Something as big as Ebola is not gonna miss New York.  (interruption)  No, no, no, no, no, I\u2019m not laughing about it.  I don\u2019t mean to sound like I\u2019m laughing about this terrible turn of events, but I am shaking my head in disgust.  &#8220;There\u2019s nothing to worry about.  Don\u2019t sweat it.  We don\u2019t need to shut down flights from these nations in Africa.  It\u2019s not a problem.

We don\u2019t have a terrorism problem in America.  What do you mean, kids want to join?  They\u2019re just acting out.  We don\u2019t have anything to worry about.  Just ask Alfred E. Neuman, who sits in the White House, in the Oval Office.  What, me worry?  Nothing at all to worry about whatsoever.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: New York, Ebola, a doctor traveling back from Africa.  He was fully equipped and outfitted to avoid contracting the disease, and now we have another case of Ebola that has nothing to do with Thomas Duncan.  The other previous cases were all related to him, but this case has nothing to do with Thomas Duncan.  But don\u2019t sweat it.  Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites.  Here\u2019s Dr. Mary Travis Bassett, last night at Bellevue hospital during a press conference to talk about Dr. Craig Spencer.  He\u2019s 33, and she\u2019s the health commissioner in New York City, and this is a portion of what she said.<\/p>\n<p>BASSETT:  We are aware that he went on a three mile jog, a sign that he was feeling quite well, and he also took the subway system.  We know that he\u2019s ridden on the A train, the number one train, the L train.  We\u2019re still getting more information about this, but we know that yesterday that he went to a bowling alley in Williamsburg.  He was feeling well at that time, except for his feelings of fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, fine and dandy.  Nothing to see here, except for the fatigue.  Just a little problem with fatigue but nothing to see here, folks.  We know he rode the A train and took the L train, more information about this, but we know that he went to a bowling alley in Williamsburg and he was feeling okay at the time, so nothing to worry about.  And that\u2019s what the mayor, Mr. de Blasio, is also trying to convey.<\/p>\n<p>DE BLASIO:  We want to state at the outset there is no reason for New Yorkers to be alarmed.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  See?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_97795\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CuomoDopey_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>DE BLASIO:  Ebola is an extremely hard disease to contract.  It is transmitted only through contact with an infected person\u2019s blood or other bodily fluids, not through casual contact.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Right.<\/p>\n<p>DE BLASIO:  New Yorkers who have not been exposed to an infected person\u2019s bodily fluids are not at all at risk.  We\u2019ve been preparing for months for the threat posed by Ebola.  We have clear and strong protocols which are being scrupulously followed and were followed in this instance.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_97791\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/BOOKCuomo.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  And Governor Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo, still <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8040\">hasn\u2019t reached the thousand mark yet in sales of his memoirs, still at 975<\/a>, I believe, after the first week.  They might have found some union people to pick up the slack, though, the way Fort Worthless Jim did. Fort Worthless Jim Wright, the former Speaker of the House in Texas, he wrote a book, and it was so good, it was so powerful, some pages only had two words. They had to find a way to make it reach 200 pages.  It turns out that his union buddies ended up buying a hundred thousand copies, and that\u2019s how he got it on the list.  Nobody wanted it, and so far nobody is buying Governor Cuomo\u2019s book. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>My whole point here is, in stressing this again, is we live in a world where these are the people that we\u2019re told are the rock stars. These are the kids in the big clique that are all popular, the Cuomos, the de Blasios, you name it, the Harry Reids, the Nancy Pelosis. Yeah, the people of this country admire \u2019em, they look up to \u2019em, and none of \u2019em sell any books.  Hillary didn\u2019t sell any books, especially against that $14 million advance. <\/p>\n<p>My only point again in reminding you of this is that concomitantly while they try to make you believe that you\u2019re laughed at and a laughingstock and a jerk and whatever, and these are the really cool kids, they\u2019re not.  Not even sold a thousand copies.  Andrew Cuomo, the son of Mario the Pious, the former governor of New York.  