RUSH LIMBAUGH WWDB RADIO - 11/5/96 - 12:00 P.M. Rush L. - Thank you, thank you, ready to go here, Rush Limbaugh high atop the EIB Building in mid-town Manhattan behind the golden EIB microphones. My friends we are speaking to you on the most listened radio talk show in American history - 650 radio stations, 20 million people tuning in during the week - that's that we know. There are probably about another 30 or 40 biased audience members that we just like the Labor Department when they calculate jobs, half the jobs they report created every month are biased factor jobs - they can't prove them but they just know they're there. Well, we have about 30 listeners we can't put our - million listeners we can't put our hands on, we know they're there, so the grand total 50 million per week here on the excellence in broadcasting network. You know it amazes - it's no wonder to me that the country sometimes goes through these convulsions. When I get mail like I got yesterday berating me for being negative - they're not listening and even when they hear it - they don't hear it. It's like we got a call from a guy the other week - last week - who was upset with me for not saying something. I should be saying this more and I - but I had just - and the guy is - You're not saying it the way it should be said, the way you talk about these people is you call 'em Socialist, you call 'em Marxist and I don't hear you do it. Just the previous hour you know I had told a story about running into some people at a restaurant who just crept up to me and well anyway.... My friends this is election day and federal regulations require that there be no electioneering on election day. Now what that means to those of us in the powerful, influential world of the media is that we are not supposed to be partisan today. What it means to campaigners is they can't do speeches on the grounds of the polling place. They can't put signs up or any of that. However partisanship does go on today. I mean the Democrats and Republicans and the Libertarians, everybody is doing everything they can to drive voters to the polls. There is all sorts of efforts being made - candidates are being talked to. I heard an interview with Pert not long ago as he drove he and his daughter - himself and his daughter to the polling place. So, how might ask will I, Rush Limbaugh, American truth detector, get around federal regulations that says no partisanship. It's very easy. I'm going to take my lesson from Bill Clinton and just say that whatever I do today is not partisan. That it is done in the interest of togetherness, holding hands and building that bridge to the 21st century. Everything that you hear on this program today my friends is oriented towards all of us working together for the future. Having said that let me launch into some more sneaky campaign contributions that were made to the - now this is not partisan because I say it isn't and if anybody wants to call here and accuse me of being partisan - you are in for it. I'm going to come after you with both barrels. I'm going to find out everything in your background and I'm gonna to do a Clinton on you. I am gonna investigate you. I'm gonna find out everything in the world I can about you. I'm gonna question your motives; I'm gonna question your integrity, I'm gonna question your patriotism; I'm gonna question everything about you if you don't believe what I say. And I'm telling you that what happens on this award-winning, thrill-packed, every exciting, increasingly popular, growing by leaps and bounds program today is not partisan, because I respect federal regulations. Now let's talk about some of this dirty money that ended up in the White House. This is a story actually from yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, an Iraq Ameri - in case you didn't hear it I just want to lead into the latest Riate story with this one. And by the way, by the way, by the - guess what, I was reading in the paper today, I was reading in the paper USA Today - Clinton's going on a Hawaii vacation after - two week vacation - two week total - he's going to spend something like ten days in Asia. He has a whole hotel booked in Bangkok. He does my friends. Part of the Pacific rim economic - he does, he does, this is not partisan. I am simply reporting news to you. I'll bet you Wong does have a room - Wong probably has a whole bunch of rooms, probably a Wong there and a Wong there and a whole bunch of Wongs over the President. You didn't hear me Mr. Snerderly - the President is going to Bang - he's got an Asian - ten day Asian tour. I mean he's leaving - whenever he leaves after the vacation after he and Hilary have gone out there and thanked America for acquitting them of all charges, he's then going to head to Asia. He's going to Bangkok. Who knows - do you understand the significance of this? No, he not going to thank the voters there, he going to thank the contributors there. There aren't any voters there. There are contributors. He is going to Asia for ten days - that's what it says in USA Today. Do you think this is coincidence? Now you know the interesting thing about Bangkok, especially as it relates to Clinton and I warn you again my friends this is not partisan today. Bangkok, Thailand, is the city with the largest number of prostitutes per capita in the world. What an interesting statistic given the name of the city, Bangkok, largest percentage of prostitutes per capita any city in the world. And Bill Clinton's got a while hotel booked there - not just a couple of floors. He's got the whole hotel booked. I have inside sources. This is not partisan ladies and gentlemen, we're simply reporting to you the news. Now an Iraq American family which wanted sanctions against Iraq eased, gave about $400,000 at a fund raiser attended by President Clinton. The Detroit Free Press reported this yesterday as controversy over foreign political contributions escalated on the final day of the campaign. The President in meetings with people attending the private fund raiser promised to work toward lifting the embargo. The President promised to work toward lifting the embargo against Iraq and sending food and medicine to the Iraq people. Nothing illegal about a contribution I guess - $400,000, Iraq American families, soft money, went to the party, everything is hunky dory still. Now the news today of course, Washington Post has this one all over the place. James Riate, the son of Motzar Riate, these are the guys from Lipro-suction. James Riate made frequent visits to the White House. During about six trips to Washington discussed U.S. Asian trade relations with the President and urged presidential aides to put Asian Americans in government posts. Clinton aides previously had disclosed only that James Riate had three largely social chats with the president at the white house . Riate wanted to see a reaching out, trying to involve more Asian Americans in the work of the administration said Mike McCurry. They admitted all of this yesterday. They figured the day before election how can we be hurt. I've got a couple of other things. Do I have time to get them in before the break? Well I'm going to set both these up and then we'll take the break. Because there are a lot of other things - have you seen - I haven't been paying attention to any of this latest O.J. Simpson stuff but I saw a picture of O.J. Simpson in the New York Post today. Have you seen how much weigh he has gained? And he is accused now of sexually harassing some secretary in the court house, which leads me into this subject. There are things that you read that spark thoughts and I had that happen to me last night. And I wished that it had happened earlier. There's been something troubling me all along about this Soccer Mom phenomenon and it's not that the Soccer Mom phenomenon exists because let's assume for the sake of this discussion that what we know about it is actually true. But it seems to be so strange to me that the phenomenon did exist, given the desires and directions and I guess the gains that have been made by feminists in this country. Because the conflict is this, we have been conditioned low these past 25 years - now 26 or 27 - I actually target the beginning of the modern feminist era the late 60's - 68 - 69, because that's when I first got hit over the head by it. The young 16 year old dee jay doing a remote . One of my high school broadcast partners, a woman, started talking about feminist things and I didn't know what it was at the time but later as I reflected I understood that this was the beginning of the modern - she was 16 and she was articulating all of these things, the equal rights amendment and all this other stuff. And if you look at the direction the feminists have said we should go, what is the one the one underlying concept that they have put forth. It is that there are no differences between men and women other than physiological and even then those differences are small. They are so small that women can go to combat; that women can engage in the same type physical activities as men do and you don't have to lower the standards in these physical requirements in order to qualify women for whatever it is military, forrest ranger, fireman - whatever it is. We clearly know that that isn't true but that has been one of the things that they have attempted to move forward - that there is no difference between men and women. And yet, look at the Soccer Mom phenomenon. The Soccer Mom phenomenon requires that we look at women differently. And how? It requires that we look at women and approach women and attempt to persuade women with emotions and with tears and with feelings and you might say that both parties tried it. Look at both conventions - it was a sob story, after a sob story, after a sob story. And whoever got the most tears was said to have had the most successful convention, the most successful presentation; the most meaningful and compassionate, in- touch convention. And this goes totally against the grain of what modern feminists, the militant one especially have told us - that there are no differences. Well you certainly don't go after men by appealing to their tears. You don't go after men by appealing to their emotions. You certainly do not want men crying as a means of proclaiming I reached that guy, look at those tears, but women you do. I have been dead right about the arousal gap. The thing that I have left out of the equation, ladies and gentlemen, is that this is a huge slap in the face of feminists. feminists decry all this emotional content that women are supposed to have. I'll tell you what led me - there were two things that led me into this - there was a column by Mr. Buckley yesterday. It ran in the New York Post and he asked the question - are men and women really different when it comes to politics. Do we really have to approach men and women in different ways and if so, what does that say about our future and then I was moseying on the Internet last night and I ran across yesterday's Washington Times and there was a column by Richard Griener who I happened to meet a long, long time ago. I went down to the Heritage Foundation when I was new. and nobody knew who I was and they invited me down there. Who is this