	Welcome back, my friends.
	Great to have you.
	What?
	Come on, why couldn't you ask me?
	Jeez, right in the middle of the show open.
	No, I actually think it's over.
	I actually think Trump versus Fox News, at least the incarnation of last week is over.
	I think we're moving on.
	I could be wrong, but we shall see.
	Anyway, greetings and welcome back.
	It's great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone, executing a signed host duties flawlessly.
	Zero mistakes.
	Telephone number is 800-282-2882.
	If you want to be on the program, the email address, Lrushmore at EIBNet.com.
	You look there a couple of three things I mentioned today that I think on a normal day would be really, really important, and I've mentioned them, but kind of in passing.
	I may hold them over and get back to them tomorrow.
	This business about the New York Times and their story on scientists today, Coca-Cola buying some scientists to say what Koch once said, and 29 scientists have signed on to Obama's nuclear deal.
	I mean, the New York Times is pretty much inadvertently undermined the whole notion of scientists alone as enough to offer credibility to particularly climate change.
	But the second story that's big is this discovery from the insurance journalist, insurancejournal.com website, that climate change is now its own industry, a one and a half trillion dollar industry.
	And you might say, well, what's the what's the industry?
	What's the business about it?
	One of the most I don't know what you'd say.
	Um of the areas of climate change that's got the most money circulating in it is consultancy.
	People that consult businesses and others on how to be compliant, on how to escape any kind of sanction or what have you.
	The entire climate change market has a consulting market.
	I'm reading here from the report, which a recent report by the Journal estimates at $1.9 billion worldwide and almost $1 billion in the United States alone.
	And that means because there is a huge consultancy aspect in climate change, it means that most of it is related to policymaking.
	And what that means is the whole thing is a trumped-up mechanism by which people can score dollars.
	It has nothing to do with actual science.
	It has nothing to do with what is actually happening.
	It is a trumped-up money-making scheme, disguised as an environmental crisis.
	And there is big money to be had from the government if a business signs on and goes green.
	There are grants, there are waivers from tax policy, there are all kinds of favorable things that can happen to you if you get on board the whole idea of man-made global warming.
	In other words, government mandates and policies are what drive the entire climate change industry.
	Now, I would venture to say that the vast majority of rank and file everyday Americans believe that this is an issue because it is really an issue and it's really dangerous, and it has really a lot of bad things that could happen.
	All this talk about rising sea levels, and all this talk about the dead polar bears, and all of this talk about violent extreme weather, and it's all just fodder to facilitate public support by which policy making is implemented and money can be allocated to it in the federal budget,
	from Which then smart players can get their hands on some of it.
	But it's even more intricately woven, web of deceit, than even that.
	But really, all you need to know, I mean, and then things descend from there is that climate change is its own industry now.
	Its own business.
	It has its own cronyism, corporate government cronyism.
	And so forth.
	So on a normal day would have spent significant time on it.
	But I'm gonna hold it over for the next time it is relevant.
	But here are the two sound bites I promised mere moments ago.
	This uh both these go back to Friday.
	YouTube channel called The Viewer's View, the host of Lynette Hardaway and and Rochelle Richardson.
	They are um they're all a rage on the internet right now.
	They love Trump, a couple of African American women.
	Kelly Megan, whatever your name is.
	Rosie O'Donnell started that whole foolishness.
	She was on a view, and she once spoke out against Donald, and Donald had to come back on her.
	So I don't know why you're gonna make this here a part of your forum last night.
	You know, perhaps you don't need to be hosting debate.
	Perhaps what she needs to do, maybe it's time for us to file Kelly and make her go back to report news at the local news.
	Try Sesame Street.
	Okay.
	Maybe you should go back and report news for Sesame Street, a debate with them.
	You don't need to host another debate!
	laughs
	I'll pull I'll I'll I'll rerun it.
	Well, he went by too fast.
	You weren't able you couldn't keep up with that.
	That was uh that was Lynette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, and one of them is basically parroting or echoing the other in this case.
	The leader in this bite is Lynette Hardaway, and she Kelly Megan, whatever your name is, Rosie O'Donnell started his whole foolishness in Rochelle Richardson, yeah.
	Hardaway.
	She was on the view, yeah.
	And she she the one spoke out against Donald, and Donald had a comeback on it.
	He had to.
	So I don't know why.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So I don't know why.
	You're gonna make this here, yeah.
