2004 (once we fix that dang Constitution)">>

MORNING UPDATE

Clinton's tax ideas are a joke, his health care policies are
stupid, and his foreign policy is dangerous, but Rush admits that
he may be wrong about Wilhelm von Slick Willie's economic plan.
In fact, Clinton's plan may be the best solution for the US
economy. Rush asks how much Gennifer Flowers was earning when she
met Clinton - perhaps only $12,000 a year as a cheap saloon
singer and lowly TV infobabe?

Now, though, after meeting Clinton, Flowers is expected to make
at least $500,000 for her upcoming Playboy spread, not to mention
the $50,000 she got for telling her story to the tabloids. Thus,
Flowers has benefited greatly from Clinton's economic plan, and
her example may spur other women to vote for Clinton in November.
This could result in a big, big gender gap that would benefit
Clinton.

FIRST HOUR

Update  Slick Willie         (Johnny Preston, "Charming Billy")

There might be a smoking gun for old Slick Willie - Rush recalls
how so many Democrats were begging President Bush to "stop the
slaughter" back in March, 1991. EIB's Memory Division has found
the evidence that proves his point, and in fact Rush used this
information during the rehearsal of his TV show last night. The
information is even now being faxed back to Rush from the TV
studios, and he promises that it will be "astounding."

A listener sent Rush a transcript of Albert Gore's appearance on
Nightline on January 18, 1991. Gore talked about the Gulf War and
stated "we must do everything available, short of sending ground
troops into Baghdad." Yet now Clinton and Gore are criticizing
Bush for not sending troops into Baghdad. Gore refused, though,
to provide any specifics on how he would remove Hussein from
power except to say the following:

"We have a lot of options at our disposal. We control 100% of his
air space, 100% of the imports going into Iraq, 100% of his oil
being exported. We have a coalition in the United Nations
coalesced behind our leadership. We could institute and we should
institute proceedings to indict Saddam Hussein for the war crimes
that we should now document. We can initiate proceedings to
suspend them from the United Nations, and we can make it clear
that all these and other efforts are geared to remove him and his
government from power."

Thus, Gore had thought that all the world had to do was to indict
Hussein and bring him to trial, using sanctions as the main
weapon. Now, though, Clinton is claiming that if he had been
President, he would have "listened to Norman Schwarzkopf." Rush
is aghast at how Clinton is rewriting history, but the evidence
he has from people like George Mitchell and Tom Foley shows the
truth about what Democrats were saying back in 1991.

Also, today's Los Angeles Times reports that Clinton's late uncle
carried on an active lobbying effort in March, 1968 to prevent
Clinton from being drafted. Clinton has refused to comment on
this story except to say that "everyone involved is now dead and
I said everything I had to say on this subject at the American
Legion."

Rush points out that Clinton wrote in his own hand that he
loathed the military, but he told the American Legion that "I was
never against the heroic men who served." This is in addition to
Clinton's claims that neither Lincoln or Reagan served in the
military, which is untrue.

A friend of his told Rush that "everyone was doing this, everyone
wanted out of the war." Rush replied "yeah, but they aren't
running for President." Rush doesn't want someone who loathes the
military and who was a rock-throwing, dope-smoking protestor in
the 60s to be President today. Even if Clinton was right about
Reagan and Lincoln not serving about the military, Rush doesn't
want a draft-dodger who hates the military to be President.

Rush does praise the liberal LA Times for printing this story,
and the Washington Post has also picked up the story. Rush is
amazed, though, that he is actually congratulating the press for
doing a rare thing - doing their job by telling the truth.
Unfortunately, the brave reporter or editor who was responsible
for this will undoubtedly be fired, and end up working for some
tabloid. However, this person can at least have the satisfaction
of knowing he did the right thing.

The EIB staff delivers the "smoking gun" evidence that Rush used
last night for his TV show rehearsal, and he promises to reveal
it later in the show. However, before he goes to the break, Rush
points out that in his appearance before the American Legion
Clinton did not mention that he thanked a recruitment center
colonel for "saving me from the draft." Clinton also didn't
bother to point out that he never did fulfil his promise to join
the ROTC.

*BREAK*

Rush reads from the February 28, 1991 edition of the Washington
Post - "Members of Congress cheered President Bush's call for a
cease-fire last night and many praised him for not sending
military forces near Baghdad and forcing Iraqi President Saddam
Hussein from power." Some members of Congress said that to do
this would have risked the US's standing in the region and
threatened peace in the middle east. In addition, Congress
members said that invading Baghdad might not be necessary because
Hussein would be ousted by his own people.

