\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: And here we are, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is the Rush Limbaugh program. Right here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies and the EIB Network. On Friday. Yes, sir-ree. <\/p>\n

JOHNNY DONOVAN: And now, from sunny South Florida, it\u2019s Open Line Friday! <\/p>\n

RUSH: Open Line Friday as opposed to Closed Line Monday Through Thursday. And all it means is that we don\u2019t screen the callers nearly as tightly as we do Monday through Thursday. Normally, if you want to get on this program as a caller, you have to be able to speak; you have to be able to talk about something that I\u2019m interested in. But today you could be the star witness for the prosecution in the Zimmerman case and get on this program.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Have you noticed…? It may be just me, but the Drive-Bys are not talking about the amnesty bill vote from yesterday very much. They\u2019re not bringing this up hardly at all. I mean, the stories about it are Schumer praises Rubio, McCain says (impression), “We\u2019re ready! We\u2019re ready to negotiate with the House,” but there\u2019s nothing about the achievement. There\u2019s nothing about the vote. There\u2019s very, very little out there. They got 68 votes for their amnesty bill in the Senate yesterday, not the 70 that they wanted.<\/p>\n

But they\u2019re not talking about it. I think partly here they\u2019re trying to shield this debacle from everybody. I think they don\u2019t want to report what\u2019s in this bill. They don\u2019t want people concerned with Alec Baldwin\u2019s latest rant to know what\u2019s in this. They don\u2019t want people occupied, focused on Paula Deen to know what\u2019s in this. They don\u2019t want people who can\u2019t believe the star witness at the Zimmerman case, the star witness in Obama\u2019s imagined son\u2019s trial… Well, it\u2019s not him. That\u2019s Trayvon Martin. <\/p>\n

But people are focused on that. Alec Baldwin. The latest is that it was reported by some British newspaper that Alec Baldwin\u2019s wife was tweeting smoothie recipes at the funeral for James Gandolfini. This has caused Alec Baldwin to erupt yet again. He\u2019s threatening all kinds of… Well, some of the stuff he\u2019s threatening is sexually threatening; it\u2019s dangerous. He\u2019s threatening to just do all kinds of things to this guy\u2019s various orifices of his body, claiming his wife didn\u2019t tweet during the Gandolfini funeral, about smoothies or anything else.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He says that they were in the church for the funeral for a good friend of theirs, and this attempt to besmirch and impugn his wife is not going to go by uncommented on. So Baldwin is off on just another out-of-control tirade, which means he\u2019ll pick up another corporate sponsorship. Paula Deen. Paula Deen said the N-word 30 years ago, and has probably cried 15 buckets of tears about it all week long. She was on the Today Show, and then she\u2019s not on the Today Show, and then Matt Lauer interviews her. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Matt Lauer went out and played golf at Deepdale after interviewing her about using the N-word 30 years ago, whenever she used it. But the low-information crowd<\/a> is totally absorbed with this. But Obama\u2019s imagined son\u2019s star witness is getting cable coverage, and is said to be misunderstood. There\u2019s a piece at a website called Global Grind by a young African-American woman by the name of Christina Coleman: “Why Black People Understand Rachel Jeantel.” And then there\u2019s a companion piece: “Why White People Don\u2019t” understand Rachel Jeantel. (laughing)<\/p>\n

Folks, if you\u2019re harboring any hope that this country is ever going to come together and be unified, you can throw it out. You can literally forget it. I got it right here: “Why Black People Understand Rachel Jeantel,” and another piece, “Why White People Don\u2019t.” It\u2019s basically that white people are never going to understand. It centers around the fact that the lawyer, Dan West, couldn\u2019t believe she didn\u2019t call the cops. This piece says (summarized), “What you white people don\u2019t understand is we don\u2019t call the cops in black neighborhoods. <\/p>\n

<\/a>“What do you think happens if we call the cops? They take us away! We don\u2019t call the cops. It makes total sense to us watching her. It makes total sense that she can\u2019t speak English or read it or write it. You people don\u2019t care about the education of African-Americans. You people don\u2019t care.” I mean, it\u2019s amazing. The white people not understanding, that\u2019s in Salon.com, not in a specialized African-American website. That\u2019s at Salon.com. Basically the thrust of the two pieces is, “You white people, you\u2019re so backwards!<\/p>\n

“You\u2019ve just such a bunch of crackers<\/a>. You\u2019re just such a bunch of crazy-ass crackers. You honkies are so backwards and so stupid and so white, Wonder Bread white. You don\u2019t know beans about anything.” (interruption) Well, the “white Hispanics,” there\u2019s only one, and that\u2019s Zimmerman. There\u2019s only one “white Hispanic” in the country and he\u2019s on trial for murder. Another witness today… I think it was a prosecution witness, but maybe not. Maybe it was a defense witness. <\/p>\n

Anyway, they just totally, totally undermined the prosecution today in this trial. Again, if the jury… By the way, I shouldn\u2019t do this, but the jury is six people and five of them are white, and that equals… (interruption) Six of them are white? Okay. “White Hispanic”? Okay. So we have a second “white Hispanic” in America and he\u2019s on the jury. So let\u2019s just call it six white people. After this yesterday, if this verdict…? I don\u2019t have to tell you. (snorts) Aw, man. Anyway, all this is about the media not talking about the amnesty bill. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re really not. They\u2019re talking about all of the ancillaries to it, but they\u2019re not talking about it. They\u2019re not in the business of informing the public anymore. This is about advancing the Obama agenda — and in order to advance the Obama agenda, you cover it up. You hide it. Now, folks, you know that I am a big Apple aficionado but you also know I say, “Buy what you want.” I don\u2019t ever tell anybody what they have to do. I just tell you what I like; I share my passions. I got a note today from a friend of mine who is…<\/p>\n

This is fascinating. This guy is as well versed in politics; he understands media bias. He understands the bias that takes place in polling. He understands instinctively everything about politics. So he send me a note that he\u2019s upset at the latest ad that Apple is running on TV<\/a>. It\u2019s basically a bunch of people using Apple products, and the ad features touchy-feely kind of texts and audio and it ends up “designed in California.” That\u2019s their signature, blah, blah, blah, blah.<\/p>\n

This guy sends me a note, “Don\u2019t these people at Apple…?” Oh, and part of the story was that there\u2019s a survey that the American people hate that ad, that that ad is probably going to be pulled pretty soon, this latest Apple ad. “It\u2019s rated really low down there. Only 26% of people who have seen the ad like it.” So this guy sends me the note saying, “Why do these people at Apple do this? Do they understand we don\u2019t care about California? Why can\u2019t they say, ‘Made in America\u2019?” I said, “Do you understand…?”<\/p>\n
