Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Yes, America's Anchorman is away, and this is your official EIB anchor baby, Mark Stein.
Honored to be with you live from Ice Station E.I.B. in far northern New Hampshire.
This is about as far as you can go and still be in America.
That's why the accents start to wobble when you get up to this latitude.
But we are here live, 1-800-282-2882 is the number if you wish to partake of America's number one radio show.
If you want to get on the show, 1-800-282-2882.

go third party doesn't doesn't mr Mr. Snerdley has already hit the floor.
He's so excited about the General Mattis Condy Rice Dream Ticket.
Whoever it is you want to be a president, whoever you favor for president, whoever you're opposed to.
Call 1-800-282-2882.
take anyone.
Rush is playing golf today.
He's hitting the links.
I don't think he actually wears plus fours although I'm sure they would be very stylish if he did favour plus fours.
But he's playing golf in a charity golf tournament.
He's super generous with his time like that, and it sometimes means that uh the show has to make do with a guest host, as it does today.
But Rush will return tomorrow to take you through the end of the week on the EIB network.
Uh happy international day against homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia to you.
I know it's a big day.
Happy International Day against homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia.
So if you biphobia, I d mister Mr. Snerdley is like so out.
He doesn't know what biphobia is.
Um I think I I I thought I was biphobic because I hate both gays and straights, but apparently that's not what it is.
Uh biphobia is where your phobic about uh about uh bisexuals.
That's uh uh that's apparently what that is.
And uh you g honestly, Mr. Surley, where you've been living, look out the window.
The parade, the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia Parade will be passing your window uh right now in uh in New York.
It'll be coming down right down uh Fifth Avenue.
Just look out the window.
Uh it's not going so well for Amy Toms, a twenty-two-year-old woman who favors a pixie haircut and likes to sport a baseball cap.
Uh, she went into the ladies' powder room at Walmart in Danbury, Connecticut, and despite being a woman, a biological woman, or a cisgendered woman, as the New York Daily News describes her, despite being a uh a woman, she was told she was obviously a transgender in order to get out.
Uh cisgender is when you were born a woman and you haven't decided to change.
That's the that's the new that's the new word.
Cisgendered.
Yeah, it's not like it's not like there's transgendered and cisgendered.
And if you're born a a woman, as as Amy Toms was, and you go into Walmart in Danbury, Connecticut, and you go in to use the little girls' room, she was told she was obviously a transgender woman in order to get out.
And uh you're not supposed to be here, you need to leave, she was told.
So a a cisgendered woman is mistaken for a trans woman and kicked out of the ladies' room.
Don't don't you hate it when that happens?
This this is America in the twenty-first century.
It's all transgendered bathrooms all the time.
But we'll try to get to some of the non-transgender news if there is any today.
Uh if any of it comes across the transom.
Uh one-eight hundred-two eight two two eight eight two.
Um if you're a Kentucky or Oregon Democrat, give us a call.
Let us know how the big primer is going.
If Bernie wins both tonight, it's bad news for Hillary.
If Hillary wins both, i it ought to be curtains for Bernie.
Um but if it's one apiece, I guess they'll both stagger on till California.
Uh Nevada Democrat headquarters remains closed following uh the their weekend convention, which turned extremely violent.
Uh it it looks like a scene from that Turkish Parliament riot that they had the uh a couple of weeks ago.
There was chair hurling among Democrats, among Democrats.
There's all these like pajama boys hurling chairs, uh booing Barbara Boxer, having a big it's yeah, chair hurling from pajama boys.
They're stamping their little pajama boy feet and getting in and getting furious at Barbara Boxer because she supports Hillary.
And there have been apparent death threats from Bernie supporters uh to Hillary.
This this is after, as we mentioned yesterday, the Hillary supporter and Hollywood actor Wendell Pierce was arrested for fill uh fiz physically assaulting one of Bernie's female supporters over the o over the weekend.
This is this is the Democrat Party.
All they are saying is give physical violence and death threats a chance.
The the Democrat Party is being torn apart uh by the Hillary Burney fight.
Kurt Schilling, uh great American sporting legend, uh until he was booted off uh what was it ESPN for doing his uh his little uh his little transphobic joke.
So on this International Day Against Transphobia, notorious ESPN transphobe Kurt Schilling uh has written a lengthy piece explaining why he's endorsing Donald Trump uh as well you might imagine, because obviously he fell victim to the politically correct enforcers, and he understood they were deadly serious, and they're willing to end your career over it.
