Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Yes, America's anchorman is away, and this is your undocumented anchor man sitting in direct from Ice Station EIB in far northern New Hampshire, just a stone's throw from the Quebec border.
If you're fleeing the country, do swing by and say hello.
You can't miss us.
There's a big sign on the highway, last Rush guest host before the border.
Little known fact, Marco Rubio's wife double-parked outside the studio here in 1987.
I read it on the front page of the New York Times.
Rush is away this week.
I don't know why.
Is he transitioning?
So at any rate, this is the week of the guest hosts.
And transitioning-wise, I used to be an all-American red-blooded talk show host, but then I transitioned into being a creepy foreign guest host with an annoying accent.
I'd love to change back, but it's irreversible, and Obamacare wouldn't cover it anyway.
But don't worry, we will have some genuine red, white, and blue American as apple pie guest hosts here later in the week, Eric Erickson, Buck Sexton.
And did I hear that right, Mr. Snerdley, that Roger Hedgecock has returned to the team?
He's coming in on Friday, is he?
I think that's, yeah, so I think that's Eric's here Wednesday, Buck Thursday, and the return of Roger Hedgecock.
It's kiddie corner to me.
I'm in the far northeast and he's in the far southwest.
That's the diversity we like to celebrate here on the Russian Emborg Show.
But Roger Hedgecock returns to the roster on Friday.
1-800-282-2882 is the number to call at the start of another busy, busy news week.
We may get a decision from the Supreme Court in the next few days on both same-sex marriage, whether the founding fathers had cannily provided for that in the Constitution, and the Affordable Care Act, whether the federal subsidies for about 8 million Americans will be deemed to be constitutional,
which will require even more contortions than these Supreme Court decisions usually involve.
But Al Hunt, he used to be on the Capitol gang.
He was the Wall Street Journal guy, and he's now at Bloomberg.
By the way, remind me to mention Bloomberg.
There's a movement to draft Bloomberg for the Democrat nomination, as Hillary implodes.
Bloomberg, writing in Bloomberg, Al Hunt says that the Obamacare decision could boomerang on Republicans, because this is how it works.
Not a single Republican has had anything to do with Obamacare.
And no Republican wrote it, no Republican passed it, no Republican rewrote it, no Republican president stood up in the White House and let you know every morning, according to his regal will, which clauses were valid on any given day, which were going to be kicked down the road a year, which were going to be suspended, amended, and all the rest of it.
No Republican anywhere had anything to do with this health care bill.
It's called Obamacare.
That's the first clue.
That's the first clue there.
It's not called Rubio Care.
It's not called Trent Lotter Care.
It's not called Strom Thurmond Care.
It's Obamacare.
But apparently, when the Supreme Court makes its decision, it will boomerang on Republicans because it will be all Republicans' fault if 8 million Americans are kicked off their federal subsidies.
So we'll keep an eye on that.
The G7 summit has just wrapped up in some delightfully scenic part of Germany.
It looked like the set for the sound of music where they're all standing there.
And Obama, apart from anything else, managed to diss the Iraqi prime minister, who's this short little fellow.
He looks like kind of Yosemite Sam.
He's a short little guy stomping around.
And he's trying to get, he's supposed to be having a one-on-one meeting with Obama, and they're all chit-chatting on this park bench.
And he's sidling up to the park bench, and Obama gives him the cold shoulder because he's putting the moves on Madame, what's her name, Madame Lagarde, the IMF chick.
And the guy gets annoyed and stands up and goes huffing and stomping his feet, just like Yosemite Sam, and looking at his watch.
And the aide throws up his hands in despair.
So I don't think Washington-Baghdad relations have been improved by the G7 summit.
But the big thing, their big thing they talk about, their big thing is on the agenda is climate change.
Climate change.
That's what the G7 world leaders were talking about.
And presumably that's why the Iraqi prime minister was there, because rising sea levels have just washed into Ramadi and swept all the Iraqi army's new American Humvees over to the ISIS guy.
So climate change is a very serious business.
There's a lot of it about.
The Iranians are having terrible troubles with the dwindling polar bear population because they use polar bear pelts to enrich uranium.
So there's an awful lot of problems here.
The rising temperatures have just erased the Russian-Ukraine border, enabling all these hundreds of Russian troops to just get washed across the border into this neighboring country.
So they were quite right to prioritize climate change, and they have now announced that this is from National Journal, which is some big thing in Washington, very respectable.
