Time Text
Yes, it is the season of guest hosts.
There are guest hosts everywhere.
There are there are guest hosts across the land.
You cannot find a non-guest host.
I am honored, honored to be to be with you today.
Buck Sexton is going to be here tomorrow.
Rush returns live.
I think it's March 16th, April, April 27th, July 19th.
We're going to try and pin it down and get a firm date on when Rush will be back.
But the guest hosts are a ponis.
There are there are as many guest hosts across the fruited plain as there are acres of land owned by the federal government of the United States.
Now, I was talking about, in the previous hour, these initiatives...
This one man legislating, these royal decrees that King Barack is making from Barackingham Palace in his last days before the new guy comes in.
Apparently that's all perfectly legit.
You're allowed to change America's foreign policy in the so-called lame duck period in the transition period.
You're allowed to uh have a big federal land grab of millions of acres in the transition period.
What you're not allowed to do, that's fine for the outgoing government to make major shifts in foreign policy, domestic policy, uh by one man and his pen, that's all fine in the transition period.
What is completely unacceptable in the transition period, according to Labor Secretary Tom Perez, is to uh ask questions of federal bureaucrats.
Labor Secretary Tom Perez has called presidential transition questions sent to government agencies like the energy department seeking to identify employees who worked on climate change as against the law.
Those questions have no place in a transition, Perez said.
That is illegal.
Last week, President elect Trump's transition team sent the State Department a mem a memo requesting information on its gender-related staffing programming and funding.
Uh and and Tom Perez says that's illegal.
It's apparently not illegal when the federal government asks the same questions, ask questions about gender-related matters of some rinky-dink little grade school in Maine or Idaho.
But apparently, if you ask these questions of federal bureaucrats, according to Labour Secretary Tom Perez, it's illegal.
Will dedicated career people be targeted because they were doing the right work, Perez said.
And that's an interesting phrase.
They're doing the right work, these career bureaucrats.
What he means by that is the way it works in this country and in most other Western countries is that governments come and go here today, gone tomorrow.
You got a secretary of this, a secretary of that, they come, they go.
The permanent bureaucracy and the left wing ratchet effect remains and does not alter no matter who's in power.
And as I said, I think in my book After America, you don't need a president for life if you've got a bureaucracy for life.
And at the Department of Education, uh the the education unions, which have turned American education into one of the most pitiful embarrassments for any developed nation anywhere, and most expensive, know that they have a bureaucracy for life in the Federal Bureau, in the Federal Department of Education.
Uh the environmentalists know they have a federal bureaucracy for life in the Department of Energy.
The Department of Energy was set up in the nineteen seventies by Jimmy Carter because a bunch of stupid people believed we were running out of fossil fuels.
There's more oil every anywhere.
There's oil everywhere now.
And uh and so the entire purpose of a Federal Department of Energy uh is obsolete in nineteen seventies terms.
So the purpose for which it was created uh no longer exists, but nevertheless, it's still there.
And the and the and the pick that Trump made uh for the environmental protection agency, where he's picked a guy to head the environmental protection agency who's best known for suing the environmental protection agency multiple times, is brilliant.
Uh is brilliant.
But it only works if that guy is able to get control of that agency.
These th these things are killing, these things are killing America.
Literally killing the country, draining the life out of the country.
Uh and I use that phrase deliberately.
If if it rains, you can't drain your field because it's suddenly a wetlands.
Uh so okay, let's not bother draining the field.
Let's instead drain, as Trump says, drain the swamp of these federal bureaucracies.
And I would love to see him actually begin the process of eliminating some of these departments, reducing the the number of cabinet positions, eliminating federal bureaucracies, which uh Republicans have been committed to abolishing the Department of Energy and Department of Education ever since they were created, and have done nothing about it.
And I would like very much for Trump actually to impose his will.
Because when Tom Perez says will dedicated career people be targeted because they were doing the right work.
What he means by that is elections don't matter.
Because there's no the the these bureaucrats, career bureaucrats, quote, doing the right work, unquote, by which they mean inventing uh new bureaucratic regulations that have been passed by no legislature anyway, anywhere,
and then and then uh dragging you and fining you uh uh for uh uh f for being i in violation of these regulations without due process, uh without uh without it being approved by a court anywhere or being found guilty by twelve good men and true anywhere.
What he means is that this permanent bureaucracy should be allowed to render elections irrelevant to render the will of the people irrelevant.
