RUSH: Here\u2019s Jeff in Minneapolis. Hi, Jeff. Welcome to the program. Great to have you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I\u2019ve been listening to you since \u201993 since my older brother kind of got me hooked on to you, and I know that you are documented to be, is it 98.7 now, I think it went up, percent always right?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right now it\u2019s been documented as almost always right 99.7% of the time.<\/p>\n

CALLER: 99.7. Well, my question is, I\u2019ve been listening to you now, what, 20 years, why is it so low?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it\u2019s not really low. At this level, when you are —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah?<\/p>\n

RUSH: — by virtue of official opinion audits almost always right 99.7% of the time, I have to be right maybe —<\/p>\n

CALLER: A lot.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — I mean 100% right for a year to move it up one-tenth of a point. I mean, when you\u2019re almost always right 50% of the time, then you don\u2019t have to be right very often to move it up.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: But when you\u2019re at the level I\u2019m at, in fact in \u201993, when you said you were listening, I\u2019d have to look it up, but I think it was like 96-point-something back then. That\u2019s how slow the process is.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I used to watch you a lot in college, your TV show, and boy, it was rough there watching you in college on a TV with all the other people around you. But, boy, I\u2019m impressed with that number and I\u2019m surprised that it has not gone up a little bit higher over the years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know it\u2019s hard, but —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I know, and I appreciate this. I myself have — you know, I\u2019ve never said this, but I\u2019ve disputed the Sullivan Group\u2019s audits a couple times. I mean, there have been — see, the problem is it doesn\u2019t matter if I\u2019m really profoundly right when everybody else is wrong. There\u2019s no extra credit for that. Even when I\u2019m the only one who got it, there\u2019s no extra credit for it. And I\u2019ve disputed them I think a couple of times, and they\u2019ve showed me the data. And they\u2019ve been right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
