RUSH: Julie in Rexburg, Idaho, you\u2019re next. Great to have you here. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Just letting you know everybody out here is praying for you and for this country. But for you too. Hey, I\u2019ve always been mad at the Democrats, but I am mad at our president. I am mad at our president. He knew this was happening. He tweeted about it. Those battleground states, they created laws to accept absentee ballots. This has been coming for a while.<\/p>\n

Why didn\u2019t he motivate his supporters and get them out into the polling locations and get them to make sure that they\u2019re able to watch the vote? Why didn\u2019t he do something about this? He saw it coming, he tweeted about it, and he did nothing. And now he\u2019s left us all sitting here hoping and praying that something will happen. And it just really makes me mad.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: You know, my friends, I have been waiting for this sentiment. I have thought that I would have heard this sentiment yesterday. And Julie, I\u2019m not surprised that you have this attitude because we\u2019ve all known that this was coming, and the president did too and warned about it. We\u2019ve all known it was coming. And yet what really has you upset — and it\u2019s totally understandable — is despite knowing it was coming, we end up on defense instead of on offense.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re asking, where was the offense before this happened? Where was the attempt to keep the polling places honest and straightforward, and where was any advance action to intimidate those who might want to think they can cheat and steel, why are we always reacting to things, especially to things that we know are gonna happen?<\/p>\n

CALLER: His supporters, we were on the offense. We protected our vote. We did the red wave. We voted in person. We went to all the rallies. We did what we were supposed to do. Why didn\u2019t he? And now we\u2019re left scrambling and looking like we\u2019re playing defense, looking like we\u2019re the ones trying to steal the election. Why didn\u2019t he have all these lawsuits in place to take away the 12-day absentee vote, you know, allowance —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I hear you. I hear you. I\u2019m glad you called too. I\u2019m out of time, however. Not running away from it. I have no choice. I gotta go.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I imagine a lot of you are bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz buzzing about our most recent caller, Julie in Rexburg, Idaho. She is very, very mad at the president. If you\u2019re just joining us, if you are a welfare recipient just getting out of bed and just now turning on the radio and having your afternoon coffee, her point was she doesn\u2019t think any of this is necessary. Well, it was going to happen.<\/p>\n

She says she is really frustrated with the president. She\u2019s frustrated with Trump, that everybody knew this was coming, that he tweeted about it. He tweeted they were gonna steal. He tweeted that they were gonna try to play games. And that\u2019s true. So her question was, why didn\u2019t he do anything about it in advance? Why not prepare people for it rather than just predict it?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s kind of interesting. It bounces off Mr. Snerdley\u2019s question to me, which was, do you think our side is madder today at the Democrats than they\u2019ve ever been? Even if they are, even if you are, if you\u2019re madder today at the Democrats than you\u2019ve ever been, what does that mean? How many of you have pitchforks in a closet you can go get and start marching down to a place they\u2019re counting votes and start throwing pitchforks at \u2019em? I don\u2019t think any of you have a pitchfork. I don\u2019t. Maybe some of you on the farm do, but I don\u2019t have a pitchfork.<\/p>\n

\"\"I don\u2019t know what I would do. I\u2019ve been mad at \u2019em for a long time, the degree to which sufficient that it\u2019s academic. But the point about the president and his team, they\u2019ve known about it, they predicted it. Why are we always on defense? You know, this is something that I know irritates people. It irritates me. We\u2019re always on defense.<\/p>\n

Look at this. The Democrats in this scenario knew exactly what they had to do. They knew that Trump was winning in these states. They had to stop it. They went out and did it. They had their lawyers, they had their army of people, they got ready to go. The Democrats run these states that are in question. It\u2019s what makes them so important. And I know that a number of you, I just know attitudinally, you\u2019re sick and tired of being on defense. Always reacting rather than being — what is the word? — proactive.<\/p>\n

