Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast. Come on, folks are going to keep the faith. Stick with me here. Stick with me. Greetings. Great to have you. Great to be with you. I've been looking forward to this ever since I went to bed last night. At what time did I go to bed? Yes, it's about 11 o'clock when I figured the rig was in. I said this is not going to change and it still hasn't changed.

Fox News still too early to call a bunch of states that they know Trump has won. But anyway, anyway, I really do. I consider it I consider it a blessing to have an opportunity to be with you all today. The telephone number, if you want to be on the program, is 800 to eight two two eight eight two. And we'll get the phone calls today. The email address is Rushville at EIB Net U.S.. Look, I know that many of you were up all night.

Many of you are anxious. Many of you are walking on the ledge. You are frustrated, you are ticked off and legitimately so. You are angry at everything you play by the rules. You do it up and up. You want to legitimate when you play by the rules and you get up and you realize every day the other side isn't playing by the rules.

One thing that I said yesterday, and I'm going to keep saying it again today, keep the faith, folks. Just keep the faith. That the America we know at the America we love is preserved and will continue to be preserved, the American way of life is going to be preserved. Keep the faith. The best days of our country are still ahead of us. This was a devastating night last night for the Democrats based on their expectations, they once again believed their polling units.

It's uncanny, folks. I can't tell you how down in the dumps devastated and blown to smithereens the Democrats really are today. And you can read about it if you know where to go to look.

We are going to re-elect we did we have we've re-elected Trump, a man who loves our country. A man who unabashedly loves our flag, our traditions. Our founding. He worked tirelessly to win every single vote, not ballot. This is another thing, Kamala Harris out there saying we're not going to stop till every ballot. No, no, no, no, no, Cami, we're not going to count every ballot. We're going to count every legitimate vote.

It's a big difference. And right there is where Cumi, which is short for Comilla. That's how she says her name should be pronounced. I think it's rather clever, don't you, to call her Commy for short? She's out there saying we're going to count everybody. No, you're not. If we have to go all the way to the Amy County buried Supreme Court, you are not going to count every ballot. We're going to count every legitimate vote, we're going to play by the rules, we're going to win playing by the rules despite.

The fact the other side does not. Folks, we've got there's nobody better fighting for us and our side than the guy who's already in the White House, Donald Trump.

Look at how hard he worked to win every single vote, and I still believe strongly he's going to be re-elected. He has earned it his tremendous achievements, the implementation of a great agenda that he promised to implement and did and folks, again, there was not a gigantic blue wave as the media tried to sell us for months and months.

Their polling was as wrong as I told you it was going to be. And I don't mean to sit here and do. I told you so. I told you so. It's not about me proving I was right. It's just we know certain things after we've done this long enough. We've been involved in it long enough. We've seen it operate long enough.

We know. We knew there wasn't going to be a blue wave. We know there wasn't any kind of enthusiasm behind Joe Biden and there still isn't is a generic guy that's getting older looking by the day it has a D next to his name. The polls, as expected, could not have been more wrong.

There was a gigantic turnout, the Democrats I can't tell you how depressed they are today that Trump was not repudiated. I've got the audio sound bites coming up, you will hear from their own oral cavities.

That would be mouthes for those of you in Rio, Linda, how devastated and disappointed they are that the people of this country did not repudiate Donald Trump. That's what they really wanted to happen.

You got to remember, they figured that they were going to win in a landslide.

They have thought this since Election Day, Inauguration Day, 2000 17. I'm not kidding. They thought 2016 was a fluke. You know, whatever lies they told themselves. And they lied to themselves every day for four years with the lie compounding in intensity to the point that they literally believed the people of this country hated Donald Trump as much as they do. Donald Trump was not repudiated last night. Donald Trump was re-elected last night. Time will show us this.

You know this, when they stop counting, it means they're looking for Democrat votes. It means they don't have Democrat votes, it means they got to go find them, we are wise to their ways now. The Al Franken technique of finding my looky here, we don't want a trunk of a car here and a Joe Biden rally. Why? We got we got 500 ballots here in the trunk of a car and a Biden rally. Where do we find me?

And look at they're all for Al Franken. Remember how that happened? That's what they're trying to pull off in all of these states. Arizona last night.

Can I tell you what that's about? You want to know what Arizona Fox News calling Arizona? Do you want to know? What do you think that was about? I see you guys talking amongst yourselves in their.

Are you disagreeing with the point I'm making here today, is that what you're doing is you talk to yourselves in there? Let me talk about Arizona. A Cindy McCain despises Trump hates Trump. Maybe understandably. Fox News. They've got big problems with Trump. I mean, there's Trump yesterday. On Fox and Friends before I appeared, and what's he doing, he's ripping Fox News. He's on Fox News, Fox and Friends, his favorite show, and ripping Fox News at the same time, if I'm one of the Murdochs, he's going to pay for this.

If I'm one of the Murdochs, if I'm Rupert or one of his two sons, I think I've even heard friends that the Murdochs have said, you tell Trump if he keeps this up, then we're not going to allow him. We're not going to have him on anymore, is it? Yes. We're not going to put up with it. OK, so you've got Arizona.

I mean I mean, if the polls close, they call it for Trump with all of those ballots outstanding, it's personal. It was absolutely personal. But Trump's going to end up winning Arizona. I'll explain this in. He's going to win Arizona. Trump's going to win Arizona. I think he has. I mean, just this is just a matter of this playing out. There's great lawyers on the case in Arizona. But, folks, the bottom line here is I'm and I'm not trying to be what's the word phony in my optimism here, I'm not trying to be something I'm not genuinely feeling just to make a programming mark today.

This did not go the way the Democrats dreamed it would go last. There are two different stories today. One is in the Politico. There's another one somewhere else about how this was a devastating night for the Democrats.

Yeah, the hills outcome and the political devastating night, because they lost they didn't lose control of the house, but they lost some powerful freshmen that they thought were locks like Supreme Court justices are lifetime. They lost they lost the Hispanic vote in Florida. They have lost a racial component they thought they owned forever.

And in Florida represents a model for what the Republican Party, if they're smart enough to figure it out, how they can make what happened in Florida, happened in a bunch of other states going forward, winning the Hispanic vote in four whites. So huge Democrats never saw it coming. But I'm telling you.

They were hoping these people are vindictive, they are single mindedly hateful, they sense, let me go back since Inauguration Day 2017, they have been waiting. And they have been dreaming, they have been hoping, they have been planning on they have been counting on you and every other American telling Donald Trump to go to hell yesterday.

And that didn't happen, there was massive Republican turnout for Donald Trump. They can't believe it. I've got all of this coming up in audio sound bites.

You will hear it, as I say, from the oral cavities of various Democrats in the media.

They literally thought Trump was going to be sent packing. They were hoping. But it didn't happen. Trump's troops showed up in a massive number. Landslide type numbers. The media tried to tell us a gigantic blue wave was coming for months and months, the polls, as expected, could not have been more wrong.

I mean, strikingly wrong, but that raises another question, what our pollsters. If you think pollsters are people that reflect public opinion, you're wrong. So I could make the case that the pollsters did their jobs, I could make the case that the pollsters don't feel disappointed. They did their jobs. They shape public opinion. They suppress they try to suppress Republican turnout. In that sense, they failed miserably. Republican turnout was through the roof. Specifically for Donald Trump.

Trump is going to win this now I this doesn't mean that I'm not living and it doesn't mean that I'm not ticked off and mad like all the rest of you are. Because I am now we're going to go through here just some random thoughts, combined with bits and pieces of knowledge and fact that I have acquired this morning as I have engaged in Daily Show prep. And I talked to people, a White House, who really think.

They're going to win this, they're trying to win without being seen as overturning any existing votes, they think they have the counts in Arizona and Pennsylvania to do it, and they aren't leading in Arizona. Here's a story about a Trump campaign manager on why he's still confident in re-election. The name is Bill Stepien. Confident, troubled, be re-elected only happens, he said in a phone call with reporters today, if there are no shenanigans. Now, Trump has promised to go to Supreme Court, if need be, to stop states from counting suspicious ballots.

Because the Democrats are pushing the countless ballots. They know that if only legal votes are counted, not ballots, that they win, they are confident in the White House and they made this known in a phone call to various. Reporters, what do you mean, why am I. OK, let me let me review for you why I'm confident just so so that I don't want anybody to think that I am striking a pose here because I'm not doing that.

