<\/a>RUSH: Oh, I\u2019m glad you reminded me. I\u2019ve got so caught up in this, I didn\u2019t mention it yesterday or today yet. There is a new Rush Revere book<\/a>. That\u2019s right. Thank you for jogging me on this. I\u2019ll make sure to mention this when we finish your call.<\/p>\nCALLER: Well, my 12-year-old son wants to be a movie producer and make movies based on those books.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh. Oh. Oh. That is just fabulous. That\u2019s absolutely wonderful.<\/p>\n
CALLER: The second reason I was calling is we are in Springfield in one of the few reliably Republican parts of Illinois. When my husband went to vote at seven this morning, he was voter number 32. When I went around 11 o\u2019clock, I was number 476. And the average number of voters for the entire Election Day is 500. So that seems to be a pretty big increase to almost hit that before noon.<\/p>\n
RUSH: And you are probably interpreting this as Trump support coming out, right?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I hope so, yes.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I hope you\u2019re right, too. As I say, I could do nothing today if I wanted to take calls from people reporting turnout as record where they are, and email the same. For what it is worth, I drove by my polling place, it looked like nobody was there. I said, “You know, maybe I should stop now. Maybe I ought to go in there now.” That was like 7:30 a.m. It didn\u2019t look like anybody was there.<\/p>\n
And then I got a note from a friend who went to vote, he voted a little bit after 9 a.m., and they\u2019d already set a record for number of people who\u2019d voted during the day. So it just tells you what you see — I mean, I\u2019ve seen long lines at my polling place. I didn\u2019t see anything like that. Now I learn that by 9:30 a.m. they had broken a record or close to it? With so much early voting in Florida you really don\u2019t know how to measure Election Day turnout anyway. Anyway, I appreciate the call, Alice. Thank you so much. <\/p>\n
This next Rush Revere book, Rush Revere and the Presidency, we announced it last week. It\u2019s out there for pre-order. It climbed to number one on Amazon in two or three hours after the announcement. It makes us so grateful for all of you out there. But this book is about the presidency. I don\u2019t want to give too much of it away. But you know what these books are, these books are a way of teaching the truth of American history to young people who may not be learning it in school. And we use a talking horse that time travels to take people actually back to the events, the readers actually experience significant events in American history. <\/p>\n
