RUSH: My goodness, folks, we\u2019re being double-teamed here! On CNN, we got Pelosi. What is propping her eyes open? What in the world is…? Has she got some toothpicks in there that we can\u2019t see? Pelosi is addressing the nation on the coronavirus, and on Fox it\u2019s Crazy Bernie addressing the nation on the coronavirus.<\/p>\n
Fox has Nancy as well. (interruption) Oh, that\u2019s right. Fox just… (interruption) Well, we were gonna JIP Crazy Bernie, and then Fox abandoned Crazy Bernie to give us Pelosi. Dare we listen? Let\u2019s. I\u2019ll take a chance. Let\u2019s JIP this and see what she\u2019s saying just for the heck of it. If it goes on too long, don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll bump out.<\/p>\n
PELOSI: — these children will be four or five of their meals.<\/p>\n
RUSH: What?<\/p>\n
PELOSI: Our bill takes aggressive action to strengthen food security initiatives, including student meals, as well as SNAP, seniors\u2019 meals, and food banks. As we develop our next steps, we will continue to listen to and benefit from the expertise of scientists, health care professionals, public health officials, and community leaders so that we can craft the most effective evidence-based response.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. All right. That\u2019s it. So we get the idea what\u2019s going on here. They all know that Trump is coming up at 3 o\u2019clock after the program. Trump has got some sort of… The word is that Trump\u2019s gonna declare a national emergency. Now, a national emergency, essentially what that is is a blank check. So these guys, Pelosi and Crazy Bernie, are paranoid, because blank check is their bailiwick.<\/p>\n
So Trump\u2019s gonna come up with a blank check here in declaring a national emergency, so they have to get out in front of it. They had to get out there and beat it. So Crazy Bernie went out with whatever his prescriptions were (I didn\u2019t get a chance to listen to much of what he was saying) and Pelosi has done the same thing. So they are attempting, the Democrats…<\/p>\n
I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if they get Plugs out of whatever bed he is in right now, wherever he is, and get him out before the cameras before 3 o\u2019clock today to make it look like the Democrat Party is running this country, to make it look like the Democrat Party and the media are running the country because Donald Trump is incompetent and incapable and doesn\u2019t even care. That is the impression that they are trying to make.<\/p>\n
Nancy Pelosi\u2019s Speaker of the House. She doesn\u2019t have any authority over the executive branch. She has nothing to say about how the executive branch is gonna deal with this, and yet she\u2019s out there doing an address to the nation on what she and the House Democrats are doing to make America safer and all of this. So there\u2019s clearly a power grab going on.<\/p>\n
The Democrats think that they\u2019ve got Trump at a very weak and vulnerable moment where they can make it look like he\u2019s not even president; he\u2019s not even involved. They are trying to make it look like they\u2019re taking over the whole thing. What is she saying, “students will be deprived of their meals with schools closed”? Is that what she said? Are we back to this? Are we back…? Are we back to the same argument the school lunch? So Pelosi… (interruption) Okay. I was unable to pick up on this.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve just been informed one of the things that Pelosi\u2019s saying… Are you ready for this? Since the schools are going to be shut down because of the coronavirus, Pelosi is concerned that the students are gonna starve. That\u2019s right. See, there won\u2019t be any federal school lunch program. The schools can\u2019t open. Now, normally what would happen is even if they suspended classes, they would open the schools for lunch.<\/p>\n
But they can\u2019t open the schools because it\u2019s the coronavirus. They gotta keep people from congregating there. So Pelosi\u2019s on television right now assuring everybody that the House Democrats are gonna make sure that your kids don\u2019t starve. (laughing) How many of you are parents whose kids aren\u2019t gonna be going to school because of the coronavirus? How many of you are gonna let your kids starve?<\/p>\n
How many are not going to feed your kids? How many of you are gonna sit out there and Little Johnny and Little Susie are gonna be bawling their eyes out and crying \u2019cause they\u2019re deathly hungry? They\u2019re starving to death! They\u2019re looking you right in the face and (sobbing), “Mommy! Mommy! I don\u2019t have any Cheerios!” and you\u2019re not gonna give them any Cheerios because you don\u2019t know how. Only the federal government knows how to feed your kid!<\/p>\n