And he's written a piece explaining why he's uh supporting uh Donald Trump.
So that's our way of connecting the International Day Against Transphobia with the uh current political news.
Um also on the election front, a new poll shows that Trump has narrowed Clinton's lead nationally to three points.
This is an NBC News survey survey monkey poll from Tuesday.
Uh it previously it showed that Hillary had a five-point advantage.
Now it's three points.
Forty-eight percent for Hillary, forty-five percent for Trump.
Uh that's margin of error stuff.
Here's the interesting thing.
Eighty-seven according to this poll, uh and it follows the poll from yesterday, the Gravis poll that showed Hillary with a two-point lead over Trump.
So in other words, uh this week's polls show where now it's a it's a wash, it's margin of error territory.
Eighty-seven percent of Republicans uh would back Trump, while just seven percent of Republicans would support Clinton.
On the other side, uh among Democrat voters, eighty-seven percent favor Clinton and just eight percent of Democrats support Trump.
That's interesting.
Uh there's actually more Democrats willing to support Trump than Republicans willing to support Clinton.
Uh among independents, uh Trump holds an eight-point advantage among independent voters.
Forty-four percent for Trump, thirty-six percent for Clinton.
So this is an uh interesting state of affairs at this uh this state uh state of the race.
I said yesterday I thought Trump would win.
Uh if Hillary does win, nobody you know, it's like six months out still, the election, and uh uh what do I know?
Uh you know, I come from countries where election campaigns are six weeks long.
Uh but it's six months out, and uh my uh sense is that Trump will win.
If Hillary does win, it'll be one of these things where she eeks out a very narrow victory.
So all the stuff people have been saying about that that that Hillary supporters and never Trump people uh wish to believe that it's gonna be a Hillary blowout.
That is not gonna happen.
That is not gonna happen.
Um these polls already show that in fact it's just in in those terms it's a competitive election.
It's uh it it's uh a two point lead for Hillary according to Gravis, it's a three point lead for Hillary according to this new NBC news poll.
But either way, it's not gonna be a Hillary blowout.
And that's why uh this uh talk about uh a third party run.
They th this third party run is b by the way is brilliant.
They've got everything.
They've got they've got media pundits lined up in support of it.
Uh they've got big uh Republican donors lined up in support of it.
They've got the most prestigious consultants lined up in support of it.
They've got Mike Murphy, who ran the incredibly successful Jeb Bush super pack, they've got Stuart Stevens, uh they've got Rick Wilson, they've got all the consultants, they've they've got a lot of the think tank and uh GOP intellectual class, they've got a lot of the big Republican high-rolling donors and bundlers.
What they haven't got is a candidate.
What they haven't got is a candidate.
And the more you have polls like this, the less likely there is to be a third party candidate.
So um you can as I said yesterday, if you want to talk about the third party and the third party run, there's a piece there's a fascinating piece in the Federalist, which explains today that if, say, Rick Perry uh and I don't know why they give Rick Perry as the example, because Rick Perry actually Rick Perry having described Trump as a as the cancer at the heart of the Republican Party has now endorsed him.
But they've got this thing uh explaining i uh over at the Federalist how if Rick Perry jumped in and was the third party candidate and just won Texas, that would be enough to deny both Hillary and uh Trump a majority in the electoral college.
Neither candidate would get to two hundred and seventy, and then it would be thrown into the House of Representatives, and the House of Representatives would uh vote to give it neither to Hillary nor to Trump, but to give it to Rick Perry, who'd who'd won his home state of Texas.
You can you can write all these uh all these fantasy scenarios, these alternative universe things.
It's like Spider Man.
I mentioned the Avengers uh movie yesterday, this Captain America Civil War.
They've got a new Spider-Man origin in that.
They uh his his mother, uh his aunt, Aunt May in the new Spider-Man is Marissa Tome.
I I I couldn't get over this.
Uh Aunt May in the Spider-Man things is supposed to be a little stooped white-haired old lady, but they've now turned her into this uh super cougar haughty Marissa Tomay, because they've given they've given Spider-Man a new origin story.
He's got like twelve different origin stories.
So if you get bored with one, there's another one.
These Republican election scenarios are coming the same way like that.
Oh, we're gonna have a contested uh in an alternative universe.
There's a contested uh convention in which on the seventh ballot it goes to George Pataki.
