Yeah, happy happy Christmas bang holiday Wednesday or whatever it is uh today, uh wherever you are.
It's the season of guest hosts, wall-to-wall guest hosts.
There are more guest hosts at the EIB network than there are Rockettes performing at the Trump inauguration.
And if you watch us, if you if you manage uh to get this on the Ditto Cam, by the way, this is a real premium subscription.
You can see me, Mark Belling and Buck Sexton all leg kicking higher than the Rockets, because we've been practicing.
Uh Bug Sexton is going to come uh in and entertain you and enlighten you later in the week.
But this is your undocumented anchor man.
Honored to be here from Ice Station EIB.
We've got like a kind of Ice Station EIB uh backup facility in another godforsaken part of uh the North Country, and uh I said that as if I was joking, but in fact I'm not.
And um uh and if you are uh a celebrity fleeing the country, if you're Cher, if you're Lena Dunham, uh if you're Amy Schumer, uh do swing by and say uh say hello.
You can't miss us.
We've got a big sign up on the highway saying uh last rush guest host before the border.
Mr. Snowley said I should mention people think of me as uh just one of nature's guest hosts, you know, but you're okay like uh once every two or three months you can like come down from the hills and hold it together for a couple of hours on the radio.
Uh but you shouldn't really try.
If you're one of nature's guest hosts, you could sho you shouldn't really try and then move to the next step of being a non-guest host like Rush, because that's a h highly different skill set.
And I was prevailed upon uh uh uh uh a little while back to uh do something called the Mark Stein Show.
And uh I I didn't quite grasp the concept.
So I said, so I'll be guest hosting occasionally for a guy called Mark Stein.
Is that how it works?
And they said, No, no, you are Mark Stein and you won't be guest hosting, uh you'll be hosting the show.
And we haven't done it on radio because you would have to be nuts to try and compete with Rush.
I have no desire to compete with Rush.
He is the best at what he does, and he has been doing it uh for uh over a quarter century now, and he is brilliant at it, and no one is gonna be better than him at it.
And you'd have this is the only radio show I want to do.
I love being here, it's a great privilege.
But they said this was television, so it's a completely different thing.
We surround you with show girls in spangled tights.
Uh we're recruiting them from the Rockets who uh have pulled out of the Trump inauguration.
So you'll be surrounded by leggy show girls, it's a TV thing, and uh you don't have to worry about uh the competition is uh is a lot less if you look at the collapsed late night ratings of the uh so-called alleged late night comics and whatnot.
Uh so we'll be starting that uh imminently, and you can find out about it at CRTV.com and we did do a spectacular Christmas special.
Um so if you're a member of the Orthodox Church and it isn't Christmas yet, then this is the show for you.
If if you are uh a member of uh Western Christianity, it's come a bit too late, so you might want to hold off on the Christmas show uh for another eleven and a half months.
But uh but it's up there at CRTV.com.
We got uh lots of uh guests, uh big ninety minute spectacular, and uh that that will be uh presaging the start of a daily show any moment soon.
And I hope if you've enjoyed my occasional appearances once every three, four, five months on Rush, uh, that you can try and uh get used to handling me every single day of the week, because that's what we're gonna be trying to go for.
But you can find out more at CRTV.com.
And if you haven't seen the Christmas show, you may you may enjoy it.
You never know.
You never know.
Um I mentioned I mentioned uh the the pressure on people uh to distance themselves from Trump uh and and the determination of the elite to make this pre to denormalize this presidency, which I think is is terribly, terribly damaging in a presidential republic.
I speak as the subject of her Canadian Majesty, and in a parliamentary system, the Prime Minister is just this week's bloke in a suit, and there'll be another one along in a moment, as there was when David Cameron was succeeded by Theresa May in Australia when Tony Abbott was deposed by Malcolm Turnbull, they come and they go in the great churn of things.
But in a presidential republic, the guy, like it or not, is head of state.
So when uh the when the the left is attempting to denormalize the head of state and delegitimizing the head of state, they're actually embarking on something profoundly dangerous that that is that will rot and corrupt uh the the basis on which this republic is organized.
And it's deeply damaging, and it and it shouldn't be taken lightly.
And I'm I'm struck at by uh the number of people now asking Hunter College to fire the associate professor of urban studies, this is Matthew Lazner, he and his husband, Dan Goldstein,
were the fellows who accosted Ivanka Trump uh on a plane while she was flying down to Florida uh and berated Ivanka and her family um and eventually wound up getting kicked off uh the jet blue flight.
