You're going to come into a new season of joy and fulfillment like you've never seen. Hi, I'm Joel Osteen. I have a daily podcast where I talk about overcoming obstacles, accomplishing dreams and becoming all you were created to be. You may have had some disappointments in the past, but this is a new day. Defeating your hopes, beating your dreams. Use your energy to feed your destiny. Listen to the Joel Osteen daily podcast on the hard radio app or wherever you get your podcast.

Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast. Well, happy day to you. One week. One week from Christmas. Where did the time go coming up on today's show, on the Rush Limbaugh Show, and I'm thrilled that you're here. Rush is planning on being back Monday. Just a heads up on that. Coming up, an update on the election, there's so much confusion about it, and that's by that's by design, that is by design, the news media needs to keep you as confused as possible on everything from Chinese spies and corrupt congressmen and Joe Biden's wealth.

By the way, I just got a memo here. Hold on a second.

The Biden family wants to remind you, please keep your Christmas gift amounts under seven million dollars. Just get the money to Carol, James or Hunter.

You know how sometimes people go overboard for the holidays. Has anybody ever said that to you? Sometimes they do that at work. When you have, like, a thing, you know, what do they call that the Secret Santa? Or, of course, now they would call it the Chinese spy Santa, the Chinese spy Santa. And then you and then you tell the spy, OK, he's going to get that. She's going to get that person.

The cubicle gets that. But, you know, keep it under five dollars. So we don't want anybody getting uncomfortable. Keep it under five hours. That's the funniest thing about the left. They don't want anybody being uncomfortable.

And we have so much blockbuster news today on what's happening not only in the Supreme Court, not only in and with the Electoral College and what's going to happen on January 6th.

And what is preparing to another update on the twenty, twenty third of this month.

A lot of things are going on that are being ignored. But I am thrilled that you're here.

You know, I am in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.

I was driving in this morning and I saw I saw Democrat representatives huddled on the side of the road, burning ballots in big barrels. You know that singing remember?

And you remember that mic in in Rocky.

They would sing on the street corner. Now they're burning ballots 800, 282, 28, 82, so we have updates of and what we're going to do, we're going to make a list today. It's simple. No, no, no. We're not going to make like a Christmas list. We're going to make a list. Who in your state is a coward and who is courageous enough to fight for you. And I thought today would be a great day because in addition to all that, might tell them what it is.

Law from New York City. It's open line Friday. Thrilled that you're here on the EIB Network. My name is Ken Matthews, and it's always an honor and a pleasure to be guest hosting for America's Anchorman. So, for example, we're going to go around the country today, as we often do, the greatest audience in radio. And we're going to get your take on what's happening, because apparently the news media cannot give us up to date accurate, fair information on much.

So we rely on you. In fact, some of the best analysis on radio today, our listeners of The Rush Limbaugh Show.

I'm not kidding. Another GOP congressman says he'll likely challenge the Electoral College votes on January six, Representative Andy Biggs said he will likely join Representative Mo Brooks in challenging the Electoral College votes for certain states when they are counted on January 6th. So, for example, those are two people fighting for you. Chris Christie now. He's fighting for himself. Mitt Romney putting himself first. Because it can be uncomfortable putting America first and we learn that. And I don't know how shocked you'll be or not, but I have.

Exclusive audio here. And this is a Supreme Court justice, Clark. And he's talking about basically how chief justice. Roberts Chief Justice John Roberts was apparently too scared to take up the Texas case because of the politically incorrect repercussions and more. Now, this is what worries me. We talked about this before that.

The men and women on the Supreme Court, just like men and women who are judges all over this great country, I don't know about you, but I was raised to give them a level of respect. You know, they must be wise and whiz, you know, they must have wisdom and and understand the law and they paid their dues and they're honest and they're ethical.

No, they're not. Some of them are scumbags.

And anybody who knows. All you got to do is look at judges who are in jail now from across the country. Now, that's not the majority, we don't need to say that to this audience here, grown ups, you understand that there's only a few bad cops, there's only a few bad judges. We know that the majority of the men and women in the FBI are dedicated men and women. That defend the Constitution and would protect us if given the chance, we know all that, but that doesn't change the fact that some dirty judges and some dirty FBI directors like James Comey can really wreak havoc with our republic.

And we've kind of been beaten down as an American electorate, we've been beaten down when we speak this openly now there's about 80 million plus Trump voters as more of the counts come out. And I happen to believe and you can call me crazy and several people already have today, I happen to leap to believe President Trump is going to win this.

As more facts come out each day, more facts are coming out. We have dueling electors. We have other cases going to the Supreme Court.

This just came out now I don't know if the news media is going to cover this or not because it doesn't go with their narrative, but we have new stroke struck text, as Mr. Limbaugh would say, stroke, stroke, stroke struck. The FBI was investigating Donald Trump before CROSSFIRE hurricane. That was the operation was even opened.

And where does this all lead back to it leads back to Hillary and where does that lead back to John Brennan in the meeting with Obama. This is dynamite, explosive stuff. I think the scariest thing we face as a nation now is knowing that a bunch of people that make an obscene amount of money, many of whom just sit on their butt and read a teleprompter. And, you know, they check into makeup, they read a teleprompter or whatever, the so-called journalist have let the entire country down.

You let us down by misleading us in, under informing us on covid, you let us down by not vetting somebody like Hunter Biden, James Biden, Carol Biden, Joe Biden.

You let us down. Think about all the people that will no longer look to you in mainstream news media because they know you're full of it. They know that if something comes out and looks good for Trump, they won't hear it on your station.

And they know if something comes out and that looks bad for Biden, you'll cover it up. That's why it's such an exciting time in America, because we are seeing who in the news media has a clue who cares about the truth and we're seeing who in our government has a clue and who cares about us. I think one of those people is Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller. Now, why I like Christopher Miller is he's a former Green Beret and he's seen combat and I think the more people with combat experience.

In positions of leadership now, the better off we are, but you may remember this. Somebody came up with the ridiculous idea of letting Joe Biden have access to Pentagon transition briefings. Well, according to Axios. Christopher Miller, turn that off again, he said no. And why should he Joe Biden is under investigation from three states by the FBI. Joe is. Delaware, P.A. in New York, I believe, not to mention Hunter, Biden has been under investigation since 2018 and you're letting this guy have access.

You know, that's like letting Congressman Eric Swalwell be on the Intelligence Committee. Oh, he is. Oh. Well, yeah, she is kind of cute, but still think about the absurdity, the news media should be all over this if you are sleeping with someone and I'm not saying that Swalwell is, but if you're hanging with an alleged. Chinese. Operative, that's a real problem if you're a congressperson, I want to go back to Justice Roberts.

This is what was breaking. I just saw it. I'll put it up on my Facebook page at Ken Matthews. And there was a debate raging behind closed doors in the chambers of the Supreme Court, Justice Roberts was in there and several other people and somebody one of the other conservative justices and I'm not implying that Roberts is conservative at all.

I don't know if it was Gorsuch or Alito. I'm not sure. But someone behind the door said, look.

What about Bush v. Gore? And apparently the chief justice Roberts melted down. And here's how it was heard by these staffers line the talks.

It was written by someone who's a current staffer for one of these Supreme Court justices. And it's just described the reporting that I read and you can make of it what you will. He said that the justices, as they always do, went into a closed room to discuss know cases they're taking or the debate. There's no phones, no computers, no nothing. No one else is in the room except for the nine justices. It's typically very civil. They usually don't hear any sound moves.

They just debate what they're doing.

But when a Texas case was brought up, he said he heard screaming through the walls as Justice Roberts and the other liberal justices were insisting that this case not be taken up.

And the reason, the words that were heard through the wall when Justice Thomas and Justice Alito were citing Bush versus Gore from John Roberts were I don't give a damn about that case. I don't want to hear about it. At that time, we didn't have riots.

So what he was saying was that he was afraid of what would happen if they did the right thing and I'm sorry, but that is moral cowardice.

And we in the. See, I'm sorry.

No, we put those words in very specifically because the charge of the Supreme Court is to ultimately be our final arbitrator, our final line of defense for right and wrong.

Now, what is so amazing about this is and I know this audience knows this, what is the whole purpose for terrorism?

What is the reason for it? It's to scare someone into behaving another way. So think about where we are. If that is where we are, if we have the chief justice of the Supreme Court worried about. Riots. Then the people that are rioting are acting like terrorist. That's a scary time, can you imagine if law enforcement now many, many liberals believe this, many people from Seattle to Milwaukee believe this, how many times have you heard?

Well, don't upset them. It'll only be worse. And. I know as well as you know, most of Americans don't believe that most of Americans believe if someone breaks into your home, that's it. They don't believe someone's broken into your home. Don't upset them. Let them take what they want. Let them do what they want to do. Just don't upset them and the fact that the chief justice of the Supreme Court has that mentality, that should scare the heck out of us.

I'm Ken Matthews. I'm Ken Matthews. We'll be right back.

