	Yes, America's Ancomman is away, and this is your undocumented Anchorman sitting in direct from Northern New Hampshire via the miracle of technology.
	Uh it goes from uh goes from Ice Station EIB up here in New Hampshire, all the way down to Mr. Snerdley at EIB Southern Command in Florida, then up to uh to New York, over to Los Angeles, up to the satellite and from the satellite to the world.
	It is an amazing technological feat.
	Uh and it's uh uh a great privilege to be with you on the second day of uh uh of our broadcasts from Ice Station EIB.
	Uh the great Walter E. Williams will join us in the next hour to talk about his new book.
	This is our last live show uh of the year 2010.
	We'll have a best of rush for New Year's Eve tomorrow.
	I'll be here Monday, and Rush returns to start another year of excellence in broadcasting live, live this Tuesday.
	Uh I was I was I used the George Orwell phrase uh about an hour ago, the pansy left.
	And I think that's a good way, uh, you know, Orwell is a hero in many ways to the left.
	He was he was a socialist in uh in a certain sense, and uh they certainly like to uh uh uh uh tout him when it suits them.
	But he had a very good understanding of uh what he called the pansy left.
	And you see it uh in what's happened to the state of California, which has regulated itself out of existence, out of feasibility.
	You see it in New York City, uh, where Mayor Bloomberg, uh uh a man who presumes to regulate the salt content of the meals of free-born citizens, cannot then get any salt on the roads because uh the because the sanitation department recognizes him as a member of the pansy left,
	a man who can regulate trans fats and regulate the salt content of meals, uh, but is not gonna do anything about their rapacious kleptocrat regime, or even do anything about them when they decide they're going to intentionally sabotage snow removal uh in a uh city emergency.
	You know, this is the this is in effect the municipal equivalent of treason.
	This is this is like in a national emergency, your own military deliberately sabotaging uh the response to a national emergency.
	As I said, it's the municipal equivalent of treason.
	But the pansy left uh won't actually deal with real issues.
	It prefers to deal with f it prefers to deal with uh fictitious problems, uh which are an opportunity for it to flaunt its moral vanity.
	The repeal of don't ask, don't tell is a classic example.
	Now you think if you're one of America's enemies, or even America's friends, actually, you're sitting around in the presidential palaces around the world, you're sitting there in Moscow, you're sitting in Beijing, you're sitting in Pyongyang, you're sitting in Tehran.
	You're looking at the United States of America, a country with ten percent unemployment, fighting two active wars, and in uh and uh the entire national political debate is about the repeal of don't ask, don't tell in the House of Representatives and the United States Senate.
	It's an entirely fictitious problem.
	Uh eighty-five percent of these people oh, they're not allowed to serve and be true to who they are, so they wind up having to leave the army.
	They're forced out of the army.
	Eighty-five percent uh of the people who left uh under Don Ars Don't Tell, essentially volunteered to uh that they were uh gay to get a as as a means of getting out of the army.
	It was basically some kind of for those who remember the MASH TV show, they were pulling the old Corporal Klinger routine.
	Uh as for actually being able to be openly gay in the army, uh private first class Manning, the guy who leaked all the WikiLeaks stuff by downloading them onto his Lady Gaga CD or whatever it it was he did.
	Uh this guy is basically some uh gay Welshman.
	He I think his mother's Welsh and uh his father's American.
	Uh and he joined the army.
	He's entirely openly gay.
	He had a Facebook page all the time he was leaking the WikiLeaks stuff and downloading it onto his Lady Gaga CD.
	He had a Facebook page uh moaning and uh whining about how he'd broken up with his boyfriend.
	There's no don't ask, don't tell there.
	He was telling the world, he was proclaiming it to the world, in between leaking vital United States military secrets to the entire planet.
	So there never was a don't ask, don't tell uh in any meaningful sense of the world.
	Instead, it was an opportunity for moral narcissism on the part of the left.
