I hate to be an &#8220;I told you so,&#8221; but I knew this was gonna happen. I wanted to get here today. I wanted to beat Biden to the punch, but I was unable to do it because Biden went out there before the program started. He just finished. These guys have more sensitivity to what\u2019s on this program than Republicans do, I\u2019m telling you. Anyway, I told you I\u2019d be here today, folks, and here we are, Rush Limbaugh, behind the Golden EIB Microphone. Three hours of broadcast excellence straight ahead. The telephone number\u2019s 800-282-2882. The email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-373025 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/BIDENCOVIDSPEECH-e1604946275729.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"594\" height=\"381\"><\/p>\n<p>So, there\u2019s Joe Biden, who thinks he\u2019s been elected president, and he hasn\u2019t been yet. He has not been elected president. There hasn\u2019t been a certified vote yet. Media networks do not proclaim &#8212; well, they can proclaim, but they do not determine &#8212; who presidents are, and he is not president yet. But he\u2019s acting like it.<\/p>\n<p>Man, was this guy sad. Man, is this guy just apocalyptic and down in the dumps. So he said today that he was gonna meet with his new COVID advisory board. And they were gonna finally get serious on dealing with the pandemic because, as you know, not a single thing up to now has been serious about COVID. Nah, because Trump has been running it. Of course, that means we can\u2019t take anything seriously \u2019cause Trump is an incompetent boob, doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s been doing.<\/p>\n<p>So, I just wanted to warn everybody here that we are on the verge of, you know, we\u2019re gonna get the Biden COVID vaccine, we\u2019re gonna get the Biden economic recovery, we\u2019re gonna get the Biden this and the Biden that, everything that needs to be fixed, everything that needs to be ramped up, everything needs to be resolved is going to be said by the media to have been resolved by Biden.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re gonna be hearing about the COVID Biden vaccine. We\u2019re gonna be hearing about the Biden economic recovery. We\u2019re gonna be hearing about the Biden end to looting and arson. All of this, I just want you to be ready for it. I wanted to get here and have a chance to say this before Biden, but Biden knows the drill more than Republicans do. He knew to beat this program to the punch on that.<\/p>\n<p>But it doesn\u2019t matter. What he said, if you\u2019re just joining us, if you missed what he said &#8212; and I don\u2019t blame you, folks. I know that more and more of you are just tuning media out. And I totally understand, including Fox News, I totally understand that. If there was ever a day, if there was ever a time for devout, exclusive listening to the EIB Network, then today it is.<\/p>\n<p>So, there\u2019s Biden, and I\u2019m watching this. And his overall demeanor is one of great sadness. He\u2019s very down in the dumps, very, very disappointed. And it\u2019s all an act, of course. It\u2019s designed to convey the seriousness and the sadness that is associated with COVID-19. And the sum total of the Biden COVID plan is you will wear a mask. You\u2019re gonna wear a mask, folks.<\/p>\n<p>A mask is magic. A mask, said Joe Biden, is not political. No, no, no, no. If we all wear a mask, why, we\u2019re gonna bring our country together. Oh, yeah. We are going to unify. If everybody just wears the mask, why, we are in fat city. We\u2019re gonna fix it all. We\u2019re gonna fix everything Donald Trump broke. We are going to reunite. We are going to bring the country back together. And in the process of wearing a mask, guess what you\u2019re doing? You\u2019re giving something back.<\/p>\n<p>You notice the left always thinks that you, the people that make the country work, always have something to give back. They never think that the rioters and the looters have anything to give back, though. But you do. Somehow you owe. You owe the country. According to todays Democrat Party and the left, you need to give something back. And so you can do that by wearing a mask. If you would just wear a mask, why, it\u2019s magic what would happen. We\u2019d all come together and we would all make statements that are not political.<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s just a disappointing tragedy what has happened here. And I\u2019ll tell you what needs to be the focus. Yeah. This is such great news. You see what happened with Dow futures today? And now the stock market\u2019s up 1200 points. The futures were up 1200 points because Pfizer stated their vaccine is 90% effective, and let me tell you something. Joe Biden had nothing to do with the vaccine, but he\u2019s gonna get credit for it. It\u2019s going to be the Biden vaccine. He had nothing to do with it.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat Party should get no credit whatsoever. They have been berating the vaccine. They have been suggesting that it\u2019s false, they have been suggesting that Trump is lying about it, that it is not gonna be ready in time, and even if it is, it isn\u2019t gonna work. They\u2019ve been irresponsibly ripping the vaccine institutionally. They have been suggesting to people that if Trump is responsible for it, they can\u2019t trust it. Trump doesn\u2019t make it. Trump\u2019s not a scientist in a laboratory wearing a white coat or a blue coat making a vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>This is Pfizer, this is Johnson &amp; Johnson, this is BioNTech &#8212; all reputed scientific companies &#8212; and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have both been denigrating the entire concept of a vaccine because Trump would be behind it or because Trump would benefit from it. They have been actively trying to persuade people not to take it.