Yes, America's Anchor Man is away, and this is your undocumented anchor man, Mark Stein.
Honored to be here in this season of guest hosts, uh, which uh will continue until the new yeah, but eventually, eventually Rush will return.
Don't worry, someday, someday soon we hear he may be thinking about uh coming back.
I got a hell of a shock, actually.
The uh the first day I was here, I think it was the the day after he took off.
He he he left Tuesday, and I think on Wednesday I was here.
And normally the great thing about guest hosting for Rush is he's doing something and he's not listening.
I think one time, uh just one time in in the years I've been guest hosting for Rush, he he he called up uh because he was annoyed that I hadn't promoted the the new Rush app, I think it was and he uh he called up and uh said what's what's he what's Stein wasting his time uh talking about uh uh Syria and uh Assad or Gaddafi or whatever it is,
uh why isn't he talking more about the new Rush apps?
That was the only time, and then when I was here uh Wednesday, Rush called up uh about an hour into the show, because he was in his studio in Florida uh listening as he was getting some stuff ready for Christmas, and he thanked me uh because my cat Marvin had sent a copy of uh our new uh CD, Feline Groovy Songs for Swinging Cats.
Uh my cat Marvin, unbeknownst to me, actually, I didn't know this, uh had sent a uh copy of uh the our cat album together to Rush's cat, Allie the Cat.
And so Marvin had sent Allie a copy of the cat album down in Florida by by FedEx.
I didn't even know my cat had a FedEx account.
That's uh that's that's how how no, I for all I know, my cat is like out at nightclubs uh using uh using my American Platinum American Express card all night every night.
Now I didn't know about it.
I didn't know my and I had had no idea that my cat had a FedEx account.
And uh apparently he did, and he sent a uh and he sent a um uh copy of the cat CD uh to Rush's cat, Allie.
And you know Rush is devoted to Allie, if you've ever heard uh him uh him talk about uh talk about Allie.
And in fact, there is a song on the album, uh and if I'd thought about this, we would probably have tailored this to uh Rush's Cat Alley, because in fact there is a song on the album called Ally Cat.
And uh and I heard uh I d I don't know how I heard this, but I heard that uh Rush's Cat Allie did very much enjoy my cat album, Feline Groovy, but I hope uh Allie in particular enjoyed the track Ally Cat because that is you know that's when uh that's that's when you're called Rosanna and the big hit song is called Rosanna or whatever.
That's uh when uh you're called Annie and then John Denver sings Annie song.
That's just so if you're Allie, and there's a song called And You a Cat, and there's a song called Ally Cat, you're just purring away in complete contentment.
So I did hear that Rush in fact had enjoyed uh my cat album.
Uh breaking news, uh well, not really breaking news, except in the sense that it's it's more uh breaking than usual.
The Taliban now control more territory in Afghanistan than at any time since 911.
In other words, since the Afghan invasion of late 2001.
So in other words, we have spent fourteen years, fourteen years, uh taking at great expense, returning Afghanistan to the state it was in uh on September the tenth, two thousand and one, when the Taliban run everything.
Um and uh yeah, uh Obama uh uh but there's two things two things to be said here.
First of all, Obama and the Democrats always campaigned on the fact that Iraq was the wrong war, and it was just an almighty distraction from Afghanistan.
And when oh nobody remembers this now, because we all understand, it's like his position on gay marriage.
Remember when he said, Oh, well, for me, God is in the mix, so marriage is between a man and a woman.
And all the gay guys and all the activists understood that that's just complete baloney, and Obama's just saying that to sucker the rubes, and it's as soon as it's safe to let the rubes know they've been succored, uh, he'll say what he's always think, which that he's gay marriage a go-go, and he's always been gay marriage a go-go.
And that's exactly what it was with Afghanistan too.
Uh where he was saying, Well, Iraq, you know, that's just uh Bush chose to take us into Iraq, and that's a distraction from Afghanistan, which is the war we ought to be fighting.
For the Democrats, Afghanistan was the good war.
This Iraq business, all the distraction, when we get Iraq out of the way, we'll be able to focus on Afghanistan.
