RUSH: I’m the guy that’s been warning everybody about who the Democrats are and the modern-day leftists, but I swear, I don’t know how much more I can take of a political party and its governors actually attempting to extend this damage, to prolong the harm that is occurring to average, ordinary people. It is amazing to watch this.
I’m asking myself, do they have no common sense? What are they gonna have left if they succeed with this? Governor Cuomo just said the most incredible thing, and I’ll bet you this is gonna be true of Illinois. Governor Cuomo at his briefing just said that the state budget of New York is totally dependent on what the federal government gives them. Stop and think about that. And I’ll bet you who’s gonna be next in line is this guy who — you know, I get the mayors and the governors in Illinois confused because the mayor of Chicago actually runs that state. J. B. Pritzker, whoever, they’re gonna be next, and both of these states have pension plans that are in big trouble and they’re gonna use federal money to bail that stuff out.
But for Cuomo to come along and say that the state budget of — and this guy’s gonna run for president? The Democrats think this is their savior nominee? Ho. So he’s sending basically the news that we’re gonna need a bailout after all of this. No wonder he’s being so nice to Trump. No wonder he’s being complimentary of Trump. No wonder Trump’s playing these audio sound bites of Cuomo complimenting him, calling Trump phenomenal. It really irritates the Drive-Bys, by the way.
Folks, I can’t tell you how this depresses me to watch this. I mean, I know that there are people in this country that don’t like it. And I know that there are people in this country who think capitalism is a mistake and so forth, but if these people succeed, there’s not gonna be anything left to govern, which maybe is the objective. Put it back together in their own dream. But we’re heading down a path of utter destruction here, and the evidence continues to mount that it has not been necessary. And that’s what I want to start with today.
How many of you have some of the news about testicles may make men more vulnerable to coronavirus. Have you seen that story? (interruption) Testicles. The coronavirus could linger in the testicles, making men prone to longer, more severe cases of the illness, according to a new study.
Okay. So we have all of these studies on chloroquine, can’t pay any attention to those, we don’t have enough anecdotal evidence. We can’t rely on that study. We can’t rely on ’em. Somebody comes along and says it may linger in testicles and man, it makes big news. If I were the Democrats I’d kind of be happy. The Democrat men, all of their testicles are in lockboxes. So they may not even have a problem with this.
It may just be Republican men and their testicles who suffer. ‘Cause Democrat men gave theirs up I can’t tell you how long ago. Just watch any Drive-By Media newscast and you can see testicle-less men all over the place, they’re all over the Democrat Party. And because they put their testicles in lockboxes back during the Hillary era, they may be inadvertently be protected here.
The obligatory Dr. Fauci headlines. “Dr. Fauci Condemns Protesters Clamoring for End to Lockdown: Premature Reopening Will ‘Backfire,'” says Dr. Fauci. But then Dr. Birx praised what’s about to go in Florida.
Grab sound bite nobody 24. This happened at the briefing yesterday at the White House. A reporter said to the Scarf Queen, “You again praise the American people for doing their bit over the past few weeks. What goes through your mind when you see photographs of crowded beaches in Florida? Is that of concern for when we start seeing some of these restrictions being lifted?”
BIRX: We go metro by metro, county by county. And so I’d have to link that with a specific county and look at their case rates. I believe the governor and the public health system that Florida has, they have some of the best county public health individuals I have ever had to deal with. They are amazing, because I had to work with them under HIV/AIDS.
RUSH: So she’s praising, hey, if they’re opening the beaches in Florida, I gotta trust the health people there, totally knocking the media guy down a peg or two. Now, you could also say that Dr. Birx, she’s not gonna run down any medical or health expert no matter where they are. Even if they’re in Tanzania, she’s not gonna run ’em down. She’s gonna stay loyal to the industry, to the business of health expertise. But it sounds to me like she knows some of these things personally. It totally messed everybody up. They thought Dr. Birx was going to savage the mayor of Jacksonville. And they thought the Scarf Queen was gonna savage the governor, Ron DeSantis, and she didn’t.
Speaking of media — which, as you know, they aren’t media, and here’s another bit of evidence. The Miami Herald, the newspaper, has a “metro columnist,” meaning she writes columns on the local scene in the Miami Herald. Her name is Fabiola Santiago. She tweeted yesterday that Florida residents on “packed beaches should work nicely to thin the ranks of” supporters of Trump and DeSantis.
