Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast. And here we are back at it again. Ladies and gentlemen, Rush Limbaugh back for broadcast excellence on Open Line Friday.

[00:01:14]

Let's go ahead and hit it and just make it official Monday from US Southern Command in sunny south Florida. It's open line Friday. That's right. That means when we go to the phones, you can talk about whatever you want to talk about. And by the way, never have I meant that more than I mean it today. Whatever you want to talk about, have at it. The telephone number is eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two.

[00:01:39]

The e-mail address L Rushville at the EIB Net us. It says here that the president elect, the alleged president elect, what the hell is going on in Georgia? This is unreal what's going on in Georgia. And I am going to try to make sense of it all. Joe Biden says that he broke his foot. After being in the shower, he was chasing the dog and he pulled the dog's tail and that well, he told Jake Tapper, wait, and we've got we got that interview with Jake Tapper.

[00:02:17]

He did. There's another gold mine soundbite in that interview that we'll have for you coming up in just a second. But he told Tapper more details about he supposedly how he broke his foot playing with his dog. He broke his foot after a shower when he pulled the dog's tail, now, folks, only an idiot runs after a dog trying to pull the dog's tail. That's why I'm inclined to believe Biden. I don't think I I think it's probably telling me the truth about this.

[00:02:51]

All right, folks, there is so much happening here with this election fraud story that it has been a challenge for me because I've been somewhat distracted the past week even longer than that. A challenge even for me to put all these pieces together. So the first question of what the hell is that Georgia video? It's amazing. Can it be explained away by the left? I don't think they can explain this away. And who are these people in the video?

[00:03:30]

What we now know the name of one of the people in the video. This is the suitcase video suitcase underneath the table video and all the Republican monitors are gone. Here come the suitcases with all the ballots. And we now know the name of one of the people engaged in this. This is exactly this is exactly the kind of evidence that we need and we need it pronto. We are running out of time here. Somebody is going to have to come forward and either claim they were just counting stored legal votes or tell us what the con was and who ordered it.

[00:04:02]

This is it's going to have to happen this way. This smoking gun video, how long have we been told, folks? That the Trump team has no evidence of voter fraud. We've been told this since the first allegation of it was made. Despite the hundreds of sworn affidavits, the hours of sworn testimony before legislatures in Georgia, Nevada and elsewhere, and how about all of these people testifying? You know, C-SPAN has had in all kinds of television networks have had these people, average, ordinary Americans, coming forward and explaining the witnesses and explaining what they saw.

[00:04:43]

It has been fantastic to watch if you're into the civics aspect of this. They have been giving testimony before legislatures in Georgia, Nevada and elsewhere, and now we have a smoking gun or rather smoking suitcases and the media and the rest of the Democrats still out there saying there's no evidence and I'm not surprised they're trying to run the stall there, run the clock out there in the prevent defense here, folks. They've just got to let the clock run out.

[00:05:18]

What is it, 10 days from today? The electors vote. That's that's their timeline right now. Media. Rest of the Democrats, no zingers, no evidence. Even know what evidence means, yes, of course they know what evidence means, they're lying through their teeth about it. Now, here's the thing, in case you haven't heard.

[00:05:41]

During a hearing on the Georgia Senate at the Georgia Senate yesterday, Rudy Giuliani, the Trump team, played a video that showed at least four cases of ballots pulled out from under a table. Four cases, suitcases, these are not small little attaché cases, these are four suitcases, at least they contain ballots. They were pulled out from under a table. The ballots were then counted and scanned while there were no partisan pollwatchers present, as is required by law.

[00:06:22]

That's written kind of weird, as is the poll watchers are required to be there as required by law, and they weren't there. The poll watchers in the media had been told to go home because of a water main break that we now know never happened and they say there's nothing to see here. They say that this is standard operating procedure, a lied about water main break to clear the place out. Jacqui, pick an attorney, Trump legal team volunteer, said that the unobserved and illegal counting went on from 10 30 p.m until one a.m. Jackie Pich said the number of ballots counted after the observers left is beyond the margin of victory for Plug's who chases his dog's tail.

[00:07:13]

In fact, each box consisted of about six thousand ballots, four boxes, one and up to about 24000 votes, Biden's margin of victory is fewer than 13. I see why this matters. It matters one heck of a lot. Now, Rooney said in TV interviews later, the same thing happened in six other states. So here comes the question or the questions that everybody's asking. Where's the FBI, where's the DOJ? Georgia Democrats have been caught trying to nullify the votes of over 75 million Americans in our premier law enforcement agency is nowhere to be found.

[00:08:06]

I know Bill Barnes is no evidence of fraud in an interview with the AP back on Tuesday. He said Tuesday the Justice Department's not uncovered evidence of systemic voter fraud that would change the outcome of the election, he said, quote, There's a. Growing tendency to use the criminal justice system is sort of a default fix all and people don't like something. They want the Department of Justice to come in and investigate. Oh, no, you don't get to do that.

[00:08:35]

We just went through four years of the FBI being corrupted and used to spread the essence of a political coup. And now we are told we're not we're not going to allow this monkeying around here with the data, we're not going to have the DOJ come in and fix every problem. How about when the DOJ is the source of the problem?

[00:08:58]

Well, the FBI is part of a Department of Justice, how about when the FBI is part of. The problem? So you see, folks, the theft of a presidential election, it's not important enough to investigate, however.

[00:09:17]

I just it's it's it's it's extremely frustrating to Trump legal team led by Rudy Jenah, Ellis said in response to Barr's comments. With all due respect to the attorney general, there hasn't been any semblance of a Department of Justice investigation. We have gathered ample evidence of illegal voting in at least six states. Which they've not examined, we have many witnesses swearing under oath that they saw crimes being committed. In connection with voter fraud, as far as we know, not a single one has been interviewed by the DOJ.

[00:09:53]

Justice Department also hasn't audited any voting machines or use their subpoena power to determine the truth. Now, that's an interesting point. Now, the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, wants the secretary of state. To start auditing signatures now, but don't misunderstand what that is. It's not the signatures on the ballots. I'll have to explain what he's asking for as the program unfolds. We are still at the setting the table stage.

[00:10:24]

Of what's coming on the program today. And let me continue to do that. Let's talk about Trump and his role in this. Because as is the case always, he has to deal with so much pressure, he has to deal with a maze, a labyrinth of pressures that are coming at him from every direction he has to. For example, he has to reassure his base that he's doing all humanly possible to ensure that votes are counted and fraud is rooted out.

[00:10:59]

He has to do that. His base is demanding it. He has to do it. He has to reassure his base that he's doing everything he can. To ensure that our votes are counted, the fraud seems to be mind boggling. We've got sudden nocturnal troves of votes in suitcases. We have missing ballots. We have improper absentee ballots. We have computer questions. We have violations of state voting law. We have out of state voters. We got dead voters.

[00:11:35]

We got voters voting three and four times, we've got the Zuckerberg 350 million dollar con. That's a separate story on how Facebook has tried to rig the game. Here's another point. Time is of the essence here for Trump to do whatever it is he's going to do. We're running out of time, folks. We've got 10 days until the Electoral College. Assembles and votes. State officials will certify officially the votes and the states will then choose the electors to vote in accordance with their state totals.

[00:12:18]

So in enough of these five disputed states and those states remain Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin and Georgia, either a judge will have to throw out the vote. And order recounts or the state legislatures are going to have to step in and pick new electors. The magic number is 270. That's where Trump has to get. Doesn't matter if it's 271 to seventy five percent to 70 is the magic number. I think in order to force the issue now, remember, I am the guy.

[00:12:56]

That said, Trump needs to go to Georgia and do rallies for these two senators now and he needs to do mega rallies, he needs to not let go of this.

[00:13:04]

He needs to keep the energy alive. Yes, yes, yes, well, we'll get into Lin Wood in this business of people shouldn't vote for the two Senate. This is a lot to wade through out there. I mean, there's really a lot to wade through and of course, Fox, one of the big challenges, you know, I don't want anybody to misunderstand me here. It's getting harder and harder. Can I have the attention of mainstream media?

[00:13:26]

This a book. We're going to love this quote for me.

[00:13:29]

Mainstream media, stop what you're doing, here comes the pull quote, ready three to one as a conservative, it's getting harder and harder to not look like a kook. I just just kidding, but now all of the stuff that's floating around out there that is is it's impossible to to to keep up with because there's a lot of it. There are so many theories and all of them have a trace of validity to them. And the left is doing everything it can to make every one of them appear to be right out of Cookeville.

[00:14:07]

And so people that believe these things have got to run the risk or weather the storm of being called a kook, because that's how they're trying to discredit all this. They know, for example, mainstream Republicans don't want anything to do with cukes, racism, bigotry, homophobia, whatever. And so all they have to do is run them, say every one of these theories that we're hearing to explain voting for aren't just Kook City, it's just Coupeville.

