RUSH: You watch what\u2019s happening in Manhattan last night. You watch what happened in D.C., you watch nobody trying to stop it. It is just mind-boggling. It is literally mind-boggling. These Democrat-run states seem hell-bent on whatever carnage happening, as long as they think they\u2019re gonna be able to end up blaming it on Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just astounding to watch this, the degree of hatred these people are harboring for one man. Well, actually not just one man. Those of you who voted for him as well. I mean, even the Drive-By Media is out saying they\u2019ve never seen anything like this. Macy\u2019s, Herald Square looted last night. You know, people say, “Rush, this is not as bad, it\u2019s been worse than this before, Rush. You\u2019ve just forgotten. You\u2019ve forgotten the Watts riots in LA in the sixties.”<\/p>\n

\"\"No, I haven\u2019t. “And you\u2019ve forgotten about the protests of 1968, the Democrat national convention in Chicago.” No, I haven\u2019t. Speaking of that, I want to run something by you. I just got a news story involving Senator Lindsey Graham. It\u2019s from the Washington Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Sen. Lindsey Graham on Tuesday questioned how much blame should be directed at Antifa for the violent protests and looting in the wake of George Floyd\u2019s death in police custody. Mr. Graham, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Antifa has played ‘a part\u2019 in the civil unrest. But the South Carolina Republican noted that rioting and looting happened during protests long before the militant anti-fascist group became a movement. ‘We will try to find out how organized this violence is,\u2019 Mr. Graham said. ‘But I am old enough to remember 1968, and Antifa was not around in 1968, that I know of.'”<\/p>\n

So what? I saw a little expose on Antifa last night, and I kind of enjoyed it because it made a point that I made yesterday. Antifa is a group that is recruited off of college campuses. Antifa is an amalgamation, but it\u2019s not just a bunch of poor, disenfranchised either minorities or white people fed up. Many of them are top-tier graduates of American universities who come out of these universities with their minds already poisoned.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been radicalized by the professoriate, by the faculty. And many of them come from means, from families of independent means and wealth. They\u2019re not all ragtag poverty. But it is a well-oiled machine. Whether they\u2019ve been around since 1968 doesn\u2019t matter. Now, I know what Graham is saying. Graham\u2019s saying — we\u2019d have to speculate here — because the riots in 1968 were the SDS. That would be Tom Hayden and the boys. I think Antifa is just the modern-day descendants of that. I think these anti-American radical leftists have been around for a long time, whatever they call themselves.<\/p>\n

\"\"Like I said yesterday, Antifa, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, it\u2019s all the same bunch of people. It\u2019s all the same bunch of people from the militant environmental movement to the militant feminist movement. It\u2019s all the same people, it\u2019s all the same thinking, it\u2019s all the same radical liberalism. And the bottom line is that its home is the Democrat Party. What we\u2019re seeing is Democrat Party politics come home to roost.<\/p>\n

“Rush, that\u2019s too simplistic.” No, it isn\u2019t. Besides that, the most simple explanation is almost always the right explanation, folks. The Democrat Party is getting exactly what they want. This is exactly what they\u2019ve set the table for. And it doesn\u2019t matter which constituent group you\u2019re talking about. I\u2019ve told you they need a permanent underclass that is in constant need, unable to speak the language, unable to provide for themselves. That forms the foundational power base.<\/p>\n

But the last thing the Democrat Party needs is self-reliant people. The last thing the Democrat Party needs or wants is people who are independently able to take care of themselves and advance economically through life. That doesn\u2019t do the Democrat Party any good. And the Democrat Party today is not the Democrat Party of 1968, even though they were pretty radical then. The Democrat Party today is full-fledged leftist, socialist radical, and they will admit it to you. And so all of this action, 90% of it, if not more, is taking place in blue states.<\/p>\n

The lack of action against the looters and rioters is taking place in blue states, and the blue state governors are in full-fledged support of the looters and the rioters. It wasn\u2019t that long ago — look at the mayor of New York City. Bill de Blasio, if you dared go into a body of water during the lockdown he was gonna send his thugs to snatch you out of it. If you went into a bay, if you went into a pool, if you went into the ocean, Bill de Blasio was gonna send the authorities after you, and you were gonna be rag dragged out of there because you were not gonna be allowed to spread the virus. You were gonna obey the lockdown. You were gonna be sent back home or else you were gonna be under severe threat of punishment.<\/p>\n

