Yes, America's anchorman is away and this is your undocumented anchorman sitting in live from Ice Station EIB just a few moments south of the Quebec border in the northern eastern part of this great continent.
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 always love to see you.
So you do drop by.
I feel more foreign, I have to say, than I usually do reading these reports of what actually happened over the weekend because I don't even understand what's going on.
There was an election a month ago and the old Congress, the old legislature is still there.
This is the only country that happens in.
And in other countries, if you Australia that's in the news today, when an Australian Prime Minister loses an election, he moves out of his official residence within 24 hours and the new guy moves in.
Same thing in Canada, same thing in London.
When Mrs. Thatcher was defenestrated in 1990, boomfield, she's out, new person's in.
Here you've got this like two-month layover.
So that's roughly equivalent to 10% of the full term for which the Congress has been elected.
And what's the reason for that, Mr. Snerdley?
Is it because it was back in the old days before they invented the telegraph or whatever, that that's based on how long it took to ride a horse from the most remote congressional district to get to Washington in order to take your seat?
Is that the idea?
There's a two-month...
Yeah, so in other words, in those days, there may have been a reason for it, because the guy would win his election, then he'd have to get on his horse and ride all the way to Washington to take his seat.
And now everybody's flying around in all these private jets.
Actually, government jets, if you like Nancy Pelosi and half these other big shots, you're all flying around in government planes and they get there in nothing flat.
Yeah, we still have this two-month layover.
Why?
These are the guys who've been kicked out of office.
Why would you do a spending bill with Harry Reid's Senate rather than wait for Mitch McConnell's Senate?
I mean, that makes no sense.
The budget, again, and don't explain all the rules to me because the rules mean nothing.
Everybody picks and chooses rules.
And when you pick and choose rules, that means there are no rules.
The budget is supposed to be voted on in September.
That's only happened, I believe, twice in the last two decades.
So nobody votes on the budget in September anymore.
That doesn't happen.
That's gone.
That rule doesn't matter.
And yet somehow, the people who've just been kicked out of office, when you do decide to vote on the budget for the year, the people who've just been kicked out of office get to vote on it.
That makes no sense whatsoever.
And Larry in North Carolina was wondering what the point of all this was.
What's the point of going and voting for these guys?
Nothing is going to change.
Nothing is going to change until you have Republican leadership that wants transparent government.
Because when they do this stuff in the clear light of the day, light of the day, people see what's going on.
When it's all in these multi-thousand-page bills, it favors corrupt government.
Nothing good can come of it.
Nothing good can come of it.
There should not be 1,600-page bills.
They should have laws that ordinary people can read.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
That's supposed to be a basic understanding.
If you get into trouble on the streets of New York, you're supposed to know that it's illegal for a freeborn person to sell loose cigarettes on the streets of New York.
You're supposed to know that.
There are a bazillion laws, and you're supposed to know all of them.
And if you don't, then it can work out fatally for you.
You're supposed to know that there's some rinky-dink little law about not selling cigarettes loose on the streets of New York.
You're supposed to be...
You're supposed...
Well, they kill you if it doesn't matter.
They can kill you for anything, Mr. Snerdley, because the point is there's now a bazillion regulations.
The Department of Paperwork, I said on this show some years ago, I walked on air and I flew down to New York to do the show from where Mr. Snerdley is right now.
And I said I just received a letter that morning from the New York State Bureau of Compliance telling me that I was in non-compliance with the New York State Bureau of Compliance, and the fine for that was $12,000 or something.
Seemed an awfully round figure to me.
And so I said I was taking my life in my hands by flying to New York to guest host, to guest host for Rush.
And you never know.
The guy who enforces the Bureau of Compliance non-compliance law can come up to you in the street.
Maybe they've got a SWAT team.
Everybody is a SWAT team.
Every little rinky-dink paper pusher has his own SWAT team.
And so every little violation of the law, you can be dead if the Department of Paperwork SWAT team comes up and quizzes you about it on the streets.
You're supposed to ignorance of the law is no excuse.
The people who pass the laws of this nation are the most ignorant of all.
This 1,600-page bill, who read it?
I'm looking at a story that quotes Senator Orrin Hatch, Senator Jeff Flake, Senator Johnny Isaacson, Senator Harry Reid, Senator this, Senator that.
