Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
Time for the award-winning thrill-packed, ever-exciting.
Increasingly popular, growing by leaps and bounds.
Rush Limbo program.
Show prep for the rest of the media.
Great to have you here, folks.
And looking forward to chatting with you on the phones.
The telephone number.
If you want to be on the program 800-282-2882, the email address, El Rushboard, EIB net.com.
Ladies and gentlemen, a public service announcement here first.
As you know, the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial is due.
I mean, they're still not through with it, but the verdict is due rather soon.
And a number of people.
In fact, uh, Mike, move forward.
Grab audio soundbite number number six.
They're very, very concerned in in Florida about about riots.
In fact, even here, CNN has the um has a story.
Florida authorities have a message as the verdict in the Zimmerman trial looms.
Raise your voice, fine, but not your hands.
And then three paragraphs later, listen to this.
Zimmerman is a white Hispanic who is on is the first white Hispanic in the history of the country.
And he was so named by the New York Times.
So desirous are they of promoting racial division.
They've got to call this poor guy white Hispanic.
And here is CNN echoing it.
Now everybody involved here is very, very hopeful that there are riots.
There are not riots.
And so they're putting out PSAs and everything.
Please don't riot.
It's like saying don't think pink.
What are you thinking?
Grab the audio soundbite.
We have a PSA from Broward County.
Broward County Sheriff's Office, the Sheriff Scott Israel released a new PSA entitled Raise Your Voice, not Your Hands, meant to encourage vi uh discourage violence after the Zimmerman verdict.
And in the PSA, you'll hear a bunch of voices.
Here we go.
Raise your voice.
And not your hands.
We need to stand together as one.
No cuffs, no guns.
Let's give violence a rest because we can easily end up arresting.
I know your patience will be tested, but law enforcement has it back.
Let's backed up and sue about the act up and deputies are with us, so no need to act up.
Let it roll off your shoulders, it's water off your back.
Don't lack composure because in one instance it could be over.
So let's make the choice to raise your voice and not hands.
I'm sure Scott Israel and Lauren Forschman does have your back.
What in the name of Sam Hill do they think is going to happen?
I mean, when this by this time this is all over, everybody's going to have their dust up.
What do they think they're doing with this?
So my I have I have a PSA.
Because I I want to help here.
We here at the EIB Network always try to participate in solutions, not just pointing out the problems.
So obviously we carry a lot of weight here.
I mean, a big influence.
This program is documented to have that.
People of Florida.
People of Florida, people of the United States, whatever you do, please do not riot.
Just pretend that your team just won the NBA championship or the Super Bowl.
Now wait a minute, scratch that last part.
Just don't riot.
What in the world do they think?
Oh, I just saw a picture on TV.
I gotta tell you this.
From the Hill.com.
Democrats pitch a national park on the moon.
Two House Democrats have proposed legislation that would establish a national historical park on the surface of the moon to mark where the Apollo missions landed between 1969 and 1972.
I also want to offer a suggestion here that we name the first public toilet on the park on the moon after Sheila Jackson Lee.
The Congress Bay Frontier.
Well, remember, there were they were all at NASA down there in Houston, and the Mars rover was tooling around, and she said, Is it gonna go over to where the astronauts planted the flag?
And everybody's that was the moon.
Astronauts haven't been to Mars.
Oh, yes, oh, okay.
So in honor of her, let's just name the first rest area at this National Park on the Moon after Sheila Jackson Lee.
Oh, by the way, H.R., you are you listening?
Call the uh call the five people and tell them I'll do it.
I just checked with Brian's gonna be.
So we'll so I'm gonna be on the five this afternoon.
Just via telephone only, not camera.
Um but they asked yesterday, I I got an email from them at two minutes till five o'clock.
I saw the email about 20 minutes after five.
I couldn't obviously do it.
Yes, it's okay if you listen.
I got if they bring up Egypt, I'll talk about Egypt.
Yes, it's okay to talk about Fox this afternoon.
But I I I I I told him, I told him I would you know that is one of the one of the things they want to talk about.
You know, what w this all drummed up controversy of my supposedly telling people not to watch Fox.
Speaking of which, grab what was that?
Yeah, I know it was all over the place.
