	Yes, America's anchorman is away sleeping off the turkey or the toe furkey.
	I can't see Rush having toe furkey at Thanksgiving, but maybe he was so moved by the Seattle mayor pardoning the toe furkey and letting him live out his days at a toe, toe furkey wildlife refuge.
	Maybe Rush went vegan for Thanksgiving.
	We don't know.
	Maybe he'll tell us on Monday.
	Rush will be back on Monday.
	In the meanwhile, this is the last unamnested foreigner in the United States.
	Guest hosting for Rush live from 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.
	We love to see you if you're coming this way.
	Greg and Mike are looking after things down at the New York end of EIB because both HR and Mr. Snerdley have decided it's safe to leave the car keys with me for a wild joyride.
	But it is the end of the week, and you know what that means.
	Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida, it's open line Friday!
	Yes, 1-800-282-2882 is the number to call from Monday to Thursday.
	This show is in the ruthless totalitarian grip of a highly trained broadcast specialist.
	But the highly trained broadcast specialist is sleeping off his turkey, toefurkey, maybe turducken, maybe he went full Martha Stewart and he had a turducken this year.
	But Rush is sleeping off his turducken and I haven't a clue what I'm doing.
	And you can talk about any subject you want to talk about.
	All you've got to do is call 1-800-282-2882.
	And because it is Black Friday, we will let you have, if you are a left-wing pro-Obama caller and you want to defend Obama and you want to defend this so-called executive order on immigration, call us up and we will let you have twice as many LAMO liberal talking points as you would normally be able to get away with Monday to Thursday because it is Open Line Black Friday, Black Open Line Friday, Open Black Line Friday, whatever it is.
	You can have twice as many Lamo liberal talking points as you would normally be able to get away with simply by calling 1-800-282-2882.
	Because on this show, we're pardoning all the turkeys.
	So any lefty is welcome to call in.
	1-800-282-2882.
	Do you know, you do get the sense that liberals are beginning to wonder whether Hillary Rodham Clinton quite is going to do it for them.
	There is a headline in the New York Times, Who Will Save the Democratic Party from Itself? by Thomas B. Edsel.
	And he is, it's about Jim Webb, the one-term former senator from Virginia.
	He was Secretary of the Navy under Ronald Reagan.
	He's a Democrat.
	I think he wrote some pornographic novel, didn't he?
	I think that's what Jim Webb was doing in between being Secretary of the Navy and becoming a senator.
	He wrote some heavy-breathing novel, which I don't think.
	Yeah, he did.
	He wrote some heavy-breathing novel.
	I mean, there's like, it's a real bodice ripper.
	It's not something that Hillary Clinton has yet to match him on.
	In fact, I don't even like to say Hillary Clinton and Bodice Ripper in the same sentence.
	At any rate, Hillary Clinton looks as if she might not be able to do it for the Democrats.
	So they keep looking elsewhere.
	They've been looking for Elizabeth Warren, you know, the famous, what is she, 132nd, 164th Cherokee.
	So she would be the first Cherokee president in the White House.
	And that got the Democrats all excited for a while.
	Now they're looking at this Jim Webb guy.
	Did I hear that right, Greg, that some we're moments away from some gay candidate throwing his hat in the ring?
	And we, I would love to see that.
	Where are the GLBT guys when you need it?
	I think that would be fantastic to, yeah, well, I would, Barney Frank should run for president.
	I would love to see I would love to see the first GLP.
	I mean, I'm so sick of Democrat homophobia.
	Where are the gay presidential nominees?
	Because they want something other.
	They're beginning to get the idea that Hillary Rodham Clinton is just a tin-eared stiff who talks like the robotic I speak your weight machine, who says the wrong thing,
	who has no natural affinity for politics, who in fact is only whose legacy as a senator is irrelevant, whose legacy as an executive was Benghazi and the collapse of American foreign policy interests around the world.
	And they're beginning to get the sense that Hillary is not going to do it for them, that the Democratic machine, which one must respect, because it has pulled off some amazing feats over the decades, but that even the Democratic Party machine is not going to be able to drag Hillary across the finish line.
