\"Listen<\/a>\nRUSH: This is Don in Green Bay. Welcome, sir. Nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\nCALLER: Good afternoon, Rush. It\u2019s a pleasure to speak with you.<\/p>\nRUSH: Thank you very much, sir.<\/p>\nCALLER: With all the talk today about guns and whether or not guns can become semiautomatic, automatic weapons, and recently with all the information in the news about the Second Amendment, I was wondering if you were aware of some public service announcements that were recently made by the Milwaukee County sheriff\u2019s department —<\/p>\nRUSH: Yep.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nCALLER: One of them in particular —<\/p>\nRUSH: Yep. He said arm up rather than call 911.<\/p>\nCALLER: Right. Sheriff David Clarke said he\u2019s urging citizens to take a gun safety course. He says calling 911 and waiting due to layoffs and officers on furlough is no longer an option, and you can beg for mercy from a criminal or robber, but the police may not be able to get there soon enough to help you. And I just wanted to say when it comes to listening to an African-American liberal Democratic president or a conservative African-American Milwaukee sheriff department\u2019s representative, I\u2019ll take the sheriff over the president any day of the week.<\/p>\nRUSH: Well, that\u2019s a wise decision. Look at the assumptions that have been made. People say this or that drives them crazy. One of the things that drives me crazy — that\u2019s the wrong way to put it. One of the things that really makes me curious is — and I know the romantic notion people have of government, and I know that that\u2019s been promoted by big government types. But look at the number of people who actually think, they really think that Barack Obama is the guy to design a health care system. That Barack Obama is the guy to set up the rules on abortion and contraceptives. That Barack Obama is the guy who ought to tell football players how they should play the game and tell the league what it should do. <\/p>\nHe\u2019s a man who hasn\u2019t done anything. He has had no real-world experience in health care. In terms of energy, here\u2019s a guy who\u2019s telling everybody that you need to drive this kind of car. We need to get rid of oil and replace it with windmills and solar panels. And he doesn\u2019t have the slightest idea what he\u2019s talking about. He is simply advancing political agendas. And yet the number of people who blindly put faith in the notion that a guy who has never treated a patient, has never been involved in the invention, the R&D, the marketing, the bringing to market, creation of a drug, who has never run a hospital, who has never run an emergency room, never been anywhere near running a business, is somehow the nation\u2019s foremost authority on all these things. That\u2019s what boggles my mind. <\/p>\n<\/p>\nNow, I\u2019m saying the same thing you are, in a more generalized way. This country had the premiere medical and health service industry in the world. It was incomparable. It was by far and away the best. And a guy goes and gets elected president in 2008 and all of a sudden he, and he alone, and before him Hillary Clinton, who\u2019s also never been in the hospital other than as a patient, who\u2019s never run a business, who has never been inside an oil company, a drug company, a retail company, never, these people have all the answers. These people know better than all of the experts in all of these fields. In fact, it\u2019s not just that. It\u2019s not that they know better, it\u2019s that they are as clean and pure as the wind-driven snow and all of the experts in all of these businesses are crooks. <\/p>\nAnd this is what the left asks us to believe, that everybody in Big Oil is a crook, that everybody in Big Retail is a crook, that everybody in Big Drug is a crook, and what they\u2019re trying to do is rip off customers and steal profits and steal money and whatever they\u2019re trying to do, kill their customers. They\u2019re not trying to provide the right services, and all these other liberals, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, they are clean and pure as the wind-driven snow. They wouldn\u2019t cheat anybody. They are gonna protect everybody from the evil practitioners and experts in all these businesses and all these industries. <\/p>\nIt continues to blow me away that people will put all their faith in somebody who doesn\u2019t have the slightest idea how any business, industry, or service works. They\u2019ll put total trust in that person to run it, put it together, organize it, execute it. It\u2019s mind-boggling, and it\u2019s the result of 50 years of class envy, criticizing the private sector and everybody in it. This is where we end up.<\/p>\nBREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\nRUSH: Our last caller had time constraints, and I didn\u2019t get a chance to expound on the actual news story that he was reacting to, but it is true. A Milwaukee sheriff, David Clarke Jr., who\u2019s African-American, released a radio ad urging Milwaukee area residents to learn how to handle firearms so that they can defend themselves while waiting for police. He said Friday that law enforcement cutbacks would change the way police can respond to crime. So he put together a 30-second PSA saying personal safety is “no longer a spectator sport.” <\/p>\n
