RUSH: You know, I’m sitting here, I’m trying to get my head — and it’s a big head, my friends. Even with half my brain tied behind my back just to make things fair, it’s a big head. I’m trying to get it around how much things have changed since last Thursday when I was last here. Remember I took Friday off ’cause I needed a rest day. By the way, thank you for your indulgence on that because it was so restorative. It really — or “restorative,” for those of you in Rio Linda. It helped.
Coronavirus Has Vanished as an Issue

RUSH: You know, I’m sitting here, I’m trying to get my head — and it’s a big head, my friends. Even with half my brain tied behind my back just to make things fair, it’s a big head. I’m trying to get it around how much things have changed since last Thursday when I was last here. Remember I took Friday off ’cause I needed a rest day. By the way, thank you for your indulgence on that because it was so restorative. It really — or “restorative,” for those of you in Rio Linda. It helped.
One thing is for sure. One thing is for sure. The coronavirus is no longer an issue anywhere the country, is it? Oh, you might find some people trying to pass out masks so that the rioters and the looters and the protesters can protect themselves, but really… Remember all of this concern? “You can’t go to the beach — and if you do, you gotta be six or 10 feet apart. You can’t do this, you can’t go there, you can’t get in the water, you can’t get a haircut.”
No such restrictions. Coronavirus? What? By the way, ABC News with a story. Ready for this? “ABC Admits the Lockdowns Had No Effect on COVID-19.” It’s a tweet here from Eric Strauss. “Just in: ABC looked at 21 states that eased restrictions May 4 or earlier, found NO MAJOR INCREASE in hospitalizations, deaths or the percentage of people testing positive in ANY of them: SC, MT, GA, MS, SD, AR, CO, ID, IA, ND, OK, TN, TX, UT, WY, KS, FL, IN, MO, NE, OH.” There’s a long, long list of them.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I’m watching Fox Business just after 11 o’clock, and they put a graphic up. Amazon had just sent a message out to drivers, and this was posted at 11:09 a.m. Eastern time, 9:09 a.m. Mountain time. The message says, “If you are currently out delivering packages, stop immediately and return home. If you have not completed your route, please return undelivered packages to the pickup location whenever you are able to do so.”
Amazon called their drivers. I don’t know if this is nationwide ’cause I didn’t even hear it. You know, I have the sound down. It’s an irritating thing, sound is to me. So I just caught it — the graphic — out of the corner of my eye and looked at it. So, anyway, folks, I’m trying to get my head around how much things have changed since last Thursday, the last day that I was here. And the fact that the virus…
ABC is admitting the lockdowns had no effect on the spread of COVID-19, which is now going to be the death knell for lockdowns and the media-generated artificial panic that led to them. God, it is so… Again, I’m out of words. We ruined 40 million Americans! We destroyed their jobs. We destroyed their livelihoods and — in some cases — their lives.
We have wiped out some dreams. Look at what all has happened — and the Boston Marathon, which was rescheduled for September, has now been canceled. The NFL thinks they’re gonna play a full seen season. I’m wondering, “How in the hell is that gonna happen?” But they maintain they will. The college football season? They can’t play if they don’t open campuses. You can’t have college football if there isn’t any learning going on on campus, if they have no students there.
‘Cause they gotta put forth the idea that the student athletes are actually students — and so if college football doesn’t play, guess what? You’re gonna see the NFL on Friday; you’re gonna see the NFL on Saturday. They’re already on Thursday. You’re gonna see the NFL on Sunday and Monday. Somebody’s gotta go in there to fill the vacuum.
Anyway, the virus is no longer an issue. Isn’t it amazing how rapidly the virus has just been scrubbed as an area of panic-level concern? It’s gone, vamonos! And it’s been the case for a month, folks.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. But you know… (interruption) No, no, no, no. Speaking of the coronavirus, you know what I saw on my tech blogs? The tech blogs are already running stories that Trump is going to “blame” the protesters for any new wave of infections due to the coronavirus. Well… (chuckles) Duh! If there is a new outbreak, if there is a second wave, how do you not? But right here it is.
