Why in the world would the Democrat Party be saying that lockdowns were not necessary? The World Health Organization, all lockdowns unnecessary? World Health Organization making it abundantly clear &#8212; this is a story from yesterday &#8212; WHO now says lockdowns are a bad idea that should be avoided. It hit me. I\u2019ll tell you how it hit me. I\u2019ll give you the thought process here how things work.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I heard Biden hit Trump for destroying the economy. Now, this isn\u2019t new. I just saw something this morning that jogged my memory. Biden has been criticizing Trump for shutting down the country over the coronavirus and creating the economy that we\u2019re in. You know, Biden wants everybody to believe that Trump inherited a roaring and growing economy from Obama and himself.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-368330\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-101320-Biden-OH-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-101320-Biden-OH-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-101320-Biden-OH-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-101320-Biden-OH-1-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>This isn\u2019t true. The economy that Trump inherited was limping along, barely 1% GDP. It was an economy where Obama was telling everybody, get rid of your lofty expectations. Get rid of this notion that your kids are gonna do better than you are. Those days are behind us. We are into a new era of decline, they said. Obama\u2019s exact words. A new era of decline. We are the ones to manage that decline. So Biden\u2019s been out talking about Trump destroying the economy.<\/p>\n<p>So when the World Health Organization comes along and says lockdowns are a bad idea that should be avoided, it\u2019s a direct-aim hit at Donald Trump three weeks before the election. That is what it is. This is in coordination with the Biden campaign. Make no mistake about it. That\u2019s what that hit &#8212; and that\u2019s from yesterday &#8212; is all about. The story about this was yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden slammed President Donald Trump on Saturday for shutting down the economy, a move he himself said he would make if &#8216;scientists\u2019 recommended it. Speaking to a reporter in Erie, Pennsylvania, Biden was asked if he would support a &#8216;nation-wide shutdown,\u2019 and he replied, &#8216;No, look, he\u2019s the guy that shut it down.'&#8221; Not me. I didn\u2019t shut anything done. Trump did.<\/p>\n<p>World Health Organization: &#8220;Hmm. Hmm. Lockdowns are a bad idea. Should be avoided.&#8221; Like they had nothing to do with it. Like the World Health Organization is an innocent bystander here and Donald Trump decided to do this. It will be something similar with the <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2020\/10\/13\/ny-times-thanks-to-trump-pandemic-to-end-far-sooner\/\">&#8220;New York Times [story]: Experts Confident Pandemic To Be Over &#8216;Far Sooner\u2019 Than Expected.&#8221;<\/a> Problem here is that that story credits Trump. &#8220;Trump Efforts &#8216;Working With Remarkable Efficiency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2020\/10\/13\/ny-times-thanks-to-trump-pandemic-to-end-far-sooner\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-368267\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-DAILY-WIRE-Tearaway-101320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-DAILY-WIRE-Tearaway-101320.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-DAILY-WIRE-Tearaway-101320-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-DAILY-WIRE-Tearaway-101320-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>Well, I would bet the same thing is gonna happen here. We\u2019re gonna get stories along the lines that whatever Trump\u2019s done has been unnecessary and that Trump has exerted punishing controls on people and has destroyed their businesses and has come along and made all kinds of unilaterally, dictator-like decisions here that weren\u2019t necessary because experts are confident the pandemic was gonna run its course anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, why do all of this if you really believe you are in the mode of winning in a massive landslide? &#8220;Well, Rush, I mean, you\u2019re not gonna sit on it. You\u2019re not gonna take the chance. You\u2019re not gonna sit on the lead. You gonna double down on it if you were them.&#8221; Yeah, I know, but I know these people too. This is a curious move three weeks out, particularly both of these particular subjects. But we will keep a sharp eye on it \u2019cause it\u2019s fascinating.<\/p>\n<p>Along the lines of this, let me run one other thing by you. You know, we sit here and we constantly make fun of Plugs for not doing any rallies, for nobody showing up at Plugs\u2019 rallies. We make fun of him, we laugh at him. In fact, Plugs did a rally at a drive-in movie theater recently. Thirty cars showed up. Plugs did his little rally out there. I\u2019m looking for the actual story now. I had not intended to get to it at this stage. But, yeah, laugh at it while you envision it.