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

RUSH: I was watching Fox this morning — well, I never really watch it, it\u2019s just on while I\u2019m in the midst of doing show prep. Sometimes, for whatever reason, I\u2019ll actually look at the monitor, something attracts my attention, sometimes I\u2019m just looking for a break from what I\u2019m doing. I looked up there and I saw this graphic the bottom of the screen. You know what it said?<\/p>\n

“Sandy victims shiver in Northeast without heat.” Victims of Hurricane Sandy.<\/p>\n

Remember, this happened back in late October, early November. This happened a week before the election. This happened way back last year. And, I, ladies and gentlemen, I\u2019m being dead serious with you. Do not infer anything in my tone of voice. I thought that it had been fixed. We haven\u2019t heard since a couple days after the election anything about the Northeast. Well, there were occasional stories of people who still didn\u2019t have power, still didn\u2019t have gasoline, homes still hadn\u2019t been rebuilt. But those stories died away shortly after the election.<\/p>\n

Chris Christie wasn\u2019t talking about it much anymore. Andrew Cuomo wasn\u2019t talking about it much anymore. The president wasn\u2019t. Mayor Doomberg wasn\u2019t talking about it. And as time has gone on, I just thought that problem had been solved. Honestly, I did. I thought the power had been restored. I thought gasoline stations are back open. I thought people moved back into their houses. I was shocked when I saw this. Here it is January 25th. By the way, it\u2019s my cousin Steve\u2019s birthday today. Steve Jr., Cape Girardeau, Missouri, happy birthday. He\u2019s, what, I think two years younger than I am.<\/line><\/p>\n

Anyway, folks, I thought it was done. I haven\u2019t heard any complaints about it. I haven\u2019t heard, “Where\u2019s FEMA?” I haven\u2019t heard anything about people freezing. I haven\u2019t heard anything, not like I heard in Hurricane Katrina. We heard about that for a year.<\/p>\n

(interruption) No, I\u2019m not. (interruption) I\u2019m not. (interruption) Dawn, I\u2019m not trying to be cynical. I\u2019m telling the truth. This surprised me. I thought it had been fixed! (sigh) The president got together with Chris Christie; they said they set up this hotline. They were gonna eliminate any bureaucratic red tape. If you called with a problem, it was gonna get attention in 15 minutes. Well, here it is, and there\u2019s a big cold snap in the Northeast to go along with global warming.<\/p>\n

Oh, by the way, that reminds me. I shoulda mentioned this yesterday. Derek Jeter.<\/a> You know, Derek Jeter is in Davos at the World Economic Forum. The reason he\u2019s there is that Pepsi owned Gatorade, which Jeter drinks; Jeter endorses. Well, I assume he drinks it because he endorses Gatorade. So Pepsi\u2019s over there because Pepsi\u2019s a big, evil corporation. As such, there is a meeting of a bunch of evil CEOs planning how they can get all the money for themselves in the next year or two, which is what they do at these CEO economic forums. Everybody knows that.<\/p>\n

These guys go and figure out how they can get more and more money for themselves, and find ways to screw their customers, and maybe even kill them at times. Anyway, they dragged Derek Jeter over there, and Derek Jeter was talking about Hurricane Sandy. He said (paraphrased), “We gotta do something. Something\u2019s causing these hurricanes. Something\u2019s causing them, and we gotta get going on global warming. We gotta get working on climate change.” This is very unusual for a professional athlete to throw himself head first into a political issue.<\/p>\n

Mickelson didn\u2019t even do this. Mickelson didn\u2019t join a cause. Mickelson didn\u2019t start advocating for lower taxes. Mickelson didn\u2019t try to change policy. Mickelson was just saying, “My gosh, I\u2019m keeping 38\u00c2\u00a2 out of every dollar. I think I might move,” and, for that, he\u2019s attacked. They\u2019re still after him. There\u2019s another story out today. The media jihad against Phil Mickelson isn\u2019t over. I\u2019ll get to that in a minute.<\/a> But Jeter has now thrown himself into the policy mix here with global warming, so I was thinking I was remiss yesterday.<\/p>\n

