RUSH: From the Discovery Channel: ‘Climate change could one day affect the cost and quality of dishes traditionally served for Thanksgiving Day dinner, suggests a recent paper in the journal Food Research International. Pasty, dry turkey meat along with expensive fruits, vegetables and potatoes could be on the horizon if more variable extremes in regional weather patterns continue as a likely result of [the fraud of] climate change, indicates author Neville Gregory.\u2019 Well, we do know that thanks to putting ethanol in the gasoline, turkeys will cost more, as well as corn, maize…<\/line> <\/line>By the way, Obama pardoned the turkey today, and he had the little girls out there, his two daughters were out there, and they pardoned the Thanksgiving turkey. No word on whether or not the turkey pardoned Obama. <\/line> <\/line>Now, the ‘usual star the Thanksgiving Day feast\u2019 is a roast turkey, and according to this nutcase, it ‘could suffer in quality\u2019 as a result of climate change. ”Climate change could affect meat quality in two ways,\u2019 [said Neville] Gregory, a professor in animal welfare physiology at the University of London\u2019s Royal Veterinary College[.]\u2019 So here we\u2019ve got a guy that teaches people how to be vets, and an animal welfare physiology professor, talking to us about climate change, how it\u2019s gonna screw up turkeys. He said, ‘First, there are direct effects on organ and muscle metabolism during heat exposure which can persist after slaughter.\u2019 So we slaughter the turkeys, but because of climate change, global warming, and all this heat, organ and muscle metabolism will continue and take what was juicy bird, make it dry and pasty. <\/line> <\/line>‘Prior studies\u2019 — yes, people have been studying this — ‘have demonstrated that heat stress can increase the risks of what\u2019s known as ‘pale, soft, exudative\u2019 (PSE) meat. According to Purdue University Animal Sciences, PSE meat ‘is characterized by its pale color, lack of firmness, and fluid dripping from its cut surfaces. When cooked, this meat lacks the juiciness of normal meat.” All of this on the horizon due to the fraud of climate change. ‘As a second climate change impact, Gregory believes ‘changes in livestock and poultry management practices in response to hazards that stem from climate change could indirectly lead to changes in meat quality.” I\u2019m not kidding you! I\u2019m not making it up! On Thanksgiving eve, here comes a big story from the Discovery Channel on how climate change will destroy Thanksgiving meals.<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mike in Brownstown, Indiana. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Mr. Limbaugh. I\u2019d like to talk about the turkey.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You go right ahead. It\u2019s Thanksgiving eve.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, those turkeys. Anyway, I\u2019m a Purdue graduate from West Lafayette, Indiana, and that was in the seventies. I\u2019m 57 years old now, and I\u2019m still in agriculture but no longer raising livestock.<\/p>\n

RUSH: When you look back on your college years, how valuable to you was your degree?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It really didn\u2019t become that valuable until 20 years ago. I went back to the family farm, and whatever dad done, we just followed right along and I used that education to further the farm. He sold the farm 20 years ago, and I switched gears and went into the lawn business. And I\u2019m a chemical lawn specialist. I\u2019d like to say an environmentalist to some extent.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, if you want to be called that, go for it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) I\u2019m not a tree hugger necessarily.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what they all say.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. But the point was I had some animal science classes, and this was in the seventies, and we all got the opportunity to watch \u2019em butcher hogs right there on campus. And they took this meat and laid it out, and they had five different hogs laying there, and they pointed out especially that light colored meat and explained the texture of it and how watery it was and some of us boys were gonna go back to the food industry —<\/p>\n

RUSH: But why was this?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Pardon me?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why was this?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why was it pale, why was it watery?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It was a genetic issue. Some of the livestock was perfect.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You mean it had nothing to do with global warming?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Gosh, no. This guy who\u2019s talking about that needs to do some research because this is in the seventies before any global warming was —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, back then it was global cooling. An ice age was coming. Tell me, isn\u2019t the biggest problem with raising poultry trying to keep them warm, like chicks, I mean you put \u2019em in an incubator, you want to keep them warm, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Correct.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, problem solved. It can\u2019t be global warming then if heat is needed to keep them alive and surviving. I can\u2019t believe that they would do this. The Discovery Channel, this is the place where that environmentalist wacko tried to blow \u2019em up, took some hostages in there. So this probably is a story designed to keep further wackos from bugging them. But to do a story on the day before Thanksgiving that global warming, climate change is gonna destroy the Thanksgiving meal, that\u2019s preposterous. Now, you can attest to it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Yes. It was information to help us take back to the farm or those of us that were going to be in the meat industry —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — to pick these things out and see, you know, maybe the packer, our feeling as a farmer was to buy the meat as cheap as they could, and we would sell it to them on grade and yield. And then they would pick out the bad things, and then our price for our product, we\u2019d get less for. So if we could upgrade our genetics, get a better quality animal, then we could make more money.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, but then you gotta start playing God.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) That\u2019s true, but that\u2019s the way ag has been to — <\/p>\n

RUSH: I have a friend who raises tilapia fish, Steve Abernathy, and I call him the fish god because his problem is he needs is as many females as possible laying eggs. And he takes tilapia and he turns \u2019em into females, with genetic altering, I call him the fish god.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m a capitalist, and the key thing is I want to get better, want to try and support my family and I guess have to pay my taxes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know, Mike Ditka was on the ESPN pregame show recently, and they were talking about some team, something they had to do, and Ditka says, ‘There\u2019s only two things in life you have to do, die and pay taxes,\u2019 and that\u2019s it. So you\u2019re trying to do what\u2019s right for your family. But I want to take advantage of your experience. You\u2019re an agriculturist, you understand animals. You\u2019ve studied them, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Does a fish know it is wet?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (long pause) It\u2019ll die if it\u2019s not in water very long, so I\u2019m sure it does.<\/p>\n

RUSH: A fish knows it\u2019s wet? The fish knows it lives in water? <\/p>\n

CALLER: (really long pause) <\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019ll be back. It\u2019s a stump the caller day here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
