\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me check. I just got… Ooh, this could be interesting, too. Let me put this aside. I just got an audio sound bite roster with some of the highlights from the congressional hearing on Capitol Hill today, the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee Hearing on the Ebola Crisis, Dr. Thomas Frieden. It\u2019s Dr. Thomas Frieden, Marsha Blackburn, Frieden again… Dat, dah, dah, dah, dah. Okay. <\/p>\n

Oh, he\u2019s got a new answer here. Oh, I don\u2019t believe this! We gotta play this one. I just basically scanned this one. This Frieden guy, he\u2019s got to want to be thrown out of office here. You just gotta hear this. I don\u2019t want to characterize it before I actually hear it. I don\u2019t want to tell you what it says then have it not say that and look like I got egg on my face. So here\u2019s the setup. <\/p>\n

Fred Upton (Republican-Michigan), is asking Frieden, the director of the CDC, this question: “The question I have is, if other countries are restricting travel from these African countries — and as you said, the fundamental job of the US now is to protect American citizens — why can\u2019t we move to a similar ban on travel from these other countries? <\/p>\n

“The exposure rate of 14 days or 15 days is well within the 21 days of incubation — and in fact, knowing that there are 150 people coming a day from those countries, we have not 100% — 94% in terms of screening at US airports. It seems to me that this is not a failsafe system that\u2019s been put into place.”<\/line><\/p>\n

FRIEDEN: Right now, we know who\u2019s coming in. If we try to eliminate travel, the possibility that some will travel over land, will come from other places, and we don\u2019t know that they\u2019re coming in, will mean that we won\u2019t be able to do multiple things. We won\u2019t be able to check them for fever when they leave.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, that\u2019s one. There\u2019s part two. Just hang on. I know that sounds confusing, but there\u2019s a part two. He said, “Right now, we know who\u2019s coming in. ” Keep that in mind. Don\u2019t forget that. “Right now we know who\u2019s come in. If you try to eliminate travel, the possibility that some will travel over land, come from other places, and we don\u2019t know that they\u2019re coming, will mean we won\u2019t be able to do multiple things.” <\/p>\n

Do you know what he just said there? <\/p>\n

What did he say? (interruption) You\u2019re nodding like you know what he said. Do you know what he did? He just threw amnesty overboard. He just threw amnesty under the bus. He just threw Obama\u2019s precious open borders under the bus. He says if we try to eliminate travel, then they\u2019re gonna come here illegally, acknowledging there are others already doing that! <\/p>\n

“If we try to eliminate travel, the possibility that some will travel over land,” like the Hoof Express through the Rio Grande River, “will come from other places, and we don\u2019t know that they\u2019re coming in. It\u2019ll mean that we won\u2019t be able to do multiple things.” In other words, “What\u2019s already happening will continue to happen, and yet some of the people coming might have Ebola.” <\/p>\n

Oh, no! He can\u2019t last much longer. The Chamber of Commerce is having a conniption fit right now. Louis Gutierrez is having a conniption fit right now! So his answer seems to be, “If we don\u2019t let them come in on planes, they\u2019ll come by land over our porous border.” Sound bite 28.<\/p>\n

FRIEDEN: Borders can be porous, especially in this part of the world. We won\u2019t be able to check them for fever when they leave. We won\u2019t be able to check them for fever when they arrive. We won\u2019t be able to, as we do currently, take a detailed history to see if they were exposed when they arrive. When they arrive, we wouldn\u2019t be able to impose quarantine as we now can if they have high-risk contact. <\/line><\/p>\n

We wouldn\u2019t be able to obtain detailed locating information which we do now, including not only name and date of birth, but e-mail addresses, cell phone numbers, address, addresses of friends, so that we could identify and locate them. We wouldn\u2019t be able to provide all of that information as we do now to state and local health departments so that they can monitor them under supervision.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, ladies and gentlemen, it sounds to me like he\u2019s saying that if we don\u2019t let them come in on planes… What he\u2019s saying is… (laughing) Unbelievable! Do you understand what he\u2019s saying? If we don\u2019t let them come in under our auspices, they\u2019re gonna come in via illegal immigration, and we\u2019re not gonna know who they are, and it\u2019s gonna be even worse.<\/p>\n

Like the 300,000 children that came in and might have brought enterovirus, and like the 12 million who are already here that we want to grant amnesty. If we don\u2019t control the border… The reason, if we shut down travel into our country… This guy, he has swerved into something, folks, that is totally… Unless I\u2019m missing something — I didn\u2019t see this coming — this guy is acknowledging that we do not have a closed border. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s acknowledging that we cannot control who comes into the country. This guy is saying — the Centers for Disease Control director, Dr. Thomas Frieden is saying that we cannot close airports, we cannot shut down flights to this country because other parts of our border are wide open with thousands already crossing the border, and we don\u2019t know who they are, and we don\u2019t know what they have, and we don\u2019t know how sick they might be. <\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know and we\u2019ll have no way of knowing! Whoa! Man. Oh, my. Do you know what\u2019s happening at the White House right now? The other alternative is, this guy doesn\u2019t speak without it approved and written. Let\u2019s look at this from the standpoint of the low-information voter, and let\u2019s look at this from what does the Regime really, really want. Well, we know the Regime really wants open borders. <\/p>\n

