Now, about this Live Earth stuff, I\u2019ve got a couple stories, they\u2019re just hilarious, but the real question, look at the lineup. I don\u2019t see any big names. Now, it\u2019s Saturday, and NBC\u2019s got three hours of primetime telecasting of this thing to do Saturday night, and I don\u2019t know what they\u2019re going to do to fill it. It\u2019s a whole 18-hour extravaganza, and I think on Bravo, which they own, NBC Universal owns, they\u2019re going to do the whole thing. Their HD channel, Universal HD is going to have significant coverage. But I mean I thought this was the most important issue of our lifetime, global warming, climate change, saving the planet, where are the big names? The no-nukes concert had a better lineup than this. Live Aid had a better lineup than this. This is pathetic. Where is Bruce Springsteen? Springsteen is nowhere around. Where is Joan Baez, well known communist sympathizer and anti-tax crusader? Where\u2019s Eric Clapton? Annie Lennox, who will sign up for anything, is not on this thing. If Annie Lennox is not on the bill, there\u2019s trouble and the question is, is this a rejection of Gore or is this a rejection of the issue? People just not thinking it\u2019s a big deal. <\/p>\n

There is this young 21-year-old group, the Arctic Monkeys. When I saw this headline, ‘Arctic Monkeys shiver at Live Earth hypocrisy,\u2019 I never heard of the Arctic Monkeys. So I was thinking, monkeys in the arctic, and I was picturing monkeys shivering, and the headline made no sense, all because of my ignorance, na&iuml;vet&eacute; about the name of this group. But this group, the Arctic Monkeys, they don\u2019t even understand what the big deal is. ‘Why do people listen to us? We\u2019re 21 year old kids; we\u2019re a rock band. We don\u2019t know anything more than anybody else does. Why do people listen? What does a rock concert have to do with this?\u2019 I\u2019ve told you people, and there\u2019s a companion story to this later on in the stack, I have told you, when society appears to be crumbling from cultural and moral rot and decay, eventually a generation is born that gets old and sees what it\u2019s about to inherit as adults and says, ‘Uh-uh, we ain\u2019t putting up with this. We\u2019re not going to live this way. We\u2019re not going to live the way our parents did. We want a little more civility and solidity in our lives.\u2019 I, frankly, don\u2019t remember a young rock group, 21-year-old kids, having this kind of maturity about the political nature of what they do. I\u2019ll give you all the details of this, and there\u2019s also a funny as hell story. Wembley stadium is where the London venue is, and PETA is all over them not to serve hot dogs and hamburgers, no meat during the concert there. And of course others are worried about the carbon footprint that the whole thing is going to make, and how to offset it, which of course isn\u2019t a problem. <\/p>\n\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: ‘Live Earth concerts on Saturday meant to spur action to fight global warming must first tackle another environmental hazard — mountains of trash and thousands of tons of greenhouse gases caused by the events. John Rego, environmental adviser for the eight concerts meant to rock the world around the clock on a rolling basis from Sydney to New York and organized by an alliance led by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, said, ‘We want to set a new global standard for dealing with waste and recycling.” Well then, don\u2019t create any. Don\u2019t do the series of concerts! It\u2019s very simple. ‘Live Earth needs to lead by example to convince people to change their lifestyles in the long term to confront a climate crisis caused by rising emissions of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, Rego told Reuters. Concert props may live on long after stars such as Madonna, Shakira and Bon Jovi have left the stage. … Even Live Earth is sometimes cautious. Its green guidelines say, for instance, that staff ground travel will be by hybrid or high efficiency vehicles ‘where possible.\u2019 At typical concerts, more than half the greenhouse gases are emitted by thousands of people traveling to the venues by bus, train, subway or car. Those totals can only be estimated. ‘It\u2019s a dilemma for Live Earth — they have to create carbon to save carbon,\u2019 said Michael Buick, spokesman of Climate Care.\u2019 Now, that\u2019s just insane! They have to create carbon to save carbon. That\u2019s the whole point of why this is a waste of time. <\/line><\/p>\n

