Time Text
All right, the emails are pouring in here.
Folks, don't sweat it.
I'm not I'm not gonna stop following my instincts on this.
I'm I'm not I'm I'm I'm I'm not gonna repackage my political beliefs to sell them.
I mean, that's I guess what too much of politics is.
It's a product.
If it didn't work in one way, you repackage it for uh for another way.
I don't repackage anything.
I haven't repackaged anything in 19 plus years, I'm not gonna start now.
Well, we will talk about this as the program unfolds.
That and uh a lot of other things.
It's great to have you with us, it really is Rush Limbull behind the golden EIB microphone 800 282-2882.
If you'd like to be on the program, the email address is rush at EIBNet.com.
I want to make a point here about uh it was joking, well, half joking in the last hour.
Played a couple soundbits from Mahmood Ahmadinizad, who's um the media breathlessly awaiting his appearance at Columbia in 23 minutes.
The idiot president of that university continues to maintain a freedom of speech issue, which it isn't.
Uh Columbia is not required to grant him an invitation.
As I said, the real question here is to examine liberals and the way they think about this and the way they plan and the way they want to deal with people like Ahmadinizad.
Hell, I think this guy, what's his name, Bollinger, Lee Mollinger, whatever he's?
He even said, hey, we would have invited Hitler.
What is it tell you?
That's the thing you have to do is go beyond what they say and look at how they react to people who have sworn I mean hell, it was this last week on the eve of his departure for the United States, and Ahmadinizad was telling his people over there, death to America, death to America.
It's no different than what he's been saying for years.
But is it a coincidence that both Ahmadini Zod and Bin Laden are saying the same things?
When they release a tape or when Ahmadinizad gives a speech?
Is it is it a coincidence, for example, that they both recite the Democrat Party platform?
Is it a coincidence that they recite the Democrat Party talking points from both the floor of the House of Representatives, the floor of the U.S. Senate, and many of the major American newspaper editorials today?
Is it a coincidence that you can't tell the difference between Ahmadinizad, Bin Laden, Zawahiri, Dick Durbin, John Kerry, Harry Reed, Take Your Pick, Nancy Pelosi, John Mertha?
Is it any coincidence that that both Ahmadinizad and bin Laden talk about Abu Ghrab?
And Hurricane Katrina and Club Git Mo, and they both cite the election results in 06 and say that they were encouraged?
Is it a coincidence?
It cannot be, ladies and gentlemen.
Cannot be a coincidence.
Why then do both uh bin Laden and Ahmadinizad obsess on this country's political systems and send messages in their speeches for America to follow the course of Democrats?
That's what they're doing.
You I'm gonna I'm gonna answer the question for you.
I'm dead serious about it too.
These people, whoever's doing a bin Laden tapes, if he's alive, it's him, if he's not, it's whoever, but but uh Ahmadinizad we know is alive and well breathing fire.
These guys are both smart enough to realize they don't need to attack America in speeches aimed at U.S. audiences.
Now they in their own in their own countries, their own uh enclaves do nothing but attack America.
But Ahmadinizad's not gonna attack America at Columbia.
He's gonna spout Democrat talking points.
He's gonna talk about how the people of Iran want to help solve America's problems.
America's problems, Ahmadinezad will address.
And he will address them from the same standpoint that U.S. Democrats and liberals uh explain U.S. problems.
Why would Ahmadinizad have to come to Columbia University and attack the United States when the Democrats are already doing the best job it's ever been done at dividing the country and weakening our country from within?
Ahmadizad's probably sitting there saying if we can encourage the American people to elect Democrats again in 2008, we'll never have to fire a missile.
And bin Laden and Zawahiri are probably saying the same thing.
If we can encourage the Democrats to continue to be who they are, divide this country, keep the country royaled, uh, and and do what they can to weaken the United States from within.
Why then doesn't it it uh uh reach the point where it benefits them in the sense they won't have to do anything militarily?
