Time Text
And welcome back to the Rush Limbaugh program.
By the way, programming note, Rush will be appearing this Sunday night at 10 Eastern Time on the Fox show Half-Hour News Hour.
And this time he'll be appearing as himself, not as the President of the United States.
Although I enjoyed that Rush as president thing because it just drove the left completely crazy.
Talk about a nightmare for the left.
In any event, Rush coming back to that program.
They always have a spike in ratings.
That's probably why he's being asked back.
The Fox Half-Hour News Hour Sunday night.
Now, back to the program and the news.
Reuters reporting out of Madrid that 50 nuns in Spain took part in a study.
Teetotaling Spanish nuns drank a half liter of beer every day for none, let's see, what period of time are we talking about?
I guess for a long time.
Sister Almerinda Alvarez told a newspaper in Madrid, quote, we did it for the good of humanity, unquote, or 45 days.
It turns out that after they had the beer, having not had beer before, at least that's what they said, they, well, had an incredible drop in cholesterol, the secret ingredient being hops.
Now, we knew all that here, but now the Spanish nuns know it too.
Peter Pace is out as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of the Armed Forces.
Secretary Gates is obviously putting his stamp on the Pentagon.
It is none too soon and something that should have been done, in my view, not as regard to Mr. Pace, who is the first, I guess, Marine, is he not, the chief of the Joint Chiefs, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
But I think the important thing is here that we have had a raft of Clinton generals that are not yet out of the system.
These are State Department, bureaucrat, appeasement generals who run welfare programs.
They're not warriors.
And, you know, I don't think I'm saying anything out of school here to tell you that we needed a long time ago to get some warrior generals back in place.
I don't know if you are aware of the fact that probably double the number of American soldiers we've lost in Iraq were lost on the first day of the Normandy invasion, June 6th, 60, what, three years ago, 63 years ago, a couple of days ago, and that it was lost because, you know, the generals were not perfect.
They misunderstood the hedgerow problem.
They misunderstood the resistance of the Germans.
They misunderstood the ineffectiveness of Navy gunfire and shorefire.
They misunderstood a lot of stuff because war is about making mistakes.
And the only one who wins a war is the one who makes the fewer mistakes, the fewest mistakes.
Everyone makes mistakes.
It's a horrendous thing, war is.
So are we making the most mistakes in Iraq?
No, we're winning that war in Iraq.
If we have time enough to do it, we will do it.
It takes a long time to win those kinds of wars.
We were in the Philippines 100 years ago for five years against a guy named Aguinaldo trying to win that war.
So without going too far back, let's jump forward.
We'll bring you more information on that in terms of the change now of leadership of our armed forces.
Let's talk instead about China.
Because this is, is it coming clear to you now that China is in the business of selling stuff to us?
I'll just start with what everybody knows.
I'm selling a lot of stuff to us.
I've got made in China stamped practically on my backside here.
Everything you've got comes from China.
Some of it is poisoning your pets.
You know that story from some weeks ago.
Some of it could be poisoning you.
257 Chinese products have been refused in the first few months of this year.
They include dried fruits, apples, peaches, pears, dried mushrooms, frozen bay scallops, and frozen Pacific cod, which apparently were raised in sewage water.
Sort of a recycling.
It was a Sierra Club, I think, had an imprimatur there.
It was a Sierra Club joint venture.
And a lot of other stuff that, I don't know, reasonable people don't eat.
What is this?
Fermented bean curd.
Now, come on.
That was imported to the United States from China?
What?
For the Chinese who are here?
In any event, this story has not been given a lot of play because now it's gotten into things that you should be even more aware of.
I mean, it was bad enough that the melamine was poisoning, you know, and the gluten, the wheat gluten was poisoning your pet.
And you remember what we said about that, just to recap that for a moment, the pet poisoning issue.
It's still going on because the wheat gluten being bought by pet food manufacturers from China, the manufacturers here in the United States, was always tested for protein content because then they could put on their bags, you know, protein-enhanced.
Melamine is a chemical having nothing to do with protein, but gives a false protein reading on the protein test that is most often used on wheat gluten to determine what protein level is in it.
So you put in this chemical, which is dangerous and which will kill your pet, and it gives a false high protein rating.
You charge the crazy gringos a whole bunch of money if you're a Chinese manufacturer, because the melamine is a heck of a lot cheaper than putting in actual protein.
And then you get, you know, you get dead pets in the United States.
