RUSH: You know, you cannot escape it, and I guess it\u2019s somewhat understandable. There is pessimism all over the country now. Pessimism abounds. You\u2019ve got the eager excitement of the left. The left is dancing on the grave of George W. Bush all over the place, and there are a few conservatives who are practically calling him dead meat and we may as well forget about him and try to do what we can do here to stanch the damage of the Bush administration. Yes, there are conservatives <\/emphasize>that are saying this, and I was really tempted today to open the program as one of those angry, pessimistic conservatives and just start just reeling off all the failures here and not tell you for 20 minutes or so, and then start taking phone calls. ‘Rush, what\u2019s happened to you?\u2019 I couldn\u2019t do it. I couldn\u2019t do it. I thought about it. Maybe if I were feeling a hundred percent, I could have pulled it off, but I just couldn\u2019t. I didn\u2019t think I could pull it off believably so for enough time to make it work, but believe me, it was tempting. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. This is last Friday. This is a press conference, a joint press conference with Vladimir Putin. An unidentified reporter said, ‘With billions of dollars flowing out of Washington for hurricane relief, some Republicans are worried that you\u2019re writing a blank check that will have to be paid by future generations. Who is going to have to pay for this recovery, sir?\u2019<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: You bet it\u2019s going to cost money but I\u2019m confident we can handle it, and I\u2019m confident we can handle it with other priorities. It\u2019s going to mean that we\u2019re going to have to cut unnecessary spending. It\u2019s going to mean that we\u2019ve got to maintain economic growth and therefore we should not raise taxes. Our working people have had to pay a tax in essence by higher gasoline prices, and we don\u2019t need to be taking more money out of their pocket.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And the president continued with this.<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: There\u2019s a big role for the federal government. There\u2019s a big role for private sector, and that\u2019s why I call for economic growth zones, economic enterprise zones. There\u2019s not going to be any revenues coming out of that area for a while anyway so we might well give them good tax relief in order to get jobs there and investment there. It makes sense. The entrepreneurial spirit is what\u2019s going to help lift this part of the world up.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what the president says. A lot of people — and you may be one of them — are terribly upset about all this money being spent, and I mentioned last week on the program, Thursday or Friday, don\u2019t remember which, that this is actually required by statute. A lot of people said, ‘Well, what\u2019s statute? It\u2019s easy for you to say; what statute?\u2019 The statute is the Stafford Act, folks, and I don\u2019t want to go into a lot of minutia here, but the Stafford Act dates back to 1988. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. It\u2019s 42 United States Code Sections 5121 to 5206, and it is triggered by a major disaster declaration like Hurricane Katrina. It means that the federal share is required to be at least 75% of the reconstruction costs for public infrastructure, which, of course, is a huge portion of total costs, and when you have extraordinary circumstances like Hurricane Hugo and Hurricane Andrew and the Oklahoma City bombing, the terrorist attacks of 9\/11, presidents have approved up to 100% of the federal share. So there is a statutory requirement to this that undergirds all this. Now, this is not to say that the president\u2019s not eager to spend the money, but as we talked about last week, I put forth a plan: the Limbaugh Plan. We put that plan at RushLimbaugh.com. We asked all of you to send in your ideas. Well, those of you who are subscribers at Rush 24\/7<\/a> because that\u2019s where the super-secret e-mail address that accesses Koko the webmaster, so he can read the e-mails, and we put some up there. Some good ideas into the ones that I have put forward, and in addition, folks, I have to tell you some Republican congressman are coming forth, congresspersons are coming forth, with similar ideas. In fact, there was even in phone call on C-SPAN happened Saturday morning. I don\u2019t know who the host was. The call is from Victor from Silver Springs, Maryland.<\/p>\n

C-SPAN CALLER: I heard a really great plan yesterday. It\u2019s called the Limbaugh Plan, and what it is is you rewrite the highway bill, the energy bill, and all the other bills. Get all the pork out of it, and then you make sure the money does not go to the liberals who ruined things in the first place, especially down in Louisiana where the liberals have ran things for 60 years. It\u2019s just a total failure, and everybody can see how liberalism has failed miserably.