RUSH: There\u2019s something that always happens during these hurricanes, and that is that Media Matters for America takes something that I say way out of context, and they tweet it, and then the rest of the Drive-Bys see it, and they run with it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The essence of the Media Matters tweet is that I\u2019m telling everybody to ignore Hurricane Florence, that it isn\u2019t gonna be very bad, that all these details of the severity and potential damage are being made up just to further the climate change agenda! They are actually… They tweeted that. Of course, the Drive-Bys — Little Brian Stelter at CNN and people at MSNBC — are following suit and reporting that is what I said. Of course, I didn\u2019t say anything like that. So what I want to do to get started here, since the hurricane is still front-and-center news…<\/p>\n

And, by the way… Well, you just listen. We\u2019re gonna play a couple of minutes of what I did say yesterday<\/a>, and I want you to hear it. Now, the reason I\u2019m doing this… By the way, I\u2019m gonna get, “Why do you even waste time reacting?” It\u2019s not that I\u2019m wasting time reacting to them. I\u2019m trying to arm you with the truth for when you respond to some of this insanity either on Facebook or on Twitter. I\u2019m trying to arm you with what really happened.<\/p>\n

I know many of you were here listening yesterday and you heard it. But I want you to hear it again, and keep in mind that what\u2019s being said — what\u2019s being tweeted by Media Matters and the left — is I\u2019m telling people that this hurricane is not nearly as big as they\u2019re saying and I\u2019m telling people to ignore the warnings because all of this is nothing other than the left trying to hype climate change. Now, you know how things happen in our culture today.<\/p>\n

People read these lies and they tweet them out and retweet them and people end up believing it, and I just want you to be armed and be able to refute it. So here is the essence of what I said yesterday — which was, I must say sensitive, in touch, brilliant, analytical, and correct. So here it is. This is how you are now armed to deal with this insanity that not just about me, but about pretty much anybody here who goes against the leftist conventional wisdom.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m not making a comment on this hurricane. Everybody understand that? I\u2019ve got witnesses here. I got people who can back me up! Of all the hurricanes that we have lived through here, two of them were what we were expecting. The others never got as forceful, damaging, or as big as we were led to believe. Many of them did not hit where we were told they were gonna hit. They hit, but not where we were first told. My experience with hurricanes is that they are\u2026 By the way, no matter\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s a Category 1, it\u2019s still devastating. I don\u2019t want anybody misunderstand me here. But my experience is the storms, when they finally get to where they\u2019re going, are not nearly as big and powerful or strong or as wide as original warnings lead people to believe. I think part of that is just making sure people are ready. It\u2019s shouting \u201cfire\u201d in a crowded theater because even with all the news, there are people that still don\u2019t know what\u2019s coming their way because they just miss it, don\u2019t pay attention. But this one is\u2026<\/p>\n

As it sits now and as it sat out there, if it is what they\u2019re reporting it to be, it\u2019s devastating. It\u2019s a Category 3 or Category 4. The worst part of it is\u2026 Look at Hurricane Hugo. Hurricane Hugo in a 24-hour period went from the South Carolina coast all the way up to Canada. This hurricane is not supposed to. In a 24-hour period, it isn\u2019t gonna move a hundred miles. It could dump 30 inches of rain on people if they are right about everything they\u2019re saying. There\u2019s no place that can handle 30 inches of rain without a bunch of trouble, without a bunch of damage. …<\/p>\n

Everybody\u2019s got their eyes on this, especially those that are in the area, \u2019cause when they tell you it\u2019s gonna stall and dump 30 inches of rain on you, then you have serious decisions to make as to whether you leave or not. If you stay? (chuckles) Where do you go to avoid 30 inches of rain in a relatively short period of time? We just sit here and hope that it\u2019s not as bad when it hits, that it\u2019s not as big, that it\u2019s not as powerful, and it\u2019s not as damaging.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And that is what I said. Now, during my discussion yesterday, I did mention the fact that over the years many hurricanes have been hyped because everything in our culture has been politicized, as has weather forecasting. Weather forecasting and the meteorological society is practically dominated now by leftist people with a political bent who believe in climate change. So in many cases big storms like this are happily accepted because they help prove a political point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
