We\u2019ve set another record, 77,000 cases in one day, new American record, new worldwide record, whatever, in certain parts of the country, the death toll is rising as well. This is all being laid off on Donald Trump. It\u2019s all Donald Trump\u2019s fault and other Republican governors.<\/p>\n<p>I have a question. What do you think we need to do? I\u2019m serious. What do you think needs to happen? There\u2019s a question before. Can this be stopped? <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-288411 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/APP-022718-Rush-thoughts-EIB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/APP-022718-Rush-thoughts-EIB.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/APP-022718-Rush-thoughts-EIB-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Can we change these numbers? And if we can, what\u2019s it gonna take to change the numbers? And then, if you think you know a way to change the numbers, should we do whatever you think is the way to do it?<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t even know if the numbers are accurate. We\u2019ve got this story from <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2020\/07\/15\/huge-scandal-300-florida-covid-test-sites-reported-false-100-positivity-rate\/\">Fox 35 out of Orlando that 300 different testing sites reporting 100 percent positivity<\/a>. And a bunch of them were not even higher than 7.6% positivity, 9.4%. There\u2019s so much bogus information. We can\u2019t trust anything we hear. This is another great, great disappointment. We don\u2019t have a single institution that we can rely on. Some of you can\u2019t even rely on your church anymore. You\u2019ve got pastors that are out there that have gone all political, all the time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-354626\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-070620-Covid.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-070620-Covid.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-070620-Covid-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-070620-Covid-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s a sad, sad realization. Where do you go to believe what you\u2019re gonna hear? The media doesn\u2019t fulfill that role anymore. Their job is to make it sound as bad as them, their job is to make it sound as bad as they can and getting worse and no end in sight. And that\u2019s what they were doing. And that\u2019s what you\u2019re faced with every day if you\u2019re going to consume news.<\/p>\n<p>And then you\u2019re gonna be told it\u2019s all Trump\u2019s fault because Trump doesn\u2019t care. But even if Trump cared it wouldn\u2019t matter \u2019cause Trump\u2019s incompetent. He doesn\u2019t know what to do. So since he doesn\u2019t know what to do, Trump\u2019s just ignoring it, Trump\u2019s just hoping that it\u2019ll go away.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s what the NFL\u2019s doing. Then Major League Baseball &#8212; do you know what happened to me last night, by the way? I\u2019m sitting around, I\u2019m channel surfing, I have Apple TV. I have Apple TV because of the way it enables me to watch TV. Anyway, I use Apple TV and DirecTV. I go back and forth.<\/p>\n<p>And the great thing about Apple TV is there\u2019s an &#8220;up next&#8221; cue. If you\u2019ve watched anything, it remembers that and tells you when the next episode of whatever you\u2019re watching. There was an intrasquad St. Louis Cardinals game last night at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. And because I have the MLBatbat.com app and because I have used it, right there in the &#8220;up next&#8221; cue was St. Louis Cardinal intrasquad became. So I said holy, holy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-356950\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-071720-St-Louis-Cards.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-071720-St-Louis-Cards.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-071720-St-Louis-Cards-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-071720-St-Louis-Cards-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>So I clicked on it, and they were in the eighth inning, and they said there is gonna be another one tonight, but they hadn\u2019t decided what time because it\u2019s so hot in St. Louis that they\u2019re gonna try to choose &#8212; probably be a night intrasquad game. It\u2019s gonna be televised. And then I assume that other teams are doing this as they prepare to play their season. And it was odd. It was an intrasquad game, and it was a real game, and there were no fans.<\/p>\n<p>There might have been five people sitting in the seats behind home plate, probably team officials properly distanced. But the stadium was empty, Mr. Snerdley. Totally empty. My brother\u2019s a big Cardinals fan, so I send him, &#8220;Hey, there\u2019s an intrasquad going on right now, it\u2019s the eighth inning, you\u2019re probably gonna miss it,&#8221; I said, &#8220;but they\u2019re gonna do another one tomorrow night,&#8221; meaning tonight. He couldn\u2019t wait to tell his friends and his cousin &#8212; my cousin, too. People are hungry for this stuff.<\/p>\n<p>So, anyway, what would you do? What would you do to stop? Well, the one thing you can do is stop watching the news. But if you think that there\u2019s something we can do to change the number of cases, the number of deaths, what would you do? &#8220;Is there anything that can be done?&#8221; may be the most important question.<\/p>\n<p>There were no fake crowd noises in the intrasquad game, that I heard, anyway. But I didn\u2019t watch it long enough to see what kind of production value they were putting into it. I just saw it was the eighth inning, said this thing\u2019s gonna be over. Something else I wanted to watch.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-348738\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/APP-051420-99-Closed-Covir.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/APP-051420-99-Closed-Covir.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/APP-051420-99-Closed-Covir-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/APP-051420-99-Closed-Covir-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But seriously, seriously, folks. We have locked down. That didn\u2019t do a thing. Locking down didn\u2019t stop the march of the disease, the virus. It didn\u2019t do a damn thing, except destroy the United States economy in two months. But it didn\u2019t have any effect on the disease. Now, the media will not tell you. The media wants you to believe that locking down and shutting down stopped the disease and not nearly as many people died or would die. That\u2019s BS.<\/p>\n<p>You lock down all you want. The minute you open up, we get what we got right now. The minute you open up. But you lock down again, we\u2019re finished. If we lock down, if the Democrats convince a number of states to lock down again, we\u2019re finished. Can\u2019t recover from it a second time. Not as you would want to recover from it. Mean, t<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s always gonna be an America and there\u2019s always gonna be an American economy, and there\u2019s always gonna be &#8212; well, there won\u2019t always be America as we know it, but there\u2019s gonna be an America. We shudder to think what that America would be if certain people win.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Anybody want to take on my question? What are we gonna do?
