Keep feeding your hopes, feeding 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. Yes, America's anchorman is a way. You know how it goes. It's that time of year on the ninth day of guest host Rush Limbaugh gave to me. Anyway, it is a thrill to be here.

America's anchorman is out. And this is your undocumented anchorman, Markstein Stein. No supporting paperwork whatsoever.

Just another foreign exchange student here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. And like every other foreign exchange student in America, I'm working for the Chinese Communist Party. I was sent here by Chairman G to compromise Eric Swalwell.

But frankly, I'm in no hurry to do that. So I've been putting it off for a while.

The good news is that 2020 is over if you're in the Solomon Islands, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia. The bad news is that Doc Foushee and the CDC have decided to delay the rollout to slow the spread of 2021. So we may not get New Year here for a couple more weeks and we may be stuck in 2020.

12 months ago, President Trump was whacking Sulimani in Iran and presiding over a gangbusters economy at home and sticking it to the trichomes in a trade war. And Joe Biden couldn't tell the difference between New Hampshire and Vermont, Iowa and Ohio. He was staggering around, sniffing the hair of random middle schoolers and was widely assumed to be heading for the exits.

Nobody saw any of what happened in the succeeding 12 months coming while. Nobody who isn't on the Chinese Politburo saw any of it coming. We will look back and we will look forward to 2021 in the course of today's show, 800 to eight to two eight eight two is the number to call. As I always say, I love to hear from lefties because it looks as if you're going to be having the last laugh on us as far as 2020 is concerned.

So do give me a call, particularly if you're a hoop, if you would like to caucus Snooke, as they say.

Actually, I don't know whether anybody says that over here, but I do like to say, if you'd like to caucus snook at the right and you're on the left, give me a call. One 800 202 282. Go on, give it give it your best shot. We've got Ali call screening today. So you're in for a treat because you're not going to be abused by Mr. Snidely as you normally would be. She is delightful and charming, so make the most of it because sadly will be back with his usual manner in a day or two, one 800 202 288 to as I said, where we are right now is not where we thought we would be when we came in to 2020 on January the 1st.

And that goes not just for the world, but it goes for us in the EIB family, too.

It was in January that Rush received his cancer diagnosis. And I don't know about you.

I mean, I do sort of, because I've seen a lot of the comments on the Internet about his last show just before Christmas. And it was very moving. It was it was too moving in some respects. He said to us, he told us that when he got that diagnosis, he didn't expect to be here for November's election and he didn't expect to be here for Christmas. And Rush is here and I thank the Lord for that.

And so Rush will be back in 2021 with us right here on America's number one radio show.

It was no secret what Rush did this year. He came. He loves this show. He loves his connection with you. And he came here every day he could when he wasn't basically on some hospital bed being poked around.

And and given this and given that by his doctors and nurses, he came here every single day he could with one objective. And that was to get Trump over the finish line on November the 3rd. And yes.

Thanks to the usual Democrat shenanigans supersize this year, Trump didn't quite get across the finish line on November the 3rd because of what went on in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin. Arizona and Nevada, he didn't quite get across the finish line, but but Rush almost got in there. And if the so-called Republican establishment had worked as hard to get Trump across the finish line as Rush did, we would not be in the situation we're in today.

Now we've got this, another critical election. Everything hangs on it. Everything. The fate of America hangs on these two Senate seats in Georgia coming up in whatever it is now, six days time. The polls are garbage.

So make of this what you will.

But the polls, which I think are intended these days, mainly to depress Republican turnout. But they do show a slight lead for both of these so-called Democrats. The guy who's basically in the bag for China, he's running against Perdue and the other guy who's some weirdo creep Castro fan who ran some camp that they had a big state investigation for abuse of minors in and ran over his estranged wife foot. The China shill and the guy who runs over his wife's foot are both slightly ahead.

So we're going to need a spectacular turnout because this is Georgia. This is Georgia, where Fulton County has mythical pipe bus that shut down the county that has a server crash in an election where supposedly the machines aren't connected to the Internet. This is Georgia. This is the new Georgia, which in nothing flat has achieved the level of electoral corruption that Pennsylvania has taken a century and a half to achieve. So that's impressive. So we got some news on the Georgia election front, which is that this the Democrats seem pretty confident.

That McConnell's maneuverings in the United States Senate are to kill the two thousand dollar check for covid relief by tying it to the removal of big tax liability and also to an investigation into the state of America's federal elections that McConnell's interference on the 2000 covid relief check will cost.

The Republicans, the Senate seats, I don't I don't know about that, and I'd be interested in your in your take on it, one can get too into the weeds on this thing.

A lot of people have never heard of what's going on there. A lot of the guy who one of these kids who was abused at this camp that this guy Warnecke ran. He ran a camp in Maryland called Camp Farthest Out, Camp Farthest Out.

He named it either after his political philosophy because he's pretty far out even for the American left or he named it after the fact that it's quite the weirdest boys camp there is in Maryland. Anyway, this one kid out there, he was 12 years old. He got urinated on by the camp counselors and and forced to sleep on an outdoor basketball court. He's now 30 and he hadn't heard that the guy who ran the camp of his tormentors was running for the United States Senate.

So there's a lot of people who aren't following this thing too closely. But the fact is, we're being told we needn't worry because the Republicans have got 8000 pollwatchers. Whoop de do. If it's if it's like November the 3rd and those 8000 poll watchers are standing outside on the street trying to look through the window, that's not going to do much good. But that's that's the big the big story coming up. The big story for me this year.

And I'd like to actually talk about something that matters as we were briefly during the spring, because the great thing about the covid is that it revealed that basically this is China's world and we just live in it and we learn things.

We learn that, for example, it's not just all our lousy t shirts and smart phones that are made in China. China actually makes all our medicines. And having exported the covid to 200 nations and territories around the world in nothing flat, China then decided not to export medicines, decided not to export reliable surgical masks and all the rest of it. And that was, I think, news to most Americans. And for a while we were talking about bringing the supply chain home, because, after all, if China makes everything from your headache pills to your personal protective equipment, then you can't really fight a war.

It doesn't matter what treaty you have with Taiwan about agreeing to save them.

If the Chinese invade, if on the fifth day of the war, you pilots can't fly because they've got splitting headaches and and itchy bottoms, because Beijing is sitting on the aspirins and suppositories and not shipping any out to you, then you can't really fight a war. And then suddenly so for once, we were actually talking about something that mattered, ending this ludicrous three decade Washington Uni party delusion that letting China become the dominant economic power would make China more like us in in respect of basic rights to freedom of speech and freedom of movement and freedom of association.

And instead we become more like them because now we have restraints on we have Chinese style restraints on freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom of association.

And then so we were talking about something important, the most important fact to the year. And then suddenly writing about Memorial Day, it all stopped. And the biggest issue in the world was supposedly Confederate statues.

And frankly, a nation that thinks the biggest public policy priority is statues of Confederate generals who, unless they're on active Democrat voters, all died 150 years ago. If you're if you were registered in Michigan and Wisconsin and you were a Confederate general in Wisconsin or Michigan, which would be a rare thing.

But if you're a Democrat voter and you're probably alive and well, notwithstanding the fact that you're a Confederate general, we're talking about rubbish.

China doesn't waste its time with any of this, and that's snaffling the world out from under us. And as I said before this came up, I wanted Trump to seize that issue and run on the slogan Make America number one again, because the Washington Uni party gave away your country. They gave away your country. They gave away your global dominance. Since the late 19th century, when you beat out Britain and Germany to become the dominant economic power, they they gave away your geopolitical dominance.

Since the end of the Second World War, the Washington Uni Party gave it away. And they now want to put a man who's China's shale who gets 10 percent from the big four, the big guy from Chairman Xi, the really big guy, Chairman G. Reserves, 10 percent for the big guy, for his man, Joe Biden. They want to install him and a bunch of China shills and make this issue go off the off on.

To the back burner for another eight years until it's too late. No, make America number one again. Markstein in for us.

We will take your calls, one 800 202 288 to Markstein in Farraj on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, the very last Rush Limbaugh show of a terrible year 2020.

You know what a good time is. The headline from The Washington Post, a quote quote from The Washington Post, the headline quote, A year after coronavirus emerged in Wuhan, China declares 2020 a triumph, unquote. It's almost as if The Washington Post is implying that the emergence of the coronavirus is what made 2020 a triumph for Chairman JI.

He managed to persuade all his economic rivals around the planet to drive there, with the exception of Sweden, to drive their economies off a cliff and then having driven them off a cliff to keep them going. It's believed to be a little over one in five Americans.

Small businesses have gone out of business for good this year, over one in five.

Now, when you even that out across all the rural districts that have been less affected compared to the big cities like New York and Los Angeles and all the rest of it, that's absolutely incredible.

