Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And greetings to you, music lovers, drill seekers, conversational us all across the fruited plain.
It's the end of the week.
It's Friday.
And let's go from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday!
Mystery Bob, open line Friday, where I wash will take one of the biggest, largest.
Most glaringly obvious career risks known to exist in the modern big media.
I turn the content of the program over to rank amateurs.
Like everybody who has a TV show.
When we go to the phones.
Difference, you all are lovable.
Rank amateurs.
I am the highly talented, highly trained broadcast specialist.
And also on Open Line Friday, whatever you want to talk about is okay.
Sorry, wrong button.
We do not feature that many restrictions on callers on Friday, Monday through Thursday.
You have to pretty much talk about something I'm interested in.
Or you have to say you want to talk about something I'm interested in.
Otherwise, it's Sayonara.
Speaking of Cyanara, do you see the diaper craze in Japan?
Have you seen this?
Adult Dioper sales and usage outnumbering infant diaper sales and usage in Japan.
It's just the aging population.
There are more old people in Japan than there are young people.
It's a combination of people living longer over there.
And uh a lower than replacement birth rate.
Adult diapers outsell infant diapers in Japan.
800-282-2882 is a number if you want to be on the program.
The defenses rest in the Zimmerman case.
We'll have some stuff on this in in due course in mere moments.
First, let's look what look at the health news that we have had.
Oh, make a note to myself.
Remember to talk about major crimes.
Major crimes.
There we go.
Underline it.
GW Bailey.
There we go.
Okay.
Look at the health news that we have learned this week.
Yesterday the big news was that omega-3 fish oils increase a man's risk for prostate cancer by 70%.
Now many people have been led to believe that omega-3 oils, fish oils, or people gobble that stuff.
Uh retards and delays or prevents whatever cancer.
Turns out there's a direct link in a rather large human trial sample size.
Between omega-3 fatty acid fish pills, fish oil pills, and uh and and whatever.
Uh prostate cancer.
We also learned that it's a total myth to reduce salt intake in order to promote health.
It turns out it doesn't matter.
And I I'll tell you, you know, there are, I didn't, I didn't realize this when I was talking about this yesterday.
Somebody made the point to me that there are a bunch of American corporations who, upon being pressured by New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, actually have reduced the salt content of their foods.
These processed food industry.
For the most part, have actually reduced the salt content of their foods and made them less appetizing.
Have made their products taste worse if you all on the pressure of a big government nanny, Michael Bloomberg.
It turns out now to be of no significance whatsoever.
When it comes to your Health.
It's just a matter of preference.
There's no need to be worried about salt intake.
There was a third one.
I'm having a trouble remembering off the top of my head what the third health realization.
Oh, it was.
What was it?
It was uh salt, fish oils, omega 3.
No, that we we just I discovered exercise is irrelevant in weight loss 35 years ago.
That's not diet soda.
No, no, there was some there was some health thing turned upside.
Anyway, I'll remember it.
Here's here's the one today.
And standby.
Common acid reflux drugs.
We're talking prilosec, nexium, previsid, uh Tagamet, that kind of stuff.
The drugs, nothing, this is not Tums and ROLAIS.
No, no, no, I'm not going to attack big pharma.
Once again, we're we're attacking a bunch of politicized health Nazis.
An extremely popular class of drugs taken by millions of people with acid reflux, heartburn, and GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease.
You ever heard of that?
You ever heard of GERD?
You don't want to get GERD is is a bad news.
It's like gout of the of the uh gastrointestinals, if you can, if you can visualize that.
No, folks, I haven't forgotten.
I'm just stringing you along here.
An extremely popular class of drugs taken by millions of people with acid reflux, heartburn and GERD may risk or raise the risk of heart disease and heart attack.
This, according to a new study published in a current issue of circulation.
A journal of the American Heart Association.
Research by John P. Cook with an E on the end, clinical professor and chair of the Department of Cardiovascular Sciences at Houston Methodist Hospital, found that stomach acid suppressing proton pump inhibitors, like prelisec, nexium, previsid may cause blood vessels to constrict, reducing blood flow.
Studying both mouse and human tissue cultures.
The researchers found that PPIs led to an approximately 25% increase in a chemical messenger called ADMA, which is considered a cardiovascular risk factor.
ADMA suppresses blood vessels ability to produce nitric oxide, which is a relaxant that protects artery walls.