[00:14:32]

And so they're trying to get mainstream Republicans and they don't have to work very hard on this, by the way.

[00:14:38]

Mainstream Republicans have a patent on staying silent. I think the the attempt to call these people kooks is almost as effective as calling them racists.

[00:14:54]

You disagree with that, you look like. You mean the suitcase video, they can call it kookie. They can say that there's a legitimate explanation for it and never explain what it is or they can just not show the video. I mean, what do we think they're going to do? They haven't. They have a Trump speech there. Trump gave a speech on election fraud. It may be one of his best speeches. They're not covering it, but they're ripping it to shreds.

[00:15:26]

They didn't cover it. They didn't broadcast it. But see an engine, they're ripping it to shreds. And the same thing here with that suitcase video, if nobody sees it, does it exist? And if they want to go further and claim that it's just another kook theory from Lin Wood, I don't believe what we're having to or whoever they want to lay it off on. So this is this is one of their techniques here, is is to chalk all of this stuff up to kook ism and a bunch of brave people are going to have to just ignore that.

[00:16:07]

Now, Trump doesn't care and he needs to be the guiding light of influence on this. He has shown himself to be fearless no matter what he's accused of, and that's what this is going to take and it's going to take the Republican Party joining this effort. So we got five disputed states here, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, a judge is going to have to throw out the vote and order recounts or the state legislators are going to step in and pick new electors.

[00:16:37]

They need daily press conferences all next week. They need clear graphs, they need charts and graphs up there to show how they cheated. Six out of 10 Americans believe fraud occurred. We need seven or eight. Of tend to get public support right now, six out of 10, they need a chart that shows seven or eight out of 10 Americans believe they were cheated, believe fraud occurred. That will get public support to remind judges to do the right thing.

[00:17:07]

But they're going to have to work at this. It isn't just going to happen, is the point.

[00:17:10]

I got to take a break, folks. Sit tight. We'll be back with more broadcast excellence right after this.

[00:17:16]

Hi, welcome back. Rush Limbaugh open line Friday. Looking forward to chatting with you. A telephone number, 800 two eight two two eight eight two. So in an interview on CNN with Democrat operative Jake Tapper. Joe Biden claimed that he once told Barack Hussein Obama. That should the two of them have a fundamental disagreement on a moral principle? That he, Biden, would resign and claim illness. Why would why would Biden have to be the one he's the vice president, who cares?

[00:17:56]

Now, what what would Sigmund Freud say about Biden bringing that up now that he wasn't through? Here's audio somebody number one, another segment of the interview with Democrat operative Jake Tapper. Joe Biden on CNN last night.

[00:18:14]

When we disagree, it'll be just like it's so far.

[00:18:16]

It's been just like a Moroccan idea waiting for the tape. Stop the tape. I figure this is about if he were to have a disagreement with Comey. Tommy Harris, his vice presidential running mate, when we disagree, will be just like it. So far it's been just like Barack and I did. It's in private. She'll say, I think we should do A, B, C or D, and I'll say, I don't I like I don't like B and C and it's OK.

[00:18:40]

But and like I told Barack, if if I read something where there's a fundamental disagreement we have based on a moral principle.

[00:18:49]

I'll I'll develop some disease and say I have to resign.

[00:18:53]

I'll I'll develop some disease and say I have to resign if she's the veep.

[00:19:04]

He's the president. You know that I don't believe that, but but regardless, and he's going to resign if they have a fundamental moral disagreement, which is guaranteed, by the way.

[00:19:18]

He would resign after having developed some disease. Folks, there's something going on, he repeats this about Obama now talks about it when Cumi and she's there now, she's off mic, off camera. They have a camera on her. And she looks kind of stunned when when Plug's says this. But what do you make of that he would. Get some disease. Claim illness. And resign if they have a fundamental disagreement. Why would he be the one to resign?

[00:20:02]

That's like when he was vice president, why would he be the one to resign?

[00:20:05]

He's now president elect, allegedly. Something's up here, you know as well as I do, you know, this business of Joe Biden getting a disease and resigning is exactly. One of the very real possibilities that has already been set up to get rid of the guy, except I wouldn't think he would know about it, maybe does. The truth is this, if there were ever any disagreement between Commy. And Biton. It would be Biden who would have to resign and claim illness, not Harris, you know why?

[00:20:44]

Because she is Obama's surrogate in the White House, not Obama, not Biden. Do not make the mistake of thinking that Biden is Obama's guy. In the White House, he's not he's a placeholder. He's just there for a short amount of time, Cammy Harris. Is who the dream is about, she could never have been elected. She didn't even get a single vote in the Democrat primaries. I'm sorry you've heard me say this, but it's it's really important.

[00:21:12]

She got out of the primaries before a single vote had been cast. She got out when the fundraising dried up. She didn't get one vote, folks. Not one expression of solidarity or support for her. Yet she's going to end up being president. If this fraud is not corrected, she's going to end up being is going to be the most far left wacko, communist related president that we have ever. And a person who could never get elected in this country.

[00:21:42]

She's proven it. She has proven she could never get elected. She ran the Democrat primaries, didn't get a single vote yet. She's Obama surrogate. And we know now that Obama has been pulling the strings on everything the DOJ, the Democrat Party, the FBI have been doing and trying to do the Trump for the past four years. Obama has been the puppet master. He's been in charge of all of it. He is in charge of Cammy Harris being chosen veep.

[00:22:12]

She is the surrogate for Obama, not Biden. The only question is, does Biden know it? It doesn't matter if he knows it because there's nothing he can do to stop it. Just a curiosity point. In fact, it might even not take a disagreement. They might just insist that Biden go ahead and get an illness, it wouldn't be hard to fake just to get him out of the way. For a few months, they probably want some kind of front in there, but at some point this is all going to happen.

[00:22:46]

OK, now back to the election fraud business. Where I left off with this is the next 10 days are crucial. Ladies and gentlemen. Do not get mad at me here, I'm just you could disagree with me all you want. You may think that I'm I'm not right about this. And you might want to say what a you know, you haven't even been here in a week and a half, so what you can see if you want to say that to me, have at it.

[00:23:16]

But I'm thinking. Trump needs the Trump team. They need nonstop bombshells if they're going to go to the next level. There has to be a next level. And I hearken back. And I got a note from Rudy, I should share this with you, I got a note from Rudy. Rudy said, you know, you really deflated us that day. I said, oh, no, I didn't want to deflate you.

[00:23:44]

You did when you when you said that we had to come up with some bombshells. Well, I said, Rudy, I just looked at the press conferences, all I did. And you'd made it look like you had a whole bunch of them lying in wait for that press conference. You in Sydney every time, primarily with Sydney. Every time you guys got through, I was thinking, here comes the proof. I was all jazzed, I was thinking, this is it, they've got it, and then there wasn't it.

[00:24:14]

And it was a little deflating to me, too, I wasn't trying to deflate you guys and I wasn't trying to depress. I'm just saying this is how I saw it. And I'm probably not the only one who saw it that way. I mean, the things that were said in that press conference about the fraud and the proof of it. And how deeply it went. And how much of it there was, I fully expected somebody to join that press conference with the evidence, somebody involved in it, that didn't happen.

[00:24:48]

So that's why. You know, I was expecting bombshells and I didn't get any bombshells, and when I didn't get any bombshells as well, and that's when Rudy Cinzano you kind of that was very deflating, especially from you. Well, I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to deflate anybody. I'm just.

[00:25:04]

Sharing with everybody my reaction to it, but I'm going to come back to Bombshell's because we got 10 days now other than Georgia, we've got we got 10 days and Trump and his team need nonstop bombshells if we're going to move this to the next level.

[00:25:24]

Remember, this is now a public opinion issue. It's going to need that as well as everything else that they're doing or trying to do in court. Does I'll tell you what I fear and Mr. Snidely, tell me if you disagree with this. No, honestly, I think. That they've got got to be very careful how I say this, there's a lot of people. That really believe that all this fraud happened. And they're probably right. If nothing's done about it.

[00:26:04]

There's going to be disappointment. There might have been I think Trump may even risk a backlash among some swing supporters because, look, everybody is being revved up for this. Now, I know Trump at a recent White House holiday party was saying things that made it sound like he's resigned.

[00:26:31]

Having lost and conceded, he hasn't said it, but. The way he was speaking, it could you wouldn't be wrong if that's your interpretation. All of this leads us to Georgia. Georgia, 30 days, the runoff elections, there's a huge electoral mess going on in Georgia, which is what we led the program with.

