Time Text
Hey, it's great to be with you.
Uh America's Anchorman is still away.
And so this is your undocumented Anchorman sitting in.
Honored to be here live from Ice Station EIB's satellite ice station.
And if you're fleeing the country, then do swing by and uh say hello.
You can't you can't miss us.
We've got a big sign up on the highway saying last rush guest host before the border.
The season of epiphany is upon us, and so I am the last rush guest host.
Uh we're extinct.
We're gone.
We're out of here.
We're done.
And the man himself returns live on Monday for authentic all American excellence in broadcasting.
It's open line Friday.
That means you can talk about whatever you want to talk about.
One thing I want to talk about is Hollywood, the Hollywood left doubling down on its opposition to Trump.
We'll be talking with Mr. Hollywood, Nick Searcy about that uh later this hour.
Uh but whatever's on your mind, uh whether you're as excited as Jane Fonda and Sally Field are about protesting the Trump inauguration.
Sally Field is in this new video, along with Jeffrey Wright and various other uh actors, uh demanding that Democrats in Congress stop Trump, stop Trump.
Uh and uh uh Sally Field is basically doing a modified version of her famous Oscar speech.
We don't like you, we really don't like you, and we're not gonna accept uh the verdict of the electors.
Uh we demand that you block nominees who threaten the rights of women, the LGBT community.
Well, right there, you're threatening the LGBT community because everybody knows it's the LGBTQ and then I forget what what let us come next, always lose it a bit after the cue, it's hard to keep up.
The LGBTQRTY community, uh just calling it the LGBT community and leaving off the cue is totally questophobic.
So you're you're the one with the problem here.
But they're calling on uh Democrats in Congress to block block block every single Trump pick.
And we'll talk to Nick Searcy about that.
We've been talking about this uh attack in Chicago.
The first uh Washington Post Columnist to respond to this was a fellow called Callum Borgers, and his headline is quote Pro-Trump narratives converge in one awful attack streamed on Facebook.
Uh and he's talking about how in effect all the paranoia of Trump voters, because if if if you're half the country who voted for Trump, you're paranoid, uh has come true.
So it's your fault for being for for being right too early, as it were.
Uh essentially it's the same critique that was made of Trump, and I forget what this was, because they like they come along like the number twenty-two bus now.
So I forget whether it was San Bernardino slaughter or the Orlando slaughter, or the Brussels slaughter, or the Paris slaughter, or the Nice slaughter, uh, or the German slaughter just the other day, but whichever slaughter it was, and you remember Trump was criticized for tweeting that it was something to do with Islamic terrorism before it had been officially declared to be Islamic terrorism.
So he was being hammered for being correct too soon.
And essentially that's the headline of this this piece in the Washington Post.
Pro-Trump narratives converge in one awful attack streamed on Facebook.
Um but what is interesting to me about this is the the way the guy talks about this, this uh Callum Borchers.
Um if the attackers had been white and the victim had been black, the incident would have, of course, conjured America's ugly history of white mobs committing violence against black people.
There is no parallel history of the reverse happening on anything remotely approaching the same scale.
And I always find it interesting how uh modern progressivism claims to care about people in the abstract, in generalities.
So for so for example, uh they're all about they're all about feminism, they're all about women's rights.
But if you happen to be one of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of women sexually assaulted uh in Cologne on New Year's Eve, they don't care about you because you're just a problem for the narrative Because it wasn't uh old white men who did all the sexual assaulting.
Uh so you you're you're at odds with the official narrative about the rainbow coalition.
So if you get sexually assaulted on New Year's Eve, tough.
Uh good luck to you, you're on your own, the left won't be there for you.
If you're a gay guy, uh they're all for you, oh, we love the gay, bring on the game, the the gayer the better, love gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, Orlando nightclub, forty-nine gays uh get uh get killed by a guy who is a jihadist and whose father is a Taliban supporter who stands behind Hillary Rodham Clinton at her rallies, but somehow this is all to do with the need for gun control in America.
Uh, because that's the only answer.
When gays are killed, it can't be anything to do with Islam.