	It's an opportunity to uh solve an entirely fictitious problem that gives you the chance to demonstrate your moral vanity.
	That's by the way, the same uh with what's happened to Edison's light bulb.
	Uh banning Edison's light bulb isn't going to do anything to save the planet, it's gonna make any difference to the planet.
	It's not gonna make the the the what it does is enables the pansy left to demonstrate uh its moral vanity.
	But it imposes real costs on you.
	Uh these all these joke laws, the the joke regulations, uh the pansy left uh solving these fictitious problems uh imposes huge real world costs, uh as you know if you go to uh go to any website that uh th that's that's official uh Department of the Environment website that tells you how to deal with uh with the with the new curly fry light bulb,
	the CFL, the curly fry light bulb that has replaced Edison's great uh e uh iconic invention.
	This is from the main department, uh State of Maine, the Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Remediation and Waste Management.
	What if I accidentally break a fluorescent lamp in my house?
	The lamp contains a small amount of mercury, but you can clean this up yourself if you do the following.
	Do not use a vacuum cleaner to clean up the breakage.
	This will spread the mercury vapor and dust throughout the area and could potentially contaminate the vacuum cleaner.
	Oh, what?
	Okay, right.
	So I can't just pick the broken light bulb up and stick it in the trash, and I can't use my uh vacuum cleaner either.
	Keep people and pets away from the breakage area until the cleanup is complete.
	Great, got it.
	Uh my dog starts snuffling around it, the dog gonna die.
	Ventilate the area by opening windows and leave the area for fifteen minutes before returning to begin the cleanup.
	Mercury vapor levels will be lower by then.
	Okay, so ventilate the area, uh open the windows, leave it for fifteen minutes, get your pets out so they don't go snuffling around in all in all the mercury from the light bulb.
	Okay, got it, got it, so I take me, the gr grandma, the pets, we get us all out the house, open the windows for 15 minutes.
	For maximum protection, and if you have them, wear rubber gloves to protect your hands from the sharp glass.
	Got it, got it.
	So after 15 minutes, uh with grandma and the pets outside, I've got to go inside and uh and and find the rubber gloves, and uh that's fine.
	To throw away the light bulb.
	Carefully remove the larger pieces and place them in a secure closed container, preferably a glass container with a metal screw top lid and seal like a canning jar.
	Ah, right.
	Okay, so I need I need rubber gloves and a canning jar when I re-enter the premises.
	Next, begin collecting the smaller pieces and dust.
	You can use two stiff pieces of paper, such as index cards or playing cards to scoop up pieces.
	Okay, so I need rubber gloves, a canning jar, and a set of playing cards when I re-enter the contaminated premises.
	Uh pat the area with the sticky side of duct tape, packing tape, or masking tape to pick up fine particles.
	Wipe the area with a wet wipe or damp paper.
	Okay, okay, I gotcha, gotcha now.
	When I re-enter the premises, I need rubber gloves, I need a canning jar, I need a set of playing cards, and I need duct tape.
	Uh put all waste and materials into the glass container, uh, including all material used in the cleanup as well.
	So you've got to throw away your playing cards and your gloves and your duct tape and the canning jar too, and label the container as universal waste, a broken lamp.
	Uh remove the container with the breakage and cleanup materials, continue ventilating the room for several hours, wash your hands and face, take the glass container with the waste material to a facility that accepts universal waste for research.
	So you can't toss it in the trash, you can't toss it in your regular town dump, you've got to find you've got to take it to a special facility.
	When a break happens on carpet, uh homeowners may consider removing throw rugs or the area of the carpet where the breakage occurred as a precaution, particularly if the rug is in an area frequented by Infants, small children, or pregnant women.
	Okay.
	So now, aside from getting the gloves and the canning jar and the set of playing cards, you've now got to have a pair of scissors to cut up and remove the contaminated carpet uh from your floor.
