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

RUSH: Look, this Donald Sterling business, I have to tell you something, folks, this is not news to anybody who has known of this guy. I was telling Mr. Snerdley this morning, this guy\u2019s a big Democrat. The only reason he\u2019s in trouble right now is he did not give enough money to Obama. This guy was gonna get a leadership award from the NAALCP LA chapter, the second one. This guy is a typical Hollywood Democrat. He\u2019s sort of a pretend A-lister. But who he is, his racialist tendencies, everything on these tapes, it\u2019s been so widely known by everybody in the NBA, everybody in the sports media for 10 to 15 years, for however long he\u2019s owned this team. <\/p>\n

All of this shock and outrage, I\u2019m gonna tell you something. It is as phony as you can believe. Everybody in the media, from LA to New York, who\u2019s acting shocked about this, I\u2019m telling you, they\u2019ve known who this guy is for the longest time. They\u2019ve known he\u2019s a slumlord. They know that he\u2019s a racist. They know that he\u2019s basically a despicable human being, and now he may be demented, in addition to whatever else he is. <\/p>\n

I remember when I first started going out to Los Angeles and started meeting people out there, something happened. I mean, 10, 15 years ago, the name Donald Sterling came up, and I\u2019m asking my friends, “Who is this guy?” and I heard everything 10 to 15 years ago that I\u2019m hearing about the guy over the weekend. And all during this period of time, “Well, how does this guy hang on?”<\/line><\/p>\n

“Well, the Clippers never win, the second-rate team in LA. The Lakers own it out here and it\u2019s just an afterthought team. Not any big deal. It doesn\u2019t get in anybody\u2019s way.” And he pays these guys decent NBA salaries. But it\u2019s been known. The guy gave money to Gray Davis. The guy gave money to Bill Bradley. He\u2019s been donating to Democrat causes. Doing what you do in Beverly Hills and LA to be in the A-list crowd, this guy\u2019s been doing it, other than the slumlord business, and that may even be some of what you have to do. <\/p>\n

If you get anybody in the NBA, anybody in the media world in LA to be honest with, they\u2019ll tell you that none of this is news. Even the fact that he\u2019s had these girlfriends, that he\u2019s a sugar daddy, that\u2019s not new. His wife has known about it. What happened here is, best I can tell, he was getting older, he thinks that what he says is profound, and he wants it maintained for posterity. So he asked this V. Stiviano, the latest sugar baby and a little honey, she\u2019s telling people that he asked her to record it, because what he says is brilliant. He doesn\u2019t have the ability to remember everything he says now \u2019cause he\u2019s 81 years old and he wanted it kept for posterity. He wanted to have a record of what he had said in case there were any disputes with anybody about what he had said.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s her story, and of course she is going to stick to it. There are over 100 hours of recordings of Donald Sterling, so the real question is, “Why does it matter now?” Folks, you know what I\u2019ve always said? Remember when we had the discussion when they threw the guy from Mozilla overboard? I had a monologue at that point in time about how the left always seems to get away with things \u2019cause their intentions are good. We\u2019re never supposed to judge the results of what they believe in. We\u2019re never supposed to judge the results of their actions or of their policies because they\u2019re good people, and they\u2019re trying to do the right thing. They have honorable, good intentions. And at the same time they assign ill intention to us.<\/line><\/p>\n

And one of the things that the left says about people on the right is, like when the Koch brothers, when David Koch gave a hundred million dollars to the hospital, they said he didn\u2019t really mean that. He was just doing that to cover up the fact that he really doesn\u2019t like poor people. He was just doing that to cover up the fact that he really hates people. He was just doing that to keep people from finding out who the real David Koch is. That\u2019s what they say. Well, hello. That\u2019s Donald Sterling. Donald Sterling is giving all this philanthropy, all these awards, to cover up who he is. <\/p>\n

They actually do what they accuse us of doing. The Mozilla guy\u2019s Brendan Eich and he\u2019s long gone of course, and what did he do? He gave a thousand dollars to a campaign that believed marriage is between a man and a woman. Can you believe the bigotry. Can you believe the hatred, a guy like Brendan Eich? Now, they\u2019re trying to figure out what to do about Sterling. They can\u2019t take away the team. Legally they can\u2019t take away the team. If they try to take away the team, then Sterling will sue \u2019em and tie \u2019em up in court.<\/p>\n

