RUSH: Folks, here\u2019s where we are with this. It is vital that our constitutional framework be protected. This recount, this canvassing, this investigation must occur. It must take place. The Founding Fathers of our country knew that there would always be intense political battles.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110920-Rush-Const.jpg\")
They knew that there would be bad actors. They knew there would be people trying to undermine what they had founded, what they had created. They knew it. They were not naive. They knew from the moment they founded the United States that it would be a threat to an entire group of people or many groups of people around the world.<\/p>\n
They created defense mechanisms and insurance policies as best they could, starting with creating three branches of government to ensure a government of law, not of men. You have heard the phrase, “a government of law, not of men.” There are checks and balances throughout our system.<\/p>\n
It is very important that there are clear, specific facts presented in a very scholarly and concise way as this investigation going forward that institutions, American institutions are revered, respected, and protected. What I mean here is it\u2019s great that we have anecdotal evidence, it\u2019s great that you can get a phone call from somebody, somebody who says they saw X-number of ballots being tampered with or they saw this or they saw that.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all well and good, but that\u2019s not gonna change anything. They all need to be investigated, and they all needed to be tracked down, do not misunderstand. But there needs to be very clear, specific facts presented in a scholarly and concise way. I have been urging people all weekend to name an Investigation Czar, a Vote-Count Czar, whatever you want to call it.<\/p>\n
This is a single person that the Trump administration sends out every day to update the people of this country on the latest of the investigation into every state, into every allegation of voter fraud in every state. You\u2019ve got your staff trackin\u2019 all this stuff down. You have your czar or your figurehead who leads the investigation, who takes in all the information.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s got a staff. They codify it each and every day, and they report to the American people in an honest, straightforward, factual way — and there will be plenty of information to report. There will be plenty of information to gather. There was plenty of fraud that took place. There\u2019s simply no way Joe Biden was legitimately elected president. I just can\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n
I do not believe it, intellectually — and as I look at what I have learned and what I have seen over the course of the past four or five days, there\u2019s simply no way. And I have an idea. I got an idea. Let\u2019s unify the country… See if this idea will float. Let\u2019s unify the country by conducting a massive investigation of vote fraud, and let\u2019s make Trump look like a fool, right?<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110620-Trump-Presser-1.jpg\")
That\u2019s what they want. So let\u2019s do this massive investigation, \u2019cause Trump says it\u2019s fraudulent here and fraudulent there — and everybody knows Trump\u2019s an idiot, and everybody knows Trump\u2019s a fool. So let\u2019s do this! Wouldn\u2019t the left want this? Wouldn\u2019t the left want there to be documentary evidence that Trump doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about?<\/p>\n
And the only way to get it is a full-fledged, serious, nonpartisan investigation into what happened. Are you with me on this, Democrats? Probably not — and if you\u2019re not, why not? Why wouldn\u2019t you want to join this? What are you afraid of being discovered, if you won this thing legitimately, and if there wasn\u2019t any chicanery?<\/p>\n
We got all the time in the world. Algore had 37 days to monkey around in one state. We\u2019ve got to get this right. Folks, the history and future of this country depends on us getting this right. If we do not get this election right, if we do not get the votes counted correctly, tabulated correctly, then we\u2019re gonna lose all integrity in elections.<\/p>\n
The Democrats have been attempting to do that with four years of being critical of Trump being an illegitimate winner in 2016 by saying he tampered with the Russians, colluded with the Russians, meddled with the Russians, when the Russians didn\u2019t do anything. There wasn\u2019t any meddling or collusion.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve already damaged the integrity of our elections way too much, and they predicted the Russians were gonna be involved in this election until they say Biden is the winner. Now we can\u2019t even find the Russians being anywhere near involved. This is about the future integrity of elections. We cannot have a country where 70 million voters don\u2019t trust the outcome, and that\u2019s where we are right now today.<\/p>\n
Now, I submit to you the left doesn\u2019t care. All they want is the win and everything that goes along with it. They don\u2019t care about the integrity of elections. They don\u2019t care about your opinion. They don\u2019t care about having to persuade you to agree with them or any of that. They don\u2019t care. They just want you rendered irrelevant — and if they have to go so far as to not count your votes, that\u2019s exactly what they will do.<\/p>\n
