RUSH LIMBAUGH PROGRAM

         WWDB - 11/1/96   12:00 PM

         	Well in several key, strategic locations, ladies and 

         gentlemen, the presidential race is tightening.  For example, in 
         Georgia, it's now a dead heat and the gender gap - the arousal gap 
         doesn't exist.  We have details of this and other exciting stories 
         including a phenomenon last night - Halloween - that may have also 
         happened to you as it happened to Mr. Snerdley.  
         Announcer - This is a special edition of Rush Limbaugh Program -
         America, the way it ought to be.  And now from our studios in New 
         York City, here is Rush Limbaugh.  Live from New York, it's open 
         line Friday.
         Rush L. - Hey, hey, hey, that is exactly right my friends.  That 
         means that you are the ones that choose the subjects we discuss 
         today or at least have a bigger role in than usual.  Open Line 
         Friday, here is the telephone number - 800-282-2882.  Do you see 
         what - hey you military guys and I know that we have over a million 
         uniformed personnel around the world, tuning in to this hour of the 
         program and the Armed Forces radio network.  Cigarette prices are 
         going up 4 bucks a carton at PXs around the world.  It is an 
         attempt to dissuade smoking amongst our armed forces.  They already 
         receive pay at 14% below the private sector and now the cost of 
         cigarettes is going way, way up - man if anybody needs a break, if 
         anybody needs some down time, some relaxation, it's the men and 
         women of the U.S. Military.  To jack up their carton price by 4 
         bucks - why I thought this man respected and loved the members of 
         the U.S. military.  Anyway just a little side mention there because 
         I see Mr. Snerdley lighting up.  Here is the phone number if you 
         want to be on the program - 800-282-2882.  Mr. Snerdley came in 
         today, said something very provocative to me, upon arriving for 
         work at the massive EIB broadcast complex.  He came in today and 
         said, boy, you have nailed it, Rush, on the seasoned citizens.  I 
         said what?  I am going to tell you a story that Mr. Snerdley claims 
         happened last night.  He apparently opened his doors to the
         





         neighborhood's trick or treaters which I think is worthy of plaudit 
         in and of itself - I don't do that, but you willingly opened your 
         front door to the neighborhood's trick or treaters.  Mr. Snerdley 
         swears, ladies and gentlemen, that amongst - what would you say the 
         average age of the trick or treaters was last night.  The average 
         age was under 12 years old.  Admist a group of 12 year old who rang 
         the door bell at Snerdley's fashionable New Jersey residence last 
         night, there was in the group a senior citizen who was not 
         chaperoning but was out collecting free candy.  You insist that 
         this is true.  Now we've all put him under the microscope here and 
         said come on, this is a chaperon, I mean this is obviously a 
         grandmother taking the kids out.  Snerdley insists it wasn't a 
         grandmother because when the doorbell rang, this woman was first in 
         line to shove her bag in his face to get candy ahead of all the 
         under 12 year old.  She said she was in competition with the other 
         trick or treaters.  So it is apparently the point that Mr. Snerdley 
         is trying to make is that the certain senior citizens are out that 
         have gotten so much in the welfare state bandwagon that they looked 
         at you last night as a provider in the welfare state showed up for 
         free candy.  What were you giving away - typical candy.   Candy 
         Corns.  Do you know how many calories are in each candy corn 
         kernel?   Five point three calories - 5.3 calories per candy corn 
         kernel.  There are zero grams of fat but there are 5.3 calories per 
         candy corn kernel.  And you gave away a bunch of them.  Are you the 
         kind of guy that gives away one candy corn kernel to a spoonful? 
         Aw, individual wrap.  But that's not the way we do it.  We have a 
         big bowl of the things, you just rip your hand in there - here kid 
         - throw them loosely in the bag.  Okay.  But I don't know if this 
         happened anywhere else across America - Senior citizens joining the 
         youngsters of America trick or treating for freebies last night. 
         But there are those of us who continue to doubt Mr. Snerdley's 
         story, which is why I say that he claims.  How does it feel, how 
         does it feel to tell somebody something and then response being -
         Snerdly claims - how does it feel.  It feels like I'm a journalist 
         right, not believing anything you say.  
         





         	Jenny Jones, everybody is talking about Jenny Jones and 
         everybody is stunned - she looked like a total idiot up on the 
         witness stands.  She claimed that she doesn't know what goes on in 
         her show.  She doesn't have anything to do with putting it 
         together.  Folks, I'm sure she is telling the truth.  I have 
         television experience and I can tell you that there are probably 15 
         or 20 producers of that show that line it all up and she 
         robotically goes out and hosts it and maybe she does only a couple 
         of minutes or maybe an hour before show figure out that they are 
         going to do or is informed what they are going to do.  Now, one 
         thing though, don't forget this - she could be adding to the dumb 
         act.  She could really be laying it on thick.  She may 
         strategically want it said of her - she doesn't know anything about 
         this show; she has nothing to do with planning it; she has nothing 
         to do with anything other than doing what others tell her to do 
         because depending on how this trial comes out there could be a 
         civil case with money damages on the other side of this and I'm 
         sure she wants to insulate herself personally from that, because if 
         you note in this trial she is at odds with some of the producers of 
         this show who are claiming she knows a lot more about each show 
         than she is claiming to know.  But she is setting herself up for a 
         future trial - if there is one depending upon the outcome of this 
         one.  
         	Now folks there is tremendous amount of new information 
         regarding the scandals that are just surrounding the white House. 
         The press is starting to take note that the White House is 
         shielding Mr. Clinton from the reporters who are covering his 
         campaign.  If you've notice in the past two weeks the President has 
         not faced the reporters at all.  Dole has.  Clinton has not talked 
         to the press while all of this has erupted.  They are keeping him 
         shielded from the press so that he doesn't have to answer these 
         questions so that he can stay out there on his positive, uplifting 
         bridge to the 21st century scheme or scam of a campaign.  But 
         meanwhile the information continues to roll in and it continues to 
         pile up on the side of wrong, when it comes to raising money and
         





