Time Text
Right on.
I'm just sitting here watching CNN.
CNN has an exclusive.
This is CNN just did 10 minutes on how the waste of the Ebola patient hasn't been removed from the House.
It's still in there.
They had Anderson Cooper out there describing this in great detail.
They then did five minutes on how the Ebola patients sheets are still on the Ebola patient's bed in the house where the Ebola patient's waste hasn't been removed.
Now folks.
Shouldn't somebody be doing this?
It may be a bit much to ask the family to be doing this after all.
We don't require self-reliance of our own population anymore.
So shouldn't the CDC, shouldn't somebody be over there?
I mean, monitoring this?
Is it is this patient not being monitored?
We get a major news network.
Look at quarantine woman, patients sheet still in, but now they got another expert talking about this on CNN.
I wish I had the exclusive.
But I didn't.
They didn't call me to tell me this.
CNN unearthed it somehow.
And just like I have a, I checked the email during the break.
Rush, what happened?
You used to, if if a Secret Service director had said we need to be more like Disney World, you would have been laughing yourself.
I know that, you know, years past, we would have been.
And if it were an isolated thing, we still would be.
But it's becoming all too common.
These institutions, traditions, that's what I refer to them as, that have always defined our greatness that we've always had this utmost respect for.
We can the best people we had were there.
Look at what's falling apart here.
I mean, it is funny, but it's at the same time, it is really, it's not good.
And I it's it's it's not enough to say, well, if we elect a new president, we'll get this taken.
Because some of these people are in position, their career positions that do not leave when the president put them there, leaves.
And by the way, look at George W. Bush.
Look at all the people he left in place after he was uh inaugurated in in 2001, just to be fair.
Because of the controversy over the Florida recall, Bush thought it would be a sign of uh cooperation and and no hard feelings if he left a bunch of Clinton people in office at the Department of Justice and elsewhere.
Look what that got us.
Anyway, anyway, welcome back.
Great to have you.
We're here at 800-282-2882 and the email address Lrushbo at EIBNET.com.
Look at I wasn't gonna mention this.
I wasn't gonna talk about it, but since CNN is, let me find it here real quick.
There's a there's a there's a story about the the the the this this put in wrong stack.
I'd already dismissed Ebola patients vomit is the subject of this to the Ebola patients vomit covered Dallas Ebola patient vomited outside apartment on way to hospital.
That that is a Reuters story.
Shouldn't people in hazmat suits be cleaning this stuff up and removing it and the vomit outside the apartment?
What's you know, Moynihan said that was we give up trying to stop certain kinds of crime and we say you know what?
It's just the way the culture is now.
It's called defining deviancy down.
We are defining competence down.
We are now elevating incompetence to competence.
We're elevating incompetence to supremely qualified.
And that is the overall concern.
But look, there are other things here, and I want to get to them, as I told you I would from Reuters, a temperature goal set by almost 200 governments as the limit for global warming turns out is a poor guide to the planet's health and should be ditched.
This is a new study from Professors at the University of California, San Diego, they say that environmentalists need to give up on the U.N.'s temperature goals as the mission for the global warming movement.
Stop talking.
And why?
Because they're not rising.
The temperatures aren't going up, so they need to find some other objective, some other way of keeping you scared about global warming.
And here's a quote from the piece.
And they said the target was out of line with recent trends.
Temperatures have risen one and a half degrees Fahrenheit since about 1900, but have been virtually flat since 1998, despite higher emissions from fast.
So the increase CO2 is not raising the temperature, undercuts the primary theory of global warming prediction.
So they said now that blood pressure, heart rate, or body mass were all vital signs of health for a person, not just temperature.
So we need to take the equivalent of the Earth's blood pressure, the Earth's heart rate, and the Earth's body mass, and stop examining the Earth's temperature, because that's not working.
So the global warming advocates have been told by environmental swacos to ditch temperature calculations when talking about climate change because it's not working.
Because it isn't happening.
See, the evidence is there isn't any global warming.
So we have a problem because it's not about global warming.
It's about the advancement of leftist agendas and so forth, as we mentioned.
Okay, other things, Cleveland, Ohio, an Ohio woman and her partner, have sued a Chicago area sperm bank after she became pregnant with sperm donated by a black man instead of a white man, as she had intended.
Jennifer Cramblett was five months pregnant and happy with her life on April of 2012.
She and her partner had married months earlier in New York, and within days of the wedded bliss, she had become pregnant with donor sperm at a fertility clinic in Canton, Ohio.
