Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Yes, indeed.
America's anchor man is away, and this is your undocumented anchor man, Mark Stein sitting in, undocumented and loving it.
And uh remember it's uh racist to inquire about my immigration status, even though large parts of my body are overwhelmingly white, so don't even think about it.
Uh Hurricane Earl, Hurricane Earl is uh is uh is coming.
I I said yesterday I found it hard to take seriously uh a hurricane called uh Earl.
It's a bit like being called uh uh Hurricane Bud.
Uh but apparently after Hurricane Earl, Hurricane Fiona is due to hit.
Hurricane Fiona.
That's uh I think that sounds nice.
Sounds like a nice uh upper middle class English horsey gal, uh of Hurricane Fiona.
I think she dated Prince Edward in the nineties.
And then after that, it gets better and better because after Hurricane Fiona, we're getting Hurricane Gaston.
Uh what's the uh was uh what's the French for hurricane?
Um Oh god this will come to me.
Uh again.
Uh Gaston will be breezing in.
A hurricane so we we're getting Hurricane Earl, All-American Hurricane Earl, and then Hurricane Fiona, and then Hurricane Gaston will be breezing in in his sophisticated Gallic way and be totaling the Eastern Seaboard in it now.
And um uh I I should clarify yesterday I when I was talking about uh Maxine Waters had objected to the racist names of hurricanes.
It was, in fact, her fellow Congresswoman, Sheila Jackson Lee, who uh had objected to the racist names that we only gave white names uh to hurricans.
And uh I hadn't actually given this any thought, but when you look at the lineup this season, Hurricane Earl, then Hurricane Fiona and Hurricane Gaston.
I'm beginning to think Sheila Jackson Lee may actually have a point and that the racist nomenclature of uh of hurricanes is is really uh a a scandal in this country.
Uh her argument, as I recall it, is that blacks were being discriminated against because no destructive meteorological phenomena are giving a given African American names.
Uh, you know, the apparently uh the black community can't relate to some white-bred hurricane like Hurricane Andrew blowing in and uh tearing up the joint.
There are never any hurricane Leroys or Hurricane Latifas, and it's deeply racist and insulting uh to imply that only forces of nature with these effete wasp names uh are capable of inflicting billions of dollars of coastal damage.
Uh so we'll see what we'll see how it goes with Hurricane Earl, but I think the one to watch is Uragan Gaston.
Uh Gaston, who is a couple of hurricans behind Earl, and in his duplicitous French way, uh I think is just uh just gonna total the Eastern Seaboard.
So we'll keep an eye on that with our EIB uh Stormwatch uh tracking.
Uh keep an eye on Uhang Gaston uh as he uh as he sweeps uh as he sweeps in.
Uh uh good news from Joe Biden.
Joe Biden was talking about the economy.
Uh he goes, uh Joe Biden, this is Joe Biden on the economy.
We're turning this great ship of state around that was wandering out to sea and it's heading back to port.
Uh Mr. Vice President, uh the point of a ship is to be at sea.
It's to go places.
It's to be out there uh cruising through the waters.
You're saying we got nothing to worry about now, because the American economy is back in dry dock uh and being worked on by unionized workers indefinitely.
That's great news.
Um there is actually uh another uh observation on the economy.
The US economy is so bad that the chance of avoiding a double dip back uh a double dip back into recession may actually be pretty good.
This is from Bloomberg News.
Uh the argument uh being advanced by Ethan Harris, head of developed markets economics research at Bank of America, Merrill Bank of Amer I these are so amalgamated.
I can't I can't the name's too long to read.
Bank of America, Merrill Lynch and about eight other subsidiaries in uh in New York.
It's one of these supermerged mega banks now.
Ethan Harris says the sectors of the Economy that traditionally drive it into recession are already so depressed it's difficult to see them getting a lot worse.
In other words, all the indicators are so bad, they can't get any worse.
The experts are telling you this.
You don't have to worry about it.
They're right there at the bottom.
The needle is down at zero already.
It c it it can't it can't.
This is there's never been a better time to buy because they haven't invented a scale that is capable of showing things getting any worse than this.
The the needle is right at the bottom of the tank.
The tank is on empty.
You can't get below empty.
So this is as good as it's gonna get.
