RUSH: In Chicago, the city counsel is poised to send a message to residents: Get rid of your chickens. Get this now. This is hilarious. This is all the New Age, you know, the people who sit around and do their mantras all day, ‘ohmm, ohmm,\u2019 that\u2019s who are being targeted here. ‘Coming up for a vote Wednesday is a proposal to ban chickens, a former barnyard denizen that is pecking its way into cities across the country as part of a growing organic food trend among young professionals and other urban dwellers. Chicken lovers say the birds make great pets, don\u2019t take up much backyard space and provide tasty, nutritious eggs.\u2019 Had you heard about this? People having chickens as pets in order to be organic? This organic business, look, if you like it, that\u2019s fine and dandy, I have no beef with you, but I mean you\u2019re buying into another hoax here. What is organic? Will you stop and think what organic is? Oh, give me a break, free of pesticides. Give me a break. So what? It\u2019s lunchtime, in certain parts of this country and I don\u2019t want to get too graphic here but you can take your lack of pesticides and all that organic stuff and you can go ahead and throw it in the manure that your organic chickens are eating in order to produce for you some super-duper healthy chicken, or egg, or what have you. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Shelly in Riverside, California, we\u2019ll go to you first on the phones. It\u2019s great to have you with us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rushalicious. How are you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m fine, thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, good. I\u2019m calling about the Chicken Nazis story. Very disappointed. One: I\u2019ve had chickens. They are incredible, and I think everybody should have a chicken in their backyard, like in the pot.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I guess. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: But if you eat the chicken in your backyard, then what do you got? You gotta go get another chicken.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, no, no. I was joking. I wouldn\u2019t eat the chicken in my backyard, but I would eat the eggs.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You would eat the eggs.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes and, of course, the chicken —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask. I love barnyards and farms and so forth when they\u2019re where they are. But I could tell you, if my neighbor — if I had a neighbor that I could see, and the neighbor — had a little bunch of clucking chickens next door running around, I\u2019m not sure that I would be so cool on that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the thing about chickens is they don\u2019t make noise unless — or hens unless they are laying. Excuse me. Unless they\u2019re laying eggs.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I guarantee you once the pelicans saw \u2019em and the foxes saw \u2019em, they\u2019d be making noise.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughter) Let\u2019s hope down in New York doesn\u2019t have foxes running around trying to get into the coop.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s people in Chicago are very much concerned about this, because the chickens are invading traditional urban areas, all because, you know, these yuppies think they\u2019re extending their lives by gazillions of years by going organic. Get a life. Just get a life.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Will in St. Paul. Will, nice to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. First-time caller, long — well, short-time listener, but I listen as often as I can.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I really… You know, I like a lot of your views and things like that. The organic — the organic thing, I\u2019m not — I\u2019m not sure if it was totally just about chickens that you were talking about or if it was vegetable or —<\/p>\n

RUSH: The whole thing. But you gotta understand something. I don\u2019t care. If you want to eat what you want to eat, you go ahead — and if you, in your mind, think you\u2019re eating something that\u2019s better for you, then it probably is. My problem is, I love informed people who do not just become lemmings and follow the latest fad, trend, whatever, over a cliff. I like independent thinkers. I resist organic. They\u2019re going to study caffeine now. This is insulting to the intelligence. I wish more people would be more independent and not so shepherd-like and pied piper-like. That\u2019s my only complaint, really. You can do what you want. I would never come take your organic food out of your fridge.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I work in the organic produce business.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What I do all day long is organic fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I can tell you just from personal experience and — I understand you\u2019re talking about the certain people that are out there that are, you know, they want to live the yuppie lifestyle. They\u2019re doing it as a fad. But I can tell you from personal experience that just the taste of them alone — the strawberries, apples, carrots, bananas — if you were to put them side-by-side and do a, you know, like they did years ago, a Coke and Pepsi Challenge or whatever, I guarantee you that you\u2019re gonna — gonna really just be able to taste the difference between the two. The taste alone just gets you thinking about it, and really makes you understand —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, that\u2019s fine. If they taste better to you, go for it. That\u2019s not a problemo for me.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s not just me, though. I mean, if you look at — you know, everybody, I mean — I\u2019m by no means am I a liberal, and I\u2019m not a hundred percent organic —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Nobody said you were. You don\u2019t need to be defensive here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So, you know, I\u2019m just trying to, you know, in a way I feel attacked by you by saying that, but at the same time I understand, ‘Hey, it\u2019s great that you have your opinion and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that.\u2019 There are also (crosstalk) other side of the coin.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, because mine are unusually right. This is the thing: We\u2019re all entitled to our opinions, but not everybody\u2019s is right. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s no virtue in having an opinion, especially if it\u2019s wrong. I\u2019m not talking about your organic opinion. I\u2019ve just moved beyond this topic, now, understand that. Will, I appreciate it. You\u2019re in the organic business and so forth. I don\u2019t know that. I\u2019ve never done a side-by-side taste test of organic broccoli versus nonorganic broccoli. I\u2019ve done side-by-side taste tests of organic milk, and I cannot taste the difference. I can not. Maybe it\u2019s the Kahl&uacute;a, but I can\u2019t tell. (laughs) I\u2019m just kidding. Colleen in Bergen County, New Jersey. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s Colleen. It seems every time I call it has to do with animals.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, well… (laughs) You know, it\u2019s amazing to me. After doing this show for almost 20 years now, I have this little throwaway story that I put in the top just to get out of the way on organic food, and now everybody in the world is lined up on this!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, now, here: I\u2019m just going to reiterate what the previous caller just said. He\u2019s absolutely right, Rush. Please, just try it. We did not start it as a fad at all. If anything, our — my husband — my husband had a — an issue, health issue, where we went organic for one simple reason, and believe me, our family would fight it, ‘Oh, what\u2019s the difference,\u2019 and then more and more everybody started doing it. So we didn\u2019t do it as a fad. We did it because of the chemicals and exactly what that previous caller just said. But the taste is so much better. You have to see the meat. The meat is redder. The chicken doesn\u2019t have… Uck. I really don\u2019t like to say it over the air, but it doesn\u2019t look disgusting the way… Look, the chicken isn\u2019t confined! I mean, what\u2019s wrong with me going to the supermarket and being able to choose a chicken that was able to run and have some sort of normal exercise the way a chicken —<\/p>\n

