Time Text
Yes, America's Anchorman is away today, and this is your official EIB anchor baby.
I just snuck across the border to use the bathroom.
I'm here today.
Rush is at a charity golf tournament.
Uh, but he will return for authentic full strength, all American, American as apple pie.
Excellence in broadcasting starting tomorrow and taking you through the end of the week.
He's amazingly generous with his time uh for these for these charities.
Uh and the only uh downside to it is that it means he occasionally has to be away from the microphone to fulfill his obligation.
But he will be back tomorrow for the real deal uh all the way through uh the end of the week.
I mentioned at the top of the show that today is the International Day Against Homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia.
And all the international organizations and uh a lot of the world leaders are issuing their messages, and in fact uh Canada, uh the the new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is marking the day by introducing an Obama style transgendered rights thing uh on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia.
And if you go to the UN the UNESCO website, it's got this little thing, uh it's got this nice little pretty illustration uh about uh uh uh about transgendered uh rights, showing that, oh, you know, people might be dangerous uh in danger because people say mean things to them at school uh and uh they shouldn't have things mean things said to them at school and people might be mean to them on the way to school and all the rest of it.
You know, we live in a world where uh right now uh uh ISIS is uh throwing people off the roofs of buildings for being gay.
It's burning people for being homosexual.
Uh the Prime Minister of Uganda uh passed a law uh outlawing homosexuality.
Uh and uh th what uh th you have so you have institutionalized so-called homophobia uh around the world, uh in in nations that all practice a form of law beginning with the letter I for Islamic, and all these people saying, Oh, it's the International Day Against Homophobia, uh have nothing to say about this.
They all think that being homophobic is uh somebody saying mean things to you at school because you suggested starting a gay straight alliance in your high school and the and the big jock on the football team didn't want to join in.
And we live in yet we live in a world where uh homosexuals are being burned alive or or they're being thrown off the roofs of buildings.
Because that's the dispute in the Islamic world.
They can't agree which uh one it is.
Imam Karadawi, whom the city of Boston, he he's he's the head of a big shot to Muslim Foundation.
Uh he's on the board of uh this uh big Islamic center that the city of Boston uh gave the land to to build.
Imam Karadawi's one of these a big buddies with the new Muslim mayor of London, and he says he's open-minded on homosexuality.
He can't decide whether we should throw him off the building or we should burn him alive.
And none of this oh, International Day Against Homophobia has nothing to say about any of that.
Nothing to say about any of that, uh because they'd much rather uh go on about uh uh uh so uh they they'd much rather go up against less motivated enemies.
Uh for example uh the uh guy who accused uh Whole Foods, Whole Foods, this is where liberals go to shop.
The guy who accused Whole Food Oh, wait a minute, Mr. Snudley is a Whole Foods fan.
How dare you produce the Rush Limbaugh Show when you're going to Whole Foods?
That's absolute what was it, Rush said?
If you don't like barbecue, you're not one of us.
You're not getting your barbecue.
Don't tell me you get your barbecue at Whole Foods, Mr. Snardley.
That's how it goes.
That's your death of the Republic right there, folks.
Mr. Snerdley shops at Whole Foods.
Anyway, Whole Foods, I wouldn't know, they don't have them in New Hampshire.
Uh Whole Foods.
Whole Foods.
Uh uh a guy goes, a gay pastor, Jordan Brown, three weeks ago, he he went to order a gay wedding cake from Whole Foods, uh uh and he wanted the phrase love wins iced on the top of it.
And instead he claimed three weeks ago, he got he got a cake with the uh phrase love wins and then underneath spelt out F-A-G.
Love wins fag.
So a homophobic slur.
And uh so he complained about it and he went public and uh it became a big deal in the media that this was a hate crime, that Whole Foods is uh now uh handing uh openly gay people homophobic wedding cakes.
You can't get a wedding cake without them adding a gay slur to it.
And then they showed the the store v video footage which showed him uh apparently purchasing the cake without the slur on it, uh and he apparently added the slur later.
And anyway, he's now uh he's now withdrawn his charge against Whole Foods and Whole Foods uh is not going to sue him for damaging this reputation and he's and he's apologized to the LGBT community for diverting attention from real issues.
And he he says he wants to apologize to Whole Foods for questioning the company's commitment uh to its values.
And if you look at the way this um story has been reported, there's a very even when a guy he's basically perpetrated a fake hate crime to make a very gay friendly store look homophobic.
That's what this guy did.
