<\/p>\nRUSH: I just was told that the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing was moved back to 1:30. It was supposed to have started at 1 o\u2019clock. They normally run 5 to 5:30 for a couple of hours, but because this is the Easter weekend, they are gonna run this thing earlier, and I\u2019m looking forward to it. We\u2019re gonna JIP it.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re gonna join it in progress. We\u2019re gonna carry it. And I will provide online, current commentary. Now, the president is saying he\u2019s getting a lot of pressure from his Wall Street friends to open the economy. If you listen to these briefings carefully as I do — you know, I\u2019m one of the best listeners out there.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
People think all I do is yap and yap and talk, but I keep my mouth shut. In the course of the waking day, my mouth is closed much more than it\u2019s open, speaking. I listen. I absorb. That\u2019s how you learn. And I\u2019m telling you that Trump has set the stage daily for a couple of weeks now, even longer before that.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s setting the stage for opening this up. He\u2019s telegraphing it to these people who don\u2019t want it opened up, and the day is going to come where he makes it clear that he\u2019s the boss here, that the virus is not the boss. Dr. Fauci is out saying, “The virus will tell us when we can reopen.” No, it won\u2019t, because the virus doesn\u2019t speak.<\/p>\n
The president, in association with the governors, will tell us when we\u2019re gonna reopen. And I\u2019m telling you, this comment today that he\u2019s getting (I don\u2019t recall the exact word) pressure or whatever from his Wall Street friends? It just means that we\u2019re headed in that direction. As I said, I think we could open some parts of the country this weekend. The president initially had Easter weekend as his perfect opening.<\/p>\n
It\u2019d be a beautiful opening. It\u2019d be the best opening of an economy there\u2019s ever been he said. Easter, perfect timing. That was an objective said that was aspirational, something he aspired to doing. Of course, the virus said, “No. I\u2019m not gonna let you open up on Easter.” The virus is not religious, of course.<\/p>\n
So the doctor said, “We\u2019re not gonna open up on Easter.” But I\u2019m telling you, Trump has the hammer. He\u2019ll drop it when he thinks it is necessary.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Jimmy in Jacksonville, Florida, great to have you, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you so much, Rush. I am always comforted by when you say, “Folks, it\u2019s not time to panic yet. I will tell you when it\u2019s time to panic.” I haven\u2019t heard you say that once during this crisis, and that is huge. Am I right about that? And are you holding back on us?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Nope. I\u2019m not holding back on you. It\u2019s not time to panic yet because of who is in the White House. I know what the guy in the White House wants to happen, wants to make happen, and I know that he\u2019s going to bring that off. It\u2019s also not time to panic because I don\u2019t sense the American people have given up. I don\u2019t sense the American people have thrown up their hands and said, “Okay, this is it, country\u2019s finished, gotta make do with what it is.” That\u2019s not the attitude of most people.<\/p>\n
Most people are, in addition to being scared, which, believe me, makes entire common sense, most people are starting to get antsy and they\u2019re starting to get curious, and enough of them are chomping at the bit to get going that I think the reopening or revitalization is going to be sufficiently good. I just believe that the forces of good here are going to triumph. I don\u2019t believe this is the defeat of the United States. If I thought that I\u2019d tell you it\u2019s time to panic. But I don\u2019t believe panic is productive anyway, which is why my whole on air attitude here has been trying to quell that since I\u2019ve had chance to be on the air during this crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
