Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show podcast. Well,
I guess the big news now is that Fredo Cuomo
CNN has tested positive for coronavirus and will be quarantining
in his basement. His brother, the Governor of New York,
Andrew Cuomo, has just revealed the details of all of this,

(00:22):
continuing to speak about it and almost a it was
almost a life review here of Chris cuomoh I became
a lawyer and a journalist, and how the dad was
a very nomineering personality and told Fredo that he had
better become a lawyer. It's kind of it was. It was,
it was no, I don't want to characterize it, but
it was. It was. It was stranger. Somebody's still alive. Greetings,

(00:45):
A welcome Rush Limbaugh the EIB Network at eight hundred
two eighty two two eight eighty two, the email address
l rushmo at dot us if you want to communicate
that way, and once again, great to be back with you.
I have an overriding m sense of foreboding here for you.

(01:07):
I'm I'm I'm really in a dilemma as to how
much of what I really think do I share with you?
Some of it. I can't. I'd be run out of
this studio on a rail if I were to tell
you some of what I think. And I'm talking about
terms of what needs to be done, not the circumstance

(01:29):
that we're in, but the solution, because the overriding sense
of foreboding I have is that this cannot go on.
This just can't go Oh, we cannot go on like
this for months. We are going to destroy the country
or the economy, however you want to look at it, whatever.

(01:52):
You know, the favorite word of millennials is sustainable. Well,
this isn't sustainable. And we as a society down the
road are going to be faced with some really really
serious questions that we cannot avoid. The longer we go,

(02:16):
the more unavoidable answering some of these questions. And I
don't mean to be speaking cryptically. I'm doing something that's
a somewhat uncharacteristic for me. I'm speaking safely here. I
may I'm trying to dance around this, but but this
just can't go on like this. You know, somebody called

(02:39):
me yesterday, Rush, what do you think that the recovery
will look like? And I kind of blew The answer
was getting my feet wet. Yesterday, I've been gone. I've
been gone for how many How many shows did I miss?
In a row? I was in such a fog. I
don't even know is it five or six? It was

(03:00):
ten shows? I and my absence was not a vacation.
I mean I was not staying informed as I was
away because I wasn't incapable of it. So getting back
yesterday was getting the voice back up to up to shape,
in shape, it in gear, and uh getting my my
brain back up to speed and engaged. And so I

(03:23):
kind of blew the answer that I said, what what
what's the econd? I said, what's going to roar back?
And I said, wait a minute, that's that's not true,
because it's going to take what to roar back? It's
going to take money. It's gonna it's gonna require people
having money to roar it back. And the longer this goes,
the less people, the fewer people are going to have

(03:46):
any money to uh ignite the economy. Now there will
be stimulus impact. The government will take no doubt about that.
I mean, there will be a recovery. Don't don't misunderstand,
But you know, I wanted to know, is it going
to be massive all at once, And I said, no,
it won't be that. It's gonna it'll it'll be phased

(04:07):
stage simply because even if that magical day comes where
where somebody says, and who is it going to be,
who is going to say, okay, folks go back to work, Well,
the president might or might it be doctor Faucci. But
whoever says it, are people going to go all right

(04:27):
and leave? Are they gonna still be a little trepidacious
because all of this, all of this is based on
one thing that we don't have. We don't have a
vaccine for this. We don't have a vaccine. So and
until we get a vaccine, Like I just I just

(04:50):
was listening to governor Governor Cuomo here and he said
that he was giving his his his daily briefing to
the people of New York and he said that the
when we finally get a test, when we get a
widespread quick test to determine who's got coronavirus who doesn't,

(05:12):
that will determine when people go back to work. Well
that would be great, but I don't know if that's true. Okay,
so you test negative, but there's no vaccine out dater
what happens if everybody heads back out and a vaccine

(05:36):
is not Folks of vaccine is not on the horizon
for at least a year. Are doing clinical trials on drugs,
you know, the clark one and zithromyasin is the most
promising thing. If there, if there, if there is developed
a a medicine that can do with this, then that

(06:00):
would change things dramatically and hold the line until there
is a until there is a vaccine. But a vaccine,
that's what separates the coronavirus from the flu. We've got
vaccines for it. We know the mutations. We're not up
to speed on the coronavirus in that way. So you
have the medical reality, I mean you have the economic reality.

(06:23):
This can't go on. I mean, how many people want
to see the United States economy destroyed? I doubt very many.
But then what is going to be required to prevent
that from happening? People going back to work, it's going
to be things reopening without a vaccine. What's that exposed

(06:44):
people to serious, serious questions? All I know is that
what's happening now cannot go on. This business of shutting
down until the end of June or the end of July,
and in putting people in jail if they leave their homes,
which what Governor Maryland said, that's that's not sustainable, that

(07:07):
that's not we can't well, don't you know you come,
misters nerdly here when a little profit. No, I'm saying
that the Chicoms are back to work. Don't believe a
damn thing coming out of there. They've already reopened the
wet markets. They're selling bats. They're selling live bats for
food at the Chinese at the Wuhand wet market. I

(07:28):
am not. They say that their number of cases is declining,
and of course the Chinese economy is getting back, but
the Chinese government is so different. We don't know what
they did to make this possible. How many people did
they drag out of their homes in Wuhan and just
murder and then barry inconcrete plots to get rid of

(07:50):
this virus. They don't have a vaccine either. The Chicoms
don't have a vaccine. If they do, they're not sharing
it with anybody. We're not going to do that. We're
not going to drag people out of hospitals or out
of their homes and and take them and put them
in what are quality education camps or whatever. The Chinese
will look they this is a communist government. They have

(08:13):
an entirely different view of the value of life, quality
of life and all that. And if if, if they,
if they detect any single person being a culprit here,
that person is in deep, deep trouble if the state
finds out about them. But yeah, I don't know. You
can't trust anything coming out of Chinese. Said, It'd be

(08:35):
great if it were true. It'd be great if you
could look at the Chinese models that Okay, they're back
to work, their number of cases is falling, their economy
is getting back up to running. And it was it
took three months. So using that as a guideline, But
we don't. We don't see the same pattern happening here. However, however,

(08:56):
there is this story. This is interestingly enough, this is
from CNN, But what is the actual source of the headline?
Coronavirus death rate is lower than previously reported, study says,
but it's still deadlier than seasonal fluid. Now, this is
a study from a good old Imperial College, again in London,

(09:20):
which gave us this original model that two point two
million Americans could die if we did nothing. Five hundred
thousand a UK dife we did nothing. Of course, we're
not doing nothing. We're mitigating all over the place, social distancing, quarantining,
sheltering in place, and all of this stuff. But this

(09:41):
study from the Imperial College in London, and it was
published in a highly respected medical journal called Lancet, and
it says that fewer people die from coronavirus than previously thought.

(10:02):
In fact, this report from Imperial College in London says
that zero point six six percent of infected people die.
Now that's more than from the regular flu. The regular
flu mortality rate is zero point one percent. But this
is far lower than the four percent that we were

(10:24):
told for months. And it's lower than the one percent.
Remember when doctor Fauci, this is the kind of stuff
I must say, it irritates me. Doctor Faucci came out
and reported that the mortality rate for coronavibus is much
lower than we thought. This is two or three weeks ago,
but he said it's still ten times deadlier than the flu. Well,

(10:48):
guess what the headline was. The story was that coronavirus
is much less deadly than we were originally told that.
Then doctor Faucci said, but it's still ten times deadlier
than flu. The reason for that is the flu mortality
rate is zero point one percent. Coronavirus rate at the
time was thought to be one percent or ten times

(11:11):
point one percent of the flu. Now the Lancet is
saying that zero point six six percent of infected people die.
So the number of deaths from coronavirus continues to be
reported as declining. Study says the lower number is due
to taking account of the number of people who have

(11:33):
milder cases of the coronavirus. And in fact, Governor Quroma
today made a big deal about the big number of
discharges from New York hospitals, people that no longer need treatment.
And that's one aspect of this that's really not been
reported since day one, since that whole John Hopkins website
was first developed and first published, the number of recoveries

(11:56):
has never been a singular to report it here. And
then there is the undeniable fact that there are forces
in the American culture who want you to continue to
think the worst of this, and they want you to
blame President Trump for it. They want you to think

(12:17):
it isn't getting better, that it won't get better because
of Donald Trump? And now that my pillow. Guy, Man,
what a teachable moment that was yesterday as well, which
we'll get to all of this as a program unfolds
before your very eyes and ears today. So the researchers
estimate that the overall death rate of coronavirus to be

(12:39):
about two thirds of one percent, but that number goes
up in older adults. Seven point eight percent of those
eighty or older are estimated to die after getting the infection,
but the deaths were estimated to be exceedingly rare in
children younger than nine. The fatality rate there is infinitesable.