	So they're now talking up this guy, Jim Webb, who suggests that he could bring working-class whites back into the Democrat fold.
	The Democrats have a problem here in that they've got the minority groups and then they've got what they call the gentry liberals.
	I use that phrase.
	I think the guy who's popularizing it is this fellow called Joel Kotkin, whose book, The New Class Conflict, claims that the Democrat Party has been taken over by what he calls gentry liberals, an elite that has undermined the historic purpose of the Democratic Party, unquote, as this piece in the New York Times says.
	And he's right about that.
	I meant what I said in the last hour about that image from Ferguson.
	The president felt he had to speak on Ferguson, and he's there doing all this social justice communities of color pap from the White House on the right-hand side of the screen.
	And the left-hand side of the screen is ablaze.
	The right-hand side of the screen is where liberal policies are formulated.
	The left-hand side of the screen, where they're ablaze, is where you'll have to live with the hard consequences of liberal policies.
	And the chumps burning down Ferguson who go and vote for the Democrat Party, that does nothing for them.
	The Democratic Party lives in gated communities.
	Sometimes they're gated like the White House, and sometimes they're less extravagantly gated communities.
	But basically, the liberal, upscale gentry liberals arrange their lives so they do not have to live with the consequences of the policies they impose on others.
	And Hillary Rodham Clinton, a woman who was dirt poor when she left the White House until she figured she could get rich giving $300,000 speeches in which she says nothing that anybody remembers.
	Because when you pay $300,000 for a Hillary Clinton speech, you're paying $300,000 for a bad time.
	She's not a good speaker.
	She's not like her husband.
	You're just paying $300,000 for a bad time.
	It's sad.
	It's sad and pathetic that so many people are willing to just be in the presence of greatness or somebody who married greatness that they're willing to pay $300,000 for a lousy speech.
	She and her husband got rich giving speeches to fat layabout Saudi princes who just want to buy up American elites.
	And somehow that's her only private sector experience, except when she worked for those, what do they call those that left-wing law firm out on the West Coast.
	He was married to Jessica Mitford, the communist member of Britain's famous Mitford sisters.
	One of Jessica Mitford's sisters had Hitler as her unofficial wedding planner.
	That's how all embracing the Mitford girls were.
	One of them married some lefty and lived out in San Francisco, and Hillary Clinton, apart from that, working for that lefty guy out in San Francisco, and she's got rich giving speeches.
	Executive office as Secretary of State resulted in the collapse of American influence and power around the world, the reset button and all the rest of it.
	They're not going to be able to drag her across the finish line, so the gentry liberals now are panicking and they're looking for the next one.
	They're flirting with Elizabeth Warren, now Jim Webb.
	Maybe some fabulous hot gay candidate will declare that he's interested in challenging Hillary.
	But I don't think they're going to be able to drag Hillary across the finish line quite as easily as they think.
	And that is a very telling.
	This is a headline in the New York Times.
	Who will save the Democratic Party from itself?
	Ferguson, Missouri.
	We haven't really touched much on Ferguson in the last couple of hours.
	But if you do want to call, I'm happy to talk to you about it.
	They're now targeting Target.
	They're targeting Target in Ferguson.
	75 people began a spirited chant inside the Brentwood, Missouri Target, chanting no peace, shut it down, and hands up.
	I don't know why they're targeting Target, except that if you're going to target something, you might as well target Target.
	I'm inclined to boycott Target because have you seen the lousy TV commercials they're running with the world's worst version of a marshmallow world on it?
	I made a disco version of a marshmallow world, and my disco version of a marshmallow world is the one those guys at Target, those guys at Target wouldn't be being boycotted.
	They wouldn't have people sitting around in the store shouting no peace and shut it down if they'd used my version of marshmallow world in the Ads instead of this lousy rotten version of Marshmallow world they're using in the Target ads.
	No peace, shut it down.
	Hey, Mark Stein, Infor Rush on America's number one radio show.
	Let us go to Richard in Las Vegas, Nevada.
	Richard, great to have you with us on the show today.