         who some of the shady characters are and what kind of access to the 
         White House they have had.  The Investors  Business Daily today has 
         done a tremendous job in spelling all this out.  We will go through 
         it in just a second.  First however, yesterday I made a flippant 
         off-hand comment about the economic  growth figure that the 
         Commerce Dept. put out.  They put out that the growth figure in the 
         most recent quarter, the U.S. economy was 2.2 % and I said if they 
         are saying it is 2.2%, can you imagine what it really is - meaning 
         it is a lot lower than that and they've blown it up - they are 
         exaggerating it.  A woman called and said how can you say that. 
         How do you know that they've fudged the figures.  But everybody 
         knows they fudged the figures  and I gave her examples of how the 
         labor department - the Bureau of Labor Statistics routinely adds 
         jobs every reporting period that they have no real factual 
         knowledge were ever created.  These are called bias factor jobs. 
         Well I have here my friends today's Investor Business Daily and 
         there is a story here called "Is Clinton Cooking the Books?"  And 
         let me just share with you some of the excerpts of this story. 
         During the debates, the President who has been criticized for weak 
         wage growth touted what appears to be a solid 2.7% gain in real 
         median income for American households.  Last years gain was 
         impressive because it was the first since 1989.  USA Today 
         concluded from the Census Report that families are beginning to 
         reap the benefits of a strong national economy but a closer look at 
         the numbers reveals that the report was misleading.  Real median 
         income fell 1% for full time working men.  It fell .6% for full 
         time working women, so who gained?  Strap yourselves in.  The 
         people who gained were jobless people and seasoned citizens.  A 
         whopping 57 million people came out ahead in this economy because 
         of a 2.3% rise in government social transfer payments.  They don't 
         stop to tell you how the income was derived.  They say income is 
         up, the real wages are up, income is up - in fact they don't say 
         real wages.  They said that there was a 2.7% gain in real median 
         income for American households - that's what they reported.  But if 
         you look at wage earners - 1% drop in median for full time working
         





         men, .6% drop for working women - so how do you get 2.7% - the 
         government gave away more money.  Government transfer payments went 
         up 2.3%.  Bill Clinton wants to say the government is smaller now 
         than it ever was since Civil War, JFK or whatever his bench mark 
         is.  The Government is growing.  This is precisely what people who 
         are opposed to government expansion are talking about.  Here is 
         another example and this is the one I addressed specifically 
         yesterday on this show with the caller.  Clinton boasts creating 
         10-1/2 million new jobs beating his, beating his 8 million job 
         goal.  Little reported though is the fact that the Bureau of Labor 
         Statistics used the fudge factor to come up with than 5 million of 
         the jobs, roughly half.  Each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics 
         adds to its payroll employment sample what's known as a jobs bias
         adjustment - the bias factor jobs I told you about yesterday - to 
         pick up any jobs that the survey misses.  For example a monthly 
         average, get this, a monthly average of 140,000 hypothetical jobs, 
         was added to the sample from July to September.  They just made 
         them up.  They just grabbed 140,000 jobs out of thin air and added 
         them to the total because they figured they had been created.  They 
         don't know but they think so. 
         	Paul Getz or Pat Getz, head of the BLS's bench marking unit 
         explains that the payroll sample under estimates, because if you 
         look back in time you'd know it's true.  But there's more, in June, 
         the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced a major bench mark 
         revision.  Now get this, in June my friends, the Bureau of Labor 
         Statistics - Clinton Administration - added 542,000 more jobs than 
         previously counted in the 12 months ended March 1995.  What that 
         means is that they just made up over half a million jobs, they just 
         created them out of fresh hair.  They just assumed that the economy 
         had created them.  And that figure is what enabled Clinton to say 
         he had created 10 million - that half a million is what put him 
         over the 10 million mark right around the convention so they could 
         run around and say that he had created 10 million jobs.  The fact 
         of the matter is that half of these 10-1/2 million jobs that 
         Clinton's running around saying have been created are jobs which
         





         have been made up by the Bureau of Labor Statistics over the four 
         years if the Clinton administration, that nobody can actually 
         count, that nobody can actually tangibly put their hands on.  They 
         just assume these jobs were created.  This stuff happens all the 
         time.  But the most amazing stat here once again, is how they 
         report a 2.7% increase in real median income and 2.3% of it comes 
         from people getting unemployment checks and social security checks. 
         It's a house of cards folks.  We'll be back.  We have just 
         scratched the surface as we always have at this time.  800-282-
         2882.  Stay with us, we'll be right back.
         Advertisements
         Rush L.  - We will be talking to Republican Presidential candidate 
         Bob Dole sometime during the program today. We are going to roll 
         with the time schedules and try to squeeze him in when he has some 
         time and we have some time and it certainly should happen sometime 
         before 3 o'clock because that's when the show is over and if it 
         doesn't happen before 3, it can't happen at least on this show.  In 
         order to guarantee that it does happen on this show.  800-282-2882. 
         	I've got to play you a little clip here from the little 
         general, Ross Perot.  He was in Buffalo yesterday and he had a 
         short little comment here on John Wong, lipro-suction and all of 
         these  campaign contributions scandals. 
         Ross Perot -  Recording
         Rush L. -  There you have it ladies and gentlemen, the little 
         general, weighing in on lipro-suction in his own inimitable style. 
         Keep in mind, keep in mind that it is illegal for foreigners to 
         contribute to presidential campaigns and I'm sure that's what the 
         little general, Ross Perot was referring to.  Here's news out of 
         Atlanta - this is polling data.  And by the way we're keeping a 
         sharp eye on the latest Zogby Blast Poll - yesterday they were at 
         7.7 percent, the difference between Clinton and Dole.  Perot was up 
         around 8.6 percent.  Yesterday CNN, USA Today had Perot up at 11; 
         Clinton at 49 and I think Dole at 37 if I remember this right. 
         We're awaiting the Zogby Blast any time between now and 1 o'clock. 
         I understand we're first on Zogby's fax list of course, after
         





         Reuters, because Reuters is gonna get it before we will.  We're 
         second on the Zogby's Blast fax list.  When we get it we will let 
         you know.  President Clinton's once comfortable lead over Dole has 
         all but disappeared in Georgia, which is one of the four southern 
         states that Clinton carried in 1992.  This is the Mason/Dixon -
         sorry this is not the Mason/Dixon poll because the Mason/Dixon poll 
         is reporting similar things.  This survey was conducted October 26 
         through 30th by Marketing Workshop, Inc. for the Atlanta Journal 
         Constitution and WFB-TV, which is an ABC affiliate in Atlanta. 
         Clinton who lead Dole by 15 points a month ago, had only a 3 point 
         lead on Dole in the latest survey.  The survey has a 3 percent 
         margin of error and the results show the two contenders therefore 
         to be in a statistical dead heat.  The poll put Clinton support at 
         43; Dole at 40 and Ross Perot at 8.  The number of undecided voters 
         was 10 percent.  Also  the results in this poll show that Dole 
         appears to be benefitting from a narrowing arousal gap with women 
         increasingly being drawn into the Republican camp.  The erosion of 
         Clinton's lead was almost entirely among white voters.  Only one in 
         3 of whom said they planned to vote for Clinton.  Black voters 
         remained overwhelmingly loyal to him.  And I have a little fax 
         story here.  Calypso Louie - have you heard about this one Mr. 
         Snerdley - Calypso Louis was in Macon, Georgia.  In an arousing 
         speech last Saturday night the news out of a Calypso Louie press 
         conference is slow in coming.  We're just now hearing about it.  It 
         was Saturday night, Calypso Louie challenged Blacks to make their 
         political leaders more accountable and to give up their blind 
         loyalty to the Democratic Party.  Said Calypso Louie - the slave 
         master gives you a few crumbs and now you're joyous.  He was 
         shouted at and approvingly throughout his 2-hour speech, got many 
         standing O's, and the most common shout that was heard was teach, 
         teach on that, teach  on that Calypso Louie.  Calypso Louie didn't 
         say you look foolish in 96 to be loyal to anything that is not 
         loyal to you.  Now see this thing about Calypso Louie - half the 
         stuff he says makes sense when he talks about self-reliance and he 
         talks about not depending on anybody else - half of it makes sense 
         





