Time Text
Okay, so we got this big story out here that we've now opened our embassy with the Cubans and uh they've opened theirs with us.
So I had a guy asked me this morning, so what do you think JFK would say to this?
I know exactly what JFK would say.
He said, I need more cigars.
Get me some more cigars, is what he would say.
It's been long enough.
That's what he would say.
Great to have you back, Rushlin Baugh at 800-282-2882, the email address Lrushmo at EIB net.com.
Now I just saw this, I just saw this.
It doesn't matter what network.
I'll just tell you it was Fox, but it doesn't matter what network.
As you know, let me set the table.
There is a horrible drought in California.
It's worse than any drought has ever been, ever, at any time, anywhere on the planet.
This drought is so bad that it's given other droughts a bad name as frauds.
It's a drought so bad we can't recover from this drought.
This this drought, and it's all because of global warming that, by the way, isn't happening on 21 years with no temperature increase.
Oh, and speaking, if I may make a brief departure.
I talked to our official climatologist yesterday who told me that two more formerly reliable organizations on global warming are now caving and joining with others and literally falsifying the data to indicate there has been warning warming over the last 21 years.
And I found a piece that I may not be able to get to today, but it's the eight stages of scam.
The eight stages of how a scam is pulled off.
And it uses cholesterol, the cholesterol scam as an example, and uh uh attempts to indicate where we are in the global warming scam versus the same time in the cholesterol scam.
The cholesterol scam took 50 years to expose.
And we've got a long way to go, apparently, if that's true.
So anyway, you get this drought that's just worse than any drought's ever been, right?
I mean, it's so bad that Tom Selleck got fined 21 grand for watering his avocado trees against the law.
But because he's Tom Selleck and looks good and is a nice guy, they only fined him 21 grand and are continuing to let him use the water to water his avocado trees.
Now there's this also this thing called El Nino.
Now, the El Nino is a ocean temperature pattern out in the far, far, far western Pacific.
The last major El Niño, they happen frequently, but the last major El Nino was 1997.
El Niño's impact on weather in the contiguous 48 states is massive rainfall for the left coast.
More dry than normal conditions in the upper Midwest, and chillier and wetter across the American South, including us in the Sunshine State.
And I remember that '97, El Nino, because it was my first year here.
And all first year arrivals in Florida are obsessed with two things.
Wintertime temperatures and hurricanes.
Well, your first winter here, you want it to be 80 degrees every day so you can smugly call your friends up north and make them feel terrible.
The next thing you don't want is any hurricane sitting, because you just bought a house here and you don't want a hurricane coming along and blowing it all away.
So you become glued to whatever weather source you can find back then.
It was the weather channel that was the biggie.
Things were starting to come into play on the internet, but basically it was the weather channel.
Now the 1997 drought, that proved out to be true.
Here in South Florida, it was much wetter, and it was much chillier.
We've had since that, well, we've had pretty mild winters.
We can count the number of days below 70 on two hands in the last couple, three years, for example.
Uh they've they've been great, and they've been pretty dry.
But that 97, 98 winter, it was wet, and it was cold.
It was in the 60s all the time, which is cold here in the winter.
And California got drenched.
Now, the previous rainfall that was significant in California was 1985 or 84, maybe 86.
They had a hundred-year flood and rainfall in Northern California in 86.
It was not an El Nino year.
Just happened to have I happened to live there at the time.
That's why I remember that one.
And they had all these houses on stilts that were falling off the sides of mountains on which they were constructed.
And you get up near Monterey and the coast, uh little South San Francisco, and it was devastating.
Golf courses were flooded and washed away into the Pacific.
And I happen to know that because members of these courses were assessed, all kinds of new financial dues to repair the damage, and they were all ticked off at how much it was cost.
That's how I know this stuff.
Don't doubt me on this stuff.
So it was massive rain, and it was torrential, and it never ended.
I mean, it was just ongoing in California.
It happened, it was an everyday, mostly in the northern part of the state, but some in Southern.
You know, give you an example.
There was a game in Anaheim.
The Angels and the Red Sox were rained out over the weekend.
And it was the first rain out.
Anaheim is Disneyland, for those of you in Rio Linda.
First rain out for the California Angels at home since 1995.
The first rainout since 20 years.
