RUSH: A lot of my friends are emailing me about this Whitaker situation, the acting attorney general after Sessions had been fired. And I\u2019m also getting a lot of notes from people, “This is a really bad move to fire Sessions. You know, Sessions, he was the best guy Trump could have had in implementing his anti-immigration agenda. People just don\u2019t know it, don\u2019t know all the great work Sessions was doing because Sessions is not a front-and-center, hey, look at me, notice me guy, and he\u2019s not a wartime consigliere-type personality, but, man, it\u2019s gonna be a big, big loss.”<\/p>\n

\"\"And I got people talking to me about his replacement Whitaker and whether or not this is constitutional or not. And I\u2019m saying to everybody that sends me these notes, “Are you watching what\u2019s going on in Arizona and Florida?” I mean, that, to me, is the story. The Democrats are again stealing the election. I think Arizona is gone.<\/p>\n

The difference is, “Mr. Limbaugh, Arizona\u2019s traditionally kind of late. There\u2019s so many mail-in ballots, it takes a while to count them.” There\u2019s no counting going on! They\u2019re looking for votes. Nobody\u2019s counting votes in Arizona right now. The Democrats are looking for votes, they\u2019re casting votes, who knows what\u2019s going on, but they\u2019re not looking for them.<\/p>\n

In Florida a schoolteacher in Miramar found a box. You know what was in it? Ballots. She said, “Why, this looks like it might be important, some ballots.” In fact, the way this is shaking out in Florida I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to learn that Christine Blasey Ford was involved in it because the format of what\u2019s happening in Florida is identical to the way they came forward late in the game in the Kavanaugh hearings.<\/p>\n

And the governor here, Rick Scott, is not sitting around and taking it. He is filing suit against the election people in both Palm Beach County and Broward, which is where the Democrats, if you look at that red-blue map that we showed you of Texas yesterday<\/a>, if you look at that map in Florida where we are, and maybe not so much Tampa, but where we are is the deep blue part of the state.<\/p>\n

When the Democrats need to steal an election this is where they come. They own everything to do with the polling places, the election centers. They run these two counties, Broward and Palm Beach. You can throw Miami-Dade in there too. That would complete that big swath of deep blue and south Florida on the Atlantic coast side. And Rick Scott is threatening legal action. Gillum, who lost the governor\u2019s race, is on the verge of pulling his concession like Algore did, and Gillum has a slogan. I want to tell you what the slogan means.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gillum is out there saying, “We must count every vote.” That is code. In Florida — I want to remind you of something. Those of you who were here and of age, meaning old enough to be paying attention, 18 years ago in 2000 — 19 years ago now, in the year 2000, you remember all of the military ballots that were not counted? Remember that controversy?<\/p>\n

Do you remember all of the controversy over the provisional ballots? Do you know what a provisional ballot is? A lot of people don\u2019t. And nothing wrong if you don\u2019t. A provisional ballot is a ballot cast by somebody whose eligibility is not known at the time they vote. And rather than slow things down and make a big deal about it, they go ahead and let these people vote and they\u2019re called provisional ballots and after everything\u2019s done, if they need \u2019em, they go looking at \u2019em and they inspect them to see if in fact they are cast by eligible voters.<\/p>\n

So when Gillum or anybody starts talking about “count every vote,” it means including the provisional ballots. If it hasn\u2019t happened yet, it will very soon, and it will be done the way the left always does. The provisional ballots will be cast by minorities, people of color, the poor, women and children, whoever are the protected class.<\/p>\n

The people that are always getting the excrement sandwich in life in America will be those who have cast the provisional ballot. And because these are people that are downtrodden, homeless, hungry, thirsty, we need to really, really, really count them. They need to participate in our process. So the move will be to count every provisional ballot as legitimate and eligible.<\/p>\n

