RUSH: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Post: “AOC Explains Why ‘Farting Cows\u2019 Were Considered in Green New Deal.<\/a>” That is an actual headline with a picture of AOC here who is still — I think I\u2019m looking at The Fly. I shouldn\u2019t say that. I\u2019m sorry. Really, I take that back.<\/p>\n

\"\"“AOC Explains Why ‘Farting Cows\u2019 Were Considered in Green New Deal –‘In the deal, what we talk about, and it\u2019s true, is that we need to take a look at factory farming, you know? Period. It\u2019s wild. And so it\u2019s not to say you get rid of agriculture, it\u2019s not to say we\u2019re gonna force everybody to go vegan or anything crazy like that. But it\u2019s to say, listen, we gotta address factory farming. Maybe we shouldn\u2019t be eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Like, let\u2019s keep it real.'”<\/p>\n

For climate change! To solve climate change. The woman is a ditz. She is a dangerous ditz because she doesn\u2019t know it. She\u2019s got an economics degree. The media treats her like the second coming. There\u2019s nobody more dangerous than somebody that doesn\u2019t know diddly-squat, who thinks they know squat-diddly, know everything.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites, because we have a couple here. Last night, there is a new show on Showtime, and it\u2019s called Desus & Mero<\/a> — some might pronounce that Day-Sues, but I know better. Desus & Mero. Desus Nice asked Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, “On my twitter mentioned I\u2019m getting a lot of mention about cow farts. I think that is a reference to your New Green Deal. Can you explain the cow fart business to us?”<\/p>\n

CORTEZ: In the deal what we talk about is, I mean, and it\u2019s — it\u2019s true, is that we need to take a look at factory farming, you know, period. It\u2019s wild. It\u2019s not to say we\u2019re going to force everybody to go vegan or anything crazy like that. But it\u2019s to say, listen, we got to address factory farming. Maybe we shouldn\u2019t be eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We have to take a look at everything and what we need to realize is that climate change is about every choice that we make in our lives.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, such brilliance. Put it up. When I see Cortez, if you\u2019re watching on the Dittocam, this is the image that I get. Those eyes. It\u2019s those eyes, folks. It\u2019s not those fangs there. It\u2019s those eyes. Who is stupider here? I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019m sure this sounds coarse. But I mean, who, Smollett or this babe? Play that again. Listen, actually listen to this. Hit it again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CORTEZ: In the deal what we talk about is, I mean, and it\u2019s — it\u2019s true, is that we need to take a look at factory farming, you know, period. It\u2019s wild. It\u2019s not to say we\u2019re going to force everybody to go vegan or anything crazy like that. But it\u2019s to say, listen, we got to address factory farming. Maybe we shouldn\u2019t be eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We have to take a look at everything and what we need to realize is that climate change is about every choice that we make in our lives.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What business is it of yours who eats what when? And where did you grow up getting the idea that you think you can force everybody to do something? “Mr. Limbaugh, respectfully, that\u2019s not what she said.” Yes, it is. When she says, “Look, it\u2019s not to say we\u2019re going to force everybody — ” she\u2019s thinking about it. It\u2019s her purview. You\u2019re stupid. You\u2019re destroying the planet. You don\u2019t even know how. Cows are farting. Factory farming? Man, folks, we\u2019re witnessing what has been the breakdown of America\u2019s public education for I don\u2019t know how many years. She is the quintessential illustration and product of modern education.<\/p>\n

We have a bonus sound bite. Yes! Same show, Desus & Mero. And now the other co-host, Kid Mero, said, “Please look straight in the camera and explain the tax stuff for the dumb MFers that keep saying, ‘If I make a million dollars, she\u2019s going to take $70 million away from me.'”<\/p>\n

CORTEZ: You make more than 10 million in one year, your 10 millionth and 1 dollar gets taxed at 70%. And it really comes down to the question of, isn\u2019t 10 million enough? Like when does it stop…<\/p>\n

NICE: Yeah, when\u2019s too much money too much?<\/p>\n

CORTEZ: …right? Like, when at what point is it immoral that we\u2019re building Jeff Bezos a helipad when we have the most amount of homeless people in New York City?<\/p>\n