In case you haven't noticed, we've lost Afghanistan too, lost, lost, LOST.
Obama said he ended two wars.
What he means is he ended two wars by losing them, by losing them.
Uh so the country that's responsible for over forty percent of planetary military expenditure has just lost to goat herds with fertilizer.
Taken fourteen years to lose to goat herds with fertilizer.
And the same guys are going to be running Afghanistan uh twenty-four hours after the last Western soldier leaves uh that as we're running it before the first Western soldier set foot on that benighted sod in the fall of 2001.
And uh everyone understood.
He didn't really mean it about Afghanistan.
It's just it's just an example of his political sophistication, a way of uh uh of triangulating, saying, Oh no, we Democrats were not just anti-war, we're not just in favor of losing wars.
It's just Bush's war in Iraq we're against, and once we get that out of the way, we're gonna really uh sink our our entire resources into this Afghan thing.
And instead, it's just another lost war.
The Taliban now control more territory uh than they have since nine eleven, and uh ISIS are now making inroads into that country.
And uh Iran, when Iran goes nuclear.
One of the great things I love about uh we talk about these people as barbarians, but they're state of the art barbarians.
Uh there was a terrible thing uh this year where a twenty-seven-year-old Afghan woman was falsely accused of uh burning a Koran, falsely accused, she didn't burn a Koran.
But they decided to beat her to death in the street anywhere.
Mob beat her to death in the street, tore her body apart until it was unrecognizable mush, uh, and then uh tossed it into the street where some truck ran over it, and then, you know, so basically she's reduced to this carcass, this lump of unrecognizable flesh.
And we know that because all these so-called barbarians filmed it on their cell phones, on their cell phones, so they could upload it to social media because they're state-of-the-art barbarians.
They're barbarians with cell phones, and they know how to upload it to YouTube and Facebook and Twitter and all the rest.
And so you get to see actually quite a lot that's going on in that vi in the in the footage they took.
For example, when they toss her carcass into the street, and the truck runs over what's left of this poor girl, twenty-seven years old.
Uh you can see the Afghan police standing around doing nothing.
These are the guys we trained.
These are the guys with American weapons.
These are guys who have been on our payroll.
Uh in in the sense that everyone in Afghanistan is.
I mean, how do you think those all those barbarians filming themselves clubbing to death this twenty-seven-year-old woman?
And then boasting about it by uh taking selfies of themselves with her carcass.
Uh how do you think they got those cell phones?
Ninety-seven percent of the Afghan economy is basically the Western intervention.
That's to say, if you take NATO and you take the uh UN and you take the EU and you take the US and you take everyone, all the Western powers running around in there with their agencies, with their military and all.
That's 97% of Afghanistan's GDP.
So those guys only have cell phones because of us.
And they get cell phones and say, Oh, this is great.
You know, when I beat a woman to death before, nobody knew I always wanted to uh you'd be it'd be like the fisherman with the you should have seen the one that got away.
Uh so I'd be uh I'd be down there with the lad sitting around saying, Wow, I beat this twenty-seven-year-old girl to death the other day, and it was it's absolutely terrific, and then I tossed her into the street for the truck to run over, and they say, Yeah, yeah, Mr. Big Talk.
Well, now, thanks to uh the infidels, I've got this fantastic little cell phone, so I can cell phone myself, beating the woman to death, tossing her carcass in the street, uh watching the truck uh run over her as the Afghan police uh expensively trained by the great Satan, all stand around, and then I can upload it to YouTube and Facebook and Twitter, and it's just great.
So we have barbarians with cell phones.
When the Taliban are back running Afghanistan.
Their two great allies in the old days were Iran and Pakistan.
Pakistan is a nuclear power, Iran is a pseudo-nuclear power, according to whether their foreign minister is having lunch in Vienna with John Kerry.
Uh we've seen what happens when you have barbarians with cell phones.
What happens when barbarians have nukes?
That's the world we're building.
That's the world that's gonna arise before our eyes uh at the end of this second decade of the twenty first century.
Uh Mark Stein for Rush, we will talk about that, and we will talk straight ahead about this uh Clinton Trump dust up.