Rep. Dave McCurdy (D-OK) praised Bush for "staying within the
objectives of the UN resolutions. To go beyond that would have
undermined what we have gained in this Allied effort." Senator
Christopher Dodd (D-CT) said that the "world breathes easier
because US military forces did the job they were asked to do."
Senator Sam Nunn (D-GA) was "very pleased that the war was over"
and said that the cease-fire was "welcome news."

Senator Al Gore (D-TN) said "we must be as clear-minded to find a
durable peace in the region as we have been in dealing with
Saddam." Thus, Gore was complimenting the way Hussein was treated
and dealt with. Rush points out that the war was the last option
chosen, after everything else under the sun, including sanctions,
was tried. Richard Gephardt even threatened to withhold funding
from the troops back in December, 1990. Rush promises to give
more evidence of Democratic hypocrisy after the break.

*BREAK*

Phone   John from Columbus, IN

John likes a lot of what Rush has to say but he thinks that
people should still be able to look back at the Gulf War and see
what has and has not been done. John doesn't think anything has
been changed at all in the region. Rush says that a lot has
changed - for one thing, Hussein cannot wage war like he did in
1990.

John asks if this is really true, then what are US troops doing
back in the region? Rush says that the troops are there to
enforce the UN sanctions and protect the Shiites in the southern
region of Iraq. The UN and US objectives never included taking
Saddam out, but every time Hussein has bluffed and blustered
against them, the US and UN have faced him and have forced him to
back down. Sure, Hussein is talking tough about taking back
Kuwait, but he has responded to the no-fly zone by not sending
his aircraft up.

Rush bets that Hussein would love being able to point out on
January 20, 1993 that he was still in power while Bush was not.
This would only increase his own power in the region. However,
Hussein's power has been severely reduced, especially in the area
of nuclear weapons. John, though, thinks that regardless of the
UN objectives and resolutions, the US should still have gone to
the UN and gotten a resolution for getting Hussein out of power.

Rush says that this was an unrealistic objective - Hussein has
dozens of doubles in Baghdad and a bunker that's half a mile
deep. Nobody knows where Hussein is at any particular time, and
it would have taken a door-to-door operation to find him. Rush
asks if John is really willing to risk thousands and thousands of
American lives just to find Hussein? Even if the US thought they
had him, it could be only a double, and the real Hussein could
surface somewhere else.

Besides, Rush thinks that the US did try to kill Hussein, and he
recalls the bunker full of high officials and their families that
was bombed. He suspects that Hussein was in or about this bunker
and only narrowly escaped with his life.

What's interesting is that right after the war, Bush had an 85%
approval rating and thus every Democrat was praising Bush and the
way the war was executed. They did this even though they had
attacked the war from the very beginning. Now that Bush's rating
is much lower, though, these same Democrats are claiming that
they would have done things differently and would have gone on to
"finish off" Hussein.

This hypocrisy offends Rush; he can understand why people might
think the Gulf War was a "failure" because Hussein is still in
power, but it's another thing for these Democrats to claim that
they were behind the war all the way, when it's clear that they
were not. John agrees - this hypocrisy offends him as well.

*BREAK*

Rush is now documented to be right 98.1% all the time. He was at
97.9% before, and for him to go up a measly 0.2% means that he
had to be 100% correct for a long period of time. Rush knows that
he will never be correct 100% because he has already been wrong a
couple of times, so these small gains are a tremendous victory.

Phone   Paul from Chippewa Falls, WI

Paul wonders if Rush has faxed this information about Clinton to
the Bush campaign, and Rush says that he hasn't - if James Baker
needs Rush to send this stuff to him, then the Bush team is in
"heap big trouble." The Washington Post today contains a number
of these items, so they should be easily accessible to the Bush
campaign. Rush also hopes that the Bush people are searching for
the same quotes he has found and read today.

Paul says that he has heard this information only from Rush, and
Rush replies that this is fine - he can handle this load. Plus,
Rush will soon be able to make his points not only in his radio
show, but also in his newsletter and TV show. Thus, he has no
worries that this information will be heard across the nation.

Phone   Chas from Kansas City, MO

Chas watched the Republican convention with two friends who were
staunch Clinton supporters. Thanks to the convention and to
Rush's show, these friends were converted and will now vote for
Bush. Chas says that hearing the truth from Rush and from the
convention speakers was the antidote to the bias that is being
propagated by the half-hour news programs. Rush is flattered and
pleased to hear this.

