Time Text
You remember all of those people that told us just wait, just wait.
When Obamacare is implemented, we will all love it.
Remember Pelosi told us that?
And I think a lot of Democrats said just wait until it's implemented in 2013, they said.
And we'll all love it.
Like Pelosi, we're gonna have to pass the bill to find out what's in it.
Remember.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yes, Saribh.
Open line Friday, L Rushbo.
And a golden EIB microphone.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
You would not I'm not gonna complain.
Yep.
I went back and I uh Coco Jr. sent me this thing from the website from three years ago, January 18, 2011, with the note uh this fixing national health care is exactly what you said would happen.
So I read this and I'm thinking, okay, how does this dovetail?
And what it is, it's a story about, and it was in it was an AP story three years ago about the British prime minister trying to fix British, the national health system by privatizing it.
UK tries backdoor privatization of health care, because it's gotten so bad.
It is so unwieldy.
It it just doesn't work.
It's expensive, long lines, and what's happened, the people that can't afford it have hired their own doctors and built their own hospitals, and they're opting out.
And this story is about the British attempt to fix their massive socialized medicine system by privatizing it.
And my point three years ago is this is exactly what's gonna become to us or become of us.
We're gonna we're gonna destroy the greatest health care system in the world, and we're gonna make it so bad that somewhere down the line fixing it is gonna be privatizing it or making uh implementing conservative theory, market theory into it.
And it it's very close to where we are.
I I have to I have to tell you again, I I want to move on.
There are so many other things today that I want to get to and and your phone calls as well.
But folks, this is the most amazing thing.
You know, to help me explain this in a different way to make the same point.
Let me go to the audio sound bites.
Carl Rove was on Fox today with uh Bill Hammer.
And Hemmer kind of hammered Rove, I thought when I watched this.
Hemmer said, Look from the uh the Washington Post yesterday, what did the Republicans and Democrats learn this week?
David Jolly's win was a big win for the GOP in the district the president carried twice in 2008-2012.
But Carl, you are warning that Republicans can't afford to get overconfident here.
Republicans can take a good deal away from this election, but they better pay attention to the detail.
It wasn't just about abashing Obamacare.
Jolly very wisely understood that that would only get him so far to energize the Republicans, but to get the independents and the swing Democrats.
He also emphasized that he was for replacing it.
He said we need to use private uh market solutions to resolve these problems.
People ought to be able to buy health insurance across state lines.
We ought to be able to save more tax-free for out-of-pocket medical expenses.
We ought to be able to have insurance that's portable.
Well, as far as it goes, that's right.
Jolly did, but let's he he also said repeal and replace.
Nobody, nobody that I know of is talking about throwing Obamacare away and then doing nothing.
There's all kinds of stuff that if you just throw Obamacare away, then it's that it's already damaged that are gonna have to be recalibrated or what have you.
Free market solutions is nothing new.
We've always had these ideas.
It's just Obama and the Democrats, of course, are not interested in it.
Here's the uh uh next continuation of Grove's comment by making the issue, were you in favor of this bad law that people didn't like, or were you in favor of constructive conservative changes, he gained the advantage.
The second thing he did is he put it in a broader frame, which was the president uh you did you want to send somebody to be a check and a balance on the president, or did you want to send somebody up there who'd vote for these kind of things routinely?
He made it clear he was going to go to Washington to make it work.
In order to get Democrats and independents to vote for him, he had to say, I'm gonna do what I think is right for the country, and if that means I'm supporting the president sometimes, fine.
If it means that I'm opposing the president, fine, I'm gonna do what I think is right.
Now, I don't know if Jolly ever actually said, hey, vote for me.
If I have to support Obama sometimes, I will.
I know it's a big it's a big wet dream for these Republican establishment types to talk about making Washington work and bipartisanship.
They just they have orgasms over that uh whole premise.
And they also have orgasms as you're getting the independence, winning the independents and uh and uh independent Democrats.
Can't win if you don't do that.
I told you I talked to a a an elected Republican may run for president last week.
He said to me, Rush, Republicans can't win simply by turning out their base anymore.
Democrats can, we can't.
I said, Now wait a minute.
There were four million Republicans that did not vote in 2012 for Mitt Romney.
They sat home.
If they'd have shown up, that's the base.
We would have won.
What do you mean we can't win?
