\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Gary in Roseville, California. Welcome. It\u2019s just right up the road from Sacramento. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good morning, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, I recall a couple of occasions earlier in the year when you had pointed out that actors that studied for a role in a movie for weeks or months and then end up appearing in front of congressional committees preaching about [it] as if they\u2019re experts on the subject, and I just wanted to put out two cautions if I could to you in that regard. One is that I\u2019m afraid I may be on the verge of doing that with this Ebola thing<\/a> since there aren\u2019t really any experts out there yet, I don\u2019t think, in the lay world that are qualified to kind of give the opinions that you\u2019ve been giving, and I\u2019m kind of afraid —<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is very helpful. What —<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m kind of afraid — and I can give an example — that your coverage of the Ebola thing<\/a> may be going from being informational in a good way, to be kind of fearmongering in a bad way.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Can you give me an example of how I am acting as an expert in this? This is very helpful. ‘Cause if I am engaging in this behavior, I would like to know. I do not believe I\u2019m an expert on Ebola. I\u2019ve never had it. I don\u2019t know anybody who\u2019s got it. I\u2019m relying on what\u2019s in the news media and what the experts at the CDC are saying. What have I said to fearmonger it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, as far as the fearmongering goes, that\u2019s the easiest example, and that would be the young lady that called — the young mother of three kids that called — last week. She sounded on the verge of terrified about Ebola, and I got the impression it was because of what she\u2019d been hearing from not just you, but including you, about the subject. As far as you seeming to be discussing the subject as if you are more of an expert than any of us really can claim to be.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, give me an example of that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019ve heard you criticizing when the medicine was to go overseas. I\u2019ve heard you criticizing bringing back patients from overseas. I\u2019ve heard you saying that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute. That\u2019s not acting as an expert on the disease. You\u2019re claiming I\u2019m spreading false information about the disease, that I don\u2019t know it. That was a comment on whether or not it was wise to bring back this patient. But that has nothing to do with experts.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t know that any of us laypeople are qualified to make those judgments, and I heard the other day you said that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, this is the problem, Gary. A lot of us had better start speaking up about things or we\u2019re gonna get snowballed and we\u2019re gonna end up losing our freedom, Gary. I don\u2019t know where this, “Well, we must leave it to the experts; we are not qualified to make these comments” comes from. We most certainly the hell are when it comes to using intelligence guided by experience! <\/p>\n

<\/a>So far you can\u2019t give me one example where I have stated something medically about Ebola that isn\u2019t true or that I have acted as an expert in the spread of the disease, acquiring the disease, eradicating it. I haven\u2019t talked about that. I have simply weighed in on what I think may be some haphazard behavior by officials in the way we\u2019re dealing with it. I don\u2019t like this idea that laypeople are unqualified. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been hearing this my whole career. It started, you know, when I was a big proponent of a very healthy and well-funded defense department. People like you would call, “Well, did you ever serve in the military?” “No.” “Well, then you\u2019re not qualified! You have no right, you have no business talking about the defense budget.” Really? Where does that come from? <\/p>\n

Where is it written that citizens have to be mute idiots in this country in order to be reasonable and understanding and so forth? Gary, I really think we have a big problem in this country and that is too many people are afraid to say what they really think because of all the hell that descends on \u2019em when they do. I think there are a lot of people in this country who are scared to death about a lot of things going on who are afraid to say so because they see what happens to others who speak up. <\/p>\n

Then that leads to beliefs like yours, that it\u2019s more reasonable and simple to leave it to the experts. “Experts” defined how? Is Obama an expert in the Constitution \u2019cause he taught it, ostensibly, in Chicago? In my view, he\u2019s not an expert. He\u2019s an expert on why he doesn\u2019t like it and would like to transform it, make end runs around it, or get rid of it. But it doesn\u2019t mean I should shut up because I wasn\u2019t there when it was written. That\u2019s absurd!<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tell me, who are the smart people? Politicians? Elected politicians? Elected Democrats? Are they the only experts around qualified to speak? Are they the ones we must stop everything we\u2019re doing and listen to? We are too stupid to have reasonable, intelligent opinions ourselves? We\u2019re too stupid to function on our own? Too many people are not speaking out. Too many people are not saying what they really think. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you what, folks. There\u2019s another problem that we have in this country, and that is there\u2019s way too much dependence on experts presented to us in the media. I\u2019ll give you the greatest example of experts who never get it right. Economists! Every month when the unemployment number comes out, I don\u2019t care what the number is, experts are surprised. <\/p>\n

