RUSH: Did you see, Saudi Arabia has allowed two women to be on the Olympic team, and one of them, I think, competes in judo. And the Saudis told the Olympic committee, the IOC, the International Olympic Committee, you must let our female judo competitor wear a hijab, a head scarf. And the IOC relented. It is not allowed in judo because it could end up being used as a weapon for choking, for example. But they relented, and they\u2019re letting the Saudi babe, err, woman, wear her hijab because it\u2019s required that her head be covered in public. I kid you not. They did relent. I don\u2019t know when the competition is. I haven\u2019t checked. I have all that stuff available on my iOS devices. I haven\u2019t looked when judo is. But it kind of boggles the mind, the fear that exists and the resulting political correctness.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Pat, Dix Hills, New York. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. Thank you so much for taking this call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have been watching the Olympics on NBC, and GE has a very wonderful commercial about neonatal equipment that was used in the United States in a hospital I believe in Maryland, and the hospital, when they upgraded their equipment, donated the equipment to a neonatal unit in East London.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute, now. We just had an opening ceremony that highlighted the National Health Service <\/a>as one of the most noteworthy achievements ever in the UK.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And they should have had a thank you card to the people of the United States.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And you saw an ad where GE is giving used neonatal care devices to the British?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Fascinating.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, it is.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Absolutely fascinating. So they take our hand-me-downs?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And then they throw ceremonies to themselves.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s correct.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, General Electric still owns 49% of NBC. Comcast owns 51%. So GE, it\u2019s kind of like they\u2019re paying themselves. GE\u2019s the leading sponsor of the Olympics, then they paid for the rights. They paid 49% of $1.2 billion. I wonder if that means they couldn\u2019t sell it to anybody else and they had to go —<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