(13:02):
Said go figure. All I know is this is not sustainable.
And now they're talking about giving everybody masks, and the
surgeons are there. I don't think we need to give
everybody's masks. You put masks on everybody, you're just going
to create a psychological down to you this this is
not sustainable. I also want to share with you something

(13:24):
I Governor Cuomo here we gave every pretty rousing, attempted
to be motivating address here to the people of New York,
and he put up a slide that said, we know

(13:45):
what we have to do, we just have to do it.
And here are the four things that we have to do.
According to Governor Cuomo, we have to have individual discipline,
we need government skill and performance, we need social stamina,
and we need national unity. For what to sustain this

(14:10):
The discipline to watch the economy peter out, the discipline
to watch a government skill and performance try to manage
the decline once again of the US economy. Social stamina
and I know what that means, social distancing and staying
inside and having the discipline to do so. And national unity,

(14:35):
well that'd be great, but we've got people that working
on trying to prevent national unity where this is where
this is concerned. So that's the overriding foreboding thought that
I have. And I you know who knows. Folks, listen,
the whole program depends where my mouth goes. The remainder

(14:57):
of the program. I might divulge even more of what
I'm thinking here. You might be able to figure it out.
I was also given a challenge by the staff yesterday
to watch this Netflix show that appears to have captivated
the nation called Tiger King, and I was told that
it is uh once you tune in, you can't turn

(15:18):
it off. That it is the most whatever negative thing
you've ever conjured, and it never ends. It's just it's despicable,
it's sick, it's um, it's it's what have you? So
I tuned in, I will watch this thing. And I

(15:41):
remember I tried to. There's there's something on Netflix that's
far better than this, And I told you people about it,
and you acted like you didn't know what I was
talking about. And it's called Making a Murderer and it's
a real life thing about a guy in manner to Walk, Wisconsin,
Stephen Avery. It's it's a Netflix. And if you if

(16:01):
you want to get scared, if you want to, if
you want to watch something, Oh my god, are these
people actually voting watch Making a Murderer? Now. I don't
deny that Tiger King is. I could easily turn that
thing off. I was unlike, I was not compelled to
keep watching this thing, and not because it was sick

(16:22):
and not because it was depraved. Once I got in
my phillisy in the Big Cats, that was it for me.
All I cared about was seeing the Big Cants. You know.
The most fun I had was this guy gets his
AK forty seven starts lightening up a pond or something
with it. I started laughing. When when when when that
happened to each his own? I didn't finish the first episode.

(16:46):
There's probably ten minutes left of the the first Yeah,
that's what I haven't seen the best parts of seven episodes,
and they supposed get worse. So when the last thing
I saw was that Joe Exotic himself is in a cage.
Now he's behind bars, in jail for murder, for higher
plot against that whackle babe and Tampa who whose husband

(17:08):
is missing? I get, don't go to I'm trying to
find a slate button here, all right, See here we go,
Governor Cuomo. Sometimes you need an emergency to force change.
What change? Sometimes you need So now we're looking at
this as a positive. Now some people are looking at

(17:28):
this as a positive. Grab audio sobot number twenty two.
Here's Governor Cuomo assuring the media that cases are still
going up. We're studying the charts. We're trying to study
the data. Follow the data. The data is uneven. It bounces.
Numbers often bounce in any model. There are variables in

(17:51):
this model. You see the basic line is still up.
The statisticians will tell you as you basically draw the
straight line that the columns indicate, and you see that
was still going up, which is what we see on
the overall's rejectory, that was still going uptor Cuomo has
reassured the media and we're still going up. We're still

(18:13):
get any increasing number of cases, which is good for
the Get Trump movement. And now it's good because sometimes
you need an emergency to force change. It's kind of
like Ram and Manuel. You don't want to let a
good crisis go to waste. And Barack, who's saying oh,
has tweeted. Obama has weighed in quote, we've seen all

(18:37):
two terribly, the consequences of those who denied warnings of
a pandemic. Who the hell is he talking about? Pelosi,
the Democrats in New York City. He said, we can't
afford any more consequences of claimate denial. So now they're
linking claimate change to this virus, to this pandemic which

(18:57):
started in China. And that's just the first two lines
in a tweet. There's more to it. I'm out of
time for now. Back into second I want to run
a number by you, and I want to ask you
if this number surprises you. And I'm going to finish
Obama's tweet that we'll get to the phones. If you're
on hold, hangm er coming to you now. Of course,

(19:18):
we here at the EiV Southern Command are in South Florida,
where in Palm Beach County, which geographically is a large county,
and so you would think, you look at the case
data here for Palm Beach, a number of cases coronavirus,
the number of deaths. But one of the things that

(19:40):
interests me is the hospitalization numbers, because if you look
at drudge, if you look at the drive by media,
you would believe there's not a single hospital bed in
this country, right. You have been led to believe it
every hospital is overflowing, that dead bodies are in body
bags and refrigerated trucks that are being parked off the
landfills or whatever. I mean. Some of the most incredible

(20:01):
reporting I have seen. And it is in New York,
it is in Washington's, the DC, Maryland, the Eastern seaboard
states that there's not a hospital bet around, that the
hospitals are overflowing. If you have to go to the
hospital you may as well just pack it in and die.
So I wanted to find out what the hospitalization rates.

(20:22):
We're here in Palm Beach County because we've been shut
down like everybody else has. We've been shut down to
the middle of April. We got shelter in place, and
you better not be caught on the beach. The turtles
can go to the beach, a we can't. You better
not get caught on the beach. You better not be
caught within ten feet of anybody else, or they'll write

(20:44):
you up on a town website. Anyway, here's the case
data for Palm Beach County. Total cases in Palm Beach
County if coronavirus five hundred and fourteen. Of the five
hundred fourteen cases, four hundred and eighty eight are residents

(21:06):
of Palm Beach County, twenty four are non residents. The
age range dinner to ninety nine, men two hundred and
sixty eight cases women two hundred and thirty seven, so
it's fairly equal. There've been eleven deaths in Palm Beach
County since this all began to be tabulated. Now. I

(21:28):
don't have data for other states that will come at
some point. I've got a website here where this is
Florida's COVID nineteen data surveillance dashboard, and it's it's the
latest official numbers from the Florida Department of Health. So
and a numbers on a radio tough to followble let
me go again. Total cases in Palm Beach County five
hundred and fourteen, total deaths, eleven hospitalizations. The number of

(21:58):
people who are hospital with coronavirus fifty seven doesn't strike
you as a large number. I want you to think
of the way this is being reported, particularly about New
York and other places where there's not a hospital bed

(22:20):
to be had, where they're putting people in the hallways,
there's no ventilators, there's no nothing. We haven't got away.
It is in bad shape out there. Five hundred fourteen
K fifty seven hospitalizations. That sounds like a small number
to me. Why aren't the hospitalization numbers being reported to us?

(22:45):
I mean, if you go to New York, get Field
hospitals being built in Central Park. We got the Mercy
ship that floated in there. They're clearly trying to create
the impression we don't have any hospitals. We are so
overflowing with cases that we don't have any house none.
It may be true in New York, but again, fifty

(23:08):
seven hospitalizations in Florida. In the words, if you are
in Palm Beach County and you happen to come down
with this, there's going to be room in hospitals. I'm
not urging people to go there. Don't misunderstand. I just
so much of what happens during crises like this, so
much of this has been politicized, folks, that it's just

(23:30):
impossible anymore to actually find factual truth. Here's the rest
of Obamas to make in fact to read, just read
the whole thing to you again. New tweet Baracco's saying, oh,
equating the Chinese virus with climate change, and Donald Trump's
pulling out of the Paris Accords. Essentially, we've seen all

(23:50):
two terribly the consequences of those who denied the warnings
of a pandemic. Who denied the warnings of a pandemic.
Trump didn't deny the warnings of pandemic. The Democrats did. Pelosi.
There are pictures of Pelosi in Chinatown in San Francisco
urging people to come out. There are pictures, video stories

(24:11):
New York City politicians urging people to go to their
parades in January and February, saying there's no threat from
the virus, who denied warnings of a pandemic. He said,
we can't afford any more consequences of climate denial. All

(24:32):
of us, especially young people, have to demand better of
our government at every level, and we have to vote
this fall. Trump rolls back the biggest US effort to
combat climate change. Trump administration and Tuesday released a set
of weaker fuel economy standards for new cars and trucks,
pitting the federal governing against California on a policy key

(24:53):
to combating client In all of this, Obama's worried about
climate change, which is something that we can't control no
matter what we do. We didn't cause it, and we
cannot stop it. It's the weather people that tell you
it Isn't the weather are lying to you because they
tell us that increased hurricanes or climate change. Did we

(25:13):
create hurricanes? Can we start one when we want it?
Can't we change the direction of one when it happens?
Can we change the strength? No, we can't change a
squall line of thunderstorms. We can't make it cooler when
it's sweltering wet. We can't warm it up when it's freezing.
We are we don't have this kind of power. And
here come these guys now claiming that we are destroying

(25:34):
the United States, specifically destroying the climate, and now it's
created this virus. It's irresponsible. Climate change is somehow a
more pressing issue. Then what is destroying the US economy?

(25:54):
What is being permitted to destroy the US economy? Do
you realize we are letting this happen. I got to
dial it back, but we are letting this destruction of
the US economy happen. Okay, through the phones, we're gonna

(26:15):
start with Chelsea. Chelsea and Cincinnati. I'm glad you called.
It's great to have you on the program. Hello, Hi Rus,
it's been It's an honor just to hear your voice.
I've been listening to you since I was a little girl.
Thank you, thank you very much. I'm concerned about what
our country is going to look like when this is over.
Specifically here in Ohio, we have a governor who's been
manipulating our state constitution. Um, he's a pardoning I'm sorry, ye,

(26:40):
he unlawfully under lunch primary, and then he closed down
businesses and canceled school, all while manipulating our constitution and
saying that it was for the public health. There how
many people to be fine with it, But my problem
with it is it's all been done illegally and this
sets its terrible precedent. So how do we return to

(27:03):
the rule of law and keep our leaders from any
party constitution? Chelsea, these are all valid concerns. And I
you know, I hearkened back to my brief appearance via
phone call myself. I now know what it is to
be a caller, by the way, on this program. I
called into my own show last Friday. It's the only
way I could. I could do it, and I addressed,

(27:26):
you know, the massive changes that that when this is over,
what is this country going to look like? One of
the American people going to accept? And the governor of
the Mayor of New York literally said that if people
went to churches of synagogues, he was going to shut
them down forever. Now that's the first amendment. He can't

(27:47):
do that. Yeah, I've got it in the stack. You
missed that. You're probably watching Tiger King. By the way,
I am. I am the arrest to the pastor for
holy I know, I know, they're all of this stuff,
and people are accepting it. Not everybody, but people are
accepting it on the basis of the health things that

(28:08):
we have been told we have to do. Yeah, what
this country is going to be like when this is over?
You know, how long is it going to take to
return to what we considered normal. If you go back
to the Civil War, and not a whole lot of
people know that Abraham Lincoln arrested and put in Jaila,
Chief Justice of the United States, suspended habeas corpus. But

(28:31):
we came out of it. We came out of it
with a constitution intact. We came out of it with
our freedoms intact. Because the Civil War ended with the
right correct side victorious. If you go to the nineteen
eighteen Spanish flu, the government didn't do diddly squad about it.

