Time Text
You know, folks, David Pluff.
David Pluff, worried about me and Sarah Palin traveling around the country purging the Republican Party of these moderate rhinos.
That's not what they're worried about, me and Palin purging.
Let me tell you what, Pluff, Obama, Pelosi, let me tell you what they're worried about.
They are worried that I am going to purge the blue dogs.
They are worried that I'm going to knock the blue dogs off and get them to vote against health care in the final analysis when it happens, blue dog Senate, Democrats, and so forth.
They're afraid of blue dogs losing elections.
Next November, they're not afraid.
In fact, they would love if this party were taken over fully by the rhinos.
They'd be in perpetual power, the Democrats would.
Anyway, greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, here on the EIB network.
Great to have you with us.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882 and the email address El Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Folks, we have reached a tipping point in vulgarity, perhaps.
President Clinton has once again demeaned himself by using a phrase describing a perverse sexual act, teabagging, as an attack and slur on Americans he used to lead.
We're talking about Americans who do not engage in vulgar sexual acts as President Clinton has engaged in.
If anybody's close to being a teabagger, it's President Clinton.
These are people who are standing on the shoulders of Americans' original patriots, those who led the revolt against attacks on tea, which preceded the American Revolution.
And that's the problem.
The Tea Parties are protests by Americans who object to an intrusive government.
A government which is confiscating private property under the threat of punishment, incarceration.
These people, you people, you tea partiers, people like me, Sarah Palin, we have to be destroyed.
We represent something very dangerous, individualism, American exceptionalism.
There's some serious irony at play here.
Americans who object to central planning, a loss of liberty, and unreasonable taxes are demeaned by a former impeached president using a sexually perverse phrase who as a married man had an affair with an intern, an affair that became famous for the creative use of a cigar, phone sex, and semen on a blue dress.
And he's out there calling us teabaggers.
Here we have a sexual predator, Bill Clinton, hailed for the left by the left for these sexual perversions using a vulgar sexual phrase against law-abiding Americans exercising the constitutional rights President Clinton once swore to uphold.
Courageous, ironic, deeply disappointing.
Of course, this demonstrates the esteem President Clinton, anyone else who uses that vulgar phrase has for their audience.
We have no evidence that Democrats are offended by anyone using the phrase teabagging, but macaca?
Ho ho!
Macaca, we gotta drive George Allen out of politics.
He used the word maca.
But President Clinton can run around and call us teabaggers without consequence.
Yeah, Clinton talked to the Democrats yesterday.
He urged them to, I mean, he turned them into kamikaze party yesterday.
Bill Clinton treated the Democrat senators as kamikaze pilots.
Ordered them to get in their Japanese zeros and fly them into the nearest aircraft carrier.
Clinton said, yeah, yeah, you know, the reason the T-Baggers are so inflamed is because we're winning.
We have sound bites.
This is President Clinton.
After he spoke with the Democrats, a reporter said, what did you tell him in there?
The worst thing to do is nothing.
One of the things that I think most Americans don't know is that under all versions of this, everybody already has health insurance, not only knows they can't lose it now, but they get to keep their kids on the insurance policy until they're 26 years old.
There's more for mammograms, more for prostate cancer.
There are a whole range of insurance reforms where the benefits flow immediately as we work up toward universal coverage and work out the financing and the costs and all that.
It's not important to be perfect here.
It's important to act, to move, to start the ball rolling, to claim the evident advantages that all these plans agree with.
Well, now, in addition to none of that being true, there is a big contradiction here.
He says, we got to get going.
Pass it now.
Pass it whenever you can.
Just pass it.
Here, listen, next bite, and I'll give you my analysis.
That's up to them to decide.
The opposition has already been generated, but if the support gets disenchanted, then the turnout goes down, and the surveys don't need anything because you're at a structural disadvantage.
So I think it is good politics to pass this and to pass it as soon as they can.
But I think the most important thing is it is the right thing for America.
The worst thing to do is nothing.
No, no.
In fact, the best thing to do right now would be nothing.
Nothing equals stopping this.
Stopping this, stopping this equals doing nothing right now.
