RUSH: I tell you what I would do, and I would have already done it, but since it isn't done already, here's what I would do. I'd call Obama and I'd call Hillary, and I'd say, "You're gonna shut this stuff down. You're gonna stop it right now. It's your people doing this. And if you don't shut it down, I'm going to, and I'm gonna call every law enforcement department all over this country where these riots are taking place, and I'm gonna tell 'em I got their backs after I'm inaugurated."
You believe the hypocrisy here? These people, you know, eight years ago I came on the air here and I said, "I hope he fails," and now we've got even liberals on the audio sound bites admitting they knew what I meant, led by Bill Maher. They knew what I meant because now they knew they're engaging in hypocrisy. I said, "I hope he fails." Meaning I do not want his policy implemented, socialism and all that sort of stuff.
Now these protesters and rioters are being lionized and celebrated as great Americans. And what are they hoping for? They are openly hoping the Trump presidency fails. I never said that about Obama. I didn't want anything but his policies to fail to be implemented. But these people who excoriated me all over this country for four years, and in fact some continue to, now hypocritically look the other way and claim that these protesters and rioters are legitimate and all that. And they're bought and paid for. They are bused in.
I've got three different websites which have pictures of lines of buses, 10 to 15 buses in Chicago and in other places where these people are bought. They're the same people that show up at Black Lives Matter protests. They're the same people that showed up in Ferguson, in Baltimore, you name it.
Anyway, greetings, my friends, great to have you, Rush Limbaugh here behind the Golden EIB Microphone. 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
The reason Obama and Hillary are not gonna shut it down is they love it. Obama loves the look and he loves the media telling everybody that the country is objecting to the election results. And the election results, ladies and gentlemen, let me remind you again, and I'm not, by the way, angry or in a bad mood. I'm loving every minute of this. But I do think it's time to knock some heads. And the fact is the Democrat Party was totally repudiated. And I am gratified I have found two substantive news stories now documenting that which I already told you last week.
The repudiation of the Democrat Party starting with the midterms in 2010 has been profound. They are at their weakest they have been since the 1920s. Even George Will is now on board with Trump now that he's realized what happened. George Will, oh, yeah, all of a sudden now conservatives get to appoint the Supreme Court for 25 years. Conservatives get to do this or that. He's done a 180 on this.
This election is a great illustration of reality versus mirage and illusion. The media, for eight years, and the Democrat Party for eight years has been acting and thus apparently convincing a lot of people on our side that we have lost the country. That we are in the minority, that we're outnumbered, and big time outnumbered, and we are dwindling away to nothing. That the transformation of the country was well underway and nothing could stop it.
And it was not happening. It wasn't even close to happening. We could have defeated Obama in 2012, and we maybe could have in 2008, but that's a big "maybe" not worth reprosecuting at this point. The truth of the matter is it's the Democrat that is the minority. We have been governed by a dwindling minority for the last eight years, made to look like a supermajority trending up.
I'm gonna go through the numbers and the details again to remind everybody about just how deeply the Democrat Party has sunk and how they have just been shellacked and how Obama's specific policies were reputed in this election. Therefore these people protesting and whining and moaning and crying about things need to be told to grow up real fast.
They are not the majority and they never have been the majority of people in this country. That's why we're gonna start hearing about the tyranny of the majority pretty soon and the rights of the minority pretty soon. This is how the Democrats and the left always portray this when they lose elections. But it is really bad, the circumstances for the Democrat Party.
Now, I don't mean anybody to assume from this that they're gonna slink away and go away. Quite the contrary. They're going to continue to try to present the illusion that they are the majority and they got shafted, and one of the ways they do that is with the popular vote versus the electoral vote. So let me remind you of some things about that, because I want you people fully confident. I want you armed to the hilt with data and information. I don't want you wavering on anything.
You have to promise me, you're not gonna waver, you're not gonna go wobbly in the knees. You're not gonna get weak on me out there. You're not gonna fall prey to the usual tricks and practices implemented by the left and the Democrat Party. You are the majority. We won the election and it was huge. And the Democrat Party's losses are deep and significant and for a long time.
These losses have been occurring over a long number of years. It didn't just happen with this election. The left knows it, and the Democrat Party knows it, but coming to grips with it is another thing. They are used to living illusions. They are used to spreading illusions, delusions, and all of this, and they will continue.
So let's look at the popular vote versus the Electoral College. They're trying to tell us that some states still haven't been called and we're gonna end up winning, they say, the popular vote by a significant number of votes, which they are going to try to say delegitimizes Trump's presidency, and they're going to use that to try to deny every Trump policy initiative on the basis that in terms of the population of the country, he was rejected. So we need to get rid of the Electoral College and all this.
I don't think that's gonna hold up. The first reason I don't think it's gonna hold up is this -- and I made this prediction last week, and I made the prediction based on some early data I had seen. It's gonna be awhile before we actually have the total vote count. And the reason for that is that the Obama forces are still out there trying to massage the results so that they can get this popular vote majority that they want. Make no mistake about it.
So my prediction is that when all of the votes are counted, we're going to find that a significant number of illegal immigrants voted. I wouldn't be surprised if the number is as high as two million illegal immigrants. And when this all happens, it's going to be quite clear that Trump won the popular vote as well. Mark my words on this. As usual, don't doubt me.
But there's even more. Let's say let's say, for example, that we didn't have the Electoral College and the popular vote mattered, do you realize how that would have changed the entire campaign? It would have made states like New York and California automatically in play. They're not now. Trump didn't spend any time in California, very little time in New York because there was no point. If every Republican in both states votes for you you have no prayer of winning the popular vote there, and therefore you have no way of winning the electoral votes from those states, so those states automatically go Democrat.