It's uh it just goes to show that we've we've got to keep the Confederate flag away from people who want to kill gays.
Uh if it's any problem with the official narrative, you gay guys are uh are on your own.
Um today, tomorrow is the anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris.
Those guys are on their own too.
They're left wingers, basically.
And they're but they're left wingers who thought they should be able to insult Islam uh as vigorously as they did Christianity and Judaism and every other religion and every other force in Western society.
And when they all gunned down uh George Clooney and Helen Mirren said, Oh, just we shalli, see just we shall be, but they never actually said a word about what the guys died for, because that's a problem for the narrative too.
That's a problem for the narrative.
And if it's a choice between the official progressive narrative and your corpse, then tough.
You just gotta lie there bleeding all over the sidewalk because they won't accept anything that is at odds with the official delusion.
And that's where that's where this whole white man male thing comes by.
That's that's what happened to the guys at Charlie Ebdo a year ago tomorrow, two years ago tomorrow, actually.
I believe it's two years ago tomorrow.
Uh two years ago tomorrow, that's what happened to the guys at Charlie Ebdo.
Because the the people who killed them couldn't actually see their humanity.
They just saw the infidel.
And if you're the infidel, you've either got to die or convert to Islam or be reduced to a uh an inferior status.
And it doesn't matter whether you're a nice infidel, if you're a, oh, I love Muslims.
Come and come and sit.
I I'm welcome to my restaurant.
Have the best table.
We're going to give you the power table.
I love Muslims.
Muslims are so cute.
I love that book of yours, the Quran.
I read from it all the time.
It's a terrific read.
It doesn't matter whether you're the kind of uh infidel who wants to kiss up to them or whether you're the infidel uh who's a bit wary of them.
You're all infidels and you're all gonna die or sign on uh to their narrative.
That's what those guys at Charlie Hebdo thought, and that is also what those guys in Chicago thought, and that's also what that professor at Drexel University thought, and that's also what the tweeting tweeter whose response to my climate change post was to say senile white male thought.
It's these people can no longer argue.
All they can do is say, you're the other, you're the white male.
And that's why this Hollywood protest, where people uh saying Book Trump do this, Jane Fonda, Sally Field, all these hot A-list stars of the twenty first century, uh Jane Jane, you know, Jane Fonda, Sally Field, all of them,
they're now uh actually they don't keep keep doing this, keep doing this, and Trump will basically be able to hold next time round in the year uh what it w 2020, Trump will be able to hold just one election rally forty-eight hours before the election, and he'll still win.
You're the reason you lost.
They the you're the reason you lost this kind of assumption of your own superiority and the inability to actually uh take on the case.
It doesn't matter what it is.
It's but it doesn't matter whether it's climate change, doesn't matter if it's illegal immigration, uh if your answer is, oh well, you're just uh senile white male, dead white male, you're a bigot, you're a racist, you're a homophobe, you're a transphobe, you're a phoby phoby, phobie phobe.
I'm a phobia phob.
I'm a phobiophobe.
Because what happens when you reduce public discourse to this level is you engage in the mass moronization of society.
So you have three wrinkly old people leading the Democrat Party now who are accus you you have little wizened old Bernie Sanders and marginally less wizened Hillary Rodham Clinton and marginally less wizened Nancy Pelosi, thanks to the marvels of uh uh America's terrific surgical industry.
Telling everybody you're old white men and you're the past, and we three little wizened old people of the future.
And nobody seems to mind.
You have pasty white professors uh saying we're in favor of white white genocide, white genocide.
I can't wait for that white genocide.
Pasty little white professors, I can't wait for that white genocide.
Bring it on.
Oh, me?
Oh no, no, no, I'm right at the back of the line.
They're gonna kill all the other people first.
I mean, I am technically white, but you know, I I don't I don't identify as white, so I'll be okay.
Uh and uh and you uh and you what you do is you're actually ending the ability to argue on any issue.
You're ending the ability to argue on crime, you're ending the ability to argue on immigration, you're ending the ability to have a discussion on climate change.
So that even climate change has to be about race and homophobia and Islamophobia and all the rest of it.
