Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Yes, America's anchor man is away, and this is your undocumented anchor man, Mark Stein.
No supporting paperwork whatsoever coming to you live from Ice Station EIB in far northern New Hampshire.
Honored to be here.
I feel I have a sporting chance of Mitt Romney asking me to be America's first undocumented third party candidate.
So there's everything to play for.
Everything to play for on today's show.
Mr. Snerdley is in New York making making sure.
Uh no, there's there's there's no snow.
The uh we wear a balmy uh thirty-nine degrees uh right here, Mr. Snardley.
So that's that's what you're I'm in I'm doing the show in shorts and t-shirt.
It's so delightful, uh it's so delightful up here.
Uh and uh Mr. Surley is down there in New York.
He's he's uh taken charge of everything.
Uh I haven't been here in uh in uh a while.
I think I was was it Iowa I was last here.
I think Lindsay Graham had Jim Gilmore just where he wanted him.
I don't know whether there have been any developments in the race since then, uh but I'll try to bring myself up to speed uh in the next three hours.
One eight hundred two eight two eight eight two.
Before I get to all that uh campaign twenty sixteen stuff, f twenty sixteen stuff.
Uh I woke up this morning to like an extraordinary sight.
This is courtesy of CBS News in Chicago.
Uh they're showing pictures of uh uh of guys sleeping on cots.
Well, and women, men, women, children all sleeping on cots on the floor.
And I initially assumed this was a refugee camp.
I thought the green zone in Baghdad had fallen, and these were US Embassy officials trying to get out, whatever it was.
No, this is O'Hare Airport in Chicago, uh a major airport in what purports to be a first world advanced developed nation, and these are people sleeping on cots there, not because their planes were delayed.
The planes were there, the pilots were there, the uh cabin crew were there.
Uh but uh it took so long to get through security that uh they missed their flights, these guys.
So the airport had to provide them with cots to sleep on the floor of the terminus uh so they could presumably start all over again going through TSA security today and get another flight.
Um this is uh part of the backdrop to uh this year's election, because the terrorists have won.
Let's face it, this is life in America now.
The TSA say uh that uh you have to allow three hours to catch a domestic flight in the United States.
Three hours at the airport.
Uh you have to get there if you if you've got a a uh nine a.m. flight from Chicago to Minneapolis, you got to get to O'Hare by six AM to have a sporting chance of the TSA getting you on the plane.
The TSA is the world's most lavishly funded airport security bureaucracy, and their plan, what they do with the money is to keep you outside in line, struggling to get through the line for three hours.
And they do this, by the way, just a few weeks after another international airport, Brussels, the smart guys from ISIS figured out that uh when it's too tough to get through to security and uh blow up the plane, you might as well just blow up the people waiting to get through to security.
You don't need to blow up the secure area because there's now so many people standing around uh trying to get through into the secure area, into the insecure area.
You might as well just blow up the insecure area.
So now you can go, these guys who blew up Brussels Airport, they can there now come to Chicago, and they don't need to get through the perimeter, they can just blow up people uh sleeping on cots, as if it's some refugee camp uh on the on the uh concourse of uh O'Hare Airport.
As I said, that purports to be a an airport in what is still supposed to be a first world advanced developed nation.
The terrorists have won.
The terrorists have won.
Internal travel in the United States is hell.
Meanwhile, by the way, for the f f for running this fantastic operation so brilliantly, the TSA is handing out ninety thousand dollar bonuses uh to their crack employees, such as Kelly Hoggan.
Kelly Hogan, uh who's an assistant administrator uh at the Office of Security Administrations, in other words, he's one of the guys who brought you sleepovers at O'Hare Airport.
He got a $90,000 bonus on his base salary of $181,000.
So the bonuses are proportional to how long they keep you waiting outside the secure area trying to get in.
So if you go to sleep on the floor overnight, I should think Kelly Hogan is looking at maybe a hundred and fifty thousand dollar bonus this year.