The rule of law, the Constitution, efficacy have to dominate using a targeted approach here in how we track down the fraud and how we present it to the American people. If presented in the right way, this can be a very effective, laser-focused message. It can help in the primary objective, which is to protect the integrity and the honesty of the American presidential electoral system — and this must happen.<\/p>\n
We can\u2019t go forward as we are right now with so many people distrusting it.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, we must put our energy and faith into the founding principles and ideals of this country. That is what is going to get us through this. The founding documents of this country, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, it\u2019s all there. If those documents, particularly the Constitution, if they are adhered to, because the Constitution is the rule of law, if that is adhered to, we will get to the bottom of what happened. And that\u2019s where our energy and that\u2019s where our faith must be.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110620-Vote-Count-2020-4.jpg\")
It\u2019s actually a teachable moment. It\u2019s a golden opportunity to teach relevant aspects of our founding documents that have not been properly taught. And I don\u2019t mean we need to get into the weeds on things. We don\u2019t need to make it complicated. But there is a way to do this. And that\u2019s all I\u2019m focusing on. And I don\u2019t want anybody to be mad at me or misunderstand.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not saying that the individual anecdotal stories of fraud here and fraud there are not valuable. I\u2019m not saying that they aren\u2019t worth it. But we don\u2019t build the case with scattershot examples. We take all those examples and we put them into the central clearinghouse run by what I hope will be the Election Czar. The Election Czar will have a staff. He will take all this — this is my dream, this is my hope — take all of that in, along with the official investigations the Trump administration has mounted, along with all the assistance of the United States Supreme Court, like Justice Alito.<\/p>\n
If Alito prevails in Pennsylvania, do you realize Pennsylvania could flip to Trump? If the ballots that were submitted after November 3rd are rendered irrelevant and are said not to count because they violate the law? This is big. But we need to go about this in the strict constitutional, legal fashion with no politics attached.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Haven\u2019t we been told for four straight years, ladies and gentlemen, nothing is more important than safeguarding our elections? Isn\u2019t that what everything the Democrats did the last four years was based on? First the phony Russian coup, which was designed to get rid of Trump because he stole the election? Of course we know it\u2019s all BS. Not a single fact in it.<\/p>\n
But look at what they said. The integrity of our elections is paramount. Then they do the impeachment. And that\u2019s based on Trump making a phone call that somehow violated the integrity of the presidency and so forth and so on because it was investigating the family of his potential presidential opponent, Joe Biden. They said we must safeguard our elections. Now they\u2019re not interested in it. Now they not interested in getting to the bottom of what happened. They want the perception that this thing was stolen to take hold. They don\u2019t want you to think that. They are happy with the outcome to the point that if 70 million Americans think the election is not aboveboard, that\u2019s okay with them. They don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n
Now, let me show you what I\u2019m talking about when I talk about a czar or a central figure operating a clearinghouse, dispensing information to people every day. This happened, by the way, during the Gore-Bush recount. And there were two people, maybe three. James A. Baker III was George W. Bush\u2019s lead guy, and he had a spokeswoman by the name of Margaret Tutwiler, and Mary Matalin was occasionally involved in that effort as well. But it was just those three. That\u2019s where you went to get the latest on the hanging chad controversy from the George W. Bush team side.<\/p>\n And last night on Life, Liberty, and Levin on the Fox News Channel, Levin spoke with Ken Starr about the Constitution. And when I talk about a czar, I\u2019m not suggesting it should be Starr, although he might be good in this role, because you need somebody serious, you need somebody scholarly, and you need somebody who is unattackable, unassailable on a partisan basis. Clearly that is not Ken Starr.<\/p>\n But listen to what he says and how he says it. It\u2019s right up the ally I think we all need to be going in terms of dealing with getting this fraud discovered, exposed, and overturned. So the first question from Levin. “Article II, Section 1, clause two of the Constitution provides as follows: Each state shall appoint in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct a number of electors equal to the whole number of senators and representatives to which the state may be entitled in Congress. So, in other words, state legislatures determine how to select their electors. Isn\u2019t that what that means?”