Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Hey, you know what they're not talking about on CNN today?
The election.
And Trump.
They're barely mentioning it.
Not a surprise, eh?
They gave it everything they had, folks.
They gave it everything they had as usual.
Everything they said was wrong.
Everything backfired on them.
It was Hillary who had more faithless electors than Trump did.
It was Hillary who had more people attempting to abandon her than Trump did.
I told you yesterday, I wanted you to think back when this was all over, think back to the last three or four weeks of media coverage of this and measure it against what really happened and get a good idea while it's fresh on your mind of how you've literally been misled and taken down the wrong path, and maybe some might even say lied to.
Great to have you with us, folks.
It's Rush Limbaugh here at 800 282-2882, the email address, Ilrushbo at EIB net.us.
So Hillary Clinton has lost the presidency again.
She's now a four-time loser.
She lost in 2008.
You know, Hillary Clinton is a racist, too.
She tried to deny a black guy his one try at the White House, it'd be Obama, and then she tried to stop a Jewish guy, Bernie Sanders this year.
And so I would say she's getting her just desserts.
Yeah, I know she was a woman, but so what could somebody explain to me?
You know, there's so many things that that that popped into my mind last night.
Where D did this presumption originate?
Where does it come from?
The presumption of people to believe that Hillary Clinton was electable.
Simply because.
Why?
Why was she considered to be electable?
Would somebody explain to me?
At the Democrat convention, there's Obama up there telling everybody that there's never been anybody more qualified to be president than Hillary Clinton.
And he looked out in the audience and Bill Clinton was out there and he said, Bill, you may not want to admit this, but you gotta agree with me.
She's better than you.
She's better than me.
She more qual what in the name of Sam Hill?
Where does this come from?
What was it about Mrs. Clinton that said she was electable?
And then all through the campaign, when the evidence was clear that she was not exciting people, that she was not stirring people up, that she was not creating any loyalty.
I mean, you look at the Democrat primaries, and Bernie Sanders was cleaning her clock.
And yet after every primary, or vast majority of them, that she lost, she ends up with a greater delegate count than Crazy Bernie.
Because we know now that was rigged.
We know now that don't know who the Russians are working with on that one, but but the Democrat primary was rigged against Crazy Bernie, and we now know this because of the wiki leaks.
Emails, Podesta DNC, Debbie Blabbermaus Schultz and all that.
But why was it ever presumed?
We put because folks, this is an interesting question to me because we had to deal with this for you youngsters out there that may not be aware, we've got to deal with this for 1992.
1992, we've had to sit here and listen to people on the left tell us that there's no greater potential president and leader than Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Yet everything she touched ended up being damaged.
She was the first to try national health care, was called Hillary Care.
It ended in an embarrassing implosion.
She ran the bimbo eruptions operation as senator from New York.
She didn't do much.
And in even when she senator in New York, we have Republicans running around saying there's nobody more qualified than Hillary Clinton to be in this body.
And I'm sitting on scratching my head.
What is this?
It isn't real.
So what's behind this?
So when she was in the Senate, even Republican, boy, we had a great ally in Hillary.
Oh man, oh man.
There's nobody more qualified to be in the Senate than Hillary Clinton.
And she didn't do anything remarkable.
Then she loses the presidency in 2008 and becomes Secretary of State.
We all know what a disaster that was.
And then here comes 2016 was supposed to be her coronation, and we know how that went.
She just has not ever lived up to Any of these expectations.
So what is it?
I mean, there has to be an answer to this.
Why did the Democrat Party throw all of its eggs into her basket?
They started out 2008 that way, and then somebody came along that they much preferred.
I mean, it wasn't even it wasn't even close.
The first opportunity they had to choose somebody else.
This case it was Obama.
They made the choice.
They threw her overboard and they threw her under the bus.
They did both of them.
Every chance they got.
So when 2016 came around, they rigged the game so that that couldn't happen.
And Hillary's out there raising all this money from all these foreign entities as an insurance policy, selling her presidency on the cum, as it were, and they they do everything to freeze any potential Obamas in 2016 out.
Who in the middle of first debate realized he was in the wrong party in the wrong city and maybe at the wrong time.
