Time Text
Yes, America's Anchorman is away, and this is your undocumented anchor man sitting in.
No supporting paperwork whatsoever.
The last unamnisted immigrant in America, and happy to be here.
It is Friday.
It is the end of the week.
And you know what that means.
Live from the Southern Tibet in sunny South Florida.
It's altered line Friday.
Yes, you know how this works.
From Monday to Thursday, a highly trained broadcast specialist retains strict control of the show, like General Sissy is currently doing in Egypt.
But on Friday, we outsource the show to cheap foreign labor, so there is no highly trained broadcast specialist.
That means you get to talk about anything you want to talk about.
1-800-282-2882, the day after America's birthday.
Talk about the state of uh independence, the spirit of independence in the United States.
You want to talk about what's happening in Egypt, uh how things are going under the new reset button of the Obama era.
Feel free to call 1-800-282-2882.
You want to talk about the postponement of uh the uh employer mandates of the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare.
They've now been postponed by a year to this is by the way is very odd lawmaking.
I'll come back to this in a moment.
But it's very odd the idea that you can simply just postpone the uh you can pass a law and then just postpone it, postpone it, postpone it.
So that uh vague conveniently uh it was postponed until initially postponed until after Obama's re-election.
Now it's going to be postponed until after the Democrats take back uh the house.
So it all works out for them.
Uh 1-800-282-2882, if you want to talk uh about Obamacare.
If you want to talk about this new super uh beast, the presidential limousine that comes with night vision.
And uh we've been trying to esta a night vision and a blood bank in the bet in the back and armored doors.
And they compare it to a James Bond car in the news stories.
The point about a James Bond car, by the way, is that it usually gets ripped to pieces uh half an hour into the movie.
I forget whatever it is, the Piers Brosnan one, uh I think it's the world is not enough.
And it's the usual thing.
Q explained, now pay attention, 007.
This car comes with one or two special features, and because they work for the uh uh James Bond 007 works for the British civil service.
They're far more penny pinching.
They're not money no object types like these guys who've just done this new car for President Obama.
Uh so Q always says, Do try to return the equipment in one piece, 007.
And of course he never does.
He and uh the the point in uh the world is not enough with Piers Brosnan.
And uh about forty minutes into the movie, for some reason or other the bad guy, I forget who it was the bad guy.
Oh, he was some crazy bad guy.
A laser beam slices the special car in two.
And uh and James Bond is watching, Piers Brosnan is watching from the side and says, Oh dear, Q's not gonna be happy about this.
But in but in uh in in the US government, it's a different thing.
It's money, no object.
So nobody cares whether uh this big huge uh th this state of the art thing with the night vision goggles is ever gonna be is ever gonna be used for anything.
Uh the it's it's just you know, if you've got it, flaunt it.
And uh even if you haven't got it, even if you're entirely broke, even if you're eighteen trillion dollars in the hole, go ahead, still flawed it.
Well, what the hell difference does it make?
A hundred billion dollars for a trip to Africa, ah, who cares.
Uh so if you want to talk about that, uh you could also give me a call that.
Talk about anything you want to talk about.
This new Lone Ray Ranger movie.
This is Hollywood's way of celebrating Independence Day in America.
They put out this big new uh the big new Lone Ranger movie.
The Lone Ranger guy guy it was like simple.
You couldn't go wrong with the Lone Ranger in the old days.
Lone Ranger ran for decades on radio, ran for decades on television.
Can't go wrong with him.
Um this one, though, this one for a start.
This is as long as the entire uh Lone Ranger radio serials all put together.
This film is nearly three hours long.
Um the a liberal website, the IO9 website, reviews the Lone Ranger by saying that they finally found an explanation as to why this guy goes around with a mask.
You know, in the old days, they didn't explain the Lone Ranger, who is that masked man?
Nobody ever says why is that masked man mask?
But they do in this in this film they explain it.
And the reason he wears a mask is because, as this left-wing website, I own puts it.
It's a sort of sci-fi website, but they, you know, the usual kind of uh liberal types there.
But they say that he realizes his fellow white men are corrupt and complicit in the mass murder of Tonto's fellow Native Americans.