All I can tell you is I understand. I mean, have no strategic answer for it. I think maybe something that could have been done was just harp on it a little bit more, but you gotta understand something. The more you harp on that, if you\u2019re Trump and if you start at every rally, if you start predicting and talking about Democrat cheating, pretty soon people are gonna say, “What are you so afraid of, where\u2019s your confidence?”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a very fine line. You can\u2019t go overboard in the complaint department or else it starts to sound like whining. And people say, “What are you complaining about?” So the answer to that is you just take action if you think something\u2019s gonna happen, take action to stop it. So we\u2019ll just have to watch it all play out.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something else out there that I think a lot of people are taking false satisfaction from. I think they\u2019re making a big mistake. It\u2019s right here in this headline: “Democrats Wasted at Least $293 Million Trying to Flip the Senate.”<\/a> And this is a story about all the money that was spent against Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. The Democrat there spent $109 million, 108.9, it\u2019s rounded up, $109 million.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In Kentucky, some Democrat named Amy McGrath spent $90 million trying to unseat Mitch McConnell. In Texas, the Democrat there lost to John Cornyn. She spent $24 million trying to unseat Cornyn. In Maine, Democrat Sara Gideon spent $69 and a half million dollars trying to unseat Susan Collins.<\/p>\n

Now, in all of these races, the Democrats were winning in double digits, according to the polls. According to the polls Susan Collins was toast. Lindsey Graham was toast. Remember? Mitch McConnell, Cocaine Mitch close to being toast. Didn\u2019t talk about Cornyn much. But that adds up to $293 million. So here\u2019s the story I got from Breitbart: “Democrats Wasted at Least $293 Million Trying to Flip the Senate.”<\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t waste it, I don\u2019t think. Yeah, they didn\u2019t win the seats, but they sure as hell sent a message. You remember how scared Lindsey Graham was? Lindsey Graham when he was guest on the Fox News Channel was practically begging people to donate to his campaign, giving out the phone number and the website. They were scared.<\/p>\n

A lot of these incumbents were, because the message was, we\u2019re gonna come after you with everything we\u2019ve got. We\u2019re gonna come after you with more money than you\u2019ve ever seen. Even if we lose we\u2019re gonna have more money after we lose than you have. We can outspend you any time we want, and we will do it, and we will bankrupt you.<\/p>\n

I think this money, $293 million on these four Senate seats, yeah, it\u2019s money that they don\u2019t have anymore, but who gets it? Well, the money was spent on TV advertising. The way this works, the commission on ad byes on television is 15 to 20%. So the people that ran the campaign say of Jaime Harrison in South Carolina or Amy McGrath in Kentucky, the consultants who ran, they get 20% of all the money they spent on advertising. That\u2019s a lot of money, folks. So that money stays in the Democrat Party, stays with Democrat consultants, stays with the consultants\u2019 companies.<\/p>\n

The advertising money went to where? It went to media networks and media broadcast stations. Where does the money stay? In the Democrat Party. It may switch hands, but it\u2019s still circulating within the Democrat Party, benefiting those who received it. It would have been an added bonus if all these candidates would have been defeated, but the message is, we\u2019re gonna get you. We\u2019re gonna come for you.<\/p>\n

And, you know, the Senate, the Democrats haven\u2019t given up trying to flip it. They\u2019re gonna try to take Thom Tillis\u2019 seat away. This count in North Carolina ostensibly for the presidential race, there\u2019s a Senate seat in there, Thom Tillis, don\u2019t think they\u2019re not gonna try to find some votes to unseat Thom Tillis and take his seat in the Senate. Chuck You Schumer engineering this. (interruption) No, I\u2019m not trying to be a harbinger of bad news. I\u2019m just telling you what they\u2019re up to.<\/p>\n

