Time Text
Watch this.
When you glorify violence on entertainment and television, you add to anti-social behavior.
Yeah, how about dealing with real anti-social behavior like murder, riots, and mayhem, Senator Simon, instead of this fake stuff?
Senator Simon spoke before the Illinois Broadcasters Association a couple weeks ago.
You know what he said?
He said that they've got research.
Put that in quotes.
Research that shows TV violence has a negative impact on children may be responsible for half the violence in the United States, half of it.
Well, who's responsible for the other half?
I mean, if TV's only responsible for half of it, who is responsible for the other half?
And what are they watching in Somalia, Senator?
What are they watching in Bosnia?
What are they watching in Haiti?
I mean, this is absolute nonsense.
We don't need the federal government determining the content of programs on television, and that's where this is all headed because we seem to just be willing to sacrifice whatever freedom we have.
This is not the way to deal with it.
This is an issue of responsibility, proper education, parents taking control, and teaching kids that it's not right.
How many times do you think?
Now, you got to make sure you teach that dog not to chase cars.
Dog chases a car and you spank the dog.
Kids go out and lay in front of the street or in the street in front of oncoming cars.
It's television's fault.
We're out of whack here, folks.
It's personal responsibility.
That's what we've got to get a handle on, or we're going to all just going to go down to drain anyway.
We'll be back with more after this.
Now you can receive free this up-close profile of Rush Limbaugh, the man most feared by the Clinton administration.
Suddenly, this year, our readership has tripled.
Why?
Because American Spectator reveals never-before published information about AIDS and Magic Johnson, plus the truth about Anita Hill, Ted Kennedy, Oliver Stone, Jesse Jackson, and Hillary Clinton.
At American Spectator, we tell our writers to dig deeper, get the inside facts, write the truth, and let the chips fall where they may.
And here's the result.
The hardest-hitting, wittiest magazine around, the American Spectator cuts through the nonsense of news and world events to go right to what is really happening in the United States and around the world.
I subscribe to it, I read it, and I think it's one of the best magazines around.
To receive a trial subscription to American Spectator, call the toll-free number on the screen.
Call Malin.
We'll rush you our free profile on Rush Limbaugh, along with 12 issues of the American Spectator, the most fearless magazine in America.
So, do you like good, clean, fun, or would you rather play dirty?
You can do it all in the classic four-wheel drive Jeep Cherokee Sport.
It has a 190 horsepower engine, shift and the fly, four-wheel drive, optional four-wheel anti-lock brakes, and air at no extra charge.
And with savings like this, Cherokee Sport doesn't play hard to get.
See your local Jeep and Eagle dealer.
570 KBI, the one that's hot, is the only place you'll find Rush Limbaugh.
Saying more in five seconds than the average host says in an entire show, Rush Limbaugh, talent on loan from God here on the EIB Network.
Here's Seattle's best-known conservative, John Carlson, out of the box and on KBI, weekdays 4 to 6 p.m.
Face it, folks, you are addicted to this show.
Two reasons why 570 KVI is the one that's hot.
I can revisit something.
We had a great sexual harassment, actually a date rape story.
Look, I've told you people that the lunatic fringe of the feminist movement is now reported as the mainstream of feminism.
And I've told you women out there, be careful about calling yourself feminists, because it's the leaders and the fringe and the lunatics out there defining what feminism is.
And I've always taken a lot of heat for that, but I'm right.
it's true look at the Here, let me show you again.
A cover of this week's newsweek, Sexual Correctness, and I got a bunch of quotes in here from a bunch of feminist leaders today, teachers, professors.
I want to go through this one one more time.
It's relevant to the story coming up.
Mary P. Cost, professor of psychology, University of Arizona, says, the law punishes the drunk driver who kills a pedestrian.
And likewise, the law needs to be there to protect the drunk woman from the driver of the penis.
Now, this story, this story calls this, calls this important stuff.
Here's another one: Linda Fairstein, or maybe it's Fairstein, I'm not sure how to pronounce it.
She is the Manhattan Sex Crimes Prosecutor and the author of Sexual Violence, Our War Against Rape.
Here's what she says: If she's drunk, she's not mentally there, and her consent counts for zip.
So women are not responsible for anything that happens to them these days, folks.
Go to London.
21-year-old college student, a graduate by the name of Austin Denellen, was accused by a woman of raping her while she was drunk.
Here are the stories, and that's him in the upper left-hand corner.
Now, this story has so much to it.
During the trial, the jury heard testimony about how Denellen and his accuser frequented college parties where students get drunk, have casual sex.
The woman testified that she and Denellin were friends.
They had kissed at the party on the night of the incident, but kisses meant nothing to her.
Absolutely nothing.
She said she drank too much.
She awoke in a room in the college's dorm room to find Denellin having oral sex and then intercourse with her.
And the prosecutor said, Well, he's just out there engaging in all this with a rag doll.
He said, Nope, this is not a dead piece of meat I was having sex with.
This idea that she was in a drunken stupor is a lie.
I think she was very aware of what was happening.
If she was not aware, I wouldn't have proceeded with sex.
You know what he did?
He went out and hired his own investigator.
He brought charges against her.
He took this.
He didn't take it standing up, laying down, bending over, or whatever.
He did.
No, he went down, he hired his own investigators, and ended up, the judge ended up saying, well, look, if she can't be sure it was rape, then how can the jury?
And the whole case was thrown out.
He was acquitted in one hour.
And the anti-rape feminist activists are all mad.
But let me tell you what happened here, folks.
This is exactly what happened.
He went driving with his penis.
Admitted that.
He admitted that.
But he didn't drive on a drunk road.
We'll be back right after this.

Thursday, while NBC is showing reruns, there's all new comedy on Fox first.
I'm writing a stand-up of Mr. Burns for his birthday.
His poop, one word or two.
Homer wants to be a comedian.
Here's an impression of Mr. Burns that you might find cheeky.
But will he bomb?
Hey, Mr. Burns.
Blah, blah, blah.
Destroy him.
And all new Simpsons.
Then she once broke his heart.

Have you heard about Tara the dog?
What kind of dog is this?
Roll the videotape.
It's a huge dog.
Look at that dog.
That dog is accused of biting a little girl.
It's been in jail over in Bergen County, New Jersey for the longest time.
Bridget Bardot's come to the defense of this dog.
They're all the stories.
Death Row Dog has some appeal.
Death in cards for Dora.
What would put the dog?
They want to convict it and say the gas chamber.
Dog!
A dog!
We're spending more time trying to put a dog to death than we are anything else.
There is a major problem here, and that is they may not have enough evidence for conviction.
Simply biting a little girl.
This dog, probably, given the things going on in our society, all they have to do is the dog was watching Rin Tin Tin or Lassie and got the wrong message staying up late at night.
But I'll tell you that we have a solution for this problem for this dog.
And I know the owner of the dog probably watches this show.
The dog owner, it's just a dog.
It's just a dog.
She lives in New Jersey.
What we need to do, we need to find out if this dog has committed any crimes in New York so that the governor of New York, Mario Cuomo, will, we need him.
We need him to extradite this dog.
If you have been bitten by this dog and you live in New York, let the governor know so he can extradite, because the dog will not be put to death in New York.
It'll be made a hero or something.
At least it'll be put in jail for 20 years and the dog owner can save it.
That's how you solve problems.
We solve problems.
We have solutions.
This is the Rush Limbaugh Show, the most talked about show on TV.
We'll see you next time.
Bye.

The views and opinions expressed on the Rush Limbaugh show do not necessarily reflect the views of the staff and management of KCPQ TV or the Kelly Television Company.
Rush Limbaugh is brought to you by Investor's Vault, the Northwest's largest discounter of gold and silver.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Rush Limbaugh.
Welcome, my friends, to another exciting chapter of Rush Limbaugh, the television show.
As usual, much excitement is in your face, right straight ahead here.
And without any further ado, let's get started with it.
Something incredibly funny occurred at the White House yesterday.
There was a big, big meeting on the White House lawn yesterday afternoon.
They pitched a tent, and they brought a bunch of people, businesses, high-tech and otherwise, inside this tent.
It was actually a pro-NAFTA meeting, a bunch of businesses that do a lot of manufacturing in America and sell to Mexico.
companies that do not export jobs companies that have not closed down and moved down to mexico as the ending after forces say and as part of the display inside this tent the lego come you know what legos are Baby know what Legos are?
Everybody know that?
By the way, everybody here is tonight from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Is that pretty much true?
I mean, a great day.
Not everybody.
Not everybody.
He's got some people from other parts of the country too, New York and New Jersey, and the bus driver is hidden over there somewhere.
We're doing our best to keep him awake.
Legos, there he is again.
You know, I'll tell you, this show is keeping charter airlines and charter bus companies in business.
I mean, they're chartering in from all over the country, chartered in from Dallas, and they're chartering in now from Harrisburg.
And we've got a lot more of that as the season unfolds.
Anyway, Legos are little, the toys for kids.
In essence, they're plastic building blocks.
So what they did, this Lego company, has manufactured a three-foot-tall White House.
It's an exact replica of the White House.
And so all of the heavyweight hitters in the Clinton administration are there, including Labor Secretary Robert B. Rice.
Hey, audience, isn't it?
Now, see, there it is.
Oh, wait, wait.
Wait just a minute.
What happened was, see, the president, now, see, this is kind of like Bill Don't Call Me Ted Danson Clinton speaking.
Because what he did, and Lord Benson, the Treasury Secretary, was standing alongside.
And this three-foot-high replica of the White House is there, and Clinton's running around inspecting it.
Ooh, look at that.
Very, very nice.
And he said this.
Said, why, Secretary Reich could almost live in there?
There's a guy.
Now, the reason I support the president, because the only reason we can show you that picture is because the president thinks it's okay to say that.
And Reich didn't get mad.
Reich thought it was hey.
He chuckled about it, but you know who didn't like it?
He waggled a fatherly finger at him, and that would be Lord Benson.
Whoa, no, he said.
Now, we have videotape, but interestingly enough, we called today and said, we want videotape of this incident.
We want to show America what happened.
And they sent us the tape.
Now, guess what?
This has been edited out.
You'll see Lord Benson.
I'll put now wait.
You'll see a jump cut.
You call it a jump cut.
It's an edit.
You'll see this plain as day.
And you'll see, and you can't hear anything.
It's just a crowd noise.
There's a lot of din.
But you will see, and I'll point this out to you, I'll guide you through this as we go.
You will see Lord Benson goes, and he's laughing.
So right here, roll a tape.
All right, there's the noise.
You'll see Lord Benson here approach from the left.
There's the president.
His back is to us.
Watch the edit.
Watch the edit here.
Coming up.
That was the edit.
See Lord Benson?
Point has been no.
They cut out the joke, my friends.
They refused to send us whoever we got this from.
We have many sources.
But that was the, he actually said that.
So I thought you'd like to see it.
Of course, Reich, it brings up an interesting point.
Reich was not offended by it.
I mean, he and Clinton have been friends for a long time.
They've laid in the grass, a bunch of weeds coming out of their mouths.
They have.
I mean, they have, obviously, have.
Haven't you seen that on Sunday afternoons on college campuses?
You lay it around, you're thinking about girls, and you're studying and so forth.
You've got reeds or something coming out of your mouth, and you're talking about how you're going to screw up America if you ever get the chance.
Now, my friends, as you know, we have been chronicling how unfair men have been treating women in America lately.
I've been telling you that the radical lunatic fringe of the feminist movement is being perceived as the centrist normal feminist movement.
And I, of course, have taken issue with that.
And anytime now that we are sensitized to these kinds of discoveries, you look at things in a different light.
Now, I have just come across a story here.
Women make up the overwhelming percentage of foot surgery patients.
And you know why women have more foot surgeries than men?
It's because they wear shoes that are too tight.
This is from a new scientific survey.
2,100 foot surgeries were studied, and they were in the last 15 years, and they found that more than 80% of the patients were women and that their problems stem primarily from wearing tight shoes.
Michael Coughlin, an orthopedic surgeon who conducted this survey for Science Writers Seminar in New York.
Now, how would you like to be this guy?
He's 10 years old.
His parents say, Michael, what do you want to be when you grow up?
I want to study female foot surgery.
Here's what he said.
The results of the study should educate consumers, shoe designers, manufacturers, and salespersons that shoes must be comfortable and fit well at the time of purchase.
Well, do you see where this is going?
Guess who sells shoes to women?
Men.
It's men's fault.
Why do men want women wearing high heels and shoes a bit too tight so women's legs will be appealing to men, right?
And I bet you, I'll even bet you that these shoe clerks are getting these women drunk when they sell these shoes.
So that the next day when the woman wakes up and her shoes are too tight.
I didn't know.
It's not a woman's fault that she's wearing her shoes too tight.
I thought you'd like to know.
The oppression of women continues.
Ladies and gentlemen, we here at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network television division are very diverse.
We don't just do a TV show.
I have a radio show.
I have a newsletter with 380,000 subscribers.
I have a line of licensed merchandise, ditto head t-shirts, ditto lapel pins.
I don't wear this stuff because I don't want to appear crash and commercial.
but we never wanted you people think that i look at you as customers That's why.
But I tell the truth.
Here's people from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and I don't believe it.
The people in New York are, yeah, yeah, he's there.
So anyway, anyway, I write books.
We branch out all kinds of things.
We are a, I am, as news, no, as U.S. News and World Report, perhaps the best news weekly out there today called me a one-man media empire.
Well, we are, we're branching out in any number of ways, and we always like to be on the cutting edge.
And we have a new sponsor on our show tonight, and it's a sponsor that is part of us.
We are going to buy advertising from ourselves to run this commercial, so everything will be legal.
But we get a new sponsor.
We always run the commercial outside commercial time so everybody will see it.
Here, ladies and gentlemen, is our new sponsor and my new business.
It's called EIB Bricks.

EIB announces the ultimate weapon, EI Bricks.

But we have a great show.
We're going to talk a little bit more about David Williams and this whole business of the Houston Oilers and the new age man.
And we're going to go back in time and show you how, boy, are you lucky you have me as your host?
I was right.
Little I Told You So segment.
And some other things, too.
So stay right where you are.
We'll be right back with all the rest of it.
Chicken sounds good.
I head for Long John.
Something tells me I should.
For $199, I hear a voice say, chicken at Long John's will blow you away.
Hey, what am I thinking?
Am I in outer space?
Can the world's best chicken be at a fish place?
And the voice said, chicken at Long John's is just a thing.
So many choices, those taste buds will sing.
Luck for your buck.
So I stopped at the salon.
Couldn't believe my eyes.
Got the $199 fish, chicken, and fries.
So if you think of chicken, you gotta go fish.
Long John Sillbush is gonna catch your wish.

Remember, remember where that started.
We're glad you're back, ladies and gentlemen.
We want to continue this discussion of David Williams' offensive right tackle, the Houston Oilers, because it's amazing what's happened today.
We tape it's Thursday as we tape this show.
All kinds of people are coming out in support of David Williams.
Why, this is actually amazing.
And the people who are coming out in support of him are the most surprising.
Why, we've got Vice President Al Gore chiming in for David Williams.
Vice President Al Gore is out there saying being with your family and building a strong family is important.
Well, it's about time they came to this realization.
Where were they in previous years?
I mean, these guys don't own the family values issue, and now they're trying to latch onto it.
Anna Quindlin.
Now, Anna Quinlan, she's a columnist in the New York Times.
Now, this is a woman who said about you, who said about people who listen and watch Rush Limbaugh radio and TV programs, that if these programs were on the air during the Emancipation Proclamation, we would have opposed it.
This, that's the kind of woman.
This is a woman who doesn't.
Oh, yes, she did say that.
This woman doesn't go to the office to work.
This woman does.
David Williams at least has to go to Boston and play, has to go to practice.
She's coming out in support of him.
But I'll explain all this in just a minute because there's more to this than meets the eye.
First, we sent our cameras out on the streets of New York today to ask people what they thought.
Who was right, who was wrong, basically on whose side?
And this is surprising.
And this is not everybody we talk to, but it's an accurate representation of the people in terms of percentages.
Watch this.
Here we go.
Ma'am, who do you agree with in this Houston Oiler slap?
Is it with the Oilers or is it with the linemen?
I agree with the Oilers.
I think he had a responsibility to his job, and he should have been at his job.
I think that the fine shouldn't have been as much.
But everybody isn't a Lou Garrick, if you know what I mean.
He was married and he played ball on the same day he got married.
The man was concerned about his wife, his new child.
I think he should have been fined maybe $10,000, but not $125,000.
I think David Williams is right.
I mean, family is important, you know, and that should be considered in any situation.
You know, so in that case, I mean, he has an obligation to the team, but he also has an obligation to his family.
He's a professional ball player.
His wife did give birth the day before.
They docked him a day's pay, which was a game.
And he certainly owes them that much, and the other guys on the team, and especially with their record at this time of the year.
I've had three children, and I wasn't at the birth of any of those three children.
I was earning a living so I could bring up those three children properly.
And I think this is, again, feminizing the American people, putting birth ahead of earnings for the man.
There you go.
That's it.
That's it.
This guy, I was out there trying to earn a living to support those children.
The babies are going to be born whether I'm there or not.
This is not a criticism of David Williams, by the way.
I want to point out the generational differences.
And there's something here very important, too, that you've got to consider, too, where our society is going.
Most people, I dare say most people look at a job as an entitlement.
They look at the employer as there to have a job for them.
People don't understand what the purpose of a job is.
They don't understand how the job is created and how the job is held on to and so forth.
People just look at more and more people do as a job is an entitlement.
It's something they deserve.
It's almost a right.
And people are concerned about sick days.
We got 12 weeks of family leave now.
I mean, this guy is just simply, blame the federal government for this if you want to, because that's what made all this possible.
He could miss 12 games as far as the federal law is concerned.
But the bottom line is this.
They're both right.
He decided that it was worth $111,000 to him to see the birth of his baby.
And the Oilers said, fine, if you're not going to live up to the terms of your contract and you're going to cause us to make all kinds of changes in our game plan and so forth, as late as the night before the game, we'll dock you the pay.
Now, there have been a lot of people come out and favor this.
Let's listen to Senator Vice President Al Gore.
Watch this, and I'll explain it to you after you see it.
It's very short.
Management said, oh, they just accused him of being a traitor to the team and trying to penalize him and everything.
We're with David Williams.
You are against American business, Vice President Al Gore.
That's what they see here, folks.
They see an opportunity to lash business and side with the old, poor, middle-class guy who makes $2 million a year.
Who's being unfairly dumped on by his evil bosses?
That's what Gore loves.
Because where were these guys with Murphy Brown?
I mean, these guys were all over the family values on the wrong side, the family values issue.
Now they're latching onto it.
It's not about that.
Anna Quindlin.
There it is.
Williams won Oilers Nothing.
The goal is family.
Hey, Anna, way to go.
Anna Quinlan has come out for birth.
That's a first for her.
Really, I mean, this is a woman who's out there hoping and praying that as many women who want to have abortions can do so.
That's her issue.
If that offends you, I'm sorry, but she's one of these women who offer whatever women need to do to emancipate themselves and set themselves apart and give themselves as much independence as they can.
And for her to come out in favor of this, there's another secret.
I don't have time to read the whole column here to you.
But she's defined manhood now as what David Williams did.
This is a chance for her to attack macho masculinity.
That's what's driving Anna Quinlan.
Here is a chance for her to say, yeah, this masculinity, macho stuff, see, that's the old hat.
We need guys like David Williams, who's and the guy you just heard in Mano Street, the feminization of American men.
That's what they want, these militant feminists, and so that's why they're jumping on this.
Don't think there's any other reason for it.
Before I go out of this, I just want to remind you of one more thing.
And I tried to get in this a little bit last night about this, and it's tough to explain.
See, I don't think most people understand the mindset of people who play and coach professional football.
It is my pass.
I mean, we're all Walter Mitte's.
If I could do anything, it would be play professional football or run an airport.
Those are the two things if I weren't doing them.
Really, I love because professional football teams fly on airplanes to get the road games, and I would be there when the teams arrive.
So I mean, I love professional football.
And there's no, you know, if you haven't played it at any level, you do not understand what it's like.
It's not like baseball.
It's not like basketball.
It's not like rugby.
It's not like these tennis, these lackadaisical sports.
Look at Jimmy Johnson, coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
Here's a guy.
They win the NFC title.
It's onto the Super Bowl.
And he calls his parents and says, look, I don't want you coming out here.
I don't want to be anywhere near me this week.
I don't have time to entertain you.
I don't have time to worry about whether you're getting around okay, whether your water's hot in a hotel.
I don't want to have to go to dinner with you.
I've got to work.
This is not fun for me.
And he set up a big screen TV and said, stay in Oklahoma.
Now, that may seem cold-hearted and callous, but that's just the way a lot of people football are.
And Jimmy Johnson, of course, is much like people in the military.
That's where you have to go to get the analogy.
And that's why people don't understand the Oilers' action here.
But it seems like most people do.
I'm heartened when I listen to the Men on the Street stuff.
They're both right, is the thing.
That's what you should take away from all this.
And Al Gore and Anna Quinlan are barking up the wrong tree and choosing sides.
We'll be back after this with more.

