Time Text
Hey, great to be with you.
Uh now filling in for Rush Limbaugh, it's Mark Stein, Mark Belling, Buck Sexton, Lincoln Chafey, Martin O'Malley, Vladimir Putin.
I know you're just getting a bit sick of all the guest hosts.
Yeah, well, wait a minute.
I know I'm not going to be Buckstein.
Buck Buck wouldn't like that.
That's a totally improper su uh suggestion.
He's CIA.
He's hardcore.
He's uh as I said the other day on that masculinity paradigm that they're trying to eliminate at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
He's off the charts on the masculinity paradigm.
Uh so he wouldn't want to be confused with me.
But th this is the final hour of um of guest hosts because uh because the actual host, whose name escapes me, it's been so long, is returning to the microphone on Monday.
Yeah, Rush is uh panting to get back, and he's gonna be guest hosting for the pre-scheduled guest host for a full week of authentic all American excellence in broadcasting.
And uh as I always say I got no desire to host a radio show, because this is like America's number one radio sh show, and I I love the privilege of just being able to sit in here.
And uh I owe Rush a great debt for that.
Uh I uh I I I crossed the border, I could have just fallen in with the wrong crowd and gone all alahooakbar on Americans, but instead I got a terrific opportunity and uh I'm uh uh I get to guest host here and and there's no point competing on radio with Rush.
I've never had any interest in it.
But I do have a little television venture.
Uh it's called the Mark Stein Show, so I won't forget the name of it when I'm plugging it.
And it's uh on the air uh later tonight, and Paul Sorvino from Good Fellows is among our guests, and uh we have some live mus actually we have some live music from Paul Sorvino who has a very extensive uh repertoire.
If you think he's yeah, if you think he's just like Mr. Mobster, he's actually got a full operatic voice, and so he can hold his own uh with uh with basically uh any any big voiced uh guy singing anywhere on the planet.
And uh he'll be uh he'll be letting loose uh his voice.
I don't mean in a me and Jerry yelling at each other away.
He's far more mellifluous than that.
And uh Paul Sorvino uh and his lovely wife Dee Dee Dee Dee by by the way, predic predicted Trump's victory five years ago, when everybody was just saying, ah, this is the usual thing, he flirts with uh running for president, but he's never gonna do it.
Well she predicted that one day he would be president five years ago, and uh she so she was country bef b when country wasn't cool.
Uh but you can see uh Paul and Dee Dee Sorvino on the Mark Stein show later today.
We have news out of uh Fort Lauderdale International Airport.
The gunman is now in custody.
Uh this happened at the baggage claim near Terminal Two, three people are dead, multiple injuries, uh everything is apparently calm now after the usual chaos.
The gunman did not, whoever he is, uh was not inside the secure area, but was outside the secure area.
And I I said that I wasn't gonna be speculative on this and I I'm gonna stick to that.
But I do note that that is exactly the same thing that happened at Brussels airport just a few months ago, uh which is now a totally chaotic airport for the European Union's capital.
It's just a nightmare.
They're just th they're just trying to once you have a secure area, then obviously it's far easier for somebody to try and blow up or shoot up the non-secure area.
Why try to get inside the perimeter when there's uh a ton of people standing up lining up to get inside the perimeter, you might as well blow 'em up there.
And so uh first in Brussels and then at a subsequent attack in Istanbul, people concluded that actually the the the area outside the security perimeter is actually a very inviting target.
There's just as many people standing around, and they're a lot easier to blow up.
And there's not a lot of good answers to that.
In Brussels they keep trying to move the security perimeter, and it's become an absolute nightmare.
I flew out of there uh a few uh a couple of months ago, and the taxi driver doesn't know where to drop you off anymore, he just drops you off on some bit of uh abandoned scrub and you wind up wandering around for ages and you see other people and you you you go halfway up a parking garage and they tell you that then some guy at the door says, No, you've got to go back down and want the place is chaos.
Doesn't function anymore.
Uh and uh th there is a logic to that that the more secure you make the secure area, the more inviting the insecure area becomes.
But as I said, I'm not gonna speculate on what's going on at Fort Lauderdale because it we really do not know just yet.