Over one fifth of all small businesses in America out gone forever, not coming back forever because of the lockdown and lockdown hasn't worked and has been well, that's a bit unfair.

Lockdown for a couple of weeks did work in northern Italy in that it prevented coronavirus spreading to southern Italy and into south eastern France and that kind of thing, because that's normally the way you use lockdown. You take an infected place and prevent it from infecting its neighbors.

That goes back to the plague in in Europe, whatever it is now, three and a half centuries ago.

But that's not that's not what we did here. We we locked down millions and millions of healthy people.

And so you have situations like San Francisco where there have been more fatal drug overdoses than covid deaths were, in fact, in that city. The increase in the rise of fatal drug overdoses, I think it's 180 extra fatal drug overdoses compared to 173 covid deaths. San Francisco is a totally ruined town, completely locked down. They change the rules every every two, every two weeks.

And yet people are dying.

People are killing themselves because of the lockdown. And we're now like the Soviet Union.

A commenter at my Web site made this point the other day, and it's quite right that whenever you say, whoa, wait a minute, lockdown hasn't worked, it's got worse during lockdown. It's done nothing when I like the Soviet Union, say, oh, yes, but that's because we haven't really tried the full lockdown. We need to be even more locked down, just as the excuse for communism is. Oh, yes. No, no, no.

It failed in the Soviet Union and it failed in the Warsaw Pact countries and it failed here and it failed there. But that's because the real pure 100 percent communism has never been properly tried. That's how it is now with lockdown. If lockdown doesn't work, you need more lockdown. And if more lockdown doesn't work, you need even more lockdown. And they've got no answer to this. And again, the other tragedy of this is that what was a twenty trillion dollar debt is now tickling 30 trillion dollars, No.

One. So just to put that in perspective, the government of the Anite, this is federal debt. The government of the United States has to pay back whatever it is now, 27 trillion dollars just to get back to having nothing, no one, just to get back to being broke. The government of the United States has to pay back 27 trillion dollars just to get back to being broke. No one in human history has ever done that before.

And if you look into the eyes of any Washington politician and ask them about it, you can see in their eyes that they've no serious intention of doing anything about it, no serious intention about.

I mean, some countries do pay off their debt. New Zealand paid off all its so-called crown debt. That's that's the same thing as, hey, government. They paid it all off. They decided they were going to pay it all off, I think, around something around the beginning of the century. And they did pay it all off.

The Canadian Liberal Party of all people actually managed to pay down the debt.

But nobody in Washington seriously plans on paying down the debt.

And they can get away with that because the dollar is the United States dollar is the global reserve currency. Aha. So we have a situation now where if it isn't already, technically, China is about to become the dominant global economic power. So at some point and chairman, she thinks ahead because he's already started to think about all this stuff, he's going to yank the rug out from under the United States dollar. He's going to pick his moment. He's going to pick his moment.

But at some point, he's going to choose his moment and go for it.

And then at that point, we are then like any other country in that the the the debt will mean something and it will become real because we will be having to pay it off in real money.

Mark Steyn in for Rush. Rush will return in twenty, twenty one. But if you're missing him, the solution to that is very simple. You could take out a subscription to the Limbaugh letter. It's the perfect imprint companion to Rush's radio show.

And every month you will find Rush addressing the critical issues of the day, doing absolutely laser focused political commentary, a big dose of Limbaugh like optimism about the future. And that's certainly exemplified in the January issue. You won't want to miss the January issue. The December issue had rush in some kind of Dickensian costume, standing in front of a Christmas tree holding an oil lamp.

And I wasn't quite sure what to make of that. But there's no disguising the January issue. It's fantastic.

It's got a big American flag, super sized American flag draped across the wall behind him and Rush striding into the future full size Rush slamming into walking into the future and. The headline, Never Stop Fighting for America, Rush has never stopped fighting for America, and as I said at the top of the show, if the Republican establishment had done the same, we wouldn't be in this situation today. You know, I don't want to dwell on that because I don't even like talking about these people.

But Rush mentioned that this guy in Wyoming, Senator Barrasso, that he likes the guy, but that in this awful covid relief bill, which is like whatever it is, 5000, 593 pages, there's like a paragraph and a half of covid relief. And then the other 5500, 92 and a half pages are just rubbish. The rubbish is Democrat rubbish. And yet we have to listen to guys like Barroso talking about reducing CO2 as if he's a Democrat.

Rush made this point the day before Christmas, he says. That this guy sounds like a Democrat, he's he's talking he's talking about what's good in the bill and he's talking up what a Democrat would find good on the bill. And this is the guy from Wyoming, the most Republican of Republican states. Yet it senator talks like a Democrat.

And then we have Lindsey Graham doing his whatever it was raving about the the the bazillions of dollars for gender, for gender programs. That's not actually that's not a word conservatives use. There's biological sex. We shouldn't be doing gender programs. If you go to talk about it, the term is sex, biological, sex. And I was a schoolboy. They used to ask name, date of birth address and then it would say sex. And instead of putting M or F weed, right?

Yes, please. Because we were school boys and we thought that was the greatest joke on the planet.

It's sex, not gender. So if you're talking about gender, you're not a conservative. You've given in to the left on language and giving in to the left on language is why we can't talk about immigration, why we can't talk about urban dysfunction, because we've surrendered all the language on this, why we can't talk about transgender issues, because we've surrendered all the language. You surrender the language and you're disarming yourself. And that's what these guys are doing, which is why I said I'm not whatever happens on January the 20th, I ain't going back to the Trump Republican Party because we're getting a taste of what that's like.

It means Barroso talking about reductions in CO2 emissions. You know what's great for reducing your carbon footprint locked down without end in other countries. They already talk about this as if it's a good thing. You know, you hear all this old covid this and covered that. So now let's have a little bit of good news. I heard this on the BBC a few months ago. They said, oh, well, the good news is that Ireland has managed to reduce its carbon footprint.

Yeah. Because they killed their economy. They made it illegal for Irishman to travel more than three miles from their home. So the economy is kaput. So they've fantastically lowered their carbon footprint by killing the economy. I'm not interested in Republicans who talk like Democrats. So borrow some, for God's sake. Stop it. Stop it. There's no future in this kind of go along to get along Republicanism, you know? Oh, I'll adopt all the lingo about carbon dioxide.

I'll adopt Lindsey Graham. I'll adopt all the lingo about gender programs. He's got bazillions of dollars for gender programs in Pakistan. He's so excited because there with all the money that you, the American taxpayer have given them, they're going to be able to start a take your child bride to work day in Waziristan. And that that's fantastic, isn't it? It's this way where tourists in the heart of darkness in these places, it turns out we don't even know anything that goes on in the dead of night in Pennsylvania and Georgia.

Why would we think we can figure out what's going on in the dead of night in Sudan and Waziristan? And this is this is why this bill is sick.

Is sick because they have asked extraordinary things of the citizen this year of the ordinary individual, they've asked extraordinary things if your grandma, your grandma is in the old folks home and suddenly they tell her, grandma, whatever it is, March 11th, oh, sorry, you can't have any human contact. The state can deny you human contact. Oh, but it's just for two weeks to fatten the cut. Oh, no, no. The two weeks of fat in the curve turned into April, May, June, July, August, September, all the way to New Year's Eve.

You can be denied human contact by command of the state.

In return, this dirty, sleazy, rotten, corrupt political culture can't even restrain itself from just throwing billions and billions of your dollars into the Potomac and watching it float out into the ocean to wash up in Sudan. And who knows where. If you're going to say to people, these are such extreme times that you have to wear a mask every time you leave the house or in some states you have to wear a mask. Even inside the house, you can't have anybody from outside your house hold over for Christmas dinner.

These are extreme times. It's like war. You've got to make a sacrifice. OK, well, could you useless, sick, depraved, decadent political class in Washington, could you also make a sacrifice and hold off for over filth and graft and corruption and your dirty, stinking 6000 page bills, which are not bills, they're not laws, nothing. That's 6000 pages long as a law because there isn't a lawmaker on the planet who could read it.

Could you at least knock that off? If it's war and we have to make sacrifices and we have to stay inside and we have to wear masks and we kind of grainy over, could you just at least knock it off with the gender programs for Sudan and most laughable of all, the promotion of democracy programs for Cambodia? I don't know what poor old Cambodia ever did to have Yankee imperialists inflict Michigan style, Georgia style, Wisconsin style, quote, unquote, democracy on them.

But they don't deserve it and they shouldn't be getting it.

Either it's war or it's not war either. It's either it's, you know. I'll tell you, it, said Sherlock Holmes, the dog that didn't bark. The dog that didn't bark, I don't want to be one of the it's different elsewhere. Ross talks a lot about American exceptionalism, and he's right because there's things that Americans do that lots of otherwise free nations have given up doing.

