Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Hey, happy boxing day to you.
Happy Boxing Day.
Yes, uh, America's Anchorman is away, and this is your undocumented Anchorman sitting in.
And like all my fellow members of the vast undocumented American community, I like to celebrate my cultural traditions and uh and and Boxing Day is like the Cinco de Mayo for those of us uh at the uh at the northern end of the undocumented immigrant explosion.
So it's uh it's Boxing Day.
Great to be with you here at Ice Station E.I.B. where the uh where the snow is falling.
Looks uh looks ab looks absolutely beautiful and it's absolutely freezing.
Uh and uh down in New York, Mr. Snerdley is keeping an eye on the telephones, ready to take your calls, so it goes from here.
Ice station EIB all the way down to New York and then over to California and up to the satellites and out to the world.
Uh Mark Belling is going to be here tomorrow, and Rush returns in the new year, but uh 1-800-282-2882.
Even with Sinister Foreign Guest hosts, the format of the show does not change, so we look forward to your calls.
1-800-282-2882.
Hope you had a beautiful terrific Christmas with your family.
Uh breaking breaking news from the Imperial Capitol, uh, and it came to pass that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus.
As you know, yesterday was December twenty-fifth, uh, which was the last day to enroll for the Roman Empire Census, but uh Caesar Augustus has uh now issued a decree extending the deadline to enroll by an extra day.
Apparently there were some uh glitches in the launch of the system and uh wait times for a room at the inn in the Greater Bethlehem area were completely unacceptable.
Apparently there was a problem with the back end of the new centralized guest registration system, and and late on December 24th, the system just crashed.
So Caesar Augustus says no one could be madder about all this than him.
He blames his slaves and concubines for not keeping him up to speed on problems uh with the development of the system.
Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have been out there talking to uh Bob Schiefer on Face the Empire on uh on what a great user experience people were in for.
So he's now brought in Rome's best and brightest to fix it, and uh has decreed that even if you haven't booked to enroll in the census, uh innkeepers are obligated to provide you with accommodation, even if it's subpar, non-compliant, bad apple catastrophic accommodation, uh that the new Caesar care census system supposedly rendered illegal, such as uh uh a stable.
Um under the Census Enrollment Hotels, Inns and Resorts Accommodation Act passed by the Roman Senate.
Stables were grandfathered in.
Um if you like your stable, you can keep your stable, but they were then de-grandfathered by the Bureau of Regulation, but they have now been temporarily unde-grandfathered by Imperial Decree.
Um so you now have an extra day to enroll for the census.
Uh executive prefect Sibelius um had been widely uh widely criticized for placing undue strain on the system by requiring that persons can only enroll in the census uh by traveling to the town of their birth.
But but Caesar Care Navigators are now standing by to assist you in getting there.
If you live in Nazareth, but you're born in Bethlehem and you can't get through to register there during peak hours, then why not try traveling to Gaul or Londinium to register?
Because the the wait times at uh Hadrian's Wall during off-peak hours are said to be very low.
Uh at any rate, Caesar Augustus has now extended the wait time to enroll for the census by twenty-four hours before leaving for his golf vacation with the Empress and his pet horse in the 40 vehicle chariot cage.
So that's that's great news.
1-800-282-2882, as we keep you up to speed on all the news from the Imperial vacation.
Uh as I always say, every Boxing Day, when uh Obama is on vacation in Hawaii, Obama's uh vacation in Hawaii costs more than flying the entire royal family around the planet for a year.
And uh liberals uh case he's just pulling those numbers.
Well, call up, call up.
If you're a liberal and you don't believe those numbers, I got the hardcore numbers from the keeper of the privy purse, and I will give them to you.
1-800-282-2882.
If you are a liberal and you dispute uh the uh the costs, the comparative costs of flying the citizen executive of a self-governing republic to Hawaii versus uh the cost of flying the royal family around the world for the entire year.
Give me a call and I will uh run down the numbers with you.
But before he left this and this makes the same point, really.
This is a story from the Washington Post about Obama signing up uh for health care in the DC exchange.
