RUSH: You know, we did a Morning Update. We did a Morning Update yesterday<\/a> or the day before, might have run today, on the standing joke that the American media, whenever anything bad happens: women and minorities hardest hit. And now that\u2019s kind of changed to illegal immigrants hardest hit. But you know the old joke. God is looking at humanity and says, “You know what? I\u2019ve blown this. This is the biggest mistake I\u2019ve ever made. I\u2019m gonna end the world.”<\/p>\n

So, he calls newspapers to announce he\u2019s gonna end the world. He calls USA Today, calls the New York Times, calls Wall Street Journal. So he calls these newspapers and he says, “Hi, it\u2019s God here. You\u2019ve blown it. I\u2019m ending the world in 24 hours. It\u2019s over.” So New York Times headline: “God Says World to End Tomorrow. Women and Minorities Hardest Hit.” That\u2019s the joke. USA Today headline is: “We\u2019re Done.” Wall Street Journal: “God Says World to End Tomorrow. Markets Will Close Early.” That\u2019s how the joke goes.<\/p>\n

Well, guess what? I\u2019ve been waiting. With the coronavirus, I have been waiting for the racial component, silently, silently awaiting the racial component. And, lo and behold, ladies and gentlemen, we now have the racial component. Washington Post: “The Coronavirus Is Infecting And Killing Black Americans At An Alarmingly High Rate.”<\/a> So now we have a racial component to all of this, which is just gonna confound the reporting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, here\u2019s the summary, and this is the way you\u2019re gonna have to analyze this going forward. The coronavirus now hits African-Americans harder, harder than illegal aliens, harder than women. It hits African-Americans harder than anybody, disproportionate representation. So, now here\u2019s the thing. If you try, if you dare criticize the mobilization to deal with this, you\u2019re gonna be immediately tagged as a racist.<\/p>\n

If you disagree with Fauci, if you disagree with Birx, if you disagree with any of the so-called experts advising us to do whatever, you are gonna be tagged a racist. And this is how they shut people down. This is how they stop criticism. You\u2019ll be a heartless SOB. You\u2019ll be a mean-spirited, extremist, wacko racist. It was bound to happen. I\u2019m surprised that it took so long. Here we go. And let me give you a pull quote here from even our esteemed Surgeon General. His name is Jerome Adams. He\u2019s 45 years old. Here\u2019s the quote from the Washington Post story.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve shared myself personally that I have high blood pressure, that I have heart disease and spent a week in the [intensive care unit] due to a heart condition, that I actually have asthma and I\u2019m prediabetic, and so I represent that legacy of growing up poor and black in America.” He\u2019s the Surgeon General. He\u2019s the Surgeon General. He\u2019s climbed all the way up to Surgeon General of the United States, but he\u2019s now claiming to be unhealthy because of America.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“On Monday, the Lawyers\u2019 Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and hundreds of doctors joined a group of Democratic lawmakers, including Senators” Fauxcahontas, Cory Booker, and Kamala Harris, “in demanding that the federal government release daily race and ethnicity data on coronavirus testing, patients and their health outcomes.”<\/p>\n

See? Gotta prove America\u2019s racist! Gotta prove that the virus, in fact, may be racist. You know, HIV was the first virus to acquire civil rights. You remember that? HIV… For those of you that missed the program yesterday, we\u2019re gonna review the way we dealt with the HIV virus and AIDS back in the eighties compared with the way we\u2019re dealing with it today.<\/p>\n

I did it yesterday. It\u2019s a very teachable moment<\/a>. But HIV\/AIDS was the first virus to have civil rights. It just did, and if you\u2019re confused what I mean by that, I\u2019ll explain it as the program unfolds. But now here\u2019s Fauxcahontas, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris “demanding that the federal government release daily race and ethnicity data on coronavirus testing, patients and their health outcomes.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So they want a database to prove that we are not caring enough about African-Americans, that we\u2019re not worried enough, that we\u2019re not concerned enough, that we\u2019re not treating them enough. This is what they want to be able to document, because the race card has now entered the coronavirus story. “To date, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has only released figures by age and gender.<\/p>\n

“Legislators, civic advocates and medical professionals say the information is needed to ensure that African-Americans and other people of color have equal access to testing and treatment, and also to help to develop a public-health strategy to protect those who are more vulnerable.” Okay, so America is already racist. It\u2019s unfair. It\u2019s denying treatment. It\u2019s denying testing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s denying care. We need to document this! We need to prove this! So, in addition to everything else that you are being forced to digest on this every day, you\u2019re now going to have to accept the fact that your country is inherently racist and mean-spirited and unfair. Because African-Americans are hardest hit, and nobody is going out to test \u2019em. Nobody is going out to treat them and so forth and so on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
