One of the things that I found to be such a hallmark for what Rush stood for, what he represented, was not that there was this zero-sum game when it came to success or that there was a limited supply of opportunity. That's Phillip in Austin, Texas.īRETT: You're listening to two people pursuing their dreams and feeling that connection with Rush Limbaugh. And, yeah, it's a rewarding thing to get calls like yours. Some people just have to find what they were born to do is. We are all born to do something, including being lazy. I remember many of the times - not all, I'm sure - but I remember many of the times I've talked about getting a job versus finding a career versus becoming productive versus finding what it is that you are born to do. And they've obviously made an impression on you. You know, I'm always flattered and deeply appreciative when I find out how detailed people's listening is. And I'm thankful that I've been able to experience you for all these years and many years to come. And I think that those are parts of values that you teach out there that are invaluable. And I think at the top level of that had something to do with integrity and respect. And you talked about the different levels and what's required and whether it was a high school or college education. I remember many years ago you spoke to - it was some information you had put out about being able to get a job. May I say one thing?ĬALLER: I feel like not only are you my professor, but you're also a friend and a mentor and somebody that I've looked up to and I dare say a hero, due to the values, the true life values that you've expounded out there. And what I've received of huge value from you is not to live in fear.
It was a proud moment for me to watch you receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.ĬALLER: And I feel like you're so deserving because you speak truth and life values, and what you've taught to millions of people across different generations, and I'm one of those. A distinct honor to have you here with us.ĬALLER: A 28-year student of the Rush Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. Professor Limbaugh, it is a distinct honor to be able to speak with you. It's great to have you with us today on the program, sir. I love hearing stories like that, when anybody is able to get out of a rut, find out what they really love doing, and go do it. I'm getting a little older in my years and long in the tooth, but I have as much passion today than the day I walked into the school and walked into the anatomy lab. And I've been practicing a lot now, and I'm still passionate about it. It was a miracle, if you want to use that term. And the money and everything just appeared. You just needed a little kick that told you you could do it.ĬALLER: Absolutely. RUSH: This passion was in you all the time. Because, see, it was in you all the time. And of course I had the grades and the academic ability, and of course I went to school in New York, NYU, so they're probably gonna lose credit now, but that's okay. And I was convincing myself that, you know what, I should do that too. And how did this program make you want to become a doctor?ĬALLER: I was a schoolteacher, and you talked about following your passion and how you've never worked a day in your life because you love what you did. I've been a doctor a long time now, but it's thanks to you. I wanted to say that I thank you, and I'm glad I got the chance to do this, but I became a doctor thanks to you. This is Larry in Fall River, Massachusetts. Here are a couple of those instances with Rush. And it was never more on display when we would go to the phones and we would hear Rush talk to folks who heard that motivation, felt positively about finding passion even amidst the fear. We were brought to this place at this time for a specific reason, and Rush understood the glory and the power and the passion that was out there in this country. The odds of us being born anywhere in the history of time, anyplace else, are absolutely astronomical. It's always been about connecting you with the passion that Rush carried with him, for you, for this nation, for the opportunities that we have presented to us. But it's always, always, always been about the program.
BRETT: It is wonderful to be here, to think back about all the great times we've had with Rush.