That would be misleading you folks, if I if I literally thought. That this was over and they were going to lose. I tell you, I've got no reason ever to mislead you about anything. You being positive versus negative arguably isn't going to change what's going to happen? There's no reason for me to keep you artificially. Up, if it doesn't matter, your votes are in. You have vote, and by the way, you did it, you did show up and you voted in overwhelming numbers.

But let's take a look. What is the track record for Donald Trump? Remember the coup that they ran that was designed to reverse the election results 2016, that was a four year operation, arguably still ongoing. They didn't have a shred of evidence they had. I mean, there should not have even been an investigation. There was never any fact. There was never any collusion, meddling. What? The Russians did not do anything. There was nothing to investigate.

And yet. The Mueller team investigated and everybody in the drive by media was part of it, and they ran a coup, they ran a silent coup. Who won? Donald Trump, then they threw Stormy Daniels, who won Donald Trump. How many negative tell all books have there been out there filled with lying disinformation about Donald Trump who won the books are Donald Trump. Trump says they spied on his campaign, they did, but that's not even half.

Of what happened, they weren't spying on the campaign, they were attempting to implant and embed. Operatives who would reach out to Russia. And make contact so that they can then establish that Trump campaign was colluding, but the Trump campaign didn't hire any of the people the FBI tried to embed who won?

They've tried to get Donald Trump thrown out of office and put in jail over his taxes, who's still in the White House? They impeached Donald Trump. On a phone call that now turns out to be the epitome of legitimate he was asking Ukraine to look into. The corrupt arrangement between Joe Biden's son, Hunter, and Barack Obama, he was exactly right. Who won? Donald Trump.

They didn't convict on impeachment. He's still their. covid-19, they have done everything shut down seven states that are still shut down, they have destroyed the economies in their own states, in their own cities.

Donald Trump. Still in the White House attack after attack, he has beat all of this back.

There is nobody better prepared to beat them on this than the guy who beats them on everything.

Rush Limbaugh in the afternoon and the Eastern Time zone on the EIB Network, 802 eight two two eight eight two. And we'll be chatting with you as the afternoon unfolds. Here is Bill Stepien, the Trump campaign manager. This is from the conference call he had with reporters not long ago. And here he is. He's talking about the votes yet to be counted in Arizona and Pennsylvania.

Anywhere from two thirds to 70 percent of these votes are coming for the president. That math adds up to a margin as DNA of around 30000 votes in the president's state of Arizona with the votes that are still being counted will come the president's way. The president wins Pennsylvania by 40000 votes, by 40000 votes.

So they are expecting the president to win, by the way.

They the keyboard clacking you heard is one of the journalists on the call quacking away, typing what Stepien was saying.

So he's pointing out here anywhere from two thirds to 70 percent of the votes that are coming to the president are coming to the president. These are the votes yet to be counted in Arizona, in Pennsylvania. He said the math adds up. To a margin at the end of the day, around 30000 votes in the president's favor. Arizona, with the votes that are still being counted, will come to the president's favor and come his way and the president expects to win Arizona, but I'm sorry, Pennsylvania by 40000 votes, Arizona by 30.

That is their latest tabulation. They say the minute Fox called Arizona last night, I turned to captain. This is not going to. This is something really, really wrong about this.

And explain it even further when we continue after this.

And we're back. OK, folks. Now, as I as I said moments ago, we are going to just be combining a bunch of random thoughts as they occur to me with. Known facts as they exist, complete with audio sound bites here. And. Here's a little bit of a compilation of of some random thoughts that I know is probably going to describe the vast majority of it to a T. We play by the rules and this is how we view ourselves.

Sometimes we play by the rules to our detriment, but we want to play by the rules because we want every victory, every win to be legitimate. We don't want a phony win. We don't want to have to win the way Democrats do. Stop the count, find votes that we don't have.

That's just not who we are, and it's a big deal, it is a major difference between those of us, I could say, on the right, but it's not I don't even think it's a left right rubric. It's it's more about character and class. And we. Play by the rules. We want legitimate mandates, we win, we want it legit, we don't want anybody saying that we stole it, that we cheated. I realize some of you think that the circumstances are so dire that we are at a point where no rush, no, you're wrong, we must do whatever it takes.

That's where I'm confident in Donald Trump. He'll do whatever it takes within the framework of legality. That's how he functions. You know, of all the people in Washington, D.C. that have been investigated, nobody has been more investigated. And Donald Trump, they don't have a thing. They don't have a single thing on Donald Trump. Look at all they can put together on Biden if they were serious about it and wanted to or anybody else in that town.

That town is a walking cesspool. It's one of the reasons everybody wants to clean it up and drain it. It's a walking cesspool. Of people who think they are entitled. To behave outside the rules, outside the boundaries of propriety, that's what that's what status means to them. That's what status in the Washington establishment or in the deep state means to them, that they don't have to obey the rules, the rest of us please do.

And that's one of the many reasons we want to get rid of them. They're poison. They're poison for the American way of life. They are poison for our government. They set up a class system, a multi tiered system with them in the top tiers, they exempt themselves from all of the punitive restrictive regulations and laws. They pass on all the rest of us. And that's what they consider to be their entitlement. They think that's what achieving and gaining power in the deep state the Washington establishment entitles them to.

And this is why we want them gone. Because there can't be. A legitimate American way of life, if the people in charge do not have to obey. Common sense laws and regulations, if they don't have to obey simple laws of right and wrong and morality. This is why we want them gone. They, on the other hand, look at being able to live and exist and work and play outside. The boundaries of normalcy as a perk.

But it isn't Donald Trump that lives outside the bounds of normalcy, it's not Donald Trump that's going around committing crimes that can be investigated and found and proven. A lot of other people in Washington, yeah, but not Donald Trump and not members of his family. They are clean folks. Four years of investigating Donald Trump every which way, but not he got nothing. We obey the laws. We try not to cheat. In the case may speaking personally, I try to do all the things that my parents raised me to believe are right and wrong, I've never forgotten them.

I am governed by. What I think is moral. And immoral, and I'm human and I feel. Now and then what we try. We do not structure our lives. To say that we are better than other people because we can exempt ourselves from the law or morality or right and wrong, but that's what we're up against. And in the old days, people like us used to prevail on the strength of right and wrong, but seems like lately people like us are a bunch of chumps, a bunch of fools.

We're out there obeying the laws. We're out there doing what we can to live a straight and narrow life. We fall off the ledge now and then, but we're try. Yet the people who are flaunting all this and laughing in our faces and telling us are a bunch of kook nerds seem to be getting away with it all. And now we get to an election where when they're losing, they can just stop the count, they can corrupt the media, they can corrupt TV networks, they can go along and.

Come up with phony polls to try to suppress voter turnout. And it's designed to make you think. That the choices you've made in life. Are the wrong ones you need. To be hip like they are, you need to realize that regulations and laws and right and wrong and morality, why, that's for chumps.

That's for the people that you rule, that's for the people that your government, that's for the people that you tell what they can and can't do. You probably did not go to your neighbor's yard and rip a Biden sign out of the grass, if you can find one. But yours was probably stolen, your Trump sign probably defaced or stolen, you might have even been personally threatened, but you let the Biden sign alone.

You didn't use. Your absentee ballot to try to get more votes. Your candidate, you use the absentee ballot as it was intended, they use early voting and the absentee ballot. And Maylin, specifically, to overcome the disadvantage, they know they have that in a straight up fair election, fair turnout, they're going to lose. In the Electoral College. For years now, we've been we've been blasted with. People who cheat, people who defraud, people who steal, they lie, they break laws.

Ripping down our history, ripping down statues, all of this crazy stuff that got communist Marxist organizations parading as civil rights organizations like Black Lives Matter and Antifa. Doing everything they can to undermine liberty and freedom on a world wide scale, we're doing everything we can to hold on to liberty and freedom, economic, political, you name it, because it's the future. It's the natural yearning of a human spirit to want to be free, not to want to be controlled.

To want to be lorded over. I mean, look at the horrendous cheating and the spying and the phony investigations and the acts of treason that have gone on in just one event. Trump colluding with Russia, I mean, folks, I still can't impress upon you, even though you've heard me talk about this now for four years, there was never anything to it. All they ever had was a steel dossier which was made up. Not not a single word in that dossier is true.

