Time Text
Well, here you go.
Right here it is, folks, from the Chicago Tribune.
Headline Man accused of choking girl eight in restroom of South Loop Store.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
The Chicago Tribune, a West Town man accused of choking an eight-year-old little girl until she passed out inside a bathroom.
Of a store in the South Loop neighborhood.
It was last weekend.
The girl was inside the score on the store South Canal Street with her mother.
Around 1 15 Saturday when the two became separated, according to cops.
The girl went into store's bathroom.
At some point a guy, Reese Hartstern, 33, came into the bathroom and started choking the girl with his hands, causing her to become unconscious according to a release from the Chicago police department and picked up the unconscious girl, "'carried her into a bathroom stall, "'closing the doors so she couldn't leave.
"'Heart Stern pushed the girl's mother "'when the mother came into the stall "'to rescue her daughter.' Girl was taken to children's hospital for treatment, condition not immediately available.
According to police, people inside the store held heart stern for the cops after they were alerted to what happened.
Readings and welcome back to Open Line Friday.
Rush Limbaugh here at 800 282 2882.
We got one exciting busy broadcast hour left.
And there's a lot of things I want to squeeze in here, folks, if we can, including your phone calls.
I want to go back to Patrick in Sonora, California.
You had just talked about how uh well you're you're remembering various things that happened in the late eighties in Northern California involving me, but what was the second point you were gonna make?
You're a forgotten favorites, uh something you taught us out here in the institute about the media.
And after I stopped laughing, I realized how right you were.
And you said here's why the media does what they do.
The same reason the dog licks himself, because it can.
Well, you've got a memory.
And then after I stopped laughing, I realized how succinct and brilliant that was.
Because the media is not covering this transgender thing the way normal people or sane people like myself.
I don't have any daughters, but I have nieces.
I have teenage nieces.
Uh I have older nieces, I have a wife.
Uh, this is a safety issue.
This is about predators like the one the story you just read, uh, going into these bathrooms and taking advantage of it.
Um, and it and it's happening, but they're not covering it.
And it's really interesting how they took, you know, gun control and turned it into gun safety, but they're not treating this as a safety issue.
No.
No, that's actually a good point.
Civil rights, you could you could legalize rape if you called it the Civil Rights Act of 2016.
Yeah, because the theoretically, because rather hear about women identifying as men going into men's bathrooms or men's locker rooms.
Oh, wait a minute.
Wait just a second.
Yes, you do.
Yes.
I have it.
Well, you don't hear about it that way.
That happens after the operation or after after the reassignment.
I mean, after all, if o if a guy who becomes a woman still has the male genitalia, what what are we talking about?
Well, well, they you know, that's gonna become known once they go.
Oh, I mean, and then that new woman wants to use the women's room.
Those are all private stalls.
If it I mean, if they look like a woman, I mean, they did the Caitlin Jenner look, and he's still got his plumbing, male plumbing, but he's gonna go into a separate stall.
Well, I mean, that's the thing.
By the way, speaking of Jenner, wasn't there a story that he was having guilt or or uh uh what what what not the guilt uh it turned out not to be true.
He was denying it, but apparently he had regrets, that's what it was, over going through the gender reassignment and want to go back to being Bruce.
And I think they went some he denied that or some such thing.
Um anyway, uh Patrick that's right.
It here's the thing about uh and don't folks don't have an overreaction here.
My my point civil rights Is another way the left gets calling this a civil rights issue and Title VII and Title IX, people don't even know what those are.
I mean, some people might know what Title IX is if they've been impacted by it with girls and sports and college.
Other than that, nobody knows what Title IX is, and they certainly don't know what Title VII is.
Here comes the regime saying, well, Title VII, Title IX, the Civil Rights Act, 1964, updated as is 1985, specifying that trans, it doesn't.
Transgender is not even mentioned as a word in Title VII or Title IX.
So then they go back and they say, well, the founders even tried to permit for this in the left.
The founders weren't thinking transgender, transstrender when they wrote the Constitution.
But if you call it a civil right, then you automatically make it impossible for people to oppose it, because if you oppose civil rights, you must be a racist.
That's how it's manifested itself in our society.
Civil rights issues are always race issues.
That's that's most of them are.
For example, after the Rodney King riots in LA or any other, what have the civil rights division of the Justice Department goes in to investigate?
So they always attach people.
The reading public, the news consuming public, has been conditioned to attach the words civil rights to race.
Now it's being expanded.
