Time Text
And we're back at it, my friends Rush Limbaugh and a gang here at the EIB Network and the Limboy Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Our telephone number, if you want to be on the program, is 800 282-2882, the email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
I just want to play one soundbite and have it represent all of them.
The uh people over at the five on Fox yesterday afternoon did a uh a small tribute to Kit Carson.
So many people have uh on their websites, on their blogs, uh, emails.
I've got great note from Carl Rowe from Pete Wayner.
Um, and Kit dealt with both of them when President Bush needed anything.
Uh it was either Carl or Pete Wayner who called, and it was Kit.
Kit Carson had probably one of the most impressive Rolodexes, if he could find it.
His office, I was it was uh somebody should have taken a picture of that because it was unlike but he had one of the biggest role he could have if he wanted to, he could have parlayed at Rolodex.
He could have become one of the biggest agents in uh in all of media with the people that he knew.
But he he loved what he was doing.
So anyway, to all of the people, I can't I can't tell you the number of people who have sent these really, really wonderful condolences and remembrances.
But here's how Eric Bowling and uh Dana Perino, Kimberly Gilfoyle at Fox on the five yesterday.
Twenty-seven years ago, Christopher Carson liked to be called Kit, walked into Rush Limbaugh studios, met Rush, stayed with Rush for the whole time.
Here's Rush from today.
It's such a void because he loved this job.
He loved being here.
He loved being part of it every day.
He would try to get his cancer treatments moved to different times of the day so they wouldn't have to miss.
All the while we're telling him, hey, put yourself first here.
He said, I am.
I love this.
And he loved everybody here.
And everybody loved him.
Kit Carson passed away.
He leaves behind wife Teresa and two teenage boys, Jesse and Jack.
We'll pray for the whole family.
He was a great guy.
God bless him.
So is the importance making every day count.
So prayers for his family.
And so thanks to Eric Bowling and uh Dana Perino and Kimberly Gilfoyle and all the people uh that we've heard from at Fox and uh everywhere else.
Okay, National Weather Service official says that the National Weather Service is going to evaluate itself.
Uh and they're going to evaluate its storm modeling after a storm that was predicted in up a foot.
Let's wait a minute now, it wasn't a foot, it was two to three feet.
On New York City, it was gonna paralyze the nation's number one city.
And on the strength of a forecast, do you realize the New York subway system was shut down for the first time ever because of snow?
The New York subway was shut down on a weather forecast.
Two to three feet of snow.
It was gonna be deadly.
You shouldn't venture out.
You shouldn't do anything.
Don't go anywhere.
Don't open the door.
You could die.
It's a ravaging storm.
You know, if you really want to put this in perspective, read about the Donner Party.
Donner Party trying to cross Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, Northern California out now.
We're we're we're uh Reno and Lake Tahoe are.
And they had to resort to cannibalism to survive it got so bad.
And you read, you read the uh they found a diary of of a member of the family.
The only reference to the weather was it's an unusually cold winter.
That was it.
Here we paralyze ourselves on the s on on the strength of a forecast.
A forecast.
And everybody knows by virtue of experience, the forecasts, even 10, well, 24 hours out.
Even they are oftentimes wrong in in several ways.
But it doesn't stop people from believing a 50-year forecast based on computer models for climate change and global warming.
Because people are seduced by crisis.
And if you if you tell people there's a crisis that they've caused, you tell the sheep in your society that they are responsible for global warming because they're backyard barbecues or because the cars they've driven, uh, they're responsible because of all the waste that they have engaged in, then you offer them absolution.
Say, you know what, you can save the planet if you do this.
Pay higher taxes, vote Democrat, believe everything we tell you, buy some junker little car that you otherwise wouldn't buy, and they sucker people in.
Most people's lives, people want to have meaning.
They want their lives to matter, and the left comes along and offers you not only can matter, you can save the planet, and they turn them into evangelists.
And they're evangelizing a hoax.
And meanwhile, the people that are predicting all this disaster can't even get a 24-hour snowfall right.
And now they're apologizing.
And uh they gotta they gotta figure out what happened here.
