Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Hi, folks.
How are you?
Greetings and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network.
They cleaned out Zucati Park.
Well, they tried to clean out Zakati Park.
The cops went in there and they told everybody to get out.
They're just going to clean the place.
You can come back after we clean it up.
But when you come back, you can't bring any tents or anything to stay overnight in that corner.
And then they went out and found a judge.
Oh, no, you can't do that, Mr. Mayor.
Those people want to go back.
They can go back.
You can't establish rules on these people after they're there.
You have to have these rules for them before they get there, or you can't have these rules at all.
This judge, by the way, God don't know.
Jeez, I want a way to start the program.
This judge, his name is Lucy Billings.
She signed the Occupy Wall Street, or she's an ACLU veteran.
She was found for this case by the National Lawyers Guild, which is the same communist front group that has represented all the terrorists at Club Gitmo or Occupy Gitmo, whatever it's called.
I got a picture of her here.
And now the hearing on the she apparently now has been moved off the case.
Within hours, she was off the case as court administrators prepared to randomly choose a new judge and excluded Billings' name from the list of candidates.
Judge Billings taken off the Occupy Wall Street case in New York City.
Now, this is, by the way, is exactly what ought to happen to Elena Kagan at the Supreme Court with Obamacare.
They ought to get her off of that case.
She's been, there's emails, she's been found to be cheering the decision in an email or two to Lawrence Tribe, who's the Supreme Court nominee that never was.
The brightest guy never to end up on the Supreme Court.
The guy that hang around, he's a law professor at Harvard.
He hinted, he let it be known year after year after year that he wanted to be picked, but he's never been picked to be on the Supreme Court.
But he had a very close relationship with Elena Kagan, who was on the court for exactly this reason.
In case the case ever got to the Supreme Court, she is there to provide a vote for the constitutionality of Obamacare.
That's why she's there.
So anyway, the cops went in there to Zuccotti Park.
What they found are thinking of lighting the Empire State Building brown for a week in honor of what they found in there at Zakati Park.
Just amazing what has been discovered.
You realize, folks, that there's a bigger fine for letting your dog poop on the street in New York than there is for humans.
It's an absolute, it's a pigsty in there.
This is precisely what everybody knew.
And this is the kind of people that make up this group.
And Mayor Bloomberg, even Mayor Bloom, finally had enough because he realized that what was happening down there was this whole thing was a magnet for people who didn't work, who wanted to get in on all kinds of freebies and everything.
So that's where we stand.
Let's go to the audio soundbites.
Bloomberg this morning at City Hall.
He held a press conference to discuss the clearing out of Zakati Park.
This action was taken at this time of the day to reduce the risk of confrontation in the park and to minimize destruction to the surrounding neighborhood.
Protesters were asked to temporarily leave the park while this occurred and were told that they would be free to return to the park once Brookfield finished cleaning.
Our intention was to reopen the park and to let people go in and express their First Amendment rights to protest or their First Amendment rights to just peacefully enjoy the park and say nothing.
Yeah, right.
So that's that was this morning from Mayor Doomberg.
The story on this, let's see, now I've got two of them.
This is NBC New York, Eyeball News 5.
Police in riot gear clear Occupy Wall Street, but a judge, Lucy Billings, overturned the decision.
For those of you, I keep hearing this too, there are a number of Republicans starting to get fed up with the Republican nomination process.
And for those of you who are thinking of staying home on election day, if your guy doesn't get the nomination, and don't do it, this judge in New York, this Lucy Billings, is precisely why we need liberalism defeated every opportunity there is to defeat it.
When the liberals don't get what they want by way of the legislature or the Congress, they just turn to a judge that they've appointed who will write a law.
That's what this judge has done, Lucy Billings.
And she's basically trying to say the mayor doesn't have any right to shut this park down, doesn't have the right to enforce these rules because the rules were made after the protesters showed up.
So the mayor calls it an intolerable situation, finally, belatedly taking action, taking action to clear the place out.
And a judge grants a restraining order prohibiting the city from its enforcement plan.
The judge granted a temporary restraining order prohibiting the city from enforcing the rules of the plaza, like a ban on tents and tarps.
She said the rules were published after the occupation began.
And you can't do that.
If the rules were changed, then you can't do that.