I think look at it, it is it is uh it's something to consider, uh folks, because this is this is uh it's remarkable.
It really is remarkable.
Listen to both of these two enemies, sworn enemies of the United States recite Democrat Party talking points.
Not a coincidence, folks, not a coincidence.
The Democrats, by all rights, with any sense of decency should be embarrassed and angry and should lash back.
Have you heard any of them do so?
No, they're defending his right to speak at Columbia.
Freedom of speech, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
What can we learn?
Ma in their minds, these guys only think what they think because the whole world hates Bush just like they do, and so he may seem even reasonable to American leftists and Democrats, whereas George W. Bush seems maniacal.
Alternative universe time, 180 degrees out of phase.
I want to go a couple of sound bites here.
I commented on this in my speech at Sacramento on Friday.
Dan Rather on Thursday night was on Larry King Live.
King said, in a question to Dan Rather, uh, in essence, you are saying that the network got rid of you, copped out on a report because of appealing to the Bush White House?
Is that what you're saying?
That they were trying to appeal to the Bush White House?
Yes, here's the short answer to that.
But I think that they and others have been doing it to part of Washington's power structure long before then.
And what I'm trying, look, in my own wee small way, perhaps I can't succeed, it is say to people, whether you're Republican, Democrat, liberal conservative, big government and big corporations have far too much influence and are intimidating, especially investigative reporting.
Did you hear that?
Dan Rather, who never met a big government program he opposed.
Dan Rather, who admires people who grow government and want it to get even bigger, is now all upset because in his deteriorating mind, he thinks that big government has influenced news.
Big government is damaging the independence of people in investigative reporting.
Big government is stopping Dan Rather from asking a tough question, CBS News.
Now, isn't this interesting when when his ox gets gored by big government, why it's horrible?
Why we can't have this.
Why, this is too intrusive, why it's hurting our independence, it's hurting our ability to do the best we can, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But when Dan Rather looks across the country and sees American poverty and doesn't say, hmm, look what big government's done to these people.
He says, well, big government's great, it's trying to help those people.
When big government raises taxes on people, it's great.
Big government auto-intrude.
When big government tells you what you can and can't eat and where you can and can't smoke and what you can and can't smoke, that's great when big government does that.
When big government tells landowners how they can and cannot use their land, that's really wonderful stuff.
When big government gets into full swing and tells the public school system you better teach this or we're going to withhold your money, that's wonderful.
When Democrats are running big government, that's even better.
But when big government affects Dan Rather, and I'm not accepting his premise, uh big governments like anybody else, they try to influence news coverage on their in their own favor.
Uh but these independent journalists are supposed to, they're supposed to be guardians against the excesses of power.
And it is their job to bring down power, especially after they've helped those who get it, acquire it.
Especially if they're Republicans.
I just I just think this is great.
I think this is wonderful.
Because it exposes once again the pure hypocrisy of these people.
And it it just shows you.
The liberals are all for rules and limitations on us that they will exempt themselves from.
Now Dan's out there thinking in his paranoia that big government got him canned, that big government forged his documents, and that big government forced him to forge the documents, that big government probably created Bill Burkett for the purpose of discrediting Dan Rather.
Who knows what he thinks?
By the way, some editorial board member, writer of the Washington Post has a pretty funny piece today, exposing rather in his lawsuit, and he asks a real simple question.
Was Dan Radder's lawsuit forged?
Yes.
And uh I think most people know by now that it was correct.
By the way, I think there's a lot more uh in the president's military record we don't know about.
We have a wartime president, whom I am on others have supported, and we want to support the troops of a wartime president whose own military records are rather mysteriously missing.
We describe in that story what turns out to be the military record of President Bush.
It wasn't it wasn't a a fraud in the facts of the story were true.
He's defending the story.
He's insisting the story wants to prove it.
He is still going after George W. Bush.
He's still nobody has proved that the story was wrong.
No, Dan, the documents that you produced were forged.
That doesn't matter.
Well, whatever it takes to prove the story is what we'll do.
