August 24, 1992

MORNING UPDATE

Rush's last word on the Republican convention is a kind one for
the backstage crew. Everybody knows that the Republicans don't
have any real blacks or women in the party, yet the backstage
crew did a marvelous job in making this one token black look like
hundreds of different men - first tall, then short, then heavy,
and then thin.

The makeup people did a marvelous job in giving this one person
hundreds of different faces, while the wardrobe mistresses were
outstanding in how they made this one person first look
successful, then average, then casual, then formal, then heroic,
and then contemporary. The sound engineers did their part, too,
as they changed the voice of this one token black so that he
first spoke with a bass voice, then a tenor voice, then a
professorial voice, and then an average voice. The prop masters
added the final touches by giving this guy glasses, then contact
lenses, then a hearing aid, and then a chest full of medals.

These backstage employees, though, really shined in how they made
the Republican party's one token woman appear like thousands -
she was young, and then old, plain and then gorgeous, white and
then black, and even hispanic. Rush suggests that a special Emmy
should be given to the GOP for "illusion trickery and sleaze."

For those who don't get the joke, Rush states that in actuality
the Republican party is a home for many people, from all walks of
life. "Watch out for November," Rush predicts.

FIRST HOUR

Items

o       Rush again thanks everyone at KSEV in Houston for hosting
him last week. Rush relates that when he got home on Friday
night, he had dinner and then went to the Eastside Billiard Club
to play pool at midnight. The EIB staff is incredulous that Rush
can play pool, but he says that he is a "shark"; the EIB staff
decide to nickname him "EIB Slim."

o       When he returned to the EIB studios this morning, Rush
found a letter waiting from an "author" who is planning to write
an unauthorized biography about Rush. The author has already
spoken to a number of people from Rush's past, and would like to
speak with Rush as well. Rush is impressed with the
"thoughtfulness" of this author who is effectively saying that
he'd like to speak with Rush, but doesn't consider this necessary
for his book.

Rush decides to start thinking about events in his past so that
if there is anything that could embarrass him, he can at least be
the first one to reveal it on his show.

o       Rush plans on speaking about the Woody Allen situation at
some length today, especially since people like Newt Gingrich are
saying that "Clinton has the Woody Allen plank in his platform";
Quayle staffer William Kristol added "I don't want to say
anything about Woody Allen except that he is a good Democrat."

Most everyone else, though, is running away from the suggestion
that the Democratic party's sense of values is similar to what
Woody Allen is alleged to have done. However, this is exactly
what the whole debate of family values is all about. There are
people who attack anyone who talks about strengthening
traditional family values, and Woody Allen fits right in with
this debate.

This is not to say that Woody Allen is a mirror of the Democratic
party, but there are many connections between the two that are
worth seriously discussing. Rush has to admit, though, that his
attitude towards Allen is one of "total apathy"; he has never
thought that Allen was funny, or anything other than just "plain
screwed up and weird."

Allen has been a "psychological creep with a movie camera" who
has presented one "perverted aspect of Americana" after another
in his films. Rush basically doesn't care about Woody Allen,
except in the sense that Allen's situation is providing an
opening in which to make a political point.

Rush asks how it can be that a family such as Allen's and
Farrow's, with Allen claiming that he has never lived with Farrow
or taken his children on outings, can be perceived as normal. The
"anything goes" permissive attitude that pervades liberalism
seems to have been practiced to the hilt by Allen and his family,
and liberal Democrats are the home for this liberalism.

The left for years has been demanding that they can do what they
want without any sense of responsibility or consequence, and if
anyone disagrees with them, they state with a sense of outrage
that nobody can judge them or tell them how to live their lives.
There is a clear political link with the Allen situation, but
whether it can be exploited by the Republicans is another matter.

Rush finds it hard not to laugh at Allen's situation - his movies
have portrayed all aspects of the perverted and strange, and
critics are even saying that his next movie coming out is so
close to what is happening now as to be "ironic." Yet this is not
ironic, "it's weird." Rush compares Allen to Humphrey the
retarded whale who kept trying to beach himself in the California
delta. Allen is simply a "weird guy" and this really isn't news.
Rush promises to talk more about this latter.

o       Mario Cuomo, aka "the pious," has sent Jack Kemp a letter
about the Republican insistence on tax cuts. Cuomo was also on
Face the Nation yesterday and he reached new levels of vitriol
when he called Republicans "nazis."