And uh the Washington Post reports the story um saying uh Pastor Brown normally preaches about love and acceptance with a particular focus on outreach to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Christians at the church he leads in Austin, Texas.
But after he picked up a cake in April that was supposed to say love wins, he turned to preaching in the media and in court.
No, he didn't.
This guy lied.
He lied.
He he got a cake that was what he wanted that said love wins, beautifully iced on the gay wedding cake.
And then he went and he got a little icing funnel and he got some i he made some icing, he he heated up the uh the sugar and the colouring and he uh and he went to the trouble of icing the letters F A G on his gay wedding cake to make Whole Foods look like homophobes, look like holophobes.
Homo it's not Whole Foods, it's homof homo holophoba Whole Foods is whole holophobic.
Uh he went to the trouble of icing F A G. Do you know how difficult is that?
I used to ice cakes when my when my little girl was a young girl and she was still impressed by it and and and didn't want the Shrek cake or whatever from the finding Nemo cake from the official cake uh store.
I used to go to the trouble of icing her birthday cake.
I used to ice cakes, uh Mr. Sudley's now going, uh, you used to ice cakes.
Come on, you shop at Whole Foods.
There's not a real man in in a hundred mile radius.
It's the new it's it's yeah, exactly.
Yeah, that's right.
It's just there's no men anymore.
We're all girls now.
Yes, I iced my daughter's birthday cake.
And it's incredibly difficult.
Uh when a real man, when a manly man ices a cake, it's a hell of a mess.
You know, you have to have the number of goes, you have to have that like little paper bag you're icing the name on the cake.
This guy went to the trouble.
Most of these fake hate crimes, they just smear blood uh on a on a college dorm door uh in the shape of or they draw a swastika or they hang a noose.
All the and this guy, he he went to the trouble of making icing and icing the letters F-A-G on his hate crime wedding cake from Whole Foods.
And uh that's what's that's what's fascinating about this.
The whole identity politics thing, which is the most poisonous thing that is uh that has come to the Western world.
Because the great thing about the Western world, particularly the common law world, common law has never uh re acknowledged groups.
Common law says you are an individual, and your rights derive from the fact that you're an individual before the law.
And it doesn't matter whether you're a gay individual or a transgendered individual or a black individual or a Muslim individual, under common law, in the common law tradition, your rights derive as an individual before the law.
And now we live in this identity group world, and more to the point, an identity group hierarchy that is defined mostly by victimhood, by the fact that uh everybody else is out to get you.
So if you live in a reasonably nice place and you shop at Whole Foods, if you're a gay pastor, for example, which would be a contradiction in terms uh in uh at many points in human history.
Uh if you're a gay pastor and you've got a gay church and you shop at Whole Foods and you have a pretty nice life, and yet the whole uh mode of society today is that identity groups politics is so overpowering that the haters, you'll you'll you're you need someone to hate you, and the haters aren't hating you enough.
And you wind up going to Whole Foods and ordering a gay wedding cake and icing the letters F A going to the trouble of icing the letters F A G on your wedding gate.
Think of that guy.
Think of him making the heating heating the uh sugar, putting in the coloring coloring, uh putting it into the little piping bag with the uh greasy paper, and and painstakingly beautifully lettering the letters FAG so he can make whole foods look like haters.
And this is the sickness about identity group politics, uh, and for which the left is almost entirely to blame uh in that it asks people not to define themselves as Americans, not to define themselves as citizens,
uh, and not to conduct their relationships on the basis of a citizen treating with other citizens, but ask them instead to look on themselves as uh as an as a functionary of a particular grievance industry.
And when you do that, you end up with the insanity of this this deranged lunatic whom the Washington Post is apologizing for.
They're saying, well, after he picked up a cake in April that was supposed to say love wins, he turned to preaching in the No, he didn't, he lied.
You twitter the Washington Post, you incompetent journalist.
He didn't turn to anything.
What he did was he iced the letters FAG.
He's so poisoned by the identity politics where we're supposed to think of ourselves as members of this group or that group, and we come in a hierarchy of groups, so as we discussed yesterday, uh at a German swimming bath, uh migrants Trump women, and in an Idaho bathroom, uh transgendered Trump women, we're supposed to think of ourselves as victim groups with a hierarchy of victimhood.
And it has been one of the most disgraceful and damaging things, to the point where this guy shouldn't be preaching to anyone.
He's mentally ill.
He's mentally ill.
