Time Text
Yes, America's Anchorman is away, and this is your undocumented anchor man sitting in.
No supporting paperwork whatsoever.
We couldn't get the uh the prime uh Chechen guest host.
Uh he didn't show up for work this morning for some reason, so instead uh you have to make do with the substitute guest host.
Rush is away attending a funeral, and he will return live for another week of excellence in broadcasting starting on Monday.
We are following fast uh breaking news over these last twelve hours uh from Boston, just down the road from me at Ice Station EIB in northern New Hampshire.
Uh two Chechen uh terrorists uh brothers, one twenty five, the other nineteen.
The older one, Tamilan, uh died uh a few hours ago.
The younger one is still at large and in a poignant touch uh fled in a car with a coexist bumper sticker.
Uh it you couldn't if if you were to put that in a movie, people would think it was too cute.
In i you could get really cute and make it uh David Sorota's car.
He's the guy who wrote that piece saying he really hoped it was a white American uh terrorist for Salon and uh and is still insisting that that that this demonstrates his point.
You know it is extremely weird, by the way, to to actually want uh before the facts are known, to be urging it, to be egging on the fact that it's palpable, that you can feel it oozing out of the television set as you're watching cable news.
It's someone who's who likes Sarah Palin on Facebook.
Yes, it's a tea party guy, come on, it's gotta be, come on, it's gotta be.
And then boom note it's a uh it's uh it's a couple of Chechen guys who have been in this country uh since uh the beginning of the century.
In other words, homegrown jihadists in effect, uh but uh but not of the kind that the left so devoutly wished for.
It is being reported that the older one, Tamilan, flew in.
Now I said at the moment they're immigration status, and this is why it's relevant to the immigration debate going on.
The immigration debate, by the way, is over.
They had it this morning in the bathroom break uh for the f for the Boston siege coverage.
Uh while the Boston Manhunt was underway, they all went into the United States Senate for twenty minutes and they had the comprehensive immigration uh hearing.
So that's it.
The hearing's over, it's done, we missed it, now let's vote on it and pass the comprehensive immigration reform.
What's happening in Boston is extremely relevant to it.
I quoted today, I've quoted so far today.
The mom, the mom, by the way, was arrested for shoplifting in Boston.
So the mom's in Boston.
Uh there's an uncle in Boston who dismissed his nephews as losers.
There's a sister in New Jersey.
There is an aunt in Itobico, which is a suburb of Toronto.
Uh it's it's in fact a suburb I know very well.
My own aunt lives there.
I don't know whether she's friends with these guys, aunt.
I must call her and ask her.
Uh but uh there seems to be a a there's there there is a preponderance of Sarnaevs all over North America.
The Sarnayev family is planted all over North America, and the only place where there seems to be a big shortage of Sarnaevs is back home in Chechnya.
And this says something.
This says something about Western immigration systems.
What is it about the Tsarnayev family that makes them so valuable to to United States immigration?
What is it that makes that makes it so easy for members of the Sarnayev family uh to emigrate to the United States?
You know, I had I actually had quite a great deal of difficulty emigrating to the United States.
That's reasonable enough.
I I'm a rush guest host.
It ought to be illegal.
There ought to be a law against it.
Uh but it was difficult for me.
It was difficult for me.
It seems to be easy peasy for the Sarnaev family.
And with chain migration, by the way, with chain migration, the minute one guy gets in, everybody gets in.
We don't know from all these uncles, aunts, sisters, uh who are who who are uh all over North America which one was first.
But the minute one gets in, uh then boom boom boom, all along the chains, uh brothers, sisters, uncle, aunts, cousins, They all come in.
Now who do you think you get when you have chain migration?
Generally speaking, you don't get uh highly skilled citizens of Western nations.
Because, for example, if you've got, say, uh three highly skilled engineers, let's not say Western nations, we've got three highly skilled engineers uh from Singapore, say, uh, and one of them uh emigrates to the United States.
He may want to bring his uh he may want to bring his uh wife and kids with him.
But generally speaking, if he says to his brother, hey, I can get you in, the brother will say, No, I got a great job in in Singapore, I'm a successful engineer.