And in the end, all you're doing is uh making everything more stupid and pointless.
And all the uh uh and that's the the the good side of it.
The bad side is that somewhere down on the far far side of the tracks where you never go, where just some crummy low life people you never need to think about live, there will be stupid people who see all this stuff on Twitter and see all this stuff on Facebook and see all this stuff from Hollywood celebrities demonizing uh the American people as bigots, and they will take it literally.
Mark Stein for Rush, I've got a very hard day today, by the way.
I'm working four hours.
I don't think I've worked four hours in one day since the last time I was a federal welfare bureaucrat.
But I'm doing a three-hour radio show, and then I'm doing a one-hour TV show uh with Paul Sorvino among other guests, Paul and D. D. Sorvino, uh, and you can find out more about that by going to Marksteinshow.com.
And speaking of Hollywood, we are going to go to Nick Searcy live in just a moment.
Mark Stein in for Rush.
Uh, it is a great pleasure uh to welcome to the airwaves of America's number one radio show, Nick Searcy uh from TV's Justified.
And Nick, I know I keep seeing all this stuff about Hollywood uh protests for the inauguration.
I keep seeing new videos, uh extremely slick, well-produced videos uh with featuring uh Sally Field and all these kind of people uh protesting the Trump terror.
Uh but I don't think I've spotted you uh in any of these videos.
Yeah.
Are you are you in there somewhere uh somewhere amongst uh Sally Field and Jane Fonda?
You know, Mark, I made one, uh I made a video to uh try to impact the election, but I couldn't get anyone else to be in it besides myself.
So it was just me in different costumes sort of saying the same things over and over again, cutting back and forth to myself, and it kind of just didn't work.
I mean, uh you know, I didn't like it, and uh since nobody else did, it just never went anywhere.
Do you do you think because you know a lot of these people, and the nature of uh of television, nature of working in Hollywood is that some of them are gotta be friends of yours.
Do they honestly think this is helping, or don't they see uh this is why down in uh whether you whether you're in Kentucky or Ohio or Michigan or Pennsylvania, this is actually part of the reason why Trump won.
Yeah, well, you know, Mark, I'm I'm glad you had me on to explain this because you know, celebrities like me, we live a very different life, and uh we're constantly treated like we're better than other people.
You know, when we're on the set and stuff, we uh we have our own trailers So that we don't have to go out and mingle with the with the filthy crew people and you know we get to go to lunch first before everyone else, even though everybody else works way harder than we do.
So it's constantly in reinforcing us that we're just better people than your run of the mill people running around in the world.
So of course we think that we're more qualified to tell people how to vote.
Yeah, that that's that's true.
It's also true that Bud and Earl down uh in the trailer park also have their own trailer, but it's not quite as good as the ones you guys have.
Is that right?
No, it's true.
It it it doesn't have the nice satellite hookup on the television.
You know, we don't we don't have rabbit ears in our trailers, we have like direct TV.
So that makes it a little bit better.
But here's here's Yeah, carry on.
Carry on, Nick.
Well, I was gonna ask you, Mark, if you're familiar with a device called the Amazon Echo.
Have you ever heard of this device?
Uh I've heard of it.
I don't think I know what it is, though.
Well, it's uh it's it's one of those little things that you set up in your house that you can talk to and ask it questions, and as it turns out, it there's an easy way to find out if you're actually enough of a celebrity to qualify to tell people how to vote.
And I'd like to demonstrate that for you right now.
Okay.
Um you speak to it, you call it Alexa, by the way.
Right.
Alexa.
Who is Nick Circe?
Nick Cursey is an American actor best known for portraying Chief Deputy United States martial arts.
Molin on FX is justified.
So you see, the fact that Alexa knows who I am immediately qualifies me to tell people how to vote.
Exactly.
My concern about my concern about that though, Nick, is is that if if say some of these guys I saw in the previous video who I can't recall seeing on TV since the third season of MASH in 1974, whether Alexa would be quite so up to speed on who they were.
A lot of the a lot of the people in some of these videos haven't worked.