What is this idea that it's always us?
We are the ones that always have to water down what we believe in in order to attract Democrats and by the way, Romney won a majority of the independents, and he lost the election.
So I I here's the danger, and I'm just repeat this one more time.
Because this to me is really important.
We've got the Democrats on the ropes.
This this election of November potentially could be a massive landslide defeat for them.
I'm not saying landslide win for the Republicans because there isn't going to be a singular Republican idea, nor is there going to be a Republican candidate that House elections are going to be about.
It's going to be, they're going to nationalize these elections, and they're going to they're gonna the elections will be on the basis of what that member of Congress will do, uh, not in terms of things for the district, but nationally, and that's smart.
But this is gonna be a referendum on Obama.
It's gonna be a referendum on the Democrats.
It's gonna be a referendum on Obama care.
Now, the Democrats, let's look at the Senate.
Senate Democrats.
There are some learned commentators who have already claimed the Senate is lost.
Republicans have already won it.
No, wrong way to put it.
That the Democrats have already lost it.
Because the Republicans aren't doing anything really.
They're just gonna sit there and and capitalize on the anti-Obamacare sentiment that's out there.
But that sentiment has to survive.
I mean, if we're we're only in in March here.
I know it's way too early to be sitting back and relying strictly on this opposition to Obamacare holding up, who knows?
It probably will.
But here's the thing.
You've got these Senate Democrats who voted for Obamacare.
They're running for re-election.
And if the Republicans aren't careful, they're going to let these Democrats back in their races.
If the Republicans suggest that fixing Obamacare is what needs to be done, then they are just rolling out the red carpet for these in-trouble Democrats to get back in and maybe win.
Because the Democrats in the Senate all voted for Obamacare, and that's what's hurting them.
But if they come up and say, you know what, this isn't what I voted for.
Obamacare's changed so many times, I don't think you can hold me accountable for what's happened to it.
This is not what I voted for.
What I voted for would have Worked.
But this is not what I voted for.
And I agree with my Republican opponent that what we need to do here is fix it.
Well, you have just let a Democrat destined to lose back in the race.
They're going to have to be really careful about this.
If they make a big Republicans, if they make a big, big deal out of fixing, leaving it intact and fixing it, then sorry, there's no reason to get rid of Democrats.
I'm just giving you the real world.
If you're going to leave it intact, leave the guys intact that didn't let them fix it.
I guess such a trap, this whole fix it versus repeal it, get rid of it.
It's such a trap.
And I'm talking about winning elections.
And then this idea that we've somehow got to go out, can't win unless we get independents and Democrats, and that that's what Jolly did.
Um how he did it was by talking a little bit like it.
I this is very, very puzzling, troubling, upsetting, and it's it seems like we're getting ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, as they say.
Brief time out.
We're gonna come back and your turn as we head back to the phones.
Don't go away.
And welcome back, open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh executing a scientist host duties flawlessly.
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't have time to search everything when I'm doing this program, and you would not believe the things I have coming at me every moment of this program, but I've tried.
I have gone back and I have tried, I've just looked at a YouTube ad.
I've read some things, I cannot find any evidence of David Jolly ever talking about fixing Obamacare.
You know why?
It can't be.
Obamacare cannot be fixed.
It is so bad they can't even implement it.
I'm sorry to yell.
I just I start yelling when I feel like I somehow am not getting through.
Or when what I'm up against is so ridiculously unsensible that I feel I gotta raise my voice to get through it.
Obamacare cannot be fixed, folks.
It is such a disaster.
It's destroying people's lives.
Talked about this at the end of the program yesterday.
We had a guy call, and he he can't afford his premiums.
He's working.
The people that God bless them make up this country, make this country work.
The people who are working, they're the ones getting the shaft every moment they get up and look around.
They're being blamed, they're being targeted.
Meanwhile, a growing number of people aren't working, and somehow they get all the sympathy, they get the victim status, they get all the benefits.
This thing is so bad, they're having to delay every fundamental aspect of it, because if they don't, it is so bad there might not be a Democrat Party if it were fully implemented.
It's that bad.
There is no fixing it.
This cannot be fixed.
You can't go get a there's no repair kit.
Hell, you can't even find an honest owner's manual for this piece of malarkey.
But I've looked at Jolly.
I can't find any evidence of him ever talking about fixing Obamacare.
