here.
And you're surprised by this?
Uh not anymore.
Good.
Remember, you all this is being you're just supposed to be an overgravity ankles.
You you people that drive these ATVs.
I mean, you know how dangerous they are.
Those things can roll over, it could kill you and your kids and so forth.
They pollute and so you gotta pay the price for global warming, Wayne.
You gotta pay it.
I I was told that it was all off-road vehicles.
Now it encompasses, you know, I think motorcycles and and uh those uh boats, those I forget what they call them.
Same thing.
Yeah.
Big time polluters, not necessary for people to get to work and to the grocery store and back.
You don't need that ATV.
You don't need an off-road vehicle, a motorcycle.
If you want one and have one by gut, you're gonna pay for it because that extra vehicle is making a bigger carbon footprint.
I know how these people think.
Yeah.
And you're not you're of course you're not gonna find any accountability.
And probably they figure that if you own one, you're rich and you uh should pay the extra fees anyway.
There's all of that.
But I'll tell you what's gonna happen.
Uh, especially with this new proposal that I see that this researcher I just mentioned that's in the chronicle today, the San Francisco Chronicle, uh, raising registration fees, and then getting into a a uh sort of a two-tiered or three-tiered tax plan based on the kind of car you drive.
They're gonna raise taxes on the gas guzzlers, they're gonna reduce gas taxes on the uh what are called environmentally safe uh non polluting cars.
This is gonna affect their tax rate income.
It's probably it it's if it doesn't go up, is like when they raised gas uh when the gas price went up, and the state was urging people to drive less, save the planet, drive less, be more economical.
People like sheep did what the state said.
And it didn't take long for the state to realize hey, our gas tax revenue is plummeting here.
And so they raised gas taxes to make up for people following orders to drive less and go buy more economical cars.
So the bottom line is when you have a state government like yours in California, Wayne, which is run by liberal democrats, you can make book on the fact that your government expenses taxes are going to go up every year, regardless what you do to reduce them.
If you follow your orders to drive less, if you got rid of your off-road vehicle, a lot of other people did too, they would lose the tax revenue associated with it.
They would raise taxes on the remaining vehicles.
You live in a state totally run right now by liberals, including the governor.
And I don't know what you can do.
This is just it's just it's a fact of life for everybody that lives in states and cities totally run by liberals.
Now you look at the cities in this country that have been run by liberals for decades.
You wouldn't want to live there.
They are an absolute mess.
The schools are a mess.
Jobs are being lost at an at a at a rapid rate.
Uh it's it's just frustrating.
The evidence of not just the failure, but the damage that liberalism does to people is just all over the place.
And yet they don't win a whole lot of that's they ought not even exist is the point.
They ought to be so discredited, they don't exist.
And welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
Talon.
New York Times today.
Scientists say they have pinpointed a genetic link that makes people more likely to become hooked on tobacco, causing them to smoke more cigarettes, making it harder to quit, and leading more often to deadly lung cancer.
The discovery by three separate teams of scientists makes the strongest case so far for the biological underpinnings of the addiction of smoking.
Sheds light on how genetics and cigarettes join forces to cause cancer experts said.
The findings also lay the groundwork for more tailored treatments to quit smoking.
A smoker who inherits this genetic variation from both parents has an eighty percent greater chance of lung cancer than a smoker without the variants.
Free studies financed by governments in the U.S. and Europe are published uh today in the journals of nature and nature genetics.
You know, it isn't gonna be long before it's not our fault.
Not our fault.
Not your smoking, not your fault.
Right around the corner.
Victim.
You know, nicotine is the most addictive drug around.
You disagree with this?
You disagree with this?
Some people think, well, right here, what are we talking about?
I mean, could have you ever seen somebody take crystal meth?
I mean, you see, see, they're spiking some of these drugs that they're giving these kids out there today.
I mean, it's just.
Yeah.
Learned a little bit about this.
Try this, though.
Every drug that people take that it's a mind altering drug, the experience is usually pretty pleasant, is it not?
Ooh, wow, I've never felt this way before.
No one, no one has a pleasant first experience with nicotine.
You ever seen some kid be the take his first drag of a cigarette?
And go right on smoking.
That's pretty powerful drug.
Nobody, I can see Dawn and the other season think I know what I'm talking about.
But it is the only drug I know of that people do not have a pleasant first experience with, and they just they uh they stay with it.
Regardless.
Whether it's the most powerful or not, it's uh it's very close.
Who's next?
This is Harry in Anderson, South Carolina.
Hi, Ari, uh, nice to have you with us.
Thank you, Russ.
Russ, uh, I'm an initial subscriber to the Limbaugh Letter.
That'd be a charter subscriber out there, yeah.
Yes, yes, I am.
I I want to compliment you on its equ increase in content and volume.
I remember when it was a four-page thing.
But Russ, uh, I also subscribed to the military magazine, I'm a World War II vet.
In February issue, there was an article about how we spent 50 billion, that's a B billion dollars since 1990, and found no human cause for climate change.
The uh Palio, I don't know, P-A-E-E-O-Climate scientists stating this is Bob Backer.
So, you know, uh that's a lot of money we spent, and yet uh it's finding is being depressed.
And I just heard what you what you're saying is uh on this uh last uh time.
Yeah, but see, uh you could have that finding publicized.
You could have that finding put on the Associated Press.
It could be the lead story of the nightly newscast tonight.
Fifty billion dollars spent since 1990, no man-made cause for global warming has been found.
They'd run to Al Gore or some other global warming proponent.
You know what they would say?
We've never said that there is direct evidence that we think and we can't afford to be wrong.
We can't afford, we have to take steps now.
If we don't, 30 to 40 years from now, we're all gonna be turned into cannibals.
There's ways around it.
That's that's why nobody will come out and say something that the wackos do, but uh that's why the 34-year variant, 30 or 40 year variant.
I gotta run here.
All right, that's it, folks.
I'll be off tomorrow.
Mark Davis from our Blowporch of Blowtorch Affiliate, the Dallas Metroplex, Mark Davis will be here.
Be back next Monday, revved up, ready to go, ready to clean up all the messes made since my absence today.
