Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
You know, I saw a quote today, uh, folks, during uh the feverish portion of uh broadcast show prep.
I was James Lewis at the American Thinker.com.
I'm pretty sure that's where I read it.
It was a quote of uh of Vladimir Lennon, V.I. Lenin.
Lenin said that, quote, the West is full of wishful thinkers.
So we will give them what they wish for.
Uh I'll explain this in just a second.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
It's Rush Limbaugh already Wednesday here on the EIB network.
It's Wednesday everywhere where you are, too.
This is the fastest week in media, and the fastest three hours in media is now officially underway.
The telephone number, if you want to be on the program 800 282-288-2, and the email address rush at eIMeNet.com.
So the uh Russians have exploded the world's biggest non-nuclear bomb.
Uh and now you the the Lenin quote comes to mind here because uh give the left, you know, they're wishful thinkers.
Describing the American left.
You know, they if it is James Lewis points out, if you have you driven around and seen bumper stickers on the back of liberal outdies and sobs and whatever else they drive out there uh hybrids that say, if you think it, it'll happen.
Do you remember they had World Jump Day last summer?
Do you remember this?
Six hundred million people were going to jump at one time all over the planet to change the orbit and uh and the and the rotation on our axis to a f to to to get rid of global warming.
No, it didn't work because they're still complaining about global warming.
I don't think they found 600 million people to jump at the same time.
But but regardless, this is the kind of stuff they believe.
So what do they do now?
I mean, they can't, they have to deny the reality of 9-11 to live in the peaceful little phony cocoons they've uh they've woven for themselves.
Uh and now, you know, Putin, uh, even though I ladies and gentlemen understand exactly what's going on.
We have a little Napoleonic complex happening here with his uh guys at Runt, but he's KGB.
And nobody's paying attention to him anymore.
So he's dropping this big bomb.
We have 15 of these bombs, by the way, that they tested, but we have not used one against an enemy.
Uh but they've tested it.
They've got we got video of the explosion.
They say, and this this is this is where the American left when Lenin said, Yeah, the the the Americans are they're full of wishful thinkers, give them what they want.
The Russians are saying don't worry about this bomb, it will cause no environmental damage.
No, I'm I'm I'm not making this up, folks.
The new Ruski bomb will not cause environmental damage.
This now now the the film that they showed uh testing their bomb uh illustrated the debris of apartment buildings and armored vehicles at a testing range, as well as ground burned by a massive explosion.
By the way, as long as they say there is no environmental damage, then the American left is not going to criticize them for this.
I mean, they can blow up apartment buildings, they can create a giant crater and start a giant fire.
And they say there's no environmental damage with our bomb and the American enough to go.
See, they're humanitarian warriors.
That's what the Russians are.
By the way, this is a big day in Russia.
We told you about this coming up, I said this a couple weeks ago, maybe three.
This is uh this is uh conception day, September the 12th in Russia.
Family contact day.
Uh they're offering prizes to couples to give them a day off today, and they're supposed to go copulate out there.
Uh for those of you in Rio Linda, let's see.
Um and uh if the if they then supposed to produce uh Russian offspring.
Here's the problem.
The Russian population today is 140 million people.
Uh the average male life expectancy in Russia is 57 years.
In 100 in in uh in 30 years, 30, 40 years, their population of 140 will be 100.
They are losing.
They do not have adequate uh uh uh birth replacement levels.
Uh the main problems are alcoholism.
What else is there to do there?
Uh and uh intravenous uh AIDS.
Uh uh, they kill their illegal immigrants.
What do you mean illegal immigrants?
have you ever heard of Chechna?
You ever for crying out loud, HR.
They don't want illegal immigrants.
At any rate, uh uh there are prizes for families that succeed today in uh in producing offspring nine months from now.
If a baby is born on National Day, that's June twelfth, they will receive cars, TVs, and other prizes, and including SUVs.
Their bombs don't do any environmental damage, and they're giving away SUVs.
Uh, and of course, the American left and the environmentalist wackos will not be critical of the Russians for anything that's happened.
