Time Text
And we are back.
It's great to have you with us, my friends.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the most listened to radio talk show across a fruited plane.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address, LRushbo at EIBNet.com.
Yeah, Hillary Clinton's female disapproval numbers are unfavorable sky high.
I mean, they're so close to Trump, you can't even tell the difference.
And she's only gotten positive media coverage.
And we're being told that Hillary's inevitable, despite her unfavorables.
But then you go to Trump or Cruz or anybody else on the Republican side.
By the way, Cruz.
You know, I watched the town hall meetings last night on Fox.
I just feel so sorry for Greta.
She drew a Kasich in these things.
But Cruz was excellent last night.
Cruz was conversational.
He had some of the best answers you would possibly want to hear on the question of abortion.
Some woman stood up and basically said she was afraid.
I'm afraid of you, Senator Cruz.
I'm afraid you want to make abortion illegal and put me in jail or some such thing.
He just had a perfect answer for it.
And Scott Walker came on the last 20 minutes.
It was Megan Kelly that did that hour.
And then Hannity did Trump an hour later, who went out with Melania.
And I'm sure part of that is to blunt this unfavorable number with women that Trump has.
But the disparities here are striking, and they've always existed, and they always will.
And that's why I just, I think that if the unfavorables for Hillary aren't going to matter because they've got it wired for her, despite the fact that Bernie keeps winning states, the Democrats, they've got more problems than they know.
And they probably do know the problems they have.
They have just a dead campaign going.
Hillary Clinton doesn't excite anybody.
The only excitement in that campaign is Bernie Sanders.
And Bernie's supporters are starting to get the idea that no matter how well he does, no matter how much money he raises, that none of it's going to matter, that Hillary's going to be the pick.
They're starting to figure out here that they don't have a voice in the Democrat Party.
And everybody's talking about, well, you know, if Trump doesn't get the nomination, if a GOP steals it from Trump, his voters are going to just go away.
What about crazy Bernie's voters?
You think they're just going to snap to and say, okay, yeah, well, our guy lost in a fair fight.
We appreciate the Democrat Party ran a fair fight.
We gave Bernie every chance.
You think they're just going to gut it up and join forces with Hillary?
The odds are that they will.
That's what everybody thinks, because their common enemy, us, is what will unite them.
But I'll tell you, there's some people on the Democrat side just as ticked off at the establishment for their own reasons as there are on the Republican side.
But in the coverage here, you never have any of the similarities.
You know, they love to harp on whatever unfavorables Cruz has.
You know, whatever polling data negatives there are about Cruz.
Oh, man, Otoma Cruz, he might be able to win the nomination, but he's never going to be elected.
It can't be.
He's this, he's that.
And they say the same thing about Trump.
And the thing is, somebody's going to win it.
And I think it's going to be one of those two guys, unless the establishment pulls a rabbit out of their hat, which they're going to try to do.
Make no mistake about it.
Look, a couple things besides this going on.
I want to touch on these.
These things keep piling up.
I got a stack of things over here that were the campaign not going on would have been this radio show.
I mean, there's all kinds of really important news items out there, things, events taking place that are being overwhelmed and subordinated by the campaign.
Try this one.
This was USA Today yesterday.
In telling you this, I want to ask you to remember something that you know for a fact.
You know that weather forecasts beyond a couple of three days, dicey.
You know, how many of you have something planned for Saturday?
So you go to a website that does 10-day forecasts.
And so you look 10 days out.
What is the weather going to be on the big day you've got coming up Saturday?
And 10 days out, it tells you it's going to be sunny and 80.
You don't believe it.
You want to, but you check every day.
You don't go to the bank on it.
You check every day.
With nine days left, you check it.
Eight days left, you check it.
And how many times when you check it, it changes?
How many times has a 10-day forecast told you 80 and sunny and it ends up cloudy in 65 or rainy and 75?
Nothing like 10 days said.
It happens all the time because they don't know.
They can't predict accurately that far out.
Sometimes they get close.
This is not a hit on them, by the way.
I'm just reciting reality.
There's too many things about weather and climate that can't be known that are unpredictable that make it, at best, an educated, wild guess circumstance, unless you're talking about 24 hours.