Uh none of it i i and now we've got this uh third party.
Rick Perry's gonna jump in, he'll win Texas, and that way the House of Representatives will vote to crown him.
They will discard the millions of people who voted both for uh Clinton and Trump and vote to crown and anoint Rick Perry of Texas in some alternative universe.
And if you're one of these big Republican donors writing checks to Mike Murphy, if you write want to write a check to Mike Murphy, because you gave him a hundred million dollars to get Jeb Bush to two point eight percent in in uh Iowa, and you think that's so impressive.
You can't wait to give him another hundred million dollars uh to find somebody to run as your third party candidate in an alternative universe.
If you want to live in that alternative universe for the next few months, that's fine.
Go ahead and do that.
Ba back in the real world the candidates are known and we have to live with that as is.
That's a fact, that's reality.
All this other stuff uh is uh as I said yesterday, it's just uh Marvel Comics fantasy uh for DCE Beltway types.
Mark Stein for Rush, we will take your calls 1-800-282-2882 and discuss all the news of the day in this turbulent election season straight ahead.
Hey, Mark Stein in for Rush on the EIB network.
Uh great to be with you.
Uh give it give us a call 1 800 282-2882.
The uh the uh American right is uh i i is uh supposedly at war over the results of the primary season, although this poll, this new poll from NBC News uh suggests that that is not the case, that eighty-seven percent of Republicans uh right now are prepared to support Trump.
Uh you don't get that impression if you uh follow either Twitter or you particularly if you follow the Twitter feeds of some of these uh consultants and pundits and all the rest of it, where they're still planning the third party candidacy and all the rest of it, uh but they are uh eighty-seven percent at the moment, which isn't bad, uh, before the convention, are planning to support the nominee, uh Donald J. Trump.
If you disagree with that, there's a lot of disagreement, just uh of the of the guest hosts among the guest hosts at the Rush Limbaugh show, when we all get together for the EIB guest host Christmas party, because rush doesn't let us come to the main EIB Christmas party, so we just have to go to the EIB guest host Christmas party.
Uh it is, it is, it's just like it is it's worse than being at the kiddie table at Thanks it uh at Thanksgiving, because we're just all the it's not like some of the kids like each other, all the guest hosts hate each other.
It's like Eric Erickson is uh never Trump, Mark Belling is you know, pretty much uh not Trump uh and uh and Rush is never Hillary, and me, I'm I'm I would say I'm uh uh I I'm better disposed toward Trump uh than most of the other guest hosts.
So it's very unpleasant at the EIB guest host Christmas party, um, which we usually hold uh in early May because we can't get a booking in any of the because you know the main EIB Christmas party is being held in December, so we usually hold ours in early May.
So it's all very fractious as we dissolve into all this bitter infighting.
And I think however the election goes, in November there are gonna be there are gonna be a serious discussion of where the American right goes next.
Uh and I said yesterday, which I think is the main people here talk about pe it's very easy to get distracted by Trump the celebrity, Trump the figure, Trump's women, Trump's hair, all the rest of it.
But the fact is Trump had an issue.
Everyone makes a joke about this guy uh when he entered the race in June.
But in fact he he he stuck the first real issue in the race when he brought up immigration.
Uh he brought up the wall.
Uh and on that issue, you know, all these people are saying never Trump, never Trump.
Uh uh uh uh what are you gonna bring to the party?
That the the Trump is the symptom of how the gap between the guys who run the party uh and the uh and the base widened to the par point where it became unbridgeable and made it right for a hostile takeover.
That's that's it's nothing to do with the hair.
It's nothing to do with the chicks.
Uh their bonuses, if you're interested in hair and chicks, but it's to do with this core bedrock issue, uh, which is that uh Trump uh said there's no need for mass illegal immigration.
The majority of the American people are opposed to mass uh immigration, uh particularly mass low skilled immigration, but also the kind of high skilled HB1 uh rackets or EB five rackets that have just resulted in the collapse of two ski resorts.
I uh uh i in in Northeast in the Northeast Kingdom as they call it of Vermont, in Bernie Sanders' backyard, every town that isn't a ski resort is dead.
Uh and the only two towns that are ski resorts, Jay and Mount Burke, uh uh have just collapsed uh because of a a a uh uh uh an EB five visa racket.
So people look.
Trump had a real issue here.