(28:52):
Woodrow Wilson was the president and he was totally focused
on defeating Germany in World War One. We didn't do
diddly squad. We didn't shut down anything, We didn't do
anything to protect people. We just let whatever number of
people get the disease get the disease. And they died.
And that's how we dealt with it. If you got it,
you got it. If you didn't, you didn't. But we
didn't shut down the economy. We didn't change we didn't

(29:13):
stop people from going about their business. We didn't make
people wear masks any of that stuff. Correspect then the
masks were not as prevalent nineteen eighteen, long time ago.
In World War Two, we suspended a lot of freedoms.
We instituted federal withholding to make sure government got its
money to fund the war effort. You know, that's when

(29:34):
withholding started. As World War Yeah, you didn't know that
withholding of taxes began and and and and government run
healthcare got its all start World War two, centralize everything
to make more efficient the war effort. And some of
the things were instituted survived to this day, like federal
withholding and number of other things healthcare related. So these

(29:56):
are valid, valid questions. And arbitrarily delay like the Democrat
primary is considered to be over with because they have
canceled all the primaries where crazy Bernie might have a
chance to regain. But crazy Bernie doesn't care if they've
bought him a plane and did something. He's gone docile.
Biden is now where to be seen. He's going to

(30:17):
be the nominee. He can't win it until June second,
and that that's when he'll be proclaimed the nominee. But
it's fixed, it's all rigged. And now they're salivating over
finding a way to get Cuomo to run. And that's
things are in a huge, huge state of flux. And

(30:37):
the longer the American people are sequestered behind closed doors
and not participating in anything, the more change there is
going to be. I'm getting dangerously close to getting in
trouble here, so I am going to go to a
profit center. Time I get back, all right, get back
to the phones who are just secondar Governor Cuomo. Here's

(30:59):
what he's talking when he said that sometimes you need
an emergency to force change. He's talking about ending the
private hospital system. Here's the audio seld by a conversation
I had with these hospital leaders yesterday in that room.
If it was not for the coronavirus, I would have
never made it out of that room. I mean, what
I was saying was so antithetical to the foundation of

(31:22):
the business of healthcare in this state, which by the way,
is a multi multi billion dollar business. Really, it's right,
it was common sense, but sometimes you need the emergency
to force change. That would be very, very difficult. Otherwise
they want to get rid of the private hospital system

(31:44):
of New York, of the state. I guess take it over.
As we're going to use the coronavirus as an opportunity
to do this. Okay, Mary Joe, Western Illinois. As we
return to the phones greater, have you what it's in
the Eibing network today? Hi? Mary Joe Irish, thankfu Lord,

(32:04):
you talk about not being trusting what the chicoms tell us, right,
I'm not really sure that I believe with this government's
telling us. I think this is a major power grab
and they're over running President Trump on this whole thing.
In Illinois, we have one hundred and two counties. Fifty
two counties have the virus, so we got fifty counties

(32:26):
that don't. I'm one of them. And in Chicago, we've
had one hundred and one people killed in the first
three months of this year, and you have seventy three
deaths in the whole state of Illinois. I mean, it's
that's it's just wait, wait, wait, one hundred one people
killed you mean, not coronavirus, right, murders, shootings, you know

(32:47):
how it is in Chicago. Oh yeah, the neighborhood stuff
that goes on all the time, right, And we've had
seventy three deaths in the whole state and there, and
they're I don't know, it's just it's really getting scary
to me. Well, you know, one of the things that
I liked to before, before I was absent for a
couple of weeks. You go back to two thousand and
nine and twenty ten, the swine flew numbers in this

(33:10):
country are staggering, right, tell people to go to that
website and look it up. And we never heard a
word about it. No, we didn't. We didn't hear it.
We didn't shut down the government. We didn't do anything
to change people's behavior. We didn't make people stay at home.
We didn't do anything. Do you think I don't know,
I don't. I think sometimes Donald Trump is al was

(33:31):
too trusting that he trusts these people. I don't trust
them at all. That Fauci and what's her name? And yeah,
I know, I know, I know what you mean. I
know what you mean. And I as the expert communicator
I'll bet you that I can voice exactly what you
fear is happening here because it has happened throughout the

(33:54):
Trump Here's here's what happened, some kind of crisis. Like
let's go back to the first six months. Trump tried
to work with the system to get Obamacare repealed and replaced.
The Republicans in the House thought that he actually was
guilty of colluding with China, so that he didn't help.
For the first six months, Trump tried to work within

(34:16):
the system and found out that the system was trying
to subvert him. Trump wanted unity, he thought there would
be He told me this, he wanted unity. Well, after
enough time went by, the Republicans and Ounce finally figured
out this whole Russia thing was a scan, it was
a hoax, and so they began working with him on things.
And you're you're believing that Trump should have known from

(34:36):
the get go that he was not being helped and
should have run rough shot over these people from the
get go. So now we come to this. You believe
that Trump ought to know that there are forces arrayed
against him rather than trying to help him in the
health community here, and you're worried that he'll figure it out,

(34:59):
but it's going to take a while. Because Donald Trump
likes people. He invests in people, He gives them a chance,
and it doesn't take long. Once he finds out that
they're not working to help him or subvert him, then
he does what you want him to do. And you're
fearing he's not there yet, You're fearing he's still relying
on people who are trying to undermine him. Yeah. I
think he's too trusting. I think he's not meat enough.

(35:21):
And it's not trusting, it's desirable. He wants this to work.
He wants the people that are in these positions to
be helping him. He wants everybody to work together to
fix this. He's going to give them the benefit of
the doubt. Yeah, he has. I think the thought that
everybody is for the good of the country, and that's
not true. We can see that everybody, Well that's a hope.

(35:45):
I think he knows that's not the case, simply by
the presence of CNN every day and the way they
broadcast in the snarkiness in the briefing. He knows. But
but he Trump believes he can overcome all of that.
He believes he has the power to persuade and overcome,
and up to now he's been able to. Look what

(36:08):
he did in the rebuilding the economy in three years.
The fear for me is, look how little time it
has taken to wipe it all out at any rate.
I know exactly, I know exactly how you feel out there.
Mary Joe. I'm glad you called. I gotta go. We'll
be back. We'll continue with more right after this. Also,
you know what is fascinating way don't you hear? The

(36:29):
coronavirus numbers in California. California should be ground zero with
all the travel from China for all the months preceding now,
you go to December and January, thousands and thousands and
thousands of people from China. California ought to have thousands
more cases than New York. Why don't they welcome back?

(36:52):
Fox Rushland bought the EIB network and it's now official
the number of deaths from the coronavirus the United States
is great than the reported number of deaths in China.
That is just mind boggling to me, but that's what
it's being reported. Three out of four Americans are under

(37:16):
orders to stay home. Seventy five percent of the country
under orders to stay home, and in some places they're
being threatened with jail if they leave home. This is
not sustainable. This cannot go on. Was certainly with no
end in sight. Now CNN is reporting that Trump will

(37:40):
formally unveil new distancing guidelines based on models. It's CNN,
so it could be BS. So we're just gonna wait
and see what actually happens with this models business. That
means that the well, that's that means that there's no

(38:03):
thinking involved here. That means we're just reacting to whatever
data is discharged in a computer model, based on whatever
data is put into it. Anyway, phone number if you
want to be on the program eight hundred two eight
two eight eight two. The email address l rushbo At
eibat dot us. I want to go back to the

(38:25):
archives because something has been knowing away at me. Why
isn't California teeming with cases of coronavirus? You look at
the homeless populations in San Francisco and Los Angeles alone,
where all kinds of sordid disease would be percolating out

(38:48):
here and effervesting. Then you have the amount of travel
from Asia, specifically from China into California cities. So I
went back. January tenth of this year, CNN travel three

(39:10):
billion journeys, world's biggest human migration begins in China. It's
a fascinating piece here. China is already bracing itself for
an annual homecoming of epic proportions, considered the largest human
migration on the planet. The forty day period when Chinese
people head home to celebrate the Lunar New Year's spring

(39:32):
festival with their families officially began in January tenth and
on February eighteenth. Some three billion trips are expected to
be made during the twenty twenty Chun Yun period, a
slight increase from last year's figures. These figures are staggering,

(39:52):
but fret not, SYNN reported because the Chin comes had
already planned ahead. Now I have see One of the
factors that I have not seen mentioned in any recent
attempts to explain the world widespread of this virus is
the Chinese New Year. It's the largest human migration on

(40:12):
the planet. People coming and going from China. It's a
forty day period the Chinese people from all over the
world head home to celebrate the Lunar New Year Spring festival,
and then they go back. It's January tenth of February eighteenth,
right at the height of the coronavirus epidemic in Wuhan. Now,

(40:36):
this article notes that some three billion trips are expected
to be made during this Chinese Lunar New Year period,
and the CNN Travel article doesn't even mention coronavirus once
and it existed. The coronavirus was a thing on January tenth.
Now we move forward ten days January twentieth, twenty twenty.

