Time Text
Hiya, folks, and welcome back to the fastest three hours in media, Rush Limbo.
I say it, you believe it.
Don't doubt me.
Another hour of broadcast excellence performed and executed by me.
A highly trained broadcast specialist, a warning.
Don't try this at home.
Phone number 800 28282 and email address rush at EIB net.com.
In the end, backers of a cigarette tax increase for children's health could not assuage voters' worries about monkeying with the state constitution.
An issue stoked by a record-shattering $12 million TV blitz financed by the tobacco industry.
The result was a shellacking.
We're talking Oregon here.
The result was a shellacking of measure 50.
Voters trounced it by 60 to 40% in yesterday's special election.
It was a stinging setback for backers of the effort to extend health care to 100,000 uninsured Oregonians by raising taxes on cigarettes.
The governor, Ted Kulagoski, a leading backer of the plan, said he still thinks most Oregonians support an expansion of children's health care, but were heavily influenced by the advertising.
What happened was tobacco industry bought the election.
He said.
The uh tobacco industry's ad campaign focused on what it called the ill-advised move of enshrining the tobacco tax in Oregon's Constitution.
While other ads questioned whether all the money would go to provide children's health care.
You know, you people in other states, and I want to applaud you people in Oregon.
You've done the right thing.
You might have not done it for the right reason.
I don't know.
The right reason is you're going to continue to tax tobacco, a product whose use is limited more and more every day.
New York Times had a story the other day, ahead of a stack didn't have a chance to get to it.
They're really moving fast in certain parts of the city on stopping smoking in homes.
Everybody thought when they first mentioned this.
Come on, rush.
I mean, they can't do that.
They're not going to go that far.
That's what you said when I warned you back in 1995 when a Sierra Club came out and started targeting SUVs.
Come on, Rush, they cannot be able to pull that off.
You're just being a little alarmist here.
Nope.
I may be alarmist, but it's true.
Don't doubt me.
They're not going to be able to raise the money, these states and the federal government that keep raising these cigarette taxes.
They're not going to be able to raise the money down the road because it's going to become too expensive to buy, and you can't smoke them anywhere anymore.
It's getting to the point where you're really not going to be without banning it.
So the people of Oregon, I don't know if that was in their minds when they voted or not, or whether it was what the governor says here, just the uh ad campaign.
I think trying to enshrine this tax increase in the Constitution, that was probably an overreach.
Uh, and and uh applaud the people of Oregon for uh for seeing that and turning it down.
There were other elections yesterday in Utah.
Voters killed the nation's first statewide screw voucher program that promised tax dollars for private tuition, no matter how much a family earned or whether kids were in bad schools.
In another of the most closely watched questions on state ballots Tuesday, New Jersey voters rejected the state's plan to borrow 450 million dollars over ten years to finance stem cell research.
Uh this is this is uh amazing.
People in New Jersey turned down essentially a tax increase.
Uh what they're not telling you here is this is uh embryonic stem cell.
Uh the Utah measure, we had a caller that called about this not long ago, was the first voucher election in the country since 2000, uh, when voters in Michigan and California rejected efforts to subsidize private screws.
There have been ten state referendums on various voucher programs in 72, all of them unsuccessful, uh, according to the National School Boards Association.
This is an issue and it's gonna take a lot of work because the public school system is so entrenched.
Uh, you know, what one of the stars on the flag may as well be for the public school system.
That's how people look at it.
Um it's just it's as it's as much a part of America's apple pie and uh and moms and razor blades and candy on Halloween.
So it just it's gonna take a lot of work to get this voucher stuff done.
In Michigan, Michigan voters are soon going to decide whether an activity scene belongs on public property.
And it's gonna be real interesting to see what happens here.
Usually uh these things lose, uh, which is why liberals have to take things to court instead of having votes.
Uh does baby Jesus have a place on public property?
That's what voters in Berkeley, Michigan were deciding Tuesday as they went to the polls to consider a measure.
Uh well, this is yesterday's stores.
I'm not sure if we know what the outcome of this was.
Uh but this is just another and a long line of tax, long line of attacks on the traditions and institutions that um have been and Christmas is a national holiday to boot.
Now, all of this might sound like bad news.
And sometimes there is joy in bad news.