And some guy wrote this with a straight face.
World leaders at the G7 summit pledged on Monday to keep global warming below a rise in average global temperatures of two degrees Celsius, a benchmark that scientists say is critical to stave off the most devastating impacts of climate change.
World leaders pledge to keep global warming below a rise of two degrees.
So these guys, these seven guys, the President of the United States, President of France, the Chancellor of Germany, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Italy, these guys have apparently pledged to hold the planet's climate to below a two-degree change in temperature.
These are people, you know, So, if you say to somebody, well, why can't you enforce the southern border in the United States?
The federal government says, oh, no, no, no, we can't do that.
We can't do that.
That we can't do.
If you were to say to them, well, could you create a healthcare system that would not involve millions of people being kicked off their health plans and then going on to some new plan only to have a court rule that that plan is unconstitutional and, in any case, all the premiums have gone up and the deductibles have gone up.
So, could you just organize a straightforward health care?
No, no, no, that would be way beyond the capabilities of the federal government.
But holding, holding the global climate, changing the very heavens so that it doesn't so that just as the thermometer is creeping up an extra two degrees, Obama can pass a federal regulation, and President Hollande in Paris can pass a law, and whoever the Japanese guy is this week can pass a law, and mysteriously, then the heavens will agree to submit to these laws.
They won't be like fellas just coming across the Rio Grande in flat-bottom skiffs and walking into America.
It'd be ridiculous to expect government to be able to prevent something like that.
But changing the very heavens, that is something big government can do.
So, the world leaders at the G7 summit have announced that they're going to hold global temperature to below an increase of two degrees Celsius.
At the press conference, someone should ask whether Obama knows what two degrees Celsius is in Fahrenheit, because he'd give one of his I don't speak Austrian answers all over again.
So, he'll get it.
Oh, and by the way, the best way to hold the increase in global temperatures down is to do what NOAA, the National Oceanic and what is it, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, yeah, the big federal agency that's in charge, that will be in charge of implementing his plan to control the heavens, they've just done it the easy way.
They've rejiggered all their figures so that the lack of global warming these last 20 years has now amazingly turned into a spectacular rise in global warming.
So, I'm sure whatever the planet does, whatever the planet does, you know, however, what was it, 90 million years ago, there were alligators and turtles splashing in the Arctic Circle.
You know, right on Canada's northern shore, they had alligators and turtles.
So, if the planet decides to go for that scenario again, I'm not confident that a G7 Communique will be able to prevent it.
But if it does, if it does, NOAA will still massage the figures because they adjust their figures even more dramatically than Caitlin Jenner.
And they will determine that, in fact, whatever has happened, that Obama has succeeded in the year 2100, in the year 2100.
And he might well have left office by then, but it doesn't matter because we will still all be living with the benefits of his plan to hold the global temperature increase down to less than a two-degree increase.
That is the ultimate shovel-ready project, the ultimate stimulus.
The G7 leaders have pledged to hold the global temperature below two degrees.
It's like neocolonialists.
Why should they determine what the temperature is for Rwanda or Chad or Papua New Guinea?
But no, these imperialist hegemons, Obama and Monsieur Hollande and David Cameron, they all get together and they decide that this is what the planet's global temperature is going to be.
And the rest of you guys, you may be freezing your butt off in Greenland and you might like it a bit warmer, or you might be broiling down by the equator in Niger and you might like it a bit cooler, but you don't count because these seven neo-imperialists are going to set the global thermometer for the entire planet.
And that's what they were talking about.
And that's what they were talking about in the G7 communique.
And Obama.
Obama was serious when he addressed the U.S. Coast Guard.
This is America's big national security priority.
Don't pay any attention to people who say it's the Iranian, the global warming is because the big mushroom cloud that the Iranians just dropped on some guy.
Don't pay any attention to any of that kind of stuff.
Don't say that it's all the global warming is being caused by ISIS guys, sparks from them sharpening their scimitars to chop people's heads off all the time.
No, no, no.
Global warming, that climate change, that's what they were talking about.
And Obama will be flying back from another, whatever it was, 72 hours profitably spent addressing the serious issues facing us today.
Mark Stein, Infra Rush, 1-800-282-2882 on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
You're listening to America's number one radio show, the Rush Limbo Show, Rushes Away, and this is Mark Stein back behind the golden EIB microphone.
Honored to be here.
G7 summit has just wrapped up.
Obama on ISIS.
