See, folks, right there is exactly what I was talking about.
On CNN, there is a reporter standing out in the snow.
And she is telling people what it's like in the snow, so that you don't have to go outside and risk your life to find out what it's like.
Because the reporters will do that for you, and they will tell you not to do what they are doing.
As a public service.
I just wanted to let you know that that they're on CNN they're already doing what what I what I told you they would do.
It's great to have you back.
It's Friday.
Let's roll on here, folks.
Make it happen.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
That's when we uh go to the phones, the show is yours.
You talk about whatever you want, including the weather.
Because so many lives are unnecessarily at risk.
If it weren't for global warming, we wouldn't even be talking about freezing temperatures, ice, snow, sleet.
But because of global warming, lives are at risk.
And you need to take important drastic action to save yours and the lives of your children.
We haven't even discussed what to do about your pets.
You know, your dogs have to go outside.
They have to go outside.
And if you they can easily get lost or buried in this stuff if you are not careful.
By the way, we have our own correspondent, uh several of them in New York, and during the break I was told that it's mostly sleet in Manhattan right now.
It isn't snow.
Now, sleet is pretty much frozen rain.
Sleet is is um well it it stings more with a hitch in the face.
And it lands and it doesn't melt.
And therefore it gets very slippery on the sidewalk.
And that means it can kill you.
Sleet can be very slippery, and therefore don't go outside.
But if you do, put chains on your shoes.
Just as you would put chains on your car.
You need chains on your boots, your Nikes, your airs, whatever, to make sure that you don't fall, because falling can really hurt you.
You might even die.
If if you some of you fall on your rear end, depending on where your head is, you could die.
You'll be very, very careful.
And we will continue with uh updates and uh uh very important tips, safety tips to uh save your life.
I don't know.
I don't think any network other than Fox is covering the Chris Dorner case.
Chris Dorner is the left wing wacko inspired by Colin Powell, Chris Matthews, Anderson Cooper, a bunch of left-wing actors.
He is the uh former LA cop who's on a killing spree so far, three are dead.
They're hunting him down now in Bear Lake, where it's also snowing.
Uh very hard.
Much more snow in Bear Lake, California right now than even in the Northeast.
Uh but so far there are no warnings about Bear Lake in terms of people dying and global warming being responsible.
And the reason for that is there aren't as many journalists that live.
I don't think any, in fact, uh journalists uh be in Bear Lake, they have to go there.
Uh but journalists naturally exist in New York and Boston and uh and and Washington.
Okay, so the phone number 800 282-2882, if you want to be on the program, and if you want to send an email, it's L Rushboat EIBNet.com.
It's a mysterious newly discovered disease striking mainly young women in Philadelphia.
It is often misdiagnosed.
Doctors who discovered it in Philadelphia say it's like your brain is on fire.
And the health reporter for CBS Eyeball News in Philadelphia, Stephanie Stahl, says the disease starts with Personality changes.
So if you're in Philadelphia and you know a woman and her personality is changing, the odds are it is this mysterious, newly discovered disease strikes mainly young women and makes them think their brain is on fire.
Well because it starts personality changes.
That's how you tell.
That's a sexist thing to say.
No, don't say that.
That's a sexist thing to say.
Snurdly just said that women's personalities change on their own anyway, without mysterious deadly diseases.
That's that's typical sexism that you get from the right wing these days.
You need to you need to learn to channel it, Snerdley.
Here's what happens.
Young women dazed and restrained in hospital beds, acting possessed.
And then they become catatonic.
They'd been so normal, and then suddenly their lives went haywire.
Susanna Callahansa, one minute I'd be sobbing and crying hysterically, and the next minute I'd be laughing.
I was paranoid and manic.
There was something wrong.
I thought trucks were following me.
And it got worse for Emily Gavigan, who was a sophomore University of Scranton, hospitalized and out of it.
She could not control her arm movements.
And then there were seizures.
Then she needed a ventilator.
Her parents were watching their only child literally slip away.
And they're very fortunate they did not have to try to get to the hospital through the snowstorm because it isn't snowing in Philadelphia.
It's only raining.
Emily's dad said we were losing her.
This is something I couldn't control.
Doctors could not figure out what was wrong.
