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

RUSH: Fallon, California. Hi, Bill. Great to have you. Welcome.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good morning, Rush. Thank you very much for having me on. I\u2019m a longtime listener, almost from the very beginning. And I think it was meant for me to get through today on this particular subject alone.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Fire away, man. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. On the Mars thing, I\u2019m a special effects artist and an actor in Hollywood, but I\u2019m a conservative, kind of like Gary Sinise, Ronald Reagan, Charlton Heston. And I counted Charlton Heston as a very good acquaintance before he passed away. And when we do science fiction, we have to do real-life research, Rush. And what the liberals today are smearing over is the fact that there was science on what possibly happens on Mars many years ago. But what they\u2019re doing is just like the global warming and the global cooling: They\u2019re changing the scenario now to fit their political agenda. What we believe happened to Mars was that an asteroid struck very much like the dinosaurs being wiped out here on earth 65 million years ago, what extinct\u2019d the dinosaurs? Now, there\u2019s two differences, Rush.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. Who is this “we”? What “we” believe happened? Who is that “we”?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m talking about mainstream science, real science that counts, the real facts and series.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The asteroid is a convenient excuse for things, \u2019cause who can say it didn\u2019t happen?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, Rush, really. On Mars, the northern hemisphere is completely different than the southern hemisphere, and it shows signs of trauma. If you\u2019ve ever seen the movie with Gary Sinise, Mission to Mars, from a few years ago, at the end of the movie the alien or the Martian showed them what happened to Mars and why Mars was abandoned, and –<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait. Wait. I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019m out of time here, but you said that these movies… This is gonna sound disrespectful. I\u2019ve gotta take a break. I\u2019ll hold back and think about this. Be back here in just a second.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to apologize to our last caller Bill who was calling California. It was my fault. Here\u2019s the problem — and I can\u2019t do anything about this. I am the mayor of Realville. I\u2019m a literalist. I wasn\u2019t sure what he was calling about, but I got sidetracked when he said that to write science fiction, they do a lot of research to find the truth. Well, that confused me. “Science fiction” and “truth” don\u2019t go together to me. So I\u2019m sitting here trying to figure that out. And then I heard an asteroid hit Mars 65 million years ago like it hit us and destroyed the dinosaurs. And that if you watch the movie, at the end of the movie when the Martian tells Gary Sinise…<\/p>\n

I was lost. There aren\u2019t any Martians, and so I just got confused. And then there was the time-constraint problem, so I ended up babbling here. I was fighting off the snarky comment about the contradiction in science fiction and truth, \u2019cause I didn\u2019t want to be mean \u2019cause I\u2019m the politest host in America. So I was waiting for the comment to go toward the whole idea about this so-called science of what they are saying now happened to Mars, and I thought he was gonna relate something in a movie do it, and that wasn\u2019t the case. <\/p>\n

So I just didn\u2019t make a connection with the guy, and it\u2019s my fault, because I\u2019m Mr. Literal. I hear what people say, and I… See, I mean what I say, and I assume everybody else means what they say, and you would not believe the problems that causes. Because most people do not say what they really mean, but I think they do because I do. And, man, I have been in more spats with people because of that. It\u2019s a burden, folks. It\u2019s a burden to be a literalist, and to not speak in codes. I just have never learned to do it. <\/p>\n

Anyway, I didn\u2019t want anybody to think that I was being rude or disrespectful. It was just lack-of-time problem, and I was totally confused. And it wasn\u2019t his fault. I\u2019m the highly trained broadcast professional here. I should have been able to weed myself through that. I still don\u2019t know what his point was gonna be, as it relates to the so-called science of what\u2019s happened to Mars. We didn\u2019t have time to get there. Now, one more thing while I\u2019m on this subject. This is from the… What\u2019s the website? The website just didn\u2019t print. I think it\u2019s Daily Caller. <\/p>\n

“Arctic Sea Ice Is Still Too Thick for Ships to Traverse the Northeast Passage,<\/a>” and this story is about how all these scientists are confused. “For years, scientists and activists have predicted the Arctic would be ice-free during the summers and winter sea ice levels would continue to decline. But what they didn\u00c2\u2019t count on was sea ice remaining too thick for ships to regularly travel through.” This is not the first kind of this story we\u2019ve had. “We\u2019ve had numerous stories in recent years about expeditions to Antarctica, to study climate change and global warming, getting stuck in ice so thick that ice breakers couldn\u2019t even reach them. <\/line><\/p>\n

“And they were shocked and they were stunned. They believed their own nonsense that the ice at the North and South Poles is melting when it\u2019s not; it\u2019s getting bigger. So they get and set out to study the decline in ice and they get caught in ice so thick that nobody can get in there to rescue \u2019em. “The first-ever study measuring sea ice thickness in the Northwest Passage has found Arctic sea ice is still too thick for ships to safely travel through it year-round. Scientists found that ‘even in today\u2019s climate, ice conditions must still be considered severe.'” What the hell does that…? “[E]ven in today\u2019s climate,” where we are enduring massive warming?<\/p>\n

Even in today\u2019s climate? We\u2019re not enduring massive warming, but look at how they automatically just accept it and believe it. Even with all of this sweat-inducing warming, why, the ice is still so thick! Do they not stop to think that maybe the ice is still so thick because it isn\u2019t warming? See, this is, again, mayor of Realville. I\u2019m a literalist. How in the world can it be getting warmer and ice be getting thicker at the same time? It can\u2019t. Yet these people are able to believe that, and I can\u2019t relate to it, other than to call \u2019em stupid. And that doesn\u2019t advance anything. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