Well, it started in political, then it got it got picked up in Tel Aviv.
I mean, it was everywhere.
You know, I've told people do not watch NBC, do not watch MSNBC, and that's never made the news.
I told people, I told this one caller, don't listen to these wacko liberals on this show on the network.
Just they're getting and that became limbaugh urging people to avoid Fox.
In line of this, let's go last night on Cavuto on Fox Business Network.
Cavuto had his show there, and uh he had Jedediah Mylan, and this Julie Rodginski, who I I I'm sorry, I don't know who she is, but she was on there.
That that's one of the names the caller mentioned that sent him into orbit.
So anyway, now listen to how everything gets where do you hear what Cavuto tells her that that I said?
Listen.
It's going unfortunately in the way that none of my colleagues here want it to go, but it's gonna be the law.
They're gonna work to improve it and tweak it.
But it's gonna be the law of the land.
You can try to defund it, it's not gonna happen.
No, I'm not surprised by Rush Limbaugh hates you.
Rush, stop trashing me.
All right.
That was apparently Julie Roginski there, and there's Cavuto saying, Well, I'm not surprised by Rush hates you.
I don't know who she is.
I don't know how I could possibly hate her.
I don't know who she is.
But see, here's Cavuto.
Supposedly a friend.
No wonder Rush hates you.
What what what what where did that come from?
Man, folks, this is why I tell you.
You you've got to be so so careful watching any media, listening to any media.
It's it's just it's astounding.
Dustin Hoffman was in an interview.
I mean we just found this um recently, but it was it took place in 2012.
He was interviewed, the American Film Institute.
You know, he played a woman in the movie Tootsie.
Did you see that movie?
Did you like it?
Yeah.
You know, he had to take a steam shower every day to shave uh in order to carry off this.
So he said anyway.
You ever taken a steam shower?
Yeah, but if you ever shaved in there, I mean it's the close it is a closest shave you'll ever get.
I know you shave your legs, and I would you you should try it.
It's the closest shave.
Well, I know you're one of these buff guys that do that.
Oh, you don't, okay.
Well, then your face, whatever, you shave your face now.
I'm telling you, this is the closest, you don't need any uh shaving cream or anything.
Anyway, it's Dustin Hoffman.
And he starts getting choked up in this in this interview because he was brainwashed all of his life to only be attracted to beautiful women.
He has a crying societal shame.
And he's he's talking about all of the undoubtedly wonderful women he never met because he wasn't interested because they weren't attractive.
Now, is this guy campaigning for some Feminazi award or what?
Here's here's what he said.
I know that if I met myself at a party, I would never talk to that character because she doesn't fulfill physically the demands that we're brought up to think we have women have to have in order for us to ask them out.
There's a too many interesting women I have I have.
I have not had the experience to know in this life because I have been brainwashed out.
And that was never a comedy for me.
He's crying, folks.
He is uh in tears there over the uh I guess unattractive women he never met.
How does he know they're interesting if you never met them?
He said, There's uh too many interesting women I have not had the experience to know in this life because I was brainwashed to be attracted to beautiful women.
How does he know if they're interesting?
He never met him.
I know there's still plenty of time.
I mean, the uglo Americans are there actually a almost a protected class now.
You can find one.
Well, I t what he's saying, he wouldn't even talk to them because he was brainwashed.
It's see, it's a criticism of our culture that we um we only men are trained to only be interested in women who are attractive.
Here's can we dispel this?
You know, folks, it takes all kinds.
Have you ever been?
See, how do I do this?
Um you ever been walking down the street and you see a couple and you can't believe it?
That happens all the time, doesn't it?
You just you can't believe it.
It goes both ways.
It goes, but but everybody is attractive to somebody.
It just is.
I mean, I once worked with a guy who thought he was cool, wore two-toned green leisure suits that he bought at Kmart.
And he thought he was the hippest guy who's in Kansas City.
And this guy had a bevy of girlfriends that are from the trainer parks, but they thought this guy was, and he he thought, you know, they were the end of the world, too.
There's no explaining it.
So I don't know what Hoffman's all concerned about there.
Uh moving on, uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh, this is not good news.
Well, it may not be bad news, actually.
New York's Burnt Hills Balston Lake Scrual District has become the latest casually in First Lady Muchell Obama's preferred lunch plan.
