Yes, guest hosts, guest hosts everywhere at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
There are more guest hosts at EIB than Russian cyber hackers at the DNC.
We are wall-to-wall with guest hosts, so much so that we even have guest hosts, guest hosting for the pre-scheduled guest host.
I think, am I meant to, in fact, am I meant to be here or was Buck Sexton meant to be here today?
Buck is going to be in tomorrow.
I think I'm guest hosting for Buck today, and then Buck Sexton comes in and guest hosts for me tomorrow.
I think that's how we decided to do it.
We could flip for it.
And then Rush comes in, and neither of us can do Monday.
Neither Buck.
Buck said, no, I can't.
I'm washing my hair.
And I said, I've got to take the cat to the vet.
And so Rush is actually going to be guest hosting for Buck and me on Monday's show.
That's the good news.
Authentic, full-strength, all-American excellence in broadcasting with the man himself returns on Monday.
On Friday, I've got a grueling day.
I've got, because I'm doing this show on the radio for three hours, and then I'm doing my little new television show, which I didn't realize.
I thought, you know, we could get a guest host in to do that, but it's my new little television show.
And if you go to marksteinshow.com, marksteinshow.com, you can find out all about my new television venture.
But you'll be able to see that in living color on Friday.
So it's far more brutally exposing than the Ditto Cam is.
If you've always wanted to see my pause in close-up, then get the old, you'll be able to do it Friday after the radio show.
I don't think I can do radio and TV simultaneously.
I'm not sure I'm up to that.
But if you'd like to know more, you can go to marksteinshow.com.
1-800-282-2882 is the number to call.
And as I said, I do love to hear.
It's my New Year's resolution.
I want to take more calls from those of you who tilt leftward.
If you'd like to do that tilty-headed thing that the social justice warriors do when they're protesting about how they're sad because Hillary didn't win, if you want to do the tilty-headed thing, I'll take your tilty-headed calls because tilty-headedness is great on the radio.
If you're a Hillary donor and you want to explain what a great bang for the buck you got from chipping in for the fireworks at her victory party, if you are a Bernie supporter and you want to talk about how things would have gone differently if only Bernie had won the nomination,
if you are a transitioning snowflake and you want to take 10 minutes off in mid-transition and give me a call to lay out the way of the world is and how the dead white men are headed for the garbage can of history, and you are part of the Democrats' new triumphant coalition of the ascendant, as they call it.
This was the Democrats' theory, the coalition of the ascendants, where you take all those populations who are on their way up and together they out-punch you loser, dead white male types who are on the way out.
Posterity's jest is on you because the Democrats' coalition of the ascendant is going to wipe you out because they got all the up-and-coming ones.
They got the gays and they've got the Muslims.
And so you put that all together and in critical swing counties in Ohio, you'll have the nice she-shi gay couple at 23 Elm Street living next door to the big bearded Imam and his four child brides at 25 Elm Street and the Imam and his child brides and the nice sheishi gay couple will all outpunch you loser, straight dead white male guys who are going nowhere.
And didn't work out that way, but they're convinced they just have to bide their time and it will all fall their way.
One of the most interesting statistics to emerge is that the US population had the lowest rate of growth since the Great Depression.
This was released, I think it was the day before Christmas.
The U.S. Census Bureau disclosed that America's population grew a subdued 0.7%, as Bloomberg puts it, the lowest rate of growth since the Great Depression years of 1936 and 1937.
And in realistic terms, it's lower than that because, as you know, 1936, 1937 was 10 years into the great immigration pause from the mid-1920s to the mid-1960s, when they basically put a pause on American immigration to basically try and assimilate anyone who had come through in the great Ellis Island surge of the late 19th,
early 20th century, when the Tsar of Russia basically sent a huge, great proportion of his serfs out of the country and scuttling west.
So realistically, we now have the lowest rate of population growth ever recorded in the United States.
And that's interesting to me because it's actually what's happening in Europe.