Another woman said I had bizarre abnormal movements that leave my arms uh extended in front of me.
I was a relatively normal person, and the next minute I'm hallucinating and insisting that my father had kidnapped me.
It turned out they were not mentally ill.
They both had an autoimmune disease called anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.
This is caused by antibodies attacking the brain, which causes swelling.
That's how the doctors explained it to the parents of these uh these women.
Uh until their brain basically is on fire.
And they have to put the the fire out with uh with medicine.
So that is the mysterious disease discovered locally in Philadelphia.
Another story from CBS Philadelphia.
It's a survey.
It was released yesterday.
Young adults between 18 and 33 are more stressed than any other generation ever.
USA Today says the online survey was conducted August 2012 by Harris Interactive for the American Psychological Association was taken by 2,000 adults, 18 and older.
Results of the survey say the average stress level of adults in 2012 was 4.9 on a 10-point scale.
In other words, young adults between 18 and 33 are more stressed today than any generation ever in history.
And it's in USA Today.
Including any generation, including the greatest generation, including the Neanderthals.
Well, what's what's causing this is is the Republican Party.
What else would be causing this?
What's causing this is partisanship, Republican Party, refusal to compromise with Obama and get along, the war on women.
What do you think is causing this stress?
Loaf.
No, no, none of that.
None of that.
No, no.
No, no.
No, no, none of that.
Not loafing, not staying at home with the parents, not working, not feeling entitled, not feeling achieved, not feeling accomplished.
That's none of it.
That has nothing to do with it.
These people are stressed because of the opposition to government that exists.
Which which threatens them, Snerdley.
When people oppose government, their livelihoods are threatened.
When people oppose government, their future is uncertain.
That's what's causing them.
That's what's causing this.
Of course they don't work.
That's what they might have to.
That's the stress.
They might have to get a job.
They might have to leave home.
They might actually have to go provide for themselves.
That's the reason for the stress.
And the reason that might happen is because there are people who oppose Obama's policies of expanding the government.
I knew that without even reading the story.
I knew that was going to be the explanation.
From the Miami Herald, a Miami Dayed Circuit Judge has approved a private adoption, allowing three people to be listed on the birth certificate of their 23-month-old daughter.
Miami family lawyer Karen Begin, or Begin, we're creating entirely new concepts of families.
If you have two women seeking to be listed as parent one and parent two, that does not exclude listing a man as father.
Now, this family lawyer is representing the father, Massimiliano Massimo Jarena, in a two-year paternity case involving lesbian friends who had his baby.
There are three parties involved, and the judge said, yep, that makes the case unique.
Now, I just remember how I have been mocked and ridiculed and made fun of for even mentioning that these kinds of things were going to happen.
I remember being laughed at and mocked, being called an extremist for predicting that family, what constitutes family is now wide open, and pretty soon you're going to be able to marry your dog.
Your dog's going to be an official member of the family who qualifies for benefits.
People laughed and made fun of me, and here we go.
Miami Dade Circuit Judge okay is a plan for a gay guy and a lesbian couple to be on a daughter's birth certificate, even though one of the lesbians had nothing to do with it.
And maybe both of the lesbians had nothing to do with it.
It could be that there's a fourth involved.
A surrogate.
Anyway, folks, Obama's approval numbers according to Quinnipiact have plummeted.
They're down to 46%, 4645 job approval according to the Quinnipiact University poll.
That's down from 53.40 in December.
Got to take a brief timeout.
It's Open Line Friday.
We'll get to your calls.
And we've got a good soundbite roster as well, too, so we barely scratch the surface here, folks, as we have more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, as well as more safety tips on how you can survive and still be alive three days from now if you live in New York or Boston.
Back after this.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day, Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network, as we speak, the mayor of New York City, uh Michael Bloomberg has convened what looks to be the entire city government, and they are arrayed behind him while he is at the podium, explaining to New Yorkers that some of them are going to die in the next three days.
and what they can do to not be among those who perish.
You know, New York may get eight inches away.
He said, before the snow tapers off tomorrow morning.
Might get eight out the at the outside twelve inches, might get eight to twelve inches, a whole foot.
I kid you not, a whole foot of snow, and the mayor is on TV warning about it now, and he's also telling people who are Still homeless and without electricity because of Hurricane Sandy, that there are shelters set up for them.