They're computer models.
Yep, computer models may be to blame for this hysterical snow forecast.
Well, what's a computer model, but garbage in, garbage out?
I mean, computer model's only as good as the data you input.
But see, as long as a highly centralized government promises to protect us from all of this snow.
And if this government at the same time is promising to protect us from all those conservatives in the Tea Party and Benjamin Netanyahu, well, it makes perfect sense to turn over your freedom and liberty if it'll protect you from the snow.
Because their intentions, oh, they're only trying to save us, Mr. Limboy, they're only trying to at least they tried to get it right.
They might have really blown it, but at least they tried to try to save us.
I can I've heard this I don't know how often.
It's so frustrating, a teachable moment.
People so willing to be sheep.
It really shows us what people will tolerate.
And so now the National Weather Service is going to evaluate how it could possibly possibly have blown this and it's their computer model.
CBS Connecticut.
Storm fails to live up to predictions in some areas, as National Weather Service wild guess apologizes.
A storm-packing blizzard condition spun up to East Coast early on Tuesday, but it failed to live up to the hype in big cities like Philadelphia and New York, which canceled its travel ban amid better than expected weather conditions.
Yeah, too bad that 7,000 700 airline flights were canceled for no reason.
And you know what that means?
Let me tell what that means in a real world.
When 7,700 airline flights are canceled, it doesn't just mean that people don't arrive.
It means the airplane doesn't arrive.
Which means if you are scheduled to leave New York today, there's not going to be an airplane there for you.
Because they cancel the flights.
So if you live in New York, the next couple days, you are going to look to the sky and you're going to see the airlines flying in, airplane after airplane after airplane to get ready for departures.
They got to make up for those 7,700 cancellations somehow.
And many of those planes are going to fly in deadhead, meaning no passenger.
You know what that means for your fares?
That means your fares are going to go up.
The airlines have to recoup this money they lost because of a bad weather forecast.
Cancel 7,700 flights.
And here's the Mayor de Basio.
De Blas said, Well, you know, better safe than sorry.
De Blasio's out there still ripping mean evil businesses.
Calling employers cheapskates.
The venom these people on the left have for the things, the institutions that really and the people that really make this country work.
You realize how much would not work if these people had total control over it?
Cancel 7,700 flights.
And turns out for no reason did all the schools that were closed.
The hotels that canceled room service and other in inside services because they didn't think their staff is going to be able to get to work.
All of it.
And by the way, this is not just New York City, this is all of New Jersey down to Philadelphia.
It's a huge swath.
And me when you can see it happening.
I myself became a curious rubbernecker.
I haven't had cable news on in I don't know how long, honestly.
But I turned it on last night, I turned it on at seven o'clock, because I knew Greta Van Sustran would they'd have their reporters out there.
And sure enough, there they all were.
And they were standing right where the forecast was to have been the worst.
And there's barely any snowfalling.
And yet the reporters, they have to go with what the forecast is.
There's barely any snow falling, or maybe light flexes, hardly any accumulation, and they're sitting there in the middle of that way.
Everybody can see, talking about the impending disaster.
That is not going to happen.
But they can't go on on their own and start saying it looks like the weather forecast is wrong.
It looks like the weather service blew it.
They really gotta stay with the script.
But it just it it just looked embarrassing to me.
Gary Sikkowski, the meteorologist in charge of National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey, apologized on Twitter for the snow totals being cut back.
So my deepest apologies to many key decision makers and so many members of the general public.
You made a lot of tough decisions expecting us to get it right, and we didn't.
Once again, I'm sorry.
Well, there's a bright side to this.
All the people who went out and stocked up on the usual canned goods and bottled water and non-perishables, you know, that's this another thing they tell you the big snowstorm.
You better get out there and you better stock up canned goods, make sure you got diapers, fill up your prescriptions, whatever you gotta do out and do it all.
The people that did all of that will now be able to protect themselves from armed intruders because they're gonna have all those cans.
Oh, you missed that?
Oh, you missed it.