And in Europe, where people, cultures that are traditionally thought of as fecaned, they've gone from big Catholic families in the Catholic Mediterranean in Spain, in Italy, and Greece.
You've all seen films like my Big Fat Greek Wedding, where the uptight waspy Protestant marries into a Greek family and they're all groaning with brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews and cousins.
There's tons, tons.
They're big, they're fecan, they're fertile, like the Italians, you know, the big Italian mama spooning out the pasta sauce and passing the plates down for all the cousins and siblings.
There's a statistic, I think, that by the year 2060 on current trends, the average Italian child will have no siblings.
I mean, they are really heading down toward deathbed demography, basically 1.2 children, 1.3 children per couple.
That's true in Germany, too, where 40% of German female graduates have no children whatsoever.
I think the European average is basically 1.3 for a European native.
And the average for Muslims in Europe is 3.5 children.
So 1.3 children for German women and 3.5 children for German Muslim women.
Well, you do that for a couple of generations.
And basically, the tiny minority and the overwhelming majority have caught up.
That's what happened in Europe, where basically Europe imported Muslims to be the children that they couldn't be bothered having themselves.
And people wouldn't have noticed that for the moment.
I wrote a book on it 10 years ago, and people said it was alarmist.
It's called America Alone, the End of the World, as we know.
And it's still out there, it's still in print, and it wasn't alarmist.
If anything, it underestimated, for example, Ankla Merkel deciding to fast-track the process by importing 1.5 so-called refugees in one fell swoop.
But basically, this statistic from the United States census saying that we're now at the lowest rate of population growth since 1936, 1937.
In other words, the Great Depression.
It has a very droll headline on it, this piece at bloomberg.com.
It's called Make America Mate Again.
Make America Mate Again.
And that's funny because it also undergirds a big truth about this, that you can't use mass immigration as a way of propping up your birth rates.
People say, well, why do we need birth rates?
Japan, for example, they have negative population growth, like Germany, like a lot of countries.
Russia has negative population growth.
People basically just stop breeding.
The reason it doesn't matter if it's, say, the Yukon during the gold rush and your population starts declining because it becomes harder and harder to find gold.
And eventually the last Hoochikucha says to hell with this, and she and the last prospector hop on the last dog sled out of there.
And you don't have to worry about population growth in the Yukon because you don't have a welfare state.
But the minute you have a welfare state in a society where people expect to spend the final third of their life as a kind of retirement, as government workers do, they expect to be able to retire at 60, 55, 43, or whatever it is in France.
The minute you have people who expect to spend the last third of their life in retirement, you need a continuous growing population to pay for the welfare checks for all those people.
And so if you don't have a growing population, you have a basic arithmetic problem.
And the best way to have that growing population is to have it naturally, is to have people having two, three or four kids.
And you can do it.
And if you don't have that, and you attempt to do it through mass immigration, mass unskilled immigration, then you wind up with the problem that Europe has right now, Germany has right now, Sweden has right now, Italy has right now, France has right now, Belgium has right now.
where they are basically transforming the nature of their society in ways that will ensure that present middle-day, middle-aged Germans, French, Belgians, Italians, Swedes, Danes will end their lives in a wholly transformed society.
You can only do that by setting in motion societal trends that you can no longer control.
And that's what the Americans are not at the same stage as the Germans, the Italians, the French, the Belgians.
But we are basically just a few years behind from the same process.
And it is interesting to me, it is interesting to me, as I mentioned at the top of the show, that when people were discussing the priorities of the incoming administration and the undivided government, Republican White House, Republican Senate,
Republican House, when Vice President Pence and the House leadership had their press conference today, it was jobs talk, it was Obamacare talk, but it was immigration that jump-started the Trump phenomenon.
And right to the end, it was the wall that got the biggest cheers at Trump rallies.
And the question is whether President Trump is going to follow through and fulfill his promise to restore the integrity of a nation's borders.
Because there is no such thing as a nation without borders.