This is uh this is great news.
The economy is so kaput it can't get any more kaputter.
So now is the time uh is the time to buy.
The Russians comes to something when the Russians may be making more sense than anybody on this.
Russia's finance minister, Alexei Kudrin, has urged citizens to smoke and drink more to help lift tax revenues for spending on social services.
Uh this this is this is the uh this is the consum you know, the consumerism, uh getting the consumer market confidence going again, getting the economy going again.
We hear a lot of people talking about that in America, it's uh meant to my uh mean that you go out and you buy a new car or you buy a plasma TV, you go down to the mall.
Well, consumerism in uh Russia means you smoke and drink more.
Uh the Russians drink uh continuously, uh male life expectancy in Russia is uh I think about fifty-seven, fifty-eight, it's like on a par with Bangladesh.
Um and that's because they're they're like chugging down the vodka or Russian men are the unhealthiest, uh unhealthiest men on the planet.
They've got everything.
They've got everything.
Uh but fortunately they keel over at 57 and uh and drown in a pool of stagnant vodka on the bar counter uh and that absolves the Russian healthcare system for having to take care of them for the last 30 years of their life.
Smoking, every, you know, they how can the this finance minister says Russian Russians need to smoke and drink more.
They can't drink more.
They can't, it's not possible.
They can't smoke more.
If there was that that's how I knew there was nothing to this secondhand smoke thing, uh, because if there was anything to secondhand smoke, the whole of Finland would have keeled over and died from the secondhand smoke, wafting over from the Russian smoking uh all uh all uh all week long.
So uh I think we might uh usefully import this this uh this program here.
Um, you know, I think this is actually uh the easiest solution to social security.
Uh we could waste our time with complicated social security reform, but why not, why not?
Why not just make vodka tax deductible?
Uh and I think I think that is that is the kind of outside the box thinking that I want to see uh after the uh the Republicans take uh take Congress this November.
Pennsylvania, the capital city of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, uh has said that it will not make a 3.3 million municipal bond payment due in two weeks.
A decision that could move the Pennsylvania capital closer to bankruptcy.
Uh you know, a lot of us uh in the earlier in the summer were looking at Greece and uh comparing the United States with Greece.
I don't think it's actually really that useful because uh to compare Greece with the United States, but it is uh it is more useful to compare certain American states with certain member states of the European Union.
So Greece is uh like California, Pennsylvania isn't quite as bad.
Pennsylvania is like kind of Portugal.
Uh and and the question then becomes who is Germany in this scenario?
If California is Greece and Pennsylvania is Portugal, who is Germany?
Who is the one who gets stuck with the tab for bailing out all these other insolvent states?
Uh California has got uh innumerable uh municipalities.
Uh that that place uh Bell, California, the place where they've got the uh city manager on eight hundred thousand dollars a year, and the deputy city manager uh with his benefits that comes to one point five million dollars a year, and they uh and the his deputy city manager is on uh combined package of 1.2 million dollars a year, and the uh and the city is bankrupt.
The whole of California is like that.
The whole of California is like that.
This great state of New York that I'm broadcasting from, illegally, by the way, because I am, as I mentioned yesterday, I am in noncompliance with the New York State Bureau of Compliance.
So if in the course of the show uh you hear the door being kicked open and uh my voice gets all muffly, it's just the SWAT team pumping tear gas uh into the room to uh to take me out.
Come and get me, Governor Patterson, come and get me.
Um this uh this state, New York, and California, have uh are all but ungovernable now.
They have so abused any kind of fiscal responsibility.
And if you think you think you're a little pinprick on the map and you're in you're in one of the six or seven fiscally responsible states uh in in the Union, and that you're gonna escape what California and New York have done.
You can't.
They are like two corpulent gin-soaked trollops that have rolled over uh to rub bellies on the Mississippi and squash everything underneath them.
Uh that is what that is what is uh uh is uh is being done to uh the economy of this uh uh of this country.
So the capital of Pennsylvania uh skipped its uh bond payment uh and is uh and is going to be getting closer uh to bankruptcy.
We will uh we will talk about that.
We will talk about uh also later on the show today.
We will talk about uh this guy, Imam Rauf, uh the uh ground zero mosque guy.
