RUSH: I am very happy to welcome to the program Jenny Ballantine from Durham, New Hampshire. She\u2019s a student at the University of New Hampshire. Jenny, hi.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Hi.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can\u2019t tell you how excited I am that you agreed to do this. This is something I\u2019ve been looking forward to ever since I heard an edited version of your question to Senator Edwards yesterday. Let me ask you a question first off. Are you nervous?<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: A little, yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Don\u2019t be nervous. Don\u2019t be nervous. I talked to my chief of staff this morning, who told me that you had some doubts and that some people told you that you\u2019re going to be mistreated on the program, and I want to assure you that when this is all over you\u2019re going to have felt like a mink glove has been massaging your back.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Yaay!<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re going to want to do it over and over. Don\u2019t be nervous. Now, first, so people who weren\u2019t with us yesterday will understand what this is about, I want to play the full version of your question. We edited it yesterday for time, but we\u2019ll play the full version of the question because this is the reason I wanted to talk to you. It takes about a minute and 42 seconds and this was her question yesterday to Senator Edwards at a town hall meeting. Well, actually was it Tuesday?<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Yeah, it was Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Monday night. I\u2019m sorry. It was Monday night because Tuesday I had class.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, fine. Here\u2019s the question that you asked. <\/p>\n

BALLANTINE: Hi. My name is Jenny Ballantine and I\u2019m a senior here. I\u2019ve kind of been all over the place. I\u2019m going to throw you a little zinger, so it\u2019s not so much a question. It\u2019s more words of encouragement and inspiration on my behalf. I\u2019ve been on my own since 14. I am one of those people that you\u2019re talking about that is poverty stricken. I made less than 8,000 this past year. Instead of going to school, I could have gone the dirty place, the bad place. I need help. I need severe help. I need to be able to look to my leader and see words of encouragement, words of hope. I need to be able to trust that person. I need to be able to know that I\u2019m going to grow in a world that\u2019s not going to be full of hate and prejudice and racism and to know that I matter, that I wasn\u2019t just dumped in this world for no particular reason whatsoever. I\u2019m — pardon my French. I\u2019m busting my ass, still in school. I work 25 to 30 hours a week, and it\u2019s just me and my dog. So what can you do for the people that are in my situation that are trying their damnedest in school, wanting to go to grad school, is going to be hit with the loans — oh, God the loans! (audience laughter) Oh, Jesus — and I have no idea what I want to do when I grow up. I don\u2019t know what I want to be when I\u2019m an adult. But I\u2019m 22 right now. So people are like, ‘Honey, you are an adult.\u2019 So (mic feedback) sorry. So I know this isn\u2019t a question, but, you know, it\u2019s about me. It\u2019s about me voting for you or supporting somebody who\u2019s going to be the next president. So it\u2019s all about me right now. (audience laughter) I\u2019ve always wanted to say that. (audience laughter) Just kidding.<\/p>\n

EDWARDS: You enjoyed that, didn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: I do. I enjoy this very much. All the cameras are on me. (audience laughter)<\/p>\n