         - he ropes people in with that and then starts into this hate 
         mongering that he is so famous for and that is what makes it so 
         repugnant.  But he is right about this, he is right about it and it 
         was I, it was I who suggested earlier this week that perhaps it 
         might be wise in the future if we started saying things like - Al 
         Gore is attempting to reinstitute slavery.   Or Bill Clinton and Al 
         Gore are trying to maintain slavery in the United States - and have 
         people go - What, what do you mean.  Now all I have to do is quote 
         Calypso Louie - when he says the slave master gives you a few 
         crumbs and now you're joyous - who is he talking about.  He's 
         talking about Democrats, that's what the speech is all about.   So 
         Calypso Louie has now referring to the Democrats, that's what the 
         speech is all about Democrats.  That's what the speech was all 
         about.  So Calypso Louie has now referred to the Democrats as slave 
         masters.  I shudder to think that he's taking my advice but I'll 
         tell you I have given a lot of good advice on this program in the 
         past six months and I have been amazed at the number of my enemies 
         who have taken it - Clinton, bits of advice and now perhaps Calypso 
         Louie - only time will tell.  Remember the name Mark Middleton, 
         ladies and gentlemen.  Mark Middleton was this man who was sent 
         over to Taiwan to in essence, shake down some business and 
         political people for contributions to the Clinton/Gore reelection 
         effort.  Well there is additional news about Mark Middleton.  The 
         White House said - who, no he hadn't been around here, no Mark 
         Middleton, no we don't - - -.  They're lying again about what they 
         know of Mark Middleton.  
         Commercial (Political)
         	Rush L. - Welcome back Rush Limbaugh the excellence in 
         broadcasting network open line Friday.  Mark Middleton, we told you 
         about him earlier - shakedown artist for the Clinton administration 
         in DNC over in Taiwan trying to shade down $15 million in 
         contributions from Taiwanese political and business leaders.  The 
         buy had business cards even.  Mark Middleton has business cards. 
         He handed them out.  The embossed cards were said to describe him 
         as "Special Assistant to the President."  Although he was not - he
         





         was not a special assistant to president but the card said he was. 
         His card listed a White House number and if you called that number 
         - if you called the number of Mark Middleton's business cards you'd 
         get the office of Mack McClardy who is the former Chief of Staff. 
         Can't keep up with these people.  Now he is just in charge of bimbo 
         eruptions and cover ups.  So if you dial the number that is on 
         this guy Middleton's business card, the message you get is - thank 
         you for calling the White House - to reach Mac McClardy, please 
         dial this number - - - -.  To teach Mark Middleton, please dial 
         this number - - - -.  That's what it said yesterday.  If you call 
         today - Mark Middleton's name and number are no longer on the voice 
         mail.  But up until yesterday you could call the number on 
         Middleton's business card where it said special assistant to the 
         president even though he wasn't.  You got a phone number that sent 
         you to a voice mail box - Mack McClardy or Mark Middleton, now 
         Middleton's name has been taken off.   
         	Can you believe this - folks it gets deeper and deeper every 
         day.  Now there is more though.  Listen to this.  Attorney General 
         Janet Reno has asked the Justice Department's Criminal Division to 
         review the allegations that surround John Wong.  The Criminal 
         Division is head up by a guy named John C. Keeney.  He is the 
         father of a man named John C. Keeney Jr.  Do you know who John C. 
         Keeney Jr. is?   He is Wong's attorney.  So, let me explain this to 
         you again.  You have John Wong who is obviously in trouble.  He has 
         done some things - there is a huge cloud of suspicion hanging over 
         John Wong.  We've detailed it for you.  So Janet Reno says to 
         Justice Dept. Criminal Division, investigate Wong; we've got to 
         look into these allegations.  The Criminal Division is headed by 
         John Keeney, the father of Wong's attorney - John Keeney Jr.  So 
         how far is this one going to go?  
         	Let's review some of the things we have learned - some of the 
         things that we have previously told you about.  Contrary to the 
         White House line - a lot of this is put together by the Investor's 
         Business Daily, a great summary today.  Contrary to the White House 
         line, the President often conferred with John Wong, even though
         





         they said he didn't - a couple times maybe .........  Many times; 
         65 times in nine months he was in the White House.  Once talked 
         with Clinton - late night - for two hours.  The Secret Service logs 
         show that Wong visited the White House at least 65 times this year, 
         78 times in the last 15 months.  He often stayed for hours and late 
         into the night - a time Clinton likes to do business.  Testifying 
         in court, after federal marshals re-sent to track him down, John 
         Wong said he met quite a few times with the President and First 
         Lady even before he joined the Commerce Department in 1994.  Logs 
         of John Wong's commerce phone messages show 40 calls from the White 
         House.  One was from Harold Ickys.  More messages were from Nancy 
         Henrick, a secretary to Clinton.  Two calls came from Mark 
         Middleton, a top aide to White House advisor Mack McClardy, who was 
         over shaking down the Taiwanese.  Before his commerce post Wong was 
         top U.S. executive for the Riate family, the Indonesians with the 
         long ties to Clinton and the Little Rock elite.  The White House 
         denied that Wong influenced Indonesian policy but documents show 
         that he sat in on at least two interdepartmental meetings to re-
         examine U.S./Indonesia policy on trade and human rights - which 
         we've told you before, he had access to State Dept. and CIA files. 
         Both meetings took place months before Wong formally recused 
         himself from Indonesian  affairs.  He did that in November '94 when 
         Republicans who were sure to keep a close eye on Clinton, won 
         control of Congress.  The Administration claims that after leaving 
         Commerce on Dec. 3rd, '95, Wong went straight to work for the DNC. 
         Yet on Dec. 19th, he gave $1,000 to the Democrats and listed his 
         employer as the Lipo Bank/Lipo Group which is the Riate's firm.  
         					(Gap)
         work staff but he was over there and the paper work just took a 
         while to catch up with his movements.  Now there are some other 
         points which - none of these contradict what the White House is 
         saying but they do paint a pretty nasty picture - to wit - Mark 
         Middleton is from Arkansas as well.  In addition to shaking down 
         the Taiwanese, having a business card listing a phone number at the 
         White House, which got you a voice mailbox for Mark Middleton until
         





