Time Text
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
Caesar Chavez Day in uh California today, and in honor of that, we can't have Abe Lincoln Day or George Washington anymore, but if Caesar Chavez Day in California honor of that, a bunch of uh school kids out there are jumping fences, cutting class, and joining um protests against the law to deal with illegal immigration.
Greetings, welcome back.
Great to have you, El Rushbo, the all-knowing, all-caring, all sensing, all feeling, all concerned, all everything.
Maha Rushi at 800 282-2882 in the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
This is some blockbuster stuff here that Zacharius McCowie is saying today.
He testified there in the penalty phase of his uh trial.
He testified not only did he know about the 9-11 attacks ahead of time, but that he and Richard Reed, the noted shoe bomber, were supposed to hijack a fifth airplane and fly it into the White House.
Masowie's testimony in his death penalty trial stunned the courtroom as he disclosed details he had never revealed before.
It was in stark contrast to the self-confessed Al-Qaeda members' previous statements in which he said that the White House attack was to come later if the U.S. refused to release a radical Egyptian sheikh imprisoned on earlier terrorist convictions.
That would be the noted Omar Abdel Rahman.
On December 22nd, 2001, Richard Reed, noted shoe bomber, subdued by passengers when he attempted to detonate Nabom's shoe aboard an American Airlines Flight 63 from Paris to Miami.
There were 197 people on board.
The plane was diverted to Boston where it landed safely.
A Fox News producer in the courtroom during the testimony said Massawi was very composed and articulate and spoke very deliberately while uh while on the stand.
So he's he now he also told the court he knew that the World Trade Center attack was coming, and that he had lied to investigators when arrested in August of 2001 because he wanted it to happen.
So he lied to mislead them.
He said he knew the attacks were coming sometime after August of 2001.
He bought a radio so he could hear them unfold.
A statement was key to the government's case that the attacks might have been averted if Massawi had been more cooperative following his arrest.
But he asserted he was Oh, now wait a minute.
If you'd have been more cooperative.
It sounds like what we're dealing with is immigration bill.
If you illegals would just show up and admit that you're illegal is not on a protest march, but one of our offices, then we'll let you stay for six years.
What do you mean?
What are he supposed to admit it?
That's the what is this what do I remember about the FBI and the CIA and his computer, and they wanted to get into his computer and some judge No can't do that.
Constitutional rights.
So what about all this?
We couldn't connect the dots.
And so now the connecting the dots has been reduced to if the PERP will be honest and forthcoming about his intentions.
That's a that's pretty uh pretty low threshold.
He asserted, however, he was not part of the 9-11 attacks, and he didn't know the details.
Prosecution asked if that was why he misled them.
He said that's correct.
The statement was key to the government's case that the attacks might have been averted if Massawi had been more cooperative following his arrest.
That's a I mean, I know what they mean here, but that's a hell of a thing to see, Reed.
Yeah, if the guy had just told us what was going to happen before it happened, why we might have been able to stop it.
So anyway, that's blockbuster stuff, and it's uh it's happening pretty much now.
All right, I have an idea.
We are being told here, and let's let's examine more of this to set this up and illustrate this for you.
Senator Spector, in his interviews with George Stephanopoulos yesterday, essentially conceded that there is no enforcement mechanism.
The enforcement mechanism that's already in the law on illegal immigration is deportation.
As Tom Tancredo says you don't need any new law.
There's one right there that we could use.
But well, can't do that, Russia.
Again, you don't understand.
We've got 11 million of these people, 12 million.
Well, how are we going to find them?
We're gonna round them up.
Why?
So it's not workable, it's not possible.
Okay, so there's no enforcement.
Period.
Maybe no, no.
Let me just dream.
Maybe maybe some journalist will ask Spectre and Kennedy and McCain.
Um, and and the president, too.
How do you plan to enforce a guest worker program?
I don't care if you will grant that it's not amnesty just for your purpose.
It's because we want an answer to the question.
How are you going to enforce a guest worker program and a six-year requirement?