And so people in Germany get excited when 150 people show up for an anti lockdown protest.

What's disturbing to me is the complacency. I think that was the word Jesse Waters used on Fox News a couple of weeks back about this, the complacency of the American people's reaction to what's gone on. And it's not just in the fact that. The conduct of the election was pathetic. It's basically a third world election system we've still got I think it's a couple of dozen counties we're getting on now for two months since the election. And there's a couple of dozen counties that still can't tell you what the result is.

They can if if the guys who do Dancing with the Stars ran America's crappy Third World elections, they could tell you the results in minutes. But but there were two dozen American counties that still can't tell you who won in their counties. It's a joke. And yet the American people go along with it. Then we have. The other impositions, it's not just that there's no free and fair elections, but it's that you're being told when and under what conditions you can leave your house.

You're being told by the state that you can go to your job because your job is non-essential for nine months.

So when people start talking about, oh, we're worried about we have to we have to turn out in the Georgia election, it's the only thing that will save America from socialism, from communism, from the radical communist socialist agenda. Well, if you don't, a free and fair elections and the state can compel you to stay at home for months on end and the state can tell you whether or not you're allowed to go and do your job. And the state can tell you who you're allowed to have in your house for Christmas dinner.

In what sense, then, are we not a socialist, communist, totalitarian, radical agenda, blah, blah, blah society already? How long? They've got no plans to stop any of this. Fancy says, oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. It's all still necessary. In what sense? You know, you can't leave the house in many American jurisdictions, not California. The state determines when you leave the house where you go and what the you know, what the the there's a great American word, Hornery, I always love that because it doesn't really it doesn't exist in Britannic English.

It's a different Canadians aren't Hornery.

New Zealanders aren't Hornery. It's a very American word. And I was hoping Americans would get real ornery over the impositions.

Oh, we're sorry. The first month of lockdown. And once we can do for another couple of months. Where were the ordinary Americans? If you put up with this, if you put up with having a risible joke collections, if you put up with being told when you can leave the house, if you'll put up with being told who you can have in the house, you know, how can you then run a campaign saying, vote for us where all that stands between you and the radical socialist agenda, there's very few actual radical socialist agendas that explicitly tell you, you know, it's cafu without end shelter in place.

You can't work for nine months. Normally, they're a little more subtle about it than that.

And yet and yet there has been very little mass outrage about it, if you think you know what I mean is give me a call, one 800 202 282.

We will take your calls straight ahead.

Markstein from ushe. First up on America's number one radio show. Let us go to Ed Wood, who's south of the border down Mexico way.

I don't know whether he's doing a Mrs Alec Baldwin and pretending to be Hispanic or whether he's genuinely Mexican, but he's south of the border. Great to have you with us, Edward. What's on your mind today?

Hi, Mark. Great job. First of all, you're my favorite guest host, working hard tune, Tucker, and this good job. You came down to Mexico for a little freedom from California. But really, my bigger you got to you got to get some freedom somehow, right?

So, yeah, that's right. Even if it involves leaving the country to get it.

Well, as I am concerned about Georgia and I think there's a couple really big things besides the obvious. Right. So, I mean, like you have election integrity, which is still a problem. I mean, like last month, I mean, even just the simple things. Are polls being held open for three hours to make up the difference, you know, a pipe burst and clear the counting room, which I have to point out is the premise of every Ocean's Eleven movie ever.

Right. And so we haven't even sold the basic issues there. But then there's something that's larger at stake and systemic. And I don't really know how we're going to fix that. I would love your take is that, you know, Democrats have created this winner take all situation and they've nationalized every election, which means now people in Malibu and Silicon Valley can pour millions into local races right now. They should pick their own representative. They I mean, if you live in Malibu and you're Barbra Streisand, you get to pick your telephone, your representatives, and that is your God given right.

And by our Constitution, you get to do it. But I don't think it's right that we pour millions. They encourage people from out of state, move interstate, vote for it, bring your money here, overturn so we can take over the country and finish off what we started in California. Because, I mean, if you look at California, they always say that, like, if they could just get rid of those pesky Republicans and raise taxes enough, you'd have Utopia.

We don't have utopia. We have people living in trust for 50 to 100 people in all these villages. You know, and hope it's not a problem there. I don't know why, but businesses that our businesses don't stay home. And if Georgia goes, we're going to be in massive trouble.

Yeah, you're you're right about that. The the the consolation, Edward, is, for example, exactly as you were describing it, is what happened in South Carolina. They wanted to take out Lindsey Graham because he'd basically gone ahead and scheduled the hearings that put Amy CONI Barrett on the Supreme Court. So they wanted to take him out. So Barbara Streisand sitting in Malibu, gave money to take out Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. And in the end, the polls showed he was in huge trouble.

He was outspent. There is no conservative Barbra Streisand to to give an equivalent amount of money to Lindsey Graham. And yet, in the end, Lindsey Graham won by 10 points in South Carolina because South Carolinians liked him. So it didn't matter that Barbra Streisand didn't like him. And there is an element to that here in Georgia. Every single there's no point giving money now because every single bit of airtime on TV and radio has been purchased to get an ad on the air.

Now, you can give money, but to get an ad on the air, you've got to get a two or three states away because every single second of airtime that can be bought has been bought. And and they know that Barbra Streisand. Attacking Lindsey Graham doesn't do it, what they did learn, what they know very well, is that stealing the election does it. And I think that's that's the difference. You're right. There's a big problem in letting the Barbra Streisand's waste their money, but innocent in a sense.

Barbara threw away her money in South Carolina. And if the Democrats pull this thing out in Georgia, it will be by all the usual stuff that you mentioned, the burst water pipes, the limo, Ocean's 27 plot twist that everybody saw coming for sequels earlier. So there are there are problems, Edward. But, you know, it's it's a whole mass systemic problem with American elections. And I want to talk about that. That deserves a slightly more considered answer.

Are you in Mexico for the whole the New Year, Edward?

Yeah, just for the weekend, you know, came personal freedom.

OK, don't do anything culturally appropriate to have, like wear a sombrero and post it to Instagram because you will be canceled. You'll be out of work. You'll be having you won't be able to you'll you'll just never hear the end of that. So don't do any cultural appropriation and report back to us next week because Mrs. Alec Baldwin didn't know that the the the word cucumber.

So you report back to us on the Spanish word for cucumber. Thank you, Edward. We got lots more straight ahead.

Markstein in Farraj on the very last edition of America's number one radio show for 2020. 2021 is already here in Asia and the Pacific.

We're looking back and looking forward. Lots more straight ahead.

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 part 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.

Yes, America's anchorman is away, and this is your EIB anchor baby, thrilled and honored to be sitting in the Attila the Hun chair.

Don't forget, if you want to send a New Year's greeting to Russia, love to hear from you. And you can do it by getting a Rush Limbaugh dot com and you'll see the button. It's like one, two, three, four. It's above the big banner that says The Rush Limbaugh Show. And you click on that button and you can leave a special message for Rush. You can say mega prayers.

You can wish him a happy New Year, as he told us just a few days ago when he was given his diagnosis 11 months ago. Basically, he said he did not expect to be here for November's election or for Christmas. And he's here to see in 2021, if you'd like to congratulate him on that. Go to Rush Limbaugh dot com and leave Rush a special message.

It's a miserable new year. They're going to do this poll stupid, dropping the ball thing in Times Square with nobody in Times Square. It's going to be deserted.

There's going to be like 12 frontline health care workers present in Times Square for when they dropped the ball. But they're going to go ahead with it anyway. How lame is that? If you're looking for something to do on New Year's Eve and there's nothing going on in your town, there's nothing going on in your county, there's nothing going on in your state. Well, I can tell you where there is something going on.

If you've if you want to know why Elizabeth Warren spent her entire adult life pretending to be a Cherokee Indian, it wasn't just so that she could become the first woman of color at Harvard Law School.

It's also because you get to go to parties that nobody else can go to.

Thunder Valley Casino and Cache Creek Casino Resort in Northern California are throwing huge indoor New Year's Eve bashes tonight, the one at Thunder Valley.

This is an indoor event in the United States in the year of 2020, last night to 2020, the one at Thunder Valley Casino, an indoor New Year's celebration with 6000 guests. How can this happen? Everything in California is shut down. You you can't go to a restaurant. You can't do anything. Well, casinos located on tribal lands are not obligated to follow state or county covid rules.

I was talking, I think, on TV or radio sometime in the last couple of weeks about the University of Michigan issuing a list of words and phrases you're not allowed to use.

And along with very strange selections like Picnic, they said you couldn't use the expression off the reservation because it reminded people of a time when Indians were put on reservations by the white man and not permitted to leave those reservations.

