You know, I don't believe this, but I do believe it because I saw it.
Otherwise, I wouldn't believe it.
If Snerdley told me what I'm going to tell you and I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it.
I went to check the demographics of Sanford, Florida on Wikipedia.
This is unbelievable.
To show you the power of the New York Times, in the demographic breakdown of the population of Sanford, Florida on Wikipedia, which, as you know, is an encyclopedia that anybody can add to.
Anybody can edit it.
They include white Hispanics with the white population.
White Hispanics.
Now, up until this case, Hispanics were always lumped in with African Americans and other people of color as a minority.
But since this case happened, and since there is an African-American young man that has been killed by an Hispanic, well, we can't have that.
The Hispanic has to be white because the media wants to make this a racial event in America that, in their view, is a microcosm of what this country is really all about.
And that is that black people are killed just for being black.
Even to this day, that's the only reason that they're in jail because they're black.
And the only reason because they're killed is because they're black.
And they're killed by white people.
So here is Trayvon Martin killed by an Hispanic, and all of a sudden now the Hispanic becomes white.
And if you go to Wikipedia to look at the demographic population or breakdown, the population of Sanford, Florida, they now include a new category, white Hispanics.
But even at that, even putting white Hispanics with whites, they still say that 30% of the population of Sanford, Florida is made up of non-white Hispanics.
You see what these people do?
They talk about the great humanitarians they are and how we're all just one people.
And everything they do is divisive.
Everything the left does is intended to divide people and to group people, primarily into groups of victims.
So here you go.
According to the 2010 census, 50 and a half million Americans or 16.3% of Americans were ethnically Hispanic or Latino.
Of those, 26.7 million or 53% were white.
So now all of a sudden, since this case, according to Wikipedia, most Hispanics in America are white Hispanics.
Who knew?
So how come, how come we keep hearing about how the Republican Party's doomed because white people are dying off?
How can white people be dying off if over half the Hispanic population is white?
Anyway, it's a footnote in a census document, in a PDF file.
So The Hispanic, here's the bottom line of this is that the Hispanic population in Sanford, Florida is only 20%.
Hispanic or Latino, 20%.
So what I'm wondering is we've got PSAs down there that law enforcement have sponsored and have broadcast on TV.
As Vinny from Queens said, an outreach to thuggery.
And the PSAs are urging people not to riot in wake of the verdict.
And obviously, they're talking about the black population.
They're hoping the black population doesn't riot.
Of course, are they really hoping that?
I mean, like my old saw, tell people don't think, think, pink, what are they thinking?
Don't riot.
You put the idea in their head.
So are they worried that the Hispanics might riot?
Are they worried that the Hispanics might come out of the shadows in Sanford, Florida, and riot if there's a guilty verdict?
The Hispanic population in Sanford, Florida is 20%, and a percentage of that is now labeled as being white Hispanics.
The prosecution is going through final arguments right now, and I read, or I think I heard, that the final arguments could take three hours.
Does the defense alone take three hours?
Then with a one-hour rebuttal.
So the case ain't going to go to the jury till tomorrow.
These poor jurors, you know, it's an all there's six, there's six women on the jury.
Five are white and one's a white Hispanic, right?
Or is one a white African American?
What did I read?
Six women on the jury, right?
And white, five of them are white, and one is a white Hispanic or a white, believed to be a white Hispanic, not a white African American.
Okay.
So these poor, I'm reminded of the Menendez jury, which we spoke about earlier.
There's no telling what the jury is going to do, but Vinny from Queens thinks he knows.
They've seen the PSA.
They've heard this.
The judge knows this.
Everybody in that town is scared to death of riots if there is a not guilty verdict.
So what are we going to get?
We're going to get a guilty verdict just to spare the town.
We'll wait.
We will wait and see what happens.
Now, the House of Representatives yesterday voted to block the enforcement of light bulb standards that would effectively force people to buy more expensive and more dangerous compact fluorescent bulbs.
