WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh July 30th 2018

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>This is really bad news. In the last few days,

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:07.840
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of precious sea turtles have washed up on southwest

0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:11.959
<v Speaker 1>Florida beaches. They didn't wash up alive. Now, according to

0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>turtle researcher Kelly Sloan, many of the washed up turtles

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:18.800
<v Speaker 1>are mature adults, and that is really bad because only

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>one in a thousand turtles ever makes it to adulthood.

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 1>It takes longerhead turtles twenty to thirty years to mature,

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and they're already protected species. So this many washed up

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:34.959
<v Speaker 1>turtles could really hurt the sustainability of turtledom. But there

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>is a small comfort. For once, this horrible disaster isn't

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>man's fault. Mother nature is killing her own. Scientists say

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.879
<v Speaker 1>the west coast of Florida from Tampa Key West is

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>having the worst red tide bloom since two thousand six.

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>The culprit killing hundreds of adult sea turtles is algae.

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 1>But here on the East coast of Florida where I am,

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>everything's cool, all is safe. So all of you smart

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>adult turtles, and I know you're listening, save yourself. Swim

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>to the east coast. Why we might even leave the

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 1>light on for you. M
