<\/p>\nRUSH: Tom in Winona, Missouri. Tom, it\u2019s great that you\u2019re here. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thanks, sir. Good afternoon. I wanted to say that I think that states with Republican-controlled legislatures should inform the president of the Senate that they\u2019re withholding their certification of election results pending further development of the situation, because they have no intention of participating in a proceeding that\u2019s going to ratify a fraud, and that if this election is gonna be a Third World farce, then it ought to be a complete one with 100% vote for the winner.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: You know, I love that idea. If we\u2019re gonna do this — if we\u2019re gonna bastardize this election, if we\u2019re gonna turn this country into a Third World, tinhorn dictatorship — let\u2019s go all the way, and let\u2019s make sure Biden gets 100% of the vote.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I love that idea.<\/p>\n
CALLER: (crosstalking)<\/p>\n
RUSH: Bah! Bah! Bah! I\u2019m host. I got limited time. Want to ask you a question, okay?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Do you believe Sidney Powell, you believe Lin Wood, do you believe these people telling us what they\u2019ve found and what they\u2019ve got, evidence-wise? Do you believe it?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes. Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH: No doubts?<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019m just trying to gather the way people think. There\u2019s no right or wrong answer here. I\u2019m just curious how you think. Why? Do you know Sidney Powell? Do you know her personally? Can you vouch for her?<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, sir. No, sir. No, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH: But yet you still believe what she is claiming. There\u2019s gotta be a reason for it.<\/p>\n
CALLER: The statistical anomalies that have been brought up, like the fact that — something brought up, I think — he didn\u2019t do as well, Biden didn\u2019t do as well Hillary or Barack Hussein —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — in New York —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — or Chicago, and yet he did way better than they did in the states where the results are under dispute. All the unprecedented practice of stopping counting only in six states, all of them controlled by Democrats, all that Trump had to win.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Why would you stop counting?<\/p>\n
CALLER: (chuckling) Exactly.<\/p>\n
RUSH: My wife, Kathryn, and I have been asking ourselves. That\u2019s what we always go back to (there\u2019s other things too): Why would you stop counting?<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: I still like the idea we got from our caller in the last hour that, “Hey, if we\u2019re gonna behave like a banana republic, let\u2019s go all the way. Let\u2019s just find a way to get Joe Biden 100% of the vote. Think of it. What a way to start out relationships with Venezuela, with the ChiComs, with Putin and the Castros (what\u2019s left of \u2019em) down in Cuba.” What a grand idea!<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-111720-tri-box.jpg\")
We may just go all in. If we\u2019re gonna have… Folks, he was serious about this. If we\u2019re gonna have an election that is as bastardized as this one was, if we\u2019re gonna stop the counting — (chuckling) there\u2019s no reason to stop the counting — in Biden districts, in Biden states… If we\u2019re gonna stop the counting, why? ‘Cause they needed take time to find out where they needed additional votes.<\/p>\n
If we\u2019re gonna do this, if we\u2019re gonna insult and bastardize the American electoral process, let\u2019s go all the way. Let\u2019s just make sure that Joe Biden gets 100%, maybe 99%. We\u2019ll allow that. To show that we\u2019re not an autocratic, authoritative tyranny, we would allow that 1% did not vote for Biden. But I still like 100%. I think that\u2019d be great.<\/p>\n
I have a couple of stories here. I, frankly, did not lead with this today because I was trying to combine two birds with one stone. I figured that — and maybe I misjudged how important this is. I figured there would be phone calls out the wazoo on Sidney Powell and Lin Wood and Rudy and this entire effort that they have underway or that they have begun where they are claiming irrefutable evidence.<\/p>\n
I thought you guys would be so wired out there that you\u2019d be melting the phone lines talking about this. I figure you may have already done it with previous hosts, the guest hosts, like with Steyn yesterday. I didn\u2019t think about that. But then again, I stopped and thought, “But you still haven\u2019t talked about it with me.” So that\u2019s what we\u2019re gonna do now, and I\u2019ve got a couple of stories that I want to use as guideposts, guardrails, guiding lights to get this started.<\/p>\n