They\u2019re a bunch of hypocrites. If you want a concert, go do the concert, if you want to have a worldwide series of concerts, but don\u2019t sit here and say you\u2019re setting news standards for carbon emissions. You\u2019re not going to have one iota\u2019s worth of effect on the climate of the planet. ”It\u2019s a dilemma for Live Earth — they have to create carbon to save carbon,\u2019 said Michael Buick, spokesman of Climate Care which helps invest in clean energy to offset greenhouse gases.\u2019 This is so typical of these proponents. They go out and they don\u2019t reduce their emissions at all. They don\u2019t reduce the amount they pollute. They just say, ‘Well, I\u2019ll invest in these companies that plant trees and I\u2019ll make up for it that way,\u2019 while demanding everybody else reduce their lifestyles and change the way they live. Now, let me give you the details about this group, the Arctic Monkeys. ‘Rock group Arctic Monkeys have become the latest music industry stars to question whether the performers taking part in Live Earth on Saturday are suitable climate change activists. ‘It\u2019s a bit patronising for us 21 year olds to try to start to change the world,\u2019 said Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders, explaining why the group is not on the bill at any of Al Gore\u2019s charity concerts. ‘Especially when we\u2019re using enough power for 10 houses just for (stage) lighting. It\u2019d be a bit hypocritical,\u2019 he told AFP in an interview before a concert in Paris.\u2019 He\u2019s exactly right. <\/p>\n

This is a 21-year-old who\u2019s got more smarts on this than Algore does. The bass player, Nick O\u2019Malley said, ‘And we\u2019re always jetting off on aeroplanes!\u2019 Who are we to be telling people about cutting back and global warming? ‘Someone asked us to give a quote about what was happening in Sheffield and it\u2019s like ‘who cares what we think about what\u2019s happening\u2019?\u2019 added Helders. ‘There\u2019s more important people who can have an opinion. Why does it make us have an opinion because we\u2019re in a band?\u2019 The group, whose first record was the fastest-selling debut album in British history, will clock up thousands of air miles — in normal airliners not private jets, they say — during their tour to Asia and Australia in the next few months. They are not the only stars to take a cynical view of Live Earth. … Many of the biggest acts have questionable environmental credentials — the car-loving rapper Snoop Dogg appeared in a Chrysler commercial last year.\u2019 Bob Geldof got in a public spat with Algore. Geldof, from the Boomtown Rats, and he got this whole thing started with Live Aid, to stop the famine in Ethiopia, which of course was not based on anything he could fix with a concert, but it made everybody feel good. Geldof said, ‘Why is Gore actually organizing these things?\u2019 It doesn\u2019t make any sense. <\/p>\n

‘Roger Daltrey, singer from 1970s British rock band The Who, told British newspaper The Sun in May that ‘the last thing the planet needs is a rock concert.\u2019 And the singer from 80s pop sensations The Pet Shop Boys, Neil Tennant, attacked the arrogance of pop stars who put themselves forward as role-models. ‘I\u2019ve always been against the idea of rock stars lecturing people as if they know something the rest of us don\u2019t.” This is unheralded. You put together a politically oriented rock concert and the biggest of the big are clamoring to get there. You can\u2019t keep \u2019em outta there. They are all wanting you to know how serious they are, and how helpful this event is, and how important it is to the virtual survivability of mankind and our planet and so forth. Now you\u2019ve got the Arctic Monkeys and a couple 21-year-olds, you\u2019ve got Roger Daltrey, Bob Geldof — Geldof may just be jealous here that Gore is encroaching on his whole theme, territory. Who knows. These guys all have performer\u2019s egos. When you have a performer\u2019s ego you\u2019re susceptible to envy and jealous. But this is pretty new for me for these people to be coming out and opposing this and saying it\u2019s worthless and that we\u2019re a bunch of hypocrites if we go out and make statements with all the power that we use putting on these concerts. Where\u2019s Barbra Streisand? Where is Springsteen? Where are the big names? Where are the political activists that you would expect to be on stage preaching to everybody? I\u2019m just curious. Is it a rejection of the issue or is it a rejection of Algore? <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to demonstrate for you what a bunch of genuine morons all of these — you know, the environmentalist wackos, the animal rights people, the militant vegetarians, all of these groups supposedly oriented toward saving the planet are just a bunch of libs. These organizations are just different names to make it look like that they have a specific instance or issue that they\u2019re pushing, but they\u2019re all libs and they all want to run your life. They all want to control you. They are basically miserable people that haven\u2019t amounted to anything. They want to share their misery with everybody else and try to make as many other people miserable as possible, and then they get obsessed with the notion that they\u2019re better than everybody else because they care more. They wear all these ribbons, the AIDS ribbon, blue ribbons, wear all these different colored ribbons. By wearing those ribbons, they\u2019re saying, ‘I care more than you do. I\u2019m a better person because I care more.\u2019 So PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is all over the organizers of Live Earth at Wembley, said, ‘Don\u2019t sell hot dogs, don\u2019t sell any meat, don\u2019t sell hamburgers in the concession stands, don\u2019t sell any of that stuff.\u2019 <\/p>\n