24 hours, they can get close.
Beyond that, you check.
How many of you check every 12 hours to make sure the forecast is the same it was the last time you looked at it when you got something going on?
You don't?
I do.
If I've got a golf trip somewhere and the weather, depending on time of year, could be dying.
I check the forecast every day to make sure if it's going to be good or bad.
I want to make sure it's going to be okay.
A lot of people do.
Okay, anyway, having established that, headline USA Today, yesterday.
Summer of 2030 heat wave could kill 11,000 people, White House says.
The White House yesterday predicted a heat wave 14 years from now in the summer that will kill 11,000 people.
Extreme temperatures linked to climate change, of course, could cause an additional 11,000 heat-related deaths in the U.S. in the summer of 2030, according to a report, not a forecast, a report released by the regime.
So global warming is already going to kill X numbers of people in 2030, but now we add 11,000 to it yesterday because the White House has said the heat wave 14 years from now is going to be outrageous.
That's just the most obvious of many health effects of climate change outlined in the regime report, part of a year-old effort with the White House to highlight the immediate effects of rising global temperatures.
Immediate.
14 years.
Ragweed pollen season is now as many as 27 days longer than it was in 1995, leading to more asthma episodes in children and wildfires and increasing ozone levels could also lead to respiratory problems.
Incidents of mosquito and tick bore.
What do you mean?
I thought Bill Gates and his wife fixed all that.
That's another thing.
Bill and Melinda Malaria Gates, haven't they wiped all that out with their nets and stuff?
And what about Tesla and Elon Musk and all the electric car?
Why is all this going to happen with all the progress we're making?
Oh, and have you read the latest about the CHICOMs and wind farms?
They are getting rid of it.
The CHICOMs are getting rid of windmills and wind farms.
You know why?
Because it costs more to build the windmills and operate them than the energy it produces.
Oh, and have you heard about the New England town that voted for windmills so they could get clean energy and wind power?
And then when they found out that they were going to be able to see them, they revolted and demanded the windmills be built somewhere other than on the coast.
They didn't want to have to go to the beach and be able to see the windmill.
It might have been North Carolina.
So yeah, everybody wants all this clean energy, but they don't want to see it as in the windmills.
And they certainly don't want to hear it, the noise they make.
And they don't want to watch the birds get murdered by the blades of the windmills.
All of this wind and solar is an advantage.
It's a farce, not to mention a corporate fraud, a corporate government cronyism fraud.
Here you go.
Chikoms stop building wind turbines because most of the energy is wasted.
The Chikom government, and by the way, these are people not burdened by a bunch of left-wing agitating protesters.
They're not burdened by greenpeace.
They're not burdened by a bunch of left-wing harassing little protest groups.
The Chikoms, neither is Vladimir Putin.
Putin will just hit you with some gasified fentanyl and you'll die if you object to him too much.
The Chikom government isn't building any new wind turbines because most of the new electricity created was wasted, causing serious damage to their electric grid.
Yes, so they fell for it.
That sounds good, they said.
Built it.
It's a total abomination.
And remember, the Chikoms can do this because, as I say, it's important to realize Chinese and other communist governments don't have all these little protest groups running around gumming up the works, everybody.
They can actually make decisions based on whatever they determine the major points of interest are.
And then there is this.
If you thought that it was outrageous when I just informed you moments ago that property owners, landlords will now be required to rent rooms to criminals.
Right now, landlords don't have to, but the Housing and Urban Development, the regime, is proposing rules changes requiring landlords to rent to ex-cons and people with a criminal record on the basis of racism.
Yes, the U.S. justice system is so racially imbalanced that, in order to pay reparations, make amends, to say we're sorry, criminals will now be allowed to rent rooms and landlords must do it.
If they don't, what do you think is going to happen?
The regime will take their property.
That's what I think.
I think this is actually a scheme to be able to seize property under some bastardized interpretation of the law.
Okay, knowing that 16 Democrat attorneys general begin inquisition against climate change disbelievers.
This is Hans von Spakovsky writing in the Daily Signal: A coalition of 17 inquisitors are calling themselves Attorney Generals United for clean power.
