Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying.
And that's because we are oriented toward finding the truth, a daily, relentless, unstoppable pursuit of the truth.
We find it.
We declare it.
You need courage to listen to this program and face the truth, because if you can't, you will go bonkers.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
And you know the rules on Open Line Friday.
Whatever you wish to discuss, feel free, ladies and gentlemen, Monday through Thursday.
This program is about what I care about, what interests me.
On Thursday, or Friday, rather, we open it up.
And whatever you wish to discuss or ask about is fair game.
It's a golden opportunity, folks, for you.
I mean, because everybody thinks they can do this better than I can.
This is a day for you to show it.
802 hair to try anyway.
800 snurdly is rolling his eyes.
It just made his job more difficult today.
Is that what you're rolling your eyes about?

Bill Clinton in Fayetteville, West Virginia yesterday got into an argument with a member of the audience.
The audience member is an Obama supporter named Ruth Calibra.
And the argument, we join the argument in progress here.
It is an argument over claims made by Hillary Clinton that she improved health care during Bill's administration.
Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute, ma'am.
We had rallies all over this country.
She worked 40 elections.
No, you're wrong.
You're wrong.
Wait a minute.
I can't believe you're saying this.
There are millions of pages of documents that we have released showing the exhausting work that was done, the tens of thousands of people who were consulted, the rallies and movements we had all over the country.
Now, wait a minute, I'll listen to you.
You interrupted my speech.
You let me talk, will you?
You interrupted my speech.
You interrupted my speech.
Now, let's just say, wait a minute.
There's nobody in America that's got more credibility.
And for you or any other person to claim she didn't work on it is the craziest thing I ever heard.
With us opposing her for doubts that we worked our hearts out.
And let me just give you another example.
The other day we were in South Texas, or Hillary was, and all the doctors asked to meet with her.
This is amazing because, do you remember, I don't know, it was not that long ago, a month, maybe six weeks, Clinton was out there saying she had nothing to do with health care because everybody was talking about how nothing got done.
And healthcare was responsible for losing the house, one of the reasons why.
And so he took to blame for it.
Clinton was out there trying to be chivalrous.
What are you doing with your hair?
You are distracting me.
You've got rubber bands.
You're putting hair braids in there.
What are you pulling on your hair?
What are you doing?
Is it all tangled up?
Well, put it up during commercial break for crying out loud.
I'm looking like you're looking like you're trying to yank your hair out in there.
I'm in the middle of trying to do broadcast excellence.
I interrupted a monologue here, just like this Obama supporter interrupted Clinton talking about how his wife did everything on health care.
Anyway, Clinton's out there saying, look, I got to tell you the truth about this.
She didn't do anything on healthcare.
That was my doing.
I'm the one that bobbled down.
He was trying to be chivalrous.
So now this Obama supporter comes up and challenges it.
He's out there singing her praise of all she did for healthcare.
He's talking about all that exhausting work.
We had rallies and meetings all over the country.
That's the bus trip.
And we shut that down.
We shut this with a Healthcare Express or something like that.
It started out in Seattle and there's a whole bunch of buses with Hillary on them.
And we got advanced notice where those buses were headed.
They think we tampered with this election.
We destroyed the Healthcare Express back in 1993.
I mean, they had to take detours.
They had to take detours and skip some of the little towns they were going to because we had people lining up waiting for them.
The buses would pull in and the booze would start.
As soon as the doors opened, it was a hoot.
People have forgotten all this.
So they finally, the drive-bys caught up with the woman that was arguing with Clinton in Fayetteville, West Virginia.
The name is Ruth Calibra.
And here's a part of that exchange.
I was talking about healthcare, and I said that I remember, okay, that she campaigned like crazy for health care.
She went into the White House two weeks after that.
She never emerged and worked for health care.
He tried to deny that, okay, but I remember that.
What did you think when he said that that was crazy?
Well, of course he was going to say that.
But I remember it for a fact.
Okay, so I don't know what else to say about it.
Okay.
Is that they promised and they didn't deliver.
So her complaint is that they're trying to take credit for caring about people with health care and so forth, but the whole thing was botched, no matter who did it or who's taking credit for it.
And, you know, she was trying to say to Clinton during his speech, you guys didn't get anything done.
Hillary got nothing done.
She went in there and got nothing done.
Now, Clinton a month ago agreed with that.
It was him that didn't get anything done.