Anyway, he had to get in on this too and assure the people of his state that it\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n<p>CUOMO:  We have had a full coordinated effort that has been working literally night and day, coordinating city, state, and federal resources, coordinating and drilling from airports to transportations to subway stations to ambulances, to hospitals. So we are as ready as one could be for this circumstance.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Comforting.  People in New York I\u2019m sure are very assured.  On the Today show today Matt Lauer interviewed Governor Cuomo and said, &#8220;If you\u2019re this doctor and you\u2019re so familiar with the disease &#8212; I mean, you\u2019ve been treating Ebola patients in Guinea. You come back to America, you ride the subway, you take your Uber car, you go to a bowling alley. Do you think this doctor, Mr. Cuomo, did he act responsibly here?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CUOMO:  Look, I\u2019m not a doctor, Matt. But the flip side of what you just said is: If you\u2019re a doctor, you know you\u2019re not contagious until you\u2019re symptomatic.  This is a doctor who\u2019s taking his temperature twice a day, and obviously concluded that he was not symptomatic, and that\u2019s why he went out &#8212; still in a limited way.  He went bowling with two friends, he was with his fiancee, and he took the subway. But he obviously felt he wasn\u2019t symptomatic. He knew that was the only time he was contagious.  As soon as he had a fever, he presented himself, uh, to the hospital.  All the procedures (from) there on were exactly according to the book.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_97786\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/EbolaRushEbolaphobe2.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Now, fine.  We\u2019ll have to wait and see.  But I do have a question.  This is a doctor in Guinea.  He got to Guinea.  He came home from Guinea.  Now, the director of the CDC, Dr. Frieden, has told us that we can\u2019t stop these flights. We can\u2019t do any of this because these people &#8212; our health workers &#8212; wouldn\u2019t be able to get there. They wouldn\u2019t be able to get home if we stopped flights from coming in. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>This sort of disproves all of this, which is happening frequently.  This is the problem.  Okay, we\u2019ll wait and see.  We hope they\u2019re right.  We hope their assurances are solid and that this is handled and that there hasn\u2019t been any spread.  It\u2019s encouraging that the second nurse is now Ebola free. The press conference was with her moments ago. But Governor Cuomo was not finished.  He had just a little bit more to say.<\/p>\n<p>CUOMO:  We\u2019ve been in contact with the federal officials. President Obama called last night, Ron Klain, the new Ebola czar. Uh, Sylvia Burwell, uh, head of Health and Human Services. Uh, so everything worked the way it should.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You see, folks?<\/p>\n<p>CUOMO:  And our hope and our belief &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Stop the tape.  This is exactly my point. So they made some phone calls and problem solved.  &#8220;Yeah, we called Ron Klain,&#8221; Ron Klain, who has no qualifications whatsoever to be Ebola czar, and who has yet to show up to an Ebola meeting. &#8220;But we got a phone call; we solved the problem.  And guess what?  We called Obama! When you call Obama, you really fixed it.  I mean, that\u2019s solving the problem.  So we called Obama. We called <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8078\">Ron Klain, the czar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8078\"><img id=\"eZObject_97792\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/EBOLA-CZAR-2.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#8220;We called Sylvia Burwell, Health and Human Services. So everything worked out, and that\u2019s why the sea levels are gonna continue to recede \u2019cause Obama said they were when he was in Minneapolis.&#8221; This is the way they look at things.  All they\u2019ve gotta do is say they called somebody, made a speech, and problem solved &#8212; and that\u2019s why people aren\u2019t assured. That\u2019s why they\u2019re not gonna be assured until the passage of time occurs and we actually see evidence that what they\u2019ve said here can be trusted.<\/p>\n<p>Now, on Good Morning America today, Robin Roberts spoke with the chief health and medical editor at ABC &#8212; his name is Richard Besser &#8212; about the New York City Ebola case.  She said, &#8220;Look, this doctor was in Africa; came back. He has Ebola here.  How do you address the concerns of people about the border in all of this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BESSER:  Some people are saying, &#8220;This is proof we should close our border.&#8221; I think it\u2019s the exact opposite.  It\u2019s proof that until we knock this out of West Africa, we\u2019re gonna see more disease here and we have to have more Dr. Spencers helping out over there.