Time Text
Yes, happy boxing day to you, or as it's known in America Thursday.
Uh Rush is away, and he will return in the new year.
Mark Belling will be here for three hours of authentic all American excellence in broadcasting starting tomorrow to round out the week for Friday.
But for the moment this is your undocumented anchor man, Mark Stein, honored to be here, no supporting paperwork whatsoever, but always a thrill to be here on Boxing Day.
I think I think I've got the deal.
I can't I haven't checked the paperwork, but I think I've got the deal now where I only work uh foreign holidays on the guest hosting shift, so I'll probably see you again on Victoria Day.
Um but Boxing Boxing Day it is, and usually by this stage of the show, Mr. Snerdley, who also draws the short straw and works Boxing Day every year, uh has asked me why do they call it Boxing Day anyway?
Uh but for some reason, I think this is like the seventh or eighth or twelfth or fifteenth time I've done the Boxing Day show.
He didn't do it this year.
Uh but Boxing Day actually is the day you give boxes of small gifts uh to your servants and local tradesmen.
This is how the uh tradition origin originated in medieval times.
So it's it's a po it's appropriate to make a if not if not a a gift, then a small cash donation uh to some some humble tradesman.
I I I, for example, I gave a ten shilling note uh to my Obamacare navigator because uh he's an awfully decent fellow.
He's been trying for three months to enroll me, assist me in enrolling for Obamacare, and not his fault that it's not perhaps as speedy as it might be.
So I thought I'd do the decent thing and tip him ten shillings for Boxing Day anyway.
That's that's the that's the spirit of Boxing Day.
And and well Mike and Mr. Snerdley are protesting that they're humble tradesmen too, and they should be entitled to a Boxing Day gift, even though Mike has already had his bobblehead of Ron Burgundy left mysteriously on his doorstep on Christmas Eve, wrapped in swaddling clothes.
Uh so he's already had his Boxing Day gift.
I'm not gonna be getting Mike uh Mike anything else.
We were talking about uh been talking about free speech and this business of tiptoeing on Well the fascinating thing about all this tiptoeing on eggshells is that you can just be generally abusive about all kinds of things that aren't worth getting abusive over.
Uh among the changes that are being made, YouTube is uh which is owned by Google, um has long been home, according to the Associated Press, Barbara Autate, the AP technology writer.
YouTube has long been home to some of the internet's most juvenile and grammatically incorrect comments.
The site caused the stir last month when it began requiring people to log into Google Plus to write a comment.
Uh and it's true.
If you ever go to YouTube, I was I was looking up some Christmas stuff about a week before uh the big day, last week sometime, and it's amazing.
If you go to like uh some YouTube footage of Johnny Mathis singing Winter Wonderland, the viciousness of the comments underneath it are like uh extraordinary.
This sucks.
This guy's no good Come here to Andy Williams, this guy somebody should kick you know, it's uh it's amazing to me.
It's like you look at the Andy Williams Johnny Mathis showdown, maybe throw in Steve and Edie, Donnie and Marie in there.
It's like the comments on the the comments on the easy listening clips they have on YouTube are like the most vicious thing I've ever seen.
So I kind of uh I kind of am not unsympathetic to YouTube requiring that people uh emerge from the shadows a little, and if they're going to grossly abuse Andy Williams, they should at least uh put their name to it.
But it's a it's it's it's the way things are going now, like nothing little things, like Andy Williams singing it's the most wonderful time of the year.
You can pile on and be as abusive as you want about that.
But if it's anything serious that you want to talk about, then the uh civility police uh suddenly start patrolling every little nuance of what you of what you say.
Uh and I I said I don't want to live in a world where we tiptoe around on eggshells thinner and thinner and thinner.
But but here's the point as well.
You know, if you are not ready to defend speech that you find offensive, uh and if you're not ready to allow people to say things that you find offensive, then you're a totalitarian.
And it doesn't matter how nice a totalitarian you are, whether you're a liberal totalitarian, whether you're a gay totalitarian, whether you're a lesbian totalitarian, you're still a totalitarian, and that is the defining feature uh of you.
And uh at some point it is gonna be I mean uh one reason why I mentioned that Steve Martin joke.
It was a lame joke.
It was uh it was a nothing joke.
And I don't see why anyone would be offended by it.
Uh he was making a joke uh the premise of which it confused a common Italian pasta dish with the uh with with the names of young African American girls.
So Steve Martin had to delete the tweet, respond to a barrage of uh tweets uh suggesting he was a racist by saying, My bad, my apologies and all the rest of it.
