Speaker 1 (00:00):
It took five minutes. Five minutes. It only took five
minutes before the Democrat Party politicized the tornado in Oklahoma.
They politicize everything, folks. They rub their hands together in
(00:24):
glee when there is a natural disaster that they think
they can spin in such a way as to advance
their political agenda. And if any of you doubt that
global warming is a political issue and not a science issue,
then you must open your mind and consider why in
(00:45):
the world. Ask yourself why in the world. Five minutes
after the news hits of this horrible destruction, a Democrat Senator,
Sheldon white House runs out and starts talking about global
war me and blaming the tornado on global warming. Tornado
(01:06):
activity in this country is actually down. Temperatures have not
risen for fifteen years. There is no warming taking place,
and certainly no man made global warming. Five minutes after
the news of this tornado hits, a Democrat senator cannot
wait to get hold of a reporter somehow, anyway possible,
(01:31):
and start shouting global warming. What is the point? What
in the world is served by that? What possible assistance
can that observation be? What does it have to do
with anything even ladies and gentlemen. And I really don't
(01:52):
even want to acknowledge this, but I'm going to for
the sake of the discussion. Even if there were global
warming taking place, what point is made? What what is
served by calling attention to it five minutes before we
even know the death poll. These people are are just
(02:15):
despicable readings, my friends, and welcome. It's great to have
you here, Russia Limbaugh and the excellence and broadcasting networking
the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. Five minutes and
then that chorus was picked up in any number of
places in the media internationally. They're they're excited that they
(02:38):
could say that the tornado was the result of global warming.
I've had a story at the top of the stack
for the past couple of days. Well this is what
is this Tuesday? So this is the second day. I
don't think I had it on Friday. And the headline
is climate. It's from the BBC, by the way, and
these are the biggest global warming political aficionados you'll ever
(03:03):
run into. The BBC is as far left as any
in this country, and they are invested totally in the
idea of man made global warming and a story from
the BBC on the nineteenth of May. It was three
days or two days ago. Climate slowdown means extreme rates
of warming not as likely. And here's a pull quote
(03:25):
from the story. Since there has been an unexplained stands
still in the heating of the Earth's atmosphere, what do
you mean unexplained stand still? Unexplained only from their baseline,
and their baseline is the flawed, fraudulent projections made by
(03:47):
their flawed models. Nobody knows what the norm is. Nobody
has been alive long enough to know what the norm is.
We've been around tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions,
who knows who's counting years. Nobody knows what the norm is.
It's the height of folly to assume the norm is
(04:07):
now when we're alive. So they've got these models that
projected all this warming and the warming isn't taking place, So,
oh my god, what's wrong? Maybe nothing's wrong other than
their stupid models. Maybe nothing's wrong. Maybe there is no
(04:27):
stand still. They have their models projecting warming over the
next one years and it isn't warming. They don't stop
and think that their models are wrong, and there's something
unexplained going on out there. For fifteen years, there has
been this trend of no warming, and we've been fed
a bunch of lies that we're all about to burn
(04:48):
to death. And five minutes after this tornado hits, the
Democrats can't wait to use it to advance their political agenda. Anyway, Tornado,
(05:11):
it's a crying shame natural disaster. They happen. The true
test in a natural disaster. The people of Oklahoma no
that they are in tornado Alley. The true test is
the aftermath. Now people deal with it. And I have
to tell you from what I've seen, these people in
(05:32):
Oklahoma are the backbone of the United States of America.
These people I found the same thing. By the way,
Catherine and I went to Joplin, Missouri, with a whole
semi truckload of two if by tea last year round
the fourth of July, shortly after the tornado had ripped
(05:52):
half that town to shreds, and we found the people
of Joplin were not eyeing and whining and moaning, and
they weren't asking where FEMA was, and they weren't demanding
that government show up. They had rolled up their sleeves
and they were already starting to rebuild. And we went
and they had a big concert with a bunch of
(06:14):
groups that came in, performed gratis. It was a it
was a pretty big party barbecue. We I say, we
brought in a bunch of ice too, if my tea.
