And, you know, it\u2019s fascinating what is happening in Georgia. You know, Governor Kemp is not mandating anybody do anything. If you own a nail salon or a tattoo parlor, you don\u2019t have to open up.

I am glad to have you out there.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I just wanted to call just to thank you. People like you and Hannity and the Fox News people &#8212; but more so you and Sean &#8212; just being the truth and being there for the American people and knowing that we can get un-BS news from you all and just, you know, we can see where the country\u2019s going.<\/p>\n<p>I applaud you for backing Governor Kemp with what he\u2019s doing, and helping us to get our country back on track. I mean, this is fault of no one but we\u2019re all in this together. And, like I said, without people like you, who knows what stories we would be getting and what we would actually be believing. So, I thank you for that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I appreciate that call. I appreciate your awareness. I\u2019m glad that you see it that way. (sigh) I\u2019ve spoken about conformity and conventional wisdom a lot. But what really interests me, confuses me &#8212; whatever the word is &#8212; is the lack of curiosity on the part of the media.

The media was&#8230; There was a phrase, &#8220;speaking truth to power.&#8221; The media considered this their job. This is how they\u2019re taught in journalism school, that they are to hold powerful people accountable. Those days are gone, and they are now part of the cabal.<\/p>\n<p>They see themselves as the powerful people.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re in the club.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re in the group.<\/p>\n<p>So there isn\u2019t one! In the mainstream media, there isn\u2019t one diversion from the party line. There isn\u2019t one challenging, there is not one question, there isn\u2019t one shred of doubt. Multiply however many people in journalism with whatever government agency\u2019s saying whatever they\u2019re saying.<\/p>\n<p>The intel community and Trump-Russia collusion. Not one, not one reporter is asking, &#8220;Wait a minute, is all this really necessary?&#8221; They\u2019re just falling right in line &#8212; and then if you happen to question it as I do?<\/p>\n<p>Well, then they come after you for not conforming, for not following the party line &#8212; and accuse you of killing people, being irresponsible and so forth.

Who wants to see this happen in the first place?<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know what\u2019s gradually occurring to me here, folks? It is this. The more we know, the more we are learning, the less we have to fear. We\u2019re learning that there may be many more people infected than we knew in California and in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Cuomo let the cat out of the bag on that one big yesterday.

