WEBVTT - EIB Network Helps Julie Live Her Dream 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.840 Julie in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Welcome to the E I 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:05.000 B Network. Great to have you with us. Hello, how 0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:08.039 are you fine? Thank you? I just wanted to tell 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:10.800 you a funny story. Um in two. I've listened to 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:13.640 you since two thousands and in two thousand four, I 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:15.920 decided to go back to college after being out of 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:19.360 high school for ten years. UM much because of what 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.800 I've heard on your show about how you can do anything, 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:25.320 you should do anything, you should not be okay with mediocre, 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:27.520 et cetera, et cetera. You're the only one that's ever 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.280 put that idea in my head? Is that right? Your 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:34.560 whole life it's been yeah, it's been next life. But yes, 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:36.560 that's correct, And it was drilled in my head over 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:39.280 and over again from listening to your show. You know, 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:41.600 go out and do it, just do it, you know, 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.080 make something better of yourself. You have opportunity. So I 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.159 went back to school in two thousand four, and I 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.320 had a professor who had a master's working on his 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.960 second master's, who was so book smart, you know, thought 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.040 he knew everything. And he would bring up arguments in 0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:01.920 class over the economy and then laws, different things. And 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.520 I am telling you what. The only thing I've done 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.959 since high school was work. And then I started listening 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.679 to your show. I could go toe to toe with 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.600 that guy and argue with him about anything and make 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.399 him look stupid in front of the class just by 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:19.040 listening to your show. Did he know that he looked stupid? 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.080 Or did he give you a problem? Did you think 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:25.920 you're being insolent and disrespectful? He no, he was baffled. 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.800 He looked at my profile and he said, Now, you've 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.440 been at a school ten years, He said, you won't. 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.480 This is your first year. He said, how in the 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:35.480 world do you know all this stuff? And I said, 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.240 I'm gonna be honest. I said, all I listen to Rush. 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.880 Oh no, I knew that was coming in. Then he 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.800 said he said no, he said that's just hate speech. 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.840 And I said, no, no, it's not. And I said, 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.880 you know what, I didn't even know how and informed 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.120 and smart I was till I had got into class. 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.600 And I said, and realizing everything I've heard from that show, 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.960 how informed and smart and capable I really am. And 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.800 I said, you know, I couldn't believe it, you know, 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.919 And he said, well, doesn't he just talk bad about people? 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.280 Doesn't he just make fun of Democrats And I said, no, 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.480 it's actually very educational, and he said, well, I just 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.000 I just can't believe it. So I said, we'll give 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.480 it a listen sometime and he ended up listening. And 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.920 he doesn't listen every day because of classes, but he 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.000 ended up listening and said he rather enjoys the show, 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.880 even if I hope he's I hope he was listening today. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.519 Was your college in Oklahoma City? Yes it is. Yeah, Julie, 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.360 I have to run because of the time, but that well, no, 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.519 in fact, hang on, I need to ask you a 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.280 couple more things, or at least do a couple more 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.480 hang on through the break. Now back to Julian, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Julie, 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.200 You're You're. I couldn't let you go without thanking you 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:50.040 from the bottom of my sizeable beating heart. Thank you 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.320 for opening up my eyes, because really there was no 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.400 one else around to do it. And the only reason 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.239 I started listening to you was the election of two thousands. 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.200 I just felt I cann't believe what I was seeing 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.480 on ABC NBC, and I said, what would Rush Limbaugh 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.880 have to say about this? Let's get a different point 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.400 of view. And ever since then I've been listening. It 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:15.440 sounds almost like divine intervention, right, what would Rush do? Yeah, well, 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.120 no matter all people you can think of. Uh, and 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:22.200 you haven't listened before. My sister has listened since you, 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.600 since you had your TV program. Yeah, she's listened, and 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.280 she's always talked about you. And I almost felt guilty 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:34.000 listening to you, but because I thought all right, I said, well, 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.320 my sister would love this. I think she would love this. 