	Yes, America's Anchorman is away, and this is your undocumented Anchorman sitting in, no supporting paperwork whatsoever.
	The lame duck session of the Rush Limbaugh Show.
	Uh guest hosts guest hosts a go-go here.
	I'll be here tomorrow, and uh then we have a best of rush for Christmas Eve and three hours of EIB approved Christmas music, uh, which uh will be there over the weekend.
	Is that Christmas Day, Mike?
	And then uh oh oh uh i i i it could be Christmas Day or it could be uh what uh what Americans call December the twenty-sixth uh or as uh they say in Britain, Canada and Australia and New Zealand uh Boxing Day.
	But it uh it uh but but uh but w it may not be an official holiday in the United States, but it will seem like it if your station is airing the three hours of uh Rush approved Christmas music uh for your listening pleasure.
	Did you see this?
	This this got a bit of play.
	Diane Sawyer had the three big uh intelligence honchos, national security honchos, uh, on her show.
	She had James R. Clapper, the director of national intelligence.
	She also had uh John Brennan, uh this rather fearsome uh looking uh fearsome looking guy, and she had uh Janet in Compatano, the uh the the Secretary of uh uh Homeland Security.
	And and Janet Incompatano got a bit of play because she said that we're protecting you 24-7, 364 days a year.
	So if you happen to know, if you're if any jihadists listening out there, if you happen to know the one day of the year that uh Janet Incompatano is uh is not protecting you, uh you could win a brand new Honda Civic.
	Uh just call the uh Department of Homeland Security now, and if you get the answer right, you could win a brand new uh one uh uh Honda Civic.
	Just call 1800 Pat down.
	Uh any jihadists listening out there, if you got your cell phone listening in the cave in Wasiristan, call the Department of Uh Homeland Security now and you could win that Honda Civic.
	But more interesting than that, more revealing than that, uh, was this absolutely amazing when Diane Sawyer asked the director of national intelligence about the arrests of these twelve terror suspects in London, uh which is the biggest plot in two years uh to be broke to to be busted up uh by uh uh MI5 and Special Branch in in the United Kingdom.
	Big thing.
	Been been the headlines and all the news, been in all the newspapers, been on the TV, been on the radio.
	Diane Sawyer asked the director of national intelligence about this, and he has no idea what she's talking about.
	He gives this blank dear at the headlights look.
	He just looks puzzled, he looks stumped, he looks bewildered.
	Uh and uh and and then John Brennan jumps in and tries to help the guy out by giving him a clue.
	Uh he goes, Oh, uh you you mean the arrests of the twelve individuals by the British this morning.
	And and and Clapper goes, Oh.
	He still doesn't know anything about it.
	He's still uh he's still the he's still the he's st it's still news to him.
	Diane Sawyer comes back to it c comes back to it and says, I'm a little surprised that you don't know about London, Director Clapper.
	And Director Clapper again looks blank and say, Oh, I'm sorry I didn't.
	And then John Brennan again jumps in to protect the guy.
	This is like where you've got a really bad double act.
	Uh really uh a couple of bad you know, you go and see a two-handed play on Broadway, and the one guy hasn't learned his lines, and the other guy keeps trying to feed him.
	Like John Brennan keeps trying to feed Director Clapper, the director of National Intelligence of the United States of America.
	And uh so John Brennan tries to help him and goes, Oh, you referenced London, Diane, but you didn't say anything about arrests.
	Like like Diane Sawyer just mentioned London, so she might have been referring to, you know, the Royal Wedding, or uh Elton John, or who else?
	Who you know, any could be anything going on over there.
	And uh and uh and he still looks completely blank, this guy.
	Watch this.
	If you get a chance to see this uh video on the internet or on the TV, have a look at it.
	This guy, this was the biggest terrorism story of the week.
	This guy being interviewed by Diane Sawyer, the director of national intelligence of the United States of America, hasn't a clue what's what it's about or what she's referring to.
