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

RUSH: Now, this CDC, he says we got great people running the CDC. We don\u2019t, sadly. We\u2019ve got people who are profoundly confused and are governed by political correctness running the CDC. <\/p>\n

NBC Today Show, Matt Lauer. I mentioned at the top of the program that I\u2019ve been watching Drive-By Media types interview Regime officials who they have to prop up, \u2019cause they\u2019re fellow Democrats. They\u2019re fellow travelers. But it\u2019s really hard, and you can see some of these Drive-By Media people are getting really frustrated at what they\u2019re hearing from people that they have to prop up but they don\u2019t like having to prop. Get very, very frustrated. <\/p>\n

Matt Lauer is one of those examples, while talking to the CDC director. His name is Thomas Frieden. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: On the Today Show today Matt Lauer interviewed Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Thomas Frieden, and Matt Lauer said, “Why wasn\u2019t the apartment where Thomas Duncan was staying immediately cordoned off and cleaned?”<\/p>\n

FRIEDEN: The details of that you\u2019d have to refer to the folks in Dallas, but this is, after all, the first time we\u2019ve ever had a case of Ebola<\/a> in the US, and there are issues to make sure that when things are removed, that\u2019s done safely, that it\u2019s not gonna be disposed of in any way that would potentially be a risk.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So here we have another glaringly incompetent Obama government official who\u2019s asked, why wasn\u2019t the apartment where the guy was staying cordoned off and cleaned up? And the guy passes the buck. “Well, you gotta talk to folks in Dallas, \u2019cause this is the first time we\u2019ve ever had a case of Ebola<\/a>. We don\u2019t know what we\u2019re doing! What the hell do you expect of us? <\/line><\/p>\n

“But nevertheless, Matt, there are issues to make sure that when things are removed…” There are “issues”? How about procedures? What is this “issues” business? “There are issues to make sure that when things are removed, that\u2019s done safely”? Well, then why aren\u2019t those “issues” employed? “Oh, because, well, you have to talk to folks in Dallas.” But wait. If the “issues” are in place, why didn\u2019t the folks in Dallas do \u2019em? <\/p>\n

“Oh, because this is the first case of Ebola<\/a> and nobody was prepared.” But we have “issues” to make sure that when things are removed, it\u2019s done safely, and it\u2019s not gonna be disposed of in any way that would potentially be a risk. Except it was! Now, Matt Lauer had same reaction I did. But Matt Lauer can\u2019t react the way I did because Frieden\u2019s one of his fellow travelers, liberal Democrat Regime officials. (interruption) <\/p>\n

Well, no, there… (interruption) Well, partially true. There\u2019s a story that it was the disposal of the material. They couldn\u2019t get a permit to drive the stuff. The truckers couldn\u2019t get a transportation permit to move the stuff after they\u2019d cleaned it up, had it loaded in trucks. But that\u2019s okay, because there are “issues” to make sure that this is done safely.<\/p>\n

The CDC guy just said so, even though this is the first time we\u2019ve ever had an Ebola outbreak<\/a>. This guy just admitted nobody knows what they\u2019re doing, folks. Now, look, as I said, Matt is having the same reaction I had, but he can\u2019t voice it that way because this guy is one of Lauer\u2019s buddies. I mean, he\u2019s a fellow traveler. So after Frieden said what he said, here\u2019s Matt Lauer\u2019s response.<\/p>\n

LAUER: You said we have to check with the people in Dallas, but this was a week, and obviously as the head of the Centers for Disease Control so concerned about this spread of this virus, is it acceptable that an apartment would be in that condition — a hot zone, basically — for a week after that patient left that building?<\/p>\n

FRIEDEN: We have, uh, had our staff working with the local authorities. We understand that bleach has been used, and, uh, this is something that we expect to get resolved today.<\/p>\n

LAUER: Seems like it took an awful lot of time to have that taken care of.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: See, he can\u2019t believe what he\u2019s hearing. “Well, you know, we\u2019ve had our staff working with local authorities.” But in the previous answer he said, “Well, you\u2019d have to refer to the folks in Dallas.” Wait a minute. Why did you say you\u2019d have to refer to the folks in Dallas if your staff\u2019s been working with \u2019em all this time? And then “We understand that bleach had been used. This is something we expect to get resolved today.” <\/p>\n

I guarantee you, just saying it, in their world, makes it happen, folks. <\/p>\n

Just saying, “The economy is growing,” means it\u2019s growing. Just saying, “Jobs are being created,” means they\u2019re being created. Just saying that the stimulus is gonna create shovel-ready jobs means it\u2019s gonna happen. Now, the hazmat team that showed up to clean the apartment last night were stopped from doing it, because they didn\u2019t have a permit to transport the hazardous materials on a Texas highway. <\/p>\n