What are you shaking your head in there about?
What is none of this sounds like bad news to you?
The voucher thing.
Well, the ta uh uh you mean the voucher program with the tax increase was was was refused.
I don't I Wait a minute, let me check that.
Let me check tax.
Yeah, it would have been a tax increase.
That is a positive sign of it.
That's that's uh good eye, Mr. Snerdley, even I missed that one.
So there is joy in bad news.
Uh if you know how to spot it, if you know how to look for it.
Nothing, I mean nothing, folks, gets our country, our spirit, our ingenuity jump started like issues, real issues, not not talking point issues, not the kind of blubber that is coming out of the mouths of Democrat presidential candidates.
So oil knocking at $100 a barrel, it didn't get there today.
The crude markets closed, but it got close.
Well, and of course, we've got the drive-bys.
They're now fanning out and positioning themselves at gasoline stations next to the pumps, walking up to drivers with the microphones and camera, and begging them to explain how suffering it is, how terrible it is, and how poor they are because these prices have gone up.
But the higher price is what makes us and takes us closer to finally realizing we are going to have to produce more energy.
We're gonna have to drill for our own oil.
We are going to have to have more refineries.
We are going to have to build nuclear at some point.
The higher the prices of these things go, and when the price starts affecting supply, right now there's not a shortage of gasoline.
The amazing, there's no shortage of gas, there's really no shortage of oil.
A lot of the oil price is sp is the speculation market, the commodities market.
But nevertheless, as the price goes higher, it takes us closer to quote unquote alternatives.
And when we hear news about the Chicoms drilling for oil with the Cubans in the Gulf of Mexico and Mexico finding the biggest field that they've got, also in the uh in the Western Gulf of Mexico, and we can't drill an N-war.
We can't drill into Gulf ourselves.
At some point, something has to give, and the higher price leads us that where.
Now, the subprime market, uh, the subprime problem, the mortgage problem, the credit crunch, roiling the markets.
Well, uh, let's look into Congress, the Congress that started the problem by demanding that lenders make riskier loans.
You know what the root of the problem is?
Root of the problem is a bunch of liberals in Congress and probably some Republicans joined them trying to go out and buy votes with people that had no business being qualified for a loan, being told by the lenders being told, go ahead and qualify those people.
We want everybody to experience the American dream.
And so people started borrowing money that they couldn't afford, and they got these adjustable rate mortgages, and guess what?
The adjustable rate mortgage is adjusting upwards.
And peace hardest hit, of course, once again, uh their guardian angels in Washington, putting them in the sewer.
On the promise of we'll make these evil lenders that have been redlining you, we'll make them give you the money.
The dirty little secret is, folks, and I don't want to I don't want to burst anybody's bubble here, but let's say you have a $500,000 mortgage in your house, and let's say that you use the subprime market, well, not five hundred thousand.
Let's say you didn't put any down.
Let's say you found a way, and there are ways to do this, to get a mortgage in a house without any money down.
Do you know how much equity you've got in it?
Silch.
There are ways to do it.
You mean there there aren't ways to do it now?
There were ways.
It can be done.
As a powerful, influential member of the media, I it's done.
People are playing games of this all over the place.
And I'm not talking about FHA.
But even okay, you don't like that example, $500,000 mortgage, $500,000 house.
Let's say you put $20,000 down just for the sake of it.
Do you know that you don't have any equity in that house until you sell it?
You don't own it until you've paid it off.
One of the big myths about homeownership, oh no, own my no, you don't.
The person that went you the money owns it until you pay it off.
And you go to sell it, and it uh you can you bring in a higher price that uh than what you bought it for.
Yes, you get a profit, but what are you gonna do?
You got it, you gotta flip it.
If you sell your house, you gotta live in something else, and chances are you're gonna buy a more expensive one, you're gonna get another mortgage.
Uh so the idea, you know, you don't own anything that you're paying for.
Uh you own it when you have finished paying for it.
The people that loaned you the money own it.
Uh, and so it it's not a big deal, and I don't want to burst anybody's bubble here, but I don't think this is taught in Econ 101.
And I don't think that most of these people in the subprime market uh have the slightest idea uh what they were getting into here.
