Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbos Show podcast.
I've been chomping into bed to get here ever since
last night, folks, and we're finally here. EIB Open Line Friday,
Let us get started. Why from the Southern Command in
sunny South Florida. It's open line Friday. And for those

(00:22):
of you new to the program, Open line Friday and
the normal course of events was an opportunity for people
talk about whatever they wanted to talk about. Didn't have
to be anything, and interest in me says, they're kind
of out the window now because there's really one topic
with a bunch of offshoots everybody wants to talk about.
So the rule is, whatever you want to talk about,

(00:42):
whatever observation you have, any questions, comments, let's hear them.
Eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two is
the phone number the email address Rush body ibnat dot us.
So I just I just watching Fox here and they're
running their outnumbered showing. David Asthman, who I really admire,
is one of the people on the show. And by

(01:05):
the way, folks, I'm very happy there are a lot
of people, well not a lot, there are an increasing
number of people beginning to pick up my refrain. When
is this going to end? This is not sustainable, This
uncertainty cannot go on. What is the future. Where are
we looking? When are we looking at reopening? And David
Asman just said that he wants to hear from doctor

(01:28):
Fauci when we're gonna be reable to doctor Fauci. Folks,
if it's left up to doctor Fauci, we're not going
to reopen until a year from September. We're not going
to open until we get a vaccine. If it's left
up to doctor Fauci. We didn't elect doctor Fauci. Everybody
has a lot of admiration for doctor Fauci. He's seventy

(01:49):
nine years old. He's been the nationalist who it's for health.
He was instrumental in overcoming the medical blockade that was
killing so many people from AIDS and HIV. He's on
great work. Don't misunderstand, but we didn't elect doctor Fauci,
and doctor Fauci is not the guy that ought to
be to one determining when we reopen the economy, and

(02:10):
we are going to have to do this. The job's
report is in the US economy lost a total of
seven hundred one thousand jobs in March, and I hate
to tell you, the drive by media is crowing about it.
You watch them report it, and you almost get the
impression they're happy about it, and it just burns me.

(02:36):
I'm going to have to go a long way to
exercising some discipline and self control today because there's just
a lot of stuff that is beginning to really trouble me.
For example, these briefings. The briefings are great, they have
been great, but you know what, there's a sense of
permanence setting in on these briefings, and it is obvious

(02:57):
that the people in these briefings love of the process
of the briefings, and we're not hearing anything about the
end of any of this in the briefings. The briefings
continue to be focused on the apocalyptic nature of the virus.
Apocalyptic nature of the virus. Governor Cuomo's briefing just concluded.

(03:18):
His was wide ranging, but it also was a focus
on the apocalyptic nature. So you want some facts, here's
some facts. We've now surpassed six thousand deaths. The ballpark
number right now, because it's it's it's a moving number.
Six thousand, five hundred fifty deaths, seven hundred thousand jobs lost.

(03:47):
That's as of now, about one hundred jobs lost for
every death nationwide from the virus. Most of the deaths,
not almost of the deaths are of elderly people, people
of underlying health issues, or a combination of both. I

(04:10):
don't know how many of the deaths are people stay
working at grocery stores or gas station attendance, liquor store clerks,
people working for essential businesses. I don't know what the
death rate is among people working at essential businesses, but
it doesn't seem to be reported to be very high.

(04:31):
So sixty seven hundred thousand jobs lost. Here's NBC News
and the way they've reported it. And literally, folks, they
are crowing about this because it's it's bad for Trump.
In their minds, anything bad for Trump is good. Now.

(04:56):
By the way, these unemployant numbers are not as bad
as most of them were hoping. They were hoping for worse.
In fact, unemployment only went up to four point four percent.
You realize how much worse off we'd be if there
had not been the three years of a roaring economy

(05:18):
from twenty seventeen to the present. That cushion. I'm not kidding.
There were media people reporting slash hoping that the unemployment
rate would reach fifteen percent to twenty percent. But despite that,
despite the percentage number, the economy lost seven hundred thousand jobs.

(05:41):
And NBC is saying that this number only represents that
Tippothy Iceberg and they added that the worst is yet
to come. And I swear I think they were excited,
as journalists get excited by bad news, by and gloom,
they were the worst is yet to come. Let me

(06:03):
read to you from the NBC article. Economists and market
participants are in agreement that the April job's report will
better illustrate the havoc reeked by the coronavirus on the workforce.
Some economists are predicting the unemployment number could be as
high as twenty million. Okay. When I came back to

(06:25):
this program on Monday, one of the things that I
immediately zeroed in on was the models and how I
was made nervous by them. The models that were projecting
two point two million dead if we didn't do anything,
then they projected between one hundred thousand and two hundred
thousand dead, and then they upped it to two hundred

(06:46):
and forty thousand. We've never met the modelers. We've heard
their names in some case, but the modelers have never
shown up in a briefing to explain their work. On Wednesday,
after the dire death models were touted at the White
House briefing, I again commented that all we keep getting

(07:08):
is this modeling data, and wouldn't it be great if
the people doing the modeling actually showed up to explain it. Well,
guess what I have two stories today. The Washington Post
has a story where the modelers now think these numbers
are too high. The modelers have gone to the Washington

(07:34):
Post to say that they don't think these numbers are accurate,
meaning the two hundred forty thousand. We know the two
point two million numbers not accurate because that was if
we hadn't done anything, no social distancing, no mitigation. But
they're saying now that the two hundred, two hundred and
forty thousand death number is not accurate, the very modelers
who gave us these Oh you don't believe it, Well,

(07:56):
let me share with you a couple of headlines here.
Experts Trump advisors doubt White House's two hundred forty thousand
coronavirus death's estimate, White House, White House, see how this
is working, experts Trump advisor's death. So they put out
this number two hundred thousand, two hundred and forty thousand

(08:18):
deaths earlier in the week. Now they come along and
say the Trump White House is wrong. Well, the Trump
White House relied along with doctor Burkes and doctor Founci
on the models, which I had a bad feeling about
from the get go. I could play you the audio
soundbites of me from Monday and Tuesday if you want

(08:41):
a second story, Trump officials privately questioned White House coronavirus
death toll estimate, Washington Post and the Hill dot com
two stories, And I'll tell you what I think this is.
I think the media maybe trying to set the table

(09:02):
to deny Trump credit for lower fatalities. Look, everybody knows
how bureaucrats work. You give us a worst case scenario
two point two million, but it ain't gonna be that.
They say one hundred thousand, maybe two D two D
forty thousand. Then the deaths coming at say sixty to eighty,
they say, oh my goodness, we were so wonderful. Look
at it, Look at it. We lowered the death toll

(09:23):
with our social distancing or whatever. But in the same time,
here I think they're trying to deny Trump credit for
the lower failures that all bureaucrats are going to try
to claim. Here the credit the computer models predicted that
the media, you know, the worst it is, the better
for the news, for ratings and what have you, and
the worst it is. They think the worst it is

(09:44):
for Trump. I mean, they're not there wanting a Category
six hurricane with this stuff. Good for business, bad for Trump.
So when the projections of one hundred thousand or two
hundred and forty thousand deaths were announced, CNN Jim accosts,
Trump gets it. Trump gets it. Trump's look scared. Media
was happy we had a catastrophe. But now now the

(10:05):
very people that gave us these numbers through the models
are now suggesting that maybe they're not right. Maybe the
death toll isn't going to be that high. I told
you on Monday, when this is all over, we're going
to have a big debate in this country whether this
shutdown was ever even necessary. It's going to be a knockdown,
drag out debate. And remember the doomsayers because of psychology

(10:28):
are never wrong. I also want to share with you
before we get too deep into things. By the way,
the far left media group now Free Press is actually
asking the FCC to censor Trump's briefings every day. More

(10:55):
on that. I got an email from a guy that
I met live. I met him years and years and
years ago. When I met him, his family was very
Chicago liberal. He was sort of a political, but he
followed along with a family knew who I was. We
became friends. I got an email if I got two

(11:19):
emails from him last night. Normally I would keep this
to myself, but this really profoundly affected me, and it
reminded me why I do what I do. Rush, Comma,

(11:40):
you are the only person nationally who is really questioning
what is going on. So many of us are going
to be financially ruined from this, and no one on
a national level is focusing on that. Rush. Please, even
if the mayor in stream media takes snippets of what

(12:02):
you say out of context, sensationalize it to make you
seem like a creep, screw them, keep it up, keep going,
keep talking your take on all of this calms me down.
In over sixteen years, I haven't wanted to throw it
all away more than I do right now, but it's

(12:25):
helping me knowing that somebody actually cares. And I really
appreciate that you do not have a death countdown on
your website. You ought to have a live ticker of
all the people who have recovered from the virus and
survived it. All these media companies are salivating over reporting

(12:47):
the devastation of our lives that we have worked endless
hours and maybe immeasurable sacrifices to build. This is the
greatest country in the world. You are the only person
who seems to be fighting for our way of life.
I'm going to continue to write these emails to you
because it's therapeutic for me. And if my emails are annoying,
feel free to say chill out and I'll go away.