Limbaugh guy. So Bill Bennett called and said why don't you come down and introduce yourself to these people; we'll have a little dinner at 5 or 6 o'clock and we'll have a round table discussion and Griener was one of the guys there. Ed Fulmer, Kate Oburn - that's where I met all these people for the first time and I'll never forget Griener because he was a unique individual. Anyway I read this piece and he touches on this in his own way, not so much in the Soccer Mom mode but in a general attack on feminism and how it says one thing and then gives us another. And then - we'll get into this in more detail - then John Leo's column on society in this week's U.S. News and World Report, has to do with what's going on out in California, Prop 209. And the basic point he makes is that if the anti 209ers get their way, that a number of Blacks, a number of Latinos and a number of women are going to have to be fired because they already have a greater percentage of the jobs than is represented by their population percentage of the state at large. He says they're cutting their own throats. It's a fascinating piece. Anyway there's that, we have a whole bunch of stuff too, as well as your phone calls, on the totally non-partisan excellence in broadcasting network, election day special on the Rush Limbaugh Program. Commercial Rush L. - All right, there you have it, Rush Limbaugh, the epitome of fairness and even handedness on election day 1996, totally non- partisan presentation. Mr. Snerdsley informs me that the long knives are out today. He just told me during the commercial break that he's got the name callers calling in droves - that this hasn't happened in a while, that what's happening is that he answers the phone and that people start calling me names, cursing me and start shouting, loose their composure and hang up. And as they're on the way to hanging up, Mr. Snerdsley says have a nice day. He says this hasn't happened in a long time. Mr. Snerdsley asked me - what have you done that's irritated these people so much because he has not been listening to every second of the show - he's been screening calls. I said I don't know, it must be the fact that they've been Clintoned, because I said that I'm going to do a totally non-partisan program today and that no matter what you hear on this program, you can't accuse me of being partisan because I say it's non-partisan. Other than that what has them more upset than usual. I can't think of it. We also had a guy who hung up on us. He was going to be our first call. A guy named Edgar from Boston and Edgar was right out of the seminar, right out of the Democratic National Committee Seminar. He can't believe I'm so mean-spirited to President Clinton and he wanted to talk to me about it. What else was it Mr. Snerdsley - I am so mean-spirited, and yes, that's the part that we know it's a seminar caller - he is going to accuse me of contributing to the lack of civility. Edgar, I knew the moment I saw your name go up on my high tech monitor that you were a plant; that you were a fraud. I've met both Republicans in Boston and not one of them name is named Edgar. Edgar identified himself as a Republican, that's what the plants always do. So we have a cellular call from Bird Island, Minnesota. We'll start with Ed. Ed welcome to the program, nice to hear you. Ed - Good afternoon Rush. First time caller, I have tried to call many, many times. I'm really, really enthused. I think Bob Dole is going to come out a lot better than anybody thinks today. Rush L - Well let's do our own exit polling. You know I think it's one of the things that we can do here that - of course this is going on at every polling place - well select key precincts and we've just dubbed this programs a select key precinct. And so this is not part of electioneering and this is certainly non-partisan ladies and gentlemen, because all we're asking for is information. And so Ed, let me ask you as our first participant in our own exit poll - who did you vote for. Ed - Rush, I have not voted yet. I'm on my way to the VA hospital in St. Cloud. Rush L - Well make it up a little bit here Ed, pretend that you have voted and it's afterwards and who did you vote for Ed. Ed - I voted for Bob Dole. Rush L - There you go. There's our first exit poll result on non- partisan election day on the excellence in broadcasting network on the Rush Limbaugh program. Now it says you want to say something here about Ross Perot - can you say that quickly. Ed - I voted for Perot 4 years ago and I shouldn't have. I really do like Ross Perot. Rush, me and you would agree on a lot of things and we disagree on a lot of things. Rush L - Well, but you're home now and we welcome you home on non- partisan election day EIB Rush Limbaugh special. Commercial Rush L - Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, Rush Limbaugh executing flawlessly assigned host duties. And by the way you know my mail shows it too. There is a new crap of mail from people, you know I used to listen to you a lot but your arrogance is rubbing me the wrong way. Well my friends first off it is not arrogance and it isn't bragging if you can do it and I can do it. It's just the way it is. It's just confidence - you people - you know what that is - that's proof the audience continues to grow. Because that's symptomatic of first time, second time, third time listeners. It's the non-partisan election day special here on the excellence in broadcasting network. What's happening on Wall Street. Here's the latest - the Dow Jones Industrial average gained - get this now more than 50 points Tuesday aided by a strong bond market and aided by Wall Street's growing conviction that the Democrats will not take back control of Congress. The stock market going through the roof today on the basis that the people there analyzing the election think the Democrats will not regain control of Congress, therefore it's up 50 points. That's the latest news on today's non-partisan special on election day; the Rush Limbaugh program. Greg in Westerville, Ohio - have you voted. Greg - Yes I have Rush. Many, many buck eye dittos from Westerville, Ohio; home of John Casey, buddy. Rush L - Thank you for the call - who did you vote for? Greg - Bob Dole Rush L - Well, there's two in our exit poll. Greg - Voted 6 hours and 4 minutes ago Rush L - Congratulations sir. Greg - And the polling place I go to - both my wife and I went - and I've voted 3 times since I moved up here. Rush L - On the same day? Greg - No, no, no, no, no, but I've voted 3 times since I moved up here and the place was packed. We started pulling and all these cars started pulling into the parking lot - it's dark at 6:30, it's raining lightly and one guy made it in there and we all made a beeline for it and it was packed - Rush L - Heavy turnout in Westerville, Ohio it sounds like. Greg - Yes, it was and we were walking back after we were done and I did an informal poll and everybody but one voted for Bob Dole and the other one was for Ross Perot. Rush L - How many would you say in this informal poll - we can add it to our own exit poll here on our non-partisan election day special. Greg - I think I talked to about 8 people. Rush L - Eight people so that gives us 10 Dole votes and one Perot. Greg - Look, I got to say I miss you on TV. I really do. Rush L - I get this a lot. Greg - I remember when you were on here at WSYX here in Columbus and after you had made your announcement - oh, they had fun with you. They put you everywhere. We had to stay up all night just to watch you and I never saw your last show. Rush L - Well that was the way it was anyway. That was the whole - Greg - I would like to get a copy of the last show if it's possible because I have a copy of your first show and I really would, if there is any way I'd like to. Rush L - There is but it costs money. Greg - Okay Rush L - Not to me, not to me, No, no, no, not to me, no, no, I don't get anything from it. What's the phone number - what's the Burrell's phone number. Yeah, here you go, call 800-FOR VIDEO and tell them you want the last - I don't know the date, what was the date - well that was our last tape date, but the air date - Well try August 5th or 6th somewhere around there. Greg - August 5th or 6th. Okay. Rush L. - August 5th or 6th, the Friday of that week, whatever it is. Greg - I've got a couple of other things to be non-partisan here. Rush L - Yeah, go ahead. Greg - Man, I can't believe I'm talking to you. It's been five years since I have been trying to get in here. Rush - Well there's a non-partisan comment - see what I mean ladies and gentlemen about this being our non-partisan special on election day. Greg - Well you were talking about women before. My wife is probably more conservative than I am and there is a lot of women I know like that. I'll tell you what - my wife calls Clinton a liar just all the time. She can't stand to see him. And as far as Hilary, she actually wants a pay for view match on TV in a cage with her. Rush L - Really? Greg - She does. Rush - Your wife? Greg - Yes. She said she would go down in 19 seconds or less. Rush L - Well now this is getting a little bit beyond the scope of our non-partisan..... To suggest a caged match between your wife and Hilary is - I think, federal regulations would frown here on the programming content today. But thank you anyway for this passion that you brought to the program. August 9th, there's the date, August 9th, is the last date of the Rush Television Show - I've just been informed. Greg, thanks for the call. Glen Arbor Township, Michigan. This is Eric - you're on the EIB network. Eric - Hi Rush, how are you doing. I voted for Bob Dole. Rush L - That's eleven. Eric - And we have 700 registered voters here in Glen Arbor Township. This is a Republican stronghold so I think Bob Dole will do overwhelmingly well.... Rush L - There you have it my friends - Dole carries Glen Arbor Township re: Limbaugh program projection based on exit polling data. Eric - Anyway, Rush, the reason why I'm calling and it should be up there on your screen is it seems like at least from a popular vote viewpoint, the electorial viewpoint I can't begin to project but I was concerned about this election from the beginning because in talking to women voters, it was very hard to find women that wanted to vote for Bob Dole. My calculations - I come up prior to the pro-factor being in there is that Clinton would get 53 percent of the popular vote and that's based upon the assumption that somewhere between 65 and 67 percent of women in this country, which will probably make up about 52 percent of the people that go to the polls would vote for Clinton and assuming that 60 percent of the males in this country would vote for Bob Dole, which gives 40 percent of the women voting for Clinton. Rush L - Yeah, I follow you. Eric - Okay - 53 percent prior to pro-factor and I think that was a good strategic move by Bob Dole to try to get Perot to come with the support because then the numbers would have narrowed significantly. I was also interested yesterday when you had Bob Dole and George Bush and his son on the program. If I remember four years ago when George Bush was running against President Clinton you had him on the show too. If Bob