Time Text
And we are back, ladies and gentlemen.
Right back at it here behind the Golden EIB microphone on the left coast of the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Always remember, as long as I'm here, it doesn't really matter.
We're here is.
Live from the left coast at our satellite studios in Los Angeles.
It's open line Friday.
One big exciting busy broadcast hour remains, my friends, and the telephone number if you'd like to be on the program is 800 282882.
And the email address lrushbow at EIB net.com.
Open line Friday, whatever you want to talk about, fine and dandy.
And we've had some examples.
What that means?
It doesn't have to be about the news of the day.
It can vary from that.
There won't be any penalty and nobody will think any less of you.
If you want to talk about something that has nothing to do with a daily media soap opera script.
You see where Donald Sterling is now trying the Clinton defense.
Oh!
How many of you have now seen the story of the boycott out here of the Beverly Hills Hotel?
That you heard about on this program earlier in the weather with Jay Leno's showing up there and protesting.
They've turned that place into a ghost town out here because the Sultan of Brunei has imposed Sharia law in Brunei.
The Sultan of Brunei owns the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Dorchester Group, uh Dorchester's in London, owns the Bel Air Hotel here, the Beverly, uh Beverly Hills Hotel.
It's where the polo lounge is.
And the uh it's a ghost town, supposedly.
Nobody's going there.
All these people that uh had their events planned there canceling them.
And because the gay community found out that Sharia law, gays get stoned to death.
It's been the case for hundreds of years, they just found out.
So that has finally hit the big nationwide news, and you may have heard about that first here.
And Donald Sterling is now trying the Clinton defense, and I'm not kidding.
There's a new audio tape that has been published by radar.com.
And on the audio tape, Donald Sterling is heard saying, I'm talking to a girl.
I'm trying to have sex with her.
He's explaining this to a longtime friend in a recently recorded phone conversation obtained by radar.
Yeah, I'm just trying to play with her.
If you were if you were trying to have sex with a girl and you're talking to her privately, uh, and you don't think anybody's there, you might say anything in the world.
This is what's on the latest Sterling tape.
So you see, the Clinton defense just about sex.
That's all it was.
It was just an old codger who knows he's an old codger trying to talk the young skirt into sex.
Nothing more than what Bill Clinton did with Monica Lewinsky.
So can't we move on and let Mr. Sterling get on with the business of running the Clippers?
Because I'm sure the thinking in the Clinton camp or in the Sterling camp, hey, it worked for Bill Clinton.
We've got we're reliving the Monica Lewinsky story here, and in that case of sexual abuse, the abuser is triumphing.
Can you imagine how ticked off Sterling has to be watching this?
From the website this week, why female friendly restaurants are making women unhappy?
Have you ever heard of a female-friendly restaurant?
I hadn't.
Well, you would think that the theoretically they're all female friendly, but no, by female friendly, I mean designed and conceived.
Uh as a restaurant friendly to whip.
See, the assumption is that everything out there is for men, and women are just tagging along.
And so it's time that women were thought of first.
So a few years ago, Eva Longoria opened a steakhouse for women, and it was named She.
Capital A S Capital H small E. In a press release, Longoria said that the restaurant world, I'm sorry, the restaurant would create a feeling of empowerment for women and challenge the notion that steakhouses are a place for men.
Now why get mad at that?
Why in the world get upset that there are steakhouses?
And why get upset that men like to go there?
Well, if you're feminazi, you have to live in a perpetual state of being upset at everything that men do.
Because your assumption is that it's all meant to exclude you, the woman.
And so Eva Longori.
I always thought Chick-fil-A was a female friendly place until I knew what it was.
So this restaurant, she opened its doors on New Year's Eve 2012.
And you know what all that empowerment female empowerment at a steakhouse at a restaurant.
So what was that?
Well, the portions were smaller.
They were she sized steak portions, probably the same price.
And get this, there were mirrors on the dessert menus so that women could happily reapply their lipstick without having to go to the powder.
I'm not kidding you.
The dessert menu had mirrors on it.
That's said to be not just female friendly, but female empowerment.
And there was also the main attraction at Evan Longoria's restaurant was a catwalk where women in scanty clothing perform for the restaurant's female and male guests.
They should have just it should have put a poll in there and just done pole dances like the Sopranos did.
But it was all this stuff disguised as fashion shows, you see.
But Eva Longoria's restaurant's not the only one that has drawn criticism for invoking gender stereotypes under the guise of being female friendly.
The international steakhouse chain STK received backlash after posting a female-friendly promotional video that featured sexist images of stilettoed women feeding each other steak.
