Time Text
Now, I think Gloria Allred has shown up for her press conference.
I just saw a little videotake of it standing next to the blonde bombshell that is the fourth woman there.
But I did read where the thing was interrupted, but I can't find out who, what, or how.
So I think the thing has come to a – it's been interrupted somehow, maybe on purpose, because – have they reached a verdict in the Conrad Murray?
Okay.
Well, okay, Allred knows she can't compete with that.
So maybe she's waiting for that before she goes for it.
But before the whole thing was interrupted, by the way, welcome back, folks, Rush Limbo here.
You know that.
Here is what Gloria Allred said with the blonde bombshell fourth accuser standing to her left.
About a month before she was terminated.
At the suggestion of her boyfriend, a pediatrician, whom she had dated for four years, she reached out to Mr. Kane for help in finding another job.
Instead of receiving the help that she had hoped for, Mr. Kane instead decided to provide her with his idea of a stimulus package.
That's it.
Cain decided to provide her with his idea of a stimulus package.
What is her name, Bialik?
Is that the name of the accuser?
Bialik, anyway, she said that Kane accosted her in a car, put his hand up her dress, tried to pull her head toward his crotch, said, you want a job, right?
That's what this babe is alleging here with Gloria Allred.
But folks, wait, wait a second.
NBC News has not confirmed the story yet.
David Brooks hasn't confirmed the story.
Bill Crystal hasn't confirmed the story.
Rich Lowry hasn't confirmed the story.
Paul Jugo hasn't confirmed the story.
And more importantly, Politico hasn't even found this woman.
Can you try to imagine your Politico for just a second here?
In seven days, you had 138 stories.
Not once could you tell anybody what Herman Kane allegedly did.
Now stick with me on this.
You are the Politico.
You break the story.
You have 138 Herman Kane stories.
In none of them can you tell anybody who the women are or what Kane did.
Here comes Gloria Allred in one press conference with graphic details.
Gloria Allred has scooped the Politico and their 138 stories.
And now NBC, which has political people on their network all the time, NBC cannot confirm this story.
And now it's a possible verdict in the Conrad Murray trial, the Michael Jackson doctor.
Possible verdict.
The accuser's name is Sharon Bialik, B-I-A-L-E-K.
So for Allred to come out and say that Kane offered her his version of a stimulus package.
Isn't that joking about something that's very serious?
I mean, sexual harassment is very serious.
Here comes the groped one, Gloria Allred, the happily groped one by TSA agents making a joke about it.
What a circus this is.
Welcome back, my friends.
Great to have you here.
The telephone number, if you want to be on the program, is 800-282-2882.
The email address, lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
From the Washington Times, the regime, Obama regime, has failed to meet more than half. of the new health care law's deadlines from submitting plans for new value-based Medicare purchasing programs to publishing criteria for determining the medically undeserved, underserved.
Of course, that's a faux pas.
I might have been more right when I had it wrong.
Value-based Medicare purchasing programs to publishing criteria for determining the medically undeserved.
A report requested by Senator Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican, indicates that the Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies missed 18 of 30 deadlines since the so-called Affordable Care Act was passed in March of 2010.
In one instance, a National Healthcare Workforce Commission created by the law was appointed but had not been funded and has not submitted two reports that were due on April 1st and October 1st.
In another example, the Comptroller General did not submit to Congress a report on seniors' access to vaccines that was due on June 1st.
The Congressional Research Service searched only publicly available sources to determine whether the deadline had been met and indicated no public information located.
Nothing was found.
So the regime has missed over half of its own health care deadlines.
That'd be deadlines that they set.
That doesn't bode well.
I would think if the Supreme Court justice and the regime can't even implement its own plan, if it can't even implement and meet its own deadlines.
We love Liz Cheney on this program, the way she handles herself on television.
She was on with Bob Schieffer yesterday on Slay the Nation.
And they were discussing the Republican primary.
And Schieffer says, okay, so what do you think of what's going on out there, Liz?
