Time Text
Yes, America's Anchor Man is away, and this is your undocumented anchor man.
No supporting paperwork, no long form birth certificate live from the mountain vastness of uh Northern New Hampshire.
Great to be with you.
Rush uh returns Monday, Monday at twelve Eastern Rush will be back.
I think he I think he had to make a secret secret trip to uh to to London to so you may see him in Westminster Abbey.
I think he got after they disinvited uh Colonel Gaddafi, I think Rush maybe uh had a word with Elton John and and uh and picked up Gaddafi's ticket, which is it was actually a pretty good seat.
I gather Gaddafi had been seated uh just behind the parents of the uh of the bride, and it it was uh terribly embarrassing because he'd picked out a uh a a brand new uh dress for the wedding, uh and then uh suddenly he gets disinvited.
I think they dropped it on him.
I think in fact NATO dropped the disinvitation to the royal wedding uh on the presidential palace in Tripoli.
So it's uh I mean you don't do that to people.
Not to people you've been sucking up to for uh years and years, like uh Britain and France and everybody else have been doing with Colonel Gaddafi.
So I thought that was pretty bad.
Uh but uh but you may see Rush in the uh royal wedding coverage uh tomorrow.
I mentioned uh last hour that the head honcho of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Lazar Greenfield, a distinguished vascular surgeon, uh had uh had been forced to resign uh after uh referring to a scientific study in which uh researchers had found ingredients in semen that actually had healthy effects on the richly vascularized vagina.
And uh and uh I I'm not gonna say vascularized vagina again, because I said I had never h hitherto used that phrase in my life, and now I find myself involuntarily twitching and saying it every couple of minutes, and uh uh uh a uh a listener just wrote to me and said, Can we combine a vascularized vagina with Weigo Wednesday?
So we may have WeGo Wednesday wascularized vagina day uh sometime on the Rush Limbaugh show coming up.
Anyway, uh he'd had to resign because he was talking about uh uh how healthy male sperm was, and the feminists uh and the uh ladies of a sapphic persuasion had regarded this as uh entirely insulting and made him resign.
And uh it was I was interested to see who has the same view of um of uh the uh restorative properties of uh the male sex organ as uh the American feminists, uh uh the members of the American the female members of the American College of Surgeons.
Uh Abd al-Rahim Hussein Mohammed Abda al-Nashiri, a Saudi Arabian who reported directly to Osama bin Laden and is one of the most senior members of Al Qaeda held at Guantanamo, took injections to promote impotence to avoid being distracted by women.
According to evidence uncovered by investigators at Guantanamo.
Uh they reported that the detainee is so dedicated to jihad that he reportedly received injections to promote impotence and re recommended the injections to others.
He received the injections so more time could be spent on jihad rather than being distracted by women.
Now, this guy, Abd al-Rahim Hussein Mohammed Abda al-Nashiri.
Now that would be a hell of a long form birth certificate.
That would be the longest long form birth certificate you would ever see.
Abd al-Rahim Hussein Mohammed Abda al-Nashiri.
He was allegedly the senior operative in the attack on uh the USS Cole, the uh destroyer in uh October two thousand.
Seventeen US sailors were killed, by the way, in that attack.
And if you recall that if the Clinton administration did not think it was uh worth rising to an insufficient provocation.
That was uh their view of the attack on the USS coal.
But this guy uh apparently was so dedicated to jihad that he took uh injections to promote impotence and uh and uh so more time could be spent on jihad rather than being distracted by women.
Now what I want to I'm just interested in this, because he was recommending it to everybody else.
And if he was I was sharing a cell with him and he said, Oh come on, just have the impotence injection, you'll soon be able to focus more on Jihad.
I'd be thinking, well, hang on a minute, I'm only doing this.
I'm only like a suicide bomber, uh so I can get the uh hit the Virgin Jackpot uh get the seventy-two Virgins in Paradise.
Uh will will the impotence injection have worn off by the time I get to Paradise, because otherwise the seventy-two virgins aren't going to be any use to me.
Uh so I was uh I'm struck by I would be interested if any uh if any uh students of um of Jihad uh could possibly explain that to me uh or have any idea of what Abd al-Rahim if there's anyone from WikiLeaks listening who knows what Ab al-Rahim Hussein Mohammed Abda al-Nashiri Nashiri, the world the man with the world's longest long-form birth certificate, uh actually responded uh to that because I would be I would be interested to know.