Good, good, good work, Kelly.
That's terrific.
This is uh the background to this year's election.
Uh it confirms the view uh of Trump supporters that n that uh as Trump says, we lose at everything.
That's the Trump message.
We lose at everything.
Make America great again.
Because an America where uh you go to catch a routine domestic flight and the planes there and the pilots there and the uh and they I was gonna almost said stewardesses, which would have been an unforgivable faux pas.
The cabin crew are there.
Uh they're all there, but you're not allowed to get on the plane because it takes you three hours to get into the secure area.
This is insane.
And this is what so much uh of daily life looks like now.
Uh and uh and Trump uh won the GOP nomination by saying this isn't good enough.
This bipartisan view of the big government bureaucratic state isn't good enough.
1-800-282-2882, the important, we'll get to all the important that was just I just wanted to get that off my chest.
Um, but we'll get to the important stuff now, which is uh whether Trump ill-treated a woman uh on a date in uh 1973.
This is the big New York Times story uh about Trump's treatment of women, uh, which they say crosses the line.
That was the headline, crossing the line.
They went all the way back, I think.
I think the the earliest encounter with a person of the opposite sex there, uh it goes back to the early 1960s.
So Trump was on this date uh round about the same time that uh Ted Cruz's dad was in the Texas book depository with Lee Harvey Oswald.
That's how far that's how far this thing goes back.
And uh they've got all these stories here, and uh uh Fox News has already demolished uh the central the star of the story, the the lady whose anecdote opens the the uh uh Times account because she says she was hopelessly misquoted and take it out of context so that Donald Trump was the perfect gentleman to her.
And uh and so this uh this story has uh d this story for for a story involving this many supermodels, it has no legs.
It's going nowhere.
It's going nowhere.
No, no, no, no, exactly.
We don't it Trump is right.
Uh our newspaper of record can't even do they, you know, four years ago, these guys could do a hit piece.
They had that story about how Mitt Romney uh gives you cancer.
He can do it, but he can do it.
He doesn't even have to be anywhere near you.
He can lay he can close down your factory, and three years later, uh an employee spouse will get cancer.
That's how powerful Mitt Romney is.
Mitt Romney will take your dog and stick it on the roof of his car and drive your dog to Canada, and you'll never see your dog again.
That's how good uh the American media used to be at doing these hit pieces.
Now they got, as I said, this hit piece with fifty supermodels and no lo no legs.
How how how bad a journalist do you have to be to do that?
But listen, here's the point.
Here's the point.
If this is really what the election is gonna be about, how badly do you have to treat women when you're running against the enabler and co-conspirator of an uh a credibly accused rapist and serial abuser of women,
uh, who since he managed to skate while in the Oval Office, uh, according to uh a new report, Bill Clinton took twice as many flights on Pedophile Island billionaires, Lolita Express than previously reported.
This is this guy, Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire pedophile who kept underage girls as sex slaves on his private island.
And the flight logs for his Lolita Express, his private jet, uh show that the president uh and this is the detail that I find fascinating.
The the former president, Bill Clinton, took at least twenty-six trips aboard the Lolita Express, even apparently ditching his secret service detail for at least five of the flights.
Which means, if just just bear with me here, which means that according to this arithmetic, for twenty-one of his flights on the Lolita Express with the Pedo Billionaire, Bill Clinton was accompanied by his secret service detail.
Which means you, yes, that's that's you, little Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer sitting out there, you who paid for Secret Service agents to fly on the Pedo Express to pedophile island.
That's uh that's how seriously the Secret Service takes their protection of Bill Clinton.
This this this guy, uh Jeffrey Epstein, by the way, as I said, it's a sex traffic trafficking thing.
He uh he he brought in these underage girls and he's believed to have kept them as sex slaves uh on his private island.
And Bill Clinton has been on that plane twenty-six times.
And oddly enough, that's not crossing the line to the New York Times.
That's not crossing the line in the New York Times.
What else do we find?