(13:11):
On the positive side, I've become hell of a teacher
for my kids. I've loved being able to be around
them lately. Stay healthy, keep fighting, so I replied, I
thanked had he sent back another email. This was the
follow up, Russia's insane. I could go on for hours.
Is driving me crazy. If I end up having to

(13:31):
sell my house in a horrible market, or if I
can't pay my taxes because of this, I'm going to
have to tell my kids it was because Americans were
shamed into becoming Europeans during the Blitzkreig on the London
Londoners were less fearful and shameful than we are now,
and they were being bombed. Actual bombs could drop from

(13:54):
the sky kill him at any moment. People like Donned
Lemon have this permanent I told you so smirk on
their face. They don't offer anything substantive or positive. That's
why what you're doing is important to the average person
like me. For crying out loud rush you have lung cancer,
you have all people can hide. You have every right
to hide or go away, cash it in. But instead

(14:17):
you're actually trying to promote the American way of life.
It drives me crazy, especially because I live where I live.
How do all these people think America was built by
being complacent? It's scared, fearful, It's crazy. Sorry for rambling.
I'm just really worried and angry, and I I totally

(14:41):
understand it. I literally I mentioned this yesterday and I've
I've experienced every economic circumstance you can in this country
except for pure abject poverty and uber billionaire multi millionaire
kind of wealth. I have had nothing. I've been broke,

(15:05):
I have been fired a whole bunch of times, and
so forth. I know what this feels like. I know
the abject fear, and it frustrates me to no end.
I it's it's unsustainable, and I am worried for everybody
in this circumstance. I know we've got these bailout and

(15:26):
age packages, but the money's not going to get to
people as fast as they're trying to get it to people.
And there's some really great work being done in that area.
Manuchin opened the briefing, Yes, it was great. Without are
going to try to maintain viability for small businesses, keep
payrolls open even when the businesses are closed. It's a
tremendous objective and it's a great effort, and it's going

(15:49):
to require a lot of logistical coordination, and I really
hope they pull it off. But it still is a
really scary thing. And I've been through it when the
economy was roaring. I've been through it in the nineteen eighties,
when you know, when I was the only one not
doing well, or what a few not doing well. I've

(16:11):
experienced it all. I can relate to it, and I
know how frightening it is. I know how to attack
yourself esteem. I know how it makes you feel worthless
or I've been through all of it, and I despise it.
I hate it, and it's when it's not necessary. It
frustrates me even more. As I say, there a couple
of people now writing, hey, won the New York Governor Cuomo,

(16:35):
Can you start talking about when this is going to end?
Instead of just the daily apocalypse. Can somebody give us
some hope? Can somebody give us some exactly the theme
that I had on the program yesterday. This is starting
to effervest and bubble up out there. It's going to
have to happen. The debate is not lives versus money.

(16:58):
Debate is lives versus lives. I have to take a break.
You hang in there, be tough. We'll be back and
we will continue details on the latest updates on the
modelers now thinking their own numbers are wrong. When we
get back readings, welcome back. Looking forward to chatting with
you on the phones. It'll come up soon. In the
next half hour. Headline experts coma. Trump's advisors doubt White

(17:23):
Houses two hundred forty thousand coronavirus death estimate. Well that's
all fine and nandy, but look what we've now based
everything on. So they put out this number from their
models starts at two point two million, and that was
never going to be an active number because that was
based on if we did nothing, that number should never

(17:43):
be mentioned. But it will continue to be mentioned as
the high mark because it'll be able to then be
You see how great a job we did. It wasn't
two point two million, it was whatever the death toll
ends up being. Then they scared us with one hundred thousand,
two hundred and forty thousand. All leading disease forecasters whose

(18:08):
research the White House used to conclude that one hundred
thousand of two hundred and forty thousand people will die
nationwide from the coronavirus were mystified when they saw the
administration's projection. Why the administration simply relying on this modeling data,

(18:28):
So why were the modelers. Why were the disease forecasting
forecasters mystified when they saw the administration use the number.
The experts said, they didn't challenge, They don't challenge the
numbers validity, but they don't know how the White House
arrived at them. Do you see what's happening here, folks?

(18:52):
They give the administration these numbers from the models, the
administration uses them, and now the modelers come back and
they said, what's the White House doing? We don't think
these numbers are I'm glad there's a break right now.
How great to have you back here. Rush open line Friday,
America's real anchorman, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.

(19:17):
So let me now a full segment ahead of me.
Let me spend some time this Washington Post story or
one of two today Washington Post on the Hill dot
com experts, Trump advisors doubt white houses. Two hundred and
forty thousand coronavirus deaths two hundred and forty thousand number
is from the models. Donald Trump didn't make it up

(19:40):
out of whole cloth. Neither did anybody in the administration
make up two hundred and forty thousand. They were given
that number from the modelers, you know. And now we
got some of the modelers and some of the health
professional well to the Chinese. Do we not honest with us?
Said matter, How can you changes in disease wise? They

(20:01):
didn't tell us it could be Sprant and Parish. What
are we this helpless that we can't do anything without
knowing what the Chinese tell us about this. I'm going
to be using a heap, big amount of discipline here, folks,
as I go through this, because there is a big

(20:23):
part of me, and a growing part of me that
says much of what we're doing, not all, but much
of what we're doing is I don't want to say
not necessary, but the damage that we are purposely inflicting
on the people of this country is ripping me apart.

(20:48):
It is the people who make this country work, and
we have turned off their livelihoods, and we have told
them they cannot do what they want to do when
it comes to their careers and to their work. Work
is how people define their self worth. In many cases,
work is how people measure themselves. We've turned the switch

(21:12):
on a twenty two trillion dollars economy, and now we
get a headline. Trump's advisors doubt White House two hundred
and forty thousand coronavirus death estimates leading disease forecasters whose
research the White House used to conclude that one hundred
thousand and two hundred and forty thousand people will die

(21:34):
nationwide from coronavirus. Were mystified when they saw the administration's projection.
How the hell could they be mystified? They gave the
White House to numbers, so the White House used them.
How can they be mystified? The experts said they don't
challenge the numbers validity, but they said they don't know
how the White House arrived at what the experts who

(22:00):
apply the information are telling the Washington Post. They don't
know how the White House got the numbers? Why is
this not the screaming headline all over the news today?
Along with the success that Clara Quinn is having out there.
More on that as the program unfolds. White House officials
have refused to explain how they generated the figure two

(22:22):
hundred and forty thousand deaths. That is a death toll
bigger than the US suffered in the Vietnam War or
in the nine to eleven terror attacks. White House officials
have not provided the underlying data so that others can
assess its reliability, and they've not provided a long term
strategicies to lower the death count. Am I watching the

(22:45):
same briefings that the drive by media is reporting on. Here,
it seems to me that it's doctor Faunci and doctor
Burkes that are using these numbers, and they've got their
charts and their graphs, and they're showing the steam climb
on the upside of hill and the downside of the hill,
and then what do they call it leveling off or

(23:10):
whatever it is. Some of President Trump's top advisors have
expressed doubts about the estimate, according to three White House
officials spoke in a condition of anonymity because they were
not author So this story is basically attempting to blame
Trump for using inflated numbers. And you know what they're
gonna say. They're gonna say Trump got everybody all hepped up,

(23:30):
but he knew it wasn't going to be this bad,
so he can make himself look good when the number
comes in much lower. Well, hell's bells. That's what every
bureaucrat in the world does, and that's what they've been
setting themselves up for here. It wasn't I remember when
Trump first came out and used the two point two
million number. He was stunned, he was shocked. He didn't
make it up. He was given that number by his

(23:54):
health experts as the number of deaths if we didn't
do anything, no social distance, shutting down the economy, keeping
restaurants open, all less sort of stuff, that's how many
people would have dined. Well, we're not doing nothing, we're
doing all kinds as the two point two million numbers
irrelevant now, so it ought to not even ever be
used again, But there it is. At a task force

(24:16):
meeting this week, according to two officials with direct knowledge
of it, Anthony Foucci, director of the National Institute of
Allergy in Effectious Disease is told others that there are
too many variables at play in the pandemic to make
the models reliable. What we have spent the whole week
being told what the models say. We got to rely

(24:38):
on them, and now Faucci's out the hell. There's so
much input going in there, there's so much output coming
out of the air, that too many variables at play
to make the models reliable. So all these numbers are worthless.
Now what does this mean? Doctor Faucci said, I've looked
at all the models. I spent a lot of time
on the models. They don't tell you anything. You can't

(24:58):
rely upon model. What relying on models is all we've done.
Relying on models is why we've shut down the economy.
What the hell is going on. Relying on models is
why you can't go to work. Relying on models is
why you're under some sort of penalty if they catch
you outside your house. From the very beginning of this week,

(25:23):
I called attention to the problem with these models. They're
just as bad and just as unreliable as climate change models.
Nobody knows. So they want to put data into a model,
come out with a number, and then use that And
now all of a sudden, Trump's using the numbers indiscriminately

(25:43):
and randomly. Robert Redfield, the director of the Sentators for
Disease Controlling Preventions of the Vice President's Office, have similarly
voiced doubts about the projections accuracy. Well, they were using
the numbers yesterday. What is this? They were using these numbers.
Two hundred and forty, two hundred thousand. They were using

(26:05):
these numbers yesterday. Here's this story saying everybody doubts them.
I have to be missing something here. I have to
be this is I have to have somehow lost consciousness
for five or six hours yesterday last. I have to
be missing something because none of this making any said

(26:26):
Jeffrey Shaman, Columbia University epidemiologists whose models were cited with
the White House, said his own work on the pandemic
doesn't go far enough into the future to make predictions,
akin to the White House fatality for the white House
fatality for this is the Fauci Burke's fatality forecast. Trump

(26:49):
is using numbers he's been given. Trump is not the
health expert here. He's not the scientist. He's not running
the models. He's not looking at the output from the
models and running out there to the briefing room and
telling us there are He's being given the data correct.
So now all these modelers are running away from their work.