Anyway, he was uh uh he he he's uh now injecting the uh the jihadists with uh with uh uh uh uh an impotence drug because that's really what you need.
That's the way to motivate the guys.
Inject them with the impotence drug.
It's the bigotry of soft expectations or whatever.
Mark Stein, uh Mark Stein Infrarush.
I was talking about uh Trump, and I was saying Trump Trump is not really a conservative, he's a business guy.
And the way that works is that's why he gave money to Blogoevich in Illinois.
Uh that's why he gave money to Rahm Emanuel in Chicago.
Uh I happened to be uh working for Hollinger, the newspaper group at the time uh they were selling the Chicago Sun-Times site to Donald Trump.
I remember actually um uh having a word with my boss, Conrad Black, who's uh pal of uh Rush's down in uh Palm Beach.
And uh we were in the their office in New York, and uh I took umbridge because uh Conrad cut the meeting short because Donald Trump was waiting in the outer office and uh Conrad wanted to focus on uh selling him the building.
Uh and uh and so Trump's that that kind of guy.
When you want to get a building put up in Chicago, you've got to do business with the Blogoyevitches and the Ram Emanuels and all the rest of it.
So he gives money to them.
That's that's the way it works.
And that's the problem a lot of the time when you get a plugged-in corporate guy uh running for president.
It's the same thing, you know.
I don't even hold it against him that his line of designer Trump clothing is made of China.
This guy wants he he's running uh the the central bank of his policy is that he's gonna get tough with the Chinese.
He's so tough with the Chinese that he has his clothing line made there.
Why hold it against him?
Everybody's clothing is made in China.
If you took if you took uh i i if if if you if you took all the way all the Chinese clothing, the entire country would be walking around naked and we'd be able to see who'd who'd uh taken Abdul al-Rahim uh Hussein Mohammed Abda al-Nashiri's impotence drug, it'd be uh stabbing you in the face.
Uh where all we're all uh everything is made in China.
Everything is made in China, including Donald Trump's clothing line.
And that's why it's difficult for a guy who's basically spending his life being plugged into Who Matters Funding Who Matters, suddenly deciding to run as a scrappy insurgent populist.
But beyond that, I don't hold that so I don't hold that against him.
But I do hold this against him.
The the uh the idea that our problems were created by China.
They're not.
The problems of the United States were created by and here in the United States, and they need to be solved in the United States.
And if you solve them in the United States, then whoever's sitting in office in Beijing isn't gonna matter.
They need to be solved here by Americans.
You cannot pass the buck on this one.
Uh as I said, we borrow one hundred and eighty-eight million dollars every hour.
What do we spend it on?
We waste it, we throw it away.
I learned this over the Easter weekend.
Saturday night, the day before Easter.
I was wondering, my uh the the rest of my family had been uh I'd just uh flown back from New York and uh the rest of my family had been up in Quebec City for a couple of days, and uh uh uh best I understood they were supposed to be back in uh around eight o'clock in the evening.
Uh time's ticking on, it's getting later and later and later, and I'm wondering where the hell they are.
And you know, you start to worry, you think, well, you know, I wonder if something's happened.
Maybe they've had an accident on the road, or you know, maybe they just run out of gas.
They eventually show up.
It turns out, it turns out that they had uh they'd bought some chocolate eggs up there, Easter eggs, and when they arrived at the border post, the Quebec Vermont Border Post, uh the border guard asked them uh whether they had anything to declare, and they said, no, we just bought some chocolate.
So they immediately said what kind of chocolate.
And it turned out they had uh two kinds, kinda surprise chocolate eggs.
These are sold in Canada, they are sold in Latin America, they're sold in Europe.
Uh and uh immediately they were ordered inside, and the kinder eggs were confiscated, and uh I am in fact looking right now at a Department of Homeland Security custody receipt for seized property and evidence in which the estimated domestic value of these two kinder eggs seized by US Customs and Border Protection were were estimated at seven dollars fifty.
Now you're thinking, you're probably thinking, why the hell did they seize these chocolate eggs?
Well, it was for my kids' safety.
The United States is the only nation uh on the planet, apparently.
Uh well, that's probably not true.
There's probably uh, you know, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, one or two others in there, to ban these uh kinder eggs.
Uh customs and border protection have a big alert for these things every Easter.
I had no idea about this.