But now he said, the hundreds of thousands of people in documents and meetings and rallies is we did everything we, you shut up now.
I've done this in my speech.
So anyway, just it's just the Clinton's never had this happen to them.
They never had infiltrators get in their press conferences or their campaign events or hearings.
Now, Obama, Obama has thrown down the gauntlet.
Last night, CNN situation remained with Wolf Blitzer.
And Blitzer says, McCain says this, for example, I think it's very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States.
I think that people should understand that I will be Hamas' worst nightmare.
Senator Obama is favored by Hamas.
I think people can make judgments accordingly.
This is offensive.
And I think it's disappointing because John McCain always says, well, I'm not going to run that kind of politics.
And then to engage in that kind of smear, I think, is unfortunate, particularly since my policy towards Hamas has been no different than his.
For him to toss out comments like that, I think is an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination.
Ooh, do you know how to translate that, ladies and gentlemen?
Do you know what losing his bearings means?
It means he's an old codger who is nuts, maybe on the verge of senility.
That's how you translate that.
But here's the truth of this, because I, ladies and gentlemen, want to come to the defense of Senator McCain.
Limboy, no, no, don't do it.
Don't come to my defense.
It'll hurt me.
I have to, Senator.
I have to.
Because the Hamas guys did say that they would love to see Obama be elected president, that it reminded them of JFK, that Obama reminded him of JFK, and Obama accepted the compliment.
This is what we were talking about in the previous hour.
So Obama has accepted the praise from the Hamas leader, thanked him for it.
McCain simply says, wow, that's pretty good.
I'll comment on that.
Very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president.
Obama comes along and totally smears McCain for engaging in dirty politics.
Now, this is precisely the point.
This is how messiahs operate.
Messiahs can say and do whatever they want if you call them on what they've said or if you remind people of what they've said.
Yesterday, the definition of an attack on a Democrat is to tell the truth about them.
The drive-bys, the media, the Democrats have defined attacks on Democrats as telling the truth about us.
That's all McCain did here.
He simply told us, so it's okay.
It's okay for Obama.
In fact, it's okay for Hamas to say they love Obama.
It's okay for Obama to say thanks to Hamas.
It's not okay for McCain to point it out.
When McCain points it out, he becomes an old guy losing his bearings.
And he said he wasn't going to campaign like this, said he wasn't going to engage in this kind of politics.
I am so sad to see Senator McCain losing his bearings like this.
And of course, McCain's sitting out there probably head spinning, trying to figure out how to deal with this.
Because in all of this, McCain thinks he's running an honorable campaign.
So he's running an honorable campaign.
Here's Obama calling him an old fogey that doesn't know which way is which and saying he's engaged in smear politics, which is the way the Democrats have defined it.
I did.
I know.
I warned them.
I told the McCain camp yesterday, and I've told him a number of times they have no clue what's coming their way.
They really don't.
This and this is nothing.
This is zilch compared to what's going to be fired at McCain once we get to the general.
Brief timeout here, folks.
Phone calls next to lots of other stuff on tap today as Open Line Friday continues after this.
You know, this business here that Obama says of McCain, hey, that's gunner politics.
That's smear politics.
I can't believe he's lost his bearings to the point that he would say that about me and Hamas.
When in fact, it was David Axelrod, his campaign guy, who thanked Hamas, supported Hamas for their endorsement of Obama and talked about how appreciative they were and perceptive Hamas was, that Obama reminds them of JFK in 1960.
Of course, there's no comparison whatsoever.
JFK had tons more experience than Obama has at this stage of his career, but it's no different.
The whole thing's no different than his middle name.
Can't say Hussein, can't say Barack Hussein Obama.
He doesn't want that middle name mentioned, and so we're not supposed to do that.
And we can't call him a liberal.
No, no, no, no.
Not supposed to call Obama liberal.
That's an attack.
Using his middle name is an attack.
And now reminding people of the Hamas endorsement.
Why, that's an attack.
That's dirty politics.
And this is how messiahs operate.
Everything's off limits.
The Messiah can say whatever he wants, do whatever he wants, go wherever he wants, see whoever he wants.
You comment on anything he's done, said, been, or seen, and you are engaging in dirty politics.
And the drive-by's right there to support him on it because they're in the tank for him.
Back to the phones.
Mike in Atlanta, glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you for taking my call, Rush.
Greetings from the Peach State.
Rush, you were talking earlier about the month of April last month, the average temperature being the coldest on record in 114, you know, the 29th coldest in 114 years.