This is The Rush Limbaugh Show one week from Christmas Day. My name is Ken Matthews, and it's Open Line Friday, 822, 28, 82, I would love to hear about the courageous representatives or electors or poll workers or state senators in your state, because that's what it's coming down to. And I have to say, I'm very proud that we have had several well, more than several here in Pennsylvania rise to the occasion. And I'm very proud of that.

And as you know, Pennsylvania is one of the states in play. A lot of people don't know that there are seven states that set in an alternate slate of electors. There are 84 electoral votes.

And what can happen on January 6th, the House has the members needed to contest the Electoral College certification on January six, but so far, senators. Well, you probably heard that that Christmas poem, it was a week before Christmas and all through the house, no Kohona were evident except on a mouse. So there you go. Where are the senators, why has Mitch McConnell sold out? That's so politically incorrect to say, I mean, he's Mitch McConnell, no, he's not.

He's our employee. This is the biggest mistake we make. I think I'll speak for myself because I did it for years. I made the mistake of thinking that Senator Pat Toomey, that we we have to behave, you know, because he's he's said, no, he works for us. Your governor, Governor Nuisance in California, he works for you, demand accountability, these people work for you. How many times would you tolerate this from an employee?

How many people have businesses, small or large? How many times do you tolerate? Your employees stealing from you or disloyalty or destroying the morale of your entire staff, no employer tolerates that. But for some reason, the 330 million of us that employ the 435 in the House and the the 100 in the Senate, for some reason, we were confused about that dynamic. And I think what happens is when people get into the swamp and they start drinking that swamp water, I don't know what's in it.

Maybe there's some type of parasite in it. They start drinking that swamp water and they think that they're smarter than us, better than us. But we know most of them are richer than us, at least in my case. I mean, holy moly, how do you go into Congress?

You know, whatever, a buck 78 or a buck 85 a year. And then after five years, you have a net worth of 20 million dollars. How does that even happen? I think we know. Mo Brooks, he's another one that's fighting and putting America first Republican from Alabama. I just saw my Newsmax TV. I was I was cheering him on. He said, I've been in Congress for a decade, I know how some of these Congress critters and Senate critters try to avoid being courageous when it comes to what they call difficult votes.

Mo Brooks has just given a new definition of critter's. But in my mind, Mel went on to say that's what we are elected to do. See, I will argue that now more than any other time in history. I'm done quoting. This is me now more than any other time in history, and I think President Donald Trump has exhibited these qualities in some areas, especially over the last four years.

We are experiencing a rebirth of patriotism, Americanism. We're experiencing an awakening of how our government works and how important it is to send people to Congress that know their place.

You're in Congress, you're not in entrepeneur to see how much money you can make as a lobbyist or how much money you could skim off donations or how this will look on your resume. You're there to fight for your constituents.

And there's a lot of people that know that we need to find these people, support these people and these people like Mo Brooks and the others that we'll talk about throughout the show, because I know we're going to get calls. I know you have some very courageous men and women in your states that are on board with the fact that this was a stolen election.

They understand how to read evidence and they know that the Supreme Court, along with some federal courts, have been jerking us around 800 to eight to 2082.

Open line Friday, very quickly before we hit the phones, a quick update again, and I give you this update knowing that you expected from the EIB Network, especially when America's anchorman is here, you're always informed. And the news media there is gutless as some of the people that represent us. And in the Senate, it's scary. Sidney Powell has announced the Supreme Court, rejected Wisconsin, rejected the Arizona cases. But guess what they put on the docket, Georgia and Michigan.

Yes, several witnesses have come forward more. We have so many more. There's there's hundreds and hundreds. There's over a thousand. That are sworn testimony, which is interesting because a lot of these people that are leading the hearings, they're not under oath, which has always amazed me. When you watch these things, and I'm a geek, I watch C-SPAN and I that's where I get a lot of the notes or soundbites from, and it amazes me that, you know, Nancy Pelosi isn't put under oath.

But you know, Becky, from the 18th precinct of such and such a state, she's sworn in and she's warned that she could go to prison if she lies or makes a mistake. I think we should put Joe Biden under oath. The problem is I don't think he'd understand what was going on. 800 202 2082, one Georgia witness said, I feel like my elected officials are calling me a liar every time I say something. They are. That's what they're doing.

That's what liars do, they say, nah, you're a liar, you are. The difference is you're under oath. And here's what we should put into perspective. For a man or woman from the private sector to come forward and take on. What's going on now in this country? You want to talk about heroic? That's heroic. That is heroic that I am saying there is a reawakening, there is an energy going on in this country. You have people from every one of the states at play and other people coming forward, they're not only volunteering, they're organizing, they're doing it peacefully because on our side, we're the side that organizes peacefully.

We have big flags and a lot of red hats and stuff. We don't firebomb police cars. And I want to get back to why on Earth?

Would we let our country get to a point where if someone threatened to riot, you would change your mind on something? That's what terrorism is. And if that's true about John Roberts, if that's how he's running the show up there at the Supreme Court, that every time someone tweets, if the Supreme Court votes for Trump, we're going to burn down the city. What the heck is wrong with you? You're in the wrong country. You're on the wrong court.

That's exactly what this country is against. If you do this, we're going to destroy that. Are you out of your mind?

And the funniest thing, and there's nothing funny about it. Most Americans don't put up with that garbage.

Try going to your neighbor, dude, if you park in my space again, I'm breaking your windshield out. How's that going to play? I don't know. John Roberts, you probably have a driver.

Back to the phones. We go on open line Friday. Gretchen in St. Louis. Hi, Gretchen. You're on the Rush Limbaugh Show.

Hi, how are you? I'm feeling great, thank you.

Happy Friday. And God bless you for all you do and filling in for Rush and our prayers for Rush as well.

But you had a if we could call in about whether or not it is there's not too much I can do, I feel, except what I think.

Gretchen, hold on one second. There's something going on with your phone line. It actually sound it sounded like you fell into a garbage disposal. I hope you're OK. I hope you didn't it sound like that. He started. Yeah, it was it was a giant sucking sound, which usually comes when Democrats elected, so I hope that isn't an omen. All right.

We're going to try to work on your phone line, Gretchen. In the meantime, remain calm and stay away from the sink. Let's go to Toby in Wichita, Kansas. Hi, Toby. You're on Rush Limbaugh's show. Hi, Ken.

Thanks for taking my call. I want to ask every Republican listening right now to get on their phone or their computer and e-mail your U.S. state representative and implore them on January 1st to object to the electoral vote. They can do that. It's allowed by the U.S. code. I know Mitch McConnell is is telling Republicans not to do that, but the constituents have to implore the representative, just like the point that you made, they work for us. They are put there by us to represent us and protect us.

And they're not protecting us. And if our government isn't protecting us, at least protecting our constitutional right, isn't that tyranny?

I don't it is no you. Me that it is.

You bring up a great point, Toby, and I'm glad you called. And their job is to protect and defend the Constitution from enemies, both foreign and domestic. And we have now enemies, both foreign and domestic, as we'll find out probably Tuesday with the DNI report. China is all over this election. And I'm and not just on Hunters Hard Drive or Joe Biden's bank account, China's all over this election from Georgia to Nevada. And the job I would think these congressmen and senators would be is outraged as we are getting to the truth.

Instead, we find out earlier this week, according to sources, Mitch McConnell told a bunch of Republican senators, we don't want to disagree with you electoral votes.

I can't I can't impersonate him because I don't have a shell on because I'm not I'm not a tortoise, but. We don't we're not going to object to the Electoral College because it'll be very bad politically and for our careers.

So there is the problem. That's the problem. If you want to make a career out of it, then make a career out of doing an incredible job, don't make a career out of selling out. To get more money. On the back end, when you leave as a lobbyist, and the problem is the news media is so set on destroying Trump that these conversations don't happen on CNN panels or whatever, these conversations don't happen. So I think just like Joe Biden has been coddled for most of his career, as so many left to Starr, I don't think anybody's ever had a sit down with him.

And said, hey, this is bad, this is bad, this Dominion machines, and keep in mind, already we've had a diagnostic on the Dominion machine in Georgia.

It flipped the votes. Michigan, same thing, flipped the votes. And now we're looking at Nevada, we're looking at other this is just the Dominion part. And what's that? Oh, that's funny, yeah, Bo is telling me that what about what the Dominion CEO said? Well, wait till I have a witness come up and she just ripped him a new one. He's he's, like, talking through his. You know what? The other thing is, back in 2004 and 2006, Republicans and Democrats new on record.

And several high profile Democrats wrote letters about it that Smartmatic, Dominion and Diebold at the time was at play. They all swapped votes and they could be rigged. It was a feature to flip the vote count ratio. It was a feature. It wasn't a glitch. They all knew about it. How did I know? Because back in 2004, CNN still had some people that understood how to do news and Lou Dobbs was working there. I was shocked.

I have that on my face. No, it's not on my Facebook page. Facebook took it down because I forgot it's on my poller page. I forgot that if you if you disagree with Dr. Fauci or Joe Biden, you get banned because that's how socialism works. You know, when we're getting close to a Joe Biden tyranny, as Toby said. But think about that. They knew about this for 16 years, for 16 years, Republicans and Democrats.