I this is if you're one of the more mature ladies who happens to catch the eye of Bill Clinton.
Obviously, if you're like uh one of these fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls on the Lolita Express, you're a bit too young uh even to get a credible disbursement uh from the Clinton Foundation.
But if you're this lady that Rush was talking about on Friday, um uh uh uh uh Julie Torber McMahon of Chapaca, New York, a close friend of Mr. Clinton, one of many close friends of Mr. Clinton who has never met Mrs. Clinton, apparently.
Uh but this lady, Julie Torber McMahon, a fine-looking woman, uh two million dollars uh from the Clinton Foundation went towards uh her uh energy pioneer solutions,
which as Rush was talking about, uh uh w is responsible for uh bringing affordable energy uh to rural areas like Chapaca, where they just have all these warm bodies to raise the temperature of the place in the depths of winter.
This is the how how well do you have to treat women when you're running against the Clintons?
This is the insanity of the New York Times front page story.
We will talk about that.
The the latest polls, basically, the th this most recent poll shows Hillary ahead of uh Trump by two points.
Uh nobody knows how it's uh how it's gonna go in uh in December.
Oh, do you want me to do I don't know, I can't what are the what are all these uh What are all these stories here?
I don't know.
Are GOP operatives recruiting a third party candidate to derail Trump?
Oh my god, I fell asleep during the headline.
That's uh that's CBS News.
Washington Post, inside the GOP effort to draft an independent candidate to derail Trump.
Uh this isn't gonna happen, folks.
We can talk about this if you want.
1-800-282-2882, but it is not going to happen.
Uh Mitt Romney is apparently trying to recruit the dream ticket of Ben Sass, uh who's uh where he's a first-time senator from Nebraska, and uh John Kasich, who's uh a uh uh the governor of Ohio Ohio.
And this is th and the well, he's not he's a nice he's a he's a respected and successful governor of Ohio.
He's had a fought a brilliant campaign, and he gave one of the world's longest concession speeches, which is a tribute to his stamina, in which he thanked basically every single person he met on the campaign trail.
This is never gonna Mitt Romney has this he's Mitt Romney has run for president and lost two times, and he now thinks he wants to do it a third time, uh, but to save him all the time and trouble, he doesn't want to leave the house, so he's gonna use Ben Sass as his sock puppet.
This is the craziest idea.
Uh Mike Murphy, uh the man who spent a hundred million dollars getting Jeb Bush to two point eight percent in Iowa, uh, is apparently going back to his dodas and enthusiasm them about the SAS Kasich dream ticket.
It ain't gonna happen, folks.
If you if you want to talk about it, I'll give it a go.
But I tell you, I'm warned to just like uh I'm I'm prone to just like fall asleep in the in the middle of uh reading the headlines of these stories.
Mark Stein in Farush will take your calls and talk about the start of another lively week at Campaign 2016 straight ahead.
Yeah, the music's groovy, but everything else is in uh disarray on the right.
Uh it it has been uh astonishing to me to watch what what's happened uh at the in the Republican Party in in recent in recent months.
That's why I wanted, by the way, to just slap down this third party thing.
It's not g it's not gonna happen.
We spend the last six months uh having learned analyses of how open can contested conventions were likely to go, and that's not gonna happen.
So there's no point wasting the next few months uh talking about some other scenario that's uh that's not going to happen.
But I used to love it.
You used to have to be a Trotskyite to have this degree of factionalism.
This uh this way uh th Bill Crystal, who's leading this Never Trump uh movement.
I like Bill.
He he he's uh he's a very nice guy, he did he was very good to my book, uh America Alone.
He he taught it in college classes, he recommended it to his students, and he was very responsible in that sense for a lot of the credibility it had.
Uh Bill Crystal, he's leading this never Trump movement.
I saw some uh tweet of him.
He was asked who who never Trump's uh who who never Trump's running mate was going to be on the the vice presidential slot.
He said it was never gonna be it was gonna be never Christie or never rhymes or never.