And you want to be mad at President Trump for knowing this was coming and not having a plan, not having a strategery to deal with it? I hear you. I understand it.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Andrew. Go to the phones and try to get as many people on as we can. Andrew\u2019s in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Great to have you, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Great to be on. Thank you very much for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>CALLER: I\u2019m currently in Michigan. If you go to the Michigan secretary of state voter information website and you look at the voter registration statistics, we have a registration count of 8,127,804 registered voters in Michigan, according to the state government. We barely have eight million citizens in Michigan over the age of 18. And the same thing goes for Wisconsin. They had 90% turnout when it\u2019s usually around 70%.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty obvious to anybody with a brain who\u2019s aware and paying attention that this whole thing\u2019s a sham. And to the earlier caller who was worried about President Trump not fighting back enough and so on and so forth? I would have to remind her that he\u2019s a counterpuncher and I think we\u2019re about to see the biggest counterpunch in our political lifetime.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh. So you\u2019ve got confidence that we\u2019re gonna see fireworks coming here yet?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I 100% think Trump remains in the White House, absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Interesting. Interesting. Well, I\u2019ve seen these numbers. And they\u2019re all over the place. The number of people who voted, say, in Wisconsin versus the number of registered voters, I mean, there\u2019s no way. There\u2019s so many more voters, millions more voters than there are people registered. It can\u2019t be legit.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. And I can tell you, I have friends who are lifetime liberal Democrat voters. They voted for Hillary four years ago, and they did not vote for Joe Biden this time. They were so disenchanted with his behavior. You know, everything they accuse Trump of, you got Joe Biden on video doing and so on and so forth.<\/p>\n

So, my personal experience as far as what I\u2019ve seen in all the statistics and the numbers and the obvious foul play that\u2019s going on, it just doesn\u2019t add up. And thankfully, Trump is the most relentless guy we\u2019ve ever seen in political history. So if anybody\u2019s gonna pull this off, it\u2019s gonna be him. So I\u2019m very, very excited.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And you\u2019re saying this based on his strength as a counterpuncher?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, a counterpuncher and just his overall relentlessness. He\u2019s no stranger to the courtroom, you know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Now, the caller that you\u2019re reacting to, I can tell you, she didn\u2019t… I ran out of time when her, sadly, but I don\u2019t think she shares your sentiment. I think that one of the reasons why she called was that she doesn\u2019t expect any more than what we\u2019re seeing — and that would be Pam Bondi, Rudy Giuliani, Corey Lewandowski, Sidney Powell running around making legal challenges<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I don\u2019t… I think that was her point. So obviously people are gonna hope that your take on this is accurate. But I do like your confidence boost, buddy. I do like it, \u2019cause people… I tell you, it is so easy to turn fatalistic on this. All you gotta do — and, by the way, they\u2019re shutting down Twitter and Facebook.<\/p>\n

Anybody trying to point out the cheating, anybody trying to point out how the Democrats are misbehaving, Twitter is just censoring. They\u2019re shutting them down. All kinds of people have been shut down here, and so where can people go to share information of the cheating and of the irregularities if Twitter and Facebook are gonna shut \u2019em down?<\/p>\n

Which is something that is happening. Anyway, Andrew, pessimism is easy. Everybody falls for it. I appreciate your optimism. I appreciate you calling in here and telling people we ain\u2019t seen anything yet. Trump is the big counterpuncher and you just wait. Thank you. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Melody, Poplar Bluff, Missouri, not far from where I grew up. How you doing, Melody?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m doing great, Rush. Mega dittos, Rusty Sharpe —<\/p>\n

RUSH: (chuckles)<\/p>\n

CALLER: — and I\u2019m praying for you, and God bless you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. Thank you very much. (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have a couple things. I did want to comment on the girl that said something about Trump, but my main question is, how did they calculate the House and Senate votes so quickly and not the presidency when they are on the same ballot? That has been puzzling to me.<\/p>\n

\"\"You know, immediately they called the House and Senate, but they couldn\u2019t do the presidency and it\u2019s all on the same ballot? I don\u2019t know. Just wanted to ask that. My other question — or comment — is I believe Trump didn\u2019t do anything, because he\u2019s letting the enemy expose themselves so that people can see how corrupt they are and then believe it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (sigh)<\/p>\n