Because Trump has stopped uh kicking sand in Jeb Bush's face, presumably because he figures he's pretty much got the nomination in the bag and he's now going head to head against Hill.
Hey, Mark Stein, in for us in this funky interlude between Christmas and New Year.
Uh I want to talk about this uh Hillary versus Trump thing uh before we before we get it out the way.
Do you know it's very odd, it's it's odd when you think about it, that we are even contemplating the idea of returning Bill Clinton to the White House, because uh frankly we should uh a respectable virtuous republic would not even be considering such a thing.
This morning on NBC, uh on the Today Show is this?
This uh Samantha Guthrie referred to Bill Clinton's quote alleged relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
So never mind uh Juanita Broderick and Kathleen Willie and Jennifer Flowers and the rest of the gang, even to NBC, even his Bill Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky is quote alleged, unquote.
Now she wrote a book on it, saying they had a relationship, and he wrote a book on it, admitting he had a relationship, and Hillary Clinton wrote a book on it about uh Bill and Monica both having a relationship.
Uh but to NBC it's alleged, an alleged relationship.
Because in this instance, alleged means the stuff that they don't think the mainstream media think you ought not to be talking about, that they don't think you should be saying anything about, knowing anything about.
So it will always be alleged to them.
It doesn't matter.
Bill and Monica and Hillary can write all the books they want about this relationship, but it will always be alleged.
The defining uh the defining quote on the media's approach to Bill Clinton came uh from NBC's Lisa Myers uh back in uh let me work this out now, back uh, I believe uh coming up to 17 years ago.
And uh Juanita Broderick was Jane Doe number five, right?
That's how many they had.
Jane Doe number five.
And uh I will remember this because I attended the the trial, the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton at the Senate, where uh Jay Rockefeller IV said he didn't want Jane Doe number five testifying in the United States Senate.
He didn't want a Jay the Fourth meet Jane Doe number five.
Didn't want that happening in his beloved US Senate.
So Jane Doe number five is Juanita Broderick, and she was interviewed by NBC's Lisa Myers about the President of the United States raping her twice.
And uh Lisa Myers of NBC said to her, The good news is you're credible.
The bad news is you're very credible.
And so uh NBC mothballed the piece.
Mothballed the piece.
They didn't they didn't broadcast it during the impeachment trial.
But the fact is NBC's Lisa Myers told Juanita Broderick she was, quote, very credible.
And that was a problem.
They wanted people who were easy uh to slam as uh what was the what was the James Carville thing, a little bit slutty, a little bit nutty.
Uh they want them wanted them uh once they could slam as slut and nuts, and Juanita Broderick wasn't like that.
And she had a lot of the detail that is supposed to be compelling in these uh he said she said stories, as for example when he looked back at her cut lip uh and uh Juanita Broadwick said the part that always stays in my mind was uh the way he put on his son glasses and then he looked at me and he said uh you might want to put some ice on that.
Because Bill Clinton, of course, always feels your pain, even after causing it.
Now we saw what the media's attitude to this is with Don Lemon on CNN the other day when Kurt Schlichter started to bring this up and Don Lemon cut him off.
Now we have a a presidential candidate who is running on the basis that uh women should always be believed when they make Hillary Clinton actually said this.
And I don't know whether it's because Huma Aberdin and all the others all around her are too young to remember what it was like when her husband was in the White House.
But she said women should always be uh believed.
Bill Clinton is Bill Cosby.
They're both in the same situation.
Uh the th they've both paid women money in uh various forms of settlement, discrete settlement, but they have not been convicted of anything.
But uh the networks, the rerun networks took the Cosby show off the air because they felt that once the the number of women reaches a certain number, uh then uh there's no smoke without fire, and we we w it's in the best interest of our network's image not to have anything to do with him.
So the Cosby show, very hard to see the Cosby show.
Uh all the booking agents cancelled his bookings.
He's not uh his his show's been cancelled everywhere.
I think the last place he appeared was uh where was it, Kingston, Ontario, I think he was somewhere up in Ontario.
