The devastation to individuals\u2019 ability to flourish or even survive may soon become irreversible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You know, yesterday I was here telling you about how this is breaking my heart, that I look at these shut-down businesses and I see your faces. I said, &#8220;To me, it\u2019s personal. I have almost a familial-like bond. I see so many faces of people\u2019s lives that are being destroyed, livelihoods.&#8221; This sentence of hers captures my sentiment exactly: &#8220;The devastation to [people\u2019s] ability to flourish or even survive may soon become irreversible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like there\u2019s this giant disconnect. We have 26 million people who\u2019ve been thrown out of work in two months. We have destroyed two million more jobs &#8212; in two months &#8212; than we have created since 2008, since the 2008 Great Recession. And I have yet to see anybody in government express any similar reaction to mine about this.<\/p>\n<p>And then I ask myself, &#8220;How many people commenting on this &#8212; how many people at the task force, how many people anywhere commenting &#8212; are still getting paid, and are therefore unaffected by this?&#8221; I\u2019ll bet you it\u2019s quite a lot of them are still being paid, or have enough of a cushion because they\u2019ve earned a lot of money in their lives.<\/p>\n<p>And even if they\u2019re not being paid, they don\u2019t face any financial pressure. Because, folks, there does seem to be this huge disconnect, and there doesn\u2019t seem to be&#8230; When we talk about closing down to the middle of May or the end of May, the middle of June, there doesn\u2019t seem to have been any calculation at all on the impact that will make on people.<\/p>\n<p>Other than! Other than! (sniveling) &#8220;We are going to see to it that they don\u2019t get sick,&#8221; as though not getting sick, as though not contracting this virus is the most important thing anybody could do. They have created that impression. They have successfully utilized fear. And, by the way, by &#8220;they,&#8221; I mean the media, people in politics. But it\u2019s this disconnect that bothers me.<\/p>\n<p>If I saw some concern&#8230; (interruption) No, I see it from the president. I know he gets it. But I get the impression that he\u2019s kind of a lone wolf in this task force about this. There just doesn\u2019t seem to be any concern, and not even an attempt to fake it! Some of these people announcing this, some of these governors now, &#8220;Oh, we\u2019re gonna shut down until the middle of June.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t think we\u2019re gonna be opening before the middle of June.&#8221; Really? You have nothing to say to the people whose lives are affected by this other than to really rip into them if they want to get back to work sooner, and try to portray them as the problem in the country? These protesters that want to go to back to work, who want to reopen their businesses?<\/p>\n<p>Somehow, they have become the problem and we\u2019ve gotta find out who\u2019s responsible for these protesters, and guess who it is? It\u2019s me and Fox News. Yep, we\u2019re responsible for this. The people protesting and wanting their livelihoods back are not the problem. The people that want their businesses reopened, the people that want to go back to work in those businesses are not the problem &#8212; and when to represent a threat.<\/p>\n<p>And yet that\u2019s how they are being approached. &#8220;If you leave your house, if you go to the park, if you go to the beach &#8212; if you stand closer than six feet to somebody &#8212; you are the problem.&#8221; Sorry, folks, it doesn\u2019t compute with me &#8212; and at some point, this is gonna boil over, because people are not going to take it. At some point, they\u2019re not gonna just sit there and take this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-346025\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042320-Cuomo-222.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042320-Cuomo-222.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042320-Cuomo-222-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042320-Cuomo-222-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, the Democrats are trying to mitigate this by finding ways to pay a lot of people with government welfare-type payments more money than they were making working. The Democrats think they\u2019ve got a golden opportunity here to rebuild the welfare state. Their belief is&#8230; They have so little faith in people anyway.<\/p>\n<p>They believe the vast majority of people can be bought into permanent welfare if you just pay \u2019em enough. &#8220;Give \u2019em $50,000\/$52,000 a year, and people will happily sit home and not work,&#8221; and so that\u2019s what the Democrat Party political objective is. It\u2019s to come up with enough money &#8212; anywhere, somehow, somewhere &#8212; to essentially pay people to happy stay home instead of working.