Dale, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Hi. Cold, snowy, 28-degree dittos from Cleveland.RUSH: You know something? That\u2019s normal for you this time of year, 28 and snow in Cleveland. But we\u2019ve got a cold front coming in here. I just saw the weather forecast this morning before the program. We\u2019ve got 80% chance of boomers this afternoon and tonight. It\u2019s 84 right here now. It\u2019s going to be 70 tomorrow with a &#8211;CALLER: Aweee<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, well, that\u2019s cold here. You gotta understand. With a north wind and no humidity, we have to break out the polar bear coats.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I know, but I\u2019m sure you feel some guilt for basking in palatial luxury in sunny south Florida.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: None at all.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (Chuckles.) Good.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: None whatsoever. I\u2019m very smug about it in fact.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-editing=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-56765\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushOnAirRadioStudio.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\">CALLER: Yeah, I\u2019m in the audiology field. I\u2019ll get to the horse meat in just a second, but you said something a couple months ago about new hope for your hearing, possibly. Is the House Institute doing something new?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, no, there isn\u2019t new hope. What you heard me saying was that I changed my mind on embryonic stem cells. To hell with the aborted babies, to hell with the children, because the libs are out there saying, &#8216;People need hope.\u2019 Michael J. Fox needs hope and the people with spinal injuries need hope. I do, too. I\u2019m deaf.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And if killing babies could restore my hearing, I\u2019ll change my mind on doing it. I was doing it to illustrate a point. You\u2019re in audiology, so you understand. The House people told me when I had my cochlear implant put in that they were working on a cure. My inner ear hair cells have just lied down, dead.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I know.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And they\u2019re working on a cure for that. They thought it might happen in ten years but they haven\u2019t made much progress. That\u2019s tough. That\u2019s the cure for baldness, essentially, and there\u2019s no progress on that.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. Well, anyway, you understand how lucky you are that you\u2019ve got the great results you did with your cochlear implant.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes, I know. A lot of people who have these are not even able to engage in speech communication for three months. Some people, it just connects to their environment. Some people never able to use the phone. They don\u2019t know why some people do better than others. That\u2019s one of the mysteries.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I know, it kills you. But, anyway, have you read about this proposed ban on slaughtering horses to send the meat overseas to Asia and to Europe where it is legal to eat horse meat?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, I know it\u2019s legal to eat horse meat in Europe, but I did not know there was a proposed ban on slaughtering horses to send the meat overseas.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh, yeah. There\u2019s some bill being proposed.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Is that because we need them for the glue?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-383621\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-Dittocam-BW-2015-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-Dittocam-BW-2015-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-Dittocam-BW-2015-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-Dittocam-BW-2015-3-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>CALLER: (Laughing.) What do you want to do with dead horses? You want to build mausoleums for them? I mean, what\u2019s so much different from slaughtering a steer or slaughtering a horse?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, you know, a horse is a horse &#8212; of course, of course &#8212; and a steer is a steer. We don\u2019t ride steers, you know? They get in bull fights. Those things are predators &#8212; and girls love horses. I mean, look, the girls love horses. In addition to the men, girls love horses. They\u2019re cute. They don\u2019t eat you, any of that sort of stuff. I\u2019ve got a companion story here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It\u2019s from Staffordsville, Kentucky, since you brought up horses. The bidding for the black pony started at $500, then took a nosedive. There were no takers for $300, $200, even $100. With a high bid of just $75, the auctioneer gave the seller the choice of taking the animal off the auction block. But the seller said, &#8216;No, I can\u2019t feed a horse. I can\u2019t even feed myself.&#8221; Now, Kentucky is the horse capital of the world, obviously. It\u2019s being overrun with thousands of horses nobody wants. Some of them perfectly healthy, but many of them starving, broken down NAGs. Other parts of the country are overwhelmed, too, and that\u2019s because of what you say, growing opposition in America to the slaughter of horses for human consumption overseas. So rather than at the end of their productive lives, slaughtering them to feed the hungry people of Europe, and wherever else, we\u2019re letting them starve to death and become NAGs and get all haggard and look ugly and stuff out there in the pasture.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, and, of course, if you wanted to equate the value of slaughtering one animal over another, the horses are the dumbest of animals. Pigs are smart.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, here we go.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: We slaughter them right and left.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, no, I was afraid this was going to happen. I first saw this debate take place on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Pigs are smarter than horses and it was an ongoing joke. The intelligence of an animal, according to a compassionate society, shouldn\u2019t have anything to do with what we do to it. We have an excess cat population, excess dog population. It would be the same reaction if we euthanize them and people are okay with that. What if we slaughtered them and sent them, say, to North Korea for food? There wouldn\u2019t be an outcry over this? As to this intelligence business, I remember one of my first ever talk shows. I was a guest host for an FM music station in Kansas City. I had never done a talk show, I always wanted to, but it had a producer, had to do guests, and he got me some author who claimed that pigs are smarter than human beings. I don\u2019t remember the details of the conversation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-249633\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/AllieHelmet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/AllieHelmet.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/AllieHelmet-300x289.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>I just remember that these debates have gone on and I\u2019ve heard people say, &#8216;Horses have to be stupid, for this reason alone. Look at how big they are and yet look at what they allow us to do to them. Rope \u2019em, chain \u2019em, ride \u2019em around, make \u2019em beasts of burden. If a horse wanted to, it could wipe out every human being that tried to capture it. Simple knee up, fall down, that\u2019s it. Horse doesn\u2019t even have to eat you.\u2019 Some wild horses act this way, but others don\u2019t. Somebody said to me that horses don\u2019t realize how much bigger they are than human beings because their eyes make everything look bigger than it is. I don\u2019t have the slightest clue if that\u2019s accurate. These stories have been bandied about, but when you start debating the relative intelligence of an animal, most people think dogs are smarter than cats. The reason for that is that cats don\u2019t respond when you call them. Now, I know you cat owners, &#8216;My cat does!\u2019 I have a cat and when the cat\u2019s hungry and I say her name, she\u2019ll look to me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/punkin.Par.0001.ImageFile.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.0009.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"249\"><\/a> She\u2019s an Abyssinian, and they\u2019re a little friendlier, you know, than other breeds, &#8216;Come here Punky, come here.\u2019 She\u2019ll make a move. But not all the time, it\u2019s very rare. She\u2019ll just look to me like I\u2019m an idiot, &#8216;Don\u2019t you know I\u2019m a cat and can\u2019t understand what you are saying?\u2019 You call a dog and it slobbers and licks you all over the place. It has what people consider unconditional love, and people think, &#8216;That\u2019s brilliant. Dog can learn the language. Dogs can even bark the language if they\u2019re good enough, smart enough.\u2019 See, I think the cat has to be smarter than the dog. There\u2019s no other possible conclusion. Cats have staff. Dogs have masters. We always refer to the dog\u2019s human as its master, and orders it around. Dog\u2019s ordered into the water to go get the duck that you just shot into the muck. Try getting a cat to do that. A cat\u2019s not going to get himself dirty for you. A cat\u2019s not going to catch any food for you, cat\u2019s not going to do diddly-squat. Cat\u2019s going to make you do all that for it. And they succeed.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no such thing as a seeing eye cat. They don\u2019t care. You get run over, car, it\u2019s your problem. They sit around, and they are superb royalty. They\u2019ve got it set up. Everybody waits on them and dotes on them. They don\u2019t have to do diddly-squat. If you don\u2019t, they\u2019ll come head butt you and all this to let you know. But all this debate about animal intelligence is relative anyway, because when you get right down to it in terms of human IQ, all animals are idiots.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I have a question for fellow cat lovers, since I am one, too.
