Time Text
Now this is very interesting.
I uh remember that that first call that Snerdley found that diamond in the rough out there who said, hey, Bush did it too.
Bush suppressed global warming day.
All of a sudden, I'm being inundated in the public email box with liberals.
Yeah, Bush did it too.
They think this is a rejoinder.
They think this is a way to deal.
Oh, Bush suppressed it too.
So let me deal with this.
Greetings and welcome back.
Rush Linbaugh on the EIV network 800 282-2882.
If you want to appear on the program, look, folks, government reports can say many things, including by leftists who weasel their way into the bureaucracy.
The issue here is that we have emails in which the authors, in which the so-called scientists, the writers of the emails by their own hands and by their own words, are misleading, spinning, smearing, and lying.
The Bush administration deciding not to use some global warming data provided by tainted scientists is a political decision.
They decided not to prove or not to advance a global warming movement because politically they didn't agree with it.
When he's suppressing anything, we have scientists here, claimed scientists who lied, who made it up, who fudged the data.
There is no global warm man made.
There is no man-made global warming.
They've had to make it up.
Now, before we get to this this new stack.
One rejoinder to everything.
Bush did it.
Bush did it too.
Bush did it, Bush did it, Bush did it, Bush did it.
And they're attacking me on TV for this.
Oh, for my shows on global warming last week.
The media's attacking me for this leftist.
Well, what would you expect?
Of course, look, the cornerstone, the foundation of their movement to communize the whole world has just fallen apart.
This was a house of cards as a foundation.
This house of cards, and now the cards, the foundation, are starting to crumble.
This was never a house made out of anything substantive.
It was a house of cards all along, and now the cards are starting to crumble.
And the house is on the way to falling down.
Good.
If they're coming after me, fine.
Let them focus even more attention on me.
Let them have even more people tune in here and get the truth about what a hoax this and all of liberalism is.
It is all from a start to finish a lie.
It is all a lie.
It is a poison.
It is corrupting decent people.
It's corrupting the concepts of liberty and freedom.
This nation was founded upon.
It is stinks.
It's insidious.
It is a disease.
It has affected people who run around with it.
Now it is curable.
The show has been shown to cure liberalism in certain patients.
It takes repeated exposure and uh uh oftentimes support groups out there.
But it has been known to happen, and by the way, no insurance request.
By the way, I wonder if the two gate crashers, the White House crashers, crashers my they won't they didn't crash anything.
Somebody let them in.
The bottom line is somebody let them in.
I wonder if they had health insurance.
What's the difference?
Ed Rollins out there saying they're trespassers.
Well, so are 12 million illegals.
And we're not kicking them out either.
It's pretty consistent policy, if you ask me.
Trespassers of the White House, trespassers in the country.
All right, back to this couple.
75-year-old grandmother and grandfather tooling around Florida and North Florida, ostensibly going Christmas shopping for their grandkids.
Isn't that a nice pretext for the story?
Driving around Christmas shopping for the grandkids.
And they're monitoring cell phone calls in their car.
Innocent little grandparents, probably barely see over the steering wheel, probably 20 miles under the speed limit, you know, just trying to get to the early bird special after they've done all the Christmas shopping and they're listening to cell phone calls on the radio.
Just like we all do.
And they just happen, you know, I guess they had the scanner on.
And he just happened to run across a conversation between Newt Gingrich, who at the time was Speaker of the House, and uh John Boehner, one of his lieutenant leaders.
Well, I forget what were they talking about?
The strategy how to deal with the Democrats, something about uh budget deficit.
Oh, yeah, the uh the government shutdown strategy, stuff like that.
So these these people, these innocent average American grandparents, Christmas shopping for the kids in their s in their Cadillac listening to cell phone calls, thought that they were in on an historic moment.
So they found a way to, in their car, with the cell phone radio record the call.
We all have these uh cell phone receivers and attached recorders in our cars.
Don't you?
Well, this is what we were led to believe.
This is just it's a this is it was just a sheer coincidence.
I'm not making anything up.
This is what we were told.
This happened to be listening, and because of what they heard, didn't matter how they got it, didn't matter what they heard, it was so important.
This was crucial because we had a couple of Republicans trying to destroy a Democrat president.