I mean, in that sense, they should be far more sympathetic to these people in Michigan and rural Pennsylvania, because in both cases they haven't worked since the early 70s.
Yeah, uh and I think in a lot of instances they're doing these videos in an attempt to get more work.
You know, they they sort of we're we're gonna get in there with some some guys like Robert Downey Jr. or somebody like that who actually is working, and maybe some of that'll rub off on us, you know, and we'll we'll be able to work too.
Yeah, it's it's a it's a weird world though, because as you know, the the one of the huge differences between between Trump and Hillary, Hillary on the eve of the election, she was there in Philadelphia with Beyonce and Jay-Z.
Uh at election night, she had Lady Gaga and Cher and all these other people wandering around her party.
And Trump just had Trump and the kids and Mike Pence, and that was it.
And none of the celebrities did anything for Hillary.
Why would it be different now after the election?
Yeah, obviously.
Well, Trump Trump did have Scott Beo.
That's true.
That's true, he did, and God bless him.
But you know, Mark, uh there's another thing I wanted to mention.
You might actually qualify as a celebrity, and therefore you might actually qualify to make a video to tell people how to vote.
And we can check that right now with Alexa if you'd like.
Okay, okay, try that.
Oh my god, this is humiliation stuff.
Alexa.
Who is Mark Stein?
Mark Stein is a Canadian author, writer, and conservative political commentator.
Oh, there you go.
Oh, that's amaz they got Canadians in it, too.
I'm a I'm a somebody, as Sally Field would say.
They like me.
They really like me.
Yep.
You know, you're a celebrity, you know, you have your own TV show now.
Yeah, that's uh that's true.
I don't think that's why they got the Canadian author figure on there, but that is true.
I do I do have that.
Mark Slideshow.
But there's an important difference in that you're famous for saying things that you actually think up.
And see, that doesn't really count.
Hollywood celebrities are famous for things that other people write for them and for having emotions that other people tell them to have so in that respect you might not qualify as a Hollywood celebrity.
Oh dear now I'm now I'm all uh now I'm distracted.
I gotta I gotta get the same kind of quality writers who wrote that Sally Field Oscar night uh effusion.
That is good.
I am thank thank thanks for your thanks thanks for coming on and lay it all this out to us, Nick, and I'm gonna get a copy of that Amazon Echo thing because I want to be able to sit there in the in the 3 a.m lonely dark nights of the soul clicking on some electronic robot deep in Amazon who will reassure me that even a Canadian author can qualify as a celebrity.
Wow.
We're getting uh reports of a shooting at Fort Lauderdale Airport.
One person is dead nine people are shot the this all happened about half an hour ago near the baggage claim area at Fort Lauderdale Airport what three dead according to MSNBC multiple people shot at Fort Lauderdale Airport.
We will keep an eye on that and we will tell you stuff as soon as we know it's true and it's actually happened.
We're not jumping to any conclusions about what it is, who it is, but it's uh near the baggage area of Fort Lauderdale Airport latest update three dead uh and at least nine people shot.
Let's go to Jerry in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Jerry, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Hey Mark well one, listen to your guest also talk about celebrities.
We shouldn't listen to celebrities, especially celebrities and we shouldn't vote for celebrities for president, especially those who are reality TV talk show hosts.
I mean it would be horrible if we listen oh wait that's right we just selected one.
Well that there's there's a also forget about that, you know that that that doesn't count.
Well no I've never said I've never claimed in my own case I think when it's a guest host celebrity I think that is the very lowest category of celebrity.
That is like Dante's uh I don't think Dante has a circle of hell that higher number for a guesto celebrity.
So I opt out of that but I take your point Jerry what what what else is on your mind now that the celebrity is actually president.
Okay well look at okay I don't think that Trump is going to take seriously now maybe the intelligence is wrong maybe Russia didn't hack us but Russia Putin really seems to love uh Trump or maybe they didn't but it doesn't matter to Trump because Trump wants to be considered legitimate in through his all his connections are with Russia.
He appointed a secret nominated Secretary of State based primarily on his connections to Russia.
His uh oil field connections to Russia.
