Time Text
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
Caesar Chavez Day in 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 that, a bunch of school kids out there are jumping fences, cutting class, and joining 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 and the email address rush at EIBnet.com.
This is some blockbuster stuff here that Zakarius McCauley is saying today.
He testified there in the penalty phase of his 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.
Masawi'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 member's 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 and a bomb in his 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 Masawi was very composed and articulate and spoke very deliberately while on the stand.
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.
The statement was key to the government's case that the attacks might have been averted if Masawi had been more cooperative following his arrest.
But he asserted he was, oh, now wait a minute.
If you'd 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 illegals, not on a protest march, but one of our offices, then we'll let you stay for six years.
What do you mean?
He's supposed to admit it.
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, you 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 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 Masawi 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 happening pretty much now.
All right, I have an idea.
We are being told here, and let's examine more of this to set this up and illustrate this for you.
Senator Specter, 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, we can't do that, Russia, again.
You don't understand.
We've got 11 million of these people.
12 million.
How are we going to find them?
We're going to round them up.
Why?
It's not workable.
It's not possible.
Okay, so there's no enforcement.
Period.
Maybe, no, no.
Let me just dream.
Maybe some journalists will ask Specter and Kennedy and McCain 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 purposes 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?
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.
Specter will say, well, we can't deport all these people.
Who will do the jobs the American people refuse to do?
Who will do this?
Who will do that?
This is not an answer.
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 will no longer do.
And the anti-war movement probably thinks, yeah, we got a problem.
Because you can imagine the anti-war movement.
I mean, third anniversary of Iraq.
They're excited.
They can't wait for this anniversary.
We're 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 here's the bottom line.
Until Specter and the rest of the people 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 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.
We call on our patriotism 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 tax codes, 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.
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.
Since Senator Specter and since Senator McCain and all the supporters of this amnesty program say, well, $12 million, $11 million, we can't do anything about it.
We can't.
We've got to come up with some way to deal with them already here because we can't deal with it.
Fine.
How about if I were, and I'm speaking hypothetically, just toying with this idea, but how about if I, El 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 going to 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 if 40 or 50 million, hypothetically, but if 40 or 50 million refuse to pay taxes, what are they going to do?
They don't have that many IRS agents.
They don't have that much jail space.
They might actually build jails for this, though.
Call it the Rush Limbaugh Correctional Facility.
They might actually do it.
But then, 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.
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 if the number of illegals is simply too large to deal with, the number of criminals is simply too large to deal with, and you're not going to have any enforcement mechanism.
And all of this is just a bunch of jabberwocky about immigration.
It's just designed to placate you and pander to you and make you think that they really mean it this time.
Quick couple sound bites here just to show you the absurdity of this.
This week with Stephanopoulos, this is during the roundtable, and Hurricane Katrina Vandenhoe was on there with George Will and Fareed Zachariah or Zachariah.
I'm not sure how, how does he pronounce his name, last name?
Zakaria, Zachariah, Zakaria, whatever.
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, Katrina?
Well, wait a minute.
Undocumented immigrants are the backbone of this economy.
They do the suburban laws in this country.
They take care of the kids.
The economy in this country would be in real trouble.
But I think what we're witnessing is if 2005 was the year of the Minutemen 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.
The fax has obviously gone out.
Illegal immigrant.
Did you hear?
Not even illegal alien now.
Illegal immigrant.
And they are the backbone of America.
So Stephanopoulos says, I want to get to the politics that you just raised, Hurricane Katrina, because there doesn't seem to be much debate over whether or not we should have undocumented.
Tan Credo 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 draconian legislation in the House.
It's un-American.
Okay, that's really nice.
So Tom Tancredo is the new white supremacist, the new David Duke.
That's the politics of this.
Quick timeout.
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 in various stacks, and I always have a stack that I know is just going to destroy and disappoint, depress the left.
You know, one of the big issues for the left is 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, 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.
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 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.
Finger's never been in a dyke, 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 research or evidence yet to 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 Hassenfuss of the George August University of Gettingen 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 news day for the Libs.
Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff 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.
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 Ney, who has stepped down as chairman of the House Administration Committee.
This is going to devastate them because they were just convinced that DeLay was going to be the primary victim of the Abramoff scandal that gave rise to this culture 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 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 up there said, 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 healthcare industry in UK are opting out of it.
Doctors are among this 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 10 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 CisOL 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-payer 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 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 just a little EIB profit center timeout.
