Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbos Show podcast.
Greetings to you, homebounders and seller dwellers. It's great to
have all of you with us, says yet another three
hour excursion in the broadcast Excellence now under way, hosted
by me, your guiding light, America's a real anchor man,

(00:20):
America's truth detector, and a doctor of democracy right here
behind the goal in the IB microphone and one and
only EIB Network. It's great to be here, folks, and
it is great to know that you are out there.
We're loaded today. It's going to take all three hours
to get to everything, so be patient. Buckle up. I've

(00:43):
got a couple of great things. You know, yesterday was
dancing around a topic, dancing around the eco message. This
is not sustainable. We can't go on like this. And
now there are two pieces, two articles, two columns, two
blog posts accident longer than that that actually touch on this.
And I'm gonna be sharing with you today eagerly about this.

(01:09):
I mean, the timing is perfect. And even you know
yesterday when I talked about California and why the curve
in California is hardly going up, they talked about it.
At the briefing yesterday came up. It came up, and
they're trying to credit social distancing being started early in
California for the fact that there's no massively great upward

(01:32):
curve new cases and deaths based on the whole population
in the state. The briefing yesterday went for over two
hours at the White House, and fascinating things happened in
that briefing yesterday. In addition that we'll get to all
of this, I'm just setting a table National Football League

(01:52):
planning for a full season with full stadiums during a
conference call with reporters yesterday. This is Wednesday, right right,
and I just want you to know I have not
yet attempted any more viewing of Tiger King. You know,

(02:13):
you guys, you get you guys told me that once
I started, I would not be able to stop. That
it was sick, it was depraved, it was whatever. I
wouldn't be able to turn away. So I come here
and tell you I barely got through the first episode.
You say you gotta get to episode three, Episode three.
You told me the first day that I'd be hooked
on episode one. Anyway, now that I think there's a

(02:33):
story in the New York Post today that Carol Baskin,
who was one of the rivals, is now claiming she
did not put her husband in a meat grinder. So
what episode did that happen in? Anyway? Well, I'm sure
the story is about it everywhere, but that doesn't mean

(02:54):
that I'm going to get ensnared by it. Did you
did you? Did you try making a murderer? Have you
done that yet? I'm telling you, why? Why would you
ignore a recommendation? I make oh? All right, all right? Anyway.
During conference call reporters held on Tuesday NFL General Council
that means lawyer for those of you rio into, Jeff
Pash said the league is planning for a full season.

(03:17):
He since my expectation, am I certain? I'm not certain
I'll be here tomorrow, but I'm planning on it. I'm
planning on a full season, full stadiums. Well, I mean
that would preseason. The NFL starts in August, so we
will see, ladies and gentlemen. Let's start with the briefing

(03:39):
yesterday and I'll get to the expansion of you. I
was really dancing around something. I was dancing around the
economics message, and I've had. I had a lot of
people tell me Rush Yeoman job yesterday. But you got
to understand something. That team at the White House is
not going to talk about the economics, the economics message,

(04:01):
the economics future until the health aspect of this I
have some some positive certainty and is nailed down. You can,
you can do all you want, you can try to
go to them into it, but they're going to ignore it.
And this is that's my problem. We're trying to establish
a one size fits all policy for this massive country.

(04:23):
You know, the new governor of Iowa is not going
to shut down the state. A new Republican female governor
not going to shut down the state. She says, I can't.
I have no reason to right now. Wa and Arizona
was a holdout the governor out there, Doug Doocey. They
finally forced him into shutting down the state. Shutting down
I mean in putting the social distancing rules into place

(04:45):
and so forth. The economics of this is a is
a primary concern to me, and so are the health aspects.
Now here's the thing that happened. I want, I want.
There's two competing thoughts. The first of all, how many
of you watch the briefing yesterday. I think the ratings
for the White House briefing every day are pretty much
to the roof. CNN did not cut CNN backed out

(05:08):
of it. It was that briefing yesterday was chocked full.
Whatever you thought of it, it was chocked full of
more information and data, which is what everybody wants then
you can get anywhere else in this country. And here
are none of the networks covered at Fox was the
only one that covered it because they're living in this

(05:28):
illusion that they are Trump rallies. Let me ask a question,
how many press people get to ask Trump questions at
Trump rallies? Zero? He doesn't face any media grilling or
any questioning. And during rallies these are the furthest thing
from how many times did doctor Fauci and doctor Burke's

(05:49):
show up and start talking about their models at Trump
rallies doesn't happen? How often does Pence show up to
do anything other than introduced Trump? How many times this
feme where you know, did you have an endless parade
of corporate CEOs who are showing their determination to work
together to keep the Americans supply chain up and running.
You know things happen at Trump rallies. It's absurd that

(06:10):
these are continuation or extensions of Trump rallies. They just
don't like that Trump is Trump and that Trump's doing
but that there was a major change yesterday. Now, I
got an email note from a friend, Hey, Rush, why
aren't reporters at the White House briefings wearing masks? These

(06:34):
briefings demonstrate remarkable transparency. Trump's teams doing a phenomenal job.
And here's the observation from a friend of mine. Trump
has slowly worn reporters down to doing their freaking jobs.
Tonight has reporters asking mostly legitimate questions. It's true yesterday.
That's why I'm asking if you saw it, even what's

(06:57):
his name? A Costa, even Jim Acosta to see and
I was asking respectful, decent questions. Now, my friend's theory
here is that Trump has worn them down. Trump has
slowly worn them down. He has shamed them, and he
has forced them into actually doing their jobs. And when

(07:21):
they did their jobs, and when they were asking responsible,
decent questions rather than gotcha things, Trump responded in kind.
He responded with right answers, correct answers, respectful answers, He
didn't rip them to shreds. He didn't call them fake news,
didn't do any of that. And so my friend here
is crediting Trump for wearing reporters down because they were

(07:41):
asking mostly legitimate questions. Americans want relevant information. They're getting
it in these briefings. And by the way, these briefings
don't have any sugarcoating. These briefings are worst case scenario folks.
And I know why that's happening, and I'm not either.

(08:02):
The doomsayers like either. Doomsayers win every time they try.
The doomsayers cannot lose. And so now we've got this
two point two million dollars death or two point two
million death figure that is irrelevant and yet still being used.
Now the one hundred to two hundred thousand deaths have
been up to two hundred forty thousand deaths, and now

(08:22):
we're told the next two weeks gonna be the worst
two were all you better baton, you had better buckle up,
you had better get the next two weeks unlike anything
we've been through yet. So the doomsayers are alive and well,
and they are painting the biggest picture of doom they can.
And we know why. There are multiple reasons why. A

(08:45):
the prep people, I mean, we'll give them a benefit
of the doubt. The second reason is when the numbers
come in not nearly as bad, they can say, see,
see our early warning and our advice made the difference.
So that two point two million figure is not going
to go away, and the two hundred and forty thousand

(09:07):
death number is not going to go away. And if
the numbers come in anything less like eighty four thousand,
which some of the models are saying, then you can
bank on the fact that the government's going to be
praising itself out the wazoo. I give you an example
of what I'm talking about. I went to the dedication
of a federal building one day. I happened to have
reason to be there. A gigantic ceremony. The building was

(09:31):
named after somebody I knew. You know what the ceremony
was about. The ceremony was a General Services Administration praising
itself for getting the building built. What was supposed to
be a dedication to the guy whose name was going
on the building, and it was the GSA. The people

(09:51):
up there praising and how they came in under budget,
how they came in early. They got it all done.
I said, what am I watching here? It's the same
thing being set up here. This is all done. We're
going to get o. Our models were wonderful, and the
American people behaved according to the way we totally behave
and because of our advice and because of our models.
Because it is and that instead of two point two

(10:12):
million people dead, only eighty thousand people dinner, instead of
two hundred and forty only eighty five. Whatever it is,
this is, this is how bureaucrats operate. And I'm don't
don't consider this to be criticism, folks, And I'm just
so you know how the game has played and how
these things things are done. So back to the briefing.

(10:33):
Americans want relevant information. They're getting it. There's no sugarcoating,
and I wouldn't say it as any panic either. Trump
has put some really brutal numbers and fatalities out there.
He hasn't minimized anything, and he's now he's now personalizing it.

(10:55):
He's saying that he knows a couple of people who
have healthy people, never had a thing in the world
wrong with them, and they're in a coma. They're in
a comma he said his friends are in a coma.
Now hold on to that because it's relevant to what's
coming next. My friend writes the note, Trump has not

(11:18):
surrendered to the health experts. He is not surrendered to
the media. Trump is determined to get a head through
hard work, creative problem solving, leadership in action, and tonight
we're hearing it a little bit more about the problem
and model. Okay, so that's my friends take. Mister Snerdley,
did you watch the briefing yesterday? You didn't? Oh, geez, Brian,

(11:41):
did you watch that? You didn't? Want? Don Did you watch?
Did you? Did you? Is this your take that Trump
is wearing down the reporters, that finally the reporters are
treating them with respect and asking decent questions. Well, that's
not how the media sees this at all. Grab audio
sound bite number. Listen to this. This is Jim Acosta.

(12:04):
This is Trump's number one, not enemy, but foil in
the in the White House Press Court. This guy is disrespectful.
This guy has done nothing but disrespect Trump for three years.
Trump lets him in now and then just to be
able to criticize CNN and call him fake news. So
lastness is after the briefing. Jim Agusta is on Anderson

(12:28):
Cooper twenty nine on CNN and had this to say
about Trump at the briefing. Yes, people might say, well,
you know, I can't I can't ever trust him, He's
a phony and so on. People may say that, but Anderson,
I have to tell you, sitting in that room that
close to him, I've never seen President Trump like this,
and I think to some extent he is. He is
scared right now, Anderson, and we could all feel that

(12:50):
in the room. People may not believe the President when
he says any of this. And I've been you and
I have been, you know, pretty critical of him from
time to time. This was a different Donald Trump to night.
I think he gets it, Anderson. So Trump is scared, folks.
Trump is scared. And that's good. Oh yeah, that's good.