So I mean look at you have all these numerous connections to for Russia with Trump but he doesn't want to seem like he's connected to Russia.
He doesn't want to see Trump that Putin favors him through Putin does favor him.
And Putin does do stuff like this much worse.
So he doesn't he's thrown the intelligence community under the bus.
He's like throwing them out and he's aligning himself to Putin and he's working he's not aligning himself with Putin he loves Putin he is not aligning himself with Putin and as far as his uh State Department nominee is concerned that guy has connections there's there's like a hundred and ninety eight countries in the world and that guy has connections with a hundred and ninety nine of them.
He's connected most important he's connected everywhere he is everywhere.
Well Russia is important uh and Russia was important for this reason.
Russia was just demonstrating in Syria that if you have a factional dump of a country that's falling apart unlike Iraq and Afghanistan, Putin can actually impose his will on it.
You involve a dictator on Syria No I'm not I'm not yeah he's just he's just saved his guy in Syria in a way that the United States has not been able to impress its will on Afghanistan and Iraq.
Putin is a player look uh Russia has extremely weak demographics.
It's got a it's it's it's got free fall demographics, its population is dying uh Russian male life expectancy is is barely keeping up with West Africa.
These guys uh f uh fall face down in the vodka at fifty three fifty four.
He's got his own Islamization problem in the Caucasus he's got an economy that doesn't actually make anything uh other than vodka that anybody wants uh i Russia ought to be exiting the stage of history uh and incidentally now we're aft out of the Cold War.
Russia uh until nineteen seventeen was traditionally considered part of what one would call Western civiliz civilization.
It was the dysfunctional a dim witted cousin of Western civilization.
It had not made the same progress that North America and Western Europe had, but it was nevertheless considered part of the same family as France, England, Italy, Germany, etcetera.
In nineteen seventeen it took a detour uh for seventy-five years.
It emerged from that detour, and we thought it would all be rejoining uh the community uh of uh uh of of the West of civilization.
Instead it has become a gangster state.
But this is the this is the question that everyone should consider.
Uh Obama disdained the Bush foreign policy and embarked on his reset.
Uh Putin took the reset button and kicked it right across the Bering Straits and straight down Obama's gullet.
And Putin has spent eight years kicking Obama's butt to the point where uh Obama drew a red line on Syria, and it turns out the winner of the Syrian civil war is Putin.
Putin has kept his client in power.
All the American clients, in case you haven't noticed, Mubarak's gone.
He's toast, he's gone.
Uh all the eunuchs that had been uh neutered in the previous year, like Gaddafi, he's gone.
The French clients, like what's his name in uh Tunisia, he's gone, he's toast.
But Putin saved his client.
Foreign policy is about so you can make jokes about Putin.
Putin doesn't even care.
Uh last time I was here, thirty-six uh thirty-six Russian diplomats, thirty-five Russian diplomats were kicked out of the country by Obama.
He doesn't care because he gets his way, uh he's getting his way in Syria, in Syria, he saved his client.
He's saved the regime he backed in Syria.
And when the United States demonstrates the capacity to do that, not just in Afghanistan and Iraq, but also in places like Egypt and Yemen, uh, then we can then we can have an argument about Putin.
But right now Putin is demonstrating the most everyone says, Oh, well, you can't go into uh you can't go into the Middle East.
We just don't know anything.
We can't uh Putin Putin has uh uh uh Putin has won the Syrian Civil War.
Putin has put uh Erdogan in Turkey, who was actually uh uh on the other side in the Syri Syrian civil war, uh has now taken Erdogan, a NATO ally, and made him Putin's best friend for the first time in that part of the world.
Because I mentioned the other I mentioned the other day the Russo-Turkish war, uh the second Russo-Turkish war.
I mentioned it on this show the other day in 1870, whatever it was.
Uh right now, Erdogan, who's a supposed NATO guy and Putin are best friends.
If you don't see that Putin has had a very good eight years, uh if you think the model to emulate is the Obama model where there's just the vacuum of American power, where you're seeing uh American power spiral down the toilet, or Putin, who actually gets his way at very low cost,
he doesn't have to go and occupy countries, he's not going a nation building, he's just advancing his country's national interests, including ensuring that in some instead of uh uh as we've been doing in Syria, backing oh, this rebel seems like a nice rebel.