<\/p>\n STARR: What happened in Pennsylvania over these recent weeks is a constitutional travesty. Governor Wolf tries to get his reforms, his vision, as he was entitled to do, through the legislature, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He failed. He then goes to the state Supreme Court, which by a divided vote, accepted the substance of what Governor Wolf was doing and added their own nooks and crannies as well. Happily, in recent days, we\u2019ve seen Justice Samuel Alito step in — as a single justice he has the power to do it — and essentially, in a very short order, say the legislature is the boss. What the governor did — this is my interpretation — is utterly unconstitutional. What the Pennsylvania Supreme Court did is utterly unconstitutional.<\/p>\n “On Friday evening, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., who received the petition because he is the justice responsible for that region, approved the GOP request for now, ordering county boards to comply with state guidance to keep the late ballots separate,” because they might end up being thrown out as illegal.<\/p>\n However, “Even if the high court were to ultimately side with the Republicans, the impact,” it says here, “would likely be muted: Pennsylvania officials said they are already setting aside the small number of mail ballots that have arrived since Tuesday.”<\/p>\n No, they weren\u2019t. That\u2019s why Alito jumped in there. They were not setting aside a small number, a large number, any number. It\u2019s why Alito had to issue the order twice. By the way, that small number is somehow large enough to wipe out Trump\u2019s 700,000 vote lead? This is not a small number. We go to bed, those of us who did, on election night. Trump\u2019s up 700,000 votes. In the 2016 election, throughout the night Trump\u2019s vote totals kept being added to. They kept finding more votes.<\/p>\n Lo and behold, Trump has a 700,000 vote lead in Pennsylvania, and they stop counting in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, the two largest Democrat sections of the state, they stop counting no doubt to find out how many votes they\u2019re gonna need and then overnight while most normal people are asleep the magic happens and the 700,000 vote majority starts to vanish, 700,000 vote lead. And it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n And nobody saw how it happened. So there will be an investigation into this. The Trump team has vowed they are going to investigate this. Let me give you another example of Ken Starr, who was on with Levin last night, Life, Liberty, Levin, the Fox News Channel. Question: “We keep hearing ‘count every vote.\u2019 Isn\u2019t that the issue precisely, Judge Starr? Which votes do we count?”<\/p>\n STARR: Exactly right. In fact, to count every vote may be a crime. It may even be a crime under federal law. It\u2019s definitely a crime under state law. If that is said, here\u2019s the keyword, illegal. And that\u2019s why you see. And it\u2019s shameful that vice president Biden\u2019s people and the vice president himself are saying count every vote and selling a lot of T-shirts. That is a potential and an invitation for absolute lawlessness.<\/p>\n RUSH: Again, this is the kind of information that needs to be imparted officially from the Trump administration via the recount or the investigation or the Election Czar, whatever the title is. Exactly right. In fact, to count every vote maybe a crime. Because some of these votes are illegal, folks. Some of the votes are illegal. They\u2019re illegally placed, they\u2019re illegally tabulated, they\u2019re illegally made, some of these ballots were filled out after the fact. You\u2019ve heard the anecdotal stories. Finally our last comment — I just wanted you to hear this, as though this is an official Election Czar giving you a report on the day\u2019s activities, the results of the ongoing investigation that they are conducting.<\/p>\n RUSH: Well, you might think, well, how do we know that? Well, we don\u2019t know that, but there are assumptions that if Justice Alito is going to rule as he did, he\u2019s gotta be somewhat confident that there is a majority of support in the court for it. Those are just factors that are taken into account by judges as they rule on matters like this where further requests or participation for full membership of the court may be sought.<\/p>\n Bottom line is that Judge Starr here is convinced that illegality occurred in Pennsylvania with 700,000 votes, wants to get to the bottom of it for the sake of the integrity of our electoral system. At the end of all this, regardless who wins, folks, that has to be what happens here. We cannot go forward with the presidential election system being doubted by the losing side every time. I mean, there are gonna be people who doubt it, but we can\u2019t have what we have now. We\u2019ve lost all the integrity.<\/p>\n And the thing is the left doesn\u2019t care. It doesn\u2019t matter to them. They\u2019ve demonstrated this throughout this entire process. They don\u2019t care. Well, somebody has to care. Somebody has to care for the future of the country, the future of the Constitution, the future of the rule of law, the future of the integrity of the rule of law, the Constitution and our election system. And that\u2019s what this attempt to get to the truth is.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: I\u2019m gonna get to the phones here in just a second. I need to make one observation. I don\u2019t want anybody misunderstand me and think that I\u2019m being critical of the anecdotal evidence. I\u2019m not. Let me try to explain this. The lawyers… If there ever is a czar, for example — if my idea were ever adopted and there is a czar — I know that the lawyers working for the czar and the czar are gonna need individual examples of fraud.