Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Yes, America's Anchorman is away today, and this is your undocumented anchor man sitting in.
Mark Stein, honored to be here.
No supporting paperwork whatsoever.
I'm from the foreign exchange student wing of the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Yes, I cannot tell a lie.
I am a foreigner.
It's a it's a pre-existing condition.
But don't worry, it's uh it's covered by Obamacare now.
So welcome to another week of excellence in broadcasting.
Only substitute host level excellence in broadcasting today, I'm afraid, but it's it's perfectly serviceable.
I'm the Scottish National Health Service ear, nose, and urinary tract hospital to Russia's Mayo Clinic.
So don't worry, you won't you won't notice a thing.
Uh Rush will be back um.
Rush is back Wednesday, is that right, H.R. He's back on He's back oh, he's back on he's uh back on Thursday.
As as you know, he's in an undisclosed location.
It took him eighteen hours to fly there, and uh and fifteen hours to fly back.
So on bad days, that could be a shuttle from New York to DC.
But uh eighteen hours there, fifteen hours back.
So if you can work out where he is, you could win your very own free Rush Limbaugh guest host.
Where we're giving seven or eight away in the co course of the show today.
Uh they're all called Mark, so you don't have to worry about whether you can remember their names or not.
But if you can guess the uh the correct undisclosed location that he's in.
Eighteen hours there and fifteen hours back.
It's one of those sort of time warp, uh time warp things.
It's like Obamacare.
You know, you pass it one Sunday in Congress and 40 years regretting it.
Great to be with you.
Week two of Obamacare, week two.
Uh Are you a racist?
Are you a homophobe?
Are you a misogynist?
Well, you've come to the right place.
Uh, because this is the one-stop shop for all your racist, homophobic, uh, misogynist, angry white man rage.
From the Times Union of Albany, New York.
White men shun Democrats.
White men shun Democrats.
Millions of white men who voted for Barack Obama are walking away from the Democratic Party, and it appears increasingly likely that they'll take the midterm elections in November with them.
For more than three decades before the 2008 election, no Democratic president had won a majority of the electorate.
In part that was because of low support, never more than 38% among white male voters.
Things changed with Obama, who not only won a majority of all people voting, but also pulled in 41% of white male voters, unquote.
This is the uh Times Union, uh uh in Albany, New York.
White men shun Democrats.
Uh Obama only a year and a half ago pulled in forty-one percent of white male voters.
These were white men you remember like uh Chris uh Chris Matthews, who said uh Obama's so good I I forgot he was black.
Um I felt the uh I felt the same way about the Mills brothers, I think.
Incidentally, if that were true, uh wouldn't uh wouldn't Chris Matthews have forgotten to remember he'd forgotten Obama was back.
Anyway, now these white men have uh suddenly remembered, oh yeah, he's black, and like the headline says, white men uh shun Democrats.
Frank Rich in the New York Times.
The rage is not about health care.
This is the rage that's out there.
You're probably part of it.
You see it everywhere, all this rage.
Uh CNN showed all this rage in uh Searchlight Nevada, uh, anti-Harry Reed rage.
But Frank Rich says the rage is not about health care.
Quote, it's merely a handy excuse.
The real source of the over-the-top rage of 2010 is the same kind of national existential reordering that royaled America in 1964.
Ah, yes, in the uh in the Democratic Party, it's always nineteen sixty-four, and it's always uh Selma Alma Alabama, except that uh, of course, now it's not the Democrats who are the redneck racists, it's uh it's you, yes, you.
Because as Frank Rich explains, quote, if Obama's first legislative priority had been immigration or financial reform or climate change, we would have seen the same trajectory.
The conjunction of a black president and a female speaker of the House, topped off by a wise Latina on the Supreme Court, and a powerful gay congressional committee chairman, would sow fears of disenfranchisement among a dwindling and threatened minority in the country, no matter what policies were in play.
When you hear demonstrators chant the slogan, Take our country back, these are the people they want to take the country back from, unquote.
So you may think, you may think you object to Obamacare, because it will dig us deeper into a multi-trillion dollar hole.
But it's really because you're itching to get your sheet on and string up that uppity negro.
You may think you object to Obamacare, because it will lead to a massive shortage of primary care physicians.
