That\u2019s the best way that we can describe this. And here are some shocking numbers. I mean, the numbers themselves are shocking. The fact that it\u2019s happened is not that shocking because we\u2019ve shut down our economy.<\/p>\n<p>In just the last two weeks, 10 million people have lost their jobs. Ten million people, based on unemployment filings, people filing for unemployment compensation. Ten million people have lost their jobs. That means 10 million people and counting &#8212; and that\u2019s not enough. That\u2019s not enough for people like Bill Gates. That\u2019s not enough for people who want to shoot down the entire country. They want uniformity. They want every state to be forced to be locked down by the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>The same people who were running around accusing Trump of being a dictator are upset that Trump is not acting in a dictatorial way to satisfy them. Ten million people have lost their ability to feed and take care of their families themselves. And in some cases, to be fed and taken care of. The irony here is that their own government made it illegal for them to work.<\/p>\n<p>Now, folks, don\u2019t misunderstand, look ,I\u2019m not trying to stir anything up here. There\u2019s all kinds of people speculating about things out there. I\u2019m just giving you facts. In fact, there\u2019s a great speculative piece today that I came across in the U.K. Spectator by Dr. John Lee. He\u2019s a pathologist, a statistician, he\u2019s a qualified doctor, and he has written a piece: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectator.co.uk\/article\/The-evidence-on-Covid-19-is-not-as-clear-as-we-think\">&#8220;How Deadly Is The Coronavirus? It\u2019s Still Far From Clear.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got massive speculation going on out there. And this guy\u2019s weighed in with his. And he\u2019s got many points here. One of his primary points is how are we reporting coronavirus deaths? In other words, let\u2019s use the U.K. Since it\u2019s where Dr. Lee is from. Let\u2019s say 50,000 people a day die in the U.K. anyway. There are methods on the books that are a matter of law for how deaths are reported, not just in the U.K., but here. And he\u2019s concerned that with this new arrival of COVID-19, that coronavirus is being listed as a cause of death for many people who are not dying because of it. They\u2019re dying because of other things. But it\u2019s speculation. It\u2019s fascinating. I\u2019ll share some of it with you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectator.co.uk\/article\/The-evidence-on-Covid-19-is-not-as-clear-as-we-think\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-341989\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-SPECTATOR-040220.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-SPECTATOR-040220.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-SPECTATOR-040220-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 640px, 100vw\" \/><\/a>I mean, I could use this as my daily briefing to the nation. In fact, I think I will use this. I\u2019ll use excerpts of this as my daily brief to the nation. I mean, if they can get up there and daily brief from whatever the modelers are saying here, I can use my own guy and daily brief. So that\u2019s what I will do. At some point during the course of the program I will use this piece as my daily brief today. Because it\u2019s got some fascinating points. It\u2019s admittedly speculation, but his point, what if we are recording a bunch of deaths to coronavirus which really should not be chalked up to coronavirus? People die on this planet every day from a wide variety of things. But because the coronavirus is out there, got everybody paranoid, governments are eager, almost, to chalk up as many deaths to coronavirus as they can because then it furthers the policies they have put in place by virtue of their models.<\/p>\n<p>So I don\u2019t know when I\u2019m gonna do it. Depends, everything\u2019s spontaneous on this program, folks. I\u2019m a spontaneous person. I don\u2019t plan very much in advance, in my life at all. It frustrates people I work with. Because I want to leave the option open for something better to come up. Somebody will invite us to dinner two weeks ago away. I\u2019ll wait and tell \u2019em because I might get a better invitation the next day. I\u2019ve got the optimist gene. I\u2019m always holding out for something better. (interruption) Why wouldn\u2019t they believe it? I\u2019m telling them. I\u2019m saying it. I plan as little in advance as I can. The people around me, familia and work associates that it frustrates, are legion. I\u2019ve always been that way.<\/p>\n<p>I plan so little in advance I actually don\u2019t even need a calendar. I don\u2019t need a daybook. Anyway, I don\u2019t mean to get sidetracked here. But I am going to use this as a daily brief when I feel like it\u2019s the right time to do it. (interruption) What? What now? (interruption) You can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying what? What did I say that\u2019s so shocking? (interruption) Well, not every time. I mean, I don\u2019t delay every invitation to dinner. Sometimes the ones I get I actually want to accept. Let me ask, do you want to go to dinner every time somebody asks you to go? I mean, I don\u2019t. Look, it\u2019s working well. I don\u2019t get that many invitations precisely because of this. It\u2019s working well. So I don\u2019t have to deal with it. Anyway, my point is when I feel like getting to my daily brief today, I\u2019ll get to it and I\u2019ll use Dr. Lee\u2019s piece.