A pink sports bar in Union Square, New York hit every feminist's nerve when the owner said we did a softer design because we wanted to make it very inviting for women so they don't feel like they're sitting in a men's kind of club, so everything was pink.
Last year, when the bachelorette's Chris Bukowski opened the bracket room, a female-friendly sports bar in Arlington, Virginia, the Washington City paper reporter Jessica Sidman chided the bar and other similar restaurants, writing small plates, sexy decor.
If this is what these restaurants believe women want, their target audience should be insulted.
Well, it was women that designed these other places.
But this the whole idea here is that run around, first you get ticked off that these places are designed for men.
So in the modern era of feminism, what do you do?
You take over.
And you try to infiltrate that world rather than creating your own.
It just, it's, it's I just think it's absurd.
Thinking all the way around is just typical of people that are miserable and unhappy because the bottom line is well, never, I'm not even going to go to the bottom line.
This is the next why are so many white men trying to save the planet without the rest of us.
This is Suzanne Goldenberg writing at the UK Guardian.com.
Climate change affects minorities and women, the elderly and the poor, but the leadership of the environmentalist wacko movement is pale and male.
That doesn't look like progress.
And she's literally ticked off that there aren't any women in the climate change movement.
And that there aren't any female scientists out There, and she's feeling left out and excluded.
This I like.
This I I f I like the Feminazis turning on leftists.
I love the Feminazis turning gender liberalism on themselves.
What?
Women are going to make climate change softer?
Are women going to eliminate climate change because they're more prone to agreement?
From the article, take a look at the top executives at eight of the top ten climate groups.
Sierra Club, white male.
Nature Conservancy, white male.
League of Conservation Voters, White Mail.
World Wildlife Fund, White Male.
I'm not kidding you.
This in the article.
Environmental Defense Fund, white male.
Friends of the Earth, white male.
National Audubon Society, white male.
Nature Conservancy, white male.
The very top of Big Green is as white and male as a Tea Party meetup.
He doesn't look like change.
It doesn't even look like America.
So is it any wonder environmentalist wacko groups are having trouble connecting with the public on climate change?
There are a lot of women in the Tea Party leadership, by the way, uh, Ms. Goldenberg.
You want to know the truth.
A lot of women in the Tea Party movement.
And one other story devoted exclusively to women.
Women who never sunbathe during the summer are twice as likely to die than those who sunbathe every day, according to a major study.
Researchers at the Karolinske Institute in Sweden claim that guidelines which advise people to stay out of the sun unless wearing sunscreen may be harming the population.
Avoiding sunshine could kill you.
Women who never sunbathe during the summer twice as likely to die than those who sunbathe every day.
The new research, which followed nearly 30,000 women over 20 years, suggests that women who stay out of the sun are at increased risk of skin melanomas and are twice as likely to die from any cause, including cancer, all from staying out of the sun.
And the key there is vitamin D. They're not getting any.
So this is sort of like the saturated fat story that I just loved the other day, where medical science has found after decades and decades that they were dead wrong.
That eating steak and butter and eggs and cheese does not cause hardening of the arteries.
It does not cause high cholesterol, and it doesn't cause heart disease.
They can't prove it.
After decades of research, they're disappointed they can't.
But now how many, for who knows how many years have been told, don't go to this, oh my God, don't get this over this sun, it's a killer.
How many people have been doing this?
And now those people are saying, guess what?
We're wrong.
Just classic.
The sun.
Nothing we can do about it.
It's there.
And just like what we exhale, that's gonna kill us.
The sun, that's gonna kill us.
All these leftists just totally consumed with death.
Now when I look at the environmentalist wacko movement, that shakedown racket, I don't think white male, I think black male, as in M-A-I-L.
But this babe is so obsessed that the environmentalist wacko movement is now sexist.
And you have to just love it, turning their old liberalism on themselves.
Be right back.
Your guiding light through times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, disasters, lies, distortions, bouts of depression, and even the good times.
El Rushbow here serving humanity simply by showing up.
Again, the latest from Donald Sterling, a new tape.
Recently discovered by Radar Online, he was just trying to get V. Stiviano in bed.
Just wanted to have a little sex.
And when you're an old guy trying to do that, you'll pretty much say anything.
So it was just about sex.
And it didn't affect his leadership of the Clippers.
Why they're in the playoffs?
What harm could there have been?
Worked for Bill Clinton.
Well, the left is not taking kindly to this.
Last night on CNN's special report, the host Don Lemons spoke with senior legal analyst Jeffrey Tubin about Donald Sterling and his impact.
And also the impact of the lifetime ban on other sports.
