Time Text
Yes, the season of guest hosts is upon us.
It's uh Christmas Eve.
And this is Mark Stein, your undocumented anchor man sitting in for America's Anchorman, who is away.
Uh tomorrow, Christmas Day, we have three hours of EIB approved Christmas music for you.
Only the very best.
You will be in the safest musical hands for your Christmas festivities if you choose as your musical accompaniment, the EIB network.
And then uh Monday, uh the great Mark Belling will be here behind the golden EIB microphone.
Uh there's a s there's a story 1-800-282-2882 is the number to call if you'd like to join us on the show today.
We're tuck kind of doing uh open line Christmas Eve.
So if you if you want to break the bounds of uh the program content so far and raise an entirely new subject, do feel free to do so.
1-800-282-2882.
Uh we've been we've been talking about uh Trump's lies and why the Washington Post fact checker can't seem to pin one on him, and why the fact checkers check what he says and it doesn't make any difference to his rise in the polls.
Here's a story.
This is just like you can find stories like this kind of every every day in one part of the country or another, one part of the Western world or another.
Uh an FBI agent uh reporting, uh this was on WCCO.com uh from uh WCCO in uh Minneapolis St. Paul's, a twin Syriat Cities terror suspect, who once worked at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport, told another suspect he had the ability to build rockets that could take down planes at two thousand feet.
Uh this testimony came from an FBI agent during a hearing on Tuesday for Abdurizak Warsain.
Uh it's to determine whether he should remain in jail pending the outcome of his case.
He's the tenth guy in Minnesota, or the tenth young Minnesotan.
I think you should put Minnesotan in quote marks there, uh, to be charged in the last year with trying to join ISIS.
And where did he work?
Uh well, from December 2013 to April 2014, he worked uh at the uh Minneapolis St. Paul's Airport.
He had a security badge to work on de-icing the planes.
And from April to August, he had another security badge to work for Swissport, which is a baggage and cargo handling company uh that handles uh the baggage for a lot of the big international airlines flying out of Minneapolis St. Paul's.
So the guys who we have spent a fortune.
We've created the Transport Security Administration.
You shuffle through the lines for hours and hours.
If you're flying home for Christmas, you know what it's like.
God help you if you're somewhere like O'Hare today or if you're at LaGuardia or if that's one of the other things Trump is good about, about the decay in America's airports.
Uh th there's no system.
It looks like 9-11 happened last week, and they put up some uh uh some trestle tables and they're just improvising and they haven't yet got the full new system there.
But you'll be shuffling shoeless through those airports.
Uh and in the meantime, the guys they're hiring to de-ice the planes are terrorist suspects who boast to their friends that they can build rockets that can take down planes at 2,000 feet, which is what Abdurizak Warsaim did uh in Minnesota.
Uh he worked at the Minneapolis St. Paul's Airport.
And and you know, when that Russian plane disappeared out of the sky uh got uh and wound up all over the uh desert in Egypt.
People thought, well, it was taken off from Sham El Sheikh.
Shamel Sheikh is a big vacation destination, very popular with Europeans, with Russian tourists, and people think, well, you know, uh the the the thought is that it was an inside job, that one of the baggage handlers or someone else working at Sham al Sheikh Airport uh got something on the plane, and that's why the plane blew up and all these dead people all over the Egyptian desert.
And they're saying, well, you know, Shamel Sheikh Egypt, what do you expect?
So The tourism business in Shamel Sheikh is dead.
The Europeans, the Russians, they don't want to go anymore.
What you have to ask yourself is actually whether it's any better at Minneapolis St. Paul's, where uh they're employing ISIS supporters to de-ice the planes, and it doesn't even make the news.
I got this out of WCCO, which I take it is some TV station in Minneapolis.
And uh you don't hear it on the uh ABC News, the CBS News, the NBC News, and if you did, Obama would be there saying, well, they're just covering this stuff because they want to arouse people's fears of ISIS because they're just uh they're just chasing ratings.
That's what he says.