The Reverend Sharpton<\/a>, by the way, is on the case. The Reverend Sharpton, who is going to be awarded at the same banquet Sterling was going to be awarded. The NAALCP LA branch is gonna give the Reverend Sharpton award, the Justice Brothers are on the case. The Reverend Jackson is now comparing — (laughing) — picking cotton to picking basketballs if you have to play for the Clippers. (laughing\/coughing) I\u2019m sorry, folks. I cannot shake this. It\u2019s been a month now and I\u2019m doing everything I can. It\u2019s very rude to cough at you like that, I\u2019m sorry. But when I start laughing it upsets the breathing pattern that keeps the coughing in check. (interruption) I don\u2019t know what Sharpton is getting an award for. I don\u2019t care. Sharpton is now on the case. The Justice Brothers are on the case. They\u2019re gonna go after the Clippers advertisers, boycott this and boycott that. They\u2019re gonna shame Sterling out of the picture. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s got this sugar baby named V “Dot” Stiviano. (Hell, I don\u2019t know. That could be what she calls herself in the Internet age.) She has three or four aliases, and she\u2019s a groupie. One day she\u2019s hanging out with a guy from the Dodgers, the next night she\u2019s hanging around with a guy from the Lakers, and here she is being kept by Sterling. He bought her a house and a new car. And he gave her, I think, a $1.5 million in cash. <\/p>\n

At that point, the ex-wife who still runs the team, said, “Okay, wait a minute. This is getting too far because that\u2019s mine. Now we\u2019re getting into what\u2019s gonna eventually be my money.” So the ex-wife has played a role. V. Stiviano has released a tape because she\u2019s trying to write a book about all this and her theory is, her story is that Sterling asked her to make these recordings of private thoughts. <\/p>\n

They are indeed private thoughts that this guy shared. Start thinking about if the NSA was taping your private thoughts and somebody got mad at you and decided to release them to TMZ. I mean, where would you be if anybody cared? (interruption) No they can\u2019t. They can\u2019t legally take the team away. There\u2019s nothing in the bylaws. I mean, baseball, the Cincinnati Reds\u2019 Marge Schott?<\/p>\n

It took Major League Baseball years to convince her to sell the Reds. So there\u2019s nothing in the bylaws to take the team away from him. There\u2019s nothing in the bylaws to make him sell it. All they can do is put financial pressure on advertisers, get all the sponsors out of there. (interruption) “What if Obama gets involved?” He already did get involved! I mean, Obama\u2019s involved. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: He also said something about Sterling. We got a long way to go, and the Sterling situation proves it!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m gonna tell you, folks, here\u2019s the bottom line: The Sterling situation is made to order for the Democrats because racism is a political strategy<\/a> to them. There isn\u2019t slavery in America. We\u2019ve got a black president. We got a black attorney general. The most popular, well-paid TV person in America is black, Oprah. We don\u2019t have a slave state anymore. We don\u2019t have anywhere near it. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re not anywhere near the kind of country these people, the Democrats, want to portray it as being. So Sterling does this, and it would be even worse if he were a Republican. You\u2019ll note that in no story do you see him identified as a Democrat. But this whole racist thing is just a political strategy, and that\u2019s why they\u2019re all salivating here. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I… I\u2019m trying to… (sigh) Look, I don\u2019t want to mention any names of people who have told me about Sterling. I mean, folks, this last trip to LA, I went out and played golf with Doc Rivers, who\u2019s the coach of the Clippers. I\u2019d never met him. He\u2019s a former coach of the Celtics and so forth, and the subject came up then. It\u2019s every day. <\/line><\/p>\n

The real question here is: Why hasn\u2019t the NBA done anything about this before now? You know that Donald Sterling is the longest tenured owner in the NBA. He has owned this team since 1981. Yeah, and I\u2019m just telling you: None of this is a surprise to anybody, if you get \u2019em to be honest with you. It\u2019s just that now his voice is on tape and they can\u2019t sweep it under the rug. <\/p>\n

They have been able to sweep this guy on the rug because the Clippers sucked, because the Clippers were constantly losers. But now the owner of the Lakers passed away and they\u2019re in trouble, and the Clippers happen to be the best team in LA right now. So there\u2019s a lot more attention on them than there usually is. <\/p>\n

I mean, they were a cast-off type team. The Lakers owned LA in many ways, not just in basketball, and so the Clippers were an also-ran out there in Disneyland. Well, they play in the same place, but now they can\u2019t sweep it under the rug because there\u2019s actual tape of the guy. It\u2019s not just people talking about it. It\u2019s his voice. But the real question is: Why didn\u2019t they do anything about this long ago? <\/p>\n