	What's on your mind?
	Mark, I really enjoy listening to you.
	Hey, a couple of things on this Ferguson thing.
	Every time a network brings up the killing of Mike Brown, it's always, always, always mentioned that he was unarmed.
	And I can't believe that the networks haven't brought up the fact that since 2000, over 50 unarmed policemen have been killed with their own weapons by clowns like this Mark Brown, Mike Brown.
	So that's where you're saying that the unarmed guy has managed to get hold of the officer's weapon and use it against him and use it against him.
	Yeah, I mean, and even Fox, I don't hear them mentioning it.
	And the other thing is, I read the testimony that the officer gave, and he said he told him twice to get on the ground.
	Now, obviously, if he'd gotten on the ground, he would have been cuffed and nothing would have happened.
	But naturally, he chose the other course of action, and look what happened.
	Okay, okay, Richard.
	I'll come part of the way with you on this.
	Michael Brown is a disgusting figure, is a disgusting figure.
	And he's someone that the left should not have talked up in the way they did.
	Al Sharpton and people when they make, presumably all the people telling lies knew the truth about Michael Brown, particularly his neighbors.
	And once it was revealed what he was doing in the video, by the way, all these people who came to think it's a race issue, they don't seem to care about the poor little Asian fella that this guy is throwing aside in that video store when you see him pick him up.
	In other words, he's not just a shoplifter, he's a violent shoplifter, and he has a propensity to violence.
	He's got marijuana in his body.
	This idea of him being talked up as the angelic, what do they call him?
	The big angel or whatever.
	The big giant.
	Gentle giant big angel.
	The angel was Traven Martin.
	And it's interesting to me that always picked these guys who the story crumbles to nothing and they lose.
	And it's almost as if it's, you know, it's almost as if you'd almost think if you were really conspiracy-minded, you'd think that Sharpton picks people whose story crumbles to dust at the first moment of examination.
	So they're bound to lose in any kind of judicial thing, just so he can stoke up the eye.
	Because by losing, Sharpton wins, because it's a permanent grievance thing, because it's a permanent grievance thing, Richard.
	And this guy, then all the stuff, you know, in Target, I mentioned the Target protests.
	They're doing all the hands-up.
	The hands-up is a lie.
	It's a fiction.
	It's liars aided and abetted by Sharpton and the rubes and patsys of the media who said he put his hands up.
	There's no evidence that he put his hands up.
	No evidence at all.
	And so that's a lie.
	And they're still, they're going into Target.
	Oh, hands up, hands up.
	They're doing hands-up protests all over the country.
	It's a lie.
	But at the same time, Richard, I am uncomfortable with the number of civilians shot by police in the United States.
	And I think that is something.
	And I take your point about the number of police who've been killed, number of police who've been killed by people who managed to get hold of their weapons and use them against the officers themselves.
	And that is, I take your statistics for that at your word.
	But about 500 people are killed by police each year in this country, and they include an awful lot of people who shouldn't be killed, who really shouldn't be killed.
	They include, for example, 19-year-old preschool teacher, Samantha Ramsey, from Boone County, Kentucky, who was shot dead as she was leaving a party.
	Now, I assume the officers were cold to the party because there was alcohol there, because in America, you can't drink alcohol until you're 28 or 37 or whenever it is.
	It's in just said 20 minutes north of here, you can drink legally at the age of 18.
	So if she had been drinking alcohol at this party, it would have been legal to do it in Canada, in Ireland, in New Zealand, in France, in Sweden, in Italy, in Spain, in Portugal, wherever.
	She was shot, a 19-year-old preschool teacher, Samantha Ramsey, shot dead by Sheriff's Deputy Tyler Brockman for no reason whatsoever.
	And what I don't understand is why is a worthless figure, a figure who was not a gentle giant, but who was a violent thug, high on marijuana and his convenience store crime, like Michael Brown, why is he the poster boy?
	And nobody knows the name of Samantha Ramsey.
	And the president doesn't issue, when 19-year-old preschool teacher Samantha Ramsey is shot dead for no reason whatsoever, the president doesn't go and issue a statement about her.