The only problem is that they have to go outside to get to the shelters, and the instructions are to not go outside.
That's another So I I'm I'm I know I've I'm genuinely surprised that that search a circumstance still exists.
I thought the repairs after Hurricane Sandy have been made.
Apparently not.
Anyway, uh you you you you're you're supposed to call 31 if you're a Sandy victim, and then that'll tell you where to go to get shelter.
But see, the problem is you gotta go outside to get to the shelter.
And you're not supposed to go outside when it starts snowing.
It's a real conundrum, it's a dilemma.
And the mayor did not explain this.
Uh I didn't touch on the pitfalls of carbon monoxide poisoning and how you could die from that too.
Uh that happens when you stay inside and carbon monoxide forms because of faulty uh uh equipment in your home heating.
Uh, or maybe your gas stove, the pilot light would go out, but the gas continues to flow, and you wouldn't know it if you don't have a carbon monoxide alarm, and you just start to fall asleep, and you might think it's some mysterious Philadelphia-like disease, but it isn't.
It's it's carbon monoxide poisoning, and you might fall asleep before you actually realize that's what's happened.
In which case, open a window.
But then when you do that, the risk you're running is that cold air is going to enter your home.
And that means your heat is going to be run, if you have any, it's gonna be running constantly.
Your electricity bill or gas bill is gonna go through the roof here.
So to forego carbon monoxide poisoning, you have to open a window, make sure the pilot lights stay lit.
If you open the window, you're gonna get cold.
And and as cold air comes in to a warm place, the cold air will overtake the warm air because there's more of it, and then you could die from that, or you could at least get very cold and freeze.
And if you've gone outside like you shouldn't have, your clothes are all wet, so you can't put them on to stay warm.
So you're uh you're essentially cooked here.
Um so you've got to follow all of these instructions to the letter.
If you hope to survive the eight to twelve inches that the mayor says might accumulate on the streets of New York by tomorrow.
Okay, to the phones open line Friday.
Here's Simon in San Diego.
Simon, I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Thank you very much, sir.
I believe everything you say, and I love your show.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
Yes.
So uh anyway, uh, my dead beat dad.
Um, since Obama is my, I guess my stepfather that's going to give me everything.
Uh what I wanted to talk about was it sounds like with Panetta, the military had no response.
There was nothing they could do.
So it's like Obama said, do whatever you have to do, and Panetta said nothing we can do.
Well, it's just gonna have to fight the window.
Now, I I'm not sure what your point is here, but legally there was nothing Panetta could do with those orders.
Oh, no, what I'm saying is there was nothing laid on to support the operations in Benghazi.
So there was no aircraft ready.
It was there were C-130s, there were there were support teams available as near as Italy.
You could they could have had uh um 90 minutes.
They could have had C-130s and so forth, they could have had air assets in the region over the uh over the concert within an hour and a half from our bases in Italy.
That's why we have bases all over the world.
Are you are are you saying that Panetta's mindset was that eh there's nothing we can do?
Well, I I'll float this one up because I'm not sure if Panetta was in Clinton's staff when Somalia was going on.
And in Somalia with Blackhawk Down, I just read the movie, I didn't read the book.
It was like Washington, D.C. and the Pentagon are like, you know what?
You boys went in with what you had, and you're gonna just have to fight your way out.
There's nothing we can do to support you.
No, that's not no, no, no, no.
That's that's let me set the record straight on that.
What happened was the the Mogadisha, the Somalia operation was originally started because the New York Times published a photo on the front page of a young boy who was very hungry with a fly buzzing around his face.
And George Bush was president, not Bill Clinton.
And that picture now, cable news to speak of yet when this that picture.
The American people demanded that we feed that kid.
So we sent the military over to feed the starving in Somalia.
When we got there, we ran into a buzzsaw run by a warlord named Mohammed Adid Sahib Skyhook.
And they were hungry there because he was stealing all the food from everybody.
They had plenty of food, just he was stealing it for his buddies and selling it, the open market.
So we went in, and the thought was that these guys are a bunch of chumps who'd be able to fix this inside of a couple of weeks and get back out.