I mean, he got out of that contest as quickly as he could.
Here he's saying intelligent, reasonable things, and the stupid idiot hacks in the audience are booing him off the stage.
So it's down to Bernie and Hillary.
And we know what happened.
They rigged a game against him so that nobody could come along who was much more preferable and desirable.
And once again, send her packing, and they stuck with her and look what happened.
And all of this presumption carried throughout the campaign.
That she was going to win, that she was going to win big, that Trump, we even were told that Hillary's campaign made sure that Trump won the Republican nomination because Trump was going to be the easiest guy to snowball, that Trump was a walking disaster, that Trump was, I mean, couldn't get 20% of the vote, the greatest thing in the world.
Hillary so believed it she didn't even campaign.
She didn't even put much into this.
She wasn't on the scene much, partly because she couldn't draw a crowd anywhere she went anyway.
She can't deliver a campaign speech.
She never had a message.
And yet during all of this, we kept hearing how there's nobody better.
And there is nobody more qualified.
And there's nobody more deserving.
And to me, all she is is the wife of somebody.
You take that away from her resume, and who is she and where is she?
If she hadn't married Bill Clinton and gone to Arkansas and then tried to take over everywhere that guy went, where would she be today?
I mean, the point of this is look, look at what we have been.
We have been presented a faux pas, a picture of lies, distortions for the last whatever how many years ago it was, 1992?
24?
Something like that, whatever it is, and it's just stunning.
And so now four times Mrs. Clinton has lost.
And I want to know today, last night, after the electoral vote count was official.
Have you noticed, no matter where you go, you could go to the New York Times, you could go to the Washington Post, you could turn on the CNN, you could turn on MSNBC.
You could read any or watch any drive-by media outlet.
You know what you would hear?
Well, Hillary was a bad candidate, and we all knew it.
You did?
You all knew Hillary was a bad candidate?
Because they're all saying that last night and today, you know, in their postmortems.
Do you realize the shock, folks?
I mean, these people live the lie, and they really thought that there was going to be an elector revolt against Trump.
They really did.
They had talked themselves into it, and then they wake up and find out that there were many more faithless electors who wanted no part of Hillary than Trump.
Stunning.
And Hillary would have lost even more than five electors.
I think Trump lost two.
Hillary lost five, and she would have lost even more than those five.
If it hadn't been for local authorities and several states forcing the electors to vote for her, or in some cases, replacing her faithless electors with electors who would vote for her.
Isn't that telling?
And on top of that, we're now hearing that the five Hillary electors who ended up not voting for her are Probably facing criminal charges, including perjury.
And all of this was supposed to happen.
Michael Moore promising to pay whatever fines and serve any jail time for electors that abandoned Trump.
And it didn't happen.
I get, I think we're like we're watching the three stooges here, or the Keystone Cops or the Democrats are wild E. Coyote and Trump is the uh the roadrunner.
I mean, everything, you know, the Democrats go out and buy the latest greatest mo from the Acme production company.
It's supposed to kill Trump, and the anvil ends up dropping on their head from atop the cliff.
Like it did on the poor old coyote.
Everything just seems to be backfiring.
And it is delicious to see.
But I'm not, I don't want to spend too much time gloating because these things are cyclical.
And they do tend to come around.
But I mean, this is sweet justice, folks.
Every bit of this.
I mean, to just realize how much they thought they had this, they really do.
There are a lot of people.
Do not doubt me.
Snerdley just asked me, did they really think this electoral thing was going to happen?
Some of them did.
And by that by means, I'm talking about some of your average ordinary, everyday Democrat voters.
The Upper West Side of Manhattan out in Hollywood really thought there was something to that because they remember that video, led by Martin Sheen and a bunch of other celebrities nobody's ever heard of.
They think that stuff matters.
They think people live and die by what they say.
Celebrity opinions are how many people make up their minds, according to these people.
And that video, why that was gonna do it, and then Michael Moore out there promising to pay whatever it was going to cost.
And the media for crying out loud.
If you, if you did nothing but read the New York Times or watch CNN, you thought it was a legitimate thing that could happen, didn't you?
The way they were touting it, the guests they had talking about it.