(13:10):
You know what. That's good because now Trump is not
acting invincible. Trump is acting vulnerable. Trump is acting like
he might be ready to admit that he's made a
mistake here and there. Trump is scared, and that means
we can get Trump, and that means we can portray
Trump as somebody who's not invincible and all powerful and
all confident and dealing with us. John Harwood New York Times, PMSNBC,

(13:35):
CNBC everywhere, He's been everywhere. I don't know why doesn't stay,
he plays me, goes everywhere. He tweeted about Trump's presser
from last night. This is the most effective job of
communicating President Trump is done during the crisis. The most
effective job that briefing last night, because Trump was scared,

(13:58):
because Trump finally gets it, because Trump finally realizes he
can't do anything about this, because Trump finally realizes that
he is vulnerable. Trump realizes he can't be Trump and
fix this. The question, though, is why did the media
behave better they did the media last night at least

(14:20):
that the usual provocateurs were respectful. I couldn't. But I
was watching. I said, that can't be Jim cost Jim
Acosta was asking respectful, actual, reasonable and responsible questions, and
I couldn't. And he was not snarky and disagreeing allow
me for the most part. When Trump would answer, and
Trump was not calling him fake news, and I said,

(14:43):
what the hell is going on there? Just curious. I
didn't have any I wasn't alarmed by it. I was
just curious, what's going on here, And I find out
these guys today think that it's because Trump is scared.
Trump finally REALI he's powerless. Trump realizes that there's nothing

(15:04):
he can do. Trump realizes that all the bluster and
all the pseudo confidence isn't gonna matter a hill of meanings.
Trump doesn't know what's coming next, and that makes Trump real.
And now Trump's a real guy. Now Trump's Trump's vulnerable,
Trump's Trump's gettable. They think Trump is scared. That means

(15:27):
they think this has defeated Trump. They think Trump has
succumbed to the overall whatever this is, that he no
longer feels larger than coronavirus or the issue or the
effort to get the country past it. And this excites them.

(15:51):
This makes them feel equal, This makes them feel like
they can get Trump. But did Trump behave the way
he did because the media behave better? I mean, it's
a chicken her end question. And do you think Trump
was scared? Did you want those of you watch the briefer?

(16:11):
You think Trump was scared? The last thing I thought
was Trump was scared of you? Well, maybe exhausted. I
think doctor Burks looks exhausted. And you know doctor burks
about whom will will we will be chatting later. She
doesn't get her data updates still two am every day.
That's when the latest modeling data and analysis is sent

(16:36):
to her. So she has to be up every morning
at two am. I don't know whether she stays up
until then and goes to bed, or whether she gets
up at midnight to get ready for the data. But
she gets the data at two am on most days.
This is not nine to five stuff. She does look tired.
Trump has always been indefatigable to me, has always been

(16:57):
It doesn't seem to me ever tired. He seems to
be always energetic and upbeat, and just because he may
be serious does not to me convey that he's tired.
It would stand a reason everybody in that task force,
everybody in this administration right now, would be exhausted. But
it did. Trump appear to be scared at what they

(17:21):
mean by scared, not scared of them, Scared of the circumstance,
Scared of the coronavirus, scared of the Is there a
realization that has said this is what they want you
to believe it. Trump is realized that we're powerless, that
all we can do is sit here and be affected
by it. There's nothing we can do. We can't stop what,
we can't do a damn thing about it. And that

(17:44):
has Trump scared. Trump's never been in this position. But
Trump can always stop fix everybaybe He can't this. This
is the point they're trying to convey back in a minute,
Welcome back Rush Limbaugh. Half my brain tied behind my back.
Just to make it fair, folks, we're having a little
problem here on loading the Rush limball dot com website

(18:06):
on the desktop site. If you're using a laptop or
desktop computer using a browser, you might be having trouble
accessing the audio. And well you're not even hearing me,
because we are having problems now. The app, the Russia
Limball app, and our Apple TV Dinocam app are all fine.

(18:28):
So if you don't have the Rush Limball app, go
to the Rush limb go to the app store and
download the thing. There's plenty of free content. To get
the streaming audio and video, you have to come amember,
but but there's plenty of content on the free side
at Russia Limba. In the app, it's a great app.
It's laid out well, it's it's it's it's a fantastic
app and it's one of the best ways accessing the program,

(18:50):
particularly during downtimes like this, both audio and the dittocam streaming.
But it's the desktop site. We got all kinds of
people working to fix the problem. Problem. It should be
up and running before you know it. Quick, quick brief,
breaking back with more in a moment. Here we are
back broadcast excellence, Rush Limbaugh talent on lawn from God.

(19:16):
Look at this. Look at this headline here from Bloomberg.
China concealed the extent of the virus outbreak US intelligence.
Really when did they just figure this out? To most
of us paying attention, This isn't breaking news that the
Chai coms concealed the extent of the virus outbreaking. They're
still lying about it because that's what they do, listen to.

(19:40):
China has concealed the extent of the coronavirus outbreaking its
country underreporting both total cases and deaths that it has
suffered from the disease, the US intelligence community concluded in
a classified report to the White House, breaking breaking news. Uh,

(20:06):
I don't know this business about Trump being scared, He
kept asking the media for more questions yesterday, and he
kept I can't believe you people still have any but
he kept asking them for questions I should answer. I
did not get the impression Trump is scared. I the
last thought that occurred to me. In fact, I'll tell

(20:27):
you what. What's occurring to me more and more is
how spot on expert informed Donald Trump has become about
all this. And his answers are almost identical to when
the doctors get up there and he defers to them
and they are deferring to him. It's, uh, it's it's

(20:51):
a it's it's it's a joint the joint effort up
there now. But it's it's it's obvious that there are
there is a focus on the medical side of this,
the health aspect of this, and the economics are going
to be playing a secondary role for much longer than

(21:15):
I'm going to be comfortable. Here are some of the
details in the media having a field day with this
aspect of the briefing yesterday, The Hill dot com Whitehouse
projects grim death toll from coronavirus. President Trump's top health
advisors said Tuesday the models show between one hundred thousand

(21:36):
and two hundred and forty thousand Americans could die from
the coronavirus even if the country keeps stringent social distancing
guidelines in place. Doctor Deborah Burke's explained there's no magic bullet,
there's no magic vaccine or therapy. There's just behaviors. Now,
the twelfth paragraph of this story, we find this still

(22:00):
and Fauci stressed that the total number of deaths is
not certain to hit one hundred thousand if Americans strictly
follow recommendations on social distancing. We really believe, in hope
every day that we can do a lot better than that.
So they're putting these big numbers out there, and it's
kind of like in the early days of the Trump
Russia collusions. Every day, five stories a day, New York Times,

(22:23):
Washington Post, Trump colluded with Russia. We have anonymous expertsion
in intelligence community who tell us that they're working on it,
providing evidence over them to twelve paragraphs in you get
a little sentence saying, to date, no evidence has been
forthcoming to show any collusion between Trump and Russia and
the twenty sixteen election. The previous fifteen paragraphs or whatever

(22:47):
totally irrelevant. It's the same thing here. Twelve paragraphs in still,
Burkes and Fauci stress the total number of deaths is
not certain to hit one hundred thousand if America and
strictly follow recommendations on social distancing. But it doesn't matter.
The two hundred and forty thousand. It's a new number.
So that's all the media heard because they want to

(23:12):
use that number along with Faucci saying that we can't
let up on restrictions that are killing the economy. Most
of the media ignored Fauci's more optimistic remarks saying we
hope we don't even get to one hundred thousand. Said
they don't have to happen. One hundred thousand deaths does
not have to happen. And I've got a story here

(23:34):
with different models for different states that show a wide
variety of projected death tolls, and it illustrates that we're
really not dealing with a one size fits all policy here,
even though we are attempting to do just that. In fact,

(23:58):
I've got some sound bites. Let me go back grab
audio sound bite number. I just want to remind you
of the philosophy on the doomsayer. Doomsayers always win, folks.
It's a psychological aspect of life in America and practically everywhere.
Doomsayers always win. The doomsayers cannot lose. It is the

(24:19):
realists and the optimists like me who have our heads
in the guillotine when we try to speak the truth.
Here's what I said on this program on Monday. The
doomsayers always win. Do you realize this? The doomsayers always
win in the psychological sense. What do you mean, Rush, Well,
let me explain it to I'm glad you ask if

(24:41):
it's bad. If it is as bad as they say,
they will say, I warned you. I told you it
was going to be on a dozen dead to what
a dozen dead I told you. If it isn't as
bad as they say, if it doesn't end up being
as bad as they predict, they then say it's only
because we warned you to do what was necessary to
avoid the threat. They are never wrong. The doomsayers are

(25:04):
never wrong. They always win. They've got an answer for everything.
The realists like me. I'm the mayor of Realville. I
am mister literal. This program is Realville. I am the mayor,
governor president whatever. I'm an optimist. I can't help it.
I have the optimist gene. We never win up against
the doomsayers, meaning that if I were to say, folks,

(25:28):
I don't believe in two hundred and forty thousand figure
there's going to be less than that, I would immediately
be attacked for disavowing the experts and misleading people and
being irresponsible about it and so trying. And this is
what Trump's trying to do. Trump has made it clear
that he wants to give the country hope. That he's

(25:49):
not a pessimist either. He wants to give the country hope.
He wants to give people a reason to think that
we're going to come out of this and come out
of this soon. I understand that, and I agree with it,
because I believe him self filling prophecies. You can doom
and gloom yourself into negative paralysis. You can also talk
yourself into optimistic outcomes and create them by virtue of