It made me wonder, and now as I've waited to talk to you, it's actually gotten me worried.
What are the dire predictions for global cooling?
There are no dire predictions for global cooling.
And in fact, the objective of global warming and the objective of the global warming monikers is to stop the warming, and that is to cause cooling.
And of course, this is ostensibly, it's supposed to be good.
But there are nothing negative here about global cooling whatsoever, other than perhaps a new ice age.
Well, that was my concern.
Are we headed toward an ice age now?
Who knows?
There are a lot of people who think that we're headed for a mini-ice age, that we're headed for a profound period of cooling.
And in fact, even the global warming believers, all these scientists involved in their consensus supporting the hoax.
And I mentioned this the other day, just to remind you, they found something.
They found currents in both the Atlantic and the Pacific, which are going to cool the planet for the next 10 to 12 years and delay the onset of global warming.
But after that, after these 10 to 12 years, look out because it's going to start sizzling again.
Now, they couldn't explain why all of a sudden this unstoppable warming is going to be arrested for 10 to 12 years.
They chalked it up to natural climate variations.
And of course, these are ocean currents.
One of them is La Nina.
I don't know what it is in the Atlantic.
But they're concerned.
Some of the pro-global warming people, they're looking at their little models.
They're not even looking at models in this case.
They're looking at actuals.
They can see these temperatures the same as you and I.
And so they've got to do something because it's not going to do what they say it's going to do in the next 10 years, which is why they're very cagey and smart.
Talk about the next 50 years, next 60 years.
None of us are going to be alive to see whether these people are right or not.
But they still want us to engage in policies that would wreck this economy in order to fix something that isn't happening.
So now this cooling has come along.
Oops.
Well, natural variations.
Natural climate variations.
Isn't that interesting?
If natural climate...
Now, folks, I know this is common sense to you and me, because you and me, we know that all these climate occurrences are natural.
And not one of them is artificial.
So, meaning we're not causing it.
We couldn't cause it if we wanted to.
Can we make it cooler when it's burning hot out there?
Can we make it warmer when we're freezing our tushes in the way?
We can't do this.
So there are natural climate variations that are cooling the planet right now.
This is the Earth taking care of what man is doing to her.
Well, if there are natural climate variations that can cool the planet, why can't there be natural climate variations that warm the planet?
Well, obviously there can be.
Now, I had an interview with our official climatologist, Roy Spencer, on the phone on Tuesday afternoon for the upcoming issue of the Limbaugh Letter.
By the way, the upcoming issue of the Limbaugh Letter is about oil, and it is a brilliant, brilliant issue.
And it'll be next months.
But in talking to Dr. Spencer, I said, Dr. Spencer, I asked him, he's a scientist, used to be at NASA, now he's University of Huntsville, Alabama, or Alabama and Huntsville.
And I said, what's the best, your man of science, what's the best way to combat this in terms of changing the minds and hearts of the American people?
His first answer to me was, I don't think we're going to have to do anything.
I think the next seven to 10 years are going to show that we're not warming, and in fact, maybe cooling.
And the global warming crowd is going to be discredited in and of itself.
And I said, well, that's nice if that happens, but I don't think they're going to allow that to happen.
I think they're going to portray anything that happens in climate as a result of global warming.
And they're going to say these next 10 to 12 years of cooling are simply the earth compensating for the attempt to destroy the planet by man.
But at some point, the earth will lose the competition between nature and man.
And I said, Dr. Spencer, I want to illustrate something for you.
Take Stephen Hawking.
Listen to the smartest man on the planet, whoever it is, let's just say it's Stephen Hawking, okay?
And let's take Stephen Hawking off the earth.
Let's put him somewhere else in the universe.
And there is no Earth.
And we say this to Dr. Hawking, Dr. Hawking, I want you to create the climate of the planet Earth that God is going to create.
I want you to put all of the systems in it.
I want you to account for all the complexity.
I want you to populate it.
And Dr. Spencer said, well, it's a good illustration.
It's impossible.
Precisely, it's impossible.
There's not a human being alive who, if given a chalkboard or a computer, could sit down and put together the mathematics and whatever else is necessary to create this climate.
So on what basis do the hell we think we can change it?
So much of this is just common sense, but to understand the global warming hoax, I am convinced one has to have a more than rudimentary understanding of liberalism.
One has to be willing, open-mindedly to accept that science has been corrupted by politics.