Just like last year, Representative Michael Burgess, Republican, Texas, proposed the language as an addition to the energy and water spending bill.
His lingo prohibits the use of any money at the Department of Energy to implement the standards.
A pull quote from the story: if the new energy-efficient light bulbs save money, and if they are better for the environment, we should trust our constituents to make the choice on their own to move toward these bulbs.
Let the market decide.
We need to find this guy and have him run for office, except he's already in office.
It's a Republican.
You see this?
Let the people figure it out.
If the compact fluorescents are cheaper, if they're safer, if they do a better job, people will go buy them.
If they don't, they won't.
But even this, even light bulbs now have become politicized with this.
And it was a scare tactic.
You know, the Thomas Edison light bulbs were destroying the climate, my friend.
Yes.
Your standard, ordinary 40, 80, 120-watt bulb was causing climate change, ladies and gentlemen.
You can't be blamed.
You didn't know.
But because of that, you've got to get rid of them and you've got to go now to these compact fluorescents.
It just, it's, I don't know.
If I stop and think about this stuff long enough, I literally get mad.
I literally start fuming here, getting irritated at these never-ending assaults on liberty, freedom, self-reliance.
People live their life the way they want.
The idea that there's a wrong kind of light bulb, and the idea that there's a light bulb out there destroying the planet, people are too stupid to know, so we've got to make sure they can't buy them.
Just a bunch of busy bodies that cannot leave well enough alone.
Did you hear what Justin Bieber did?
You believe this.
Justin Bieber's reign of teenage terror continues.
This time, what he did, he relieved himself in a mop bucket inside a nightclub kitchen, and then he had the audacity to insult Bill Clinton.
He sprayed a photo of Bill Clinton and spews an expletive at the former president.
Justin Bieber took a leak in a mop in a nightclub, in a mop bucket, and then said, F Bill Clinton.
And then the news of this got out, and he called Clinton to apologize.
He dissed ex-President Clinton while peeing in the bucket.
And then he called Clinton.
He said, F Bill Clinton.
I don't know why you would think of Bill Clinton.
Well, actually, I do.
You're taking a leak in a mop bucket in a nightclub, and you're thinking Bill Clinton.
I can see that.
So you can't hold that against him.
But then he did the right thing because the news of this got out.
So then he calls Clinton and he apologized.
He found a way to speak to Clinton.
He apologized.
All this comes from E Entertainment News.
And Clinton, we're told, was really cool about it.
Thanks for taking the time to talk, Mr. President.
Your words meant a lot.
So Bieber got hold of Clinton.
Clinton said, don't sweat it.
I'm used to this.
No big deal, Justin.
Won't hold it against you.
And everybody thinks Clinton's a good guy.
Bieber apologized.
No harm done.
Everybody pees in a nightclub mop bucket now and then, especially 19-year-olds, what are you going to do?
So I checked the email during the break.
I said, Rush, what did Bieber do to get back in Clinton's good graces after what he did there with peeing in the mop and saying if Clinton, what Bieber did, according to E Entertainment Network, whatever, Bieber called Clinton and And said, look, pal, I'm sorry.
You know, I just, it's under big pressure here I'm under, but if there's anything I can do for the Clinton Global Initiative, I'd love to help.
So Bieber is smart.
He implied he was going to give Clinton some money.
That's what offering to help the Clinton Global Initiative means.
So Clinton says, okay, well, if you're willing to give me some money, I didn't say it that way, but it's what he meant.
I'll be glad to accept your apology.
Bill Clinton has always been kind to leakers.
And it stands to reason here that he would be tolerant of Bieber and this childlike incident in exchange for donations or help or whatever, the Clinton Global Initiative.
Here's Judy in Tampa.
So we go back to the phones.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi.
Pleasure to talk to you.
My point was that if there's a conviction, it seems like there will be.
Don't you think that the anti-gun people are looking for that too?
That's going to be a nice thing.
You know, I think you're on to something.
I've been during the break here paying a little bit of attention to the prosecution closing argument.
They're making a big deal.