Pure and simple. Snerdley asked me that. And, by the way, I think it\u2019s insane. Regulations kill. This business about the bleach, you know why they use bleach? The CDC guy said, “I think they used bleach. I\u2019m pretty sure they did” That\u2019s because the woman\u2019s daughter brought it over. The woman\u2019s daughter brought it over. Not the CDC. Not the Dallas authorities. It is not the government, not the experts. The woman\u2019s daughter brought it over.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Sharon in Charlotte, North Carolina. Great to have you with us. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you for taking my call.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: So I was thinking, “What are the chances that the patients being treated at Howard University in Washington could have been on the same flight as the patient in Dallas, since the flight connected through Dulles?”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I guess it\u2019s possible, but you see the director of the Centers for Disease Control told us that it\u2019s not a problem, because the guy got on a plane in Liberia, and he wasn\u2019t showing any symptoms, and if you\u2019re not showing any symptoms, you\u2019re not contagious. And therefore it\u2019s impossible to get the disease from somebody not showing symptoms. And therefore, it\u2019s not possible to stop the flights, and we have no business stopping the flights because we created Liberia because of slavery. So if somebody got the disease from the guy on the airplane, it\u2019s just tough toenails. It\u2019s just the way it is.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, to me it would be a game-changer.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Explain why. What do you mean, a game changer? Because it\u2019s in Washington now, you mean?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no, no, but just they said that you can\u2019t catch the disease casually, as on an airplane. So if these two patients happened to be on the same flight or same airplane, that kind of washes that theory away.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, see, that\u2019s the thing. That is one of the things about this that really puzzles me is why not, if you\u2019re gonna make errors here, why not err on the side of caution? After all, there isn\u2019t a cure for this. The death rate, depending, is anywhere from 60 to 90% of people who get the disease. Why wouldn\u2019t you err on the side of caution?<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: Well, what I don\u2019t understand is if it\u2019s not a big deal to be on the same aircraft, how come when they brought the two workers a couple months ago from Africa<\/a>, they had them in these suit and contamination-free zones and special airplanes?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, again, because they were showing symptoms.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well I guess.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, they were. They were symptomatic.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Yeah. No, good point.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They were showing symptoms, and what they\u2019ve told us is that you can\u2019t get the disease from somebody who\u2019s not showing symptoms, therefore if nobody has a fever, if there\u2019s no obvious illness, somebody sitting on an airplane, theoretically they\u2019re not contagious. But the point is, the guy got on the airplane sick. Thomas Duncan got on the airplane sick. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s admitted it; he knew it. So did the president of Liberia. The president of Liberia, by the way, has just declared him a refugee. She will not allow him back into Liberia now, by the way, folks. (interruption) Well, now you say, “Great,” but stop and think of the difference. She\u2019s not gonna let him back. He\u2019s got the disease. She does not want her own citizen back. He\u2019s got the disease.<\/p>\n

He left under circumstances she doesn\u2019t approve of, she thinks that he was irresponsible getting on an airplane sick and coming to a country where there were no known cases. She thinks he engaged in an unpardonable act. So now she\u2019s declared him a refugee, which means he can\u2019t imagine back to Liberia. He\u2019s not a legal United States citizen, so he\u2019s a refugee here. But the point is, I\u2019m just talking the difference in the way people are dealing with this. <\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t want an infected citizen back. Can you imagine if we had anybody in this country saying that? That\u2019s my whole point about this being governed by political correctness. This is breathtaking to watch all this take place and to listen to these people explain their actions and their behaviors knowing full well that they\u2019re not motivated by stopping the disease.<\/line><\/p>\n

They\u2019re not motivated by protecting people, or in protecting people. They are governed by being seen as fair, to the victims, i.e., the people who have it. They have put shackles on themselves. They will not allow themselves to take steps that would in any way stigmatize, isolate, whatever, the sick. Normally… Do you know what Ellis Island was for, by the way? (interruption) Exactly right. <\/p>\n

Do you know if you showed up at Ellis Island and you had a fever, you might not have been let in the country \u2019cause there was tuberculosis, there was plague, there was any number of diseases. Ellis Island was not a clearinghouse to let in certain quotas from certain countries. It was to determine whether or not we were allowing sick people in the country, and we did not let sick people in. That was the purpose. <\/p>\n

