	Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
	Yes, America's Anchorman is away, and this is your undocumented anchor man sitting in, Mark Stein living in the shadows and loving it.
	No long form paperwork whatsoever, no, sir.
	I'm from the foreign exchange student wing of the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
	It's a it's a great program.
	Guys like me get to study here, and in return, John McCain gets to be a columnist for Pravda.
	So it's it's win-win for everyone.
	We're coming to you live from Ice Station EIB in far northern New Hampshire, where there's an autumnal chill in the air.
	The leaves are falling from the trees like Obamacare opt-outs.
	Uh Rush is gone for a couple of days.
	I'll be here um Monday, and then uh Mark Belling on Tuesday, and then Rush Back Wednesday.
	He's uh he's returning early, in fact.
	He was supposed to be away uh, I think Wednesday and Thursday, but instead he's coming back early.
	So on Wednesday, uh Rush will be uh guest hosting for the pre-scheduled guest host.
	Breaking news.
	Exciting breaking news.
	The House has just voted to defund Obamacare, two hundred and thirty votes to one hundred and eighty-nine.
	And the president has tweeted in response, quote, they actually did it, stop, unquote.
	That's the president's tweet in response to the news that the House of Representatives has voted to defund Obamacare.
	It's a it's a good tweet.
	He can use it uh next time uh Assad or the Syrian rebels or whoever it is uses chemical weapons.
	They actually did it.
	Isn't that what uh I think that's what Charlton Heston says when he at the end of Planet of the Apes, when he uh comes round the bend and he sees in the sand the Statue of Liberty, shattered Statue of Liberty, the head and the arm with the torch poking up from the sand, and he falls to his knees and they said they actually did it.
	That is what has just happened, folks.
	The House Republicans have blown up the Statue of Liberty by voting to defund Obamacare 230 to 189, and the President has fallen to his knees between uh in front of the shattered ruins of American government and said they actually did it.
	Nancy Pelosi, meanwhile.
	The House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi says this is a wolf in wolf's clothing.
	This is no a wolf in wolf's clothing.
	This is this is how the government cuts are beginning to bite now from these mean spirited Republicans.
	Nobody can afford to buy Nancy Pelosi a decent speech writer.
	Nancy Pelosi says, it is a wolf in wolf's clothing.
	Either you don't know what you're doing, or this is one of the most intentional acts of brutality you've cooked up.
	The House Republicans have voted to defund Obamacare.
	Two hundred and thirty votes to one hundred and eighty-nine.
	So battle has been joined.
	And we're counting down now to October tenth, October tenth.
	Keep it in your diaries.
	That's the latest date for the end of the world.
	Okay, not the end of the world, uh, but the end of America.
	The end of America, October tenth.
	Uh that's when American government will come to a halt, cease, collapse, implode October tenth.
	Uh that's the latest cliffhanger date for the perils of Pauline uh government style.
	October tenth.
	Obama is already out.
	They was talking to a uh business round table, and uh and he said that uh security's uh social security checks aren't gonna go out, uh veterans aren't gonna get paid, uh America's armed forces, and it's gonna be nothing when they decide to do the strike against Syria.
	There's gonna be nothing in the thing that the big cruise missile fires out of.
	The barrel's gonna be there's nothing in the barrel.
	There's gonna be nothing.
	Everything comes to an end on October the tenth.
	It's the uh it's the usual Obama thing.
	Uh uh, you know, give me all give me all the money or grandma gets it.
	That's uh the uh usual Obama uh negotiating technique.
	Uh but don't forget to keep signing up for Obamacare because uh none of this means anything, and Obamacare's gonna be proceeding as he determines it.
	Representative Eric Swall Swalderwell, Swallowwell, uh Democrat of California said on the House floor Friday that the GOP needs to wake up from its radical ideological wet dream when it comes to reversing President Obama's health care law.
	You would think a uh congressman with a name like Swallowwell wouldn't be doing jokes about ideological wet dreams but that's apparently up to him he's got a better writer than Nancy Pelosi got to admit that's a better lie that it's a wolf in wolf's clothing which was Nancy Pelosi's the the GOP needs to wake up from its radical ideological wet dreams says Representative Eric Swallowell Democrat of California.
	So this is breaking news moments ago.
	The battle has been joined.
	Everything comes to an end now.
	They voted to defund Obamacare.