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  And, you see, that\u2019s sort of irrefutable logic, right?  &#8220;Shutting down flights from Africa? Why, that\u2019s no way to stop the spread of disease, and this case kind of proves it.&#8221; (chuckles) It does?  It proves that if we shut down flights from, say, Guinea, that Ebola would get here?  Well, the fact is he didn\u2019t shut down flights, and Ebola is here. <\/p>\n<p>Yet they continue to say this.  And, again, the sole reason for it is amnesty.  They cannot do one thing&#8230; They can\u2019t intimate, they can\u2019t imply, they can\u2019t suggest, they can\u2019t even get near a serious discussion of closing borders, airports, flights. Because in mere weeks, Obama is gonna amnesty a bunch of illegal immigrants and keep the border open for even more. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Now, the CDC claims that they had everything in place to handle a doctor, an infected doctor arriving back in the United States from an Ebola-infested country.  Now, according to a CDC press release on Wednesday, October 22nd, quote, &#8220;Six states,&#8221; including New York, &#8220;have already taken steps to plan and implement active post-arrival monitoring which will begin on Monday, October 27th.&#8221;  This is the 24th.  By their own admission, the plan they had to implement doesn\u2019t start until Monday. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Under active post-arrival monitoring, travelers without febrile illness or symptoms consistent with Ebola will be followed daily by state and local health departments for 21 days from the date of their departure from West Africa.  So if this had been in place &#8212; and you may think this is a fine point, but these are the institutions that we\u2019ve had to trust. We\u2019ve had the governor saying, &#8220;We called Klain! We called the czar. We called the president. We called HHS. We called everybody.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_97796\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ebolabiohazard_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>&#8220;Problem solved! Everybody\u2019s up to speed; our protocols are being implemented.&#8221; But they\u2019re not.  The protocols were not going to be implemented until Monday.  If they had been in place, Dr. Spencer\u2019s condition might have been caught earlier, and he wouldn\u2019t have been on the A train. He wouldn\u2019t have been on the L train. He wouldn\u2019t have been in the bowling alley in Williamsburg if their protocols were in place like they said they were. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Yet their own press release on this says they\u2019re not gonna implement them until Monday, October 27th.  He might have had less opportunity to expose other people.  Now, you might think I\u2019m nitpicking and make a fine point out of this.  That\u2019s not my intention.  They\u2019re asking us to trust them, which is all we can do outside of become hermits and recluses &#8212; which, of course, I have no problem being.  But other people don\u2019t want to do that if they don\u2019t have to. <\/p>\n<p>When the mayor, the governor and the CDC director tell you that it\u2019s hard to get, you can\u2019t get it, and, &#8220;Our protocols are in place&#8221; when their protocols aren\u2019t in place, it\u2019s like Reagan said about the old Soviets: &#8220;Trust but verify.&#8221; Now we may be on the verge here of what I will call &#8220;Ebola Without Borders.&#8221;  How uncanny or ironic is it that a guy from Doctors Without Borders ends up bringing Ebola to New York City, since arguably Obama\u2019s policy of a nation without borders brought it here in the first place? <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s see, we have Doctors Without Borders. We have Ebola Without Borders, and now we have a nation without borders &#8212; and the key to all this is: No borders. Yet everything\u2019s gonna be fine.  It\u2019s this idiotic, simple-minded, bizarre notion that if we shut down flights from these countries, it means we shut down aid flights. If we shut down flights from Africa then we are shutting down our opportunity to help people in Africa?  How does that work?  It doesn\u2019t work!<\/p>\n<p>Think about all the places the United States sends aid to in disasters or emergencies, tsunamis and this kind of thing. We send emergency aid. We send food. We send medicine. We\u2019ve gone to Afghanistan, to Manila after a tsunami, to Japan after their nuclear meltdowns, to Rwanda and Somalia. We go everywhere!  How is shutting flights down from three or four nations in Africa gonna stop that?  Are there commercial flights out of any of those places at those times?  No. <\/p>\n<p>Yet somehow our C-140s and our mighty Navy manage to give billions of dollars in aid and send thousands of American relief workers to these places whenever we have to.  How is it that all of a sudden now, if we restrict flights from arriving, we can no longer spread disaster relief around?  