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty cars show up at a drive-in movie theater with Plugs doing some kind of a rally. And we joke that he does these things and we joke that he couldn\u2019t pull off a rally, that if he actually had one, nobody would show up. And that\u2019s why he doesn\u2019t do them. We say things like Biden doesn\u2019t hold political rallies; he has socially distanced functions. Here it is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/12\/biden-speaks-to-30-cars-of-supporters-at-ohio-drive-in-rally\/\">&#8220;Biden Speaks to 30 Cars of Supporters at Ohio &#8216;Drive-In Rally\u2019<\/a> &#8211; Democratic nominee Joe Biden delivered a speech in front of around 30 socially-distanced cars of supporters at a &#8216;drive-in rally\u2019 on Monday in a warring event with Vice President Mike Pence who was also in the Buckeye State.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden gave remarks on the economy in front of United Auto Workers in a half empty Toledo parking lot. I take it back. It wasn\u2019t even a drive-in theater. It was a parking lot. Pence, on the other hand, was speaking to hundreds of supporters in the capital of Columbus.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/12\/biden-speaks-to-30-cars-of-supporters-at-ohio-drive-in-rally\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-368301\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-NY-Post-TEARAWAY-101320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-NY-Post-TEARAWAY-101320.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-NY-Post-TEARAWAY-101320-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-NY-Post-TEARAWAY-101320-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>&#8220;Biden\u2019s 25-minute speech was at times also derailed by supporters of President Trump, who stood on a nearby street corner and loudly chanted &#8216;four more years.'&#8221; In fact, there were more Trump supporters at Plugs\u2019 car rally than there were Biden supporters. Now, that led me to ask a question. We joke about it, but is it really true that if Biden promoted and held a legitimate rally, that he couldn\u2019t get a thousand people to show up or 2,000? Do you think, in other words, and if they really wanted to do a rally, that Biden people could get up a crowd?<\/p>\n<p>I mean, I think they could. They\u2019ve got a people in there. They could pay. They could pay any number of people to show up. They could pay to transport them there. The real issue is if they did that, if they tried to have a genuine rally and they didn\u2019t select or preselect the group and thus didn\u2019t pay anybody, the real issue is who would show up? Who would show up, and what would they do?<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Biden announces a rally. Biden\u2019s advance team goes to wherever this rally is gonna be. They work the local area, and they promote it, and they do everything they can to get people to show up. And you know if there\u2019s a TV camera anywhere, people will show up in droves hoping to be on TV.<\/p>\n<p>Well, maybe the Biden people don\u2019t want the people that would show up at one of Biden\u2019s rallies. Maybe they\u2019re scared to death of who that is. Maybe the real issue is who would show up, and what would they do when they got there? Would they be wearing all black and carrying Antifa flags? Would they be showing up, Black Lives Matter? How would you keep \u2019em out? You couldn\u2019t say we\u2019re doing a rally but those of you in Antifa, Black Lives Matter, please sit this out, do a favor for all of us and don\u2019t show up.<\/p>\n<p>You know what would happen? They\u2019d show up in even greater numbers. Would they end up booing Biden? Could Biden even be heard over the racket they would make? Would they actually riot? Would they set fires? Would they set off little smoke bombs and stuff? Would they beat each other up? Would it be a gay pride parade, a transgender combo gay pride parade? Would all the women showing up, would they wear vagina hats?<\/p>\n<p>I mean, look at who shows up at hastily arranged, no thought given to it Democrat rallies. It\u2019s not the kind of picture you want if you\u2019re trying to pass yourself off as the president and the candidate of a majority of the average American. We\u2019re the deplorables, right? They weren\u2019t. We\u2019re the deplorables. The deplorables are who would show up at a Biden rally. Do you think this could be one of the reasons they actually don\u2019t do it?<\/p>\n<p>Is it really because Biden thinks he\u2019s gotta hide behind the virus? Is it really because Biden fears the virus, he\u2019s gotta hide, he\u2019s gotta wear the mask? The 20,000 that showed up in Sanford, Florida, last night &#8212; we\u2019ve got a great couple of videos on our Twitter page of the people that showed up at the Trump rally last night. They\u2019re great. They\u2019re fabulous. These people, you know, I was once again watching this. Who are these people?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-368114\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-101220-Biden-event-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-101220-Biden-event-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-101220-Biden-event-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-101220-Biden-event-2-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>They show up, they\u2019re there all day hoping to get in, hoping for just a chance to see the president. And the time comes, and they are perfectly well behaved. I think Biden has to hide behind the virus. I think Biden has to hide behind his base. The people come to a rally are not the kind of people they want us seeing.