[00:26:58]

There is massive division on our side about what to do in Georgia. Lin Wood. Is suggesting that conservatives not vote until these two senators acknowledge the fraud, get on the page with the fraud, join the effort to prove the fraud, because we don't want senators we don't want Republicans elected who are not going to advance the cause of election dignity. Constitutional dignity, and he's dead serious about it. But if that happens, if we lose Georgia, if we lose these two Senate seats.

[00:27:46]

Fox. The filibuster is dead, the Supreme Court will be packed and we will forever, well, forever, I mean, foreseeable future, lose it. Make no mistake, the Democrats will get rid of the Electoral College, bye bye bye bye, Electoral College, it'll be a pure popular vote election and that means they never lose as long as they hold New York and California and Michigan, the other states, they never lose. And if they if they proceed in the direction they're going toward winning Texas.

[00:28:25]

But they want the Electoral College gone, they don't like it, it is it's a direct affront to communist and socialist thinking. And they will wipe it out. We are headed for unconstitutional ways of admitting new states to the union for the purposes of getting new left wing senators, so we make Washington, D.C. a state, we make Puerto Rico a state. Those two places get two senators each. So for brand new Democrats. Piled on top of the number of Democrats who are already there.

[00:29:04]

Combined with packing the court. Then these people, once all of that happens, then you watch how rapidly they make a move on the First and Second Amendment. You know, they've already made substantial progress on the on the First Amendment just in terms of religious freedom and association. I mean, you've got these governors out there saying they've got to cancel Christmas now. And you you can't go to church, you can't go to funerals, can't continue this stuff here.

[00:29:32]

You can riot, you can protest, you can loot. You can I'm not making it up. You can do all that. But you can't go to church. They're already making direct moves on the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, with the guns, you wait, folks, it's only going to be a matter of time. That's what's at stake if we lose Georgia. So Trump has to fight for honest voting. He has to assure his base that he is not rolling over.

[00:30:02]

He has to hope that more of these fraud stories increase in the next 10 days. But at the same time, can't run the risk of blowing up the system of honoring electors without overwhelming proof. While convincing Sydney Powell and Lin Wood not to destroy the last chance to save the Constitution in Georgia, because that's really what's at stake, I saw that, you know, urging Republicans not to vote for these students. Well, I don't understand what in the world is going.

[00:30:35]

And then I heard the explanation and I said that's a little too purist for what's called for now. I think if Trump. Fights nobly and he knows how to do that. What happens if he if these bombshells, you know, there need to be these bombshells, there need to be bombshells to move public opinion. I mean, we're hearing about all the bombshells.

[00:31:09]

We're hearing about the suitcase video and all this other stuff. That stuff has to somehow find its way into the public domain. Because we've got to stop the certification of the election on December 14th, that's the date 10 days from now that has to be stopped. If it's not stopped, then what trumps at a crossroads? Win the election, save our system, lead a Magga army of the aggrieve to take the house in twenty twenty two of the White House in twenty twenty four.

[00:31:45]

Here's the sad thing so far, no one in the Trump movement, it's not so far, no one in the Republican Party, I don't want to call a Republican Party to Trump. The Trump movement, because they're not, but that's my point. They haven't shown his defiance of the swamp and his ability to fight under great odds, he's actually still in this alone and his legacy and future hinge on walking through these minefields in the next 30 days.

[00:32:21]

And it is a minefield.

[00:32:22]

All right. Let me take a break or a little long. We'll be back and continue right after this.

[00:32:28]

And greetings and welcome back. Rush Limbaugh executing assigned duties flawlessly as America's real anchorman phone number if you want to be on the program's 802 eight two two eight eight two email address. Rushville at EIB Net Dot U.S.. So we had a call up there and a guy didn't hang on, which kind of disappointed me. I want to take the call because I think he's probably representative of some who misunderstood me. I said it's getting tougher and tougher, said mainstream media.

[00:32:58]

Got a pull quote for you. It's getting tougher and tougher. To not be seen as a kook, not because of what we're doing, folks, because of what they are doing, they are positioning, we've got voter fraud, we've got reams of evidence, we've got video. We have all kinds of evidence that there is massive voter fraud. Our constitution has been undermined. And here we come along and we show evidence. We've got video. We've got shocking video of suitcases being pulled out from underneath tables with twenty four thousand ballots, fake ballots.

[00:33:37]

This is called Coupeville to point this out. This is called Kookmin. Sorry. How do you avoid being a kook? It's I think it's the latest attempt that the left is making to discredit or impugn those of us on the right. It's like playing the race card. There's going to be the kook card on the run. I'm just telling you that there aren't a whole lot of mainstream Republicans that want to be thought of as kooks. In fact, I'll tell you this.

[00:34:06]

There's a whole lot of mainstream Republicans who think that some conservatives are kooks. I'm talking about the swamp dwelling Republicans, the establishment Republicans.

[00:34:17]

That's all I was doing, all I was doing was warning you, this is the next disparagement that is headed our way, because folks, they've got nothing else. They can't they can't like in every when it comes to issues, they cannot defeat us on issues. So they don't even try to outargue us on issues. What do they do? They destroy our credibility. They impugn us, they call us racist, sexist, because whatever now they're going to add cook to it and they're going to apply cook.

[00:34:48]

Too as many mainstream conservatives as they can. It's what the left look, the left is not interested in winning debates as a means of advancing their ideology. They don't think they should have to. It's an insult to them to say they have to win debates, what the hell is that? What we believe is what is we're going to make it so we're going to implement it. We're going to mandate it. The hell with this business of winning debates over it.

[00:35:17]

The hell with that. That's their attitude about this. And because they can't win the arguments, folks, we have demonstrated that for 30 years, it's one of the reasons I'm so damn frustrated over this election, they cannot beat us on issues that Biden didn't beat anybody on issues. The media didn't beat anybody on issues, have the media win this election for Biden, all they did was destroy Donald Trump day in and day out for four years. They didn't defeat us on issues.

[00:35:50]

We own the issues.

[00:35:55]

Now they're coming along and they're adding to this entire strategically they have. Of ignoring issues on the basis that they shouldn't even have to debate them, because it's not a question of that. And they're now continuing the disparagement and the impugning the criticism. What have you. If if a Republican had postulated before the 2016 election any of these schemes. Or conspiracies that have come true, they would have been called a kook. I'm telling you right now, if a Republican, any of them had predicted before the 2016 election.

[00:36:40]

Any of the deep state schemes that have taken place in the last four years, the coup, the corruption, the FBI, if somebody coming along and predicted that. They would have and were, by the way, called a cook. Kookiness as far as the left making allegations renormalize now, which is sadly my only point fastest three hours in media, I really intended to get into the phones in the first hour.

[00:37:12]

I really, really did. But the best laid plans, that just didn't happen. So I'm I'll make it up to you in the next two hours. Well, that's the objective. And that is the that's the goal. Sit tight, my friends. We got much more straight ahead after a brief, obscene traffic break here at the top of the hour.

[00:37:30]

Be right back.

[00:39:34]

Hi there, how are you? Greetings, my friends, great to have you here. It's great to be back in the great to be with you.

[00:39:40]

Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone on Friday morning from a Southern Command in sunny south Florida. It's open line Friday. That's right, my friends. Open line Friday meeting when we go to the phones talking about whatever you want. I really I really intended to get the phones in the first hour and just I got off on these things and I got to finish my point. I got to make sure that I'm understood. So it took a little more time than I hoped.

[00:40:10]

And I figured, in fact, I got a couple of good emails. I checked them during the break. Rush, what are you what are you blaming all this on Trump for? I'm not blaming anything on Trump. One other question was, why are you saying Trump has to do this? That's a better question. Because let me tell you folks, what's going to happen here if the if the Republican Party loses the Senate. Who do you think is going to get blamed for it?

[00:40:42]

Donald Trump. The Democrats are going to blame him and they're going to have catcalls and laughter and they're going to have all these funny little stories about how his influence is gone. How he probably never had any he was just a cult leader. I mean, you you all know what's coming if we lose the Senate.

[00:41:04]

They're going to take the occasion of that loss to totally dump on Trump and blame him for it, and when Trump gets blamed for it, guess what else gets blamed for it? The Trump agenda, Magga. And this will be their effort to do away with it once and for all. Now, that is unacceptable because the Maga agenda is the only thing that's seen the Republican Party have any chance at dominant success. I mean, look at three Supreme Court justices.

[00:41:34]

Look at Trump's economic agenda for the covid-19 virus. Hit my folks. We were on such a roll as a country, it was unprecedented in most of our lifetimes. The the change in the Supreme Court was just profound, and you look at these never. That's exactly why they claimed that they wanted to be conservative and now Trump did it and they can't even support that. But that was a major and winning the fight for Amy County Barrett to be put on the court at the time she was.