	Everything goes to the Senate now.
	And there's differing views on that.
	You heard Rush just the other day talking about Ted Cruz and his position on whether Obamacare, there can be a strong turn out.
	You know, the interesting thing about this, what is fascinating to me about government American style in the early 21st century is that there's no political risk here.
	Nobody likes Obamacare.
	Out there in the rest of the world, across the country, from Maine to Hawaii, everyone knows that Obamacare means less choice in health care, higher premiums.
	Everybody who's up against it, that is to say everybody who knows anything about their own health plan, if you're at the Cleveland Clinic where they're laying off people, if you're at these universities with the big health care plans that's saying they have to save money now so they've got to kick the wives and children off the health care plans, no spouses, no kids.
	Everyone knows the same.
	uh there's there's no downside to this but at the same time apparently it's uh you know getting Republicans to support the defunding of Obamacare is going to be uh is going to be a difficult job in the Senate.
	Meanwhile more and more news about uh the the downfall of uh the the the way things are going on Obamacare but uh for the moment we have this uh defining vote Obamacare defunded by a vote of two hundred and thirty to one hundred and eighty nine in the House of Representatives.
	We'll talk about that and the rest of the day's news straight ahead but it's the end of the week and you know what that means live from IceStation EIB it's open line Friday Well uh you know I don't know is it open line Friday Rush uh was here yesterday so he did open line Friday on Thursday so I'm not I'm not even sure whether we should do the full open line uh today.
	Uh no I don't know I think we should do semi because i we had open line Friday on Thursday so I think we should do semi open line Friday on Friday having had the full open line Friday on Thursday.
	So in honor of UN Week, which is coming up with all the big shot dictators in town, if you're a big shot dictator, like if you're the guy from Turkmenistan or Sudan or those kind of guys, if you're a dictator or you're calling in from an A-list dictatorship, you can talk about whatever you want.
	But in honor of Obamacare, if you're just a hapless citizen of the United States of America, you have to be constrained and...
	and be in full compliance with the every uh dot of the regulatory diktats so it's uh for if you're if you're the citizen of North Korea, Turkmenistan, Sudan, feel free to call in and talk about whatever you like.
	But if you're an a if a true freeborn red blooded American in honor of Obamacare you just have to talk about do everything the the way you're told to do it and comply with it up to the hilt.
	Okay 1 800 28282 on semi-open line Friday on uh the excellence in broadcasting network.
	Now exactly a week ago uh you'll remember Rush was talking about the New York Times running a column by Vladimir Putin uh American newspapers are dying the the Times is busted uh tapped out uh it's had to unload the Boston Globe for Far sale prices so they hire this bare chested homoerotic KGB Torture of Putin to write a column and suddenly everyone's talking about them.
	They haven't had publicity like this in years.
	So the Washington Post, which was also recently sold for fire sale prices, uh has decided to get with the program and they say, hey, we're we're gonna have uh one of these uh foreign strongmen types uh for the op ed page too.
	So they've gone and signed up the new so-called moderate president of Iran, uh Hassan Rouhani.
	Have you heard about uh the new moderate president of Iran, Hassan Rouhani?
	Uh he's in town for uh UN Dictators Week uh in New York.
	You can't if you if you're flying into New York, see a Broadway show, uh, you know, you you're flying in from Des Moines or Pocatello or whatever, uh it's murder getting a hotel room because all the uh all the hotel rooms are full of moderate Iranians from the new moderate Iranian delegation in town for UN Dictators Week.
	But anyway, the Washington Bose has got uh Hassan Rouhani uh signed up, and he's got his first column in the paper today, and uh, you know, to be honest, it's not as spirited as Putin kicking sand in Obama's face for twelve hundred words, uh but uh but his opening sentence I didn't realize this.
	His campaign slogan, everyone's doing the Obama now.
	Uh his campaign slogan in the recent Iranian so-called election was prudence and hope.
	Prudence and hope.
	Uh it's uh it's not as catchy as hope and change, but actually actually it in an odd way it makes more sense, and maybe it sounds better in the original Farsi, but but I like the way all these every every Friday now, the dictators uh doing a column, uh the big authoritarian strongman doing a column in the New York Times Washington Post, hurling Obama's slogans back at him.
	This guy ran on prudence and hope, uh, and he's writing in the uh Washington Post today.