	And when John Brennan jumps in to feed the guy, uh feed the guy the info, he still doesn't have a clue what she's referring to.
	We've been talking a lot about bureaucratization in the uh in the in the last couple of hours.
	This is the bureaucratization of intelligence and national security.
	We've massively expanded the intelligence bureaucracy since 911.
	So there's far more agencies with far more directors of this and directors of that, uh reporting to far more people, sending out more and more memos, sending out more and more information, sending out more and more huge thick folders of files and files and files and files.
	And the guy at the top of the pyramid, the director of national intelligence, James R. Clapper, has no clue about the biggest terrorism story of the week.
	And this is the way it's gonna be.
	This is the way it's gonna be the next time there's a uh terrorist successful terrorist attack on the United States.
	That the bureaucratization of national security, it will again, they'll have all these systems, they'll have put the bureaucra uh bureaucracy in place, they'll have put the bureaucratic systems in place, and when the terrorists smash their way through it and kill a whole big bunch of people, it'll take the brain-dead bureaucracy by surprise as usual.
	Uh the bureaucratized in the end, the bureaucratization of the United States is a bigger existential threat than terrorism.
	You can see that.
	There's this uh the there's this uh I think the Cato Institute has it uh posted on its website, an amazing picture of a man in an American airport, uh he's wearing blue jeans, the blue jeans are halfway down his thighs, and his briefs are visible,
	and there's a man, uh TSA agent kneeling in front of him, they look like uh the they look like some crummy bus and truck roadshow production of the Bill and Monik, Bill and Monica the musical, this TSA agent on his knees uh in front of this guy with his uh pants halfway down his knees.
	Uh this is this is the absurdity.
	We have erected a huge bureaucratic apparatus of security theater, and yet the director of national intelligence of the United States of America does not know the biggest terrorism story uh of the week.
	And I hope this isn't going to be like the panty bomber on Christmas Day.
	Do you remember uh last year uh in the run-up to Christmas we had the pandy bomber?
	And he flew in.
	Uh that is why, by the way, we now our response to that, because a guy boards a plane in Amsterdam and he's got explosives in his brief.
	So because of that, if you're in Columbus, Ohio and you're going on a business trip, you've got to have a TSA agent poking around uh you've got to feel the firm grip of uh the national security state on your genitalia because some guy boarded the plane uh whose father had already reported him to the CIA.
	His father had reported him to the CIA.
	He wasn't on the he was on the no fly list, we were told, but then it was explained that in fact he wasn't really on the no-fly list.
	He was on a kind of standby list for the no-fly list.
	You know, you can't just you can't you you can't just get on the no fly list.
	I mean, sometimes it's fully booked, but you can be put on the standby list to get on the no fly list.
	Uh and he was apparently on the standby list for the no fly list.
	Uh he was uh he had been reported by the CIA, he was still allowed to board the plane.
	And he was uh he got all the way to Detroit.
	And the only reason uh that a bunch of people didn't die and a bunch of people on the ground weren't killed, uh is because uh he he uh he he used a damp m he went to the bathroom and he got his matches a little wet and he didn't light up his underpants sufficiently effectively, they were just sort of damp and smoldering, and people in adjoining seats pounded the bejasis out of him.
	Uh and Janet in Compatano said the system worked.
	The system worked.
	And Barack Obama holed up in Hawaii and didn't say anything for days.
	And you think to yourself, uh well, they're gonna do something about it.
	What they did is they loosed uh the TSA to poke around in three hundred million sets of American genitals uh when you're when you're uh g flying home to see your family in Pocatello.
	Uh but the director of national intelligence of the United States of America looks like completely blank like a deer in the headlamps when Diane Sawyer asks him about the biggest terrorism story of the week.
	So I hope that Al Qaeda the these these rumors, these gossip, this uh chatter we're getting that Al Qaeda are planning something big for Christmas Day.
	Because they do.
	They want a big symbolic thing.
	They'd like a big symbolic thing for Christmas Day.