Nitric oxide is so important to cardiovascular health that its discovery was honored with a Nobel Prize in 1998.
Now, in this study, PPIs, and again, these these are the uh uh the drugs prilosec, nexium, previsid.
These are proton pump inhibitors.
These PPIs reduce the ability of mouse blood vessels to relax by an average of more than 30%.
We also found the same effect in human blood vessels, says Cook.
This is very important because blood vessels need to be able to contract and open up to control blood flow.
Now, how many people have been taking these things?
Prilosec, Nexium, Previsid, for heartburn, uh reflux, GERD, and now they find out they are exposing themselves, perhaps, to increased odds of heart disease.
There's another way of reading this too, though.
An extremely popular class of drugs taken by millions of people with acid reflux, heartburn and GERD may not risk raise the risk of heart disease and heart attacks.
It might, but then it might not as well.
They don't know.
But regardless, well, because they got the news here.
They've done the test.
It might.
I mean, it's it's a 30%, it's a per 30% thing out there.
I mean, they've they've they've ginned up a panic.
This is what, this is the way this all operates.
I'm just telling you.
What?
What are you taking?
Oh, good for you.
You did not take your omega acids today.
I didn't know you have been taking omega acids.
You didn't tell anybody that.
You might need to go to Omega Acid Rehab now.
You gotta be wary of the withdrawal from the omega acid uh uh uh uh uh stuff.
I didn't know you were on those things.
You didn't take it because of the news yesterday that it leads to increased risk of prostate cancer.
Well, that makes sense based on the news of yesterday.
Here's another one.
This is the from the researcher Cook.
I'd tell people if there's something else they could be taking that would effectively control their symptoms, such as Zantac or Tagamet.
Oh, Tagamet is not included in the bad stuff here.
Xantac Tagamat, maybe that would be better, Cook said, who until recently was professor of cardiovascular medicine at Stanford School of Medicine and the associate director of the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute before moving his lab to Houston.
So, you know what?
Tums work.
Tums are uh what was the Tom's uh ROLAids, they work.
They're not preventative.
That's the great thing about prelate second has to be you take it once a day and you never get heartburn, that actually reduces the production of acid.
Tums and roll aids, when the acid hits you take it and neutralizes it.
Or alka seltzer.
You know, that's what you took in the old day when it's in the 60s, heartburn just put some fizzy alka seltzer in the glass and wait till it fizzes up and drink that, and you burp the gas away.
Worked every time I tried it.
Try this, folks.
I this is just incredible.
From Iowa City, Iowa, the Iowa Supreme Court today stood by its ruling that a dentist acted legally when he fired an assistant because he found her too attractive and worried that he would try to start an affair with her.
Coming to the same conclusion as it did in December, the all-male Iowa Supreme Court found that bosses can indeed fire employees they see as threats to their marriages.
There doesn't have to be any activity that has taken place.
There does not have to have been an affair.
The beautiful women in question does not have to have made an advance or any move whatsoever.
However, The predator male in the circumstance need not have made a move on the attractive woman.
What the Iowa state Supreme Court has ruled is that if a man thinks that he is going to be inclined to make a move on a beautiful woman in his office, he can fire her legally.
Simply because she's beautiful.
May I call your attention once again to undeniable truth of life number 24 come to life yet again, albeit in a reverse form.
The feminists, I will guarantee you the feminists are conflicted by this, but at the end of the day, they have to be cheering this.
Because feminism basically exists to level the scales to level the playing field between attractive and unattractive women.
That's why it's there.
When you strip all the politics away, and and it and feminism is totally about militant liberalism.
When you strip all it away, it's there's also the attractive versus unattractive factor, Which is, I think one of the primary reasons the modern era of the feminist movement got ginned up in the first place.
The court said that a guy firing an attractive female employee does not count as illegal sex discrimination because they're motivated by feelings, not by gender.
And the feelings are apprehension and fear.
Fear that the beauty of the female employee is going to undermine a marriage by inspiring the predator male to make a move on the female employee to have an affair with her.
And of course, the female employee is going to be inclined to accept the boss's advances, otherwise she'll get canned.
So the other female employees, well, that's look.
See, this is the I hate to have to go there.
But you do have to consider how does this make the unattractive women in this guy's office feel?
Do they feel safer?
That they don't they don't face the same risk of being fired because the boss is not attracted to them and may not want to have an affair with them.
Or are they jealous?
Or envy.
The wife is a factor in this story.