(41:00):
The Washington Post, of all places, headline China Virus Experts,
says it can be spread by human to human contact,
sparking concerns about the massive holiday travel under way. This
is one of the very few mentions that I could
find of any connection between the forty day Chinese Lunar

(41:23):
New Year and the coronavirus. Now, the article in the
Washington Post notes that the Chinese finally admitted that coronavirus
can transmit between humans more than a month after the
first case. Even so, the chi coms did nothing to

(41:43):
seal their internal or external borders, even though they were
being flooded with three billion travelers and never remember many
of those leave. These are people that return to China
from all over the world, including United States, for the
Lunar New Year holiday, and then after the ten day
forty day period whatever they return to wherever they arrived

(42:08):
to China from. And so the Washington Post story says,
experts says it can be spread by human to human conduct,
sparking concerns about the massive holiday travel underway. So I
have here in my formerly nicotine stained fingers apiece by
Victor Davis Hanson today at National Review Online, coronavirus the

(42:33):
California heard. Mister Hanson today is writing about the California
population is forty million. Do you know how many coronavirus
cases coronavirus cases there are reported in California deaths, I

(42:55):
should say, one hundred and fifty deaths out of forty
million people. With all of that travel from China that
was occurring, even independent of the Chinese New Year, there's
there's daily travel to and from China, business and pleasure

(43:17):
in and out of San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, Lax.
I mean, you name it, thousands and thousands a day
to and from China, one hundred and fifty deaths. That
is a percent per million death rate, less than half
of Germany's. So what explains how and how how is

(43:43):
it that California is not the epicenter. California, as many
models have been predicting, should be ground zero of infection,
and yet it appears not to be. The Governor California,
Gavin Newsom, has assured his state that over half the

(44:05):
population will soon be infected. That is, more than twenty
five million coronavirus cases are on the horizon, the governor says,
which at the virus's current fatality rate of one percent,
would mean that the state should anticipate between two hundred
and fifty thousand and five hundred thousand dead Californians in

(44:26):
the near future. Los Angelos Mayor Eric Garcetti predicted this
week Los Angeles would be short of all sorts of
medical supplies as the epidemic killed many hundreds. As is
the case in New York City. It has been well
over two months since the first certified coronavirus case in
the US, so one might expect to see early symptoms

(44:48):
of the apocalypse recently forecast by Governor Newsom. Yet a
number of California's top doctors, epidemiologists, statisticians, and biophysicists have
expressed some skepticism about the bleak models, predicting that California
is on the verge of a statewide or even national,

(45:08):
lethal pandemic of biblical purport one hundred and fifty deaths
so far with all these trips. Now, it may be
and I'm not a doctor, and I'm going to make
sure of that. I am just speaking as a layman here,

(45:34):
but it could well be that so many Californias have
been exposed to this virus. You know, five to five
thousand to seven thousand Chinese arrive at California airports every day.
You go back and count that up and add it
up from December January February. What if the people of
California have somehow been may immune to it because they've

(46:00):
been exposed to the virus and don't have it or
fond a way to fight it off. It doesn't. It's
it's a gigantic question. California ought to be the epicenter,
you ought to be ground zero of addiction, and it isn't.
Now the governor clearly says it's coming. Governor Knewsom and

(46:20):
the mayor of Los Angeles both say it's coming, so
it may be premature to be commenting on this, but
it's still the disparity here in the number of cases
and a number of deaths and the number of hospitalizations
of California versus say, New York and some states on

(46:41):
the East Coast is striking. Also, old Buddy, we had
a call in the previous hour from a woman in Cincinnati, very,
very worried that elections will never be the same because
they're arbitrarily being canceled, the lay and shutdown, and in

(47:02):
many cases they're arbitrarily being delayed shut down for the
benefit of a particular political party. Well, let's go to
the state of Virginia and Governor Rauf nor Them. Rauf
Northam has just issued a stay at home order for
everybody in the state of Virginia until June tenth. Nobody

(47:26):
can leave home in the state of Virginia under penalty
of whatever for Governor Northern until Wednesday, June tenth. Now,
why did Governor Northam in Virginia choose Wednesday, June tenth
as a date that people can find and leave. Well,

(47:49):
guess what the Republican primary in Virginia in June ninth.
Did you know that Missus Snugley the Republican primary in
Virginia in June the ninth in Governor Northam now said
people can't leave their homes until the next day June tenth.

(48:15):
Governor Northerm announced this yesterday, said he issued a statewide
stay at home order that takes effect immediately. So it
could well be the Governor Nordham is attempting to effect
turnout for the Republican primary. Of course Trump will be unopposed,
but he's trying to do something here that might suppress

(48:38):
what looks like Republican enthusiasm out there. So for you
in Virginia, you can leave home the day after the
Republican primary order by order of a Democrat Governor of Virginia,
Raft Nordam. I gotta get back to the Fonso Manalapan,

(49:00):
New Jersey. This is Robert. It's great to have you
on the program. Sir, Hello, hey Rush, how you how
you feeling? Um? You know I'm feeling normal for the
first time in about three weeks, and I mean normal
normal first time in three weeks. Thank you to hear
that this is the fifth time on your show, So
I feel very lucky. I don't know how they get
two of your shows from any time. But uh, what

(49:21):
I want to say, I'm more concerned because listen to
human racism survived this. We said the Live Wars epidemics
flues plays, We'll survive it. I'm more afraid of how
we're going to survive the people in this country. I mean,
we've got people lacking out in Abe this because they're
having parties in their houses. They're calling the cops on them.
How quickly people giving up their rights to move around

(49:43):
freely just because they're afraid to take the government's going
to keep them safe. I don't know if we're ever
going to come back to being the way we were.
I mean, what's gonna happen next year when it comes
back again, they're going to shutdown econmuny game and just
stay home again. It's just it's just it's insane. Yeah,
see here we go. Und I understand your concern people, Uh,
it's it's it has long been a bugaboo of my

(50:06):
frustration of mind of how just naturally trusting people are
in government. It's something that's bugged me. My whole life.
How people are just naturally trusting if so called experts
they don't even know. But it's just the way it is.
People just are. People want to believe the government's looking
out for him, the government's trying to help them. They

(50:26):
just they believe me. After thirty years of hosting this program,
it is a monumental feat. It's taken thirty years to
persuade a whole lot of people that certain elements running
government are not looking out for you, that they're actually
attempting to diminish you. But but you mentioned that in

(50:49):
Doctor Fauci. They see this, see how this Doctor Fauci said, Well,
it's going to resurface in the fall, but it won't
be the same because we're going to know a lot more.
It is going to be identically the same. Oh, one
of the things I meant to mention a previous caller.
We're now entering in most of the country, it's warming up,
and we have been told that the virus doesn't do

(51:10):
well as it warms up out there outside the body.
Outside the body, the virus doesn't survive well. So we're
getting into the feel like temperatures in the nineties down
here in South Florida. Finally, we've had a really rotten winter.
Folks that never got above seventy five down here all winter.
That's bad. I don't mean to be complaining about it,
but it's just the way it is at any rate.

(51:32):
So that supposedly should be good news. So doctor Fauci
says he was asked a question by somebody in the media,
is there going to be a rebirth of the virus
in the fall? Oh? No question there right, it will
come back in the fall. Really we know this, Yeah,
And then they said, well that's not good darts. Well no, no,

(51:52):
we're gonna know a lot more in the fall than
than we knew when this started at the beginning of
this year. Well, we're not going to have a vaccine.
Until we have a vaccine. All this is academic, is
it not. I mean, look at this, all of this
social distancing. They say it's working, and it probably is,

(52:19):
But are we prepared for eighteen months of this until
we get a vaccine? Are we prepared for twelve months
of this? Do we get a vaccine or a pharmaceutical
cocktail that defeats it until there's a vaccine, And we're
really hoping that Clark, when is it? And we're also

(52:45):
wondering if Clark, when is it? If anybody will actually
admit it. But so everybody quarantines or everybody's social distances,
and we flatten a curve to a good job, flatten
the curve, and then somebody says, well, hey, we flattened
the curve. Or on the other side of the hill
or on the downhill side, you go home. Now you
leave home, you go to work. But wait, there's no vaccine.

(53:09):
People leave home. Transmission starts all over again, and then
what does government up? Up? Up? We were released you
too soon got to go back home, social distancing and
so forth. No, I'm just saying we have some we
have some serious questions that we're going to have to
face an answer because this is not sustainable. This is it.

(53:35):
Just isn't taking this economy back to recession or Great
depression circumstances? Does anybody want that? So what's the question? Well,
the question isn't kind of asks itself, and I'm kind

(53:56):
of saved by the bell here. I gotta take a break,
don't go away back in a moment and away ladies.
And a friend of mine, a famous Charlie's Angels actress
sends me a note claiming she too could not get
past much of the first episode of Tiger King. So
I l Rushbo, I'm not alone and finding it uncompelling.

(54:19):
If you want to watch something really compelling, if you
think Tiger King is all that, watch making a Murderer
on Netflix. It has the added benefit of being true too,
And I think it's much better made, much better produced. Anyway,

(54:41):
here's some headlines on Fox, just to share with you.
Some headlines on Fox. Hospitals reach breaking points amid sturge
of coronavirus cases. Well not here in South Florida. Hospitals
are not near a breaking point. Next headline, and it's

(55:02):
a it's a quote attributable to doctor Keith Armitage. Rate
of new cases decreasing in New York. Similar trends being
reported in California and Washington. Wait what rate of new
cases decreasing in New York? Governor Cuomo just said today

(55:23):
that they're still going up. That you can chat the
graph and they're still going up. They're by comforting the
media that the news is still bad. But doctor Keith
Armitage rate of new cases decreasing in New York and
I fox West Virginia one death. What explains this? I'm

(55:46):
just asking questions any layman would ask, why the hell
is California not the epicenter here? Could it well be
with all of those travelers five thousand to seven thousand
a day coming in and out of California from China
from December on, could it be that Californians have already
faced down the virus and beat it by being exposed

(56:10):
to it and creating mutations and there could Could it be?
I'm just asking. I need to have some medical professional
tell me if this is indeed possible, because it doesn't
make sense that California is not ground zero for this.
And let's see another headline here on fox US death
toll from coronavirus eclipses China's official count. Gotta take another

(56:33):
break back in a minute, and we're back. Great to
have your rush, Limbaugh and the EIB network having more
fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
You might well, how can that be? Well? Because I'm
doing what I was born to do, and I love
being with you people each and every day. I love
the opportunity. I relish it. I was in misery these

