The shock jock radio host Howard Stern spoke out on Monday to attack Donald Trump, saying that the president won’t concede the election to Joe Biden because he is “frightened” his own “illegality” will be exposed.
Stern Lets Loose On Trump
“They won’t release the funds so we can have a transition. I mean, what a s***hole country we live in with this f***ing nutcase,” Stern said.
“I know what is going on. I think they are frightened that as soon as they start transferring power, people are going to see what’s been going on for the last four years,” he added.
“I mean, Biden now has to put back together the Postal Service,” Stern said. “There has got to be illegality going on there. They literally dismantled the Postal Service for the election to slow down the mail.”
“What I can’t wait to see in January is everything that was going on,” Stern continued. “Then you are going to hear from the FBI, the CIA. You are going to start hearing about what crazy shit was going down for the last four years in order to just dismantle the entire government. It’s going to be crazy.”

Stern Demands Trump Concede The Election
Stern went on to directly call on Trump to concede the election.
“For once, do something good for the country. Calm down your f—ing loony hillbilly friends and tell them you lost the election and you’re going to help the transition,” he said, according to The Hill. “These loonies who follow you are all worked up. They think something was taken from them.”
Stern also mocked Trump over reports that the president is planning to start a television network that would compete with Fox News, saying this venture would fail within a year.
“[If] he thinks running the country is hard, wait till he has to run a news network,” Stern said. “That’ll fail inside of a year like all the other businesses. This is just insanity what’s going on.”

Senator Elizabeth Warren , along with members of the far-left ‘ Squad ’ in Congress , are making a serious push to cancel student loan debt .
According to U.S. News and World Report , student loan debt reached $ 1.6 trillion in 2019 .
Speaking at a New York Times summit , Senator Warren urged Joe Biden , who the media claims has the won the presidential election , to cancel student debt , saying it would be the “ single biggest stimulus ” to help the economy grow post-coronavirus .
“ For me it is a mandate to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the things we can do , to cancel student loan debt for tens of millions of Americans , [ the ] single biggest stimulus we could add to the economy , ” Warren said .
Senator Chuck Schumer said this week that he had been working with Warren to push forward a plan to cancel the first $ 50,000 of debt for every American , which they say could be done by Biden through executive action , “ as opposed to legislation.
” RELATED : Biden Spokesperson Says Ocasio-Cortez And Far-Left Won ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suggested in a tweet that student debt was a racial issue , stating that “ cancelling student loan debt will build black and brown wealth and help close the racial wealth gap.
” She is joined in her plan by members of the far-left “ Squad , ” like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar , along with other members of Congress .
A popular line of argument is that , since the US government happily bails out large corporations at huge taxpayer expense , they should also bailout student loan debtors .
However @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from not only commentators on the right , but economists as well .
Adam Looney , an economist at the Brookings Institute , said that student debt forgiveness is “ not a great form of stimulus , ” as the biggest gainers of this would be from higher incomes .
Economists argue that lower earners tend to stimulate the economy more with more spending , as opposed to saving , and that if you have a degree , you would be therefore more likely to get a higher paying job .
As NPR @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Bernie Sanders , and others , would all cost the government well over $ 1 trillion .
The government is funded , of course , by taxpayers .
The debt doesn ’ t go away , as it has to be paid by someone .
Like , say , workers who didn ’ t go to college .
For his part , Biden said he ’ s looking to forgive some student loan debt straight away if he takes office , albeit the first $ 10,000 , rather than the $ 50,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plan .
Ironically , Breitbart ’ s Joel Pollak noted that Joe Biden was responsible for supporting the law that stopped student loan debt being forgiven when declaring bankruptcy .

Senator Elizabeth Warren, along with members of the far-left ‘Squad’ in Congress, are making a serious push to cancel student loan debt.
According to U.S. News and World Report, student loan debt reached $1.6 trillion in 2019.

She is joined in her plan by members of the far-left “Squad,” like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, along with other members of Congress.
A popular line of argument is that, since the US government happily bails out large corporations at huge taxpayer expense, they should also bailout student loan debtors. Sambla, a Norwegian provider of cash advance and low interest loans stated that all funds borrowed under their lane penger program will not be subject to the legislation AOC wishes to impose on the financial institutions issuing the loans.

Women hold $929 billion in student loans, nearly two-thirds of our entire student debt and Black women hold more debt than other women. Especially during an economic crisis that is already hitting us harder, student debt forgiveness is a feminist issue. pic.twitter.com/gXQRvXu2fk — Women's March (@womensmarch) November 18, 2020
It’s simple, really. We want to cancel student and medical debt because we believe education and healthcare are human rights. — Cori Bush (@CoriBush) November 18, 2020

Serious Criticism From Economists
However, the plan has serious critics, from not only commentators on the right, but economists as well.
Adam Looney, an economist at the Brookings Institute, said that student debt forgiveness is “not a great form of stimulus,” as the biggest gainers of this would be from higher incomes.
Economists argue that lower earners tend to stimulate the economy more with more spending, as opposed to saving, and that if you have a degree, you would be therefore more likely to get a higher paying job.
Total student debt forgiveness would reach a whopping $1.56 trillion.
As NPR points out, various plans from Warren, Bernie Sanders, and others, would all cost the government well over $1 trillion. The government is funded, of course, by taxpayers.
The debt doesn’t go away, as it has to be paid by someone.
Like, say, workers who didn’t go to college.
Student loan forgiveness is taking money from blue collar workers (plumbers, firemen, garbage collectors, transit workers) and giving it to middle class kids who spent 4 yrs learning nothing and having a ton of sex. Tuitions will go up, and more kids will borrow money. Smart! https://t.co/I22xpnNhL2 — James Altucher (@jaltucher) November 19, 2020
Forgiving student loan debt doesn’t mean that debt goes away. It just means your burden is now on everyone else. SMH. — Joy Villa (@Joy_Villa) November 18, 2020
For his part, Biden said he’s looking to forgive some student loan debt straight away if he takes office, albeit the first $10,000, rather than the $50,000 that Warren and Schumer suggested in their plan.
Ironically, Breitbart’s Joel Pollak noted that Joe Biden was responsible for supporting the law that stopped student loan debt being forgiven when declaring bankruptcy.
Ironically, @JoeBiden supported the law that prevents student loans from being discharged in bankruptcy. https://t.co/R0BiQ5LC7W https://t.co/HXODmbA9WR — Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) November 19, 2020

Giuliani Claims Centralized Plan For Voter Fraud
During the press conference, former New York Mayor Giuliani, who President Trump has put in charge of lawsuits relating to the election, claimed that there was a “plan from a centralized place” to commit voter fraud across the country in multiple Democrat-controlled cities.
In previous lawsuits, they have addressed various cases of improperly handled ballots, such as ballots lacking a witness signature that were allegedly counted.
Giuliani claimed that a large scheme was the “logical conclusion” that had to be reached as a result of the various incidents they have been looking into.

The national media, social media, and fact-checkers insist there is no widespread voter fraud.
