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

RUSH: Here\u2019s Jamie in Trenton, Michigan. Hi, Jamie, welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you. You\u2019re first up today.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, thanks, Rush. I just want to make a quick point in regards to this whole temperature thing, in regards to this nurse having a temperature.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: The CDC claiming, “Well, you know, it\u2019s a 99.5 temperature, nobody has anything to worry about.” Well, that\u2019s when she called in. Who\u2019s to say she called in an hour before her flight and, lo and behold, two, two and a half hours later, mid-flight, her temperature could be 102, 103?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, exactly right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So I don\u2019t understand the point of saying the temperature was only 99.5.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s the protocol. It\u2019s the protocol. The protocol supersedes everything, common sense included.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. And at what point do they start saying, “Okay, well, you know, every time we say something we\u2019re off or somebody else is getting it,” and at what point do they start mandating that these people that are actually coming down with it, and everyone else around them that were in close contact, can\u2019t go anywhere until those 21 days have passed? At what point do they start mandating this?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, my fear is they\u2019re gonna mandate a lot more restrictions than that at some point. My fear is they\u2019re gonna use this for a whole host of things that they otherwise don\u2019t think they would have the chance to do. We\u2019ll see. Hope I\u2019m wrong. Appreciate the call. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, there are other things going on out there, and I don\u2019t want to miss them. I mean, we\u2019re gonna slip away from Ebola here for just a couple of minutes. There are some other things happening, and I never want to have a single issue distract us from all the other things. Let\u2019s be honest. They might be trying to sneak a bunch of stuff by us while everybody\u2019s understandably focused, if not distracted, on this. But before I break away, I teased before the end of the previous hour a comment Frieden made on charter flights. <\/p>\n

Speaking of the nurse. Vinson flew from Cleveland to Dallas on a Frontier Airlines jet. The director of the Centers for Disease Control, Tom Frieden, yesterday during a conference call with reporters said she should not have traveled on a commercial airline. The CDC guidance in this setting outlines the need for what\u2019s called controlled movement. That could include a charter plane, that could include a car, but it does not include public transport. <\/p>\n

Now, two things on this. Why insult this nurse? This nurse is not gonna charter a plane to get back to Dallas from Cleveland. Nobody\u2019s gonna charter a plane. Who thinks this way? Drive? Doubt it. Bus? Already off-limits. And I also thought — this is the second point — I also thought that charters were bad and stupid. We played sound bites yesterday<\/a> of Dr. Frieden on with Megyn Kelly on Fox News in which she said (paraphrasing), “Wait, if you ban commercial flights –“<\/p>\n

<\/a>He said, “You can\u2019t get workers in and out if you ban travel.” <\/p>\n

She said, “What about charters?” <\/p>\n

“No, no, no, can\u2019t do charters. Charters are much different than commercial. You may not know the difference, Megyn.” <\/p>\n

“What do you mean? A charter takes off, it lands, it does its business, and it takes off and leaves. What do you mean, a charter\u2019s different?” <\/p>\n

We\u2019re sending troops to fight Ebola in Liberia, are they all flying coach? Now we\u2019re sending the National Guard. That\u2019s the latest, we\u2019re gonna send the National Guard.<\/a> And by the way, I\u2019m gonna jump the gun on something. AP has a story they\u2019re waiting on, it\u2019s gonna run later this afternoon, and it\u2019s about the five nations in Africa who are going to say that they think they\u2019ve had a pretty decent amount of success in containing the disease there. But that\u2019s not the lead. The lead is they are going to credit the fact that they closed their borders. <\/p>\n

The leaders of these five African nations are going to credit the fact that they closed their borders, that they had very strict border controls, and that\u2019s how they feel they have been able to stop the wanton spread of Ebola from their countries. As I see the story, these guys seem to be more concerned about the spread from their countries than anybody here is concerned about acquiring it from their countries. In other words, they seem to be more responsible about it than people here. <\/p>\n

You would think that leaders of these five African nations would get insulted if they heard people around the world say, “No, the way we gotta solve this is to keep it there.” It would be understandable if these African leaders said, “Oh, what, just subject my population to it? Well, screw you, man.” But they\u2019re not reacting that way. They\u2019re exhibiting a little bit more leadership, common sense, and responsibility than people in leadership positions in this country are. <\/p>\n

