I\u2019m glad you called, sir. Welcome to our program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It\u2019s an honor, sir. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Very well.

I owe you the biggest apology in the world, and I want everybody to know it. For years I listened to your show and I thought you were a big bag of wind. Mr. Limbaugh, I\u2019m gonna tell you what. You hit the nail on the head every single time. For the past year-and-a-half I have been listening to you tremendously. You know what you\u2019re talking about. Everything you have said is nothing but truth. I was nothing but a die-hard Democrat. Forgive me for swearing on the radio like that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) It\u2019s all right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And I follow Donald Trump. I back Donald Trump. He is a businessman. He\u2019s not a politician. He is a good man. This country just needs to give him a chance. And if people would open up their ears and their eyes like you have done for me, this country would be 120 percent better. And I just wanted to thank you and apologize for &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I sincerely appreciate that. It\u2019s kind of understandable if you said you were a Democrat listening to me, I can understand you being outraged. But Trump is what caused the bridge to be built, right? You ended up being for Trump. You find that I\u2019m understanding of Trump and explaining to people why Trump is supported, and it pretty much paralleled why you support him. And so then you realized maybe I wasn\u2019t the gas bag you thought I was?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No. No. Nope. I\u2019ll put it to you this way. My grandfather used to say, &#8220;If you tell me a chicken can pull a bale of hay, I\u2019m gonna harness that chicken,&#8221; simple as that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, I thank you so much for taking my call.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right. Well, look, I appreciate your call sincerely, and I\u2019m glad you\u2019re able to get through here so that I could chat with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CALLER:  For the past year-and-a-half I have been listening to you tremendously.