A nation without borders is just a piece of swamp inhabited by competing tribes in which different interest groups jockey for position.
But without the integrity of borders, you do not have critical elements such as civic identity.
And I was, in that sense, interested in this story from Reuters, which says, in a wide-ranging request for documents and analysis, President-elect Donald Trump's transition team asked the Department of Homeland Security last month to assess all assets available for border wall and barrier construction.
The team also asked about the department's capacity for expanding immigrant detention and about an aerial surveillance program that was scaled back by the Obama administration, but remains popular with immigration hardliners.
And it asked whether federal workers have altered biographic information kept by the department about immigrants out of concern for their civil liberties.
By the way, when this is a Reuters report, so they say immigrants.
What they mean is illegal immigrants.
What they mean is people who broke into the country.
And what Trump is wanting to know is whether the actual official government records are being faked in order to comply with political correctness and pretend that these people are not lawbreakers.
They're not illegal aliens who've broken into the country, but they're, quote, dreamers, unquote.
Trump, it's his signature issue.
And if he abandons his signature issue, he'd be finished with his base, which is one reason why I don't believe he is going to abandon And these questions suggest he's serious about it.
All the great pushbacks of the last couple of years, Brexit, the new Italian prime minister, the inability of François Hollande in Paris even to run for re-election, what they all have in common is that whether you're American, whether you're British, whether you're Italian, whether you're French, whether you're Germany, you'd like to live in America, Britain, France, Italy, Germany.
You genuinely believe in diversity.
You genuinely believe in multiculturalism.
You would like countries to be different from each other and not for the entire developed world just to throw its hands up and allow themselves simply to be turned into essentially great dysfunctional third world countries with an elite that lives very well and a big dysfunctional seething mass of competing interest groups underneath them.
They require bigger and bigger government just to mediate the conflicts between them.
That's what all the big stories of the last 12 months have in common.
Mark Stein in Farush, we will take your calls straight ahead.
Mark Stein, Farush, let's go to George in Jacksonville, Florida.
George, you're live on the Rush Limbush.
Thank you.
Thanks to you, Mark and Rush, for your common sense and humor.
You do a really good job.
I was a troubleshooter in the oil and gas industry, found a problem, be given a problem, go find solutions.
And I have a comment on the climate change religion.
It's been around a lot less, a lot shorter time than the geological records that show that the temperature's been going up and down naturally with the sun and other factors.
And the oil and gas industry pays about a trillion dollars in taxes a year in the United States, and it contributes to GDP.
And if we destroy it, it would be a real mess.
But the climate change people don't use common sense in digging out any solution for something that might happen.
And one thing you can do talking to geologists and rocket scientists is throw some sand in space to either block the sun a little bit or reflect a little more sun down or various other things like that.
And these people are just not thinking like anybody with common sense.
So you're saying there's an easy, affordable, practical solution that you could actually just blast sand into space, the point of which would be to deflect the sun's rays.
And that this is better than coming up with Cockami schemes to lower the global thermostat by 0.0 whatever of a degree over the next hundred years.
That this is actually something practical that can be done now.
Yes, absolutely.
And you put the NASA and maybe even the Russians can help put sand up there and it can be moved around.
And a little bit of sand blocks a lot of light.
It's a common sense solution and we need to keep presenting common sense solutions like you've been talking to various parliaments about and Congress.
Thanks for that, George.
I'll say this.
I don't know anything about the engineering behind that.
But the philosophy behind what George proposed is absolutely right.
That advanced societies are problem solvers.
They don't try to disinvent something, which is what climate change, the climate change hysteria is.
It's basically a way of saying, oh, our modern Western lifestyle is what's killing the planet, so we need to restrict and restrain it and effectively try to disinvent it.
What George was saying is that, no, we're problem solvers.
We move on to the next thing.
And if we need a technology that is an issue, then we can do what they do in all these kinds of movies where they put Bruce Willis into space to put a nuke inside the oncoming meteor or whatever it was.