Well, now well, now, oddly enough, the situation is completely reversed. It's party time at Thunder Valley Casino, big New Year's Eve party for 6000 guests. And meanwhile, it's the white man in the non Indian parts of California who cannot leave his home and cannot go to a big New Year's Eve party. I said back to what Edward was talking about.

I don't know where this thing is going to go. With this certification of the vote, Josh Hawley has become the first senator, I believe, to say he's going to challenge the Electoral College results, a lot of congressmen are going to challenge the Electoral College results. Among them, friends of this show, like Louie Gohmert from Texas. He's going to be one of those challenging the Electoral College results at the beginning of next week. And I don't know where that's going to go, but I would say in the in the long term that America's elections need serious fundamental reform.

The big problem and I don't I don't even want to run one of the advantages the left has when there's a scandal is that the scandal becomes too complicated for anybody to follow.

And that's true with a lot of what's gone on. Also, because the system is so complicated, people always find explanations for it.

You know, in Georgia, they've got video footage of the guys in in the counting room sending the Republicans home.

And then when they've left the room, they pull out these suitcases of votes from under the table. And we're told this is don't worry about that. It's perfectly normal in Georgia for votes to be stored in suitcases, you know.

No other no other civilized society and actually quite a few uncivilized societies, no other. We had a caller on when I was here a couple of weeks back from South Africa.

And he and I as as far as British Commonwealth types, he's he's now living in Florida. And this South Africa today is British, call it. Both types were like horrified and aghast at that moment when you witnessed an American election. And you realize it's like nothing that goes on anywhere in the planet. And it took a while for me to catch on to it because I live in New Hampshire.

And if you go to a New Hampshire town meeting and you see how elections are conducted for positions such as Sexton or Road Agent or any other elected town official in a small New Hampshire town, you think it's a fantastic system?

It couldn't be any clearer. It couldn't be any more democratic. It couldn't be any more transparent. And then you get to a federal election and you realize it's just a racket. And I don't want to talk about Dominion voting machines or anything like that. Dominion voting machines, I gather, were threatening to sue all kinds of people who talk about them. But the interesting thing is that one person who did talk about them was the chief electoral officer of Canada who wound up getting retweeted by President Trump because the chief electoral officer of Canada said we don't use the so-called Canadian voting machines in Canada because we have paper ballots.

That's how you vote.

You have paper ballots counted by hand. Anything else is a racket. Now, there's a lot of rubbish in America.

The and as I said, you know, after the fact, it's very difficult to get anything done because essentially the argument of Republicans and I would say also that a lot of these briefs I speak to someone who's been in permanent litigation for the last ten years. So I know a little about briefs. And every so often I'll say to my lawyer, do you mind if I write the first draft of this just because, you know, I quite enjoy it.

And I picked up a lot of things you should never ask for. You should never ask for a judge, a judge for relief that he's never going to give, for example.

And apparently some of these people filing briefs on behalf of the president, unaware of some of these basic things.

But you in a bit of a problem when you're asking for. When when you're asking for relief after the fact, because what essentially what Republicans have done for decades now in some places for 150 years, like in Philadelphia, which is have been a rotten, corrupt, stinking crap hole of electoral process for since the civil war, basically.

And generally speaking, Republicans have tolerated that because because Democrats have been sporting enough not to make the theft too brazen. They abandoned that this year.

And Republicans, with their usual naivete, were surprised by that.

But they tolerated this rotten, dirty, stinking, corrupt, awful system for far too long and and moving, you know, moving forward that the reason President Trump quoted retweeted the chief electoral officer of Canada is because there would be no question of using those machines in a Canadian election.

You vote on paper ballots and you keep those paper ballots in case anyone wants a recount. There's countries that have never had any electoral fraud, like Denmark, Denmark. I went back through the history of democratic elections in Denmark and they have had basically no accusation of electoral fraud because they keep it simple.

One way you complicated.

You know, we had all this talk about voter suppression, I saw some lefty, I forget who it was on TV a couple of nights ago talking about how, oh, we have these polling stations and outside you see people standing in line for five or six hours to vote.

And I'm with him.

That's garbage. And the minute you know that's going on, that's a racket. Where does that happen? It happens in Democrat run cities or anywhere else on and by anywhere else on the planet. I don't mean North Korea, but I'm also not just talking about, you know, France or Sweden. I'm also talking about places like Botswana that by comparison with America, one relatively functioning elections. I'll tell you about what happened when I used to vote in Montreal.

You get a little card, you get a little card saying this is where you go to vote. And the reason you need to be told where to go to vote is because there are so many polling stations.

So there might be one at like the church hall four blocks away, or there might be one at the schoolhouse five blocks away. So you want to know which one you're supposed to head to. We don't have enough polling stations in American cities. That's why you see those long lines. It would be simple. We spend, Bill, we're spending a billion dollars on a Senate election in Georgia, but we don't have the money to have more polling stations.

America spends more money on elections, takes more time for elections, has two year election campaigns basically, and then doesn't have enough polling stations. That's a simple reform. That would mean you wouldn't have all these long lines out on the street and that would mean that you would have half again, which is another necessary ingredient of a democratic election.

You cast the votes, you close the polls at seven o'clock, then everybody counts the votes until they're done. You don't wait. Shut down the poll at 11:00 pm at night and then mysteriously unmarked vans with suitcases of ballots, U.S. sticks and all the other garbage are being driven around all over the county, all over the state. That's third world stuff. That's third world stuff. And Republicans tolerated this because Republicans are part of the the Republicans are well known as the stupid party.

Republicans tolerated all this until the Democrats decided these losers have put up with this garbage for so long. They put up with it in Philadelphia for 150 years. And they think they can handle it. They think they can handle it. Well, not anymore, because this time they decided to steal the thing openly. Oh, stopping counting at eleven thirty at night.

We'll see in the morning and all through the night the unmarked vans with the votes in suitcases, with the USB sticks being it's all rubbish. Paper ballots, more polling stations. The polls close at 7:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m. you count them until 10:00 pm. You're all done. That's it. Two dozen counties two months after the election and two dozen counties still can't tell you the results. The Democrats ran the Iowa caucus. That's what should have been the warning bell.

They ran the Iowa caucus back, whatever it was last week in January, first week in February, and still can't tell you the actual results of that Iowa caucus. That should have been a portent of what they had planned for the rest of us because that was an old Democrat operation, paper ballots.

And more polling stations, it's not difficult, and the more difficult you try to make it, the more corrupt it is and the more useless Republicans like these guys in Georgia who go along with it, the more no Republicans are ever going to win any meaningful election ever again.

We will take your calls. Straight ahead, Markstein for us on the EIB Network. Let us go to Cindy in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Cindy, you're live on America's number one radio show. Great to have you with us. What's what's on your mind today, Cindy?

Mark, you're my favorite next to Rush. And I just have a message for the people of Georgia people, the people of Georgia.

You're not just voting for your state. You're voting for the entire country and our freedom. So do off your asses and vote no excuses, no talking to you and roll over and submission. You know, there's no shame in a possible defeat. The shame is in not having done your civic duty to protect and preserve our republic. So get out there and vote, please. It's not over till the fat lady sings.

I know that's politically incorrect, but and I'm ornery and I'm ready.

So you're well put. Actually, I knew you were. You know, there's no. What did you say? There's no shame in defeat. That's that is that is correct. I think I think my old school song used to have a line to that effect. But you're absolutely right. The shame is in not participating. So basically what happens in Georgia is that you can't complain if you're just sitting there and you don't go to the polls. We know there's going to be a percentage of votes that are improper.

And we know that the dirty, stinking, rotten, corrupt Georgia court presided over by Stacey Abrams, dirty, rotten, stinking, corrupt sister is going to let all those improper votes stand. So the only way you're going to overcome that is if actual legitimate voters in Georgia go to the polls in huge enough numbers to overcome these fake votes. Signed off on by Stacey Abrams. Sister, you're absolutely right about that.

And Cindy, you know, I pray every day for that Mark, and there is great power and prayer. And I won't give up the ship no matter what the outcome, because this country is too great to throw over to communism. I love it. Yeah. And that's.

Yeah, and that's exactly what Rush says on the on the front cover of the January Limbaugh letter.

You can never you can never give up on it. And there's a lot of fatalism around. But as you say, Cindy, the shame, the shame is in sitting it out. The shame is in sitting it out.

And I can't understand that because because people just for the record, people should say you can't steal enough. We're going to have a high enough turnout that you can't steal enough where we're going to overcome.

Stacey Abrams. OK, Stacey Abrams, sister, in any functioning court system, a judge would recuse herself from a suit funded by an organization controlled by Stacey Abrams, but not in the dirty, stinking, rotten, corrupt courts of Georgia. They don't do that. So all you can do is turn out in massive numbers and overcome that. Cindy, you're absolutely well.