Using a similar tone, Clarence Page on Friday's MacNeil/Lehrer
called the first night of the Republican convention a "neo-nazi
convention." Rush laughs at how the Democrats are attacking the
Republicans "sleazy" while they themselves are slinging names
like "nazis" around.

Rush bets that in spite of this mud-slinging, the election will
eventually end up with a real debate of the issues. Christopher
Georges has an editorial in today's New York Times, and he has
found that 39 of Clinton's 49 proposals in his "Putting People
First" program are identical to those proposed by Michael
Dukakis. So, in spite of their claims to be moderates, the
Democrats are the same old thing.

o       The Democrats, along with the New York Times, have
weighed in with their objections to Bush's taxpayer checkoff plan
to reduce the deficit. Rush promises to regale his audience with
these arguments later in the show.

*BREAK*

Jesse Jackson's half-brother has been sentenced to life in prison
and fined $6 million for various crimes, including drug trading
and conspiring to kill a witness in a murder trial. Rush regrets
that Dukakis didn't win in 1988 since if he had, Jackson's
brother would at least have been able to get out of jail now and
then.

Phone   Jan from Greenville, SC

Jan wants to talk about the various health care programs being
put forth by Clinton and Bush. She thinks that Clinton's plan
would only increase the burden on working Americans. Rush says
that Clinton is going to make business and taxpayers pay for his
plan; whenever the government decides that somebody is going to
get a check, this means that a wealth transfer will have to take
place, no matter what. Those who are able to pay, will pay.

Bush's plan, however, simply makes it easier for employees to
sign up for health insurance under less expensive group health
plans. Rush is running out of time, and thus will try to explain
it after the break.

*BREAK*

The Bush health care plan wants to sign up as many people as
possible for commercial health care plans, without having to
resort to wealth transfers and new taxes. The ultimate goal is to
reduce the cost of health insurance to the point where everyone
can buy it by reducing health care costs.

One of the ways Bush plans to do this is through a comprehensive
tort reform package which would eliminate the incredibly high
malpractice insurance payments that doctors have to pay. Bush
also wants to implement a voucher system that allows employees to
sign up for health insurance where they work; the employer is not
actually providing this insurance, but employees can take
advantage of group discounts for health care. Since employees are
buying the health care themselves, they remain covered even if
they leave their current job.

Low-income workers will have vouchers that can be applied to
health care, but this is a far less sweeping plan that Clinton's
plan to implement a form of national socialized medicine within
the first 100 days of his administration. The only way that the
supporters of socialized medicine have gotten this close to
implementing such a plan is by presenting health care as a
"crisis" of American life.

This is the same tactic that they have used for so many other
causes, and it presents a totally false picture of health care in
America. America still has the finest health care system in the
world, and 85% of people in America have some sort of insurance.
There is no crisis that demands an immediate fix, but the
supporters for socialized medicine are hoping people won't
realize this and will instead stampede towards one of their
proposed plans.

Phone   Patrick from Jacksonville, FL

Patrick thinks Bush has an innovative approach to dealing with
Congress as far as his proposed spending freeze goes; if Congress
sends him a bill that exceeds his limits, Bush will just veto the
bill and send it back to them. Patrick worries, though, that this
approach really needs the line-item veto since otherwise
government will be paralyzed.

Rush says that if the country is going to seriously try to solve
the deficit, it must approach the problem from the spending side,
not from the tax side. However, to show how difficult it will be
to get the cooperation of the Democratic Congress in this, Rush
will read the letter Mario Cuomo sent to Jack Kemp, and this
leads into a Mario Cuomo Update.

Update  Mario Cuomo         (Screamin' Jay Hawkins, "I Put A
Spell on You")

Rush digresses for a moment to comment that Screamin' Jay Hawkins
has appeared a couple of times on the now-defunct Dennis Miller
show, with no noticeable change in the way his career has been
progressing. However, thanks to Rush's use of Clarence "Frogman"
Henry's music, the Frogman's career has been booming. In fact,
Rush's new Slick Willie Update theme has inspired speculation
that Johnny Preston's career may be revived as well.

Rush proceeds on with Cuomo's letter to Jack Kemp:

"Dear Jack, I regret missing your speech at the convention in
Houston; I was attending a family values prayer meeting of a few
supply-side advocates who can't afford the fare to Texas. I was
told that you made some reference to the `craziness of tax
increases.'