The ruling upholds a judge's decision to dismiss a discrimination lawsuit filed against Fort Dodge dentist James Knight.
That's the guy we're talking about here.
He fired assistant Melissa Nelson, even while acknowledging that she'd been a stellar employee for ten years.
Knight and his wife.
May I repeat.
The dentist, James Knight and his wife, believed that his attraction to Nelson, two decades younger than he is, had become a threat to their marriage.
Nelson, now 33, was replaced by another woman, obviously unattractive.
Knight, the dentist, had an all-female staff.
The all-male court, that's the second time the story references them.
The all-male court issued its revised opinion today in the case after taking unusual step last month of withdrawing its December opinion, which had received nationwide publicity debate and criticism.
Nelson's attorney, the beautiful woman fired because of what might happen.
Paige Fiedler had asked the court in January to reconsider calling the decision blow for gender and racial equity in the workplace.
And she had warned that the opinion could allow bosses to legally fire dark-skinned blacks and replace them with light-skinned blacks or small-breasted workers in favor of big breasted workers.
I kid you not.
That's what the beautiful employees lawyer said.
So you could fire a dark-skinned black, but what is the assumption there that the dark-skinned black is going to be less attractive than the light-skinned black to a white dentist?
Or somebody with big boobs stands a risk of getting fired more than somebody with small boobs.
Anyway, the all-male court threw all of that out and stood by the dentist's decision to fire the woman because he...
The wife is only mentioned once in the story, but at a very key moment and in a very key way.
Fort Dodge's dentist, James Knight, who fired assistant Melissa Nelson, even while acknowledging she'd been a stellar employee for 10 years, And nothing had ever happened, by the way.
Knight and his wife believed that his attraction to Nelson had become a threat to their marriage.
It means the wife thought this.
Dennis didn't.
And there's a picture here of the fired woman.
You want to see it?
Yeah, I gotta take a break to get there.
But I'll show you after the break.
And we are back.
I read way, way long, folks, in the first segment, and that's okay, except this segment can be very, very, very short, which is not good.
It's not wise programming formatically, so I apologize for it.
Nobody likes these short segments.
I don't either.
Anyway, uh here comes the picture of the employee canned because the dentist felt like he might want to have an affair with her.
And the dentist's wife thought the same thing.
There she is.
That's the tenure employee that was fired.
Sorry if you don't have a dental chem get it.

The other thing that we discovered this week was that attention deficit disorder drugs do not improve grades.
So here are the things attention deficit disorder drugs, Ritalin, Adderall do not improve the grades of your hyperactive, hyperkinetic male predator little boy.
You can eat all the salt you want.
Doesn't matter.
These drugs that everybody...
Well, not drugs, but the omega-3 fish oils that people think are basically health supplements have a 70% increased link to prostate cancer.
And of course, today the news that nexium, prelosec, and other inhibitor type drugs, stomach acids, can increase the risk of heart disease.
I'll tell you, folks, it's just it's dangerous to live.
It is really dangerous to be alive.
Some seriously considering whether it's worth it.
You realize all the risks out there to being alive.
Get this.
This is actually a very provocative piece on the Zimmerman case.
It is found today in the American Spectator.
One of my all-time favorite journals of opinion.
It's written by a man named Daniel J. Flynn.
It's about the Zimmerman case.
And the headline of this piece is really good, and it's provocative itself.
It gives you an indication of what the story is about.
Two males, two guys, comma, no men.
Two males, two guys, no men.
And the premise of Mr. Flynn's piece is that the real reason Travon Martin was shot is that we don't have any real men anymore in America.
Now a series of pull quotes from the story to give you flavor for the piece.
Mr. Flynn says that the proper response to an assault by a 158-pound teenager isn't to scream for help.
It's not to grab for a gun.
It's to punch back.
Punch back.
Better yet, subdue the 158-pound teenager and give him a spanking.
Their households, another pull quote.
Their households lacked strong male role models.
Their society even more so.
Four in ten American kids entered the world without their father married to their mother.
When schoolboys begin to exhibit traits natural to their sex, these energetic fellows earn the wrath of detention and riddling.
Frankly, folks, this is becoming a what's a popular yet.
But it's becoming a more acceptable reaction to all of this ADD and ADHD stuff.
And this pull quote right on the money.
Four out of ten American kids enter the world without their father married to their mother.