The coalition consists of 15 state attorneys general: California, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia, Vermont, Washington State, as well as the Attorneys General of District Columbia and the Virgin Islands.
16 of the 17 members are Democrats.
The Attorney General of Virgin Islands is an independent.
The inquisitors are threatening legal action and huge fines against anyone who declines to believe in an unproven scientific theory.
These attorneys general at these 15 states, these Democrats, by treating one set of scientific opinion as absolute and infallible and above critique,
will now seek to fine and potentially imprison people who disagree with the left wing's version of climate change.
This is why whatever is happening in the Republican Party pales in comparison to what needs to happen to the Democrat Party.
These attorneys general need to be shut down.
The Democrat Party needs to be defeated in every election possible, starting with the White House this November.
Whoever the Democrat nominee is, this is who they are.
Making you rent rooms to criminals because your country's criminal judicial system is racially imbalanced.
Being able to conduct inquisitions against other scientists and average citizens who disagree with their flawed premise of global warming and being able to punish them, fine them, maybe put them in jail for a simple disagreement of opinion tells us exactly who the left is and how they are flexing their muscles and
how successful and confident they are they can pull all of this off.
The attorney general in New York is a guy named Schneiderman, I think it's Eric Schneiderman, mentioned all this at a press conference.
Al Gore is part of this group.
They don't care about the First Amendment.
They don't care about science.
They don't care about the Constitution.
The Attorney General for the state of New York is trying to shut down fan duel and draft kings and all that and protect everybody from the horrors of life.
Schneiderman claimed that climate change dissenters are committing fraud, and because they're committing fraud, they're not protected by the First Amendment.
This comes on top of the Attorney General, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, admitting that the Justice Department is discussing the possibility of pursuing civil rights actions against climate change deniers.
So essentially what they're setting up here is that if you are a climate change denier, you are an equivalent member of the SS or of the Gestapo.
And we didn't stop them in World War II.
We didn't stop the Gestapo.
We didn't stop Hitler soon enough.
We're going to stop you this time.
We're not going to let you get away with what you have done.
All of this is happening as the climate change movement is dwindling and fading away.
More and more Americans put it near the bottom of issues they care about.
More and more Americans don't buy into this phony science in the first place.
More and more Americans have come to see that it isn't happening and it isn't true.
And that's why the panic from the climate change side, they're losing the argument.
They can't lose.
There's too much money tied up in this, too much political power waiting to be gained.
And so they never lose, even if they have to penalize opponents and fine them into acquiescence or jail them into that's the modern Democrat Party.
That's who they are.
They are the ones who are the destructive force.
They are the ones that pose a great problem to our country.
And anybody on the Republican side who wants to maintain that they're perfectly fine with Hillary Clinton being elected, well, it's going to be very tough to defend them when the left makes a move on him.
It's just it's irresponsible as anything in a campaign I can recall.
Back after this.
We go back to the phones as I've got lots I want to squeeze in here before we have to finish today.
This is Jody in Long Island.
Great to have you on the program, Jody.
Hi.
It's a great honor speaking with you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
You've got to take my father off the floor if he hears my voice on the radio.
I know the three of the thrill of the music.
Yes, I do.
What I was calling about was that the people, well, Hillary Clinton is in New York now, and she came here and she's patting Pius II on the back about the minimum wage increase.
And I wanted, whoever doesn't, is not aware of New York, that it's going to destroy us.
And when she gets, if she should get into office, that's what's going to happen.
She does not care about anybody else but herself and her and her, whatever you want to call them.
By Pius II.
Are you referring to the governor Andrew Cuomo?
Yes, I am.
The son of Mario the Pious.
Yes, she's the gift that keeps on giving.
So he and she was there, and well, she just showed up in New York, what, about eight years ago, and everyone said she'll never get elected.
And sure, you know, she did.
And no one, and it's like, okay, you got to be kidding.
She wasn't there long, and she went and did the whatever.
And it's just, she is a joke in my eyes.
And people who are evangelicals, I understand their values and everything, but we need someone that's going to beat her.
And the only one that I feel strongly enough is Trump because he can put her right in her place and wipe the floor with her.
Whoever it is, whoever it is, needs to beat Hillary.