	The president has nothing to say about her.
	And this gets to what was so disreputable about his statement the other night on Monday night, is it's not a race thing.
	It's not all kinds of people.
	It's not even a young, when he talks about young black men and the police, this Samantha Ramsey is a young white woman.
	It's not even an age thing.
	It's not about, you don't have to be a young black man.
	A trooper put half a dozen bullets at a 70-year-old reaching for his cane for no reason.
	Hey, great to be with you.
	Rush returns Monday for authentic post-Thanksgiving, post-Black Friday, All-American Excellence in Broadcasting.
	If you are a Rush 24-7 subscriber at rushlimbaugh.com, you can get Rush any time of the day or night.
	He never takes a vacation.
	He never takes a day off.
	He's always there in whatever form you need him on audio, on print, and on the old Ditto Cam.
	Rush in whatever medium you want.
	You can also get the Limbaugh letter.
	And in this month's Limbaugh letter, he has a terrific interview with me about my new book, which Rush very kindly calls a must-read.
	It's called The Undocumented Markstein.
	That title may ring a bell with some of you.
	But I mentioned Dina Gilby earlier, this woman who a couple of days after the same immigration bureaucracy that let in the guys who killed her husband in the World Trade Center, so they didn't get those guys.
	They didn't get Mohamed Adder.
	They just stamped him and waved him in.
	They then send her a deportation order saying she and her kids who are in the country entirely legally have to get out of the country.
	And I write about that in the undocumented Markstein.
	I also write about the demographic transformation of this country as well.
	So there's lots of kind of current issues bubbling and percolating around in that book.
	And Rush interviews me about it in the current issue of the Limbaugh letter.
	He calls me a gutsy aficionado, which I think is half complimentary and half a kind of dig, but you never know.
	Anyway, it's a terrific interview, and it's in the limbo letter.
	And you can pick it up by going to rushlimbore.com and subscribing either in print or digitally.
	Let us go to Tex from Texas.
	Tex from Texas in Fort Worth, Texas.
	You're live on America's number one radio show, Tex.
	Hey, Mark, how you doing?
	I'm doing good.
	How are you?
	Oh, pretty good.
	Enjoying our 70-degree weather down here.
	Oh, great.
	I'm in northern New Hampshire and there's snow on the ground.
	Well, the statement I've got is this.
	You know, I'm against illegal immigration, much as the next guy.
	I'm an independent, can't stand ultra-liberalism, but I also feel like ultra-capitalism ends up in the same result where there's a few people hollering, let them eat cake, and we all know how that goes.
	But my question, my statement on immigration is this.
	This is not a problem that started with the Obama administration.
	It's been around for decades and decades.
	When Reagan and the Republicans owned the White House and the seats, they didn't do anything about it.
	When Clinton had his party, they didn't do nothing.
	Bush, they didn't do nothing, and Obama didn't do nothing.
	So the thing is, it's kind of like prostitution.
	We all say it's a problem, but it's been around so long, it ain't going away.
	So all things being equal, and I haven't heard a single Republican actually say what they would like to do to stop the problem.
	So if nobody's going to stop the problem, what's the big deal about assigning some social security cards, getting them on the tax rolls, and letting them pay the way?
	Because all this stuff that we're graphing about, and I understand the complaints, I really do.
	But all the stuff we're complaining about, like, well, this is all these people using up, they're already using up the resources.
	So what's wrong with letting them pay some taxes and then go forward?
	And, you know, if we're going to deport all of them, deport all of them.
	But if we're not.
	Well, okay, Tex.
	Here's the thing.
	Most of them don't earn enough to make any meaningful contribution to the federal treasury.
	So you're legalizing people who will not be paying taxes, federal taxes, but will be eligible, as you say, you said give them a social security number, which entitles you to social security.
	So they're going to be added to the dependency side of the ledger rather than the profit side of the ledger.
	Second point, Tex, have you heard of this thing called chain migration?
	Do you know what that is?
	Oh, yeah, I know what that is.
	So what happens with these five million?
