\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Jeff in Albuquerque, New Mexico, great to have you, sir. Welcome to the program. Glad you waited. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, great show. I\u2019ve been defending you for years against everybody that says that you\u2019re wrong, but I truly respect you and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, you sound like Matthew McConaughey<\/a>. To me, you sound just like Matthew McConaughey.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Duck.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, you do. You do.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ve been up since three o\u2019clock yesterday, and so —<\/p>\n

RUSH: So has he.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — I don\u2019t mean to make Snerdley mad, but I\u2019m on the same page with you about global warming<\/a>. Who\u2019s to say what\u2019s normal, right?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, in terms of what is the normal temperature<\/a>. Yeah, what is normal? How do we know what normal is on the planet? Exactly right. Good question.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. But what I\u2019m saying, how do we get back to normal in America? How do we get there? I may have worded it wrong with Snerdley, but I\u2019m just wondering \u2019cause everything\u2019s spinning out of control, so how do you think we should get America back to normal and what is normal?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. Who\u2019s saying that we need to get America back to normal?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you hear Cruz and some of the politicians say “Let\u2019s take America back,” and a couple callers, “I remember the Reagan era” and, you know, but —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but they\u2019re not saying take America back to normal. They\u2019re not saying that. They want to return it to the principles of the founding. They want to take it back to the era of individuality and self-reliance, not Big Government taking care of — the country was never founded with the idea of 92 million Americans not working being supported by the rest of \u2019em. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s not what this country was designed for or how it was put together.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, that\u2019s right, I\u2019m paying a big load myself, but I\u2019m asking how do we get everything kind of calmed down and, you know, back to normal again.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, what is normal to you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, normal is, you know, like I respect you, you seem to hold a wife for all these years and haven\u2019t steered away, and, you know, you go to work every day. I live at nighttime, I\u2019m amongst the walking dead on the street. You know, strong guys holding signs up bumming money when they can do back flips on an off-ramp, then they want my money. It\u2019s not horrible, you know. If you can do a back flip on an off-ramp to get money, you could certainly go do what I\u2019m doing for a living.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, we\u2019ve always had beggars.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019ve always had welfare cheats. I mean, wherever you go on the earth there\u2019s always been all kinds of people and humanity. Just because you got welfare recipients on interstate off-ramps doesn\u2019t mean anything.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, when they bug you at a stoplight that\u2019s when it bothers me. On an on-ramp, you can just speed right by \u2019em.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. So you just see normal as just kind of —<\/p>\n

RUSH: This whole notion of normal, I\u2019m using “normal” in a scientific sense because that is the way this global warming stuff is presented. My only point is I\u2019m trying to persuade people that the people trying to tell us there is massive climate change going on had better tell us what the norm is. You have the average temperature, the average high, the average low, what\u2019s the norm? If we don\u2019t know what the norm is, we can\u2019t tell if we\u2019ve got excessive warming or cooling. <\/p>\n

My only point is, who are we to say that in whatever numbers of thousands of years, that what it is when we happen to be alive is what is normal. Maybe the ice ages are what\u2019s normal. Maybe the Dust Bowl is what\u2019s normal. How do we know what the hell normal is? Aren\u2019t we being extremely vain to claim that the climate as it is right now is normal and that any variation is a crisis caused by us? It\u2019s absurd! It\u2019s illogical. It makes no sense whatsoever, which means it\u2019s a perfect Democrat cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