“Count every vote” is a dog whistle for “we need to find more votes,” not votes that have been cast. We\u2019re looking for ways to add to vote totals. We are looking for ways to actually cast ballots. That\u2019s what all of this means, and that\u2019s what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, in 2000, it was James A. Baker, the Bush family consigliere came down here with his aide-de-camp, Margaret Tutwiler, and they ran an operation down here that smoked the Democrats. And it was not easy. It was hard as it can be. And it was done on behalf of George W. Bush. I don\u2019t know that the Republican Party has this kind of desire for Donald Trump. And I don\u2019t know who the James A. Baker III of 2000 would be in 2018 Florida. Hopefully there is somebody. But Rick Scott filing suit is a first step, and it\u2019s a good first step.<\/p>\n

Arizona, once the commie babe took the lead out there that\u2019s pretty much it because then they said, “Hey, you know what? We just found a bunch of ballots in the part of Phoenix where the Democrats live.” It was like 500,000 or so, 500,000 ballots from where the Democrats live in Phoenix. I mean, that\u2019s my terminology. But that\u2019s essentially what the situation is there.<\/p>\n

And the reason this is happening — and I\u2019m gonna build on this a little bit during the busy broadcast today. Despite the fact that the Democrats won the House, that\u2019s not where the action is as far as these people are concerned. The action is in the judiciary, and that means the Senate. And that\u2019s why, beyond just general principles, that\u2019s why there is so much focus here on rolling back the Republican majority in the Senate, \u2019cause they have to do that in order to have a shot at stopping any of Trump\u2019s judicial appointments.<\/p>\n

Smart Democrats know — and there aren\u2019t very many of \u2019em — that this full-fledged young Millennial type socialist agenda really isn\u2019t what\u2019s going to make the Democrat Party a majority party. They need the courts. They need the judges. They need to be able to have their own activists in place at various strategic spots in the federal judiciary to be able to legislate from the bench or to rule against legitimate legislation passed by Republican Senate, Republican Congress signed by President Trump, what have you.<\/p>\n

They play for keeps. I mean, this is it. This is their whole life, running government and having government be powerful enough to run everybody else. And it\u2019s what happens. These are people who, although it doesn\u2019t look like this, I\u2019m telling you, people who know they\u2019re not yet the majority, this is how they attempt to overcome that deficiency. They\u2019re on their way, don\u2019t misunderstand, but they\u2019re not yet. And it\u2019s close. I mean, you can see in many of these elections it\u2019s very close.<\/p>\n

President Trump has gotten involved in this. He tweeted — you know, I mentioned this, I mentioned all of this. I\u2019m not saying the president stole it from me. Don\u2019t misunderstand. I\u2019m just saying that we\u2019re on the same wavelength \u2019cause yesterday and the day before I started asking in my very famous mocking tone, “Where are the allegations about the Russians? The Democrats lose a bunch of elections, they lost the governorship in Florida, they lost the Senate in Arizona until they didn\u2019t, and they lost the Senate race in Florida. Where are all the allegations about the Russians?”<\/p>\n

You remember we had all these promises, all these allegations, all of these warnings that the Russians were attempting to influence the midterm elections. So here come the Democrats losing a bunch of elections. Where\u2019s the talk of all the Russians? I haven\u2019t heard it. Have you? No. Why? Why? Because the Democrats hoped to steal these elections and they don\u2019t want anybody saying that there was outside influence like the Russians that had anything to do with it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So President Trump tweets<\/a>, “You mean they\u2019re just now finding votes in Florida and…?” Oh, Georgia, the governor\u2019s race there with Stacy… What is her name, James? (interruption) Stacey Abrams. Stacey Abrams, yeah. The Oprah candidate. Trump said, “You mean they are just now finding votes in Florida and Georgia \u2013 but the Election was on Tuesday? Let\u2019s blame the Russians and demand an immediate apology from President Putin!”<\/p>\n

