\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s a new movie on Steve Jobs. It\u2019s an Aaron Sorkin movie, stars Michael Fassbender, and it\u2019s the same people basically that did the movie The Social Network. And apparently this movie, depending on who you listen to, just savages Steve Jobs, just makes him out to be the biggest reprobate that may have ever lived, just a horrible human being, inhumane, mean, heartless, no compassion, just the most rotten, vile guy you can imagine.<\/p>\n

So now executives at Apple and friends and family of Jobs are begging, they\u2019re imploring Hollywood not to do this. They\u2019re trying to get the true story out that Jobs was not the way he\u2019s going to be portrayed in this movie. And it made me think, this is so rare that anybody on the left is savaged for anything, that when it happens, they don\u2019t know how to deal with it. They panic and they start moving into action to try to get it changed. These people couldn\u2019t survive as conservatives obviously for a week, with standard, ordinary, everyday media coverage that conservatives get, Republicans get, and I don\u2019t just mean me. I\u2019m talking about elected officials, you name it, prominent conservatives, as you know, are savaged. And here is one instance and they\u2019re beside themselves with anger and rage and all of the usual things that you would feel when somebody you have a lot of affection for is being trashed.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if the assessment of this movie is right. I\u2019ve not seen it. I\u2019m just passing along what I\u2019ve heard. There are stories about Jobs out there, and they run the gamut from evil, maniacal, mad, heartless, cold SOB, to generous, kind. It runs the whole gamut of human emotions. But even the producers of the movie, “Hey, you know what? We took artistic license. Hey, we\u2019ve been there and done that, too, or been there and had that happen.” (interruption) Yeah, one British paper… (interruption) Well, no, no, no, it was not a British paper. It was Jobs\u2019 ex-girlfriend who wrote a piece. I think it was the Daily Mail or the Telegraph saying the movie doesn\u2019t go far enough in describing what an SOB the guy was. Something about denying paternity for his daughter. Even though it had been medically, scientifically proven that he was the sperm donor, he denied it, refused to pay anything.<\/p>\n

The daughter\u2019s name was Lisa, happened to be the name of a Apple Computer that was released that bombed, by the way, and he claimed, “No, I didn\u2019t name it after this daughter that\u2019s not mine.” He said it has to do with learned integrated systems analysis, or something like that that explained the name of the computer LISA. I read that piece. This woman is loaded for bear. Leanne, Sueann, Johnann, Deeann, Brennan I think is her last name. And then it continues.<\/p>\n

I was reading something last night, must have been NewsBusters. Oh, it was. It was a NewsBusters piece, and it was all about people reviewing the movie Mars. And the NewsBusters piece mentioned that the reviews are all mentioning me and ill papa, the pope. Oh. You know, the pope, the Vatican, they\u2019re walking back the fact that he met with Kim Davis but they\u2019re promoting the fact that he met with a same-sex couple. They can\u2019t get enough of that. I mean, they\u2019re promoting that out the wazoo. The pope had a very close and engaging meeting with a same-sex couple, longtime friend of his. They\u2019re trying to walk back the fact that he ever met Kim Davis. They did videotape it, but they\u2019re not gonna release that. There\u2019s videotape of the pope hugging one of the same-sex couple people. And then the church has fired a gay priest. You know, the priest admitted he was gay, and the Vatican said, “Not for long, buddy,” and he\u2019s gone. So here\u2019s the pope bracing a same-sex couple, firing a gay priest, and denying or walking back that he met with Kim Davis.<\/line><\/p>\n

Anyway, this review of the movie The Martian or whatever, mentioned that the reviewers all mentioned me, and of course what they mention — and for those of you upset with what\u2019s happened to Steve Jobs, I really hate to make this personal, but you couldn\u2019t walk a week in our shoes here. If you\u2019re upset about what they\u2019re doing to Steve Jobs in this movie, it continues in all of these reviews in the movie that mention me. It quotes me as saying it is a leftist plot to suggest Mars has water, which I never said. Sorry to be redundant. I have admitted Mars had water or has it. There are ice caps there. I disputed the idea of flowing water, but that\u2019s still not the point.<\/p>\n

What I said was that the news there was water on Mars is going to be used to advance the liberal agenda based on the evidence of a scientist claiming that there used to be two-thirds of the planet covered with water a mile deep but it\u2019s no longer there “probably” is the quote, “due to a probable catastrophic event probably related to global warming.” That\u2019s what I objected to. That\u2019s what I said was evidence enough for me that they\u2019re gonna politicize this discovery. Not only that, but announcement of the discovery happened to be timed with the release of the movie. NASA wants to go to Mars.<\/p>\n

By the way, you know something else on this Mars business, folks? How long have you been alive, you remember the left complaining and whining about the space budget? “We don\u2019t need to go Mars. We don\u2019t need to go to the moon. We don\u2019t need to launch the shuttle. We don\u2019t need to do that anymore. There are people starving on this planet. What good is all this manned exploration of space?” That\u2019s been the left\u2019s story my whole life, except now Mars all of a sudden everybody on the left wants to go. And I wish they could. All of a sudden now it is the latest pop culture event to be positive and supportive of a manned mission to Mars. What happened to all the money that could be spent on all the starving children here, and maybe add to it the gun controversy. Why spend all this money going to Mars when we have so many social programs and problems here that need to be dealt with?<\/line><\/p>\n

That\u2019s been the story of the space program my whole life. But now Mars has become more than a pop culture thing. It\u2019s become a fantasy that everybody on the left is now in favor of. And I think I understand why, in part. They all really believe that climate change is destroying the planet and in 30 years the earth\u2019s gonna be inhabitable. Or maybe 50. Or maybe a hundred, so they\u2019re all worried that global warming will eventually make this place uninhabitable, when they\u2019re dead anyway. And then it doesn\u2019t hurt to have this so-called smartest guy in the world, Steven Hawking, out there talking about all this and claiming, yep, this earth\u2019s done, we\u2019ve had it, stick a fork in it, the only hope we\u2019ve got to colonize the moon or Mars or whatever. So all these leftists have just decided to dump all over the starving and the poor and the thirsty and to hell with them and let\u2019s go to the Mars. It\u2019s just fascinating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