When you mention ISIS, when you're covering ISIS, you're just chasing ratings.
So on the one hand, we have a situation where it turns out that uh Minneapolis St. Paul's is hiring people to de-ice the planes who are ISIS supporters who are wanted on terrorist conspiracy charges.
Uh and on the other hand, you have Donald Trump saying, Well, look, this is all very complicated.
Maybe we should have a halt to Muslim immigration.
On the one hand, you have John Kerry and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama saying there's no Islam to see here.
This is nothing to do with Islam.
Whatever it is, we don't know what it is.
We agree with you that there seem to be a lot of body parts all over the street uh now and again in major Western cities.
But whatever is the reason for it, it's nothing to do with Islam.
That we can rule out.
We can't rule anything else in right now, uh, but uh it's violent extremism, it's a problem with the second amendment.
They don't have the second amendment in Paris, but uh maybe they got something like it that also uh caused that outbreak of violent extremism over there.
Uh but whatever it is, it's nothing to do with Islam.
And here's Donald Trump saying, uh, if that's the case, if we really are not in a position to tell uh the tiny tiny teeny weenie minimal percentage of uh people working at Minneapolis airport de icing the planes who are ISIS supporters.
If we if we really don't have the capacity to tell which of our plane deicers at American airports is an ISIS supporter, maybe it is necessary just uh just uh uh as he says, call a halt to immigration until we can figure out what's going on.
And that's what makes him the crazy guy, and that's what makes him the crazy guy.
Every single country in the Western world has massively expanded Muslim immigration uh since nine eleven.
Because our reaction to nine eleven was that the most important thing to do was to demonstrate how nice we were, how multicultural and diverse we are.
And the most important thing, when three thousand people get killed in the heart of your cities, the most important thing is to demonstrate to the world uh that you're so nice and you certainly aren't judgmental.
And so the best thing you can possibly do is actually increase immigration from Muslim countries.
That would have s that would strike.
I mean, people say, oh, well, we shouldn't have interned Japanese people during the Second World War.
Uh we shouldn't have done that.
Today, what would happen is that would we would increase Japanese immigration during the Second World War, Churchill's response uh to the uh problems with Nazi Germany would be to increase immigration from Germany during the Second World War.
Uh FDR's response would be to increase immigration from Japan.
And and we uh and we would have a a situation where, yeah, exactly, there'd be all those little thrillers they used to make about the what was it, they what would they call the German American Bund and all these uh people uh that they were suspending all that kind of that world has gone.
There are no enemies.
There are just friends whose legitimate grievances we haven't yet accommodated.
And that's all there is in the world today.
And that is how you end up people say, oh Shamel Sheikh, you've got to be crazy going to an right, all these Russians vacationing in uh an Egyptian airport.
What the hell were they thinking?
Of course those airports are they're not first world airports.
Anyone can work as a baggage handler there.
Who the hell do you think is working as a baggage handler at Minneapolis St. Paul's.
That is the world we have made.
And that is why nothing Donald Trump says doesn't work for him.
It doesn't matter whether it's wrong, right, whether it's got seven Pinocchios, whether it's got seven thousand Pinocchios from the Washington Post, our world is so mad that there is nothing he can say that wouldn't work for him in the present circumstances.
And George Will takes the long view here.
And he's got in his column today, which is just merciless, uh, where he's saying that this would be the biggest setback.
Uh it would be the end of the Conservative Party in America.
And he says the Conservative Party, after Barry Goldwater's defeat, it won five of the next seven presidential elections.
The Conservative Party in America won five of the next seven presidential Americ uh uh presidential elections in America.
And yet, oddly enough, America since nineteen sixty-four has got a hell of a lot less conservative.
And uh things that people now you can be uh now you could be prosecuted.
People can the government can ruin your life.
The the the commissar of pronouns for New York City has told restaurateurs that they could face fines if they accidentally direct a transgendered person to the wrong bathroom.
What the hell is conservative about that?
Uh if if we have had all these tremendous conservative victories since 1964, how come America is unrecognizable from uh the America of 1964?
