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

RUSH: It is unheard of. Well, not unheard of, but, I mean, it is really rare what you all did. It is unbelievably rare what you all did yesterday. Wait \u2019til you hear what you did.<\/p>\n

JOHNNY DONOVAN: And now, from sunny South Florida, it\u2019s Open Line Friday!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Greetings, my friends, and welcome to the one and only Excellence in Broadcasting Network and Rush Limbaugh behind the Golden EIB Microphone and three hours of broadcast excellence called Open Line Friday, where you, when we go to the phones, get to talk about whatever you want to talk about. Telephone number, 800-282-2882.<\/p>\n

So yesterday I announced that I have written a new book, a children\u2019s book. I told you all the reasons why, which I\u2019m gonna recount here in just a second. I told you it\u2019s available in hardcover, in e-book format, and audio. And we gave you the links, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks\/iTunes. And about an hour after the program yesterday, the book was number one on Amazon, and it\u2019s not even available. The book will be available on October 29th. This doesn\u2019t happen. This was not number one in pre-orders. This was a pre-ordered book at the top of the Amazon list. That is what you people did yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

This is why I love you. This is why I continue to sit here and really deeply appreciate and marvel at the bond that has always existed between me — and actually all of us here. Me, the overrated staff, all of us — and you. I can\u2019t tell you how much happiness and joy you brought to everybody, including me yesterday. And I tell you, it was so funny. Poor old Carol Costello tweeted she was sick<\/a>. She tweeted it in two places, the Huffing and Puffington Post and somewhere else, that she was sick.<\/p>\n

(interruption)<\/p>\n

She what? No, no. She\u2019s sick that the book came out. She\u2019s been sick over her ratings, I mean, ever since, 20 years. There aren\u2019t any ratings. I mean, she\u2019s immune to sickness from her ratings. You have to be at CNN. Anyway, people were sending me links to websites I\u2019ve never heard of. Young, snarky liberal bloggers. Some of this stuff was just funny. I can\u2019t remember the guy\u2019s name. It might have been a woman, and this woman was outraged. They could not believe that I was gonna get away with this, writing a children\u2019s book.<\/line><\/p>\n

Her post said (paraphrasing), “After all of the time it has taken us to finally expunge from the record the lies of the founding of this country, we\u2019ve got Limbaugh who\u2019s gonna go back and try to reestablish what has taken us all these years to get rid of.” And then she said, “But I have to admit, and you all have to admit, the guy\u2019s a genius. He\u2019s just an absolute genius.” And she spelled out why she was irritated, and that equaled me being a genius. And then she said, “But don\u2019t be fooled why Limbaugh\u2019s doing this. He\u2019s not doing this \u2019cause he cares about the kids, and he\u2019s not doing this to reverse the historical record, and he doesn\u2019t really want to sell any books. He\u2019s doing this to make us mad. He\u2019s doing this to make liberals mad.” And there were countless posts like this.<\/p>\n

The left is in a tizzy. They can\u2019t believe, after all the success they think they\u2019ve had with their multicultural curriculum, that I am gonna come along and reestablish what they had to get rid of, which they think are lies in the first place. I\u2019ve told you there are people who do not like the way this country was founded. They do not think that it was just and moral and all that. Evil white guys that came here and ended up destroying everything that was and corrupting everything that came after. They really believe it. This is what they\u2019ve been taught.<\/p>\n

By the way, that professor at Michigan State University that we played the audio sound bite, he\u2019s been suspended for three months, with pay, big whoop. But he\u2019s been suspended.<\/p>\n

So, anyway, here\u2019s another thing, folks. This book, Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans, let me tell you what else you did. The people at Simon & Schuster sent us a note last night, just came across the transom, “By the way, we\u2019re going to get the search problems fixed ASAP.” I said, “What is this, search problems?” “Oh, yeah, we had some problems with search today.” “What problems?” I didn\u2019t get an answer to it, didn\u2019t matter. Even with search problems the book was number one on Amazon. I imagine the search problem was probably rooted in Rush Limbaugh versus Rush Revere. I\u2019ll bet you it was related to that. You ought to be able to search either one and get the book, which you now can, but even with that, folks, even with that you vaulted this book, which doesn\u2019t come out until October 29th, to number one. <\/line><\/p>\n

