April 14, 1992

MORNING UPDATE

Today's update is about the educational system - we're being told
that Johnny can't read, can't write, and doesn't know anything
about geography, science, or math. Johnny is obviously an idiot.
However, two recent events give hope that the US educational
system may not be that bad.

First, Mike Tyson's reading level has been evaluated in prison as
being at the 6th grade level. Rush was surprised to learn that it
is so high, and he thinks that the schools should be praised for
achieving this "one hell of a feat and major accomplishment."

The second bit of good news comes from Providence, Rhode Island,
where a teenager was arrested for murder after he wrote an essay
describing the murder in detail. In his essay, the boy wrote "I
shot him and he kept coming." This technique should be used to
fight crime - just have criminals what down, in essay form, what
they've done.

FIRST HOUR

Rush says that his appearance on the Phil Donahue show inspired a
number of comments from listeners who called into the EIB
listener's comment line:

o       The gurgling cod is the first "caller."

o       A woman says that she never watches Donahue, but watched
Rush's appearance on the show; she was reminded as to why she
never watches.

<<about this time, an orchestral version of "America the
Beautiful" starts playing softly in the background>>

o       A man said Donahue misquoted and mislabeled Rush, and
took his comments out of context. But although Donahue was
condescending, the man says Rush "shut him down . . . with
class." He suggests making the Donahue program the basis for the
Rush IV video.

o       "You did great! You cleaned his clock" shouts one man.
"You're number one, baby! Keep it up!"

o       Another man says that if he had never heard of Rush
before, he would have become "an addict for life" because Rush
"made Donahue look like a fool." The man was also glad to have
heard Rush's comments yesterday on Sam Kinnison.

o       A woman tells Rush "give it to those liberals."

o       The gurgling cod gets in the last gurgle.

Rush tells anyone who might be turning in for the first time that
they cannot understand his show in only one day; new listeners
must spend six weeks before they truly start to know what Rush is
doing.

Rush wasn't too surprised that Donahue took him out of context
because "this is what liberals do." He's also not surprised that
he was the one who was called a fascist, even while the liberals
demanded that his show be taken off the air. The simple point,
though, is that Rush has the number one, most listened-to talk
show in the world. EIB will soon have its 500th affiliate, and
the number of stations is still growing; this can't be done by
someone whose show is based solely on hate and division, as
liberals Rush's show is.

Rush plays his quick start guide for new listeners:

"Now the Rush Limbaugh Quick Start Guide for those of you with
extensive talk radio program experience. Those of you new to this
type of program, please invest at least six weeks of intensive
listening before coming to any conclusions.

First, ditto - a short, quick way to say `Rush, we love you.
Rush, you're the greatest. Rush, you're the best talk show host
on Earth.' It saves time and unnecessary repetition.

Next, the Feminist Update, Condom Updates, the Homeless Update,
Animal Rights Updates - devices to point out in a charming and
entertaining way the point of view of the host of this program.

Brain tied behind my back, talent on loan from God, on the
cutting edge of societal evolution - explanation goes beyond the
scope of this Quick Start Guide. Suffice it to say `look beyond
the obvious.' In summation, the host says what he means and means
what he says. This concludes the Quick Start Guide to the Rush
Limbaugh Program."

Update  Sexual Harassment         (Frankie Valley, "My Eyes
Adored You")

Rush recalls how Anita Hill's accusations against Clarence Thomas
were accepted without question by the liberals and feminists in
spite of the fact that there "was absolutely no evidence
whatsoever" for those charges. The only reason for this was that
the liberals wanted to prevent a conservative Justice from being
appointed to the Supreme Court. They excused the absence of
evidence by talking about the "seriousness of the charges" and
how horrible sexual harassment is.

Yet, the liberals, feminists, and media have not commented at all
about Oliver Stone's remarks during a screening of the movie
"Article 99" in March - when a female reporter for US magazine
asked Stone for a comment, he replied "Why are you wearing this?
I can't see your breasts," and he tugged at the reporter's shirt.
Stone then posed for photos and asked the reporter "Did you get
my erection on tape?"