We all saw this, it was a few days ago that he he he basically pretended to sign up.
He doesn't need to sign he's covered by his employer, which is you.
Uh we pay for his health care coverage, but nevertheless, he decided to stage a photo op of himself enrolling.
Th the the bit about this that I found fascinating is that um the the a an official he went to the DC Exchange, because he's resident within the District of Columbia.
So he went to the DC exchange.
But because of quote, the complicated nature of the President's case, unquote, he had to do an in-person sign-up.
Now, did you know about this, by the way, the complicated nature of the president's case?
I'll be very interested to hear, again, anyone who's tried to sign up for Obamacare and they were told on the website or uh via uh the 1800 number or the fax machine or Pony Express uh or messenger pigeon or whatever other way they've been trying to get through to uh Obamacare, healthcare.gov.
If anyone has been told that if you've got a complicated case, you require an in-person sign-up.
That's what the president said, according to this official.
Quote, as you'd expect, the president's personal information is not readily available in the variety of government databases, healthcare dot goves to verify identities, right?
This is the president.
You would think if anyone were in a government database, it would be the head of state.
Uh but apparently they couldn't verify use it.
They could verify if if if you're Mary Joe who works at the diner and you try to enroll at healthcare.gov, they can instantly verify your identity by checking the databases.
But apparently, if you're the president of the United States and your resident is residence is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, there's no way for them to verify that in the database.
Uh that's according to the official explanation here.
I don't know how this happens.
Maybe they went to look for his birth certificate or something, and mysteriously the file was empty.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Anyway, uh so because of that, the president was required to go down to the DC Exchange office and sign up in person.
Except, of course, he didn't.
He sent someone else.
He sent a member of his staff, uh, which means a member of your staff, i.e.
a federal employee that you and I pay for, to go down and stand in line and enroll for him.
This is so in other words, even this pseudo-enrollment, he couldn't even go through the pseudo-photo op himself.
He sent he sent a stuntman uh to go and do and perform the stunt of him enrolling in his own health care plan and his own health care plan office.
I didn't even know you can do that.
I didn't know that you could uh uh just uh send, if you're if you're like a Hollywood big shot and you're uh your big Hollywood liberal donor to Obama, if you're like Barbara Streisand and you want to demonstrate your support for Obamacare by enrolling in Obamacare, that you can send your pool boy down to the office to enroll for you.
Barbara Streisand, you don't Barbara doesn't have to go to the uh the big enrollment office and be seen standing there in line herself with all the other losers.
She can send her pool boy down uh down there to do it.
If the Sultan of Brunei uh happens to be uh visiting in the United States, uh I think he owns a stud or something here, and he's come to look in his racehorses and he thinks, well, what a great health care system they have here.
I think I'll go down and he doesn't have to the Sultan of Brunei doesn't have to go down and stand in line.
He can send his eunuch to go and stand in line for him.
If uh if the Downton Abbey guys are are uh uh flying into America for pledge drive week on PBS and they decide to enroll in Obamacare, they don't have you you don't have to have your Duke and Duchess and your lords and ladies going down.
You can just send the uh the stable boy down to enroll for you.
And is this how it works?
I didn't know this.
Or is this just the president who is allowed to use a stunt man stand-in when he's required to go and do an in-person sign-up uh for Obamacare?
And it's and it's it's fascinating uh to me that even the the this president uh is so detached from it all uh that even the normal you think of election day, you see the candidate going and standing in the polling booth, polling station like everybody else.
He has to go to the high school gym, uh or wherever the vote is held in his particular precinct and be shown to be voting like an ordinary citizen.
In this case, Obama the the uh the burdens Obama imposes on the citizenry, he is not bound by himself.
You may have to go there and do an in-person sign-in, but when he's required to do an in-person sign-in, he's allowed just to dispatch some minion uh who goes and signs in uh uh and does the in-person sign-up for himself.
And it gets that gets actually to the heart of the question before Americans uh at this time in this republic's history, is the ruling class bound by the laws it imposes on you?
Because if it's not, it's not any kind of republic, except for the banana kind.