But nevertheless, this gives us an opportunity to look at the people who actually came up with this plan, demanded that these lenders make these loans, and that's our good old Congress.
Now, the Republicans lost the Virginia State House, and they lost the governor's seat in Kentucky.
Well, that's not good.
A lot of people are unhappy about it, but it's it it does have it does have a potential uh positive aspect to it is, and that is as Republicans who are less than conservative and who are less than defined as what they want this country to be, who are you got Republicans who are more and more liberal or trying to sound more and more liberal, uh, are gonna keep losing.
Uh it's gonna finally be figured out by Republican candidates that they're gonna have to develop backbones that get to shape up and stand for better, smaller government.
That's what win elections.
Now I know in Kentucky the key issue was uh was corruption.
Uh uh and the Republicans have a problem with this.
Sometimes, like in in in uh in the case of uh Congress and Jefferson, uh, Democrat Louisiana was still no big deal.
Well, you know, he came, it was a sharecropper's son.
He had all these economic problems.
Look at where he's risen to.
I mean, we can't hold him to the same standards.
Look at where he came from.
Plus he's a minority, blah, blah, blah.
But uh the corruption issue, that's a tough one.
In the Democrat Party, there's no such thing as corruption because they have no standards that they try to live by.
So corruption is something you can't stick to them.
Dennis Kucinich wants to impeach Cheney.
Now, that that this is fabulous because he's a presidential candidate, the darling of the anti-war left in his own party giving him the leprosy treatment today because they're embarrassed, he's embarrassing the hell out of them.
The Iraq war going our way.
Good news.
Good news, Pelosi, Speaker of the House, good news, Dingy Harry still running the Senate.
Good news, Chuck Schumer's in the tall grass after the Moo Casey vote.
We got Ted Kennedy.
You talk about great news, Ted Kennedy detailing the agony of drowning from the floor of the Senate.
You can't tell me it's not good news.
Good news, the Clinton machine is falling apart for now.
Over this debate muff that she made, and they still haven't been able to make this go away.
So here's positive news out there, folks.
If you look at it in the right way, brief time out, come back, your phone calls are next.
Hang on just a second.
I'm just printing something out here because it confirms exactly, exactly my instincts.
We had to call her on Mrs. Clinton.
Hey, here's a pretty sharp move on Mrs. Clinton's part.
They're signaling to these governors that she's gonna let them run the show here when it comes to driver's licenses and and all of that sort of stuff.
She was on the uh the uh situation room yesterday, and that's where we played a bite, you know, where she said, I'm gonna let the governors handle all this.
But later on in the interview, I think the fact that governors are being forced into this position is really unfortunate.
They should not be making immigration policy.
The federal government should be making immigration policy.
And that's what I'm going to do as president again.
And I don't believe that in the context of federal immigration reform that that would be an issue that governors would have to contend with.
Well, hello, political ad in the making.
Can you say politic will one will Obama be able to turn up the heat in his own kitchen to make an ad out of this?
Will a Republican be able to do it?
Don't wait.
It went completely over Candy Crowley's head.
Uh she didn't even notice.
But this is a profound because we that the bite that we had ended, and this came later, uh, and it led our caller to think that Mrs. Clinton starting to hit the blue funk again, I can just feel it.
Mrs. Clinton was signaling these governors that she's gonna let them run the show.
No, no, no.
I knew without having heard this part of the bite, this transcript, I knew that's the Do you think Mrs. Clinton's total objective is to grow the government as large as possible is gonna let governors have a say over immigration policy?
Ain't gonna happen.
Yep.
So I know states have always had control over drivers Stats right.
States have always had control over driver's license policy.
Well, if if they start if they link it to immigration, illegal immigration, he's gonna go in there and say this with this, with this answer, Candy Crowley said, Well, then what about Governor Spitzer?
Because you have said that you're sympathetic to what he's trying to try to do that you understand the problem he's got.
Is the problem that he's got the federal government isn't handling it right?
And you, when you are president again, remember she says this, I'm going to try to do as president again.
She thinks she's already been president.
She thinks she has.
So any of you people calling me saying, well, these records, she may not have really done much.
That's why she doesn't want it's going to show just the opposite.
If we ever figure out what's in those records, we'll never get them.