Uh uh the Customs and Border Proction uh say that these eggs uh are popular in Europe, South America, and even Canada.
Uh within the egg, uh a large chocolate hen's egg in colorful uh wrapper, a toy within the egg is contained in an oval-shaped plastic capsule.
The toy requires assembly, and each egg contains a different toy.
Many of the toys that have been tested by the Consumer Product Safety Commission in the past were determined to present a choking hazard for young children.
So these eggs were confiscated.
These eggs were confiscated because it is apparently illegal in the United States to have a confectionary product with a non-nutritive object embedded in it.
Uh last year, CBP officers uh confiscated more than 25,000 of these banned uh chocolate eggs.
Uh it requires uh coordination between CBP, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
So don't worry about it.
There's only three federal agencies involved in uh coordinating uh to seize to keep Americans safe from the menace of uh confectiony products with non-nutritive embeds.
Uh you don't have to worry about it.
It's just three federal agencies.
And Bailey shows up.
It's a rounding, it's a rounding error in the federal budget.
And uh you don't even worry about it.
When you're borrowing 188 million dollars every hour, this isn't worth worry this isn't worth worrying about.
Now, what was interesting to me was my my kids uh kind of cranky and contrarian as I am, and they said, well, okay, if it's not safe to uh for you to admit these chocolate eggs to the United States of America, why don't you unwrap them now, give us the chocolate, we'll eat the chocolate, and then you can hold on to the plastic toys so we don't choke on them.
Uh and then after that, uh when we finished eating the chocolate and it's safe for you to give us the plastic toys, we can take the plastic toys into the United States with us and play with them under.
That's my ten-year-old boy.
My ten-year-old boy, uh, he's not a smart guy like Obama, but he figured out a he improvised a solution to this whole thing.
The guy said no.
The the border guard said no.
Uh my children were kept there, by the way, for uh an hour and twenty minutes, an hour and twenty minutes, while uh they saw three different officials, a a uh U.S. Department of Agriculture official who has to supervise the seizure of the prohibited chocolate eggs.
Uh then they had to see a customs and border patrol guy to fill in all the paperwork uh for these $7.50 worth of banned seized chocolate eggs.
Shortly, I I I am told I I should expect in the next three to four weeks a seven-page document that I have to read and sign consenting to the destruction of the seized chocolate eggs, or if I want to contest the seizure, I will have to pay a $250 uh storage fee for the $7.50 of seized chocolate eggs.
Now you add this up, the seven-page form consenting to the destruction.
The hour and twenty minutes they kept uh two grade schoolers there uh uh while uh they did the paperwork on the seized chocolate eggs that they weren't allowed to eat.
Three government officials to supervise the seizure for my children uh of these three chocolate eggs.
You add up the cost of that.
You add up the cost of that.
The amount of money and resources that the United States government invested in taking two chocolate eggs.
And the wonder is we're only borrowing $188 million an hour.
We're only borrowing $188 million an hour.
They've just said we can't secure the southern border.
Forget about the southern border, the Mexican border.
No, all the drug gang has got to come across, they're gonna kill people, they're gonna be head people, uh, they've got to kidnap people because it's unfeasible to think we can possibly secure the southern border.
But we can seize every $3 chocolate egg coming across the Canadian border.
That the the quickest solution to solving the illegal immigration problem would be to bombard Mexicans with uh uh kinder surprise chocolate eggs uh uh uh and uh and uh wait for them to try to attempt to sneak them into the United States of America.
A Mexican has no problem getting into the United States of America.
A unit uh a Mexican with an illegal kinder surprise chocolate egg would be immediately be seized, detained for an hour and a half, uh and have to uh and have to fill in a seven-page form consenting uh to the destruction of the seized chocolate egg.
That's why this country is uh sp borrowing a hundred and eighty-eight million dollars an hour, because it wastes that hundred and eighty-eight million dollars an hour, and if it doesn't grow up and stop wasting that hundred and eighty-eight million dollars an hour, it is gonna die when you're borrowing a hundred and eighty-eight million dollars every hour of the day.
A twelve-year plan isn't gonna do it.
You're in trouble right now, and you gotta fix it right now.
And dealing with the stupid chocolate egg ban and the waste of resources that goes into that would be a good place to start.
Mark Stein for Rush, more to come.
Mark Stein in for a rush.