I have to tell you, we let them stay, those that are here, they get to stay, go out and apply, get the green card, where they get to stay for six years, and then leave.
Why?
What's why who who in the right mind would leave?
For what reason?
And when they don't leave, then what do we do?
If there are millions who decide not to leave, well, it'll just start the endless cycle that we're in now.
Spectre will say, well, we can't uh deport all these people.
Uh, who will do the jobs?
Uh the American people refuse to do.
Who will who'll do this?
Uh, who'll do that?
Uh-huh.
This is not an answer.
This is this is BS.
I mean, I fully expect somebody to tell me today that there was value in these protests over the weekend because these illegals are now doing the protests that Americans are no longer do.
And the anti-war movement probably, yeah, then we got a problem.
Because you imagine the anti-war movement.
I mean, third anniversary of Iraq.
They're excited.
They can't wait for this anniversary.
They were going to fill the streets of America with anti-war, and they got a dribble of maybe 25,000 total nationwide.
500,000 at one time in one city.
And it had nothing to do with anything the left in this country is raising cane about.
They have to be depressed.
But the here's the bottom line.
Until Spectre and the rest of the people on this on this guest worker program, amnesty, whatever it is, embrace enforcement.
You can pass all the laws you want if you don't enforce them, they're worthless.
There's there's not a single law that will work.
Now here's my idea.
In addition to illegal immigration, many of us in this country are fed up with the federal tax system.
We're just fed up with it.
But over the years we've been intimidated into obeying call on our patriot uh patriotism uh tendencies and our desire to do the right thing and so forth, but admit it we're also scared to death that that's the one thing the federal government will not stop looking for until they find it, and that's every tax cheat in the country.
But yet we need reform of this system.
We need to reform it.
I mean, the that the tax code's it's it's punitive.
Fewer and fewer people are paying federal income taxes, so the opportunity to reform the program is soon to vanish because once the minority is the one paying taxes, the majority of people are not paying federal income taxes, you have no hope for reform.
So how do we do it?
Well, we've tried every number of ways.
We've proposed legislation, we have had books written, we have had speeches given, we have had pamphlets printed.
Uh nothing works, and the reason is that members of Congress are just not going to give up the single greatest power they have, and that's social architecture that they can engage in with the tax code.
So, since Senator Specter and since Senator McCain and all the supporters of this amnesty program say, well, 12 million, 11 million, they're just not we can't do anything about it.
We can't, we gotta come up with some way to deal with them already here because we can't deal with fine.
How about if I were, and I'm speaking hypothetically, just toying with this idea, but how about if I, Il Rushbo, were to write a tax book?
And the idea I have is that we just stop paying taxes.
Now just bear with me on this.
Just stop paying them.
What if 40 or 50 million of us just refuse to pay taxes?
What are they gonna do?
Well, I will sacrifice Mr. Snerdley's yelling that they will get me.
I will sacrifice myself for the good of the cause.
But uh if 40 or 50 million, I mean this is hypothetically, but if 40 or 50 million refuse to pay taxes, what are they gonna do?
They don't have that many IRS agents, they don't have that much jail space.
Um they they might actually build jails for this, though.
Call it the Rush Limbaugh correctional facility, they might actually do it.
But then, in what would have to happen, because the government obviously needs revenue we need for our government to perform various basic functions, but it could be a way to change the tax code.
Because if 40 or 50 million people just said hell with it and dropped out, they'd have to come up with an alternative way of raising the money, and that's how we would get reform.
That's how we'd get the fair tax, the flat tax, the national sales tax, or whatever it is.
One that we couldn't avoid paying because it would arrive every time we spent money.
Now, you say, well, how do we avoid paying when taxes are withheld?
I understand.
I understand that.
Uh there are ways around this, but that burden would fall on the shoulders of those who are self-employed and who do not have taxes withheld, and probably would lead to changing a law in five seconds.
That would require everybody have taxes withheld.
But my point is that it's i i if if the number of illegals is simply too large to deal with, the number of criminals is simply too large to deal with.