"As you reflect further on this issue, you may find the attached
documents from the President's Office of Management and Budget
detailing 19 separate tax bills enacted during the Reagan/Bush
years to be of interest. You may also want to review the Social
Security tax which has nearly tripled during the Reagan/Bush era,
and President Bush's pledge-breaker, the huge tax increase of
1990. If, as you say, raising taxes is a manifestation of
craziness, I assume you are preparing the commitment papers for
yourself.

"As you strap on your leather-helmet to do battle in this fall's
campaign for the gold standard and supply-side economics, perhaps
you should see what damage you are doing to your own team and its
quarterback. Best to you, Mario Cuomo."

Rush thinks that Patrick's fears about government grinding to a
halt are needless, and that it would, in fact, be "very good to
bottle up spending." Bush should have allowed this to happen in
1990 instead of going along with the Democratic tax increases.

Cuomo is the one who loves tax increases, and he praised Governor
Jim Florio for raising New Jersey's taxes. But, in his letter to
Kemp, Cuomo blames the Social Security tax increases on Reagan
and Bush, yet these increases were mandated back in the Carter
administration. These were required increases and just another
entitlement program, and there is no way these can be blamed on
Reagan or Bush.

For Cuomo to also single out Bush for his "pledge-breaking"
support of the 1990 Budget Deal is incredulous since this bill
was a Democratic one through and through. However, Kemp is
exactly right - tax increases are not needed, but spending
controls are. Bush has got to stand by his spending freeze
proposal and actually make it happen. If Bush has to bottle up
some of Congress' pork-barrel spending, then so be it.

Patrick worries about how Congress can throw a bone to Bush now
and then, and then tie all of their pork-barrel programs to it.
He would like Bush to be more specific about his proposals and
stop his "finger-pointing." Rush says that Bush has to show the
American people that it was the Democrats who were behind the
1990 Budget Deal since they are now trying to blame him for all
of it.

Bush has to stop the spread of the erroneous idea that the
deficit was caused by Reagan's tax cuts, and show that it was
actually caused by out-of-control congressional spending. The
President cannot spend any money, and Bush has to show the
country how fallacious this idea is. What Bush is now saying is
that he is not going to let Congress get away with their
increased spending by using the tactic of tying their pork-barrel
projects to something that the country needs. Thus, Bush will
veto such bills until Congress starts to learn how to freeze
spending.

This is why people elected Bush in 1988 and why he will be re-
elected in 1992. Bush should carve out Congress as his political
enemy because they are; they are the ones who are responsible for
the country's unlimited spending and increasing deficit. This is
why term limits are becoming more and more popular, because
people are tired of what their Congress is doing.

*BREAK*

Yesterday on Face the Nation, Mario Cuomo said "what do you mean
by `culture'? That's a word used by Nazi Germany." Cuomo then
said that "people are scared all over the country" because of the
Republican convention's comments on culture. Rush says that Cuomo
shows what is exactly at the root of the two party's fundamental
differences - Cuomo won't allow anyone to talk about culture
without calling them Nazis and inferring that they are being
divisive.

However, this country has been based on the basic concept that
people can do whatever they want, but they have to keep it to
themselves. This produced America's normal, mainstream culture.
Now, though, the sub-cultures are angry that they aren't fitting
in or being accepted by the mainstream, and thus are now trying
to define things so that they are considered "normal."

Values are a main part of culture, and now when Republicans are
talking about values and cultures they are accused of being neo-
Nazis and divisive. Yet, nobody makes these same accusations
against the multiculturalists. When people like Cuomo start
calling others names like this, it usually means that they have
run out of substantive arguments. The American people, though,
know what is going on, and they are troubled by the moral decay
that they see in various factions of society. They are fully
aware that this moral decay affects the rest of society, and that
it holds back people who want to succeed in business and in
raising their families.

o       Rush welcomes Mike Mamone back as broadcast engineer
after his three-week vacation. Rush warns him that Tony Lo Bianco
is understandably upset at no longer being on the show, and is
undoubtedly planning some underhanded action to get Mamone out of
the way for his return.

o       Rush congratulates EIB affiliate WLS in Chicago - today
is their fourth anniversary of both their format change to talk
radio and of their being an EIB affiliate.