(26:12):
your attitude and behavior. And that's what Trump is trying
to do, and I'm far more comfortable with that. But
doing that in the face of all this would be
cited as irresponsibility because who are you. You're just a
guy in a radio. You're not an expert, you're not
a health expert. You don't have access to the models. Hey,
that's another thing. You know. We keep getting all this

(26:33):
modeling data. Wouldn't it be great if the people doing
the models showed up at a briefing. Why do these
people get to hide? I mean, I got nothing against them,
don't misunderstand, but as you know, I have a problem
with modeling because they're never right. They're never right, and
even admitted this. So bring them up there. Let's see

(26:58):
the charts and graphs that they are used to produce
the data that the experts and the health officials and
the president are using to inform people during during the briefing. Now,
also yesterday we focused a lot on California. Victor Davis
Hanson had a piece of National Review online yesterday. He said,

(27:20):
there's one hundred and fifty deaths. Was it one hundred
and fifty deaths? The California population is forty million. The
number of people dead in California is an infinitesimally small percentage.
And it's really curious because California, five thousand to seven

(27:45):
thousand travelers a day arrive from China in December and January,
particularly the Chinese New Year and they're landing at San Francisco,
landing at San Jose, and there landing in Santa Clara,
San Jose, landing in the LA And one of the
things I was asking, is it possible that the state

(28:07):
of California unknowingly had the coronavirus running all through its
state and population in December and January and they just
dealt with it. People got it, didn't know they had
it because we didn't know about coronavirus, and at the
time in December in January, it was still something that

(28:28):
was located in Wuhan Chai Coom. But so the subject
came up yesterday miraculously. Now, of course my name wasn't mentioned,
but folks, that doesn't matter. I am always present at
these things. We spent a lot of time talking about it. Magically,

(28:48):
somehow the subject of California came up because they do
not have a massively upswinging curve on number of new cases, deaths, hospitalization.
State of Washington ditto their curbs on the way down,
and they had the early reporting of twenty two deaths
in one nursing home out there, so legitimate question being asked.

(29:11):
This came up yesterday to briefing with doctor Burkes, and
this is what she said about California and Washington State.
We all remember Washington State. It was just a month
ago when they started to have the issues in Washington State.
But they brought together their communities and their health providers
and they put in strong mitigation methods and testing and

(29:34):
you can see what the result in Washington State and
California is. But without the continuation for the next thirty days,
anything could change. So they're standing by the belief that
social distancing and staying inside, staying home, not mingling, no

(29:54):
orgies and that kind of stuff, useless stuff that happens
in that state is not happening. That's why the cases
in California desk in California way down. They're chalking about
to social distancing, no doubt, But can there not be
some other explanation for this? But look, mitigation is that

(30:15):
they're mitigation, is it? That's what they're going to stick with.
That's what they're laying everything on the line here. Mitigation
is a way we're going to deal with this. Whenever
there is any success, that where they're going to chalk
it up to mitigation, meaning social distancing is staying at
home and not mingling with people. Here's the governor of
California who was on CBS this morning today when Anna Werner,

(30:35):
his name is Gavin K. Newsome, question what is the
data about California's cases? Say to you, it's too early
for me to judge it. But the reality is the
state was quick to move on social distancing. As a consequence,
I think some of those early actions may prove fruitball times. Everything.
Every hour, every minute of every hour, every day is
a day we're never going to get back. Every single

(30:57):
day is the opportunity to save lives. And so that's
what we have bought here in California. And that's what
I am currently focused on, not the models. I want
to prepare for the worst. Well that's what the models are.
The models are the worst. But anyway, so you see
the credit here is all going to mitigation. And again

(31:22):
that word mitigation simply as a substitute for social distancing
mitigation strategies. How do we mitigate the spread and we
stop the spread and so well, we don't come in
contact with each other. And that's what they're chalking up
as the primary reason for the relative success compared to

(31:45):
other places in California, State of Washington. Quick time out.
Your phone calls are coming up as promised. Hang on,
we're going to start on the phones with Francesca in Philadelphia.
I'm glad you called. It's great to have you here. Hi,
welcome back, Rush, Thank you. I want to give my
opinion on this and tell me what you think. I
watched that yesterday. I do not think he was scared

(32:08):
at all. I think he ceded to the expert. He
knew that dire news would come out. I think he
went with it. And I think Trump is going to
trump Nancy Pelosi and the rest with this infrastructure bill.
He knows the bill is going to come forward, but
this time I believe it's going to be his bill

(32:28):
and let them try to not pass it. Can I
ask you, if I'm going to react, I'm going to
answer and I agree with that Trump is not scared.
I'm gonna tell you why in a minute. But you
bring up this infrastructure bill. Can I ask you, you're
a consumer out there, You're an American citizen. You're in
the middle of all as you're watching, you just cited it,
you're praising it. Would you explain to me when the

(32:50):
US economy is shut down, How the hell we're going
to do anything on the infrastructure. Could you explain this
to me? I agree with you right, first of all,
not for any bill that just passed with what's in it.
To tell you the truth, I think he's using infrastructure bill.
Will it go forward? He knows it's not going to
go forward. It's a play. I'm going to put it

(33:11):
out there. They're not going to want it. They're not
going to want it. Rush he loves that. No, I
think it is going to go forward, and I think
it is going to happen. Yeah, I can't tell you
with Trump has wanted to do this since day one, Right,
he's embarrassed to the state of the bridges in the
tunnels in New York where he used to live, and
they are in badging. I have no I'm just asking

(33:34):
the perception here we are. We're in an economic shutdown,
We're in the process of shutting down a twenty two
trillion dollars economy, and here comes to the President talking
about an infrastructure bill. Oh, when how restaurants aren't even
over What do you mean infrastructure build? I know it's
a long term project, and I know he's putting Democrats

(33:54):
on the spot with it, and he's daring them to say,
no way on it. Uh, we're not even going to
talk about whether we have the money for it or not.
That doesn't seem to be a factor in anything anymore.
But I can understand if the economy we're back up
and running, and okay, we're going to start now rebuilding
the infrastructure. But we're purposely telling people to not work.

(34:17):
We're purposely telling you stay away from your job, don't
do anything. There's no economic activity going, a bare minimum
food chain, supply chain for and now here comes on
the surface of the face. It's just a gigantic disconnect.
And yet you didn't see it that way. You think
it you're looking at it politically. No wrong answer here,
don't misunderstand No, No, I get it. I get it.

(34:37):
I just think that I trust his instinct for some reason,
and I trust his play, so to speak. And I'm
not disagreeing with you at all. You got to go
to work to have an infrastructure bill, and I believe
he's putting us back to work no matter what. After this.
Do you know that construction projects are considered essential and
they're still happening out there. There's still building the stadium,

(35:00):
Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles, still building it. When I
come to work every morning, there's all kinds of construction
projects going on here. And guess who it is driving
into work, the vendors, and what essential work is where
I live, landscaping, Yeah, yeah, fashion that if construction work

(35:25):
is going on, the point is he could do an
infrastructure bill right now under the current restrictions, but I
think he wants them to deny something. See, I just
think maybe I'm wrong, Rush. I think he wants to
put something there. It's like Pelosi did this. Yeah, but
that may be true. That that. Let me tell you something,

(35:47):
Donald Trump wants the infrastructure bill more than he wants
them saying no to it. I know he's becoming a
better and better politician. He knows that Democrats are going
to demand more trillion dollars in government spending, and he's
trying to get ahead of it by making it his
trillion dollars and his infrastructure spending that he wants it.

(36:08):
It's not just a political gam But look, I wish
I had more time, but I don't. I'm glad your
called will be back I'll go anywhere. Well, they just
canceled Wimbledon. Wimbledon doesn't happen in the middle of summer.
They just canceled it out there. I guess I'm gonna
have to weave back into my economics message here, folks,
because this cannot go on. I'm tired of saying, and

(36:32):
I know you're tired of hearing it, but it can't
go on. And we are back. It's great to have
you with us, my friends. As always, this is the
excellence in broadcasting network. I am Russia Limball, I'm America
as a real anchorman, and America's truth detector, the Doctor
of Democracy, all combined to one harmless, lovable, little fuzzball package.

(36:56):
Each day we meet and surpass all expectations every day.
Happy to have you with us. Eight hundred two eight
two eight eight two and the email address l Rushbow
at EIB dot us. Excuse me. Continuing the policy here
of the trying to take more phone calls than usual

(37:18):
serves a dual purpose. Gets more of you on, gives
me more to react to. So if you're on the haul,
to be patient, because you're gonna be gonna be on
the earth sooner than you otherwise wouldn't be You're not
gonna be waiting for an hour and a half another word,
maybe an hour and fifteen minutes hour, No, it won't
be that long. I want to answer the question of

(37:39):
whether I think Trump is scared. We had to call her,
Francesca from Philadelphia. I don't think Trump is scared, the
drive buiser saying that Trump is different to press competius
because he's scared because now he realizes that he can't
do anything about this. Trump is smaller than the coronavirus,
not bigger. Trump is vulnerable, and they think Trump can
be had now, and so for some reason, a week

(38:03):
president makes them happy. They are perceived week President Trump
is the exact opposite of that. He's not scared. I
don't think there's I don't think Look, we're all scared
about the uncertainty. This is what's getting us and more

(38:23):
on that in just a mood. The uncertainty of WHENESS
is going to end is the big plague right now
outside of the virus. But Donald Trump is not scared.
He's invited the entire country to be involved in this,
and he's telling the entire country that we can do this.