Well, what's George Will's answer to that?
Uh and that's the di that's the difference.
The the people uh unfortunately for the donor class in uh in the in the Republican Party.
The donor class, they wouldn't have voters.
They wouldn't waste time with the base if they didn't have to have a base.
But you need crowd scene extras once every other Tuesday in November, once every other November on a Tuesday, you need masses of crowd scene anchor uh crowd scene extras.
Millions and millions of them.
You just need them to go into voting booths uh and uh and plump for the guy with an R next to his name.
That's all the donor class needs you losers for.
Everything else you can leave to the donor class.
But every other November on a Tuesday morning, they need you to go down to your school gym and pull a lever for some guy that they've decided knows best for you losers.
And why the hell you millions of uh uh uh uh of crowd scene losers don't understand that you're just a non-speaking extra and the donor class are got this sorted out.
They've got it settled.
Jeb Bush is a brilliant candidate.
He's got a hundred million dollars.
Do you think they'd give a hundred million dollars to Jeb Bush if he wasn't the smartest genius guy on the planet?
The fact that he's got no skills at retail politics, that's ridiculous to complain about that.
The fact that he thinks illegal immigration is an act of love, that's ridiculous about that.
The fact that his brother launched a highly unpopular war, and when he's asked about it on television, a hundred million dollars can't buy you a speech writer who can write you some stupid answer that'll get you off the hook when you're asked about the war your brother started that's highly unpopular and might come up in conversation.
The donor class knows better than you no name losers.
All you have to do is every other November trudge down to your town hall, trudge down to your school gym, look for the guy that they've chosen with the R after his name, and plump your lever for that guy.
That's it.
It's a non-speaking part.
Nobody's interested in hearing what you think about immigration, nobody's interested in hearing what you think about government debt, nobody's interested in hearing what you think about anything.
They know best.
And that's why the conservative movement, the conservative party, the conservative government that the donor class has chosen for you, has done such a brilliant job in conserving American values this past half century.
Mark's time for Rush, more straight ahead.
Santa Claus is come into town.
Let us go to uh Mike in Virginia Beach.
Yes, uh, yes, Santa, there is a Virginia Beach.
Mike, it's uh great to have you with us on the Megadinos from a retired U.S. Marine Corps Cobra gunship pilot from Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Hey, mega dittoes to you too, Mike.
Merry Christmas.
Hey, first, real quick, I am honored to talk to the greatest political writer of the twenty first century, what rush is to the spoken word, you are to the written word.
That's uh That's a very uh subtle and kind of backhanded compliment, but I'll uh I'll uh I'll take it, Mike.
That's uh that's really caller talking about maybe you know guests hosts and temporary thing, and well, you know how that goes.
Yeah, no, no, no.
I know it's m it's murder, it's murder.
I mean, it's like the second hour, and it's the second hour of the second day, a guest host.
You think what it's gonna feel like by January 23rd, you're gonna be crawling up the wall.
It's just like uh nuts.
But uh what's what's on your mind other than the quality of the guest hosts, Mike.
Well, um uh just I want to comment on George Will's comment that if Trump gets the nomination, there will not be a conservative party.
And I think he mentioned that specifically Conservative Party.
That's right.
Now I'm I've always liked George Will, and I'm not a big Trump supporter, but I wish somebody would ask George Will, what's the Conservative Party we have now?
Is it the one that just proved the omnibus spinning bill?
Tell me, where's our Conservative Party?
Yeah, I think that I think that's fair.
And I again I I don't dislike George Will.
You you were talking about writing.
George Will is a beautiful and elegant and informed writer.
And there's all kinds of historical facts in this column.
It's uh yeah, an elegant he's an elegant man.
He's an elegant writer, he speaks elegantly, he's uh he's much more together than I am in this situation, Mr. Sturdley.
Well, I don't know.
And and he's but but what he's missing here is that he doesn't understand how the Republican Party looks if i if you're a guy uh who's sitting in some town where there is no economic opportunity, where your kid wants to go to college to do some stupid course you've never heard of that's gonna cost you a six-figure sum to get there, and there's not going to be any job for him at the end of it.
