RUSH: They\u2019re still livid that Trump said “it is what it is” about COVID cases and the number of deaths. So if they ask Trump, “Mr. President, it\u2019s been said that you\u2019re not gonna leave the White House if you lose. Will you leave?” “Well, it\u2019ll be what it\u2019ll be.” It will just drive them crazy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, this business of “it is what it is,” folks, is there any other alternative than accepting the reality of the situation? When it comes to COVID-19 and the virus, is there any alternative to accepting the reality? What is the reality? The reality is we have a pandemic. The reality is we have a virus for which, at the moment, there is no vaccine.<\/p>\n

And, for all intents and purposes, there is no magic, therapeutic pharmaceutical that, if you take it, you\u2019re guaranteed to recover. We\u2019re getting close but we\u2019re not there yet. What alternative do we have other than to deal with it? What does that mean? “Deal with it” does not mean hide from it. You can\u2019t. You can\u2019t hide from this. You can\u2019t hide from any virus.<\/p>\n

At some point you\u2019re gonna have to face it. I mean, you can quarantine yourself all you want. You can vow to stay holed up in your home, your hovel, your shack, your hut, wherever you live, for as long as you want, but you gotta come out at some point. And when you come out, you\u2019re vulnerable if there hasn\u2019t been any change on the vaccine or therapeutic side. So there\u2019s no other alternative but than to deal with it.<\/p>\n

This is who we are, as Americans. We don\u2019t cower in the corner in fear. We don\u2019t run away from these challenges. We face them head-on and try to solve them. But we adapt. That\u2019s what we do better than most because we have freedom and liberty to adapt more than most in the world have. There\u2019s no other choice but than to accept it.<\/p>\n

So if 45,000 new cases a day, we can wish it weren\u2019t true all we want, but ain\u2019t gonna change anything. So the idea that we have a pandemic, we have the virus, gonna face it. The idea that this is somehow insensitive and controversial is absurd. In fact, it\u2019s the only adult way of looking at it. We can\u2019t afford to all act like children with this, folks. We can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no. I\u2019m not trying to rile anybody up. I\u2019m trying to be straightforward with this. Folks, there\u2019s no other option we have other than to deal with it. It\u2019s here. It\u2019s affecting every aspect of life. You can\u2019t wish it away. You can ignore it if you want, you can try that. But it eventually isn\u2019t going to work out for you. We Americans traditionally have never run away from anything — attacks from outside our borders on us, attacks on us from inside our borders.<\/p>\n

\"\"Whenever brand-new diseases pop up we get on the case like we\u2019re on the case with this, with COVID-19. But for Donald Trump — I\u2019ve got another sound bite, a montage today, the media is literally beside itself that his attitude is “it is what it is.” Thank God we\u2019ve got somebody in power who does have the ability to face reality and doesn\u2019t try to wish it away or doesn\u2019t try to cover it up with fake emotions that are designed to relate to people but be essentially dishonest with them.<\/p>\n

“It is what it is.” Sorry if it\u2019s a cliche, but the coronavirus is out there. It\u2019s doing what it\u2019s doing. And we have to deal with it. It\u2019s a sad thing that it\u2019s affecting the numbers of people that it\u2019s affecting. We wish it weren\u2019t. But there are things out there that are more lethal than coronavirus. There are things that are far more risky in terms of normal, everyday behavior. The number of deaths from the wheel, for example, the number of deaths from the flu. There are far many more things — imagine if you were near those explosions in Lebanon. I mean, you can\u2019t wish it away. And you can\u2019t flood it with emotions and you can\u2019t flood people with emotions and have anything about the virus change.<\/p>\n