Uh because apart from anything else, uh this stuff just renders uh civilization impossible.
If you can't actually share a plane uh with the child of someone you didn't vote for, you can't exist in the same country.
We might as well have people we might as well have people talking about a two-state solution for the United States.
We might as well have John Kerry standing up on TV and droning away for 90 minutes uh about how we need to remove the provocative Republican settlements in Manhattan uh that are an insult and provocation uh to all the Democrats living there.
And so Trump Tower needs to be dismantled, and the people living in this Republican settlement should be rehoused in some red state somewhere.
Because if you can't share a plane with the family of someone...
That uh you didn't vote for, you can't be part of a participatory democracy.
You seem to think we live in a one party state.
And if you don't uh and if you didn't uh you're you're if it turns out it's not a one party state, but that for some reason it's a two-party state, and this time the other guy's won, uh, and you can't accept that, you're the problem.
You're the problem.
Because the pendulum swings, the pendulum swings.
Uh the pendulum has swing has swung throughout American history.
There have only been, I think, four occasions uh when a uh a president has been succeeded by a member of his own party since the uh I think uh since the Civil War.
And on two of those occasions, the two Democrat occasions, the only two Democrat occasions, it was because the incumbent president, the incumbent Democrat died in office, FDR and J JFK, and then we had Truman and LBJ.
So for a third Democrat term, that would actually have been unprecedented in American history.
So if you're surprised by what happened, uh you you're an idiot who doesn't know anything, because these are eight-year pendulum swings that have been part of the pattern uh of a two-party system for almost the entirety of American history.
So this guy be w behaved in an absolutely boorish and vulgar way.
Uh and Ivanka Trump is not her father.
She's someone who just happened in the genetic lottery to be born to him.
Uh and nor are her children.
The idea that you should just ball out people like this.
And the one thing I will say about Ivanka Trump, and I think this is true for the Trump kids generally, Ivanka behaved perfectly with that guy.
And he's complaining.
This guy and his husband are complaining that that's uh the reason they were thrown off the plane.
Uh they were thrown off the plane because she behaved well and you guys didn't.
You bullied a woman.
I mean, for a start, that's kind of creepy and unmanly, isn't it?
Too much tofu, all your uh too much phylloestrogen coursing through your veins.
So you're you're unmanly enough to start bullying a woman.
Th and Ivanka behaved brilliantly.
Ivanka behaves superbly on this.
Uh I I I always it's not an easy thing being the child of a political leader.
Um My friend Carol Thatcher, who is uh Mrs. Thatcher's daughter, and is I loved Mrs. Thatcher, but Carol is my favorite Thatcher.
She's just an absolute delight to be with.
Uh we worked together for many, many years, uh, and I adore her.
And a couple of days after Mrs. Thatcher was toppled by the backstabbing eunuchs of her own party, um, uh, we happened to be in a pub.
And we were just in some pub, and this punk poet came up, uh called Seething Wells, who was like a a member of the angry left, and he started stabbing his finger in Carol's face uh uh because he was gloating about her mum having been deposed.
And he said, basically your mum, he he was furious though at what his uh what what Carol's mother had done to the left in Britain, and he was jabbing his finger in her chest and going, basically your mum just totally smashed the working classes, uh, which is an accusation that the left always leveled.
But they used to say basically Thatcher just totally smashed the working classes, and it loses a bit of its force if you take out the word thatcher, snarl thercher, and replace it with your mum.
And uh uh and uh and Carol was perfectly relaxed about it.
She just goes, uh don't let it get to you.
Uh uh, would you like a drink?
Should we be standing at the bar?
She just ordered a couple of beers and said asked him if he wanted one too.
And it requires enormous security and resilience to do that.
And you always have to and her calm was all the more remarkable when you bear in mind when you've got some shrill little dweeb like that, who seems to think that it it's that his vote at the ballot box isn't enough, that he somehow has the right to take it to the children of his political opponent personally, and to the grandchildren of his political opponent.
You always have to be very careful these days.
You have to think, well, is he just some shrill hysterical ninny who's been face down in the tofu for too many years?
Or is he actually some psycho who's gonna suddenly pull a knife out from somewhere and plunge it into into my stomach?
You've got to be very calm in these circumstances.
And I congratulate Ivanka Trump on the way she handled that.
But let's let's be clear about this.
Let's be clear about this.
These guys want to do this for the next four years, and if necessary, the next eight years.
They want to poison every aspect of life, and they're serious about it.