Dole doesn't win this time, in the year 2000, let's not jinx the Republican candidate by bringing him on the show the last day of the election because I was really surprised. I mean it was an honor to hear him on the show but I was surprised and I said oh, oh shades of four years ago. Rush L - On come on Eric, you don't believe in this superstition stuff do you? I mean if you believe in superstition stuff then you've got to say Dole is gonna win because the Yankees won the World Series. Come on, stop and think about this because Dole appears on my show yesterday he looses. And you want a copy of my last TV show. I mean this is ..... All we did here was answer the phone yesterday. That's number one. Number two, I was honored to hear from the presidential candidate and the former president and the current governor of Texas. So I reject, even though I know you're trying to be helpful - I reject on this non-partisan special edition of the Rush Limbaugh program that theory that of course is founded in nothing but mysticism. Quick break here. More on this women thing - the Soccer Mom phenomenon and what's feminism role in all this has been. Don't go away. Commercial Rush L - We are back, Rush Limbaugh serving humanity on this the excellence in broadcasting network. We are going to add another vote to our exit poll - Rabbi Segal just showed up and allowed us - he is the official Rabbi of the EIB Network. Now my friends I want to go back and expand on this whole feminism Soccer Mom thing because this really is fascinating and it has I think a tremendous amount of interest at least for me for the future. And I set this up again. I have been troubled by this whole Soccer Mom phenomenon for the longest time and I was able to put my finger on it. And it had its roots - the reason I was trouble it had its roots - troubles had it roots in feminism. Something seemed to be totally at odds with the desires of feminists in this whole thing and let me in brief explain it again. Feminists - the militant ones - an I am talking - I know a lot of you women think of yourselves as feminists and I'm not talking about you when I talk about the Bella Abzuggs and the Gloria Steinams and the Patricia Irelands and basically the real extreme, so far out of the mainstream feminists. I mean these are the women that have this anti-male view. Their feminism is based on an anti-male attitude. And these people have been promoting for the longest time, the fact that there's no difference between men and women except a few small physiological differences. Right - now that's fundamental to understanding what they're all about - that women can be firemen. And you don't have to lower the standards for men in order to qualify women. They say women can fly fighter jets. (GAP) And yet if you look at the Soccer Mom phenomenon, you find that the way to get to these women is precisely through the emotions; through their tears - compassion, gut-wrenching, emotional parlays that evoke tears is how you get to these women. You have to make them think that you are their provider; that you care about them. This is the antithesis of feminism. What brought all of this home to me was my perusing the Washington Times yesterday and a column by Richard Griener. And the title of his piece is - Will America Survive Feminism. And I want to read to you just a couple of paragraphs from his piece. How did this strange inversion of traditional social patterns come about. Radical feminist doctrine which against all common sense now prevails among politically correct Americans. Holds that women are identical to men except for certain physiological details and that their record of achievement should also be identical. There should be as many women CEOs of Fortune 500 companies as men, as many women fighter pilots. But this year's pandering to women by both political parties is actually in complete contradiction to feminist doctrine as it is based on the principle that women are very different indeed. And Buckley's column yesterday too, raise the same question. What is this, men and women are different. I thought that they weren't. You have to approach men and women differently now. As opposed to men it seems women just adore emotion; they just adore compassion; they adore vulnerability; they adore weakness. Candidates who have suffered pain and cried real tears. Only such candidates are capable of appreciating the world's misery. No prizes are being handed out this year for strength; no prizes are being handed out this year for self restraint; no prizes are being handed out this year for discipline. The nominating conventions of both parties and a large part of the campaigns which followed have thus been agonizing extensive soap operas of the tear-jerker variety. Emotion has been prized over reason; the personal over the public. With little sense of the common good women it now appears engage in politics for a good cry. Well personally I have never doubted that women were different from men but European women are different from men also and we're left with this perditious feminist volt-face that separated America from Europe. And the key might not be American women but the extent to which in recent decades American men have suddenly allowed themselves to be intimidated by a really quite tiny number of radical feminists, which I totally echo - I totally echo it. And it happened in Washington, D.C. It started there and it is spread out across the fruited plain. But you can see the fallacious faults in this by simply looking at recent sexual harassment suits or cases. Compare Anima Hill and Clarence Thomas to Paula Jones and Bill Clinton and you will find no consistency on the part of the feminists. And in fact, you'll find the feminists going after Paula Jones. They will go after her viciously but they would not go after Anima Hill, and Paula Jones has real evidence - real and corroborative evidence. Anima Hill had none. Anima Hill didn't even fit the profile of the sexually harassed woman. The sexually harassed women generally tells somebody within 10 or 90 minutes, a couple of days at least. Anima Hill waited years to tell anybody and then it had to be dragged out of her. Well the excuse for that was she was so emotional and distraught that she didn't want to. And in those 10 years she kept following Clarence Thomas everywhere he went trying to benefit from his climbing of his own ladder. Paula Jones did everything she could to stay away from Bill Clinton after this had happened and yet the feminists of America go after Paula Jones. Some say the reason they went after Paula Jones is because she is a trailer park, Arkansas hick. And that really feminism is really nothing more than a culturally elite band of extreme women who are uppity and snobbish. And I think there is n element of that but I think that's not the sole reason; the sole reason is that they are flat out Socialist/Liberals and that they're going to protect their own. How else do you explain these radical feminists who are eager to destroy Bob Packwood, eager to destroy Clarence Thomas; give Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton and other well known respecters of women a pass and not only a pass but actually a nice push. It has to be ideology but you have to wonder what kind of success the feminists are ultimately having if in order to get the female vote in this country you have to be the antitheses of what the feminists have said you must do in treating women. You have to make em cry; you have to make em dependent; you have to appeal to the emotions - you have to go after women in a totally different way than you approach male voters. Why is this? Is it because there are indeed differences between men and women and that the militant feminists have long sought to gloss over and erase but have failed to do. I think ultimately yes, the only women - the only people who are cowed by militant feminists these days are a bunch of liberal limp-wrists in the nation's capital, to whom the idea of a real man is Michael Kinsley. Take a break here folks, on our non-partisan election day special here on the Rush Limbaugh program. Back after this. Commercial Rush L - Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, Rush Limbaugh enjoying myself and having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have. It is our election day special presentation, a non-partisan Rush Limbaugh program today as federal regulations require. Christine, in Fairmount, West Virginia, welcome to the program. Christine - Hi, Rush. How're you doing. Rush L - Just fine. Have you voted? Christine - I sure have. Rush L - I want you to participate here in our exit poll. How did you vote? Christine - All righty. I voted for Dole and Kemp. Rush L - Well there you have it. There you have it and on the basis of this early projection ladies and gentlemen, we are able to say that Bob Dole will carry the state of West Virginia based on early exit polling data. Dole carries West Virginia and grabs all electorial votes in that state and we called this state at 12:56 Eastern Time on our non-partisan special election show. Christine - Well Rush everybody says that Bill Clinton has already gotten the projection of winning. Rush L - Who says that? Christine - Well the news media has been saying that for gosh, three weeks now. Nobody should vote because Bill Clinton is winning. Bill Clinton is winning - why waste your vote. Rush L - Why we haven't been saying nobody should vote and you may be assuming that's their implication. Anybody watch Monday night football last night. By the way, how about those Denver Broncos. Congratulations to John L. Way, Pat Baldwin, Mike Shannohan of the Denver Broncos - 8 and 1. Best record in the AFC and they came back anyway half time. Instead of interviewing a football figure Al Michaels interview Peter Jennings, and Peter Jennings called the race last night. Peter Jennings said - well Al we expect that our pre-election polling to pretty much hold up tomorrow, but in an effort now to keep viewers tonight he said we really expect to be kept up late with some house races that are too close to call now as the Democrats go for a clean sweep. So last night ABC projected Bill Clinton the winner. They got Dole up by 16 points and the plus or minus margin of errors is like two points. So half-time, last night. Half time. But based on our exit polling data that we have amassed today, ladies and gentlemen, we project Bob Dole wins West Virginia. Christine - All right, I like that. Rush L - There you go. All right, thanks Christine, very much for the phone call. No enough time to be fair with another call here friends. We do have two hours left of today's broadcast and yet to come a discussion of the mess the anti 209ers in California will give themselves should they prevail. However, however late polling data coupled with exit polling data amassed on this program indicates that the support for Prop 209 is widening as of last night, going into election day. Back with more non-partisan programming in a brief moment or two. Commercials and News Rush L - Welcome back or greetings period, whichever is the case if you have been with us, glad to stayed or if you're just joining us welcome. It's the Rush Limbaugh program, this