(chuckles)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Well, no.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (chuckles)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8220;Mega dittos&#8221; is timeless.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; You\u2019re right. Just as you are.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; It predates probably the first six months of the program.&nbsp; It wasn\u2019t part of the original program.&nbsp; Do you know what the meaning of &#8220;dittos&#8221; is?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; No!<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_132126\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/EIBGolden-Mic-Era-of-Limbaugh-b.jpg\" align=\"middle\">RUSH:&nbsp; What do you think&#8230;? When people call here and say, &#8220;Mega dittos,&#8221; what do you think they are actually saying?&nbsp; Just &#8220;Hear, hear, Rush! I agree. You\u2019re really right. I just hope you keep saying it because I really agree with you,&#8221; something like that?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; Something like that, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; That\u2019s not what it means.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; Agreeing with you wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; That\u2019s not what it means.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; No, huh?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; No.&nbsp; You what it means?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: What?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I had a call from guy &#8212; this is like in the first year of the program &#8212; and he was going on and on and on about how wonderful the show is and how much he loved it because there wasn\u2019t anything like it in 1988 and \u201989 in all of the rest of national media was the networks and the newspapers.&nbsp; There wasn\u2019t anything like this back then, and he just kept praising it effusively. So I thanked him and went on to the next call and the first words out of that next caller\u2019s mouth (it was a woman) were, &#8220;Ditto to what that guy just said.&#8221;&nbsp; So &#8220;ditto&#8221; actually means, &#8220;I love the show.&nbsp; Please don\u2019t ever go away.&nbsp; It\u2019s too important.&nbsp; It\u2019s too crucial.&#8221;&nbsp; And then part of it also means, &#8220;And you\u2019re always right, and don\u2019t stop being.&#8221;&nbsp; But it really more is an expression of gratitude for the existence of the show, which I\u2019m sure you meant as well.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; That is exactly what I mean.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Okay, cool.&nbsp; So there you go.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: All right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But now you have the exact meaning of it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; I do.&nbsp; Thank you.&nbsp; And you\u2019re always informing us, as always.&nbsp; So my question is: Why do we have a human element in the Electoral College?&nbsp; Why isn\u2019t it just electronically done when the candidate wins that particular state?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Well, you want an entire history on the Electoral College?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; No.&nbsp; That will take forever, I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Well, actually it wouldn\u2019t, but the specific of your question is: Why do we need humans there?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; Right.&nbsp; Because now you have someone to change their vote or what their vote should be as &#8220;we, the people&#8221; vote for voted for.&nbsp; You know, if he got 316 electoral votes, and then it changes, how many &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Well &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; &#8212; electoral votes would have to be changed before the vote was changed?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_132139\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Electoral-Map-2016.jpg\" align=\"middle\">RUSH:&nbsp; Well, that would change based on which states pull out.&nbsp; The 270 is a majority of all the states.&nbsp; If the Electoral College&#8230; Let\u2019s say that Florida did not finish their count and had not certified by December the 19th. Then Florida\u2019s votes would be taken out in total.&nbsp; So the 270 would then change to 263 or 264.&nbsp; It wouldn\u2019t remain at 270.&nbsp; So, look, the reasons why there are people is because there weren\u2019t any computers what the country was founded.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; Don\u2019t you think it\u2019s time to update that?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; No.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; No?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; No.&nbsp; Because it\u2019s not every state that the electors are required by law to vote the way that their people in the state voted.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; Hmm.&nbsp; Okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; And besides, if you have robots in there, they can be hacked.&nbsp; (chuckles)&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, we can\u2019t have that going on.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They can be tampered with.&nbsp; No, you don\u2019t want to take the human element out of this.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; Okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; You really don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; I just thought &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Let me tell you something: Nothing is going to come of this.