         yesterday when they changed it, he has been placed by two separate 
         sources at a February 1995 meeting where Taiwanese politicians 
         offered to send $15 million to the DNC, not long before Clinton 
         policy took a more pro-Taiwan tilt.  When John Wong went to the 
         Commerce Dept., it was headed by Ron Brown, who was under his own 
         special counsel investigation.  Vice President Al Gore - he's 
         starting to look bad too - he goes out to that Buddhist temple that 
         he claims is an outreach program and instead they raised $140,000. 
         It is not credible that Al Gore did not know a fund raiser when he 
         saw it - I mean he's a politician - that the first thing they know 
         - they come out of the womb knowing a fund raiser.  The first fund 
         raiser they see if their dad, their mom and they grow from there. 
         The DNC may have conspired to break campaign finance laws.  The 
         federal election - and this folks, not enough has been made of this 
         one, this is the one that you just have to write the big question 
         mark, the red flag gets raised - the Democratic National Committee 
         allowed donors, allowed 20 separate donors to list DNC headquarters 
         as their home address.  This is from the Federal Election 
         Commission and the FEC requires parties to track down the addresses 
         of major donors, but the DNC let 20 big givers list party 
         headquarters as their home address.  That means you can't find them 
         - that means you can't track them down. That means you don't know 
         who they are.  And admist all of this Bill Clinton is out there 
         saying that it's all Bob Dole's fault because he stood in the way 
         of campaign finance reform.  This is thick - this is the kind of 
         stuff that has a life span - it is these sorts of things that the 
         little general, Ross Perot is talking about that will have a life 
         beyond the election.  One way or the other, regardless of the 
         outcome, these things are going to have a life.  Bill Clinton could 
         loose this election and move off to some rocking chair somewhere 
         and this investigation will go on because this also involves the 
         DNC.  This involves perhaps the President - remember this is what 
         Watergate was all about.  Don't forget Watergate was in many ways 
         about the illegal connections between the White House and the 
         Republican National Committee - with the White House trying to bug
         





         the Democratic National Committee headquarters and so forth - none 
         of that's Kosher, none of that's legal, and it appears that Clinton 
         has from the early days - well none of what they did in Watergate 
         was legal - the way they did it, there has to be some contact but 
         you cannot do what Clinton has apparently done and that is turn the 
         DNC into your own personal fund raising arm.  And direct it and so 
         forth and mix foreign economic policy with Democratic National 
         Committee policy and so forth.  So it will have a life of its own. 
         Quick break.  We'll be back to get some phone calls after this one 
         so stay with us. 
         Commercial
         Rush L.  - Open Line Friday, Rush Limbaugh on the phones, Redondo 
         Beach, California - Hello John.  Glad you called sir, you're up.
         Caller - Thanks Rush, Rush tie, Limbaugh letter and stogie dittoes 
         to you. 
         Rush L. - Thank you much for the call.
         Caller - I am the honorary first contestant in the pick your pardon 
         pool, and next Friday at 10:30  be ready.  That's when the first 
         one will come out and I'm going to stand by it. 
         Rush L. - And who will be pardoned?
         Caller -  Susan
         Rush L.  - Susan McDougal.  Next Friday, a week from today at 10:30 
         in the morning. 
         Caller - 10:30 Eastern Time - in the evening.
         Rush L. - 10:30 Eastern Time Friday night.  Oh, I see, long after 
         the weak, small Saturday papers have been put to bed. 
         Caller - You got it Rush.  Okay, my point is regarding Prop 209 out 
         here in California.  
         Rush L.  - Yes, the California civil rights initiative or the 
         initiative that would end all discrimination. 
         Caller - Yeah, I'm a little worried about it - I see that some of 
         the numbers have fallen - it's not as overwhelmingly supported as 
         it was and a particular quote by President Clinton caught my eye. 
         He praised certain military programs as the right type of 
         affirmative action and he said that through such programs someone
         





         made an extra effort to give minorities the chance to prove that 
         they were qualified.  I admire that.  My point is I don't care if 
         the applicant is a green, left-handed, dyslexic,               , 
         disciple from Pluto, he or she should be given the same chance, not 
         an extra chance to prove him or her - 
         Rush L. -  Wait a second here.  Would somebody define for me the 
         affirmative action program that exists in the U.S. military.  You 
         see my friend, there isn't one.  There is no affirmative action in 
         the military - that's entirely merit based.  This is what Der 
         slickmeister.  Der slickmeister takes an existing private sector 
         program that's working well, a merit based system and claims that 
         it's affirmative action, a government program that's making it work 
         well and says that's what we ought to be doing around the rest of 
         the country, ha, ha.  Well if we do that then you would vote no or 
         vote yes actually on 209.  You get rid of discrimination and that's 
         what they did in the military.  This is a crock, this is an 
         absolute crock.  How about this - the President was in Phoenix, 
         Arizona - to bad he didn't go by and visit Joe Arpios' tent city 
         out there.  The President was campaigning in Arizona.  Now Arizona 
         has not voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate since Harry 
         Truman.  Bill Clinton in his remarks urged America to reject 
         "racial, ethnic, tribal and religious differences."  Tribal?  We've 
         had a new word added to the mantra.  Obviously this is an appeal to 
         the Native American - the injun population out there - tribal 
         divisions.  You know, I'll tell you something - it is this 
         president and his party which has done more to divide people into 
         groups in this country than anybody else.  It is this president who 
         looks at somebody as - you must be an injun, are you related to 
         Custer, ha, ha.  They're the ones who see peoples' skin color or 
         hair style or whatever and judge immediately what group they're a 
         member of.  And then they form their opinion of this person based 
         on their skin color before getting to know them character-wise or 
         anything else.  These are the ones who do it and now to add tribal 
         to this.  The President also it's been said privately is expressing 
         mounting irritation with Bob Dole.  Clinton is upset at some of the
         





         things Dole is saying on the campaign trail which apparently 
         explains why Clinton is starting to criticize  Dole in a more 
         pointed way,  Well obviously what this means is that the truth is 
         starting to get to Bill Clinton and had we just been saying the 
         truth about him a lot longer, we would have irritated him a lot 
         sooner and taken him off his game a lot sooner.  Thanks Jack for 
         the phone call - John - I appreciate it, will keep an eye on it. 
         Next Friday night, at 10:30 is the pardon pool projection hereis, 
         that Susan McDougal will be pardoned by Bill Clinton, Friday at 
         10:30.  Win or loose, especially loose.  That's when all the mouth 
         pieces are up in the Hamptons or in Martha's Vineyard you know, Al 
         Hunt and Judy will be gone; Bernard Shaw will be gone; Peter; Dan; 
         Tom will be gone.  The newspapers will be put to bed, so the 
         coverage will be small and limited. 
         	Jack, in Clearwater, Florida, hello, welcome to the EIB 
         network. 
         Jack - Rush, Dittoes from Clearwater Beach. 
         Rush L.  - Thank you sir.  Nice to hear from you. 
         Jack - I just want to validate something Mr. Snerderly was talking 
         about earlier - the senior citizens. 
         Rush L. -  Well let me just repeat this for those just joining the 
         program.  Mr. Snerderly arrived today and swore, claimed that the 
         trick or treaters at his home last night included a senior citizen 
         who was not a chaperon or a baby sitter but in fact a competitor of 
         the little 10 year olds.  There was a knock on his door, he opened 
         it - some ten year olds and this senior citizen, gray haired person 
         that shoved - was it a her? - it was a female - shoved her bag in 
         front of Mr. Snerderly higher, and first than any of these other 
         little kids could get their bags to him.  And I said come on, this 
         woman is a chaperon.  She's a baby sitter; she's out there, her 
         little 2 year old is behind her and you didn't see her.  No, no, 
         no.  No, no, no this woman was out for herself - that's what he 
         said.  There are those of us here who doubt this.  Mr. Snerderly 
         claims it is a result of the Medicare mentality which has erupted 
         in the past two years.  Now, you say that you can validate that
         