I should have said that, if Jeter\u2019s serious, he ought to put forth some ideas to help the cause, and one of those things would be what? No more night games in any sport. Look at all the electricity used. Have you ever been to a baseball or football game on an overcast day? They turn the lights on at the stadium in the daytime. Do you know why they do that? They do it for television. They do it to eliminate shadows for television. Even in the daytime, the lights are on at most of these stadiums.<\/line><\/p>\n

Do you know how much electricity that\u2019s burning, the CO2? Do you realize the carbon that we are putting into the air? So Jeter could at least come out for all day games. Maybe something Jeter could then say is, “A minimum of four people in every car traveling to a stadium! Baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer, it doesn\u2019t matter: minimum, four people in a car.” I mean, if he\u2019s gonna get involved here, he should go all the way. It\u2019s clear Pepsico dragged him over there because he\u2019s an endorser.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I then saw there\u2019s a Fox News story, “Sandy Victims Left Out in Cold During Arctic Blast — The brutal cold snap affecting much of the country is taking a devastating toll on victims of superstorm Sandy, many of whom are camped out in tent cities or living in homes without power, heat or running water.” I had no idea! I honestly thought that this had all — I don\u2019t know — been fixed, put back together. I thought the power was back on! “Hundreds of people in New York\u2019s Staten Island and along the Jersey Shore are still without basic necessities nearly three months after the storm hit.<\/p>\n

“‘Many families in Union Beach are using space heaters to warm upstairs,\u2019 said Jeanette Van Houten, a resident from the small New Jersey town that was among the hardest-hit communities. ‘There\u2019s people with no heat, no electric, but they are staying in the house because it\u2019s better than having to deal with FEMA and having to leave hotels every two weeks. There are families who have chosen to stay in their homes just to have some sort of normalcy,\u2019 she added.”<\/p>\n

I really thought — and again, from bottom of my heart: I\u2019m not trying to be sarcastic or sardonic. I actually thought it had been dealt with, because everybody involved at the government level said they were gonna expedite things and get it all fixed, and there hasn\u2019t been any reports of any problems. It\u2019s not like Hurricane Katrina. After Hurricane Katrina, we knew that nothing was put back together fast then because media was there every day and telling us. The people in the Northeast have just been abandoned. That week before the election, everybody drove in, flew in, had photo-ops, and made promises.<\/p>\n

Since then, Governor Christie has been doing a fundraiser with Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook. Has Springsteen done anything more for the Sandy victims? He was involved there. He cares a lot. I know that. I remember him saying so. But I\u2019m shocked. I mean, this is a liberal Mecca, a Democrat Mecca. Forget liberal. It\u2019s a Democrat Mecca, and still no heat. No heat, no running water after three months! I did not know it. Speaking of that, you know, I talk to you about Gawker now and then. It is a website.<\/line><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a blog. It\u2019s oriented toward gay issues. It\u2019s quite ribald. It\u2019s very, very dangerous to go there. I\u2019m not advocating you go, but I like the Gawker guys. They have a running back and forth with me, but one of the Gawker guys, Travis Okulski, posted a tweet about this. You know what he said? He\u2019s a young guy. He said, “I don\u2019t think I\u2019m exaggerating when I say that this cold weather is far worse than the Holocaust,” and he means it. He\u2019s dead serious<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can\u2019t tell you… I\u2019m not trying to overdo this. I can\u2019t tell you how surprised I was when I saw that graphic on Fox: “Sandy Victims Shiver in Northeast Without Heat.” I literally didn\u2019t know that that hasn\u2019t been fixed, that the electricity hasn\u2019t been restored and that the gasoline stations weren\u2019t open and food was being trucked in. I had no clue, folks. There hasn\u2019t been anything in the news about it out here. Maybe where you live, in the Northeast, there has been coverage every day, but there hasn\u2019t been here outside the Northeast.<\/p>\n

I saw public opinion polls saying Cuomo and Christie have the highest approval ratings they\u2019ve had in a long time, and I\u2019m not kidding. According to the polls, both Governor Cuomo and Christie are wildly popular right now. It just doesn\u2019t jibe with the idea that apparently nothing\u2019s been done; apparently so few repairs have been made that it\u2019s breathtakingly shocking. I mean, I haven\u2019t seen any pictures of FEMA trailers. I haven\u2019t seen the FEMA people on TV describing their actions with photo-ops, wanting credit for their work.<\/p>\n

