Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast. All right, let's see how many of you remember pretty much this entire busy broadcast week when the subject of judicial committee, Judiciary Committee hearings for the next Supreme Court nominee have come up. Many of you have said we need to do it, Rush. We need to have the hearings so that the Democrats do their usual predictable meltdown and everybody can see it. Everybody can see what the Democrats are doing right before the election.

We need to do it. And by extension, you are saying screw our nominee. Our nominee needs to have a spine of steel. Our nominee needs to be able to take this kind of stuff. Our nominee will be able to OK, fine and dandy. So we need to do things to let the Democrats demonstrate to everybody who they are, as though nobody knows who the Democrats are. We've forgotten that the Democrats tried to destroy Kavanaugh, that was just two years ago, not even two, it was 2008 and the rioting in lool folks, who do you think's doing that?

The Democrats demonstrate every day who they are.

One of the one of the real shocking things here is the is the reality.

Hang on. My watch is going nuts for the public shelter in place has been lifted. Turnpike and Lincoln. All right, fine.

Sorry, folks. My phones are going nuts. We got a public safety alert here on the phone. Let me deal with these things here, Larry. It's a good thing. And I am technologically competent. And don't panic when this stuff hits. All right.

So the Democrats show us every day who are there. You know what? If you want to get down and not depressing, but the fact that this party will automatically get 40 to 45 percent of the vote in any nationwide election, people know who they are.

People know what they're capable of. They are now burning down Louisville, they are doing everything they can and doing everything in Louisville that they did in Portland that they did in Seattle. And in the process, they're even taking our bag off the front page, they're taking the whole Supreme Court thing off the front page, you believe this? They are actually demonstrating. They are rioting, they are burning and they are looting. And they are attempting to kill.

They are damaging. They are wounding. They are injuring people. Everybody can see it in the process, they have taken everything that was planned for the rest of this week about Ruth Bader Ginsburg off the front page, it's not above the fold. If it hadn't been for Trump going up to the Supreme Court to pay his respects, she wouldn't be in the news today. Now, how smart is that and the Democrats obviously are not worried about it.

They're not worried about one of the reasons they're not worried about it is that the media is blaming the rioting on us. The media is trying to blame all of what's going on in Louisville on us.

Because they're saying this is justified based on what happened to Brianna Taylor. Well, what happened to Brianna Taylor is not what you think happened to Brianna Taylor. It's as big a miscarriage of media malpractice as was Ferguson and Michael Brown and any of these other George Zimmerman's story. The people of this country have been lied to from top to bottom, beginning to end about Brianna Taylor.

So, anyway, I'm not trying to be I'm not trying to be snarky. But I just want to bring it to your attention, there is one time that I will concede one time where I think the Democrats are behaving very near an election, exactly as who they are, came back and bit them. And that was the Wellstone memorial and that was in 2002. And many of you that's 18 years ago. So you may not have been old enough for some cases, even born yet, but the Wellstone memorial was a memorial service for a beloved Democrat senator from Minnesota, Paul Wellstone, who perished in a plane crash.

So they did the Wellstone memorial. And it was very close to the 2002 midterms, this is the first midterm election after George W. Bush had been elected and is in all midterm elections, the party in power, i.e., the Republicans lose significant numbers of seats in the first midterms.

It's just the way it's always happened. You elect a president, new president, and two years later, people are fed up with some things that he's done, so they take it out on him by voting for the other party in the midterms. Well, the Democrats had a meltdown at the Wellstone memorial. They then Cookie, I don't mean any sound bites from it, I've got more sound bites that I can use today. They literally had a meltdown.

In the way they handled that whole thing, they were they forced Republican senators, New Helstone, they showed up, Trent Lott, a bunch of them pay their respects. They were hounded and harassed out of the arena. The Republicans had to leave for their own safety. It was absolutely incredible the Republican colleagues of Wilston had to leave, they turned this thing in. I mean, Tom Harkin from Iowa turned the death of Paul Wellstone into the cheapest rankest most disrespectful attempt to advance the liberal agenda that I've ever seen.

And they lost seats. The quick version of the story is a 2002 midterms, Republicans gained seats. And it stunned everybody.

It never happens, and so that's that's one instance where only one where I will acknowledge that the Democrats behavior, in other words, taken the masks off and telling everybody who they were so close to an election actually came back. And them I don't in this case, you would hope this would be the case, but the Democrats actually think that if they put on a good showing and destroy the president's nominee, that it will increase enthusiasm on their side. They really believe that if they do an all out better than ever or worse, an ever hit job on whoever the nominee is, they think that they're going to spark enthusiasm and turnout on their side.

That's what they think their base wants.

If this if our nominee is literally bloodied and can barely walk out of that hearing room, the Democrats think that that's going to be a home run. Whereas many of you think that's all it's going to take, Rush, American people find out who the Democrats are, how can the American people not know who they are? I know you're going to shout at me media. The media is not telling the truth, folks. Maybe, but the Democrats are flooding the zone.

The Democrats are everywhere. Doing what? And they've been doing it for months. You think the American people really think Republicans are rioting and burning down Portland? The American people really believe Republicans are causing all these problems in Minneapolis and all these Democrat cities and states like New York.

Chicago and Illinois. And as I say, the Democrats are still going to get automatic Plug's has a D next to his name, that's automatically going to be. 40 to 45 percent of the vote, no matter what they do. So I'm going to have more on this as the as the program unfolds today, because I've been doing a lot of thinking about and I've had to you know, I've had to make sure that I don't substitute what I wish and what I think should be happening, i.e., I think the American people by now ought to have no question, no doubt whatsoever who the Democrats are, what the Democrat Party is.

But that's probably unrealistic, probably wishful thinking on my part, probably not taking into account how the media has lied through her teeth and has done a great job of covering up for the Democrats and hiding who they are, even when the Democrats are doing their level best to show everybody who they are anyway.

President Trump yesterday at a press briefing in the White House press room, and he lit it up again. Before I tell you how, let's go back, grab audio, sound bite number 14, this is from 2016 debate night in Las Vegas. Donald Trump and Hillary Rodham Clinton, a third and final presidential debate and during a segment. In which Trump claimed that the election was rigged against him. Chris Wallace moderating the debate, said, Mr. Trump, do you make the same commitment that you will absolutely accept the result of the election?

I will look at it at the time. What I've seen, what I've seen is so bad. First of all, the media is so dishonest and so corrupt. And the pile on is so amazing that The New York Times actually wrote an article about it that they don't even care. It's so dishonest and they've poisoned the minds of the voters. But unfortunately for them, I think the voters are seeing through it. I think they're going to see through it.

We'll find out on November 8th. But I think they're going to see a concert.

Are you saying you're not prepared now? The point is that I will tell you at the time, I'll keep you in suspense.

So after that answer, do you remember the media went nuts. I could barely keep their underwear on. They were. So he just said he just said that he won't accept the results. When did you hear that? He just said that Hillary went nuts. She said he's an open threat to our democracy is an open threat. He just said he just said he wouldn't accept the results. He's like, now look at what happened. Who is it that didn't accept the results of the election?

It's Hillary and the Democrats. They still haven't. You know, it was Trump lit them up and he was only being censored because here's what Trump knew. If he had said, of course, I'll accept the results. You know what the headlines that night and the next day would have been? Trump concedes election. The media would have taken that as an opportunity to run. Trump expects to lose. Trump acknowledges long shot win chances trump this trump that Trump acknowledges that he won't concede defeat, but that's what they wanted.

That's why the question was asked. And Trump knew it and he wasn't going to give them. That said, how can I tell you that I don't know what the circumstances are going to be? It was right on the money answer. Well, the same thing happened yesterday in the White House briefing room.

Playboy, Playboy magazine, senior White House, a man was this guy rude, this guy was snarky. Name is Brian Carome, and he said win, lose or draw in this election, will you commit here today? For transferral of power after the election, there's been rioting in Lall, there's been rioting in many cities across the country, the so-called red and blue states. Will you commit to making sure there's a peaceful transfer of power after the election?

We're going to have to see what happens. You know that I've been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster. Get rid of the ballots and you'll have a very peaceful there won't be a transfer, frankly. There'll be a continuation. The ballots are out of control. You know it. And you know who knows it better than anybody else. The Democrats know it better than anybody else. Did it again.

He didn't commit to a peaceful transference of power because he didn't commit to possibly losing. He's not going to give them what they want and that they're repeating everything. The purpose of this question, will you commit to a peaceful transfer of power if Trump had said, well, of course, absolutely. The headlines would Trump acknowledging polling data it expects to lose and says, no sweat, he'll leave when the time comes.