All different today. Now the sick are victims, and we can\u2019t humiliate them, and we can\u2019t stigmatize them, and we can\u2019t isolate them. In fact, in addition to that, there are people running around thinking, “They\u2019re sick because of us, because of America and our past, and therefore we owe something to these people, even if that means other citizens get sick. That shows that we aren\u2019t judgmental. <\/p>\n

“That shows that we are not discriminating against them. That shows that we\u2019re not being mean. That shows that we are compassionate.” All this sick stuff. The primary focus has been abandoned here, folks. So if you\u2019re out there asking, “Why aren\u2019t we doing this? Why aren\u2019t we doing that?” I just told you. It\u2019s up to you to believe it. It\u2019s up to you to digest and believe it. If you don\u2019t want to believe it, that\u2019s your full unadulterated right. <\/p>\n

But if you want to know why if all of this doesn\u2019t seem sensible to you, if it seems inexplicably, and if it\u2019s giving rise to conspiracy theories, it\u2019s because it doesn\u2019t maintenance because common sense is not a factor in any of this. Political factors are — in a large part politically correct factors. I guarantee you that one of the reasons why we will never shut down flights from countries which are considered host countries to the disease.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll never shut \u2019em down, because that constitutes closing the border, and we\u2019ve got a president who\u2019s hell-bent on granting amnesty to anywhere between six and 12 million people before the end of the year. We\u2019re hell-bent on not closing the Southern border here to shut down that kind of immigration. We\u2019re not gonna shut any border. We\u2019re not gonna take step one to keep anybody out of this country for something like Ebola.<\/p>\n

Because that would have deleterious effects on the president\u2019s political agenda. Now, you may not want to believe that. You might think, “Certainly, Rush, we don\u2019t have people that shallow.” We do, folks. It\u2019s not shallow. It is a way of thinking. They have been raised with this. They\u2019ve been educated, they have taken all the right courses that led them to be politically correct. They\u2019ve been in self-esteem courses, Conflict Resolution 101.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been told about America\u2019s guilt and blame and our imperial behavior since our founding and how we\u2019ve mistreated this group and that group, that country, this country, the resources that we\u2019ve stolen. And now look! We are leading the world in destroying the world, we are the problems global warming. Our way of life, our way of living, capitalism, progress? That\u2019s blamed for destroying the planet. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s all right there if you. <\/p>\n

You just have to. <\/line><\/p>\n

This is why I had this big dissertation on Monday about what the purpose of this program is. It\u2019s always been, among many other things, to educate people, to have them be as clearly understanding of what liberalism is, as I can make it. Because it is the root of every problem that we are experiencing right now, and it just happens to be on vivid display at practically every high profile leadership position in the government. <\/p>\n

Department of Justice, EPA, FDA, White House, Centers for Disease Control, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Forestry Service, you name it. The people that have been put in leadership positions in all of these agencies think the same way, and they have a chip on their shoulders about America. For, in some cases, personal reasons and in others historical reasons, but they\u2019ve all got a chip. <\/p>\n

In their worldview, America has been the problem in the world, and we have yet to pay an appropriate price for that. Their rise to power gives them the opportunity. Why do you think Obama apologizes for this country every chance he gets? You know, he goes and makes some speech and has to have drag Ferguson, Missouri, into it. It\u2019s the UN. He\u2019s telling people what he won\u2019t tolerate around the world, discrimination this, discrimination that. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s says (impression), “Now realize, I realize I may not have a lot of room to talk here because in my own country we\u2019ve had our own episodes of discrimination and racism,” blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Why do you think this happens? ‘Cause he does. He thinks that. We don\u2019t have any moral authority anymore, folks. We\u2019re not the good guys. There is no American exceptionalism. We\u2019re not more advanced.<\/p>\n

“We don\u2019t have a right to keep anybody out of our country. Who do we think we are? We go wherever we want to go. Who the hell are we? What do you mean, they can\u2019t come here? We go to Europe. We go there. We\u2019ve gone over there. We\u2019ve sent the CIA down there! We killed that leader. We\u2019ve taken over that country. Who the hell do we think we are? Somebody wants to come here, fine and dandy! Who do we think we are?”<\/p>\n

This is the kind of thinking that we have in leadership positions right now, and it\u2019s how you arrive at the fact… It\u2019s right there in this sound bite that we first played. It\u2019s all right there in 25 seconds of what this guy says. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s more from the CDC director, and again, he\u2019s on Fox & Friends <\/a>this morning, and he\u2019s talking with Elisabeth Hasselbeck. His name is Thomas Frieden. She said, “Sir, how many more people will have to come to the United States and not fully disclose who they\u2019ve been in contact with before these travel restrictions are put in place? How much longer will America have to wait to be fully protected at the border when it comes to this disease?”<\/line><\/p>\n