It doesn\u2019t make sense! And I tell you, again, it\u2019s all because no matter what, you cannot take the politics out of anything that happens because any event is going to be politicized and massaged and used to the benefit of the Democrat Party agenda, including this. <\/p>\n<p>And right now the big agenda item is amnesty and Obama\u2019s green cards for nine million to 34 million illegals, and if this government makes any step towards shutting down flights, shutting down borders, then it becomes problematic.  Then they have basically admitted that it makes sense to do it.  And it would give them credibility problems if they keep the border open for illegals in another part of the country. So that\u2019s why. <\/p>\n<p>So we, the people of this country, are being indoctrinated to the political agenda of the president and his party, even when it comes to Ebola.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is Matt, Fairfax, Virginia.  I really appreciate your patience, and welcome to the program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Mega Nero Wolfe dittos, Rush.  I appreciate you answering.  I\u2019ve got a point to make.  Assuming this physician followed all the strict isolation rules in trying to prevent him getting the disease, I\u2019m sure he followed every guideline and every directive &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You would think.  You would. I mean, this &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  You would.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_97838\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/EbolaFlights_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  He\u2019s 33 years old; he\u2019s a doctor. He was in Guinea, I think, right?  You would think he would take every precaution.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  That brings me to two points.  One, I really do think there should be restrictions.  I mean, even the Department of Defense has a smallpox response plan for smallpox written in 2002, even after the smallpox was, quote, &#8220;eradicated&#8221; in 1980. And it goes into isolation and quarantine guidelines, travel restrictions. You\u2019re not supposed to travel 20 minutes from your house. You\u2019re not supposed to go to any large areas, buses, airplanes, crowded facilities, et cetera, et cetera.  We\u2019re doing our country a disservice by not having such a guideline for Ebola. I mean, we really should be a lot more organized. We should be a lot more prepared for this. I mean, even the CDC says that the Ebola virus was found to be spread through airborne particles in the (unintelligible) plant, and they are quick to note that it had not been documented amongst humans, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not gonna happen.  And we\u2019re playing Russian roulette by allowing people to travel.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, it\u2019s clear the United States, whether by accident or by design, has become a laboratory for this.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Because we don\u2019t know.  There\u2019s a lot we don\u2019t know that we now are going to find out one way or another.  Now, you mentioned smallpox.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  A lot of people &#8212; I\u2019m gonna take a stab here and say that a lot of people do not remember or maybe know the real dangers of smallpox because it has been eradicated. There is a vaccine for it, but if there were ever a smallpox outbreak that was immune to this vaccine, we\u2019re talking a disaster that you don\u2019t even want to contemplate.  And smallpox is more communicable, I think, than even what they\u2019re saying Ebola is, and the only reason&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8140\">I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago<\/a>.  I\u2019m reading one of the best books I\u2019ve ever read. It is called <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1439177724?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=theofficiw0c2-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=1439177724\">I Am Pilgrim<\/a>, and it\u2019s the first novel by an Australian named Terry Hayes, and it\u2019s about an educated Islamist from Saudi Arabia who has been radicalized by the Saudi royal family.  He was a Muslim to begin with, but his father was beheaded.  This is in the novel.  His father was beheaded by the Saudi government for simply speaking out against the king, and that can get you beheaded in Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8140\"><img id=\"eZObject_97836\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/BOOKS4.jpg\"\/><\/a>And his son becomes the radical Islamist who trains to be a doctor. He does not look anything like a terrorist, as people think terrorists appear.  