Chas also thinks that the multiple extensions of unemployment
benefits are one reason why the unemployment rate is staying so
high. He knows several people who could go back to work today but
are preferring to live off the government. Rush doesn't know how
many people do this, but it is clear that the continual extension
of benefits is a disincentive to finding work.

*BREAK*

Rush figures out that the people calling in to today's show are a
"little odd" because 1) his computer screen shows only two
callers and 2) Bo is losing his temper with a number of callers.
Rush, of course, does not tolerate rudeness towards callers in
his call screeners, but Bo usually doesn't have problems with
this.

Bo gives one example of the type of callers he's dealing with
today - one said that "Rush goes too far sometimes in talking
about Mary Jo Kopacheenee [sic]." Rush says that Bo should have
kept that caller on-line because Rush might be able to learn
something from such a person. Rush adds that the QE2, although
not totally ship-shape yet, has left port for Germany; they have
discovered, though, that the ship did not hit an underwater shelf
as initially believed. The ship actually hit a 1969 Oldsmobile.

Phone   Tim from Lansing, MI

Tim thinks that Rush is too tactful in his comments about "Slick
Willie's military service." Rush has Tim repeat this remark for
the benefit of the Associated Press reporter who's in the studio
doing a story on Rush. Tim says that Clinton is either a
pathological liar or incredibly stupid if he believes that he can
keep the truth about his past from surfacing.

Rush plays Devil's Advocate and asks Tim if he thinks the
American voter in this post-Cold War era cares that much for a
Presidential candidate's devotion to the military. Tim doesn't
think so because Americans tend to be short-sighted and ignore
the past of a candidate to ask "what have you done for me
lately?"

Rush says that Clinton is waffling on this issue, and is trying
to play both sides. Above all, Clinton is slick and simply isn't
telling the truth, on this and many other issues.

*BREAK*

SECOND HOUR

Rush recalls that when Dan Quayle was named Vice President, he
instantly became the butt of an unceasing barrage of jokes for
four years. In May, Quayle made one comment about the contents of
one TV show, and a number of polls showed that a lot of the
American people supported what Quayle had to say about family
values. In fact, Quayle's comment about family values struck such
a nerve with the American people that family values became a
major political topic throughout the summer.

Thus, a man that the left had considered to be a boob and
incompetent bozo set the agenda for both the Republicans and
Democrats, and the Democrats went out of their way at the
convention to show that they did indeed have family values. The
battle became more vicious, and in the Emmy Awards one person
after another acted as if Quayle had personally attacked them
with his one-sentence comment.

Yesterday's New York Times had a story by Bernard Weintraub about
how "after months of political attack, the cultural elite fire
back." The story recaps the left's orgy of Quayle-bashing, and
adds that the left's attacks "angered Mr. Quayle. He glanced at
notes on index cards and said `Murphy, you owe me big time.'"
Thus, Quayle is supposedly such an idiot that he can't even say
one sentence without consulting the notes that his staff has
written for him.

Rush says that television makes it almost impossible for anyone
to speak extemporaneously. At the Emmy Awards, as well as almost
everywhere else on TV, there are teleprompters from which the
various people read their speeches and such. Some people may
memorize their acceptance speeches, but Rush wonders why
Weintraub never mentioned these "electronic index cards."

Bruce Herschenshon and Elaine Boozler were on Crossfire last
night discussing if Hollywood blackballs conservatives unless
they're a major star like Charlton Heston. Boozler claimed that
this wasn't true and said that comedy doesn't lend itself to
conservatives because conservatism "just doesn't lend itself to
comedy." Boozler says that she has been on the staff of many
shows and none of them ever discussed politics.

Rush recalls how on Thursday of last week he received the script
for the season premiere of Murphy Brown. This script was sent to
him by someone who works in Hollywood and who was afraid that if
he was identified, he'd lose his job. This man has to keep his
political affiliations secret so that he can continue to work.
Rush says that this man should be concerned about this because he
would be ostracized by his associates in Hollywood if they knew
he was a conservative.

For someone to deny that there is a bias against conservatives
and Christians is unbelievable in itself. This is the United
States of America yet someone has to be worried about keeping his
political thoughts to himself. Bruce Herschenshon tried to show
the bias that exists in Hollywood, but he was unable to mention
the names of people he knows that are affected by this because he
didn't want to damage their careers.

It's also ridiculous for Hollywood to claim that its shows only
reflect society as opposed to trying to influence society and its
mores. Rush points to Ted Turner's cartoon Captain Planet that
teaches kids how evil businesses are because they pollute the
earth. Turner isn't trying to illustrate what is happening, but
is trying to indoctrinate these kids.