I made a short little speech on American exceptionalism and
how the people that Joplin were illustrating demonstrating it same
thing in Oklahoma, and you'll hear it here on the
(06:35):
sound bites coming up backbone of America. They know what
can happen there, It's happened before. This is a pretty
bad one. This was a huge tornado. But I just
want to remind you of three things again, the BBC
story because it took five minutes, folks, and the Democrat
Party was politicizing this the latest not to come out
(06:57):
Senator Boxer. Senator Boxer is nothing. The tornado means just
global warming? Okay, so what what? What? What? What do
we do? We erase taxes? What are we gonna do?
All you Democrats? Sheldon white House, Barbara Boxer, what the
hell could you have done to stop this? Tell me
what has global warming meant to that tornado? What bigger
and more powerful because of global warming? Is that? What
(07:18):
do you want to try to convince you belove that
if somehow we had taken steps on your so called
climate change, that the tornado wouldn't have been as powerful,
wouldn't have been as big, may not have happened. What
are you trying to convince people of. Do you realize
how absurd you people are five minutes after this disaster
(07:39):
and they're trying to politicize it for what purpose? I'll
tell you what purpose. They want the government to get bigger,
and they want you to drive smaller cars. They want
to dictate the way you live. They want you to
use one sheet of toilet paper whatever. That's an extreme
example from Cheryl Crowe. But still they want you giving
up a little more your economic freedom. They want you
(07:59):
paying taxes under the guise that somehow those people in Washington,
in conjunction with people at the United Nations, know everything
there is about the climate and if you just give
them more money while they're gonna do magic things and
make tornadoes and hurricanes and so forth go away. There's
a problem. There isn't any global warming, and tornado activity
(08:20):
had been on the decline. BBC scientists say the recent
downturn in the rate of global warming will lead to
lower temperature rises in the short term, since there's been
an unexplained stand still in the heating of the Earth's atmosphere.
(08:40):
Writing in Nature Geoscience, the researchers say this will reduce
predicted warming in the coming decades, but long term, the
expected temperature rises will not alter significantly. The slowdown in
the expected rate of global warming has been studied for
several years now. The slowdown earlier this year, the UK
Meteorological Office lowered their five year temperature forecast, but this
(09:03):
new paper gives the clearest picture yet of how any
slowdown is likely to affect temperatures and what These people
are simply throwing it up against the wall and seeing
what sticks there. It's it's his gibberish, folks, there's a
unexplained stand still based on what Why do they assume
that what is happening now is normal and that anything
(09:26):
above or below what's happening now is disaster. They don't
know what normal is. There hadn't been anybody alive long
enough to keep records long enough to figure out an average.
There's no science here. This is all politics. Unexplained stand
still from what Okay, So they've got a bunch of
(09:48):
computer models which are flawed, garbage in, garbage out, and
their computer models said that over the past fifteen years
there'd be a one and a half degree rise centigrade,
and temperature hasn't happened. So, oh, there's an unexplained standstill.
There's nothing unexplained is as the temperature hasn't changed. It's easy.
(10:09):
There's no stand still. There's only a standstill if you
believe their garbage. There's only a standstill if you believe
their baseline based on their fraudulent models, that there should
have been a one and a half degree increase in
temperature in the past fifteen years. So since what they predicted,
what they thought was going to happen, didn't happen, something's wrong. No, no, no, no,
(10:31):
we're talking about nature and these guys can't control it,
influence it, whatever, and they never will be able to.
So there's that. Then there's USA Today. Doyle Rice on
May ten, tornado activity hits sixty year low ten days ago.
(10:55):
USA Today, How did these global warming wackos splain the
lack of tornado activity up until yesterday's tragedy. It's up
until yesterday's tragedy, tornado activity was on the decline. Now,
all of a sudden, a tornado has had a global warming.
Oh oh, it's getting really been, just like after Hurricane Katrina.
(11:18):
What did they predict? Massive hurricanes, massive destruction. Number of
hurricanes in the US plummeted after the shooting Newtown, Connecticut.
What did they expect? Oh my god, gun violence are
gonna go through the Oh my god, it's all barogana, diet. Well,
what did they find? Gun violence is actually down, even
(11:38):
including Newtown ladies and gentlemen. I'm I'm looking. I mean,
it's in a bout of my heart. You literally cannot
trust anything these people tell you. You You certainly can't trust
their predictions. You cannot because it's all politics. It's all
designed to insult you, it's all designed to fool you.