Civil rights, gay marriage, civil rights, transgender bathroom rights, civil rights, whatever the left wants.
Except over here, rape has become a safety issue.
But over here, this stuff is a civil rights.
If when you hear the left equate anything with civil rights, what you should learn is this is how they are attempting to corrupt the culture.
And they're doing it under the banner of civil rights, which is supposed to shut you up.
It is supposed to silence opposition because nobody with a brain is ever supposed to violate civil rights.
Never anybody with a brain would know never to oppose anything civil rights attached to it.
Which is why the joke.
You could legalize whatever you want by calling it the Civil Rights Act of 2016, because nobody would have the guts to vote against it.
Because if they did, you'd have the media, Democrats running around saying so-and-so voted against the Civil Rights Act of 2016, denying all of our citizens equal rights.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
In fact, much of Democrat legislation is so misnamed, it's a joke.
And it's done precisely for similar reasons.
And yes, I did say that the media replicate, you know, why do dogs lick themselves because they can.
Why does the media does what it do?
Because it can, they can.
Anyway, Patrick, I appreciate the call.
I uh I do.
Now, Senator Sessions, I mentioned his column.
I want to give some excerpts from this today.
Jeff Sessions op-ed it's uh short, it's a USA Today.
Election offers a simple choice.
In Donald Trump, we have a forceful advocate for America.
And just some some cherry pick pull quotes here.
For the first time in a long time, this November will give Americans a clear choice on perhaps the most important issue facing our country and our civilization.
And that is whether we remain a nation-state that serves its own people, or whether we slide irrevocably toward a soulless globalism that treats humans as interchangeable widgets in the world market.
In Donald Trump, we have a forceful advocate for America.
Trump has said that our trade, immigration of foreign policies must be changed to protect the interests of American workers and our nation.
In Hillary Clinton, we have a committed globalist.
Clinton was an ardent supporter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which surrenders American sovereignty to an international union of twelve countries.
She has clearly left the door wide open to enacting Trans-Pacific Partnership, if elected.
There is only one sure way to defeat the TPP, and that is to defeat Hillary Clinton.
By the way, TPP, not to be confused with the TPA.
Thank you.
You know what the TPA is versus TPP.
Well, if it comes up, I'll explain it.
But just don't confuse the two.
The TPP is the bad one.
The TPA, it's gonna be a case for it, but it's not a deal.
TPA simply grants president fast track authority to negotiate these kinds of things.
But but I know, but wait, but wait, you can't you can't have 535 negotiators on a deal.
So it's a tricky thing.
I mean, a lot of people oppose a TPA too because you got a guy like Obama who we don't want to have the fast track to do anything.
But in the generic sense, having a president with fast track negotiating authority for the most part is something you would prefer rather than letting every member of Congress dip their hand in this well to try to have some say-so about it.
But that I wouldn't want that.
But it's I know it's a tough thing to argue TPA when when Obama is the president we're talking about.
But there's a difference.
It's not the TPP, and opposing the TPP is a slam dunk.
There ought to be nobody reasonable, responsible in favor of this.
And Hillary is.
Ted Cruz was not, despite what people tried to say.
Ted Cruz was for TPA.
He did vote with Ryan to grant Fast Track Authority, but he was never for the TPP.
Anyway, more from Sessions.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton's immigration platform is the most radical in our histoire.
Freezing deportations, ending detentions, halting enforcement.
She would expand Obama's illegal amnesty decree, effectively creating open borders.
Clinton's extremist proposal economically targets our poor African American and Hispanic communities whose wages and job prospects are being steadily eroded by the huge influx of new foreign workers.
Yet some Republicans persist in saying they don't know whether Mr. Trump is a real conservative.
As far as Jeff Sessions is concerned, he is a real American.
And as he states in his open, in Donald Trump, we have a forceful advocate for America.
Has it really not come down to that?
I mean, is that not...
The Democrats.
Many people question or they don't like America.
That's why they want to transform it.
They don't like a America as founded.
They don't like America as is.
They don't like American foreign policy, don't like the American military, don't like American corporations, don't like American capitalism, don't like America, period.
To them, America's flawed.
Gotta be fixed, gotta be transformed, gotta be reversed.
And how do they fix it?
Well, we gotta let more people from all over the world who are better people.
We're gonna let the disadvantaged, we gotta let the people that we have made poor.
We've got to let the people that we've mistreated, we've got to let the people whose resources we have stolen.
We need to let them into our country.
It's the only way they can be paid back for what we took from.
That's their thinking.