In his ads and in his debates, campaign appearances, he promises to repeal Obamacare, period.
Now he was on Scarborough today, so he goes on MSNBC.
Oh, yeah, I'll be willing to work with the president.
But then he said, on reducing the size of government.
He said he wasn't gonna compromise his core beliefs.
But of course he said he'd work with the president.
Hell you gotta say that, I guess.
But uh he talked about smaller government.
He called he talked about tax cuts.
This woman was for amnesty.
This woman tried to tag him as a global warming denial.
Everything the Democrats threw at him didn't work.
And this idea that he won because he wasn't strident and didn't want to totally repeal Obama, it just...
You know, it really is problematic the way the Republican establishment is trying to mischaracterize this victory and why it happened.
It's like there is no Republican Party.
This is a this is a slam.
Don't care what happened.
The Democrats are worried sick about it.
That's why guys like Bob Beckle and everybody running around cautioning the Republicans, don't try to win these elections just running against Obama, as though they really want us to win.
They're really trying to help us.
So when some Democrat strategist warns us not to take the wrong message from this win, what's the wrong message?
Well, the wrong message is that you can win by running against Obamacare.
You guys be making a what they're telling us is Obamacare is the end of us.
And we would really hope that you guys are so stupid that we can talk you out of running against it.
Which is what they're trying to do.
Here's um here's Elaine, Granville, Michigan.
As we head back to the phones on open line Friday, great to have you here.
Hello.
Oh, thank you, Mr. Limbaugh, for taking my call.
I am so excited.
I had to call in.
I was listening to Megan yesterday about waiting for her book today.
Well, we received ours yesterday, but I wanted to refer back to your first book.
She teaches social studies.
She has made your first book part of her curriculum.
She was just ecstatic over the book.
She hopes you do a whole series of it.
Her students are so enthused over it that they requested copies of it for their Christmas gift.
I I am just so thrilled, and she is just in your corner with your series of books, or whole what she's hoping is a series of books anyway.
She begged for your second book for her birthday present.
So when is her birthday?
When is her birthday?
Her birthday is April, but um she's going to get it early.
Right.
Well, you already got it for her, is that what you're saying?
Yes.
Yep.
It came in the mail yesterday.
Wow.
Well, I also have to tell you, I'm a convert to your side of the uh political aisle.
Uh I used to be one of those uninformed voters that I hear you mention.
Low information voters, yes.
Interesting.
My husband was after me constantly.
You need to listen to Rush Limbaugh.
You need to listen to Rush Limba.
So I finally did.
Well, I'm I'm fully in agreement with you.
I I'm so sorry I placed all those votes beforehand.
I feel like I was uh part of the problem that helped get us here, but you've straightened me out.
You can never be part of the problem if you're with us now.
So you should not even think of yourself as that.
You are now part of the solution.
And so is your daughter.
So is your your daughter.
Isn't that fabulous?
That is.
I mean, and I I you need to tell her how uh honored I am, seriously honored and flattered that she thinks the book has that kind of value.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Well, she wants to get the truth out.
She doesn't want history changed.
Well, it's like we I tell you, uh a lot of people think that I'm exaggerating what's going on in uh elementary school.
We had a we had a woman at call the other day who said that where was this thousand oaks, California where this woman's daughter was in a play.
Yeah, Thousand Oaks, California, which is uh it's not entirely a liberal enclave either.
And this woman's daughter was in some Christmas play or school play, uh, ten years old, and they were singing songs that were written specifically for the play, and that the thrust of it was that the pilgrims brought syphilis and smallpox, and they basically corrupted what was the Indians' land and country.
And I said, See, folks, this is exactly why I'm doing these books.
This is what's being taught.
That the the the pilgrims or Christopher Columbus, you name it, the white Europeans came here and destroyed what was a great place, polluted it, corrupted it, brought racism, sexism, big this is taught.
And And this woman had evidence of it.
She said she was shocked that she was the only parent that seemed bothered by it.
And I said she probably wasn't.
They're just scared.
They're afraid if they complain to the school that they're gonna hurt their kid.
Within the in the grade.
So look, uh Elaine, I want to send your daughter, the fifth grade teacher, a signed copy of the second book.
I don't I don't you go ahead and give her yours, because I don't want to take away from you the gift that you were giving her.