So I hope I hope Trump sticks it to Tom Perez, and people who say that you should not be uh a government of the people, by the people, for the people, should not, in effect, be governed in perpetuity by a bureaucracy that is none of those things.
Uh this remark by Tom Perez on CBS News is extremely revealing.
From our friends in the French Republic, France is introducing a terror tax to support the victims of terrorism.
French citizens will contribute an extra dollar sixty-seven on their property insurance policies to help finance a fund for victims of terrorism attacks that have recently hit the country.
As you know, eighty-six people died in Nice, killed by a truck on France's national holiday, Bastille over the summer.
Uh they had the uh the the priest uh who was decapitated during mass.
Uh I went to uh near Rouen, I went to uh that guy's uh funeral in Rouen Cathedral.
It was uh very moving, but also illustrative of the passivity of uh the French state.
The Prime Minister Manuel Vals has basically said that the French government's position on terrorism is that you should get used to it.
And it's not just that you have to get used to it, but that you have to have tax increases now to pay for terrorism, to pay for terrorism.
This is the same French government that was deliriously ecstatic by the passage of that UN resolution on Israeli settlements.
They thought it was a great landmark, this first great vote on the iniquity and evil of Israeli settlements since 1980, the one that uh Barack Obama and John Kerry enabled to happen.
And that's true.
If it hadn't been for uh America's abstention, that UN resolution would not have passed, because America is one of the five big five at the UN, and if they veto something, it can't be passed.
So all you need is America, Britain, France, Russia, China, to veto something, and it can't happen.
But what is and and America uh should that that vote was that abstention was a disgraceful act uh by the Obama administration, but it should not let off the hook the other fourteen members of the Security Council who actively voted to support it and then went cheerleading for it, and none more so than the French government.
And when you actually try to unpack what's I mentioned earlier that we all know the reason why uh there is no two state solution in Palestine, it's because where wherever you go in the Palestinian territories, and I'm talking here about the sane part.
I'm not talking about the Gaza Strip which is all hammered all the time now.
I'm talking about the supposed uh civilized part where it's all the guys that you see on CNN like spokesman Sayaberkat and all these fellas.
Uh it's Mahmoud Abbas who's now in whatever it is the twelfth year of his five year term of office.
I don't know how that works, but he's the big democrat and we should all support him.
When you when you look at the Palestinian territories, if you ever go anywhere uh where there's I mentioned Slovakia earlier.
If you if you were in Czechoslovakia in the early nineties it was pretty obvious that Slovakia did not want to be part of Czechoslovakia and they wanted to put in place the systems by which they could run their own country.
I was in Slovenia uh at the end of its time as a Yugoslav province and it was perfectly obvious there that the Slovenes wanted to run their own country.
I'm just going through the nations that all the new nations that almost rhyme Slovenia Slovakia I don't think Slavonia's a country yet but it'll be one any minute.
But you know that any the Irish free state uh in the early 1920s uh they had had certain things imposed on them by Britain that chafed but you began to under you could see as you were going around they wanted to run post offices they wanted to run schools they wanted to build a country there's no evidence of that whenever you go anywhere in the Palestinian territories what they want to do is kill Jews.
Uh that's their priority.
Machmoud Abbas said the other day when we get a two state solution there will not be a single Israeli living on Palestinian land.
There are there are any number of Palestinians living in Israel.
It's actually easier uh for a Palestinian so-called to become an Israeli citizen than it is to become a Saudi citizen uh or an Egyptian citizen or a Jordanian citizen because nobody wants them.
Those Arab countries won't take them.
The United Arab Emirates won't take them.
But nevertheless, for some reason, the rest of the Western world and the Obama administration is united in regarding the Israelis at fault here.
And it's fascinating to me when you then tie it to these stories about terrorism in Europe.
When you look at France introducing a terrorist, they can't do anything about terrorism.
They can't stop terrorism.
All they can do is introduce a new tax so.
they can pay for the victims of terrorism and what is going on in Europe is exactly the same as what is going on in Israel.
The Western world is trading land for peace and if you look at some of these fast Islamifying parts uh of of the West if you look at the Parisian suburbs including the suburb where uh Charles Martel, the hammer who held back the Islamic advance at the Battle of Poitiers in the eighth century, uh the church in which he is buried is surrounded now by a Muslim ghetto.