<\/p>\n They\u2019re gonna need the anecdotal stories, but that\u2019s not what you report. That\u2019s what they assemble. You have to add things up to have a trend. You need patterns, and the individual examples are how you do it. But that\u2019s… I\u2019m just saying, “You don\u2019t go out and make the case on the individual examples.” Like you don\u2019t make the case by saying, “I heard somebody call Rush Limbaugh who said X-number of ballots were dipped into cod liver oil and that has some super-secret watermark on it.”<\/p>\n That\u2019s not how we do this. You tell the czar that; let the czar run it through the sifter, and see if it passes the smell test. They do all that. I know lawyers are not gonna be handed a smoking gun of a hundred thousand phony ballots. That isn\u2019t how it happens, and this is also key in state like Pennsylvania. They\u2019ve institutionalized the fraud and then legalized it. Like, no signatures required on mail-in ballots?<\/p>\n Who decided no signatures required? Who decided no postal dates on mail-in ballots? So you gotta a bunch of people saying, “Well, you need tons of fraud to prove it before you can move the needle.” It\u2019s more complicated than that. It is a massive job, folks, to do this. That\u2019s why you need committed people.<\/p>\n It is a massive thing to unwind what the Democrats have done here. It has to happen, though. This has wrecked the institutions that we all depend on for integrity and honesty throughout our government, throughout the electoral system.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Marty in St. Augustine, Florida. I\u2019m glad you called. Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program. Great, great, great to have you here. Hi.<\/p>\n CALLER: Hey, Rush. Thanks so much for taking my call. My husband brought me to Rush, so to speak, 30 years ago and I\u2019ve been listening ever since, and we just want you to know, we\u2019re really thankful for you and that you\u2019ve been able to continue to do your show and we\u2019re praying for you.<\/p>\n RUSH: Appreciate that. Thank you very much. Me too.<\/p>\n CALLER: Yeah, thanks. I just have two quick points. I love the idea about the Election Czar. We happened to see Sidney Powell yesterday on Fox Business, Maria Bartiromo\u2019s show<\/a>. And she laid out some really detailed information about where investigation is going —<\/p>\n CALLER: Yes. And one thing that we had not heard about that surprised us discussed was about this software company, apparently some of the software used in tabulating the votes —<\/p>\n RUSH: It\u2019s out there. This is all in the hopper. This is exactly the kind of stuff — I\u2019ve seen it, I know it\u2019s out there. This is the kind of stuff that needs to be collected, investigated, looked at, and reported on. And we need to get to the bottom of it so that it doesn\u2019t remain just anecdotal. “Hey, did you hear about this software company?” We need to find out the truth about it. We need somebody look at it and find out if there\u2019s something there.<\/p>\n CALLER: Exactly. I was impressed with Sidney Powell. I like her anyway, and I didn\u2019t know whether you would think she would be a possible candidate for the czar position if it goes that way. That was one point. The other thing, we also saw Mark Levin last night, and he mentioned that we have a Supreme Court for a reason. You know, as an average voter, you just feel frustrated, kind of gnashing your teeth, what can we do? But he mentioned that the Supreme Court\u2019s gotta step up and enforce these election laws and we\u2019re just praying that that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen.<\/p>\n RUSH: Somebody\u2019s gotta take the case to \u2019em, and then they can. They have to want to hear the case. And that\u2019s what I think he\u2019s saying. They gotta want to hear the case. Because the case will be taken to them. And, you know, John Roberts could have shut it down before Amy Coney Barrett when the court was 4-4. Now it\u2019s not 4-4. It\u2019s 5-4. The odds are greater, I would think.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: This is Matt in Lincoln, Nebraska. Great to have you, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n CALLER: Hey, Rush. Very long-time listener here. I just wanted to comment on the psych ops that was ran by the media. One thing I noticed was the coordination before the election. Days before, every media organization was saying, “Hey, you\u2019re gonna think on election night that Donald Trump has won. You\u2019re gonna think this. But you\u2019ve gotta wait \u2019til the votes come in over the next few days, and then you\u2019re gonna see who the clear winner is.” What was interesting about that is they emphasized the fact this isn\u2019t fraud; this is just how this election is.<\/p>\n RUSH: What do you mean, it isn\u2019t fraud; it is just how it is?<\/p>\n CALLER: That\u2019s what the media was saying. “Don\u2019t think this is fraud.” They kept saying day to day before the election, “Don\u2019t think that this is fraud when the votes come in after Election Day,” when you thought —<\/p>\n RUSH: Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.<\/p>\n CALLER: “This is just how this election is this time,” and that was kind of the psych ops of all the media was trying to condition everybody, “You\u2019re gonna think Donald Trump\u2019s gonna win. But what you\u2019re really gonna see is that Biden\u2019s gonna win big later. You just have to have patience and don\u2019t let anybody tell you it\u2019s fraud because it really isn\u2019t.”<\/p>\n CALLER: Even though it was.<\/p>\n RUSH: Right. So your point is that they ran a psycho-ops operation on everybody, telling them what was gonna happen, and then it happened?