<\/p>\n<p>So 10 million people have lost their jobs. Ten million people lost the ability to feed, take care of their families. Eighty-eight percent of the country I have seen on lockdown &#8212; and in some places there is a penalty for leaving home, other places there\u2019s not. There are a lot of essential businesses that are still open and operating, and the list, depending on the state you go to, the list is long. You know that in Florida pet care, going to the vet, essential business, that veterinarians stay open. Makes sense. Churches, construction, pharmacy, grocery store, post office.<\/p>\n<p>The post office has to stay open because people have to file taxes on April 15th. Most people don\u2019t, but those&#8230; Get this. Those taxpayers who file quarterly rather than have their taxes withheld every deposit, every pay period &#8212; those who will owe a million dollars or more in federal taxes on April 15th &#8212; must pay it, must file it.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re out in the Caribbean on your boat or not, you must file. If you owe less than a million dollars, you get a postponement, you get a grace period. So they have to keep the post office open. The mail has to be delivered and so forth. You have to be able to send stuff in the mail.<\/p>\n<p>The federal government has made it illegal now for people to go to work in the nonessential areas &#8212; and how did government respond to this? How has government responded to 10 million people losing their jobs, being forced out of their jobs? By giving them $2,000 (plus or minus) as part of a stimulus check. And to sound like a broken record, it\u2019s not sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>It simply is not sustainable. I want to throw a question out. You know, we\u2019re talking about&#8230; We\u2019re trying to take more phone calls than we usually do here. Let me tell you why. There\u2019s really one topic out there (and there are many offshoots to it), and that is the coronavirus and then the related topics to it. For example, politics, the presidential election?<\/p>\n<p>I mean, it\u2019s back burner for the most part. If this were not going on, we\u2019d be talking about Plugs. We\u2019d be talking about Crazy Bernie, the Democrat primaries and so forth. But now we\u2019re just recycling it. Adam Schiff is actually thinking about&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-334070\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012220-Schiff-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012220-Schiff-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012220-Schiff-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>To show you how literally intellectually, politically vacant the Democrat Party is, Adam Schiff of the House Intelligence Committee is literally getting ready to start up impeachment investigations of Trump on coronavirus and his &#8220;delayed reaction&#8221; to it. That\u2019s all they\u2019ve got, which means they\u2019ve got nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Now, a question for those&#8230; If you want to tackle it, you don\u2019t have to. Ten million people are getting unemployment compensation. The number is gonna rise as we continue to shut down. Is any of this, do you think, endangering President Trump\u2019s reelection, or is he going to be able to sail through here because of his captainship of the coronavirus crisis?<\/p>\n<p>Normally, if 10 million people lost their jobs and we turned off a $22 trillion economy, the administration in power at the time that happened would be guaranteed to be swept out of office in a landslide. But there are other factors. The Democrats don\u2019t have anybody right now that can beat Trump, particularly Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t have anybody that can withstand five minutes or 10 minutes on a debate stage with Trump. They don\u2019t have anybody who has anywhere near as commanding a presence. So even if Trump\u2019s support is harmed somewhat by this &#8212; and that\u2019s even arguable. I doubt that it will be much because these are not normal economic times.<\/p>\n<p>So 6.64 million people filed for unemployment. The 10 million figure is arrived at because there were three million last week. The experts predicted another 3.4 million this week. They were wrong. Last week was revised up to 3.3 million. So we\u2019re now at 10 million. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi is plotting ways to cram for leftist garbage into another relief bill.<\/p>\n<p>Something else that I have noticed.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re starting here with some random thoughts, ladies and gentlemen. I noticed yesterday at the briefing and the day before at the briefing&#8230; You know, there\u2019s a story. We had it yesterday. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2020-04-01\/china-concealed-extent-of-virus-outbreak-u-s-intelligence-says\">Bloomberg News<\/a> had this shocking, breaking news story that American intelligence had discovered that the ChiComs had lied about the number of cases of the coronavirus that they had in Wuhan, the number of deaths and how the ChiComs lied.