Exactly. But this looks like somebody from the Obama regime is owning up to it. In a sense saying, we\u2019ve all been lied to about this. I just printed it out. I haven\u2019t had a chance to read it yet but I\u2019m one of the fastest digesters of news there is out there so I\u2019ll digest this really fast as a fast digester does and I\u2019ll get you the details in the next segment, I promise.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, the Daily Caller story: &#8220;Former Obama Official: Bureaucrats Manipulate Climate Stats To Influence Policy.&#8221; Now you and I know that this happens. This isn\u2019t any big deal. But here we have testimony from an actual Obama regime official.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-230886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ObamaLyingLevers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ObamaLyingLevers.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ObamaLyingLevers-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>&#8220;A former member of the Obama administration claims Washington D.C. often uses &#8216;misleading\u2019 news releases about climate data to influence public opinion.&#8221; You could plug in anything, misleading news releases about nutrition, about Republicans, about Fox News, anything to influence public opinion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Former Energy Department Undersecretary Steven Koonin told The Wall Street Journal Monday that bureaucrats within former President Barack Obama\u2019s administration spun scientific data to manipulate public opinion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Have you heard the latest assertion from the left that is genuinely insane? It is that the most poisonous gas out there is not what Assad used, not sarin. CO2. Not kidding you. Bill Maher picked it up and used it as though it were Bible gospel. In order to promote climate change, Bashar al-Assad gassing his own people with sarin gas was defended in a sense, the left says, &#8220;Well, that\u2019s not the worst and most poisonous gas out there. The most poisonous gas is carbon dioxide and it\u2019s being emitted in this country. The United States is poisoning more people with a poison gas than Assad could ever hope to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>No. The planet could not exist without CO2. Humans couldn\u2019t exist, plant life couldn\u2019t, nobody could. Nobody could exist without carbon. Well, mammals. It\u2019s absurd. You exhale it. This has been my problem with greenhouse gas emissions as a primary cause of global warming, climate change, what have you, we can\u2019t help it. We exhale CO2. And you know who breathes CO2? Well, I say &#8220;who,&#8221; yes. It\u2019s plans and trees and grass, and then the magic of photosynthesis happens. We can\u2019t help it. To say that human beings behaving as we have no choice but to behave because of our creation are destroying the planet? Stop and think of that.<\/p>\n<p>And then add to it that this is a means of defending &#8212; well, it\u2019s not actually defending Assad. It\u2019s trying to say the U.S. is worse and we have no business criticizing Assad or anybody else who uses sarin gas because we\u2019re worse because we\u2019re emitting more poison gas on innocent people than anybody else in the world ever has. Now, this is insane. It\u2019s not arguable. It has no relevance. It has no foundation to it whatsoever. There\u2019s no science in this. It is just pure, pure propaganda pornography. I\u2019d call it political pornography, to get into things like this and to try to convince young skulls full of mush.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-228383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-012.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-012.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-012-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-012-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/>You talk about a guilt trip. You already have these snowflakes out there that just are afraid of anything, even if it\u2019s Dr. Seuss if he disagrees with \u2019em. And now you want to tell them that they\u2019re killing the planet; that\u2019s right where you want them. Now they\u2019ll do anything to save the planet. Vote Democrat, punish people that you tell \u2019em need to be punished, refusing to let them speak.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m actually of the opinion that these people are going to crash and implode on themselves. I\u2019ve gone back and forth on the proposition that the left is unbeatable because of their numbers and because of the media and there simply is no massive counter to this. But at some point this all has to collapse on itself because there\u2019s nothing that is providing the foundation for modern progressivism that is true, or very little.<\/p>\n<p>And what is true is being destroyed day in and day out, and it\u2019s being replaced with this inexplicable irrationality, such as the United States poisons more people than Bashar al-Assad ever could. I mean, it doesn\u2019t even compute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH:  It&#039;s a Daily Caller story.