RUSH: So, Jeff Bezos is to blame for homelessness. That is going to be a big surprise to him. She doesn\u2019t even understand marginal tax rates. And believe me, her plan does not allow you to make $10 million tax-free, and only at 10 million and one do you start paying 70%. This woman hasn\u2019t the slightest idea. (imitating Cortez) “But then it really comes down to the question of, isn\u2019t 10 million enough, like -” none of your business. It\u2019s none of your business.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t get to decide who earns enough, who has enough, who needs enough. Not in a free society. It\u2019s none of your business. The fact that you\u2019re concerned about other people is a great indication that you\u2019re just a gigantic nag. And that\u2019s the last thing we need. And then of course these idiot hosts, “Yeah, yeah, when is too much money too much?” “Right, like, you know, like at what point is it immoral that we\u2019re building Jeff Bezos a helipad when we have the most amount of homeless -” why do you have the most homeless in New York City?<\/p>\n

What do you think is the political system in New York that created that reality, AOC? I mean, your buddies have been running that town for as long as you\u2019ve been alive and then some. Who is responsible for it? What policies gave us an increasing number of people who can\u2019t find jobs, who can\u2019t get enough money to even live in a tent someplace? That\u2019s Jeff Bezos\u2019s fault because we\u2019re building him a helipad. Ahhh, okay.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I realize I should be a little less forceful, but folks, like I told you, I\u2019ve been laughing at these people for 30 years, and it hasn\u2019t worked. It\u2019s like last night, Chuck Barkley was laughing himself silly over Smollett<\/a>, and he had everybody on that set on TNT cracking up last night. He just destroyed Smollett by laughing at it. What are you doing, dude? You hired muggers with a check? You\u2019re going to commit a crime, you don\u2019t write a check. Who is going to believe two black guys beating up another black guy had anything to do with Trump?<\/p>\n

Shaquille O\u2019Neal couldn\u2019t stop laughing. I, myself, couldn\u2019t stop laughing. But it doesn\u2019t work. I wish it did. It used to be that humor was one of the greatest ways to — what\u2019s the word? Inform people. Rather than getting in their face and wagging a finger at them and being serious and tell them what\u2019s what, but this is — even now I can\u2019t stop laughing at it when I think of all the ancillaries of how the Drive-Bys think we\u2019re dealing with brilliance unparalleled here.<\/p>\n

But the overarching ingredient in all this, forget the specifics of the deranged and diluted policy, the attitude, the attitude that she and a few others are going to tell everybody else how to live, how to eat, what\u2019s enough, when\u2019s enough, what anybody else can and can\u2019t do, including you. What kind of person has that kind of attitude? It\u2019s a very controlling person, arrogant. Somebody who does not believe in freedom because they do not believe people know what to do with it, can\u2019t be trusted with it, won\u2019t spend their money the right way. The right way defined by what AOC would do with it.<\/p>\n

I can remember 25 years ago predicting that they are going to end up trying to tell you what you can eat and can\u2019t eat and people said, “Rush, c\u2019mon, it\u2019s funny, but don\u2019t be serious. You can\u2019t really believe it.” Then here comes Doomberg defining the size of soft drinks that can be purchased in New York City.<\/p>\n

After that, we got this babe coming along. I warned everybody they were going to ban toilet paper. Cow farts were going to be one of the leading ingredients to support the idea of climate change because of methane. People laughed at me when I was laughing at them.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Give me Dan in Houston next. Dan, great to have you on the program. Welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I just wanted to follow up on a comment you made about how AOC demonstrates a breakdown in our education system. I\u2019ve been a junior high school teacher for 30 years, and every time I hear her speak, I\u2019m hearing one of those kids in my classroom, the way she formulates her words that don\u2019t really take you to any relevant point. It\u2019s just a bunch of filler to try to — I don\u2019t know — they don\u2019t know what they\u2019re saying. But every time I hear that, I feel like I\u2019ve just listened to one of those junior high kids.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s a good observation. She sounds like a junior high student. Does she sound like somebody that is — well, I don\u2019t want to put words in your mouth or lead you, but it sounds to me like somebody trying to sound smart, somebody trying to impress people with how knowledgeable they are. But it isn\u2019t working.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. And it\u2019s like when they don\u2019t know the point they\u2019re trying to make, but they know they need to get to some point of conclusion, they use these wandering kind of words that are connected, which sound very impressive, particularly to who they are hoping to speak to, but when you get right down to it — and the more complex the issue becomes, the more wandering those words become.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, she\u2019s got a degree in economics, Dan, from Boston University, a degree in economics!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, then she didn\u2019t learn anything there. (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: I mean, but how does it happen? Well, we know how it happens. I\u2019m asking the question rhetorically. And I\u2019m not trying to be mean. I know some people, “You\u2019re just being mean.” No, I\u2019m not, folks, she\u2019s a dominant political force here and you can\u2019t just laugh this off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