They've dropped the menu that she suggested after too many students complained of being hungry.
The uh food service manager, Nikki Boehm, and her staff worked hard to implement the new Moochel Obama menu.
But there were just too many problems and too many foods that the students didn't like and wouldn't buy, said the assistant superintendent Chris Abdu about the national screw a lunch program in a statement reported by some organization.
Now we're told that Muchello Bama is a nutritional expert.
We're told that Barack Obama's an expert in everything.
He knows more about the coal business and the people in it.
He knows more about health care than the doctors and hospitals, anybody else in it.
He knows more about the oil business, he knows more about anything in anybody.
And she, as the mother of two and uh a woman who has a garden, knows food.
Apparently, and knows food for you and your kids too.
She's a nutritional expert.
So do something, so she created the school lunch program, and it ended up leaving kids hungry.
But isn't that the point if they're obese?
And when you get right to can't what how do you balance these?
Muchells running around saying everybody's fat, morbidly obese, it's a national crisis, it's a it's a national security threat.
We're gonna do something about it.
So she comes up with a regimen here that is designed to make them eat healthy and they get hungry.
Isn't that the point?
And if you want them to lose weight, if they're too fat, if their obesity is a national security threat, isn't there going to have to be some hunger.
But the little devils, they can't learn, see.
We've learned this.
If they don't get the right kind of stuff, they have to get up at 7 o'clock, it's too early, they can't learn.
If the Republicans cut the school lunch program, they can't learn.
If Muchell doesn't feed them enough, they can't learn.
Why would she let our children wither on the vine?
So I thought I thought it was Republicans who are hellbent on starving kids.
Turns out it's Obama's wife doing it.
Who would have thought?
But then isn't that the plan?
Get this, since we're talking about food.
This is from the Wall Street Journal.
Wall Street Journal, not TMZ.
Eating so-called comfort foods with large amounts of fat and sugar has been shown to vastly improve people's moods.
Now there is a report in the Journal of Behavioral and Brain Science.
Suggests that drawing pictures of unhealthy food can also have positive effects on your mood.
Have you ever tried that?
Try it.
Next time you're hungry and you want some comfort food, instead of grabbing a couple sliders and some parmesan fries, just sit down and draw them.
And see if your mood improves.
That's the story.
It's from September to November 2012.
Researchers recruited 61 students from St. Bonaventure University in upstate New York.
22 men, 39 women in their early 20s, slightly overweight, randomly assigned to one of four groups.
One group drew high-fat, high sugar cupcakes.
These are university students in a study, folks, in the United States.
One group drew cupcakes, another drew pictures of pizza.
A third drew low fat, high sugar strawberries.
And the fourth group drew low-fat, low sugar peppers.
Each participant instructed to use red, green, and black pencils.
Drawing pizzas improved the mood by 28%.
Cupcakes and strawberries improved moods by 27%.
22% respectively.
However, the pepper group, their mood only went up by 1%.
Is this not absurd?
No.
Well, no, no, we're no, no, no, no, no.
We're talking about things you eat.
See, you're okay.
So if you draw pictures of pretty girls versus ugly, you then if you bring Dustin Hoffman back into this.
Okay, so if you draw pictures of pretty girls, you're going to feel guiltier than if you draw pictures of ugly girls.
And if you draw pictures of uglier girls, are you going to feel better about yourself because you're open to it.
Anyway, this is what's happening in.
I don't know how you measure improved moods.
They just said that they meant they were able to do that.
By the way, Mrs. Obama's student meal program costs $3.2 billion a year.
And you could feed a lot of children for $3.2 billion a year.
But that $3.2 billion is actually going to feed Muchell's ego.
The views expressed by the host on this program documented to be almost always right, 99.7% of the time.
Here we are serving humanity just by being here.
It's a delight to have you.
Telephone number 800 282-2882.
You know what that university ought to do.
They need to study whether or not drawing food stamps fills you up.
Get hungry or feel full drawing food stamps.
The NFL, talking about the NFL a lot lately.
The NFL has a problem.
Standard marketing problem, not the 75 player arrests and not the players ganging up and murdering people, none of that.
The NFL has a problem.