Well, a couple of weeks ago, we had a story here, folks, where a school board, the school board president and one of the faculty members, two women actually were instructing, sent a letter home to the parents telling them to let their kids bring canned food to school in case a shooter with a gun showed up.
They were going to teach the kids how to throw cans of food at a potential armed intruder.
So those of you that went out and stocked up on the canned goods on the advice of Mayor de Blasio, you are prepared for intruders showing up and being able to frighten them back out of your out of your home.
I don't know, folks.
It's just I I I know.
I know some of you, when I when I you think I chalk everything up to liberalism, and you think I need to give it a rest.
I'm telling you, that's why this happens.
I I say all the time, don't doubt me.
I know these people.
It's all, it's all intertwined.
Crisis.
Remember Ron Emanuel, a crisis is too important to waste.
But I'm not the weather guy, he's not an activist liberal.
He may be.
He may be a global warming activist for all I know.
I mean, they're everywhere now.
And they are exclusionary.
They don't want people to be able to join the American Meteorological Society and be TV weather people if they don't believe in man-made global warming.
They could be activists in disguise.
But but there's a you know, computer model is only as good as the data that's put into it.
And I'm telling you, they thrive off crisis, they thrive off of being the wolves and telling everybody what to do.
They can't wait to control everything everybody does and thinks.
It's these people are constantly telling you the latest health threat posed by lipstick or caffeine, or you name it.
And it's all rooted in a belief they have that you don't know what's good for you.
You don't know how to spend your own money, you don't know how to save your money, you don't know how to get from point A to point B safely, you don't know the right car to buy, you don't know how to save the planet.
You have to be told everything.
And a crisis gives them the best opportunity to take control and tell you because they scare the hell out of you, and they tell you what's about to happen has never happened.
It's historic.
And it hadn't happened.
Nothing has happened.
But they tell you it's gonna be so bad they scare the living daylights out of you.
You end up depending on them, and you wait for them to give updates, and you wait for them to give it all clear, and you don't end up trusting yourself on anything.
When in more cases than not you know better than these people who don't even know you, who are obviously invading about groupthink, group advice, and uh and and group control.
A couple of audio sound bites, Wolf Blitzer.
They all fall in line, by the way.
The media people they all fall right in line with this.
Wolf Blitzer last night uh in the situation room reporting about the snowstorm in the northeast.
Happening now, breaking news, life-threatening storm, tens of millions of people bracing for a blizzard of epic scale, an historic storm striking uh major cities, facing up to three feet of snow.
Okay, now the question, how much of everything else they report is also not happening.
Wolf Blitzer just joined the chorus.
Happening now.
Breaking news, a life-threatening storm!
Oh my god, oh my god, tens of millions of people bracing for a blizzard of epic scale, and a historic storm striking, and you're watching him, and the screen shows you the background, and there's no snow falling, or it's a trickle.
It's just flurries.
So the thing to add, so what else has Wolf been wrong about?
What else is CNN terribly wrong about whenever they get something else ginned up to a crisis?
That's the question everybody needs to ask.
What else are they getting wrong?
What else are they hyping that isn't really happening?
Al Joker on the Today Show this morning, Matt Wower said, did this thing um did this thing jog a little bit to the east out there, Al.
We didn't see the development we were hoping for earlier, or at least we thought would get.
But what is interesting, uh, the National Weather Service has upgraded their computers and some of the software.
And unlike in previous years, the American models actually performed a little bit better than the European model.
Uh, and the the American models actually saw less snow for the New York area.
Why didn't you just go outside and take a look?
At some point, why don't you just do that?
Some point you know your forecast is screwed up.
But you hear European models.
There are hurricane, there's European models, UK Met, one model.
That's the Met Office Meteorological Office.
There are a bunch of them.
I didn't know that European models were used for domestic snowstorms.
I thought they were only used for hurricanes, but you live and learn.
But you hear Alan saying, yeah, we didn't see the development.
We were hoping for.
That's a faux paw because that's exactly they were hoping for.
They were so excited, they couldn't wait this disaster.
You realize chance for government to shine, a chance for us caring souls in the media to show you how much we love you and care about you.
