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

RUSH: Sam in Memphis. It\u2019s great to have you on the program, sir. You\u2019re up first today. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush how are you doing? It\u2019s an honor to speak to you, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. I\u2019m doing great.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir. I came to this country, and I heard about you on CNN about Operation Chaos in 2008 and I started listening to you, and since then I just fell in love with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Is that right? You heard about me through CNN and Operation Chaos<\/a>?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: Did you know…? When they explained Operation Chaos, did it make sense to you? Did they explain it right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No they did not. I was just asking myself, “Who\u2019s this Rush Limbaugh guy?” So I started listening to you, and you just made a lot of sense to me, \u2019cause, I mean, I\u2019m coming from a country where our president has been in power for 20 years and I\u2019m just scared what\u2019s going on in this country, and my dad, he came —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Where are you from? What African country you from?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Chad. Very central Africa.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Chad.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Central Africa. Okay.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir. He came in 2009 for my graduation, and I told him, “Hey, you need to listen to this guy,” and he just loved you since then (chuckles) and I send him a lot. He listens to you every night, nine p.m. back home.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No kidding?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No kidding.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) He just asked me to send him see I suddenly so and Rush Revere and he\u2019s reading both of them right now. So I just want to thank you, and I appreciate what you do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you think he\u2019s listening right now?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, he is, actually.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What\u2019s his name? What\u2019s his first name?<\/p>\n

CALLER: His first name is Ali. (chuckles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, let\u2019s say hi to him!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Ali, he\u2019s listening right now. I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s connected on the phone but he\u2019s really happy right now \u2019cause when I get off the phone with you he\u2019s gonna call me.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019ve got listeners in Chad now. I tell you, the interesting thing is that you arrived here having heard about me, right? “Who is this Rush Limbaugh guy?” And then you heard CNN explain Operation Chaos.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019ve been here ever since.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Ever since. Yes. ‘Cause, I mean, what you say just make a lot of sense. You know, coming from a dictatorial country, I mean, I know what\u2019s going on, and I just think you\u2019re right on, man.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, that\u2019s a lot. You come here from a dictatorial country, and you probably have a really conscious, everyday appreciation for the differences in freedom here and there. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir. Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And a lot of Americans, of course, never lived in Chad or under a dictatorship until now, and just take it for granted. But I\u2019m really honored that you\u2019re out there, Sam. Thanks very much for calling. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