I I made a little error uh uh half an hour ago, uh whatever it was when I was talking about uh the famous words of that poem.
First they came for the guys who sang Kung Fu fighting and they I did nothing because I wasn't a disco fan.
Then they came for the heads of the American Academy of Physicians who talked about the restorative properties of sperm and I did nothing because I don't have a vascularized vagina.
Uh that poem uh I I attributed it to Dietrich Bonhoff.
It it is, of course, Martin Niemoller, Martin Niemoller, German theologians at all uh German Protestant pastors of the mid-20th century, so so easy to get 'em uh confused.
So uh apologies that those lines were passed to Martin Niemoller.
Let us go to Fabian, Stanton Island, New York.
Fabian, it's great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Hello, Mark.
Thank you for taking my call.
My pleasure.
Oh, regarding what you uh mentioned earlier about I believe it was a study from the United Kingdom, was it, where someone was talking about how idioms in the English language are offensive to animals.
Hey, don't blame the Brits for this.
It's a joint study by Oxford University and the University of Illinois, and one of the co-authors is from the University of Pennsylvania.
So you Americans have your fingerprints all over this ridiculous thing, too.
Don't uh don't don't blame it on subjects of her Britannic Majesty.
You guys are up to your neck in it too.
Point taken, point taken.
But my my point is that that's right out of Dr. Doolittle.
Oh the the 1967 film with Rex Harrison.
He I think there's a moment where he's in court and he's defending some animal, then he goes off on how idioms in the English language he finds very offensive.
Like that's building as a pig and dirty as a dog.
You know that's what it is.
That's the world that what was an amusing scene in a children's movie in the nineteen sixties is now the subject of aca agademic journals in the early twenty-first century.
If uh if people ask me uh can he speak in Pelican, I'd say like Helican.
I'd be wrong.
Can you what is it?
Can you swear in hippopotamus?
I'd say why not abus, and I would.
And that's that's the world we've made.
What I thought was a clever moment in a scene from a film I barely remember is he in this courtroom defending some animal, then going off on oh, all these idioms are offensive to animals.
Right, right, right.
No, no, it's clamor, but you don't look at it and go, yeah, we should make this law.
No, but you know something?
That is that is actually the way to bet.
Uh because if you think of anything, you you go back to the jokes they made uh about uh about political correctness thirty years ago, where they where they took the uh the dawn of political tr uh correctness, they take the uh they take the most extreme examples and exaggerate them for satirical purposes.
And now all the satirical purposes have come true.
So as you say, uh uh an uh uh uh uh what was a sweet scene in a children's fable, now grown men uh bearing advanced degrees and holding tenure at the most prestigious academic institutions on the planet are basically advancing the same arguments as were made by uh Rex Harrison as Dr. Doolittle.
Fabian That is uh that is ingenious point.
Uh di do you Did you ever see the Eddie Murphy remake, by the way?
No, I didn't.
Okay, because that didn't it didn't have that uh talk to the animal song.
It didn't have the uh great song in it.
But I wondered whether I can't remember now whether they retained that scene uh for the for them for for the remake uh or whether i if by that point they were already so aware uh that in fact these ideas were in fact serious ideas that you didn't want to make jokes of or just uh suggest were children's fables uh whether they'd uh whether they'd cut that scene.
But that's the world we're in now.
The Journal of Animal Ethics published by the University of Illinois and uh Oxford University in England are now arguing for the same policies uh that Dr. Doolittle was standing up and arguing for in a nineteen sixties children movie.
Take the most that's the best way to bet by the way take the most absurd joke that's around today it'll be law in twenty years time.
Your undocumented Anchorman sitting in for rush rush will return live Monday but don't forget you can uh you can access all of Rush in print and audio and uh and get downloads for your app uh uh or apps for your download or whatever they say.
If you go to Rush Limbaugh dot com you can get your iPhone app for Rush if you go to Rushlimbore.com and sign up for 24 uh seven Rush membership which uh which means you get access to pretty much everything there.
So it's like he's never away and you don't have to be discombobulated by sinister foreign guest hosts.
one eight hundred uh two eight two uh two eight eight two let us go to Sherry in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Sherry, thanks for waiting.
You're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Hey Mark it's great to talk to you.
My pleasure.
Good to have you with us.
Thank you.
I was telling the call screener that I get insulted every time Obama opens his mouth.
When he was talking last night about this silliness and carnival and all that business, you know, I was thinking to myself, what an idiot.