‘Peta campaigner Yvonne Taylor said that it would be ‘hypocritical\u2019 if the damage caused by the industry was overlooked at the concert, and said that the group had written to the managing director of Wembley Stadium, Alex Horne, urging him not to sell meat at the event. She said: ‘There\u2019s no such thing as a meat eating environmentalist.” Now, that\u2019s a pretty broad statement. Let\u2019s examine it. If that\u2019s true, what does that tell us about them? There\u2019s no such thing as a meat-eating environmentalist? Now, what she means, I\u2019m sure that some of you out there care about the planet and you\u2019re not filthy and you\u2019re not polluters, and you eat beef, but that\u2019s not what they mean by environmentalists. By environmentalist they mean wacko activist socialist types that are committed to running as many people\u2019s lives as possible so as to ruin as many people\u2019s lives as possible, so that they can share having their own lives ruined with others whose lives they do ruin. It\u2019s just misery loves company with these people, but they\u2019re dangerous because they\u2019re unrelenting, and they don\u2019t work. They fund-raise. They live off the donations of others who are simply giving them money to, A, shut \u2019em up, and B, feel good about themselves at the same time. <\/p>\n

‘We\u2019re saying, it\u2019s all a very good cause and obviously we\u2019re very supportive, but one thing seems to have been missed, which is that even the UN say that the meat industry causes more greenhouse gases than all the cars, trucks, ships and planes in the world combined.\u2019 Well, if that\u2019s the case, then your problem is with God. Oop, sorry. They don\u2019t believe in that God. No such thing as a meat-eating environmentalist. Could we then assume that every vegetarian is an environmentalist and is a wacko environmentalist? Could we assume that? Well, I don\u2019t know. She\u2019s the authority here, Snerdley. You may have anecdotal evidence to support the contention that vegetarians are not environmentalist wackos, but she\u2019s the authority, you\u2019re not, even though you\u2019re not one. I love it when these people open up. I love it when they tell us who they are. <\/p>\n

To the phones. Ben in Bakersfield, California, glad you called, sir, and welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My life is complete. I\u2019m talking to the big one.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I appreciate that. I thank you very much, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My mind, when you first talked about all the trash, went to Dan\u2019s Bake Sale.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There wasn\u2019t any trash.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, after, I\u2019m saying —<\/p>\n

RUSH: There wasn\u2019t any trash at Dan\u2019s Bake Sale. Well, a couple people, maybe, but —<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s what I\u2019m saying, it\u2019s the complete opposite.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, I misunderstood you. Yes, there wasn\u2019t any mess.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They cleaned up after themselves.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Absolutely right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Just like in scouts, we learned in scouts, you leave the place cleaner than you found it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. You know, that\u2019s a good point. If you want to save the environment and do a concert, make sure the audience is conservatives.<\/p>\n

