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

RUSH: We have an 11-year-old named CJ on the phone from Ohio. Enon, Ohio. Hi, CJ.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Great to have you on the program. I assume, since you\u2019re 11, you must be an eager reader, and you must enjoy the Rush Revere Series<\/a>. That\u2019s probably why you\u2019re calling, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. I wanted to call you because I love your books so much. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10!<\/p>\n

RUSH: (chuckling) Well, thank you. Can\u2019t do much better than that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (giggling)<\/p>\n

RUSH: What\u2019s your favorite part of them?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, when Rush time travels and he brings history alive to his students.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m glad you mentioned that, because that\u2019s actually the whole point. CJ, there\u2019s no wrong answer to any of my questions. So don\u2019t think I\u2019m giving you a test here. <\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, good. I\u2019m genuinely interested in what you think. When you read any of these Rush Revere books, do you think you\u2019re reading just a story or do you think that you\u2019re getting the truth of what really happened in America back in those times? <\/p>\n

CALLER: I feel like I\u2019m getting a mix of both of those things.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow, that is really clever. How do you mean? <\/p>\n

CALLER: How do I what? <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/map>\n<\/p>\n

RUSH: How do you mean that? Where do you discern the difference? You said there\u2019s a mixture of actual truth in American history and other elements. What are the other elements that you discern there are that may not have to do with American history? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, there are parts of American history that I like, and there are parts that are really scary, like losing lives fighting for their freedom.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. I just want to take the opportunity to tell you that one of the things that we worked the hardest at in putting these books together for people like you, people your age, is the truth, as close as we can get to it. As you get older, CJ, you\u2019re going to learn… Hopefully, you\u2019re going to learn all kinds of things about American history that you would be bored by if they were taught to you now. Such as the debates that happened at the Constitutional Convention and some of the really detailed things that take away from the important thrust of each of the elements of American history.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re going to learn those as you get older. But these books will hopefully give you a foundation of truth that you may get in school and you may not. If you don\u2019t get it in school, the purpose of these books is to give you a building block foundation of a central truth about American history in every aspect of it we write about in each book so that you can then build on that as you get older and learn other things about it. Now, for example, a talking horse? That wasn\u2019t part of American history. I know that\u2019s what you mean. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: A talking horse is sort of like fantasy. It\u2019s a vehicle that we use to actually take students back to events in American history and actually live them, which you astutely observed as one of the techniques. I get calls from people like you who read the books and understand why and I\u2019m telling you, you couldn\u2019t give me a bigger compliment than what you did. I really appreciate it. I really appreciate it, CJ. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, thank you, Mr. Rush, because your books… There are parts of American history that I haven\u2019t learned of yet like the Battle of Concord, the Battle of Lexington, things like that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Those are two good examples. Now the Battles of Concord and Lexington. There have been entire books written about each. We couldn\u2019t do that in one of the Rush Revere books, so we have to take the really important elements philosophically and historically, and give them to you in a way that makes sense and is enjoyable to you. A lot of people think history is boring. <\/line><\/p>\n

That\u2019s understandable, too, and we didn\u2019t want any aspect of it to be boring. In fact, the greatest thing that could happen is if people like you become desirous of learning even more truth of it after you have read our books. Who knows? We may be with you all the way through your education, keeping pace with you in terms of what you\u2019re being taught and what you\u2019re learning. But have you read all three? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Actually, I just finished reading all three. I finished the third one yesterday. I have all three of your books in my room right now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And which…? Do you have a favorite? <\/p>\n

CALLER: My favorite is probably… Well, I don\u2019t really have a favorite book. But the closest would probably be the American Revolution, because of the battles.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what it\u2019s all about. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, it showed how brave the American patriot army was and it showed they were fighting for their freedom, and they didn\u2019t want King George III bossing them around like he\u2019s the ruler of the whole world.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly right. That\u2019s exactly right. And you know one of the things that we will touch on, if we keep going here into later things, is the French. The French today we kind of make fun of the French and their lack of a military. But had it not been for the French, we wouldn\u2019t have had a chance. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Someday you\u2019re going to go to Mount Vernon, you\u2019re going to go to George Washington\u2019s house, and you\u2019ll be in the living room where he received the Marquis de Lafayette and began the whole process of French support for the American Revolution. Because we had a common enemy at the time: Great Britain. But when the revolution started we didn\u2019t have any ammunition. We didn\u2019t have any guns. We had nowhere near the arsenal that Great Britain had. We had all kinds of tremendous allies with great foreign policy back then. Thomas Jefferson…<\/p>\n

All of it is just… It\u2019s a miracle, CJ, how this country happened. It literally is a miracle, and it\u2019s not being taught anymore. It just isn\u2019t. The multi-cultural curriculum has taken over and we\u2019re in a cycle now where America is being cast as illegitimate and all other kinds of really horrible mean things, and we\u2019re not mean. We\u2019re not a mean country and we\u2019re not mean people. We\u2019re just the opposite. I just want… I love America and I\u2019m as proud as I can be of our country, and I want you to be. That\u2019s why the books. I\u2019m glad you called, CJ. I really appreciate it. Hang on. I want Mr. Snerdley to get an address for you so we can send you a little package of goodies here in exchange for your loyalty and support. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mr. Snerdley told me there were a couple of things from CJ that he didn\u2019t have a chance to say during his call. One of them is that his sister works at Mount Vernon, George Washington\u2019s crib. He also has a direct line, genealogical line, to Patrick Henry. His family can somehow trace back to Patrick Henry. Now, that\u2019s very cool. I wish CJ had a chance to mention that. But at least he mentioned it to Snerdley and we passed it on. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