They wanted that story. They wanted that headline. Trump knows what he's up against and he knows who he is up against here. And he's not going to give them.

What they want. He's already made it clear that he doesn't expect to lose. I mean, this question is absolutely insulting. I don't expect to lose. And he actually said that in his own words. He said there isn't going to be a transfer of power, is going to be a continuation of power. So they're all atwitter now. They're all beside them, so they can't. But meanwhile, Plug's has put a lid on his campaign again today.

Nine thirty this morning. They put a lid on it.

I I think they're up to like 40 percent of this month. Biden has had a lid on his.

Well, nobody can figure out why other than my suggestion seems to have been adopted by the conventional wisdom crowd, that is, that they really, really, really prepping him for the debate, really just going all in on debate prep and I.

I have my I have my doubts, I think I think these people are of the mind, they're believing they're polling data and they're thinking there's no way that we're going to lose this thing unless we do something to screw up. And so we're going to keep the guy in the basement so that we can't screw up. So he can't blow it and we're going to do what we can to make sure he gets at least one debate, you know what's going to happen, not you.

You know what's going to happen? No, well, yeah, he'll screw it up sometime between now. And the debate, two scenarios sometime between now and the debate, they're going to announce that somebody near Biden has tested positive for covid-19 and he has to quarantine.

Can't go to the debate, can't do the debate, somebody on the staff, somebody nearby, maybe it wasn't on the staff, but it's somebody that they won't have to produce has tested positive and poor Plug's poor plug's was in close contact. And as such, for the safety of America and for the safety of the campaign. Vice President Biden must quarantine for the next 10 to 14 days. And that's how they reneged or the second scenarios.

They go ahead and do the debate and they're hoping and praying or folks hoping and praying that he can do one just get one debate in there, not screw it up. And then after that debate, then say, oh, somebody close by has contracted covid-19. The vice president was in close proximity. He needs to quarantine, thereby eliminating any other debates.

What do you think of that, Mr. Inertly, you haven't you haven't you hadn't thought of that, had you? Yeah, you wait, you wait.

Something like that's going to take a brief break, my friends, as we're off and running yet again. Don't go.

Yeah, I just I get the biggest kick out of it when Trump does this refuses to commit to a peaceful transition of power. He didn't do that. He did not not commit to a peaceful transition of power. The media are claiming that he refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power. This time, they didn't wait for the debates to ask the question. I wonder if Chris Wallace is ticked off.

I wonder if he had that question ready to go to the Playboy reporter decides to ask the question yesterday, Trump said, like he always says, we'll have to wait to see what happens. You know that I've been complaining about the ballots, the mail in ballots.

They're a disaster. That's what he said in 2016. He said he went on to suggest if it weren't for mail in ballots and voter fraud, there wouldn't be any transition because he's going to win easily.

Grab a sound bite, number 13, while video of Democrat riots in Louisville fills the screen, David Axelrod, Obama's guy, says that Trump's comments give license to his voters to take to the streets with he's going to do better on election night than he ultimately will because sixty two percent of his voters say they're going to vote on Election Day.

Their votes will be counted on Election Day. But the write in votes, many of them will be counted after Election Day. And he will claim when those votes come in that he had won in the votes were taken from him. I think he's setting up that scenario and it's very dangerous because he is sending a signal to people that they can take to the streets with guns if they don't like the outcome of this election. It is really a horrifying thing.

Yeah, what's really a horrifying thing is for you, Mr. Axelrod, to throw out this allegation when it's not there's not a single Republican that's not out in the street with guns. The Democrats are in the streets, it's the Democrats that are starting fires, the Democrats who are looting private property, it's the Democrats that are manipulating, bullying and threatening people. He was on CNN last night with Anderson Cooper saying this. The question he got was, what do you expect to happen now after election night?

You see any way to avoid some sort of conflict?

And so Axelrod is sending a secret signal to his voters to take the streets with guns in its camps.

That is beyond the pale, irresponsible.

Now, look at this, folks. Police in Greenville, Wisconsin, found three trays of mail in a ditch. And the three trays of mail included absentee ballots police, Greenville, Wisconsin, found three trays of mail, including absentee ballots in a ditch. The Allegheny County Sheriff's Office discovered the treys in a ditch on Tuesday morning as near Appleton International Airport, been there many times. This according to W.L. UK, the mail was returned to the U.S. Postal.

What why would these people be looking in ditches? Yeah, you see the story and I found three trays of mail in a ditch and nobody asks, what were they doing in a ditch? When's the last time you saw some cops and a ditch? Somebody had to direct them to the ditch? I mean, somebody had to tell them something was seen in the ditch. These are the questions that I ask. I ask these questions routinely. A lot of people, a lot of people don't.

The Brianna Taylor story, just to close the loop here, the buddies at Conservative Tree House do an incredible job.

They do just some incredible work and. Once again, the Briona Taylor story is, if you wonder why I call the media the drive by media, the Brianna Taylor story is a 100 percent perfect. Illustration in the media blow into a volatile situation, they show up and then they blow it up, lying about it, misrepresenting it, mis reporting it, they create chaos and havoc because of the outand out lies that they tell about the like, hands up, don't shoot in Ferguson.

Lying about Michael Brown to the point people were questioning the grand jury, two of them. And then after a while, they move on. Heading on down the road to the next story that they're going to do the exact same thing to practice journalistic malpractice, they leave murder and mayhem, chaos and confusion in their wake. Same thing with the Trayvon Martin case. Same thing Michael Brown case in Ferguson, the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore. Everything pushed by the media about the Brianna Taylor case was based on lies.

Now, the media will refuse to admit the truth, they're going to spin the narrative to claim they never reported incorrectly.

Now, the blame it on something else, the sources got things wrong or however they choose to do it. But the truth is, everything the media claimed about Brianna Taylor's death was a lie. They claim that she was shot during a no knock warrant, false? Not true. There was not a no knock warrant. The media claimed that Brianna Taylor was shot in her bed. That's not true. The media claim Brianna Taylor was murdered. That's not true.

It was an accident. Virtually everything the media and the lawyer, Ben Crump, have claimed about the death of Brianna Taylor. And the circumstances around her death was based on lies. Officials in Kentucky allowed a mountain of lies to grow until the evidence was finally presented to a grand jury and the Kentucky attorney general was forced to admit the truth. According to evidence revealed at a press conference by the attorney general, Daniel Cameron, the police executed a search warrant by knocking on the door.

Brianna Taylor and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, refused to answer the door after the police identified themselves. The police then broke down the door. Kenneth Walker was armed, he shot first at the police. The police returned fire and that's how Brianna Taylor was shot and killed.

No police officers thus were charged with the death of Briona Tamir because they were responding to being fired upon.

It appears that Kenneth Walker guy used Brianna Taylor as a shield, one officer, Brett Hankerson, whose name you've now heard over and over again, who did not shoot any person, was charged with wanton endangerment for haphazardly firing 10 shots that entered the adjacent apartment unit.

Brianna Taylor's killing set off months of protests in Lahore and other cities and drew national attention. So Labadie civil rights activists demanding justice, urged the Kentucky Attorney General Cameron to bring charges against the cops. Last week, city of Louisville said that it would pay 12 million dollars to Miss Taylor's estate as part of a legal settlement with her family.

The agreement also required the city to implement policy changes, including a mandate. Four police commanders to approve all search warrants today. The shooting was ruled justified this yesterday as the police were responding to being fired upon by Mr. Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker.

So as with the Trayvon Martin case, as with the Michael Brown case, as with the Freddie Gray case. Everything pushed by the media about the Brianna Taylor case was based on lies. So the country is roiled, the Democrat Party and its agents are now creating mayhem. Let there be no mistake, the people. Making violence. The people creating the violence, the people engaged in all of these so-called peaceful protests are Democrats.

They are people who will vote Democrat. They are people who are Democrat, there's not a single Republican among them. Now, you might find that the head of the line, some white college aged women who are purposely stationed there to make it look like it's a peaceful protest and that it's white people and feeling guilty about this and demanding that the president in the Republican Party apologize and all this, the Republican Party and President Trump have literally nothing to do with this.

They have nothing to do with the rioting. They have nothing to do with looting, whatever is going on in Louisville. This is strictly a Democrat Party operation and I for one.

I find it fascinating that these Democrats in law have now taken Ruth Bader Ginsburg off the front pages, she is gone from above the fold in newspapers.

They have sabotaged their own efforts to undermine Trump's Skoda's choice Supreme Court pick. Because everybody's now focused on what the Democrats are doing in law. If they try and remove TV coverage of the rioting, Black Lives Matter will have a fit. Meanwhile, Ruth Bader Ginsburg lies in state at the top of the steps of the Supreme Court. And had President Trump not gone up there today. Nobody would know. Grab audio, sound bite number one and one, and the president and the first lady did show up.