Instead of doing that, we can put some sand up in space that will act as reflectors for where the sun's sunlight needs to go.
And actually, that's what advanced functioning societies do.
They don't claim the sky is falling.
They solve problems.
Hey, great to be with you.
Buck Sexton will be here tomorrow.
Rush returns live on Monday.
And if you want to see me in Living Color, I got my little, I'm here Friday, three hours on the radio, then venturing into the television biz.
And you can find out more about that at marksteinshow.com from the sun, Mr. Murdoch's son, the United Kingdom's biggest selling newspaper.
President Obama has deployed U.S. Special Forces troops along Lithuania's border with aggressive Russia.
Don't you love this?
It's like it's actually, it's the Cuban missile crisis now.
Obama is putting troops on the Russian border.
This has got to be, he's got it out with a bag.
January 19th is when he seizes the Kremlin and installs Nancy Pelosi as Washington's pro-consul.
He deposes Putin.
Nancy Pelosi will be put in there and will be running the joint.
But this is how it goes.
Dr. Strangehack is determined to get a war with Russia on his terms in the last two weeks of his presidency for the impertinence of discovering that John Podesta's password is password.
It's all lowercase.
You don't worry.
There's nothing funny in there.
It's not like the at symbol or anything for the A. It's just password, lowercase, P-A-S-S-W-O-R-D.
You can try it now.
Go to John Podesta's email and try hacking him with password.
Chances are he hasn't changed it.
Now you can also get got, well, he might have put a capital P on.
That's true.
That might be the new, after taking half a million dollars worth of security advice, he might have put a capital P on password.
But I wouldn't bet on it.
And chances are Donna Brazil's password is still password.
Do you know who comes out of this actually quite well is Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Because if you notice, they have emails from everybody in the Democrats.
And they have emails from all these hack journalists who are creeping and sucking up to them.
I mean, I would hate to have these toadies around me, these sycophants.
I mean, I like a bit of sycophantcy.
I like to have a minion or two, but I like lightly worn sycophantcy, not this guy.
Do you know this guy, John Harwood at CNBC?
He moderated one of the presidential debates.
If you read his emails creeping around to these big shot Dems trying to curry favor with them, they all come out, these pathetic little toadies, they're all still in their jobs, by the way, and they're all going to be covering Trump for the next four years.
But they come off badly in these emails.
The person who comes off well in these emails is Hillary Rodham Clinton.
If you notice, whenever Cheryl Mills or John Podesta or Huma Aberdin, whatever they send to Hillary Clinton, the only response they ever get from her is, interesting, please print.
Interesting, please print.
Libya is all going to hell and ISIS now control all the ports on the north coast of on the Mediterranean coast of Libya.
Interesting, please print.
There's something going on at our consulate in Benghazi you might want to keep an eye on.
Interesting, please print.
That's basically Hillary Clinton.
The only thing Hillary Clinton ever types on any of her, you know, her Hillary personal email server is she must have a very cheap plan.
She's only got like these three-word responses.
Interesting, please print.
Because Hillary from day one understands after the 1990s, she doesn't want to leave a paper trail.
All these other people, John Podesta, Don of Brazil, Huma Amberdin, they're all going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
Hillary Clinton knew that the Russians and everybody else are already in her system.
It's very interesting.
Interesting.
No, yes, but Mike, just in New York, just pointed out that if she's saying, please print, she's leaving a paper trail.
Yes, but I was using paper trail in the contemporary sense of a non-paper trail by actually demanding that it be printed out on the office fax machine and then handed to her in triplicate and put in a binder.
She's ensuring that in contemporary terms there isn't a paper trail.
So yes, yes, technically that's true.
But she's her cageiness and guardedness in these things is in contrast to all the other people like Podesta who are just like putting it all out there, saying whatever the hell is on their mind.
And The Democrats trying to trans the Democrats actually are willing to go to war over this.
Obama's got U.S. special forces along the Lithuanian-Russian border.
