Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program documented to be almost always right, 99.7% at a time.
It's great to have you back, folks.
I'm Rush Limboy, your highly trained broadcast specialist, got to race through some things here.
I don't want to take two hours to get through all this data that I've got here because it's uh it's all pouring in rapidly.
And I want to be able to say I got it in, got it under the belt, and move on so that we have a baseline or foundation of information that you know that then can then be built upon.
If you want to be on the program, it's 800-282-288-2 in the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Julia Pearson's gone from the Secret Service, and her resignation has launched a top-to-bottom review of the agency.
Uh and what in the world is going on?
And I'm going to tell you, I just want to address this one more time.
If people inside the White House have sent instructions to the Secret Service, get out.
Don't we don't want your my point is what what's been going on in there?
This is really inexplicable.
All these intrusions, all these successful break-ins at the White House.
People are not paying attention.
People are not looking.
There has to be a reason for this.
They have no idea what it could be.
None whatsoever.
I just know that this has never happened before like this.
The Secret Service has never been this porous.
It's never allowed this kind of semi-regular intrusion on the property and in the uh the building uh itself.
Now, one thing that has been learned in the spring, Julia Pearson, who is now out as director, she was in charge for 18 months.
And it uh some things have come to light.
She's she's become the subject of derision among some lower level agents for this is what interests me for accommodating the White House staff's wishes for less cumbersome security over the warnings of her tactical teams.
So what that means is some of the White House staff was telling her, look, leave us alone.
Just bug out.
You don't need to see what's going on in here.
We don't we don't want you, and she did.
Rather than accept the advice of the tactical team saying, no way, we're we're not, but she did.
This kind of stuff is coming out now.
And eventually, Trey Gowdy may get to the bottom of this.
We'll just have to wait and see.
But in the spring, this past spring, Julia Pearson was irate at what she considered the excessive security measures that her team had planned for the U.S. Africa Leaders Summit.
That happened not too long ago, but the planning for it was last spring.
And her team demanded, well, she demanded that the dismantle extra layers of fencing.
She demanded they reopen closed streets because she didn't want everybody inconvenienced by gridlock.
Supervisors who had mapped out the security plan for the U.S. Africa Leaders Summit said they were taken aback when Pearson said to them, we need to be more like Disney World.
We need to be more friendly and inviting.
The Secret Service director said we need to be more like Disney World.
She worked at Disney World in Haskruel.
She was a costume character and a park attendant.
Folks, again, what are we dealing with here?
Political correctness or whatever the hell else you want to call it.
We need the Secret Service, we need to be more friendly and inviting.
You it makes no sense.
It literally makes no sense.
I and exactly mission accomplished, by the way, because that's what it became.
You know, Disney World, happiest place on earth.
The White House must be a version of that, whatever it means.
Folks, I don't even want to speculate, but that just boggles the mind.
More inviting.
The Secret Service is supposed to intimidate and scare the hell out of people.
You see the Secret Service, you're supposed to turn around and go the other way.
You're not supposed to feel invited?
I don't know.
This is one of many little items here.
I wanted to make sure that I uh I got it.
Now back to the back to the Ebola thing.
The Department of Health has confirmed a patient is currently in isolation.
They're going testing in Honolulu.
The Hawaii Nurses Association said the person's being treated at the Queen's Medical Center.
It turns out we only know about this because of the nurses' union.
The nurses union made this public.
A message sent to all employees Wednesday, told them that the hospital's evaluating a patient for possible symptoms that may be consistent with Ebola.
The union that represents the nurses was tipped off about the message on Wednesday afternoon.
Joan Kraft, president Hawaii Nurses Association, immediately contacted the hospital for assurance that safety procedures are in place to protect the nurses.
Now, why all the tap dancing here?
Why can't the officials just say the person has Ebola-like symptoms and they've been to West Africa recently?
What is gained by playing with words like this?
All it does is make everybody distrust the authorities even more.
Why not just be upfront about this?
By the way, isn't that the responsible thing to do?
I know, I know everybody's worried about panic.
But you imagine the panic if you lie to everybody and say, nothing to see here, nothing to worry about, and then there's an outbreak.
You want to talk about panic?
It would seem to me that the authorities here want to be trusted and believed.
And they and then they want their authority to be respected.
And all this tap dancing around here and trying to keep things from people is only going to ratchet up suspicion from the New York Times.