	A part of your forum last night.
	Yeah.
	You know, perhaps you don't need to be hosting debate.
	Perhaps.
	Perhaps what you need to do is for us to file Kelly and make her go back to reporting news.
	Yeah.
	Okay, then now that's a little bit of it.
	Here's here's the whole thing in its entirety now.
	Kelly Megan, whatever your name is.
	Rosie O'Donnell started that whole fools.
	Yeah, she was on a view, and she the once spoke out against Donald, and Donald had to come back on her.
	So I don't know why you're gonna make this here a part of your forum last night.
	You know, perhaps you don't need to be hosting debate.
	Perhaps what she needs to do, maybe it's time for us to file Kelly and make her go back to report news on the local news.
	Try Sesame Street.
	Okay.
	Maybe you should go back and report news for Sesame Street and debate with them.
	You don't need to host another debate.
	Okay, that's the first one.
	I'm telling you, these gals are the rage of the internet.
	And they have been all weekend.
	Here's Lynette Hardaway leading the way, not done by a long shot.
	I think they call her show either Megan foul or Kelly Foul, whatever it is.
	Maybe it's time for her to file out.
	File out, go report the news for Sesame Street.
	I would love to see you sitting up there with Carmen and Miss Piggy.
	Okay.
	And you know what, Kelly?
	Yeah.
	They already say you look like a tab Lord Barbie doll.
	A tabloid bar.
	You know what?
	I wonder which tab Lord is she working for.
	Who is trying to push you to destroy Donald Trump?
	All right.
	Who is it?
	We got to get on top of who it is.
	Yeah.
	That's he, she's trying that's got to her to make her destroy Donald Trump.
	And see, we wouldn't talk about none of this.
	We would never talk about it.
	But I woke up with it on my mind.
	Pissed off with Megan Kelly, or Kelly Meghan, whatever her name is.
	Leave Donald Trump alone.
	Leave Donald Trump.
	Leave him alone.
	Period.
	Bye.
	So there you have it.
	The uh the hosts Lynette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson On the viewers view YouTube channel speaking about Thursday's Republican presidential debate.
	Now we will um we'll link to both those at Rush Limbo.com so that you can see the video that accompanies that audio.
	Now back to the audio sound bites.
	We're gonna go back to uh the Today Show today.
	This is Savannah Guthrie is interviewing Trump, and they're talking about his comments about Meghan Kelly, and this follows F. Chuck Todd on the Today Show, asking Donald, why can't you just apologize?
	Man, just be done with it.
	Just say you're sorry.
	And he's not gonna do that, by the way.
	He's not, I'll tell you what the reason he's not gonna do it is because he's not going to admit that he was wrong.
	That's just not who he is, temperamentally, personally.
	So Savannah Guthrie was the next on NBC to give this a go.
	If someone made such a comment about a female journalist, suggesting that they were on their menstrual site.
	That would be inappropriate.
	It would be classless and juvenile and over the line, right?
	I happen to be a smart person.
	I went to the best schools, I was a great student, I built a great empire, I did the art of the deal, I did the apprentice.
	What does it say to you that so many people think you did that very thing?
	That your reputation is such that people thought that.
	It's all fueled by the press, by you and the press.
	I mean, it's ridiculous.
	Who would say such a thing?
	No, if I would have said that, it would have been an appropriate.
	I went to the best schools.
	I'm too smart to make a reference about periods about Meghan Kelly.
	Just too smart.
	I got the best grades, best schools, built an empire.
	I wouldn't do it.
	So another journalist shows up in the OK Corral with Trump and walks away with an empty cylinder.
	Here's Carly Fiorina.
	This is what our caller was talking about toward the end of the previous hour.
	It's on State of the Union.
	Jake Tapper talking to Carly Fiorina says, Are you offended by Trump personally attacking Meghan Kelly?
	Are you offended by how many are interpreting his remarks about blood?
	They were completely inappropriate and offensive comments.
	Period.
	I started out as a secretary.
	And as I made my way up in the business world, a male-dominated business world, I've had lots of men imply that I was unfit for decision making because maybe I was having my period.
	So I'll say it, okay?
	Women understood that comment, and yes, it is offensive.
	Okay.
	You know, folks, this it is what it is.
	I mean, people are gonna.
	There's no doubt there are a bunch of stereotypes associated uh with this.
	And so the fray has been joined.