But three it's now it's now the death toll is climbing, unfortunately.
Uh now four dead, five dead, according to the latest reports.
This is a serious incident.
And okay, I I'm I'm I'm breaking my self-imposed silence here, but I will say this.
The airport, following 9 11, the airport was supposed to become the most secure place in American daily life.
Uh that uh th they have spent huge amounts of money, they've created an entire bureaucracy to secure airports, and they still cannot prevent mass attacks, mass outbreaks of violence at airports.
Uh and so the big security state in the end cannot secure you and make you safe to the degree it promises.
We will uh await further details as they emerge.
But that is coming in.
Um there is a story uh out of London that the ex head of MI6, Sir John Saws, uh has said that in this is interesting in contrast to that these fever swamps about Russia hacking the election.
That is not what has happened.
Everyone has said that there is not a single ballot box anywhere that agents of the Russian state penetrated.
None.
Uh but if there were, I would invite you, if we're going to listen to the so-called intelligence community, to consider the words of Sir John Saurs, former head of MI6, who says, bizarrely, the stubby pencil and piece of paper that you put your cross on in the ballot box is actually much more secure than anything which is electronic.
And there's no dispute about that.
He's absolutely right about that.
That if you have paper ballots, you have the least insecure elections that you can hold.
Uh and that is a useful contribution from the intelligence community to the debate.
All we're seeing at the moment in the in this in this fevered narrative is that uh the the word hacking and the words and and the idea of subversion of the electoral process, those words are being destroyed by the way they're being banded around.
Nobody has found the slightest evidence of Russians hacking into America's electoral system and changing the result in, for example, a key swing county in Ohio Ohio in order to deliver a different result.
Not a single vote was hacked into.
They are right that the Russians may have reached their own conclusions about who they want to win the election.
They may well do.
I don't personally know, looking at what at the mess that Obama and Hillary have made of the world over the last eight years, why they wouldn't want another four years.
Another four years of Obama and Hillary and Putin would be king of the planet.
Uh but that but uh by interfering in in uh the domestic elections of the United States, what what do they actually mean by that?
What do they actually mean by that?
Uh Obama interfered in Brexit.
That's uh that's a that's a domestic uh policy uh question on the ballot before citizens of the United Kingdom in June, and he stands on the steps of Ten Downing Street with the then Prime Minister whose name escapes me because he's now gone, uh and says that uh he's in favor of Britain remaining in the European Union.
So he took the losing side, he decided to intervene in the internal affairs of uh of a an American ally and wound up on the losing side.
John Kerry uh said just last week that the Israeli uh government is far right wing and is enthralled to its most extreme elements.
And it was and it fell to David Cameron's successor, Theresa May, to rebuke John Kerry by saying that she did not feel it was appropriate for friendly nations to uh argue against the democratically expressed will of their allies.
The Netanyahu government is the is the expressed will of the Israeli people.
Who is John Kerry to damn them as extreme and and advise people to vote for somebody else?
So interference, if by that you mean persuasion goes on uh between sovereign states all over the world uh to one degree or another both publicly as when uh Obama made a chump of himself and uh said that he wanted the British people to vote to remain in the European Union and instead they said up yours,
Mr. Foreigner, we'll do what we want uh whether it's directly like that or whether it's by uh leaking information that they may feel may be more favorable to other people.
But that's all that we know about so far in uh in all these fever storms about the so called intelligence community and the conclusions it has reached on Russian behavior in the election.
As I said, my new year resolution is to take more calls from lefties.
I see some fellow called Jake Jackson has has tweeted that Jerry discombobulated my safe space.
He said oh did the big bad liberal hurt your fifes guess Carrick behind the EIB Mike is it the safe space you thought it was huh?
Give me a call, Jake 1 eight hundred two eight two eight eight two I'm in a good mood today because I'm bored stiff by your labels.
You aren't any good at labeling.
You aren't any you know there are people who are good at insults the Groucho Marks, Oscar Wilde you ain't any good at it.
So if labels are all you got, come on, give me a call give it give me my if this is what twenty seventeen is gonna be I'm gonna go to the Bahamas for the year.
