CALLER: One: About a week ago you said that Millennials are eventually gonna find what the truth is about all the lies that are being said about the fake news and global climate change. And then yesterday you said about cold killing more than warmth. I want to tie that together with Winston Churchill\u2019s quote (sic)<\/a> of if in your youth you aren\u2019t a liberal, you have no heart. But if by middle-age you aren\u2019t a conservative, you have no brain. So the question is: How do we shine the light of truth onto the climate change issue? When you started that yesterday with a fact about cold versus warmth.<\/p>\nRUSH: Yes, more people die from the cold. It\u2019s something like 10 or 20 times more people die from the cold than from heat. It\u2019s not even close.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: But a lot of the things that we conservatives hear in the news are not facts and data. They\u2019re emotion about climate change. We need to get the facts out, and I\u2019m looking at a quote from a book here. It\u2019s called Inconvenient Facts, where it talks about this, that 20 times the amount of people die from cold versus heat.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: This book has all the detail in it that can be very beneficial for your viewers to go through all of the myths and lies about what Algore has said. I mean, it really reveals the truth of climate change like nothing ever has before.<\/p>\n
The key to liberalism, the key to selling socialism is to make everybody a victim of the calamity, a victim of Republicans, a victim of climate change. Now, in the case of climate change, not only are people victims, but they are the cause. But they didn\u2019t know it! So there\u2019s redemption possible. “You didn\u2019t know! When you were barbecuing all those times, you didn\u2019t know! When you were driving your SUV, you didn\u2019t know. When you kept the thermostat at 70, you didn\u2019t know that you were destroying the planet, and you\u2019ve helped destroy the planet.<\/p>\n “But now there\u2019s redemption! You can save the planet if you\u2019ll put the thermostat at 78 and not buy the SUV — and accept, by the way, these massive carbon tax increases we have planned over here.” It\u2019s purely emotional. You tell a Millennial, “You know, more people die when it\u2019s cold? More people die from extreme cold than extreme heat?” It won\u2019t register. They\u2019ll hear it. It won\u2019t compute. It doesn\u2019t fit. This is why the analogy I gave yesterday as a means of trying to reach \u2019em was cable TV. They hate cable TV. They despise it, and not just Millennials; a lot of people do.<\/p>\n But focusing on Millennials, they despise cable TV. Why? Because they\u2019re forced to pay exorbitant prices for things are not gonna watch. They\u2019ve got the basic tier, and that\u2019s got all kinds of stuff they\u2019re never gonna watch, and then if they want HBO — that\u2019s what they really want! If they want HBO, then they gotta pay X additional. But it\u2019s not just HBO they get. They get a bunch of other channels in that mix they\u2019re never gonna watch just to get HBO. And then if they want to watch something else, then that\u2019s gonna get added. And by the time they\u2019re finished, they\u2019re paying a bunch of money they hate spending for 90% of the channels they\u2019re never gonna watch.<\/p>\n Well, is that not exactly what health care is? Obama\u2019s essential health benefits are identical to the way cable TV is sold. You have to buy policies that you\u2019ll never use. If you\u2019re a man 70 years old, you have to have a maternity rider on your policy. It\u2019s an Obama essential health benefit. If you\u2019re male, you have to buy contraception. There\u2019s all kinds of these things in there. Ted Cruz has come along and said, “I want to modify this. We want to strip Obamacare down, health care down, to its bare bones essentials.”<\/p>\n So I told Senator Cruz you gotta find a way to put sustainability into your health care plan. But I still think because everything liberals, particularly Millennials, are being told is a lie, the day is gonna come where they\u2019re gonna realize it. That\u2019s, by the way, another little addendum here. One of the schemes of health care is to promise all these catastrophes long after everybody alive today is dead. “In the next 60 to 70 years the sea levels of Manhattan will be overwhelming The Empire State Building.” Right.