I can uh get a uh a job in Norway, I can get a job in Germany, I can get a job in Australia.
Uh I'm a highly skilled and desirable immigrant, and I can basically write my own ticket to wherever I want to live.
When you have chain migration, when you end up with aunts and uncles and cousins all living in the country, because one member of the family got in, uh you tend to get low skill you uh the only the only people you get are low skilled, because they're the only ones where the whole twenty-three chain of uh of family want to get in and live in the country with you.
So this is relevant.
Uh what what is happening the the Zarnayev family is relevant to America's immigration story uh from a philosophical point of view in the actual point of view.
We're now hearing reports that Tamilan, the older brother, flew in and out of uh JFK multiple times, and he was out of the United States for six months.
This is this is interesting to me.
Uh the th this if he is not a citizen, then being out of the country, and if he was a legal immigrant, then being out of the country for six months uh ought to be a red flag to US immigration.
They give you a hard time when you're out of the country for any length of time.
If you if you go for, you know, a week to the Bahamas, that's fine, that's fine, that's possible.
If you if you go for uh ten days skiing in Switzerland, that's fine.
But if you're out of the country for six months in one year, you lose your eligibility for United States citizenship, and that's why they keep a track of it.
Uh of uh a very good friend of mine.
He is not an American.
Uh he's a legal immigrant, he's been uh here a long time, and he was asked by the United States government to go and work for a for the United States government in Eastern Europe.
Uh in s essentially in one of the promotional wings of the State Department.
Uh he was asked to go overseas and work for the United States government.
Uh he was on secondment to the United States government to go and work overseas for the US government.
And he lands back in Washington, DC, and they say, Oh, you've been out of the country for six months, uh, you're in breach of your green card.
They t they took him aside, they gave him a hard time, he has gone to the back of the line in terms of waiting to apply for US immigration.
This is the stupidity, by the way, the utter complete moronic stupidity of the most powerful government and the most bloated bureaucracy on earth, that this guy is being penalized for going overseas to work for the United States government.
This guy went overseas in the service of Uncle Sam.
He heard the call from Uncle Sam and went overseas to work for Uncle Sam, and he's boom, he'll never be a US citizen now.
He's he's got this big black mark.
Uh they give him a hard time every time he lands in the country, uh because he was in uh technical because even working for the United States government is regarded as a suspicious activity if you're out of the country for six months.
But being out of the country for six months training in some jihadist squat on the other side of the planet, oh no, that doesn't attract any scrutiny whatsoever.
So this guy, Tamilan, Tamilan Sarayev, the uh the late Mr. Zaraev, uh he flew in and out of JFK multiple times last year.
He was out of the country for six months, and the United States immigration system never noticed.
Now they're gonna put they're according to this comprehensive immigration reform, you heard Senator Rubio talking about it with Rush yesterday.
This time it's different, this time it's different.
We're gonna check everything.
These twenty million people we're tossing in the bureaucracy.
These twenty million people, they're gonna be subject to some real scrutiny, you know.
No, sir, we're not just gonna hand out green cards and passports to these guys.
No, sorry, we're uh where We're gonna put uh systems in place that will ensure we enforce the border, uh, that will uh will ensure we background check all these guys.
We're not gonna just let a lot of people who are criminals and terrorists and all the rest of it just walk straight through and hand them a uh a green card and hand them a passport and stand them under the big portraits of uh President Obama and Vice President uh Biden waving their their little uh plastic uh stars and stripes.
We're gonna check at this.
They're not gonna check anything.
They don't check anything.
Uh right now they spend six minutes per immigration application.
What's that gonna be down to when they toss another 20 million applications in there?
It's gonna be down to 45 seconds.
So they're not gonna say, well, look at this guy.
What's his name?
Tamilan Sarajev from Chechnya.
Oh, that sounds uh this sounds perfect.
Yes, uh there we go, passport put it in the mail to him.
That's how it's gonna go.
That's how it's gonna go.
Uh the the the aspect of this story that has relevance uh to the immigration debate is the status of these guys and if if they have legal all these Saraevs living in the United States, in Boston and New Jersey, what basis, on what basis were they admitted to the United States?
What is their immigration status?
Are they citizens?
