Time Text
Hi, greetings folks.
Great to have you.
It is Rush Limbaugh.
The all-knowing, all-caring, all sensing, all feeling.
All everything, Maha Rushi.
Here at the one and only Excellence in Broadcasting Network, documented to be almost always right, 99.7% of the time.
So we just had a drive-by caller.
A drive-by caller is a caller who got hold of Mr. Snurgley but didn't have time or didn't wish to go on the air.
It was a what would you say?
It's a 20 years old, something on them.
Twenty-something young liberal from Los Angeles, Westwood.
He said that I am wrong when I say that science is an exclusive ideology of liberals.
That's not what I what I said is that the left has turned science into an agent of its ideology.
That's the purpose of science.
Everything to these people is political.
There is not one aspect of life that is not oriented toward the advancement of a political agenda.
That's the stunning thing is how few people understand that or realize it, and when told, reject it.
But it's the case.
Science is simply a tool.
Science is simply another prong, if you will, of the liberal agenda, and it's been corrupted.
Conservatives don't use science to advance conservatism.
Wouldn't even occur to them.
What conservatism mostly is today is just spend all of his trying to refute everything the left says because they're omnipresent.
They're oppressive with the attempt to smother everybody with their agenda.
Everything is political.
He said, I'm wrong about that.
Then he told Snertley, look, when a majority of scientists agree on something, we should just accept it.
That's how it works.
You see, in science, there cannot be a consensus.
Well, there can be, but it doesn't mean it.
Science is not up to a vote.
Science is not determined by a majority vote on something.
So there's a consensus of scientists agrees that global warming is being caused by man.
There's no such thing.
That is not it.
It's politics, it's not science.
Now, just to conclude this, I want I don't want to spend any more time on this than necessary, but this is a fundamental point to me.
This is this is something.
If I could wave a magic wand and get people to understand this, I'd be so happy.
If people understood how they're being manipulated and defrauded every day with what they think.
So this guy, Dietrich Stapel, 55 studies that are now documented to be as total frauds.
I'll tell you how the left uses science folks, it's like they use anything else to shut out debate.
The left can't win a debate of ideas.
So it's like when Eric Holder comes along and says that illegal aliens have a civil right to amnesty.
Well, you know what that means?
It means that every person in the world is entitled to U.S. citizenship.
If it's a civil right to be granted amnesty when you come here illegally, then everybody in the world is entitled to U.S. citizenship.
They're called a civil right is to shut down debate.
The left uses science to shut down any opposition.
If it's science, how can you oppose it?
If it's a civil right, how can you oppose it?
Scientists wear white lab coats, and they look really official, and they have instant and total credibility and authority, but they're frauds.
They're bought and paid for by the left.
It's where they get their lifestyles.
It's how they're Able to buy groceries.
Anyway, this guy Stoppel did a study that concluded that eating meat made people selfish, less social, and more prone to violence.
And it was widely circulated, and it ends up in the universe.
You might not have heard about it, but it gets taught.
Your kids in certain majors attending certain classes will hear this.
They'll hear of this great scientist, this great researcher, this great sociologist.
He's impeccable.
And he's concluded that eating how many people are vegans today because of a bunch of fraud.
How many people are vegans because of a bunch of lies about what meat does to you?
How many people are vegans simply because they just really don't like meat?
How many of them are vegans because they've been told that eating meat's bad for them?
It turns people into bad things, it harms your health, it shortens your life.
All that's bunk.
And then how many vegans become activists for?
How many militant vegetarians are there out there?
So this guy sitting around one day, personally doesn't like meat.
And like a good liberal, since he doesn't like it, nobody should.
And since he doesn't like it, nobody should be able to.
So he creates this thing in his mind, a total lie and a total fraud, describing the people who eat meat as a bunch of reprobates.
Then goes out and fakes research, publishes it, it's unquestioned.
It ends up being reported far and wide, taught far and wide, and people just end up accepting it.
Global warming, same thing.
But who in the world sits around and dreams up this kind of stuff?
People who are who are obsessed with a political agenda and their ideology as the defining characteristic of themselves.
So it's not enough for this guy to not want to eat meat.
He's gotta make sure nobody else does.
And those who continue to eat meat are going to be impugned and assaulted for being bad people.
And then that study about this at the train station where people become racists when they see black people in garbage-strewn areas.
Who conceives of stuff like that?
But vile racists.
So this guy obviously sit around.
He believes that people are inherently racist.
He can't prove it.
So he concocts a fraudulent study that does prove it, publishes it unquestioned because of who he is.
And it's unassailable.