And when schoolboys begin to exhibit traits natural to their sex, which the feminists have been trying to wipe out since the late 60s and early 70s, natural male traits were portrayed as predator, brutish, inhuman, insensitive, unfeeling, brutal, violent.
Men could not be trusted with their own children, particularly their own daughters.
Men behaving as they are naturally predestined to behave has earned the wrath of detention at scrule and the drug riddling to calm them down.
Any game, any game that highlights contact from dodgeball to football comes under attack, primetime TV celebrates the fop and makes a buffoon out of fathers.
See so Homer Simpson, everybody loves Raymond, take your show.
Jobs relying on the physical characteristics favored in males have been outsourced to robots and foreigners.
Civilizing men out of existence has come at great cost to civilization.
Instead of men, we get feminine imitations lacking beauty.
We get lost boys compensating by becoming barbarians.
We get Sanford, Florida.
They don't make men like they used to, begins Daniel J. Flynn in his piece.
One can look at a Danish study that shows plummeting testosterone levels for scientific confirmation of this.
Or one could more easily turn on any cable news network's wall-to-wall coverage of the Zimmerman Martin case, a tragedy involving two males fumbling in the dark on how to be men.
Whatever the protagonists may be guilty of, they are surely innocent of being men.
Neither one was a man.
And now we have six female jurors, not tasked to reach a verdict on the manhood of the central players, nevertheless know the truth of this more than the trial observers.
The Venusians know the Martins better than know themselves, and vice versa.
What do they know of X chromosomes who only X chromosomes know?
On the maternity or maturity count, I'm sorry, Trayvon Martin might reasonably plead not guilty by reason of chronology.
Seventeen-year-old boys quite often act like effing punks.
Most of them grow out of it, but Mr. Martin unfortunately won't get that chance.
Rarely, in spite of the exaggerated masculine posturing, do teenage boys behave as mature males.
Martin's Twitter feeds read as a parody of poor grammar and an even more impoverished vocabulary.
Talks about bitches and hoes and uses the N-word all over the place.
The primary extracurricular activity he immerses himself in is marijuana.
The gold teeth smile, the tattoos, the ten day suspension from school, and all the rest appear as pathetic attempts to assert his virility.
Yet as his supporters point out, Travon also likes Skittles and Chuck E. Cheeses.
The presentation that Trayvon affected and the Trayvon that his supporters present are like so many making the journey from adolescence to adulthood at war internally.
George Zimmerman in contrast projects a courtroom image of a meek pudgeball who wouldn't or couldn't hurt a fly, and not in a Norman Bates way, perhaps this is the effect that his lawyers intended, but it jibes with what we know.
According to one unidentified witness, Zimmerman endured a domineering mother's frequent beatings and a docile father who failed to stick up for his kids.
His mixed Martial arts instructor described him as physically soft, a student who lacked athleticism and didn't know how to really effectively punch.
May I interrupt myself here for a moment?
I have to make an observation.
I have, I just noticed it again today.
Every time I've seen Zimmerman seated in the courtroom, what have you thought?
What has your reaction been to Zimmerman seated there?
Do you know that the lawyers are counseling him to sit that way?
Show no emotion whatsoever.
Don't even appear to be engaged in any of this.
Don't crack a smile, don't make any facial expressions, just stare straight ahead.
Don't make eye contact with anybody.
Now there are jury consultants in this case, and the lawyers telling Zimmerman, look, you've got to behave in certain way.
We got six jurors.
They're all women, and we've got a TV camera in here.
And Mr. Flynn may have a point.
It may well be that the sum total of the advice Zimmerman's getting adds up to don't look like a man.
Look like a look like the Pillsbury doughboy in there.
Look like you couldn't hurt a flea.
Look like you're harmless.
Look like you're just yeah, just you look like a schlub.
You just anything else may offend the jury.
Anything else may offend the media watching, who would then issue commentary.
Anything else might frighten and off put look at me, I am told that just speaking like this frightens 24-year-old women, and probably 23 and 22-year-old women.
Being forceful, being opinionated.
You know what?
Let me give you another example.
I showed up, I I appeared on the uh on the five on Fox on Tuesday afternoon.
And as you know, I affectionately refer to Andrea Tarantos as Andrea Tarantula.
Now some in the audience, I'm sure got it and understood the joke.
But I know full well that a huge number of people had no idea why in the world I would call her Andrea Tarantula.
So I knew it was coming.
I knew I was going to get the question when I learned that she was on the show that day.