The assumption was it was over. They fixed it. It was done. Now we got this global warming stuff going on out there. In the middle here of global warming — Obama made that a major part of his immacural address — what\u2019s wrong with a little cold weather? If we got global warming, shouldn\u2019t everybody be breathing a sigh of relief at the cold snap, then? It\u2019s cooling things off a little bit. I have to tell you, folks, I thought I knew a little starting today. I\u2019m really confused now.<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Maria in Margate, New Jersey, we\u2019re starting with you on the phones. It\u2019s great to have you here on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Mega 21st-anniversary-of-when-I-started-listening-to-you dittos. Thank you so much for taking my call.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I was just calling because I heard you talk about Hurricane Sandy and how they\u2019re telling us everything\u2019s good; we\u2019re all recovered. My house still has no power.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Maria, it\u2019s not —<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s going to be torn down.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Maria. Maria, wait. It\u2019s not that they\u2019re saying everything\u2019s fine. It\u2019s that they\u2019re not saying anything, and I just assumed it was fine. They had the concert. Christie met with the president. Cuomo said that he\u2019d never seen any better response. He couldn\u2019t have been happier with the attention the president has been giving, and there hasn\u2019t been anything in the news about it. Now I see today that all of these people like you don\u2019t have heat and running water and gasoline and stuff. I was shocked \u2019cause I literally thought that it was done, in the past, fixed, and everybody moved on.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, if I wrote a book about all the fraud, the waste, the abuse, the lies, everything, I could fill Atlas Shrugged.<\/line>RUSH: By who? Whose fraud and waste? Government, you mean?<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Government and people who\u2019ve taken advantage of people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Really?<\/p>\n

CALLER: They\u2019re are stealing things out of drop boxes and calling FEMA and saying —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Really?<\/p>\n

CALLER: — they don\u00c2\u2019t have insurance; calling FEMA saying they have these big losses and FEMA cuts them a check.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re kidding.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Ugh. I guess I could take your whole three hours and then some telling you all of this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ve not heard a word of this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, it\u2019s happening. It\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I haven\u2019t heard a word about FEMA. I just assumed that the power was back on and that everybody thus had heat and gasoline.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Nope.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s why I was stunned today when I saw this story.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And the concert and the Red Cross and everything? I called the people that had the concert asking where the proceeds were going, and they said not to individuals, to nonprofits. I\u2019ve called the Red Cross and I\u2019ve called the United Way because we didn\u2019t know what to do when we first found out we were homeless, and they all said, “You\u2019re not on enough government assistance to be on the priority list.” So we had to wait for shelter.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. What do you mean, money from the concert? The concert itself was supposed to fix it. What do you mean, money from the concert? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, where did all the money go?<\/p>\n

RUSH: They had all these people up there who cared, and they sang songs, and the next day it was supposed to be a lot better. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m just confused. I\u2019m sorry, Maria. I thought it was better.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: That concert that they did headlined by the Boss, Bruce Springsteen, and the guys netted $30 million. Thirty million dollars, the concert for Hurricane Sandy. Well, I figure $30 million, and we have not had one story about corruption in the cleanup effort. Well, our last caller was describing some, but there have not any media reports of any corruption, like we had for a full year after Hurricane Katrina. I remember Wolf Blitzer, I think it was Wolf Blitzer in the Katrina aftermath.<\/p>\n

It might\u2019ve been Shep Smith. I don\u2019t know. I get \u2019em confused. But Shep Smith openly wondered why so many of the victims of Hurricane Katrina were African-American. Well, we haven\u2019t seen any stories in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy about why so many victims are white. We haven\u2019t seen anything about victims at all, not since the week before the election.<\/p>\n