Now, his own city is being looted and rioted, and he doesn\u2019t make a serious effort to stop it. Contrast that with his behavior of people violating his so-called lockdown during the virus pandemic. Now we\u2019ve got a new kind of pandemic. We don\u2019t have a virus pandemic. We\u2019ve got a looting pandemic. We have a rioting pandemic. Why shouldn\u2019t people be sent back home during this? So I don\u2019t know what Lindsey Graham is talking about.<\/p>\n

\"\"I don\u2019t know why he would want to focus people\u2019s attention away from Antifa by saying, “Well, they weren\u2019t around in 1968, and there were riots in 1968.” Senator, it\u2019s all the same people. It\u2019s all the same organizational energy. It\u2019s all a bunch of whatever is most comfortable for you to use — liberals, socialists, communists, anarchists. Anti-Americans is what this is made of, and they are giving it their best shot.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, hey, hey, hey, look at this, folks. It\u2019s Democrat versus Democrat in New York. Here is the mayor… Sorry, I get all these Democrats confused. Here\u2019s the governor of New York Andrew Cuomo today speaking in Albany.<\/p>\n

CUOMO: The NYPD and the mayor did not do their job last night. What happened in New York City was inexcusable.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yep.<\/p>\n

CUOMO: I offered the National Guard. The mayor has said he can handle it with the NYPD. My option is to displace the mayor of New York City and bring in the National Guard and basically take over —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Dominate!<\/p>\n

CUOMO: — take over —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Dominate!<\/p>\n

CUOMO: — the mayor\u2019s job.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Dominate!<\/p>\n

\"\"CUOMO: I don\u2019t think we\u2019re at that point.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. We\u2019re gonna dominate. Governor Cuomo needs to go in there and dominate, because the stupid mayor let this happen last night. This is outrageous what happened last night! There aren\u2019t words for what happened last night. The wanton destruction of public, private property, all of it, and it was just observed like it was a spectator sport.<\/p>\n

Nobody did one thing of any substance or consequence to try to stop it. You have to ask yourself why — and when you\u2019re talking about De Blasio, I\u2019ll guaran-damn-tee you the idea they might be offending the looters is a big reason to not stop them. They might be offending Antifa. They\u2019re donors, after all. They might be offending the civil rights coalition. They might be offending somebody.<\/p>\n

Just let them have their run at it. That is a predominant way of thinking in minds like Bill de Blasio\u2019s. I had some people ask me last night, different people randomly, “Rush, when are the people of this country gonna rise up? When are the people that own these pieces of property gonna show up and go out and stop it? The cops aren\u2019t gonna do it, and the National Guard and the military are not gonna be deployed.<\/p>\n

“When are the American people gonna stand up and stop this?” I wrote back, “You realize what you\u2019re asking me, don\u2019t you? You\u2019re asking me when the civil war starts — and, by the way,” I said, “you realize you\u2019re asking me when that\u2019s gonna happen in blue states?<\/p>\n

“A lot of those people in blue states don\u2019t even own guns \u2019cause they don\u2019t believe in \u2019em. So what are they gonna go out and stand up and revolt against with? They\u2019re kind of screwed — and then talking about the people in those blue states anyway, are they even of a mind to stand up and try to stop it, or do they think it would be offensive at the same time?”<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I don\u2019t think… Well, I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t think these mayors — and maybe even governors — in these blue states where these major urban areas are literally being destroyed… They may not have any idea what the long-term result of this is gonna be. Now, developing it a little bit further, I literally did… It must have been four random emails, phone calls.<\/p>\n

\"\"Well, not phone calls, but four random people last night asked me, “When are the American people gonna rise up? If the cops aren\u2019t gonna do anything, if the military is not gonna do anything — if they\u2019re not gonna be deployed — how much of this are the American people gonna accept?” Folks, I\u2019ve been asking myself that for as long as I\u2019ve been doing this show, in one form or another, “How long are the American people gonna accept the crap and the garbage of the Democrat Party?<\/p>\n

