	Yes, America's Anchorman is away and we're honored, honored to be with you live from Ice Station EIB in far northern New Hampshire.
	If you're fleeing the country, do swing by and say hello.
	You can't miss us.
	There's a big sign on the highway saying last Rush guest host before the border.
	Eric Erickson, Eric Erickson, because it's not, you don't have to have a sinister foreign guest host here.
	There are Americans.
	This is one of those jobs that Americans will definitely do.
	And an all-American boy who will be here to do it tomorrow is Eric Erickson for three hours of full strength, authentically American guest hosting on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
	Don't forget, you can also go to rushlimbore.com.
	And if you sign up and become a Rush 24-7 subscriber, you need never be discombobulated by guest hosts ever again because you can get rushed.
	If you wake up at three in the morning, if you've got prostate problems and you're getting up 12 times a night, you can listen to the show in segments timed to the needs of your bladder.
	You can hear the show whenever you want.
	You can look at the Ditto cam.
	You can read transcripts, and you can also get all your great Club Gitmo gear, Rush Revere stuff, and also the Limbaugh letter, which I'm proud to say featured me in one edition a couple of years ago.
	The Washington...
	When am I going to be in...
	I'm going to be in Minnesota.
	I'm going to be in Minneapolis on October the 9th, and that's at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis.
	And it's presented by the Center for the American Experiment.
	Well, if you go to AmericanExperiment.org, you can get tickets.
	Or if you go to my website, if you go to steinonline.com, and that's Stein with a Y, as in why do I have to listen to this annoying foreigner telling me everything that's wrong with my country, S-T-E-Y-Nonline.com.
	There's a link just in the right-hand sidebar on the home page that will bring you to that.
	And that's October 9th.
	Center of the American Experiment is Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis.
	If they want to get me on Twitter, my Twitter handle is at MarksteinOnline.
	And if they want to get me on Facebook, Facebook is Mark SteinOnline too, I think.
	That's right.
	I've got so many.
	I'm like some of these Somali guys.
	I've got seven different names.
	I can't always remember them all.
	But I think that's... I think that's...
	I shouldn't be making Somali jokes when I'm appearing in Minneapolis because it's like 58% of the population or something now.
	And we want them all to come out and buy tickets for October the 9th.
	I will be there.
	And I always love, I mentioned at the beginning of the show that I always love going to Minneapolis because I got to use the Larry Craig wide stance men's room there.
	And I didn't mean use it in the Larry Craig sense.
	I wasn't playing FTSE with any Minneapolis airport cop.
	But I was always very appreciative of that men's room.
	And I'll tell you why.
	At the time, I was having my difficulties with the Canadian Human Rights Commissions up north of the border.
	And I was basically looking at a lifetime publication ban in the country I was born in.
	That would have been the statutory penalty if I'd been convicted of flagrant Islamophobia.
	That's what I was up against at the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal.
	Flagrant Islamophobia, which is far worse than just regular Islamophobia.
	I mean, flagrant Islamophobia is you're doing it extremely flagrantly, flamboyantly, even Camply.
	I was accused of being Camply Islamophobic.
	And the statutory penalty is that my magazine and no other publication would have been able to publish me in the land of my birth for life.
	So I was very interested in free speech issues, and I still am.
	And just so at the same time, as I'm undergoing this torment in front of the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal and Ontario Human Rights Commission and the Federal Human Rights Commission at the hands of the Canadian Islamic Congress, I hear about Senator Larry Craig, who was caught playing footsie with an undercover cop in the Minneapolis airport men's room.
	And he's no longer a senator now.
	He was one of the singing senators with Trent Lott and Jim Jeffords.
	And I've no idea what he was singing under that stall divider.
	But the police officer evidently liked it enough to stick his police boot under the divider and wiggle his toes against Larry Craig's toes.
	And Larry Craig's original defense was that he had a wide stance while he was in the Minneapolis.
	He was famous around Washington, that when he went to the men's room, he had a wide stance.
	And that's why his foot was on the other guy's side of the divider.
	And he modified his defense.
	And he said that, in fact, the twirling of his boot under the men's room stall divider to the police officer when he was twirling his shoe with a come hither twirl to the Minneapolis airport cop, that that was protected speech under the First Amendment.
	And I thought, what a great country.
	What a great country.
	In Canada, in Canada, my columns are not protected free speech.
