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

RUSH: I want to start in Floyd, Iowa, on the phones today. This is Jennifer. Thank you so much for calling. Great to have you. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, it\u2019s so good to talk to you. I just called, and I hope I can make it through without crying, but your book has just really touched our hearts. How you talk about when they\u2019re on the Mayflower and when the man fell overboard and they were pulling him up by the rope, and I think Rush Revere said, “Well, you\u2019re sure lucky to be alive.” And I think it was William who said that it was a miracle, and I\u2019m just so touched that you\u2019re bringing God so much into this history and reminding people that God has a divine plan and that nothing happens by accident, and I just started crying this morning.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jennifer, I want to thank you for noticing that. Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims is unashamedly pro-truth. William Bradford and the Pilgrims were purists. They were Victorians in a sense, they were early Victorians, but they were God-fearing people, and they came here to be able to worship God their way. They had to escape the Church of England. They had to escape the king. They were not being allowed to worship the way they wanted. That\u2019s why they came here. <\/line><\/p>\n

She\u2019s describing a scene where somebody on the Mayflower goes overboard and they do manage to save his life, and people said, “Well, that was lucky.” And then William Bradford said, “No, no, no, no, that was God.” And they took that as a sign that their voyage was blessed, that they would make it. They didn\u2019t even know that they would make it when they set out. People today can\u2019t relate. Even though it\u2019d been done, I mean, the ocean by then had been crossed many times, but still, you put a hundred-and-some-odd people on board, a tiny boat, really.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And it\u2019s a crapshoot, no matter how many times prior to that it had been done. And I really appreciate you noticing that, because we were unafraid in making sure that people, readers, understood how much God was part of this journey and how much God was part of the Pilgrims. So I\u2019m flattered that you noticed that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I just wanted to tell you, too, my little girl, she\u2019s enjoying Liberty so much. She just laughs when he comes in the story. She just laughs. So thank you for writing a book that is entertaining but tells the truth and that you\u2019re not afraid to tell the truth. So thank you so much.<\/line><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/map>\n<\/line>\n

RUSH: Never have been. I\u2019ve got the scars to show it. But they\u2019re all worth it. Well, Jennifer, I appreciate it. Thank you. You know, I tell you what, hold on. I\u2019d like to send you — how old is your daughter, by the way?<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: She\u2019s five years old.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Five. So she can\u2019t read it, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, she can\u2019t. I read it to her.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know what, I\u2019m gonna enclose an audio copy of the book, too. It\u2019s four CDs. It takes about four and a half hours, and I read the whole thing.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s so sweet of you. I love it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, I know. Isn\u2019t that wonderful? Let me put you on hold. Mr. Snerdley will get your FedEx address and we\u2019ll get it out. You\u2019ll have it this week.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, thank you so much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. Folks, if I may say, this character, Liberty, the talking horse, the time-traveling talking horse is a smart aleck, a lovable, funny, humorous, breaks-the-tension kind of smart aleck. And kids are loving this horse. This horse is getting e-mail out the wazoo, fan mail at our TwoIfByTea.com website<\/a>. So we\u2019ve got special plans for the horse. Rush Revere is getting a little jealous that Liberty is getting, I mean, far more fan mail than Revere is getting. You know, Revere thinks he\u2019s the star of the book, and it\u2019s turned out that the horse is rivaling Revere. Revere told me this. He\u2019s an honest guy. He didn\u2019t hold anything back. So that\u2019s Jennifer in Floyd, Iowa.<\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: We go to Wheaton, Illinois, next. This is Linda, and I\u2019m glad you called. Great to have you here. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good afternoon, Rush. And thank you for 22 years of excellent education and why I\u2019m a conservative. I called today to give a name to the young man who was swept overboard on the Mayflower. You had a previous caller that got quite choked up about it. And that young man happens to be my tenth great-grandfather. And his name was John Howland.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You are kidding me?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. I\u2019m not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Your tenth great-grandfather?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Correct.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Unbelievable.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yep. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you realize how I\u2019m feeling here? Somebody in my audience, of all the people in the country, somebody in my audience is related to the guy who fell overboard on the Mayflower.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, and there\u2019s even a picture. There is an artist\u2019s rendering of that happening. If you Google John Howland,<\/a> you can take a hit on this particular picture that an artist painted of him being pulled back on board. You know, I started researching my family tree when I was laid off five years ago and got a free 30 days on Ancestry.com and made that hit on my father\u2019s side of the family through my paternal grandmother. So it\u2019s made Thanksgiving mean something completely different to me from that point on.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can imagine. I\u2019m sitting here practically near speechless.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) I have made you speechless!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, \u2019cause this is so cool. I mean, really, of all the people, there are 300 million people in the country, and the one who is related to somebody recently written about in my book calls me. That is so cool. Linda, thank you. I\u2019ve gotta sign a book for you, too. So please hold on so Mr. Snerdley can get an address where I can send one. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
