“Trump Says He\u2019d Like Economy To Reopen ‘With A Big Bang\u2019 But Acknowledges It May Be Limited.”<\/a> Now, this a story from The Hill yesterday. “President Trump said Tuesday night he\u2019d like to see the entire U.S. economy reopen with a “big bang,” but acknowledged it will be difficult to manage as certain parts of the country grapple with outbreaks.”<\/p>\nI\u2019m looking the audio sound bite roster just to see what I\u2019ve got here. Yeah. Okay. He was on with Hannity last night, said, “I\u2019d love to open with a big bang, one beautiful country and just open. We\u2019re looking at two concepts. We\u2019re looking at the concept where you open up sections and we\u2019re also looking at the concept where you open up everything.”<\/p>\n
And then it says here, “The decision will largely be out of Trump\u2019s hands. Governors nationwide will determine when restrictions in their states that have shuttered nonessential businesses and banned gatherings of more than a few people will be lifted.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the ChiComs have lifted and ended the 10-week lockdown of Wuhan. But you have to show that you\u2019re healthy. You have to show you haven\u2019t been in contact with anybody who has the virus if you want to leave Wuhan. They ought not be allowing anybody to leave Wuhan. And once you do leave Wuhan, your new destination may require to you self-quarantine for 14 days and be tested twice.<\/p>\n
Well, guess what? When the ChiComs lifted the 10-week lockdown of Wuhan, 65,000 people fled the scene. Where did they go? We don\u2019t know where they went. They left the city by train, left the city by plane, highways, bridges, tunnels also opened allowing thousands more to exit by car and bus. Meanwhile, Norway, Denmark, the Czech Republic, and Austria are gonna relax coronavirus lockdown restrictions in the coming days.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040220-Daily-Brief-COVID-13.jpg\")
For instance, the schools are set to reopen in Denmark on April 15th, a week from today. Norway will do so five days later. Even Austria, which shares a border with Italy, is gonna reopen on April 14th, and the Czech Republic is looking to reopen more stores starting this Thursday. Even Italy is lifting some of its restrictions. Some Italian businesses could reopen in mid-April, according to Bloomberg News.<\/p>\n
Let me get some phone calls in before the break in the first hour. We\u2019ll start with Ken in Portland, Oregon. You know, Oregon is a fascinating place because the virus, compared to elsewhere in the country, is not even there, statistically. Hi, Ken. Great to have you with us. How you doing?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush. Great to be able to talk with you today. In Oregon, of the 765 people that have tested positive for COVID-19 under the age of 60, only one person has died. After this current safe distancing phase is complete on May 1st, why can\u2019t we shift to a policy in which the stay-at-home approach is lifted for everyone except those that self-identify as having underlying conditions?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, you know, if I had to wild-guess answer I would say that no state wants to be alone and first.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Understood. I just think, you know, we\u2019re already quarantining ourselves, we\u2019re sensitive to our parents, people that are having underlying conditions, we\u2019re already doing it. I think that would continue and we could still open up the economy because young people recover so easily from it. And I think even if we continue forward with our current restrictions, we\u2019re still gonna be self-quarantining anyways. So why not open it up, still being sensitive to those with underlying conditions, and they\u2019ll be self-quarantined, we\u2019ll be very careful about how we approach them. I\u2019m just thinking it\u2019s too complicated. They\u2019re making it too complicated.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, you mentioned self-quarantining. You think people are still gonna be doing that? I want you to listen to something with me here, Ken. Grab audio sound bite number 23. We have here a sound bite from just this afternoon from CNN. John King speaking with Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Infectious Disease, Epidemiology Professor…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040820-Rush-Dittocam-6.jpg\")
What a title. Let me run that by you again. Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Infectious Disease, Epidemiology Professor Emily Gurley about the coronavirus epidemic and reopening the economy, and this is what John King of CNN said…<\/p>\n
KING: We asked this question in our new poll: “Would you feel comfortable returning to routine if social distancing ends at the end of the month, on April 30th?” Thirty-seven percent of Americans said, yes. They would feel comfortable. Six in 10 Americans said, no! They would not feel comfortable! The president himself, ambitiously saying we need to get the country open as soon as possible. You think that would be a tragic mistake?<\/p>\n