A guy who is so twisted and insecure and obsessed with identity politics that he painstakingly ices FAG on a wedding cake served to him by a pro-gay wedding clerk at a pro-gay cake store.
That's where identity politics leads.
You need someone to hate you.
And if and if you live in a reasonably civilized society, there aren't enough people to hate you.
So you have to conjure phantoms.
And then you end up in a world where you can't even recognize the people who really hate you.
Because that guy's problem is not whole foods cake department.
That guy's problem is the vast arc of the Sharia world where they want to burn him alive or toss him off a building, and he's too stupid and twisted by this insane identity politics of the left that he can't even see it.
And that's where the dead end of identity politics leads.
To a pathetic uh guy who's been given a wedding cake by a uh uh a pro-gay wedding store, and he's sitting there painstakingly lettering the FAG in icing on the cake.
Uh Identity politics is a dead end.
Uh in a free society, we are citizens and we treat with our fellow citizens as individuals equal before the law.
Mark Stein for Rush, one eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two.
Hey, Mark Stein, in for us.
Let's go to Doug on uh the Isle of Palm, South Carolina.
Not Palm Beach, not Palm Springs, but Isle of Palm.
Doug, you're live on the Rush Limbo Show.
Great to have you with us.
Thank you, Mark.
You and I grew up in the same square mile, suburban Toronto, 25 years apart.
Oh, right.
Oh, that's uh that's uh that's that's that's great.
You where where are you from?
The Royal York Etobicoke kind of caller?
Exact oh, wonderful, wonderful.
Great to have you uh south.
Okay.
First of all, uh when Russia announced your coming on this week, I pulled out America alone because I thought I should just sort of refresh myself.
In two thousand and six, you called what's happening in Europe on a like a play by play over about fifty pages.
Um it's exactly what's you you were incredibly prescient.
Yeah, I didn't want to be.
If you write a kind of apocalyptic book, you want to do it so people won't uh people will prevent the scenario from happening.
I I think I I think I've got a uh section in there called Erabian Night uh as uh uh Europe descends into Eurabia, and I talk about the uh four horsemen of the uh eupocalypse or whatever I call it in there.
And and basically everything I did say uh uh about the demographic decline and the uh uh resurgence of Islam, uh basically, instead of saying, Oh, this is terrible, we need to avert this, uh Angela Merkel in Germany said this is great, and put her foot on the gas and decided to accelerate the process.
So it it it gives me uh uh no uh pride uh to to realize I was right on that, because I think it's a tragedy what's uh what's happening in Europe, and I certainly don't want anything uh similar to happen to happen here, but uh that is a prescient book, and uh if uh if you're a Rush Limbaugh listener and you haven't read that book, it stands up pretty well today.
Not in not a hundred percent these things never do, but in terms of uh the demographic decline of Europe and what is happening in Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, Sweden, the Netherlands, it's pretty much on the money, and uh e even from uh this distance, Doug.
Now a question.
Okay.
I know your UK credentials and your global thoughts.
What do you think is going to happen with Brexit, the UK's attempt to uh dis disengage from Europe?
Well, I'm in favor of Brexit because uh I I think the European Union is is a uh is uh is a super centralized state.
The reason the United States has survived is because uh until fairly recently it was a decentralized federation.
Uh if it if it had been as centralized as the European Union is trying to be, it would have collapsed uh by about 1793.
Uh we're now seeing that centralization uh with Obama's appointment uh of the Attorney General as uh Chief Commissar of Bathrooms from Maine to Hawaii.
That's the kind of thing they do in the European Union.
Uh th this guy Herman Van Rompoy, who is an apparatchic who uh m under some backroom deal between the Germans and the French gets to call himself president of Europe.
He's an obscure Belgian, uh no one had ever heard of, and now he's an obscure Belgian no one's ever heard of with President of Europe on his business card.
It's amazing how that happens over there.
But this guy Herman Van Rompoy uh said a couple of years ago, this is the beginning of the age of global governance.
Where do you go to vote out global governance if you object to it?
What polling station, what town hall, what school gym do you get to go and get a ballot paper if you disagree with global governance?
That's how the the elite in the European Union look at it.
And the fact is uh that for Britain, which is uh t uh off the coast of Europe, but throughout its history, uh has been an outward looking nation.
That's why it settled North America and uh and Australia and New Zealand uh and uh it went to India and to Belize and to South Africa and all these other places.
It doesn't primarily think of itself as a continental power.
And Doug, I am in favor of the citizens of the United Kingdom voting to leave the European Union in the referendum next month.
