Don\u2019t say Mark Halperin to me, Snerdley.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hi, Emily. She\u2019s from Newburgh, New York. How are you, Emily?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m good. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Very good, thanks.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: First of all, I have a question. So I hear you\u2019re 99.8% right most or all of the time.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Documented to be almost always right 99.6%, yes.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh, point-six, okay. I was wondering, so lately I\u2019ve been talking to people and my friends and stuff, and it seems like they all are just so ignorant as to matters going on and issues, and I\u2019ve also come to notice that people who are ignorant at a young age and stuff they usually end up voting Democratically, and since you\u2019re able to convince people so well I was wondering if you had any advice for me.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, the best way to convince anybody of anything is to believe in it yourself, and to be able to explain it and then be passionate about it. Really, there\u2019s nothing like confidence. Confidence will make you a leader. Confidence will make you persuasive, and confidence will create admiration for you. It will also make people jealous of you, by the way. It creates all kinds of reactions in people. But the best way to persuade somebody of something is to really believe it. They\u2019ll probably ask you, &#8220;Well, how do you know, Emily, how do you know?&#8221; And then you can tell \u2019em how you know, and you could say there\u2019s one word here to really help you, it\u2019s called &#8220;read,&#8221; and then you point \u2019em to places to go, where you\u2019ve learned it if they don\u2019t want to believe you. Tell them to listen to this program under the cover of darkness, you know, in the closet or something where nobody will know. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But you\u2019re talking about a 13 year old, you\u2019re special. If you\u2019re up to speed on this stuff and if you have a very deep rooted interest in it, you\u2019re quite unique. Most 13 years old really don\u2019t care about any of this yet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twoifbytea.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright\"\/><\/a>CALLER: Exactly. And then I was also wondering, so I hear you have some new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twoifbytea.com\/\">Two If By Tea,<\/a> and I was wondering, I actually am on a road trip right now, I don\u2019t live in Newburgh but that\u2019s where we just went through. I live in Ohio and I was wondering if you had any stores that were going to sell it?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We\u2019ve not gone the distributor or retail market yet for a very simple reason. And that is we want to control our own distribution. I remember when my first book came out I\u2019d go to the bookstore and find it in the fiction section, turned upside down or the cooking section, and we don\u2019t want the same thing happening with the tea. We want to be able to control our own distribution, so it\u2019s not in retail stores, but I\u2019ll tell you what I\u2019ll do. If you hang on here after we finish talking, which will be in mere seconds &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; if you give Mr. Snerdley your address I\u2019ll ship you some overnight. We\u2019ve got regular, diet, and with sugar. It\u2019s not fructose corn syrup. We\u2019ve got raspberry, regular and diet. Which would you want?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You got a favorite?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I do, but if I announce a favorite I\u2019m gonna create a run on it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you what I\u2019ll do, do you like diet or regular? That\u2019s the first thing I have to know.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I like regular.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. I\u2019m gonna send you a case of regular and a case of raspberry.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We\u2019ll send you two cases. We\u2019re having meetings later this week on the new flavor. I gotta start taste-testing the new flavors that we\u2019re thinking of expanding here. So don\u2019t go anywhere, Emily, and we\u2019ll send you some. Snerdley, pick up the phone there for her before she gets away. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Snerdley, did you get Emily\u2019s address and all that? Good. Still talking to her, okay, good. You know, she\u2019s 13, and she\u2019s really into this stuff. Most people I have found don\u2019t start thinking for themselves until they\u2019re 40, about anything, and oftentimes by then it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Emily, 13 years old.