All of this other happy horse.
Time to get some photo calls in here, folks.
We'll start in uh Steven of Westchester County in New York.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hi.
Hi, Mahavrashi.
Thanks for taking the call.
Um it was incredible yesterday when I heard the the uh speech by Mayor DeBalazio and even uh the governor of New York State after that in regards to the uh the level of nanny state stuff going on.
I I was almost waiting for them to uh warn us to not open a can of soup because we might cut our finger.
It's it's it's just relentless.
Uh you know what, and it gets worse.
It gets worse, gets more ridiculous with each new incident.
They the things they tell you to look out for, how to do, uh, make sure you don't do this.
Uh it just becomes it's it become comical now.
Yeah, it it literally is.
I mean, you know, watch out on train platforms, watch how it's you know, stepping out of a car.
Um, you know, well, when did it get to this point?
I uh you know, when we actually need to have mayors and governors on the TV and radio instead of uh uh an astrologist telling us uh, you know, to watch out for the weather.
It's it's ridiculous.
Well, that's what happened.
So look at the weather weather service issues the forecast, and then the politicians go on TV to emphasize it, analyze it for us, because we're too stupid to even understand that.
Okay, the weather service puts us a forecast, and we got maybe we got historic possible snowfall, maybe two to three feet of snow, and they have their usual accompaniments.
Stay inside, don't drive.
And they tell you when it's going to start, when it's going to intensify, and what the winds are going to be, and then the mayor gets in gear.
And then the governor gets in gear.
And then the public safety people get in gear.
And they start going on TV at radio and telling everybody what it all means.
And they tell everybody how they can avoid it.
How you can pretend the snowstorm is not going to affect you.
Don't drive.
Don't leave your house.
Don't uh, you know, shovel the snow off your roof or where you want to get a heart attack.
Any number of silly things.
Then they start canceling airline flights.
Then they start canceling public transportation.
Not a flake of snow has fallen.
And it's all predicated.
This is the thing, for it's all predicated on the assumption that you're helpless.
It's all predicated on the belief that you, all of us, are simply unable to deal with this oncoming disaster.
And that if they don't get involved and tell us how to do this and what not to do, what to do that we could die.
So they're literally saving our lives.
And they elevate themselves, put themselves in the story, make them the most important focal point of the story.
And the thing is they relish it.
They love it.
That's the thing.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair, Rush Limbaugh.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Look at this.
From yesterday's New York observer, de Blasio orders indefinite street shutdown during Blizzard tonight.
So this thing ran last night.
Mayor Bill DeBlasio announced this afternoon that he is shutting the city's streets, the schools, and the parks tonight until further notice as the city braces for a blizzard of historic proportions.
And it snowed five inches.
Five historic inches.
You could say the storm was historic and how big it was blown.
Speaking at the Office of Emergency Management Headquarters in Brooklyn, the mayor, who faced criticism over the city's response to the last year's snowstorms, said only authorized city personnel would be allowed to drive on the streets starting at 11 p.m. or visit city parks beginning at 6 p.m.
Now, what the hell is that about?
Why would some city employee have to go to a city park at 6 p.m.?
Why only them?
What do they get to do in there that we don't?
The restrictions may last for an undetermined number of days, the mayor said.
Mr. DeBozio declared a winter weather state of emergency.
Remember that song by Engelbert Humpertink?
We're in a winter weather state of emergency.
And that was winter world of love.
That's back when snowstorms actually could be in fun, exciting, romantic, get the sleds out of what now it's death.
Now a snowstorm means we're gonna die.
We're gonna freeze.
We're gonna be uncomfortable.
It's gonna be really bad.
Mayor said that thousands of sanitation, police, fire parks, homeless services, 911 311 personnel have been working since Friday to prepare for the historic projected two feet of snow.
And again, it snowed five inches.
But let's be in a bit.
The weather forecasters today, let's face it, are much better at forecasting the weather 50 years from now than they are 24 hours to know.
And did you see this?
Bridgeport, Connecticut Mayor, Bill Finch.
I have been to Bridgeport.