And uh I was honored to appear on stage with uh in Toronto recently with Nigel Farage, who is the leader of the UK Independence Party.
The fact of the matter is that we are at a critical uh time for both halves of the Western world in North America and Europe, where they are turning in in in on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, they are turning into these uh super elite technocrat super states,
centralized superstates, where a small number of clever people, whether it's the curvature of bananas in Europe or transgendered bathrooms in America, which is also not unrelated to the curvature of your banana, uh they are declining into these centralized super states, and that's wrong.
Yeah, Rush is out today, but don't forget he will return tomorrow.
The real deal, uh all American excellence in broadcasting from the man himself.
Uh he's at a charity golf tournament today.
Uh but if you're missing him, go to Rushlimbaugh.com and uh take out a subscription to the Limbaugh letter, which is full of great stuff.
Uh he interviews uh leading conservatives.
He does a great job.
He's interviewed me in in that uh magazine, uh and there's lots of good stuff uh from Rush himself in a convenient and attractive form that is the perfect gift if you just want to spend uh uh a quiet uh 90 minutes of an evening uh just sitting in your recliner, looking at the sunset, reading the limbo letter, go to rush247.com and you can get a subscription to it, and the man himself will return tomorrow.
Um, I was talking about this guy with the hate crime, uh the fake hate crime, which is what most of them are.
They're these artificially iced hate crimes, uh where the guy goes uh to get a uh uh a gay wedding cake from Whole Foods, and in fact the the the fellow who baked the cake for him was a gay baker, so a gay baker at a gay friendly store, and then this guy went back and iced painstakingly iced the words F-A-G on it.
And I was describing the way that's the difficulty I had when I used to ice birthday cakes for my daughter's birthday.
And I've had all these emails and Snerdley is still Snerdley won't let won't let go of that.
There are no real men anymore, Snerdley.
Let's just uh face it.
You know, you're shopping at Whole Foods, I'm icing cakes.
There's no men.
Forget it.
It's over.
We're all girls now.
Uh that's why we all have to use the girls' bathroom.
The age of men is gone, and we are all girls.
Um actually there is a there is a point I saw that you sent me that thing this morning.
There's some story somewhere which is complaining on this transgender rights thing that we're just focusing on um male to female transgenders like like Caitlin Jenner, uh, who because we're so shallow that we're just obsessed with this uh conventional shallow,
essentially male ideas of feminine beauty like Caitlin sprawled all over Vanity Fair, and we're not talking about all the uh all the female to male uh transgenders like uh Chaz Bono and there's this you sent me this whole thing on this.
And the reason we don't do that, by the way, is because of the the discrepancy for every nine men who decide to become women, only one woman decides to become a man.
So there are nine Caitlyn Jenners for every Chaz Bono.
So net, the whole process, this whole transgender rights thing is an entire uh 90% net transfer from the male sector to the female sector.
That's what's go the No, there's no point to being a man at all anymore.
There's absolutely no point.
There's no point, and that's why everyone in the end we will all be women, we'll all be icing cakes at Whole Foods.
But since I mentioned that, uh I've had all these emails and tweets and things from people saying, what are you on about?
All the difficulty of icing.
You just go and you can you can buy this thing like a toothpaste tube from uh Betty Crocker or whoever it is, uh and you just like press it and the icing comes out perfectly every time.
What are you wasting time heating up sugar and putting it in a piping bag and and all the rest of it.
Listen, listen, this is what's wrong with America today.
When I commit a fake hate crime, right?
Okay, when I go to a homophobic bakery and I ask for a gay wedding cake, it's totally not in the spirit.
Do you think Martha Stewart would use some Betty Crocker mix to uh to ice her her hate fake hate crime, anti gay homophobic wedding and cake?
Of course not.
If if Americans, when they're committing fake hate crimes, can't even be bothered doing their own icing on their homophobic wedding cakes, what is this country coming to?
So I I I uh yeah, I I'm not going to I'm not gonna join these people just uh t taking the shortcut and saying, Oh, here's one here's you know, you don't switch on Martha Stewart's show and she says, Oh, here's a homophobic wedding cake I made earlier.
No, you gotta do the real work of doing the icing yourself.
International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, a uh be careful, this is a warning for those of you who were wanting to do your bit against transphobia.
A foreign tourist in the Thailand city of Pataya was doing his bit to combat transphobia by having sex with a transsexual escort in his hotel room uh when he got carried away, banged his head on the wall, and died.