	But in America, Larry Craig's foot movements under the bathroom men's room stall divider is protected free speech under the First Amendment.
	What a great country.
	And ever since then, ever since then, I have not attacked imams in print, but I always make a point of hitting on them whenever I encounter them in airport bathrooms because it's far safer.
	And as Larry Craig, Senator Larry Craig taught us, it's protected speech under the First Amendment.
	I was very grateful for that.
	And I always look forward to being back at Minneapolis.
	Well, I'll be on October the 9th.
	The Washington Post is beginning to, not just because it's fired Catherine Graham's granddaughter as publisher and replaced her with a, as all the sinister news coverage says, Reagan administration appointee.
	The Washington Post seems to be losing patience with Obama.
	A headline on two columns today, Obama's Herky jerky leadership.
	Herky jerky.
	Herky, the word of the day is herky jerky, says Ruth Marcus, which is a polite way of saying erratic.
	This is what she says.
	Once again, this is a hole that the president helped dig himself into and one that was easily foreseen.
	Once again, he looks weak and uncertain, not in control of his game.
	Sometimes if everyone is mad at you, it is proof that you are doing your job.
	Sometimes it's a sign that you are simply messing up.
	That's Ruth Marcus on Obama's Herky Jerky Leadership.
	Meanwhile, Dana Milbank, Dana Milbank, has written a column on President Obama's unnerving happy talk and compares him unfavorably with David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, who is nominally head of the Conservative Party.
	He's nobody's idea of a conservative.
	He's basically an unprincipled, unmoored squish of the First Order.
	And when he's looking like Mr. Backbone and Mr. Decisive and Mr. Leadership next to you, you know things are really bad.
	A poll released last week found that 54% of the public thinks Obama is not tough enough in foreign policy.
	Obama has been giving Americans a pep talk, essentially counseling them not to let international turmoil get in the way of the domestic economic recovery.
	And he's talking about the necessity of American leadership and how Obama's happy talk fails that test.
	And Ruth Marcos Rakas is talking about Obama's herky jerky leadership.
	These people are slowly, slowly beginning to tire of defending the indefensible.
	And basically, because a lot of things are getting worse.
	And eventually, the things that are getting worse will be getting worse right where you are.
	I made the point in the first hour that when you abolish the southern border, as Obama has, there's basically no difference between domestic and foreign, between home and abroad, between Main Street and a lot of crazy, wacky foreigners doing crazy stuff on the other side of the planet, because it turns out they live in Minneapolis or whatever.
	And that's the point.
	It's a very thin line that separates civilization from barbarism.
	And if you go back to that Malaysian Airlines flight, not the one that disappeared, but the second one that was ferrying a bunch of Dutch businessmen and Dutch tourists from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and got shot down over Ukraine by some goons acting at the behest of Vladimir Putin or whatever.
	And that's the division.
	That moment.
	You think you're getting on a flight from one corner of the civilized world to another, but you have to pass over, pass over some part of the map that has just fallen out of civilization and back into barbarism.
	And in that little dark patch on the map where the beacons of civilization no longer burn, you get shot out of the sky and it's all over and you're in a field.
	And no matter what the international community says, the goons who shot you down don't let anybody get near the crash site and they pick over your bodies and they steal all your stuff and they dishonor you even in death because that's how narrow the line is between civilization and barbarism.
	And the light went out in Ukraine and the light Went out in Libya, at Tripoli airport, where these planes have disappeared.
	And the light goes out in Mosul, where Christians have fled, who've been one of the oldest Christian communities on the planet.
	And they're all gone now.
	And their churches are being destroyed and razed to the ground.
	And the light goes out in Mosul, and the light goes out here, and a light goes out there.
	And all the superpower does is it asks the first lady to stand there with a sad look on her face and a piece of cardboard with a handwritten hashtag.
	I mean, I don't even get the handwritten hashtag.
	I thought it was just something you had on the computer.
	I didn't realize it worked on a piece of cardboard, too.
	The handwritten hashtag, hashtag bring back our girls.
	How did that work?
	How did that work?
	How does hashtag, how does hashtag government work?
	Or does it just mean another light goes out here and another light goes out there?
	And pretty soon when you're taking a flight, you're flying in darkness all over and hoping there are still a few beacons, a few citadels of civilization that have still got their lights on.
	And you still hope that there'll be somewhere out there, there'll be a shining city on a hill because everything below the hill is plunged into darkness and barbarism.
