EIB Network Helps Julie Live Her Dream

et cetera, et cetera. You're the only one that's ever put that idea in my head? Is that right? Your whole life it's been yeah, it's been next life. But yes, that's correct, And it was drilled in my head over and over again from listening to your show. You know, go out and do it, just do it, you know,

make something better of yourself. You have opportunity. So I went back to school in two thousand four, and I had a professor who had a master's working on his second master's, who was so book smart, you know, thought he knew everything. And he would bring up arguments in class over the economy and then laws, different things. And I am telling you what. The only thing I've done since high school was work. And then I started listening

to your show. I could go toe to toe with that guy and argue with him about anything and make him look stupid in front of the class just by listening to your show. Did he know that he looked stupid? Or did he give you a problem? Did you think you're being insolent and disrespectful? He no, he was baffled. He looked at my profile and he said, Now, you've been at a school ten years, He said, you won't. This is your first year. He said, how in the world do you know all this stuff? And I said,

I'm gonna be honest. I said, all I listen to Rush. Oh no, I knew that was coming in. Then he said he said no, he said that's just hate speech. And I said, no, no, it's not. And I said, you know what, I didn't even know how and informed and smart I was till I had got into class. And I said, and realizing everything I've heard from that show,

how informed and smart and capable I really am. And I said, you know, I couldn't believe it, you know, And he said, well, doesn't he just talk bad about people? Doesn't he just make fun of Democrats And I said, no, it's actually very educational, and he said, well, I just I just can't believe it. So I said, we'll give

it a listen sometime and he ended up listening. And he doesn't listen every day because of classes, but he ended up listening and said he rather enjoys the show, even if I hope he's I hope he was listening today. Was your college in Oklahoma City? Yes it is. Yeah, Julie, I have to run because of the time, but that well, no, in fact, hang on, I need to ask you a couple more things, or at least do a couple more hang on through the break. Now back to Julian, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Julie,

You're You're. I couldn't let you go without thanking you from the bottom of my sizeable beating heart. Thank you for opening up my eyes, because really there was no one else around to do it. And the only reason I started listening to you was the election of two thousands. I just felt I cann't believe what I was seeing on ABC NBC, and I said, what would Rush Limbaugh have to say about this? Let's get a different point of view. And ever since then I've been listening. It

sounds almost like divine intervention, right, what would Rush do? Yeah, well, no matter all people you can think of. Uh, and you haven't listened before. My sister has listened since you, since you had your TV program. Yeah, she's listened, and she's always talked about you. And I almost felt guilty listening to you, but because I thought all right, I said, well, my sister would love this. I think she would love this.

You know, one thing I have to ask you, because this is that you said earlier in your call, that nobody in your life had ever spoken to you about the positive aspects of you, the potential that you, as an American citizen have, that you can be better than you think you are are, you can do more than you think you can. Nobody ever talked to you that way at any time in your life. Let me tell

you why. Because when I was seventeen and when I was eighteen, I had a baby, so everyone said, well, just go get a job, just go pay your bills, just make it the best you can. You know, because I had a baby at a young age, people were thinking, well, you know, you just would be doing good to be

making more than even before that. I just I sometimes I make the mistake because I had a very normal childhood and I had I had, you know, this typical middle class Middle America upraising, upbringing, and and uh it was it was via my my whole family that that I first and I didn't put it in these words, but that's where I first became cognizant and aware of

what I now call American exceptionalism. And my dad and my SM teachers were constantly pushing me to do better than I was doing because they all knew that I could. But you know, I was not interested in what they wanted me to do well in at time. But still the concept that there's a great land of opportunity out there, uh, and all you have to go to do, all I have to do is is is go attack. It was not something foreign to me, and so it's why I'm I'm I'm one of the few members of my family

left home. I mean I left home when I was twenty uh and you know, struck out on just following my dream. And I've told the story countless thousands of times. What what I'm amazed at is that And I wonder how commonness is that up until the time you had your baby when you were seventeen, that the whole concept that there's greatness for you out there, that you are a special person, that you're better than average, that all it takes is a little hard work, that there's far

more out there than what you think. It was something that never occurred to you or was never talked to you. Well, no, it was because I wanted to be a police officer. I wanted to be an FBI agent. And everyone that said, oh, Julie, you know you can't do that. You could never do that. That's man's work, you know, just put that idea out of your head. And so I would start to think, well, maybe I you know, maybe I can't. And that's where really see, that's that's distressing to hear, because I think

there's probably a lot of that out there in general. Now, you can't do that. I mean, I've I've been told that too. I was not told that by my family, but I've been told that by people that fired me. I've I've been told that by by friends when I told him what I wanted to do, I can't. I mean, we all hear it's easy to be negative. You know, you'll you'll never go to the library and find a book on how to fail, because we all do it

and it doesn't take any special insight. But these people that write books on how to succeed and how to think positively make millions because it's something that doesn't occur naturally, apparently even in this country where I think it ought to be occurring. But then you look at the political drivel that suffices as new as most of the day for most people, and the country sucks. It's going to hell in a hand basket. In fact, there's a shortage

of hand baskets because the economy is doing so pat poorly. Uh, bushes, lying, people are dying, all the things. That's a constant negative drumbeat. Um that is by the Democratic Party, echoed by the media. So I'm not surprised that that stuff is easy to be caught up in. But uh, what did your parents do? What?