	So presumably next week the Miami Herald will snap up King Jong Un and the Chicago Tribune will sign the Sudanese butcher Omar Al Bashir and uh uh the LA Times will launch a new whimsical Saturday lifestyle column by Turkmenistan's Gerban Gooley Betty Muhammadov.
	Uh it's it's it's all it's gonna take something like that to save the woeful state of American newspapers.
	Uh I'm in I'm a newspaper columnist, you know, where's the union when you need it?
	I I don't fly into Pyongyang with Maureen Dowd and Paul Krugman and say, you know, move over, Kim, we'll handle the totalitarian strongman stuff from now on.
	But all the strongmen uh uh turning into columnist for American newspapers.
	Um and um by the way, if you're if you're at any of these uh don't bother going to Columbia Journalism School or whatever, if uh if uh any of you budding writers out there, if you're wondering whether Kim Jong Un writes his uh San Francisco Chronicle columns on a laptop, um no, he prefers dictating.
	Anyway, uh Mark Stein in for Rush on the EIB network, 1800-282-2882, semi-open line Friday, and we will take all your calls on the day's news, including the breaking news, that the Republicans have joined battle and the House of Representatives has voted to defund Obamacare.
	All that and more straight ahead.
	Mark Stein in for Rush on the EIB network, semi-open line Friday, 1-800-282-2882.
	I said the the the big the big news of the day was that uh the House had voted uh to defund Obamacare.
	Uh but the the really big news of the day is that among the many new features of the new iPhone, Rush should really be here for this, because he's the big Apple Gizmo guy.
	I'm I'm still using my portable fax machine.
	But uh but among the many exciting features of the new iPhone 5S is that your uh cat can answer it.
	Uh this is this is from the New York Post.
	The uh the iPhone 5S has a fingerprint ID feature which allows users to unlock the phone just by touching a sensor.
	But a techie website discovered that even a cat's paw can do the trick.
	Cats have fingerprints just like humans.
	Uh Tech Crunch said, and blogger Daryl Everington found he could register the paw of a colleague's cat on an iPhone 5S.
	The cat was repeatedly a repeatedly able to unlock the phone using that paw, but not with the other paw, he said.
	There's a a video of the uh the the cat using the iPhone 5 S uh with the digital recognition, the using uh ident the iPhone identifying his cat's paw as the fingerprint recognition.
	Uh it's on the internet.
	So you know what this means.
	That means that the next big WikiLeaks, uh Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden security breach, uh unloading, downloading all America's secrets to the world will be from the janitor's cat at the uh at the NSA.
	Oh, look at the look at that cute little kitten.
	He's playing with the digital recognition software.
	Isn't it key?
	Yeah, Pussy Galore.
	He'll be leaking everything over the whole uh over the whole planet.
	That's the um uh that's that's on this new iPhone uh the five the 5S, your cat can unlock it.
	By the way, did you know uh that uh Edward Snowden and the Navy Yard shooter were pre-cleared by the same security firm?
	Uh it turns out that uh that's the that's basically the same uh the same firm that that uh that was behind the the security clearance for Edward Snowden, also pre-cleared this guy who killed all these people at the Washington Navy Yard.
	USIS, USIS, which is a unit of False Church Virginia base.
	We'll come back to Falls Church, Virginia uh later in the show, by the way, because that that is not an irrelevant address.
	A unit of Falls Church Virginia based Altegrity Inc., which is owned by Providence Equity Partners LLC.
	Do you get that?
	USIS is owned by Altegrity Inc., which is owned by Providence Equity Partners LLC.
	I've no idea who owns that.
	Maybe it's the uh Chinese uh Politbureau or uh Vladimir Putin or the Mullers in Tehran or whoever, but they are responsible for both Edward Snowden's background check and the check of Aaron Alexis, the guy who killed twelve people at the naval uh yard.
	He had a uh a secret level clearance that enabled him to get an access card, which you need to get on the base.
	So you can't get on the base.
	If you're just like your common or garden uh nut who shoots up the movie theater in Colorado or a grade school in Connecticut, you can't get on here.
	You've got to have a special security clearance.
	Uh but this company USIS, which performs the majority of background checks for the United States government, gave him a security clearance as they gave to Edward Snowden as well.
	Uh over four million people in the United States hold U.S. security clearances, which is the equivalent of giving security clearances to the entire population of New Zealand.
