RUSH: We\u2019ll start in Jackson, New Jersey, with Lee. Lee, welcome, and it\u2019s great to have you with us.<\/line>CALLER: Hey, Rush, longtime listener, first-time caller.<\/line>RUSH: Thank you.<\/line>CALLER: Former Democrat, now Republican, had to respond to the cow lady<\/a> about Barbaro. No can do. Horses have to mount a mare or a phantom, as it\u2019s called.<\/line>RUSH: Wait, wait, let me bring the callers up to speed. As you know each broadcast minute here brings a new audience, and they may be wondering, ?What is this??<\/line>CALLER: What I am talking about.<\/line>RUSH: Yeah. We had a woman call earlier saying this whole Barbaro business, the horse was kept alive much longer than he should have been because of money, because of the stud fees and so forth. And the caller implied that it is possible to obtain semen from the horse from artificial insemination, even though I pointed out this is a violation of rules in thoroughbred racing. She claimed that there are techniques. I jokingly said, ?Do you know how to masturbate a horse?? I figured they only know how to do that in Washington. And she said, ?Oh, there\u2019s a technique, and I\u2019m certified.? That is why Lee here is calling, and that\u2019s why Lee is explaining to us — start at the beginning. Now, the stallion has to mount?<\/line>CALLER: Yes. He has to stand up on his hind legs, which of course Barbaro couldn\u2019t do, because he had a broken hind leg, and he has to mount a mare or a fake mare called a phantom in order produce, as the cow lady called, ?the essence.? So, as you said, even if he could —<\/line>RUSH: What is a fake phantom? This could come in handy sometime.<\/line>CALLER: It is an oblong thing on legs that they train the horse to jump for certain registries that do allow artificial insemination.<\/line>RUSH: Wait a second, they can trick a male horse — I\u2019m getting a picture here that — they can trick a male horse into thinking the piece of wood is a mare?<\/line>CALLER: More or less, yes. That\u2019s simplifying a bit, but yes.<\/line>RUSH: Well, simplifying it is oftentimes the most powerful way to make a point.<\/line><\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: Well, that\u2019s it, in a nutshell.<\/line>RUSH: Well, not quite a nut ? (Laughing.) — but that\u2019s only half the story, Lee.<\/line>CALLER: Yes. They can\u2019t do it with thoroughbreds because even if they could have gotten them to do that, all thoroughbreds are DNA tested, and he would not have been able to register any of his offspring because he did not live cover a mare.<\/line>RUSH: Right.<\/line>CALLER: So his essence would be virtually useless.<\/line>RUSH: There\u2019s no artificial way to extract the essence?<\/line>CALLER: Well, there probably is by a veterinarian, other than jumping on a mare, but that is the way that is always done for artificial insemination.<\/line>CALLER: I\u2019m not going to ask any more questions.<\/line>RUSH: Yeah, you don\u2019t want to get into details.<\/line>CALLE: No, I really don\u2019t. The picture here is enough.<\/line>CALLER: Right.<\/line>RUSH: The thing is there has to be a third party involved in this mounting business.<\/line>CALLER: Right.<\/line>RUSH: Yeah, and what that person is doing is what I\u2019m curious about.<\/line>CALLER: Well, yes, he\u2019s using what they call an artificial vagina, if you want to go into the details, and it?s put on the horse.<\/line>RUSH: It\u2019s so unfair to trick these stallions like this.<\/line>CALLER: I think. That\u2019s why the thoroughbred and the jockey club people don\u2019t allow it.<\/line>RUSH: (Laughing.)<\/line>CALLER: But anyway, the Jacksons are lovely people, and I\u2019m sure they had the horse insured for mortality. If they only cared about money, they would have put him down right away. They cared about the horse an awful lot.<\/line>RUSH: I\u2019m sure they did.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Major medical is often impossible to get, and even then only for very, very minor problems.<\/line>RUSH: Do we really want to go there? The horse had more health care than some Americans get?