	Let me ask you a question, folks.
	How many how many people in the establishment have said Donald Trump is unacceptable?
	Obama said it, Hillary has said it.
	Every Democrat, Tim Kane, Biden, they've all said he's unacceptable.
	Even some Republicans have said he's unacceptable.
	Donald Trump is unacceptable.
	They're the ones trying to tell us that Trump poses this great threat, that he might not accept the results of the election.
	But who is it that's actually telling us who and who isn't unacceptable?
	And that's Trump.
	And they're telling us about him.
	Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
	It's open line Friday.
	Yeah, Donald Trump's unacceptable.
	We're not gonna put up with Donald Trump.
	Nobody should put up.
	Why's Trump unacceptable?
	That means over half the country's unacceptable for Crunch, so far as these people are concerned.
	It's a classic example.
	We can't have Trump.
	Look at what Trump Trump say he won't accept the result of the election, which is not what he said.
	Well, they're saying they won't accept him.
	It's open line Friday, 800-282-2882.
	If you want to be on the program in the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
	I'm sorry, EIBNet.us.
	Sorry, I keep screwing this.
	I need to write this down so it's in front of me.
	Because I got 25 years of syllabic memory here.
	L Rushbow at EIB net US.
	Um I thought of something, and I'm I made a comment in the last hour that I'm just like you.
	I know what it's like to feel ostracized.
	I know what's like they they work it on all of us, folks.
	Certainly, what do you mean?
	What do you mean?
	I'll give you the greatest, not the greatest, but I'll give you a good example of it.
	It wasn't that long ago, maybe I don't even remember, five, eight years ago, that I was approached to join a group of people that wanted to buy the St. Louis Rams.
	I was gonna be a minority investor in the project.
	And somehow that information leaked out.
	Now, I had been approached by people who knew me, and and there had been no more public fan of the NFL for 24 years than me.
	From the environmentalist wacko picks to violating my no guest rule by having football people on on Fridays, especially Super Bowl week.
	There was no question that I would I was such an NFL fan that I had people calling here saying, stick to the issues.
	We don't want to hear about this.
	But then somebody leaked to the media that I was in this group that was going to try to buy the Rams.
	You know what happened next?
	A bunch of reporters started writing stories quoting me things I'd never said about wishing for the return of slavery and other abominational things.
	Things I had never said that were just totally made up that turned out having emanated from media matters.
	These reporters were heralded as doing great work.
	A reporter for the New York Daily News went to a couple of NFL locker rooms, armed with these quotes seeking out black players.
	Do you want somebody like this owning a team in the We can't have somebody who wants to return to slavery in this league?
	No way.
	And it mushroomed and it blew up.
	I'm sure those of you who are listening around didn't remember it.
	The thing is, everything about it was manufactured and made up.
	And the reporters that engaged in this were heralded as doing Pulitzer type work.
	So I I am entirely familiar with how the left operates.
	By the way, what harm could there have ever been of somebody like me owning a smidgen of an NFL team?
	But even that was unacceptable.
	And the reason it was unacceptable is the NFL's mainstream and they were not going to let that happen.
	Not me be perceived as mainstream or human or any of this simply because I was effective as a conservative.
	And the same thing's being done to Trump.
	The exact same hysteria.
	Something he didn't say is being reported as something he did say, and furthermore, something that he really means, to the point they're trying to convince people that Trump might go so far as to mount a coup if he loses.
	It's hysteria beyond any boundaries of reality.
	So I ask myself, why?
	What's behind this hysteria?
	Why why can't, if it's so outrageous what Trump said, I want you to laugh it off and make fun of the guy and just ridicule him and so forth.
	Why this?
	This hand wringing outrage.
	I'm not even sure it's mock out rates.
	I think these people are genuinely blown away.
	I think they really do think what they think.
	Some of them do.
	And to them it is maybe the most offensive thing that Trump has ever said.
	It's more offensive or whatever they think he did with these women.
	It's more offensive than what he did when they claim he mocked a disabled reporter.
	This to say he's gonna wait for the outcome of the election to decide how he wants to approach it.
	Why, this may constitute the single greatest assault on freedom as we have known it, if you listen to these people.
	And there's no exception.
	Every one of them.