So if you are this man died in the battle against transphobia.
He's uh he's one of the fallen heroes in the battle of transphobia.
He he was so anxious to combat transphobia uh that he he had over vigorous sex with a transsexual prostitute in Thailand, banged his head on the wall and died.
Let that be a cautionary tale to you.
And uh, you know, if uh if uh if if Obama is as serious about this uh as he purports to be, I think he's going to be handing out uh a medal of freedom or whatever to this guy because he played his part uh in the in the war against uh transphobia.
Uh where is all this heading?
Uh employers.
New college grads aren't ready for workplace.
Gee, there's a surprise.
This is from CBS News.
Many people fresh out of college who succeed in landing work in recent years may need to face a painful truth.
Their employers often don't think they're ready for the job.
According to a survey released today by Payscale, which provides data on salaries, and the executive development firm Future Workplace, nearly ninety percent of all recent college graduates considered themselves well prepared for their jobs.
Uh, because they've got great self esteem.
They don't know nothing, but they got terrific self esteem.
Unfortunately for young employees, only half of hiring managers shared that opinion.
More than half of all companies, sixty percent, said new graduates lacked critical thinking skills and attention to detail, uh 56%, while forty-four percent found fault with their writing proficiency, and thirty-nine percent were critical of their public speaking ability.
So these uh new college graduates, they lack critical thinking skills, uh they lack writing proficiency, uh they uh lack public speaking ability.
Why would you be surprised at this?
They spend whatever it is now four to six years getting a bachelor's in colonialism and transgender studies, and they're taught to be alert for every microaggression.
And if if a mic if if a microaggression is occurring on the other side of town, uh then the college has to build a safe space to put them in uh and uh and to make them safe in their in in their safe space.
Why would you be surprised that when you make the mistake of hiring these people, they lack critical thinking skills, writing proficiency, uh, and public speaking ability.
Uh this is the this is the new world.
We we are gonna live in a world where everybody goes to college until the age of thirty-two, and they do these non subjects and they spend uh uh essentially an ever longer period of life in this weird bubble alert for microaggressions, demanding the safe space be ever more fluffily insulated.
And then when they come out into the real world and you make the mistake of hiring these guys, you find out they don't know nothing.
That's uh that's the state we're in, according to this uh new survey from Pay Scale and the executive development firm Future Workplace, as reported by CBS News.
Uh and it's about really the skills gap.
you know, college, university used to be a very particular thing that very few people went to, and you w went there to pursue an academic discipline.
This is where uh I disagree with Marco Rubio.
Marco Rubio was making snide cracks about philosophy majors uh during during his campaign.
In fact, philosophy is a genuine uh field of scholarship.
It's a real subject, and it involves a lot of old dead people with funny names writing in funny languages, and it's hard to do.
It's not an easy subject to do philosophy.
If you do transgendered studies, that's easy.
You can do it in your sleep.
You can do it in the bathroom.
You'll you'll get points for doing it in the bathroom.
Uh those are not real subjects of academic discipline.
And so if you have the uh situation now where college debt in America is over a trillion dollars and it's more than credit card debt, and it's a trillion essentially people people have taken on a trillion dollars of debt to master pseudo-subjects of no economic value.
Uh the idea that when they've taken on these huge debts, uh the pseudo skills they have mastered for the cost of a six-figure sum are going to be any use for the lives they want to live uh is uh is is completely ridiculous.
And this is what this survey can confirms.
Um the college majors with the lowest early career salary are are ones with uh in in family and consumer sciences.
What what is that?
What is family and consumer if you're if you're a family and consumer science major, apparently you have the lowest early career salary.
It's 28,000 a year, which is you do the math.
If you've taken on, if you paid sixty grand a year for four years uh to for a starting salary of twenty-eight thousand, you do the math on that.
In family and consumer sciences, I don't even know what that is.
If you know what family and consumer sciences is uh and you've got a degree in it, uh tell me.
But at any rate, we do not appear to be for the for taking on a trillion dollars in debt, we do not appear to be producing young people with the basic skills such as critical thinking, critical thinking, uh to do the kind of jobs uh that the cost of their education would presuppose that they're being lined up to do.
Mark Steinin Farush, we'll take your call straight ahead.
Mark Stein Farush.
Uh let us go to Steve in Boyne City, Michigan.
Uh Steve, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Great to have you with us.
Mark, it's great to be with you.
Um I have a question for you.
