RUSH: I am Rush Limbaugh, and this the EIB Network. I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s already Tuesday. Ha-ha. Yes, I can. I\u2019m just kidding. Looking forward to talking to you on the program today for about a couple hours. <\/p>\n

I did something last night I never do. I had a nightmare that woke me up at exactly 3:58am. I don\u2019t remember it, but it was so bad I got up. I got up and I went back down to the “liberry,” for those of you in Rio Linda, and started doing some show prep work, putzing around on the iPod. I didn\u2019t stay up. I went back to bed about 5:30. So I feel like I\u2019ve gotten about an hour of sleep. I don\u2019t know what led to the nightmare, and I don\u2019t remember it. Normally you remember nightmares or dreams, I don\u2019t remember anything. I guess it\u2019s so bad I blocked it out. I don\u2019t know. I awoke with a start. I looked over at the clock. I quietly exited the bed and tiptoed down to the library. It\u2019s about an eighth of a mile walk. That didn\u2019t wake me up so I decided at 5:30 or so to get back in bed, and so here we are. Here we are, folks. And who knows what it was. I have no clue what it was. But I\u2019ve gone through the news today, and there\u2019s plenty of stuff in here that\u2019s qualified to be nightmare material. <\/p>\n

In no particular order: “A new national alert system is set to begin in New York City that will alert the public to emergencies via cell phones. Presidential and local emergency messages as well as Amber Alerts would appear on cell phones equipped with special chips and software.” Now, as the government is conducting hearings today against Apple and Google over what they\u2019re doing to track people\u2019s locations, here comes the regime saying, “You know what, the only way you\u2019re gonna know about emergencies is if we can get to you on your cell phone.” <\/p>\n

“National Emergency Alert System Set to Launch in NYC,” on cell phones. “The announcement of the new emergency alert system came in the wake of Osama bin Laden&rsquo;s death and an uptick in security and safety concerns around New York City.” Well, as long as they\u2019re going to do this, how about sending e-mails and texts to people on their cell phones as to the location where the cheapest gasoline is in their community? Yeah, the regime can send us a text or an e-mail when the recession is over. They can tell us where the nearest job openings are. I mean, why stop at emergencies? Or why just limit it to a few emergencies? You know, why not the nearest Starbucks, whatever it is that they want to push. Why use cell phones? Why don\u2019t we just go back to the old days where the regime got this big panel truck and they drove it through town with a couple speakers on the top, somebody inside, like an ice cream truck, put up loudspeakers so we can hear from our leaders everywhere. You know, homeless guy with a sandwich board. Why do they have to reach us only through cell phones? <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Michael Bloomberg, who said these alerts could help if Tea Partiers decide to bomb Times Square again. He didn\u2019t say it but you —<\/p>\n

BLOOMBERG: Last year we did foil an attempted car bombing in Times Square, an area that is very popular with tourists and theatergoers from out of town. And as excellent as our response was to this event, a planned system would have been another crucial tool that we could have used to inform and give instructions to people in the area.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, remember, he originally said that the Times Square bomber was probably a disgruntled Tea Party person unhappy with Obama\u2019s health care. Here\u2019s another portion of his remarks this morning on this.<\/p>\n

BLOOMBERG: As part of the FCC agreement with wireless carriers, its emergency alerts will override any network congestion. So even during wide-scale emergencies, when mobile networks are often overwhelmed with people trying to connect with others, we can have confidence that these emergency alerts will be received. <\/p>\n

RUSH: And of course the terrorists will receive them, too. Terrorists have cell phones. They will receive the alerts so they will find out what they\u2019re up to at the same time we find out what they\u2019re up to, and they\u2019re ecstatic over this. Chuck Rangel, I don\u2019t have time for this sound bite, but Charlie Rangel was at the press conference and said this is a classic illustration of how business and government partner and do magical things. Great example of that, he says. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, if they don\u2019t want us talking to each other, all they gotta do is flood these networks with never-ending emergency alerts. Well, no, no, it\u2019s true. If what Bloomberg says is true, they can override any network congestion, they can get through any mess, that means they can stop us from talking to each other, if they wanted, were so inclined, and you know how they feel about Tea Party Times Square bombers.<\/p>\n
