RUSH: Let\u2019s go back to phones. Let\u2019s go grab Paul in Maple Grove, Minnesota. Paul, thank you so much for waiting for the top of the hour. I\u2019m glad you accepted the complimentary subscription to Rush 24\/7<\/a>. Now you have an open highway to make your point. What is it that you called to tell us?<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Well, everybody agrees that there was a cover-up by the Chinese government — and during that cover-up, they blocked travel in and out of Wuhan to the rest of China. But they did not block it in and out of Wuhan to the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Isn\u2019t it…? Paul is right. Isn\u2019t it interesting so few cases in Beijing, so few cases in Shanghai, so few cases in Shenzhen or Guangzhou?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I mean, that was intentional. That makes it biowarfare. Look what they did to Italy and then from Italy to the rest of Europe.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, now. I want you to back some of this. How did they…? No wrong answer. I just want to know what you think here. How did they do it to Italy?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, there is a huge Chinese presence in Italy. They own (chuckling) much of the country now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know, they own a lot of the professional soccer league or leagues, however you care to say it, in Italy.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, and there are a lot of Chinese people in traveling in and out of Italy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And the story is that New York got the virus from Europe. Well, if they got it from Europe, a good part of Europe got it from Italy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, that bears repeating because he\u2019s right about that. The majority of New York cases came from Europe, not from China.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So, you know, my point is that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re calling it a bioweapon because they did this on purpose?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Because it was intentional.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Because they intentionally shut down travel within their country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, but let me ask you this. I understand your logic and your thinking, but I need to get your thoughts on this. Did they go into the lab to try to create a weapon, to try to turn a virus into a weapon — a biological weapon — for the purposes of mass extermination? Do you believe they did that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t know. You know, the jury\u2019s still out on that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, when you talk about weaponizing or bioweapon, that\u2019s what most people are gonna think. Now, your definition is okay, they knew what they had, they saw it, they saw it wreck Wuhan, and then they purposely let it spread, not to their own cities, but around the world, and they purposely let that happen, and they\u2019re weaponizing it. That\u2019s your logic, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Doesn\u2019t that follow?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. See, this is another taboo. I have found this out myself. You can\u2019t use the word — the Democrat media purposely goes out of its way to misunderstand, misinterpret, misreport my use of the word “weaponize.” I accused them, for example, of weaponizing the whistleblower in Ukraine story as a means of getting rid of Trump. So my point is their coverage of any given story is a weapon designed to destroy the Trump presidency and Trump the man.<\/p>\n

So when I talk about the media weaponizing something, they immediately think that I\u2019m accusing the Chinese of going into the lab and creating a weapon out of a virus, then they report that and then say, “He\u2019s a kook, Limbaugh\u2019s a kook, Limbaugh\u2019s a conspiracy theorist.” And this is how they get people to shut up. This is how they get people to suppress their own thinking. Even when I never said anything of the sort.<\/p>\n

But whatever you think, Paul here has a point. They let the virus out knowing what it was. They\u2019d seen it. They had seen how it ravaged Wuhan. By the way, have any of you now seen the video that I have referenced two or three times of Xi Jinping walking through the streets of Wuhan waving up at people in their homes, as though he\u2019s an elected leader and he\u2019s out amongst the people, showing that he\u2019s just one of them and he\u2019s wearing a blue mask? Have you seen it? ‘Cause it runs rather frequently.<\/p>\n