She’s hoping that crowded beaches lead to more people getting COVID-19 and dying, and she’s assuming most of the people going to the beaches are gonna be Trump supporters and DeSantis supporters. So let’s just hope they spread the disease and die! That’s one… (interruption) “Was she fired?” (laughing) I don’t even think she’s reprimanded. “Santiago tweeted that ‘packed beaches should work nicely to thin the ranks of Trump/DeSantis… supporters in #Florida who value money over health.”
Somebody pointed out that Fabiola Santiago had nothing to say about the decision by three Democrat governors — Murphy, New Jersey; Cuomo, New York; Lamont, Connecticut — to reopen marinas and boatyards under social distancing rules. On Friday they said… (interruption) No, the story here has no reporting on what reaction the paper, her employer, had to this. Nothing’s gonna happen to her. They might go public that she’s been reprimanded and has to do 10 minutes of community service or some such thing.
She may have to go to the beach and stand next to a Trump supporter. Who knows? But this is who they are. See, she will never be called a hatemonger. She will never, ever be thought of as anything as other than compassionate and thoughtful and caring because she’s a liberal Democrat and a member of the media. This is just unadulterated hate. Now, she might say, “I’m just joking.” Yeah, well, we don’t get to joke about things like this.
We don’t get to joke about you people dying. If that happens, they come after us. So I just hope beyond hope that massive numbers of Americans are seeing this, because they’ve got nothing to do but spend time watching the news and the media looking for the latest updates. I hope that there are gazillions of people finally seeing some of this, some of these examples.
I wrote this in another thread...people need to realize that there is a segment of this country that wants everything closed down...indefinitely. They don’t give a damn about the health of Americans, they have political considerations.
Those same people would prefer that the American economy collapses.
If people don’t think that is a serious take, they should take a look at the number of prominent voices from the Left who see this situation as a great opportunity.
Hearing this from the Left is like seeing a cockroach. If you see one, you know there are more.
We cannot stay locked down indefinitely. The death toll from the destruction of the economy not only here but worldwide would make the death toll from the Coronavirus pale in comparison.
And that doesn’t even take into account the possibility of world wide strife and warfare as a result of economic collapse.
This is a huge Democratic hoax. They want this country to be Venezuela by November.
It’s all about power. The Dems covet it. They’d rather rule completely over a Venezuela-type socialist hell hole than sit on the sidelines watching a powerful America grow stronger and richer...
Yep. Exactly it
Look who’s for the shut down and who is not there’s your answer
Yes they do
Good points.
This is a huge Democratic hoax. They want this country to be Venezuela by November.
Big mistake, they started the charade too early. Would have worked if any other President than DJT was our leader.
The DemSoc relies on the fact that US Republicans are too comfortable to be provoked into a revolution and shooting war.
That was valid, until last month... Go shopping for 7.62 NATO, 5.56 NATO, 9mm, .45ACP, in fact ANY of the popular self-defense ammunition...
Dear Lord, please keep this great patriot Rush Limbaugh III under your protective arm, heal him speedily and keep him healthy for many years to come.
Rush is usually right but I am afraid he is much to optimistic
A little optimism for you....100 courses in Coachella Valley.
including PGA West.

You exterminate cockroaches!!
Yes. This is all they have.
At some point, we are going to have to make a choice, we will be forced into it. We can immolate ourselves, our country, and our future, or we can fight it.
Because, make no mistake-there are a lot of unfriendly eyes who have watched how America has handled this, and see now that we clearly have a deep-rooted fear of pathogens, and that there is a part of the political class in this country that will unhesitatingly use that fear as a political tool to achieve political ends, even if it will destroy the country.
This will not be the last time in our lives we will see a human-invoked pandemic. This one may or may not have been intentional, but after observing our response, that may not be the case next time.
And next time, it may not be a pathogen with a .1% mortality rate.
Of course that’s what they want, total dependence on the government.
Right on it. Think about it. The fatalities in any of the states are generally limited to the Agenda 21/30 high density urban areas. 80-90% of the state is generally not affected or minimally affected (note that this is proven true by the elite escaping to the rural areas). A state like NY or Michigan is imposing draconian rules that should apply only to 10-20% of the state to the entire state solely to induce economic hardship and despair.
That's the thing that makes it hard for me to believe that it was deliberate. I have no doubt that CCP hid the information and the WHO botched it since it's their main purpose to warn us of such things.
Occam’s Razor suggests that the simplest explanation is the most likely one, and the most likely one in my mind is that, due to their shoddy practices (in communist countries like this one) it was released by accident.
I admit the I would be interested in seeing how the Chicom military was affected by this. Granted, they aren’t like us who readily reveal that a major capital ship was removed from operational status due to this pathogen, but I think it would be most interesting to see that.
