Time Text
Yes, America's Anchorman is away, and this is your undocumented anchor man sitting in.
No supporting paperwork whatsoever.
Thrilled and honored to be here live at Ice Station EIB, just a stone's throw from the Quebec border here in far northern New Hampshire.
If uh if you're fleeing the country, do swing by and uh and say hello to us.
You can't miss us.
There's a big sign up on the highway saying last rush guest host before the border.
Uh I've had uh I've had uh various emails and tweets and whatnot from people who uh uh said that I mentioned something called I think it was the I think it's is it the North Eastern Republican uh convention or whatever it's called?
Anyway, it's for for all the uh North Eastern Republicans, and apparently that's about seventeen states.
Actually, Governor Bobby Gindle is speaking at it.
Is Louisiana part of the Northeast Republic?
Is that a Northeast Republican state?
That's w what's a Southeast Republican state then, Brazil?
Uh anyway, Northeast Republican uh conference, it's in Nashua uh this Friday and Saturday, and all the gang will be there.
There will be uh Senator Kelly Ayott, my own great senator from here in New Hampshire, uh Governor Gindle, as I mentioned, uh Rick Santorum will be there.
I'll be uh uh Peter King from New York, uh Luis Fortunio from Puerto Rico is Puerto Rico part of the Northeast Republican.
That's that's amazing.
So the Southeast Republican, that's like the Falkland Islands, then okay, down by the I just want to just want to check the map here.
Uh he'll be sp he'll be speaking there, and I will be speaking there.
Uh that's like uh that's like in Nashua, New Hampshire, which from my corner of Northern New Hampshire is like a seven hour drive.
Uh when people say, Why were you speaking in Ottawa rather than a CPAC Dad?
Well, that's Ottawa is like twenty minutes from here, whereas Nashua, New Hampshire is like a seven hour drive.
So uh but uh but I will be I will be there.
And I think I gather it's like a huge thing uh that it's like all the big shot Republican power brokers uh from from uh New Hampshire down to Puerto Rico, apparently.
That's just the North Who know who knows what you wh which of the fifty-seven states make it into the uh Southeastern and Northwestern Republican conferences, but that's this this Friday and Saturday.
And um and uh somebody else, uh Stephen Stephen Hordick tweeted he's listening in New Jersey, and he says that uh the station has the most static on it than he had ever heard.
Uh I think you'll find Stephen, that's actually just my accent.
It may go away at three PM Eastern, so I wouldn't worry about that uh uh to too much at all.
And but by the way, just on this thing that we were talking about with um uh with John before before the break.
Uh the five oh one C three, the five oh one C four.
America, there's a story in the New York Times today, there's not unrelated to the to that.
Uh for non profits, a bigger share of the economy.
The overall economy has been expanding slowly, says Anna Bernisek, uh a business correspondent from the New York Times, but at least one sector is vibrant.
Nonprofits which have been growing at a breakneck pace, from two thousand and one to two thousand and eleven, the number of non profits in the United States grew twenty-five per cent.
Well, the number of for-profit businesses this is the business when we when we were talking uh earlier with uh a listener who owns a carpet cleaning company in uh in Clearwater, Florida.
Uh that's the that's the old dying for profit sector of the US economy.
Th from two thousand one to two thousand eleven, the number of non profits in the United States grew twenty-five per cent, while the number of for profit businesses rose by half of one per cent.
According to the most recent figures compiled by the Urban Institute.
By the way, I have no idea what the Urban Institute is, but I would bet that that is itself a non profit.
Uh th there are still considerably more businesses than non profits, of course, about four times as many, says the New York Times airily.
That in itself is astonishing.
Do you realize that means that that non profits are about twenty percent f now there are now not uh uh uh twenty per cent of the total businesses in the United States are non profits.
That's absolutely astonishing.
I meant I mentioned this when when I was on the show a couple of years ago.
I'd been at a uh Vermont, what we laughably call uh a university in Vermont, a uh an institution of higher education, and every student you talk to in Vermont wants to work for a non profit.