In fact, they blame Bush for it.
They'll blame us being in Iraq for it.
The Russians feel threatened by our warrior like ways.
Well, I can hear it coming.
Uh go to the audio sound bites.
Let's go to yesterday's program.
We had two stories on Mrs. Clinton's fundraising.
Uh, and uh one was from ABC, the other one was from, and then now this gets interesting, by the way.
One was from ABC uh and their blog, and the other was the Washington Post.
Both blogs.
And I said, Now see, they've given themselves cover here because they can run stories on this.
Hey, we did it, we put it on her blog.
I don't want to be very careful here.
Love bloggers, and they're extremely valuable.
They do great, great work, but they they're they're they're still small.
They're growing.
They do not have the reach of the newspaper websites, they don't have the reach of of a dead tree newspapers yet.
I mean, they're they're basically the bloggers sit around and talk to themselves.
Uh they do have some readers and and and subscribers, but but it's a small audience right now.
So what happens is that the Post and ABC put these these research stories on Mrs. Clinton's fundraising on their blogs, and not in their primary broadcasts or publications, and then they can say, we covered it.
What do you mean we're biased?
We covered it, but not with one of their uh seasoned journalists.
So I said this yesterday on this program.
Cookie, I know you're out there.
I want you listen, we'll do a little study.
We'll find out this shows up on the ABC television network in the uh what do they call it?
World News Tonight with Charles Gibson.
I'll bet somebody uh a couple of iPhones that it doesn't.
I'll bet it doesn't show up on Good Morning America.
And I'll bet they don't talk about this uh well at night line.
Well, they might do it at nightline when uh everybody but the perverts are in bed.
Who knows?
You want to make a bet about this.
Nobody took me up on this.
I had a couple iPhones out that I was willing to bet people a bit.
Nobody, nobody took me up on this.
So Cookie did the research.
Uh the results are in, and we have a montage here of all the mentions we found on the ABC broadcast network of the Norman Shoe, Shu Chowling, uh Hillary Clinton fundraising scandal.
By the way, none of those uh examples are repeated, ladies and each one that you heard was there were none.
I was right.
I know these people like every square inch, my friends, my shrinking and glorious naked body.
Nouvon.org's ad.
Republicans tried to get the Democrats to condemn it yesterday in the Senate.
They wouldn't have any part of it.
There's no I I d I didn't expect them to.
We're gonna get into this in greater detail.
Do you know what a full page ad where that ad ran in the New York Times costs in their rate book?
A full page ad like the moveon.org ad costs 165,000.
Do you know what?
That's what it cost.
You know what moveon.org paid for it.
$65,000.
They got a uh 100,000, actually, it's 167,000.
They paid $65,000 so they got a $102,000 price reduction.
Now, um uh call it an in-kind contribution from the Times because moveon.org's a political group.
Hell yes.
Now, here's the thing.
The Times doesn't have to accept any ad it doesn't want to.
We all know that.
So they they accepted it.
Uh it tells us who they are, even though we already know.
And then they gave a price discount like I mean, you know, wait till the news of this gets out to broad quarters and their legit advertisers are gonna say, hey, if will you give us a 102,000 dollar price reduction if we put a political message in a latest uh uh uh what was her name?
Uh Estee Lauder commercial or ad or what have you.
That little pinch.
You know, I I gotta tell you, people running that paper are idiots.
By the way, speaking of that, has anybody heard from about Maureen Dowd in the last six months?
I am worried.
I don't know.
Where is she?
Is she still writing her column?
I how about how about uh anybody else on that page?
Where are the New York Times columnists?
We don't hear about them anymore.
No, don't think she's happy.
Uh uh, HR, maybe she's happy and lost them.
No, I'm I I just I haven't heard the once influential op-ed page of the New York Times.
We don't hear about her.
Where is she?
Uh, I can answer the question, folks, because I'm business savvy.
This is another pinch decision to start charging people for the columnists on the website.
Now, they were thinking of stopping it.
They were going to say they're gonna stop it, but I don't know that they've done it yet.