If you look at the Muslim ghettos in Malmo, Sweden, if you look at the Muslim ghettos in Germany, the Europeans don't know it yet, but they're trading land for peace just like the Israelis are and they face the same situation because as the old line has it first they come for the Saturday people, the Jews, and then they come for the Sunday people, the Christians.
And if you think it's good to support resolutions that enable Mahmoud Abbas to pledge a Jew-free Palestinian state, you better get used to trading your own land in Sweden, in France, in Germany, in Belgium, the Netherlands because these w when you say that it's unreasonable to expect Jews to live side by side with Muslims in these so-called Palestinian territories,
Muslims take the same view of living side by side uh with Christians uh in Germany, Sweden, France, the Netherlands, Belgium.
These uh the Europe is basically uh you the the Europeans don't realize it, but on the continent that's coming, they're gonna be the new Jews.
Uh Mark Stein in for us will take your call straight ahead.
Mark Stein for us behind the golden EIB microphone, let's go to Victoria in Kingford, Michigan.
Victoria, you're live on America's number one radio show.
Great to have you with us.
Hi.
Um Well, hi, Mark.
Hi, Victoria.
And the initial reason why I wanted to call was um for one to thank Rush, and I guess I would like to thank you too, just as a contributor to this show.
Um I am a liberal and my dad is a conservative, and we used to have a really hard time getting along.
And um as I've been listening to this show more, I think it's made me um a lot more able to understand where my dad is coming from.
Um as far as you know, we're as human beings um we're really when someone disagrees with us, we're really quick to apply our understanding of the world to their conclusions.
So um I m I have to understand that my dad looks at the world differently.
So his conclusions are based on the way that he looks at the world.
You know, so of course, if he saw things the same way that I did, he would be wrong in his conclusions, but he sees things differently.
And um this show has helped me understand more the way that my dad sees things.
Um another thing that I really wanted to say was that when Trump first got elected, I was terrified.
Um I felt like it was gonna be like the apocalypse, and I was just absolutely devastated.
And since he's gotten elected, and the things that he's been saying have made me really, really hopeful that he's going to be the type of leader that brings our country together because he's just the language that he uses to describe Democrats and people that um his former language towards uh like Obama and Hillary Clinton and other Democrats and
stuff was really vitriolic and um, you know, uh just basically all Democrats.
But now that he's won, he's uh been really conciliatory and he just seems like he wants to do what's best for everyone.
Well, he has to be.
He's he has to be.
That's the difference between November the seventh and November the ninth, Victoria, in that on November the seventh, he was the candidate of one political party.
Uh 48 hours later, he was the incoming president of everybody in this country.
And so he he governs for you as he governs for me, as he governs for 300 million other people.
Uh and and uh Victoria, I'll just say something.
Uh I take you at your word when you say that you were genuinely scared.
But that is not a healthy reaction.
Um y you have no reason to be scared.
And some way, somewhere deep down you know that.
He's he's the nominee of a longstanding party in a stable two-party uh nation of representative government.
Uh people who are really scared of their leaders, you know, we heard all this during the Bush era.
Bush scares me, Bush scares me.
People drove around with bumper stickers saying Bush scares me.
Uh nobody, nobody in Germany drove around uh with a bumper sticker saying Hitler scares me.
Nobody in Russia drove around with a bumper sticker saying Stalin scares me.
Nobody in North Korea drives around with a bumper sticker saying Kim Jong-un scares me.
Uh, that's because Kim Jong un has the car, by the way, so they can't get a bumper.
It's like a three-year waiting list for a bumper sticker.
But we know that everybody somewhere, when we use when we devalue the meaning of words like that, we're actually insulting uh a uh uh the democracy and the republic, uh, because we're putting ourselves in in emotionally overwrought territory that is unbecoming to free-born citizens.
Uh, but I am glad, Victoria, that you and your father get on better, because that's actually one of the purposes of conservatism.
One reason why conservatives uh believe in small government is because they want to allow enough space in life for everything else.
When you politicize everything, uh the way the left wants to, so that you politicize even Steve Martin's tweets about Carrie Fisher, you suck up all the space with politics.
Politics squash and crushes everything else.
And conservatives believe in small government to leave space for all the good things that make life worth living.
Yeah, the guest hosa dropping off the trees right in to the chair in front of the microphone.
Guest hosts everywhere.
You need never have to worry about sinister foreign guest hosts ever again if you go to Rushlimbaugh.com and you take out a subscription to the limbaughter.