You're a comedian.
All the time, all the time, we've been told comedians are supposed to be edgy and transgressive.
They're supposed to push the envelope and all the rest of it.
Um I never live I never ever thought much about uh comedy until after my trial up in uh Vancouver.
Uh one day, they devoted one day of the trial, the best part of one day to discussing the tone of my jokes, which would normally just be the province of, you know, the literary review of Canada or whatever, but they flew in an expert witness from Philadelphia and another guy from Toronto to discuss the tone of my jokes.
And I thought this was nuts, but after my case, uh this uh this ridiculous uh court in Vancouver double down, and they uh and they uh fined a comedian fifteen thousand dollars for a put down.
He put down his audio, you know, he did a he did sort of Don Rickle's put down, you know, that's what that's what your comedian does when there's some guy who shouts something out from the audience, you deliver the withering put down.
But he was felt, this comedian it was felt he had put down uh these lesbian hecklers homophobically.
So he was fined fifteen thousand dollars for putting down lesbian hecklers homophobically.
And ever since then I've noticed that uh so-called edgy transgressive comedians are the most craven and conformist.
There has never been lamer comedy uh than the than the comedy we sit through now, where whenever anything is uh presented as trend edgy and transgressive, you can bet that they're actually just peddling the conventional wisdom of anything you care to mention.
So that Steve Martin, for the sake of his own profession, which is dying before his eyes, when Steve Martin is accused of uh making uh a racist tweet because of the uh sounder-like quality between a common Italian pasta dish and a uh and and uh something that might be an African American girl's name, he should just say lighten up, clear off, get a life loser.
If you got nothing to comment if you got nothing in in Uganda, uh they passed the law saying they're gonna jail uh homosexuals for life.
Right?
That's real, by the way.
That's that's real.
That if you're if you're caught uh if you're caught uh uh un performing a homosexual act, you will go to jail for life.
But let's argue about what Phil Robertson says.
Around the world uh uh uh uh around the world, girls are being honor killed because they they uh bec twelve-year-old girls are being uh honor killed because they don't want to marry them their middle-aged cousin in the next village.
Uh they're being forced to undergo clitoridectomies.
Among Muslim popul if you don't know what a clitoridectomy is, be grateful I don't explain it to you at great length over the airwaves.
Uh half the doctors in London, England report uh that they have seen girls from a certain immigrant group that it would be culturally insensitive to mention, who have undergone female genital mutilation.
Uh but people want to think that it's Mitt Romney who's guilty of the war on women, uh, because he's got he says in a casual aside uh he uh he asked his subordinates to bring him binders full of full of women.
Uh There's real things going out there that if you were really concerned about homophobia or uh women's rights or racism or any of these other things.
There's stuff you just have to raise your eyes from your own stupid navel and all across the planet.
There's all kinds of things that would be worth you getting mad about.
But destroying some guy's life for one little aside is not is is not only is it not worth the time, it's it's the sign of tyranny.
I don't want to live in I don't want to live in a world where an impeccably liberal woman loses her job for a tweet.
Uh like this Justin Sago did.
She's she's not a a right wing nut like me.
She's impeccably liberal.
She has lived in the liberal bubble all her life.
She it lives by liberalism.
Everything about her is liberal.
And yet suddenly one little ill-advised tweet, and she belongs in the same reviled category as me and Rush and Phil Robertson and everybody else.
Uh even liberals can't live up to this hideous totalitarian uh f self-appointed hate finders general, just prowling prowling the internet uh for one little ill-advice sound bite that they can use to destroy your life.
And in that respect, it's one of the biggest stories out there.
Uh it's one because free speech is essential to any free society.
The more you tell people, you know, in Saudi Arabia, you can't say you can't say nothing.
Some blogger is to be executed uh because he was deemed to have posted something on a website that is apostate.
These are our friends the Saudis.
These are the one this is the king uh that President Obama bowed to.
This is King Abdallah.
In King Abdullah's Saudi Arabia, this blogger has been sentenced to death for an apostate uh web posting.
In other words, something that is seen to be critical of uh of Islam.
Because that's uh that's what happens in a world where you can't say anything, uh that's why they periodically have these things where people blow up buildings in Saudi Arabia.
Because when you can't say anything, when they take when they say you can't say that and you can't say that and you can't say that and you can't say that, then as in Saudi Arabia and all these other third world basket case states, all you're left to do to express yourself is blow stuff up.