If the President of the United States is not bound by the rules that he imposes on you, if he finds it too burdensome to go down to the Obamacare sign-in office to sign in for himself, uh why why does he get a pass?
Why why if it's b if it's burdensome for him because it takes time from his golf game or packing for his a Hawaiian vacation?
Why is it not equally burdensome for the guy who owns a hardware store?
Why is it not equally burdensome for the accountant in the small town?
Why is it not equally unburdensome for every other citizen?
Why does he get a pass?
Uh that's a Magna Carta thing, by the way.
Magna Carta, the basic thing about Magna Carta, twelve fifteen.
Twelve fifteen in a in uh in a meadow at Runnymede.
Uh the king's in the meadow.
When a king is in a meadow, that's not a good sign for a king.
The king's in a meadow because the barons have got him forced into a corner to sign a document saying in the end, even a king is bound by the law.
In this case, Obama has passed his own law called Obamacare, and he's uh he's saying, uh, I dunno I don't have to be bound by it.
I don't have to go down and send there.
I can send the court eunuch down there to sign in for it on my behalf.
That's the world we live in, folks.
1800-282-2882 Boxing Day at the Rush Limbaugh Show.
And if you got any terrific Boxing Day recipes, as I know people do, we'll take uh your calls and your favorite Boxing Day recipes uh in the uh in the third hour.
1-800-282-2882 on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Mark Stein in for us on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Happy uh happy Boxing Day uh to you, or as I believe it's known in the United States, Thursday, Thursday.
Mark Belling will be here for us tomorrow, Friday.
Uh San Francisco from the Associated Press, a new law that spells out the rights of transgender students in kindergarten through twelfth grade is said to take effect in California on January the first.
To get ready, school districts are reviewing locker room layouts, scheduling sensitivity training for staff, and reconsidering senior portrait dress codes.
This is for the uh uh transgendered grade schoolers in uh in California.
Uh transgendered kindergarteners.
I I'm I don't know how many uh transgendered kindergartners there are even in California.
It's probably wise to assume.
I think it would probably be easiest to assume that in every kindergartner in California is transgendered and act accordingly.
But apparently they're gonna have to be reconfiguring every single bathroom.
By the way, this is this is so many of this this is the formerly golden state that the productive class is fleeing because of the burden of holding up uh the uh everybody else in California, which includes the union class, the uh the the state employee class, uh the permanent dependency class, the illegal uh immigrant class that have overwhelmed uh the uh hospitals system in California.
So anyone who's not a member of those groups is fleeing the state.
Uh but the state is addressing the burning issues, confronting California today, uh, the issue of transgendered kindergartners, uh, which basically allows anybody I would have loved this when I was at school to identify which bathroom uh that you would like to use.
Um it will mean uh at some point, at some point, uh uh the uh the the schoolgirls of California will uh will eventually be provoked into objecting to this, because what what it what will it mean is that uh essentially uh guys with the uh uh people who identify as female,
even though they still have the old uh wedding tackle, the old meat and two veg, the old twig and berries, as uh Austin Powers would say, uh, will be allowed to choose which bathroom they use.
There was a case about this, there was a case about this up in uh up in Ontario at a health club when I had my difficulties with the human rights commissions up there.
And when I had my difficulty with the hum Ontario Human Rights Commission, uh I was a right-wing man, and I can well see where when you're the social engineers and thought control uh freaks of the Human Rights Commission in Ontario that nailing my scalp uh to the mast would be a point of pride, and I can well see why they'd choose to go after me.
That's great fun.
That's terrific fun.
But most of the people who get caught up in that racket are actually innocent types and often actually impeccable liberal types.
This guy who ran a uh sports club in St. Catharines, Ontario, and a lady comes into the room and uh and she says she wants to sign up for the club, and uh as she's filling out the form and he's about to take her membership fee, uh she says, I I uh hope it'll be okay for you me to use the ladies' locker room uh because I'm a pre-op transgendered and uh uh transsexual.
And she says, and he says, Does pre-op mean what I think it means?