         story?  
         Jack - Well, not exactly, but something similar occurred.  I was 
         out in Las Vegas on business this week and a group of us went into 
         a ....
         Rush L. - Wait a minute - Las Vegas on business - a likely story. 
         Your wife must be tuning in.  
         Jack - Yes, as a matter of fact she probably is.  At any rate a 
         group of seasoned  citizens came in, proceeded to help themselves 
         to the happy hour goodies which was fine but after they finished, 
         they took out zipper lock bags....
         Rush L -  Wait a minute where is this - at a bar in Las Vegas?
         Jack  - Yes, at a sports bar in Las Vegas.  They took out zipper 
         lock bags and proceeded to take everything that wasn't nailed down. 
         Rush L - On, like what?
         Jack - Food, napkins, matches
         Rush L - What kind of food is laying around - you mean the peanuts 
         and popcorn ...
         Jack  - Well they took that too, well like chicken legs and celery 
         and carrots and things they had out for happy hour. 
         Rush L - You mean like a buffet style....
         Jack - Correct, and they actually brought in zip lock bags - and 
         everybody was incredulous and after they left the bartender said 
         it's common.  He said in fact they send out scouts to various 
         places to see who has the best happy hours and then send out a 
         group later on to just come in and carry out whatever....
         Rush L  -  This is just seasoned citizens or a lot of people?
         Jack -  There were about 5 or 6 seasoned citizens that came in.  It 
         was obviously their intent.  They weren't shy about it.  I mean 
         they walked up to the bar with zip lock bags, seriously pouring bar 
         snacks, napkins, and matches and carrying them out.
         Rush L -  All right Jack, thanks for that eye witness testimony, 
         but I have got to tell you I've seen this happen you know, with 
         people that are not senior citizens.  You see this happen - salad 
         bars - I've seen people just stand there and graze.  They don't 
         even bother putting it in a zip lock bag and leaving.  Anyway, well
         





         look Jack, thanks for the call.  Appreciate it, must be worse than 
         we thought out there.

         Rush L -  If moments ago, you heard a protracted length of silence, 
         there is something wrong with your radio.  Call your repairman -
         800-282-2882.  This is Marcello in Minneapolis.  Welcome to the 
         show.
         Marcello - Mega dittoes Rush.
         Rush L - Thank you sir, nice to hear from you sir. 
         Marcello - I'm Honduran bound for the winter time.  Could you tell 
         me what are the best cigars to get down there?
         Rush L -  Well I can tell you what some of the finest made Honduran 
         cigars are, whether they are on sale down there or not, I don't 
         know because I have never..... Turn  your radio down there 
         Marcello.  Let me give you some brand names again - I don't know if 
         they're sold down there.  I know that they're made there and they 
         are imported in the United States - Punch, any cigar with the Punch 
         brand name is made down there; the Grand Cruise series is good, 
         Hoya De Monta Rey comes from Honduras.  And in fact you might like 
         to know Marcello that Bill Clinton smokes Hoya De Monta Rey 
         Excaliburs  - that might influence your purchase decision.  And 
         there is a relatively new cigar coming out of there and I have 
         gotten into a lot of trouble for mentioning this cigar because it 
         caused a run on them and they're very popular - but I am going to 
         do it again - Padrone.   Padrone cigar from Honduras is pretty 
         good.  I'm sure there are more and I love cigars but my friends, I 
         can possible smoke every cigar there is in order to review it and 
         recommend it.  Those are the three I know - those are the three 
         I'll tell you about.  We'll take a break here and be back with more 
         on Open Line Friday after this moment of silence.  
         Commercial
         Rush L.  -  Open Live Friday - And what that means is if your call 
         is interesting enough we'll take it.  800-282-2882.  I told you 
         that we were waiting on the Zogby Poll.  We've got the Zogby Blast 
         Facts.  We're number 2 on the Zogby list - Reuters gets it first
         





         and the Zogby poll is reporting today that Bill Clinton's lead is 
         at 5-1/2 points.  The numbers are these Bob Dole has 36-1/2 
         percent, Der Slickmeister has 42 percent, Ross Perot is at 8.4 
         percent and 11.2 percent are undecided.  The other candidates, such 
         as the Liberterians, the Greens and the Taxpayers Party get a total 
         of 1.9 percent in the Zogby poll.  Once again the Zogby Reuters 
         Tracking poll is a 1200 voter survey.  They roll it every 3 days. 
         There is 400 voters a day and they create a 3 day average.  It is 
         a rolling average so every day that they announce the poll is it 
         the average of the previous 3 days.  Today's results involve 
         therefore the average of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  Margin 
         of error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.  Now Zogby, the 
         pollster himself, says this, "something is clearly happening out 
         there."  Last night the dam broke as most of the undecideds went to 
         Dole.  In just last night's polling alone Clinton lead Dole by only 
         3-1/2 percent - 43.3 to 39.8.  And the undecideds were just 6.4 
         percent, down from 15.3 percent two days ago.  Clinton's numbers 
         have steadily declined which caused an increase in undecideds.  The 
         majority of those have now gone with Dole. Dole is widening his 
         lead among Protestants; among those who have lost a job in the past 
         year and among those who live in households earning $75,000 a year 
         or more.  He is closer in the Central and Great Lakes area than he 
         has been before as well.  The Zogby Poll also looks at the 
         Congressional outcome.  The race for Congress remains extremely 
         close according to the Zogby Poll - Democrats hold a slight edge 
         39.3 to 37.8 over the Republicans as the choice in voters own 
         districts.  Meanwhile the Republicans have widened their lead over 
         Democrats as the preferred majority in both the Senate - 44.5 to 
         38.5, and in the House 44 to 39.  So it is looking good in Congress 
         according to again the Zogby Poll.  And I just do want to make 
         mention at 5-1/2 points in the Zogby Poll.  
         	I have a story here out of Ocala, Florida that involves 
         seasoned citizens and Medicare - and I want to run some of the 
         details of this story by you because it is amazing in its own 
         little way.  Here is how the story reads.  As retirees watched
         