	They regard this as a religious war, and they would regard that as a symbolic victory, killing infidels on Christmas Day.
	But the idea uh that the director of national intelligence presiding the man in the at the pyramid, at the pyramid of the intelligence bureaucracy.
	The man who decides at what point uh does he have to pick up a phone and call the White House and get the president involved on this.
	Uh that this guy hasn't a clue about the biggest terrorism story of the week uh is uh is absolutely remarkable.
	And in the end, as I said, this is simply just the bureaucratization of the national security threat.
	And uh and that in the end will be a uh a much uh uh uh uh a much bigger a much bigger threat.
	The only thing that worked on nine eleven, we've learned all the wrong lessons from nine eleven.
	Uh on nine eleven, all the guys who followed the bureaucratic procedures on the first three planes died.
	Do you remember when they got the FAA transcripts?
	Uh the there's somebody is uh is calling is calling from the plane and says to the person at the FAA uh says, we need to do something here.
	And the FAA the the person in the FAA says, I'm sorry, everybody just left the room.
	Everybody just left the room.
	That's bureaucracy for you.
	Because it no longer fit the 1970s hijack procedures, nobody could knew what to do.
	So they all left the room.
	Uh it's in the official transcripts of the 911 Commission.
	Oh, I'm sorry, everybody just left the room.
	That's the bureaucrats' response, the bureaucracy's response to 911.
	And now all we've done is we've made the bureaucracy even bigger.
	We've got even more agencies, uh, we've got even more uh bureaucratic memos, and we've got a director of national intelligence who doesn't know the biggest terrorism story of the week.
	1800 282-2882, Mark Stein in for rush on the EIB network.
	Ah, the the Holly and the Ivy.
	Uh are they on the endangered species list yet?
	I d I do hope so.
	The State of Alaska says it intends to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over protections recently put in place to help uh polar bears face with the effects of climate change.
	Polar bears are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
	I don't quite understand this, by the way, because in the Canadian Arctic, there are more polar bears than ever.
	So maybe polar bears are just uh moving from the uh high tax United States of America to the economically liberal Canadian Arctic.
	And the yeah, they're just they're they're going there for the free health care and they're just voting with their feet.
	Uh I mean, why yeah.
	But but but uh uh but polar bears are booming in in the Canadian Arctic, there's more they you got polar bears everywhere you need 'em.
	There's there's a there's a polar bear there for you.
	If you if you miss the first polar bear, there'll be another one along in uh a couple of minutes.
	They're like buses now.
	There's a Yeah, the well that's the other thing is that I love the way uh m m Mr. Snodley points out that the polar bears have been uh mating with uh you they've been like they swing both ways.
	They it's like the whole don't ask, don't tell scene is caught on in the Canadian Arctic now, and they're like uh I don't know what it is there.
	They're uh they're like dating grizzlies, is it?
	They're dating they're dating grizzly bears, and so you're getting uh you're getting um mutations of polar bears and grizzly bears, Pisley bears, I think, or whatever they're calling them.
	And and and a uh no, no, no, not a black bear.
	I have black bears in New Hampshire, and I would not advise any black bear to uh date a polar I don't want to get no no, now we're getting into the we're getting into the Ursign version of driving Miss Nancy, aren't we?
	She Sheila Jackson Lee is saying I don't want mishegenation between polar bears and black bears.
	I I guess no, we'll have a we'll have coffee colored, we'll have coffee-colored bears.
	There'll be uh they'll be high there'll be high yallers or whatever they used to call them.
	Like uh they'll be like uh like uh what you know, what's her name won the uh Oscar uh a couple of years ago uh and uh in uh if it was in the uh the Hallie Halliberry.
	That's where we're gonna have Haliberry bears.
	Bears like berries, they go foraging for berries.
	Now they'll be these new bears will be foraging for Halliberry.
	Okay.
	Now I Yeah, we did take a while to get that.
	It wasn't really worth it in the end.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I how do we where we anyway, the bears, the state of Alaska.
	The state of Alaska.
