I\u2019m grateful beyond my ability to express.  I really hope they like it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  They absolutely love them.  Matter of fact, my husband came home from lunch and we read a couple pages already.  We have to read them together as a family because my husband and I enjoy them as much as the three children do.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, you know, we hear from people this kind of story all the time, that there are some adults learning things they weren\u2019t taught about American history as they read these books, and that\u2019s been an added bonus. But, look, I\u2019m so appreciative you went out and bought the book and then went to the trouble to call here and tell me about it.  I can\u2019t thank you enough. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Can the children say hello to you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Sure, absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Okay, here they go.<\/p>\n<p>CHILD:  Hi.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CHILD:  Hi.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  What\u2019s your name?<\/p>\n<p>CHILD:  Sterling.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Marilyn, is it?

We had many different designs and samples and we finally settled on one, and we have \u2019em. So if you hang on, Mr. Snerdley can get your address and we\u2019ll get some stuff sent out to you and the kids as a token of appreciation.  Thanks so much for calling and I really do hope you enjoy the book.  As much fun as we have putting these books together, and they are, they\u2019re crafted, they\u2019re put together, it\u2019s really gratifying to hear people like \u2019em.  Just is.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Just a brief, brief, brief little self-indulgent reminder.  This is opening day, this is release day for the fourth in the series of Rush Revere Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans series.  It\u2019s a series of children\u2019s books on American history and the truth about it.  This is Rush Revere and the Star-Spangled Banner, and it\u2019s got some new directions from the other four books.  There\u2019s time travel back to the Constitution as it\u2019s the written. <\/p>\n<p>This is the great thing about these books, if I may say so, is that these great moments in American history are relived because of the time-travel capability of Liberty, the talking horse. Rush Revere, the substitute teacher, is able to take students back anywhere in American history.  In this book they go back to the actual battle where our National Anthem, the Star-Spangled Banner was written.  Francis Scott Key writes it and explains why, what moves him, the whole story behind it. <\/p>\n<p>Stop and think for a second, the World Series is tonight. The National Anthem is gonna be played before the game, as it always is. It\u2019s gonna be televised nationally.  Everybody knows the words, but I wonder how many people, particularly young people, know the story behind the National Anthem, how it was written, why it was written, what it signifies.  Really, I wonder how many people now, even including into adulthood, were actually taught the story versus had it glossed over or just highlighted or what have you. <\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s something that\u2019s part of our culture.  It\u2019s played before every seminal event, sports and otherwise, and it\u2019s become almost just rote that people recite the song, cite the lyrics.  But the real story behind it is another one of the amazing miracles of American history and the founding. They also go back to when the Constitution was written.  James Madison, the father of the Constitution, students get to ask questions. He explains things at their life level, questions they would have in ways that they would understand what\u2019s going on.  Profound events are brought to life in these books and that\u2019s how they\u2019re learned and experienced by actually taking the reader and placing the reader at that moment in time. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rush-Revere-Star-Spangled-Banner-Limbaugh\/dp\/1476789886\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1443539751&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=rush+revere+and+the+star+spangled+banner\"><img id=\"eZObject_112859\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushRevereBook-1234.jpg\"\/><\/a>The stories of the American founding are miraculous, a series of miracles that took place for this country to come into existence and a series of miracles that structured this country to give it staying power, if you will.  Imagine a document written hundreds of years ago that still is the shining jewel of the world in terms of self-government. Timeless, despite the fact that there are Americans that don\u2019t like it and want to get rid of it, all the more reason for young people today to understand it.  That\u2019s the task that we have undertaken, make it interesting, enlightening, fun, and real. <\/p>\n<p>So the fourth book in the series, Rush Revere and the Star-Spangled Banner is on the shelf today.  It\u2019s been in pre-order for a month, but now you can actually go in there and get it.  And you know what I\u2019m gonna do?  I keep referencing these e-mails that we get from people, some of the pictures that they send us.  I\u2019m gonna start reading these just now and then.  I\u2019m not gonna overwhelm you with it, but it\u2019s amazing the degree of involvement that people are having and the involvement their kids are having in American history reading what they heretofore had no interest in, so say their parents.  It\u2019s all been extremely rewarding, and if you don\u2019t mind, folks,  you know, I love sharing my passions, and I really do love sharing this experience with you, as I have most everything else that\u2019s happened in the course of my life on this program. <\/p>\n<p>So I just wanted to let you know that it\u2019s out and it\u2019s just something that we believe in totally, and the feedback that we get is more reward than we ever expected.  So happy with the way things are working out with it. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rush-Revere-Star-Spangled-Banner-Limbaugh\/dp\/1476789886\">Rush Revere and the Star-Spangled Banner<\/a>.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This Melinda, Lyndhurst, Virginia.
