RUSH: Here\u2019s an exclusive story. This is from Axios. It\u2019s a Millennial news site. “Bloomberg group warns Trump will appear to win big on election night.”<\/a> This is a — no, no, no. I\u2019ve not forgotten the caller\u2019s question. Not at all. I just want to deal with this stuff as it has come in.<\/p>\n

\"\"A top Democrat data firm which goes by the name of Hawkfish is warning that it is highly likely that Trump will appear to be way ahead on election night but could ultimately lose when all the votes are counted in the ensuing days and weeks. Now, what the hell is this? Why the heck would you even run such a story? Because this story dovetails with already established Democrat agendas. It\u2019s gonna be used to promote mail-in voting in addition to absentee. You know, you\u2019ve seen stories out there that, “We may not know on election night who\u2019s gonna win.”<\/p>\n

What do you bet we do? I see even people on the other side of the glass looking at me, “No, Rush, no, this is gonna be such a –” Folks, do you realize — I know you do — do you realize how we\u2019re being gaslighted by the American media every day? Do you know what gaslighting is? We\u2019re being lied to constantly by the hour, by the American Drive-By Media. If you\u2019re running around saying, gee, none of this makes any sense, or what the hell is going on? The things you\u2019re being told by the media are at complete odds with what you\u2019re actually seeing with your own eyes.<\/p>\n

How many of you are asking yourselves, “Am I crazy?” You\u2019re not crazy. You\u2019re being gaslighted. (clearing throat) Excuse me. Gotta take a sip of something. You\u2019re already — hang on just a second here. (loudly sipping) You gotta do that on the radio to let people know you actually did it otherwise you have dead air. Can\u2019t have dead air. That\u2019s not good. So if you say you\u2019re gonna drink something you gotta make sure people hear you drink it. It\u2019s not being rude. It\u2019s actually respect.<\/p>\n

Anyway, how many of you already believe that we\u2019re not gonna know the winner on election night? And you\u2019ve heard it for so long that now it\u2019s fait accompli. We\u2019re not gonna know who won on election night. Speaking of which, speaking of which, I saw it happen yesterday. I\u2019m watching cable news. And here comes a story about the Russians tampering in the 2020 election. And I about lost it. The Democrats — this was in panel discussions on various cable TV shows. The Democrats say that the Russians are already meddling in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

Now, I have what I think is a very sensible question. We have been told, we\u2019ve been lied to every day multiple times a day for the past four years that Trump colluded with Russia. You know the drill. That Trump meddled as the Russians were meddling in our election, and through all of it, there wasn\u2019t one thing we could do to stop it. Did you ever stop to realize that? We were apparently total prisoners.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not a thing we could do to stop it. The Russians were doing this, they were doing that, Trump was helping them. We all know all that was bogus. It was all lies. It was all made up. But here\u2019s the thing. The Democrat Party is now warning that it\u2019s getting ready to happen again. Are you serious? Has nobody done anything in the past four years to prevent this from happening again? If the Democrats and the media — I know, what\u2019s the difference.<\/p>\n

If the Democrats and the media all of a sudden want to get everybody alarmed, the Russians are already meddling again in the 2020 election, is it not logical to ask, hasn\u2019t anybody done anything to prevent it? Since we, quote, unquote, know what they did in the 2016 election, is it too much to ask that after four years has gone by that we maybe have taken steps to prevent them from succeeding this time? I know they didn\u2019t succeed the first time \u2019cause it didn\u2019t happen the first time. I\u2019m being rhetorical in the questions because these people are just bringing this up again out of nowhere as though there\u2019s nothing we can do to stop it, when it didn\u2019t happen in the first place.<\/p>\n

\"\"Russian meddling was nothing out of the ordinary. Trump did not participate. There was nothing illegal. Trump did not illegally win, all of this. They have done more to tarnish and harm the integrity of the American presidential election system than the Russians and the ChiComs combined could have done. Now they\u2019ve got everybody believing, we\u2019re not gonna know the winner on election night and who knows whatever other lies you are believing because we\u2019re being gaslighted.<\/p>\n

Everything you\u2019re told is pretty much a lie or an exaggeration, so much so that they can now start speculating. I think it was The Five on Fox where I saw this, and it may have been some other show. But they were talking about the fact that the Russians are already getting ready do it again, 2020, they\u2019re gonna meddle again.<\/p>\n

We haven\u2019t done anything to stop it. There\u2019s nothing we learned. I know, folks, don\u2019t misunderstand. I know all this is rhetorical \u2019cause it didn\u2019t happen in the first place. My point here is the Democrats need to be called out on this. They can\u2019t simply get away again with claiming the Russians are tampering in the election, they\u2019re doing this as a setup. They know they\u2019re gonna lose is what this is all about. They\u2019re pretty sure they\u2019re gonna lose, and so now they\u2019re setting it up that they were cheated again.<\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re gonna do that, it\u2019s a local thing to ask. You Democrats have had hearings, you\u2019ve had testimony, you\u2019ve supposedly gotten to the bottom of it. It was so bad you impeached Trump over it. What have you done to make sure it\u2019s not gonna happen? Bring the intelligence community wizards back in, say, “What have you done in the ensuing four years to make sure the Russians don\u2019t get away with it this time?” ‘Cause they\u2019re still trying to sell the Russians did get away with it.<\/p>\n

Now, this to me is a great example of how we\u2019re all being set up and how we\u2019re all being lied to. The American presidential election cannot be tampered with in the way that the Democrats want you to believe. They want you to believe that the Russians have access to voting machines and go in there and change totals willy-nilly, however they want, wherever they want. That\u2019s not possible. Obama himself has even pointed out how tampering with an American presidential election would be nigh onto impossible. Because you wouldn\u2019t know where to go. It\u2019s too complex.<\/p>\n
