	Let's go, let's go.
	Look, I've got a lot to do here today, only one hour remaining here.
	Broadcast excellence, L. Rushbaugh.
	I can't speak as fast as my mind is thinking.
	800 282-2882.
	If you want to be on the program, the email address, Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
	Speaking of global warming, I got again a plug here for Dr. Roy Spencer, his new book.
	He's our official climatologist.
	It's a great cover.
	The cover of this book is just superb.
	It's called The Great Global Warming Blunder.
	And about half of the blunder, half of the book, is a non-technical description of the peer-reviewed and soon-to-be-published research that Dr. Spencer has engaged in, which supports the opinion that a majority of Americans already hold, and that is that warming in recent decades is mostly due to a natural cycle in the climate system, not to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning.
	Now, this book is surprising in a lot of ways, in what it reveals about the so-called scientific community, and how they are revered when in fact they're idiots.
	My word, not Dr. Spencer's.
	He doesn't refer to colleagues in such terms, publicly anyway.
	But believe it or not, this potential natural explanation for recent warming.
	It may just be a cycle.
	What is so hard to believe about this?
	We've had ice ages.
	And we've had ice ages become warm periods.
	And there hasn't been one thing humanity has done to create either.
	And yet, scientists reject the cycles.
	Just like Obama and the regime are now trying to reject and end cycles in business.
	Believe it or not, this natural explanation for recent warming, just natural cycle, has never been seriously researched by climate scientists.
	The main reason they have ignored it is that they cannot think of what might have caused it.
	It's natural, yeah, but what's causing it to get warmer?
	There has to be something causing it, and they focus on us.
	You see, climate researchers are rather myopic.
	They think that the only way for global average temperatures to change is for the climate system to be forced externally by a change in the output of the sun, which they've rejected, or by a large volcanic eruption.
	These are events which occur external to the normal internal operational climate system.
	But what they have ignored is the potential for the climate system to cause its own climate change.
	Climate change is simply what the system does, owing to its complex, dynamic, chaotic internal behavior.
	And as Dr. Spencer has traveled the country, he has found that the public instinctively understands the possibility that there are natural climate cycles.
	Unfortunately, it's the climate experts who have difficulty grasping the concept.
	So this is why Dr. Spencer has written the book as taking his case to the public.
	The climate research community long ago took the wrong fork in the road.
	Dr. Spencer is afraid it might be too late for them to come back.
	So he's written the book, and he actually thinks that not under any illusion the book will settle scientific debate.
	In fact, he's looking to genuinely start it, because what has transpired state is not debate.
	It's been political propaganda and indoctrination.
	So the book is the great global warming blunder.
	I don't I know you can order it off Amazon.
	I don't know if it's actually in stores now or will be this week from what I've told.
	It's a great cover here.
	Let me let me zoom in here on the this is gonna be tough.
	Let's say I can zoom in here.
	For those of you watching on the Ditto Cam, there is the uh well-a printed version of the color.
	It's a giant iceberg, most of it submerged, is what that is.
	It's uh it's just a great, great, great cover.
	And of course, what's between the cover front and back is also superb as well.
	Uh the great global warming blunder, Dr. Roy Spencer, official climatologist to the EIB network.
	Did you know?
	Did you know that I I thought this was a story when I saw this relating to the ash cloud.
	It's not.
	Vacationing Is a human right, according to the guy who heads up the European Union.
	This is how we got nationalized health care, folks.
	It became a right.
	The European Union has declared a traveling, I'm sorry, declared traveling to be a human right.
	They are launching a scheme to subsidize vacations with taxpayer dollars for those too poor to afford their own trips.
	Antonio Tahani, the EU commissar for enterprises and industry, proposed a strategy that could cost European taxpayers hundreds of millions of euros a year, according to the Times of London.
	An overseas holiday used to be thought of as a reward for a year's hard work.
	But now Brussels has declared that tourism is a human right, and pensioners, youths, and those too poor to afford it should have their travel subsidized by the taxpayer.