I. And she says, yes, that is.
And he and he says, I don't know whether the ladies in my club would be comfortable about that.
So she immediately takes him to the Ontario uh human rights commission, and that guy spends a four- Now this guy isn't as I said, he's not like a right-wing nut like me.
He's not an ideological person.
He gives to all the LGBT charities.
Uh he uh sponsors afloat in the gay pride parade, and his business is still ruined because the poor guy has to choose between two liberal identity groups, because he's got the feminists who who uh don't uh want uh somebody in the shower uh swinging around in there, if you know what I mean.
And then he's got the LGBT crowd who say that what matters is not what body parts you have, but how you choose to identify.
And that guy's life wound up getting ruined over this thing.
I believe the club uh I think the health club wound up closing.
Uh and she eventually moved away to Ottawa and uh had the big snip and uh and eventually dropped the suit, but not before he'd uh uh piled up huge amounts of legal bills.
Uh and and so and so basically that principle is now being enshrined in every single school.
Now you look at uh the school's edit, they're gonna schedule more sensitivity training for staff.
So in other words, you're gonna have staff uh whose uh uh skills at teaching math, whose skills are teaching science, whose skills at uh teaching English, uh whose skills are teaching history are abysmal and account for the mediocre scores of these schools, but they will have sensitivity training to know how to resolve issues uh when the shy fat girl is a bit embarrassed at having to ta be in the locker room and change her clothes with a uh transgendered student who's
actually got uh still got male body parts but identifies as female.
And this is this is California's.
This is California's public school system, and we wonder why.
We wonder why.
And this this is the big problem with the Republican Party and the broader conservative movement, is it's not enough to ask people to to put an R to check the box with an R in it every two years in November on a Tuesday morning in November.
If on the other 364 days of the year, the culture is pushing you into a corner.
What do you think?
What do you think?
You think Pajama Boy?
What do you mean people making jokes about pajama boy?
What do you think of a world in which transgendered kindergartners account for the reconfiguration of every California school bathroom?
What do you think uh the products of that school system are gonna be like in 20 years' time?
Hey, great to be uh with you on the Excellence and Broadcasting Network.
Mark Belling will be here tomorrow.
Rush returns in the new year.
Don't forget that you can go to Rushlimbore.com.
And it's like Rush hasn't gone anywhere, because if you're a Rush 24-7 subscriber, you get Rush in whatever format you want him when you want him, uh entirely at your convenience.
And you can laugh and scoff in the face of guest hosts, because you'll have you'll have Rush uh basically curled up in your computer, waiting to do your bidding twenty-four hours a day.
If you're a Rush 24-7 subscriber, Rush will return in the new year.
Uh uh December 25th, this is really one of the saddest stories.
A U.S. government contractor kidnapped by Al Qaeda militants in Pakistan in 2011 has recorded a video message calling on the Obama administration to negotiate with his captors, saying he feels, quote, totally abandoned and forgotten.
Warren Weinstein looked ashen and sounded lethargic as he pleaded for renewed interest in his case and asked the the US government to consider releasing Al Qaeda militants in its custody.
The 72-year-old development expert, development expert from Rockville, Maryland, began his address by urging President Obama to step up efforts uh to get him released.
Um this this guy says he feels uh quote totally abandoned and forgotten.
Uh that's because he is uh totally abandoned and forgotten.
Uh this is Obama is the there's a heartlessness about Obama that was reflected uh on the night of Benghazi when he took off and went to his big uh campaign event in Vegas.
Uh and by all accounts, and this is why they're being uh so uh vague about letting us have the actual record of what happened that night, he wasn't even sufficiently interested in the fate of his good friend Chris, Ambassador Stevens, as uh uh as he is more formally known, but his good friend Chris, Chris this, Chris that, Chris this, Chris that, as he said over the guy's body uh when they returned him uh what was left of him to Andrew's Air Force Base.
He wasn't that interested in the fate of Chris, uh nor was uh Secretary Clinton to inquire about them.