Are they voters?
Uh what checks uh did uh the United States immigration bureaucracy put in place.
Now I don't want to say anything because this guy David Soroda is depressed.
Uh that the uh Boston guys turned out to be a terrorist.
If it's any consolation to him, the Rice in guy, the guy who supposedly sent rice in to a Republican senator and the Democrat president uh turns out to be an Elvis impersonator.
What are the odds of that?
Apparently, here's the here's the best thing about it too, is this guy the Rice in terrorist is about the the second Elvis impersonator to be a Rice and terrorist.
Uh apparently some other guy was uh threatening to pull off a lot of wacky another Elvis impersonator was threatening to So, you know, uh David Sorota at Salon has we should be we should be uh profiling Elvis impersonators.
You know, right now at the airport there's no profiling.
You can see if you go if you go to like JFK, you'll see the Elvis impersonator, you'll see the Cher impersonator, you'll see the Michael Jackson impersonator, and they treat them all the same.
They don't say, Well, look, we've got two patterns of Elvis impersonators using Rice In.
Uh why don't we focus on them?
But no, you'll still see the TSA guys going through the crotch of the Michael Jackson impersonator.
Mind you, the Michael Jackson impersonators generally enjoy that as part of the act.
Uh but that is what that is what uh is happening now.
Elvis impersonators.
Do you think there'll be a price?
David Sorota's right.
David Sorota uh uh in Salon is right.
Nobody is taking this seriously.
You know, it there's no child if it's a if it's a uh jihadist, uh President Obama, the drone meister in chief, dispatches his killing drones to Yemen and drones those guys to hell with one press of the drone button.
But no droning for Elvis impersonators, is there?
Nobody's gonna be droning Vegas.
Nobody's gonna be droning Vegas.
David Sorota is right.
There's racism at the heart of a lot of this terrorist profiling.
So we will keep you up to date with all breaking news from Boston and the rest of the week's news because it's Friday and you know what that means.
Live from Ice Station EIB.
It's open line Friday.
Yes, indeed.
Monday to Thursday, a highly trained broadcast specialist strictly controls the content of this program so that you dilettantes and freelancers can't flibbity gibbet your way into the show with a lot of trivializing subjects that bear no relation to what's going on.
But there is no highly trained broadcast specialist available today, so you determine the content of the show.
1-800-282-2882 will take your calls straight ahead.
Open line Friday on America's most listened to radio show.
This is Mark Stein InfoRush.
Let's go to Jeff In Bennington, uh New Hampshire, couple of a couple of hours uh south of me in uh in uh uh Hillsborough County, is it Jeff?
Hi, Jeff, you're live on the air.
Hey, Jeff.
Oh, we're having we're having phone line uh phone line problems this morning.
I tell you what, let's take another New Hampshire call.
Let's go to Sean.
Where are you from uh in New Hampshire, Sean?
Actually, it's Chip, and I'm calling right outside of Manchester.
It's Chip.
Yes.
What happened to Shaw?
I you know, I don't know.
I was outside maybe the wind had skewed my uh voice a little bit, but it's Chip.
Okay, Sean Sean was Ch Sean and Chip.
It's the same thing.
Uh and you're at just outside Manchester.
Great to have you with us on the show, Sean.
Uh Chip.
What's on your mind?
I am uh shocked and amazed that it's probably a little too soon, but somebody somewhere is gonna say that if the sequester did not happen, that these uh these terrorists would have been caught because the feds would have had extra money to um do their investigations and catch the suspects.
Yeah, you're you're right.
At some point uh this will this will come into play uh i uh at airports I've noticed uh into the United States.
Yeah, yeah.
Well uh and but they're they're already saying that there are longer lines at homeland security because of the uh because uh because of the sequester.
Uh I was flying out of Montreal uh the other day and uh the line took forever, and uh when uh some of us complained, we were told that it was because of the sequester.
So all uh Harry Reed's Cowboy Poetry Festival is still fully funded.
That hasn't got any problems.
Uh but you're right.
Chechen's coming into the country.
No, no, no, that's true.
And and they would have got and this business of him flying in and out of JFK and nobody noticing that he was out of the country for six months.