They never, the Democrats, Hillary, she never worries about her part, her her geopolitical location.
Wherever she is, she never worries about any of that upsetting her way of life, her standard of living.
No Democrat ever does.
They can wall themselves off.
They don't care about anybody else.
But they will damn well, like Mr. Snerdlier's asking me earlier, do you think the Obama's kids are going to be going into these non-gender specified bathrooms any day soon?
No way.
But yours.
Well, your school is going to be mandated to make such rooms available.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, it's standard operating procedure.
Two sets of rules, one for the elite and one for everybody else.
Let me take a brief time out and we'll continue as uh Open Line Friday rolls on unabated right after this.
Michael in uh Casanovia, New York.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Thank you for your service, Rush.
Thank you.
I appreciate your call, sir.
Thanks much.
I want to remind Mr. Woodward how the Clintons in the last days of their presidency pardoned Mr. Rich and his partner after they were convicted of financial crimes.
And then they fled the country to Switzerland while while out on bail.
And the Clintons got millions of dollars from the rich family.
And even Hillary's brother got hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Yeah, you know, that's right.
That's Hugh Rodham.
Hugh or what was that?
Hundreds of thousands of dollars for preparing the paperwork.
And they did the same thing with Lorell and Bernie Schwartz.
You know that story.
Yeah, that was to be space, space, whatever.
What's this got to do with what do you mean Woodward should know?
Well, he's he's after Trump.
Oh, you mean the paper assigning these 20 reporters to dig up the dirt on Trump.
For for the liberals to say anything about the Clintons is like saying the Emperor has no clothes.
Come on, they're not going to investigate.
Nobody dares to say that.
Michael, they're not going to investigate the Clintons.
They, they in in the in I'm sure in Bob Woodward's mind, the Clintons have already been investigated, starting with Whitewater, and then here came that sex pervert, Ken Starr, and who knows who I mean.
The Clintons have surpassed even this FBI email thing, they think is all trumped up and much ado about nothing.
The Clintons aren't going to be investigated, except that they are.
The Washington Post isn't going to be the ones to do it, and the New York Times aren't going to be the ones to do it.
But I guarantee you, the Trumpists and others are going to make a beeline at the Clinton charity organization and that that that crime family foundation of theirs.
I mean, the New York Post has a story today.
Have you heard the stories that there's some babe that's always at the Clinton estate in Chappaqua, nicknamed the Energizer?
That's a secret secret service name for this babe.
It turns out she is a babe.
She's a 51-year-old babe, and she is uh she has received donations from the Clinton Foundation.
Her name is Susan uh Susan McMahon, and she's uh apparently there all the time.
And if you're gonna call some 51-year-old babe running around Bill Clinton, the energizer, there's gonna be only one reason for that, folks.
Hillary won't like it.
Oh, and a couple of things in the Clintons.
LA Times columnist, this is Doyle McManus.
This guy's been columning at the LA Times since I've been doing this show.
He means way, way back there, which means he's got experience.
And he is worried that Trump's nickname for Hillary is gonna stick.
He's worried that crooked Hillary may stick, and he has a column suggesting that the way she should respond is by committing to campaign finance reform.
Well, uh let me let me tell you how that's not gonna happen.
Hey, there isn't gonna be any campaign finance reform with the Clintons, but here's why.
Exclusive.
Chatsworth Osborne Jr.'s website, the Daily Caller, Persian Gulf Sheikhs gave Bill and Hillary Clinton 100 million.
Now we've told you this before, but here it is again.
Daily Caller News Foundation investigation reveals that Bill and Hillary Clinton have received at least 100 million dollars from Persian Gulf states and their leaders.
They've come from the Kuwaitis, from Oman, from Qatar, from the United Arab Emirates, from Saudi Arabia.
Now, who in the hell is donating grand total 100 million to the Clintons?
And why?
It's not to come make speeches, and it's not because they love them, and it's not because they're friends, and it's not because this is on the come investment in a future Clinton presidency.
One hundred million.
Doyle McManus, give me a break.
You think crooked Hillary might stick, so the way she could deal with it is to commit the campaign finance reform.
She might make a show of it now that she's got her hundred mil.
And that's just from one group of people.
They've collected sums like that from all kinds of people, all kinds of nations in Europe.
ChICOMs and any number of places around the world.
That's what the Clinton Global Initiative has really always been about.
It's a it's it's this thing designed to enrich the Clintons and their political fortunes, meant personal, I think, too, under the guise of a charitable foundation.