The experts always say the news is unexpected, no matter what the news is. I don\u2019t think they even write these pieces anymore. They\u2019re a template and they just copy and paste it and they fill it in the first two paragraphs. “Expert economists said the results this month were unexpected, as experts were expecting” blah, blah, blah, and everybody depends on this. Experts on global warming, experts on economics.<\/line><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have any experts on anything in this Regime. Obama\u2019s not an expert on anything. He\u2019s not qualified! Well, that\u2019s not altogether true. For what he wants to do, he is qualified. He\u2019s an agitator, he\u2019s a community organizer, he doesn\u2019t like the status quo and he wants to upend the country. He is qualified to do that. He\u2019s not qualified as we traditionally examine people who want to everybody is as president.<\/p>\n

We look at their qualifications. He hasn\u2019t done anything. He has no track record, no resume. The only resume he\u2019s got, college transcripts, nobody lets us see. So we don\u2019t really know. We have to take the media\u2019s word for it, and so we get people who are other experts, like New York Times columnist David Brooks telling us he\u2019s qualified because the crease in his slacks. Everybody buys hook, line, and sinker what these experts say.<\/p>\n

If they\u2019re presented in the media, if they\u2019re members of the administration, if they\u2019re members of the political class — if the media says somebody\u2019s an expert, if they\u2019re a scientist, if they wear a white lab coat — they are experts, and their credibility is never questioned. We always assume that everybody\u2019s smarter than we are. That\u2019s another thing that is a real bugaboo of mine, and I\u2019m gonna have trouble expressing this. <\/p>\n

It may take me two or three times. Steve Jobs had this as a philosophy, too. I don\u2019t remember exactly how he said it, but I do know that when I read the quote, it resonated with me. It\u2019s understandable how it happens. It starts when we\u2019re very young and we\u2019re surrounded by people older than we are, and so it is natural to assume they know more than we do. Now, a lot of people never grow out of that attitude. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re always assuming somebody else is smarter. If they have more money, they\u2019re smarter. If they have a bigger house, they\u2019re smarter. It\u2019s amazing how people willingly subordinate themselves in order to conform. I admit that it takes guts, gumption, or whatever to really believe in yourself. It takes a lot of effort to do that. Most people don\u2019t. It\u2019s Standard Human Nature 101. <\/p>\n

But everybody, a lot of people fall prey to this notion that everybody is smarter than they are. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s in the business they want to go into or if it is in politics or if it\u2019s in science, global warming or whatever. All we\u2019re dealing with here is people in politics at every level of it. We\u2019re not dealing with experts except in politics. Science has been politicized. Everything\u2019s been politicized now. <\/p>\n

The NFL\u2019s on its way to being politicized, for example. But the idea that people will so readily accept the testimony of a Hollywood actor as an expert because they played — they pretended to be — somebody in a movie? People have been asking me, and I haven\u2019t addressed this, “Hey, Rush, did you see the knock-down, drag-out between Ben Affleck in Bill Maher on Friday night<\/a>?” <\/p>\n

“No. I\u2019ve seen tape of it now, but I wasn\u2019t watching.<\/line><\/p>\n

“What do you think, Rush? What do you think? I mean, who was right?”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a classic illustration. Just because it was on TV, somebody in that had to be right. Why do both of them have to be right or wong? Why can\u2019t both of them be totally wrong? Why does one of them have to be right? Affleck clearly doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about, I don\u2019t think ever. But he looks good, and people wish — women wish — they were married to him. So that\u2019s covered. <\/p>\n

Maher? Agitator, but in this case — if you want to know the truth — Bill Maher was closer to being right than Ben Affleck was. Ben Affleck literally is consumed with other needs or desires when expressing his opinion. He\u2019s the kind of guy who tells you what he thinks because he\u2019s really concerned what you think of him afterwards. A lot of people are that way. A lot of people will tell you what they think not because it\u2019s really what they think. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s \u2019cause they think it\u2019s what you want hear, or what they want to hear, or whatever it is that\u2019ll make you seem what you think they demand. Either you\u2019re nice or not be troublemaker or smart or agreeing with them or what have you. I just think a lot of assumptions exist and are made and are understandable and it\u2019s unfortunate, and you can trace it. It all descends here from this notion that there are experts. <\/p>\n

The media routinely gives us experts, and I would contend to you that they\u2019re always wrong, by virtue of the reporting. The economic experts are always surprised at whatever the monthly unemployment number is or the economic growth. They\u2019re always surprised. Well, an expert wouldn\u2019t be surprised! An expert would be confirmed. But every month AP, Reuters, whoever — and they never name \u2019em. <\/p>\n

“A wide swath of experts expressed shock and surprise over the unemployment numbers today.” I just don\u2019t think there is enough — and I\u2019m not talking about insubordination. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s enough questioning of whatever is said by people who are thought to be experts or smarter. I\u2019m safe, I think, in saying that most people — not all, of course. Most people think everybody\u2019s smarter than they are. <\/p>\n