They're absolutely deadly serious about doing this to every aspect of life.
And that's why the Roquettes or Andrea Bocelli appearing or not appearing at the Trump inaugural is so important to them.
Because if it if they can contain Trump to this weird ghetto, if they can just sort of wall him up uh uh uh behind the White House, and he never seeps into the wider culture.
Trump is funnier.
You know uh th I I saw something the other day, Stephen Colbert uh was on uh what's it called?
Face the Nation, is that what it's called?
The thing that Bob Schiefer used to do.
Uh and whoever it is, they had Stephen Colbert on, whose ratings are dying since he replaced David Letterman.
And he did some terrible election night special that was he hadn't been expecting a Trump victory, so he didn't have any Trump gags for it.
That's the bubble these guys live in.
And they asked him about advice for Trump.
Trump should be giving advice to Stephen Colbert.
Trump's funnier than Stephen Colbert.
I I heard Trump's uh riff on Martin uh what's he called?
Martin McNally, Martin McMally, Martin O'Malley, Martin O'Malley, the guy, the third guy, the guy who was running against uh Bernie Sanders and um uh and Hillary.
I heard Trump riff on Martin O'Malley at the Flynn Theatre in Burlington for about 15 minutes, and it was funnier than any riff I've ever heard Stephen Colbert say.
It was funnier than any riff I've ever heard Trevor Noah say.
These these guys, the idea of Stephen Colbert giving advice to Trump, Trump should be giving advice to Stephen Colbert.
Hey, why not try moving back into comedy?
That might make a nice mid-career life change for you right now.
Trump should be giving advice to Stephen Colbert, but these guys are serious.
These guys are serious.
They're social justice warriors first and comedians second.
And uh and they don't want they want to denormalize, you know, they don't want they want to de-normalize Trump, delegitimize Trump.
The fact is he won, he won under the rules of the game, and you do you do great damage to the country, uh, and you do great d damage, in fact, to the uh basis on which this republic is organized when you say to people uh that uh your your career is finished if you appear at the Trump inaugural.
Uh it it is totalitarian.
It's about every aspect of life uh not being allowed to depart from the ideological enforcers, not being able to wiggle away from them just for an inch.
Mark Stein in for rush will take your call straight ahead.
Uh Mark Stein in for rush on America's uh number one radio show.
Let's go to Gina in uh Oxford, Michigan.
Gina, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh show.
Hi, Mark Stein.
I'm happy to be able to talk to you.
Hey, happy to talk to you too, Gina.
Hope you had a good Christmas.
Okay, um I I just wanted to call in.
Uh can you hear me?
Yes, I can.
You're you're coming through loud and clear.
Okay.
I just wanted to call in uh tell you my opinion on the people who think they're scaring off uh entertainers to play for Donald Trump's inauguration inauguration.
Oh need to be concerned that they're not slitting their own throats or kicking their own behind, because uh I can already tell you I will not have a Burger Streis Dan CD in my house and Miley Cyrus or a Cher movie or uh Daenero movie.
Um I think they are only hurting their own self.
And I think any entertainer who has been asked to uh entertain at the inauguration should consider that um a real compliment and um as far as John Kerry, I think he's kicking his own behind as well.
Uh and this is why America has stood up and voted for Donald Trump.
We are tired of a bunch of jackasses.
Well, that's your uh you're right.
You're right there, Gina, about now John Kerry kicking his own behind.
You've got to be limber uh than the Radio City Rockettes to do that.
I would certainly pay to see that at uh at an inaugural ball.
Um but uh Gina makes a good point there that if you're asked to participate in a presidential inaugural, it it's a privilege.
It ought to be a state occasion.
It's an it's an occasion for the nation.
It's it's not a party occasion.
He's not the president of the Republican Party, and you should just you should uh accept the honor and uh and go along and do it.
And I don't think I'd Gina when she says she doesn't have any Barbara Streisand records or Miley Cyrus Records or that that or Beyonce Records or Jay-Z records, that could get to be an awful long list by the time you're through, and you'd be throwing out most of your CD collection.
Uh but but the core point is absolutely uh I think is sound, that they are damaging themselves.
One of the one of the great lessons uh of this election is how out of touch the elites are in this country.
And that includes not just it's one thing uh uh for Miley Cyrus to be out of touch, it's quite another uh for some kind of no-name uh feminist columnist at Slate or Salon to be out of touch.
And they were all absolutely staggered by the fact that, for example, uh 53% of I think it's 53% of white women voted for Donald Trump.
They were all convinced.