It's the non fake news limbaugh letter.
It's the least faky faky fake news letter in the United States and across the planet.
And if you subscribe uh for it today, if you go to Rush Limbaugh.com, you'll receive a special bonus.
Uh it's not just Russia's thoughts, they're worth the cost of admission alone.
But Rush also interviews all kinds of other figures uh to get their take on the big questions uh affecting the world today.
He's been kind enough to interview me in there a couple of times, got a lot of other uh worthwhile interviews too.
Uh a few weeks back, he actually interviewed himself, and that was one of the most uh fascinating interviews that has been conducted.
But if you just go to Rush uh limbo.com and you'll see the uh little limbaugh letter banner there, and you click on that, there's never been a better time to subscribe.
You will uh assure yourself amidst the deluge of fake news in which you are drowning, that there will be a uh little piece of flotsum and jetson to cling to that is pure non fake news all year round.
All you have to do is go to Rushlimbaugh.com.
I mentioned this thing about Tom Perez, who said that it's illegal uh for the incoming Trump administration to ask all these questions about what uh the federal bureaucrats have actually been working on.
I mean, which is basic.
If you're young if you if you buy if you take over a business, which is how Trump's looking at this, he's basically staged a hostile takeover of the federal government.
And he's moving into this business, and he sees they've got this huge bloated payroll of employees, and he'd like to know what all of them do.
Uh, because he's he wants to start streamlining things.
He'd like to know which which people are putting in a full week's work and which people uh and which people aren't.
And Perez says, will dedicated career people be targeted because they were doing the right work?
And as I said, what he means by the right work is that the permanent bureaucracy should be allowed to pursue its ideological objectives regardless of the people's will, regardless of the election result.
And that is absolutely corrupted the integrity of government, not only in the United States, uh, but across the rest of the Western world too.
The permanent bureaucracy, uh uh a Canadian cabinet minister told me uh a couple of years ago when I was complaining as one does about why a so-called conservative government hasn't done this, hasn't done that.
And he can and he made the point that he's in nominally in charge of these various uh federal bureaucracies and agencies, and that it's actually very hard finding any conservative people to put in to run these things.
The most of the people who want to work in these bureaucracies are by definition uh to the left.
And what uh and and I will add one other reason why I do not want to be ruled by bureaucrats.
Not only because these are not laws passed in any legislature.
You can't go to a polling booth and vote these people out.
They never have to actually run on their platforms.
It can all be done in the dead of night, uh, like many of these regulations are, but also because they're corrupt.
Uh and that's true at all levels of government.
There is a story out of California that I think deserves actually more publicity than it it's got, because every time I get a new detail on this, it gets worse.
A guy called Joseph Schwab, 36 years old, was pulled over on August the 5th, 2015.
So that's a year and a half ago by an agent.
And by the way, don't you like the way bureaucrats like to call themselves agents?
Like they're James Bond, right?
Except James Bond is 007 because there's a very small number of them.
Whereas there are millions of these kinds of agents.
By a California department of alcoholic beverage control agent in an unmarked car.
See, they really are James Bond.
They get to drive around in unmarked cars.
I tell you what, I I was pulled over by an unmarked car uh a couple of years ago in Montpellier, Vermont.
And I said, I said to the uh lady police officer in her unmarked car, have you have you got a dash cam in there?
Because I'd like to see what it says shows on the dash cam.
And she says, No, there's no dash cam.
Uh we have unmarked cars with no dash cams.
Uh I don't even get how that works.
If you're going to pretend to be James Bond and you've got the big super spy car, you could at least have the super spy camera fitted in the super spy car.
So anyway, this California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control agent in the unmarked car with no dash cam pulls over 36-year-old Joseph Schwab because he'd uh supposedly committed a crime.
Um who had he committed a crime against?
Some other citizen of California, she'd happen to witness?
No, he pulled it in front of her and she claimed he'd cut her off.
So the crime he committed was uh was demonstrating less measure stay towards the alcoholic beverage control agent.
And she administered a breathalyzer test.
So she she's accused him of being under the influence of alcohol.
She administers a breathalyzer test which displayed a 0.00% blood alcohol level.
That's 0.00% blood alcohol level.
Uh and at that point, that should have been the end of it.
It was way past the end of it, actually, because she had no reason to pull him over or to administer the test.