	And that is what is happening to this map.
	That is what is happening to the map on Obama's watch.
	And even the Washington Post, even the fans of Obama, can't defend this because what can you say?
	He's not serious.
	He's golfing.
	He's in Estonia to reassure people.
	And what he says doesn't reassure anybody because they're asking him about another American who's been beheaded and he's got nothing to say about it.
	Mark Stein in for Rush will take your calls straight ahead.
	America's number one radio show, The Rush Limbaugh Show, Mark Stein in for Rush.
	Charles C. Johnson from gotnews.com joins us.
	Charles has an enviable nose for news, and he has been digging down to the backstory to events in Ferguson, Missouri, and specifically with Michael Brown, who started out as the gentle giant and the college kid, and then he was caught on video stealing these cigars.
	And his story has kind of decayed from there, the gentle giant thing.
	But Charles has been wondering what else is behind that and has been trying to get hold of the court records from juvenile court, Charles.
	How's that end of things going, and what have you heard?
	So I filed suit a few weeks ago with the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
	And we went to court today, and the judge is going to make a decision either in the next month on the issue.
	And what I had was I had two St. Louis police officials who both told me that Michael Brown was in a gang and that Michael Brown was charged with second-degree murder, which would be consistent with being in a gang and being present for a shooting but not necessarily participating in it.
	And I wanted to find out if this was true, so I filed a sunshine request.
	I was denied on dubious grounds, and so I retained counsel and got news.com and I sued.
	And we've been fighting it ever since.
	Now, usually the argument for not releasing a juvenile's criminal record is because he becomes an adult and you don't want the taint of his juvenile record to hang around his shoulders for the rest of his adult life.
	But the argument here is that, well, he's dead, so there's not going to be an adult life, so there's no reason not to release these records.
	That's basically it, isn't it?
	Yeah, that's right.
	And, you know, there's another case involving a white 18-year-old who stole cigarettes and who died from being beaten by a security guard.
	And his juvenile records were also released.
	So there's a bit of a racial angle here, which is why is it that a dead black juveniles' records aren't released, but a dead white one's were.
	And honestly, you know, I just want to know what are in the records to know if the police officers were telling the truth.
	And, you know, there's a lot of stuff swirling around here in Missouri, which I've flown to to go and actually be present at the courtroom.
	And a lot of stories that haven't been reported about the looting and about the rioting.
	And so I wanted to go one of the things we do at GodNews.com is we tell the stories that no one else will, even if they're politically incorrect.
	And so I intend to fight it all the way through to the end.
	Well, the Post-Dispatch, the St. Louis paper, has a story in which a lawyer for the county's juvenile officer says there were no convictions or active cases for, quote, serious felonies, unquote.
	Now, does that necessarily rule out the second-degree murder story that you've been no?
	What we were told is that there were charges and that a deal was struck.
	Lewis Head, who is Michael Brown's stepfather, has a long rap sheet.
	And we were told, what I was told is that a deal was struck by Lewis Head to kind of keep his stepson out of jail.
	And that's part of the reason that Michael Brown wound up living with his father and with his grandparents rather than with his mother and stepfather.
	And so that's entirely consistent with what I've heard.
	You know, again, a serious felony, you know, it's a very interesting question.
	What is a serious felony?
	The counsel did not explain that today.
	And what's interesting is that the St. Louis Post Dispatch's own lawyer said that they wanted the records, but their reporter wrongly said that there were no charges either.
	We didn't hear that in court today.
	So the St. Louis Post Dispatch unfortunately got it wrong.
	And fortunately, I was able to shame them into filing suit alongside us to go and get these records.
	And I'm glad that they finally joined, you know, joined up and they're fighting for the First Amendment, too.
	Just quickly, Charles, should we attach any significance to the fact that this lawyer, Cynthia Harcourt, used this, why didn't she just say he has no Class A felonies?
	He has no Class B felonies.
	Why did she use a deliberately vague phrase?
	Well, it's a great question.
	You know, I've repeatedly said, I'll drop the suit immediately if a court official will go and say that he has no criminal record.
	But they have not done that.
	I've also been very clear.
	They've played all sorts of games with me saying that, oh, there are 50 Michael Browns.
	You sure you have the right one?
	And I was like, yes, here's all his information.
	Here's his first two middle names.
	Here's his driver's driver's permit.