	Hundreds, thousands of reporters and media people and professional political people around the country, all act and think the same way.
	And it just doesn't make sense.
	Unless there's something going on that we don't know.
	Because this is not rational behavior.
	It's not a rational reaction.
	And it's further emphasized by Trump going out the next day and jamming them by saying, okay, I'll accept the results if I win.
	That that's that's designed to make them explode after they've been simmering all night.
	He's toying with them, he's tweaking them.
	I know it well.
	I do it all the time.
	I sometimes even tell you in advance when they're going to tweak the media here.
	And they all I can do it anytime I want.
	They fall for it.
	Even what they know I'm gonna do it, I can make them freak out.
	And go get the vapors.
	And I think it has to do with they they must really think they've got a tentative hold on whatever it is they think of themselves as being members of the establishment, the uh youthful young, small club of elites.
	I mean, whatever it is, they must think their hold on it is tentative.
	Because, man, it seems like they really think it's uh can be taken away from them.
	Like that.
	So what are they really afraid of?
	Well, afraid of rig the election.
	They're out there saying Trump is impugning hundreds of years of American tradition.
	Donald Trump is such a reprobate.
	Donald Trump is such scum.
	Donald Trump is such human debris.
	He's challenging the integrity of one of the greatest traditions of America.
	How dare yet the Democrats constantly engage in the very behavior they accuse Trump of engaging in?
	They out allegating or alleging that this was fraudulent, that was cheated from them, that was taken away from them.
	As though somehow they are the paragons of virtue in all this, it's laughable.
	The idea that, I mean, these are the people stand in the way of every idea to take fraud out of elections.
	They oppose every idea, every great idea to remove fraud from elections.
	They oppose it.
	Such photo IDs, purging the voter roles of people who've passed away.
	It's a Democrats who stand out.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	You can't take dead people off the rope.
	Why not?
	Is this clutter?
	They can't vote.
	Well, you can't do it.
	Wonder why.
	Photo ID.
	It's racist.
	It's racist to demand a photo ID.
	How in the hell is that racist?
	Well, black people know the history of this country, and You make them go down to City Hall.
	You have you make them go down to a big giant government building and tell them they have to pose for a picture.
	Damn right they think they're gonna be sent back to the next plantation.
	Are you kidding me?
	This is what they say.
	You can't do photo ID because bring about horrible memories of generations ago in Plantation South.
	We can't do that.
	It's too traumatic.
	We can't have African Americans being asked to go to a federal building to pose for a picture.
	Well, how many times have they had to do it anyway?
	They go to federal buildings for a whole bunch of other reasons.
	They go to state government buildings for a whole lot of some of them to work, some of them for other reasons.
	What do you mean you can't go there to get a picture to Well, it's too horrible, it's just too traumatic.
	So any effort to get rid of voter fraud they oppose.
	But I think this is classic.
	What's in the news today?
	Yeah, I'm gonna get to the All Smith dinner in a minute.
	Hang it, just be patient.
	We've still got an hour and 45 minutes to go here.
	And I guarantee you what I have to say about the Al Smith dinner you haven't heard yet.
	The odds are.
	And we're gonna have sound bites of Trump and his rally here in uh in in North Carolina.
	I'll tell you this Al Smith dinner, one thing.
	Trump had no chance.
	Did you see the people behind the who was in that room?
	Every damn person in that room except for Rudy Giuliani, every damn one of them looked like the biggest tight ass I have seen in I don't know how long, and it's New York.
	And you may not know this.
	But New York doesn't like Trump.
	He's from Queens.
	He's from Queens.
	He's not from Manhattan.
	He doesn't have a place in Hamptons, if you note.
	No, no.
	His golfer there in Westchester over in New Jersey, but he doesn't have a place in the Hamptons.
	Where all of them go.
	Trump's an interloper in Manhattan.
	Trump is gauche, he's embarrassing, he flaunts his wealth with all the gold leaf in his penthouse apartment and his model wife and so forth.
	These are people who read the New York Times and believe it every day.
	You think they're gonna laugh at something at the Donald Trump speech?
	These people wipe themselves with the New York Times, and it's an honor when they do it.
	And they're sitting there and they're politely chomping on their food, and then Trump says something, you can see they want to burp and belch, and some of them get off this stage, you're embarrassing.