The top steps of the Supreme Court and they were greeted. With a bunch of chanting, rude to insufferable protesters. My. Honor her wish. What are they talking about, honor her wish. We'll get to that in just a moment. They were also booing and chanting, vote him out.

Listen to this. And this is it for these people. All right. Right, right, these people, I mean, they can't even do they can't have a wake, they cannot have a funeral, they can't have a memorial without acting out, without politicizing virtually everything. And people on our side, we need to make sure that the Democrats show people that they really are. They do every day. Don't you think the American people ought to know by now who the Democrats are?

Don't you think by now the Democrats ought to barely be struggling to get 30 percent of the vote based on who they are? But, no, they're guaranteed to get 40 or 45 just because there's a D next to some Democrats name on any ballot.

No, no, no, I'll get I'll honor her wish, this is why there's a story from Ruth Bader Ginsburg, his daughter, about why she hung in there. And it has to do with Mrs. Clinton, it has to do with the fact that she wanted to wait, she wanted to have Hillary announce her replacement, she wanted to give Hillary Rodham. She wanted a woman first. Woman President Ruth Bader Ginsburg supposedly wanted the first woman president to name her replacement.

So Justice Ginsburg hung in there and hung in there and hung in there. And we know how it turned out.

Hillary was not elected. Democrats have refused to engage in a peaceful transfer of power since 2016. And these spoiled brat kid protesters who don't even know what they're talking about are running around to honor her wish to her. It's not her seat, you people.

It is not Justice Ginsburg seat. Justice Ginsburg doesn't get to determine who her replacement is. She doesn't get to determine who named the replacement. She could have resigned. She could have retired when Obama was president and spared everybody all this. But no, the daughter says she wanted to make sure that the first woman president.

Got to name her replacement. Let's take a brief break. We'll be back. We'll continue to watch. Still ahead, folks, don't go anywhere.

Well, I got some people pushing back and everybody knows more than I do. I announce a theory that Plugs might find his way out of the debates by claiming that somebody nearby has contracted covid-19 plugs, came within close proximity and must now quarantine because of his frailties, his age, whatever may give us the reason for it and thereby renege and get out of doing the debate or having to do it as a no show. And then so I got people.

No rush.

No, no, no. They have spent so much time talking about the steps that Biden goes to to protect himself, like putting a lid on a campaign every morning at eight thirty or nine there stories all over the place rush about the steps the campaign is taking to make sure that Plug's does not get caught. But they can't now come around and say somebody close by has acquired it and he may. And so we got to quarantine.

So you think that would stop them? If somebody figures, plugs, can't do this. They probably already got that figured out, I guarantee folks I'm going to go out on a limb, I still I'm going to tell what is a date to this is the.

This is the 25. You can help me with nothing, I don't know what's the date today? Can somebody tell me what the date is? OK, it's OK, it's September 24th, so and the debate is Tuesday. I still don't think that debate's going to happen, that's I'll go out on a limb and I'll put it on the record right now, that debate's not going to happen. Look, why change now, that's been my assertion, that's been my prediction has been my belief for months.

And I'm not going to change it now, I'm not afraid of being wrong, if that's what eventuates. Look at this. Here's Axios with a one of the date used to show up on something right in front of me. But it's blank.

There's nothing on it now. So and I looked at the watch and the watch face I currently have does not have the date as a complication on it, so.

Anyway. Axios has a story Democrats pivot to promoting in-person voting, the China flu is over, we can all vote in person on Election Day. What is this? Democrats spent the early months of the pandemic urging their base to vote absentee.

But as threats of postal service delays, Team Trump litigation and higher ballot rejection rates became clearer.

Many are pivoting. Many Democrats are pivoting to promote more in-person voting as well. And Axios says, why it matters? Well, the Democrats are exponentially more likely to vote by mail than Republicans this year, and if enough mail in ballots are lost.

Rejected on a technicality or undercounted, it could change the outcome. Oh, do you believe this? They're now urging people to vote in person, to not vote by mail, to not use paper ballots like this. Says what's driving the news is in Colorado, the former governor, John Hickenlooper, who's running against Senator Cory Gardner, told Axios that he's encouraging voters to physically take their mail in ballots to a drop box and to do so really, really early.

So. The pandemic is over, it's safe to vote in person now on Election Day. And the Democrats are pivoting, I'm not making this up. Why? All of a sudden. Is actually, by the way, Fox is a millennial, targeted, mainstream, deep state, I mean, it's in the Washington establishment of approved journalistic enterprises. Democrats are more likely to vote by mail than Republicans, and if enough mail in ballots are logged or some like Trump, the Democrats all of a sudden are saying, you know, this mail and stuff, there's too many things that can go wrong.

The ballots could get lost like the one we found in the ditch in Wisconsin. The mail in ballots could be rejected on a technicality, might be undercounted, could change the outcome of the election. Got to vote in person. I think there's something else driving this myself, my friends. And I think, as is always the case, it's me. And I'll explain. When I feel like it, I'm out of time right now. Now, who is the guy that's been urging all of you to not mess with this Maylin stuff?

Just show up and vote covid-19 notwist this show up and vote. Flood the zone, flood your polling place with yourself. Just show up. That's what leads to landslide wins. That's what creates news about gigantic turnout, which scares everybody. And that's also my friend. It confounds exit pollers and everything. A just show up.

Now, all of a sudden, here comes a Democrat media suggesting the Democrats do the same thing. And greetings, great to have you with us, my friends, at award winning, thrill packed, ever exciting, growing by leaps and bounds, Rush Limbaugh program, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.

Great to have you here, as always, the phone number, if you want to be on the program, 800 to eight two two eight eight two, the email address, Rumbo EIB net that USA. Looky here, folks. Have a story here. My formerly nicotine stained fingers.

It's a Bismack review, dotcom. The headline, Ginsburg's law clerks line up to mourn and everyone stays quiet. About the jarring lack of color. What could this mean? Let's read further and find out together, shall we? And the deputy governor of Illinois called attention to the elephant in the room as the memorial service for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg got underway.

Christian Mitchell, the Democrat serving under Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, noted the jarring lack of people of color.

Among her clerks. In comments on social media.

The quirk's had gathered to honor our B.G., who passed away last week at the age of 87, RBD former clerks served as honorary pallbearers and they formed a dramatic backdrop.

On the front steps of the Supreme Court as her casket arrived on Wednesday after a private ceremony, members of the public are allowed to pay their respects as the late justice lies in repose at the Supreme Court.

As her casket arrived and Army, an army of law clerks, were present dressed in black and standing by silently. This according to CBS News. Over her 27 years on the Supreme Court, our B.G.. Have reportedly hired more than 100 clerks, many came out to honor her on Wednesday. And it was apparently so striking the lack of people of color among this group of clerks that nobody said anything about it and thus it became the elephant in the room.

How does this happen? How does one of the greatest by reputation with the greatest Supreme Court justices in the history of the known universe, how does it have an avowed, proud, acknowledged leader in all things progressive, liberal? How does it happen that among, you know, who are the clerks are the clerks? Let's see what would be an appropriate term, the most appropriate term would not be usable, the quirk's.

Ah, they do a lot of the work, they do a lot of the research, they do a lot of the first and second draft writing in conjunction with the Justice.

Now, she had over a hundred and fifty of them, not at once, but over the course. That's a hell of a lot of clerks. That's a hell of a lot of. People. But how does it happen that so few of them. Were people of color. How does how does it happen? Is it an oversight, is it? Damn, never got around to it, I didn't notice. Is that the excuse? How can that be, how can it be?

I didn't notice sorry that there aren't very many people of color among my Quark's.

I don't know, it sounds to me like systematic, systemic, sounds like systemic, whatever here, I mean, if very few if it's so noticeable that it's the elephant in the room, then it's systemic.

Wouldn't it be? I'm stunned. I've had people say they saw the entire. Chondrite of Quark's, and they didn't see one person of color. It's not that there were very few if somebody says they didn't even see one. She should have sued herself, you know, if somebody had worked with the ACLU. She should have sued herself for discrimination. But I don't think that she I don't think she did well, I don't know. I can't I can't answer the question.

All I could do is, is ask it.

And I'm probably in big deep doo doo just by doing that. But remember, it was Bismack review, not me. Oh, you know, something else going on. Have you heard this? The Democrats in the media and a bunch of Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are really worried.