One of them is a — and they\u2019re stories that have good summaries of where we are, what has happened at the moment. One of them is by John Nolte at Breitbart. “Sidney Powell and Lin Wood Promise That There is a Ton of Voter Fraud.”<\/a> I\u2019ve been following this even though I\u2019ve been away, and I probably have the same questions and reactions that all of you have.<\/p>\n I know Sidney Powell. I don\u2019t know her personally, but I know her. I have spoken to her on the phone. She has been interviewed by me on this program. She has an impeccable, unchallengeable record in books that she has written criticizing the fairness (or lack of it) at the Department of Justice. Impeccable. She has not been challenged in one thing that she\u2019s written in that book.<\/p>\n And how they had railroaded other defendants like Ted Stevens in Alaska. How they had engaged in prosecutorial misconduct. How they had been called out by a judge — Emmet Sullivan, as it turns out. It was outrageous what these lawyers, led by Andrew Weissmann, were allowed to get away with. And she wrote about everything they did. And they never challenged her that I saw. They never sued her. They never objected.<\/p>\n They didn\u2019t say a word about it. Their strategy was to ignore it and hope it goes away and hope that nobody of any consequence will read it. That was the strategy. And it is a strategy when you find yourself involved something like this, just ignore it and hope that you don\u2019t amplify it by talking about it yourself. And I\u2019m telling you, folks, that\u2019s how I know Sidney Powell.<\/p>\n And I know Lin Wood… I don\u2019t know him, either, and I\u2019ve not interviewed him. But I know that he secured big money in settlement lawsuits against CNN and, I believe, the Washington Post on behalf of the Covington kids who were in fact slandered by both CNN and Washington Post — and the whole of the Drive-By Media, New York Times as well.<\/p>\n So the bottom line is these people — specifically Sidney Powell and Lin Wood — their work, their life\u2019s work hasn\u2019t been refuted. Their life\u2019s work has not been challenged. They have not been called out. They\u2019ve not been… Maybe they\u2019ve been privately threatened; I don\u2019t know. But they haven\u2019t been publicly threatened. “You better cease and desist or else we\u2019re gonna sue you \u2019til the end of your money,” whatever.<\/p>\n Nothing like that publicly. Now, privately there may have been attempts to intimidate. The point is, I have no reason not to believe them. None! In fact, I have every reason to believe them. Intellectually, not emotionally. I know I want what they\u2019re saying to be true. But intellectually, I can\u2019t come up with a reason to doubt them. What could their motivation be?<\/p>\n Because if it turns out that they\u2019re making all this up, it\u2019s over for them. They\u2019re getting half the country riled up — or a decent percentage — on something that\u2019s gonna be exposed as a total fraud? I can\u2019t… There\u2019s nothing in either person\u2019s life\u2019s work or track record that would indicate that this is a standard operating procedure for them. Now, that doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t possible, \u2019cause people are people and they do crazy things, and they have crazy motivations.<\/p>\n “What are you gonna do with it? You have all this evidence. To whom are you going to present it?” Now, a lot of people think that there is conflicting information in all this and that because of the conflicting information, people don\u2019t know what to think about the election results. I\u2019m using the word “information” because the word “news” is now totally meaningless.<\/p>\n You realize there\u2019s no news anymore, folks. As I have told you over the many broadcast years, there\u2019s no news. There\u2019s just a bunch of charlatans out there presenting information that has been manipulated, exaggerated, made up, what have you. Now, there are some sites also that some might say are kook sites that are also in on this.<\/p>\n They\u2019re in deep on it. I say “kook sites” because you never heard of \u2019em and they… Well, let me retract “kook sites.” They\u2019re just some sites you\u2019ve never heard of and so you might say, “Okay, well, I can\u2019t invest in something I never heard of.” Why can\u2019t you? You realize that anybody on earth can access the internet and write something and post it there?<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: By the way, the raving testimonial I gave Sidney Powell I could also give to Lin Wood, although I don\u2019t know him, I\u2019ve never interviewed him. But these are people that have no reputation as phonies, liars, charlatans, opportunists, none of that has ever attached to them. So when you hear these people talk about the evidence they\u2019ve got, the ontological certitude they have over this election being stolen and fraudulent, it\u2019s difficult, folks, to just not believe them because of who they are.