	Jeb Bush, Saturday in Atlanta.
	This is at the Red State Gathering.
	Come on.
	Give me a break.
	I mean, are we do we want to win?
	Do we want to insult 53% of all voters?
	What Donald Trump said is wrong.
	So the war on women meme thereby was reinforced uh by Jeb Bush, who um by the way, if you're just joining us, I should I maybe remind you that there have been um there's been a a poll to actually two now.
	But there was an NBC survey monkey poll, an online poll that is scientific, they claim.
	3,000 respondents, and in that poll, and this this is following all this dust up that happened on Thursday night.
	Trump went up a point, 22 to 23 percent.
	The big news in this poll, Ted Cruz in second place to 13 percent, after he's up seven percent.
	Ben Carson was up three percent to eleven percent, and Carly Fiorina had the biggest jump.
	She went up from two percent to eight percent.
	That's a six percent increase.
	Uh well, a six-point increase.
	And she was tied there with Marco Rubio.
	Jeb Bush was down three points after the Thursday night.
	Fox debate.
	Cruz's support more than doubled, and Fiorina's more than tripled.
	And Ben Carson, too.
	And those results have been echoed in the public policy polling poll that was just released about a half hour ago, maybe 45 minutes ago.
	In Iowa, Trump is at 19%.
	And the second place is right here.
	Second place, Ben Carson and Scott Walker at uh 12%.
	Jeb Bush at 11, Carly Fi Arena at 10, which is way up for her.
	Cruz was flat at uh at 9%.
	So in two polls since this dust up, Trump is either flat or up a uh a point.
	But others who did well, by the way, in that debate, Carly did great in her five o'clock debate, and and Cruz did well, and apparently a lot of people liked what Ben Carson did as well.
	So take a brief time out, we'll come back.
	Much more as you know.
	There's always much more at this time of the program.
	Stay right where.
	Okay, for the other news category out there, story from the Washington Free Beacon, Hillary Clinton staffer, says that Donald Trump probably hurt her feelings by suggesting she attends events for money.
	Remember in the debate where somebody asked Trump, well, what is it?
	Hillary Clinton's in the front row of your wedding and so forth.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	She showed up.
	She showed up because I had to pay for her to get there and to donate to her charity.
	And she was there, and her husband showed up at the reception.
	Well, the communications director for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign said that Trump likely hurt Hillary's feelings during that debate.
	Communications director Jennifer Palmyari disputed Trump's claim during the debate that Clinton attended his wedding because of the money he once donated to the Clinton Crime Family Foundation.
	It hurt her feelings, I'm sure, to hear him suggest that she that he that he didn't want her there for her company, Paul Mary told reporters, Clinton campaign headquarters in Brooklyn.
	Yeah, I didn't know she had feelings to hurt.
	But you learn something every day here on the EIB No.
	I didn't did you know that Nurse Ratchet had feelings.
	By the way, you know, Dawn just reminded me of something.
	I and I this is true.
	In fact, I was not on that get in trouble for this, I was heralded.
	Remember the All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion?
	You people that have not been the wifers of this program way back, this is during the first Bush presidency, Bush 41, and there was a dictator in Panama by the name of Manuel Noriegan.
	He was uh his nickname was Pineapple Face, because he was pockmarked all over the place.
	And he used to be one of our allies, and he turned into an enemy, and we ended up indicting him for something or other, and yeah, running drugs at what it was.
	He went into hiding, and we couldn't find him anywhere.
	And about that time I came across something I didn't know.
	And I'm not afraid to admit when I don't know things.
	I'm not afraid to admit when I learn things.
	Never.
	I don't care.
	Some people would be embarrassment, not me.
	Not I. I didn't know about this menstrual cycle synchronization phenomenon with women who live together in the same buildings and so forth.
	And I did not know about that.
	When I learned that, and it was right around the time we're talking about women in combat.
	Women in combat was just entering the controversial physic of issue discussion.
	So I came up with a way we found out that Noriega was hiding.
	Found out where he was.
	Panama was the papal nuncio.
	He was hiding in there because he figured nobody would launch an attack on a Catholic church building in order to get him out.
	So I said, well, we got to get him out of there.
	What can we do?
	And I suggested that we deploy the first All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion, which essentially was a battalion of combat ready women.
	Just led by Molly Yard.
	And and and represent members of the now gang just charging the place.