Uh and you're not going to have any enforcement mechanism, then all of this is just a bunch of jabber walkie about the uh about immigration is just designed to placate you and pander to you to make you think that they really mean it this time.
Uh quick couple sound bites here just to show you the absurdity of this.
This week was Stephanopoulos, this is during the round table, and Hurricane Katrina Vandenhoovel was on there with George Will and Farid Zakaria, or Zachariah, I'm not sure how how does he pronounce his name?
Last name, Zicaria?
Zachariah.
Um George Will says it would take more than 200,000 buses extending in a line 1,700 miles from San Diego to Alaska to deport 11 million people, which happens to be the population of Ohio.
It's not going to happen.
70% of the illegal immigrants here have been here at least five years.
They've got roots in a community.
Many of them have children born in America who are therefore American citizens.
Not ripe for deportation, it seems to me.
Morality severed from practicality is immorality.
Steffi then turns to Hurricane Katrina and says, Looks like there's not much debate about this on the table.
What about you, uh, Katrina?
Well, wait a minute.
Undocumented immigrants are the backbone of this economy.
They do the suburban lawns in this country, they take care of the kids.
The economy in this country would be in real trouble.
If but I think what we're witnessing is if 2005 was the year of the minute men rising, the vigilantes on the border like Tancredo, someone on the show earlier, 2006 will be the year of immigrants rising.
Where did I see that phrase?
Or immigrants rising.
Where did I see that phrase?
Somebody else used that today.
I quoted them.
Yeah, the facts has obviously gone out.
Illegal immigrant, did you hear?
Not even illegal alien now, illegal immigrant.
And they are the backbone of America.
So Stefanopla says, I want to get to the politics that you just raised, uh, Hurricane Katrina, because there doesn't seem to be much debate over whether or not we should have undocumented.
Tancrato on your show today, he looked pleasant.
But I will say that what's happened in our country is some of the white supremacist thinking that used to be represented by David Duke has been absorbed by people like Tancredo, and that's a very dangerous very dangerous dra the draconian legislation in the House is un-American.
Okay, that's really nice.
So the Tom Tancredo is the new white supremacist, the new David Duke.
That's the politics of this.
Quick time out, we will return with much more, including your phone calls.
Stay with us.
Okay, time for our not a good day for the libs segment, ladies and gentlemen.
I always try to segregate news uh in various stacks, and I always have a stack that I know is just going to destroy and disappoint uh depress the left.
You know, one of the big issues for the left is uh is uh uh embryonic stem cells.
And the only stem cells that we can possibly use, the only stem cells that will serve the bill, serve the purpose.
We can't go for adult stem cells, we can't go for cord, we have to get the embryos because that gives us another reason to promote abortion.
Well, uh problem.
German scientists, and since I am part German, I can say this.
It doesn't surprise me that German scientists discovered what I'm about to tell you.
It's German scientists say cells from the testicles of mice can behave like embryonic stem cells.
If the same holds true in humans, it could provide a controversy-free source of versatile cells for use in treating disease.
Do you understand the ramifications of this?
It means rather than going for the womb, these people are going to be going for your testicles.
But it will destroy.
Now I'm I know people out there studying mouse testicles, and you're wondering who would want to do that?
Germans?
I can say this because I'm German.
Part German.
German and Dutch, proudly so.
Fingers never been in a dike, but and I've never been there, but regardless.
Embryonic stem cells can give rise to virtually any tissue in the body, and scientists believe they may offer treatments for diseases like Parkinson's and diabetes and spinal cord injuries, although there is no researcher evidence yet to uh suggest it.
But to harvest the cells, human embryos have to be destroyed.
Some religious groups and others oppose that.
Really?
This is the AP writing this.
The new research into testicular cells published online Friday by the journal Nature comes from Dr. Gerd Hasenfuss of the George August University of Gettington in Germany and his colleagues, lab tests found that the mouth cells closely mimic the behavior of embryonic stem cells.