I'm telling you, the drive-by media made their viewers and readers think that this thing had legs.
That's why there were tantrums thrown yesterday.
We've got some audio sound, but this is hilarious.
Deranged lunatic women just losing their minds over the vote.
You tell you don't think they thought it was real and was that nutty women, let me give you three or three more nutty women.
There are three psychiatry professors at Harvard who sent a letter to Obama demanding that Obama sub force Trump to submit to a neuropsychological exam.
They sent Obama the letter.
Who is it that's mentally ill here?
Trump or these people on the left?
I submit to you, Trump is not mentally ill.
People on the lip.
My little tech bloggers, folks, they've just given up on everything now.
They did they're upset because all the tech CEOs actually met with Trump and didn't tell him to go to hell.
So now they think their tech CEO buddies have sold them all out and are on the side of big oil and big pharma.
This is just too juicy.
The Wall Street Journal editorial.
No, no, I'll get I'll get to the shrink story in due course.
I've got it here all lined up and ready to go.
The New York, uh, the Wall Street Journal editorial, Hamilton's electors vote Trump.
The pressure campaign fails, but Clinton has more faithless electors.
What is meant here by Hamilton's electors fail?
I'll explain this very, very enjoyably, my friend.
What is the hottest Broadway production at the moment?
Hamilton.
As we have known, the cast of Hamilton doesn't even know who he is, other than the way he's portrayed in the lines they recite and the songs they sing in the musical.
They really don't know who he is.
If they knew if they actually knew who Alexander Hamilton was, they would realize that Donald Trump is not that far from Alexander Hamilton on something as key as illegal immigration.
But liberals, ladies and friends, uh ladies and gentlemen, are by definition ignorant of American history.
They haven't been taught it.
They have been taught a version of American history written by a textbook author by the name of Howard Zinn, who is essentially a Marxist in Howard Zinn history textbooks are anti American.
If your kid is in a uh a school where Howard Zinn books are being used for history, you better find out about it quick and then go out and buy the Rush Revere Time Travel Adventures with Exceptional American series to counter it.
Because I'm not making it up.
Howard Zinn is a disaster.
But these liberals, they don't know what American history is.
And so pop culture replaces genuine historical knowledge.
So Hamilton is the great big thing right now in pop culture.
And therefore Hamilton's a hero because the cast of Hamilton told Mike Pence to go to hell.
And so that makes Hamilton a great guy, and everybody who believes in Hamlet a great guy.
So they really believed that the cast of Hamilton telling off Mike Pence was gonna affect things.
They are so susceptible, they are so wired in, they are so tied to pop culture, and so ignorant of American history that they really thought using Alexander Hamilton's name in their hissy fit over the electoral college would be effective.
I mean, Martin Sheen and that bunch of celebrities in that embarrassing video did, and as Alexander Hamilton.
And all they're trying to do is capitalize on what they think is the hottest Broadway production in America.
And it may well be, but 99.9% of America has not seen it.
But yet they think their world is the world, and so if they've all seen Hamilton and all of their friends have seen Hamilton, then everybody who matters has seen Hamilton, and therefore that means that Hamilton being opposed to Trump and the Hamilton cast being opposed to Trump means that's how we drum up anti-Trump support.
They live in delusions.
They live in a cocoon that is a genuine fantasy that specifically prohibits anything they don't know or don't believe from permeating.
See what's the next year?
Jonathan Martin, our old buddy at the New York Times.
A tweet.
After all that pressure from the left on Republicans, more Democrat electors defected from Hillary than Republicans did Trump.
Yes, it has to hurt.
Martin Sheen led that parade in nobody's asking, begging electors not to cast their vote for Trump was a heartfelt and highly produced effort.
It led to more electors defecting from Hillary.
The great thing is that the people the left thinks have great influence over people, do, except not the influence they want.
Martin Sheen produces the video, and a lot of electors say, I am not abandoning Trump specifically because you, Sheen, are involved.
You're a nut, you're a fruit case.
You're a wacko that used to sleep on sewer grates to show how celebrities you were with homelessness.
And people don't forget this stuff.