Unfortunately, they're doing the same thing on American food products imported to the United States from China on food products and on toothpaste.
Did you see this latest one?
U.S. Drug and Food and Drug Administration issuing warnings now to avoid potentially deadly Chinese-made toothpaste containing diethylene glycol.
Now, if this doesn't ring a bell to you, diethylene glycol is a solvent used in antifreeze.
70 years ago, an elixir was sold in the United States containing this particularly delicious combination of chemicals.
It killed 107 Americans before it was taken off the market 70 years ago.
So the FDA is saying, check the label for toothpaste.
If it says made in China, this is actually what the FDA said.
If it says made in China, throw it away.
So diethylene glycol, also known as digly glycol or diglycol stearate, any of those 51 people in Panama, by the way, died after using a cold medicine imported from China, laced with this stuff, diethylene glycol.
China, of course, responding by saying that there's no scientific evidence whatsoever of that, and that stuff we're importing from the United States is poisoning us, too.
Huh?
And they believe, because they watch television, they watch us obsessed by Paris Hilt.
Fox News had a, what do they call it thing at the bottom of the screen, a crawl?
Well, it wasn't crawling, it was kind of a stationary one.
Court sends sheriff to pick up Paris Hilton and a view of the street for 40 minutes.
They still haven't picked her up, but they had to go to Gates because he was going to actually announce the replacement of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
And I'm sure Fox executives are biting their knuckles, slamming their fists down in frustration.
Headline News at CNN has no problem.
They've just stayed with the empty street in front of Paris Hilton's house.
They didn't even go to bait.
They didn't even go to the.
You've got to love it.
All right, latest on the China poisoning the United States scandal.
There's a new concern.
This was posted June 7th yesterday by the Food and Drug Administration from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission that involving lead, lead, for crying out loud, has now shown up in toys, in makeup, in glazed pottery, and other products from China.
Lead poisoning, of course, was once a liberal crusade because it was found in old paint in tenements and lower-income folks' houses, and the kids would chew on the paint.
This is something I always thought was a parental supervision problem, but apparently it was my problem.
I had to pay for banning lead in paint, so now paint doesn't last as long and so forth because it doesn't have lead in it.
So, lead to kids.
Except today, we are bringing in from China products full of lead, including, and here's a picture of a girl, she can't be four, probably three, with eyeshadow imported from China under her eyes.
Now, once again, ladies and gentlemen, what is a three-year-old doing in eyeshadow?
Dare I get out on this limb?
I don't care if it had lead in it or ginseng.
What is it doing on this three-year-old child?
She doesn't look like a Hindu.
1-800-282-2882.
Let's take a call before I get too far out on that.
Chris in Pueblo, Colorado.
Hi, Chris.
Hi, how are you today?
Chris, good.
Welcome to the Russ Show.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
Oh, this is kind of off of your address, and I'll include too: I have a unique and special cigar that I wanted to send you guys.
In Christmas, I had sent my son in Iraq a selection of different cigars for he and his buddies.
He was in Ramadi, and we lost him February 22nd.
And it appears that he was one of those that had a whole lot to do with the turnaround and how things are really working Ramadi about three weeks ago.
So we got his personal effects back, and with him came some of the cigars back.
And I've used them on a couple occasions when his people in the command and the 19 it is out of Fort Carson have come back on leave and had a chance to sit down and enjoy what would be one of the more well-traveled cigars and just commemorate and recognize the incredible service and the job these guys are doing out there that is getting give us your son's full name, sir.
Staff Sergeant Joshua Hager.
We salute him.
We lost him February 22nd in Ramadi.
We salute him.
We dedicate the show to him and his sacrifice and all of those who are dying for freedom, who have been wounded, who have been in the real war, not the bumper sticker that some people think it is, in the real war.
And it would be a privilege and an honor to smoke that cigar and remember him, his sacrifice, and everything he means to all of us for what he has done, Chris.
And God bless you and the family.
Thank you for calling.
I'll just put you on hold.
They'll give you an address for that.
And again, thanks for being there and reminding us what's really important today in the news.
I'm Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh.
Back with more after this.
Shades of OJ, the sheriff's car has now picked up Paris Hilton at her home.
What do you bet the sheriff's car, let me describe it for you?
It's a black and white, and it has a number on the top.
It's now being followed by helicopters from Hilton's home.
The helicopters in L.A., all of the networks now covering, it's like OJ.
They're covering this car going from her house to the courtroom.