The entire state of Vermont is a huge non profit.
Uh the the United States of America is degenerating into the biggest non profit in history.
Uh but that's that's what uh all the young people want to work for them now, the nonprofits.
Oh, I I'd love to work for I'd like to work.
I think I'd like to work for a nonprofit.
That's where the big bucks are, apart from anything else.
Uh y you look at uh people who make programs for public television, the Sierra Club, all these people, plan pay, and you can live very well working in a nonprofit.
Whereas if you go and start a carpet cleaning business in Clearwater, Florida, you'll be working sem backbreaking hours, backbreaking work seventy-five, eighty hours a week.
Go and work for a non profit.
If only if only you could set up a non-profit carpet cleaning business, it'd probably be hugely lucrative for you.
But the the entire uh we are deforming the economic structure of the United States by incentivizing the move into all kinds of activities away from primary wealth creation, which is what's actually killing the Western world right now is that not enough people do not enough real work for not enough of their lives.
It's n it's no more complicated than that.
But instead, we you know, we go let's oh yes, I'm going and getting a job doing uh doing government outreach at the Sierra Club, uh and uh I'll make a great salary and uh contribute absolutely nothing to the economy.
That's uh a story in the New York Times today.
Also, this is an this is a critical story.
Uh an uskirt ban in Massachusetts has been signed into law.
Do you know about upskirting?
It's apparently this practice where if you get on a train or a bus or whatever, everyone's got telephones, secret spy camera, the sort of thing only James Bond had 40 years ago, now got the secret super spy camera.
So you can use your phone to take photographs of uh of uh ladies whose uh skirts may be a bit indelicately short or whatever, and maybe uh revealing a little more than they intended to.
So there's all kinds of people taking these upskirt photographs on the MBTA, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.
Michael Robertson, 32, was arrested in 2010.
Uh used his cell phone to take pictures and record video up the skirts and dresses of women riding on the trolley.
Clang clang clang went the trolley, and Michael Robertson, for him it was the merry peel of the the most delightful part of it's his day because he took upskirt pictures of women.
And when he was uh arrested by police who staged a decoy operation, they sent these Massachusetts transit cops in short skirts to sit opposite him on the trolley, uh he was arrested and the lower court ruled against him, but he appealed his case all the way to the Massachusetts Supreme Court, and Justice Margot Botsford uh said that uh taking that upskirting ruled that upskirting is constitutional in Massachusetts, apparently.
Uh this was just last week that uh that uh it's uh it's it does not break Massachusetts law uh to take a photograph up the skirt of a young lady.
Uh so this was a landmark decision that uh that upskirting is constitutional in Massachusetts.
Nothing else is, by the way.
Nothing else is constitutional in Massachusetts.
You don't have any gun rights in Massachusetts, you don't have any free speech really in Massachusetts, it's a one-party state, effectively, but upskirting is the one activity that is constitutional in Massachusetts, according to Justice Margot Botsford of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.
So uh so uh at the end of last week, late on Friday, Governor Patrick, D.Vol Patrick, signed a bill making photographing or recording video under a person's clothing, i.e., down their blouse uh to see their cleavage or up their skirt, a crime.
Uh so that the secret photographing or video taping or up somebody's skirt uh uh or down a shirt is now a crime, uh punishable by up to two and a half years in jail.
And it was fascinating fascinating to me because in uh in a strange way, upskirting is now the is whatever Governor Patrick's new law says, upskirting is basically the entire organizing principle of the United States government.
Not just in the literal sense that the that when you go to the airport, whatever Governor Patrick says, when you go to uh Logan Airport in Boston, you can be upskirted as much as they want to do it to you.
The United States government reserves the right to photograph and fondle your genitals every time you go get on a plane.
They basically the TSA is upskirting you 24-7.
The NSA is upskirting you 24-7 in the sense that they're uh going through your lives with forensic detail.