He's a symbol of everything uh that's wrong with the way we're doing things.
Uh not because he's a Muslim, but because he's uh he's a freeloader.
Uh he's like he's like Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
He's like California, it's government money.
All he's done, every failed venture of his has government money.
Uh like I said yesterday, he's as American as Apple Pie in that respect.
He and his his wife, Daisy Daisy Daisy, have figured out that uh the way to make it in America is to get plugged into uh into government.
Now, you know, if Islam wants to take over the world, that's that's fine, but they could at least do it on their own dime.
Uh Nanny Bloomberg, the the Hectoring Mayor of New York, says he doesn't want to investigate the funding for the Ground Zero Mosque.
Okay, well, why don't we investigate the funding for Imam Rauf's uh lousy book?
According to uh human events, the State Department acquired three thousand copies of uh Imam Rauf's book, What's Right with Islam, uh, at a cost of nearly ten thousand dollars under something called the Cairo Regional Book Program.
The State Department hands out hundreds of copies of Imam Raf's book uh during his visit to Egypt last January and to his uh current three country tour that he's on at State Department expense.
Do you understand what this means?
You, the United States taxpayer are paying for Imam Ralph's book tour.
You're paying the United States taxpayer is paying for this guy's lousy vanity publishing venture.
Uh the we are an insolvent nation.
Uh if we are going to start cutting back the insane spending, can we not at least start with Imam Ralph's book tour?
Why is the State Department spending your money on Imam Rauf's book?
Why can't he sell his book the way the rest of us struggling authors have to do?
You know, we have to go do the lousy book tour saga, we have to uh we have to go on hate talk FM at two in the morning and plug the book uh to some guy who hasn't read it properly.
Why can't he do that?
Why is his book tour paid football by the United States taxpayer?
So we'll g we'll talk about Imam Rauf, we'll talk uh about uh where the economy's heading, and we will talk about strange words I never thought I'd utter, the Discovery Channel Bomber, and lots more straight ahead.
1-800-282-2882.
Mark Stein in for Rush on the EIB network.
Uh Rush is off golfing, uh taking his annual golf vacation, and he will be back live on Tuesday.
Um The Discovery Bomber, the Discovery Channel Bomber.
Um, you know, all of us like right-wing crazies are just like biting our tongues at the moment and uh trying trying not to surrender to the temptation here, because this is yet another story where uh we where something wacky happens uh and the assumption is always that it's some angry white male, angry white male, angry white tea party, rage, raging out of control, angry white male, and then of course it turns out to be uh just uh another left wing wacko.
You know, we had this uh with the uh Times Square bomber uh a couple of months back where uh Nanny Bloomberg, uh the minute they find a bomb in the minute they find a bomb in Times Square.
It's perfectly obvious to like ninety-nine point nine nine percent of the population of the planet would figure, oh, there's a bomb in Times Square.
You know, I wouldn't mind betting that's one of these kind of jihad type uh jihad type people who's like maybe been to a training camp in Pakistan, something like that.
That's what 99.99% of the planet figure out.
But America's ruling class, Nanny Bloomberg goes on TV and says, Well, uh we have no leads on suspects yet, but it would seem to me likely that it is someone uh who is concerned about the uh health care plan of the Obama administration.
Yes, yes, of course.
That would be me.
That would be me.
So if you can't get me for being in non-compliance with the uh New York State Bureau of Compliance, send the SWAT team round to get me for opposing the health care bill.
Nanny Bloomberg, of course, turned out to be wrong.
It turned out to be a guy, uh a uh uh uh a young Muslim guy from Pakistan, uh who wanted to uh, you know, do what one of the old death to the great Satan types.
But even actually, even then the media didn't want to uh go along with that version of events.
Remember he was behind with his mortgage payments in Connecticut.
Uh and so they were saying that in fact falling behind w falling falling behind with his mortgage payments had had driven him to uh d well or driven his car to Times Square and to park the car with the bomb in it.
Uh and that this was so it was nothing to do with any religion beginning with I and ending in slam, nothing to do with that.
This was like subprime terrorism.
It's a whole new thing, subprime terror terrorism.
People are being driven to it.
And uh and of course it's true, by the way, he had fallen behind with his mortgage payments.