So he wears the mask because he if he takes off the mask, the Lone Ranger himself will wind up becoming complicit in the white man's guilt at what he's done to Native Americans.
So the mask, we finally, after decades and decades, the Lone Ranger was invented in what?
1930s, 1940s.
So we finally have an explanation as to why the Lone Ranger wears a mask.
It's it's to lessen his white guilt.
So if he takes off his mask, he will be like the all the other white men and be uh and and be complicit in the mass murder of Tonto's fellow Native Americans.
So the mask is his uh the mask is explained at last.
He wears a mask because uh it's uh it's uh i as this liberal website put it, the Lone Ranger's mask is made of white guilt.
That could probably apply to all these heroes.
I mean, I don't know, is uh Batman's uh uh spandex uh uh underwear made also represent white guilt?
Who knows?
It could apply to all of them, all these reinventions are the same.
But they've done the classic thing of Hollywood, modern Hollywood.
They've turned uh they've turned great trash into bad art, which is what a lot of these reinventions do.
Lone Ranger, well uh Mr. Snerdley's suggestions that the Lone Ranger should just have sat on the back of the horse.
Don't there's no room on the uh back of the horse.
Who is it?
Who's it complaining now that uh uh call uh Cordell West is complaining that since the since we got gay marriage, blacks have been moved to the back of the bus again.
So there's no rube on the back of the horse.
You're Mrs. Snurley thinks Tonto should be at the front of the horse, and then it's the gays, the blacks, and the Lone Ranger all riding together in the back of the horse.
So it's everyone, everyone except Tonto.
The mask they're wearing is basically the rear end of a of the of the vaudeville horse suit in in uh in Mr. Snerdley's thrilling remake.
Anyway, this is this was this was supposed to be the big Fourth of July Hollywood blockbuster, the Lone Ranger, in which the Lone Ranger is ashamed of his face, so he wears a mask, and it's and it's El Stinko Floppo at the box office.
It's a bomb.
It's uh what is it?
I think the Drudge is calling it uh Kibo Bombie.
Uh it's an it's an almighty bomb.
Dilunda, it's gone, it's over.
The uh the Lone Ranger dead kaputt uh doesn't work anymore.
It's gone, it's over.
And that's uh why would Hollywood think that was what Americans wanted to see on Independence Day?
I said I wanted to talk I said I wanted to talk a bit about the uh about independence earlier on, and I think it's important in the in the because what happened in July the third, the coup in Egypt, military coup in Egypt, and what happens on July the 4th, 1776, is uh is an in why did why does did the American Revolution work and why did the Egyptian revolution not work?
Uh why did the Facebook revolution and the Arab Spring turn into such a bus, basically delivering it the kind I mean Egypt now has a choice between uh uh basically a totalitarian theocrats of the Muslim Brotherhood or neo-fascists uh represented by these these sort of uh remnants of Nasserite pan-Arabism Uh lurking around Egypt.
The the reason, obviously, is because before this was a free country, it was made by free men.
They they ran their own affairs, uh, they governed their own towns, uh they they uh they governed their own towns for a much higher degree than anybody governed villages back in uh England or Scotland or Ireland or anywhere.
Uh they were they understood the importance of property, they were the wealthiest people in the British Empire at the at the time of the Declaration of Independence.
Uh they thought as free people, they had a uh a system of laws, they had property rights, they had uh they had everything uh except the final piece of the puzzle, which was independence and sovereignty.
And and that's why that's why the American Revolution succeeded.
Democracy, democracy, going into a polling station and voting is the last piece of the puzzle.
If you don't think as free men, you do what those Egyptians do uh did last year.
And it's not just the 51% who voted for Mohammed Morsi.
They they basically the two big parties in that election were the Muslim Brotherhood and then the even more Muslim Brotherhood, uh, which was a a an Islamic party for people who thought the Muslim Brotherhood were were a bit wussy.
And if you take that uh the combined proportion, three quarters of the electorate voted for totalitarian theocratic parties, because they do not think as free men.