This is sexual harassment, and it is far worse than the
guidelines being used by women employees on Capitol Hill. Yet,
when Oliver Stone harasses a female reporter, nobody complains.
Rush bets that if anyone other than the ultra-liberal Stone
performed these same actions, the "proverbial you-know-what would
hit the fan." This proves that "sexual harassment, as it is being
defined and prosecuted today in America, has politics at its
roots." It's a clear double standard.

*BREAK*

Rush takes credit for the fact that his listeners are starting to
challenge the figures and statistics that leftist activists throw
around. For example, homeless advocate Mitch Snyder told a Lee
High University audience that 45 homeless people die every
minute. Nobody ever challenged this figure, even though it
indicates that 23.6 million homeless die every year.

When the UN reported that 4 million new cases of skin cancer
would occur every year if CFCs were not eliminated by the year
1995, Rush decided to start using this tactic himself. He thus
claimed that 412 new listeners were added to his program every
second and 25,956 new listeners every minute. Rush wondered how
many of his listeners would accept these figures without
question; Kit Carson says that he accepted them because "I work
for you, Rush, and you're always right!"

However, an "avid fan" wrote if these figures are true, Rush will
get over 1 million new listeners per hour, or 23.3 million new
listeners per week. Thus, in just 10 weeks, the entire population
of the US will be listening to Rush's show. If Rush therefore
keeps broadcasting for just 4.09 more years, he will have the
entire world's population listening to his show. The fan
concludes his letter with the exhortation to "go get `em."

Rush is glad to know that "in five years the world will be
listening to this program." This letter, though, shows why Rush
doesn't dare make things up on his show - people will be right
there to call him on it. However, when liberal, scare-mongering
scientists make ridiculous statements about oat bran,
cholesterol, or whatever, their figures are accepted without
question. When these scientists are proved wrong, though, they
claim that their figures "were the best available at the time,"
and thus they did nothing wrong.

*BREAK*

Phone   Martha from Detroit, MI

Martha wonders if Rush "has taken momentary leave of his senses"
by thinking that Phil Donahue would ever be fair during
yesterday's show. Rush says that he was assured that this would
be the case by MultiMedia Syndication, the syndicator for both
Donahue's and Rush's shows. Rush also took a great number of
steps to assure himself that things would go smoothly during the
show. Donahue's producer, Patricia McMillan, even told Rush after
the show that she tried to get Donahue to "tone it a down a bit."

Martha says that if Rush had been some sort of moral deviant,
Donahue would have bent over backwards to make him feel
comfortable. She feels the entire show was stacked and wonders if
Donahue bussed in a liberal audience. Rush says that the audience
composition is not that unusual - people who would want to go to
the Donahue show on their vacation are definitely the liberal
type. Also, the tickets for each show are mailed out months in
advance, and thus people don't know what the show is going to be
about until they actually get to the studio.

Rush says that yesterday's show was not actually out of the
ordinary for a Donahue show; people have been complaining that
the show was unbalanced and out of context, but this is a normal
Donahue show. The only thing out of the ordinary was that the
guest yesterday was not "some kind of deviant, behaviorally
oriented person - it was a substantive, right-minded person."

Rush actually enjoyed the show, and thinks that he met each
challenge head-on and was successful in doing so. Rush
appreciates the support that people like Martha are showing him,
but he reminds everybody that he's a "target that has to be shut
up." Martha thinks Rush handled the audience very well,
especially as to how none of the audience criticism was at all
substantive.

Rush admits that he has resigned himself to the fact that because
he states his opinions with "self-confidence and great bravado"
he will always be attacked on a personal level. When someone is
right and has a good time stating his opinions, he is going to be
looked at as a threat by the dominant, liberal media culture.

Rush also says that he opposes the way the term "fairness" is
overused, and he knows he will never be treated fairly by people
like Donahue. He is not going to deal with this unfairness by
sobbing about it, or by demanding that the world be made fair.
People simply have to deal with the fact that the world is not
fair. The US system of justice is built on fairness, but outside
of the courtroom unfairness is prevalent throughout society.
People have to triumph over this unfairness, and hopefully they
can do so without becoming unfair themselves or compromising
their own integrity.

Rush loves the support he is getting, but he doesn't have any
complaint about Donahue's unfairness. Rush knew Donahue was
unfair when he agreed to appear on the show, and thus it is
Rush's fault if he somehow didn't meet that challenge
successfully. This is the reality of the situation.