So this guy, uh in a Christmas Day video, not sounding good, this guy is seventy-two years old, development expert, development expert from Rockville, Maryland, a tourist in the heart of darkness, kidnapped by Al-Qaeda militants while working for the government of the United States.
And that the the thing about this here is where's the pressure?
Where's the pressure from if the if the if the US government doesn't want to actually go in and get this guy himself?
Where's the pressure on the government of Pakistan, right?
This government is Yeah, well it's the Mr. Snadley says they're pressuring they're using pressure on the guy in Cuba.
They don't use any pressure on anything.
They use they're not using pressure on the guy in Iran.
They're not using pressure on the guy who got bin Laden for them, the Pakistani doctor who who who who courageously let the United States government know where bin Laden was, know the house he was in, and is now sitting in a jail in Islamabad or Lahore or wherever it is.
Uh They the government that's that's not even Al Qaeda that's holding him.
That's the government of our ally, our friend, uh Pakistan, this guy, Prime Minister Sharif is a most corrupt guy uh even by the sands of Pakistani politics, and he and his family all live together in this sort of Pakistani version of South Fork, where he and his duplicitous brothers and uh and and uh uncles and all the rest of it live in this kind of compound.
Uh the the United States government cannot even get the doctor who fingered bin Laden.
You know, uh Musharif, by the way, General Musharif, uh September the evening of September the eleventh, Colin Powell, no, nobody's idea of a tough guy uh uh uh or a right wing hawk or cowboy diplomat or whatever, calls up General Musharif and says, You we don't get to uh go into Afghanistan using Pakistan.
Pakistan is over.
You can kiss your country goodbye.
Uh his de his deputy, uh uh Sharif's uh Colin Powell's deputy, that guy with the gravelly voice, uh who leaked the who uh who uh leaked the Valerie Plame stuff, whatever that guy was.
He's another big big squishy centrist moderate guy.
Colin Powell, two-time Obama voter, tells uh tells General Musharraf, you're gonna lose your country unless you do what we tell you to do.
And Musharraf, uh, as he writes in his autobiography, said, Wow, you know, I'd never I'd never heard the United States talking tough like that before.
So I realized, you know, that if I didn't want bombs dropping on me, I was gonna have to General Musharif is now in jail.
Richard Armitage, that's the guy.
The gravelly voice deputy to Colin Powell.
Uh and uh and he's laying it down to he calls General Musharif, and General Musharif says, Oh, I'm washing my hair, I can't take the call.
And uh whoever's on the phone says, You better take this call, General.
The Americans sound like they're hopping mad.
Uh and they he basically says to him, we don't get to do what we like in Pakistan uh while we're going in to topple the Taliban and Pakistan is history.
You can forget about it.
It's gone, it's over.
And General Musharif goes, Whoa, I've never heard the Americans talk like that before.
They're normally so nice.
Uh and he does what they want him to do.
General Musharif is now on trial in Pakistan.
What does this teach the world?
The doctor who fingers bin Laden is sitting and rotten in a jail.
Uh the guy who was kidnapped by Al Qaeda militants is bleating on a video that Obama has abandoned him.
General Musharif, General Musharif, who uh who uh lived, you know, Bush said you're either with us or you're with the terrorists.
Uh General Musharaf, that was a bit of a problem for General Musharif.
He was with us, virtually his entire country is with the terrorists.
That's just the way it is.
That's just that's just the way yeah, exactly.
Hosni Mubarak.
Uh Hosni Mubarak.
What you teach what that teaches the world is that you're a sap if you're an American ally.
That if you're an American ally, uh like Musharif, uh you'll end up in jail awaiting trial for treason.
Uh if you help out the Americans by fingering bin Laden, the number one guy on the planet, the one that they're all sitting in the situation room uh with uh with uh Hillary Clinton with uh the hands over her mouth in shock and horror.
A seal team six go in the earth.
The person who gave the street address to seal team six is languishing in a Pakistani jail.
Uh because it's more important for Obama to get his sound bite, you know, whatever it is, uh what was it?
Bin Laden's bin Laden's dead and General Motors is alive.