EDWARDS: (chuckles)<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: So just words of encouragement, something, just give me something. It\u2019s been really rough.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, now, I\u2019m not going to play Edwards\u2019 answer because this is not about Edwards. It\u2019s about you.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Oh, sweet.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Pardon?<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: I said, ‘Sweet.\u2019 I was excited. I was just excited.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the reason I wanted to talk to you is because you sound very intelligent.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Well, thank you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: At the same time, you sound desperate, and you sound almost like you have some hopelessness, you\u2019re consumed with hopeless here, and in this question, ‘I need to be able to look to my leader and see words of encouragement, words of help. I need to be able to trust that person.\u2019<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And I don\u2019t know anything about your background, but I have a belief, Jenny. I believe that most people are far more capable of great things than they realize. They\u2019re just not inspired that way when they\u2019re kids, when they\u2019re growing up, especially, in some cases, young girls are told they can\u2019t be X or can\u2019t be Y or whatever they say they want to do. I had a call from a woman who wanted to be a cop. She just wanted to be a police officer. Her parents told her, ‘That\u2019s not for women. Women can\u2019t do that,\u2019 and she went through her life and got married at 19, did everything she didn\u2019t want to do, until finally in her thirties, she said, ‘The hell with this. I\u2019m going to do what I want,\u2019 and she\u2019s now a cop and she\u2019s never been happier. <\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re looking for inspiration. The situation that you describe yourself being in, your student loans and you only made $8,000, and you\u2019re in poverty, you know, you\u2019re not unique in that. You\u2019re an American, and countless Americans have come from circumstances that are worse than yours and have triumphed over all kinds of obstacles and have become great, and the opportunity is there for you, too. But the idea that you think you need leadership or inspiration from a presidential candidate, any presidential candidate, is a mistake. That\u2019s not what presidents are for. Presidents are not to motivate and inspire. Well, they can if you really happen to agree with them and so forth, but what you need or what you want is inside you. It\u2019s inside you! You have all the capability in the world. Now, you\u2019re going to need help. Everybody does. But I just wanted to caution you: Don\u2019t sit around and wait for any presidential candidate to determine how you feel or think about your future. They ought to have not that much to do with it.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Yeah, I understand that, and I knew I wasn\u2019t going to be expecting a hard-core answer. I just absolutely wanted to throw him a zinger, to give not a look at the real world, but to understand that it isn\u2019t a publicity stunt. It isn\u2019t about him campaigning around, making his millions, not giving his two cents worth to just ordinary people. So I don\u2019t know. I just kind of wanted to just throw something out there, and I understand it\u2019s all about myself, and I don\u2019t need to look into the words of encouragement from a president or anything in that respect but it\u2019s just also, too, to see that young people are trying to find a role model to look into, and I\u2019m not one for Hollywood to look for a role model. You know, I\u2019ve got a poli-sci and art and history major going on right now, so I was trying to —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You got a double major, political science and art?<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Yeah. Art history and political science, so it\u2019s a dual major.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You say you have a 3.0, is that what you said?<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Yeah, I have a little bit over a 3.0. I don\u2019t know the specifics, but I have over a 3.0.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so maybe I misinterpreted your question, but it sounds to me you\u2019re still in the throes of despondency or depression or you\u2019re unhappy. What is it about your life experience right now that\u2019s causing you to feel that way? Why do you feel lost? Why do you feel like there\u2019s no future for you?<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s hard for me to gather resources and to gather information that I need to seek out internships, to know that I have a stable position, that I have a safety net set up. If I had planned on doing an internship, say, down in Washington, DC, that I\u2019ll be able to pack up all my stuff — and I have my dog, a responsibility right there. I need to make sure that he\u2019s accommodated for, and it\u2019s just I don\u2019t have that many prominent adults. I have a handful of prominent adults that I can speak with or that can help or give me assurance and guidance but it\u2019s difficult because I\u2019m just kind of — I mean, I\u2019m young and just trying to figure out everything. It\u2019s a little overwhelming, and I come from a really rough background, and so that kind of doesn\u2019t follow me around, but it\u2019s just always a reminder. So, yeah, I am a little depressed, and I am a little not happy with my life, but things are perking up and as I get older, I mean, I accomplish each challenge and struggle, and I\u2019ve been surviving so far.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See, I think you have a lot about your life that you could reflect upon and take the positive from. I don\u2019t know what the details are, and I don\u2019t want you to have to tell them, but you said that you come from a really rough background. It seems you\u2019ve overcome that. You\u2019re in college. You\u2019re getting a little above a 3.0 in poli-sci. You have a double major in art history. You\u2019re an American, and one of the things that I wanted to try to impress upon you is that this is a country because of the freedom that we have —<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Mmm-hmm?<\/p>\n