Hassenfuss said that he is optimistic about finding human testicular cells that will do the same.
He says work has already begun on that.
Another bad bad news day for the for the Libs disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramov has advised friends that he has zero derogatory information about Tom Delay.
And he is not implicating him as part of his plea bargain with federal prosecutors.
Robert Novak revealed this in a column on March 25th.
That would be two days ago for those of you and well, that doesn't help.
That would be Saturday for those of you in Rio Linda.
Abramoff has not given a clean bill of health to any other congressman, including Representative Robert Nay, who has stepped down as chairman of the House Administration Committee.
This is going to devastate them because they they were just convinced that uh the delay was going to be the primary victim of the Abramov scandal that gave rise to this culture of uh of corruption business.
Doctors, this is the Sunday Times, UK Times Online.
The British Medical Association has discovered that hospital consultants are spurning the National Health Service in the UK by paying for medical insurance so they can be treated privately if they become ill.
I have told you people that this is happening in Canada, and it's it's happening in Canada to the point so many people are doing it that they have there's a law that says you can't do it in Canada.
You cannot privately buy health insurance and go get your own coverage that you pay for yourself.
Because it would break down their system.
So many people are doing it, goes back to my tax idea.
So many people are doing it that some Supreme Court, if they're saying we can't enforce this.
There are too many people.
Besides, the system sucks.
It's not working.
Now the very people that work in the health care industry in UK are opting out of it.
Doctors are among this a survey of 500 consultants commissioned by BUPA, the health insurer found that 41% of senior hospital doctors have invested in private health coverage.
Doctors are among the ten occupations most likely to take out personal medical insurance, according to BUPA.
More than 90% of the consultants surveyed have posts within the NHS.
I assume that's the National Health SysOL services.
All of those surveyed also work in private hospitals.
Dr. Sarah Burnett, a consultant radiologist in London who worked in the NHS for 15 years said she took out private medical insurance while she was employed in the State Service because she was unimpressed with the level of care she witnessed firsthand.
Now keep in mind that when you hear Mrs. Clinton and the Libs and the Democrats talk about health care for all a single pair system, it's just like liberalism everywhere.
They want to import systems that have previously been documented as failures.
First in Canada now in the in the UK.
And some liberals have not even given up on communism yet.
Still think it's way we had that call last Friday from the student who called her political science course Communism 101.
All right, quick timeout, we've got to go, but uh just a little EIB profit center uh timeout.
Get to your phone calls after this telephone number once again, 800 28282.
You know, this uh story to German research and to uh testicular stem cells, perhaps being a substitute for embryonic stem cells.
It may have actually found a way for the new castrati in our society to make a contribution.
Now I got it, folks.
If you'll indulge me here, I've got it I've I've I seldom do this, but I've got to take care of something personally.
I'm sure you've all heard of the golf female golf phenom.
When I was on at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic back in uh late January, I did an interview after the third round at PGA West.
Uh with I forget the guy's name, but they put it up on their website we when we linked to it uh last week.
Badgolfer.com.
That's what it was.
Figures that I would end up doing an interview with somebody who runs a website called Bad Golfer Doctor.
So this guy asked me about Michelle Wee.
And I asked me about that.
I did an interview later in that week uh next day on the golf channel.
Rich Lerner asked the same thing.
What do you think about Michelle Wee?
And what I said on a golf channel was more controversial than what I said a bad golfer.com, but that had a bad dolpher.com.
Time magazines picked this up.
Time magazine did ten questions with Michelle Wee and asked her what she thought of what I had said.
Well, the problem is what I said was uh not totally reported.
They asked me about Michelle Wee, and I said, Well, she she's a triumph of marketing right now.
She hasn't won anything.
And it's time to get some wins under her belt.
If she wants to play the male too, or if she wants to play the PGA to get some wins.
I mean, what what are we talking?
It was it was assumed, though, when you just when you just take the first thing that I said, uh, which was she's a triumph of market, which she is, and that's not a put down.
Great marketing plans are great marketing plans.
