RUSH: Somebody Tell CNN That Rex Tillerson Publicly Stated That He Believes In Global Warming
RUSH: Somebody really needs to tell CNN that Rex Tillerson has publicly stated that he believes in global warming many times. The Atlantic January 11th, 2017, “Rex Tillerson Says Climate Change Is Real, but…” he’s come out in favor of a carbon tax as CEO of Exxon, a tax against his product, oil.
January 2009 he said that Exxon was in favor of a carbon tax. It’s not news that Rex — the Schneiderman AG in New York is claiming that Tillerson actually opposed climate change, but in his private alias email account he was admitting to everybody that it was true and he was worried about it. He said it publicly that he thought climate change was real.
But, you see, I, El Rushbo, am not convinced. It’s like the rich, like Gates and Buffett out there campaigning for tax increases on the rich. Of course they’re gonna say that. It’s how they keep the barbarians from their gates. It’s how they keep the people with pitchforks away from ’em. You know, if Gates and Buffett come out and say, “No, we’re for tax cuts for the rich,” then they’re gonna have the hordes bothering them. This is how you buy goodwill.
So the CEO of Exxon, Big Oil, hated Big Oil, if he admits that he believes in climate change and believes in the carbon tax, he just reduced the size of the company as a target, although not much because they hate oil no matter what the CEO is and what he says, but, anyhow.
RUSH: My health care reform plan is real simple. For everybody who can, and we would have to have a very, very honest assessment of that, you buy your own. You can either get it from your employer as part of your deal there, or you don’t and you go out and make your own deal. You’ll be able to make your own deal because the government’s not involved and there are insurance companies all over this country selling health insurance, and they’re competing with one another, and you buy what you need.
And if you’re 25 and you don’t want to buy the kind of health insurance where you go to the doctor 15 times a year, you don’t. If all you want to buy is insurance for when you have a car crash or some other calamity, that’s what you buy, and you’re not responsible for anybody else. And everybody else does the same thing. You buy what you want. And then what you can’t buy, you insure. And that would be catastrophic, terminal diseases, long-term care. If you want to invest when you are 25 years old in a retirement home that has health care, you buy it then and start making payments on it. Your responsibility, you do it.
“But Mr. Limbaugh, Mr. Limbaugh, what about the people that can’t afford it?” That’s where we are a compassionate country. And people who can’t, we have a plan, but we’re not gonna assume nobody can pay for it on their own anymore! And I’m not saying decide whether you want an iPhone or health care. And I’m not saying that. I don’t think that’s what Jason Chaffetz was saying, either, but he’s been raked over the phones and still is being, by the way, by Republicans. Breitbart does it here.
To me, there ought be no guarantee, just like no hotel is the same, health care, where is it written that no matter where you go to get health care it’s just as good as where anybody else goes? You know that’s not the case already. You know there are places that specialize in treating cancer that are better at it by reputation than other places, but not everybody gets to go to those places. It’s just the way it is.
And even now, with government running it, we don’t even promise people that they’ll get the best. And how do you know what the best is anyway until there’s competition and the best is determined by who has the most customers and who sells the most service and who does the best job by virtue of the market telling everybody that?
RUSH: You know, folks, with politics, you never know what’s gonna happen. Now, up until now at this very moment, would you agree with me that every “crisis,” quote/unquote, that has been presented to us in the Drive-By Media is related to Trump? There’s no question. Every day, every week there’s either a new crisis or an update on an existing crisis. One crisis has been that Trump worked with the Russians to hack the election and steal it from Hillary, which we have done yeoman’s work here in debunking.
It is fading away, but they’re still trying to keep it alive out there, as you will hear soon from me. But this is a seminal point: Every crisis has been about Trump, and there’s no question it can wear people out. It can exhaust even Trump supporters, waking up every day, “Here comes a new one.” Even if they don’t believe it, it’s still something the media picks up and then runs with and it just… Right now, it’s not depressing people; it is making people mad.
But one of these days — out of the blue and out of nowhere — there’s gonna be a crisis that does not focus on or is not about Trump. There’s gonna be a crisis somewhere in this country or in the world that will not be about Trump, that is going to require Trump to deal with it, and at that point I think, which is… These things are generically predictable; at that point there will become a unavoidable shift in focus and attention. Some of these crises could be things that present opportunities as well. Don’t misunderstand that. I’m talking about to change subject.

RUSH: So I don’t foresee any kind of a dramatic change in the state of play in Washington until the next crisis that happens does not involve him.

Limbaugh Takes Credit For Playing ‘MAJOR ROLE’ In Why ‘RUSSIANS STOLE THE ELECTION’ Theme Is GONE
RUSH: Say, have you noticed, my friends, that the whole “Russians stole the election” theme is gone? Have you noticed it’s not out there today? You can’t find a story on it? I’m gonna tell you why, ’cause we had a major role in this I am convinced right here on the EIB Network yesterday ’cause we nailed ’em.
#######################
RUSH: Have you seen any stories about the Russians hacking the elections? It’s gone, and so is the New York Times headline from the January 20th story with “wiretaps.” They have gone back and they have changed it. “Wiretaps” are not in that headline anymore. I’ll have the details on this. There’s also two polls out there. Folks, this is big. This is exactly… I am convinced that we played a role in this. Not just yesterday, but in days in the past. Many people have, and Trump’s the actual reason why.
When he lobbed that tweet back that the Obama administration had him under surveillance, that’s when they had to let it go. And Matt Taibbi, who’s extreme liberal, in Rolling Stone has a piece out today warning the Democrats saying you better be careful here, because you might get what you want, which is an investigation into what you’ve been doing. He’s warning them to walk this back and stop reporting on this with all these unnamed sources, that you’re setting yourselves up for a big fail.
#######################
RUSH: What has happened to the Democrats’ and media’s story on the Russians working with Trump to steal the election from Hillary? It’s gone. It’s not out there today. There aren’t any updates. We’ve got a revised New York Times headline — sneaky, sneaky, sneaky — as they postdate change the headline wiping out the word “wiretaps” and “wiretapped” from their headline on a story January 20th.