Then we can do our own reforms.
We don't need to do this now, but Clinton wants this done now.
Just do it, do it.
And, you know, every year, add on.
Every year, amend it.
Every year, add something else every year.
Then you get the universal this and you get the universal that and you get the public option.
You got to do it.
Got to do it now.
Why?
Seems to me Clinton should be understand this.
Clinton went in there and he told these Democrats that the only way they're going to keep their seats is if they pass health care.
There have been three stages of Clinton.
When he lost health care in 93, 94, he blamed it on, we just added, you know, we went to too futch, too much, too soon, you know, one big basket.
And he blamed it on the Republicans in Congress and he blamed it on, I mean, he blamed it on three different things, but he didn't blame anything on the fact he didn't get it passed.
Not once did he say the Republicans were elected because I didn't pass health care.
The truth is the Republicans were elected for a host of reasons.
Among them, Bill Clinton tried for health care.
It used Hillary to do it.
Nobody liked her.
So now all of a sudden, Obama goes up and talks to the Democrats in the House.
Clinton goes, talks to the Democrat in the Senate, and both guys tell the Democrats, you're going to be worse off if you don't pass this.
The only way that you can get re-elected is to pass it.
We've lost the Republicans.
They're ginned up.
Their opposition to this is clear what it is.
You've got to turn out your base.
You've got to go and vote.
You've got to pass this.
Now, if this is such a winner, if this is such a winner, if he is such a certain mind that health care reform will be the biggest winner Democrat candidates next year, why is he telling Congress to pass it now?
Why not wait till next year?
Close to the elections.
It'll be fresh in people's minds when they go to the polls.
Because it's all predicated on the fact people want this, right?
Well, the polls don't say that.
Polls say most people don't want this.
The fringe Democrat base may want it.
And the Democrats are going to need their base to turn out and vote for them.
But this is a kamikaze party.
Bill Clinton's advising these guys to basically go out and throw themselves overboard.
He's lying to them.
Obama's lying to him.
So the fact is that Clinton realizes most people are against it.
So the Democrats had better pass it as soon as possible and hope that everybody forgets about it by November 2010.
Democrats only gave up on Hillary care in late September in 94.
Don't forget this.
The Democrats frantically tried to distance themselves from the effort in the run-up to the elections.
But it was too recent.
Everybody was still painfully aware what the Democrats had just tried to pull when they went to the polls.
By the way, we're supposed to believe the Clinton Democrat media spin that the Democrats only got wiped out in 94 because they didn't pass health care reform.
People just aren't that irrational.
The Democrats are, but people aren't.
Now they're all in for Obama.
Got to get this passed.
If you don't pass this, you're going to certain defeat.
Everybody knew it was the Republicans who had stopped Hillary care.
So why would the voters turn around and reward the very party that had stopped something they wanted so badly?
You realize the delusional state these people are in in order to persuade their allies to get this done.
If the American people in 94 so wanted health care, why wouldn't they have voted in still more Democrats to make sure it passed the next time around?
It's not what happened.
They threw Democrats out.
Republicans took control of place for the first time in 40 years.
This is revisionist.
This is Orwellian, in fact.
Orwellian, you know, screw Nostradamus.
George Orwell called everything.
He called every, he called News Speak, he called Big Brother, and he called history revisionism.
Statists sat in there and revised history books to take out all the stuff that the statists didn't want.
And this is exactly what Clinton's doing now.
And by the way, ditto Hillary Clinton over there at the Brandenburg Gate, I don't care what your politics, how you cannot mention Ronald Reagan, a former president of the United States who was instrumental in the fall of Soviet communism.
How you cannot mention him and still say that you are for a unified America is beyond me.
How you can go over there and you can praise the current president who was barely reaching puberty when all that happened and probably regrets that it did.
You mention him, you don't mention Thatcher.
She's right there, just a couple countries away in Europe.
You don't mention Pope John Paul II, who was a huge role in it.
You don't do these people, folks, they are 1984.
They are Sololinsky.
They are Abby Hoffman.