Uh that will bet that will be because the the uh of the downsizing of the relevant uh Department of Homeland Security office that did not pick up on that.
Uh you're you're right, uh you're right, Chip.
That that that's the next thing.
The first stage is when they say, well, this guy is it's it's nothing to do with Islam.
And even if it is something to do uh with Islam, uh he it's it's not uh he's not typical of anything, he's just a lone wolf.
And then stage two is when they say, yeah, well, you know, uh yeah, he the system didn't work, but that's uh that's because of uh uh the sequester.
So if it hadn't been for the sequester, uh this guy would have uh would have been fine.
It's like uh it's like the you're that's uh that's a good point, Chip.
Great great to have you with us, and I'm sorry, say uh apologize to Sean for my calling you Sean ship ch chip ship ship when my chip comes in.
That's Chip down in southern New Hampshire.
The uh pro-Moscow Chechen strongman uh this is uh Ramzan Kaderov, by the way.
You really don't want to meet this uh guy in a bar.
Uh he he said that the route of evil should be looked for in the United States.
Uh this guy is the head honcho in uh in in Chechnya.
He's pro-Moscow.
He's basically the guy uh Putin had installed there.
Uh after for a while the Chechens uh the Russians lost control of Chechnya.
And then uh Putin decided uh he was gonna reassert his authority, and this guy, Ramsan Kadarov, is Putin's man there.
He's the pro-Moscow Chechen strongman.
And he says the root of evil should be looked for in the United States.
They grew up and studied in the United States, and their attitudes and beliefs were formed there.
Any attempt to make a connection between Chechnev and the Tsarnayevs is in vain.
You know, the guy has a point.
The guy has a point.
Oh, these uh these kids would have grown up as nice, normal Chechen youth.
If only uh they hadn't been taken to live in the den of evil that is the United States.
That is Boston, Massachusetts.
If only if only these guys, instead of growing up in a uh in what does he call it?
In uh in an evil uh in the root of evil in Massachusetts, uh that they had grown up in nice, peaceful, easygoing Chechnya, they would be entirely different uh bunch of guys.
Uh and that's uh the reaction of His Excellency Ramzan Kadarov, the third president of the Chechen Republic.
He is a former Chechen rebel who decided to switch to the Moscow side of uh the Chechen war and is basically Putin's guy there in Grozny.
And he says blame the root of evil should be looked for in the United States.
Mark Stein in for Rush.
Uh we are getting uh more comments from members of the family.
We are learning more uh about these two Chechen jihadists, one dead, the other still at large.
Joker, Joker, it's spelt D Z H O K H A R, but it's pronounced Joker, like the guy who just wanted to watch the world burn in Batman.
Jokar Sarnaev is still alive at this hour, but the police believe they're closing in on him.
More straight ahead.
Yes, Mark Stein in for Rush on the EIB network.
But don't forget, if you cannot wait till Monday, when Rush returns live, you can go to Rush Limbaugh.com, and you if you are a 24-7 rush subscriber, you need not be discombobulated by sinister foreign guest hosts.
Because you can get it all on demand.
You can you can get audio, you can get video from Russia's old television show, you can get transcripts, you can get all kinds of other stuff.
Uh Rush 24-7 subscriber, you uh you go to Rush Limbaugh.com and you need never be disturbed by another sinister foreign guest host ever again.
Speaking of foreigners, uh the Chechen uh brothers, who are the principal suspects in the Boston Math and bombing, I mentioned their aunt in Itobico, Ontario, uh, where my own aunt lives.
I live there actually for a while at the uh junction of uh Royal York and and Eglinton um many uh many years ago.
Uh Marit uh Sarneeva uh has been uh being very gabby.
She says she cannot believe that her nephews are responsible for this.
Uh Tamilan, the deceased brother, uh has been he she says he's a stay-at-home dad.
He's been staying at home taking care of his daughter while his wife worked.
Uh and uh so he's just an sh she can't believe Tamilan is dead.
He was just a a uh the perfect stay-at-home dad.
And unfortunately, uh, when your wife is out doing all the work from nine to five, that gives you a lot of time to sit around the house and uh and plot Jihad, and that appears to be what these two guys have done.