&nbsp; This is part of the ongoing campaign that is brought to you by the Democrat Party and the media (which literally is one and the same) to create doubt.&nbsp; This whole thing is an illusion.&nbsp; They\u2019re trying to make you believe &#8212; and I think they probably have, if you\u2019re looking for a remedy. They\u2019re trying to make you believe that this thing could be taken away from Trump on Monday, that they\u2019re making really great progress, and that they might need only, like, 10 more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So you\u2019re sitting out there getting very worried.&nbsp; &#8220;Oh, my God! We can\u2019t allow this to happen.&nbsp; We need to have robots in there,&#8221; or whatever that automatically votes the way the people in the state did so that it&#8230; But that\u2019s not gonna happen.&nbsp; These people are in fantasyland.&nbsp; We only know, really, of one elector who\u2019s gonna change his vote. Only one.&nbsp; And <a href=\"http:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2016\/12\/16\/the_new_york_times_printed_fake_news_from_a_fake_9_11_first_responder_because_he_s_an_anti_trump_elector\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">that\u2019s this glittering jewel of colossal ignorance named Chris Suprun from Dallas<\/a>, who probably is not even a Republican.&nbsp; We don\u2019t know of anybody else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2016\/12\/16\/the_new_york_times_printed_fake_news_from_a_fake_9_11_first_responder_because_he_s_an_anti_trump_elector\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img id=\"eZObject_132124\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/WFAA-8-TRUTH.jpg\" align=\"middle\"><\/a>We know of two electors in Colorado who asked &#8212; who went to court and demanded &#8212; to be released from the law requiring them to vote the way the people of Colorado did, and the judge told \u2019em to put their head where there isn\u2019t any sunshine.&nbsp; And so then they went to try to appeal the judge and the judge said, &#8220;You know what? If I didn\u2019t know any better, I would say you\u2019re trying to sabotage this race,&#8221; and he shut \u2019em down.&nbsp; There\u2019s a law professor at Harvard who claims he knows that 20 delegates that might switch.&nbsp; He doesn\u2019t know anything of the sort.<\/p>\n<p>We also have been told that 59 electors have asked for an intel briefing before they commit their vote.&nbsp; It turns out that all of them are Hillary voters, so it doesn\u2019t matter.&nbsp; There aren\u2019t any Trump voters that are wavering except this one in Dallas.&nbsp; Not that we officially know.&nbsp; But they\u2019re trying to make you think that Trump could actually lose this and that it\u2019s getting close and that they\u2019re making progress.&nbsp; They\u2019re lying to you! There\u2019s a rule of thumb here that I have found to be trustworthy over 80% of the time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When there is this giant narrative, when there is a singular story out there like there is right now about the Russians hacking the election so that Trump would win &#8212; when the media is pumping it and the Democrats are quoting the media and the media\u2019s quoting the Democrats and it\u2019s just like a giant blanket thrown all over the country &#8212; don\u2019t believe the story.&nbsp; It\u2019s made up!&nbsp; It is a script. I call the daily soap opera.&nbsp; It\u2019s a false narrative.&nbsp; Its purpose is to create doubt.<\/p>\n<p>Its purpose is to dispirit.&nbsp; Its purpose is to create the suspicion that Trump is not legitimate; the election was fraudulent.&nbsp; It\u2019s all made up.&nbsp; The bottom line is, you\u2019re safer not believing what you read in the New York Times. I don\u2019t care what it\u2019s about, but certainly that you\u2019re safer not believing anywhere in the mainstream media the general thrust of this story, that the Russians wanted Trump to win and hacked the Democrats and embarrassed Podesta and Hillary and succeeded.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That story isn\u2019t true.&nbsp; And it certainly is not why Hillary lost the election.&nbsp; And there is not a massive wave of Trump electors planning to defect.&nbsp; And even if they did, it doesn\u2019t matter, because if nobody gets 270 electoral votes, there\u2019s a remedy for this.&nbsp; The president and vice president are chosen by the House and the Senate.&nbsp; Well, the Republicans control both parties, and they can only choose from candidates who got enough electoral votes to be in the final &#8212; they couldn\u2019t go pick Romney, they couldn\u2019t pick Jeb.&nbsp; They would have to vote Trump, and the Senate would vote Pence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_132125\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/TrumpWhitehouse-Fireworks.jpg\" align=\"middle\">So Trump\u2019s gonna be president.&nbsp; What they\u2019re hoping to accomplish is that as many people as possible don\u2019t trust it and don\u2019t believe it and think it\u2019s an illegitimate outcome so that Trump will not have a mandate nor any political strength or power to implement his mandate.&nbsp; And the safest thing to do, believe me, the safe thing to do is not believe them.&nbsp; I tell you this with 28 years of experience.&nbsp; This is too convenient.&nbsp; Look at how this just automatically sprung up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times last Saturday, when the story that the CIA thinks X, now it is the news of the day, now it is the premise of the day, now it is the story, the only story everywhere, other than whatever they\u2019re trying to do with the Electoral College?