And the Clinton Global Initiative happens to meet in New York at the same time the United Nations General Assembly is meeting.
So all those people are in town and they go back and forth to the Clinton Global Initiative wherever it's being held to the United Nations General Assembly building.
But how about is it kind of Doyle McManus, LA Times?
Yes, it's Crooked Hillary might stick.
And so, yeah, she should come out for campaign financial.
That's what the media thinks.
The media's got a bunch of get the money out of politics.
They don't.
If you took the money out of politics, you can wave goodbye to the Democrat Party for crying out loud.
It ain't gonna happen.
Clinton charity gave two million dollars to company owned by Bill's friend, the energizer.
Bill Clinton's foundation doled out two million dollars to a power company, partly owned by a wealthy blonde divorcee about whom questions have been raised as to whether she is the frequent visitor to his house, nicknamed Energizer.
The commitment to Julie Tauber McMahon's firm from the Clinton Global Initiative was placed on its 2010 conference agenda at Clinton's urging.
It's in the Wall Street Journal from yesterday.
The initiative, so I guess there's a board of directors of the Clinton Global Initiative, and they meet on to whom to make charitable donations.
And this babe got two million bucks.
She's got a company called Energy Pioneer Solutions.
It's a company founded to deliver energy savings to communities in rural America.
You know, I read things like that, and I just don't let the words go by.
I absorb the words, and I ask, what in the hell is this?
A company founded to deliver energy savings to communities in rural America.
Okay, so imagine one day you're looking for something to do.
How many people are always they don't know what they want to do?
They're bored with what they are doing and they want to do something new.
And somebody says to them, you know what?
I want to set up a company that is going to deliver energy savings to communities in rural America.
Who thinks like that?
What is how do you set up a company to deliver energy savings?
What are energy savings?
Well, you and I would think cheaper energy that people who live in rural America, I guess we're supposed to infer that they're poor.
Means they can't afford, so I'm gonna I'm gonna start a company that's gonna take money to poor people in rural America to help them afford energy.
What am I gonna get out of this?
How am I gonna get anything out of this?
What is this?
Who in the world would dream up something like this to do?
Would you ever conceive of this yourself, Mr. Snerdley?
Well, I know it's not it, but what wait no, no, no.
The reason why you can't understand it, Mr. Limbaugh, is because this is a good person.
This is a person, unlike you, Mr. Limbaugh, this is a person sitting around worrying about the left fourth in it.
And the left fourth don't have nearly as much as you do, and she's not satisfied to have what she has.
She wants to make sure other people do.
So she's going to deliver savings to the poor in the rural America.
Well, how do you deliver what do you put the savings of the truck and drive it there?
How do you deliver savings?
Do you subsidize their energy bills?
How do you do that?
And here comes the Clinton Global Initiative, so impressed with this that they're donating two million dollars to it.
And we find out the babe, and her picture is here, that runs this thing is always at Clinton's house.
And the Secret Service has named her Energizer.
Of course, she goes, goes, goes, I guess.
Yes.
the Energizer Money never, never, never stops.
Clinton even says here, Clinton even went to bat for the company when it came to lobbying for federal funds.
Oh, it gets even better.
I'm sitting around one day figuring out what I want to do.
And I decide that I want to deliver energy savings to rural America.
And the next thing I decide is I need federal money to do it.
So I'm going to start lobbying whoever I have to lobby to get money so that I can theoretically, I guess, put it in the Brink's truck and start making stops in rural America, helping them with their energy.
How this manifests, how this actually works, I can't even conceive.
I'm not denying it.
Don't misunderstand.
I'm just saying my mind doesn't work this way.
No, I'm not saying I'm not charitable.
I'm saying I of there's something else going on, is the point, whatever it is.
It says here that Bill Clinton helped Energizer steer an $812,000 federal grant by endorsing the funds via the then energy secretary, Stephen Chu.
Okay, let's sort this out.
The initiative, the Clinton Global Initiative, promises $2 million to support the work of Energy Pioneer Solutions, a company founded to deliver energy savings to communities in rural America.
And that's the that's how the charity defines what it does.
It's a 2010 statement from the charity.
Then Clinton even went to bat for Energy Pioneer Solutions when Energy Pioneer Solutions came to lobby for federal money.
Clinton helped steer $812,000 federal grants.
So Clinton calls somebody in Washington and says, give Energizer $812,000, and have the energy secretary, Stephen Chu, endorse the deal, which is what happened.
And there was two million then given on top of that.