They're in fact doing the electronic equivalent of what the TSA do well with uh with their fingers.
Obamacare is upskirting you in the in the healthcare sense, uh, in that that's the that represents the governmentalization of health care, which in turn means that the government uh has to improve uh all kinds of uh all kinds of intimate information that you ought to be between you and your doctor uh will now be shared not only with your insurer but effectively with the government of the United States as well.
So we live in we live in a republic of upskirting.
Uh one can be heartened that Governor Patrick has now signed a bill outlawing upskirting in uh Massachusetts, but it doesn't change the fact that Marco Botsford and the Massachusetts Supreme Court had previously ruled uh that you could upskirt away and the fact that with the uh the IRS actually is upskirting you.
We heard from uh Patricia, in I think it was Bristol, Indiana, who announced that she ha is being preemptively audited, even though it's not going to be tax filing day for another five weeks.
We are midway through tax season.
By the way, a revolting term, the idea that tax requires a whole season ought to be obnoxious to people.
But we are five weeks away from tax filing day, and nevertheless, Patricia has received notice that she's being preemptively audited, pre-ordited for taxes she has not yet filed.
They don't know.
They don't know what she's claiming, they don't know what her deductions are, they don't know uh they they don't know what she's paying, they don't know what refund she's demanding, but they've decided to audit her anyway for no particular reason except uh as she notes that she made a contribution to Governor Romney a year or so back.
Uh so they're they're basically the IRS reserves the right to upskirt every aspect of your life too.
We live in whatever the Massachusetts whatever the Massachusetts Supreme Court says, we we are now living in the Republic of Upskirting by the NSA, uh by the Department of Justice, by the IRS, by the TSA, by the full alphabet soup of the Federal Government.
Mark Stein in Farush, 1800-282-2882.
Uh Mark Stein, in Farush on the EIB network, there is no there is no upskirting at uh at the unplug SF party at a crowded North Beach Bar in San Francisco, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, uh, because the this is a new kind of bar where the young people who go to these these bars have to surrender their cell phones at the door.
You know when you go into a bar, sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name and it's all convivial and enjoy the company, and instead you just go in and the all you see are uh i i in in the in the darkened bar are just like thumbs, thumbs vibrating in the dark as people as people tweet each other and do, even though they're in a room with other young people that they could meet and pick up and take back to their place.
Uh they instead they'd just rather tweet and uh and text each other or uh with the with the little devices.
Well, this bar in San Francisco is one of a number of bars is now making you surrender your cell phone at the door, so you have to uh start uh using all the old line.
You can't just tweet the girl on the next stool that, you know, my wife doesn't understand me.
You actually have to say it to her in person and see whether it still works.
But it's but so it's a new thing.
People are trying like human human contact and human conversation in this San Francisco bar and seeing if that can that can make a comeback.
Because now when you like you go in, people are just even though they're they're meeting somebody on a date and they're still just their thumbs are working and they're tweeting and and texting all through the date.
And like the phone, the two cell phones, they're having a great time.
Like uh you know taking the selfies, taking the photographs, the two phones could just go back to their pad and have a great one night stand on their own.
They haven't the two phones are having a much better time than the guy and the girl.
But now but now at the San Francisco bar, they're saying no you got to surrender your cell phone at the door.
And uh and so human contact human contact uh may be making a comeback.
And then maybe people won't fall for the electronic theater like Barbara Boxer doing uh all night talk a thon tonight.
Let's go to Dale in southern New Jersey mysteriously no more specifically located than that.
Dale you're live on the Rush Limbo Show.
Great to have you with us.
Uh thank thank you Mark.
It's always so enjoyable informative listening to you.
I just wanted to start that off you know well that's that's that's very I tell you what if we're interested be informative.
Which bit of southern New Jersey are you in exactly near the Pine Lands you know that desolate uh area of New Jersey if you fly over it it's totally dark at night.
You know people don't know it even exists you know out here.
No, no actually it's it looks like North Korea at night.
