Time Text
And we're back, El Rushbow, meeting and surpassing and redefining a lot of things.
Greatness, success, hip.
While meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day here on the one and only EIB network.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882, the email address Lrushball at EIBNet.com.
Look, the truth is, folks, most of us, most of us know that the two parties are not the same.
We're hearing a lot from the same people or thinking that surrounded the Ross Perot effort.
Or the reform party effort more generally.
It seems that some people are trying to tap into this group and then claim it represents most conservatives, libertarians, republicans, when in fact it doesn't.
We've always had populist movements in this country on the left and the right.
But we are not populists.
We're constitutionalists.
We are conservatives.
And when a majority of us are in control of the Republican Party, the Republican Party wins.
But it's not going to win if there's a third party.
Loneliness is like a disease, says Rob Stein from the Washington Post.
One of his editor here is a woman.
Well, you know, the chicken of the news.
Loneliness is like a disease, and what's worse, it's contagious.
Now, here again, you know, I I run into problems here because I don't feel things I think them.
Well, I mean, I have feelings, but I I don't arrive at intellectual conclusions by verses uh by virtue of thoughts.
So I have uh in a very well-developed sense of logic, which threatens many people, and of common sense, which also threatens people.
And I just don't understand how what is loneliness.
Would somebody tell me on my staff, give me a give me your one word what if it was.
Loneliness is you feel alone.
You want people around you.
But when you're lonely, you being lonely requires you to be by yourself, right?
So I don't know how you can spread anything when you're by yourself.
Unless maybe you can make your dog lonely, but I've never seen it happen.
Or your cat lonely, but I've I've never seen it happen.
So the whole story seems to be a false premise.
Well, somebody went out there and studied it.
Although it may sound counterintuitive, loneliness can spread from one person to another, according to research being released today that underscores the power of one's emotions to affect friends, family, and neighbors.
The federally funded analysis of data collected from more than 4,000 people over ten years found that lonely people increase the chances that someone they know will start to feel alone, and that the solitary feeling can spread one more degree of separation, causing a friend of a friend or even the sibling of a friend to feel desolate.
Loneliness can be transmitted, said John Cachapo, a University of Chicago shrink psychologist, who led the study being published in the December issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
Loneliness is not just the property of an individual.
It can be transmitted across people, even people you don't have direct contact with.
It's not just counterintuitive.
It's senseless.
It is illogical.
71% are angry at the federal government, according to Rasmussen, up five points, up five points.
Since September, 71% of voters nationwide say they are at least somewhat angry about the current policies of the federal government.
And that figure includes 46% who are very angry.
Sorry.
Yeah, makes sense, doesn't it?
We all be mad.
Everybody should be angry about what's happening.
The surprising thing to me in this poll is that there are 10% of the people who are totally happy.
Actually, it's not surprising.
It's actually good.
It tells you what the percentage of liberals is and leftist radicals.
10%.
Audio sound bites.
Back to Enrea Mitchell, NBC News in Washington.
She interviewed National Security Council Chief of Staff Dennis McDonough, works for Obama.
He's out there setting the stage for Obama's West Point speech tonight by trashing Bush and Cheney.
She said Jack Mertha is just back from Afghanistan, and he says, I'm still very nervous about this whole thing.
If you had 10 years, it might work.
If you had five years, you could make a difference.
But you don't have that long.
He also mentioned to Politico, how do we define victory?
How can you make it work?
And how do you define victory at the White House?
The bottom line is how we define uh good enough here is to make sure that there's not a safe haven for Al Qaeda to go back to and use to plot against our interests, uh, our allies, and even against uh the homeland here in the United States.
So we're very focused on exactly that.
What what what what kind of leaders won't define victory?
We're kind of focused on what good enough here uh to make sure that there's a not a safe haven for Al Qaeda to go to.
That's what's good enough.
If you there's a story I have here the uh Wall Street Journal combined with another story.
The number of private sector people who are in the Obama cabinet is lower than any administration in decades.
It's just striking, and this guy's obviously one of these eggheads from the Ivy League.
Here it is.
Here it is.
And the and the Wall Street Journal has a companion story to it here.
White House business leaders split on how to create jobs.
By the way, the big jobs summit is coming up on Thursday.
The Obama administration, U.S. business leaders will meet at the White House this week.
Now remember, Obama said this is not about job creation.
The jobs summit is not about job creation.
Afghanistan's not about victory.