<\/emphasize><\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, I didn\u2019t see this myself; Cookie was watching it. But she tells me that the host had no comment. You can imagine the C-SPAN sitting there and the caller calls in suggesting the Limbaugh Plan, but there was no comment to this. It does make all the sense in the world, and in fact, in the Stack of Stuff I have all kinds of documentation furthering the concept here that the disaster down there, contrary to what Bill Clinton wants to say was actually brought on by incompetence of local and state officials — and, by the way, people are saying, “Let\u2019s join hands.” By the way, did you notice for a time, until Clinton appeared Sunday — now, this was fascinating to me — there was a poll that came out. A Fox News Opinion Dynamics poll that came out. Let me give you the progression of events. On Saturday morning I see Donna Brazile with an op-ed piece in the Washington Post and basically she is praising the president\u2019s speech on Thursday night. The greatest speech! She wants to help him. She\u2019s from New Orleans. She wants to help him. She\u2019s registering for the Army. She wants to get in there, get her hands dirty and help him put that place back together, and I\u2019m saying, “Whoa! Whoa! What is this?” Well, it has to be damage control, has to be a damage control op-ed based on the ABC show Thursday night following the president\u2019s speech where all those New Orleans residents outside the Astrodome praised the speech, and then later in the day on Saturday I\u2019m seeing Dingy Harry and some of the other Democrats saying, “Well, we need to put the partisanship aside here and we need to get together, work with this and stop pointing fingers.”<\/line>Whoa, what\u2019s going on? I\u2019m thinking there\u2019s got to be a poll coming somewhere. There has to be a poll coming that shows that the Democrats are losing big by pointing fingers of blame at Bush and that they\u2019re not in touch with the actual people who live in the Astrodome, escaped from New Orleans, and a light went off. Those people haven\u2019t seen the coverage. Those people haven\u2019t seen the coverage! Those people haven\u2019t. From the time they left New Orleans to the time they got in the Superdome and moved over into the Astrodome or wherever else, they are they haven\u2019t seen all this coverage bashing Bush and so you\u2019ve got really some honest opinions from people on that ABC show Thursday night before they had been touched by media coverage. Then the Brazile piece comes and then all these Democrats start talking about how we need to start working together to put this back together, and I said, “There\u2019s gotta be a poll coming. They have to have heads up on a poll that shows that most people are not down on Bush for the way they\u2019ve handled this,” and, lo and behold a Fox News\/Opinion Dynamics poll on Saturday night pretty much showed. I don\u2019t have this poll in front of me. Then that all was cast aside when Bill Clinton went on Stephanopoulos on Sunday, and when Clinton went on Stephanopoulos, he turned it all back on Bush, and I don\u2019t know what the result is going to be with the rest of the Democratic Party on this, but it is clear to me who is running the Democrat Party is the kook fringe. They\u2019re the ones that are raising the money. They\u2019re the ones that are having secret meetings with Hillary. She\u2019s talking to these kook fringe bloggers and so forth on the left. So I suspect that there\u2019s an undercurrent out there nationally that is not at all — I\u2019m not surprised by this — not at all represented by the coverage of the mainstream press. I\u2019m talking about a public opinion, and a public attitude. <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: Okay, back to the audio sound bites. The roundtable discussion on This Week with Stephanopoulos yesterday, featured Sam Donaldson. They went back to the major leagues, ladies and gentlemen, for some commentators on the roundtable, and listen to this.<\/line>STEPHANOPOULOS: Listen, I was watching on ABC on Thursday night. Some of the victims we collected in Houston loved it. They loved every single word. You hear Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd in the New York Times completely panned it —<\/line>VOICE: (laughter)<\/line>VOICE: No surprise!<\/line>STEPHANOPOULOS: It\u2019s not surprising, there, and as far as this debate we just saw about how to pay for it, I just wondered, what\u2019s your take? <\/line> DONALDSON: Well, if I were a victim, I\u2019d love it, too. If you say to me, “Anything you want, anything it takes, without a plan, maybe this doesn\u2019t make sense, but, no, we\u2019ll just do it,” and that\u2019s what the president said, I would just think that was wonderful. Now, if I had to pay for it, that\u2019s another thing. <\/line>RUSH: Sam\u2019s going conservative in his old age here, folks! I wonder if he realizes how much like pessimistic conservatives he sounds there. Well, he does, Mr. Snerdley. “Well, I\u2019d love it, too. Anything you want without a plan, maybe just doesn\u2019t make sense, ‘Oh, we\u2019ll just do it.'” Sam, he\u2019s not talking about tax cuts here. He\u2019s talking about your precious federal spending. You ought to be embracing this, you hypocrite! For crying out loud, folks, it\u2019s amazing to watch these people, right before our very eyes turn into absolute fools and idiots. Brian in Louisville, Kentucky, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/line>CALLER: Hey, Rush, tell me what you think about Mayor Ray Nagin acting like he knows everything now and telling everybody can come back and live there and start a business again, when every federal official and expert is telling them not to.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I must tell you — and this may be because of my illness today, but I am really a trooper today, folks, fighting through this little fever today. Yeah, I\u2019m playing hurt. I was doubtful this morning but I showed up. But when I first saw this story, it said, “Mayor Nagin to Repopulate New Orleans,” and I said, “Wow, who are the lucky women?” and then I said, “Wait, that can\u2019t be what he\u2019s talking about.” So I figured that he wants to bring people back early, and, you know, the federal government, you\u2019re right, is saying, “This is not the time. The water is not drinkable yet,” and so forth. Here\u2019s what the president, by the way, this morning said about this. He had a cabinet meeting, and an unidentified reporter said, “Mayor Nagin has invited the people to start returning to the city. A lot of federal officials who feel it\u2019s not safe to do. You feel like you need to step in, sir?”