They are their 60s radical bunch, and they have finally got their arms around this country.
And they're going to run it into the ground.
We had a brief timeout.
Sit tight, big right back.
And we're back, El Rushmore, serving humanity.
How?
Simply by showing up.
Essentially, serving humanity simply by breathing and exhaling with vocal vibrations.
800-282-2882.
Mr. Snerdley and Cookie up in New York are pleading with me to play excerpts of the 25th anniversary hour I did with KFBK Sacramento yesterday.
And it was fun.
It was a great trip down memory lane.
Being there 25 years ago and for three and a half years, and Stan Atkinson, a good friend of mine, Dale Carlson, a sleep train, came in as surprise guests.
And it really was a lot of fun.
It was really, it was commercial-free.
They had every local news in there, but they had a couple of segments of quick soundbite excerpts of me over the years.
And I'm conflicted.
I'm conflicted because the people of Sacramento heard it.
We've got the whole thing on the website at Rush Limbaugh.
What are you saying?
You know, play some of it anyway.
Okay, everybody's just in there to play some of it.
Okay, but see, it's not about the issues.
I mean, it's just about me.
All right, I'll play some in the next half hour.
I'll play some soundbites in the next half hour.
The whole thing is at rushlimbaugh.com.
I was reading my genuine hometown newspaper today, the Southeast Missourian, Cabe Girardo.
And there is a, it's either a letter to the editor or it is a column by a local resident, William Piercy Sr.
Mr. Obama, I'm calling you out.
Now, this is Heartland America, folks.
This is about H1N1.
And, you know, the hysteria has disappeared.
Have you noticed the hysteria has disappeared from the dry price?
We had a national emergency.
We had, what's her name, Sebelius?
And who else was out there every day?
You got to go do this.
You've got to go get the.
And now there's no news about it at all.
And that's because the government has totally botched it.
They have no vaccine.
There's a shortage.
And so the Obama government has stopped all the faxes and emails to the media to keep the hysteria going.
They've dialed it back now because they don't want people to think it's a hysteria anymore or that there's even an emergency because there's no vaccine.
The new era of government control over our lives and freedoms has begun.
This week it got personal and I felt helpless.
The doctor overseeing my health care advised me to get an H1N1 flu shot.
I've been under a six-year treatment program for a chronic infection, plus I have heart and lung problems.
Therefore, I'm considered a high risk.
Fortunately, my doctor had three shots available, but I get this now to get this.
The doctor had three shots.
His doctors got three shots of the vaccine, but I would have to get approval from the county health department.
Much to my surprise, the woman at the health department apologized and told me that even though I was a senior citizen and high risk, the health department had been instructed to approve shots only for children and pregnant mothers.
Folks, in this vaccine, we've already got rationing of health care.
And the doctor has to tell the patient to get approval from a county health board.
Already, without the passage of this monstrosity, we can already see the failure of government health care in this vaccine program.
Can you imagine going into your doctor?
He's got three vaccines, and you got to call a county health department.
You got to call a bureaucrat for approval.
So Mr. Piercy did that.
And the health department had been instructed to approve shots only for children and pregnant mothers.
I asked when a shot for my situation might be available.
We really don't know.
Check back with us sometime in December.
What?
Terrorist detainees at Gitmore are getting shots this month.
Why not a high-risk senior citizen?
Mr. Obama, this is what we call healthcare rationing, which you claim won't happen under a government-run health care program.
If George W. Bush was considered the Barney Fife of executive power, then welcome to the Chicago-style politics of the new Vito Corleone family.
The president himself, like a strong-armed enforcer, said in a nationally televised speech, if you misrepresent anything in this plan, I will call you out.
This administration has turned the once dignified and esteemed Oval Orifice into a war room for its liberal propaganda.
On his first day in office, the president signed the ethics commitments by executive branch personnel executive order.
During the campaign, he vowed to keep lobbyists out of the administration.
But in section three of this order is a waiver clause.
The director of the Office of Management and Budget may grant a written waiver of any restriction.
Former lobbyists were given waivers and now hold key positions in government.
Mr. Obama, you lied.