We know who the patient in Dallas is.
He's been identified as Thomas Eric Duncan.
He's a resident of Monrovia in his mid-40s.
He flew to Dallas, was later found to have the Ebola virus, and it was the Liberian government that successfully identified him.
So we now know he is not an American citizen.
Why was this information withheld?
They ran through hoops the past couple days trying to keep the identity of the patient.
I know medical health security, safety, privacy.
This is not an American citizen here.
Let me just give you this in a nutshell.
Thomas Eric Duncan's a Liberian citizen.
He had direct contact, physical contact with a woman whom he knew died of Ebola.
He had physical contact with.
He knew that others who had contact with the same woman at the same time had died.
But he did not tell the medical staff in Dallas any of this.
Also, we now learned that Mr. Duncan had relatives in Dallas who he said were telling him to come live with them.
And we now know that he quit his job with FedEx in Liberia, giving no reason before getting on the plane to Dallas.
All of which indicates that Thomas Eric Duncan was intending to move in with his family, his relatives here in Dallas.
The odds are that they are people have overstayed their visas and are here, quote unquote, illegally.
And that's another thing that we won't be told.
Can you imagine the fire storm if that kind of thing gets out?
So they'll try to cover that up because we're preparing to do executive amnesty here after the Mary Landru runoff in December.
That's what we're waiting on, by the way, for executive amnesty.
We can't do Obama's not going to do anything that's going to impair the Democrats' chance at winning the Senate.
That's a whole nother subject I want to get into today, too, by the way.
Michael Barone has a column out there saying it's going to be a wave.
They just don't know how big.
Yet other people are telling me nope, this thing is going to come down to a runoff between in two races, Louisiana and Georgia.
So there's nobody really knows, but the opinions are far and wide on it.
And I want to treat you all of it as the program unfolds.
Now, for the record, people from Liberia have the fifth highest visa overstay rate in the United States.
Now, how many times did the administration and the news media make fun of or mock people for suggesting that somebody might come across the border with Ebola?
Ever since Ebola outbreak occurred, coupled with our open borders, there have been people warning.
Are we doing anything?
Are we are we being vigilant?
Are we making sure that this disease is going to be kept out of the country?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, there's nothing to worry about.
Obama goes out.
It's really no, it ain't gonna happen.
It's a hard disease to get the CDC guy.
It isn't gonna happen.
And everybody who worried about it was mocked and made fun of, and there were there were uh intimations that we were listening to racists and bigots.
And that's what it means.
If you if you want steps to be taken to protect your country and the population of your country and yourself and your family, you're bigot.
See, you are not behaving properly according to the tenets of political correctness.
Well, guess what, folks?
Here's a simple little fact of life.
Every international airline is a border.
And now we have had somebody come across the border carrying Ebola with them, who lied at every step of the process to get here, which makes total sense.
CDC director said yes.
Oh, well, we're, you know, we're we're we're we're taking their body temperatures before they get on the plane in Africa.
Really, how are we doing that?
Well, we zap them with this labor uh laser device.
This laser device tells us whether they're running a fever or not.
And then we ask them if they've got Ebola.
Oh, you ask them if they've got Ebola, and you expect them to say yes, right?
As they're on the verge of getting on an airplane out of Africa.
So somebody came across the border carrying Ebola with them, somebody who was visiting probably illegal aliens family, somebody who was probably going to become an illegal alien himself.
Mr. Duncan, who has a family or was a family friend, also a tenant in a house owned by the Williams family, rode in the taxi in the front pasture seat while Ms. Williams, her father and her brother Sonny Boy, shared the back seat, her parents said.
Mr. Duncan then helped carry Ms. Williams, who was no longer able to walk back to the family home that evening.
Never mind all the warnings about touching Ebola patients.
Uh and all the while, the president and everybody else are telling us that there's nothing to see here.
CBS News, the patient identified as Thomas Eric Duncan by CBS Dallas Station KTVT, left Monrovia Liberty or Liberia on September 19th aboard a Brussels Airlines jet to the Belgian Capitol, according to a Belgian official.
After a layover of seven hours, he boarded United Flight 951 to Dulles.
After another layover of three hours, he flew 882 from Dulles to Dallas.
Airline confirmed all this.
How many people may have come in contact with him during these three flights and these uh layovers?
How many people sat in his seat on subsequent flights?