Science is not pure.
We've always thought that it was.
We've always thought that science was immune to political and ideological concerns, but it isn't.
In fact, science has now become, quote-unquote science, has become a home for displaced socialists and communists to advance their agenda of anti-capitalism wherever they can.
A lot of people don't want to believe that.
See, I try to approach it on a common sense basis.
Oh, yeah, we can destroy the planet, right?
Driving our cars.
Have you seen the pictures of this volcano eruption?
Where was this?
Where did this volcano erupt?
Chile.
You're the one in Chile.
Have you seen the pictures of this volcano?
Have you seen the amount of ash that was spewed into the sky from this volcano?
I have to take a break.
I'm going to make my point.
We come back after an obscene profit timeout.
Don't go away.
A man, a living legend, a way of life.
Learn it.
Love it.
Live it.
Rush Limbaugh with talent on loan from God on Open Line Friday.
On the 7th of May, a couple of days ago, the UK Daily Mail published some color pictures of the aftermath of the eruption of the volcano in southern Chile.
Now, I think this eruption was the first in 100 years or some such thing.
These pictures are amazing.
And I'm not talking about just the pictures of the ash, but I want to Coco go get this story, put it on the website later tonight when we update to reflect the contents of today's program so you can see these pictures.
Let me just, I wish I could describe them.
I've never seen anything like this.
The amount of ash that was spewed into the atmosphere would dwarf the amount of pollution the United States automobile industry has created since the invention of the automobile.
And I say this in the context of there is not a human being on this planet who could be teleported somewhere else in the universe, earth wiped out, and this smart human being says, okay, recreate it.
Here's your chalkboard.
Here's your computer.
Here's the software.
You go design just the climate.
I'll handle everything else, God says.
You just, you do the climate.
Folks, there is not enough knowledge.
There is not enough understanding.
It could not be done.
And of course, this is obvious.
I'm not trying to be profound here.
The reason I bring it up is there is no way on earth we could create this.
There isn't a way we can change it.
We can adapt.
And see, this is the key.
Every living thing adapts to its environment in order to survive.
Take human beings, for example.
We don't do well without clothes, right?
Especially when it gets cold.
Well, in certain circumstances, yeah, clothes come off.
But I mean, talking just normal, everyday running around activities.
You live in Minnesota in the wintertime, you need clothes.
All right, where do you get them?
You have to adapt, right?
I mean, you don't, the clothing store just didn't spring up there.
It's not part of God's creation, is it?
Well, yes, it is, but no, the fabrics, the leathers, the shoes, where did those things come from?
Other living things.
We had to kill them for our own survival.
It's called adapting.
A beaver, the rodent beaver, destroys, talk, talk to anybody who's had problems with beavers in the backyard or wherever they have problems with them.
They gum up the works because they build dams.
They screw everything up.
They're adapting.
They're just trying to survive.
Cockroaches, you hate them.
They're underneath your sink.
Sprayers like the Clintons, not even nuclear war could get rid of them.
They survive by adapting.
Every living thing adapts.
Okay, so when the colonists first arrived and we got things going, there were 13 colonies.
But there was a whole country out there that the Indians were in charge of, supposedly at one with nature, wiping out the buffalo, smoking the peace pipe, at war with each other's nations.
Who knows whatever else they were doing out there?
But they too, at one with nature, what do you think a TP was made out of?
I mean, they had to do something.
They had to cut trees for fires, stay warm in the winter.
Everybody adapts.
Now, we as human beings, blessed with a superior intelligence, have the understanding, the knowledge to be stewards over this because we need to continue to have these items that we alter for our survival as our population grows.
For example, trees.
The most beautiful thing you do with a tree is after you chop the thing down, you build a house out of it.
You build a baseball bat.
You build a gorgeous Steinway piano.
Broomstick.
Any number of things.
But guess what?
As the population grows and prosperity increases, you're going to need more broomsticks.
Going to need more houses.
You're going to need more of everything.
So replant the trees.
For every tree you cut down, plant 10 for one.
We're not destroying anything, but we're adapting.
It happens throughout life.
Everything in life adapts.
If it doesn't adapt, it won't survive.
But the beaver doesn't care what it destroys because it doesn't have the ability to know.
No other living organism has the slightest idea.
The cuckoo bird.
Cuckoo bird's so damn lazy, it won't even build its own nest.
It lays its eggs in the nests of others and then flies off in the hole with the babies.