If you take uh six men uh six months off to go to a jihadist uh training camp in Waziristan, it is actually hard to keep up your house payments.
The mail service from Waziristan when you mail in the check isn't terribly good.
Who knows?
He may have been trying to keep up and just uh, you know, four of the five checks just uh disappeared under the Waziristani postal off uh post office.
So we so there will always there's always uh the urge on the liberal side uh to look the other way.
It's like uh but if if with it with the angry right wing male, it's like this guy, uh the the Muslim cabbie just the other week.
Oh, that's the angry w right wing rage that's out there, and of course it turns out to be just some left wing wacko uh who took against this cabbie.
Now we have this guy.
HR made the point that this guy made a big mistake.
He put his manifesto up on the internet too early, because if he'd actually delayed time delayed it, we'd have had we'd have had all this stuff saying, well, you know, targeting the Discovery Channel.
That obviously sounds like the work of a a right wing hater, because like most of us right wing haters hate the Discovery Channel, those cute furry animals and all the stuff that got in there.
Uh they would we would have been ha hearing all about the right wing rage that is out there, that is out there.
Uh and in fact, of course, it turned out to be some nut uh who is influenced uh by uh this book My Ishmael by Daniel Quinn and by Al Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth, uh and who wants uh to prevent the world uh from having any more parasitic babies because uh human babies are d destroying the planet,
uh and he believes his heroes uh uh this guy Daniel Quinn uh and he also wants to save the world for in and this is his list the lions, tigers, giraffes, elephants, froggies, turtles, apes, raccoons, beetles, ants, sharks, bears, and of course the squirrels, unquote.
Of course the squirrels.
Uh I've no idea why the Discovery Bomber uh like uh well, I guess uh, you know, the Discovery Channel bomber, you can understand why he likes squirrels, because they really know how to take care of their nuts, unlike our cruel and unfeeling society.
Uh so he was uh he's opposed to any kind of uh human reproduction.
Uh he's got all these crazy ideas from the environmental movement.
We had Bob on yesterday.
Bob's accusation uh toward me and Rush is that when we criticize the ground zero mosque, we're rec serving as recruiters for the Taliban.
This is this was Bob's sophisticated level of analysis.
That w that that everything Rush and I say drives recruitment for the Taliban, that it would never occur to these guys sitting in these caves to sign up with for the jihad if it weren't for the stuff that Rush and I are saying.
Well, what about all these environmental novels?
What about all these people saying that the world is going to end in ten years?
What about Al Gore referring to uh climate change as an environmental holocaust, an environmental crystal neck.
Wouldn't you want to prevent something like that?
If you took Al Gore seriously, wouldn't you want to work to prevent something like that?
But no, no, no.
The the Discovery Channel bomber has nothing to do with Al Gore's good works for the world.
Whereas Rush and I are generating extremism across the fruited plain.
Great to be with you.
Mark Davis will be here tomorrow, and there'll be a best of Rush for Labor Day.
We're talking about this uh Discovery Channel bomber 1 800 282 uh 2882.
Um he he wanted the Discovery Channel to change its programming uh to favor animals and bugs, uh, but also uh to uh uh cut back on the uh birth of what he called parasitic babies, parasitic babies.
Uh nothing is more important, he said, than stopping the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies.
And people say, well, you know, this guy's just a crazy, he's just a crazy.
Uh Stephen Cotler, Stephen Cotler says, uh, quote, you don't need to ask what you need to do for the world, you already know.
Stop having children.
It's that easy, unquote.
Uh and Stephen Cotler is calling for a five-year moratorium on having children planet wide.
Uh so he wants uh because he says a billion less people is a great place to start.
A billion less people is a great place to start.
Key words start, by the way, because uh uh uh experts agree that the official carrying capacity for the planet is somewhere between three hundred million and two billion.
So we have sort of five to six billion people uh that we're gonna need to unload.
Uh but he says like just having a billion less people would be a great place to start.
So stop having children, a five-year moratorium uh on anyone having children.
Now you may be saying, after what happened to the Discovery Channel bomber where he has to get taken out by the SWAT team, you may be saying, Oh, is this guy nuts?
No, he's not nuts.
He's so not nuts that he writes for psychology today.
That's how sane he is.