But it's really because you're uncomfortable with powerful women and you'd like to slap around that Nancy Pelosi the way Bogart does to Mary Asta in the Maltese Falcon, because that's the only language these lippy broads understand.
You may think you object to Obamacare because the federal government forcing you to buy a particular form of health insurance is unconstitutional.
But it's really because you think that wise Latina on the Supreme Court should be turning down your hotel bed and leaving a complimentary chocolate on your pillow.
You may think you object to Obamacare, because the stupid tanning salon tax will drive tons of small business operators out of business.
But it's really because Barney Frank reminds you that you've always been slightly confused about your own sexuality, and at the back of the desk straw, you've still got the phone number of that guy you wrote back when you put the by curious male seek similar small ad in the back of the classifieds.
And to be honest, when Congressman Frank gets butch and slaps around those bank executives, it's beginning to turn you on a bit.
This is Frank Rich's analysis, for which the New York Times handsomely remunerates him.
It's not about health care.
It's because you cannot handle having the country run by a black man, a woman, a Latina woman, and a gay man.
By the way, by the way, I can't speak for for all you racists and homophobes, but I opposed government health care in Canada, uh, the United Kingdom, and everywhere else have been on the receiving end of it.
And in those countries, uh no black men, uh, no women, no Latino women, uh, no gay men were involved in it at all.
Uh in Canada, uh socialized health care was introduced by a dull white man with the dull whitebred name of Tommy Douglas, uh in uh in uh the United Kingdom, it was introduced by a dull Welsh man uh with the whitebred name, well, for Wales, of uh Nye Bevan.
No gays, no blacks, no women, and I still hated government health care.
So uh so I don't know.
No doubt it's true that you guys opposing it in the United States are all homophobic, racist, misogynists, but sometimes, sometimes, even when white guys do it, even when heterosexual white men uh introduce uh government health care, uh, I still objected to it.
In related news, in related news, a headline from the selfsame edition of the New York Times as that Frank Rich piece, quote, can New York be saved, unquote.
Can New York be saved?
Hang on a minute.
New York State did everything the New York Times wanted, and everything the candidates endorsed by the New York Times campaigned on.
And New York State did everything the New York Times wants the federal government to do to the rest of the country.
So how come the New York Times is now asking, quote, can New York uh be saved?
Uh but by the way, these guys do really believe this stuff.
From the uh Washington Post, why did health care reform pass?
Uh it's because, says Vince Buzdeck, who's just written a book apparently on Nancy Pelosi, it's because uh Nancy Pelosi is a woman.
Uh sure President Obama pushed health care reform to the top of the country's agenda, and the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate were essential to passing the bill.
But make no mistake, the overhaul happened because Nancy Pelosi wanted it to happen deep in her DNA.
When Pelosi made expanding health care one of her top priorities, friends and colleagues say it was without question because she is a woman and a mother.
And on the House floor, she said, after we pass this bill, being a woman will no longer be a pre-existing condition.
That is Nancy Pelosi's explanation uh for for for why we need uh government health care.
And the Washington Post says uh the Washington Post actually says, no, health care passed because Nancy Pelosi is a woman.
Uh so she Passed health care reform because she's a woman, therefore, if you oppose health care reform, uh you oppose women.
But uh but if you're a hater, as I said, you've come to the right place.
I don't care who you hate, blacks, women, gays, or what the hell all of them, because we dig your angry, incoherent rage.
We're not going to go all anger management on you.
We're not going to get out the new age wind chimes.
If you want to be an angry white male, this is the place to be.
1-800-282-2882.
Oh, also in related news, also in related news.
From the Washington Post, bricks thrown through GOP office windows in Charlottesville.
Bricks were thrown through windows of a Republican Party office in the Charlottesville area late last week in an act that seemed similar to incidents of political vandalism reported elsewhere.
Sites, uh Eric Seitz, committee vice chairman, said two bricks came through windows at the party's offices on Albemarle Square on Thursday night or early Friday.
But how can this be?
We've just been told that uh angry white men uh are fleeing the Democratic Party, angry white men are just at the Tea Party movements, uh angry white men's incoherent uh rage uh is all directed at the Democratic Party.
How can it possibly be then that somebody went and threw bricks through the office of a Republican Party uh county committee in uh in Charlottesville?
Doesn't seem to make any sense that.
Very bewildering to me.
Uh we have seen uh there is actually a strategy behind this.