Why didn\u2019t the previous commissioner, David Stern, do anything about this long ago? The fact of the matter is they had other, more pressing problems in the NBA than this madcap owner. The guy is a slumlord. He has been sued and settled lawsuits for discrimination and all kids of things. (interruption) Well, no. It\u2019s one of these situations where I\u2019m not gonna mention any names. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m not gonna say, “X told me.” I\u2019m not gonna bring anybody into this. (sigh) But I\u2019m just telling you. (chuckling) Every time I go to LA, I ask, “Okay, what\u2019s the latest thing Sterling\u2019s done? Please tell me.” They\u2019ve been fun, entertaining stories. Now everybody has this mock outrage, and I\u2019m telling you: It\u2019s not a surprise to anybody.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So people, quite naturally in the e-mail: “What do you mean that Sterling is a Democrat and donates to left wing causes?” Well, I\u2019ll give you a couple of examples here in a second. But, folks, at some point we\u2019re gonna have to move off of this. This is a trap here, this racial strategy, this plays right into the Democrats\u2019 hands. Even though this guy\u2019s a Democrat, they get to point out, they get to say as a strategy, “We still have a racist country.”<\/p>\n

What that does is keeps enforcing guilt on people and makes them think that they\u2019ve got to do and say things, such as to pollsters, to show that they\u2019re not racist. It\u2019s almost a form of political blackmail in a sense, the way this issue is used. I mean, this guy got an NAALCP lifetime achievement award in 2009, and he had just been sued by Elgin Baylor, who is a well-known star from the past in the NBA. He had just settled a housing lawsuit, the largest housing lawsuit in history. He had just settled it. He gave big money grants to the NAALCP and other black groups, including the Black Business Association, 100 Black Men, the Special Olympics, the United Negro College Fund, and it was a tradeoff. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s giving all this money to all of these black and left-wing causes so he\u2019s able to say and do what he wants as long as the money rolls in. It\u2019s exactly what they say about us, that we only donate to charity to cover up the bigotry and the hatred that we really feel. That\u2019s what they say about us. And look, these are the people that do it. These are the phony baloney, plastic banana, good-time rock ‘n\u2019 rollers. There\u2019s a lot more important stuff out there. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, here comes the NAALCP LA chapter reacting to the Donald Sterling scandal. All this faux outrage, this faux surprise. CNN has even bumped trying to find the Malaysian jetliner for this story. This might become their next miniseries. I just saw some anchorette on CNN waving papers around, “Look at what I found! Look at what I found! This guy has been doing this kind of stuff since 2003.” No kidding! A CNN infobabe waving around, “Boy, you should see what I\u2019ve got him saying here back in 2003.” Right, everybody\u2019s known about this. Every Democrat, every NBA employee, expert, commissioner, you name it, the NAALCP in LA, everybody has known it. It\u2019s just that his money talked. <\/p>\n

But now, it\u2019s circle the wagons. It\u2019s CYA. Everybody has gotta act shocked, gotta act saddened, gotta act disappointed, gotta act surprised, gotta act, “Oh, no, how horrible it is,” blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Leigh Steinberg, poor guy, the original Jerry Maguire, the source for Jerry Maguire, Lee Steinberg, sports agent, he was just on CNN and he made a plea for calm. It didn\u2019t fly. (laughing) He said (paraphrasing), “Can we just calm down? Look, it\u2019s only Monday morning here in California and this only came to light on Saturday. You gotta give the NBA time. They\u2019ll deal with this. They\u2019ll get it right.”<\/p>\n

And some African-American woman is the other guest (paraphrasing), “No way. We\u2019re not waiting. You see what the Supreme Court just did, struck down affirmative action Michigan. I\u2019m a woman of color. I\u2019m raising children of color, and we are fed up. We are tired of this.” Ma\u2019am, it\u2019s your own political party that has been covering this stuff up. I just marvel at this. This is the kind of stuff that on the wrong day can make you lose faith in everything. ‘Cause these clowns just get away with it, they just get away with this stuff. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re the ones that swept this under the rug. They\u2019re the ones that covered it up. They\u2019re the ones that took his money. They\u2019re the ones that looked the other way. All the players in the league that have signed free agent contracts and gone there have known who owns the team. Now look at that. There are 20 people there at the NAALCP event all lining up waiting to get to the microphone to express their outrage and their surprise and their sadness. <\/p>\n

If they\u2019re not careful out there they\u2019re gonna light a match. If they\u2019re not careful they\u2019re gonna make some people mad to the point that they start exhibiting their anger. Yeah. They\u2019re gonna have to be real careful about how far they go with this show of faux outrage. We wouldn\u2019t want this to lead to civil unrest. How long is it gonna be before somebody trots out Rodney King? No, Rodney died, didn\u2019t he? Oh, no. Well, who took his place? Nobody yet? Well, we\u2019ll just wait and hope for calm in Southern California, all the while keeping a sharp eye on the latest developments. <\/p>\n