Anyway, for I take a brief break here, right in the middle of a pretty good rant, which kind of ticks me off, too, but I have to do it.
I'll be right back.
So what I want to know is when are they going to demand a recount of the electoral college vote?
How much time do they have for that before it goes to the House?
I think they've got until January 6th.
What?
You don't think they would do that?
Probably not, but I mean I wouldn't be surprised.
I mean, there's so many local weeds on on the in the Democrat side right now.
They really, really have just been gobsmacked and discombobulated.
Um I also, folks, I mean, look.
Uh I don't understand why people are so surprised that Hillary would have more faithless electors than Trump.
I mean, why would Hillary expect electors to be faithful to her?
Her husband hasn't been.
She's the most cheated on woman in America.
I mean, in many ways, she's a sympathetic figure.
She does things that engender intense dislike, but in certain things she's uh she's sympathetic.
Our old buddy Jonathan Martin at the New York Times.
He's I I get an email from him which heralds the arrival of his latest published piece in the New York Times.
He used to be at the political, and he'd send me emails about football games during the season as a precursor to asking my opinion on a political question.
And the email subject line is the election is officially over.
But the resistance is only just getting started.
Elections over, but the resistance.
We have a resistance now.
We have we have dissidents.
And it is only just getting started.
Now the Democrats must determine how to confront Trump when every House is burning down, meaning every Democrat House is burning down.
And Jonathan Martin's actual story headline, Electoral College settles Donald Trump victory, but little else.
Really?
Didn't settle much?
You know what else is probably going to happen?
Some deranged little leftist millennial snowflake out there is going to be all a Twitter and demand that the Electoral College lose its official accreditation and that all degrees from the place now be made invalid.
You wait.
I wouldn't be surprised if some little liberal kid starts making such claims, being as ignorant as they are.
Time to hit Oh, one other thing.
Kellyanne Conway got a question the other day about when is Trump going to start reaching out to the people who opposed him?
When is Donald Trump going to offer the hand of friendship to the people he's vanquished?
May I ask a simple little question?
Why is that Trump's responsibility?
You know, only in liberalism do the victors have to reach out to the losers when the losers are the liberals.
It's not up to Trump to reach out to them.
They've done their level best, which has been pretty pathetic to deny him the presidency all during the campaign and now during all these recounts, and now during this electoral college move, this embarrassingly futile effort that they engaged in.
So who is it that needs to apologize to who?
Who is it that needs to reach out to who and ask for forgiveness?
In my mind, it certainly isn't Donald Trump.
And the AP, folks, the AP, like I told you earlier today.
I've been watching CNN all morning, and there's nothing about Trump on there anymore.
There's nothing about the election.
It's like they threw everything they had into this electoral college revolt, and it says it's failed.
Why on CNN, there may not have even been an election.
And we may not even have a president elect.
They haven't talked about Trump all day.
They're talking about Germany, they're talking about this new investigation of the search warrant for the Clinton emails.
They're talking about how unfair life has been to Barack and Michelle Obama, but they're not talking about Trump.
And the AP.
Here's their headline.
Trump cruises to Electoral College victory despite protests.
Despite protests.
You know, folks, I'm gonna tell you something else.
I think this'll never happen.
But something that would improve the overall national mood is if protesters, leftist protesters, were ignored, just not covered.
Now I know that'll never happen because leftist protesters are part of the media, they're part of the Democrat Party, but stop and think about it a minute.
Whenever, you know, you can have 15,000 people inside a Trump rally, you have five people outside.
What's the news?
Five people protested the Donald Trump rally today in Orlando.
And that's the same thing here.
Donald Trump won the presidency officially, the electoral college vote yesterday despite protesters.
The protesters protested Hillary.
She had more faithless electors than Trump did.
But these people pop up out of nowhere and start protesting, and they keep this country roiled and on edge because the media always sides with them and makes these leftist protesters out to be representatives of the majority of thinking in this country, and they're not.
They are a minuscule speck that you couldn't see if it weren't for the media.
Nobody would even know they're there if it weren't for the media, and yet they are treated and portrayed as though they represent, if not a majority, at least half of the country.
So the audio sound bites now, a little uh reverie here.