Anyway, business leaders, the Obama administration are going to meet at the White House this week to ponder ways to boost employment.
Their ideas, though, don't overlap very much.
Businesses of all sizes are brimming with proposals they say would spur economic growth.
The most commonly voiced are tax cuts and boosting access to credit.
The White House wants to discuss job growth in the clean tech sector and shifting some stimulus spending to infrastructure projects, which it was I thought that was the original purpose.
Infrastructure project.
I thought that's what it was all about.
See, this the stimulus is just a slush fund, which I'm going to put in perspective here in just a second for you.
TARP is just a slush fund, and this is how they intend to get past any poll problems on election day for for Democrats.
So we got a 10.2% unemployment rate, the worst since 1982.
It's emerging as the administration's biggest domestic challenge, a threat to the weak economic recovery, and Democrats hold on Congress, but many of the nostrums floated by business would increase spending or reduce tax receipts, unpalatable moves for the White House, as the nation's huge deficit becomes a political liability.
One way you could close the deficit or reduce it is to uh lower taxes.
That happens to work every time it's tried.
At any rate, there's a chart here from J.P. Morgan Research.
Examines the private private prior uh prior private sector experience of cabinet officials since 1900 that one might expect a president to turn to in seeking advice about helping the economy.
It includes secretaries of state, commerce, treasury, agriculture, interior, labor, transportation, energy, housing, urban development, and excludes Postmaster General, Navy, War, Health, Education, Welfare, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security.
432 cabinet members in all.
The percentage of cabinet appointments in the Obama administration, who have private sector experience, is 8%.
Under George W. Bush, it was 55%.
Under Clinton, about 37%.
Under uh George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, rather, uh 43, it was 58%.
Under George H.W. Bush, uh, about 52%.
Under Reagan, 58%.
Eisenhower, 59%.
Kennedy about 30%.
LBJ, about 46%.
Nixon, 53%.
Carter, about 30%.
Obama, 8%.
When you consider that public sector employment has ranged since the 1950s at between 15% and 19% of the population.
That makeup of the current cabinet, over 90% of its prior experience in the public sector, is remarkable.
Only 8% of the 432 cabinet members in the Obama administration have any kind of private sector experience.
So this is what I meant earlier when I said the Democrat Party has found its way and they're using it.
They're on their way.
This is a bunch of people who have had disdain for the private sector.
They blame it for all of the ills and the immorality and the and the discrimination and the uh inequality and the unfairness.
And they look at themselves as the only people who can bring fairness, equality, uh, non-discrimination, and uh and all of that.
Because they know better.
They're smart people.
They're the good people.
They know much better than we do.
And we're seeing what happens when you have people who have no respect for, no love for, and no experience in the private sector.
We'll be right back.
I have been looking for a way, uh, ladies and gentlemen, by the way, uh, just watching uh the NSNBC, Tiger Woods is he gonna have problems with his endorsements here because of this uh because of this episode.
Then they ran a graphic that said he's the first athlete to earn one billion dollars.
And I said, he's only got about 400 million of it.
I mean, the rest of it went to taxes and so forth, not that big a deal.
If I ever earned a billion dollars, that I would be six hundred billion dollars in cumulative taxes he's gonna pay on that billion dollars if in fact he's uh earned it.
At any rate, I've been looking for a way, ladies and gentlemen.
Did he really say it's only got four hundred million?
Yeah, I said that.
Okay, um looking for ways here to illustrate and dramatize the porculus, just how much money $800 billion really is.
And of course, we've we're told we've got uh a couple hundred billion in TARP money that hasn't been spent.
So we've got basically a trillion dollars flush fund for the executive branch Obama to use.
Now, even the liberals in Congress, and even some in the state-controlled media were shocked when they learned that Mary Landry was bribed with $300 million for her yes vote on Obamacare.
But even that is chump change.
The liberals have much, much street money to buy votes now.
And that more than anything threatens our democracy.
Look at it this way.
The stimulus that did not stimulate has enough money in it to give one billion dollars, billion with a B, to every Democrat senator, every Democrat member of the House, every governor, one billion dollars each, and not spend half the stimulus money.
If you add tarp into it, maybe just a little over half.
Now we hear so much about the dangers of money in politics.
I have news for you.
It's not the five or ten million dollars a lobbyist tosses around, it's the hundreds of billions the liberals use to buy votes to buy influence, buying Congress, buying the auto industry, buying the banking industry, and soon the health care industry.