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how they seek to take advantage of this. I\u2019m telling you that repulses me to no end. To, A, look at people that way, because, B, there are a lot of people who would rather do nothing and be paid for it than to go out, take risks, and work? And to have them taken advantage of and to have that group of people become the foundational building block of a political party?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I have news for you. That happened long time ago. That is the foundational building block of the Democrat Party, the welfare state, the need for a permanent underclass. So the Democrat Party is perfectly fine with the status quo, because they think it\u2019s only gonna hurt Republicans. It\u2019s only gonna hurt Republican politicians.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s only gonna hurt President Trump, \u2019cause it\u2019s gonna destroy the economy &#8212; and the people in power always get the blame when there\u2019s an economic collapse or economic problem at all. I\u2019m gonna tell you this. It\u2019s not gonna be long before 26 million people are gonna get tired of hearing about how many ventilators we got.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t need ventilators. They need income. No, it\u2019s not that they\u2019re not concerned about their fellow man. It\u2019s that they don\u2019t see the proportionate response. Let me share with you some of these questions that Heather Mac Donald has in her piece. Again, the headline: &#8220;The Deadly Costs of Extended Shutdown Orders,&#8221; and the subhead:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The focus on saving &#8216;just one life\u2019 from the coronavirus to the exclusion of [everything else] will prove a catastrophic failure of policymaking. The devastation to [people\u2019s] ability to flourish or even survive may soon become irreversible.&#8221; Now, these questions that she poses here are questions not a single reporter will ever ask any governor.<\/p>\n<p>No governor who is running a state lockdown and is promising to extend the state lockdown would ever answer these questions. No governor can. &#8220;How many coronavirus deaths do you expect to avert by&#8221; extending your shutdown extension? What are you trying to do here? How many people are trying to keep alive? &#8220;How many coronavirus deaths do you expect to avert by the shutdown extension?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How many people do you expect to save by shutting down your state? &#8220;What will your state\u2019s economy look like after another month of&#8221; this? The answer to that is (paraphrased): &#8220;We don\u2019t care! We\u2019re gonna get a bailout or we\u2019re gonna file for bankruptcy. We don\u2019t care.&#8221; Governor, how many workers would have lost their jobs in your state after your extensions? They won\u2019t answer that question.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not&#8230; It obviously isn\u2019t a concern. That\u2019s another thing. It\u2019s not a concern to very many people that 26 million people have lost their jobs. The idea that we can\u2019t do two things at once &#8212; that we cannot have an open, functioning economy &#8212; while fighting off a virus? When did this happen? We\u2019ve never shut down like this before. Not for a pandemic. Not for a virus.<\/p>\n<p>When did it come to pass that the United States can\u2019t continue to go to work while fighting a virus? Governor, how many businesses in your state will have shut down for good after all of your shutdowns and extensions? Governor, &#8220;[h]ow many of your state\u2019s young residents, seeking employment for the first time [in their lives], will be unable to find it?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-346029\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042320-Protest-NY-COVID.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042320-Protest-NY-COVID.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042320-Protest-NY-COVID-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042320-Protest-NY-COVID-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Instead, the announcements of the prolonged shutdown were representative of government decision-making during the coronavirus crisis: opaque, lacking in criteria for measuring success and failure,&#8221; and that\u2019s a big point: They still won\u2019t tell us what shutting down for another month is gonna achieve. Flattening the curve?<\/p>\n<p>What does that achieve?<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the objective?<\/p>\n<p>Why are we doing this?<\/p>\n<p>Can you tell us when you\u2019ll decide whether all of this has succeeded or not? They won\u2019t. Governor, how are you attempting to measure the benefits of all this mitigation? You\u2019ve got one particular health problem: Coronavirus. You\u2019ve got other problems out there that also alter the way people live. So how are you measuring the benefits of social distancing and all that when there are many other things to deal with at the same time?