There's there's not a well that that happens to be one of my suggestions but uh before I say that I I must admit to you that I do have some Canadian connections too you know through my wife by marriage uh her uh grandmother was a Canadian citizen lived in London Ontario she still has cousins there etc.
Really so wait a minute so let me word this out this your wife's grandmother was Canadian.
Yeah.
So that means like Ted Cruz you're not eligible to run for the presidency, I believe Dale.
Oh my yeah I guess that's true.
Yeah.
Yeah you'll just have to l you just have to we can't take any chances.
You've got if you're if you're if your wife's got a grandmother of in London, Ontario, we can't let you anywhere near the Oval Office.
There's uh that's and uh I also worked intobicole and Scarborough so that I guess disqualifies me too.
You know how to pronounce it.
It's got a it's got a silent K in it.
Uh where now nothing you and I are saying now makes sense to the tens of millions of Rush listeners.
And they're about to balance their budget up there too is amazing.
They have balanced their budget last exactly last year they had a last year by the way they had a six billion dollar deficit.
That's billiard with a B, no trillions involved and this year they will have an eighteen billion dollar uh uh uh surplus and those are numbers that you don't even find in a uh Washington budget anymore.
they're rounding errors in an Obama budget.
Hey, two comments or a suggestion and a comment, if I may.
The latter one's very serious.
But the first one, semi-serious, I guess.
But you started the program off with North Korea and 100% election results for Kim Jong-un.
I have a suggestion that Emperor Barakas, Obama's the first, and I've Latinized his name because it's an imperial, truly an imperial presidency, that he sent Jimmy Carter to North Korea and Korea
also to the Crimea who has uh uh their parliament I guess unanimously uh voted to join Russia as well that that these unanimous uh votes be audited by Carter just to make sure everything's on the up and up like he's done in so many other countries.
Yeah that that's true because you if you're a big shot dictator you haven't really been re-elected until Jimmy Carter and the UN observers have signed off on the result.
You're absolutely right there.
It's not it's not valid until Jimmy Carter has pronounced excellent idea.
We will we will put him on the first flight to Pyongyang.
Excellent suggestion now.
Exactly so that's point number one.
Number two is very quite serious and it has to do with the Ukraine and Poland and Czechoslovakia and all the countries that were recently liberated uh from Soviet domination uh under Ronald Reagan.
Uh and that is the whole issue of missile defense and this is something that I follow very closely and frankly uh it sickens me to think about it because under under Reagan a strategic defense initiative somewhat under Bush these things were being really investigated great strides were being made uh Along comes uh William Jefferson Clinton,
who signed an agreement, by the way, uh, you know, about protecting the Ukraine after they gave up their nuclear missile defense, after they gave up their nuclear missiles, uh, to uh uh he he basically uh Clinton put it on the shelf, give the Russians and the Chinese time to catch up with our technology.
And now you have uh King Barackis, uh Obama's basically limiting it to a few destroyers out there somewhere with some uh modicum of of uh ballistic missile defense, whereas Israel.
That hold hold hold hold hold that thought there, Dale.
We'll come back to you uh after the break, but I gotta I gotta take uh an EIB uh obscene profit center break right now.
We will return with this momentarily.
Yes, Rush returns.
Uh he's at a uh a charity event today, but he will be back live tomorrow to take you through the end of the week with full-scale authentic all-American excellence in broadcasting.
We have none of that uh going on on the air at the moment because uh Dale, who purports to be from the Pine Lands in uh southern New Jersey actually turns out to be some sort of sinister Canadian uh w once worked in Itobico, Ontario, where I lived uh uh as it happened.
It's actually now I think it's March uh March the 10th, so it's actually Commonwealth Day today.
So we Canadians and Australians and New Zealanders and Bermudans and whatnot can all talk among ourselves and the American the American listeners could all retune to the Light FM channel.
Anyway, Dale from the Pine Lands in New Jersey.
