Washington Post Poll: 9-in-10 Native Americans Don\u2019t Mind the Washington Redskins<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s a new poll out, and it\u2019s in the Washington Post of all places.  This is going to devastate the hand-wringers on the left.  “Nine in 10 Native Americans –” that will be Indians, for those of you in Rio Linda. “Nine in 10 Native Americans say they are not offended by the Washington Redskins name, according to a new Washington Post poll that shows how few ordinary Indians have been persuaded by a national movement to change the football team\u2019s moniker.”<\/p>\n

What national movement?  I\u2019d submit to you there is no national movement.  There\u2019s a media narrative.  But there is no national movement.  When\u2019s the last time you ran into anybody in any walk of life, when you\u2019re at the mall, when you\u2019re at the movies, when you\u2019re out to dinner, when has anybody brought up the subject of the name of the Washington Redskins and has been truly offended by it and is on a crusade to get it changed? <\/line><\/p>\n

Nobody!  There is no national movement.  It\u2019s a concocted media narrative.  It\u2019s part of the daily soap opera, led by the Drive-By leftists in the sports media and joined, of course, by their brethren in the news media.  There is no national movement and this illustrates it. <\/p>\n

“The survey of 504 people across every state and the District reveals that the minds of Native Americans have remained unchanged since a 2004 poll,” which is 12 years ago, “by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found the exact same result.”<\/p>\n

A 14-year-old poll identical to this poll.  Ninety percent of Native Americans are not offended by the Redskins name. <\/p>\n

I saw something the other day, if you want to change the name and get rid of what\u2019s really offensive about it, just call \u2019em the Redskins and boot “Washington.”  Did you see that? (laughing) Somebody sent me that as an email thing.<\/p>\n

Trump Is Up Five!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Rasmussen poll, Trump is up five over Hillary now.  By the way, speaking of that, the left, the Drive-By left, much of the elected political left, they are really turning on Crazy Bernie, yesterday and today.  They are getting fed up with Bernie, and they\u2019re about ready to toss him overboard.  It\u2019s gone on too long.  It\u2019s gone on too far. <\/p>\n

Crazy Bernie was never supposed to get this close and he was never supposed to cause riots at the Democrat convention.  He was never supposed to cause Dianne Feinstein to go out there and say all this reminds her of 1968.  She doesn\u2019t want a repeat of 1968, Chicago convention, riots and so forth.  They lost in a landslide, then four years later lost again in a landslide, 1972.  Don\u2019t want any part of that.  The Democrat Party\u2019s in heap big trouble. <\/p>\n

Average Person Spends 117 Days Having Sex<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Did you see this on Drudge yesterday?  Average person spends 0.45% of life having sex.  The life expectancy is, what, 75, it means that the average person spends 117 days of their 75 years having sex, which adds up to 0.45, not even one half of 1%. <\/p>\n

You would never know that if you routinely read social media.  If you spend time on Fakebook, if you read what people write about themselves on Fakebook and Twitter, and if you go to the movies and if you watch prime time TV or cable TV, if you watch any episodic television, you would think everybody\u2019s having sex all the time, doing nothing else, and that you\u2019re missing out, which may be true.  Average person, 0.45, I thought of that and I said, “Well, hmm.  I\u2019m apparently getting an unfair share of somebody else\u2019s time.”<\/p>\n

Memories of Morley Safer<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH:  The noted CBS correspondent Morley Safer has passed away at age 84.  When these things happen, people routinely ask, “Did you know Morley Safer?”  Well, I didn\u2019t know Morley Safer, but I had two encounters with him.  One was on the phone where he called me back in my TV show days, not to request my appearance on the show, but to quote me about something in somebody else\u2019s appearance he was putting together.  He ended up arguing with me about what I thought.  I thought, “Well, this is strange.<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re calling me to ask me for my input on something you\u2019re doing, and you\u2019re arguing with me, which was fine.”  The other time is more noteworthy.  I\u2019ve told the story before.  I was profiled once on 60 Minutes when something got past somebody there and they ended up profiling me. And then they had an anniversary celebration dinner, CBS 30 years or 60 Minutes 20 years, or 50 years in 60 Minutes, whatever it was.  And it was at the Temple of Dendur exhibit at the museum on Fifth Avenue in New York. <\/p>\n

