Great to have you. You\u2019re up next. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thanks for taking my call, Rush. Prayers for you and your family.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, I\u2019m gonna go out on a limb and speak for the millions of Trump supporters out there that believe this was a fraudulent election and see that things are being swept under the rug. And I\u2019m also gonna say that these millions of people also trust your opinion. Rush, where do we go from here?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, you know, I have a phrase. My good friend Vince Flynn, who passed away from prostate cancer at way too young an age had a &#8212; and it\u2019s nothing unique to him, but he was famous for it because it was consistent, he was consistent, &#8220;keep the faith.&#8221; He just believed in keeping the faith.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-247242\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-091517-Vince-Flynn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-091517-Vince-Flynn.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-091517-Vince-Flynn-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, I hear a lot of people talking about &#8212; and I\u2019ve got a problem with this &#8212; a lot of people talking about the upcoming midterms in 2022. I\u2019m hearing people on our side, the traditional political junkies, &#8220;Well, let the Democrats do whatever they\u2019re gonna do, \u2019cause they\u2019re gonna be swamped, baby, we\u2019re gonna wipe \u2019em out in the midterms. We\u2019re gonna win the House back, we\u2019re gonna win the Senate back, man, it\u2019s gonna be beautiful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8220;Wait a minute, do you people not get what\u2019s going on here? The days of traditional American politics&#8230; the Democrats are setting it up so they\u2019re never gonna lose elections again. What do you mean we\u2019re gonna win it all back in 2022? Who in their right mind thinks that that\u2019s in the cards?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, Rush, it\u2019s gonna be so massive, they can\u2019t stop it with cheating. They\u2019re gonna be so rejected.&#8221; They\u2019re gonna be so rejected? How the hell did they win? &#8220;They didn\u2019t run, Rush, they cheated.&#8221; Folks, you\u2019re making a big mistake if you think that all of this success that they\u2019re enjoying is simply due to cheating. There are gazillions of Americans who\u2019ve bought into this. There are lots of Americans who have gone over to the dark side.<\/p>\n<p>This is not simply because the Democrats fraudulently stole an election. Even if they did, Plugs still got enough votes to enable them to go over the line by cheating. We have a serious problem here. But the idea that the American people didn\u2019t know what they were doing and in two years are gonna be running to the ballot box to reverse their decision because they had no idea they were electing a bunch of communists, what do you think just happened in Georgia?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-353700\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-062420-Trump-Preserve-American-Way-Of-Life.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-062420-Trump-Preserve-American-Way-Of-Life.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-062420-Trump-Preserve-American-Way-Of-Life-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-062420-Trump-Preserve-American-Way-Of-Life-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Two known communists were elected knowingly. How did it happen? Georgia has been overrun by people leaving the Northeast. There were stories all over the news about how Democrats were being targeted to move to Georgia, to establish residency there for the singular purpose of electing these two communists to the Senate, and they did it. So the idea that we are in the midst of a traditional American politics I think &#8212; while it would be great if it\u2019s true, it\u2019s woefully naive. It misses the point of what is happening right in front of our faces in this country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re gonna sweep \u2019em in 2022, baby. That\u2019s right.&#8221; I mean, why didn\u2019t we sweep \u2019em in Georgia last week? Georgia\u2019s been a red state for I don\u2019t know how long. What the hell happened? &#8220;Oh, we\u2019ll get \u2019em in 2022, Rush, you\u2019ll see.&#8221; Folks, remember my admonition, the Democrats, if they could, if they could, would eliminate elections? What if they effectively have? I mean, we still have them, but what if they\u2019re irrelevant?<\/p>\n<p>The only thing &#8212; you ask me, what can the American people do &#8212; wake the hell up, those who haven\u2019t. And understand what we\u2019re up against, because I still think we have the ability to outnumber these people. I still think we do. But I think we\u2019ve got way too much &#8212; I don\u2019t know &#8212; blindness or ignorance, and perhaps it\u2019s worse than that. Maybe people have gone over to the Democrat Party side knowingly and purposely \u2019cause they believe in it.