"Fairness is dangerously close to equality, which is a dangerous
premise." No two people or things are equal, and to enforce
equality is to deny and destroy individuality. Thus, Rush looks
forward to these types of challenges and the opportunities that
they present. Before yesterday's show, Donahue told Rush that he
would have to "fight for his time," and this is exactly what Rush
did.

For example, the attack on Ronald Reagan yesterday at his speech
to the National Broadcasters Association wasn't fair. He bets,
though, that "there are a lot of guys with dark glasses and wires
coming out of their ears not working today." He wonders how 10
Secret Service agents can let a guy that looks like Springer get
anywhere near Reagan.

You have to deal with unfair things as they occur; you should
strive for fairness, but you can't rely on fairness being there
for you as you live your life day by day.

*BREAK*

Richard Springer, 41 of Arcata, CA, was the man who attacked
Reagan yesterday during a speech; Springer leaped up on stage,
grabbed the glass statue that was given to Reagan and smashed it
on the ground. Springer founded the anti-nuclear group "The 100th
Monkey," and Rush promises to talk someday about the preposterous
premise behind that name; the group tries to promote "good vibes
for world peace." Rush bets that they are Jerry Brown supporters.

<<As I understand it, the theory postulates that if you have two
desert islands, each with a population of monkeys, ideas can be
transmitted from one island to another even though no
communication is possible across the ocean. For example, suppose
the monkeys on one island discover a new way to open coconuts;
once a critical mass of monkeys learns this new technique (the
"100th monkey"), the idea will somehow be transmitted to the
monkeys on the other island. This was the basis of Werner
Erhart's EST Hunger Project scheme, in which world starvation
would be solved simply by having the people of the world become
"aware of the problem." This, of course, involved donating money
to the Project, which would then go towards promoting more
awareness.>>

Arcata is an interesting town as well - last fall Rush was
scheduled to give a Rush to Excellence Tour at the town, and a
number of supporters wanted the town to issue an official welcome
for him as they did for Helen Caldicott, an ultra-liberal anti-
nuclear "scientist." The town council, though, refused to honor a
conservative like Rush.

Rush comments that Caldicott once praised Mikhail Gorbachev as
being "just like Jesus Christ. He comes and offers peace
proposals for the planet and no one listens to him." Rush
comments that Caldicott is a "real brilliant woman, a woman
grounded in reality."

Phone   Bonnie from Mileses, NY

Bonnie thinks Rush did great on Donahue, and she is surprised
that anyone would tell Rush to "fight for your time"; anyone who
listens to Rush's show would know that Rush is not a meek person.
Rush comments that a lot of people are upset probably because
they feel that Donahue did not offer Rush a minimum level of
respect. Bonnie thinks Rush was excellent yesterday, and Rush
admits that he is pleased with his performance and believes that
he controlled the show.

Bonnie, though, has one complaint - although she really likes
Rush's Feminazi Trading Cards commercial, she is uncomfortable
with the "Ms. Carriage" remark. She experienced a miscarriage
herself, and feels that many women are sensitive about this
subject. Rush understands how people can misinterpret the
commercial, especially if it is taken out of context.

*BREAK*

Phone   Andrew from Austin, TX

Andrew agrees with Rush on the subject of equality, and wants
Rush to comment on the bill being considered in Congress that
would bar companies from hiring permanent replacement workers for
striking employees. Rush answers that the US labor/union movement
is in a sharp decline, and today has only 16% of American
workers. However, in places like New York City, it is about 34%,
which explains some of the problems the city is experiencing.

Rush thinks that there is a trend towards getting the government
out of the business of telling businesses what they can and
cannot do in their day-to-day operations. The bill is therefore a
symptom of this trend, and Rush praises Bush for his stand on the
bill.

*BREAK*

SECOND HOUR

Items

o       A murder conviction has been overturned in San Francisco
because a bailiff locked the main doors of a courtroom for an
hour and a half during the trial's closing arguments. The federal
appeals court claimed that John Woodword was denied a
Constitutional right to a public trial because the doors were
locked; Woodword does not have to prove that the mistake hindered
his case in any way.

o       On CSPAN's roundtable at Georgetown University last
night, one of Bush's advisors pointed out that Perot had gotten
two million phone calls, which far exceeds the support that any
other candidate now has at the grass roots level.