I\u2019m having people e-mail me, “You wrote a book for kids and you didn\u2019t try to tell \u2019em what to eat? You\u2019re not hectoring them for being fat?” That\u2019s exactly right. There\u2019s nothing in this book about what they should eat or what they shouldn\u2019t eat, whether they\u2019re fat or not. There\u2019s nothing in it about conflict resolution. There\u2019s nothing in it about feelings and getting along. It\u2019s the truth about the Pilgrims is all it is. This book is a way of teaching what is not being taught.<\/p>\n

I have been frustrated, as have you, over what kids are learning in school, at all schools, at all levels, but primarily in their really formative years. Elementary school, on into middle school and high school. I\u2019ve talked about it a lot here, how we\u2019ve lost our presence in education, academia, and in the pop culture. And every one of us always asks of ourselves, “What can I do? What more can I do?” And I\u2019ve always wanted to do something about education, so this book is an effort to get started, and it is written for children, it\u2019s a children\u2019s book, ages 10 to 13, but it is intended for everybody. It\u2019s intended for parents and grandparents.<\/p>\n

I was talking to Snerdley today about the concept of Rush Babies. A Rush Baby is somebody who grew up with their parents having this radio program on every day and didn\u2019t get talked out of it when they got to school. They remained Rush Babies all the way through school. And how many of you parents believe what you believe, it\u2019s in your hearth, you live your life that way, and you want to be able to instruct your kids in that but you\u2019re not sure that you\u2019re going to be able to do it, and frankly if you say, “Well, look, you ought to listen to this guy on the radio with me.”<\/p>\n

“Come on, Dad, I don\u2019t want to listen to talk radio. Give me some Jay-Z or whatever. I don\u2019t want talk radio, Dad, I want video games.” So here comes a way — you know, parents are never right, folks. Mom and dad never have the right answers, particularly at a certain age. So here comes Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, Rush Revere time travels, his horse, Liberty time travels, can go anywhere in American history, anywhere they want, any time. They can take people with them. And in this book they time travel back to Holland. Then they get on the Mayflower. They get off the Mayflower. Come back to present day. Then they go back to the Mayflower a couple of weeks later, see what\u2019s changed. Come back to present day, \u2019cause the Rush Revere character who is the icon for Two If By Tea brought to life now is a substitute teacher at a middle school anywhere in America.<\/p>\n

No, no, I\u2019m not giving any details away. I\u2019m just giving you what\u2019s possible, the magic here, the things that appeal to kids. They can go there. They don\u2019t have to have history told. They can be taken to it. And that\u2019s what the book does. It takes them to the Mayflower. They\u2019re on it. They are at the settlement in Plymouth. They are at the first Thanksgiving. They go back and forth and they can go anywhere they want. Liberty, the talking horse, is what makes it all possible.<\/line><\/p>\n

This Rush Revere guy goes dressed up as Paul Revere everywhere he goes \u2019cause it\u2019s one of his heroes. It\u2019s fun, folks, because there are no limits on where Rush Revere and Liberty can go. So that broadens up just in a creative sense — that just expands — the universe of possibilities in great ways. But, you know, we live in an amazing free country, founded by people with unwavering spirit and determination.<\/p>\n

Not just to survive, \u2019cause that was difficult enough for them, but they wanted to triumph, regardless of the hardships and the obstacles they faced. And it was just… Oh, there was a brief blurb in the Washington Post, a Q&A thing: What do you need to know about Limbaugh\u2019s new children\u2019s book? One of the questions the writer posed, “Does Obama get elbowed?” Meaning, can I do something without mentioning Obama.<\/p>\n