Ah, yes, and have a strategy session on a budget shut down their government shut down the budget in 95, whatever it was.
So this couple happened to send a tape.
Who was it, Jim Moran?
Oh, that's right, Baghdad Jim McDermott, one of the most radical leftists, he'd be right at home in the global warming center over there at Hadley.
They sent the tape to him.
Now they're driving around Florida.
He's a congressman from the state of Washington.
It's about as far away from the mall that they were Christmas shopping while listening to the cell phone and recording it in their car as you can get.
Baghdad Jim McDermott, member of Congress, Democrat, state of Washington, decided that the New York Times had to hear about this.
So they sent the tape.
Baghdad Jim sent the tape to the New York Times.
The New York Times then published the transcript.
This was a violation of privacy, because anybody who knows anything knows that you are not allowed to record phone calls unless the participants are aware of it.
Unless you've got a court order from a judge and are running some sort of a sting, you can't do it.
And yet it was published.
And it was said to be so important.
Now there was a lawsuit that ensued, and it was just recently settled.
I think McDermott had to pay some money to somebody.
They had a bundle.
But in this case, there were no lies told.
It was just a conversation.
It was almost as though Boehner talking to Newt was itself a crime that had to be exposed.
Because they were talking about their own views on the federal budget.
And of course, sitting president was the beloved intern chasing, although we didn't know that at the time, many of us suspected it, but we didn't know at the time Bill Clinton.
And so the New York Times publishes this stuff because the public had a right to know.
The same New York Times, which refuses to this day to publish these emails from the climate research unit because they're stolen.
Well, Newt Gingrich's phone call was stolen right out of the air, illegally, by a couple of Democrat Party activists who successfully were able to be portrayed as an innocent grandparent team, Christmas shopping for the kiddies, driving around accidentally, encountering history.
The left is poison.
The left is lies.
It cannot exist legitimately.
It must present itself as something else.
It can't even exist if it is known as liberalism.
They go to all sorts of great lengths to make you realize that they're not liberals.
They're progressives.
They're moderates.
Moderate is just a code word for liberal.
They are scientists.
They are academics.
They are media figures.
It's just another way to not have to call themselves liberals because liberalism doesn't sell in this country.
They run around and talk about how the uh Republican Party voter identification in polls is way, way down.
Well, twice as many Americans identify themselves as conservatives over liberals.
40% to 20%.
36% identify themselves as independents, and in every poll that you look at that you care to assign any uh any weight to you'll find those independents are fast tracking it to the conservative side of things, which is to, in their minds, vote Republican.
All right, a quick timeout.
Another round of global warming stories promoting the hoax, detailing the hoax, exposing the hoax.
All coming up after this.
Okay, here's uh to close the loop on the phone call.
John Boehner was uh awarded one million dollars in legal fees over the secretly taped phone call.
This is from April 1st of 2008.
Uh federal judge, and this is in the Seattle Times, uh, has ordered Jim McDermott to pay John Boehner more than one million dollars in legal fees in a decade-long dispute over an illegally taped telephone call.
I'm not sure that McDermott's paid up.
That's that's what I'm not sure about.
Now, from the Washington Post on uh, let's see, April 24th of 1997.
A Florida couple agreed yesterday to plead guilty to federal charges.
They illegally taped a telephone conference call between House Speaker Newt Gingrich and his lieutenants.
It was a cell call.
Let's not forget.
John and Alice Martin of Fort White, Florida, each face a fine of up to $5,000 for violating a federal law that makes it a crime to intentionally intercept a telephone call in plea agreements filed in federal court Jacksonville.
Federal prosecutors did not promise to make any recommendation on their sentences.
The uh the Martins, John and Alice, local Democrat activists, said they gave Representative Jim McDermott the tape made on December 21st of Gingrich and his leadership team discussing how to limit the political and media damage from his admission later that day that he violated house ethics rules.
So that's what it was about.
They got fined five grand.
Boehner was awarded a million dollars in legal fees.
I don't think McDermott Magdad Jim has uh has paid up.
It was local Democrat Party hacks.
And don't forget the whole thing got published in the New York Times.
It was considered historic.
