KEN: Today\u2019s EIB High Note. It\u2019s about an ordinary American doing an extraordinary thing. When I saw this story I was so energized because it seems like everybody has a great bus driver story. They come in all shapes and sizes. Bus drivers. And Rhode Island bus driver Eldorada or “Ellie” Giblin was driving a route last month when she spotted a man on a bridge who appeared to be preparing a jump. She stopped her bus immediately. She got out.<\/p>\n

\"\"Giblin said immediately people just had their phones out and were taking pictures and video. She said, that broke my heart. I told passengers not to worry and that I would be right back. Ellie approached the man, who yelled, “No one cares. They just don\u2019t care.” She told him she cared and, as proof, she invited him to join her on her next break from work. The man pulled away from the railing, she made him pinkie swear that he would not harm himself. When she returned to her bus, the passengers broke into applause. Ellie is not only one of those individuals Rush spoke of who make the country work, she is also one of those individuals who make it better. And things like this happen every single day in this country. Here\u2019s Rush.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: What is American exceptionalism? It\u2019s not that we\u2019re better people. It\u2019s not that we\u2019re smarter. It\u2019s not that we have the advantage because of our geography, because we clearly don\u2019t. So what is it that sets us apart? There\u2019s one answer, and it\u2019s found in the Declaration of Independence: ‘We are all endowed by our Creator.\u2019 So we acknowledge God as a country. When we were founded, we acknowledged God: We were all created. We are all endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights. Undeniable. They\u2019re just there. And they come from the Creator. Among them, but not just, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.<\/p>\n