The real problem in all this, though, is not that Hollywood does
this but that Hollywood won't admit it does this. A listener from
Richmond writes about an editorial in the Atlanta Journal and
Constitution that states "Liberal Media is Gross Exaggeration."
The editorial says that the media does make mistakes, but that
it's foolish to think that the media is liberal. As examples of
this, the editorial points to conservative columnists and
conservative editorial pages.

Plus, "radio talk shows are overwhelmingly dominated by right-
wing ideas," and in particular the editorial singles out Rush who
"constantly complains that the liberals control the media but he
is proof conservatives have a powerful voice. How strange that
the very Republicans who say individuals must take responsibility
for their actions don't urge Americans to take responsibility for
what they read and watch."

Rush says that this is "wrongo," too. Rush tells people
constantly not to believe everything they read, and to get their
news from multiple sources and evaluate it themselves. However,
the big difference with Rush is that he is not a journalist. Rush
can't be a journalist because he laughs and actually enjoys life.
Also, conservative columnists aren't journalists either.

When conservatives complain about the liberal media, they are
talking about the news that is reported on a newspaper's front
page, or which is reported on ABC World News Tonight. If these
institutions, though, want to have a liberal bias, that's fine,
but once again they should at least admit their bias. The problem
with the media, as with Hollywood, is that they continue to claim
that they're objective and that they don't have a liberal bent.
This, of course, is what Clinton and Gore are doing even now.

The fact that the Atlanta editorial has to use conservative
columnists and editorial pages to find a conservative philosophy
shows the liberal bias that exists in the news reporting. This is
what conservatives find so objectionable - the editorializing
that occurs in what is supposed to be objective, balanced
reporting.

If the media would just admit that this is what they do, people
wouldn't be so disturbed by it. Rush talked to Michael Kinsley
who is bothered by the perception people have that he is biased.
Rush told him, though, that it's impossible for anyone who thinks
to be totally objective. Kinsley then asked "why don't you tell
L. Brent Bozo that?!" Kinsley was referring to Brent Bozell who
runs the Media Research Center which documents the liberal bias
of the media.

Rush says that Bozell understands this point, but the point of
contention is not that the liberal bias exists but that liberals
claim it doesn't. Rush has never made any bones about his biases
- he is conservative and does not want Clinton elected. Rush,
though, has never told people that he will criticize the things
he supports just so that he can be perceived as "balanced."
Liberals, though, seem incapable of admitting this.

*BREAK*

Phone   Brenda from Walnut Creek, CA

Brenda says that the Washington Post has reported that Gore
collects $20,000 a year from zinc strip mining on his property.
The article has related how Gore's father initially acquired the
land in a somewhat shifty manner. Brenda was surprised to find
this article in the first place, but wonders why this story
hasn't been more widely reported.

Rush says that this doesn't surprise him, but he does wonder why
nobody has attacked the Quayle family newspaper for single-
handedly destroying America's forests. Of course, newspapers
aren't going to attack Quayle for this since they would have to
blame themselves as well. However, Rush promises to find the
story on Gore and look into it some more.

Phone   Jimbo from Alexandria, LA

Jimbo gives "Jambo Jambone X dittos" and Rush recalls how one
listener thought that Bo was not properly representing his
cultural heritage and thus should start calling himself "Jambo
Jambone X." Jimbo says that this is one reason he likes Rush -
Rush knows how to have fun. Rush tells Jimbo to keep quiet about
that because, according to Elaine Boozler, conservatives are
congenitally incapable of being funny. Rush bets Boozler changes
her tune, though, once his TV show starts.

Jimbo wants to talk about why the Republican convention never
mentioned the Supreme Court. Rush calls this a good question and
will answer it after the break.

*BREAK*

Rush address Jimbo's question about why the Republicans never
mentioned the Supreme Court during their convention. Rush doesn't
know but the convention was already jampacked with subjects and
thus there simply may not have been any opportunities to discuss
this subject. He can understand this because it's what he faces
every day - each morning he sits down at a desk that is full of
faxes, letters, email, newspaper clippings, etc. and there simply
isn't enough time to talk about it all. Thus, Rush takes a
spontaneous approach to his show.

However, a political convention is normally highly structured.
Rush, though, isn't sure if any speakers did in fact talk about
Bush's Supreme Court appointments at some point. This issue is a
valid one, though, because the nomination of Supreme Court
Justices is an important Presidential function that should be of
interest to anyone who is interested in judicial integrity.