GURLEY: I think we have to go with what the evidence says. Until we have something better in place nationally to track infections and stop the spread, we\u2019ve gotta stick with what works even though it\u2019s a huge sacrifice.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Did you hear this? In their poll, 60% don\u2019t feel comfortable reopening on April 30th. So even if things were opened in certain places, like you say, people arestill gonna self-quarantine. Sixty percent, according to CNN, don\u2019t feel comfortable reopening on April 30th. Would you go out, if they lift things? What would you do, Ken?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I would go out. I\u2019d be… I\u2019d still practice safe distancing. I\u2019d be careful about being in too packed of a crowd, but I would continue on. And I\u2019m really more concerned about the economy and all the people that are being impacted by the economy. I —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Have…? Let me ask you. You know, this babe here, Emily Gurley… It took me two lines to read the title. None of these people seem concerned about the economy, which is people and their livelihoods. The empathy for that doesn\u2019t seem… I know they\u2019ve got one job and that\u2019s their health expertise and so forth. But it just continues to frustrate me.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Rush, thanks a lot for bringing up this aspect of the equation, the economy and all the people that are being impacted. Thanks for leading that discussion.<\/p>\n
RUSH: People are being ruined!<\/p>\n
CALLER: I know it.<\/p>\n
RUSH: People are being destroyed. People are being ruined.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: We are today totally dependent on the government for money and loans.<\/p>\n
In a political sense — Mr. Snerdley, I know you\u2019re gonna be crying about this — the idea of the GOP and even conservatism being linked and aligned with small government is gone — bye-bye — and it\u2019s gone for our lifetimes. You understand this? The concern for spending? Bye-bye, \u2019cause it\u2019s the only way to survive now. Money we don\u2019t have being printed is the only way people can survive because otherwise they are being wiped out.<\/p>\n
You know me. Folks, you are the people that make this country work. You are the people who get up every day, go to work, do what you do to do and create $22 trillion economy — once the government gets obstacles out of your way, like happened in the past three years. You know, during the Obama years — I\u2019m not kidding you; you may have forgotten — the decline in economic growth was planned for and hoped for as part of moving the United States into this globalist community.<\/p>\n
So economic growth of 1% every year was it. We were told, “That\u2019s it.” We were told, “America\u2019s best days are behind us now,” and some of those best days we didn\u2019t even actually deserve because we had been mean people. We had stolen resources from other nations. “So now it\u2019s time to pay the piper.” Obama and his economic team were talking about how we need experts now to manage the decline. “We need to lower our expectations.”<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040820-Covid-Trump-5.jpg\")
The presidential campaign of 2016 comes up and Trump goes out to Ohio. “I\u2019m gonna bring your jobs back. I\u2019m gonna bring your jobs back from China.” Obama goes (impression), “What\u2019s he gonna do? Wave a magic wand? What\u2019s he gonna do? You can\u2019t bring those jobs back. Those jobs are not come back!” Obama went out talked to people, “Your jobs are not coming back.”<\/p>\n
They did come back, as well as whole lot of other things came back, in three years; it\u2019s all gone! The people of this country created a $22 trillion economy. The government\u2019s about 19% of that, 19 to 22% of GDP, government spending. The rest of it is you — and that\u2019s gone now. There\u2019s no way the government can create, recreate economic prosperity of a $22 trillion economy by printing money and giving it away, or loaning it out.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just not possible. So, Mr. Snerdley, how long do you think this is gonna go on? (interruption) There\u2019s no wrong answer because I\u2019m not gonna hold you to it. I just want to know: How long do you think the current set of circumstances with the social distancing and you better stay home and you can\u2019t go to work and only essential businesses, whatever… (interruption) Another month.<\/p>\n
Dawn, what about you? How long do you think it\u2019s gonna go on? (interruption) May. That\u2019d be another month. Brian, are you even thinking about it? (interruption) Think it come back in May? (interruption) All right. Fine. Let take a brief… No, I got time to squeeze a call in here before we go to go to the break. Scott in Greenville, South Carolina. Glad you waited. It\u2019s great to have you with us. How are you?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Rush, you may not feel great, but you sound fantastic.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Listen, our governor gave us his latest mandate yesterday to go to work and stay at home, and during the press conference said the reason for this is because the numbers bear it out, and —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I misunderstood that. Your governor gave you a mandate to go to work and stay at home?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, go to work, and then stay home. Don\u2019t go anywhere else.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh. You can go to work but then —<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n