Well, I mean, I take your point, but I would also make the point that we in the media, it is not our job to make the campaign.
That is up to the candidates.
The candidates determine what the campaign is.
You guys choose what you're going to cover.
Wait a second.
What was that?
Yeah, I was going to say, play 18.
Nobody can do anything right except me today.
Play 18.
This is all pretty frustrating.
This country faces huge, huge challenges.
And, you know, frankly, watching a morning show like this one where first we're talking about Herman Cain allegations and then we're showing a YouTube mashup.
We're covering the campaign a little bit.
Well, but the issues are what matters, Bob.
And with all due respect, you know, the American people are out there afraid.
They're afraid that the economy is going off a cliff.
They're afraid that this president wants higher taxes and more spending and bigger government.
And then Schieffer said.
Well, I mean, I take your point, but I would also make the point that we in the media, it is not our job to make the campaign.
That is up to the candidates.
The candidates determine what the campaign is.
You guys choose what you're going to cover.
You guys choose what you're going to cover, Bob.
She's right.
She's right.
A little defensive there, Bob Schieffer.
Okay, so did Conrad Murray do it or didn't he?
Do you think he did?
Do you think he's guilty of manslaughter?
First, secondary manslaughter, whatever it is.
Michael Jackson's doctor, certainly.
Do you think he did it or didn't do it?
They're saying Jackson's shot himself up with the stuff.
Okay, so the doctor, do you think the doctor's had it?
Doctors going down.
We'll keep a sharp eye.
They've got, AP says they've reached a verdict.
NBC hasn't confirmed.
Politico says, what's the story again?
Moving on, audio soundbite number 21.
This is funny.
This is Mark Whitaker.
This is yesterday morning on reliable sources.
The guest is CNN Executive Vice President and former Newsweek magazine editor Mark Whitaker.
And during a discussion about Newsweek's decision not to publish the Monica Lewinsky story, host Howard Kurtz says, you know, one of the most famous or infamous decisions that you made, you were filling in as editor at the time, was in the Monica Lewinsky story.
Mike Isakoff basically had the goods, or at least it looked that way later.
The thing I never understood about the decision to hold the story, then of course Drudge got hold of it and the Washington Post broke it, is that you had confirmed that Ken Starr was investigating it.
Frankly, we didn't feel by from Thursday to that Saturday that we were on firm enough ground to report a story that wouldn't just be a story about Ken Starr, that ultimately would be about accusing the president of having sex in the Oval Office with an intern, which was, if we had gotten that wrong, could have been, you know, a mortal blow to Newsweek's reputation.
What turned out to be a mortal blow to Newsweek's reputation was spiking the story.
So Mr. Whitaker says that he killed the Lewinsky story to protect Newsweek, when in fact, killing the story killed Newsweek, but protected Clinton.
And Jaja Huffington, not happy.
A lot of misery out there on the left.
She was on this week.
Do you, by the way, people ask me why I don't watch the Sunday shows anymore?
We've played some soundbites.
And outside of Liz Cheney, it's the same old bunch of people.
The cast of characters never changes, and what they say never changes, and the subject matter never changes.
When you know, for example, that on Sunday, Meet the Press is going to be talking about Herman Cain, you don't need to watch it to know what it's going to be about, what they're going to say.
Okay, folks, get this now.
I have been wrong in pronouncing the fourth Kane accuser's name as Bialik.
Gloria Allred says that her name is pronounced Bialik, as in Bialik.
Bialik, it's B-I-A-L-E-K.
I assumed it was Bialik, but Gloria Allred says her name is Bialik.
Isn't by a lick.
No, no.
No, no, no.
Bialik.
Well, there's no R in the name, so you can't say it's Rentalik.
It's Bialik.
And that's, according to Gloria Allred.
I don't know if Ms. Bialik likes Sented Candles or not.
I don't know.
That hasn't.
How's that relevant?
That hasn't been mentioned.
We don't know if she's been to Happy Valley, Pennsylvania.