And there's a bipartisan consensus that they're not going to do anything about immigration, that they're not serious about it, that you have uh that that that all the all the politicians make gestures towards, you know, securing the border when it's an election year, and then in the non in the even numbered years they're all talking about securing the border, and in the odd numbered years when they're not running for election, they're all talking about amnesty, gang of eight type deals.
That's the real issue.
Uh and uh Mickey Kause, who's a Democrat, Mickey Kouse has a fascinating piece at his website on how as people are trying to explain how Trump stole the nomination from sixteen uh highly qualified Republican senators,
governors, and all the rest of it, as they're trying to explain how Trump snaffled the r the the uh the nomination for these guys, none of the big newspaper analyses are mentioning the issue that catapulted him into the lead when he suddenly promised to build a wall and stop illegal immigration.
And so the question for for uh Bill Crystal and Mike Murphy and the people who are solidly opposed to this guy is the easiest way to have driven a stake through him would have been to stolen that stole to steal that issue and get on the right side with your base.
So why didn't you steal that issue?
Why didn't you?
Hey, great to be with you.
Rush is uh off today.

Let us go to Sean in Exeter, New Hampshire.
Sean, uh, that's uh that's kind of kiddie corner to me.
I'm I'm in the northwest of the state and you're in the southeast.
What's what's on your mind, Sean?
Well, Mark, today I'm uh I'm sitting here listening to your show, and uh it's a little bit disheartening when I hear nothing but a Clinton and a Trump back and forth, especially when exit falls from everywhere ranging from RPP, PPP, and CNN all show at least in a general election, a ten to sixteen-point lead pointing towards Sanders.
And as far as the Nevada Convention goes, when you have a bunch of brown coats show up looking like Nazi SS, well, you know, there's gonna be a little contention there.
Yeah, you're you're referring to I like your characterization of the uh Democrat heavies.
Uh you're a Democrat, I take it, Sean.
You're a Bernie supporter.
No, I'm a disabled veteran that's also an independent.
Okay, well uh w well I you're you're right on the numbers that when uh when when you look at the Hillary uh Trump polls, it's kind of all uh 47, 43, 45, 42.
It's all in that ballpark.
It's like two, three, four, five quarters.
Well, you knew you're within that margin of the three, you know, uh one to three.
Yeah, and when you look at it with Bernie, um it's kind of Bernie fifty-two, Trump thirty-eight.
That's I think that's the most figure.
He came back almost to what it was a forty to fifty point deficit from when he hopped in the game.
Yeah, no, I'm uh I I don't I'm not gonna a movement of of this of this.
No, I don't I don't I don't deny that at I don't deny that at all.
I said last year, when he entered, I think this was July, I got a I got a piece at my website talking about uh Trump and Bernie.
Uh this would be last July, uh uh noting uh Bernie's strength.
And I've always said, my own view is that Bernie would be a much stronger candidate for the Democrats in the general election than Hillary is.
Hillary is uh then this gets beyond politics or political philosophy or partisanship of any kind.
The most important quality a candidate needs is he needs to connect with real human beings.
And uh that's well, obviously that's where Hillary cannot.
You know when she was just voted today, what was it by um uh she was the most corrupt politician.
Who what was that what who was that by?
That was judicial watchdog, just put that out today.
Or is it right, right?
And it's and it's and and and they uh the the Democrats have an advantage in that they sometimes have a stiff candidate and they can drag him across the f the finish line.
Um and it's not so easy on the Republican side to do that.
But there's no doubt, there's no doubt that when you just see Bernie Sanders with real life human beings, uh that there's the crackle of electricity between them.
And there's no such thing when you see Hillary Clinton with them.
Twenty years ago, her husband connected with people.
She doesn't.
Uh So i i i it it's even within families it varies.
Everybody thought that Jeb Bush was the genius in the Bush family, but as we learned last year, George W. Bush uh was the one who had an ability to connect with people, and Jeb Bush didn't.
And I think I do I I agree with you that I think Bernie would be much tougher for Trump to beat in a general election.
Um and uh what is the striking feature, if you take the never Trump critique of what's happened in primary season, uh you could you could make the point that the net result of primary season has been to move um most uh both parties to the left.
Uh Bernie Sanders has basically dramatically moved uh the Democrats to the left, and to a certain extent on uh on some of on issues like free trade and whatnot, Trump has done the same on the Republican side.
Uh and I uh and the question here is uh d uh in in a general election, how would that work out?