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-342006\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040220-Random-Thoughts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040220-Random-Thoughts.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040220-Random-Thoughts-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 640px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So? This is news? This is breaking news? The intelligence community just figured this out? The ChiComs have been lying about this from the get-go! The Chinese government is built on deceit. Communism is built on deceit. It\u2019s built on not telling the truth. Now, I realize this may be controversial to many of you who\u2019ve grown up&#8230; If you\u2019re young, you haven\u2019t been taught the truth of communism.<\/p>\n<p>You haven\u2019t been taught the truth of capitalism in school. You haven\u2019t been taught the truth about the Great Depression. You haven\u2019t been taught that liberal attempts, socialist attempts to fix the Great Depression are what prolonged it for 10 years. The Great Depression went on years longer than it need have, than it should have because we tried liberalism and socialism to prolong it.<\/p>\n<p>FDR did what Gavin Newsom\u2019s talking about. FDR saw a great opportunity to expand liberalism, expand government, make government the centerpiece of everything and guarantee Democrat Party power for 50 years in the process. Gavin Newsom is openly saying&#8230; You know, people on CNN were very depressed when Gavin Newsom praised Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>You could see Jake Tapper almost peed his pants. Jake Tapper was interviewing Newsom, and Newsom\u2019s praising Trump. &#8220;Yeah, he called every time I want to talk to him. Everything we\u2019ve asked for, he\u2019s given us. We\u2019ve got this ship out here in Los Angeles.&#8221; He praised Trump to the hilt, and Jake Tapper didn\u2019t quite know what to do.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I saw him reaching for a pee cup! Gavin Newsom said, &#8220;This is a great opportunity that we have in California to expand the progressive agenda.&#8221; Of course this is how they\u2019re gonna look at it. Well, progressivism, liberalism, communism, socialism is built on deceit &#8212; and the primary deceit is denying that they are who they are, denying that they are socialists and denying that they are liberals and denying what their real agenda is.<\/p>\n<p>Because it does not have &#8212; and never has had in the United States &#8212; majority support. We are a capitalist country driven by the free flow of oil at market prices. That is the bedrock and foundation &#8212; and private property, of course, and Constitution thrown in. That\u2019s the bedrock foundation of our country. It\u2019s why we are the world\u2019s lone, large superpower. It\u2019s why we\u2019re constantly under attack.<\/p>\n<p>The ChiComs want to replace us, the ChiComs want to cut us down to size, and we\u2019re helping. But the Chinese lying about coronavirus numbers and the intelligence community just gave us breaking news and Bloomberg runs it yesterday? You know what? It\u2019s irrelevant! And yet two days in a row at the briefing, it\u2019s been used as a crutch. It\u2019s been used as a crutch by the people doing the computer models.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-341800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040120-Daily-Brief-COVID-009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040120-Daily-Brief-COVID-009.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040120-Daily-Brief-COVID-009-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 640px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, we would have more data &#8212; we would have had more accurate data &#8212; to input into our models if the Chinese had not lied to us.&#8221; Why was anybody gonna accept what Chinese said in the first place? Other than the American media, who is helping to promulgate Chinese propaganda. (More on that as the program unfolds.) Well, what the Chinese did or didn\u2019t do and how they lied or didn\u2019t lie?<\/p>\n<p>Folks, do you realize how irrelevant that is to the present? Except to people who have to, for some reason, make excuses? And one thing about bureaucrats. The number one job of the bureaucrat is CYA: Cover their rear end. That\u2019s job number one. The only question that ought to be on anybody\u2019s mind is: How do we stop this and how do we reboot our economy?<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter whether the Chinese murdered 800,000 people to get the phony statistics they\u2019re talking about today. It doesn\u2019t matter whether they lied to us three months ago about the status. Because it is what it is now. We can\u2019t go back and erase it. We can\u2019t go back and make the Chinese tell us the truth.<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t, therefore, revise our own behavior and policy from three months ago, two months ago, one month ago because of what the Chinese did or didn\u2019t do. We are dealing with a hard, cold reality today, which is that we have turned off our economy. The focus needs to be on the future, not the past. But bureaucrats are focusing on the past \u2019cause that\u2019s where CYA is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I don&#039;t plan very much in advance, in my life at all.