It was written by people paid by Hillary Clinton. Everybody knows this, but the fact they did it. And they tried to pass it off as legit, and it wasn't. And now now it's been pushed under some rock somewhere that's been there, done that, that's old hat, we don't want to be reminded that that amount to anything.

The thing is, I'm not alone in describing myself here, you, Trump's base, we're all the same. We try to be good people. We know we're not perfect and we know by no means are we better than anybody else but our. Our existence is rooted. In a Judeo-Christian ethic. That has been present since the founding of the country, it's unique to the United States of America, unique to Western civilization, which itself is under attack and under assault.

We're trying to hold on to it. We went to this election. We played by all the rules. Even the stupid, even we even put up, I warned everybody, I thought this is a disaster waiting to have these mail in ballots, it was an abject disaster. Go back July 30th, 20-20 me on my own program. Audio sound bite number one in three, two, one mail in balloting.

Immediate tabulation, like with absentees is simply not possible. Democrats are fighting in New York over who won a primary election in June. We're here at the end of July. We still don't know who won a primary election in June because they used mail in votes. But for the general election, I think the Democrats want this kind of chaos. I think they would love it if we didn't have a result on election night or even the next day because they are going to make the case.

Obama has already set it up. He fears voter suppression and he fears Trump questioning the legitimacy of the election. The Democrats want chaos in the general election. They want to manipulate elections until they can control or eliminate them. And I'm serious. Do not doubt me. The Democrats are looking forward to the day where they can eliminate elections and the elections will happen, but they'll be like elections for Vladimir Putin. We haven't talked about this with President Trump on the mega mega radio rally, October 9th, 2020.

I said, Mr. President, mail in ballots. Some have been discovered undelivered. Others have been delayed. Voters are confused and frustrated. What can we do about this?

This is going to be the second biggest political scandal in history. The first biggest is the Russian crap that we've been going through for three and a half years. That's the biggest. Every day I'm seeing accounts of ballots that are thrown away. You saw the military ballots that were thrown away with my name on it the other day. Every day you see a scandal about these millions of ballots. It's being sent out. It's the single biggest risk in this election.

If this kind of stuff were happening to me, if I were a candidate, I'd have my people on this. So what are you what are you doing about it?

We have many lawyers and we've actually been winning many cases. How about where they have the ballots counted and the ballots have to be in by November 3rd Election Day, but they don't have to be counted for two weeks later? Well, that means you're never going to know who won the election.

The key point right there, the ballots have to be in by November 3rd, but they don't have to be counted for two weeks.

Got to take a break.

We'll come back right after this meeting. And surpassing all audience expectations, daily basis. Rush Limbaugh, we were winning last night, folks. We were winning big last night. Don't believe anything else. That's why everything's been brought to a screeching halt. We were winning big. That's why they stopped the counting. You have to ask yourself a question, why is it that every state that is not a swing state run by Democrats can keep their act together on election night?

Why is it every state except swing states run by Democrats, every other state can count the ballots, can get them in by the end of the night on election night and tell us who won except swing states run by Democrats? What does that tell you? Huh? It answers itself, does it not? Here is August in White Lake Michigan as we get started on the phones. Glad you called, sir. Hello.

Hello, sir. Thank you. Russia's got me so fired up if I could do it. I've come to give you one of the biggest hugs ever. Trust me, I have. This president is going to win again. He's going to get another four years and we're going to put this country together back on track. The sky's the limit and God himself will have his hand in this. We are going to be united and we are going to move forward.

We're tired of all the nonsense. We want love and peace in our lives. He's created peace there you have it, right? Right there it is. Right there it is. We want love and peace in our lives. We want our lives to be pleasant. We want to at least be content, we know that happiness is an elusive thing, it's an objective. It's in our founding documents. We as the normal human existence endowed by our creator, it says certain unalienable rights, meaning they can't be taken away, that's what inalienable means means they come from God means are part of your creation, whether you believe in God or not.

You're born with inalienable rights as a human being, they can't be taken away. Among them are life, as we discussed yesterday, liberty. The pursuit of happiness. Stop and think the founding fathers creating the founding documents of our country. Decided to identify three things. That are specifically unique to human beings. As a result of their creation a while, the belief that we are the product of creation. Not some. Inexplicable, gigantic big bang we are.

Children of God, and they decided that they would identify three things. Unique. To human beings for the purposes of founding a nation. Liberty, freedom and the pursuit of happiness. A lot of people think that happiness. I don't know about you, I've met people who think happiness is almost a sin, it's not something to be enjoyed because life is meant to be suffered. I know people who have been raised this way. If they're not suffering, then they are.

Their life is too easy. But I don't believe life is meant to be suffered and I don't believe we were created. With the express intention of suffering, it's part of life and we have to learn how to deal with it because there is plenty of suffering, but.

The pursuit of happiness, that's what we all want, we don't get there, but we certainly want to be content. We want our lives to be peaceful. And we want love in our lives and this stuff that we're faced with every day by political opponents, either ups, all of that we're fed up with.

Anyway, I got to take a break because I'm out of time. Sit tight. There's much more straight ahead.

This is why I've been saying, ladies and gentlemen, Democrats, the left have to be defeated consistently. Every opportunity they have to be defeated anyway. First hour in the can.

We have two more to go and we'll get right to them before you know it.

And greetings to you once again, ladies and gentlemen, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain. It is time for yet another excursion into broadcast excellence hosted by me, Your Guiding Light. Rush Limbaugh here at 800 to eight to two eight eight to the email address you want to be on the program is and EIB net dot U.S.. Now, I haven't been able to confirm this, but I happen to think this is probably true, Wisconsin now has more votes than people who are registered to vote.

The total number of registered voters in Wisconsin, three million, 100, 29000 rounded off. The total number of votes cast in Wisconsin is three million two hundred thirty nine thousand nine twenty. So three point one million registered voters, three point two three million votes cast. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. How does that happen?

I mean, that is direct evidence of a voter fraud.

Trump people are totally aware of this. They are as up to speed on this as there's nobody better to be running this. Then the Trump family and the team of people that they have put together, there's nobody better to be running this operation. There's nothing that's going to surprise them. There's nothing that's going to get sneak past them. There's no trick they haven't seen that they aren't prepared for. This is this is this is not the Trump family and the team they have this is this is not the old, shall we say, Republican Party of 20 years ago where we believe the way to behave was to lose with honor and turn the other cheek and let's not get political.

Let's not get dirty. Let's not be politics. Soyo the office of the president. That's that's not who we're not we're not dealing with that anymore.

We're not dealing with a Republican Party that believes its duty is to lose when honor, we're dealing with a family. That only knows one thing winning, winning, winning, and I'm not trying to be cliched. Mollie Hemingway with a tweet, this is repeating the Stepien conference call. With the media this morning. Just to remind you again, this is a 10 15 this morning, Bill Stepien says if all legally cast ballots are counted. Even by conservative estimates, Trump wins on the call, Trump team says Trump will win Arizona by 30000 votes.

They're pointing out that their data has been right thus far, including a close race in Wisconsin when the media claimed it was going to be a Biden blowout. The media hasn't been right about any of this stuff. Their polling hasn't been right about any of it. Last night or this morning, 122 a.m. Eastern Time, Sean Davis. Since Fox News made its utterly indefensible early call for Biden in Arizona, Trump has cut Biden's lead by nearly a third and we are still only at seventy seven percent reporting.

Fox made their call with 73 percent reporting, then another four percent of the vote was counted and Trump had cut Biden's lead by nearly a third.

That Arizona call that the investigation of that. Is it I think it's going to reveal some fascinating things that are going on in the bowels of the decision desk at the Fox News Channel. I think you've got in Arizona, you have the McCain family, which just hates Donald Trump. They despise him. Ever since, you know, if you're if you're the McCain family, the one thing you must do is genuflect toward John McCain if you don't. Why something wrong with you?

And Trump doesn't and hasn't genuflected toward John McCain. So I don't I don't have a whole lot of respect. For military people to get captured, well, that's all it took. Since then, there has been abject hatred for Donald Trump within the McCain family. The McCain family runs Arizona. The McCain family is the Republican Party in Arizona. They have been away. They devoted McCain's funeral to trying to destroy Donald Trump. McCain's funeral, a national cathedral, which Trump.

Allowed them to use they devoted the eulogies at the McCain funeral to trying to destroy Donald Trump, it was a never Trumper express on parade. You think that they're not going to avail themselves of every opportunity they can and you've got FOX, which is no doubt mad, they let they let the president go on the air and he spends half the time he's on the air ripping Fox.