This is good. This is good. Just mock \u2019em. Trump is bashing Broward County, and Brenda Snipes is the Broward County elections official who has a really dubious and questionable past in all this. She\u2019s almost as bad… What was that babe\u2019s name back in 2000, Carol something or other. I was at a Fuzzy Zoeller golf tournament in Indiana when I first saw this woman, when this whole hanging chad business got started.<\/p>\n

It was Carol somebody and she was in Palm Beach County and she was nearby where I lived. That\u2019s why I paid attention. What\u2019s her name? Do you remember her last name, Dawn, by any chance? Carol something or other. Blonde, 85, 90 years old probably looking. She was 60, very haggard. Life as a Democrat\u2019s not easy no matter when they win. I can\u2019t remember her name. Anyway, this babe, Brenda Snipes, is a real piece of work.<\/p>\n

“Trump took aim at Broward County and its election supervisor, Brenda Snipes today, citing a ‘horrible history\u2019 handling voting results. He said, ‘If you look at Broward County, they\u2019ve had a horrible history. And if you look at the person, in this case the woman involved, she\u2019s had a horrible history.\u2019 Trump was talking to reporters outside the White House today on his way to the helicopter to his way to France.”<\/p>\n

He\u2019s got some big meeting over in France coming up. He and Melania departed Washington today. Look how much attention Florida has received. Arizona too. Voting after the polls have closed has captured the attention of the entire country. Voting after the polls have closed. That\u2019s what\u2019s going on. Voting is still going on! When you\u2019re looking for ballots, when you\u2019re saying count every vote, that means you\u2019re looking for ballots, you\u2019re looking for more votes.<\/p>\n

And the schoolteacher down in Miramar found a box of \u2019em. If it works in Florida, why not the NFL? For example, if your team loses in the NFL, why not say, “Wait a minute. We need to extend the game because the referees blew a bunch of calls in this game.” “We need 10 more minutes,” says the losing team. What would people\u2019s reaction be? “You can\u2019t. We have rules. You can\u2019t do that. You lost.” How about if jurors did it after every jury reaches a verdict?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How about the defendant says, “You know, what? I don\u2019t like. I lost. I want a new jury. Bring in a new jury.” How cool would it be for convict murderers to get a new jury after having been found guilty? (interruption) What do you mean, what\u2019s…? (interruption) Of course it would never happen. But why does happen in our elections? “But, Rush! But, Rush! They haven\u2019t been certified.” Exactly. They haven\u2019t been certified because the left still says there are votes out there to be found and they keep finding votes in schoolrooms and trunks of cars.<\/p>\n

I think that actually did happen in 2000. Somebody found a box in a…? (interruption) Was it Al Franken they found…? (interruption) Oh, that\u2019s right! It was Franken. It was Franken. They found a box of ballots in the trunk of a car under the spare tire, under the spare. It\u2019s when Franken won his Senate seat. This is exactly a replay of that. Either we have rules or we don\u2019t, and if you\u2019re gonna have rules, they have to be enforced because if you don\u2019t you\u2019re gonna get run over by the mob, and Democrat mobs are trying to seize control of the country.<\/p>\n

And they won\u2019t be stopped until they\u2019re stopped. Look at Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson\u2019s home gets invaded by a bunch of Antifa people<\/a>, and the left-wing media say, “Well, I understand it. I think Tucker Carlson needs to understand how he makes people feel with his racism and hate on his television show every night.” Some guy at Vox, a reporter at Vox, Matt Yglesias, says (paraphrased), “Well, I think it\u2019s good!, I think Tucker Carlson and the rest of you, you need to find out what it feels like to be the objects of hate.”<\/p>\n

Tucker Carlson had the leader of that group on his show back in 2000. What was his name? Isaacson. September 2017, this clown\u2019s name is… Da-da-da-da. Well, first name I don\u2019t know. Last name is Isaacson. He\u2019s now… (interruption) Mike Isaacson. He\u2019s the Smash Racism D.C. cofounder, and Tucker had him on the show. Tucker was being… You know what Tucker\u2019s gig is. He brings all these leftists on and makes fools of \u2019em!<\/p>\n