<\/p>\n This is going to be a real test because these two people have impeccable reputations. They have as impeccable a reputation as you could hope to achieve. The only thing they\u2019re not is liberals. If they were liberals they would be king and queen. But they\u2019re not. They may not be conservatives. They could be Libertarians. They could be apolitical. Sidney Powell, I don\u2019t know what her politics are. Might want to assume.<\/p>\n But my point is that their reputations you can\u2019t touch. If an untouchable reputation is a goal of yours in your life, if you hope that at some point in your adult life you\u2019ve achieved this great achievement of an impeccable reputation, these two people have done that. And it\u2019s gonna be real interesting to see how they are dealt with. And it\u2019s going to be interesting to see just how valuable in 2020 and 2021 an impeccable reputation is.<\/p>\n I can speak for myself in saying growing up, in our family, an impeccable reputation was regarded as something special, was regarded as something to pursue. It was thought taught to us as something very difficult to achieve. That it required constant and vigilant attention and effort to everything you did, and especially the way you treat other people.<\/p>\n My dad said to me, “If you want to really determine the character of somebody, watch how they treat people who can\u2019t do anything for them.” And, boy, has that been proven true. But here we have these two people, impeccable, impeccable reputations. That alone should make them believable. But will it? Do reputations really count for more than a political ideology in 2020?<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Here\u2019s Sandy in Dawsonville, Georgia. Hi.<\/p>\n CALLER: Hello.<\/p>\n RUSH: Hey.<\/p>\n CALLER: Mega dittos and mega prayers from Dawsonville.<\/p>\n RUSH: Thank you. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n CALLER: Thank you for having me on. Listen. I was listening to your show and you were talking about Lin Wood and Sidney Powell. In Georgia where I live, Lin Wood has filed a lawsuit here for the election that just occurred. And I don\u2019t know whether it has any merit or not. However, I was kind of outraged that, number one, Georgia went Democratic. I\u2019m shocked.<\/p>\n RUSH: You\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n RUSH: I think a lot of people have lost faith in the electoral system, starting back in 2016. Do you realize — I\u2019m not trying to change the subject on you — but you realize, in 2016 the Democrat Party began a process that was part of their political objective of overturning the presidential election, overturning the results of 2016. To do that, they had to convince people that the election was stolen, that it was fraudulent, that Donald Trump stole the election by working with Russians, and they spent four years pounding it into people\u2019s heads.<\/p>\n And 35% to 40% of country believed it, Democrat voters, to this day believe it. That\u2019s a stunning thing. And they did it on purpose. And it sets up, unbeknownst to them, it sets up all these challenges to the election that they won, that they think they won with Biden. It\u2019s the Democrat Party who verified, validated the whole concept that elections are not honest and that they\u2019re easy to steal. The Democrat Party did this. Four years, day-to-day pounding, New York Times, Washington Post, CNN. So now here they are crying and whining. When they win an election, it\u2019s all aboveboard and up and up.<\/p>\n As to the specifics of what happened in Georgia, I\u2019m like you. I was stunned at some of the results. In Georgia now Andrew Yang and a bunch of other Democrats — you tell me this isn\u2019t election fraud — they\u2019re urging Democrats from all over the country to move to Georgia to flood the state with new Democrats to vote in the runoff elections in January and then to move back home after the election in January. You tell me that that\u2019s something that\u2019s aboveboard.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Okay. Here is John Nolte and his piece at Breitbart on Sidney Powell and Lin Wood. This is a serious woman. There\u2019s no circus atmosphere around her, and she is pledging as she did over the weekend on Maria Bartiromo\u2019s Sunday Morning Futures — which I made it a point to watch last night. I missed it. Kathryn said, “You need to watch it \u2019cause it\u2019s awesome. It\u2019ll be great show prep.” I just missed it, and it was.<\/p>\n You\u2019re gonna have a tough time being heard anyway, \u2019cause the sense of sight overpowers the sense of hearing every day. So you\u2019re gonna have to be as little a distraction as you can be, and among those things is: Do not move your head. Do not bob up and down. Do not shake your head side to side. Do not move! It\u2019s really hard not to do it. You have to consciously think to yourself, “Don\u2019t move. Don\u2019t move your head.”