(27:09):
Jeffrey Shaman, Columbia University epidemiologists, Well, on our own work
may not go far enough, So we don't We don't
have a sense of what's going on in the here
and now. We don't know what people will do in
the future. We don't know if the virus is seasonal.
What Fouci does, Fouci's telling us it's seasonal. Fauci says,

(27:33):
there's gonna be a seasonal rebound that this guy's saying
his models don't know that. We'll make your models know it.
Put the data in. That's how models work. Models are
not magic, you know. Models are just a lazy man's
effort of not having to think on your own. Get this,

(27:56):
get that. This is next, next paragraph. The estimate appeared
to be a rushed to affair. We're talking here about
this estimate of one hundred thousand deaths to two hundred
and forty thousand. Everything. People are making tracks now to
disavow these numbers in the Washington Post, the Bezos Post.
So here's another paragraph. The estimate appeared to be a

(28:17):
rushed affair, said Mark Lipsitch, an epidemiologist and the director
of Harvard's Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics. He said, yeah,
they contacted us, I think on a Tuesday, a week ago.
They asked for answers and feedback by Thursday. They basically
gave us twenty four hours. My initial response was, we

(28:38):
can't do it that fast, but we ended up providing
him some numbers responding to very specific scenarios. Other experts
noted that the White House didn't even explain the time
period the deaf estimate supposedly captures just the coming few months,
that's a valid point one hundred thousand dead, one hundred

(29:00):
and forty thousand dead. When by when they keep telling
us that the peak is in the next two weeks
in some states, the next three weeks in some states,
of the four weeks in other states, when is this
total of two hundred and forty thousand is supposed to
be reached? Well, damn will guarantee you that most people
watching a news think in two weeks, they think we're

(29:22):
going to go from sixty five hundred deaths right now
to two hundred and forty thousand deaths, because this is
what they're being told, and this is what they're being
told to keep them at home, and this is what
they're being told to make them go along with shutting
down the economy. They think two hundred forty thousand people
are going to be dead in two weeks now. These
people are running away from this. Almost the entirety of

(29:44):
what the public knows about the death projection was presented
on a single slide at a briefing Tuesday from the
White House Coronavirus Task Force. A White House representatives said
the Task Force has not publicly released the models from
which it through out of respect for the confidentiality of
the modelers. Bengal, bring them up on that stage, let

(30:08):
us meet them and let their work be shown and questioned. Instead,
Fauci and Burkes represent the work. Trump goes out there,
takes the lead because he's the president. That's what he does.
He trusts the stuff that he's being told White House
representatives and the Task Force has not released the models

(30:30):
themselves because of respect for the confidentiality of the modelers.
And get this, many of the modelers approach the White
House unsolicited and simply want to continue their work without publicity.
Who without publicity? You mean to tell me that a

(30:55):
bunch of random computer modelers have been trying to get
hold of the White House to infuse use their work
into the Task Force and don't want to be known.
What are you nod in your head? What does that
mean to you, mister Snerdley. They don't want to be known.

(31:16):
That goes so against human nature. Something like this. Everybody
wants to be part of it, something like this. Everybody
wants to be on that stage. Something like this. Everybody
wants to be seen to be part of a solution.
If somebody comes along and wants to input work into
this but doesn't want to be known, you ought to
be very suspicious of the work. This is not normal

(31:38):
to want to remain anonymous when you think you are
presenting solutions. A representative for doctor Fauci did not respond
to a request for comment. A spokeswoman for Vice President
Mike Pence declined to comment. On a Thursday call with
conservative leaders, Pence said it was difficult to view the models,

(32:00):
but that the President thought it was important to share
with the American people. That's just one story. There's another
one from and this story goes on. There's another story
a hill dot com Trump officials privately questioned White House coronavirusy.
This story is probably more along the lines of actions.

(32:21):
This story is about how the White House is questioning
the data they've been given. But even so, the data
has been used to keep you home to shut down
at twenty two trillion dollar economy with no end in sight.
Damn it. Yeah. Now, in the midst of the information
and data I just passed out of you, we get

(32:42):
we get a headline like this yesterday from Politico quote,
how Fauci and Burke's got Trump to listen to science,
Politico celebrating how the brilliant people got this idiot Trump
to finally listen to the science. And yet we've got
a story today saying that these people have nothing to
do with the numbers that Trump used, the numbers that

(33:04):
the White House's you can numbers, and nobody knows how
the White House arrived at the numbers. It was Burke's
and Fauci that gave Trump these numbers and these invisible modelers.
And yet we've got a political headline how Fauci and
Burke's got Trump to listen to science. All right, but
I got started on the phones, promised, and we're going

(33:25):
to commit to that. Here is here's Herb Evanston. Why, Ohming,
great to have you on the program out there, Herb, Hello,
thank you much and the honor to speak with you, sir, Hey, yeah,
thank you very much. To you next week. I know
personally what you're going through. My point is this, I'm
a small business owner and I was tickled pink to

(33:45):
see a small two page application on this disaster loan process.
It only took me a few minutes to fill it
out and turn it in, and then I get back
a list of over fifteen items of documentation that I've
got to get for a small twenty thousand dollars loans
because wait a minute, is this is this the plan

(34:06):
that Manuchan announced yesterday? Yes, sir, I just got it
yesterday and sub minutes of the bank, and today they
sent me a list of a whole list of things
that I've got to gather up. Skin taken days or
weeks to get through this. Well that man Manuchin made
a point of saying that deposits are going to start

(34:29):
today and next week. There was nothing about any of that.
I'm not denying you the mess now, just I was,
I thought, Manuchin? And what was the high point of
the briefing yesterday, which was the opening part of the
briefing where they announced that they're going to keep small
businesses open by sending enough money to small five hundred
employees or fewer where you can keep your employees on

(34:52):
the payroll for when the eventual reopen happens, to reopen,
go back to work. Everybody's been paid all this time.
That's the objective of the plan here, I thought, exactly
the same thing when I saw the two page application.
But now I'm getting requests for over fifteen items, payal
expense for vacation nineties ninety ones with corresponding bank statements.

(35:17):
I've got to verify that all my employees live in
the United States, get copies of drivers licenses, a detailed
list with corresponding salaries, a trailing twelve months profit and
loss statements, and more. So I guess you're going to comply.
You've got no choice, right, You're just a little disappointed,

(35:37):
well said my friend. Yeah, you know, don't. Don't you
get frust I've had this happen so much to me
well throughout my life. But lately you're told ABC and
D and AB and C are not true and just
and you plan on AB and C and you get
ready for it, you get stalked up, you got and

(35:58):
then you find out, oh, well, yeah we forgot the guy.
I know how frustrating it's gotta be, but you gotta
do it. You got to do it. They're making the
money available low interest loans. They want you to keep
your employees paid so that you can get right back
in business once the medical people say it's okay. Larry

(36:24):
Cudlow says, the medical experts will tell us when it's
safe to open the economy. This is where we are.
You gotta break here at the top of the hour,
Open Line Friday. More of your phone calls are coming up.
Folks will be back here and continue before you know it.
Now this headline is finally shown up on Drudge. Experts

(36:48):
and advisers doubt the two hundred and forty thousand deaths
estimate from the White House. From the White House, how
about from the modelers? How about from the health professionals?
Folks who gave us these numbers? Damn it? Give me

(37:15):
Tiger King. I'm just kidding. Greetings, Welcome back, Open line Friday.
Rush lim Boy having more fun than a human beings
should be allowed to have because I'm doing what I
was born to do. I'm still lucky enough to be
able to do it, and I wish everybody could. This
is tearing me apart. This is literally tearing me apart.

(37:36):
What we are doing to our country. What is happening
to you? Why? From a Southern command in sunny South Florida,
it's open line Friday, Open line Friday. Whenever you want
to talk about eight hundred two eight two eight eight two.
If you want to be on the program. You are
the people that make the country work. You're on the

(37:57):
front lines. And many of you are now in the
central businesses and having to go to work in the
food supply chain, in the medical equipment supply chain, pharmacists,
people that run grocery stores and keep them stocked. And

(38:18):
it's thankless gig at this point. Now. Earlier in the
early in the week, we had a bunch of people
called I've Never expressing the challenge of being at home
with their kids and can't go outside or can't go
outside very often. And I offered some suggestions. It's a

(38:40):
great opportunity to teach discipline, Lord, No is not enough
of us have enough. It's a great opportunity to teach discipline.
It's a great opportunity to teach your kids about this country.
You have twenty four seven access to your kids. You
have an opportunity here to rest control of whatever poison

(39:01):
they were being taught. You know, the constitution this country
is woefully untaught. The founding of the country is woefully
into the story. The real Thanksgiving is not properly taught.
Even the Great Depression, how we came out of it
is not properly taught. People are not taught that the

(39:22):
Great Depression landed, lasted ten years longer than necessary because
FDR used it to do exactly what Gavin Newsom is
talking about, advance a progressive liberal agenda to empower the
Democrat Party for fifty years by creating nothing but as
many dependents as he could out of the American populations.
There's a golden opportunity for those of you homeschooling. You're

(39:46):
now learning about it, how to do it. It's frightening,
it's daunting, getting a new appreciation for teaching. So here's
what we have done. Many of you are become home
teachers now because your kids are home from school full time,
and who knows how long that's going to be the case,

(40:08):
and what kind of summer recess is there going to be?
What kind of summer vacation is there going to be?
So I mentioned earlier that we were working on a
page at Rush Revere dot com and Rush Lamba dot

(40:28):
com to make available an opportunity to get free versions
of the Rush Revere series. And Katherine, I would love
to help with your at home teaching efforts by offering
free Adventures of Rush Revere series books to you while
our supplies last. We always hold back supplies for things

(40:51):
like this. Now, it's been a long time since I've
talked about the Adventures of Rush Revere series, so let
me give you a little recap again. For those of
you who know the story have been here a while,
I beg your indulgence because every day people listening into
this program. For the first time. Some years ago, we

(41:11):
realized that there was a real void of accurate, truthful, patriotic,
engaging American history being taught to young people. So we
set out on a mission to write American History adventures
that made American history fun for young people people, not

(41:36):
just a fact based recitation of statistics and dates. We
devised a system to actually take the reader back into
that aspect of American history we were focusing on have
them learn it by actually being there, instead of just

(41:58):
memorizing boring acts for a test. We wanted young readers
to really experience history up close and it understand the
most incredible story, the founding of the United States of America,
one of the most incredible stories in all of mankind.