         warily as Medicare became an issue in this year's presidential 
         election - now they are anxious, angry and even cynical about 
         politicians willingness to deal with a growing national problem. 
         Take a brief time out here once again for you seasoned citizens 
         because this is what is really frustrating.  There is a group of 
         people who did tackle this.  They didn't wait for the safety of a 
         blue ribbon bi-partisan commission.  The Republicans in the t 
         Congress tackled it - they went after it head on because the 
         administration said - hey, Medicare is going bankrupt.  The trust 
         fund is going bankrupt by the year 2002.  We're going to fix it, 
         they tried.  They were lied about, the whole issue was demagogued 
         and you senior citizens who now think you're hanging by a thread -
         you think that because of the scare tactics employed by the 
         Democrats.  It's a hot potato.  They don't want to touch it said 
         retiree Frances Taffel, who moved to Del Ray Beach, Florida from 
         Fairfield, CT.  Meanwhile our lives, she says, are hanging by a 
         political thread.  What do you mean Frances, they don't want to 
         touch it.  A whole political party tried to touch and tried to fix 
         it and they were killed for it.  They were trying to save it.  This 
         is what is so frustrating about this from the get go.  Lavern 
         Westerlyn, a retired sexretary from Baltimore now lives in Tampa, 
         said, if the politicians would just be real honest, we could fix it 
         - one side says they're cutting back, the other side says they're 
         not touching it, now I see that President Clinton wants a bi-
         partisan commission to look at it, Dole also wants a bi-partisan 
         commission.  They're fine but I don't agree with bi-partisan 
         commissions.  We don't elect bi-partisan commissions, that's not 
         how the country was set up, our elected officials are supposed to 
         do this and do it with guts and courage.  I'll tell you who is 
         going to  be real sour.  You know how everybody talks about - I 
         have a sour taste in my mouth about this - and people are going to 
         end up paying for all this if it doesn't get fixed fast and that is 
         generally the young and the Generation X's.  It defies my 
         understanding how anybody can say - nobody is trying to fix this, 
         nobody is trying..... - they're just playing politics with my
         





         Medicare.  Now they were trying to fix it, they really were.  That 
         is really what's so frustrating.  
         	TV networks yesterday rejected a request from western states -
         that they not declare a winner in the presidential election until 
         polls close in the Pacific and Mountain Time zones.  The three 
         networks CNN, ABC, CBS and oh yeah, the fourth NBC - I left one out 
         - said they have no plans to change the way they traditionally call 
         the presidential race on election night.  We call them one at a 
         time and when there is a clear winner we call it, said Heidi 
         Pacorney, who is he spokesman for NBC news.  Rhue Narlage who is 
         the president of ABC News said that ABC would not predict the 
         outcome of the election in any state ahead of time.  He said ABC 
         would wait until a substantial number of polling places in the 
         state had closed before calling the state.  On the other hand at a 
         certain point the president will have been elected and it is 
         foolish and naive to think that we can keep that a secret from the 
         American people.  That is his states.  They are going to call it 
         state by state and he is saying hey, we may not know California by 
         8 o'clock on Tuesday night, but we'll know probably who has won the 
         presidency and if we do we're going to tell you.  California be 
         dammed.  That's my statement not Rhue Narlage's.  Don't any of you 
         call and say that Rhue Narlage said any of that.  
         	Let's see what else do we have here.  No, I don't want to get 
         into that yet although I will later on.  Oh, and of interest there 
         is fascinating development here with the abortion pill story.  You 
         people, wait until you hear this thing is being brought to market 
         or how they're going to try to bring this thing to market.  I'll 
         get into that in just a second.  I'll take a break now.  I want to 
         get back to your phone calls on Open Line Friday - 800-282-2882. 
         Stay with us.

         Rush L - Hey, one other thing here folks before we go back to the 
         phone calls - this is a story by the way that surfaced yesterday 
         and I want to tell you the source of the story.  The source of the 
         story is Christopher Ruddy.  Chris Ruddy used to work at the New
         





         York Post.  He got into some trouble because he was pursuing the 
         Vince Foster death with such vigor.  So he is now working from the 
         annals of western Pennsylvania at the Greensburg Tribune Review 
         which is near Pittsburgh,  Chris Ruddy ran a story the other day 
         that everybody has pick up on now, and the story has been confirmed 
         which validates Ruddy.  You know Ruddy has been maligned because of 
         his pursuit of the Vince Foster story.  And he has hung in there. 
         Here is the story - President Clinton's top fund raiser has long 
         tried to tap big Asian linked campaign contributors.  A guy named 
         Terry McCullough, supervised John Wong the banker, and Democratic 
         fund raiser at the center of  - this is not the story that I had 
         but I don't need it in front of me.  This is an entirely different 
         thing.  These campaign stories - this is about the Russian mob. 
         Clinton is meeting with the leader of the Russian mob and they've 
         admitted it.  And everybody is wondering - why is the leader of the 
         Russian Mafia talking with Clinton, what could possibly be going on 
         here - and wanted a picture.  Who knows.  But the bottom line is 
         that the shady characters that this administration continues to 
         surround themselves with piles up.  Now get this - this is 
         hilarious.  Guess how the White House is explaining the 65 visits 
         to the White House by John Wong.  They're saying - wait a minute -
         there is another John Wong.  There were two people named John Wong 
         visiting the White House.  One of them was working with Vice 
         President Al Gore's Review of Government Agencies.  So one of these 
         John Wongs was in the White House working for Gore's re-invention 
         of Government, the other John Wong was meeting with Clinton. 
         That's why there appeared to be so many visits by John Wong to the 
         White House, there are two John Wongs.  That's right, two wongs 
         don't make a right here folks, that's what you have to look at this 
         as.  Can you imagine this, there are two John Wongs.  And as Ross 
         Perot said, wouldn't it be nice to see an O'Reilly on that list 
         somewhere.  Paulette, Florida, we start with you Dot, welcome to 
         the EIB Network. 
         Dot - Hi, Rush, I love you.  I'm being facetious and maybe a little 
         bit cynical today but every since you started talking about the
         