This babe spent 25 years, not a babe, by the way.
She spent 25 years as a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union.
She's an ACLU lawyer.
She is this lawyer founder of the National Lawyers Guild.
It's a wacko leftist front group that did represent lots of the terrorists at Club Gitmo.
CNBC reports that the injunction prevents the city from enforcing park rules, which were published after the protest began.
So much for the rule of law.
But when you have liberal judges like this, this is the point.
Who cares about the rule of law?
They will make it up to suit themselves and handle things as they would like.
Here's a story.
We've got a couple lighthearted things to kick off here with despite the update on it.
Yeah, we're going to get to the Herman Kane stuff, sir.
I can't do it all here in the first 15 minutes of the program.
Oh, the web's gone viral with Herman Kane showed up at the newspaper, the Journal Sentinel, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
He had an editorial board meeting.
They were running videotape on it.
They asked him about Libya.
He had an 11-second pause before he answered the question.
When he finally answered, he said everything he's always said about Libya.
But you only get 10 seconds on a game show.
He took 11 seconds.
And they're now trying to say, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
He doesn't know about Libya.
He doesn't know about collective bargaining rights for state and federal union employees, basically trying to make the case here that Kane's a blithering idiot and stupid and all of that.
The web has gone viral with these two videos.
We have the audio of both, and we'll let you hear it as the program unfolds and you can decide what you think.
Remember, however, before we get to all that, just some stuff I want to get out of the way first here.
It was, oh, speaking, I don't know how to handle this.
I have a story here from salon.com.
I really don't know how to handle this.
O'Reilly book about Lincoln killing banned from Ford's Theater.
Bill O'Reilly, who's looking out for us, has a book.
What's it called?
It's about the Lincoln assassination.
And it's National Park Service says that it's riddled with factual errors.
A reviewer for the official National Park Service bookstore at Ford's Theater has recommended that the book about the Lincoln assassination not be sold there because, quote, because of the lack of documentation and the factual errors within the publication, unquote.
You have any of the stories out there, salon.com.
I have read the book, so I don't know if it's factually correct or not, but they're not going to sell it at Ford's.
Do you know if O'Reilly's selling little trinkets that go along like Lincoln beer chiller holders and stuff?
Because sales of that could be infected here.
I don't know.
That's just what they say.
And we'll get Sandusky out there.
Sandusky did an interview.
The Penn State coach did an interview with Bob Costas last night on the interview with Bob Costas on Rock Center last night.
I'm trying to figure out why this lawyer would let this guy do this.
Why would the, and the lawyer said, well, you know, we've talked to some of these kids.
We think we've got a number of these kids that come forward saying nothing like this ever happened.
But the questions that Sandusky answers, did you, Bates?
Are you a pedophile?
No, but, yeah, well, I should, you know, maybe I shouldn't have showered with the boys.
Maybe I should have.
I did touch him on the legs.
Yeah, but it wasn't sexual.
None of that.
All this is false.
What?
Does it remind me of anything?
Oh, oh.
No, frankly, I had not thought of Michael Jackson in this context, but you do have a point.
They asked Michael Jackson about the kids sleeping over in the bed, but I didn't touch him.
You know, kid was right next to me in the bed, but I just wanted to give him a nice home.
Good night's sleep.
I didn't touch him.
Sandusky said, yeah, we turned the showers and I'm going to go scooting around in there and towel popping and so, but I don't know.
I touch him on the legs, but no, there was nothing in this actual.
If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have taken showers with him.
And Cost says, that's it?
Yeah, that's it.
All these charges are false, and I can't wait for my lawyer to go out and find the evidence, prove my innocence here.
Why?
The only thing I can think of to do this is if you think you want to have a shot at influencing potential jurors who might appear, might be impaneled down the road in some criminal or civil case.
Very odd because the guy did not help himself at all, comes off as just yucky and slimy throughout the whole interview.
We have that too, if you haven't heard it, but that's gone viral as well.
So we're loaded for bear out there today, folks.
We got all kinds of, we got a trick.
The Democrats are trying to play a trick on the super committee by taking the savings from all the money that we're spending on the wars that we didn't expect to spend.
And we're now going to save that money by spending on other things.
It's the money that we don't have that we're spending on wars would be saved and spent on other things.