And the real thing was that it was near, it was, it was it portrayed as almost criminal that Newt and Boehner would get on the phone to discuss things together.
All right, now the global warming additional stack.
Headlines.
From yesterday, November 29th, from the UK Scotsman.
Warming will wipe out billions.
Only 10% will survive global warming.
The warmers are trying to terrify everybody into signing onto this Copenhagen treaty, and worse.
Now, somebody explained to me how it is they are not terrorists.
This is a pure terror tactic.
The people at the IPCC, the UN, the people at Hadley, the people in the media, Al Gore are terrorizing.
People around the world and in this country, Gore specifically, and don't forget Gore's quote.
Gore's quote, let me let me call it up here for you real quickly.
We're getting the audio of this.
Al Gore once said of George W. Bush, he betrayed this country.
He played on our fears.
Warming will wipe out billions.
Only 10% will survive global warming.
And we also got some great audio sound bites on this coming up.
Hang in there.
Here's the next headline.
Only 10% will survive global warming.
And that quote in the story that I just read from the Scotsman is from the head of the Tindal Center.
That report and crazy quotes, other crazy quotes in the story, only 10% will survive are from Professor Kevin Anderson, who is director of the Tindal Center for Climate Change, the Tindal Center looms large in the CRU, the Climate Research Unit emails.
This is not a conspiracy, folks.
This is a cabal.
This is a cabal of thugs masquerading as scientists to advance a worldwide leftist agenda.
You know, you might even when you read these emails, and I've read a fair number of them, because of course this is a very passionate issue to me.
One of the themes of the emails that have been released is how people at the climate research unit are constantly trying to shake down the oil companies, Exxon, uh Shell, for money and for partnerships.
Just like the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton have done.
They talk about it openly, how they're constantly trying to shake down the oil companies.
The only thing man-made about global warming is the theory behind it.
What are you going to do with people who are even willing to lie about the weather?
Oh, um, there's a I think it's a related story.
Somali pirates seized a tanker carrying more than 20 million dollars of crude oil from Saudi Arabia to the United States in the increasingly dangerous waters off East Africa, an official said Monday, an attack that could pose a huge environmental or security threat.
Really?
They hijack an oil tanker.
It's an environmental threat.
Now, if these little pirates, these Somali pirates, if they were smart, they would threaten to burn the oil unless the Copenhagen crowd gave them a billion or so bucks.
I mean, if they're out after money, and Copenhagen is out to fleece the world, particularly the United States, why don't these guys do a Saddam Hussein and threaten to set the whole ship on fire, start the start like Saddam did in the desert at the end of the First Gulf War.
He lit up all of his oil fields.
Get these guys to threaten to do the same thing.
I mean, this is pretty much what the global warming shakedowns all about, the redistribution of wealth from the first world to the third, the Somali pirates of the third world, they can say, hey, IPCC, we know you're working for us.
We know you're trying to get money, so you can give it to us.
Well, here, we're just going to kick the direct route, we're going to get it from you.
We're going to threaten to set this ship on fire.
Just mind-boggling.
Western lifestyle unattainable, says climate expert Rajenda Pachari.
This is from yesterday as well, by James Randerson.
In the UK Guardian.
Western lifestyle unsustainable, says climate expert Rajenda Pachari.
He heads up the intergovernmental panel on climate change for the United Nations.
Hotel guests should have their electricity monitored.
Hefty aviation taxes should be introduced to deter people from flying.
Iced water in restaurants should be curtailed.
The world's leading climate scientist has told the observer, which is a section of the UK Guardian.
Western lifestyle unsustainable.
Terrorism on parade, disguised as man-made global warming.
By the way, lest we forget, Mr. Rajenda Pachari, the head of the intergovernmental panel on climate change at the United Nation, was also awarded a Nobel Prize along with Al Gore for his work.
But notice it was a peace prize.
It was not the science prize.
This clown, the head of the IPCC and Gore, got the Nobel Peace Prize.
Remember that they shared it.
The IPCC and Al Gore.
These are a bunch of crooks.
Leftist thugs and crooks.
From Wednesday, 11 June 2008 from the press release of the University of East Anglia.
This is from last summer.
The University of East Anglia, particularly its climate research unit, is the Only university to be included in a list of the key bodies that have set the environmental agenda in the UK over the past 30 years.