	Under this scheme, British pensioners could be given cut price trips to Spain, while Greek teenagers could be taken around the disused mills in Manchester to experience the cultural diversity of Europe.
	So they're going to use these paid vacations as field trips for the youths to learn about things.
	The scheme, which could cost hundreds of millions of pounds a year, is intended to promote a sense of pride in European culture, bridge the North South divide in the continent, and prop up resorts in their off season.
	Tahani, who unveiled his plan last week at a ministerial conference in Madrid, believes the days when holidays were a luxury have gone.
	Traveling for tourism today is a right.
	The way we spend our holidays is a formidable indicator of our quality of life.
	So here we are.
	Not everybody can go on a vacation.
	It's not fair that that people can't go, so we're going to subsidize the people who can't.
	The European Union.
	This is how we got to where we are today on health care.
	It's uh Oh, Goldman Sachs, get folks.
	Folks, this is too rich.
	Goldman Sachs has hired Greg Craig.
	This is incestuous.
	Greg Craig was uh the lawyer for Elian Gonzalez's father, hired by Fidel Castro to make sure that Elian Gonzalez was returned to Cuba with his father.
	And of course, Janet Reno sent in the uh AFT guys in a full raid of that little house in Little Havana, took the little kid out of there and uh flew him back to Havana.
	Greg Craig was a lawyer.
	Greg Craig was also big in the Clinton administration before he was hired by Fidel Castro.
	Then Obama gets elected and he hires Greg Craig to be a White House counsel to lead the effort on closing Guantanamo Bay.
	But that got botched.
	Well, it didn't get botched.
	I mean, it was supposed to be closed, but it never was going to be closed, since it never got closed.
	Obama needed a fall guy.
	So Greg Craig got canned.
	And now Goldman Sachs has hired Greg Craig to defend them against this charge brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
	This is incestuous.
	This is all a scam.
	Every bit of it is a scam.
	If you missed the first hour of this program, I really don't want to take the time to repeat this, but the New York Post is reporting that if you go to Google and you search Goldman Sachs SEC, you know where you end up?
	The first website you're taken to is a White House website, a Barack Obama website urging you to support financial reform now.
	They bought the search field.
	They bought the search terms from Google.
	And well, Ron Emanuel and Robert Gibbs, oh, we didn't know about this.
	There's no collusion going on here.
	There's no conspiracy.
	Uh SEC is independent agency.
	We don't know what they're going to do and when they're going to do it.
	It's just a coincidence here that we had a website set up to take advantage of the charge to help us demonize Wall Street to get our regulatory reform bill passed.
	And Greg Craig now.
	Jeez.
	They look at I'm sure, Folks, the cynicism in the in the in the White House over just what a bunch of rubes that we must be in this country.
	They have got to look at us with so much contempt.
	Uh Greg Craig was also supposed, and we haven't heard any results of this.
	Greg Craig was Obama assigned Greg Craig when he's in the White House to investigate the Air Force One flyover of New York City.
	Do you remember that?
	The president.
	Well, how did this happen?
	Let me tell you something.
	Air Force One does not leave the ground without the president knowing about it.
	But he didn't know about it.
	So that's if some flunky took the fall in the travel office or somewhere, and Greg Craig was investigating how this happened.
	So Greg Craig botched that investigation.
	He botched closing Gitno, it gets canned, and now the uh Goldman Sachs people hire him, and the template on this is aha, Greg Craig gets his revenge.
	That's that's oh Snerdley, do not doubt you you doubted me yesterday when I told you that this is all the scam that Goldman's in on, and now you realize I was right.
	Don't doubt me when I say the reason I've hired Greg Craig is because they want to present him as a guy.
	He's got it out for the White House.
	White House let him go.
	He didn't do it right on Club Gitmo, and they got rid of him, and now Greg Craig, representing evil Goldman Sachs, has a chance to get even.
	That's the storyline.
	Don't doubt me on this.
	When in fact, they're all in bed, it's a giant bed.
	The sleep number people made them a giant bed.
	There's 15 of them in there.
	Sleep number is 69.
	Garrandam to you.
	Quick timeout.
