RUSH: Northport, New York. This is Billy. Thank you for calling, sir. Great to have you with us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Great to be here. Mega dittos, Rush.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Rush, last Thursday was a God-awful day in New York with traffic, but I want to tell you something. You made it worthwhile. There was a young girl that called in from Ohio<\/a>, she was home sick, she attended a parochial school that she said was liberal, and she had a project to do on immigration. And your dissertation, that went on for quite some time, was absolutely beautiful, logical, factual. And the cadence of your answer to that young woman actually — and I kid you not — made me cry traveling south on the Taconic during the snowstorm. It was beautiful, Rush, absolutely beautiful.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, thank you, Billy. I have had an incredible amount of reaction to that call. I\u2019ve had more reaction to that call than any call in years, I think. And I\u2019m very appreciative. I thank you so much for your analysis of it and your comments. But even though I think that I know all of you intimately, I am still nevertheless at times stunned and surprised at the things that make a huge impression.<\/p>\n

What he\u2019s talking about, there was a young girl, I think she was 13, and she was calling from Ohio, and she had a school project the next day, and she had to submit a presentation on should immigration to the United States be hard? And I gave her basically an explanation of why I think it is and should be. We\u2019re talking about legal immigration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I was thinking the whole time, \u201cYou better shorten this up. You\u2019re getting a little bit verbose here and going on a little long.\u201d But I basically just used this opportunity, this occasion to give a lesson on immigration itself and America and why America\u2019s special and why America is unique and why America thus is great and exceptional, and that\u2019s why it should be hard to become a citizen. That we need to determine people who want to come here and become citizens, we better determine whether they\u2019re gonna be good ones or not. That\u2019s a responsibility we have to everybody else who lives here. It\u2019s a responsibility all Americans have to preserve their country.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have kids of my own. I\u2019ve got nieces and nephews. When they ask me stuff like that, that\u2019s how I answer it. That\u2019s how we were talked to when I was growing up. As kids, this kind of stuff was discussed frequently in our house. I thought all homes were like that, and I came to learn that they\u2019re not, obviously. But, to me, it was just an opportunity. Here\u2019s a young 13-year-old person who wants to know about immigration. And I thought I\u2019d just expand on it and talk about America.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m overwhelmed and flattered how it was received, and I appreciate your comments, exceptionally so. I\u2019ll tell you what, Koko, post this back up there at the top of the website today and headline it in such a way as “by popular demand,” or some such thing \u2019cause I\u2019m not kidding.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to this call, I mean, I had people coming up to me on the driving range Saturday, who never talk to me about what happens on this show, talking about that. So it\u2019s really gratifying. I thank all of you.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: That young caller\u2019s name was Delia and she was calling from Charlottesville<\/a>, Ohio, on Thursday. She\u2019s the one who wanted to know if it should be hard to become a citizen via immigration, should it be easy. And I told her why I think it should be hard, should take time, should take study. Also, we got a caller up here who thinks that Trump is being a genius endorsing Pelosi for speaker<\/a>. Lots of other stuff on the other side. So hang on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