There are people who are kind of inside the i George Will is inside a psychologically gated community here, and he's not uh too clear on what life is like outside the walls, Mike.
I I like that psychologically dated community.
Yeah, well, it's uh it I think that's pretty much it, actually.
Well well, to to close and and according, I think I think to quote Mr. Trump, I think, when asked the best book he ever read was the Bible, and I would honestly agree to that.
But I think after America is certainly in the running for second place.
Yeah, that I'll buy that quote.
If you only buy one book this year, says Donald Trump, make it the holy Bible.
If you buy two books, make it the holy Bible and Mark Stein's after America.
I will take that endorsement, Mike.
That's uh that's that's very good of you.
There's a serious point to what what George Will is is saying here.
And and the point that uh George Will is making is if you take a flyer on Trump, it could all come crashing down around you.
But the only reason people are willing to take a flyer on Trump is because uh Mike Murphy, the guy who runs uh Bush's super pack, the hundred million dollar pack, said uh said Trump is a zombie front runner.
In fact, the zombie front runner turned out to be Jeb Bush, and the zombie party turned out to be the Republican Party.
The Republican Party is uh I don't know whether it's a zombie, but it's like one of those amusing uh Frenchmen of the 1890s used to sit in the uh in the cabarets watching the girls undress, and he seems very nice and charming and sophisticated, but he's riddled with tertiary syphilis inside, and he's about to collapse.
And that is the state of the Republican Party.
It is that it that is what the the Republican the Republican Party has brought this upon itself.
And there are reasons for that.
As I said, every other Western nation has a fluid party system.
The Canadian election uh a few weeks ago, uh, if you uh lived in wherever you lived in uh if you live in Quebec, you had five parties on the ballot, of which only one is older than fifty years old.
Uh the can the Conservative Party, uh so-called, is a new party from this century.
The the Bloc Quebecwise 20 years old.
Uh the Socialist Party is about for 50 years old.
They're all new the parties come and go in any kind of fluid system.
Um in in uh the United Kingdom in the eighteen sixties when America's party system froze, every single constituency in uh England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales was held by either a conservative or a liberal.
And then lots of Irish nationalist parties started, and then Scottish Nationalist Parties, and then the Labour Socialist Party, and now the it's like one crazy quilt, and and Northern Ireland as parties, you know, it's got like new parties splitting up into party after party after party every uh you you don't even know where they're coming from.
America has the same frozen two party system, and one of them is outlived its usefulness.
Hey, it's great to be with you.
But don't forget, if you are terrified I'm I'm slightly I didn't really mean it when I said Rush wasn't returning till March 27th.
I'll be getting these emails from people saying, Oh my god, is that true?
I don't think I can take much more of it.
No, I meant it I meant it as a it was a bit of whimsy on my part.
I didn't mean for you to take it seriously.
There's there's affiliates cancelling the show all across the country.
They're saying, Oh, why can't we get soft and easy favourites?
We'll have Celine Dion back to back for 25 minutes, anything.
No, no, no, no.
He he will be back before March the twenty-seventh.
You don't need to worry about that.
In fact, yesterday he was I was shocked uh to get a message from Rush during the show yesterday, because he could have actually been here.
He was near the EIB microphone in Florida, like wrapping Christmas presents or something ridiculous.
Um but he is I'm I'm assured that he is actually uh uh uh uh cleared out uh cleared out of there today.
Uh so he is on a genuine vacation.
So give the guy a few days off, uh real days off before you start complaining, folks.
And don't forget if you go to Rush Libble.com, if you need that last minute present, uh then uh you can get a rush twenty-four-seven subscription for the loved one in your family, or a subscription to the Limbaugh Letter, which features terrific interviews that Rush conducts uh with leading uh figures in the Conservative movement, such as Ted Cruz, and those gifts last all year round.
So it's not like uh it's too late now.