Obama is not in the book. There\u2019s no way. Obama\u2019s not in the book, but yesterday I talked about Obama because Obama said recently that exceptional Americans are few and far between, and ordinary people doing extraordinary things doesn\u2019t happen all that much. He cited people that never, ever get to do anything extraordinary — busboys, porters, waiters, maids — and it\u2019s not true. It\u2019s the story of America: Ordinary people doing extraordinary things.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always believed that kids\u2019 dreams are where their futures live, and there\u2019s no reason to shut them down. There\u2019s no reason to tell kids at a young age negative things. “You can\u2019t do that! Stop thinking that. You\u2019re never gonna be able to doing doo that. Who do you think you are?” That\u2019s pointless. We go at this an entirely different way. Anything\u2019s possible, because you\u2019re an American. Whatever you want to do, if you\u2019re willing to do what it takes, you can do it.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t being taught. It\u2019s not even really part of the message that elected leaders carry any longer about America. It\u2019s sorely missing, and people be had after me for years to write another book, and to me it\u2019s been there; done that. I did two books and they sold magnificently, and they were of the conservative manifesto genre, which is crowded. A lot of people have done so; so why should I reenter that?<\/p>\n

And then Kathryn gave me the idea: “Look, you care about kids. You care about education. Why don\u2019t you write a children\u2019s book?” and then we did and put it all together, and it was so much fun. You hear people talk about, “I want to make a difference.” Here is an entree for me. I don\u2019t have kids. I have nephews and nieces. The idea of sitting down and talking to them about the things I believe, things that I think are important, like my dad with me, did with me?<\/p>\n

I would like to do that, and I have not known if I could make it interesting, just me telling them what I think, to kids. That\u2019s what the book is. It\u2019s an entree to, really, people that you want to think positively. You want them dreaming. You want them understanding why things are possible. I do, anyway. I want the children of this country to grow up believing in themselves, thinking that whatever they want to do, they can do. No matter who the president is. No matter what political party is in power.<\/p>\n

I want them believing that they can do what they want to do, and all people need is role model examples. Most people, if you tell \u2019em, “It\u2019s been done before,” it gives them the idea that it can be done again. You don\u2019t need to hear what\u2019s not possible. They don\u2019t need to hear what\u2019s too hard. They don\u2019t need to have risk taken out of their lives. Speaking of that, Snerdley, has this program ever been delayed because of lightning?<\/p>\n

Has this program ever been delayed because of a weather forecast or a radar scan that showed a little rain? Could you believe that? I mean, here the NFL last night<\/a> had a big countdown, all these players doing an individual numbered countdowns 30 to one for the big kickoff, and then they announce a delay because there\u2019s lightning in the area. But there wasn\u2019t. There wasn\u2019t one cloud burst; there wasn\u2019t any lightning. It\u2019s football!<\/p>\n

They also made no effort to get the fans out of the stadium. I mean, there\u2019s lightning out there. Get out. Well, it\u2019d be impossible to do anyway \u2019cause there are 80,000 people in that stadium. You can\u2019t get them all under cover, but they had to get the players out there. And then the delay went about 15 minutes longer than they thought. Poor Al Michaels and Collinsworth. That\u2019s one thing they hadn\u2019t prepped for. It\u2019s the first game of the season. There\u2019s nothing to talk about. Nothing\u2019s happened yet in the NFL season.<\/p>\n

They did a good job vamping, but, man, what a start — and then when they finally came out, refs had to go get the Ravens. The Ravens stayed in the locker room long after the Broncos came out. and I figured out why. The Ravens are ticked off they had to be in Denver. They won the Super Bowl. They get the home game last night. But they had to go to Denver, so they\u2019re gonna act like they\u2019re the home team.<\/p>\n

They came out last. They made sure of that. I\u2019m sure that\u2019s what went on in there, I\u2019m sure that that\u2019s what was happening. And, you know, the Baltimore Orioles wouldn\u2019t change a game date last night. They wouldn\u2019t change a night game to a day game, and nobody attended the Orioles really. They got off to a slow start. Anyway, folks, I want to thank you again for what you did.<\/p>\n