[00:42:10]

Now, you can sit there, not you, I know you all get it. But believe me, the Democrats have to destroy. Everybody on our side who is successful, be they television personalities, be the dominant radio media, media figures, be they elected Republicans, whoever they are, they have to be destroyed. They're never argued with or debated. None of that. They're just destroyed right now. The Democrats fear mega mega united the Republican Party to the point of 70 million plus votes.

[00:42:50]

They didn't win this election without the fraud and everybody knows it. Seventy million boat Trump got more votes in this election, he did in 2016, he built his base. The Republican Party showed 95 percent support for Donald Trump. That's the kind of stuff that scares the living daylights out of Democrats. And communists and the opposition, and they have to deal with it and the best way they can think to deal with it. Is to hope that this Georgia runoff.

[00:43:25]

Results in two Republicans losing and they can blame Trump for it, blame the Maga agenda, they can say, you know what, the mega agenda never did amount to anything. And this proves it the minute Trump's out of the picture. Look at what happened to the Republican Party. They get their senses about. That's what will be said the minute Trump's out of the picture. The minute Trump loses the presidency, then the Republican Party feels free to go back and be who they really are.

[00:43:54]

And they'll get praised for losing day in and day out. Remember the Republican objective in the old days lose with honor Senator Hugh Scott, you remember him, the senator from Pennsylvania, Hugh Scott, smoked a pipe out there. And Bob Michael lose with honor.

[00:44:13]

That's how you kept your place at the cocktail parties and the receptions. I'm not kidding. So I can I can tell you right now that all of this I have just predicted is going to happen. They would love nothing more than to be able. To blame the Maga agenda for the Trump loss in the White House, not a Trump loss in Georgia. Oh, yeah. And then in their minds, in their view, they would be despatching, doing away with the scariest opposition they have ever had.

[00:44:50]

Believe me, folks take away the personal dislike for Trump. And you're left with one thing these Democrats are scared to death of make America great again. They're scared to death of put America first again. They're scared to death of keep America great again. They are scared to death of the Constitution becoming the primary objective freedom for the individual in this country. If they can get rid of those things, if they can disparage those things, then they will do it at the drop of a hat.

[00:45:23]

So this is why I say that. It's incumbent on Trump to do everything he can. To help these to win that runoff in Georgia. I understand some of the objections which I'll go through here in just a second, but. Trump is the guy who has to do it, because if he does, if he goes out, if he does rallies, if he does appearances, if he shows up, encourages people to vote and they win, he gets the credit.

[00:45:54]

Magga is not dead. Magic cannot be impugned all they'll try, but they won't succeed. So that's why the pressure is on him, folks, it's always on the guy at the top. The guy at the top may have surrogates and may have people that do grunt work for him when it comes down to things that really, really matter, the guy at the top has to do them.

[00:46:23]

I mean, it's the name of the game and the guy at the top, he sought the position, he loves the position, he loves the pressure being on him. He loves being responsible. I'm just saying he's going to have to be here because that's what it's like. Now, here's here's the thing as best I have been able to determine. With mainstream Republicans and Lin Wood and this whole notion. Of Lin Wood encouraging Republicans not to vote for David Perdue and Kelly Loffler.

[00:47:00]

As I understand it, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong when we go to the phones. As I understand it. Lin Wood is suggesting that nobody vote for Loffler or Pardoo. In the Senate, runoffs are less. Governor Kemp fixes the rigged election process and gets rid of Dominion machines. As I understand it. This is Lin Wood's point that this is not going to be a fair election, we've already seen the elections in Georgia have just been peppered with fraud everywhere.

[00:47:37]

Why would we engage in the same kind of behavior? And he's using whatever leverage he has to make this change and and to get Republicans in gear on it. And of course, the one thing to ask here, why bother to vote if you've got suitcases of ballots out there somewhere, if they did it on November 3rd, do you think they don't have some ballots in reserve for these runoffs? You think they can't see straight to get John Ass off the pajama boy in the Senate?

[00:48:10]

You know damn well if they cheated on November 3rd, they'll cheat in January, there's no question they've probably got the mechanisms in place. We know they do. And so you could say that Republicans have learned absolutely nothing in the last four years. In terms of seeing the Democrats for who they are and what they are. At least that's that's a that's a popular take on the other situation, kill the messenger. Is that how you understand it, Mr.

[00:48:52]

Snarkily, about the Dominion machine? He's not actually advocating don't vote. He wants the governor to fix to to fix the front. I'll tell you what. Let's get started on the phones. Let's just do it right now so that I can I can get back in keeping with my promise. Let's start Spring Texas with Tom. Tom, I'm glad you waited. You're up first today on Open Line Friday.

[00:49:11]

Hi. It's good to hear your voice, Rush. May God bless you and your family. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. My point is, is with the challenges by Trump's legal team and then after he gave that speech on YouTube the other day, all we're hearing from the media is there's no evidence of fraud. There's no baseless claims, no evidence, no evidence. But there was never any evidence of any kind of wrongdoing in the Russia hoax.

[00:49:36]

But we heard that 24/7, exactly over three and a half years, there was never any wrongdoing in the Ukraine hoax, but they gave closely enough cover by running that story so she could do an impeachment. And what about that seriousness of the charge that they always say demands the investigation, the seriousness of the charge? Right.

[00:49:56]

There are a bunch of hypocrites. Great job of pointing it out. Total, total hypocrites. But I mean, that's there's there's nothing new about that. Look, you're absolutely right about everything that you've said.

[00:50:11]

Never any. You know, there was no there was not a shred of evidence in the in the in the coup because it was all made up totally. Never any evidence. There shouldn't even been an investigation because nothing happened. Same thing in Ukraine, they totally made that up to impeach Trump. And your point about the nature of the evidence is not what matters is the seriousness of the charge that's out the window when Republicans are asking questions.

[00:50:41]

You still there? Yeah, I'm still here and I just enjoy hearing you talk. You know, you are the voice of truth and light, and it's just a pleasure. It's it's a pleasure to hear you. Well, thank you.

[00:50:55]

I you know, it is for me, too, if I may be so honest.

[00:51:03]

But look, it's still a good point. The question, as always, is what to do about it.

[00:51:10]

And that just opens up the lines of frustration again, because we've had three and a half years of outright lies about things that didn't happen. That did delay and thwart the Trump agenda, despite how much he got done. They lied to their teeth in every possible place and way. New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, you name it, they lied, made it all up. Same thing with Ukraine, impeachment, all of it totally made up, they just broadcast a bunch of lies.

[00:51:49]

Now. We've got they demand evidence it's all over the place, there's a smoking gun, video of suitcases of ballots being dragged out from underneath tables after election monitors have been kicked out of the room. The amount of fraud that went on in Georgia, I've got half the stack here devoted to that, if I wanted to get into it all.

[00:52:17]

Look, it brings up a point that I have been making for a long time on this program.

[00:52:24]

Many, many moons. And the problem is that I don't know what percentage, but it's close to 40 percent and maybe higher of the people of this country don't know it. And that is there isn't any news anymore. Not what people think of as news, what do you think of his news? News is where somebody goes someplace where something happens and they watch that thing happen and then they tell other people who weren't there what happened. It's journalism. It's reporting things that many people, most people didn't see.

[00:53:05]

That doesn't happen anymore. That is not. What's happening today, we have left wing activists disguised as journalists promoting the agenda of the Democrat Party.

[00:53:20]

And it is made to look like news and 40 percent of the American people who are clueless because all they watch is mainstream media believe that it's still news. They believe they are hearing the news when they watch the lies and the distortions of the Russia hoax, the the coup, they think it's news.

[00:53:43]

And they think when it was over that there wasn't any evidence that the Mueller investigation. Well, nice try, but didn't find anything.

[00:53:51]

They don't know it was a total hoax. They don't know it was all made up.

[00:53:55]

The people that only watch mainstream media have no clue what it really was. So how do we deal with it? And when there's no news, then there really isn't, folks, there isn't any. This is why I call myself America's real anchorman. Because I do the news, I do endeavour to tell you what is happening out there. In addition, the added bonus for you is you also get my opinion. But I am more honest and forthright.

[00:54:31]

About things that are happening, people that are doing those things, parties that are doing those things than anybody at The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, take your pick. CBS, ABC, NBC. I am more honest about the Democrat Party than they are about themselves. Because I need to be persuasive and in order for me to be persuasive, you need to understand who the Democrats are. If I'm going to be here criticizing them and telling people to disavow them, I better tell you why.

[00:55:03]

So I do. I engage in more real journalism and more news here than anybody in mainstream media today. And this has been the case since before Trump, it crystallized and intensified during Trump, but during the during the eight years of George W. Bush, it was the same thing. You look at the way they covered the Iraq war and the war on terror. There isn't any news.

[00:55:38]

Not like people think there is news anyway. I'll take a brief break, will do that and be back and continue on the phones right after this.