And if they have, it hasn't helped.
We'll be right back.
Watch still ahead.
See here, folks.
Okay.
Something happening out there, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm gonna explore this in greater detail in mere moments, but I want to set this up for you.
Uh been wondering whether the uh the Norman Shu Shu Chao Ling uh Hillary Clinton Democrat Party Finance Scandal would uh would uh uh take some roots, take root and and uh take off.
And the the the place that you have to look to find out if this is going to happen, sadly, I mean it's this is it's sad, but this is the reality, is the New York Times.
If the New York Times decides that this scandal is too threatening to Mrs. Clinton and the party, then the New York Times is gonna start saying so in its own way.
Now I don't know that that's happened yet, but I got two stories here from the New York Times that may indicate they're having real problems with this story as it relates to Mrs. Clinton.
And if it's true that I suspect that they're they're they're going to uh have a problem uh with this, they will then have to have an alternative candidate, which would be Obama.
Uh, but he's also not as hip-deep in the shoe scandal as Mrs. Clinton is, but he's deep in it.
Uh the headline here of this time story, Clinton sees fear realized in trouble with donor.
And another story that the uh New York Times.
Take the money and rue is uh their their their editorial on this.
Uh and they say that Hillary's in a scandal in this editorial.
They they use that word and associate it with her.
Uh and the editorial's basically just, oh, can't we go back to the day to public financing and cleanup?
Go talk to your uh McCain Feingo boys, uh, New York Times.
You guys got what you want here, and now it turns out you don't like it's because it's leading to scandal of your front runner.
It's gonna be fascinating to watch this.
We'll have more details on this.
I just want to set you up for what's coming, but I got other news that I want to pass, a little lighthearted things here.
Higher gasoline price.
And by the way, oil's What is it, close to 80 bucks now?
Yeah, oil closing in on eighty bucks a barrel.
The uh OPEC boys say they're going to increase production.
Uh eighty bucks a barrel, of course.
What are we doing about it?
Nothing.
We're not gonna drill for any oil that we have anywhere.
By the way, folks, must remind you, I should have told you this at the outset of today's busy broadcast.
I am here on four hours sleep last night.
I just couldn't go to sleep.
I mean I didn't even go to bed.
I didn't want to.
It was one of those nights where I didn't want to turn out the lights on the day.
So I did, I was just in the library, I was alone, I was in there minding my own business, not bothering anybody.
Punkin kept jumping in my lap a couple, pardon the self-absorption here.
Punking kept jumping in my lap a couple times.
It's time to go to bed.
I know what she was telling me.
And I said, Nope, we're not going to bed.
So she retreated to one of her two favorite chairs in the uh in the library.
And finally, I didn't want to go to bed when I went to bed, but I said, I gotta do this because I have a busy broadcast tomorrow.
The audience has high expectations.
I gotta be able to perform.
So I just wanted to let you know, uh, in case something untoward happens.
Okay, higher gasoline prices are seen trimming down Americans.
This is Reuters, and it's a story out of Washington University in St. Louis.
Uh entitled A Silver Lining, The Connection Between Gas Prices and Obesity.
The author of this study at Washington U found that an additional $1 per gallon in real gasoline prices would reduce U.S. obesity by 15% over five years.
Or after five years.
Higher gasoline prices can reduce obesity by leading people to walk.
Or to cycle instead of drive and eat leaner at home instead of rich foods and how why what's that got to do with it?
Why the high gas price going to determine what you eat?
These libs, you know, every time I get one of these stories, I have a I have a cadre of liberal friends, folks.
I love to bounce things off of.
Try this story.
This is from Sweden.
Men are worse for the environment than women.
They spend more on gasoline and they eat more meat, both of which create greenhouse gas emissions.
These are the conclusions of a new report by the Swedish foreign ministry, their government.
Now you know who's going to eat this up, figuratively, is the Feminazis.
They are going to love this.
This is men are the problem.
Men are not only predators and rapists, now men are destroying the planet because they use more gas and they eat more beef.