But it's being reported as a put down.
So now they're out there asking Michelle Wee, what do you think about what Rush Limbois said about you?
And Michelle Wee is uh what is she 16 now or 17?
Uh when asked what she thought of radio host Rush Limbaugh calling her a triumph of marketing wee, the number two ranked woman golfer said, huh?
Who's that?
So, oh, he's on the radio.
Well, I don't listen to the radio much.
So I mean, I have nothing against Michelle Wee.
You can't even I love Michelle Wheat.
Fine, she's a great sheets of all 300 yards.
If anything, I'm jealous of her.
But now the whole golf world thinks I'm out there ripping Michelle Wheat.
Why would I what what would there possibly be to gain ripping Michelle Wee?
I just gave an honest answer to the question.
What do you think of I'm gonna start, I'm gonna start answering these questions like politicians do.
What do you think of Michelle Wee?
Oh, what a future.
Oh man, you've seen all these tournaments that she's won.
I don't think anybody can keep up with her.
I well, maybe it will be the McNabb effect if she'll have a great year.
But but I don't know.
I just wanted to straight, because there's a lot of Michelle Wee fans out there that I have nothing against her.
It's absurd to even think that.
I would have to say this.
All right, quickly to the phones, people have been waiting.
Denver and Jim, welcome to the EIB network.
Nice to have you with us.
Hey Rush, make a dead.
It's been a good def defense contract you did us from Colorful Colorado.
You mentioned earlier you were surprised to hear about parts of uh California celebrating Caesar Chavez Day.
And I thought I'd let you know that we here at least did the Denver government also celebrate diversity by observing the Caesar Chavez Day.
So if you want to get your car registered at in the DMV or kind of out of luck today.
That's in California.
Uh Colorado.
Denver, Colorado, sir.
Oh, it's Colorado.
You mean Caesar Chavez Day also in Colorado.
That's right, sir.
And it's a city holiday.
For most of the uh uh government or government workers, I should say.
Like the parks and recreations and uh animal control and whatnot.
I have a question.
I uh you you are more informed than I, of course, about uh uh things happening in Colorado.
Did Cesar Chavez migrate there from his days in California?
Did he go back and forth?
And you know, I was looking it up myself and I didn't see any reference to uh Colorado for Cesar Chavez.
I'm not too sure, but uh according to the uh website that I was looking at, I didn't see anything.
Oh, Colorado.
Well, here, if since it's Caesar Chavez Day in more than just California here, Mike grab the uh official EIB welcome uh and uh happy Caesar Chavez Day, just let it rip there when you thanks very much, uh Jim for the phone call.
I appreciate it.
I appreciate it.
Guess what we all right, HR HR whispering in my IFB says that apparently in Colorado Caesar Chavez was a triumph of marketing.
I have an amazing story here.
This came uh late last week from Human Events, and it lists spending per pupil per state, education spending.
And then it lists the percentage of eighth graders at a proficiency or better in reading at at that level, eighth grade level.
Uh and then the percentage of eighth graders at proficiency or better in math, the eighth grade level.
The state with the highest spending per pupil is Alaska at sixteen thousand six hundred and sixty-five dollars per pupil.
Twenty-seven percent of their eighth graders can read at that level, and twenty-nine percent of their eighth graders are proficient or better in math.
D. 27%, oh, you it gets worse than that.
Just hang on there.
District of Columbia, sixteen thousand three hundred and forty-four dollars per pupil.
Twelve percent of those students have an eighth grade or better reading proficiency.
Better uh or equal to uh eighth grade level.
Now you're wondering who did this survey.
It's a Department of Education study.
Uh the the you know what the tuition at St. John's College High School, a district Catholic school that sends almost all its graduates to four-year colleges is ten thousand five hundred and twenty bucks.
And yet in DC, they're spending sixteen thousand three hundred and forty-four bucks per pupil.
Twelve percent of their eighth graders can read at that level or better.
Seven percent of these eighth graders have a math proficiency, eighth grade level or better.