[00:55:47]

And back to the phones we go quickly. San Marcos, California, this is Tom. I'm glad you waited, sir. Great to have you here. Hi. Hi, Rush.

[00:55:56]

It's a pleasure to talk with you. I just really have only one question. And it is how much fraud does it take to overturn an election? You mean how much fraud do the Democrats have to engage in to cheat and win, is that what your question is right now? Because they say there's no overwhelming evidence of fraud, and yet we have much. Sorry, but that's bull crap.

[00:56:21]

There's all kinds of evidence out there. But that's see, this is the point about there being no news all day. All they got to do was say there is no evidence. And guess what? New York Times repeats it. CNN repeats it. In fact, they originate it. They originate. They run the Democrat Party for all intents and purposes, no election fraud. So people are watching CNN and reading a New York Times. Those that do, they think it's journalism.

[00:56:45]

They think it's the news. Oh, there's no fraud. Republicans are kooky. Again, Republicans are making it up again. And that's what they're told. I have a story here, Tom. It's not like you were asking another question. Do you have another point you wanted to make?

[00:56:57]

Well, I just you know, it was kind of a leading question. How much fraud does it take to try to overturn an election? Because if they say there's not the media, the mainstream media says there's not enough evidence to pursue it any further. And I'm I'm all I'm saying is what how many votes does it take to turn an election? It's it's if you're going to allow cheating. To make it happen then. A little bit of cheating is OK, but a lot of cheating is not OK.

[00:57:33]

I'm not quite sure what the foundation. I'm not sure what you're really asking is.

[00:57:40]

I'm just saying if, say, a star was getting robbed. And they say, well, only a couple of people robbed it, so we didn't really have a robbery. Oh, you're so you're saying they are admitting some fraud, but not enough to make any difference. Exactly. OK, OK, I missed that. You said they were admitting some fraud. I have a story here that deals with this very subject. And it it runs a front page mag, which is which is David Horowitz's magazine website.

[00:58:13]

And here's the headline of the story The Democrats had no choice but to rig the election. And this time they were ready because there was too much at stake. They had no choice. They had no choice because their candidates suck. You're telling me Joe Biden is the best they could. I mean, you really, really believe, folks, that's the first bit of evidence I need that they had to cheat. There's no way. I'm sorry. There is no way Joe Biden legitimately gets elected president.

[00:58:48]

I don't care how many people vote for the guy with a D next to his name on a ballot. Joe Biden hasn't gotten anywhere near winning the presidency in the two or three times he's tried before this. They're issues they can't even be honest about what their issues are. They are in favor of looting and destroying their own cities. You telling me this wins elections? I don't believe it.

[00:59:15]

If you got a chance here, folks, if you're looking for Christmas or holiday gifts out there. We are continuing you may not know this, we announced it a couple of weeks ago, we are we're continuing here with 100 percent of the profits from the Rush Limbaugh Show store going to the families of law enforcement. Rush Limbaugh show store dotcom. That's a direct link. Or you can go to Rush Limbaugh dotcom and search for the store tab and click on that.

[00:59:44]

Either way, it'll take you to the store. And 100 percent of profits from now through Christmas go to families of law enforcement. You might say, why would you give 100 percent of profits? Why not 50 for white? A little suspicious. You're not keeping anything for yourself. Folks, you know, we've got a page where people. Can share really special stories about people they know in law enforcement, families and friends, because everybody here, everybody that gets acknowledged on that on that page is nominated by people in the audience.

[01:00:21]

You've got we have the entire Democrat Party running around trying to defund these people. We have the entire Democrat Party running around attempting to impugn, criticize and say that law enforcement is deadly, it's racist, it isn't necessary. Nothing could be further from the truth. And besides, one thing I've always done throughout the entire thirty one thirty two years of this program, anybody I love, anybody I know, anybody I believe in, anybody I care about, if I see them attacked, we defend them.

[01:00:55]

I don't care if I even know them. I spent six weeks defending Clarence Thomas, I never even met him, but I knew him. I knew the kind of man he was. I knew he was being railroaded, that's back when there wasn't a Fox News, there wasn't anybody but me. That was back in the early days. Neither George H.W. Bush nominated him 1991, 92. This show was it? And one of the things I have always done is defend the people I know deserve it.

[01:01:31]

And law enforcement deserves being defended far more than people know. So that's why 100 percent of profits from the Rush Limbaugh Show store go to families of law enforcement.

[01:01:47]

We've made plenty of money on this story.

[01:01:49]

We did. We did well during the Betsy Ross thing. And that was we gave up a lot of profits there. But even that was millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars.

[01:01:58]

And even though I have the proper amount of conservative greed, we also believe in sharing. Just kidding. I know people I've given the media to pull quotes now. I had a lot of fun with it anyway. Here is Kelly Kelly in Florence, Montana. Great to have you your next time.

[01:02:16]

Thank you very much. Rush 31 years, buddy. And I finally got through to you. Awesome. My point is something that you've already mentioned on the program today, but I haven't heard the Endelman on the Constitution at the end of it. I can't tell you how crazy it makes me when I hear people like Barr Ingram say, well, we need to see evidence, more evidence. And I'm just screaming and thinking to myself, what more do you need?

[01:02:41]

You have circumstantial, you have direct, you have physical evidence, for example, physical evidence, the video in Georgia that's now popular. So. You look at that. And you see what is going on, it gives great credence to what MacInerney and Flynn have said about declaring martial law when five of the key states stopped counting at the same time.

[01:03:13]

It's not a coincidence. It's a coordinated attack. This whole thing, it's not fraud. It's an attack on our Constitution and our way of life. And as far as if we may, if we get the majority in the Senate and the House, it doesn't matter, because if this is allowed to stand, then, you know, it's just a matter of time before the treasonous, fraudulent machine gets rid of the the Republicans that are in there, the conservatives.

[01:03:49]

So and as far as you know, the Constitution, I served for five years in the military, our two children that served in the Marines. And I still have a son in law, career Marine. And so the Constitution, when we swore an oath to the Constitution, it's going to end with our term of enlistment. Yeah, I know that's that's absolutely right, but this is this is why you may get mad at me. This is why I've kept emphasizing today that they're going to have to overwhelm people with Bombshell's if because if the media is going to say you got nothing, if if Swamp Republicans are going to say, I haven't seen enough.

[01:04:37]

Did you mean Lindsey Graham and Bill Barzani we're talking about? Guess he's gone. Is that Lindsey Graham has been saying he needs to see more. OK, well, he said Graham and Barr and I don't know which Grammy is talking about, point is. If there are swamp Republicans or anybody else, I haven't seen enough. You better show it to him. But Rush, but Rush, whatever they're showing, that's what they're going to not if you overwhelm them.

[01:05:09]

Bombshell after bombshell after bombshell, but look, that's the only way this is going to work anyway. The only way this is going to happen. Bombshell after bombshell after bombshell. Let me go back to this this front page magazine story here. It's by Ayad Rahim. And again, the headline, the Democrats had no choice but to rig the election, this time, they were ready because there was too much at stake. Let me give a couple of pull quotes here from this piece.

[01:05:36]

In the last weeks of the presidential campaign, Trump was drawing tens of thousands of enthusiastic supporters several times a day. I mean, some cases, thousand people at one rally and he was doing three to five rallies a day, people from across the fruited planned a plane at sea for massive rallies and caravans of their own.

[01:06:06]

Meanwhile, the Biden camp was barely limping along with one or two funereal gatherings a week before it passed a few dozen people. The campaign's apparent strategy was to minimize Biden's exposure to let the media do the work for him, and they did. Not only because Biden was feeble in the campaign, advocated lockdown's, but also because the evidence began emerging of the Biden family's dealings with foreign oligarchs. And corrupt countries, most importantly, the trichomes, so as Election Day approached, things were looking good for the president.

[01:06:49]

Indeed, as the results came in on election night, the president was headed for re-election. He was ahead in the Electoral College. He had big leads in the handful of remaining states he needed to win. Don't forget, eight hundred thousand vote lead Pennsylvania. Then suddenly the counting stopped. Just like that, the counting stopped in not just one state, but five. You see, a more significant factor was at play. In the deep state. The deep state had been drawn out of the sewers for all to see there, unchecked, leeching off the country, their growing grip on society were being questioned.

[01:07:35]

They might even be checked. They wanted to get back to chomping as before, and they were supremely confident they could do it for even after the lights were turned on, they still got away with success after success with almost no legal, financial, professional or political consequences. It's an impressive roll call of accomplishment. Spying on domestic presidential campaigns. Not just Trump's, they spied on Ted Cruz's and Ben Carson's two, they sabotaged a presidential transition and a presidential administration, they fabricated tales of treason and foreign control of the president.