Dale, you you were explaining the um the missile defense uh situation as it as it uh prevailed uh under Reagan Bush won Clinton uh and bringing us up to the the present time uh the the missile defense situation uh basically these guys, the Eastern the liberated Eastern European states, Poland, the Czech Republic and everything uh and everyone thought they would be covered by it.
And then uh Obama came to office and told them, sorry, we're pulling the plug on that.
That that is correct.
And uh he said he put it on a send destroyers, and and I think there were six that was scheduled to be slated to be put on, uh, but uh definitely scaled down.
And my basic point was we could have had a missile defense system uh par not far excellence, the best in the world.
And instead, yeah, for one-tenth of the cost of the money he's spreading around to buy his his boats here in this country and Obamacare and all the rest, one-tenth of that cost could have put us in a position where we would not have been breached by ballistic missiles uh from overseas or from the s you know from from any other source,
including Iran, that can park a uh uh uh a craft off of our shores as they're planning on doing now, and launch a missile that could reach us in a couple days, uh excuse me, a couple of minutes.
Uh so Israel has a system that we help pay for.
Uh, I know the guy who helped develop that with them.
Right.
And uh and they have three levels of defense the Iron Dome, uh, another one, and the arrow for the large larger, you know, ballistic missiles, the higher flying ones.
We could have been far ahead of anybody else in the game.
But these people purposefully delayed our efforts and sidestepped them and did everything they could to ensure that we wouldn't have that and leave us basically in a defenseless position.
Yeah, and and and and insofar, Dale, as this this applies to what's going on right now.
Uh essenti essentially, um the the plan was to have a a far perimeter, a far perimeter uh of uh of missile defense that would include uh the Western oriented states of Eastern Europe uh who who were artificially sealed in a prison state from uh 1945 to 1989 and came out of that prison state.
Many of them have now joined the European Union and have joined NATO and are in fact de facto members of the Western Alliance.
But Putin doesn't recognize that.
Putin doesn't recognize that.
And so he pushed hard against the idea of situating American missile defense in what he regarded as Russia's sphere of influence.
And Obama conceded that to him.
And the lesson, Dale, here is that generally the guy who means it gets his way.
And people understand at a certain level that Putin means it.
People in that part of the world understand that they may not like him.
They may not want to be under the umbrella of Russia any more than people want to be under the nuclear umbrella of the guys in Tehran.
But those guys mean it too.
And Obama told the world with the missile defense reversal for Poland and the Czech Republic.
then with the red line in Syria he told the world and in with Benghazi when uh an American ambassador was killed his body dragged through the streets, three other Americans killed.
Nobody's been arrested for that.
Nobody's paid a price for that.
It's a year and a half ago and it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter because it was a like it wasn't covered because it got in the way of uh Obama's re election.
But all these things tell the world the the red line in Syria there wasn't a red line.
The commitment to Poland and the Czech Republic there wasn't a commitment to Poland and the Czech Republic.
The pledge to bring the perpetrators of what happened in Benghazi to justice that proved to be absolutely worthless.
So uh so Obama has told the world that America doesn't mean it.
If you're the Taliban why would you why would why would you bother negotiating with the Americans?
They're gonna be gone and you can do what you want.
Why do a deal with them?
Who cares about them?
They don't mean it.
Americans don't mean it.
Putin means it.
The mullahs mean it.
The Taliban mean it.
But America doesn't mean it and that's what uh Barack Obama has uh has told the world.
And that and that ac actually comes at a at a high price if if if you do that as often as he does.
And that's why and that's why the whole foreign policy theatre of the the last couple of days.
The guy goes to Key Lago for the weekend to play golf so he's he's there having a great time with his buddies playing golf but it's important to show that he's engaged with what's going on in the world.
So we photograph him putting placing a phone call to David Cameron in London.
He's talking to the guys in Latvia and Lithuania and Estonia and uh everybody takes this seriously and the media cover it and the newspapers cover it and the Sunday talk show say well uh President Obama spoke yesterday with Prime Minister Cameron in London by telephone and uh Prime Minister Cameron asked him how his golf game was going.