	See how simple it is?
	Just fourteen easy steps.
	If you it with with uh with Edison's light bulb, if you break it, it's one easy step, you toss it in the trash.
	But according to the main Department of Environmental Protection, just 14 easy steps, all you need to keep handy are duct tape, playing cards, a canning jar, a sticky label to put on it.
	Who doesn't have those within easy reach of every electrical outlet?
	Um if if if the only canning jar you have, if you've got like a mason jar but it's still got your pickles and berries in it, uh, they also add the Bureau of Remediation and Waste Management adds uh uh you may need to empty it into another container before using it.
	I mean, don't ask me why, are they just stating the obvious, or will the mercury mutate with the content to create some giant toxic pickle uh that will rampage up the main coast uh all the way uh down east to Campabello Island, where it will pick up the Roosevelt summer route retreat and crumple it like match sticks and uh hurl it across the Bay of Fundy uh to Nova Scotia.
	I certainly hope so, because it would be hard to devise a more fitting end uh to the home of uh Franklin Roosevelt, the father of big government than ending up as a pile of worthless Canadian rubble.
	This is the official this is the official uh Department of Maine advice on what to do if you break a light bulb in America in the twenty-first century.
	Uh uh culminating in don't forget to empty any p picked tomatoes or persimmon jelly you may have into another mason jar.
	Uh and if you don't have another mason jar, so that's now two mason jars you need if you break a light bulb.
	And if you don't have another mason jar available, just empty the pickled tomatoes or the persimmon jelly onto the carpet, because as the Bureau of Remediation also tells us, you're gonna have to throw the carpet out anyway.
	And any other fabrics that that come into contact with the uh with the with the curly fry curly fry light bulb.
	What was that, Mr. Snerdley?
	Yeah, thank you, Fred Upton.
	Fred Upton, by the way, the new guy.
	This is this is the revolution of November the second.
	We now have a strong conservative chairman of uh the relevant committee, House Committee on this, and it's Fred Upton, who believes in all this nonsense, all this nonsense.
	Uh throw away your carpet.
	You break a light bulb, throw away the carpet, uh, throw away your canning jar, keep a playing a bunch of playing cards.
	Uh you can't, by the way, stick any contaminated clothes in the washer because, says the Environmental Protection Agency, uh, mercury fragments in the clothing will contaminate the machine and pollute the sewage system.
	Right?
	Got that?
	So even if you do everything right, the the little old lady next door who's eighty-seven and perhaps isn't up to speed on the curly fry light bulb, maybe she'll just uh break a light bulb and she'll put the thing in the washer and it'll and it'll uh and it'll contaminate the sewage system.
	So only one thing can be said with certain that the ensuing kidney and brain damage caused by this is gonna make one hell of a class action lawsuit circa 2030.
	This is big government at work.
	It solved a problem that didn't need there's nothing wrong with Edison's light bulb.
	It's the great iconic American invention, the great uh embodiment of American dynamism of the nineteenth century.
	And what did we do in the twenty-first century?
	We banned it.
	And as a result, every time you break a light bulb now, you need to have a mason jar, uh, you need to have a set of playing cards, you need to have rubber gloves, you need to have throw mats, uh, you need to empty out your persimmon jelly onto the contaminated carpet, and you're gonna be at risk from a polluted sewage system.
	The pansy left solved a problem that didn't exist.
	Mark Steinin for Rush, more to come.
	Hey, this is uh this is the average white band, isn't it?
	Pick up the pieces.
	Don't even think about that if you break one of those curly fry light bulbs.
	Don't pick up the pieces.
	If the average white band were to remake this song today, it would be called Pick Up the Pieces, wearing rubber gloves and using a set of playing cards.
	Remember that.
	Remember that.
	Don't try to pick up the pieces.
	Don't try this at home, folks.
	Mark Steinin for Rush on the EIB network, um, talking about some of the uh the the structural difficulties we face in the United States.