While giving him all that time, I'm sure that they're miffed and ticked off about it. You got some never Trump airs at Fox to Fox. I mean, I don't want to name any names, but you do the bunch of them in there and some of them are on the decision desk. You think they're not going to take advantage of an opportunity? To harm Donald Trump. Damn straight they will. That's what they think they're Purkis, I want to go back to the first hour, you and I, we we're not part of the establishment in Washington.

We're not part of the deep state. The people who are consider it a perk not to have to obey.

Standard norms of behaviour or regulations in the law. That's what being a member in good standing of the deep state means. It means that one of your perks is you don't have to. Obey the regulations that are passed for everybody else. You're exempt. That's a huge perk. And here comes Donald Trump, and he wants to shut that down. He wants to drain the swamp. He wants to eliminate. One of the big perks of being in the Washington establishment, other words, he wants people.

In government to be held accountable rather than get a pass, well, being part of the establishment means explicitly not being held accountable to name names. Take anybody in the Russian. Coup. Name one of them that's gone to jail. Name one of them who's even been charged. They've all still got their CNN gigs. They broke the law like you can't imagine the law being broken, broken. Everybody knows it. That's the perk. Trump wants them held accountable.

You think they're just going to sit idly by, let Trump do it? Not they're going to do everything they can to ruin him and destroy him and his family. And he knows it. And you know what, folks? It hasn't made him chicken out. It hasn't made Trump back off. Trump has said, you know what, I'm going I'm going to stop draining the swamp, you know, we don't need to do it. He hadn't done that, has he?

He keeps talking about draining this. Every shot they take at him is met with a pushback. Still in there fighting for you folks, and he's doing it now. With these election shenanigans, you remember Frank Luntz, Frank Luntz is a famous pollster and focus group researcher and he's hired by countless numbers of American corporations to do market research. So he's essentially a pollster. And Frank Luntz has been all over television the past few weeks, suggesting that if the pollsters get it wrong again, that that ought to be the end of the line, for we ought to be the end of their business will be the end of their reputation.

He was so certain the polls were right, they're not going to get wrong again, he said. The polls are not wrong, Trump is going to lose in a landslide and it's going to be a blue wave, Frank Luntz said. Charlie Cook did ditto Charlie Cook, the dean, the guru of this stuff inside the Beltway, assuring everybody the polls are dead on. Trump is toast. Trump is history. He's going to be swept out of town in a blue wave.

It's Biden plus eight, it's Biden plus 10. Then we have our famous Nate Silver, who's been making excuses ever since last night, actually, the day before yesterday.

Well, lunch was wrong. The pollsters were wrong. So, Frank, you know, I guess you're going to be telling these pollsters to close up shop. Because they've lost all credibility. Actually, I have thoughts on this as the program unfolds, but that's not what Frank Luntz is going to do. You know how I have reminded you over the course of many, many years. The news business is the one business in America where the customer is always wrong.

If you read The New York Times or watch CNN or whatever, CBS, ABC, and you don't like what you see your customer, your consumer, I mean, you watch them, you read them, they have advertising. You are a customer when you are patronizing mainstream news.

So you call them and say, you guys are so biased, you're so unfair. What do they tell you? You don't know what you're talking about. They say you're not smart enough to follow what we do. You aren't you're nowhere near sophisticated enough to understand our business. So screw you. And they laugh at you and they make fun of you. And then they deny that they're liberal and they deny that they're biased. They blame you. So I want you to listen to this.

It's a Frank Luntz. Not long ago on the Fox News Channel. He being interviewed by Brent Bayer. Said after the last round in 2016, we heard that there were adjustments being made, that the pollsters had a better sense of the Trump voter and that the mistakes of 2016 wouldn't be made. I mean, you guys were going to get it right and that you had it right and Trump was toast. But, Frank. It's actually worth. This year than it was in 2016, pollsters got it wrong worse in 2020 than he did in 2016.

How do you explain it? Because it's impossible to poll them.

The fact is, a lot of people want to send a message to Washington, to the swath. They want to send a message that they're not going to be treated and ignored and forgotten and lied to. And so they simply don't cooperate with pollsters. So it's your fault. Did you hear that? It's your fault that the professional pollsters can't do their jobs, Mr. Snowden. Did you hear that? It's your fault you trump voters specifically, it's your fault you can't be trusted, you can't be polled, you're smarter than the pollsters and you lie to them.

They they can't do their jobs because of you. My goodness, folks. Holy smithereens. Now they're blaming the customer again, they're blaming you because they can't find a way to get you to tell them the truth, and they don't think that there's any responsibility on their part for this current state of affairs. Why, Frank, why are people not honest with pollsters, could 2016 having to do with it? Could the daily drive by media presentation have anything to do with it?

Could the fact that Trump voters think. That pollsters and the media are trying to destroy Donald Trump. Could it have anything to do with it? We're not doing this. This is not happening in a vacuum. There are reasons people do things. There are reasons people behave as they do. Because it's impossible to pull them. The fact is, a lot of people want to send a message to Washington, to the swamp, they want to send a message.

They're not going to be treated and ignored and forgotten and lied to. And so they simply don't cooperate with the pollsters. Means they're outsmarting the polls, it means these idiot Trump voters are finding a way to ruin the pollsters reputations, right, Frank?

Man, oh, man, I never thought I'd see the day. These Trump voters, they must be pretty, pretty crafty. They must be pretty sneaky, they must be pretty sharp if they've found a way. To humiliate and embarrass these massively popular, profoundly expertise. Polling units. These hayseed hicks. These people that live out there in flyover country. Have found a way to outsmart. The smartest of the smart inside the Washington Beltway, the pollsters.

I find it fascinating anyway, folks, bottom line, your fault, your fault, they're screwing up your fault. Nate Silver can't get it right. Your fault. Charlie Cook. Wrong again. Your fault. ABC, CBS, NBC, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, take your pick of all these Kumbo polling units, it's your fault.

Because you. Have found a way. To undermine their business, if I were you, I'd be feeling pretty hot about you, feeling pretty good. Mike, stand by. I may not use number three. It may not be what I thought it was. What am I looking for here?

That stick? Stick with me here, folks. I know I've got it here somewhere. Well, let me find out after the break at the bottom of the hour. There is a story at the Hill Dotcom today. Frank Luntz, polling profession done after election misses devastating to my industry. So he's he's been consistent. He did say weeks ago that if they got it wrong. In 2020, that it would be devastating to my industry, quote unquote, Frank Luntz declared the polling profession has done story today after this year's presidential election, in which a number of polls appeared to show a much brighter picture in various states for Democrats presidential nominee Joe Biden.

They did get it wrong. Let me grab a call. People have been waiting patiently this Jodi Naples, Florida. I'm glad to have you with us. How are you doing?

Hey, Rush, I just want to thank God, first of all, for giving you another day, because we need to hear your voice today. Hey, I just wanted to say, I think that after yesterday and no matter who they award the presidency to, it's time for us to take back our freedoms. And, you know, let's get rid of the stupid NASCAR mandates requiring everybody to wear a mask everywhere. Let's get back to hugging each other and shaking hands.

Let's go back to church. Let's not worry about how many of our family members and friends we have over the holidays. Let's just take our country back. Well, that's one way of doing it.

But there are some of these some of these Democrat governors. And I just I just want to say I feel duty bound to warn you. They it's governor of California, even though a court in California has tried to rein him in and shut him down, they are fully prepared to put people in jail. If they violate these edicts and California, you can only have a certain number of people over for Thanksgiving, got to wear a mask the whole damn time you're inside, except when you're eating and you're going to put them back on soon as you're finished eating.

You can only have certain family members over. It's it's it's restrictive as it can be. And it's an attempt to shut down Thanksgiving. Christmas is going to be the same way. So if you're going to advocate, screw that. We're going to go where?

We're going to go to church. We're going to not wear the masks that they mandate. Just be.

Informed, be aware that some of these Democrat governors will have no babe in Michigan as governor, she'll have no compunction whatsoever about putting people in jail or threatening to. They are feeling the power. I mean, these states, ladies and gentlemen, are a teachable moment. They are a microcosm. Of who today's Democrat liberals are. Take your pick. Gavin Newsom, J.B. Pritzker in Illinois. Andrew Cuomo in New York. The governor and in missioner name escapes me at the moment.