This the lead prosecutor here making a huge deal out of who was armed here.
Yeah.
Making a big deal out of who had the gun and making a big deal out of who ought to been scared in this situation.
It should have been Trayvon's guy.
Zimmerman's a guy that had the gun, and it was Zimmerman doing the profiling.
And it was Zimmerman that was the aggressor.
It was Zimmerman here who was exuding all this aggressive behavior, scaring everybody.
And so focusing on the gun and neighborhood watch, and he's not really a cop.
It was a wannabe cop.
Yeah, I think you're onto something.
Yeah, guns are bad.
Nobody should have them.
Nobody should carry them.
Well, yeah.
That's where they're going.
And it's certainly not white Hispanics who are not cops.
And not neighborhood watch guys, because I read an article by a very surprising article by David Horowitz, who said they shouldn't carry the guns.
That was odd.
Who said they should carry the guns?
David Horowitz wrote in an article on Front Page Mag.
Everyone was really wondering why he was doing that, but that's what we heard.
David Horowitz said that the neighborhood watch shouldn't be carrying a gun.
Shouldn't be carrying a gun.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Well, I can see why people would be curious about that.
They were very curious, not very happy about it.
I can imagine.
Well, obviously he had his reasons, but did he explain them?
Well, the whole piece was really, it just came out of left field, literally.
I mean, it just had nothing to do with the mindset or the whole point of view of that particular blog or that particular website.
It was kind of shocking.
Yeah.
Well, I did not know that.
I'm glad you passed that on to me.
Again, to reiterate, the lead prosecutor here is throwing everything at Zimmerman, which no surprise.
Zimmerman was profiling.
Zimmerman had the gun.
Zimmerman couldn't have been scared.
He had a gun.
Trayvon didn't have a gun.
Zimmerman, he's just ticked off.
In fact, he was mad because the cops weren't responding quickly enough.
He was ticked off.
There have been a lot of robberies in the neighborhood, and he didn't think cops cared enough.
So, by golly, by gosh, he's going to do something about it.
So accusing Zimmerman of profiling, accusing Zimmerman of being aggressive and threatening with the gun.
The gun.
And I'm sure the defense is going to say this.
But the gun probably saved Zimmerman's life.
Or could have.
You can't say probably.
But the gun could possibly have been the thing, the reason that Zimmerman is alive today.
Ladies and gentlemen, there's a story in Forbes magazine today.
Now, some of you might think I should have gotten to this at the top of the program, but it just happens the way it happens each and every day.
Why the White House is panicking about Obamacare?
Forbes, why the White House is panicking about Obamacare.
Would you like to take a wild guess what this story says, Mr. Snerdley, as to why the White House is panicking over Obamacare?
And don't look at, if you're wrong, don't be embarrassed.
I mean, there's not, there are wrong answers, but it's not guaranteed that anybody.
No, the reason that this guy, John Goodman is his name, the writer of the story, he says the White House is panicking because people aren't signing up.
Actors, actresses, NFL football players, baseball players, librarians, librarians, for those of you in real mayors, city councilmen, members of AARP, the Obama regime is looking far and wide, leaving no stone unturned in a relentless search for help.
By the way, there's a Washington Post story today that says, honestly now, the administration is going to be advertising Obamacare in port-a-potties.
They have contracted and they're going to put stickers inside port-a-potties at eye level, promoting Obamacare, which, when you stop and think about it, is a great place to have stickers on Obamacare at eye level in a port-a-potty.
But they're doing this, Goodman says, because they're desperate.
They're looking for help.
Help with getting people to enroll in health insurance plans.
Why is that?
Because the regime is facing the very real possibility that its signature piece of legislation may fall flat on its face.
Last week's announcement that the employer mandate will be delayed for a year and that income verification will also be delayed are the latest signs of trouble.
The next shoe-to-drop may be the failure or people to obtain Obamacare insurance, even if it's free or highly subsidized.
And he offers some statistics.
They are these.
About one in every four people eligible for Medicaid has not bothered to enroll.