But she uh she administered the test and it showed a 0.00% blood alcohol level.
But nevertheless, she thought that if you went to uh three digits after the decimal point, it might show 0.001% blood alcohol level.
So she arrested him, tossed the guy in the county jail, and had his blood taken for an additional toxicology test, which concluded that the guy had no illegal drugs in his system.
So he's now had two tests, two tests showing no alcohol in the system.
At that point, they send samples to some outside testing facility in Pennsylvania.
And by the way, if you're a Californian and you're wondering why the Golden State is screwed, that's because they're now so determined to nail this guy, this alcoholic beverage control agent, agent in the super secret spy car, so determined to nail this guy who's aced two toxicology tests that she sends them across the country to Pennsylvania to an outside testing facility in which uh something shows up.
Is it alcohol?
Because after all, this is an alcoholic beverage beverage control agency.
No, it's caffeine.
Caffeine, uh last time I checked, wasn't an alcohol.
I have no idea why it comes under the jurisdiction of the alcoholic beverage control agency.
But caffeine showed up.
That's to say coffee.
That's to say the guy had been to uh Starbucks and he'd got a double espresso or whatever.
But caffeine showed up in his system.
No charges were filed.
In part because there was no crime.
He had no alcohol in his system.
He was falsely arrested and falsely detained.
And this agent shouldn't have this agent, super secret agent in the super secret spy car, driving around looking to nail people who've stopped for a uh hazelnut macchiato in Starbucks on the way home.
Uh this this uh this agent actually should be out of a job.
Uh no charges uh were actually filed because no crime had been committed.
Ten months later, they charge him with Having caffeine in his system on the grounds that uh caffeine is uh qualifies as a drug because it's any substance that might impair to an appreciable degree a driver's capability behind the wheel.
Uh this they how they are going to demonstrate this, I have no idea.
Because most people, if you're driving home late at night, uh in this uh part of the world, for example, the interstates in Vermont offer free coffee because it improves your driving.
Uh so the state of Vermont takes the position uh that it's so important for you to be alert on the road at night that they provide at their rest areas free cups of coffee so that you can put caffeine in your system to improve your driving.
But the state of California, being bonkers and insane, has now decided that they're so determined to nail this guy, they're going to introduce the novel legal theory that caffeine impairs your ability to drive.
All because this guy demonstrated less major stay towards an agent, a secret agent driving around in her secret super spy car from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
As I say, what polling station do you go to to vote out an alcoholic beverage beverage control agents?
They're beyond the control of the voter.
They're beyond exposure to the will of the voters.
And what this what this woman did is what all bureaucracies do.
Whatever they were intended to combat, they eventually metastasize and uh insert their tentacles into all kinds of other areas.
So we have a situation where in the United States, a man can be stopped, uh forced to take a breathalyzer test, ace the breathalyzer test, be arrested, forced to take another test,
ace that test, uh then have it shipped uh across the country, and when they find caffeine in it, ten months later, that guy can be plunged into a legal nightmare by a sick, vengeful and evil state bureaucracy.
As I always say on these occasions, George the Third wouldn't have done that to you.
George the Third allowed you to have a cup of coffee pre in pre-revolutionary times.
Now the state of California wants to make having a cup of coffee before you drive late at night uh a potentially arrestable offense.
What what what next is it gonna be?
What's what's gonna be what's gonna be the next thing?
Uh having a cup of mountain dew?
Hasn't that got caffeine in it?
That can get you all hopped up.
Uh uh, what uh what about what about having a donor?
Oh no, no, donuts they probably I don't know how it is at the alcoholic beverage control, but they probably won't go.
What what is it gonna be next?
What is it gonna be next?
All bureaucracies eventually expand and enlarge, metastasize like cancer until they insert themselves into areas of life that are nothing to do with them.
This dis this case is a disgrace.
Uh and that's what happens when, as Tom Perez says, you just allow career bureaucrats to carry on doing the right work.
You will you there is no end to what a well-remunerated bureaucracy considers the right work.
Mark Stein for Rush will take your call straight ahead.
Mark Stein uh for Rush, we have uh Friday and Mr. Snerdley keeping an eye on things from down in New York, and we are here at uh Ice Station EIB's new backup facility.
If you're uh fleeing the country, do swing by if you're Cher or Lena Dunham or Amy Schumer uh and you're fleeing the country, uh, do swing by and say hello.