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:41.120 You know, one thing I have to ask you, because 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:46.200 this is that you said earlier in your call, that 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:51.920 nobody in your life had ever spoken to you about 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:56.080 the positive aspects of you, the potential that you, as 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.200 an American citizen have, that you can be better than 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.200 you think you are are, you can do more than 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.720 you think you can. Nobody ever talked to you that 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.680 way at any time in your life. Let me tell 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.240 you why. Because when I was seventeen and when I 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.760 was eighteen, I had a baby, so everyone said, well, 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.680 just go get a job, just go pay your bills, 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.080 just make it the best you can. You know, because 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.159 I had a baby at a young age, people were thinking, well, 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:20.920 you know, you just would be doing good to be 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:25.719 making more than even before that. I just I sometimes 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.680 I make the mistake because I had a very normal 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.360 childhood and I had I had, you know, this typical 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:36.800 middle class Middle America upraising, upbringing, and and uh it 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.279 was it was via my my whole family that that 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.280 I first and I didn't put it in these words, 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:45.040 but that's where I first became cognizant and aware of 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.680 what I now call American exceptionalism. And my dad and 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.080 my SM teachers were constantly pushing me to do better 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.360 than I was doing because they all knew that I could. 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.760 But you know, I was not interested in what they 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.320 wanted me to do well in at time. But still 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:07.159 the concept that there's a great land of opportunity out there, uh, 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.800 and all you have to go to do, all I 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.359 have to do is is is go attack. It was 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.719 not something foreign to me, and so it's why I'm 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.520 I'm I'm one of the few members of my family 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.400 left home. I mean I left home when I was 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:21.160 twenty uh and you know, struck out on just following 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.640 my dream. And I've told the story countless thousands of times. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.560 What what I'm amazed at is that And I wonder 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:32.040 how commonness is that up until the time you had 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.960 your baby when you were seventeen, that the whole concept 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.719 that there's greatness for you out there, that you are 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.360 a special person, that you're better than average, that all 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.400 it takes is a little hard work, that there's far 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.400 more out there than what you think. It was something 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.800 that never occurred to you or was never talked to you. Well, no, 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.960 it was because I wanted to be a police officer. 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.239 I wanted to be an FBI agent. And everyone that said, oh, Julie, 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.680 you know you can't do that. You could never do that. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.200 That's man's work, you know, just put that idea out 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.640 of your head. And so I would start to think, well, 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:08.480 maybe I you know, maybe I can't. And that's where 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:12.000 really see, that's that's distressing to hear, because I think 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:16.520 there's probably a lot of that out there in general. Now, 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.840 you can't do that. I mean, I've I've been told 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.760 that too. I was not told that by my family, 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.360 but I've been told that by people that fired me. 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.039 I've I've been told that by by friends when I 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:28.800 told him what I wanted to do, I can't. I mean, 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.400 we all hear it's easy to be negative. You know, 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.919 you'll you'll never go to the library and find a 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.320 book on how to fail, because we all do it 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.120 and it doesn't take any special insight. But these people 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.200 that write books on how to succeed and how to 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:46.279 think positively make millions because it's something that doesn't occur naturally, 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.560 apparently even in this country where I think it ought 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.840 to be occurring. But then you look at the political 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.920 drivel that suffices as new as most of the day 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.599 for most people, and the country sucks. It's going to 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.000 hell in a hand basket. In fact, there's a shortage 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:03.680 of hand baskets because the economy is doing so pat poorly. Uh, bushes, lying, 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.200 people are dying, all the things. That's a constant negative drumbeat. 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.360 Um that is by the Democratic Party, echoed by the media. 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.520 So I'm not surprised that that stuff is easy to 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:18.440 be caught up in. But uh, what did your parents do? What? 