The in-home experience is so good now.
With high definition, sometimes 3D TV, with a bathroom right nearby when you have to throw up.
The kitchen right nearby when you need the snacks and stuff is going to make you throw up when you get drunk.
And it's all climate control in your house.
You don't have to go to the stadium to enjoy the game.
So what they're trying to do in the NFL is ramp up the in-stadium experience.
Because people pay a lot of money for those seats.
It's getting, I mean, it it it's amazing how much.
Just a family of four for a you know, the average seat, football stadium costs.
They're trying to ramp up the experience because it's not climate control as you're in a gnome.
And you don't have the benefit of a TV announcer color commentary to explain to you what you just saw.
And the replay system, while they have replay boards and big scoreboards and big video screens.
Sometimes they don't show replays as frequently and as in detailed fashion as they do at home on TV.
And sometimes so many people gathered in one place, your cell phone shuts down.
Your ability to text people and call people is hampered.
So the NFL is taking a number of steps to improve all of this.
They're not lowering prices.
Well, some teams are in a minuscule way, but they're not attacking it that way.
They're building bigger scoreboards, bigger video boards.
And one of the things that they're going to do, they're going to put cameras in the locker rooms.
So that what goes on in the locker room will be exclusively viewable by fans in the stadium.
Now we'll be back.
We're not through.
Sit tight.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
NFL locker room is considered one of the mysterious frontiers of sports.
In movies and legends, it's where the secrets come out.
It's where the players reveal their true character, where fights go down, where the dust comes up, not to mention the words of spine tingling inspiration that come pouring out of the coaches' mouths.
So this year the NFL is taking unprecedented steps to please clamoring fans and reporters, all of whom are presumed to be dying to see what goes on in the locker room.
Teams in the National Football League now required to install cameras in the locker room for all in the stadium to view.
Because they're trying to ratchet up the in-stadium experience, make it unique.
Get people to come out there instead of staying in the comforts of their homes.
Players have spent the last few weeks not happy about this, publicly and privately lamenting the loss of privacy.
But really, now this story is mine.
I don't know who wrote this.
Wall Street Journal.
But I'm reading what somebody wrote here.
It's an opinion piece.
But really, they are concerned that this move might reveal one of football's most guarded secrets.
The modern NFL locker room is about as interesting as an insurance company call center.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said fans have called the NFL the ultimate reality show.
For those fans in a stadium, we're providing them with even more access.
When one for the Gipper or a Lombardy run through the wall speech, we're going to provide it.
We want to provide an inside look as the players get ready to come out on the field.
Now they went at, they talked to a bunch of people.
John Harbaugh, for example, a coach of the Baltimore Ravens, who said, There's nothing that goes on in there.
This is going to be one of the most boring Things in the world.
There's nothing that happens in a locker room at a bunch of people getting dressed.
There's nothing said in there that's meaningful.
There's nothing done in there that is maybe some horsing around, but there's nothing in there that happens.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I used to work for the Kansas City Royals, and I have been in locker rooms.
I've been in many, many locker rooms, and they're not as boring as this story, and some in the league, they're not happy with the move, what have you believe.
There is interesting stuff that goes on in there.
I mean, it would fascinate you.
I think it's going to stop.
You know, one of the things about cameras, and I know these cameras are going to be ubiquitous, and eventually people forget they're there.
But you take your average street corner anywhere, just any place, and people are coming and going and living and doing whatever they you put a camera there that they know is there, and it changes everything.
The last thing you get is reality.
The reality TV shows are not reality.
The only difference in a reality TV show and a regular TV show is that the writers on a reality show are not union.
That's it.
I've been on a reality show.
And I can't.
If a reality show ought to take whatever length of time it takes to do whatever you're doing.
The reality show I was on took two days to tape a 22-minute show.
There are tanks, there are retakes, there are overdues, there are changes in the lighting, every number of things.
You put a camera anywhere.
You know this as well as I do.
You put a camera anywhere and people start playing to it.
And if they're rank amateurs and start playing to it, it becomes its own circus.
Now the players, knowing that the cameras there, a bunch of different things are going to happen at first.
After a while, they'll forget the cameras are there.
But at the at the beginning, they're going to be aware, and some of the players are going to play to the cameras, try to horse around and take it to the limit.
