-->'''Bill:''' Our friend UsefulNotes/JimmyCarter, who is a hero to me, I think the only American president who never fired a shot. I the summer when he got sick he had a press conference & they asked him what he would like to happen before his time on Earth was over & he said "I want the last guinea worm to die before I do." Three and a half million people in Africa used to die from the guinea worm, I'm not sure what that worm does but it's not good. Water filters that Jimmy Carter & his people put in there reduced that to 126 people. I just think this is a better way to handle it than bombing people.

** And on the other side of the coin, he admits that he understands why conservatives like Reagan so much, as he was their Kennedy. While he thinks JFK and his era was a lot cooler than Reagan's, it's still a really nice thing to say.

* October 4, 2013: In the New Rule "Slob Rule", Bill criticizes what he calls America's "Slob Culture", where Americans have become too casual or indifferent about their personal appearance and and how it's affecting our self-esteem. He then cites the "Broken Window theory" by discussing how New York City gradually stopped being TheBigRottenApple because of numerous improvements to itself in TheNineties. He tells the audience [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre "Don't be a broken window."]]