I mean, where I go in Connecticut, you have to land there.
Bridgeport, Connecticut Mayor Bill Finch thanked MSNBC anchor Al Sharpton for fighting the good fight on climate change during a report on Winter Storm Juneau on Monday's Politics Nation.
The mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut, thanked Al Sharpton for his climate change work during a report on the historic blizzard on MSNBC last night.
Here's uh here's Shane in Buffalo.
Hey, Shane, glad you called.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hey, thanks, Rush.
Uh, first of all, just real quick, my condolences to you and your staff, and uh my prayers for uh your friend.
Very, very sorry for your thank you very much, sir.
Um, you know, I I wanted to start out by I'm from Buffalo, New York, and uh wanted to start out by saying, you know, someone from Buffalo, we got six feet of snow in one day in November, and uh had a lot of fun with it, you know.
You can have a lot of fun with snow, and I don't really I thought it was pretty funny, I guess, that they were freaking out about a couple of feet.
Um, but anyways, um it's more than just the fact that you got Cuomo saying, hey, stay inside your house.
He's actually threatening with force um a misdemeanor for violating the travel ban.
And I'm just sitting here thinking, is this America or the Soviet Union?
I mean, who are you to tell me I can't leave my house?
And not even over a storm, but the threat of a storm.
Right.
He shut down they shut down the city of New York.
Yeah, you know, I've had a lot of people.
Right.
I've had some people email me, say, Rush, what this is, we're just getting a dry run, a forerunner of martial law.
And, you know, I that's that's uh start throwing around terms like martial law, and you could end up uh well harming your your cause of persuasion.
I mean, I and folks, I'm gonna tell you, I some people may wonder, I don't know, you may not, but you may wonder why am I spending this much time on this?
Because it's a teachable moment.
I'm I am I am devoted, I am committed to people understanding liberalism so they can oppose it.
I'm I'm devoted to that.
And this is a teachable moment.
This is a great illustration in one 24-hour period who they are, what they are, how they get it wrong, what they try to do, how they try to use crisis to manage control and so forth, and how they're wrong.
I mean, it's all combined.
Everything about liberalism that's wrong with it is on display here.
And to me, it's a teachable moment.
Now you mentioned Buffalo.
Last November, Buffalo had a lake effect snow, six feet of snow.
Now to show you the difference, that happened early in the week, and they were actually trying to figure out how they could play a football game at Richmond Ralph Wilson Stadium the following Sunday.
The team, the Buffalo Bulls, eventually had to leave.
And they went to, I think they played the game in Detroit, and it was against Cleveland.
I don't know who they forget who it was.
Um, but they tried as hard as they could.
They went out and they they hired people to shovel snow out of Ralph Wilson Stadium.
They were doing anything they could to get the streets cleared and to get things ready for the football game on Sunday.
They were unable to do it because six feet of snow is six feet of snow.
It would have been cool if they could have.
Man, would that not have been a fun game to watch?
You know, I used to want it to snow on, you know, one of the most disappointing things about the past football season.
There wasn't one snow game.
Not one.
That's reason enough to be depressed about the football season.
I love watching snow games, and there wasn't one.
But hey, remember there was two or three years ago in Philadelphia, they canceled a Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night game because of a forecast of snow.
The mayor, yes, you're we're really worried about the fans and the highways getting to the stadium and getting home.
It's never been done before.
They played a football game in Denver in a blizzard back in the mid-80s.
They literally, Denver Broncos, and I think it was the Chargers.
They play the game, and it was one of the most fun things.
The players even said so.
They played a game in a blizzard in Denver.
This is to show you how much things have Changed here.
So they cancel a game, postpone it till the next day in Philadelphia.
But in Buffalo, they really tried to get that game in, even with six feet of snow.
It's a major difference.
Do you remember this story?
New York Times February 7th of last year, almost one year ago.
It was an op-ed column by somebody named Porter Fox.
And it's entitled The End of Snow.
Over the next two weeks, hundreds of millions of people will watch Americans like Ted Liggetty and Michaela Schiffrin ski for gold on the downhill alpine course.