Whenever President Bush has sent a Justice appointment to the
Senate for confirmation, the Democrats have claimed that the
nominee must have passed some sort of pro-life litmus test. The
Senate Judiciary Committee then put the person through a wringer
in an attempt to "expose" his true beliefs. Yet, when a chance
came to overturn Roe vs. Wade, two Reagan/Bush appointments,
Justices Souter and Kennedy, voted to keep Roe intact.

Rush wonders how this can be if Bush really had a litmus test for
his Justices. Liberals answer by claiming that Souter and Kennedy
"grew and matured" while on the Court. However, is it not Bill
Clinton who has specifically stated that he will indeed have a
litmus test for his Supreme Court appointments? Isn't it Clinton
who has stated that he will demand allegiance to the pro-choice
agenda and to Roe vs. Wade from any potential Supreme Court
nominees?

Putting abortion aside, Rush wonders how the country would react
if Clinton demanded a litmus test on busing, the death penalty,
or whatever. If this were done, there would be no judicial
integrity left in the Court. You can't demand that a Justice
decide in advance how he will vote on any particular issue. This
whole concept out to scare anyone who cares about the American
judiciary.

It doesn't scare liberals, though, because the only way
liberalism has advanced its agenda during the past 20 years is
through the Supreme Court. Liberals don't care if the judiciary
has any integrity because they want to implement the policies
that they can't get implemented through the legislative branch of
government (unless, of course, the President makes a mistake and
agrees with the liberal Congress).

Rush therefore hopes that the Republicans do remind people of
this issue and ask them if they can trust Clinton to appoint
proper Justices to the Supreme Court.

Phone   Laura from Fairfield, OH

Laura tried to call Rush after the Democratic convention
highlighted a mother with AIDS (Elizabeth Glazer) whose child
also died of AIDS. She was furious about this because she doesn't
think this sort of thing belongs in a political convention. This
issue is particularly offensive to her because her own child died
of a rare disease that has almost no research being done on it.
Even so, Laura would never think that a political convention was
the place for her to tell her story about it.

Rush comments that his book talks about Glazer and how he was
impressed by her efforts in setting up the Pediatric AIDS
Foundation. However, he was shocked that Glazer would make the
statement that her child didn't survive the Reagan
administration. Rush again points out that man has yet to find a
cure for any virus, so how could anyone expect one in three
years?

Laura thinks that Glazer was showing the displaced anger that is
common in these situations. The President just happens to be a
convenient target for this anger. Rush comments that Glazer,
though, asked Reagan for help in setting up her foundation, and
Reagan responded by doing a 30-second commercial for her, by
donating money to the foundation, and by serving on the
foundation's Board of Directors. Rush is a contributor to this
foundation and has received many letters that have Reagan's name
on the masthead.

Glazer, however, seems to have forgotten all this as she has
adopted the typical AIDS activist viewpoint. However, if Glazer
should have been at any convention, she should have been at the
Republican convention. Laura was furious that the Democrats gave
a spotlight to Glazer, but she was doubly furious when the
Republicans did the same thing. Mary Fisher claimed that AIDS was
"not a political issue," but if this is so then why was she
speaking at a political convention?

Laura has lost her own child and understands how Fisher and
Glazer feel, but she doesn't think that the government owes her
any research money for her particular disease. Rush says that he
doesn't mind the government being involved in finding cures for
any disease, although he is offended by how AIDS has been
politicized.

Rush comments, though, that he was seated next to Gerald and
Betty Ford at the convention that night, and the Fords were taken
by Fisher's speech. Rush had to leave the convention floor before
Fisher finished her speech, and he was amazed that every soul in
the Astrodome had their entire attention fixed on Fisher. Nobody
even noticed Rush as he left, which shows how powerful and
riveting Fisher's speech was.

Rush, though, wishes that Fisher had said a couple more things,
and he has been hoping that callers would have come up with these
things on their own. Laura agrees that Fisher's speech was
moving, but it was not appropriate to politicize this disease in
such a manner. Rush comments that Fisher's father, Max Fisher, is
a very large contributor to the Republican party, and this was
part of the reason why Mary spoke.

However, there was also a lot of feeling within the party that
the Republicans had to refute the cliched charge that Republicans
don't care about anyone. By having Fisher speak, the GOP could
show that they are people who have hearts and feelings.

*BREAK*

Rush returns to the politics of AIDS, and he comments that under
normal circumstances the way that Fisher contracted AIDS would be
irrelevant. However, Fisher tried to make the point in her speech
that anyone could get AIDS, that her circumstances were common,
and that everyone was equally vulnerable to this disease.