(12:03):
You're being spun on all of this stuff, Doyle Rice.
Let me see with this USA Today story said ten
days ago, quiet tornado season forecast to last into next
week at last, at least all anybody want to sue
these people for malpractice? Anybody in Oklahoma reading this through?
(12:28):
Oh good, del I just read it in USA Today.
They ain't gonna be any tornadoes the next couple of weeks.
We're safe, Mabel USA Today said, So, they got a
bunch of global warming experts unexplained decline in tornado activity.
It's going to continue for the next two weeks. Oh
what went wrong? What went wrong is that these people
(12:54):
do not know what they're talking about from the get go.
It's gibberish. There may ginge all up every day, and
they're claiming that what they're making up and spinning is science,
and it's the furthest thing from science. The tornado drought
(13:19):
is forecast to continue at least through the weekend. The
USA in the past twelve months has seen the fewest
number of tornadoes since at least nineteen fifty four, says
USA Today ten days ago, and the death tolls from
the dangerous storms have dropped dramatically since. Yet there's global
warming and we should have seen more tornadoes. The bottom
(13:46):
line is that everything these people say are pretty much everything,
is literally disproven every day. Just two years back to
the USA Today story here, just two years after a
ferocious series of tornado outbreaks killed hundreds of Americans, the
USA so far, this year is enjoying one of the
(14:07):
calmest years on record for twisters. Through Thursday, tornadoes have
killed only three Americans by the end of May eleven,
five hundred and forty three Americans. That's a pretty big difference, folks.
By the end of May twenty eleven, five hundred and
(14:27):
forty three Americans had died. Through Thursday of last week,
only three had died just a two year span. The
seven people killed from May of twelve to April is
the fewest in a twelve month period since five people
(14:47):
died in September nineteen sorry eight. According to Harold Brooks,
a research meteorologist with the National Severe Storms Laboratory and Norman, Oklahoma,
the year to date count of tornadoes is probably approaching
the lower ten percent of all years on record, said
(15:10):
Greg Carbon, Warning co ordination meteorologist with the Storm Prediction
Center in Norman. Why has tornado activity been on the
decline Well, an unusually cool weather pattern from the Rockies
to the East Coast. Generally, the lower temperature and or
the drier the air, the lower the number of thunderstorms,
(15:34):
said ACCU weather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski. Okay, so USA today
ten days ago said nothing to see here, No tornadoes
are way weighed down three deaths this year by comparison
five and forty three same time two years ago. And
then from a Tulsa TV station, Jennifer Zeppelin, the chief
(16:00):
meteorologist at Katie u L TV, whether trends show fewer
tornadoes this is just five days ago this story. May
typically has been our peak month for tornadoes, but after
the warmest year on record, followed by an ongoing drought
and cooler than normal temperatures, our weather has been anything
(16:20):
but normal for the past twelve months. Meteorologists with the
Nationals of Your Storms Laboratory track all the tornado statue
of the US have noticed an interesting trend over the
last decade, fewer tornadoes. Tulsa meteorologists noted just a few
days ago that while tornado activity is down, to not
(16:42):
let your guard down, and she was correct. I want
to play a sound bite from a montage of people
who lost everything from last night in this morning. These
are tornado victims in Oklahoma. These this is what I
(17:05):
mean when I say that, oh, these people are the
backbone of this country. My security isn't the things I
own my security isn't the Lord. The last thing we
lose in a situation like this is faith. We have
to hold on to faith and trust God. Every moment
you salvage which you can salvage, you thank God that
(17:27):
he has another plan for you. I'm a believer in
and by the grace of God, me and my children
are alive, and our health we can repair it. We
prayed that God would save our health. We also prayed
that if God didn't, he would get us through, and
he will, by the grace of God. It's just amazing.
We know that God is good, and we know that
there's people out there who are still alive, and we're
(17:47):
going to find them. The media, as you can imagine,
could not understand any of that. They were just shocked.
They were they were literally stunned that, of all things,
people would be thankful to God after such a thing
(18:11):
in the media's minds, at least, if you're gonna be thankful,
be thankful to Obama, who is going to send in
rescue aid if that happens. By the way, talk to
people in New York and New Jersey about all the
aide for Sandy Hook and so let's see if that happened.