You all have no way of knowing what just your presence, just your being there has meant to me and my family over all of these years. People tell me how important the program\u2019s been to them, and it may be. I appreciate that. But it can\u2019t… It pales in comparison to what your presence here every day has meant to me. You know, we want to be proud of this country again. We want to be proud of the founding principles.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re so proud of \u2019em, we want them known. We don\u2019t want them obscured and discarded. We want the history of this country as it happened taught. It\u2019s an honorable history. It\u2019s a greatness. It\u2019s a specialness that need not have been corrupted as it has with a multicultural curriculum. You people, it can\u2019t happen without you — and it\u2019s off to a roaring start. Again, I just thank you from the bottom of my heart. The book is Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just got a note, and please listen to me carefully. I just got a note from a guy who said congratulations, this shows how revered you are. I wrote him back, and I said, “No, that\u2019s not what this shows. What you all did, making this book number one in pre-orders…” By the way, it\u2019s a real book. It\u2019s for children, but it\u2019s 200-plus pages, not some chintzy little cartoon thing out there. It\u2019s a real book.<\/p>\n

It does have illustrations, but what this is a real book. People haven\u2019t given up on this country, and they don\u2019t want to give up on this country, and people want to be proud of this country. People revere this country, and they want reaffirming, validating messages about what they dream and hope and desire for the country to be. That\u2019s what this means. There is a hunger for the traditions and institutions of America being triumphant again. That\u2019s what this means. You\u2019re all doing fabulous now.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

One other thing I want to share with you about this, the book. Again, it\u2019s Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans, of course by me. If you search “Rush Revere” or “Rush Limbaugh” you\u2019ll find it, and even with the search problems, you still made it number one in pre-orders in all these categories.<\/p>\n

But I have to tell you something, and it ought not surprise me, I guess. You know, in a way I\u2019m glad that it does, but I wish it didn\u2019t. People send me this stuff yesterday afternoon and last night. I was not searching for it. I would get a link to this comment on the book or a link to that comment at the Washington Post<\/a>, Slate.com<\/a>, you name it, supposed mainstream places. And, folks, they would write, “Limbaugh\u2019s message is one of self-reliance, hard work, overcoming obstacles.”<\/p>\n

They\u2019re snarky about that.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t quite know how to describe it other than to say they were mocking the message. “Limbaugh believes,” as though it\u2019s silly to believe that hard work pays off, it\u2019s silly to believe in rugged individualism, it\u2019s silly to believe in self-reliance, it\u2019s silly to believe in all of these things. Silly! I mean, it\u2019s worth being snarky about? It\u2019s no different than having some truly controversial conspiracy theory. As I\u2019m reading this stuff, I think, “Who the hell are these people and what in the world have they been taught?”<\/p>\n

They\u2019re sneering at these time-honored, human truths, concepts of triumph over obstacles, adversity, hard work, self-reliance. There were a number of them that took shots at my version, my version of the real Thanksgiving, which is that the commune failed. They were livid, or snarky about this. And it\u2019s not “my” version. It\u2019s what happened! William Bradford wrote about it. The Pilgrim leader wrote how socialism failed. It was really seductive; they thought it would be nice \u2019cause it was fair.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll give you a little hint. One of the things I do in the book is very subtly try to square this whole concept of fairness and not let it become what it\u2019s been today: A way to shut down achievement, to shut down excellence. It\u2019s not fair to excel at something. Not in my books, folks. It isn\u2019t gonna be the case. Anyway, I was just reading this sneering — sneering at individual achievement, sneering at investing in yourself, sneering at hard work.<\/p>\n

Snarky comments. Even though I know why and who and all that about those people, it just amazes me that it\u2019s possible, that people living in this country… I could understand somebody living in Cuba or China sneering at these kinds of things. Anyway, it just added up to all being more evidence about why this is a good idea, and it just amplified the gratitude I have for all of you for doing what you did.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

I said something a moment ago about the book and an e-mail I got from a guy who said, “This just shows how revered you are.” I said, “No, no, it does not show that.”<\/line>This isn\u2019t really about me. Okay, somewhat, but, look, what really is going on here is people want to believe in this country. I think it\u2019s the same thing that is responsible for this program succeeding when it started. A voice validating what people already believe. People are tired of what\u2019s being taught. They want to believe in the goodness of this country. They want to believe in the goodness and the greatness of the people of this country, and they want their kids to learn about that. So that\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to do here.<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, all this talk about what\u2019s happened with the book, the pre-order announced yesterday, and you all made that book, my book, my children\u2019s book, Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans, you made it number one on Amazon and Barnes & Noble as a pre-order. Not number one in the pre-order category, number one everywhere. And there were even search problems that people had. I didn\u2019t find that out \u2019til last night, and even with the search problems it became number one.<\/p>\n

