Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Uh well.
Was that an education last night or what?
I need to know, ladies and gentlemen, um is it is it still permissible to speak English in this country without being accused of racism.
Is this is it is it possible to speak English without being told you're making fun of people?
Holy.
The embodiment of low information.
I mean, it was on display all over cable news last night.
I mean, no matter where you went.
And of course, we are here to synthesize it for you.
Synthesize it down to the bare elements, the bare essentials, L Rushbone.
Rush Limbaugh 800-282-2882, the email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Great to have you with us.
Okay, so the juror, B37 spoke on CNN.
The lovely and gracious Rachel Gentel appeared on CNN with Piers Morgan.
And she said something last night.
I fully expected to show up here at 12 noon being the last guy in on it.
I mean, she said something last night I thought would have been the number one thing people focused on in her interview last night.
I thought by the time this show started, the discussion on that would have been maxed out.
And it turns out that nobody's talking about it.
It turns out, ladies and gentlemen, once again, left to me, L Rushbow to take you there because others well, because the left has a real challenge on their hands here.
If this gets if if this happens to escape the boundaries of the Piers Morgan show last night, which I fully intend for that to happen here in just a minute, the left is gonna have a uh a decision to make.
So we'll get there in in due course.
Let's start with the um juror B-37 on, let's see.
This is uh yeah, well, we're not gonna start with your we're gonna have one soundbite from juror B-37, and that will take us to Rachel Gentel, who appeared last night with Piers Morgan.
So what happens here on Piers Morgan tonight, he interviews Trayvon Martin's friend Rachel Gentel, and during the interview, Piers Morgan played a clip from Anderson Cooper's interview earlier of juror B-37 reacting to Gentel's testimony.
I should say that the civil rights activists and many of the commentators on CNN this morning have been wringing their hands in in resignation, asking themselves where was this Rachel during the trial?
They were so impressed with Rachel last night on CNN that they were wondering why this Rachel didn't show up on the stand.
They're lamenting the loss.
They are lamenting how it might have been different if the Rachel of last night on Piers Morgan had appeared on the stand.
And they conclude that it was because the prosecution did a lousy job of bringing the real Rachel out of her shell.
But last night we got the real Rachel.
What do you think CNN paid for that interview?
What do you mean you're not supposed to pay?
You know that they do.
You know people pay.
I mean, everybody wanted Rachel.
What do you think it cost?
Let's not even go there.
Let's let's just let's just let's just go to the uh audio sound bites, shall we?
That's that's my guess.
That's what I think it cost them.
I just told Snergly and the gang in there what I think it costs CNN.
No, no, no, no, no, McNuggets wouldn't be enough.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
Um we have a juror B-37, Piers Morgan playing a soundbite of the juror earlier on CNN for Rachel Gentel, because the juror is reacting to uh Rachel Gentel, and then Piers Morgan gets Gentel's reaction to it.
So here we go.
A lot of the times she was using phrases I have never heard before and what they meant.
When she used the phrase creepy ass cracker.
What did you think of that?
I thought it was probably the truth.
I think Trayvon probably said that.
And did you see that as a a negative statement or a racial statement as the defense suggested?
I don't think it's really racial.
I think it's just everyday life, the type of life that they live and how they're living in the environment that they're living in.
What's your reaction to that?
Well, the jury, they see their fat.
Not offense to the jury.
They all.
That's old school people.
We ain't a new school.
Our generation.
My generation.
God help us.
God help us.
So Rachel says the juries, they see their fact, none offense to the jury.
They old.
That's old school people.
We in a new school, our generation, my generation.
Now, all day today, CNN has had their pseudo-intellectual analysts and guests on commenting on this, and what you and further other comments.
And they are impressed as they can be with Rachel.
This Rachel.
That's why they wish this Rachel had shown up on the trial.
The day old Rachel.
That's right.
The jury day old, that's old school.
We in the new school, my generation, none offense to the jury.
They wish that Rachel had shown up because that the Rachel last night's brilliant.
Rachel last night's a genius.
And well, I don't know.
I don't know what the difference is.
You just listen to her and you'll maybe be hear the difference.
Okay, so now after Rachel has explained or reacted to the uh the the juror B-37, Piers Morgan said, okay, let's talk about now.
This is CNN.
This used to be the nation's leading cable news network.
This used to be the only cable news network.
This used to be a highly respected cut above news organization.
CNN used to have within the realm of the business that they are in, a really great reputation.