And so the reason for this is Richard Sherman, the quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks, was asked after he signed a contract extension if he thought the NFL would ban an owner similar to Sterling if one surfaced.
And Sherman said, no, there's no way.
We already have an NFL team call the Redskins, and the NFL doesn't care.
NFL, they're not nearly as concerned as they show.
The NFL is more of a bottom line league.
If it doesn't affect their bottom line, they're not as concerned.
So Don Lemon wanted to know if Jeffrey Tubin, the CNN legal analyst, thought that Richard Sherman was right.
I think Sherman's right.
I think it is unconscionable that the Washington football team is called what it's called.
It is just a bigoted term.
It is not something that is accepted to use in polite or impolite company, and the fact that the NFL has not cracked down on Dan Snyder, who is, by the way, nearly as awful an owner as Don Sterling, I think is a disgrace.
The NFL is a very conservative league in every sense of the word.
All right, now I'm sorry, but Redskins fans talk about the Redskins multiple thousands of times a day, every day in this country.
And nobody is offended when they do it.
And yet he just said here it's a term it's not accepted in use in polite or impolite company.
We talk about the Redskins all the time during football season on this program.
Every Redskins fans talks about the fan talks about the Redskins.
But the big question is, why now?
Why didn't anybody care about this one year ago, five years ago, ten years ago?
This is how the media soap opera works.
Jeffrey Tubin never said about this ten years ago.
The Redskins have been the Redskins for how many decades?
It's like McCain the other day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think and it's bad.
Anyway, change your name.
Yeah, Redskins.
Why?
It's as everybody getting caught up in the inertia of the moment of the day.
Here's how you prove that you are not a bad person to the media or the left today.
Somebody has decided Redskins has to go.
And it becomes the cause celeb of the day.
Every leftist gets on board.
Whereas not that long ago, they couldn't have cared less.
And now Dan Snyder, who is, by the way, nearly as awful an owner as Sterling.
Did he really intend to say that?
Wow.
That is that nobody thinks that.
Sterling's in a league all in all his own.
He's in a class all his own.
Whatever the class, it doesn't take long to call a roll.
The class that Sterling's in Snyder is uh is not in it.
Well, by the way, Grant run forward to something like 14.
A lot of people upset the NFL draft was delayed.
Two years, or two weeks this year, two weeks beyond what they normally have it, and now we know why.
Yesterday, live with Kelly Ripper, Michael Strahand, the commissioner of the NFL Roger Goodell.
Kelly Rip has said draft days happening over Mother's Day weekend.
You have anything special planned for the moms of these star athletes?
We sure do.
We have 30 players going to be drafted this weekend.
And 29 of them brought their moms.
Right.
And so they'll all be walking the red carpet with him tonight.
That is great.
Are you are we did they move the draft to the Mother's Day weekend to attract female viewers?
Is that been the thinking of this?
By the way, Lamar Arrington, former linebacker for the Redskins noticed all the tears on stage.
Open line Friday back to the phones.
This is Melissa in Omaha.
Welcome to the program.
Great to have you here.
Hi.
It is such an honor, Mr. Limbaugh, to talk to you.
I've been listening to you since I was about twelve years old.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
Um the reason I'm calling is it seems to me that a lot of people are um confused on what Marxism, communism, liberalism, and socialism and how they all work together and what they are.
Um I think the easiest way for me to understand it when I was learning in school was to read Animal Farm by George Orwell.
It puts it in very easy terms to understand, and it shows how it trickles down and affects everybody, not everybody's equal in um a Marxist socialism socialistic um society.
And it puts it in kind of a cartoon way to see that.
Do you like Animal Farm better than 1984?
Uh 1984 was a little hard for me to read.
Oh, really?
I had a little difficulty getting through it.
To be honest.
That's amazing.
You know, Orwell is such a celebrated guy, and uh and and what he what he in many cases wrote was an indictment of the uh of the left, and yet they they seldom trash the guy.
Um at least at least not that I've seen him.
And house, that's not a bad recommendation.
I have to hand it to you, not a bad recommendation.
My my kids are seven years old.
Um, I have a set of twins.
And um what's really interesting in our household is I'm a very conservative Republican and my hum my husband's a Democrat liberal.
And so we have some very interesting discussions in our household, and what's really interesting is my seven-year-old son tends to lean towards my side of thinking, um, and my daughter just doesn't pay attention.
But um the one thing that they have paid attention to is the reading of Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrim, and I am so grateful.
You're kidding.
You're kidding.
Both of them are paying attention to that.
Yes, they absolutely love it.
