RUSH: Google\u2019s employees are threatening to walk out and not work if Google enters into a deal with the defense department. The headline is: “Google Exits Pentagon \u2018JEDI\u2019 Project After Employee Protests<\/a> — Google is dropping its bid for a multibillion-dollar Pentagon cloud computing project called JEDI after a spate of employee protests. … The decision follows a months-long protest by Google\u2019s workers, who oppose the company profiting from government defense contracts.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So here we have Google people who in many cases are fine buckling under the ChiCom government on their demands for limitations of availability on the search engine, basically censorship. The ChiCom government is demanding that search results in China be censored with the government acting as the censor, and the Google board is acquiescing and going right along with it.<\/p>\n

And we don\u2019t have any employees to speak of threatening to walk out over that. They don\u2019t have any problem doing Chinese communist bidding. But, boy, if Google gets involved with the Pentagon, the employees are gonna threaten to walk out! So Google caved, and the CEO says (summarized), “No, no, no! There is no left-wing bias in our search engine! We do not do that. We do not engage in this kind of thing. I do not know why you asked me the question.”<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a headline: “‘Massive Power Grab\u2019: Trump EPA Prepares to Roll Back Obama-Era Clean Water Rules<\/a>.” This is in USA Today, and it\u2019s a bunch of BS. This is the exact opposite of a power grab. Here\u2019s the opening paragraph: “The Trump administration is on the verge of moving forward with a significant rollback of an Obama-era clean water regulation that has become a rallying cry for farmers and property-rights activists opposed to federal overreach.<\/p>\n

“The new proposal, whose details will be unveiled [today] is expected to ease government oversight of small bodies of water, undoing a regulation President Donald Trump has called ‘a massive power grab.'” The massive power grab was Obama, putting the federal government in charge of — I\u2019m not joking! — puddles of water on your property! The rollback of Obama\u2019s regulations will give property rights back to landowners and take dictatorial powers away from unelected bureaucrats in the government.<\/p>\n

The power grab was what Obama did.<\/p>\n

All in the name of protecting the environment and climate change.<\/p>\n

Have you heard about the Bill and Hillary Clinton stadium tour, the get to know Bill and Hill tour, the “ill-fated ‘conversation tour'”?<\/a> It seems like they have had a real problem selling tickets. Their first stop on the tour was in Toronto. They did it in a massive arena. They only ended up with barely 3,000 people. We don\u2019t know how many of those 3,000 were comped. They had to go in and cordon off the place to make it look full.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was an embarrassment, and now they have apparently canceled the next one, which was due to occur in Sugar Land, Texas — and Hillary has apparently split. She got onto a plane for “India for a wedding without any word of rescheduling a canceled appearance in Sugar Land, Texas. … Last week [they] failed to draw any significant attention at either of two appearances in Canada, announced that they\u2019d be ‘postponing\u2019 the Sugar Land appearance because of former President George H. W. Bush\u2019s funeral,” his death, “but promised a new tour date ‘soon'” in Sugar Land, too.<\/p>\n

Sugar Land is in Texas, Houston suburbia. “This weekend, though, Hillary Clinton was spotted … at a high-society wedding in Udaipur, India, according to The Hill…” They\u2019re not drawing any crowds at all. This thing is not gonna happen unless they can find a way to populate these events by giving tickets away or busing in union supporters or what have you.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had this story for quite a while. I\u2019ve not gotten to it. I insisted to myself, “Rush, do it today.” Denmark. Denmark! Oh, Denmark is held up as a great example of worldwide socialism the way it should be done. Denmark has all of the answers. Denmark is as close to European utopia as we could get. Well, guess what? Denmark tried utopian proposals and ideas with immigration, illegal and otherwise. They ended up being overrun like every other European country has been, and they\u2019re fed up with it.<\/p>\n

So Denmark has made a change<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Denmark is going to house their most “unwelcome foreigners” in a tiny, little island that\u2019s hard to get to and therefore hard to escape from. The island now has little “laboratories, stables, and a crematorium.” They research contagious animal diseases on this island, and that\u2019s where they\u2019re going to transfer the most “unwelcome foreigners,” i.e., illegal immigrants. “As if to make the message clearer, one of the two ferries that serve” this hard-to-get-to “island is called the Virus.<\/p>\n