And note, ladies and gentlemen, this detail buried at the bottom of this story, the CDC typically notifies an airline when it learns that an infectious person traveled on that carrier.
The airline then turns over the flight manifest of the CDC, and health officials notify other passengers while the airline deals with crew members.
In this case, the CDC did tell United, but not the public, what flights the man took.
Why is that?
Whatever happened to the public's right to know.
And what about the other airlines he used besides United?
And here's the answer.
It's right here.
In an interview Wednesday with the AP, Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC, suggested that telling the public and being open about this would divert public health resources away from controlling an outbreak of the virus.
How in the world does that happen?
How does telling more people about it divert resources from controlling it?
This guy is saying things that literally are contradictory and make no sense.
CDC told United Airlines how much more resources would it take for him to tell other airlines and the public in general.
Bottom line is they know things are not telling you.
We know why.
They're afraid of causing a panic, but I think there's a larger reason.
Larger reason is they may not know what they're dealing with here.
We'll be back after that.
Okay, back to the phones when we go.
This is to what is this?
Well, it looks like Samamish Washington.
I hope I'm pronouncing that right.
I'm pronouncing it phonetically.
Dave, welcome to the program, sir.
Great to have you here.
Hello.
Thanks, Rush.
And yes, you got it right.
It is Samamish Washington.
All right, cool.
I you know, I I was listening to you at the top of the hour, and you were, if I heard you correctly, you said that if if the U.S. was able to develop a vaccine, that the comment would be to be fair, we would send it all to Africa.
Did I did I hear that correct?
Or did I miss it?
Yeah, you heard that correct.
I mean, that's not the whole context, but you you heard me say that.
But isn't that where it should go?
I mean, we don't have an outbreak here.
We don't have the issue.
Well, see, that's the context.
What I'm what I'm telling you.
No, this was all based on the fact that if there is one here, the politically correct thing is going to be to treat us last.
That's the only fair way to that's what's going to be said.
That's what's going to.
My point was this.
If we develop a vaccine and there's an outbreak here and we use it on Americans first, there's going to be hell to pay from the politically correct crowd for not sending it to Africa first or sharing it equally or what have you.
Yeah, but but is it is it is this a political thing, or is this just a health thing that, you know, if the if the if the mountains are burning in one spot, that's where you're going to send the water, right?
You're going to focus all your water to concentrate where the where the outbreak is formed.
Look, I'm glad you called because you're missing a key element.
I am all of this that I'm predicting to happen.
I'm telling people how the politically correct look at things, deal with things, and manage things.
I can give you examples of where a forest has been burning and the politically correct said it deserves to burn, we shouldn't have been clear-cutting in there, and nature says, and don't put the fire out.
That is a politically correct way of dealing with forest fires in a lot of places.
You would these people are nuts.
My point was this.
If there is an outbreak here, and we do develop a vaccine before anybody else in the world has developed it.
If we do not send it out and treat other people with it first, if we if we treat our own people with it, I'm just telling you the prediction, the American the politically correct are going to chastise and berate this country as being selfish and bigoted and racist for hoarding the treatment for its own citizens.
Gotcha.
It was able it was a prediction.
I'm not telling you what should or shouldn't happen.
We've already sent the vaccine to Africa, and by the way, it's gone.
Every bit of it that has been manufactured has been used.
It's not a vaccine, really, it's a treatment.
It works in some people, doesn't work in others.
It's the stuff that comes in the tobacco plant, a specific tobacco plant in Kentucky, and we're out of it.
And you know, the reason I made the prediction is real simple.
A version of it's already happened.
There were two American charity workers who came down with Ebola in Africa, and we sent a jet, two trips to bring them back here and treat them.
And there were people who said, How dare you?
How dare you get those Americans out and treat them and leave the Africans to suffer?
How dare you?
And they're in the American media.
They post comments on Twitter, these anonymous trolls out there, but they're the politically correct are out there.
Any opportunity to berate the country to take it.
I'm just trying to warn people of what will happen.
My point has been that that years ago, when these kind of inane things were said, we laughed at it.
So nobody's going to believe this.
that's where we were wrong.
A whole bunch of low information people have signed on to the whole politically correct view of things and a way to look at things, which results in America being guilty and Americans feeling guilty over the fact that we're selfish and greedy and we're too powerful and we haven't shared the wealth and all this kind of stuff, that we're responsible for the spread of Ebola because we've denied them this that you and by the speaking of that, folks.