(42:21):
The founding of the United States and by teaching it
by actually being at the events that shaped the country.
So how do we do it? We created the vehicle
of time travel. We created the magic of time travel
via an incredibly funny, snarky, smart alec horse named Liberty.

(42:48):
We created a substitute teacher named rush Revere who owned
the horse Liberty, although Liberty didn't feel owned. Rush Revere
was a sub institute teacher at a middle school. Now,
Liberty could only time travel to events in American history.

(43:10):
Liberty could not do anything. Liberty could not go to
the future. Liberty could only go to things in the past.
It was a lightning strike that did something to Liberty
that made Liberty able to time travel, And so various
students from the rush Revere Middle School would be let

(43:31):
in on the secret and they would time travel back
to various incidents in American history. And each one of
these was one of the books in the series. In
the first book, Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, Rush
Revere and Liberty and the crew of young readers land
on the deck of the Mayflower. They learned about the

(43:51):
exciting voyage to the New World. They learned what it
was really about how difficult it really was, where it
really came from, why it happened in the first place.
Liberty is of course cracking jokes about the poop deck.
You know what the poop deck was, not even know
what the poop deck is. Well, the Liberty found out
about it and thought it was very funny. Young readers

(44:12):
get to meet and talk to George Washington, Benjamin Franklin,
Abigail Adams, women the women of our founding are prominently
featured in their Rush Revieer series. We've donated lots of
copies to various schools homeschoolers, and we've heard from teachers
and readers all over the world sharing their stories about

(44:32):
which adventures they like the most. Parents, more often than not,
writing to say how thrilled they are to see their
kids reading and enjoying American history for the first time,
because folks these books, because of the invention of time
travel with Liberty and the kids being able to ride
Liberties back back into time, they're actually there in these events.

(44:56):
And we don't make anything up. But we don't lie
about anything. We don't create anything to vance and agenda.
We just want kids to learn the absolute truth as
they can understand it in this age group about the
Founding of America. Five books in the series, every one
of them number one New York Times bestsellers. They have

(45:16):
been approved by accelerated readers. They have received countless five
star reviews. In fact, I even won You won't believe this.
I even won a Children's Author of the Year award
a short time back, and nearly shut down the event
of New York when I actually showed up to accept it. Now,

(45:39):
the books are geared for eight to twelve year olds,
but we've heard from people much younger and much older
who love the books as well. It's amazing there are
adults who've read these books who have told us we
didn't know that about some event in the founding of America,
which doesn't surprise us at all. The founding of this
country is something that for the longest time has not

(46:00):
been properly taught. There's been a war going on in
this country of the longest time to reshape it, to
cast the founding as a racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic event.
That America is unjust and immoral by its virtual existence,
veritable existence, That America has no moral authority because of

(46:21):
our original sin of slavery and our denial of women
the right to vote. So America has no moral authority
in the world. We're in a constant battle, and people
have not been from their youngest day just taught the truth,
and that's what we sought to correct. So here's a deal.
While you're all hunkered down at home and wondering how
to keep your kids engaged, let me encourage you to

(46:42):

various schools to teach the truth of American history. You

(47:48):
seven access to your kids. They have challenges to win

its own little subset of the program, and it's right there,

(48:09):
all there at rush Revere dot com with the free
book's icon. While supplies last, we're sending them. This is
no no, no, no, this isn't We're not selling them.
Were and this is not a sales pitch at all,
although the publisher is thinking that we ought to reissue
some in paperback, but we haven't decided. What this was

(48:32):
was a labor of love for Catherine and me. We're
thrilled to be able to share these adventures with you.
It was. It was so much fun to write these
and by the way, I did the audio version of
every one of these things, and it's it was just
so much fun. And it was such a delight to
take a stab at the opportunity to teach eight to

(48:55):
twelve year olds at truth about the founding of America.
Want everybody to love this country. We want everybody to
understand how special and blessed it is. Not because we're
better people. That's not what American exceptionalism is. American exceptionalism
is not that we are better people that are DNA
is special, that we're brighter, smart. That's not what American

(49:15):
exceptionalism is. You know, American exceptionalism is. You know what
the history of the human condition in the world is, folks.
I don't know how many of you ever stopped really
think about it. The history of the human condition is misery.
The vast majority, from the beginning of time, whenever that is,
whatever that was, the vast majority of human beings have

(49:39):
lived lives at poverty. They have not lived lives of plenty,
They have not lived lives of what we consider creature comforts.
Most people never knew about electricity. Most people never knew
about airplanes. Most people never knew about automobiles. Most people
never knew about the unity becomebustible. Most people knew nothing

(50:02):
but manual labor. Most people knew nothing but tyranny as
their form of government. Most people had nothing. Most people
had very little because they were not free. They were
born free. The natural yearning of the human spirit is
created by God. Is free. But there are people on

(50:25):
this earth who want to deny that freedom and control
that freedom. The United States is exceptional because it is
the first nation in the history of mankind which constructed
itself around the premise that the citizen runs the show
that the citizen is intrinsically free, inalienable rights that government

(50:50):
cannot deny because they come from God. They are part
of our creation. The Constitution of this country limits what
government can do. The first ten Amendments the Bill of Rights,
limit what government can do, not limit what the people
can do. The first ten Amendments spell out what the
people are free to do that the government cannot stop.

(51:12):
That had never happened in human history. That's the exception,
and that's why everybody wants to come to America. Because
of the freedom. The unleashed freedom that then unleashes opportunity
and potential. First time in human history, the Brits got
close with the Magna Carta. Magna Carter was one of

(51:33):
the foundational building blocks. But never has there been anywhere
in the world anything like the United States of America.
It's blessed. It is special. Your kids need to know
it if they haven't been taught the truth of it.
And it's why what's happening now is ripping my heart out,

(51:55):
shutting down the twenty two trillion dollar economy with stories
today that the two hundred and forty thousand death of
youre why, we don't know where that came from, white
guys using those numbers, those numbers what the modelers gave us,
the number, the health people gave us the number. Take
a break, We'll come back and continue Rush revered dot com.
Make sure you look for the free books icon. It's

(52:19):
open line Friday, Rush Limbob back at you and to
the phones. We returned to West Milford, Connecticut. Rob. Great
to have you with us, sir. Hello, how you doing, Russia.
It's an honor to be on your show. It is
great to have you back. Thank you very much. Great
to be back too. So I don't want Snardly mad
at me. I will get right to the point. What
would it matter if Snardley got mad at You're never

(52:40):
going to run into Snardley. You're probably never gonna get
through again. So what would it matter Snardly got mad
at yet? Yeah, I'd just like to keep everyone happier. Well, okay,
but you ought to worry whether I get mad at
you know it, Snardly? True. So I was calling about
the Coronavirus Commission that Nancy Pelosi is talking about putting together,
and I read it earlier today on Fox Rush. I

(53:02):
was more annoyed reading that than I think I was
at Russian conclusion, impeachment and all the other partisan garbage
that you tried to do. Now, even though this hasn't
hurt Trump, it's frustrating that it hasn't completely backfired on them.
I mean, this stuff should just tear them down. It's boy.
Is that ever true? Oh man? Is that ever right?

(53:25):
The fact that it hasn't yet cost them anything? Let
me tell you why she's really doing this. By the way,
clearly they would love nothing more than to be able
to impeach Trump. You throw it out. But the reason
they're really doing, the immediate reason is so that they
can have a briefing every day to combat Trumps. That's
what they're setting up. So do you think this could

(53:46):
be the thing though, Rush, Do you think this could
be the one thing at the end of the day
that just completely turns the American people off, cost her speakership,
cost them seats. I mean, there's got to be a point.
I have to tell you something. I don't know why
the American people haven't ditched them yet. Yeah, they haven't
been right about anything. They've been lied. They've been lying

(54:07):
to people about Trump Russia collusion, Ukraine Avanati, Stormy Daniels,
Michael Cohen, whatever they have dreamed up, and the FBI
lying with the FISA applications. It's now being is not
being reported. That was even worse than what we all
knew it, but it's now finally being reported how bad
it was. Come McCabe struck stroke smirk. I don't know

(54:28):
how anybody has any faith in them anyway. Schiff, Adam
Schiff is obviously one of the most dishonest slubs that's
been running around running shows on this and it's look,
I've been doing the program thirty one years, and I
have been frustrated that people haven't seen the truth about
Democrats even in that time. So what's why I guess
gott to keep hammering them. But this illustrates the power

(54:50):
of the mainstream media. They're propping them up, man, they're
propping them up, and they continue to beat up on
Trump and they're Look get the way they're eagerly reporting
the loss of seven hundred thousand jobs for crying out loud,
and look how the plays into the Democrat agenda. Imagine
being in a political party benefiting from all this, that
this is what has to happen for your party to benefit.