(56:53):
last two weeks I was racked with guilt at not
being here, and so I'm I'm I'm glad to be
back here and just feeling normal for the first time
in a while, which is gonna be short lived. Plan
B will be implemented soon and then I'll start feeling
like crap again. But that's why why I mean not consistently,

(57:19):
and it isn't gonna be as bad as what this lay.
I mean, look at I had to undergo weeks of
of medical prep because they're gonna What they threw at
me was kick but stuff, clinical trial stuff, and it worked,
that's the irony. It worked, but it was I couldn't

(57:42):
do it. And what about reducing the NAD reducing the
dose that that's that's not that. There's a Plan bab.
We're gonna got Plan BE pretty soon. And uh hey, folks,
this is what it is. But I've got this respite
here where I'm literally feeling normal and feeling great, and
I'm great to be back here. It's a great opportunity

(58:05):
that I never ever take for granted being here. Well,
thank you, thank you very much. I appreciate that. Now
let me give me up back to the funds here,
Kabe San Andreas, California. Hi. Great to have you with us. Hello, Hi, Rush,
It's an honor to talk to you. I've been dreaming
about this day for so long because I was a
Rush child and I'm raising Rush children. Now. My mother

(58:28):
is probably listening to this and she's like, oh my god,
she got on. Well, congratulations, that's great to hear. And
I also want to say mega prayers to you. Our
thoughts and prayers are with you all the time, and
we pray for a full recovery. Thank you, Thank you
very much. You're welcome. I was told I don't need
to get to the point. I live in a small
community in California. I wanted to talk about and share

(58:49):
with you how this is affecting us. I'm homeschooling my
children now. I have three children, eight, five, and two,
and this has rocked our world. We are healthy, thank God,
but it's roster world. And the fact that I don't
know how to teach my daughter common cores. I don't
know how to teach the reading strategies that are expected

(59:10):
so that she's going to pass the state test. I
don't know how to teach reading to my five year
old with the expectations that they're teaching. I'm concerned for
their future education. My husband and I have the conversation daily,
do we hold them back? What do we do? They
are missing a third of the school year, and like

(59:30):
you were pointing out before, why the numbers aren't there.
I'm having such a hard time wrapping my head around this.
We're changing everyone's daily life for such a small California.
The California situation now one thing I need to be
as accurate as I cam here and the New York

(59:54):
metropolitan area is home to the largest and most prominent
Chinese population outside of Asia, the Chinese, but that still
doesn't mitigate the fact that five to seven thousand Chinese
per day flying into and out of California every day
for who knows how long, and the numbers of people

(01:00:16):
infected and the death toll in California is so far
below what common sense would tell you it should be,
and there has to be a reason for it. As
a layman, I don't know what it is. I can't
wrap my head around it. We've been locked down. They
canceled school the week of Saint Patrick's Day, so the
sixteenth of March they canceled school, the kids, we're supposed

(01:00:37):
to be on spring break for two weeks. That Thursday,
after Saint Patrick's Day, So the nineteenth, I guess our governor,
who is a genius, put us all on lockdown, and
you know, we've been sheltered in place. My husband has
an essential job, so thank god he's still working and
he's still getting paid. And but I mean, you're just

(01:01:02):
changing everyone's day of life, and I'm I just have
a hard time. I'm just having such a hard time.
Lest well, what let's let me get back your home
schooling question. Are you? Are you maybe I'm misinterpreting. You
don't want to do it? You would rather they be
exposed to common core? No, I'd rather than not see.
I guess I'm torn on that one. Is I think
the social aspect of my kids going to school, they

(01:01:24):
missed that daily. But then for me to make sure
that I'm still teaching them so they're not going to
be behind next year, I feel like I have to
expose them a little bit to common chord. Does that
make sense? Okay, Yeah, I get what you mean. Yeah,
I'm just I want nine years ago. Let me. I

(01:01:44):
actually actually was thinking about this over the weekend. As
I was I was plotting my return to the EIB studios,
and I was just recording random thoughts as I had
them so that I wouldn't forget them. And one of
the excuse me. One of the random thoughts I had,
I heard somebody I don't remember, who doesn't matter, complaining

(01:02:07):
about having their kids at home with them all day
and what the hell ever gonna do? And kids don't
do well at home. They got to get out, but
they can't get out of people are going crazy. So
I thought, you know, I happen to like home. I've
built my life around being home. I got everything I
need at home. I've set it up that way. I
don't have to leave home for anything. I love being home.

(01:02:27):
I've I've always dreamed of having a home, just it's
one of my quirks. So how can I be helpful
and transfer this attitude to other people? Because right now
people don't have any choice. We're being ordered to stay
home under penalty of this or that. So what what
can you tell your kids, well educating them is you

(01:02:50):
have such a golden opportunity here. You have no choice.
They are at home. They're prisoners, your prisoners. You have
a golden opportunity to correct whatever kind of dribble they
have been taught, and you don't have it. You're not
under time pressure. You don't have to do eight hours
of school a day. You can devise your own method
for doing this. You can instill in them the concept

(01:03:15):
of nationalism and patriotism and tell them exactly why they
have to stay home. You know, they're not too young
to learn. How old are your kids? They are eight,
five and two, And that's what I've done eight day.
The eight year old is not too young to learn
some of these things. Oh absolutely not. Like we start
our day with the pledge, we do the star spanild banner.

(01:03:36):
And my eight year old, I don't know what she
was being taught in school, but she just was under
the assumption everything was free, and I was like, no,
nothing is free. That is no, everything costs money. We're
going to go back to capitalism one O one here right, Well, exactly.
But in the meantime, there are some other lessons that
they're learning and among them, and this is a I

(01:04:00):
wish I had had more of it my whole life,
particularly when I was younger. And that's discipline. You have
an opportunity to teach discipline that you don't even have
to be mean about it because there is no alternative.
They have to learn to deal with these restrictions. They
have to learn to come up with ways to keep

(01:04:22):
themselves quote, entertained, busy, whatever, to pass the time, because
that's the key, and you can find ways for it
to be productive. Discipline, I think is one of the
gravest lessons that could be taught during this And also
there is this concept, and a lot of people disagree,

(01:04:44):
but there is the concept of denial. They can't go out,
they can't do this, they can't do that. You have
to tell them why we're in a war. We have
been attacked by an invisible enemy that doesn't care who
it attacks and can kill a lot of people. It's
your job to keep them safe and you love them,
and that's why this is all happening. And there's certain

(01:05:05):
things that right now they just can't do and just
can't have. It's a combination of discipline and denial. You
can't always go where you want, you can't always go
where you want when you want, and you have to
learn to use your time at home to learn things
to become a better person, become more educated, more informed.
There are opportunities in all this. I believe that there's

(01:05:28):
good in everything that happens. It may be hard to
find it, it may be invisible, but it will reveal itself.
I completely agree, and I you know, I had my
mental emotional breakdown Sunday when this is going to go
on for thirty more days. But then I was like,
I need to look at it as a half full glass,
that I have the opportunity to spend more time with

(01:05:48):
my children, to influence them in the way that I
want them to be influenced, to teach them how great
of a country we do live in, and the founding
Fathers and all that stuff. That they're not being hot
and school like, there is a huge there you go,
there you go. Now, I'm doing a lot of this stuff.

(01:06:08):
I imagine if some of you sounds very Pollyannish out there,
and to some of you it may sound very naive
and unrealistic, but it is, you know, it is what
it is to use the cliche, and there there are
opportunities here and that are presenting themselves and they're and

(01:06:30):
they're not They're not incidental and insignificant and they're not
they're not cliched. But the other thing, Katie, this can't
go on. I'm going to keep saying this until it permeates.
This week this you say, thirty more days, and then
you know what they're gonna do. They're not going to

(01:06:51):
do it in thirty day animals. They're going to tell
us they are The SEQUESTERA will continue for another two weeks.
Everybody will say all two weeks had a lot, and
then the next two weeks, two weeks again, and then
another two weeks, another two weeks because every psychologically it
is thought that will accept that it might be over
in two more weeks. Every two weeks. But this, this

(01:07:21):
can't go on interminably. It just it just can't. I'm
glad that you called, Katie, and I appreciate the time.
I'm going to be a little selfish. I have a
teaching aid for you. That would be the Rush Revere series,
five books that are written for the kids a little

(01:07:43):
older than you're. You're eight year old, but she can
do it. And then the other two that you have
will will be qualified before long. The Rush Revere series
on the Founding of America that's written truthfully for kids,
in your age group incoming. I'm glad you called. It's

(01:08:04):
great to talk to you. Got to take a quick
time out. We'll be back and continue after this. By
the way, we are preparing an entry page at rush
limbaud dot com, the Rush Revere page, because we have
some Rush Revere copies that we are going to be
donating to families once we have an entry page set up.
So it's not ready to go yet. We're working on

(01:08:27):
this and as soon as we get it set up,
i'll let you know. Here is Tom in Chicago. Great
to have you on the eib networks are Hello, Thank
you Rush. I have to take umbrage with you calling
this a Chinese virus. It is a communist virus. Understand
that communism is all about moving wealth out of private

(01:08:48):
hands into public control, and that social progress is advanced
so far in China to these poor people don't have
enough wealth to get the basic subsistence of life. Got
to go out and thence new food sources are eating
fats for God's sakes, And that virus is now bringing
the same social progress to America. It's descending on us

(01:09:11):
faster than the headlines can keep up with it. And
I'm not mad at the American Left. They've been out
there for decades clear about what their mission is. I'm
mad about our side for not recognizing this communist revolution
taking place from the highest offices of government, media, and education.