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So I have here a question, email question from a doubting listener. &#8220;Dear Mr. Know-It-All: With your theory that they\u2019re getting ready to blame Trump for the economy and the shutdown because he did it and the World Health Organization says that lockdowns were not necessary, with that theory, how can they blame Trump for the lockdown and listening to the scientists without also laying huge blame on Cuomo, that Looney Tune governor in Michigan, Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, and every other Democrat governor that refused to open back up? How do they not get blamed for it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re not getting blamed now. Have you noticed? They\u2019re not getting blamed for the rioting. And as far as anybody knows, Governor Cuomo had nothing to do with sending seasoned citizens to the nursing homes. He had nothing to do with it. He didn\u2019t do it. He had nothing to do with these lockdowns. These were federal government policies, Cuomo\u2019s out there saying. You think they can\u2019t make that case with the media helping them along?<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me grab a call in here before we have to run out of time. Linda in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It\u2019s great to have you here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh, it\u2019s great to be on with you. Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you so much for taking my call. I wanted to say it\u2019s my double Rush day. I just ordered the <a href=\"https:\/\/rushlimbaughshowstore.com\/\">Rush Revere books<\/a> for my grandchildren this morning, and now I get to talk to you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: God bless you. How old are your grandkids?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: How old are they?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: They are 12, 9, 8, 7 &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rushrevere.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-293611\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/APP-Rush-Revere.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/APP-Rush-Revere.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/APP-Rush-Revere-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>RUSH: Okay, good.

We got a bunch of stuff we love to send people like you from the Revere neighborhood so that you can give to your grandkids.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Awe, thank you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It\u2019s wonderful little stuff. Liberty dolls. So don\u2019t hang up when we finish.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay, I won\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What was your point? What did you want to say?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I wanted to say, when I was listening to you, part of me &#8212; I believe that the WHO is believing the polls that Biden will win, and they\u2019re setting the stage to say that the economy can open up immediately for the Biden White House. The coronavirus will be behind us, and away they\u2019ll be able to go.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, so you think they\u2019re making an advance move here by clearing the decks, saying the economy is gonna be off and running when Biden assumes offices, everything\u2019s okay, fine and dandy, that\u2019s their move here?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s what I think.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Look. I am the one who has inspired people to think because I\u2019ve told people I love hearing how people think. And I do. I marvel at the way people think and theorize because I am the one who has inspired it. And so all kinds of theories are developing to explain this. I\u2019m glad to hear yours, Linda. Thank you. Don\u2019t hang up now. Gotta go. We\u2019re out of time for this. We\u2019ll get your address and get you some goodies.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, no, no, no. I just checked the email during the break. No, I\u2019ve not forgotten something crucial about why Biden doesn\u2019t do appearances. I was just thinking about another aspect of it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. Let\u2019s see. Yeah, let me get this out of the way \u2019cause had some snarky emails. &#8220;Rush, are you telling me that that\u2019s the only reason you think Biden isn\u2019t doing events is because he\u2019s afraid of the riffraff that might show up?&#8221; No, no, no. There\u2019s another reason, and that is Biden doesn\u2019t know where he is a lot of the time. It\u2019s a risk. There are a lot of reasons for Joe Biden to hide. He\u2019s senile. We saw this yesterday. He forgot Romney\u2019s name. Forgot his religion. He\u2019s forgetting all kinds of things.<\/p>\n<p>His base is totally insane. And to have those people show up, have those images on TV and Twitter would be damaging. But the main reason I wanted to make the point, I think they could draw the crowds if they wanted to, but they don\u2019t want the crowds to be seen, is my point. Because on the contrast, the Trump rallies, the images of the Trump rallies, my God. Folks, they are they are Americana. They are uplifting. These are the people who make America work. They spend the day getting to where these rallies are going to be without assurances they\u2019re going to get in.