Uh, by the way, in Michigan, the voters in Berkeley, Michigan did turn down an amendment to the city charter yesterday that would have allowed an attivity scene to return to the lawn outside their city hall.
The charter amendment failed by 55 to 45 percent margin with 4100 votes cast 4136.
Some residents of the town were outraged that the city and a local clergy association cut a deal with the ACLU to move the nativity scene, which had been displayed on public property for about 25 years away from government grounds and onto a patch of grass outside a church.
Uh the display uh since it's uh spent its first Christmas at its new location last year, but those who want to return the nativity scene to public property petitioned to get the measure on the ballot where it was defeated.
Uh essentially by the ACLU.
One other interesting happened in the uh referendum, uh a referendum before New Jersey voters yesterday.
This one I particularly love, because essentially New Jersey has just now they've changed uh constitution uh to allow idiots to uh to vote.
The uh the fourth measure in the referendum that the voters in New Jersey went in yesterday on, asked voters to replace a section of the state constitution written in 1844 that describes people with mental illness as insane and calls people with developmental disabilities idiots.
The description will be replaced with a person who has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting.
Uh so nice to know now that intelligent voting will be taking place in New Jersey, right?
Replace a section of the Constitution that call people insane and idiots with this.
A person who has been adjudicated by that means found not guilty, for those of you in Rio Linda, by a court of competent jurisdiction to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting.
So they can't oh, and other good news.
One thing out of North Carolina, uh there was a big property tax, uh property transfer tax rejected all across the state.
Wake Durham and Orange County officials see a pretty clear message when voters in other counties make it clear they won't accept a new tax to help pay for the costs of growth.
In sixteen counties in North Carolina, including Chatham and Johnston, voters on Tuesday rejected by big margins the idea of taxing property sales to pay for growth.
Sound sound defeat.
The results were lopsided everywhere by a three to one margin in most of these counties.
No to tax increases anywhere.
A man, a living legend, a way of life.
Guiding light.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network.
Here we've got the Hillary soundbite.
You you this just uh put it here out to you in her own words.
I think the fact that governors are being forced into this position is really unfortunate.
They should not be making immigration policy.
The federal government should be making immigration policy.
And that's what I'm going to try to do as president again.
As president again.
Do you hear this?
Now, but but folks, the real point here is Spitzer is not messing with federal immigration policy.
He's dealing with a state issue.
Driver's licenses.
The states are in charge of driver's licenses.
Spitzer wants the illegals to have them.
We all know why.
Learn it, love it, live it.
Don't doubt me.
I say it, you believe it.
The whole point of this, when you go to get a driver's license, you are given a motor voter form.
You get your driver's license, you say, are you legal?
They say on your form, you say yes.
They don't check it.
There's they don't have time to check it.
They assume everybody's going to be honest.
That's what the officials in New York have said.
So you get a photo ID, all you got to do is come up with a social security number, and there are gazillions of fraudulent ones out there that you can buy, and voila, you can register to vote.
Democrat governor makes it possible for you.
You know what this is all about.
And there's no question, but is Mrs. Clinton saying here that she's going to usurp state authority over driver's licenses?
The point of this is not only that, she has made it plain here in this little, what was it, 11 second, 14 second bite?
I'm going to make sure this bite comes back to haunter, too.
I'm showing you Republicans how to do this.
I really am.
I got this whole driver's license thing started.
It's still gone on for a full week.
They can't put it to bed.
Now it's evolved into flip-flopping and the whole business of her financial or her records with the with her husband in the White House when they were co-presidents.
And they can't put this issue away.
This one, another slip-up.
She said in that debate that the biggest mistake we made was not passing the amnesty bill.
She's just now said, well, I'm going to do this.
I'm we're going to make immigration format, and she's giving us an idea of what she views the federal government's role to be, and that is all powerful and all-intrusive.
And the governors, you can go to hell.
He shouldn't be making immigration policy.
One of the reasons governors are getting involved in immigration policy in a way in some of these border states is because the feds won't do anything right.
The Congress can't get this done right because they too are run by Democrats now who want votes, and they're trying to find a way to get these people in here to get them legal.
And they've tried the Wet Dream Act after Amnesty failed.
They've tried all kinds of things under the cloak of darkness.
And they can't get away with it anymore because people find out about it.