	Now I spent a lot of time building this up and developing it, but point is uh this is by no means the first time something like this is coming.
	If you missed earlier in the program, People magazine has a story about a Harvard graduate who ran in the London marathon over the weekend while on her period without a tampon or other feminine device, and it's called free bleeding.
	And she did this in solidarity with all the sisters.
	It's a quote, all the sisters who do not have access to tampons, implying that they're and and plus because tampons and so forth, a male invention, they are a form of female oppression.
	And so she ran a four-hour plus marathon while during that time of the month, in solidarity with the sisters, quote unquote, who do not have access to tampons, as though there's some discrimination taking place.
	It's nature, it's natural.
	Why should we allow men to get away with not having to see what nature dictates is going to happen?
	It's real.
	We go to Fort Collins, Colorado.
	Hi, Pat.
	Great to have you with us on the EIB network.
	Hi.
	Thank you so much for taking my call, Rush.
	I just had a two questions that have kind of mulled over my mind over the weekend, and I hadn't heard anything about them, so I thought I'd come to you and find out the the answers.
	One was um the the details of the whole Bill Clinton Donald Trump phone call that supposedly took place.
	It seemed like the news of that came and went and was never, you know, nothing ever was talked much much more about it.
	And then the second thing was on Saturday morning, something flashed over my tablet that said that Donald Trump had fired his campaign consultant, and nobody's talked about that either.
	And my question was he if he's doing so well, and if all these things are going so great for him, what's actually going on?
	And during listening to your show, the only other thought that came to my mind was are we in the process of totally uh giving a new definition to the term trumped up.
	Why don't you just tell us what you really think out there, Pat?
	I don't know.
	No, that's why I'm calling you.
	I'm like, okay, these stories came and went, and then they were gone, and nothing ever happened.
	So let me I was just curious about them.
	Let me explain the best I can here.
	I think the news that Clinton had called Trump was planted prior to the debate so that it might end up being used as a question to embarrass Trump.
	The only person the only person in either debate to reference it was Carly Fiorina, and she made a joke about it in her opening statement.
	Right.
	Right.
	She asked anybody else if they had received a call from Bill Clinton.
	Uh nothing more came of it because I think it was designed to come up during the debate to be asked of Trump.
	They never got to it, and so it just went away.
	I think I think had it come up, the answer to it would have been, you know, Bill Clinton calls everybody.
	Bill Clinton probably called Jeb.
	Bill Clinton's uh the brother the Bush has never had.
	Bill Clinton is loved and adored by the Bush family, and there's constant back and forth conversation.
	This story was that Clinton called Trump and said the conservative movement needs some energy.
	They need you in the campaign, and it was I it was obviously designed to embarrass Trump, should it be asked, but I think it was designed specifically for the debate, and it didn't happen, so it went away.
	The campaign manager that quit, I can't remember why, or that was fired.
	Uh are you about Roger Stone?
	Yes, I think that's the gentleman.
	Roger Stone.
	Uh well, this is this this is two sides to this one too.
	Uh Roger Stone, Roger Stone, is a well known Republican consultant and flamethrower from way back.
	He was formerly married to a woman named Ann Stone, who used to head up Republican women for choice.
	Way back in the early nineties, sh it was his wife who was leading the movement to get the Republican Party to drop abortion from the platform.
	Now they're since divorced.
	Um and he was he he was uh uh this is I'm I'm going back now to the eighties and so forth, and when Roger Ailes was Bush's campaign consultant, one of Roger Stone was always trying to uh secure a top candidate for his similar kind of services.
	The fact that he was working for Trump was unknown to me, but he resigned.
	He claimed he resigned over Trump's comment about Megan Kelly, and Trump claims he fired him.
	Okay.
	And so I take your pick.
	It's six and what have to I don't know what is the truth about that one.
	Okay.
	But but Roger Stone plays hardball.
	Roger Stone is in it uh for when they say politics is a blood sport, I don't mean to be making a pun here.
	But Roger Stone is a tough, tough competitor.
	He's he's uh uh he has worked a lot for New York uh gubernatorial candidates, Republican candidates, and he's he's uh he's a flamethrower.
	He's tough as nails.
	Sure.
	Sure.
	Okay.
	Well those that that's the best I've heard from anybody anywhere I've been able to look at those two things.
	Well, do you think it you think that Roger Stone quitting or being fired should mean something and the fact that not a much news is made of it is interesting.