Have you heard this, Don, really worried that Dianne Feinstein is too old? To lead the effort to destroy Trump's judicial pick. She's too old, she's too out of it, she's lost it, she's lost the fire, she's lost the brimstone, they asked her about it. Are you too old to do this? She said, I don't think so.

I know I'm raring and ready to go here.

You believe this their nominee is a mommy, their presidential nominee is a mommy that they have to hide. Starting at nine thirty every morning. And they're worried about Dianne Feinstein being too old to run the destroy mission against Trump's judicial pick. You know who would be next in line? If they somehow edge her out, it would be Pat Leakey, Leahy, that's the nickname we gave him because also, Senator, depends. Because this guy used to leak government secrets like you can't believe, except he cannot he cannot become.

The ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, because he's already got that position on another committee, so then it would go to Dick Durbin said he went to Dick Durbin and they said, hey, do you think Senator Feinstein is too old for this? You think you should move in? And he very wisely said, I haven't heard anything about this. I have no idea what you're talking about. I think Senator Feinstein, whatever she wants to try not get to go there.

But I just find it ironic and funny that they're worried at Feinstein is too old to lead the effort.

To destroy whoever it is, Amy CONI Barrett, Barbara Lagoa. Go to the audio sound bites, Benjamin Crump. Is the lawyer for the family, Brianna Taylor. He was on The View today on ABC News and he got a question, I guess, from Sunny Hostin. Well, I'm not sure who asked the court. Doesn't matter. Question is not was Sarah Hanson-Young said one of the officers was indicted on three counts of wanton endangerment of the neighbors, but not of Brianna Taylor.

Now, how does that legally break down or even make sense? So here's here's here's Benjamin Crump, the lawyer.

And then you'll hear some other gals from from the just because they tell us it's legal, that doesn't mean it's right. Whippy everything to happen to the Jews in Germany. They say it was legal, but that doesn't make it right, John. Slavery was legal, but that didn't make it right. When they kill Emmett Till, they said that was legal, but that didn't make it right. Well, I'm not trying to say it was legal what they did to Brianna Taylor.

Right. Ladies, that does not make it right.

So the lawyer here for Brianna Taylor's family just compared the cops in law to Nazis.

This is where we are now. The lawyer for the Briona Taylor family is comparing the cops in law to Nazis and still the American people don't know who the Democrats are. I got a couple emails during Rush, why do you keep harping on this? Why are you let me tell you why. Because I don't think there ought to be five minutes of hearings into Trump's nominee. They don't have to be and there shouldn't be. Why should we give the Democrats and everybody knows this is the amazing thing.

Even Senator Graham, he knows what's going to happen and he's openly saying we need to be fair and give them a chance to register their opposition to tell you what's going on. Everybody thinks the Democrats are going to blow it up. They're going to self immolate, they're going to start themselves on fire, that they're going to just blow it. And folks, on the basis that the American people are going to see who the Democrats really are. How do they not already know why we know what they're going to do, they know what they're going to do, they're openly bragging about how they're going to do it, and we are knowingly going to send a perfectly fine, great woman into this.

She can handle it, Rush, she's a tough cookie, she's been through this, she's been vetted before, folks.

I don't you think Cavanaugh enjoyed it? You think Cavanaugh, you know, he was prepared to grant them to you? You think these people enjoy this? Do you think that this ought to be I'll guarantee that Sonia Sotomayor doesn't know what this is like and Elena Kagan doesn't know what this is like, no other Democrat nominee knows what this is like because they're never put through it. And they're always confirm ninety six to three, ninety eight to whatever it is.

Republicans always show deference. OK, Democrats won, they get the who they want, we'll go through the hearings. We'll try to keep our base satisfied with some tough questions. But the Republicans don't try to destroy anybody's life, their career, their resume.

Everybody here knows what's going to happen and they still say bring it on, let it happen.

And it must be folks because. The Republicans on the committee and the Republicans here are there think. That it's going to be really beneficial if the Democrats blow up, if the Democrats lose it, if they savagely mistreat whoever the nominee is, the American people are not going to be tolerant of it. The American people aren't going to put up with it. The American people are going to see it. And it's going to really hurt the Democrat. You mean they've forgotten what Kavanaugh went through?

They've forgotten who did that to Kavanaugh. They've forgotten what Dianne Feinstein did. Ballsy Ford and all the rest of them.

So I don't think there should be a day of hearings, I don't think the Democrats have done anything to deserve it. In fact, after what they did to Kavanaugh, they have no right whatsoever. And when everybody knows what they're going to do.

So that's that's why I've got this bug that I'm not letting go of this. The idea that we've got to continually. Subject people on our team to search and destroy missions like this just so we can illustrate. To the American people who the Democrats really are, let's see, there's one soundbite that I want hear somebody I'm looking for Chris Coons and me find the. Order, wherever he is, this number, what? Ten, let me find them.

Ten to two. Number two, yeah, number two. Here we go. This was this morning on NPR Morning Edition. The host is Steve Inskeep, he's talking to Delaware Senator Chris Coons about this open Supreme Court seat.

Rush Limbaugh, conservative radio host, has been suggesting to the Republicans they should move this so quickly they don't even bother with a hearing, which would be before your committee. I'd like to know what the rules are. Senator Coons, is there any rule, any law, any requirement that there must be a hearing for whoever the president nominates?

The Constitution provides that the Senate shall give advice and consent, but there is nothing in the Constitution that gives the contours of exactly what that means.

An answer to the question? No, there's no requirement that there be Judiciary Committee hearings. There is tradition. There is tradition, but there is no constitutional or any other legal requirement, here is the chairman of the committee.

Senator Graham was on Fox and Friends this morning. Ainsley Arehart said. Can you tell us more about the timeline for the hearings and the vote on the president's nominee?

We're going to make sure that the Democrats get a chance to challenge the nominee, not abuse the nominee. I want it to be meaningful. I want it to be challenging. But we're not going to let it become destructive as it was in Cavanough. How are you going to. My goal is to get the nominee through the committee process with a meaningful hearing, a probing hearing, get it to the floor in time for Mitch McConnell to process the nomination, get a final vote before the election.

We are going to make sure the Democrats get a chance to challenge the nominee. Not abused. No, they don't. They don't know anything but abuse. In fact, they're bragging about it. They are telegraphing it, they are promising it to their base. They know, folks, this if this nominee goes through, if it's Amy, me, Tony Barrett or even Barbara Laga, if it goes through, then there is a minimum guaranteed five, four conservative majority.

And depending on Roberts and how he falls on issue, it could be six, three now and then. This is that's ball game for Democrats, and if it's Barrett, it could be the first step in getting rid of Roe versus Wade, overturning that they're not going to sit there and be polite.

They're not I don't know. I just. We're going to give him a chance, chance to challenge a nominee, but not abused. No, I want it to be meaningful. So Senator Graham obviously does not want to be the guy that appears to be unfair and partisan by saying they aren't going to be any hearings.

I understand that. I got I got to take a break. Be back, OK? We got to get started on the phones again. I really appreciate all of your patience out there. This is Ruby in in Bryant, South Dakota. Great to have you on the program. Hello.

Hello, Rush. And first of all, prayers for you and Katherine. But, you know, I agree with you that I think Biden's going to try to get out of this debate and maybe stay home or hidden wherever he's at. But I think Trump should be prepared to go where Biden is and have the debate there and they can both be tested and keep their social distance and the reporters can or the questionnaires can be zoomed in.

So what do you think? I'm right that Biden will try to skip out on the debate? Oh, absolutely.

I've kind of thought that all along as well. So then you think that Trump ought to just not let him get away with that? Trump needs to go wherever Biden is and try to get as close as he can with cameras following him around so the debate can happen. A Trump can show that he wants this debate to happen, that he's not running away from it himself.

Yes, absolutely. And he can also make sure that Biden is not using a teleprompter. Amster. Well. Wait a minute. If Biden if Biden doesn't show up for the debate, how how would there be teleprompter answers?

Well, I'm saying if Biden is in his basement and he thinks that that well, I guess it would be a moot point.

But if if Trump is where Biden is for the debate, that's not going to look if OK, let's say Biden's in his basement, they're not going to let Trump in there.

You don't think so? No.

No. Biden would run to the bathroom if Trump shows up at his house.

Well, I thought maybe Trump was tested. If Biden if Biden is trying to skip out on the debate, why would he say, oh, President Trump, you came to my help? Fine. Let's have a debate in my basement. How I don't understand. The Biden doesn't. Just because Trump shows up, Biden would agree to do the debate.

Well, then what excuse would Biden have to get out of the debate if if Trump is demanding to have the debate like plan?