Now I get a story like this, and I'll send it off to this cadre of my uh of my uh liberal friends.
It's it's fun to toy with them.
And I send them all the all this wacko stuff and all the mainstream liberal stuff.
And the reaction that's not all liberals.
I see it is.
That's the point.
This they the this is the they get these little views in their in their in their head, these little world views, and nothing can penetrate the little soft cocoon that they have woven for themselves in which to live.
And they get these belief systems, and one of the belief systems is that there's no evil in the world that's not caused by the United States.
I don't care whether it's war, whether it's global warming, environmental destruction, whatever it is, it's all the fault of the United States.
If the United States would just stop it, well, we could all have peace.
We'd all live happily ever after and so forth.
Reality simply doesn't permeate.
So I love to just flood them with reality.
The reality of their friends.
And it's just they they'll they'll they don't want me to know that they actively would believe something like this, but they do.
Life expectancy of Americans hits 78.
This is bad news, according to the Associated Press.
Life expectancy for Americans, nearly 78 years, the longest in U.S. history.
This, according to government figures, that age, based on the latest data available was still lower than the life span in more than three dozen other countries, however.
And here's more bad news.
But wait a minute.
I was thinking about the Russian bomb.
Don't we need more people dying?
That's that's less pressure on the environment and global warming.
I mean, if the Russian bomb causes no environmental destruction and kills a lot of people, isn't it helping the environment in essence, in the at least what we've been told by the wacko left?
So our life expectancy is 78, all-time high, still bad, according to the Associated Press.
And the next line is this, more bad news.
I...
You got it.
Yeah.
Still getting over this crud, folks, have almost turned the corner on it totally.
You have a story where the lead is life expectancy now 70.
It gives me 22 more years.
According to the actuarial tables now, 22 more years of broadcast excellence.
And then they've couple it's what more bad news, the annual number of U.S. deaths rose from 2004 to 2005, a depressing uptick after the figure had dropped by 50,000 from 2003 to 2004.
Now, here's the obligatory racial comparison paragraph.
Researchers also continued to note differences by race and sex.
Life expectancy for whites in 2005, 78.3.
Oh, wait.
That means I have 20 two years and six months of broadcast excellence.
That's the same as it was in 2004.
However, black life expectancy only rose to 73.2, but still nearly five years lower than the white figure.
What a horrible country we have.
Life expectancy for women continues to be five years longer than for men.
83.
Is that right?
The average life expectancy now for women in a What about black women?
Does it say here?
Wait a minute, we can't.
Because you know, women and minorities are always hardest hit in these stories, but it's and of course, that's even better for women because that means you're going to outlive their horrible, putrid predatory husbands by uh by five years after co.
Uh yeah, there may be a social security money if there is any.
You know, the time we're talking about 20 or 30 years, isn't that when all this is start uh supposed to start going to hell in a handbasket and the tax rates of 78% will be necessary to pay for it.
Back here in a moment.
Your guiding light to times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, despair, torture, humiliation, rape, pillage, and even the good times here on the EIB network.
Saying more in five seconds than most hosts say in an entire career.
Well, now look at here.
The Rasmussen report's daily tracking poll, presidential tracking poll for today shows that Fred Thompson is on top once again in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
Thompson, now the top choice for 28% of likely Republican primary voters, matching his highest level of support recorded to date.
Now, how can this be, ladies, of the conventional wisdom, and that is the conventional wisdom as created by a combination of so-called Beltway political consultants, and the drive-by media said that Fred Thompson got in too late,
that he hasn't raised enough money, that he can't hold on to a staff, that he's had to shake up his staff four times, that he is lazy, that his wife is a trophy wife and a control freak, and she's actually running the campaign, that he doesn't really want to be president, she wants to be queen, that he's not serious about this, and the latest is he doesn't go to church.
But at the moment he's ahead.
All of these excuses for his failure were part of the old conventional wisdom up until yesterday, all through the weekend and so forth.
This is why I, ladies and gentlemen, uh I well, I it's it's it's it's it's almost instinctive and habitual with me.