And it well, it won't be hidden. The dirt won't be hidden forever. It will be revealed at some point. And I want people not to lose heart. Just keep on. It's an old cliche, but keep on truckin. Don't give up. That's what they want us to do. Don't give in or you'll never be able to live with yourself.

No, that's true being asked to do. We're not being asked to do anything that that countries around the world haven't been asked to do. You wake up one morning and you realize that the corruption has gotten so bad they've just stolen the defining feature of a free society away from you.

And that is a fair election. America doesn't have fair elections. We know that just from your own eyes what was going on.

And and the way to resist that is to resist it.

Great to be with you. On America's number one radio show, Rush will return in 2021 if you're fed up with the season of guests host and let's face it, who isn't?

I was thinking of devoting the the last hour of the show to to who is the lamest guest host. Nah, nah. I'm just I'm just kidding.

Believe me, I don't want any honest calls in response to that.

But if you are fed up with the season a guest house, it does drag on a bit. I can see that there's a solution to it, though. You can go to Rush Limbaugh dot com and become a Rush 24/7 subscriber. It means what it says. You can get Rush 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year. You have access to an archive like no other in broadcast history where basically, I think I mentioned this a couple of months back, basically 2020 is the centenary of radio.

There was the Marconi Company in England did an experimental broadcast with an operatic soprano singing a couple of numbers.

And then somebody in Montreal did one where they broadcast some songs and sketches to the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa.

And then Katie, I think it's KTXA in Pittsburgh, started up and broadcasts the 1920 Warren Harding Republican landslide results live.

Now, those are the days, by the way, 1920. You got the election results on Election Day. Imagine that. And they were able to broadcast them and give you the results as they came in and wrap up the election live on on the first regular commercial radio station in Pittsburgh. So we're celebrating the centenary of the medium this year. And Rush has basically been number one for a third of the entire history of American broadcasting. That's absolutely unprecedented.

There's nothing like that in any other field of artistic endeavor, in any other field of media. It's quite unparalleled.

And I hope, you know, I the rush is such a modest person in some ways he's quite shy about all his own achievements.

And I just hope he realizes how absolutely extraordinary and unprecedented, not just in the United States, but anywhere on the planet, that is.

And you can get access to Russia's huge, unprecedented archive, the old TV show. You can watch him on the data cam. It's a terrific experience. Go to Rush Limbaugh, not buy it for a friend.

If you blue Christmas and your loved ones aren't speaking to you because you got them rotten gifts make up for it with the nice New Year present by going and getting them a subscription to Rush Limbaugh dot com rush 24/7. Just go to Rush Limbaugh dot com.

You'll see the Rush 24/7 button and it'll all be taken care of for you. This is Mark Stein in for Rush.

There are some stores we live in insane times. I love all this talk of healing. Healing. Trump has been a great divider. Trump has been a great divider. So now Biden's going to heal us all.

Is the reality of this a Wisconsin health care worker at the Aurora Medical Center in Grafton, Wisconsin. Purposely removed more than 50 vials of the Moderna covid vaccine from a refrigerator, rendering them useless.

It is hard to hard to imagine.

There were certain, you know, it's 40 years ago, but it's that shouldn't be that long. We're not talking about dramatic changes in human nature. Or maybe we are. Remember when President Reagan got shot and he was taken into hospital and he's like joking to the medical staff. Hi, I hope you guys are Republicans. He was making jokes premised on the fact that if they were Democrats, they might not be so eager to save his life.

And that was a joke, because back then, President Reagan was confident that whether they were Democrats or Republicans, they were, first of all doctors and they would save his life.

Now you can be taken into hospital.

And a some guy will have deliberately ruined more than 500 coronavirus vaccine doses intentionally in order not to save you, but in order potentially to kill you.

Perhaps that may be the hope.

That may be the satisfaction that that guy gets, that he causes an uptick in the Korona fatality rate in Grafton, Wisconsin. So.

So you can't really do that President Reagan joke when you're being wheeled into the operating room these days, because for all you know, they might actually want to kill you like this guy at the Aurora Medical Center in Grafton, Wisconsin.

We live in very bizarre times, you know.

One of one of the just looking ahead, again, a bit long term.

To all this healing and unity thing, there is actually, I think and this is this was the genius of the Trump campaign four years ago.

There was a chance to break the old left right divide, which has basically been the same since the French Revolution and the populism movement showed signs that that that it might actually be cracking and we might have a new political realignment.

One of the problems with the Democrat Party is that they increasingly serve a group of special interests. So if you belong to privileged minority groups, they'll do certain things for you. So you get your same sex marriage, you get your open borders, you get your transgender bathrooms and all the rest of it. The Republican Party doesn't deliver to its base, the Republican Party serves the interest of its donors. That's why, for example, making China the dominant economic power on the planet does nothing for people who vote Republican.

And so the Republicans who advocate for it. I've never had much interest in Koch brothers Republicanism.

I'm always I'm in a suit.

The guy invented the climate change hockey stick, has been suing me for whatever it is, eight, nine years now. A guy called Michael Mann from Penn State, pathetic vanity lawsuit, but it's in the incompetent septic tank of DC Justice. So it's chuntering on. It'll be coming up to its second decade soon. It'll eventually be Michael Imman vs. the State of Markstein, because I'm not going to live long enough to see this thing finished.

But this is basically he's always accusing me of being in the pay of the Koch brothers. I'm not in the pay of the Koch brothers. I don't even like Koch brothers Republicanism. They're open borders, Republicans, libertarians and and all the rest. They're not where I am.

And the great thing about the Trump thing is that he spoke to millions of people. Whose concerns hadn't been addressed, who just had to sit there as the mill closed and the factory closed and there was nothing to do in town because all the jobs were in China now. And the only jobs left for your kids where your daughter could do the night shift at the quickie crap and your son could become a heroin dealer, where you meet a more interesting range of people than you do at the quickie crap.

And that that was all there was.

And I thought we were in for a great a great realignment to go back to what Edward was saying about Barbara Streisand sitting there in Malibu and saying, oh, I'd really like to take out Lindsay Graham. So thinking that she knows better, Barbara thinks she knows better.

Than the people of South Carolina who their senator ought to be, and they be and they they're openly a party of elites, they're never going to be interested in blue collar, working class Rust Belt voters ever again.

And meanwhile, you have the Republican the Republican Party, which is basically a party of no was a party of donors until Trump came along.

You know, they would raise a lot of money from their donors. And then Trump came along and actually exposed that you don't need donors, you're going to have 100 million dollars like Jeb Bush and you can burn a hundred million dollars. He would have had actually had more fun burning it. Instead, he threw it at Iowa and got two point four percent. People wanted a wider choice. People are not this. People are dissatisfied with the choices they get.

People are dissatisfied with this choice in Georgia. Frankly, they understand that they have to do it. They have to get these guys over the finish line because otherwise they're going to these these the Democrats will control the Senate. They'll make D.C. a state. They'll make Puerto Rico a state. They'll make Helmand Province in Afghanistan a state because we've been running around there for 20 years. So it's like kind of like America anyway, isn't it? Why can't they be a state, too?

What about the Sunni Triangle in Iraq? We got we still got guys there after after 20 years. Why don't we make them a state, too? This is this is what Democrats will do, because they exercised power seriously and all the time. This actual Georgia thing is a microcosm of what's wrong with our approach to it. Oh, vote for us and we'll hold the line. Oh, OK. OK, if I have to. But for God's sake, that's not enough.

That's not enough. In the end, I want to do something more than hold the line and you don't really hold the line anyway.

It just means you surrender incrementally, are pushed back inch by inch by inch by inch by inch. I'd actually like you not to hold the line and take some of the enemy's stuff, take some of our opponents tough once in a while.

Would it be too much to ask for a party that could do that? And at some point when this Georgia thing is actually very quickly, when this Georgia thing is over?

Because then we're going to have the following day.

We're going to have all this stuff with Louie Gohmert and the other guys objecting to the Electoral College the very next day and a day or three after that, we need to actually start seriously thinking about where we where the where the base.

And it's easier. In free societies, it's easier for the base to get itself a new elite than for the elite to get itself a new base.

In the end, even Mitch McConnell needs needs us more than we need him. And it and so once you understand the realities of that power, once this Georgia thing's over, we need to think seriously where we where we take all that.

Markstein And for us, add the golden EIB microphone.

Always an honor. We'll take your calls on this last hour.

The straight ahead, Markstein in for us on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network. Let us go to the Emerald Isle, not the Emerald Isle, as in poor, beleaguered island, as I was mentioning last hour. But the the municipality of Emerald Isle in North Carolina, Doug is on America's number one radio show. Happy New Year. Doug, what's on your mind?