So here comes Fox News, and they have a report on the upcoming El Nino that people are now thinking they see forming out there in the far reaches of the Western Pacific.
And it's looking bad, folks.
Oh man, it's looking bad.
It looks to rival the El Nino we had in 1997.
And they got some meteorologist hack to come on and tell everybody the following.
But it isn't going to alleviate the drought by a thimble.
You know why?
Because it's going to cause so much damage.
It's going to wash away so much property that the rain that we get is not going to result in any drought relief whatsoever.
And that is just flat out irresponsible.
I'm sorry.
This global warming stuff's bad enough, but now we got these people predicting doom six, seven months away from now, based on an El Nino they think is forming.
And now they're already telling us it's gonna be really bad.
So much rain it will not help the drought.
Now go figure that.
It wasn't, I'm not blaming Fox.
They found some meteorologist expert, probably put out a press release with an with a logo and so forth, it makes himself an expert, and he's out just preaching doom and gloom to everybody.
So in the middle of one of the worst droughts in the history of droughts, a forecast is for massive El Nino rains this winter.
But it isn't gonna matter.
Isn't gonna matter.
You know why?
Because you're gonna lose your house.
And roads and bridges are gonna wash away.
And it's going to be utter disaster.
How can the people of this country ever on a single given day feel optimistic about anything if they happen to watch the news?
It's impossible.
You wait, you wait.
You track this.
Find out how long it takes before people start telling you what they saw on the news about the upcoming El Nino.
It's gonna be so bad, there's gonna be so much rain, it's not gonna help the drought.
You're gonna scratch your head at that one.
You mean kind of like how the rich got rich by taking all the money from the poor?
You know, the math on that's never worked out for me.
How did the rich get rich by stealing money from the poor?
The poor never had anything, so how do but that's what we're told happens with trickle down and reaganomics.
And now we're told that massive record rain will not alleviate the drought.
So you people in California, it doesn't, you are doomed.
You're doomed, and of course, not because you got Democrats running your state, which is the real reason you're doomed.
No, you're doomed because El Nino is forming and a massive, massive winter long rainstorm with mudslides is coming.
And you know as well as I do, this is going to be repeated and spread around like gossip.
It won't be long.
And everybody will think that it is a fate accompli.
It's automatic.
It's going to happen.
Yeah, I saw it on TV.
Saw this meteorite look really good too.
Look like a real professional.
Oh, where'd the report take place?
Well, naturally, you're standing in Malibu.
Yeah, they're on the beach in Malibu with this report, where it looks peaceful.
In fact, it looks very inviting.
And of course, the purpose of standing there in Malibu is this will not be here after the El Niño hits.
I wouldn't be able to do this report because this won't be here.
This will be washed away or mud or underwater, and I would be dead if I stayed here in the upcoming El Nino.
And it's not enough to say, well, Barbara Streisand will lose her house.
It's not enough.
Just kidding.
Just trying to get somebody's attention.
But this is the kind of thing that happens every day, be it food, be it weather, be it whatever.
It's just a never-ending drumbeat of doom, gloom, despair, destruction, hopelessness.
All on something they're guessing at.
Okay, you know, El Nino is just different surface water temperatures and the currents, the patterns, the currents of the uh the ocean and the temperatures of the water and longitude and latitude of it all.
It happens frequently, but apparently when they come along now and then they can really tell it's gonna be really bad, Mabel.
And this is one of them.
Oh, yes, and of course it's because of global warming.
Yes, even though we haven't had one of these since 1997, yes, it's because of global warming.
Uh anyway, it just ticks me up.
Meanwhile, Daily Caller, the Earth has entered its 21st year without global warming.
And after September of this year, the Earth will be entering its 21st year without statistically significant warming.
According to satellite-derived temperature data, not computer models, not projections, not wild guesses, but actual satellite data, the most reliable data there is.
Since September of uh 1994, the University of Alabama in Huntsville satellite temperature data has shown no statistically significant global warming trend.
For over 20 years, there's been no warming trend apparent in the satellite records, and it'll soon be entering into year 21 with no warming trend apparent in satellite data.
Satellite data from the remote sensing systems, that's RSS group, also shows a prolonged hiatus in global warming.
After November of this year, RSS data will be in its 21st year without warming.
Ironically, the so-called hiatus in warming started when Algor and environmental groups touted satellite data as evidence a slight warming trend had occurred since 1979.
