Time Text
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 assigned host duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address, lrushbo at EIBnet.com.
You look, there are a couple of three things I've 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 has 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 industry?
What's the business about it?
One of the most, I don't know what you'd say, one 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 policymaking 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, I would have spent significant time on it, but I'm going to hold it over for the next time it is relevant.
But here are the two soundbites I promised mere moments ago.
Both these go back to Friday.
YouTube channel called The Viewers View.
The hosts are Lynette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson.
They are, 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 the ones spoke out against Donald and Donald had to come back on her.
So I don't know why you're going to make this here a part of your forum last night.
You know, perhaps you don't need to be hosting debates.
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.
Trust Sesame Street.
Maybe you should go back and report news for Sesame Street and debate with them.
I'll re-run it.
What it went by too fast?
You weren't able, you couldn't keep up with that?
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.
Kelly Megan, whatever your name is, Rosie O'Donnell started this whole foolishness.
And Rochelle Richardson, yeah, Hardaway.
She was on the view.
Yeah.
And she the one spoke out against Donald, and Donald had to come back on it.
He had to.
So I don't know why.
Make this here, yeah, a part of your forum last night.
Yeah.
You know, perhaps you don't need to be hosting debates.
Perhaps.
Perhaps what you need to do is for us to file Kelly and make her go back to reporting news.
Yeah.
Okay, now that's a little bit of it.
Here's the whole thing in its entirety now.
Kelly Megan, whatever your name is, Rosie O'Donnell started that whole foolishness.
She was on a view and she the ones spoke out against Donald and Donald had to come back on her.
So I don't know why you gonna make this here a part of your forum last night.
You know, perhaps you don't need to be hosting debates.
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.
Trust Sesame Street.
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.
Tell 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 Fowl or Kelly Fowle, whatever it is.
Maybe it's time for her to file out.
Follow?
Fall out.
Go report the news for Sesame Street.
I would love to see you sitting up there with Carbin and Miss Piggy.
Okay?
And you know what, Kelly?
They already say you look like a tab Lord Barbie doll.
A tab Lloyd Barbie.
That's what they said.
You know what?
I wonder which tabloid is she working for.
Who is trying to push you to destroy Donald Trump?
All right.
Who is it?
Who is it?
We got to get on top of who it is.
Yeah.
That's he, she's trying, that's God for her to make her destroy Donald Trump.
All right.
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 Megan, whatever her name is.
Leave Donald Trump alone.
Leave Donald Trump.
Leave him alone.
Period.
Bye.
So there you have it.
The hosts Lynette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson on the Viewers View YouTube channel speaking about Thursday's Republican presidential debate.
Now, we will link to both those at rushlimbo.com so that you can see the video that accompanies that audio.
Now, back to the audio soundbites.
You're going to go back to the Today Show today.
This Savannah Guthrie is interviewing Trump, and they're talking about his comments about Megan Kelly.
And this follows F. Chuck Todd on the Today Show asking Donald, why can't you just apologize?
Man, hey, just be done with it.
Just say you're sorry.
And he's not going to do that, by the way.
He's not.
I'll tell you, the reason he's not going to 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 cycle, that would be inappropriate.
It would be classless and juvenile and over the line, right?
It's appropriate, but I didn't do that.
First of all, look, 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 inappropriate.
I went to the best schools.
I'm too smart to make a reference about periods about Megan Kelly.
Just too smart.
I got the best grades, best schools, built an empire.
I wouldn't do it.
So another journalist shows up at the OK Corral with Trump and walks away with an empty cylinder.
Here's Carly Fee Arena.
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 Fee Arena says, Are you offended by Trump personally attacking Megan 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 is what it is.
I mean, people are going to.
There's no doubt there are a bunch of stereotypes associated 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 by Jeb Bush, who by the way, if you're just joining us, I should maybe remind you that there have been 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 is following all this dust-up that happened on Thursday night, Trump went up a point, 22 to 23%.
The big news in this poll, Ted Cruz in second place to 13%.
He's up 7%.
Ben Carson was up 3% to 11%.
And Carly Fi Arena had the biggest jump.