	What did he say?
	I don't have the exact word, but he said, I find it strange here we're at a Catholic charity sitting with Mrs. Clinton who don't even like Catholics.
	Oh, you're not supposed to say that?
	Why not?
	Well, it just isn't proper.
	What if it happens to be true?
	Well, it hasn't been in the New York Times, so it can't be true.
	But it's in a WikiLeaks email dump.
	Her whole campaign makes fun of and mocks a Catholic church.
	The whole Democrat Party has assaulted the Catholic church politically.
	And Trump can't point it out.
	Nope, can't point it out.
	Violation of protocol.
	Violation of decency, violation of standards.
	Even people on our side would say the same thing.
	It's just beneath a dignity of people who would attend the Al Smith.
	You just can't do it.
	You're supposed to make fun of yourself.
	You're not supposed to make fun of other people.
	Okay, so what you see is what you get.
	This is a guy who's not part of that establishment.
	He's an outsider.
	He's invited to go to this thing because it's a tradition.
	Why should he go into this thing and be somebody he's not?
	Because that's what you have to do, Russian life.
	You sometimes have to.
	Well, he's running for president, his opponent's sitting in there.
	Why make phony nice?
	Why make fake nice?
	Trump doesn't waste his time with that, from what I understand.
	So I mean, just look at some of these people.
	And I I've watched previous Al Smith dinners like George W. Bush in there making jokes about himself, about his lack of intelligence.
	They loved it.
	Of course they're gonna applaud that.
	Did it get him elected?
	Did they walk out of there thinking, man, we didn't know this guy was such a great guy?
	No, they hate him Just as much as the moment he walked in, he behaved as he was supposed to.
	He did great self-deprecating humor, and he he played the type.
	He let everybody know he's an idiot.
	That's what they wanted to hear.
	Well, you gotta remember who's in this audience is not so much the Catholic church.
	It's a Catholic, you know, Al Smith is a Catholic charity dinner.
	But this audience believe look, these are the people I've been to their dinner parties when they tap me on the chest.
	What are you gonna do about the Christians?
	These are the people that take me over to the window and point out at Central Park and say, When are you gonna help us get rid of the guns?
	That's who's in there.
	That's who it is.
	What, you think I'm going too far here, Mr. Snurdly?
	It's the New York elite.
	Folks, that's exactly who they are.
	And Trump, that's no different than a bull in a China shop last night.
	It's exactly what it was going to be.
	Now Democrats are worried about cheating, right?
	Democrats are worried about the election being rigged.
	Why?
	Because Trump claims that it's going to be rigged.
	Trump's out there saying that if he loses, it's rigged.
	You know, and they're there.
	This is funny in itself.
	You know what they're thinking that this is because Trump knows he's going to lose.
	And so Trump in his own mind can't lose.
	Trump is so sick.
	Trump has such an out-of-control ego that Trump is so out of touch with the reality, he can't possibly lose.
	So that if he does, it's going to be rigged.
	And see, Trump knows he's going to lose, and so he's out there giving everybody on his side, all of his supporters, he's telling them right now it's rigged, because in his mind he can't legitimately lose an election.
	So they're trying to construct this picture where Trump knows he's going to lose.
	But he's such a sick narcissistic egomaniac that he can't handle losing, like Al Gore can, for example.
	He can't handle losing.
	So he's already blaming the system.
	That's what he's doing.
	And in the process, he is also tarnishing and besmirching and ripping to shreds our precious election system where there is never any cheating, and there's never any fraud, and there's never any, and this guy is coming along and poisoning everything we hold dear.
	I'm telling you the reaction to this is akin to a bunch of people that are on the verge of getting caught.
	So what do we have here?
	From Reuters, U.S. vote authorities warned to be alert to Russian hacks faking fraud.
	Wait till you hear this story, folks.
	Wait till you hear this is panic.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	Here is Hillary in public pretending she likes Catholics.
	Oh yeah.
	Oh yeah, double whammy.
	Could it be, let me run something by you, folks?
	Because this, for the second in a row I say this, this hysterical reaction to Trump's essentially common sense and harmless answer.