Look, I\u2019m not trying to make you all in the Northeast feel bad. I\u2019m just telling you: I was genuinely shocked when I saw the story today about how many of you still don\u2019t have power, or running water, and therefore you don\u2019t have heat in this cold snap. I didn\u2019t know. I guess, “What difference does it make now?” The election\u2019s over, the immaculation has taken place, so what difference does it make?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s John in Corsicana, Texas. It\u2019s great to have you on Open Line Friday. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. I\u2019m a longtime listener and it\u2019s honor to speak to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: We deal with disaster relief. I started in 1967 and began Southern Baptist work in 1970, and let me tell you: I have never seen a government that could put a bean on a plate.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s your faith-based organizations that come in after a disaster that get into the nitty-gritty of the personal world.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I love that. You\u2019ve never seen a government that could put a bean on a plate. (laughing) So you say it\u2019s the private sector groups that come in after disasters and really get the nitty-gritty done?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah. Red Cross, of course, is the first first responder. And then Salvation Army, which is a religious group, is a second major responder. Southern Baptists are the third largest responder. We have 1,500 units and 85,000 trained volunteers.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And we do most of the cooking for Red Cross wagons. We go out there and deliver stuff.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, what group are you with?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m with the Texas Baptist Men.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, okay, so Texas Baptist Men. When you say, “We deal in disaster relief,” that\u2019s your group.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. We\u2019re under the Southern Baptist Convention. That is the organization that\u2019s overall.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n

CALLER: We do international disaster relief as well as domestic.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you guys take guns to your disaster relief shifts?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. (laughing) No, but when I was working in Iran I saw an awful lot of the wrong ends of AK-47s.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ll bet. You worked in Iran? What do you mean, you worked in Iran? What did you do there?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, during Desert Storm I was in the mountains of Iran working with the Kurdish people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Were you military or were you over there for humanitarian efforts?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Humanitarian effort.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Humanitarian effort.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: And you had your gun with you then?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I didn\u2019t have one then, either.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s from Texas. He\u2019s from the South. Disaster relief? You can imagine if I asked him about slavery!<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you still believe in slavery? John, do you still believe in slavery?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ve worked in North Korea quite a bit also. Go ahead.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you still believe in slavery?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, absolutely not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Really? A lot of people would be surprised at that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, okay. John, had you heard anything…? I\u2019m serious. It\u2019s three months since that hurricane hit the Northeast. Have you heard anything in the Northeast about power not being restored yet?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Not in the news, but FEMA has to work through contractors locally. And, for instance, one contractor had to wait two hours for a union carpenter to do a fifteen-minute job on a house.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: So they are being held up that way.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So basically FEMA doesn\u2019t really do anything. They just subcontract everything, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And, um —<\/p>\n

RUSH: So it\u2019s the subcontractors\u2019 fault that nothing got done. I see.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s not the government\u2019s fault. Okay.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) I know some of them, and they\u2019re working as hard as they can, but they\u2019re limited by the work rules.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. So you don\u2019t take your gun to disaster relief like after Hurricane Katrina and you don\u2019t believe in slavery?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Just checking! Just checking!<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) I worked in Bosnia, Serbia, Herzegovina. I worked in North Korea. I never take a gun. I don\u2019t need one. I figure it\u2019s as close to heaven from wherever I am as it is from Dallas.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, God bless you, and I appreciate your call. I really do. Thanks very much, John. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019re welcome. You\u2019re prayed for daily in our family.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I thank you. I really do appreciate that. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Bill in Fresno, California. Bill, hi. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. What an honor.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have a question, and then I have a request, if I may.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: My question being, I heard a report that in New Jersey they passed a law that said any construction bid from a company that was nonunion would not even be considered. And my question is, how does that correlate with the proclamation of Obama\u2019s that everybody will be getting a fair shot?<\/p>\n

RUSH: It doesn\u2019t, and I think for the most part you\u2019re right. I have a story here from NJ.com back on the 14th of January. “Taking up its first substantial piece of legislation relating to Hurricane Sandy, the [New Jersey] state Senate today passed a bill that would let governments call for all union workers when hiring contractors to rebuild key pieces of infrastructure,” because there was this restriction. You can only be a member of a union. The relief workers had to be unionized or they couldn\u2019t work.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Doesn\u2019t compute.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Have you ever heard of the Jones Act and the BP oil spill?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Obama administration would not permit international relief workers to help because they were not union.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Politics comes first!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Politics comes first.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: I didn\u2019t think any of this mattered. I thought this had been fixed. I did. I\u2019m not making this up. Everybody thinks I\u2019m sitting here trying to stir things up, and I\u2019m not. I\u2019m being honest. When I saw the story that there are still people without power and without gasoline and limited food supplies three months after this when there are no news about this… I thought the problems had been fixed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