         lipo connection, I have been thinking why not just let old 
         Farrakhan raise his money from Kadofy. You know if we're going to 
         do stuff like this.  This administration is just so rotten to the 
         core.  I just go ballistic every time I think of them. 
         Rush L - Okay, I agree with you.  In other words what you're saying 
         is if we're not going to stop Clinton from taking money from Lipo 
         and all that, why are we getting mad at Farrakhan for taking money 
         from Kadofy.  
         Dot  - Really, I have no use for Farrahkan but you know the most 
         insufferable thing about a liberal is that besides the fact that 
         they'll never admit that they are is their damnable double 
         standard. Rush L - Oh, yes, Oh yes and you know how that damnable 
         double standard manifests itself.  Damnable double standard 
         manifests itself by them coming up with two rules.  One set by 
         which you live and the other set by which they live.  
         Dot  - Oh yes, well.....
         Rush L - And all the rules they define for you and I to live under 
         they exempt themselves from. 
         Dot -  Absolutely ...
         Rush L. - So where it is not OK for Calypso Louie to collect money 
         from the likes of Momar Kadofy, Bill Clinton can go out and collect 
         money from foreigners.....
         Dot - Well I'm not under any illusions about Mr. Dole's perfection, 
         but he is a decent man with a proven record of service whereas the 
         other guy has a record of nothing but subterfuge, lies, etc, etc. 
         Rush L - Well, what do you want, what do you want as your president 
         folks, a great campaigner or a good man.  Bob Dole is not the best 
         campaigner obviously but there are many who think that he would 
         make a great president.  And do you know why - because of the 
         signature there - Bob Dole on so many pieces of legislation that 
         would be coming out of Republican Congress.  Charley, cellular call
         St. Louis, you're on the EIB Network Open Line Friday, Hello.
         Charley  - Yeah, Rush, can you hear me? 
         Rush L - Yeah, can you hear me?
         Charley -  I can hear you, in fact the whole country can hear you. 
         





         Hey listen, I just heard you talking about the networks and 
         announcing the election. 
         Rush L  - I heard that too. 
         Charley -  You know when I was in advertising there was something 
         called Network Feeds.  The Networks could just like do the news in 
         New England, let's say, without the rest of the country having to 
         hear the election result and as the time zones come into play or as 
         the polls close you extend your feed so you bring in the rest of 
         the country. 
         Rush L  - They can't do it anymore because there are so many home 
         dishes.  I mean if they're going to feed everything by satellite 
         now, that's when they used to feed by phone line.  They feed 
         everything by bird now, and if you're going to feed New England by 
         bird somebody in Missouri, like you is going to have a dish that 
         can bring it down, and you're going to say hey, they just called 
         the presidency for Dole in New England but they're going to wait 
         until our polls close for an hour.  You're going to have a heads-up 
         and you're going to call the people at KMOX so that they can break 
         it the story and that'll be that.  There's no way of keeping it 
         secret - they're right about that.  Once it gets out - look, you 
         think that exit pollsters are going to be quiet.  I mean the people 
         who are going to be deterred as one group that does exit polls. 
         The networks all hire the same outfit - don't know the name of it 
         but you'll hear about it and the exit pollsters themselves have the 
         information they give to the networks.  I mean there won't be a way 
         to keep a lid on this and I
         Charley - But it's unfortunate, there's just not ....  I kinda 
         consider it a honor system, and you know the honors             in 
         that area of the world. 
         Rush L -  Well that's true but how else would you do it.  Tell me 
         what you would do.  Keeping in mind that your idea of regional 
         feeds won't work, what would you do?
         (GAP)
         
         Rush L  - And Back to the phones now.  Rush Limbaugh back to Lake
         





         Charles, LA.  This is Jody and you're up.  
         Jody - Hi, Rush.  It's an honor.
         Rush L -  Thank you very much. 
         Jody -  I wanted to let you all know that I had called Bo during 
         the week and he told me to call back today.  When he came down here 
         last week ...
         Rush L - Who?
         Jody -  Clinton.  Yes, we were blessed with his presence last week. 
         He always likes to have your average, everyday citizen introduce 
         him. Well he showed up at Grauman and a woman employee from Grauman
         introduced him and she talked about how she had to go back to 
         school for two years to move up further into her job and everything 
         and had it not been for the welfare programs and everything she 
         would not have got to make it through school so easily.  She got to 
         go through school without having to go through the burden of work. 
         And I was extremely offended.  I'm a 35 year old working mom and 
         ...
         Rush L -  You paid for her education. 
         Jody - I'm also paying for my education.  I'm also at a university 
         here in Lake Charles and I just found it extremely offensive.  I go 
         to work part time and I go to school part time.  I'm paying for 
         this, I write my tuition checks out, I'm having a hard enough time 
         putting myself through school....
         Rush L -  And here is this woman thanking Bill Clinton for it.  
         Jody -  Right, right and I'm the one paying her tuition.  I'm 
         writing my check and hers and I found it really, really offensive. 
         Rush L -  Yeah, and people will see this.  This is what scares 
         people.  I mean here is a guy shamelessly out there having somebody 
         walk up on stage, introduce him and give him credit for whatever 
         has happened to her and he has had no more to do with her life than 
         he has had anything to do with mine.  And how he gets anybody to do 
         it, you know the honor of introducing Bill Clinton, maybe a little 
         meeting afterwards, who knows.  I mean it's just sick, absolutely 
         sick.  Thanks Jody for the phone call.  This Devin, Colorado 
         Springs, welcome to the program. 
         





         Devin - Mega dittoes from a politician's kid.
         Rush L -  Thank you for the call.  Who is your dad?
         Devin - He is from the State of Iowa.  He is a retiree.  His name 
         is Horace Dagett.  
         Rush L -  Welcome to the program. 
         Devin -  The answer to all of this, absolutely all of this is be a 
         committed constituent.  Committed to your duties. 
         Rush L -  Wait a minute - the answer to all of what?
         Devin - The closing of the polls, the ballots, the budget battle, 
         encouraging Mr. Newt, calling Mr. Kemp to accountability for that 
         comment, making sure people are honest.  If I'm a committed 
         constituent if I'm doing my job then they will do their jobs - they 
         will be honest.  They will be encouraged - I will be their energy.
         Rush L - Wait a minute Dev.  How can a committed constituent have 
         anything to do with what the networks do regarding reporting the 
         results from the polls. 
         Devin -  I'm not really concerned about the networks reporting. 
         What I'm concerned about is if I'm a constituent, I'd go vote. 
         Because if I go vote, it doesn't matter what they report. 
         Rush L -  It says - Are you from Colorado Springs?  
         Devin - I am now. 
         Rush L -  OK, all right, just checking to make sure because what it 
         says here you wanted to talk about, it doesn't ....
         Devin -  I told Mr. Snerdley that if I'm a committed constituent, 
         committed to my duty, if I follow through on my duty and I go vote 
         and I encourage my candidate in all of these things, all the 
         different issues that everyone is so concerned about on this 
         election will automatically be answered because I am doing my job 
         as a constituent.
         Rush L -  Well, OK, that of course is undisputable.  I wouldn't 
         disagree with that but it says up here - and the reason why I am 
         somewhat confused I must tell you is - it says you were going to 
         call and your subject had to do with the early closing of 
         California polls.
         Devin - Yes. 
         