	When you get right down to it, Trump did you hear Trump say that he was going to definitely refuse to accept the outcome?
	No.
	Had he done that, the story the next day would have been Trump concedes election at final debate.
	Okay, so why the hysteria?
	They know he didn't say what they want you to think.
	He said, Why the hysteria?
	There has to be a reason for this hysteria, folks.
	This is not normal.
	This massive identical reaction from hundreds of people is hysterical.
	Why?
	Could it be just posing a possibility?
	Could it be that what they actually heard Trump say was this?
	You know you're cheating, and I know you're cheating.
	And I'm not going to act like your average Republican loser and let you get away with it.
	Could that have been what they heard?
	When Trump said, stand by, let's wait and see.
	Could they have heard Trump actually say, look, you guys, I know you're cheating, and you know you cheating.
	Or I know you've cheated, and you know you've cheated.
	And I'm not your average Republican loser that isn't gonna challenge you on it.
	Maybe they heard something like that.
	Something has to explain this fear.
	This is Starry.
	I've still got to get to this Reuters story here.
	This is classic, and I've got to get back to your calls.
	That's all coming up.
	Great to have you folks on Open Line Friday.
	Okay, there are two stories.
	There is one story out that says this.
	Trump's rigged election comments are a gift to dictators.
	Say Africans.
	And it cites Kenya, where Obama's cousin rejected election results.
	So what they're trying to do here with this story is say that Trump's comments on the election being rigged are providing aid and comfort to African dictators.
	Trump is responsible, therefore, for African dictators who may seize even more power.
	Donald Trump's responsible for this.
	Then there is this story.
	U.S., and this is utterly shameless, I mean, this is Reuters.
	U.S. vote authorities warned to be alert to Russian hacks faking fraud.
	Colon officials.
	Now let me ask you a question here.
	Does Hillary Clinton think she's gonna lose?
	Do these Democrats think they're gonna lose?
	Why in the world?
	Is she and her media spending so much time establishing the possibility that the Russian government is trying to give the election to Trump?
	First, it's Russia, and there are 17 independent intelligence agencies, and probably 1,500 independent experts of both parties, isn't that how this works?
	Who all agree that the Russians are responsible for hacking Podesta's email and then giving it to Julian Assange at WikiLeaks.
	Must be really worried what's in those hacks.
	And Donna Brazil comes along and says, I know what it means to be persecuted, and I'm a Christian woman.
	You're not gonna get it out of me, Kelly.
	So Donna Brazil's able to get out of jail with a Christian card.
	Doesn't work for Christian bakeries, doesn't work for Christian photographers, but Donna Brazil says, I'm a Christian, you can't ask me this.
	I'm a Christian, you can't accuse me of this.
	I'm a Christian, I can't possibly be guilty of this.
	But I know what it means to be persecuted as a Christian woman.
	Doesn't work for bakeries, doesn't work for photographers, doesn't work for pizzeria.
	But they're spending a lot of time here the possibility that the Russian government is gonna rig the election for Trump.
	But wait.
	At the same time, they tell us that it's not possible to engage in the amount of vote fraud that would be necessary to actually fake a presidential election.
	Charles Crauthammer has made this point.
	He's right.
	Crowdhammer's made this point.
	Any number of people have made the point that the presidential election is so massive that it would be impossible to engage in enough fraud to actually change the results of a presidential election.
	Now that has not stopped the Democrats in 2004 accusing it of happening.
	This is one of the funniest elections in my life.
	2004, Horseface John Kerry, loses.
	But the exit polls showed him winning.
	So when he ended up losing, a bunch of Democrats ran around and claimed that Kerry actually won because the exit poll said so, which must have meant the votes were fake.
	The votes had to be fraudulent.
	And Kerry said all it would have taken is 50,000 vote swing in Ohio, and I would have won.
	That's all.
	50,000, that's a lot of votes to cheat.
	And all of the establishment types folks are saying this idea, and they're saying this to ridicule Trump.
	Don't forget, Trump's out there.
	He is saying that the election could be rigged.
	I'm not gonna he's saying it.
	And their rejoinder to that, after ridiculing him for thinking such thing, is to then point out it's not possible.
	You've heard it, I've heard it, they're out there saying you couldn't do it.
	Presidential election, too massive.