CALLER: If he was to come out and say this, that, and the other thing, you know, people are gonna be, “Oh, he\u2019s, you know, sour grapes.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. Do you think Trump\u2019s eventually gonna do something about this, or you think he\u2019s just doing this so people can see how corrupt and a bunch of cheaters the Democrats are?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Both. I do think something\u2019s gonna happen along with his legal counsel. It may take time. But, yes — and also, to expose them.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it better happen fast, because the media\u2019s got everybody believing that if anybody in the media projects Biden the winner, then it\u2019s over, when that\u2019s not the case. But that\u2019s gonna happen, I think, today. You guys better be on the lookout. If you look at Fox, Fox has had it for over 24 hours now, Biden 264 and Trump 214. That 264 includes Arizona. Now, there\u2019s only one other network that has called Arizona.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know which one it is. (interruption) Yeah, AP. AP has called it. Like CNN\u2019s got 253 for Biden. Fox has it at 264. That means all Biden needs is for Fox News to call Nevada, and people are gonna think it\u2019s over \u2019cause that\u2019s six votes in Nevada. That\u2019s 270 electoral votes, and that\u2019s all you need. If Fox News projects Nevada, even before Nevada announces that they\u2019ve certified the winner, people are going to think that Biden\u2019s won it.<\/p>\n

Keep a sharp eye.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not predicting it, but it could happen.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Jim in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Great to have you, sir. I\u2019m glad that you were patient, held on as well. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, I am so pumped that I got through to you. Okay. Trump needs to continue his rallies. This way he can get past all the media and start advertising in any way he can to expose this corrupt media and what\u2019s happening now. Just like the brilliant way you told us a long time ago, using a football analogy, he is the only one on that football field going against all the NFL, all the college players, and everyone, and we are in his army; we are ready to join the field. And we want to contiue — I think he should continue these rallies to expose them and show it to all the media and use every advertisement, you know, outlet possible to expose this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, interesting. You remind me. I\u2019ve got a story here in the Stack, Jim, and it\u2019s from a relatively new website, at least new to me. It may have been out there longer than I\u2019ve aware of. It\u2019s called Revolver. And this website post of from yesterday. The headline: “The Steal Is On. What Republicans Must Do Next To Guarantee Victory.”<\/a> Now, let me go through some of the things this article says that need to happen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Every single ballot needs to be challenged in the Supreme Court, if necessary. Now, that\u2019s easy to say. You know, it\u2019s easy for people writing at a website, “Trump needs to do this and Trump needs to do that, and challenge every vote all the way up to the Supreme Court.” Okay, fine, we\u2019ll put it on the list.<\/p>\n

Hold rallies in contested states. This is your point. “In the days and weeks to come, Republicans cannot afford to sit on the sidelines. If they want the president to remain in office, they must rally in the streets as well, and vocally reject this coup attempt for what it is. President Trump should immediately announce daily rallies in contested, corrupt jurisdictions in Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and even Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina if necessary.”<\/p>\n

I need to ask you, what are those gonna accomplish, Jim? Seriously. I\u2019m not rejecting your idea. Just, what is a rally gonna do?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rally to us is — of course we know that he\u2019s been fighting for us for four years, but this helps us portray more of our love, that we\u2019re still behind him, to not stop, to keep going. And sends a signal to all the Republicans saying, hey, you better do this, too, not just Trump, you better do this continuing after him even when he\u2019s gone after hopefully another four years, that this is the blueprint of what you need to do. And we need to make sure that blueprint is stamped everywhere on every Republican that ever tries to join anything. And so this is the blueprint. And we want to be able to back him saying we love what you\u2019re doing, fighting for us, and we want to continue that, and we just need to keep going.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask you a question.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s say Trump decides to do a rally in Pennsylvania. And let\u2019s pretend that logistics are not a problem. Let\u2019s say that there\u2019s an airport in Philadelphia that will give Trump permission to fly in in Air Force One and do a rally with 35 or 40,000 people. Let\u2019s just assume that that can happen this afternoon or tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s assume that it\u2019s happening. Let\u2019s assume it\u2019s tomorrow. Let\u2019s say it\u2019s three in the afternoon, soon as this program\u2019s over, the rally is taking place. Trump is at the airport near Philadelphia, he\u2019s doing the rally, there\u2019s 35,000 people there. The Democrats that are counting votes in secret in Philadelphia are going to do what while that rally is taking place?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s a great question. I\u2019m hoping that on top of us going to the rallies that other people at those precincts are able to videotape and able to record something —<\/p>\n