You can't go out the the malls, they've got some protests at the uh the Mall of America in Minnesota there to Black Lives Matter thing.
There's no point, even if you can get through the traffic, the mall will be ablaze by the time you get there.
It'll be looted.
There'll be nothing left in the windows except my cat album, which is the only thing the looters don't want.
So don't waste your time going to the mall.
Instead, get the loved one in your family a subscription to Rush 24-7 or a subscription to the Limbaugh Letter.
Now, Mr. Snerdley was yelling at me uh during the break, my little riff on how frozen the party system is here.
Uh because he said, Well, what's the difference?
Uh the uh in in Canada you just and uh end up with some effete pansy loser like Justin Trudeau, and in London you just end up with some effite pansy loser like David Cameron, and in Paris you just end up with some effite pansy loser like Francois Hollande.
So what difference does it make having all these parties?
And there's uh there's a point to that, uh although I would say uh one of the differences is at least you get the effite pansy loser over and done within six weeks.
You have a six-week campaign.
The the problem here is that as the uh election process has got longer and longer and longer, so you have a kind of three-year election campaign.
You know, it basically the minute after the Romney loses, everybody who wants to be president basically starts putting in place the elements of their campaign.
And you cannot have a Republican you can have Republican government if you have short campaigns and candidates like Calvin Coolidge.
But you cannot have a three-year election campaign in a republic and expect people to be interested in a fight in a bitterly fought out fight between Jim Gilmore and Lindsay Graham.
They're not gonna follow that for three years.
It's like the world's dullest reality show.
Nobody they're the rest of the time they're watching keeping up with the Kardashians, and then you're saying, Oh, why are you watching keeping up with the Kardashians for the next three years you can watch keeping up with the Patakis?
Nobody's gonna go there.
Nobody's gonna do it, nobody's gonna be interested.
And sooner or later, a guy like Trump was going to realize uh that the American presidential nominating process was a really bad reality show, just ripe for a relaunch.
And that's what he basically did to it.
The system invites that.
The system invites that.
And I will say this as well.
Here's the danger.
The other thing Mr. Snorley was yelling at me about was about this consulted industrial complex that you have here, where everybody's doing these turnout models.
You pay all these you pay all these geniuses to uh to come and advise you and do the rest.
Again, they largely don't exist in other countries.
So you can be a loser.
You can be a loser a lot cheaper in most countries than you can here.
Here being a loser is very asked Jeb Bush.
He's the most expensive loser in elected politics in the history of politics.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe uh uh maybe if you went back to the early days of the Roman Republic, there was some really disastrous candidate.
But other than that, I don't he's the most expensive loser ever, ever.
Now, you look at most of these guys don't exist.
In Australia, for example, they have compulsory voting.
So you don't need to hire Dick Morris to come up with a turnout model, because the turnout model is a hundred percent.
So there's no room for a Dick Morris there.
Now, here, here the turnout model is important because there's actually relatively low voter participation.
No one who isn't Iowan or who lives in a caucus state understands the way these caucuses vote.
I don't understand the way the I live in New Hampshire.
I know how a primary votes.
I don't understand how a caucus state votes.
Uh but it's very but the tiny num percentage of people who will determine the winner in Iowa, that's a tiny, tiny proportion of the number of people that there are in the state of Iowa.
Uh so who gets to participate in those in that caucus is critically important, and we don't know.
It could be that Trump loses really badly, because the people who support Trump are not the kind of people who know all the ins and outs of what you have to do to go and stand in somebody's living room during a caucus.
Uh that's what happened to Howard Dean.
Howard Dean had uh Howard Dean was at 38%, I think the same as Trump the the night before the Iowa caucus, and they all turned out to be young college kids who thought they could vote by uh leaving a a comment on uh their friend's Twitter feed.
And they didn't realize that you had to actually go, you had to caucus and you had to go and sit in some guy's, you know, stand in the corner in some living room or something.
They didn't understand that.
They didn't do that.
So Howard tr Howard Dean dead after Iowa.
Uh New Hampshire's the opposite.