Jennifer Cramblett, 36, and her partner Amanda Zincon, 29, were so elated that they called the Midwest Sperm Bank outside Chicago to reserve sperm from the same donor in the hope that Zincon would someday also have a child, because this one was Jennifer Cramblett's.
They both wanted to be moms.
And that's when Cramblett received some disturbing news, says a lawsuit filed Monday against the Midwest Sperm Bank in Cook County, Illinois.
She learned from an employee at the sperm.
You can't even count on sperm banks to get it right anymore.
See how this stuff just amplifies?
She learned from an employee at the Midwest Sperm Bank that she had been inseminated with sperm from donor 330, a black donor, not donor 380.
A white donor.
You see, Jennifer Cramblett and uh Amanda Zincon are white, and they had chosen sperm from a white guy, number 380, but some idiot misread 330 thought it was 380.
And Jennifer Crambler said, how could they make a mistake that was so personal?
How could they do this?
According to the lawsuit, her excitement about the pending birth has been replaced with anger, disappointment, and fear.
Because you see, they took a personal choice.
This is Jennifer Cramblets, but they took a personal choice, a personal decision that we made, and they took it upon themselves to make that choice for us out of pure negligence.
So the AP here tried to get hold of the Midwest Sperm Bank, and they didn't return calls.
And they tried to find the lawyer for the Midwest Sperm Bank, and they can't, they don't know who it is.
Now, Cramblett said she and Zincon love their two-year-old daughter Peyton very much.
And they wouldn't change anything about her, but they're concerned about raising her in the predominantly white community Where they live, because she's an African American baby.
Well, she's can't even say you can't, you can't even say.
Now, isn't there Snerdley's laughing?
He knows I'm caught here.
You know, you can't describe what happened here.
Uh isn't this racist?
What's wrong?
What's wrong with what's what's wrong with an African American baby?
Okay, it's a sperm bank screwed up.
They thought 330 was 380.
But human beings are human being.
They should be lucky.
They should feel fortunate that two women got married and can even have a baby.
Where's the gratitude?
Where's the appreciation of medical science?
Okay, so it's not exactly what they wanted, but whoever gets exactly what they want when they have a baby.
Whoever does.
There is no ideal baby.
I tell you, folks, this is what's wrong.
Why does this why not why not just be happy?
Facebook has apologized to drag queens for their naming policy.
Facebook is apologizing at drag queens and the transgender community for deleting accounts that use drag names like Lil Miss Hot Miss rather than legal names such as Bob Smith.
Facebook caught heat recently when it deleted several hundred accounts belonging to self-described drag queens, other performers, and members of the lesbian gay, bisexual, and transgender community.
Now, Facebook has long required its users to go by their real names.
On the site for security purposes to stand out from other social networks.
They don't want these wacko nicknames and pet names and so forth, because they want to be able to better target advertising to people.
But now Facebook says the spirit of its policy doesn't mean a person's legal name, but the authentic name they use in real life.
For Sister Roma, that's Sister Roma.
For Lil Miss Hot Mess, that's Little Ms. Hotness, said Chris Cox, Facebook's vice president of product in a blog post.
Now, Facebook is not changing the policy.
This is important to understand.
They're not changing the real names policy.
They're just changing the way they're going to enforce it.
The transgender law center, San Francisco-based transgender rights advocacy group, that met with Facebook over the issue, said that it's excited to work in good faith with Facebook to address all the concerns raised in today's.
Can I tell you what's really going on here?
Leave it to me.
These people, Lil Miss Hot Miss, and uh Sister Bliss or whatever.
They, and you can't blame them because they've been granted, they want special rules instead of the ones that apply to everybody else.
And they want special rules applied to their identity.
And so they are drag queens.
That's the most important thing about themselves.
And they want everybody to know they're drag queens or to have a pretty good idea.
And so being called Stephanie Smith when you're a drag queen doesn't quite work.
And so Facebook, rather than deal with the political pressure from the aggrieved LGBT communities, okay, go ahead.
You want to call yourself Lil Hot Mess, we're not going to enforce the policy.
But we're not going to change the policies.
You have to abide by the policy.
But we just have we have a bunch of groups that demand special treatment and special rules, and they are oftentimes acquiesced to.
This is from the Washington Free Beacon, the federal government spending nearly half a million dollars to find out why obese teenage girls have a hard time getting dates.