The liberals are looting Fort Knox and hardly anybody seems to care.
Well, I do, and I know you do too.
A lot of people that the i i the on the left doesn't care, but the polling data indicates that Americans are getting fed up with this.
71% are very angry.
Yeah, that was 300 million dollars to Landrew, but she could have gotten a billion.
And there are ways for Obama to give that money to these people.
There are ways for that money to get to them, under supposedly and in supposedly official ways.
That can be used for re-election campaigns.
Is there ace in the hole against plummeting poll numbers?
All right, to the audio sound bites, PBS Charlie Rose show.
Some interesting sound bites from uh last night.
First up, interviewed John Podesta, the former Clinton chief of staff, who now runs some liberal far left radical think tank.
And Charlie Rose said some say the president cannot afford to lose on this one health care reform.
Politically, the stakes are enormous for the president.
I think if he does lose, uh, you know, if the if the Senate cannot complete action, I think there'll be tremendous disappointment, particularly amongst Democrats in his own base.
We saw that uh without question uh when President Clinton tried to get health care passed and was unable to do so, and then the result was a disastrous election, midterm election in 1994.
And I guess I wouldn't predict exactly the same thing, but I think there'll be enormous disappointment if he can't uh succeed in getting health care reform done.
You know, th these guys purposely misread the 94 results.
It was because Clinton tried.
It was because Clinton tried and Hillary who was not likable.
It's because they tried to take over one sixth of the economy that they lost the election, plus some brilliant strategizing on the Republican side in nationalizing house races, plus the public finally got fed up with 40 years of scandal and corruption with the Democrats running the place.
The House Bank, the House Post Office, and then of course there was the uh the Rush Limbaugh factor.
So there were a lot of factors here, but it wasn't that they didn't get it passed, it's that they tried for it.
If they do get this passed, they are going to pay a price like they can't believe.
Now, this is funny.
These people are still trying to figure out who exactly they put in the White House.
They should stop reading and quoting each other and look at what he does.
Charlie Rose last night, a montage of Charlie Jeff Zelony of the New York Times, Jake Tapper talking about President Obama.
Maureen Dow said he seemed static.
Tom Friedman has said there is no narrative that has been articulated well.
What's the overall impression?
There's a sense of uh weariness.
John Harris wrote in Politico, he thinks he's playing with monopoly money.
There's no question that uh spending is the biggest issue.
Too much Leonard Nemoy.
His intellectuality has contributed to a growing critique that decisions are detached from rock bottom principles.
There is something to that, President Obama lives very much in his head.
He's a pushover.
He is a patsy with foreign governments.
Is he a patse?
Perhaps some people here might say that.
At the end of this week, we will know what about this president.
We will know if his persuasive abilities that we saw on the campaign, does his powers of uh persuasion still exist to bring people along?
What does he have to do to get that?
Do you believe this?
Persuasive powers.
Have you looked at the polls?
Have you guys looked at your own polls?
Persuasive powers.
Using the military, the cadets at the West Point Military Academy as props.
What has he got to do?
These guys are wringing their hands over what each other are writing and saying.
Maureen Dowd says this.
Uh Tom Friedman says that what do you think about?
Politico says, what do you get at?
Why don't you watch him?
Instead of reading all your buddies here.
This reminds me of Charlie Rose and Brokaw back in 2008, October 29th.
I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.
No, I don't know how he really sees where China is.
We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.
I don't really know.
And do we know anything about the people who are advising them?
You know, it's an interesting question.
He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational speeches.
I don't know what books he's read.
What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?
There's a lot about him we don't know.
Remember that we just cracked I I love that.
I crack up every time.
And now they're starting to go through it again.
Well, who is this guy?
They still have his persuasive power.
Yeah, he lives a lot in his head.
Uh yeah, we well, you know, wringing their hands over what Maureen Dodd says or what Thomas Friedman said.
Uh that's why they are behind the curve.
Okay, folks, lifelong time, you're networking, you're posting resumes at job search websites, you're filling out countless applications.
And the more exposure you get, the better your chances of landing a job, but more exposure means more personal information's out there, possibly increasing the risk of identity theft.
And authorities are now telling us that uh crooks can skim driver's license and social security numbers from the paper and digital trail left behind after the first paycheck is cashed.
The damage caused by identity theft in 2008 was 48 million dollars on average 300 to 600 is lost in a typical incident.
Nobody's gonna be able to permanently stop it.
But when I see stories like this, and I keep I keep track of them.