Now this McMahon woman owns 29% of Energy Pioneer Solutions, which was, oh, here it is, which was given the money to make people's homes more energy efficient.
They're buying insulation.
That's it.
They're buying and selling and installing insulation.
Because obviously, rural people don't have any.
And they're losing all kinds of heat in the winter and whatever.
See.
Well, no, I know that they knew it got cold and he didn't have any insulation.
They couldn't afford insulation when they built the shack, uh house.
So here comes Energizer, delivering insulation, and whatever they can.
Other techniques to make people's homes.
So making people's homes more energy efficient is delivering energy savings.
She's in, she is in Clinton's house all the time.
The fit, blonde, mother of three, who lives just minutes from Bill and Hillary Clinton's home in Chappaqua, is the daughter of Joel Tauber, a millionaire donor to the Democrat Party.
McMahon, 54, rumored to be the woman dubbed Energizer by the Secret Service of Clinton home because of her frequent visits.
Secret Service agents even given special instructions to abandon the usual protocol when the woman came by, meaning let her in.
No questions asked.
Let her in.
You don't stop her, you don't approach her, you just let her go in, says Ronald Kessler in his book, The First Family Detail.
Energizer is described in the book as a charming visitor who sometimes brought cookies to the agents.
Doesn't say anything about sleepovers.
You've got to use your mind on this.
What is two and two equal?
But I mean, look at what in order for all this to happen, look what has been some charity founded to deliver energy savings to communities in rural America, which ends up having two million dollars, actually 2.8 million dollars given to it by the Clinton Global Initiative with $800,000 written off by the Energy Department, signed off by the Energy Secretary.
Energy Secretary And you and I know we couldn't get any we can close to anything like this as long as we lived, we would never see anything.
You know, folks, if the Clinton Global Initiative is giving, donating two million dollars to a company called Energy Pioneer Solutions.
What would happen if I started raising charitable donations for Exxon and a whole bunch of other fossil fuel companies because I happen to hate green and I hate this phony scam of wind and solar, and I want to donate to fossil fuel companies.
Could I?
How do you donate?
Do companies have charitable intake arms.
Maybe we should set one of those up here at EIB.
Man, our universe is just expanding left and right.
We look at what Democrats do.
Andrew in Akron, Ohio, thank you for waiting.
It's great to have you on Open Line Friday.
Hello.
Hi, Mr. Lumbaugh.
Uh, good afternoon.
How are you?
I'm fine, sir.
Thank you very much.
Um, I'd like to kind of start off by telling you today is actually the first time I've ever been accompanied in a male restroom with a female.
It's pretty uh stunning.
But the reason I called, you just can't say that, and then you were accompanied by a female in a restroom.
Yes, sir.
Uh I was at a truck stop and uh a I a lady, I take it a lady walked in, she had hair about three quarters of the way down her back.
Uh well, what happened?
What did you do?
Just kind of froze um because there was no attempt to even cover it up and look like a male.
Well, um, and everybody just kind of walked out of the bathroom.
Yeah, I guess so.
Uh making them the bigots, yeah.
But I I'd like to really tell you thank you very much for your books.
Um, I'm 22 years old.
I was taught in our horrible public schools.
But um, man, they are just full of information.
Uh it's just so amazing that uh somebody like myself can learn from that.
And I just really want to thank you and uh let you know that you have a lot of support.
Well, you know, I'm I appreciate I it's it's still surprising to hear this, Andrew, but I have heard from people your age and even older who've said that there are things in these books that we write for children.
You know, these eight to twelve, sometimes at thirteen, uh, that they weren't taught in school.
Especially the first one, uh Rush Rear and the Brave Pilgrims.
That's one of the most mistaught the first Thanksgiving.
But I'm gratified every time I hear this to have 22-year-old people tell me that they learned something reading the children.
I'm really gratified.
And we'd like to send you a little something here, Andrew.
If you would hang on, Mr. Snerdley will get your address so we can send you a little surprise goodie package.
Well, it won't be a surprise since you know it's coming, but what's in there will be.
And I have to run.
I appreciate it, Andrew.
Thank you so much.
And a reminder, my friends, that I'm uh away Monday and Tuesday.
Mark Stein will be here both days.
This is scheduled couple of days off.
It's summing it every other year.
Uh it's a it's a charity golf outing.
Genuine charity golf outing.
We're not delivering energy savings to the poor.
We're actually raising money for uh a really decent organization.
So anyway, I'll be back here on Wednesday.
