On Wednesday I returned to the Golden EIB Microphone for another three hours of substitute-host-level Excellence in Broadcasting on the Canada Day edition of America's Number One radio show. In the course of the show I talked about the sudden proliferation of Republicans-abandoning-Trump stories, China's "birthday gift" to Hong Kong, Crackpipe Hunter's Secret Service detail, and an ayatollah with America's number. I also shared some thoughts on Dominion Day and Independence Day - and interviewed football great Burgess Owens on his victory in Utah's GOP primary. Click below to listen:
I'll be back on the air this evening with Tucker at 8pm Eastern, and right here on Friday for the weekend edition of The Mark Steyn Show. Hope you'll tune in for one or other. The Mark Steyn Show and Tales for Our Time are made with the support of Mark Steyn Club members. For more on the Steyn Club see here.

Great show, including some great callers.
All the proposals by Kurt (?) regarding universities are exactly what's missing from conservatism: there's virtually no direct action to counter the left. Wouldn't #DefundTheColleges be a good place to start?
And Linda - the 81 year old grandmother - was brilliant!
PS. Noticed that Burgess Owens has a great book title - "Liberalism - or How to Turn Good Men into Whiners, Weenies and Wimps" - which is exemplified by Prince Harry's truly pathetic 2 minute video, in which he lectures the great unwashed on ending Systemic Racism. Sad!
Don't restrain yourself in your anger of Conservative "leadership" Mark. They are acting like the actors in Hollywood who say the approved ideology so they can be cheered when they win at the Oscars and get invited to the other crap reward shows and one day get to work with a "legend" in the industry to tell their friends that they made it. They "meet halfway" so they can go to the galas and fancy parties and one day will work along side them later on in their lives. They're sell outs. They were never serious in helping Conservatives and endorsing our values. They do enough to get elected and they hide in their offices and do their best to avoid the public light as much as possible. We need representatives that believes in the motto: "If the establishment hates me, then I'm doing something right."
Mark, thank you for standing up for the USA. Please keep commenting on the failure of the Republican Party to support President Trump on the American people. Their failure to publicly denounce the lawlessness occurring in Democratic-lead cities throughout the country, removal of this country's history and the accomplishments of the Trump Administration in this country and around the world is an absolute disgrace, disheartening and infuriating to anyone who truly cares for the US and it's future. Your voice is one of the most intelligent and thoughtful in today's unimaginable decline.
I've just worked out how to listen to the EIB Limbaugh podcasts. Loving Mark's monologues; listening to the full back catalogue of his guest appearances but I've also started listening to Rush when he's on live. The guy is a champion!
Shh! Don't let it get around, Damien. Even after abandoning my liberal leanings for, oh I don't know, reality, I held off listening to the Maharushie for years. Because he was, you know, Rush Limbaugh [shudder]. Then, I slipped--and I ain't never slippin' back. He is a champion indeed. He's Oz: Great and Powerful in presentation, but warm and charming behind the curtain (or the golden EIB microphone). Don't ever accept the received wisdom. It's not received, it's compelled; and it sure as hell ain't wisdom. As Rush would say, don't doubt me.
I quite like the genial Ken Matthews as well. I bought a new pickup with Bluetooth so I crack the windows and blast it when I'm working outside. I imagine Rush Derangement Syndrome is a big thing in the US? Nancy sure looked miffed when he got his medal. Those papers started shuffling like mad.
Mark, you mentioned noted untalented racist Jew hating buffoon Ice Cube. Were you aware that his spewing of hate towards Koreans inspired a song by the ska band Skankin' Pickle entitled "Ice Cube, Korea Wants A Word With You"? I'd suggest that Mr Cube might not want to proceed with legal action lest his past that was so graciously memory holed by those in the entertainment industry be brought back into public consciousness. Song Of The Week material?
Just when I thought the cancelling of real estate agents' use of the word "master" was the dumbest thing ever, the cultural appropriation of the Iranians' "Death To America!" chant by actual AMERICANS moves in to claim the title. (Hat tip to the Ayatollah!) There will never be a vaccine for so virulent a strain of stupid.
I have to agree with you there - and what do they intend to replace America with? Well, communism, natch - oh, yeah, but they'll get it right, this time. This time, it'll really work, not like the last time Americans were suckered by communism. Honest.
See "The Forsaken," by Tim Tzouliadis, for how that worked out, last time. Clue: the word "gulag" appears rather a lot.
Believe it or not Owen, I went to a US public school many decades ago that taught the Gulag Archipelago. I suspect the largely peaceful protestors of today think that's some Russian study of Global Warming. I've also seen it reported that the woke crowd wants John Lennon's "Imagine" to replace the Star Spangled Banner. That would seem to confirm your suspicions.
Is Ayatollah Lotfollah related to Mullah Dadullah, by any chance? Kaiser (Kay) Kyser and the Duke of Earl could make a foursome.
Going back to the same era...with the kind of people we're talking about, you're more likely to see the Count of Fife and Baron of Graymatter.
And the Sultans of Swing could play backup.