Uh no no no I mean Prime Minister Cameron said he's gravely concerned as he's sure President Obama is gravely concerned about what's happening in Ukraine.
And all this theatre is just mis so he's uh foreign policy of n is of no interest to Obama uh except in two ways.
If it's bad if it's bad news that they can hang round his neck like Benghazi then whoa that's nothing.
That's a nothing story.
We don't cover it there's nothing to see here, there's nothing move on.
If if if there's anybody at fault in this story it's some video maker in Los Angeles.
So we'll we'll trump up some because we're the upskirt Republic, the Republic of Upskirting, we can find some technical violation to nail him on and we can send a bigger more heavily armed force to arrest some no name nothing loser guy in Los Angeles than we had guarding an American diplomatic facility in one of the most dangerous parts of the world will send a more heavily armed force to get that guy and
toss him in jail for some nothing little violation because in the Republic of paperwork we're all guilty of three hundred different things at every hour of the day and we'll kill that story stone dead.
That's the first kind of foreign policy story.
The other kind of foreign policy story is when you're not g you're not gonna do anything about it, you're irrelevant to the story.
Everybody knows that America is just a spectator, that Obama is a spectator as much as uh Mrs Mabel Scroggins of forty seven Elm Street or whoever I said a couple of hours ago.
He's just a spectator.
So in that case, you use foreign policy stuff that you're never gonna be involved with, you're never gonna be relevant to as a great distraction from uh the implosion of what's happening on the domestic scene.
And the great question the mo the basic question coming up for Americans is whether the new normal, the reality, the downsized lives, the fifty million is fifty million people on food stamps a permanent feature of life in the United States.
Is the number of people going on uh social security disability, taking themselves out of the labor market forever, a permanent feature of life in the United States?
Permanent multi-generational dependency?
Is that now what it means to be an American?
Is this the the anemic uh anemic uh job growth that never uh reflects itself in new businesses, new opportunities, better salaries, the ability to live your life to your fullest potential, is that now the new normal in the United States?
Uh Obama is has made a bet uh and after and in November 2012 it worked out very well for him that his narrative, the narrative he sets, the narrative, the court eunuchs in the media, uh uh cheerily recycle and repedal without question,
whether that can trump the reality of your lives, which is the degeneration of a great nation into a kind of uh crony capitalism where by a few buddies at the top, if you happen to know the right people, they'll give you the deal, they'll give you the contract to build the Obamacare website, doesn't matter whether you can do it or not.
If you know who to call in Washington, you'll get the gig.
Uh and uh he's bet, he's bet that that that fake narrative can actually trump reality and will trump reality this November.
And that remains an open that remains an open question, and it is for you to make sure that uh the fake Obama narrative does not trump reality this November.
Mark Stein Farush will take more of your calls straight ahead.
Mark Stein for Rush.
Speaking of Benghazi, by the way, Cheryl Atkison uh has just resigned from CBS News.
She was she was like the only mainstream media bulldog on the Benghazi story.
Uh she she uh sh she's she basically went at it, went at it, went at it, and uh eventually it was too much for the uh liberal environment at uh CBS News, and uh she began getting sidelined there because they felt that uh she was she she was taking too much of an interest in this uh in this story.
She she tweeted a couple of hours ago that she is now resigned from CBS News.
That too makes the point uh we've been talking about earlier that it's uh that if you if you go up against Obama, bad things happen to you.
Doesn't matter whether you just like Patricia in Indiana, you just donate to the wrong political candidate and get pre-audited for taxes you haven't yet filed yet.
Uh doesn't matter whether you belong to a particular uh nonprofit group and you get held up for three years of paperwork, doesn't mean you can be like Dinesh D'Souza.