They'd been peddling all these stories because they'd all talk to each other.
You know, Lena Dunham uh had talked to Cher, and Cher had talked to Whoopi Goldberg, and Whoopi Goldberg had talked to Amy Schumer, and they'd also all agreed that uh women all hated Trump, and so no women were going to vote for Trump, and he couldn't possibly win.
They were surprised on election day because they all they did was talk to themselves, and they all existed in that little bubble.
And all they're doing when they say, oh no, no, no, no.
You can't, you can't appear at the inaugural.
We can't risk uh letting one of our elite uh members of our great show business elite uh risk uh appearing with any member of the party that won the House, the Senate, and the White House.
We can't risk that.
They are damaging themselves.
Yes, there are guest hosts everywhere.
There are guest hosts for the guest hosts, there were guest hosts dripping from the ceiling.
There are there are armies of guest hosts.
No wall on either the northern or southern border can keep the guest hosts from getting through.
Rush will eventually return.
I think it's uh September the third or October 16th.
We'll get we'll try and nail down the date when he will be back, and the season of guest hosts will end.
But if you're sick of it, if you're saying I can't stand another guest host, and it's only the second day of the season of guest hosts.
Uh if you're saying you can't stand it, uh go to rushlinbore.com and become a rush 24-7 subscriber.
It is the perfect gift.
And if you subscribe today, you will get an extra four weeks.
So that's almost like thirteen months of guest host free Rush 24-7 subscriptions for the price of twelve months.
You can get Rush in any known form.
You can get him in audio, uh, you're getting him in text, you can get him in video, you can get the archive, you can get all the great parodies if you're in the mood.
I mentioned the I mentioned just off the top of my head that wonderful John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Brokeback Mountain parody.
And I uh the for the last couple of hours I've had a yen to hear it again.
Well, you can find all the great parodies when you're a rush 24-7 subscriber, you can get it all by just going to Rushlimball.com and subscribe today.
And uh Mr. Snodley asked me to mention my uh TV show.
We don't have a great arch.
We've got a one-show archive, because we did a Christmas show.
But that's good.
We've got a one-show archive, and we're gonna like really concentrate and focus and try and uh bulk it up into a two-show archive in a couple of years' time.
But we got a one-show archive that you can access if you go to CRTV.com.
It was our Christmas show.
And as someone had pointed out, uh, if you take a traditional view of Christmas, uh, we've still got to whatever it is, ten days to go till St. Stephen's Day.
So it is still uh Christmas tide, and there's never been a better time to watch a Christmas show.
So that's at uh CRTV.com.
I was talking.
What actually I don't know, I think that's up to Hunter College uh whether they should prefer fire the professor uh Mr. Snerdley.
Uh well one of the things I'm yeah, you know, one of the things I'm I'm kind of queasy about is the way everybody leaps now to instant boycotts or instant calls for people to be fired.
Um I don't I don't want to be told speaking as someone who's just gone into uh the television business, and I believe I'm now like the third largest employer in the state.
I had no idea you needed so many people to make a television show.
But um I wouldn't want people telling me who I can and cannot hire.
And I don't suppose Hunter College does.
But the difference is that these people exist in a kind of uh quasi-official relationship with the state.
And the other difference is is that it only goes one way.
Uh there was a fellow at a uh Canadian school uh the other day who was just talking generally about uh about uh the law.
And he mentioned abortion, and he happened to say, I'm personally opposed to abortion, but in Canada it's the law that you can have an abortion, and uh the courts have ruled that that's that's your right.
So uh my personal feelings about abortion don't matter.
Uh so he's not even taking a a stand saying that he doesn't want abortion.
He's just saying that he's personally opposed to it.
Some some little snowflake in the room went and complained uh and said she felt she'd been moved into an unsafe space and she'd been triggered by his microaggression or the other garbage stuff that's killing language that the way the generation snowflake talks.
Um and uh and so the guy got fired.
He lost his career.
He lost his career because he said I happen to be post personally opposed to abortion, but the fact is that in Canada it's legal and the law opp uh uh and the law permits it.
So what we have here is kind of one-way tolerance that if you're on the left, you can say anything, you can do anything.
The head of care in California, you know, the Council on American Islamic relations, he's on the executive board, I think, of the California Democrat Party, he's a big Democrat in California, and he sent out a tweet gloating that more Russians hadn't been killed in that air crash on Christmas Day.
Uh i it was a hundred and eighty seat plane and it was only half full, so only ninety-two Russians died in that plane crash on Christmas Day.