By the way, um Andrew Breitbart at BigGovernment.com is offered uh ten thousand dollars to give ten thousand dollars, I think uh uh not to the NAACP, but to some other approved uh to a charity of John Lewis's choosing, if John Lewis can produce any proof that anyone actually called him the N-word.
Uh they claim they had cameras everywhere when these guys were going in.
So if there was camera footage of anybody using uh the N-word, it would have been all over TV by now.
Instead, Frank Rich has taken this at face value, uh that that uh that large numbers of people were using the N-word, directing the N-word at Congressman uh John Lewis.
Uh Andrew Breitmart Breitbart has said he will give uh ten thousand dollars uh to uh to a uh uh uh I think it's the uh what is it, the United Negro College Fund, if uh if Congressman Lewis can actually uh uh can actually produce evidence of this.
It's very interesting to me.
Uh all through the last ten years, we've had an increasing phenomenon of fake hate crimes at American colleges.
This is where, you know, someone says, Oh, someone put a noose on my door, and it turns out that it was the student who filed the complaint who'd put the noose on the door.
Now uh congressmen congressmen are indulging in fake hate crimes.
Uh congressmen uh are claiming to have heard words that there is no evidence anybody ever uttered at them.
Uh they're giving they're giving unsupported stories, even when there are dozens of cameras around uh to record any incidents, uh there's there's nothing on there's nothing on tape.
Congressmen are now doing what college students do, which is bad enough, by the way, of uh of faking hate crimes.
But Andrew Breitbart has challenged John Lewis uh to provide some proof of this, and he will and he will uh give him ten thousand dollars.
Now, this is to to, I believe, the United Negro College Fund.
Now, this is uh very important because what uh is going on here?
Nobody wants to discuss the merits of the health care bill on the Democratic side.
They're beyond all that.
They didn't read the bill when they voted for it, so they can't discuss them the merits of it.
They voted for two thousand pages, they don't have a clue what's in there.
Uh what they want to do, which is frankly a lot easier, is to demonize you as a hater, as a racist, as a homophobe, as a misogynist, because it's easier than having a conversation about this.
It's easier than debating the merits of health care.
It's much better to demonize it and to say to the big, mushy middle of so-called independent moderate centrists, you don't want to get mixed up with these people because they're haters.
Uh so that's why it's important not to let people like Frank Rich get away with this and to expose this stuff for the idiocy that it is.
If anybody th thinks opposition uh to Barney Fran a distaste for Barney Frank's sexuality is is what's driving opposition to digging America into a multi-trillion dollar hole.
Even Frank Rich cannot really believe that.
Uh so uh we'll be discussing that and lots more straight ahead.
The start of another week of excellence in broadcasting.
1-800-282-2882, Lots more straight ahead.
Mark Stein, InfoRush on the EIB network.
Anger, anger stalks the land.
Rage, incoherent rage is out there.
Out there.
So if you're one of those angry, incoherent people, we love to hear from you.
1-800-282-2882.
Speaking of anger, Nazis everywhere.
The Nazi resurgence is getting out of hand.
This is this is from the Sunday Times of London.
By day Mark Garlasco was human rights watch's only military expert.
Do you know Human Rights Watch?
This is uh this uh organization funded by George Soros, who funds these Media Matters guys who sit wherever they are.
George Soros plays a bunch of guys called Zachary to sit and type up everything said on this show uh every day in the hopes that they'll have a big gotcha moment uh and can end Russia's career.
And it's very good of uh George Soros to do this, because otherwise uh the EIB would have to pay for a transcription service, which can really set you back a a quite quite a lot of quite a lot of money.
So it's actually much better to outsource it to uh all George Soros' left-wing uh vigilant watchdogs who are prepared to do it for minimum wage.
Um but aside from that, George Soros a also funds uh this uh thing called Human Rights Watch.
And we're all concerned, like Frank Rich says, about all the hate out there, all the ugliness, all the uh all the strange Nazi totalitarian fascist overtones to what we're beginning to see on the streets.
So I was very struck by this story.
Uh quote, by day Mark Garlasco was human rights watch's only military expert, the person that its emergency divisions would send to conflict zones to investigate alleged war crimes.
He wrote reports condemning the dropping of cluster bombs in the Russia-Georgia war, the alleged illegal use of white phosphorus by the Israeli army in Gaza, and coalition tactics that he said unnecessarily put Iraqi or Afghan civilians at risk.