(38:46):
He has bypassed a drive by media. He talks to
us directly every day, and this is what upsets them.
It upsets them that they can't mediate him. It upsets
them that they can't reak past what he says because
he has direct access the public private partnerships that have

(39:12):
developed here that I think there are a combination of
optimism and patriotism, but it's also determination. You know, Andrew
Cuomo occasionally does some things that are that are that
are well done. And he just put up a slide
during his briefing of Winston Churchill and Winston Churchill and

(39:34):
I'm going to paraphrase the quote Winston Churchill said, doing
your best doesn't matter. Doing your best is not what's
going to get it done. Doing your best is irrelevant.
Doing what's necessary is the key. And I don't think

(39:57):
that is a distinction without a difference. I think it's
a found difference. I'm doing the best I can. Oh,
let's give you an a for effort is a little
a hand of plots here, you're trying his best doesn't matter.
What if your best isn't good enough. Everybody has to
do what's necessary. Doing your best doesn't guarantee anything. It's

(40:20):
good for plaud it's it's good for participation trophies, but
it doesn't accomplish as much as doing what is necessary.
And in Trump's world, you do what is necessary. Carnival
Cruise Line told Trump, we can match those big Navy
hospital ships with some fully staff cruise ships. We'll be
happy to general motors, and Ford said, you know what,

(40:41):
hold our cars. We can make some ventilators. We'll be
making cars by next week. Again, construction companies, here's some
masks for the medical staff. And in fact, construction work
is some of the work that is not shut down.
I don't care where you're well. Here where we live,
there's more road construction going on than I could ever remember,

(41:03):
and they're taking advantage of the fact that there's no
traffic to do it. Now. They may be creating new potholes,
but they're still out there doing road construction work. And
home building is still going on, and commercial realistic commercial
building is still going on. Different definitions in different places

(41:25):
of what essential work is. Restaurants and schools are saying
we've got kitchens and staff. We can come together to
feed the kids. These are things that are not happening
out of the president being scared. These things are happening
because the President is motivating and bringing people in and

(41:47):
making them part of the effort. Everybody wants to matter.
Everybody wants their life, their life to have meaning. It's
part of the I believe, part of human creation. It's
certainly part of the human existence. Everybody wants to matter.
Everybody wants That's why some people drive electric cars. They

(42:08):
think they're saving the planet. That's why some people eat vegan,
they're saving cows. That's why some people go out there
and do whatever they do because they think they are
saving something. After they've been told they're destroying the planet
by driving SUVs or whatever, so they go out and
buy a bunch of junk clunkers and think that they're
saving the world. Their lives matter. Everybody wants to matter.

(42:31):
Trump is harnessing that desire that everybody wants their life
to have meaning, and everybody wants to matter. And I
don't think that it's the result of Trump being frightened
or being afraid. How many of you are in depression
because the baseball season hasn't started. How many of you
in depression because there wasn't a march Madness Basketball tournament.

(42:53):
A lot of people thought they couldn't get along without
those things. But guess what, Apparently people are getting along
without those things. I just folks, stop stop listening to
the media. The media, whether you want to believe me

(43:15):
or not, the media is, by definition and the way
they are educated focused on crisis and disaster and the worst.
You add the political component of their hatred for Trump
to that every day way they go about doing their jobs,
and you've got constant negativity. Now asked to Trump's infrastructure bill,

(43:42):
one little indendum. He spoke about this yesterday, and it
is an interesting thing. I mean, in the midst of
this economy, the twenty two trillion dollars American economy in shutdown,
the President talking about an infrastry structure bill to rebuild

(44:03):
roads and bridges and lagging airports in this and he's right.
I mean, we need tons of infrastructure upgrade and repair.
But the President yesterday talked about funding it by borrowing money.
Because interest rates are essentially zero at the moment, so
the money is free. You can borrow the money for

(44:25):
the infrastructure bill. You wouldn't have to necessarily appropriate it.
He's always had an idea of public private partnerships to
redo the infrastructure. Anyway, from the very first moment that
he proposed massive infrastructure repairs, he's always talked about public
private partnership and a a lot of people what do you mean,

(44:47):
how does this work? What private? I said, Well, you
let some company come in and name a stretch of
highway after itself for building it. It could be done.
We're seeing, I think, with the work being done now,
with all these companies, the CEOs each day meeting with

(45:09):
the President briefing, we are seeing the foundation, the formation
of what would be a public private partnership in infrastructure
repair right before our very eyes. Now, where does he
borrow the money? For all? You borrow the money from
the Fed, you borrow the money from other lending institutions.

(45:35):
That brings up the whole concept of liquidity. Who has
the money? Who has the cash? And right now that
would be the Fed. Hang on, cough switch a second, folks,
don't go away. Just don't want to cough in front
of you. Now to the economics again. I spent a

(45:57):
lot of time yesterday dancing around something, and it is
this we simply cannot with no end insight. Go on
like this. We cannot be in the midst of this
economy being shut down with no end insight. It's not

(46:17):
going to work. Now they can tell us, well, we
thinking two weeks we'll be able to relax things, and
then those two weeks go by and they can't. They
give us another two weeks because they think that we
can live with waiting and additional two weeks every two weeks.
If they tell us six months, that won't work. But
there's an overriding problem with this, and it is the

(46:42):
uncertainty combined with nobody talking about it. Right now. All
of the talk is about medical All the talk is
about the horrible medical statistics, predictions models, All the talk
is acalyptic. When we are discussing the virus, it's all apocalyptic,

(47:05):
it's all into the world, it's all into this, it's
all death, it's all new numbers. Two point two million,
two hundred and forty thousand. Meanwhile, everybody's at home, the
economy shut down. Everybody realizes this can't go on. But
there's this degree of uncertainty as to when this is
going to end. It cannot go on like this. At

(47:27):
some point, folks, we as a country are going to
have to answer a question, how much of the economy
do we let drift toward great depression status before we
stop it. That's just raising that question could get me

(47:49):
into trouble. Just bringing it up now, because nobody inofficialdom
nobody in these briefings is talking about other than Trump's
We're going to get back up in a generic sense.
So I have a couple of pieces here I want
to share with you excerpts. Ben Dominich, the founder of
the Federalist, had a piece. Has a piece headlined, we

(48:11):
are following a one size fits all coronavirus strategicy right
into a great depression. Well I saw this today. I said,
right up my alleys, exactly what I was talking about yesterday.
Here's the subheadline. While this shutdown has already done enormous damage,
it is the uncertainty about when and how it will

(48:31):
reopen that could prove far more destructive in the long run.
Dead on right, the uncertainty. Nobody's talking about when this
is going to end. Everybody's talking about the end of
everything else except the end of the suspension of the economy.
Here's how the piece begins. Our leadership class responded to

(48:55):
the outbreak of the coronavirus by shutting down the economy
on a nationwide gale. While this will mitigate the loss
of life the virus might otherwise have caused, it is
clear that we are also confronting a challenge that no
medical innovation can cure. We face an unprecedented situation. Not

(49:22):
a global pandemic, we've seen these before. We face a
modern capitalist economy that turned itself off for potentially more
than sixty days on purpose. This is exactly my point.
What are we doing. We have purposely shut down capitalist

(49:45):
We've shut down the largest economy in the world. We've
shut down the economy the world needs, the biggest roaring
economy the country has ever seen, We've shut it. It
took three years, only three years to build this economy
up from the tepid state the Obama administration left it in,

(50:07):
and now we're right back there. Do you realize it's
just taken two months to take this economy back to
where we were in December of two thousand and sixteen.
And if these last three years had not happened, if
this economic boom had not happened, folks, we would already
be trending toward deep recession. If our starting point with

(50:31):
the coronavirus and shutting the economy had been the state
of the economy, you know, one percent growth, We're in
an era of decline, America's best days and behind us.
That was the Obama administration message, because they were steering
America into this globalist world order where the United States
had to be cut down to size in order for

(50:51):
the globalism to work. And Trump comes along make America
great again, saying the hell with all of that, and
now we just shut it down. We just turned it off,
and we get it on purpose. And mister Dominic says,
uncertainty crushes hope. So the question on the minds of
our leaders should be how do we give people more

(51:15):
confidence that we can turn this economy back on. People
are sitting out there with no money, no prospects of
any money. Whenever we talk about the economy, we talk
about when and if it's going to come roaring back.
But with what restaurants are being closed may in some

(51:37):
cases never to reopen again. Where is the hope? Where
is the confidence that we are going to start back?
I mean, the news today Wimbledon can't Wimbledon's in July
for crying. Don't you watch Wimbledon and the fourth of

(51:58):
July and then when the breakfast wimbled or whatever it is, Well,
people that do it's July and they shut it down.
Mister Dominant says, while this shutdown has already done enormous damage,
it is the uncertainty about how it will reopen that

(52:18):
could prove far more destructive in the long run. And
the knee jerk reaction from a jittery Congress in the
form of a multi trillion dollar bailout could create a
number of disincentives for many people to go back to work,
meaning we're going to pay them more not to work
than to work. I frankly, I am not worried about that.
I think people loved working. I think they love the opportunity.

(52:41):
I think this economy had people wanting to work and
wanting to expand. If we could get back to it,
I don't think it'd be a problem. But I understand
the fear. For all the scary headlines coming out of
New York City, most of what we know at this
moment regarding the coronavirus as it relates to public health
is better than expected. We know that while highly infectious.

(53:05):
Our hospital systems seem to be responding better than initially thought.
The shutdowns have been abided by for the most part,
most Americans are doing a good job of distancing, behaving responsibly,
and staying off the roads. There are some exceptions, of course,
but most everybody is obeying, and thanks to that, deaths

(53:28):
are lagging far behind the dire predictions of the expert
in media class. Two point two million Americans are not
going to die from this pandemic. The White House projects
one hundred thousand to two hundred and forty thousand deaths
even with sustained social distancing. But the University of Washington

(53:48):
Institute for Health Metrics and Education projects eighty two thousand
deaths assuming social distancing last through May, and that looks
far more realistic given current reporting. Let's hope that those
predictions turn out to even be behind end. There's more,
but I got to take a break. Hang on, We're
coming right back. Frust me, Yeah, I just frust me.