Uh let us go to Duido.
Oh, by the way, I want to be just before taking uh Dorito's call.
I can't re John Kerry, just a couple of days ago, said that uh that it's because he was talking about the gun control thing.
It is because he said because of all these guns, foreign students are scared to come and study in the United States.
Uh John Kerry, former senator of Massachusetts, says foreign students are scared to come and study in the United States because of all these guns.
So think of all.
So on this day, think of all the great Chechen students that we could have at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at Harvard at Boston University, if it weren't for America's horrible, horrible fascination with an obsession with guns.
We could have all these smart, bright young Chechen uh Chechen students, as far as the eye could see, at the Ma MIT and at Harvard and Boston University.
Let's go to Duido, who is calling us from um in honor of John Kerry, uh I'm gonna pronounce it the French way.
Vincenne and Diana.
Duido, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Uh good afternoon.
Great to speak to you.
Uh I want to bring up two small points.
Uh the late Tamerlin uh undoubtedly was named after Tamerlin.
That's true.
Uh Mongol that came down from through India all the way through Turkey, beat the uh beat.
Yeah, be whatever it was he beat it out of them.
That's absolutely true.
He was known as the sword of Islam, conqueror of the world.
That's right, the uh the big Turk yeah, the big Turkic guy, Tamar Tamalane, the great uh the great warrior.
Basically who he was named after.
I I believe, you know, uh uh Tamerlane was from the Uzbekistan, one of the Stan regions over there.
And the other point I wanted to make, and I haven't heard this over the whole gun control debate that's been going on.
Do you really believe this question would have been brought up if Sandy Hook had happened in September 14th of 2012 instead of December 14th of 2012?
No, I think you're right.
I think I think uh Obama understands that this is a second term thing, uh and that it's precisely because he doesn't have to run for re-election again uh that it that that he can uh he doesn't have to pay attention to the numbers on gun control, he uh doesn't have to worry about any of that, that he can just demagogue the issue and uh and get his way on it.
And it's like a lot of things, it's like a lot of things he waited until uh January two thousand and thirteen to suddenly uh express an uh express an interest in.
Gun can gun control on the numbers is a loser for him.
Uh and he and and when he did that whiny petulant press conference the other day, uh that's the bit he left out that the American people are not actually with him on this.
The American people understand that most of these gun laws uh if if if the if governments at all levels, if if law enforcement at all levels enforced the laws that are already on the books, uh half these guys wouldn't have got their guns.
But let's add another bunch of useless laws on top of it that only the law abiding people will follow uh and will just be ignored by by everybody else.
Just as in the same way that this guy, Tamilan, uh ignored US immigration law and flew around the world at will uh while United States immigration is chastising people who spend uh a week too long on their vacation in Bermuda.
This is this that is the way it is.
There's there's there's enough laws on the book right now, there's so many laws uh that law enforcement can't reliably enforce most of them, and people drive a big uh coach and horses uh through through the existing legislation.
But you are absolutely right, Duido, he wouldn't have done this.
He wouldn't have brought this up in last September.
He wouldn't have brought this up uh in uh in the summer.
He understands he under th the this guy is clever like this.
He understands that timing in politics is critical and he feels the timing is right for this uh just now.
Thanks uh thanks for uh and by the way, just to go back to what you're saying about Tamilane, uh the great uh the the the great Turkic warrior uh who swept through uh Central Asia and is uh it is an unusual name in Chechnya.
And when a tw let's let's work this out.
This guy is twenty-six years old.
Uh so he was born in nineteen eighty seven.
And I think when a guy in what was still then the Soviet Socialist uh the Chechen Ingoshitya Soviet Socialist Republic in nineteen eighty seven decides to name his son Tamilan, uh that gives you some sense of what kind of family this is and where they're coming from.
That's not just honoring uh a uh his an historical figure.
That that is something that has got a lot more freight to it.
Uh so thank you for bringing that up.
That is certainly a uh a significant development.
Uh as I said, we had the immigration hearings.
They've been and gone.
Comprehensive immigration for reform, been there, done that.
We had the hearings.