An enthusiastic source of quotes for the media, he was incessantly on the phone to journalists.
But by night, Garlasko was flak eighty-eight, an obsessive contributor to internet forums on Third Reich memorabilia, and an avid collector of badges and medals emblazoned with swastikas and eagles.
Uh a lavishly illustrated 100 book he compiled is dedicated to his grandfather, who served in the Luftwaffe.
On members-only sites such as Wehrmacht Awards.com, he was writing comments like, quote, very nice Hitler signature selection.
That is so cool.
The leather SS jacket makes my blood go cold.
It is so cool.
Unfortunately, the human rights watch has now parted company from the Nazi memorabilia enthusiast from uh Mark Mr. Mark Garlasco.
They uh they're uh the human rights watch's only military expert.
Uh but alas, his uh his interest, his uh his uh uh uh somewhat obsessive interest in the Nazi era has now done for him.
So Frank Rich has a point.
There's a lot of there is a lot of unpleasant Nazi uh overtones uh out there.
But the Frank Rich isn't worried.
The uh media aren't worried about the Nazi enthusiasts at Human Rights Watch.
Uh what they uh what they're worried about is the non-Nazis turning up in large numbers uh at uh at these Tea Party rallies.
Did you see the one in Search Light Nevada over the weekend?
CNN's coverage said at least dozens turned out in Search like Nevada.
At least dozens turned out.
Go take a look at the picture of the of this uh of this meeting.
Uh there are uh over there are uh several uh thousand people in Searchlight Nevada, uh but according to C Ed Ed, it was at least dozens who turn out.
When you look at CNN's arithmetic when it comes to counting up uh the attendees at uh at uh Tea Party rallies, uh you begin to understand why they think these same people then think uh spending trillions of dollars on big government programs will somehow end up uh containing costs in the federal budget.
Uh because they saw thousands of people at this Tea Party rally and reported it to their viewers as an a crowd of at least dozens.
But what they want to do is they want to make it dozens.
Their object here, the media's object here is to make it very clear.
It's to denormalize the objections to Obamacare.
They want to denormalize the protests against Obamacare.
They want to make it something that if you're just like a nice suburban mom living in your suburban cul-de-sac who's concerned about government spending, you don't want to get mixed up with this Tea Party crowd, because they're all haters.
They're all racists and homophobes and misogynists.
And that's why uh what the media are doing, the sustained media campaign now to demonize uh the protests against Obamacare, to delegitimize uh opposition to the Obama agenda has to be rolled back.
Uh because what they're trying to say, what they're trying to say is there is no legitimate criticism uh of the Obama administration.
By definition, if you object to what the Democrats are doing, you are a hater.
Lots more to come.
Yes, great to be with you.
Rush is uh away.
Uh as I said, he's at an undisclosed location, uh eighteen hours out and uh fifteen hours back.
So people are calculating like the uh like the uh tailwinds and uh taking other factors.
We've had some uh serious guesses, because I did say earlier uh that if you guessed the undisclosed location rushes in, you could win yourself a free Rush Limbaugh guest host.
Uh often not applicable in Guam or the Northern Mariana Islands.
Uh but we've had uh suggestions of uh Australia, uh New Zealand, Singapore.
Uh he could have called it could be in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, the um the New Guinea jungles have an excellent health care system.
Um if you're if you're looking for a uh headadectomy, they're they can take your head off in uh in no time and uh also shrink it so you can take it back home with you.
Uh so if you if you want a head transplant, well, not a head transplant, they'll take off your old head.
I think it's extra.
You have to pay extra if you want to get a new head.
But uh the jungles of New Guinea are a great place to go.
So you could be there.
But we're getting uh we're getting suggestions of Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand.
Let's go to Bill from Osborne, Missouri.
Bill, you are live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Great to have you with us.
Hello, Mark.
It's an honor to speak to a truly intelligent person.
Come on, you don't want to believe everything Frank Rich says about you, knuckle dragging Neanderthals emerging from the primeval swamp.
Don't do yourself an injustice, Bill.
Don't do yourself an injustice.
I'm sorry.
Um Mark, I was uh raised in a poor family, a poor Catholic family, and uh I had to pay my way through Catholic high school and uh college and uh majored in history geography, uh ended up farming uh most of my life, and I write also.