Uh meaning the word hiatus is purple.
That's the left and the pro-global warming crazy.
Oh, yeah, there's warming.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, what's going on?
There's been a little hiatus, though.
Warming took a 21-year timeout.
Really?
Why?
Well, uh, the volcanoes and uh, well, Sahara dust and uh well.
They have no answer because it's all computer model predictions.
There's no data.
There isn't any data of global warm.
It's all based on computer models, predictions.
50 and 100 years out.
Meanwhile, another group, I had this for you last week.
Another group has been watching the sun, and they are alarmed.
Sunspot activity, solar storms are decreasing and have been for quite a while.
And this group thinks that we are destined For massive cooling in 15 years, 2030, because of massively decreased sun activity.
In fact, the term used in the story was the sun's gonna take a little nap.
That doesn't mean it's going out.
For those of you in Rio Linda just means that it's it's there's massive cooling coming.
Massive cooling now much much sooner than the massive warming.
And there's a related story to this.
Also in the Daily Caller, in a recent congressional hearing, a Republican lawmaker criticized the EPA chief administrator Gina McCarthy for claiming that the EPA's pending rule to limit carbon dioxide emissions from power plants was enormously beneficial when it would only avert one one hundredth of a degree of global warming.
By the way, this is established as fact.
The EPA has mandated new rules of behavior on carbon dioxide emissions and power plants.
And they admit, the EPA admits that this massive new rule reducing emissions will only cause one one hundredth of a degree centigrade of global warming.
Now, folks, when they admit that, you know, you can't even measure one one hundredth of a degree on it.
You can't feel it.
You can't there's no impact on ecosystems at a one one hundredth of a degree after massive reductions in CO2.
One one hundredth of a degree, and they admit that.
It's ten amount to admitting there is no human fix for climate change.
Which there isn't, folks, because we haven't caused it.
And if we haven't caused it, we certainly can't fix it.
And they can't blame us for causing it.
All they can do is scare people and propagandize people into believing it.
But they have no data.
They've got computer models.
That's all they've got.
And this hockey stick BS from the medieval warming period.
All of it, wild guesses.
Nothing but wild guesses.
It's just, it's amazing how this works out.
It's fascinating.
Anyway, but I gotta take a break now.
You sit tight, we'll be back.
We have more straight ahead.
Don't go away.
What are the three biggest stories from last week that you can't recall anybody screaming about today?
The planned parenthood baby parts body shop.
Chop shop.
The out of the blue terror attack on U.S. soil by a kid named Muhammad, and they are still turning over every rock looking for a motive.
And now they're blaming drugs in the American culture for corrupting a young Muslim.
I kid you not, drugs, the American culture rock and roll, made this guy a killer of uniform military people.
Still looking for that motive.
Still looking real real hard.
And uh Obama giving nukes to Iran.
And this that's still in the news, but not that he gave nukes to Iran, that the U.S. Congress is not gonna have a role in ratifying it, but the UN's already done it.
Uh Cupcake New York, Barbara High.
Great to have you on the EIV network.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
Thank you for taking my call in the case.
You bet truly an honor.
Thank you.
Uh before I give the reason why I was calling, if I can just make a quick comment on the climate change.
Yeah.
For 63 years I've lived in the Northeast.
So I've I've experienced climate change for 63 years.
Winter, summer, spring, and fall.
I was gonna say there hadn't been any.
Yes, I like that.
Winter, spring, summer, and um.
I want to thank you for beginning your program today with the first comment you made was that this is a teachable moment.
And the teachable moment was that You began with the significant news of the day, which is the uh United Nations Security Council vote on the Iran nuclear deal.
Thank you.
Followed by the Social Securities attempted attack on the Second Amendment.
Well now I haven't gotten to the details of that, that's coming up, but I'm glad you mo you noticed that.
Exactly.
And the last thing, although all this has one common denominator, the last thing is the McCain Trump back and forth.
To me, that's a distraction.
And I'll tell you why, Rush.
Because I have to defend Trump.
Okay.
Trump is being the victim of political correctness here.
Just as you have been the victim of political correctness in your career for the many years I've listened to you.
And I have to respect Trump for not backing down to political correctness, just as I have respected you over the years for not backing down to political correctness.
