RUSH: Here is John in Rochester, New York. Great that you called. Glad you waited, sir. Hello.
CALLER: Hello, Rush. Its an honor and a pleasure to speak with you. Im gonna get right to the point. It seems to me that youre about to end the last show of your 30th year and nothing has been said about it yet. So I want to be the one who congratulates you and thanks you on behalf legions of Dittoheads and our Rush Babies like my children. You have meant so much to me. Ive listened to you since you started, and Im nervous and choking up here. But thank you. Thank you, sir.
RUSH: Im kind of not choking up here, but scratching my eyes a little bit. I appreciate that. I hear from people throughout the year who say nice things like you have. It never ceases to hit me, affect me very deeply, you know. Thirty years, some of it seems like I can just imagine some of those days 30 years yesterday. Some of those days 25 years ago are yesterday. Others it does seem like 30 years. On balance it doesnt, though. On balance it doesnt seem like anywhere near 30 years. I think its because my attitude hasnt changed in 30 years.
CALLER: Thats absolutely right. Even when I
There have been times I havent been able to listen to you because of work schedules. When the opportunity came back to listen to you again, I always found you, as I used to say, right where I left you. You are that consistent. RUSH: Well, you are very perceptive. I think you typify, you exemplify the exact way I imagine everybody in this audience. I think everybody listening here is involved and intelligent and aware, and thinks and shares a similar value system or value base. Thats why its so meaningful. This is why I understand the bond that Trumps supporters have with him, is because I have it, too, with all of you who listen to this program and nobodys been able to break the bond.
I remember first listening ro Rush. It was mid-January of 1991. Was working in Hartford, CT. Not too many weeks to Persian Gulf War 1. Had a cousin who now drives truck for a living in the army. WTIC AM just brought Rush on. Yep, the same WTIC AM,home at the time of late Bob Steele.
Enjoy your special day Rush.
Hannity just finished a rather long segment singing Rush Limbaughs praises. I think he did an excellent job. He said they will do it again on the TV program tonight.
I was a sophomore in college when I discovered Rush. I knew that the crap being said to me in school didnt make much sense, but I also didnt know how to read but their assertions and allegations. Then along came limbo I knew that the crap being said to me in school didnt make much sense, but I also didnt know how to read but their assertions and allegations. Then along came Rush, I was quickly hooked, and Ive been in the trenches for the Limited Government cause ever since.