So dealing with it and figuring out a way to go about our lives is paramount. It is crucial. We have to figure out a way of continuing to open up the economy, getting people back to work, saving their businesses, their dreams, their livelihoods. I\u2019ll tell you one of the big problems we\u2019ve got is that most of the decision-makers are people that will never be out of work. They will never lose a dime. They will never have a problem with paying their rent or their mortgage. They will never have a problem buying food. They will never have a problem keeping their automobiles fueled with whatever powers them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s stunning to realize it when you look at it that way. Not a single person that\u2019s involved in creating and making and enforcing policy on this is gonna be affected by it the way most people who are affected by it are affected. They\u2019re not gonna lose their jobs. They\u2019re not gonna suffer a loss in compensation. Therefore they\u2019re not gonna be kicked out of their homes or their apartments. They\u2019re not going to starve. They\u2019re not gonna miss any meals. They\u2019re not gonna be unable to get in their car, go wherever they want to go. They\u2019re not gonna be unable to get on an airplane and go wherever they want to go.<\/p>\n

And this is a factor. It\u2019s relevant. They talk about Trump and his inability to relate to people. It\u2019s crazy. If there\u2019s anybody in American politics today that has the ability to relate to more people than anybody, it\u2019s Donald J. Trump. Joe Biden could not do what Trump did on Fox & Friends today. Biden is incapable of replicating the kind of dialogue that Trump engaged in. The contrast in energy, the contrast in knowledge of events and issues, mental acuity, the contrast between Trump and Biden is striking. It\u2019s why they\u2019re keeping Biden in the basement. And more on that as the program unfolds.<\/p>\n

But this 59 minutes on Fox & Friends, I\u2019m telling you, folks, it was all over the place. He didn\u2019t get tricked up once. He wasn\u2019t stumped on anything. They didn\u2019t hit him with anything he didn\u2019t have an answer for. He was really on his game today in this interview. And we\u2019ve got some of the audio clips from it. But this is a guy who knows exactly what we\u2019re dealing with here every day on whatever the issue is, be it illegal immigration, be it COVID-19, be it dealing with the ChiComs.<\/p>\n

And more than that is somebody who has the ability to deal with it realistically. And we\u2019re going to have to be able to do that with this. We\u2019re gonna have to be able to get up and go to work every day knowing the virus is out there. There are things we can do to mitigate our risk. We\u2019re gonna have to send kids back to school. We have no choice about this. No, I mean, we do, but there\u2019s a choice that could be made here that would be disastrous.<\/p>\n

Keeping kids home? No way. It doesn\u2019t work. It will slow down the economic recovery \u2019cause parents can\u2019t go back to work if the kids are gonna be at home all day. People are gonna go insane. The kids are gonna go insane, they\u2019re gonna go stir-crazy, parents ditto. But the teachers are holding everybody hostage. The left-wing teachers unions, “You better defund the cops or we\u2019re not going back to the classroom.”<\/p>\n

What? “That\u2019s right. Defund the cops or we\u2019re not going back to the classroom. And, by the way, get rid of all private schools or we\u2019re not going back to the classroom. Oh, and get rid of charter schools or we\u2019re not going back to class.” Screw you. That isn\u2019t how it works. But these things have to happen. The United States has to get back to being the leader of the free world. The United States has to get back to being the lone superpower of this planet because we\u2019re the good guys.<\/p>\n

\"\"I don\u2019t care what Black Lives Matter thinks or says. I don\u2019t care what Antifa says or thinks. I don\u2019t care what the Democrat Party says or thinks. I don\u2019t care what Democrat blue state mayors or governors say. We are the good guys. We do have a moral imperative and a moral superiority to the vast number of nations on this planet. We also have a lot of allies. We have a lot of friends we\u2019re eager to work with. And we\u2019re not running around talking about our moral superiority. We\u2019re talking about the moral imperative. We are by virtue of our existence as a nation, we become the leading light of liberty and freedom in the world. We have become the leading economy in the world.<\/p>\n

The world cannot do without us. As goes the United States, so goes the world. He can\u2019t afford to shrink back into a shell. We can\u2019t afford to cower in collective corners and pretend that this thing\u2019s not happening and it doesn\u2019t exist. That\u2019s not who we are. That\u2019s not what the rest of the world expects us to be. We can\u2019t sit here and let a bunch of people who will never be negatively impacted by this tell the rest of us what to do, with all due respect.<\/p>\n

The medical community people, Drs. Fauci and Birx, they may be brilliant at what they do, but they shouldn\u2019t be the people telling us whether schools will open or not. It\u2019s not their area of expertise. What do they know about it? What do they even care about it beyond what they think the impact would be on public health.<\/p>\n