So he has to leave the country to find a gig.
Uh Bill Cosby, a lot of people accusing him, people say, well, once you reach a certain number, uh Juanita Broderick is Jane Doe number five, and Lisa Myers of NBC said, The good news is you're credible, the bad news is you're very credible, by which she means you're so credible that you're a problem for the media.
And Hillary Clinton uh the basically that that bathroom break that Hillary Clinton took is very repealing because it's a power exercise, which is what the Clintons do.
It's like if you remember the 2000 Democratic Convention where Bill Clinton took that huge long walk through all the corridors uh while the applause was building and building and building and building.
He's like he was like Elvis coming on stage in Vegas in 1975.
It just like took forever.
He started in sub basement level nine, and he walked through all these corridors and stairwells and corridors and stairwells as the applause built and built and built.
Because he understood he's a star, and he was effect in effect daring all the Democrats caught eunuchs uh to stop applauding.
And they didn't have the guts to stop applauding, because then he'd just have been walking through those corridors in silence with his wingtips clattering along the concrete floor.
And he knew they wouldn't do that.
He knew they'd applaud applauded applauded applauded.
And that was the same with the bathroom break.
She took a bathroom break as an exercise in power.
Because she knows that it doesn't matter if you got Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders on stage, they're just a couple of shlubs.
Part two of the debate uh doesn't begin until she's come out of that lady's room and she's back on stage.
And she that was an exercise in power too.
And uh that's what she has done, she is in effect, just as she dared the audience to uh effectively to to force them to submit to that, and Bill Clinton forced them to applaud during that huge long walk through the corridors.
The Clintons are daring the media t to they know they've got them cowed, that they won't bring any of this stuff up, that they'll react like Don Lemon.
They'll cut you off if you try to bring it up.
That they'll react like uh uh this uh what's her name, Savannah Guthrie, Samantha Guthrie, whatever she this Savannah Guthrie on NBC, that if you bring it up uh it it's only gonna be alleged.
It's a power trip, and Trump busts through that.
Trump won't play by those rules.
Hey, great to be with you.
Don't forget uh that Eric Erickson will be in for rush tomorrow.
And uh if you uh want to uh really give uh somebody a great start to the new year, why not sign them up for the Limbaugh Letter?
If you go to Rush Limbaugh.com, you can become a subscriber to the Limbaugh Letter.
It features uh terrific interviews with uh Rush talking to prominent persons, such as uh Ted Cruz and uh Ben Carson, and even me.
And you can get a whole year's worth comes out every month.
It's always lots of good stuff in there.
It's a packed read, and you can sign up for it if you go to Rushlimbaugh.com.
Let us go to Jerry in Sacramento, California.
Uh Jerry, it's uh great to have you with us.
Hi Jerry.
I'm uh I'm doing good.
How's things with you?
Well I guess Russia's advice, uh I'm going to leave the country.
You're leaving the country?
Where you're what you mean you're you're fleeing.
You're he you're abandoning America.
Yes, sir.
And where are you heading to?
I'm gonna go to Fiji, sir.
To Fiji?
Oh, that's uh th there's like two hundred my wife is from.
Oh, right.
Oh, that I can see that.
I had a very nice uh lovely uh Fijian assistant uh on an uh Australian tour of mine a few years ago.
They they are very uh lovely uh people there.
But uh do you know much about the uh uh living in Fiji?
Uh well actually yes I do because I've been there about three times.
I'm going for the fourth time in February for two weeks, and then when I retire in May, I'm going for life.
And you and you you're giving up on America.
Um well, I can't retire in California.
California's done.
So that's well, that's that's uh that's an interesting that's an interesting theory, Jerry.
I must say I I uh I'm not if it's a choice between California and I don't I know why you're laughing, because you know better than that.
It's done, it's over.
No, it's California is over.
I mean I think that's I think California is a good California drives people out, and you're uh a good example of that.
That basically California is a ma malign alliance b between the dependency classes and the government class that uh administers to them and they squeeze the people in the middle and eventually the middle in the people in the middle get sick of it and they flee, but they don't usually flee to uh to to Fiji.