Actually, he lets them make fools of themselves. But, see, the point that I want to make about that is having these people on in an attempt to be fair, in an attempt to give them time on the dreaded and hated Fox News, it doesn\u2019t work, does it? (interruption) Carol Roberts. That\u2019s who it was. Carol Roberts, the supervisor of elections in 2000, now been replaced by this Brenda Snipes.<\/p>\n

At any rate, you can\u2019t cross the aisle with these people. You cannot be nice to them. This guy that ran the invasion at Tucker Carlson\u2019s house was a guest on Tucker Carlson\u2019s show, and he was treated fairly. These leftists that go on Tucker\u2019s show and make fools of themselves do it because that\u2019s who are they. Tucker just asks \u2019em questions and has weird looking facial expressions when they say stupid things.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Marc Elias is a Democrat lawyer. He is tied to the Clinton campaigns and the dossier. Marc Elias has involvement with the Steele dossier, the one that reported Trump, hired a bunch of prostitutes to urinate on a bed in Moscow that Obama had slept in. He has just been sent to Florida to handle not the recount; he\u2019s here to find votes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Marc Elias — the attorney general who retained Fusion GPS to produce that BS Trump dossier on the part of the Hillary\u2019s 2016 campaign — has been retained to represent Bill Nelson\u2019s recount effort, Senator Staples here in Florida. He\u2019s got a smile stapled in his cheekbones.<\/p>\n

So the president in the air on the way to France tweets<\/a>, “As soon as Democrats sent their best Election stealing lawyer, Marc Elias, to Broward County they miraculously started finding Democrat votes. Don\u2019t worry, Florida – I am sending much better lawyers to expose the FRAUD!” The Trumpster is on the case.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I wonder. You know, on election night when it looked like the Republicans were gonna pick up two — and maybe at the outside four — Senate seats, I wonder how many people started getting lazy? They said, “Wow, we won! (clapping) All right,” and started moving on, while the Democrats said, “The hell with that,” and started immediately doing what they do: Finding ballots, demanding that all the provisional ballots be counted.<\/p>\n

Just to review — I had to hurry this in the last segment — Marc Elias is the lawyer that Fusion GPS hired (at Perkins Coie, I believe) who was instrumental in drafting, writing, and getting the Trump dossier introduced into the public domain as a legitimate piece of intel that was part of proving Trump had colluded with Russia. This guy, Marc Elias, is a lawyer. He\u2019s been sent down here to run the Bill Nelson recount effort in the Senate race.<\/p>\n

So Trump tweeted from Air Force One. He\u2019s out there over the Atlantic and he\u2019s tweeting, “As soon as Democrats sent their best Election stealing lawyer, Marc Elias, to Broward County they miraculously started finding Democrat votes. Don\u2019t worry, Florida — I am sending much better lawyers to expose the FRAUD!” It is kind of comforting.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now back to Florida. Here\u2019s the story on the teacher discovering ballots left behind in a Florida polling site. Now, this story has another added ingredient, because this story also shows how people who voted via provisional ballot got caught trying to vote twice. You\u2019ll note that the provisional ballots are always assumed to be 100% Democrat, and who\u2019s to say they\u2019re not?<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s to say that the Democrats don\u2019t send a bunch of ineligible voters to show up?<\/p>\n