Going out and making more eggs, you know how they do that.
The point is we all have to adapt.
The people in Chile, they didn't cause the volcano.
They're going to have to adapt.
They're going to have to move.
They're going to have to do something because they can't stop the volcano.
So to tie all this together, this ash, this stuff that was belched out of that volcano in Chile, has more pollution.
You wait and see what the cooling effect of this cloud of ash is going to cause wherever it ends up on this planet, wherever it hovers.
Mount Pinatubo did the same thing.
Mount Pinetubo, that was in the Philippines when that thing blew up.
The Earth's temperature was cooled for a long time, a long number of years.
Of course, the environmentalist Michael says, well, yes, well, that was simply Mother Nature responding to the destructive efforts of man.
B.S. The hurricane and the Mount Pinatubo volcano nor this thing in Chile has any idea what man is or where man is or what man's doing.
It doesn't have a mind of its own.
So we can't create any of this.
We couldn't if we were given all the ingredients.
We couldn't do it.
We couldn't put it together.
If God said, here is everything I did to make your climate.
Now you put it together so it works.
No clue.
We couldn't do it.
We'll never be able to do it.
And yet, we have the vanity and the audacity of hope to think that we can change it and roll it back and stop it.
And then out of the clear blue, I'll take it, 1984.
I'm watching in Sacramento.
I'm watching TV this week with David Brinkley.
Some guy named OpenAm.
I've told you this story before.
A couple global warming scientists on there, and they're just sounding the death knell for the planet.
We only got 20 years, they said.
We can't prove our contention that man-made global warming is happening, but we think it is, but we can't afford to wait.
20 years is all we got.
If we don't take action now, it's going to be too late.
1984, it's 24 years later, right?
And they're still saying the same thing.
And we just had the coldest April in 119 years.
The planet has not warmed in the last seven years.
They just told us that there's going to be a natural cooling cycle because the ocean currents in the Atlantic and Pacific is going to delay global warming for 10 to 12 years.
I mean, it's going to get cooler.
And now this hurricane, pardon, this volcano's blown up down there in Chile.
You ought to see the pictures.
We're going to post them.
Let me give you the caption to one of these pictures.
You know, one of the things I like living about Florida, particularly in the summertime, you go out at night, it's hot, it's humid.
And you go out there on your deck and it's dark.
Crystal clear where we live, but way out over the ocean at high altitude is the most beautiful electrical thunderstorm.
And sometimes far enough away, you can't hear the thunder, but you can see the clouds light up.
And you just sit there in wonder and amazement.
And you sip your adult beverage while sweating yourself silly and it's a little breeze coming off the ocean and it's just gorgeous.
And you remember what your father told you about thunderstorms.
If there's more power in one thunderstorm, one lightning bolt, we could harness it.
We could provide electricity for New York for a year.
Big lightning, big thunderstorm.
We don't know how to harness it because we don't know how to create it.
And when these thunderstorms are coming and the lightning's raining, we can't stop it.
Maybe put some lightning arrestors on, but that's it.
I have never seen an electrical thunderstorm out over the ocean like I see in these pictures.
This astonishing picture shows the volcano in Chile erupting during storms in the middle of the night.
The electrical storms that they were having, the volcano went up.
The volcano caused even more electricity, more lightning.
As clouds of toxic ash and dust tower into the sky, they ionize the air, generating an explosive electrical storm.
Colossal forks of lightning spark around the noxious plume as it spews from the volcano's crater, creating an image of raw, terrifying energy as if the air itself were ablaze.
Daily Mail, UK Daily Mail from May the 7th, we'll get this posted.
There's two of these pictures that illustrate this effect, and then there's just a bunch of them that show the amount of ash and how thick the cloud is.
So next time you hear, and by the way, one other observation.
For those of you buying into this silly, compact fluorescent light bulb scheme, when you look at these pictures from the UK Daily Mail, I want you to try to convince yourself that the type of light bulb you matter, you use matters a hill of beans to anything.
When you look at the raw power, I want you to, and then after you do that, after you ask yourself, after you tell yourself how worthless, how irrelevant, I should say, the kind of light bulb you use is, I then want to ask you, are you one of these people that's bought into this silly notion to unplug your toaster and all of your electronic appliances when you're not using them?
You might want to do that, save electricity, that's fine.