<\/p>\n<p>They are just gorgeous. It\u2019s why the networks do not cover them. The rallies that Trump hosts are compelling, and they\u2019re happy. The people that attend the Trump rallies are happy. And they can\u2019t let that be seen, they can\u2019t have that leak out because the image that they are portraying is that Trump\u2019s miserable, his supporters are miserable, they know they\u2019re heading for a landslide defeat. And they\u2019re not gonna get those pictures. Trump supporters do not believe that, so they\u2019re not acting that way.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s a headline. This is from a British internet magazine called Spiked, and it is, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiked-online.com\/2020\/10\/12\/why-has-google-censored-the-great-barrington-declaration\/\">&#8220;Why Has Google Censored The Great Barrington Declaration?&#8221;<\/a> You\u2019re probably asking, what is the Great Barrington Declaration? But this is how the mainstream media censors news. It counters their narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Google is burying the Great Barrington Declaration from its search results. Now, the Great Barrington Declaration is a petition that was written by eminent scientists and doctors from Oxford in the U.K. 60 miles from London. Stanford, Harvard. It calls for an end to COVID-19 lockdowns. This story is actually a companion with the piece that we have today, &#8220;New York Times: Experts Confident Pandemic To Be Over &#8216;Far Sooner\u2019 Than Expected, Trump Efforts &#8216;Working With Remarkable Efficiency.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiked-online.com\/2020\/10\/12\/why-has-google-censored-the-great-barrington-declaration\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-368373\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-tearaway-SPIKED-101320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-tearaway-SPIKED-101320.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-tearaway-SPIKED-101320-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-tearaway-SPIKED-101320-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>In case you missed the first hour, this is it. &#8220;New York Times: Experts Confident Pandemic To Be Over &#8216;Far Sooner\u2019 Than Expected.&#8221; How the hell do they expect to gain political points out of this? Well, they do. I guarantee you, whatever it is, they do. &#8220;Trump Efforts &#8216;Working With Remarkable Efficiency.'&#8221; How so? Okay. So that\u2019s one of the mysteries of the day.<\/p>\n<p>So given that, the Great Barrington Declaration, scientists and doctors, Oxford, Stanford, Harvard calling for an end to COVID lockdowns. The authors say the lockdowns are doing irreparable damage and having devastating effects on short- and long-term public health. They\u2019re not even talking about the economy here. They\u2019re just talking about public health. The same thing the World Health Organization\u2019s now saying. The petition has had 12,000 signatures so far from health experts from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, I wonder if Twitter will apologize to President Trump for labeling his posts about being &#8220;COVID-free and immune&#8221; misinformation. Now that we have his doctor saying that Trump was and is COVID-free and immune. Anyway, it\u2019s the British magazine Spiked that this story is from. Why would they be spiking it now? There\u2019s no need to. Everybody is saying no need to lockdown, no need to shut down.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Lois. Lois in Abbeville, South Carolina. Great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hello, Rush. Prayers from South Carolina for you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You are quite welcome. I have a possible reason for people not coming to see the sightings of Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: He visited Abbeville, I don\u2019t know when. I\u2019m thinking maybe it was back in February, and nobody knew about it. There was no advance, there was no advertising, neither I nor any of my friends knew about it.

He came to a little restaurant in Abbeville. At least that\u2019s what my daughter told me. My daughter called me from New Jersey and told me about it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, but nobody knew?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No. Nobody knew. Nobody knew. Now, if you don\u2019t know, how are you gonna go? I mean, I wouldn\u2019t go see him, but if you don\u2019t know, how are you going to go and be there? That\u2019s a possibility for nobody being at his sightings.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That nobody tells anybody?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that still is why. If he\u2019s gonna go to a pet store in Abbeville, South Carolina, why not tell anybody? What\u2019s the point of sneaking in to the hardware store, the pet store in Abbeville and not tell anybody? Still the same question. You got a photo-op with no people and no questions.<\/p>\n<p>What good is a photo-op with no people? (interruption) Oh, come on. Are you telling me that Plugs will pull out the photo from the puppy mill in Abbeville, South Carolina, and he will say, &#8220;I was here, I was at your place, and people didn\u2019t come up and say hi to me \u2019cause they were busy working, but I want you to know I was there?&#8221; (interruption) Oh, come on. You think that it\u2019s a selling point to say he left his basement and he went to the pet supply store in Abbeville, South Carolina, nobody saw him, and he says that as positive PR?
