Welcome, Dan, to the program. I\u2019m glad you called. I cannot imagine the frustration that you are experiencing and have been since Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-297155\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012119-EIB-Callers-MALE.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012119-EIB-Callers-MALE.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012119-EIB-Callers-MALE-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, thank you, Rush. I greatly appreciate it. I just want to thank you in advance. I don\u2019t know how you\u2019ve done this all your life &#8212; I mean, really &#8212; put up with all this BS. I mean, it\u2019s&#8230; My hat\u2019s off to you, sir. I\u2019m greatly appreciate it. And then just one little correction, Rush. The school itself stood behind the boys. It was&#8230; It\u2019s the diocesan administration who came out with the statement of the apology. So it was not the school. I hate to say it, but the principal, faculty, staff of members and some of the students, their pictures have been posted, you know, out there, and (chuckles) there\u2019s hateful stuff going after the (crosstalk).<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, wait a minute. Who&#8230;? If it wasn\u2019t the school, who did condemn them and who threatened to expel them?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That was&#8230; I believe that was on the administration of the diocese.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, okay. It was the diocese, not the school.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, the school is&#8230; Yeah, the school stood right behind \u2019em. I have two nephews &#8212; one who teaches there, one who goes there &#8212; and then my son goes there. They were there present when that happened. And, you know, of course us parents were scared to death, like, &#8220;What\u2019s going on? What\u2019s going on?&#8221; But when we found out, it all came to light. And because of people like you bringing the truth to the light. You know, the only thing I can think of, Rush, when you say, &#8220;How do people think like this?&#8221; and whatever, is I have a strong belief &#8212; and this is one of the reasons I love Covington Catholic, the high school. Those who do not have faith lose their ability to reason. So that\u2019s the best way I can sum that up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-297159\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012119-Rush-Flag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012119-Rush-Flag.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012119-Rush-Flag-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, I&#8230; Look, Dan, I completely, 100% agree. There\u2019s another way of saying it. People who do not have God in their lives are, essentially, empty and have no foundational element here of morality or right and wrong. I want to say something. I\u2019ve got limited time here before you go, and I meant this when I said a moment ago that from what I\u2019ve seen on video&#8230; I don\u2019t know which one was your son, but the kids that I have seen were models of decorum.<\/p>\n<p>They handled the situation as well-raised children should have. Their actions took the temperature down. They were not confrontational. They were not rude. They were not provocative. They were not profane. They were not disrespectful, and to me&#8230; They\u2019re teenagers. They\u2019re kids. To me, that is a sign that they have been raised well, that you have been exceptional parents &#8212; and it\u2019s more of which this country needs as are the kids that we\u2019ve seen in that video. We need more people of that stature and that belief, that kind of character.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where the solution to our country\u2019s problems resolves. So congratulations.<\/p>\n<p>You, ultimately, should feel very proud amidst all the frustration here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I don&#039;t know which one was your son, but the kids that I have seen were models of decorum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":297155,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