We know nobody's nobody's denied the allegations in the story.
And he's still out there trying to uh trying to defend it.
Uh one of the great things about if this lawsuit ever goes to trial, if the rather lawsuit ever goes to trial, you know what will be incumbent upon CBS?
To prove the story was a fraud.
They will have to prove that the story was totally bogus, which they'll be able to do, uh, which destroys Radder's whole reason for going to court.
This is it's almost sympathetic in a way, but I'm not that big hearted.
Uh back in just a second.
Uh Mahmoud Ahmadini Zad uh was speaking uh via satellite hookup of the National Press Club.
And I've been getting reports of the things he's saying from uh Catherine Jean Lopez at the National Review on uh online.
She writes, what I've learned from the press club speech thus far, Mahmud loves love.
The Iranian people are free, the press is free, anything you bad, uh anything bad you read about Iran are lies.
The freest women in the world are women in Iran.
He hates war.
He has warned Sarkozy in France to play nice and to talk from a level of higher maturity that he has regarding uh Iran.
There's also somebody spotted a sign outside Columbia University where Ma Mahmoud is speaking.
Some uh some idiot student carrying a sign that says Ahmadinizad is bad.
Bush is worse.
Yeah, the open and free exchange of ideas on the American university campus.
Uh also from Kalow at National Review Online.
Uh she says that uh Ahmadinizad in his national press club speech.
It's all about God, love and kindness, too.
Unless you're a Jew or an American or an innocent Iraqi.
She says, I don't think the press club's ever heard so much God talk.
And they're probably soaking it all up in there at the uh at the National Press Club.
Mitch in uh Wichita, Kansas.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Yes, Rush.
Uh Chiracala Apache Diddle's too.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Uh listen to the Columbia University president attempting to rationalize.
Ahmadina Job's visit and talking about freedom of speech.
I haven't heard anyone mention the fact that this freedom of speech pertains to American citizens, the constitution plays to us, not foreigners.
You're exactly right.
You're exactly right.
This guy, he's just equivocating and rationalizing.
And look, I told you last hour.
He thinks he's doing a wonderful thing for America.
He says this is what makes America great.
This kind of fearless uh willingness to expose ourselves to the ideas of uh people that run oppressive regimes.
And the one way to alert everybody about their danger is to let the leaders of oppressive regimes speak, which is why Ahmadinizad is going to probably do a replay of his national press club speech.
He's not going to rip America.
He doesn't have to rip America.
The Democrat Party in his country is doing it for him.
Bin Laden Ditto.
He doesn't have to.
Uh He's going to finish this speech, and everybody says, why is so everybody so afraid of this guy?
Students are going to say, Well, why what is this?
This guy we keep hearing he's a nuclear throne.
All he talked about love.
He talked about God.
He talked about wanting to get along with people, and these liberals at Columbia tonight that'll have their post-speech cocktail parties and they'll be patting themselves on the back about what a great thing they've done for America and resisting the uh the censorship that uh was imposed or was attempted imposed upon them by people who are fearful of what Mahmood Achhmadinizad might say.
Elizabeth and Acton, Massachusetts, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Hi, sir.
How are you?
Megan McCain.
Thank you.
Um I just wanted to address that uh study you spoke of where they said um men are sometimes smarter than women and sometimes stupider.
I think uh, you know, if you study history for several thousand years, women have been using you know pots of boiling water to clean things and to cook.
And it took a little boy in Scotland, Jamie Watt, to look at a pot of boiling water and invent a steam engine.
No offense to women.
I am one.
I have sons, I have daughters, I love them.
But you know something?
Men have invented so many wonderful things, probably their wives complained, and they invented them to talk about the water.
Wasn't it wasn't it a man who invented the Brazier?
Uh yes, probably.
And you know, every time a woman gets in a car and talking about it.
Thomas Crapper invented the toilet.
That's right, because women probably complained that it was cold going out to that outhouse, or peeing in a chamber pot wasn't any fun, excuse me for saying so.