I've already said that he has to quarantine because somebody close to the campaign has tested positive and plug's in order to be safe, has to quarantine. He's in the very I mean, he's right in the middle of the most vulnerable demographic group for covid-19. He's elderly. He's got some pre-existing conditions. And if somebody close to the campaign has tested positive and has covid-19 and he came in contact with them, he's got to quarantine.

Trump's not nobody's going to get closer. That's that's he's not just going to say, screw it, I'm not doing the debate. They've got to have a reason I offered. That is the reason.

There's no way.

But anyway, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, your guiding light through times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, lies, misunderstandings, inconceivable ones. And, yes, even the even the good times are trying again here. Tie in Atlanta. You're next on the EIB Network.

Hello. Mr. Rush, I appreciate you taking my call. Yes, sir. Great to have you here with us. Hey, Rush, I listen to you every day a very, very informative and most entertaining, but what really got me today was when you stated that the Rihanna Taylor killing was just a mistake. I don't I don't see how that can be voiced without any lack of compassion, concern or anything for the young lady that lost her life.

Well, it was an accident, not a mistake. It was an accident. These cops show up and the first thing that happens is they get fired on. And so they returned fire and she ends up being hit.

In the in the return, fire agreed, agreed, agreed. Now, me being a Second Amendment advocate, just like I'm sure you are, I'm a father of two daughters and a husband. If someone were to come into my home at three o'clock in the morning, the first thing I'm going to do is to try to protect my family. Now, here's where the problem lies. The more that they they issued the warrant that was passed. Wait a minute.

To two months. Yeah.

If it's if it's the cops that show up, the first thing you're going to do is shoot. Well, it's three o'clock in the morning when you're half of half asleep. How would you know they're the cops and someone in your home and your home? Well, like a typical person, I'm sure your home is dark. I don't know.

But I also I can't I can't imagine. The first thing I do is fire before anything else has happened. Until somebody shows, hi, we're from the police. We got a warrant here, blah, blah, blah. Oh, no, you're being fired. And then the cops fire back. I mean, I don't know that that's the first thing I would do is fire on whoever's on the other side of the door. Well, Mr. Rush, not on the other side of the door, in the door.

But here's the thing. The reason why police execute those type of warrants at that time of day is to catch off guard. They're not announcing like, hey, come talk to us. We're the police know they're coming in, guns drawn. And the first thing that you do while your watching your eyes is see someone in all black in a black house with guns pointed at you. And you and your your wife, your missus, your children. That's really scary.

Now, the problem is that that wasn't the person they issued that warrant for. They already had in custody. So worst case scenario, that is incompetence, the the the the police. Here's the problem here. The police, not they announced themselves. They are then fired on. Everything that happened makes perfect common sense. Whether whether whether you've got a no knock warrant or you're going to argue about that. I mean, it may have been a no knock war, but they didn't have a chance.

They show up and announce themselves. And even if they had the no knock warrant, they didn't they didn't break through the door. They announced themselves. They got shot. They were fired upon after that happened. And I don't know that I would the first thing would happen if under any circumstances, if my first.

Action would be to fire through the door at somebody who claimed they were the cops. In my case, I would have ways of knowing who's on the other side of the door, I don't I don't know about this particular place. That's why, you know, trying to put other people in these circumstances is a is a tough thing. But I think the truth of this tie is that the American people have been lied to through their teeth about this story, like they were lied to about Michael Brown in Ferguson, lied to about Freddie Gray in Baltimore, lied to about Trayvon Martin.

It is like they've been lied to about Donald Trump supposedly saying that the neo-Nazi skinheads in Charlotte's Charlottesville were good people. So much garbage has been thrown at the American people that they end up believing it here. I'll give you another example, Brian. That picture I sent you for the dead, OK, this is this FOX. This is going to be a fabulous example. And if you're watching on the little cam and you'll see it if you don't if you're not a member, you're not watching the program on the little cam.

We'll put this on the website at Rush Limbaugh Dotcom. Throw that photo up there. This is an ad this is an ad that the Democrats are running. This ad, I know it's it's it's being run in North Carolina, I don't know where else it's being run. Let me read this to you. For those who don't have a digital cam, it's a it's a World War One military picture with a bunch of troops standing behind a leader who is saluting June 18, our June, 1918.

Eighteen hundred American servicemen gave their lives for the free world so fierce where the American Marines that their German foes call them devil dogs.

November 2018, Democrat or Donald Trump, I'm sorry, mocked their graves and called them losers and suckers. His words, our heroes, your choice. Now, all of this. Donald Trump did not say that people. Buried in American military, Seminara cemeteries are losers and suckers. This is a story that ran in a discredited magazine called The Atlantic and the guy that wrote the story has yet to produce the sources. There are four of them. They remain anonymous.

They will not come forth and confirm. The writer of the story, who's also the editor of The Atlantic, has acknowledged that they could be wrong. There is no truth to this.

No truth to this whatsoever, it's more than hearsay, it's lies, there's no proof that Trump said it. There are no recordings of him saying it. There is there were 19 people that were with Trump when this was supposedly said, including John Bolton. And no one can remember Trump saying it. This is and you know, who's who's had this is this is the Lincoln Project, you know who that is? Republican never trumpeter's. This is the Bill Kristol gang, Republican, never Trump are running an ad, this is not a Democrat National Committee and it's not a Democrat Party.

And this ad is being run, paid for by the Lincoln Project, not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

Let me read this to you. Yes, I botched it the first time, June 1989, 1800 American servicemen gave their lives for the free world. So fierce where the American Marines that their German opponents called them Devil Dogs November 2018. Donald Trump mocked their graves and called them losers and suckers. His words are heroes. Your choice. This is Kellyanne Conway, whose husband works for this outfit, although I think he's taken a leave. But the Lincoln Project.

Now, how many people are going to see this and believe it, how many people are going to see this and even bother to fact check it? They're not they're going to see this and they think it's true. They're not going to know the history of the Atlantic magazine. They're not going to know that it's a biased publication that you're going to hear about it. The Atlantic and the source of this story not even mentioned in this ad. So this is just as bad as the lie is that the media told about Michael Brown in Ferguson, it's as bad about the lies they told about their Brianna Taylor story.

It is as bad as the lies they told about Freddie Gray in Baltimore, Trayvon Martin, and who the hell knows how many others?

Pure hearsay, no proof, no confirmation, no recordings, nothing, it's just a bunch of fired employees, these never trumpeter's who have no access and no influence anymore with an axe to grind and their noses are out of joint because they have been exposed as irrelevant to conservatism.

But how many people are going to see this drivel? And believe it. Well, how many people still think that Donald Trump said? That there are lots of good people among the neo-Nazi skinheads in Charlottesville. So many people still believe that that it's rendered some of them psychologically insane. It is the epitome of Airbus models. So, no, I'm not I'm not going to sit here and. Acknowledge that what happened with Brown Taylor, it's been a pack of lies.

The reporting on the story, like the drive bys are famous for you, take this ad and then transfer it to something else like like the upcoming hearings on Trump's Supreme Court nominee. We're going to get nothing but a pack of lies. We're going to get some of the most outrageous allegations about whoever this woman nominee is. You see Justice Thomas, Justice Cavanough. Robert Bork, for the rest of his life, these people were all tainted. By the false lying, stinking allegations the Democrats leveled at them.

Clarence Thomas is always going to be thought of, as did he really do what he did, he did. He really put their pubic hair on a Coke can sexually harass Anita Hill, Capitol Hill, really run a rape train in high school. Meanwhile, Elena Kagan. Sonia Sotomayor, two Democrat justices in the Supreme Court, are never going to be tainted because they were never put through this kind of wringer. I for one, I am sick and tired of it, I'm sick and tired of the left being allowed to define conservatives this way, forever tainting conservatives forever, ruining their reputations, lying through their stinking teeth about us and other conservatives.

Now we're going to sit here and watch them do it again to whoever the next nominee is, because we want to give the Democrats a chance to challenge them. We want a meaningful hearing.

Even though we know full well what's going to happen, we're going to take whoever the nominee is, we're going to take her aside, we're going to say sorry, but you've got to take one for the team here. You've got to go up there and you just you got to ignore what they're saying. You got to just got to let them have at you. This is what it's going to take to get you confirmed to the court. And it isn't it isn't necessary.

It's we've got the votes.

Mr. Limbaugh, we might lose the votes if we don't do the hearings now we've got the votes. It's just really so it was originally going to be three days of hearings now I'm hearing it might be for.

I'd allow these dummy have one question, you get five minutes or whatever it is, no grandstanding. Twenty two Democrats here, 22 are 22 members of the committee questions, whatever.