And sure enough, she asked me, and in the question that she asked, she said, now Bob Beckle says I've got great legs, but I've only got two of them.
I don't have eight.
What?
So it was assumed by some that I was making a comment about her legs when I was talking about Andrea Tarantula.
But in answering her question, I said, Andrea, I'm gonna answer it, I'll be glad to answer it, but to a number of people, the answer is going to be entirely sexist.
Because you see, I come from an era long ago where a man could be a man, and stereotypical humor didn't offend anybody.
I said, Andrea, what is a tarantula?
It's a spider.
What do spiders do?
Well, in the case of the black widow spider, what do they do after mating with the male, they kill the male, right?
I said, Andrea, you come off to me as a dominant, confident, in control, take no prisoners, persona.
So she ended up being complimented by it, but was unable to get there just by my calling her a spider.
A tarantula.
And I just chose tarantula because it goes with Tarantos, which is a real last name.
But I know that even telling you why I call her, you realize you know, of all the liberal caves and enclaves where they have people in their pajamas listening to this program, you realize how many of them are just outraged right now that I would even think this way?
That there is, and this is this is what Mr. Flynn's point is.
There aren't any men anymore.
Being a man is is a crime.
Being a man, being a man has been it's something that that the powerful institutions in the country are trying to weed out of her uh of our of our culture.
Because it's dangerous, it's predatory, it's brutish, it's barbaric.
And this is a direct descendant from the feminist movement.
Anyway, got to take a timeout, my friends.
Sit tight, open line Friday.
We'll start with your phone calls when we get back, so don't go anywhere.
Yeah, Andrea Tanteros.
I said Tarantos, it's Tanteros.
Tarantula Tanteros, Tarantos, hiosilver, doesn't matter.
Everybody knows who I'm talking about.
By the way, I just got pictures of the dentist and his wife.
But I didn't get them in time to print them to show you on the ditto cam.
So I will do that in the next break, and then in the next segment after this, I will show you the dentist and his wife and additional photos of the guilty employee.
No body shot, but I've got a picture of her with her baby.
Or with a baby.
Just a little infant there.
So, Okay, anyway, what's gonna say?
Uh more most adults always have smartphone close by.
One in ten use smartphone during sex.
They don't say how they're using it.
This is a story in the LA Times.
I'm sure there's an app for sex.
Probably a mirror app.
There's any number of uh uh apps for sex on the app.
600,000 apps, 750,000 apps in the app store now.
I have to tell you, I you know, I don't use the phone in bed, but I have to tell you something.
I love it.
I'm my it's not a phone, it's a pocket computer.
And I've got this uh, you know, I'm running the developer beta for the new iOS 7 on the on the iPhone, and I've I'm gonna tell you I it's it's amazing.
It is not I don't mean just the interface, it's the way it looks.
That's that's a massive change, but I mean the the the guts of this, I'm not gonna waste time telling you how.
I'm just telling it is it is serious innovation.
But I add I'm just I'm almost addicted to it.
It is absolutely gorgeous.
The new interface improves workflow, productivity, any way you use it, it's improved.
But I I also know, you know, speaking of men and women, I think this new operating system, iOS 7.
I'm hesitant to predict because I don't want to uh create any self-fulfilling prophecies, but there are going to be people who have trouble, even though the function doesn't change, the way you operate it doesn't change.
It's gonna look like it has to a lot of people are going to be intimidated by it at first.
But even those people are gonna end up loving it.
Now, I'm I told you they had a mirror app.
Snertley went to the app store, and he there's a mirror app.
There's a mirror app that you can use during sex if you are so inclined.
There's 750,000 apps in there.
Anyway, yeah, I was gonna take a I was gonna take a phone call here, I forgot it.
No, I didn't forget it.
I just didn't have time.
I've got to take a break now.
When we come back, I'll show you the additional pictures from Iowa.
It's Rush Limbaugh on the EIB network.
Okay, again, for those of you who have the dental cam, here is a close-up of the dentist and his wife.
This is the dentist who is legally allowed to fire his assistant of ten years because she's too attractive.
He might want to have an affair.
That's the dentist and the wife.
Here comes another picture of the employee, and that's with the infant.
Now I've sent these pictures up to rushlimbaugh.com.
I've sent them up to Coco Jr.
And he will put these pictures at rushlimbaugh.com or link to them, whatever we have to do, so that you who do not have the dental cam can see them.
And we'll be back, folks.