How many of the 100 senators do you think read this 1,600-page bill?
They're all going from staffers.
The staffers looked at it.
Do you think how many of their staffers read it?
How many of their staffers read it?
Actually, the whole thing, start to finish.
So what do you have?
You can't have clean government like that.
That's how you end up with special favors for Blue Cross Blue Shield in a bill that's supposed to be about government spending.
Blue Cross Blue Shield special favors have got nothing to do with government spending.
That should be in the Blue Cross Blue Shield special favors bill instead of on page 1602 of a continuing resolution for government spending through September.
This is dirty government.
This does not pass the smell test.
And nothing will change.
Nothing will change.
I remember speaking at a dinner.
Kay Bailey Hutchison was sitting just to my left.
And I got up and I said, with respect to the senator, that these multi-thousand-page bills were abhorrent to responsible government and to a citizenry that's supposed to be an informed and engaged citizenry that knows what it's voting on.
So everybody goes and votes on November the 4th and they discover a month later that they've voted for some special favor for Blue Cross Blue Shield tucked into page 1602 of a bill that's supposedly about government spending.
And nothing will ever change.
I don't even understand it.
So I'd like one of you native-born chappies to call up and talk me through what it actually means.
Mr. Snerdley sent me this story this morning from the Associated Press, right?
So that's in every newspaper in the country by Donna Cassata.
Ted Cruz's moves on spending bill Royal Republicans.
I can't make head or tail of it.
I can't understand it.
I can't understand.
Everyone's mad with Ted Cruz.
My own senator, Republican senator from New Hampshire, Kelly Ayo, is mad with Ted Cruz because she booked tickets with her daughter to go and see the Nutcracker.
And instead, she's having to spend her weekend in Washington watching the Republican caucus fail to crack any nuts whatsoever.
And she's mad at him.
Orrin Hatch is mad at him.
Johnny Isaacson, Republican of Georgia, is mad at Ted Cruz.
Isaacson said it was a movie he had seen before and wouldn't have paid money to see it again.
And they're saying that for some reason, because Ted Cruz wanted a vote on the unconstitutionality of the immigration moves by the president.
The president has unilaterally rewritten U.S. immigration law.
He doesn't have the power to do that, but that rule doesn't matter.
That doesn't matter.
He did it.
He did it.
This is, by the way, why things trend Democrat, because Democrats just do what they want.
And they don't worry about the rules.
So he does, the president's idea of law is what he can get away with.
And so he figures he can get away with this immigration amnesty and that what he can get away with trumps the U.S. Constitution.
And he's right about that, because when Ted Cruz had his vote, he lost 7422.
So in other words, people, even people who claim to find what the president did unconstitutionally are stringing along with him for the moment because they don't want to look bad and they don't want people to think they're shutting down the government and they don't want to be seen being friendly to Ted Cruz and all the rest of it.
So all these, the majority of the Republican caucus in the United States Senate actually is willing to string along on the unconstitutionality.
Unconstitutionality.
It's not just a policy difference.
It's about whether the president has the right to do it, whether he's acting beyond the law like some Latin American caudillo or Kim Jong-un when he has one of his uncles executed over in Pyongyang or some of these other one-man states.
The president thinks it's a one-man state and what he does trumps what the legislature does.
And 74 of the 100 United States senators are cool with that.
But the vote was delayed because Harry Reid then amazingly scheduled all these votes on various Obama nominees.
In other words, there was a vote on the guy for immigration and customs who would be for, what's it called, ICE.
The Associated Press story gets the initials wrong.
They change it to CIE, but it's ICE, I think.
He'll be the guy who's carrying out Obama's executive actions.
And so Harry Reid shoved in all these, all these, what does this even mean?
What does this mean?
Everyone thinks all this Byzantine procedural folderole is all extremely clever.
It's not.
It's dirty.
It's corrupt.
It's filthy.
And it's no way for a freeborn peoples to legislate its laws.
And that is what's wrong with it.
And that is why it doesn't matter electing John Boehner and Mitch McConnell to the highest offices if we get still the same multi-thousand page bills with still the same special favors that nobody has read before they vote on it with all kinds of stuff.
Basically now every bill has to be passed before you find out what's in it.
And that's what's wrong.
That's what's wrong with it.
And it's in a two-party system where one party has decided that the law means what it can get away with.