Your kid\u2019s gonna starve right before your very eyes, because you don\u2019t know how to feed your kid, and you may not even care enough to feed your kid because the federal government\u2019s been doing it for so long. (laughing) Pelosi went on national TV to assure everybody that your kids will not starve. Now, did you get the details of how she\u2019s gonna feed them, how she\u2019s…? (interruption) We don\u2019t know how she\u2019s gonna feed them.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t know how, what the distribution points are gonna be. Maybe get MREs from the military? I mean, how is she gonna do it? Oh, wait. Maybe Michelle Obama has some of that trail mix left over that everybody hated that she was giving out. Trail mix or whatever it was. Seriously! How\u2019s Pelosi gonna feed your kids? But she\u2019s assuring you that the federal government… The Democrats in the House, the Democrats.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/APP-031320-Fox-Grab-Bernie.jpg\")
Not your elected officials, but the Democrats in the House, are not gonna let your kid starve (laughing) because otherwise you might! (laughing) I\u2019m sitting here and I\u2019m asking myself, “How long\u2019s it gonna be before the rest of this country catches up with us, folks?” \u2019cause I know you\u2019re on the same page with me here. But how long is it gonna be before the rest of the country gets up to speed?<\/p>\n
How long before everybody wakes up and finds out\/realizes what a scam is being run here. “Mr. Limbaugh, are you saying that coronavirus is nothing to be worried about?” Nothing of sort. I\u2019m not saying that any virus is nothing to be afraid of! I\u2019m telling you there\u2019s a scam being run along with it. (interruption) They\u2019re going to give money through SNAP? That\u2019s the…? (interruption) Don\u2019t tell me. Don\u2019t tell me. SNAP. SNAP. (snapping figures) That\u2019s the food stamp program.<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s debit cards-type operation.<\/p>\n
So poor parents are gonna feed their kids via the SNAP program. Is that it? (interruption) Okay. Well, that\u2019s a good thing, because poor parents don\u2019t know how to feed their kids. Have you seen it? It\u2019s a terrible thing to see. Have you ever seen kids that literally starving before their parents\u2019 eyes? Apparently, this happens in this country, and it\u2019s why we need the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n
Because without the Democrat Party, this would happen far more often than it does. It\u2019s a horrible thing to see, folks. Little kids sitting there on the floor, 6 or 7 years old, literally dying of starvation while their parents look on helplessly, not knowing what\u2019s going on, not knowing why their kids are dying. It\u2019s another reason why you need the Democrat Party and the SNAP program.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a sound bite. I gotta play this because you may not hear this one again. This is Andrew Cuomo. He held a press conference to talk about New York state\u2019s response to the coronavirus. Now, I watched a little bit of it today, and… (sigh) Well, here. Let me play the sound bite first, and then I may add to it. Here\u2019s what Governor Cuomo had to say…<\/p>\n
CUOMO: I spoke with the vice president today, and I spoke with the president, and they are authorizing New York state to do the testing and allowing our labs to do the tests, and allowing the state health department to set up the protocol. That will increase dramatically our testing capacity. I want to thank the president and the vice president for their receptivity to the idea, and I want to thank them for their quick turnaround.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, you may not hear that sound bite again, which is why I wanted to get it out there and to get it on the record. Now, Andrew Cuomo… I was watching this during the break at the top of the hour. He went on. He was talking about a bunch of things, and he said something else sensible in the midst of some other things difficult to follow. He said, “Most people are recovering from this.”<\/p>\n
And I did a double-take. “Wait a minute! We\u2019ve got a politician trying to talk people off the ledge rather than onto it?” And he did. He said it again. “Most people are recovering from it,” and he said (impression), “And, by the way, if it\u2019s my daughter, I\u2019m not gonna be as concerned as if it was my mother,” and he went on to explain why.<\/p>\n
And this is kind of when he went off the rails, but I gotta be nice here. He said (Cuomo impression), “The daughter, well, you never know who\u2019s driving the cab. You never know who\u2019s sitting next to her on the bus. You never know. But because of her age, she probably not gonna get it. But my mother, well, my mother\u2019s a different — I don\u2019t know any more than my mother. Why? Because my mother gave birth to me. And as we all know, when your mother gives birth to you, she knows more than you do your whole life. So I can\u2019t tell my mother anything. But I am gonna be concerned about keeping her away from the bus and the cab.”<\/p>\n
Despite it all, I got what he was saying about the giving birth bit. It\u2019s good to know he knows how that happens. Democrats and birth are not partners. Democrats and birth can be strangers. So Governor Cuomo understanding that his mother gave birth to him is a big deal and that that qualifies her — he was essentially saying that she\u2019s an elder, she\u2019s always gonna know more than I do and I gotta listen to her. And I appreciate that. That\u2019s the way I was raised as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