Perot has also sent his lawyer to investigate claims by a
Missouri prison inmate about Bush's part in the alleged October
Surprise. Rush wonders why Perot has made this "his highest
priority" since this type of move appears to be nothing more than
Washington politics as usual. Perot's aura has been praised for
eschewing normal politics, and this type of move threatens that
perception. Perot, though, has stated that the prisoner's
allegations that President Bush was flown to secret European
meetings in an SR-71 Blackbird appear to be nothing more than a
"farce"; however, he wants to check them out a bit more
carefully.

Rush points out that if the October Surprise really happened, it
occurred while Jimmy Carter was President; Ronald Reagan and
George Bush were only candidates at that time. How could Bush
have possibly gotten a ride on one of the most secret spy planes
in existence? Rush is surprised that Perot is investigating this
story at all.

o       Jerry Brown was in San Francisco yesterday, and he said
that he will endorse the Democratic presidential nominee if that
nominee agrees to put a $100 limit on campaign contributions.
Rush bets that leaders at the Democratic National headquarters
are going to start throwing out the KoolAid, because their worst
nightmare would be if Brown did endorse their nominee. Having
Brown make such an egotistical and ridiculous ultimatum only
makes Clinton look that much better.

Brown claims that the $100 limit "is not my decision. This is a
movement. This is a cause." Rush wonders why Brown hasn't figured
it out - he's losing - badly; thus, if his $100 limit is a
movement, it is not a winning one. Watching Brown stay in the
campaign is like watching a 65 year old professional baseball
player hobbling out onto the field on crutches. When someone like
Talia Shire praises Brown by saying that she "represents the
ozone" and that "a vote against Jerry Brown is a vote for
planetary death," it's hard to take his campaign seriously at
all.

o       Rush goes back to the bill that would prevent the hiring
of replacement workers to permanently replace striking employees.
Democrats want to ban permanent replacement workers so that they
can protect one of their constituent groups, unions. Unions,
though, have been steadily shrinking in power and now represent
about 16% of American workers.

Rush wonders how someone like Lane Kirkland of the AFLCIO can
deal with the current presidential campaign. Kirkland doesn't
want to endorse Clinton because Arkansas is a right-to-work
state, yet Bush wants to allow companies to permanently hire
replacements for striking workers. Bush also attacked unions by
enforcing a Supreme Court decision that allows workers to demand
that their dues not be used for political causes that they find
offensive.

Rush says that Kirkland's dilemma is worse than "kissing your
sister. It's like kissing your insane sister who's down in the
basement." AFLCIO leaders, though, voted Monday to endorse
Clinton so as to "strengthen him in his battle against Clinton."

Rush shouts "there's no battle with Jerry Brown - it's over! . .
. Barring the big scandal we haven't heard yet." Rush has heard a
lot of juicy rumors about Clinton, but he won't repeat them on
his show because "we have standards on this program, and until
something is alleged by a tabloid we don't go with it here. We
wait for major news sources on this show!"

*BREAK*

Rush wants to clue in new listeners as to his true thoughts on
women and feminism, since anyone who watched the Phil Donahue
show yesterday may have come out with some mistaken impressions.
Rush doesn't hate women, and he has nothing but respect for women
as people. However, he does have a disagreement with the politics
of militant feminists. Rush doesn't think that most women are
really feminists as feminism is being defined by the feminist
leadership, and this is the definition that has to be used since
the leadership controls the feminist organizations.

Rush doesn't believe that women who say "we're fierce, we're
feminists, we're in your face" are representative of most women
in this country. He also doubts that most women think that all
sex between a man and a woman is rape, even if it is consensual.
However, this is exactly what Katherine McKinnon teaches her
students at the University of Michigan. Another feminist teaches
that Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is nothing but "male domination
and an orgasm taking place." Rush calls all of this "really
obscure, fringe radical stuff."