Um they both find it very fascinating that it was actually a real time in place, and that was very important for me to make them understand that everything that was happening was real time in place, and that even though Rush Revere and Liberty were fictional characters, everybody else was not.
Well, God bless you.
That is that is perfect.
Thank you very much.
So we do a lot of reading in our house, and I think it's written very well.
Um I'm looking at getting um Rush Revere and the First Patriots.
Um they asked if there were any more books out, and I said, Yeah, one just came out.
Um, and so um we're looking at getting that, and they absolutely are in all.
Well, let me tell you about that one.
In that one, you know, in Rush Revere and the First Patriots, exactly why you like Animal Farm is uh key ingredient in the second, but not in the political sense, but Rush Revere finds his way to George the Third's palace and asks asks him why in the world are you treating the American colonists this way?
It was it was my attempt to explain to young readers how Marxism, social com totalitarianism, authoritarianism, how it works, who's behind it, why they do it, what how it affects people in in a in a way that the the you know eight, ten, seven, ten, twelve-year-old uh kids could understand and and maybe relate to today as they as they get older.
Uh that was that was fun to write, but I've got to ask you it sounds like Rush Revere and the uh Brave Pilgrims uniting your family, but you didn't mention your husband on this.
Where's your husband come down on the kids reading the book?
He is very open.
Um he wants them to be able to form their own opinions.
Um we present them with the information and then they they're allowed to form their own opinions based on the information presented.
Well, that that that's good.
That is that's that's surprising.
It's good.
He and I don't always see eye to eye, I have to tell you.
We have some very interesting discussions in our house.
Well, I wouldn't think so if he's a liberal and you're a conservative.
I would think that you wouldn't see eye to eye on a lot.
Yes.
Politically.
So but what's cool is your your daughter who doesn't what did you say she's not paying attention is because of this book?
Yes.
Yes.
It actually caught her interest.
Um it was something that caught her interest.
The talking horse liberty is actually what brought her into the book, and she was actually able to comprehend what we were talking about.
Hallelujah.
That's great.
You know, you you must allow me to send you the uh Rush Revere and the First Patriots.
I know you're not angling for a freebie.
I can hear it in your voice.
No, I'm really, really not.
I wanted to know you understand how much appreciate this book.
I would love to send it and hope your husband opens it when it arrives.
That would be great.
We would we would totally enjoy that.
Well, I do and I'll I'll throw an audio versions unabridged read by me of uh of both.
It is another way to experience the books after having read them.
But uh that's awesome.
That that's that's terrific.
I thank you very much, Melissa, and and all the best to you.
Now don't hang up because Mr. Snerdley needs to get an address from you so we can send the stuff out to you as quickly as we can get to it.
Uh this is Tanya next in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I um I was on hold, I looked up the Evo and Gora restaurant, and I don't know that you mentioned this, but I saw that the health inspectors actually closed the restaurant down for 21 demerits on Wednesday, according to CBS for food temperature being off.
But the uh reason that I Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold it, hold it, hold it just a second.
You you that you went by Ligety Split.
Did you just say that you hadn't heard about so you looked it up and you they the health inspectors closed it down for 21 demerits?
CBS said the food temperature was off.
Yes, that's what it says, according to CBS, Las Vegas um on the internet when I Googled it.
So I am shocked, I'm stuck.
This is a restaurant for women.
Well, it says how the the caption says health inspections close evil and gorgeous strip restaurant.
They're calling it a strip restaurant.
And um, and then it goes on to say for 21 demerits related to keeping food temperature proper.
Strip restaurant or restaurant on the strip.
They said strip restaurant.
Well, it says trip restaurant, because you know they do have these scantily clad women walking around and they're parading themselves while women are looking at mirrors on the dessert menu.
Yeah, I wanted to bring up about the dessert menu when you first brought that up.
I thought that is a terrible uh I mean, while I understand they're trying to, you know, distinguish yourself and create a brand and find some ways to distinguish themselves with the whole mirror thing.
It's just really much of a gag.
But for me, I thought it was a counterintuitive gag because if you put a a mirror on a uh a dessert menu, me as a female, the first thing I'm gonna think is I don't want to dessert, I look fat.
Like I want to stay looking good, so I'm not gonna be able to do that.
Well, but what if what if the menu is sort of con convex so that the women don't look fat in it?
You they could do that.
It's the whole like the if when I'm like trying to talk myself out of buying like some horrible dessert in the grocery store.
Hey, Tanya.
If I if I look at a fat person, then I don't want it.
If I look at a thinner, more attractive female, then I don't want it.
I can easily talk myself out of the dessert.
Well, I can understand that.
