RUSH: Here\u2019s Mary in Sunset Hills, Missouri. Mary, it\u2019s great you called. Nice to have you with us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, thank you, Rush. I love your brilliant mind.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I love your brilliant mind.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019re welcome. Thank you so much for pointing out the other day — I don\u2019t know why I didn\u2019t think of this — what business do our politicians have criticizing the Iraqi politicians? Who cares what they say? And I have taken that mind-set a step further, and I feel the exact same way about the obesity experts. We\u2019re not going to die. You know? What they\u2019re saying is speculation. I\u2019m sure there are people out there who have health risks, but I really appreciate you pointing out how —<\/p>\n

RUSH: All it means is that the diet industry is the business to get into because every fat person loses and regains weight ten or 12 times in their lives. The diet business is where to go, if you want to believe these experts. But see, it\u2019s more hideous than that. All of this stuff lays the groundwork for a big government to come in and start telling you what you can and can\u2019t feed your kids —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — what restaurants can and can\u2019t serve, what kind of oil they can and can\u2019t use. It\u2019s all hideous, and it\u2019s all disguised as, ‘Oh, my gosh! We care about you and your kids, and they\u2019re going to be little tubs, and we want to help you.\u2019 Look, I think all this stuff is hideous. I don\u2019t think that… The ‘good intentions\u2019 are a smokescreen, let\u2019s put this that way.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. Well, I appreciate you questioning it, because of the good intentions, we want to believe them. You know, of course, we want to believe, ‘Hey, they\u2019re going to protect us. They\u2019re going to take care of us.\u2019 I\u2019m no longer paying attention to what the senators are saying about Iraq, and I\u2019m really starting to question what I hear all these ‘health experts\u2019 say as well.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s great.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So I wanted to thank you for pointing that out, and I don\u2019t know how you sustain the energy that you have every day to do what you do. I really do not know how you do it. How do you stay so enthusiastic?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I love what I do, and I don\u2019t like being in bad moods.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I see. Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So…<\/p>\n

CALLER: I can never tell when you\u2019re in a bad mood, and that\u2019s what I don\u2019t understand. I know you have to have them sometimes but I can\u2019t ever tell.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m in sort of one now. Everybody has them. I don\u2019t know. When I get here and show starts, the microphone goes on, what really takes over is, the audience, I know, has expectations. This is the most listened to show; it\u2019s not an accident why, and the audience has expectations. You know, if I phone it in one day, you\u2019ll know it, and that\u2019s not good. I don\u2019t want that to happen. I abhor bad radio. I abhor boring radio. I just despise it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know. But I make it so easy —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the great make what they do look easy.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know. Yeah. Yeah, and the speed with which you can communicate and articulate your thoughts, I just marvel. You do it so quickly. I mean, it would take me three hours to articulate what you can articulate in 30 seconds. So anyway…<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, remember, this is my career. That\u2019s my job. I\u2019ve been doing it for a whole bunch of years. I didn\u2019t used to be as good at this as I am now. I\u2019d have to go back 40 years when I wasn\u2019t this good, but I was a beginner at one time. No, I\u2019m joshing with you. You\u2019re very kind. I very much appreciate what you said. I really do. That\u2019s very nice.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I did not call to fawn over you, and I\u2019m embarrassed that I\u2019m doing that, but we can\u2019t help it, Rush! (giggles) We can\u2019t help it. You just bring it out of us. So have a good day, thank you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, you do the same. By the way, on this expert business, Mary? Here\u2019s another thing to remember. All these experts the media gets, we\u2019ve been chronicling this. Every month the government releases economic figures, from unemployment to economic growth. Those are quarterly numbers, and every month, the headline or somewhere in the story refers to the experts being shocked, or the experts being surprised, or the experts seeing the unexpected and so forth, and you get to ask yourself at some point, ‘Why do they keep using these idiots? They\u2019re not experts.\u2019 If they can\u2019t see what\u2019s going to happen, then they\u2019ve got a built-in bias. So when you know that the experts that they use for their economic analysis are always surprised, you should logically question every other ‘expert\u2019 they produce, be it in health or military matters, or what have you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