There ought to be another party that at least stands for integrity and transparency and laws that are short and are about what they purport to be and are read by the legislators who impose them on the people.
And if that's too much to ask for, then this country is done.
Mark Stein for Rush, back in a moment.
Mark Stein for Rush on America's number one radio show.
Let us go to Mark in Moran, Pennsylvania.
Did I say the name of that town correctly, Mark?
Moran?
Yes, Moran, Pennsylvania.
Great.
Great to have you with us.
What's on your mind today?
Well, you know, coincidentally, Dianne Feinstein released this report last week, a one-sided report, albeit.
And I'm not linking this guy in Sydney with her releasing the report.
Coincidence, I guess.
But, you know, we're supposed to have all this transparency.
She wants to leak the country's dirty laundry.
How about the fact that her and her husband don't have the same last names?
He's gotten all these no-bid contracts from the federal government over the years.
He got a Halliburton contract when she was bashing Dick Cheney for $650 million.
He's gotten all this money, non-disclosures.
No big contracts.
There's absolutely no transparency with the Democrat Party.
Well, that goes back to what I was saying earlier as well about the Swedes come by their big government honestly, and what's happening here doesn't.
But you said that this CIA report isn't connected, necessarily connected with what's happening.
I'm not connected to that.
What's happening?
No, no, I'll tell you how it's connected, Mark.
What that report does, and Diane Feinstein, who in some ways is one of the least ideologically insane members of the United States Senate on the Democrat side, you know, compared to Elizabeth Warren, who is running as an extreme left-winger openly, Diane Feinstein isn't.
And she likes to be taken seriously on national security issues.
What she has done in that CIA report, all kinds of American allies, including Australia, but also including countries in Europe and the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent and elsewhere, cooperated with the United States in the years after 9-11.
And they did so on the understanding that what they were doing to support and to help the United States would remain a secret.
War is an ugly business at the best of times, and you have to do things in war.
You have to do things to your enemies.
If you want to win wars, as opposed to just having them drag on for decades inconsequentially, you have to do things that are serious.
Well, like the guy from Georgia, I think, called in, we just keep voting for them, hoping that the Republicans are going to have some walnuts and stand up to these people.
And they continue to just throw it in our face.
They're really no different than the Diane Feinsteins of the world that will, you know, they'll take all the money, but they'll criticize everything else for actions they've been taking.
And I'll let you just want one more thing.
No, no, no.
One thing on that, though, Mark.
They were different.
The Republicans were different after...
What, in 94, 95?
Well, no, I'm talking about now about this CIA report.
On 9-11, I was very glad that George W. Bush was president and not Al Gore.
And I was very glad that America reacted seriously in those first few months to what was happening.
And I'm very glad that Dick Cheney, as he was saying on the Sunday shows, that they were serious about getting information of these guys.
When they got these fellas and they got them in their custody, they were serious about getting information out of them.
Because that's the only way you prevent things like this thing in Sydney happening.
If you interrogate the people you do have and something leads you to the start of a thread, and you pull on that thread, and it leads to some guy over in London, and that leads to some guy over in Yemen, and that leads to some guy over in wherever who's planning to do something to you.
The only way you can stop these guys is if you're serious when you get hold of them and you interrogate them, that you get valuable information out of that.
And actually, Mark, you know, nobody cares about this, the Diane Feinstein thing.
It's going nowhere.
It's got no traction.
People can, the left can bleat all the time about how, oh, it's a great shame we have to have this enhanced interrogation.
Do you know they blast the audio book of at Gitmo, they were blasting the audio book of Harry Potter to these poor little jihadists.
How culturally insensitive is that?
That you're some goatherd from Pushtun goat herd who's been picked up in Afghanistan and they take you to Gitmo and they're doing this culturally insensitive thing of playing the Harry Potter audiobook to you to audibly disorient you.
Oh, that's terrible.
That's terrible.
The best response to this is that, have you ever seen that film that Sasha Barron Cohen made, Mark, called The Dictator?
No.
Where it's got a very funny scene where he's being tortured by the Americans and he's going, he's like an Arab dictator and he's being tortured by the Americans.
And he's going, oh, are you still using this one?
The Saudis have moved on to the new model.
Everybody else in the world uses serious torture.
We play Harry Potter audiobooks loudly to Gitmo detainees and the left goes bananas.