Rush would prefer not to discuss this, but he has no choice since
AIDS has taken on its own set of politics. Fisher, though,
acquired AIDS from her ex-husband during marital intercourse; the
percentage of women who have gotten AIDS this way is incredibly
small. The ex-husband was either bisexual or a drug user, and it
was his risky behavior together with his dishonesty towards his
wife that allowed Mary Fisher to get AIDS.

Fisher is certainly totally innocent in how she acquired AIDS,
but it's clear she did get infected through a very uncommon way
that is not representative of how most victims are infected. Even
in cases like this, AIDS transmission still requires at least one
spouse to be engaging in risky behavior. Thus for Fisher to claim
that AIDS can happen to anybody and that she is proof of this is
somewhat deceitful and misleading.

*BREAK*

The black community has not been very happy with the Democratic
party recently. The first inklings of this discontent were seen
in Spike Lee's call for blacks to boycott school and work so that
they could see his film on Malcolm X. Then Charles Rangle warned
that blacks would not vote for Clinton because the Democrats
don't care about blacks. Louis Farrakhan then chimed in with his
statement that blacks should have a "mind to kill."

Now, General David Dinkins of New York is trying to play
peacemaker between Rangle and Clinton. Rush says that he would
like to join Dinkins in this regard and thus tells Clinton that
he must start pandering - uh, listening - to the black leadership
in America. Clinton will not be true to his party if he doesn't
do everything possible to get every black vote he can in
November.

Clinton should just listen to Jesse Jackson, Charles Rangle, and
Louis Farrakhan and do whatever they want so that he can show
that the Democratic party is the only hope blacks and minorities
have in America.

*BREAK*

THIRD HOUR

Items

o       Rush again mentions the "smoking gun" discovered by the
LA Times that reveals Bill Clinton's uncle worked hard to keep
Clinton out of the draft during the 60s. The retired naval
officer who headed the naval research center in Hot Springs, AK,
has confirmed the stories about Clinton's uncle.

o       A lot of people are asking Rush for details about which
TV stations will be airing his upcoming TV show, but Rush can't
provide this information. However, he can say that his show will
premiere on September 14th, and it will be on from 183 to 190
stations. The only major city that won't have Rush's show on the
air is Washington, DC. The only TV station in that area that was
interested in his show wanted to run it at 5:30 a.m., but Rush
refused. He's confident, though, that when his show becomes a
hit, the DC TV stations will be begging him for it.

About 25 TV stations are running the show during the day, while
most are running it at night. Thus, listeners will have to check
their local listings.

o       Among the many victims of Hurricane Andrew are 50,000
homeless pets. Rush is glad to see that this important story has
finally been mentioned, but he wonders why President Bush hasn't
said one word about these poor animals. A related story says that
ASPCA shelters across the East Coast are housing displaced pets
until their owners can reclaim them. Rush says this story
supposedly quotes a cocker spaniel as voicing his disgust that
the US can send troops to Kuwait, but can't do anything about all
of the homeless animals that are suffering now.

o       A New York judge ignored a woman's pleas for mercy and
sentenced her to prison for 27 to 55 years for her role in the
rape of a college student. The state Supreme Court Justice
condemned the woman for helping her husband rape the 21-year old
victim and said that "what happened to that young woman should
not have happened to anybody."

o       "Experts" in Los Angeles are surprised that the spring
riots are "still costing area businesses and residents." A number
of Korean and other shop owners are taking their insurance
settlements and government aid and moving to other, more secure
areas. Rush attacks these evil businessmen for just taking their
money and running to more peaceful areas. "What happens - there's
a little riot and everybody wants to leave. Nobody has any
patience or compassion anymore!"

o       Bill Clinton has asked the Federal Election Commission
for an additional $2.6 million so that he can pay off bills from
the primary season. Clinton ended his primary campaign in $1.9
million in debt. Rush is curious about this since in July the
Democrats collected $16 million, making it their best month for
fund-raising in years. Rush suggests that instead of going to the
FEC, Clinton should just talk to Ron Brown.

o       Five tent cities in Homestead, FL don't officially open
until tomorrow, and the army is still hooking up electricity and
sanitary facilities; however, about 30 homeless people already
spent their first night in the tents.

o       Sears is trying to repair the public relations damage
that occurred after their California auto repair stores were
accused of bilking consumers out of millions of dollars in
unneeded or faulty repairs. According to a deal it made with
state regulators, Sears will give discount coupons to thousands
of customers so that it can remain in the auto repair business in
California.