Uh and the polling station, the vote going in and taking a ballot paper and putting a check on the box by the candidate is the last piece of the puzzle.
And you do and it's fine, it's fine if you just want to fly in Jimmy Carter and the UN observers, but it's nothing to do with real liberty.
The July the fourth is about real liberty.
July the third, this ludicrous stage of the so-called Arab Spring, in which General Sissy and the military brass uh have now decided to uh have have taken away the first elected president, freely elected president in Egypt's history and installed their own man.
That's what happens uh when you confuse one man, one vote democracy, uh, with the conditions of liberty.
The American Revolution succeeded because uh the American settlers already thought as free men.
Uh in Egypt, they do not think as free men.
They don't have any their their concept of property rights, their concept of freedom of expression.
I mean, if you look at this thing now, like uh the first thing Mohammed Morsi did is he'd start punishing journalists who wrote any mean editorials about him.
Uh that's that was his that was his big that was his big thing.
He kept throwing if you if you wrote an editorial against him, he threw you in jail.
He he he closed down your paper and he threw you in jail.
Uh so they got rid of Mohammed Morsi.
Now state prosecutors are saying that Mohammed Morsi wa himself may well be prosecuted uh over oh for quote insulting the presidency, unquote.
Well, that's nothing.
That's a show trial.
You know, you've troubled the guy, leave him to Rod in jail or put him on a plane and send him into exile in the south of France or Switzerland.
But don't pretend that you're observing any legal or constitutional process when you put your former head of state up on charges of quote, insulting the presidency.
You're just making it go along.
Do you think any of these people, either side, either of those crowds, either side, the the pro-Morsi crowds, the anti-Morsi crowds, how many of them do you think would be capable of writing a First Amendment or s understanding what it means?
Or understanding that uh a free society doesn't mean you go into a polling booth and vote for your guy to come out out on top uh and then he tosses people into jail for writing editorials he don't like uh he doesn't like.
These are these people do not have the necessary conditions for liberty.
And unless you give some thought to that, uh they never they never they never are gonna they never are gonna have it.
But that's why the American Revolution succeeded, and almost every other revolution uh that takes place fails because they do not meet the conditions necessary to live as a free people.
Mark Stein on the day after Independence Day, post Independence Day, lots more of your calls straight ahead.
1-800-282-2882.
1-800-282-2882.
Mark Stein in for Rush on the EIB network.
Let's go to John in Crofton, uh, Maryland.
John, uh, thanks for waiting.
What is on your mind this open line Friday?
Well, I'm watching the Zimmerman trial, and just before lunch, uh they had a confrontation between uh the defense lawyer and uh the medical examiner who's the prosecution witness, uh his name is Dr. Bao, B.A.O. Right.
And uh Dr. Bao brought in his own notes so that uh he could say the right thing.
And so when uh the lawyer, uh Mr. West, uh Zimmerman's lawyer, said, Are you reading from something?
And uh the guy had to admit it, and he said, What do you got there?
And he had pages of notes.
And so they asked for copies of the notes and to take a a recess for lunch.
Right.
And uh now they're going back.
And in the interim, one of the legal analysts on CNN, and I don't usually watch CNN, but they were covering the uh the trial at the time, uh, she said that uh uh the case is uh so uh against the prosecution that the defense is probably gonna ask for a directed judgment from the uh from the judge.
And that it won't even go to the jury.
And then she said, except that you know it's become so politicized that that that's not gonna happen.
And what I think she's saying is that Obama at the beginning of this thing of this incident, said that Trayvon was the son would if he had a son, it would it would look like Trayvon.
And I think there's a lot of outside pressure still on this, and it might go, you know, be influenced by the White House.
By the way, that's an extraordinary thing to to say for the the president of the United States to say.
I wouldn't have uh I w I wouldn't want to I'd be gone.
Once once the the most powerful man on the planet, supposedly, although it doesn't look that way if you're in Tower Square, but once the most uh uh powerful man in the planet says if he had a son, it would look like uh the victim in this case.
Uh then you would uh then I would uh just hightail it across the border and I would never set foot in the United States again because of that that that is if that I would very much doubt you'd be able to find a jury that uh in which the m overwhelming majority of people had not heard that statement.