It's known as snurdly, when he sees them, and he gives me these things life lock exclamation point.
And he says he can't believe that people still don't have life lock.
Uh when he reads the stories.
Why would you risk taking chances with your money, with your time, your reputation?
You can have life lock for just ten dollars a month.
Actually, it's gonna be less than $10 a month because when you mention my name, you will save an additional ten percent.
$800, 440-4833, and uh the promo code is Rush.
Whenever you see a promo code for anything, just use rush.
I guarantee you magic will happen.
But for life lock, it's 800-440-4833.
And the offer code, the promo code is rush.
Howard Dean, the argument between capitalism and socialism is over, he says.
Breaking news from the state controlled associated press.
Britain's University of East Anglia says the director of its prestigious climatic research unit is stepping down, pending an investigation into allegations he overstated the case for man-made climate change.
The university says that Phil Jones will relinquish his position until the completion of an independent review into allegations that he worked to alter the way in which global temperature data were presented.
And he did.
It is, I mean, you read these emails, and it's clear that oh my gosh, if this gets out, we're screwed.
That's what all of these emails mean.
The allegations have been made after, of course, these um emails uh got out.
And also Michael Mann at Penn State University is being investigated by Penn State University.
Lord Moncton, who's been making speeches and urging people to get their minds right on global warming says prosecute these people.
He's a former Thatcher advisor.
Prosecute Climate Gate.
He's issued a devastating new paper.
Christopher Moncton revealing the sheer scale and scope of the scientific fraud behind the compilation of the world's temperature data.
Climate gate caught green-handed, is the title of the report.
All right, couple of soundbites here, then we'll get to your uh your phone calls.
Howard Dean, April the 5th, 2009, has just surfaced.
He was uh in Paris and said this.
Capitalism is always going to think about just because capitalism represents part of human nature.
But the other part of human nature is communitarian.
The debate for the new generations instead of capitalism or socialism.
We're gonna have both, and then which proportion of each should we have in order to make this all work?
So he's essentially saying here that the argument between capitalism and socialism is over.
This is what the Democrats really believe, and they're content with saying this across the pond.
Can you imagine if if the Democrats had said this at all during the 2008 presidential campaign?
Capitalism, it's seen it's it's last day.
Socialism is where we're headed.
Communitarianism.
The universe of lies.
But when they think they are with friends, uh, like Western socialist democracies like Paris or France, then uh they firmly believe they're with Friends and they can utter what they truly believe.
What's the angst in there, snurdly?
Communitarianism.
Well, you know what a commune is.
Okay, think of the original story of Thanksgiving.
It this just it's it's uh like communism, commune, communitarianism.
It's it's uh uh it's it's it is a word.
Communitarian is somebody who believes in a commune.
And so communitarianism is the belief in a commune or communism, and means organizers.
A communitarian is what Obama is.
Organizers, community organizers.
Community, commune communism.
Mao marks.
It's all in there.
Now you you will remember I was in Los Angeles in that is past summer.
I forget when it was.
But I did many, many things on that trip out there.
I was uh four days, I did oh family guy did the family guy, and I also taped a two-hour interview, or it turned out to be two hours with William Shatner for a show he has on the biography channel called Shatner's Raw Nerve.
It is going to be the premier episode, the debut episode of the season in January.
A personal conversation with me, and I uh I I think the show is a half hour.
Uh I don't know how they're gonna edit this down, but they have put out a promo, and here is the audio from the promo that they are running.
Here's my premise, and you agree with it or not, that if you have money, you're gonna get health care.
If you don't have money, it's more difficult.
If you have money, you're gonna get a house on the beach.
If you don't have money, you're gonna live in a bungalow somewhere.
That's right, but we're talking about health care.
What's the difference?
The difference is we're talking about health care.
No, not a house in a bungalow.
You're assuming that there's some morally superior aspect of health care than there is to a house.
I'm not moral at all.
I want to keep the subject for the moment on the health care thing.
All right.
All right.
So now it's the health care.
I'm talking about healthcare work.
Okay, so talk about health care.
So isn't the premise, isn't this valid that the health care system today is breaking the country?
No, it's not.
I don't believe it is.
And if it's told that it is, of course we're told that.
But that's a way to get us to act like sheep and go along with the.
Well, but how do you know that?
That's you know the subtotal of what I want to ask you politically is how do you know?
It's my job, it's my wife, it's my career, it's my passion.
I've studied this stuff.