He's a guy who he's a guy who tells you you're nuts.
And he's saying we need a five-year moratorium uh on human on human babies.
Um Sir Jonathan Porrit, Sir Jonathan Porrett, who is something called the sustainable development chair for the British government, also opposes environmentally irresponsible breeding.
Uh he thinks that your carbon allowance, you the number of children you have uh and your birth control methods should be factored into your uh carbon allowance, so it would be increased.
Uh your travel allowance, for example, if you agree to only have one child, you would be permitted to take a vacation in Florida once a year.
And presumably if you agreed to have your tubes tied, you could maybe get a beach house in the Bahamas or whatever.
The this isn't these the this isn't a these aren't lunatics, these are respected figures who are saying exactly the same thing that the guy who tried to take out the Discovery Channel uh yesterday uh were saying.
Uh the anti-humanism, the anti-humanism, because in the end, much of by the way, much of the liberal agenda uh boils down to a kind of psychologically unhealthy civilizational self loathing.
You know, there's an easy way, by the way, if he i i i i I I would like these people to lead by example.
If you feel there are too many on the planet, by all means go ahead and jump off a building.
Uh but they never do, because they seem to think they seem to think that when we're we're talking about reducing the planet, so it can only support 300,000 to two billion people.
So we need to get rid of five billion people.
Now, where are we gonna start?
Well, We could start with Rush.
We don't really need him around.
Uh we could start with everyone who works at the Fox News Channel.
We could start with all those Rush Limbaugh guest hosts hosts called Mark.
Uh we could start with Dick Cheney, uh, Don Rumsfeld, Sarah Palin.
They think they're going to be part of the 300,000 to two billion that are still left.
Uh why don't you lead by example?
If it's if you're really so mired in civilizational self-loathing, why feel free to jump off a building.
Feel free to jump off a building.
Uh the the danger, I think, the danger is not that there are crazy guys out there who believe that and want to just uh swank into the Discovery Channel and blow the place up.
The danger is that there are people at high level in government, uh, who think like that, uh and and who who carry on like that.
Uh Al Gore is uh Al Gore is a very good example.
Al Gore has an almost insane view uh of uh environmentalism and what is necessary to save the planet, but he's he's a widely respected figure.
Uh and he gets to fly around the world meeting with other people who think exactly like he does, like this guy, the head of the climate change guy at the UN, Rajendra Paul Churi, Rajendra Pauchuri.
He's this Indian railroad engineer who hit the jackpot and was put in charge of the climate change uh panel at the United Nations.
Now he flies all over the world.
You never see the guy except in the VIP lounge at JFK, VIP lounge at Heathrow, VIP Lounge at New Delhi.
And he's uh he's the guy who's saying, well, we can't have people going around staying in hotels, taking flights, eating at restaurants, we need to crank down on all that.
Uh environmentalism is the is fundamentally anti-human, and of course it is the biggest pretext for big government ever, uh, which is why these people are attracted to it, because uh i i i if uh you you know, a department of transportation deals with transportation policy and a department of education deals with education policy, but a department of the environment deals with everything because everything is in the environment.
Everything you do, everything you eat, everything in your home is part of the environment.
And this guy, this guy, uh at the the the w what is uh at issue with the Discovery Channel bomber is not that he is insane, but that so many uh the people that he got his so-called crazy ideas from uh think exactly the same as him.
Now, here's a good example of where environmentalism leads, by the way.
Bed bug fears put bite on the hotel industry.
This is from the Boston Globe.
Uh have you been following this?
There's a spate of bed the bed bugs are back.
Bed bugs, bed bugs uh went away uh with uh with the old homestead on the frontier in the early 20th century, uh, because America uh got rid of uh DDT uh and uh uh and uh uh uh invented DDT and got rid of bed bugs, and then the environmental movement in its first great victory, Rachel Carson's celebrated thing, got rid of the DDT.
They put it in songs.
Remember Joni Mitchell, uh whatever it is, big yellow taxi and all the hippie-dippy songs late so hey Farmer Palmer uh put put away leave give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees, put away the DDT.
Yeah, Joni Mitchell, big yellow taxi.
They put in the old hippie songs uh attacking DDT.