At the same time lobbyists were coming in the front door, dozens of new unvetted hand-picked ideologues are being shuttled in the back door.
Many of these people were placed in key policymaking decisions.
Citizen Collins of Maine was worried about 18 of these unvetted czars, 10 of whom worked in the White House.
An amendment to force these appointees to testify was shot down by Democrat leadership.
Collins was especially concerned about Carol Browner, who negotiated fuel economy standards with the car companies.
She even sent a letter to Obama, and one of his counsels replied that no one would be made available.
The administration fears no one, especially a senator who dares to enforce something as minor as checks and balances.
Obama promised transparency.
He lied.
On the topic of transparency, the $787 billion stimulus bill was a progressive Trojan horse.
It's loaded with political favors and programs that set up the infrastructure for education, healthcare, and climate change.
It was passed and signed in a matter of weeks.
This was not a bill to put Americans back to work.
Obama said it would produce 3.5 million jobs in two years.
Over the past year, the administration has changed its story daily, finally settled on the creator-save propaganda.
Obama said the bill would keep unemployment under 8%.
The rate has climbed to over 10%.
Either his economic advisors are incompetent and need to be fired, or once again, Mr. Obama, you lied.
Mr. President, you said you didn't want to run our car companies and banks, but you do.
With the $350 billion in TARP money left by President Bush, Obama's people continued the surge of bailouts.
Americans might be shocked to know the recipients of the bailout money now total 727 institutions.
This government control in the private sector is unprecedented.
Government-run health care, card check, cap-and-trade, net neutrality, control of radio stations, and possible newspaper bailouts are just part of this administration's agenda.
It's time for the American people to get in this government's face and call it out.
This coup d'état can be defeated.
We have the numbers, the votes, the willpower to turn back this assault on our individual freedoms.
With 15 million unemployed Americans, I'm sure we can find a few willing patriots to fill all those upcoming vacant seats in Washington, especially with an annual salary of $170,000, office staff, insurance, expense account, and best of all, a three-day workweek.
The only requirement for this job are honesty, integrity, and love of country.
Mr. Obama, I'm calling you out.
There's a lot of anger, and there's a lot of fear in the hinterlands, the heartland of this country, about this duping that we've had on this swine flu vaccine.
The White House stopped feeding the drive-bys their hysteria email of the day, and so they stopped covering the story.
You know, every TV and radio newscast for months, it led.
And now they've been found out to be the incompetent jerks we knew they were.
So the spin is silent.
And the drive-bys are too stupid to figure out that they have a real good story here.
Government screwing up royally in vaccinating people against a declared emergency, a government-declared emergency.
Health department to get approval for a vaccine.
Now, that last column letter to the editor I read was from the Southeast Missouri today by a senior citizen who lives in my hometown, Cape Girardo, Missouri.
And he's been advised by his doctor to get the swine flu vaccine.
And he went in there, and the doctor had three vaccines.
And the doctor said, you've got to call a county health department.
Folks, this is a death panel.
If we are to believe that there is a national emergency and they've declared one with swine flu, this man had to call a county health department.
And the county health department said, nope, only pregnant women and young children.
Oh, okay.
When can I get mine?
We don't know when we'll get anymore.
Check back with us in December.
What if he gets the swine flu between now and then?
Now, where does the county health department get its marching orders?
Who do you think tells the county health department who they can approve and not approve to get swine flu vaccine?
Kathleen Sebelius, the health and human services secretary in the Obama administration.
No other way to look at this.
Rationed care death panel.
Hub, hub.
All right, let me grab a couple phone calls here.
Kelsey in Hurricane Utah.
Oh, by the way, speaking of that, the remnants of Hurricane Tropical Storm Ida are just pounding parts of the southeastern coast and the eastern seaboard.
And I have spies in these places, lots of friends.
They say, I mean, there's not one media person on site to report the carnage.
Not one.
Even the locals are not out there telling people it's raining.
All right, Kelsey in Hurricane Utah.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
How are you today?
Fine and dandy.
Thank you.
Hey, it's great to talk to you.