Now, not only am I showing Republicans how to do this with Mrs. Clinton, I'm on showing a Democrat candidates how to do it too.
But taxes.
I have demonstrated in the last 20 minutes what one of the cutting issues in the 2008 presidential race is going to be.
Taxes.
Everywhere there was a tax increase related measure on a ballot yesterday in a state it lost.
And it lost big In a liberal state like Oregon, 60 to 40, a proposition to raise the cigarette tax to pay for children's health care.
Down to defeat 6040 cigarette taxes.
Most people don't smoke cigarettes.
It still went down.
North Carolina, they wanted to institute a tax in sixteen counties called a property transfer tax.
This is essentially a tax that you would be charged when you sell your house.
You've already paid property taxes out the wazoo.
You've paid any number of closing all these other taxes that are tacked on to every aspect of your life.
And they want to have a tax on you when you sell your house.
And the purpose of the tax would be to fund growth and development.
Well, hey, let's stifle it in the home market.
So that went down to defeat.
A tax increase that would have provided school vouchers.
In Utah, that one really wasn't close either.
Now, there are a number of different factors there, because I think a lot of people would like the idea of being able to send their kids to private school, but they don't want any tax increases on anything right now.
So what do the Republicans have to do?
We've already got the Democrats on the immigration issue.
It is a winning issue for the Republicans if they'll just have the guts to come out against Amnesty, get serious about border security.
Number two is taxes.
You've got Wrangell who has proposed this massive, incredible tax increase.
One trillion, two point nine trillion, I've heard people say it would be over ten years if nothing was changed about it.
You had a story in the Washington Post yesterday that the uh the the whole business of making the economic changes necessary for global warming will cost people through the roof.
The green agenda is in trouble, and that's an albatross around the Democrats' neck.
What is it when you strip it and reduce it all down?
It's taxes.
And it is clear the people of this country are overtaxed.
And they think they are overtaxed, and they know they're overtaxed, and they're fed up, and they're not going to go for it even on taxes on cigarettes.
When they have a chance to vote on it in state elections, they reject it.
Big time, liberal state like Oregon.
It wasn't long ago, just last year, that I told you that 800 people a day were moving to Florida.
And they were leaving places like Long Island and the Rust Belt, where taxes, property taxes, the income taxes, the tax, you know, on the pothole in front of your house.
Everything's going up, and they simply can't afford to live there anymore.
So they were moving to Florida to the uh Riviera up there, the uh the panhandle, and then a Tampa, Sarasota area.
Guess what's happened, folks?
Those 800 people may still be arriving, but more than those 800 are leaving.
And they are leaving primarily from South Florida, and they're moving to places like North Carolina.
And you know why?
Taxes.
Now we don't have an income tax, state income tax in this state, but property taxes um actually mine went down.
I got my bills the other day.
Uh did your go down too?
No, no, no, that was pretty substantial.
Uh well, maybe two percent.
I'd have to run the percentage, but it went down, snerdly.
I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and complain and moan about it.
No, uh yours went down two hundred bucks.
He's throwing a fit in there.
I know two hundred bucks to you is like a quarter.
Uh but anyway, this is true.
So the point is that there are lessons here for the Republicans to learn and to get sucked in to all of the issues that the drive by's put out there, the Democrats put.
It's not going to be about the Iraq War.
This election is not going to be, I'm telling you.
It's not going to be about America's being embarrassed in the world.
This is going to be about America's future and rebuilding it and grasping hold of what needs to be grabbed hold of to right the ship and turn it in the right way.
And anybody who comes along, these issues are just made to order.
You can link Hillary to Wrangell's tax increase very easily, uh, because she's gonna do it.
They're gonna raise taxes.
They can't wait to even do it.
They can't wait.
They're so eager to do it, they can't even stop talking about it.
They're creating all kinds of ammo, illegal immigration, lots of things out there that are that are um on the ballot.
Plus, we've shown them how to take the Clintons off stride and not end up in Fort Marcy Park yet.
Uh John in Indianapolis, welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey Rush, how are you?
Fine, thank you.
Hey, I wanted to uh pass two things.
