Let\u2019s go back to last night, Larry King Live, one of his guests was Dr. Ted Schwartz from New York-Presbyterian Hospital\/Weill Cornell Medical Center. They have this exchange.<\/p>\n<p>KING: Dr. Schwartz, how do you use your cell phone?<\/p>\n<p>SCHWARTZ: I put it right up to my ear and don\u2019t use an earpiece unless I\u2019m driving, which I think is the general recommendations. Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>KING: You put it I right up to your ear?<\/p>\n<p>SCHWARTZ: I put it right here but I wouldn\u2019t take a call. I think it is safe to use again based on the currently available data. You know, we don\u2019t know whether watching television has an increased risk of causing cancer, we don\u2019t know whether using a hair dryer increases your risk of cancer. In fact, there are some studies showing there might be a link, but they\u2019re not well-performed studies, so we don\u2019t go around issuing public health warnings about it based on the fact that we don\u2019t really know.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughter) Hair dryers. Don\u2019t you think we\u2019ve got enough evidence about hair dryers maybe causing cancer? They are used every day, multiple times a day by gazillions of people, just as much as-of-as much as cell phones. You would think that we have evidence. This guy admits they don\u2019t know anything. &#8230; This is the latest attempt. Here is me from my TV show, can barely squeeze this in, February 5, 1993.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: You may be wondering what this is. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the latest cancer causing agent to exist in America. This is a cellular phone, and I toyed with the idea of showing my solidarity with the cellular phone manufacturers, \u2019cause this is such bunk. These things haven\u2019t been out ten years yet, and the idea we get cancer just like that from using these things, to me, is just a bunch of hysterical panic. So I\u2019m going to wear this thing the whole show, folks. It\u2019s only, we have dialed a 900 phone sex line, and (applause) I am going to be doing this entire show &#8212; and I\u2019ve got a big, important dinner tonight, but I am going to risk putting a dent in my hair (laughing) with this clodhopper thing that we\u2019ve arranged so that I can have the cellular phone on my face during the entire show. I\u2019ve got phone sex going on right in this ear, and I am &#8212; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/home\/best\/rush_tv_show_cellphone.member.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125114.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"343\" height=\"146\" class=\"alignright\"\/><\/a>AUDIENCE MEMBER: Go for it!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, I\u2019m not going to go for it.

Plus I\u2019m going to demonstrate my solidarity with the cellular phone people \u2019cause I don\u2019t believe this stuff causes cancer. You know, not long ago they said milk causes cancer.