*BREAK*

SECOND HOUR

Today's New York Times has come to the defense of Hillary
Clinton, and Cuomo is claiming that the Republicans are behaving
like "nazis" because they dare to talk about culture. Rush,
though, is tired of these types of attacks, and he states quite
clearly that liberalism is "heinous, injurious, dehumanizing, and
just plain bad and rotten." Liberals know this, but will never
admit it because it is their way to power. Liberalism is so
insidious that liberals are even calling themselves
"progressives" or "moderates."

Liberalism is a world-wide failure, and liberals know now that
they can't win elections by being liberals any more. This is why
they retreat time and time again to attack-style politics. This
type of politics started with the LBJ commercial in 1964 that
claimed a little girl picking daisies would be nuked if Goldwater
was elected.

Rush has seen conservatives pummeled and ridiculed throughout the
80s. Tip O'Neil claimed that Reagan wanted to "send your boys"
off to war in Nicaragua, but nobody in the media accused O'Neil
of "sleazy politics" or challenged his assertion.

Now, liberals are hysterically whining whenever Republicans dare
tell the truth about them, and they are rallying around Hillary
Clinton. They claim Hillary shouldn't be a political target even
though she has made it quite clear that she will have a prominent
voice in a Clinton administration.

However, Rush has hopes that both sides will exhaust themselves
with this sleaze, and that the political debate will be forced
into a discussion of the issues. One particular issue will be
Bush's economic and tax proposals. The New York Times has already
signed on with an editorial against Bush's proposal to allow
taxpayers to specify that 10% of their taxes should be used to
pay off the deficit. Congress would therefore have to reduce
spending by that same amount.

Rush asks what is wrong with this plan, which is only the people
directly deciding how their taxes should be used to pay off the
debt? Perot supporters should love this approach to government.
The only people who can fault this idea are liberals who don't
consider the people to be intelligent enough to decide such
issues of weighty importance. They think only Congress should be
allowed to determine how the deficit should be paid off.

The NY Times editorial states "the checkoff for deficit reduction
amounts to a truly ominous war on government; indeed a war on the
poor." Rush points out that liberals claim everything is a "war"
- a war on culture, a war on religion, a war on Hillary Clinton
and all women, and now a war on government. Rush, though, thinks
it's about time that a war should be declared against government.
And the "war on the poor" is incredibly predictable for these
liberals.

The editorial continues on to say "instead of having Congress,
elected on the basis of one person, one vote, decide on how much
to reduce the deficit, Mr. Bush would empower individuals to
decide, only in his scheme votes are proportional to income, in
effect giving the rich the power to kill programs for the poor."
Rush would love somebody to explain this logic to him.

The New York Times is not alone in this as many prominent
Democrats are saying the same thing against Bush's proposal -
it's the same liberal logic that states Republican proposals are
always evil because they "hurt the poor the most." Their logic
claims that allowing a rich person to specify that 10% of their
$100,000 tax burden should go to deficit reduction will result in
that money being taken from the poor.

Yet how does anyone know that this money will be taken from the
poor since it will be Congress who will decide where to cut the
budget by a similar amount? The Democrats have been bitching
about the deficit since 1984; they have been complaining that the
growing deficit would signal an economic apocalypse, yet nothing
they have done has worked. Bush's plan is the first that would
actually pay off the deficit, and if it is so crucial to pay off
this burden then why not do it this way?

Yet Congress complains that Bush's plan is unacceptable because
it takes away part of their power. What, though, has Congress
done to solve this problem except spend more and more money?
Congress simply hasn't been getting the job done, and they know
it. This is why they retreat to their same old litany that
Republican plans will "hurt the poor."

Liberals act as if the "poor" were some kind of disabled,
dysfunctional group that is emotionally, intellectually, and
professionally inferior. Liberals don't seem to believe that the
poor can ever be able to take care of themselves. Liberals don't
seem to believe that the poor will ever be able to improve their
lot, and that they will therefore be poor from cradle to grave.
This is absurd and patently untrue.

If you really want to help the poor, then get rid of liberalism.
If liberals really want to help the truly needy, then the debt
has to be paid off. Liberals know this and they know that there
isn't any money left, which is why they are screaming so loud and
long.

*BREAK*

Item

o       Rush does his bit to revive Johnny Preston's career by
playing "Charming Billy" just for the heck of it.