	Do you know this?
	Uh in 1940, a majority of the U.S. population had no more than a grade eight education.
	By 2008, 40% of 18 to 24 year olds were enrolled in college.
	In other words, we're approaching the stage where the average American is twice as old by the time he completes his education as he was in nineteen forty, and he spent over twice as long in the classroom, and in theory gotten twice as much attention from his school mom, uh because the p pupil teacher ratio is half today of what it was a uh century ago.
	Uh in fact, if you look at it uh in uh in nineteen since nineteen seventy, overall public school employment has increased ten times faster than public school enrollment.
	In other words, the number of teachers has increased ten times faster than the number of students, with no impact whatsoever on test scores.
	So eighth grade America, nineteen forty, eighth grade America built America.
	Everything that uh dynamic about America was built by eighth grade America.
	The uh uh Edison's uh light bulb, the uh automobile, uh motion pictures and all the uh uh great pop culture forms that America invented, uh and of course culminating, eighth grade America won the Second World War uh and establish itself as the global hope uh global hyperpower, eighteenth grade America over credentialed America, overregulated America has driven America off the cliff.
	Think about that lost eighth grade America.
	Think about that lost eighth grade America that built this great republic, uh and then uh and then think about a world in which uh we stay in school till we're thirty, stay in school till early middle age to get some uh get some ridiculous credentials so we can regulate all the great iconic American inventions out of ex existence.
	On that cheery note, let's go to Paul in Auburn, California.
	Paul, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
	Great to have you with us.
	Say eight, say it more perkily.
	You you say it like you're on suicide watch.
	Happy New Year.
	Happy to be able to do that.
	Well we have a very tall bridge over here.
	Yeah, yeah, well.
	That's the one good thing about California.
	Uh it's uh it's got some great bridges to jump off.
	Oh, yes, yes.
	I noticed during uh uh Obama's campaign, I uh I at a certain point I thought it became pretty obvious to me.
	This man is running for uh Ayatollah for a mullah for a philosophical leader.
	And and sure enough it bears out.
	First thing he does is hands a nuts and nuts and bolts over to uh Pelosi and Reed and surrounds himself with academics.
	And it's it's really playing out.
	Yes, he's really a a kind of supreme leader rather than uh rather than an executive.
	It would seem, yeah.
	And he had and and he had basically, as you said, in the for the for his first couple of years, he had basically Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed as co-prime ministers actually doing the day job, didn't he?
	Yes, yes.
	I mean, every the his input uh and even his own uh wing of the party there uh took exception to that.
	He's just not a hands-on guy.
	Uh like you say, a philosophical leader, uh supposedly.
	I think he got a lot of.
	But let's let's unpack this a bit, Paul, because it's an inter people say this about Obama that uh yes, he is oh it's great now that America doesn't have this embarrassing bozo like Bush, you know, uh uh with his Texan drawl and his swagger and cut brush cutting, you know, uh we have now have this man who looks as if he's never broken a sweat in his life.
	The philosopher king.
	But what original thought?
	Tell me this what original thought has this great philosopher king ever expressed?
	Hmm.
	Uh nothing really jumps out.
	That's Obama all over.
	Nothing really jumps out.
	No.
	Well, he uh he's uh Reagan was always uh uh accused of being scripted, you know.
	And uh I I think uh I think uh Barack really is scripted.
	Uh no, I notice his awkwardness uh outside of uh, you know, in press conferences and whatnot.
	But you know do you know the thing about Reagan?
	They always said that about him.
	In fact, he had the most thought-through world view uh of any American president of modern times, because uh because long before he became president, he had spent a long time uh honing his political philosophy, seeing how it applied.
	Uh so all this nonsense about him being scripted, by the way, uh I don't even like uh I don't do a lot of T V, but when I do do a lot of T V I'm a little bit rusty about my teleprompts, because I don't do a lot of it these days.