	Yeah, bears have well there's two points here.
	Bears are bears uh polar bears have got dissatisfied with the polar bear dating scene.
	So they're dating grizzlies.
	And uh and the uh and the environmental crowd are mad about this.
	Uh isn't this what isn't this what you scientific rationalist people like you know, not like us right-wing social conservatives uh uh speaking in tongues.
	Isn't this what you guys call the theory of evolution?
	Hmm?
	Why are you attempting to interfere with the theory of evolution?
	If a polar bear wants to date a grizzly bear, if he wants to date a New Hampshire black bear, if he wants to date Halle Berry, who cares?
	It's uh it's uh why why attempt to get uh mixed up and insert uh what wants to have an effect government regulation.
	I mean, this is actually segregation.
	You couldn't do this.
	This is what we used to do to people in the southern states of the United States.
	They now want to do to the poor polar bear.
	The polar bear might want to once uh wants to, you know, swing both ways and he's not allowed to.
	Uh uh that's you don't want to interrupt uh you don't want to interrupt a polar bear if he gets too far along that process.
	Anyway, the state of Alaska is now intend says it intends to sue the United States Fish and Wildlife Service because they've they've uh designated a hundred and eighty-seven thousand square miles of critical habitat in the Arctic to help the species recover.
	And it includes, of course, as is the way of government, it includes this hundred and eighty-seven thousand square miles, includes areas that polar bears have never had any interest of being in.
	There's never been any polar bears in this in this region.
	There's no evidence that any polar bear wants to live in half these places, but they've now designated it as uh as essential to the polar bear habitat.
	Again, uh again uh well, they've just said that this is like bear country.
	It's like they could do it uh they could do it to the West Village here in uh New York City.
	They could say uh they could say this is now a designated polar bear habitat.
	So uh and there's no evidence the polar bears, even these ones who are interested in mating with other species, want to hang out in the West Village in New York.
	But this is what they've done in uh in Alaska.
	They've designated the the federal government has designated 187,000 square miles as crucial polar bear habitat, even though uh polar bears have never shown the slightest interest in living anywhere near uh half these places.
	The polar bears are all in the Canadian Arctic, going to get the free health care that Steve from Oklahoma was uh w w was hymming so beautifully uh a couple of hours ago.
	And and again, this gets this gets to the point.
	It's the regulatory state.
	The regulatory state can do anything it likes.
	Let's go to Dave in Madison, Wisconsin.
	Dave, you are live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
	Great to have you with us.
	Thank you very much.
	I always enjoy your guest hosting.
	Uh I'm wondering as part of the operation uh comeback kid and our government's effort to keep us all safe, if we'll see Obama fly the uh rainbow banner and tell us mission accomplished, maybe uh photo up on a battleship somewhere.
	Oh, oh, with the uh with the don't ask, don't tell.
	Yeah, I think it's about time for the mission accomplished, give it all a thumbs up.
	Yeah, I I uh I think I think he should.
	I I think he should actually uh in some of the looser parts of Waziristan, I th I think he should maybe fly out there and fly his rainbow banner uh and uh and say that now now this was the critical this was the critical issue facing the United States military.
	Don't ask, don't tell.
	But we're not all there yet, Dave.
	Apparently there's restrictions still on transgendered people li uh serving in the military.
	So there are still important battles to be won, Dave.
	Uh do you th how soon do you think we'll see transgender discrimination end in the military?
	Oh, it shouldn't be too long.
	I'm sure it'll be before the war ends.
	No, no, that's that's I think there was I wasn't that uh I think that was in the British Army.
	They sent some guy into Sierra Leone to pacify some uh bit of upcountry trouble with with uh with w uh a couple of years ago, and then the guy flew back to London and had like a sex change.
	And then when he uh the tribesman uh when he went back, he was uh you know, he was he was he he started as General Fred and went back as General Cynthia and uh was surprised the tribesmen didn't accord him the same respect Well these are problems these are problems they didn't have to they didn't have to cope with uh in the old days, Dave.