And others are going to run away and not even be seen on the camera.
Others are going to play pranks.
I imagine one of the many things that'll be tried is players trying to take nudity to the edge.
And it just if that happens, I'm sure there's going to be a delay in stadium.
If somebody does start wandering around that way, they can cut it.
But it's all about the league trying to provide things for people in the stadium to get them to come out.
Something there that is not happening at home.
The point of this story is the management people trying to say, there's players.
I mean, they're they're they're just like you, they're boring people.
Just because they've got great athletic skill doesn't mean that they're fascinating people.
They're introverted.
They have uh they have their phobias.
They're not that all that's not altogether true.
But I can tell you what goes on in a locker room is not boring.
It's uh it's its own world.
It's its own universe, and it's a man's world, which is another thing that, you know, men's anything in our culture is not valued right now.
And it's not wussy man's world in there.
Uh so this is gonna be fascinating to me.
Ruffle Thimm's, who is one of the uh Snerdly, how would you describe Ruthlins?
He's one of the early hip hop guys, right?
He's he never was gangster.
He never got into gangster stuff.
He was one of the early, like the run DMC guys, and uh his brother was in run DMC.
Yeah.
Ruffel is an executive.
Yeah, but but Ruffle was also a uh he was a performer, wasn't he?
Well, you should know this because you're big, you're big music guy.
Anyway, none of that really matters.
I'm just, you know, I'm trying to set the table for people so they know who we're talking about.
Uh Ruthlins shows up a lot on Fox as a left-wing social commentator.
He wears his cap crooked.
Always wears his cap, whether it's a Yankee cap or whatever it is, it's always crooked.
And Ruffle Themmans was recently talking about the uh the George Zimmerman trial.
And I found this uh at Newsbusters, Ruffle Themmans said guilty or innocent, Zimmerman will ultimately be punished for Martin's death.
Guilty or innocent.
Zimmerman, a white Hispanic, will be punished for Martin's death.
Trayvon Martin's death.
Now Ruffle Themens wrote this.
This is uh Wednesday, right?
No, yes, Wednesday.
Wrote it yesterday.
Here's what he wrote.
Like so many people across the country, I have followed the murder trial of George Zimmerman very closely.
As we enter what is probably the last week of the trial, I'm sure that everybody's anxious about the outcome.
Now, for the past sixteen months, I've proudly supported the courageous parents Trayvon Martin as they have fought for justice for their son.
I've greatly admired the grace and humility that they have exuded throughout this entire tragic ordeal.
For them, the day of judgment in a courtroom will be a very difficult day, and I certainly will pay a prayer for them when that day comes.
He soon will be judged by a jury of his peers, Zimmerman, the white Hispanic.
He'll soon be judged by a jury of his peers.
That's the uh the best we can do.
Whatever decision they make, a decision that we must live with, whether we like it or not.
Whether George Zimmerman is found guilty or innocent, I am a firm believer that all of us live by karmic law, and he will ultimately be punished for the death of Trayvon no matter whether he is guilty or innocent.
Now, how does that work?
If you're innocent, if you didn't do it, how is it that you're gonna get punished anyway?
Karma, I know what he's saying.
I know what he's saying.
You want you mean translate what he's saying?
He's talking about karma.
He's saying, look, I don't care what you people think, and it doesn't matter what we think.
We know what we want to believe.
And what we want to believe is that Zimmerman killed this guy.
So we don't care what the court says.
Zimmerman's going to pay for it one way or the other, somewhere down the line, whether he did it or not.
Because we want him to have done it.
We've set the table for him to have done it.
Who else could have done it?
Trayvon is dead because he ran into Zimmerman.
Who cares how or why, and Zimmerman's gonna pay.
I got it?
Is that it?
I could be a hip hop mogul, folks.
To the phones, we're gonna start in Tampa.
This is Lon.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Great to have you here.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
You bet, sir.
I am your age.
I'm 62, I'm retired, and I want to bring everything together, or three things together that you talked about earlier, and you had a caller yesterday that talked about.
And that was the fact that I don't work.
I'm retired.
I would I wouldn't mind working, but the fact is the cost of going to work is extremely expensive.