One in five employees who are offered employer-provided health insurance turns it down.
Among workers under 30, the refusal rate is one in three.
Now think about that for a moment.
Millions of people are turning down Medicaid.
They're turning down health insurance, even though it's free.
Millions of others are turning down their employees' offers.
Since employees pay about 27% of the cost of their health insurance on average, millions of workers are passing up the opportunity to buy health insurance for 27 cents on the dollar.
I don't know that they know that.
I'd be surprised if people think about it that way.
But people aren't signing up.
If that's true, that's another reason why they're advertising.
They need people in this entitlement.
They need people signed up for this to make it impossible to repeal it someday.
We have more when we get back.
Don't go away.
Ladies and gentlemen, I've been watching the prosecutor and the closing arguments here in the Zimmerman trial during the obscene profit timeouts.
And I have to tell you something about this guy.
I don't know what his name is, Bernie De La Rionda or De La Rionda.
I'm not sure how he pronounces it.
But this guy's mad.
This prosecutor is filled with rage.
Now, I mean, every time I've tuned in, for 30 minutes, this guy's been filled with rage, at least the times I've seen him.
Well, the way it might matter, what is it that we're told people don't like?
They don't like yelling.
They don't like people arguing.
People are made uncomfortable with partisanship, right?
They don't like this constant bickering and constant arguing.
They don't like people's raised voices.
They don't like all of this.
And this guy, this guy is, he's just, he's acting like he is livid over everything about this.
They're not showing the jurors, so I don't know the jury's the reaction, but I can tell you the gallery there.
And this doesn't mean anything.
I'm not, do not misinterpret.
I'm not predicting an outcome in this based on anything I'm seeing here.
I'm just sharing with you my observations.
But there are people yawning.
Well, this guy is filled with rage and angry.
Some of the people back there are not even looking at him anymore.
They're just one guy grimaced and kind of looked away, and another guy yawned.
And the women are looking down.
If any of the jurors happen to be 24-year-old women, they might be scared to death listening to the closing arguments here.
I'm just saying.
Now, listen to this from the Washington Post article on selling Obamacare.
In Connecticut, selling Obamacare involves airplanes flying banners across beaches.
Oregon may reel in hipsters with branded coffee cups for their lattes.
And in neighboring Washington state, the effort could get quite intimate.
The state is interested in sponsoring portable toilets at concerts.
The advertisements developed with political consultants and communications firms illustrate the ability of the healthcare law supporters to pinpoint the precise group they want to sign up, people that use port-a-potties.
Stop and think of that.
Anyway, they're having trouble getting people to sign up.
I, frankly, when I saw this Forbes story, I was surprised.
I really was.
I thought I feared.
You know, Obama's been out telling people it's free.
And we've had people call here.
I'm sure you've talked to people who have regaled you with stories about people in their office who are all excited that healthcare is free and that Obama's making it happen.
And Obama said that your premium is going to go down $2,500 if it isn't free.
You keep your doctor, you keep your policy.
None of that turns out to be true.
But the fact that people are not signing up in droves actually does make sense when you compare that to the polling data, which says anywhere, depending on the poll, from 55 to 63% of the people do not want this.
55 to 63 percent of the people polled don't want Obamacare, and as such, suspect something, and they're not signing up for it.
Now, the exchanges are not actually officially open, but nevertheless, this guy at Forbes has done the research and found out that people are just not signing up.
And young people, particularly, that's what, and that's who the regime really wants.
They need them to pay the freight.
They need young people who are not going to be pulling much out of the system in terms of health care treatment, paying the freight for the elderly who need all the care.
And that's not happening, and that's why Obama's hitting the pavement and running around out there selling it now.
And they're going to all of these measures, taking all these measures to convince people to sign up.
They need a bunch of things here.
They not only need people to sign up for Obamacare to protect it, and the more people sign up, the tougher it's ever going to be to repeal it, for example.
But they also want people to use Obamacare as a gateway to more government dependence.