As the latest developments develop, we\u2019ll pass them on to you. (interruption) Mr. Snerdley is just asking, “What else are they hiding?” You mean that they know he said or done, what… (interruption) Oh, oh, oh, oh, that is a good question. Who else are they covering up for? What other left-wing racists or bigots out there give money to the right places and are being covered up and massaged, if you. That\u2019s a good question. Because when there\u2019s one, there\u2019s others. Sterling\u2019s not the only guy. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Donald Sterling, since 1998, has been a registered Republican. Just learned this. But now wait a minute. Wait a minute. That doesn\u2019t change anything. Because it means the NAACP has been giving awards to a Republican all these years, which would have been news. They wouldn\u2019t have done that if they\u2019d known. Nobody knew it. Now, the source for this is the estimable Mother Jones<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Now, wait a second. I want to share with you that even they issue a qualifier here. “On Sunday, Michael Hiltzik, a Los Angeles Times columnist, tweeted that local voter records show Sterling to be a registered Republican ‘since 1998.\u2019 We followed up on that, and a search of the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder\u2019s website for Sterling\u2019s name, date of birth, and address confirmed that he\u2019s registered as a Republican.”<\/p>\n

But, they say, “There\u2019s little reason to get excited about Sterling\u2019s political affiliation. But if you choose to do so, you ought to get it right,” meaning it doesn\u2019t matter. There\u2019s no ground to be gained by pointing out the guy is a Republican because he\u2019s been donating to Democrats. He\u2019s been supporting Democrat causes. But we want to get it right here, as you know. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Leon Jenkins. Leon Jenkins runs the LA chapter of the NAALCP in Los Angeles. By the way, I\u2019ve got some e-mail asking, “What do you mean NAA\u2019L\u2019CP?” They\u2019re new listeners. It\u2019s the National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People, NAALCP, \u2019cause they don\u2019t care about the advancement of Clarence Thomas.<\/p>\n

And they don\u2019t care about the advancement of any number of black conservatives such as Dr. Sowell and any number of others. The National Association for the Advancement of Liberal (or Leftist) Colored People. So Leon Jenkins had a press conference, and they must have had 20 people at that podium. An unidentified reporter says: How much money did Donald Sterling give you guys?<\/p>\n

JENKINS: It was not a significant amount of money.<\/p>\n

REPORTER: How much?<\/p>\n

JENKINS: I\u2019m not gonna tell you the amount, but it —<\/p>\n

REPORTER: Why not?<\/p>\n

JENKINS: Because I just said it. It\u2019s an insignificant amount of money, and we\u2019re gonna return it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “I\u2019m not gonna tell you how much money he gave. It doesn\u2019t amount to anything. We\u2019re gonna give it back.” But wait a minute, this was the second lifetime achievement award he was gonna get. (laughing) You mean those don\u2019t cost anything? (interruption) You can\u2019t buy a lifetime achievement award? (laughing) Why else was he getting one? So the reporter said, “Back in 2009, Mr. Sterling was honored with a lifetime achievement award from the NAACP. Any plans to revoke that as well?”<\/p>\n

JENKINS: No, he was not. I believe that was a humanitarian award, and that was an award or a decision that I inherited. The prior president had made that commitment and I just honored it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “So don\u2019t look at me, pal! I didn\u2019t do it. Nothing to see here.” That\u2019s the old Bart Simpson defense. “Nobody saw me do it. You can\u2019t prove anything! I didn\u2019t do it! I had nothing to do with it. My predecessor, George W. Bush, gave him that award, and I had nothing to do with it. All I did was honor it.” I\u2019ll tell you, this Leon Jenkins has got a sterling defense down pat. It\u2019s just a sterling defense of the actions of the NAALCP. <\/p>\n

“No, it was not a lifetime achievement award. It was a humanitarian award!” (laughing) Well, that\u2019s even better (laughing), \u2019cause the Reverend Jackson just said that he\u2019s paying all these guys but giving them no dignity. I always thought that the owner had one job. I mean, the boss had one job, and that was to come off with the check. I always thought the check was the dignity. <\/p>\n

Now, there are times I wanted to be treated nicely, times I wanted to be respected and so forth, but people are people. If the check came, the check came. Grab 13 and 14. We might as well get these out of the way before we get to the homeless iPhone scandal. This is Chuck, Chuck Barkley, a former friend of mine. He used to be a good friend of mine until I don\u2019t know when.<\/p>\n

