CALLER: I\u2019m a spine specialist.<\/p>\nRUSH: This is Larry in Fall River, Massachusetts. Hey, Larry, great to have you. I\u2019m glad you waited, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you, and dittos. I wanted to say that I thank you and I\u2019m glad I got the chance to do this, but I became a doctor thanks to you. I\u2019ve been a doctor a long time now, but it\u2019s thanks to you. And my second point is, I remember —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait. What kind of doctor are you?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019m a spine specialist.<\/p>\n
RUSH: A spine specialist. And how did this program make you want to become a doctor?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I was a schoolteacher, and you talked about following your passion and how you\u2019ve never worked a day in your life because you love what you did. And I was convincing myself that, you know what, I should do that too. And of course I had the grades and the academic ability, and of course I went to school in New York, NYU, so they\u2019re probably gonna lose credit now, but that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I love hearing stories like that. I really do. Because, see, it was in you all the time.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n
RUSH: This passion was in you all the time. You just needed a little kick that told you you could do it.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Absolutely. And the money and everything just appeared. It was a miracle, if you want to use that term. But it just occurred. And I\u2019ve been practicing a lot now, and still passionate about it, I\u2019m getting a little older in my years and long in the tooth, but I have as much passion today than the day I walked into the school and walked into the anatomy lab. So it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, thank you very much. I love hearing stories like that, when anybody is able to get out of a rut, find out what they really love doing, and go do it. That\u2019s fabulous. Thank you very much. Now, I know you had something you wanted to add to that. That\u2019s when I interrupted you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I remember when you got scammed also on a virus back when they had the HTLV-3, now called HIV, on that talk show. You were on a panel show as a guest host, and they tried to do the same thing they\u2019re doing now. It\u2019s the same thing. It\u2019s the same stuff. You were right then. You\u2019re right now. And that\u2019s something that they can\u2019t grasp.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You know what he\u2019s talking about? He goes back to very beginning. He\u2019s talking about when I got set up and scammed guest hosting the Pat Sajak show.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Correct.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what he\u2019s talking about. Yeah, you\u2019re right. You\u2019re right. I took those producers at their word, and honestly, I thought it was gonna be an opportunity to reach out to some people that misunderstood me, and instead it was a gigantic setup. You\u2019re absolutely right about that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And you learned from that and you became — so you\u2019re right now, let me tell you, you are so right now about these viruses, and you\u2019re right then, and you\u2019re right about it. So you know your stuff. You do your research.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I do. Thank you. I do. You\u2019re exactly right.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Phillip in Austin, Texas. It\u2019s great to have you with us today on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Good afternoon, Mr. Limbaugh. Professor Limbaugh, it is a distinct honor to be able to speak with you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much. A distinct honor to have you here with us.<\/p>\n
CALLER: A 28-year student of the Rush Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. It was a proud moment for me to watch you receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I feel like you\u2019re so deserving because you speak truth and life values, and what you\u2019ve taught to millions of people across different generations, and I\u2019m one of those. And what I\u2019ve received of huge value from you is not to live in fear. And it hearkens back to that previous caller that talked about being able to do what he wanted to do, and he lived without fear, being able to move in that. And so when I see the coronavirus reporting, of course I come to you first, but the spattering I listen to out across the other areas I\u2019ve noticed that they are not reporting, or in any significant way, speaking of the recovery rate, which looks to me commensurate with — I\u2019m not a statistics or, you know —<\/p>\n