Knew that there was an issue with this, and how much do you want to bet, and this is just my opinion, somebody said, you know, that might be a good feature to have. Maybe it's a good idea to have that feature.

We may want to change some votes around sometimes, like what happens if some outsider shows up and he wants to drain the swamp? We can't have that going on. Two terms. Even Mitch McConnell might lose his job.

This is The Rush Limbaugh Show. More of your calls coming up next on Open Line Friday.

Thank you so much for tuning in. To the EIB Network. Rush Limbaugh planning on being back Monday. My name, Ken Matthews. Always a pleasure and an honor to guest host for America's anchorman and to talk to you, because this is just an awesome audience. I want to go back to Gretchen. Apparently, she got her phone out of the garbage disposal. She's in St. Louis. Gretchen, welcome back to the show.

Thank you very much. Can you hear me now? Yes, Claire. Great, great. Great.

Thank you so much for taking my call. And God bless you for all you do. I am. I am. Just so I feel helpless, like I'm out here. I don't know what to do. And I know some you had mentioned whether or not people had written their representatives or senators. And I have. And I've gotten positive responses from Josh Holley, who is our senator. And then I heard from Roy Blunt and he said at the end of his blah, blah, blah, blah letter as chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, I will work with President elect Biden and his Presidential Inaugural Committee to plan for the swearing in ceremony on January 20th, 2001.

And I said goodbye. I will now again really, really very discouraged about that.

And I could see how that would be discouraging, especially those of us that are pursuing a fair and accurate count.

And we know that legally we have until January 6th. And we and yeah, it's just it is very depressing.

It's very it's like getting punched in the stomach when a Mitch McConnell or in your case, Roy Blount says what he said.

It's like, wait a minute, it's only the 18th of December. What are you doing? I thought you were on our team.

But on the other hand, at least I get to see who's on our side. Yes. And the light has been shown on the darkness. And I'm okay with that because he's going down. I mean, this is this is no, I will never vote for him again.

Well, this is the great you know, they keep calling it the great resending awakening to.

Yeah, well, it's it's exposing.

It's exactly what you said, Gretchen. The pressure is on and what happens when the pressure is on. You see the strength of everybody when the pressure starts to hit them. We've seen it repeatedly with President Donald Trump. I don't know how that man just doesn't get up every morning and just, like, lose it when he picks up the newspaper.

So I don't know I don't know how he does it because we are praying for him and we are praying for all those who are representing him. And that is through the power of prayer and through God. And I'm so thankful he is our president. And I wish I could tell him personally, but I know he knows we're praying for him.

Well, thank you for that, Gretchen, because I feel your energy on this call and you're so right with what you just said. And then you take 75, 76 million votes that we know of and the passion, the love of this country, the understanding of the Constitution and the power of prayer.

And the president, he must feel that. He must realize that he's got to go down. He's got to have a meeting today with, you know, fifteen senators who will pretend to kiss his butt in public and then behind his back will stab him in the back. But he knows it's a little different with the 75 million of us. That elected him for the second time, 802, a 228 82.

Let's go to Ernie in Lancaster. Hey, Ernie, how's everything in your battleground sector?

Hey, Ken. Well, it's you know, I've listened to you on the local stations, and I know I'm just kind of preaching to the choir here, but it wasn't until this year that I really started getting engaged in trying to address, you know, all the things with with Wal-Mart and now with, you know, our state legislature, legislators not stepping up to the plate to address the election fraud. You know, there's obviously a lot of people trying, you know, to email them and call them and Facebook pages and all that.

But I haven't heard a lot of people maybe you have, but a lot of, you know, radio personalities and people in, you know, prominent line, like calling these people out by name. And, you know, just like, you know, in addition calling out the the good guys by name, like, you know, Senator Doug Marciano, who's standing up and fighting all this. You know, we really need to name these people.

In fact, the legislators, the good legislators need to name the bad guys, too. What do you think about that?

I couldn't agree more. And I'm glad you called Ernie. And that's what we that's what we're going to try to do today. Like you just did not not just with Doug, but, you know, I'm I'm you know, what a fan I am of Congressman Scott Perry and the rest of the people on the Freedom Caucus.

I mean, to me, they represent a one of the groups that is always fighting for America with Jim Jordan and Louie Gohmert and the rest of the team on there.

And the these are the people that when you look across the country, these men and women that have come forward politically and as private citizens, to say there's something wrong here, we have to stop.

We have to examine this. We have to check. Here's what the Constitution says. They're putting everything at risk. I mean, they're putting their careers at risk. And again, I think the real heroes are these over 1000 men and women from the various swing states. I mean, anybody who lives in Pennsylvania, you know, that if you get on the wrong side of the Democrat machine, it's very unpleasant for you, whether it's on social media or at your job or God forbid, you get on the wrong side of the Democrat machine in Philadelphia.

That's just not comfortable. So to come forward with your real name and your address and the whole world sees you testifying. I mean, I again, I have to several people have called and brought this up that I think there is there's a lot of positive that's going on now in this country. And we are finding out the greatness of our country. I think we're discovering our fellow Americans again and we're discovering how bad the swamp is.

And it's going to take all of us to drain it on. Ken Matthews, we'll be right back.

So before I forget. You can go to Twitter. At real ah, Limbaugh, as in Rush Limbaugh, Rush is on Twitter now, but I also want to suggest Rush Limbaugh dotcom, one of my favorite shopping sites. But beyond that, you've got Rush 24/7.

You've got the Limbaugh letter.

It's probably the best it's probably the best radio site in existence for content and everything else. And you can also leave messages for Rush and send pictures to Rush as well. But check out Twitter. And Bo and I were just talking during the break and you need to check out attorney Lin Wood's Twitter as well.

Never a dull moment. I think Lin Wood is competing with President Trump's Twitter in a good way. You talk about fighters and that's what we need. By the way, coming up next hour, open line, Friday continues. But we'll tell you when the last time there were dueling electors. This happened before, not on this level, but, you know, on December 14th, seven states. Sent a slate of Republican electors. More on that coming up.

You're going to come into a new season of joy and fulfillment like you've never seen. Hi, I'm Joel Osteen. I have a daily podcast where I talk about overcoming obstacles, accomplishing dreams and becoming all you were created to be. You were made for more. You have new levels in you. There are seeds of greatness waiting to spring forward. You can't think negative thoughts and live a positive life. And on my daily podcast, I'll help you get your mind going in the right direction.

You may have had some disappointments in the past, but this is a new day. Chains that have held you back are being broken. Doors are going to open that you never dreamed would open. Now do you apart. Keep feeding your hopes, feeding your dreams. Don't use your energy to feed your history. Use your energy to feed your destiny. It's inspiring, uplifting and encouraging. I think you'll like it. Listen to the Joel Osteen podcast on the island radio ad on Apple podcasts wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm David Groo, host of the podcast Follow the Prophet. Now, I'm not talking about prophet in the biblical sense. I'm talking about entrepreneurs who follow the prophet and how they're making it work in business and sharing those exact lessons with you. The world, of course, is constantly changing and many of you are seeking some sort of financial stability. Well, this podcast is not some get rich quick motivational show. This podcast is designed for you to discover how to use your money to help you.

Every week you're going to hear from successful entrepreneurs to learn about their achievements, but most importantly, to avoid their mistakes. On the podcast, you're also going to hear stories that will deconstruct what's going on in the economy and how those developments affect your finances. Economic stability, of course, is something that we're all seeking. And I'm going to tell you how to get closer to your dreams so that you can follow the profit. Listen to follow the profit every Saturday on the I Heart radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Thank you so much for tuning in. Mr. Limbaugh planning to return on Monday. And it's open line Friday, 800 to 228, 82 law from New York City. It's open line Friday. And as usual, we're getting awesome calls on the Rush Limbaugh Show. And on more than one occasion, listeners have said, hey, we need to recognize and call out the people that are doing the right thing, the congressmen, the senators. Well, senators doing the right thing are hard to find, but we're still looking.

And all these witnesses, we probably remember Melissa Carone. She's the Dominion whistleblower from Michigan.

I've just become a fan of hers. And it's probably because I have relatives from Michigan and it just brings back memories of that Michigan accent. When I visited family in Michigan back in the 60s and 70s, maybe that's why I just but I got to tell you, she gets she has a great quote about the CEO. She calls him out as a liar. The CEO of Dominion and Will will break down where she has called him out with evidence. And he did kind of back himself into a corner a little bit, just like Christopher Krebs.

Remember Christopher Krebs? He was the guy in charge of Cesa. I forget the acronym, but it's, you know, the cyber voting security dude.

And he went on Twitter and in typical deep state, back stabbing Trump fashion. He said. 59 experts agree that this was the most secure election, and it sounds like every time Democrats want to tell you a lie, doesn't it? You know, the experts agree. It's it's there's been a consensus, a scientific consensus, there's always a bunch of experts that agree there's never any evidence. Have you noticed that there isn't evidence on Twitter? They don't link you to studies or facts.