(01:09:33):
If we're not willing to admit the enemy among us,
if we're not willing to prosecute treason where treason is found,
then we should stop complaining about it. Just accept it. Okay, Well,
I'll let that stand. As I know. I'm being inundated
with people who have that that point of view, that

(01:09:54):
it's not the Teckon virus, it's the communist virus, every
being overtaken a Chinese Communistan. You're the only person I
know who thinks it's happening without the cooperation Democrat Party. However,
most people tell me they think the American Left is
the worldwide communist party now, and that they are willingly
subverting this economy and destroying it for the purposes of

(01:10:17):
eliminating and wiping out capitalism. And whether that's happening or not,
whether that's the design or not, that is happening. This
economy is being shut down. That's what this is not sustainable.
I'm sorry I'm not a broken record on this, but

(01:10:37):
it is not sustainable. We are we just going to
sit by and watch twenty two trillion dollars that's the value,
that's a sum total of the GDP, that's the US economy,
just to sit by here and watch it evaporate, because
that's what we're doing under the guys of not losing

(01:11:03):
any unnecessary life, meaning we want to try to save
as many lives as we can at any rate. I
appreciate it. Called Joey in Austin, Texas. Welcome sir. Great
to have you on the EIB network. Hello, Mega prayers Rush.
Nice to hear your voice. Thank you, sir. I kind
of want to shift gears to something. I don't know
if this could be a positive. I don't know if

(01:11:25):
it's even a reality, but I've sort of watched the
president's interactions with the experts, the medical experts, and what
is traditionally parts of the I don't know you'd call
the medical expert or even the educational expert group usually
belongs to the political left, and you know, he treats

(01:11:45):
them as experts. He doesn't answer their questions. He brings
them up to the microphone to ask their questions, and
as you were talking about, you know, modeling and all
these different things. I just have noticed how the left,
the Democrats, have been treating these experts that are traditionally
in their um, you know, under their tent and wondering

(01:12:08):
if something similar is happening here as has kind of
happened with the African American vote, if there's an unintended
consequence as they continue to falsely report the statistics, falsely
play around with these people who are professionals as they
start to, you know, think about migrating away from the
Democrat party. Um, you may have to help me interpret

(01:12:34):
what I'm trying to stay here's the radio professional. Well yeah,
let me let me I'm not sure I get it.
Are you suggesting that the Democrats are worried about the
defection of African American votes to Trump? And so the
what what I'm saying that I've saying that happened, which
which experts might turn on the Democrat Well, let's just

(01:12:56):
think of generally. Do you think doctor Fout she is
going to turn on the Democrats? Is that what you're
asking me? No, I just I've noticed, like as I've
watched the pressors and different things. He's had to call
out reporters, He's had to call out people on the
left for misquoting him, for miss for misrepresentation, don't saying,

(01:13:17):
don't be fooled, don't be don't, don't be fooled by that. Okay,
the original number two point two millions out there, isn't it?
Despite doctor Fauci correct, It's still out there, isn't it?
The President's even using it. No. Look, I will address this.
I want. I'm out of time here. I'm not being rude,
but I have to say goodbye because we just simply

(01:13:39):
it's a hard break, as they say, and the bills
got to be back here just second, don't go away
from Okay, we have a roster of audio sound bites
that I want to get to in the monologue segment
of the next hour, and we will also be continuing
to include your phone calls. We're adding to the phone
calls because frankly, there's really an one topic out there.

(01:14:01):
Your phone calls allow me more to react to as
you have your various observations and questions. So that will
continue one eight hundred to eight two to eight eight two.
We we'll be right back greetings and welcome back. It's
l Rushbow Rush Limbaugh, the excellence in broadcasting that work
half my brain tied behind my back, just to make

(01:14:23):
it fair even in circumstances like this. The telephone number
if you want to be on the program is eight
hundred and two eight two to eight eight two in
the email address L Rushbow at eib net dot us.
Listen in the middle of ABTA download here and I
may be working. I we'll see anyway. I have analyzed

(01:14:45):
what the last caller hit. Well, it's a new Apple
Beata Day thirteen point four point five Beta one today.
Well the world partially for me back to normal. You see, Yes,
I look at I'm sorry. I have the optimist gene.
I can't do anything about it. I look for reasons
to be optimistic. I look for reasons to be happy.

(01:15:08):
I look for reasons to be enjoying things. Can I
give an example? I get an example. When I was
being medically prepared to undergo the first round of cancer
treatment in a clinical trial. I had to undergo medical
what is it, I'm missing a word, not investigations, preparations.

(01:15:29):
I had exams because what this literal poison that they
were going to throw at me, and they had to
make sure that I could withstand. It turned out that
for six weeks, five weeks I could, and then the
side effects just hit me like I mean, I felt
like I'd been run over by truck. And it worked.

(01:15:50):
But in the process of these exams, the one of
the potential areas of damage was I damage. They said,
are you sure you want to do this, because this
can image? I said, what kind of damage? Well, you
know it's a young clinical trial. We're not really sure.
I said, Well, what do I have to do? Said
you have to undergo a thorough I exam. I said,

(01:16:14):
I'll gladly do that because I have never done that.
I've never been to an eye doctor. The last time
I had my eyes checked was getting a driver's license renewed.
We have a little chart up there, so guess what.
Because I had to do that, I now got prescription glass.
I am seeing better than I have in fifty years

(01:16:37):
or maybe thirty. I have three different pairs of glasses
depending on the circumstance I'm in and where I am now.
It's only laziness and a feeling of invincibility that prevented
me from going to the die doctor in the first place.
I don't like going to doctors. I just figure go

(01:16:59):
out and get some cheaters at the drug store, some
magnification reading glasses. But they stopped everything there was. There
was a ghosting and a blur on everything, particularly on
computer screens. So I had to go undergo massive, massive examinations. Okay, so, uh,
by hook or by crook, something good happened. I'm seeing

(01:17:21):
better than I haven't. I don't know how long. I'm
not saying it took cancer for this to happen. I'm
saying it took something to make me go to the
doctor to get it done. It's a positive in the
midst of all this other and there's little things like
that that that that I can't help. But I get down. Folks,
don't misunderstand. I'm not one of these phony always uh

(01:17:48):
miss America contested positive type thing. But but I have
the optimism gene and and so um I can't help it.
And that's why I'm sitting here and tell you we
can't sustain this. Well. Anyway, back to the original point,

(01:18:08):
I went back and because I was downloading the beta
while while talking to the last caller, I will admit
I was doing two things at once, so I was
relying on the transcription of the caller while download because
I was having trouble downloading. But we got a network
oddity here that won't download full bore betas. I had
to forgot the network and then readd it and do

(01:18:29):
a bunch of time doing this while talking to the
guy on the phone because I multitask. So anyway, I
went back and the transcript of the guy's call, and
his point actually was very very important. What he was
getting at was this, now that these ostensibly a politically

(01:18:55):
but culturally liberal experts are seeing their work trashed because
Trump is leading it. See here's here's here's what his
point was this. You have these experts, let's name them.
You get Fauci and the rest of the experts. Of
this is I don't mean this as a direct criticism

(01:19:16):
of Fauci, said, don't anybody call him up and say
that Limbo's trash him. It's not the point here. Listen
very carefully. These experts love to portray themselves as a
political They're not liberal, they're not conservative, they're not Republican
or not democrat, because that is how they establish credibility.

(01:19:38):
That is how they establish that they're not biased, and
they love the idea that they are a political and
the media will present them as a political even though
they're not a political. As the point, they are culturally
liberal while acting a political and their work their work,

(01:20:03):
and I h wherever it is not just doctor Fauci.
I'm talking about this entire level, at a federal level
of experts that we didn't elect it. We don't even
know who they are, we don't know their qualifications. We're
just told that they're experts, and we are told that
they're a political But what they are our cultural liberals.

(01:20:27):
They are seeing their work trashed because Trump is leading it.
They are secretly grimacing. They would love for all this
to be happening with Obama as president, but they are
grimacing because it is Trump. They think because Trump is president,

(01:20:52):
that their work is being trashed because Trump is leading it,
and that the caller's point is the equivalent of the
black community seeing how the emperor has no clothes. With
the Democrats, the black community is finally seeing how much
good the Trump economy did for them versus fifty years
of literally nothing and no improvements under a series of

(01:21:18):
Democrat presidencies and so forth, and and this is what
Trump is trying to convey, but he has he has
these these these verbals. My point is that Trump knows
that these guys would rather him not be president. He
knows that these experts think that their work is being

(01:21:39):
tarnished because it is Trump that is promoting it. Does
this make sense? It would it would It would be.
It would be like um me being worried that CNN
starts praising me. Oh, these people are concerned, these experts,

(01:22:00):
that it is Trump bringing them up and Trump letting
them speak, and Trump that that is touting their their work,
and it's embarrassing. It's just something that they privately probably
seethe over. And this is what the caller was getting

(01:22:22):
at the correlation between that and the African American community
seeing how much benefit there was with the Trump economy,
the Trump administration versus fifty years of basic stagnation with
the Democrat So it was a it was a it

(01:22:43):
was a valid point. Now here's something else. I keep
going back to California. I'm sorry, as a layman and
somebody of unending curiosity, it just puzzles me to no
end that California is not a much closer ground zero

(01:23:08):
or many more cases. And here's a story from the
Gateway ponder to zero head. Sweden decide and the left
love Sweden? Do they not crazy? Bernie? They all love Sweden.
Sweden decides to let coronavirus run its course in the
country without destroying its economy or future. Sweden is taking

(01:23:32):
a different approach in battling the coronavirus pandemic. The country
remains open for biddness. Life goes on as usual, fuel restrictions.
The political leaders are placing responsibility on the individual. What
does that mean? What is placing responsibility on the individual?
It's very simple. If you're six, stay home. If you

(01:23:56):
are old and or otherwise enfeebled and set stay home.
If you cannot help but interact with the old and
or otherwise enfeebled, stay home. Sweden is leaving these decisions
up to its own citizens. Sweden is placing responsibility on

(01:24:16):
the individual. They have taken a slightly different approach to
the coronavirus. Life goes on as normal now. Denmark is
not doing this. Denmark has restricted meetings to ten people
or fewer. Swedes are still going out to nightclubs, hanging
out with friends, even enjoying ice creams together. According to

(01:24:37):
the BBC, so they are getting it over with. They're
having whoever is going to be exposed to it, be
exposed to it, deal with it, telling sick people to
stay home, don't expose yourselves, don't take unnecessary risk. But
they're not shutting down the country now. They they have

(01:25:00):
limited gatherings to fifty people as of Sunday, but the
government is largely leaving decisions over self isolation and social
distancing up to individual citizens. The BBC notes that almost
half of Stockholm residents are working remotely, that traffic is
quieter than usual. Stockholm's public transport company reports fifty percent

(01:25:22):
fewer writers. So people on their own are without government pressure,
government force. If they're sick, they're staying home. If they
think they might get sick, they're staying home. And the
disease is essentially being allowed to run its course. A
grab line too, We've got We've got Barbara in Orange County, California,

(01:25:45):
and she has somewhat of a similar theory about California.
Since I'm expressing interest in it, Hi, Barbara, I'm glad
you waited how are you, hi, Rush, I'm great, Mega
prayers to you. Thank you. I'm excited to talk to
I love you. I let your show. I love your
optimism him it's contagious. Well, I hope it is genuine.