So there's only ninety-two grieving Russian families.
And for this guy in California, that's not enough.
He says a hundred he wishes all 180 Russians had had were dead on Christmas Day.
Uh and he can get away with that because he's a Democrat.
There's nothing you can say when you're a Democrat that'll get you fired.
But if you're uh but but if you're on the other side of the line, uh then the minute you say anything, if if you happen to donate a hundred dollars to to uh a uh referendum on gay marriage like the guy at Mozilla did, then you have to lose your job.
He hasn't been employed since, by the way, that guy, that guy at Mozilla has been sitting at home twiddling his thumbs uh in the three years since he lost his job because he gave a hundred uh dollars to a guy, uh a group that supports uh the traditional definition of marriage.
Um the left has been trying was trying to shame uh is it HGTV?
It's some home decor network, home decorating network, is that what it's called?
HGTV?
Yeah, home and garden.
And they've got a couple on there who host a show, and somebody found out that they go to a church, and that church is opposed to gay marriage, which by the way, every church was until twenty minutes ago.
That's a standard thing.
Um and so uh so they they immediately started leaking about this and demanding to know uh what the network was going to do about it, either with a view either to shaming the network into firing this couple for daring to go when they're not on the air, daring to spend an hour on a Sunday morning at a church where they believe in the traditional definition of marriage.
So their object was either to get the guys fired or to force them into making one of these glassy-eyed re-education camp statements saying that they fully welcome gay married couples to view their show or whatever.
In other words, it's all one way.
It's all one way.
And that's what they hate about Trump.
Because everything they did to Trump would have killed any other candidate.
If they'd found a tape like that on John Kasich, if they found a tape like that on Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz or whoever it was, those guys would have been dead.
Uh they would have done it even without a tape like that.
They would have just they would have just denormalized those guys like they did to Mitt Romney, uh, when they were doing all that stuff about how Mitt gives your wife cancer and he straps his dog to the car roof and drives him to Canada just for a giggle.
Uh when they were doing all that stuff, they what they hate about Trump is they did it all to him on a nuclear scale, and Trump just played smash mouth with them uh and uh and shoved it right down their throat.
Right from that thing when Meghan Kelly asked him that question on Fox News about how he'd called women this and that and all the other, and he said, only Rosie O'Donnell.
Right from that point, he just said, I'm playing by Democrat rules.
If the if the rap on me from Conservatives is that I I've been a Democrat most of my life, then like every every bloody Democrat on the planet, I claim the right to say what the hell I like about anybody.
No Democrat ever has to worry about getting fired or losing his job.
Uh so all this all this stuff, this this one way, this one-way enforcement is what's uh is what's got to stop.
You can't you can't have one set of rules uh for one crowd and another for another.
And that's all that Trump did.
Uh that's all he basically did.
He basically said, I'm playing by Democrat rules, I say what I like, and uh and if you don't like it, I'm just gonna nut you into the hair in the head and watch you bleeding on the floor.
And uh when we have uh things like this, a guy up in Canada, he makes one comment about abortion and his life is over, his career is destroyed, uh he'll never work again and you have another fella like this guy at Hunter College, this uh gay guy and his husband uh who berate uh uh Trump's daughter and grandchildren on a plane uh and they pay no price they pay no price uh you can only have a functioning society with an agreed
set of rules for all but if it's our guys can say anything what they want whereas you guys step out of line and you're fired, you're destroyed, you'll never work again, then that can't last.
And if Trump makes no other contribution to American life except to end that he will have done this republic a great, great service for which we should all be grateful.
Because I'm tired I'm tired of that too.
I'm tired of it all I'm tired as I said I'm tired by the you can't say that thing.
It's one reason why the as I said these alleged late night comics are so bloody unfunny.
All they can do is designate a group that it's okay for you to laugh at.
You know, because Steve Martin he's he's getting on a bit now he's getting a bit old and so he made a tweet that kind of maybe sort of if you spent hours analysing it maybe kind of implied that he was thinking the most important thing about a woman is her looks and oh no we can't have that.
So there's all these protected groups you can't make jokes about uh you can't make jokes about uh the most of the members of the Democrat uh coalition all you end up doing is standing there and uh and and um making jokes about old dead white males which is why it isn't these guys aren't funny.
They can't observe the great carnival of life.
One of the things just to go back by the way I don't want to go rehash Broke Back Mountain with I remember it now.
They called it Return to Saddlesaw Canyon.
Do you remember that, Mr Snadley?