Quote, quote, quote, we don't yet have a complete strategy, unquote.
He doesn't yet.
For all the vast resources of the U.S. government, maybe they're all just working on lowering this global thermometer.
For all the vast resources of the U.S. government, and I know they're trying to deal with the climate change, but there must be a couple of people who could have given some attention to a, quote, complete strategy for ISIS.
Obama says we don't yet have a complete strategy.
That's what he said today in Germany at the G7 summit.
If you look at the timeline of this now, this is getting, we're just a few months shy of, say, Pearl Harbor, December 1941, June 1944, President Roosevelt standing up, well, not standing up, but sitting down, and announcing we don't yet have a complete strategy on Japan, or we don't yet have a complete strategy on Germany.
How can it take you?
How can it take you getting on for the length of a medium-length war before you've even got a strategy for fighting the war?
What is it?
Like an approvals process?
It's like trying to get a zoning permit in some she neighborhood for changing the color of your window shutters.
The permitting takes years before you can even get it and then start to do it.
We don't yet have a complete strategy on ISIS.
But unfortunately, ISIS has a complete strategy on you, and they're actually pretty good improvisers.
That's the spectacular thing about these guys.
You know, we mock them for being a bunch of seventh century bozos.
But in fact, they're much better at social media than Obama is.
You know, Obama's supposedly the cool kid on social media.
These guys use Facebook and Twitter to post their snuff videos and their pictures of little boys holding up the head that their dad has just decapitated.
And they're getting thousands and thousands of recruits from all over the world.
Roughly about two and a half for everyone we kill.
It's like we claim to have killed 10,000 of them.
But in the time we took to do that, 25,000 more have been recruited and joined.
So if that keeps happening, it's going to be a long war.
But Obama said, no, it would be unreasonable.
It would be unreasonable two and a half years after, a mere two and a half years after Pearl Harbor for us to have a strategy to defeat Imperial Japan or the Third Reich.
Completely unreasonable in a mere two and a half years.
I know we're coming up to D-Day, but D-Day stands for Don't Yet Have a Complete Strategy Day.
That's what he said on ISIS at the G7 summit.
The other big news out of the G7 summit, this was their other priority apart from climate change.
Women's entrepreneurship.
This is from the Communique.
Women's entrepreneurship is a key driver of innovation, growth, and jobs.
However, across G7 countries and around the world, far fewer women than men run their own businesses.
This is what the G7 guys, the leaders of the Western powers, sat around talking about.
And because it's true, I mean, how many women get to operate their own clitoridectomy clinics in Sudan?
If you look at Iran, every company that has the contract for all the stonings of women for adultery in Iran, they're all guys.
No women gets to run one of the trucking firms that deliver all the stones for the big stoning of the adulteresses in Afghanistan.
I mean, the G7 is dealing with the critical issues here.
In Afghanistan, they don't even have a take your child bride to work day.
That's how bad it is.
That's how bad it is.
So the G7 guys, they've been tackling climate change and women's entrepreneurship.
In Libya, which has imploded.
Libya is a very good example of women's entrepreneurship, by the way, because we put Hillary Clinton in charge of it.
But even in Libya, that is now totally imploded, and they're climbing into little boats and fleeing across the Mediterranean Sea.
How many women run those shipping companies in Libya that are getting all those people out?
These are the kinds of critical issues that the world's leaders have been talking about.
And Barack Obama will be coming back from that and will be doing for domestic issues what he's just been doing for global issues over in Germany.
And at a certain point, at a certain point, you figure that you might as well just pack this in because the danger of the coming election is that we are going to actually extend what's been happening for the next eight years.
There's a story today, I think it's in Politico, that says scandal only makes the no point bringing up scandal, scandal only makes the Clintons stronger.
In other words, Hillary is like Godzilla.
And you throw all this stuff at her, and she just scours it.
There's a story today that the Clinton Family Foundation, which is distinct from the Clinton Foundation, this is another one, the Clinton Crime Family Foundation.
I'm sorry, the Clinton Family Foundation.
They gave $100,000 to the New York Times just after a New York Times, to a New York Times charity, just as the New York Times endorsed Hillary for president in 2008.
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares because this guy says, Politigo says, oh, you can go on about the scandal, but she's just like Godzilla.
Hillary Zilla just chows down the latest scandal and emerges even stronger.
I think they're bluffing on this.
I think they're bluffing on this.
And We shouldn't let them set the tone on that.