I told you this is going to be an I Told You So segment on this show.
That opportunity for us to demonstrate how fortunate you are to have me as your host and how fortunate you are to be watching the show.
We're going to do here is say, here's what I told you was the truth or what was going to happen, and sometime later it bore me out as correct.
First off, let's look at this show, October 18th of this year, regarding the Haiti blockade.
We got our six ships stationed somewhere.
We've got two here, we got two here, and two here.
And they're talking about a successful blockade.
Do you know how you get to the Dominican Republic?
Or to Haiti?
You simply take your ship and you dock it here in the Dominican Republic.
I've been there, it's easy.
And you just simply cross the border.
You go overland.
It's not going to work.
Let's show you USA Today two days later.
Here's the story as it appeared in the paper.
Haiti's contraband expressway is bustling.
Embargo can't seal the border.
A big, long story explaining the only thing missing in the story was that Rush Limbaugh mentioned this on his TV show two nights ago.
Now, I have, I've been really on the lead in this.
Everybody's wondering, how come we cannot defeat this warlord or even find him in Somalia?
And I told you, because I'll tell you who told me, Itza Krabine, Prime Minister of Israel.
And Shimon Peres, Foreign Minister of Israel, told me that the funding for all these warlords in Somalia is part of the Islamic fundamentalist movement coming from Iran, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia.
And I mentioned this.
Here's the tape of that show where I predicted it, mentioned it.
Now, if you want to get out of there, we're going to have to do it.
There's no reason to be there.
There's absolutely no reason.
I'll tell you where it's all coming from.
It's coming from Iran.
Iranian Islamic fundamentalism via Sudan is where the Somalis are getting their weapons.
They're where they're getting their strategy.
This is designed to embarrass us, and it's succeeding.
15 days later, in the newspaper, here is the story as it appeared: Somalia, the Saudi Connection, U.S. intervention aimed at countering a threat to Riyadh from Iranian fundamental.
My friends, you don't need to read those papers, or you can, but you'll find out what's in them much earlier if you watch me.
We'll be back right after this.
Well, I'm glad the president's doing something about health care reform.
He's right.
We need it.
But some of these details.
Like a national limit on health care?
Really?
The government caps how much the country can spend on health care and says that's it.
So, what if our health plan runs out of money?
There's got to be a better way.
There is a better way to reform.

The other day on this show chronicled all of the things that are out of kilter, that we're just seemingly out of whack upon.
Here's an illustration of what I mean.
Look at these two headlines.
In Los Angeles, a verdict of peace.
Peace ought to have nothing to do with what goes on in the courtroom.
It's not what this is about.
Look at below it.
Elderly man faces jail for beating dog.
79-year-old guy is going to go to jail for five years for beating a dog.
But we have peace in Los Angeles because people who broke the law and tried to kill somebody were found not guilty of it.
Just another example.
Don't mean to end on a sad note.
It's not a sad note.
It ought to fire you up.
I'm fired up.
Another show coming up soon.
See you then.
Bye.

Thank you very much.
You know, there's a woman in this audience.
I just, I know she doesn't want to be here.
I just, I've been trying to find out.
I came out in the audience warm up and says, is there any liberal here?
No, it's not you.
No, It's not her.
It's not her, she's very, no, no, no, I'm, I, there's, there's, I.
I just, I don't want to point her out because I don't want to embarrass her.
I have no idea.
She's not standing up during any of the ovations.
She's not applauding during the times any of the audience applauds.
But she's smiling.
So, you know, I don't quite understand it.
She knows who she is, but I'm not going to point her out.
We have a show to do here, folks.
I'm glad you've joined.
Wait a minute.
I don't have to unbutton this.
I've lost weight.
I can sit down with this still button.
See, look at this.
All right.
My friends, we talked as we got together on our most recent broadcast.
We talked about the tent that was set up at the White House that was pro-NAFTA.
All these people that came in that manufacture high-tech things.
I mean, Microsoft was in there, and Sarah Lee and a number of other people.
I don't know if you know, I was.
What am I going to tell them is high-tech about Sarah Lee?
And I, it's probably the way they manufacture their goods as opposed to what the goods are.
Anyway, the whole point was that we are not exporting our jobs down to Mexico and we don't have to do it.
Well, there was also something else that went on that day on the lawn of the White House.
This is absolutely amazing.
And you have not seen this reported, I bet you, in your newspaper or, and if it's been in your newspapers, in Buried Newback somewhere, probably has not been featured prominently on your local news on TV or any of that.
And I can't let this show go by without pointing it out to you.
It's from the Washington Times on October 21st.
The headline of the story, AIDS Czar tells Americans to seek their pleasure in sex.
This is the facts as it came in to me.
We don't actually have the newspaper, but right there, AIDS Czar tells Americans to seek their pleasure in sex.
And I want to show you something.
The AIDS czar, by the way, is a woman named Christine Gebby.
And she's had a long history in the health fields.
And I wanted to pull some of the quotes from the story that indicate, I mean, I'm literally, I'm amazed.
We have this disease, AIDS, and what is it, about 96% of all cases of AIDS are spread by some kind of sexual activity.
Maybe it's 78%.
No, it's about 90.
And then the other 10 are blood transfusions and birth and drugs, IV drugs.
90% of the cases are spread by sexual activity.
And here she is, AIDS Czar tells Americans to seek their pleasure in sex.
Now, listen to some of these quotes.
Put them up individually.
Here we go.
Talking about sex in terms of don't and disease is not working.
And Americans must start viewing sex as an essentially important and pleasurable thing.
Now, how is she.
In the first place, who doesn't look at it as a pleasurable thing?
It is a, it is, is it not a temptingly pleasurable thing?
And it is called discipline and restraint to cause people to behave properly or improperly in the sexual arena.
But when it's, you've got the AIDS are out there saying, hey, go to town and enjoy it.
But how do they define talking about sex in terms of don't and disease is not working?
I mean, I can be really brazen and bold here, because I think it is.
I think that there is a vast increase in the amount of responsibility.
It just happens to be in the heterosexual adult world.
But kids, we're giving them condoms.
We're encouraging them to go out.
There's nothing we would do, but here, kid, going, we know we can't stop you.
We have the sense to stop ourselves.
Because it's not, look, I hate to say this disease is not spreading like wildfire in the heterosexual community by way of sexual content.
It's just not happening.
They can say all they want about how it's going through, but it hasn't.
Another quote.
Until they do so, we will continue to be a repressed Victorian society that misrepresents information, denies sexuality early, denies homosexual sexuality, particularly in teens, and leaves people abandoned with no place to go.
Unless we start talking about sex, we're going to be homeless.
It doesn't make sense to me.
This is our AIDS czar.
Here's another.
I want to change the way the nation looks at AIDS.
How is she going to change the way we look at AIDS?
Is there going to be a new criterion?
We ought to look at it with a lot of fear, a lot of fearful respect, a lot of trepidation.
We don't.
In fact, we do need to start looking at it that way.
She's right about this.
We're looking at it as a civil rights case.
It's the first protected virus in the country.
It has its own set of civil rights.
And we ought to stop looking at it politically and looking at it as a health issue, which we're not.
It's a political issue.
She doesn't mean that, though, so you are, again, fortunate to have me to translate what she really means or should have meant.
When we approach AIDS, we approach it as a sexual disease, not a plague.
Now, that's, by the way, not her, that's her assistant, Ben Murrill, special assistant to Christine Gebby.
When we approach AIDS, we approach it as a sexual disease, not a plague.
Are we supposed to approach it as a plague?
Is that what you would prefer us to do?
Approach it as a plague?
But it's a sexual disease too.
And it's not spreading as it nearly, it's not spreading at all in epidemic proportions in the heterosexual community.
It just isn't.
In addition, now we don't, I'm going to put this word up there because you aren't, I don't want to fan flames here, but there are people in the AIDS activist community who are unhappy with Christine Gebby.
No, you're saying, well, I would be too.
No, no, no.
Here's the AIDS czar.
I mean, this is what the AIDS community demanded that President Clinton do for them.
Now, this man's name is his name.
What I'm going to tell you is his name is, is his name.
He's changed his name.
Obviously, he's trying to make a political statement with his name.
Mr. Luke Sissy Fag.
Would you not laugh?
See, what's going to happen is I'm going to say his name.
It's his name.
It's right here in this paper.
Luke Sissy Fag, an AIDS activist who criticized Ms. Gebi, said of her comments yesterday, Christine, put your money where your mouth is.
She says the right things like Bill Clinton, but doesn't do anything about it.
So we're going to get cards and letters.
See, you're making up names.
You're making fun.
No, no, no, no.
I am just a journalist.
I'm just reporting here what I see.
We have one more story.
We've got another asinine mascot is bad story.
This time it's from the University of Alabama, Birmingham.
Do you know what their mascot here?
Look at their mascot.
Put this up there.
That is the, it's called Blaze.
That's a blazer.
That's the mascot.
There have been a button.
Now leave it up as I talk about this.
You've got to hear what the criticism of this is.
Blaze is too violent, too mean, too white, and too male.
And the athletic director, the sports information director is a guy named Grant Shingleton.
He says, I hate to use the word, but Blaze is too Aryan.
And he is a white male figure who didn't represent women or the ethnic mix on campus.
And so they got rid of Blaze.
He is gone.
That's their mascot.
This is another example of how the PC crowd, a very small minority, amplifying their voices so that it sounds thousands of times louder than it really is, has now caused another wimp administration at an institution of higher learning to cave in to a bunch of pressure.
And it's just, this is getting to be too much because, let me tell you the irony of this.
You know all the Native Americans and Indians out there who are upset like with Washington Redskins or the Tomahawk chop at the Atlanta Braves get here.
Watch that.
What do you think of this?
I love a tomahawk chop.
Why do they say we got ready to get rid of the redskins or the tomahawk chop?
Because it offends them, right?
It offends Native Americans, offends the Indians.
Well, if anybody ought to be mad at this, it ought to be Aryans.
It ought to be people who are too mean, too white, and too male.
And they're not mad.
So here it is.
The activists, you can't offend them by making fun of them, and you cannot offend them by not even talking about them.
This has nothing to do with them, and yet they say it offends.
They want to control every aspect, folks, of your thoughts and of your ability to think, speak, and whatever else.
And they got institutions caving in and going along with it.
Minnesota Vikings.
You know who'd be mad about that?
Is people who live over there in Northland?
Whatever you're, what is it, Holland, Dutch?
Do you see them complaining?
No.
Who's mad at the Vikings?
Probably some animal group is mad at the Vikings because of what they did together.
It's absolutely stupid.
And, you know, people laugh and think this is funny and so forth.
And as isolated incidents, they are funny, but it's unfortunate.
People ought to be going, you are stupid.
Go the hell back to class.
Start paying attention to what we're trying to teach you so that when you get out of here, you're capable of working and earning a living instead of sponging off the rest of society.
Now, get out of my office is what they ought to be told.

It's time to revisit this violence on television business.
We talked about it a couple of shows ago, but there are some things here which need to be said.
And I want to concentrate on the lack of personal responsibility that seems to be sweeping this country.
We want to excuse everybody for what they do, find other situations to blame, other people to blame, anything other than the person who actually does something.
Good or bad.
It's never their fault or never to their credit.
Now, we want to show you a couple more things here from Janet Reno.
And we have Senator Fritz Hollings with some brilliant speech making from the Senate hearing room where this took place.
But first, we sent our cameras out.
We asked some people on the street whether or not the government ought to get involved in determining what should be seen on television in the area of violence.
And here is what we found out there.
Sir, do you think that the government should regulate violence on television and in the movies?
Absolutely.
Because it increased violence.
You can see it with the kids, in school, with everybody.
No.
I don't think, I think if you want to go watch something, you can watch it if it's freedom of choice.
Well, I think they should have started doing that a long time ago.
I think it's gone pretty far now.
I think, yes, actually, to answer my question, maybe they could regulate it on certain channels and things like that.
The crime come from really the parents, the old generation.
I think that a lot of people, because of the working parents out there, you know, they're not really home to support the children.
I don't believe in censorship.
I don't believe in censorship because it's destructive.
It's destructive to the fabric of the country.
We need a free flow and a free exchange of ideas, and the marketplace should really regulate what we see or what we don't see.
People think there's too much violence on television.
You should turn their TV sets off and read a book.
Last two people.
That's right.
That is absolutely right.
And I want to expand.
Not to impugn anybody else with that tape.
The last two people made the most sense about this whole question.
Want to show you now Senator Hollings, who doesn't even know what's on television as he attempts now here to regulate it.
Watch this.
The TV is the most pervasive parent.
It's called a narcotic.
But the truth of the matter is, and we've got to acknowledge it, it's the most pervasive of parents all children see.
We got this, was it Buffcott and Beavo or Beava and something else?
I haven't seen it.
I don't watch it, but whatever it is, it was at 7 o'clock.
Buffcode, and they put it on now at 10.30, I think.
They've pleaded guilty, and they'll do it as long as you and I have hearings, but we just can't have hearings like we've had now for 40 years and get nowhere.
And yeah, we'll go see the Attorney General.
We'll go see the chairman.
We'll go see, go see.
We good people, you good people, and we doing it.
But the truth of the matter is, it's more and more pervasive, more and more violence on television.
Can't we do that and not really be constitutionally in violation or really hurting, as you and I don't want to do, the First Amendment?
Why not?
You, you.
Yeah, what?
You got people, we got people, and we doing it.
He's been talking to Christine Gebby, you know, the new aid czar.
Look, this is really tough because can you imagine if the founding fund, the First Amendment really is and it is, was intended to cover political speech.
And I think if the founding fathers, think of this.
Can you imagine if, say, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, any of the guys who signed the Declaration, worked on the Constitution, came back and saw Beavis and Butthead?
I mean, can you just see these guys as Beavis and Butthead signing the kind of the Declaration?
this is cool but it's it's uh... uh...
there's no question their problems There's a lot of idiots doing television.
And I disagree with some.
I want a couple of quotes here from Janet Rena.
Let's look at this still store from, this is from USA Today's cover story on Thursday.
It says, here, I want to challenge TV to substantially reduce its violent programming now or else the government will have to intervene.
We need to put a period in there after programming now.
Get that, else the government will intervene stuff out of there.
Here's another quote from her where she occasionally, she makes sense.
This woman occasionally does, and it's hard to pin her down ideologically.
But the promise of television remains vastly unfulfilled.
Too much of today's programming neither uplifts nor even reflects our national values and standards.
Instead of disseminating the best in our culture, television too often panders to our lowest common denominator.
She's right.
She's absolutely right, folks, about that.
But still, here's what you cannot lose sight of.
Mass marketing bad taste makes people think that most of America likes bad taste, but it doesn't.
The vast majority of the population of this country don't indulge in bad taste.
They don't live it that way.
Bad taste doesn't make headlines.
Bad taste does not make news, or it does make news.
Good taste and people following high standards, that's dull and boring.
And people who engage in maintaining high standards and setting high standards and living their lives according to the traditional values and institutions that made this country great, they're made fun of.
But you can't cave into this, folks.
But you don't want the government moving in and turning television into a government propaganda arm.
Look, it's real simple.
If you don't like Beavis and Butthead, turn it off.
It's real simple.
There's an on-off switch, and this is not cliched to say.
I can't believe when you see 8,000 hours a year of television or whatever it is people are watching, gee whiz, it's too much.
But it's not that difficult.
You don't need to have the government do for you what you can do for yourself because once you start letting them do for you what you can do for yourself, you'll never be able to do it for yourself again.
They won't let you.
So if you don't like your kids watching stuff, don't watch it.
Turn it off.
It's a vast wasteland anyway, except for this show where we maintain high standards.
We'll be back.

call now just something here because i went along with some other stuff There's a brilliant piece that appeared in the Thursday edition of the Wall Street Journal.
Daniel Cass, there it is, Shades of Carter in the Clinton Healthcare Plan.
What he's done here is gone back and compared the way Jimmy Carter's presidency ultimately failed with a stupid panic-generated energy program based on all kinds of contrived energy crises and fuel shortages and everything else.
And he makes the point that it was this expansive program that nobody could ever understand, that nobody could ever make head or tails of that gave Ronald Reagan his opening to go in and just campaign on a smaller, less interventive government, interventionist government in people's lives.
And this thing sent chills up down my back because I have been beating around this issue for a long time.
He really nailed it.
I wish I had written this because he talks about how there needs to be philosophical opposition to the healthcare plan and the Republicans are just waiting for a career to be made.
I want to take you through this, but I'm not going to be able to do it.
There's simply enough time and I don't always throw this stuff on the screen.
So we'll do it, I promise you, on our next show.
I want to take a break here, come back, just show you some of the latest health care problems the administration has.
They're major, and it's all good.
We'll be back after this.
Chicken sounds good.
I head for Long John.
Something tells me I should.

Hey, what am I thinking?
Am I in outer space?
Can the world's best chicken be at a fish place?
And the voice said, chicken at Long John's is just a thing.
So many choices, those taste buds will sing.
Luck for your buck.
So I stopped at the sign, couldn't believe my eyes.
Got the 199 fish, chicken, and fries.
So if you think of chicken, you gotta go fish.

Saturday night at 7 on Q13.
Time goes on, the truth comes out about this healthcare plan.
Take a look at this story, USA Today, more health plan exemptions sought.
This is a story about the National Association of Manufacturers.
Hey, we need some exemptions from this health care plan.
And the administration said, okay, okay, okay.
So they're caving in here and there.
This is another interesting story.
Hillary's task force lacks records.
White House lawyers, in a surprising federal court revelation, yesterday said that First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's healthcare reform task force was so disorganized its total membership can't even be determined.
They can't even find out who put this thing together.
It's all a sham.
They can't, there are no details.
We knew more about who was running the Soviet Union because we could have pictures at least and find out who those people were.
Finally, finally, this is not good news.
Look at this headline, my good friends.
This is from the New York Post.
That's Governor Kumo.
Health care plan bodes ill for New York.
Says the state has taken too many federal hits.
Aha, here comes the old Reagan problem.
Now, you know, New York's in bad shape because of Reagan and Bush, now Reagan, Bush, Clinton.
This simply means that Cuomo wants something.
And unless he gets it, like the next Supreme Court nomination or whatever it is, he's going to be running out there running down the health care plan.
And this is how he operates.
I'll get what I want.
I'll start criticizing what they need.
They'll have to buy me off.
Keep an eye on Cuomo.
What does he get?
That's how they finance him.
We're out of time.
Wish we weren't, but we've got a new show soon, so we'll see you back.