In the joke, uh pseudo-Petemkin Parliament of the United States Congress, they uh have had all the hearings they're gonna have on comprehensive immigration reform, and uh and uh it uh uh it it was brought Senator uh Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa, brought up uh events today in Boston.
While we don't yet know the immigration status of the people who have terrorized the communities in Massachusetts, when we find out it will help shed light on the weaknesses of our system.
How can individuals evade authorities and plan such attacks on our soil?
How can we beef up security checks on people who wish to enter the US?
Now uh how do we ensure that people who do who wish to do us harm are not eligible for benefits under the immigration laws, including this new bill before us.
By the way, Tamilan uh supposedly was uh arrested by police for assault and battery recently, okay, assault and battery.
These are things that uh you're supposed to bring up in the event That you ever apply for citizenship or you apply to renew a green card.
They can be disqualifications from uh continued immigration status in the United States or or from a uh naturalization application.
What's the betting?
None of them are brought up.
You know, and this is where I disagree with Senator Grass.
It's all fascinating this.
How can individuals evade authorities and plan such attacks on our soil?
How can we beef up security checks on people who wish to enter the US?
But but at some point the United States ought to get when it looks at these people.
Why are the Sarnayevs in America?
What benefit if you came over, like Massachusetts is pretty much the oldest part of the country.
Uh and uh that's just a sad fact.
I mean, when you look at the way they are now, but this is where they fired the shot heard a uh around the world.
The the the uh the state that fired the shot heard around the world is now uh so uh so called what's this what's the expression they're using?
Sheltering in place or whatever.
Uh that's the that's the cringe.
They're in the cringe position.
They've gone from the shot heard around the world to one million people sheltering in place uh on the orders of the governor.
Why?
Because these people uh are in the United States.
Uh what is the purpose of an immigration system?
Uh you don't just let people in because seven billion people on the planet are entitled to live in the United States and it's just a question of who gets here first and fills the place up until the fire code says sorry, that's it, no more can get in.
Uh there are American citizens.
In Massachusetts, there are very old American citizens.
They're guys who are descendants of people who came over on the Mayflower.
Uh they are US citizens, and US citizens have the right to determine an immigration policy that is in their interest.
Why I would have thought, under any rational kind of immigration policy, given given that Chechens in particular, anyone who has run up against Chechens, anyone who has run up against Chechens in the Caucasus, uh in Afghanistan, know that they are they are a uh that that in the cause of their struggle for independence and in the cause of the broader jihad, uh they are they are an extremely violent people.
You would think, you would think that any ra that's uh not uh that's a sad and melancholy fact of life.
Uh people who live in the neighborhood know this kind of stuff, just as people who know Albanians, you know uh Croats and Serbs and Bosnians are tough guys, but they don't pick fights with Albanians 'cause they know what Albanians are like.
This is if you live in those neighborhoods, you know these things.
Uh why you would have thought it would be difficult for large numbers of a Chechen family of no particular skill to emigrate to the United States?
But they're here.
Why?
How does that happen?
Why is it why is it that uh we no longer think that sovereign entities have the right to determine which outsiders uh they welcome to their shores?
Uh and that's why uh uh Senator Grassley, with respect, is not looking at this on the basis of first principles.
What's an immigration uh what's an immigration program for?
What's an immigration system for?
It's to benefit the existing citizens of the United States.
Where is the benefit to the to the the citizens of the United States in admitting these two guys?
How did they get in?
How can they then fly back and forth and spend six months out of the country training training to learn how to blow up their neighbors in Massachusetts?
That's the questions that ought to be being asked.
Mark Stein in Farush on the EIB network, it's open line Friday 1 800 28282.
Mark Stein in Farush on the EIB network.
There are some reports that this family uh was admitted to the United States as refugees, as refugees.
In other words, this is a uh this is where the United States takes these people in.
They're not uh they don't meet the uh the the qualifications or criteria for immigration to the United States, but they're taken in because they're refugees, because otherwise they'd be grown up in the hell of Chechnya.
Uh so this family were taken in as refugees.
The two boys grow up in the United States and decide after being taken in by this country as refugees that their overriding ambition is to blow the joint sky high.
Mike in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania.
Let's go to Mike.
You're live on the Rush Limbaugh show.
Great to have you with us.