Still can't hear you. It sounds like you're saying, Widmaier, I'm having I'm having I'm having a mental block on her name.

The guy Murphy in New Jersey, they are showing you what life to the whole country will be about if they acquire that kind of power. Their states are still shut down and they're threatening extended shutdowns, lockdowns, and one hell of threatening all of the social restrictions. Already exist, they're threatening a continuation, many, many teachable moments. Out there, at any rate, let me see if I can find what I thought I had here in the audio sound bites, because it's Democrats are just devastated.

Trump was not repudiated. Let me be back right after this. Don't go away.

Hi. Welcome back. Great to have you. Rush Limbaugh executing assigned host's duties flawlessly as a household name and all four corners of the world. By the way, the Trump campaign now made it official demanding a recount in Wisconsin because there are more votes that have been counted than there are registered voters in Wisconsin. Also very odd, Michigan. Michigan found over 100000 ballots. Yeah, they just came across 100000 ballots, and you know what, every single one of them has Joe Biden's name on them.

That's right, my friends, Michigan was set to be a state that went to Trump, but miraculously a bunch of early votes were found in every one of them was a ballot with Joe Biden's name on it. And when I say everyone, I mean every one of them. Every single found ballot. Had Joe Biden's name, there was not one of these 100000 ballots. With Donald Trump's name on it. I have a different take on the pollsters, but there are a lot of people.

Oh, man, they got it wrong again looking at it. No, they didn't.

Folks. They did their jobs, the pollsters had a mission, and it was accomplished. Frank Luntz is just running cover for him. Conventional wisdom is the pollster screwed up. The conventional wisdom is that the pollsters got it wrong again. If the polls were not intentionally wrong, the Democratic National Committee would be screaming their heads off, but they're not. The Democratic National Committee is not mad at these poll results, are you? Haven't heard anybody express anger except maybe Luntz.

Because I'm telling you, the polls did exactly what the Democratic National Committee wanted him to do, the polls went out. They don't reflect public opinion. They shape it. And they went out and they tried. To suppress the vote, they didn't succeed because the Trump vote was overwhelmingly large, but they still did their jobs. Democratic National Committee, not mad, Adam. New York Times not mad at its polling unit, Wall Street Journal not mad at its anyway, folks, there's every reason to secure your home and make your family that much safer.

And you can do it now. You can actually have a home security system where it used to not be affordable. This is simply safe home security. You know, there's always going to be a time when your extra concerned that your home is properly secured, whether it's when you leave for work in the morning or leave your place vacant for the days that you're away vacationing or what have you, simply safe's system gives you that peace of mind.

There's an effective deterrent standing in the way of every burglar.

Once you install this system, it's really cool because it doesn't use wires that take so much complexity out of it takes a lot of the expense out of it.

The system installs quickly, less than an hour, it operates efficiently, uses Wi-Fi for all of the various sensors to communicate with the base station, not wires.

Now you can expand it. As you wish, you can add sensors wherever you want without running a single wire. All you have to do is put the sensor where you want it. You go online to simply say, for USA Dotcom, you choose the components that you want, they pre-test and configure them, they send them to you, you put them where you want them in the house. Do it in less than an hour. You're up and running.

You want 24/7 monitoring, meaning there's a break in. The cops get called fourteen ninety nine a month, not 50. And there's no long term contract to sign. See it again and simply say, for USA Dotcom, you got a free HD camera with your purchase, it's a big deal. Simply say USA Dotcom. OK, audio sound bites. First up, Van Jones early this morning on CNN special coverage. Twenty twenty presidential election.

I think a lot of Democrats are hurt tonight. I think there's a lot of hurt out there. There's the moral victory and there's a political victory that say not the same thing. The political victory still may come. But I think for people who saw babies being snatched away from their mothers at the border where people are sending their kids into schools, where the N-word is now being used against them, when people have seen this wave of intolerance, they want a moral victory.

Tonight, we wanted to see a repudiation of this direction for the country. And the fact that it's this close, I think it's hurt is it hurts. It just hurts. There were people who were hoping for a big repudiation, and that has not yet come.

All you see, folks, I told you, they are devastated. This didn't this didn't end up at all like they dreamed it would like they hoped it would like. They thought it was going to they thought the people of this country were going to repudiate Donald Trump. They're going to send him packing. They thought Trump was going to get such an embarrassingly low percentage of the vote that Trump would even wait till January to leave it. Trump would just you know what?

I guess they don't want me. I'm leaving. That's what they were hoping for. They really were something like that. They were hoping to be so bad. That Trump would resign. In disgrace. They've been hoping this since Inauguration Day 2017. Do not doubt me. All the rest of this is just gobbledygook. For people who saw babies being snatched away from their mothers at the border, you got to go back to the Obama administration for that, Mr.

Johns. Those cages and those pictures of babies in cages are from 2014, Mr. Johns are from the Obama regime. Trump didn't do any of this. I don't know what the hell you are talking about, people send their kids to schools where the N-word is used as a routine matter. Of course, I have not heard of that. I'm generally pretty well informed. I've not heard of this. Where is this happening? Well, I firmly believe they think it is they have lied to themselves about so much of who Donald Trump is and what Donald Trump wants to do and what Donald Trump's done, they're so irrational that they are off the charts.

They're bordering on clinically insane. They have had four years of compressed, I mean, seriously compressed hatred coursing through their veins. They were so certain that there was going to be a blue wave last night, massive, massive landslide for Biden. This comment, by the way, from Van Jones proves that this election even about Joe Biden.

This is not about a bunch of people love Joe Biden, it's not about a bunch of Democrats, love Joe Biden, want Joe Biden in the White House because they love Joe Biden's, going to give a rat's pipsqueak about Joe Biden.

This was anti Trump. This was we hate and despise Trump. That's what this election was, and they didn't get satisfaction. They did not. Finish the night pleased. In their minds, Biden is going to win and they're not happy. What have I always told you about these people? They are never happy. You can't make them happy. They're not constitutionally capable of, but here's Barry Diller. Barry Diller used to run Fox way, way back in the old movie days.

Now he runs something called IAC Expedia. And it's a digital media and the home shopping networks.

He was on CNBC today, the co-host, a guy named Andrew Ross Sorkin, said to Barry Diller. Well, you woke up this morning and you're thinking, what?

I'm humbled by all this. I had hoped for a repudiation for all the reasons that are kind of obvious. The only way for me at least to think about this is being humble about the fact that this is a divided country in the extreme, that there is no repudiation of someone that I have felt for a very long time is a bad character.

I find this so interesting. I mean, here's here's Barry Diller, who is a product of Hollywood running around talking about bad character. And he thinks that bad character is somehow exclusively owned by Donald Trump, they can't find a thing on Trump. And I refuse to believe that Barry Diller was ever offended by the Access Hollywood video, and don't don't don't make me. Don't try to tell me that these Hollywood moguls, with their casting couches and devotion to Harvey Weinstein, would be offended by Trump and Billy Bush talking about women as they get off a bus.

In the NBC lot in Hollywood, I just don't believe that what Trump said would offend any of these guys. And would make them concerned about the character of the man. These are the people who supported Bill Clinton for crying out loud. These are the people that wanted to be with Bill Clinton when he was stopping Lewinsky. These are the people that wanted to travel with Clinton when he was on Jeffrey Epstein's plane. These are the people who may have been at Epstein's house.

Expressing concern about the character of Donald Trump. I don't make me laugh. No, I'm not saying Trump's a choirboy, but for crying out loud, ex Hollywood moguls. Of the Harvey Weinstein either, and I'm not saying Barry Diller is a Harvey Weinstein, I'm just saying they knew what Weinstein was doing and nobody did anything to stop him.

But all of a sudden, we can't well, Rush, Harvey Weinstein was not in the White House. He was he was all over the White House with Bill Clinton.

He was one of Bill Clinton's most favorite donors, Weinstein was all over the place. I don't know if he was at Jeffrey Epstein's place, but we know Clinton was. How in the world can you sit there and express all of this shock, disappointment over the character of Donald Trump? When the favorite president you've ever had, Bill Clinton is Bill Clinton. For crying out loud, yet, Monica Lewinsky. Kathleen will even look after, we want you to look at the women's lives have been destroyed by Bill Clinton.

These guys didn't say a word when it was happening.