Get to your phone calls after this.
Telephone number once again, 800-282-2882.
You know, this story, the German research into 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 to, 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, Michelle Wee.
When I was on at the Bob Hope, Chrysler Classic, back in late January, I did an interview after the third round at PGA West with, I forget the guy's name, but they put it up on their website when we linked to it 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 Duck.
So this guy asked me about Michelle Wee.
And they asked me about that.
I did an interview later that week, 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 to badgolfer.com, but that had bad dolpher.com.
Time magazines picked this up.
Time magazine did 10 questions with Michelle Wee and asked her what she thought of what I had said.
Well, the problem is what I said was not totally reported.
They asked me about Michelle Wee, and I said, well, 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 tour, if she wants to play the PGA to get some wins.
What are we talking about?
It was assumed, though, when you just take the first thing that I said, which was she's a triumph of marketing, 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 Limbaugh said about you?
And Michelle We is, what is she, 16 now or 17?
When asked what she thought of radio host Rush Limbaugh calling her a triumph of marketing, we, 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 We.
She's fine.
She's a great, she hits the ball 300 yards.
If anything, I'm jealous of her.
But now the whole golf world thinks I'm out there ripping Michelle Wee.
Why would I, what, what would there possibly be to gain ripping Michelle We?
I just gave an honest answer to the question.
What do you think?
I'm going to start.
I'm going to 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.
Well, maybe it will be the McNabb effect.
She'll have a great year.
But I don't know.
I just wanted to straight, because there's a lot of Michelle Wee fans out there.
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, Megadeto.
It's been a good defense contract details from Colorful Colorado.
You mentioned earlier you were surprised to hear about parts of California celebrating Cesar Chavez Day.
And I thought I'd let you know that we hear, at least, did the Denver government also celebrate diversity by observing the Cesar Chavez Day.
So if you want to get your car registered in the DMV, you're kind of out of luck today.
That's in California.
Colorado.
Denver, Colorado, sir.
Oh, it's Colorado.
You mean Cesar Chavez Day also in Colorado?
That's right, sir.
And it's a city holiday for most of the government or government workers, I should say, like the parks and recreations and animal control and whatnot.
I have a question.
You are more informed than I, of course, about things happening in Colorado.
Did Cesar Chavez migrate there from his days in California?
Do you go back and forth?
You know, I was looking that up myself, and I didn't see any reference to Colorado for Cesar Chavez.
I'm not too sure, but according to the websites that I was looking at, I didn't see anything.
Wow.
Okay, well.
Well, here, it's Cesar Chavez Day in more than just California here.
Mike, grab the official EIB welcome and happy Cesar Chavez Day.
Just let it rip there when you.
Thanks very much, Jim, for the phone call.
I appreciate it.
Guess what?
Yeah.
All right, HR.
HR whispering in my IFB says that apparently in Colorado, Caesar Chauvets was a triumph of marketing.
I have an amazing story here.
This came 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 that level, eighth grade level.
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 $16,665 per pupil.
27% of their eighth graders can read at that level, and 29% of their eighth graders are proficient or better in math.
27%, oh, it gets worse than that.
Just hang on there.
District of Columbia, $16,344 per pupil.
12% of those students have an eighth grade or better reading proficiency.
7% have a math proficiency better or equal to 8th grade level.
Now you're wondering who did this survey.
It's a Department of Education study.
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 $10,520.
And yet in D.C., they're spending $16,344 per pupil.
12% of their eighth graders can read at that level or better.
7% of these 8th graders have a math proficiency, 8th grade level or better.
New York is number three at $13,989 per pupil.
33% of those 8th graders can read at that level or better.
And 31% of those can solve math problems.
Now, what, you think they're cheating?
Is that what you said?
33% is 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%, 36%, respectively.
Let's see what's it looks like D.C. is the absolute lowest.
They're the only state in single digits.
Let's see.
Where am I?
Let's look at Florida.
Let me find Florida, $7,571 per student.
I'm probably paying for about 100,000 of them.
25% at an 8th grade level and 26% math.
26% of Florida students are proficient or better at 8th grade math, and 25% are proficient or better at 8th grade reading at 7,000.
Now, you look at these numbers.
Rhode Island, 10,000.
New Mexico, Connecticut, Delaware, 10,000.
Wyoming, 12,000.
New Jersey, 12,000, all the way up to 16,000 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 21 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 so much money left over.