That's the Democrat plan here, the super committee to avoid $500 billion in Medicare cuts and defense cuts.
So we're going to take money that we don't have that we're spending on the wars and then spend it on other things.
And it appears from one source that I looked at today that the Republicans might go along with this.
But it's smoke and mirrors to the max, taking money that we don't have, that we're spending on the wars.
The theory is, yeah, well, these wars have gone on much longer than anybody thought.
So we're going to stop those wars and then we're going to take that money that would otherwise have been spent and we'll spend that on other things.
And we don't have the money we're spending on the wars, period.
We're in hock.
So it's a smoke and mirrors trick typical of Washington where there won't be any cuts.
They'll just reallocate the money that we don't have that we're spending on wars that will mythically now end and not need the money.
They'll spend those on other things, that money on other things.
It's just convoluted as it can be.
And certain places, if you look in the media, the economy is now in an expansion.
Yeah, the economy is expanding.
And Obama's policies finally kicking in.
Finally, folks, they're taking off out there.
The economy, Obama prospects brighten as the economic recovery moves to expansion.
That's from Bloomberg News.
That's the new narrative.
Even with 9% unemployment, that's the new normal.
9% unemployment through next year, the year after that, 9%, 9.1%.
But we've now officially moved into an expansion.
It's a new narrative.
Isn't that convenient?
Very timely, extremely timely.
And now we've got people reacting, Huffing and Puffington Post reacting to my theory about Chelsea Clinton yesterday.
Remember what this is?
Chelsea Clinton hired by NBC News.
Oh, you've got to hear.
You've got to hear this.
Here it is.
Grab Soundbite 15.
Now, Chelsea Clinton has never done an interview.
And during the campaign, she refused to do an interview.
Her mother's campaign, she's not done it.
She hates the media.
When she'd been on a campaign plane, she won't talk to the media.
She'd been hired by the media.
Now, the media at the New York Times, Washington Post, they're all ticked off about this.
I've got the story.
They're very, very upset about it.
But Brian Williams, she's been hired, NBC.
She's going to appear on an ongoing feature segment on the NBC Nightly News.
As I said yesterday, how does Luke Russert feel about this?
Because no matter how he feels, what can he say?
So last night during Piers Morgan tonight on CNN, the host of Rock Center, Brian Williams, was the guest.
Piers Morgan said, I think she'd be terrific.
This is what Chelsea.
And for all the reasons that you just said, it's an inspired appointment.
But there will be journalistic critics who say this is just further evidence of news networks dumbing down.
It's the celebrification, if you like, of news, conventional news journalism.
What would you say to that, Mr. Williams?
I can't wait to hear her voice and her viewpoint.
And I would remind everybody that there was much kerfuffle about Tim Russert's resume.
Oh, my goodness, he worked for a couple elected Democrats.
And what that nicely left out was Tim Russert's talent and intellect and ability to call them down the middle.
What is he remembered for, and what do people miss about him?
His decency, his humanity, and his incredible ability to call them down the middle.
So I would urge everyone to let's sit back and watch some of Chelsea Clinton's work on the air.
More on this when we get back, but this is unbelievable.
It's unbelievable.
Okay, I got a note during the break that O'Reilly's book is now back on sale at the Ford's Theater bookstore.
And he explained all this last night.
And that means that the Lincoln Beer Chiller holders are still available.
Okay, Brian Williams.
I can't wait to hear Chelsea's voice and her viewpoint.
Viewpoint?
I didn't think, as a down-the-middle expert journalist, she was supposed to have a viewpoint.
Do you realize, folks, Howard Kosell talked about this in the realm of sports, the junkocracy.
He spoke about all the struggling, hard-working sportscasters, wannabes working in the small markets, trying to work their way up to the top of the ladder, only to find that jocks, when they retired with no broadcast experience whatsoever, were put in those positions.
And here we have Brian Williams.
You mean how many journalists are out there?
They've followed all the rules.
They've been working hard to try to destroy somebody in the market they live.
That's number one.
You do a profile, so they destroy them or put them out of business or what have you.
Write a profile, just ruins them.
People working hard get hired and then they go hire somebody who's never done it before at the highest level.
The NBC Nightly News.
Somebody has never granted an interview.
They don't know what she's they've never heard her voice.
That's why Brian Wood.