It's pathetic, Mark.
Speaking of movies, you mentioned the one you were talking about earlier today with Sony that they made it.
Yeah.
And did you see when they leaked the emails that the females that were starring in the movie were not paid as much as the men?
Right.
That's great.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thanks for reminding me about that.
I love it.
They talk a good game, all these Hollywood liberals, but actually when it comes to it, when it comes to it, they're pulling all this stuff behind their back because there's actually no equality at Hollywood.
That's pure star power.
I'm better than you.
I get more money than you.
I don't care what identity group you belong to.
I'm me and I get more money than you.
I wish they applied that theory of the paramount individual in their actual work, but they don't.
We'll talk more about that on the Rush Limbaugh show straight ahead.
Mark Stein in for Rush.
If you go to RushLimbaugh.com, you need not be discombobulated by sinister foreign guest hosts because you can subscribe to the Limbaugh letter.
Well, that will discombobulate you a bit because it's got a big interview with me in the last issue, but it's a rollicking read and actually highly pertinent.
As I mentioned at the beginning of the show, I talk to Rush about the saddest elections are the ones that turn out not to matter, like the 2010 election.
The 2010 election was a big popular pushback against the Obama against the whole Obama project.
And Obama said, yeah, I don't care.
I'm going to do what I want anyway.
And people said it didn't matter because, you know, Republicans only controlled one house.
So what could they do?
Now we have another big pushback four years later, and this time it's John Baynis.
And eh, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
It's business as usual, business as usual.
There's got to be a change.
There's got to be a change.
Elections, it's a bad thing.
It's a bad thing to teach the electorate that elections don't have any consequences.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
I forgot about that.
If you subscribe to the Limbaugh Letter now, you can get the Rush Christmas ornament.
So you not only get a great interview with me, but you also get you can hang that on the tree, but it'll look lousy, actually.
You could cut it up and make it into decorative tinsel to drape on the tree, but it's a waste of a good interview.
So instead, subscribe to the Limbaugh Letter now and get the free Christmas ornament that will be an adornment to any tree.
You won't need to don your gay apparel.
People, don Renau our gay apparel.
It's from deck the hall with boughs of holly.
What is Mr. Snerdley is asking me what gay apparel is.
I mean, if you need to ask it your age, Mr. Snurdley, I mean, that is.
Don't tell me.
How far are you from wherever it is, Coconut Grove or whatever, down in Florida?
You know, I'm in New Hampshire.
We don't have, we've got plaid.
That's the worst kind of gay apparel.
Nobody likes it.
You walk into, you know, it's unless it's uniforms night.
Nobody likes you walking around in plaid with your Elmer Fudd hat on it.
It's terrible.
Anyway, Don Renao, you won't need to don your gay apparel if you get the Rush Christmas order, but when you subscribe to the Limbaugh letter.
I just want to follow up on something I was talking about with Mark when he was bringing up that CIA report.
And I was talking about America's allies who all helped.
People like the Aussies and a lot of murkier American allies, particularly in the Middle East and in Asia, who all helped out in the period after 9-11.
And they did so on the understanding that they were intelligence agencies dealing with another intelligence agency.
The idea that the CIA is just like the Department of Paperwork and you can just put everything that's in there out to the world.
It doesn't matter.
You don't need to wait for WikiLeaks or the Sony leaker will ensure that there is going to be less cooperation between Australian intelligence or MI6 in London or any of these fellas simply because they don't want to have it all stuck out in some report that Dianne Feinstein thinks is going to win her some points with the Democrat Party base.
So you're actually going to get less cooperation.
This CIA report is greatly disturbing to the intelligence agencies of American allies.
And that's the connection with what's happening in Australia.
The latest news, by the way, from that is that a 34-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman were killed in that hostage siege.
So two of the hostages are dead.
And as I said, they died because they went for a coffee.
And some guy bust in and decided that that was going to be the last day of their life.
And it's not quite that simple because in the 20 years since that guy was taken in in Australia, there have been all these other kinds of provocations.
As I said, he was calling up the widows and children of soldiers who'd been killed in Afghanistan.
He was sending them hate mail.
He was accused of setting up this sham spiritual thing to sexually molest women.
He is an accomplice in the murder of his ex-wife and all the rest.
There's all this kind of thing.
But he's basically got a 20-year trail of hatred for his adopted country.
