<\/p>\nRUSH: Here is John in Rochester, New York. Great that you called. Glad you waited, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hello, Rush. It\u2019s an honor and a pleasure to speak with you. I\u2019m gonna get right to the point. It seems to me that you\u2019re about to end the last show of your 30th year and nothing has been said about it yet. So I want to be the one who congratulates you and thanks you on behalf legions of Dittoheads and our Rush Babies like my children. You have meant so much to me. I\u2019ve listened to you since you started, and I\u2019m nervous and choking up here. But thank you. Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019m kind of — not choking up here, but — scratching my eyes a little bit. I appreciate that. I hear from people throughout the year who say nice things like you have. It never ceases to hit me, affect me very deeply, you know. Thirty years, some of it seems like I can just imagine some of those days 30 years yesterday. Some of those days 25 years ago are yesterday. Others it does seem like 30 years. On balance it doesn\u2019t, though. On balance it doesn\u2019t seem like anywhere near 30 years. I think it\u2019s because my attitude hasn\u2019t changed in 30 years.<\/p>\n
CALLER: That\u2019s absolutely right. Even when I… There have been times I haven\u2019t been able to listen to you because of work schedules. When the opportunity came back to listen to you again, I always found you, as I used to say, right where I left you. You are that consistent.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, you are very perceptive. I think you typify, you exemplify the exact way I imagine everybody in this audience. I think everybody listening here is involved and intelligent and aware, and thinks and shares a similar value system or value base. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so meaningful. This is why I understand the bond that Trump\u2019s supporters have with him, is because I have it, too, with all of you who listen to this program — and nobody\u2019s been able to break the bond.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Really all of you and your loyalty over the years is what made me so confident analyzing Trump\u2019s supporters and their relationship to him. But I think one of the reasons why the show — no two shows are alike here. But when I say “attitude,” I never take anything for granted. I show up here thinking that as much time as you all have spent investing in listening and try to make time for it, that you deserve not having this show phoned in or performed in a lackadaisical way.<\/p>\n
So what I mean by it is that I show up here like it\u2019s the first day in 30 years every day, and I have to prove it each and every day. That\u2019s just me and the way I was raised. But I appreciate it more than… I thank you very, very much, and I guarantee you my feelings for all of you are identical. I\u2019ve run out of time here, though. So we\u2019ll have to take a break. Thank you again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