\"\"You can\u2019t prove that they\u2019re registered or eligible, but they let them vote on a provisional ballot. No doubt this is what happens. “A Florida teacher says she discovered a locked ballot box that was left behind at a polling site in Miramar. Teacher Lakeisha Sorey told the Sun-Sentinel,<\/a>” the Fort Lauderdale rag, “she came across the box on Thursday afternoon and said it was located in the same area at Sunshine Elementary School where voting had been held earlier this week.”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s funny how this happens every time Democrats need a few more votes, and it\u2019s also funny how this always happens in one of the most liberal counties in the state. Isn\u2019t it amazing? It always happens. “Moreover, Broward County\u2019s election supervisor,” the previously mentioned Brenda Snipes, “has a long history of destroying ballots and violating Florida election law. In 2016, for instance, Brenda Snipes was found to have destroyed untold thousands of uncounted ballots,” and this woman is in charge of Broward County still!<\/p>\n

Now the teacher, Lakeisha “Sorey, said she was concerned the box, which was labeled ‘provisional ballots,\u2019 might have contained uncounted ballots and decided not to meddle with it.” Really? She said it “was labeled ‘provisional ballots,\u2019 might have contained uncounted ballots and she decided not to meddle with it.” Now, for starters, provisional ballots prove the Democrat lie that people are not allowed to vote without an ID.<\/p>\n

Because you can show up at any polling place and not be registered and not have an ID and they will let you vote on a provisional ballot. Sorry to be repetitive here, but I want people to understand. The provisional ballots are the last to be examined because they are cast by people who haven\u2019t been able to prove that they are eligible voters. Then we have people like Gillum and others, “Count every vote! Count every…” And the provisional ballots, isn\u2019t it interesting how they always end up being a major factor.<\/p>\n

In reality, people without any ID or voter registration are always given provisional ballots — and they count unless somebody is on the ground to challenge them, which very rarely happens. Now, the teacher, “Sorey said she also reportedly contacted her friend, state Rep. Shevrin Jones,” Democrat. She just happened to have a friend. You know what this reminds me of? Way back in Florida an elderly grand-couple were driving around the state of Florida — and you know what?<\/p>\n

\"\"They just happened to have a radio in their Cadillac, and they just happened to have a radio in their Cadillac that could overhear cell phone calls. And the elderly grand-couple overheard a strategy call between John Boehner and Newt Gingrich, and they thought that they were listening in on a moment of history. So they recorded it — \u2019cause every Cadillac, you know, has a radio that can pick up cell phone calls, and then has a recorder in the car to record the calls.<\/p>\n

Well, they recorded the call and they sent the call to the New York Times. Well, all of that is illegal. You\u2019re not allowed to just record people\u2019s phone conversations without their permission. Everybody knows that. But the New York Times didn\u2019t care, and they published the call. They published a transcript of the call, and they literally tried to tell us that a grandparent couple were driving… It was around Christmastime, and they were driving around.<\/p>\n

I think it was Interstate 75 in Florida within and they just a happened to hear this call and said, “Whoa, we\u2019re listening to history here, Mabel!” (sigh) I just… Now we have the teacher, Lakeisha “Sorey said she also reportedly contacted her friend, state Rep. Shevrin Jones (D), who the newspaper noted was a close confidant of,” dadalut, dadalut, dadalut — wait for it! — Andrew Gillum! So “Sorey said she also reportedly contacted her friend, state Rep. Shevrin Jones (D), who the newspaper noted was a close confidant of Tallahassee Mayor and Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum (D), seeking help about the discovery.”<\/p>\n

I think this is probably how the phone call went: “How many votes does Gillum says he needs? how many how many? In any case, these newly found votes should be discarded, folks. For starters, they were found past the 40-hour deadline for reporting votes. They were found in a schoolroom, and that 40-hour deadline is to prevent exactly this the kind of thing. It\u2019s jJust like the evidence that falls out of the chain of custody cannot be used.<\/p>\n

Votes that fall out of the chain of custody should not be count. But they are the exact kind of votes that end up being counted, found ballots like in the trunk of Al Franken\u2019s car. And who knows what the hell has gone on out in Arizona. “Voter Fraud Allegedly Frowned in Deep Blue Florida Counties” is the next story. “Over 100 provisional ballots were rejected in Miami-Dade County on Thursday after election officials said that those people showed up to vote a second time in the same election, according to a local media reporter. …<\/p>\n