(01:26:05):
I just don't want it to mislead anybody. And no,
you don't mislead. I was listening to your show this
morning and you were touching on California and how you
were surprised by the numbers and that you would think
that it would be going a lot crazier than it
actually is or it seems to be. But I have
my family, my neighbors, my neighborhood, a lot of people

(01:26:27):
in my community. We all sort of have the sense
that we've already kind of experienced the coronavirus. We've had
like flews what we thought were flus, went to the
doctor and they were negative, and we've had my husband
couldn't get out of bed, he was having a hard
time breathing. Who was He took an asthma like an

(01:26:48):
asthma spray. We all they recovered, my neighbors recovered. But
we think that it's been around since like January, that's
early January. Well, so what you're essentially saying is that
you people in California have already you've dealt with it.
It's you've you've had people get it, not get it,

(01:27:10):
be infected, some severely, some not. One hundred and fifty
people that are dead. But it happened while you didn't
know it was happening, because it happened before any of
these warnings and alerts happened. So you basically have already
been through it, and you've already you've already dealt with
the impact of it and the stance. We didn't know

(01:27:30):
when it was going on, all right, you had it,
you didn't know it. Some people never have symptoms. Some
people thought you had just the flu. Didn't You didn't
know coronavirus from sharronavirus, so you didn't know what you had.
Or people had it likely and so they did. It
just ran its course. This is your theory, this is
my theory. And now that we're all on lockdown and
we walk in the neighborhood more often than we do

(01:27:51):
than we did before, or more people are walking than
they did before, and even people in the community that
we like, we'll see in passing. They'll all say that
they all had some similar that they would get flutus
and they'd be negative. And there's there's not just a
small group, it's a big group of people that say that.
All right, well, look I appreciate that, and I'm glad

(01:28:11):
you're called again folks, as as I have to always
point out here, Um, I'm I'm saying, do not associated
thing i'm saying with anything official, and do not associate
a thing i'm saying with expert or expertise in medicine
or health, because I have neither. I'm no different than

(01:28:32):
anybody else. I've just been a patient and I just
have a natural curiosity about things. So I'm I'm merely speculating, um,
And so don't don't. I don't want anybody to think
that I am telling you an anological certitude. What has
happened in California is my wild guess. Now some of

(01:28:53):
you are saying, well, why don't you Look, you could
get anybody on your program you want. You could get
Fauci if you want to. You can get anybody. Why
don't you get experts in stet A sitting there in
speculate because they're everywhere else and they're not going to
say anything different here than they're saying anywhere else, snardily
saying yes they would, because you're going to ask them
different questions and they're being well, maybe so, I don't know,

(01:29:16):
but well I know. That's another thing that the information
is so contradictory. But yeah, I have too. I've read
that there are eight strains of it, and there may be,
and we don't have a vaccine. The reason this is

(01:29:36):
different than the flu, and I'm going to try to
say this as accurately, it's like, the reason this is
different than the flu is that we have vaccines. We
have flu shots, are we are, we have catalogued and
have the ability to treat the various mutations of the
flu virus. Every years a new one. There's a swine flu,
there's the bird flu, there's the Wi Fi flu. What

(01:30:00):
ever the flu is, we have a vaccine for it
at some point. And because we have a vaccine, we
are now we have accepted the number of deaths anywhere
from thirty to sixty thousand deaths a year from the flu.
We've accepted it because we have a vaccine to protect
most of the people this we've got nothing. We don't

(01:30:20):
have a vaccine we don't have a treatment, We've got nothing.
This thing is the equivalent of an airplane crash every day,
and you know what that does to society. And so
it's got people scared out of their gourd because there's
no way to fight it right now other than sequester
and socially distance and so forth. And this is why

(01:30:44):
people are willing to do it, because they're seeing all
the stories of people dying who get this thing. But
there are to thousands of recoveries. Not everybody dies who
gets this, it's like any other disease. Not everybody who
gets it died, which is true even of cancer. But
I mean the degree of I don't know what to

(01:31:11):
do in a paranoia or fear that has been created
here is real and therefore has to be has to
be dealt with, and until there is a vaccine or
a an acknowledged medical treatment. And you know this business
with the with with clark when and zithromias, and it

(01:31:35):
seems to be working everywhere it's tried in the vast
majority of cases. And yes it's yet it's not being
how oops just saw the Clark, it's not being trumpeted.
That makes me curious as well, I gotta take a break, folks,
hang on, We'll be back and continue after this. No,
I had a switch networks, had a switch networks to
finish downloading the betas nerdly asking how Beta down is

(01:31:57):
something really strange and primary WiFi network there will not
download one thing. I have to switch to a secondary
network to get it at any rate. Folks, data breaches.
You know, everybody's at home and we need the Internet,
and we need the electrical grid, we need all of
this stuff to continue to run. This as our connectivity

(01:32:19):
and because everybody's at home and relying on this stuff
more than ever, data breaches are are happening all the time.
Some are reported, particularly if the company or entity is
a high profile, when many or not. You be amazed
at how many mom and pop businesses in doctor's offices
our data breach victims, meaning they get hacked and the

(01:32:40):
members or patients or whatever customers data is stolen. It
happens easily. Employee working on a computer may accidentally click
on a link that allows malware to infect a computer.
It's often all it takes, and it happens silently without
anybody's noticing it, and it may not be announced for months.
How do you protect yourself here? It's very simple LifeLock.

(01:33:05):
You may need LifeLock more now than ever. No one
company can prevent all identity theft, but lifelocks online protection
systems are constantly working, constantly scanning the web looking for
evidence that you have a LifeLock member have been compromised.
They're looking for evidence your information is being used illegally.

after this. The views expressed by the host on this
program documented to me almost always right ninety nine point
eight percent of the time, utilizing talent on lawn from God.

(01:34:11):
All right, so we got some audio soundbites. So I
want to start here with audio SoundBite number four nine.
This is under the umbrella of all kinds of confusing
news because we had a SoundBite earlier today Governor Kumo
in New York assuring us the number cases are going up,
and we got the got a screen shot here from

(01:34:32):
Fox News from some guy named what's his name? Here
it is coming up, Hang on, be tough this His
name is doctor Keith Armitage. Rate of new cases decreasing
in New York. Similar trends being reported in California, washing
cases decreasing. This this afternoon, Fox News. Governor Cuomo today

(01:34:55):
said no, no, no, no, no, cases are still going up,
assuring the media. Here is Alison Camarada this morning on CNN.
We've just gotten a headline and information here into CNN
says that the rate of growth of COVID nineteen in
New York appears to be slowing a bit. Do you

(01:35:15):
know anything about the daily increase in the rate? Yeah, Alison,
we've been falling that fairly closely, and it does appear
to have slowed now a couple of days in a row.
That could be good news. Whoa what are we to
believe the Governor of New York's case is still going up?
The media gets hyped CNN this morning and a guy

(01:35:36):
on Fox saying on a number cases in New York
is going down hospitalizations. They want you to believe hospitals
are overflowing, but they're not all over the country, maybe
in certain places. Let's go to doctor Fauci Audio Sombite
number six this morning, also on CNN, the question of

(01:36:00):
doctor Fauci, tell us where you're seeing early signs of improvement.
I know that New York has seen a decline in
the rate of growth in new infections. What else are
you seeing that gives you some hope that the curve
is being flattened to somewhat. What we was starting to
see right now is just the inklings. And I don't
want to put too much stock on it because you

(01:36:20):
don't want to get over confident. Just want to keep pushing.
And what you're doing is starting to see that the
daily increases are not in that steep incline. They're starting
to be able to possibly flatten out. I mean, again,
you look at it carefully, hope it's going in the
right direction. But that's what we really are trying to attain,
that multi phase component where it ultimately starts to come down.