“How long are people gonna put up with it?” And believe me, they\u2019ve put up with a lot more than I ever hoped that they would. But when you talk about the American people rising up, I mean, you\u2019re really talking about — if you get down to brass tacks — when does the civil war start? I don\u2019t know if you think something like that\u2019s possible. (interruption)<\/p>\n

No, no, no. There\u2019s no advocacy here. I\u2019m simply analyzing, I\u2019m answering questions I was asked. The vast majority of this is happening in Democrat blue states — the destruction, the death. Look, it cannot be stated enough, particularly with the reality that we have people tuning into this program every day for the first time in their lives.<\/p>\n

So those of you who are here regularly are gonna have to be indulgent, \u2019cause I gotta get people up to speed as quickly as possible. I think it\u2019s a big deal. I think it is important, in terms of persuading people, in terms of reaching them, in terms of changing minds and hearts. The Democrat Party — the American left, liberalism, however you want to characterize it — have been promising utopia.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been promising — for all of these years, 50 years — fairness and equality, and nobody gets laughed at and nobody gets humiliated. Nobody\u2019s better than anybody else. Nobody will have any more than anybody else. There won\u2019t be any reason to feel embarrassed or anything of the sort. I mean, they\u2019ve been promising this stuff.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been promising every minority constituent group they\u2019re gonna fix whatever it is leading to the unfairness. In case of African-Americans, they\u2019re gonna fix the racism and they\u2019re gonna punish the racists, and they\u2019re gonna punish the white supremacists. And now the white supremacists are out running the riots and doing the looting, they say.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Democrat voter for all these years and you have bought every promise, you\u2019ve bought into every claim that they\u2019re gonna make it right, that they\u2019re gonna make it good. Forget the use of the word “utopia.” That\u2019s a descriptive I\u2019m using. They don\u2019t actually use that word frequently, but their promising a panacea. They\u2019re promising to fix all of the bigotry and racism and inequality brought to you by who? Us. Republicans.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re to blame for everything, and they\u2019re gonna take it to us. Oh, man are they are gonna make us pay the price! They\u2019re gonna make us pay higher taxes. They\u2019re gonna take our businesses away from us. They are gonna do whatever they\u2019re gonna do. None of this ever happens. Their media lies to them every day — every day, all day — and intensely for the past four years.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s entirely understandable why these people are fit to be tied because the people they\u2019ve believed in — the people they\u2019ve invested in, the people they\u2019ve given money to — have not come through. They haven\u2019t even come close. In three years, Donald Trump came closer to helping aggrieved minorities realize their dreams and overcome their obstacles than eight years of Obama did, than 50 years of the Democrat Party did.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got Andrew Cuomo. How many years has he been governor? How many terms? We got de Blasio, six years on as mayor. We had Obama for eight years. And these people are out talking about the systemic racism in America? Why didn\u2019t they do something about this! That\u2019s exactly my point. Systemic racism? Systemic means it\u2019s in the system by design.<\/p>\n

\"\"Okay. Well, you guys have running New York for a lot longer than Cuomo\u2019s been governor, because every governor has been Democrat with rare exceptions. You Democrats have been running all of these cities. You had Obama for president for eight years. You had Slick Willie for president for eight years. Where were the fixes? Where is the end of institutional racism?<\/p>\n

Why is institutional racism only a reality when Republicans are in the White House? Why does it never get fixed? Well, I\u2019m telling you there have to be some Democrat voters asking themselves the same question. Now, their anger at Democrats is not yet making \u2019em ready to abandon \u2019em and vote Republican, but effort needs to be extended to reach these people, which is one of the things I\u2019m trying to do here.<\/p>\n

You can poke holes and you can blow up every claim they are making throughout this period. George Floyd died in a blue city. He died in a deep blue city, in a deep blue state. He died in a place where there shouldn\u2019t be any police brutality because the Democrats are not gonna permit it. The Democrats are gonna fix it. The Democrats are gonna make sure it doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

And yet George Floyd was murdered in a deep blue state, in a deep blue city, and somehow this is because of systemic racism and white supremacy brought to you by — dadelut, dadelut, dadelut — Donald Trump? It makes no intellectual sense. But we\u2019re not talking intellect here. We\u2019re talking emotion. But it\u2019s literally insane to think that Republicans or white supremacy had anything to do with what happened to George Floyd.<\/p>\n

