KEN: Now, we\u2019ve heard from Kathryn<\/a> several times in the last few weeks. Rush and Kathryn did so much for so many people, and you could sense it. You could sense the joy when Rush would give someone a prize or award a winner — or, if they had a contest, he loved having the ability to do that. Here\u2019s a great example, if you remember — and I\u2019m sure you will, if you were a regular listener — when they called the winner of the Two If By Tea sweepstakes. Here it is.<\/p>\n

PHYLLIS: Hello?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Phyllis, hi, Rush Limbaugh here, and my wife Kathryn, and we\u2019re on the phone to tell you that you are it. You\u2019re the big winner, Phyllis, of the Jeep Patriot as part of our Two If By Tea sweepstakes.<\/p>\n

PHYLLIS: You\u2019re kidding me.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: No. This is Kathryn. How are you?<\/p>\n

PHYLLIS: I\u2019m fine. I am delighted to talk to you. My goodness. We won a Jeep! I can\u2019t believe it!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, believe it. It happened. That\u2019s why we\u2019re calling you. We\u2019re so excited. This is one of the biggest sweepstakes that we\u2019ve had, and it\u2019s a beautiful SUV. It\u2019s all yours now.<\/p>\n

PHYLLIS: Oh, my.<\/p>\n

HUSBAND: You\u2019re my hero.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Yes, I\u2019m used to that.<\/p>\n

\"\"PHYLLIS: No, you are our hero.<\/p>\n

HUSBAND: Listen to you every day, every chance I can.<\/p>\n

RUSH: When you entered, did you think you had a chance at winning, or were you just doing it to do it?<\/p>\n

PHYLLIS: You know, I did. I honestly did. I thought to myself, my, wouldn\u2019t this be wonderful, \u2019cause our car\u2019s getting broke down.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Ah, that is —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That is so great. Every winner that we\u2019ve had I\u2019ve asked them that and every winner thought that they were gonna win. This is incredible. You\u2019re keeping the streak alive.<\/p>\n

PHYLLIS: Oh, my gosh. Well, thank you so much. I don\u2019t know what to say. I can\u2019t imagine anything more wonderful.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We really thank you guys because you really help us help the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation by buying the tea and then entering the sweepstakes and everything, and they just do great work, and all of you that help us make this possible are just great. We really do have profound appreciation and love for you. We\u2019re really honored that you\u2019re in the audience, people like you that make the country work and everything. We really are happy to have you join our winners roster here.<\/p>\n

HUSBAND: You come by out here one of these days and let\u2019s go fishing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

HUSBAND: You can\u2019t imagine what a big thrill it is to actually talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, God bless you. God bless you. And thank you again. We\u2019re really thrilled that you are the winners and congratulations again. And don\u2019t forget, now, we\u2019ll be back in touch with you to handle all the logistics of this.<\/p>\n

PHYLLIS: I appreciate it, and thank you so much.<\/p>\n

HUSBAND: Thank you a lot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: Take care, you guys.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Congratulations!<\/p>\n

PHYLLIS: Bye-bye.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Bye-bye.<\/p>\n

KEN: You can tell they love America. You can tell they\u2019re conservatives because there was no negativity. When Rush said, “Did you think you were gonna win?” they said, “You know, I did. I did.” That\u2019s the mark of conservatism. “You think you\u2019re gonna make it?” “Of course. It\u2019s America. Why wouldn\u2019t I?” “You think you got a shot?” I\u2019ve got as good a chance as anybody else.<\/p>\n

Instead of what you hear in the mainstream news media: “There\u2019s no way you\u2019re gonna make it, man, not without the help from the government. Sorry. You\u2019re just not.” “Why not?” “Well, could be any number of things. Skin color, gender. I don\u2019t know. But don\u2019t get your hopes up.”<\/p>\n

Look at the difference. What more do you need to know? I\u2019ll tell you a quick story — and it has to be quick \u2019cause we have a hard break coming up. For years I listened to Rush like you, and I still enjoy hearing Rush. Remember when he would give away the iPhones? He would give \u2019em away like candy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