But I'm just you know, I saw what they did to Clarence Thomas. I saw what Ted Kennedy did to Robert Bork. And it never left these people and they didn't do any of it. Their only crime was that they were not commie bastard liberals. And so they had to be destroyed with nothing but abject character assassination. That was rooted in lie after lie after lie, and there was never an apology. Not that that would have mattered, but there never was.

And now now we're gearing up. We saw what happened to Kavanaugh. Was he told, hey, Brett, look, it's going to be vicious up there. That's what you got to do. Man, if you want the gig, we'll try to protect you as best we can.

But that's what's going to happen anyway. I could take a break. I'm a little long. Sit tight. We will be back.

By the way, that piece I put up on the digital cameras, a direct mail piece. It's not an ad.

I got confused with the lingo, but it's a direct mail piece that is being mass mailed in North Carolina right now. Probably some other places, too. Here's Robert in Orlando, Florida, your next to the EIB Network. Hi.

Hey, Rush. Nice to talk to you. And we all love you out here. Thank you. So I just want to make a comment on when Trump is asked about the peaceful transfer of power. He should point out there's only one administration in my lifetime and possibly history that did not do that. And that is the Obama Biden administration. When they transferred power, they were spying on his campaign. They were sabotaging his national security adviser exactly why it happened.

They were falsifying federal documents for warrants. And then Biden recently had a phone call to Ukraine saying, don't worry, after he's in office, we'll have a back channel. If that's not a coup, if that's not possible transfer, I don't know what is.

Now, that's an excellent point. And Trump does you know, he makes that point now and then, just not in the context of answering the question the way you suggest here. But that would have been that would have been a good answer, all you want, peaceful transfer of power. How about what happened to me? How about the fact that I won? They still have not accepted those risks. I would have rammed it back down this Playboy's throat, which is probably something somebody Playboy's used to having happen to them.

Something rammed down their throat. But here's Mark Meadows, grab audio, sound bite number twenty six. This was moments ago on the Fox News Channel. The question he got was from the host at Harris Faulkner. Question, Mitch McConnell tweeted out that an orderly transition of power has been happening since 1972. He was asked about it by reporters and he said, read my tweet. Perhaps not everybody's happy about how this is unfolding with the president talking about this issue when we look at peaceful transfer.

The White House is prepared for the peaceful transfer we really have to look at at the American public. It was Hillary Clinton who told Joe Biden not to concede at all, and that's before a single vote was cast. So we just need to make sure we're fair.

All of that is very true. There you go. There you go. Hillary Clinton has told Biden, whatever you do, don't.

Concede. Whatever you do, don't concede translation, we are not going to accept the outcome of the election. If you concede and you're announcing the outcome, you do not do it, we're not going to have a transfer of power. Or better stated, we are going to have a transfer of power, whether we win the election or not. So I you know, this these these these people get away with the double standard, they accuse us. Of things that they end up doing routinely anyway, Mark Meadows is right, I'm gonna take a brief break, will do that and be right back.

Don't go away.

What was obviously a planned and orchestrated moment, the question yesterday from the Playboy magazine reporter Jonathan Karl of ABC News, picked up right where the Playboy reporter left off today, the White House briefing room and the press briefing with Kayleigh McEnany. And we have a couple of sound bites from the press briefing to illustrate how it was a coordinated effort from yesterday to today to get the White House to somehow admit the president expects to lose and will have a peaceful exit if that happens, blah, blah.

Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day. Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchorman. You can trust what you hear on this program. We're not interested in lying to you. We have an agenda. It's a pro America. Make America great. Keep America great agenda. And we want to lie to you about it.

And we don't tell about no. If you want to be part of the program. 802 eight two two eight eight two. Look, if you're just joining us, there is a. A little story that hit today from Axios, which I don't think a whole lot of people are going to be spending a lot of time on it. To me, this story is big.

I could be proven wrong, but for the past number of weeks.

The Democrats have been pushing, really pushing, I mean, they have been really urging mail in ballots.

Absentee mail in ballots, early voting, or they've been pushing every way to vote except showing up on Election Day at your polling place.

And they have also been telling their their base that don't panic on election night, we fully expect that on election night, as the vote count is reported, that Trump is going to appear to have won in a landslide. But be patient. Because the mail in ballots could take a while to count them, the absentee ballots are going to take a while to count them. And by the time all that happens, Biden is going to end up winning an Electoral College landslide.

But but but don't panic Democrats, because election night, it's going to look like Trump has won. So you. Understand, they've been pushing every way of voting except showing up. At your polling place on Election Day, now in the midst of all that comes this story today from Axios, Democrats pivot to promoting in-person voting. Democrats spent the early months of the pandemic urging their base to vote absentee. The theory being that it's not going to be safe to show up.

So much disease out there, the pandemic, social distancing and all that, you mean just too risky? You might end up getting covid-19 if you show up in person. US don't do that. Vote paper, vote Maylin, vote absentee now.

They're pivoting as though the flu, the China flu, not a big deal here, a pandemic covid-19 Democrats spent the early months of the pandemic urging their base to vote absentee.

But as threats of postal service delays, Trump team litigation, meaning trying to throw out a bunch of paper ballots and mail in ballots.

And because of higher ballot rejection rates, they have found, by the way, that these mail in ballots. A tremendous percentage of them get thrown out because there's many things wrong with them, incorrect signature and no signature, incorrect address, no address.

And the reason for that is that they are they are the perfect fraud vehicle. So the Democrats are switching away from as of today. September 24th. Because of higher ballot rejection rates, because Trump's going to sue left and right. Many Democrats are pivoting to now promoting in-person voting. And actually, this is why it matters. Well, the Democrats are exponentially more likely to vote by mail than Republicans this year. Why would that be? Because the Democrats have been urging their voters to vote by mail.

And because their voters think it is an opportunity to game the system. If enough mail in ballots are lost or rejected on a technicality or undercounted, why it could change the outcome of the election, really?

I don't know what they think their collective IQ of the readers of Axios news stories is, but it can't be very high. You know, the reason why this matters is the Democrats are more likely to use mail in ballots and they could be rejected, they could be undercounted, it could really change the outcome of the election. No kidding. So the bottom line is, for some reason, the Democrats have figured that mail in ballots. Going to hurt him.

When just last week, last week, mail in ballots were the ticket, mail in ballots were the key to victory. Next paragraph, driving the news in Colorado, the former governor, John Hickenlooper, is running against Senator Cory Gardner told Axios he's encouraging voters to physically take their mail in ballots to a drop box. Do so early, really early. But now the efforts underway to get people to show up in person on Election Day, why would that be?

I don't think this is going to get much attention and maybe I'm overemphasizing I don't know, I think it's a big deal because they had so much invested in this mail in ballot. Technique, they've been urging their voters to do this for weeks now. And I do think that I'm a factor here a little bit in the because I've been urging all of you ever just vote in person, show up on Election Day, flood the zone, flood your polling place.

It's it's where landslide victories are actually voting on Election Day, having your vote counted that day. It can mess up their exit polls, it can it can accomplish so much. It demonstrates the turnout. It doesn't leave anything to guess. I really think the old traditional way of voting is what's called for you go to your polling place, you get the ballot, you take it in the machine, you punch the holes you want, you give it back to whoever and you're done.

OK, Kayleigh McEnany, White House today, White House press secretary Jonathan Karl, ABC News, I want you to clarify something. The president said yesterday that if he loses this election, can you assure us that there will be a peaceful transfer of power?

Now, the president got the question yesterday from a Playboy reporter and the president said, I don't know, we got to wait and see what happens, exactly what he told Chris Wallace in 2016 in the last debate. I don't know what's going to happen. And he talked about all of the ballots that are out there, all the bad ballots, all the incorrect ballots, all the problems, whether it's I don't know what's going to happen. I think the main thing Trump knows, he's not going to tell anybody before the election anything that give them a headline.

Trump announces he expects to lose. Trump concedes the election. Trump expects this. He's not going to give them that. That's what they want. Here is how she answered the question you are referring to.

The question asked by the Playboy reporter writes, I'm referring to the president being asked if there would be a peaceful transfer of power and he did not say yes. Will there be a peaceful transfer of power if he loses?

I believe that question asked by the Playboy power. In fact, I think I have it right here. He was asked when lose or draw whether he would accept the transfer of power. I'm not entirely sure if he won, why he would accept a transfer of power. That is maybe the deranged wish of that reporter. But that's not how I covered it very well.

How did you hear the deranged wish of the reporter?