	Yeah.
	Uh but one thing you notice is that uh uh the uh somebody always types up a word or two wrong or you change an adjective here and uh the there's some little glitch in there and you see it coming up and you get over it and you move on and you do it.
	What's fascinating about Obama is that some some typed word in his telepromp script brings him grinding to a halt like that embarrassing thing giving Paul McCartney, the Kennedy Center on us the other day.
	He got he basically read out six sentences in a row and got them all wrong, so he's not even a genius teleprompter reader.
	Now we're really scraping the bottom of uh of Obama criticism.
	We're mocking his teleprompter sk skills.
	He's n he's not the philosopher king, he's not even the teleprompter king.
	Uh thanks for your call, Paul.
	Mark Stein, Inforush on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
	1800-282-2882.
	Mordecai.
	Yes, the uh twelve days of guest hosts or whatever it is continues, but we're we're getting near we're getting near the day of liberation.
	Rush returns live, Tuesday, January the fourth, next Tuesday, live at twelve noon Eastern to kick off another year of excellence in broadcasting.
	So we're uh down to whatever we are now, the ninth the ninth day of uh guest host.
	And uh on the ninth day of guest hosts, Rush Limbaugh gave to me a guest host in a pear tree.
	It's not much longer.
	We'll be we'll be back with Rush live on Tuesday.
	Uh I was just going through some of the uh listener email that's come in and uh uh and uh a uh uh David uh David Masters wrote to me and says that I've quoted various Arabian proverbs and he wants to know is there a good book full of them?
	There sure there ought to be.
	There must be a book of Arabian f proverbs now.
	I forget what the one is uh what's the one I like.
	I oh yeah, I f uh what's the the one uh I think at the Arab League meeting just before the Iraq war, uh it was was it the uh the uh uh foreign minister from the United Arab Emirates said it to uh the uh the the guy from Libya or whatever.
	Anyways, a very fractious meeting, and he said I fart at your beard, which is apparently the the worst thing you can say uh in Arabic.
	So if you ever happen to be traveling at the Middle East, uh don't get uh, you know, could you tell me the way to the bathroom with I fart at your beard, because that is the worst insult uh you can ever do in Arabic.
	Let's go to Ray in Livermore, California.
	Ray, you are live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
	Great to have you with us.
	It's great to have you, Mark.
	Where is that possible job in place of rush?
	I called uh to address the call from the last hour, the lady talking about manufacturing in the US.
	Right.
	Um but real quick, I want to tell you I secured 15 year supply of Edison light bulbs in my garage, so I'll be going a long time really forced me onto the new light bulb.
	Okay, which part of California is Livermore in?
	Because I want to come by your house and break in and steal your steal your light bulbs.
	I'll be selling them at for a profit uh many years down the road.
	Uh I'm uh about forty miles inland from San Francisco and San Jose, so I'm kind of triangulated to the inland uh territories.
	I call it the gateway to the Red States.
	Okay.
	Okay, but it's a real because Livermore, New Hampshire, which is just up the road for me, is an unincorporated uh township.
	I think there's uh there's the it's got a total population of one or two, and they're and they're probably both wanted for an unsolved serial killings in other states, and that's why they've gone to Livermore to to hang out.
	But you've got a real town there in uh Livermore, California.
	And you were you wanted to talk about what Sherry was saying, I think, about manufacturing jobs.
	Yes, sir.
	I have a friend, um, my friend Don, who is spent about eighty thousand dollars in uh developing a product and securing patents in order to bring this product to marketplace.
	And recently he was advised by his the folks working with him that uh it's time to s to get a manufacturer online.
	And so he immediately set up a trip to China.
	And he wanted to manufacture his product here in the States, but he was told simply you can't do it.
	Uh why can't he do it in the United States?
	Well, uh the cost of the product to to meet a price point that folks would buy, uh you simply can't employ Americans or Californians, the environmental regulations.