Well, Mohammed Adid Sahib Skyhook fought back and a bunch of Army Rangers were killed and paraded nude through the streets of downtown Mogadishu, and that's when we said, Oh my god, get on.
That's when Les Aspen was the defense secretary, not Panetta.
And Clinton made the call just to get out of there.
We're not gonna fight back.
These are poor minority black, we're not the American people not gonna fire.
We're gonna and we got out of there, and that's what led Ben Bin Laden to conclude that we could be had because we would give up.
And we didn't have the will to carry out our missions.
In the state of Massachusetts, the governor Deval Patrick has just, according to the reports that I have, Governor Patrick in Massachusetts has just banned all vehicle traffic from all roads as of 4 p.m.
Friday.
Now I don't know if that is for the entire state or just the area forecast to be destroyed by the blizzard, or if it's just for Boston.
So far it is flurries in Boston.
There's not a whole lot of accumulation yet, but the governor is taking no chances.
Do not dri you can't drive.
Now Tom Brady and his family have an exemption because of the Patriots.
If he's even there, he might even be gone now.
But people like Brady have an example.
He could drive.
You can't, and nobody else can.
You're not supposed to be on the roads after four o'clock.
But nevertheless, some of you are going to do this anyway.
You're going to go outside.
I want to touch a little bit more on the on the threat of carbon monoxide poisoning.
This is a real threat during storms like this.
What happens is it gets very windy.
Uh winds are expected to be very, very uh high.
Gale force, some cases, hurricane force winds are being forecast here.
That could blow out pilot lights uh on your furnace, for example, or in your electric stove.
Well, when the pilot light goes out, the gas continues to flow, but you can't hear it, and you you might not smell it until it's too late.
And then if there's a spark of anything, your house could explode and you could die.
Well, obviously you don't want this to happen.
So keep a sharp eye on the pilot lights going out, because then you also I didn't pay very close attention to or not you're getting drowsy, because that could mean that you're falling asleep, but you wouldn't actually be falling asleep.
You're gonna be succumbing to poisoning from carbon monoxide, which would cause you to open a window which could cause you maybe to freeze because cold air would then be coming into your house.
So it's a set of compromises here in order to stay alive the next three days.
Now something else, um people might decide, and I'm I'm not suggesting this.
In fact, I'm I'm cautioning against this.
Don't shut off your gas because you fear the pilot light going out and carbon monoxide poisoning and opening a window and freezing.
Um people might think of maybe starting a fire in your house outside of the fireplace.
Some people might say use a garbage can put refuse in there and start a fire for heat.
Don't do that.
That would not be prudent or wise because what'll happen then if you start a fire in your garbage can say in the kitchen, that too will release CO2.
And the main thing about that is it damages the environment.
If you you put CO2 in your house, the pilot lights going out, you are unwittingly contributing to global warming, which is causing all of this to begin with.
So if you're not careful, if you don't follow all of these cautionary tips that I'm giving you, you could end up causing an increase in carbon monoxide out there and carbon dioxide, and you could die from either exposure to cold air coming through a window that you open, your pilot light going out, your gas continuing to flow, there could be a spark of something, and your house could blow up with you in it, which means that you would blow up, which means you would die.
Now to avoid all that, you might open a window to keep fresh air in there to sort of balance out the poisoned air.
In that case, you could freeze and maybe think about lighting a fire in your trash can.
That would cause even more CO2, which would lead to more global warming.
Not to mention the fire risk of starting a fire in your trash can.
But I it's going to be tempting, I know, because you'll be freezing.
And you'd be watching people on TV outside warning you about these various survival tips as well.
So what you what you need to do, ladies and gentlemen, if you have to go outside in the snow to survive, if that's what happens, if you've got CO2 in your house, if you start a fire in your house, Or if a fire starts.
Or if a part of your house explodes.
And you have to...
Ahem.
If you have to go outside, please, I'm sorry to be laughing because these are horrible circumstances, but it's all very likely.
Some of you this is going to happen, so you're going to die in the next three days.
We're trying to prevent that here with our never-ending ongoing survival tip campaign, the EIB network.
If you have to go outside in the snow, please tell a friend or neighbor of your planned route in case you never return.
Designate someone as your heir.