Uh it's simply not becoming to a free society uh to have these uh self-appointed identity group commissars telling you what you're allowed to think.
Mark Stein for Rush, 1800-282-2882.
Hey, Mark Stein, in for Rush on the EIB network.
Let's go to Debbie in Kansas City, Missouri.
Debbie, uh great to have you with us on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Hi, I'm so excited to talk to you.
I've been listening to Rush for twenty years, and you are my all-time favorite substitute host.
That's very it's an honor to be in with you.
That's very kind that's very kind of you to say so, Debbie.
And uh I'm um uh um I'm always honored uh as a foreigner and an immigrant to this country.
Uh well, it always makes me happy when I hear your accent, and I know that you're gonna be the one that I get to listen to for three hours.
Thanks, thanks very much.
Unfortunately, though, today I have to call in because I'm a little upset with uh some of the things that you have said this show.
And um it it's because we are a conservative Christian family, and we have a transgender child.
And it does happen even to families like ours.
Um it's something we really didn't even believe existed until our child started telling us that her body did not match the way she saw herself.
Um and all the jokes about you know, kids in California and equating with someone like my child who just needs to go into the bathroom to go pee with um a perverted criminal in San Antonio um is upsetting.
And it it No, no, let just just be clear on let me just be clear on that, Debbie.
Um, because uh it's it's true that for many people uh they can't they they're never they hear about this as you say, your family had no real idea this was out there and this could happen to them.
And it's uh when it does when it does happen, it does impose as you say, your child just wants to go into a bathroom and pee.
the comparison I made was this that if you do what the state of California does and that is has basically said you can uh now identify which bathroom you want to use in in uh go into.
I was comparing the guy in San Antonio with some like jock on the football team who decides that he he's just going to identify as female just uh for uh just for fun this this week or whatever.
I mean I understand I understand how how old is your child by the way?
My child is six and all of this started at the age of three, which is really pretty common because that's when kids are starting to understand we've been pointing out boys and girls, moms and dads and they're starting to understand gender.
Okay, well I'll I'll I'll say I'll uh and let me let me just go a bit further because I had I years uh years ago years ago back in London uh I I had a friend I had a I was I passed my entire uh childhood without coming across this phenomenon and then uh in London in the eighties uh a uh uh uh friend of mine who's a singer was uh was a uh uh transsexual as people said then I gather transgender is the phrase there and
I'm and I w uh wound up meeting uh at one point uh one of the bond girls I think it was in for your eyes only who who was a transgendered person and all the rest of it.
And uh and I'm and I'm uh fine with that.
I'm fine with that.
I've become more I've become more concerned and I don't really care.
I mean I think again it's uh it uh it when a person is uh is an adult how they want how they choose to identify and all the rest of it is is up to them and how far they want to go uh in terms of having operations and hormones and all the rest of it again is up to them.
It's a difficult it's a difficult business when it is happening to a minor and I am and I and I am d your your child is basically in grade one, grade two, right?
Right now and I find I'm I must say I I've I find that a a slightly worrying trend in part because of uh court decisions.
I'm not sure there've been any here but there have been court decisions in Australia for example mandating uh mandating uh sex changes uh and surgery mandating surgery uh for people as old as eleven, often against the wishes of their parents.
And the lesson I'm I I've never heard of any kind of surgical inven intervention that young.
Usually the only thing that happens is they have hormone blockers to prevent puberty so that secondary characteristics like a lowering of the voice or development of breath don't happen and traumatized the child.
Right I would be surprised if that happened.
No I I may be wrong on on the surgery thing.
But the Australian case which is a few years ago was was I if my memory is correct on this, as young as eleven years old.
And I think that is I think you do move into a grayer area here.
And just as and I and again you you are in a situation where you and your child are on the same page about this.
Whereas in the Australian case uh as I understand it, uh the child and at least one of the child's parents were in profound disagreement about the situation.
Um and and the judge essentially the uh imposed the state's solution on the child.
And my problem here with what is going on in California is that uh the it is the state imposed solution.
I think I think there I think it's a very different I think it's a very different business uh when you're dealing with minors and the presumption is that the parent has the the parent has the say over that and I think that's fine for the parent to have the say over that and for the parents to discuss that with the school district.
I am worried in part because of decisions like the court decision in Australia about a state intervention in these affairs, Debbie.
And I guarantee you there are transgender people using restrooms every single day around you and no one is the wiser because you go into the bathroom and you lock the door.
Right.