&nbsp; It\u2019s unnatural.&nbsp; It isn\u2019t news. It\u2019s totally manufactured.&nbsp; It is totally created.&nbsp; Call it spin.&nbsp; It\u2019s really fake news.&nbsp; When you really get down to it, it\u2019s fake news.&nbsp; It is a political strategy that is being implemented to look like a news story, which is how most of liberalism finds its way into the mainstream of our culture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They create news stories, they buy protesters, they buy people who go out and make it look like the majority of Americans think what they think.&nbsp; They put these stories in the mainstream media, which makes it look like every American agrees with this.&nbsp; This is how they get what they want.&nbsp; When what they are and what they want and when who they are is on the ballot, like happened in this election, they lose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hillary Clinton lost because of who she is, because of her track record of failure, because there\u2019s no resume, there\u2019s no record of experience that she\u2019s good or qualified at anything.&nbsp; She cannot cite any achievements or accomplishments, other than traveling miles and being named after people she wasn\u2019t named after and being told to go join the dogs by somebody at the Marine Corps.&nbsp; She\u2019s exposed.&nbsp; She\u2019s exposed as a phony and a fraud and everything that she believes and claims to have done she hasn\u2019t done.&nbsp; It finally came to light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The American people, when had the chance, three times now have said &#8220;no&#8221; to Hillary Clinton.&nbsp; The Democrats did it in 2008.&nbsp; The Jill Stein recount this year and the American people in 2016.&nbsp; Three times in eight years the American people have looked at Hillary Clinton and said &#8220;no.&#8221;&nbsp; And so there must be some explanation for this other than that.&nbsp; So it\u2019s the Russians today.&nbsp; And it\u2019s Vladimir Putin, and it\u2019s hacking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, Hillary is actually telling her donors that Putin targeted her personally because he\u2019s so afraid of her.&nbsp; We\u2019re dealing with some genuinely sick people here, folks, truly, I\u2019m talking mentally ill.&nbsp; They\u2019re not all there.&nbsp; They pose a great danger.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; We did offer the last caller an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus. &nbsp;I was just really long on time and I didn\u2019t have to do it. Snerdley did it.&nbsp; What kind of phone did she ask for?&nbsp; Somebody took an AT&amp;T phone?&nbsp; Amazing!&nbsp; We got every color and size.&nbsp; Very good.&nbsp; So she\u2019ll have that tomorrow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_132140\" class=\"img_right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/622583232_large.jpg\" align=\"right\">By the way, on the Electoral College, just to give you an idea that they are failing and flailing, the latest that the Democrats are trying now, let\u2019s delay the Electoral College vote.&nbsp; That\u2019s right.&nbsp; Don Beyer, B-e-y-e-r, of Virginia, posted a statement on his Facebook page saying that the Electoral College vote should be delayed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Quote, &#8220;Recent, credible intelligence reports suggest a concerted effort by a foreign power to interfere in the outcome. I believe that Electors should be given all information relevant to this interference before they make their decisions and before they cast their votes. Congress must take whatever action is necessary to protect the integrity of our democracy. I call on the leaders of Congress to delay the date of the vote for the Electoral College until an intelligence briefing has been given to each Elector.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is not gonna happen.&nbsp; That\u2019s not the basis on which these people vote.&nbsp; This is a formality.&nbsp; It is an honor to be chosen an elector, in most cases.&nbsp; They don\u2019t get intel briefings.&nbsp; This is the Democrats flailing away in desperate search for something to hold on to because their world has been yanked from them.&nbsp; Everything they believe, every lie, every misstatement, every false impression, every aspect of denial that they have been living in brought home to roost in this election.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They are not the majority.&nbsp; Their ideas are not loved and adored.&nbsp; The majority of the people in this country love America, do not dislike it, do not distrust it.&nbsp; The majority of people in this country do not want our culture further attacked and rotted away.&nbsp; The people of this country are sick and tired of not having any good-paying jobs anymore.&nbsp; The people of this country are sick and tired of being told that America\u2019s best days have already happened.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The people of this country are sick and tired of being told that they\u2019re to blame for destroying the planet and such other nonsense.&nbsp; And they\u2019ve had their fill of it.&nbsp; And they told the Democrat in 2008, in 2010, in 2012, and in this election, they told them to take a hike.&nbsp; And the Democrats simply can\u2019t come to grips with it.&nbsp; They simply can\u2019t accept the rejection.&nbsp; They have lied and told themselves they\u2019re loved and adored, and they are effectively royalty in this country.