By the way, this $15 an hour minimum wage, Jerry Moonbeam Brown in California has admitted that it is not any good, but he's going to do it anyway because it's liberal orthodoxy.
And Andrew Cuomo is going to do it because it's liberal orthodoxy.
It's another one of these things.
They think the minimum wage is going to go up 15 bucks and everybody making it, whatever it is now, is going to make 15 bucks.
It's not what's going to happen.
Employers are going to have to fire people.
There is not a pile of unused money at small businesses that the owners are hoarding or buying yachts with instead of paying a fair wage.
They're going to have to lay people off.
It causes job loss.
But I'll tell you what it also does.
It's a magnet for more illegal immigration.
$15 an hour, they say.
Oh, wow.
And the floodgates open even wider.
Thanks for the call, Jodi.
We have more.
No, it's fraud.
It's not mistaken science.
These people, the Obama administration warning that a heat wave 14 years from now will kill an additional 11,000 people, that's fraud, folks.
They get away with it.
The Democrat Party gets away with fraud after fraud after fraud.
If the things the Democrat Party does and say were open to allegation in civil court, they would be broke.
It is just stunning they get to say something like a heat wave in the summer 14 years now from now that's going to kill 11,000 people, all to push a fraudulent climate change notion that isn't happening.
I mean, the more I think about that, the more agitated and angry I get.
And especially, you know, each time I hear, and it's a lot of times, and you do too.
You heard elected Republicans saying it.
There are certain conservative groups made up of media members and bloggers who are saying that they would just soon have Hillary as Trump.
And then they're trying to make it look like they're for Cruz when that's just not their primary thing.
They're just anti-Trump.
I mean, anybody, anybody who would knowingly do anything that helps this bunch of people stay in power need to seriously have their heads examined.
That just borders on irresponsibility like I haven't seen it in a long time.
And it tells me how personally people are taking all this.
Taking it personally that people support Trump.
Taking it personally that people don't support Trump.
Taking it personally that people support Cruz.
Taking it personally that people don't support Cruz?
As though just because you have a blog or just because you have a column or just because you have a guest appearance on Fox that you ought to be able to convince everybody to agree with you.
And then when they don't, you get mad at them and say, okay, fine.
Well, if it takes it, I'm going to support Hillary if you don't see it my way.
What is that?
But there's a lot of it going on out there.
And it's on the Democrat side to make sense.
I don't hear any Bernie supporters saying, you know what?
I would vote for Trump.
I don't hear any Bernie supporters saying, you know what?
If I don't get my way, I'm voting Cruz.
I don't hear any of that on their side.
They may be saying it.
Somebody may be able to show me where some wacko Democrats tweeted it or something, but I haven't seen it.
Not nearly.
I mean, I see it as a badge of honor from people on our side.
The more you learn about who these people are, we already know it.
We don't need to learn anymore about who Hillary Clinton is.
Anybody who wants four more years of the last seven years has got to be in this for themselves while trying to make it look like that's the last thing they care about.
This is just people saying, you know, we're in a crisis here.
We're about to lose the country.
Then how in the name of anything can you actually admit that you would vote Hillary Clinton?
Because Trump is dead.
Trump will destroy the Republican Party.
You think Hillary Clinton being elected won't destroy the Republican Party?
Hey, I got news.
The Republican Party's already undergoing a major transformation.
This would be the time to move in and try to take it over if that's what you want to do.
Back to the audio soundbites for just a second here.
We're up to soundbite number four.
This is Trump in La Crosse, Wisconsin, yesterday analyzing the Wisconsin primary.
If we do well here, folks, it's over.
If we don't, if we don't, if we don't win here, it's not over.
But wouldn't you like to take the credit in Wisconsin for ending it?
Give Wisconsin the credit for ending it.
And then we can focus on Hillary instead of these two guys.
Latest polling data, I think the ones that everybody pays attention to is that Cruz is up 4.5, 4.6.
There's a couple polls that have Cruz up 10.
An ARG poll that most people are laughing at came out yesterday has Trump up 10.
But nobody knows.
I take it.
Kelly Ann Conway, take that back.
I watched her.
She was on, I think it was CNN this morning.