And now they are terribly distressed, terribly overwrought that Donald Trump was not repudiated at all what it means for our divided country. And Barry Diller is the only way for me at least to think about this is being humble about the fact that this is a divided country in the extreme and that there is no repudiation of someone that I have felt for a very long time is a bad actor. What about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and all of the tricks they've been playing to enrich themselves?

And you don't think that there is anything? Questionable about that, you're not worried about voting for or supporting that. Mr. Diller, you guys out there, you're calling us racists, you call us worse names than that, homophobes, bigots. You expect us to just sit here? And go, oh, yeah, I guess that's what they think it was, screw it. We're not racist, we're not bigots, we're not sexist, we're not homophobes, we're none of these cliches that you throw at us that you've been throwing it my whole life.

After I met Barry Diller the first time. Was it a dinner party, he won't remember this. Because he didn't know who I was on my radio show, it started he couldn't care less, which is no big deal. But afterwards he said to Roger Ailes they were friends. He said, you know, I'm kind of like this guy. He's not a hater. Meaning me and Ailes told me this like I should be proud, Barry Diller says you're not a hater.

What? Why should I be proud of that?

That Barry Diller thinks I'm not. What does he think every other conservative is? So I got a badge of honor for not being a hater. It's kind of like when Al Gore. Clinton's vice president has a debate going with Jack Kemp. Who's Bob Dole's vice president during the debate? Al Gore says, Jack, you're a good guy, you're not a racist like some of these other. Thank you, Al. I appreciate that. Yeah, Limbaugh, he's not a hater, he's a conservative.

That's bad enough, but he's not a hater. I don't hate anybody and I'm not a racist bigot sexism. None of us are right. We sit here 30 years after listening to you, people that think you're a highbrow, holier than thou, better than everybody else, talk like this.

And we're just going to sit here and repudiate the one guy standing up for us. It ain't going to happen.

There are some Republicans out there that are really slamming Trump for trying to cast doubt on the the quality of the vote count.

Adam Kinzinger from Illinois, I think is from Illinois, who's a member of Congress that hates Trump. They had a falling out. I don't know if he was ever really pro Trump. I don't remember. But he's out there saying you can't go out and start trashing the process like this. You got to be patient. Just let them count the votes and either win a you lose, be patient. And then Chris Christie's out there on ABC last night, former governor, New Jersey.

You can't be trashing a system like this. And all of these people have had a falling out with Trump at some point since 2016. And this is an opportunity for some of them to get payback. By the way, a heads up, folks, the Biden campaign, from what I'm hearing, is aiming to declare victory by 4:00 this afternoon, Eastern Time. I don't know what that. Means in the in the whole legal process, but I know that he was advised to do that by a bunch of people last night.

So that's what they're apparently aiming for, a little random bits information.

Twitter has now censored four out of the past seven Donald Trump tweets. Four of the last seven Trump tweets have been censored. I mean, you could say Twitter, the new Gulaga. And one other thing, isn't it? Is anybody else interested? Anybody else aware? Anybody else cognizant?

Of the fact that so far there doesn't appear to be any Russian interference in any of this, despite Adam Schiff and the entire Democrat Party and the American media telling us that the Russians were already. I mean, weeks ago, they were telling us the Russians are already meddling in the election, we've even had members of the Trump administration, intelligence community telling us the Russians were meddling. The and the South Korea I mean, the North Koreans and the trichomes all were tampering in the election.

Isn't it amazing that there isn't any reference to that last night or through today, apparently the Russians didn't interfere. A lot of people think that Biden is going to win, the Russians didn't interfere. Isn't that fascinating?

Here is a tweet from President Trump that has not been censored. Ten minutes ago. Wow, it looks like Michigan's now found the ballots necessary to keep a wonderful young man, John James, out of the U.S. Senate. What a terrible, terrible thing is happening in Michigan.

Yeah, somehow they found the ballots necessary to keep John James out of the Senate. And a bunch of Republicans are running around telling Trump, yeah, well, you just got to accept it, man. Let it go. You do not disagree with the process, Mr. President.

It's beneath you. All that rotgut.

Hi. How are you? Not know I'm running it down. I got I need more than one source on this.

I've just wait a minute. That. Yeah. No, I've just heard that ABC ABC News has taken Arizona down for Biden. So I've got to adjust, I just found this I don't have enough time to research it myself, so I have assigned somebody to try to.

OK, so they have they have taken it away. ABC has taken it away from Biton, it's not that they'd given it to Trump, it's just it's it's still great undecided. Well, at least I took it away.

Now CNN is projecting Biden wins Wisconsin. Fox isn't. Fox says too early to call Pennsylvania, Trump won Pennsylvania, this is what you won Pennsylvania. These things were won last night, he won Pennsylvania, Michigan, this Wisconsin business, he's demanding a recount because there are more votes.

That had been counted than there are registered voters in Wisconsin, North Carolina called North Carolina last night, called Georgia last night, the Fox decision desk can't bring themselves to do it now.

Also, one other shot was just right here in the forefront of the cranial cell department.

I slipped my mind, but it will come back to me. Things always do. But Arizona being pulled down for four. Biden in Arizona, that's that's by ABC is big. That means others will probably follow CNN projecting Biden wins Wisconsin. But that's that's in dispute. Oh, I know what it what these folks here's what's happening with these Republicans that are seemingly trying to sabotage Trump.

Trump is fighting. For the same people he has always been fighting for you and me. He's fighting for this country and fighting for himself. I mean, yeah, he is, but he's fighting for us. So you've got these Republicans I just shared with you this Adam Kinzinger, a member of Congress, I think, from Illinois, is basically telling Trump to shut up and stop complaining and be patient and let the votes get counted and then deal with it if you lose.

And then Chris Christie was on ABC News. I think it's very I'm paraphrasing because I think it's very, very unfortunate what the president's doing. I think the president should trust the process.

But you realize, folks, that there are a lot of rhinos. Republicans in name only, a lot of never Trumper Republicans who are trying to position themselves for 20 24.

And that's going to take precedence over trying to help Trump win this election. A lot of people in politics are out for themselves, it's just the way it is, it is what it is. And while this is this is what I meant earlier by way of describing us, you know, you and me, we play by the rules. We have a kind of a moral code that has been instilled in us that we try to follow.

We do our best to uphold. And. We've got a guy working his tail off for us, and we just don't we don't understand his own party undermining him yet. We do. I mean, intellectually, we do emotionally. We know I don't understand why every Republican isn't all in one beating the Democrats. That's what baffles me. OK, if you cannot support Donald Trump winning, why the hell can't you support the Democrats losing, especially given who they are and what they intend?

We have these seven blue states that are shut down, locked down. They're being destroyed economically. Why in the world are there not Republicans that want those kinds of Democrats defeated? I understand they don't like Trump, not everybody is universally liked and likable, I understand human nature. What I've never understood is a bunch of Republicans, particularly in this day and age, who don't see any urgency in defeating what has become the new radical left, that's the date today's Democrat Party, you know, this bunch of people that it's never thought there's a crisis out there.

The country is not really endangered. There's nothing unique here, Rush.

You're just paranoid. You know, you're you're just you're just overwrought. But it's just the Democrats and Republicans like it always is. The ship of state will always sail on. They say it doesn't really matter who wins, they'll win their share. We'll win our share. And you got to learn to take it. So if Trump's going to lose, you're going to learn to accept it. No, that's not some.

I'm not going to accept the Democrats winning. But beyond that, I don't. See, I say I don't understand, but I do. That's what galls me. I don't. I wish I'm trying to find a way to express this, that people are going to laugh at me being naive, I really wish that the Republicans could at least understand that the Democrats have to be defeated.

But I guess if you're if you're an inside the Beltway Republican and if you're a traditional Republican and you're not part of the new Trump coalition, that is the Republican Party, if you are, you know, from the Bob Dole George Bush wing of the Republican Party to Bob Michael Wing, where you lose with honor and that defines your character.

And then you win sometimes, but you lose with honor, you certainly if your fate is losing an election and you accept it. That's what I don't. Understand? But that's who modern day RINO Republicans are. And there's a bunch of them out there and there's a bunch of them that want to run for president in twenty, twenty four. And like McCain, you know, McCain wanted to run for president. I don't know that he ever seriously thought he was going to win.

I don't think McCain thought he was ever going to beat the first African-American running for president. And I don't think he wanted to.