	Be right back.
	Don't go away.
	So I get a note here from Dr. Spencer.
	Didn't you get the book?
	What are you holding up a printed picture and a cover?
	I sent you the book, didn't you get it?
	Yes, I got the, but there's the book right here.
	I just the book was out of reach.
	This show is improv.
	I didn't know I was going to do the book promo when I did the book promo.
	And a book was out of reach, and it's another reason why I turned the camera off during the breaks you can't see the.
	I mean, it's pure chaos in here during the breaks, but here's Dr. Spencer's book.
	It's a great cover, like I told you.
	And it's uh the Great Global Warming Blunder.
	How Mother Nature fooled the world's top climate scientists.
	Uh Greg Craig.
	Greg Craig cleared Obama from any dealings with Rod Bogoevich.
	Remember that?
	Greg Craig defended Kofi Anon in the oil for food scandal.
	You'd forgotten that, Snurley.
	Greg Craig was supposed to investigate the Air Force One flyover of New York City.
	Greg Craig represented Fidel Castro and Elion Gonzalez's father.
	Uh Greg Craig was big in the Clinton Gore recount, I think, at some point.
	Well, David Boyce, I'm not sure he was part of that, but it's a, like I said, folks, it's a giant bed these people are all sleeping in the fixer.
	And now, now he's a Goldman Sachs.
	Get even with the Obama administration.
	He's now sided with these evil Wall Street guys.
	Yeah.
	He may as well be a Republican now.
	Speaking of uh well, this weeks ago, on this very program behind this very microphone, I predicted the Senate banking bill was going to arrive chocked full of new bureaucracy, uh, another consumer protection agency within the Federal Reserve and so many rules that new innovations like debit cards and PayPal would never have seen the light of day.
	You're going to hear all the details, and when you do, ask yourself what's being done to look after Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack.
	Nobody's talking about that.
	These are two entities that had a whole lot to do with the mortgage mess, but not a single new law looking into addressing them.
	In fact, the whole premise of this law is bogus.
	It's based on the fact that the private sector caused the problem when in fact it's the government that caused the problem.
	This is another 1,300-page piece of legislation.
	Who's going to read it and give you the details?
	The researchers at the Heritage Foundation, for one.
	If you are one of the 640,000 active members of Heritage, this is another great example of how your membership dollars are hard at work.
	Experts are acquired, and then they are ensconced in Federed Heritage Foundation office where they think.
	It's a think tank.
	You walk in there and you see them think.
	If you've ever seen a great thinker think it's an amazing thing to watch.
	You never see great thinkers really think, but they do it at the Heritage Foundation.
	They ought to put a video out.
	When it's a think tank, they really need to put a video of all the thinkers just sitting in there thinking.
	It's an amazing sight.
	Heritage, all about limited government, freedom, and a healthy free market system.
	Every analysis on his banking bill and others conducted from that point of view.
	You want to be part of this group.
	You want to be a member, you want to have access to what these great thinkers think.
	And after they think it and they write it, and that's how you know what they're thinking.
	Membership starts at just a paltry $25 a year at AskHeritage.org.
	Ask heritage.org.
	I gotta get some phone calls in here.
	I mean, people have been waiting the whole show, and I but I got I got a great Megan Kelly Britt Hume soundbite that happened just a minute ago on me and Clinton regarding uh uh Waco and uh McVeigh and all that.
	We'll get to it.
	But let's go to the phones, 11 and Ohio.
	Greg, I'm glad you waited.
	I appreciate it.
	Thanks very much.
	Hey, Rush, 24-7 Ditto's to you.
	I uh I think you might need to add in the uh one of the Democrat ad agencies, the AARP, came out Monday with an ad that ties right into this whole uh banking regulation thing, and and it's it's got a quaint little folk singer song to it.
	And it's amazing and ironic that they had it ready to go Monday morning of this week.
	Oh, yeah.
	These people, that's just what this is what community organizers do.
	This is what Obama excels at.
	He's is incompetent running a country or any of that, at least for the good.
	But all of this is AR, it's it this is this is the health care bill redux.