You know, he is the one who has created all of this silliness and all this carnival atmosphere because he wasn't up front when Clinton asked.
of Democrats who asked during the 6th campaign for his birth certificate.
Right, right, right.
You know what's fascinating to me about this by the way is that as you say this is this all this was controlled by him.
Uh because he could have uh the minute people started agitating about this he could have killed the whole thing dead and released it in nothing flat and he didn't he sat on it because he thought it worked to his advantage.
And uh and the I and what I love about this is that the press are his pals.
They've they're covering for him.
I describe I can't remember whether I described them as the Palace Guard or Court Eunuchs uh a couple of hours ago.
But they're basically both.
They're his palace guard and his court eunuchs.
They they cover for him.
Uh they protected him.
They didn't raise any of this they had no they s they s dispatched everyone to Wazilla, Alaska to investigate every single aspect of Sarah Palin's life could have been less interested.
Obama has just on his own version of things, uh a highly interesting uh has had a highly interesting life and yet the press had absolutely no interest in it.
They wanted every every aspect of Sarah Palin's rather boring, dreary life growing up in Wozilla, Alaska they were fascinated by.
But Mr Mr Exotica man raised uh in Indonesia and with family in Kenya had no interest in at all.
And the minute the Bertha thing got going, he he sat on that document uh until uh until as long as it was in his political advantage.
And then when it wasn't in his political advantage, he blames his buddies in the media.
Uh if I was if I was one of the eunuchs at the New York Times or the uh or the eunuchs at the Washington Post, I would be insulted.
I would be furious with him.
We we we did our best to kill this story for you for for for years and then when we couldn't kill it we made it a cudgel with which to mock Republicans and conservatives and Tea Parties as a bunch of nuts.
We did everything you said we did everything in your advantage on this.
And then when you decide it's no longer in your advantage you stiff us you blame us for the thing that's how you the people who fall for Obama are the biggest rubes on the planet because he he's he'll stiff you every time, so he blames them.
He blame the media for a political strategy uh that worked to his advantage.
A ma amazing, Sherry.
Amazing.
You're right.
It's actually it's nothing to do with uh nothing to do with the poor old boys at the New York Times and ABC and CBS.
You're right about that.
I mean he does.
I get I get so intense when he walks so arrogantly into laughing to himself, thinking, okay, how can I fool them now?
And uh anyway, I just you don't like all those things, those pictures of him with his feet up on the Oval Office desk, the one that uh Queen Victoria gave uh President Rutherford Hayes, uh with it with his open neck shirt laughing his head off.
Th those those drive you nuts, those pictures of him just uh laughing in his open neck shirt and all the rest of it.
Oh yes, I I they drive me uh insane.
I can't even stand to listen to him speak.
I have to go into the other room, whatever he's talking to because I just get so aggravated.
I'm just yelling at the TV.
Well, you must be spending a lot of time in the other room because he gives a lot of speeches.
I'd have the other room remodeled.
You're gonna be spending most of your time there between now and uh November twenty twelve.
Uh but uh you know it.
I'm afraid he doesn't get reelected.
Well well, you know what we need?
We need uh uh we need someone uh who who doesn't get the narrative defined uh for them by the media in the way McCain did.
Rush mentioned this yesterday, where I said I'm not m McCain was saying we have no place on our team for anybody who so much as mentions uh Senator Obama's middle name.
He basically played the game on Obama's terms, on the media terms, and he and and he lost.
Trump played on Trump terms.
I don't happen to agree with, I said I'm not a big fan of Trump's uh I don't think he's a conservative, don't think he's a Republican, uh disagree with his views on who's to blame for the hellish hole we've dug for ourselves.
But whatever you feel about him, Trump played on Trump terms.
And that's what we need in our guy this time round.
We need a guy who doesn't play on the media's terms, who doesn't play on the Democrats' terms, but who plays on his own terms the way Trump did when he when when he when he forced uh in in the space of two weeks, in the space of two weeks, he forced Obama to reverse his position on uh on something that Obama had been messing with uh for for years.
Uh so that's what we need.
Uh the lesson you need to learn from that is Trump played on Trump's terms and he won there.
Uh and that's what that's what we need in uh need in our candidate.
By the way, that arrogant laughing thing, you know.
I just like I'd like to come back to that um a moment.