<\/line>THE PRESIDENT: We share the goal of the mayor, but we have got concerns. There are environmental concerns, which Administrator Johnson shared with us today. Let me give you a real concern that I think everybody aught pay attention to, and that is this Tropical Storm Rita, which now looks like it\u2019s going to head out into the Gulf and could track Katrina or it could head further to the west. But nevertheless there is deep concern about this storm causing more flooding in New Orleans, and so Admiral Allen has reflected the concerns of this administration, and we want to work with the mayor. The mayor is working hard. He\u2019s got this dream about having a city up and running, and we share that dream. But we also want to be realistic about some of the hurdles and obstacles.<\/line>RUSH: For my part, I understand the mayor\u2019s desire to get the people in there. I predicted this, folks. I told you it going to be six months. I told you. We ought to go back and get all my predictions on the Monday before the levees even broke, and then Tuesday after the levees broke. We ought to go get my predictions and let you listen to them and see how many of them have come true and how many of them are in the process of coming true about how fast this place would be rebuilt, about how bad it was not <\/emphasize>gonna be, about how fast they would get the water drained out of there, about how quickly they would want to get back to normal — and that\u2019s all the mayor is saying. He simply wants to return to normalcy for himself and for his people. I also think they want to get as many people back there as possible for the elections coming up in 2006.<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Brian in Bloomington, Illinois<\/a>, welcome to the program, nice to have you with us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, how\u2019s it going, man?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Just fine, sir, thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, I want to get your opinion on this Urban Homesteading Initiative. To me it appears to be some sort of veil socialism functioning under the auspices of compassion.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, here\u2019s what it is. You\u2019re talking about the president cited in his speech on Thursday night?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, Thursday, and it\u2019s also in the White House website they talk about it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. The Urban Homestead Act. What President Bush did is ask Congress to approve it ‘in which surplus federal property would be turned over to low income citizens by means of a lottery to build homes with mortgages or assistance from charitable organizations.\u2019 Now, I know that this sounds socialistic to you, but I also want to take you back to a statutory requirement the federal government act in these disasters. The statutory requirement is found in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. It\u2019s 42 US Code sections 5121 to 5206. Now, the Stafford Act is triggered by a major disaster declaration like Hurricane Katrina. It means that the federal share is required to be at least 75%. The federal share requ<\/emphasize>ired to be 75%, and in fact since September 11th hurricanes Hugo and Andrew and the Oklahoma City bombing, presidents have approved up to 100% of the federal share under the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. So this is a federal statute that predates Bush that requires at least 75% of all this assistance come from the federal government. You add to it the Urban Homestead Act, and we\u2019re stuck. I mean, this is what we have to deal with if we\u2019re going to follow the statutes. This is why I said on Friday that, ‘All right, we\u2019re stuck. The federal government is required by law to spend this money.\u2019 Well, what\u2019s new? The federal government\u2019s been spending money on this since 1964. <\/p>\n

The great War on Poverty, LBJ, and, of course, you can find numbers to prove that the Bush administration has spent more per capita on poverty in five years that the Clinton administration did, and I think herein is where I see the opportunity. If there\u2019s a statutory requirement — and there\u2019s not going to be any move to come up with a law rescinding it, so it\u2019s going to survive, the Stafford Act is — I think the opportunity here to demonstrate that when federal largess is distributed under conservative principles by conservatives, that it has a far better chance of being used in a meaningful and productive way. Now, the Urban Homestead Act, again just to be specific, says that ‘Surplus federal property will be turned over to low income citizens by means of a lottery to build homes with mortgages or assistance from charitable organizations.\u2019 When I see mortgage and assistance, I don\u2019t see giveaway. <\/emphasize>I see deals being made. I see an opportunity here for surplus land and property here to be turned over with — and this is the opportunity — with the opportunity for ownership <\/emphasize>to be part of the end result here, rather than just a flat-out giveaway, rather than just a flat-out transfer of wealth, which is what we\u2019ve been doing for 60 years. Look, maybe I\u2019m pie-in-the-sky on this, but I want to repeat again. The president\u2019s not going to say this in these words because he\u2019s not a confrontational guy, and maybe I\u2019m investing too much hope in it. But I could have sworn that I heard him say between the lines — I didn\u2019t hear him say it, but — his intention being, ‘We\u2019ve tried it your way 60 years. We\u2019re going to try it ours,\u2019 and given the requirements of these two federal statutes. There is a way to demonstrate the conservative way of building people up and bringing them out of poverty and keeping them there. This is really — folks, it is a golden opportunity here, if, if <\/emphasize>these principles are incorporated.<\/p>\n