He's got this whole long list of uh uh uh of people in as the big tent gets smaller and smaller and smaller.
It's like if you've seen Monty Python's uh Life of Brian, the Republican Party is now disintegrating into the People's Front of Judea and the Judean People's Front versus the Judean Popular People's Front and the campaign for a free Galilee and whatever all the other ones were.
But uh it it pays to focus on what is gonna matter.
And that's what I want to uh talk about today, because this is the this is let's take it as red that we all hate each other and try to figure out where we go from from here.
Um I said on this show over a year ago that the issue for me is corruption.
Uh the descent of a true republic into a banana republic, which is what's happening right before our eyes.
This country is stinkingly corrupt.
That business about TSA agents awarding themselves $90,000 bonuses while they keep a law-abiding citizens sleeping in cots on airport concourses overnight for no reason uh is a good example of that.
But there is also the corrupt Justice Department and the corrupt revenue agency.
And given that those are two of the core legitimate functions of government, uh, when they're corrupt, you don't need a lot uh a lot else.
Uh so you know there's no equality before the law anymore.
Uh your organization applies for 501c3 status and gets held up for three years while they demand to know every single one of your donors and what books you read and and uh if you're a a uh a church, uh what Bible readings you read.
While Barack Obama's brother, who lives in Kenya and consorts with war criminals like the Butcher of Sudan, Barack Obama's brother gets his 501c3 status from the IRS, personally signed by Lois Lerner herself, who backdates it three years.
She backdated uh Barack Obama's brother's 501c3 status.
She backdated it back three years.
That's illegal.
But don't worry, the laws don't apply to the president's brother.
They apply to you, but not to the president's brother.
That's Banana Republic stuff.
Speaking of Kenya, the US ambassador to Kenya used a private email address for government business, and Hillary Clinton's State Department fired him.
She does exactly the same thing with far more confidential material and classified material On an industrial scale for years, and it doesn't matter.
Because she's Hillary Clinton and the Schlub who served as ambassador in Kenya isn't.
So the laws apply to him and not to her.
That's Banana Republic stuff.
Two speech writers, two speechwriters on Charlie Rose.
They're talking about the speeches they wrote for him.
John Lovett and John Favreau, these two twelve year old speechwriters for Obama.
And they're joking about the uh Lovett came comes up with the line, if you like your insurance, you can keep it.
And they're laughing on the Charlie Rose show.
And Charlie Roos is laughing.
If you liked your health insurance, you can keep it.
Because it's such a hilarious line.
They're laughing at putting one over on you, the Rube citizens.
That's banana republic stuff too.
Uh when when uh when you make your name by lying to the people and then congratulating yourself on the brilliance of your lie.
Banana Republic stuff, climate of corruption.
Yes, Rush is out for uh a couple of days.
He has a long standard charity golf commitment.
And uh he's uh he he's very good about those things.
He if he says he's gonna be there, he's there and he does it, and he gives of his time extremely generously uh at these uh celebrity uh golf charity events, but he will be back with authentic full strength uh all American excellence in broadcasting on Wednesday.
But he's uh taking it a couple of days out.
Don't worry if you you go to uh Rush Limbaugh.com and you become a rush twenty-four-seven subscriber, you need never be discombobulated by sinister foreign guest hosts ever again.
I was talking about the corruption in this country, which which uh gets gets in in my nostrils, the stink of corruption, the stench of corruption, the sense that uh laws apply to some people and not to others.
So some guy has his life destroyed and winds up in jail, and the other person doesn't matter.
Now who is the embodiment of that?
Who is the embodiment of the descent into banana republicanism?
Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The fact that she is running for president uh and has a credible chance of becoming president, becoming the first woman president, is itself um a tribute to the CD dysfunctionalism of America's institutions.
Because in a healthy society, and I'm just talking about a country with maybe two, three, four, five, six million people, like uh those little Scandinavian countries.
Uh not a country with over three hundred million people.