I don't care I've heard all the labels I've heard all the labels what else do you got?
Give me a call Jake 1 eight hundred two eight two eight eight two it's open line Friday you can talk about anything you want.
Mark Stein for us more straight ahead hey Mark Stein in for us on America's number one radio show let us go all the way to uh St Catharines Ontario which is uh uh on the queue on the Queen Elizabeth way uh just like a stone's throw from Niagara Falls if you want to play know your Canadian municipalities which is our big competition coming up in just a few minutes.
Let's go to Peter who is in St. Catharines Peter it's great to have you on the show.
Mark Stein what an honor and pleasure to talk to you sir.
Uh no it's a it's a pleas pleasure for me.
What's what's on your mind Pete?
Listen open open line Friday um with Rush I want to come I want to bring the conversation back to uh the situation with first of all I think Trump will over time become one of the greatest presidents the US has had and will have I think he has the goods to make that happen.
And um yes he he might be a normal uh mortal individual however I think from what he has stated and what he plans to do I think we can get there if we stay on the Trump train.
But my argument to you sir today is and I know you are a fellow Canadian I want to issue my own clarion call to Canadians and to the US that we in Canada pause your biggest threat today.
The Canadian government under the Liberal government is Canada is the United States's problem and Trump will realize that very shortly if he has not yet look we could use the word radical Islam you could use whatever term we want to use I am someone that have been on this train arguing against what is happening the ripping across Europe the killings.
Oh the refugees the refugees in Europe uh attacking women and all the rest of it yes that's what I'm referring to and the problem is that in Canada as you would know we have let twenty five to two thousand into Canada already with a plan for many, many more.
And the argument I've been making and many others is this.
We looked on at the FBI and the CIA and the NSA in the United States who stated in hearings that they could not vet the people that Obama bought and was bringing.
And my argument is how could we in Canada have done that then?
We are taking the same refugees.
The same in fact, these people are not even refugees coming from Syria.
We are seeing that they're coming from all different organizations, all different nations, and they're not even legitimate refugees.
No, absolutely, absolutely not.
Everyone you're you're absolutely right, Peter.
I mean, one of I I spend a la a lot of time this summer with refugees, including a few days in a refugee house in uh Reutlingen in Germany.
Everybody is Syrian and everybody is sixteen or seventeen years old.
So you will have thirty-year-old Yemenis and thirty-year-old uh people from Kenya or Somalia pretending to be everyone's a sixteen or seventeen year old Syrian because uh that's how you if if you're a sixteen or seventeen year old in most European countries, your nationality doesn't matter, because you're a minor, so you're treated exactly the same uh as a sixteen or seventeen year old Swede or German.
So every all these refugees, like the fellow who uh shot up Ohio State University with the receding hairline, he was supposedly nineteen.
He had the receding hairline of a thirty-year-old.
That's what half these refugees look like.
Uh there's there's they're sixteen and seventeen years old officially.
It's the it's basically the new version of the sound of music in the in in the new Europe.
I am sixteen going on twenty-eight.
You are seventeen going on forty-seven.
I've never seen such old sixteen and seventeen year olds.
And uh they're not some of them don't even pretend to be uh the with the minute the doors closed, they're perfectly up front about who they were.
Uh I asked these guys with uh West African accents, I said, uh what are you?
And they said Syrian, and then they smiled.
I said, You're come on, you're not you're not Syrian.
You're uh where are you where are you from?
You're from Ghana, Nigeria, the Gambia?
They were they were from the Gambia.
And uh they're pretending to be they're th they're they're guys in their late twenties from the Gambia pretending to be sixteen-year-old Syrians and gaming the system.
And they got through uh th they they went in the human sort of uh smuggling route all the way to Libya, and then one of those ports that Hillary Clinton delivered to the control of ISIS, uh they put on a ship to Europe, they didn't know where they were going to go, and then when they get to Italy they find out they're going to Germany, and all they have to do is pretend to be sixteen-year-old Syrians, and then they can be uh they get all the welfare gravy.
They were having a grand old time.
And I I like personally I like Gambians.