And there are just a couple examples. There\u2019s all kinds of people that are involved in making policy, like should schools reopen, who are not gonna be affected by the policy they impose on us. You can\u2019t have that, folks. You cannot have people who have immunity from the policy making the policy. You just can\u2019t do it. Then you\u2019re gonna have a lot of people who literally have no ability to relate to the everyday problems this virus creates.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t have people who are not affected by it making policy. Not all of them. “Well, Rush, isn\u2019t that kind of like you always say that the left says that you can\u2019t talk about the defense budget \u2019cause you didn\u2019t serve?” No. It\u2019s not at all like it. I sit here on the radio. I don\u2019t have any power. I can\u2019t affect the defense budget. I can\u2019t affect defense policy. I sure as hell can talk about it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m talking about people who are in positions of power that allows them to make policy. People who are not gonna be affected by the policies they impose should not be making the policy. At least the people making policy should not be exclusively comprised of those unaffected by what they — and one of the big, big problems of liberalism is that they never, ever suffer the consequences of their own policies. They\u2019re immune. By definition, liberal, socialist, communist leaders don\u2019t want any part of what they demand their populations put up with.<\/p>\n

\"\"But in a representative republic like ours, the leaders live it, or did. We\u2019re trending away from this. And it\u2019s gotta stop. You know, Obama had a phrase for this. He talked about gotta have skin in the game. (doing impression) “Gotta have a stake hold, skin in the game, can\u2019t be doing this if you don\u2019t have skin in the game.” Why in the world was Obama making policy on health care? He didn\u2019t know anything about health care. He didn\u2019t know anything about the hospital business. He didn\u2019t know anything about the professional medical care industry. He\u2019d never worked in it. None of the people that he had working on it, either, had ever had any experience.<\/p>\n

These are people from the faculty lounge at the Ivy League sitting around whining and moaning about the people doing the jobs, doing the work, and these clowns at the faculty lounge talk about how stupid they all are and how much brighter they are and how much better they could do it. Well, they got their chance to try during eight years of Obama. What have we got to show for it? Nothing but one disaster after another to one degree or another.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I mentioned earlier that the Drive-By Media is still livid over Trump saying about COVID-19 and the number of cases that “it is what it is.”<\/a><\/p>\n

CHRISTINE ROMANS: President Trump\u2019s “it is what it is” approach to the pandemic is divorced from reality.<\/p>\n

NORAH O\u2019DONNELL: With more than 1,000 Americans dying every day, the president said, “it is what it is.”<\/p>\n

DAVID MUIR: On COVID deaths in this country, the president at one point saying, “it is what it is.”<\/p>\n

LESTER HOLT: The president defended his handling of the COVID disaster, saying of the staggering death toll, quote “it is what it is.”<\/p>\n

LAURA COATES: I guess it is what it is, but it didn\u2019t have to be.<\/p>\n

CHRIS CUOMO: It is what it is. It is a pandemic that you are not doing enough about on purpose.<\/p>\n

BRIAN WILLIAMS: The positively Pescian remark “it is what it is” maybe not the best way to describe a death toll of 150,000.<\/p>\n

RON KLAIN: We certainly didn\u2019t hear FDR tell people just “it is what it is.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>RUSH: Yes, we sure as hell did. What is “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” What the hell is that, if not, “it is what it is.” FDR didn\u2019t start treating everybody like babies. If it isn\u2019t what it is, what is it, then, you people in the media? Norah O\u2019Donnell says, “With more than a thousand Americans dying every day, the president said, “It is what it is.” Then what is it, if it isn\u2019t what it is? Christine Romans, CNN: “President Trump, ‘it is what it is\u2019 approach to the pandemic is divorced from reality.” Oh, no, it is the essence of reality.<\/p>\n

Thousand people dying a day. “It is what it is.” What is he supposed to say? Nothing? What\u2019s the correction? Is he supposed to have tears and say how it tears him up and say so sad and so forth. It was Chris Cuomo you heard say: “It is what it is. It is a pandemic that you are not doing enough about on purpose.”<\/p>\n

