<\/p>\nRUSH: Now, of the 14,800 coronavirus deaths that are being reported, some of those may not be coronavirus deaths. Remember what scarf queen told us yesterday, day before, Dr. Birx. She said that they\u2019re chalking up every death they can to COVID-19. If somebody dies from pneumonia but has — remember, if you die with COVID-19, you\u2019re gonna be chalked up as dying because of COVID-19. If you have renal failure, kidneys fail, and at the same time you have COVID-19, they\u2019re not gonna say you died of kidney failure, they\u2019re gonna say you died of COVID-19. So it could well be that some of these deaths being attributed to COVID-19 are not.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, 6.6 million new Americans filed unemployment claims. So what are we up to now? We\u2019re up to 10 million? I\u2019ve lost track of the number. We\u2019re getting to the point now where we have more people out of work with no end in sight than people who have died, reportedly, from coronavirus. Some may not like that comparison.<\/p>\n
The only point I\u2019m making here, folks, is that everything that we have been told that frightened us into paralysis has turned out to be way overshot. And, to me, that matters. It matters that they get away with being so damn wrong consistently. And when they\u2019re wrong, they are allowed to dictate our behavior.<\/p>\n
When I gave you the number of coronavirus deaths said to be 14,800, I don\u2019t know how many of you were stunned that it\u2019s that low based on all the numbers you\u2019ve been hearing and the fact that this week and next week, “Oh, it\u2019s gonna be bad, Mr. Limbaugh. It\u2019s gonna be the apocalypse. It\u2019s gonna be Armageddon. It\u2019s gonna be the seasonal locusts.”<\/p>\n
And they get away with it. And they dictate behavior and they\u2019re able to condemn the behavior they don\u2019t like, and they haven\u2019t been right about anything yet. And then they keep sitting there praising us for listening to them. “You\u2019re doing the right thing. Keep doing it. Keep fighting. Keep being stationary at home.” Yeah, right on, dude.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Here is Rochelle in Columbus, Ohio, as we go back to the phones. I really appreciate your patience. Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, no. No. Rush, I appreciate you taking my call. Thank you so much and thank you for all you do. The reason I\u2019m calling today is I\u2019m in the great state of Ohio, and every day our wonderful DeWine gets on with his press conferences and he talks about how we\u2019re doing a great job flattening the curve. And that is wonderful, and we appreciate that. But the thing to which he and Dr. Acton keep attributing the success is social distancing. And I\u2019m getting grumpy because I\u2019m like, okay, he completely overlooks the fact that doctors —<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s not gonna change.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, no. He overlooks the fact that in Ohio our doctors are already using the hydroxychloroquine. They even got busted —<\/p>\n
RUSH: “Anecdotal!”<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, I know, I know.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (chuckling)<\/p>\n
CALLER: Okay, but the doctors here are using it and so that\u2019s I\u2019m like why does he completely —<\/p>\n
RUSH: “Untested! Unproven! Untried! Dr. Fauci doesn\u2019t approve!”<\/p>\n
CALLER: Okay. (groans) So, anyway…<\/p>\n
RUSH: (chuckling)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, so my second point. You are so astute to point out in New York what happened with that graph that Cuomo put up, useless Cuomo.<\/p>\n
RUSH: The hospitalizations, yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. Yeah. I think what\u2019s going on there partially is (crosstalk).<\/p>\n
RUSH: And the ventilators! They didn\u2019t need any other near 30,000, 40,000 ventilators.<\/p>\n
CALLER: There you go. And I think it\u2019s because some of those doctors up there they\u2019re finally allowed to use the hydroxychloroquine, they saw what happened with that Russian doctor. He kept 699 off of ventilators, because he started early. He treated them early, and so when I think is happening is a lot of those doctors might be looking at that, treating the patients early, keeping them out of even going to the hospital.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Let me give you another anecdotal story on hydroxychloroquine. Do you watch Fox News much? Do you know that one of their official medical doctor reporters is a guy named Marc Siegel?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, his dad is 96 years old. His dad, 96, came down to COVID-19.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Wow.<\/p>\n
RUSH: His dad was in dire straits. Somehow Dr. Siegel got hydroxychloroquine to him, and he was up and running in a couple\/three days.<\/p>\n
CALLER: There you go!<\/p>\n
RUSH: He\u2019s 96!<\/p>\n
CALLER: Awww.<\/p>\n
RUSH: “Anecdotal! Dr. Fauci doesn\u2019t approve. Anecdotal! Not medically tested.”<\/p>\n
CALLER: Ohhhh.<\/p>\n
RUSH: What do you mean not medically tested? The stuff has been on the market since the fifties!<\/p>\n