Rush has received a fax from Jack Kemp which has his response to
Mario Cuomo's complaints about Bush's attacks against tax
increases. Kemp replies as follows:

"Dear Mario, you wouldn't believe this but it looks like somebody
sent me a crazy letter, under your signature, defending Bill
Clinton's plan to increase taxes, but it emanated from a Carville
fax machine in Little Rock, Arkansas.

"You better check it out, Mario, as I know you don't want Jim
Carville writing your Associated Press dispatches. Even worse,
Mario, it accused you of missing my speech on TV. I'm shocked! As
you remember, you told me if I mentioned your name on national
TV, you'd watch my speech to the Republican convention.

"I'm disappointed in the broken promise, but I guess it was
Carville. As always, it's a pleasure to hear from any loyal
Democrat. The catalogue of tax increases proposed and passed by
the Democratic Congress in recent years was indeed most
troubling.

"If your party is now saying that American workers, families, and
entrepreneurs are over-taxed, I heartily agree! I'll be glad to
join you in sending a letter of strong protest to Speaker Foley
and Senator Mitchell and welcome you to the fold of supply side
tax cutters.

"By the way, guy, President Bush called last night for cutting
tax rates and for making spending cuts while you and Governor
Clinton plan to raise income tax rates and even place a surtax on
the income tax rates. I'll bet you a Jim Carville fax versus a
Mary Matalin fax that we win in November.

"P.S. By the way, I'll meet you anywhere, any time, any place to
debate on raising taxes versus cutting tax rates. Cheerfully, as
always, Jack."

Rush says that Cuomo's fax shows how brazen the Democrats have
become. Not only have they attacked Bush for "his" tax increases
in 1990, but now Cuomo is even praising these tax increases and
welcoming Bush "to the fold."

*BREAK*

Phone   Jerry from Shakopee, MN

Jerry thought that Barbara Bush had clearly stated what family
values were all about, and in particular she outlined family
values by listing what she and George had taught their kids. Rush
agrees and says that he has asked his audience for their
definition of family values because he is interested in seeing
how differently people define this idea.

Rush says that a lot of people are getting tired of the term
"family values," and would prefer the term "traditional values."
However, people know what family values really are - these family
values define those things which most people instinctively know
are wrong and right. When leaders fail to acknowledge obvious
wrongs, and instead champion those wrongs as a legitimate
alternative life-style choice, people get upset. This is not
complicated stuff.

For example, when Ice-T records songs that urge the killing of
cops as well as the violent, physical sexual abuse of women, and
"leaders" don't see anything wrong with this, decent people get
upset. Furthermore, when some leaders do attack this decline in
values, they are called "nazis," especially by those in the
entertainment media who promulgate this decline.

When 2 Live Crew gleefully discussed the violent destruction of
the female vagina in their "Me So Horny," they were defended as
"artists." However, most people do not consider this to be art,
and they certainly wouldn't want their children exposed to it.
The only thing that makes this art is the relaxing of standards
and the devaluation of what is right and wrong. But when people
complained about this, they were called "fascists" and "nazis."

Similarly, when people complained about Robert Maplethorpe's
obscene photos, they were reviled as "fascists." One photo showed
one man urinating into the mouth of another, while another showed
a man with a bullwhip stuck in his rectum. For these photos to be
considered "art" means a devaluation of standards and morals.
Reasonable people who are trying to raise their children are
offended by these photos, and they don't want to pay for this
crap. Artists, of course, don't believe in the free market, and
if the market isn't willing to pay for their "art," they expect
the government to pay for it, but it is reasonable for people to
object to this use of their money.

Everything is cheapened by these relaxation of standards, which
is why kids are killing one another for their sneakers. This
devaluation of morals has created a permissive society in which
anything goes. This is why the country should not be shocked by
what may be happening in the Woody Allen family. Yet, people are
called "nazis" if they dare to object to what is going on, or try
to voice their support for traditional values and common decency.

Rush's Undeniable Truth of Life #23 sums things up nicely -
"morality cannot be defined by individual choice." Yet, this is
exactly what liberals want - to have whatever they do be defined
as "moral," and if you disagree with them, you end up being
accused of being a nazi fascist by people such as Mario Cuomo.

This is what freedom means to them - no consequence and no
responsibility. These people have liberalism backing them up, and
thus can make the case that people act the way they do because of
"social conditions." They excuse aberrant behavior, and when
people stand up and point out that this is wrong, these people
are accused of being nazis and fascists.