Rush sees these feminists daily attacking the institutions and
values that have made America great, and Rush therefore responds
to these attacks. One of the ways he has responded is with his
new Feminist Update theme - the song "Men" mixed in with the
"we're fierce, we're feminists, and we're in your face" slogan.
<<See previous summaries for the lyrics to "Men">>

Rush didn't get a chance to give a proper introduction for the
Feminist Trading Cards commercial on the Donahue show - he is
"troubled by the inequity and unfairness" such as the fact that
women don't have their own holiday or their own trading cards.
Men, of course, have all sorts of cards - there are even cards
for Ninja Turtles - so Rush has decided to market Feminazi
Trading Cards, and he will play his commercial for that after the
break.

*BREAK*

Rush wants to play his commercial for Feminazi Trading Cards,
which he hopes will counter-balance things like the Mass Murderer
and Serial Murderer trading cards. First, though, he corrects
some of the definitions that were given on the Donahue show:

o       Environmentalist wacko - a socialist who looks at the
environment as a means to advance socialism and to destroy the
American economy.

o       Tree hugger - someone who licks toads to get high,
communes with trees, and eats oat nut mix while wearing a Boy
Scout uniform.

o       Animal Rights wacko - someone from People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals.

o       Gorbasm - a phony feeling of goodness and euphoria that
comes when you think of all the great and wonderful things that
Mikhail Gorbachev can do for the world. It is not a genuine
feeling.

o       Feminazi - there are 13 feminazis, who are feminists
whose only concern in the world is to see that as many abortions
as possible take place because abortion is the "ultimate
advancing technique of the feminist agenda, which is pure,
unadulterated liberalism." Feminazis are not the mainstream
feminists, but are the leaders who demonstrate that they have
absolutely no need for men, and abortion is the ultimate "in your
face" statement to men. The term feminazis does not encompass all
feminists, and especially does not include all women.

Rush plays his Feminazi Trading Cards commercial <<see previous
summaries for a transcript>>.

Phone   Dorothy from Peekskill, NY

Dorothy says that Bo seemed to think she was a feminazi, and at
72 she doesn't think she qualifies. She first heard Rush two
years ago and thought his Olympics for the homeless was
hysterical; now, though, she thinks Rush has changed a lot. Rush
doesn't think he has changed at all and asks what Dorothy what
she thinks has changed.

Dorothy isn't sure, but she doesn't like Rush's views on
abortion; she believes a woman should be in charge of her own
body. She compares banning abortion to "forcing all men to have
vasectomies after the age of 20." Rush says that he speaks about
abortion in a "very calm and non-threatening manner"; there is
nothing to laugh about with abortion, because this is an issue
about life.

Rush also thinks that there is plenty of evidence to suggest that
America already tells women what they can and cannot do with
their body - the argument that a woman can do whatever she wants
to with her body is simply not sound. Women cannot be
prostitutes, cannot take illegal drugs, etc.

Dorothy says that breast implants are "decidedly stupid," and
Rush calls that a great example. Women used to be able to get
breast implants very easily, but the implants have now been taken
off the market. So why are abortion supporters (who think a woman
can do anything she wants to with her body) preventing women from
using these implants? Militant feminists also object to beauty
pageant contestants or women who appear in men's magazines. Why
can't these women choose to wear skimpy bathing suits if they
want to? Clearly, feminist militants don't support the "I can do
anything I want to with my own body" argument unless it also
supports their political agenda.

Dorothy doesn't think that it's fair that men don't have to go
through nine months of pregnancy, which she calls "terrible."
Rush, though, says that pregnancy is not a disease or a
punishment as it is being portrayed by many feminists. Pregnancy
can also be easily prevented.

It bothers Rush that feminists use logic along the lines of
"abortion is safer than giving birth," as if pregnancy was some
sort of horrible affliction. Rush thinks that many militant
feminists want sex to have no consequences whatsoever, because
that would then avoid injecting any morality into the debate
about abortion. There should be a lot more responsibility taken
to prevent pregnancies from happening. Dorothy thinks that this
should apply to men, as well, and Rush agrees totally.

Dorothy says that men don't have to deal with the consequences of
pregnancy, and Rush points out that Roe vs. Wade has removed men
from the picture totally. The father of a fetus has no rights
whatsoever, and Rush will discuss this more after the break.

*BREAK*

Phone   Dorothy from Peekskill, NY (continued)

Rush recalls the lawsuit in Tennessee in which a divorcing couple
fought over custody of seven frozen embryos. The woman wanted the
embryos so that she could use them to eventually give birth; the
husband, though, did not the woman to be the mother of his
children and he did not want to have to pay child support for
children who would be born after the divorce.