But but by the way, just to go back to this medical examiner reading, that's a real no-no in court.
When you're a witness in court, the jury is uh supposed to be able wants to be able to evaluate you on whether you're giving your and whether you're giving honest test in testimony.
Uh you can you can ask uh you you can answer the questions that are asked of you in a competent, confident manner.
Um the guy who was on earlier, uh Trayvon's stepbrother, who basically blew it for the prosecution because he he let the cat out of the bag that he didn't really know his brother terribly well.
Uh that's a cla that's a classic.
You you you could rehearse these people, and and I take it the prosecution did attempt to say say this, say that, but the it was a snapdash prosecution and they didn't really rehearse themselves often enough.
Now, if you're just a member of the public and you've got a piece of paper and you're reading out, the judge might cut you some slack on that.
But when you're a medical examiner, you know you can't just read your script out in uh in in the witness box.
You're s you're supposed to actually be you're you're with you're there as an expert.
You're you're a medical examiner.
You're supposed to be testifying to stuff you know.
And if you only know it because uh because uh you've written it all down in a particular form of words, then you ought to stayed up all night practicing in front of the mirror so that you could regurgitate it competently.
I think that I think that the defense is right.
The judge, the judge would be entitled to make uh issue a ruling and just not send it to the jury on that basis, John.
Did you see any of the uh questioning of this uh this doctor, the medical examiner?
I didn't say I was I was hard at work here, uh, preparing, preparing for the show.
So you came on.
He was on for at least a half hour and he was interrupting the, uh, uh, the defense lawyer, Mr. West, uh.
And it got so bad that they had to have the judge intervene and say, uh, you know, let's have only one person talking because the court sonographer can't be uh, you know, uh typing down uh the uh utterances of uh more than uh one person at a time and this uh Dr. Bao uh who uh I guess he's uh some kind of an Asian he looks Chinese is uh an arrogant little jerk that uh kept on saying he doesn't remember anything and
everything that he's stating is just his opinion.
I mean so it was the arrogance and then followed by these notes that were uh uh what he did want to share.
He said hey these are my notes you don't have a right to it and the judge goes uh hold up there uh Charlie Yeah yeah yeah yeah you're you're you're reading them out from the witness box they're your testimony no no this is I mean this is an a staggeringly inept prosecution and and the the the the point you made earlier John is interesting.
If this were any other defendant this would be a slam dunk that guy would be out of here.
Because of what Obama said and because of the need for conviction, it may not be that way.
Yes it's post Independence Day in the United States of America.
Rush returns live on Monday for a full week of full strength authentic all American excellence in broadcasting.

American Independence Day 2013 the state of California passed on uh this California Senate on Wednesday passed the K twelve transgender rights bill.
Uh this is about transgender bathrooms.
Uh in California is sliding into the Pacific uh it's broke.
Uh businesses are fleeing California for more favorable jurisdictions.
It's got a health system that's been overwhelmed by illegal immigration.
It's uh got all kinds of stuff going on there but they're dealing with their priorities and they passed this K-12 uh transgender rights bill uh AB 1266 and it forbids California schools from K through twelve from discriminating against students based on their gender identity.
Watch me what this means is that if you're a kid in a California school now you get to decide which restroom you would like to use and which sports teams you would like to join.
In other words if you want to use if you're a boy but you are it's nothing to do with whether you uh ha are born a boy or born a girl or whether you have had uh operation to have the old wedding tackle taken off and you become a girl or whether you know you've you've undergone surgery or hormone treatment or anything like that.
If you identify as a uh whatever you identify with you're allowed to use that bathroom and play on that sports team.
It's all it's a m it's made me the whole transgendered bathroom thing is is actually the issue of the hour as America celebrates Independence Day.
There was a story out of Maine on the other side of the country a couple of weeks ago about identical trin twins.
They were identical twin boys but one of them identifies as a girl and it's now gone to the main Supreme Court because the one who identifies as a girl was humiliated and not being able to use the girls' bathroom in school she had to go and use the uh b bathroom in I think it was the nurse's office or whatever.