(55:11):
I wouldn't want to be in a party like that. No,
And I just somehow they just they just seem to
get away with it over and over. I mean, yeah,
it's it's good that it hasn't hurt him, but there's
really no consequence. But it has hurt aping. It has
it has it has her. It's it's it's slowed down
the agenda, it's distracted him. The presidential approval number is

(55:35):
a key number. They've kept that number in the load
of mid forties. If Trump's approval number would have been
in the mid fifties, like Clinton's Wise or like Obama's
West Katy Bar the door that Trump has been able
to overcome. Don't misunderstand, but they have delayed. They have
slowed down a number of things that Trump wanted to do,
including including the the reforming of Obamacare and the wiping

(56:00):
out and rebuilding a healthcare system, and so fort that
many many other things like that. Look Bill Barr's guide Durham.
This investigation is going on out there, but everything suspended
now because of this, because of the coronavirus. But I
remain convinced that that investigation was going to prove fruitful

(56:21):
and they were going to be details forthcoming. Paul McCartney
and Wings here, this is coming up. The live version
is the only version of the song at this tempo.
If you get the studio version of this song, it's
not even half this speed. It's kind of worthless, which
is why we play the live version in the Mumper

(56:43):
rotation the EIB network. Here is Genevieve. She's fifteen years
old of Virginia Beach, Virginia. Great to have you, Genevieve,
Hello Fu. I first wanted to tell you what an
honor it is to be able to speak to you today,
and that my family and I are praying you well.
I I appreciate that. I thank you, and you know what,

(57:06):
you know what, I'm praying for you too. I prayed
for thirty minutes in bed last night for this to
end because of what it's doing to everybody. Thank you, sir.
And I'm a rust grand baby, and I wanted to
tell you how much I love listening to your show
and reading your books. And the other week I was

(57:26):
to think in my room, thinking about how you've inspired me,
and I realized that you reminded me of the prophet
John the Baptist, who has set before Jesus to prepare
the world for his coming, and he inspired and educated
the people for their own benefit, not for his own glorification.
And because of this, the Pharisees, who I equoted to
today's leftist and elite, hated him for this. But he

(57:49):
cursed years through the hardship, just as you do today.
And I thank you for that. Jenevieve that that's that's
a that's a mouthful for a fifteen year old that
you you are. You're claiming that I taught you how
to critically think you're when do you have no misunderstand
But what have you had a chance to listen to
the program? You're in school? Are you homeschooled by fans? Yes,

(58:12):
I am. I knew it. I knew it. It It had
to be the answer. Well, aren't you sweet? That that
that is that is as that special compliment, because it's
one of the many things that I actually hope happens
as a result of people listening to program like this

(58:32):
is they end up thinking for themselves rather than just
accepting and rather so many people are sheep genevieve. The
experts wherever they are say something and you believe it,
and the conventional wisdom forms, and that's group think, and
everybody goes along with it. And if you question it.
It takes guts to question conventional wisdom. It takes guts
not to be a conformist. I could have never made

(58:55):
it if I working for I'm not a conformist. It's
why I couldn't make it in corporate America. But you
you are, You're you're ahead of the game. That's that's
that's very very flattering. If you know, I appreciate it.
Thank you. I've you've certainly helped me with different debates
and reports and satten itself. Thank you for that. I

(59:19):
in eighth grade. We have I'm sure your parents have
had a lot to do with this too. Now you
can't you can't. You can't give me all the credit
because I would take it. So you you you have
to make sure you give your parents so some of
the credit too. Well, they introduced me to you, and
well you know you're going. I had a speech meet

(59:39):
on and I chose to do climate change for my debate,
and all your facts definitely helped people. Man, that is
even better that I helped you to see clear through
the fog of deceit that is climate change, man made
climate change. Oh, that was my whole prom This call

(01:00:01):
gets even better and it went pretty well, and I again,
it definitely helped I. I could have gone on and
on with a report, but unfortunately we only had a page,
so I couldn't go too much. Well, how are you

(01:00:22):
whiling away the time? Now? Are you in fact at
home with your parents? Yep? I keep him busy. Well,
I do help my parents, homeschool the others, my my siblings,
and helping around the house, cleaning up and now you
get bored. I'm sure you're you're fifteen, You're you're you've

(01:00:42):
got You've got energy. You can run rings around your parents'
energy wise, how how are you personally dealing with any boredom?
Because your answer here can help people, because I guarantee
there are a lot of people going stir crazy inside
trying to figure out, you know, how to keep themselves engaged, busy.
You can only read so many hours, and they can
only watch television so many hours a day. You can

(01:01:04):
only talk to so many people. So how do you
do it? How do you deal with or maybe I
should ask have you gotten board yet? Well? I have
three younger siblings, so that definitely helps with the boredom.
But so far, we've planted a garden, and I've taken
the chance to learn new things such as crocheting or

(01:01:24):
I'm definitely reading a lot. As my mom fondly calls
me a bookoholic. You know, you know you just said something.
I think you said something that's a key for me. Anyway.
I strive every day to learn something. I strive every
day to learn something I didn't know. I I try

(01:01:46):
to learn something new about something I do know. I
don't think there is anything that keeps can keep a
person more engaged than learning. Learning never stops. It's impossible
for any human being to know everything that humanity knows. Now.
Do you know when that was? When was the last

(01:02:08):
time in world history when it was possible to know
everything that was known? William F. Buckley Junior tackled this
in of all places, a Playboy article which was entitled
Redefining Smart And I can't remember it. I'll have to
look up the articles. I've kept it. But he calculated

(01:02:29):
when it was that the most educated human being on
earth was capable of knowing everything that was known, all
of the knowledge that had been charted. That's impossible today.
It's impossible for any one person to know everything that's known,
because what is known now is massive. But that means
there is a heck of a lot to learn. I

(01:02:52):
try to learn something new, for example, my iPhone every
day that and then use it. I try to learn
something new about my iPad every day. I try to
learn something about UH news items, stories that I'm interested in,
be they political or scientific or what. I'm just learning
something every day and then being able to explain it

(01:03:12):
to somebody else. Is one of the things I've always
thought would keep my mind young, not my body, but
my mind. You keep me engaged. And that's what you're doing.
And if if you you can't help it at your
age at fifteen, you're you're going to be learning simply
getting out of bed every day and absorbing what happens

(01:03:34):
to you, and that that that will, that'll go a
long way to keep you from getting bored. I agree.
And you can learn anywhere you can. You can learn.
You can learn from You can even learn from watching
Tiger King. It may be insufferably painful, yes you can.

(01:03:56):
You can learn what not to do, you can learn
things not to say. You can learning. Opportunities are virtually
everywhere out there at any rate. Genevieve, great to have
you in the audience. I'm so glad you called. Thank
you so much. Next as Cheryl in Olatha, Colorado. It's

(01:04:17):
great to have you. You're next. Hello, Hi, Rush, It's
so good to talk to you and so good to
hear you back on the radio. We love you. We
trust that you are staying safe because between you and Trump,
you two have made a meritich rate. Again, thank you
very much. We're doing everything we can't here doing everything
we can, although I want to warn you, and I
gotta be here Monday. I got to go back and

(01:04:39):
restart the treatments, which means the odds are that I'm
gonna start feeling like crap again pretty soon next week.
Hope not never know, but the odds are, so make
the most of this day. Well, you just hope it
works for you this time. But well, the last time worked,
that is the great irony, is the last time worked
it was it was really wrecking the tumor and it

(01:05:01):
was also wrecking me. So we have a suspended Uh. Well,
I hope you find something that for them working for
you too. Okay, So what I called about this has
been bothering me for maybe a month before um uh
Biden said that he was going to have a woman

(01:05:22):
running mate. I'm thinking if if he ends up being
a nominee, he's going to have Clinton cricket Hillary run
is his running mate, and if somehow it's yeah, wait
a minute, wait a minute, that's not he had a name.
Who did he mention it was going to be? Is
Ro Was it some governor or something? Snartily you've been

(01:05:43):
paying attention to this the governor. The governor of Michigan
isn't one he touted. I don't think. I don't if
if he, if he tried to name Hillary Clinton Obama
would come out of hiding wherever he is and put
the gabbash on it that that that's not going to happen.
They're not, No, I hope not. But you know, whoever

(01:06:06):
he elects, what's going to happen. I think he's getting
dementia and he's gonna be if he was somehow elected,
God probidio is. I don't think he has a chance. Um,
then he's going to be determined and competent to run,
and whoever is his running mate is going to be
the president. And that's why my hearer has been Hilary.
All right, Well, look, I think it's going to be

(01:06:29):
worse than that. I don't think. I think that they
would keep Plugs as the front man for as long
as he can stand up. I think the powers behind
Plugs would rather remain invisible, exercising the power pulling the levers,
rather than out there facing it each and every day.