I mean, you could make the point that Bernie simply isn't as well known to Hillary and that once they started looking into things like his wife running up so much debt at Burlington College that it's closing down next month, uh that maybe uh Bernie would start to get some high negatives.
But the fact is that you c Bernie uh would be a much uh more formidable candidate if the Democrats hadn't stacked the system and made it all but impossible to win.
They basically have the super democracy uh uh what do they call superdelicates?
Yeah, and the superdelegates are basically the House of Lords of the Democratic Party.
They're they're this uh i elite uh uh uh class of people who uh get who who are there to prevent the emergence of a Bernie Sanders.
Um but but right now, Sean, you say you're an independent superdelegates in my own view.
When I was in the military, I don't care if you were a lieutenant, I don't care if you are a master chief.
Do your job.
Well, that's that's the point.
But they're in in in a in in a pro in a voting process, you shouldn't have loaded votes.
It shouldn't be that you, Sean get one vote for Bernie and a superdelegate in effect gets forty votes for Hillary.
Uh that's that's the problem you that that exists in the Democrat Party.
But but at the moment, I mean, Sean, you say you're an independent.
So I uh you vote which which primary did you vote in uh in uh in New Hampshire in February.
Did you vote in the uh GOP or in the Democrat primary?
Well, I was uh funny enough I had to vote for uh we know I voted for Sanders.
But uh while I was sitting there in my polling place, you know, trust me, when I was disgruntled and I spoke with someone, I was like, listen, I go, What do you mean I can't vote at an independent?
You know, bottom line.
I'm like, I don't want to be thrown into a category of right foot, left foot.
It's still the same person up top that's gonna be stepping on you.
Politics is just a shit.
Yeah, well I'm sympathetic up to a point, Shaw, but I mean the the point about being an independent is you can't have an independent primary because there's being independent means there's no party, so being independent means there's you.
So if you want to vote in a primary, you've got to vote in a party's primary, which is Republican or Democrat.
But th thanks for your call.
Look, he's got a point um that uh uh uh about Bernie.
These polls do show Bernie is a uh is a uh uh uh a a far tougher candidate to beat.
And I'd just like to expand on that, what I was saying about the most important thing is whether you can connect with people.
Whether you uh as a candidate can connect with real life human beings.
The one Sean lives in Exeter, New Hampshire.
That's down in the South East, I'm up in the Northwest.
It doesn't really matter where you are in New Hampshire.
For one year in every four, you have every potential president of the United States crawling around your neighborhood, and even if you have no interest in politics, you bump into them all uh the the at the county fair, in the diner, glad-handing you, even if you don't want to be glad-handed.
I mentioned uh uh my uh daughter uh and uh her her friend went to the county fair and they got hit on by Lindsay Graham, which is you know, there's a lot of things it's stressful when you're a the the father of a teenage girl, but one of the things you think you don't have to worry about is that your daughter's gonna hit on get hit on by Lindsay Graham.
You know, these are the you can't avoid meeting these candidates when you when you're uh live in New Hampshire.
And the first thing you notice is who connects with people.
That that spark, that's that spark, that crackle, where they're interested in you as a human being.
If they follow politics closely, they might know that, you know, Mike Huckabee is a social conservative and Rand Paul is more of a libertarian and Donald Trump is a populist and Marco Rubio is closer to a uh a a uh uh uh a Bush uh uh a foreign policy interventionist uh and uh relaxed on immigration type that you don't know about any of those categories when you just encounter
them.
What you're interested in is whether they connect with you as a human being.
And Mitt Romney didn't make that connection.
He really didn't.
He he re he just simply didn't.
And the reason why the 47% remark was damaging to him was because it confirmed the stereotype of him as a wealthy man who didn't connect with ordinary people where they live.
And that's the biggest danger of this of this of this whole business that you give the impression that you don't live where they have to live that you don't live in their world and that's the impression these Beltway types are saying.
They're saying we spent one hundred million dollars one hundred million dollars one hundred million dollars on Jeb Bush and these in great rubes out in the sticks didn't go for it.
So uh we'll need another we're gonna need another we're gonna need two hundred million dollars we're going to build an even bigger super pack and then we'll find some cookie cutter candidate stiff sock puppet that we'll stick our hand up and if we spend two hundred million dollars this time it'll work.
And it's nothing to do with that.
It's nothing to do with that.