So the CRU, University of East Anglia claimed they set the agenda on climate change.
And who besides the head of the IPCC can deny it?
Nobody can deny it.
They have set the agenda.
One man, Phil Jones, and his 150-year temperature record, which is a hoax and a fraud, is largely responsible for all of this.
Western lifestyle's unsustainable.
It is an attack on capitalism.
It is an attack on freedom.
And it is ongoing.
And it's not just happening in the global warming movement, it's happening in the Obama health care movement.
It's happening in the cap and trade movement.
It's happening in the card check movement.
It's happening in the amnesty for illegals movement.
Everything the left does should be seen as an attack on freedom.
That's how it should be understood.
And one more little story here, ladies and gentlemen, and this is from Tuesday, November 24th from the BBC.
Climate is a major cause of conflict in Africa.
And they have a picture up close of a poor, destitute, African woman, hands to her face, crying tears.
Climate has been a major driver of armed conflict in Africa.
Research shows.
And future warming is likely to increase the number of deaths from war.
They're doubling down on it.
It is just breathtaking to behold this.
They're so predictable.
We knew they were going to circle the wagons.
We knew that they were going to take this head on.
And the fact that people are calling here and commenting on this in a political fashion proves that global warming is a political movement that has nothing whatsoever to do with science.
And let's not forget Al Gore, who ought to be interrogated just as every president of big tobacco was for lying about nicotine, addiction of tobacco and nicotine and all that.
Here's Al Gore, February 8th of 2004.
He betrayed this country.
He cleared on her fears.
That's at the Democrat National Convention.
Well, not the Democrat National Convention.
It's uh the Democrat Party fundraiser, February 8th in 2004.
He betrayed this country.
He deprived on Avia.
How can we not call these people terrorists?
They're terrorizing little kids.
They're terrorizing everybody.
Okay to the phones to Buffalo, New York.
This is Steve.
Welcome, sir.
Great to have you here.
Hey, Ditto, how are you today, Russia?
Fine, sir.
Thank you.
Good.
I consider myself a libertarianist, and I absolutely disagree with the fact that this is a politically driven agenda.
The way I feel on this is throughout history, throughout time, many changes in the climate have occurred, which has caused mass extinction.
We can measure this in cycles.
We have cold periods, we have warm periods.
The various changes are usually occur by natural things that happen in the earth.
Do we agree?
Uh so far, but I'm not going to stipulate to the premise that thousands of species, or there have been thousands of extinctions.
We keep discovering new species.
That's absolutely correct.
Now, I I agree with you for the most part that at this current juncture there isn't enough research and hard science to face that the vehicles we're driving, the pollutants that we're admitting into the air is going to cause a man-made uh total collapse the way they're making it seem.
I agree that in the way that they're spinning it, it is disgusting to listen to.
However, I disagree in what you're saying is that we should not investigate this because we can measure and because we know for sure that there have been many changes.
Wait a second, wait a second.
Uh uh you just you just you're your man, you're heading down the right path.
You came to a fork in the road and you took it.
There has been and there is continually being produced.
Document, document after document, research paper after research, paper after research paper, proving that the earth is not even warming, much less that we have anything to do with it.
Sorry, my blood pressure's okay, folks.
I just don't suffer fools well.
There is don't you understand?
You call here and you want to sound so reasonable and so open-minded, and then say we shouldn't that we are looking into it.
That's how we have discovered that it is a hoax.
We have that the people that are producing the research that shows all of this is a lie can't get published in these so-called distinguished journals.
They are ridiculed and impugned.
They are laughed at, they are discredited and made fun of.
They are out there.
This consensus of scientists does not agree.
It does not exist.
All of this is totally made up.
Now you're right.
The earth warms and the earth cools.
And there's not a damn thing we can do about it.
Either way.
If we can't fix it, we can't, we didn't cause it.
And we can't fix it.
It's silly to even discuss this anymore.
This is the point.
It's silly to discuss it.
There is no man-made global warming.
It's been made up from the get-go because it is purely political.
And the fact that anybody wants to now dispute the real science and the temperature record of the last ten years, it ain't getting warmer.
There aren't more hurricanes, and they aren't more violent.
