RUSH: Verona, California, Nick, it’s great to have you with us, sir. Hello.

CALLER: Hello, Rush. I want to say it’s a great honor to speak with you today.

RUSH: Thank you.

CALLER: I’ve been listening to you for seven years now, and I just want to let you know two things. One, congratulations on raising all the money for the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. It’s excellent what you’ve done there, and I do agree with you 100% that it shows the reason why so many people are interested in this. Because it does show an abuse of power, and somebody is actually able to harness that or show, you know, the abuse of power there, and kind of turn it around and do something good with it. I want to thank you for that — and, two, I just want to let you know that I’m shipping off to basic training in a few days, and you’re one of my inspirations. You kind of helped me to realize there’s a — I don’t want to say there’s more in life, but answer the calling. I want to say you’ve done a great job for the troops over the years, and I think you’re a great American.

RUSH: Well, thank you very much.