Thank you so much.
We got a lot of fun on tonight's show.
Some serious stuff, too.
Have you heard about the Qantas Airlines ad, the Australian Airlines?
Have you seen it maybe?
The ad shows an airline seat, a guy sitting in an airline seat on the beach.
And the implication is that you're sitting there on the beach in Australia, and this is a wonderful place to go and all that.
But guess what?
It is not Australia.
It is Hawaii.
They have deceived people.
They got NBC News investigating the story here to see if there's anything.
But I understand NBC is not interested because nothing blew up in the ad.
Hey, I got to tell you something.
About, I guess it was in May.
I just was overworked.
I just felt oppressed.
I felt underneath the weight of the world.
I had no time to myself.
This was in the midst of the budget battle, you'll remember, and we were going to town on television and on radio.
And everybody, it seemed, was calling and wanting interviews.
And I was saying, I finally put a moratorium on it.
I said, I am doing no more interviews.
And I did it on this basis.
I said, I got three hours on radio every day.
It's 15 hours a week.
I got a half hour on TV every day.
That's two and a half hours a week.
So if I add that up, I get, because I went to school in America, so it's risky.
I may not know this.
17 and a half hours a week I'm on the air and I've got, that's a lot of time.
And as you know, there are no guests here.
It's just me.
This show is not about what America thinks.
It's not about me trying to say what I think you think.
It's about what I think.
It's about what I'm interested in.
And I figured, why do I need to give interviews to people who are then going to chop up and edit what I say and maybe have it come out in a way that's not at all representative of what I think when I've got all this airtime?
So I just said, shut down, no more interviews.
And I have had more press and publicity this summer as a result of the no interview policy than I ever had when I was doing interviews.
Here's just a couple things.
Look at this.
This is Time magazine today.
There's the cover story, Voice of America.
Now, that cover is a little bit misleading.
That's me and Howard Stern noted shock draw.
It's about like putting William F. Buckley on a cover with Al Goldstein or Larry Flint.
But inside, when you get in there, I just, I want to show you some of the things.
The reason I bring this to your attention is because who would have ever thought that a major national publication such as Time would dare to get it right about me and about you.
I mean, the people who listen to or watch this show and agree with what I say.
Here are just some quotes that they're put in this story.
He has real influence, the power, says Clinton White House consultant Paul Begala, to put something like Zoe Baird on the radar screen.
But it is a good part of what makes Limbaugh the most popular broadcast commentator of the age, maybe ever.
And Limbaugh does not officially consider all feminists feminazis, only those who are enthusiastic about abortion.
This is a major, major thing because one of the constant criticisms of me is that I say that all women are feminazis, and people who know better run around and say that.
Now, with this mainstream, traditional, dominant media culture publication setting the record straight, I never thought this would happen.
Listen to this, which is not to suggest that Limbaugh's ideological sincerity and coherence are anything less than total.
He plainly believes what he says and mostly argues his case lucidly, particularly by radio standards.
Nor in this post-Reagan age can he be called an extremist.
I mean, this is climbing nearly to the top of the mountain.
It's incredible.
But in fact, his views on abortion are relatively nuanced.
So this is something that I just wanted to point out to you because it's monumental.
And also, I think that it says a lot, too, about the audience.
There's no reason to aggravate the readers of this magazine who also listen to this show by pumping out a bunch of things about me and therefore you, which aren't necessarily true.
There's another magazine that is not nearly as widely read, but in this case it ought to be.
That is the New Republic, November 8th issue, and that is a cover story on the politics of irony.
And it says, are Rush Limbaugh and David Letterman the same person?
Now, before you hear, go back to the cover if we can.
I want people to take a note of the cover shot.
Half of that face is me, and half of that face is Letterman.
And they make the point that this audience, the audience of this TV show is far more diverse than even Letterman's.
And they get the fact that this show last season was in many places outdrawing Letterman's show when he was on NBC.
No big deal, other, because we all know it, but the fact it's now been reported, this is the one thing, you know, all these late-night articles, late-night TV show articles in newspapers for the past year, this show is constantly left out.
Here now is a cover.
Now, the New Republic is the liberal version of National Review.
I mean, it is a liberal journal of opinion.
It has about 130,000 subscribers, and we're going to try to triple that or so by people wanting to buy this copy of it.
It's really, really a good story, all about the history of TV.
Now, let me show you a couple things that ran in Texas.
There's big, big news in Texas.
All this, by the way, is, I don't know if we're going to call it the mainstreaming of Rush Limbaugh in this show, but it is all of these three things that I'm showing you are signs of overcoming major obstacles now amongst these traditional institutions which heretofore have simply relegated me and you to some extreme right-wing side of the aisle.
And you know how people are always saying, well, you can't listen to people who listen to talk shows.
I mean, they're not really Americans.
They're just being influenced by these conservative guys.
This gets us over that, huh?
Corpus Christi Caller Times is the name of the newspaper.
Poll, Limbaugh Carries Clout.
Texans worry about violence and crime.
Hart Hanks is a polling unit in Texas.
Rush Limbaugh, the conservative television talk show host, carries nearly as much political clout in Texas as former President George Bush and Ross Perot, according to the Hart Hanks poll.
Look at this headline.
Many Texans taking Limbaugh seriously.
You can just hear them shuddering in the newspaper offices when they have to write that headline.
The thing is about this, they think that this is new, that people are taking me seriously.
And even in the Times story, the Times story says that one of the reasons that I am a cut above or different than ordinary or other mere conservative political commentators is that I have a sense of humor.
And everybody says, yeah, these conservatives.
It's really weird to find one with a sense of humor.
I think it's weird to find a liberal with a sense of humor, frankly.
I think, and I don't know where this all got started.
Nice color combo, wouldn't you say, Sandy?
I don't know where all this got started, because to me, liberals are always wringing their hands.
Oh, look at the world's ending.
Oh, gee, nobody's nice.
Oh, there's no compassion.
Oh, people are dying.
Oh, no.
We're in our last economy.
Oh, no.
And I think, I know a lot of conservatives.
Bill Bennett's hilarious.
A lot of people are just funny as they can be.
A couple conservatives aren't.
But anyway, the thing is, these people, many Texans taking Limbaugh seriously, everybody in this audience is taking me seriously from the beginning.
And that's why this show has gotten so big.
And I want to thank you people in the audience.
You mean more to me than I'll probably ever mean to you.
I really do.
And one of you, if I may, if I can open up just a little, you know, I come to this show and my radio show, and I have been for the past five years on radio, and this is the second year on TV.
I come to the show every day with my heart wide open and my mind as honest as it can be about what I believe.
And if I make a mistake, as you well know, we correct it at the beginning of each show and make a big deal about the fact that I got something wrong to correct it.
I've always been serious.
I have always intended to be believed.
I think this industry is all about communication.
And so I want to thank you because what makes this show and the radio show so wildly successful, the most talked about media broadcasts in the world today, is quite simply because the people who have listened regularly and continue to now tune in, the new ones that we're discovering, know full well that everything here is meant seriously, and that's the true link to you and me.
And the press is just now getting it.
It's been a long time coming, but they are.
Let me show you very quickly just the results of this poll that the Hart Hanks people took down there so you can see.
Who has your ear in Texas?
26% Clinton, 16% Bush.
Keep going.
15% Little Jenner, Ross Pro, hand grenade to haircut.
Look at me.
Limbo, I've had a dole, Jimmy Carter, and Gerald Ford and others or don't knows 18%.
So, hey, Texas, I love you too.
I mean, every time I go down there, I have just the greatest time.
We have something I promised on our last show: comparisons of Jimmy Carter's energy problem and Bill Clinton's health problem or crisis as they're creating them.
And some fun stuff, too, following.
if you'll just be patient and stay right where you are we'll be back with all the rest of it in just a moment.

He is a gay-loving, pot-smoking, draft-dodging, and a womanizer.
I mean, the facts are the facts.

Can you get a shot of him?
He's sitting there with his arms crossed.
No, there he is, give him the thumbs up.
Okay, now last, I guess it was on Friday's show, I promised that I was going to do a big deal to show you how the Carter presidency was brought down really by his insistence on totally altering the American way of life with his energy crisis.
Remember that?
People have forgotten it.
And that's what paved the way for Reagan because that just added up to big government, huge, oppressive, bureaucratic government.
And that's what opened the door for Ronald Reagan to move in.
And the same opportunity exists today.
There is a conservative, I don't say Republican, there is a conservative career just waiting to be made as a result of this health care plan, plus this foreign policy mess that we're in.
By the way, Clinton has engaged in one area of foreign policy there.
He has some expertise, and that's calling out the National Guard to the nation's capital.
He has, that is foreign policy, if you ask me.
He has successfully called out the National Guard in Arkansas.
Nobody wants to do it in the nation's capital.
So finally, a foreign policy move that we know can trust his experience.
More on that later.
Let me show you from, this is the story that was in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.
Daniel Cass, this is a brilliant piece.
He is now policy director of the Project for the Republican Future.
First, here are some things that came from the Carter energy crisis.
These are some of the points that he manufactured, and see if these sound familiar.
Number one, he complained the United States was the only Western democracy without a national energy policy.
Where have you heard that about healthcare?
Number two, spoke darkly about the power of special interests.
Wherever you heard that.
Does this all sound familiar?
Number three, called in a prominent Republican, James Schlesinger, to help manage his policy efforts.
Ever heard of David Rodham Gergen?
Number four, excoriated the oil industry for profiteering.
They did the same thing in this administration to the pharmaceuticals industry.
Number five, warned that failure to pass his plan could threaten our free institutions.
Does that sound familiar?
It's all Jimmy Carter.
Six, told the American citizens that they consumed too much energy.
You know one thing I'm sick and tired of?
Everybody's saying, well, you know, the British, they pay $4 per gallon.
And the Belgians, they pay $5.50.
That's their problem, just because they do not mean I want to roll.
This out-moded notion of fairness.
This out-moted notion of fairness.
Why, the British, we've got to pay, leave them alone.
If they want to make policies that spend that much money for gasoline and petrol, let them do it.
But it's not a sign that we're doing something wrong.
It's a sign that our market forces are far more beneficial to the consumers, us, than they are in Europe.
Now, here were Carter's proposed solutions to his energy crisis.
Follow me along, if you will.
Number one, taxes on gas-guzzling cars.
Number two, regulation of natural gas.
Number three, windfall profits taxes.
You heard all of this before?
Number four, creation of a Department of Energy.
We're going to have a new health care board, folks.
A new little health supreme court, if you will, is going to be up there determining who can do what.
Standby tax on gasoline to be imposed if Americans use too much.
And number six, attempting to change American habits, which is really what this whole thing is about here.
They're trying to take one-seventh of our GNP, transfer it to government, blame you for the health care crisis, and then come in and fix it themselves.
And I just, I really got to stress to you that there's a Republican or conservative career just waiting to be made here.
This is nothing new.
It's a time-honored Democratic trick, and it failed the last time.
It took 18 months to debate Carter's energy crisis plan.
It was so confusing, nobody understood it.
Nobody could make hide nor tail of it.
Same thing with Clinton's health care plan.
So any chance we have to point out these similarities and problems we're going to do, and this is just the lasers.
It's a brilliant piece, Mr. Cass.
Thanks for writing it.
It was in the Wall Street Journal.
We have more right after this break.

The attacks on the institutions and traditions that have made this country great continue.
You have probably no doubt heard by now that the Girl Scouts have decided to allow people to substitute their own God or leave out God in the Girl Scout pledge if they so choose.
Now, by the way, before you boo on this, just keep in mind that there was a vote in Minnesota in Minneapolis on Saturday, 1,560 to 375, amongst Girl Scout officials and members and leaders.
This is not something that's been forced on them.
Well, it is, I think, but at least as a story's been written, it's not something that's been forced on them from the outside.
Now, I want you to see the Girl Scout Pledge.
And it's a bunch of little Girl Scouts reciting their pledge, as it used to be.
And I want you to watch this and find for me the trouble.
Look at this, and somebody pose for me after watching it, the threat to America.
Here, watch.
On my honor, I will try to serve God in my country, to all people that are mine, and to live by the Girl Scout Live.
Boy, that's really subversive.
I don't know if America can handle things like that.
You know what's going on here?
A bunch of moral relativists are getting hold, and they say that what we're trying to, well, we're not, we don't want to embarrass some little girls who don't have the Judeo-Christian God.
We don't want to embarrass.
That's not what this is all about.
This is the first move in eliminating God.
And that's wrong.
What these people ought to do if they don't like the way the Girl Scouts have been is just disband and form their own organization and run it the way they want rather than trying to take over these institutions which have been proven over the period of time to be fine, upstanding organizations which do no harm to anybody and in fact elevate its members.
Bill Bennett, a friend of mine today, made a speech or actually a statement at a news conference on religious bigotry in Virginia politics.
Anybody here from Virginia tonight in the audience?
Not here.
Well, I don't blame them.
They're probably hanging their heads in shame.
What's going on is George Allen, the son of the ex-football coach, is running for governor against a woman named Mary Suteri.
And Mary Suteri has learned that Pat Robertson supports George Allison.
So she's running ads designed to say this guy's not qualified because Pat Robertson supports him.
So Bennett's pointing out: hey, it's okay to be bigoted against religious people.
And I want to read you his words because these words say it all.
Bill Bennett, I returned to Washington, D.C. the other day and read the front page of the Washington Post.
Mayor Kelly wants to call out the National Guard because of the city's exploding murder rate.
Senator Packwood is holding on to his diaries, which contain accounts of various sexual escapades on Capitol Hill.
And I read about a sting on Montgomery County liquor stores where the problem is underage drinking.
And still, there are people who believe that the greatest threat to the well-being of the republic is too much religion.
We are in the race between civilization and catastrophe.
We have record murder and violent crime rates, huge increases in births to unwed mothers, educational decline, broken families, and a president who has established a record for broken promises.
All of this, all of this.
And we are told that the very religious are what we must fear.
Religion is on the side of civilization.
More people ought to begin to recognize that.
You've got Mayor Kelly now wanting to call out the National Guard in D.C. What does that say about the people who've been running D.C.?
I guess it's all those religious people in D.C. are causing the problems that you got to call out the National Guard.
They're trying to tear down our institutions and those institutions which were participatory in the founding of this country.
And it must not happen, folks.
We got a break.
We'll be back with more right after this.
Well, I'm glad the president's doing something about health care reform.
He's right.
We need it.
But some of these details.
Like a national limit on health care?
Really?
The government caps how much the country can spend on health care and says that's it.
So, what if our health plan runs out of money?
There's got to be a better way.
There is a better way to reform.

Then, if a guy chooses a car because it's durable and dependable, wouldn't the opposite be true?
I wonder what he's got under the hood.
Hey, I think that is a great ad.
I think that is creative.
I wish we had that ad on this show.
In fact, here's the difference.
Most guys, given this, I would love to be driving that Hyundai if women are going to think of him that way.
That's the difference in men and women.
Women are going to say, how dare you think of me that way, you cad, you pig.
But men, oh, you're wondering about what I got under the hood?
Tell you what, if it were me and that Hyundai, I would be popping out of the hood.
You wouldn't have to open it to see what's in it.
We'll be back on another show.
See you later.
Bye-bye.

We are talking about a reorganized, reformed industry.
She keeps on meddling.
She keeps on interfering.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is...
Thank you very much.
Hey, do we have this?
Do we have the calendar?
We've got the calendars right here.
Good.
Okay.
Whoa, we've got, I promised I'd do something on the radio today that we just barely gotten done in the nick of time because here in New York, taxi drivers are on strike.
They're getting in intersections and they're calling, bottling it up.
It's called gridlock.
It's what used to happen in Congress when we had enough Republicans there.
And they're all mad because some taxi drivers have been shot and they don't think the cops are doing enough to defend it.
And so they're taking out all kinds of anger at the public today.
And it was really nip and tuck to get a calendar that I'll tell you about later, just in just a moment, down here.
First off, ladies and gentlemen, I want to show you some funny video that happened within the past couple of days.
As you know, the president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak, was in town to see the president.
And he had their meeting and so forth.
It's time to leave.
And that's where we join President Clinton and Hosni Mubarak.
There they are leaving the White House.
Now, watch very carefully.
He delays getting.
There's the Marine Guard going over to open the door.
They can't get the door to the limousine open.
So here is the president stalling with Hosni Mubarak.
Now at this point, security is real tight here.
I mean, because this guy is under severe threat, and I'll bet you at this point in time, they're sitting around waiting, where is Sheikh Omar?
You know, my gosh, they're probably scrambling.
They can't get him in the car.
And look at this.
Now, that's the Al Gore.
This is a prototype of Al Gore's new car.
And the back.
And you would think, just walk around to the other side.
I mean, you would just go around to the other door.
Look at this.
They're standing out there.
They're voice most Mubarak.
Oh, look, I will go to the other side.
Goodbye, Mr. President.
Don't go to the other side.
There he goes.
Bobby Or now, he's going to get in.
And now watch this.
Now, you think Clinton looks like, just standing there.
I go back in the house, but no, that whole line of cars, and not one of them is going to stop for him.
Watch that.
Hey, can I get it right?
I need to go too.
Anyway, that is just a funny piece of video.
We want to show it to you.
Now, here's this calendar.
Now, I told you on the radio today that, you know, the Limbaugh letter is my monthly newsletter, and it is, we're very proud of it.
We're up to 375,000 subscribers in just a little over a year.
And we're working on our December issue now.
And we decided one of the things that we would do, actually this is the November issue that's coming up, the current one.
We decided to make a calendar for 1994 that is big enough.
It's almost two feet by three feet.
It's not quite that big, but almost.
It's go on your refrigerator.
It'll go on a billboard or a bulletin board at your office.
If you want to, you can put it on your ceiling, in the bedroom, wherever, wherever it works for you.
And you can only get this calendar with a subscription to the Limbaugh letter.
They're not going to be sold anywhere.
They're not going to be passed out anywhere.
And I wanted to, it's fun to talk about this on the radio, but you can't really see it.
You see, that is me shining the light of truth on the Clinton administration and all the people in it.
And there's Clinton leading the way.
And if you get a close-up on that, well, actually, when you get the calendar, you'll be able to see all of those people.
And that's what I was talking about.
And we're really proud of that.
Am I right?
That's about two feet by three feet.
That's going to be.
I mean, we have spared no expense on this calendar.
And it'll come folder.
You get it, iron frame, whatever you want to do.
It's great.
Now, somebody here at the station studio was going through a magazine.
It's an ad.
It's somewhere in Pennsylvania.
This is, what's the name of this store?
Hess.
Where is this?
What did you tell me this is?
Allentown.
It's in Allentown.
Thank you.
We've got a busload of people here from Allentown, Pennsylvania tonight.
It's great days!
So, anyway, they're going through this thing, and we got to the recliners.
Take a look at this page of the recliner chairs.
Look at that one in the middle row on the far right.
Somebody noticed something very interesting.
Can we get a close-up of this?
It's a ditto head mug.
It's a ditto.
So, Hess, whoever you're buying your recliners from, and whoever's taking your pictures, they are ditto heads out there.
And of all the recliners here, that's the only one with a ditto head mug.
And that's just another example of the vast reach and how we are just the EIB tentacles are just encircling everything.
When you show up in an Allentown, Pennsylvania furniture store and you now say one more thing here.
Have you heard about this condom recall situation?
The Texas Department of Health is recalling 3 million condoms.
They're made in Thailand.
Condom recall notice.
These condoms have a big problem.
Now, in Arkansas when this happened, don't forget, Jocelyn Elders said, well, we can't tell them that they're got holes in them.
That wouldn't be good.
So they continued to pass them out in Arkansas.
In Texas, they're a little bit wiser than that, which proves that whoever's running the health department in Texas, we may need to put them in as Surgeon General instead of Jocelyn Elders.
Anyway, these condom names are fame, bulldog.
Now, wait a minute.
Fame, Bulldog, and Prestige.
We have some video of somebody explaining why the condoms were recalled.
Her name is Lynn Schmitz.
Wait a minute.
S-C-H-M-H-Z, is that right?
She needs to buy a vowel.
There's no vowels in it.
Is that right?
I just pronounced it Schmitz, but there's no I in there.
She's the director of the HIV Sexually Transmitted Disease Program in Texas, and here's what she said about the condoms.
We're going to make every reasonable effort to notify folks.
In our clinic downstairs, we have a lot of records, and we can call them, and we're doing some investigation right now.
If there's certain people that got more or less, we'll be making those efforts to contact them.
Well, yeah, right.
Good luck.
Hope your phone rings.
Stop and think of the names here.
Fame, Bulldog, and Prestige.
It sounds like the names of your first three illegitimate kids.
If anything else, well, we've got a great show tonight.
We've got some incredible footage for you.
There was a gang conference in Chicago, and you heard all about that.
In fact, at this meeting, the Reverend Jackson praised gang members.
He called them something, they're crucial to the new civil rights movement in America.
But what you probably don't know is that there was a meeting that had more attendees of people who were opposed to this notion that gangs mean anything to the civil rights movement.
We will show you both and let you decide where you would have rather been.
We also have some interesting news on welfare.
The New York Post had an exclusive story on welfare fraud and some health care stuff and Janet Reno and all but Ross Perot has thrown down the gauntlet to the administration.
He wants to debate him on NAFTA.
We have his challenge.
Right out on TV challenging those people right now.
It's, you know, words are plentiful.
Deeds are precious.
Let's get to it.
So, and somebody in our audience tonight is going to be given this copy of my book.
I haven't decided who.
I don't even know what criterion I'm going to use.
But before this show's over, somebody will have one of the first copies.
They're not on sale yet, not till November 4th.
But because I'm a generous guy, I'm going to give it away tonight.
So all that's coming up, but you stay right where you are.
We'll get to it right after this.
Chicken sounds good.
I head for long, John.
Something tells me I should.
The 199, I hear a voice say, chicken at Long Johns will blow you away.
Hey, what am I thinking?
Am I in outer space?
Can the world's best chicken be at a fish place?
And the voice said, chicken at long johns is just a thing.
So many choices, those taste buds will sing.
Luck for your buck.
So I stopped at the sign, couldn't believe my eyes.
Got the $199 fish, chicken, and fries.
So if you think of chicken, you gotta go fish.
Long John's unless you're gonna catch your wish.