But like the global warming hoax, this guy was eventually found and uncovered, and now it's very, very difficult.
They're all struggling with this in the research community.
Grab audio sound by 26.
I mentioned an hour ago, the first NBA player, Jason Collins, Washington Wizards, has come out as gay.
White House eager to weigh in on this.
Daily press briefing, Jay Carney took a question.
NBA player Jason Collins announced today that he's gay.
Does the president have any response?
Any any reaction to that announcement?
I can certainly tell you that here at the White House, you know, we view that as another example of the progress that has been made and the evolution that has been taking place in this country.
And commend him for his courage and support him in his in this effort.
And hope that his fans and his team support him going forward.
There you have it.
So it's just a wonderful thing.
It's a beautiful thing for the NBA.
It's a it's a beautiful thing.
Progress uh sign of the tremendous evolution's been taking place in our country is very courageous, and we are very supportive here at the White House.
Big deal.
And of course, the NFL, which hoped to be first, now must come in second place.
So the only thing they can do is announce multiple gay players when it's their turn.
Mark my words.
That will happen.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh doing what I was born to do and irritating people left and right because I sound so sure of myself, which I am.
Now about this NBA player, Jason Collins that just came out.
I'm just gonna mention a couple of things.
He's 36.
As athletes go, that's just a couple years short of the wheelchair or the walker.
He's 36.
That's old for the NBA.
It's old for the NFL, it's old for it's it's old for professional athletes.
He is said to be, this is not me saying this.
Reports on the guy are that he's not a starter.
He's not that good.
He's a he's a backbencher, if you will.
So he's 36, said by professional analysts not to be among the top tier of players.
So now that Jason Collins has come out as gay, none of that's gonna matter when he's not given a contract when this one expires.
If just is just the way I think.
I'm sorry, folks.
I'll apologize in advance.
If Jason Collins is not picked up by another team when his current contract expires, will he take action, legal action against the NBA for discrimination?
Before you say, come on, Rush, don't be ridiculous.
I got this USA Today piece here talking about how Geno Smith, a quarterback drafted by the Jets, black quarterback second round, paying a black tax, which I had never heard of until today.
The black tax is being a black quarterback who should have been taken in a first round, but wasn't because theoretically, arguably he's black.
That's this is what the media is saying.
If if Geno Smith, everything else is the same, and if he was white, he'd have been a first-rounder.
Because he was black, he's a second rounder.
He missed out on first round money, therefore he's paying a black tax.
Well, that's the next thing to come is the gay tax.
That's what I'm asking here about Jason Collins.
Will there be a gay tax as labeled by the media if if if Jason Collins isn't picked up by a team after this contract expiration?
Just well, hey, Chris Chloe, who is the punter for the Minnesota Vikings, very active on the gay marriage front.
Now, in the NFL draft, the Vikings in the fifth round took a punter.
Well, guess what?
There's already buzz zbz that the Vikings took a punter in the fifth round because of Cluey's off-the-field activism.
It's already being whispered.
It's not even real whisper, it's being shouted.
The Vikings don't want that kind of distraction.
Clue is going to talk about gay marriage, fine, but not on our team.
So this kind of stuff is already alleged.
Brendan Iambideo, linebacker, 36 years old again, Baltimore Ravens went to the Supreme Court oral arguments on gay marriage.
Very big advocate for it, along with Chloe, released by the Ravens.
He publicly said when he was relieved, probably because I'm so vocal for game, then he took it back.
So I'm well within, I'm just using experience guided by intelligence here in asking the question.
If there's already a black tax for black players not taken in the first round in the NFL draft, can there be a gay tax for aging NBA players not picked up when their contract expired?
We won't be long to find out.
I love this post-racial America.
I do, snerdily.
I just, I love all of this.
I I love how we're getting so farther and farther away from looking at people on all this silly surface stuff.
I like the fact that we're just looking at people for who they are.
I love the fact that an NBA player is known for how well he plays the game and what his sexual orientation doesn't matter.
I love.
Oh well, it sounded good.
Back to the phones.
Not back too, because we haven't been there yet.
We're starting with Vicky in Reno, Nevada.
Hi, Vicky.
Great to have you on the program.
Yeah, what I'm calling about is that it has just come to light that at 50 years after Rachel Carson wrote her book Silent Spring, that she based all of her information, her data, so-called data, on anecdotal information.
She completely ignored the available information of the day.
She belonged to the Audubon Society, and she ignored their annual bird count, which showed there was no um fewer birds in in the years prior to her writing her book.
And now we've based all of our current environmental um legislation on the false data that she presented in her book.