Do you know what the number one thing African nations could do?
Economic growth.
Why is it that the United States has all the ability here to come up with medical treatment, medical advances, serums, you name it.
Why do all these people want to come here?
Well, because we have advanced medical capabilities and health care.
And why?
We have a robust growing economy.
We have the resources to research it, develop it, invent it, mass produce it.
The per capita income, the median income in Liberia, $700 a year.
There's no way.
And the reason for that is the global warming people will not allow modernization because they think it causes pollution.
So the leftists that preach global warming are responsible for African nations being poor in large measure.
And that's why everybody has to come here.
Anyway, I've got to take a quick time out.
We'll be back.
All right, folks, let me just cut to the chase here.
Political correctness, this Ebola, a killer virus, is political.
We are in the process of having it politicized.
The left politicizes everything.
The Democrat Party politicizes everything.
Everything is politicized.
Now I can imagine some of you.
Come on, Rush.
What in the hell are you talking about?
Ebola politicised?
Damn right it is.
You know why?
What is Ebola threaten right now?
And don't say the American people and their health, because that's not how it's being looked at.
Ebola is threatening amnesty.
Amnesty is number one right now, politically, by the Democrat Party.
And hell, Republican Party, too, for all we know.
Amnesty.
The Washington establishment political class wants amnesty.
That equals open borders.
Ebola is a giant threat to that.
And so therefore Ebola has to be positioned as insignificant, much ado about nothing, nothing to see here.
Don't worry about it.
We've got it in control.
It's all in Africa.
We're dealing with it.
Ebola threatens amnesty.
It is political because it feeds into this insane fairness argument.
Fairness trumps everything.
Fairness and equality trumps everything.
There is no bill of rights for American citizens.
Meaning that the concept of sovereignty is under attack here.
And that's what open borders represents.
And if anything like Ebola comes along now and threatens the support of, and by the way, the regime isn't going to like this.
These ISIS guys just saw this, folks.
These ISIS guys feel left out.
There's a major potential scourge happening to the United States, and ISIS feels left out.
They want in on it.
So ISIS just put out a statement, a PR statement.
And they are planning, they say two things.
They are planning To infect their own soldiers with the disease and send them across the border into the United States to infect Americans.
The second thing ISIS is planning to do, they say they are going to sneak into the country and won't take much, southern border, and they are going to find out where the families of soldiers fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria live, and they're going to go to their houses and kill their families.
They're being very public.
That just crossed the wire half hour ago.
You don't think this stuff is political?
It's all political.
If you want to really understand, if you want to be able to answer the questions, why is the government doing X?
Why aren't they doing this?
Why are they doing this?
If you've got to be able to decipher what is the political harm to the Democrat Party of Ebola, and that's how you explain the way they're dealing with it.
It's no more complicated than that.
Now that may be hard to believe.
It may be hard to accept, but don't doubt me.
Because it's exactly what's happening.
Here's uh here's James in a rest in Virginia as we head back to the phones.
Welcome, sir.
I'm glad you waited.
Hi.
Hey, Rush.
Hi.
Um let's uh we let's I'm I'm calling because I I have a you know personal experience with the same sort of thing with um with AIDS back when it originally was discovered in South Florida in the early 80s.
My wife was a health educator for the Broward County Health Unit.
And one day she's at work doing doing what she does.
And there are people walking up and down the hall in uh full full body garb and uh respirators and masks and gloves, and it's like, what the heck's going on here?
She comes to find that there is a um there's a disease that's been not let's let's erase all the 30 years of what we know about AIDS and what we've come to learn.
This this is uh a disease has been discovered in the county.
Um the the entire population of people who are exhibiting the disease are gay men.
And uh my wife, being a health part of the unit that goes out and puts out information about health threats in the community, right?
Um one of her jobs would be to turn around and say, you know, we have this thing happening.
Uh this is what we know about it, this is what we don't know, you know.
Here's what we think you can do to protect yourself.
And they get a directive from the CDC.
I believe in writing, saying, thou shalt not say anything about it at all.
You will not mention this disease, you will not talk to people about it, you will not share this information.
And my wife, my wife had to not do that job anymore because she couldn't.
Well, wait a minute now.
You know, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Why did that directive come down?
Well, they they did not give you a why.
And and they wouldn't have.
They simply would have said, thou shalt not and left it at that.