Real quick, I wanted to get back to the CNN reporter and how he was describing Nadal Hassan's religion.
Now, am I remembering correctly?
Did he use the word conservative?
Yeah, conservative Muslim.
Well, you know, normally, if you would want to describe his actions, wouldn't you kind of use a different word?
Wouldn't you say radical or nutjob or traitor or extremist?
No, but see, we are the extremists.
Obama's calling us the extremists.
This guy's a mainstream Islamofascist.
I know your point is well taken.
Look, they call, the media calls Mahmoud Ahmadini's the mullahs, the conservative leadership in Iran.
Yeah.
Well, you know, I think this big marketing, you know, we are labeling, we are marketing, we are using rhetoric and trying to convince people that the duck that's walking like a duck and quacking like a duck is not a duck.
Well, if I know, but see, what you have to understand is we're the enemy.
We're the ones that need protection against backlashes.
Not Muslims.
Muslim backlash in this country is hardly any hate crimes against Muslims compared to other religions.
Okay, by popular demand, here's some excerpts from the 25th anniversary show, KFBK Sacramento.
Now, set this up.
I was there, got there in October of 1984, and it was my last shot at radio, and I was insistent that I'd be able to do it my way to find out if I could be the reason people listen to radio, not an endless parade of guests that didn't care about whether I succeeded or not and so forth.
And that was the first place in all my career after having left home that I'd established roots, was a member of the community.
Pittsburgh and Sacramento are the two places.
Well, I can't leave out Kansas City either because it was there 10 years.
But Sacramento really had more friends there than anywhere else.
And actually became a member of the community rather than just a passing personality, a vagabond climbing the ladder of success.
So Kitty O'Neill, who was my call screener there, was the co-host among Tom Sullivan, who was one of my good friends there.
And she said that, Rush, you came.
How long do you remember that Morton Downey Jr. had been gone, that you came into KFBK?
I replaced Morton Downey Jr. because he had told an ethnic joke about a member of the city council and he refused to apologize for it, so they zapped him.
And I was in there to replace him.
There's a name here that I have to mention.
He passed away.
San Francisco, his name is Norman Woodruff.
And Norman was consulting a radio station in Kansas City, which fired me for being too controversial.
I was doing commentaries about the 84 Democrat primaries, and they didn't like that.
But Norman was consulting that station.
He was there.
After I'd been gone for a week or a week and a half trying to find another job, he called me at home and asked me how I'd like to be a star in California.
And I said, whoa, a star in California.
Where is it?
He says, I'm not going to tell you until you say yes.
I said, well, this is not good.
It must not be Los Angeles or San Francisco.
He said Sacramento.
And then he laid out what the job would be and what the opportunity would be.
And, you know, I weighed it pretty heavily because I'd never been to California.
I'd never been there.
It was, you know, it was a frightening thing, but I said, okay, I'll do it.
And Norm Woodruff is the man singularly most responsible for watching my back and making sure that the way I wanted to do my show out there happened.
There was all kinds of pressure when I got there to have guests and to do a formulaic talk show like everybody else in the business was doing.
And I told Norm that I wanted to find out if I, once and for all, could be the reason people listened to radio.
I didn't want to invest in a bunch of guests that didn't care about my success, any aspect of my success.
He had a guy named Bruce Maher, who came in later, really had my back on this.
And one of the most fortunate things that happened was that shortly after I got there, the management stole from, I even forget the name of the station, there was a competing talk station across town.
They stole the morning team, Dave and Bob.
And of course, when they got Dave and Bob, for those of you sophisticated listeners, most of you are, the morning show is where everybody focuses their attention.
That's what matters.
That's prime time in radio.
So they forgot about me.
They forgot about the formula.
They forgot about what I was doing.
They were focusing everything on Dave and Bob, which is the best thing that could have happened to me because then I had three to four months to establish myself.
And when the ratings came out after the first three or four months, they were better than I'd ever had anywhere.
And so Norm's, you know, having my back and just the natural flow of events there allowed all this to happen as it did.
And if it hadn't been for Dave and Bob being hired and Norman Woodruff, none of the rest of this would have happened because I wouldn't have cut it as a host who had to have guests.