Yeah, what let me interrupt you because some people may not have been here at time, it's hard to believe, but some people might not have been here yesterday, might not have heard the caller.
Okay.
Caller yesterday, folks, said that people like me, and maybe many of you are missing it all on immigration.
The reason we need amnesty is that Americans won't work anymore.
They just don't want to.
They don't have to.
They're all eating, they're all watching TV, they've all got their phones, they've all got cars to drive around in.
Um they got government welfare benefits here and there.
They don't have to work, and yet businesses need employees.
And the illegals are the only place they can get them.
That's what he said.
And it was a provocative thing because a lot of people, I could see, were nodding their head in agreement with the guy.
Now that's exactly right.
And just like you were saying about people not going to uh football games or baseball games, there's an ins is not an incentive to pay that kind of money when you can do it at home.
And and and the whole thing is is like in my position, where if if I go to work, I gotta pay for tires and gas, and uh my daughter drives 40 miles to work every day because she has to to maintain her family.
And I know between uh taxes, county, state, federal, gasoline, child care.
It it it's it's it's so hard for people today to be able to go out there and want to make a decent living.
And I and I I I I blame this all on Obama.
This is this is the whole thing is to keep everybody as uh uh part-time workers to keep everybody s uh down.
It's uh it's a horrible thing.
It's not the America that I grew up in.
So you're basically saying that the costs of going to work, the costs of having a job are not defrayed sufficiently by what you make to make it worthwhile for more and more people.
I think a lot of people think that way.
I I really do.
And I feel it.
What about the old saw, though?
Okay.
Work is how you define yourself.
Work is where you derive your self-worth.
Work is what you love.
Work is where you go.
Work is what you accomplish, it's what you achieve.
In addition to whatever you do with your family, work is a um uh a fundamental human need because it provides so many things that the human psyche needs.
It's always there's there's always been a cost to getting to work.
There's always been a cost to having a job, driving, commuting, uh, lack of time, was family, what whatever it is, there's always a cost.
But it's always been a necessity.
You had to do that to eat.
If you didn't do that, you weren't gonna eat after a while.
When you're you know, two weeks of unemployment around.
I I've fired a bunch of seven or eight times I've been fired.
And I can tell you that I couldn't have stayed on the beach for 99 weeks and and eaten, had food every day.
It couldn't have happened.
It can happen today.
I I agree with you wholeheartedly, Rush, but the point is we've got so much regulation, we have so much taxation that I and I still believe in the American spirit.
I I know your listeners out there, and I know there's a bunch of them working their rear ends off.
I've worked in the government, I've worked in the military, and I've worked in the private sector, and I'm gonna tell you the private sector was the hardest work I ever did in my life.
And I have more respect for those people than anyone else.
And I I think we're gonna get through this, but I still think there's is that portion of this uh uh uh population that it it's just i some of them may give up.
Well, I hear you're worth it, you know.
I knew that this guy yesterday who offered it's a high it's a very provocative thing because people are are uh uh certain people at some point are always gonna run down their own country and run down the people that I don't know.
I can't tell you how many people I run in to think the people's country are stupid just because they elect Obama.
They're just stupid.
Or they're stupid because of the news they watch, and they're stupid because they care about what Kim Kardashians do.
People think this all the time.
So when you say, well, you know, some people don't even want to go to work.
And and they don't have to, and so and your point is Obama and his policies have made work the least profitable it's ever been.
Converting people to part-time, that doesn't pay much.
Exactly.
You don't get the work to the health care benefit if you've been converted to part-time, which is why you were converted, and the gasoline price is skyrocketing because of Obama's war on fossil fuels.
So you've got a point.
I mean, I can't dispute what you're saying in that regard.

And then and the whole thing is we just gotta we just gotta turn out and get these uh bums out of there because we we've got to get back to to the principles of what this country was founded on.
I really believe that.
Well I do too.
Um profoundly.
But you know, the the the the problem, I think what you're basically saying is that the policies of this regime, the government incentives are for people to not work.

And they have their smartphones and they're using them.
There just isn't as much incentive.
So you you're you're you're right about that.
The dangerous thing is this is what Obama's designs have been.
Oh no, the student loan interest rate is not coming down.
The vote failed.
It stays at 6.8% for now.