Republican governor in Oklahoma, Kevin Stitt, announced certain nonessential businesses will be allowed to open today, starting today, in an effort to restart the economy in Oklahoma. Governor Stitt explained at a Wednesday press conference the state\u2019s three phase plan to reopen the economy, which is based on coronavirus testing and tracing.<\/p>\n<p>The first stage of Oklahoma\u2019s plan allows for personal care businesses to reopen starting today, for appointments only, while following strict sanitation protocols. The stores included under the plan include hair salons, include barbershops, include spas and nail salons and pet groomers. These guidelines are only applicable in communities that do not have more restrictions in place.<\/p>\n<p>Well, wait a minute. Why is Brian Kemp being beat up and the governor of Oklahoma isn\u2019t? Well, one of the answers is Oklahoma is in flyover country. Drive-By Media doesn\u2019t know how to get there. But there\u2019s also Colorado. Colorado is gonna have a phased reopening, and they are getting a total pass.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/spectator.org\/reopening-georgia-and-colorado-a-study-in-double-standards\/\">David Catron writing in the American Spectator<\/a>, &#8220;When President Trump first unveiled his three-phase strategy for lifting the job-killing stay-at-home orders imposed by most states &#8230; among the first to embrace the guidelines were Govs. Brian Kemp of Georgia and Jared Polis of Colorado.&#8221; Now, he may pronounce it Polis. I have not ever heard his name pronounced so I don\u2019t know how it\u2019s pronounced. And I goofed up. I didn\u2019t look it up so I\u2019m just guessing. I pronounced it both ways.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/spectator.org\/reopening-georgia-and-colorado-a-study-in-double-standards\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-346259\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-American-Spectator-TEARAWAY-042420.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-American-Spectator-TEARAWAY-042420.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-American-Spectator-TEARAWAY-042420-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-American-Spectator-TEARAWAY-042420-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>&#8220;Moreover, their reopening plans were quite similar. Both, for example, will permit hair salons, tattoo parlors, and other personal services to resume operation. Yet the reception by the legacy media and various &#8216;experts\u2019 has been dramatically different. While the Polis plan has excited little comment,&#8221; nobody\u2019s even talking about it, poor old Brian Kemp is being denounced by everybody from the president on down. Hell, even the snail darters, if they could talk, would be denouncing Brian Kemp.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s been denounced by the media. He\u2019s been denounced by public health advisers. He\u2019s been denounced by Dr. Fauci. He\u2019s been denounced by everybody, practically, on the White House Coronavirus Task Force.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Upon being advised that Gov. Kemp had decided to begin reopening businesses in his state, President Trump was supportive: &#8216;He\u2019s a very capable man. He knows what he\u2019s doing. He\u2019s done a very good job as governor.'&#8221; But then came Dr. Fauci and other members of the Coronavirus Task Force, and he refused to publicly endorse Governor Kemp\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n<p>CNN reported: &#8220;They then asked Dr. Deborah Birx, the panel\u2019s coordinator, to try to convince Trump to oppose Kemp\u2019s move. She had a private meeting with the president just prior to the news conference and successfully convinced him to denounce Kemp\u2019s decision.&#8221; This is a CNN story, so take it however you will.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;According to the report, Trump called the governor and asked him to delay the reopening. Kemp refused: I discussed Georgia\u2019s plan to reopen shuttered businesses for limited operations with @POTUS&#8230;. Our next measured step is driven by data and guided by state public health officials.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not acting rogue here. He\u2019s got data from state public health officials and economists. He said, Governor Kemp said, &#8220;We will continue with this approach to protect the lives &#8212; and livelihoods &#8212; of all Georgians&#8230; I am confident that business owners who decide to reopen will adhere to Minimum Basic Operations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nobody is being demanded or required to open, and no customers are being told they\u2019ve gotta patronize these places. But here\u2019s the question. Why in the world is the governor of Colorado getting a pass, a much easier ride from the Coronavirus Task Force and the media, than is Governor Kemp? Are they doing a better job in Colorado of dealing with the virus than Georgia? No. &#8220;As of Thursday afternoon, according to the RealClearPolitics coronavirus tracker, Georgia has endured fewer deaths per million (82.1) than Colorado (88.2), has a lower confirmed case fatality rate (4.05 percent) than Colorado (4.67 percent), and has conducted twice as many tests (101,062) than has Colorado (50,645). Now, to answer the question with which this paragraph began, here\u2019s how the Washington Post reported Kemp\u2019s decision to reopen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You ready? Three, two, one.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-346017\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042320-Trump-Kemp.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042320-Trump-Kemp.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042320-Trump-Kemp-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042320-Trump-Kemp-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>&#8220;Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp\u2019s move Monday to lift restrictions on a wide range of businesses, one of the most aggressive moves yet to reignite commercial activity in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, put his state at the center of a deepening national battle over whether Americans are ready to risk exacerbating the public health crisis to revive the shattered economy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how the Washington Post reported Colorado\u2019s situation. &#8220;It\u2019s buried 14 paragraphs down in a reprinted Associated Press report about states considering economic restarts. Conspicuously absent are any portentous allusions to a &#8216;deepening national battle\u2019 or that it might &#8216;risk exacerbating the public health crisis.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what it said. The governor of Colorado &#8220;outlined a plan to ease statewide stay-at-home and nonessential business closures Monday. All nonessential retailers may soon offer curbside delivery and can fully reopen, at half-staff capacity and with protective measures. Offices and personal services can do the same in May. Schools, universities, gyms remain closed, along with indoor restaurant and bar service.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no characterizations of the governor at all. There\u2019s no judgmentalism of the decision at all. When describing Colorado, which is reopening with not nearly the decent stats that Georgia has. &#8220;Governor Brian Kemp and his move Monday to lift restrictions on a wide range of businesses, one of the most aggressive moves yet, put his state at the center of a deepening national battle.&#8221; Brian Kemp, Georgia.

