\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s grab Honey in Glendale, Arizona. Hi. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. Dittos from a retired Navy nurse.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you very much. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: This is such an honor. I just wanted to comment, earlier you said that Dr. Carson, something about him quitting his practice and going to reach out to the low-information voters, or low-information people. I think he\u2019s been listening to you because that\u2019s exactly what you think that we need to do. Get a hold of them, educate them, and then they will come up to understand what\u2019s really going on.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s very nice of you to say about me. I frankly think Dr. Carson is probably too busy to listen to me or anybody else in the media. After all, he\u2019s a neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins. But nevertheless, he\u2019s not specifically saying he\u2019s going to, but he\u2019s not ruling out speculation he could run for office.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s the first thing I thought of, he needs to run for president. I was so moved by his speech. I had my husband, my ninth grade daughter, my seventh grade son, sit down and listen to that speech because I was so moved by it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What was it that moved you? No wrong answer. Just curious. What was it that moved you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It was that he was standing up and speaking the truth and not afraid to do it when Obama was sitting right there, and this is really getting down to the heart of how our country needs to change. And we start by education. And I think that was his biggest thing. And I think we can start like right now, like my kids go to a school that is a charter school. Most of their teachers graduated from Hillsdale College. They teach by the Socratic method, they teach critical thinking, and there is no pop culture allowed in the school, and they just teach from the soul of America. And I agree with you. I\u2019m optimistic about the future because my kids are learning what they need to learn to be just like Dr. Carson.<\/p>\n

RUSH: A lot of people are.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m all for it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think a lot more people are being educated the way you describe than is known. Dr. Carson, with Obama sitting there, said, “Someone has to be courageous enough to stand up to the bullies.” And by bullies he of course meant Obama and everybody else in the Democrat Party who are systematically destroying and tearing this country apart. But it was so rational, it was so simple. That\u2019s why it was so powerful. It wasn\u2019t complicated with hand-wringing and reaching out and marketing and stuff.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Dr. Benjamin Carson was on with Neil Cavuto yesterday night on the Fox News Channel. Cavuto said, “Many of your critics on the liberal side said you were trying to showboat for an occasion. There were a number of Democratic legislators who said as much. But you argue not so.”<\/p>\n

CARSON: No. What we need to do is we need to be able to discuss intelligent ways of solving the multitudinous problems that threaten to destroy our nation. And there are a group of people who would like to silence everybody and have everybody go along to get along, but that\u2019s not going to be very helpful for us in the long run in terms of solving our problems. And somebody has to be courageous enough to actually stand up to the bullies.<\/p>\n