For Cuomo to respond so quickly with such idiotic charges and
without responding with any substantive rebuttal means that he
knows how morally bankrupt his position is. For Cuomo to even ask
"what do you mean by culture" shows that he is aware that this
topic readily identifies the weaknesses of the liberal position.
This issue shows clearly those aspects of the liberal ideology
that have fallen apart and cannot be supported.

*BREAK*

Another example of Democratic "values" is that they won't allow
the Ten Commandments to be posted in schools. Rush could rattle
off more examples, but it should be already clear that this is a
genuine issue worthy of genuine debate. The Wall Street Journal
today has an aside that says "reading the weekend papers, we
discovered that the GOP is being controlled by the religious
right, but who are they? We'll wager that not one northern
newspaper, no New York-based magazine, and none of the three
older networks makes any effort to produce a piece of straight
journalism that simply describes who these people are - where do
they live, where do they work, do they really pray all the time,
what schools do they attend, why are they angry?"

Rush says that this is exactly right - nobody is defining who
these people are, but they are being portrayed as single-minded,
religious fanatics. Religious people are being portrayed as the
"enemy" who will "impose their way on the rest of us."

Nobody is trying to impose anything on anyone, but they are
simply trying to halt the spread of immorality through society
and its institutions. Rush bets that things are going to get more
vicious but eventually it will result in a real discussion of the
issues at stake here.

*BREAK*

Phone   Joe from Winston-Salem, NC

Joe wants to talk about two things - the explosion in bankruptcy
filings today can be based on Congress. Congress just spends,
spends, spends, and this gives a bad example for others. It's too
easy to get credit and it's too easy to declare bankruptcy.
There's no incentive for people to save or to limit their
spending.

His second topic is the current unemployment rate - Joe doesn't
think that the current unemployment rate of 7% is that bad,
especially considering that a few decades ago women and teenagers
weren't a real factor in the work force. Rush agrees and he
praises Joe for his great attitude.

THIRD HOUR

Items

o       Ben Barr, brother to Roseanne Arnold, is now claiming
that she beat him, and Rush comments on this great example of
another American family. Roseanne Arnold has herself claimed that
she was abused by her parents, and Rush states that he has no
compassion for Hollywood types who would seek to excuse any
transgressions in their lives by blaming it on their parents,
upbringing, or whatever other dysfunctional event they can come
up with. However, aren't these people in effect blaming poor
family values for their problems?

Ben Barr is now claiming that Roseanne beat him while she was a
youngster, and he wishes that she would get on with her life and
leave him alone. In an interview with the Salt Lake City Tribune
Barr claims "she was very violent and out of control," and that
"when my mother would leave, she would chase me around the house
and beat me. She would sit on me, she would beat me with the
metal parts of the vacuum cleaner."

Rush says that Barr should at least be grateful that his sister
didn't introduce him to Woody Allen. Rush, though, is amazed that
the same people who claim that they shouldn't be held responsible
because of the poor family values in their past are also the ones
who ridicule and lampoon this entire concept.

o       The EIB Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies has
been doing some thinking about Willie Horton since the Democrats
are claiming that the Republicans are turning Hillary Clinton
into the next Willie Horton. Dukakis and the Democrats lost a
17-point lead for many reasons. Five of these reasons are as
follows:

-       The "Massachusetts Miracle" was a myth

-       The Dukakis organization was a disaster

-       Kitty Dukakis displayed dysfunctional emotional problems

-       Dukakis put on a stupid helmet and rode around in a
stupid tank, which made him look like Beetle Bailey and turned
him into a laughingstock

-       Dukakis choked on Bernard Shaw's "what if you wife was
raped" question

None of these five reasons are ever mentioned to explain Dukakis'
loss. Instead, Willie Horton is the only reason that Democrats
can find to explain his landslide defeat in November, 1988.
Willie Horton seems to be the "only truth" in America today, even
though this ad aired only twice on local cable access television.

The only reason the ad was ever aired nationally was because the
networks aired it to show how "offensive" it was. Everything in
the Willie Horton ad was true, but nobody mentions this either.
Yet, according to the Democrats, it was the sole reason for
Dukakis' failure. Now Willie Horton has become a "code word," and
Democrats are looking for "other code words," which they define
as anything which is true.

o       The EIB staff interrupts Rush to tell him that former
broadcast engineer Kiki dela Garza is on the phone, but when Rush
tries to pick it up, he finds that she has hung up. Rush comments
that Kiki is enjoying 10 months of maternity leave and is
currently at the Lake Isle Country Club. Kiki told Bo, though,
that nobody is going into the pool until Rush's show is over.