RUSH: They can\u2019t get in. They\u2019re not being allowed in. And when they are allowed in they\u2019re being kept 50 feet away. Not even a telescope —<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: We need to report that process, showing up them —<\/p>\n

RUSH: It has been. It has been. That\u2019s how we know it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. And so that needs to be advertised — I mean, so we\u2019re hearing it. But in between all the commercials of you I\u2019m hearing ABC and everything saying that Trump is contesting, you know, not so fairly and all that, but we noticed, you know, so it\u2019s so frustrating that — how can we get this out there? We need information of how we can help him. So you\u2019re asking me, but then I don\u2019t know how to do this. I want to learn and be able to help them. And I\u2019m sure millions of —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me tell you what they\u2019re going to tell you. If you make a phone call, if you knew who to call — I\u2019m just giving you a hypothetical here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: If you knew who to call, if you knew that there was a central place to call and say, “Look. I represent tens of thousands of Trump supporters, and we want to do anything you tell us to do. We are ready to mobilize.” You know what they\u2019re gonna ask you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: What?<\/p>\n

RUSH: To send them money. They\u2019re gonna ask you for money to fund their recount effort or to fund the lawyers or whatever. That\u2019s what they\u2019re gonna ask you. They\u2019re not gonna ask you to do anything. They\u2019re gonna want your money. And then you\u2019re gonna say to yourself, well, what do you mean, my money? What are you gonna use my money for? They\u2019re gonna say we need to pay lawyers to mount these challenges. We need to pay people to go in and do the recounts. And then they\u2019re gonna tell you they need $25 million.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. That\u2019s aggravating.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And then you\u2019re gonna say, “All I wanted was a rally. I just wanted the president to go out, I want the president to rabble-rouse. I want the president to show he\u2019s not taking this. I want the president to do a rally and rally the troops and say that we\u2019re not giving up. What do you mean, I need to send you money?” And I\u2019m gonna tell you that\u2019s the way the political world works.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: That needs to change. We need to change that. Honestly. I mean, the reason why we\u2019re always playing defense is because we don\u2019t think that corrupt. That\u2019s not on the forefront of our minds. We\u2019re thinking, okay, how do we make this work and think of creative ways, but we don\u2019t think corruptly; so that\u2019s why we\u2019re always playing defense. But maybe we need to —<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, that\u2019s not it, either. This is not your fault. You\u2019re playing defense. You\u2019re a voter. You\u2019re a supporter. You are a citizen. You actively support the president and his agenda and his efforts and you will do whatever you can do to show that support. You are not — and don\u2019t misinterpret me here — it\u2019s not your responsibility to come up with a plan, a battle plan or an action plan to help fight this. That\u2019s not part of the deal. Your deal, you fulfill the obligation of your deal with your support, and you may even send money to campaigns, the president, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

But your support and your willingness to do whatever anybody would ask you to do, you have met your obligation. We don\u2019t have the responsibility to come up with a battle plan. There are other people that are supposedly experts in that that the president has access to. The president is the president of the United States. He\u2019s capable of hiring the best to do whatever he needs done. And if that is you, then fine. You can let him that know you\u2019re out there and you\u2019re hirable.<\/p>\n