Now, there\u2019s something I forgot to mention today. We have a special price at TwoIfByTea.com in honor of the book being announced and because our tea icon, Rush Revere, has been brought to life as the lead character in the book. And so we\u2019ve reduced the price of a case of tea, 12 bottles, to $16.20 in honor of the Pilgrims. Do you know why $16.20, Brian? Quick, pop quiz, $16.20. That\u2019s right. That\u2019s the year. Exactly right. Way to go. So $16.20 for 12 bottles, it\u2019s a case, until 11:59 p.m. Pacific time, at TwoIfByTea.com, which has all the information about the book, as does RushLimbaugh.com, with all the links to Amazon, iBooks, iTunes, and Barnes and Noble.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Again, folks, I don\u2019t know if you take the time to visit some of these obscure websites, or if you would even know of them. Everybody has a website. Everybody has a blog or tweets and Facebooks, and the left is in a tizzy. Carol Costello at CNN admitted being sick, but the general theme on the left about this is, honestly now, I\u2019ve actually seen this in two of them. I\u2019m paraphrasing, but it\u2019s very close to the exact quote. “Oh, no, it\u2019s taken us 50 years to erase the BS of how this country came to be and here comes Limbaugh trying to reestablish it.”<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s been all kinds of snarkiness about my version of Thanksgiving. And it\u2019s not my version. It\u2019s what really happened. And the snarkiness is, the Pilgrims, William Bradford, who led the Pilgrim population, wrote about it. That\u2019s how I learned it. He wrote about it. It was in his journal. They tried giving everybody an equal share, equal plot of land. Everybody got the same amount of money. No matter what was produced, no matter who produced what, everybody got the same. And they had a bunch of slackers, and they had others who did all the work. And the people doing all the work eventually said, “You know, this isn\u2019t working, \u2019cause old Zeke over there is not doing anything, and he\u2019s getting the same I am.”<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t work. Socialism didn\u2019t work. And the original Thanksgiving is William Bradford giving thanks to God for that. And that lesson, echoed by George Washington in his first Thanksgiving proclamation<\/a>, which is a Thanksgiving for this nation to God. And the snarkiness and the sneering of critics of a book they haven\u2019t even read yet \u2019cause it\u2019s not published, about my version of Thanksgiving<\/a>, all because I point out that they tried socialism and it didn\u2019t work, and so that\u2019s worth sneers and snarkiness. You\u2019ve heard me talk about it, lamenting and worrying about what kids are being taught, and I know you are, too. This book is my attempt to correct what I think are mistakes.<\/p>\n

This book is about American exceptionalism and greatness and how it\u2019s possible, and how we wouldn\u2019t be here if there hadn\u2019t been those characteristics in people. Let me give an example. Slate.com. Slate snark. “Limbaugh made sure to stress that his book — one he hopes will be the first in a series — has no political agenda. ‘The true story of Thanksgiving,\u2019 he promised listeners today. ‘There\u2019s no politics in this.\u2019 That\u2019s obviously somewhat difficult to believe, in no smart [sic] because Limbaugh\u2019s told his version of the Thanksgiving story before. Last year, for instance, he concluded his retelling like so: ‘The true story of Thanksgiving is how socialism failed. With all the great expectations and high hopes, it failed. And self-reliance, rugged individualism, free enterprise, whatever you call it, resulted in prosperity that they never dreamed of.'”<\/p>\n

And they\u2019re just beside themselves over that. It\u2019s one thing for me to say this everything Thanksgiving, but now, to have it in a book where it\u2019s written down for children — (gasping) — panic city, they\u2019re worried about it. And just the fact that you all made it number one has got \u2019em spinning. You know, we even knocked Fifty Shades of Grey off of the number one best-seller spot. Ha! So, again, I can\u2019t thank you all enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