A two-star Air Force general is being investigated on charges that he ridiculed President Clinton as a, quote, gay-loving, pot-smoking, draft-dodging, and womanizing commander-in-chief.
Well, I don't see how he can be ridiculing President Clinton by speaking the truth.
He is a gay-loving, pot-smoking, draft-dodging, and a womanizer.
I mean, the facts are the facts.
And welcome back to Rush Limbaugh the Television Show.
There we go.
That's the calendar.
That's actual size.
We finally have a guest on our show.
Here, let me show you.
Let me just stand here, put it here so you can get an idea of the actual size.
This is what I want to do the first time.
It's a rather sizable calendar.
It'll look very good wherever you put it, my friend.
So, there we go.
No problem.
No problem.
It stayed standing, friends.
Don't sweat it.
We don't panic here.
There we go.
All right.
Now, you may be, how can he do this?
How can he show his own calendar?
It's my show.
Jesse Jackson says there was a peace summit of street gangs Sunday in Chicago, and USA Today ran a little story of this, a little blurb.
On Monday morning, street gangs hailed as a new frontier.
He he said that gang members from 28 cities showed up, try to work out differences and that the new frontier of the civil rights movement happens to be what they're doing now.
If you you want to talk about misplaced values and and this is a total misapplication of the power Jesse Jackson has for good it is to align himself.
We all know what gangs are doing.
They're in drive-by shootings, they're selling drugs on the corners, they're just engaged in nothing but crime, and it's it actually sends the wrong signal.
I'd like to show you Mel Reynolds, who's a Democrat congressman from Illinois.
He's very liberal, by the way he's.
He's one of the most staunch gun control advocates in Congress.
He doesn't want anybody to have a gun.
But this stance, stance by Jackson and this whole gang summit angered him, and here is what he had to say about it.
Long after this so-called peace summit is over, we will be here picking up the pieces, going to funerals, dealing with the stark reality that there is no peace and no truce.
Lastly, to those who support the gangs and attempt to legitimize them.
We urge you to demand real, constructive action by these so-called reform gang bangers, and you should know this.
You also should know that you do not speak for us.
Let's show you videotape of both meetings.
First up we have the good guys.
These are Mel Reynolds friends.
These are the people who gathered at the anti-gang summit in Chicago.
Now look at all these people and look at how they're dressed.
And then look at the.
Now these are the gangs, this is the gang summit, and you can, you can look around here and and get a a little bit of a.
Don't want to disparage anybody here uh, but one looks like a Republican convention, the other looks like a Democratic convention and and now so our, our uh applause and and sincere mr Uh Reynolds has has tremendous guts for because this is opposing the civil rights leadership.
This is NA CP uh has this position.
Don't forget Benjamin Chavis, who now heads up the NA CP, wanted Rodney King to be the big draw at the Martin Luther King celebration this past august in Washington.
It didn't fly too well.
So, mr Reynolds, you deserve a lot of credit for organizing this anti-gang summit.
Being right on it.
Let me show you who the new frontier really is, and I we've done this once before, but but it's not getting enough major play in the dominant media culture.
Black Expo Usa is a fast-growing consumer show and it travels all over the country.
It is a.
It is an expo, like a boat show or a car show, but what they exhibit are black owned businesses, entrepreneurial Businesses.
They show the products they make.
They show who their purchases are, who their customers are, and they are trying to suggest that there is an entire black business class, a bunch of black people in this country who have made it within the establishment, and they're very proud of it, and they're trying to gain acceptance and be recognized for their positive contributions.
And part of what they do is announce statistics of the true members of the new frontier in America.
And I want to go through these stats again that Black Expo has assembled, and they're the ones that are putting these out.
These are not from the labor department.
These are not from the government, not from any political organization.
Follow along and screen if you will.
The number of African Americans with four or more years of college doubled during the 1980s, rising from 1 million to 2 million.
You would never know that if you listened to the civil rights leadership in this country.
The number of African American families with annual incomes of $50,000 or more increased by more than 50% during the 1980s, growing from 762,000 to 1,162,000 families.
The number of African Americans in managerial and professional specialty occupations grew from 1.3 million in 1983 to nearly 2 million in 1991.
It's a 50% gain in eight years.
Keep in mind, oh, this is happening during the 80s.
The decade of greed and selfishness, when, of course, we're in the midst of the worst economy in the last 50 years, according to this administration.
Finally, African American consumer households spend more than $300 billion annually, according to the 1992 Consumer Expenditure Survey of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
That is a labor department stats.
These are the people that are in the new frontier.
It is not black gang members.
And I am happy to be the one here on national television to finally set this record straight.
We've got more when we come back.
Don't go away.

your local Jeep and Eagle dealer.
Have you heard, ladies and gentlemen, that the president has rejected the request of the mayor of Washington, D.C. to send out the National Guard to Washington to hear about this?
I think the president is right on this.
I, too, am opposed to deploying troops to areas where there is no vital American interest.
Let me show you this story.
New York Post, exclusive story on Monday.
This is a story about welfare fraud.
Basically, what this story says is that people who scam the welfare system get on to all kinds of different welfare roles and then use the money for drugs and booze.
They had reporters follow people around.
You know, all the cliches that if you say, well, all they are is going out and buying booze and cigarettes and drugs.
Oh, come on, you heartless, cold, cruel guy.
It turns out to be true in many more cases than anybody wants to believe.
the average amount of the scam is thirty thousand dollars over uh... what it was the period of time uh... sometimes six cents it's it's six thousand dollars a year the average The average scam of welfare fraud is $6,260 a year.
This got me to thinking.
This adds up, by the way, to $400 million a year.
It has been calculated by this story.
Now, this takes intelligence.
This takes some absolute skill to rip off the system.
I don't know how to do that, and I'm a smart guy.
And I'll bet you most people in this audience don't know how to do it, and they're mostly from Allentown, Pennsylvania, and they're smart people.
Seriously, seriously, you have to have a lot of streets.
I'll bet you go get a Ph.D., a math major, a science major, and say, I want you to go out and scam the welfare system, and they wouldn't know the first thing about it.
Now, the point of all this is, is that they are portrayed as helpless victims of the system, and yet look at what these guys have managed to pull off.
And then we have Mrs. Clinton, who is going to run health care, the brightest, the smartest woman in Washington, maybe the brightest, smartest woman that's ever been to Washington.
And she's put together a health care plan that's foolproof.
It's just a plan waiting to be scammed.
Boy, time has flown.
I had a couple other things, but I'm going to have to delay them.
We've got one more segment left.
It'll be back.
We'll be back right after this, and we'll do it.
Well, I'm glad the president's doing something about health care reform.
He's right.
We need it.
But some of these details.
Like a national limit on health care?
Really?
The government caps how much the country can spend on health care and says that's it.
So what if our health plan runs out of money?
There's got to be a better way.
There is a better way to reform.

Bowling.
You're bowling.
Is that what it is?
You know, they once asked me to place a six-pack at the tomb of the unknown bowler on 4th of July in Raytown, Missouri.
I had better things to do.
Running out of time here.
Janet Reno was on McNeil Lair, and she said, I've got an idea for a television show that will not promote violence.
And I want to present this script idea to producers.
Now, I want to read this because this is what it said.
She said that the hero would be a 14-year-old boy.
He raises his two siblings.
For those of you in Rio Linda, California, it's brothers and sisters.
His mother can't because she's recovering from crack addiction.
And she's doing it at a treatment center that the 14-year-old hero finds.
This kid doesn't have time to go to school.
He's out saving the world.
He then enables his mom to go on to law school, and he graduates as valedictorian.
That's what she wants to present as the greatest TV show that there would be.
Did you notice something missing from that?
That's right.
I don't know if you heard this or not, folks.
The father was missing.
The father, he's probably a pimp and a crack dealer, and that's why his wife is on crack in Janet Reno's mind.
No, I'll tell you something.
If there was a father in her scenario, going to work, accepting the responsibilities of life, providing a safe and healthy environment for the family.
His wife was raising the kids, he and his wife were doing that together.
There wouldn't be any need for drugs or the treatment center or government assistance or anything else.
And I think that this is an indication of the mindset of some of the people from the Children's Defense Fund and this administration.
The problem with broken families is irresponsible men.
And I think it's a glaring omission.
By the way, for those of you in Los Angeles, we do understand that Janet Reno did remove the tanks.
Tanks were moving in on the Fox TV Center this afternoon out there.
Just kidding, they removed the tanks.
Anything can happen.
You never know.
We are out of time.
It's been fun.
We've got another show soon, 23 hours and 30 minutes away.
Stay right where you are, and you won't miss it.

Hillsdale, Michigan.

No, my name is Libby Richter.

That way they'll list this show in the late night listings in the newspaper.
Right?
Because, see, this is not a talk show, folks.
We are on late at night and we talk, but it's not a talk show because we don't have a couch.
We don't have a band.

And the owners of, is it the bowling alley or are there more than one?
Allentown Rose Bowl has presented me this bowling pin.
You know, I used to make fun of bowlers and people would get mad.
I mean, they'd not understand it.
I used to tell jokes, for example, like, do you know that you lose more weight, you burn more calories asleep than you do bowling?
Because you don't drink beer when you're asleep.
Put this here.
Well, guess what?
Yesterday was Mrs. Rodham Clinton's birthday.

Oh, Roger Ailes is hidden behind this post over there.

They had a big party for her, and they brought in a cake, and they brought in the beverages, and they brought in a staff.
Tipper was there, and the cabinet came in.
The president was taking a nap.
She made a wish, made a wish, folks.
Sat there and blew out the candles.
And she opened her eyes with amazing disappointment because I was still on the air.
If we may get serious for just a moment, I was reading the Washington Post this morning.
As you know, there's a big crime problem in our nation's capital.
And there has been a crime problem for a long, long time.
And the president has had the request made recently to call out the National Guard.
And did you know this?
They didn't want the National Guard on the streets enforcing a law.
They wanted to put the National Guard in offices doing clerical work.
They thought that's where they're overworked in the D.C. police department.
Is it typewriters?
And of course, the whole idea was rejected for a bunch of obvious reasons and mostly good.
So today in the Washington Post, there's a story by a gentleman named Cortland Molloy, and it is entitled, Call on Love, Not National Guardsmen to Help D.C.
And they quote as one of the experts a Ute director there, Deborah Shore, who is the executive director of something called the Sasha Bruce Ute Work.
And I want you to read along with me a couple of things that she had to say as to what the problem is.
And it spells out exactly what I and a lot of other Americans have been thinking, and many of them you, that we're going off the track here on personal responsibility.
Those who do things that are wrong are somehow absolved.
It's not their fault.
It's all these other circumstances.
And primarily, you know who it is.
The blame always comes down to you and me, the working people of this country who have accepted the responsibilities of life and the challenges.
We go out there and it's we who are paying the taxes and it's we who are subsidizing all these people who somehow don't follow through on accepting the responsibilities and meeting the challenges of life.
A lot of people are getting fed up about it.
So when you read something like this, it just adds to the frustration.
Two things she said.
Here's the first one.
We know that guns are not the answer, so why continue down that path?
She's talking about guns on the part of the authorities.
During a visit to Ireland to talk with Ute workers there, I saw children on the front line of war, just like children in Washington, throwing rocks at soldiers.
When was the last time you saw children throwing rocks at soldiers in Washington?
She said, the more force that was used against the Utes in Ireland, the more disrespectful of authority they became.
And so, okay, so if you attempt to use authority to hold people to the letter of the law and they get mad at you, okay, okay, we'll not try to catch you anymore.
I'm sorry, I don't want to make you mad.
The answer to this is we're not using enough authority.
If kids are throwing rocks at soldiers, pick the rocks up and throw them back at the kids.
We need, now, figuratively speaking, of course, they probably don't know what authority is.
To this woman, Deborah Shore, authority is probably saying, please stop.
Don't throw any more.
Oh, yeah, and they keep throwing.
So they've rejected authority.
Now, here's who's really to blame.
The culprits in D.C. are Krack and Ronald Reagan.
They go together.
During the 12 years of the Reagan presidency, I feel like I've been tricked.
Were there four years that I didn't know about?
Well, I feel cheated if there were, he's my favorite president.
There are four years that I don't know about.
During the 12 years of the Reagan presidency, we watched in horror as the distance between the haves and the have-nots expanded like crazy.
Cocaine flooded the city, and every conceivable division between human beings, race, sex, and religion, was emphasized to prevent any meaningful dialogue of what to do about the problem.
That's Deborah Shore.
Well, in the first place, there was no expansion of distance between the haves and have-nots, and the documentation is out.
It's in my new book.
There's a whole chapter on setting the record of the 80s straight, and this is one of these clichés that these leftists in this country continue to put forth.
Also, it is these people who are bringing up race, religion, and sex and all that as points of division.
It is these people who are pointing out the differences among people and saying we've got to understand it, celebrate it, and respect those differences.
These are the people who try to wipe out the American culture that has been established over 200-plus years of our being a nation, and they're trying to come up with all these multicultural stuff.
You must respect this culture and that culture, and they're getting rid of God and every institution they can, and they're blaming us for it.
It isn't true.
But cocaine flooded the city, blaming this on Reagan.
Now, we know that Reagan was accused of taking naps, but he never did.
Do you know that's a myth?
Reagan never fell asleep in cabinet meetings, and he never took naps.
It was just something that got started, and Reagan loves self-deprecating humor, made fun of himself, so it got started.
So I guess what happened here is during these naps, Reagan would sneak out of the White House and go down to one of the corners in D.C. and start selling crack.
Is that what we're supposed to understand here, Ms. Shore?
And I guess while he's out there selling crack, he's also having anal sex with all the men and spreading AIDS.
Because you say that Reagan was responsible for the spread of AIDS, too.
So he's selling cocaine.
He's having anal sex.
Is that what you want us to believe?
Why is this woman being quoted in the Washington Post?
She's intellectually lazy.
She has no credibility whatsoever.
And this is not the problem, and this is why they're having problems in D.C., is because people like this have been in charge for who knows how long.
There, I needed to say it, needs to be said.
And realism.
We're hot.
We're rolling.
You like this?
Are we rolling?
We're rolling.
And we'll be back with the rest of it right after this.

Another woman sitting by the post.
I better go over here so that you can be heard.
Follow me over here, folks.
Let me just, because if I just want to know what your name is.
Nancy DuPrey.
Nice to meet you.
You asked them to do this.
Where are you from?
Allentown.
All right.
Nice to have you here.
Double whammy.
My friends, Newt Gingrich, took to the floor of the House of Representatives today.
How many of you are aware, as we tape, this is Wednesday, how many of you are aware that the president said, today I am going to present in legislative form the health care bill.
How many of you were told that it's 1,300 pages and then 800 pages to explain what the 1,300 pages mean?
How many of you expected the bill today?
All day long, the news reported, we've got a bill.
It's in legislative form and here it is.
Here's Newt Gingrich with the truth.
Watch this.
Mr. Speaker, I just double-checked with my staff who talked with the White House staff.
And as I understand it, after all of the circus fanfare of this morning, there is no bill being introduced today.
And while there is various legislative language, it is not yet in form which the Democratic leadership is comfortable putting into bill form.
Now, come on.
We've now had a major speech to the entire country.
We've had five weeks of testimony about a non-existent bill by people who didn't know what they're talking about.
We have a white-ass task force that broke the law in a way which would put every small business in America in jail if they did it.
And the defense was that they were too busy to fill out the technical legal forms required by the United States government, a defense which I hope every small business will try out when it has a problem with the IRS.
And now we're told after this morning's circus, there is still no bill.
The serious business of government should require genuine legislative effort with a specific written document because this is not about personality.
This is not about quality of testimony.
This is not about effectiveness of speech.
This is about a written legislative bill that would become law.
Man, oh man, there in one minute and 13 seconds, the best indictment of the incompetence and fraud of this entire program I've yet heard.
Thank you, Congressman Gingrich.
Now, I want to review something very quickly because all of this is part of a plan that I have on a previous show spelled out very artfully for you.
It's called the Clinton Hustle.
And I want to very briefly go through it and show you where we are in the Clinton hustle.
Now, Clinton hustle begins with the crisis.
Days and days of hand-wringing on TV.
They tell you we've got this major crisis, and they come up with these absurd figures to exaggerate the crisis and so forth.
And then the whining of America and these heartbreaking emotional sob story anecdotes that you hear in town meetings and people get, oh my gosh, man, it is something fast.
Then they float the trial balloons.
Leaks of the plan or the solution.
How are we going to solve the crisis?
That's what that 239-page book is.
They're now saying, hey, we didn't mean that.
That isn't us.
There's a bunch of stuff in there that's not wrong.
Plan's free.
It's inexpensive.
It's fair.
Then you go out and find a culprit.
You've got to find the villain.
That's the lobbyists and the pharmaceutical industry in this case.
Then they promote the speech, and that's the president's speech before a joint session of Congress.
Change America Forever.
Make or break the president's speech.
This is where we are today.
The sting is next.
A long, long speech that promises to end the crisis.
No specifics as to cost, no details.
Only a select few will pay.
This is exactly where we are in this stage of the Clinton hustle regarding health care.
Yet to come are the polls.
Once again, the polls will be taken.
America loves it.
It plays well in Peoria.
They love the plan.
They can't wait for it.
And then when the details come out, finally when the legislation is presented, the details are there.
They'll blame me and other talk radio people for inciting the American people into anti-Clintonism.
So we are at the sting level.
Now, the President did make some remarks today, and I want to play them for you very quickly because we're going to juxtapose it with something Vice President Gore said about a year ago.
Here's the first cut.
This legislation, therefore, literally holds the key to a new era for our economy.
An era in which we can get our health care costs under control, free our businesses to compete better in the global economy, and make sure that the men and women who show up for work every day are more productive because they're more secure.
And they feel that they can do two important jobs at once.
Be good members of their family, be good parents and good children, as well as good workers.
There we go.
We're all in fear again, folks.
We're not secure.
And we need to be more productive, right?
Well, let's go back.
Remember that economic conference they had in Little Rock last year after they won the election, just before their inauguration, Vice President Gore, Vice President-elect Al Gore, asked a question of an economist, MIT Professor Robert Solow.
Let's do a little bit of this and see if you find a contradiction.
Isn't it true that in our assessment of our economy, it's also true that we still have the highest overall level of productivity in the entire world?
Oh, absolutely.
International comparisons like that are very inexact, so the figure I'm going to give you now can't be taken as literally true.
But as far as anyone can tell, either in manufacturing or in services or in everything taken together, we are still about 20% more productive than Germany and Japan.
Hmm.
Now, you know a little bit about psychology.
There's two schools of thought on this.
They say that if you're secure, that you'll be more productive, more energetic.
I think it's the opposite in my life.
The more insecure, the more unsettled, the more hungrier you are, the more hard or the harder you'll work to try to convince people that you're worth holding on to or whatever.
Point is, they're contradicting themselves all over the place.
Are trying to set up the country is in a downslide now.
It's interesting, too.
Consumer confidence is plummeting.
The economic figures are coming up, but they can't say that because they've set everybody up for doom and gloom.
I love the trap they're in.
We've got more.
Governor Cuomo coming up after this.

You're watching Rush Limbaugh, the television show.
On Sunday past, Mario Cuomo, the governor of New York, went to University of California Davis, which is outside Sacramento in California, and did a lecture.
And after the lecture, it was QA.
And somebody in the audience stood up.
We only have the audio of this.
We have Cuomo's answer.
Somebody in the audience and asked him a question.
The question is: why haven't you or someone of your stature, Governor Cuomo, spoken out on what I think is the running sewer that flushes over this country day in and day out, called Rush Limbaugh?
Now, listen, this is Governor Cuomo's response.
I believe that what you should be saying about Rush Lembaugh is Rush Lembaugh ought to be on every station in America.
All he wants to be.
Everybody should be.
You shouldn't be disparaging his right to be out there saying what he wants to say.
What I would hope is that the American people, if Rush Lembaugh is as unappealing as you think he is, that sooner or later the American people will so conclude and they will reject him.
And if you're right about Rush Limbaugh, then what you ought to do is be patient and let the American people analyze and hear what he's saying.
Frankly, I have never heard Mr. Lembaugh because I didn't listen to the radio.
I read his book.
His book did not scandalize me in any way.
I mean, there were parts of his book that, you know, made a lot of sense.
So I don't know what he's like on television radio because I've never seen him, but I read his book and I've never met him.
I do think that we are, you know, the politics and the philosophy of the country are kind of cyclical.
There were times when all the spokespeople on the radio were liberals.
And a lot of the conservative people said, how can you take that claptrap from these liberals?
You know, they're up there.
These guys, they all smoke marijuana.
They all sleep around, you know.
They're destroying the whole society.
There's no more religion.
And, you know, they were saying about the liberal spokespeople, what you're saying about Rush Lembo.
I had to play that for you because that's honesty.
And he's being intellectually, I think, consistent with his devotion to free speech.
He also may want to do a talk show when he finishes being governor.
I want to play that for you.
We've got a break.
We'll come back.
A little bit of Perot and NAFTA.
Not much time for it.
We'll get some of it in after this.
Don't go.
We love you, Matt.
We're going to go.
So the idea hits me.
Chicken sounds good.
I head for Long John.
Something tells me I should.
For $199, I hear a voice say, chicken at Long John's will blow you away.
Hey, what am I thinking?
Am I in outer space?
Can the world's best chicken be at a fish place?
And the voice said, chicken at Long Johns is just a thing.
So many choices, those tape bugs will sing.
Luck or your buck.
So I stopped at the sign, couldn't believe my eyes.
Got the $199 fish, chicken, and fries.
So if you think of chicken, you gotta go fish.
Long John's not listen, you're gonna catch your wish.