Um I don't know what what threats they made or what penalties or God knows what was behind it, but that's exactly why they couldn't that nobody was supposed to talk about it, because it targeted only a specific group.
Yes, then you just roll forward through topics.
Unfair, unfair, not fair, and I shouldn't know, so we're not we're not gonna we're not gonna publicize that.
And almost immediately, I remember these days because the first thing I remember it was caused by Reagan, because he didn't talk about it, which meant Reagan didn't care, which meant Reagan was a homophobe, which meant that's why it's spreading.
And it was spreading uh so they had to say, you know what, it's not gay men.
It's not just gay men.
This is gonna infect the whole population, and they went through all kinds of explanations of why that was.
So, yeah, that there was a political correct uh or politically correct component to even even AIDS.
Yeah, you're right about that.
Meaning that all of this is nothing new.
And I guess this is part of my frustration here, folks.
I spent much of the last hour of the program yesterday explaining why I was talking about Ebola and and this other infectious disease in the way I am.
Uh Sometimes, and I've been here 25 years.
I assume everybody has been listening for 25 years, and I assume everybody knows what my objective here and what my mission and why I'm doing this.
And sometimes I lose sight of the fact that there are people who don't know that.
They're tuning in randomly or for the first time.
And if they're if they're not hearing the program, it's context.
I mean, you can't just pick one day, this program and listen to it and get anywhere close to what it's about.
Sometimes I I fail to realize or remember that I have to set the table again.
So I decided to set the table again yesterday to explain to people why all of this is being discussed the way I'm discussing it.
And it's because I'm trying to educate people about what liberalism is and who they are and what it results in.
And in this case, the manifestation of all this is political correctness and how it is detrimental, how it operates, and how it's going to determine that the right thing never ends up being done.
And how it determines incompetent people with no qualifications end up in positions of authority who do not know what they're doing.
So I spent about a half hour.
I told the editrix of the Limbaugh Letter.
I said, I want that to be our lead commentary in the next issue of the Limbaugh Letter.
So she's scrambling.
Because you know, this has to be rewritten.
You can't take a verbal transcription of a radio program and just rewrite it, has to be rewritten for the printed words.
So we're in the process of doing it.
That's how important I think this is.
But that's my after 25 years, the fact that I still have to explain it, part of its frustration.
Uh to me, it's simple to learn.
It's simple to understand, you know, uh what the Democrat Party is today, what they stand for.
And to me, it it's crystal clear.
Ebola is political because it threatens a part of the Democrat agenda.
I understand how difficult that is for people who are not immersed in the day-to-day machinations of politics to believe or accept.
Most people hate politics anyway, but the unfortunate thing is they don't believe Democrats do politics.
They only think Republicans do.
Uh Democrats are in compassion, fair stuff, happy malarkey.
So it's an ongoing uh, well, for lack of a better frame or phrase, education process here.
Uh is I really do believe that the solution to so much in this country is to disempower the left, get them out of leadership as they stop electing them, so they stop appointing like-minded incompetence.
For example, the the the this I don't know this woman, Julia Pearson, who was the Secret Service Director till yesterday when she resigned.
But she actually here's this African leaders' summit that Obama's hosting, and she's having people tear down the experts who have set up security perimeters and uh techniques, and she's demandingly tear it all down, claiming we need to be more like Disney World.
We need to be more inviting.
I'm thinking, Secret Service?
Somebody thinking this way.
The Secret Service ought never be seen.
These people ought never be in, other than when they show up to shadow them, protect them, uh, or what have you.
But the Secret Service ought not be why people are coming to the African Leader's Summit.
Disney World?
And we find out she worked there.
She was a costumed character, and she was uh she did a couple of other things.
The PR officer, I think I'm not sure which, but I mean, what that that's political correctness, if anything is, but it's clearly uncalled for.
It has no basis, and it's it's it's it's absurd.
And yet she thought it was totally legitimate and the right thing to do.
And I'm telling you, that's dangerous.
That's couple that with everything else that's been happening with easy access to the White House.
Oh, yeah, come on in.
We're just trying to make it like Disney World here.
Anyway, I gotta take a break here, folks, as we uh roll on in the fastest three hours of media.
Don't go away.
Here is Phil in Rochester, New York.
Phil, thank you for calling.
It's great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Uh, thanks, Rush.
Um, in my hand, I am holding an infrared thermometer.
I use it to take temperatures of uh material that I'm inspecting.