We go to Major Hassan standing on the table shouting Allahu Akbar, killing 13 people and an unborn baby in what the Obama administration calls workplace violence.
And exactly the same, exactly the same thing at play there.
That's a guy who had given a PowerPoint presentation on what he was planning to do.
And all the Army brass and big shots who were sitting in that room watching his PowerPoint presentation, none of them wanted to complain about this guy, Captain Hassan, as he then was, because they'd have been tied up in sensitivity training hell for the next year and a half.
So instead, the guy got promoted to major and eventually wound up at Fort Hood and eventually wound up standing on a table gunning down those people.
You go to these guys, the Sarnaev brothers, the Boston Marathon, same thing.
They're taken in as refugees.
They're going on jihadist websites.
The FSB, the successor to the KGB in Moscow, fingers one of the guys to the Department of Homeland Security, who are too busy waving through undocumented Mexicans or whatever to pay any attention and do anything about it.
So that guy gets to explode his bombs at the Boston Marathon and blow a great big hole that will never heal through the lives of American families.
And that's why what Dianne Feinstein did is really quite contemptible.
Because if you're not prepared, there's two explanations for what's going on here.
And they go, the Democrats use whichever is convenient.
On the one hand, they say, no, no, no, this isn't a war.
It's law enforcement.
Well, okay, if it's going to be law enforcement, if you're not going to fight it with soldiers, you're going to fight it with just law enforcement.
That depends on intelligence.
That depends on breaking up plots before they happen.
Otherwise, a lot of planes are going to be dropping out of the skies.
A lot of skyscrapers are going to be smoking ruins.
There's going to be a lot more people like the victims of this guy in the Sydney coffee shop and the victims of Major Hassan at Fort Hood and the victims of the Sarnaevs in Boston.
And so if you're going to find out about these things in advance, you've got to be able to do that to the fullness of your ability.
And yet, Dianne Feinstein simply thinks that the CIA should be as actually not as transparent as the Department of Paperwork, more transparent than the Department of Paperwork.
Apparently, the Democrat position is that the intelligence agency, you know, nothing else, all the Obamacare stuff was kept secret.
Agruber and Obama are yucking it up and saying, hey, we're certainly putting one over on you stupid American rubes and patses, but you ain't going to find out about it until it's too late.
That's how it comes to processing your healthcare policy.
But when it comes to intelligence agencies, apparently they've got to be far more transparent than Obamacare or any of that kind of stuff.
And as I said, these things have real consequences.
This 34-year-old man and 38-year-old woman did not deserve to die for a delusion, which is what the modern multicultural society is.
They died.
They were sacrificed on the altar of Western governments' delusion since the Second World War that an advanced developed Western nation is like Gate 73 at LAX.
It just happens to be whoever's standing in it.
It doesn't make any difference.
And that means that It doesn't in this country we see it in the young Somali men in Minnesota who've volunteered to go off and fight for ISIS.
In London, you see it in the young Nigerian converts to Islam who butchered that guy in the street.
In Australia, you see it in this so-called self-styled Muslim cleric who takes hostages in this coffee shop.
And it's only possible to do that because of the delusion that there is no difference.
It's essentially the Rama philosophy, that there's no difference between anyone.
There's no difference between Rama and Kim Jong-un.
There's no difference between a nice lady listening to morning edition on NPR in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the Dagestani refugees down the road in the same town planning to blow up the Boston Marathon.
That everybody is all the same.
And that's what Obama preaches whenever he says there's no Islam seehah.
That's what John Kerry does when he says there's no Islam Sierra.
I mean, why does John Kerry know?
I know enough to know this gets back to Rumsfeld and his known knowns and unknown knowns and known unknowns.
And we know what we know and we know what we don't know, but we don't know what we don't know and all the rest of it.
I know enough to know I don't know about Islam.
And I respect Islam enough not to issue pronouncements on its behalf.
John Kerry and Barack Obama and David Cameron go around talking like big shot imams.
You know, what madrasa did John Kerry go to that he feels confident he can pronounce on what is and isn't Islam?
But the result is that this 34-year-old man and this 38-year-old woman, who nobody will remember their names except their friends and family, but they died, they were sacrificed on the altar of the multicultural delusion that Western governments have peddled basically since the 1960s now.