I guess it was when Obama got elected, and then Chuck started not liking me anymore. This is Saturday afternoon during TNT\u2019s coverage of the playoffs, which the Clippers are in for the first time in like the millennium. It really is an unfortunate thing for these guys, because they are in the playoffs. They\u2019re also-rans. The Lakers own LA. The Clippers are finally there! You know, I wish…<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t remember this guy\u2019s name, but Kathryn and I, two trips to LA ago, went to the Grand Havana Club to have dinner. You know why? ‘Cause you can have a cigar. You can have a cigar while you are eating dinner at the Grand Havana Club. You can have a cigar while you\u2019re having an adult beverage. You can have a cigar while other people are eating, and nobody complains.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s ventilated. They open the sliding glass doors or whatever. It\u2019s a great, great place, and we decided to eat at the bar. And I sat next to a guy who was a former player for the Clippers. I can\u2019t remember his name. But we got to discussing cigars. This guy loves cigars. I ended up having a box of cigars delivered to his house the next day. I gave him one of my favorite cigars and said, “You have got to taste this. If you like cigars, taste this.”<\/p>\n

He liked it, so I sent him a surprise box. I got his address and I had it messengered over the next day. I can\u2019t remember his name. It\u2019s slipping my mind. I\u2019ve been trying to remember it all day, and I think it was former player. He might be a current player with the Clippers, but something tells me he was a former player. We had great conversations all night long. The Grand Havana Club was great.<\/p>\n

They have one in New York, too. I just wanted to mention that because any time I can put myself in the middle of a story, I\u2019ll take the chance. (interruption) Well, it does speak to the dignity of it. I mean, he and I had dignity for each other, and the dignity extended to my sending him a box of cigars the next day. In fact, it was more than a box. It was actually a sampler set.<\/p>\n

He sent me a text. I\u2019ll bet that\u2019s how I can find it! I\u2019ll betcha I have it right here. I know it\u2019s in here. I\u2019ll find the guy\u2019s name. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019ll embarrass him. I could ruin the guy\u2019s career. (laughing) But it\u2019s right in here. That\u2019s it. I\u2019ll find it. Anyway, here\u2019s Chuck Barkley, Saturday, TNT, during it is Pacers-Hawks playoff game.<\/p>\n

Ernie Johnson is the anchor talking to the analyst Chuck Barkley about Sterling and all this. Ernie Johnson said, “You can read these statements over and over, and you still can\u2019t believe what you\u2019re reading.” Ernie, everybody can believe it. Everybody knew it, and I\u2019m getting blue in the face saying so. Here\u2019s what Chuck said.<\/p>\n

BARKLEY: We cannot have an NBA owner discriminatin\u2019 against a league that… We\u2019re a black league, Ernie. We are a black league. I don\u2019t know the number, but I probably tell you 80% of our players are black.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Chuck, I\u2019m telling you. You\u2019re one of these guys that\u2019s known about Sterling for as long as you\u2019ve been in the NBA. Paul Westphal, the former coach of the Phoenix Suns, has said it. Donald Sterling is the NBA\u2019s worst kept secret. (interruption) What? What are you wagging your finger at me for? What…? (interruption) Did Chuck just discriminate here? (interruption) He\u2019s… (interruption)<\/p>\n

Chuck said, “We cannot have an NBA owner discriminatin\u2019 against a league that… We\u2019re a black league, Ernie. We are a black league. I don\u2019t know the number, but…” Well, that\u2019s a good point. How\u2019s Sterling discriminating against the league? (interruption) I mean, yeah, he\u2019s not discriminating against his team. His team\u2019s in the playoffs. He\u2019s paying free agents. It\u2019s a good point. <\/p>\n

By the way, what if the NHL called itself “a white league”? What would happen? We\u2019d have big, big problems. “The NHL was so undignified as to proclaim itself a white league, Ernie!” All right, now, here\u2019s Earvin “Magic” Johnson Sunday afternoon on NBC\u2019s NBA Countdown. Sage Steele is the infobabe and she says, “Since your name was brought in by the man believed to be Donald Sterling these recordings, what do you do plan to go going forward,” Magic?<\/p>\n

JOHNSON: I\u2019m going to say what I\u2019ve been saying all along. He\u2019s got to give up the team. You\u2019ve got the president of the United States saying that this is bad. You got all the fans around the country, different races of people saying it\u2019s bad. It\u2019s time for him to exit.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019ll find a way to make that happen, by the way. (interruption) Well, no, no. They can\u2019t make him sell it, and they can\u2019t take it away from him, but they can put pressure on the league, put pressure on the sponsors to not have anything to do with it. They can suspend him and they can fine him like a million bucks or whatever, or tell him he can\u2019t go to Spago and it might really ruin his day. There are things they can do, but they can\u2019t take the team away from him.