If you decide to leave your home in the midst of this blizzard, if you defy all the tips and all the instructions, if you go outside for any reason and start walking around, make sure somebody knows your route, your planned route, and designate someone as your heir in case you are not found.
In case you are lost forever.
At least designate an air if you haven't already done your will.
In fact, if you haven't done your will, you know what I'd put that at the top of the list today.
I would I would go online and do your will.
I'd make the first thing that you did before you go to the store and buy up all the batteries in the water.
And designate an air.
Well, uh whoever would inherit what you've got when you die.
Whoever would that's what an air is.
It's H E I R. And that's what I'm asking you to do.
Designate an air and uh a planned route.
Now take your phone with you, uh GPS, turn it on, make sure that you can be found if you end up down in the sewer, snow drift.
Uh you might also think uh uh this is gonna sound very strange, but I and I don't hear anybody suggesting this.
If you have a helmet in your house, put it on if you're gonna leave the house.
You slip, because it'll be icy out there.
It's gonna be slick.
That's what snow and sleep and ice does.
It's very slippery stuff.
You could fall and land on your head if you're not wearing a helmet.
Oh my God.
Oh, I don't want to ponder this.
But if you're wearing a helmet, you at least have a chance.
You might only get a concussion, in which case you might be able to join the class action suit against the NFL.
Never know.
Something to consider.
Okay, brief timeout.
We'll come back and continue here on the EIB network after this.
Don't go away.
And we are back.
Rush Limbaugh, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
It is the entire state of Massachusetts.
Every road shut down as of four o'clock this afternoon by Governor Patrick.
No cars on any road in the entire state of Massachusetts as of four o'clock this afternoon.
In addition, six thousand flights have been canceled at uh a number of the nation's airports.
So you can't even escape that way.
If you haven't gotten out of there, you are stuck, and some of you are going to die unless you listen carefully and follow every tip that we are given in Connecticut.
State officials are warning residents to stay home.
But for those who aren't going to stay home and who have to report to work, the governor is urging people to try to leave as early as possible before it's too late.
Because there is a point of no return.
And if you wait until it's too late, it could really be too late.
So make sure you leave early and give yourself plenty of time because there's going to be a lot of traffic because that's what happens with snow, even though nobody's going to be outside.
There will still be a lot of traffic, and it will be very, very slow going because it's slippery and sliding, and that's where the driving tips that we gave you in the first hour will come in very handy.
Pump your brakes, turn into the skid.
Uh make sure that your defroster on the windshield is working, that, and your defogger to rear view window rear view mirror and the back back window.
Um...
The, uh...
That's not important today.
Snowdley have the pioneers.
So they ate each other.
I mean, I they ate freaking ate each other, Snow.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
That's where the Donner Party lesson is.
That's that's how they survived it.
Native Americans and so forth.
TPs, leaves around the bottom to keep the wind out.
There's all kind of tricks.
We don't have people who will rake leaves today.
Here's Bill in St. Louis.
Bill, welcome to EIB Network.
Great to have you here.
Hey, Rush, I just want to tell you, I was a survivor of the January 1978 snowfall in Providence, Rhode Island, and it was 44 inches.
We had 22 inches that fell, or excuse me, for two inches an hour for 22 straight hours.
So this snowstorm, I would suggest is not anywhere near that.
But the problem I would say is that I would never trust the forecasting to predict anything because they didn't predict what I was in.
And I was in downtown Providence when it started.
There was no snow on the ground, and I didn't even know it was going to snow.
And let me warn your listeners, too, and I think it's appropriate for you to point out specifically, because I don't think you've touched the subject.
I found myself in the holly in the uh where I was staying at the Marriott in Providence, and the only female companionship I had was a feminazi lawyer from San Francisco.
That is horror.
Uh was that by accident or by design?
Uh I didn't know she was staying there.
I literally dragged her to that hotel where she was staying because she couldn't have made it because it was snowing so hard.
Well, that's uh that's one of those unavoidable.
Yeah, that's another thing to consider.
Uh make sure that you have um some kind of a of agreeable, acceptable, mutually agreed upon companionship.
Oh my God, that's an excellent.
and this is from an actual survivor of one of these killer storms, folks.
I'm so glad you got through.
Uh this is not to be taken lightly.