I\u2019m a former civics teacher. And I think this has been a giant teachable moment even just between Kemp and Trump. This is the difference between federalism and a unitary system that is top down. Federalism is a check-and-balance relationship between states and federal government. It\u2019s not Trump versus Kemp. They\u2019re working together. And, you know, I\u2019m really kind of getting cheesed off at the fact that they\u2019re really going after Governor Kemp for doing what\u2019s best for &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Because he\u2019s not conforming. It\u2019s very simple, he\u2019s not conforming. He\u2019s not going along with conventional wisdom. He\u2019s defying the people that think they run things. He\u2019s defying the autocrats, including the media. And, by the way, you\u2019re a former civics teacher. I have to tell you something. I think if something in American language has the worst possible name for what it really means, it\u2019s federalism.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. Well, you assume that federalism means that we are being run by the federal government &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right. Like you said, unitary, top down. Federalism &#8212; it\u2019s not &#8212; it\u2019s the exact opposite of that. It\u2019s the strangest name for a system.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It\u2019s a great system of checks and balances just as there is between the different branches of government at the federal level but between federal and state &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Exactly right. And it says among many other things that we\u2019re not a bunch of commie pinkos in this country.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We have a call from Georgia here. This is Gretchen.

Mega prayers.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Real quick, I believe in what our governor is doing. I\u2019m thinking if you wait another week or another two weeks, it\u2019s not gonna change anything. Look. We went to a big grocery store in Augusta, my husband and I are both senior citizens. We went there the Saturday before Easter and there were probably a hundred people in that store and maybe only half of them had masks on. So, I\u2019m gonna get my haircut Monday, I might see five people in the shop, and we\u2019ll all have masks on. I don\u2019t see how this is gonna be a problem.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. I feel you. I know exactly what &#8212; your real point is, what is another two weeks gonna mean? What\u2019s gonna change in two weeks? Is the virus gonna become less virulent in two weeks? Is the virus gonna be vanquished in two weeks? The reason why two weeks, I told you &#8212; and Cuomo is doing it &#8212; I told you everybody they\u2019re gonna keep extending this lockdown in intervals of two weeks because they think you\u2019ll accept that. &#8220;Oh, two more weeks, I can deal with that.&#8221; Instead of telling you, &#8220;We\u2019re gonna be locked down until November.&#8221; They\u2019ll tell you every two weeks hoping to get you to November.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-345669\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042220-Kemp-Georgia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042220-Kemp-Georgia.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042220-Kemp-Georgia-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-042220-Kemp-Georgia-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: I think some of these people intend this country to be locked down for the rest of the year.

And the only way you can get rid of it is with a vaccine, and that\u2019s not gonna happen. So, it\u2019s not gonna go away so we just need to accept it &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, there\u2019s another way of getting rid of it. Well, you don\u2019t get rid of it. There\u2019s another way of dealing with it, and that is more and more people develop an immunity to it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But you can\u2019t do that until you\u2019re exposed to it. And so you know who the highly vulnerable are. They are elderly, we\u2019re told people who have high blood pressure, diabetes, are elderly, have pulmonary problems, you shelter them, you lock them down, you keep them secluded and then let people go about their lives. If these numbers are true, that the infection rate\u2019s 50 times higher than what is known, it means a lot of people have been exposed to the virus, never had any symptoms, and have developed an immunity to it. It\u2019s how it happens. But we\u2019re afraid to do that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The governor of Georgia is standing by his decision&#8230; We need to do this.