None of this is happening.
The sea levels are not rising, the glaciers are not melting.
It's all been photoshopped.
There is no evidence to support this, yet people want to call and argue about it, which means it is purely political.
And it always has been, and that is what I, your host, knew from the first moment I heard the first scientist for the first time on television on this week with Brinkley on a Sunday in 1984 say we've only got 20 years left.
I knew it's political.
And then I heard what they said we have to do.
We have to reduce our lifestyles, we have to stop making progress.
I knew it was political.
Because I know liberals.
I know liberals hate capitalism and consider it an enemy.
So how best to win if you're a liberal, destroy capitalism.
Ergo, man-made global warming.
And look at the headlines just today.
Western civilization, Western lifestyles unsustainable.
Only 10% of the world's population will survive global warming.
Global warming is causing conflict and war in Africa.
No, it's not.
It's something called poverty.
Get them running water, get them electricity, and get them DDT.
Get rid of dictators, and Africa will join the League of First World Nations in time.
But if you're going to deny Africa DDT, if you're going to deny Africa the right to develop, if you're going to deny Africa running water and electricity, then you're always going to have a third world country, with a few exceptions on the continent.
It's called poverty.
Poverty results from liberalism.
Poverty results from socialism.
The problem with poverty around the world is there hasn't been enough distribution of capitalism.
Capitalism is now under assault in the one great place in this country that made it the greatest country on the face of the earth.
A country that the left despises, leftists in this country and in other countries despise this country.
And every one of their policies, either at the UN or in Washington, is designed to take down this country.
Make no mistake about it.
You cannot ignore it any longer.
You cannot say, Rush, that sounds a little extreme.
I just don't want to think that there are people living in this country that would do you watching them, you're voting for them.
It happens.
It's happening right under your nose.
It's called Obamacare.
It's called health insurance reform.
It's called tack uh cap and trade.
It's called TARP.
It's called the stimulus bill.
This president has spent three and a half trillion dollars in his first year in office, and it ain't over.
That is a record.
It's three and a half trillion dollars we do not have.
It is designed to bankrupt this country and to allow Obama to join the rest of the leftists around the world and raise taxes on everybody in this country, income taxes and every other kind of tax, the purpose of which is twofold.
To fund an ever-growing government, but more importantly, to prevent the creation of wealth, to provide a roadblock to the creation of wealth, the more that is taxed from you, the less disposable income you have to invest and to live on, the less likely you are to assume and acquire wealth.
That's for the elitists to have.
And they're going to get their wealth by taking yours and mine and everybody else's.
And they're going to do it under the guise of saving the planet, or creating jobs, or reforming health care, or uh reducing greenhouse gases, or saving the financial institutions, or saving the banks, or making sure nobody defaults on their mortgage, or making sure nobody has to pay on their mortgage, whatever it is.
Everything going on right now is an assault on you and your family, your children and their grandchildren, your grandchildren, and their effort to acquire individual wealth.
When that happens, fewer and fewer people own property.
And private property, the ownership of private property, is as fundamental to freedom as is the First Amendment to our Constitution.
All ten amendments are under assault.
The people of this country got hoodwinked and bamboozled, and have elected an international socialist who has no particular desire or love or appreciation for American exceptionalism.
And he's marching through with all the weapons at his disposal.
Acorn, a Democrat majority in Congress, a compliant media, and science.
The four corners of deceit.
Academia, government, science, and media.
We'll be back.
Stay with us, folks.
Couple more climate stories, uh, just the headline here.
United Nations scientists are turning on each other.
A United Nations scientist declares climate gate colleagues Mann Jones and Ronsdorf should be barred from the IPCC process.
They are not credible anymore.
Aha!
So a UN scientist finally realizes what's happening here, and so these three guys, it looks like the UN wants to throw them overboard in order to save the whole movement.
Because remember now the UN's climate science guy is out there, you're getting these rogue emails.
I mean, I get what it doesn't, that doesn't change the science here.
Of course it changes, they're making it up.
The uh Hadley unit, the CRU at East Anglia was the basis for the IPCC.
You cannot throw out Phil Jones, Michael Mann, or Ramsdorf without throwing out the whole IPCC.