It happens right there in the middle of a deep blue city and a deep blue state. And it\u2019s not insignificant for me to point out that it shouldn\u2019t happen because they have been promising that in the places they run — and they want to control the nation on the basis that they have superior ideas and superior compassion and superior this. Well, go to where they do run places where there is no check and balance on \u2019em.<\/p>\n

Go anywhere you want where the Democrats run things with no ability by the opposition to stop them or disagree with them or check them in any way, and you\u2019re gonna find misery. You\u2019re gonna find poverty. You\u2019re gonna find a skyrocketing poverty rate, death rate, homelessness. You\u2019re gonna find filth, you\u2019re gonna find squalor — and you\u2019re gonna find those people running those places trying to off-load the blame on the people had nothing to do with it.<\/p>\n

How long are they gonna get away with not being accountable for this? Well, they\u2019ve gotten away with it my whole life, so why should it stop? These people are killing their cities. There\u2019s a great little piece today at National Review by Kyle Smith, and it\u2019s entitled, “The Suicide of the Cities.”<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>He says, “I noted on Twitter last night that rioting, coming right after the virus, is a catastrophe for the cities. Regardless of whether Trump or Biden is elected in November, it\u2019s easy to envision the following happening: Americans will flee the cities as they did in the post-1968 era.” They already are! “Thirty years of great progress for cities will be undone by the events of one spring.<\/p>\n

“People will move to suburbs and exurbs. A lot more families will buy guns. Gun owners vote heavily Republican. People in less densely populated areas vote Republican too. Trust in the government to provide basic services was already shaky and will tumble further,” and why wouldn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

The people who run Macy\u2019s, think of them today. They\u2019re not just a bottomless pit of money that will rebuild. Their property was wantonly destroyed last night, and nobody in the city made one effort to stop it. Why stay? Civic duty? Civic responsibility? These cities are gonna be offering tax breaks out the wazoo to keep businesses in these cities, and then what happens? They gotta make up the revenue of the tax break. Guess what happens? You, the resident in the city, are gonna see skyrocketing tax increases, property, income, and whatever new ones they can come up with.<\/p>\n

People already don\u2019t trust governments in these cities. Why should they? There\u2019s gonna be an increase in homeschooling. And I\u2019ll tell you something else. People have now learned they don\u2019t have to go into Manhattan to work. And their companies have learned they don\u2019t need \u2019em to come into Manhattan to work, which means we don\u2019t need to pay all this exorbitant real estate rent in Manhattan for offices that we don\u2019t need. This is a major upheaval on the verge of happening in cities brought to you by Democrat mayors and Democrat governors who think that they\u2019re destroying Donald Trump doing all this.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Mr. Smith writing about the point he\u2019s made about telecommuting. “The involuntary experiment for telecommuting, particularly among white-collar workers, has proven that workers can be relied upon to work from home. People don\u2019t trust the New York City subway anymore but those who don\u2019t need to come into the office can live anywhere.”<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t even need to live in Connecticut and pay those exorbitant rents. You can move to Missouri and still work in New York, thanks to telecommuting and our sponsor, IDrive.com. More on that another time. But the point is all of this is true, the reasons for staying in these cities are dwindling. The New York City subway was ground zero for spreading the virus right up there with the nursing homes.<\/p>\n

“This is especially true of some of the most successful people — lawyers, people in finance. High-income people will be disproportionately among those leaving,” because they\u2019ll be able to more easily afford to do so.<\/p>\n

“The balance of cities, already hit by a fiscal hurricane because of the duration of the lockdown, will tip toward heavy consumers of government services and away from high earners.” That means the people that stay in cities are gonna be showing up wherever they think they have to go to get a government welfare check. There aren\u2019t gonna be any jobs for the people we\u2019re talking about because the cities aren\u2019t gonna have anything for them to do.<\/p>\n