Headline: “Prediction: President Trump Will Blame a Spike in Coronavirus Cases on All the Protesters,” and it’s a big story, about a 750-word story on what a mean guy, what a rotten SOB Donald Trump is. Why even now — even now — Donald Trump is plotting to blame the protesters for any new wave of coronavirus infections!
The one thing… If there is a new wave, the one thing we damn-well know now is (monotone): “that there is no reason to shut down the country ever again, period.” That’s how I dictate to Siri. You gotta take the emotion out of it. If you want to dictate to Siri (monotone), “just say the words.” Don’t pretend you’re talking to a human being, ’cause you’re not. (monotone) “Just speak every word monotone and it will be so much better.
“You will not believe it, period.” That’s how you dictate to Siri. A lot of people say, “Hey, Siri. You need to get hold of my brother and tell my brother I think he’s an idiot for what he said to me three weeks ago.” Siri is never gonna get all that. You’re gonna spend the rest of the afternoon editing that. (monotone) “Hey, Siri. Please get hold of my brother and tell him he is a fool for what he told me he thinks last night, period.”
A hundred percent correct.
Just another service from me to you.

*shudder*
One could certainly be forgiven for entertaining that thought, FRiend :-\
I agree with Rush. The one good thing to come of these riots is they took covid off the front page and when they are over the media will be hard pressed to generate more panic in covid again. People will be able to return to work again assuming their businesses have not been burned to the ground by rioters. CNN will have to pray for another Maylasian airliner to disappear to keep their tragedy centric reporting machine rolling.
How about this for being worse?
Venezuelan style food shortages? We thought it sucked having no toilet paper?
Try no milk, meat, produce, vegetables and etc.
How this happens? Talk to an OTR Trucker. That industry collapses and America is in serious trouble.
COVID-19 isn’t gone.
GA was doing well, Rt transmission rate at very low 0.8, opening up.
Suddenly spiked from near best/safest state to worst with Rt at 1.16.
I’m expecting a spike in cases at 2 weeks, and deaths by 4.
BTTT
Those who murder innocent little babies between conception and birth claim a right to do so as a matter of privacy.
The completely corrupt Supreme Court has enforced that view for 47 years.
Yet, Big Tech can track everyone everywhere and put their every move in an eternal database, and that is treated as OK.
The whole thing’s a flu d’etat. Organized and orchestrated by the chi-coms and Deep State. So are these riots.
Agreed. And yes, things can get worse. A lot worse. That is the Democrat and Globalist plan.
Does Soros have an asteroid? Just wondering.
I know this is federalism in action, but it just fractures us as a society.
Just elect some Democrats, and those food shortages will come swiftly. The Democrats will ban petroleum—its extraction, refining, production, sale, and combustion—to counter the great emergency of “global warming.” Without diesel fuel or some other form of petroleum, most trucks simply cannot run. Natural gas also faces bans, so they can try to run on biodiesel, which largely does not exist and typically requires fossil-fuel inputs.
If for some reason, that trick doesn’t produce the desired famine to welcome an advanced (read:totalitarian Communist) society, then they’ll try something else.
Also....
Dirty Bomb from our friends in N. Korea or Iran.
Another 9/11.
Successful attack on the President.
Hot War with China.
Round II of the Corona Virus. Three times the casualties.
My fevered brain can concoct all sorts of liberal wet dreams. I have no doubt they would be willing to nuke America back to the stone age if it meant getting rid of Trump.
No doubt.
I will get rid of it if it does.
I have only this generic advice. If the media says a thing, do not believe that thing.
They are driving all of this.
Corona is finally back to being a beer
Yet lockdowns continue for the law abiding...
LOL.
The attention span of a child with ADHD.
We may be pretending the virus is over but thats not the reality.
So why admit this now all of a sudden? Simple, they can't maintain both the 'going outside will kill you and more importantly you will endanger and kill others' narrative and the 'rioting protesters assembling in large numbers are the bestest americans ever' narrative at the same time.
They feel they've done all the damage to Trump they can with COVID, now they think they can get more in by tacitly endorsing riots. So now they drop the COVID panic stuff. Simple.
The lockdowns have not stopped. Only the coverage.