What did your dad do? Um? He was an accountant, he was an account Well that's not hard, I mean it's not I mean that's not easy, and that that's that's that requires a lot of hard work and a specific talent. Uh maybe it was he wasn't around, so it was just my mother. So I guess the idea of her having a pope daughter who wanted to be a police officer or FBI agent or whatever was just far fetched. Just no, not my daughter. You know, don't you want to be a hairdresser or a waitress, a secretary,

you know? And I said no, I would, you know, this is what I want to do. And then came into the whole, Well, you've got a baby now, so you know you're going to do good just to make it. And I believe that for so many years I'm doing good just to make it. And I thought, wait a minute, I can do way more than that. Well you know that that that it takes all kinds I and the not. Not everybody is is going to reach their potential, and

not everybody is going to tap their full ambition. It just doesn't for a lot of reasons, some of them you just mentioned um and other people will settle. I mean you had had you not happened upon this program, probably because what your mother had said enough times, you would have just said, Okay, this is this is my lot in life, and you would have tried to make the most of it and be happy. Uh, and so forth. And I think that probably happens more often than not.

But yet somehow you swerved and stumbled into this program. And now you've gone back to college ten years after you got it. When did you start college again? Two thousand four? And this professor, this professor of yours and of two thousand four. I had been on the air sixteen years, and this guy had no clue what actually happened on this program. Even though you don't need a secret radio or password to listen to it, Well, I gotta just turn on. And here's a guy teaching college

had no clue. He just believed it was all hate speech, bashing Democrats every day and so forth. Uh. And you were able to educate him. How did that make you feel? I mean, I'm telling you what. It was not until I walked in that class and he would start lecturing on certain things, and I could argue with him and I could make him look really dumb. But I was like, whoa, you know, I haven't just been listening, I've been learning. I mean it was I mean, it just made me

feel wonderful. And he was one of those guys that he believes everything he sees on TV. Well, you know, Dan Rather said it, it must be true. If the book says, we must be true. He never questioned anything. He was so institutionalized. R and so this is what the book says, this is what it is. He never questioned anything. And you know, that's one thing I've got from your program. Don't just listen you got a question, go out, explore, get knowledge. Learned to read the stitches

on the fastball exactly. And that's what I've do And I just didn't, Like I said, I was just amazed that I could go up against the guy who had a master's for crying out loud. I don't see that. Yeah, that's another thing to learn you and you said at the beginning of the phone call there are there are countless book smart people who have lots of education, but it doesn't mean they have a lot of knowledge. And yeah, and so I mean it was just a little bit surreal,

you know, not surreal. But you know what, are you studying police science police or Polly police science police? So you're following your original dream. That's that's fabulous. Yes, I am fabulous And I am almost there too, terrific. Well, damn it, I'm proud of you. Thank you very much. I mean, that's that is just awesome. You you you held onto the dream for ten years and now you're doing it and you're and you're doing it at the

university level. That's that's just great. And I hope and I've made the President's list every semester while I've got two kids, while I'm working full time. That is just incredible. See, you are living proof to anybody and by the see the great thing here, not only what it's doing for you, uh and and the way you feel about yourself and your future, but anybody else who comes in contact with your story. Uh, You're going to influence in a in

a positive way. Uh And and so your life experiences are gonna transfer to others, are gonna make them better because you're gonna make them think it's also possible for them. This is just terrific. You have. You gave me the big push that I needed. Well, I understand that, I understand somebody had to. I'm glad we were there when when you tuned in this propitious moment you happen to be listening. We weren't bashing democrats. Uh. Do you have a computer? Are you are you subscriber to my website?

No I'm not. I'm sorry, Well you are. Now I'm gonna make it compliment, yes, right you because you're one of the you are you are? You will not believe what all is there? You think that you're in formed and educated? Now way will you tap into the resources that are on my website. And I'm also going to throw in a year subscription of the Limbull letter, that's the newsletter, and give you a couple of items from

the E. I. B Store that you can pick out. So, Julie, hang on a nice man who will not ask you the name of your kids. We'll be on the phone to type now. Thank you. You've you've made our day here. You've you've made a big difference to me. So I think, thank you. Thanks Julie. We'll talk to you again soon and be back here in just a second. Julie, don't hang up, stay on hold Hey Julie in Oklahoma City.

I know you're still out there. I'm gonna add a couple of things to the surprise package and recall this mean I'm just gonna give her the house. I'm gonna throw in a select comfort bed. Let her choose what country wants. Uh and a rush pack from Alan Brothers. So Hr get her back on the phone after the program and uh, well, we gotta to organize all that we have. We have people in the prize clause. That's all they do is handle of freebees in the giveaways.

Most of them we never talked about because we're not into this for that reason. But that I just I am so impressed that after ten years, when she went back to school, it was to follow her original passion and want to be in law enforcement. And that nobody was able ultimately to talk her out of it because she couldn't do it. That that that makes our day here. Even Snardili is smiling first time today. He's forgotten about the Folly story.