I would have blended into the crowd and been no different than anybody else.
So then this is Dale Carlson.
He's the owner of Sleep Train, and he was the first sponsor that had the courage and guts to let the controversial Rush Limbaugh endorse his product.
And I still do.
I still do his commercials out in Sacramento.
But here's that segment.
Rush, one of the very first radio remotes I ever went to was with you, and it was in the Thomas, and it was this store.
There was only one of them at the time.
It was called the Sleep Train.
Remember that?
And in studio, we do have Mr. Dale Carlson.
Hey, Rush, how are you doing?
Dale, how are you, my man?
I'm doing fantastic, thanks to you.
Did you single-handedly do this too, Rush?
Did you make it?
He did.
He did.
Without Rush, I wouldn't be where I'm at today.
Well, you know something?
I was talking about this on the radio today when I was mentioning I was going to be doing this hour on KFBK.
I figured out after talking to Sullivan, Sullivan was the business guy, the money guy, and we'd sit around and just chew the fat about radio.
And finally, it dawned on me, or he mentioned to me, you're going to have to find your way into the revenue stream.
You've got to put your name, your hand, on X amount of dollars you generate.
That'll give you ratings, insurance, and so forth.
And out of the blue, there was a salesman, first name Frank, forget his last name, came to me.
Palouch.
Frank Palouch.
That's right.
Frank Pelouch.
And he said that there's a guy with a mattress store and wants to advertise.
And I went out and I met Dale, and I just jumped at the opportunity to do it because, I mean, it was called Sleep Train.
I mean, it was made to order for this.
And at the time, you guys, you remember, I mean, there was a lot of controversy, and Dale was getting a lot of heat from people.
Hi, I'm never going to shop at your store as long as you use the limbo.
He stuck with it.
And that begot a whole bunch of others like it.
And this kind of success I'd never had.
And I'd never had that kind of investment by a sponsor, in me specifically, and in my talent.
And I've never forgotten it.
All that stuff, everything that you can remember and bring up, even that I may have forgotten that happened in Sacramento, was crucial.
It was just without doubt, everything that happened out there was what prepared me for what happened later on.
That's why I call it my adopted hometown.
It was the first place in my whole life, except my hometown, where I really felt like a member of the community, like it actually had roots out there.
I was only there three and a half years, and I look back on it, and I still feel like I've lived there longer than I have anywhere else.
Interesting.
And you know, Rush, to have somebody in a commercial venture just starting out, put their eggs in your basket and despite all the controversy, keep them there and stand by you.
It really, it paid off in so many ways, but I think just it was so encouraging for you, as you just said, when you were just starting out.
And look at how it's turned out.
Sleep train.
How many sleep trains do you have, Dale?
About 230 stores and different brands and so forth.
But, you know, Rush, he's done the same thing for me.
When he left town to go to New York, you know, he told me, Dale, the people we meet on the way up, same people meet on the way down, and I'll always take care of you.
And the man's been true to his word, and you've continued to just be a godsend to me, Rush, and a great friend.
And I appreciate everything you've done.
Well, vice versa.
Thank you.
That's right.
He started with one store, one store in Sacramento, California.
He's got 230 of them now, all up and down the left coast.
And they're not all called sleep trains.
They're different names.
It was a fun hour.
We've got, let's see, there's one more with Stan Atkinson.
There's two more.
There's two more wanting it.
Folks, I may have to put off a couple of them until tomorrow.
But we'll get those other two at cookie.
If I don't get to them today, keep them on the roster for tomorrow.
Folks, the liberties and freedoms.
I want to get back to the issues here.
The liberties and freedoms defined in our Constitution are under attack.
And you know, there's a very telling quote from Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope, that has been a foreshadowing of what I told you to expect.
Schnurdley was reminding me that I predicted all this economic disaster when I heard about the stimulus package way back in January and February.
And I predicted a lot of other things.
I told you to expect this.
Here is Obama's quote from his book.
I have to side with Justice Breyer's view of the Constitution, that it's not static, but rather a living document that must be read in the context of an ever-changing world.