So the idea that it's going to affect the ninety nine percent of kids who are quote normal or that they're going to be people who are just looking to be peeping Tom in the bathroom is is just an uneducated scare tactic.
Because my kid would be horrified if anyone had any idea what part she had.
No, that's that's uh that's a that's a good that's a good point, Debbie.
And thank you thank you for calling.
Just just to be clear, uh uh I was uh the the issue in uh in the California system is uh is wags taking advantage of it uh for for their own larkiness, and we'll see how that plays out and we'll see how comfortable girls are with it uh as the Rush Limbaugh show continues on the EIB network.
Hey, happy Boxing Day from America's number one radio show.
There no I don't uh I don't believe there are any songs for Boxing Day, um although the twelve days of Christmas is a kind of Boxing Day song because it's about the twelve days between Christmas Day and Epiphany.
So I think in the twelve days of Christmas, this is actually the second day of Christmas.
So it's not what what is it after the partridge in a patriarch?
I can't remember uh on the second day of Christmas, okay.
Two what is it?
Not Lords of Leapin.
Whatever it is.
Two title doves and a party.
Yeah, of course, two total doves.
There's only one thing more boring than uh the twelve days of Christmas, and that's the parody versions of the twelve days of Christmas.
I was uh I d I was uh staggered.
I came across one uh th the other day, uh uh uh uh late on Christmas Eve in some store, some lame must have been funny.
I think it was like topical Christmas gags from Twelve Days of Christmas parody in nineteen sixty three, just absolutely terrible now.
The only thing worse than the real the only thing more boring than the original Twelve Days of Christmas is parody versions of the twelve days of Christmas.
But no songs for Boxing Day other than that.
Uh Mark Belling will be here uh tomorrow and uh who's who's in on uh who's on Monday, Mr. Snerdley?
Oh me, me.
I should read the memo more carefully.
I'm here on Monday, Ad Rush will retard in the new year.
Mark Belling will be here for Open Line Friday tomorrow.
Politico is reporting that Edward Snowden is now taking a higher profile.
Um he's he's basically living in Moscow, but the former NSA contractor is now resurfacing in the media uh saying he's confident his personal mission has been accomplished.
Um he gave a 14-hour interview to the Washington Post.
That's like longer than an Obama speech.
He gave a 14-hour interview to the Washington Post, his first in-person interview since he arrived in Moscow.
Uh he then gave a television address to the people of the United Kingdom that followed Her Majesty the Queen's uh annual Christmas Day uh message to the Commonwealth, which is like the formal thing, and then this edgy transgressive television network, Channel 4 has an alternative Christmas message, which they gave to Edward Snowden to deliver this year.
Um and he called uh modern surveillance more invasive than any envisioned by uh uh n George Orwell.
And uh I got this story from Politico, and Mr. Snerdley had just written on on it.
Why is this guy alive?
question mark.
And you're right, like this is the NSA, he's stolen all the NSA's secrets.
He's done that thing you see in all the thriller movies.
What's the one, the first Mission Impossible, where um uh where where Tom Cruise is lowered on a piece of string into some vault in the Pentagon or wherever it is, and if he moves uh a quarter of an inch in any direction, the whole thing will go.
He didn't have to do any of that.
He didn't have to be lowered down on a piece of string and do the full Tom Cruise.
Edward Snowden just walked out with everything the NSA had to offer.
And Mr. Snerdley says he's now living in Moscow, he's giving 40 now interviews to the Washington Post, and he's uh giving speeches on British television.
Uh Mr. Snerdley writes, why why is he still alive?
Because obviously if they tried to drone him, they'd blow up a shopping mall in Moscow and kill some visiting European Union cultural delegation or whatever.
It wouldn't work out well.
But the but it this is this is what is the the the problem with Edward's the problem with Edward Snowden and the NSA is not that the NSA uh i i is not primarily primarily that the NSA knows everything we're doing uh and it knows all the secrets and knows everybody.
It's that it entrusts them to him, who's some sort of freelance contractor uh who's able to snaffle them all out of the building.
And that's one of the big problems with this money no object security state.
It's ex it's it's basically the NSA version of that ludicrous scene in uh South Africa in Pretoria um or Soweto or whatever it was a couple of weeks ago, uh when uh the United States taxpayer pays a fortune to fly Obama in Air Force One to South Africa.
It pays a fortune for the decoy Air Force One, because um uh you it's not just that the uh president has to have his own white bodied jet, but you have to have a decoy wide bodied jet so that in case they decide to shoot it out of the air, they shoot the wrong one out of the air.