	Um according to the US Director of National Intelligence, a total of 642,831 people were approved for confidential secret and top secret clearances in uh in 2010 alone.
	Two-thirds of a million people uh a year.
	That's about the average turnover, which means that the number of Americans with security clearances, the kind of security clearances you need to get into the uh Navy yard and kill a bunch of people, uh, is up to about uh seven million people.
	They're basically giving uh security clearances to another uh eighteen hundred people every single day of the week.
	Twenty-four-seven, seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year, they're giving clearances to another eighteen hundred people a day.
	And most of it is outsourced to this company none of us have heard of, at least we've heard of the NSA, uh, but it's uh being outsourced.
	The security clearances are outsourced to the to uh whatever it's called, clearances are us in four False Church, Virginia.
	Uh they managed to give security clearances both to Edward Snowden and uh the U.S. Navy yard shooter.
	And they're right, you know, when you're, you know, obviously when you've got four million security clearances, seven million, whatever it is, when you're giving security clearances to eighteen hundred people a day, one or two of them are bound to slip through the net and get a pass they can enter the Navy Yard with and shoot up a bunch of people or whatever.
	But you know, it's a pretty good strike rate when you consider that there's you know over four million people with uh top secret security clearances in uh in the United States.
	And now let's kick this to the next level.
	Next October the first, the new secure system of Obamacare Health Records goes live.
	Now, who's doing the security clearances for that?
	Lawmakers question security of health insurance hub days from launch, according to a story in PC World.
	It's unclear if security measures are in place at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Exchange data hub.
	This is this is the one of the key features of Obamacare.
	They're keeping health records on over three hundred million people in one centralized location.
	By the way, on health records, they don't just mean details of your more embarrassing prescriptions and uh that unsightly wart that's in an area we don't like to mention or anything like that.
	By health records, they mean all these behavioral questions that you're now asked about when you go to the doctor.
	Do you wear a seat belt?
	Do you smoke?
	Do you own guns?
	Are you sexually active?
	Do you sleep with bisexual men?
	Do you sleep with drug addicts?
	All those questions are going to be in one national government security hub.
	Yeah, Rush returns live on uh on Wednesday.
	I I shouldn't have mentioned the uh the cat being able to uh use his thumbprint to access the fingerprint scanner on the new iPhone 5S because uh my uh my phone's just full of uh cat selfies now.
	The whole the whole thing's uh I wonder what was going on this morning.
	I woke up I woke up this morning and I found my new iPhone uh 5S just full of cat porn.
	There was like this uh this picture of like this uh incredible ginger tom just lying there sprawled on the rug.
	I thought, how the hell did that how the hell it's like the cat's been on the iPhone all night now, just uh downloading the uh the cat pawn and tweeting selfies to Anthony Wiener's cat.
	It's just uh it's just terrible.
	It's uh yeah, and then this really sadistic stuff.
	It's uh, you know, uh tw Sylvester Sylvester Tweety, the director's cut.
	You really don't want to look at that.
	It's yeah, yeah, it's not a good it's not a good thing.
	The cat's just on the iPhone all day.
	It's like get it, you know, in my day, cats had to actually get out and uh and catch real mice.
	You know, now they're just on the iPhone 5S playing these video games with digital mice all day long.
	It's pathetic, it's pathetic.
	But the cat can access I'll come back to cats, by the way, later in the show, because it relates to what uh Rush was touching on when he touched on the uh exciting Fleet Street coverage of the next president of the United States bisexuality.
	So remind me about cats and uh the the first bisexual president of the United States later in the show.
	We will get to that.
	One other thing on this security business, by the way, this security business.
	Guantano Bay, US Naval Base Cuba, using the Wi-Fi connection at Starbucks was a better bet than risking putting confidential documents on a glitch-prone Pentagon computer network.
	A senior defense department official testified on Thursday at the Guantanamo trial of five prisoners charged with plotting the September eleventh hijack plane attacks.
	Uh you you probably haven't read much about this in the newspaper.
	These are the these are the guys who supposedly were in on nine eleven.
	Do you remember nine eleven?
	It was way back at the beginning of the century.
	Uh 2001, September 11th, 2001, they caught these guys, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and uh some less well-known names.
	They got hold of them in 2002.
	That's eleven years ago.
	They've been held for eleven years, and they're just coming to trial.
	This this is the superpower at Twilight.