But now in California it's the first state in the Union to say that if you are in a California school you can use what's whatever bath I no I would have loved it when I was at school.
I would have loved it when I was like 14, 15 to just say uh oh yes I I you know it's it's amazing but I thought over the weekend I suddenly realized I identify as a girl so I thought I'd use the uh ladies changing room today.
I thought I used the girls changing room today.
Don't mind me pay no attention to To me, don't uh get disturbed by anything you happen to see.
Uh it's it's just I identify as a girl, so it's perfectly fine.
Would you do you need some help soaping your back?
Um I would be that would be that would be what I would have done at school.
And they say now that they're worried that under this, people, guys who are like football players or they're sports players, they're not like the the big they can't compete with the real jocks.
Uh so playing on the male sports teams is like uh is like a bit tough.
So now they'll be able to just decide they want to play on the female sports teams.
And this is the way it is.
This is the way it is in cali in California.
The transgendered rights bill, this is the first state in the union uh to pass a bill in which wherever you are, K through twelve, if you're a first grader and you'd rather use your little first grade boy and you'd rather use the girls' toilet, you'll be able to use the girls' uh toilets.
Well, that's that's what that's the trick, that's the trick, uh Mr. Snardly.
It is the abolition, it's as it is the abolition of of gender.
It was like I I I was up in Canada a couple of days ago, and they have like the big what I always used to think of as the gay pride parade, but in fact it's like the GLB T T Q I 2S or something parade now, because there's not just your gay lesbian bisexual transgender,
there's something called intersex, there's something called questioning, there's two spirited, there's people who live uh I there was a big story in the Toronto Star from outraged people who live in what they call the grey zone of gender identity.
And when they fly to America, you hicks at customs and border protection and homeland security in the TSA.
You don't have any you don't have any lines for the people who live in the quote grey zone of gender identity.
You think there should be men and women and all the rest of them, there's all kinds of people.
I mean, and it's true.
It's true if you're if you live in the grey zone of gender identity and you walk through a TSA scanner and you've got a full set of everything going through, then you get hauled over and the uh the TSA guys are so so the left is committed to abolishing gender identity.
There are no men, there are no women.
And that what that goes along with the gay mar that's what part of the gay marriage thing is all about.
It's uh you you they take out the word I think Spain was the first to do this.
Spain, when they introduced uh gay um marriage, uh, and they're just cleaning up the bureaucratic language, they replaced the words mother and father with progenitor one and progenitor two.
That's how it is now in sp Spanish law.
I don't know which one Mr. Snardley is.
You see more of a progenitor two type to me.
But like try it in a singles bar.
I love it.
It works with it works with the chicks every time.
You go in you go in and you like to s slide onto the bar.
You see a hot looking chick and you slide under the bar stool next to her and say, Do you want to come back to my place and play progenitor one and progenitor two?
It works every time.
You can't go wrong with it.
But that's what the left is.
The left is committed uh to the abolition of gender.
And it's absol it's it's amazing.
I mean, uh for a start, it ought to seem, for a start, an eight or a nine year old, this whole thing now, once upon a time, not so long ago, sex changes.
Uh it was something you got, you you had a slightly unhappy teenage period and you moved out of your parents' house, and at 19 or 20 or whatever, you went and you got a sex change.
And uh that that was I would think uh I mentioned James Bond the other day.
I think there was one Bond girl in the Roger Moore era who had originally started out as a bond boy, and uh she'd had this fantastic operation and uh looked uh looked absolutely uh looked absolutely terrific.
She didn't, by the way, if if uh Nancy Pelosi or Beth Midler are listening to this, she didn't get that on the National Health Service.
I think she had it done in Switzerland, because it believe me, you don't want to get your sex change done on the British National Health Service any more than you want to get it done under Obamacare.
Uh but uh but that's what they did.
People did it in their twenties, and that and then people started to say, well, 14, 15, uh they people can we'll you're making life-threatening change life uh changing alterations to the human body here.
Uh now they're doing it with grade schoolers.