They just go, hey, I talked to a bunch of people at this party. We're on the same page. So I saw that, and I'm like, what, moron, after seeing all the evidence just from the seven states and there's three other states that are being toyed with, just so you know. But seven states in play right now. What moron would say this was the most secure election when now they're they're guestimating. That there are several million votes that were taken from one person and given to another.

And yet he was saying that with a straight face, then I said, what is his background? Because that's something else that's fascinating and that's something amazing when you start researching the swamp.

Like, I'm wondering how long it's going to take members of the news media. To research. Carol, Biden's brother in law and his relationship to Dominion, I just gave you a lead, no charge for that, no charge. Now, why is Carroll Biden even part of it? Because she has been Joe Biden's campaign manager for over 30 years. So she's a member of the campaign. So she's getting paid. And was paid by campaign money, and if a member of her family, direct or indirect, has ownership and dominion.

I would call that a conflict. We were talking about this earlier this week and someone brought up that lame conflict. What about Donald Trump? I mean, he has he owns all kinds of stuff. The Trump family has all kinds of stuff. You don't think that's a conflict? No, let me tell you why not. Because he puts his name on everything. There's no doubt if you're driving down the road, that's Trump Tower, that's a Trump Hotel, that's a Trump bus, that's a Trump plane, that's Trump the Trump Trump Trump Tower.

That's a Trump tie. And that's Donald Trump. He has Trump written on it. There's no doubt. We know we know that he is a successful businessman and we know that some of his family members are running things so he can run the country, unlike Joe Biden. Joe Biden just says, no comprende. And that's Chinese, by the way. Joe Biden says, what conflict, I don't know what conflict, I don't know what I don't know what you're talking about, verismo quid pro quo.

One thing you've got to say about President Donald Trump, can he get any more open with what's on his mind and what's going on? Well, you got to do is just read Twitter and read a couple of his books and you're all caught up.

So much conflict. Here's the courage of some of these witnesses, Melissa Carone says they're scared of me and they should be.

Again, that reminds me of some of my relatives since passed on in Michigan. They're scared of me and they should be. The CEO lied and she personally witnessed the Dominion machines being hooked up to the Internet. There are all kinds of things that came out in these hearings, I think the most frustrating thing about the lack of coverage by the news media, these hearings, I think, represented some of the best of America.

We we were able to see men and women passionate about freedom involved in their in the political process and putting their own name and reputation. Or more on the line, and then we got to see how different elected officials reacted to them, like in our state, some of the Republican officials made me so proud the way they reacted to. Testimony from voters. That's what you want, you want your senator to say, oh my God, there's five voters in my lobby and they've got really important information.

You don't want your senator to say, who the hell are you, you know who I am. You see, that's the problem, we've let that happen, and I think the stolen election, the flipped votes, the lies to cover it up and the useless, lazy media, so I might say biased, useless, lazy media, they've given us a window of opportunity. They've given us a window of opportunity to get our country back. As we get together, that's the funniest thing, if you want to see people unite, you watch how Americans feel.

When you break into their house collectively and steal stuff from them, you'll unite. This is uniting entire neighborhoods. Nobody likes this theft. Nobody likes dirty politicians.

So I think I think the Democrats are uniting people without even realizing this because they're so dirty, they're so dirty. We don't even want to tolerate Democrats don't even want to tolerate you anymore.

By the way, did you see another another story that just broke on The Daily Caller? President Trump is set to announce a number of pardons. No, I don't know if it's this afternoon or before Monday. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, national security whistleblower Edward Snowden. Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. And several others. According to The Daily Caller and Axios, both those sources, they've been debated internally at the White House. I, for one, would like to see Mr.

Assange pardoned, I think. His prison time and everything else that's been going on his has been plenty for a guy who just wanted to share the truth with people because some people in the government weren't willing to listen.

And think about that, think about that now we are in an age of censorship and things being banned, we're in an age of Supreme Court justices being worried, well, if I roll correctly or if I rule for this guy, even though he may have won, then.

The left might burn cars and break windows, the left always burns cars and breaks windows, it doesn't matter what you do, you cannot appease the left. My God, look at Portland, Oregon, in Portland, Oregon. Didn't a bunch of Democrats win on the local level and they still trash your city every night? What's the deal? They're going to trash it no matter who wins, it's like people that say we won the Super Bowl, let's burn the city.

What is that? That's insanity and America's done with it. You think about all the the businesses owned by women. And owned by people of color. And immigrants to this country that came to this country, to places like Philadelphia and New York and Seattle and other places, all the businesses of theirs that the media doesn't talk about that have been destroyed, burned out or economically gutted because the Democrat Party is made up of teenagers trapped in adult bodies. That are so used to getting their way, you start getting your way when you're in nursery school, for God's sake.

It's OK, Timmy, you came in last, but here's a shiny trophy. And that continues right through the Senate before you know what, you're getting a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing. President Obama, I still don't know why he got that. I want to go back to Georgia for a second, then we go back to the phones. Thanks for joining us today again on The Rush Limbaugh Show. Let's go in Georgia. After three recounts for people following along, Georgia did certify the 2020 election, however, yesterday afternoon, the Georgia secretary of state, Brad, what the heck are you doing?

Raffensperger announced a statewide move to match signatures to their absentee ballots in all 159 counties. Now, this is problematic for people that steal votes.

Any effort to verify the validity or accuracy of a vote angers Democrats in swing states, so I would imagine they're pretty ticked off at Brad right now. 159 counties, he announced at the signature matching will be done in partnership with the University of Georgia. The study will review a random sample of signatures for mail in ballots that were cast in the presidential election. Now, I wonder if they're going to do this like they're trying to do in Nevada, where they're going to go county to county, they're going to bipartisan, random third party, go in randomly, grab a batch and say, OK, let's see, let's see how much illegality we've stumbled on in this pile.

And I think what's going to happen in Georgia, since there's 253 pending cases of fraud right now, I think there's going to be some problems there. And as of Monday of this week, so that was five days ago. It could have changed. There were half a million votes that Georgia couldn't explain.

So the other issue that we have, and this is what's really upsetting, we have people at the local level, like in Pennsylvania, the Secretary Boockvar, we have people at the local level, attorneys general and secretaries of state that refuse to fully cooperate.

Knowing that every day they delay or when they don't cooperate and when you say, look, we really need to see the vote tabulation receipts from this computer and that computer, they just go no. And then they they force the Trump team who's playing by the rules legally. To get closer and closer to the deadline, and that is something else I believe the American public is finished with, we're done with, you know, I'm the governor.

And what I say goes, I think governors have lost more credibility since covid started than any other time in history.

This is The Rush Limbaugh Show. And we'll be right back.

And just a just a quick note. If you are planning on getting a gift for the Bidens, don't go crazy. They they they said they have plenty. Keep it under a million bucks. And just run it through, Hunter. Or Carol or James, 822, 82, I'm Ken Matthews, in for Rush Limbaugh on Open Line Friday, there was a report I want to mention it.

You may have heard it already that the news media help Joe in the election by covering up a variety of stories. This was a news survey conducted by polling research for Media Research Center.

And it found that major media censorship of vital stories because they kept voters uninformed, particularly Joe Biden voters, because that's the media's job, especially if it's bad. They believe that contributed to more people voting for Joe based on. Not having all the information. And they're believing that this is why a lot of people believe President Trump did not get re-elected, this lack of information prove crucial, said the MRC in a report on the poll. One of every six Biden voters they surveyed, 17 percent, said that they would have abandoned the Democrat candidate if they knew the facts about one or more of the following stories.

So here's the stories now. When you think about this, this is this makes total sense. If you look at the percentage of people that were unaware of the stories, the Joe Biden sexual allegations, 35 percent of voters unaware Hunter Biden scandal. You know, the hard drive and all the horrible things involved with it, forty five percent had not heard about it.

This is why when your relatives come over, you talk to your liberal neighbor and you go, oh, my gosh, what are you what do you think about that unabiding scandal in the Ukraine thing? I don't know what you're talking about. What are you, a conspiracy theorist?

That's because the news is not doing its job. Harris, Kamala Harris, the most leftist senator in history, and definitely now 25 percent didn't know that if you said that she is more liberal than any other senator, other.

Yaha, 25 percent didn't know that 33 percent were unaware of the economic growth trends and accomplishments of President Donald Trump up through and including. Operation warp speed, there's people out there now that are saying, oh, I'm glad Joe Biden was elected. Now we have a vaccine. Middle East peace deals, 43 percent were unaware of those and President Trump's role, U.S. energy independence. This is what is really scary, 50 percent of Joe Biden voters in the seven swing states, half did not know that under President Donald Trump, this country became energy independent.

And last but not least, 36 percent didn't even know what operation warp speed was.

Now, whose fault is that? That's the news media. It's not your job to be a talk radio host or to be an educator or a news person and run around, you've got a life. You can't go around and do the research we do.