Now they've always been liberally biased like everybody else in the media is, but they nevertheless had a tremendous reputation until they were faced with competition, and then it began to fade.
But last night, Piers Morgan said to Rachel Gentel, let's talk about creepy ass cracker.
People have said that that is a phrase used by black people, cracker, to describe a white person.
Is that true?
No.
Like I said.
How do you spell it, first of all?
Cracker.
Well, you could put it.
There's no ER, right?
It's no, it's an A at the end.
C-R-A-C-K-A.
Yeah.
And that's a person who act like they're a police who like uh circuit are who acting like that's what I said to them.
Turn you want to say creepy ass cracker.
So last night on CNN, we're blessed with the definition of the term creepy ass cracker.
Well, that's the point we learned that you don't spell cracker with an ER in this usage.
Uh It's cracker.
Kind of like gangster versus gangster cracker.
That's old school.
Cracker new school.
New generation, cracker.
Uh creepy ass, cracker.
That's new school.
That's new generation.
Creep.
Creepy ass cracker.
Ah.
That's embarrassing.
That just sounds too.
That's that's just not you don't do that.
Okay, so now we've learned that creepy ass cracker here on CNN.
That that is a person who act like they are a police.
Who like a security guard who acting like that's what I said to them.
Trayvon said creepy ass cracker.
So from this, thank you to CNN, we have learned that Trayvon Martin called Rachel Gentel and said I'm being pursued by this creepy nuts.
Folks, stick with me on this.
Stick with me.
Keep your eyes on the radio.
CNN informs us via Rachel Gentel that Trayvon called Rachel and said that he was being followed by a creepy ass cracker, which we have now learned that is a person acting like they are a police, who like a security guard.
So then Piers Morgan, the ever penetrating inquisitor, said, So was there anything you wished you had said when you were in there?
Meaning as a witness on the stand.
Why?
People, the whole worse is a racist word.
That was not, they changed it around, I think.
Start spelling N-I-G-G-A.
Nigga.
What does that mean to you?
That that way of spelling it.
What does that word mean to you?
That means a male.
A black male?
No, any kind of male.
Black or what?
Black any kind.
Chinese can say nigger.
That's my Chino nigga.
They could say that.
This was uh between nine and ten PM last night on CNN.
Who is in a quest to become the again most respected news organization in the country, perhaps even the world.
So nigga with an A on the end.
Well, I think I can now.
Isn't that the point?
Because it's not racist.
That's the point.
I could be talking about a male.
I could be a Chinese male.
A guy at the laundromat.
I could be talking about a man.
That's what she said it means.
So hey.
New school.
New school.
She is the authority.
This is the point, snurdley.
She is the authority.
She was on CNN last night.
She was presented as the authority.
And the CNN commentators all day today have been wondering why this brilliant woman didn't show up and say these things on the stand.
They're deeply troubled.
That they didn't get this Rachel in the trial.
This Rachel, as far as CNN's analysts are concerned, would have made the difference in the verdict.
You know what else they're all up?
So this juror, B37, in a separate interview with the Anderson Cooper, said that race never came up in the deliberations.
And I have to t they are livid.
The civil rights coalition In this country, the media, the Democrat, they are just every left in this country, leftist is livid, that the subject, the topic of race, wasn't even mentioned in deliberations.
They are outraged.
They are beside themselves.
Now, stick, folks, hang in there, hang in there, be tough.
There is one more.
And this to me is what I expected to be hearing.
Well, when this was said last night, I thought that's it.
This is this is all anybody is going to be talking about.
And by the time 12 noon comes, it'll have been all talked about.
And it turns out nobody's talking about this.
And this is the whole thing right here.
This is it.
Piers Morgan says to Rachel Gentel, but you felt that there was no doubt in your mind from what Trayvon was telling you on the phone about the creepy ass cracker and so on, that he absolutely believed that George Zimmerman, this man, you didn't know who he was at the time.
This man, George Zimmerman, was pursuing him, and he was freaked out by it.
Why?
Yes.
Definitely I thought I say it might be a rapist.
For every boy's every man, every who's not that kind of way.
See a grown man following them.
Will they be creep out?
So you gotta take as a parent.
When you tell your child, when you see a grown person following, run away and all that.
Do you understand, ladies and gentlemen, what she just said.
Let me spell it out for you.
When Trayvon described Zimmerman to her, creepy ass cracker, she began to fear that Zimmerman was gay.
A rapist.
She then told Trayvon to run, run, run.
She just said so.
After I say may be a rapist, that means she said to Trayvon, this guy could be gay.