But if you're doing it to save the planet, I want you to take a look at these pictures and ask yourself if unplugging your sunbeam toaster, your Mr. Coffee, your cell phone charger, will matter a hill of beans to the climate of this planet.
And if you answer yes, you have a serious vanity problem.
Or worse, your life is meaningless and you'll be talked into any scheme or hoax to believe in in order to make you think your life has a purpose, such as saving the planet.
You're simply helping a bunch of socialists tear down the greatest capitalist system on the face of the planet if you go along with this rot gut garbage.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, Open Line Friday.
Here's another little story for you.
This is from the American thinker Bill Tate.
Has big media global warming bias begun to endanger the public?
Damn good question.
When Maine officials tried to warn residents of the dangers of this winter's near-record snowpack, big media slanted the story, hampering efforts to warn people of the danger.
This winter's near-record snowfall has created a flood potential.
It's above normal, began a news advisory released by the Maine Riverflow Advisor Commission on March 6th.
Statewide water content readings from this week's snow survey are some of the highest since 1969, the snow season of record, and in some locations higher than the record.
In case there was any doubt, the banner headline on the release says, spring flood potential elevated due to near-record snowfall.
However, the lead in the Associated Press story in the next day's edition of the major regional daily, the Boston Globe, downplayed the threat posed by the snowpack, referring to it as just above average and shifting the emphasis to concern about an approaching storm.
The National Weather Service says weekend rain could cause some flooding of streets and small streams.
Now, the story does eventually reference near-record snowfall in the 13th graph of a 17-paragraph story with a spin that turned the main officials' warning on its head.
Now, the Boston Globe is owned by the New York Times company.
Both the Times and the AP are heavily invested in the myth of global warming.
And record snowpack means higher than normal amounts of snow, colder than usual temperatures, or both, none of which readily fits into the drive-by chosen storyline that mankind is giving Mother Nature a fever.
Big media's global warning bias has largely remained the realm of theory.
Now it has begun to endanger people's lives and property in real time.
The AP and the Boston Globe had the choice of reporting a truly inconvenient truth for them or of perpetual global warming or facilitating officials' effort to protect the public or advancing their agenda.
Why are we not surprised by the decision that they made?
And it's a valid question.
How many times have you seen all these outrageously extreme kook predictions of all kinds of destruction reported seriously by the drive-by media?
Anyway, to the phones, Angela in El Paso, Texas, glad you called.
Welcome to the program.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
I was calling because earlier, your caller from Miami, you commented to her that you thought liberal Ubis, Ubris, sorry, liberal Ubris prevented liberals from believing conservatives are right.
And I actually, over the last few years, as I've watched them in action, I think you're wrong.
I disagree.
I think that there's a little voice in the back of their heads that's telling them conservatives are right.
I think they're mad that we have such confidence and that we can back up our confidence with historical successes when conservative policies are followed.
And they simply can't back it up.
They don't have the historical successes to back up the policies they want to put forth.
You know, I understand that.
And a lot of people think that deep down in their hearts, liberals know we're right.
I don't, I'm not sure of that because I don't think, you know, the best way to explain this is liberals do not use their minds.
There's no logical progression to liberalism.
If there were logic involved, it would not exist.
Liberalism is born of pure emotion.
It's born of people's insecurities and their lives having no meaning.
And the purpose of liberalism is to tell themselves that they're good people.
All they have to do is say something or feel something and they consider themselves to be better people than anybody else.
They are arrogant.
They are condescending.
When Barack Obama talks about the bitter clingers, he's simply echoing what's taught to kids in the classrooms in this country, particularly on colleges and university campus.
I think, you know, I saw a story today, CNN was running a special investigative unit.
North Korean kids taught to hate the USA.
I said, so?
What's unique about that?
That's happening right here in the United States.
Kids are being, look, you want a good example?
How many kids have been forced to watch Gore's movie?
What's the result of that movie?
People, kids, students get mad at this country.
We are destroying the planet and a polar bear and the penguins and everything else that's out there.
The idea that the hatred for the USA is not taught in this country is absurd.
And I think there's an arrogance, a condescension among people like Obama and his university buddies.
They are better than anybody else.
They are smarter than everybody else.
And I don't think for a moment they think that we are right.
They are afraid of us.
No question.
All right, that's it, folks.
But that's not it.
That's it for this hour.
But there's another exciting hour of Open Line Friday coming up right after our break here at the top of the hour.
More global warming stuff in your phone calls about whatever you want to talk about.
See you in just a sec.