Uh my son is a pharmacist and my daughter is a doctor.
Right.
And uh we have we have believed in the American dream and we have tried to instill that in our kids, and I'm a grandfather now.
And uh if I have rage, it's because they're taking away that opportunity that I had and that my kids got, you know, through me.
So Yeah, because you you you make a very good point.
Generational progress.
We take that for granted, but that used to be a very American phenomenon.
If you were living in uh in Eastern Europe uh in the nineteenth century, if you if you were a peasant in Poland in the fourteenth century, you were a peasant in Poland in the nineteenth century, and your family were gonna be peasants in Poland in the twenty-fourth century.
That's why people came to America.
That's why they got on the boat to Ellis Island.
Uh because you could get off the boat as a peasant and you'd be living in a hovel in the Lower East Side uh and your son would move uptown and your grandson would be a doctor with a nice place uh out in the suburbs.
And what we are what we are doing now with this, uh by basically uh spending our kids and grandkids' future, is uh is we are condemning people uh to uh to to transgenerational poverty, which is exactly like the places all these uh all these folks left uh in the uh in the nineteenth century.
Great grandparents immigrated from County Sligo in eighteen forty seven in the midst of the potato famine.
Right.
And so I think it it it's here for us, but they just can't take it away from the.
No, I hope I hope not, because I think that's very serious.
I mean, you what you've got to look at, uh you're like you mentioned your great grandparents came from County Sliga.
I'm like I'm a more recent immigrant to the United States.
And I feel I feel like a nineteenth century immigrant from Tsarist Russia would have felt if he'd if he'd got off the boat at Ellis Island and uh he'd looked at the Satya Liberty and he'd seen the give us your poor, you huddle masses yearning to breathe free, and a footnote at the bottom saying, Oh, by the way, we've just reintroduced serfdom here too.
Uh because that's but that's essentially what's uh what's happening now.
The reasons people came to this country to get away, to get away uh from the inflexible uh socioeconomic arrangements of the countries they fled are now being uh are now being chiseled in granite by an overreaching central government, uh central government here, Bill.
But don't let them take the dream away from you.
The American dream, the American dream is something real and specific to this country.
There is no Belgian dream.
There is no Belgian dream.
Uh don't mothball the American dream uh just 'cause of one lousy Democrat administration bill.
Do do your best to change things this November and every day running up to November.
Great to have you with us on the show.
Let's go to Andrew in Bristow, Virginia.
Andrew, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh show.
Yes, sir.
Well, I was as I was telling the uh the screener, I had an interesting exchange last week with uh uh Congressman Stupak's office.
Right.
I called them and I asked a specific question after seeing him interviewed by Chris Matthews and letting Chris Matthews go on and on about how they're only white people and and that it's a racist movement and him not saying a word.
And I said, how how is it that I can stand up for uh against uh um uh immigration reform with my wife who's a naturalized citizen from El Salvador, and I get called a a racist.
Right.
And how is it that I can stand up with the Tea Partiers and not want this reform that's going to spend my kids' uh earnings uh on my um um today's programs and I get called a racist.
I said, Can you please have Congressman Stuck explain how a white person can protest anything these days without being called a racist.
His response floored me.
It took me two seconds to figure out what he was saying to me.
He said, Being a person married to a person of color, you should know better than to be involved with people like that.
That's that's great.
So even even though you even though you so he's saying he's saying you may not be a racist.
And we don't know that, Andrew, by the way.
You could have just married this person of color for a bit of cover.
She could be a person of color who's your person of cover.
Uh we know all that kind of thing.
It's like Rock Hudson kissing Doris Day in the movies.
It's just overcompensating.
You go ahead and uh you go ahead and you uh and you marry your person of color and you think that licenses you to hang out with a bunch of racists at the tea parties.
It's gonna take a lot more than that, Andrew.
Well, I'll tell you, it's interesting because I I asked him, I I said, you know, you you obviously don't know who you're talking about.
These are my neighbors.
These are people who who live in the community.
And he said, Well, you know, like minds live together.
And I said, Yeah, like minds live together.
People who do not want to have their children's money spent before the children even able to earn it.
Right.
And you know, i it was the usual go around and go around, and I knew where I was going when I called them, but you know, I just couldn't believe the statement that came out of his mouth.