This is a real sore spot with me, Rachel Carson.
For those of you who don't know, there is this pesticide called DDT, and it virtually wiped out malaria.
But Rachel Carson came along one day and claimed that DDT corrupted the eggs, recently hatched birds or whatever, recently laid by birds, and it was leading to the death.
It was killing birds and and and other animals.
DDT was a pesticide killing uh uh animals in nature, and so DDT was pulled.
The most effective weapon against malaria ever.
And one book by a liberal activist, Rachel Carson, which was fraud in and of itself.
And by the way, Vicky, yes, Rachel Carson's fraud has been known long before since last week or last year, but it's still active.
DDT is still uh not permitted.
It's it's still subject to uh all of the the denigration that was heaped upon it.
Her her words are still gospel.
Yeah, and it's killed millions of citizens on the continent of Africa.
Right, they're because they quit using the DDT.
Exactly.
Millions of young Africans are dead because of Rachel Carson, who is now herself dead.
Yes.
She long ago passed away.
But that's a great example.
Great example.
She's a good touchy feely, really cares for the animals liberal.
And she went out there and she claimed that DDT, it was like um, remember the the the California Condor was facing extension extinction, and they were doing everything they could to save the condo.
By the way, forget the condor for a second.
One of my favorite, all-time favorite birds is a pelican.
I'm fascinated by the things.
They are a protected species.
You know why?
Because it is said that DDT softens the shells of pelican eggs, and that many of them don't even hatch.
It's all BS.
It's like this BS of lights on the beach and turtles.
Folks, there's so much liberal fraud out there that has resulted in the resulted in the loss of common sense, day-to-day freedom.
But but more it's just fraud.
It's a bunch of lies for the purposes of advancing the liberal ideology.
And the liberal ideology is expansive governments, waning individual freedom.
It's just it's hideous.
Rachel Carson was a faker.
Pure and simple.
I'm glad you called Vicky.
Thanks.
Joanne in Birmingham, Alabama.
Great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi, I was just calling about uh you were just talking about the black tax on quarterback.
Yes.
And I just wanted to point out that E.J. Manual from Florida State went overall number 16 in the draft, and he's a black quarterback.
Yeah, but E.J. Manuel did not have first round pedigree like Geno Smith did.
Geno Smith was said to be the best quarterback in the draft.
E.J. Manuel, that was kind of an odd pick with the Bills because their new coach.
Yeah, new coach looked over, overlooked his college quarterback at Syracuse.
Uh who uh everybody thought he would pick his college quarterback from Syracuse.
He didn't because he and the coach, the general manager got together and they and they liked E.J. Manual in Florida State.
That that's this little side issue.
But nevertheless, E.J. Manguel was a surprise pick.
He was the Bills had let everybody believe that they were not interested in him, and that was part and parcel of trying to get everybody else to think, well, if the Bills don't want him, you know, nobody.
And it worked.
Nobody took him in the Bills.
He was available when the Bills picked, and there he went.
But since he wasn't expected to go there, Joanne, he can't be said to be an exception to the black tax.
Geno Smith was expected to go in the first round and didn't.
You only get taxed if you're expected to be there.
Uh well, it that's see, that's a great point.
That's another illustration of the of the stupidity here.
Nobody knew when anybody was going to get picked.
Nobody could possibly know when anybody was going to get so the media consensus was that if any quarterback went in first round, it'd be Geno Smith.
So simply because the media and the Mel Kuipers of the world, whoever all these analysts said that Geno Smith.
Yeah, that's a quarterback.
If anybody goes to first, it'll be Gino Smith.
And he didn't must be racism, has to be racism, because we all said he's a first round pick.
But not according to one general manager, was he?
*music*
Here's Paul in Kansas City, Missouri.
I'm glad you called Sir.
Welcome.
Great to have you here.
Hey, Russ, you were speaking earlier regarding uh that the liberals or progressives, they don't their first um priority in their relationships is you must be either a liberal or a progressive.
Right.
And then if you're a minority or something like that, second, that's fine.
But if you're a gay conservative or a black conservative or a minority or an immigrant conservative, um, you don't qualify.
So it it's very much like to me, like a jihadist.
They are more than welcome for you to believe anything you want to believe as long as you believe what they believe.
I see your point.
They're very strict on their belief that uh you can believe whatever you want as long as you agree with what uh yeah, but there's a there's a there's a fraud in this too.
Let's let's look at your example of blacks.