New York is number three at $13,989 per pupil.
33% of those eighth graders can read at that level or better, and 31% of those can solve math problems.
Now you think they're cheating?
Is that what you said?
Uh 33% is uh Snerdley thinks 33% is high accomplishment achievement rate for New Yorkers in the public school system.
New Jersey's next.
That would put them in fourth place, 12,419, 37 percent, 36 percent, respectively.
Let's see what's it it looks like DC is the absolute lowest.
They're the only state in single digits.
Uh let's see, where am I let's look up Florida.
Let me find Florida 7,000, $571 per student.
I'm probably paying for about a hundred thousand of them.
Twenty-five percent at an eighth eighth grade level and twenty-six percent math.
Twenty-six percent of Florida students are proficient or better at eighth grade math, and twenty uh thirty uh twenty-five percent of proficient are better at eighth grade reading at seven thousand.
Now you look at these numbers.
Uh Rhode Island ten thousand, New Mexico, Connecticut, uh, Delaware, ten thousand, Wyoming, twelve thousand, New Jersey, twelve thousand, all the way up to sixteen thousand tops.
Do you realize with that amount of money in New Jersey or New York?
You could take every kid to school in a limousine.
You could drive them over to twenty-one for lunch, drive them back to class.
You could hire the most expensive professor from Harvard or Yale or the Taliban and bring them in and have c so much money left over.
This is just it's it's amazing.
And and this is why I constantly cringe when I hear I don't care what party they're from, whatever politician.
We're not spending enough on education.
We're spending it it's absurd here.
The real the real crime is what we're not getting for it.
I mean, this is a disservice.
With these kinds of eighth grade reading levels and math levels.
I mean, there isn't one state here, folks.
One state where uh here, I guess Massachusetts 44 and 43 percent, and I can't find any other state in the forties.
Everybody else in the twenties or 30s, Hawaii 18 and 18.
Uh it looks like just scanning this, the average is going to be about twenty-eight, twenty-eight percent.
Mississippi Mississippi at 19 and 13 percent.
Well, we could blame the kids, Mr. Snerdley, if you want to do that.
You can say the kids are stupid.
We can we can exonerate the teachers, we exonerate all the instructors and blame it.
Is that what you want to do?
Just blame it on the kids.
Blame it on the kids.
This many kids can't be that stupid.
This this many kids cannot be this.
There has to be something fundamentally awry with the way they're being taught.
This is nationwide.
Uh we have a quick timeout.
That no, they're totally capable of learning.
They're just not being taught right, properly, correctly.
May not even be they're not even being taught.
I uh you know, they're probably watching communist instruction films instead of reading things.
They're probably watching all these stupid you know the kind of indoctrination that they're getting.
Like, what is it?
Human geology, is that what it was?
Human human geography.
Human geography.
And that doesn't even teach her to read maps.
Uh back in just a second.
Stay with us.
Uh back uh to the phones we go.
L Rushball, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Mike, from my adopted hometown, Sacramento, California.
Hello, sir.
Hi, how are you doing?
Good.
Hey, uh undocumented border patrol agent Ditto.
I mean you're a minute man.
Yes, sir.
It went down last year.
That's great.
Undocumented border control.
That's tremendous.
Yeah, I was uh last night watching all this and seeing it on the cover of the paper.
I was getting a little depressed because how people were gonna misunderstand that they were criminals marching for criminals, basically.
Uh but this morning I knew I could turn on the radio and you'd uh you'd set it straight.
So thank you very much.
Well, you're more than welcome.
I think it I I I literally think that it was it was it was fascinating.
Here you have these people basically marching against the law.
Yeah.
They're they're they're marching and they're demanding that no law be enforced against them or new no law be written uh that deals with what they were doing.
Uh there's a the Mac Johnson writing today at human events online, had a couple great observations.
One of them was he said that's not all the protests prove.
They also prove how ridiculously out of control our federal governments let the problem get.
Which is worse, he asked.
That a half million immigration criminals and their descendants and sympathizers can be found in a single American city.