Rush adds that part of this agreement requires the company to
place plastic Jesus statues on every cash register. He tries to
continue on to the next story, but the EIB staff insists that he
explain this remark. Rush says that back in 1977 he lived in
Kansas City, making $175 a week. He had a 1972 Buick Riviera that
needed repairs, and so he took it to a mechanic he felt he could
trust because the guy had a plastic statue of Jesus on his cash
register.

The mechanic hooked up his ultra-modern diagnostics machine to
Rush's car, and after much investigation told Rush that the
problem was a "busted disgronificator." Rush, being a young naive
pup who knew nothing about how cars worked, believed this. He
adds that to this day he knows nothing about cars except that you
put the key in the ignition, turn the shift selector to "P" and
go. The EIB staff points out that if one really wishes to drive
one's car, one should set the shift selector to "D." Rush says
that he has never figured out the difference between "D1" and
"D2" and this is why he's hired a driver.

Going back to his story, the mechanic told Rush that a new
disgronificator would cost $800, and Rush's Mastercard had only a
$300 limit. The mechanic, though, said that if Rush didn't fix
this now, his car would start to deteriorate so rapidly that it
would eventually catch on fire when he started it. However, the
mechanic cut Rush a "deal" and did the repair for only $600. It
was only much later in life that Rush found out that there was no
such thing as a disgronificator, at least in 1972 Buick Rivieras.

Rush hopes that this story has explained to people why he made
his comment about plastic Jesus statues being on Sears' cash
registers.

Phone   Judy from Bethlehem, PA

Judy saw a concert by Lou Rawls a couple of weeks ago, and Rawls
pulled a Bo Diddley. Rush explains to his 480-plus new listeners
every second that Bo Diddley was part of a 50s rock-and-roll show
in Reno, NV. During his set, Diddley started trashing Bush and
praising Clinton, which caused half the crowd to boo and leave
the auditorium.

Judy says that after doing a few songs, Rawls also started
preaching about the evils of Reaganomics and how all of the new
jobs that Bush is promising are all in Mexico. He also stated
that the US should not send any money to Russia but just keep it
at home. Judy was disappointed that she seemed to be the only one
in the crowd who was upset about this.

Rush says that Judy lives in a liberal bastion of union blue-
collar workers and so this sort of reaction should be expected.
However, even if this reaction was disappointing, this country is
still America and it allows entertainers to mix politics with
their acts. However, most entertainers can't pull this kind of
thing off, and they certainly aren't as successful at it as Rush
himself is.

Phone   Michael from Croton-on-Hudson, NY

Michael asks why black conservative leaders such as Thomas Sowell
are ignored, while Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan are always
in the news. Michael also hates seeing people like Leonard
Jeffries continually attempt to keep this country divided. Rush
replies that conservative black leaders are ignored because they
are conservative and because they encourage blacks to empower
themselves and become self-sufficient. This sort of attitude
would destroy the power that black "leaders" such as Charles
Rangle enjoy.

Rush again says that what made America great is not "leaders,"
"programs," or "tax increases," but the American people. Shelby
Steele wrote about this very subject in a recent issue of Harpers
magazine, and he exposed the real agenda of black leaders who
want to keep their constituencies dependent on them.

Phone   Brian from Kearns, UT

Brian remarks on Clinton's claim that he will raise taxes so as
to increase federal revenues; however, every time taxes have been
raised in recent history, Congress has spent twice as much as
what was collected in new spending. Rush says that Congress does
spend about $1.79 for every dollar collected in taxes.

Rush adds that Clinton's claims are also suspect because he
simply cannot collect the money he says he will - the money isn't
there in the first place. All Clinton is doing is engaging in the
traditional liberal politics of class envy and tax-the-rich. In
order to raise revenues, you have to do one of two things - cut
taxes to encourage economic growth or raise taxes on the middle
class, which is the only source of any real money in America.

The middle class is still alive and well in America, and they are
the ones who are tired of the ever-increasing burdens being
levied on them by Washington. Michael agrees.

Phone   Muriel from Plainview, IL

Muriel says that the Democrats are complaining about how Bush is
handling the Hurricane Andrew disaster. Rush says that Bush can't
win on this - first, he went to Florida immediately after Andrew
hit, and he was accused of milking the disaster for political
reasons. Then two days later he was accused of not acting quickly
enough to help the hurricane's victims.

Now, Bush is being attacked again for his statement that he would
not close Homestead Air Force Base. Critics are claiming Bush is
supporting the air base only because it's an election year. The
New York Times today complains about how the "power of the
incumbency" gives the President an unfair advantage during a
Presidential campaign. Bush simply can't win in this situation,
no matter what he does.