Now, if you didn't know any better, you would believe that the Democrat Party and the American left love black people, and they believed black people are discriminated against, they're getting a shaft in each and every day, and they're out there working to make sure that every black person in the world is not mistreated, treated then a conservative black man gets nominated for the Supreme Court, and all of a sudden he stops being black.
Right.
All of a sudden he's an evil, mean-spirited conservative sexual harasser.
And the fact that he's black doesn't matter.
The same thing with the feminazis.
Except if women don't want to have abortions, then they become the enemy.
So what really is the truth is uh the the civil rights movement is not about the advancement of blacks.
Feminism is not about the advancement of women, it's about the advancement of the ideology, it's about the advancement of liberalism.
And anybody that doesn't tow the line, you're exactly right, is gonna be called out, and they're not just gonna call him out in in a in the case of really prominent ones, they're gonna try to destroy them.
Right, but just like the jihadists, and that's why I compare it to them, is you can be a Muslim, uh, but if you're gay, well, that's not gonna work because you you're not you're not coding their line.
Are you saying that there aren't any gay jihadists?
How do you know?
You don't know.
Well, we They never said what kind of versions they were talking about.
Well, I mean, uh Well, we hit we live on these uh we live on these presumptions.
Now now look at Mahmoud Ahmed in Izad.
Mahmood was at Columbia University one day when he he came to the United Nations uh during their September October annual meetings.
This was the I think the same year that Hugo Chavez claimed to smell sulfur, i.e.
the devil in the General Assembly after George W. Bush had spoken.
To which the General Assembly applauded by the way.
So Mahmud goes over to Columbia University, invited there to speak, and a student asks him about homosexuality and homosexuals in Iran.
And Mahmoud said we don't have any of those and the audience starts laughing.
And Mahmoud doesn't quite know what to do.
He says well do you know of any tell us where they are show me where they are where do they live if I mean we we don't have that in Iran he said and of course the students at the Columbia laughing at that wasn't quite cool.
I mean, Mahmoud, the last thing, this guy expects to instill fear in everybody, end up laughing at him.
Now, some Muslim clerics, and I know people are going to dispute this, but some Muslim clerics have said that you can be gay as long as you do jihad.
Now, the comparison here with jihadis and liberals, I understand it, but the one thing the liberals don't do is order mass killings and maraudible.
I don't want to let that stand.
I know you're talking about the mind.
I know you're talking about the requirement that everybody must follow the right path or else they're going to be excommunicated or discharged or what have you.
I get the point.
Sturdly, I don't know what it says about the Koran being a living, breathing document.
All I know is that some imams have said, some clerics have said that you can be gay as long as you do jihad.
Just don't advertise it and nobody's going to have a problem.
But as long as you do jihad, don't ask, don't tell.
It was in the Daily Caller back on August 2nd last year.
Muslim cleric, gay sex, okay in the service of jihad.
Just like going to Las Vegas is okay if it's in the service of jihad.
And if you're going to Las Vegas, the 9-11 hijackers went to Vegas.
Some of them did.
You know why?
To work up their hatred for our society.
They went to the modern focus of evil in this culture.
The debauchery of Vegas.
They went there to stoke themselves with the proper amount of hatred.
While frequenting the brothels and other things.
But they did.
So existing or partaking of the things that are forbidden in the service of jihad is permitted.
Don't doubt me.
Andrew, Boca Raton, Florida.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hi.
Hey, how are you, Rush?
What's going on?
You tell me.
You called.
Well, you know what?
You know, I was talking to Sturgeley about Jason Collins, the basketball player.
Yeah.
And this is a brilliant self-marketing ploy that he's pulling off here.
Now, you said yourself he's a mediocre basketball player himself.
I love abundance.
And this will be his post-basketball career.
I mean, just think about the endorsements that are waiting for him.
Well, I think that's all true.
I, I, it, it, that's an, that's another point in addition to the ones mentioned is, but the way, just so everybody knows it's not me saying he's mediocre.
I don't know.
I never heard of him until today.
I I'm I'm not immersed each day in the NBA.
So I read about him.
He's not he's not reputed to be a good player by sports reporters.
He's also 36.
His contract's gonna be ending soon.
It's gonna be expiring at 30.
That's old in the NBA.
Not a good player.
He may not get another contract.
If he doesn't, guess what?
Nobody's gonna think it's because he can't play, because it's old.
The people are gonna think, aha.
He came out, and now the NBA doesn't want him.
Can you say a lawsuit?
And in your example, endorsements.
You there's there's no question that that you have.
You know, I've I find it, I find it fascinating.
Who all like Alec Baldwin, Alec Baldwin beats up every photographer he sees.
He beats up half of the reporters he runs into.