Uh it's a uh they're very the I I don't I don't blame you for that.
They th they've had uh a coup or two since nineteen eighty-seven, but uh but but they don't do it.
We haven't had we haven't had a coup that's gone far enough, in my opinion.
So you feel actually the even that speaks well for the Fijians.
Uh that they they went ahead and uh I I had a coup or two.
They're very nice, uh they're very nice people.
The uh the Ratu Sir Cabisibara, who was the uh first prime minister of uh independent Fiji and Ratu uh as what does Ratu mean?
You could uh you should know that by now, Jerry.
You know what that means?
Well, actually actually I don't because I'm not too far into the government there yet, but uh the infrastructure's in place.
Uh it's easy to live.
Land is cheap, it's good, man.
Yeah, no, no, that's that's good.
But Ratu Actually means paramount uh chief.
Uh Ratu means no, no, Ratu means chief.
I think two E VT is uh is the uh Queen's title in Fiji, which means paramount chief.
But Ratu is a chief, so you never know, Jerry.
You you chances are the odds of you going to Jer to Fiji, making it big and becoming a Ratu chief, chieftain in Fiji, are probably far greater than you surviving in California and ever becoming a big chief in Sacramento.
So you may have made the right decision.
Yeah, no, no.
The Fijian Revolution.
Oh, I'm laughing my butt off here.
Yeah, no, no, no.
That's like w we when we do keep people on hold, we we uh try our best to entertain them uh with uh with things like uh the broke back mountain sequel of John McCain and Lindsay Graham in Return to Saddlesaw Canyon.
So if you've been enjoying those I thank you, Jerry.
Good luck it where are you going to?
Suva.
Uh Nancy, sir.
Oh, right, okay, which I think is actually a little bigger than Suva.
Uh my my memory is that Suva's actually is well.
Mr. Surdley is suspicious now.
No red blooded American EIB guest host should know this much about Fiji.
Uh I used to be um I think it was in the Suva Times.
I used to be reprinted in the Suva Times.
And the reason I remember this is because it was it was on the back of some uh I think it was an Australian syndication deal, like the Australians syndicated my uh Canadian column and sub syndicated it to Fiji.
But what I always remember is that I got more for appearing in the Suva Times in Fiji than for example uh Jerry is just calling from California than I ever got for appearing in any California paper, like the uh Orange County Register.
So for example, a guy can live off having his column syndicated in the Suva Times in Fiji.
The American newspaper industry is so dead uh that I think uh that that you can't live on you could have a you could easily have uh your column appearing in the major newspaper in every single state and you'd still be starving.
Uh that's how dead the American syndication business Suva Fiji Ms Mr. Snurdley Mr. Snurdly is now implying that I that that doesn't explain my expertise in the internal affairs of Fiji.
I must be going there because it must be like bargain basement sex tourism.
It's for people who can't afford Bangkok.
It's not at all like that.
Fiji is a uh Fiji is a uh member of the uh British Commonwealth, and uh if you uh go to Australia a lot, uh as I do, you meet a lot of uh you meet a lot of Fijians as uh a lot of uh Fijians uh come and work in Australia and travel in Australia and all the rest of it.
And I was in I've been in Fiji, I think uh twice over the years, and I uh it's uh it's a beautiful place, beautiful uh I ran into, as I mentioned, I ran into Ratu Sakamisesi Mara, uh the uh former prime minister, and I think I uh once met Ratu Sir George Cacobao, the former Governor General.
So we so some of my best friends are Fijians.
And Jerry is right that the Fijian Revenue Service is uh is is far less menacing than the IRS.
Uh we were talking about we were talking about uh the bill the Bill Clinton uh phenomenon and uh Hillary uh and Trump, Trump saying it's ridiculous.
Hillary doesn't want to go there.
And this will be the difference.
You know, basically, in the last couple of elections, the um Republican nominees have always let the Democrat media set the rules of the game.
Uh the Democrats did not do due diligence.
Now we had somebody uh somebody was on TV this morning, uh Leslie Marshall, I think it was, who was talking about how it's ridiculous that Hillary Clinton has to somehow be responsible for the actions of her husband.