Everything that is in the news today, or that has been happening in our country for the last few decades, the same common denominator is political correctness.
That's that's my feeling, Russ.
I think you're pretty well said.
Political correctness combined with the fact that the Democrats seem never guilty of violating it.
Have you noticed?
Politically incorrect stuff is only committed by Republicans and conservatives.
Oh, that's just old Joe.
Yeah, it's just Hey, that's just Bill, you know, he likes girls.
What the hell are you gonna do?
Ashley Madison.
You know what Ashley Madison is?
Not who?
What?
Ashley Madison is a website for people that want to cheat on their spouses.
Ashley Madison is a what are they 36 million uh 37 million people have memberships at Ashley Madison.com.
If you want to cheat on your spouse, you registered there, and the website will put you together with potential cheaters.
And of course, there's implied security and uh privacy.
And unless you really, really screw it up, nobody will know.
Well, all that's out the window because they've been hacked.
And the hackers are demanding, if they don't shut down, they're gonna release every name that is a member.
All 37 million will be released if this site doesn't shut down.
Now, who do you think is behind this?
You know that ChICOs have the database.
The ChICOMs have a database of 25 million government workers.
The Chicoms have Hillary's database.
They have to have.
And the ChICOMs probably have this too.
I don't think the ChICOM is behind this.
Uh who do you think is Trump behind this maybe?
No, no, seriously, who's behind this?
I mean who who who benefits from this?
Now, before you start thinking that it's a bunch of Victorian holier than thou Christians who are trying to clean up a polluted corrupted society, I I I want to give you another alternative.
My guess is that it is either a man or a woman who found out that his or her spouse has been using this site and has been cheating on him or her.
Snurdley thinks it's an angry woman.
It could be either an angry genius woman who either pulled off the hack on her own or partnered with people to tell her how to do it.
That's what Snertley thinks.
Snerdley does not think that it's a group of Christians holier than thou who are fed up with the sewer that has become American culture.
A bunch of Victorians trying to clean things up.
He thinks it's a really, really miffed off spouse.
And if they don't what what are the either shut down or they're right.
shut down.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
By the way, the database, when you join this place, it's not just you just not putting your name up there as a candidate for cheating.
You fill out a profile.
You know, the kind of stuff you like.
They match you up.
Say you've got a fantasy of this or that.
They match you with somebody that they think would be okay with your fantasy.
Who has a fantasy that the hackers are threatening to publicize all this if the site doesn't shut down.
Obama will probably call them.
Commiserate with them.
Or he'll have Bill Clinton call them on his behalf.
Clinton probably hoping for the hack, so he can get the names without having to join.
National Rifle Association, Institute for Legislative Action.
As the LA Times reported on July 18th, the Social Security Administration is currently developing a program to strip Second Amendment rights of over four million Americans currently receiving Social Security Administration benefits through a representative payee.
Now, not only would this amount to the largest gun grab in American history, but according to the published report in the LA Times, it would take place without any due process protections for recipients, amounting to a nullification of Second Amendment rights for millions of Americans who don't pose a threat to themselves or anybody else.
The new program appears to have been instigated by the Social Security Administration in response to a memo issued by Obama in January of 2013, which directed all federal agency executives to improve the availability of records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System NICS.
The Obama memo required all agency heads to submit to the Department of Justice a plan for sharing all relevant federal records for submission to this national instant criminal background check system.
Now, apparently that Obama's Social Security Administration bureaucrats read all relevant federal records to mean all social security recipients who have a representative payee assigned to their accounts to help them manage their payments and receipts.
Now, obviously, many people swept up in this case of bureaucratic overreach would not otherwise be prohibited from owning, possessing, or acquiring firearms under federal law.
So here we have in essence, what's going to happen here?
These four million people to start, this is just the beginning, as it always is, are going to have to give up their Second Amendment rights as a prerequisite for receiving social security benefits.
they are going to have to voluntarily turn in their guns and their ammo in order to get Social Security.
Now again, this is initially for around 4 million Americans who get Social Security benefits through a representative payee.
Okay.
But Social Security is not alone in the directive.
The Obama memo names several agencies, including the Department of Defense, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Transportation, and others, as the chair may designate.
Potentially bureaucrats in all of these agencies could be working hard to identify and forward all relevant federal records to the national instant criminal background check system pursuant to the Obama mandate.