I get a read on a conventional wisdom and I go the opposite way.
All right, for those of you in the audience who are adulterers, we know you're there and you know who you are.
If you're looking to get away for a weekend fling without getting caught, there's a new French company willing to provide you, would-be adulterers, with custom-made excuses that help take the danger of discuffery out of cheating.
Founded six months ago by a former private eye, the web-based Ibila, or IBLE, it's I B I L A, can cook up invitations to phony weekend seminars, fake emergency phone calls from work, invitations to non-existent weddings, anything to justify cheating spouses' absences.
Now, the the guy, this is a woman, by the way, that's doing this, uh, Regine.
She said that her service is aimed at protecting couples and families by allowing adulterers to live their flings unattacted, undetected.
Now that that's really a way to protect the family, isn't it?
How many of you?
Not just me.
How many of you people got real curious when I said for you would be and current adulterers out there a way to get away with it?
You do.
I would never admit that.
It's uh, well, I don't know.
How's this gonna here's how it works.
This is how it works.
In an email message or a call to this company, the prospective client requests an alibi for a specific date and time.
The the the regime babe concocts just the right excuse, taking into account the client's profession and personal circumstances.
She and her co-worker, computer specialists, draw up fake restaurant and hotel bills, receipts, and other documents to help shore up what she calls her little white lies.
Now, if the You want to see Dawn's face?
It's a woman doing this, Dawn.
This is not a bunch of guys conspiring to pull this off.
This is a woman doing this.
Oh man, am I getting daggers from her?
She's saying, I would prefer you not talk about this.
Now, uh, what happens if if the adulterer was supposed to have been away for a seminar?
The company can provide the kind of freebies, pens, hats, and t-shirts sometimes given at such events.
She said that uh because of privacy issues, she could only give details about one of her past clients, whom she called Gerald Dean.
Married to a strict man, Gerald Dean was desperate to get out of the house for an hour-long meeting with an ex-boyfriend who lived abroad and was briefly passing through town.
Uh, this man was practically the love of her life, and she had to see him, so they hatched a plan.
Gerald Dean owned a driving school, so on the appointed day.
Regine called her home, pretending to be a student who needed a last minute lesson before driving test the following day.
The husband totally bought it.
He even offered to get the car out of the garage for her.
The simplest excuses like Gerald Dean's cost about 27 bucks.
That's all 27 bucks.
Well uh the more elaborate and time-consuming alibi is can go all the way up to 207.
I said most of her clients, about 60% of them are men, and they range in age from 25 to 60, most in their mid-40s.
This Regine babe is a 50-year-old mother of two, and it was her experience as a private detective that led her to open the company, and it's the second such company in Europe.
For twenty years I worked to keep people from doing what they wanted to do, and then I thought, what if I help them do it in a safe way to protect families and reputations?
So new version and definition of family values here.
And finally, in our lighthearted stack, ladies and gentlemen, I want to tell you, I saw this story last night, and I I uh it's one of the things that's keeping me up.
Uh last Miss Snerdley, stop chatting in there amongst yourselves.
You're gonna want to hear this.
I uh I was diligently researching this last night, and I I I wanted to be able to uh come on the air, provide expert quote unquote expert uh verification of this, but I was I have been unable.
So we are just going to have to rely on the assertions here.
It's from Live Science.
We could call this story Science Keeps Bouncing Along.
Here's the headline.
Exercise.
Exercise.
That's uh very unprofessional for the host to laugh at his own material.
No, I was not exercising last night.
Well, I mentally, of course, yes, I always my my brain never stops.
Exercise unleashes a bounce that bras cannot handle.
The uh subhead here, breasts fly up and down, a distance of up to eight inches.
Study says.
Whether women are said to be flat-chested or big busted, ordinary bras fall short when it comes to supporting bouncing breasts, according to a new study.
And during exercise, women's breasts bounce more than previously estimated, moving a vertical distance of up to around eight inches compared with a past maximum measurement of six inches.
Now, you you've got to envision this.
You you have to envision the researchers here.