So the more people that sign up for Obamacare, the more they're signing up to be lifelong Democrats.
But millions of people are turning down Medicaid health insurance, even though it's free.
One in three workers under 30 is not signing up.
No wonder they're going to these lengths to get people to sign up.
Hugh in Richmond, Virginia, I'm glad you waited.
You're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Thank you, sir.
Listening for well over 15 years, first con caller.
Well, I just have a rhetorical question and a prayer.
The rhetorical question is: I wonder what the photographs and the telephone conversations and emails that the NSA got on Justice Roberts to make him flip on Obamacare and gay rights legislation at the Supreme Court.
That's my question.
It's rhetorical.
We'll have to wait for an honest regime to change before we can ever find out, unless the prayer is, would Edward Snowden possibly have the answer to the rhetorical question?
Well, it's an interesting thought process that the NSA procured data of an embarrassing nature that the regime used on John Roberts, and that Snowden might know what it is.
I'm fascinated, folks, as I've mentioned many times, the way people think.
I'm always intrigued and entertained by that.
I don't, I never even thought of that.
I never even thought of blackmail against John Roberts.
I just happen to take him at his word that he just doesn't, he doesn't think that he ought to be the one to cancel an act of Congress.
I don't know.
As for Snowden, this is interesting.
Snowden is in limbo.
He is in a section of the Moscow airport and can't get out of there.
There are two or three countries who have, quote-unquote, promised him asylum.
One of them is Venezuela, I think Nicaragua.
And if I'm not mistaken, Cuba.
Or maybe not Cuba, but Bolivia.
There are three of them.
The problem is that he can't get there without overflying either the United States or an ally of the United States.
Now, remember the Bolivian president, Manuel Osobuco, or whatever his name was, they forced his airplane down in Vienna because they thought that Bieber, not Bieber, Snowden was on it.
Bieber, Snowden, what's the difference?
Both young punks.
They thought that Snowden was on the plane and they put that plane.
That plane was on the ground in Vienna for 14 hours in Austria.
And this is the Bolivian president.
Yeah, Osobuco Morales.
That's what his name is.
And so there isn't, if they can do that to the Bolivian president, if the U.S. can make that happen with an ally, there's nobody, it's a 6,000-mile trip to Cuba from Moscow to Cuba.
Now, there are airplanes that'll get there non-stop, but not without overflying the U.S. or an ally.
So he's actually stuck in the Moscow airport.
Putin doesn't want any to do with him for some reason.
There's actually a section in the Moscow airport for a homeless, wayward political dissidents.
And I think they got all the vodka they want, but that's it.
Can't get out of there.
Yeah, drones that land on Navy carriers.
I know.
They're big drones, too.
Look like the B-2 stealth bomber.
Did you see that damn thing?
Wow.
All right, let me ask you.
I'm serious.
Have you ever heard of anybody dying from eating butter?
Have you heard of anybody dying from eating eggs?
I mean, this stuff is really, snurdily just asked me, okay, we can have all the salt we want.
Now it turns out that these omega-3 things are linked to prostate cancer.
What about butter?
Have you heard anything about butter?
Yeah, eat it.
It's great.
It's delicious.
All the great chefs in the world, what distinguishes male chefs from female chefs, and this is why Paula Dean stood out.
She used butter.
Most women won't get anywhere near it other than for desserts.
So Gandalfini just died of what?
Food?
See, this is how it works.
Gandalfini just died from eating.
I know Dr. Oz is helping perpetuate that Gandalfini.
I don't even want to say what he said.
I can't believe he said it.
Gandalfini went out there and he overated and he went to the bathroom and strained and he had a heart attack.
Can you, I just, just these people, nobody knows what happened.
Jay-Z says that he speaks to Obama quite often, and he texts with Obama quite often.
And Obama's heavy in his sports.
A lot of his analogies end up in sports.
Maybe Obama was talking to Jay-Z when Benghazi went down.
Hey Obama, if you want to sell health care, offer an Obama phone when people sign up.