Well, it's not it's not about that.
I mean, let's Put that put to one side the fact that Sarah Palin uh somehow has to be responsible for her daughter's boyfriend's cousins, aunt's babysitter back in Wazilla.
If you remember Wazilla, uh anybody who had any tangential connection to Sarah Palin, that was fair game.
And because the media were all doing that, they didn't do anything about Bill Ayers isn't relevant uh to uh Obama.
That uh hate mongering church he sat in the pews of for twenty f twenty years isn't relevant to Obama.
But anybody, anybody who happened to be standing uh at the gate of Wazilla Airport and uh exchanged a pleasantry uh with Sarah Palin and then got driven given a parking ticket uh ten years ago, there that's all fair game to hang round Sarah Palin's neck.
So forget the double standard when Leslie Marshall said uh uh she is not her that Hillary is not her husband's keeper.
No, she's her husband's enabler.
She was her husband's co-conspirator.
She was her husband's uh in in the in the racket they were in, she was part of the racket.
She's the one who used the phrase vast right wing conspiracy.
She's the one uh who uh went on about bimbo eruptions.
Uh and now she's trying to run as because she needs to shore up the Democrat base on this war on women thing.
This so she needs to shore up uh by standing up for women by saying if women make uh accusations they should be believed.
More women have made accusations against her husband than almost anyone shy of Bill Cosby.
But apparently none of them are to be believed.
And John McCain would have gone along with the Democrats' rules on that.
And uh Mitt Romney is such a gentleman, he would have gone along with the Democrats' rules on that.
Donald Trump is not going along with that, and that's a ver gonna be a very interesting phenomenon in the coming election.
Mark Stein for Rush, we'll take more of your calls straight ahead.
Mark Stein in for Rush on the EIB net.
Well, I mean that as a serious question, incidentally.
Why is Bill Cosby finished?
He was the most beloved guy.
We keep hearing Bill Clinton is the most beloved guy in America.
If Bill Clinton was on the ticket, he'd sweep he'd sweep all 50 states uh it'd be a landslide.
Americans love Bill Clinton.
They loved Bill Cosby, the nice grandfatherly Bill Cosby.
Uh, but somehow you'd for whatever reason you don't see the Bill Cosby show on TV anymore.
You don't see it on the rerun channels.
You don't, he's not appearing anywhere.
No strange that.
Odd that.
Uh you'd almost think gosh, you'd almost think it was some kind of like racism thing that somehow uh when a bunch of uh women make uh accusations against a black guy, boom, he's vaporized.
When a bunch of women make accusations against some uh white southern redneck guy, he we're talking about putting him back in the White House for another eight years.
First gentleman, they're gonna need, they're gonna need uh you know I mentioned earlier that fatwa number sixty-four that ISIS issued.
They tell you basically uh the conditions in which uh the the circumstances in which you're allowed to have sex uh if you with the various sex slaves you own.
If if you own a mother you can and you have sex with the mother, you're not allowed to have sex with her daughter, or you can have sex with the daughter.
If you own the mother, you can have sex with the daughter, but then you mustn't have sex with the mother unless you sell the daughter.
Uh if you've got two sisters, you can have sex with the one sister, but then you can't have sex with the other sister until after you've given the first sister to someone else.
They've got all they're gonna have to basically come ISIS are gonna have to do well, they could probably just use the same fatwa and just replace words like sisters with interns, and it and they could uh apply it as the new code of conduct for Bill Clinton as so-called quote first gentleman, unquote, uh, in the White House.
Let's go to Susan in San Antonio.
Susan, you're on the Rush Limbaugh show.
Great to have you with us.
Happy New Year.
Hey, happy New Year to you.
Happy New Year to you too.
I wanted to call to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the lovely astuing you gave to Mary, the cousin of Lois Lerner.
You so you think Mary You think Mary is actually was actually Lois L's cousin, it's Mary Lewis.
You know, you know.
Lois and Mary, uh Lois and Mary, the learner twins.
I hated them in ninth grade.
I just it was such a wonderful blessing for me.