[01:08:19]

Endless string of preposterous and farcical charges and investigations on the public's dime. They attempted to cripple the country. All of which profoundly affected the political process and the country's elections and all of that. After eight years of politicizing and corrupting the IRS, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the FBI, the Justice Department, the judiciary, the intelligence services and the military with a corrupt and fawning press covering everything up that is shining a light they had no choice. They had in order to keep all of that from being seen.

[01:08:59]

In order to keep Trump from exposing all of that, Durham from exposing all of that, they had to steal this election.

[01:09:09]

And joining them were the media, the big tech schools, entertainment. Most all of them in bed with the check comes. So the Democrats would take no chances, they wouldn't make the same mistake that stunned Hillary's people. This time they were ready because there was just too much at stake. Quick time out. We'll be back in continue shortly.

[01:09:37]

Greetings and welcome back. I mentioned that we had.

[01:09:42]

The smoking gun video of the suitcases being pulled out from underneath the table in Georgia and I mentioned named Jackie Pick, she was the person that was narrating this video. And I have a portion of her narration of that video right here.

[01:09:57]

We're going to roll this back and show it to you. There you go. So now we're going to start pulling these ballots out from under this table. This table, the black one was placed there by the lady with the blond braids at about eight, 22 a.m. in the morning. So she put that table there. So the same person who stayed behind now, the same person who cleared the place out under the pretense that we're going to stop counting.

[01:10:20]

What are these ballots doing? They're separate from all the other ballots. And why are they only counting them whenever the place is cleared out with no witnesses?

[01:10:26]

We know the answer because they're making it up. They're filling them out as they go. We all know the answer to this. So that's Jackie Pick narrating the video of all of those two. There were four of them. Folks in every suitcase contained like 6000 ballots and a total of 24000 ballots in these suitcases. I remember the margin of victory in Georgia for Plug's was 13000. So this is a big deal. It matters. Here's Jenna Ellis commenting on this tape as the smoking gun.

[01:11:05]

At about 10 30 at night, the election officials told everyone to just go home, stop counting, and then four people remained behind. And you can see from the video that they reached under a table and took out four big boxes of ballots and kept scanning them through through the night. And so this is what my cocounsel, Mayor Rudy Giuliani, described as the smoking gun. This verified the testimony that we already had from other pollwatchers and other people who were there who said that they had to leave and that they described all of these irregular activities and the violations against the law.

[01:11:39]

Right. And so they believe now that state legislators in these states are all controlled by Republicans can be compelled to act based on the evidence they've seen. This is what they're thinking. Here's more Jenna Ellis signature audit would really help to see how many ballots were initially entered into the certification count that are fraudulent and shouldn't be assessed. We have asked five times for that signature audit, and this video just proves our point as to why we need that audit. There's been so much emphasis on the court and the judicial branch, but Mayor Giuliani and I have also made our case over the last two weeks to the state legislatures.

[01:12:16]

Even without the courts intervening, the state legislatures can take back their authority under Article two and they can actually stop this certification and they can say, no, this election was fraudulent, it was corrupted, and we are going to provide that remedy. And so the state legislatures, I think, are actually the best option.

[01:12:37]

That's exactly right. The state legislators appoint the electors. They can delay it. Based on fraud that they have seen, they can do any number of things, there are all kinds of options available to them and that's why they're advocating this. Now, there is Brian Kemp, the governor of Georgia, has now asked the secretary of state there to do a signature audit. And I thought I had that story in writing this one stack here.

[01:13:02]

But apparently it's in another stack and it's not it's I'm not going have time to get to it anyway in this in this in this segment. But it opens your eyes a lot about what is going on. But another other point about it is that even though it is a signature on it, it's not, as I understand it, an audit of signatures on the ballots. It's an audit of signatures in other places. So I'm going to have to find the story, which I thought was in a stat that it isn't and I'll have plenty of time to do that in this break.

[01:13:45]

Coming up top of the hour and I'll be able to share those details with you in due course.

[01:13:51]

By the way, something that you need to consider. Many things I assume people know and I make a mistake, they're legitimate ballots do not come in suitcases. That's not how they are transported. That's not how they are collected. It's not how they are stored. They don't come in suitcases. You don't need to know any more than that to know something is awry here. Welcome back, everybody. Great to have you here. As always, you are tuned into the Rush Limbaugh program.

[01:14:26]

I am a household name in all Four Corners of the world.

[01:14:31]

It is Friday, Monday from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida. It's open line Friday. That's right. That's right. Where you get to choose whenever you want to talk about it. You may not know it, but Monday through Thursday. That's not the case. But on Friday it can be, if you like. We're in the midst of discussing the election fraud. But if you wanted to discuss the mating habits of the Australian rabid bat, it would be OK.

[01:14:59]

That's a good way to illustrate it.

[01:15:03]

Not that anybody cares about the mating habits of Australian rabid bat. I just using that as an illustration. OK, it appears they got a whole bunch of stories that have just popped my way over Governor Kemp. Governor camp. In Georgia, Brian Kemp is it's kind of curious, one headline, Georgia Governor Kemp claims Republican secretary of state has yet to order a signature audit like Kemp's got nothing to do with it. So he's he's he's foisting it all on the Republican secretary of state.

[01:15:46]

I have a theory, I don't want to repeat this and I to say it too loud, I don't think either of these guys want any part of any of this. I mean, just from what I have seen, from what I have heard read, it just doesn't seem that there's a whole lot of desire here.

[01:16:04]

But I hope I'm wrong.

[01:16:07]

But let me share with you some of these headlines, a couple from Bismack Review. Georgia Governor Kemp forced to call for signature audit after Trump legal team presents shocking footage. This is the video of the suitcases being pulled out from underneath the table. Twenty four thousand ballots again, ballots are not transported. They are not stored. They are not in any way ever put in suitcases. There is no time ever where official ballots ever find their way to a suitcase.

[01:16:50]

And if they do, then something is really, really wrong, because that's not where ballots live. Nobody houses them, they're not stored there, they're not put there by the manufacturer after they've been made, they never see the inside of suitcases.

[01:17:10]

Another headline, PJ Media. Georgia governor calls for a signature audit after ballot stuffing video.

[01:17:19]

And so a lot of people are asking now, is governor, you know, I like governor kept, I remember praising Governor Kemp to the hilt. When when he kept the state of Georgia open this past spring during the demands for closing down the economy, I remember I like the guy and I praised him extensively. But this is kind of I don't know, as I say, I haven't seen a whole lot of enthusiasm for this anywhere in the mainstream Republican Party.

[01:17:56]

So is he now calling for the signature on it because he knows it's the right thing to do? Or is he doing it because he knows all the evidence has been destroyed? You see, if the evidence has been destroyed, there's nothing to find and then they can say there's no fraud. They've already counted the ballots.

[01:18:17]

They've already gotten whatever usage down these illegal ballots they want and they could have tossed them. Here is a sound bite, number 30, this is this is Gabriel, Gabriel Sterling.

[01:18:38]

Who is the Georgia election, the implementation manager on Newsmax. Are they being asked, how do you answer questions about the suitcase video when you watch the video?

[01:18:49]

Those aren't suitcases. Those are regular absentee carriers used in dozens of counties across the state. That's how they bring those in. Nothing was brought in without the monitors there. So everything was there. There was nothing new right in. We didn't see somebody wheeling stuff into the room. We saw stuff that was already in the room. So what what Gabriel Sterling is saying here is they weren't suitcases, their regular absentee carriers, they're used in dozens of counties across Georgia.

[01:19:15]

That's how they bring them in. Nothing was brought in without the monitors there. So everything was there. There was nothing new brought in. We didn't see somebody wheeling stuff into the room. We saw stuff that was already in the room.

[01:19:33]

So they call them suitcases, the people in the know that the inside baseball here, they call them suitcases, but they apparently are not.

[01:19:41]

Suitcases that just I guess that's just what they end up calling them. So we are happy here to join Gabriel Sterling in correcting the record.

[01:19:55]

So I guess this means there's nothing wrong with these ballots, right? Well, I mean, if if if we're all wrong here and they're not suitcases, well, then there's nothing wrong. Why hide them? They weren't hiding them. And that was not a standard procedure to Senate Republicans long before it kind of happens every election. Right. And standard procedure to hide these containers underneath tables until you get the Republicans out of the room.

[01:20:31]

Now, here is here is the truth on the signature.

[01:20:35]

I don't want people misunderstand what's going on here, a signature audit that Governor Kemp wants the secretary of state to conduct. Secretary of state's name is Raffensperger, everybody or many, many people think that this is a an audit of signatures on ballots. It's not, folks. This particular signature on it would compare signatures to applications for ballots. Not to the actual ballots. I am told that signatures get checked twice first when the application for the mail in ballot is received and then again when the ballot itself is received.