But this kind of thing is — you go back to our caller from — was it Idaho? She was upset that the situation had come to this point. (interruption) Julie, yeah, Rexburg, Idaho. That the president had not taken any proactive action to prevent this situation from even starting. Anyway, Jim, I gotta go. I\u2019m glad you called. Appreciate it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Barbara in Sugar Land, Texas, one of my all-time favorite names of a town. Sugar Land, Texas. How are you doing, Barbara?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Wonderful, Rush! I\u2019ve never gotten to talk to you. I\u2019ve listened to you for 20 years, and we say our rosary — our family says their rosary — for you and Kathryn every single night.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you. Thank you. We appreciate that. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: We love you very much. You\u2019re still on my bucket list to meet. (giggles) I want to tell you it\u2019s a very sad day that Fort Bend County on Tuesday has almost gone blue now. We\u2019re the second biggest county in the country. We\u2019ve lost. Our entire Supreme Court\u2019s gone blue. The court of appeals, the district court. We lost three really good district court judges in Fort Bend County — and a lot of them, Rush, were almost within exactly the same amount of 20,000 votes. Everybody is livid here, livid about what\u2019s happened. There\u2019s no way these —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait. Are you talking here about Texas statewide? Is that what you\u2019re talking about?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s Texas across the board, yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yep.<\/p>\n

CALLER: If you want to take something all the way to the Texas Supreme Court, you\u2019re totally destroyed in Fort Bend \u2019cause all the way up, they took almost every single judgeship, took out every Republican judge.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I don\u2019t want to be an I-told-you-so, Barbara, but I have been warning people about Texas for over a year. I saw something — and it may be a little longer than that. I saw a county-by-county map of Texas, and you saw every county except one, I think… Every county on the Texas-Mexico border is purple. I said, “Holy, smokes! That\u2019s gotta be immigration, legal or illegal.”<\/p>\n

That state… I said, “Texas is going blue!” I couldn\u2019t believe this, and then we have the election on Tuesday, and it\u2019s nip and tuck, and where we used to win Texas by 30 points, we win it by four in this race and that race and we\u2019re out celebrating? If we lose Texas, we\u2019re never gonna win the presidency. We need those electoral votes. There\u2019s nowhere to go to replace them.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. Exactly. We may hold the House one more time, but we\u2019ll probably lose the House here \u2019cause it was very, very close this time. But it\u2019s just very devastating. I\u2019m just praying, you know, that Sekulow and all those others on that team —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I tell you what bothers me, Barbara. I tell you what. As the Democrats implement their agenda and end up doing great damage to one institution after another, it doesn\u2019t seem to harm them.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: I can\u2019t believe Joe Biden got the number of votes he did. I cannot believe if they have shut down seven cities and ruined seven cities and allowed all this destruction, the economic destruction to the businesses, people\u2019s lives. I don\u2019t know how people continue to win in these blue states when they do this.<\/p>\n

But they do, and I think it comes down to Republican brand marketing is so bad. So many people think Republicans don\u2019t care, they have no compassion, they only care about the rich. I mean, it\u2019s just bogus. None of that is true, and yet these are the cliches that way too many Americans believe.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we\u2019re just hanging in there and I believe Sekulow and all those will really help him get through — and don\u2019t give up on Trump. He\u2019s a fighter. I believe he\u2019s gonna prevail.<\/p>\n

RUSH: A lot of people I know are waiting for this big counterpunch from Trump and the Trump Organization, the people that think that this is gonna get answered. People are fed up. I hope they\u2019re right. I hope that there is a major, major Trump pushback on this. We\u2019ll have to see. I\u2019m telling you… Look, that number of 264 on the Fox News Channel that has been on?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been paranoid about that ever since they moved Arizona, because that\u2019s just six votes away from 270, and that\u2019s how many electoral votes are in Nevada, and they\u2019re just waiting on this. If Fox would end up being the network that ends up calling for Biden? (sigh) I don\u2019t know, folks. There needs to — and Trump\u2019s sitting with 214. We know he was gonna win more states. It\u2019s just so frustrating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