Muriel says that if anyone is playing politics right now it is
the draft-dodging Clinton who claims he is a firm supporter of
the military and is qualified to be Commander-in-Chief. Muriel's
husband fought in WWII, and she has no patience for what Clinton
did to avoid his military service obligation. And now Clinton is
claiming Bush is playing politics with the current natural
disaster.

Muriel also has never heard women who support abortion answer the
following question - how would you feel if your mother had
aborted you? Rush says that those women, of course, would not be
here, but in the feminist logic that is not necessarily a bad
thing since it means they would not have suffered. According to
the pro-choice crowd, to live means to suffer, and thus it is
perfectly all right to abort a child so that it will never know
life and thus never know all of the suffering and misery that is
attendant to life. Of course, there has not been one child born
who has not suffered or been miserable at some point in his life.

Update  Condom         (Fifth Dimension, "Up, Up, and Away")

In Waupun, Wisconsin Monday, hundreds of condoms were dropped by
an airplane on Monday. However, the condoms missed their intended
destination - a prison - and instead landed in the yards of
neighboring homes. Police say, though, that there was only one
complaint - from a man who noticed 50 "shiny" things in his yard.

This unauthorized condom drop at the maximum security prison was
part of an AIDS awareness effort conducted by the ACTUP branch in
Madison. Prison officials have collected the few condoms that
landed within the prison walls and are holding them as
contraband, since condoms are forbidden in state prisons.

ACTUP claims it released the condoms to promote safe sex and to
protect inmates from the possibility of getting AIDS. Rush
refuses to comment any more about this, and encourages his
audience to end the update with their own observations, which he
is sure will be the correct ones.

Rush closes his segment with his commercial for EIB's new horror
movie - "Single White Female."

<<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   Robert from Palo Alto, CA

Robert comments that California now has a budget, thanks to
Governor Pete Wilson's refusal to cave in to the Democrats.
Robert contrasts President Bush, who caved in to Democratic
demands in 1990, with Governor Wilson, who stood tough for 60
days and has ended up with a balanced budget without major tax
increases. California Democrats, though, are trying to claim that
this budget is a complete disaster which will devastate the
state's schools.

"Let 'em say it," states Rush, who points out that California
spends $6,000 per student per year. This budget battle was always
a power play between Governor Wilson and State School
Superintendent Bill Honig. Rush thinks Wilson did a good job with
this budget especially since in his first year as Governor,
Wilson did capitulate to the Democrats when he accepted a budget
with massive tax increases, including ridiculous taxes such as
those on snack foods and potato chips. And what happened as a
result? The state's budget deficit grew, just like the federal
budget grew after Bush caved in to the Democrats in 1990.

Businesses left California in droves because of the twin hits of
California's tax increases and federal tax increases. Wilson
therefore had no choice this year - he couldn't let the Democrats
get away with another budget like that. The bottom line for
Wilson, though, is how his steadfastness and tenacity have played
with the voters, and Rush asks Robert how Californians are
viewing Wilson now.

Robert says that he, as a registered Republican, is proud of
Wilson for standing up to Willie Brown and the other liberal
California Democrats. Wilson took a lot of heat during the budget
debate, especially when California started issuing IOUs in the
form of warrants. Democrats will be quick to remind voters of
these warrants during the next gubernatorial election.

Rush says that people in California may be getting so fed up with
political wheelers and dealers that they will vote out any
incumbents, no matter who they are. However, one thing is certain
- the liberal Democrats were soundly defeated in California's
budget deal, and many people elect conservatives and Republicans
precisely so that they will fight the liberals like this.

Wilson has provided a good lesson for Bush, though - many people
have said that in 1990 Bush should have refused to compromise
with the Democrats, just like Wilson did. And if the government
is shut down as a result, then fine - shut the government down
until a proper budget is submitted and passed.

Phone   Gary from Dayton, OH

After hearing liberals condemn Bush's AIDS policies, Gary started
looking into Clinton's views on the subject. Clinton opposes any
mandatory testing, such as that used for immigrants into the US,
or for members of the military and Peace Corps. In the official
Gore/Clinton press release, Clinton lists such AIDS tests as a
form of discrimination.

Rush had thought Clinton was a moderate and a centrist, so he is
somewhat confused at Clinton's very liberal position on this.
Gary adds that Clinton also wants to force health insurance
companies to give coverage to AIDS patients. Rush is further
confused because this means that Clinton wants the government to
control the health insurance business, and this is certainly part
of the liberal agenda. "I thought this guy was a moderate,"
states Rush. "This all sounds very LIBERAL to me," he remarks,
with a noticeable accent on the word "liberal."