But think about if the news media took the time, if they stopped hating Donald Trump for, say, an hour or even an hour a day, and they put valuable information on their platforms that voters could. Make decisions about on their own. The left is not going to let that happen. It is a real treat to be talking to you today, and I thank Mr. Limbaugh on the EIB Network for the opportunity to open line Friday. More breaking news.

This is such an exciting time in history, is it not? The U.S. Supreme Court just threw out the lawsuit, the one that wanted to block President Donald Trump. Remember, he wanted to exclude.

Illegal foreign nationals from our population count used to allocate congressional districts, remember that six to three ruling, by the way. He wanted to exclude illegal foreign nationals. He didn't want to exclude immigrants here legally. He didn't want to exclude you or me. He wanted to exclude the possibly 18 million plus people that are here illegally from having a say in our government. How does that even work? Think about it. It's funny because I'm reading an article here in Newsmax and they're saying an estimated 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally and we've all heard numbers closer to 20, but that's OK.

The challengers have argued that Trump's policy violates the Constitution in the Census Act, a federal law that outlines how the census is conducted eat wrong.

There are still people out there that believe the United States Constitution is designed to serve the entire planet. No, it's designed to serve the United States of America. It's the United States Constitution. People in France don't have a United States constitutional right to what you have, despite what Kamala Harris may believe or what AOC has lectured on. After her bartending shift. And there's nothing wrong with bartenders, they work very hard and I'm sad that your governor probably keeps you from working.

We haven't even talked about the whole covid thing in the whole dictatorship of the governors and what they're doing.

And Cuomo is probably among the most abusive, but so is so is Wittmer governor witless Governor Nuisance in California.

It's terrifying. It is terrifying that the covid vaccine messaging is so confusing and the people in charge are so hypocritical. And I don't know if you saw this and I'm not going to mention her name or her hospital because I don't want to poke fun at her.

But I must say, it was it was nice to watch. It was kind of fun because she's OK. But did you see the nurse? I'm sure it'll go viral already. The nurse that she got the vaccine on live television, local affiliate. I forget the affiliate in her city.

And she was talking about she just got the vaccine and she was talking about and she said, well, I'm just so happy I got the.

He fainted. Yeah, I know it was very entertaining and she's OK and nurses do a great job. OK, by the way, Vice President Mike Pence got the vaccine today. Did you see that? Yeah, he pulled up his sleeves. He's ripped. He's got arms like Michelle Obama. I do not want to fight. Mike Pence just got the vaccine. Oh. 800 202, 2082, but you have to admit, the messaging of this is bizarre, is it not?

Here's an example. I want to take a quote from the legend. Dr. Gupta, OK. Just because you get vaccinated after the second dose does not mean you should be traveling. You could still be infected and pass it along to others, you still might have to wear a mask or distance. So my question would be. And again, I'm not a legendary doctor, why the hell am I getting the vaccine again? I'm just saying. I thought the vaccine was OK, we've taken care of it.

I mean, it's your choice. Just do the research for goodness sake, do the research. Just remember some of the people that are telling us about things like vaccines. They're the same people that tell us that when cows pass gas, the temperature in India goes up if the cows are in Oregon.

So just remember, those are the same people, same group, same group. And remember, remember the words of Dr. Jill Biden, no, I can't I'm not I'm not going to. It's that's too easy. That's too easy. But when Whoopi Goldberg on The View, which has got to be one of the greatest comedy shows ever, you get all these idiots and they all somebody has led them to believe that they're all very informed, intelligent and articulate.

And then people watch them during the middle of the day. It's funny. It's really a neat concept. It's funnier than Saturday Night Live has ever been. But when she said I think Dr. Jill Biden, she's a great doctor, she should be the surgeon general. I just about fell off my chair and I thought, that's the problem right there. That's the problem. All the people that should be informed. Just aren't 822 2082, let's go to Vickki in Dripping Springs, Texas, where is that located, Vicki?

Oh, it's just outside of Austin, but we don't like to really, you know, claim Austin. So we're kind of on the verge of Austin, if you know what I mean. Well, you know, a lot of people are moving to Austin.

Joe Rogan just moved there and some some tech guy just moved. Everybody's moving to Texas from California.

I know. I know. And that's fine. They can stay in Austin. I'll just stay in my beautiful dripping springs. Anyway, I have just two quick questions, if I may, and a message for Rush. And I'd like to start with the message for Rush, because he's far more important than any of these spineless politicians. So I just want Rush to know to please don't worry about your audience. If you need to take time off, just take it.

We're not going anywhere and we send you our love and our prayers. So that's just for Rush. And then my question is, why do you suppose the GOP senators won't grow a spine and stand up and commit to standing shoulder to shoulder with Mo Brooks? And I don't I don't want to hear. Well, most likely he will or I just need to see a little bit more evidence or whatever. Do they not realize that they're 75 plus million people with a laser focus on them right now watching what they're doing and and listening to what they're saying?

I don't understand why they just won't grow a spine and support Trump and support Mo Brooks for doing this. They just will not commit. And my second question is, can John Roberts be replaced? I mean, I know it's supposed to be a lifetime position. I get that. But what happens if he it's like a dereliction of duty or what happens if he starts going off the deep end like a Biden or something? Can is there an app to be replaced?

I look. Wow, you covered so much. Thank you for calling, Vicki. I love calls from Texas. God bless Texas. If he starts going off the deep end like a Biden.

I like that. We got two guys going.

Biden, I think you can impeach a Supreme Court justice, but I'm not sure. So I'll have to do some research on that. But that's a great question. And what you said about people not standing with MO and not lining up to back up the president.

The president has faced this since he was elected. This is another reason I'm so passionate about supporting President Donald Trump and I have been since he came down the escalator, because here's a guy who, without doing anything, just speaking the truth has ruffled so many feathers.

That's my kind of guy. He is not a go along to get along guy. Donald Trump, the president. I don't want a leader that goes along to get along. Understand, though, that a lot of the establishment Republicans, they are putting themselves first. I'm sure they're thinking in the back of their mind. And we know this. We know that when Democrats lose, they burn things and break things and destroy things. And in the case of Hillary, she's still holding a grudge from, what, eight, eight runs ago.

And so is Biden, Joe Biden, how many times did he try to run for president and was rejected by the voters? These people have giant chips on their shoulders.

Now, I think Republicans believe I can't get in their head, but I think some of these senators are like, you know, I I don't know if I want to come out swinging for Trump, because if if Biden does get in, they're not going to forget it. You're going to make my life really uncomfortable. So they're wusses. Basically, that's what we're dealing with because there's no argument other than that lame garbage that we heard from the clerk in the Supreme Court that called attention to the fact.

That he claims to have heard Justice Roberts arguing with other justices and Justice Roberts was screaming and saying, you know, this is not this is not Bush v. Gore.

People can riot. And when I hear someone with that much power. I was going to say something that my dad would say, but then I would never be asked back because it's vulgar when you hear someone with that much power, but the lack of courage, it's kind of scary because you think that the chief justice of the Supreme Court would be like, damn the torpedoes, we're doing what's right. We're going to count these votes. We're going to follow this constitution to what?

T to the letter?

No, he's like, what if they write? So basically, this is what worries me, if it's true.

Chief Justice Roberts, is that all it takes? Are you telling me that BLM or Antifa or who I call pantie pantie rock and roll up in the city or state and scare the heck out of the Democrats? Oh, my God. My grandfather's spinning in his grave. He fought the Japanese in World War Two. He's spinning in his grave, if that's all it takes. A bunch of Sois boys breaking windows and and burning hubers. And that's all it takes for the Democrat Party to say, well, it just wouldn't be good for the country.

Now, this would be the greatest thing for the country if we taught the world a lesson. You don't roll in here with China's help and steal our election ain't going to happen.

This is the Rush Limbaugh Show. We'll be right back.

You're listening to the Rush Limbaugh Show on the EIB Network one week before Christmas. Congratulations on making it, by the way, what a year it's been. I just want you to know that I took my mask off for this show, even though the company requires it. Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy.

It's. And there's a new by the way, there's a new research thing out, I'm trying to figure out where I'll put it because this stuff gets knocked off in so many different platforms, probably on Paula. I'm on Paula. Ken Matthews 2010 is my Paula handle, Paula.

But here's a here's a study from Massachusetts University of Massachusetts, Lowell and California Baptist University. And they the study, the gist of it is the mask slows down air flow. Anybody that's went to fire school, you know, that slows down our school of airflow, excuse me, making people more susceptible to breathing in particles and a dirty facemask can effectively filter out the tiniest, cannot even filter out the tiniest of droplets. So the the take away is wearing a used mask or the wrong mask could be more dangerous than not wearing one at all when it comes to warding off covid-19.

According to a new study, a new three layer surgical mask is 65 percent efficient at filtering particles in air.

But when it's used, that number drops to 25 percent. It's natural to think that wearing a mask, no matter new or old, should always be better than nothing, that's wrong. The results are this is only true for particles larger than five micrometers. But not for the fine particles, smaller than 2.5 micrometers, so there's a lot of gibberish involved in here in this. No, no, no. I'm saying the study's accurate. I'm just saying that to me, the mask thing has always been a control issue.