NAFTA is something that's very, very close to going down to defeat.
It would be a terrible mistake if this goes down to defeat.
And I hope before the vote we have sufficient time here to try to make the case for it because it's crucial to our competitiveness in the world and the expansion of our economy.
But there he is, that little hand grenade with a bad haircut out there trying to get your fears all worked up.
Here's his latest NAFTA challenge.
Take a look.
We will discuss this issue in front of Working America with the president or the vice president or with Lee Ayakov.
Our only requirement is that it be done in a huge facility, that the doors be open to everybody.
Now, this will make them nervous.
They just can't invite the corporate elite that want it.
They're going to have to let the third-shift working guy come in if he wants to.
They're going to have to look Working America in the eye and explain to them why it makes sense to send their jobs to Mexico.
Words are plentiful, deeds, are precious.
Let's get to it.
We'll have more on this and a future show, my friends, and you've got to watch it.
Don't miss that.
See you next time.

Rush Limbaugh is brought to you by Investors Vault, the Northwest's largest discounter of gold and silver.
You fold them!
You maybe see the thing.
Thank you so much.
Glad to have everybody here.
Welcome to another exciting edition of one of the most talked about, if not the most talked about, television shows this season, the Rush Limbaugh TV Show.
Well, we've had a big thing go on the past couple of days.
We have had the non-presentation twice now of a healthcare bill.
First off, they trot out this book, 239 pages.
They call it a leak of the healthcare blueprint.
They didn't intend for it to get out there, but it somehow did.
People began analyzing it.
It's not what we meant to say, says the administration.
Then on Wednesday, here comes about 1,300 pages of the health care bill, but it's still not in legislative form.
But there it is, all these 13 pages and 1,300, and then there are, I think, another 150 to 500.
I can't find confirmation on this, on the number of pages necessary to explain what's in the 1,300.
I want to take you back, ladies and gentlemen, to a previous program where I suggested to you that we do not have a health care crisis in this country, and we don't have an energy crisis.
We don't really have but one crisis in this country, and you'll remember it well.
Do you remember what it is?
What?
What is it?
What is it?
No, no, no.
That's true.
But it's not slick, Willie.
We have an income crisis in this country.
Remember, there is no justice in a country where everybody does not make at least $100,000 a year.
And that's true in this country.
We do not have everybody earning $100,000.
And my plan was simply to guarantee everybody $100,000 of income.
How are we going to pay for it?
Easy.
Business will pay for it.
What happens is you fill out your tax form or your tax return.
Whatever amount under $100,000 you've earned, business will make up the difference, and then everybody's happy.
It's just that easy.
And I am ready to present to you the first phase of my plan.
Nick, would you come on out?
Here is my plan.
Go over here, Nick.
Go over there.
There you have it.
This is it, folks.
This is everybody in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts that does not earn $100,000, every name of every person.
And this is a plan, and I'm going to send this to Congress next week and say, get to work on it.
This is simplification.
This is reorientation of the income disparities that exist in this country.
Now, obviously, what this is is simply a way to illustrate the folly of the healthcare plan, 1,300-plus pages and simplification, they say.
We have a healthcare segment coming up on tonight's program to really give you the salient points about this.
And if you heard the radio show today, then you have a general idea of what we're going to talk about.
Something else before we get going, there's a man named Adam Meyerson who writes policy reviews, the editor of Policy Review Magazine, the Heritage Foundation of Washington, D.C.
And he has complained officially to the people who publish Bartlett's quotations.
He's read their latest edition.
He says, there's not enough conservatism represented in Bartlett's quotations.
And he cites several examples of leading conservatives, leading opinion makers, leaders in the opinion process of America, whose brilliant analysis of events, whose cogent advice, whose brilliant, piercing logic on the social condition of America and the world has been suspiciously left out.
This list of his ran partially today in the Washington Times.
There it is.
Now, do you see somebody there you recognize?
Look at that picture in the left-hand happens to be me.
Look at the, do we have a close-up of this?
Can we zoom in?
The picture they have used here of Reagan is very unflattering.
And it's surprising because the Washington Times, of course, is a conservative-oriented paper.
Here are some of the quotes from people they think should be in Bartlett's quotations.
Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program.
That's Milton Friedman, a Nobel Prize-winning conversation.
That makes sense, does it not?
You spend a billion here, you spend a billion there.
Sooner or later, it adds up to real money.
That's former Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen, not in Bartlett's and ought to be.
President Reagan said government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases.
If it moves, tax it.
If it keeps moving, regulate it.
And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
That quote ought to be in there.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister, they have the usual socialist disease.
They have run out of other people's money.
And former Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, a government that's big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away.
All right.
And then there is this quote from talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
I prefer to call the most obnoxious feminists what they really are.
Feminazis.
Those quotes are not there.
Quotes are not there, but they should be.
I got a letter today and a picture I want to show you.
Here's the letter first.
Dear Rush, I always display proudly a rush pin on my shirt.
But Sunday, due to a freak accident, I swallowed it.
Wonder what the freak accident was.
And my rush pin boldly went where no other rush pin has gone before.
I'm sending you a copy of the x-ray that was taken that night for your enjoyment because the hospital staff certainly did.
Although this is quite disturbing to me because it means I can't chew gum and have rush at the same time.
This is Jeannie Glass in Hollister, California.
This is the X-ray.
Look at that.
That is a rush pin that's stuck there, ladies.
And here is the actual x-ray itself.
You can't see it because it needs to be backlit, but people are doing strange things to me with me.
Coming up, healthcare.
What you really need to know about this.
And in fact, you know, Nitch, not, I think you do.
I think what's happening here, polling data looks good.
Only 27% of the American people in the most recent poll say that they are for this.
That's down from the, I think a polling information we had layers poll data was 58% when the president made his first speech to a joint session of Congress.
We'll give you all the details and congratulate you on understanding the truth when we get back with the rest of the show.
Stay right where you are.
Here's an opportunity to receive a free copy of National Review's new 40-page report on the real Reagan record.
Hi, I'm Bill Buckley.
You may know me through my television soft flying line or my newspaper columns or maybe one of my Blackford Oaks spy novels.
But you ought to know about my magazine, National Review.
A National Review gives you insights into card events and information about important issues from a decidedly different set of priorities.
I like it because it cuts through the nonsense that normally surrounds most political issues with simple common sense.
And of course, I love the humor.
It's a very funny magazine.
When you get National Review, you'll find it's informative, probing, challenging, and very entertaining.
You can't find National Review on every newsstand, so this may be your only chance to get a copy.

This is the Eagle Vision.
Now, some people might be surprised to learn that this is an American sports sedan.
But because of its 3.3-liter V6 engine, four-wheel disc brakes, driver, and front-passenger airbags, Eagle Vision has a lot of people turning in their imports.
We're not really surprised by this.
We view it as a new kind of foreign trade agreement.

Health care is something that is a bad idea philosophically.
Universal health care, government-subsidized, total health care for everybody is a bad idea.
The problem in America today is that the party in power, the Democratic Party, happens to be setting the agenda.
Why are we talking about health care?
We're talking as a crisis, because that's what this president has decided he is going to make his number one historical issue.
This is what he wants to make himself the new FDR of our age.
This is what he wants to put him in the history books with a great reference and record.
You know how, you remember when President Bush had a war on drugs?
One week after he announced Bill Bennett as the drug czar and everything else, they took a national poll.
What do you think the biggest problem facing America is?
And of course it was drugs because we had just spent a week looking at nothing but news of how the president said, drug problem in America is wiping us out.
It's the worst thing that's going on.
Of course, that's what people respond to.
I guarantee you that if somebody in government said the biggest problem in America today is concrete and pummeled you every day with the concrete crisis, you ask people in a national poll what's the biggest problem facing America seven days later, say too much concrete.
They set the agenda.
This is crucial.
And the Republicans, I think, have been making a mistake from the get-go in that is debating various elements of the plan.
You shouldn't debate the elements of this plan at all.
To start talking about numbers, which I'm going to prove to you I've been right about all along, just a minute, using the proponents of the bill themselves.
Start talking about the numbers, you're missing the point.
You've already been sucked in.
You have agreed with the premise that the government can provide cradle to grave, womb to the tomb, health care, and it just won't work.
It can't work.
But first, as we go through this, let's look first at a little montage of some of the negative response to the most recent presentation of the health care package from around the country.
Here's our first clip for you of the night.
I'm depressed and discouraged to find this kind of work product come from a 500-person task force at untold sums of expense to the American people.
And it's a little bit like having the used car salesman take you for a drive around the block and you sort of love the afternoon and the convertible tops down and it feels good and then you get back and you have a mechanic look under the hood.
And the president destroys Medicare, destroys Medicaid, destroys the private insurance industry as we know it, and creates these complex mammoth new state bureaucracies called alliances.
I urge the American people to think of the implications of a government-run health care and think of it in the context of our government today.
The president is a great salesman.
The First Lady is a great salesman.
But the bottom line is they're trying to sell socialized medicine, and that is a bad product.
Turning over one-seventh of our economy, the United States government is an idea that has many Americans, Republicans and Democrats, very concerned.
Now, we want to go to those who had something positive to say about the health care plan as presented.
And notice the enthusiasm here, and notice the vigor, and notice the excitement in these people's expressions of joy for the plan.
Watch.
Mr. President, first let me congratulate you on carrying out your health care proposal in time-honored medical fashion.
You've given your bill a new examination and diagnosis, and you have now come to Congress for a second opinion.
Well, I think the launching of the second stage of the rocket was well done.
The whole question of numbers has always been much overwrought and over-talked about.
I think they have done those numbers more carefully, more honestly, and more openly than anybody's ever done any set of numbers on something that's that complicated.
Really, the important thing is what we're trying to buy with those numbers, you know, to give people health security and benefits that they can count on.
And it adds up, and I'm very pleased about that.
I have a question for you.
Do any of those people look like they're worried about where their next trip to the doctor is coming from or going to be paid for?
They don't have any concern about it at all.
And Jay Rockefeller talking about the numbers, the best set of numbers.
Don't forget it was Hillary's own task force that worked in secret and didn't obey any federal laws in conducting the meetings.
We don't have minutes.
We don't have records.
We don't have expense vouchers.
As Newt Gingrich said yesterday, you try that with your business when the IRS comes around, see how far you get.
Now, we've chronicled just the changes that have taken place detail-wise.
I'm going to go through this just for the exercise of it.
In six weeks, from the time the blueprint was leaked until now, the plan has been presented.
Follow me on the screen with this.
Estimated federal savings have dropped from $91 billion to $60 billion.
These are the revisions they've come up with.
The date of universal coverage has been delayed to January 1998.
The estimate of annual inflation that this plan will cause has been raised from 2.7% to 3.5%.
The increased allowance for unexpected subsidies has gone from $30 billion to $45 billion.
That's for small business.
And the plan is now defined as a capped entitlement, which means Congress would have to vote on what to do if costs outrun estimates.
Well, that means there are no caps at all if there is a mechanism to spend beyond the caps.
Now, lest we forget, ladies and gentlemen, when they gave us Medicare back in 1965, they said that by 1990 it would never cost more than $6.5 billion a year.
That was their estimate.
What does it really cost us now?
$132 billion is what we spend on Medicare.
That just gives you some evidence of just how worthless government projections really are.
Now take a look.
Here is the real meaning behind all this.
Two newspaper stories.
Actually, I got one here from the New York Times.
I want to show you a headline.
President says he is ready to compromise if the result offers security for all.
Now leave that up there.
Mrs. Clinton also welcomed congressional input and said the plan was just a framework off of which to work, but she hoped the debate would shed light, not heat.
What does this mean?
It means the details are irrelevant to them.
They don't care about the details at all.
As long as this ends up under total government control, they'll compromise on everything.
This is not about providing universal health coverage.
This is about Bill Clinton being able to re-FDR America.
They're bragging about how they've come up with the next social security plan.
This is the one that rivals Social Security created in 1936 and they're happy and that's what they're trying to do here, my friends.
He wants credit.
And he doesn't want this thing implemented before 1996 because if it is, he's not going to get re-elected.
That's why they've moved it back to 1998.
But here he is trying to save everybody from this terrible crisis.
And if he gets re-elected and the plan comes out, it doesn't matter what the details are.
He doesn't care what the details are.
That's why this plan doesn't have any details that can be followed.
That's why it's 1,300 pages with another 500 or so to explain it, because it doesn't matter.
They're totally willing for there to be a month, 12 months, 18 months of debate on this, because it doesn't matter as long as universal coverage is how this thing ends up.
People have to oppose this philosophically.
You have to say, I don't want any part of this.
You can't let the agenda be set by the administration because socialized medicine is not the solution.
The private sector, the free market, can do this better and more efficiently with more freedom and more choice for all of you.
And there are plenty of great alternatives out there.
And I think people are beginning to note and become aware of this because of the polling data showing so little support for this as presented.
We have more after this break.
don't go away.

Got a major gubernatorial race coming up in New Jersey on Tuesday.
Big time.
Jim Florio there on the left, Flim Flam Florio, and on the right, Christy Todd Whitman.
Let me give you a little history here, because Florio ought not even be on the radar screen in this race.
If the Republican Party knew what it was doing, Florio wouldn't even be running for re-election.
He'd be hiding from the people.
He promised no tax increases.
In fact, promised some tax cuts.
Before he even sat down in the governor's chair after being elected, he raised taxes $3 billion.
New Jersey residents were furious.
They had all kinds of economic damage.
It practically got killed.
It was far worse than the rest of the economy was at the time.
Businesses shut down, foreclosures occurred.
And to give you an idea as how bad it was, the Republicans in midterm elections in New Jersey swept control of both houses of the New Jersey legislature simply because of the anger at Florio.
Christy Whitman ran for senator against Bradley when he was up for re-election, scared him to death.
Came down to just a couple of percentage points, and it was all because of anger at Florio.
And now, this race, she has been trailing by as much as 10 points.
It's close to win five or four now.
You people in New Jersey, I want to tell you something.
You have a huge responsibility on your hands, because let me tell you what's at stake here.
If you re-elect Jim Florio, you are sending a message to every politician in this country that they can promise to cut your taxes, break the promise and then raise your taxes all over the place and you won't care.
Now, I don't take sides in political races, as you well know.
That wouldn't be fair.
It would compromise my objectivity as a journalist.
But I am telling you, this is crucial, not just for New Jersey, but I'm going to be watching.
I'm going to be keeping my eye on you people in New Jersey and what you do because the nation is facing a creeping socialism.
It's headed right at everybody from Washington, D.C.
And if you don't punish Jim Florio for what he did, and if you allow him to be re-elected, the message is very clear to every politician out there.
And you wait, they're going to say, see, the American people know that we have to raise taxes to pay for these new programs and to pay for these services.
The public in New Jersey matured.
And then look out because everybody is going to be thinking that you will suffer a tax increase and eventually forgive the guy who did it.
Back with more, right after this.
It's bold!
It's brilliant.
It's me shining the light of truth on the liars and deceivers in Washington.

I wonder, is she still here?
She's not?
Ooh.

We have another guest.
We have, what is it, the seven-month-old now?
The seven-month-old Kristen Suzanne Limbaugh is here to see her first edition of Rush Limbaugh The Television.
Bring her on out.
Hi, Kristen.
You go ahead.
Let me see.
Well, Tim.
Hang on, Kristen.

You're on TV, Kristen.
There you go.
Isn't she cute?
She is.
Hey, don't go away from yourself.
There you go.
Bet you people didn't know that I was capable of this, did you?
Kristen, Kristen was born in March in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and her parents are my brother and sister-in-law.
She looks just like my brother, which is amazing because she's, oh, she's cute.
You want to wave at the people out there?
Look at that.
She actually is waving.
Here you go, Michelle.
There she is.
She is totally awestruck being with me.
David Lee, are they in here?
I couldn't find them.
There they are.
They're the parents.
Can we get a shout out to the parents?
There is my brother and the mother there on the left.
They didn't.
I was looking for you.
I didn't know you were here.
I thought you all were back there.
When you come here, you never want to watch the show anyway.
Well, let's see.
Now, what are we doing?
Where's the brick?
Is the brick...
Am I missing something?
Yeah, in the shell.
Where's the brick?
Ah, okay.
Okay, here we go.
Do you know, ladies and gentlemen, that we have branched out into a new business?
And I have an explanation of what this is about coming up soon in this segment.
On our last show, we talked a little bit about politics.
I want to talk a little bit more about politics.
We've talked about the governor's race in New Jersey.
This time, it's time to talk about the mayoral race in New York City.
Four years ago, a man named David Dinkins, who was at the time the Manhattan Borough president, ran for mayor.
He won the primary, and this city and the newspaper columnists and all the liberals in New York City just went gaga the next day.
Now, this is the primary.
The primary.
The next day, you should have seen the headlines in the papers.
City is cleaner today.
Penhandlers are nicer today when they beg for money.
The sweet smelling in New York today.
I mean, it was enough to make you sick.
And it was all because, it was all because that the city had said to itself, we are good people.
We have elected our first African-American mayor.
It didn't matter that he may not be qualified.
It was that his skin color said that we have done the right thing.
And he ran on the premise that everything was going to get healed.
The gorgeous mosaic, that is, all the different ethnicities and cultural representations here were going to come together in one giant, happy little party, and New York was going to be unlike it had ever been.
Of course, it hasn't been that way at all.
New York has continued to decline, to balkanize.
People who commit crime are somehow coddled, and those who are having crimes committed against them are not being defended properly.
And the city is in a mess.
So Rudolph Giuliani, who ran for mayor against Dinkins last time and lost by two points, is running for him for mayor again this time around.
Now, who's first on this?
Streisand's up first.
The Dinkins, General Dinkins, has pulled out all the stops.
He's brought in all the heavy artillery.
He's gone out and he's found the most able spokespeople for his campaign.
And as an example of some of the brilliance and some of the profound reasoning that is being shown to New Yorkers why they ought to re-elect General Dinkins, here is Barbara Streisand and her reasons for re-electing him.
The people have a clear choice.
A candidate who represents the politics of inclusion and social justice, or his opponent who represents the politics of division, the politics of the past, the politics of the right which has torn at the social fabric of our country over the last 12 years.
Well, see, there you go.
This city has just continued to plummet.
There hadn't been a conservative run the show in this city in generations, much less the last 12 years.
Now, my friends, the heavy artillery has also consisted of the President of the United States, Mrs. Clinton, a number of other people.
We decided that we would put together a commercial for you that would illustrate this show's thoughts on this campaign.
Now, keep in mind, the New York Times last Sunday editorialized Ford Dinkins on the basis that change is risky and that values are too important.
Now, when was the last time you heard that expressed in a campaign?
It's been a long time.
In fact, just a year ago when electing Bill Clinton, what were we told?
We must have the courage to change.
And that values and character don't matter at all.
Things are too bad out there.
We've got to, we have courage to change.
So using that as our guide, we have put together a little bit.
Call it a campaign commercial if you want.
It's a parody ad, but here's what we would do if we were running the Giuliani campaign.
New York, trying to decide between General Dinkins and Rudy Giuliani?
Well, if you voted for Clinton Gore, listen to Clinton Gore.
It's time to change.
Everything that should be down is up.
Everything that should be up is down.
Do you want more hot air, more rhetoric, more politicians out there telling you what you want to hear?
Or somebody who will tell you the truth?
My wife Hillary gave me a book about a year ago in which the author defined insanity as just doing the same old thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
If our president and vice president meant what they said in 92, they still mean it in 93.
Paid for by citizens for a livable New York.
Now, coming up on the rest of our show tonight, we've gone out and talked to some people on the street, asked them who they think the most scary public figure is in America today, given that it's around Halloween.
And we're going to talk a little bit about Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the president in exile of Haiti.
We also have some interesting news.
The president's taking all kinds of credit for great economic news, particularly what he says are brand new deficit figures that show the deficit coming way, way down, and a number of other things, too.
So stay right where you are.
Stay glued to your seat or your bed, wherever you are, and we'll get started with the rest of the show right after this.