I want the best country we can have, and this is not the way to get it.
We're going backwards.
That's the promo they are running from the interview with uh with William Shatner and his show, uh Shatner's Raw Nerve on the biography channel.
I enjoyed it.
Uh had a lot of fun.
I've been out to his house for Monday Night Football since.
Uh when I've when I've been uh been in Los Angeles.
All right, uh Dan in Buffalo, New York.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Oh, Rush, how are you?
Good one.
Um I hope I don't drop the ball.
Twenty years twenty-year listener with a few gaps here and there.
Um the uh topic I was talking about was you know, there are times when you seem to really understand the left.
And then there are times when uh you you you make there's a usage that drives me crazy.
Progressivism and liberalism are not the same thing.
Um progressivism is where the really hardline lefties are, and they use liberals.
They hide behind liberals.
Or you know, liberals have the the distinction is blurred over the years, but they're still way different cores of of mindsets and and people and outlooks and all this kind of thing.
And uh I spent I've been around the American left for 40 years, pretty steady, and I spent a good chunk of that as part of it.
And uh, you uh as as I a leftist you mean.
Yeah, I uh you know, I mean, I mean well, from like 17.
I it was a weird thing.
I was a good responsible Humphrey liberal.
I got sort of bent when I when I heard Well, I'm glad you said that.
What because in today's definitions, Hubert Humphrey would be a conservative ones.
Oh, sure, yeah.
I I I I tell people this stuff all the time.
But but here's the thing.
Um you know, I was involved in a few, you know, cause types of uh um events in the 60s.
Well, but I was in high school.
And um after I heard Symington blowing blowing off about the Vietnamese being behind the Viet Cong, and this was all right when the Viet Cong were already no longer on a political map.
I mean the North had taken over the the war in the South.
But Stuart Simington caused, you know, gave me a really uh hard turn, and then uh then I got recruited by the SDS kids at the UB.
S DS.
Well, that's his running a country now, essentially.
Well, I've been horrified to watch the watch these people climbing the ladder.
This the there's been a process.
By the way, hang on, for those of you in Rio Linda, SDS is the students for a Democrat society, and uh just think of uh think of uh Abby Hoffman, uh Tom Hayden, uh the Chicago Seven, Barack Obama.
Uh that they're all, you know, from the the sixties anti-war free speech so-called movement.
I sorry to interrupt you there.
No, I'm sorry.
I I was hanging out with the handful of kids who are organizing like rallies of tens of thousands in the street, and the and the people in the street were liberals.
They didn't know the hardline politics that were going on up at the top where I was sitting, you know, and and this is the same thing.
I know what you're saying.
And I'm uh I've uh you you are saying that there is a distinction between uh the uh the engine and the people in charge of the movement and the followers.
Yeah, well, the the f the the liberals, especially at that time, did not have the hostility to their own culture that in society that that the hardliners did.
And although a lot of that has been disseminated down into the liberals, there's still a different set of outlooks and a different core of people.
I will I will acknowledge that there are different variables involved, and I that there are several liberal people that call themselves Democrats, too, that really are duped, and it it's it's a it's a it's a minority of leftists that despise the country.
I don't believe the whole Democrat Party despises the country.
But I here's here's my point in saying that progressives and liberals are no different.
I'm into simplification here.
Uh I'm not I'm not running a nuanced college course on definitions.
I'm not a George Lackoff rhymes with.
Right now, based on existing reality, we are at greater risk than we have ever been internally.
Anybody who is voting for anybody else in the Democrat Party is an uh a liberal or a progressive.
The progressives call themselves that because liberal in politics is a dirty word.
It it's a harmful term.
They come up with all other kinds of labels for themselves to hide who they really are.
But who they really are in the modern parlance, modern lexicon is liberal.
If they are in the Democrat Party and voting for Democrats, if they don't know what they're doing, or if they do know what they're doing doesn't matter, they're causing the problem.
They are facilitating the problem.
They are all leftists.
Some may be further left than than uh than the the liberals you say are not as further far left as the progressives, but they're all voting Obama.
They're all voting for Harry Reid.
They have empowered Nancy Pelosi.
They made Howard uh uh how Harry Reid, they they empowered Howard Deed and become chairman of the Democrat Party, and he's out there saying that uh capitalism's dead, socialism is uh is the order of the day, and so forth.
So in in my attempt to communicate to people who think they're independent or who are moderate, who are not as ideological as I am, who I wish would become as ideological as I am.