	It's the exact thing.
	Remember, when I got in trouble out of the blue, Anthem Blue Cross jacked up rates 39%.
	And now, get in trouble in the banking bill, low and behold, here comes the SEC independent agency.
	Only Democrats voting to go forward on the charge.
	A fraud against Golden Sachs.
	Eve Wall Street in bed with Republican lobbyists.
	Uh and the very next day, Obama is ready for the big push.
	Honest Obe coming to the Cooper Union in New York on Thursday to begin the big push.
	It's it's a pattern that's repeating itself.
	And this is from uh the Huffing and Puffington Post.
	Republican leadership made it clear today that even if Democrats drop from regulatory reform legislation this uh $50 billion slush fund, they will still denounce the bill for including an unlimited bailout.
	The announcement, which came in the form of an email from John Boehner, is yet another indication the GOP is edging towards a major fight on regulatory reform and a left Democrats with a queasy feeling of deja vu.
	It is health care all over again.
	Uh God bless the Republicans, they're sticking together on this.
	Uh they really are, because this is again, this is not about financial regulatory reform.
	This is just like health care was not about health care.
	It's identical.
	The push, the deception.
	This is all about giving the administration, the regime.
	And folks, I am not amplifying this at all.
	This will give the regime total unchecked oversight over American businesses.
	And if the regime decides, just plain decides, that a business is risky by virtue of the way it's operating, they can fire everybody on the board, they can fire the management team, or they can shut the business down.
	All under the guise of making sure we don't have a repeat of what happened with the financial meltdown a year ago.
	It's all designed to make us feel comfortable.
	It's all designed to make us less anxious about our financial future, because of course the regime is looking out for us.
	Well, the regime has forgotten it's Bill Riley.
	Bill O'Reilly's looking out for us.
	The regime is not.
	The regime is trying to control us.
	Bill O'Reilly is looking out for us.
	Don't get the two confused.
	Here's that Megan Kelly soundbite with uh Britt Hume this afternoon about uh Clinton and his so-called war of words.
	We'll be watching to see uh whether there's another strike from Rush Limbaugh against the former presidents.
	That kind of stuff is good for Rush.
	Getting into a fight with Bill Clinton.
	Rush will have some sport with that, and his listeners will love it.
	Yeah, I yeah, uh except I didn't, I didn't start this.
	Another strike from me, I'm a radio guy.
	This is a former president of the United States who 15 years ago tried to blame me for the Oklahoma City bombing, and in fact, Dick Morris, I got this from from Ed Morrissey in hot air, uh posted it this afternoon about 1.30.
	Dick Morris told Sean Hannity that Bill Clinton may want to reflect on his own responsibilities for the Waco invasion, because Dick Morris said that Bill Clinton personally told him that Janet Reno's appointment to a second term as attorney general was to keep her quiet about the Waco invasion in 1993 that McVeigh claimed as his inspiration.
	Now, uh well, I don't know whether people uh how much credibility credibility they uh they place in uh Dick Morris.
	Uh but remember, I'll never forget the press going to Clinton and asking about this, and he's you gotta go talk Janet Reno.
	Uh that's Janet Reno deal.
	Uh go talk to the attorney general.
	I uh I didn't have much to do with this.
	And she did, she took the fall for it.
	She took the responsibility for it.
	So Clinton's out there 15 years later now trying to say all over again that my rhetoric, he still hasn't produced.
	I said, Mr. President, give me the words that inspired McVay to blow up the building.
	Nobody can give me the words because McKay's McVay's own words were that it was a bunch of things culminated by Waco that made him act, not anybody's words, but Clinton is still trying to drum up all this blame for us tea parties and so forth for something that hasn't happened again.
	It isn't funny.
	Don't worry, don't worry, I'm just thinking out loud.
	Don't worry, I'm in total control here.
	I just divulged a theory to the staff, and they're on the ceiling.
	Uh, with what I said, thinking it's the end of their employment because it's the end of me.
	If I were to say it publicly.
	Don't worry, just sharing it with uh with you guys.