And you know, Elizabeth, I'm reminded of an old phrase.
I forget who uttered this, some philosopher.
And I've always cherished this for some reason.
I've always I've always admired it, and I've always found it uh pretty uh profound in its own way.
And I want to warn you if you're a feminist, you are going to hate this.
But the uh the philosophy is very simple.
A man who thinks he's smarter than his wife knows not how truly smart she is.
See, Dawn's not even a feminist, and she's rolling her eyes in there at that, because she understands what it means.
That's a it's a pretty serious indictment here for Elizabeth to make.
She thinks men are smarter.
Women have been, you know, boiling water on the stove for decades when a man had to invent the steam engine.
It's that's I don't think that has anything to do with intelligence in defense of women.
I I I think they're they're they're different.
Uh I don't know how many women inventors there are.
I don't think it has anything to do with in intelligence.
It it's like you can boil it down to remote control unit.
Worst thing you can do is have it in your hand watching TV with a woman and you just surf around men are just prone to surf around.
Uh I used to have a car once.
When I lived out in California, I had a car that you could put on auto scan, well, auto-scan of your presets.
And just scan the songs or scan the stations that were in your presets.
And uh the general manager's secretary had to go with me somewhere to some some speaking event.
We got in the car, and I turned on the scan, and for like five minutes I didn't stop it because I didn't hear a song that I wanted to hear.
Are you gonna stop that at some point?
No, I haven't gotten to the song I want to hear.
I'm marveling at the technology that my car radio can do this, and she's upset that A, it's happening, and B, that I'm enjoying it.
And she wasn't even my wife.
You know, but that doesn't mean she's dumber than I was.
It just means different interests.
Uh different things intrigue.
Like, I I got my iPhone or my computer.
It's not enough for me to be able to use it.
I want to know how it works, so if something goes wrong, I can fix it.
Or I can describe to the tech what it's doing wrong so he can fix it fast.
Women don't care.
If it better it better come on when you turn it on, and if it doesn't, there'll be hell to pay.
There won't be any curiosity about why it doesn't work.
There'll just be anger.
I mean, women are not, and this is this is not anything to do with intelligence.
He just it just has to do with with uh you know different ways that they uh use their time.
Uh They gave little boys, you know, the feminists tried this experiment, give uh little girls G.I. Joe, uh, and give uh little boys uh uh uh what's her name, Barbie.
And little boys still created war with the two Barbie dolls.
Uh and little girls are out there putting outfits on G.I. Joe.
Pure and simple.
This is different.
I don't know that it indicates uh any difference in uh in intelligence.
It'll it all depends on how you measure this stuff.
And then you gotta get now what is intelligence?
You know, is it what you've learned or is it simple common sense?
And I choose uh I choose the latter.
And that does lead to problems too.
And we're back, as always, Rush Limboa and talent on loan from God.
You know, I tell I'm getting a little tired, ladies and gentlemen of uh the president of Columbia University, Lee Bollinger, and all these other people involved in this, patting themselves on the back, talking about how brave they are, how courageous they are to extend this controversial imitation to Mahmood Ahmadinizad.
Uh, Mr. Bollinger and all of you new castrati at Columbia University and at Harvard and Yale wherever you are found in academe.
Let me tell you the truth.
It doesn't really take much courage to speak in this country.
But you know where it does take a lot of courage to speak, Mr. Bollinger?
Iran.
So maybe after this, you and your rabble rousing presidents from neighboring universities and your rabble rousing students, your brave faculty and students at Columbia, can travel to Iran.
And when you get there, take to the streets and try to exercise your free speech and see how it goes.
Then, if you do that, we will acknowledge how truly brave you are.
Otherwise, this, this uh patting yourselves on the back.
You look stupid and stupid and stupider as you continue to try to justify what you're doing.
By the way, this uh the spirited defensive women that I just gave, uh, when it was a woman who said, Yeah, but men are smarter.