But on the top of the car, it has a number so it can be identified from helicopters.
I guess.
What is that, 865?
What do you want to bet?
That's the most played number in the California lottery today.
Don't you think?
This is a little insight into California thinking now.
This is the way we pick up the vibe.
We have a very effective tax on the poor out here called the lottery.
I think most of you do.
And it's about time the poor paid their fair share.
So Paris Hilton's in the car.
She is in handcuffs.
This has become so politically hot now that they're going to actually start to treat her like an ordinary criminal.
This is going to violate everything we know about L.A.
I mean, I don't know how slow this chase is going to get, actually.
They're slowing down to make sure that the driver, I bet the driver rolls down the window and waves at the helicopters.
I'm waiting for the shot.
All right, look, we've got to do some Open Line Friday, don't we?
I mean, isn't this Friday on this program?
We'll do a little Open Line Friday and whatever you want to talk about.
I've had enough to say about a lot of these subjects, and maybe you want to bring up a subject that isn't normally brought up.
Let's see, do we get music for that or no?
No music?
For Open Line Friday?
Okay.
We're finding it very quickly.
Oh, here we go.
All right.
I knew you had it.
Yeah.
See, I get to do this too now.
I'll just field any question you have on any topic.
And wherever you want to go with the show, it's kind of up to you now.
Let's just open the door and see where you want to go.
Mark in Buffalo, New York.
You're first up on Open Line Friday.
Go ahead.
Good afternoon, Roger.
How are you?
Hi, Mark.
Good.
Rush has trained us well over the years, and I always got a kick out of it when he would say that we need to export liberalism.
When you were talking about the Chinese and the melanin problem, I was thinking that it might behoove us as a country to load up a couple large ships full of ACLU attorneys and send them over to China to do battle over all of these pets that have been killed due to this poison put in the food supply.
Excellent idea.
Excellent idea.
The thing that would finally tube the People's Republic of China would be about 200 lawyers.
I think that's all it would take.
I think I read something in the paper, and I haven't been able to recall where it was.
It might have been USA Today.
It was a short story, but the person involved, similar in China to like the FDA director, was charged, and wasn't he sentenced to death for that problem?
Yes, which I, you know, which had Bush done that with regard to the aftermath of Katrina, I think his numbers would have been a little improved.
Hey, thanks for the call.
Here's the latest, by the way, here's the latest safety warning about Chinese stuff.
These things seem to be coming thick and fast now.
Yesterday, the Consumer Product Safety Commission warned that children could be injured or killed because of major defects in an all-terrain vehicle produced in China.
The ATV is called the Kazuma Meerkat 50 Youth All-Terrain Vehicle, imported by Kazuma Pacific Inc. of Stafford, Texas.
Let's see, has no front brakes, no parking brake, and is missing a neutral indicator light, according to the Washington Times.
I don't have an ATV, so I don't know whether you can do without those things or not.
Do you ever park an ATV?
I mean, who cares?
Who has a parking brake?
A neutral indicator light.
What is that?
Anyway, whatever it is, the CPSC is in high dudgeon about this.
The Meerkat 50 lists at $645, and WickedPowersports.com describes it as, quote, without a doubt, the most popular youth ATV, kids' ATV to come out of China, and recommends it for six-year-olds.
Betty in Reading, California, next.
Betty, welcome to the program.
Hello.
Hi there.
How are you?
Oh, I'm doing pretty good.
How are you today, Roger?
Good, good.
Welcome to the program.
Thank you.
Yeah, my pet peeve is right now, you know, with all the recalls from China, which I've been following for quite some time, and the lid in the children's toys has been going on for quite a while now.
Right, right.
And so right now in California, they're trying to pass the law where you can't have incandescent bulbs anymore, which sounds well and fine.
And I've been buying the fluorescent for years, you know, because of the environment and cutting down on the electricity and stuff.
And I can tell you right now that they do not last.
You know, they're guaranteed to last for so many hours, and they do not.
And they're all made in China.
Did you know that?
Yeah, they all are.
Hello?
Yeah, they all are.
Yeah, they all are.
There is not an American maker of those bulbs whatsoever.
They're all made in China.
They release mercury into the environment.
And there we go again with a poison being released on American people.
I used to throw them away.
I didn't know they were releasing mercury until, what, a couple of months ago?
You know, that lady's house turned into a super fund site because she spilled mercury.
It's going to cost her thousands of dollars to pick it up.
She won't save if she had fluorescents for the next 175 years.