We'll talk about that in just a moment.
Yes, Rush is taking a few days off, but don't forget, if you go to rushlimbaugh.com, you need not be discombobulated by any sinister foreign guest host, because all you have to do is become a Rush 24-7 subscriber, and you can get Rush at any time of the day or night, anytime you want him, 24-7.
You want to get up at 2 in the morning and decide, I can't handle hearing Rush in daytime hours, so I want to listen to him on the graveyard shift from 2 to 5.
You can do that by just going to Rush 24-7 and subscribing.
You'll get archives, you'll get podcasts, you'll get DittoCam video of Rush on the air.
As Rush said just a few weeks ago, they don't have DittoCam when the guest hosts are on because all of us are too ugly.
So if you want the Ditto Cam, you should go to RushSlimbaugh.com and become a Rush 24-7 subscriber.
And it makes a terrific Father's Day gift.
Father's Day is coming up, I think, in what is it, just a couple of weeks' time.
And if you give your dad a subscription to Rush 24-7, it's a great kind of dad-type thing to do because Rush is like a great sort of collective dad, I think, in terms of conservative ideas and conservative thinking in this country.
And your dad will thank you if you get him access to Rush 24-7.
And every time he goes on there, if he wants to listen to Rush at 3 in the morning and he can't sleep, because you know what dads are like when they get a bit old and they've got to keep up and they think, well, I'm getting up, I'm getting up to go to the bathroom every 20 minutes.
I might as well, what's the point of going back to bed?
I might as well just grab a seat and listen to Rush 24-7 in the middle of the night.
Your dad will thank you for that if you give him something to do on those nocturnal bathroom trips.
Rush 24-7, it's the perfect Father's Day gift.
You go to rushlimbaugh.com and he will help you out.
And by the way, you can also, while you're there, give him to splash out this Father's Day because men are having it tough.
This is an age that is squashing and suppressing men.
There's not going to be any men in 50 years' time.
In 50 years' time, men will be gone entirely, the way things are going on.
So it's kind of a rough time for men.
So splash out this year and give him a double Father's Day gift and get him a subscription to the Limbaugh letter.
Rush in the June issue has a great piece on the last bastion of American toughness, and that is the American Mail.
And so if you go to RushLimbaugh.com, treat him to a double Father's Day gift this year, the Limbaugh letter and a subscription to Rush 24-7.
I hope he's right about the American Mail being the last bastion of American toughness.
But you know, I'm sometimes not that optimistic about these things.
USA Today has a story that Spike TV, which is supposed to be some guy's channel, man's channel, it's supposed to be blokey telly.
It's where you go to get away from all the chick flicks and all the rest.
Spike TV has decided to cut Clint Eastwood's Caitlin Jenner joke.
Clint Eastwood, who was also the last bastion of American toughness.
And Clint's at the age where he doesn't care about anything anymore, and he's just made the most lucrative American film this century.
So he doesn't have to kiss up to any 12-year-old vice president at a Hollywood studio.
Clint Eastwood was presenting an award and he introduced Dwayne the Rock Johnson at this pre-taped Spike TV Guy's Choice Awards.
Guys Choke.
So this is supposed to be about the last bastion of American toughness.
This is supposed to be guys.
We're not supposed to have any of this view-type stuff, all this chickified stuff getting in there.
It's supposed to be guys, guys' choice awards.
What could be manlier than that?
And he says he's comparing Dwayne the Rock Johnson to famous sports people who've become actors, like, quote, Jim Brown and Caitlin somebody.
That's all Clint Eastwood said.
That's all Clint Eastwood said.
He said, oh, here's Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
He's a lot like some of these other sports guys who now become actors like Jim Brown and Caitlin somebody.
And because of that, the joke had to be cut.
Even on bloke TV, even on guy TV, even on Spike TV, even on Tough Bastion Manly TV, at something called the Guy's Choice Awards, you cannot disrespect.
You cannot disrespect certain people.
So even just uttering something that might be interpreted, if you were to analyze it for hours on end, as potentially, possibly insufficiently fawning and prostrating before Queen Caitlin, they said, no, no, no, we got to cut that.
We got to go.
So I hope Rush is right.
But you can read Rush's thoughts on The American Mail: The Last Bastion of American Toughness in this month's Limbaugh letter if you go to rushlimbaugh.com.
Now, I mentioned Hillary earlier.
And I mentioned Libya earlier, too.