Uh you can make a movie about Obama that is too an anti-Obama movie that's too big a hit, and for a fifteen thousand dollar campaign violation, fifteen thousand dollar campaign violation, you you will be arrested,
you will be handcuffed, you will be subjected to half a million dollars in bail, you will have your passport taken away, so this guy, Dinesh D'Souza, lives in lives in uh New York, but he can't give a speech in Toronto, and he can't give a speech in Boston without getting permission of the judge to travel out of New York City.
Uh that's Obama's Department of Justice.
The guy made an Andy Obama documentary, they get him on a fifteen thousand some fifteen thousand dollar technicality, they're gonna throw him in jail or plead him down to something by if he admits he's guilty.
And in the meantime, he's handcuffed, he has half a million dollars in jail, passport confiscated, and can't travel from New York City to give a speech in Hartford, Connecticut, without getting the permission of the judge.
That's uh that's Obama's America.
Doesn't smell, doesn't smell terribly good.
Doesn't smell like a civilized society, doesn't smell like a free nation anymore.
That whiff, that whiff you get in your nostrils, that is the whiff of that is the whiff of despotism.
Initially just a person here, a person there, and somebody over there.
And maybe if you're lucky they won't notice you.
But maybe something is afoot, and maybe the likelihood is that in fact they will notice you.
John in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
John, you're on the Russian embushow.
Great to have you with us.
Hello, Mr. Stein.
It is an honor and pleasure to be speaking with you.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
My pleasure.
What you just said about the whiff of despotism.
Yes, it does stink.
We're all being upskirted.
And and it and it ain't fun.
And and the problem, I believe, is there's still, believe it or not, there's still a lack of public awareness.
Not a pe not enough people know what's really going on or care.
Um it's like we're living at a Saturday night live skit.
You mentioned earlier about the latest stop of Banster's uh continuing vacation tour to Largo.
I think the cheesy 80 soft rock song that you were referring to is named Kokomo.
Um, no, no.
No, Coco is a good cheesy eighties Schlocko soft rock song.
There's one called Key Largo.
It's by a one-hit wonder called Bertie Higgins, John.
Oh, I apologize because there was there was a reference to Key Largo in that song, which I by the way, I kind of like the song, Kokomo.
But uh he he had his theme song with the mm-mm-mm, and perhaps we need, you know, another Saturday night live or a theme song to expand the the awareness.
But one point I really wanted to touch on here is uh uh I read in a pamphlet once, and I'd like you to correct me if I'm wrong, that the IRS and and the you know the the tax code as we currently have it uh came to its inception on December twenty-third, nineteen thirteen.
Was that the sixteenth Amendment?
Yeah, that's uh that's right.
That's the sixteenth Amendment.
And in the pamphlet that I read, that was only ratified by two states.
And yet it was made law, and and it's it's you know, pretty much of an unconstitutional law that that we're all subject to, and now they're going and they want to use the IRS to enforce this health care thing, it's like our our freedoms are being eroded right before our eyes.
The the best country God ever gave man is being fundamentally transformed intentionally and without more public awareness, um what do we do about it?
Well, that that's an excellent point, John.
Th the the the permanent bureaucracy is a threat, even if it's not particularly partisan, because obviously it operates in its own interests and its interest is big government.
So if you have a permanent bureaucracy of the size of most Western nations do, it's very hard to have genuinely small government.
That's the first stage.
Then when you have what's going on here, where the permanent bureaucracy is basically used as a tool explicitly to punish the president's enemies, you have moved to the next stage.
And people ought to be mad about this.
This shouldn't be a partisan thing.
And those lefties who think that it doesn't matter as long as we're the guys in power, as long as we're the ones wielding the power.
Uh, they are doing a they are doing a huge disservice to the integrity of this nation.
And history will not be kind to them for what they've permitted to happen on this president's watch.
Mark's time for us, we'll close things out in a moment.
Hey, time to go.
The uh IRS are knocking at the door ready uh ready for my forensic upskirting, so I've got to get on to that.
And then afterwards I'll be uh I'll be heading over to Pyongyang for Kim Jong-un's uh electoral victory party.