	It takes twice as long as World War II.
	It takes longer than World War II and World War One combined to prosecute, to prosecute uh these guys uh that you captured in two thousand two.
	Do you remember when they had the Nuremberg uh war trials in uh in Germany after the war?
	Churchill uh didn't want anything to do with it because he thought it was disgusting and a travesty of justice and a ridiculous thing to uh to to pretend that uh when you've been to war with a nation that it's some kind of the the best outcome is to drag them into a courtroom and prosecute them.
	And he he said uh he'd have much preferred if they'd just been lined up in front of a wall and shot.
	Uh but instead they had these Nuremberg War trials in Nuremberg, oddly enough, after the Second World War.
	And they wrapped it all up.
	I remember uh uh one of the deputy prosecutors on the uh on the British Uh side was uh uh Major Sir David Maxwell Fife, and he apologised to his wife uh that he'd be gone staying in Nuremberg for a few months.
	They wrapped it the guys who who did who ran the Second World War, uh Admiral Dernitz, who took over from Hitler after Hitler offed himself in the bunker.
	They wrapped these guys up, uh hang them or sent them to jail or acquitted them in a few months after the Second World War, in a war shattered, rubble strewn landscape of Germany.
	They were able to hold these trials, wrap them all up, give have uh prosecutors, defense counsel, give 'em a fair trial, call all the witnesses, uh question everyone, and then either hang 'em uh or stick them in jail or acquit them all in a few months.
	The United States of America, half uh what are we now, getting on for two thirds of a century later, cannot prosecute people who admit people who admit they did it in less than a decade.
	Anyway, I I digress.
	That's what's happening in Gitmo this week.
	They're finally getting round to prosecuting five people charged with plotting uh the nine eleven attacks while it's still just about within living memory.
	And they're saying that using the Wi Fi connection at Starbucks, if you'll uh because you've got to have uh uh attorney client confidentiality and all the rest of it, a lot of high secret stuff going back and forth to do with the case, and they're saying that using the internet link at the local start-up, Starbucks, was more secure than using the glitch prone Pentagon computer network.
	It was the best bad option that we had.
	Air Force Colonel Karen Mabry, uh chief defense counsel for the war crimes tribunal told the judge.
	Uh she's asked the judge to halt pretrial hearings in the death penalty case of these alleged plotters at uh Gitmo, until the computer system can be fixed.
	Uh so in that c that means these guys are never going to be prosecuted.
	Because this is like uh this Pentagon computer system uh has probably been outsourced to the same guys who gave the security clearances to Edward Snowden and the Navy Yard shooter, so it'll never be fixed.
	So these guys are never gonna hang.
	Um but they they're now saying that in the meantime, until they get a secure until they get a secure internet system at the Pentagon, uh they're forced to use the Wi-Fi at Starbucks.
	Uh that's the breaking news from Guantanamo Bay that the Starbucks Wi-Fi is safer than using the Pentagon network.
	Uh the uh there's uh uh an element of disagreement about this.
	Ed Ryan, who's another counsel uh uh involved in the Gitmo trial, mocked Colonel Maybury by saying, You're not concerned about the nice man in the green apron looking over the major's shoulders as he's typing these emails, said Ryan sardonically.
	So this now, the the same people who are running the system that uh if you want to if you're if you're involved in the big Gitmo 911 trial, it's safer to use the Wi-Fi at Starbucks.
	Uh the same people who gave security clearances to Edward Snowden and the Navy Yard Shooter, the same government that has has put these secure facilities in place by which uh every secret the United States government has is now known to anyone on the entire planet, and Edward Snowden is in a luxury apartment laughing it up and telling everything he knows to Vladimir Putin.
	That same system now is going to be responsible for keeping confidential all the details about your kidneys and your hernia and your heart disease and your Viagra subscription in this new health care hub that is to be launched on October the first.
	And uh if you think if you take all these things, if if you take the the combination of these things, the NSA, the IRS, which is the agency directly involved with uh uh running uh Obamacare, uh, they're now gonna be the same mentality, the same mentality is going to have the health records and the and more importantly the behavior records of three hundred million people in one centralized location.
	So uh Edward Snowden or Edward Snowden's cat the down the down the we're about six months away from the Edward Snowden of Obamacare or the Edward Snowden's cat of Obamacare, leaking all the secrets leaking America's health records to the world.