She wouldn't save the amount of money she's going to have to spend now to just clean up after the thing broke on her carpet.
Did I tell you that there was a stripper poll in the living room at Paris Hilton's house?
I think I did.
I'm Roger Hedgecock, filling in for Rush.
Let's take your calls on Open Line Friday at 1-800-282-2882.
I also have the latest on Arnold and what's going on in the state.
Some funny California stuff coming up.
Stay with me.
Every network still following the Sheriff's Crown Vic patrol car on the LA freeways as it winds its way with Paris Hilton in handcuffs.
Where it is, she's liking that.
I think they've made two stops.
Had they not made two stops?
First, it was Starbucks and then Victoria's Secret before they got to the courthouse.
Anyway, they are on their way to this is the most followed car since OJs.
They're going to have to retire this car.
Anyway, how much can I mock this as being the most unreal?
Well, but you know what?
This is the new reality.
This is what L.A. exports to the world, celebrity and the craziness.
They had a reporter knocked down in the melee of, what, 50, 60 reporters and cameras trying to rush the car.
The car puts on the sheriff's car.
He puts on his siren and lights to get out of the driveway there in the unbelievable.
I had a chance in Sacramento, speaking of another unreal part of California, to We did two shows on the local show up there earlier this week.
I kind of held their feet to the fire.
Had some listeners paying their way up there to get after the state legislature on certain issues relating to immigration.
And had a chance with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who came to address the show.
He addressed our dinner that night and invited us all out to smoke a cigar with him outdoors.
Kiddered him about the Cuban cigar he had in Canada.
He said with a laugh that it was a fake one.
In any event, Arnold Schwarzenegger, this is unknown, I guess, outside of California, is in big trouble because he is pursuing contradictory goals.
Last year, he got the voters of California to go into debt, I mean, a record, record debt, 40-some billion, I forget the exact number, $40-some billion dollars to build new highways and dams, infrastructure improvement stuff.
And then he also championed a bill that would cut down on global warming, would commit California to, by a certain date in the future, cut its emissions of greenhouse gases by a certain amount.
And you can't build freeways and dams and infrastructure and reduce your greenhouse gases.
One of the biggest pollutants, CO2, for example, carbon dioxide, is the manufacturing of cement.
Kind of hard to build a freeway or a dam without cement.
So now Arnold is pursuing two contradictory goals at the same time.
And waiting in the wings is a Looney Tunes who has already been governor of California, who will exist on both planes simultaneously.
He's trained both as a Jesuit and a Buddhist to do this.
And I'm speaking, of course, of the revered former governor of our state, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
Okay?
Jerry Brown is back.
Jerry Brown, if you'll recall, former governor, Moonbeam was his favorite nickname, back from the 70s.
Less is more and all that other craziness.
I never did understand that more than I, and I never understood freedom is, what is the Janice Joplin line?
Freedom, the only thing you have, anyway, I'll come back with that.
But I never understood this one.
Less is more.
How simple can I get?
More is more, less is less.
Less is more?
Anyway, Jerry Brown is back.
And he's now the Attorney General of the state of California.
And he has sued San Bernardino County because San Bernardino County adopted a general plan for the county that did not take into account the impact of growth on global warming.
Now, Jerry Brown doesn't know whether San Bernardino County is contributing to global warming or not, but it sounds good in the press release.
Now, San Bernardino County has to question every hospital, every road, every house, every patio, everything that's going to be built under their general plan as to whether or not there has been a sufficient consideration of the impact on global warming.
In other words, nothing will ever be built in San Bernardino County, one of the fastest-growing areas of California.
Jerry Brown has taken the governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has taken him at his word.
He is now saying, fine, Governor, I know you have $40 billion to build all this stuff, but you can't build it because if you're serious about global warming, you can't build anything.
You can't build anything.
This is going to be a very, and for California, this is going to be a very, very interesting exercise.
And where do you go from here when you're trying to have both sides?
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
Was that it?
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
I said that to myself, I mean, even back in the 70s when I heard it from the wonderful Janice John, I said to myself, what does that mean?
All right, to the phones on the Rush program.
I'm Roger Hedgecock, Philly, InforRush.
1-800-282-2882.
John in Sheboygan, Michigan.
Go ahead.
Hi, John.
Hey, I wanted to get your take on something.
It's Mayor Ray Nagan thinking about running for governor of Louisiana.
Yes.
Do you think that'll work out at all?
