RUSH: Have you heard about the second blackout in two days that has hit India? Six-hundred and seventy million people are now in the dark. The population of this country is 1.2 billion. So 670 million people in the dark in India. Boy, you know Obama\u2019s gotta be green with envy over this. Obama, he wants as many people in this country to be in the dark as he can arrange. That\u2019s his whole reelection strategy, keep as many people in the dark as possible. Seriously. India has lost half of its power grid. <\/p>\n

Stick with me on this. “What do we care about India, Rush? We\u2019re about to lose America.” Hang on. Trains are stuck in tunnels. Miners are stuck in mine shafts. Imagine that, now. Hospitals are without any power. Speaking of, just last week, tens of thousands of ChiCom citizens drowned in Beijing and other cities simply because it rained hard and washed away some cheaply built homes and bridges. India and China are the two countries that Obama and other Democrats like Elizabeth Warren are always citing as models for their infrastructure. <\/line><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These are the countries that we have to be more like. Elizabeth Warren is running a commercial<\/a>, a TV ad in Massachusetts, urging citizens there to elect her to the Senate, claiming that this country needs to be more like communist China. This is not an ad running in San Francisco. This is an ad running in the whole state of Massachusetts, and she\u2019s in the race. She\u2019s tight. She\u2019s close. She could win this. And she\u2019s running an ad encouraging the citizens of Massachusetts to elect her because she wants this country to be more like the communist Chinese. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is interesting. I like this. I got an e-mail during the break. I always check for reaction in the break, the e-mail. Somebody said, “Well, why did the power fail in India? You didn\u2019t tell us that.” It\u2019s a good point. It is an excellent point. Our Official Climatologist here at the EIB Network, Dr. Roy Spencer<\/a>, University of Alabama at Huntsville, points out that one-tenth of humanity is now without electricity. Six-hundred and seventy million people in India, one-tenth of humanity. Why? Because India decided to reduce the role of coal in electricity production. <\/p>\n

They closed some coal mines. They drank the Kool-Aid on the fact that coal causes global warming, that coal is a polluting thing, that coal is dirty and disgusting and poisonous. This is what Obama wants to accomplish. This is what Obama wants. He wants to put the domestic coal business out of business. The Indian government went all-in on that — well, not all-in, but close, and so they reduced the role of coal in electricity production, and they don\u2019t have any electricity. One-tenth of humanity without electricity. There are lessons to learn here, folks.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Kathy on the freeway in Illinois. Great to have you on the program, Kath. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush, it\u2019s an honor to speak with you. Thanks so much for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet, madam.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Now, I heard you mention the enormous power outage in India at the top of the show.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Six-hundred and seventy million people without electricity.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s a lot of people, yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s one-tenth of all humanity.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Wow. That makes it seem even larger. Now, you also mentioned that India is often held up as a country that the US should imitate.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: No. I said Obama and Elizabeth Warren tell us that we need to imitate and be more like China and India infrastructure-wise, that they are the countries that are setting the trends.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I just find that to be completely outrageous. I\u2019ve actually been to India and seen the infrastructure myself, seen the extreme poverty that is there, and I can\u2019t believe that any liberal would want to hold that up as an example of what we should do, especially considering the state of many people there —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you this, Kathy, if American liberals were thinking, what they would do is declare today to be Earth Day and celebrate the Indian blackout. I mean what do they do? They have a day every year, turn off the lights? Hey, they\u2019re off, 670 million people, lights, everything off. This is what they want. They ought to stop everything and declare this is what we are aiming for ourselves, because it is.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That, to me, is just ridiculous. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Of course it\u2019s ridiculous. It\u2019s absurd.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Just if you consider even the oppression that so many people there face, I can\u2019t understand why, you know, the feminists aren\u2019t standing up every time someone says we should be more like India. I can\u2019t believe they\u2019re not jumping up and down outraged that someone would even suggest such a thing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that makes two of us. It does. The hypocrisy on the left. But, see, they don\u2019t consider India their opposite. It\u2019s us, Kath. We conservatives are all they care about opposing. We are the ones they care to stop. Whatever is happening to women in Saudi Arabia or India, ah, doesn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s how can we take whatever\u2019s happening anywhere we want to highlight and destroy or defeat conservatives. That\u2019s the prism through which they look at everything, defeating American conservatives, Republicans, what have you. Kathy, thanks for the call. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