	This is a if I'm not mistaken, it's a product that's manufactured from plastic, and so uh environmental concerns and what uh the manufacturing plants that could handle this work were all located in China.
	Right, right.
	And this is this is a common this is a common story now, that that in fact there is still great inventiveness in the United States, but the price of hiring U.S. citizens to do this work is too high.
	Government imposes a surcharge on the cost of hiring uh Americans, uh as we were talking about yesterday when I was talking about the surcharge that the state of New York and the city of New York imposes on me for hiring a New Yorker.
	You don't get that if you're hiring people not just in China, but in uh Sweden or in Ireland or even in a socialist basket case like the province of Quebec.
	This is something that is becoming a huge problem in America.
	The surcharge that government imposes on hiring Americans, and then the other point you make, which is that the uh the regulation uh of uh uh of of uh involved in any factory or mill or industrial enterprise in the United States, even if you can get the approval to build a new factory, and even saying those words feels slightly unreal these days.
	Uh the the regulatory burdens imposed on you by in the state make it much um uh make m you would have to you would have to be insane not to say to hell with this, let's uh let's open the factory in China, wouldn't you?
	There there you go.
	It's the very same people who are crying out that American businesses are not hiring the same people who are are mad at corporations for uh offshoring jobs and the very people who were causing these things to happen.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, you know what this is.
	I uh H. G. Wells wrote about this in his novella The Time Machine, eighteen ninety three.
	A guy is in Victorian London, he hops on a time machine, and he goes eight hundred thousand years into the future.
	And that's the only thing H. G. Wells got wrong about it.
	Because the world he predicted showed up seven hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years ahead of schedule.
	Uh he he foresaw a society uh where there were the uh feet uh uh effet decadent elloy, and you can barely tell man from woman uh that they've abolished gender, they all have the same soft skin.
	Uh and somewhere out of sight doing everything is this uh underground people called the Morlocks.
	And that's basically what your great state of California has done.
	You've got these effete sexless uh Eloi uh who run your state, uh, and they have uh m moved everything out of sight.
	They don't realize that the lives they live uh depend on industrial labor, uh depend on people making things, doing things.
	The beautiful granite countertops you uh that that Californians have in their homes.
	They ha that has to be quarried.
	A granite quarry has to quarry that granite to make those beautiful countertops.
	And uh and nobody nobody among the American Eloy, this effete uh pansy left ruling class uh wants to see any of this stuff going on.
	So as a result, it's all done out of sight.
	Uh it's all done either by the legions of the undocumented uh doing the minimum wage labor in the United States, or it's been outsourced to factories overseas.
	It's H. G. Wells' vision uh uh c showed up seven hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years uh ahead of schedule ray.
	But I'll tell you I'll tell you something else too.
	Uh and this is and and and and this is why America doesn't quite seem like it did in Edison's day.
	You think of the great inventions that were made in the first half of the twentieth century, and then you look uh at the last fifty years, you know.
	What was the last big medical breakthrough?
	You know, big in the sense of something that uh takes a huge crippling worldwide disease that that uh we've accepted as a a cruel fact of life and clobbers it so we don't even give it a thought anymore.
	Because that's what the polio vaccine did in nineteen fifty-five.
	People used to worry about polio, and nobody even gives a thought to polio now.
	It's gone away.
	Uh why haven't we done that for Alzheimer's?
	You know, today we've got all these races for the cure.
	I was on a flight the other day uh and they asked us to uh to to donate an extra five dollars or whatever for uh on some little flight, commuter flight, donate an extra five dollars to a race for the cure.
	I forget what it was for now.
	I don't even remember.
	It was for breast cancer, and we all do it, but we know nobody's gonna cure breast cancer.
	All we're doing is uh tossing money into the bucket so they can print up some more colored ribbons.
	We got uh we got uh color every color ribbon has been taken for the race for the cure.