         Rush L - And you haven't talked about that. 
         Devin -  I told him that it wouldn't matter when those polls 
         closed. If I am committed to doing my duty, it doesn't matter when 
         they close. 
         Rush L -  But it does, because you can be committed to doing your 
         duty as anybody has been but it won't have any affect on what the 
         networks do. 
         Devin -  No, but it will have a definite outcome.  And you know the 
         outcome is to win in spite of any and every obstacle. 
         Rush L - That's right. OK, thanks Devin very much.  Carol in 
         Athens, Georgia.  Welcome to the program.
         Carol - Good morning - Hello.
         Rush L - How are you?
         Carol -  Fine, thank you.  Scared. 
         Rush L - Are you scared?
         Carol -  Yeah.  I'm so frustrated because I want the facts to be 
         told about this new entitlement for education.  I'm frustrated with 
         this proposal to give every college freshman and sophomore a 
         $1500.00 tuition credit. 
         Rush L -  Yes, in fact this is Clinton's brilliant new scheme to 
         see to it that education now is not K through 12, but is K through 
         12, plus 2.  
         Carol - And I'm not going to get my monies worth as a taxpayer 
         because 50 percent of all the high school students go to college 
         and only 20 percent graduate.  And, on top of that, that $1500.00 
         tax tuition is only 20 percent of what it costs to educate each 
         student. 
         Rush L -  Carol, this is another great example of something that is 
         never going to happen.  This is nothing more than campaign 
         rhetoric, designed to make people think that Bill Clinton cares 
         about educating your kids and everybody else's, which he bounces 
         off Bob Dole's  supposed claim to want to end education by cutting 
         the education department.  It is never going to happen, this is not 
         going to get out of Congress, there isn't the money for this -
         $1500.00 isn't going to matter a hill of beans.  There may be a lot
         





         of people talk about it so as to make people think they are for it. 
         A lot of people - do you the way this stuff works psychologically, 
         I will bet you that there are people in this country who are going 
         to vote who already think it has happened.  Because Clinton talked 
         about it, they think it's already reality.  And on that basis when 
         it doesn't happen, they won't know because they think it already 
         has.  This is all psychological.  This all comes under the umbrella 
         of how can we fool them today.  And because of the specifics which 
         you have laid out it won't happen.  It's not cost effective, it 
         doesn't make any sense.  It doesn't defray enough costs anyway but 
         there aren't going to be the votes in Congress for this no matter 
         who ends up running it.  Because you're not going to get 60 
         Senators to go along with this.  And that's what you need now, it 
         just isn't going to happen.  We got a break here folks, we'll be 
         back with more after this. 
         Commercial
         Rush L -  And back we are, Rush Limbaugh on the EIB Network, and 
         apparently Senator Dole has not been able to find the time on the 
         campaign trail to give us a call.  We gave him the 2 to 3 o'clock 
         window.  They called earlier today and asked if we would have some 
         time for the Senator today and we said sure between 2 and 3 o'clock 
         hour and I guess they have just not been able to find the time 
         themselves.  It's understandable, the campaign trail being what it 
         is.  So, a lot of things happen spontaneously there.  Perot - the 
         guy's name is Perot.  Jersey City, New Jersey - Scott, hello, 
         welcome to the program. 
         Scott - Hi Rush, mega dittos to you and you do a great job for the 
         country. 
         Rush L  - You don't sound like Perot. 
         Scott - I know, I don't have the little - Well actually I want to 
         tell you have terrific impersonations of both the little general 
         and der slickmeister. 
         Rush L -  Well, sometimes I do - it depends on the day.
         Scott - Yeah, I                        , I really enjoy them. 
         Rush L - Thank you. 
         





         Scott - Well I have a statement to make about the little general 
         and that was basically this - seeing that he did such a great job 
         at the National Press Club, pointing out the weaknesses of der 
         slickmeister and seeing that he really doesn't have a chance to win 
         Rush, I don't understand why in good conscience, he doesn't just 
         basically back down               .  
         Rush L - Well I can give you a speculative reason.  I think Perot 
         is serious about wanting to start a third party.  And at some point 
         he is going to have to admit that the third party is going to have 
         to go on without him, because there is going to be a day when he 
         looses interest or is not around or what have you.  He's serious. 
         If he pulls out now, the Reform Party is forever a joke.  He can't 
         do that, in fact, he needed to get 25 percent of the vote in this 
         election to enable them to continue to qualify for certain funding 
         levels.  He's going to have trouble even doing that.  As I said 
         this is speculation but he's not going to back out now, he would 
         have done it long ago. 
         Scott -  I certainly see your point, but the fact of the matter is 
         just on general principle, pointing out the              , that he 
         has about Clinton, don't you think he should just pull out on 
         general principle.  Never minding the fact that I think
         Rush L - Wait a second now, wait a second, see I don't think 
         quitting is a principled thing to do.  I know what you're talking 
         about.  I'm not sure that his votes are going to come from Dole. 
         Whatever votes he gets.  I'm not at all convinced that that's the 
         case here.  He can't pull out twice anyway on principle or any 
         other reason.  His reputation is forever soiled if he does that.
         Steven in Woodruff, Arizona, you're next on the EIB network. Hello. 
         Steven -  Hello, hi Rush. 
         Rush L -  How are you sir? 
         Steven -  I'm pretty good, how about you. 
         Rush -  Couldn't be better. 
         Steven -  Good deal.  Ok, I'm just calling to tell you something 
         real quick here.  My parents and I just got into an accident in the 
         car.  The car is totalled.  It rolled over two or three times -
         





         we're all fine.  My dad, a little while back, bought a license 
         plate that says Rush Limbaugh - when the big fellow  speaks, you 
         really ought to listen..
         Rush L -  It says all of that on a license plate?
         Steven - Yeah.  It's a pretty neat license plate.  Well the car is 
         totalled but the license plate is fine.  It is perfectly fine -
         it's pretty neat, and plus the window that we have a Dole camp 
         sticker on our back window, all the windows are gone except for 
         that one. 
         Rush L - So what do you think this means?
         Steven - Vote for Dole and good job Rush. 
         Rush L -  Well thank you very much sir. 
         Steven -  No problem. 
         Rush L -  Well that's an incredible amount to get on license plate. 
         Let's see do we have time - I don't think we have time for another 
         call ladies and gentlemen, so let me - well we do but it wouldn't 
         be fair to the people that we have on hold.  So let me just quickly 
         remind you again that you know we're here until the last weekend -
         you're going to be running into a lot of people, wavering people, 
         independents and Democrats who - they're going to vote for Clinton 
         but they don't really like it.  Just ask them this one question. 
         Do you want your vote to be defined to the president as an 
         acquittal of any criminal activity of his or any of his associates. 
         Because any majority at all he is going to say constitutes an 
         acquittal of the American people - they don't care about these 
         things, it doesn't matter to them, he's going to pardon people and 
         put this terrible period behind us.  Ask people if they want their 
         vote to mean that as you canvas you precinct.  We'll see you 
         Monday.