It's where Penn State is.
We're still waiting for all of these details to be forthcoming, and we'll be the first to have them when they are forthcoming.
Whoa, whoa.
Yeah, give me line two here before we go to Sharon Bialik, Kathy in Irvine, California.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I'm spitting mad at you, Rush Limbaugh.
Oh, no.
Oh, yes.
Every woman in my life is spitting mad at you.
Why?
Everyone.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Why you?
Why me?
Because you are getting mighty close to bootlicking here.
This is ridiculous.
Bootlicking?
Yes.
Herman King.
Whose boots?
Herman King.
Oh, come on.
David Brooks said he's not going to be the nominee.
Crystal said he's not going to be the nominee.
Everybody knows he's going to be the nominee.
We're just reporting the news here.
Then you failed to report what else Paul Gigo said on Fox News Sunday.
The same thing I was screaming at you last week.
Had this come out in October and at an October surprise and he was the nominee, we'd be dead in the water and we'd get Obama back.
He failed to disclose.
That, to me, disqualifies him completely.
I don't care if he did it or didn't do it.
He didn't disclose.
You got to be very careful here.
This would have disqualified me.
You've got to be very careful.
Wait a second now.
In all candor here, Kathy, maybe there's nothing to disclose.
It doesn't matter.
It's a firestorm and it's been going on for how many weeks now?
And I thought, okay, he's dropped it.
He'll be done with it on Monday.
I turn you on again.
And there you go.
I had to turn you off last week.
I was so furious.
This is true.
We would have been destroyed in October if he was the nominee because he become a big turnoff now.
Is that it?
All he had to do is say, this is in my background, and I want it out there.
And I was having so much fun today, and you've just killed it.
You've just poured cold water.
Here I am.
I'm enjoying myself.
I'm having what I think is one heck of a funny, good show.
And here you come and just throw ice all over me.
Well, you threw ice all over me last week.
It's my turn.
I didn't throw ice on you.
I had to turn you off.
I mean, that's how bad I thought it got.
People are not paying attention to this the right way.
If we hadn't disclosed it now, whoever it is, I don't care who did it.
I don't care what he did, if he did it or not.
He failed to disclose it up front when he came out.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
Kelly, or Kathy, it is very dangerous.
If you say you don't care whether he did it or not, what you're saying is that anybody the media throws a false allegation at has got to quit, has got to get out of the way, because there's going to...
What?
That's senseless.
You're just...
You're conceding that the media can take any of our people out with a false allegation.
But no, they were not allegations.
They were charges that were paid off.
What if next up is Romney?
And you know what?
It doesn't matter.
If it's out there and one person knows it, everybody knows it.
He should have disclosed it.
Okay, what's the right way to pay attention to this then?
The right way to pay attention to it is he failed to disclose.
That means to me he's disqualified.
That's all.
There's nothing else to say aside from the taxes.
Tax plan is horrible and will raise everybody's taxes.
Oh, now we get to the point.
Now we get that.
We get to the bottom of it.
You don't like 999.
I don't like 99.
It's going to raise everybody's taxes.
It's crazy.
It's built on a false premise.
But I wasn't angry.
I just said, I can't go for that.
I don't like the way he processes things.
I don't think he's good at critical thinking.
He should have known that it was built on a false premise.
And so I wiped him out.
I liked Tommy Kane.
Let me ask you.
Did Rick Perry fail to disclose that racist rock in the nick of time?
Did Romney fail to disclose that he had the illegals working for the landscapers that he had hired?
Rush.
No comparison.
Okay.
Herman, quit.
Finish it.
Get out of here or I'm going to lose my audience.
No, I didn't tell him.
I'm telling you, he should have disclosed it.
That's his failure.
His failure was not to disclose.
He should have done it up front, let people know exactly what was in his background so that it wouldn't come out in October.
You know for a fact it would have destroyed us.
We would have had Obama for another four years.
How does he know what to disclose?
Seriously.