How far can they push grown men and women across the greatest nation on Earth? People that, you know, conquered the West and chopped down big trees and make big buildings and jump out of airplanes, and how long can they keep tellin men and women, you're going to need to wear a mask to walk into the gas station and buy a pack of gum?

And how long are we going to play along? That's really the question, because the world is watching.

And the world is protesting, and that's something that the news media refuses to cover, but all hell is breaking loose in Germany and France and the UK and Australia and other countries over the lockdown's, the misrepresentation of covid deaths, the scamming of the covid cases.

Let me clarify the scamming of the covid cases before people freak out, the PCR test is the easiest test to rig of all the test. The picture covid test is like the Dominion voting machines of the viral industry. So these are like on the same track, we have a vote counting machine that's B.S. and rigged and we have a PCR tests for covid that's B.S. and rigged, that Democrats can use both of these items to either lie about the results or terrify the heck out of you.

How do you do it? The PCR test is is a simple test. You take the swab, which they have no right to give you, but let's say you get that far. All you do is you raise the threshold, the cycling of the viral. Properties in the test, so it's so high. That you may have something so tiny, some covid piece, so tiny, because the the virus, the covid virus is the same as the common cold, by the way.

It's not the same. Makeup as far as how people handle it, but those pieces of it are similar, so if you raise the cycle on a PCR test high enough, everybody in your house might test positive. You might feel great. You might not be having any symptoms, you might not spread it or anything, but you can say. They have covered so one is a quantifier one's a qualifier, one says up, that guy's got covid, it might be a piece of covid that's so tiny that you'll never even feel it.

But you go down as a case that way. News people across the world can scare you every day by saying there's more covid cases. You need to do what Governor Cuomo said because he's really smart and so is his brother Chris there on TV at the same time. Yeah, and they've both been caught without a mask. That's the other thing. To go one step further, to make sure you understand, I never take. Danger or health issues or people suffering lightly.

This is not what this is, but we need to step back as the free people we are. Take a look at our Constitution and take a look at how full of crap some of these so-called experts are, especially with this covid thing.

Because if it was even half the horror of what it has been sold, as, you would have never seen dozens of governors and hundreds of Democrats and representatives and business owners. Out without a mask, you wouldn't have seen it, you would have never seen Foushee, Foushee would have never been at a ball game without a mask. Because if it is what everybody says it is, you wouldn't see new some. You wouldn't see these mayors out with their family in Philadelphia or Los Angeles.

They would be terrified. But I think they know the truth. I think they know it is not good for high risk people, for older people, people with comorbidities and preexisting conditions. And it's been proven and tested all over the world. But they're on board with this game. And the game is we need to control the population so much right now. Because let's face it, guys, these people are getting a little frisky. They're doubting the validity of a stolen election.

How can we tap this down? What if we make them stay in their house? Oh, it worked before.

Just my thought. So question, question everything. Make sure if you do a vaccine, make sure that your doctor explains the risk and you don't have any conditions that may make you react more adversely than some other people. That's really important because you've made it this far. We have made it. How far have we made it without a covered vaccine? Several hundred several hundred years, yeah, 800 to eight to twenty eight, eighty two, it's open line Friday.

I'm Ken Matthews. We'll be right back.

The Rush Limbaugh Show Open Line Friday, one week before Christmas, 802, a 228 82. My name's Ken Matthews. They wanted me to dress like an elf today, I. I don't I don't have it. That's some of the staff, though, they're dressed like elves. More of your calls coming up.

And more good news about the court cases for President Trump, hour three of the show.

Thanks for tuning in today. The Rush Limbaugh Show on the EIB Network. Rush planning to be back on Monday, in the meantime, it's its open line Friday morning from New York City. It's open line Friday, 800 to eight to twenty eight. Eighty two great calls today from around the country is where, as we're slowly but surely and this is the and this is one of the good things that's come out of 2020. We have learned who is drunk on power when you give a governor.

And we should have never given the governor this level of power in any state to say, here's how many people will be allowed at your church. That's a communist thing. You don't give people communist power. But anyway, we're finding out who's really enjoying it, are we not?

We're finding out. What men and women that we have elected that work for us. Are now saying, man, I could jack you guys all over the place with his covid stuff. And that's a shame. One of the worst is Cuomo. And Governor Cuomo of New York, Andrew Cuomo, just signed legislation this week. This doesn't surprise me because this is what the left does. It would ban the sale of Confederate flags and other symbols of intolerance and hate on public property and limit the display of such symbols as long as a long standing free speech advocate.

This is from Jonathan Turley who wrote this You have to defend speech that you find offensive to me. This is the most basic concept of the First Amendment. If you find that particular religion offensive, if you find that group of people offensive, if you find them, they're assembling peacefully, but you don't like what they have to say. Too bad this is America. That's why people flock to America, because in America, there was a First Amendment before the Democrats started.

Disfiguring it and destroying it. The First Amendment is designed. To protect all speech, not just the speech that makes you comfortable, you know, when I speak to younger people. And when I speak about things like media and whatever in my presentations, there are people in college that don't even know this concept, which scares me. There are people in college that have been brainwashed to believe that. It's almost job. To shut up all the offensive people.

And that's scary, that's scary because one of the greatest things and I know this because I only attended one of these in my whole life, I went to a New Black Panthers rally in Washington, D.C. and let me tell you this, but I stuck out and I heard some very interesting things there.

And what I walked away with. Was what a country this is. That you can get a permit, peacefully, assemble in a public place, say some of those things. And and then just go home. And that's an example. Of how we have we have taken the greatest freedoms, the greatest constitutional rights.

And the first one has just been so abused. By governors, the right to assemble, the right to worship. The right of free speech it's got. It is gone, it's not we don't have it anymore. We don't have it anymore. You don't have it on a variety of platforms, free speech is not permitted in newsrooms. And where it is, you get someone who's a coward. They get up, they get a couple notes or, you know, how dare you have someone coming on, let's say Trump won the election.

I'm not going to watch your station anymore, Bobbye.

But see, that isn't how our leadership is now, we have too many people in leadership positions, in powerful positions, and we didn't know during the campaign that they were gutless.

We didn't know who would have known. I mean, that's a trademark of rhinos, rhinos, campaign, Republicans in name only, and you know who they are around the country on the local level, the state level, federal level, you know.

They campaign on I'm going to get up there and I'm going to fight for you and I've got a copy of the Constitution in my pocket. And this says, and then the minute you say, hey, hey, senator, I think they stole our election. Can't we do this, this and this. And this and this. Well, no, that would make too many waves and I've got a big career ahead of me. Again, I don't want to make a bunch of waves, how am I going to make a bunch of money if I'm ticking off people?

I don't want people in office that are afraid to upset people.

I don't want people that will harm people, but keep in mind, this is the the evolution of the dumbing down of our population. They've convinced you that if someone's angry, they're a danger. And if someone says this word or that word, it's somehow an assault.

They've convinced you, just like they convince the whole media has convinced a whole generation that Kaepernick. Is a hero, what's his first name again, Mike, I always forget. Colin, thank you. They they've convinced the generation that that is heroic.

And then if you go on the social media sites, you see some of the filth and the hate that is being dumped on men and women, both Republican and Democrat, that have come forward in swing states.

And been willing to testify, whether they whether they drive a mail truck or whether they're in the postal service or whether they're with Dominion voting machines or they were a vote watcher or a vote tabulator, they've come forward.

And the attack. And what have they done? They just said, I swear, under perjury, under a fine of perjury or whatever, or penalty of perjury, excuse me, that I will tell the truth, the whole truth, et cetera, et cetera.

This is what I saw.

And for that.

Moms and grandparents and whoever are getting crucified on social media by people who mostly are gutless and stupid.

Because you really have to be gutless and stupid at this point to go after someone who's trying to get to the truth, think about that.

Trying to get to the truth, yet you turn on the view and. They've redefined the definition of hero. It's funny, and I get a kick out of how the left gets so. Off the rails, going after conservative women, have you noticed that, oh, my gosh, it's like filth. It's the the same the same, you know, leftist woman who wants to file a lawsuit against someone.

I didn't really like the way he looked at my sweater. And then he complimented me, I'd like to sue you for ten million dollars, you should have never said that's what it looks great on you. You should hear what they are calling a woman who comes forward and says, I saw 4000 ballots tampered with and removed in a truck, so everyone should be attuned to what is going on. And we have to remind ourselves on a regular basis, and this is why we get this every day as conservatives.

When you say, hey, did you see the ruling on this? Did you see that or where did that happen?

I didn't see that on CNN. How could it have even happened?

And there's a reason that's called propaganda. That you don't hear what you need to hear and you only hear what they want you to hear. So Cuomo signs a state law barring the sale of symbols of hate. And then a bunch of liberals, they'll decide what a symbol of hate is. Is it a magic hat? Is it a magic shirt?