	I didn't cure I didn't know, and I didn't know, but you know, it uh to me it seemed odd that you would have someone who is supposedly rising so much m or staying where they were in quote unquote the polls.
	Usually that's not when somebody fires somebody.
	You know, usually if things are going well and you're going up in the polls, even if it's a point or two, you must be doing something right.
	And so I just I just found it sort of odd.
	And uh my my joking comment to you about being trumped up, you know, there's been an I guess there's just been an element of all of this that I sort of feel like there's a lot of that going on.
	Well you know, trumping up of things, whether whether it's about Donald's per se or whether it's about Fox News being on the right or on the wrong.
	It just seems like there's so many mountains being made out of so many mountains.
	Oh, it's because it's all new.
	It's because I'm telling you people haven't seen anything like this before.
	Yeah.
	And Trump fires people left and right.
	He's got a TV show based on fire.
	Sure, sure, sure.
	So, you know, to me that kind of that sort of went along with what he does, you know, but I like I said, I didn't really know if it meant anything, and I hadn't seen any other news about it, so I thought I'd call you and find out what what the going it doesn't mean anything.
	The bottom line neither neither both were intended if they were gonna have any impact at all, to have momentary instant impact, and if they didn't, they were going to just fade away.
	Sure.
	And that must be what they're doing.
	I think I think the real news is the I all of this, the oddest thing to me is that Bill Clinton did not call Carly Fiorina.
	I mean, she's the woman in the race.
	Here's uh Steven Greenville, North Carolina.
	Welcome, sir.
	It's great to have you on the EIB network.
	Hi.
	Good afternoon, Rush.
	Uh I just wanted to talk about the uh Donald Trump, Megan Kelly uh situation.
	And it's been said before, I know, but um this is all about hardcore honesty.
	Uh we all grew up in times where we all knew a person that no matter how salty their delivery or how tough they put it into words, you knew that they were telling you straight up what the deal was.
	Now he may not be the most articulate speaker in the world, but when he's addressing things that these other politicians are not, which are basically professional bald faced liars, um, it's very, very uh refreshing to the public out there.
	They want to hear the truth.
	Um Megan Kelly, um, with with this menstruation flap and everything, i you know, a lot of the times the things that they come up with as far as defense or or attacks is i I've I've found that 99% of the time a left winger will always say what they would do or what they're guilty of or what's on their mind.
	They make an accusation against somebody when they themselves are guilty of it.
	So they have a habit of turning this all around and making an accusation to someone that is not guilty of it, but it is something that they would do, or the person that makes the accusation.
	That is a well-known practice among journalists on the left, especially.
	Yes, you're right about that.
	Yeah, so I mean, uh, I think that obviously Donald Trump is gonna have to make some uh adjustments, you know.
	He's gonna have to, you know, you know, grow as the process goes along.
	But the pro but the public wants to hear the truth, and uh so far he's addressing the uh the issues that nobody else wants to touch.
	They want to just gloss it all over and uh move on.
	Well, is your point that that you know all these journalists out there, many of them um they they they make these charges against people or raise these charges uh and in fact they're guilty of of maybe even worse stuff themselves.
	Yes, sir.
	Yes, sir, and and it's not just the it's not just the the journalists, it's it's it's the the politicians and the operatives.
	When they come out with these hits like the menstruation thing, uh when I think that most people knew what he meant by blood in the eye, I mean that's a very common word.
	Well, no, well, wait a second.
	Nobody did nobody came out of anything other than Trump.
	Trump's the one that said it that the the uh the application of the menstrual cycle meaning was you're right attached by others, but but not by Megan Kelly.
	I mean, it was just others who who assumed that that's what he meant.
	When he later said that he didn't mean that at all, and anybody thinks that's a deviant uh and and so forth.
	I think one of the factors happening here.
	Gee, I'm out of time.
	I may have to say this, but I think there's a lot of people in journalism, not naming names here, who actually think of themselves as personalities and celebrities themselves.
	Uh and maybe even want to be, uh, which is one of the reasons why there's a uh uh indistinct line of separation between the newsmaker and the reporter anymore.
	But anyway, I take a break here, folks, we'll be back in just a second.
	Well, another great great kickoff, a great start to another busy broadcast week, my friends.
	Great to have you with us as always.
	Thank you so much.
	And we'll see you back here in 21 hours.
