RUSH: Winston-Salem, North Carolina, this is Lennie. Hello, sir, and I thank you for waiting. Hi.
CALLER: Oh, man. Thank you so much for taking my call. Super mega dittos, Maha Rushie.
RUSH: Thank you, sir, thank you. I love your energy, my man.
CALLER: Oh, thank you, thank you. I am so excited because, you know, I've been listening to you for 22 years. You are a man of your word. You are worth your salt. I thank God for you each and every day. Like I was telling Bo Snerdley, you know, being African-American, I've been a 22 year in-the-closet Rush listener, but I'm out of the closet, I can't take it no more. I was telling Bo Snerdley that, you know, it's like deja vu. I'm listening to the wrong ferries being sent to evacuate our people from Tripoli and I'm like, is this Iran 1979? Is Jimmy Carter back in office? It's like the Twilight Zone.
RUSH: It is. It's Carter's second term. It's a pretty good analogy you've got out there.
RUSH: It is. It's Carter's second term. It's a pretty good analogy you've got out there.
CALLER: It's crazy, and it was because of Carter that made me join the Navy, and I was over in Lebanon, I was over in that region in 1982 and '83 when we lost my friends, you know, the Marines and stuff like that. And to CALLER: It's crazy, and it was because of Carter that made me join the Navy, and I was over in Lebanon, I was over in that region in 1982 and '83 when we lost my friends, you know, the Marines and stuff like that. And to have someone that's so passive in office who doesn't have -- he's not worth his salt.
He won't stand up and say anything to his buddies in the Middle East. And that's what they are. They're his friends. It's some kind of connection, you know, and I'm not trying to be conspiratorial, but that's what's going on.
RUSH: It's not conspiratorial at all.
CALLER: Right.
RUSH: You're just being I think very astute in your observation.
CALLER: You know, I get to thank God and I get to thank you for that because like I said, Rush, I've been listening to you for 22 years and, you know, I don't come out the box and tell people, "Well, this is what Rush says." I take your knowledge that you've put out there for all of us listeners and I just present it in the way that it was made.
RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen -- if I may interrupt here for just a second, Lennie -- for those of you new to the program today, this caller is showing the proper reverence. Okay, Lennie, continue.
CALLER: Yeah. And so, you know, as I said, then I started listening to you, I'll never forget the first time I started listening to you, it was 1988, I was working as a security guard back at a company that's defunct now, telecommunication company in Crystal City and I was listening to you on WMAL. Then I moved to Colorado Springs. Then I moved to North Carolina. And I'm just an avid listener. I absorb everything you say. You know, I'm not a mind-numbed robot.
RUSH: No.
CALLER: But I check what you say. I bought products that you have suggested and they work, as you have stated. And I'm like, if people would take the time to settle down and listen to what the Maha Rushie has to say.
RUSH: Amen.
CALLER: Talent on loan from God. You know, I want to congratulate you on your marriage to Kathryn. I love the golf show. I can't get enough. I'm like probably a lot of listeners who wish you were still on TV 'cause I used to watch you as many times as I could back then. You crack me up. And I still see Clinton leaving that funeral for Ron Brown and laughing one minute and crying the next.
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: How can you dispute this? He's showing it to you. He's letting you hear what the people have to say, out of their own mouth. You're not propaganda. You are bringing what they are saying and what they're doing. And, you know, I'm down here in Winston-Salem, I'm here working at the place where a coach has given his kidney to a player, where another person received a medal --
