RUSH: Jeremy in Bryant, Arkansas. Welcome, sir. I\u2019m so glad you waited. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s an honor to talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: First-time caller. I\u2019ll make it quick. I\u2019ve got two points. Uh… A little nervous here. The first one, I just want to say, you know, that I\u2019m a young conservative. I\u2019m 30 years old. You\u2019ve been truly an inspiration. You\u2019ve really opened my mind. I\u2019ve been listening to you for about five years now and I just want to say: You informed me; that way I can inform my family. My whole family starting to listen to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So I just want to tell you that and another point. I was interested in reading some of your books. I just wanted to see if you had a recommendation on the one I should start with.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Well, I haven\u2019t written a political book since 1993. I forget. My two books are The Way Things Ought to Be and See, I Told You So — and they\u2019re still out there. The See, I Told You So book sold 2.2 million copies in its first year. The follow-up is See, I Told You So. That sold two million copies in eight weeks. And I had somebody tell me the other day they just reread or read for the first time The Way Things Ought to Be, and they said it\u2019s remarkably relevant to today.<\/p>\n

The reason is because it\u2019s about conservative principles. It\u2019s about conservative principles that were applied to things happening in \u201990, \u201992, \u201993, which would be the Clinton administration and the campaign and so forth and what the left was doing then. But it is applicable today because conservative principles are what they are — and, if you hold fast to them, they don\u2019t change. I am consistent on that. That\u2019s what I\u2019d say, if you can find \u2019em. If I had a couple copies laying around here I\u2019d send them to you, but I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, it\u2019s no problem.<\/p>\n

RUSH: About your family. You know, it\u2019s one thing to be able to… Look, I just saw five seconds. Can you hang on just a few more minutes? Just one thank-you I want to send your way. Can you wait for a minute?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Yes, no problem.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Good. Be right back here.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to Jeremy in Bryant, Arkansas. Jeremy, what I wanted to tell you is it\u2019s really great that you are able to persuade your family. It\u2019s one thing to be a political agnostic or a leftist or whatever and then come to conservatism, understand it, believe it. But it\u2019s quite another thing to be able to take what you\u2019ve learned and explain it to other people and persuade them, and you… You said that you have been able to move some members of your family over to your way of thinking?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mostly all of them. I was raised thinking I was a Democrat.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s big. I don\u2019t think you know… I don\u2019t think you know how big that is. A lot of people can\u2019t do that. A lot of people, they freeze trying to explain it because their minds they\u2019ve got so much information they want to pass off that they have brain freezes. You\u2019re able to do that. That\u2019s an achievement. You should feel very proud of yourself being able to do that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. It\u2019s taken a little time. But, you know, we were all raised thinking we were Democrats and I kind of wanted to point this out \u2019cause it\u2019s relevant to what you were mentioning. But as soon as I started listening to you — like I said, when I was about 24, 25 — you really opened my mind and I learned a lot of inside politics. You know, the deep state and all that stuff, the shady stuff that goes around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Republicans is the only party that seems to have common sense. Once I learned and just started listening to you I could come to my family with facts and they were like, “Wow! Really? Really?” \u2019cause they only watched the mainstream media. I told them, “You gotta watch both sides.” You know, I told them to watch Fox; they\u2019re probably the most honest. But, like I said, you know, I\u2019ve changed a lot of votes to Republican in my family. So, you know, it\u2019s a good thing, and I believe the country is being saved right now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, congratulations. I\u2019m not exaggerating here. There are highly intellectual conservatives who\u2019ve been at it their whole lives who cannot explain it and be persuasive. They can\u2019t sell it, and that\u2019s why not a lot of them try. If you\u2019re able to do that, it means that it\u2019s in your heart that you can explain it. And you said it: It\u2019s just common sense.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It is stunning to me how many people are absent common sense, for whatever reasons. You don\u2019t need to go to school for common sense. You need to go to school for knowledge. But not common sense, intuition. You need, you know, great role models and parents to teach you right and wrong and morality. All human beings need that. But common sense? That\u2019s instinct. Common sense is that little voice in your head that\u2019s always talking to you.<\/p>\n

It says, “Don\u2019t do it, don\u2019t do it, don\u2019t do it.” A lot of people don\u2019t listen to the voice, but it\u2019s always there. Some people think it\u2019s a voice of God. Others think that it\u2019s their conscience or whatever. But it\u2019s always there. And, if you\u2019re able to get in touch with it — and I think you are — and able to persuade other people in your family, that\u2019s really, really big. Congratulations. I\u2019m so glad you called to tell me that. That\u2019s Jeremy in Arkansas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