(01:36:44):
We have inklings, the curves may be flattening so everybody
today except Governor Cuomo, is talking about the number cases
going down. Governor Cuomo and his press are at noon
assured the media cases are still going up. Are you
getting to see some sort of flattening? Okay, that's wonderful,

(01:37:05):
that's absolutely wonderful. It proves that social distancing is working.
But we can't continue to create this flattening with social
distancing alone. Now. Governor Cuomo also said something else today.
He said that we're all going to be able to
go back to work when we finally get a test,
when we get a test that we can take quickly

(01:37:26):
and show who's got it and who doesn't. That this
is this is going to mean we're gonna be able
to go back to work. Now, that really perked my
ears up, because a test is not a vaccine. I
want to go to Caroline in Virginia Beach, who is
a nurse, wants to weigh in on this. Great to
have you high Hey rush Vega dittos and mega prayers

(01:37:46):
from old ditto heads here. Thank you, um will quickly.
I mean, I'm just a dumb nurse. But my thoughts are,
you know, with this abbot test that they you know,
Trump is talking about yesterday. That's coming out too. Originally
they said the hospitals, the doctor's offices, and urgent cares,
so you know people are going to it's going to

(01:38:07):
be a much better way of testing people. It's like
a fifteen minute test. And they're saying that they can
test like one hundred thousand people a day or something.
I don't know if that's an accurate number, but anyhow,
so people are all going to be tested to see
if they've had it or not had it, because, like
that person Barbara said, there's a lot of people out
there that have had it that didn't know they'll be

(01:38:28):
positive and that's going to also change this whole percentage
of death rate and everything. But the other thing that
I think they need to do is give the hydroxy
quint alone to all healthcare workers because it supposedly decreases
the viral load. Is it as a prophylactic? They have

(01:38:48):
said yes, they think that it is, which is why
you know it worked as an anti malarial drug, right
because it decreases the viral load. It may not prevent
you from getting it, but it'll decrease your viral load
and you may not have it as long or as severe,
because I think a lot of the healthcare people are
getting a huge viral load. These ones that are getting

(01:39:09):
really sick. There's a lot of physicians that are you know,
in critical care and whatnot, and I think their load
has been so high, and I don't know, but you know,
these are just my thoughts. So you get everybody. So
once you have patients getting it, you know that they
feel can get it along with them the Z pack,
and then you get to the healthcare workers getting it,

(01:39:31):
then they can start sending it out to people in
the country. You get it from your doctor, you go
to a drive through to get it at you know,
dairy Queen, whatever, so that the people in the country
are getting it, and then those people that have already
tested positive, you can let them start going back to
work again. Of course, there has to be a way
of taking their temperature because they say they can still

(01:39:52):
get it again. But if people are taking the hydroxy
quint alone, then it's not going to be as severe.
And and I just feel like there's a way of
doing this whole thing without keeping you seem to think,
you seem to believe that it is related to the testing.
If the testing could get up and running and we
could get some definitive quick answers, or you get people

(01:40:14):
back to work quicker based on testing, not a vaccine exactly. Well,
I mean the vaccine they say it's not going to
comfort a while, but the eighteen months. But the other
thing that they have been doing, though is taking a
plasma from people who have been positive. And I don't
know what the results of that are, but they can
give that to people who are you know, maybe they're sick,

(01:40:35):
and they can not give them, you know, the ability
to make antibodies too, so maybe they'll have a decreased
fire load. I mean, there's all kinds of studies going
out there with drugs, you know, other than just vaccines
to prevent the whole thing. And you know, you said
something about the mutation of them of the virus. They
say there's not been a whole bunch of mutation, because

(01:40:57):
that might make it an easier way of getting a vaccine. Well,
then there because I had read that there are eight
and Snerdley had read the same thing. And this is
why there's there's so much information out there and we
don't know what is accurate and what isn't I'm just
fascinated by the fact that you believe once Abbott gets

(01:41:19):
all these tests up and running, that we can start
testing massive numbers of people and that if you've had it,
if the test shows that you've had it, then you're
good to go. I mean, there are some people. I
saw Marty Mcasey, who was from john Hopkins JOHNS Hopkins.
He was on TV being asked this question last night

(01:41:39):
of Brett Bear Special Report Fox News, and they don't
have any clinical information on it. They've got some anecdotal
evidence that some people get it a second time, but
they have they have no nothing that's that's definitive clinical
that they can say, yeah, guaranteed percentage of people are
going to get it a second time. You seem to
believe the test is key that people can get tested

(01:42:02):
and have had it and are okay, that they can
be cleared to leave home and go ahead and go
to work. I can see that, I can see where
the testing would would be a relevant, relevant factor there.
I appreciate Carol and the call. Thank you, thanks very much. Yeah,

(01:42:24):
let me take a break. I need I need to
have significant time on the other side of it. The
pillow guy, my pillow guy got ranked over the calls
for his appearance yesterday to Rose Garden with with Trump.
There was an amazing briefing yesterday. We'll talk about it
when we get back. So hang on, I'm gonna tell
you something else that I think out there. Using some

(01:42:46):
common slang, I'm gonna tell you that I think is
going to speed up the return to normalcy, and that
is when health care professionals are finally protected from the
people to have the disease when they come in to
see them in the hospital, doctor's office, or whatever. It
is clear that we don't yet have enough protection for

(01:43:13):
all of the people a healthcare industry dealing with coronavirus patients. Now,
that's spotty. In some states, it's okay, not a problem.
Other states there are shortages, shortages of gowns, masks. I'm
not talking about ventilators. I'm talking about the things that
would protect the doctors and nurses at once that's in
place once. If we could get that up and running

(01:43:35):
where everybody in the health professional treatment world can be
guaranteed of being protected against the disease, then it's it's
going to free things up as well. But is as
long as the healthcare professionals, doctors and nurses are susceptible
to getting the disease and therefore being useless. Well, that's

(01:43:57):
going to be a hamstring on any effort. And I
returned to normalcy now very quickly, very quickly. We have
a listener here named Dan. Things are looking up for
this guy till the company he was working for downsize
to staff the holiday season. He had a good paying job.
He just had his best year ever. He had enough

(01:44:19):
money saved to contemplate tackling the one problem that he
was hiding from, and that was several years of not
paying taxes. He had years and years of IRS debt.
Now he's a listener here. He'd written down the name
Optima Tax and their phone number, and he finally called
them and his relief. They offered to handle all the
communications with the IRS. The Optimus staffers worked out a

(01:44:41):
compromise with IRS agents, a deal that resolved or reduced
his tax debt by thousands of dollars more than the
IRS originally demanded. Now, this guy Dan is an example
of a person benefiting from how Optima resolves tax debt
issues with the IRS every day, and the RS is
still out trying to collect folks. You are a captive audience.

(01:45:06):
Optimattax Relief is busy. They have resolved more than a
billion dollars in tax debt. They specialize in an IRS
program called the Fresh Start Initiative. Call him today eight
hundred and nine seven three seventy seven hundred if you
have a problem. Optimattax Relief at eight hundred and nine
seventy three seventy seven hundred. So yesterday the White House

(01:45:28):
briefing including CEOs, each of whom explained how their business
is joining the all hands on deck effort to fight coronavirus.
Now the left is calling these commercials. They're calling them
Trump rallies. The people at the rally yesterday at the

(01:45:48):
briefings a Mike Lindell, the CEO of My Pillow, who
announced he's converting his pillow manufacturing company to medical equipment.
Darius Adamche CEO of Honeywell. Deborah Waller, CEO Jockey Company
made parachutes in wartime, now makes underwear and so forth.
Greg Hayes, the CEO of United Technologies Cooperation two hundred

(01:46:11):
and forty thousand employees. David Taylor, CEO of Procter and gamble. Now,
these people were proud, They were determined it. It was
not just optimism. These people were determined to help fight
and try to maintain the supply chain to keep America
running during all this. Well, Mike Lindell of My Pillow

(01:46:33):
freaked the left out completely when it's Adeo Sambit number
eleven said this God gave us grace on November eight,
twenty sixteen, to change the course we were on. God
had been taken out of our schools and lives, a
nation had turned his back on God. And I encourage
you'd use this time at home to get back in
the word, read our Bibles, and spend time with our families.

(01:46:56):
Our president gave us so much hope. Where just a
few short money ago we had the best economy, the
lowest unemployment and wages going up. It was amazing. With
our great president vice president and this administration and all
the great people in this country praying daily, we will
get through this and get back to a place that's
stronger and safer than ever. Now. The media freaked out

(01:47:19):
because separation of churches state you can't get up there
and associate God with the president. And with this effort,
they were just beside themselves. They started making fun of Lindell,
the my pillow guy. I mean, it was all over
the left wing media, it was all over left wing Twitter.
They were mocking his appearance. Trump just called him my

(01:47:40):
pillow guy up to the podium in the Rose Garden.
You can't make this stuff up. My pillow guy was
at the coronavirus briefing today. Boy, oh boy, do we
need Saturday Night Live this Saturday. If this had been
an SNL skit, we would have thought it was fake. Right,
you can't make this up. Who's going to play them up?
They just you start mentioning God, start mentioning the Bible,

(01:48:03):
start mentioning any of this associated with this effort, and
they just literally freak out. Now they're trying to say,
and this is a violation a separation of church of
states that the state cannot present a single religion. So
that's not what was happening. This is Lindell. He was
up expressing his personal beliefs like every other CEO that
stepped up there today, and he is converting his pillow

(01:48:27):
manufacturing apparatus to manufacturing masks and other things for healthcare professionals.
Here is grab sound. At number twelve, there's a medium
montage of the mocking reaction these PR stunts like mister
Pillow coming out and giving a plug for his company.
Then up came the guy from My Pillow who gave

(01:48:50):
an update on his business in part an add for
my Pillow, My Pillow, the my pillow guy up on
the days you got the my pillow guy getting up
there talking about reading the Bible. I said to my
pillow guy has put his business on the map. My
pillow guy has as executed a pretty brilliant PR plan.

(01:49:12):
But the fact that there is such outrage over this,
the idea that there is such a visceral degree of
anger about it. Somebody simply urging Americans to come together

(01:49:33):
and be strong and vigilant and so forth. We all
need faith, folks. There's nothing without faith. Faith. Whether you
know it or not, you have it, whether you believe
it or not. You have faith, and you are utilizing

(01:49:54):
it each and every day as you go about your
daily life. Never remind them, my pillow guy is giving
up his business to try to help the country. He's
literally giving it up and still being mocked. Okay, a
brief break and we'll be back to wrap it up.
Oh here it is more evidence in the fastest three

(01:50:15):
hours immediate. I know that you are very, very sad
that it's over. But that's okay, folks, because there's always tomorrow.
We will be back, reved and ready and loaded for
whatever happens between now and then. We'll be ready for
it and on top of it. Thanks so much for

(01:50:36):
being with us today. See you tomorrow.