Once he's got the soundbite, he doesn't care about the Pakistani.
You're teaching the world that it's a s you're a sap to be an American ally, and that's a very dangerous that's what what difference does it Wait Mr. Sadley wants to know what difference does it make now?
Yeah, that's the Obama attitude.
Yeah, we got Bin Laden.
I got no interest in him.
Uh sorry to hear about this doctor, but I'm on the beach in Hawaii, so tough.
So tough.
We'll have to uh we'll have to do something uh something else some other time.
You're teaching the world a dangerous lesson that you're a fool, you're a sap if you become you're a sucker uh the that who'll get screwed over if you become an American ally or if you help the Americans.
And that's a a dangerous dangerous uh uh lesson uh lesson to teach.
I'm sorry, by the way, uh Mr. Snoddy, who was it?
Was it John who wanted uh to uh who wanted to call up and argue with me about uh yes the president was too busy to go and sign in.
Yeah, John from New York.
And and he wimped out and he and he decided to go away, which is which is a problem.
Because I'd love to talk to a guy like John about why he thinks the president can pass a law that John has to follow, but that the president himself doesn't have to follow.
And John's line was that the president is way too busy.
He's not like the guy who runs a hardware store.
No, sorry.
The only difference between uh between Barack the President and Bud the hardware store owner is Barack the President has thousands and thousands and thousands of a vast federal bureaucracy to keep an eye on things while he has to go downtown and uh and check out uh and check in in person at the Obamacare sign-up desk.
Uh the the uh the guy running the hardware store ha has far fewer uh uh warm bodies at his disposal in that.
And there's something wrong, by the way, John.
I'm sorry you wimped out and hung up and sculpted away, because there's something wrong when you don't get that.
This guy is not the king.
You wasted your time with your revolution.
Uh i i there's no point getting George the Third to get in a guy who who uh passes a law you have to obey and you have to be bound by and you have to follow all the regulations of, but he doesn't.
He doesn't.
And it's sorry and and there's something wrong when even liberals don't like that.
They would have laughed their heads off at George W. Bush sending uh some stand-in.
You know, they would say, hey, hey, the dummy has to send uh has to send a uh dummy in to stand in for him.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Obama couldn't even play himself in his own photo op.
Mark Stein in for Rush will take your calls straight ahead on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Mark Stein in for us on the EIB network.
Honored to be behind the uh golden EIB microphone uh this Boxing Day.
You know, uh other other times of year they get these these um uh um American guest hosts in, but uh this show is so culturally sensitive uh that it uh it it it it gets an appropriate foreign guest host in for Boxing Day or St. Stephen.
Yeah, yeah.
Uh uh and I'm happy to say, yeah, they've just introduced uh separate bathrooms for those of us who self-identify as foreign here at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
And um and uh it's it's uh box boxing st St Stephen's Day in by the way, if you're anyone if uh I any any Irish lads and lasses are listening, it's St. Stephen's Day uh in Southern Ireland, Boxing Day in Northern Ireland.
Good King Wencis last looked out on the feast of Stephen as the snow lay roundabout deep and crisp and even.
And these that's a good lesson in these troubling times for the state of the republic.
Don't get mad, get deep and crisp and even.
That's good advice.
Let us go to Joe in Hartford, Ohio.
Joe, you're live on the Rush Slimbour show.
Great to have you with me.
Hey, hey, good to talk with you, Joe.
Hi, Joe.
You see are you there that are you there, Joe?
Thank you.
Yes.
Let's go to Rich, because sounds like Joe's having a few problems there.
Let's go to Rich.
I am here.
You are overly emphatic.
Joe was underemphatic.
Oh, yeah.
You are you are now being overemphatic.
You've got to be you've you've you've got to be within a narrow penumbra.
Otherwise, I'm gonna have the IRS audit you for being overly emphatic, Rich.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Hang on.
Okay, okay.
I got my bottle of Valium.
All right.
But Mark, I'd like to point out a common Democrat tactic of lying so matter-of-factly.
When when they say something as if it's a gibbon uh uh when it's completely untrue.