	Welcome back.
	It's Rush Limbaugh.
	This is the EIB Network.
	Uh New York Times today.
	A difficult path in the Goldman case.
	Evidence that the Goldman charges aren't serious, that they're just meant as a prop, maybe.
	The case is shaky, the New York Times says.
	Perhaps the case is shaky on purpose.
	Meaning the case is not meant to win anything in court but to win in Congress.
	I mean, I'm not a legal expert.
	My dad was a lawyer.
	So I know more about the law than those of you whose dads was not a lawyer.
	But it seems suspicious that so many people so quickly doubt the substance of the suit.
	Listen to this.
	In accusing Goldman Sachs of defrauding investors, regulators are not only taking aim in a company with deep pockets and a will to fight, they're also pursuing an unusual claim that could be difficult to prove in court, legal experts said.
	Rather than asserting that Goldman misrepresented a product that was selling, the most commonly used grounds for securities fraud, the SEC said in a civil suit filed Friday that the investment bank misled customers about how that product was created.
	Several experts on securities law said fraud cases like this one, which focuses on context rather than content, are generally more difficult to win because it can be hard to persuade a jury that the missing information might have led buyers to walk away.
	So case is shaky.
	I say it's shaky on purpose.
	Meaning they don't intend to win this case.
	They're not going for a conviction.
	They don't care about what happens in court.
	They want this case tried in Congress.
	And they want the verdict to be in the vote.
	Members of Congress take.
	So you better get ready.
	You're never going to see a solution to this case in court.
	You might see an out-of-court settlement after a while.
	Slap on the wrist, little fine.
	Uh promise not to do it again, chuckle chuckle.
	And then Obama out there raising holy hell about what a bunch of thieves wall street bankers are while they're in that giant select comfort sleep number bed together on setting 69 a difficult path in Goldman case I i if this bill is passed if they s if they sign this bill into law shortly thereafter Goldman will settle.
	And as in they're giving up.
	Okay, Mr. Perry, you got us.
	Okay, we promise that.
	Oh, it's going to be such a...
	Folks, the show on this is going to be outdo health care.
	What a victory for our young man, child, little president, who has no experience in finance but brought down the titans of Wall Street.
	Brought down the titans of Wall Street.
	Oh, what a wonderful...
	Next, he's going to go work on the sea levels.
	Our young president.
	I'm telling you.
	I saw this coming last week, and I told you.
	And even on my own staff.
	You know, it's a wonder I'm still together.
	right all the time except at home and with my staff okay back to the phones.
	This you didn't misspell that that's right Daisha from Port Angeles, Washington.
	Welcome to the EIB network.
	Hi Rush truly an honor to speak to you.
	Thank you.
	Um I am a mother of two young children and I love the country as it was founded and our Constitution um also known as to the regime a domestic terrorist and um I was just thinking about the Tea Party movement a little bit this morning.
	Yes and um was thinking about their original Tea Party and their motto or their sign they would have held up was no taxation without representation.
	Yes.
	And in our country now we have come full circle to what our one of our big problems and our motto should be no representation without taxation.
	My husband and I um work three to four jobs between the two of us we're um medical professionals and um we paid a huge amount in taxes this year.
	We're not upper class by any means and um it just seems like you know you go back to Obama's um one of his statements of you know you have to have skin in the game and I hate to quote Obama but I mean truly fifty percent of this country doesn't have any skin in the game and they can sit back on the sidelines and tell my husband and I and our family how we need to be spending our money.
	And um there I'm not sure if this quote was actually Thomas Jefferson it's often um given to him I'm not sure of the exact quote but it's when you take from those who would work and give to those who wouldn't the democracy or in our case the republic ceases to exist.
	I don't know if it was Jefferson I know that I've said it uh 15,000 times in my own words it's plain old common sense and it it was it was a firm belief of all the founders in you know one way or another.
	You're you're you're exactly right.
	Now this those people uh that you're talking about they don't pay any income taxes they are paying other taxes.
	Are they paying federal taxes?