(01:06:51):
So as long as as long as Plugs could serve
as the figurehead with the real powers that be in
that way, we wouldn't know who they are. We wouldn't
know who's actually running the Biden administration. But look, you know,
knock on for Micah. Here, this is this is April

(01:07:15):
the third. Nobody predicted the coronavirus. Anybody want to go
back to the polls in January and tell me how
meaningful they were, says, it's ridiculous to start predicting things.
It's fun and that's about all it's worth. But sitting
here right now, there is no way. There is no
way that Joe Biden can possibly be elected. He couldn't

(01:07:38):
withstand five minutes on a debate stage with Donald Trump.
Then there's the old saw. The American people want to
change horses in midstream during a crisis like this. And folks,
if we're not back up and running economically by September,
then you can't factor anything today with any kind of

(01:08:02):
certitude if we're not up and running nobbies, which reminds me,
I gotta get to the second story about this. Let
me do that. We come back from the break. Thanks
Cheryl very much for me call. We'll be back before
you know it. Hey, look at this, folks, somebody is
joining me in my chorus. This is from the Washington

(01:08:23):
Examiner Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs. The Freedom Caucus is
a conservative group in the Republican Caucus and House of Representatives.
Representative Andy Biggs Get America back to work. Amen, Let
me give a couple of poll quotes. We are crippling
our economy. We are witnessing the destruction of the life

(01:08:46):
savings of entrepreneurs and investors who have created small and
medium sized businesses. At least ten million workers have lost
their jobs over the past two weeks. Friday's jobs reports
showed the unemployment rate person by almost a full percentage
point in March. It's only going to grow. It's only
going to get worse. Twenty five percent of small business

(01:09:07):
say they're close to closing, so millions more workers expected
to be unemployed in the weeks and months ahead. Currently,
state of local governments are attempting to determine what businesses
are essential. In the process, they are wiping out the
soul of the American economy. Congressman Bigs says it's time

(01:09:32):
for a new approach, one that values and protects all life. Folks.
This is not a debate about life versus money. Lives
versus money. This is lives versus lives the debate we
are having in this. Don't let anybody tell you this
is about money versus lives. It's not. It's about lives
versus lives. We're telling your work is essential, Yours isn't.

(01:09:58):
Yours is essential? Yours isn't yours is essential? Yours isn't.
You get to go to work, you get to get paid,
you don't. That's lives versus lives, and that is not good.
We must give hope to the public. Set forth a
plan to reopen the economy exactly get rid of this uncertainty.

(01:10:19):
There needs to be a light at the end of
the tunnel. A plan to reopen the economy needs to
be announced to remove the oppressive government restrictions. Right now,
the cure is proving worse than the diseased. Thank you,
Congressman Biggs. I know I'm not alone in this. Don't misunderstand.

(01:10:42):
Even John Podorrits, a never trumper, extraordinary writing today about
Andrew Cuomo. The headline, please Andrew Cuomo, give us some
reason to hope during this isolation, by which I mean
we better be flattening that curve. So far Governor Cuomo,

(01:11:07):
We New Yorkers are cooperative and uncomplaining because we understand it.
We're part of an effort to keep our health system
from collapsing under the weight of excessive numbers of COVID
nineteen sufferers, which matters to us far more, by the way,
than the fear that we might catch it. But here's
the problem, and it's something our newly and nationally celebrated
governor and others need to be aware of. They have

(01:11:31):
to give us reason to believe that this period has
been of value. They need to give us reason to
believe that this is going to end. And that's not
coming through during Cuomo's daily news conferences. What's coming through

(01:11:53):
is love of process. People are falling in love with
the permanence of this. People are not like people are
starting to accept the permanence of the This ought not
be permanent in anybody's mind. Everybody involved in this ought
to have is the primary objective ending this and putting

(01:12:16):
this country back to work. Why isn't that at the
forefront we can we can walk into gum at the
same time, we can have the same concern for the
health aspects. We can have that and still have the
same concern for the economy and putting people back to work.
Thank you, Congressman Biggs. Trump officials privately questioned White House

(01:12:38):
coronavirus death toll estimate. I thank the media maybe setting
the table to try to deny Donald Trump credit for
lower fatalities than the models are predicting. That's what I
think this is all about. The media has been hyping
huge death tolls. There help meet remembered during the First

(01:13:00):
Gulf War, all these bodybags the US military was going
to need because the US military had no way to
beat it. I'm saying, we don't know desert warfare. We're
gonna die bodybags hundreds of thousand. Sam Donaldson excited the
media today, all excited about one hundred thousand bodybags being ordered.

(01:13:22):
Media excited about huge death tolls projections. One hundred thousand,
two hundred and forty thousand deaths were announced. Trump looks
scared now the story is. Trump officials privately questioned the
death toll estimate. Well, the death toll estimate comes from
Fauci and Burkes and whoever they're getting their modeling data from.

(01:13:44):
We get back from the top of the hour break,
we'll talk a little bit about hydroxa clarquin. How it
is faring out there. Doctor Fauci this morning got a
little cross examination on his steadfast pooh pooing of Clara Quinn.
And of course we will get back to your phone calls.

(01:14:06):
Lots of people lined up patiently waiting back before you
know it, Here folks, and greetings, welcome back. Great to
have you here. It's Rush Limbaugh and the EIB Network,
the Limbo Institute for Advanced Studies of Everything that matters. Remember,
there are no graduates at the institute. There are no
degrees because the learning never stops. Why From a Southern

(01:14:28):
command in sunny South Florida, it's open line Friday. Hey,
mister Snurgley, who is the guest host on Monday? Mark
mark Stein will be here on Monday. I must, I
must be away on Monday to restart he temporarily suspended

(01:14:52):
cancer treatments. Man, it's been such a blessing these past
two weeks. I've felt totally normal, and that's going to
end by definition, but we will muddle through. Nevertheless, I'm
told that everything can be done on Monday. Be back
here on Tuesday. That is the plan. Okay, this morning.

(01:15:22):
This morning, doctor Fauci was on Fox and he finally
got a little cross examination. Doctor Fauci is not supportive
of Clark. When I drucks the Clark, when me in
combination with Zithromiason, he's not a big fan. I drops

(01:15:47):
a Clark when is a proven malaria fighter, and it's
been around and approved of the FDA for decades, but
it hasn't been approved for this fast tracking it. People
are prescribing it various places, surveys of doctors very hopeful,
seems to be working. We're not hearing much about it.

(01:16:08):
Doctor Fauci was asked about it and he pretty much
pooh pooed it on the basis that we don't have
time to test it. There hasn't been enough blind testing,
there hasn't been enough clinical testing, the usual derigorous stuff.
Now at the moment, seventy five percent of the doctors
in Spain are prescribing clara Quin. Doctor Fauci remains steadfast

(01:16:34):
in his bureaucracy. Doctor Fauci is a conformist, is a scientist, obviously,
can I you know, it's really tough to say some
things here, but I'm sorry, folks, that's that's what I do.

(01:17:00):
The National Institutes for Health and the Centers for Disease Control,
we're told they're among the best of the best, and
why are they there. The Centers for Disease Control in
IH are supposed to know about all of the evil
viruses in microbes and all that stuff all over the world,

(01:17:22):
and they're supposed to be studying it. They're supposed to
be aware of it. They're supposed to be devising ways
to protect America from these vicious diseases. And they got
caught up short and now they're out there with the Chinese.
Didn't tell us the truth, and I'm my goodness, the
Chinese didn't tell us the truth about how contagious it was.

(01:17:45):
And that's my question is how can these people remain
unassailable saviors when they are part of a bureaucracy that
was obviously unprepared for this. They were as stunned and

(01:18:07):
shocked as any of us were, and yet they automatically,
because of their positions, assume positions at the top of
the authority ladder. But they were caught. They didn't have
the slightest idea about coronavirus, and when it first hit,

(01:18:34):
they seemed content to think it would stay in China,
and they seemed content to believe that it wasn't contagious,
that it couldn't be spread person to person because the
Chinese didn't tell them the truth about it. The Chinese lie.
By definition, communism is built on deception. Never forget. Never

(01:18:57):
forget the initial estimates they showed us predicted two point
two million deaths in the United States by August. I
know I'm going to catch hell, But you know, I'm
telling people, people are telling me, don't worry what the
media says about you. Don't worry about the media taking

(01:19:18):
out of context. You've got to keep speaking out for
the people here. I fully intend to. I just you know,
not being a conformist comes naturally to me. Not following
conventional wisdom comes naturally to me, and questioning common sense
that doesn't seem common to me comes naturally to me too.

(01:19:41):
And we're investing expertise in a bunch of people have
got caught short here, and now, after having got caught short,
they have become experts. And now we're being told that
they are in charge of when and if our economy
will be reopened. Now, to me, here is the difference

(01:20:02):
between a health professional, bureaucrat expert and Donald Trump. I
believe anybody can identify risk. I don't think it takes
any special training. I don't think you have to be
a lawyer or a doctor. I don't think you need
to have twelve years a residency or whatever it is
to recognize risk. You know what the rare quality is.

(01:20:28):
The rare quality is quantifying risk. That's the talent, that's
the skill, that's the expert to Anybody can tell you
that something's bad out there, and anybody can tell you
to go hide from it. Anybody can tell you to

(01:20:48):
hunker down. Anybody can tell you to stay home. You
don't need experts for this, but you do need at
spurts to put it all in perspective. You need experts.
You need somebody with some kind of guts and knowledge

(01:21:09):
and instinct combined with experience guided by intelligence to be
able to quantify risk. For example, either this pandemic is
serious enough to destroy the US economy or it Isn't

(01:21:32):
you think Fredo Cuomo has taken the drug? Do you
think Fredo has taken Clarkwin? Well, how do we know that?
How do we know that he's taking. No, how do
we know that he's taking anything he thinks will work?
How do we know that we because you think anybody would. Okay,

(01:21:54):
so you believe that Fredo's taking that, Joe. Let's say
Fredo's taken hydro clarkwin hydropxic Clark. When I say he's
taking it, and a lot of people would want to
take it if they got sick, a lot of people
being required to go to the hospital and beg for it.

(01:22:16):
Clarkwen is a seventy year medicine whose side effects are known,
they are quantified. We don't need months and months of
clinical trial on Clark when we've already done it. But
not for this disease rush. The FDA is mired in protocols.