Because we attack DDT, that's not just the malaria in the third world, we now got a bed bug epidemic in the United States of America.
So you you go away and uh you think it doesn't affect you.
You live in an uh in your home, you don't have bed bugs, you go and you stay in a chain hotel somewhere, uh and uh and you come back and you know you you have quite a restless night, you're not sure why, but there seems to be something sort of nuzzling in in in the third hair down on your calf.
Uh and uh unfortunately when you get up in the morning, uh the little fella stays in there uh on your leg and you introduce him to whichever bedbug-free state it is he's in, and now we've got a bedbug epidemic in the United States of America.
Uh because primitive societies, believe it or not, are worse, are more uncomfortable, more disease-ridden, uh more filthy.
People talk about health care.
Ninety percent of health care is hygiene.
Uh Cheryl Crow, Cheryl Crow uh wants a uh prohibition on people using he doesn't think people should use more than one sheet of toilet paper.
More than one sheet of toilet paper.
Uh It's the you may you may recall the uh they did the uh they did the cover version of the the uh fundraising cover version of the John Lennon song all we're saying is give one piece a chance.
That's all she's saying is we should just use one piece of toilet paper.
They want to go to war against two ply toilet paper, which is which is all made in Canada, it would devastate the Canadian economy.
The Canadians are basically the Saudi Arabia of toilet paper.
So you would have a total societal collapse if you were to if you were to uh if you were to outlaw two ply toilet paper.
But they they're going to war uh they're going to war on hygiene.
You're gonna live in a more disease ridden society.
Did you see that?
That was on the Discovery Channel.
Did you see that thing uh do you remember that Catherine where they flew all those Hollywood celebrities uh to uh to the jungle to live among primitives for a week and and and uh Drew Barrymore Drew Barrymore I gotta I'm gonna find this exact quote.
I'll leave this because this is such a great this is such a great quote.
I'll find that precise quote uh when we come back.
1 800 28282 a more disease ridden United States thanks to the environmental movement.
Mark Stein for Rush, your call straight ahead Mark Stein for Rush on the EIB network in the wake of yet another sick crazed left wing wacko driven driven to insane acts by the extremism and the hatred that's out there.
The Discovery Channel, Boba, we were talking about how what is worrying is that in the context of the environmental movement, how normal his views are, the anti-humanism, for example, and the return of all these signs of a primitive society like bedbugs in American hotel chains now.
And I mentioned the way that the strange sort of fascination with reprimitivization that the elites in our society have.
Cameron Diaz I mentioned just before the break I wanted to get this quote right because uh it's not I don't want to put words in her mouth.
Cameron Diaz hosted a series called Trippin' in which she and fellow celebrities went to Tanzania, uh Honduras, Nepal, and uh so forth and praised the environmental friendliness of uh village life there.
Quote, I aspire to be like them, Drew Barrymore told viewers after spending a few days in a remote Chilean community without electricity or indoor plumbing quote I took a poo in the woods hunched over like an animal.
It was awesome unquote that is the world that is the world the environmentalists are building for you.
You know does a Barry bore crap in the woods?
Apparently so they didn't in Lionel's day.
John Barrymore didn't Ethel Barrymore didn't Lionel Barrymore didn't but this new generation is more enlightened.
Let's go to Scott in Brentwood, Tennessee.
Scott you are live on the EIB network.
Well Mark there's um there's just several different layers of irony and hypocrisy on on this Discovery channel hijacker, I guess.
You just know if he'd have been in there he'd been upset about you know if he'd have been a gun rights advocate or a hunting advocate Keith Oberman and Nancy Pelosi and that have been blaming Rush and Fox News and Glenn Beck and you know the you know decrying the Republicans overheated campaign rhetoric.
Right.
Yeah that that would have been the the lead.
Yeah um the thing is um the Discovery channel itself disseminates a lot of this crap.
Right Discovery networks, uh Animal Planet and Discovery Channel and and History Channel they have entire series devoted uh they have a series Life After People.
Yeah no yeah the premise is you know that people are you know bad for the planet and they take it's not just one two hour special I mean they it's an entire series.
Yeah.