Therefore, they must conform or subordinate themselves to whoever they think is smarter than they are. It\u2019s not necessarily the case. It\u2019s not a conspiracy of anything. There\u2019s nobody making this happen. This is human nature, and I just wish there were a way to spiral out of it. It all gets traced back to how much confidence in yourself you have. It all traces back how much you care, how much passion you have about something or anything. <\/line><\/p>\n

But we\u2019re being done in by experts, and we\u2019re being done in by this notion that we have no right to challenge what the experts say, like this guy that called me. “We laypeople, we need to dial it back. We laypeople…” It\u2019s a classic example of what I\u2019m talking about. This guy was perfectly willing to assume that everybody knows more than he does, and what that leads to additionally is a feeling of illegitimacy about your own opinion, and illegitimacy about your own existence. <\/p>\n

And then if that\u2019s the case, then you\u2019re always going to end up being subservient or subordinate to somebody. You\u2019re always gonna end up granting somebody authority over you. Now, in your job, you have to; everybody has a boss. If you\u2019re a lawyer, there\u2019s the judge and so forth. But I\u2019m talking about just in everyday life and the way people see themselves. <\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s directly relatable to how much subservience there is in our country and how much dependence there is on the government or other institutions for your wants and needs. I think a lot of people are selling themselves short; not meeting, realizing their full potential. In many cases, it\u2019s because they think they\u2019re exercising humility. You know, humility is taught, and it\u2019s a good thing to be humble. <\/p>\n

Humility is a very good, but it can also be deadly. Not deadly. It can be punitive. False humility, the unnecessarily putting yourself down in order to be seen as polite or whatever. That can hold you back. None of this is to say that people have to be mean or confrontational or whatever. That\u2019s not what believing in yourself is. It\u2019s a tough subject. As I told you, it may take me a couple of attempts here. (interruption) <\/p>\n

Well, you know what I\u2019ve found in my limited — \u2019cause I haven\u2019t really spent a whole lot of time researching this. But as we all know, there are a few people out there who don\u2019t like me. Not many, but there are a few. Now, I\u2019m not one of these people obsessed with that. If I\u2019m in a room and say, 95, people like me, I don\u2019t care about the other five. Somebody like Bill Clinton will focus on the other five, or Obama, in order to switch \u2019em and make \u2019em friends or fans. <\/p>\n

What I\u2019ve found, if I\u2019ve really dug deep, you know what they resent? Is that I\u2019m so sure of myself. That intimidates \u2019em. Nobody\u2019s that sure of themselves. And it leads them to think that I have a confrontational or pugnacious manner or behavioral pattern, and I\u2019m nothing of the sort. Confidence can be assumed to be arrogance or conceit, \u2019cause nobody is supposed to be that sure of themselves. I can\u2019t tell you number of people, “How do you know? How are you so sure?” And I say, “‘Cause to me it\u2019s obvious.” <\/line><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t see the benefit in running around saying before everything I say, “Now, I could be wrong about this.” Sometimes I do that, depending on who I\u2019m speaking to \u2019cause that\u2019ll open them up. It\u2019s a science. But the routine of putting yourself down to other people in order to not threaten \u2019em or to whatever, I just don\u2019t think, in the long run, serves anybody, particularly the individual who\u2019s engaged in that kind of behavior. <\/p>\n

And, as such, it leads us to where we are now. We had a guy call, “Don\u2019t speak. You have no business. We need to defer to the experts. We laypeople.” We don\u2019t have enough people speaking up. I think the degree of anger, fright, outrage over what\u2019s happening to this country is palpable. I think it\u2019s almost incalculable. People are afraid. Even in the privacy of a ballot box people won\u2019t vote what they really think for fear somebody\u2019s gonna find out. People lie to pollsters for fear somebody\u2019s gonna find out. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s a fear of being found out if your opinions don\u2019t meet political correctness or whatever the order of the day is. It\u2019s less confrontational that way. It doesn\u2019t offend people and doesn\u2019t hurt people\u2019s feelings and all that. And I\u2019ve always thought that\u2019s their problem. <\/p>\n

Anyway, I gotta take a break here, folks. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, folks, let me say it another way. I just happen to think that more people are much smarter than they think they are. It really isn\u2019t any more complicated than that. And for whatever reasons they tell themselves they\u2019re not. For whatever reasons they defer to others who they think are smarter, because of a whole bunch of different variables and reasons. And I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything wrong with believing in yourself. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything wrong with believing in your ideas. There\u2019s more than one way to do things. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