	You just got to get with the program.
	But you're right, maybe a mission accomplished banner.
	I would have loved to see.
	I would have loved to see President Obama standing on the uh prow of a battleship with the mission accomplished banner.
	Uh thanks for your call and have a Merry Christmas.
	Uh have a Merry Christmas, Dave.
	Uh good uh good to talk, uh good to talk with you.
	Yeah, don't ask, don't uh don't ask, don't tell.
	You know, the new Don't Ass Don't Tell is this thing that Congressman Peter King is doing, uh where he's gonna hold hearings into uh radical Islam.
	Uh i i uh and this is a serious point r really.
	Major Major Hassan, when he gunned down all those people at Fort Hood uh last year.
	That was basically the Muslim equivalent of don't ask, don't tell.
	Whatever you feel about it for the gay guys.
	Don't ask, don't tell on radical Islam uh is uh is is much more of a problem uh in political correctness terms in the United States military bureaucracy uh uh these days.
	And uh Congressman Peter King from New York is gonna he's already being denounced as the new Joe McCarthy, so that tells you he must be doing something right.
	Uh he's gonna be holding hearings into Islamic extremism uh in the new Congress.
	Great to be with you in the days before Christmas.
	Uh there's a there's a Christmas present waiting for every listener to the Rush Limbaugh Show, and it's completely free.
	It's the new Rush Limbaugh app for iPhone and iPad.
	It's only been out twenty-four hours, and it's already the number one most popular app in Apple's news category.
	Uh New York Times is number four.
	Fox News comes in at big hit position number three.
	CNN is number two, but the number one news app is the Rush Limbaugh app.
	It's only been out twenty-four hours, and already, in response, the FCC has voted to federally regulate apps, uh, which shows how seriously they are taking the new Rush Limbaugh app.
	But if you go to Rush Limbaugh.com, uh you can uh download the new app and you'll be able to watch Rush live on the dip ditto cam from your uh iPhone and your iPad.
	And uh you can you can get the morning update in video.
	You can uh get lots of uh other videos there, including video from uh the the uh TV show back in the nineties.
	You can listen to audio live, you can read transcripts, you can email Rush, you can do everything with the Rush Limbaugh app.
	If you just go to uh Apple's store and uh search for Rush, you'll find it.
	It's the number one there.
	And uh they take it so seriously that the FCC are now federally regulating apps, because God forbid there should be any single activity in this country, whether that it's polar bear habitat or grade school bake sales or California porn movie shoots.
	God forbid that there should be any activity that is not regulated to death in the United States of America.
	So they are now uh responding to the Rush app by introducing federally regulated apps.
	And I said there were three people, three Americans who had decided that they were gonna regulate the internet of uh three hundred and ten million uh Americans.
	Uh and I I uh I got the name of the third one wrong.
	In fact, it wasn't Commissioner uh Meredith Atwell Baker who voted for it.
	The three who voted for it were the chairman, uh Julia Skenikowski, Commissioner Mignon Clyburn, who is the daughter of uh Commissioner James Clyburn, and as we said, she's a very eminent chair of the National Association of Federally Regulated Federal Regulators.
	So she certainly has the experience to bring to the job.
	And then the third one who voted for this power grab is Commissioner Michael J. Copps.
	Learn these guys' names.
	These aren't people who who run for election.
	That's uh that's that's for chumps.
	Why would you bother to do that?
	You gotta spend your whole time raising money, going to chicken dinners with uh with these voters.
	Who the hell would want to do that?
	Uh instead, just become a federal bureaucrat and you can do what you like to people in the dark.
	You'll be in some comfortable office in some agency nobody's ever heard of, somewhere in Washington, D.C., and you can have a lifetime career uh telling Americans how to live their lives.
	This is the slow motion rollback, and actually not so slow of uh seventeen seventy-six.
	These three people, these three people, despite a court telling them that they didn't have the power to regulate the Internet, despite uh Congress, three hundred uh members of the House of Representatives telling them not to regulate the Internet.