CALLER: There you go — and you know what? Rheumatologist do not even require a baseline EKG before they prescribe it, and they\u2019ve been prescribing it for decades.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: People say, “Oh, it\u2019s not safe.” You know what, it may not for every single patient but that\u2019s why there\u2019s a doctor-patient relationship. You know what I\u2019m saying?<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040320-chloroquine.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, I know exactly what you\u2019re saying. But I\u2019m just telling you this: Social distancing is gospel. Social distancing is what every elected official is going to do, even in California where it cannot be — it cannot be — that California\u2019s comparative success has anything to do with social distancing. They only got a two-day head start on New York.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re telling me that a two-day head start is the difference in the death toll in California, New York? It cannot possibly be. But since the health experts are 1,000% invested in social distancing… Watch the briefing! When either of the two doctors — when the scarf queen, when Fauci — get up there, that\u2019s all they talk about. They are crediting you.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re trying to make you feel like you\u2019re making all the difference because you have listened to them. You have practiced what they have said. You have worked hard. You have stayed home. You have socially distanced. You have mitigated — and they\u2019re not gonna give this up. If there\u2019s anything that comes along that explains whatever success is had with this, it\u2019s not gonna be allowed to push social distancing aside.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s their story, and they are going to stick to it. The reason they\u2019re gonna stick to it is because it makes them all-powerful. They sitting up there, they came up with the plan, they commanded you to follow the plan, they commanded the economy be shut down so that everybody could follow the plan — and then the death toll started going way down.<\/p>\n
The numbers that they warned us about never were right, haven\u2019t been right yet. They\u2019re never hold to account for that. Instead, they get to credit you — in the process of crediting themselves — with social distancing. Now, don\u2019t misunderstand. It only makes sense. When you run into anybody that has a cold, you try to stay away from \u2019em.<\/p>\n
If somebody in your presence has a cold and sneezes, what do you do? You curse \u2019em out and you run away. If you know somebody\u2019s got the flu somewhere, you don\u2019t go see them. We instinctively know to socially distance. We instinctively do this, when we know that somebody\u2019s contagious with something. They\u2019re coming along and acting like they\u2019ve created some brand-new thing.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040920-Social-Distancing.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
But what it is, is actually a command from top government — and you have been credited for following it. You are being credited for knowing you don\u2019t know beans. You\u2019re being credited for believing the experts. You\u2019re being credited for following orders from your government. What does that set up? What does that condition people for?<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why they\u2019re not gonna let go of social distancing. That\u2019s why they\u2019re fighting hydroxychloroquine. That\u2019s why they\u2019re fighting anything. Except they\u2019re trying… Fauci is apparently trying to make sure Bill Gates gets the rights to the vaccine — and of course , ou throw the media in on this.<\/p>\n
The media will do anything to help these people because it\u2019s all these people against Trump. Ladies and gentlemen, a couple of economic points: 6.6 million people — thank you for the call, I appreciate it — 6.6 million people file for unemployment. We\u2019re up now to over 13 million at my count — 13 million. Oh, that\u2019s true!<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t forget the reason we shut down the country was to keep the hospitals from being overwhelmed. Remember? We were told we had to flatten the curve. We were told we had to stay home. We gotta make sure the hospitals can handle the genuinely sick — and the hospitals don\u2019t seem to be overwhelmed.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040920-Cuomo.jpg\")
Even Governor Cuomo\u2019s chart… Put it up there again, Brian. Do the switcheroo here. Even Governor Cuomo\u2019s own chart today shows the hospitalizations in New York. Look at that trend down. Look at the yellow little bar the far right, tiny, almost as tiny as Day 1 back there on the far left. So 13 million people are now out of work. The airlines…<\/p>\n
You know, everybody talks about restaurants, and restaurants are small businesses, and they are going to have it tough coming back. But can you imagine airlines? They\u2019re flying right now at 4% to 6% occupancy. Nobody can do that. Now you open it up. You think people are gonna get on airplanes?<\/p>\n
You know, airplanes already suffer from a bad reputation that if there\u2019s one person with any kind of a virus on an airplane that everybody\u2019s gonna get it because of the air circulation system, the air pressurization system on aircraft. So I\u2019ll bet you that when the airlines get up and running, masks will be mandatory. Maybe every seat will come with a hazmat head bubble, with an oxygen hose from the overhead compartment.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m joking. But you know, it\u2019s gonna be tough to get people back on airplanes. Because of the preexisting condition that everybody thinks airline planes spread disease anyway. So 13 million people applying for unemployment — massive, massive, massive unemployment. We did it to ourselves.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Attorney General William Barr was on Fox last night. He says he cannot believe these Draconian coronavirus restrictions and they need to be reevaluated. He says can\u2019t believe the jihad against hydroxychloroquine. Well, that\u2019s easy to explain. Nothing\u2019s gonna be allowed to shove aside social distancing mitigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