I made a uh a reference to the uh the royal wedding tomorrow at the top of the show, and I got a couple of emails saying, Oh, who cares?
Who cares about all these uh pampered monarchical parasites uh getting hitched in London?
Americans settle that question once and for all in 1776.
Uh so we don't need uh we don't need to worry about that.
It's unbecoming uh to uh pay attention to it.
Uh that would be a good argument if you didn't uh if uh if if if in effect Americans hadn't elected a neo-monarchical head of state.
Uh you can talk about all your uh blood sucking uh parasites in the royal family uh and all the rest of it.
But uh I'll tell you something.
Uh the Queen would never dream of taking Air Force One to Chicago to tape a s uh tape Oprah.
Uh what's Republican about that?
This guy is supposed to be a citizen legislator.
Have you ever been have you ever been in an American city uh when the President of the United States has been giving a speech on the other side of town?
Just because you happen to be in a building near where the president is speaking, you're in lockdown.
Your life is on hold.
You don't you can't do anything, you can't go anywhere, you don't what's where's the citizen legislator in that?
The citizen executive in that.
That's what the president is supposed of the United States is supposed to be.
He's supposed to be a guy like Calvin Coolidge, who takes the oath of office in his candlelit homestead, uh presided over by uh his father who's a justice of the peace, and he goes to Washington and he serves his term and he comes uh home and he dies and he's buried on the same hillside with the same gravestone as his seven uh the seven uh generations of Coolidges in the line before him.
That's a citizen executive.
Uh there's no point complaining about the cost of uh the royal wedding when uh the cost of the presidency of the United States is exponentially vaster than that.
The Queen wouldn't dream of carrying on.
The Queen wouldn't dream of uh hijacking uh air Air Force One uh to fly up to New York to catch a Broadway show.
And by the way, the Queen's a bargain because she's uh uh not only Britain's head of state, she's Canada's head of state, she's Australia's head of state, she's Belize's head of state, she's Jamaica's head of state, she's the Solomon Islands head of state.
She th that's the biggest job share on the planet.
If that isn't an even environmentally friendly, uh sustainable uh head of state arrangement, there's none there's none on the planet.
Uh that's a bargain compared to this what's the point uh what's the point of dumping George the Third uh to to elect uh King Barack and Mary Antoinette uh to swank about.
Uh the the the sheer the the bloatedness, the bloatedness that attends uh that the the that attends the uh first family of the United States now uh is unrepublican and unbecoming.
Uh and and somebody ought to do something about that.
I mean, Donald Trump probably isn't the guy to do that, but I would imagine that if you were to elect Donald Trump as president, uh at least when he's flying up to Chicago to tape Oprah, he'll be he'll be uh flying on Trump Force One rather than Air Force O and uh and that's and if you're gonna be swanking around like that, you should be doing it on your uh you should be doing it on your own dime.
And that's that's why we had the grotesque and offensive sight uh just a couple of weeks ago when uh he was doing whatever it was uh all these stupid events he does now, the first Facebook town hall meeting or whatever the hell it was.
Uh he he he g this guy takes a motorcade to go and lecture a man on how he's uh got uh he he's driving uh uh an improper vehicle.
He's telling a man this is a guy climbs into a motorcade to lecture a fellow who has to drive himself to work.
Where's the citizen executive in that?
Where well what's republican about that?
Uh this stuff is way out of line.
It's it's beyond it's nothing you're not you you're not comparing yourself with Buckingham Palace on this.
You're comparing yourself with the most bloated and decadent royal houses in in uh in the in the Middle East, uh like those House of Soud guys when uh uh uh they uh fly into that resort where they got a big uh uh resort in Spain and uh they give the exclusive contract to supply the so-called quote escorts unquote uh to a uh an agency in London that supplies them only with blondes and the blondes have to be rotated every two weeks uh and new ones flown in for the Saudi princes because the original
blondes are all exhausted by then.
Uh when you have the level of bloated expenditures that that the United States that now attends the US presidency, uh there's nothing Republican uh about that.
Calvin Coolidge is a citizen executive, a guy who uh requires a government jet to fly him to f to fly in to Chicago to tape a daytime talk show uh is not a citizen executive.
Mark Stein and Farush, lots more to come.
Mark Stein in for us.
Hey, uh let's go to uh Andy in uh Southington, Connecticut.
Andy, you're live on the Rush uh Rush Limbaugh Show.