	These five million have siblings and parents and grandparents who will also be eligible now for legal status in the United States.
	You're in Fort Worth, Texas.
	Which part of the United States do you think?
	And I just, if you compare it to, you say this is like prostitution.
	It's always with us.
	Well, it's not in Australia, for example.
	In Australia, you have to be lawfully admitted to the country to live and work in the country.
	And they prioritize, because they're a first world economy, high-skilled workers.
	How many more?
	To get there.
	Well, no, they're not actually.
	They're next door to the most populous Muslim nation on earth.
	So on the fatalistic attitude that you in Texas have, Tex, Australia right now would be 75% Muslim if they took the same attitude as you.
	You don't get me wrong.
	I think we ought to deport them all.
	Really, I do.
	But that's not going to happen.
	And I still haven't heard Rush or you or anybody else.
	And believe me, what would you do?
	Because I haven't heard y'all say anything.
	All I've heard is what is wrong.
	Okay, I'll tell you what I'd do.
	Here's what I would do.
	First you have to secure the border, which means the state you're in, because it's a joke.
	Half the people, you say this problem goes back through Bush, Clinton, Bush 1 Reagan.
	In fact, half the illegal immigrants here, Tex, have arrived since September 11th, 2001, which means they broke into a country on permanent orange alert.
	Do you know how stupid that is?
	Do you know how ridiculous that makes the United States look in the eyes of the world?
	Do you realize how pointless it is, millions of law-abiding Americans doing the shoeless shuffle as pitiful broken sheep at every airport on Thanksgiving, while the border in a country and listening to those stupid announcements saying, the Secretary for Homeland Security has determined that today we are on Code Orange Alert, the thing that was recorded on September the 12th, 2001, and hasn't changed since.
	And half the people here broke into the country on Code Orange Alert since 9-11.
	So the first thing you do, and I'm not unreasonable here, but I think they should have the same security at the Mexican border as they do at the Canadian border.
	So you have a border.
	You have a border.
	And then you move to a point system that is designed to prioritize high-skilled immigrants for a first world country.
	It's horrible enough that so many Americans can only find work in low-skilled service jobs that are about to be rendered obsolete by technology.
	It's even worse that they have to compete for those low-skilled service jobs with illegal immigrants of the kind Hillary was praising at the New York Historical Society last week.
	So I then move to a point system and I would remove this entire immigration bureaucracy and replace it with a simplified and efficient legal immigration status so that we do not sentimentally fetishize lawbreakers who break into the country.
	Do you know how legal immigrants feel about the fact that when anybody in the media uses the term immigrants, Tex, they're meaning, in fact, law break.
	They're not talking about somebody sitting in Fiji or sitting in Tajikistan or sitting in Poland who applies for immigration to the United States.
	They're talking about a lawbreaker.
	And then when that's done, Tex, then I would deport the criminal elements of the illegal immigrant class.
	In other words, the illegal immigrants who kill people in hit-and-run accidents, who are members of drug gangs and all the rest of it, I would deport them.
	And the other ones I would put on the world's slowest path to legalization, a punitive one that does not reward them for the law-breaking text.
	Because when you incentivize bad behavior, you get more of it.
	And the president just rewarded 5 million people for bad behavior, and he's going to get more of it, Tex.
	So that's my plan.
	What's your story?
	And let me ask you this.
	What percentage do you think the next Republican president, who's likely to have Republican, is going to have anything close to what you're saying actually get done?
	Well, eventually he will have to, or there aren't going to be any more Republican presidents.
	He's not going to be any Republican or a Democrat within 20 years.
	I mean, every system collapses when they can't do nothing but stalemate.
	And that's what I'm saying.
	Yeah, but this doesn't have to collapse.
	And I've got, I don't want to keep plugging my book all the time, but I'm happy to do it because it's such a great, terrific book.
	But in my book, I have a chapter called Tribal America that looks at the demographic changes in your part of the world, Tex, in the southwestern United States in the last 40 years.
	This would be the kind of demographic transformation that would require genocide in Africa.