It has an open primary system so that independents can vote in a Republican primary.
And what nobody uh what alarms people is that Trump is appealing to all these people who don't usually vote in primaries.
And it's easy to vote in New Hampshire, and if all these people go and uh and vote in the Republican primary, then all the turnout models that Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio have paid a gazillion dollars to their consultants to come up with will be entirely irrelevant.
And that's f that's the most fascinating part of this.
There's people who do not participate in politics at all.
They're not terribly political, they're not interested.
The disputes that politicians, you know, the politicians argue about are not of interest to them.
But they've taken notice of this.
And uh if they vote in New Hampshire, then that will change the game and that will render all the turnout models irrelevant.
But but what it what is uh to go back to what I said about Mike Murphy, essentially the zombie here is the are the conventions of primary politics in the United States.
And uh you c you cannot have a three-year process and expect and and and again there's an element of s sophistication about this, that when they have, you know, oh Lindsey Graham, who do you like?
Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, well, I don't know, I'm a little bit I'm looking more towards Jim Gilmore myself.
You cannot have that and hold uh interest for three years.
And and the turnout consultants know that, so their whole point is to depress turnout so that only the hardcore Jim Gilmore and George Pataki fans are left in the primary system.
And Trump has recognized that what we have here is a really bad reality show and he has essentially waddled in with a suicide bomber belt and blown the whole thing up.
And whatever th th the the George Wills think that they can somehow re uh regain control of this thing before New Hampshire.
And the question is who's going to be their candidate?
Who's going to be the guy that enables them to regain control?
Is it Marco Rubio?
Well he's uh he's actually starting to f to to falter in the polls.
Is it going to be Kasich?
Well people don't really rub people up the wrong way.
He looks like he's been sleeping in a dumpster for a week.
They're not going to go for him.
Is it uh is it is it gonna be Chris Christie?
Well he's upset people 'cause uh people remember him embracing Obama.
They need someone.
They need a s they're looking for someone who can wrestle this thing back from Trump.
It's getting near to Iowa it's getting near to New Hampshire and they haven't found him yet.
Mark Stein for Rush, we will take your call straight ahead.
Mark Stein for Rush behind the golden EIB microphone on Christmas Eve, let us go to Jane in Scottsdale, Arizona, where uh legions of Canadians uh just upon about to descend on that poor metropolis for the next three months.
Jane, it's great to have you uh with us.
Uh what's on your mind today?
Well thank you for taking my call.
I um I noticed the left and the liberal media have got their panties in a wad over uh Donald Trump saying that Hillary got schlonged.
So I think in order to calm them we should just from now on say that she got trumped.
She got trumped big time Yeah I think we should try and introduce that well the the the problem with uh when you say that Hillary got schlonged is that her media matters uh guy uh David Brock said that it's code for Obama is a black rapist.
So if you say that she got Trump then it's it's just like uh white male sexual braggadocio.
So that's that's that's certainly better term.
You know you get outplayed.
You take your best shot and then you lose.
Yeah no no that's that's uh that's true and as Teddy Roosevelt said uh speak uh speak softly and carry a big schlong or carry a big Trump.
Uh and beat them soundly about the head and shoulders That's right.
That's right.
Who who who you leading since it's Christmas Eve and just between us we won't tell Santa who are you leading towards right now Jane?
Oh Trump's the guy.
He's the guy.
Now what do you say to when George Will says this man will single handedly destroy the entire conservative movement.
Well that's already been taken care of let me see Boehner comes to mind uh John McCain John McCain gives me a rash.
Yes well that's I'll put I'll put him on the naughty list just for that.
Uh the uh but you're you're right but you know what George Will the defense of the George Will argument is that John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, these are people who as you say they're destroying the conservative movement, but they're doing it incrementally.
They're just doing it three percent at a time, four percent of a time so that it takes several election cycles before you notice that the entire conservative movement is dead.
What George Will objects to is that Trump is just going to destroy the whole thing basically when he makes his speech at the convention as I said beware of the military industrial complex what's really happening is the elections are bought.