(54:10):
See it in Nancy Pelosi's on her broom right now,
and see it in lying through her teeth claiming that
Trump and McConnell admit they didn't take action early enough
to stop this. It's an absolute lie. It was Pelosi.
It was in Chinatown in San Francisco urging people to
come on down and party. In January, Trump suspended flights

(54:33):
from China. In January, Trump did take it to this
is all about impeachment. They're trying to say that Trump
has admitted that the impeachment thing distracted him, and so forth.
They're making it all up. I got a limited time here.
I want to get back to ben Domines. This point
about uncertainty and the American economic circumstance, as in so

(54:56):
many cases, our leaders in both parties across the country
will for us when this all over, that everything they did,
the shutdowns and the bailouts, the seizures of power, were
absolutely necessary, That the cost of so many jobs and
livelihoods absolutely essential in order to save so many lives. Now,
how much you believe that is up to you, folks.

(55:22):
I've experienced every economic circumstance there is, accept abject poverty.
I have been out of work for weeks, I've been broke.
I know what it is to have no money in
the midst of a roaring economy. I know what it
is to have no money in a meager economy. I
know how scary it is, and we're doing it to ourselves.

(55:45):
We're shutting unless you want to say, the chi Coms
launched a war on us, but we shut down this
economy ourselves. We turned it off. The real tax, the
real stress on everybody right now is uncertainty, economic uncertainty.
Uncertainty about the danger of the disease for their family,

(56:08):
uncertain about whether the hospital will be able to take them,
uncertainty about whether there's even going to be an economy
to come back to. There's no need to totally shut
down the US economy here. Yeah, phone calls are coming
up in mere moments. I just I just want to
conclude the thought here without having to race my way

(56:29):
through this again. This is men dominance at the Federalist today,
and the headline of his piece, we're following a one
size fits all coronavirus strategy right into a great depression,
Meaning we don't need to be shutting down a whole country.
This is just his theory, and his theory basically dovetails
with exactly what's talking about yesterday, this whole notion of uncertainty,

(56:52):
that they're all we get it all we hear is
further shutdowns. Can't go here, can't go there, can't do that.
But there's no talk about when it ends. As in
so many cases, leaders in both parties across the country
are going to tell us afterwards that everything they did,

(57:16):
the shutdowns, the bailouts, the restrictions, the seizures of power,
was absolutely necessary. It was the cost of so many
jobs and livelihoods, absolutely essential in order to save so
many lives. How much you believe that is up to you.
But for now, the real tax on everybody's nerves, what's

(57:38):
making everybody on edge is uncertainty. Americans are uncertain about
the danger of the disease for their family and loved ones.
Are uncertain about whether the hospital will be able to
take them. They're uncertain about whether they'll have a livelihood
or job or career to go back to once the

(58:00):
government lets them out of their homes. They're uncertain whether
their kids will ever go back to school. They're uncertain
whether they should wear a mask. Even what Americans need
is the same thing the healthcare sector needs, and that
is clarity. And that is why our leaders in government

(58:23):
need to be working right now to set clear benchmarks
and milestones for reopening the American economy. It needs to
be something we're talking about. It needs to be something
that people can see, the light, the end of the tunnel,
whatever the end of this. The reopening of the US
economy needs to be something real that people can look

(58:45):
down the road to and see. You don't want to
look down the road and see nothing. That breeds uncertainty,
and it breeds confusion, it breeds depression. Now, admittedly, setting
these benchmarks aren't going to be easy, but two new
roadmaps for reopening have been put forward, one of them

(59:06):
by Ezekiel Emanuela University of Pennsylvania a little when Scott
got leave, and others from the American Enterprise Institute. Now,
the key aspect of the AEI suggestion is that counties
or states pay attention not to the virus as a
national entity, but to the situation of the virus on

(59:28):
the ground where they are in their local communities as
they move through phases of reopening. Now it's easier said that.
Nobody's saying that this is easy. Don't misunderstand me, but
I literally I'm talking psychology and attitude here. There needs
to be some sign there needs to be some indication

(59:50):
people are thinking about it. There needs to be. The
American people need to know that their leaders regard it
as an urgency to get this economy back up and running.
That's how people live in this climate. Any politician or
businessman who wants to step up and say we have

(01:00:11):
to get back to work or risk far more long
term damage is putting his head in the media guillotine.
And that is exactly right. This is one of the problems.
Anybody who comes out, you know, I'm a guy in
the radio. I can say this. Dominants writing his piece
can say it. But if somebody in the task Force
goes out there today and says, if somebody in business

(01:00:32):
comes out and says, you know what, we got to
get back to work, we're risking long term boy, are
they going to be hit. The media is going to
cream them for insensitivity, not caring about how many lives
are lost. But it is a reality that cannot be ignored.
This is exactly the moment when we should expect more

(01:00:54):
from local officials than being let around by national cable news.
National cable news and it's overall attitude of apocalyptic futures
ought not be what dominates everybody's mind set. Cable news

(01:01:15):
and their and their little dream of defeating Donald Trump
in the next election ought not be what's at the
forefront of everybody's minds. Look, this is personal for me, folks,
because I remember my life. I'm sixty nine on the
way to seventy, and I will make seventy and I
have experienced every economic circumstance possible other than billionaire wealth

(01:01:43):
well and abject poverty. But I have been fired eight times.
I have been out of work for weeks. I refuse
to go on employment. For most of it. I relied
on my parents in me ten to fifty bucks here
and there. But my solution and every time, was to
get a job. If I had to go somewhere, I

(01:02:04):
didn't want to go. To get the job, I did it.
I'm not bragging. Don't misunderstand. It was an economy that
made those things possible for me. But my point is
I have been through the abject fear of having no money,
of not being able to buy food. Let me tell
you one little story that regular listeners here know. Before

(01:02:26):
you could use a credit card in a grocery store,
I owned a house. I had no business owning because
I bought into the idea that renting was throwing money away.
But I had no business owning a house because I
couldn't afford to keep it up. It was the shock,
the famous shock in Overland Park, Kansas, and my master
card payment. I didn't dare use my AMEX card because

(01:02:49):
you had to pay the whole balance, so I didn't
use I had a MasterCard. The master card payment came
due in the same fifteen day period of month as
the mortgage payment. I couldn't make them both. Could. I
begged master Card to move my due date to the
second half of the month. They wouldn't do it. So

(01:03:10):
for the longest time, when there was the baseball season
was overs working for the Kensee Royals at a time
with the baseball seat was over, I would go into
quick shops which did take credit cards, and by potato
chips or whatever else you could fix in there, and
making sure I still had enough money for the mortgage.
But my point is that I know the crushing fear

(01:03:35):
associated with it, the lack of self esteem and respect
that that situation causes people. Now, this is not the
result of people being fired, but they're being fired and
being laid off in some cases. This is even some
cases worse. We have purposely shut down the economy. Now

(01:03:56):
I'm not arguing that it didn't need to be done,
but it's got to get turned back on at some point.
I don't care if it's November. They need to tell
us what the target is. There needs to be some
way of eliminating this wave of uncertainty that pervades everything here.

(01:04:18):
I know we've got stimulus packages and we've got bailout peck,
how many of you have gotten any of that money yet?
I mean, I know the intentions are good, and the
money is going to get there at some point, and
it's going to be very, very helpful. And I know
in some cases the amount of money is going to
be more than what you were making when you were working.
And I know people are worried. If that keeps up,
you may not want to go back to work. Clearly,

(01:04:40):
some of that's going to happen. I happen to think
that once this economy gets back up and running, and
I believe it will, that people are going to want
to go back to work because I think they remember
what the opportunities were and if the stimulus build the
stuff is done right, that it's going to stimulate the
economy in ways they're going to want to make people
want to be part of it, and there will be

(01:05:01):
all kinds if like the sub the NFL lawyer Jeff
Pash said that they're the NFL's planning for full season
full stadiums. If that were to happen, that's going to
be a big upper. Anything, anything that is an indication
of a return to normalcy is going to be a
huge upper. Now, I know many of you are thinking rush,
You're talking like there isn't this killer virus out there. No,

(01:05:24):
I'm not. I'm fully aware there's a killer virus out there,
and I'm fully aware we don't have a vaccine for it.
I'm fully aware of what needs to be done to
stop the spread of it, all these mitigation things to
social distancing and all that. My only point is you
can't keep people in their homes interminably with no end

(01:05:50):
insight to it. There has to be some way of
conveying a an evaporation of the uncertainty that exists out there. Anyway,

(01:06:10):
I gotta take a break, and I promise we'll get
to the phones. When don't we get back. So you've
been waiting patient be rewarded. All right, here we are
back at it. L rush Ball behind the golden the
IB microphone and we go to Jacob and Climax, Michigan.
Great to have you, sir. Hello Rush I'm thirty two.
I've been listening since i was six. My first memory
of you was in nineteen ninety three coming home from

(01:06:32):
school when you're talking speaking about Bill Clinton allowing the
don't ask, don't tell policy. You've been listening since you
were six, when that is amazing. It was kind of
something with my father who passed away, and he passed
away in two thousand nine. Is something we did together.
And I've been a long time rush list in a
first time caller, and just this is just an amazing

(01:06:53):
moment for me. Well, thank you, sir. It's really really
great to have you here. And in high school I
used to be made fun of because at lunch I'd
go out to my car and listen to you instead
of sitting in with everybody else. So but um, so
I found the situation with the kids on the beach

(01:07:14):
um pretty mind boggling. With the media left or right
where they were chastising these kids on the beach down
in Florida. I don't know if you remember that because
you were down so hard. Well no, no, no, I've
seen it since there was there was a look they
the town, the website where I live is chiding people

(01:07:34):
for being on the beach, for standing too close together
while their dogs are pooping. I mean, you wouldn't believe it.
I've seen it all. Well, well, you know, I find
it really ironic that you know, this virus, you know,
it attacks the boomer generation, right, It's it's that's the
most susceptible generation to this, to this virus, and and