The National Institutes of Health has awarded $466,000 last week for the study, which will examine whether social skills have an impact on why fat girls have fewer dating experience than their less obese counterparts.
No, no.
And by the way, what is a dating experience?
In our day, yeah, it's a date.
No, no, it's not a dating experience.
It used to be a date, but no, no, no.
That doesn't cover it anymore.
Uh mounting evidence, by the way, even before they've begun the survey.
Listen to this.
Mounting evidence demonstrates that weight influences intimate relationship formation and sexual negotiations among adolescent girls.
This is from the grants abstract, meaning this is what they use to get the money.
Obese girls consistently report having fewer dating and sexual experiences, but more sexual risk behaviors once they are sexually active.
No studies have actually examined whether the interpersonal skills and intimate relationships of obese and non-obese girls differ.
You see, it could well be that obesity has nothing to do with it.
It could well be that that models and rail thin women have much better interpersonal skills than fat girls.
And because of that, it it's not fair whether the interpersonal it's not fair that the fat girls may not be as good at impersonal interpersonal skills and intimate relationships.
Fat girls are penalized.
Now, professors at the McGee Women's Research Institute and Foundation of Pittsburgh are going to try to answer this question over the next four years.
The end date for the project May 2018 study will specifically look at whether fat teenage girls develop relationship skills later in life, and it'll compare their trajectories of romantic and sexual relationship characteristics with thin girls.
The researchers will contrast obese and non-obese African American and white adolescent girls, too, to find out if obese African Americans have an even tougher time than obese white girls.
And so nearly a half million dollars.
Well, never mind.
I was going to ask about what happens if they become lesbians during the Here's By the way, since since I mentioned it, let's let's give you the little taste of it.
But Anderson Cooper, with his exclusive on CNN today about the dirty sheets and all the waste that hasn't been removed from the Ebola patient's house in Dallas.
In the apartment, the sheets that he sweated on are still on the bed, the pillows are still on the bed.
The towels he used, she has put into a plastic bag or plastic bags.
They are still in the apartment.
She's not clear what to do with them.
The CDC has visited her apartment, she tells me, uh, have told her not to go outside, that she's quarantined, she has to stay inside for 21 days.
She's taking her own temperature every hour, she says she's taking the temperature of the young people who are in the apartment with her.
Uh, but she's clearly very concerned.
Now, this is the this is the woman identified as Louise that Thomas Eric Duncan, the first Ebola patient in the U.S. was staying with, staying with her while visiting their 13-year-old son in Dallas.
So it it gets a little bit more complicated.
Guy Duncan, Thomas Eric Duncan was visiting her while visiting their 13-year-old son in Dallas.
And she's the one that told Anderson Cooper, my God, I got all this stuff piling up in here, and I don't know what to do about it.
Here's uh here's Peter in Roswell, Georgia.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
It's an honor and a pleasure talking to you for many years of listening to my hero.
Listen, I think there's way too much uh attention paid to the uh ineffective uh hospital uh our system and little on his uh accountability, which I think he has a lot more accountability.
I'm talking about Duncan, uh Eric Thomas, Thomas Derek Duncan.
Uh and I'm saying this because I'm examining the timeline.
And even though the conventional wisdom is that upon being infected, he took off, took uh uh got on the plane and got to the United States, logically, as you were saying, and he won would do that.
However, if we go back, that would the day she took the plane was the 18th.
The day he got infected was the sixth the 15th with that pregnant woman.
But the before that, on September 4th, he gave up his job unexpectedly, without explanations on September 4th, he was working, he was he was working the week.
So you're let me cut to the your point is that he knew that he had Ebola and and some of this is on him.
He knew he knew that he uh was sick and and he made no effort not to mingle with people.
Is that your point?
He had family in the United States, kind of preparing things.
Well, he quit unexpectedly on the fourth.
On the 15th, he got infected.
On the tw on the 18th, he got on the plane.
On the 20th, he's in the United States, and he is in touch or in contact with children.
Uh not nobody explains what kind of concept, but the in contact someone who knows full well that he's infected.
He is in touch with children on the 24th, he checks on the ER.
On the 30th, he's fully blown uh Ebola.
Right.
Okay, so uh you are of the belief that he is culpable, that he bears some of the responsibility of this, because he knew he got on the plane suffering from Ebola.
It's like it's a good point.
It's a fair point, folks.
President Obama this afternoon, he's out in uh Chicago, Northwestern, and he's telling people the economy's fine.
You just don't know it.
It's okay, you're just not aware of it.