<\/p>\n CALLER: And then it happened, and they conditioned people to let \u2019em know, “This isn\u2019t fraud. This isn\u2019t fraud. This is just how this election is because of these times we\u2019re living in. Blame it on 2020.”<\/p>\n RUSH: The year 2020. Right. Whatever. Well, they can do that. (chuckling) I don\u2019t care. You know, I couldn\u2019t care less what they say it was. I couldn\u2019t care less if they ran a psyops operation on us. All I care about is uprooting what happened. That\u2019s all I want to do! We\u2019ve got to find out what happened. Because we all believe Donald Trump won this election.<\/p>\n We all believe that he won it handily. We all believe common sense says that there is no way a candidate who did not even have a bond with his voters, a candidate who is a nonentity, a candidate who is an empty vessel — a candidate who was simply a faceless, nameless guy who\u2019s never won an election on his own other than the Senate — is gonna get more votes than anybody else in history…<\/p>\n We don\u2019t believe it. But the guy drawing 55,000 people at rallies, 37,000 people…? The guy that\u2019s in a basement may be drawing 20 people in their cars to honk horns — and then there\u2019s the other evidence that we had, the other (sigh) the common-sense evidence. So, you know, whether they ran their little operation here to tell us that no matter what it looks like on election night, Biden\u2019s gonna win, we need to get to the bottom of it, for all of the reasons that I have stated today.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t want to have to repeat everything in every phone call I get here. But this is about preserving the Constitution. It\u2019s about preserving the institutions and traditions that define in the United States of America from every other country on earth. It\u2019s about making sure we do not descend to banana republic status. We are damn close. There was no reason on earth for early voting and mail-in voting to have not been counted by election night, for example.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no earthly reason that we have to wait \u2019til Friday to count mail-in ballots. There\u2019s no… The mail-in ballots, anyway, was the beginning of the end of all of this. They scare the hell out of everybody with COVID. They get everybody convinced you can\u2019t go to your polling place and vote without dying or running the risk of dying.<\/p>\n So we come in with mail-in bolts, and then we end up — some of us end up — criticizing mail-in ballots, and that ends up being a negative because a lot of people liked the option of mail-in ballots but they didn\u2019t have to show any ID, they have to show a signature, the signatures didn\u2019t have to match, they didn\u2019t have to be in by Election Day. We\u2019re saying, “What the hell?”<\/p>\n And then criticizing mail-in ballots, some people said, “Well, we like mail-in ballots. So screw you!” So I was told, “Every time you criticize mail-in ballots, you\u2019re just sending more people to use them.” I said, “Well, that\u2019s not good.” This is not… But that\u2019s where all this happened, when you don\u2019t have to have any ID! No, I\u2019m not criticizing absentee.<\/p>\n Oh, that\u2019s right, because they didn\u2019t have to arrive by Election Day. Why was that the case? “Well, because not everybody can count on the postal service to do it right, and so we have to give some leeway. So we said, ‘As long as the ballots are in by Friday in one place or Saturday in another place, then we\u2019ll go ahead and count it.'” You think that isn\u2019t a recipe for the disaster that we\u2019re in the middle of here?<\/p>\n Mail-in ballots! Why do you think mail-in ballots were not part of the original set up? It\u2019s just too great an opportunity for fraud. So this has to be run down, tracking down. It has to be discovered what happened. In a lot of states, a few states, they were able to count the mail-in ballots by election night. They did it in Florida. They did it in Texas. They did it in whole bunch of well-run Republican states.<\/p>\n Why can\u2019t they do this in Pennsylvania? Why couldn\u2019t they do it in Wisconsin? Why couldn\u2019t they do it in Michigan? Why were we waiting until Saturday — it was ridiculous — for the mail-in ballots to be counted? We all know why. They were determining how many they needed. Democrats purposely were holding back counting the early voting and the mail-in votes in order to know how much they would need to find in order to win.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no other explanation for this. But I can say that all day long, and it doesn\u2019t make it true. That\u2019s why we need a czar. That\u2019s why we need somebody to officially run down every aspect of this.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Sidney Powell. You know when I floated my idea earlier today that we need a czar running things, let me see if I can explain that again a little bit better. It\u2019s not that difficult a concept, but I\u2019m thinking… Think Mueller investigation only legit. Think Mueller except somebody that knows what they\u2019re doing, not just a figurehead that\u2019s checked out and, like Biden, doesn\u2019t know where he is half the time.<\/p>\n A legitimate constitutional scholar, legitimate constitutional lawyer, somebody who has been practicing, somebody from a highly reputable firm, somebody with impeccable credentials to lead this investigation of the 2020 presidential election. There are countless examples of questionable ballots, questionable people voting dead or alive.