But what if there was no Electoral College? The campaign would have been much different. You wouldn't have had nearly as much time spent in North Carolina. You wouldn't have had nearly as much time spent in Wisconsin by Trump or Michigan or Ohio or some of these rust belt states. You would have Trump going with the people were. He would have gone to New York. He would have gone to California. He may not have needed to win the state, but if the popular vote were all that counted, he could have easily won this election by simply changing focus.
The same thing for the Democrats. You know, Hillary did not even go to Wisconsin? Hillary spent all of her time assuming the blue wall, assuming the blue states were gonna come through for her and then she spent some time in what she thought were battleground states, but without the Electoral College there's no such thing essentially as a battleground state. They're battleground states simply because of the Electoral College. But if it's popular vote only, can you imagine if Trump had spent all the time in those states that he spent there in California?
My point is that you can't automatically conclude that if the Electoral College is thrown out, that Hillary would have won because the campaign would have been entirely different. And I'm gonna go with the assumption that Trump would have won either way, because Trump won. He won as the election had to be contested. Where Trump had to go and where Trump had to win, Trump did. And they can't take that away from him and they're trying to with this Electoral College BS.
But let me give you another analogy. This one I like. It's not a hundred percent, but it is close. To all of you Democrats talking about your popular vote victory, I'd like to talk to you about the 1960 World Series, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Yankees. Many people believe that it was one of the greatest World Series ever played. Game 1, the Pirates, 6-4. Game 2, the Yankees, 16-3. Game 3 in New York City, 10 to zip, Yankees. Game 4, 3-2 Pittsburgh. Game 5, 5-2 Pittsburgh. Game 6, 12 to nothing Yankees. Game 7, 10-9 Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh won four games. The Yankees won three. But wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let's not look at it as how many games the Pirates won. Let's look at it a different way. The Yankees outscored the Pirates 55-27 in those seven games. The New York Yankees hit .338 in those seven games. The Pittsburgh Pirates batted a measly .256. So on paper the New York Yankees just skunked the Pittsburgh Pirates, 55 runs to 27, 55 votes to 27 votes, but the Pirates won the World Series because they won the games they had to win. They won four out of seven.
So you could say that the Yankees in this analogy won the popular vote 55 runs to 27. That's how you score who wins in baseball. But they didn't win it, did they? They lost the World Series, despite playing much better, hitting better. But there were four games that they didn't win. Any number of ways that you can look at all of this, ladies and gentlemen. The bottom line is Trump won this election. He was going to win the election no matter how it was contested. This, to me, has proven to be indisputable. So all of these bought-and-paid-for protests -- we know these protests are bought and paid for.
Now, that's not to say that there are some truly distraught people out there. And to the people who are truly distraught and feeling just lost, I can't tell you how sorry I feel for these people. But the reason I feel sorry for 'em is because what has turned them out this way. Who made them this way? How in the world is it that adults young and old still act like five and six-year-olds when they don't get their way. Why is it that losing an election is causing a genuine meltdown in some people in such fashion that they're unable to cope. They're unable to get out of bed and function as human beings.
I submit to you they weren't born this way. They were raised this way, and they were educated this way, and it is a shame that this has happened, and it's worse than a shame because this has been done on purpose. The fearmongering of the Democrat Party, you know, climate change is the best example I can give you of the success of the fearmongering of the Democrat Party. John Kerry, the haughty John Kerry who once served in Vietnam, now the secretary of state, he went down to Antarctica last week. I was reading my tech blogs, and a bunch of them were dead serious when they said at least he got to go before it melted.
Antarctica is not melting. We actually are a in a dramatic cooling trend worldwide right now. There certainly isn't any warming, but these people believe it. They really, really believe that the earth is not going to be around in such a shape that they will be able to live on it in like 20 or 30 years, they really believe this, enough of them do. This is just utterly irresponsible. Now we have people out there claiming that the Trump election stands for some of the worst racism and bigotry the world has ever known in the United States of America.
We have papers like USA Today and others claiming that this is just no good, why, Trump represents a revival of Western values. Damn right he does! Western civilization is what made the greatest superpower in the history of superpowers. Western civilization has fed the world. Western civilization has clothed the world. Western civilization has given the world its morality and its laws. Western civilization is one of the greatest things that ever happened to humanity in the history of humanity. But the people on the left, no, no, no, no, it's racist, sexist, bigoted, and homophobic.
I believe the vast majority of these people protesting are bought and paid for as the Project Veritas videos proved. It was the Hillary campaign buying and paying protesters to disrupt Trump rallies. The same thing is happening here, and it happens every time they don't get their way. And they're always called great patriots by the media. They're always called great, great citizens practicing the fine, time-honored practice of dissent, when it's nothing of the sort. I'm telling you, if I'm Trump, I call Obama and Hillary, and I say, "You shut this down, 'cause this is not good for the country, and these people are out living an illusion, presenting a false illusion, and there's nothing great about this, there's nothing unifying about this. There's absolutely nothing good that can come of this, and you shut it down or I will."
I don't expect Trump to do that, but that's what I would do. And if Trump called me and asked me what he should do, that's what I would tell him. One of the reasons Trump got elected is this kind of stuff been going on for the last eight years. This is one of the reasons he got elected. People are fed up with it. This is not helpful, it's not useful, and it's not morally superior to anything going on out there. It's destructive. It's actually taking young skulls full of mush and polluting them with ruinous ideas, personally ruinous and destructive ideas. There's no link to the great dissent and protests of the past. This is just childish, immature rabble-rousing at best.