is the excellence in broadcasting network - a special - the election presentation. Federal regulations require that all partisanship cease on commercial broadcast properties during election day. In accordance with federal elections, this is a special non-partisan edition of the Rush Limbaugh program on this the excellence in broadcasting network. Commercial Rush L - Thank you Johnny Donovan. Thanks one and all. To illustrate just how far I'm willing to go here ladies and gentlemen in making this a non-partisan broadcast today, we are featuring various campaign speeches made by all candidates, well candidates representing all political parties and persuasions and yet, here we go playing for you another example of a campaign speech of someone you might not think is aligned with me. - "Is this Clinton Country, and although we all do what needs to be done for the next 2-12 weeks, and we elect Mark Roosevelt as our Governor and you re- elect old Kennedy in the United States, we're going to re-elect (campaign speech) Rush L - Welcome my friends to the non-partisan special edition of the Rush Limbaugh program today, where we are conducting our own exit poll. Each caller who gets on the air is being asked to tell for which candidate he or she voted. So far our exit polling data has enabled us to project the entire state of West Virginia for Bob Dole and well as East - something or other - Township in Michigan. Where was that Mr. Snerderly. Glen Arbor Township, Michigan, has done for Bob Dole, according to early exit poll projections made last hour on this special non-partisan edition of the Rush Limbaugh program. Other items in the news before we return to your phone calls and by if you would like to join us the number is 800-282- 2882. This would come under the contradicting information category - I have the Nov. 11th issue U.S. News and World Report and that would be the most recent issue and there is a conversation with Housing and Urban Development Secretary (soon to be leaving this post) Henry Cisneros. And in his conversations with the reporters and reporterettes at U.S. News, he addressed many subjects and one of the subjects that the Secretary of Housing addressed was how to fill the housing gap. There is a housing gap in America and don't forget now that Ruth Bader Ginsburg says our constitution is outdated. It does not compare well to constitutions that have been written to structure recent great democracies since the 1800s and I don't know which democracies these are but she says we need to write the housing and write the food spelled out in our constitution. She will probably be the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and/or she stands a chance of being. The only way it can happen I guess is if our early exit polling data is way off the mark. Because right now we have Dole in a land slide in our early exit poll data upon this our special non-partisan edition. Anyway Cisneros said this - the single most important thing I would do to fill the housing gap would be to ask for the requisite level of Section Eight funding. We want more taxes, that's just another way of saying we need to raise taxes to end the housing gap. He then went on - I think that that is the best program for housing clearly it is a fraction of the total need. We've always been behind as a country in trying to meet the housing gap. The last several years I think as a country we have fallen further behind because the economy pushed so many families toward lower incomes. This is Bill Clinton's own Housing Secretary. One of the reasons why he's gonna be gone is because he has painted a picture of the economy here that is totally at odds with the picture portrayed by the Clinton/Gore campaign. That this is the best economy in the last 30 years. Now we need to raise taxes to close the housing gap and the housing gap has widened according to Henry Cisneros because the economy has pushed so many families toward lower income. He's right. We have the data. We know that mean household income in this country in men fell two percent in the last four years and in the last year fell one percent among women but it's up 2.3 percent if you get a government handout check. Welfare, Social Security - something like that, your income is up. Government transfer payments are up - just thought you would like to know that. John Leo, same issue of U.S. News, Nov.11th has his own society column. Talks about the curiosities that surround Proposition 209 in California. This is the civil right initiative, it would end discrimination in the State of California. Let me read this to you. Here again, this is the wording - The state, if I were Red Skeleton I would define each couple of words as I go, the state, in this case boys and girls, California, the official organization and structure of the people who live within the boundaries of the geographic region of our country known as California. The state and all the institutions that are of the state, this does not include the private sector, you must understand this - this is like state universities, state government, state awarded contracts to businesses and anything the state is involved in is what is affected here - all right. Now the state has nothing to do with maternity benefits, nothing of the sort. Now here we go - well alimony you know that sort of stuff, the state shall not discriminate against or grant preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin. This is the same - I mean this is it, it's against discrimination. It's everybody, it's everybody that has anything to do with the state. Now if the EIB Network was located in California, it wouldn't have anything to do with us, unless the state provided us the studio or the state was somehow involved in what we do and fortunately we have not gotten to that point but I don't know about the next four years. It's just a state, it's all these fear tactics out there. Now keep that in mind, this is just about the state. It has to do with state hiring, state university admissions, state awarded contracts, . Got that. John Leo has dug up some research here by a man named Michael Lynch of the Pacific Research Institute. Now what is affirmative action. You must understand what affirmative action. Affirmative action simply says this - that if 38 percent of the population if Latino, then 38 percent of the jobs, college admissions, state awarded contracts go to Latinos. If the population is 55 percent women, then 55 percent of the jobs, 55 percent of the state awarded contracts, 55 percent of the admissions at universities go to women. If the population is 10 percent Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, then 10 percent of all state award contracts, admissions, whatever it is goes to 10 percent Vietnamese pot bellied pigs if you're going to grant them human status. That's what affirmative action is. It defines its quotas. They don't want to admit that it's quotas but it's quotas. Now you must understand what that is in order to understand what next comes. Here we go - Michael Lynch of the Pacific Research Institute analyzed the distribution of California Civil Service jobs using the standards that U.S. Supreme Court says must be used - that is relevant labor force data, not general labor force numbers. Lynch found that since 1976 in California, Blacks, who were already over represented in the Civil Service increased their proportion by 132 percent, Whites, under represented in 1976 decreased in their percentage by 63 percent. Lynch's study shows that under parity, or proportionality, the professed goal of anti 209ers, Blacks would loose 10,362 state jobs, Filipinos would loose 3,606 state jobs and women would loose 7,413 jobs because that's how over represented these groups all ready are in California based on the percentage of the population. So if 209 goes down to (sounds like deveat) and the 209 opponents say no, we don't want this, according to the law - according to their own guidelines, this number of Blacks, Filipinos and women would have to be fired in order to make things equal. You understand this. As John Leo writes - think about this, besides being a disastrous new ideal for America, group rights in California state hiring means that the one major group with a historical claim of systematic oppression - Blacks, would loose ground. The benefits would go to a group with no such claim and which in any case is a largely new immigrant population. Affirmative action for new arrivals. Why. Why. Why. This is incredible. The people that are opposing 209 already have according to their own guideline a greater percentage of each group holding jobs than their own guide- lines call for and because of that their people would loose jobs in order to make sure that the population were represented fairly and proportionally in the state in these civic civil service gigs. Now the latest polling data on 209 says that the amount of support for it is actually surging. A majority now favor the measure that would ban racial and gender preferences. It's a Field Survey - Mervin Field. Fifty-two percent said they favor the measure, 38 percent opposed, 10 percent said they are undecided. Quick break. Your calls are next on the special non-partisan edition of the Rush Limbaugh program on election day. You're listening to the EIB Network. You're tuned to the talk station WWDB. Commercials Rush L - And now back to the phones. This is the EIB Network, the Rush Limbaugh program and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. Paulette from Ft. Meyers, Florida, welcome to the program. Paulette - Hi Rush. Non-partisan election day dittoes from Ft. Meyers. Rush L - Thanks for the call. Welcome to our special non-partisan edition of the EIB Networks Rush Limbaugh program. Great to have you with us. Paulette - Thanks. First time caller, first try. This is awesome. Rush L - Way to go, it must be an omen. Who did you vote for. Paulette - Absolutely Dole. Rush L - On this basis ladies and gentlemen - this is more than one call from the State of Florida today. Early exit poll analysis enables us to project Florida for Senator Bob Dole. Paulette - Absolutely. Rush L - Thank you Paulette, very much for your call. Well what's up. Paulette - Hey I watch Monday night football all the time and last night I was disgusted by the half time side show. What was that? Rush L - It was a promotion of election night coverage on ABC because they think the presidential race is over and they think they have to hype viewership by pointing out how late they're going to be up covering these house races. Paulette - And I think they're wrong. Rush L - Well our exit polling data clearly indicates they're wrong. Paulette - Absolutely. And last night I also happened to watch the Perot Informercial. Rush L - Yeah, I watched a little bit of that too. Paulette - It was very interesting. He blasted Clinton. Rush L - He really did. I mean he really, he really blasted Clinton. Paulette - No scandals about Dole. Rush L - Yeah, he kinda treated Dole with a Michael Jackson type glove, but he went after ..... By the way do you believe Michael Jackson has actually impregnated a woman? Paulette - Hadn't heard that one. Rush L - Yeah, it's all over the news. Paulette - I don't listen