RUSH: You can do anything. Now, wait a minute. Listen to me. There\u2019s nobody stopping you but you. Most of the limitations that human beings have in life are self-imposed. Such as, you just said — I don\u2019t mean this to be a criticism, I\u2019m just trying to give you an illustration — you say you want to go to Washington but you got your dog is a problem okay.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: No, no, no. I was just using it as an example, but —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, but still, there\u2019s some people that grow up in a town, and they don\u2019t want to leave that town. Well, that town may not have all the opportunity that they want, but they\u2019re making a decision they don\u2019t want to move, don\u2019t want to leave family. That is a self-imposed limitation. That\u2019s not the society\u2019s fault. It\u2019s not the government\u2019s fault. It\u2019s not the president\u2019s fault. It\u2019s not anybody else\u2019s fault that the opportunity might not be realized. People do this constantly. Your horizons are far broader than you know, and you\u2019re being — and I understand why you\u2019re consumed here with the problems that you\u2019re immersed in at the moment, but there are countless millions of people in your circumstance, and the way people get through this is to accept the responsibility of their circumstances and do what they can, and everybody needs help, and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll find it, if you engage in positive steps designed to — as you\u2019re doing with your schoolwork and everything else. There was something else that you said. You ‘could have gone to the dirty place, the bad place.\u2019<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Oh, right, I was stumbling for words. I was searching for words.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know what you meant. I know exactly what you mean. But you didn\u2019t! That\u2019s a positive.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Yeah, I know I kind of did that on my own, too. I didn\u2019t have any direction. I just did it myself, and I had honors and AP classes all throughout high school and we were based on 5.0 GPA, and I had 4.67 or something like that.<\/p>\n

RUSH. Okay. Well, here\u2019s another thing: ‘I need to be able to know that I\u2019m going to grow in a world and able to trust that person,\u2019 meaning the president. ‘I need to be able to know I\u2019m going to grow that world that\u2019s not going to be full of hate and prejudice and racism and to know that I matter, that I wasn\u2019t just dumped in this world for no particular reason whatsoever.\u2019 Now, that\u2019s what really caught me. In the first place, you were not dumped in the world for no particular reason. You have every legitimate reason to be here, as does anybody else. You weren\u2019t dumped. There is no mystery why you\u2019re here. Those of us who have life, it\u2019s a God-given gift, and we only get one, and it is to be maximized and enjoyed and however you choose to pursue it: hard work, combined with pleasure, but this business about when I saw that you mentioned ‘a world full of hate and prejudice and racism and so forth…\u2019 <\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: It\u2019s really unfortunate. It\u2019s just unfortunate. I know that that\u2019s the world that we live in, and that\u2019s what\u2019s going on right now. It\u2019s just really unfortunate.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it always has, though. There\u2019s always going to be racism. There\u2019s always going to be prejudice. There\u2019s always going to be bad guys. There are always going to be enemies. There are always going to be reprobates.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: There\u2019s always going to be war, too, and I understand the reason for war. I actually enjoyed Machiavelli, The Prince, very much so, and I really appreciate his philosophies, and that\u2019s what a lot of people use when they engage in war and the aftermath of it, and I respect war, and I understand why there is a need for it, and I understand why there\u2019s a need to push for democracy, and I understand the gap that occurred and happened — the widening gap I should say — with discrimination and so forth. It\u2019s all very interesting.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But it\u2019s not. See, there is no widening gap of discrimination. It\u2019s getting better. See, your historical perspective as with most people, most people began the day you were born. You\u2019re 22 years old. You\u2019re going to have to really study because history education is pretty inept in this country, particularly in high school, but the discrimination that existed in this country in the forties and fifties, even before, is far, far worse. So much progress has been made in all this! Racism is far less than it was. Prejudice —<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Maybe it\u2019s because of the multicultural theory class I\u2019m taking right now. (laughs) I think —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019re exactly right. You are. Way to go. The multicultural curricula is designed to get you feeling full of chaos and —<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — tumult over the unfairness and the injustice of the country, because the teachers — the people that believe in it — want that exact thing to happen in your mind.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: I hope my professor is not listening to this, but I\u2019ve always… This is how I feel. She says, ‘Think outside the box.\u2019 However, it\u2019s ‘thinking outside the box\u2019 on her terms, on her perspective, and the books that we\u2019re reading that we\u2019re engaged in, it\u2019s just full of, as you say, chaos, and it\u2019s just full of all these, you know, ‘This happened and this happened! Oh, God,\u2019 and it\u2019s just like, ‘Okay, we\u2019ve addressed that. Why don\u2019t we start establishing legislation or whatever else, the Senate, to start working or progress or why don\u2019t we go ahead and state what the progress has been since we\u2019re just such a screwed-up nation back in the forties and fifties?\u2019 I just don\u2019t understand the literature that we\u2019ve been reading, and it\u2019s just been frustrating — and I\u2019m not the only one who feels that way in my class and it\u2019s just been really different.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you are warming my heart.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: (Laughing.) And again —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You are. Now, wait, wait, wait. I have to take a commercial break. Can you hang on a couple of minutes?<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: All right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Don\u2019t go away, we\u2019ll be back, Jenny Ballantine from Durham, New Hampshire, who asked a question of John Edwards on Monday night at one of the town meetings.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019re back now with Jenny Ballantine from Durham, New Hampshire. She\u2019s a student, a poli-sci student with a three-point-plus GPA at the University of New Hampshire. Jenny, I know that you want to make it plain here to people you\u2019re not an Edwards supporter, right?<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: (chuckles) Yeah, I just went to the campaign just to hear what he had to say, just to experience what he was saying. I wanted to know what each presidential candidate regardless if they\u2019re Republican or Democrat, have to say just so I can gather information and hear their standpoint. So it wasn\u2019t so much — I mean he\u2019s a nice guy and so forth. It wasn\u2019t so much that I was there, ‘John Edwards, wooooo!\u2019 It wasn\u2019t anything like that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s fine. The fact that you went to an Edwards event is irrelevant to me. That has nothing to do with why I wanted to talk to you. You could have asked this question of anybody. Whether you end up supporting him or not –if you do, call me back and we\u2019ll talk.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: (laughs)<\/p>\n