RUSH: See? Don\u2019t do this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do not. Up \u2019til that point —<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no, no. My feeling is —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I could sit by. No, don\u2019t tell me —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — that you don\u2019t like exercise.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you telling me that the steak I served at a dinner party last night — which was delicious; it was from Allen Brothers<\/a>, and it was not organic. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you telling me that if I get a steak from a steer that\u2019s running around the barnyard rather than caged, it\u2019s going to taste better.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no, no.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, you did. That\u2019s what you said.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Wait, wait, wait. First of all, your steak, you get what you pay for. That\u2019s how I look at everything in life. If you want to buy something in the supermarket that\u2019s cheap and on sale, you\u2019re going to pay for that. What you\u2019re buying is a high-quality piece of meat.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me tell you something. I do not buy a steak unless the steer has been massaged —<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) Noo.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — by the rancher to soften the fat. I\u2019m not kidding you. We all have our preferences.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s wonderful. I don\u2019t have a problem with that. I don\u2019t have a problem with the animals. I have a problem when the animal is confined and I have to eat something that never had any exercise.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (Burst out laughing) What the…? Please! No!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Do not say that. That was one of the original arguments of the organic crowd! You\u2019re talking about being kind to animals before you kill them and eat them!<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. No, no, no. No, the Indians, the American Indians. The American Indians.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (groans)<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t want to say that. They… When they killed an animal, they loved that animal —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — for everything that that animal gave their life.<\/p>\n

RUSH: When they ate it, they absolutely loved it when they ate it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And that\u2019s how I feel, because I wish I could — I can\u2019t be a vegetarian because I do like meat, but I try to live a life where I could at least —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes. Right, yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — feel that I am grateful.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See? Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ‘Feel.\u2019 You ‘feel\u2019 you\u2019re doing good. You ‘feel\u2019 that the animals that you\u2019re eating have been treated better before they were killed and slaughtered, to be eaten by you — and that\u2019s what the organic movement preys upon. That\u2019s fine. You people are misunderstanding me, here. If you want to go out and eat organic this and that, that\u2019s fine. I just hate… I dislike people being sheep, you know, getting caught up in these movements because of feelings and so forth rather than having any idea what they\u2019re doing. Chris in Las Cruces, New Mexico, you\u2019re next, EIB Network, hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Maha.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m one of hundreds of thousands of Ron Paul Rush Babies and I\u2019m calling about the organic thing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes. Yes, thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: We have the cheapest, safest, most abundant food supply in the history of all civilization, and it doesn\u2019t have to do with the voodoo that goes into organic food. It has to do with the ingenuity of American farmers and American agricultural scientists.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute, did you say organic is voodoo?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughs) A lot of what goes into organic is voodoo because it\u2019s not science. It\u2019s ‘this is the way we used to do it, therefore, this way is better.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait. You have expertise here?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. I\u2019m actually working on a Ph.D. in plant genetics.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re an agriculture science candidate, a Ph.D. candidate for agricultural science?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. And you said the organic movement is simply — there\u2019s no science to it, it\u2019s just this way is better?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, there is some science, and they have done a great effort to preservation of genetic resources. But saying that a plant is going to be tastier or healthier because we fertilized it with chicken manure that might have E. coli in it rather than precisely calculated amount of nitrogen, is asinine.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that was my point. You don\u2019t know what\u2019s in the manure.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah, it\u2019s nowhere near as healthy as what\u2019s in the synthetic fertilizer, but let me make another point. The superiority in the taste and the superiority in the freshness that the two previous callers were talking about, a lot of that has to do with the organic stuff that was produced locally and it wasn\u2019t frozen for months and it wasn\u2019t chopped up and shipped across the country three times.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. So these people are going to the local commune, called ‘a farmers market,\u2019 which is just a new commune, and they\u2019re going out there buying these fresh vegetables and so forth, and since they\u2019re fresh and haven\u2019t been transported from long distances in order to be kept, haven\u2019t been frozen, so that\u2019s the key, huh?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah!<\/p>\n