(01:22:42):
The health experts are mired in well, this is the
way we've always done it. They're mired in their bureaucratic techniques,
and they don't like anybody horning in on the game,
even when there is ample anecdotal evidence that a particular

(01:23:03):
drug might be helpful. So, as usual, what we have
is Donald Trump up against a bureaucracy. It doesn't matter
who's in it. He's up against a bureaucracy. And I
hope that it is Trump who makes the call as

(01:23:23):
to win this economy gets reopened. Meanwhile, the days are
passing by. Now, let me go to the hydro Clark
when hydroxa Clark when stock. Here, here's a story from
the New York Post, and we had this, No, we

(01:23:44):
did have this yesterday. Two stories. I had this yesterday,
so I want to repeat them. The headline hydroxa clark
when rated most effective coronavirus treatment poll of doctors finds
an international poll thousands of doctors rated the anti malaria
drug hydrug clark when the best treatment for the novel
coronavirus six thousand, two hundred and twenty seven doctors surveyed

(01:24:09):
thirty countries, thirty seven percent rated hydroxy clark when the
most effective therapy for combating the coronavirus, according to results
released yesterday. The survey was conducted by Sermo. It's, a
global healthcare polling company. Found that twenty three percent of
medical professionals had prescribed the drug of the US, far

(01:24:32):
less than in other countries. Survey found that outside America,
hydroxa clark when was equally used for diagnosed patients with
mild and severe symptoms, whereas in the US it was
most commonly used for high risk diagnosed patients. The medicine
most widely used in Spain, seventy two percent of physicians

(01:24:54):
said they had prescribed it. Now A baked about hydroxa
clarkwin was sparked a couple of weeks ago after Trump
touted the drug as a possible game changer in the
fight against COVID nineteen. Now, the World Health Organization, it's
at the back pocket of China. The World Health Organization

(01:25:18):
is as is as bad as the United Nations. The
World Health Organized. The guy that runs the World Health
Organization is out pimping for China because China put him
in the position. This guy that runs the World Health
Organizations in praising China for being truthful and honest in

(01:25:40):
having the best policies to deal with the coronavirus. The
Chinese haven't told anybody the truth about it. We got
doctor Burke's out there. Think they didn't tell us the
crude about how candigd it is. Meanwhile, the World Health
Organization saying the Chicoms are showing the way, they're leading
the way. This guy's bogus. This guy has no credibility.
The World Health Organis ought not even have a legitimate

(01:26:02):
voice in this debate because the guy running it is
in the back pocket of the Chinese government. And this
guy is out saying that there is no evidence that
any medicine can prevent or cure the disease. Well, there's
a lot of doctors out there who say that it
is helping. The CEO of the Medical Polling Unit here

(01:26:26):
Sermo called the polling results a treasure trove of global
insight for policymakers. Here is another story, this from Fox
News headline after mocking Trump for promoting hydroxy claric when
journalists acknowledge it might treat coronavirus. After repeatedly mocking President

(01:26:50):
Trump for suggesting March nineteenth and hydroxychloric win could be
an effective treatment for the coronavirus, media organizations having gone
acknowledging that the drug now proved for emergency use, but
the FDA may be useful after all, Journalists and top Democrats, really,

(01:27:12):
journalists and top Democrats wonder why that association exists. Journalists
and top Democrats have beaten a similar hasty retreat from
their previous claims that Trump's ban on travel from China
was both xenophobic and in effective. They're now having to
change their tune because Trump was non xenophobic. The early

(01:27:33):
band was effective. The ABC News has run a story
on the numbers of people from China that came to
this country potentially carrying this virus, as in the seven
hundred thousand number starting in December. Seven hundred thousand. ABC

(01:27:57):
News trump bands travel in January. They call him a xenophogue,
they call him a racist. Now they're backtracking on that.
Media outlets misinformation on hydroxy clarican was unique because it
involved not simply policy disagreements, but also suggestive medical advice
and directives that could have dissuaded some from seeking certain treatments.

(01:28:21):
The New York Times reported this week malaria drug helps
virus patients improve In small study, They added, a group
of moderately ill people were given hydroxa claric when, which
appeared to ease their symptoms quickly, but more research is needed.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Witner, a Democrat, went from threatening doctors

(01:28:42):
who prescribed the drug with administrative action to requesting that
the federal government ship her state sum Can I ask
something what about hospital discharges versus admissions are more in
New York, more people are being released from the hospital

(01:29:03):
having had coronavirus that are being admitted. Now you're not
hearing about that, But I just saw the story USA
Today editorial boards similarly aggressive, mocking, writing that coronavirus treatment
doctor Donald Trump pedals snake oil and false hope. There's

(01:29:24):
no approoved therapies of drugs for COVID nineteen, but the
president's out there promoting someone. Now everybody's agreeing that it works,
except for doctor Fauci. Another story, I dropza claric when
most effective coronavirus treatment poll? This is about the doctors.
Another poll of six thousand doctors. And then we have

(01:29:45):
the story the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center that we
had yesterday that they think they're on the way to
finding a vaccine sooner than a year from September. We
must take a brief time out. We'll come back. Your
phone calls are next on open line and Friday. Don't
go away. Talent on lawn from a god. It's rush

(01:30:11):
lynbo Eibing at work, Open line Friday. Back to the phone.
Steven stock Bridge, Michigan, Hello, sir, rush megamondo diddos from
the lockdown communist state of Michigan. The lockdown communist state
of Michigan. Welcome sir, great to have you. You're making

(01:30:32):
me laugh. I like that. Oh we have to laugh.
The governor came out yesterday talking about a seventy day
extension on this and small businesses here are withering on
the vine. They are. It doesn't bother you that certain
businesses are being said to be essential and others are not.

(01:30:55):
So they can go to work and they can pay me.
You can't I do that. That is a minor issue
in the bigger picture personally, But I really feel the
media has has to take a financial burden in this
panic in historia that they've created it. Well, they are

(01:31:15):
taking a financial burden. The media is asking for bailouts
the media, no seriously, I mean, they're having advertisers who
are dropping out. It's it's let me tell you something.
In the media world out there, it is bad right now,
particularly in print media, but in some places in um

(01:31:35):
in broadcast idiots. Bad out there. The New York Times
is even talking about needing a bailout if you want
them to suffer economically. They are but remember most of
their owned by conglomerates, and they can actually treat them
as loss leaders. ABC's part of Disney, NBC's part of Comcasts.
So but that you want them to suffer Fini actually

(01:32:00):
because you think that they are contributing to the decline. Here,
I think they have totally created the panic, the hysteria.
I think they've they've perpetuated this economic meltdown. I fought
them expressly in this well it is I believe that

(01:32:23):
something about the media hasn't changed. They want Donald Trump harmed.
They want Donald Trump somehow out of office. Even if
it could be made to happen before the election, they
do it. They take it. If it takes until the election, fine,
And there's no question that that's flavoring and coloring the

(01:32:44):
way they're reporting a news. I mean they were they
were giddy. Some of these networks were giddy today reporting
seven hundred thousand jobs lost. Some were disappointed it wasn't more.
But the media is a constant steve. The media, especially
since I don't know how far you want to go back,

(01:33:06):
but let's let's just go back to twenty sixteen. In
the campaign, the media has been consistently filled with undisguised
hatred for Donald Trump, and they have thrown every concept
of journalism out the window to getting So there's nothing
new about how the media is reacting here. The media

(01:33:29):
is behaving to type. They are hyping bag news. You
realize the hurricane forecast came out earlier this week, and
they're all excited. Four major hurricanes may hit the country
during this They're so excited they can barely hold their
breath together over the damage that might finally do to

(01:33:50):
Donald Trump. They don't care about the damage it might
do to you. So much uncertainty in the news, and man,
is there ever uncertain and it needs to end. You know,
I saw Apple about what was it? I don't know.
A few weeks ago. Apple said that they were going

(01:34:11):
to start opening stores at the beginning of April. That's
out the window. But you know what Apple is saying.
Apples saying they're going to start opening their stores in May. Now,
now that's their target. Okay, that's I appreciate that Apple
is trying. Apple is trying to erase the uncertainty. They're
trying to look down the road and see when they
might actually be able to open stores. They've opened all

(01:34:32):
of their stores in China. You know, Apple's up and
running full speed in China. The supply chain, Instein has
been up and running. Their their production supply chain for
new iPhones up and running. They just don't know what
kind of demand there's going to be here for a
new iPhone. They made delay the new iPhone because there
may not be any money with people have to buy one.