They're ready to rush in and seize Putin's facilities right now.
That's what it's going to be.
You've waited for this for so long.
Reagan, that milksop, that panty waste, he just did, oh, you know, the bobbing of the bobbing of Russia starts in 20 minutes.
He just did it as a joke.
When Obama says the bobbing of Russia starts in 20 minutes, he beads bombs away.
Dr. Strange Hack is going to take out Putin before January the 19th.
It's his legacy.
The rest of his legacy is in tatters.
Obamacare is in tatters, and the Iranian deal is going to be undone and all the rest of it.
And the DREAM Act is history.
Dream Act is toast.
But at least he can go out like Jimmy Cagney in white heat, standing on top of the world as it goes up in flames.
Made it, Ma, top of the world.
That is Obama, January the 19th, World War III.
You can take that to the bank, folks.
He's got special forces along the Lithuanian-Russian border.
Putin had better stop.
Putin, who's busy singing Blueberry Hill in a karaoke bar with Turkey's president and Basha Assad right now, Putin ought to actually be packing his bags because this time, this time, Putin crossed a red line that runs right through John Podesta's email inbox, and there is no backing down from that.
World War III, January 19th.
Don't miss it.
Mark Stein for Rush, more to come.
Mark Stein for Rush, let's go to Vanessa in Vernon, Connecticut.
Vanessa, you're live on the Rush Limbusha.
Great to have you with us.
Good day, Mr. Stein.
We love your elements of style.
Oh, thank you.
They're extravagant.
They're magnificent, actually.
But you put out a smoke signal to four callers from the left side.
And I am a member of the ladies of the left.
And I'm calling to say that we're going to come back.
We've already started our comeback.
And this Trump thing is just a fad.
And we've had 40 years of control of your youth in the GPS.
That is the government public schools.
And so this is just a temporary hiccup.
And don't be too sure that Trump is going to be inaugurated on the 20th.
You've got this war starting now with the Russians.
You've got every method that they will use to interrupt that inauguration.
So we're not giving up.
We are stouthearted women.
We are the ladies of the left.
And we will not be...
Thank you.
Thank you for your call, Vanessa.
As she says, 40, 40 years of control.
I wonder, I was almost convinced when she was planning to march on Washington and she said the Trump fad won't last.
But something about that GPS government public schools, I wonder if Vanessa is like one of these transgendered athletes competing in the male team.
That in fact, Vanessa is like those people, what's that C-SPAN show in the morning where they have the liberal line and the conservative line and the not quite sure what I am line?
And people always, the liberal, conservatives always call it the liberal line.
Liberals always call it the conservative.
But it was worth it.
It was a splendid go.
She said she's a member of the ladies of the left, which is terrific.
I think that's a night.
Is that a nightclub in Vernon, Connecticut?
I must remember to check that out.
This sand thing is real, by the way, this idea of where you can project sand that George was talking about.
There's a lot of information on it out there that you can blast sand into space and deflect the heat from the sun.
And you can ameliorate climate change that way.
I was talking about it with Mike because for some reason, being a very low-grade kind of schoolboy when it comes to my physics and chemistry, I was, for some reason, it reminded me of the Charles Atlas ad with the guy kicking sand in his face.
And he gets fed up with having sand kicked in his face.
He decides to kick sand in the sun's face and everything works out for him.
It's great.
You can look it up.
But maybe it's the solution to everything.
I mentioned that if you saw that New Year debacle with poor Mariah Carey that Putin had hacked into Mariah Carey's cleavage.
And aside from the whole lip-syncing thing, he'd called her dress.
He's caused her dress to fall off.
I couldn't even get over that when the number began and there's like those big feathers that the guys are holding and they part it and her dress has fallen off and the poor young lady doesn't even notice as she's prancing around.
It was horrifying to me.
But it needn't happen again because if this idea that George proposed where we put sand in space to deflect the sun's rays, with all this Russian hacking, he hacked into Bernie's electric company at Burlington Electric.