She should not have traveled on a commercial airline. The CDC guidelines outline the need for controlled movement. Charter a plane, drive a car, but no, not public transport. You know, these guys, they love to talk facts. The fact is if we had a ban in place, Thomas Duncan couldn\u2019t have simply hopped on a plane and brought this plague to the United States. It really isn\u2019t any more complicated than that. It really isn\u2019t. But, you see, to liberals nothing is simple. Everything\u2019s nuanced and there are layers and levels that we average people are simply not capable of discerning. And even if we could discern them, we\u2019re not clever enough to understand them. We\u2019re not smart enough to understand the nuances and the intricacies and all the variables. <\/p>\n

No, no, no. Not us. We simply are incapable. We\u2019re not qualified. We\u2019re not competent. We don\u2019t see all of the deeply woven webs that they see, because we simply can\u2019t keep up with them, you see. And, as such, they miss everything that\u2019s right in front of them. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Joyce, we head back to Pittsburgh. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. Good to talk to you again.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My question that Mr. Snerdley and I were discussing is we keep hearing about the nurse that went from Cleveland to Dallas. Why is nobody saying how on eartyh did she get from Dallas to begin with to Cleveland? There\u2019s another flight there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, this came up yesterday and these are the obvious questions that everybody\u2019s asking. She had come in contact with the Ebola patient, he had died, what is she doing flying? Everybody says, where are the controls?<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. And not only does she fly, you know, from Cleveland back, but gosh, she exposed another plane full of people on her way up.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, and it took \u2019em five days to take these planes out of service. Now they\u2019re sterilizing the planes and they\u2019re trying to track down the people that were on those planes, 132 passengers, I think, on the flight from Cleveland to Dallas.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. And how long can the virus live outside of the body, you know, on the plane in upholstery and everything else and how many different crews —<\/p>\n

RUSH: If they\u2019re telling us — (crosstalk)<\/p>\n

CALLER: — keeps going on and on.<\/p>\n

RUSH: If they\u2019re telling us the truth of the survivability of the virus, it\u2019s hours. I think between three and five hours that it survives on a tabletop, for example, or maybe on currency, on money, for people that still have some of that. They\u2019re telling us it\u2019s really, really hard to get, and we can only hope that they\u2019re shooting us straight on this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I don\u2019t know about you, but there\u2019s nothing I trust that comes out of Washington anymore.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019ve been that way for a while. It\u2019s not personal. It\u2019s because I know that this bunch especially politicizes everything. And don\u2019t forget, gang, this is also the party of Rahm Emanuel who said, “Never let a crisis go to waste.” The ultimate political comment. And there was a part two to that. The reason you never let a crisis go to waste is because “it allows you to do things that you otherwise couldn\u2019t do,” which means government power. (interruption) A question from the Official Program Observer. What is it? (interruption) If the virus only survives on surfaces for a few hours, why are they sterilizing the planes? <\/p>\n

Well, if both are true, they\u2019re sterilizing the planes for public relations. They don\u2019t want to have to put this plane out of service. These things are expensive. They don\u2019t want to have to send this plane to the desert in Arizona and park it forever. So they\u2019re gonna go through the motions of sterilizing it. By the way, do you know what kills Ebola on the surface? Bleach. Bleach kills it. So they\u2019re bleaching things and all that. So both could be true. The virus could only have a life span of hours on a surface, but for public relations consumption, whatever, they would still wipe down the airplane no matter what, just to let everybody know.<\/p>\n

(interruption) People don\u2019t know that they\u2019ve been on this plane, for example, when they… (interruption) So what are you saying? They shouldn\u2019t bother sweeping down the airplane, then? If people don\u2019t know which airplane they\u2019re getting? (interruption) No, it\u2019s not a waste of time if they\u2019re really doing it. This is one of these things that you have to do for show, even if that\u2019s the only reason. If you had 132 people that were on that plane and you\u2019re trying to track \u2019em down and you want to keep that plane in service, you have to realize some journalist is find out what airplane that is, and there will be stories saying what flights and routes that airplane is being used by Frontier, and people, if they find out, won\u2019t take that plane. <\/p>\n

Snerdley, you have to know that the media is gonna get to the bottom of it. If they didn\u2019t sweep this plane down there would be an all-out full-court press to identify it. (interruption) No, I\u2019m saying in this case the media would love to take out Frontier, not Frontier specifically, but if no effort was made to wipe down this airplane — let\u2019s say it\u2019s Abdullah Airlines. I don\u2019t care what it is. If no effort was made to wipe down this airplane and the media saw that, then they would find out, “Okay, is this plane still in service, and if it is, what routes is it on,” and they would write stories telling people. They have to do it. Whether the virus didn\u2019t survive in there or not they\u2019ve gotta do it. It\u2019s only common sense. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