RUSH: The reason I wanted to talk to you is because… You said in the previous answer about multiculturalism that you\u2019ve heard enough about what ‘a screw-up nation\u2019 we\u2019ve been, let\u2019s get legislation to fix it and so forth. The United States is not a screw-up nation. The United States is God\u2019s gift to the world. The United States is the greatest nation, the greatest civilization of free people ever to walk the planet. Now, of course we\u2019ve had problems, but we are not inherently racist or bigoted or sexist or homophobic or any of that. We have the finest people in the world.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Something that\u2019s learned, yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, it is something that\u2019s taught to you. It\u2019s something that people have been trying to stuff in your skull full of mush and get you to believe this. There\u2019s a certain cadre, a certain group of people that want you distrusting your own country. They want you suspecting it. You have more opportunity as a human being here. All you have to do, Jenny, is find out what it is you love, and 22 is not too old for that. You\u2019re thinking. I know you\u2019re self-absorbed right now, you\u2019re self-focused, and you\u2019re looking at yourself at 22 and you\u2019re thinking, ‘My gosh, I\u2019m a failure! I\u2019m not going anywhere.\u2019 You haven\u2019t even begun to crack the egg! You\u2019ve barely hatched yet. All you need to do is find out what it is you really love, whatever that is — and don\u2019t let anybody talk you out of it, and when you find out what that is, talk to people who have done it and who have succeeded at it, and let them mentor on you or motivate you. Don\u2019t talk to people that tell you, ‘You can\u2019t do it,\u2019 or, ‘It\u2019s not for you,\u2019 or what have you. You know, learn all this stuff that you\u2019re learning. Keep an open mind, Understand that everybody teaching you something, including every history book, has an agenda, and don\u2019t think that you\u2019re an idiot. Don\u2019t think that you\u2019re not bright. You\u2019re capable of learning anything! Whatever you do, don\u2019t run around and think that what you think is wrong, or what you think is incorrect. Don\u2019t put yourself constantly on defense in dealing with teachers or dealing with other people or other students. You know, and finding your passion, and doing what you love is what\u2019s going to give you the confidence necessary to overcome whatever obstacles that you find yourself mired in now, and, believe me, I know that you\u2019re going to think this is insensitive, but they are not that great — and there is no president that\u2019s going to get you out of it. I don\u2019t care who it is.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s no president that\u2019s going to pay off your student loan. There\u2019s no president that\u2019s going to forgive your student loan.<\/p>\n

JENNY BALLANTINE: Yeah. It\u2019s interesting how Edwards, he was claiming his universal policy of education and so forth, but it\u2019s also — it doesn\u2019t seem impossible, but, you know, it\u2019s along those lines.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jenny, if you hang around and wait for a president or any politician to do anything for you, you\u2019re going to be waiting when they bury you. It\u2019s up to you. Not that they don\u2019t do valuable things. Look, I have to run. I appreciate it. I want to talk to you again but I\u2019ve got my back up here against the wall on time. I\u2019m going to make you a comp subscriber to The Limbaugh Letter. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