Mark Stein for Rush, we'll take your call straight ahead.
Also in this Kromnibus bill was a rule requiring more whole grains in school lunches and suspending the lower sodium standards due to take effect in 2017.
Now, okay, so we've got an approvals for government spending to finance the government, to fund the government until September 2015.
What have lower sodium standards due to take effect in 2017 to do with that?
To do with that?
I'm opposed to Michelle Obama's the Commissar of School Lunches ruling every schoolhouse from Maine to Hawaii with an iron rod.
But that's got nothing to do with government funding through September 2015.
It's unclean, a government.
Unclean, as the Islamic guys like to say about us infidels.
That's the way I feel about government today.
Let's go to Alan in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Alan, it's great to have you on the show.
Oh, thank you, Mr. Stein.
First of all, I want to thank you for being the absolute best undocumented guest host in all talk radio.
Well, I gather that's an extremely uncompetitive category.
Yeah, well, if you're if you have to have one Irish, Belgian, Canadian illegal immigrant host your show, this is the one to go for.
Okay, I'll uh I'm a first-generation American via Scottish parent, though I feel you, brother.
Okay, I'll take that compliment, Alan.
What's on your mind today?
I mean, your conversation earlier with Mr. Rama, I don't know what his name was.
I mean, I appreciate his idealism almost as much as I appreciate your realism.
You know what I mean?
But the one thing you didn't bring up with the dude was What he thought government's role played in his pacifistic ideology.
You know, everybody, nobody wants war.
Nobody wants death.
I mean, he was just reiterating what we all feel at our underlying basis.
And you were trying to, you know, parlay realistic scenarios onto him, and he just couldn't engage.
He didn't understand any of what you were saying, Mark.
And, you know, the difference between the one elephant in the room, so to speak, was government's role.
What is government's role in that?
Does government contribute to freedom, or does government take away from freedom?
And that's something Mr. Ram Roma never addressed at all.
And he didn't bring it up, I mean, to his credit.
No, he didn't.
But, you know, I think his view is basically that there is no government, that there's a sort of planet-wide, there's a planet-white human consciousness.
And that's why he equals peace.
Yeah, and he thinks we're all citizens of the world apart from anything else.
And therefore, and he, and he, by the way, that's such a lazy thing.
I mean, if you're Keen Rottenberry 101, you know what I mean?
Yeah, but it's also, you know, you should respect other people enough to know they're not the same as you.
The idea that everyone is like Rama, that somehow sending Dennis Rodman to schmooze Kim Jong-un will turn Kim Jong-un into Rama is a delusion.
And the fact is, if everybody, if you have, everybody takes Rama's view that we can all live in peace and we should never lift a gun and target it at an enemy, then what happens then is that the Kim Jong-uns and the crazy guy in Sydney will win and they will be kings on a field of corpses.
And I'm not a clever guy, Alan.
And I think in one of my books, I quote one of my favorite couplets on the theme, which actually is the last word in pacifism.
It's Hilaire Belloc almost a century ago.
Pale Ebenezer thought it wrong to fight, but Roaring Bill, who killed him, thought it right.
And that's how it will go for Rama, too.
Nice pacifist Rama thought it wrong to fight, but Kim Jong-un, who killed him, thought it right.
And that's how it goes for pacifists every time.
Because in the end, peace is not, as Rush always says, is not the natural condition of the planet.
The world we live in of an advanced, developed society where we can all obsess about little electronic trinkets.
And have you seen Justin Bieber's new music video?
That's a luxury.
It's not the natural state of the planet.
And Alan makes the point about government's role in this.
Government can at least do its best not to encourage the delusions of people like Rama.
Hilaire Belloc said it almost a century ago.
Pale Ebenezer thought it wrong to fight, but Roaring Bill, who killed him, thought it right.
So Roaring Bill wins, Kim Jong-un wins.
The Islamic lunatic in that Sydney coffee shop wins if you go down the path that Rama's prescribing.
Mark's time for Rush.
We'll close things out in just a moment.
Well, it's been such a heavy news today.
I forgot to plug my Christmas CD.
But remember, folks, if I don't get big royalties from that, the IRS can't take it to fund their SWAT team.
So you know it makes sense.
Go out and go out and grab yourself my Christmas CD and help to keep big government big and bloated because that's the message of the season.
I've had a great time, always have a great time here.