[01:21:23]

And at the time somebody receives the ballot, that second check takes place and then the ballot envelope gets opened if they match. The Georgia state constitution requires secret ballots, which is why ballots are separated from from their containing envelopes with the signatures after the envelopes get opened. So any audit now? Would not be able to identify an invalid ballot. Even if there was a signature mismatch. So it's again, it's no big deal. Any audit would not identify an invalid ballot.

[01:22:13]

Even if there was a mismatch of signatures, why is that? Don't know, but that's the that's what I'm told, this is a. Kind of makes this a moot point in an election challenge. And if you if you're not going to audit the signatures on the ballots, if you're only going to audit the signatures of applications. Then. You're not going to be able to do much. In an election challenge, so that's that's that's this is a story I was looking for at toward the end of the of the previous hour.

[01:22:59]

And so why does it appear that camp is pressuring the secretary of state? Folks, I just think nobody wants to do this. I just think there's not a stomach for this. The easiest path is just say there was no fraud, the is up and up, it was fair and honest. We got nothing to see. Here is what you just heard. This this person in in Georgia saying that na na na na na, these are not suitcases.

[01:23:24]

These are the normal boxes that ballots are housed in. Well, that kind of. Just changes everything if they're not really suitcases, even though they call them that. Here's here's David Bourbonnais, Illinois, as we go back to the phones. Welcome, sir. I'm glad you waited.

[01:23:39]

Hi. Thank you, Rose. Thanks for taking my call. I love your show. Thank you, sir. I was going to start off by saying I think you underestimate the power of the people, but I don't know that to be true. But I do think there's a big underestimation of the power of the people there. At least 50 to 60 million people that know this was an election was fraud. And I was always taught that if you want something changed, you vote somebody in.

[01:24:03]

Well, that's gone. The only thing left is revolution. No, I don't want to speak grabbing guns and taking my country back, but we could do it peacefully. But we won't accept it. We can't we have to stand up. And I think that there's enough of us out here. We don't need another bombshell to know what happened. We're tired of it. And I'm not just speaking of myself. A lot of people are saying the same thing.

[01:24:25]

They know it's fraud and we can't stand for that. It's our country. It's the only thing we got left. Democracy to vote, to make things, to change things. We lose that. We lost everything. And I'm not willing to do that. Yeah, I.

[01:24:42]

I hear you. By the way, one more point about this. For all this talk about those suitcases were legit. You know, the fact of the matter is they didn't drag those ballots out from under the table till a Republican observers were gone. Now, you can't tell me that that's legal and you can't tell me that that's kosher and you can't tell me that that's standard ordinary procedure. There were no observers in the room when those ballots were dragged out of there and counted.

[01:25:13]

So as much as these people want to try to say nothing to see here, there's still all kinds of things to see here. But I want to go back. Dave, are you still there? Yes. You said there's millions of people out there, the American people. We're not going to stand for it. We know this. What when you say revolution, what are you talking about?

[01:25:34]

Well, it's one just a small example I seen this Friday night on the Tucker Carlson show is where that the gentleman that painted the autonomous zone and they arrested him, they came in and arrested him and 1500 people showed up. And in my heart, if I was anywhere near, I had been there. And I know people are getting tired of all this draconian measures and we're going to stand up.

[01:25:55]

I don't see any evidence of it. I'm sorry. I've been watching blue cities burn. I've been watching private property burn. I've been watching private property being looted.

[01:26:04]

Well, you know, the best thing about it, when those people stood up out there, there was American flags and not one thing got burned, but they said, no, let him free. And there's I'm telling you, that's what I believe. You do underestimate the people willing to stand up for their country. We cannot allow our government to rule us. We are supposed to rule them.

[01:26:25]

Look, look what you're preaching to the choir. I'm just asking, where is this evidence that these 60 million people are about to make sure that this doesn't happen again? Where are they? I can only go by the people I speak to every single day and the same sentiments, they are in the same sentence. And I can't tell you how many people are saying that your voice, when you see the media block you on Facebook to say anything, you see all this, you can't go to jail to five, seven, nine, or mostly the cable channels without everything being against what everything I stand for.

[01:26:59]

Trump is a good man and is fighting against a swamp. But it's our government, not just the Democrats. It's everything they're doing.

[01:27:08]

I totally agree. I totally I totally agree with you here on all of that. But you're you're relying on really small numbers of people to project 60 million people are thinking the same way as the as the relatively few that you're talking to.

[01:27:26]

Let me make my point again. From March through April and May and June and July and August, I watched Seattle. I watched Portland in Riot one hundred fifty six nights in a row, I saw Seattle literally steal private property. I saw Seattle allow private property to be burned down and looted. I saw it allowed to be destroyed. I saw them shut down a police station in Seattle. I saw them forced the police out of neighborhoods. I saw them commandeer an entire neighborhood in Minneapolis.

[01:28:07]

I saw the same thing and I didn't see one person. Now, admittedly, they're blue states. I didn't see one person rise up in opposition to it. Those governors and mayors were under no pressure whatsoever to stop what was going on, they were under no pressure to stop the looting, to stop the rioting. The president offered to send in federal troops to stop it. They laughed at him. They mocked him all because they didn't want to give him the opportunity to create anything that would look like a job well done before an election.

[01:28:45]

Nothing with credit attached to him. But my point is, I haven't seen in fact, I'll go even further, Dave. I haven't seen it for twenty five years other than at the ballot box. I don't know, I don't want to whine, I don't I don't like bleeding on the audience. I don't like complaining, but folks, I've been doing this for over 30 years now, I've been chronicling. Every day that I have been here, the destruction of this country, the wanton destruction by way of the destruction of our culture, the assault on the Constitution, all of the other things that are taking place that are essentially destroying Western civilization.

[01:29:34]

The destruction of the media. Which is a fundamental necessity in a constitutional republic and we've lost it. We do not have a media. We don't have news. We don't have people telling us what happened that we don't know about. I'm just telling you that in all of these 30 years, I haven't seen any opposition to I haven't seen any outrage. I haven't I've seen Democrats continue to win elections. I thought for certain. And I mean, I'm in relatively for certain after what we saw in Seattle and Portland and Minneapolis.

[01:30:17]

And all and New York, these blue cities and blue states. I was convinced the American people would see the left for what it is and who it is, and then I forgot something. The American people didn't see it, the media didn't show them any of these riots or rallies or looting. Fox News did. But the people we're talking about don't watch Fox News. At best, six million people a night watch Fox News. It's a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the drive by media.

[01:30:54]

So nobody saw it because there isn't any news. I didn't see it, it didn't happen. I take a break, we'll be back after this. Don't go away. I have just been informed that one of the things our last caller, Dave, was talking about was a rally in New York City for the guy that was arrested by Governor Cuomo. Apparently, Governor Cuomo arrested some guy.

[01:31:21]

I don't know why I missed this. I had no idea that Cuomo.

[01:31:30]

Always an owner of a bar and was breaking covid rules, what was he? He made the bar an autonomous oh, he tried to play games with the rules and so so Fritos brother comes in and arrests him and 15000 people showed up to support the guy shouting Cueball sucks, Cuba sucks. So that's why he thought that there was going to be a revolution. Come on, just shoot him. And I would open fire with rubber bullets or what? Have you turned the hoses on them?

[01:32:03]

Hey, let's go pretend to be Bull Connor and grab the fire hoses. Just walk them on those people. Here we have William William Minneapolis', great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello, sir.

[01:32:14]

Thanks for taking my call. Russia Megapolis. Just a side point. I believe that you deliver news as good, if not better, than the famous and well respected Paul Harvey. I think he's the only other person who has had a thank you.

[01:32:30]

That that's a that's a that's a pretty stellar kind of compliment. And I really appreciate that.

[01:32:37]

Well, it's well-deserved, sir. The point I want to make is that I think there is a couple of aspects to the litigation that's going to be going to the Supreme Court. We understand that the main point that the legal teams that are going to be pushing, whether it's Trump or Lynn or Sidney Powell, is the equal protection clause. That was what the Bush v. Gore decision was based on. And I think if there's an equal protection argument that is made regarding the mail in ballots and the lack of signature verification, if it invalidates the ballot at the presidential level, it would invalidate that same ballot, not count.

[01:33:19]

This is this is I'm sorry to interrupt, but the the audit, if you're talking about Georgia, is not going to be of ballots. The audit is going to be of envelopes, the ballots were mailed and it's moot. It makes the whole audit moot. It makes me wonder why these guys are refusing to do it because the ballot on it or the signature on it is not going to be a ballots. And that's all that matters. If you're going to compare ballots for legitimacy signatures, you better compare the ballots.

[01:33:48]

The ballots are how people vote, not the envelopes they come in.