(01:07:56):
these and everyone gets on their their their soapbox, preaches
about these kids and the beach out there partying, throwing
morals to the wind, getting drunk. But yet the generation
that complaining the most about it, it's a generation that
was in woodstock, out there having sucked in the open
doing drugs. You know, this is a generation that you know,

(01:08:18):
gave us abortion on demand through our morals to the winds,
stuck our kids in daycares, you know, spit on returning soldiers,
dodged the draft. But now they expect us, the younger generation,
to fall right in line. Well, you know that's right
in a sense. In a sense, you have a point.
Some of the boomers have become old men yelling at

(01:08:40):
kids to get off their yards. But you're talking about
the spring breakers. Yeah, the baby and I know the
boomers that were doing everything they were doing in the
sixties with the free love and the lovings of San
Francisco and all this stuff and the drugs, now getting
all upset about things. But they think they're entitled. But
the boomer generation, I'm a boom and much of the

(01:09:01):
Boomer generation embarrasses me. Not the part of it I
identify with, but a bunch of freeloaders. They never had
life tough, so they had to invent their traumas to
tell themselves that life was tough. And they made life
tough for themselves by inventing all these different traumas. But
you know you mentioned so I've got some stats here

(01:09:24):
that I want to share with you. You triggered something
here and you'll you'll hear it as I go through this.
Thank you, Thank you, Jacob for the call. I have
here from a source called worldometers dot info or if
you're in Rio Lindo, world ometers dot Info worldwide deaths

(01:09:46):
January first through March twenty fifth of this year. Are
you ready? Worldwide death from January first to March twenty fifth,
twenty twenty twenty one thousand deaths coronavirus. And that's the
low number, the lowest number of deaths January first March

(01:10:09):
twenty fifth, coronavirus one. Keep that number, twenty one thousand
coronavirus deaths and counting, we have to say in counting
one hundred thirteen thousand deaths by seasonal flu, two hundred
twenty eight thousand deaths by valeria around the world, worldwide, worldwide,

(01:10:33):
not America worldwide. Let me start again. Some of you
didn't and no, numbers are hard to follow on radio.
I do it better than most because I am patient
twenty one. This is January first through March twenty fifth,
so basically three months coronavirus twenty one thousand deaths, seasonal
flu one hundred thirteen thousand, malaria two hundred and twenty

(01:10:57):
eight thousand, suicide on hundred forty nine thousand, traffic fatalities
three hundred thirteen almost three hundred and fourteen thousand deaths
HIV AIDS three hundred ninety one thousand deaths, alcohol related
deaths five hundred eighty one thousand, smoking related deaths, one million,

(01:11:22):
one hundred sixty two thousand, cancer deaths one million, nine
hundred nine thousand deaths, deaths attributed to starvation two million,
three hundred eighty two thousand deaths, and death by abortion

(01:11:44):
nine million, nine hundred thousand in the first three months
of this year January one through March twenty fifth. I'm
not trying to make any correlation. I'm not trying to say, hey,
we're overreacting to corona virus deaths. Don't just I'm just

(01:12:05):
giving you the stats here. You can't react to these stats,
however you wish. Twenty one thousand coronavirus one hundred thirteen thousand,
flew two hundred and twenty eight thousand, malaria two hundred
and fifty thousand, suicide three hundred thirteen thousand, traffic, three

(01:12:27):
hundred ninety thousand, eggs five hundred and eighty one thousand,
booze one million, one hundred and sixty two thousand, smoking,
two million, cancer, two million, three hundred thousand, hunger nine million,
nine hundred thousand abortion. Throw the abortion ivers out, not
trying to be provocative here. I mean you can't, but

(01:12:48):
these are throw them out. You still have some really
shocking because we don't even talk about suicide hotlines. We
try to teach people to drive safely, do whatever we
do with hiv age. We tell people to drink responsibly,

(01:13:11):
tell people not smoke, try to devise cancer treatments. We
try to feed people. But anyway, all right, we've reached
that point in time, folks, another obscene profit break be
right back. It looks like, and I'm not kidding, it
looks like Nancy Pelosi setting a stage for impeaching Trump

(01:13:31):
again over his reaction to coronavirus. It just means they
know they can't beat him with anybody in an election
in November. And we have some soundbites on seeing today.
You will be able to hear it for yourself. Seventy
eight percent of Black voters rast must in post. Seventy
eight percent Black voters fear government's coronavirus cure will be

(01:13:52):
worse than the problem. We will be back on the
cutting edge of the societal evolution. Rush Limball your guiding light.
The times of troubled confusion, murkiness, tumult, uncertainty, and yes,
even the good times which shall happen again? The ib

(01:14:19):
network at eight eight eight eight two and the email
address l rushbo at dot us. One other little note
here a reference point on the economic aspects of all
this issues and insights dot com as an editorial today

(01:14:40):
and the headline the title of the piece, Coronavirus confirms
that the Democrats do not understand economics. Let me just
give you some pull quotes here. Bernie Sanders rant is
typical of most, if not nearly all of today's Democrats.
Their view of p offit is that it is an

(01:15:01):
evil that must not be allowed. Well, this is at
odds with what we know. Profits are necessary to human lives.
When profits are not being pursued, an economy can't develop.
We can't all work for non profits and expect to
move forward. How democrats are unable to understand that the

(01:15:22):
potential to earn profits is what drives companies to make
life saving life enhancing drugs is a modern day mystery.
No it's not. It's not a mystery. Why democrats a
pose profit? The democrats a pose capitalism. Capitalism to them
is the root of all evil, because it's the epitome

(01:15:42):
of unfairness. You see, it's the epitome of inequality. It's
the epitome of racists and bigotry and homophobia. Capitalism is
the evil of all evils. Socialism is the answer. Communism
of the answer, because nobody gets laughed at, nobody ever loses,
nobody's better than anybody else, he has any more than
anybody else, and and and there's no competition, and so

(01:16:05):
there's no hurt feelings. And the people that run the
show have all the money, They've got everything in the
world they need, and they bleed everything else dry until
everything goes south like Venezuela or Cuber. While Andrew Cuomo
not necessarily taking a party line when he says he

(01:16:26):
believes in economic shutdowns necessary to save lives, it's not
a big leap for Democrats, given their left word orientation,
to characterize an eventual reopening of the economy is a
conflict of lives versus money. This is what scares the
hell out of me, the idea of reopening the economy
during this the Democrats are going to oppose it and

(01:16:48):
are going to pitch it as lives versus money. You know,
when we went to Kuwait or kick Saddam hussainy Rock
out of Kuwait. They said, you can't do. This is
a blood for oil. The free flow of oil at
market prices is what allows everybody to eat in this
country and the world. The free flow of oil at
market prices at the bedrock foundation of economic activity. And

(01:17:12):
look how cheap oil is now because of the arguments
going on between Saudi Arabia and in Russia. Ninety nine
cents a gallon gasoline. You realize what a big tax
cut equivalent that is. It is huge in terms of
people having more disposable income elsewhere. But this is what

(01:17:33):
bothers me, folks. The Democrats are going to pitch this
as lives versus money, and they're going to do their
best to make sure this economy stays shut down because
that's the fastest way they think to beating Trump. And
the people in the Democrat Party urging this have got
their money, Feinstein Pelosi. They're uber wealthy. They're not going

(01:17:54):
to be hurt nearly as much as other people by this,
so they've got theirs lives versus money, when in fact
it's lives versus lives. It's not lives versus money. Money
is not an enemy of lives. Money is not an

(01:18:15):
enemy of life, but to the modern day Democrat party
and media acolytes, it is. And then there's the foggy
thinking of the Washington Post, and that means we're still
talking about Democrats. The Washington Post tells us the coronavirus
recession is exposing how the economy was not strong as

(01:18:38):
it seemed. Utter b s if it weren't for this
economy having been roaring for three years after Trump was elected.
And I'm not even saying that to give Trump credit
for it, don't missus snaid. The fact can't be denied
that we had the lowest historic unemployment ever, We had
GDP growth rapid, we had more people working that ever before,

(01:19:01):
wages were going up. If that hadn't happened, and then
the coronavirus hits, God knows where we would be right
now if we hadn't had this cushion to lose and
fall back on. But it is utterly frightening that it
only took two and a half to three months to
wipe out three years of economic game. That scares the

(01:19:21):
heck out of me, My friend. For you, I want
a great country. I want everybody doing well. My attitude
is that everybody in this country has the opportunity to
succeed and prosper, and I want them to do so
to the best of their ability. And it's being denied
people right now, and the Democrat Party in the media

(01:19:42):
are one of the major impediments. And this coronavirus recession
is not exposing how weak the economy was. It's quite
the contrary. It's the age old problem. Democrats and the
media think government is the source of wealth, that government
can create high paying green jobs out of nothing you want.

(01:20:03):
The truth is, we're going to have a stimulus package
at two point three trillion dollars. Do you know how
much money that is. You can't fathom it. You can't
imagine how much two point three trillion dollars is. And
it's not enough to support anybody for longer than two weeks.
The government cannot provide, nor can the government create an

(01:20:27):
economy that was providing anywhere near like the American people
were being provided for, or like the American people were creating.
It just can't be done. Ours is a twenty two
trillion dollar economy, and that's not the result of government
growing in government. Well, government's a part of it. It's

(01:20:48):
nineteen percent of GDP, nineteen to twenty two percent. But
the media is not doing and the Democrats doing everything
they can to reorient people's things once again to thinking.
Governments the source of wealth, governments, the source of fairness, governments,
the source of freedom, governments the source of rights. None
of that is true. That's why the longerness goes on.

(01:21:12):
More worried I get about it now. The audio soundbites
Pelosi on see an end of day she's on with
with Anderson Cooper. Here's here's the question that President and
Mitch McConnell are now suggesting that impeachment distracted the president
from responding to the virus. Do you buy that at all?