When you've got three hundred million people in a country, it's not a good sign when the wife of the previous president decides that she is entitled to be president.
And yes, I'll I'm ecumenical on this point.
It was pathetic uh the Bush family deciding that they're so indispensable to the Republic that they need to uh provide three presidents within twenty-five years.
That's completely ri ridiculous.
It's actually completely unbecoming, and it's not a republic.
Um and uh if it's a choice between Bush and Clinton, I vote for George III, because in this race he'd be the small government candidate.
That's how crazy things are gotten uh in in the uh last two hundred years.
But uh there's nothing there's nothing proud.
It's not a Mrs. Thatcher moment.
Uh it's not a Golden Mayor moment, it's not even Julia Gillard or Helen Clark in Australia and New Zealand.
There's nothing to be proud of, and feminists in particular should be embarrassed by this.
When the first female president is the wife of the the previous president, it's not even people say, oh, it's like Ava Perron, you know, uh in Argentina.
But Ava Peron was a fantastically charismatic woman.
Nobody has ever said that about Hillary Clinton.
She's a stiff, the talent was her husband.
So she's not even any good at it.
Ava Perron was actually uh quite good at being Ava Perron.
You put Hillary Clinton on the balcony singing, don't cry for me, little Rog Arkansas, it's not gonna go anywhere.
Nobody likes her, she doesn't connect with people, and yet so she's not even good at being Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton.
Uh Ava Perron was good at being Mrs. Juan Perron.
She was she was good at that.
Now but that's so so put that to one side.
I'd rather see Elizabeth Warren uh just if we're gonna have a female president from the Democrat Party.
If we're gonna have any old president from the Democrat Party, uh better uh Bernie Sanders as uh because Bernie Sanders for all I believe Bernie Sanders is technically the third poorest candidate uh of the of the people who ran this year.
Martin O'Malley was apparently the poorest, Marco Rubio the second poorest, and Bernie Sanders the third uh poorest.
Uh Bill Maher on Bill Maher's TV show uh when Hillary called for Bernie Sanders to release his tax records, Bill Maher made a uh the perfectly obvious point what is what is uh what is Bernie Sanders hiding?
He owns two suits and a nineteen ninety-three Buick Les Aber.
That's it.
It's perfectly obvious he's got nothing.
Uh now Hillary Clinton is calling uh aside from the absurdity of a guy running against the Clintons being hit for the way he treats women.
We now have the situation where Hillary is calling for Trump to be transparent and release his tax returns.
Uh show us his tax returns.
When they left the White House, this is corruption, this is corruption.
When they left the White House in 2001, the Clintons were worth nothing.
They owed half a million dollars in two thousand and one.
Now they're supposedly worth two hundred million dollars, and that doesn't include the two billion dollars in the Clinton Foundation.
And the Clinton Foundation has absolutely no purpose except to enable the Clinton family to lead the lifestyles of heads of state after they've ceased to be heads of state.
That's why that foundation exists.
Uh we've just we've just seen in the news in the last couple of days uh that governments in the Persian Gulf, uh so Saudi Princes and Gulf Amirs gave a hundred million dollars to Bill and Hillary, what do you think they gave them that money for?
What do you think they gave that money for?
Because they're so concerned with with the Clinton Foundation's causes, nobody can name a cause of the foundation's the uh Clinton Foundation cause except diarrhea in Africa.
Diarrhea in Africa, which Chelsea Clinton gives speeches on all the time.
She's getting so so the Clinton family get two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, uh in Bill's case seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to give a speech on diarrhea in Africa, and then all these uh Saudi princes and Gulf Amirs give them a hundred million dollars.
They're buying access.
Bill Clinton said on the campaign trail, this strange wraith.
I don't know how he has the energy for the Lolito Express, because I tell you, if I look like Bill Clinton and I sounded like Bill Clinton, with a croaky voice, he's got no voice.
Uh I the last thing I want is to be on a Lolita Express with fourteen-year-old stewardesses.