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Cuomo, too, because Trump has been&#8230; People are irresponsible. So now we\u2019ve got the announcement from Pfizer that their vaccine is 90% effective. This causes the stock market to jump an incredible amount. The president\u2019s said time after time that vaccines were coming. The Democrats said that he was a liar, that if such a vaccine was ready, they wouldn\u2019t trust it because he was behind it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-356089\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-071420-Cuomo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-071420-Cuomo.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-071420-Cuomo-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-071420-Cuomo-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And now, my, how things have changed. We\u2019ve got the so-called president-elect Joe Biden, and all is well. CNN\u2019s even stopped the COVID-19 countdown. I have it right here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. Monday, November 2nd, 10:30 a.m., here\u2019s the CNN screenshot: Coronavirus pandemic globally total cases in the United States, total cases, total deaths.<\/p>\n<p>One week later, November 9th, 2020, 10:30 a.m., a screen grab of CNN\u2019s main page. Not a single mention of coronavirus! We told you that coronavirus was going to vanish after the election, and it has. We didn\u2019t tell you the virus itself was going to vanish. Don\u2019t confuse things. We didn\u2019t say they were gonna do&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We said it was gonna stop being a big issue. And why is it gonna stop being a big issue? Because they don\u2019t want to lay it off on Biden. We\u2019re gonna have a cure. We\u2019re gonna have a vaccine. It\u2019s gonna be the Biden vaccine, not the Trump vaccine. Biden did all this magically while sequestered in his basement.<\/p>\n<p>We told you, &#8220;After the election, the virus is going to be way, way diminished,&#8221; and so it has been, starting out in the pages of the Drive-By Media and also their television screens. It\u2019s just amazing. In a so-called President-elect Biden world, all is well. Utopia has arrived! Vaccines? Vaccines? Why, we\u2019re gonna be able to trust them now!<\/p>\n<p>Except Andrew Cuomo says, &#8220;No! Unless we can get this vaccine out of Trump\u2019s hands and transfer it to Biden\u2019s, we still shouldn\u2019t trust it.&#8221; It\u2019s all about whether they succeed in persuading people that Biden had more to do with the creating and the shepherding of the vaccine than Trump did.<\/p>\n<p>So the Dow futures were up 1200 points. Pfizer, BioNTech, COVID-19 vaccine: 90% effective.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Steve in Las Vegas as we get to the phones. I\u2019m glad you called, sir. Great to have you. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, God bless you for good health. I\u2019m rooting for you big time.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-346756\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Audio-Technician-Covid-19-Sample-Coronavirus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Audio-Technician-Covid-19-Sample-Coronavirus.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Audio-Technician-Covid-19-Sample-Coronavirus-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Audio-Technician-Covid-19-Sample-Coronavirus-480x288.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>CALLER: That\u2019s first of all. Secondly: So, we have a major coincidence that a week after an election, all of a sudden Pfizer has discovered a vaccine that\u2019s 90% effective. They had absolutely no idea about this before the election?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Uh, yeah, they did. There\u2019s nothing suspicious about this.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Really?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No. Trump has been &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You don\u2019t believe they were working in concert?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, no, no. Trump has been promising this. Trump has been suggesting that we\u2019re on the verge of a vaccine. He was hoping to have it announced beforehand, but he knew that wasn\u2019t gonna be the case, and he told us. He knew they were close. He\u2019s been talking Pfizer. He\u2019s been talking Johnson &amp; Johnson. I can understand your suspicion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Okay. Now the election is decided and here comes the announcement, the official announcement? They couldn\u2019t make the announcement before?&#8221; That\u2019s what you\u2019re suspend about. But the fact that this has been done, there\u2019s nothing suspicious about the achievement. What you\u2019re curious about here is the timing, and you\u2019re correct about that. Anyway, I\u2019m glad you called.<\/p>\n<p>Do not misunderstand me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: So, there&#039;s Joe Biden, who thinks he&#039;s been elected president, and he hasn&#039;t been yet.