And they have then they have the hundred and twenty car motorcade and they have all the secret service agents with the reflector shades and the telephone wire hanging from their ear and all the Colombian hookers they need to get them through a weekend in South Africa, and you have the full money no object security state with Obama,
uh secures the stadium, delivers him into the stadium, and then stands him on stage eighteen inches away from a guy who's been charged with rape, kidnapping, murder, necklacing two black guys in Soweto, uh and that's it.
That's it.
That's what the money no object uh presidential security detail from the Secret Service gets you.
And likewise, what the money no object national security state at the NSA gets you is they monitor your every single phone call, your every single email, everything you do.
Um the post office now scans uh every the front of every single envelope and uh gives it to the NSA.
The front of every single envelope.
So even it's not just the the computerized ones, even your granny's little quavery handwriting when she sends you the card at Christmas is scanned and sent to the NSA.
And then the NSA, and that's you know, so that's your big money no object security state, and then the security state gives it all to Edward Snowden.
Just as the United States military gave it all to speaking of uh sex changes, uh Bradley Manning, who's now transitioning to a woman in whatever jail he's been sent to, uh private Bradley Manning, uh the this uh confused Welshman who managed to take the Pentagon secrets uh out, uh put them, download them all onto one CD and release them to the world.
And that's the problem that's the problem is that even if it were a good idea, the big brother national security state money no object security state is incompetent, entirely incompetent.
Let us go to Bill in uh can we go to Bill in Fort Riley, Mike?
Uh let's go to Bill in Fort I think we've had Steve, uh, haven't we?
We have Steve in Tucson.
Hi, Bill, you're live Bill from Fort Riley, Bill, you're live on the air.
Great to have you with us.
Thank you.
What's on your mind today?
I'm not making uh a big deal about this.
A lot of people all already probably are well aware of uh this issue.
It's in reference to the the statement you made about uh liberal lady that um kind of made a fool of herself.
Right.
Um I guess she misspelled Kenya or something.
You you were probably joking, but you kept uh referring to the Tea Party as teabaggers.
I mean, um I've been in the military for about seven years now, and the line of work I'm in, it's most uh uh that that I've worked with um in my mind are kind of naive, but I've grown extensively in um learning more about the depravity of man and I was a little shocked at what teabac you really means.
It's just what I heard you describing the Tea Party as that.
I I I was kind of wondering, do you know what that means?
Yeah, I'm don't don't mistake me for doing the what got the this this silly little girl in trouble.
She said, I thought I'd go to the party as a teabagger.
That's her term for it.
That's her term for it.
I well know what it means.
It refers to a sex act which uh is uh of a for the for those of a particular taste.
I know and and and I think the Tea Party they're they're trying to downplay the Liberals calling them that to maybe make a joke of it, but if I if I were to say that, it almost um implies that I'm associating with that.
And so I just want to heard you say that I thought.
I certainly already know what that's.
Well no, that you know, that's the pro that's the problem, Bill, in the world we in the world we live in.
That's what would be called uh when I was uh eleven years old and uh in my English composition class, that would be called indirect quotation.
It was uh it would be understood that even if you didn't put it in quote marks, you were alluding to her own use of the word teabagger.
Anderson Cooper, who's just received some award for GLAD as the Glad Man of the Year or whatever, uh introduced it to national television, I believe, uh, by talking about uh by talking about teabagging on CNN.
The president of the United States used it, by the way, uh, in a letter to uh a fellow called Thomas J. Ritter, who is a fifth grade teacher at the Sally B. Elliott Elementary School in Irving, Texas, uh, basically saying uh th he was he was uh uh the the Mr. Ritter was complaining that any citizen who disagrees with your administration is targeted and ridiculed.
And the president wrote back to him uh wrote back to him personally, got a letter back from the president that I believe he was the auctioned on eBay eventually, but he said um uh he said I do have to challenge you.
This is the president of the United States.
I do have to challenge you on the notion that any citizen that disagrees with me has been targeted and ridiculed, or that I have made fun of teabaggers.
The 44th president of the United States is the first president in history to actually use the word teabagger in in in a letter to one of his fellow citizens.
Uh Chester Arthur never used the word uh tea teabagger.
Uh Franklin Pierce never used the word teabagger.
Martin Van Buren never used the word teabagger.
Calvin Coolidge never used the word teabagger.
But but President Obama wrote the word teabagger in a letter to a fellow American citizen.