So we were b uh we were talking uh we were talking about Bathurst, which is what the capital of the Gambia used to be called uh Banjul in the old colonial imperialist days.
So I just put on my Piff helmet and uh sang uh land of hope and glory, and we had a good old imperialist uh conversation between me and the Gambians.
They're very benign fellows.
But the but but they embody the reality of this situation, which is that these fake uh refugee programs, nobody has a clue who's coming in.
Not only are they not checking, they don't even pretend to check.
And sometimes when they do check and this again goes back to the intelligence co committee, how many separate bureaucracies gave a clean bill of health to the San Bernardino guy's bride?
Uh was it two or was it three?
Money no object.
Maybe if we'd had a fourth bureaucracy checker out, then we might have caught her, then we might have stopped her.
And this is why uh this is why these programs are uh can never secure the country.
And even if you accept the logic that it's only a tiny tiny percentage of these people who want to drive a truck over you in a Christmas market, or blow you up in a gay nightclub, or gun you down at a Christmas party in San Bernardino, even if you accept it's only point oh one percent, the logic of that is still nevertheless, and this is how percentages work.
The more you let in, the more killers you have.
So again, it makes it breaks the most basic definition of statecraft, as I said to Jerry.
You don't consciously make things worse.
And by the way, now that the Syrian civil war is over and Assad's in power for good, then all these uh bright young men, all these strapping young sixteen and seventeen-year-olds with the full beards and the receding hairlines, there's no reason for them not to be going back home to Aleppo and the other Syrian towns.
Hey, great to be with you, but even greater is the news that Rush returns after the agonizing hell and torment of the season of guest hosts.

And today I'm also doing a TV show, which is called the Mark Stein Show, and you can find out more about that at Marksteinshow.com.
Little light TV work just to kind of decompress after three hours of grueling radio.
So it's it's uh it's not it's not too it's not too bad.
Uh uh and if you go to Mark Steinshow.com, you can find out all about it.
Paul Sorvino is uh one of the guests from uh Goodfellas and with his uh lovely wife there too.
I mentioned earlier we have a develops developing story in Fort Lauderdale.
The death toll now is up to five people.
Five dead, uh eight wounded in a shooting at the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport in Florida at a baggage claim inside Terminal Two.
The situation is apparently uh now under control.
The gunman has been taken into custody, and the Governor of Florida, Governor Scott, is en route to the airport.
It's obviously a huge uh tourist hub in the United States, and uh at this time of year when people are still kind of going back after the Christmas New Year break, it's extremely busy.
Uh the Associated Press and others are showing photographs of victims arriving at the Broward Health Trauma Center, uh and there are hundreds of people lined up outside on the tarmac on the runway, not on the runways, but on the tarmac, waiting for police to clear the air terminals.
This that they're standing around outside Terminal Two on the tarmac.
Uh But we do know that the gunman has been taken into custody, that so far five people are dead and that eight are in custody.
And as soon as we get more actual real news we will bring you uh that real news.
But in these early hours, it is always speculative.
It is always speculative.
And people rush in and they immediately go to their their their they default to their standard tropes about gun violence in America or whatever it is.
We don't know what it is, um but we will bring you any actual news between now and the top of the hour.
The the Wall Street Journal had an interesting story today.
Vac vacancy rates rise at shopping centers.
And and basically the gist of the story is that people built huge shopping malls all around every American city, throughout the suburbs very glamorous subur uh uh s shopping malls, very large malls, expecting uh in the wake of the the uh the boom of the nineteen eighties that there will always be retail outlets who wanted to fill these malls.
And of course the reality is that one of the side effects of people like Amazon coming along and taking up uh more and more of the retail market is that a lot of these storefronts are now empty and you can't actually find big anchor department stores like Macy's uh or whatever to come and uh to come and be the bedrock of a big glamorous shopping mall.
And it has all kinds of knock on effects because if you're in these suburbs then then the commercial space provides a big chunk of property taxes which enables you to hold down the rate for for f for your residents and your voters.
So it has all kinds of it all ki kinds of implications.