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.960 What did your dad do? Um? He was an accountant, 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.440 he was an account Well that's not hard, I mean 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.280 it's not I mean that's not easy, and that that's 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.520 that's that requires a lot of hard work and a 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.760 specific talent. Uh maybe it was he wasn't around, so 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.400 it was just my mother. So I guess the idea 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.080 of her having a pope daughter who wanted to be 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.160 a police officer or FBI agent or whatever was just 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:46.800 far fetched. Just no, not my daughter. You know, don't 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.760 you want to be a hairdresser or a waitress, a secretary, 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.560 you know? And I said no, I would, you know, 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:54.280 this is what I want to do. And then came 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.640 into the whole, Well, you've got a baby now, so 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.000 you know you're going to do good just to make it. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.440 And I believe that for so many years I'm doing 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.480 good just to make it. And I thought, wait a minute, 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.440 I can do way more than that. Well you know 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:12.480 that that that it takes all kinds I and the not. 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.080 Not everybody is is going to reach their potential, and 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.280 not everybody is going to tap their full ambition. It 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.000 just doesn't for a lot of reasons, some of them 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:23.240 you just mentioned um and other people will settle. I 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:27.280 mean you had had you not happened upon this program, 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.080 probably because what your mother had said enough times, you 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.000 would have just said, Okay, this is this is my 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:33.360 lot in life, and you would have tried to make 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.040 the most of it and be happy. Uh, and so forth. 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:41.240 And I think that probably happens more often than not. 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.840 But yet somehow you swerved and stumbled into this program. 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.880 And now you've gone back to college ten years after 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:52.600 you got it. When did you start college again? Two 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.600 thousand four? And this professor, this professor of yours and 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.600 of two thousand four. I had been on the air 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:02.160 sixteen years, and this guy had no clue what actually 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.000 happened on this program. Even though you don't need a 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.840 secret radio or password to listen to it, Well, I 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.360 gotta just turn on. And here's a guy teaching college 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.640 had no clue. He just believed it was all hate speech, 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:15.040 bashing Democrats every day and so forth. Uh. And you 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.120 were able to educate him. How did that make you feel? 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.199 I mean, I'm telling you what. It was not until 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.440 I walked in that class and he would start lecturing 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.320 on certain things, and I could argue with him and 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.080 I could make him look really dumb. But I was like, whoa, 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.720 you know, I haven't just been listening, I've been learning. 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.520 I mean it was I mean, it just made me 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.040 feel wonderful. And he was one of those guys that 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.640 he believes everything he sees on TV. Well, you know, 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.439 Dan Rather said it, it must be true. If the 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.319 book says, we must be true. He never questioned anything. 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.440 He was so institutionalized. R and so this is what 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.040 the book says, this is what it is. He never 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.800 questioned anything. And you know, that's one thing I've got 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.400 from your program. Don't just listen you got a question, 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:57.080 go out, explore, get knowledge. Learned to read the stitches 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.040 on the fastball exactly. And that's what I've do And 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.000 I just didn't, Like I said, I was just amazed 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:04.600 that I could go up against the guy who had 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.880 a master's for crying out loud. I don't see that. Yeah, 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.560 that's another thing to learn you and you said at 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.439 the beginning of the phone call there are there are 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:16.840 countless book smart people who have lots of education, but 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.600 it doesn't mean they have a lot of knowledge. And yeah, 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.199 and so I mean it was just a little bit surreal, 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.000 you know, not surreal.

I'm gonna add a 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:41.760 couple of things to the surprise package and recall this 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.559 mean I'm just gonna give her the house. I'm gonna 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.800 throw in a select comfort bed. Let her choose what 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.720 country wants. Uh and a rush pack from Alan Brothers. 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.320 So Hr get her back on the phone after the 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.880 program and uh, well, we gotta to organize all that 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.280 we have.

That's 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.400 all they do is handle of freebees in the giveaways. 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.080 Most of them we never talked about because we're not 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.000 into this for that reason. But that I just I 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:13.480 am so impressed that after ten years, when she went 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.000 back to school, it was to follow her original passion 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.360 and want to be in law enforcement. And that nobody 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.439 was able ultimately to talk her out of it because 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.080 she couldn't do it. That that that makes our day here. 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.440 Even Snardili is smiling first time today. He's forgotten about 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:29.280 the Folly story.