	These three people decided that what America needs as it slides off the cliff is federally regulated at.
	Ps.
	Hallelujah.
	Uh Mike in Sarasota, Florida.
	Mike, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
	Great to have you with us.
	Hey, Merry Christmas there, Mark.
	A merry Christmas.
	Could you sound more seasonal?
	That You sounded like kind of a bit downbeat on the old Hey, Merry Christmas.
	Oh, right.
	Okay, okay.
	I hope you got your Christmas goose while over the holidays are Christmas Goose.
	A Christmas grope.
	Have a hopey gropey Christmas.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Grand Grandma got a pat down at the airport.
	I love that song.
	I love that song.
	Uh grandma got a pat down at the airport.
	Lovely, lovely.
	Yeah.
	And uh what the FCC was good for.
	Right.
	Well, when they first started when Marconi made the radios, they were like the fleece Nazis, you know.
	Right.
	Now they're selling all the frequencies of the airwaves.
	If you look around, you got your uh garage door opener, uh your cell phones, your portable phones, uh anything that's broadband.
	And that's the only thing that was left is they didn't have the internet.
	So where else can you get and make some money for the government is okay, we're gonna start taxing these, but we gotta do this real slowly.
	And this is what they're scheming up, that's all this is.
	Yeah, and you're you're right that uh when this uh business started, there w they were uh in effect uh selling the public air or licensing the public airwaves because there were the amateur uh radio uh we used to have a really huge bandwidth that we could talk on.
	And every year it keeps getting smaller and smaller because they're selling portions of them radio bands to all these companies, and they go in there and say, you know, hey, we want we're gonna make this here dismo.
	But that's and it's gonna run in this frequency or somewhere like that, and they go, uh let's see.
	Come back in about three months, it'll probably be about three billion, we'll give you a license and it's good for ten years.
	And that's what they're doing.
	But you know, you know the the the uh and and you're right that everything that uses a frequency uh th has to be has to be allocated by the FCC.
	But what's what's that is not the issue on the on the Internet.
	What the Internet means is that they're going to be uh determining which uh which websites load faster, which websites load slower, uh, and you're gonna have a much closer in effect it's gonna be a regulation of content.
	And what that is gonna do is it will be the usual thing is that people just don't want it's like the same thing with the fairness doctrine.
	People say, well, what would be wrong with the fairness doctrine?
	Because it would mean you'd have to have, you know, three hours of rush, and then you'd have three hours of some liberal host.
	But that would all get incredibly complicated for every station manager across the country uh to uh to to operate.
	So in the end they'd all go to soft and easy favorites for twenty-four hours and you'd get the Celine Dion Christmas album round the clock.
	Uh because it's the funniest thing is because it's easier.
	Everybody be turning their radios off anyway, so what's the right thing?
	Exactly.
	No, exactly.
	That's true, but it but but that's why the only way the the advantage to bringing in the fairness doctrine is that it makes political talk too complicated to manage.
	And that's why people would rather do the Celine Dion Christmas album.
	And it will be the same thing with the internet.
	Once you have government regulation of the internet, and people will set up search engines to look for problematic words or whatever, and those words will get more and more broadly defined, and eventually we you will just have bland showbiz pap out there that is no threat to the regime.
	Uh because the Obama administration is no friend of free speech.
	It has no commitment to the First Amendment uh uh what whatsoever.
	And that's and that's why uh this is a serious threat.
	So in the end, uh the pretext is that they've got to sell the bandwidth, they've got to license the bandwidth, they've got to control the bandwidth.
	But in the end, it's about controlling the government.
	That's the regulatory state.
	It's all about control.
	This ridiculous thing, uh a couple of years ago in Pennsylvania, this guy busts into a church uh supper.
	And he discovers that there are seven octagenarian ladies who've made homemade pies.
	And he says if these pies were not made in a state inspected kitchen, they cannot be sold for the church fundraiser.