TV crews will pan across epic vistas of the rugged Caucasus or Caucasus Mountains draped with brilliant white ski.
It goes on to talk about global warming.
Enjoy these Olympics while you can, because global warming signals the end of snow.
One year ago, New York Times.
Well, let's put this in context.
If you read the New York Times, and if you're one of the sheep that reads the New York Times, you believe it like it's the Bible.
You believe it like it's the gospel.
So you read this op-ed.
This was in the Sunday New York Times op-ed page on February 7, 2014.
So you read it, and it says, enjoy these Olympics and enjoy whatever other things you do with snow, because it's not going to be long before they're hidden anymore.
Global warming, the end of snow.
Guys, dead serious.
Okay?
You read this.
New York Times sheep, you read, and you believe it.
You believe everything you read in the New York Times.
The end of snow.
May make you happy, may make you sad, but you believe it.
New York Times says so it's the end of snow and op-ed columnists.
They don't lie in the op-ed columnist page.
That's where the real thinkers are.
The op-ed page, well, that's where the real brilliant people are.
People like Thomas Loopy Friedman and Paul Krugman.
That's where the real geniuses of America are.
Maureen down.
New York Times op-ed page, the end of snow.
So you read the New York Times and you believe it.
But something happens, something goes wrong.
Here comes a forecast.
Less than a year later of historic proportions in New York, two to three feet of snow.
The mayor and the governor go out there and warn you this could be the one that kills you.
This could be the one that wipes out half the city.
This could be so devastating, so disastrous.
Don't go on the streets, we're closing everything at nine, we're canceling the flights, we're closing the subway.
Well, you just read less than a year ago the end of snow.
Now all of a sudden snow's back.
You're confused, but you trust all these people.
You trust the mayor is a good lib, it's a good Democrat.
You trust the governor, same said you trust the New York Times, but you're conflicted.
You're confused.
You thought there wasn't going to be.
You really do, folks.
They believe this stuff.
Read the New York Times as the end of snow.
They believe it.
Now they're totally conflicted.
And here comes this massive forecast of a massive blizzard.
And how do they reconcile it?
These sheep, these readers of the New York Times, how do they reconcile this?
Well, their leaders never lie to them.
So it must be really global warming must be really worse than we thought.
That's how this gets resolved.
Last February, a column, The End of Snow, Enjoy the Olympics while you can.
Global warming, the heat, the warming, everything, atmospheric change because of man.
Seeing to it there's not going to be any snow.
And then here comes a massive snow.
Then what you end up believing is, and you have all these experts out there saying it's global warming because you end up believing global warming even more than you did.
That's how convoluted, cockamami, cockeyed these people are.
And they end up getting elected.
You know, there was a time at Blasio, DeBloud would not even have a chance being elected mayor in New York, and it wasn't that long ago.
They'd been a laughing stock if he decided to run.
Now he gets runs and wins.
These people are getting increasingly insane out there, folks.
Go back and hit the uh audio sound bites up in there, folks.
Last night at the Department of Sanitation, Manhattan 2 Garage, here is the mayor, Bill de Blasio, holding a press conference to talk about the city's response to the blizzard.
Remember, there's no blizzard going on.
At this time, to anybody watching, it's apparent that New York is not gonna get what they said it was gonna get.
You can just see it out there watching, but there's the mayor.
And he's doing his press conference in there.
And a reporter said, it's unfortunate that some employers are gonna say, if you don't come to work tomorrow, you're fired.
What would you say to those employers?
So here's another thing.
It hasn't happened.
A, we've got a forecast that's dead.
We got a we got a historic blizzard before a flake of snow has been seen.
And now we have a reporter at a press conference the mayor's conducting in the middle of hardly a blizzard.
And the reporter says, you know, and I know there are gonna be some people that can't get to work tomorrow, and their bosses aren't gonna shut the office.
And then they're gonna say, You're fired because you didn't show up.
Never mind, it hasn't happened.
No such thing has happened yet.
Nope, no employees have been fired for not showing up at work because no historic blizzard has happened.