And Bill, I know it's offensive to you, but the but this is the point.
This is the point.
They get away with this stuff all the all the all the time.
This guy, Obama basically, can make the argument, oh, I was mocking his use of the word teabagger.
If he'd been uh Cliff uh uh Phil Robertson, if he'd been Phil Robertson, uh if he'd uh been uh anybody on the right, and he'd used a disparaging term ironically or alluded to it or as indirect quotation for the left, uh if he had re used some offensive term, his career would be over.
But the president used the word teabagger and nobody minds.
Because liberals love their insults.
And they don't think that they're they think the rights insults should be criminalized and the left's insults, it's okay if the president of the United States writes it on a White House letterhead.
And that's why there's no point playing their game.
I don't if if Martin Bashir wants to go on national television and expresses kinky urge to defecate in Sarah Palin's mouth, let him.
It's always useful to know what people are really like.
If Anderson Cooper wants to talk about teabagging on CNN and it makes him happy, let him.
Let him.
I don't I'm not so scared of my arguments that I want to ban Alec Baldwin uh or Martin Bashir or uh or or Anderson Cooper for using words.
There are no bad words.
There are no criminal words.
And I would rather have a free-for-all and may the ba I'm confident in my arguments.
If if we have a if we have free speech and we have genuine argument, I can clobber Martin Bashir.
I have no fear of Martin Bashir.
I don't need the to ban Martin Bashir.
I don't need to fire Martin Bashir.
I don't need to fire Alec Baldwin.
I don't need to destroy Anderson Cooper.
I'm not scared of them.
All I want is to be free to say what I want, and they can say what they want and may the best man win.
And we shouldn't be like the left in criminalizing and shutting down and complaining about speech.
If they call you a teabagger, good.
Embrace the term.
Teabag bag at you.
Teabags are go-go.
Run that teabag up the flow uh flagpole and see who salutes it.
The alternative, which is joining the left in saying, you know, you can't say this, and you can't say that, and we've got to ban everything, and we gotta fire everyone, and there'll be nothing on the airwaves except Kim Kardashian.
And who the hell wants that?
Markstein for Rush, more straight ahead.
Mark Stein in for Rush on the EIB net.
Well, let's let's uh let's uh round things out just by uh talking about what we were uh right at the top of the show with the visit uh the the vacation of uh President Obama and his wife and two children to Hawaii.
And the cost of it last year wound up being about seven million dollars.
Seven million dollars.
Uh and I said uh uh for the purposes of comparison, the total bill for flying the entire royal family, queen, princes, dukes, duchesses, the works all around the world for one year uh was actually less than that, four point seven million pounds, which is uh just under the cost of the president's uh Hawaiian vacation.
But in fact, in the last year it's gone down because the cost of the royal family's travel for the year has gone down to three point one million dollars, or about uh 3.1 million pounds, or about four and a half million dollars.
Four and a half million dollars.
You look at the cost of some of this thing.
The the Duke of Edinburgh, the Queen's husband, uh he flew to Germany and back on a chartered flight to present medals to the Royal Engineers at a British military base in Germany.
Total cost about $15,000.
You can't take the President of the United States, the citizen executive of a self-governing republic of freeborn citizens and his 40-car motorcade uh to pretend to visit an ice cream parlor on Martha's Vineyard uh for a tenth of that.
But for fifteen thousand dollars, uh you can fly the royal family to Germany to present medals to a military base.
It's out of control.
The Imperial presidency until he needs a stand-in to actually go and pretend in person to enroll in his Obamacare enrollment plan at the health care office in district in the District of Columbia, as he did a couple of days ago.
So, in other words, he's he's i i i we he can't even uh it's you can't even have the president acting in his own phony baloney photo ops anymore.
Mark Stein for us, more ahead.
CNN reports a new poll showing that Congress is less popular than lice.
Yeah, I uh I found that a bit of a head scratcher, too.
Anyway, Mark Belling, Mark Belling, the great Mark Belling, he will be with you uh tomorrow uh to for open line Friday to round out the week.
I will be back uh for a couple of days next week, and Rush returns in the new year.
But uh it's been uh it's been great having you with us uh today.
I think we I think we covered the uh range.
Stand for free speech.
Don't let them tell you what to say, because in effect it means they're telling you what to think.
Don't let them shrivel your free speech.
It's the core right.
Uh thanks for sticking with me.
Have a great boxing day, and I'll see you the Monday before Hogmoney.