Here's what he knows.
He knows he was charged if he doesn't.
He's not privy to the agreement.
He doesn't know what the settlement was.
He doesn't know what happened.
Then he can tell his side of the story.
He could have told it then.
He could have told his side of the story.
I would have probably...
Okay, hi, I'm Herman Cain, and in a couple of weeks, the Politico is going to run a story of a couple of women who are going to say I sexually harassed them.
No.
No, he should have done it way back when he announced his candidacy.
That's when you put out a press release.
That's when you started.
I'm running for president.
I'm Herman Kane.
I got a 999 plan.
And by the way, I'm going to be accused of sexual harassment.
Be right.
I don't know.
George W. Bush almost got lost when that stupid drunk driving thing came out in October.
Yeah, he should have disclosed it.
I forgot October's surprises.
They got it came out now, as far as I'm concerned.
Okay, well.
See, you ought to be happy about it the way it's all eventuated here.
You ought to be happy about it.
Kane took himself out in the nick of time.
Rush, I get it.
I get you, men, defending this.
I'm not defending him.
You heard that sneak attack at the end there from Kathy and Irvine, and I, you're defending him.
I'm not defending him.
I'm defending everybody against the media.
Which I have explained in great detail on several occasions.
Yeah, Kathy, you should have disclosed at the beginning of your call that you've been against Herman Kane all along.
George Bush should have disclosed the DWI.
You know what else?
George W. Bush should have disclosed that he was AWOL, even though he wasn't.
Right?
Where does this stuff stop?
We have soundbites from this babe, the BioLick.
You want to hear them?
Because, well, she says this happened 14 years ago.
She doesn't want to sue.
It happened 14 years ago.
She doesn't, he has no plans to file a lawsuit, so Allred is doing this for the team, Team DNC.
Okay, well, here's Bialik.
And this afternoon is in New York City with Gloria Ulrid, the happily groped.
Sharon Bialik, who claims that Herman Cain sexually harassed her.
Instead of going into the offices, he suddenly reached over and he put his hand on my leg, under my skirt, and reached for my genitals.
He also grabbed my head and brought it towards his crotch.
I was very, very surprised and very shocked.
I said, what are you doing?
You know I have a boyfriend.
This isn't what I came here for.
Mr. Kane said, you want a job, right?
I asked him to stop, and he did.
I asked him to take me back to my hotel, which he did right away.
Okay.
That's soundbite number one.
We've got two more.
Do you want to hear the other two?
Yeah, she was smiling when she was saying all this.
You don't want to hear the other two?
Well, I do.
All right, so here we go.
Here's the next one.
When I returned back to New Jersey, where I was staying, I told my boyfriend Mr. Kane had been very sexually inappropriate with me.
And shortly thereafter, I told another friend of mine who has been a mentor the same thing.
I didn't tell them the details because, quite frankly, I was very embarrassed that Mr. Kane had been sexually inappropriate to me.
Yeah, they don't know the details.
She's going to tell us, but she didn't tell her boyfriend.
She didn't tell her mentor.
She didn't tell anybody else, but she's telling us the details.
Politico.
Can you imagine poor Politico?
138 stories last week.
Zilch.
Gloria Allred brings this babe, this Bialik babe, forward.
And how do these women gravitate to Allred?
Well, now that's an interesting question.
How do these women always end up with Gloria Allred?
I think probably they figure they're going to get television time.
And here's a final soundbite from Sharon Biolik.
I'm coming forward to give a face and a voice to those women who cannot or for whatever reasons do not wish to come forward and on behalf of all women who are sexually harassed in the workplace, but do not come out of fear of retaliation or in public humiliation.
I really didn't want to be here today and wouldn't have been here if it had not been for the three other women who have alleged sexual harassment against Mr. Kane.
I want you, Mr. Kane, to come clean.
Just admit what you did.
Admit you were inappropriate to people.
America's in a horrible turmoil, as we all know.
We need a leader who can set an example which exemplifies the standards of a good person and moral character.