The judge ruled as if the embryos were children; the man didn't
want the frozen embryos to be used to create a baby, but the
judge ruled against him. Rush finds it interesting that frozen
embryos are children outside of the womb; they thus have more
legal status if kept in a dish then they do if inside the womb,
thanks to Roe vs. Wade.

Another case in Oakland concerned a pregnant woman on life
support; the woman was brain dead but if she was kept on life
support, her baby could be delivered successfully in two months.
The woman's parents wanted the woman taken off life support,
which would kill the fetus. The woman's boyfriend, though, said
that he would raise the baby as a father should. Feminists,
though, started demonstrating because they knew that if the
father won this case, it would be a major strike against abortion
rights.

The case was decided out of court, though - the baby was
delivered by Cesarian section, and is now living happily with the
father in Oakland. Rush is therefore all for having men be more
responsible, both before and after pregnancy. However, this means
that men should also have the equivalent rights. Both the man and
woman should have to deal with a pregnancy.

Dorothy, though, is concerned about the welfare of babies that
nobody wants, and says that in New York babies are tossed into
dumpsters. Rush says that dumping a baby into a dumpster is not
any different from abortion - both cheapen life. It would be much
better if such mothers didn't get pregnant in the first place.
Rush knows that many listeners are probably screaming at their
radios now, but he wants to know what's wrong with insisting that
people should show some responsibility in the first place.

The Donahue crowd is undoubtedly claiming that poverty is an
excuse for abortion; since Rush has money, it's easy for him to
criticize, but the poor have no other option. Rush doesn't buy
that - you can't absolve people from their responsibilities
because of their lack of money or any other reason. This would
"lower the standards of the overall behavior of society," which
is clearly happening now.

*BREAK*

The latest issue of Time magazine has an article on Bill Clinton;
their cover picture of him, though, is not a normal photo - it's
a negative. Time is also going to be scrapping their current
format. They will instead have short news summaries in front,
with long stories in the middle, and reviews will be in the back.
"The half truths, fabrications, rumors, and lies, however, will
still continue to be sprinkled throughout the entire magazine,"
according to Rush.

*BREAK*

THIRD HOUR

Items

o       Nelson and Winnie Mandela have made statements about
their impending divorce. Nelson Mandela said that this was a
personal matter and that he hoped that reporters would respect
his privacy. Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips are also
getting divorced.

o       Neil Kinnock has resigned as leader of the Labour party,
although he will retain his seat in the House of Commons. The
newspapers are saying that the Conservatives came from behind in
the polls to win the recent election; Rush bets, though, that the
Conservatives were never behind in the polls. Instead the
electorate is getting more sophisticated and is learning how to
lie to pollsters. Kinnock, however, blamed his defeat on the
conservative press. Rush bets that Joe Biden will probably resign
soon as well, and that Biden will also blame the press.

o       The Washington Post has a front page story on how people
answer pollsters' questions. Polling agencies say that more and
more people are refusing to participate in their polls, and they
are thus trying to find ways to get people to cooperate.

o       Bill Clinton's half-brother, Roger, said that if Clinton
wins, his rock and roll band will play at the inauguration and
will "bring down the house the way Bill is going to bring down
the country."

o       H. Ross Perot wanted the government to enlarge the
Alliance Airport at a cost of $220 million. The FAA has rejected
the plans after Newsweek printed a story about how Perot's family
owns the land around the airport.

o       Rush reads verbatim some environmental wacko news - "Two
decades after warning the world that it was using up its
resources and growing too fast to sustain itself, the authors of
a gloomy 1972 best-seller about the perilous state of the Earth
are back with a sequel that says environmental devastation could
lead to the collapse of society. The book is `Beyond the Limits,'
an update to the famous report development [capitalism],
population growth, energy use, and waste-dumping are allowed to
continue, the population grows too large, pollution builds too
high, resources are drained too much, and a collapse is no longer
avoidable. The new book, by Danella H. Meadows, Dennis L.
Meadows, and Jorgen Randers, was presented yesterday by the
Wilson Center for Scholars and the Smithsonian Institute at the
Castle on the Mall in Washington, DC."