And there's actually a brilliant criticism of Hillary by Ralph Nader.
Do you remember Ralph Nader?
He's like, well, Ralph Nader used to run for president every four years, and he's not running this year.
Although I say go for it, Ralph.
Jump in, because he's actually saying the sort of stuff that Bernie Sanders ought to be saying if Bernie Sanders really wanted to make a splash in this race.
He's accused Hillary of being a deep corporatist and a deep militarist who has made peace with the nation's power structure.
I think Hillary is not the Hillary of what she was 30 years ago.
She made peace with the power structure, and she is a deep corporatist and a deep militarist.
One can almost forgive the corporatism.
She moved to New York with Bill because that's where the power is and Wall Street is.
But her militarism is absolutely shocking.
And he cited the war in Libya, and he says this: She almost single-handedly did the Libyan war.
The Defense Department was against it.
Secretary Gates was against it.
And she persuaded the White House.
Obama had no view on it.
I don't suppose he cared one way or another.
And she persuaded the White House that it was an easy topple, that it was an easy topple.
And she's being accused of Benghazi.
The big thing, he says, is not Benghazi, but the huge amount of geography that has been destabilized because of the Libyan overthrow.
And he makes an absolutely terrific point here.
And if Bernie Sanders is the red-blooded socialist he claims to be, Bernie should be uttering this stuff instead of wandering around like a milk toast, afraid to disrespect Hillary in case she clubs him to a pulp.
If Bernie had any guts, he'd be saying this to her.
Libya is Hillary's war.
Those few emails that were kept and preserved and which the State Department has graciously released to you plebeian citizens make clear that Ralph Nader is actually right.
The issue is not Benghazi.
I mean, the issue is Benghazi in that she behaved disgracefully and Obama behaved disgracefully and real people died that day.
But the issue for Hillary is the entire Libyan mission.
She went into it because she thought it would be easy.
You know, this isn't like Iraq and Afghanistan.
We can just go in, knock off this guy, Gaddafi, and we'll look like tough guys and it'll be an easy thing.
And now that society has imploded.
ISIS are beheading Christians on the beach.
The black guys that Gaddafi liked to keep around just for workers and everything, all been chased out in town by hardcore Islamic racists.
Everybody else is trying to get on a boat and flee across the Mediterranean to the point where thousands of them are drowning in the Mediterranean.
This is Hillary's war.
And what those emails reveal is that she just went into it without a thought.
She wasn't like Obama sitting there stroking his chin saying, well, I don't yet have a complete strategy on ISIS.
I'm going to give it another three or four years, see if I can come up with one.
She just said, hey, this Gaddafi's been doing nothing to us, but let's just knock him off because it'll be easy.
Do you remember when he died?
The mob caught up with him and stuck a metal pole up a part of him I shouldn't be mentioning on the air?
Yeah, it was actually worse than Mussolini.
Mussolini didn't wind up getting shafted literally the way that Gaddafi did.
She went on TV, Hillary, and gave this smirk and said, this is the nearest thing.
This is the nearest thing to, this may be why she doesn't do many interviews.
She just gave a smirk and said, we came, we saw he died.
It was all a joke to her.
The fact that the country's collapsed, the economy's imploded, that people have been driven from their homes, that entire cities, those coastal ports are now in the hands of ISIS.
Oh, no, it doesn't matter.
We came, we saw he died.
Boy, I wish I had Hillary's gag writer.
And that's what ought to be hung around her neck.
She's wanting to be president of the United States.
Her war is Libya.
And those emails show that she went in there without a thought, without a plan, over the heads of the Defense Department, over the heads of Bob Gates, and pushed against an indifferent Obama.
And Libya is the dead albatross that we need to hang around her neck.
Mark Stein, Infarush, 1-800-282-2882.
Hey, Mark Stein in Farush on the EIB network.
Let's go to Bob in Glenwood, Illinois.
Bob, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh show.
Great to have you with us.
Hey, Mark.
I'll try and get to my point real quick.
I'd like to go back to climate change, if I may.
I'm just curious, you know, I hear all these things and I see things and I read things and I look at Discovery Channel and other sources through science, discovery, history channel about changes in the Earth, changes in planets around us.
I look at the fact of the Little Ice Age, that they call it a Little Ice Age, which I believe lasted 300 years in Europe.
I don't know if it was from the 12th to the 1500s or the 13th to the 1600s.
I apologize that I don't know those years that that occurred with no industrialization going on.