Well, what are the people going to say to it?
He certainly, well, we'll see what Louisianans say.
They returned Congressman Jefferson, what's his name, right?
He was also in court today.
That was covered in about 14 seconds on MSNBC this morning.
We are now getting the chase to see the very live pictures.
Paris escorted to court, apparently in handcuffs.
Oh, Fox is saying, Paris handcuffed and tossed into cruisers.
She was gently eased into the cruiser on her handcuffs with a big smile on her face.
Anyway, look, I don't know what people in Louisiana are thinking having Ray Nagan as the obviously incompetent mayor of New Orleans, much less the governor of that state.
I'm just stunned that the guy got elected again or that William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, was elected again after $90,000 in cold cash in the freezer was found.
All of that stuff, okay?
I don't understand anything about Louisiana other than it's consistent with their history.
It is a French-influenced corruption, it is the, you know, well, it's the middle of the road in New Orleans.
And, you know, most of their governors go to jail.
What is that guy named Edwards built all the hospitals and got kickbacks and whatever that was?
And I don't mean to gloss over it, but apparently that's the M.O., isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, John, now, why would you in Michigan bring this up, by the way?
Well, I just wondered why it didn't get any coverage on the news.
I mean, Paris-Hilton might be a stretch, saying that's why I didn't get any coverage, but it just seems something like this would be talked about on Rush or something like that.
And I wanted to bring it up, see what you guys thought about it.
All right.
Well, I think you've stretched us to the limits of what I think about it.
Rush could probably go and give you a much more detailed analysis.
I'll tell you what.
I'm thinking about Nagan.
I go, this guy's not news.
He's an incompetent mayor who destroyed his city, and he's going to run for governor.
Well, sounds like par for the course in Louisiana.
I don't know.
What do you think?
I'll look to see what other people think, John.
Thanks for the call.
Here's Pete in Traverse City, wherever.
Hi, Pete.
Hello, Roger, and thanks for having me on today.
Hi, where is Traverse City?
Traverse City would be, if you held your left hand up in front of you, it'd be right at the top of your pinky finger.
That would be in the Pacific Ocean.
But what state are we talking about, Pete?
Oh, Michigan.
Michigan, I'm sorry.
Okay, good.
No problem.
I'm calling stem cell research.
You were on that earlier.
Sure.
And the facts of the matter are, after 25 years of research, adult stem cell research has resulted in, as of last week, 73 treatable conditions, everything from bladder disease, liver disease, Parkinson's, heart conditions, many different types of cancers.
Where on the other hand, embryonic stem cell research has produced absolutely nothing on its political side.
No, I said that.
Right.
But I didn't hear you say the 73 and 200.
No, but thank you for filling that in, Pete, and I appreciate your call.
I want to talk about the war on Walmart, too.
If I can just slip this in.
There is, as you know, a AFL-sanctioned war on Walmart because Walmart is not union.
Now, I suppose, am I just too naive here?
If the employees at Walmart, and let me go out on a limb, not one of whom I suspect, not one of whom has been forced to work there.
Has anybody driven at the point of a gun someone to be employed at Walmart?
If they have, please call because I don't want to be inaccurate.
Assuming for a moment, just a moment, that they are all voluntarily employees of Walmart, they have under the federal law the right to vote and organize and be represented by a union of their choice.
I don't recall any such vote being taken.
I don't recall any such interest in the part of Walmart employees or any at least that interest translating into a federally sanctioned vote.
However, AFL is still after Walmart because they are proving that an American company can become the biggest one in the world, even under all the rules and regulations and onerous things that bedevil business creation in this country today.
And there is a determined counterattack by the AFL.
It's happening in a lot of local communities, and just last week it happened here in River City, otherwise known as San Diego.
We'll be back.
See a little music man allusion there for you again.
We'll be back on the Rush Limbaugh program.
I'm Roger Hedgecock, 1-800-282-2882 with the news about the Walmart war in San Diego after this.
Welcome back to the Rush Limbaugh program here on the EIB Network.
1-800-282-2882, Roger Hedgecock filling in for Rush.
Now, the war on Walmart, let me just insert this because the world has come to a standstill with the Paris Hilton cavalcade to the courthouse.
Every single station is a turn to this.
I think America has come to a halt.
I think every workplace, in every gathering corner in our great country, Americans have gathered round the television watching the progress as this heiress is hauled back into court.
This judge doesn't know how much money he's made her.
