<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jim Kallstrom from the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation<\/a>, a good friend of mine, former head of the New York FBI office. Great to have you on the program, my friend. Thanks for checking in.<\/p>\n

KALLSTROM: Nice being with you, Rush. I have to call you because I want the listening public to know that the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, which you\u2019ve been such a tremendous supporter of over the years, Rush, you\u2019ve been our biggest donor by far. I mean, ladies and gentlemen, this man has given millions and millions of his own dollars to the foundation, plus he\u2019s asked the loyal listeners, and they\u2019ve donated millions and millions of dollars. Rush, every time you talk about the foundation, we get letters with ten dollar bills, with fifty cents, with hundred-dollar bills, you know, from thousands and thousands of your listeners. Now, we\u2019re not a political organization. We come from all different stripes. Most of us were in Vietnam. Some were in Korea. We didn\u2019t particularly enjoy coming back to the United States when we came back. There wasn\u2019t much of a welcoming committee, so we feel it\u2019s absolutely critical to take care of the troops, take care of these heroes that are fighting this war. <\/p>\n

Whatever the politicians think of it, they\u2019re over there supporting the United States, our freedom, our democracy, and to date we\u2019ve given in excess of 2,700 scholarships to these young children who have lost a parent. And, Rush, you\u2019ve financed probably 40% of those. I mean, you\u2019ve done more for the military than anyone I know of, and I\u2019ve been involved in military circles for a long, long time. So to call you anything but the true patriot, the true supporter of the military that you are, is just absolutely wrong. I mean, there\u2019s no one who has done more for these children, these families, these daughters, you know, these wives. <\/p>\n

You\u2019ve helped fund tremendous work with plastic surgery and reconstructive dentistry to help the severely wounded. You\u2019ve helped fund visits so the families can go to Walter Reed, can go to Bethesda, go to Brooke. DOD will pay for one trip for the immediate family, but some of these poor guys are in there for months, and months, and months. You\u2019ve helped fund that. So, Rush, I don\u2019t know of anybody else in this great country who\u2019s done more for our military and for our law enforcement family than you have. So I just wanted your listening public to know that, and they all should give you a round of thanks, which I know they will, for all the work you\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Jim, I appreciate that. I\u2019m almost speechless, which hardly ever happens. But when you say all that, you\u2019re leaving out somebody who was really crucial at MC-LEF, and that was Zack Fisher. He recently passed away. Now, there was a great man, too.<\/p>\n

KALLSTROM: Right. We have tremendous — if listeners want to go to our website, MC-LEF.org<\/a>, they can see who\u2019s on the board. They\u2019re from all walks of life. I think the only thing we share in common is that we\u2019re patriots and we want to do the right thing for the United States. We don\u2019t get involved in politics. We have supporters on both sides of the aisle. But we just can\u2019t stand by and let, you know, our principal supporter, our major supporter — we have many, and you\u2019re the major one — we can\u2019t have such horrible things being said that basically are just a lie. We can\u2019t stand by and not respond to that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I appreciate that, more than I can ever express. It\u2019s been a sheer joy and a pleasure to be able to help and be involved. You guys invited me to be involved. I remember one of the founding meetings at Torykian\u2019s place.<\/p>\n

KALLSTROM: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just was moved by it, and I was flattered to be included. So, look, thanks, thanks very much, I appreciate it. You guys are doing the Lord\u2019s work and everybody appreciates it.<\/p>\n

KALLSTROM: Well, Rush, I just remembered, you heard about us, and your comment was, ‘You guys actually give away every dollar that you get?\u2019 and the answer is, ‘Yes, we don\u2019t have any overhead.\u2019 We eat the overhead. So that was, I think, the first thing that attracted us to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, because that really is rare. That\u2019s unique. Jim, look, all the best to you, my friend. Thanks so much again.<\/p>\n

KALLSTROM: Rush, Semper Fi. Thank God for what you do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jim Kallstrom from the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation<\/a> and the former head of the New York FBI office. <\/p>\n