 Phone  Earl from Binghamton, NY

Earl saw Newt Gingrich and Betsy Wright on John McLaughlin's One
on One, and McLaughlin asked Wright about Gore's plan to raise
taxes on heating gas and electricity. Earl wants to know, though,
if this is "punishing the rich"; he had thought that the poor
also used gas and electricity, too. Rush agrees - Clinton is
claiming he will tax the "power companies," but in actuality the
tax will be passed on to their consumers, making it even harder
for the poor to pay their gas and electric bills.

Earl also asks why the radical feminists have been so silent
since the Democratic convention. Rush says that he hasn't noticed
this, but it's true - the feminazis are laying low, which is
especially curious since they normally would have been out in
force after the Republican convention.

Rush praises Earl for being exactly right in this, and he
comments that this is another example of how the Democrats are
trying to keep their ultra-left leaders quiet during Clinton's
campaign. The question that has to be asked is what price have
these groups exacted for their silence? What do they expect to
receive from a Clinton administration?

Rush thanks Earl for his call and moves onto the story of Paolino
Payakin, who has been praised as the epitome of environmental
leadership. Payakin even received the United Nations
Environmental Award for his efforts on behalf of the environment.
During the Earth Summit, though, Payakin disappeared because the
police were seeking him on rape and attempted murder charges.

Payakin has been called "the loser of the week" by a German
magazine. The magazine reveals that Payakin has made millions
from secretly exploiting the rain forests by selling pelts and
skins of rare animals, mahogany, and even gold. The magazine,
however, calls him "an innocent child of nature corrupted by the
bad morals of capitalism." Thus, this poor man is now no longer a
model environmentalist, but it's not his fault because he was
corrupted by evil capitalists. This is how the environmental
activists who once praised Payakin are now trying to excuse their
support for him.

o       Rush adds that Paolino Payakin's wife was also accused of
biting off the nipple of one of Payakin's servants as he raped
her. The two then tried to strange this girl, but another servant
heard the girl's cries and got help. Rush recalls that back in
June he predicted that the United States would be blamed for all
of this, and now it's happened.

o       The July 6th issue of New Republic has a story by Greg
Easterbrook about Al Gore. Easterbrook documents that Gore and
"guru" Paul Ehrlich want journalists to censor themselves by not
printing any environmental news that is not alarming, because
this would "undermine the effort to build a solid base of public
support for the difficult actions we must soon take." Easterbrook
says that it's "eerie" to hear liberals claim that competing
viewpoints should not be heard, and he adds that such things
traditionally occur when a movement fears it is about to be
discredited.

Rush points to Mario Cuomo's accusations of "nazi" and "fascist"
as another example of this sort of tactic. Easterbrook continues
on by saying that Senator Gore "asserts that reporters should
attach little weight to scientists who question greenhouse
emergency claims because perhaps only 2% of credentialed
researchers feel that way." However, this isn't true.

Greenpeace surveyed climatologists and found that 47% of
respondents, by far the largest group, believe that a runaway
greenhouse effect is nearly impossible. Rush is amazed that a
liberal journal is printing such things. So here is a Democratic
Vice Presidential candidate urging journalists to ignore news
that conflicts with his personal views. However, if anyone
mentions this fact, the left reacts with hysteria and claims it's
"dirty and sleazy" campaigning.

Phone   Charles from St. James, NY

Charles is getting fedup with New York politics and taxes, and
his father echoes this sentiment and says that Mario Cuomo's
policies are hurting people all over the state. Rush isn't
surprised since Cuomo has praised both Governors Florio and
Clinton for their "courage" in calling for tax increases.

Charles says that he has been paying more attention to the
issues, and last week he heard that Cuomo has raised taxes 53
times, yet he is complaining that Bush has raised taxes 19 times.
Rush says that the great thing about Cuomo's comments is that a
premiere tax raiser is now willing to debate the "craziness" of
tax increases. Cuomo is trying to blame Bush for raising taxes,
even while Democrats are planning to do the same thing again and
again.