So Kelly said, let me reread the question because there's no question this thing has been the media worked this up in tandem. Get it? Get two days out of this. The Playboy guy goes first in the briefing as Jonathan Karl picks it up today. So she reads the question back. He was asked, quote, Win, lose or draw. And this guy was being rude and snarky when he asked this question of Trump. They're getting worse when Trump does a White House briefing.

These reporters are becoming snarkier and they're getting even ruder.

Win, lose or draw. Will you accept the transfer of power and she points out, win, lose or draw? Why? Why would he accept a transfer of power if he wins? So Jonathan Karl then said, well, he was asked a simple question, don't give me technicalities stuff. He was asked a simple question. If he loses the election, will this president assure us that there will be a peaceful transfer of power?

The president will accept the results of a free and fair election. But I think that your question is more fitting to be asked of Democrats who have already been on the record saying they won't accept the results of an election. In fact, I have several of them here for you. South Carolina Democrat Jim Clyburn has said that Trump is not going to win fairly. Senator Barbara Boxer has said that the only way Trump will win is to steal it. That's according to Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer.

The Washington Post has noted that the headline Democrats may not trust the results of the election if Trump wins. And then you have that beautiful quote from Hillary Clinton that Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstance. So I think your fitting is more more fitting question for Democrats.

That's why they hate Kerry McInally. She throws it right. You need to go ask Democrats. Mystikal, they're the ones that have yet to accept the results of 2016. Peaceful transfer of power the Democrats have tried to make the past four years the absolute worst in anybody's life. So he's good and firing right back at Carl this way is I like it's aggressive now, folks, I need to tell you some things here about this, the current lay of the land and how I'm thinking about it.

I could be wrong, obviously, but I really am starting to get more and more confident, especially every day when when the Biden campaign announces they're putting a lid on campaign operations that day every day at nine thirty, ten o'clock in the morning.

So Joe Biden's going into nocturnal vampire mode before noon every day. He does not have. The enthusiasm. There isn't any enthusiasm for him, there is he's got nothing even close to what Trump has in terms of connection with his voters and enthusiasm on the part of those voters. What what Biden has is a D next to his name, and he's relying on on that and what they hope are huge negatives associated with that, with Trump.

But he doesn't he doesn't have any enthusiasm coming his way and he doesn't have the enthusiasm himself to go out and get. The lackadaisical voter, the voter that's paying scant attention to things. I think Trump is going to be able before the election to announce another foreign policy achievement under what it is. And I think if he nominates Amy CONI Barrack for the Supreme Court, great optics, they're.

That and they will attack her, even though they have vetted her once before, remember was Dianne Feinstein, who said the dogma.

Lives loudly with you or something? Dogma. Speaks loudly, meaning her Catholicism. Dianne Feinstein. Was saying to Amy, CONI Bravo, your Catholic religious beliefs. Holy smokes, man, you really believe that stuff? That's what she was saying.

And they'll go after her again on that. They will attack her. She can you know, the fact that she can withstand it still doesn't change my mind about whether she should have to go through it. But based on her first hearings that I saw, she's kind, she's soft spoken, she's like the opposite of folk.

I don't think Elizabeth Warren is is shrewish. Hillary Clinton is whiny. Amy CONI Barrett is.

Kind, soft spoken, reasonable takes a lot to knock her off of her of her game. And I'm telling you, the only question now is how they get Biden out of the debates. And I will repeat, I don't believe that Biden is going to show up. I know the debate is next Tuesday. I'm on the record from day one saying I don't think they're going to happen or this debate's going. I don't think Biden's going to show up and I see no reason to change it.

It'd be the simplest thing in the world for me to come in. I guess Russia folks, I guess I could say I was wrong.

I thought the debate would be canceled long before now.

But I'm still going to stick with my original prediction. And by the way, because I believe it, not because I think I have to, not because I think I owe it to everybody in terms of honesty, playing the role of straight shooter to stick. I literally don't think.

That this debate is going to happen. They can't let it happen. I think there is an alternative to my theory. I think one of the reasons they're putting a lid on the campaign is that they are putting him through rigorous coaching. And I think their fervent hope is that he can debate and survive it, if he can survive the first debate, then they will declare victory and claim no more debates are necessary. Because of Trump's cheating or Trump's mean spirited attitude, Trump is unprofessional.

Trump is unpresidential. Vice President Biden refuses to subject himself any more. One debate is enough that they'll try that if he does the debate and manages to survive it. But I'm telling you, I will not be surprised if at some point they claim that he's been exposed to comfort and has to quarantine. Some magical staffer, some magical, eager donors, somebody. Will turn up sick. Somebody who I've been in relatively close contact with Plug's. And this will require plug's to quarantine, maybe offer to do the debate on Zohn, we shall see.

Won't be long before we find out.

You ever wondered why the drive by media not asking Biden if he will accept the results? Why? Why is nobody ever asked why are you going to guarantee us a peaceful transfer of power if you lose when you take the Democrat Party with you and acknowledge that you've lost because you haven't acknowledged it in 20, six and most, if you're going to ask anybody this question, the question should be asked of a Democratic nominee, who is Biden, not Trump.

It's the Democrats who have refused to accept the results from 2016. They should get the question, why is nobody asking Biden? Aside from the fact that nobody can find him and aside from the fact that he's not taking questions. Why does Biden have seven hundred lawyers in the battleground states with papers already written to sue over the outcome? Why is everybody from Hillary on down telling Biden not to concede? They don't think they're going to win this thing. They are the ones that deserve the question, not Donald Trump.

You know, folks, some of us are much more proactive than other people. Take the idea of installing a home security system for some of us here about the safety and the protection of a system. And they say, well, better safe than sorry. And they put it in immediately. Other people are reactive. It takes a home break in in the neighborhood before they will say, you know what, we may ever get a security system here in both personality types.

Understandable. Either way you get there, you eventually contemplate how do I make my family and property safe? And the answer, whenever you start asking yourself this question is once you remember, the answer is simply safe. That is the name. Of a home security system is going to give you the protection and peace of mind that you want simply safe protects every door, every window, every room of a house. The system is state of the art. It works on wi fi.

Throughout your home, there aren't any wires, I got to tell you, that simplifies things, it doesn't cheapen things. Well, cost wise it does, but it does not lessen the effectiveness at all. In fact, it may even improve it. Motion detectors, HD cameras, sensors, sirens, whatever you want. If you want to get really intricate, you're going to have sensors that detect the sound of glass breaking. They send you all the components that you say you want, all pre configured, pretested.

You install them, it all takes less than an hour. You want 24/7 monitoring connects to the cops. That's fourteen ninety nine a month. No contract.

You're going to love it. And you're going to really appreciate just how effective and simple, simply safe is. Just go online, see the system there. You buy it there. Simply say for USA Dotcom, they're going to throw in a free HD camera when you buy a 99 dollar value, simply safe USA dotcoms don't even use my name websites it. That's all you need.

Simply say for USA dotcom free HD camera.

Tostin, you know, there is there's one other explanation. What could be going on with Biden?

And with them announcing the lid on the on the campaign every morning at nine, 30, I mean, last Saturday, they they they closed it down at eight thirty Saturday morning. You know what could be going on? I mentioned some time ago within the last 10 days that there is a a trait, a personality characteristic of people.

Suffering from dementia. And it has a name. They call them sundowners and it. Is because. That some people with dementia. Begin to really worsen around sunset. So they called the name is Sundowners, not everybody but but many. So it could be you know, the debate starts at nine o'clock. That's why we never see Plug's nine o'clock at night. Short of the Democrat convention, and we don't know how much of that was live or taped.

Do we? We don't know. So it could well be that that that they are trying to change the internal body clock.

So that Biden is not affected by the sundowner itis. When the debate comes on Tuesday, it's a possibility and by the way, I'm throwing the stuff, I'm not trying to be funny.

Don't I'm not I'm not trying to be.

In a disguised way, a clever put down, none of that, I'm just trying to explain what actually could be going on because it's odd.

It is odd for like days in a row now to announce when you're, what, six weeks away, you shut down the campaign every day. And by the way, where's Comilla? Where's she? She's not even out there.

I've had some people say, well, Rush, come on. The answer to that's easy. They're afraid she's going to overshadow plug's. Come on, folks.

That can't be what it is. That's that if she overshadows Plug's, it's a positive, it's not what it is, there are things about her they've got to hide, just like Biden's list of judicial nominees, they don't dare make that list public. They don't dare it's going to have communist socialist radicals all over it, and that's what Kamala Harris is. Man, I've never I've never seen a vice presidential nominee as invisible as this one is Dedeaux never seen a nominee himself this invisible.