<\/a>We know the Regime really wants amnesty. We also know the Regime, by virtue of Frieden himself, does not want to shut down flights from African countries where Ebola has broken out. So that\u2019s gonna continue. We\u2019re not gonna close the airports to these flights. They don\u2019t want that to happen. They don\u2019t want to shut the airports. They don\u2019t want to eliminate travel in from Africa.<\/p>\n

They just don\u2019t want to, \u2019cause you know, we\u2019re all citizens of the world here. We don\u2019t have any right to shut our country off from other people. I think they\u2019re relying on the fact that the low-information crowd is never gonna hear this and if they did they\u2019d never put two and two together. They\u2019re relying on the fact that the media\u2019s not gonna report it the way I just have. They\u2019re relying on the fact that the Republicans aren\u2019t gonna make hay about it because they also want amnesty. <\/p>\n

So I think they\u2019re rolling the dice here. Go ahead and say this, and use our already-open borders (which aren\u2019t gonna change) as a reason to keep them open to Ebola patients. I think they\u2019re rolling the dice that there will not be any negative blowback on the Southern border being open and all that. That\u2019s my guess. Otherwise, they\u2019re relying on people remaining ignorant because they\u2019re relying on the media not seeing\/hearing what just happened there. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re relying on this being relegated to New Media, this take. Otherwise, I can\u2019t explain this. The alternative is this guy\u2019s just really stepped in it, didn\u2019t know it, nobody was able to get there and shut him up, and now they\u2019ve got a problem on their hands. (interruption) Mmm-hmm. (interruption) What do you mean? If he\u2019s still there tomorrow! If he\u2019s still there tomorrow, we know that this was intended. What do you mean, “next week”? <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Dave in Westport, Massachusetts. Thank you for waiting, sir. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. Thank you for having me.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have a question concerning Ebola protocol.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: At some point, especially with the open borders, there will be cases of Ebola that didn\u2019t happen from direct contact with a patient or known contact or travel to Ebola countries. At what point will the CDC decide to change the protocol that hospitals are following?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. I lost you there. At some point with open borders, there will be cases of Ebola that didn\u2019t happen from direct contact with a patient or no one in contact or travel to Ebola countries. At what point will the CDC —<\/p>\n

CALLER: In other words, there may be people coming in to emergency rooms with the beginning symptoms, and when asked the current questions, current protocol questions, “Have you traveled to these countries in Africa? Have you had contact with someone who may have contracted Ebola,” you answer all these questions “no” but you may still have Ebola. At some point everybody is going to be exposed.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m having trouble following. You think everybody\u2019s gonna be exposed, at risk, because hospital protocols are so lax right now, you mean?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s part of it, but with the admission that the borders are open and that the CDC can\u2019t keep track of people coming in and out, whether or not they have a high temperature or not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: If I\u2019m understanding, they are not gonna change the protocols at the borders, if that\u2019s what you\u2019re asking me.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Correct.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019re not. I don\u2019t know if they will ever be able to prove one way or the other that an Ebola patient came in via the open border. I guess that\u2019s your question, is how are they gonna know where somebody who has Ebola got it if the borders remain open and all that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Correct.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I don\u2019t know. But one thing I do know, they will do whatever they have to do to tell all of us it has nothing to do with borders being open.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. Rush, I also have a comment, two comments.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: One comment is, my son is proudly reading your first book in school during quiet reading time. He\u2019s six.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow. Six years old. That\u2019s beneath the target, but that\u2019s great.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know. He loves it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you, sir, very much. I appreciate that. He\u2019s reading the first one?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Does he have the second one?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ohhhh, that\u2019s too bad.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My next comment is when it is determined which aircraft carried the second Ebola nurse, it will have to be renamed the Ebola Gay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, gee. (laughing) Don\u2019t hang up the phone here, David. Oh, my. From Ebolaphobes to the Ebola Gay. That airplane, by the way, flew five additional loads of passengers, not just the first group of 132. (Make sure he doesn\u2019t hang up!) That plane, before they took it out of service, flew five other routes somewhere. The Ebola Gay. You know, it to happen, folks. It had to happen.<\/p>\n

You know, with this serious, hand-wringing stuff, people seek a release from it. David, I\u2019m gonna send you the second book. I\u2019m gonna send you and your son a copy of the second book, complete with audio versions of both — and I\u2019m gonna send you, when we get them, the new book that is available for pre-order now, Rush Revere and the American Revolution.<\/p>\n

It comes out on October 28th, but it went on pre-order last week — and we love it. We\u2019re so excited about this one. I mean, they\u2019re all great. They\u2019re all our babies. But this one is really, really special because of its tie and dedication to the US military in one of the storylines. Rush Revere and the American Revolution. We\u2019ll send you that, too, when we get it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