	Payroll taxes uh paying federal income taxes but they are paying social security taxes the FICA which none of us you know I'm a I'm in thirty years old you know and we'll never see any of that.
	You know so it's not if social security tax is just a tax it's not there's no guarantee with that yeah that's true.
	I mean this is a coming problem.
	I mean the money being spent now is money that was to have been earned by your children.
	Right.
	So but uh if if fifty percent of the population can take from those what is their what is their motive to ever elect anybody to exactly right exactly who I want to do anything but give them an entitlement.
	Exact I want to applaud you.
	This is this is progress.
	The fact you said you're thirty most people your age aren't thinking this way at all this is a Sign progress is taking place.
	This is a sign that in it within the arena of ideas within the citizenry.
	This couple all the polling data out there.
	We are we're we're winning the day on this intellectually and and uh I think emotionally too.
	So you keep it up, don't get discouraged.
	Uh this is because we're gonna need all of you.
	We're gonna need all of you to slow this down eventually and then and then turn it around.
	Like I have a companion story to what Daisha here was talking about, and it's from right here.
	From the local channel 5 eyeball news.
	Unemployment unemployment benefits may be adding to job seekers' laziness.
	Local West Palm Beach Channel 5.
	Eyeball News reporting that administrative assistant Vicky Fonseca says she wants to work, but she doesn't want to work just anywhere.
	I want good benefits, Fonseca said.
	I I I wouldn't want to work somewhere where I didn't feel comfortable.
	But some would say beggars shouldn't be choosers.
	Did somebody in local media actually say that?
	Uh-huh.
	When Uncle Sam is paying you $300 a week with virtually no strings attached, job seekers can afford to turn offers down, and Fonseca has.
	I had an offer, but it was in Broward County, Fonsec.
	It says too far from me.
	The pay rate's not going to be enough, so I'm not going.
	Career counselor Sue Romanos works her tail off to find the unemployed like Fonseca jobs.
	It's shocking, Romano said.
	I would never have believed it a year ago if you would have told me people be turning down jobs.
	Romanos has been the CEO of Career Exchange, an award-winning career placement agency that serves Broward and Dade counties for 21 years.
	She says that she's never seen unemployment benefits drag on like they are now.
	She says the benefits are crippling many of her candidates.
	The candidates have varying reasons for not wanting the job offered.
	It's not the right job, it's not the right salary.
	To tell you the truth, I think they're very happy collecting and not wanting to work.
	300 bucks a week, 15 grand a year for doing nothing, except making a show out of trying to find a job.
	In the long run, staying home so long is going to affect people, Romano said.
	Employers will look at them and see this is a sign of their behavior, and they're going to lose some of their skills.
	Anseca, who has been out of work three months, swears that won't be her as long as the job is a right fit.
	I wouldn't want to take some.
	What is this?
	After creaming people who refuse jobs, she's saying I wouldn't want to take something just to take it.
	Oh well.
	Unbelievable that this made the local eyeball news.
	Unemployment benefits may be adding to job seekers' laziness.
	You've got to understand, folks, this is Palm Beach County where laziness is a virtue.
	You know, not knowing how to vote on a butterfly ballot is a sign of a high IQ.
	And a reason to feel sorry for you.
	And now they're they're local eyeball news is doing stories ripping the viewers.
	There's a bunch of lazy slobs out there unwilling to travel 30 miles to go to work.
	Oh well, for those of you who are working and you are busy producing things, particularly documents or pictures, uh, maybe have to do with work or even just personal, you're putting them on your computer.
	Let's say you're even new to computers.
	Do you know what backing it up means?
	Do you know why you should back up your computer?
	Didn't when you bought it, did anybody tell you about backing it up?
	And did you okay, okay, I'll get to that later.
	I gotta figure out how to learn this thing.
	Even if you are a veteran computer user, have you really taken backing up your hard drive seriously?
	Yeah, it's not gonna happen to me.
	Uh I'm computer never goes anywhere, and if I take care of it, it's going to happen to you.
	You are going to lose the data on your hard drive.
	Now you say you never lose the data on your TV.