This is Scott Pelley.
Scott Pelley, CBS News, CBS Evening News, Scott Pilly, 60 Minutes CBS evening news tonight on the CBS Evening News.
What might have been Hillary Clinton just it's a horrible, horrible day.
We have breaking news tonight in politics.
Late today, Donald Trump was elected president of the United States.
Oh no, what we've known for weeks was made official this evening as members of the Electoral College cast their ballots in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
A few electors switched their votes from Trump, and some abandoned Hillary Clinton.
But as the votes were counted today, Texas put Trump over the top with more than 270 votes needed to win.
Try 304.
See, this is exactly what everybody's talking about.
A few electors switched their votes from Trump, and some abandoned Hillary.
No, no, no.
Many more electors abandoned Hillary Trump Hillary Clinton then switched from Donald Trump.
We have breaking news tonight in politics late today.
Donald Trump was elected president.
People are so pathetic.
What we've known for weeks was made official this evening as members of the Electoral College cast their ballots.
Donald Trump was elected president.
Damn it.
Despite our best efforts, Hillary Clinton lost again for the fourth time in each year's modern-day presidential record.
We at CBS News are going to ignore.
And here, a primal scream, the greatest illustration of the absolute loss of mind and the special kind of stupid that has infected your average, ordinary liberal Democrat millennial.
This was yesterday in Madison, Wisconsin, during the Electoral College vote for president.
The electors meeting chairman Brad Courtney, he's also the Republican chairman, announcing the results of the vote, followed by an unidentified, deranged woman, and several others protesting the results.
The votes are ten votes, Donald J. Trump.
You don't deserve to be in America, James!
Just deny America!
Deny America!
America!
Take me out of your face!
This is my America.
Am I bad for laughing at that?
They did not America's game, game, game.
They did not You know, actually, when you get right down to it, folks, I feel sorry for these people.
Look at how their lives have been ruined by the way they've been educated.
Look at how their futures are desolate because of what they've been taught.
These people are the product of an education presented to them by a bunch of miserable, unhappy, constantly angry intellectuals and elites, who have created an army of mind-numbed, ill-educated robots who will spend the rest of their lives miserable and unhappy, unsatisfied.
And it has been done on purpose.
Are you born this way?
Did this poor woman come out of the womb thinking what she thinks today?
Did do the tech bloggers That I love to follow, who hate big oil, who hate big pharma.
Were they born hating big oil?
Were they born hating capitalism?
Were they born hating profit?
No.
It had to be inculcated.
They had to be programmed, they had to be propagandized, they had to be indoctrinated.
And these people are ruining these kids' lives when you get right down to it.
That is why I hope, folks, you heard this call yesterday.
This was, this may be the best Christmas present of the year.
We had a call from a guy in Fort Worth who mentors disadvantaged young people.
And he told the story of a 10-year-old generational poverty-stricken kid that he encountered in school, 10 years old, fifth grade.
Comes from a family of, I don't know, seven or eight kids and a mom and dad, but they're in generational poverty.
And this kid had no reason to live.
The kid had no purpose, according to the caller, he had no passions.
There was nothing when he got up every day that drove him.
There was no interest in anything.
He was just kids like that that our caller identifies and mentors and tries to save.
And in this case, the reason he was calling was to tell me that he had given this 10-year-old, this fifth grader, a copy of my first book for young people, Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims.
And the purpose of his call was to tell me how it changed this young man's life, because it introduced him to something as simple as history.
Not even the concept of history had been indelled into this young kid.
I mean, I can't imagine this.
I mean, at 10 years old, not to even have a consciousness of what might have happened before you were born, or the kid had literally no awareness.
And so the man who called, the mentor, made this young kid a project, and it just happened.
It wasn't the objective was not to give him the book.
It's just one of the things that happened in the process of inventoring it.
The kid just glommed on to the book and loves it and reads it over and over again and has now become passionate about American history.
And this man was calling yesterday to say that that book may have forever changed this young kid's life.
Because up till then, there was no interest, there was no passion, not even for sports, there was nothing that lit the kids' fire until the Rush Revere Time Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans first book, Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims.