But I always thought that the trip to the powder room was not to go to the powder room, but to get away from the men.
And the menu on the dessert menu eliminates that excuse to get up and leave a table walk around.
But we have just been informed.
Wait, what is your source in there for this?
Okay, so the uh Tanya, the restaurant's back open.
They just closed it down for a day.
I guess they had to go in there and just lower the thermostat so that the food didn't spoil.
I was gonna say, you know, here's a restaurant, four women designed by a woman, supposedly four women.
And that kind of inattention, that'd be bad.
But I understand the restaurant is uh is now open in all its glory.
Tanya, thanks for the call.
I've got to take a timeout here, folks, but there's much more when we get back, so don't go away.
Okay, quickly back to the NFL draft.
Uh couple of sound bites.
Last night NFL network coverage 2014 NFL draft.
We have a montage.
Uh ladies and gentlemen, we got uh Commissioner Roger Goodell, we got Rich Eisen, Deion Sanders, uh Jadeavion Clowney, uh, during the draft.
And this is to uh illustrate that the coverage was dominated by a lot of crying.
There was a lot of crying, many, many tears on stage at the NFL draft.
With the first pick in the 2014 NFL draft, the Houston Texans select Jadavian Clowney.
Defensive end, South Carolina.
So the tears are flowing.
He's coming out still wiping the tears in his eyes.
And you can fight in the tears.
Tears in his eyes.
I see tears, man.
Explain your emotions.
So there were.
There were a lot of tears, the NFL draft.
And LeVar Arrington, a former linebacker at Penn State, and at the uh Washington Redskins was on the NFL network this morning.
And he noticed all the tears, and he didn't get a good reception from his uh anchor mates when he brought it up.
Did you notice there was a lot of crying going on in in the draft in the blue room, man?
There was a lot more tears in this year's draft than I think I've seen.
You okay with that or you have a problem with it?
I just thought it was an observation.
You know, it was interesting.
I think a lot of guys were overcome by emotions.
There's a lot of crying.
A lot of big hugs.
I understand.
I mean, it's uh what you said about the biggest.
I'm not so crying in football, is that what you're saying?
I'm a man.
I'm a man.
No, I've cried.
They're ready to jump at his chili.
What are you saying, man?
No crying in football?
He's right, though.
There were there were a lot of tears, there were a lot of hugs.
There's it's changing.
That this let's just get it.
Everything is changing in American culture.
And it it's uh to one degree or another, it's it's being chickafied in a lot of places in a lot of ways.
And by chickified, it just means it's it's being dominated by emotion.
More and more things are.
And uh showing that emotion is gold star.
Demonstrating that you care and touch and you feel.
It's gold star stuff.
Here's uh here's Glenn, Fort Worth, Texas.
Great to have you.
Welcome to the program.
How about?
How are you doing, Rush?
Fine dandy.
Thank you.
Hey, um, one thing before we go on.
Uh would you please stay the path?
Um you're doing outstanding.
There's a lot of things that you can take and veer off on.
But you're out doing an outstanding job helping us out out here.
Appreciate that.
The tapes are great, but please stay the path.
The reason I'm calling, um there's several suggestions that I have.
And then I'm a first-time caller, so I'm kind of a little nervous.
Um, the immigration problem that we're having is the easiest thing to do would be to take and just annex Mexico and make it the 51st state.
That's the easiest thing to solve all our problems.
They're our neighbors, that's our family members, so that should be easy to do.
Well, but you see, there's a the the problem is they're annexing us.
I agree.
I agree, but you know, we can go ahead and start the formality.
Let's let's make make Mexico then all of the United States.
Um the second thing is um, are you serious about that or are you being facetious?
Um being facistic.
Yeah, I was gonna say.
But you sound serious, so you better be careful who you say that to.
You better be careful because they might, you you sound dead serious when you're saying that.
Yes, okay.
It was just my refinement that allowed me to tell that you were being facetious, which is why I ask you.
Somebody not as refined, sophisticated as I am might not have recognized that, and you could have a mouthful of fists.
Depending on where you go, if you're not, I'm just trying to help.
Just trying to just trying to uh be helpful, as it were.
Glenn, thanks for the call.
I appreciate it.
Okay, they're trying to say the Pope didn't say what he said.
Father Jonathan Morris, who I think appears on Fox, has tweeted bad reporting by many.
Pope Francis didn't tell nations to redistribute wealth.
He said legitimate redistribution of economic benefits.
Uh deep doo-doo again over there trying to trying to talk this back.
Folks, have a great weekend.
We'll be back on the right coast on Monday and next week.
Have a good one.