We don't just do radio and television shows.
We have a line of licensed merchandise, ditto pins that people swallow and get caught in their stomach and so forth.

We showed you the ad for this new product.
I'd like to replay the ad for you, EI Bricks.

EIB announces the ultimate weapon, EI Bricks.

Just wanted to show you that we are true to our word.
When we say a product's available, product's available.
Can you imagine?
We had, in our last show, we had a lady here from St. Louis.
She was a liberal, and I didn't judge that from her hairdo.
She left.
Can you imagine if she were here and had seen this?
Oh, I wish we could have glued her to her seat.
All right, it's Halloween, as you know.
This is the year of hobgoblins and witches going out trick-or-treating.
And I remember Halloween.
I used to play all kinds of practical jokes.
I actually hated going on Halloween, trick-or-treat, because she had to walk.
You know what I did?
David, you remember this.
You remember this?
At our house at 412 sunset in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, my brother and I lived upstairs.
And there were windows right over the front stoop where these yucko little kids would come begging for candy and stuff.
And they'd come in with their parents.
We have water balloons up there.
Now, we're eight or nine years old.
This is big stuff for your eight or nine-year-old kid.
And just boom, bomb them with water.
That's what was fun to me.
I didn't do any of the serious stuff like eggs or any of that kind of rot.
But that's the fun that I remember on Halloween.
We went out, we sent Nick Africano out today, dressed up as Al Gore.
And we asked him, just ask people on the street who they think is the scariest public figure in America today, and here's what we got.
Considering Halloween is on Sunday, I'd like to know who you think the scariest public figure is.
The scariest?
Hmm.
At the moment, I guess probably Leona.
She just got out of jail, I think.
Ross Perot.
God, she looks like you.
She acts like you, too.
This is scariest.
I have to go to a Roseanne Bar.
Definitely.
Definitely.
Why is that?
Why?
I don't think you need an explanation.
Just look at it, right?
Bill Clinton.
Sir, as you know, Sunday is Halloween, and I'd like to know who you think the scariest public figure is.
I think that you are the scariest figure that I've ever seen because the devil is straight out of hell.
And I think that's your hardcore, man.
You look good.
You look good.
I'd like to know who you think the scariest public figure is and why.
I had to say Jesse Helms.
Just, you know, he's a senator.
It's a pretty powerful guy.
And he's just Mr. Pro-Tobacco Lobby.
And I think, you know, stands against women's rights and freedom of speech and censorship and stuff.
stuff that scares me now we have we have uh this is fine fine tobacco by the way sir We have some suggested Halloween costumes for you.
If you still haven't made up your mind what you'd like to go out trick-or-treating as three ideas.
You could dress up as Hillary Clinton and go as the President of the United States.
You could dress up as Hillary Clinton and go out as J. Edgar Hoover.
Or you could paint your face white, grab your 12-year-old nephew, and go out as Michael Jackson.
We'll be back after this for the rest of the show.
Well, I'm glad the president's doing something about health care reform.
He's right.
We need it.
But some of these details.
Like a national limit on health care?
Really?
The government caps how much the country can spend on health care and says that's it.
So, what if our health plan runs out of money?
There's got to be a better way.
There is a better way to reform.

Hey, Dragerything!
We want to watch the dog show.
Okay, we can watch both.
Sunday!
Miller Light presents the Wiener Dog International!
It's Muffy vs. Dogzilla.
And here they come, Bob, brought to you by Miller Light.
If you can combine great taste with less filling, you can combine anything.
And Muffy takes it.
That's one fast wiener dog.
Great taste, less filling.
Can your beer do this?
This is good beer.
When you get the huts, if buying a used car or truck makes you sweat, head for tidy as wheel for Toyota in Tacoma and our 72-hour money-back guarantee.

This guarantee is good.
And any purchase of $2,000 or more.
When you get the hots, we've got a good deal.
The title for Toyota.
I-5 at 38 in Tacoma.
570 KBI, the one that's hot, is the only place you'll find Rush Limbaugh.
Saying more in five seconds than the average host says in an entire show.
Rush Limbaugh, talent on loan from God here on the EIB Network.
Here's Seattle's best-known conservative, John Carlson, out of the box and on KBI, weekdays 4 to 6 p.m.
Face it, folks, you are addicted to this show.
Two reasons why 570 KVI is the one that's hot.
I wanted to show the depth perception of that.
See, I want to put the paperback book in there to show you that that's actually a carving and a picture of me on there.
But when you do that, it doesn't look like me anymore.
It defeats the purpose.
Well, one way or the other works.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who is the chosen favorite to lead Haiti, has come under attack recently.
Some are saying that the man is not all there.
Jesse Helms on the floor of the United States Senate put it rather directly, bluntly.
Listen, why are you doing?
This man is a psychopath.
And I don't think we have any business whatsoever, Mr. President, risking one life of one soldier or one sailor or any other American to put him back into office.
Thanks for those tobacco.
Shout out to Dee.
Now, we have proof that he is psycho.
This man, watch who he decides to, I mean, actually, look who he kisses here.
It's Carol Mosley Braun.
I mean, that's not a rational thing to do.
So this is serious.
You know, we're making light of it, but really, this man has come under a lot of criticism.
Can he be trusted to run Haiti?
He went out.
Actually, somebody went out and talked to a doctor.
This guy is taking two medications, two different types of medication for psychological disorders.
He's taking Haldol and lithium together.
now i don't know anything about those drugs because i'm the most well-adjusted grounded individual in the world i don't know what these drug anytime i say it's a combination of lithium and how about people go And I don't know what.
I now know because I researched this today.
Here's what this doctor says happens to you on these drugs, why you take them.
Haldahl is an antipsychotic medication which is given for quite severe psychotic disorders where thinking and reasoning is affected.
So we went out, my friends, as part of the research for the show.
We went out and got some of these drugs and I opened up the package to look at the pamphlet that comes with the drugs that lists the side effects.
This is lithium.
This is Haldahl.
These are just a list of some of the side effects.
And I've listed them here for you on the screen so you can see.
Here are the side effects just of Haldahl.
Take a look at this.
Insomnia, restlessness, anxiety, euphoria, agitation, drowsiness, depression, lethargy, headache, confusion, vertigo, grand mild seizures, exacerbation of psychotic symptoms, including hallucinations, and catatonic-like behavioral states, which may be responsive to drug withdrawal.
If this is what it does to you, can you imagine how screwed up you've got to be before you take it?
Gee!
I mean, come on.
Those are the things you're willing to endure in order to get well.
Oh, that's that.
And let me tell you, here's another thing.
Here's serious something on this.
Why do we care about Jean-Bertrand Aristide going down to Haiti?
We only care about it.
We don't care about it.
Bill Clinton doesn't care a hoot who's running Haiti.
He's just trying to satisfy the political demands of the Congressional Black Caucus led by Queasi Mfumi.
These are the people that want Aristide down there.
And during the budget debate, Clinton did some things with the budget that the Black Caucus didn't like, and he lost their support.
And he's just trying to get their support back for health care and other future pieces of legislation.
And those of you watch the news and you'll see that it's Queasi Mfumi and Chuck Wrangell and these guys that are demanding that Jesse Jackson and all Maxine Waters and that crowd that are demanding that Aristide be put back in power.
It's just another thing Clinton really doesn't care about.
It's whatever helps him get what he wants.
Principle is irrelevant.
We'll be back one final segment after this.

Welcome back.
The president is trying to take all the credit for what he says is a reduced federal deficit.
He claims it's all in his economic plan finally taking hold.
Here's how he says it himself.
When our administration took office, the deficit for this year was projected to be well in excess of $300 billion.
The Treasury Department and the Office of Management and Budget have confirmed today that in the end it turned out to be substantially lower.
We finished this year with a deficit of $255 billion, over $50 billion below where it was projected to be.
After years of bad policies and bad estimates, when lower deficits actually went far higher, it's pleasing to me to see that a deficit came in lower than it was projected because of efforts directed to lower interest rates, which had significant direct and indirect benefits to this economy.
All right, let's go back to January 6th of this year.
Here's what he said then.
With today's release with the OMB and the new deficit protections, we now can see the full magnitude of the debt we will inherit and the challenge that we must confront.
Nine months ago, 10 months ago, he's complaining, ladies and gentlemen, about how they had lied to him about the deficit projections and how they were going to be much worse than ever.
Bottom line is, we are not spending any less and we're not having any growth.
The only reason that the deficit is lower is because it's costing less to finance it because they're using short-term government bonds to do it purposely to make themselves look good.
There's no growth and there's no reduced spending going on.
We have a viewer video I want to close the show with.
Man's in our audience tonight.
Thank you, sir, for sending it in.
here it is if spotted owls could talk what would they say about the clinton gore environmental policy Huh?
What would we say?
Well, I think it's great.
Hey, who's more important here anyhow?
Us owls or people?
Ha!
Everyone knows owls are more important.
Is that what you think?
Yeah.
Well, let me show you what the rest of us think.
Because if you owls can't live with us, then we're just going to have to live without you.
Mega Dittos, Rush.
Hey, he's here tonight.
Thank you so much.
Have a great next couple of days or whatever.
We'll see you when we next return.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Rush Limbaugh.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You're very kind.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I'm so happy you all are here.
It's great to have you with us too, all the folks at home, wherever you happen to be watching the program.
Great to see you tonight.
This is a huge week.
I must tell you, we got a great week coming.
On Thursday, my new book comes out, See, I Told You So.
Can I tell you something?
We have an original printing of 2 million, which is an American record.
There is no book in the history of this country that has had that large an initial printing.
The other fact is that you have, I guess, been able for the past month or so to go into bookstores and fill out a card that says, yes, yes, yes, I want this book.
I want it as soon as I can get it.
There's the book, even now.
Look at how fast the crew is.
And people have signed up for this book now to the tune, I think, of 550,000 copies in one day.
That's going to be our first day sale of just the pre-orders.
thank you folks very much.
Then on Friday night is the 2020 profile of me that was done in August with Barbara Walters.
And everybody says, do you think she's going to be nice to you?
My friends, I did this interview.
I was there.
And it's one of the warmest and fuzziest interviews that, in fact, she says things.
She'll ask me a question and I gave her my answer.
give you one inch you want to give you just one little just rush are you seeing anybody And I said, you know, Ms. Walters, I don't answer questions like that in public just as you don't.
I don't get into my private life publicly such as this.
Besides, if I were to name a woman for you, the other five would get living.
And what a bunch of prudes in this audience.
And she said, why do I like you?
Oh, she smiled.
But it's a good warm and fuzzy.
And then Sunday night, I go to Chicago because I have been inducted into the prestigious Radio Hall of Fame, and the induction ceremonies are Sunday night.
So this is going to be an exciting week.
And we got great weather in New York.
It was 40 degrees and raining and foggy on Sunday, or foggy, and that is my all-time favorite kind of day.
So, I mean, I'm just, I'm in a great, great.
No, it is.
I am really, you don't sweat during days like that.
Unless, of course, you fall prey to having a fireplace, then you defeat the whole purpose of cold, dank, and muggy.
But sometimes you make compromises for romance.
Audience, I've never heard him talk about this kind of stuff before.
I wonder.
How many of you saw the McLaughlin group over the weekend?
Any of you laugh while you were watching it?
I must tell you something, folks.
I predicted this too.
I predicted that if, if it was discovered that a disadvantaged American started one or more of the fires in Los Angeles, that people, liberals, would all of a sudden change their tune.
Well, we must understand.
They are disadvantaged.
Why?
They must have had a reason for it, and we would rationalize it.
Lo and behold, already it's happened.
You want to watch something that'll make you incredulous.
Here is Eleanor Clift on the McLaughlin group this past weekend.
Watch.
Most of the communities that have been hit are wealthier and there's going to be insurance recovery.
I think the insurance company is going to take a big hit.
But the fact that it was started by a homeless man trying to keep warm, couple that with the suspicion of arson, one of the fires was started by a homeless man trying to keep warm.
It represents the strains in our society, from neglect to the nihilism, the burned baby nihilism of people who would actually go out and start fires like this.
Do you believe it?
She's excusing it.
I mean, it represents the divisions in our society.
And did you hear, it's okay.
It was the rich who lost their homes anyway in an affluent neighborhood.
I think these liberals are getting so predictable, it's not even fun anymore.
Used to be fun to try to predict what they were going to say and have them fall into the trap.
Now, I mean, it's just, it's getting too easy.
Maybe it's because I'm so good at it and have been doing it for so long.
Now, this next sets up the rest of the show in large part.
Because we have a show tonight basically on health care and how I think, we're going to try to demonstrate to you tonight how the administration is now getting panicky and hysterical and is for the most part losing control of this.
And it's such fun to see.
How many of you remember?
I want to take you back.
Most people's memories are very short.
Remember the budget battles this past summer?
Why did we have to raise taxes?
Why did we need the president's budget?
The deficit.
Remember, the deficit monster was going to kill us.
Since 1981, liberal Democrats have been scaring and frightening the American people by suggesting that this deficit is the ruination of America.
And unless we get our handle on this, unless we get a handle on it, it's going to destroy us.
And so people have been, and they've been responding to it.
Everybody said, all right, we've got to get a handle on the deficit.
And the people responded, fine, give us a budget that actually cuts spending.
We will agree to raise some taxes, so they said, but you've got to cut spending.
And there wasn't enough cutting.
And the president, in order to get the last votes necessary, if you'll recall, Marjorie Margoli's Judas Misvinsky from Pennsylvania, well, she promised her constituents all the time she'd been in office that she would never vote for this plan.
And to the last minute, they twisted her arm and promised her a summit meeting in her district.
So a lot of people have said, all right, fine.
Now let's get, remember Bob Kerry's speech?
That self-serving sanctimonious speech he made on the Senate floor?
All right, this plan's not good enough, Mr. President.
I'm going to support you, but we need to get serious about cutting the budget.
And a lot of people went along with that.
So John Kasich from Ohio and Tim Penny, who's retiring, he's a Democrat from Minnesota, last week announced a plan that contains $100, a billion dollars, $100 billion of additional spending cuts, and they made their presentation.
I want you to read along with me the response to this plan, this suggestion.
The response was from the Speaker of the House, Tom Foley.
He said, in opposing the plan, if all we do is assign every dollar of savings to deficit reduction, we are not going to develop a policy of recycling federal programs in more efficient and effective investments.
And I think that will tend to reduce to some degree the interest of the Congress in affecting those savings.
So they in essence have said here, Foley has died, we're not going to cut any spending anymore.
You guys had your chance.
We got our budget and forget it.
And he's furthermore said here that unless some of these cuts go to funding new programs, the Congress won't go along for it anyway.
My point, you know, I went out to the Baker Steel Business Conference a couple years ago, three years ago now, and I made a speech, and it was after the 1990 budget deal.
And I stood up there using great parody, great satire, and I said, hey, isn't it great the deficit's been fixed?
We just got a five-year deficit reduction bill.
We're going to have a deficit of $60 billion at the end of five years.
I'm so happy.
I don't want to hear another word about the deficit because it's been fixed.
It's over with.
Don't you people?
Aren't you happy?
There's no more deficit problem.
And following me to the podium was the former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara who said, totally not getting it, well, I would like to disagree with Mr. Lindbaugh.
I think we have a lot of work to do on the deficit and so forth.
Here's my point.
You have just been that to you.
Tom Foley just said to you, forget it, we got our deal.
We're not going to go along with any more budget cuts.
If I were you, I would be offended to no end.
They have done nothing, these Democrats, but try to scare you to death about the danger posed by this deficit.
$100 billion is measly.
$100 billion cut in spending is measly.
It doesn't even get to the problem, and still it's not good enough.
As far as I'm concerned, they can never again come to us with the dangers of the deficit and justify all of these economic policies which are going to stifle this economy and not grow it.
And I wanted to point this out to you.
Remember this.
They're not interested in budget cuts as the rest of the show unfolds, which will happen right after this break.
Don't go away.

Let's have a little fun.
I've told you at the beginning that they're losing control of their health care plan.
They're losing control of the spin, which means the lies are not working.
They're losing control of the PR.
Let me just show you a series of newspaper headlines that chronicle the confusion beginning with last Thursday.
Let's start with this.
Here's where we put a little montage.
This is Donna Shalala making a speech or doing testimony before a committee in the Senate hosted by and chaired by Senator Moynihan of New York.
Now, just about a month earlier, the First Lady had projected there would be maybe 22 to 30% of the American people would pay a little more for health care.
Just 22 or 30%.
Then Donna Shalala goes up to Capitol Hill, show that headline again.
She says 40% will pay more for care.
Here's the next headline.
Moynihan, medical plan will cost us, sees hikes for 40% of the American people.
The next one?
Health plan support slips.
Clinton tries to clarify cost issue.
We're now up to 40%.
That's 100 million people.
Clinton aid hits health critics.
This is Ira Magaziner who says it won't cost more money for anybody but 15% of the American people.
So we went from 22% from Hillary to 40% from Shalala.
Then, oh my gosh, we're losing control of this.
And they clarified it.
Then Magaziner goes on TV Sunday and says, nope, it'll only be 15%.
Here's the video supporting all this.
This is actually quite funny.
Here is Shalala testifying before Moynihan's committee last week.
Watch.
For 60% of Americans, these costs will be lower than what's spent today.
For most of the remaining people, the cost will either be slightly higher, but they'll get better benefits.
Only a few will pay more without gaining additional benefits.
Wait, now wait.
How few of them are there?
15%.
About 15%.
Many of them are high-income.
One American and seven.
And I would have the committee note that we've just been told that for 40% of persons who now have insurance, and I would assume that in the whole population, that's getting close to 100 million people, is it not?
Look at that.
Uh-oh, they're on to us.
100 million people.
Uh-oh, they're on to us.
She knows it now.
The whole population would be 100 million people.
100 million people will have their premiums, their costs go up.
Of those, 50 million roughly would have their benefits improved, and the rest would not because they'd be in a different insurance setting.
Look at, did you see?
Now, Shalala got nailed there.
Did you see?
That's about 100 million people, and she looks to her aid.
Oh, no.
See, they don't want to admit this 40% for now, but it gets better.
Here is, here is Leon Panetta with his assessment, ladies and gentlemen, of how the costs will be parceled out.
Let's get this.
Yes, 60% are going to pay less.
Don't forget, 60% are going to pay less.
25% of the 40% are going to pay slightly more, but they're going to get better benefits.
These are the individuals who now have $2,000 to $3,000 deductibles.
You won't have that under the Clinton plan.
And the 15% that are going to pay just a few dollars more, they're the ones that are going to basically get health care security.
They're going to be buying the fact that nobody can take health care security away from them.
That's pretty important for all Americans.
Oh, okay, so you got 60% are going to pay less.
That means 40% are going to pay more.
But of that 40%, only 25% actually, because they're the ones who have the $2,000 and $3,000 deductibles.
You see, what they're going to do is lower the deductibles.
I suggest most people have $2,000 and $3,000 deductibles, don't spend that money anyway.
So to lower the deductible is not saving anybody any money.
This is kind of like baseline budgeting.
You don't spend what you'd projected to spend.
You spend a little bit less than what you'd projected.
You're still spending more.
You call it a cut.
Here is, well, that's how it works.
I mean, if you can follow it, it's about as confusing as it is.
Now, after Panetta said that, after Shalala said that, there had to be a meeting at the White House.
Oh, my gosh, we're in trouble.
We just admitted the truth.
The truth is going to kill us.
So they sent Ira Ichabod longneck, Ichabod Crane.
Really, this guy, take his head off.
He's a headless horseman.
They sent this guy out on Meet the Press Sunday to set us all straight.
Here's what he said.
I mean, 70% of the people, when this is fully phased in, are going to pay less money than they're paying now.
The 15% who are going to have to pay more are going to get something that money can't buy, which is they're going to have health care security.
That means regardless of what happens to them, whether they lose their job or change jobs or they become ill or their child becomes ill, they're going to have health care security with a comprehensive set of benefits.
It's a very, very different situation than in 1988.
Okay, let's see if I got this straight now.
An up to 70% who won't pay more.
15% are going to get what money can't buy.
If money can't buy it, why are we spending anything?
I mean, you see how they're losing now.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, now.
Now, the first lady, Hillary Clinton, is on Friday in Kansas City had this to say about all of this.
Everyone must pay something for their health care.
The day of the free lunch has to be over.
Everybody's got to pay something now.
Now, but wait, wait, you know what this is all about?
This is redistribution.
This is raising taxes.
This is on 100 million people to cover 37 million people who don't have any insurance.
So they're continuing not to pay anything.
This is nothing more than, again, taxing the rich and redistributing the money.
Another point is, what about the unemployed?
You know, they say that the employer is going to pay for 80% of all this, but what about the unemployment?
If you lose your job, you're still covered.
Who's paying for that?
Isn't it a free lunch if you're not paying for it?
And if you're not employed someplace where ostensibly your employer is in pay for it, so all of this hit the fan today.
Hillary Clinton, speaking in Baltimore to the American Academy of Pediatrics, actually in Washington, said this: Let's stop this nonsense about who pays and who doesn't pay under the president's proposal.
Now, she said it.
Most people will pay less or the same for much better benefits.
We have got them, folks.
They are on the run because the truth is willing out, and we've got even more when we come back.
so don't go away.