I can't wait to hear her voice.
Nobody's ever heard it.
She's never granted an interview.
I told you yesterday what this is all about.
This is simply the communications arm of the Democrat Party, which is NBC and the media, preparing Chelsea to get her some television experience.
You need television to get anywhere in politics.
You have to be good on television to get anywhere.
And this is simply the preparatory period for Chelsea Clinton to eventually run for the Senate in New York at some point or whatever state that they think she can move to and win that will allow that, like New York does.
That's clearly what's happening here.
We got much more.
We'll be right back.
I know Chelsea Clinton has been openly hostile to the media.
They've asked her questions when they've gotten closer.
None of your business has been her answer.
And now she's hired, and poor old Brian Williams is out there.
He made it sound like she's the next Tim Russert.
And how does that make Luke Russert feel?
How Luke Russert's got to be, he's been hit twice now.
Yesterday, when he announced Chelsea's being hired for the nightly news, Luke stuck over at MSNBC.
And now, last night, Brian Williams compares Chelsea to his dad.
Yeah, just right down the middle.
Remember, that's how the media reacted when I got hired at ESPN.
Remember that?
They were all excited.
Oh, yeah, happy to bring somebody in here who's not part of our fraternity.
That's not at all how they reacted.
And let's see.
Chelsea Clinton may have officially joined the media on Monday, but several journalists who cover the 2008 election remain skeptical about her entering their ranks.
New York Times Jody Cantor tweeted the supreme irony of Chelsea Clinton becoming an NBC reporter.
I'm pretty sure she never granted an interview.
Here's another one.
This is somebody named Chozik, New York Times Amy Chozik, covered the 2008 election for the Wall Street Journal.
Said, not only did Chelsea refuse to give interviews, but seemed to absolutely hate us on the Clinton campaign plane.
Clinton disdained reporters.
Politico's Ken Vogel tweeted.
Clinton gave reporters a total cold shoulder during the previous election cycle.
Glenn Thrush echoed his political colleagues' experience on Twitter.
Said in 08, Chelsea Clinton in New Hampshire told me, sorry, I don't talk to the media.
I said, but you're all grown up now.
Now she is the media.
New York Times was given a heads up about Clinton being hired as a special correspondent in advance of the press release.
She declined to comment for the paper's article about her.
The lack of an interview didn't go unnoticed.
Chelsea Clinton has loathed the news media for most of her life, said the Times Don Van Neva.
So it makes sense she's decided to join us and refused to be interviewed.
So you go through the various levels of media, Washington Post, the New York Times, and they're not happy about this.
Now, people NBC are not going to speak up, of course.
And as we just had a drive-by caller, what about poor old Amy Carter?
Why didn't we cut her break?
That's because Amy didn't have political perspirations beyond where she was.
Well, can you imagine if you imagine Brian Williams, if one of the Bush twins, one of George W. Bush's daughters have been hired?
One of George W. Bush's daughters is a correspondent on a Today Show?
Really, I didn't know that.
And they haven't undermined her yet?
Well, she's not there anymore.
She's not there.
Okay, well, they haven't made a big deal out of it.
That is interesting.
But at any rate, this is very obvious what this is, folks.
And because there has been so much outrage at my pointing it out, the proof is in the pudding.
Very simple.
You got to get experience on television.
You have to learn how to use TV if you're going to do anything in politics of a substantial nature.
Plus, it's Obamaville out there.
It's tough.
Chelsea, what's her degree in history or makeup?
Something or other.
I mean, it's tough to get a job out there.
So the Clintons have called in a marker, but she doesn't want to sit around and be the midwife for Huma's baby all day long.
So you got to get busy and have a career out there.
The Clintons have called in a marker.
And this is going to set her up, getting TV experience, set her up for an eventual political career.
There's no question in my mind what this is all about.
Since we're in order here on the audio soundbites, let's just hear the next who, Huma?
Chelsea.
I don't know if Chelsea, I don't know if Chelsea, I have no idea if Chelsea is still married or not.
Huma is.
Chelsea worked for hedge fund for a while.
Public Health is her degree.
I was just joking about being in makeup.
She's got a degree in public.
She worked for a hedge fund for a while.
Yeah, she worked for a hit.
And they are evil.
Hedge funds are evil, except when they're run by Democrats.