	So this might just be they've tried to play all these games because they don't want us to know the information.
	Yeah, so this might be more obfuscation on that part.
	It's a fascinating story.
	Keep at it, Charles, and we'll keep following it here, too.
	Yes, great to be with you.
	Eric Erickson checks in tomorrow, and Rush returns live next week.
	Let's go to Pat in Utah in the town of Orem.
	Did I say that right, Pat?
	Yes, Oram.
	Okay, great to have you with us.
	And thanks for waiting.
	What's on your mind today?
	Thank you.
	I always listen when you're on, although we're big fans of Rush.
	I'm going back to your granny on the airlines.
	I just returned from Canada with five of my seven children, four boys and their spouses, and one without a spouse, 13 grandchildren.
	All the men are over six feet tall, one's six foot seven.
	They all have snarky senses of humor and so on.
	And I warn them: do not say anything when we cross borders or when we get on planes.
	Right, right.
	I am the last one to go through the check.
	I get wounded three times, have to take my shoes and my jewelry off.
	I say, I have new hips and new knees.
	Oh, no, I had to go through again.
	And I had to stand like I was going to do jumping jacks and be padded down.
	I'm 76 years old.
	And this was, which airport was this at?
	In Syracuse.
	In Syracuse, New York.
	Coming back from Canada.
	Okay.
	But the first indignity was I looked over and saw a woman I had seen earlier in a wheelchair.
	She had to have been 10 years older than me.
	She could not even hold her head up in the wheelchair.
	They took her out of the wheelchair.
	Two TSA agents held her up, made her spread her legs, and go through the padding down.
	Right.
	And I thought, well, I hope you're all feeling safer now that you've taken care of all of us grandmothers.
	No, it's ridiculous, this.
	Oh, my kids.
	My kids are all going, where's mom?
	Where's mom?
	Oh, she's back there.
	They won't let her through.
	My grandkids are saying, oh, my gosh, is grandma going to get on the plane?
	But you know what I think they're looking for?
	What did you think it was?
	My kinder eggs.
	That's true.
	Kinder eggs and bagpipes.
	That'll do it for you every time.
	So I think I told my grandkids, you can all feel safer now.
	Grandma's been checked out and she has no untoward devices on her that will harm anyone on this plane.
	But you know something, Pat.
	This stuff isn't funny, because if you'd said to people even 40 years ago, that at one point, Americans in wheelchairs, law-abiding, we have this thing, which is a basic concept in law called probable cause.
	It's why you can't be driving down the street and a police officer can't pull you over unless he's got a reason to pull you over.
	And the courts give wide latitude to that, but he can't pull over.
	You can't walk down the street and a police officer sees an 87-year-old lady in a wheelchair and he drags her out of the wheelchair and he feels all the way up her legs unless he's got a reason to do it.
	The airport is the only place so far, so far, in America, where all your rights, all your Fourth Amendment rights about unlawful seizure and all the rest of it, just disappear.
	And Americans should be revolted when they listen to Pat describing what she went to.
	Because as I said, it doesn't mean the security is working really well.
	It doesn't mean, oh, we've got Pat.
	If they're patting down Pat, and if they're patting down the lady behind her in the wheelchair, if they're dragging her up out the wheelchair, three people, three people.
	You wonder why this is the brokest nation in history?
	It's because it takes three people to pat down an 87-year-old woman in a wheelchair who is no threat to anybody.
	No threat to anybody.
	And the inability to distinguish that, if you go back to where we came in, 1999, and some guy is Ahmed Rassam, that was his name, and he had a Canadian passport and he was trying to get from on a border crossing from British Columbia, Washington State border crossing.
	I think it was on the ferry.
	And it wasn't anything in his paperwork that they looked at.
	It wasn't anything in the in his in the scanner.
	It was the border agent didn't like the look in his eyes, didn't like the look in his eyes.
	She made a human judgment.
	That guy was on his way to blow up LAX on December 31st, 1999.
	And the border agent stopped him because she made a human judgment as to the threat he represented.
	And now we don't do that.
	Now we profile things.
	Now we put a woman in a wheelchair, we put Pat through the scanner and make her stand there like she's doing jumping jacks and figure, well, you know, what are those things in her hips?
	Well, they're called hip replacements, and a lot of elderly Americans have them.
	But we profile, we don't profile Abdul Rahman Mohammed, the ISIS guy killed fighting in Syria for America's enemies.