	I mean, there's way too many polling places, the number of votes that we're talking about, it's just impossible to cheat that much.
	Then why are they afraid of the Russians doing it?
	Why are they afraid that the Russians are rigging the election for Trump if it can't be done?
	And the reason they say it can't be done is because they obviously want to protect the integrity of the whole process.
	I mean, they I totally understand them not coming out claiming you could do it.
	Can you imagine if these establishment types actually said in response to Trump, well, you know what, these races they could be fixed?
	Can you imagine the reaction to that?
	If anybody in the establishment, an elected official, a media person, anybody, a Wall Street banker, if anybody came out, damn well these elections can be fixed.
	Can you imagine?
	So of course they have to say it's not possible.
	I just find it's it's it's it's contradictory and hypocritical.
	Because on the one hit over here, they admonish Trump.
	This is silly.
	You couldn't fake, you couldn't trick, you couldn't rig a presidential election.
	And then we have this story from Reuters.
	U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials are warning that hackers with ties to Russia's intelligence services could try to undermine the credibility of the presidential election by posting documents online purporting to show evidence of voter fraud.
	Could could Obama and Hillary be any more obvious here?
	Credibility of the presidential election, they worry that the Russians, because the Russians are leaking the wiki leaks emails of Podesta, that the Russians could post documents online showing evidence of voter fraud.
	Why?
	It's not possible.
	You all keep telling us it's not possible to rig something as large as a presidential election.
	And yet here's one of their house organs, Reuters, with a story claiming that the Obama administration and the Hillary campaign are worried that the Russians are going to leave.
	Let me i if if if you're not quite sure what this is, let me give you just a straight analogy.
	What they're claiming here is that at some point down the road before the election, some documents purporting to be from the Democrat Party, let's say, are going to detail exactly how to cheat and win, say Florida, or win Ohio, or win North Carolina.
	And so Obama and Hillary and Reuters and the meet are warning us that this could happen.
	Does this not sound Rika paranoia?
	Because again, they keep telling us it isn't possible.
	That Trump's foolish, that Trump's paranoid, that Trump's a nutcase, that Trump needs to be in a straight jacket in an insane asylum in a padded cell.
	You can't rig elections.
	And yet, here's Reuters.
	Obama and Hillary really worried the Russians might leak documents purporting to claim that the Democrats have engaged in fraud.
	People wonder.
	How do they know?
	Again, this is one of these things.
	Who would ever think of something like this?
	They may be doing this if they can conceive that it could happen.
	The Russians here, the Russians there, the Russians are coming, the Russians are coming.
	Think of that movie back in the 1960s or 70s with Alan Arkin in it.
	Could be, yeah, I know.
	Maybe the cover story is getting out early for what they really plan to do to discredit it before it happens.
	Okay, so let's say they plan on doing this.
	Okay.
	They know it's going to come out, so they tell everybody be on the lookout for a Russian hack so that when it does come out, everybody poo-poos it.
	Oh, it's just a Russian hack.
	They told us this is coming.
	Nothing to see here.
	After they've already done it.
	Why do I feel like this election is just beginning today?
	Let me ask you this question, folks.
	The polling data all shows Trump losing in a landslide, right?
	So what happens if Trump wins?
	And let's say Trump wins a narrow victory.
	Do you think they're just going to sit there and accept it?
	For the honor of the tradition of accepting election results.
	They've got themselves convinced because of their own polls that they're looking at a landslide of goldwater proportions here.
	They think Hillary may get 500 electoral votes.
	If Trump folks, there'll be rioting.
	The election night.
	And we will witness the dignified and accepting tradition of going with the outcome of an election, as we have come to expect.
	By the way, James O'Keefe, Project Veritas, actually got a New York election official to admit how they engage in voter fraud in New York, where they win everything anyway.
	It's a Democrat election official, and he happily explains how they cheat in an undercover video.
	Okay.
	Even they win everything in New York, Republicans may as well not even exist there.
	Okay, to the phones we go.
	Joe in San Antonio, Texas.
	I'm glad you waited, sir.
	You're next on Open Line Friday.
	Hi.
	Oh, thank you, sir.
	U.S. Air Force retired uh Apple fanboy Rush 24-7 Ditto to you.
