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're letting the Saudi babe, err, woman, wear her hijab because it's required that her head be covered in public. I kid you not. They did relent.

CALLER: And they should have had a thank you card to the people of the United States.
RUSH: And you saw an ad where GE is giving used neonatal care devices to the British?
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: Fascinating.
CALLER: Yes, it is.
RUSH: Absolutely fascinating. So they take our hand-me-downs?
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: And then they throw ceremonies to themselves.
CALLER: That's correct.
RUSH: You know, General Electric still owns 49% of NBC. Comcast owns 51%. So GE, it's kind of like they're paying themselves. GE's 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't sell it to anybody else and they had to go --