They look at you know how long does it take for this building to fall down and what happens to this city and in morbid detail one year out, two years out, five hundred years out even in some of their more intellectually strenuous scientific type programming they had a uh a special on the Little Ice Age and you know copious amounts of historical data about how the climate has shifted,
the middle medieval warm period where the Vikings settled Greenland and they had farms and group crops under what are now glaciers and uh the Little Ice Age where the river Thames used to freeze over and they'd have bears in the winter on solid ice, and you know, and how it used to be twenty degrees hotter, twenty degrees cooler than it is now.
And that's been natural and ever since, you know, before the industrial revolution.
But even at the end of that, they have to tap on five minutes of global warming garbage, which you know completely goes against the grain of everything they've just presented in uh hour and fifty-five minutes before.
Yes, and I think I think that's uh you make a good point that that uh he's going up against uh the propaganda arm, uh propaganda arm of uh of the environmental movement on on these issues.
That is what that is what is so I mean, initially when this story broke yesterday, and you uh someone's uh what?
Someone's someone's in the Discovery Channel building, they're holding the Discovery Channel uh hostage.
What you know what is that's like uh that's like hearing that, you know, the soft and easy listening favorites channel next door, someone's bust in there and uh and is uh and is holding them hostage because they haven't got Debbie Boone in high rotation.
It's it's it's it's uh it's ridic it's ridiculous it's ridiculous this.
They're a fellow propaganda arm of of the movement, of the movement.
Uh and where it leads is nowhere good.
Uh this anti-humanism, I think, is uh is sick, you know, uh a world without us, I think that's what it was called.
A couple of Christmases ago.
All the lefties were giving each other this was the book they were giving each other for Christmas, a world without us.
It was about a planet uh in which man was extinct and it had returned to its bucolic state.
On the cover there was uh I guess it was meant to be Manhattan or somewhere in ruins and the jungle creepers and the vines reclaiming the city, and it was being restored to its beautiful natural state, a world without us.
And this is what liberals give each other for Christmas.
Christmas, uh, I can't I can't remember all the details, but I vaguely thought it had something to do with new life and the birth of a little baby, and they're all giving each other this thing about death, the extinction of the human race.
Isn't that wonderful news?
Now the three-toed tree sloth will just be able to hang from the tree without having to worry about a city bus coming by and wrecking the whole joint and there goes the neighborhood.
Uh this what is what is significant uh about the um the Discovery Channel bomber is that his views are so normal on that side of the fence.
Mark Stein, Infrarush, lots more your calls still to come.
Mark Stein in for Rush on the EIB network.
Uh the director James Cameron, James Cameron, Canada's greatest export, uh has attacked DVDs as wasteful.
Uh DVDs are harmful to the environment.
Uh and uh he's uh he he thinks it's not it it's not compatible with 20th Century Fox's commitment to be carbon neutral by the end of 2010.
I'll be I'll love to see that, by the way.
Uh James Cameron has just attacked DVDs.
He's got three DVDs out right now, just for one lousy movie, just for Avatar.
He's got three DVDs, including one that's some, you know, super it comes in a super big extra plasticky cover because it's got all the bells and whistles in it and the 3D Blu-ray thing.
And this is a guy, oh DVDs, DVDs are why, by the way, are you in the movie business?
If every if anything is has a huge carbon footprint, it's a film like Avatar, you go, you go, you got all these special effects, computerized effects, uh, you go somewhere, you got a big set, you're filming everything, you've got a cast of thousands.
Why aren't you doing some some crummy little play uh off off off off off off off Broadway with no sets and no costumes and one guy standing on a black uh bare black stage?
Uh yeah, holding a Hershey bar.
That's all that's all you need to do.
It's like Yeah, and the uh the the rock stars.
It's like when they have these rock rock for the planet things and some huge rock super group, like what was it last time for the Al Gore thing, they got the Sting got the police back together to save the rainforest, and so they all fly in with their huge trucks uh and the huge sound systems and tons and tons of roadies.
Why aren't you just uh doing what we used to do in the eighteen nineties when we just gathered round the piano and sang uh fragrant uh Victorian uh parlor ballads to ourselves of an evening?
Isn't that much more environmentally friendly than doing your rock supergroup thing uh to save the planet?
Don't look at what these guys say.
Look at how these guys live.
Uh environmentalism is really a racket to restore us to the divine right of kings.