Or that the current immigration enforcement system is such a joke that the half million have nothing to fear from openly entering the public streets and arguing against legislation currently before Congress.
It's as if thieves thought they could uh form a union to lobby for fewer cops.
It's just uh, you know, people protesting in ways that Americans seem to think are beneath them now.
Somebody's got to protest if Americans won't do it.
This is another cell sale argument here for uh illegal immigration.
Here is uh Sharon and Port here on Michigan.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush.
You lovable little fuzzaball you.
Thank you.
What grinds me about this illegal immigration protesting is their their sense of entitlement.
I mean, we're not supposed to be the policemen of the world, but apparently we're supposed to be the sugar daddy of the world.
Yeah, well, I know that that but that you know that that just doesn't just affect uh this this group of people.
I mean, there's there there are native born Americans who have that attitude.
But it's that's what they've been told.
Um in fact they have a right.
That's they've been told that that's what America means.
Well, maybe we should add a new add him to our budget, Mexican American or Mexican government prop up expenses.
Whatever you want to call it.
But the the um uh I know it's a serious problem.
The entitlement mentality is a serious and and it has been for years.
I remain confident, though, that that is something against which we're making inroads overall.
Uh I look at Prop 187, uh that was fabulous that the people voted that.
Judge comes along and says, You can't do that, it's unconstitutional.
We have welfare reform.
Uh and and these things, it took a long time to inculcate society with this whole entitlement mentality, and you're not going to get rid of it overnight.
But the more things like this happens, I I'm wondering if Senator Specter and any of these people in Washington, when they watched these protests over the weekend, 500,000 in LA, all those people in Phoenix and Chicago and Washington, you saw hardly a scant American flag.
And you know, that those kinds of pictures will awaken people who are ambivalent about the issue.
Uh they will I I it it just you wonder if Senator Spector saw it.
What does he really think?
Uh apparently it hasn't had much effect on him, but those pictures could be the start of the backlash against when people who are already being granted license to break the law, then say, screw you for trying to enforce your law or write a new one.
Just have to think that some people are gonna say, Oh, well, really?
That's who we're dealing with here?
That can be quite offensive.
Here's Brian in St. Louis, your next sir on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, how are you?
I'm fine and dandy.
Couldn't be better.
It's an honor to talk to you, sir.

Is he on the radio?
No, I'm kidding.
Oh, I'll rush, I call because I was uh Everybody wants to get in the act.
No I have told you don't try this at home.
People like me who are good at it, make it look easy.
Unlike the city.
You've just you've just told a very embarrassing joke on yourself.
I'll give you another stab at it.
What was it that you uh that you called about?
I called because I feel like if these uh illegal aliens want to come into this country and reap the benefits of this country, then perhaps they should go uh be forced to join military to uh earn some of these benefits that they're wanting to reap.
Well, it can't we don't have that.
Well, I mean, there's no there's no conscription, there's no draft.
That's that's not gonna happen.
I I um I understand what you're talking about.
One of the one of the problems that is resulting of this is, and and there are you know people are proposing a law to deal with this too, but uh a child born to illegal immigrants is an American citizen if born here, and that's another thing that the specters of the world, well, we can't break up these families.
Why uh we can just can't just can't do that.
Uh too many people here.
We can't deal with it.
Um when when the illegal immigrant population becomes a mass movement demanding things, which is what is going on in these protests.
Illegal movement demanding things.
I just have to think that if this keeps up, it will um uh lead to a backlash against that which they are seeking.
I have to run, be back, wrap it up right after this.
Okay, folks, I have to scram.
Um got to go up to New York uh later this afternoon.
The annual night of the century.
We do a night of the century every year.
Uh cigar dinner is in New York tomorrow night.
I am going up for that.
Um I I'm co-host this year, and I've never missed one of these things, and I don't know how much longer we're gonna be able to do it up there in that police state.
So um well, we had to move it to Francis Ford Coppola's winery a couple years ago because we couldn't get a permit, which was great, by the way.
