RUSH: George Floyd. Have you heard this? The medical examiner says that George Floyd had the coronavirus at the time of his death, and that obviously could have been a factor in his difficulty breathing. No, no, no, don\u2019t misunderstand. There\u2019s no, no, no mitigating thing here. What the cops did was obscene. It was. Look, I understand anybody repulsed by that. I was not just repulsed. I was livid. It was so damn stupid. It was mean. Every potential negative character trait that you could associate with it, it was.<\/p>\n

\"\"But, nevertheless, he had coronavirus. And the medical examiner also said that he was using crystal meth and fentanyl. Now, fentanyl is really misunderstood because of the way it\u2019s been misrepresented on prime time television cop shows. Fentanyl, you\u2019ve probably watched a cop show where the good guys, the cops, find their way into the bad guy\u2019s headquarters, and in there is a supply of fentanyl. And then somebody mistakenly rips it open and fentanyl dust escapes from the package. And then everybody dies because fentanyl is — that\u2019s not what happens. Fentanyl, those tiny little amounts that they were attempting to convey can wipe you out is not accurate.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s potent stuff, don\u2019t misunderstand. But if it were as deadly as that is, drug people wouldn\u2019t be cutting their heroin with it. They\u2019d be killing their customers. Fentanyl, I\u2019ve told you this story a number of times. Fentanyl is what Vladimir Putin and the Russians found a way to convert to use as an aerosol. And it took a lot of it, but remember 20 years ago the Chechens succeeded in taking over a church. I think it was in Moscow. And they took a lot of Moscow citizens hostage. And the Putin regime attempted to negotiate with them but they gave up after a while and they just loaded the HVAC system of the church with fentanyl, aerosol fentanyl.<\/p>\n

Nobody had ever seen that done before. The American military stood up and took note of this because the way it kills, it stops you breathing. In fact, any drug overdose — heroin, whatever — that you see portrayed on TV is also the result of the respiratory system being suppressed. That\u2019s what happens. And fentanyl, it doesn\u2019t take much at all. More than what they show you on a cop show, but that\u2019s what it does.<\/p>\n

\"\"My point is that if he had fentanyl in his system and crystal meth and also had the coronavirus, this guy was having trouble breathing anyway, and there should have been some kind of sensitivity to that. “I can\u2019t breathe, Officer,” and these guys didn\u2019t even hear it, or if they did, they didn\u2019t believe it or they acted like they didn\u2019t believe it or whatever. It was just — I\u2019m out of ways of describing how it affected me.<\/p>\n

But the media is taking all of this, and now the media is trying to say, the AP is claiming that all of these protests, the anti-police protests have taken place in every one of the 25 communities with the highest concentration of coronavirus cases. And that happens to be true. Did you know that? And the Associated Press is saying that this is probably gonna lead to reinstituting a shutdown of the country because people are gonna get tired of rioting and looting, and they\u2019re gonna go home and they\u2019re gonna spread the virus.<\/p>\n

In fact, rioting and looting will spread the virus even more. And then the AP says that the cops using tear gas will increase the spread of coronavirus because it makes people cough, and when people cough, they spread the coronavirus. So arresting people and putting them in jail is going to increase the spread of coronavirus. That is the point of an AP story I am holding right here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. (interruption) What\u2019s that? (interruption) Hm-hm. (interruption) That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

\"\"If looters are spreading the coronavirus to everybody, yeah, we\u2019re supposed to be very worried about it and we\u2019re really supposed to hate the cops because the cops are using tear gas, and that\u2019s making these people cough. And coughing, as you know, is the predominant way the virus spreads. And all of this, because the cops are trying to stop this, is gonna lead to another shutdown. AP. That\u2019s the substance of this story.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Stacy, Cincinnati, Ohio. Great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Really quick before I get to my point. I have three daughters — a 22-year-old, a 17-year-old, and a 14-year-old. And to dad that called<\/a>, my 17-year-old tried to convince me that the police were putting bricks out. So, you know, no, I don\u2019t think so. And my 22-year-old, I wish I never even sent her to university. That\u2019s another day.<\/p>\n

But to my point. I am upset at the fact that we\u2019ve become so complacent with our governors. I live in Ohio. I can\u2019t go to my church. My daughter, 14-year-old who plays lacrosse, our metro parks were closed, so she had to play lacrosse indoors because of COVID. I see all these protesters. They are praying together, which is great. I\u2019m glad people are praying with the police. They are doing the electric slide, thousands of them, outside.<\/p>\n

So I say to all you entrepreneurs, don\u2019t listen. There are restaurants that cannot open. My church cannot open because of the regulations. Use common sense. Do not be sheep. I don\u2019t know what is going on with this country. And thank God for you, Rush, because I would go insane. And I just wanted to know what you thought.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think if they try to shut the country down again, they\u2019re gonna have a much tougher time with it. They\u2019re gonna have some people go along with it because there are some people that are just sheep. But I don\u2019t think they\u2019re gonna succeed in getting the whole country to shut down again like they did, if they try it again, people like you won\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