And Chelsea's husband worked at Goldman.
I haven't heard that they're not still married.
I think they are.
And Huma's still married a wiener.
Huma is pregnant.
Now, Chelsea doesn't want to be a nanny all day long.
So move out, get into the big world.
NBC Nightly News, Rock Center, for a while.
Get good on television if you can.
Jury's still out on that.
They'll make a decision.
If she does well, bam, it's onto elective office.
Okay, here we have, because I'm just going to stay in order on the soundbite roster.
Here's Sandusky with Bob Costas.
We're at 16, 17, and 18.
It's last night on Rock Center.
What I bet that Chelsea Clinton's first gig will be to moderate the next Republican debate that appears on NBC.
Just kidding.
So Costas says, Mr. Sandusky is a 40-count indictment.
The grand jury report contains specific detail.
There are multiple accusers, multiple eyewitnesses to various aspects of the abuse.
A reasonable person says where there's this much smoke, there must be plenty of fire.
What do you say?
I say that I am innocent of those charges.
Innocent?
Completely innocent and falsely accused in every aspect?
Well, I could say that, you know, I have done some of those things.
I have horsed around with kids.
I have showered after workouts.
I have hugged them and I have touched their leg without intent of sexual contact.
So I have showered with them and I have touched their leg without intent of sexual contact.
Costas says, well, what are you willing to concede that you've done that was wrong and you wish that you had not done it?
Well, in retrospect, I shouldn't have showered with those kids.
That's it?
Yeah, well, that's what hits me the most.
Are you a pedophile?
No.
Are you sexually attracted to young boys, to underage boys?
Am I sexually attracted to underage boys?
Sexually attracted?
You know, I enjoy young people.
I love to be around them.
But no, I'm not sexually attracted to young boys.
Why would a lawyer let the guy go out and do that?
That is incredible.
Why would the lawyer let the go?
I don't know.
I just, oh, this is this is one more Costas.
How could somebody think they saw something extreme, as extreme and shocking as that when it hadn't occurred?
What would possibly be their motivation to fabricate it?
You'd have to ask them.
It seems that if all of these accusations are false, you are the unluckiest and most persecuted man that any of us has ever heard about.
I don't know what you want me to say.
I don't think these have been the best days of my life.
Jerry Sandusky, Penn State, denying it all.
Well, not denying it all.
He's denying all the sex stuff.
He's not denying showering and touching their legs and horsing around after workouts.
But he's denying all the sexual contact.
Hasn't done it.
Yeah, right.
It was David Schuster, by the way, who accused the Clintons of pimping out their daughter.
Remember that David Schuster?
It was canned.
He was fired.
They were suspended and let go.
And now he's over there working with Alberman over at Gore's Network.
And they've got an audience of 18,000, by the way.
They're just at an asterisk level in terms of ratings.
18,000 people.
We have more.
Yeah, that's another question.
The National Action Network, I mean, there's a lot of questions.
Jesse Jackson, Sharpton.
How come Chelsea Clinton starts at the top?
NBC Nightly News.
Sharpton is over on the cable side.
See how this works?
Special privileged treatment for the children of the rich and powerful.
She gets the network gig on the big news show and the big prime-time, whatever you call Rock Center kind of show that is.
And poor Reverend Al's over there at 6 o'clock on the cable network.
Resist we much.
I've been sitting here, folks, thinking about Chelsea Clinton at NBC News.
And there's one thing we have to grant as a concession.
It's totally understandable that Chelsea Clinton would refuse an intern position.
And once you refuse the intern position, there's nowhere to go but to the top.
And that's where she's starting.
Ian, you throw it.
You refuse the intern position and you go right to the head of the class.
You go right to the top.
Get right up there.
And because she knows how risky it could be, you know, to set the interns up.
You remember at Port St. Lucie, a woman goes in, wants some chicken McNuggets.
They don't have any.
She calls 911.
Okay, Port St. Lucie, you are off the hook because now we go to Janesville, Wisconsin.
Shania Edgel arrived early yesterday morning at a McDonald's in Janesville, Wisconsin.
She was expecting to order from the fast food joints' regular menu, Big Macs, French fries, McNuggets, quarter pounders, except it was 3 a.m.