Did you grow up in the South and you're proud to wear a Confederate flag? Is it that. Who decides? No, it's certainly not the Constitution anymore, not in the eyes of the left, 822, 28, 82. Kerry in Pittsburgh, P.A. Kerry, you're on the Rush Limbaugh Show. Welcome.

Thanks. Ken is a resident of Pittsburgh. I would briefly comment on the massive corruption in the state and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. However, I looked at Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri, his Web site, and it's just a bunch of covid stuff. But people come. Most comments are about his lack of support for President Trump. My unscientific survey, about half of them are a Roy get with the program, support the president and the other half are we're not going to ever elect you again.

Yesterday's program had some fascinating comments about how some of these rhinos have disdain for what they used to call the Reagan Democrats, you know, the blue collar people who are supporting President Trump. And that seems to be the case that they think they can forget these people. And I think that the 74 million plus people like me are not happy with what's going on with this election and are not going to forget it. And they're not going to be able to just skate through this and get re-elected.

So.

Well, Kerry, I'm glad you called and I couldn't agree with you more. And it's interesting because the the left makes such threatening statements and they make these horrible statements.

If you go against them, I mean, they call you the most horrific things and they threaten you. And again, I go back to what we had at the top of the show.

We had the audio soundbite of a Supreme Court justice clerk who who was saying claiming to have heard Justice Chief Justice John Roberts saying he has to to rule a certain way because he's dealing with rioters and we cannot let that happen.

We cannot let that happen. The minute we say, you know what, we'll just scare people and they'll do what we want, that's organized crime, that's terrorism, that's not the United States, that's I mean, people get put into jail for that.

Well, not in a Democrat town, and that's the other problem, that is the other problem with the Democrat Party and every every leader from that nitwit in Chicago. Oh my gosh.

How did that how did how do you even get elected anyway?

Seattle. Throughout the country, these major Democrat strongholds that have given way too much elbow room. To people that want to destroy things and break things, but I agree with Carrie when a bunch of informed people that love America. All get on the same page like we did in 2016, electing Trump the first time, that is a force to be reckoned with and that's not set in a threatening way. That's set in a set, in a political way.

In a constitutional way. That is one giant voting block of hard working, law abiding citizens. It's not like how the Democrats break things down into little pieces.

This group, that group, this minority, that minority, this organization, that organization. And that's another thing for people who have been my fellow Americans who have been to mega rallies with the president. It's a wonderful experience and you leave with newfound friends. And you leave, even though you know that a lot of different people support President Trump. You leave shocked, pleasantly surprised, you leave like, wow, I couldn't believe this group and that group and that group in this group.

And the news media covers that up, too, and I think the news media not only have they done a disservice to all Americans, but in particular Democrats, the news media has led you to believe, just like they did in 2016, that Hillary No. One, she was the smartest woman in the world. She's not. She was going to win. Bummer. And they also led you to believe that no one supports Trump and no one supports make America great again.

And that's a disservice to everybody, because that's how you get so many people that are.

We'll be right back. This is the EIB Network, you're listening to the Rush Limbaugh Show. You know, feeling secure in your own home is as important as ever right now. And simply safe home security system provides that peace of mind. Rush explains this better than anyone. Hey, folks. Installing a home security system, you can do it now. You can afford it now. It's not something that's priced out of your ability to afford. Installing a home security system provides intangible value to your family at home.

Peace of mind, sense of being protected, maybe even lower home insurance rates. But no one's ever going to define it as an upgrade in the same way they might consider the installation of a big appliance or the remodeling of a part of your home.

Home security systems don't get the fanfare that other upgrades get, but they should, for example, when you install a simply safe home security system. That's exactly what your family's getting home security. You're going to be immediately captivated by how easily it works, how effectively it works in providing safety. This new sensation of being able to protect your home as you leave it for work or whatever takes you away from a home is just empowering its peace of mind. Simply safe has made this real simple.

They've eliminated wires. I know I say that a lot, but it's big. It is so big. Eliminating the wires eliminates the complex. I'm eliminating the wires means that you can understand your system. It means that you can interact with it. It means that you can understand it and deal with it, that you can become intimately aware of how it operates. So in case it needs to be troubleshooting, you can do it. No wires. They use Wi-Fi for all the sensors to communicate with the base station 24/7.

Monitoring service just as easy to access. It's fourteen ninety nine a month. There's no long term contract design, which means no two years and no fifty bucks a month. Now you see this online. Simply say for USA Dotcom, you don't need an offer code. That web address is exclusively for you in this audience. Simply save USA Dotcom, 60 day money back guarantee and a free HD camera. It's all at simply safe USA dot com.

So the Rush Limbaugh Show, my name is Ken Matthews, and before I forget, if you want to wish Rush well, you can do that on the share your stories tab at Rush Limbaugh Dotcom.

That's replaced the special notes to Rush tab. The other thing is, and I mean it not just the Rush store, but Rush Limbaugh dotcom, the Rush letter, the Rush Limbaugh letter, Rush 24/7. These all make great gifts as well, something that's a recurring theme today. And it's coming in because it's open line Friday.

And this is a recurring theme on The Rush Limbaugh Show, because I remember over 30 years ago when I was doing top 40 radio and I would listen to Rush Limbaugh when I got off the air at 10:00, I would listen to the Rush Limbaugh Show two hours later, East Coast, 12:00 noon.

And I was amazed at how you can be have this big of a network, yet the value that Rush put and felt for his audience, that to me was the biggest thing.

That's what stood out. Unlike when you're watching, you know, like a late night TV show or a news show or whatever it may be.

The fact that and that's why he has so many listeners. That's one of the pieces of the puzzle that he brought to reenergizing and redefining talk radio, and that's why this is such a it's like a family thing.

And that's why I'm always talking about the people that call up some of the best analysis and well thought out interactions with the guest host or Rush.

Then you hear on panels that people pay for these moron lobbyists and consultants come on and sound like fools on network television. And then you listen to someone call in on this show. And I think it's simple, not only is it the the love that Rush has for this country, but the respect he has for you.

And the respect people have at the EIB Network for Americans and how they know. We know the integral part of our survival, you play not just in the country, but in our future, and it's amazing that politicians miss that. It's amazing that you would get to a point in your life, like Governor Cuomo, that you would believe. You don't need the voters of New York City, just shut up and do what you're told. It's shocking to me.

Because this is an invite, this is the environment I work in. Where we we got to print this out, a listener Senate. Do you really think that in in Washington, D.C., or in my case, Harrisburg is our capital here and in Pennsylvania?

Do you really think people are going, oh, we got to save this and read it? A voter Senate seat? That's the problem. That's how it all went off the rails. So you look at some of the things that Rush likes about President Donald Trump, they have a lot in common.

They respect you and me. And that's the key, and that's the element, in my opinion, that has been removed from government. Because when you're drunk on power, like Gov. Tom Wolf, Governor Cuomo, Governor Nuisance in California, when you get drunk on power, you lose respect for people.

The Rush Limbaugh Show 802 eight to 28 82. Open line Friday. Very quickly, I have to share this with you. Mr. Sterling was adamant, adamant about me sharing this this powerful Christmas moment with you, that this is one of those stories that will be handed down from generation to generation.

A man in Grand Haven, Michigan. Sued his parents for getting rid of his pornography collection. He's won a lawsuit and now he can seek compensation. It's just a it's a wonderful story of ups and downs and pain and sacrifice and now victory. U.S. District Judge Paul Maloney ruled in favor of David working. Who said his parents had no right to throw out his pornographic collection. He lived at their Grand Haven home for about 10 months after a divorce, after a divorce.

He was. Yes, he lived in their home. Yes, I get it. Well, that's because that's a great example, Mr. Synodal, of why judges are very flawed individuals. He lived at their home for 10 months after the divorce before moving to Muncie, Indiana, and during that time, I guess he had he had dragged as you know, it's funny you would have thought, though, that the maybe the wife would have asked for the election in the.

But she didn't. She let him keep it.

But you see, it's these Christmas moments.

How could you not have Christmas moments? We often talk about the level of but history that goes on and how the news media puts its giant week. Scaredy cat arms around liberals, I want to give you an example of what butt kissing sounds like and keep in mind, keep in mind, every time Joe Biden has to do a hardcore interview, he goes on late night TV, just like with Hillary. Remember, the only way you could the only way you got an answer out of Hillary is, oh, yeah, I saw that on Ellen.

Yeah, I saw Jimmy Kimmel. He was kissing somebody. Here's Stephen Colbert, probably, oh, my gosh. He's definitely the top butt kisser on the left. I want you to listen to these hard hitting questions for the pretend elect, Mr. Joe Biden.

Now you have a new job. You are about to be the most powerful person in the world. And my job to talk about what's going on in the world, what is President Biden going to put into the world. But because you understand it, you also have to understand how futile the spot is for them to resist the reality of the Electoral College.

Lindsey Graham, Lindsey Graham, a friend of yours, he has said things about you nicer than anything.

Has anything been said about me? I wish somebody would say the things about me that Lindsey Graham said about you.