It uh operates between a distance of six to twenty-four inches and uh casts a red dot on the item that I'm taking a temperature of.
Now, I remember you saying yesterday uh, or heard rather in one of the sound bites that they're saying that they're taking these people's temperature from a distance.
That's right.
The director of uh the Centers for Disease Control said they're doing this while people are waiting to board airplanes in Africa to determine whether or not they have a temperature.
I'm uh taking the temperature of the side of my face right now, and it's uh telling me I'm 91.5 degrees.
Really?
And and how far away is the device from the side of your face?
Within the uh operational range of six to twenty-four inches of this particular device.
Well, you ought to be uh, let's see, 91 and uh 98.6.
You should be in deep trouble here.
Uh your body temperature is 91 degrees.
Mild hypothermia.
Yeah, you should actually you should probably be at the bottom of San Francisco Bay.
Yeah, so I think that's a good thing.
So the point is these things are not accurate.
That's your point, right?
Stick a uh thermometer in the ear of my child just in the hole, and I can see that that working, because uh obviously they have accurate readings with that, but I don't know what device they're using, but if it's an infrared thermometer.
They're not you can't look at that.
This is again, this is my point.
This is this is my point exactly.
So you have the CDC guy out there, boy.
We're taking every step imaginable to make sure that the sick don't get on those airplane.
Why?
We're conducting exhaustive interviews, and there's a form that they fill out, and they have to admit whether they have Ebola.
Really?
You think they're gonna do that?
Yeah, and then we got this thing, it takes our temperature.
We just aim it at them and it it reports back and so forth.
Um, one of two things.
Either this guy knows that what he's saying is full of it, and he just saying it, hoping he can convince us, or he's genuinely full of it and doesn't know what he's talking about.
Either way, uh, it does not inspire any confidence.
By the way, I should tell you that the uh family of Thomas Duncan, who's an Ebola patient in Dallas, his family's already complaining because he's not getting Z Map.
That's the theorem that we're out of.
There isn't any left.
ABC News is reporting that uh Joe Weeks, who lives with Duncan's sister, said the family's concerned that Duncan was admitted to the hospital and put in isolation on Sunday, but he has not received this drug, the Z Map serum.
I don't understand.
I don't I don't understand why he's not getting the Z MAP.
The manufactured drug has said they've run out of it.
It's experimental anyway.
This is the stuff that comes from a specific tobacco plant in uh in Kentucky.
And now the AP is reporting that Liberia plans to prosecute this guy, Mr. Duncan, who brought Ebola to the U.S. Liberian authorities say they plan to prosecute the man infected with Ebola who brought the disease to the U.S., saying he lied on his airport health questionnaire.
Really?
Anyway, what this all adds up to is that this man knew he had Ebola.
But we were told that he wasn't showing any symptoms.
And nobody should be worried.
If you came in contact, they told us this yesterday.
If you came in contact with this man on the airplane, you have nothing to worry about.
He was not showing symptoms.
Well, he had he'd come in contact with people suffering and who later died from it.
I mean, physical contact.
He knew when he got on the plate, lied in his questionnaire.
So he knew he was coming here.
And you can't look, don't misunderstand.
I mean, we're all human beings here, and the guy knows if he stays in Liberia, it's hopeless.
Who wouldn't want to come here?
That's the whole point.
Who wouldn't want to?
But I think that deserves a little bit of expansion.
Why is the U.S. the only place in the world that might offer hope here?
And again, it gets back.
It's not because we're better people.
It's not because we're smart.
We have had a capitalist economy which has rewarded the endless hours of research and development and marketing and production and sale.
A growing, thriving economy which allows people to pursue their dreams and their passions and to invent great things happens in the United States.
But in Liberia, Monrovia, the per capita income is $700 a year.
They have no economic growth.
They live under socialist regimes or worse.
Here comes a global warming movement telling them they can't modernize because that'll create pollution and more CO2, so they've got to stay poor.
It's just it's a death sentence for them.
So you can't blame this guy for wanting to come here to get treated.
That's why these things have to be dealt with by responsible people, authoritatively, who understand and honestly can tell us what we're dealing with here.
That's it, my friends, for this exciting busy broadcast hour.
But as always, at the end of the second hour, there's another hour to go.
And we'll get right to it as soon as we get back.
Which is be patient.
We'll be back here before you know it.
Pick up right where we left off here on the EIB network.