<\/p>\n I have a habit of using my energy in physical ways. I have a habit of bouncing. I bop up and down in the chair when I\u2019m excited like I\u2019m doing now; people on Dittocam can see it.<\/a> That is a very distracting thing to do. It\u2019s one of the reasons I started a line of ties. Ahem. You know, if you have a face like mine, sometimes you want people not to see it, so you put on a very colorful tie, and it can serve that purpose.<\/p>\n I\u2019m just kidding. No, but that really is true, and the worst thing you can do on TV is to distract people when you\u2019re talking. If you want to be heard on one of these cable shows, do not move. She has mastered it. She doesn\u2019t move. Her head does not move. She can be speaking for three minutes straight; her head will not move. You do not know how hard that is.<\/p>\n Some people, it\u2019s just an instinctive talent that they\u2019ve got. Other people have to be taught it and have to rehearse it and so forth — and other people, you\u2019ll notice, either they haven\u2019t been taught or they can\u2019t do it because they move an incredible amount. But she doesn\u2019t. The point is, she cuts through any distraction.<\/p>\n And she made it clear on Maria Bartiromo\u2019s show that they\u2019ve got the goods, that they can prove there was enough voter fraud to overturn Biden\u2019s lead! “There has been a massive and coordinated effort to steal this election from we, the people of the United States, to delegitimize and destroy votes for Donald Trump, to manufacture votes for Joe Biden,” she said.<\/p>\n No other down-ballot candidate gets a vote on 450,000 ballots for Joe Biden. She said, “They had all of this planed, Maria [Bartiromo]. They had the algorithms. They had the paper ballots waiting to be inserted if and when needed — and notably, President Trump\u2019s vote in the blue states went up enormously. That\u2019s when they had to stop the vote count.” When Trump\u2019s lead… He had an 800,000-vote lead in Pennsylvania, folks — an 800,000-vote lead!<\/p>\n They stopped the count in Philadelphia and surrounding suburbs.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, stopped the vote, when Trump led.<\/p>\n If you have an 800,000-vote lead in Pennsylvania, you\u2019ve got to be scoring big in Philadelphia. So she says that when Trump\u2019s vote in the blue states went up enormously, that\u2019s when they had to stop the vote count. They had to go in and replace votes for Biden and take away votes for Trump. Then there\u2019s Lin Wood, a Georgia-based attorney most famous for successfully suing the fake media behalf Richard Jewell in the 1990s.<\/p>\n Do you remember that? Lin Wood defended Richard Jewell. Richard Jewell was named by MSNBC as the bomber in Olympic plaza in Atlanta 1996 when the Olympics were being held there. Some bomber started going nuts. Richard Jewell didn\u2019t do it. He ran around proclaiming his innocence. He ran around claiming he didn\u2019t do it, professing and all of this that he didn\u2019t do it, nobody would listen to him.<\/p>\n NBC would not retract the story. And, by the way, the rest of the media picked it up on the strength of the NBC story. Lin Wood won a huge settlement with NBC for Richard Jewell and on behalf of the Covington kids, the Covington Catholic high school student Nick Sandmann just last year. Lin Wood is also a part of this with Sidney Powell, is asking for patience. But he is outright promising, quote, “I have seen overwhelming evidence that massive fraud was in the computer voting system in addition to the mail ballots.”<\/p>\n So you have in the center of this circus two attorneys who have spent decades building up reputations for honesty and integrity for not being a part of the circus. They say they have the evidence. And that\u2019s what people are keeping their eye on, and they\u2019re doing it because they can\u2019t find any evidence that Sidney Powell or Lin Wood have ever engaged in massive — this would be a massive attempt at fraud, a massive lie. There\u2019s no evidence.<\/p>\n It\u2019s like I told you, folks, it\u2019s gonna be really fascinating to see just how valuable an impeccable reputation is for a person in 2020 and 2021. Sidney Powell and Lin Wood have spent their lives accumulating fabulous reputations, unassailable. I don\u2019t know about you, but my family told me that there\u2019s nothing but your reputation. Now, a lot of families didn\u2019t believe that. It\u2019s not a universal value, because some families are criminals, for example. And some families are odd in other ways. Not everybody believes the same thing. But in make America great again land, in MAGA land, having a reputation, something they can\u2019t wait away from you.<\/p>\n We\u2019re gonna find out how valuable it really is. Is an impeccable reputation more valuable, say, than your political ideology? Is it more important than being a liberal? I will guarantee you no because liberals do not have impeccable, unassailable reputations. Some of them do, but they exist in a world of fraud when it comes to votes. So here you have Sidney Powell and Lin Wood.