RUSH: Nashville, Tennessee, Peter. Thank you for waiting, sir. It\u2019s nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, it\u2019s so great to talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: I\u2019ll get right to it. I want to tell you about the impact you\u2019re having on our son, and you continue to have, who is a junior in high school and is applying to West Point next year. And two years ago we gave him a subscription to 24\/7 for Christmas<\/a>. And you equipped him in facing down his liberal teachers. And I want you to hear what he said to one of his most outrageously liberal teachers who found out he was going to apply to West Point and asked him — this is what he actually asked our son — he said, ‘Why would you want to become a mindless killing machine when your parents run a Christian missionary organization?\u2019 We put artificial limbs on amputees in developing countries and he knows this — and, by the way, we could use the help of your listeners but out of respect I won\u2019t mention our website unless invited to. But our son looked at this guy in the eye and said, ‘Sir, there are people out there who want to kill us and I feel like I\u2019m called to keep that from happening,\u2019 and I\u2019d like to add that it only took them about two seconds to identify the mission, not three months, and he\u2019s only 17. You can imagine how much pride I feel in him for making such a statement and how outraged I was his teacher would even ask him that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What class? What class did this happen?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Latin.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Latin!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Latin. He\u2019s an honors Latin student. He\u2019s also a nationally recognized inventor. He\u2019s done some amazing things, but he wants to go to West Point. He\u2019s wanted to for four years and he had one teacher, by the way, that went around the room and the night before the president spoke to Congress — had used Congress as the backdrop for his health care speech, the teacher went around the room — and asked all the students to identify their most charismatic speaker, favorite speakers and so forth, and she kind of went on and on about praising Obama\u2019s speech-making ability, and our son proudly stood up and said (chuckling), ‘Rush Limbaugh\u2019s address to CPAC was the best speech I\u2019ve ever heard.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Oh!<\/p>\n

CALLER: And most of the kids there didn\u2019t even know what CPAC was, but he knew, and he is well informed, and he often says that he gets into a battle of wits with folks and finds that they\u2019re unarmed. Because he listens and he pays attention, and he knows things and he can quote from stuff.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What a great young man you have!<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: Well, Rush, I need you to keep the country together as best as possible because I\u2019m raising this kid as fast I can. Now, granted the nice thing about it is that the president, the current president will not be my son\u2019s commander-in-chief when he graduates from West Point. That\u2019s our goal. But he did the mission. And, you know, we\u2019re very proud of him, and I am just appalled by what\u2019s going on. He\u2019s been over to Africa with us in our work there with amputees a couple times and that\u2019s what his invention was. He came up with a pretty amazing way to help amputees in developing countries.<\/p>\n