Cities will be forced to raise taxes. The taxes on high earners and corporations will be punitive. That will lead to even more of them leaving as taxes go up. You see, the things that successful people like about cities — Mr. Snerdley is a successful person — and one of the things that successful people like about cities — restaurants, high-quality, high end — if you want, they\u2019re there. The culture. You may not access it every day, but it\u2019s there, the museums and Broadway or whatever it is, the cities do provide things that the burbs and flyover country don\u2019t, not as grandly and as exclusively.<\/p>\n

\"\"But it\u2019s not gonna be enough to keep people in these cities because there isn\u2019t gonna be enough of a tax base or an income base to support high-end restaurants and high-end culture. “Corporate office parks in the suburbs are gonna see a resurgence. … Cities will lose congressional seats. Federal funding will be steered away accordingly.” It will go to the burbs or wherever people end up relocating. People who stop commuting into cities will lose interest in the cities and their institutions.<\/p>\n

And why would they not? If you\u2019re never gonna go to the city, why care about what goes on there? And if you\u2019re not going to the city because you do care about the squalor and everything else going on there, then you\u2019re purposely gonna stay even further away.<\/p>\n

“Voters left behind in cities will be a combination of the indigent, immigrants working in low-end jobs, the young, and the [social justice warriors who are] woke. These people will vote for a hard-left agenda,” because they think the rich are gonna be punished and made to pay for everything. They think the Republicans are gonna get blamed and tarred and feathered. There will be forgiveness for criminals, there will be hatred of the rich. Global warming and other such boutique lunatic ideas will run the day.<\/p>\n

“In other words, the demonstrators and rioters are going to remake the cities in their own image. And it\u2019s going to be disastrous for those cities,” because reasonable people are not going to stay.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: It looks to me like this mayor, De Blasio… Even now Governor Cuomo is getting in his chili because he didn\u2019t call out any law enforcement of any kind last night to stop the literal burning and looting of the city. Macy\u2019s. It was astounding.<\/p>\n

Even Cuomo\u2019s jumping on his case.<\/p>\n

But why didn\u2019t he do it?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll give you a theory. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised… I\u2019m not predicting this; I\u2019m just gonna tell you. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if this mayor wants Trump to bring in the military, just like these mayors and these governors are maintaining the virus lockdown. They want the suffering and they want the economic damage, and they know that the New York and California economies are crucial to the national economy rebounding.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t want that. They don\u2019t want anything that\u2019s gonna help Trump. All they want to do is hurt Trump, and if this mayor of New York can force Trump into calling out the military, then he wants those pictures. He wants pictures of uniformed military on the streets in New York. And then what happens if an American is killed? I realize it\u2019s a series of ifs.<\/p>\n

But can you imagine what the Drive-By Media would do with the story? “U.S. Military Kills Innocent New Yorker Because of Donald Trump,” blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think Cuomo\u2019s an accomplice this. And I\u2019ll tell you something else. None of this is about George Floyd. George Floyd\u2019s family is doing everything they can to get this stuff stopped.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t like all of this happening in George Floyd\u2019s name. If you didn\u2019t know better, you would think they\u2019re trying to incite a civil war. Because, folks, there\u2019s no reason why any city cannot control crowds. As militarized as American police departments can be, then you add the National Guard to it and the specter of the U.S. military, there\u2019s no way that Macy\u2019s can\u2019t be protected.<\/p>\n

But looters were being let in the front door. Did you see the pictures? Looters were being let in, and then the door was being opened and they were being let out by authorities. Somebody was letting the looters in and out. If New York City wanted to protect Macy\u2019s, they could have. If they wanted to protect SoHo, they could have. If they wanted to protect Union Square, they could have.<\/p>\n

\"\"The National Guard\u2019s available. Enforcing curfews is available. I\u2019m gonna tell you: “At this point ‘space to destroy\u2019 isn\u2019t just about property. This is about trying to make martyrs out of Antifa.” Everybody agrees that George Floyd was a completely undeserving victim of a horrendous crime. Everybody agrees — and, by the same token, we should all be able to agree that mayors and governors have a duty to, and can, protect their cities.<\/p>\n

We can outnumber the protesters with military, the National Guard, and the police force. And since we\u2019re not doing that, is it safe to say that blue state governors and mayors want what\u2019s happening to happen? “Come on, Rush. Be very careful here. You can\u2019t really believe that.” I\u2019m just asking. This is logic, folks. Common sense. We can stop this.<\/p>\n