	We profile hip replacements.
	So if you've got a hip replacement and it shows up on the scanner, we'll drag you aside for extra screening.
	And that's never going to work.
	Because you can always add zillions of things to the list, and there'll always be someone who gets the panty bomber got through.
	He got on the plane.
	And nobody wanted to go into this because it's all too revolting to discuss.
	But the guy, the panty bomber, would have blown that plane up over Detroit if he hadn't made the mistake of not changing his undies for two weeks.
	So if he was the sort of fellow, if he had a more punctilious hygiene regime and he changed his tighty whiteys every day, that plane would have been blown sky high.
	He got the bomb on the plane.
	And it's only because he'd been wearing the same pair of feet knickers for two weeks that the thing didn't blow sky high.
	The fruit of kaboom bomber, as Rush used to call him.
	And that's the only reason, because the bomb material had, quote, degraded in the euphemism, because he'd been wearing these things for two weeks.
	If we had jihadists with better hygiene habits, he would have blown that plane sky high.
	And in the meantime, the TSA are dragging aside old ladies in wheelchairs or Pat with hip replacements and profiling things.
	Instead of profiling the threat, they're profiling things.
	And that's never going to work.
	And it's interesting.
	I was just reading something.
	Michelle Buckman was talking about.
	She'd been told by an FBI guy, she'd been speaking to an FBI guy about what's going to happen to all these Minnesota people when they come back after fighting for ISIS.
	And the FBI guy says, well, you know, they're just, they're U.S. citizens.
	They're going to waltz straight in.
	And she's talking about, well, look, they're fighting for the enemy.
	That used to be called treason.
	Throughout most of human history, people accused of treason have been hanged.
	That's the penalty for treason.
	I think that's still on the books in most countries.
	And if you take up arms with the enemies of your country, that's a capital offense, and you should die.
	But instead, instead, because we don't prosecute treason anymore, because it's supposedly difficult to prosecute, because apparently fighting for ISIS and chopping the heads off people all over Syria and Iraq is entirely compatible with U.S. citizenship, nothing can be done when these fellas fly back to the country.
	And here's the thing.
	When I listen to Peter King and other people who are very good on the national security threat, David Cameron's new proposals in London and all the rest of it, they're all talking the same way.
	But somehow if you get the security apparatus, if you just crank that up another notch, so if you put in a plan whereby a guy who's been, you know, he's been in Syria and Iraq and he can't quite account for the reasons he was there, or he took a flight to Istanbul and then disappeared and he might have worked his way down into Syria and Iraq and it's not kind of clear,
	you'll have the right to revoke his passport, to revoke his passport.
	And these are the laws people are talking about now.
	And my worry is this, that they would just be like all the other laws we have.
	You know, Pat said she got this treatment when they'd been over in Canada and she came back down, took a flight out of Syracuse Airport in New York and they did this to her.
	And it'll be the same thing with that with the passports.
	They'll pass some new law so they can take away Abdul Rahman Mohammed's passport when these guys come back from Minnesota, come back to Minnesota from all the fun they're having fighting for ISIS.
	And it'll never be applied to Abdulrahman Mohammed, but it'll apply to Pat.
	You know, it'll turn out she'll go up to Toronto for a couple of days shopping and to see an ABBA musical at the Princess of Wales Theatre.
	And she'll be coming back and she won't have filled in the RU-12 correctly or she'll have a Kinderegg with her and they'll take her passport.
	Because that's the way all the laws work now.
	They don't get the laws.
	We've got a bazillion laws and Abdulrahman Mohammed and all the other fellas tap dance their way around them without a lot of difficulty because Obama's suspending them piecemeal all the time.
	And people say, well, we should pass more laws.
	And they'll pass more laws and Abdulrahman Mohammed will tap dance around them with ease and they will never be applied to the people for which they were attended.
	But you'll get your passport confiscated for bringing back a kindereg from Winnipeg.
	And that's the way, that's the problem in looking at this thing purely in terms of profiling things and in terms of the big security state.
	Mark Stein for Rush, more straight ahead.
	Mark Stein, in for Rush, let's go to Leanne in Farmington, Maine.
	Leanne, it's great to have you with us on the Excellence in Broadcasting.
	Thank you, Mark, for having me.