Happy New Year, Mark. Thanks for taking my call, Mark. I'm kind of a simple guy, but I got a question when when we had when we had 10, 15 people across the country get sick with Latisse and now the 15 or 20 got sick with asparagus. They pulled all the lettuce and all the asparagus, all sales. And no way to get this stuff because it was tainted. Well, all of a sudden we got all these stinking, rotting ballots in all these states.

If we're going to get lettuce and asparagus for 10, 15 cases of people not dying but getting sick, I am sick to my stomach. And so were millions of other Americans about how this election and all of a sudden these ballots appeared. I mean, yeah, they should they should throw these ballots out. Let's start all over again. Listen to lettuce and asparagus. People had to photos that step away. Let's throw this stuff away. And I start all over and like you said, let's use a paper ballot.

Let's get rid of the voting machines and let's have real people, real ajoint Republicans and Democrats. Let's sit down together and count the ballots together.

Oh, you know, yeah. It isn't actually hard. It's only, as I was saying last now, it's only because it's been over complicated. If you're your lettuce and asparagus analogy, Doug is actually quite right because that's true. Six or seven people get sick and they recall that product of every supermarket shelf in the land. And they do that all the time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. People get sick if one person gets a splinter from toilet paper, but you won't find paper anywhere.

No, go ahead. I'm sorry.

No, no, you're you're absolutely right. That's what's interesting here, is that the the judges and the media take the opposite view that they say, oh, you know, well, OK, yes, there were 341 votes. So there's 800 dead people voting in this county. But it wasn't enough to change the results of the election. And so they're basically that's the equivalent of basically saying, well, OK, yes, some people got sick and died from this toxic cumquat.

But unless the toxic cumquat kills 51 percent of the population, we're not interested in recalling it.

So you're you're absolutely right. They don't bother saying, okay, but ninety nine point ninety nine percent of these letters is legitimate. They basically say they're all going to go in the trash here. Here, absolutely. Disgracefully, American judges and American secretaries of state and American governors think that there's an acceptable level of fraud. They say, OK, yeah, there was fraud, but it wasn't. We we don't know that it was a lot of fraud.

We know there was some fraud and we're OK with some fraud. That's how this garbage starts. And as you say, it's very different when price chopper tries to do that, Doug.

You're exactly right. More and another thing is that it doesn't sense this doesn't fit their narrative if they're not interested. But trust me, if Trump would have won and there would have they would have found 10 ballots somewhere in some creek that were for Democrats and they would have wanted to have the whole thing thrown away and start all over. But here we've got hundreds and hundreds of thousands of ballots that are not just wrong, but I mean, not just questionable, but totally wrong in these these cases coming out from under tables after everybody leaves and and ballots being found in trash cans and creeks and rivers.

Hmm. If that if that doesn't stink, Mark, if that doesn't say, hey, look, we need to do something and I am so glad this isn't it, Senator, hopefully that's going to raise an objection.

Yeah, it is. He's going to raise it.

Good for him. And if and what what makes me so dacko mad is all the other Republicans that are sitting back saying, why is he doing that? Why is he doing that? Had absolutely zero backing from his Republican constituents. You know that. You know, it's appalling to me.

You're absolutely right. Doug, thank you for making that point. And and the last bit is important to Josh wholely shouldn't be some weird fringe figure in objecting to this. You know, if you're a so-called moderate Republican, if you're Mitt Romney, if you're Susan Collins, if you're one of these reach across the aisle types, they're planning this for you to every Republican should look at what is going on in these so-called six disputed states, swing states, and be absolutely ashamed of making a glorious quarter millennium republic a laughingstock to the planet and its inability to conduct elections.

We'll be back in a moment.

America's number one radio show, we got a final hour still to come.

Yes, it's the very last hour of the Rush Limbaugh Show for the.

Stingingly rotten year of 2020, it's already 2021 in the Chatham Islands and Lord Howe Island, if you don't know where they are, one of them's Spada, New Zealand one.

Them's part of Australia. They're both rather nice. The Chatham Islands, if I remember correctly, has a quarter hour time zone.

We know that like in North America, Newfoundland is on a it's an hour and a half ahead of Eastern Time. It's on a half hour time zone. It's the basically it's the oldest Canadian joke that the world will end at midnight. Twelve thirty in Newfoundland. But but I take it to the next level.

At the Chatham Islands, they got quarter hour time zones. Nepal, Nepal is also a quarter hour time zone.

And in fact, I believe it's already twenty, twenty one in Kathmandu. Now it is to all my friends in India, in Delhi and Bombay, it is already 2021 and we are expecting it to be 2021 in about ten hours here unless the all powerful Foushee decides.

That it is not safe to let us move on to 2021 and he wants to keep us quarantined in 2020 for two or three extra months.

Meanwhile. The New York Post reports that a nurse has been suspended after stripping off the PPE, the personal protective equipment, to have sex with a covid-19 positive patient.

And I was wondering where this was, whether this was in one of New York's many afflicted old folks, homes where the blood drenched Governor Cuomo has dispatched so many infected persons. But in fact, it's in Asia. It's in Indonesia under the central Jakarta police. The nurse has now been arrested. He's a male nurse and he had a strip toy out of his PPE to have sex in a toilet. This is in a Muslim country, by the way.

So this guy has taken a few risks to have sex in the toilet with a man infected with covid-19. And then as an aside, I don't know whether you do this when you have sex in a toilet. It's such fun to, like, post it to Instagram and WhatsApp and all the rest of it afterwards. So this guy posted to social media shots of him having sex in a toilet with the covid-19 patient and the PPE lying on the floor as they got it on together.

And I only mention this obviously for medical reasons, public health reasons. Afterwards, the two guys were given new coronavirus tests and the covid positive patient was still covid positive while the male nurse getting making the beast with two backs.

That's what Shakespeare called. Actually, I don't think it is the beast with two backs necessarily in this case.

But however they were doing it, the nurse still remained negative.

That's from The New York Post today. I want to go back to.

And what we were talking about just at the end of the last hour, this business of nobody wanting to go near the election fraud.

And so God bless Josh Hawley and the significant numbers, I think it's over 100 now of Republican congressmen in the House who have decided to object on the 6th.

You got to do this en masse because obviously nobody in state legislatures and nobody in state courts and nobody in the Supreme Court.

Has decided that they have the courage to confront this because it's not just that there's going to be riots outside your particular courthouse or your particular legislature, but the mob is going to be at your door.

They'll find out where you live or they'll find out where your children go to school and they will be there.

So discretion is the better part of valor, to put it mildly, for a lot of these guys. But I would actually be and I find it so unpersuasive, this idea that, oh, well, yes, it's not an exact science. There may have been some fraud, but the fraud wasn't enough to change the election.

OK, I would like to have actually had a ruling from Chief Justice Roberts bench on what is the acceptable percentage of fraud in an American election. I would think that would. That's actually and that's actually an important enough issue to get some clarity from the highest court in the land. There's nine judges. I would have been interested to know what five of those judges could have come up with.

As an acceptable level of fraud in an American election, it would be nice to have some clarifying jurisprudence on this from their various honors, but instead they booted that Texas case and that told us that that even on the highest court in the land, there is.

There's actually basic, I would say a basic cowardice from confronting what is the defining issue doesn't really matter if you have courts, doesn't really matter if you have elections, if those elections are not fair and cannot be appealed to the particular authority to to determine the outcome, then there's no real point to it.

So I think I think they were wrong to boot it.

But I also learned something else from that. I said when I was Haeju in the Army CONI Barrat stuff, she, you know, she's got nothing against. Seems a perfectly nice lady and generally quite sound on a lot of the issues. But here's the problem for Republicans. When you when you're betting the farm on judges, you're basically playing on defense. The fact is Democrats are kind of relaxed about this. Then they're threatening to pack the court and they may well pack the court.

But they generally take the view that Republicans obsess about the court because they lose everywhere else and the courts your final backstop. So you say, OK, well, this is gone. That's gone. We've lost this. We've lost that. But don't worry, the the Supreme Court will get five guys who will come up, come through for us on the Supreme Court. When you do that, you're already playing defense. So we should actually again, it comes back to the hold the line thing.

Oh, don't worry. We'll get Amy CONI Barrett on to the Supreme Court. And so even though we've largely lost Chief Justice Roberts, the the the rock ribbed originalist, or even though we've largely lost him, we've got Amy CONI Barrett.

So it ought to be a six three call, but it'll still be a five four court because John Roberts has wandered off the reservation, as you know, let's say, anymore. But the whole thing is is looking at the world upside down when you're when you're obsessed, when you're dependent on a judge to hold your constitutional republic together. Are you playing defense? You've already largely lost it. And as we've seen, it's asking a lot in an age when people the mob can be outside your house in minutes, it's actually asking a lot to require five people to have such integrity.