This is an election complex and what George Will I think is really afraid of is people like Donald Trump who aren't putting the money into it are winning it.
Yeah it is all goes back to the money personally Yeah he has done something he because he hasn't spent a dime except for what he spends on those make America great again baseball hats.
He has run the world's the certainly America's cheapest presidential campaign.
He hasn't had to buy a single ad sixty percent of the ads in New Hampshire have been bought by Jeb Bush and he like loses uh seven thousand uh primary voters for every ad that goes out.
Then there's the the Rubio one where he talks about the second American century.
Uh and that again that's just general that's just general cliche country and that that's not uh ringing any bells with anybody.
One one of the interesting questions I just touched on it in the last uh uh part though, Jane, is who eventually they've got to make a choice between the establishment candidate.
If you look at the way it went last time round, it was Romney and the unrom.
And the person in the unromney role changed every couple of weeks.
And uh it was Michelle Bachman after Ames Iowa and then it was Rick Perry and then it was Herman Kane and then it was Newt Gingrich and the unrom changed every couple of weeks, but the Romney stayed the same.
Uh so there was Romney as Mr. Mainstream and then all these other people coming along.
It's the exact opposite this time.
We we have Trump who stays the same and the unTrump who is going to be the mainstream guy?
Is it going to be Rubio?
Is it going to be Jeb?
Is it going to be Kasich?
Is it going to be Christie?
And I don't know.
Uh there's problems with all those four choices, but they got to settle on.
Let's let's go to John in Crofton, Maryland.
John, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Merry Christmas.
Joyos, Joy Yors, Noel.
Joyeux Noel.
You're if you're gonna come Navidad.
Yeah, yeah.
If you're gonna try Natalie.
My nationality.
I'm Italian American, proud of it, and we never owned any slaves.
We came here after the f uh slaves were freed in the early 1900s.
It's a direct insult to any immigrants that came here and are being blamed and given this title white privilege that, you know that's the reason that they justify the fact that blacks who were here before everybody else uh still suck as far as the economy is concerned.
It's their own damn fault.
But uh I wanted to get back to George I'll ask I'll ask Mr. Snerdly uh about that but you're a friend of he's a friend of mine he knows how I feel your uh your your reparations demand from the IRS just went up thirty percent for that answer so that may not work out but uh okay here's what and and actually it's uh come on the Italians did keep slaves.
I've seen all those Roman epics where they're like pulling the emperor in uh those new b Nubian slaves you Romans had uh slaves from Nubia what the hell are you on about?
Our our ancestry doesn't go back that far.
But anyway now you're now you're playing the Nubian card, aren't you?
Okay.
Okay what's what what what what else is well as a neighbor of mine.
I live in the Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington area I've been here for over fifty years.
Right.
And I remember and I used to travel for appointments in different things and Chevy Chase and that's where George Will's house is and when Obama got elected the first time President elect Obama was uh fed it.
He was given a a big dinner at George Will's house and I'm sure George Will had all these uh uh friends in the media that he's known for years like Steve Roberts and Krauthammer was there.
And so for George Will to appoint himself the uh judge on what's gonna happen uh to the republican party you go as far as the conservative wing when he's not a conservative I don't even know if he's a moderate he's the leftist to me of center.
But uh George Will uh he's saying that if uh Trump gets the nomination that this is gonna cause uh this irreparable damage to the to the right wing to the conservatives uh what about if uh Trump wins the election?
Oh that'll be even worse according to George Will there's not gonna be any celebratory dinners at George Will's house.
Thank you for your thank you for your call uh John uh hope those uh Nubian slaves uh dragging your Christmas turkey in and getting it all ready for the big day tomorrow.
Mark Stein for us uh more straight ahead Mark Stein for us uh Feliz Navidad uh I think I said yesterday I was gonna do follow my cat album with a cat Christmas album called feline Navidad and I meant yet do that.
Uh the the president is enjoying whatever it is his seven million dollar vacation in Hawaii.