The restaurant had switched over to its breakfast menu, Egg McMuffins, hash browns, hotcakes, and so forth.
This made her mad.
This enraged Shania Edgil.
According to Janesville Police Department officers, she wanted a cheeseburger.
So the 22-year-old turned on her boyfriend, biting him on the arm and tearing off his shirt.
He's 40 years old, Daryl Page.
He told the cops that Edgel wanted a burger for McDonald's.
They drove to the restaurant.
They discovered at the drive-through that they were only serving breakfast.
They'd stopped serving hamburgers.
Shania Edgel got upset.
She didn't want breakfast.
She only wanted a cheeseburger.
After they drove away, she changed her mind.
She told Paige to return to McDonald's so she could get breakfast.
At this point, Edgil, Shania Edgel, allegedly began striking Paige in the face and biting his right arm.
Paige told the cops that when he pulled his car over during the assault before they got back to McDonald's, that Shania Edgel got out of the car and climbed on the hood to keep him from driving away.
During police questioning, Edgil confirmed she became upset after discovering McDonald's had switched over to the breakfast menu.
She wanted to order food off the regular menu.
She reported freaking out over this, adding that Paige was trying to calm her down over the matter of the unavailable cheeseburgers.
When a cop asked why he had spotted her on the car's roof, Edgil answered, because I was acting crazy.
After dismounting the vehicle, Edgil was collared for disorderly conduct.
We got her mug shot here.
She's being held in a Rock County jail in lieu of a $150 bond.
That means she can't come up with $15.
She is scheduled for a court appearance later this afternoon.
All because she couldn't get a cheeseburger.
Now, I don't know.
No, wait a minute.
See, if school, if she were in Memphis, what would the odds have been?
3 in the morning, would the school have still been open for dinner?
I don't know.
I guess nobody knows yet.
But this woman sounds like an escapee from Occupy someplace.
Any of the Occupies.
And this mug shot, I mean, she really ticked off.
I mean, even in the mug shot here, she's ticked off.
And she looks like she's crying.
I don't know if there's some behavior I just can't relate to.
Okay, so at 3 o'clock in the morning on a cheeseburger, McDonald's doesn't have it, so you bite your boyfriend's arm.
And you get on the hood of the car, and you want to go back to the restaurant and raise hell there.
In a related story, Congress is fighting to keep pizza and french fries on school lunch lines, picking apart an Obama regime proposal to make school lunches healthier.
A spending bill released late in Monday would unravel screw-a-lunch standards proposed by the Agriculture Department earlier this year, forcing the USDA to pull back and attempt to limit potatoes on the punchline, delaying limits on sodium and delaying a requirement to boost whole grains.
The spending bill will also allow tomato paste on pizzas to be counted as a vegetable as it is now.
Do you believe this?
That with all that's going on, this is the stuff occupying everybody's minds.
And you got Michelle Obama over in Hawaii urging people to eat arugula with steak.
That makes steak okay.
But all of these people butting in with what they think your kids ought to eat and where.
Now, what they're trying to say here in this story, I guarantee I haven't read the whole thing because I've got limited time here.
But here's a quote from Amy Dawson Taggart from some interest group about this.
We are outraged that Congress is seriously considering language that would effectively categorize pizza as a vegetable in the school lunch program.
It doesn't take an advanced degree in nutrition to call this a national disgrace.
I'll tell you what they're setting up here.
And you might be saying, Rush, why are you talking about it?
I'll tell you what's going to happen.
We've been through this with Republicans and school lunches.
Now, you take a look.
Congress pushes back on healthier school lunches.
By the way, no word here on school dinner.
Congress fighting to keep pizza and french fries.
means Republicans fighting to keep pizza and french fries on school lunch lines on the menu.
I'm going to tell you what's being set up here.
Republicans want to continue to feed children junk food so that they will continue to be obese.
Republicans want dirty air, clean water, dirty water, poison this and poison that.
Now Republicans want your kids fat and obese and eating junk in schools.
That's what's being set up here.
Holy cow.
Folks, this is from the Daily, which is an iPad news publication of the News Corporation.
The defense attorney for Sandusky impregnated a teenager and later married her.
According to documents filed with the Center County Courthouse, Amendola served as the attorney for a woman September 3rd, 1996, just weeks before her 17th birthday and married her.