We're gonna go Pittsburgh. This is Kathy and I'm glad
you waited. Welcome to the program, Mr Limbaugh. It's an honor.
(18:34):
I was going to say, it's a pleasure to talk
to you. It's an honor to speak to you. Thank
you very much, thank you. I'll get right to the point. Um.
You spoke earlier about the Democrats and how they used
every disaster and everything to promote their agenda, such as
global warming. Well, yesterday, when um this all when, when
this was all unfolding, I got onto my Twitter feed.
(18:55):
I seem to be able to get news quicker that
way than from anywhere else. And before I saw anything
about the tornado, I saw a few Democrats tweeting the
names of Republican I assume Republican lawmakers in Oklahoma that
voted against the Hurricane Sandy relief bill. I was disgusted.
(19:18):
I mean, where does that even fall? Where does that
play into anything that happened yesterday? Well those Republicans, by
the way, and of course I wouldn't expect these these
twitter bobs too even if they did know what I'm
going to tell you, they wouldn't include it because they're
trying to advance a fraudulent concept, of course, but the
(19:42):
Republicans that voted against the that the aid package was
part of a huge budget busting bunch of pork that
went way beyond disaster relief, and that's why they were
not apposed to assist the idea that what what these
(20:02):
people on Twitter trying to convey is that Republicans don't
care about people who are suffering and just as soon
let them die and just as soon let them not
get their houses rebuilt, when in fact, the bottom line
is that you go, we've got a Democrat governor, we
got a Republican governor trying to make combody think he's
a Democrat in New Jersey, we got a Democrat president,
and we still have people in dire straits where that
(20:25):
hurricane hit, all these so called people of great compassion
with their hands on the purse strings, and there still
hasn't been a whole lot of the relief aid that's
come forth. Nothing to do with the Republicans. Now, on
an interesting note to this, Tom Colburn, Republican Senator from Oklahoma,
when the whole idea of disaster relief for Oklahoma hit
(20:50):
just yesterday Tom Comberd said fine and dandy, but there
better be some appropriate spending cuts somewhere in the budget.
I don't want this disaster relief to a budget buster.
So his own state, you know, let these twitter bobs
get a hold of this. Tom Colburn in his own
state said fine, I'm all for disaster relief, but I'm
(21:10):
not going to authorize it or vote for it unless
there's corresponding budget cuts or spending cuts somewhere else. So
that does not anything but but revenue neutral. Now imagine that, right,
Well that's the Democrat. Uh translation of that is that
he doesn't care what happened to the people in his state.
All he cares about is, you know, making sure that um,
(21:34):
you know, relief is appropriated. You know, whatever the reasons,
they don't understand what the under you know, he does care.
He's just trying to be realistic. This, this Hurricane Sandy
relief bill was look ridiculously full of port right to
vote again, Right, But here's the thing, just in a
in a low information world, the people for whom all
(21:57):
that's intended to believe it. The Atlantic Monthly has a
headline why we can't forget that Oklahoma's Senators voted against
Andy relief. It was a slush fund. It took money
from relief and funneled at the Democrat loyalists, and they
called it a relief fund and it wasn't. It was
a slush fund. And that's why the Republicans voted against it.
(22:20):
But low information voters are not going to get that news.
Here is the governor of Oklahoma on Good Morning America today,
George Stephanopolis, talking to Mary Fallons is Republican. Stephanopolis said,
we know how determined and resilient you are. Will Oklahoma
be back? And of course she said no. You know,
I think, George, just tornadoes totally wiped out the state
(22:42):
and I don't think we're gonna have a prayer coming back. Uh,
we're just gonna pack up. We're gonna go to Mexico
and try to replace the people in Mexico who have
come here because this tornado is wiped us out of George,
no way we can come back. What is she a
post the side of the question. Here's what she did say. Well,
we'll be back. Absolutely. Oklahoma has gone through this a
(23:05):
couple of times and we're resilient, strong, courageous people are
people are very strong and they will make it through this.
But we're gonna need a lot of prayer and a
lot of support to get back on her feet. Prayer.
We need to know the contents of those prayers before
we give you any aid. Madame Governor, Well, the Tea
(23:28):
Party groups had to divulge the contents of their prayers
to get their tax attempt status. The governor is probably
gonna have to divulge the contents are her prayers in
order to get federal disaster aid. I'm telling you these
people to back moltive American folks. Will they be back?