So if they're if the UN scientists are going to throw these guys out, they got to throw out the whole organization because it's all corrupt, it's all fabricated on lies, none of it is true.
The story right here I have is also just breaking on Fox News by George Russell.
Environmentalism should be regarded on the same level with religion as the only compelling value-based narrative available to humanity.
That, according to a paper written two years ago to influence the future strategy of the United Nations environmental program, UNEP, the world's would-be environmental watchdog.
I believe uh, ladies and gentlemen, not to pat myself on the back, but I believe it was I early on, Who advised looking at the environmental movement as just another religion?
They can't prove it.
It requires total faith.
In fact, I remember even I'd said that, and I remember uh a speech that I quoted from Michael Crichton, in which he had the most startling comparison to the first the first verses of Genesis about how the nation,
about the world was created by God, Garden of Eden, purity, bliss, happiness, peace, love, plenty, abundant, wonderful, and then people came along and corrupted it, particularly a woman.
Eve.
And ever since then, everything's been corrupt.
He said the environmental movement has every element in it, including the Book of Revelation, which is the ultimate destruction of the planet.
It is a religion, and now the United Nations, in a paper two years ago, admits it.
Environmentalism should be regarded on the same level with religion, quote now, as the only compelling value-based narrative available to humanity.
The only compelling value-based narrative available to humanity.
This is in a paper written two years ago to influence the future strategy of the United Nations environmental program, the world's would-be environmental watchdog.
They admit it.
It is a religion.
Sound bites, couple real quick ones here.
This is on the McGlaucklin group Sunday morning.
Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan and Eleanor Clift have this very brief exchange about climate change.
I think I'm with Rush on this when uh we hope.
Rush Limbaugh, we hope it fails.
I forgot.
I I I told Mike to play the right sign, but I cued the wrong.
Grab three since I talked about it.
Uh this is this is Buchanan and Clift.
There's no known proof that it's because of man.
There's no known proof there's God either.
There's no known proof that there's God either.
How much proof do you need, Pat?
Religion does not pretend to be science.
Science is now pretending to be religion.
You see how easy here's Paul Krugman.
Now, this guy's a genuine idiot.
This was on this week, during the round table.
He said this about the emails from East Anglia University.
All these emails, um, people have never seen what academic discussion looks like.
There's not a single smoking gun in there.
There's nothing in there.
And the travesty is that people are not able to explain why the fact that 1998 was a very warm year uh doesn't actually mean that global warming has stopped.
Here is a respected economist in the New York Times proving his absolute idiocy.
Ah, we just don't know.
I mean, scientists use the word trick and they send emails to each other.
We just don't know what a an academic discussion looks like.
We're too stupid, too stupid to understand what we've read.
It's it's sort of like saying, hey, look.
Of course politicians steal.
They're politicians.
What's the big deal?
It's no different than that.
Oh, it's a course scientists lie.
That's what they do.
You just not smart enough to understand what it all means.
And then during the round table, George Will spoke with Koki Roberts.
He said, is there a larger venture cap venture capital firm in this country than the energy department of this government, which right now is sending out billions and billions of dollars in speculation on green energy?
But I think that's something that the American people want.
I mean, we we want green jobs.
We don't want to see those polar bears, you know, on those ice flows uh without any ice around them.
Umerts speaking for liberals everywhere.
Forget the evidence.
Forget the evidence we need green jobs, will support cap and tax to save the polar bears.
This is what an academic discussion looks like.
George Will's an academic, Cokey Roberts fashioned himself as one.
Here's an academic discussion.
Of course the American people want that.
Uh we want green jobs.
There aren't any.
There's no such thing.
We don't want to see the polar bears on ice flows with only those are doctored pictures, Cokey.
There are.
And besides, a polar bear can swim 60 miles.
Sometimes they like to frolic, but those are not melting glaciers.
How is it that we know this?
And the supposedly smart media people around us just are as ignorant as a one-year-old.
Now remember, folks, it is the warmers' theory.
These people that say there's man-made global warming, they're the ones who have to come up with the proof.
They have to prove it.
They have to prove their theory, and they can't.
The real travesty of these uh emails is that they show they refuse to show their evidence.
They will not show their evidence because it doesn't prove their theory.