Rush says that this is the same exact thing that Paul Ehrlich did
- he wrote "The Population Bomb" in the 60s, and not one of his
predictions came true. So he wrote another book with equally
absurd predictions. These environmental doom-and- gloom crackpots
have been "dead-wrong" with every one of their predictions, but
they keep coming back with more absurdity.

Julian Simon made a bet with Paul Ehrlich in 1980 - Simon had
Ehrlich pick any 10 metals, and he bet that 10 years later they
would be in greater supply and cheaper. Ehrlich took the bet and
lost on all 10 metals. This was reported in a December, 1990 New
York Times Sunday magazine.

o       On the 80th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic,
the Pittsburgh Gazette ran a poll to see how chivalrous today's
men are. They found out that only 34% of the men would give up
their lifeboat seat to women that they didn't personally know.
Half of those polled said that they would give up their seat to
Mother Theresa, while only 8% said that they would give their
seat to Madonna. Rush bets that feminism is the driving force
behind this shift in mores.

Update  Feminist         (The Forrester sisters, "Men" with "in

A chain of women-only health clubs does not have to admit men,
according to a Pennsylvania court; the court's two female
justices dissented however. The state court's decision overturned
a state commission's ruling that the clubs had to admit men. The
clubs claimed that women would be "embarrassed" to have to
exercise with men.

Rush is amazed that men cannot have their own private clubs while
women can have theirs simply because they are "embarrased." Women
claim that they are being denied business and career
opportunities if they aren't allowed into men's clubs, and Rush
has to wonder just what kind of career opportunities really exist
in such clubs. The EIB staff tries to make Rush be more explicit,
but he steadfastly refuses.

He does, though, recall how Mills College in Oakland was going to
admit men because they weren't making enough money. The plan was
dropped when students demonstrated and the papers had front page
pictures of the female students crying.

Phone   David from Minneapolis, MN

David applauds Rush for his performance on the Donahue show. He
thinks that Rush effectively showed the compassion that
conservatives feel, and that one audience member in particular
must have been blind not to see that. Rush says that one audience
member was a "cliche" who was just spouting lines from the
liberal handbook.

David has a sexual harassment story from his office - a feminazi
in the office berated David for saying "hey, babe, how's it
going." The next day, though, two other gorgeous women told him
that they loved being called "babe" and asked him not to stop.
Rush seriously tells David that he has to be "real careful."
David has no idea as to the reasons why people are telling him
things or for what purpose. He shouldn't even call the two women
"babe" because it just opens him up to future charges of
harassment.

This is the problem with sexual harassment that the feminists
have created - feminists are trying to make sexual harassment the
next civil rights issue. This is why Anita Hill has made it the
focal point of her speeches.

Phone   Drew from Shreveport, LA

Drew mentions that Senate Bill 1227 has been introduced by George
Mitchell to exempt members of Congress from any national health
care plan that may be introduced and adopted. Rush says that he
mentioned this last week, and has gotten a number of letters
about it. He calls it "quintessential, typical Congress" -
Congress claims that they are going to devise the best health
system in the world, but obviously it won't be good enough for
members of Congress.

Drew thinks it's obvious that congressional arrogance is still in
full force and that they haven't gotten the message. Rush thanks
Drew for making this point, and says this is very illustrative -
it should show supporters of national health care that any such
plan will not provide good and "free" health care. Congress
obviously doesn't want to deal with a system that turns patients
into numbers and which rations health care.

Congress instead will have their own physicians, clinics, etc.
This is how national health care developed in Great Britain. When
Rush and his family were in London, his father needed health
care, and they had to wait in the long lines with everybody else.
Interestingly enough, though, London has a number of brand new
shiny hospitals, which are private hospitals that are available
only to those who have the money to pay. So national health care
still doesn't provide the same health care for everybody.

Rush thinks that a "Congress Watch" needs to be established, to
monitor the laws that Congress is passing but which they are
exempting themselves from. Every law that Congress is exempting
itself from should therefore be considered a bad law, which
should not be passed.

Phone   Donna from St. Louis, MO

Donna is a first-time listener and she thinks it's nice to know
that "there's one Republican on the radio." Donna was glad to see
that Oliver North made "mincemeat" of Donahue several months ago,
and she hopes that Rush did the same thing yesterday. Rush says
that he and North were on a CNBC program, and North warned Rush
that Donahue's program was the rudest and most impolite one that
he's yet experienced.

