BRETT: Coming up in hour number 2, what about the aliens? Did you leave me hanging there?

RUSH: You know, folks, every science fiction movie in the fifties, the sixties, was based on space aliens coming to earth to prevent us from developing the nuclear bomb. I remember Michael Rennie was in the original, The Day the Earth Stood Still; that stupid robot, Gort, whatever it was. It was all about we’re developing a nuclear bomb. Now the aliens are gonna get us to stop doing global warming, and this gets passed off as straight news.

BRETT: The aliens, but it’s not the kind of aliens that you would expect like the border issue ’cause that doesn’t matter anymore. That’s not national security or anything like that. But it’s the space aliens, and the way the space aliens are going to get us focused properly on the climate change issue, as Rush talked about. We’re gonna let you hear that.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

BRETT: Have you seen the video of the UFOs? It’s pretty wild stuff. Aliens and climate change, climate change and aliens. Look, “A newly leaked Navy video appears to show an unidentified flying object disappearing into the water off California, according to a clip obtained by a documentary filmmaker and shared with NBC News.

“The video was captured in July 2019 by Navy aircraft and recorded in the USS Omaha’s Combat Information Center, according to the filmmaker, Jeremy Corbell. … The clip appears to show a spherical object flying above the water for a few minutes near San Diego before it vanishes.”

In fact, according to 60 Minutes, “UFOs [Are] Regularly Spotted in Restricted U.S. Airspace,” and they’ve looked at a number of instances in which that has happened. “Bill Whitaker reports on the regular sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena…” Remember it used to be UFOs? Now it’s UAPs.

“The regular sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP, that have spurred a report due to Congress next month.” Well, wheel that’s happening, The Federalist has a piece: “U.S. Army Takes on Climate Change as ‘Serious Threat’ to National Security.”

“Given the recently released government claims, Senator Marco Rubio has asked for a report from the Pentagon on the official understanding and findings of a series of UFOs off the Atlantic Coast that have gone from Virginia to Florida in the last three years by members of the U.S. Air Force.”

That’s what they’re looking at. So we’ve got unidentified aerial phenomena, we’ve got UFOs flying into the ocean off of San Diego, and now (chuckling) we’ve got the U.S. Army getting ready to tackle climate change. Well, look, Rush spoke about this. He said scientists, not aliens, may destroy humanity to protect themselves.

RUSH: U.K. Guardian, a serious story: “Aliens May Destroy Humanity to Protect Other Civilizations, Say Scientists — It may not rank as the most compelling reason to curb greenhouse gases, but reducing our emissions might just save humanity from a pre-emptive alien attack, scientists claim.” It was that idiot, Krugman.

He was advocating for a space alien attack in the New York Times as a way to get the economy to rebound. You had a serious story here in the U.K. Guardian. “Watching from afar, extraterrestrial beings might view changes in Earth’s atmosphere as symptomatic of a civilization growing out of control — and take drastic action to keep us from becoming a more serious threat, the researchers explain.

“This highly speculative scenario is one of several described by a NASA-affiliated scientist and colleagues at Pennsylvania State University that,” I’m reading this verbatim, “while considered unlikely, they say could play out were humans and alien life to make contact at some point in the future. Shawn Domagal-Goldman of NASA’s Planetary Science Division and his colleagues compiled a list of plausible outcomes that could unfold in the aftermath of a close encounter, to help humanity ‘prepare for actual contact.’ In their report, Would Contact with Extraterrestrials Benefit or Harm Humanity? …”

Basically you have here a crackpot leftist scientist with influence in NASA coming in the form of an actual NASA employee producing actual NASA documents warning that if we don’t adopt lunatic global warming policies of Algore’s, space aliens will invade us to wipe us out, to prevent us from destroying our climate! Here’s a quote from the story.

Folks, this is in the U.K. Guardian. This story is presented with all the sincerity of any news story that you might find on the front page of any newspaper any day of the week. Here’s the pull-quote: “‘Green’ aliens might object to the environmental damage humans have caused on Earth and wipe us out to save the planet. ‘These scenarios give us reason to limit our growth and reduce our impact on global ecosystems.

“‘It would be particularly important for us to limit our emissions of greenhouse gases, since atmospheric composition can be observed from other planets,’ the authors write.” Honest to God, NASA scientists say we’re being observed by space aliens, and if we don’t dial it back on the greenhouse gases, they’re gonna invade us and wipe us out as a civilization to save this planet!

We’re being observed. You know, folks, every science fiction movie in the fifties, the sixties, was based on space aliens coming to earth to prevent us from developing the nuclear bomb. The nuclear bomb, we’re gonna wipe ourselves out, the space aliens always smarter than we were, would show up, and that was the plot.

I remember Michael Rennie was in the original, The Day the Earth Stood Still; that stupid robot, Gort, whatever it was. It was all about we’re developing a nuclear bomb. Now the aliens are gonna get us to stop doing global warming, and this gets passed off as straight news.

BRETT: You know, what’s incredible about this — and speaking of aliens, by the way, tomorrow we’re gonna have Rush talking about the time he met with aliens, ’cause he did. Remember? He’s gonna be talking about the time he met with aliens and you can actually see a picture of this over at the website, RushLimbaugh.com.

How do we know that that was an asteroid or a meteor? How do we know that wasn’t a space alien weapon deployed against the United States, because are you kidding me? Cow farts are bad for the climate? What do you think tyrannosaurus rex and brontosauruses are doing to the planet, stegosauruses, all of those dinosaurs?

They’re eating all that grass. They’re eating all those trees. They’re eating each other. It’s entirely possible the space aliens looked at those dinosaurs and said “Gotta go! Ggotta save that planet, gotta go. Boom. Boom. Down go the dinosaurs.” I mean, that could happen. Boom goes the dynamite, boom goes the steroid. I mean, that could have been the case.

I read an article a couple of weeks ago that said, you know, these frequencies we keep pumping out into outer space trying to reach out and make contact with whoever’s out there? There are credible experts who have said we have no idea what we’re saying to these people or to these aliens. We may be taunting them. (laughing)

We may be putting out something that is as offensive to them, as you can say to a guy from Gort or wherever it is. Are you kidding? We have no idea what we’re saying to these aliens. Not a clue! It’s also possible it’s the other way around, that they may be interpreting them as, “Well, I guess we gotta go take that place over.”

(laughing) When you start messing with space, you know, we really don’t know the fineries of that world. We have no idea what we’re doing. So you know what? After listening to Rush and then thinking what these scientists are saying, maybe that takeout of the dinosaurs was a trial run for what’s gonna happen next.