Thank you.
Welcome back.
Glad you're with us.
Okay.
Now we have a new villain in the health care proposals.
Used to be the pharmaceuticals industry.
Remember that?
All through the spring, Mrs. Clinton bashed them left and right.
They were the reason that we are in trouble in the country, not just with health care, but everything, because the pharmaceuticals are just raping everybody.
Last week, a new villain was signifying.
We were warned.
As West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller last Wednesday, 27th of October, had this to say to the American people.
Oh, I think the insurance companies, the ones that are opposing this, will be reduced to laughing stock before this is over.
I mean, I think already they've been exposed.
I think they will not be major players in another month or so.
Okay, folks, but that was last week.
Now, today, Mrs. Clinton at Washington's meeting of the American Pediatrics Association amplified on it viciously.
Watch.
Yet I know you've all seen the ads, you know, the kind of homey kitchen ads where you've got the couple sitting there talking about how the president's plan is going to take away choice and the president's plan is going to narrow options.
And then that sort of heartfelt sigh by that woman at the end, there must be a better way.
You know, you've all seen that, right?
What you don't get told in that ad is that it is paid for by insurance companies who think their way is the better way.
They like what is happening today.
They like being able to exclude people from coverage because the more they can exclude, the more money they can make.
Hey, she's hated you.
Wait a minute.
Did you hear some?
She's getting a little hysterical here.
Now, so the insurance companies aren't telling us that they're buying the ads.
So what?
this administration is not telling us they're a bunch of socialists she's just created a new villain Now, my friends, if you want some stock market advice, go out to your broker tomorrow and tell him you want to sell short in insurance company stocks because this is going to cause the insurance stocks to plummet.
You sell short like she did with pharmaceuticals.
Business Week.
No, it's not in Business Week magazine last week.
They had this.
You can make a quick killing here on the devaluing of insurance company style.
I mean, see what I get to at the beginning of the program?
They're not interested in saving money.
Here's a chance.
Two congressmen want to save $100 billion.
Foley says, no, we need new government spending.
We need new programs.
Here's Mrs. Clinton.
The villains are now insurance companies.
That's why this country is in trouble.
I love seeing them kind of lose their cool on this.
And notice she's also saying the president's plan.
Somehow she's distanced herself from this.
We'll be back after this.
Don't go away.
Add a piece.
Add a filet, Ray.

Two reasons why 570 KBI is the one that's hot.
Back to the American Academy of Pediatrics Convention in Washington.
Mrs. Clinton continuing now with her.
I think she's a little agitated, maybe hysterical.
Here's something else she said in a comment to follow.
And one of the great lies that is currently afoot in the country is that the president's plan will limit choice.
To the contrary, the president's plan enhances choice.
Oh, yeah.
Here's your plan.
Let's go to page 68.
The one paragraph which shows that she's not telling the truth about this.
A provider may not charge or collect from a patient a fee in excess of the fee schedule adopted by an alliance.
What that means is that you can't go choose a doctor and pay him separately.
You've got to go through the plan.
The doctor can't charge anymore, so he isn't going to be there, ladies and gentlemen.
There is limited choice because they want to drive doctors out of private practice.
It's in their own plan.
Nailed them again.
We'll do it again tomorrow.

The views and opinions expressed on the Rush Limbaugh show do not necessarily reflect the views of the staff and management of KCPQ-TV or the Kelly Television Company.
Most of the problems today can be associated with the last 12 years.
Don't you read?
Yeah, I read.
Well, read this.
Rush, Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Rush Limbaugh!
Thank you very much.
This is so tough.
This is really tough duty.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you so much for coming.
And thanks, all of you, for joining us on another exciting installment of Broadcast Excellence on Television.
This is Rush Limbaugh The TV show.
Happy you're with us.
Well, as you saw during the open, this is a big day.
This is, as we take, this is November 4th.
It's Thursday, and this is the day that the copies of my new book go on sale.
An American publishing record has been set.
The original printing here is 2 million copies, and the first week sale, or however long it takes people to pick up their books, the pre-sale on this is about 550,000.
We went out, shot some video today here in New York, just to show you what it looks like at bookstores around the country.
Here it is on, oh, look at that, already being purchased.
There's a big display there.
I don't know what that was.
There we are, right next to Lady Thatcher in that display.
There's now, I want, here's a happy, this guy is trying to read the book without buying it, which is an absolute no-no.
And here is another, just a sample of the display.
Two million copies throughout the United States.
People were lined up.
I just got off the phone.
In fact, Photo Show started tonight.
Get off the phone with my editor, Judith Regan, over at Pocketbooks, which is a division of, hi, Simon Schuster.
And people were lined up this morning outside bookstores all over the country waiting for bookstores to open.
And again, folks, you're going to have to please accept this as sincere.
I offer this from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you so much.
But I want to tell you something.
I am really proud of this.
I don't want to denigrate the first book by any means because it was a very good book and I was very proud of it.
But this one is written during a different period of time.
The Clinton administration had already been inaugurated.
This book was written beginning in January and all the way through October, actually through September, the first part of September, so almost eight to nine months.
And as we all, I think, agree here, the times are a little bit more serious from the time the last book was written.
And this really is irrefutable.
If you thought the first book was a Bible of conservatism, then this one is even more so.
This is going to give you every fact you'll need to refute the 80s, and it's there in layman's language with all the numbers.
All of the documentation is there.
This ought to be in every classroom in college political science and history and economic divisions or high school everywhere.
It just should be there.
And I'm extremely ecstatic about it.
And I hope when you get it, that is, you did with the first one, you read it.
Do you know how many copies this book are out there?
Of all of this, the hardcover version of the way things ought to be, there are about 2.6 million copies.
2 million copies of the paperback version, that's, what is that, 4.6 million there if I have added that right.
And, well, you know, I went to school in America.
I may not know.
Just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
Then, what else?
Now, there are of the audio cassette version, there's something like 500,000 copies of the audio cassette version.
So that takes us up to, what, 5.1 million?
And then today, with these 2 million, so we get 7.1 million copies of Limbaugh books scattered all across the fruited plain.
That's probably more people than can read in this country.
Again, I am just kidding.
Now, I want to, we learned some things from last year.
When the book was released, there were a lot of people who did everything they could to get people not to buy it.
And I want to run through some of those things to prepare you as you go to the bookstore this time to get the book.
Do not let, for example, a scowling, surly clerk intimidate you.
Last year, people would go in and get the book, and the clerk would go, in that case, buy two.
Ask for another.
If you're feeling really good, ask if you could buy one for the clerk and say, you know, you might enjoy life if you read this book instead of sitting there and being so surly.
Follow me this way, ladies and gentlemen.
We show you another ploy that was attempted.
This is the front of the book, and this is how it should normally be displayed in your store.
But depending on the friendliness of the store, it may look like this.
They may turn it around so that the back cover is facing out, and you may not know this, so we wanted to show you what the back cover looks like, so you'll recognize it.
Also, I would advise checking out the fiction section.
Check out the cooking section, check out the science fiction section, check out the cutout section, check out the discount section.
They'll take this book and they'll put it everywhere but where you'd expect to find it.
Also, be on the lookout for gangs of liberals that will be hey, I am not making this up.
This stuff all happened.
This stuff all happened.
The gangs of liberals will be lurking around the display of my book.
Now, you won't see them, they'll be off to the side, and you'll walk up as a happy customer, and you'll get the book, and all of a sudden, these gangs will descend on you.
Why do you want to buy that?
This guy's a nut.
He's a sexist, he's a racist, he's a fobo, homophobe.
You don't want to see that.
In that case, buy two.
Now, these things all happened.
They really did.
I want to, let me grab a seat here very quickly because in New York News Day today, Paul Colford, who writes the book column, has this little blurb, and I want to read this to you.
These are his words.
These are not mine.
As you know, I very seldom get braggadocious.
And self-centered, I try to keep the show focused on the issues.
But I must read this to you because this is what this is what Mr. Colford said.
He says that seismic tremor you may feel in the next few days is only the sound of two million copies of Rush Limbaugh's new book being racked on store shelves.
The launch of Sea, I Told You So represents a record first printing bigger than the one and a half million copies announced for Stephen King's new collection of stories, Nightmares and Dreamscapes.
The ambitious release, there's nothing ambitious about that.
See, that word ambitious, I mean, man, they're really hoping this.
This is not ambitious.
This is in response to demand.
Popular demand dictates the size of the original printing.
This release follows the conservative broadcaster's big score with his first book of opinions, The Way Things Ought to Be, which has sold millions of copies in hardcover, paperback, and audio cassette tape.
Then, here's a little surprise: around Thanksgiving time, we're going to release 75,000 gift editions of the book.
For $45, the book is normally.
Let me check.
In fact, I don't even.
There's the price here.
I'll look inside.
Yep, he was right.
We've moved the price up by a buck from last year.
I didn't know it.
It's $24.
$24, but it's going to be on sale for $45.
Wow.
One of our lights, Dick, just popped.
$45 version of the book, but it's got gold gilding on the pages, and it comes in a very nice blue cloth slip case, and it's got my signature in gold on the cover.
So that's coming up.
Anyway, thank you so much, folks.
I've got mixed emotions.
I mean, I'm thrilled that the book is so well received.
But given the things going on in our country, we're going to be talking about in this show and coming shows, we're winning.
Conservatism is finally winning.
Liberals are beginning to say that we need to do the things that we all know need to be done.
And I think the more people who are informed and able to go out and articulate what you think, liberals can't do that.
They get stuck after about five seconds and then they start calling you names.
But when you can actually explain why you feel what you feel, then you'll have their respect and you'll be persuasive.
So again, thank you from the bottom of my rather sizable and expansive heart.
When we come back, we've got a funny little Series of clips here on crime, what to do about crime, the liberal version of the solution, and finally somebody making some sense on it at the end.
It's a great segment.
Don't go away, and be back right after this for us.

As you know, there is a perception and generally correct one by most people in this country that we're losing the handle on violence.
A brick, as you now know, is not a deadly weapon, especially when you aim it at somebody's head.
And a number of people are very much concerned about this, and they wonder, well, what's the cause?
Why all this violence?
Of course, people like to say, well, it's too many guns.
We just have too many guns.
Let me give you a little hint.
If we enacted immediate gun control, if we banned the sale of every gun from this day forward, we would still have, anybody knows how many guns in the United States.
Anybody got a number?
200 million is right.
We absolutely have some radio listeners here who knew that.
200 million.
Now, I guarantee you, with 200 million guns, immediate gun control banning everything is not going to solve the problem.
You still have the problem of people using those guns, and it is, I think, illustrative of the point that the gun and the presence of the gun is not the problem.
But still, the debate rages.
We want to show you some varying views on this from some of the leading opinion makers in our country, beginning with this new Surgeon General, Jocelyn Elders.
Now, before I want you to note the precise speaking pattern of Ms. Elders, I want you to know the clarity of thought.
Please take your time here and recognize the precision with which she enunciates her views.
Watch.
What causes violence?
And what can we do to prevent it?
Although many factors contribute to this epidemic, at its root is poverty.
What?
What did she say?
At its rut?
At its cause of violence, every towel, a pound and pocket.
Obviously, poverty doesn't cause violence.
Anybody who's lived through the Great Depression will tell you that the poverty then was far worse than any poverty anybody in this country knows today, and there weren't any crime waves then.
The value base was much firmer then.
Traditional values had not yet been assaulted and disintegrated.
And the idea that poverty causes, it's a notion that has taken hold in too many places, but isn't true.
Now, here's the former mayor of Dayton, Ohio.
This guy lost, and you'll see why here in this minute.
He lost his re-election bid on Tuesday.
His name is Clay Dixon.
Now, watch this.
It's people like me that's getting killed, is getting hooked on drugs, but it's people like you that's bringing the drugs into the country that we're not arresting them.
It's very unfortunate that the blacks are killing blacks.
We have to stop it.
But all of that has something to do with institutionalized racism.
Oh, please give it a rest.
Give me a break.
Look, this argument has been raging.
He's talking to a white reporter.
He says that you white people are killing us black people with drugs.
Now, this is real simple.
Mr. Dixon, you are making your own people out to be the biggest bunch of dolts in the world, and you don't even know it.
You're sitting there and saying that there's a conspiracy by whites to get blacks off the face of the earth.
I mean, that's what they think this is, is a genocide, and we're doing it with drugs.
Well, you know, there's a real easy way to foil this evil conspiracy, Mr. Dixon, and that's just don't take the drugs.
I mean, you can't, you can't, if you want to say that it's white people's responsibility, you're going to have to show or prove that white people are getting into black people's homes while they're asleep and shooting them up with drugs or pouring cocaine in their noses.
It's just not true.
It's just not true.
It really isn't.
Now, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, he's a great senator from our home state here in New York, and he has come up with an idea on how...
No, no, no.
Oh, this gets better as we go.
Here, here, watch, watch this, watch this.
A revenue source which we haven't yet discussed, which is a tax on ammunition.
If you, sir, were to look at evening television and ask, you know, what is the most urgent health emergency in our country, he would think it was bullet wounds and small and handguns, small caliber.
Well, handgun wounds.
Obviously, I think the major problem is not guns.
It's alcoholism.
Hey, hey, hey, look, wait, no, wait a minute.
Consumption.
I'm telling you, I'm telling you, illegitimacy and the consumption of alcohol is the biggest problem.
But he wants tax bullets.
Tax bullets.
What does the most brilliant woman in America, the smartest woman who's ever lived, what does she think of the idea?
I'm all for that.
I just don't know what else we're going to do to try to figure out how to get some handle on this violence.
So I'll tell you what, if you are a chain-smoking sniper, this country is dummy for you.
They're coming after you, folks.
Now, one more thing To show that there is hope, there is hope on the horizon, the mayor-elect of Detroit.
We've finally gotten rid of the Coleman-Young regime out there.
Congratulations.
Yes, that's right.
This man's name is Dennis Archer.
Here's what he thinks about the relationship of poverty and the commission of crime.
Is racism alive and well?
Absolutely.
But racism, as is being poor, is no excuse for committing crime.
And he won the election, and all the others are on their way out.

You're watching Rush Limbaugh, the television show.
I have a friend, Tony Snow, who used to write speeches for President Bush.
He's now a syndicated columnist for the Gannett News Service and specifically the Detroit News.
He's got a brilliant piece out today on what really is going on in the Senate regarding Bob Packwood.
It has nothing to do really with sexual harassment.
It has to do with the Senate trying to cover up a little-known fact.
And I have chosen excerpts of this.
I want you to read along with me here because this will make you man.
It'll stun you a little bit.
It says, Even if Bob Packwood treated his office as a personal tailhook convention, there's no way anybody can bring him to justice.
The civil rights laws that forbid such behavior at every other workplace in America did not apply to Congress during Bob Packwood's naughty period.
Congress did not accept even the most rudimentary provisions of the Civil Rights Act until late in 1991.
When Congress agreed to abide by the Civil Rights Act, though, it carved out a huge exemption.
It put itself, not the courts, in charge of enforcement.
So if somebody on a senator's staff wants to sue a senator, she can't go to court.
She's got to go to the Senate.
That's why the Ethics Committee is dealing with this and not a court of law.
Continue.
As a result, staff members victimized by sexual misconduct cannot refer complaints to the EEOC as employees in regular offices do.
They must embark upon a journey through the wilds of bureaucracy.
Here's the capper, though, and here's really the thing that underscores the real scandal in the Senate.
Even if somebody managed to sue a senator successfully, the offending honorable or member would get off scot-free.
That's because the Senate agreed on the night of October 1, 1992, to hold members harmless for civil rights violations and to send the legal bills to the U.S. Treasury.
They also agreed to forbid victims from recovering punitive damages.
So, I mean, they've exempted themselves from the very law they're trying to throw Packwood out with.
And that's what they don't want you to know.
This is all a big sexual harassment smoke screen, so the Senate will be able to keep you from understanding that they do not have to abide by the laws they have written for the rest of us.
And that is what is at stake for them.
That's why they're asking him to quit.
Robert Byrd, you must quit.
You must leave.
You are defacing the Senate.
Ha ha.
We'll be back after this.
Don't go away.

Nothing can survive a quarter of a million years.
Waking it was their first mistake.
Trying to stop it could be their last.
Put it down!
X-Files, Friday after Briscoe County, Jr.
Today night, Barbara Walters will do a 16-plus minute profile of me on 2020.
And it's, from all I've been able to gather, it's very warm and fuzzy.
And she was not, we did this back in August.
The interview was back in August.
She's got my grandfather, who's now 102, on the show.
I actually spoke to my mother and my brother and a number of other people.
And I think it's going to be pretty fuzzy.
The stuff they're releasing about this for promotion purposes in newspapers is all pretty good.
And they gave us a clip.
They gave us a clip.
And we have decided here to let you see, it's about a minute long of just some of the interview on 2020 on Friday.
We have that ready to roll there, Chip.
Row it.
What about when you say feminists, ugly women who need days?
I never said that.
Here, here.
Well, I'll give it to you.
I once wrote a newspaper column I had, the 35 Undeniable Truths of Life.
Number 24, feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.
One of the things that, Barbara, this is a nobody, you know, I try to explain this.
I don't know how many times.
Why people don't understand it?
It's interesting.
I think I'm the ugly woman.
No, but see, I have been aided and abetted by this continued misrepresentation of what a feminazi is, and by the continued misrepresentation of what my views on women are.
I am perceived as hating women.
Do you love women?
And that's the truth.
You know, you can just see in her face when I read Undeniable Truth Number 24, she's trying not to laugh.
Because she gets it.
I mean, she knows that there's humor in that.
Hey, that's it for this show, but we've got another one before the week's out.
We hope you're here for that.
We'll see you then.
Bye.