RUSH: — you gotta go right back home?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n
RUSH: So you can\u2019t go to the gym. You can\u2019t —<\/p>\n
CALLER: No.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right. Okay.<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, they closed the gyms down weeks ago. So he says the numbers bear it out. Well, there\u2019s been 2,400 cases in South Carolina and 51 deaths. That\u2019s 0.0215%.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: If they did their own math, the numbers have been going down.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: At the same time, they say we think 16,000 to upwards of 40,000 people are infected in the state.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, do the math. Let\u2019s just use 16,000; that\u2019s 0.003. I mean, the numbers are getting better, not worse.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, but if 40,000 are infected, how many of \u2019em know it? How many don\u2019t know it, are spreading it, are asymptomatic?<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040720-Covid-0092.jpg\")
CALLER: Maybe they don\u2019t, and it\u2019s been going on for a while. But to date we have 51 deaths. So let\u2019s just assume that there are that many more people infected; then the death rate number is going down, not up.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, that be true, yeah, if you got that many people who have it — 40,000 — and the death toll is 51.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, and of the 51, a very large majority of them were elderly with other conditions.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yes. Exactly. It\u2019s the way it is everywhere.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Let\u2019s look at the numbers. They don\u2019t bear out. The numbers are getting better, not worse. But they just keep hyping it up and terrifying people. And so now this is the latest mandate. Not sure what the next one will be. This one was supposed to last through the 15th, and then he\u2019ll start over again \u2019cause they\u2019re good for 15 days. But, you know, I just thought you\u2019d find it interesting if you look at these numbers, you know, they play out in almost every scenario, you know, except for maybe in the worst-case areas like Italy or, you know, you know —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Italy\u2019s getting ready to reopen some things. The Czech Republic, Austria, they\u2019re all getting ready to reopen. Norway.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Listen, we\u2019d be better off if we would just get back to business as usual. Yes, more people will be infected, but we\u2019re gonna find that when the dust settles, that the mortality rate is gonna be way below 1%.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah. You know what? I remember the first day. I was gone when a lot of this first happened. The first day I was back here, it was a rough day. It got better as the hours went on. First hour was rough. Second hour got better. Third hour got better. I remember focusing on the models, comparing them to the climate change models and expressing grave concern that everything we\u2019re doing here is based on a bunch of models.<\/p>\n
Folks, do you realize there isn\u2019t any hard evidence of man-made climate change to this date? Everything we\u2019ve done about that is based on computer models and predictions for 20 years down the road, 30 years, and they\u2019ve been making 20-year predictions since the 1980s. None of it\u2019s come true yet. It\u2019s been totally politicized. So if that has become the standard for modeling, oh, no, we\u2019re using modeling for this.<\/p>\n
And then I said, what I expect the big debate is going to be when this is over, whenever it is, is we\u2019re gonna ask ourselves, was any of this necessary? Was this shutdown necessary? Did we punish ourselves like this for no reason? And the doomsayers are out there, and they never lose. And I don\u2019t mean it\u2019s a conspiracy. The doomsayers come out and they warn you, “2.2 million deaths.” That\u2019s doom, right? And then we come in at 60,000. Doomsayers, “See, we saved you. We told you to not see anybody. We told you to stay at home, social distancing. We saved you.”<\/p>\n
No, you scared the hell out of everybody unnecessarily. The doomsayers never win. The people like me, the mayor of Realville who try to interject literal reality, we are called cold-hearted, insensitive, not paying attention, all that. It\u2019s the exact opposite. But we\u2019re gonna have a debate over whether this was necessary. I don\u2019t know when it\u2019s gonna happen, and I can tell you how that debate\u2019s gonna go, because everybody involved in this shutdown is never gonna say they made a mistake, from the White House on down. So we already know what the outcome of that debate\u2019s gonna be. But it\u2019s gonna be a debate that will happen at think tanks and places like this. Oops. I see the clock. Got to take a break. Thank you Scott, very much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