“‘They are unwanted in Denmark, and they will feel that,\u2019 the immigration minister, Inger Stojberg, wrote on Facebook.” They\u2019re looking at this as an invasion. Unwelcome foreigners! Try using that phrase here about illegal immigrants. “Unwelcome foreigners” in the piece de resistance of European socialism, and they\u2019re shuffling \u2019em off to a hard-to-get-to island where they\u2019re researching contagious animal diseases!<\/p>\n

“On Friday, the [government] announced an agreement to house as many as 100 people on Lindholm Island \u2014 foreigners who have been convicted of crimes but who cannot be returned to their home countries. Many would be rejected asylum seekers. The 17-acre island, in an inlet of the Baltic Sea, lies about two miles from the nearest shore, and ferry service is infrequent. Foreigners will be required to report at the island center daily, and face imprisonment if they do not.” So there are places around the world showing their degrees of frustration.<\/p>\n

They open their borders. They believed that this influx would assist and grow their economies and their countries because they\u2019re good liberals. Now they\u2019re finding it\u2019s the exact opposite, and they\u2019re getting tough, and they\u2019re sending signals, “Don\u2019t show up. Don\u2019t come! We don\u2019t have room. We don\u2019t have the economy, and we\u2019re not gonna put you on our welfare system, other than to ship you off to an island where we are researching contagious animals\u2019 diseases.” That should do the trick, if anything does.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a new Harvard study out, ladies and gentlemen, and the feminazis are not gonna like it. This new Harvard study says that the gender pay gap<\/a>, to the extent that it exists, can be “explained entirely by work choices of men and women.” New study out of Harvard: “Remember, if we truly want to measure the impact of sexism on male and female relative earnings, we want to look at men and women doing exactly the same job at exactly the same place.<\/p>\n

\"\"“Fortunately, a new study by Valentin Bolotnyy and Natalia Emanuel of Harvard University \u2014 again, listed in that order because that is how they are presented in their paper \u2014 does just this. They look at data from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). This is a union shop with uniform hourly wages where men and women adhere to the same rules and receive the same benefits. Workers are promoted on the basis of seniority rather than performance, and male and female workers of the same seniority have the same choices for scheduling, routes, vacation, and overtime.<\/p>\n

“There is almost no scope here for a sexist boss to favor men over women. And yet, even here, [the two researchers] find that female train and bus operators earn less than their male counterparts. From this observation, they go looking for possible causes, examining time cards and scheduling from 2011 to 2017 and factoring in sex, age, date of hire, tenure, and whether an employee was married or had dependents.” Here\u2019s what they found: “[M]ale train and bus drivers worked about 83% more overtime than their female colleagues and were twice as likely to accept an overtime shift \u2014 which pays time-and-a-half \u2014 on short notice and that around twice as many women as men never took overtime.<\/p>\n

“The male workers took 48% fewer unpaid hours off under the Family Medical Leave Act each year. Female workers were more likely to take less desirable routes if it meant working fewer nights, weekends, and holidays.” In other words, the differences in what men and women were paid at the Massachusetts Transportation Authority was explained by the choices women made when it came to overtime, time off, weekends worked.<\/p>\n

They discovered that to the extent that there is a pay disparity at places where the same jobs are being done by men and women, it\u2019s not because women are being paid less. It\u2019s not because there\u2019s discrimination against women by any stretch. It\u2019s because of the choices. More men are willing to work overtime. More men are willing to take time-and-a-half overtime on short notice; women aren\u2019t. Nothing wrong with any of this.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all choice, but it\u2019s not because of discrimination. It\u2019s not because of any kind of unfairness toward women. This is a union shop! Men and women are paid the exact same amount per hour. It\u2019s just that men will accept the opportunity to work more hours than women do, and no judgment is being made on why. It\u2019s just the fact of the matter. They\u2019re trying to disprove this idea that women and inherently prejudiced against and biased against in pay and it isn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n

\"\"BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Pat-a-Pan, Mannheim Steamroller. By the way, there\u2019s a new Mannheim Steamroller 3-CD set, Mannheim Steamroller 3040<\/a> and there\u2019s a new arrangement of Greensleeves that we have not yet played here\u2019s because it\u2019s vocal. Chip Davis\u2019 daughter sings it, and it\u2019s an entirely different arrangement that Chip wrote to accommodate his daughter\u2019s vocal performance on this song. It\u2019s much different than the traditional version of Greensleeves by the Steamroller on any of their other CDs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