What I did was a spirited defensive women.
Uh I got a story here from the AP's technology writer, Jessica Mintz.
About computer science.
For more than a decade, academics and technology exec.
Uh I'm in the middle of the story.
Yes, I'm going to talk about Hillary, but there's not that much really to say.
I told you at the beginning of the program I'm not that interested in making this whole program devoted to Hillary.
Everybody thinks they can do it better.
Everybody, no matter who they are, no matter how many years thinks they can do this better.
All right.
Here it is.
I'm going to give you the most noteworthy events from all five television interviews that Mrs. Clinton did yesterday.
Why do you and the president have such a hyperpartisan view of politics?
It would require, among uh other things that every American.
What's your response?
Send my best to the president.
That's it.
That was about the most noteworthy.
Nobody challenged her on anything.
Well, Russert did on a rock, but uh the none of the drive by's reported it much.
Well, we'll get to the sound bites, but I just don't want to make her the focal point.
Now here's what I was saying.
For more than a decade, academics and technology executives have been frowning at the widening gender gap in computer science.
Everyone has a theory, but no one's managed to attract many more women to the field of computer science.
Now, some computer science researchers say that one solution may lie in the design of software itself, even programs that regular people use every day.
Oh, I get it, it's the software's fault.
Laura Beckwith, a new computer science PhD from Oregon State University, and her advisor, Margaret Burnett, specialize in studying the way people use computers to solve everyday problems, Like adding formulas to spreadsheets, animation to websites and styles to uh word processing documents.
A couple of years ago, they stumbled upon an intriguing tidbit.
Men, it seemed, were more likely than women to use advanced software features, specifically ones that help users find and fix mistakes.
Programmers call this debugging, and it's a crucial step in building programs that work.
Beckwith decided to investigate why women and men might interact so differently with the same software.
So she poured over 30 years worth of books and academic papers, some shrinks, education researchers, economists, computer scientists, a whole bunch.
And one theory grabbed her attention.
High confidence correlates with success.
Both men and women's confidence and their ability to do a challenging task affects their approach and the outcome.
And most studies indicated that women, even ones who study computer science, have less confidence than men in their computer skills.
So Beckwith wondered, could that be one of the culprits?
Are women less confident than men when it comes to software debugging?
Are women less willing than men to try to use the advanced features?
This is a no-brainer.
Confidence is a key to anything.
I don't software debugging or what?
Confidence, desire, 80% of achievement, all other things being equal.
Uh thirty what how many thirty years of research?
30 months?
A couple years.
Couple years of research to figure that out.
Uh John in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Uh Rush, it's an honor.
I I've been listening to you since I was about twelve years old.
Thank you, sir.
I appreciate that.
How old are you now?
Thirty.
Well, that's eighteen years.
That's almost in the beginning.
Just about, yeah.
My parents brought me on to you, and I uh I've been listening to you ever since.
Um I'll get to my question.
Um I heard that you were going to be on Family Guy last night, and I I watched it, and that sounded exactly like you.
Was that was that really you uh that that was me.
You know, I am sorry for not alerting you all to this last Thursday.
I we taped this back in May for their season premiere, and I mentioned a couple times shortly after that I had uh uh taped a little a little bit for the season premiere family guy, and I got a lot of emails from it's a bunch of liberals.
I can't believe I hope they don't destroy you.
I hope you know what you're doing, the usual routine.
Uh and I f I I forgot that the thing was on last night.
We finally uh uh uh Coco up at the website uh saw a promo on on a Fox television network during the football games yesterday, or I guess it was sometime Friday or Saturday.
He saw a promo, so he he put the blurb up on the website, and we've got a link to it up there now.
The uh the it's it's on YouTube.
It's about uh it's about 33 seconds.
And it's it's uh it's cute.
It was funny.
Well, it was in good taste.
Uh I mean it didn't seem too horrible, but you know they made their little points off of it as well.
Uh well, I didn't see the whole show.