<\/p>\n<p>Governor Cuomo, &#8220;announced on April 15 that New York\u2019s economy would now be shut down through May 15, instead of reopening on April 29&#8230;&#8221; It was April 29, but he said we need to add two weeks. &#8220;How did he arrive at May 15?&#8221; What became magic about May 15? I guarantee you that when we get to May 5, he\u2019s gonna extend it another two weeks because Governor Cuomo thinks you can deal with two-week increments.<\/p>\n<p>But if you were told he\u2019s gonna extend the lockdown \u2019til August, that you would revolt. Cuomo said his &#8220;operating principle&#8221; (as &#8220;I\u2019m governor and you\u2019re not&#8221;) is to &#8220;do no harm,&#8221; (and &#8220;The illness is death.&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number 24. We actually have the &#8220;I\u2019m governor and you\u2019re not&#8221; Andrew Cuomo quote. This is yesterday from the &#8220;I\u2019m governor; you\u2019re not&#8221; press conference. And the infobabe said, &#8220;Protesters outside right now honking their horns, they\u2019re raising signs. These are regular people. They\u2019re not getting a paycheck. Some of them are not getting their unemployment money. And they\u2019re saying they don\u2019t have time to wait for all this testing. They need to get back to work. They have to feed their families. Their savings are running out. They don\u2019t have another week, Governor. They\u2019re not getting answers. So their point is, this cure cannot be worse than the illness itself. What\u2019s your response to that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CUOMO: The illness is death. What is worse than death? You said they said the cure is worse than the illness. The illness is death. How can the cure be worse than the illness if the illness is potential death?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, do you realize how vapid that is? The illness is not death. There\u2019s a 98% recovery rate. That number is out, it hasn\u2019t been refuted. They don\u2019t talk about it \u2019cause it would raise too many questions. The illness isn\u2019t death. He said it twice. You said the cure is worse than the illness. Destroying the U.S. economy, Governor, is worse than the illness. &#8220;No, it\u2019s not. The illness is death.&#8221; Well, it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-345841\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042220-Andrew-Cuomo-CHYRON.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042220-Andrew-Cuomo-CHYRON.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042220-Andrew-Cuomo-CHYRON-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042220-Andrew-Cuomo-CHYRON-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How can the cure be worse than the illness if the illness is -&#8221; and then he modifies it, a potential death? (interruption) No. I think he really believes this. This is what\u2019s dangerous about it. Look. We\u2019re dealing with a lot of people in this who are an order of fries short of a Happy Meal, folks. We\u2019re dealing with people whose elevators never make it anywhere near the top floor. This is an example.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Dave in Sarasota, Florida. Save, glad you waited. You\u2019re up next. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush. First-time caller. Thanks for having me. You\u2019re like a beacon of hope in an ever growing sea of despair that we feel right now.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you, sir. I hope that\u2019s true, hope it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh, gosh. I mean, I just love listening to you because I feel exactly like you do. I\u2019m absolutely &#8212; you know, the country is going insane. I mean, you know, we have 30 to 60,000 flu deaths per year, and that\u2019s with a vaccine, mind you. So why don\u2019t we just close the country down like we\u2019re currently doing now, we could probably cut that down to probably 1,500 a year, you know, and just live like we are right now with &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think we\u2019ve got the answer to this. They say it\u2019s not the flu. You can\u2019t compare it to the flu. And we say, why not? Well, because the flu has vaccines. The American people have psychologically accepted 30 to 60,000 people. Well, what about the 800,000 hospitalizations with the flu? The American people have accepted it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, we\u2019ve accepted all that, exactly, exactly.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, but but but but but but but but.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. I mean, the problem is in this country is growing, growing, growing. What we do is we cater to the one-fifth of 1% in this country. That\u2019s what we do.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, all of that, but but but but but but but. And now I\u2019m out of time. The difference is we\u2019re being treated like nobody survives this virus. If you get it, you\u2019re dead. That\u2019s what they have conveyed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, do you realize how vapid that is?