Let's go back to the phones. Josh in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, hello. Glad you waited. Thank you, sir. I can't tell you what an honor and a pleasure megadose through your prayers to you. I've been listening to you since I've been a teenager and in my early 50s. Now, I got to tell you three things in reference. I was a police officer for almost a decade. I dealt with the situation of traffic stops or in the Michael Brown situation all the way down here where people were using the hands up don't shoot scenario on a traffic stop, but had said that in reference to the Brown a situation, of course, we know the left is going to use anything that they consider a tragedy.

And yes, this is a tragedy. Any loss of life, all lives matter is a tragedy, especially in a way that it seems that her life was taken. But on the same token, let's look at a couple of things. Number one, your caller a couple of calls ago, I appreciate he's an advocate of the Second Amendment, but let's consider the fact he said he's going to shoot as they come in. How many left wing liberals have tried to get rid of the castle law where you can't shoot?

When somebody's trying to come in your house, you have to prove that your life was threatened even in your own home. Number two, spectrum news here locally where every left wing liberal news channel, I listen to them only for the weather report in the morning. Sometimes I got to listen in there to their job. But they reported this morning still and other local channels are still reporting that it was a no knock warrant when it was very clear that it wasn't.

And number three, this individual wasn't even supposed to be in possession of a gun. He's a convicted felon. Good point. Good point. Well, so much of the story was not true as reported. You see, this is this is the problem, Josh.

And as an ex cop, I have to think that you are well aware of this. The American people have literally been lied to about so much and they don't know it. I keep bringing it up because I think it's one of the most egregious examples, the fact that Trump said there were good people on both sides, including the neo-Nazis and the skinheads. He didn't say it. Now coming close behind it in second place, they're trying to get as many people as possible to believe that, Trump said of dead Marines in cemeteries around the world that are a bunch of jokers and losers, that he doesn't respect military people to get killed.

He didn't say it. There's no evidence for it. Nothing but four anonymous sources who will not come forth and confirm or identify themselves.

The media still running with it. Oh, and how about the fact that Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the 2016 election that is still out there.

They're still making hay over it. And it is shocking how many Americans believe all of that hands up, don't shoot in Ferguson, St. Louis. Trayvon Martin in Florida, Freddie Gray in Baltimore, and the list could go on and on and on and on, now they can turn to Brianna Taylor to it. I'm glad, Josh, that you call this Vernon Richmond, California. You are next, sir. Hello.

Hello. Thank you for taking my call. Yes, sir. Oh, my point is all this adulation for Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her politics is misplaced there. She's supposed to be in all the court justice. There's supposed to be dispassionate judges of the law and the application of the law not supposed to be pushing aside. And anybody who is pushing aside really should be suspect when we think of the women's rights or civil rights and we adore her for it, we should be advancing the Constitution because that's what gave it to us, not a judge who read the Constitution and told us what it said.

Well, look, you know this without me having to say it, but you raise a good point. Supreme Court justices are supposed to be arbiters of the law. They're supposed to determine at least the way the courts constituted. Now, whether various cases that come before them are constitutional or not, sometimes the cases have nothing to do with the Constitution. They will take them.

But in large part, the Supreme Court has become the final arbiter and the American people have accepted it, which frustrates me to no end.

The final line. The final is the last place in the line we go to find out whether something constitutional or not.

So what these people who adore RB genius thing is she was a good liberal, not a good justice, the two go hand in hand. The two were the same thing. And good liberal is a good justice. The purpose of justices. At the Supreme Court. The U.S. district courts and the appellate court, the purpose? Yes, to advance the agenda, using the law to do so. It's where the left, by the way, gets their insurance policy for losing elections because they realize they can't win them all.

So even when they lose elections, they've still got left wing judges all over the judiciary. But Trump.

Trump. In less than four years now has appointed 300, got him confirmed, he's made a huge dent into the left's insurance policy and this Supreme Court pick, this opening portends huge game changing. Results for the makeup of the U.S. Supreme Court and so forth, so but but the the adulation for Ruth Ginsburg is. She was a good liberal. She was a proud liberal, she was a good woman, liberal judge, she combined all three political elements of being a woman, a feminist.

And judge with the liberalism of the day and made sure. Every chance that she got. That those three things were first, second and third in her deciding cases.

I get your point, I mean, dispassionate referee is what? But she was being praised and is being praised because she's a good liberal. It's as as they all will be. When the time comes. For judgment to be rendered on their careers and lives be the same thing. For any of the rest and now a brief and obscene profit time out, my friends are back with much more after this.

Hey, ladies and gentlemen, falling asleep every night on a set of Boehland branch sheets is a luxurious experience worth having. And you don't have to spend the luxury prices to experience it.

Now, if you've ever had if you've ever had the chance to stay in a five star hotel suite or room, you might have had this kind of a comfortable sleeping experience.

And when you own a set of these sheets, you get to experience it every night and you can you can own a set of Boehland branch sheets that makes this possible every night.

They use pure organic cotton in the manufacturing of the product that's unique to them. And by the way, they have started copycat after copycat after copycat.

They are the trend setter here. They are boehland branches, the cutting edge.

I think that you will feel the difference the moment you unwrap the packaging, when the sheets arrive at your house, you'll put them on the bed, you'll get in bed. Now, I'm raising expectations. I know that. And sometimes you can raise them too high. It's impossible for the expectations to be met. So I have to be very careful here because the last thing I want is you get isn't a big deal. Rush made me think I'm getting in a bunch of velvet here.

No, I didn't say that. But you know how expectations are. You can overdo it, so I have to rein it in, I'm just telling you that. These kinds of sheets cost a thousand dollars in a high end department store. They are the kinds of sheets that are in a five star, four star hotel room or suite.

But Boehland Branch doesn't charge anywhere near a thousand dollars for them. They charge 160 and then your first set, you get a 50 dollar discount, so your first sets 110 dollars.

Sometimes the price is 250 just depends on the time of year, but right now we're looking at one hundred and sixty bucks minus fifty for your first set. And by the way, this luxury component is part of every product that Boehland branch makes. The websites, Bollon branch dot com. That's the only place you can get these sheets, they don't sell them retail.

It's all part of keeping the price where they want it to be.

OSL and branch dot com. The shipping is free. The promo code is my name, that simple, and that'll get you the 50 bucks off 30 nights to try them 30 nights to see if I have raised expectations too high.

And if they're not what you thought they were going to be, then you can send them back and they will fully refund your 110 bucks. You're going to like them so much are going to start giving them away as presents Bowl and Branch Beyoglu and Branch NORCOM. Kevin in Littleton, Massachusetts, hello.

He was just pretty simple and direct. Why the hell would Trump agree to peacefully hand over a transition the presidency, when in all likelihood it's going to be a friggin mess? Well, he wouldn't exactly right, exactly right. In fact, I had a note here who was the king of pop quiz for you, since you're the first guy that can take you ready, you want to take the pop quiz? Go give it.

Who's the last Democrat nominee to concede on election night?

The last Democrat who did it to. Oh, boy. Let's see, Jimmy Carter. No, but you're close.

It's Mike Dukakis, the loser. Dukakis is the last Democratic conceded on election night. You got all the way back to him. It's 1988. John F. Kerry and Hillary Clinton conceded the next day they didn't believe it. They conceded the next day, Clinton and Obama both won twice. They didn't have to concede.

You know, he's a patriot. He's just the way that guy has stood up for this country. It's just unbelievable. Believe. No, it isn't.

It, though. It's just amazing. The guy standing up for the country make America great again. That's controversial. That means we got to destroy the guy. So all this talk, are you going to peacefully concede? Are you going to you have to go back to 1988. How many how many years of his? Thirty. No, it's thirty two years since a Democrat has conceded on election night 33. And they're asking Trump, I'm telling you, the guy that deserves to be asked the question is Biden.

Or any other Democrat. I'm glad you called out there. Ken, thank you very much. I appreciate folks you have to give. I'm just going to tell you, you got to give Biden's handlers some credit. All in at the end of the day, this may be the biggest con in the history of the country outside of the hoax of Trump colluding with Russia. They actually took a mummy. Joe Biden and they've gotten to within 40 days of the election, passing him off as a legitimate candidate.

Think of the conspiracies and the collusions every day with the media just to get this far. Can you imagine if Joe Biden were a Republican? The media's questioning would be relentless. Putting a lid on the campaign every day at nine thirty would not be tolerated. Just the work that the Biden people are doing with the media to keep them quiet. Is amazing, you got to give them credit, folks. They have kept a mummy. Around is a viable candidate for how many months, Dan Balz in The New York Times, five things Biden and his allies should be worried about.

I meant to get to these today, but I didn't have time. But there's always tomorrow. I'll get to them tomorrow and a bunch of other stuff.

We'll figure that.