	And maybe it'll start with, you know, Miley Cyrus.
	They'll Miley Cyrus maybe has got a bit of lower back pain from excessive twerking, and someone will will find that and leak that to the world.
	But then it'll be everyone.
	Everyone will know uh all your health care secrets.
	Let's go to Pat in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where the axe is gonna fall.
	Uh According to uh predictions, the uh federal funding uh to deal with the floods in Colorado will be the first thing that will be cut on October the tenth.
	So let's talk to Pat before uh she's washed away by the heartless Republicans who've now cut all government spending.
	Pat, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
	Hello, Mark.
	I'm a big fan and love your books.
	Thanks.
	Thanks, Pat.
	Thanks for the plug.
	Um actually I'm calling to talk about kind of government intervention in our lives and kind of a weird story that I have about how government's involved in my life.
	Um I have a a large great dame named Bentley, who has a couple world records.
	And uh wait wait, wait a minute.
	Wait a minute, just stop there.
	What kind of records does does a great dane called Bentley have?
	Bentley actually just missed the world's tallest and longest dog by half an inch, but he has the world's longest tail by two inches, twenty-six inch long tail.
	Your dog the world's largest therapy, or they call it working animal.
	So your dog has the world's longest tail, but he just lost out on the world's longest dog.
	So presumably the world's longest dog has a shorter tail than your dog.
	Yes, he does.
	Yes, and who is who is a longer tail, and his uncle was the world's largest dog for years, and even did Oprah and David Letterman and all that.
	So kind of a little celebrity.
	Okay, that's uh that's great.
	I like an inspirational story.
	At the time when America's just fair famous for being broker than anyone on the planet, it's good it's good to know that we can uh we can still produce the dog with the world's longest tail.
	That's terrific.
	It's one thing we can still do.
	Yeah, that's that's that's great.
	Actually, the the the the government invention part is where um we had a family member getting treatment at children's hospital, and we wanted to take our dog there as a therapy dog to show all the kids how big he is and everything, so I trained him.
	And a dog food company approached us and said they would help raise money for kids' cancer if Bentley if they could take a picture of Bentley and use it uh to promote the charity.
	Once they did that, now the government's involved.
	Uh there's a little known uh department of the government under U.S. Department of Agriculture called AFUS, the Animal Plant Health Inspection Service.
	And twice a year now, since we agreed to do that, until my dog dies, they will do pri our uh inspections on my house uh unannounced.
	Right.
	They will come and inspect my house, just they just knock on the door and now I gotta let them in and they gotta go through the house to make sure Bentley's being taken care of.
	I know I yeah, this this I've I I don't know, I've never heard it done with dogs before, but this is like uh they they do it to magicians who have rabbits that they produce from their hats.
	They suddenly descend on these magicians' homes.
	It's like a a US Department of Agriculture SWAT team, uh I I mocked it as Bunny Team Six, but apparently it's also Great Dane Team Six, and they descend on your house to to check that uh your uh your you're keeping uh the Great Dane, you you they don't w his long tail isn't being uh artificially cramped by the size of his kennel or anything.
	Well, they even go as far as uh if you have carpet, which I was lucky I don't have carpet in my house, but if I do, it would have to be removed.
	What dog?
	Why what's what doesn't a dog like about carpet?
	Well, i I guess they they their sense is that it could get dirty diseases or something.
	So there is you're not allowed carpet and food must be contained in self or airtight containers and th literally the book of rules.
	It's the same people that inspect the zoos, inspect my house.
	Well, that that's incredible.
	You know, by the way, the US Department of Agriculture, you mock them for wanting to take up your carpet.
	Um but there is expert support for this.
	Barbara Streisand, when she played the Empire Pool at Wembley in London, she gave a concert there, and she demanded before she would agree to sing at the Empire Pool in Wembley that the carpet be removed on health grounds.
	So so clearly, whatever the problem with broad loom is, it's equally threatening both to dogs and Barbara Streisand, Pat.
	So your great Dane is in good company there.
	Then Barbara Streisand's writer.
	he's willing to lay on about anything.
	Don't tempt me.
	Don't tempt me.
	I'm not gonna say that about Barbara.
	I'm sure she's a lovely lady.
	So anyway, Pat.
	But the more we do, and now he's doing a children's book we hand out to the kids at the hospital on Kickstarter dot com, and they they we get more inspections now.