And it's about what's interesting to me about it is that uh it it's how small developments like electronic commerce in the 1990s when it started and people think it's interesting.
Oh look I can go online now and buy a book.
Oh I don't know about that.
I still like going to a bookstore and browsing uh the books and coming across something I haven't read before and maybe picking it up and that's always the dream with bookstores.
But in fact one reason why those bookstores went bust is because they were highly politicized.
There's all kinds of people I know this nowhere of I speak.
You can have a you can have a best selling book and and in these uh left wing bookstores they still don't want to have you in the front of the window or whatever it's always so it's actually easier to get certain kinds of books.
If Rush ever again uh writes a another book like he did when he did his grown up books, I'm not talking about Rush Rivere.
Rush Revere books uh as you know have been hugely successful among kids and whatever.
But even then if you go into a children's book department, you'll find all kinds of far less readable and unwanted children's books taking up all the prime real estate because because the kind of clerks who run those bookstores want to put Rush Revere books right on the bottom shelf,
uh tucked away at the back, propping up the wonky leg with all the uh un unsold uh uh uh uh books children's books that they're trying to get rid of so all these so we no longer have these big glamorous anchors and the and the malls are getting smaller and smaller and smaller.
And and the reason I mention this is because this absolutely connects with where we're going, the next stage of what is going to happen uh unless Trump and uh and other Western nations manage to turn this thing around.
Basically after manufacturing went south people moved to a service center model.
So people used to do manual they they'd work at the mill or they work at the factory, now do service center jobs, lousy service jobs at the mall.
Well when the mall's drying up because the mall doesn't need these big bricks and mortar places now because everything's being more and more is being done online.
You can get the color of the dress you want online rather than they don't have it and do you wait a week or do you go so more and more of it is being done online.
So eventually, aside from stuff you actually physically need to be there for, and Amazon is now delivering fast food online.
So whether the Taco Bells and Dunkin' Donuts will even be there is worth questioning.
Because i i if Amazon get good at delivering tacos and donuts, there ain't even going to be any service jobs.
The number of service jobs is going to fall.
What comes next?
What w what comes next?
What do people do?
The left's answer to this is that as long as you give people big enough welfare checks, they don't mind having pointless lives where they just sit at home and do nothing and take heroin or whatever they else they've got to do.
Uh the traditional view is that the devil makes work for idle hands.
And that applies whether you're a jihadist or whether you're some punk in Chicago who wants to beat up some disabled guy uh because he's an effing white person.
The devil makes works for idle hands.
Uh almost all the jihadist trouble in uh in Europe, including people who were involved in the nine eleven thing, came from people who'd been living high off the hog on Euro welfare.
Uh and maybe if they'd had actually had to get up in the morning and go and work at a mill or go and work at a factory or do back breaking work at a farm, uh they'd be too exhausted to strap on the uh suicide bomber belt and go and plot jihad with their mates in the evening.
Uh and maybe if if if people had to actually do uh the kind of jobs that people were expected to do before they all began opting out of the workforce participation rate, uh they'd be too tired to go and beat up some h handicapped guy in the evening.
But these are these long-term trends are things that they're not explicitly political, they're not about Republicans, they're not about Democrats, they may not even be about Trump.
Because who knows what the answer to this are.
But they are they are determining the kind of world we live in.
My daughter and I, four years ago, we were in Reading, Berkshire, which is a rather grim and ugly town in the United Kingdom, and she said to me she wanted to go to this thing called zombie shopping mall.
Uh it's like a theme park experience.
And uh wa where you get to fight zombies.
There are zombies everywhere, and you get to uh fire paintballs or whatever at them and beat the zombies.
And uh I said, okay.
What it what amazed me when I dropped her off at the shopping mall is there was actually a real shopping mall.
So she was she was it it was it was if you imag it was one of these shopping malls the Wall Street Journal is talking about.
It was full of closed JC pennies and closed price choppers and closed payless shoe sources, the British equivalents.
But now it the the abandoned shopping mall had been taken over by zombies, and you were to rush through the storefronts, the JCPenney uh and the Macy's and all the rest of it, trying to dodge the zombies.
And it's uh i it impressed me actually.