I think probes and rovers that are sent out through the universe and through scientific data, they talk about the changes in these planets.
Closest to us is Mars with canals of water and atmosphere, a very fertile place at one point in time, whether it was fertile like Earth or not.
I'm not sure if that's a fact or not, and how these changes occurred.
And I see all the scientific data that you can find in various publications, but yet I hear no one come out and talk about these things.
Now, I know these can't be liberal progressives because they wouldn't be doing this research and publishing.
And if they were, I don't understand why this is not brought to the forefront when mainstream media, who I know is on the side of the progressives and the liberals, to make us afraid of these kind of things, why there's no kickback to this.
I just don't understand it.
It's right there, but yet their voice is not being heard.
Are they being repressed?
Are they afraid to come out?
Well, I think they are afraid to come out to a certain extent, Bob.
But you're right.
You did used to hear about it.
I learned about the Little Ice Age.
By the way, you were kind of in the ballpark century-wise.
But what you got wrong was when you said it was just in Europe.
It wasn't in Europe.
The Little Ice Age, when they test for it in Chile, in South America, in Indonesia, it was a global phenomenon.
And we used to be taught about it in schools.
When I was a kid, I was taught about in schools.
It was something called the medieval warm period when they were able to farm in Greenland, and that's how it got the name Greenland.
That's the first clue.
And then that was followed by the Little Ice Age, when they used to hold ice fairs on the River Thames in London because the Thames froze.
The Thames used to freeze fairly regularly, and they would hold these giant ice fairs on the River Thames in London.
As I said, we know about it because Britain has a fairly long temperature record and all the rest of it.
But when they test these proxies, these ice cores and these corals and these sediments all around the world, they find the medieval warm period and the little ice age were global phenomena.
But the genius, and I should declare up front that the guy behind this is currently suing me.
Michael Mann invented this thing.
He's some guy at Penn State.
He invented this thing called the hockey stick that the IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, made a big deal of, and it went all over the world.
And it was actually the main reason why most of the Western world, except America, signed up for Kyoto, Bob.
I mean, they basically saw this hockey stick, which had the last thousand years completely flat, and then the giant blade, the 20th century, shooting up out the corner of the graph in the top right-hand corner and up into the atmosphere, like we're all going to burn, we're all going to broil.
And what that did was it eliminated what Bob was talking about, climate, natural climate variability.
The reason there are dinosaur bones in the middle of North America is because the oceans flooded at one point, and a great big bowl of water came into large parts of Canada and the United States and preserved all the dinosaur bones absolutely beautifully.
So you can find dinosaur bones up in Alberta and you can find dinosaur bones down south in the desert because it was once a lake, a giant lake.
And this idea that that stupid hockey stick peddled was that nothing happened.
This was a completely stable climate and nothing happened until horrible Western man came along and climbed into his SUV and went along to the mall to live his hideous consumerist lifestyle.
And that's when the temperature suddenly began to rise.
What Bob is talking about, and he makes a very good point here.
What Bob is talking about is what real scientists call geologic time.
And that basically means that, you know, and I'm here, this was one point where I am, which is Canada and the top tier of American states, was once all frozen solid under ice.
And whatever the G7 communique says, if the Earth or God or whoever's controlling the thermostat decides that Canada is going to be covered in a sheet of ice from the Arctic Circle to the 49th parallel again, there's nothing you can do about it except sell your ski pad in British Columbia and hightail it out of there.
Because that's geologic time.
And no matter how many communiques Barack Obama and Président Hollande and Mr. Cameron and Frau Merkel and all these other clever guys issue, there's nothing they can do about that.
And all the rest is complete humbug.
We do not control the Earth's thermostat.
And as I said, when you look at the stuff that these guys can't do, the idea that we ever can control the thermostat is the most insane, mad, demented vanity.
And we should laugh at these guys when they issue a communique pledging to hold down the global thermostat.
Mark Stein for Rush, more in a moment.
This is how bad it is, folks.
New York Democrats, that's her state nominally.
New York Democrats are worrying that Hillary is such a loser that they're pushing Michael Bloomberg to run for president on the Democrat ticket.
This is great.
I mean, he might not want to do it.
He spends every weekend in Bermuda.
And so he's only going to be able to campaign Monday to Thursday if he does decide to run for president.
But actually, with Democrat candidates, the less they're able to campaign generally, the better it is for their poll numbers.
But this is New York Democrats' great idea.