He's gonna try to tell you that whatever you think about the economy, it's hummin.
But he also found it necessary to address ISIS and something else.
And I want you to hear it's a quick 20-second bite.
It's America.
Our troops, our diplomats that lead the fight to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIS.
It's America.
Our doctors, our scientists, our know-how that leads the fight to contain and combat the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
The what epidemic?
Eboli.
The Eboli epidemic in in in West Africa.
Do you imagine Sarah Palin had said that?
Do you imagine Sarah Palin?
Yeah, we need to fight Eboli in West Africa, you betcha.
Can you imagine what they would do?
But we are in America.
We got the best.
Well, you think they're the best, but they're not, but that's okay.
We are leading with our diplomats.
We lead the world in words and speeches and intentions, and we're gonna wipe out Eboli.
Here's uh here's Becky, Silicon Valley, California.
Great to have you on the program, Becky.
Hello.
Hi, thank you for taking my call.
I appreciate it.
You met.
How are you?
Um I I'm doing fine.
I you kind of caught my attention because you had mentioned that earlier that David Angus had been on CNN talking about the diseases and then being linked to global warming.
Right, yeah.
And it caught my attention because I used to work, I work in Silicon Valley, and I used to work for a company that he had co-founded.
And so I've met him personally, and one of the venture capitalists from um KPCB had was back in the company, and Al Gore is associated with KPCB, and he knew Al Gore very well.
And I remember he made a comment once that he was concerned about Al Gore's weight and had encouraged him to lose weight.
So they were on really good terms.
So it doesn't didn't surprise me that he would say anything associated that it was associated with global warming.
But I was surprised they had him on.
So I just wanted to to let you know that.
So you're okay.
You mean you're not surprised that he well let me repeat the premise of the story, just to make sure you heard it.
What this really is all about here is that this these professors at the University of California, San Diego C environmentalists need to stop pitching or trying to persuade people of global warming by focusing on the temperature of the earth, because it isn't rising.
Temperatures aren't going up.
They need to find some other way to persuade people.
And he's mentioned in this story, and and I to me it's a tandem out admission that they're wrong.
But what they're saying is, no, we're not wrong.
We just have to find a different way to fool people.
Because our primary premise that CO2 is going to cause the temperatures to rise, Greenhouse is...
It isn't happening.
So we got to find an alternative way of persuading.
Why can't they just admit that they were wrong about it?
So I I thought he was also quoted as saying that these diseases who are associated with it, that he said we were in like a flat environment now, and it's not surprising that we have Ebola and the other.
Oh, well, that too.
That yeah, okay.
That story, yes, about global warming being responsible for Ebola.
Yeah, so you're not surprised he would say something.
He's a doctor and highly well-known.
I mean, he was even mentioned in Steve Jobs'autobiography by Walter Isaacson as being somebody that Steve Jobs went to.
So David Angus is kind of known, at least out here.
And it just didn't surprise me.
I don't think people understand the connection and how small it is around here that he's connected to Al Gore and in a big way.
And so for him to associate these diseases and telling us it's global warming and and being on that bandwagon, I don't think people realize the close associations that are out here.
And and so that in itself didn't surprise me that he's on that bandwagon.
Okay.
Well, what what would you want people to realize about it and because the associations are so narrow and close.
What would you want people to realize about they're not they have no credibility?
Well, I it's all about money.
I I'm firm believer about the city.
Oh, absolutely, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, then it's tied and and uh you know, so of course he's gonna promote his friends agenda.
Why not?
If you don't out here, you are are and uh and I'm probably one of the only conservatives I know, myself and my husband, but I'm originally not from here anyway.
So but it it is a big deal.
And and you can't mention if they're conservative.
It is all about the you know, the big blue agenda and and global warming, and of course everybody buys into it.
Or they they tote the the rope for everyone who's making the money because they want a part of it.
That's exactly that's exactly that well, you've got great courage in even admitting this.
Because that's exactly what this is.
Al Gore is on, and all of these people that are supporting him are it's all about a quest for money.
Every bit of it is.
They make no effort to alter their lifestyle to save the planet, do they?
No.
And he certainly hasn't.
Nope.
And I don't think people realize, too, the amount of government money that goes into these brain energy companies out here.
I've interviewed with them and and when I was uh in between jobs interviewing and the amount of money that they're getting from even the state of California and the government.
I think you're totally right about well, it's a it's a in a way, I hate to say it, it's a testament to how successful their their PR messaging has been.