to the news anymore. I just listen to you. Rush L - Well I'll tell you all about it here in due course. There are other more pressing matters. But the Perot informercial last night, the only thing wrong with it was that Perot has said all those things from the heart at a podium without a teleprompter. Last night's reading the prompter and he looked like he was reading the prompter more last night than I have ever seen him. Paulette - Yes he did. Rush L - But boy what he had to say. He was just all over this scandal stuff, all over it with...... Well as usual I said he's.... obviously he has listened to this show in the past couple of weeks. Paulette - That's right. That's right. Rush L - Did you think that too? Did you think..... Paulette - I did absolutely. I was telling my husband about it. He got home from a meeting and I was telling him about it, and he said well he's been listening to Rush, absolutely. Rush - Not that he doesn't come up with the stuff independently - don't misunderstand, but I mean it was uncanny and you - I don't know how many people watch this stuff but you have to wonder. He spent $2 million on this last night and obviously his theory is that the closer to the election you say this stuff the more impact it might have. Why what. Why did he do it. Well you tell me. Why do you think that he did it. Look, you've got to understand something about this. First and foremost, he knows that he's not going to be elected President but he's I think very, very serious about the creation of this third party - this reform party and he's got to get enough support for it that it survives. He got to do whatever it takes to make sure this party survives and I actually think that, I actually think that he's..... all things considered, Perot is a decent guy. He's a little quirky now and then but he's a decent.... I think this scandal stuff offends him tremendously. I think he's just like any of the rest of us, to understand that the highest office in the land has been sold out these past four years. It probably grates on him as much as it's grating on anybody, maybe more so considering his four year assault on special interest and so forth. I think he's really offended that the highest office of the land has been sold out like this. Tammy - Paulette, thanks for the call. Back now to our non-partisan special election presentation. Ken, in Nashville, Tennessee, welcome to the program sir, nice to hear from you. Ken - Thanks Rush. Mega election day dittos from the volunteer state, which is going to go for Dole/Kemp. Rush L - You've voted for Dole/Kemp? Ken - Have voted for Dole/Kemp and had an opportunity to be at the rally last night in Knoxville, approximately 4 to 5 thousand very excited voters there last night and there is no sign of strong support for Clinton in Tennessee. It's very soft. We're building a bridge to the 21st Century - we're not only going to go for Dole/Kemp this year, we're going to make sure that Al Gore doesn't have a solid chance at re-election in the year 2000. I think that we need to take this election seriously. America needs to get out and vote because it is not over and when Tennessee goes for Dole/Kemp that definitely makes a statement. Rush L - Well didn't Tennessee go for the Republicans in toto in 1994. And Gore went in there and gave it his best shot, but he was still a tobacco farmer then. But now he has gotten rid of that baggage and so who knows what the outcome will be. Well Ken, thank you, thanks for the phone call. I've got to tell you something. I still have this dream that tonight..... Look I'm going to an election night party tonight and the people who invited us to it, said come and join with 20 friends to witness the great miracle of 1996. Buffet supper starts 8 o'clock. So I'm going to go to this place - the great miracle of 1996, and I have got this desire to sit there and watch the blank faces of the network anchors as they try to explain what went wrong with all their data. It's just one of these things that once in your life you hope you see. And I'll tell you what folk the ABC, Peter Jennings did call the race in essence last night at half time on Monday night football. But the fact is a guy here from Tennessee is absolutely correct there are....in fact Nightline Friday night did a story on should the networks project the results of the presidential race before the polls close on the left coast. And they skirted the main reason why they shouldn't. They touched on it but not enough. And I want to expand on that a little bit because it is right in context here with the need here to make sure you vote, because there are so many other elections going on besides the presidential race. Quick break, back with more in a moment. Don't go away. Commercial Rush L - On the cutting edge of societal evolution, the Rush Limbaugh, a special non-partisan edition of the Rush Limbaugh program on the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative studies today. Friday night, Nightline did a special show on - should the networks project the presidential winner when they know it even if it is before the polls close in California. And we discussed that on this program and when you get down to it, if the networks know, others know and you're not going to be able to keep these people quiet, the Internet types and you know, local broadcasters. Once somebody knows it - once the exit polling data is in and if everybody is going to swear by it and they've got it, they're going to run with it. But there is something here that does have to be taken into account when talking about left coast voters and that is you think I'm looking at California, like I told you my friends, I do show prep in a far more circuitous and thorough way than most hosts have even thought about. I watch the West Coast feeds of certain network broadcasts just to get a feel for the LA/San Francisco/Seattle/Portland markets just to find out and you learn so much from advertising in addition to local news. And you go out there and take a look at all of the ballot initiatives in California for example that are being contested. I mean the number of political ads in California for ballot initiatives dwarfs the number of ads for Clinton/Gore and Dole/Kemp. These issues are just as important to Californians as the presidential race in many cases. So if you're driving to the polling place - California, you hear that the presidential race has been decided because of a network projection based on exit polling data, are you more or less inclined to go to the polls and vote on the local issues. In some cases you might say yeah, because these local issues have much more draw than the presidential race - people are going to vote on those anyway no matter what because they're not projected - because nobody knows. But that is something to consider in all this and the thing that came out of Friday's show - the zinger that came out of the Nightline Show is this, that the networks - and I'm not talking about Koppel. Koppel introduced some staff people at the network which deal in this - their whole job is to analyze data both pre-election and exit polling data and come up with enough iron-clad info to make a projection. The clear conclusion was that the networks don't mind at all influencing the outcome of things. And that is the bottom line - they don't mind at all influencing the outcome of things because they say it can't be helped. They don't mind influencing - in other words this is how you influence the outcome. Let's say you're in line - let's say you're standing in a long line in California to vote and the word spreads - hey, ABC just projected Dole to win the presidency and you're so stunned and you can't believe it, you just say, the hell with this, I'm just going home especially if you're a Clinton supporter. Hell with this, I'm going...... you leave and you don't vote in the local issues out there because of a projection that has been made in the presidential race. And the networks say - we can't - hey look, our job is to be first with the news when we have it and we've got to trust the intelligence and the civic responsibility of the voters. It's not our fault if they leave the line. All true, but still you have to understand that what was admitted indirectly was that the networks do not mind influencing the outcome of events, which we all know that, but I mean to have it stated as close to directly as it was Friday night is amazing. Alexandria, VA - this is John, you're on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hello. John - Hello Rush. I can't even believe that I got through to you. Rush L - Well believe it, because you did. John - Okay. The reason I called is because I listened to Perot's argument last night and he just swayed me. I was committed to voting for Howard Phillips and the U.S. Taxpayers Party, and I was also committed to voting against Senator John , because I'm mad at him. But Perot convinced me that we can't, you know, afford four to six more years of..... Rush L - So for whom, I say John, for whom ...... John - Well I had to get on the straight Republican ticket. I went with Dole and I'm trying to get a Congress for him and a Senate that - - Rush L - A question, a question - why did you not vote for Perot if Perot so impressed you last night? John - Well I believe anyone that's you know, thinking about this - I mean for the same reason that I didn't vote for Howard Phillips - that what Perot convinced me not to vote for him. I mean, he convinced me to vote for Dole, because you know when he went through all this litany of things that you know have been corrupting in government, you know, he was talking about Clinton. He had an obligatory swipe against Dole, but I think that was just because he thought he had to. And he himself, I think he was talking about getting 25 percent of the vote. Well, why would I waste my vote on a guy that admits he is only going to get 25 percent. Rush L - And all of this just came to you last night? You had to be building up to this. John - Well, no, I really support you know, what Howard Phillips has to say you know. And you know, I was hoping if he made some kind of a showing now it might strengthen his base for the future but I just don't think that can wait. Rush L - Well here you have it my friends and this is an interesting story because it does illustrate how Perot takes votes away from the incumbent and if you saw Perot's informercial last night, there's no question he was going out after Clinton. And the guy here is right, it was an obligatory swipe at Dole on the sugar money out of Florida. This was clearly an attack on the incumbent. And so well John thanks for the call. I appreciate your getting through here. Glen Rock, New Jersey - Joe you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program, Hello. Joe - Hello Rush. It's good to talk to you Rush. You're making my day. I got up early this morning to go and vote and this afternoon I got lucky enough first time caller to get through to you. Rush L - So you voted for Dole? Joe - Oh Absolutely. Rush L - The exit polling data continues to mount up so it looks like a Dole sweep ladies and gentlemen. Joe - That was the easiest vote I ever had. You know what I wanted to talk to you