That they will that they will stand in opposition to the prevailing winds of the culture like that, so so betting everything on judges.

And again, we're told, you know, say what you like about McConnell McConnells, an expert parliamentarian. He does. He gets all those Trump judges. So there's 50 judges.

There's 50 judge vacancies that will if Biden takes over. And if these two guys win in Georgia, there's 50 judge vacancies waiting to be filled by the United States Senate that are unfilled, basically because McConnell let the Democrats flimflam him on that.

Some of these judgeships, vacant judgeships, lower court, lower federal judgeships have been unfilled since four years ago because some Democrat senators filed a blue slip, which is something some ancient parliamentary procedure of no meaningful, substantive significance. It's just the sort of courtly gentlemen's thing where somebody objects to somebody from the judges state, objects to him being being nominated because he used to be because he had unpaid gambling debts or some personal flaw like that, which was a disqualifier.

And so you could object if you were from the same state as that judge. The Democrats did what they always do because they're serious about power and they weaponized it. So there are now 50 judgeships that are being unfilled by McConnell and which if things go badly in Georgia, the Democrats will get to fill.

So I'd like us to back up a bit from all this judge. Judges, judges, screw the judges. A judges republic is a contradiction in terms, in terms. There should be no such thing. You've got to win out in when in reality and you can't surrender all the language, because when you surrender all the language, then you have you talking in leftist bromides who count every vote. Then you get so-called Republicans like this guy Barroso in Wyoming surrendering the language and saying, oh yes, let's lower our carbon footprint.

So eventually the only language left becomes Democrat language. So you're framing critical issues. What should be normal public policy issues like like immigration, law enforcement, whatever you want to talk about, you start talking about them in leftist terms. You're disarming yourself. When you surrender the language, you're disarming yourself. You're basically saying, I'm going I'm going naked into the arena. All the words that mean anything the Democrats tell me I can't use anymore. So I'm just going to use Democrat words and lose.

And then you say, but don't worry. Don't worry, OK? We may we may lose this and we may lose that, but we're going to expend all our energies getting this judge to sit on this bench. And that judge will say this. And this case, we had it like FastTrack. Oh, Amy by Donald Trump. Trump is putting in Amy CONI Barrett stooge. He's putting his stooge to do his bidding on the high court. And then ten minutes later, I'm not interested in this Texas case.

How many times you have to get suckered. If you talk about judges or judges, judges, judges, judges, you're already playing defense. And it's like, hold the line in Georgia. I would like you guys in the Republican Party. Everybody gives money to you. Gotta go to go to Georgia Senate runoff dotcom now go to Supreme Court nomination dotcom now send money now. Send money now. Whatever money you've got, send it to us to hold the line enough with the holding the line.

I'd like you to actually win something. I'd like you to take some of the enemy stuff. I'd like you to actually move the ball down the field. Is that too much to ask? OK, we'll do it for Georgia. We'll do it. We'll we'll do this. Hold the line garbage till January the 6th. But after that, I want some guys who will move the ball down the field.

Markstein for us, your calls straight ahead.

The last Rush Limbaugh show of twenty twenty. Let's go to Mark in Westerville, Ohio. You're up next on America's number one radio show. Happy New Year, Mark. Great to have you with us.

Happy New Year. To Mark, my question for you is that if you remember, there was a new postmaster general and there was conjecture of fraud with him. They had weeks of news of sorting machines, drop applications. They pulled them in for conferences and question him. Then after the election, there was no nothing there was nothing to say. Now there's no evidence of fraud. So my question for you is like. What do they have to lose?

What did they have to lose? Why is it OK for the public to put up with such obvious hypocrisy of investigations before the election, but not afterwards?

Yeah, the whole thing was that Trump had gone to war against the United States Postal Service and they were all talking about him actually having these drop boxes carted away and that all mystery as it as it often does with these things that all mysteriously went away once things had gone the Democrats way.

And so now, I mean, this idea of drop boxes, this idea of just leaving boxes on the street for people to vote is crazy. Crazy. This whole way we conduct the election is crazy. They they basically weaponized the covid as a means of quashing self-government. That's that's what they did. And they now said, oh, relax, what's the problem? Count every vote. Count the votes of people who were born before the civil war, count votes of people who are citizens of other countries, count votes of people who are nine years old.

What's wrong with just a few more votes? Just relax.

Stop being so uptight about about all of this, all of this stuff.

And the fact is the fact is they were never going to be consequences to letting these guys run everything.

And by the way, also, we should learn the way they reacting to this by big tech. Big tech. If you if you think something fishy is going on in Georgia and you tweet about it or you Facebook about it, and they put this health warning on it, saying there's no evidence for this, everything's on the up and up. That's the way it's going to be with every single public policy issue now where Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and Google and YouTube will increasingly not let you disagree with the official narrative.

I mean, that's basically straight out of George Orwell. There's an official version and you're not allowed to have an alternative to the official version.

But this idea that we're supposed that's supposed to be something nice and. Well, go look at these. Look at the this this nice little old lady in Michigan. She's 137 years old, but she still took the trouble to get to send in her mail in ballot. Who when? Look at this person here. He's actually a citizen of Honduras, but he so loves America that he wanted to vote in Georgia. I mean, this is garbage. And yet what's disturbing about it is not that the Democrats are on board with it and the media are on board with it, but but like 90 percent of the Republican establishment doesn't speak out about it, Mark.

That's what makes me sick, to be honest.

I agree. And my question would be, what do we have to lose if you can do it beforehand? It's all conjecture. Now, when we have a little bit of proof, what do you have to lose is the question?

Yeah. Yeah, no, for now.

Yeah, no, absolute. Absolutely. And the Silence of the Republican Lambs. Is is about the most distressed because they think, oh, you know, if you just be quiet and we go along with this, then we'll have a shot in 2022. What do you mean you have a shot in 2010?

Actually, I'll back up a little bit further, Marc, just just so we're all clear about where all this nuttiness is going. This is supposed to be a self-governing republic. And so you elect citizen legislators to legislate.

Now, we've we've wrecked the election bit. We've so screwed that up with all these voting machines and USB sticks we made. There's nothing when you go on a USB stick, you can just keep jamming it in. As we've seen on video in Fulton County, Georgia, you can just keep jamming in and over and over and over and over. And however many vote, 2000 votes that are on that USB stick, you can keep sticking it in there and counting those votes, feeding it into the machine multiple times, then we have if you do actually elect legislators, then you have 6000 page laws.

That's not a law. No human being can read that law. It's it's not legislated by the legislators. It's not even legislated by the legislators staffers. It's written by lobbyists. And they only know that they got theirs. They they know the page or two they wrote. And nobody knows anything else what's in that law. This is a disgrace. We are in a post constitutional order. I hear a lot of guys talking about the Constitution.

A 6000 page law is post constitution.

Great to be with you on New Year's Eve.

As the stroke of midnight makes its way from the Pacific to Asia to Africa and Europe and will soon be here in the United States, there is a lady called Abigail Cao, won a NACCHO who is 94, lives in Hawaii and is in fact a princess.

She's a descendant of the Hawaiian royal family that ruled the kingdom until they were overthrown in 1893.

And she's managed to get a 142 thousand dollar, whatever it's called, the paper paycheck protection program loan 142 thousand dollars from this covid PPY thing that's supposed to go to pay employees of Dayna's and gas stations and what have you.

She's managed to get 142 grand to pay her personal staffers because her 250 million dollar fortune is tied up in a legal dispute. She's 94 years old, a Hawaiian princess, and she got 142 grand from the BP to pay her nine personal staffers.

Don't let Meghan Markle in now living in Beverly Hills with poor old Prince Harry. Don't let Meghan Markle hear about this, because those who have been kicked off granny's payroll and if they find out you can get taxpayers money to pay for your personal stuff, as Megan is going to be in on that deal. I just want to quickly mention.

Mr. Snidely always goes on to me, if I don't self promote until the third hour now I'm in the third hour and I'm self promoting.

We have a Markstein cruise next year. A lot of people enjoy always get a lot of Rush listeners on the cruise. Very convivial. I notice people in blue states particularly enjoy it because they don't have to guard their tongues while we're at sea.

You can find out more. Markstein Cruise dot com.

We will be cruising Europe, hitting all the great spots Rome, Cartagena, Gibraltar. And that's not the kind of Jenah where the the Secret Service has the Cartagena hookers. It's a different Cartagena, Marseilles, Monte Carlo, great fun. And we always have lots of good guests and special guests for you as well. You can find out more by going to Markstein Cruise dot com.