So Trump is purposely letting people die now? That\u2019s what they want to say “it is what it is” means? The one guy who has done whatever he thinks necessary to stop this is the guy letting people die on purpose? What are any of these people doing? What\u2019s the governor of Washington, the governor of Oregon, governor of New York, what are they doing to change the course of history? This is absurd. Of course it is what it is. Here\u2019s Carl Bernstein last night on CNN with Fredo prime time. Fredo said, “Look, on the coronavirus and the push for a vaccine, what do you think the play is here, politically?”<\/p>\n

BERNSTEIN: Mitch McConnell understands that this president is not capable of being a fit president of the United States, and it is time, as happened in the Nixon presidency. What happened in the Nixon presidency? A group of Republicans, led by the great conservative Barry Goldwater —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Great conservative. Come on, Carl.<\/p>\n

BERNSTEIN: — and by the Minority Leader of the House and by the Republican leadership marched to the White House and said to Richard Nixon, “You are unfit to remain in office. You must leave the presidency. We will no longer support you.” Something similar has got to happen in some kind of conscience rendering by Republicans to save us and to save lives in this country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Carl, you tell us that he\u2019s gonna lose by double digits. Why the hell force him to resign? Why send the Republicans up there? Let this play out, Carl. Wouldn\u2019t you rather have the guy lose by double digits? Wouldn\u2019t you guys rather have Trump to run against? If Trump is so bad, Trump\u2019s doing everything so wrong, Trump is so insensitive, Trump doesn\u2019t care if people are dying, isn\u2019t he the ideal opponent, Carl? Somebody who can\u2019t win, somebody your own polls tell you is gonna lose by double digits, why do you want him off the ballot, Carl?<\/p>\n

Why, it would seem to me he is the ideal opponent. You are gonna smoke this guy. Biden and you and the rest of you are going to send this guy packing. It isn\u2019t gonna be close. But if you force him out, that means you might have somebody who\u2019s far more intelligent and far more sensitive and far more compassionate. Who knows who the Republicans would nominate. It could be somebody who could actually win, Carl. Then what are you gonna do?<\/p>\n

\"\"You notice Carl referred to Barry Goldwater as a great conservative. Folks, I\u2019m here to tell you that in Carl Bernstein\u2019s world there\u2019s no such thing as a great conservative. But this other thing. Howard Baker did not go up and tell Richard Nixon that he\u2019s unfit to remain in office. That\u2019s not what happened. You notice also that Bernstein, the only thing he can do in his life is relive Watergate. How old is Carl now, 80? (interruption) Whatever it is, there must have been nothing else in his life now that matters. His whole life must have been Watergate, \u2019cause everything that Carl Bernstein thinks, does, or proposes involves repeating Watergate.<\/p>\n

Howard Baker, Tennessee, he went up to the White House and he told Nixon that he had lost the support of Republicans on Capitol Hill, that if the Democrats began impeachment, that he would be impeached and convicted. That\u2019s what they told him. They didn\u2019t go up there and tell him that he\u2019s unfit to remain in office. That wasn\u2019t the message that Howard Baker had. Goldwater was up there, too, but they didn\u2019t say, “You must leave the presidency.” They did say we\u2019ll no longer support you. They did say you\u2019ve lost support up here in your party.<\/p>\n

But this is all wishful thinking. Why in the world — seriously, folks. If Trump is as big a sitting duck, if he is as bad as they say, if he has screwed up so badly, if this guy is such a target, why would you want him off the ballot? Am I wrong about this? If you\u2019re guaranteed, if your own poll says you\u2019re gonna win by double digits, why would you want him off the ballot?<\/p>\n

They\u2019re scared. I\u2019m answering my own question. Folks, they don\u2019t think Trump\u2019s destined to lose. And they certainly don\u2019t think that Biden is destined to win. That\u2019s one of the biggest smoke-and-mirror games that these guys have ever played, that Biden can win this thing and is gonna win by double digits and the American people think Biden is far stronger on dealing with the virus and the economy than Trump, when nobody in this country has any idea what Biden thinks about any of these things \u2019cause he can\u2019t tell anybody what he thinks because he doesn\u2019t know what he thinks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