You know, they said Burlington Electric, he hacked into the American electric grid according to the Washington Post.
Putin hacked into the U.S. electric grid via a Vermont public utility company who say no such thing ever happened and it's all nonsense.
But if he can do that, I mean, so for example, if he tries to hack into Mariah Carey's cleavage again, you can just throw sand towards the Kremlin and the attempted hack will bounce back and instead of Mariah Carey, it'll hit the Bolshoi ballet and their tutus will fall off and it will be they who will look like the fools.
And this is how dynamic societies solve problems.
One of the great things about the new incoming administration is Trump's appointment for the EPA, where they put a guy whose main experience of the EPA is that he sued them multiple times because that's what you should do with the EPA.
You should sue them.
And I hope as the EPA administrator, he sues himself until he sues them out of business because he could get his legal bills covered by the EPA and then sue the EPA and eventually the whole thing will come to a standstill.
One of the great things about the possibilities of how we move forward is that equivocating, mealy-mouthed, concede 80% of the field before you even start the game kind of republicanism is in deep trouble.
And that's what was reputed by the election.
People complain about some of Trump's appointments.
Okay, yeah, so what?
It's his cabinet, and he's entitled to have who he wants.
And not all of them will be people who are quite as red meat as the base would like.
Do you think Jeb Bush, for example, would have made Jeff Sessions Attorney General?
You know, Jeb conceded.
I talked about that make America mate again, because that actually is the question.
You cannot, no matter how much you try and make up for collapsed birth rates by mass immigration, you can never do enough.
All you do is basically transform your society, transform your society.
They've tried to do it in Europe and they discover that immigrant groups, I think it's something like 60% of French Imams are on the dole.
So you can go down that route and you'll just have a lot of imams on public welfare.
And that is what has happened.
That's the same familiar pattern with mass immigration in the United States, in Canada, in continental Europe, in Australia, wherever you look.
So you can't actually, all you can do is create the kind of dynamic society, reduced welfare, where people can afford to have children again, where they're not staying at school with six-figure college debt.
Because if you stay at school till 28 and then you come out and you've got six figures of college said, do you think you're going to be starting any kind of family before you're 40?
No, you have one designer, yuppie kid, before the last egg in sight shrivels up and drops out of your body.
And that's exactly what's happened.
Why?
Because you charge people the six-figure sum to do worthless, non-productive, non-primary wealth generating pseudo-degrees, pseudo-scholarship, and then they spend so much time paying that off that they have the one designer yuppie kid at 39.
And then you discover you haven't got enough people to pay off your social security.
You haven't got enough young workers for your social security and all that.
It's the biggest question facing not just the United States, but the entire Western world.
And the Jeb Bush answer was that illegal immigration was an act of love.
And we need these people because they're more feckened and fertile than us.
So we need to have mass unskilled immigration to make all the babies we can't be bothered having ourselves.
That was Jeb Bush's serious position.
But they're better than us in part because they have higher fertility rates.
Jeb Bush.
The real answer is in that rather jokey headline from Bloomberg, make America mate again.
And you do that by not persuading people to divert huge three-figure sums of college, six-figure sums of college debt into worthless pseudo-scholarship.
Mark Stein for Rush, we'll close it out in just a moment.
Mark Stein in for Rush on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
I'm off.
Had a great time here today.
I'm off to the University of Madison, in University of Wisconsin in Madison.
I'm off to their men's project, A Self-Reflection on Moving Beyond the Masculinity Paradigm, which I think is so important in today's world.
So I'm headed to class over there.
There's a babelish co-ed with a tight sweater in the third row.
I want to put the moves on.
And she's really hot for sensitive new male types.
Tomorrow, Buck Sexton will be your designated guest host.
Buck is X CIA.
So his masculinity paradigm is at dangerously high levels.
Be alert.
If there's a guy who could do with being in that meds project class, it's Buck Sexton.
He will be here tomorrow.
I will see you Friday right here at the Golden EIB microphone.