I just had to call to thank you.
You've been Rush's Christmas present to me.
Well, well, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for that.
It's a you know, it's a serious it's a serious business, though.
Um because uh we have a vast administrative state here.
Nobody knows if you disagree with uh anything the IRS does, nobody knows which polling station you go to to vote them out of office if you don't like the administrator of the IRS uh or the EPA or any of them.
The administrative strait goes and goes and goes, and the Republican Party does uh does nothing against uh to stop it.
Uh who who who who you liking so far in this uh election season, Susan.
Well we've been supporting the Ben Carson.
Oh, right.
We love him.
He's such a wonderful human being, and uh it's time for one, I think, you know, in the White House.
But I I was gonna say how accommodating of Mr. Obama to return the Taliban's top leaders to them in exchange for Bo Bergdolf, so they could get back in shape over there.
So um how nice.
And I guess that twenty-seven-year-old poor woman, poor woman, I guess she was the older sister.
Yeah, no, no, you're you're right.
Well, you're you're right that that uh basically Obama returned the top Taliban commanders, because the Taliban now controls so much territory, they really need the red hot uh guys to be running it.
So they can't it's fortunate that Obama released them from Gitmo just in time for them to fly back to Afghanistan and start running key slabs of Afghan real estate uh all over again.
That worked out great for everybody, Susan.
I think that's just win-win all round, as Obama would see it.
We get Bo Burgdal, they get uh an entire country to uh run around and gamble and frolic in and lease out to whatever terrorist groups they decide to to hook up with, uh Susan.
But uh Ben Ben Carson, you're not worried at these uh this sort of slippage that seems to be going on in Iowa.
Well, probably.
I mean, um we have um we just think very highly of him, and it's just it would just be s so nice to have someone of character and dignity in the office again.
It would just be wonderful, wouldn't it?
Well, you dream in there.
I mean, we're g i y you know, the the idea is the idea is that w the idea is that uh Bill Clinton is the paragon of dignity and that once he's installed as America's first gentleman that the dignity of the White House will be restored.
That's the same thing.
Yeah, and that's the Clintons, enough enough.
Okay, well thanks for your thank you thanks for your call, uh Susan.
And you might be right.
Mary might be Lois Lerner's cousin, but I think it it could possibly be closer than that.
May they might be twins.
They might be identical twins.
Mary might be Lois Lerner.
I don't know.
Have they ever been seen together?
I don't know.
But the it's not a small thing, this when you give uh administrative agencies huge powers that do not require the oversight of any uh real judge or real court.
That's a world beyond law, a world beyond law.
Uh and no good comes of that.
Then basically law, as we learned with the IRS, law is what Lois Lerner says it is.
Law is what Lois Lerner said it is, and it's not a land of law.
It's a land of men, a land of regulators, and that is not a free society.
Mark Stein for Rush, more straight ahead.
Mark Stein in for Rush.
You know, you gotta love that Savannah Gath Guthrie on the Today Show calling the affair with Monica Lewinsky alleged affair.
Uh the Clinton administration was the first in US history to keep a stand an eye standardized denial of sexual assault form on file.
It's like, you know, a 1099.
It was like the 1099 of sex.
Uh when Paula Jones's lawyers were uh sniffing around Arkansas for women who'd undergone similar experiences.
Um a nervous Juanita Broderick, who didn't want to get mixed up in all this at that point, called her a attorney who in turn contacted the White House lawyer, Bruce Lindsay, Clinton's buddy.
And shortly afterwards, the president's lawyer, Bob Bennett, then faxed back the affidavit from the White House.
This is how alleged it is.
He faxed back uh to this lawyer at Arkansas, the affidavit of another woman uh who denied being sexually assaulted with Mr. Clinton.
And all he'd done, all Mrs. Broadwick's lawyer did was replace the original name with that of his client and put it in the mail.
You know, I, your name here, being of sound body, did not have sexual relations with that man, William Jefferson Clinton.
It's like the convenient do-it-yourself Clinton administration home affidavit kit.
You may get groped by Bill, uh, but at least there's not going to be a lot of paperwork over it.