Of course they're going to be back. Here's Sheldon white
House yesterday afternoon, five minutes after the tornado hit. This
(23:53):
is on the Senate floor, Democrat from Rhode Island. Why
do you, Sheldon white House, Democratic, Rhode Island, care if
we Republicans run off the climate cliff like a bunch
of proverbial lemmings and disgrace ourselves. I'll tell you why
we're stuck in this together. He's talking to himself. Why
do you, Sheldon white House, Democratic? Were Allilan care if
(24:14):
the Republicans run off the climate cliff? So the tornado
happened because Republicans don't believe in climate change, don't believe
in global warming, and haven't authorized the money. You see,
what more money we could have stopped the tornado, The
more money we could have told a tornado go somewhere else.
You're not wanted or somehow. Now he complains about the money.
(24:40):
Democrats aren't supposed to care about what things cost. When
cyclones tear up Oklahoma and hurricane swamp Alabama and wildfire
scorched Texas, you come to us the rest of the
country for billions of dollars to recover. And the damage
that your polluters and deniers are doing doesn't just hit
Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas. It hits Rhode Island with
(25:04):
floods and storms, It hits Oregon with acidified seas, It
hits Montana with dying forests. So like it or not,
we're in this together. You know that really is reprehensible,
That really is He ought to be made to apologize
(25:29):
to everybody for this this folks, do you do you
want you just heard when when storms tear up Oklahoma
and hurricane swamp Alabama, wildfire scorched Texas, you come to
us the rest of the country for billions of dollars
to recover and the damage that your polluters and your
(25:50):
deniers are doing. So you polluters caused that tornado, and you,
you global warming deniers, you caused the tornado, and you
dare come ask us for money. He just accused the
people of Oaklahoma of causing this disaster and then coming
(26:15):
to Washington with their hands out begging for money. And
he says it doesn't work that way because of your
pollution and because of your denial of global warming. Well,
your messes also hit us in Rhode Island with floods
and storms, it hits Oregon, it hits Montana. So your
(26:35):
polluters and your deniers aren't just destroying your state, You're
destroying all of our. Then you dare come here and
ask us from the folks. This is beyond the pale.
Sheldon white House, obviously Democrat from Rhode Island, before it
was even known that the death told is seeking to
(26:58):
blame citizens and Lama one more on the global warming
and climate change and the tornadoes. Piers Morgan Live last
not CNN. He interviewed TV personality Bill Ny, the science guy.
Why are you laughing? Bill Ny? Is not a science guy.
(27:25):
Bill ny is. That's why is the TV personality. Bill
ny is not a scientist. Bill Ny can explain to
kids things like surface tension. You know why you can
fill a glass above the rim and it won't fall
over if it's just the right amount. He can explained
things like that surface tension. He's not a scientist. He
(27:49):
knows that everybody else knows. It doesn't matter. Seeing N
put him on as a scientist and they had this
little chat about the tornado and global warming. As a scientist,
when you hear about the size, scale, power and devastation
of this tornado, what does it tell you about the
ongoing debate about climate change? Well, the climate change is
(28:11):
you just have to think of it. I mean ten
of the last twelve years have been the warmest years recorded.
Thunderstorms are driven by heat. The tornado is a super thunderstorm,
result of a super thunderstorm. So you gotta figure if
there's more heat driving the storm, than there's going to
be more tornadoes. No, no, no, no, no no no no.
(28:36):
It's cold air that causes these things. It's cold air
that causes hurricanes. It's cold. This guy is not a scientist.
Book that Piers Morgan just put a guy on. Is
not as a TV personality, but it's the BBC with
a story two days ago. There hasn't been any warming
in fifteen years. All of the global warming freak know
(29:00):
this and it's got them freaked out. They can't understand it.
And here he is a will. Eight of the last
ten years have been the warmest year's record. No, no, no, no,
no anyway, I just wanted to show you how this
fraud is perpetrated, and it is. It's utterly harmless. I mean,
Bill Nive the science guy, is an utterly unintimidating game.
(29:24):
Puts on a white coat, looks like a scientist. His
hair is uncompty, looks like a scientist. He's got to
look down. Pat