	In other words, in Rwanda, the Hutus, when the Hutus hacked away at the Tutsis, they're to actually get out the machetes and kill a bunch of people to change the demographic formula of the country as swiftly as has happened in California just through illegal immigration.
	In other words, this isn't normal.
	There's nothing natural.
	It's not like prostitution, as you said, Tex.
	It's the conscious decision of the ruling class of the United States to let this happen.
	In 1970, the non-Hispanic white population of California was 78%.
	In the 2010 census, it was 40%.
	Over the same period, the 10% Hispanic population quadrupled and caught up with the white population to 40%.
	As I said, in Africa, you'd have to do genocide to alter the demographic numbers that steeply.
	20 years ago, Rwanda was about 14% Tutsi.
	Now it's just under 10%.
	That's what the Hutu killing a bunch of people had to do to change the demographics.
	Here, so Tex, there aren't going to be any Republican presidents ever again.
	It's not going to be a problem for the next Republican candidate because two, three, four Republican candidates down the line, he ain't going to be important anymore.
	Nobody's going to be voting for him, Tex.
	So this is the national issue.
	This is the one that a lot of Republican candidates ran successfully on.
	We make jokes about the French.
	I'll end with a point about the French.
	We mock them as the French cheese-eating surrender monkeys, all the rest of it.
	Don Rumsfeld said, going to war without the French is like going hunting without an accordion, blah, blah, blah.
	We all know the jokes about the French.
	The French were very smart guys.
	They gave us a statue about liberty, a statue of liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty.
	And we stuck some lousy third-rate poem on the bottom of it and turned it into a statue about immigration and completely missed the point.
	Mass, uncontrolled immigration with a high welfare system and liberty are incompatible.
	Incompatible.
	And you will lose your country over it unless it's stopped.
	Markstein for Rush, more straight ahead.
	It is a statue of liberty.
	And you simply cannot.
	The idea that somehow sticking that lousy, stupid, give us your poor, huddled masses thing at the bottom of it means that every seven, any one of the seven billion people of the planet, if they can get here, they can stay here.
	That's basically what the president has changed the law to.
	If you can get here, you can stay here.
	And if you stay here, he'll give you a government number that will entitle you to all the benefits.
	The idea that you can have that and retain your liberty is absolutely nuts.
	And in that sense, I think it's a tragedy.
	It's a tragedy that so many Americans have no opportunities except low-wage service jobs, people who used to have wider range of employment opportunities, and now it's just working at Walmart.
	Now it's just working at Dunkin' Donuts, and you have to compete.
	And every day that goes by, they're bringing in more and more and more and more people to take even those jobs away from you.
	That is not a recipe for social harmony, and it's not something that the President of the United States should be encouraging.
	Mark Stein, in for us on the EIB network.
	Hey, one more thought on that banana-wielding man who's being charged with a felony for pointing a banana at two officers.
	Gene Goffin of Glade Park writes to the local paper in Colorado and warns, Don't carry a melon, it may be mistaken for a bomb.
	A pineapple may look like a large hand grenade.
	A pumpkin could be seen as a tactical nuclear device.
	One of those foot-long zucchinis could be a nightstick, and beans could be turned into a gas attack.
	Do not walk the streets of Colorado with fruit and vegetables, people.
	It could get pretty nasty for you.
	That's Gene Goffin from Glade Park in Colorado, responding to the arrests by sheriff's deputies of a man who pointed a banana at them.
	Whatever you do, don't go around pointing any fruits or vegetables at the president, or you'll just be taken out by the 40-car motorcade.
	This has been Mark Stein sitting in for Rush on this Black Friday.
	I've had a blast, as I always do.
	And I like the guy who said after hearing my disco version of Marshmallow World that he wasn't in favor of mass deportation for illegals until he heard that.
	I'm going to be at the Mark Twain House in Hartford, Connecticut on December the 8th, which is just about 10 days' time.
	It's being presented by the local Rush affiliate, WTIC, in Connecticut.
	And I look forward to seeing some of you there.
	Rush will be back live for a full week of authentic all-American excellence in broadcasting starting Monday.