First of all, I wanted to tell you, did you hear about the uh huge upset in the mayoral race in Indianapolis where our Republican challenger who only had fifty one thousand dollars in his coffers for the campaign beat the Democratic incumbent uh two term who had several million dollars on the basis of uh fighting crime and of course the overwhelming property tax increases that uh were tried to be put upon the citizens of Indianapolis.
Um they tried to raise mine, I was listening to you, they tried to raise my personal taxes by over ten thousand dollars.
Your personal property tax?
Uh huh.
Well, you made it twenty-four thousand dollars.
Um the elderly came out and droves um and uh kicked this guy to the curb.
And the one thing that the man said that I thought you would appreciate, who won the election, um, was that money does not win elections.
And I know you would probably take issue with that, but in this case it really was true, Rush.
He had no money, and as one of the commentators said uh after the fact uh on the television, they said that he won't be beholding to anyone because he had no significant contributors.
Um his name's Greg Ballard, he just walked in uh saying that this is wrong.
He's a former Marine.
Uh we we like to say that, you know, uh Indianapolis called in the Marine.
Uh the people uh the city were just outraged when the city council and the uh mayor uh tried to push through huge tax property tax increases on us.
And uh we elected a Republican uh for the first time in eight years.
The other thing about this rush is that the town council uh went to uh Republican.
Uh this this was especially uh significant since uh during these tax debates in the spring, our town council decided to lock the public out of the of the room, would not listen.
The Democrat led uh the Democrat led town council would not allow uh the public to come in and voice their opinion on one occasion.
What happened to the sunshine law?
Well, who knows?
I mean, I think things go right out the window when when it's convenient, but I knew you'd get a kick out of this election.
This is a big deal.
What's your new mayor's name?
Greg Ballard.
Greg Ballard is a Marine.
And but by the way, the Indiana Republican Party uh did not necessarily come alongside him.
Uh they didn't do a lot like spending money or anything like that.
He only had television ads in the last few days, which by the way, our our our democratic mayor had gone completely negative in all of his ads, talking about his inexperience, etc.
Um, this man uh has come from nowhere, Rush.
Um, what is Greg Ballard's position on the artificial noise piped through the speakers at the uh RCA dome during Colts games?
All I can think is that if it helps us win against the Patriots the next time, then that's just fine.
Rush, I want you to say hello to my brother who uh just survived brain surgery.
Uh he got cancerous brain surgery out in Portland, Oregon.
He's a listener to your show.
His name's Tom and his wife Sherry.
Would you say hi to him for me?
Yeah, Tom and Sherry, it's great to have you in the audience.
That's great news about him, by the way.
I uh you you uh you have you've shared a whole lot of great news with us in the scope here of a very short phone call.
Yeah, it's a big election.
Now, this this concept about the money.
I know you you're you're saying what you said to me because I've said m you know, I've repeated the Jesse Unruh uh remark that has now become lionized in politics that money is the mother's milk of politics.
Uh and there's no denying that on balance you need it.
Uh in a in a s in a in a city election, you don't need to run all over the state.
You don't need to buy television time all over the state in order to be heard.
Uh local media can do a lot for you.
Um local media rush.
They were last night I watched all three channels, I couldn't sleep, and they were mourning the loss of a Democratic mayor.
They were not celebrating the new guy.
Yeah.
And you could just tell it.
I mean, it was all three of our local people.
They didn't care.
Well, I understand all that, but I here's the way here's the way money did matter in your election.
It always will one way or the other.
The money in this election that you're talking about, the mayoral race in Indianapolis was the taxpayers' money, the people's money.
That's where it was a factor.
So it's always going to be there.
Right.
Whether somebody has it to spend or not.
You I know you're talking about the power of the message.
Right.
Uh, as opposed to not having a lot of money to get it out.
He had fifty-one thousand dollars versus multi-millions on the part of the Democrat.
And that's what I'm trying to get at here, Rush.
I want you to understand that, and I know you do.
I want your listeners to understand the The people, when they get fed up, when they're tired of something, they will go and vote the person out.
Exactly.
Regardless of what the ads are, regardless of what they're told.
This is why, right.
Your call could not be better timed because it came right after my little tutorial for Republican candidates out there, all especially the presidential candidates, uh gearing up here for their primaries in the general.
All right, I got to run here.
I'm way long.
I apologize.