Terrific parody uh of Broke Back Mountain I love this with John McCain and Lindsay Grabb.
And the thing about that the lesson for that that that Stephen Colbert and uh Trevor Noah and these other guys ought to bear in mind is you should never be blind to the comedy on your own side and that is something that Rush has always understood.
I I I understood that uh in the impeachment trial Washington like the first day of the impeachment trial I find myself next to Strom Thurmond.
You know, if you can't find Strom Thurmond funny when he confuses uh Operation Desert Storm uh with uh whatever whatever it was the American Spanish Spanish American war if you can't if you can't find that funny if you can't see the comedy in your own side uh then you can't actually observe the world which is the essence of comedy so if there's if you say right away oh there's nothing funny about Barack Obama there's nothing funny about Hillary Clinton
there's nothing if you the minute you do that you're not in the business anymore.
And that's what that return to Saddlesaw Canyon with John McCain and Lindsey Graham does.
Russia's always been great about that seeing the comedy in your own side.
Mark Stein in Odd America's number one radio show we'll take your calls in just a moment.
Mark Stein for Rush we have breaking news the Obama administration is preparing to announce retaliatory measures against Russia for meddling in the US election including expanded sanctions and diplomatic uh measures.
The US officials also say the federal government plans some unannounced actions taken through covert means I don't really think it's covert if you if you hold a press conference about it, is it?
But anyway, just a heads up to any of you Ruskies tuning in the United States government is planning to take some covert action against you you might want to keep an eye out for that.
By meddling in the election of course they mean that the Russians revealed all this all these Democrat emails about what the Democrats really think about you losers out there that they didn't they did what you're fighting about about and also they revealed going back to what we were saying about the media bubble they also revealed the collusion With all these media big shots,
none of whom has paid a uh has paid any kind of price uh at their perfectly respectable mainstream media organizations uh for their collusion with the Hillary Clinton campaign uh throughout the election.
So let's let's be clear here when they're talking about retaliatory measures about Russian meddling in the U.S. election.
They're actually retaliation measures against Russia for meddling in the uh media meddling with the US election.
That's actually what what happened uh.
That's actually what happened there.
By the way, did Netanyahu ever announce uh sanctions against the United States for Obama's meddling in the Israeli election?
I don't I don't remember that.
Maybe uh somebody from the Israeli Prime Minister's office could get back to me on that kind of uh on that thing.
The Israeli Prime Minister, by the way, has just issued a statement uh uh mocking John Kerry's obsession over the issue of settlements, uh, and saying that he hardly touched on the root of the conflict, which is Palestinian resistance to a Jewish state within any borders.
Uh he's absolutely uh right to say that the Prime Minister's office is in Israel.
And and America should not be sharing the global obsession.
Uh the UN has passed in 2016, this year alone, over a dozen resolutions against Israel and four on the rest of the world.
Four in the rest, in other words, the rest of the world, nothing's going on there.
You'd never know anything was uh happening in uh in Syria or Iraq or Sudan or Yemen or Libya or North Korea or anywhere.
The only problem in the world is Israel.
If if the UN could just get rid of Israel, then the world would live in peace.
And one of the things that I hope uh Donald Trump is serious about is actually uh ending the idea of the UN as a useful expression uh of America's national and foreign policy of interests.
It was after the Second World War, but it now includes 200 members, and the fact of the matter is that the basket case states have the run of the place, including the 58-member organization for Islamic cooperation.
They vote as a block at the UN.
Uh and if Trump does uh does nothing but actually say uh the U the UN is an outmoded 1940s problem, uh 1940s solution to 1930s problems, and we're not going to play in that particular sandbox anymore.
That would be a great thing.
Mark Stein for Russia, we'll close it out in just a moment.
Mark Stein in Farush Limbaugh on America's number one uh radio network.
Uh President Obama uh yesterday told his friend David Axelrod on David Axelrod's CNN show uh that he used to be, quote, wildly pretentious.
He used to be wildly pretentious, uh, but apparently he's he's all over that now.
It's it's cleared up, so you don't have to worry about that uh anymore.
Uh as I said, the uh Obama on his way out the door has announced uh sanctions against Russia for hacking so-called into the DNC and releasing and releasing their emails.
Uh that's that's not hacking.
That's not the definition of hacking.
That is the definition of politics.
You release material damaging to the side you don't want to win.
Uh anyway, we can talk about that tomorrow, because I'm going to be here tomorrow.
Uh and don't forget on Friday, Vladimir Putin will be guest hosting.