I tell you, that is I don't know I don't know how he I don't know how he has uh he's an inspiration to men half his age.
Uh the way he's got the way he can handle all those trips to Pedo Island is incredible.
It's impressive.
Uh so he was what was that, Mr. Snadley?
You think he I don't think they make an energy drink in the strength.
If you see Bill Clinton anyone would think when you see Bill Clinton on the campaign trail, you'd think he'd just actually disembarked from the Letter Express five minutes earlier, and he hadn't yet a time to have a glass of water and mop his brow.
He's in a terrible state.
Anyway, Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton said the other day that no that all this hundred million dollars, don't worry about it from Gulfamers and Saudi Princes.
Don't worry, it isn't illegal.
Do you know you wouldn't have had to tell?
This this whole idea of a family, they they're president until 2001, and then they want to be president again in 2016.
So they got a decade and a half off, in the course of which the spouse is plotting her run her return to the White House.
You wouldn't have had to tell, even if it had occurred to Harry Truman or Calvin Coolidge to do that.
You wouldn't have t you wouldn't have to tell them not to take a hundred million dollars uh from foreign governments of a dubious nature.
The minute you Bill Clinton's point that it's not illegal, of course not.
In a in a sane, healthy non-disease society, things aren't legal or illegal.
Uh things are right and wrong.
And if a former president doesn't know he's wrong to be taking huge sums of money from malodorous governments uh buying access from his wife while she's serving as America's chief foreign policy official, it's nothing to do with whether it's legal or illegal, it's to do with it's whether it's right or wrong.
And if an ex-president doesn't know that that's wrong, you're pretty far down the the whole.
You're pretty far down the choked septic tank uh of functioning uh free societies when an egg it's it ought to be understood that an ex-president doesn't take money from foreign governments.
Why can't he give the speech to the fat lay about Saudi princes for free once in a while?
What's what's what's with it that he doesn't know that it's wrong to take money uh from these foreign governments?
Um they're supposedly, supposedly they're giving money because they care about all these third world urchins in Africa with diarrhea.
For every million bucks you hand over to the Clinton Foundation, a full sixty-four thousand dollars goes to the Africans with diarrhoea, and the remaining nine hundred and thirty six thousand dollars is the processing fee.
That's what that's what charity watch, which monitors all these charities, that's what they the charity watches for you you give a million dollars to the Clinton Foundation, sixty-four grand goes to diarrhea in Africa, and the remaining nine hundred and thirty six thousand is the Clinton's processing fee for their travel, for their planes, for their offices, for the suits Bill wears when he gives these speeches.
And he, you know, if he's been on the Lolita Express, those suits will need pressing afterwards.
The Clintons, you know, supposedly the Clinton courts' defense for all this funny money uh is that these Saudis are ponying up for Bill and Hill because they're so concerned about women's rights in Africa, that the Kazakh oligarchs are so generous because they want to reduce uh the threat of the next diarrhea outbreak.
That's why Chelsea Clinton gets 75 grand to give dull speeches about diarrhea.
But given that 94% of it gets sluiced off before it gets anywhere near Africa, if you really cared about that, why would you why would you give the money to the Clintons?
No, you give a million dollars to the Clinton Foundation because you want the Clintons.
You want the Clintons to get it.
It's it's not a charity foundation.
The Clinton Foundation, 94% goes to the Clintons, 6% goes to emaciated Africans.
That's basically the equivalent of the moment when you're at Price Chopper, you're at the checkout, you're at the checkout at Price Chopper, and the clerk tallies up your 150 bucks worth of groceries and then asks if you'd like to give a dollar to breast cancer awareness month.
That's the Clinton Foundation.
You know, to to modify Lady Macbeth, not all the diarrhea in Africa can wash away the stench of the Clinton Foundation.
It's corrupt.
It's it's stinkingly corrupt, it's obviously corrupt.