I happily accepted and I went to this dinner, and I happened to note that I was seated at the same table as noted professor Camille Paglia, who, unbeknownst to the people at CBS, was an acquaintance of mine.  We were email correspondents.  We had some things in common. We\u2019d very much enjoyed each other\u2019s company in that way, even though she\u2019s an ardent feminist and leftist. But she\u2019s not… She has very little in common with the everyday, modern, weirdo, wacko leftist that you see either on campus or in the news — and she admires creativity and art. <\/p>\n

She\u2019s a professor of the arts, and I\u2019d spoken to her about her reviews of the works of Madonna and so forth asking, basically, how she does her job. You know, how she approaches her job.  Anyway, they seated me at her table expecting fireworks.  The people at 60 Minutes had no idea we knew each other and they just expected that here I am, Mr. Conservative Firebrand who hates liberals. I\u2019m gonna punch \u2019em out, walk out, do whatever. Make a scene.  And all night long… I didn\u2019t know this at first. <\/p>\n

All night long, various 60 Minutes people are the strolling by our table.  Morley Safer came by once and Steve Kroft came by once and Ed Bradley walked by a couple times and Don Hewitt walked by, and I thought, “What is this?”  And then they\u2019d stop and chat with each other, and when they walked by the table, they had these snarky grins on their faces like, “Hey, Limbaugh, do you know you\u2019ve been set up yet?”  But it wasn\u2019t like that. They were expecting fireworks that never, ever happened. And I\u2019m sure when the evening was over, they were dumbfounded.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what, specifically, they expected to happen, but you can bet that seating me at Camille Paglia\u2019s table, they thought there was gonna be some fireworks, a scene or something, and they wanted to be around to see it, which is probably why I was invited in the first place to the thing.  And those are my two experiences.  And they didn\u2019t say anything. None of these guys said anything as they walked by.  It became obvious, they walked on by so much. That\u2019s how I noticed it. Every five minutes one or two of them is walking by, looking at the table.  <\/p>\n

The Establishment Left Is Really Turning on Crazy Bernie Sanders<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nRUSH: Speaking of that, the left, the Drive-By left, much of the elected political left, they are really turning on Crazy Bernie, yesterday and today.  They are getting fed up with Bernie, and they\u2019re about ready to toss him overboard.  It\u2019s gone on too long.  It\u2019s gone on too far.  <\/line> Crazy Bernie was never supposed to get this close and he was never supposed to cause riots at the Democrat convention.  He was never supposed to cause Dianne Feinstein to go out there and say all this reminds her of 1968.  She doesn\u2019t want a repeat of 1968, Chicago convention, riots and so forth.  They lost in a landslide, then four years later lost again in a landslide, 1972.  Don\u2019t want any part of that.  The Democrat Party\u2019s in heap big trouble.  <\/line>\n

EgyptAir Flight Blown Out of the Sky<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH:  Well, they found some wreckage already of the Airbus A320 EgyptAir flight, blown out of the sky today, an urgent investigation is underway.  <\/p>\n

Poll Pushes for Third Party Candidate<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: The Politico.  “Poll:  Voters Want an Independent to Run Against Clinton and Trump.”  Did you know that?  Yeah, let me tell you about it.  “Either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is likely to be elected president in November, but voters are yearning for another option.” You know why?  ‘Cause there\u2019s a poll.  The results of a Data Targeting, that\u2019s capital D, capital T, Data Targeting poll released yesterday.  Well, who is Data Targeting?  Well, I looked \u2019em up.  They are an outfit run by a Republican strategist named Joel Searby, and it turns out that Joel Searby is working with Bill Kristol and others to recruit a third-party candidate. <\/p>\n

So they went out and they did a poll.  And, lo and behold, they got results that said a significant number of Americans want a third-party candidate, \u2019cause they know that so many Republicans are susceptible to poll results.  I mean, you gotta give \u2019em credit.  They\u2019re still flailing away out there at this.  Yeah.  Yeah, Romney cashed in his chips on that.  He\u2019s out of that.<\/p>\n

Assange Is Behind the Times: iTunes Vulnerability Fixed Five Years Ago<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, you may have come across a story today that Julian Assange, WikiLeaks, has informed Apple that iTunes is wide open on the back end for hackers.  That goes back to 2011.  It\u2019s been fixed.  Don\u2019t panic.  Julian Assange is a little bit behind the times in this.  That\u2019s, what, five years ago?  Apple\u2019s constantly updating their security.  That was dealt with a long time ago.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