	And all these things are the now that is a that is actually a dagger at the heart of civic participation, because what it's saying is that uh the only people who can legitimize a a charitable pie donation at a church fundraiser is the government.
	The government is the sole legitimate arbiter of everything you do in the United States.
	And that's why, just as gun control is not about guns, it's about control, Pie control is not about pies, it's about control.
	Uh and likewise, internet control is not about the internet, it's about control.
	It's all about control.
	Uh and at a sudden point you just find that uh life has seized up.
	That you can't you can't move in this direction, you can't move in that direction, because everything you want to do has had all the life regulated out of it.
	And um if you look at uh what's happened with business, for example, one of the reasons that uh people look for business uh w outsource things overseas.
	Nobody outsources, you know, to Chad, nobody outsources to Rwanda.
	What you want to go to is uh a place where you've got a first world business environment that hasn't had all the life throttled out of it.
	Uh d where our friend Steve uh from Toronto has a point is that uh uh Tim Hordons, the uh the the donut makers that operate on both sides of the border, uh they announced uh last year that they were uh they're a Delaware corporation, they were reorganizing themselves as a Canadian corporation to take advantage of Canadian tax rates.
	Did you ever think, as an American, you would see an American corporation fleeing north of the border, quote, to take advantage of Canadian tax rates, unquote.
	Because at a certain point the regulatory costs, uh the taxation levels on businesses here make it uh simply uh it's simply not worth operating a business in the United States of America anymore.
	And that's why these regulatory costs sucking up ten percent of GDP every year, federal alone, uh uh are a dagger at the heart of American liberty.
	Mark Stein in for rush, Mortica.
	Uh Silverbell Silverbells, it's Christmas time in the city.
	Uh Mark Stein Infrarush.
	We're very seasonal at the EIB network, but there's always bad news out there.
	The jihad never sleeps.
	Uh the latest plot is they're planning to contaminate a bedrock American institution, the salad bar.
	So if you decide to take uh it uh decide to take grandma out uh day after Christmas, December twenty-sixth, Boxing Day, whatever you want to call it, and you uh get grandma at the all you can eat salad bar, be careful.
	Be careful, because the uh Al Qaeda is planning to contaminate salad bars.
	Now I'm sure No you'll need more than the sneeze guard.
	It the sneeze guard isn't gonna work.
	Uh Janet in Combatano uh will be introducing enhanced pat downs uh at the uh at the all you can eat salad bar.
	So you you know, she doesn't want to see anybody uh putting anything on the uh on the letters in there.
	You think that's like the old it could be the P E T N. It looks uh like a Parmesan thing, so if you if you sprinkle it on the um on on the old Caesar salad, who knows what could happen.
	Let's go to Lance in Amarillo, Texas.
	Lance, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
	Great to have you with us.
	Merry Christmas, Mark.
	Merry Christmas to you, Lance.
	Mark, you brought up the TSA earlier, and I had a question for you in regards to profiling with the TSA.
	Right.
	And we have a government or uh administration anyway, that won't even call a terrorist a terrorist.
	Uh do you think they would concede in calling them serial killers?
	The aspect is they both want to commit mass murder and then play the catch me if you can game, and then they'll take credit for their actions, and then you still, you know, they just want to play hide and seek.
	And the reason why I say that is because if you have a serial killer loose in your neighborhood, the very first thing that happens is a professional profiler comes in and builds a profiler based off the evidence of the murder.
	Yeah, no, and then the law enforcement and then hold a press conference and tells the community what to be on the lookout for.
	That's policing 101.
	It was like the Washington sniper.
	Do you remember do you remember that?
	The Washington Summer you had all these guys on CNN night after night say, well, uh from uh from this pattern of behavior, I would say he's an uh angry white loner, probably a hunter or militia member.
	And we had all this for weeks And weeks on end, and then it turned out to be a guy called uh Mohammed with an illegal immigrant from Jamaica.