We'll give him uh some money and some arms and we'll help him, and then we'll give this rebel uh uh over here, he seems he seems a nice guy, we'll give him some money in arms too, and then there's no no come on, Jerry.
What do you say?
What do you want to say?
What do you want to say?
Yeah, one Putin is a dictator.
Of course he can impose his will.
We live in a republic, we live in a democracy.
Obama isn't a dictator.
He cannot just re-impose his will.
He has to deal with the Congress.
You seem to want a strong man, someone who's a very strong.
I don't want a strong man.
You Jerry, it is Jerry, it's nothing to do with a strong man.
Functioning nations to stay in the great power business.
And Russia is not a great power.
It's not a great power in demographic terms, it's not a great power in economic terms, it's not a great power in uh in in military terms.
But the definition of a great power is being able to enforce your will.
And it's nothing to do with whether you're a democracy or whether you're an autocracy as uh as Russia is.
Uh uh America has failed to impose its will.
Argue otherwise.
Go on, the mic's yours.
Happy New Year.
Give me a minute.
Well, he exactly did that.
What you want is a strongman version.
You want someone who can't.
No, I don't want a strong man.
You have contempt to stay for a democratic principle.
Oh, screw off, Jerry.
Get lost, you creep.
I am in favor of small government, liberal democracy, and great powers that are able to enforce their will in the world and get their way, rather than winding up dumping a decade and a half of men and treasure in some godforsaken barren patch of the Hindu Kush when ninety-seven per cent of the Afghan economy,
ninety-seven per cent of the Afghan economy is actually generated by the Western occupation there, and still America cannot impose its will and spends fifteen years creating a sharia toilet state in Afghanistan.
And nothing better than that, where a woman just the other day was beheaded because she went shopping in some town uh uh uh without her husband and got her head chopped off.
And it's nothing to do with oh, of course he's a dictator he can get his way.
He's getting his way in Syria.
He's getting his he's getting the Russian port that he wants on the Mediterranean in Syria, uh protected by his client indefinitely.
He saved if you're like if you're one of these thugs in that part of the world, whose side would you rather be on?
Would you rather be Mubarak who gets hung out to dry by Obama?
Would you rather be Gaddafi who gives up his weapons of mass destruction after the Iraq invasion uh and then winds up being sodomized to death with a metal pole uh because uh because Hillary Clinton decides it would look good on her resume to topple the dictator, or would you rather be Assad, who stood up to Obama and the Western world, and he's still there thanks to Putin, Jerry.
Go on, give it your best shot.
Wow, you have a lot of dictators.
You basically wish Gaddafi the dictator, Bobaric the dictator, and later.
No, I don't want I don't want in combat dictators.
I don't want dictators.
Oh, yeah.
I'm hot for dictators.
No, I I want a functioning matters is too.
I want a functioning planet where blundering do-gooders do not make things worse.
And you can go to hell, Jerry, uh, because thanks to your clever little Hillary intervention in Libya, every single Libyan port is in the hands of ISIS.
And uh and that's the jumping off point for all the migrants who are raping women uh all over all over Germany.
Uh they're getting ferried across ISIS is basically uh uh uh uh uh running the express check-in to Italy, thanks to the incompetence of do-gooders like you.
The very minimum that free peoples are entitled to ask of representative governments is that they don't made things wor don't make things worse.
Your guy has made things worse for all those women uh getting brutalized all over Europe, for all those people getting run down by trucks uh at Bastida in France, uh for all those people living in hollowed out towns uh along the Libyan Sea coast, for the most pathetic posturing.
Hillary Clinton thought she could knock off Gaddafi in her sleep.
Uh and it turned out she just replaced him with something worse.
They replaced Mubarak with something worse.
Uh statecraft, statecraft is being about being able to affect your will in the world at minimum cost.
Uh Jerry, ineffectual do-gooders make the world worse.
Mark Stein for Rush, more your call straight ahead.