We have that recorded phone call of the conversation being very crude and rude to his daughter.
He is he's known to be a not a nice guy, just not a pleasant person.
And yet, companies left and right hire the guy to do their endorsements.
Commercial spokesman.
And yet others who are genuinely nice people who have no such reputations, can't get in the door to be hired by certain companies as spokesman.
Because they're controversial.
Or some such.
So the idea that Jason Collins could end up being a commercial spokesman, entirely plausible.
Oh, I'm sorry his contract is up.
He is Jason Collins is a free agent as we speak.
So that puts a that puts uh that puts a uh different slant, different angle on this.
The timing of the coming out.
Cheers.
You know, many of you out there think that uh nobody ever disagrees with me because there would be no point.
Uh, but you would be wrong in this case.
I am in the midst of a deluge of email from people who say, Rush, you're not you're not thinking.
When you say that liberalism doesn't kill people in mass numbers, you're not thinking.
And I have to say they have a point.
Let's go to Patrick in Rockford, Illinois.
Great to have you, sir.
Hi.
Thank you, Rush.
21-year dittos.
Appreciate that, sir.
Thank you.
El Mucho.
Uh Charles Worcester, who apparently was in the ground floor of environmental defense fund, when he was told, he was a chief scientist, apparently, was told that banning D D would probably result in millions of deaths.
He replied, this is as good a way to get rid of them as any.
And that's my point for the day.
Dr. Charles Worcester.
W O O S T R. W-R-S-T-E-R.
W-R.
W-U-R-S-T-R, sorry.
Worcester.
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Charles Worcester.
Yes.
Who founded the Environmental Defense Fund when told that banning D D T would kill millions, said, Well, that's a good way as any.
Yes.
This is as good a way to get rid of them as any.
All right.
What the man said.
Now, would you would you share with me your interpretation of that?
Um he's very cold and very callous and apparently an elitist.
Okay, you believe it.
Number one, you believe it.
Well, I don't know.
It was in Jonah Goldberg's book.
That's where I first saw it.
Jonah Goldberg's book.
If it's in Jonah Goldberg's book, it's got to be true.
Well, okay.
Well, he wouldn't put no no it has to be.
Jonah Goldberg would Not put a book out like it was something that blatantly wrong in it.
Well, it's in liberal fascism.
I have a hard copy.
Okay, we've now we've now looked.
It is by the way, that's a true statement.
It's been documented.
There are tons of references for it.
Dr. Charles Worcester did indeed say when told that a DDT pan would kill millions of people, that's as good a way as any.
Now, let me analyze it for you, folks.
I'm the expert here.
I never heard this Charles Worcester guy, but all I need to know is he founded the Environmental Defense Fund.
And all I need to know is what I remember, and what I've shared with you over the years about some of the most extreme environmental views.
One of them is that the real problem on this planet is humanity.
That if humanity did not exist on this planet, that everything would be beautiful and pristine and lovely, that the only beings that destroy and pollute are humans.
Now, I could go into my own personal archives, the show archives, and I could drag out all these articles, quotes from environmental extremists who've said just that.
And it's not old stuff, it's recent.
So if somebody tells me that Dr. Charles Worcester, who founded the Environmental Defense Fund, was actually thinking that getting rid of millions of people was a good thing, I could believe it.
This is what militant environmentalists believe.
I know it's a hard thing to accept.
If you're a low-information person out there and you're listening to this, I know it doesn't compute.
It doesn't make any sense to you.
And until you understand the ideology of liberalism, very little of this kind of talk is going to be believed by you.
Now, fact of the matter is 50, it is estimated 50 million African children have died who would not have died because of the ban on DDT.
DDT kills mosquitoes.
Without DDT, they thrive.
So here's Bill Gates and his lovely wife Melinda and their wonderful foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and they are spending millions of dollars on wait for it, mosquito nets for Africa.
Why?
to protect the citizens from malaria.
There is no scientific reason for the ban of DDT.
Not a legitimate one.
The DDT ban is again the result of liberal fraud and activism, Rachel Carson.
So you could say the biggest killer of young African children is not AIDS.
It's not war.
DDT being banned.
And you'd be right.
And then of course the other mass death, I have to mention it.
A million plus a year is a mass death.
And that's abortion.
God bless you, Planned Parenthood.
God bless you.
Six months after Hurricane Sandy, thousands of people are still homeless.
Looters are still raiding homes under repair.
There is still chaos.
And New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is saying that President Obama kept every promise he made after Hurricane Katrina.
Sandy, I'm sorry, Hurricane Sandy.