	And uh and that uh and so all the uh icy loner, uh probably a macho hunter type, none uh none of that uh but that's what they don't do with this.
	With this, they say, oh, you know, uh, you know, uh this guy called Mohammed has tried to uh tried to blow up the plane.
	We need to uh we need to get every grandma in the tri-state area in and uh make her drop her bloomers and poke around in there because some guy called Mohammed tried to blow up a plane.
	It's it's the antithesis of um uh policing.
	I think w I think when this was introduced uh last uh time I I said that that's what they that's what they used to do.
	You know, the old cop show, there are eight million stories in the naked city.
	This has been one of them.
	Uh but now when you go to the airport, there are eight million penises in the naked airport, and yours has been one of them.
	And that's what they're gonna do.
	They're gonna go through them all.
	They kind of say we can't have profiling everybody, everybody's underwear is the same.
	We don't discriminate.
	We we if if uh you imagine how this would be if there's a there's a serial killer in Philadelphia or somewhere.
	Imagine if they took the same approach to to this uh serial killers that they do for terrorists.
	They'd say, oh, right, well, we've uh we've we we found um three murder, three murder victims uh in Amarillo this week.
	I want everybody dragged in.
	Uh we're gonna make them well I want the entire population of Amarillo in here, and I want I'm gonna make everybody uh drop their pants and we're gonna go through their underwear.
	Uh that's the equivalent of what they're doing at the airport.
	And what's interesting is that they have never, ever, ever, ever found a single terrorist in the history of the TSA, which was founded in what was it, 2002, and in eight years' time.
	They have had their hands in innumerable uh uh pieces of American underwear and have never caught a single terrorist.
	And that perfect record of never, ever, ever, ever, ever catching a single terrorist is gonna hold Lance.
	But you make a you make a good comparison with ser uh serial killers.
	Hey, have a great uh have a great Christmas in Amarillo, Lance.
	You know, my my play hey, what's that song?
	Wasn't there a Gene Autry song about uh it's Christmas time in Texas or something?
	I think so.
	Um, let me ask you a question, Mark.
	Do you think this whole deal with Mark Holder or Eric Holder talking about the Al Qaeda making attacks on your buffets?
	Do you think that's really just a boy for Michelle Obama to use food justice to shut him down?
	Yeah, I I th I think I think it may be connected to the Michelle Obama war on obesity.
	I think I think I think I think if you look at it, it's all about as I said, it's all about control.
	So first she says, M Michelle Obama is the non-Mary Antoinette, because she's don't let them eat cake.
	You know, Mary Antoinette, God bless her, said, let them eat cake.
	Michelle Obama says, 'Don't let them eat cake.' Michelle Obama says, 'Eat your salad, and then Eric Sol Holder says, 'No, no, we're going to have homeland security at the salad bar because Al Qaeda threatening the salad bar.
	This is a way of bringing the American diet uh under the contr under the control of the uh Obama administration.
	So Michelle Obama and Eric Holder, they're doing a pincer movement here to try and get you into the federally regulated uh salad bar.
	There is no end to it.
	Thanks for your call, Larns.
	Mark Stein Inforush on the EIB network, Mordecan.
	Mark Stein walking in a federally regulated wonderland.
	It has been uh great being with you, sitting in for rush in the lame duck session of the Rush Limbaugh Show.
	Uh I'm gonna be here tomorrow, and uh then we will have a best of rush for Christmas Eve.
	I think this falls into the noted without comment section.
	Noted without comment.
	This is this is quite a h headline though.
	Former Gitmo inmate.
	Jews used witchcraft on Guantanamo prisoners, made me feel a cat was trying to penetrate me.
	This is uh I don't know what he means by I I assume he means like a uh a a a tabby cat or something.
	I don't mean assume he means a cool cat.
	I don't think he's talking about Sammy Davis Jr. or whatever.
	I don't know what games they are.
	I mean, I wouldn't put anything past the uh the Bush administration in the ruthless things, but apparently Jews are using witchcraft on Guantanamo prisoners.