No, the the the the uh there is no legitimate criticism of health care.
Uh these sophisticated analysis, like uh Frank Rich gets a big ton of money to talk about this at the New York Times.
They don't want to argue about health care.
They don't want to argue about the cost of that.
It's way too much trouble.
It's much easier to demonize you and your and your uh and the person of color you're married to as a couple of redneck uh uh racists who are uncomfortable.
You know, you you and your wife are probably uncomfortable with there being a wise Latino on the Supreme Court.
It's much easier to attribute it to your racism.
Well, I'll tell you what, I believe there is, and this weekend I discovered that there may be just a silver lining to all this.
Because I have two very leftist in-laws, and I actually saw a crack when they said it's absolutely ridiculous that all these people were claiming racist.
I don't you know, they wanted health care reform.
Right.
But they actually were appalled that the Tea Parties were be call were being called racist.
Well Well well, the New Hampshire Democratic Party, incidentally, which had uh claimed that the Tea Party movement had been involved with some white supremacist rally uh up in New Hampshire, uh actually wound up apologizing and saying that that was not the case.
So I think uh the the the s the answer here is to not let them get away with it.
Don't let them get away with it.
This stupid coffee party, you know this thing they don't know all the features on?
The coffee party, the liberal progressives in Berkeley and San Francisco and all the other places, have formed these coffee parties.
Uh and there's like seven members in the whole country of this coffee party, but every time they hold a meeting, uh they get tons of coverage in the papers.
Everyone at the coffee the so-called coffee party, they're not coffee colored.
They're all white.
They're white people.
They're white people in the coffee party.
There's more white people in the coffee party uh than there are in uh in the Tea Party, a higher uh a higher percentage.
This is uh th you d uh this is again something that just the peculiar kind of guilt-ridden upscale uh white liberal agonizes over it.
Chris Matthews, when Chris Matthews says that fr he i uh uh Obama was so good in his speech he forgot his own black he uh he was forgot he was black, he's revealing, he's revealing that these guys can think of nothing about race, that white liberal guilt about race is so embedded deep within them that in four hundred years' time they'll still be talking about that.
Even if there's only one white man left uh on the lower 48, even if there's only one m white male on the continent between Maine and California, he will still single-handedly be responsible for all the hate out there.
Uh thank you very much for your call, uh Andrew.
And by the way, by the way, if you want to if you want to shake uh all the uh the the white liberals uh off your uh off your tail, it isn't really you don't have it's not it's not gonna persuade them just because you happen to be married to a person of color, or you happen to be a person of color yourself, uh or you happen to be a woman, or you happen to be a person of orientation or whatever they call it, whatever the approved term is.
Uh because the minute you uh the minute you espouse conservative values as a black man, you cease to be black.
Uh Clarence Thomas doesn't count as black.
So if Clarence Thomas went along to a tea party, well, Clarence Thomas's wife is mixed up in the Tea Party thing, so she must be the biggest racist of the lot.
Uh Clarence Thomas going along to a Tea Party thing, uh it d wouldn't count, it would still be racist.
Uh if Condolisa Rice went along to a Tea Party thing, uh it wouldn't count, it would still uh be racist.
If you were talking to uh that uh the the uh the the gay lady that Rush spoke to, I think on Thursday's show, uh, who uh she and her partner had gone along to one of the Tea Party rallies, because they're concerned about this hideous spending.
Uh that woman would find that if she was to go and hang out with Barney Frank, Barney Frank would no longer recognize her as gay.
It doesn't count.
You can you can be a woman at a Tea Party rally and you're not a real woman.
You can be a black man at a Tea Party rally and you're not a real black man.
Doesn't matter.
Doesn't count.
Because they have the racist view on this.
They have a plantation mentality that it's encoded in your DNA, uh that if you're black, you should be supporting the p the particular policies of a a political party.
It's tribalism, essentially.
It's a tribalist view of politics.
And it's insulting uh to any self-respecting citizen, regardless of his color, regardless of his gender or regardless of his orientation.
Don't let him do that to you.
Uh Mark Stein in for Rush, lots more to come.
Mark Stein in for us.
Uh we were talking to Andrew, who's uh whose wife is from El Salvador.
I would like to I'd like to, before the end of the show, it'd be great if we could get a call from uh one of the you many uh racist uh misogynist homophobes out there who is married to let me work this out, married to a uh a gay uh female uh person of color.