<\/p>\n Well, nobody alive — well, very few today are gonna be adults in 70 years to know whether or not the prediction is true. They never predict a catastrophe next week, next year, or next decade. Notice that? It\u2019s always so far out than most people aren\u2019t gonna be alive to know that it was a lie and didn\u2019t happen. So the attack here has to point all of that out.<\/p>\n I still think that at some point there\u2019s so many outrageous lies in just the single issue of climate change, and there\u2019s so many malicious lies about socialism and economics, that the day is going to happen where today\u2019s 25-year-old and 33-year-old is gonna realize that they were lying through their teeth. I don\u2019t know how old they\u2019re gonna be when it happens, but it is gonna happen because they are being lied to, I mean, hook, line, and sinker. And everything they\u2019re investing in, in terms believing, isn\u2019t gonna happen.<\/p>\n Now, it\u2019s another thing whether they admit that they\u2019ve been lied to or whether they\u2019re too embarrassed to admit that they fell for the lies. That\u2019s a whole ‘nother thing. Interestingly, the generation following the Millennials, Generation Z, this is the 9\/11 generation, these people, these kids, Generation Z, have never known economic growth. They have never known economic abundance.<\/p>\n They have grown up constantly hearing about how Republicans are gonna murder people, Republicans are gonna starve people, Republicans are gonna kill people. They have grown up hearing that militant Islam is no such thing. They\u2019ve grown up hearing that America is a rotten place. They\u2019ve grown up hearing that America is the problem of the world. I\u2019m talking about kids that are not yet 20. They have grown up in the era of Obama where America was considered to be ill-conceived, immoral, unjust, and they\u2019ve gotten a steady diet of it.<\/p>\n Now, remember my old theory of many years ago that every three or four generations you get a shift away from whatever destruction is taking place. That eventually a generation\u2019s gonna be born that is going to reject the way its parents and grandparents lived. And Generation Z could be that generation. The Millennials are not. The Millennials are signing on to it hook, line, and sinker.<\/p>\n The Millennials are buying every lie they\u2019re being told. They\u2019re soaking up every misconception and every distortion that they\u2019re being fed. Not all of them, but I mean good a number of them are. Anyway, let me take a break here \u2019cause I\u2019m a little bit long. I appreciate the call, Bob.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RUSH: Every three or four generations you get a shift away from whatever destruction is taking place, that eventually a generation\u2019s gonna be born that is going to reject the way its parents and grandparents lived.

<\/a>RUSH: You know, Bob, I understand what you\u2019re saying about facts and how they are the ultimate weapon. I\u2019ve always believed that, and I\u2019ve employed that belief in the structure and conduct of this program. It has been fact-based in any number of ways. The problem with liberalism is it\u2019s not fact-based, and the people that attach themselves to liberalism or socialism are not doing it intellectually. It\u2019s a purely emotional attachment, and it\u2019s rooted in things like “equality” and “fairness” and “sustainability.”<\/a> They will accept lie after lie after lie told from Algore by Algore if there are pictures accompanying the lies.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MillennialsFREE.jpg\")
The left portrayed that as Cruz wants to take away your health care. I said no. Cruz wants to streamline your health care like you want to streamline cable. I try to come up with analogies, and then we gotta find a way to work the word “sustainable” in because that\u2019s the magic word for Millennials. I\u2019ve studied it. The reason they like wind power and solar is because they bought the silly notion that it\u2019s renewable. They bought the notion that it works and because they\u2019ve been told it\u2019s sustainable, it is ongoing. We\u2019ll never run out of it. And it\u2019s fair and equally distributed. All of it\u2019s lies. All of it\u2019s bogus.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-018.jpg\")
You know what they\u2019re doing? They\u2019re not like the Millennials. They\u2019re playing video games, and it turns out that studies of Generation Z show that most of them are not interested in hearing all this claptrap, and the majority of them lean toward Libertarianism. They\u2019ve grown up being swamped every day in the news they consume about government this, government that, everything is negative. They don\u2019t want to hear it.<\/p>\n