	Well, you got it covered.
	You do.
	Congratulations.
	Thank you very much.
	Oh, thank you.
	And uh, you know, with listening to you discuss uh Mr. Kramer's uh prison uh biography or prison uh effort at uh a psychological operation up against the U.S. uh population, and I thought, you know, notoriously those kind of things are are hard to control.
	And if it's been going on since a Linsky time, it also occurred to me that some of this stuff might actually account for the rise in popularity of talk radio, or as you would like to say, my beloved uh little fuzzball of a host.
	Harmless, lovable little fuzzball of a host, yes.
	How's that?
	How do you figure that?
	Well, if there's uh people attempting to resist the psychological operation, and they're uh trying to find uh trying to find uh a voice that sounds like theirs or what they're thinking, that's been a comment that a lot of your listeners say a lot is that I turned on your radio and I'm listening to you because you found you say the things that I've been thinking, and I can't find them anywhere else.
	No, that's true.
	That especially was it was true in the first five years, ten years of the program.
	It's exactly right.
	People felt that what they already believed was being validated by somebody on the radio saying it's his his point here, he's he's talking about uh, folks, the uh uh pamphlet that was a little book written by the convicted felon and Democrat,
	Robert Kramer this is the guy that went to the White House 340 times met with Obama over 40 times this is the guy that bought and paid the homeless and other mobsters to show up at Trump rallies and start fights set fires outside to make it look like it was Trump supporters doing this.
	He wrote a piece in a Democrat playbook back in 2007 expressing that the objective was psychological, was to make conservatives feel woefully outnumbered and turn inward and defeatist and fatalistic, hopeless, that they were so rare, that there were so few conservatives, they're just so wild.
	widely outnumbered that you just give up and then that creates so much unrest that conservatives start fighting amongst themselves over who's to blame for losing so badly to the left and he says it's all a technique and I don't want to spend any time on that now you can find that at Rushlimbaug.com it was the first hour of the program today find it on the website because it's really really worth if you missed it it's worth knowing and
	understand explains everything and I've known it was going long instinctively for all of these years and this was confirmation why I spent so much time on it today.
	Here next is Ron in Tucson you're next sir high yes good morning Mr Limbaugh thank you for taking my call you bet, sir I have a number of points to make I don't know if you're gonna give me enough time but in any case I would like to start with Hillary Clinton why should we believe Hillary Clinton that the Russians are meddling in the American election when she lied to us in the regard to Benghazi when she told us uh
	one story and she told the real story to her daughter and to other head officials.
	That's item number one.
	It's a good point.
	Item number two.
	If anybody is meddling in the election, believe it or not, America has meddled in the Israeli election when the White House and the State Department sent millions upon millions of dollars to Israel to be against Bibi Netanyahu.
	This is true.
	His regime and to vote against Bibi Netanyahu.
	He sent advisors, the White House sent advisors to Israel not to vote for Bibi Netanyahu.
	Now, that's another thing.
	One more item that I would like to make a point, and that is on the Second Amendment.
	If Hillary wants to take away our Second Amendment, the right to have guns, why shouldn't she take away also our pants, scissors, kitchen detergent, drain oil?
	All of those things they can kill.
	So it's about time.
	Therefore, you left out the wheel.
	The wheel kills more people than any gun ever has.
	Yeah.
	You know, if we, the Jews, during World War II, we would have weapons, probably the outcome would be much different than it actually was.
	Very true.
	Very true.
	And if people had gotten with the program a little sooner.
	Well, look, Ron, I appreciate it.
	You got it all in.
	You got it all in.
	You were worried that I wouldn't give you enough time, but you have the gift of brevity and a soul of wit, and so you made it within the constraints of the process.
	programming format with time to spare well done he's right it was the Obama campaign team that was dispatched to Israel with money and expertise designed to overthrow Prime Minister Binyaman Netanyahu and now my friends on a brief timeout and we return after this By the way, here's another question.
	I if if it apparently so easy for the Russians to hack the Democrat National Committee server, and so easy for the Russians to hack John Podesta's email, why didn't Hillary use a secure server, one of the States Department?
	Why did she use one of these basement home brew jobs if the Russians are so damn good at hacking everything?