<\/p>\n There\u2019s all kinds of information out there that needs to be chased down. So this person would not only head the effort and be the figurehead, but would be actively involved. Not somebody who just gets a report every day and then reads the report somebody else wrote. This would be somebody actively involved. Somebody cogent, somebody coherent, somebody who could lead the effort and then hires a staff.<\/p>\n They\u2019d have to start with all of the stories, all of the anecdotal stories and the anecdotal evidence. And let me define… I keep assuming everybody knows what this is. We always discount anecdotal evidence. I know you hear us discount it — you hear me discount it. Anecdotal, of course, the root word is “anecdote,” people telling a story.<\/p>\n So you have somebody that nobody knows who saw something screwy going on with a ballot, say, in Pennsylvania. And they either tweet it or they call a talk show, “Hey, I saw this in the…” Okay. That\u2019s anecdotal bid of evidence which means it isn\u2019t evidence. It\u2019s somebody telling a story — and it could be true; it could be made up. You don\u2019t know if you don\u2019t know the person telling the story.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s why, for me, as a talk radio host, I don\u2019t like taking those calls because you can\u2019t confirm them. I don\u2019t want to put misinformation on the air, and anybody can call here and say anything. It\u2019s impossible to track it down. I don\u2019t want to do a talk show where the reaction is, “Boy, did you hear that called who said…?” If it\u2019s not true, then it\u2019s harmful to me. It\u2019s not that it doesn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s harmful if it isn\u2019t true.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t want to mislead anybody. So I\u2019m not into… In terms of what I do as the leading talk show host in the world, I\u2019m not interested in anecdotal anything except for its value, and its value doesn\u2019t exist to me here. Now, there is value in this evidence as told to an Elections Czar, because that\u2019s all they\u2019re gonna have work with. They\u2019ve got to track it down.<\/p>\n They\u2019ve got to separate the wheat from the chaff, and there\u2019s gonna be a lot of lying. There\u2019s gonna be a lot of people telling a lot of things that aren\u2019t true. There\u2019s already massive lies out there being made by people who are believed by certain people in our country. There\u2019s this big story that Trump ran a sting. Have you heard this one?<\/p>\n “Trump ran a brilliant sting operation waiting to unveil it that every ballot in certain states has a secret watermark on it.” Have you heard that one? (interruption) Well, “stupidity”? Do you know how many people believed it? Well, this is why this stuff is dangerous. You get people calling a talk show telling stuff like this, and if the host is not informed and hadn\u2019t heard of this, the host would go, “Wow, man! That is cool,” and you\u2019re off and running with a bunch of BS.<\/p>\n So the investigator, the czar, would have to wade through all of that and find out which of it is BS and which of it is legit — and believe me, there\u2019s gonna be a lot of BS, because everybody wants to get noticed and everybody wants to say they mattered, and everybody wants to say they had a role in it. Or there are gonna be people on the left who are gonna want to embarrass us.<\/p>\n They are gonna want us to accept and believe some really stupid stuff so that we look like a bunch of conspiracy theorists. This is why whoever does this has got to be brilliant, has to be patient, has to have an army or a team that can track this stuff down and not say anything about it to the American people until they have run it down. And everything has to be looked at in terms of constitutionality, because that\u2019s what\u2019s at stake here, folks, in all of this.<\/p>\n Yeah, we want to save the election for D.J. Trump. Yep. We want this to get done right. We want Trump to get what he earned: The presidency and a second term. But more importantly, the integrity of the process must be maintained in the eyes of as many millions of Americans as possible. The integrity of the electoral system must be established.<\/p>\n If it isn\u2019t, nobody\u2019s gonna believe it ever again — and you want to talk about turnout? You want to talk about…? The moment people start thinking that their vote really doesn\u2019t matter, then they\u2019re gonna see people abandon elections like you\u2019ve never seen it before. It\u2019s just too important here that the integrity, that the Constitution, that the rule of law, that all of this be affirmed.<\/p>\n And for that to happen this election must be investigated. Every lead must be tracked down. Every reported problem should be investigated, as long as it takes. There shouldn\u2019t be a time limit. It should not be a hurry. I mean, a reasonable time, yeah. But we shouldn\u2019t have to get this done by the end of next week, for example.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no reason for that. The next president\u2019s not inaugurated \u2019til next January. The next Congress is not seated \u2019til next January. We\u2019re gonna have runoff elections in January, the two Senate seats in Georgia. There doesn\u2019t need to be a hurry. Algore got 37 days to try to overturn things in one state — three counties, basically, of one state.