It was way more exciting than being in a theme park uh being in an actual abandoned shopping mall as grim and depressing as it was that's been taken over by zombies.
And the Wall Street Journal today is basically saying that's where we're headed.
Unless somebody comes up with an answer to the way uh the economics of a globalized world are going, we're all gonna be living in zombie shopping mall.
Mark Stein for Rush, it's open line Friday, we will take anything you want to talk about.
All you gotta do is call 1800-282-2882.
Uh we have some uh late breaking news on the Rush Limbaugh show.
Uh apparently Donald Trump has won the presidential election.
Uh you can take that to the bank because Vice President Joe Biden has declared, quote, it is over, unquote, after the third challenge lodged by a House Democrat.
This was during the official uh congressional certification of the president.
He is the president.
Uh Joe Biden has said so.
Sally Field disagrees, so it is for uh Sally Field and Joe Biden slug it out on dancing with the Never Trumpers, which is the hit new ABC series.
Uh Joe Biden goes on to face Sally Field in the final.
Uh Let us go to Brian in Tampa, Florida.
Brian, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Great to have you with us.
Hey, Mark.
Merry New Year.
And by the way, anxious to see the TV show because I like you.
I really like you.
But you forewarned here.
I'm speaking from what you would call, I think, the Pansy Center.
You've talked on this broadcast how how Orwell highlighted the pansy left.
I'd be really embarrassed about being uh a pansy centrist, except for the fact that uh once I was going through one of my rants against this or that societal ill, and my late lady friend up in Seattle, Marcy said, you know, Brian, at least you're not an intellectual coward.
And she was right, but I do share with you an interest in Broadway musicals.
Oh particularly films.
And my favorite happens to be Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
I know you know it intimately.
But did you actually shot?
Of course you knew it was shot in Cinema Scope, but it was also shot a second time for a never used, a never released regular aspect ratio version of it.
And that means that there's at least two versions of what I think is the greatest dance sequence in cinematic history.
I'm not talking about barn raising or the barn dance.
I'm talking about the lonesome poll cat sequence.
Which has Michael Kidd choreographing axes swinging next to the singers' heads.
Is that you ever seen the alternate take of that?
And what do we got to do to get it on YouTube?
No, you're you're right.
It's a very unusually butch sequence.
I know Buck Sexton is uh probably curling up in disgust.
My fellow Butch guest host, Buck Sexton, but it actually is unusually butch for for for a musical film dancing.
It's like it's like the the the seven guys are all lonesome poll cats, uh, whatever the lyric is, lonesome sad and blue, because I cause I ain't got no feminine poll cat.
And I have never seen it in the uh they did in the big cinema scope, so you can get all the seven brothers in.
I don't know if you did in regular aspect, whether you just got the three brothers in, but I've never seen that, Brian.
Uh and I thank you for bringing that to my attention, because I honestly had no uh I should have known that there is another version of that.
So I will see if I can find some Hollywood buddy to sneak me a an illegal version of that.
By the way, I like the film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
But I I just saw the new uh Isis remake the other day, and it is so much the dancing is so much more spectacular.
They've got a much bigger cast uh because it's actually uh twenty-eight brides for seven brothers.
It's the new Moslem version.
You'll love it.
Uh Mark Stein in for Rush.
We'll close it out in just a moment.
As you know, while we were on the air, just after one o'clock Eastern, uh a uh mass shooting occurred at Fort Lauderdale International Airport.
So far, the death toll is at five with eight injured.
Senator Bill Nelson of Florida, uh Democrat Senator, I had the pleasure, if that's the word, of appearing before him uh in the United States Senate about a year ago.
Senator Bill Nelson of Florida has identified the shooter as Esteban Santiago.
Esteban Santiago, and Senator Nelson said uh Mr. Santiago was carrying a military identification.
There are also reports that there is a second shooter still at large in a parking garage.
It's always very confused uh in the immediate aftermath of a shooting, uh, but Rush will break it all down for you when he returns live on Monday.
The season of guest hosts has come to an end, and Rush himself will be back for authentic full strength all American excellence on broadcasting on Monday.