(01:34:55):
But but they're up and running in China. And now
they're talking about maybe opening some oars in America in
May because the current lockdown of course in most places
to lead into April. Well, with all of this uncertainty
in the news and everybody's staying at home, you want

(01:35:16):
to feel safe at home becomes much more important. It
could account for why so many more people are using
this time to properly protect their homes. You know a
lot of people doing things that they've been putting off
because they haven't had time or inclination. One of those
things is a home security system and simply safe. You'd

(01:35:39):
be surprised they are as busy as ever shipping home
security systems to people like you who are taking more
time to make sure finally that their homes are protected
simply safe systems do not require an installation crew. Nobody
has to come to your house to put it in,

(01:36:00):
and don't let that put you off. This is made
possible by the elimination of wires. You go to simply
say if USA dot Com see what they have the
various sensors, doors and windows, motion detectors, HD cameras, glass
break sensors. You figure out what you want and where
you want to put them, and if you can, if

(01:36:21):
you can rip stick them off and then stick something
up on a door window, you can install a sensor.
Then you get a base station. All these sensors connect
to the base station via Wi Fi. So if a
violation of any window, door, motion detector, the base station
goes crazy, wailing away with a siren and so forth,
and they call the cops. If you have the twenty
four seven monitoring, but there's no site surveying necessary, no wires,

(01:36:43):
nobody has to come to your house, nobody knows where
your sensors are. And because it's wireless, every sensor and
motion detector, every other component connects with Wi Fi and
then the base station connects via cellular to the local
police and fire department. Your system arrives pretested, preconfigured. Your

(01:37:06):
job is to unpack the box and stick the sensors
on the windows and doors where you chose them to go,
and then activate them. It's easy, take you less than
an hour twenty four seven. Monitoring only fourteen ninety nine
a month, and there's no long term contract. It's a
month to month thing. Cancel at anytime you want. You

(01:37:29):
can see the system online simply safe USA dot com.
You get a free HD camera right now when you
buy your system. Website again is simply Safe USA dot com. Walsall, Wisconsin, Carson,
you're next. I'm glad you waited. Great to have you
with us today. Hello, sir Carson, testing one through the Carson, Walsall, Wisconsin.

(01:37:51):
Are you there? He's not. He was twelve years old,
schools closed. This is his finish well, too bad. Todd,
Fort Wayne, Indiana? Are you there? Hello? Young man? Hey,
how are you good? My prayers are with you. Thank you.
I appreciate that, and you know I know it, and

(01:38:13):
I very very much appreciate it. I just want to
tell you, in more than thirty years of listening to you,
the most important thing that you taught me, I remember
you just mentioned it in passing one day that after
your father passed away, you called your mother every day.
And my father passed away in twenty fourteen, and every

(01:38:37):
day after that I called my mother and it's something
I will never regret. And she passed away last April.
This will be coming up her first anniversary of her death.
So I just wanted to thank you for all that
time and the importance you put on that. Well, You're
more than welcome. I'm I'm flattered. I'm always amazed when

(01:38:59):
I find out what people here hear, the things that
they hear on this program that resonate and stick with them.
I'm always surprised. I remember when I when I when
I met when I met the cancer doc team and
started talking about various sects, and I said, well, you know,
I host a radio program, and the guy looked at

(01:39:21):
me like I'm an idiot. Well, of course I know that,
I said. I never assume that everybody listens, and I don't.
So I'm always I'm always fascinated the things people here
take away. I mean I can sit here and think
I have been as profound as ever and I'll get

(01:39:41):
zero reaction to it, and then I'll do a throwaway
this or that and people man was that smart? Man?
I love it? So you just never know what people
are gonna hear you. Just I just make sure I
never phone it in each and every day. Uh. Audio

(01:40:02):
sound bites grab numbers eight and nine. Victor Davis Henson
was on the Ingram Angle last night with Laura Ingram.
He's a senior fellow Brilliant man Hoover Institution Campus, Stanford.

(01:40:24):
Palowal that he's a farmer in the California Central Valley. Questions,
she asked him, the left never lets a good crisis
go to waste. Victor, you and I have talked about
this before, but will people see through some of these schemes?
Will they ultimately recoil and resist them? People are advocating

(01:40:46):
to manipulate the crisis, and more importantly, to enact an
agenda they didn't have fifty support. We saw that in
the Democratic primaries nobody wanted the Green New Deal or
Medicare for all or open borders. A desire to alipulate
this crisis for an agenda that does not have popular
support and would transform or reject the status quo before

(01:41:07):
the virus, which was the best economy we've had in
decades doesn't make any senel right. And his point here
is that the left must always force what it wants
on us because it's never popularly supported. The Left did
not win the White House running on this agenda. Crazy
Bernie running on this agenda did not win the Democrat nomination,

(01:41:30):
and so they're going to force it. They're going to
take the occasion of the crisis of the coronavirus to
force this communist progressive agenda on everybody through the spending
bills and through the other efforts to restimulate the economy.
The next question he got from Laura Ingram, what youve
got to imagine the policymakers at some point will hear

(01:41:54):
from the people who are suffering with these job losses
in these business and say, hey, you know, we've got
live as well. We have to somehow to preserve them.
We need to get back to work. I'm sitting in
the state that's the fifth largest economy in the world
that's completely shut down, and we've suffered less than two
hundred and fifty deaths, and we have about three million
people three people per million that have died. We have

(01:42:19):
twice the population of New York and we've suffered one
tenth to death. We have three people per million dying.
That's just a fact of life. When we have seven
hundred and sixty people in California dyeing every day, and
during this crisis, we've had about four extra I want
to go through this again because this is the point
I have been trying to focus on California all week,

(01:42:41):
Aside from the stark shocking impact of these numbers, is
what they mean. Now, let's go through this. California, the
fifth largest economy in the world. It is completely shut down.
Forty million people live in the state of California and

(01:43:01):
they have suffered less than two hundred and fifty deaths
from Corona. Three people per million have died, and they
have shut down the state because of it. Three million
people are three people per million population have died. California

(01:43:24):
has twice the population of New York, and yet they've
only suffered one tenth the deaths. Three people per million die.
It is a fact. It's not opinion. Do you know
seven hundred and sixty people die in California every day

(01:43:45):
from various things, traffic accidents, cancer, old age, you name it,
and I'll tell you this is something else that's happening
that you bet you better be aware of. The authority
are assigning coronavirus as cause of death to people who
may be dying from other things. They are invested in

(01:44:11):
the stats because the stats equal money, stats equal attention,
stats equal federal bailouts. But these numbers in California are striking.
Why in the world, with all of the people from
China who have flown in and out of California five
to seven thousand a day since December, why are these
numbers so low there. I maintain to you that it

(01:44:32):
is heard. What's the word I'm having a metal block heard? Immunity?
I can immunize themselves. I think people in California had
this disease in December January, didn't know what it was.
Many people lived through it got better built up anybody's
before anybody knew what coronavirus was, before anybody knew what

(01:44:55):
it escaped China. Because social distancing cannot explain the low numbers.
They only started social distancing two days prior to New York.
Two days of lead time of social distancing will not
explain the great disparity in these numbers. Again, forty million
people in California. The state economy is shut down. Forty

(01:45:21):
million people. They have less than two hundred and fifty
deaths from coronavirus. Three people per million have died. They've
got twice the population of New York and yet one
tenth the number of deaths, three people per million dying.

(01:45:45):
Seven hundred and sixty people die in California every day.
They've shut down the state because two hundred and fifty
deaths have happened from coronavirus. Victor Davis Hanson, we've had
about for extra on average. Take a break and be back.

(01:46:06):
Don't go away, folks. All right, we've talked about television.
Watching television during the break, during the shutdown, during the
time you are not allowed to leave home and go
to work. Let me give you a binge watching idea
from Hillsdale College. They have their own contributions to offer

(01:46:27):
when it comes to beinge watching. Hillsdale College is offering
free online courses. You talk about learning, learning every day.
Nothing will keep you more engaged than learning every day
and learning how to use what you've learned. Hillsdale College
has twenty five different series available online on demand il

(01:46:49):
freebo and each one of them comes as a video
college level course that focuses on one subject or another.
From the newest course on the history of Country at
Large to the original course Constitution one on one. You
think you know about the Constitution, you ought to take
the online course Constitution one on one from Hillsdale College.

(01:47:12):
You will be surprised at how well produced and enjoyable
every one of these courses are professors teach them employing
great production value, and they're free. And it's at rush
for Hillsdale dot Com. That's the website now. The newest
course from Hillsdale Online called the Great American Story a
Land of Hope. This course shares the stories of individual

(01:47:34):
successes in the land of opportunity in America, tells a
great story. For years, Hillsdale has been producing online video
college level courses. They want to teach beyond campus. They
love teaching, they love having people learn what they do.
They want to They're proficient in teaching America the Constitution.
They want everybody. They believe if, if if there was

(01:47:58):
much better understand ending the Constitution, we wouldn't have half
the problems we have in this country. I agree with them,
every one of these courses is l freebo on demand.
You register online in seconds or no strength is attached.
You're able to browse to the list of courses and
choose the ones that you want. It's rush for Hillsdale

(01:48:19):
dot com as the website. The US Navy ship Mercy
New York Harbor to help the hospital overcrowding in New York.
There are one thousand beds on this ship. This is
the It's the comfort the Mercies. In a way, this

(01:48:42):
is the comfort it was supposed to help New York.
It has twenty patients. There are twenty patients on this
thousand bed hospital ship. How do you square this? There

(01:49:04):
have been all kinds of citizen videos showing quiet hospitals,
and Twitter is shutting them down and banning them, and
the drive by media is shaming the people who are
producing them. But things are not adding up here. The
Navy hospital ship in Los Angeles doesn't ever e many
patients either. New York hospital administrators say they're still slammed,

(01:49:25):
and they're blaming red Tape. Whose red tape? Navy hospital
ship supposed to aid a struggling New York floats largely
unused and idle. One thousand beds on the hospital ship.
It has twenty patients, so many things here just the

(01:49:52):
only way these things make sense is if you chalk
it all up to bureaucratic inefficiency and confusion, and maybe
maybe you need It's back in a second. It has
been so much fun being back this week. I really
grateful for the opportunity. And again a reminder. Will not

(01:50:15):
be here Monday, but we'll supposedly hopefully be back here
on Tuesday. Mark Stein will gracefully brave the elements and
take the risk. Well, not much. He's in his own
bunker up there somewhere. He'll be guest hosting on Monday.
Have a great weekend, folks, so you're back here on Tuesday.