Donna is sure that she and Rush will disagree on a number of
issues, but she is equally certain that they will have much
common ground as well. She would like to hear some of Rush's
poetry about Ted Kennedy. Rush explains that he doesn't do
poetry; the Vanity Fair article on him printed the lyrics to one
of his many songs. To give Donna the full effect of his music,
Rush plays the "Philanderer" for her.

Donna loves the song, and says that she is "halfway between
Steinem and Schlafly." She is against abortion and school busing,
but is for choice in education, equal pay, and quotas. She thus
doesn't agree with any party completely, although she leans
toward the Republican party. Rush says she has "marvelous"
opinions, and that the only idea she needs to have "reformed" is
quotas; however, he won't try to do that now, but will save it
for a future time.

Rush comments that he heard of a man who went in to buy a
Cadillac, and drove all 14 of the dealership's Cadillacs so that
he could test the radios' ability to pick up Rush's show
throughout town. Rush laughs at the idea of a man who bought his
car on the basis of its ability to pick up his show.

Phone   Dave from Syracuse, NY

Dave comments that his local radio station is no longer playing
their usual disclaimer before Rush's show. Rush comments that
this type of disclaimer is usually done out of the fear that most
listeners will not like Rush or his show; however, this is not
so, and is why Rush makes his own joking disclaimer at the top of
each hour.

Dave says that his station had a report on Jeremy Rifkin who is
claiming that cows are destroying the world. He can't believe
this kind of stupidity, and Rush says that Rifkin is promoting
his own book, "Beyond Beef." This is part of an attack by
militant vegetarians that was started two years ago. The media,
though, "is starting to give credance to this insanity" which
claims that cow methane is causing global warming.

Dave thinks Rush did well on the Donahue show, that Bo should be
given a trip to Hawaii, and that "Rush the Knife" should be
played again. Rush regretfully says that he can't play the song
anymore because EIB's permission to use the song has expired. EIB
didn't renew the agreement because "they just wanted too much
money for it."

Rush wonders why the animal rights wackos aren't attacking Rifkin
for his own attacks against cows. Once again it's shown that
animal rights wackos are all for animals except if the animals
are "politically incorrect." Rush gives them a "giant `H' for
hypocrisy." Rush also says that he is not attacking anybody but
is simply responding to the attacks against the beef industry,
which has not "contributed one bit of negativity to this country
or our way of life."

One anti-beef activist is the son of a successful Illinois beef
rancher, and is attacking his own father. The son is claiming
that his father is profiting from the "starvation of the poor"
and the "evils of beef." Rush calls this typical of a kid who
feels guilty because he has not had to work for anything in his
life, and thus he tries to give his life some measure of
substance by attacking that which made him wealthy.

Rush calls the Rifkin crusade a "ridiculous, hair-brained idea"
which is not challeneged at all by the mainstream media. Rifkin,
though, is not some noble fighter for the cause of justice, but
is trying to put an entire American industry out of business.

Phone   Jody from Lubbock, TX

Jody wonders if Katherine McKinnon considers all sex to be rape,
or just sex between a man and a woman. Rush answers that McKinnon
specifically said that women who were married were still being
raped, even though they don't think so. Sex in marriage,
according to McKinnon, is still a form of male domination, but
women are blinded to this by their belief that they are in love.

Rush says that many young women are being taught this kind of
stuff, and they end up becoming people like Hillary Clinton, who
thinks eight-year olds should be able to sue their parents.

Phone   Richard from Columbia, SC

Richard thinks it's bizarre that Rush's detractors on the Donahue
show don't argue the issues, but just starting calling him names.
He gives as an example the Donahue caller who said Rush was a
"fascist." Rush asked the man what a fascist was, and the guy
couldn't answer; he was just throwing the same names around that
all of his liberal friends use, but he had no idea as to what
they really meant.

Richard was also frustrated by Donahue's refusal to give Rush
enough time to answer any questions. Rush says that Donahue kept
saying "time's up, short answers - we've got to get these people
on." Rush says that he should have expected this type of thing,
and that "you live and learn."