And in total, the program could easily grow to include many more millions of Americans who have any connection to the federal government through these various agencies named.
It's a surreptitious way to disarm people, starting with seasoned citizens who are going to be threatened with turning in their guns in order to continue receiving benefits.
Now, this proviso here of representative payee.
I'm sorry, I don't know what that means, and I got the story late.
I got this story after the program started.
I have not had a chance.
Some of you on Social Security might know what it is.
But whatever it is, it limits to four million recipients, those originally first impacted by this.
It's not every Social Security recipient.
only the 4 million who are thought to receive their benefits through a representative payee.
Now, a payee is who you write your check to.
So you write a check to uh the power company, then they are the pay.
I don't know, the not the pay or you are the pay or the pay e is the name on the check.
So I we'll figure this out and find out what this means.
How many people are going to resist giving up their guns?
How many are gonna resist giving up their guns and not get their checks?
This would include Social Security disability checks, too.
Okay, here it is.
A representative payee is defined as an individual or organization appointed by the Social Security Administration to receive Social Security and SSI benefits for somebody who cannot manage or direct someone else to manage his or her money.
So it's basically somebody that doesn't know what they're doing and has somebody else receiving the check for them and minding it and managing it and organizing it.
Those people are the first to be told uh if you have a gun, you're not getting benefits.
You've got to give up your gun and your ammo, or your benefits are gonna be cut off.
And again, the LA Times is the source on this for the NRA discovering it and essentially retweeting it.
Seattle mayor.
This is from the website Progressives Today, Seattle mayor in an effort to appease followers of Islamic Sharia law.
Seattle mayor Ed Murray is searching for ways to help them buy houses.
You see, according to Sharia law, Muslims are forbidden to pay interest on loans.
And that makes it impossible for most of them to buy a house.
So Mayor Ed Murray wants to meet with lenders to solve this problem and possibly put the rest of the public on the hook for the debt.
I mean, this is from the Puget Sound wing of the business journal.
But how else are you going to do this?
You go to the banks, look, we want you to loan to Sharia Muslims, but they they if their religion prevents them from paying interest.
Well, how do we get what's the point?
We'll get somebody else to pay you the interest on it, but you've got to loan them on the he's he wants to set up a mandate.
Much like the subprime mortgage crisis, lend money to people you knew couldn't pay it back.
This is lend money to people whose religion prohibits them paying interest.
Well, somebody's gonna pay it.
Attention, Seattle, somebody's gonna pay the interest if this plan ever sees the white of day.
Quickly, David in Columbia, South Carolina.
It's great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush Woodard, what an honor.
Thank you.
Well, I'm glad you made it, sir.
Okay, uh, just a couple quick points about this database.
Um, first of all, that's a community organizer's absolute dream.
So it's it's really not a shock that the organizer in chief would would come up with this idea.
But it's it's putting the full force and and power of the United States government behind the extortion racket that community organizers use to get those loans.
And I'd be real curious to see if Malibu and Martha's Vineyard, oh shoot, brush, you better watch out.
Maybe Palm Beach.
Um, if they're looking for new neighbors, you know.
Uh how is that going to work out that that uh well that's an excellent question?
Well, let's let's let's take the example of Malibu.
Okay.
Now, Malibu, they've got this.
We're talking about the the fair housing rule here in this case, but it's all part of this massive database on everybody that Obama has collected that Maxine Waters warned us about in 2013.
If you miss the opening hour of this program, go to Rushlimbaugh.com later and and eat this up because it's it's juicy.
One of the things they're going to have the power to do is integrate neighborhoods based on race and class.
And the way it'll happen is they will force developers to build quote unquote affordable housing right next to million-dollar homes.
That will be the power the federal government will have.
Now, would they dare do that in Malibu, where so much Obama and Democrat Party money comes from?
It's going to be totally at their discretion.
So I would have to say no.
They're not going to mess up their own donors.
This is going to be targeted as usual to advance the Democrat Party agenda.
The thing to keep in mind is this rule will still exist when Republicans are president, too.
So anyway, I there's more on this to be said.
I don't have time.
We've got to get out of here right now.
American Zach Johnson just won the British Open in a playoff over Louis DuCaison of South Africa.
Congratulations, Zach Johnson, second time major winner.
Masters was his first one.