Now, contrast that with what you know about the Constitution and what most Americans think they know about it.
The Heritage Foundation is one organization that will always defend the Constitution.
One of the great thinkers at the Heritage Foundation, Dr. Matthew Spalding, has written and just released a book.
It's called We Still Hold These Truths.
Thoughtfully, passionately explains how and why our first principles, the founding principles, are still relevant.
And when you become a member of the Heritage Foundation, if you do it this week, make a $50 contribution to the process.
That's what gets you a membership.
You'll get a copy of the book.
So go online to askheritage.org, become a member this week.
It's always a good time to support our freedoms and liberties.
And now you get the benefit of Matthew Spalding's book to work towards that end.
AskHeritage.org is where it all starts.
You know, everybody wants to be like me.
And I am a member of the Heritage Foundation, and you should be too.
All right, try some of these headlines.
I don't have time to get into all this.
Gay activists launch boycott of Democrats.
Obama camp was source for Edwards' haircut story.
An infamous report about Edwards' $400 haircut came from Obama campaign opposition research.
That's in salon.com.
Ice loss helps offset global warming.
Global warming has been blamed for the alarming loss of ice shelves, but a new study says the newly exposed areas of sea are now soaking up some of the carbon gas that causes the problem.
So melting ice caps, which are not melting, but if they do, it's now a good thing.
These people are turning themselves into pretzels.
From Rass Musson, most Americans favor big screen TVs over energy conservation.
Rass Musson Reports National Survey says that 66% of Americans oppose a law that would effectively ban the sale of big screen TVs to save energy.
Most adults say being able to buy whatever kind of TV they want is more important than conserving energy.
This is nationwide.
California set to ban big screen TVs.
People still want their freedom.
Denmark to pay immigrants £12,000 to go home if they can't or won't assimilate.
Now, there's not a whole lot to like about Europe these days, but this one you got to like.
Hey, you won't assimilate?
Go home.
Here's 12 grand.
Get out of our country.
I mentioned the Huffco in their separate book list.
Women unpaced to be majority of union workers.
No good can come of that.
Trust me, folks.
Don't.
That's, I mean.
Well, now, wait a minute.
Chickify the unions.
Oh, wait a minute.
No, no.
My instincts never fail me.
No good can come of that.
That's right.
We have demands on labor high enough.
Mark and Houston, you're next in the EIB network sir.
Hello.
Hi, yes.
Rush, thanks for having me.
I'd like to say that we conservative Americans are at the mercy of a handful of Democrats, these senators that are going to have to vote here.
And it's a small few, but I know we're going to see some Chicago politics really hard on those guys.
I know they're going to be bought.
We already know the highest bid for a yes vote is some $1.6 billion.
And the only thing I have to stand up and believe in right now is that there's a couple of good old American senators, Democrats, who are looking at this and going, I've got to make the biggest vote of my entire Senate career on this vote right here.
And that's scary.
And that's all I've got to believe in right now, it feels like.
Who are the two senators?
Who are the two senators?
No, I say two.
I don't know.
The blue dogs, you know, call them what we want, but that's all we have to go on right now.
Oh, that there'll be a couple senators that will not be bought off.
They won't be bought off, that they're going to look at this and recognize this is socialism staring us in the face.
This country changes direction from this vote forward.
And this will wreck or ruin my career, but it will also wreck or ruin this country.
I don't want to alarm you or anything out there, Mark.
You know, I'm here to calm, inspire, and motivate, but you're looking for a couple of good senators among Democrats?
Hot damn, hot damn.
I close out the show on good news.
You know, some of you people remember that my favorite bird is the pelican.
And the federal government now says that the brown pelicans are endangered no more.
They're not on the endangered list, which means I go out and capture one now.
Oh, goody.
Those things just, they just amaze me.
All right, folks, got to go to New York.
A friend of mine being honored by the Boy Scouts, but I'll be back tomorrow.
I'm not staying up there.
It's not a tax working day.
I'm in and out, not even going to the city.
I'll be back tomorrow.
I'll see you then.