That's not going to happen.

Do you think you guys can patch it up and work together? Now, you once said in your own memoir, the role I have always felt most at home in is Dr. Biden.

Now, some people have recently take it upon themselves to question that title of yours. Do you have any reaction to those people?

Yeah, that was such a surprise. It caught me by surprise. Well, I did not see that one coming. No, no. And, you know, it was really the tone of it that I think that, you know, he called me kiddo. And one of the things I'm most proud of is, is my doctor as a husband who loves this person.

Did you ever, you know, want to, like, get out of length of, wow, how is he even surviving this interview?

This is tough. You know, this this is really it actually.

If you read the unauthorized biography of Joe Biden, which I have a very short review on Ken Matthews Media Dotcom, you'll find out that not only in China, the Ukraine and Russia, Joe made a fool of himself and information was leaked from those meetings when he was VP. A lot of the people on the world stage kind of think he's a bonehead. No, truly, truly, the the footnotes are there. They're like, oh, God, here comes Joe Biden, and I think that happens because the news media.

Treats the left like this, so when they get out into reality.

They make fools of themselves, they're so used to being to having interviews like this toolchain and go full cornershop on these people, the answer is no, no, no, no.

But but there's some of these anyway. It was just the tone.

I've been suppressing my Irishness for a long time.

It's always a smart thing to do.

It seems like as long as the both of you have both been in Washington, if you're just tuning in, you're listening to the hard hitting journalism of late night show host. And that kind of drives the information that the Democrats get. If you may remember, there was a time when people used to say, I get all my news from Jon Stewart. Because, you know, he's a straight shooter, he's honest, he's well researched, and those are grown men and women doing that.

You wonder why people that did vote for Biden voted for Biden? Because if you don't hear anything about Trump except racist, racist, racist, racist, meaning eeny, meeny, miny, and then they're even convincing college kids that if Joe doesn't get in, there'll be riots. That's another thing that angered me. That's another thing the left does that really ticked me off. That constant threat of you better do this.

We don't want to have to show up and start breaking windows. I really think these people don't understand anything about the American psyche or culture. Clinton and whether the slings and arrows of that town, you're about to step into something completely different right now and as you've known, people who you thought that you could rely on sometimes turn on you, what are you going to do and how will you sustain each other for the attacks that you know are coming your way?

Case in point, I know you want to be as bipartisan reach across the aisle, but as much as.

Oh, my, I can't I can't take anymore but that. There you go.

When anybody says to you the news media treated these treated Trump no different than they treated Obama, they're smoking more crack than Hunter probably for saying that seriously. And I hope he stopped by now. 822, 2082. It is open line Friday. Let's go to Steve. Steve is in Springfield, Massachusetts. Welcome. You're on the Rush Limbaugh Show. Steve.

Hi. How are you doing? The thing is, the reason I'm calling as a conservative that originally dismissed Edward Snowden as a liberal rat who betrayed our intelligence secrets. After doing some more research about him, I found out that he was actually a loyal Democrat who was disgusted with the spying that was being done under the Bush administration. He was a loyal Democrat. He voted for Barack Obama, hoping that things would get better. Well, actually, they got hundreds of times worse.

And it was James Clapper lying repeatedly. That's when he dumped his whole CIA leaks. That shows how the CIA is spying on us. Now, with all that has happened, with Trump being spied on and stuff like that, I think Eric Snowden is a hero and yet he's a computer wizard. If anybody could get to the bottom of what's going on in the CIA, computer wise, it's this guy.

I am so glad you called Steve. You laid that out perfectly that there are and there there are now.

And there were people on the left and the right who had the same concerns that a lot of Americans have now about whether it's the deep state or the CIA having way too much power.

They've always had too much power. I have to be careful because I'd like to get home alive today. They always they have always had too much power. The CIA and you're right, people like Wikipedias, Julian Assange and Edward Snowden and others have called them out. And I would love to see a task force, a presidential pardon and a task force of what you said, Steve. You put you put Edward on there.

You put Julian Assange on there and some other white hat techno geeks, hackers, white hat hackers. And they drilled down to the bottom of this Dominion thing because I don't know if we can trust a lot of the people that helped Mueller frame President Trump. If there's anything that concerns me about the last four years, it's the fact that people I once looked to and had respect for people who lead the FBI, people who lead these intelligence organizations, they don't have our back.

And that really concerns me. But I would I would love to see that.

So glad you called. This is The Rush Limbaugh Show. We'll be right back.

One week from Christmas, the Rush Limbaugh Show, the EIB Network open line Friday. My name is Ken Matthews. Rush is planning on being back Monday. And I want to give you a quick update.

Senator elect Tommy d'Aboville, Republican, Alabama.

Soon to be senator, I believe he's sworn in on the 3rd of January. He also suggested that he'll probably challenge the Electoral College on January 6th, coming just three days after he's sworn in as a senator.

And I'm quoting him, he said, I'm going to tell you, don't give up on him, meaning Trump. Tuberville is the former coach of Auburn University's Auburn University football team. Said of Trump, Don't give up on Trump. OK, so I think over the holidays, we're going to see little flashes of this that should get you pumped up now remember?

You will experience a barrage of propaganda, that's what the news media does, that's their job, just like social media to get you to think the way they do, to get you to behave the way Democrats need you to behave, whether it's about covid or President Trump.

So remember, you may have to go to a Rush Limbaugh dotcom or a Newsmax or Breitbart or Epoch Times to get the scoop. But there are people out there that'll give you the straight scoop. And then you can stay plugged in, stay positive, stay informed, engaged and optimistic. I see a win. But then I'm an optimist. Let's go to Ron in Cincinnati, Ohio. Hi, Ron. You're on the Rush Limbaugh Show. Hey, thank you for taking my call, Ken.

First and foremost, God bless Rush. God bless Rush Limbaugh and and also God bless his audience, the prayer warriors who not only are praying for us, but also praying for our nation. Right now, what I'd like to say is you've been your theme has been where are the courageous members of Congress right now? And you say that in your thinking, you know, the Republicans. But we're in a really interesting moment in time where we potentially might find ourselves in a bipartisan moment.

If, you know, you got the the cyber attacks, you've got the stolen election, you've got the China intelligence breach into Congress. But what about if we can just convert five Democrats in this next Congress? Suddenly we're looking at Speaker McCarthy. And imagine if we had a Speaker McCarthy, along with Mike Pence in there in Congress on January 6th to decide where we're going to go. Wow. On that. Let's work on that. I like the way, Congressman.

Yeah, I like the way you think, Ron. No, that's a great point.

And you know, the other thing that confuses me and thank you for your calling and have a merry Christmas before I forget the other thing that confuses me. And it really shouldn't. But you would think that even a handful of Democrats would be concerned about things like the conflicts with the Biden family. That they would be concerned about the connections to China and the and the hard drive and and the quid pro quo, and because this makes their guy compromised.

And if he's compromised, he's vulnerable and if he's vulnerable, he weakens us. If he's our leader and he could be taken down by propaganda. And being compromised, then he's put us all at risk, has he not, if he's the commander in chief, if you're a U.S. Marine, do you want a commander in chief that's compromised? Or whose son is compromised or whose brother is compromised. I can't believe more Democrats haven't spoken up on this and on the Dominion issue, whether you hate Trump or not.

I would think Democrats would be outraged, all these people in these areas that went in thinking their vote was going to count.

Think about the millions of Democrats that voted legally and the right way. They were just as abused by a stolen election. And by the Democrats, because for every fraudulent ballot, that invalidates a legitimate voter, so by the millions, Republicans and Democrats were disenfranchised.

By the people that were behind this this voter theft and dominion and the mail in ballot changing all the rules at the last minute, it's a lot to think about. I like the way Ron thinks, though, and that could happen, you know, if anybody could bring someone over. I definitely think it's President Trump, I mean, he did it with prison reform, he did it with a lot of things. He did it with trade.

If anybody can bring someone over the aisle, this is the Rush Limbaugh Show. My name's Ken Matthews. We'll be right back.

So. Thanks again for tuning in to the show, and Russia is planning on coming back Monday. My name is Ken Matthews if you are in the fight. I want to thank you if you're one of those people that have stepped up to weigh in and you're one of these people that's helping find the truth about what many of us believe is a stolen election.

Thank you for doing that, stepping up.

And I heard Todd yesterday talking about people getting involved in politics at a local level and stepping up. I think sometimes we forget.

That does take a lot of courage. It takes a lot of courage, and when you're doing it well and when you're doing it right, it is very impressive. So just because a lot of us think Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are scumbags. Doesn't mean that you can't get elected and change the whole dynamic, so I just think this is an exciting time in our history. All around. I hope you had a meaningful Hanukkah. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, a very merry Christmas.

And don't forget, any gift to the Bidens has to be under a million dollars or it has to go through Hunter. God bless you. No, we're not going to do that. I was talking about my mistake, God bless you. God bless America and thank you so much for tuning in.

You guys are a great audience. And don't forget to check out Rush Limbaugh dot com.