about Rush - I have been kinda getting nauseous here watching the television with Clinton always bragging about how the economy is doing so good and everything is going well, everyone is doing so good, we're paying more taxes than we've ever paid and what does the government have to do with the economy? Do you know what the government has to do with the economy because I don't know. All they do is make it hard. Rush L - I'll give you an example of what..... You know you're right. No, no, let me not argue with you - you're right. On balance the government has nothing to do with it - the most the government can do is harm. But in terms of helping the less government does the more the economy does well. But politicians don't define action by counting how little of it they do. So you're never going to get them to go along with it. Bit Herb Stein, the father of Benjamin Stein, who had a story in last week's Wall Street Journal about if Nixon had had no shame. Benjamin Stein today writes a piece - How do we know we're better off than we were four years ago. How many of us have sat down and put a pencil and paper to our financial circumstances of the past four years and actually and actually come to a mathematically financial conclusion that we're better off. His projection is that nobody has done that. So what are people using as the basis for saying they're doing better now than they were four years ago. And Herb Stein said its feelings. It's feelings. People feel better, confident, what have you. And this goes right back to what we were discussing earlier about the soccer mom, and that is that Bill Clinton - and your question too Joe, what's Clinton done for the economy - nothing, but he somehow has made people feel Okay about it. People's feelings are what are the determining factors here. I think it's a good point and there is a lesson in there for - I've said this many times - the Republicans in the budget battle for example, too much green eye shade, too many numbers, the growth rates, this and that and so forth and the opponents didn't deal with numbers at all. The opponents made audacious statements, audacious claims - said we're going to do this, and this, and this and then after a pass of time claimed credit for it whether it happened or not. And all of it is based on good vibes, good feelings and so forth and in the meantime we're still running around talking about we inched down here, we inched up there, and numbers are tough to follow anyway and there is nothing sexy about em. But there are the ultimate proof and since we are people of reason and we want to persuade people with reason and not to get them on emotion we keep pummelling with numbers, hoping that they'll understand the facts and the truth about it all. Quick break. We'll be back with more on this special non-partisan edition of the Rush Limbaugh election day special after this. Commercial Rush L - Back on the phones now on the Rush Limbaugh program, EIB Network on election day. Bruce in Tucson - Hi sir. Bruce - Hi Rush. Good to talk to you. Rush L - Thank you very much. Nice to hear from you. Bruce - Just wanted you to know that I'm a life long Democrat, 53 years of age, have always voted straight Democrat until today. I voted straight Republican and my wife did too and we will continue to do so. Rush L - Whew. Wow, our exit polling data from Arizona is piling up fast. Not yet able to make a projection there but we're getting closer. What was it that turned your vote? Bruce - Liberalism does not work. It's as simple as that. Rush L - So you feel abandoned by the Democratic Party in essence. Bruce - Most definitely. Most definitely Rush L - This is really the first time you've voted a Republican ticket. Bruce - Yes sir. Rush L - Well welcome home. I mean I tell you I love new friends. Bruce - Well, we appreciate it. Rush L - Thank you very much Bruce. Bruce - You bet. Rush L - Appreciate the phone call. There is a lot of people I guess carrying around a lot of baggage who want to rid themselves of if; to be able to go into this season feeling free of mind. They want to rid themselves of the terrible weighty burden of guilt. So they do two things. They vote and then call here to tell the world what they've done. Hastings, Minnesota - Bonnie, hello, welcome to the program. Bonnie - Hi Rush. Nice to talk to you. Rush L - Hi. Nice to hear from you too. Bonnie - We turned on to you a couple of years ago from my brother in Sacramento, Mike and my mom here in Hastings. And it's been great, it's been a relief hearing what you say. Rush L - Thank you, thank you. You tell them I appreciate all they've done. Bonnie - I'm calling because I work for the Post Office and a poster went up in the break room a couple of days ago. And it is a woman with a tear in her eye coming down her cheek and it says Congress does not have to explain to your family about privatization, you do. Get out there and vote. You know and the implication - and you know it's right above the trash can on the wall and I felt like throwing it in the trash. Rush L - What is the implication. What implication are you drawing, what inference should I say are you drawing? Bonnie - Well the liberalness of it all that - you know the poster is made by the union - Rush L - But do you feel threatened by this poster in any way? Bonnie - I feel insulted. My intelligence. I wanted to throw it in the trash can. It was insulting to intelligent people, because I know the truth about it. I'm willing to go privatization to do what needs to be done. I have no fear about loosing my job. I work, I do my job. I work hard..... Rush L - And you're proud and happy to judged on the merits of your performance. You're afraid of nothing. Bonnie - Definitely. I've gotten a lot of jobs. I've quit jobs left and right, you know exploring and doing other things and I've never had trouble finding another job. Rush L - Bonnie this is great. I'm flattered that you called. Bonnie - Oh it's great. This is the first time I've ever tried. It has taken me two hours to do it today but Rush L - Well congratulations. Persistence pays off - another sterling quality you no doubt possess that enables you to get the job done. Terrific. Thanks very much for the phone call. Appreciate it. You've got to ask yourself a question, when the Republicans hold the house, what will big labor leaders say to their union membership. Because after big labor has attempted to destroy the careers of 75 Republicans in order to buy the House of Representatives and when tonight it is known that that effort failed, what can be big labor expect from Republicans in response. Not targeted but why should the Republicans be friendly to big labor now. Why should they, why should they, I mean labor rank and file is gonna have to wonder here. All this money and they were unable to buy Congress. They've got a lot of things they've got to ask about. Quick break. We'll be back with more in just a second. Don't go away. Commercial Rush L - It's the EIB Network and our special non-partisan election day special on the Rush Limbaugh program and we have with us on the phone ladies and gentlemen vice presidential candidate on the Republican ticket, Jack Kemp. Welcome to the program sir. Jack K - Hey Rush. How're you doing man. Rush L - I'm superb. Where are you today. Jack K - I'm on a freeway in Los Angeles, going out to Pepperdine University with my wife and son and John Mackey of the Baltimore Colts and we're having a great time. I was in Cape Girard and saw your... is your brother David? Rush L - Yeah Jack K - Yeah, I saw Dave in Cape Girard. I even quoted the great Rush Limbaugh. Rush L - No kidding. Well you know he called. He was all excited you were coming to town. He has admired you, I've got to tell you, he's admired you for more years than you know. Jack K - Well it was a lot of fun. Well thank you. I was sorry I didn't get to meet your mom. Rush L - Well she's sorry too. I'm surprised it didn't happen, that she wasn't there to greet you off the airplane first Jack K - Well the weather wasn't that good at the moment but .... What's going on? Rush L - Well I'll tell you what. We're conducting our own exit polls strategy here and we've projected West Virginia, and a township in Michigan so far... Jack K - Oh good .... Rush L - And we close to Florida. I mean seriously I got so many Democrats that have called today saying that they have switched, that they're not going for this anymore. I don't know how much we can make it. We're having a lot of fun here. The mood is up. People are enthusiastic and they're positive and I think... Jack K - Well I am too Rush. I tell you we've been all over the country - from Florida and Missouri to Tennessee, Ohio and now California. I think people really respect the effort that Bob Dole has made in the past and is making today and for the last 96 hours and I think they want a president that they can trust, a president of whom they can feel proud and who will restore honor and integrity and character to the White House. Rush L - Amen to that. And that seems to be the message that everybody calling here is echoing. Now are you in California for the day. Is this where you're... Jack K - We've been in California for the last 24 hours and we're going to a final get out the vote rally at Pepperdine University in Santa Monica, California and then go back and start watching the returns. Rush L - Where are you going to be doing that - have you got a hotel suite? Jack K - Yeah, we're at the Hyatt and the Marriott in Irvine, California. I was born in LA and my wife Joann was born in , California, Ventura County, California so it's kind of a home coming. We've got all of our family here and John Mackey of the Baltimore Colts, Dr. , the president of Howard University and Bob Woodson from the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise. Bennett is coming out later today he and his wife Elaine, so we're going to be among family, friends and old football comrades in arms. Rush L - I remember you saying before you were asked to be on the ticket - you were saying you were getting ready to head off into a different area of life - how has the experience been. Has it been what you thought it would be, have you enjoyed it? Jack K - I've really enjoyed it. I don't mean to be giddy about it; I'm not giddy, but Joann and I have had a wonderful time. Men and women of faith, Jew, Gentile. Catholic, Protestant, Black, White - all over the country - praying for the leadership of this nation and wanting to restore the type of honor and credibility, domestically and in foreign policy, upon which our nation was built and certainly upon which the Reagan revolution was built. I believe Bob Dole clearly will put this country on the right track for the 21st century. Rush L - Now you live in Washington but you travel around a lot... Jack K - We have lived in Bethesda, Maryland. We've lived there every since I went to Congress in 1970 of course I've played football for the San Diego Chargers and the Buffalo Bills, so we have lived in a lot of different cities. inaudible . Washington, D.C. our nation's capital ought to be an Enterprise Zone; it won't happen under Bill Clinton - it will happen under Bob Dole and Jack Kemp. Rush L - Well, you've seen