CALLER: There you go.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And we are the ones, by the way, who are mostly accused of not caring and being filthy polluters and using more than our fair share of all these resources. Good point. Great reminder there. I appreciate that, Ben. This is Bill in Reading, Pennsylvania. Great to have you on the program, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How do you do, sir? I guess I\u2019ll get straight to my point. I\u2019m taking issue, although I\u2019m against the Live Earth concerts in general, I don\u2019t agree with you when you say there aren\u2019t any big performers there, and what I\u2019m basing those on, I\u2019m looking at a e-mail ad from XM, who is broadcasting the concerts, and I see some names that I think are big on there, like in London I see Genesis, Duran Duran —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Has-beens, has-beens, they\u2019re has-beens. They may be a good group, but these are not current — they\u2019re has-beens — Duran Duran, their career bombed out when they sang View to a Kill, the theme song to that James Bond movie. Okay, keep going. This is interesting. Who else is on the list?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. The Police, Dave Matthews, Ludacris —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, wait. The Police.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They broke up years ago. The Police is basically one guy, Sting —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, but Sting is singing with them —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know Sting got back together with them, but it\u2019s not lighting any fires out there. Will you hang on just a second? When you are groaning about in there? Snerdley is sending me facial — they\u2019re has-beens. Snerdley is a music aficionado. He kind of agrees with you here, Bill. But, come on, keep going on the list. You said David Matthews and Ludacris.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Ludacris, Kelly Clarkson.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yip yip yip yip yahoo. We\u2019re still not hearing the A-list.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, to me — I disagree with the A-list. Maybe that\u2019s part of the problem.<\/p>\n

RUSH: How can you have Kelly Clarkson without Paula Abdul? And Simon Cowell. Where are the big names in music these days? Where are the heavy hitters? Where\u2019s Dylan?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Is Paula Abdul still a big name in music? I thought she just did whatever that show is.<\/p>\n

RUSH: American Idol.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. The black guy, which I can\u2019t understand why they\u2019re a big group, I see \u2019em on commercials all the time.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Bon Jovi, did I mention —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Bon Jovi, I mean Bon Jovi is probably the biggest name on the list, as far as I\u2019m concerned, the most relevant. I mean, the guy owns a little football team, he shows up at NFL concerts, he\u2019s a good little activist out there. That\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about. Where are these other guys? Where are the Streisands, where are the Springsteens, where are the save the earth crowd? Where are the people that you would think would be trumpeting the political message of this whole concert idea?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I see. So you\u2019re saying that these groups I\u2019m mentioning aren\u2019t ones that are really —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Not only that, I\u2019m just saying, you know, the anti-nuke concert had a bigger play list than this, or playbill, and this is a whole bunch of different concerts.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Uh-huh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t see the big players, the big activists.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I see some big players, not big activists —<\/p>\n

RUSH: For example, consult your list there, Bill, and tell me if U2 is there —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t see U2.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You don\u2019t see U2. Who is the front man for U2?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Bono.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Bono. And what\u2019s Bono trying to do? Single-handedly get other people to save Africa.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What\u2019s your real criteria on what are big names in the concerts? Do they have to be the activists also?<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s an activist concert. The whole point of this is activism. Why do this? Where\u2019s Willie Nelson? There\u2019s a guy — Farm Aid, all these things, where\u2019s Paul McCartney? Where\u2019s Ringo Starr? They may as well have gone out and try to find Jim Morrison to show up.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Uh-huh. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Come on, baby, light my fire.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Those stars aren\u2019t on, but to me those are still big groups on the list.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Music is a funny thing. There\u2019s no right or wrong in it. You might like Chinese opera and I don\u2019t, doesn\u2019t make your tastes bad or wrong, just makes \u2019em different than mine. So if you\u2019re going to assign B-list talent as A-list talent then they are A-list to you. That\u2019s one of the great things about it, everybody is a critic, and look, I got nothing against us Genesis, we play a lot of Genesis songs in our bumper rotation here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I like them to. I like \u2019em better with Pete Gabriel, and Peter Gabriel is not with them.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but is Phil Collins still with them?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, Phil Collins, he\u2019s a big commercial guy, which I —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you call here and gripe at me. You\u2019re complaining that all these guys are too commercial.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Where did I say I was complaining? I was just disagreeing for discussion.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019re complaining. I asked you if you like Genesis and Phil Collins, ‘Ah, a little too commercial.\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, if you asked me, that\u2019s what I said.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I deal with whiners and complainers all day, part of my job, I can spot \u2019em.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You think that\u2019s whining and complaining? You asked me my opinion and I gave it to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, it\u2019s an observation. I\u2019ll grant you that. But, look, are you going to watch it? That\u2019s the point.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Ah, probably not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Not that big a deal —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why aren\u2019t you going to watch it? Because the talent\u2019s not big enough, that\u2019s why you\u2019re not going to watch it. (Laughing.)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Because I have better things to do, that\u2019s why. (Laughing.)<\/p>\n