[01:33:53]

Anyway, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I've got a time problem on Out of Mike in Rancho Mirage, California.

[01:34:02]

Welcome, sir. Glad you called. Hi, Rush. How are you doing? Well, sir, thank you. I've been listening to you since I think late 88, if that's possible. And anyway, what I wanted to say, you're talking about Bombshell's and the media says that there's no there there. And so far it doesn't look that way because nobody's out in the street. And I think what needs to happen is Trump needs to have rallies in all these swing states that have been corrupted and get every Trump voter out there en masse to show the fact that I agree.

[01:34:40]

I opened the program with this suggestion and I even apologize to Trump. It all falls on him. There's nobody else who can do this. And he must. If this is going to be pulled off, if this because they're going to need public opinion behind this, Mike. I totally agree, and he's got to do that, you know, he can still draw crowds and nobody's organizing this and somebody's got to and I think he's the man that must in every state that is in question, get every Trump voter out of the Capitol, you know, so it cannot be ignored that there's this huge they ask you a quick question, disenfranchised.

[01:35:18]

Let me ask you a quick question. Sure. Would you blame Trump if he was worn out? I don't care. You know, I'm going because I'm just I'm going to look at 2024. To hell with this or not to hell with it. But, you know, it's just such a long shot. And I'm sick and tired of the burden all falling on me. So I'll just look to the future. Would you would you be sympathetic if you found out Trump was looking at it that way and I don't know that he is not misunderstand.

[01:35:45]

I pray that he's not, because I think four years from now it's too late. And not only that, who knows if he'll be up to it in four years? We know he's up to it now. Yeah. And and he's got to fight. There's nobody else to do it, you know.

[01:36:01]

And that that is sadly. And I mean, sadly, so true. And he set the pace, he was the guy starting with that campaign, twenty fifteen on through twenty sixteen in the election. He was a tour de force. He was a one man show. He did it all.

[01:36:31]

He didn't have consultancy, didn't have advisers. He did it all.

[01:36:37]

And what was his reward? No assistance. For the first six months. Over half the Republicans in the House of Representatives believe it's stupid Russian story. Thought that he was going to be impeached or sent packing. I thought he was guilty. Took them six months to realize it was bogus, it was embarrassing. So he got no assistance on reforming and rewriting Obamacare is one of his signature issues. The point is that Trump has demonstrated he can do it all, and once you do that, well, then your friends and supporters keep demanding that you do it all while they sit on the sidelines.

[01:37:27]

And I must tell you, that's a little frustrating for me, but I know there's nothing to do about it. Yeah, Trump, get out there and do it. Hey, Trump, get out there and fight, hate Trump, get out there. You need to rally. He's going to give you fix his trump. I just wonder if sometimes Trump's why is it all on me?

[01:37:45]

I don't know that he has that attitude. I think it would be very understandable if he did, but I don't think he does. I just. I'm curious. Yeah, I know he loves the rallies, I know he's doing a rally in Georgia and that's great.

[01:38:00]

It's good. I think I think he enjoys the limelight, the focus of attention, because he likes achieving things. And he knows what's at stake. He knows what's at stake in this election in Georgia, these two runoffs. And it's. Folks, I just you should. Take pause. And realize how fortunate we've all been to have this guy. For these past four years and that he didn't cave, do you realize? He's the only Republican in the modern history.

[01:38:49]

Of American politics, who did not cave, he didn't even wilt. To the usual Democrat media pressure. He continued to implement his agenda. He continued to try to defy them every time they tried to shut him down and stop him. And he was so effective at it that people are demanding that he keep doing it. It's one of the. Not pitfalls, but it's one of the aspects of leadership that if you exhibit it well and you engage in leadership, well, then you're going to have a lot of people on the sidelines demanding that you keep doing it.

[01:39:36]

At any rate, I appreciate the call, as always, a brief time out, back after the. Don't go anywhere. OK, folks, there's other stuff going on out there, and I want to get to some of it here in just a second. One thing this is this is what I was afraid of is what I was talking about when the program began today. There's a story here on a website called I Don't Care Where the website doesn't it doesn't say what it is.

[01:40:04]

It looks like it's legit.

[01:40:07]

It just didn't print. Here's the headline. Democrat candidates have the lead in Georgia. Senate runoffs is exactly what I was afraid, even though we know the polls cheat. Even though we know the polls do not reflect public opinion, they shape it. That's why this is important and this is what I was afraid of.

[01:40:29]

A new poll out this morning shows both Democrats ahead of Republican incumbents in the Senate runoff races in Georgia. The survey conducted by Survey USA is a legit outwell. It's a name outfit. I wouldn't say it's legit. They they did the survey on behalf of local Georgia Outlook 11 alive. They surveyed 850 Georgia residents. Most of whom are registered to vote, more than half of whom said they're likely to vote in the runoffs on January 5th. Well, that's not good enough.

[01:41:03]

You need a survey of likely voters not registered.

[01:41:07]

Anyway, this is how they get the result they want in one race, The Pajama Boy, John Asaph has a marginal lead over David Perdue, 52 to 48. In the other race. Well, I didn't print the second page where the numbers are, but that's the Reverend Raphael Warnock is a guy who's a real whacko. And he has a bigger lead than two points over Kelly Loffler. So. So this is. This is just typical become the first series of polls.

[01:41:47]

Of course, the Democrats are in the lead. Absolutely. They are totally understandable. They would be in the lead. Back to the phones, George in Long Island, great to have you, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello. Hi, Rose. May God bless you. Listen, what public opinion we have. Over 74000 people had voted for Trump, 60000 people or 60 million people. Listen to your show, 74 million votes for Trump.

[01:42:14]

We have plenty of public opinion. My question to you is we have a constitution, we have laws, we have evidence and judges that take an oath. What do you need public opinion for? Public opinion puts pressure on people that are otherwise reluctant to act. Even today, they take an oath to uphold the law. Well, that's working well. OK, I have one more question. Do you believe what they did to us, if they if it works out and buy news and from what they're going to do to us, is that the reason why they want to get rid of the Second Amendment?

[01:43:02]

Run that by me again. What I didn't understand the question because I didn't quite hear you. Well, what are they going to do to us?

[01:43:12]

They're going to make it so bad that if nobody has arms, they're not going to take up arms against their country. They're going to take up arms for their country. We can't go to socialism. Yeah, I'm not sure that they're going to make it so bad that if nobody has, but they still going to take the guns.

[01:43:34]

I don't know what Biden's going to do. I know they would love to I know they would love to take guns away. But just because Biden's going to get elected doesn't mean it's automatically going to happen. But look, I'm detecting a theme here today that I've that I've got to address. This is like I think the fifth caller today.

[01:43:57]

Who has pointed out that there are millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of Americans who are fit to be tied and they know exactly what's going on. They see the fraud. They know the fraud. And they've had it. And they're not going to put up with it anymore. You just wait. Well, that's 60 million. That was the that was the projection that the Trump Mago radio rally here.

[01:44:31]

But look, I'm not trying to be a smart aleck here, folks. I don't I don't I don't see any evidence that there are 10 people out there. I don't know. I better I better quit while I'm ahead here. Or maybe maybe those of you calling and telling me, they said maybe, you know something I don't know. Ricky, Ricky and Memphis, great to have you on the EIB Network. Great to have you, sir. Hi.

[01:45:05]

Thank you for. Great pleasure. And megadose co-operators to you. Thank you. Rush just just wanted to look for some insight and use your infinite wisdom to just tell me what are tell millions of us what is the likelihood of the election being overturned with all the evidence that that has been presented? What is the likelihood as it's never been done in history? So because honestly, as a proud father, as a husband, an American, I'm scared.

[01:45:39]

And I know that millions and millions and millions of us are scared.

That's exactly right. People are scared to death out there over all of this. No question about it. I. I don't I don't have a feel for this, I've got I've got mixed emotions. There are days when I think it's such a long shot, it's never going to happen. And then I'll see something, read something that makes, hey, there may be something going on here. And then I see all kinds of conspiracy theories that there is a massive, massive plan that Trump has.

[01:46:23]

And all of this is playing out as it should. People are going to be shocked and stunned.

[01:46:27]

I don't know what to make of all the various things that. That I see that are presented as possibilities. I'll tell you something else that affects me trumps at a holiday rally in the White House recently, and he said things that indicated that he's essentially accepted the fact that Biden won.

[01:46:53]

Now, that could be part of some massive plan to keep everybody. Relaxed and at bay and not prepared for whatever is being planned. I don't know, but it does seem like a long shot to me.

[01:47:12]

It always has. It didn't the first couple of days, the first couple of days, I thought I thought this is going to be a slam dunk and then the forces of evil. Got into gear here and immediately started clamping down on all that we knew that was happening. Anyway, I.

[01:47:31]