Um and here's a talking point I've been hearing over and over and over by the Democrats.
Here's what they say with regard to Obamacare.
You just have to give it a chance.
It Takes time like any other successful governmental program.
Right.
Look at Medicare and Social Security.
Hang on a minute.
Is that what you call successful?
The two largest governmentally created entitlement burdens.
That's right.
That's successful.
What they mean by that is that's successful in in Democrat terms.
In other words, it may drive the country off the cliff and into the abyss a decade or two down the line, but for the moment, uh it worked.
Uh what what I find th the other interesting one they keep coming up with is uh Bush's prescription drug thing, uh Medicare Plan D or whatever it part D or whatever it's called.
And uh whatever one of these ones you take, Rich, they're actually wrong when they say, Oh, they had a few glitches when they were.
If you go back to the launch of social security or Medicare, whatever one thinks of them, or uh the prescription drug thing, it wasn't week in, week out, the biggest story in the news, uh, that mi uh that nobody can get through to the office, that everybody's previous arrangements were being cancelled, uh, that people who who thought they'd paid up and were part of the system hadn't paid up in part.
There wasn't day in, day out new developments in breaking chaos.
Uh if you go back and you you look at the front pages in the sixties when they introduced Medicare or in the mid-thirties when they introduced Social Security, there was there this is a uniquely inept, disastrous, absolutely fiasco Platinum level fiasco uh that uh that Obama has uh imposed on the nation, Rich.
Lose money.
It it seems like that doesn't seem to be a standard um of success by the Democrats uh measuring stick.
You see, I mean, you you name Ed and you know, throw in the postal service with that, throw in I mean, i it seems that people haven't learned a basic fundamental that just about everything the government runs loses money.
But you know, but you know, Rich, it's if if if you set up something that loses money, you're losing your money.
Obama doesn't Obama doesn't care about that.
Uh the the it's not his money that Obamacare loses.
Uh and and in a sense, uh as he to the but by the this is how the Democrats think.
It's not real money that they're losing.
When you talk to people like uh Paul Krugman, the economics guy at the New York Times, they're saying, well, yes, of course, technically it's seventeen trillion dollars in debt, but nobody really thinks that's real money that has to be paid back to real people.
They they don't even think of it as losing money.
They just think of it as uh, you know, spending monopoly money.
That if you run out of all the monopoly money in your monopoly box, uh you can go to the store and uh pay uh four bucks ninety five and get a whole d f new full bank full of monopoly money.
They don't think of it as real money, Rich.
When when your leadership, Nancy Pelosi says that unemployment insurance is our best bank for the buck.
These people need to go back and take economics one on one.
I mean, it it just blows my mind the stuff that comes out of these people's mouths.
Well, well, no, they look at it this way, that when you say unemployment insurance, they think food stamps stimulate the economy.
So that the more fo people you have on food stamps, uh the more the economy gets stimulated.
So eventually if there's enough people on food stamps, the economy will be booming.
And that's why they're pitching food.
That's why the United States government is advertising food stamps to foreigners in Mexico.
Because it's saying because eventually, if we put all seven billion people on the planet on US food stamps, we would have a gangbuster's economy.
That's how that's economics one oh one uh in the Obama administration.
Mark Stein and Farush, lots more still ahead.
Mark Stein in for us on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
I mentioned that uh every single bathroom in the California school system is going to be reconfigured now for the new law uh addressing the needs of transgendered kindergarteners in California.
A Texas man, San Antonio, has been arrested after installing a hidden bathroom camera at his work.
Unfortunately, in setting it up, he also recorded himself, it also recorded him where with his name tag setting up the hidden camera.
Ray de la Cruz, this is, 44, uh, uh, and set up a camera in the bathroom at his work in San Antonio.
You won't need to do this now in the California school system.
All you have to do is decide for yourself, if you're so minded, that you identify as a girl and therefore that you would like to use the girls' bathroom and uh the girls' locker room and all the rest of it.
But in San Antonio, they're still d having to do things the uh old-fashioned way by setting up hidden bathroom cameras.