a lot of America. What (we have 30 seconds here) what impressions have you noted that have changed in this campaign you have been out.... Jack K - I think after the World Series, after the Yankees won the World Series with all due respect to the Braves, I think people began to focus in on what type of a White House, what type of a country, what type of a Congress and I believe we will recapture the Congress but they really got tired of the Indonesian scandal, the Taiwanese money coming into America, the Russian - the stories of the White House being put up for sale and I believe they're going to restore respect to the White House by electing Bob Dole the next president. Rush L - Thank you for the call. We're out of time. That's Jack Kemp in California. This a special non-partisan edition of the Rush Limbaugh election day program. Commercial and News Rush L - Hello my friends, how are you. It's nice to have you along. This is the Rush Limbaugh program on the excellence in broadcasting network, we come to you today direct from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. I'm firmly ensconced behind this - The golden EIB microphone broadcast excellence - another hour of it straight ahead. Telephone number is 800-282-2882. Nice to have you along my friends. Federal regulations require that all electioneering and partisanship cease on commercial broadcast facilities during election day - during the hours that the polls are open. And the only place the polls are not open when this program is on the air is Guam. However, my friends there are ways around the federal regulations and one of the ways around is simply to proclaim that this is not a partisan broadcast. So therefore we are abiding by all federal regulations. There is no partisanship on the program today. This is a special non-partisan edition of the Rush Limbaugh program. We just concluded a conversation in a purely non-partisan way with Republican Vice Presidential candidate Jack Kemp last hour. Now to show that we are balanced and to prove that this is a non-partisan program - we're not here to anger anybody, clearly we're not here to tick anybody off. We will now as we have been doing all day, feature a campaign speech from a member of the Democratic Party since we have spoken early today to Vice President Candidate Jack Kemp. Here, ladies and gentlemen from one of his most well-known and famous campaign appearances in Texas is Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton - I have been trying to think of a diplomatic way to ask for one of these pick-ups behind me. I owned, when I was a younger man and had a life I owned an El Cameno pick up in the 70's. It was a real sort of southern deal. I had astro turf in the back. You don't want to know why but I did. Rush L - That was from back in the 70's when he says he had a life. Not wife, he meant life that was pre-wife. Bill Clinton in a campaign speech reminiscing about the good old days with astro turf in the back of his El Cameno. Special non-partisan edition of Rush Limbaugh program. Some of you apparently don't know this. Based on a call we got earlier in the program, Michael Jackson claims he is going to be a father and that he has impregnated the women. It was not artificial but it was real. The woman's name is Debbie Rowe. She is 37 years old and she will bear his child. Said Michael Jackson, I'm thrilled that I will soon be a father and am looking forward with great anticipation to having this child. This is my dream come true. Billy Jean - you can make of that whatever you wish being that this is a non-partisan program today ladies and gentlemen no comments will be forth coming from me. Santa Monica, California, an 18 year old high school senior, working at the court house where O.J. Simpson's civil trial is going on, says she is upset and scared, because O.J. Simpson has been asking her out and sexually harassing her. At least 3 times spectators and court officials have seen O.J. Simpson demonstrate suggestive behavior to blonde, blue eyed Amber McGrath, a paid intern who works half days helping the court administrator. McGrath said that Simpson invited her to his home last Thursday for a Halloween party. So what are you doing tonight, McGrath says he asked her, why don't you come over to my place and party said O.J. McGrath turned him down. Here he is at the trial involving the death of his ex-wife who he was supposed to be in love with and he's hitting on me, she says. McGrath did nothing to encourage the situation so goes the story. She had been doing a fabulous job. She was instructed to have no contacts with the parties in this and she has been following instructions. So, O.J. Simpson attempting to hit on an 18 year old, as it says here, blonde, blue eyed intern at the court house. This is a non-partisan program and therefore there'll no comment. What are you saying Mr. Snerdly. I don't know why - obviously she doesn't think that he's innocent. Mr. Snerdly asked why is she scared, obviously he is innocent. Apparently she doesn't think so. This is a story out of San Diego. Cabinet members Henry Cisneros and Federico Pena canceled their appearance at a Latino get out the vote rally yesterday, after protesters took over the bandstand at Chicano Park. About 30 supports of the Rousa Rights Coalition gathered in Chicano Park before the scheduled 3:30 P.M. start time, said they would not allow the two highest ranking Latinos in the Clinton administration to speak. They claimed that Clinton and the Democratic Party have not done enough to help Hispanics. With its colorful murals covering the concrete pillars beneath the Coranado Bridge, Chicano Park is a powerful symbol to some activists of a Hispanic struggle against oppression. Denise Marino DuChaney, a Democrat Assembly Woman in the State of California said I think it's unfortunate that San Diego won't get to see Cisneros and Pena. It's ironic that this rally would have talked about Prop 209 and minority rights. I don't know quite what the purpose of the protest is. About 100 people had gathered in the park to watch the scheduled entertainment and participate in the rally which was canceled by 30 irate Latinos. I want to read to you a quote here from a protester - a high school senior, named Rubin Guttearis. "I could understand where the anger is coming from because Prop 187 and Prop 209 was brought up by Pete Wilson and people like him. They say that Prop 209 will make things equal. Well eliminating Affirmative Action is going to eliminate our rights" said Rubin Guttearis. Mr. Guttearis, in case you're skipping school today like you were yesterday and are by chance listening to this program let me say something to you sir. Your statement that eliminating Affirmative Action is going to eliminate your rights is wrong. What you really mean is - and admit this sir, admit this - what you really mean is that eliminating Affirmative Action is going to eliminate your special privileges, because he has been documented that in the State of California, in civic civil service jobs, state oriented jobs, Latinos would loose thousands of jobs of Prop 209 were defeated. The reason is that Affirmative Action requires an equal representation - proportionate representation to the population figures in jobs and in college admissions and there are already more Latinos in these civil service jobs are required under proportionate requirements based on the population. So some Latinos would have to be fired. In addition 10,362 Blacks would have to loose their jobs, 7,413 women and 3,606 Filipinos if Prop 209 were defeated. See if Prop 209 is passed all these people keep their jobs because their skin color doesn't matter. It's amazing, it's amazing, these people are just absolute whackos. They're pure whackos. But here's a guy, 18 year old, who has been totally bought. He's had his mind totally brain washed by this whole concept here. San Francisco story here - a governing board of San Francisco approved legislation Monday that would bar San Francisco from signing contracts with companies that do not offer the same benefits to domestic partners as married couples. This is a proposal that Willie Brown is very proud of. The mayor is likely to sign the legislation - the mayor supports the concept of equal rights and benefits for domestic partners. He won't sign until he has seen it, but in concept the mayor is very supportive. It's the kind of legislation the mayor is likely to sign. So here is the City of San Francisco telling businesses how they must run if they expect to do business with the city and if this goes against the grain of the morality of the company, so be it. They must cave to the declining morality of the City of San Francisco. Quick break here folks and back with more voters as our exit poll continues on this special non-partisan edition of the Rush Limbaugh election day program. Commercials Rush L - We are back, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, 800-282- 2882. You know there has been a lot of talk the past couple of days about the President's push for 50 percent of the vote and people have been saying he wants a mandate. He wants a mandate to be able to go out there and do battle with a potentially Republican Congress, Republican Senate. He wants to make sure he has the power of the people. Folks that's all smoke; that is all BS; that is all Barbara Striesand. Let me tell you right now the one and only reason why Bill Clinton wants 50 percent. If he gets 50 or more percent, he can go on television Wednesday afternoon and claim that the voters of America have acquitted him and his friends of all charges. If he gets 50 percent of the vote in a three way race, he will be able to go to the American people and say - see these are tired of all this pursuing me, these things that are irrelevant and don't matter, they've held us back. We've got to build a bridge to the 21st Century. And the voters have said they want all of this stuff just swept away, it not productive. They want to get rid of it and I'm hereby pardoning everybody because the people have demanded it. It would be tougher to do that but he would still do it. Don't misunderstand but it would be tougher to do with say 43, 44 - it would be tougher to say the American people have said X with less than 50 percent. If he gets 50 percent of the vote - that's what he is running around. He wants a Democratic Congress. BS, that's not what he's doing. He doesn't care about a Democratic Congress - he cares about his lily-white rear end. And now our special non-partisan election day special continues. Here is Paul in Salem, Ohio. Welcome to the EIB Network sir. Paul - Rush, mega non-partisan dittos from Mahoney County, the district of Jimmy Trafica. In fact he has a farm about 1/4 mile down the road from me. Rush L - Thank you for the call sir, and do you ever say hi to him? Paul - Yes I do, in fact I have an antique car and I stopped to see him one day and my car wouldn't start and he pushed it - by hand. Rush L - Well now, there is a strong guy. There is a guy not appealing to people on the verge of tears. Paul - Yes. He is a non-partisan, Democrat, Congressman. Rush L - I know, yeah, I do know that, yes. Paul - Once in a while, I'll see him on his tractor with a