She went up from 2% to 8%.
That's a 6% increase.
Well, a 6-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 12%.
Jeb Bush at 11, Carly Fi Arena at 10, which is way up for her.
Cruz was flat at 9%.
So in two polls since this dust-up, Trump is either flat or up, a point.
But others who did well, by the way, in that debate, Carly did great in her 5 o'clock debate, 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 of 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, 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.
I had 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 Palmieri 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 he didn't want her there for her company.
Palmerie 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.
Did you know that Nurse Ratchet had feelings?
By the way, you know, Dawn just reminded me of something.
I, and this is true.
In fact, I was not only getting in trouble for this, I was heralded.
Remember the All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion?
You people that have not been the lifers 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, his nickname was Pineapple Face because it 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 running drugs.
That's 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 embarrassed, but 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 phase of issue discussion.
So I came up with a way, we found out that Noriega was hiding, found out where he was.
Panama, he 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've 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 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, this is by no means the first time something like this has come.
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 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 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 answers.
One was 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 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: 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 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, stories came and went, and then they were gone, and nothing ever happened.
So 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.
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 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 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 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.
Now, the campaign manager that quit, I can't remember why, was fired.
Are you about Roger Stone?
Yes, I think that's the gentleman.
Roger Stone.
Well, this is two sides to this one, too.
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 90s, 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, and he was I'm going back now to the 80s and so forth.
And when Roger Ailes was Bush's campaign consultant, one of them, Roger Stone was always trying to 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 take your pick.
It's six and one have to.
I don't know what is the truth about that one.
Okay.
But Roger Stone plays hardball.
Roger Stone is in it for when they say politics is a blood sport.
I don't mean to be making a pun here.
Roger Stone, he's a tough, tough competitor.
He has worked a lot for New York gubernatorial candidates, Republican candidates, and he's a flamethrower.
He's tough as nails.
Sure.
Sure.
Okay.
Well, that's the best I've heard from anybody anywhere I've been able to look at those two things.
Well, do you think you think that Roger Stone quitting or being fired should mean something?
And the fact that not a lot news is made of it is interesting.
I didn't know.
And I didn't know.
But, you know, to me, it seemed odd that you would have someone who was supposedly rising so much 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 found it sort of odd.
And my joking comment to you about being trumped up, you know, there's been, 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 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 money.
No, it's because it's all new.
It's because I'm telling you, people haven't seen anything like this before.
And Trump fires people left and right.
He's got a TV show based on firing.
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 the going.
It doesn't.
Neither, neither mean anything.
The bottom line, neither.
Neither.
Both were intended, if they were going to 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 were doing.
I think the real news is 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 Stephen, Greenville, North Carolina.
Welcome, sir.
It's great to have you on the EIB Network.
Hike.
Good afternoon, Rush.
I just wanted to talk about the Donald Trump, Megan Kelly situation.
And it's been said before, I know, but this is all about hardcore honesty.
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, it's very, very refreshing to the public out there.
They want to hear the truth.
Megan Kelly, With this menstruation flap and everything, you know, a lot of the times the things that they come up with as far as defense or attacks is 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.
You know, so, I mean, I think that obviously Donald Trump is going to have to make some adjustments.
You know, he's going to have to, you know, grow as the process goes along.
But the public wants to hear the truth.
And so far, he's addressing the issues that nobody else wants to touch.
They want to just gloss it all over and move on.
Well, is your point that all these journalists out there, many of them, they make these charges against people or raise these charges.
And in fact, they're guilty of maybe even worse stuff themselves.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
And it's not just the journalists.
It's the politicians and the operatives.
When they come out with these hits, like the menstruation thing, when I think that most people knew what he meant by blood in the eye, I mean, that's a very common word.
Well, now, wait a second.
Nobody came out of anything other than Trump.
Trump's the one that said that the application of the menstrual cycle meaning was, you're right, attached by others, but not by Megan Kelly.
I mean, it was just others who assumed that that's what he meant when he later said that he didn't mean that at all.
Anybody thinks that's a deviant 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.
And maybe even want to be, which is one of the reasons why there's an 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.