And I was so floored listening to this, I don't recall the exact way I handled it because I didn't know what to say.
I was stymied.
I was, I mean, deeply moved.
And so this kid, because of this mentor, has a chance.
This kid has a chance to learn that there are things to live for, that there are an endless, there is an endless world of possibilities out there.
But the way he's been raised in generational poverty, there is nothing positive in terms of reinforcement in his life at all.
So he gets this book and it opens the world up to him.
Well, I contend to you that there are a lot of people to one degree or another just like that kid, and they are the product of propagandists and indoctrination specialists at school who raised them to hate America, who raise them to be suspicious of America and be suspicious of anybody who has any money, to be suspicious of anybody who's successful.
It's got to be crushing.
But you know, the human being Is unique in all of mammaldom.
The one member of the species that has to be raised, that has to be taught right from wrong, that has to be shown the direction in life.
It has to be instructed in such things as morality.
It's probably accurate to say that most other mammals don't even have much of a self-awareness.
And it has been said that we are the only species that is aware that we will die someday.
And yet we slog on.
We are born, and shortly thereafter we learn that we're going to die.
But it doesn't send us into a cocoon where we're hiding from the world.
We go ahead and we live an attack with the full knowledge that someday we're going to die.
A dog, a cat, a blue whale, what they have the slightest idea.
Meaning we are, when we are born, we are just literally skulls full of mush.
And we are totally dependent on love, protection, guidance if we are to have a chance in the world.
This is one of the reasons why so many sociologists try to convince as many people as possible that the nuclear family unit is the absolute best way to raise kids, a mom and a dad in the house.
Well, not everybody has a mom and a dad.
They're single fathers, single mothers, and of course they have become now a political issue into and under themselves, and they themselves are the product of what I believe to be a fraudulent education.
So this young woman in Madison, Wisconsin, who's making an utter fool of hers.
James James, this is not American!
She didn't come out of the womb thinking this.
She wasn't born hating her country.
She wasn't born suspecting her country.
She wasn't born hating Republicans or conservatives.
He had to be taught.
I mentioned earlier today, ladies and gentlemen, that the news network CNN is not even talking about Donald Trump today.
And they're not even talking about the electoral college.
They reported the results.
I think they did that for the most part last night.
They're not talking about it today.
And there's a lesson there.
I mean, they don't do news.
There is no news in the media today.
There is only the next phase of the Democrat agenda.
And the phase that they were all invested in was an electoral college upset.
It bombed out, it didn't work, so there will not be any reporting on how it failed.
They'll just report like Scott Pilly did.
Breaking news, Donald Trump was elected president last night, and they move on.
Well, there's a new phase beginning, depending on where you look.
The politico has a piece where now people are starting to blame Hillary.
With Donald Trump poised to win a majority of electoral college vote, Democrat leaders of an anti-Trump effort expressed anger and frustration toward Hillary and her top allies, insisting that their silence had all but doomed the long-shot plan to thwart Trump's election.
This story maintains that Hillary Clinton sat idly by while her loyalists were doing everything they could to steal the election from Trump at the Electoral College.
And Hillary Clinton didn't do anything to help them.
And therefore she is to blame for that effort failing.
One Democrat elector with Clinton campaign ties claimed that dozens of Democrats in the Electoral College were willing to embrace the unprecedented plan to throw their votes to a consensus Republican candidate like Mint Romney as part of a strategy to coax Republican electors to abandon Trump.
All they needed was a signal from Hillary or her top advisors.
But the Hillary would not play.
A signal of disapproval would have ended the effort weeks ago, but they now they're starting to dump on Hillary for the failure Of the Electoral College.
It won't be long before they start blaming her for the presidential loss.
These things happen in stages.
And now that the finality of the defeat is in, I guarantee you, all these other Democrats are not going to take the hit.
Hillary and Bill are gone.
Everybody's going to be dumping on them as they move forward.
Quick time out, my friends.
Back in a second.
Ready for this?
Hillary Clinton lost the most electors of any candidate in 100 years, more faithless electors.
And it makes sense, the most cheated on woman in America.
But you never learn this at CNN.
You know what CNN?
We're just covering the missing Malaysian airliner.