<\/p>\n Now, I maintain that if there was no fraud, the Democrats would invite Republicans to examine every aspect of the process and be done with it. But the Democrats say, “We\u2019re not gonna do that. They\u2019re gonna come in here and plant evidence.” No. We\u2019re not gonna plant evidence. But I can see them saying that. But I still believe if there was no fraud the Democrats would be a little bit more solicitous towards us looking at the process.<\/p>\n I would think they would want us to look like fools. I would think they would want us to look like kooks. What better way to let us see their legitimate process? What better way? If there is massive fraud, there will be a campaign to call the election — opps. Sorry. That\u2019s what\u2019s happening now.<\/p>\n Let me tell you, 450,000 ballots that only vote for Joe Biden? That\u2019s not suspicious. That is fraud. How can that be? I\u2019ll tell you how it can be. They only cared about the presidential race. They only filled out ballots with Biden\u2019s name \u2019cause that\u2019s all that mattered.<\/p>\n “Powell is the attorney for Michael Flynn and has been vocal about the need to challenge the results of the General Election, which she contends is rife with evidence of a ‘massive and coordinated effort to steal this election,\u2019 by efforts to ‘delegitimize and destroy votes for Donald Trump, to manufacture votes for Joe Biden.'”<\/p>\n She says, “They have done it in every way imaginable, from having dead people vote in massive numbers, to absolutely fraudulently creating ballots that exist only voting for Biden. We\u2019ve identified at least 450,000 ballots in the key states that miraculously only have a mark for Joe Biden.”<\/p>\n She said this on the TV show of Maria Bartiromo. Sidney Powell pointed to Florida. Things were done right. They counted all the ballots on election night, including these precious mail-in ballots the way the rest of the country should have. She “maintains that malicious actors ‘used an algorithm to calculate the votes they would need to flip, and they used computers to flip those votes from… Trump to Biden, and from other candidates to their competitors also. It wasn\u2019t just president Trump, there were many people affected by this,\u2019 said Powell. ‘We have got to fight tooth and nail in federal court to expose this abject fraud and the conspiracy behind it, and get a recount and audits in every place its\u2019 needed, which is frankly most of the country.'”<\/p>\n Folks, that is a stunning number of ballots, 450,000 miraculous only have one name on them? Here\u2019s some other statistics from Miranda Devine at the New York Post<\/a>. There are five swing states that are within 1%, and every damn one of them has Joe Biden in the lead. “In Georgia, Biden was ahead last night by just 10,352 votes.”<\/p>\n Look, folks, it is entirely possible that all of this may not amount to much of anything at all. But it has to be investigated. It has to be examined because there are 71 million people who voted for Trump who are going to think the election was stolen. And I think they\u2019re right, but you can\u2019t have that many people, 71 million thinking the presidential election system in America is so tainted that it can be stolen from somebody who got 71 million votes?<\/p>\n You can say good-bye to people participating in the process, which the Democrats would absolutely love. Trump said himself over the weekend this is no longer about any single election. This is about the integrity of our entire election process. And that is bingo. That is right on the money.<\/p>\n Whatever comes of the allegations, nothing is more important than these two Georgia U.S. Senate runoffs. That\u2019s control of the Senate right there. And does anybody think the Democrats in Georgia are gonna let these Senate seats go to the Republicans? If that\u2019s the attitude that we have, then what does it say about our perception of the system already?<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Ready? “Our safety, our liberty depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate.” For those of you in Rio Linda, it means we can\u2019t violate it. It means we cannot abandon it. (It has nothing to do with it being purple.) We cannot abandon it.<\/p>\n “The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” You know who said that? Abraham Lincoln — and all he did was preserve the Union by believing the Constitution was inviolate. “Our safety, our liberty depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers,” this is the Founding Fathers, “made it inviolate.<\/p>\n Now, it\u2019s gonna take time, folks. Tracking down all of these reports — the anecdotal evidence, if you will. Tracking it all down and then getting sworn declarations. You can\u2019t just say, “Hey, I got this guy over here who said…” This guy\u2019s gotta swear to it. All of these people with their anecdotal stories and evidence that they tweet, or they email or whatever?<\/p>\n You\u2019ve gotta get to \u2019em, and they have to swear that it\u2019s true. They have to sign declarations and affidavits. They have to subject themselves to perjury charges. That takes time. It requires interviews. It requires trying to find out who these people and why they may be saying this. None of this is gonna be easy, and the czar — that I have this imagination of sitting in position here overseeing all this — is exactly what the job is:<\/p>\n Overseeing all of this. Overseeing all these actions. Directing these actions. Informing the people that work for the czar doing the investigations what needs to be done. “Here\u2019s the stuff that needs to be tracked down. These are the people you need to find. These are the people who need to swear to what they\u2019re saying happened.” This is a lot of states. Now, this is already happening.<\/p>\n There\u2019s not a czar, per se, but this is already happening, and it takes time. I know you read about these examples on Twitter or Sidney Powell: 450,000 ballots with only Biden\u2019s name on \u2019em. You say, “Well, Sidney Powell would never lie about it.” Yeah, it still has to be tracked down, still has to be sworn to, still has to be signed off on. Nobody\u2019s word is good, in other words.<\/p>\n You\u2019ve got to go through the process here.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-Fox-News-Tearaway-110920.jpg\")