And I I formed this picture of who these people are.
These are probably a couple of geeks with pocket protectors in white lab coats running around, and they're just fulfilling little fantasies here.
Now, can you and by the way, you've and you got a disagreement.
You got one geek with the pocket protector in his in his in his shirt pocket, saying, No, it's six inches.
The other says, no, it's eight is so they're slapping themselves around arguing over two inches here of vertical bounce of the female breasts during exercise.
Uh this gives me a new perspective on global warming, folks, the kind of people that do research.
Now, here's the next paragraph.
The bouncing, in some cases with breasts weighing twenty pounds or more, can provide uh painful and uh damaging uh damage to the limited natural support system.
Now, it is at this point that I said I need additional research.
Twenty pound uh breasts.
Now, uh but by the way, folks, I'm not trying to be a high school kid here.
This this is intriguing to me.
I happen to know.
I went to my weights and measures table.
Do you know what a gallon of water weighs?
Take take take a stab.
Now it's nine, but it varies because of evaporation.
So you okay, Brian, I'll give you make it ten pounds.
Round it up just a minute.
A gallon of water, have you ever carried a gallon of water around?
Imagine two of those to get a total of twenty pounds.
This is where I began my research, because I this is this is something that no hands-on experience here.
So I I had and I was unable to come up with anybody who had uh any any answers for me uh on on this.
If if if there are if there are such women out there, they're th uh they don't need special bras.
They need breast reduction surgery, and I I guarantee you these women are not exercising anyway.
They're using this as an excuse not to exercise.
Uh one of the study's authors said it's only recently that bra design has turned to science.
Uh this person's a biomechanics professor at the University of Portsmouth in England.
And there's a whole section here on breast biomechanics.
And oh, there's there's one other.
Let me oh, yeah.
This this is another thing that caused me to do research.
And again, ladies and gentlemen, I came up with no answers.
Maybe some you can help.
Uh during walking exercise, the women's breasts moved relatively the same, uh, the same amount in all directions.
But when participants sped up to a jog or a run, their breasts move proportionally more in some directions than others.
More than 50% of the total movement was in the up and down direction.
Twenty-two percent side to side, and this is the one that I cannot figure out.
Twenty-seven percent in and out.
Uh the overall pattern of the movement resembled a figure eight.
Well, what is it?
What's the scientific term for this?
Jiggle.
Mr. Snertley, you missed the point here.
There may be a scientific term for this jiggle, but you got to remember these pocket protector geeks are doing this hands-on research on I don't know how they're doing it.
But they've come up with the movement in proportion.
50% of the total movement up and down.
22% side to side, 27% in and out.
Uh I don't I just I hate, you know, the these stories make me come across as naive and uneducated, uninformed, uh high schoolish and backwards, but I uh folks, I just have to tell you, the only experience I have with In N Out is below the waist.
I can't figure this out.
Scathing emails arriving from subscribers at Rushlin Baugh 24-7, uh 24-7 website, Rushlinbaugh.com.
One of them, one of them said, I am shocked and stunned to hear you spend all that time on that last story about breast research.
I thought you were more old-fashioned than that.
Ladies and gentlemen.
She may have said it.
I didn't hear it if she said it.
This is an email.
I got a couple of them like that, but this one said you are I thought you were more old-fashioned than that.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have mentioned this on this program countless times many years ago.
I probably need to remind you, I am old-fashioned above the waist only.
And that's the part that counts on this program, so you can rest assured.
Let's go to the phones.
Here's uh wherever start Bruce and Alexander, Minnesota.
Hi, Bruce.
Welcome to the uh EIB network.
Hey, good to talk to you.
I have been listening since 91, and I just had a quick thought on the uh the lower obesity thought that you had.
Yeah, that was higher gas prices.
Washington University in St. Louis, yeah.
Yeah, I I I talk with business people all day in one of the you know, fast food restaurants, for example, and there is a relationship between the higher the price of gas.
I mean, People only have a fixed budget for eating out or traveling, and if I'm putting it in my gas tank, I'm not eating out at the restaurant, so it's possible that they'll eat fast food less and therefore maybe lose 15% of the weight.