	We got pink ribbons for for breast cancer, we got grey ribbons for brain cancer, we got white ribbons for bone cancer, uh we've got uh we we've got yellow ribbons for adenosarcoma.
	That's true, by the way.
	We've got light blue ribbons for Addison's disease.
	Uh we've got teal ribbons for agrophobia.
	We have had phenomenal breakthroughs in in hues of awareness raising ribbons.
	Uh yet for all the raised awareness, very few people seem aware of how the whole disease curing business has absolutely ground to a halt in the United States.
	You compare the nineteen twenties to the nineteen uh nineties.
	Uh in the nineteen twenties, the discovery of insulin penicillin, uh first vaccines for um tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus, hooping cough, on and on and on and on.
	Uh in the last decade of the twentieth century, uh we got Viagra.
	And and the decline hasn't stopped.
	Um the the number of approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration f has halved in the last decade.
	So you can be an innovator in this country and see where it gets you.
	See where it gets you.
	Uh you can try to develop uh a new uh uh a a new cure.
	You can try to develop a new uh device, you can try to develop something that might employ a lot of people if you put up a factory to build it.
	But all you do is you to begin the government approval process is to enter uh what uh what what what researchers in America today uh call the valley of death.
	We are seizing up as a society because of the burdens of government regulation, Ray.
	And that is why your friend uh developing his product uh winds up going and uh and actually manufacturing it in factories in China because of the cost of hiring American citizens, the burdens of regulation, and even getting the government approval uh to exploit your economic potential to its full potential.
	Uh uh Edison, had he been around today, Edison would have gone and uh opened up the factory in China and and quit wasting his time uh in the United States of America.
	That's the tragedy uh of the US story since the nineteenth century.
	Mark Stein in for Rush, one eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two.
	Gordon sends me an interesting uh email.
	How many curly fry light bulbs must a terrorist flush down the toilet to kill one American?
	You know, I hope the Transport Security Administration is on to that.
	Because I think we need enhanced pat downs before you enter the uh restroom at uh at an American airport, just to check that you're not going down there to flush some curly fry light bulb uh down the down the toilet.
	Because you could you could uh do untold damage to the health of millions of Americans by doing that.
	So I hope the TSA has got some enhanced pat down uh that will uh you know check whether you uh um you've got anything hidden amidst your church uh midst of your short and curlies when you're going into the men's room in the uh Newark Airport.
	It's important it's important to stay on top of that.
	I hope the TSA are taking care of it.
	Let's go to Chuck in Vail Uh, Arizona.
	Chuck, thank you.
	You've been waiting a long time, and we're glad you stuck with us.
	Uh welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Show.
	Happy New Year, Mr. Stein.
	It's uh it's an honor to speak with you.
	Happy New Year to you too, Chuck.
	My question is regarding your book America Alone, which is also a great book.
	I recommend it to anyone who uh who uh would like to read it.
	My copy is soon to be banned in Canada.
	I was just wondering if they were successful with that.
	Uh actually we we we uh we were acquitted in uh British Columbia, so it's still legal to read my book in Canada, but it's very unrespectable.
	I was in uh I I was in uh uh a bookstore in Washington when the book came out, and I saw somebody, it was the Playboy Book of Celebrity Nudes, and somebody shuffled back and forth past this book once or twice, and then bought the Playboy book of celebrity nudes and then picked up a copy of America Alone to slide on top of the Playboy Book of Celebrity Nudes uh to cover their uh embarrassment of being seen with it.
	But it would be the other way around in Canada.
	If you're buying America alone, pick up the Playboy book of celebrity nudes to cover up the embarrassing copy of uh Mark Stein's hate crime that you're you're taking out of the bookstore with you.
	I mean, not just for that.
	It's also got uh some great pictures of Nancy Sinatra uh in there, so uh, you know, I can't complain.
	Anyway, uh, Chuck uh uh back to uh back to your point about the book.