RUSH: A Latin teacher asks your son, ‘Why do you want to become a mindless killing machine?\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly, which I think is just a horrendous thing for my teacher to ask any kid — and, you know, ‘Your parents run a Christian mission organization. Why would you want to do this?\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it represents a total lack of respect and understanding of what the purpose of the military is — and its role and its purpose.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My son, he\u2019s 17. Actually he was 16 when he faced him down and he said, ‘You know, there are people that want to kill us. I\u2019m called to keep that from happening.\u2019 I mean, what an amazing — and before I could grab the phone and call over to the school (chuckling), I asked him. I said, ‘What did you say?\u2019 and when he told me, I said, ‘Well, I don\u2019t need to discuss this then. He handled it fine. The teacher stopped talking, said, ‘Good answer,\u2019 and walked away.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, what\u2019s your website?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s StandingWithHope.com<\/a>. My wife is a double amputee herself. And we started putting legs on amputees in developing countries, and we teach them how to do it — and, by the way, Rush, she\u2019s had $9 million worth of health care bills and not one dime from the federal government. Imagine that. Imagine that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s incredible, what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Not even from disability, by the way. And we don\u2019t make a lot of money. We just simply don\u2019t use the government to meet our needs, but I\u2019m real proud of her. I was over in Ghana, and the need is so bad for people over there we wanted to give it away — you know give these limbs away — and the government said said, ‘No, no, no, you have to make them go through the program because we partner with their government and we teach them how to do it,\u2019 and he said, ‘If you give if to them for free they\u2019ll never value it.\u2019 Now, this is the government of Ghana telling us this. And I thought, ‘Well, you know, what have we come to here in America?\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait. I go both ways on that one. We\u2019re talking limbs for amputees here. We aren\u2019t talking food stamps. My suspicion would be — and I don\u2019t know much about the government of Ghana. My suspicion would be that the government of Ghana wants in on the deal so that the citizens think it\u2019s coming from them and not you.<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: No, to their credit, they\u2019ve been a great partner with us — and again, our theme is we teach them how to do it and then we provide them with supplies. And in doing so, we share our message of the Gospel, but we give the supplies freely and the teaching freely, and we spend time doing this, and we recruit prosthetists around the country — not prostitutes Rush. We take prosthetists.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I got it. The people in Rio Linda got a little rise out it —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, they did.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — but I knew what you said.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They got a lot of hookers in Africa. They don\u2019t need more. But we teach them over there, and they teach these guys how to do it for their own people. So it\u2019s been an amazing collaborative effort, and they have actually stepped up and really have been wonderful to work with, and we\u2019re proud to do so, and we\u2019re expanding into other areas of West Africa.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, God bless you. You genuinely are doing the Lord\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, it\u2019s a pleasure, because this is what we do here in America. This is what we do as Christians. But I just wanted you personally to know the impact you\u2019ve had on our son and thank you for it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it sounds to me —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush 24\/7 is a great Christmas gift, if I may make a plug. (laughs)<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s the RushLimbaugh.com website, ladies and gentlemen — and included in that, of course, is the Limbaugh Letter newsletter, and the new issue just came out, I just got mine as the editor-in-chief, it\u2019s the interview with Sarah Palin issue. It sounds to me like you\u2019ve had much more to do with shaping your son than I have.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, yeah, you\u2019re right. I\u2019m his father and I do. But at the same time, it helps to have it right there. I mean, we watched that CPAC speech as a family, by the way. It was a fabulous speech. And we\u2019re standing up cheering. And, by the way, I don\u2019t need people to tell me when I should cheer or not cheer for a speaker.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: It just —<\/p>\n

RUSH: This guy\u2019s on a roll here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, it\u2019s just ridiculous, Rush. I mean, come on. Our son is looking to go there. He looked at me and said, you know, ‘This guy is going to be my commander-in-chief?\u2019 And I said, ‘Well, no. He won\u2019t be by the time you graduate.\u2019 But it was horrendous to watch.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have a cousin. I have a cousin that went to West Point, Dan Limbaugh, and he ended up in the JAG Corps (judge adjutant general) and he taught law there, and he brought members of his class to my TV show back sometime the early nineties in New York. I was in the fifth grade when he got into West Point. The family could not have been prouder.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019m just looking forward to that day — and by the way, we\u2019re not going into this thing blind here. My wife and I are up at Walter Reed a good bit. The military has her come up and sing for the guys. She just had her 73rd surgery in September and that facility where they train all these guys are working out there at Walter Reed. She sang for the groundbreaking of that facility. So we know what he is looking ahead to do. We understand from a very real and personal place — and he\u2019s grown up… His mother\u2019s been a double amputee for all his life just about. So this is not something he\u2019s going into blind with, you know, stars-in-his-eyes kind of thing. This is a serious commitment to serve his country, and he understood the mission, and this is something that he understood more than the president. There are people that want to kill us, and he\u2019s called to keep that from happening.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Don\u2019t think the president doesn\u2019t know that there are people that want to kill us. He knows that. It\u2019s just… They have a point! (sigh) I don\u2019t know how else to say this, folks. I mean, look, it is what it is. Thank you so much, Peter, for the phone call, and congratulations on your son, and best wishes for his ambition to get into the United States Military Academy. <\/line><\/a>Speaking of 24\/7, we just put a T-shirt up there. It\u2019s the ‘Last Man Standing: Rush Hudson Limbaugh! Mmm, mmm, mmm!\u2019 T-shirt now available for those who subscribe to Rush 24\/7 and the Limbaugh Letter or who give a gift of 24\/7 for the holidays. Now, here\u2019s how it works.