“‘Stream of aggressive red stamping at Miami-Dade canvassing board as panel rejects provisional ballots from 108 people who showed up to vote a second time in the same election,\u2019 [a] Miami Herald reporter … said.” So the people that cast provisional ballots, at least 108 of them in Miami-Dade were found to have already voted and were trying to vote multiple times — and I guarantee you that Marc Elias and the Democrat are down here to make sure that every damn one of those fake votes is counted.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I also to want play for you sound bites from a guy — I mentioned this in the first hour — a Democrat consultant who thinks winning the House is okay, but it\u2019s not ball game. It\u2019s not where things really are. And he thinks the Democrats are still on the wrong track, despite all this. I just want to share that with you.<\/p>\n

But just to wrap up what\u2019s happening in Florida and Arizona. I think Arizona\u2019s gone. I really hope I\u2019m wrong about this. I really hope I\u2019m wrong. But once the commie babe pulls ahead out there and then they tell us there are 500,000 ballots yet to be counted in Democrat areas of Phoenix, it doesn\u2019t look good. You never know. It\u2019s not over yet. Nothing official. And we got people on our side who say, “Hey, don\u2019t get all worried about it. This is standard operating procedure for Arizona. Over 60% of the votes are by mail. It takes a long time to count them.”<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019d be fine if counting the votes is what was happening in Arizona, but it\u2019s not. They\u2019re not counting votes in Florida, either. They\u2019re looking for them. And in fact I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if they\u2019re trying to find some blank ballots to still mark down here, call them provisional ballots.<\/p>\n

\"\"Anyway, “Rick Scott has ordered law enforcement to stop unethical liberals from stealing the election.” He says, “I am considering every single legal option available.” And he filed suit last night asking for an investigation into ongoing ballot counts that he accused of being a partisan attempt by unethical liberals to steal the state Senate election.<\/p>\n

His opponent was smiley face Bill Nelson. We\u2019ve got a cute little, harmless nickname, staples, wonder how he gets those cheekbones to stay permanently in that Joker kind of smile. We figure staples underneath the epidermis. But we\u2019ll never know \u2019cause that\u2019s the kind of secret that Nelson would never divulge.<\/p>\n

Now, “The National Republicans Senatorial Committee joined Scott on Thursday to file suit against both Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes and Palm Beach Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher. Scott alleges that the supervisors have violated federal and state laws by failing to provide information to officials.”<\/p>\n

Now, just to reiterate about Snipes. “A judge ruled in May of this year that Snipes had illegally destroyed votes during a 2016 election and Scott said at the time he would send experts to Broward for the upcoming elections, according to the Sun Sentinel.”<\/p>\n

Why is this woman still in office or on the job? Well, she is because she does a great job for the Democrats. Illegally destroyed votes? That\u2019s at the top of resume enhancement.<\/p>\n

Now, the issue is this business that all votes have to be reported by a certain time, usually 40 hours after the election. Anything after that is discounted for the very reasons you might come up with, like a teacher finding a box of ballots in a school classroom in Miramar.<\/p>\n

So transparency on the number of ballots cast in both counties is where all of this is focusing, Broward and Palm Beach County. “The election officers were required to provide an overall total by Wednesday morning in order for observers to know what the final number would be.” That becomes the baseline against which everybody works, the final number, the overall total, by Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

But as of this morning, two days later, that still hasn\u2019t been accomplished. In the meantime, not only did they not provide a total by law on Wednesday morning, tens of thousands of additional ballots have been added to the votes since election night. Scott is right that there is all kinds of fraud taking place and all kinds of rule violation ongoing. Tens of thousands of ballots have been added to the total, which has not been made official by law as it should have on Wednesday morning. And that is why Scott is suing.<\/p>\n