	Vale uh from uh Vail.
	Uh my point is um your premise, and correct me if I'm wrong, uh states that basically there's a birth blitz in Europe among uh uh people of the uh Muslim persuasion, and that uh this is happening all over the world.
	The demographics is shifting toward the the the Muslim side of the equation.
	And I was wondering, uh you also compare the United States and stated that we had a favorable demographic for um American uh uh native-born citizens in relation to Muslim populations in the United States.
	Well, my question is did your research in that point uh have any bearing on whether or not illegal uh immigrants who are predominantly Roman Catholic and have large families contribute to the ramparts of demographic uh defense that we have here.
	Well, I think don't think there's any doubt that uh illegal aliens uh are responsible for uh uh significant um uh significant contribution to the the birth rate in the United States.
	I mean, there are some hospitals where up to seventy percent of uh babies born in those hospitals are so-called anchor babies.
	That's to say they're the children of uh illegal immigrants.
	There's a hospital in Dallas, there's a town in California.
	Uh uh and that uh changes the demographic uh picture.
	If you look at, for example, uh Arizona, uh people say go on about this law, but in a sense, uh the law has come along extremely late.
	A majority of children in the Arizona grade schools uh are already uh of Hispanic uh origin.
	So Arizona's future is as an uh Hispanic society.
	That is a given.
	Who your grade school population is is who you're gonna be.
	Uh if you take the Brussels school system, uh at the grade school level, uh, this is this is supposedly uh a Catholic country, but at the grade school level, more children identify as Muslim now as Catholic.
	So so uh in in the Antwerp in the Antwerp school system and in other Belgian cities, those cities' future is as Muslim societies.
	Who your grade school population is is who you're gonna be in the future, and who Arizona's grade school population is is Hispanics it's gonna be a Hispanic society, maybe it'll work out, maybe it won't, but that's pretty much uh that's pretty much a given.
	So I I find it interesting that people people do demographic analysis in the United States of tiny little shifts, you know.
	They say, well, uh well, this particular Colorado suburb has seen an influx of so many soccer moms with college degrees over the last ten years, and that presents difficulties for this uh this or that candidate, but they're very wary about actually looking at it in terms of big picture uh demographic changes and big picture demographic changes.
	I mean, we've seen a transformation in America, essentially with a with a category that didn't even exist in the nineteen sixty census.
	In the nineteen sixty census, there was no such thing as Hispanic.
	Now it's a majority uh in the school systems of jurisdictions across the southwest of the United States.
	So demographic d demography is the answer to look at your demography, look at your nurseries, look at your grade schools, look at your middle schools.
	That's who you're gonna be in ten, fifteen years' time.
	Well, the good thing is, I suppose that there won't be anybody walking around with a bomb strapped around their waist.
	Well, the if if you're if you're if you're trying to look at it in an optimistic the glasses one sixteenth full kind of way, Chuck, uh it's easier to import a population uh of uh uh uh of uh Latin American, a poorly educated Latin American population,
	than it is to import a poorly educated Muslim population who regard you as filthy, decadent, unclean infidels uh who raise their women as whores uh and who and whose uh society you'd like to uh blow up.
	Yes, obviously in in crude terms that's better.
	But uh but but at the same time it's gonna be transformative.
	Uh i i uh thanks thanks for your call.
	We gotta run, we gotta take an EIB profit center here, but we'll be back with more on the Rush Limbaugh Show straight after this.
	Mark Stein in for us on the EIB Network.
	Uh first prize is one guest host, second prize is two guest hosts.
	We have two guest hosts Thursday.
	Uh for you.
	Joining me in the next hour will be the guest host of guest hosts, the great Walter E. Williams.
	Uh, he has a new book out called Up from the Projects, which is uh everyone has heard Walter talking uh macroeconomic theory.
	This is uh macroeconomic theory applied to Walter's own life.
	The story of how he got himself up from the projects.