Hey, Mark Stein in for us on Open Line Friday.
Give us a call.
1-800-282-2882.
I do always love to hear uh from people like Jerry, so uh so give it a go.
It's the new year, and I I made my New Year's resolution we're gonna take more calls from lefties.
We have uh breaking news uh out of Florida, as I mentioned at the bottom of the hour, that a gunman has opened fire at Fort Lauderdale International Airport.
The shooter is apparently in custody.
Um the uh there are at least nine people injured, and uh I I believe the death toll is now at three.
Uh there are large groups of emergency personnel gathered around uh what appears to be the uh baggage claim area in Terminal Two, among the people at the airport who uh who tweeted that everyone was suddenly running was uh President Bush's former White House press secretary, Ari Fleischer.
We have no more details and uh the the speculation is always boring because people just uh revert to their uh standard tropes about gun violence or whatever.
So until we do actually have more hard information to bring you, we'll we will be circumspect about that.
Um of the odd responses or no, not an odd response, a characteristic response.
Uh Chris Mathewson was just listening to me and and Jerry and just uh just just tweeted back, Chris Matthewson, I should say, not the fellow at CNBC, uh MSNBC, Chris Mathewson just uh just uh responded to the discussion I was having with Jerry with what a boob you are.
No grip on reality.
What a quote uh I'm I'm gonna have to replace this word, but what a a posterior you are.
Uh and I I can't get over I can't get over this.
We've we have s we have seen uh the one reason why the the uh the forces of progressivism lost on November the eighth is because they can't can no longer actually hold an argument.
All they can do is label, and sometimes they label you a transphobe, an Islamophobe, a homophobe, a thisophobe, a vadaphobe, and sometimes they just say that you're a female breast or a male posterior, to put it politely.
And that isn't actually debating.
That's just labelling.
Uh so Chris Mathewson or anybody else, you want to have a debate on Russian history.
I know my I know my Russian history going back hundreds of years.
I can shove the second Russo-Turkish war down your gullet, and it will be coming out in the body part that you labeled me as.
So give it your best shot.
But if you just want to label, if you just want to say, oh, you're a racist, you're a hater, you're a bigot, you're a this, you're that uh, you're just gonna lose again.
Those words, when you when you use words that should be reserved, it's like the everybody is everybody is Hitler.
Trump is Hitler, everybody's Hitler.
If everybody's Hitler, nobody's Hitler.
You denude language of all its power.
And it is depressing to me.
It is depressing to me.
How few liberals are prepared to actually go mano arguing policy positions.
It makes life extremely dull, extremely boring, uh, and as I said, it all it does is ultimately lead to the dehumanization of your fellow citizens, which is why uh this poor uh blameless special needs guy uh winds up getting brutalized for twenty-four to forty-eight hours in Chicago, because that's where labeling leads, that's where all these stupid, lame, tired insults lead.
Uh but go on, give it your best shot.
You think you know Russia better than I do?
Give me a call.
1-800-282-2882.
But you need to move using the female breast as an insult, using the male posterior as an insult, no matter how saggy or mottled or wrinkled it is no longer works.
That's one of the lessons of November the eighth.
Markstein for Rush, more straight ahead.
The Frederick Douglass High School in Lexington, Kentucky, is getting rid of its stallion mascot because a stallion is uh offensive.
The concept of uh quote, an adult male horse with intact genitalia, unquote, is reportedly offensive to women, as the petition to get rid of it says, what message does this send to our daughters and granddaughters?
The definition of a stallion is a male horse that has not been castrated and is used for breeding, or it's slang for a powerful and virile man who has a lot of lovers.
What message does this send to our sons and grandsons?
Uh so in other words, if you are an adult male with intact genitalia, there is no place for you at the Frederick Douglass High School in Lexington, Kentucky.
Uh I don't know whether they're just cutting to the chase and going straight to a Gelding.
I think that would be a great name for a mascot.
Go the Geldings.
I would love to see that at the big sports events in Lexington, Kentucky, at the Frederick Douglass High School.
Hey, go geldings.
But a stallion, yeah!
I wish I could repeat that.