He could be a rapist.
He might want to rape you.
You run, Trayvon, run for every boy, every man who's not that kind of way.
I mean, everybody who's straight.
See a grown man following them, would you be creep out?
She's telling us the reason Trayvon Martin descended on Zimmer Mr. Depomli because he was offended.
He thought because of what she said to him, and Zimmerman was gay.
Zimmerman got beat up because Trayvon was gay.
That's what she's saying here.
What else?
What is the other interpretation?
What other interpretation is there?
So I thought, well, boy, the left is going to have a real problem here.
They're going to have to balance which group are they going to favor?
Gays or blacks.
Because here you had Zimmerman was assumed to be gay.
This woman told Trayvon, run, dude, you got creepy ass cracker rapist following you.
Run, run, run.
Anybody be creep out by that.
Trayvon's not a kind of guy that runs, but Trayvon was mad.
So come creepy ass cracker rapist coming after him, okay, give him what for.
And so we have Trayvon Martin, who the media has made practically an angel.
We now find from no less than Rachel Gentel started beating up on Zimmerman because he thought, based on what Gentel said, he might be gay.
So Trayvon Martin, this angel, the recipient of all the love and support from the left-wing media, the Democrat Party, the left in general, actually is a gay basher.
And I thought, my gosh, this is gonna this is gonna captivate the news, and then the left is gonna have to make a decision here.
Who do they actually end up supporting?
So, ladies and gentlemen, based on Rachel Gentel, this sweet, funny, engaging person on CNN last night.
George Zimmerman wasn't a racist.
He was a homosexual predator.
She said it.
She essentially said she warned Trayvon to run, run, run.
That he'd be creeped out by this.
She also said gay men go after children.
She said people need to understand he didn't want that creepy ass cracker going to his father or his girlfriend's house to go get, mind you, his little brother is there.
Trayvon didn't want this creepy ass cracker following him home where his little brother is.
This isn't about race, folks.
This was not at all about race.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
Heavy more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
An entirely new perspective on this whole sordid incident was provided by Rachel Gentel last night on CNN.
Everybody's been under the impression that this thing Zimmerman was a racist, and that's why he went after Trayvon.
I went to great lengths yesterday, folks, to break this down and tell you what I think this was really all about.
And I'm not gonna repeat that, but it is at Rushlinbaugh.com.
Essentially it was about economics.
You've got a bunch of people in this in this community that are barely hanging on.
They've worked very hard to get where they are, and there's all kinds of robberies and things, and they just they're tired of being stolen from, and they've got neighborhood watch and so forth.
And it it's it's about the Obama economy.
But the media and everybody has been since this happened.
Zimmerman white racist, you know as well as I do.
They've been doing everything they can to portray this as Zimmerman chasing a guy because he was black.
Well, Zimmerman's the guy that got beaten up in this.
Everybody forgets that.
Zimmerman is the guy who got beat up.
Now we know why.
From a witness for the prosecution who was on CNN last night, Rachel Gentel.
Race wasn't even a factor.
When she was asked to define creepy ass cracker.
And uh N I G G A, it wasn't racial.
Not one definition she gave for any of these terms being used had to do with race.
Creepy ass cracker, that's a police.
N I G G A, that's a male.
You gotta say N-I-G-G-E-R to make it racist.
There wasn't any race.
The jury didn't deliberate race.
The race aspect is totally manufactured by the media.
So listen to Rachel Gentel's answer to Piers Morgan again.
The question, but you felt there was no doubt in your mind from what Trayvon was telling you on the phone about the creepy ass cracker, the police, and so on, that he absolutely believed it Zimmerman.
He didn't know who he was at the time, but this man Zimmerman was pursuing him and was freaked out by it.
And so Piers Morgan is asking Rachel Gentel, why was why was Trayvon Martin freaked out?
Now everybody has been led to believe that Trayvon was freaked out because some white guy was chasing him.
But let's be honest, Zimmerman's not a white guy.
It was raining, it's nighttime.
He's dark complexed, he's an Hispanic.
This white Hispanic is a media creation.
There wasn't any racial component here, folks.
This is what's crucially important.
The racial component is a pure media fabrication because of the existence of their narrative that this nation is still essentially a slave state.
The Trayvon Martin wasn't thinking about race.
And we know this because Rachel Gentel talked to him.
So again, Piers Morgan's question.
But you felt there was no doubt in your mind from what Trayvon was telling you on the phone about the creepy ass cracker that he absolutely believes Zimmerman, this man that you didn't know who he was at the time.