You can't come, Mrs. Big Sign on the Highway saying last rush guest host before the border.
Speaking of the border, let us plunge across the northern wall and speak to Peter.
And uh Peter, Peter is calling from uh uh the the call screener has just put uh Ontario Canada It would be Mr. Stein complete honor.
I've heard you off and on for many years, and and again it's an honor, but I'll get right to it.
Oh, we're not Peter Peter, first thing, which which which part of Ontario are you calling from?
Whit Whitby.
Oh, would be oh yeah.
I had a great editor at McLean's uh who came uh from Whitby.
Uh oh, yes, I think it's beautiful here.
Of course, we're up against the captain trade in about four days, four cents on a liter.
Incredible.
I won't even get into that.
That steams me even more.
But down south, I spent uh many years in the city of Philadelphia living down there and and always felt uh very very close to uh constitutional hall and always had a great sense of patriotism for the greatest country in the world.
Now, Mr. That's good of you.
We know at this point that these people, if not stopped, are always, always they they don't mind lying to get to get what they want.
They'll do anything they want.
Like Rush said, you know, uh we have to expose progressive liberalism and the sickness of liberalism.
So what I want to ask you, you know, now we finally have the daily press briefing, the bully pulpit, all these things we have now that on a national level that it won't be just people that are turning into Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity or whatever, or Fox News.
And there's stuff that we need to do right away.
Not, for instance, the day on this trip takes over, I think, And I want to hear your you what you think of this, to go to a real unemployment rate.
Nine point nine.
So 94 million on uh you know, after worker participation rate, maybe 30 million of those are all people that are on retirement, whatever.
And we come up with a brand new, of course it'll be nine percent or twelve percent, and then it may not look good at the end of his four-year term, because Obama could say I was at 4.9, and now Mr. Trump, he's only at six point eight, but it'll be the truth.
We do that from the very beginning.
I think that this will be such a pivotal turn in American history that it will spread like wildfire even up to here, and and a little trudeau will be gone, and we'll have a great, great, you know?
Yeah, Trump Trump fever spreading uh uh across the Western hemisphere.
That that uh that is something uh Peter.
I think you're I think listen, I think you're I think you're right that and this gets back to Tom Perez's point about the bureaucracy.
When basically you have a politicized bureaucracy so that even something as you say like the employment rate is fake and everybody knows it's fake because they all know millions and millions of people have actually stopped looking for jobs, then actually restoring the integrity of institutions is uh critically important.
I mentioned the corruption in this alcoholic beverage control agent in uh California.
Uh but the there's more important agencies.
The IRS was corrupted in the Obama years to target uh the president's political enemies.
Uh the Justice Department was corrupted under two successive attorneys general.
Uh I hope one thing Jeff Sessions does is actually restore the integrity of the Justice Department.
Those are those are actually important things.
Uh the the the the the bureaucracy shouldn't actually be the paramilitary wing uh of the of the ruling party.
It should serve all the people in the state equally dispassionately.
And if Trump were to demand that, and if Jess Sessions were to demand that at justice, and we were to see that all the way through, that would actually be a huge great cleanup of what has become an ever sleazy and corrupt federal government uh in recent years.
That would be actually very important to do, and it would make a huge difference.
Thanks for your call, Peter.
I love uh it whenever I'm on the 401 and passing through Whitby, Ontario.
He lives in a nice part of the world.
Uh we'll take more of your calls straight ahead on the Russian Bullshow.
Mark Stein in uh Farush, uh interesting to see that California is now prosecuting people for having caffeine in their systems.
When I when I was uh in Orange County a couple of years ago, uh they were planning to introduce a law making it illegal to have non-fitted sheets.
Uh you know these things with the elasticated sheets, you could tuck them under the bed, and they were gonna make it illegal to have a non-elasticated sheet.
Uh and so you were gonna have California sheet police uh that would be actually uh kicking the uh kicking the door down to see whether you're uh got a non-fitted sheet in there.
California, as we know, in Mexico, if you ask any uh illegal immigrants in California, they will say that California is a byword for sheet government.
They really will.
Uh And so we have a government that on the one hand says that uh in the famous words of Pierre Trudeau in Canada, the state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation, and then California comes along and says, Oh, yes, it does, if whatever you're doing, you're doing on a non-elasticated sheet.
It's always more, more, more, more, more.
Uh until to go back to the point I made to Victoria, it consumes all the space in life.