They're basically saying, oh, well, yes, Jimmy, we got we got Jimmy a G.I. Joe when he was uh five, but he really didn't like G.I. Joe, so he prefers to play with Barbie.
So now we're gonna pump him full of hormones And uh we're planning on uh him having the full snip when he's uh nine or ten.
That you're getting if who knows what who knows what that's about.
Who knows what that's about?
Uh and the idea that the the presumption that it's entirely normal for a child to understand to understand concepts of gender identity at that age is amazing to me.
But that's the state but the you can't go backwards on any of this stuff.
So the state of California now says anybody has the right to use any bathroom has the right to play on any sports team.
Uh I I if you want to play, you know, if you you feel the guys' basketball team, if you is a bit uh the competition's a bit tough on there, and you'd rather play on the girls' basketball team, feel free, and as a bonus, you'll get to use their changing rooms too.
That's how it is now in California.
The abolition of gender.
And that's the left, by the way, is all about.
This is why the the right thinks of politics in two narrow terms.
The left are the the left, everything is politics.
Even so, in the end, politics touches everything.
You can't be a six-year-old boy without being politicized by the state of California, by leftist social engineering.
You can't you can't go to nursery school without being politicized by leftist social engineers.
Uh the right thinks politics is about electing a guy with an hour after his name every other November.
The left thinks it starts in kindergarten uh and the uh and the and the boys and girls bathrooms are part of the battlefield, and that's why they tend to win a lot of this stuff.
Mark Stein in for Rush.
We'll take more of your calls straight ahead.
*music*
Hey, Mark Stein in for the Infrarush on the uh EIB network.
Let's go to Illona in uh in the great state of uh New Hampshire, down in Merrimack, New Hampshire, down uh uh uh uh uh way south uh of me.
Greetings from uh Grafton County, Ilona.
Good to hear from you.
Well, greetings from Hillsborough County.
It's good talking to you.
Um I was wondering what your reaction is to the Gabby Gifford's Mark Kelly rights and responsibilities tour.
They've been in New Hampshire the last couple of days now, and I just heard on the news this morning that uh apparently Mark Kelly just bought a hunting rifle at a gun store up in your and neck of the woods.
Right he claims he needs it for hunting, but speculation is that he actually got it because he wants to prove how easy it is to pass the um the test for owning a gun.
So I was just wondering what your reaction is to this silliness that they're doing.
Yeah, and it and it is uh it is silly.
I mean, ba basically f for a start, he should know enough because of what happened to his wife.
Uh he should know enough to be able to distinguish uh between the purposes uh for for for which people buy guns and why they buy guns, and that there is nothing to be for him to be gained by somehow getting uh by somehow getting it about the people who buy guns for protection or buy guns uh for hunting are the issue here.
It's this is exactly the same.
All the things we've been talking about today, it's the same as the NSA, it's the same as the idiot security banning beach umbrellas at the Boston Pops concert in Boston.
But the the the lazy mind universalizes the problem.
And and in fact, you know, the l the lazy mind makes uh makes makes things uh uh th th creates bad things.
It's like after Tamilan Sarneev, uh there was some Saudi guy walking around with a pressure cooker uh and he was arrested, and apparently he was just a Saudi who's interested in cooking.
He's like the Paul Adine of Riad or whatever.
Uh there was a couple of guys, but on the other hand, there were a couple of guys up in Vancouver uh who tried to uh who'd just been uh uh arrested in a plot to explode something with pressure cookers.
So we're gonna we're about we're about three months away from banning pressure cookers, banning pressure cookers.
Pressure pressure cookers uh don't don't kill people.
If you outlaw pressure cookers, only people under pressure will have cookers.
Uh so uh the it's it's the mind that says there are no bad people.
We can't be judgmental about anybody.
We can't Actually look for the people we need to look for, so we just have to ban things, we have to ban everything for everybody, and it'll be guns, it'll be pressure cookers, it'll be beach umbrellas.
But you know, I don't know what it's like down in Hillsborough County, Ilona, but uh I would say up here, by the way, all this anti-gun stuff uh has been getting no no traction whatsoever.