He\u2019s refined, he\u2019s sophisticated, he\u2019s educated, but he wants to wipe out America because he blames America for supporting and propping up the royal family in Saudi Arabia. So the short version of this book &#8212; and it\u2019s great to read. <\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t want to give it all away from you, and I haven\u2019t finished it yet so I don\u2019t know the end, but what happens is that this radical Saudi Arabian doctor finds a genetic way to alter the vaccine and make it useless.  He tests it on three people in the Hindu Kush.  And in the novel it\u2019s very apparent that it\u2019s not hard to get this disease at all, particularly in a closed circumstance where you want the disease to spread. <\/p>\n<p>He ends up having a whole bunch of the smallpox virus that ends up being shipped to the United States where there is supposed to be an outbreak, and I haven\u2019t finished this. We\u2019ve got all this vaccine. You\u2019re right, caller. We have vaccine out the wazoo here.  The story in this book is that it\u2019s been genetically altered. The smallpox virus itself has been genetically altered to resist the vaccine, and it would cause utter disaster.  And that\u2019s the fear with Ebola.  You can look at Africa. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got now up to 8,000 cases and a little more than 50% of the people have died.  And yet there is no concerted effort to prevent travel from those nations to America.  And a lot of people just don\u2019t understand it.  It doesn\u2019t make any sense.  And this has led to me, your beloved host, being misquoted all over CNN.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, they\u2019ve now spread this misquote to their website.  And I know why they did it.  Nobody watches! I happened to call \u2019em on it, and that caused new eyeballs to tune in. So they\u2019re happy to run a total lie about something I said on their air and on their website because it might generate audience. <\/p>\n<p>So I haven\u2019t talked about it since that first time.  But it was something that happened on CNN that caused my reaction. Some author, some Ebola expert, in explaining why we cannot prevent flights from Africa from landing in America is because &#8212; well, it\u2019s kind of our fault.<\/p>\n<p>He said, Liberia &#8212; which is one of the nations in Africa where the outbreak has been intense. Liberia exists because of American slavery, and this author said (summarized), &#8220;We can\u2019t turn our backs.  We cannot turn our backs!&#8221; Well, what does that mean?  Does it we have to leave airports open?  What does it mean, &#8220;We can\u2019t turn our backs&#8221;? <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not turning our backs.  We\u2019re sending medical personnel over there to help; we have sent that serum that\u2019s made from the Kentucky tobacco plant.  We\u2019re not turning our backs.  Does it mean we\u2019ve got to keep our airports open?  Does it mean that it\u2019s unfair they have Ebola and we don\u2019t, since they are there because of us in the first place?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s this convoluted thinking, politically correct and otherwise, that is famous; the left is famous for it.  So you\u2019re sitting there, and you think, &#8220;Well, if you\u2019re looking out for America, which what the president\u2019s supposed to do, then you would take steps to make sure that what happened in New York didn\u2019t happen.&#8221; A doctor is not supposed to come back here with this disease. <\/p>\n<p>And we\u2019re told we got protocols in place, except we learned today that the New York City CDC protocols don\u2019t go into effect until Monday.  The doctor came back before they\u2019d be implemented.  It\u2019s right there in the memo, Monday, October 27th.  Now, they\u2019re up there talking about, the officials are, &#8220;We\u2019ve done everything we could do. We\u2019ve done everything according to book. We\u2019ve done everything right.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>And they may have.  But their own protocols for eliminating or preventing this are not even in effect yet, and that\u2019s how the doctor got in.  Now, I\u2019m not dumping on the doctor.  He may not have known.  Same thing with Thomas Duncan &#8212; although he did know. The patient zero from Liberia, he got on the plane knowing he was infected. The doctor, he thought he took every step, every precaution.  But he still got it. <\/p>\n<p>Now he\u2019s in New York isolated, and now it\u2019s a laboratory to see what happens \u2019cause he has come in contact with people on subways and the bowling alley in Williamsburg.  So we just have to wait and see. Meanwhile, people like Matt here say, &#8220;Wait a minute. Why is this even happening?  We ought to not be permitting anybody from these countries to get back in &#8212; even people from the health community working with them &#8212; until they have passed a quarantine or a protocol or something that says they\u2019re safe. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We do not want to bring the disease into the country.&#8221; Too late for that.