Kelly Ann Conway.
She works for Cruz, not that that matters, but she's a great pollster.
And she predicted when the subject of Trump winning Wisconsin came up.
No, no, no, no, no, no, she said that Cruz is going to win this and he's going to get to 40%.
So they're pretty confident on the Cruz side that the polling data in their favor is right.
Here is Joe Trippy, Democrat analyst on Fox and Friends this morning, being asked if he thinks Trump is right, that if he wins Wisconsin, it's over.
I would say that's true.
If he wins, it's very tough to see how Cruz has any argument to go on.
Look, with what the establishment's thrown at him and what Cruz has going for him, popular Governor Walker, the organization that he has, plus, you know, demographics aren't the best for Trump in a state like Wisconsin.
Steve Docey then said, Carl Rove, do you agree with Joe's analysis of Trump's analysis that if Trump wins Wisconsin, it's over?
I do, because he agreed with Trump.
I think Trump's right.
If he wins Wisconsin, the contest is over.
Trump has done slightly better in states where there is an open primary where independents and Democrats can come in and vote.
This state is one where he should be able manufacturing state, blue-collar state.
He spent a lot of time there.
If he wins, it's over.
If he loses, this is going to be a tougher contest.
Right.
So if Trump wins, I'll tell you something else going to.
You cruisers have better be on the lookout for this.
You may want to poo-poo this when you hear me say it, but I think if Trump does win tonight, you're going to be faced with a bunch of people from all over the spectrum.
I don't know, not naming names here.
Cruising it out is what you're going to hear.
Cruising it out.
He can't win now.
It's mathematically impossible.
Cruz can't win.
Need to get out, need to unify.
There's going to be pressure brought.
I don't think Cruz are going to react to it.
I just want to tell you, it's going to come.
It's going to offend you.
It's going to make you mad.
Strategy all along here is take this to a contested convention because Cruz believes no matter what, it's either him or Trump that are going to be chosen.
One of those two is going to win the nomination.
And he's already working the delegates for the second ballot in a contested convention.
Maybe, not maybe, is doing a much more organizational job, better job than Trump is of getting great relationships going with delegates for that second ballot.
If nobody wins on the first, back right after this, folks.
Here's Rina.
I'm pronouncing it right, I hope, in Orlando.
Great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking my call.
I'm nervous.
I came from India, and I lived in England, and I moved here 30 years ago.
And I stumbled on your radio station about 15 years ago by mistake.
And since then, my life has changed.
I've become conservative.
I've become Republican.
I voted Republican state ticket all this time.
Last four years, I'm so disgusted with the Republican establishment.
they have given us 19 trillion dollars in debt they have um well they've helped they They've helped.
They haven't stopped.
They didn't do anything.
They didn't stop anything.
Our military has been decimated.
The police and CIA has been demoralized.
There are rules and regulations on businesses which are destroying businesses, small businesses.
They have not done anything.
So I believe Donald Trump is the only person who I believe is strong enough to take care of the destruction which has been done.
Now, the reason I believe that he is a strong person, because he reminds me of you.
I compare him to you.
The way the media tried to take you out and this administration tried to take you out.
But it is because of your strength that the rest of the media is still surviving.
And second, I believe that Trump is the doer.
He's a business person.
He has created jobs.
He knows how to take care of the things.
He is not a debater.
He is not a politician.
He doesn't debate, debate, debate.
Because in business, I'm a business person.
We do things and we take care of things and we move on.
Okay, look, look, look, I appreciate all of that.
And you're part of a large group of people that support Trump.
You bring an international perspective to this and quite an ingrained understanding of American politics.
I appreciate it.
I'm just out of time here.
Rena, if I go on, I'm going to be caught short and I can't do it because this break here doesn't float.
It's solid.
Well, it's hard, as they call it.
What's Trump lingo?
Back after this.
Hey, I just saw this.
You may have heard this already.
The FBI director James Comey, who is ostensibly going to interview Mrs. Clinton on this email scandal, James Comey just said, hey, there's no rush here.
We don't have to finish this investigation before the Democrat convention.
Now, there are two ways of taking that.
And if I'm the Democrats, I got to be a little concerned about what the hey, you know what?