CALLER: If that\u2019s the way you want to spend your money, more power to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Absolutely! I have no problem, is the point I\u2019m trying to make here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, thanks, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. I appreciate that, Chris.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, this whole concept of organic, one more thing about that. The term organic is an absurd name anyway because there is no such thing as inorganic food, is there? Can you go to the grocery store and find the inorganic milk? Does it say inorganic on it? No. I\u2019m telling you, this is a thought movement. It\u2019s probably a good marketing ploy on the part of the agricultural community. How about, do you remember the spinach E. coli breakout? That was organic. That was organic spinach. It came from the organic cow manure that was infested with E. coli. Nobody mentioned it in the media. They just said, ‘Oh, we got some bad spinach out there.\u2019 It was organic spinach. It\u2019s not this thing that\u2019s universally better and immune to any disease. Organic is supposed to be natural, all right? All natural. Okay, Snerdley, if you want to go out there and eat organic E. coli-infested spinach — not with E. coli in it you don\u2019t. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Phil in Fargo, North Dakota. You said there\u2019s no difference in organic and whatever you call the alternative. I\u2019d say ‘natural versus organic.\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: I call it ‘conventional.\u2019 That\u2019s kind of the term we\u2019ve used.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, conventional. What did the guy from Las Cruces say that was right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (garbled) trying to look at these chemicals —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, no.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — pros of chemicals — (garbled)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, no.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — (garbled) —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s organic. Here I was right on the verge of getting proof and we got a bad cell connection. Are you still out there Phil?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, don\u2019t tell me that. Rush, are you there?<\/p>\n

RUSH: (garbled cell impression) That\u2019s how you sounded.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: When you were answering the question. It\u2019s a cell phone connection. It\u2019s no biggie. But we\u2019ll just take it for granted you confirmed what I said.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think so, yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Again, the chemical nature of these things is identical.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, okay. What are people buying into that\u2019s wrong when they believe that organic is healthier?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, again, they\u2019ve been sold on the issue that there\u2019s pesticide residues, and that\u2019s where the large emphasis has been — and again, there is the potential for that, but it\u2019s so minuscule, even the studies that the USDA conducts, they find very, very low residues of these. They usually complain about these products that maybe are not approved on a crop, that show up in very minute residues, and they\u2019ll call those a violation of the use of a particular pesticide.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I see. I see. Well, so it\u2019s a marketing thing, and it\u2019s fine. If people want to go organic, and do that, that\u2019s fine. As I said at the outset: I have no qualms about it. You can do what you want. You can drive your hybrid. As I\u2019ve always said, the thing that I\u2019ve always been bothered by is, I just hate the ease with which people can be turned into sheep, using fear. You know, people\u2019s ignorance is necessary for this to happen, and you know me. The purpose of this show, we want a more informed, engaged, educated population participating in events that determine the country\u2019s future. Let\u2019s see. Phil, are you still there?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I\u2019m still here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mr. Snerdley, who\u2019s big on organic, wants me to ask you a question.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s a fair question, because one of the guys that called was actually an organic salesman. So Mr. Snerdley wants to know if Big Food is paying you off to trash organic.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I do work for a university, and universities do the studies, and they find that in blind taste tests there\u2019s no difference. Chemically there\u2019s no difference. So maybe I have been. I don\u2019t know. I certainly don\u2019t consider it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughter) That\u2019s a great answer. You don\u2019t know. So Clintonesque. I\u2019m kidding about that. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughter) <\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughter)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush? Rush? Before you go?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: When will you be back on the air in Fargo? We sure miss you up here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, it\u2019s a technical problem. We\u2019ve got a station. They\u2019re having trouble getting — what\u2019s the word? I don\u2019t want to get too detailed about it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019re under contractual agreements with another station and they won\u2019t let you out?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s just a time thing, but we\u2019ll be in Fargo before you know it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. I appreciate it. Thanks, Phil. This organic business, you heard him say: in blind taste tests, no difference. But, see, people do think it tastes better. Now, if their mind\u2019s making them think it tastes better, that\u2019s fine. I have literally no qualms about that. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