But I want you to tell her that you called and you got through here, and I want you to tell her that I was so appreciative of what she's doing and how she's using it that I wanted to send her one too.
Oh, Mr. Limbaugh, that is that is fantastic.
So the one that you give her, she can mark up and you and I'm gonna send, you know what else?
I'm gonna send an audio copy of both of them.
You never know uh if she's not feeling well one day teaching the class, you know, put in uh audio version for twenty minutes or thirty minutes, take a break.
I'll bet the students would love it and be captivated by it.
So my gosh, thank you so much.
I'm taking you for her because I know she's gonna be ecstatic.
Does she where does she teach?
Not the school, but where?
What state?
What?
In Michigan.
She w lives near you.
Um not too far, uh-huh.
She's near the Indiana border down that way.
But yeah.
Well, it's nice to have her so close.
Yes, it is.
Well, good.
Uh you hang on here, Elaine, so that I can um have Snerdley get your address.
And we'll get this stuff sent out to you as as quickly.
Snerdly, on the note there, make sure you write autograph copy.
New book.
So that we can keep all this straight.
That'd be right there.
Don't go away.
Okay, back we go.
Open line Friday.
Judy in Dayton, Ohio.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you so much, Rush.
I have a theory on the missing plane.
It's gonna be a little different.
I think it blew it flew into something akin to the Bermuda Triangle.
And it is gone.
Um during World War II, there were five planes that flew into the Bermuda Triangle.
There they were it was they were army planes on a mission.
They they disappeared.
The first search plane going after them disappeared in the second one too.
So what is this, the bamboo triangle?
Or something like that.
I've heard that uh there's some a triangle off the coast of China or Vietnam, and it's like a dro devil's triangle or some sort, and they things disappear.
So I don't know.
Yeah, I was it's interesting.
It really the timing of your call is somewhat interesting because it was uh w within the last month.
You know, I read voluminously, and I read, I read everything that I that i I don't care if it's interesting to me, I'll read it.
Could be about anything.
I ran across uh I don't remember where, don't remember where it was published, but a story on the Bermuda Triangle and how that whole legend got started and uh efforts to establish that there was something to it.
It it it's it's uh got unique weather patterns and so forth.
Um but the the story basically poo-pooed the whole notion that there was something dynamically dangerous about that particular area of the planet that doomed ships and airplanes going through it, said it as largely just series of coincidences, and it's not nearly as many as people think.
That it's like a lot of legends and mysteries and uh supernatural things that's been expanded and and and exaggerated and built upon far bigger than what it actually was in terms of the number of lost aircraft and ships in there.
Right.
But I understand that aircraft have dials that just go crazy at certain times and and they lose direction.
So I guess I you know I don't know.
It's a guess.
Yeah.
Well you know, I I I I I think I saw episode of the X-Files where uh gauges and airplanes were going nuts flying through there too.
You never know.
You never know.
Um so but do you think the airplane's gone?
You think it just got swallowed up by the by the bamboo triangle?
It's just gone?
I'm I'm guessing that it may have.
And I mean it has to go somewhere.
Matter, matter is matter.
Physics is it has to be somewhere.
Even if it's in a gazillion pieces, it's got to be somewhere.
Matter is matter.
Things just don't.
Strange things happen.
I don't know.
I mean it uh I don't know.
Well, it's interesting.
It's in now I wasn't gonna mention this.
Since we're talking about the Bermuda Triangle, a lot of movies made about the Bermuda Bermuda Triangle.
I remember you, I don't remember the title of this, but you might remember there was a movie made that involved uh a World War II aircraft carrier being no a modern day pleasure craft, like a Gilligan's Island type thing, only privately owned, somehow being transported back to near Hawaii during Pearl Harbor.
Somehow they ended up in a time warp, and they're sailing along.
They didn't know this had happened, and all of it, they look up and there's Japanese zeros attacking them.
Except it was 1990 something when this thing was made.
So it could be something like that.
Uh Judy, uh, you just never know.
I'll repeat my theory because I opened the program with it.
Because frankly, folks, uh, I know it's a big mystery, and I know that it is very captivating, but at the same time, I've had my fill of people who don't know anything telling us what happened.
I I'm becoming less and less tolerant of expert opinion that is totally ignorant.
Nobody knows what happened here.
So what I decided to do, okay, let's apply intelligence guided by experience and use a little logic.