Doesn't matter.
De Blasio answered the question as though it was reality.
I would say to employers that this is a uh act of nature, and they should be respectful of that, and they should give some leeway to their workers.
But I would say to anybody, uh any employee, safety first.
Your life matters the most, and your health and your safety matters.
So the smart thing is to stay back.
Uh any employer who's treating their employees the wrong way will certainly have something to say about that.
This is not a time for employers to be cheapskates.
Yeah, I guess there is a time for employers to be cheapskates, but this isn't one of them.
Be a cheap skate some other time, but not now, not in the middle of blizzard.
How many businesses were shut down anyway because of this forecast?
But you see, this is how this all works.
There is no snowstorm.
There is no blizzard.
The mayor's in the middle of a press conference while it isn't happening, and a reporter says, What do you say to businessmen are gonna fire employees tomorrow for not showing up to work?
Right out in front of you, folks.
This is who these people and what is this?
This tells you what they think.
This is their prejudice and bigotry toward business owners.
Yeah, a bunch of rotten cheapskates.
We know they're gonna fire some people, and the people are not gonna get to work because they're gonna believe me and think their life is threatened, and they're gonna take my advice, they're gonna stay home, they're not gonna venture up.
They want to live, and their employer's gonna fire them.
Because they're cheapskate.
This is how they think.
This morning, de Blasio went over to CNN Chris Cuomo interviewing him.
Cuomo said, Look at all the criticism that you get as a mayor of a big city like this.
Uh people today are gonna be saying, you know, you scared me for nothing, Mr. Mayor.
I could have gone to work.
I could have done all these things.
What's your message to those people, Mr. Mayor?
Better safe than sorry.
We had a consensus from the meteorologists across the board at this time.
The tape.
I'm sorry to yell, folks.
I get exuberant, I get passionate.
You Joe, we got a consensus.
We had a consensus from the meteorologist across the board.
We had a consensus.
Well, we had a we had a majority of them telling us it was gonna be historically disastrous.
Just like the consensus of scientists telling us about global warming.
Well, folks, if there's a consensus, you can rest assured there is no science involved.
Science is not up to a vote.
Scientific interpretation, not up to a vote.
Science is or isn't.
Fact or no fact.
It's not up to anybody's opinion, no matter how much federal grant money they've received or not.
Oh, we had a consensus of meteorologists across the board.
This isn't gonna be easily two feet.
He's the rest of the bite.
Easily two feet.
That's what you're hearing until late into yesterday.
It was still being projected to be close to two feet.
This is a better safe than sorry scenario.
We said stay off the roads, they stayed off the roads, and that allowed us to get ahead of this situation.
So I think the response of the people in New York City was fantastic.
There was no situation.
And the plows were out.
The plows were plowing concrete.
The plows were plowing asphalt.
And then, in our final soundbite, is this?
You gotta be kidding me.
Are you kidding me?
Oh my god, I didn't know this.
I'm almost embarrassed at this.
Alison Camarada did this.
And uh.
Okay, well, here's here's the bite.
Chris Cuomo interviewing De Blasio, co-host Allison Camarada arrived, and uh, this is what happened.
Allison's joining us right now.
Excellent.
And so welcome.
I really kissed him.
She kissed the mayor.
The info babe kissed Alison Camarata.
She kissed the mayor.
A journalist.
She came on to the mayor.
The guy who blew it big time.
He cared, though.
Oh, he was looking out for us.
Such a big heart.
Really loved us.
Great intentions.
Really only wanted the best boys.
Alison, I can't.
Well, let me take a break here, folks.
This is this has shattered me.
I've got to put myself back together here.
Okay, folks, we have one big, exciting, busy broadcast hour remaining, and we got your phone calls coming up, and there's other things in the news besides the storm, obviously.
We got the latest on deflate gate.
Told you they're gonna try to find a fall guy.
I told you they're gonna try to find a fall guy.
And they got a guy on video who took the footballs from the officials' locker room and stopped in a bathroom on the way to the field for 90 seconds.
Can you deflate 11 balls in 90 seconds?