<\/line>CALLER: No, you can\u2019t get it for racehorses. They don\u2019t give it, for racehorses you can\u2019t get it.<\/line>RUSH: It sounds like a health care crisis for thoroughbreds to me.<\/line>CALLER: It\u2019s a huge health care crisis for thoroughbreds.<\/line>RUSH: It?s not just afflicting 46 Americans, there?s a bunch of thoroughbreds that can\u2019t get health care coverage.<\/line>CALLER: We need Hillary Care for thoroughbreds.<\/line>RUSH: We certainly do. We\u2019re learning so much here with the life and death of this great champion, Barbaro. Thanks, Lee, for the phone call. I appreciate it. Jim in Shasta Lake, California, you\u2019re next. Hello, sir.<\/line>CALLER: Yes, hi, Rush.<\/line>RUSH: Hi.<\/line>CALLER: What I have to say to you is going to kind of dovetail a little bit towards what your last caller —<\/line>RUSH: That\u2019s why we took your call now, yeah.<\/line>CALLER: Right. For many years I used to assist and then I got to where I was able to do it somewhat myself —<\/line>RUSH: Are you talking about what I think you\u2019re talking about?<\/line>CALLER: Yes. Yes.<\/line>RUSH: Masturbatory techniques, okay.<\/line>CALLER: We didn\u2019t use an artificial mare. We used a mare that was in season. A mare that was ready to receive a stallion.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/line>CALLER: And we\u2019d bring the stallion out and he would become excited and ready to mount the mare, and he would mount the mare and just as soon as he mounted the mare, a very well lubricated neoprene or nylon or type of condom was slipped over the sheath of the horse.<\/line>RUSH: Who the hell did that?<\/line>CALLER: The veterinarian would do it. And the stallion with this sheath that was slipped over him, he thought that he had entered the mare, because it was a completely different feeling, he would start his one or two or three pumps or thrusts and he would ejaculate down into the end of this sleeve into a sterilized container, and that was the semen that you could get from a stallion. And whereas Barbaro, he wouldn\u2019t be able to do that for quite some time until his legs strengthened because a horse has to stand on his two hind legs.<\/line>RUSH: Yeah.<\/line>CALLER: Right now his leg wasn\u2019t strong enough, but he could have done that, maybe, had his leg gotten better, he could have done that in the future.<\/line>RUSH: Yeah, but —<\/line>CALLER: And they would have been able to take this semen, and they could — they could —<\/line>RUSH: Guy\u2019s excited. (Laughing.)<\/line>CALLER: — inseminate a grade mare. They could not inseminate a registered thoroughbred. A grade mare like that would produce something that would run at counties and places not in the big three, the Kentucky Derby, Pimlico, and so forth. <\/line>RUSH: Let me ask a quick question. We\u2019ve got one minute here. After this sock, condom with the lubricant (which will interest Senator Reid, because he represents big lubricant industries in Nevada) — what\u2019s the mare do? Does the mare figure out here that — I mean, the mare gets tricked along with the stallion. The stallion thinks everything is normal. What\u2019s the mare doing here?<\/line>CALLER: She\u2019s standing there sort of in a squatting type position, ready to receive the stallion, which she never does because the shaft of the stallion\u2019s penis doesn\u2019t enter the mare —<\/line>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s the point. How long is the mare going to put up with this before trying to walk away? Gotta figure something\u2019s not happening. The stallion\u2019s having a ball, and the mare, nothing. You\u2019re not painting an intelligent picture of these beasts.<\/line>CALLER: Rush, she\u2019s tied up in a breeding stall.<\/line>RUSH: Oh, that explains. She\u2019s a prisoner. She\u2019s like a reverse dominatrix. Okay. Now it makes sense. I\u2019m thinking this happens out in the open, you know, in the middle of the corral. You never know what you\u2019re going to learn here, folks.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