We got a missing airplane.
But we after that, we've got nothing but conflicting data.
The latest conflicting data is that the engines kept sending data, pinging data, satellite four hours after all other communications ceased.
Experts have said, wait a minute, that can't happen.
The engines, and then expert said it can happen.
And then they said no, it can't.
They said, well, it didn't in this case.
And then others said it did.
You had CNN saying one thing, Wall Street Journal saying another, AP saying another.
Then we have the change of course.
Then we had I mean, everything.
So what I decided to do was take a look at the various different teams searching for this airplane.
And I decided which of the search parties has the better equipment, the highest level of technology, maybe the highest the most sense.
And I decided that this airplane, if it's missing, is probably where the United States is looking for.
Because my assumption is that we have most of the satellites up there, most of the satellites that we have are the best, and there's a lot up there that we don't know.
Their capability.
A lot of them are spy satellites.
A lot of them probably a lot is known about this airplane that is not being told to us.
Because to tell us would be to reveal how we know, and they can't do that.
So I'm assuming that we're the smartest guys, we're the superpower that we know something that the other guys don't.
So I'm assuming that where we're looking is where it is.
Then, okay, how did it get there?
Well, we're told that the engines kept sending data long after the other communication systems on the plane stopped.
How can that be?
Well, I started thinking, I know a little bit about this.
So I said, maybe there was a massive, like a circuit breaker.
It's a giant electrical catastrophic electrical failure on the airplane, but the engines kept going.
So the airplane has no electronics.
It can't use a radio, it can't use its transponders, it can't ping satellites, it can't even turn on its lights inside or out.
Therefore, it's nighttime and a thing is invisible.
The only thing I haven't looked at is was it cloudy for parts of this route?
Was there a moon?
I didn't look, but I know that we're coming up on a full moon pretty soon, so there had to be some moonlight.
But if there were clouds, I don't know.
So if this circumstance is right so far, if they've got engine power, but they have no other power.
Can they steer the airplane?
Can they turn it around?
Obviously, they did.
It changed course.
So I think, okay, maybe headed back home, which would be Kuala Lumpur.
That was the takeoff point.
So they're trying to get back, but what are they up there?
Well, there's Vietnam and there's the ChICOMs, and there's all kinds of hostile little countries over there that are very worried that some, like the North Koreans or the Chicoms might attack them, bomb them, and they look on their radar, and there's this thing up there.
But it's not answering any radio calls.
It doesn't have any lights.
It's a flying object that can't identify itself and does not respond to requests.
So maybe one of these little countries worried about being attacked, launches some fighter jets up there to find out what the hell's flying over their country.
And they get up there and they can't see it.
They can radar it, but they can't, there are no lights on this thing.
And even though it looks like a Boeing jetliner, there aren't any lights on it, and it's not responding, and it's being told you better get out of our airspace.
You better get down, you better, and it's not doing that.
And maybe they just shot it down.
Now, obviously, the wrong the thing about that theory is giant plane like that gets shot down, somebody would see it.
Somebody would know it.
You just don't shoot an airplane out of the sky and have nobody know it.
People on the ground, it has to land somewhere.
It has to broke out, it has to be a fireball up there if it's shot down.
But I mean, my theory's as good as any other experts out there.
And it was fun to come up with, at least from the electronic standpoint, not for the people on board, don't misunderstand.
The other, the other possibility is, and here's the the latest thing we learned is that this thing, when it changed route, it ended up, there are corridors up there.
There are highways in the in the sky.
And when you're on an IFR flight plan, you're assigned a highway.
Every I every flight plan is assigned a route.
There is a route, New York to London.
Involves altitude, waypoints along the way that you don't.
Sometimes you get a great circle route and fly straight, but not often they're just slight zigzags, just the tiniest.
And it's for this kind of purpose.
We will keep track of an airplane's progress.
The route that they ended up on after changing course would take them as if they were flying to Dubai or Riyadh or someplace in the Middle East.
That's the course they changed to.
So it could have been hijacked and the pilots could have been either ordered under threat of death to fly the route or the pilots could have been incapacitated and the hijackers took over and flew it.
Alu Akbar Airlines, who knows?
The point is nobody does, but...
But it's even the uh the Air France jetting it was that exploded because of turbulence leaving Brazil, they found that wreckage in a day and a half in the ocean.