Thanks, uh Mark.
Uh be careful.
We don't want to give too much uh credit to the reprobates and the ruling class that uh are running this dysfunctional government here.
Um how by the way, how's diversity working out for you?
That's true.
Celebrate diversity.
I'm looking at uh the unchecked student visas, flooded in invasion from the third world, and uh I I guess if you're European you don't have a chance to come in and go to school.
But uh, you know, it's just they overstay their visas, and guess what?
You don't need a very high percentage of uh whether they're Chechnyans or Pakistanis or Saudis to uh decide they want to uh do a little jihad.
Well that that's that's true, and in fact some of these things are fast tracked, because that was uh uh John Kerry's uh famous line.
Uh no, no, no, not John Kerry, it's John McCain's actually.
I mentioned it in the first hour of the show, where he says uh uh smart education and immigration policies are more important uh than uh than smart bombs.
In other words, we get these we get these people coming.
If you remember, in fact, on March the eleventh, two thousand and two, all those guys who uh who who can pulled off nine eleven, most of them were here on student visas, uh authorizing them to go to these flight schools, like the flight school at Florida, where they trained in taking off the plane, uh in learning how to to fly the plane and take off, and when it got to the landing part, they said we don't want to learn how to land, though.
We d we don't need to do that.
March eleventh, two thousand and two, to that flight school in Florida, uh the immigration service sends a uh a visa approval to Mohammed Atta in at that flight school in Florida.
In other words, even when a guy has died in the most spectacular way and is on the front pages of all the newspapers, the INS, as it then was, still approves his visa.
They sent it to the wrong place.
They sent it to the flight school in Florida instead of big hole in the ground, lower Manhattan, New York, New York, which is where he was residing back then.
But that's the point.
Six months after the guy dies in the most spectacular way, the INS approve his visa.
The dysfunctional immigration system cannot cope with having another eleven, twelve, fifteen, whatever the accurate figure is, million people uh tossed in the great sucking moor of the immigration bureaucracy, Mike.
And you think it'll change now?
Well, Senator Rubio, I don't Senator Rubio assured Rush that it would, but but the fact is, you know, this is what's wrong with uh th this this is what's wrong with the systems of American government.
That Congress can say what it likes.
Uh there are already laws in place to enforce the border.
I mean, d do you realize how weird it sounds to most functioning societies to say uh, well, we need to pass laws to ensure we can enforce the border.
Uh well uh why didn't you guys get around to doing that uh like uh two hundred years ago?
Uh th the the laws are in place.
Congress passed its most recent laws on that around nineteen ninety, I think in nineteen ninety-six, nineteen ninety-eight, something like that.
And basically the re the the immigration bureaucracy just uh decided to ignore it, as they often do.
Congress passes laws and the regulatory bureaucracy says, Well, nice hearing from you.
We'll bear it in mind, uh we'll get back we'll get back to you.
That's how it works, Mike.
And by the way, let us pass this law to make sure that we have everything you don't have, and forget about putting in a twenty uh you know, twenty-eighth amendment, whatever it's gonna be, to uh make sure that they gotta be shamed into uh uh not getting insider trading on uh from on the stock market, so it's just a dysfunctional mess up there, and I say vote all the bums out.
That's right, Mike, boiling it boiling away at Boiling Springs.
Great uh great to hear from you.
Open Light Friday on the Rush Limbo Show, one eight hundred two eight two eight eight two.
Lots more still to come.
Two thousand police officers and soldiers continue to prowl the streets of Watertown, Massachusetts, searching for one Massachusetts teenager, Joker Sarayev, nineteen years old, who has brought a first world city to a standstill.
No subways are running, no taxis, nobody is at work.
Uh he I have described him this morning as a Chechen terrorist.
He was born in Chechnya, but we now learn that on September the eleventh, two thousand and twelve, eleven years to the day after nine eleven, a Joker Sarajev uh took the oath of allegiance to the United States of America and became a United States citizen,
sworn to uphold the United States Constitution and forswear allegiance to any foreign princes or potentates.
Jokar Sanaev, 19 years old, still at large in Watertown, Massachusetts, perhaps with other accomplices, is an American citizen.