So we'll we we'll see if we can we can up the ante on the uh on the attempted uh on the attempted cover here.
I saw this from I was very interested by this uh story from Walt Disney Studios in their recent casting call for the uh Pirates of the Caribbean, for the fourth film in the series included this uh announcement w f for the female extras, quote, must have real breasts.
Do not submit if you have implants, unquote.
Uh Disney Studios saying they don't want uh they don't want anyone with implants coming to be a uh an extra for the Pirates of the Caribbean film.
And I don't know whether this is like we've seen the uh the backlash from some of the corporations about uh Obamacare.
I don't know whether this is some Obamacare thing.
I don't know whether you can get uh uh implant are implants covered on uh Obamacare I don't know we'll we'll look into that but it's a very interesting development.
Uh you can only have r there'll only be real breasts according to the Disney studio uh in the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film.
By the way, that's an interesting cultural marker.
Can you imagine can you imagine Walt Disney uh circa nineteen forty two uh announcing in it to any degree what there would be no breasts real or fake in Eddie Disney.
Well there were those little cute things that the uh little cute things in some of the uh wilder scenes of uh Fantasia but uh uh where where Walt was letting himself go.
But generally speaking it would not have been necessary for the d Walt Disney Studios to issue an announcement in nineteen forty two about what kind of breasts would be in its upcoming movie.
That was not something that factored into it.
Let's go to Trace in Chattanooga.
Are you doing Mark?
I'm doing great wow you sound you really sound like one of those uh like one of those real Chattanooga Tennessee racists.
Pardon me boy is that the Chattanooga racist well I'll tell you what Mark I'm a media student in college but I'm involved uh active uh I'm the Tennessee Republican or college Republican chairman so I know I'm very aware with what's going on.
Well, in my media class, we always have quizzes, news quizzes from local to nationwide media of what's going on.
And obviously, the health care bill was big last week.
So that was the first five questions on our quiz.
And wouldn't you know, the fourth question was a true or false.
And it said both pro health care advocates and opponents of the bill gathered outside the nation's capital to, you know, in protest or against the bill, but a opponents bill spit on a black African American congressman and yelled out um homophobic terms and racial slurs.
Right.
True or false and I circled false but with it with in quotes there's no proof of this whether it was opponents or opponents or people for it because I said you know obviously we all know about the the Democrat who bashed in uh the headquarters in Denver and um you know conservatives took the blame for that until we found out that that wasn't true.
But wouldn't you know, I was counted off on that.
So you gave the wrong answer.
So this is like a question on the homophobic slurs and the racist slurs that are being uttered at Democratic congressmen.
This is like a true and false question.
So in order for you to advance and progress in your educational career and not to have your life destroyed and be reduced to doing the night shift at the convenience store at the gas station way out past the grain elevator, you've got to tell the...
you've got to give the teachers the Democratic party version of events here.
You bet.
Right.
That's great.
Well well that's a long career in media head huh?
Yeah you've got a great you've got a great career in media head of you.
I love that.
It's a it's a two-party system uh but only one party has all the correct answers according to the uh American educational establishment.
Thanks for your call, Trace.

Hi Mark I just wanted to say um I was at the tea party yesterday in Phoenix and I had read the Frank Rich article over the weekend before going and so we were watching the reporters to see what they would be looking for.
And they were very careful to keep their cameras away from any minorities attending.
They didn't show the children playing on the lawn.
Right.
There no pictures that showed really how big the crowd was they were not interested in in talking to you know small business owners who were there with our children like my husband and myself they only looked for you know people with funny hats or tea bags and they're they they weren't interested in the the um signs people were carrying other than uh guy who had a sign that said veteran or terrorist, I can be either.
Um they they left they left completely disappointed.
Okay, uh Katrina, thank thanks for your call.
Uh thanks for being uh the uh last angry white male to call in in the first hour too.
But you're right, that's what they're looking for.
That's what they're looking for.
The guy with the angriest sign, the guy with the most contorted face.
There were 8,000 people, 8,000 people at the Harry Reid rally in uh search to Tea Party in Searchlight, Nevada.
And CNN reported it to the nation and the world as a crowd of at least dozens.
Uh thank you to Katrina for the call.
Lots more still to come.