<\/a>Safeguarding our elections is no longer a concern. It really was a big concern when Al Gore wasn\u2019t happy back in 2000. We spent 37 days safeguarding that election. Thirty-seven days. That was basically a three county, one state investigation. And there was no thought of shutting down that investigation early like there is this one. What are they trying to hide?<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110920-Fox-Levin.jpg\")
<\/a>RUSH: That is the kind of information that needs to be sent and transmitted to the American people by a credible czar every day as the information is gathered, somebody who can make it understandable, like me. I mean, I am not the czar. Don\u2019t missunderstand. But somebody who can make the complex understandable. What Starr has just said here is the governor of Pennsylvania doesn\u2019t have the power to do what he did. It\u2019s not in the United States Constitution. Justice Alito saw what the governor did and immediately stepped in and said you\u2019re not gonna do it that way. Justice Alito then ordered the separation of all post-Election Day ballots in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110920-Starr-FOX.jpg\")
<\/a>STARR: It was very clear from the outset that what the governor did and what the state Supreme Court did was utterly unconstitutional. So it\u2019s a lawless act. And at this stage the Supreme Court has a solemn duty, in light of the nature of the issue and the stakes at hand, has to take the case. And I think, by the way, the earlier determination by Justice Alito to call a halt to any county if that had begun of these set-aside ballots, the ones that I view as illegal, they\u2019re just illegal. They don\u2019t and should not count. His determination to do that is a signal — it\u2019s not an assurance — but it\u2019s a signal that a majority of the Supreme Court would uphold what Justice Alito has done.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110620-Vote-Count-2020-3.jpg\")
They did that in anticipation of this. No postal dates on mail-in ballots? They did that on purpose. The decision to take these safeguards off is part of the issue. We\u2019ve gotta find out who did that, and did they have the legal authority to do it? Which makes the uncovering of fraud harder and harder. This is not gonna be easy. We know it happened. But now the fraud\u2019s been institutionalized.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-bongino-Tearaway-110920.jpg\")

Absentee, you\u2019ve gotta prove who you are. You don\u2019t with mail-in. What is this business about you don\u2019t have to count \u2019em by election night? When somebody said, as our last caller says, “You\u2019re gonna think you\u2019re winning after election night, but then after they count the mail-in ballots, that\u2019s where Trump\u2019s gonna lose.” Why do we wait until after election night to count the mail-in ballots when the mail-in ballots ostensibly are arriving before Election Day ballots?<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110920-Powel-Fox-1.jpg\")
<\/a>This would take money, I understand, and it\u2019s not mine that I\u2019m offering up. This has gotta come from the people doing the investigating, be it the Trump campaign or some other entity.

<\/a>“Sidney Powell Claims There Are 450,000 Ballots That Voted Only For Biden, Left The Rest Blank<\/a> — Attorney Sidney Powell claims that her team has found 450,000 ballots with only votes for Biden and no down-ballot selections made. Powell suggests that this number of single vote ballots is suspect, and indicative in part of ‘abject fraud\u2019 that she says flipped the election to Biden.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-NY-Post-TEARAWAY-110920.jpg\")
<\/a>For how long was he behind in Georgia until they found a way to move him past it? “In Arizona, he was ahead by 19,438 votes. In Wisconsin, he was ahead by 20,540. In Pennsylvania, he was ahead by 43,251,” after being up 800,000 or 750,000. “In Nevada, he was ahead by 31,464. It is not outlandish or unprecedented to accept the possibility that at least some of those margins may be erroneous, whether through human error or, indeed, fraud.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Lincoln-650.jpg\")
“The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” That\u2019s what this effort should be focused on: “Overthrow[ing] the men who pervert the Constitution.” Overthrowing the people, in other words, who are ignoring it, who are trampling on it, who are running the risk of ruining it.<\/p>\n

<\/a>“Process that for a moment. Start with Pennsylvania. Biden, as of this writing, is at 290 electoral votes. Pennsylvania is 20. I read the Justice Alito opinion, and it is pretty clear that he wants the after-election night at 8:00 P.M. votes separated for a reason. Biden is going to lose at the Supreme Court, and they know it.” This guy is confident. See, he\u2019s confident that the Supreme Court would throw out those ballots that came in after 8 p.m. on election night.<\/p>\n