This man was pursuing him.
He's freaked out by it.
Why was he freaked out by it, Rachel?
Yes.
Definitely I thought I say it might be a rapist.
For every boy's every man, every who's not that kind of way.
See a grown man following them.
Would they be creep out?
So you got to take it as a parent.
When you tell your child, when you see a grown person fall, run away and all that.
Folks, there's no race in there.
There's no inference.
You can't infer race from what she said.
And there's certainly no racial implication that she made.
Well, here's what she said.
Definitely after I say to him, she's talking, she's she's reporting and recounting her telephone call.
Definitely after I say to Trayvon, Zimmerman might be a rapist.
I'm translating for you.
Zimmerman might be a rapist.
That makes him gay.
He's a guy, folks.
Male rapist.
Rachel is telling Zimmerman, this guy's chasing him.
He doesn't know why he's chasing him.
Rachel's maybe a rapist, Trayvon.
Then she said, for every boy's or every man, every who's not that kind of way, that means who's not gay.
You see a grown man following him, you be creep out.
So she was saying Trayvon is straight.
He's got this adult male chasing him.
She's put the idea that this adult male might be a rapist, and Trayvon be creeped out by being chased by a gay guy.
And then she went further.
So you got to take it as a parent when you tell your child when you see a grown person following you run away and all that.
Grown person, not racial, not white person, grown person.
You a kid.
As a parent, you tell your child, run away.
Then she also said, People need to understand.
Trayvon didn't want that creepy ass cracker going to his father or girlfriend's house to go get, mind you, his little brother is there.
You need me to translate that.
Okay.
She has put in Trayvon's mind that Zimmerman is gay.
Zimmerman might be a rapist.
And a predator.
What are we to think?
Grown man, when she says Trayvon's a male, Zimmerman's a male, she says rapist, what are we talking about here?
We're talking about a gay predator.
She has put the idea in Trayvon's mark, Trayvon Martin's head that this might be a gay predator chasing him.
Then she said on Piers Morgan last night, people need to understand Trayvon didn't want that creepy ass Kracker going to his father or girlfriend.
Trayvon staying at his father's girlfriend's house.
And she is saying people need to understand Trayvon didn't want Zimmerman, that creepy ass cracker potential rapist, go into his father or girlfriend's house to go get.
Then she paused and said, mind you, his little brother is in there.
So she was saying that Trayvon wouldn't want this gay predator chasing him down to his house where there is a little kid inside.
Nowhere in any of this is race mentioned.
Gentel also said this about Zimmerman being a rapist on the witness stand under oath.
It wasn't just last night with Piers Morgan on CNN.
She also alluded to this.
So folks, do you we we have been, the country has been entirely fooled.
There was not.
The jury wasn't, by the way.
There was no racial component in this at all.
Rachel Gentel didn't talk about race.
She wasn't talking about race at all.
She wasn't worried.
She didn't tell Trayvon to run away from a white guy.
Creepy ass cracker is police.
So maybe, in their mind, Zimmerman is a gay male predator hiding behind a badge, which gives him access to little boys.
I mean, this is the way certain people think, and we already know that she believed Zimmerman was a rapist or potential rapist, and put that thought in Trayvon's head, and Trayvon didn't run around or run away.
He turned around and started beating up on Zimmerman.
Not because Zimmerman was a white Hispanic.
He didn't even know what he I mean, dark, rainy Zimmerman's dark complexed too.
This is this the race angle in this has been absurd from the get-go.
So essentially, Rachel was saying when she says people need to understand, he didn't want that creepy ass cracker going to his father girlfriend's house to get, well, mind you, his little brothers there.
She is saying that this guy might have gone after this rapist after finishing with Treyvon might then go after his little brother.
She told Treyvon to run, run, run.
I thought when I heard this last night, that that's all anybody be talking about today.
Because this throws this thing 180 degrees out of phase.
And so now Trayvon Martin, who is the recipient of full-fledged 100% victim status, turns out could well be a gay basher.
And the left has been defending him.
So what do they do?
They got two interest groups here that they represent and champion.
African Americans and homosexuals.
And in this incident, the object of their affection, in this case, Trayvon Martin, might have thought he was being pursued by a gay guy and beat him up, or tried to.
So I figured it'd be very conflicted today.
But that hasn't come up anywhere.
Now I think understand why.
It's precisely because nobody wants to get near it.
Nobody wants to get anywhere near this.
Those words of Rachel's gone into the ether, never to be remembered until the EIB network kicked off at noon.