And what is absolutely astonishing to me is to hear s several nominal Republicans, people on the right, particularly foreign policy Republicans.
Uh PJ O'Rourke, my fellow New Hampshire Republican, three hours south of me, uh in uh in in South uh western New Hampshire, PJ O'Rourke has said he's gonna be voting for Hillary.
Uh Max Boot, who was my editor at the the the Wall Street Journal, big foreign policy guy, big Gabriel foreign policy advisor to McCain and to Romney, he said he's gonna be voting for Hillary.
Hillary is is the embodiment of corruption and therefore the embodiment of the death of the Republic.
And that for these foreign policy guys to decide someone on the on the Take from Saudi princes.
Uh someone who's man who's managed to deliver twenty percent of uh of US uranium into the control of the Russians.
Uh someone whose husband uh has been credibly accused of rape and flies around with a known paedophile, and yet Hillary to these guys is who they're gonna be supporting in November.
This is this is insane.
The Hillary Rodham Clinton presidency uh will be the death of the Republic and the complete descent into Banana Republic status.
Mark Stein for Rush, we'll take your call straight ahead.
Uh Mark Steided for Rush, uh an embittered tweeter, elegy, has just tweeted in response to my concerns about the Clintons and their concern for uh the Clinton Foundation's concern for diarrhea in Africa.
He says elegy says I have diarrhea in America.
Where's my dab foundation?
You'll be a long time waiting for that elegy.
Uh skip in Houston, Texas.
Skip you're live on the Rush Limbaugh show.
Great to have you with us.
Thank you, Mark.
It's so good to be with you.
I love the way you opened the show.
Yes, I hadn't thought about Lindsay Graham kicking John Gilmore's behind for a while, but yeah, you're right.
You shouldn't be thinking about it that often, believe me.
If you if it happens again, see a psychiatrist.
It made me laugh out loud, man.
It was so funny.
I loved it.
Umway, so apparently you haven't heard the news clips today that are being played all over the mainstream, and it is.
Chuck U Schumer is talking about the way to speed up lines at O'Hare and LaGordia and everywhere else is by using the bomb sniffing dogs to check the passengers for explosives, and that's what I need.
I need a dog sniffing my crotch when I go through the airport.
Yeah, that's right.
And you know, and you know with government dogs, they're not going to be content with just one sniff.
There's gonna be the secondary ship.
Yeah, but it gives new definition to the smell test, right?
Yeah.
Americans will have to be passing the Yeah, I hadn't considered that.
Thank you for you know, this is just another example of how often the Republican Party has the right idea too early.
I mean, if you go back to Mitt Romney, uh what the Democrats hammered him for in his uh in in his last election campaign in 2012, is that he put a bomb sniffing dog on the roof of his car for when he went to Canada.
There's a guy who understands the importance of security.
He was ahead of his game.
He had a right on the roof of his car.
He had a bomb-sniffing dog and drove that bomb-sniffing dog right into Canada.
That's that's the kind of far-sighted thinking that Mitt was giving us uh back in those days.
Uh thanks for your call, Skip in Houston, Texas.
Yeah.
I I made this point I think it I think it was five or six years ago on this show, the last time there was one of these TSA controversies.
I said the the lines, this was back when they're introducing the secondary pat down thing, um, you know, where they'd swing you around and then they'd put put the run their hands up the inside of your thighs and uh then they'd swing you around and pat you on the bottom and everything.
We did it on Dancing with the Stars, and I came second.
It was uh it was very good.
It's a fan fascinating routine.
But th that uh at that time I said the the li the chaos in front of the security line is so bad now that it actually uh it would make more sense uh just to uh just to blow up if you're a terrorist, just to blow up the n uh non secure area.
And that's what these guys did in Brussels just a few weeks ago.
Just a few weeks ago, and dozens of people died.
And the TSA now, the most lavishly funded airport bureaucracy on the planet, is now making lines longer and longer and longer.
Uh and it gets to the heart of the critique uh that Trump made when he came on board.
