The Obama Stimulus Didn\u2019t Fix Our Roads and Bridges?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Reuters has a story.  “America\u2019s Engineers Say Our Bridges and Highways Are in Big Trouble.”  Didn\u2019t we…? What was the stimulus bill for back in 2009?  You know, if I remember right, Obama\u2019s stimulus bill, didn\u2019t they sell that as road and bridge repair, school repair, a basic infrastructure repair?  Now, look, I\u2019m being facetious.  I know that absolutely nothing went to that.  Most of it went to union employees they wouldn\u2019t be fired during the Great Recession.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s a legitimate question. “America\u2019s Engineers Say Our Bridges and Highways Are in Big Trouble.” Who\u2019s been in charge of bridges and highways the last 7-1\/2 years, and who\u2019s had a bunch of legislation and a bunch of money appropriated “to fix roads and bridges”?  Why hasn\u2019t it been done?  <\/p>\n

MIT Lecture: Islamophobia Causes Global Warming<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: And then there\u2019s this.  “Is Islamophobia Accelerating Global Warming?”  That was the actual title of a lecture given earlier this week at MIT.  An MIT professor did a lecture on the proposition that Islamophobia is accelerating global warming.  The professor\u2019s name was Ghassan Hage.<\/p>\n

“Hage, born in Lebanon before moving to Australia, is the author of several books exploring race in Australia, including, White Nation and Against Paranoid Nationalism,” and he\u2019s out there actually trying to make the case that Islamophobia is accelerating global warming.  I mean, it\u2019s Looney Tunes out there, absolute unadulterated insanity, and that is a sign of how desperate the global warming crowd is.  <\/p>\n

Everything in Algore\u2019s Book and Movie Was Wrong<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: You know we had our Algore countdown clock<\/a>. Ten years Algore gave everybody. Somebody went back and took a look at all the areas Gore said were going to be destroyed, such as the North Pole would have no ice by now in the summer.<\/p>\n

It would all melt, which meant the polar bears were gonna die out.  Everything Gore predicted has not happened.  Everything.  He didn\u2019t get a single thing right.  See levels have not risen, destroying islands or cities.  The polar bears are flourishing.  There are more polar bears than there were ten years ago.  Arctic ice is not melting away.  It\u2019s not melting.  Everything in Algore\u2019s movie for which he won an Oscar and everything in the book on which the movie was based was just totally fraudulent.  None of it was true. <\/p>\n

You let that book be written by a Republican.<\/p>\n

WaPo Team of 20 Reporters Digging Dirt on Trump<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, you\u2019ve seen the story the Washington Post has assigned 20 reporters to dig up every speck of dirt on Donald Trump they can find.  Can you say backfire?  That\u2019s the kind of thing the average Trumpster learns that the only thing gonna get harmed when this is all over, the Washington Post.  They\u2019re gonna lose subscribers. They\u2019re gonna get trolled like crazy all over Twitter and Fakebook.  When\u2019s the last time you heard…? Bob Woodward admitted it! Bob Woodward… “We\u2019re uncovering everything!” <\/p>\n

Bob Woodward said that the New York real estate market is more complex than the CIA, and that\u2019s why we need all these reporters digging for all this dirt on Trump. When\u2019s the last time you heard the Washington Post suggest that even two reporters are gonna be assigned to find out whatever they can find about the Clintons?  You want to find out…? You want to do some digging? Dig into the Clinton Crime Family Foundation.  Dig into what\u2019s happening with that.  You don\u2019t need 20 reporters to do that. But you need 20 reporters to dig up all the dirt they can find on Trump. <\/p>\n

The problem is Trump has been a widely known and greatly loved public figure for 11 or 12 years.  I\u2019m telling you, I don\u2019t know what\u2019s gonna happen in the election, but I\u2019m just telling you: This is part of the playbook that everybody uses, and this kind of stuff, I don\u2019t think, is the kind of stuff that\u2019s gonna work against Trump.  They can try it, but this is all they know.  Got the Republican nominee; the objective is to destroy the Republican nominee.  Well, it\u2019s a playbook. The Democrat Party has a playbook: How you do it. <\/p>\n

The media is working in conjunction \u2019cause it\u2019s really not media. It\u2019s a branch the Democrat Party. They work together, and they employ these systems that they\u2019ve perfected over the years, and the systems have been built around working and being successful on traditional conventional politicians.  Traditional conventional Republican politicians, none of which is applicable to Trump.  Just like Hillary\u2019s ad that we ran by the super PAC, Hillary\u2019s ad, all these statements Trump\u2019s made about women.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s supposed to scare women, supposed to anger women, supposed to guarantee that no woman would ever vote for Trump. But it backfires on the super PAC, and they don\u2019t understand why.  ‘Cause it would work on any other Republican.  Why is it not gonna work on Trump?  Because they\u2019re trying to plug Trump into their system that they\u2019ve perfected, and he\u2019s outside it.  And the reason he is supported is, he\u2019s outside the realm of the political system that has evolved.  <\/p>\n

Your Host Out Monday and Tuesday, Mark Steyn Sits In<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH:  And a reminder, my friends, that I\u2019m away Monday and Tuesday.  Mark Steyn will be here both days.  This a scheduled couple of days off.  It\u2019s something that comes up every other year.  It\u2019s a charity golf outing, a genuine charity golf outing.  We\u2019re not delivering energy savings to the poor.  We\u2019re actually raising money for a really decent organization.  So, anyway, I\u2019ll be back here on Wednesday.  I\u2019ll be looking forward to it \u2019cause the weather where we\u2019re going absolutely stinks.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