The whole point of global warming debate is to say these people who have been caught engaging in fraud are the same people that are running the United States of America proposing health care.
I don't want to get into distinctions here because it doesn't it doesn't matter.
We have an ideological chasm in this country, and uh the the the left, the far left, the kook fringe, whatever, the the the combination of the American left is the greatest threat that we have right now.
And the only way that that that threat's gonna be understood is through a simple, understandable explanation of who those people are.
So that's why I say progressives just trying to cover up the fact.
They're leftists.
They're socialists, they're Maoists, they're Marxists.
They're all liberals, as far as I'm concerned.
They're all leftists.
I'm just trying to communicate that.
We'll be back.
Okay, Sturdley, look up.
Look at me.
From the Oxford English dictionary, Communitarian.
A member of a community formed to put into practice communistic or socialistic theories.
He didn't make up a word.
Howard Dean did not make up a word.
He intended to say communitarian.
It's another way of saying socialism.
Another way of saying communism.
And by the way, he's a leftist.
Now, this is this is hilarious.
This is from Yahoo News.
Palin book goes platinum.
Going rogue has gone platinum.
Harper Collins said that just two weeks after publication, her memoir has sold one million copies.
And then get this, Going Rogue joins a select club of million-selling political memoirs that include Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope, Hillary Rodman Clinton's Living History, and Bill Clinton's My Lie.
Funny, it's only liberal Democrats have sold one million books besides Sarah Palin.
Now here we were thinking conservative books are so popular that the HuffPol wants New York Times to have a segregated conservative book list.
I'll guarantee you that Obama's book or Hillary's book or Clinton's book did not sell two million books, a million books in two weeks.
Mark Levin's book has sold 1.1 million books.
I got the numbers today.
Yahoo News couldn't believe it.
Joins the sole sold a million.
Of course, my two sold two and a half million each.
But that was a long time ago.
People have forgotten that.
I got an email the other day from a guy who said he used Zycam and it worked.
And he didn't use it for six hours after he first detected symptoms.
I've always thought you got to use Zycam sooner than that.
But he said, he said that he went to eBay.
The outlaw gel swabs.
They're going for like a price, I can't remember what it is, but the price that they're going for at eBay is through the roof.
And I uh I'm not an eBay kind of culture.
I thought of an eBay auctioned off the Harry Reed letter, but I don't spend a lot of time at eBay looking for what's looking at what's for sale there.
But um anyway, Zycam does stop the common cold.
Well, it will arrest the severity and it will shorten the duration.
Um a lot of people say that it happens in 24 hours.
I'm not going to make that claim, but I will tell you if you catch it early enough, and use Zycam.
You should always have it with you.
There's a whole kind of bunch of different forms, uh, formulations and flavors.
Uh just look for big orange box at any store, any kind of CVS, drugstore, it's all over the place.
And the moment that you think you're coming down with a cold, a scratchy throat or whatever, start taking Zycam, follow the instructions, and you see if it doesn't reduce the severity of your cold.
See.
Now I've got a dilemma.
We are gonna run this.
Audio soundbite number eight, last Wednesday, CNN the Situation Room.
Susan Malvo talking to James Carville, climate gate.
Obviously, it's a political issue.
This is up to Congress.
What can President uh Obama do on this issue?
Well, uh, unfortunately, I hope I'm wrong, but not very much.
And I hope that talk radio and the pollution lobby are right, that global warming is not a problem, and 940 peer-reviewed scientific articles are wrong.
That's about all we can hope for, because right now I have to tell you that the pollution lobby uh and talk radio is winning this battle, and and the the will in the United States to do something about this is not what I think it should be, but that's the reality of the political situation as I see it right now.
The pollution lobby is winning.
They've spent hundreds of millions of dollars, and they're winning.
The pollution lobby, the pollution lobby.
James, join us in reality once in a while.
The whole thing's a fraud and a hoax, and even you have to know it now.
By the way, folks, I was wrong about something.
It's not an opinion that I was wrong about.
It's a fact, so it will not detract from my opinion on it.
But the William Shatner Show is this Sunday.
I thought it premiered in January, but it's this Sunday night, December the 6th at 10 p.m. on the biography channel.
And it's called Raw Nerve with uh with William Shatner.
And I I might actually watch it.
I don't usually watch myself on TV, but I might watch this to see how they took two hours of great TV and uh got rid of 90 minutes of it.
Not being critical.
Don't misunderstand.
See you tomorrow.