I don't think McCain wanted his name in the history books as the guy. Who defeated the first legitimate? African-American candidate for president. And by the way, who was it that proclaimed Obama legitimate, it was another and Joe Biden. What do you say about him? Joe Biden said it was good. Finally, we had a clean and articulate black guy, Democrat running for the president. That's what he said about Obama. There was barely any criticism of it, hardly any at all.

Yeah, Al Sharpton was offended, but who cared? Al Sharpton take a shower every day. So what do you mean? I'm clean? I'm articulate. Yeah, but you're not articulate like Obama was, and he's got a much better crease in his slacks than you'll ever have. Now, just ask David Brooks. So.

There's so much arrayed against Donald Trump because he is the outsider and what's happening to Trump is what pushback?

By the Washington establishment, the administrative state, it's what it looks like. I mean, they were never going to just sit idly by and let it happen. And if they have to jury rig elections, well, then that's what they they'll.

Well, let's see if we can maybe see that the race is not yet projected. It's ABC. Yeah, they've taken Arizona has indeed been taken down from Biden by ABC.

Yeah, I did what by the way, what happened to counting every vote? We're not doing that now.

We're letting news networks project winners. We're having newsrooms called winners, the Fox decision desk, the CNN decision desk, or whatever it is. When did this happen? I mean, when did they don't make it official? A network projection does not determine who wins elections.

The tally of legal votes. Is how you determine who wins elections and see what else to do.

Let me grab audience number six and seven, Larry Kudlow. He was on CNN, CNBC this morning talking on the program, Squawk on the Street. First question, Chris Christie overnight said the president's decision to make comments casting doubt on the electoral process is a bad strategic decision, by the way. Why is that? If you think votes are being taken from you, if you think of elections being stolen from you because they spent four years trying to steal an election from him, what is Chris Christie not see here?

But by the way, pardon my agitated state here, but all of this seems so patently obvious to me. I don't understand why Chris Christie doesn't see what's going on. They spent four years trying to steal the 2016 election from Donald Trump. They're trying to steal another one. And Christie's out there saying he's casting doubts on the Trump's not casting doubt on the process. The people running the vote tallying in these states is where doubt is being cast on the process.

Anyway, here's cuddlers. Answer to the question. Do you think it's a bad decision for Trump to be doing what he's doing?

No, I don't agree. The president was annoyed. Last night's very angry because it just seemed like time stopped and counting stopped and he had leads in crucial states and none of the networks were giving it to him. There is a suspicion here of fraud. I'm not going to declare it. I'm just going to say we are taking the proper precautions. The president is in very good shape in our judgment. We are confident he needs to pick up one or two of some key states.

Not all the mail in ballots are going to go to Mr. by and so far, very good shape on the remaining swing states. He's right about something.

I remember last night was filled with ebbs and flows. And there were a couple of periods last night where I was not looking good.

And then it turned and then it turned. And everybody on Fox, for example, started singing from the same hymnal. You know, it looks like Trump's going to win again. It looks like things are lining up. You go to other networks, same thing. And that was about the time I decided to cash it in. And that's when they stopped counting. When it looked like the momentum. In these ebbs and flows had turned back to Trump based on the vote count in these swing states.

That's when the counting stopped. That's Kudlow says, that the president was very angry. Seems like time stopped, the counting stopped just like in twenty sixteen for Pennsylvania, counting stopped for an hour and a half. And everybody knew what was going on, they were looking for votes for Hillary. And they ended up being unable to find them. Cuddalore was not finished, he had one more thing he wanted to say, I want to make another point.

It was no blue wave yesterday, OK? The Republicans did very well in the Senate. They may lose one seat, maybe not, but they are going to maintain the majority in the Senate. So that right away says, guess what? No socialism, no major tax hikes to destroy the economy. The stock market also, it was no blue wave in the house. So far as I see it, the GOP has picked up at least four seats in the House.

This was a very strong day for the Republican Party and its principles of free enterprise. Low taxes and regulations maintain energy independence and tough fair trade deals. President Trump's agenda did very well yesterday. Exactly right.

He was not repudiated. Trump personally was not repudiated much to the real annoyance and depressing of the Democrats. And his agenda wasn't either. And I fox I can't tell you. I can't emphasize enough. They really were the Democrats media. They were so hoping.

That there would be a blue wave landslide and they know that it wasn't going to be a landslide for Biden. They know that there is no. Connection to Biden, they wanted this to be pure anti Trump, they wanted this election yesterday to be able to be interpreted as a thousand percent anti Trump. They didn't care whether it was pro Biden or not. They wanted to be able to say last night and today that the nation has repudiated and rejected Donald Trump.

That's what they were hoping and praying for. They didn't get it. There's something else, one more thing before I go to the break, and I kept waiting for somebody to realize this last night, finally Bear did it on the Fox News Channel. Everybody seemed to forget sitting around talking about the obstacles that Trump faces and various things he's got to overcome to win the election. And. It was. As though nobody remembered that Donald Trump. Had to endure four years of character assassination by the American mainstream media, in other words, whatever percentage of people in this country only.

Are informed from mainstream media. You can't blame those people for thinking Trump is the biggest scumbag ever to walk the Earth because for four years that's how he has been portrayed. He has been portrayed as an incompetent boob, a criminal, a Russian agent, a traitor. There isn't an American. Politician, president, you name it, who has had to endure four years of outright character assassination like Donald Trump had to put up with and is still getting, it hasn't stopped.

And so when you want to talk about Trump being repudiated, when you want to talk about Trump being refuted and and the American people rising up and the fact that they didn't after four years of character assassination of the guy is amazing to me that he's even still standing.

I got to go.

We'll be right back after this and return back to the phones. Here is Chad in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania. I'm glad you called, Chad. Great to have you on the program.

Hi, Maggie. Dinners and well-wishers, well wishes and prayers to you. Thank you. The reason why I called is briefly, I told your screener that my wife we're here in Pennsylvania and received two mail in ballots under two different names. Now, we didn't know that we even received these until we got a phone call from an election official asking to see have her ballot had been sent yet when she said, I didn't think I received one. She then proceeded to go through her stack of stuff and found two ballots, one under her current married name and one under her name previous to us being married.

And, you know, certainly calls into question, I think, some of the religious mail in balloting. I mean, there was nothing really to stop us from sending in both ballots. And as they were under a different name, who knows if would have ever been caught. Well, I don't yeah, I I don't think there is any any doubt that this kind of thing is going on.

We have evidence it's been going on. I think this is why Trump is justified in questioning the process. There have been so many electoral changes in the last few months going back to the summertime that were obviously designed to help Biden or whoever the Democrat nominee ended up being, all this Maylin stuff, and they expanded early voting.

I mean, if Trump was right to question this stuff when it happened, he's right to question it now.

You got all these rhinos out there. It's really it's really beneath Trump and it's beneath our party to start questioning the process and so forth. No, it's not. Not when this process. Has obviously been changed, altered, whatever, in ways that are designed to assist and help somebody who would otherwise lose and in that instance we're talking about by now, the power of incumbency is incredible. Incumbent presidents rarely lose. I mean, it is so rare and the Democrats know that.

So they've come up with ways to alter the system. Mail in ballots, early voting, absentee, all of this stuff. I mean, every one of those techniques is designed to be able to be abused.

If you will, rush, what do you mean by all these things that changed over the summer? I hope the Democrats won't.

Joe Biden has benefited from a wholly unvetted mail in ballot scheme, folks, a simple question, real simple question. What do you think? The Democrats will be doing. How do you think the Democrats would respond if states began to change voting procedures to help Republicans? If state courts. Began to change voting procedures to help Democrats. That's what's been happening out there, major Republican areas all of a sudden, excuse me, came up. With hundreds of thousands of mail in ballots the next day, how do you think the Democrats would be reacting?

Just reverse all of this and these questions answer themselves. But isn't it interesting? That's never what happens. There are never trunk loads of ballots found with Republican names on them. There are never. A lot of mail in ballots that somehow never got mailed that have the Republican candidate's name on them, every one of these mail in ballots or early ballots or they all end up in big numbers having Joe Biden's name on them. Now, just reverse that.

What would the Democrats be doing if there's a bunch of recently discovered out of the blue?

Hey, look at this. Maybe we just got one hundred thousand ballots out there with Donald Trump's name. Do you think the Democrats should be talking about respecting the process? And not questioning what's going on. So Joe Biden has benefited from a totally unvetted. Mail in ballot scheme, there's no testing system to minimize mistakes or fraud. And the same time, there is nothing to give voters any confidence at all that these ballots, i.e. elections are trustworthy. For crying out loud, now, we've got states with voting loopholes big enough.