It's always fun to meet Rush listeners on that cruise, and I hope we'll have a good turnout from Rush fans on this year's cruise.

Let us go to John in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey. Great to have you with us. Happy New Year, John.

Happy New Year to you, Mark. Thank you for taking my call, sir.

Listen, I just want to say how disgusted I am with the, as you called it so well unit party that we have now in Washington, D.C.. I really am absolutely amazed at the pomposity, if you want to call it that, of these people who have had their hands in the till so deep it's up to their armpits and they can't seem to get the testicular fortitude to come forward and speak up for President Trump and our republic. And I am only known of two or three, maybe four Republicans that are actually sticking to the conservative message and the message that we have to save our republic.

ABSA Absolutely. And when you talk about saving the Republic, we now have a an all powerful state micro, presuming to have the power to micro regulate every aspect of life, including core fundamental First Amendment liberties like the right to freedom of speech and the and the right to freedom of religion and the right to freedom of movement and the right to freedom of association. We have a state that says, sorry, we locked you down for two weeks in March.

And for some reason the two weeks has dragged on until New Year's Eve. But you're still forbidden to do your job, is still forbidden to go to church, is still forbidden to take your family to go and eat a cheeseburger in a diner. And yet this dirty, rotten, corrupt unit party. And they say to us, well, you know, covid covid covered. This is this is like being at war. You have to make extraordinary sacrifices.

Well, Rand Paul and a couple of others are right. If the citizenry have to make extraordinary sacrifices, then why don't the unibody why why do we say, oh, yes, you're broke, you've lost your business, you're stuck at home, your parents died untouched by that, by anybody human in one of Andrew Cuomo, disgusting long term care facilities. But at the same time, we're not going to give up on our racket of giving 700 million dollars to Sudan.

Why is it only the citizens that have to make sacrifices and not the Washington Yoona party? John?

Yeah, the last time I looked, they work for us. And yeah, I also read on where why are we passing a bill to continue the government? Why are we giving them their paycheck? You know. I know. Yeah. In a bucket what they get paid compared to what they're taking from the trichomes and everywhere else that they have their fan fantastic paychecks coming from. But you know what? They need to suffer as well. They need to be in the trenches with us because we are their boss and we are forgetting that.

And that's right. The only way that the only way to take care of this, I've said to my friends and I've said to my family, the fight is we the people. Absolutely we. Yeah, the people.

We should have more power than we are showing them that we have because we're backing up. We're putting these muzzles on. They're not masks. They're muzzled. They're telling us we can't go to church, can't meet with our people on our family on Christmas. That's so we don't talk with one another and say, wait a minute, I'm against this and we don't have a group talk and then we don't know, oh, you're a peaceful protest talk anymore because everybody's scared to death.

Yeah, no. Yeah, no, your and the the difference is, it's like it's like we the people, they've divided the people into the essential people and the non-essential people. Van Morrison, the great Van Morrison, Van Morrison, the sage of Northern Ireland, made this point in a tweet, I think it was last week, where he pointed out in response to some UK thing about essential workers, frontline health care, whatever it was, he said, we are not all in this together.

If you're a government worker, you haven't lost a penny. If you if you are, on the other hand, some musician who happens to play in the group that backs Van Morrison, you haven't made you haven't made a penny since March. It's over for you.

And the fact that so the fact that the burden is not being fairly distributed, the fact is, if you're a bureaucrat and we've had this and it's even worse here, actually, because at least, you know, Angela Merkel knows that it looks good to actually vaccinate a an old person.

So she finds some Spanish flu survivor who's 102 year old, 102 years old, and gives her the shot here. We just have this weird thing where we're showing bureaucrats and politicians and political staffers, you know, they're taking care of themselves. We're not all in this together. And so when you say, oh, Mr. Politician, Mr. Senator, Mr. Congressman, you say, oh, this is war. You got to make sacrifices or even worse when it's just some bureaucrat for life like Foushee.

Oh, you got to make sacrifices. You got it's like a war. You got him well in a war you don't normally if it's a war, then then take it to the enemy, which is basically the chai coms, and don't take it to your own people. What kind of war? Who needs to be conquered by a foreign power drivethrough? Minneapolis drive, Portland Drivethrough, small suburban communities where the nice little coffee shop has closed, the Italian restaurant has closed.

The hair salon is closed. Yeah, who needs who needs foreign enemies when the ruling class is willing to do this to its own people? That's what's disgraceful about this thing. And I mean that phrase, the union party, because I don't I don't like the rhetoric coming out of these Republicans. These guys. Oh, these guys. It's almost like they're pleased that they're moving back to the pre Trump Republican Party and I ain't going back there with them.

So if that's the plan, you're going to have to come up with another one, because I think there's like a lot of those 74, 75 million people are not going to be gone back to that pre Trump Republican Party.

Markstein in for a rush on in the in the dying embers of 2020 and 2020 cannot die fast enough. I do not know what 2021 will bring. There is. There is talk of the great reset, all these globalists, the Davos jetset, the ones flying in their private planes to Davos and making plans for the rest of us far below as they fly above us at 30000 feet. They've all settled on this phrase, the great reset, the great reset.

In other words, it's not just it's not it's not enough just to have a lousy pandemic that's killing people. We have to we have to use that lousy pandemic to construct an entirely different kind of society.

And if you haven't terribly much enjoyed the last nine months, that's basically the model they're using for the great reset.

It's a thing all the privileged people flying around, jetting around in their planes, going to meet at Davos, all the clever people. All the ones who know what's best for us, not just the politicians, but the Zucker bags and the weird beard who runs Twitter and all that guy, all those kind of guys, the great reset, it sounds well, no, it doesn't actually sound nice, does it?

Who the hell elected these guys to reset the planet? They're not done with us. They're not done with us. And they're making plans for 2021.

That is that is seriously going to make a lot of this rubbish a permanent Markstein. And for us, thank you for that poll. We need we need actually to demand if you're going to run as a conservative, if you're going to raise money as a conservative, it's not enough then to sit back. And like Barroso in Wyoming, as Rush was complaining about last week, then get elected and suddenly start talking like a Democrat. It's not enough if it's not enough and you should be punished for that, you deserve to be punished for that.

We got one guy there, some guy who wanted to get rid of Columbus Day. And I think I lost control a little talking about him, and I gather he backed off on that a week or two after that, it's not enough.

It's you take our money, you take our votes, and then you talk like Democrats. Well, nuts to that. Enough with holding the line.

Serious conservative leaders like Reagan and Thatcher move the line.

You don't hold the line. You move the line into your opponents stuff.

Mark Stein for us, the dying embers of 20/20 and the last Rush Limbaugh show of the year.

We got more straight ahead.

Hey, it's 20/20, so anything can happen.

A vicious squirrel is terrorizing Queens in New York. It's like an emem a cage match. And there's violent, aggressive creature has left Queens residents afraid to leave their homes. It's not just the covid. It's not just the Antifa. It's not just the teenagers who trashed that BMW in broad daylight on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. It's now a killer squirrel who just runs up your leg and left Queens resident Micheline Frederick, the latest victim. She sustained eight bites and numerous scratches, including at least one on her neck.

There is no end to this stuff.

It's no secret. It's been a tough year for us at the EIB Network. It is basically 11 months since Rush received his terrible cancer diagnosis.

You heard him talk about that last week and shortly after receiving that diagnosis very shortly, he told all of you who are the most important people to him other than his family, because the connection that Rush has with his audience is like nothing, absolutely nothing that is that has ever been in radio.

And he's the mayor of real he's been totally upfront about this painfully up front for those of us listening last week when he said he didn't expect to be here for this Christmas, but he has stuck it out for us. And the message, his New Year message, his message for January 2021 is that front cover of the Limbaugh letter never give up on America. And I I am so tired of this. Rush is a man who is in great pain, who is undergoing severe medical treatment, and yet he has more strength than perfectly healthy so-called conservatives.

And I cannot express enough my admiration for how Rush has conducted himself this last terrible 11 months.

We're going to close it out in just a moment.

Now, I'd like to thank not just Ali and Trash and Mr. Snyder for taking care of today's show.

I would also like to say a word about an old acquaintance we lost this year, and that is Walter Williams, who is no question the most beloved guest host in the history of The Rush Limbaugh Show. And he told me a lot.

Walter was a lovely man and he told me a lot about what it means to be a guest host.

And he died a few weeks ago and we shall miss him. An old acquaintance we shall never forget here on the EIB Network. It has been a terrible year, a stinker the year, not a year we thought we would ever have when we came in on January the 1st, 2020.

But, you know, things go bad and things go good.

But one thing is constant.

This is America's number one radio show and the indispensable man, Rush Limbaugh is going to return for some first footing in the new year rush back in 2021.

Happy New Year to you all.