This is just, it's amazing.
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's absurd here.
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 I guess Massachusetts, 44 and 43%, and I can't find any other state in the 40s.
Everybody else in the 20s or 30s.
Hawaii, 18 and 18.
It looks like just scanning this, the average is going to be about 28, 28%.
Mississippi at 19 and 13%.
Well, we could blame the kids, Mr. Snerdley, if you want to do that.
You can say the kids are stupid.
We can exonerate the teachers.
We can exonerate all the instructors.
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 many kids cannot be this.
There has to be something fundamentally awry with the way they're being taught.
This is nationwide.
We have a quick timeout.
Now, they're totally capable of learning.
They're just not being taught right, properly, correctly.
They're not even being taught.
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 geologies.
I want to watch human geography.
Human geography.
And that doesn't even teach you to read maps.
Back in just a second.
Stay with us.
Back to the phones we go.
El 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, undocumented Border Patrol Agent Dittos.
That means you're a minute man.
Yes, sir.
Went down last year.
That's great.
Undocumented border control.
That's tremendous.
Yeah, I was last night watching all this and seeing it on the cover of the paper.
I was getting a little depressed because how people were going to misunderstand that they were criminals marching for criminals, basically.
But this morning I knew I could turn on the radio and you'd set it straight.
So thank you very much.
Well, you're more than welcome.
I literally think that it was fascinating.
Here you have these people basically marching against the law.
Yeah.
They're marching and they're demanding that no law be enforced against them or new no law be written that deals with what they were doing.
Mac Johnson writing today to 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 government's let the problem get.
Which is worse, he acts, 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 form a union to lobby for fewer cops.
It's just 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 sale argument here for illegal immigration.
Here is Sharon and Port here on Michigan.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush, you lovable little fuzzy ball.
You.
Thank you.
What grinds me about this illegal immigration protesting is 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, but that just doesn't just affect this group of people.
I mean, there are native-born Americans who have that attitude.
That's what they've been told.
In fact, they have a right.
They've been told that that's what America means.
Well, maybe we should add a new item to our budgets, Mexican-American or Mexican government prop-up expenses.
Whatever you want to call it.
But the, I know it's a serious problem.
The entitlement mentality is a serious and it has been for years.
I remain confident, though, that that is something against which we're making inroads overall.
I look at Prop 187.
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 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 happen, so I'm wondering if Senator Specter and any of these people in Washington, when they watched these protests over the weekend, 500,000 in L.A., all those people in Phoenix and Chicago and Washington, you saw hardly a scant American flag.
You saw the Mexican flag flying all over the place.
And, you know, those kinds of pictures will awaken people who are ambivalent about the issue.
They will – I just wonder if Senator Spector saw it.
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 i mean when 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 you just have to think that some people are going to say well really you That's who we're dealing with here?
That can be quite offensive.
Here's Brian in St. Louis.
You're 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.
You are a true American.
I appreciate that.
So are you.
Thank you.
Hey, listen.
You have to be a true American if you can recognize that about me.
You are correct, sir.
And who's Cesar Chavez?
Is he on the radio?
I've never heard of him before.
Who's Cesar Chavez?
Yeah, I've never heard of him before.
Is he on the radio?
No, I'm kidding.
Rush, I called because I was.
Everybody wants to get in the act.
I have told you, don't try this at home.
People like me who are good at it make it look easy.
You've just told a very embarrassing joke on yourself.
I'll give you another stab at it.
What was it that you called about?
I called because I feel like if these illegal aliens want to come into this country and reap the benefits of this country, then perhaps they should go be forced to join the military to earn some of these benefits that they're wanting to reap.
Well, we don't have that.
I mean, there's no conscription.
There's no draft.
That's not going to happen.
I understand what you're talking about.
One of the problems that is resulting of this is, and people are proposing a law to deal with this too, but a child born to illegal immigrants is an American citizen if born here.
And that's another thing that the specters are the, well, we can't break up these families.
We just can't do that.
Too many people here.
We can't deal with it.
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 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.
Got to go up to New York later this afternoon.
The annual Night of the Century.
We do a Night of the Century every year.
A cigar dinner is in New York tomorrow night.
I am going up for that.
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 going to be able to do it up there in that police state.
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.
Had a great time.
So if it's cold, I'm outside for two seconds, Max, at any one time.
See you on Tuesday from the Northern Command.