Now let's one soundbite here before we go to the obscene profit break.
This morning on CNN's newsroom, the anchor et Carol Costello is speaking with uh criminal defense attorney Mark Nazami about Martin's friend Rachel Gentel's appearance on Piers Morgan Live.
This is one of the well-educated pseudo-intellectual analysts that CNN offer today, talking about how wonderful Gentel is.
And they were just filled with sadness that she had not appeared this way on the stand.
So Carol Costello said to Mark Najami, if the jurors had seen the Rachel Gentel that was on Piers Morgan last night explaining the definition of Kraka, explaining the definition of uh N I G G A, uh creepy ass, uh cracker and all that.
If the jury had seen that Rachel instead of the Rachel at trial, could it have made a difference, Mark?
Could it, could it?
Could have made a difference.
This is just another failure on behalf of the state to properly represent Trayvon Martin.
That woman last night was a sweet, funny, engaging person.
That's anything but what people saw when she took the stand.
People need to understand that we do have a cultural divide.
And in fact, what the jurors saw when she appeared on the stand was because of her, in my opinion, her lack of preparedness by the state attorney who prosecuted this case.
That woman last night, if she had been on the stand and the juror would have seen that, they would have come away with a completely different impression, in my opinion, about who Trayvon Martin really was.
Yeah, I'm gonna tell you something, Mark.
If you had really been listening to what Rachel Gentel said on Piers Morgan, you would be re-examining the entire way you're looking at this event.
I'm gonna grab this phone caller in just a second.
I um folks, I need to warn you of something.
Um this is the last time you will hear Rachel Gentel speak this way.
She she will not repeat this.
This the some the the next time, if there is one, the next time that Rachel appears on TV, she won't say this way again.
Steps will be taken to ensure that she doesn't say this this way.
Again.
Oh, that won't be hard.
That won't be hard.
Snartley says, how are they gonna control what comes out of that?
That is gonna be hard.
Fear, any number of things.
That won't be hard.
Here's uh here's Fred Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Hi, Fred.
Great to have you up first on the program today.
Hello.
Uh hey, I just had a couple of questions for you.
One, okay, uh, is it against the law to walk from the store to your parents' house at night in the right?
No.
It's not, right?
Okay, second.
All right, if somebody approaching you had not identified themselves or what what you know they were, uh, what would you do?
Well, I don't know.
Till it happens.
I'm I'm you're you're asking me a bunch of hypotheticals.
I don't know what I would say.
I've been listening to your show for a while, by the way.
But yesterday you said um, well, uh, Trayvon, it's a Trayvonette.
He smoked marijuana.
He he did all this stuff, uh, he got in trouble in school and stuff like that.
Did George Zimmerman know all that when he approached this young man?
The 16-year-old.
No, you know, 21-day old man.
He didn't he did not know anything about it.
Fred, I'm gonna be very honest with you here.
People like you are a problem.
Everything I said yesterday is a fact.
And you're taking it out of context.
I don't know the way you hear things.
You might have heard it out of context.
Everything I said yesterday was a fact.
I was sharing with you, in fact, not even my opinion, the opinion of a man named Robert Stacy McCain about what happened to Trayvon when he was down at the high school in Florida, and how they had if they had punished him properly, this all might not have happened.
Everybody's got their opinions on this.
I shared with you one man's, and he detailed the problems that Trayvon had gotten into.
I didn't utter those problems as justification for Zimmerman to do what he did.
Didn't get anywhere near there.
You just heard it that way because that's what you thought I was doing.
I didn't do anything but other facts.
I didn't do anything today but utter facts.
Zimmerman was a member of the neighborhood watch.
That's what neighborhood watch people do.
This neighborhood had experienced a lot of robberies.
They're barely holding on to what they've got.
Zimmerman was out trying to do whatever he could to make sure there weren't any more robberies.
Pure and simple.
You get mad at me because I'm pointing things out, but you you're just getting mad at fact, and you're making extrapolations or interpretations that I didn't make nor intend.
And I'm not trying to distract anybody.
I'm the mayor of Realville.
And what I mean by that is I live in the world of reality.
And the truth is all I care about.
And we'll be back after this, folks.
Don't go away.
He who must be listened to.
He who must be listened to.
That would be Nate Silver of the New York Times.
What in the world are you laughing at in there?
Are you still watching MSNBC?
Is it?
Anyway, Nate Silver of the New York Times says that it's it's it's conceivable now that the Republicans could win the Senate in 2014.