Charles loves EIB's "Single White Female" commercial, and Rush
agrees to play it again. He explains, though, that he is not
Hillary-bashing, but presenting the truth in the form of biting
humor and satire. Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton have both
referred to themselves as a "blue-plate special" where, in
Hillary's own words, "if you elect him you get me."

<<ominous, scary music starts>>

<<Narrator>> Coming soon to a theater near you . . . the story of
a future too horrible to imagine until now! The most frightening
spectacle to hit this country since the Carter Presidency.
Hillary Clinton seemed simple and unassuming, until she moved
into the White House. Then she became a maniacal, power-hungry
psycho, in "Single White Female."

<<Hillary>> You said the "F-word" - Family values! Go to your
room, Willie!

<<Narrator>> Bill Clinton's advisers tried to shut her up, but
once she moved in, it was all over!

<<Hillary>> Willie, come here! <<whimpering sounds>> Sit!
<<panting sounds>> Now go fetch my paper! Good, Willie!

<<Narrator>> There's a stranger in the house, and she's running
the show!

<<Hillary>> You made a cabinet appointment without asking me?!?
Who's in charge around here?!

<<Narrator>> Hillary Clinton is holding her husband and the
entire country hostage in "Single White Female."

<<Hillary>> Smell the glove, Willie!

<<Narrator>> She's married to Bill Clinton, but she has the
ability to cause more damage than any single woman in history.

<<Hillary>> Now let's see that State of the Union address.

<<Narrator>> This is one nightmare you may not be able to wake up
from. Coming soon from a theater near you!

Phone   Hildy from San Diego, CA

Hildy heard the caller on Friday who complained about MTV's
biased coverage of the Republican convention. Hildy therefore
took some notes about their coverage - during one segment, MTV
showed Quayle's "Murphy Brown" speech and they then went to the
convention floor to ask delegates what they thought family values
meant. After a couple of interviews, the anchor then went to an
"expert" who would tell the audience what family values really
are.

This expert was Jonathan Alter, managing editor of Newsweek, who
said "when Republicans talk about family values, what they're
saying is there should be no gay rights, they want you to think
about Clinton's womanizing, and they're dumping on welfare
mothers." Rush comments that he met Alter for the first time
during the convention, and he has read much of Alter's work.
Alter is right on many issues, but is dead wrong on this one.
Family values have nothing to do with an anti-gay attitude.

Hildy says that MTV then went back to the convention floor where
their anchor asked Dan Rather "just who are the cultural elite."
Rather smugly answered "you know, I don't really know who the
cultural elite are. In fact, I'm not really sure the Republicans
know who they are. Maybe they don't even exist." The cameras then
showed a close-up of Rather shaking hands with the MTV "reporter"
as they both chuckled at this witticism.

This made Hildy think of Quayle's remark "when they laugh at me,
they are laughing at you," and she came away with the impression
that MTV was indeed laughing at her, her mother, and her father.
When she talked to her father about this, though, he said that
this sort of thing would only hurt the Democrats - people who are
going to vote Democrat will do so, no matter what. However,
people who are undecided, and who are fedup with Bush, are going
to run away from the Democrats because they don't like the types
of people who are attaching themselves to the Democratic party.

Rush praises Hildy for "stepping into it with both feet," and she
comments that she wears her Dittohead T-shirt well. Rush says
that what Hildy has said is profound - the people who associate
themselves with Bill Clinton show why it is valid to link Woody
Allen with the Democratic party. The people who ridicule family
values are the ones who are standing next to Clinton. The people
who think that there is no right and wrong are the ones who are
giving him their support.

This is why Democrats lose elections, and this is why the party
is trying to keep these people quiet. This is why Hillary Clinton
has been silenced, and why the feminazis have muted themselves.
Rush praises Hildy for being "brilliant," and he asks her how she
is going to vote. Hildy replies "oh man, but I don't think there
is a choice." Rush knows that Hildy is not enthusiastic about
Bush, but "by hook or by crook" he is going to get her vote
because she doesn't want Clinton's power-brokers to get into
power. "You got it," she states.

*BREAK*

Kit Carson and Mike Mamone both ask Rush if it's okay if they
talk to the "author" who is writing an unauthorized biography
about him. He replies that it's fine by him, and he even asks
them to "make up some dirt and sleaze" so that there's at least
some spicy stuff to read in it. For example, they could suggest
that Rush has an illegitimate child living in Arkansas.