And that's you, Mr. Kane, if you'll just come clean.
Is that what she's saying?
So anyway, there you have it.
It's Gloria Allred's client.
Why go to a lawyer if you're not going to sue?
Gloria Allred is not cheap as a lawyer.
Why do that?
All right, Tim in Glenville, Illinois, as we go back to the phones.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Mega Carbonite Ditto's Rush.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah, I just wanted to call about the debate and some of the things that Newt said regarding unemployment.
Right.
My overall impression of the debate that Newton Kane had was that I felt it was I was kind of underwhelmed.
I mean, it just seemed like it was this ideal, they kind of trumpeted up as an ideal Lincoln versus Douglas debate, but then they ended up, I mean, in one sense it was, but it just felt a little too unformal.
And just when you think Lincoln versus Douglas, you think, you know.
Did they seem too friendly with each other as far as you're concerned?
Yeah, too friendly, exactly.
You thought there might be some debate on a particular topic.
Basically just a discussion.
They were just having this.
They weren't really debating anything.
Yeah, it was an informal discussion.
Exactly.
But anyway, but regarding, so that was my overall impression.
It was kind of underwhelming.
But the, oh, Newt Gingrich is talking about unemployment, and everyone says he's a really intelligent man, and he does tend, he gets into the details.
And it seems like I'd rather not hear about ways to fix unemployment.
Like, for example, he wants everyone to be trained before they receive any money.
Or to sign up for training, which, in other words, I'm not sure what that means.
Does that mean you go to a college and sign up for a new change of career?
Or it seems like he's nitpicking.
It seems like Newt Gingrich is trying to micromanage instead of eliminating, he wants to fix it.
Instead of eliminating exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It is a problem that professional politicians have.
Government, even to concern government is a viable entity that should be involved and things.
It's a trap that a lot of otherwise smart people fall into.
You're quite quick to catch that, by the way.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, it's a passion I've had.
I've been through the unemployment program.
I'm a 48-weaker, so I know what it's like to get paid to do nothing.
And I felt guilty about it.
I felt guilty about being on it.
And I don't like the program.
I just think it should not exist.
I could have gotten a job, but I took the unemployment and for 48 weeks, I was living it up.
Well, speaking of that, I have a story here from the official unemployment writer for the Associated Press, state-controlled, Christopher Rugaber.
Most of the unemployed no longer receive benefits is the headline of this story.
The jobs crisis has left so many people out of work for so long that most of America's unemployed are no longer receiving unemployment benefits.
Early last year, 75% were receiving checks.
That figure is now down to 48%, a shift that points to a growing crisis of long-term unemployment.
Nearly one-third of America's 14 million unemployed have had no job for a year or more.
Isn't this something that was unprecedented until the era of Obama?
All these unemployment stats are worse than they've ever been under Obama.
And don't get the wrong idea here, though, folks.
Mr. Rugaber of the AP is not delivering a testimony about how Obama has destroyed the economy.
What he's doing is using the AP to push for the extension of unemployment benefits for the 10th time.
That's why AP ran this story.
Most of the unemployed are no longer receiving benefits.
Oh, no.
How can a country as rich and prosperous as the U.S. be so cruel and mean-spirited?
And so the point here is to extend unemployment benefits.
That's what the AP is doing.
Fully in line with the state-controlled media.
Tim, thanks for the call.
I appreciate it.
We must take a brief time out and we'll continue in mere moments.
Back before you know it.
Back to the phone as we go to Long Valley, New Jersey.
This is Frank.
Frank, welcome to EIB Network.
Great to have you here.
Welcome, Rush.
I think Gloria should have looked at case law before she took this case on, because Flowers versus Clinton was one on summary judgment, where Clinton's attorney said, take all the facts as being true, that yes, he did ask her up to his room.
Yes, he did pull down his pants and ask for oral sex.
She said no.
He pulled up his pants and he allowed her to leave.