They actually have made people think that they are trying to save the polar bear, that they're actually trying to save the planet.
And what they've done is very seductively and successfully.
They've they've convinced people that their lives can have meaning by joining the quest to save the planet, and they get on this mission, and they if even then if they hear that some of these leaders are making big money off, that's fine because we're helping to save the planet and leaders should be rewarded and all kinds of things.
But uh I think I'm I'm probably remiss for not mentioning this enough, but the follow the money theory works perfectly in explaining why certain people are just hellbent on persuading and convincing everybody to live and behave as though there's global warming because they're making gazillions of dollars off of it.
And clearly Al Gore is uh is one.
I appreciate the call, Becky.
Thanks much.
I've got to take another quick time out, my friends, as time races on.
I have here the story, my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
Oops, that uh Becky was uh talking about Dr. David Aegis.
He's the CBS medical contributor, medical expert.
It is he who was saying that global warming is responsible for Ebola, the spread of Ebola and the iterovirus that's causing paralysis among kids uh in uh in this country.
He claims to have been Steve Jobs' doctor.
He's a good friend to Al Gore, and they they scratch each other's backs.
And and Becky's point was they're not even really true believers, they're just chasing money.
And so whenever an opportunity comes up, such as blame it on global warming.
And they know, Al Gore and these guys know that the media is gonna promote it, not gonna question them, not gonna doubt them.
Uh, and and they'll be able to further cement this idea that all of these horrors, travesties, disasters could be averted if we would just get serious about about global warming.
But the point is that uh she knows him, has worked with him, knows of him, and and uh that it's all about money for these people.
And about that, she is exactly right.
Here's David in uh in Tumwater, Washington.
Great to have you.
I thank you for waiting, and welcome to the program.
Hello.
Howdy, Rush, great honor, I must say.
I appreciate that, sir.
Thank you very much.
I can't tell you how how much a heart jumps when the phone rings.
But uh anyway, my point is my fellow Washingtonian from Samamish was proving your point on your on your commentary, the point you were trying to make about politically being correct.
This is the guy who called.
He thought he was going to entrap me into sounding like an insensitive, mean-spirit, extremist racist, Texas bigot homophobe, right?
That's right.
He was doing everything he could to get you to say, did you really say we weren't gonna send any medicine to Africa and we were gonna hog it all?
Where do you send the fire trucks?
You know, it was just it was just an entrapment call, and he totally proved your point without even knowing it.
Well, I am very much attuned and highly sensitive to these entrapment calls and uh and what they're purpose, because they're sitting out there, they've got a direct line to media matters, and they're just waiting and to get these entrapment calls.
But I can spot them a mile away, just as I spotted it from that guy.
And by the way, he had every opportunity to refute anything I was saying, and he didn't say a word.
Yeah, it's didn't say a word, which he was just waiting, he was hoping that I would say something that he could then turn into uh whatever the left's racism, sexism, insensitivity, whatever it was.
But he he was he took everything I was saying purposely and totally out of context as well.
Well, he was trying to he was trying to get a talking point across that that uh that you're a meanie and you don't want to help the people in Africa.
And uh, I was screaming at the radio that you know, you're proving Russia's point right again.
Yeah, but proving the point by virtue of he was thinking, well, yeah, we ought to send it over there if we get it.
Exactly right, that's what we ought to do, which is my point to begin with.
Is that your is that your observation that would be?
Yeah, that was the point of your whole monologue with it.
That's the way they would react.
Exactly right.
So here comes a guy calling and proudly confirming it while thinking he's entrapping me.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, David, I appreciate the call.
I really do.
Rush.
You're the only guy on the radio, I never get tired of hearing.
Is that right?
You don't know how much that means.
No, no, no.
That you don't know how much that means to me.
That, if I could be honest for waiting, I don't know.
I'm always honest.
If I could reveal something that is Not often revealed.
That happens to be one of the major objectives of everybody in media is how do you avoid becoming a tune out?
How do you avoid people grabbing that index finger and punching the button or turning the dial or whatever, scrolling to the next position on the device to find something else?
And particularly when you've been around like 26 years, uh a lot of people, that could be old hat and so forth.
So I really appreciate that.
That is a really great compliment, and I cannot thank you enough for it.
I really, really do appreciate that.
It's the Rush Limbaugh program.
We will never be old hat here.
We're always going to be new hat.
I'll tell you what I think we need to do.
And following the president's lead, we need to begin immediately in wiping out Eboli in all 57 states.