Great to have you with us.
Great, yeah, hi, thanks.
I uh am a little embarrassed to be quarreling with this comment, but my disagreement with you today, Mark outweighs my embarrassment.
Really?
You disag you disagree with me.
Uh yeah.
You you're you uh you you my uh my uh uh incisive geopolitical uh socioeconomic commentary is flawed in some ways.
This is this the prospect you're raising?
Well, the flaw I see is the fact that you think it's funny that the Western world is debating whether or not Kung Fu soldier is to be considered as hate speech if sung while Chinese gentlemen might be passing by.
All right.
Kung Fu F yeah, Kung Fu fighting, that's right.
Number one, nineteen seventy four.
And Andy, you you um you you uh w just let's let me let me let's step back a bit.
You you think it's not the cause of Western civilizational collapse and and uh or are you arguing that we're happy we should be I believe it is.
I think it is time for the debate, and I'm gonna tell you why.
You see I am a Grinch and every time and Christmas time they play the Grinch song over and over.
Right I'll have you know I'm not vile, I'm not mean or ugly as a crocodile.
I'm a nice Grinch.
I'm a sensitive Grinch.
And when I go out in public, my people don't even want to touch me with a ten and a half foot pole because of the stereotype of that song.
So if you were if you were passing a karaoke bar and some guy was singing you're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
It happens to me all the time, Mark, and and I can't tell you the hurt and the pain.
And I think EIB and your your ability to reach millions and rush to reach billions should be able to compile a list of songs that we of course should be in, or at least.
No, no.
No, no, Andy.
You're you're thinking too small.
What you need is we need a federal musical performance regulatory agency.
Uh in which of at least six agencies, I'm sure.
Yeah, with with subsidiary import uh probably uh yeah, we need a czar.
We need a zinging czar, uh zinging czar.
Actually, wasn't that I think that's Bing Crosby and uh Jane Wyman in some movie, Zing Zing Zing a Little Zong with me.
We need a zinging czar.
We need I haven't thought of that, I haven't thought of that song since uh 1943 or whatever it was a hit, but it was it was it's obviously launched there.
We need a zinging czar uh presiding over a federal ed agency of singing regulation to determine which persons in which identity groups can sing which songs, and that way we will avoid uh these uh these stereotype situations where people like you have to be on the receiving end of your a mean one Mr. Grinch uh every Christmas and Chinese people have to be offended.
Actually, maybe the uh maybe the um simplest answer would be to take all the Chinese references in Kung Fu Fighting, which are pretty cool, and replace them with the word Grinch.
So instead we'd be singing to you.
Do you see where this type of thing leads?
Oh, yeah.
No, no, you're right.
You're right.
I'm sorry, I've committed the uh I it i you you you enjoy the most important human right in the world today, which is the human right not to be offended.
And my suggestion uh that uh uh we should uh my not taking seriously your concern about the Grinch stereotyping in your a mean one, Mr. Grinch, with its implicit suggestion that Grinches are mean.
You're right, you're absolutely right, uh Andy, uh in uh in Southington, Connecticut.
We need to get on top of that, and you know what the answer is, Andy.
Uh federal regulations.
Sensitivity classes, of course.
Yes, sensitivity classes, but they have to be federally mandated sensitivity classes.
Uh thanks thanks for your call, Andy.
You know, he is right on top of it.
There is nothing now.
By the way, this whole chocolate egg thing, I'm not even sure it's safe.
I didn't realize my kids were attempting to uh smuggle in these illegal chocolate eggs that are legal on the rest of the planet, but not in the United States of America.
And I wonder if we don't need a chocolate egg regulatory agency.
Uh, you know, customs and border protection, uh the uh the the food and drug ed administration and the consumer protection safety council, maybe in ha instead of having it divided between three different agencies, we should just have the Federal Department of Chocolate Egg Regulation.
Uh we can build a night it will stimulate the economy to build a vast federal department of chocolate egg regulation building in the uh Washington area, probably in suburban Virginia, that pretty much filled up the Department of uh the District of Columbia now.
And it can be next door to the Federal Department of Song Regulation.
And eventually the economy will be so stimulated because from the East Coast to the West Coast, the land will be filled with federal regulatory agencies, and then we will have achieved the perfect utopia in which every aspect of human existence is micro-la micro-regulated uh at the cost of uh uh a two hundred billion trillion dollars an hour.