I I in fact, you know, this my I was so distracted yesterday and depressed because I knew I was going back in my diet today.
I'm watching the football games yesterday, and uh a lot of the early games are on Fox, Steelers and the Forderners and the uh team that claimed to be the Philadelphia Eagles wearing those Girl Scout uniforms uh and the uh and the Detroit Lions.
And there were all kinds of promos for it, and I I said I gotta go to TiVo and set this because I know I'm gonna be watching the cowboys and bears.
And I forgot to TiVo it through all so um anyway, but it's on the website now in the the uh.
They have me attacking Lando Kalrissian in this thing.
It's the Family Guy Star Wars issue.
It was a lot of fun to work with these people.
The actual creator was on the phone directing me as to how he wanted this to sound.
Um, and I was uh more than willing to cooperate because it's his show.
Um but uh yeah, it's it's it's at Rushlimbaugh.com right now, long with uh still shot pictures of the uh uh speech Friday in Sacramento.
Oh, speaking of that, I was told definitively on the airplane uh Friday afternoon uh from Sacramento down to Los Angeles that we would be getting video of the speech on Monday, and I saw a couple video cameras there, but I'm now told there isn't any video.
I don't I uh I so I'm a little confused uh because I mentioned at the top of the program there would be video when we got it.
Now I'm told there isn't any.
So maybe those video cameras I saw were um, you know, the uh the local news TV stations out there.
Perry in Winter Park, Florida.
You're next on a Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Hey there, Rush.
Good to talk with you.
Thank you.
Um I tell you what, Mr. Bollinger, I I don't know how he's ever managed to get to the position he is in education, because he obviously doesn't have a very good memory.
Uh I know you recall uh the the leaders of the Minutemen trying to give their opportunity trying to use their opportunity.
Yeah, I mentioned that in the first hour.
They were hooted and howled off the stage.
Where was Mr. Bollinger then, huh?
Defending the people that got rid of the Minutemen.
Exactly.
That's why this whole free speech thing is bogus.
If these guys want to talk about their bravery and courage, go start protesting Mahmud over in Iraq.
Or just go over there and try to practice in the streets free speech, see what happens.
And if they if they get away with it, if they get jail, we'll we'll credit them for being brave then.
That's right.
Let him let them go down and see El Presidente in Havana and see how far that gets them.
Yeah, well, El Presidente in Havana is apparently making a comeback out there, folks.
And El Presidente in Havana says his goal now is to outlive the...
The uh Bush administration.
Let me do a quick time out here.
We'll be back uh and continue right after this.
And y we are gonna get to some Hillary sound bites, and I I I w just a few.
Uh but really got to focus on our health care program.
Can I just a set up question?
Uh have can you, folks, think of any other circumstance similar to health care where the business is going broke.
I mean, for example, in almost every other business sector, an abundance, more customers than you need.
An abundance of customers would mean tremendous profits, would it not?
But not when the business has been socialized and then required to provide free service to illegal aliens and whoever else.
If you want to this is a simple free market concept.
One of the re why does Walmart work?
Lots of customers.
Why do they have lots of customers?
Because a lot of people can afford it and like what they get when they go there.
Same thing with any other successful business.
Now the health care business in this country has more customers because we are out there creating the notion that everybody every day is sick.
We don't talk about health.
We talk about sickness.
And we wail and we whine and we moan about all of these uninsured and net uninsured and these poor sick people here and there.
We are creating in the minds of the American people every day that they are sick and that they're bad sick, and that they are not going to get the health care they need because of George Bush or Republicans or whoever.
So the mindset is everybody's sick.
What happens when they think they're sick?
They go to the doctor, they go to the hospital.
The medical care system, the health care business in this country has more customers than it knows what to do with.
And it's losing money.
Would somebody explain this?
You don't have to explain it to me.
I will explain it to you.
It's called government being in charge of way too much of it, way too much of it have been socialized, and the customers are people who think that they are entitled to go get as much of what this business offers without paying anything for it.
Headline is this.