And it sounds like in the Kane case, if this is all true, and that was ruled not sexual harassment by a judge.
And as you remember, Dershowitz and everyone else hailed that as a victory.
Because when the woman said stop, he stopped, pulled his pants back up.
That's correct.
He won that case on summary judgment.
He did not win that case on anything else.
So I guess right now, it sounds like if Kane did what he did, which I think is wrong, but if he did what he did, it doesn't constitute sexual harassment, according to the Democratic Party and Mr. Clinton.
Well, then there was nothing for him to confess to.
That's correct.
Because he didn't sexually harass anybody because she said stop and he stopped.
She said, take me home, and he took her home.
Exactly what President Clinton did.
He didn't affect her job, so they did not come to do that at the court.
Well, I got a hand attention, that's an interesting recollection out there.
I think you're talking about Paula Jones, not Jennifer Flowers, but six and one half does the other dollar trader park.
That whole thing.
But still, interesting point.
I did notice it.
When we're listening to her Bialik, she said that she told him, What are you doing, Mr. Kane?
I don't want you to do it.
And he stopped.
She said no, and that was it.
No means no.
And no meant no.
And so he was, he was not her boss at the time.
Clinton was not her boss.
Paula Jones, she was unemployed at the time.
So he had no authority over her.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's true, too.
When Herman Kaine drove the babe home, she actually got there.
And she alive to talk about it.
Have you noticed all this stuff happened?
The timeframe of all these allegations is like, well, what?
Summer 1999, 14 years ago?
It's, I don't know.
It's interesting.
I was going to play a soundbite from Jaja Huffington.
I got distracted here by Bialik.
Here is Zhaja.
She was on this week with Christiane Amanpour, who said there's a bit of a national sort of funk, isn't there?
You see the president in front of crumbling bridges that have been crumbling ever since he's been in the White House.
But suddenly we're getting closer to 2012.
So he wants to be seen to be trying to create infrastructure jobs.
But it's all a show.
And the American people sense it, but there is no real effort or will to create a job.
What's going on?
Even Zhaja knows Obama's jobs bills a fraud.
You know, Zhaja has been upset with Obama for a long time.
And I don't really.
There has to be a reason, and we'll ferret it out.
Ted in Gambier, Ohio, welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Well, good to be here, Rush.
Hey, I've been involved with issues two and three for quite a while here in Ohio.
And unfortunately, most of us have a pretty bad feeling about how it's going to turn out and that both of them will probably not pass, which is one of the reasons why the Supreme Court, frankly, should not read too much into the health care freedom amendment if it doesn't pass.
The reason is, is these odd-year elections tend to be extremely lightly, have very light turnout.
And the union vote, the SB5 vote, has really got the union folks very, very agitated.
And a lot of us really, unfortunately, think that their turnout is going to be unusually large.
So it's going to be really kind of a skewed electorate, which then the healthcare freedom amendment, which has nothing to do with the SB5.
Why is that?
Why is the opposition side here not revved?
The opposition side here is revved, but we're doing what I can.
The big part of the problem is, and this is in regards to both issues, is that the union folks are so well organized and so well funded.
But they always are, and they don't win every time.
Correct.
I understand that.
But, like, for instance, the health care freedom amendment, we've been working at getting that on the ballot.
It took us a year and a half.
I mean, it's hard for a grassroots organization that's trying to build itself up to get, you know, 100,000-plus signatures, whereas the union folks, all they do is they snap their fingers in a couple of weeks.
They got it done.
Well, we'll see.
You're on the ground.
You obviously have a better feel for it than do I. I'm a little bit more optimistic than you are, but we'll have to just wait and see.
To me, they're no-brainers, regardless, off-year, on-year.
But again, you're much closer to it than I.
I got to run because of time.
Thanks much for the call.
Be right back.
Okay, folks, remember, Bialik is from Chicago.
She was not employed by the Restaurant Association when this happened.
There are no witnesses.
She told nobody at the time that it happened, and he is denying it.