Bernie Sanders had nothing going for him when he got in the race, except for the fact that he, without any party apparatus, he'd become a United States senator, which short to tell you that he knows something about connecting with people.
And likewise, a lot of these, a lot of the problems that Republicans, Democrats can drag a stiff over the finish line if they have to.
They did it with John Kerry.
John Kerry at the time in 2004 got more votes.
than any Democrat had ever got in any election ever completely incompetent uh candidate he couldn't go into a Wendy's and order a cheeseburger without sounding like he was an alien from planet Zongo.
The most important thing is whether you can connect with people as a human being and I don't care that's why this whole thing now this third party thing is we've got a great third party operation we've got the consultants in place.
We've got the donors we've got the uh Republican intellectual class in place we've got everything we need except insert name of candidate hair.
That's what got you in this mess in the first place.
I am a strong conservative.
I believe that, as Mrs. Thatcher used to say, the facts of life are conservative.
I believe in small government, not because I think that small government is an end in itself, but because it enables big liberty.
And the minute you have big government, you wind up with very small liberty.
Big government crowds everything out of the space, which is why we now have a national commissar of bathrooms in a nation of 300 million people.
A national commissar of bathrooms, which is a complete absurdity.
so that so that uh more and more areas of life the government is simply uh extending its tentacles big further and further into I am a small government conservative I believe in Western civilization I believe we are facing the end of Western civilization and I believe that in the other half of the free world in Western Europe we are witness we are about to witness the implosion of some of the oldest nation states on the planet.
Sweden, which uh is one of the wealthiest uh uh and most progressive nations on earth is about to implode under its insane uh migration policies.
This is this is serious business.
This is serious business uh And it ought to have been possible.
It ought to have been possible for a functioning party to find a strong principled conservative candidate who took all the right positions on these issues and at the same time had that human connection with people.
That human connection that uh enthralls an o uh an audience and makes them feel that the candidate understands them, relates to them, knows them where they live, is not a tourist in uh in in the broken down townships of America, but understands the reality of the lives they live.
And uh that's not a partisan, as I said uh to Sean in Exeter.
That's not a partisan thing.
You can have that on both sides.
Hillary doesn't have it.
She's a stiff.
She's a a an appalling candidate.
She has no political antennae whatsoever.
Uh and so if the reaction when you're uh f going up against Hillary Clinton is to think the answer to the challenge of Hillary Clinton is a hundred million dollars on Jeb Bush, you deserve to lose every cent of that one hundred million dollars.
Uh it's not the Republican base that are the rubes and suckers.
The guys who gave a hundred million dollars to Mike Murphy are the real Rubes and suckers.
Mark Stein for Rush, more straight ahead.
Hey, Mark Steinin' for Rush.
You know, I was talking about uh uh the uh the the EIB guest host Christmas Party, which we uh hold early in May, because we're we're not allowed into the main EIB Christmas Party in December.
And like I was wondering where like uh Jason Lewis was, if you remember Jason Lewis used to be a uh big time uh guest host uh for Rush, and uh he's running for Congress and he's just been endorsed by the uh Minnesota Republican Party.
Uh so Jason Lewis, uh former EIB guest host, might actually be in Congress uh starting in January.
So we certainly wish him well, 'cause uh it gives me high hopes of uh my campaign to be governor of New Hampshire.
You never know how it will go.
So where uh we we congratulate Jason on getting that endorsement, and will he be the first EIB guest host uh to make it into Congress.
I mentioned that today is the international uh day against uh homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia.
Uh Target, uh as you know, Target introduced their whatever it was, their transgendered bathroom policy, and their stock has continued to tumble.
Uh they were the ones who said you get to use any bathroom that you want.
You're not like this uh poor woman who was mistaken for a transgendered woman and kicked out of the ladies' room in Walmart in Target uh in in Target, whatever you look like, you can go into whatever bathroom you want, and one consequence of that, or at least it uh uh it's happened since they announced this policy, is that their stock has tumbled, which is something consider on this international day against uh transphobia.
I'm not sure what the answer is on this whole bathroom business.
Um you know, I don't know that there's a correct answer to it.
My my own view is that in the end uh we will ha all of us, every citizen will have to have a mandatory uh government installed catheter uh that comes out in the Attorney General's office in Washington.
I think that's really the only way we're gonna settle uh this whole transgendered bathroom issue.
Mark Stein in for us more ahead.