They could have prevented Macy\u2019s being looted and otherwise damaged and who knows what was done to it last night. They could have stopped that. They could have stopped any of this any night they wanted to. But they chose not to. They chose not to, either because, “Well, we don\u2019t want to offend the protesters or the rioters, we don\u2019t want to offend Antifa,” whatever. I think they think these pictures is all it\u2019s gonna take to defeat Donald Trump — plus, if they can keep Plugs ambulatory.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Eric in Peoria, Illinois. Eric, I\u2019m glad you called, sir. You\u2019re next on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thank you very much. I\u2019m so excited, I finally got through on the day you\u2019re giving away a free iPhone. Just kidding.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ha. (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Actually I just wanted to say you were talking earlier about when are the people gonna come out, when are the people gonna stand up, and so it made me want to call because yesterday the Peoria police department had a press conference. And one of the questions in the press conference was asked to the sheriff or the police chief I guess, and it\u2019s like, “What happens if a place gets looted and the business owner is in there, is he allowed to defend his property?”<\/p>\n

\"\"He says, “I don\u2019t know. I gotta go to legal.” So they bring the attorney up and the attorney says, the attorney that\u2019s in charge here says, “You are not allowed to practice self-defense or take the law into your own hands,” I believe is exactly what she said, “You\u2019re supposed to call the police. That\u2019s what they\u2019re trained for.” Well, if you\u2019re in the middle of a riot, how you gonna call the police because they\u2019re busy somewhere else so you\u2019re just supposed to let \u2019em burn your stuff down? But it\u2019s that attitude — and Peoria is very Democratic — it\u2019s that attitude why nobody wants to stand up because if we defend ourselves, we shoot somebody or whatever, we go to jail. So what\u2019s the use? Where is the freedom?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, exactly.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s all I had, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m glad you called. You know, I have a press conference on — you know, this reminds me something else I remember. Two weeks ago — remember this, folks? — two weeks ago desperate, frustrated citizens were peacefully demanding to get government to let them open their businesses. Let us go back to our lives. Let us reopen our businesses and our livelihoods. They were begging government to let them do this. The lockdown had gone on long enough.<\/p>\n

The virtue signaling leftists were screaming at us that it\u2019s not about the protesters health, it\u2019s about them returning to their communities and spreading the infection to our grandparents. Remember? We cannot let these protests happen. We can\u2019t let this happen because we\u2019re gonna have a second wave, they said. You can\u2019t go back to work because you\u2019ll create a second wave. You can\u2019t reopen your business.<\/p>\n

Then protesters come along and guess what doesn\u2019t matter anymore? The second wave. People contracting the virus. It doesn\u2019t matter. There\u2019s no social distancing requirement placed on the protesters. They don\u2019t have to wear masks. Today they\u2019re allowing, they are encouraging, celebrating. I\u2019m talking about these socialist governments, the mayors and the governors, the Drive-By Media celebrating this rioting, celebrating the looting. And I\u2019m not exaggerating. They\u2019re humping it, folks. They\u2019re out there promoting it. They think it\u2019s a great thing because it\u2019s anti-Trump, in their world. They\u2019ve got themselves convinced that all this is happening \u2019cause people hate Trump. And to them, that makes sense, and therefore it\u2019s entirely warranted and justified.<\/p>\n

So if they\u2019re gonna violate every social distancing rule, all the mitigation to stop spread of the virus, so what? Who cares? Trump hatred, getting rid of Trump is worth people dying. Nobody holding any of these people accountable? And you know who the most risk community is in all they? African-Americans. African-Americans are the at-risk, the most at-risk for the virus segment of our population. And who cares? Not the Drive-Bys. Not the socialist governments in these cities and states.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s a headline from Breitbart News: “Washington Mass Riots End as Trump and the Military Restore Order in the Nation\u2019s Capital.<\/a>” The story is date-lined yesterday and last night. “Streets of Washington quieter Monday night after the president deployed the National Guard.” You can stop this stuff. Any mayor could stop it. Any governor can stop any of this stuff they want to stop. They just don\u2019t want to stop it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