It's possible.
They got to be really digging towards Okay, it may be possible, but this is anecdotal at best to say this is some sort of scientific conclusion and research, which we're led to believe since it comes from Washington, Missouri, St. Louis.
Yeah.
You know, uh Washington University in St. Louis.
I I these kind of stories are are wacko.
Because I'll tell you why.
Even if they stop eating out, they're gonna go to grocery store.
Just because gas price, you got to think about this in a responsible and reasoned, rational, intelligent way, guided by experience.
Does the price of anything change somebody's eating habits?
Just because the price of gasoline goes up and they can't go to restaurants means you're still gonna have to eat.
You got to do that before you can drive.
Well, some might differ, but you still have to eat.
So you go to the grocery store and you buy the cheap stuff.
You buy you but you buy all the stuff that it just it's this is all this is all ridiculous.
What would happen is if if this price rise continues, people are just going to buy smaller cars so that they'll still be able to live their lives.
We're Americans.
This is not the kind of thing that's gonna cause uh massive cutbacks.
You bring up fast food restaurants.
I've had this in the stack for a couple of days.
This is from the uh Los Angeles Times as Americans get fatter.
Policymakers whose no whose business it is not are seeking creative approaches to legislating health.
It is none of their damn business.
But they're gonna do it anyway.
And they may have, you know, they've entered the school cafeteria and they've tried to clean the school cafeteria up.
Now they are eyeing your neighborhood.
Amid worries of an obesity epidemic and its related illnesses, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease, Los Angeles officials, among others around the country, are proposing to limit new fast food restaurants, a tactic that could be called health zoning.
The city council will be asked this fall to consider an up to two-year moratorium on new fast food restaurants in South Los Angeles.
South Central Los Angeles, a part of the city where fast food is at least as much practicality as preference.
The people don't want them there, but when they don't have any other option, they may gravitate to what's theirs.
Said Councilwoman Jan Perry, who proposed the ordinance in June, and whose district includes portions of southern uh South LA that would be affected by the plan.
So uh moratorium in South LA on uh new fast food restaurants.
Uh is more important than jobs.
More important that's right, more important than jobs.
It's more important than a lot of other things.
This is this is why it's just it's just patently absurd, but this is liberals for you.
This is who they are, and it's it's the the people want to control your lives.
You don't have the sense to eat right, you don't have the sense to do right, you don't have the sense to think right, they're gonna do all of that for you.
From Union City, Georgia.
A McDonald's employee spent a night in jail and is facing criminal charges because a police officer's burger was too salty.
So salty he thinks it made him sick.
Kendra Bull was arrested last Friday.
Charged with misdemeanor, reckless conduct, freed on one thousand dollar bails.
She's 20 years old.
She said she accidentally spilled salt on hamburger meat and told her supervisor and co-worker who tried to thumb the salt off.
On her break, she ate a burger made with the salty meat, didn't make me sick, she told the Atlanta Urinal Constipation newspaper.
But then police officer Wendell Adams got a burger made with the oversalted meat.
He returned a short time later and told a manager it made him sick.
He had uh bull admitted spilling salt on the meat.
Adams took her outside and questioned her.
And the Israelis, ladies and gentlemen, say that they spotted nuclear installations in Syria, and that is why they dropped bombs.
And the U.S. has confirmed it.
Also, there were weapons transfers from Iran to Hezbollah going through Syria.
And that's why the uh Israelis bombed Washington officials, say that Israeli surveillance shows possible Syrian nuclear installations stocked by North Korea.
Uh and uh this was the U.S. is basically confirming that uh this is what happened.
So, quick timeout, we'll be back.
Wrap this hour up in a second.
By the way, do you hear what happened Saturday at Rutgers when the uh when Navy came in to play Rutgers?
Rutgers fans shouted obscenities, cursed, and screamed at the Navy football team.
Uh now the fans are obviously responsible for doing that, but who do you think created such a climate in this country, ladies and gentlemen?