Bill Clinton boasts that world leaders are pulling for Hillary.
Yeah.
Robert Mugabe, Osama bin Laden, Mahmoud Ahmad Dinizad, Kim Jong Il, Fidel Kestro.
Of course you can find some world leaders pulling for Hillary.
I can tell you who's pulling for Hillary without them ever having had to say so.
David Northern Arkansas, welcome to the EIB network alone.
Oh, it's good to get on your show.
I want to I'm I'm thankful to talk to you because you're the man who, in a way, changed my life.
Just changed my skull full of mush into something good.
I appreciate that.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.
Uh the part I called about was I had a conversation with one of my democratic friends the other night.
I have a surrounded by them up here.
And I I was marveling at what he said.
He said, you know, it'd be really nice if the next president gets a fair chance and a fair break, no matter who they are.
And I had just stopped right there and I wrapped my mind around that.
Rush, I said to him, Well, you know, I I could probably do that, but can you you drop your maniacal twisted uh misguided hatred for George Bush?
And he said, after a moment.
No.
And it just spoke volumes to me.
Uh I just like to know how you feel.
What do you think about it?
what is what uh this is I'm a little fascinated here by the liberal thought press as I always am even though I know it better than they do.
He hopes the next president gets a fair shake did he say no matter who they are?
Yep.
What the hell do you think he meant?
Well I don't know.
I don't you guys I guess I really think that he feels like it'll be a Democratic president.
But you know that's just out there right now.
Yeah but he is he also is this is this loony tune also not admitting in in saying what he said that Bush has not gotten right that the conversation didn't go much further because I started talking about how we treated Clinton during his years.
We didn't bog him down in Kosovo we helped produce a good budget.
There were some things we didn't disagree with especially the Monica Lewinsky junk and all that but we didn't do that to them.
And they started this with us on day one and they're they're not going to change Rush they're they're disconnected between their heart and their mind.
And that's why they can't and that's what you fixed me with years ago.
You reconnected my heart and my mind.
And what you can't think with one and feel with the other and do and and not use them both.
You know that is profound.
I have to tell you that is profound.
You don't e you don't know how profound not what you said about me.
The whole concept you can't separate the heart from the mind.
That's right.
And uh you th separating the heart from the mind um if you do that is going to lead to never ending it internal conflict.
Craziness.
Heart's gonna tell you one thing the mind's gonna tell you another and you don't know which one to go with that's right.
Mostly you'll go with your mind or your heart because you want to feel good about yourself.
There are times that one does need to overwhelm the other a little bit.
Well, no, it's better if they're on the same page.
That's the trick for all of us.
But that's really a pretty descriptive way to explain this to people.
I'm glad you called, David.
Thank you very much.
This is Susan in Madison, Wisconsin.
There's a roll of the dice if we go to Madison, Wisconsin.
Hello, Susan.
Hi.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
I've been trying to call you for years, and this is the first time I've gotten through.
And I just want you to know that you are one of my heroes, George Bush being another one.
But the reason I called today was as I was driving to work a few minutes ago, I heard you talking about Hillary and health care.
And I just, it amazes me when I hear about how there are so many people who supposedly don't get appropriate health care.
And I, who practice emergency medicine and have for 20 years, see all comers, no matter what their complaint is, whether it's a hangnail or whether they have serious trauma or serious illness.
And we never turn anybody away based on their ability to pay or not pay or their health care insurance, whether or not they have it.
And I actually am very proud of that ability to serve all people as a physician.
And when we see in our facilities upwards of 300 people per day, believe me, there are a great percentage of them who, quote, don't have health care insurance.
But actually, the bottom line is they choose not to have health care insurance because they're young, they're healthy.
And you still want to spend their money on health care insurance.
But instead, what I'm expected to do as a physician is not charge them my physician's fee.
fee or down size that fee to a minimum cost.
Right.
And yet if I take my car to have it serviced at the at the service station never once do they ask about my ability to pay for my car care.