RUSH: (Laughing.) Good. That means you have better things to do than be preached to as well. Well, look, Bill, I\u2019m glad you called.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Maybe I spoke too soon, ladies and gentlemen. I\u2019ve just been pointed to a story on the UK Guardian that Paul McCartney is thinking about closing the London show at Wembley Stadium. It hasn\u2019t been decided yet. ”It\u2019s true that Paul has been asked to take part,\u2019 a source revealed. ‘He said that the cause is very close to his heart. He\u2019s very impressed with what Algore has been doing to highlight it, but he\u2019s still deciding whether he can do it.” Whether he can do it at the moment? It\u2019s two days from now. Snerdley says he\u2019s got a new album out, he\u2019ll be there. He\u2019s going to close the show. If he doesn\u2019t do it, they\u2019re going to get Madonna to close the show. When you think about Madonna the last thing you think about Madonna is green, in terms of environmental type credentials. How many houses does she own? She owns seven or eight houses, stables, horse manure all over the property. I know it\u2019s fertilizer, but at any rate, why is McCartney waiting to decide two days away? Could be a matter of money. Could be he\u2019s just not thrilled with the bill and if he shows up, he would be the only big name there, make these other guys look like sandbox beginners. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Clifford in Columbus, Ohio, you\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mr. Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Conservative Christian dittos to you, sir.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Just real quick, I was listening to you talk about Algore, Jr., and how merciful that was. I keep thinking that Mr. Franken would never have given you that kind of room, but to the point, I keep getting the impression that you\u2019re asking why the A people aren\u2019t showing up, Streisand, things like that, because I think that they know that Algore is going to be announcing himself for president, or running as president, and I keep wondering if these live concerts are going to be something along the line as a fundraiser for him. Does he get a percentage? You say follow the money, professor. I\u2019m trying to follow the money.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, all that remains to be seen. I don\u2019t know what the financial arrangements of this thing are. They\u2019re obviously huge. Bands have to be paid. They\u2019re not doing it gratis. The concessionaires have to be paid. The people are buying tickets to these things I suppose. But what Algore is interested in it is unknown to me. I have a number of people, friends of mine, who think he\u2019s going to announce at Giants Stadium on Saturday. Live Earth concert in New York is at Giants Stadium over in the Meadowlands. I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s going to, especially now with what happened with his son. He\u2019s canceled all the interviews, by the way. He did the Today show today. He did a radio interview. He\u2019s canceled everything else citing scheduling conflicts, but these were previously scheduled interviews to promote Live Earth. So I think this is not the first incident with his son, and this is a problem they\u2019ve got to focus on. Running for president is all about you, whoever does it. It\u2019s all about you. Given the history of repeat problems that his son has had, I\u2019m thinking — and this is just a wild guess — but if you start canceling the interviews to promote this big thing, and you were planning on announcing for the presidency at this big thing, this could change it. But as to whether or not he announces or not here at Live Earth or whether he does it some other time still doesn\u2019t explain why the big names aren\u2019t showing up. If they thought he was going to announce, they would want to be there. This the bunch that thinks the only way to save the country and the world is for Algore to run for president again and this time to win and not have the election stolen from him, quote, unquote.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I keep thinking that\u2019s why Barbra Streisand is not going to be announcing. Her tickets were so expensive the last time she announced her retirement tour —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, the last time she did a retirement tour, right. (Laughing.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