I mean stuck in a hotel uh Feminazzi from San Francisco in the middle of a I don't even want to think about it.
I you you deserve a medal.
You had to survive even more than the storm, and you did, and you are here today to talk about it because you followed the guidelines issued by the authorities back then, and you improvised at the right time as well.
Thank you.
Uh thank you, Bill.
Here's uh here's Lewis in Humboldt County, California.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi.
Hi.
Should I talk?
You can talk.
Yes, it's open line Friday.
That's why you are here.
I've been sitting here so long.
Um yes, um I I try I want to try to be respectful to Mr. Senator Marco Rubio.
And I'm I'm a little confused as to why we conservatives like him and and uh aren't threatened by him.
Is that I hope that's not too harsh.
Well, I think more importantly, rather than discussing everybody else, we need to discuss with you why you don't particularly like him or why you're not enamored or why you are threatened.
Why are you?
I'm coming from a California perspective.
Um our state has suffered greatly with illegal aliens.
We have had hospitals closed for sixteen billion in debt.
We have it's an endless pipeline of people coming into our state.
They come into um Arizona, then they come to our state.
And I don't think that many conservatives in the Republican Party realize what has happened to the state and realize that this will probably happen to the rest of the country.
I think you're right about that.
Yeah.
I don't think enough people are willing to look at it from that standpoint because politicians are looking at these people as voters.
Let's be honest.
Yeah.
They're looking at them as potential voters, and then the Democrat side, they're looking at 'em as as potential benefit recipients.
They're looking at them as as as uh uh some of them as as as new additions to the underclass, which will need government, need the Democrat Party.
As for Senator Rubio, he has been explicit that unless there is border security to stop this inflow that you described, to stop this massive immigration at the border, he's not gonna support any of the rest of it.
Right.
Okay.
I I guess we have to take him out as word.
We will.
We'll have to find out if he means that.
Right.
But I at at and and time will tell.
We will find out at some point whether he means it.
I I take him at his word.
Okay.
He has said he will not support what not and but to be fair to you, your suspicions are valid because the Democrats are already saying, well, we're not gonna be concerned with border security, or they're saying there already is border security.
They're saying we don't need to do that.
But you I think uh are representative of a of a fact here, and that is that the voters, particularly in California, but the voters of this country are way ahead of the political class on this issue.
You are much more informed and sensitive and attuned to the damage that this has caused.
Yeah, I mean I've watched it my whole life living in this state.
You know, I I I've seen the the reality of what you know happened.
By the way, you're in you're in Humboldt County.
I mean Humboldt.
What how in the is it reached that far north?
Um I well, you know, the funny thing is is every since Obama did his little executive order, I s I I've noticed more what look like illegal aliens here.
I know some people say, how do you tell?
And stuff like that.
There are a lot of them dairy farmers around here, and I think they're coming up to take the dairy farm work.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's it's it seems like it's increased since he did his executive order.
Now back in the day when I lived in California back in the late 80s, Humboldt County was ground zero for environmentalist wackos and and the uh earth first crowd, the you know, the anti timber industry.
It was very, very left leaning uh county, and I assume it still is.
It it it there's pockets.
There's there's a lot of debate, you know, regarding the marijuana, you know, dispensaries, and some some cities are going, this this brings trouble, you know, we don't want this, and then another city will take it up.
And it's I think there's pockets of conservatism.
Well, obviously you're in one of them, or you are one, one of the I yeah.
We're we're we're we're an island of conservatism, us.
What do you do for a living in Humboldt County?
Um actually right now I'm aspiring filmmaker and I'm a caretaker.
You're an aspiring filmmaker and a caretaker.
Yeah, yeah.
I got it.
Okay.
Well, California's a perfect place for that.
I'm glad you called, Lewis.
Thanks much.
We'll be back and continue after this.
Don't go away.
All right, I have here, ladies and gentlemen, my formerly Nicotine State Fingers, I've got a transcript of the press conference or the the availability of Mayor Bloomberg in New York, where he talked about preparations for today's blizzards, and he stole all of my tips.
Even the carbon monoxide poisoning tip.
He stole it all.
Every tip that I gave.
And when we come back from the top of the hour break to prove it, I'm gonna play these sound bites.