To fly a fleet of jets through. He states don't have systems to facilitate corrections, they've got systems that facilitate cheating. And it's all being done on purpose. And it's not like we didn't know this would happen. We knew it was going to happen. Trump knew it was going to happen, Trump predicted it happening when he was on this program at the greatest mega mega radio rally ever. A few weeks ago. Here's a few things that have happened, just some things that we've picked up on in the in the afternoon here as the program has been ongoing, I I've referenced many times today about the huge Hispanic bloc in South Florida that flipped for Trump that has totally shaken the Democrats.

It has it's it's it's just well destroyed the strong. It has really upset their whole notion of identity politics, the fact that Trump turned a bunch of Hispanic voters. Republican in South Florida, Miami-Dade has shaken them like you can't believe. And if the Republicans are smart, they're going to take what the Trump campaign did in South Florida and use it all across the country. They could they could remake the GOP if they could wake up and find a way to get the Hispanic vote in a hole, particularly if they could.

They've got to get it in Texas.

Do you know how close? Texas. Texas used to be Republican landslide. There was never, ever any question Texas was going to go Republican. Now we're celebrating because we won by four points.

The governor, Greg Abbott, God bless him, celebrating last night, four point win in Texas, Texas stayed red, not for long. You take a I've been pointing this out for a long time. You take a look at the county by county map in Texas and you look at the counties on the on the on the border of Texas would Meikle.

And they are purple. That is immigration, illegal immigration it. If the trend continues, it isn't going to be long, we lose Texas and if we lose Texas, we never win the presidency because we never win the Electoral College cannot Republicans cannot win the White House without Texas. And they are very close. So what happened in South Florida yesterday and in the weeks preceded what Trump did, the Trump campaign did in flipping the Hispanic vote in south Florida.

They've got to find a way. To implement that. Nationwide, wherever there are concentrated Hispanic populations, I think it did happen in parts of Texas, not just not just south Florida, I think Trump turned several dominant Hispanic counties in Texas, red certainly. And in Florida, the Hispanic vote in Miami flipped two seats Republican, including getting rid of Donna Shalala, who was in the Clinton administration. Eleven new Republican women will take seats in the House in January.

Of course, the Republicans are the party of hate women, right? Republicans hate women. Women hate Republicans. And yet 11 new Republican women taking seats in January. Not a single Republican yet has lost a House seat. Trump has changed the Republican Party, win or lose for the good. Into a middle class working class party with increasing Hispanic and black support, he has turned the Republican Party into a blue collar party. He's taking that away from the Democrats.

They have become a white collar elitist. Academic party, let me get back to the phones, Misty in Jacksonville, Florida, I'm glad you waited. Hi.

Hey, Rush. God bless you. Thank you. I just wanted to note Foxes early Arizona clip was telling to me right before it slipped. Brit Hume was reporting the markets had Trump overwhelmingly winning. You can concurrently China's currency went down, our markets went up. And that moment in time told me all I needed to know about who is best for this country.

And it was exactly I remembered. I'm glad you called because I had forgotten Brit Hume on Fox was paying attention to the betting markets. He was it was he was mesmerized. He was fascinated by the betting markets and he kept chronicling how they were changing. They were they were slowly moving away from Biden.

And at one point he reported the betting markets are now majority Trump, and that's when all the excrement began to hit the fan. Misty, when the betting markets turned on it was noted that's when the vote counting stopped or very near it.

Yep. When the betting markets and when the Chinese currency started plummeting, that that that coincided with the momentum shifting to Trump. And that's when everybody stopped projecting winners on the networks, and that's when they stopped counting votes. And that's when. Well, that's when the Democrats realized they were in trouble. Now it's out there to the betting markets, betting markets have gone all in for Biton now. Which I don't know if it's true, I didn't click the link.

I'm clicking on fewer and fewer links, I don't know about you, but I see, but I don't I just if I see something and I don't want to see it, I don't want to believe that. I don't I just don't click on it. Because I don't think it's real, I don't I think there is so little. In news today, that is legitimate. That I don't even waste time on the stuff I think is fake and more and more and more of it.

Is fake. Anyway, brief break time, got a I got to take it, we'll come back and continue right after this. Fox News has now followed in the footsteps of CNN and is projecting Biden to win Wisconsin.

Now, the Trump campaign has already said they're going to demand a recount in Wisconsin because there have been more votes cast in Wisconsin and counted than there are registered voters in Wisconsin.

So they're going to demand a recount there and I'm just you know, I've heard that Biden's going to at four o'clock that I go out there and declare victory, even though he hasn't been counted anywhere with 270 electoral votes.

And I don't I can't say that that's going to happen for certain.

Is just one of these things scuttlebutt that you that you hear out there is a powerful, influential member of the media, like me, my friends, bowling branch products.

Use my name. You'll say 50 dollars off your first set of sheets, Scott Walker, the former governor of Wisconsin, has weighed in on the recount procedures. And let me give you just some of the highlights.

Scott Walker says in Wisconsin, a candidate can request a recount if the difference in votes between the candidate and the leading candidate is not. More than one percent of the total votes cast for the office, where more than 4000 votes are cast, which, of course, has happened here. The petition has to be filed no later than the third business day or in an election for president no later than the first business day after the state election commission receives the last statement from a county board of canvassers.

So the margin between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is less than one percent. So it qualifies. Requesting a recount is a legitimate legal option for the Trump campaign.

When you consider that the margin of about 21000 votes out of the millions cast in Wisconsin. Four years ago, the presidential election results in Wisconsin went through a recount, with Trump picking up 131 votes. In 2011, there was a swing of 300 votes in a Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

So Scott Walker says that the canvas could lead to a tighter election result in Wisconsin would make the prospect of the outcome changing much more likely. Bottom line is, nobody should be declaring victory in Wisconsin until the canvass is certified by the state. The recount here is Jeff in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Great to have you with us, sir. Hello.

My wife and I are praying for your rush. Thank you, Montera for the Republicans demand recounts. Hey, some quick comments on what we have to do to kill voter fraud. There's two things that we have to demand and move forward with. People need to vote in person and people need to prove who they are. So I heard you being concerned about this early voting. I think early voting is the killer for the mail. In voting. We have to get rid of mail in and absentee voting.

We have to pick the lesser of two evils. Early voting needs to kill this fact, folks. Man, if you're conservatives, we have to give up the sleaziness of absentee voting. You have to be in person to prove who you are. And the second thing he a few months ago, you asked about some policies that Trump might have for going forward in a second term a few months ago, I almost got into through your screener. And the second thing is people need to prove who they are.

OK, so that goes towards voter I.D. But the way Trump can do that, the way Trump can do that is through national I.D. card. This is not a new idea, but the way Trump can put it through is Trump is a fixer. He fixes problems. And so what he does is he comes out and he says, we've got to solve this problem of identity theft, these stupid little Social Security cards that we have. Let's get a national I.D. card to say, hey, you're a citizen.

People who are legal residents, they can finally actually have a green card. Citizens can have a red and white striped card and they can go. What that does with that allows is he can do that from a national level as president. Is the Social Security Administration under the Department of Defense?

Let me let me step in here, because I've got less than a minute and I want to comment on this in the first place. You're never going to get rid of absentee voting. It's too legitimate and an absentee ballot. You do have to show an I.D. You have to prove who you are to get an absentee ballot. Now, there may be places where you can skirt that rule, but I mean, that is it's the law. Mail in ballot requires nothing.

You don't need to show anybody a valid I.D. or anything in the mail and mail in needs to end yesterday. Early voting. I agree with. Needs to end yesterday. Absentee voting, you're never going to get rid of it, it's legitimate, it exists for a long time for a reason. National ID, I couldn't agree more that you ought to have to be able you ought to be required to prove who you are before you vote. The Democrat Party has turned that into an issue of racism.

The Democrat Party's got African-Americans believing that that is a trick to identify African-Americans, to send them out of the country. That's what they have told African-Americans, the reason for voter ID is I got to go, I wish I had more time, but I got to take a break.

All right, folks, that is it. We are out of time for today's busy broadcast, but we'll be back here tomorrow. And ready to kick off yet another day. Have a great afternoon the rest of the day and see you tomorrow.

Thank you so much for being with us today.