And that thing that happened in Concord, where a state rep, a Democrat state rep is reading out some list of g victims of gun violence in America, and she read out the name of Tamilan Zarnayev, you know, the dead Boston bomber.
Uh and uh and uh uh and uh and it was only afterwards that people realize that a so that's what it is, by the way.
A Democrat state rep in New Hampshire thinks that Tamilan Zarnev, the Boston bomber, is a victim of gun violence.
That's the kind of stupidity you get into when you make things things uh the issue rather rather than the uh rather than the people who do them.
By the way, I think he was in Whitefield uh new, wasn't it the Whitefield Gun Shop?
I can't remember.
I know that the Whitefield Gunner actually invited him to come because he was discussion.
Yeah, was it when was it the it was I I bought I bought a gun at the Whitefield Gun Shop uh many, many years ago, so that's that's how slack the system is.
Even foreigners could just stroll it and there, see?
That's the point, exactly.
Yeah, no, but but that's you know, that is not that is not going anywhere.
That is not going anywhere.
This the the non-judgmentalism of all this, the I what what you have uh at Sandy Hook, for example, you cannot, as we see at the Boston Pops, you cannot turn, even if you read everybody's emails, even if like this German technology, they've got some thing now that they can the Germans have just announced they can pump uh ad advertisements directly into your head on trains, you lean against the window and they pump the advertisement directly into your head.
I don't know how they do it, but even if we had that here so that Obama could send you peace-loving messages into your head and uh you would never vote Republican again, even if you had the all-powerful s super security state, it doesn't do anything uh for people like uh it doesn't do anything for things like Sandy Hook,
uh and in gun-free countries, uh supposedly gun-free countries like uh uh like the United Kingdom, uh they're having guys with machetes chopping fellas' heads off uh on the streets of London in broad daylight.
You don't turn.
That's the lesson.
That's the lesson of Independence Day.
The lesson of Independence Day is that independence as a society presumes uh depends on an independent people, depends on people taking responsibility for their own lives.
And God forbid if you should be I I went and I don't just want to I didn't talk about Sandy Hook a lot when it happened, but I want to just uh I want to just say a word about this thing.
I think the militarization of our schools would be an absolute uh tragedy.
I went I went to my kids uh band concert, my little New Hampshire grade school a few weeks ago.
And uh and uh I arrived ten minutes early and we thought we'd go in early.
The doors are all locked.
Used to be that was you know, that's like a school in per picture perfect small town New Hampshire, uh where uh town meeting is held in the school gym and everything, and the school is a community building that members of the community used to be able to walk in, walk out of, take part in activities, all the rest of it, open to all.
Uh now uh you have to press a buzzer uh which goes out to the Secretary's Day and Shield, determine whether it's legitimate to open the door up and let you out.
So like th that that thing that you see uh in parts of this country, the military that that that are our our schools are like sort of armed fortresses against the world, against the community they're meant to serve.
Uh, we should think very carefully before going too far down that path.
Thanks for your call, Ilona.
Lots more ahead on Open Line Friday.
Open Line Friday.
Uh according to Jake Tapper, because of sequester cuts, there were no fireworks this year at Camp Lejeune, Fort Bragg, Shore Air Force Base, Pearl Harbor Hickam, or Maguire Dix Lake House.
There's money, there's a hundred million dollars to send the president of the United States to Africa.
There's money for a new limo that includes night vision.
Ooh, uh night vision in the new limo.
But there is no money for fireworks at Camp Legion.
The guy who does the fireworks at Campion has done them for years.
Uh has said he was happy to do them for free, but they they uh the company offered to do them for free, but they still turn them down.
Uh and if you believe this narrative, if you believe this narrative about the sequester, uh the the the the reason you can't have fireworks on the fourth of July is because of the sequester.
But there's money, uh there's a hundred million dollars to send the president on a failed flop disastrous trip to Africa.
Uh there's money for a new limo uh a new limousine.
Uh the don't believe don't believe this stuff, folks.
Don't believe this stuff.
They're picking and choosing.
And when a smart guy like Jake Tapper decides to string along with that narrative, uh he he's he's just supporting their version of events.