Do you know what the going rate was for a paparazzi photo if they could get one of her in her cell?
The offer on the table in L.A., I am told, was $1 million.
And that's ultimately what this is all about.
Anyway, back to Walmart and the war on Walmart.
In San Diego, the city council considered last year and considered again this week an ordinance that would specifically ban a certain size big box store if it included cheaper groceries.
Now, if you're Costco or some of these other stores that are membership stores, you weren't included.
The ordinance was specifically an anti-Walmart.
Now, get this, a local city council picks out a specific business and tells them they may not do business in their city.
This is still America question mark?
Free country capitalism?
I don't think so.
They actually believe at the San Diego City Council they have the right to do that and the responsibility to do it, and it's the right thing to do, to ban a business that would, in effect, bring in cheaper groceries, to say to their constituents, we're going to tell you how much you're going to pay for groceries, and it isn't going to be low.
It's going to be high prices.
Higher prices for groceries are good for you.
Five to three.
It passed.
Now, not only that, I thought I would bring you, this doesn't often get enough play.
The kinds of people who sit on city councils are the sorts of people who then are congresspeople, and then they're senators, and then they're, you know, Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton and whatever.
They start out.
They start out as Tony Atkins, who is a councilwoman in the city of San Diego.
And when faced with all of the overwhelming evidence that it was simply un-American, uneconomic, and would cause her constituents higher grocery prices to vote against Walmart and to vote for this ordinance banning Walmart because of, well, let me just play her own words about her reaction and why she's voting yes on the ordinance.
I know that I'm not an economist.
I also know that I grew up extremely poor.
And yes, we would have shopped at Walmart.
My family has.
I've said that.
But I also think it's incumbent upon us to look at the broader impact for communities and make hard decisions that hurt a little bit today for the greater good of the greatest number of people.
Did you get that?
I'm not an economist, therefore I don't know anything about the free enterprise system.
I have no clue.
And if we were poor, we would have shopped around for the best price, too.
But that's not really the issue.
The issue is the broader impact.
The issue, and let me decode this for you.
The broader impact, decisions that hurt a little bit today, the greater good of the greatest number of people.
What she's talking about, of course, is the continuation of the flow of labor contributions into her campaign.
I know that's not exactly what you would get out of that phrase, those phrases, but that's what she's talking about.
She's talking about becoming a state legislator because she's going to be turned out in 08 from her city council race, and you've got to keep moving up the ladder because she's not an economist.
She's not anything else either.
This is what she knows, public service in behalf of the labor unions.
So she's got to continue to work up the ladder.
The greatest good for Tony Atkins is to vote against her constituents having access to cheaper groceries and more choices in the United States of America.
This is where they start.
They don't just start in the U.S. Senate.
They don't start in the U.S. Congress.
They start on your city council.
Here's Ben Hueso, another member of the San Diego City Council, being a lot more direct about it.
It's very irresponsible just to say, let the free market decide.
I think that is extremely irresponsible.
It's completely walking away from our responsibilities as our city government.
It's irresponsible to let the free market decide.
This man could be a congressman, a United States Senator, a governor.
When he is, he'll be telling you what car to drive, what to eat.
The State Assembly, full of people like this in California.
The State Assembly yesterday said we can't cook with trans fat, whatever that is.
They were in favor of transgender.
Now they're against trans fat.
I don't know about either one of those things, but trans anything should be my choice, not theirs.
Ben Hueso, it's irresponsible to let the free market decide.
What's irresponsible is to allow people with that mentality anywhere near a public office in the United States of America.
I'm Roger Hedgecock, filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
Back after this.
Coming up on the Rush Limbaugh Program here at the EIB Network, Roger Hedgecock filling in for Rush, who, by the way, can be seen this Sunday night on the Fox show Half Hour News Hour, appearing as himself this time, not as President of the United States.
I like that president thing.
That drove the left crazy.
In the next hour, we're going to pick up on a story that, again, blew out of San Diego, but I think it's happening in every community in this country.
As Muslims move into and become a bigger part of a lot of communities, some things are happening that I don't think we were allowing other groups to have.
And I have a substitute teacher, and her story about what happened when she filled in at an elementary school here in San Diego and what went on has now become the subject of a huge controversy here.
But it echoes throughout the country.
It's not just the foot bats up at the Minneapolis airport or at these various colleges.
It's not the prayer rooms.
Wait till you see all the rest that comes with it.
Well, wait till you hear it here on the Rush Limbaugh program when we return.