(01:21:34):
I think that's an admission that perhaps the president and
the majority leader cannot handle the job. We have a
life and death situation in our country and they should
not try to hide behind an excuse for why they
do not take action. But it does admit that they
did not take action. But that's for an after action
review down the road. Right now, we have to work

(01:21:55):
together to get the job done, and after action a
review means impeachment hearings. They're gonna do it. They're gonna
try to impeach him again, and this is made up.
Donald Trump did not say that impeachment distracted him. They've
tried to say he did, but he didn't. He wouldn't
fall for that trap. He didn't fall for it. Neither
did McConnell. Now, there was there was an illusion to

(01:22:19):
the fact that while all of that was going on,
people's attention was distracted, but it wasn't Trump's Trump banned
flights from China, and Jay We're going blue in the
face pointing out these truths. But Pelosi is lying through
her teeth here, flying into CNN on her broom, trying
to make it look like Trump and McConnell are admitting
we can't do the job because this little impeachment thing

(01:22:42):
distracted them from Americans losing their lives. Then this is
she said that all of this is just a tip
of the iceberg. Put forth our recovery piece of this
that related to how we have to invest in this
next bill in the infrastructure of America. When we were
talking about meeting health needs, community health centers, when we're

(01:23:02):
talking about water, clean water, and the rest, investing heavily
and clean water in the legislation, and when we're talking
about broadband, we're talking about all that that means in
tele education, telemarketing, tele medicine. The list goes on about
how dependent people are now on the internet, and we

(01:23:22):
have a big investment in broadband to address underserved areas,
rule or inner city. It doesn't even know what she's
talking about. She's talking here about stuffing a bunch of
stuff into Trump's infrastructure bill, as though somebody's opposed to
clean water. We need to Democrats in there investing in
clean water because I guess some people are opposed to it,

(01:23:43):
which is what they have wanted you to believe. Broadband internet.
Everybody knows we need the internet up and running. The
electricity grid cannot go down during all of this. I
just want to remind everybody, this is February twenty fourth
in Sanford, fran Cisco. This is Nancy Pelosi in Chinatown

(01:24:03):
in San Francisco. We should come to Chinatown. The cautions
had been taken by our city. Know that there's tourism
throughout the world, but we think it's very safetown and
hope that others will come come on down the coronavirus
not a problem. It's safe in Chinatown. February twenty fourth.

(01:24:24):
She's out there claiming Trump got up to speed late.
Trump had already shut down flights from China by the
time she is urging people to come to Chinatown. February
twenty fourth. Let me grab some calls before we have
to take the break. This is Greg South, Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Thank you for waiting, sir. Hello, Hey, thanks for us

(01:24:45):
for taking my call. Last night during the during the
task Force update, they were talking about models and all
the numbers. They had one hundred to two hundred and
forty thousand deaths. What was interesting was doct Burt's keeps
referencing a University of Washington model that closely models theirs

(01:25:06):
and that actually has forty to one hundred and sixty
thousand best, not one hundred and two hundred and forty thousand.
I'm wondered if maybe Fauci has been able to push
his will on both doctor Burkes and the President on
this and maybe or maybe they're not even sharing this
information with the President, trying to be a little bit
more click you think that you think Fauci is prevailing

(01:25:33):
in presenting the worst case scenario when the others don't
want to present the worst case scenario. Yeah, that's correct,
because what was interesting was doctor Burts had slides from
the actual model that she keeps reference. Yeah, she got
beat up by the media when she presented some pretty
good figures in her models. She had to do a

(01:25:55):
one eighty to keep the media offer back. And that's
the way I interpreted it, right. I'm just it's intriguing
that they use that model to show everything that they
were doing plus going forward, and that future mitigation would
push it down. But she almost it's almost like she's
not allowed to say what she wants to say. Well,

(01:26:17):
now that is interesting, and I've had I've had a
number of people reach out to me with the same
opinion about doctor Burkes. I'm getting it from all sides.
By the way, I know people who know doctor Burkes
and are telling me she's the best thing. It's up there,
She's doing her best. You can trust what she's saying.

(01:26:38):
Blah blah blah. I have to defer to people who
who know her. But let me take the occasion here
of your call to talk about models, because one of
the models that was cited by the White House Task
Force to predict the impact of the coronavirus is the

(01:27:03):
Chris Murray model from the University of Washington. Now, the
Chris Murray model is the model that predicts April fourteenth
as when the coronavirus will peak in the United States
as a whole. So if you are familiar, if you
think you've heard that the peak date is April fourteenth,

(01:27:26):
that is because there is a model from a guy
named Chris Murray, University of Washington, saying that, but all
of these projections depend on strong social distancing, being in play,
meeting you, staying at home, and staying six to ten
feet away from people. And what I have here is

(01:27:53):
model projections for each state, not just peak national the
United States. That it's from Breitbart. The United States as
a whole is roughly two weeks away from reaching the
peak of the coronavirus pandemic, but the peaks for individual

(01:28:16):
states will vary, with most occurring over the next four weeks,
according to projections from the University of Washington's Institute for
Health Metrics and Evaluation. That's Chris Murray. Now Here are
the projected peaks for some states I'm not going to
go through all fifty here. Take me a while. Vermont

(01:28:36):
April ninth, New York April ninth, Louisiana April tenth, Pennsylvania
April fifteenth, Washington, d C. April eighteenth, New Jersey April ninth,
Michigan April tenth, Connecticut April tenth, Washington April twenty fourth,

(01:28:57):
Maine April twenty fifth, Tennessee April twenty six, California April
twenty six, Florida. The peak here in Florida not supposed
to hit until May third. In Missouri, the peak will
not be till May eleventh. In Kentucky May twelfth. Virginia
is May the seventeenth, Montana April thirtieth, New Hampshire April thirtieth,

(01:29:23):
Georgia April twenty second. So it runs the gamut basically
from April ninth to May seventeenth. But the nationwide peak
is said to be April fourteenth. But these projections are
contingent on the continuation of strong social distancing measures, and

(01:29:45):
we don't have a vaccine. So when they're going to
let people loose, and what's going to happen when they
let people loose again? If they let people loose, and
they're gonna have to let people loose because that's going
to mean turning the economy back on what's going to happen?
Then when is that going to happen? The degree of
uncertainty over all of this is yeah. And Governor de

(01:30:11):
Santis has now reversed courses ordered residents to stay home
in the state of Florida for I think what thirty days,
thirty days, thirty days. And Congress. Congress is supposedly not

(01:30:32):
going to come back to Washington for at least a month.
California schools unlikely to reopen this academic year. So you see,
we are still trending in the well what I consider
to be unfortunate direction. Let me take a break. We'll

(01:30:54):
be back and continue after this. Say, folks, I want
to take a brief minute here tell you that we
are very proud to associate with businesses that focuses on
the needs of you in this audience, like Boland Branch.

and Branch dot Com. Greetings and welcome back Russland Boss.
Serving humanity simply by exiting my home to come to
the EIB Southern Command, participate in broadcast excellence and loving

(01:34:01):
every moment of it. Here is Mike and Cincinnati. Welcome, sir, high,
thank you, rush long mate, you run, buddy. Hey. My
point is this, This is a very dangerous precedent, and
our enemies, foreign and domestic are watching every move we
make right now. We're a great country. We've been beat up,
we've had wars, we've had disasters before, and every time

(01:34:25):
it takes a pound of flesh out of us, sometimes big,
sometimes small. But what we've never done, ever done, is
power in place, never mind shelter in place. They have
us powering in place right now, and it's embarrassing almost,
but it's gonna pay a heavy We're gonna pay a heavy,
heavy price if we keep this up. Trump has to

(01:34:46):
turn this around tonight, if possible, or this week, one
hundred and eighty degrees. That's what we elect them to do.
Make bold decisions. And if they're gonna throw money at this,
and this is the last thing I'm gonna say. If
they're gonna throw money at this, why don't they try
that us. Pay everybody to open back up their jobs,
give everybody time and a half for the next sixty days,
and let's get going again. We can turn plowshares into swords.

(01:35:09):
If we have to. But this is going to kill us,
not depend not the virus, the economic part of it's
going to kill us. And if it kills us, it's
going to kill the rest of this planet for a
long long time to come. I thought you were gonna say,
and you didn't. You got you got right up to it.
You said, you said, day this and day this. But
we have shut ourselves down here, Mike, Yes we have.

(01:35:33):
We have tranquilized ourselves. Were like a gigantic strung. No no, no, no, no,
no no. We have turned off the economy. We've turned
it off. We hit the off. We have done. And
you might want to say, I know a lot of
people think that this virus is biowarfare launched by the
chi coms, proving they can take us out without fiery.
So not even getting into that, just saying that the

(01:35:53):
reaction to it, for the first time in history, we
have shut ourselves down. That's my entire point. Rush the
virus will go away, the economic fallouts not going to
go away. Every day that we keep going like this shutdown,
I mean the economy shutdown. We're adding a month or
six months to the disaster. That's going to come after
this anyway, financially we're already into it. We're gonna have

(01:36:14):
to eat that sooner than later. But we have to.
We have to. They've got to get us all back
to work. I'm working right now. I'm lucky. I'm in
an industry that works, and we're doing great. But but
he's got to make he's got to stop listening to
these people and make a strong decision to say, open
up to his companies. We're gonna pay you to go
back to work. The employer will pay you. I mean,

(01:36:34):
whatever it takes to I hear you're you're singing my
song today. The the it's not so much that it's
the uncertainty of if or when this is ever going
to happen that people are having to deal with. If
there were an end in sight, then it'd be a
little easier psychologically to deal with. There's no end in sight,
and they're not talking about it. And I have been

(01:36:56):
told you I had very very very good friends supporters listening. Yes,
they say, rush appreciate what you're trying to do, but
you gotta understand something. They're not going to touch this
economic stuff until the medical stuff has been dealt with.
They're not going to do it. You can, you can
beat yourself up and you can pound your head against
the wall, but they are not going to start talking

(01:37:17):
about the economy and reigniting the country until this medical
stuff is dealt with and do all you want. So
you better hope and pray that whatever happens as we
come up with a medicine, series of medicines, we're going
to come up with some kind of TestU some some
you know in Japan, in Japan, just you can you

(01:37:38):
go anecdotal a little. In Japan, they're not sequestering anybody,
just making anybody wear masks, and they've shut nothing down.
Everybody's wearing masks and they're going to work and they're
doing things and they haven't had to shut anything down.
Everybody's wearing masks. Now we don't have enough masks for
everybody to wear masks. We don't even have a mask

(01:37:58):
for the medical professionals. But something has to happen to
enable us to treat the virus and work at the
same time. Right now, we're in an either or circumstance.
And that I mean, Mike, I know what you're saying.
That can't go on indefinitely. It just can't. Here's Roland

(01:38:20):
and Houston. Roland, you're next. It's great to have you
on the EIB network. High you know, thank God that
you're here behind the Golden mic to bring us back
to ground Earth. Two quick points. First, on your theory
or your wonder as to why California's numbers are so
low relative to New York. I believe the difference is

(01:38:44):
the mass transit. You have five plus million a day
in New York versus a couple hundred thousand invest in California.
Second point, and most importantly, addressing your concern about everyone's
of understanding of what's going to be the result of
all of this chaos, and your uncertainty concern as well.