	My head's about to blow up, I think, if I dare say that, because whatever it is, echelon or whatever might be listening, they are spying on our cell phones, probably our landlines, and yet we have a wide open southern border, no real foreign policy, and no initiative whatsoever, and no strategy.
	How about that?
	They're spying on completely good U.S. citizens' cell phones.
	I gave up mine, Mark.
	When I found out that our government had voted by a narrow margin to continue surveillance of cell phones, I said, it's not worth it for me to talk to my aunt Rose in Michigan and be spied upon and play Tetris and brick attack to my heart's content when I'm not talking on the phone to her.
	But you're right, Leanne.
	But you know what it is now?
	You can't opt out of that from your point of view.
	Every single, even if you do things the old-fashioned way and you take a letter and you handwrite your address on it and you take it to the post office in Farmington, every single piece of mail now mailed into the United States is photographed.
	There's a record of that.
	And yet they can't tell us who's coming over the border.
	They don't know how many illegals or legals, really, probably we have here now.
	They can't send them back.
	They can't tell us that they can document anything.
	Mark, I'm going crazier.
	Is this country?
	Well, the thing is, when they talk about it like that, I mean, that's a choice.
	There's two types of people here.
	When they talk about undocumented or informal workers, as they say now in California, informal, which makes them like relax and relax as if they're wearing a V-neck sweater, you know, like Obama going to play golf at the Vineyard Golf Club or Perry Cobo's Christmas special or whatever it is.
	They're like relax.
	They're informal.
	You know, they're informal immigrants.
	And life now, it's amazing to me.
	They would know if you held up a liquor store, Leanne, and I'm not suggesting you should do this if anyone's concerned, but if you held up a liquor store.
	You may need to under this government.
	If you held up a liquor store, they would know instantly all your phone records, all your credit card transactions, everything you, they've got a perfect snapshot of your life because they're monitoring it 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
	They're monitoring Leanne in Farmington, Maine.
	And yet at the same time, there's this alternative population, the informal community, as they now call it in California, this new community of informal Americans who exist living in the shadows, as they call it, which actually sounds very cool and shady and relaxing, who don't have to worry about all this scrutiny, who have disposable identities.
	They have fake social security numbers.
	They have just enough documentation to be able to open bank accounts and send money back and all the rest of it.
	But they don't have, they're not scrutinized in the same way by choice.
	The government by choice doesn't scrutinize them.
	And these two communities of you, the Leanne School of Americans and the new group of what they call in California informal Americans, informal Americans, are overlaid like overlaid area codes in a, what's Maine's area code?
	207, isn't it?
	I think Leanne.
	Is that right?
	Yeah, area code 207.
	And I don't know whether they've introduced another one yet.
	No, they haven't.
	In fact, Olympia Snow helped us keep this one.
	We wanted it statewide, no matter what.
	Right, right.
	But if they ever do, they'll introduce another one, which will be 893 or whatever, and it will be overlaid on.
	So you'll have essentially two area codes on one state or one city.
	And if you've got a 207 number like Leanne, every aspect of your life is monitored within a millimeter of everything you do.
	And in the other overlapping area, you intersect at road junctions in this other overlaid community, which exists in the same physical space.
	You don't have that.
	You're Abdul Rahman Mohammed.
	You've got all your jihadist connections.
	You're joining up with ISIS.
	And yet somehow it doesn't affect you getting a job at Minneapolis Airport.
	And the world, and that's why Lee Ann ought to be crazy about this, because it's this strange inversion that the more they don't, the more they don't crack down on the lawbreakers, the more they don't crack down on the guys who are going off and fighting for America's enemies overseas, the more they crack down on you, because it's a lot easier to crack down on Leanne than it is to crack down on ISIS.
	And that's the way it's going to go until we get serious about this.
	And that's why I don't want any more of these new laws and all the rest of it, because they won't use the laws against the ISIS guys.
	They'll use them against Leanne, and that's the problem with it.
	Mark Stein for Rush, we'll close it out in a moment.
	Hey, thanks.
	Uh, thanks a lot.
	I've got a new book out next month, and I clear forgot to plug it on the show today, but it'll be uh out uh hitting bookstores if there are any left uh in October.
	And I do need the royalties because uh, my application for a job at Minneapolis Airport just uh just got vetoed as a security risk, so that's not going to pan out for me.
	Uh, I'm Mark Stein.
	I've had a ball being uh being here these uh last couple of days.