	So from a photo to his own children's book, either way, we have these private inspections from here on out.
	And even if Bentley never did another thing for the life of the dog, they will come and inspect.
	Yeah, no, no, that's right.
	That's right.
	You've got the government you've got the you've got the government canine uh Gestapo in your life now forever, Pat.
	Uh thanks thanks for your call.
	That that actually is a fascinatingly uh a fascinating glimpse of the when when Obama says, Yeah, October the tenth, the Republicans are playing, they're extorting me.
	He said at the business round table, the Republicans are are extorting the president.
	It's an extortion racket.
	If uh and it's gonna affect you, because you're not gonna get your s social security check, uh, you're not gonna get your disability check, you're gonna die, you're gonna starve, you're gonna be eating dog meat like Pat's Great Dane because the r hard-hearted Republicans are brought government juddering to a halt.
	No.
	What that would mean in a sane world is that we'd say, well, you know, the uh Republicans are being a bit stingy, so we might have to cut back the inspections of Pat's great de Pat's house to check he's looking after his great Dane and his great Dane isn't uh isn't sleeping on uh on broadloom from the Colorado carpet king.
	Uh we're gonna have to cut those down down those inspections maybe to once every eighteen months.
	That uh m Marco the magician who bulls the rabbit out of his hat, uh we're only gonna be able to call on his place once every two years.
	But no, Obama cuts straight to the chase.
	Granny's gonna die.
	The Republicans are shoving Granny off the cliff, Granny's gonna die.
	There's a lot of a lot of things the government could do less of before Granny has to die.
	Maybe she'll die, you know, maybe if the Republicans are really serious, Granny's gonna die six months, a year, two years down the line.
	Uh, but there's a lot they can do in the meantime.
	Mark Stein in for Rush, more to come.
	Mark Stein in Farush on the EAIB network.
	I mentioned to Pat that uh Democrats were already warning that uh flood devastated Colorado was gonna be even in a worse state because of the House vote this morning.
	And that is no joke, Representative Nita Lowy, the top Democrat on the House Spending Committee said limiting government funding now would prevent federal authorities from being able to help out as Colorado recovers from devastating floods.
	That's only the beginning of it.
	Without without government funding for Obamacare, Colorado will be re-flooded, re-devastated, plagues of locusts will stalk the land.
	Uh the weather service may shut its doors.
	You won't even know about the flood until you you wonder why the water's round your neck.
	There's not gonna be a national parks would be closed, and overnight campers would be given two days to leave.
	That's very interesting.
	National Parks will be closed.
	Uh I was on the National Park Service website uh the other uh the other day, and I saw this National Park Service produces videos praising Islam's contributions to women's rights.
	You're probably thinking the National Park Service, isn't that something to do with the service that runs national parks?
	You know, every so often I switch on the TV and there's four hundred acres of forest burning somewhere uh in a national park, and then there's a g and the guy who seems nice and friendly and affable, and he's from the National Park Service, the that's the service of one's national park.
	No, they uh they're also making these videos on National Parkservice.gov, uh uh praising Islam's contributions to women's rights.
	Seventh century AD Islam gave women the right to be involved in politics.
	Did you know that?
	I didn't know that.
	It turns out that uh most of us don't know it because you can't really get uh to talk to them while they're all in the burqa and the guy uh isn't letting you get and talk to his wife or anything.
	But inside the barker, apparently they've got all these great political rights.
	And for some reason, the National Park Service uh doesn't have enough on its hand with the four hundred acres of blazing forest uh that's just outside its door because it's busy producing these videos on uh women's rights under Islam.
	It's very interesting.
	It makes you wonder now.
	I don't know why uh why is the four hundred acres uh burning?
	Is that because like uh they were demonstrating how to make your own suicide belt and it's suddenly prematurely detonated, and next thing you know, there's four hundred acres of forestry.
	No.
	So why don't we when we talk about all the National Park Service is gonna have to close its doors?
	Well why don't we start by just saying that if you want to make a video on uh Islam and women's rights uh in the seventh century under Islam, that's fine.
	But what's it to do with the National Park Service?
	Go and do that on your own dime.
	Mark Stein in for Rush, more to come.
	Battle has been joined.
	The House of Representatives has voted to defund Obamacare.
	October tenth could be the day that the United States government shuts down the National Weather Service will close its doors, and lots more.