(01:39:08):
I believe if Trump took the position that going forward,
we should be obligated to tell the states, tell the media,
tell everyone including the CDC to report the flu effects
every year when it comes to deaths, and we have
zero impact on the economy despite all of these absolutely

(01:39:31):
related deaths taking place. I appreciate your opinion. Thanks well.
I I was one of the early leaders in informing
people of the swine flu back in two thousand and
nine and two thousands, and those numbers are astounding. Let
me see if I can. I don't have them in

(01:39:52):
front of me. There were there were eighty thousand deaths,
three hundred thousand infections, and there's some millions in here too.
The swine flu was devastating. It was it was it dwarfs,
what's happening here? And we didn't shut down anything. In fact,

(01:40:12):
it was you. Obama was credited for brilliantly handling the crisis,
and it was used. The swine flu numbers were used
to tout and promote Obamacare. So I use the numbers
and I throw them out, and the reaction I got rush.
You can't compare the flu to this. This isn't the flu. Hey,

(01:40:34):
it's worse than the flu. The flu, we've got vaccines,
and because we've got vaccines, the country has become accustomed
and accepting of the annual number of deaths from it
because we can. We've got prevention methods, we've got flu shots,
we've handled the mutations of the flu. But when it

(01:40:56):
comes to coronavirus, we have not one thing to defend
ourselves against it. Here are the numbers. Sixty one swine flu,
two thine ten sixty one million infected, three hundred thousand hospitalized,
over twelve thousand dead. It was more than twelve thousand dead.

(01:41:17):
But regardless, sixty one million infected, three hundred thousand hospitalized,
and nobody gave it a second thought. Two thousand and nine,
two thousand. You probably don't even remember it. And what
I was told, what you can't compare them rush, the
flu is not this. We've got medicines for the flu,
we've got preventions for the flu, we've got vaccines, and

(01:41:40):
so as a society, we have accepted that there will
be a number of deaths and hospitalizations because we have
ways to fight it, and the flu kills specific elderly people,
people with preexisting conditions and make them susceptible to it.
But this we have not one defense or what accepts
staying home. And so they say you can't you can't

(01:42:04):
compare it, Well, okay, I'll accept that. Then we're not
going to have a vaccine until a year from September. Therefore,
we're not going to have a coronavirus shot until a
year from September. I don't know when we're going to

(01:42:24):
have medicines for it. We supposedly do. Now there's in fact,
there's a I can't remember the name of it, but
I was reading early today there's an erectile dysfunction drug
that is being shown to be effective. They've they've tried it.
If there's a there's a clinical trial of an elect

(01:42:46):
erectile dysfunction drug, and they're in a trial. Half the
people in the trial are getting the drug, half are
getting a placebo, they're studying it, and so forth. It's
been shown to the effect, but this is months and
months and months away, as all the other trials are.
Now we've got clarkmin and the ZPEC, and I would
really it's being used, and I would really like to

(01:43:09):
know what the success rate is in various places where
it's being tried. But we're not being told, and I
don't know why, and I don't want to speculate as
to why. Even the President yesterday has changed his stories.
This isn't the flu. It's worse than the flu, and
we can't compare it to the flu. And in a

(01:43:33):
way that's true. We accept fifty thousand traffic deaths a year,
we accept cancer deaths, we accept suicides, We accepted accept
that we have accommodated. We don't stop. We don't shut
down in the country every time somebody commits suicide. We don't.
We don't stop the country when somebody gets the flu
or gets hospitalized with or dies from it. And it's

(01:43:55):
because we've just accepted it a part of life, and
there art prevention methods, and there are things you can
do to help people not succumb to those things. With this,
there's nothing yet, and so that's the big shall we say,
difference or equalizer. We've got nothing to tell people to

(01:44:16):
do other than hibernate. Got to take a break back
with more after this. Greetings, that welcome back, my friends.
This stay at home work from homes schedule, so many
of you have had to adapt, is bad for the
burglary business. Everybody's home. Burglars like to hit when nobody's there.

(01:44:39):
The bad guys are breaking homes really prefer that you
are away. They much prefer to do their work unnoticed. Now,
while you're at home a little more than normal, it's
an ideal time to install your own home security system
from simply safe because the day is going to come
where you're gonna leave home. We all know it's going
to happen. We just like to know when things will

(01:44:59):
return into normal. You'll be off again. You'll be leaving
home unattended for the same number of hours in your
days that you did previously. Simply safe as revolutionized home security.
They've done it by doing one thing, taking wires out
of the hold of You cannot imagine the amount of
complexity removed by taking wires out of every sensor on

(01:45:21):
a door, in a window, in a home, or in
a condimenting of your apartment. Every sensor has to have
a wire run. The wire has to connect something, wires
connect to the base station. If you realize how long
it takes to install that site surveys come out. Sometimes
you have to beat up walls and take out walls
to run the wires behind the What a mess. And
then if there's a fault in one of those sensors,

(01:45:43):
you've got to track it down, replace maybe the wire.
You take the wires out of this, and you have
removed all of the complexity. You have made it simply safe.
No technician is needed to install this. You put the
sensors where you want them, doors, windows, glass, break motion detectors,

(01:46:03):
HD cameras. You can do it in an hour. Millions
of families have done this already, and they have adopted
the twenty four seven monitoring, which is when the cops
get called if there's a break in. That's only fifteen
dollars a month. Look at this. You got time now
go to simply safe USA dot com. They're throwing in

(01:46:25):
a free HD camera to add to your system if
you happen to pick it up this week and you
get a sixty day money back guarantee. You get two
months to try this and if it doesn't meet your satisfaction,
they'll refund all your money when you send the stuff back.
Simply safe USA dot COM's the website. It is one
of the greatest examples of tech innovation happening to improve

(01:46:47):
the quality of life. I cannot stress how much taking
wires out of a home security system takes so much
of the complexity. And if you have if a sensor
goes bad at any time, just put the new sensor in.
You don't have the fault. You'll know which one it is.
You won't have to trace it with wires, replace wires,
construction projects or any of that. It is a huge,

(01:47:09):
huge thing. Simply safe USA dot com is the website
and no promo code is needed. Here's Eric and Margate,
New Jersey. Great to have you with us, Sir, Hello,
hey Rush, are you doing good? Great? Thank you. The
reason I called I was telling bo, listen, I don't
want people to take me wrong. I'm here in South Jersey.
I'm two and a half hours from New York City.

(01:47:31):
I'm two hours basically from North Jersey. I got about
thirty eight cases of corona in my county, and I
was telling BO. I said, if I could go to
Sam's Clubs, Pj's, Walmart, Target Home Depot in my local
grocery store and keep my distance, why don't they got
to close up these other department stores? Then can't we
all go in there and keep our distance there too well?

(01:47:52):
Because people have to work closely together. If the store
is open and it's it's harder to maintain the the
six feet social distancing. If there's hustle and bustle of
retail crowds. That's the thinking I guess, Like in the
depost they're counting, they're letting fifty people in at a time,
and I hope depot and there's a line outside. And
a friend of mine was complaining about how close they

(01:48:13):
were in line fifty people in at a time of
the home depot before all this, you mean, no, this
is what's presently going on now. Oh they're letting fifty
people at a time in. Yes, but you have to
wait outside in line to you know, go in. But
a good friend of mine says that people all they're

(01:48:35):
all close together, wait in line, talking to each other.
So my whole point is, aren't these department stores too though?
So can't we maybe open up somebody other department stores
and distance. Let me tell you something as I understand it,
and I don't pretend to, but as I understand it,
to explain it, there is a one size fits all

(01:48:56):
policy that has been devised as this simplest and fairest
way of implementing it. That if you like you say,
if you let the people in Margate, New Jersey, go
to retail stores but they can't in New York City,
it's not fair and you're gonna have people leaving New
York City to come to Margate to go to the store,

(01:49:18):
defeating the purpose. People are not gonna stay where they
are if what they want is only a couple of
hours away. They're going to flood the market. We know this.
This is what I'm told is why they have to
have a one size fits a plus. The one size
fits all is the supposed epitome of fairness as well.

(01:49:43):
I understand your point. I hope my answer is sufficient. Well,
there you're gonna see another example of any folks, of
the fastest three hours in media. We're already finished and
it's over, and any of you are disappointed and saddened
by it, but it's okay, it's understandable. But be patient

(01:50:05):
because in twenty one hours we will be back REVD
and ready to deal with whatever happens between now, and
really really great to have you with us each and
every day here. Continual appreciation will see you back here
tomorrow