Um there's obviously a con uh a spectrum of people who call themselves conservatives, and you would you describe uh how you thought uh how you thought you are a conservative, you know, what you believe in that spectrum.
I consider myself uh very much the same as you.
And so uh normally when this type of thing happens where um I don't get the kind of candidate in in my party that I would like, I hold my nose and vote for them because the alternative is uh not uh a pleasant alternative.
Um people who are uh national speakers, national media people who are quite conservative and who are quite um you know intelligent and moral and have integrity that I respect are saying that this they're they are concerned that this situation today is different than previous presidential elections in that um they're concerned that the economy is headed in a very bad direction,
regardless of who gets in, and if Trump should get in, it will uh make things vastly more difficult uh for a more conservative, uh a true conservative down the road or even a libertarian.
What uh are your thoughts on that?
Well, I I I think there's the there's there's two ways to look at that.
F for start, I think if Hillary gets in, uh we will be on the same trajectory we've been in the eight years, which is uh w the hi the the short show of what's happening is that um Americans are falling out of the middle class and getting back into the middle class is getting beyond the reach of many of them.
So we're having greater economic uh immobility in this country, lack of economic mobility.
So there's a group of people who run everything, like uh the guys who was mentioning yesterday, these twelve-year-old pajama boys who get jobs as speech writers for Obama uh like uh Ben Rhodes and the two fellows who were joking about if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor on uh the Charlie Rose show on PBS.
And they make the decisions and there's a big great big f vast swamp of people uh at the bottom who live with the consequences of the the decision.
And people whose parents and grandparents had steady work that enabled them to lead a middle class life in a nice three-bedroom house on a decent sized lot in a non-crime-ridden part of town, that life is increasingly being closed off to them.
If Hiller is elected, that trajectory will accelerate and we'll bifurcate in the way that Latin American countries do.
There's the president and his elite and a big swamp of pe dysfunctional mass at the bottom and a smaller and smaller middle class.
Uh against that is Trump.
And to be honest, Steve, nobody knows what would happen if Trump were to be elected, because it'd be a wild ride, it'd be an experiment, it'd be America taking a flyer uh on uh on a kind of president that nobody has uh ever seen before in this country, uh where traditionally the presidents emerge uh from one or other particular uh particular party.
So that's my that's my honest answer.
He's a businessman and he's successful in business.
What none of us know is whether the skills that are required to put up a Trump resort in Scotland are the same skills that are required uh to manage uh the Department of Housing and Urban Development or the Department of Health and Human Services,
whether the skill set that builds a Trump casino in Atlantic City is uh the same skill set required for managing the one of the biggest bureaucracies on earth.
Uh that's that's the honest answer, Steve.
We don't know how it would take.
Well, it's not a scary answer necessarily, up against the certainty of decline, which is what uh which is what is being offered by Hillary.
Th the f the fact is, if you're right and and there is an economic depression looming, uh then whoever is in charge of that will get the blame for that.
Democrats get less blame because they can still blame it on George W. Bush.
And if we have an un uh uh an unending chain of Democrats for the next six decades, they'll s uh they'll still be blaming it on a decision George W. Bush took uh uh at the beginning of the century.
Uh Trump Trump uh if you if you are scared by those choices, the certainty of continuing decline or the wild ride with Trump, the way to look on it and is this, Steve, just just quickly, we've got a break approaching, but I I want to get this in because it's quite an important thought.
Trump would be a president from no party.
He basically joined the Republican Party twenty minutes before he announced he was running for it.
So in a sense, he would be he would be uh in the White House as a president of no party.
And one good effect of that might be that Congress might reassert its prerogatives, which they haven't done in decades, and Congress might act uh start to act legitimately as the legislative branch, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party both uh would not be natural bedmates of Trump.
And that actually might, in the long run, uh a a uh uh a Congress reasserting its privileges might be one of the best things that comes out of this situation.
But as a as I said, Steve, you know, the honest answer is that it is a a leap into the unknown, uh, whereas Hillary is a leap into the certainty of accelerating long-term decline and ultimately the end of America as a superpower.
Mark Stein for Rush, more to come.
Mark Stein in Farush.
You know, we were talking about that fake uh hate crime with the guy uh basically icing his own homophobic wedding cake and then uh and then accusing Whole Foods of it.
I don't believe in hate crimes.
I'm in favor of prosecuting crimes uh in a timely manner, which is getting more and more difficult in this country.
I'm in favor of prosecuting crimes as crimes.
But hate crimes is a is a bogus category that incentivizes identity group grievance.