straw hat with an adult beverage - at least I think it is an adult beverage. Rush L - Well you're looking at from a long distance. You're really not sure what kind of beverage that is. Paul - No, I'm not sure, but I think it probably is. What I wanted to bring up was Soccor Mom Syndrome. Rush L - Soccor Mom Syndrome. Paul - Year, I think what it, it is another one of the liberal media ploy, it is another straw they're piling ont the camel's back. They have. Who's going to be against a soccor mom, or what a soccor mom stands for. And who is going to be for An angry White male. Rush L - You know, I think you have a point. I got a call from some reporter the other day and I didn't talk to them because obviously he had never listened to the program but he wanted to know where the angry White men of 1994 have gone and who are these Soccer Moms and you've nailed it. They now want to replace the Angry White men who gave us Republicans with the loving, compassionate, heart felt support of the Soccer Moms. You're right, who could oppose the Soccer Mom - they're out there with the kids, they're out at the grocery store, they're helping the kids fight off the evils of society. Yeah, you've got a good point there. Paul - Yeah, Mom, apple pie and you know, the whole bit. Rush L - Bill Clinton. Paul - And Rush one more thing. Put Ohio in the win call. My wife and I both voted for Dole this morning. Rush L - So that two, that two votes - I think on the basis of our exit polling data so far, your two votes are able, we are therefore able with your two votes to project Bob Dole the winner in Ohio based on our exit polling sample on the Rush Limbaugh program today. So, so far we have given Dole, Dole is the winner in Florida, Ohio, Tennessee and Glen Arbor Township in Michigan. Still too soon to call the state of Michigan. But we have called Glen Arbor Township for Dole. I don't know how many more states we're going to be able to rack up here before our program ends in about 1/2 hour. But our exit polling data continues to pile and it looks like a much better day for Bob Dole than any of the experts had forecast. Teaneck, New Jersey - a cellular call from Maurice or Morris. Which is it? Maurice - Maurice. Immigrant Maurice was originally from Italy. Mauritso would be an Italian but be that as it may. Let me just say that I think the Republicans in spite what has been said previously and what I thought previously, I think they ran a very smart race. They held the personal attack ads till late, came out with them strong and I think that will make a difference. I of course voted late today - I voted strict Republican down the line. But Rush, I want to ask you a question about Camille Polyer and what did you think of her. And did you see her speak before Yale (?) Rush L - I didn't see - when did she speak before .... Maurice - I believe it was Saturday or Sunday ... Rush L - No, I didn't see it. Maurice - It might have been a repeat but I thought she was wonderful and she recommended that all women learn football. And that the next President of the United States was going to be a female and was going to be a football fan. She was a very interesting speaker and I was very much enthralled with her. Rush L - I have met Camille Polyer. Let me tell you what happened. I'd long been aware of her. I had seen her on C-Span, I'd seen her make speeches, 60 Minutes did a profile where Gloria Steinmann got mad at her. I love anybody that makes these feminists mad and Camille Polyer - the thing I noticed about her - she is a rapid fire speaker - sounds like fast forward or rewind on your cassette tape recorder but she never stutters or stumbles over anything. So I am invited by 60 Minutes to the 25th Anniversary Party of 60 Minutes which was held at the Museum of Modern Art, high on Fifth Avenue at 83rd Street, here in Manhattan. They held this party in one of the exhibits, the Kingdom of Tumbor or Dum Dum or whatever it is, I can't remember the name of the exhibit. What is it - I can't remember it - and I don't mean to be insulting to it - I just don't know what it was, don't remember it. A lot of people who were there were people who had been profiled by 60 Minutes and I had been which is why I was invited. They sat me at a table with Camille Polyer, Maurice. Steve Croft was behind us I later learned. The idea was that I am this supposed anti-woman, anti- feminist hating monster and here is Camille Polyer, apparently the epitome of the antithesis of me. So they seat us together and the first thing Camille Polyer does is come over and start talking to me about how much she respects what I do on the basis of the First Amendment. She thinks that it is horrible what people are saying about me and she says that everybody at the table ought to listen to Rush Limbaugh. I was so moved - I gave her a fine premium cigar and she smoked it. And of course, I suspect nothing at the beginning, I suspect nothing because I think the best of everybody. I think well this is interesting, I'm sitting her with Camille Polyer - but that was the only questionable person at the table in terms of you know enemies - you know Tony Guida, a local anchor of Channel 2 in New York was there, a couple of CBS types, and then Camille Polyer. And during the dinner only 60 Minutes types keep strolling around the room casually hanging around my table. Croft comes over. Andy Looney, is sitting at the next table over. Charles Kerualt, they're all wavering around, and I said what's going on around here. They're expecting fire works. They arranged this seating arrangements so that there would be fireworks at their bash. And they were stunned, ladies and gentlemen, that Camille Polyer and I would get along. They were absolutely stunned, That is my only personal contact with her and I found her to be enjoyable. She does somethings that I think are - as I'm sure she would say about me - she's got some things about her that I don't particularly agree with, but she is dead right on about the feminist movement and how phony it is and how misleading it is for women and she does not only believe football, she thinks that rock and roll is a fundamental aspect of the formulation of anybody's decent personality. We could argue about that. But she does think that football is the best way for women to learn to understand men. Get into football, enjoy it and you'll understand everything you need to know about men, and she may have a point. Are we that simple though? Commercials Rush L - The Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the Rush Limbaugh program - get this ladies and gentlemen. A television station in Fresno, KSEE-TV, it the NBC affiliate there, says that they will pass up broadcasting network projections in the election. The General Manager again is Marty Edelman, He said that viewers who want network projections of the presidential winner, will have to turn to other stations because his will not carry them. The idea is to avoid discouraging voters who might stay away from polls thinking that their ballot no longer count in electing the president. There's one TV station in Fresno not going to run Brokaw's projections tonight. Here is Frances in Independence, Missouri - Harry Truman country. Hello. Frances - Yes. Hello. I've never ... I tried to call in. This is the first time and I think my husband had something to do with it because he is up above right now. And he was going to vote for Dole and Kemp like we did. This is the first time we've done this. We've always been Democrats. Rush L - Really. Frances - And my daughter is going to vote for Dole and Kemp after work. Rush L - We're able to project Independence, Missouri for Bob Dole, ladies and gentlemen, that precinct. What changed your mind? Frances - The nonsense that has been going on for four years and it's just torture for me and my husband too, of course like I said he just passed away July lst. But he was hoping to vote for them and he always listened to you and he got me started, and for the last four years or more that's what we've been doing. And so my daughter voted the other way last time but she said she is going to vote for Kemp and Dole. Rush L - Where does she live? Frances - Right here - about 10 minutes away. Rush L - That's great. Frances - And I like your program, I have it on every day. Rush L - Thank you very, very much. Well, you're very kind to call and I'm very glad that you got through. Frances - On yes, my husband had something to do with it from above I keep telling you. Rush L - No doubt,. Frances - I think he did. Rush L - No doubt. Now you've been a life-long Democrat you say. Frances - Oh yes. Rush L - Now look I don't want you to take this personally but we've been hearing this a lot today and we haven't heard this before today - not nearly in as great a number as we have today. How long have you been upset with the current leadership of the Democratic Party? Frances - Well we noticed that four years ago, but you know Ross Perot was in there, you know, and we said well we'll give that a try. And we did but my daughter made a big mistake and she voted for the one that's there now. Rush L - That would be der slickmeister. Frances - Yes, yes and we never told her dad - because she said don't tell Dad I did this. Rush L - That's wonderful. How old is your daughter? Frances - She's 37. Rush L - Still concerned with her father's approval. That's what makes America great - at 37 still didn't want to disappoint Dad. Frances - That's right. Rush L - I love that. Frances - We sure miss him, but anyway he was going to come and vote for him too, but he got me hooked up with you and I've never talked to anybody on long distance before - meaning you... Rush L - On a talk show. Yeah. Frances - That's right and.... Rush L - Well I'm honored that you chose this show to make your first call to a talk show. Frances - Well I could've if my husband would have hooked me up. Rush L - Well he did. Frances - Yes, he did and I really enjoy it and I enjoy all things you say about your wife and you're always so.... Rush L - So is she, so is she. Frances - Yes, and I'm real happy and I hope that this ticket wins. I really do. Rush L - Well thank you very much Frances. It means a lot that you called. Thanks so much. Frances - Okay. Thank you. Rush L - Tammy is Oakland, I'm sorry Orland, California. Tammy welcome to the program. You're on the Rush Limbaugh show. Tammy - Well dittos Rush. Rush L - Thank you. Tammy - It's great to talk to you again. Rush L - Thank you very much. Tammy - It's been six years. Rush L - Six years? Tammy - Six years Rush L - Well, welcome back. Tammy - Still Republican, having a good time today. Rush L - Excellent. So are we. Tammy - I live right across the street from my polling place and it has been brisk today. Rush L - Has it been busy? Tammy - Yes, it has been very busy. In fact I had to wait because it was standing room only over there. Rush L - You're kidding. This was no expected - that networks said the turnout would be very, very low. Tammy - Well no one is watching the news. We're very excited and we just going to wait till after the polls close and then we're going to turn the news on. Rush L - Good for you. You're Republican and I'm assuming that you voted (End) RUSLIMB2