<\/p>\n Now, the next story that I wanted to get into with you here, as I mentioned, was David Catron, American Spectator. Headline: “What We Must Believe to Believe Biden Won.” Let me give you some pull quotes first. Mr. Catron writes, “The Democrats knew they couldn\u2019t beat Trump honestly, so they\u2019re stealing the election. In the end, to accept Joe Biden as our legitimate Chief Executive, we must believe the voters hammered the Democrats in congressional, state, and local elections.”<\/p>\n I mean, down the ballot voters voted against Democrats in the most unexpected ways. Remember, the Democrats expected to take the Senate, and they may yet steal it. They expected to build up their advantage in the House, expected to take the White House. They never, never expected to lose down the ballot like they did, but they did. Mr. Catron\u2019s point is, we gotta accept the fact that Biden was the only Democrat that the voters wanted to vote for, really.<\/p>\n “We must believe that all of the elections in the swing states were conducted honestly and that the Venezuelan software used to tabulate the votes was secure.” Do you know that the software used to count the votes is from Venezuela, that is a company started by Hugo Chavez, who was in the business of rigging elections for himself and his party. Dominion software. Sidney Powell has the goods on this bunch.<\/p>\n As Mr. Catron writes, “Joe Biden may be inaugurated in January, but he certainly wasn\u2019t elected president.” There\u2019s just too much that didn\u2019t happen, and there\u2019s too much that did happen that defies belief. It doesn\u2019t make any sense.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Chris in San Rafael, California. Welcome. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n CALLER: Hey, how you doing, Rush?<\/p>\n RUSH: Super. Super. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n CALLER: It\u2019s a real thrill to talk with you, and I have to tell you, God bless you.

<\/a>That book, Amazon would not even carry it, Amazon would not even list it, and that\u2019s when I got really curious. “What are they so afraid of? What\u2019s everybody so worried about here?” So I went out, I got a copy of the book, and I read it. I was outraged. I was outraged by the page as I was reading this. It was about the same lawyers that were on the Mueller team and how they had abused Justice Department rules and guidelines.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-111720-Maga-march-T-3.jpg\")
And we can\u2019t possibly know everything going on in these people\u2019s lives. I\u2019m just telling you on the surface here (even a little deeper than the surface), I cannot imagine them doing it with the specificity that they are alleging things that have happened here. So it\u2019s just impossible to not believe this. Then start asking, “Well, okay. So what\u2019s next? I mean, you got all these evidence.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110920-L-Lin-Wood.jpg\")

They\u2019re both Republican. But I wanted to get your take on what you thought the merits of this case here in Georgia and whether we might see some results that are actually accurate?

Sidney Powell was awesome on it. Let me tell you what a pro Sidney Powell is. This is something I have not mastered even myself, and I am a highly trained broadcast specialist. Next time you watch Sidney Powell (but now you\u2019re gonna be watching for everybody), watch her head. It doesn\u2019t move. It\u2019s one of the central training tidbits of television. If you want to be heard, if you want to be listened to while you\u2019re on TV, which is a visual medium…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-111720-Fox-Powell.jpg\")
“They have done it in every way imaginable from having dead people vote in massive numbers to absolutely fraudulent creating ballots that exist only voting for Biden. They also used an algorithm to calculate the votes they would need to flip. They used computers to flip those votes from Trump to Biden. We have identified,” she added, “at least 450,000 ballots in the key states that miraculously only have a mark for Joe Biden on them and no other candidate.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ZZ-APP-Rush-Blur-Flag-011.jpg\")
That voters made a conscious effort when they voted to vote against Democrats in congressional, state, and local elections, but they made sure to vote for Bite Me in the presidential race. We also must believe that Joe Bite Me “dramatically underperformed among minority voters, yet received 10 million more votes than Barack Obama. We must believe that virtually all of the reliable election bellwethers were wrong.” I\u2019ll explain that later. There are 19 counties that are bellwether counties that have never missed. If you get these 19 voting for you, you win. And that didn\u2019t happen this time around. That\u2019s the short version of the story.<\/p>\n