That's your hand.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Very nice, very nice.
Thank you.
Oh, that's so nice.
Thank you.
That is so, so nice.
I was at a dinner party the other night and I was asked to give the toast.
And it was to Lady Margaret Thatcher and I did a great toast.
I told you about it earlier in the week.
It's a very inspiring toast.
It was an awesome toast.
It was a toast that would be designed to bring tears to your eyes.
And this particular crowd responded with.
So it's so nice to see this friendly, enthusiastic applause from a wonderful audience consisting of the finest Americans known to exist in our waiting.
I want to introduce you to somebody in the front row here of our show tonight.
Can I see a shot of the front row there, Faz?
Now, that lady, second from the left, is Louise Adams.
Louise, kind of wave there so people know it's you.
Louise was my executive assistant when I was with the Kansas City Royals, and she's here in town with some friends there to see this show and to visit Louise, visit the city.
It's great to see you.
It really is.
And also, we have a former member of the San Francisco 49ers in our audience tonight, Bob Sinclair, who once lost five teeth in one play.
There he is.
Now, Bob, you Bob hates vegetarians, as you can kind of see by looking at him.
And one day on my radio show, we were getting calls from a bunch of wacko vegetarians who want to turn their cats into vegetarians and their dogs into vegetarians.
When's the last time, for example, you saw a dog digging up a Brussels sprout?
I mean, it's just, they just don't do it.
And so Bob had to get his two cents in.
And during the audience briefing, Bob raised his hand and said he was from Santa Rosa.
And I said, I saw something in the news about Santa Rosa, Lee, and I couldn't remember what it was.
And I went back to my office and I found it.
You may not know about this, Bob, and then again, you might, because it just happened.
A secretary found a remote-controlled video camera hidden under her desk at the law firm where she worked in Santa Rosa.
Have you heard about this?
No.
Yes, well, it's true.
And she's filed a sexual harassment claim against her employer.
It's a law firm.
Her name's Jackie Burgo, and she discovered the camera June the 8th.
They've really kept this under wraps for a long time.
She bent down to pick something up.
The camera was in a plywood box fastened to the underside.
There's some lawyer in that firm, a guy named Thomas Jeffrey, admitted putting a camera underneath the desk.
Can you think of this, folks?
So it's there for a long time.
She notices it.
Other women sat at her desk, and there was videotape of all of this.
So this guy finally admitted it.
She filed a sexual harassment claim with the EEOC, something that people who work for the Senate cannot do, for example.
And the name of those law firms is Boyd, Murray, and Wick.
And she says that she was so traumatized that she suffers sleeplessness and back problems.
I wonder how that happened.
Let's see, you've been down.
You have to discover.
This is back problems.
Okay, well, anyway, Bob, that's what's been going on in Santa Rosa while you've been here watching the.
Really, it's great to see you.
I love football, and he played during an era.
Did you both play both ways?
Offense and day?
Yeah, see, that's the days.
There weren't any specialists.
I mean, he went all 60 minutes of the game.
That's how you lose five teeth on one play.
Now, we have, wait a minute, are you thinking I made a joke about both ways?
I'm talking about offense and defense.
See, in the 90s, you talk about going both ways, and it means something entirely different.
And there's somebody snickering over there.
It's an example.
I'm one of the most civil-minded guys.
I don't do double entendre like that.
And that just goes to show that the filth is in the mind of someone who hears something, not who says it.
We've put together a chart here.
We do this on occasionally.
We like to illustrate the beauty of TV.
You can show people things instead of just tell them.
I want to show you a chart.
I've got a series of them.
Here's the first chart.
Can you put that up there, Chet?
Isn't that a nice-looking chart?
That's our economy.
This is the little chart, and that red line there is a very good, happy red line.
Wouldn't you say it looks very solid?
And President Clinton loves that line because it represents economic growth in the third quarter, 1993, and it's almost up to 3%.
And President Clinton says that that line shows that his economy and his plans are doing really, really good.
And to illustrate it further, let's show you some more lines.
Now, those two lines, yeah, well, it's working, those two lines show the first quarter at just under 1% growth.
Then the middle line there is a second quarter at just under about 2% growth.
And then the third line says, up, up, up.
And it's all because of Slick Willie, all because of our president.
Now, let's show you the lines.
Remember, now, everybody's taking all credit.
Let's show you the lines that President Bush left him.
Those lines on the left, that is 1992, ladies and gentlemen.
And look at that fourth quarter, almost 6% growth.
And it's those blue lines on the left that Bill Clinton and Al Gore said were the worst economy in the last 50 years.
And then you look at President Clinton's growth.
The question is, can those blue lines representing George Bush's recovery sustain the economic downpo that the new tax increases that have yet to go into effect and they'll hit in January are going to and the health care scheme and everything else or will Clintonomics overcome that recovery?
This is just a way because everybody's talking about how great the economy is.
I don't know if you've seen the stories.
You've surprised seen the stock market plummeting and the bond market going up and there's some inflation and there isn't.
There isn't any inflation.
Everybody's going, oh my gosh, it's coming back.
It's really going great.
We've got economic growth and people are buying houses and so forth.
Can I see the chart?
Just one more time.
Just keep in mind, you fired a president because of those blue lines.
You fired a president because the economy is, and this is what we've had under this administration.
Just wanted to point it out.
And there's also a little funny thing here that's been going on in New York City.
Can I show you a poster?
Can we put that up?
This poster greeted voters on Election Day here in New York City.
I will read this poster to you because I know that some of you out there will have trouble reading that.
Reelect Mayor David N. Dinkins.
Important voter concerns.
We have learned that federal authorities and immigration officials will be at all election sites on Tuesday, November 2nd.
Federal authorities have identified thousands of voters registered more than once.
Any person identified as attempting to vote more than once will face prosecution and cancellation of all government assistance.
Immigration officials will be at locations to arrest and deport undocumented illegal voters.
We ask that all our voters be mindful of this recent information.
Re-elect Payer Dinkins.
Well, guess.
See, what you don't know is that there's all kinds of accusations of fraud flying around in the New York mayor's race.
And one of the accusations was that a bunch of illegals are being registered two and three times and that the dead are being registered and they're going to vote.
And this poster show up.
Now, the first reaction people have is that the enemies of Dinkins put this up.
It's natural to assume that somebody who doesn't want Dinkins are going to put this up because this is going to keep illegal voters away.
They look at this and say it worked.
And then Dinkins comes out the next day and Charles, hey, I reject.
That's an insult to assume.
But if it keeps illegal voters away, is it not a good tactic?
But then you say, wait, wait just a second.
How many illegal immigrants can read English?
So, could this have been put up by General Dinkins' staff as a means of covering a loss?
They didn't know they're going to lose, but they held out the option.
If they lose, they can say, hey, voter fraud, see, look at those posters that were around there.
Just put it up as a little bit of an excuse or something.
It's so complicated, the politics of this city.
But it's fun, too.
It's absolutely fun.
I mean, to have posters like this just makes it worth living here.
Well, it does.
I mean, it literally does.
To see both sides deny any involvement with it.
Let me show you a picture.
This is my seven-month-old niece, Kristen Suzanne Limbaugh.
And there she is already getting started reading my book, which, of course, as you may know, just recently came out.
You may not know that my book just came out.
Two million copies.
I know, you know, we brought her into New York to get some photos taken, and Kimberly Butler took that shot.
Kimberly is here tonight, making sure we use the picture right.
And look at that.
A book is almost bigger than she is, but she's happy.
I went to dinner with her.
I finally had a date Saturday night.
She agreed to go to dinner with me, little girl.
And anyway, she's taking after me.
You should see her sitting at dinner.
We're in a big steakhouse, and she's just pounding the table, you know, like this smiling, you know, just like I do.
All right, when we come back, we're going to have a Jocelyn Elders Film Fest.
Oh, wait until we see it.

i think this is the rush limbaugh show i'm I'm not sure.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
All right, I promise you, Jocelyn Elders Film Fest.
We had so much fun watching her speak on our previous show that we decided to just give you a whole dose.
She's up testifying on Capitol Hill and appearing on television about crime, health care, violence, and all of these because she thinks they're linked.
I want you to, here is Mrs. Elders talking about the cost to society of violence and the use of guns and so forth.
Follow the numbers here very carefully.
We just look at handgun violence.
The medical cost is over $3 billion.
And if we look at the total medical cost for all of violence, we're up to $16 billion.
I think yesterday my testimony was $13, but that was for 1989.
We are at $16 billion now for the medical cost.
And if we look at the lost life, the lost time from work, we're really up to about $60 billion.
Boy, the numbers just add up in this administration.
I wonder what the cost to society is burning down your neighborhood, like out in south central Los Angeles, Mrs. Elders.
I mean, guns and all this.
But she's got a way to solve a problem.
She doesn't just come up there and announce how much all this is going to cost.
And I would like to see somebody cite the source of these numbers.
I mean, these people come up and just throw these numbers all around.
And I mean, how do you compute the cost to society of $60 billion because people use guns and so forth?
I mean, I could say so many things that would appear to be insensitive, and so I won't say them.
But, boy, I'd love to, too.
But I won't, I'll tell you, it's, oh, how can I say it?
I want to say it.
How can I say it with dignity and class?
I can't.
Even though it's, well, never mind.
Here, here, watch her now begin to go down that road of solving this terrible problem.
Here's some of her solutions.
We've got to have comprehensive health education programs in our schools from kindergarten through 12th grade with a violence curriculum, a part of that.
Drugs, alcohol, violence, sex, teen pregnancy.
You know, it's not one problem.
It's all of these problems, and we've got to deal with them as if they are a single problem.
A violence curriculum.
That means, generally, you're going to teach it.
You know, when you...
Sex education, you teach sex.
When you have a sex because you want some violence.
Can you imagine wasting time teaching about violence?
In fact, you know, there are some schools in California.
I don't know if it's Santa Rosa, but I think it's down in the Bay Area somewhere.
Actually, no key, you know what they start?
Every school, this is one of the deadliest school districts in the country.
It really is.
They actually rehearse ducking underneath your desk at the sound of gunshots in this school.
I mean, that's what a violence curriculum is.
And she's lists all these problems.
There's some very brilliant sociologists, among them Charles Murray, who wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal earlier this week, and he says that all of these problems, this social decay, in his opinion, can be traced to illegitimacy.
It goes back 30 years, 1960, illegitimacy for the whole country was 5%.
Today, it's close to 30%, almost six times it has increased.
And in certain neighborhoods, it's up to 80%.
And he says, when you have these young boys being raised without fathers with no control on the natural aggression of masculinity and so forth, he says, all of this, you've got no stigma to marriage anymore or to illegitimacy.
I mentioned this last night.
He says it used to be when a young girl got pregnant and teenager, they sent her off to Antioch in Kansas for six months and either put the baby up for adoption or whatever, but it was something you hid your face.
You were embarrassed about it.
And then they got the father, old Zeke, they got a shotgun named Anne.
Say, Zeke, you're going to head down that aisle.
You're going to say, I do, or we're going to have some serious talks here.
But there still was, you know, legitimacy was something people very much are concerned about.
It's not anymore.
And there are people who think that all the problems that she's tracing here really can be traced to that.
And there's probably some sense to that.
She also now, and I warned you about this.
I told you when this administration introduced health care, you watch what all they sweep under that healthcare umbrella.
Here is Miss Elders weighing in on that.
We ordinarily think of violence as a crime.
Oh, really?
But it's also a public health problem because it kills and injures so many of our people.
No kidding.
Violence is a crime.
And it injures people.
Can you?
I wonder how many Americans didn't know this until this woman was named Attorney General.
We've got even more for you to see from Miss Elders.
We'll do it after this break, so don't go away.

Let's uh...
Let's go back to Jocelyn Elders, shall we, in what is proving to be one of the most educational shows we've ever done here.
This woman has so much to offer intellectually.
Now, you know this administration wants to get hold of every facet of life.
And they think that you are incapable of facing the obstacles in life.
They think you're incapable of overcoming those obstacles.
They think you're not really capable of making the proper judgments in life.
And so they really think that you need total cradle-to-grave whoop-to-the-tomb care.
And here to prove it is Mrs. Elders talking about what else, in addition to educating our children, we need to do something else.
Watch.
We must educate our parents, beginning even with prenatal classes.
We must teach them how to teach their children.
We must offer and support early childhood education classes.
We know the children who are started early and have a good start are far less likely to be in our prison system or to fall behind in school.
So we must support programs like Head Start.
But we are supporting Head Start.
We support that more than any other program.
We have to get started.
Oh.
We have to educate our parents to educate our children.
And she thinks she's going to teach you, folks.
I mean, you can't, you don't know how to raise your family.
They're going to do it for you.
One more time.
Let's go to the rut cause of all this.
What causes violence?
And what can we do to prevent it?
Although many factors contribute to this epidemic, at its root is poverty.
Oh, we are in trouble.
I mean, this woman is the Ukraine.

Is this the shape of things to come?
Or perhaps this?

Newsflash: Rudy Giuliani is ordering the streets of New York City cleared of beggars and tramps.
The New York City mayor-elect has issued a decree giving police the authority to detain homeless people for up to 10 days.
They're to be held in what the decree calls social rehabilitation centers that have yet to be established.
We're going to put them someplace that doesn't exist.
The growing number of homeless people is embarrassing the government as it reforms the communist system.
Wait a minute, I have been tricked.
This is not Rudy Giuliani.
Somebody has crossed out the name Boris Yeltsin on here and written in Rudy.
Somebody tricked me, Dick.
They brought me out a news flash.
This is, I can see it now.
Boris Yeltsin is ordering the streets of Russia cleared of beggars and tramps.
Well, good.
Somebody should.
It's about time.
Anyway, have a great day and great couple of days.
We'll see you next time.

Hello, my name is Chad Murdoch.
I've been producing and directing television and film for over 10 years now, and it's kind of unusual for me to find myself on this side of the camera.
But I'm here today because of this little guy, my son Michael.
It was about a year ago that Michael showed some signs of wanting to learn to read.
And at that time, I heard these ads on the radio for a reading program called Hooked on Phonics.
I was especially curious because I learned to read phonetically.
I was always a very good reader, and I wanted the best for my son.
So I ordered the Hooked on Phonics program for Michael.
And in no time, he started reading almost everything he could get his hands on.
Thanks, Pal.
I was so impressed that I went to Hooked on Phonics to tell them my story.
Because I felt that any reading program that taught my son as quickly and as simply as Hooked on Phonics is just too good not to share.
And when I did, I found out that Michael's success wasn't unusual.
There were many, many stories just like his.
So many, in fact, that I convinced the Hooked on Phonics people to do this television show.
So we took our camera crews all across America, from California to New York, from Oregon to Texas, so that we could show you a few of the people, both kids and adults, who learned to read with Hooked on Phonics.
So if you have a youngster beginning to read, an older student who may need some reading help, or if there's anyone in your life who has trouble reading, you should really take the next few minutes and watch these stories.
Because Hooked on Phonics just might be the answer to your reading problems.
We went to a school in South Bronx, New York to meet a remarkable second grade class and their teacher, Sister Nancy McNamara.
I had heard the ads for Hooked on Phonics for years.
And the idea that it was somehow connected with music or tied in with the music, I said, well, maybe something would work.
Because nothing short of American was going to work with these kids that I had.
This year, I got first 17 students.
The classlet size was later doubled to 32 students, all non-readers.
I had started using the Phonics around mid-October and had begun to see pretty phenomenal results in a few weeks.
The level of self-confidence is just incredible.
I mean, they want to read.
They see the hooked on Phonics tapes.
They sing along with the music.
Kids trip to the Phonics program like what's to order.
They had materials to listen to, materials to look at, materials to manipulate, and materials that they really got excited about.
And they began to see progress in their own lives that they had never seen before.
They began to get a sense of, I guess, self-value, self-worth.
They were getting someplace.
So there was success, you know, right away.
Parents' night is usually a disaster.
I had 100% of the parents come to see me.
100% of the parents Monday night, and some came back on Tuesday.
They were fascinated with this program.
The Hooked on Phonics program is the only program that has the visual and auditory input simultaneously.
It's a logical, sequential program, and it works.
I will recommend Hooked on Phonics for any HDL, any nationality, anybody.
Our next story comes from Connecticut, where Richard Martinick, for more than 50 years of his life, did not know how to read, kept it a secret, and thought he would never be able to read.
Then he ordered Hooked on Phonics.
Every morning of my life, I would look in the mirror shaving.
And probably one of the first thoughts that ever crossed my mind in the morning was, am I going to get caught today?
Is somebody going to find out?
In turning 50, my wife, the guy, the surprise party for me.
All my friends, relatives came from, oh, 100 miles away.
They sat me down in a nice chair in the backyard and card table in front of me, covered with reading cards.
I showed a little bit of emotion, and my daughter promptly took over the reading of those greeting cards for me.
Because I didn't know what to do.
I couldn't possibly stand up in front of all those people and tell them, you know, I've been lying to you.
I can't read.
I just couldn't do that.
I never really realized what an impact that had on his life.
One day I went down the stairs because he would be in the basement, and he said to me, Mona, this is the key.
Do you know how many years I have been waiting for this?
It's finally here.
You know, this product, Hooked on Phonics, came along, and it's a godsend.
You can make every mistake in the world.
You can make as many mistakes as necessary because it's just between you and the tape recorder.
That's the success of Hooked on Phonics, and that's what makes it work.
It takes all that shame, fear, embarrassment, and all that tension out of your life.
The tension that involved when you're sitting with your wife, the woman that you love, and saying, help me, I'm stupid.
So I didn't know that this man, until he learned to read through Hooked on Phonics, that this man was really in agony every day of his life.
Hooked on Phonics has made the greatest difference in my life.
It's turned it around 100%.
I feel better about myself.
I can read.
But reading There's only half of it.
What it's done for me emotionally, it's just taken the burden off my back.
It's just made life so much easier to cope with because I feel good about myself.
And I contribute that to Hooked on Phonics.
I get kind of choked up with this because I know the hurt and what he went through.
And because I didn't understand, he suffered by himself.
And if I knew now all that, I'd say if I had to mortgage the house to buy that product to make this man what he is today, I would.
Okay.
Just outside of Detroit, Ron and Glenna live with their son, Blake.
At age four and a half, Blake was ready to start learning to read.
One of the things that impressed me the most about Blake's reading and his development in reading was the fact that when he was in kindergarten, he tested at a fifth grade reading level.
But what really amazed us, and we were told by the teachers that tested him, that he actually comprehended on a fifth grade level, which makes all the difference in the world.
And as a result of that, they moved him directly from kindergarten straight into second grade at six years old.
And he's done well.
He's thrived in the second grade.
He can be found in Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya.
But right now he has the best church.
I can remember one of the first little school productions he had, and Glenna was videotaping him.
And when we got it home, and I was in the background telling Blake to slow down because he was reading too fast.
We're not biased, but I'm very proud of him.
Yeah, we're extremely proud of him.
And I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but sometimes I can't help it.
I have to let him know what's going on, you know, because this is too good not to share.
And believe me, people who know us know about Hooked on Phonics.
Now I'd like to introduce Dr. Don Parker, who has over 40 years' experience in reading research, enlisted in Who's Who in America.
In addition to many achievements in the fields of psychology and education, Dr. Parker is author of the SRA Reading Laboratory, which has been used by over 60 million students in 62 countries around the world.
I spent six hours over a period of two days, fine-toothed combing, going through all emotions of learning, just like the program said.
And I tell you, I was amazed that my responses to my ear, my eye, my hand movement of the cards, total body feeling of the rhythm and the music, the clear spoken voices on the tapes, it's a program that had to work.
As author of the SRA Reading Laboratories over the past 40 years, which has now been used by over 61 million in 62 countries around the world, in all cultures, I can say that Hooked on Phonics is a program I would recommend unconditionally for a four-year-old, a 44-year-old,
or more in any culture around the world seeking to learn to read.
Dr. Parker feels that Hooked on Phonics is the missing link in helping most students learn to read.
Carol's son Robert struggled through the first and second grade, so she ordered Hooked on Phonics, and his struggles have turned to success.
His report card this semester was the best that he's ever had.
It was almost all straight A's.
And that's exciting.
You know, going from C's, sometimes D's, and seeing mostly A's in B's and A's in reading, you know, A minus in math.
The spelling tests that he would have before, he would maybe get Cs on.
But after using the phonics course, he gets A's, and this is the truth, on every single spelling test.
When you have a program such as this that you can take advantage of every single day, seven days a week, it's like you have your own in-home tutor.
That's probably the most important thing about the Hooked on Phonics program is knowing that it really turned my son's whole school situation, his whole school life around.
Ironically, Fred Carl worked for 20 years binding books that he couldn't read.
Finally, with the help of Hooked on Phonics and his tutor, Sissy Parity, Fred is learning to read.
When I first got him as a student, he was classified as a first grade reader, first one, two, which is first grade, second half of the year.
And he recently has been retested and he's up to eighth grade.
Hooked on phonics is the best thing I've found.
If a child can't read, he can't go any further in school than any of his subjects.
None of them.
Can't do math because he can't read a problem.
He can't do history because he can't read.
He can't do science.
He can't do experiments because he can't follow directions.
What's he going to do?
He has to learn how to read.
If you can't read, you can't go anywhere.
Nowhere.
Nowhere.
I can't see any reason why anybody would have any problem learning how to read or write with Hooked on Phonics.
People that know how to read don't understand.
The people who don't know how to read are in a world all their own, a closed world, a world with no light, nowhere to go.
They're just in the dark forever.
It's like being blind almost.
You can see, but you don't know where you're going.
He's gone along for 48 years.
He couldn't read anything when he got here.
Barely anything.
It's worth it all.
Worth the wait and go home.
If I had ever made a decision, it affected my life more.
I was getting help.
It's unbelievable, Lee's, how much he's progressed in just, I would say, the last four months.
Like Fred said, what he's learned now, he wouldn't be able to replace for a million dollars.
Try it.
They give you a 30-day trial.
I know they'll like it.
It's going to work.
It absolutely will work.
Hi, I'm Randy Thomas, and you've probably heard me on the radio talking about Hooked on Phonics.
You know, call 1-800-A-B-C-D-E-F-G.
Well, that's me.
And I'm really proud to be involved with this program because it's helped so many people learn to read.
In fact, thousands of schools and almost half a million people have ordered Hooked on Phonics.
What is Hooked on Phonics?
It's a program that helps teach children and adults how to read by teaching the sounds of the letters in the alphabet.
All the lessons are set to music, and that makes learning to read simple and fun.
You can work at your own pace, in your home, and in complete privacy.
It's like having your own private tutor for a fraction of the cost.