	You never lose the data in your dishwasher.
	Well, your TV and dishwasher don't have data to lose.
	But you could lose the data on your TiVo, it's a hard drive.
	What if you don't have that backed up?
	Or do you?
	The point is with your computer, you're putting things that are crucial to your life on it more and more every day.

	Okay, we go to the audio sound bites.
	I got I I this we have Dick Morris last night with uh with Sean Hannity on on Fox.
	This is a discussion about the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, and uh uh nobody has said this until Dick Morris kicked the can down the road last night.
	And I have to think that slick Willie is beat red or was last night when he heard this.
	Bill Clinton orchestrated that takeover, and in fact, was so ashamed about what he did in Waco that he was not going to appoint Janet Reno to a second four-year term.
	And she told him in a meeting right before the inauguration day for his new term that if you don't appoint me, I'm gonna tell the truth about Waco.
	And that forced Clinton's hand in reappointing her.
	It's never been said before.
	I think that President Clinton might want to examine his own connection with the Oklahoma City bombing in terms of Waco, Clinton told me that I couldn't not appoint Reno because she would have turned on me over Waco.
	So, what Dick Morris is saying here is that Clinton ordered the invasion.
	And I I remember the the media shortly after the invasion, with the images on TV that branch Dividian compound being engulfed in flames.
	Uh yeah, you gotta go talk to Janarina about that.
	I really don't know anything about it.
	Attorney General, that was her call.
	Uh her mission.
	Uh, she's one order to save children in there.
	It didn't quite work out that way, but it's her call.
	And now Dick Morris.
	This is one of the things that I've always marveled as how everything in that administration was kept under wraps.
	That's the one administration where not one tell-all was written.
	And now here's Morris kicking this down the can, they're kicking the can down the road on this, and I'm fascinated by it.
	Furthermore, let's go to Andrew Cohut of the Pew Center.
	He was on the news hour with Jim Lara, Margaret Warner was talking to him last night.
	This level of rancor and distrust toward the government, how bad is it out there?
	It's one of the low points of the past 40 years.
	In the post-Vietnam, post-Watergate era, from the 70s onwards, Americans are generally skeptical about government, often distrustful.
	But 22% of Americans say they trust government to do what's right all or most of the time.
	You're at the level of the mid-1990s.
	You're at the level, close to the level of the late 70s, the Jimmy Carter, let's call it the Jimmy Carter Malaysia era.
	Right.
	So now the Margaret Warner says, well, as we know, today's the 15th anniversary of Oklahoma City bombing.
	Now, President Clinton last week talking about the rhetoric, not about how people feel he found the climate was similar to pre-Oklahoma City bombing.
	Do you find that in people's feelings about government today?
	It's very tempting to say that the poll findings here are a measure of the degree of dangerous extremism.
	But I think you have to take some pause.
	99.999% of these people who say they're angry are not violent and disposed to violence.
	People are entitled to express angry opinions.
	Whoa!
	Andrew Cohut throwing cold water on Clinton's theory that it is I with my persuasive words, uh inspiring you in the Tea Party to go blow up buildings which you haven't done.
	And here's Andrew Cole.
	No, no, no, no.
	I'm sorry, but you know, 99.999% of these people that say they're angry are not violent.
	They're not disposed to violence.
	So slick Willie has got to be swimming here.
	First, you got Dick Morris saying he's responsible for the Waco invasion.
	And now the respected Andrew Cohot at the Pew Center saying that the Tea Party people are not prone to violence at all.
	I have just been reading on the computer Clinton's version of the Waco invasion in his book My Lie uh Life.
	And it is incredible.
	I'm uh I'll I'll share with you tomorrow the relevant excerpts because it and I'll do it in Clinton's voice.
	Because it runs so counter to what Dick Morris has said and uh and even Reno said.
	But he basically blames the branch Davidians for starting the fire and and making it worse by opening the windows to get the tear gas out that the FBI had fired in there.
	But he said he just turned on the TV and saw that happening, had no idea it had happened.
	Oh, wait till you hear this tomorrow.