Now they had a general idea where it was headed.
But the mystery has but then I'm confusing with something that they did find in a day and a half.
Um the Soviets shut down KAL 007, remember because there was a guy who was opposed to the trilateral commission on board.
Remember that?
What was his name?
What was his name?
A big Bercher guy, John Birch Society members on board KAL 007, and the Russians shot it down not far from the Kumchatka P Peninsula.
It was a Korean Airlines 747 shot down.
And the same thing.
And this thing supposedly would not change course despite being ordered to by the Soviet MiGs.
They shot it down.
It has happened.
Brief timeout over Mind Friday will continue after this.
Don't go.
The one thing about this missing Malaysian jet that we will learn at some point is that global warming played a role.
Well, you you you sit in there, you poo-poo it, and you laugh at it, but when this is all said and done, when everything, whatever it is is known, climate change, global warming will no doubt be inserted as a factor.
Even if that means that it caused the plane to slip into the space-time continuum.
Okay, Jeff in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Great to have you, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Glad you waited.
Hi.
Hey, Rajna, great show.
I've been defending you for years against everybody that says that uh you're wrong, but uh I truly respect you.
And uh You know, you sound like Matthew McConaughey.
You sound to me, you sound just like Matthew McConaughey.
Duh.
No, you do, you do.
Well, uh I I've been out since three o'clock yesterday, and so's he's not mean uh make uh surgily mad, but I'm on the same page with you about global warming.
Who's to say what's normal, right?
Well, yeah, in terms of what is the normal temperature, what is the normal degree?
Yeah, what is normal?
How do we know what normal is on the planet?
Exactly right.
Good question.
Yeah.
Well, but I'm saying how do we get back to normal in America?
How how do we get there?
I I may have worded it wrong as sturdy, but um I'm just wondering, because it's it's everything's spinning out of control.
So how do you think we should get America back to normal and and what is normal?
Wait a minute.
Who's saying that we need to get America back to normal?
Well, you hear uh crews and some of the politicians say let's take America back and a couple cars go god, I remember the Reagan era, and you know, but Yeah, but they're not saying take America back to normal.
They're not saying that.
They're just uh they want to return it to the they want to return it to the principles of the founding.
They want to take it back to the to the era of individuality and self-reliance, not big government taking care of the country was never found up with the idea of 92 million Americans not working, being supported by the rest of them.
That's not that's not what this country was designed for or how it was put together.
Yeah, that's why I paid a big load myself, but yeah, if I'm going, how do we how do we get everything kind of calmed down and and you know, back to normal again?
Well, what is normal to you?
Well, normal is, you know, like I respect you.
You seem to have hold a wife for all these years and haven't you stirred away and uh you know you go to work every day, but I'm I'm uh deliver at night time I'm amongst the walking dead on the street.
That's like you know, strong guys holding signs up bumming money when they can do backflips on an off ramp and then they want my money, it's that's not normal, you know.
If you can do a backflip on an off ramp to get money, you could certainly go do what I'm doing for a living.
Well, we've always had beggars.
Uh we've we've always had welfare cheats.
Uh we we've I mean they're they've always any w wherever you go on the on the earth, there's always been all kinds of people in humanity.
Uh just because you got welfare recipients on interstate off ramps doesn't mean anything.
Yeah.
Now when they bug you the stoplight, that's when it bothers me.
And On ramp, you can just speed ride by 'em.
Yeah.
So you just see normal as just uh kind of.
I don't, you know, I don't this this whole notion of normal, I'm using normal in a scientific sense because that is the way this global warming stuff is presented.
My only point is I'm trying to I'm trying to persuade people that the people m trying to tell us there is massive climate change going on had better tell us what the norm is.
You have the average temperature, the average high, the average.
What's the norm?
If we don't know what the norm is, we can't tell if we've got excessive warming or cooling.
And my only point is, who are we to say that in whatever numbers of thousands of years that what it is when we happen to be alive is what is normal.
Maybe the ice ages are what's normal.
Maybe the dust bowl is what's normal.
How do we know what the hell normal is?
Aren't we being extremely vain to claim that the climate as it is right now is normal and that any variation is a crisis caused by us?
It's absurd.
It's illogical, makes no sense whatsoever, which means it's a perfect democratic cause.
Open line Friday, a brief break here at the top of the hour.