FRIEDEN: I wish we could get to zero risk by sealing off the border, but we can\u2019t. The only way we\u2019re gonna be get to zero risk in this country is by controlling it in Africa. Until that happens, Americans may come back with Ebola, other people who have a right to return or visa to enter may come back. People will go to third countries and come from there. Uh, so sealing them off, first off, one way or another work. Second off, it will backfire.<\/p>\n

HASSELBECK: This gentleman —<\/p>\n

FRIEDEN: (angrily) Because if we can\u2019t get help in there…!<\/p>\n

HASSELBECK: — would not have come here, though.<\/p>\n

FRIEDEN: If we can\u2019t get help in there, then we\u2019re not gonna be able to stop the outbreak, and ultimately we will end up at higher risk, not lower risk.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, you see, this is the problem here for the Democrats on amnesty. If the American people think the borders are exposing them to risk from disease, the Democrats could be in trouble on this. Now, who knows what people think about this, but this guy, you notice he is adamant that sealing the border, there\u2019s no way. It ain\u2019t gonna happen. Sealing the bored is not an answer here. We can\u2019t do it, and furthermore, it would backfire. <\/p>\n

They cut him off and didn\u2019t let him explain what he meant by that. But he says the only way to get to zero risk in this country\u2019s by controlling it in Africa. I know it\u2019s two different things. “Controlling it in Africa” has nothing to do with whether or not people with the disease get in or out of the United States. The point is, this guy, I guarantee you, when it comes to controlling the border and eliminating or trying to prevent as many sick people from getting in, it\u2019s a nonstarter, folks. <\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t going to happen, and you hear this guy goes to great pains to tell you how it would be ineffective. It would be irrelevant. We couldn\u2019t do it. It wouldn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s kind of like abstinence and pregnancy. Abstinence works every time it\u2019s tried. It just does! But, boy, does that tick them off when you say that. Then they start telling you you\u2019re against sex and they tell you you\u2019re prude, and then you want everybody to live like nuns. <\/p>\n

No, no, no. You\u2019re talking about unwanted pregnancy. Here\u2019s the number one thing to do. It works. Well, by the same token, keeping the sick out of the country is the best thing you can do, but we not gonna go there! “No way, Jose, because our president is gonna use these open borders to do amnesty down the road here in a couple of months. So we\u2019re not even gonna talk about this. We\u2019re not even gonna talk about the border being a fact here,” and that\u2019s why. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, this… this… What is his name, Thomas Frieden? I\u2019m getting him confused with Tom Friedman. It is Thomas Frieden. Thomas Frieden, Centers for Disease Control.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m telling you, if you try to keep up with this guy, you will go insane. This is liberal logic. The director of the Centers for Disease Control, Thomas Frieden, says, “We have to stop Ebola in its tracks in Africa! That\u2019s the only way to keep it out of America. We can\u2019t shut down our borders. We can\u2019t shut down flights into Africa. We got to stop it in its tracks in Africa. But we can\u2019t keep people in Africa,” he said, “they\u2019re gonna flying all over.”<\/p>\n

Now, if we have to stop Ebola in its tracks in Africa but we can\u2019t keep people in Africa — I mean, they\u2019re gonna be flying all over — is there any logic there? Does it make any sense at all? Of course it doesn\u2019t. Why are they using quarantines in Africa if they don\u2019t work? And why did Obama send 3,000 troops to help enforce the quarantines in Africa if they don\u2019t work? <\/line><\/p>\n

Why didn\u2019t US airlines simply stop accepting passengers traveling from Ebola countries? How hard would that be? “Well, because they\u2019ll go to other countries, Mr. Limbaugh, and they\u2019ll get on planes to the US.” Well, not if those countries aren\u2019t letting \u2019em out. Folks, we are really at great risk here because of this deranged, politically correct thinking. I just had friend of mine send me a note. He\u2019s a little worried. <\/p>\n

This guy happens to read Twitter a lot. That\u2019s another thing that bothers me. I shouldn\u2019t get into this, and I won\u2019t. Not right now. But, anyway, this guy\u2019s quoting Twitter to me. He says, “Rush there are a lot of people I\u2019m reading, who you would think are smart.” I don\u2019t know how he knows this. Maybe their his friends. “They\u2019re on our side, and they\u2019re asking, ‘Why wouldn\u2019t Obama just simply not allow flights from these countries?\u2019 <\/p>\n

“‘He has the authority. Why wouldn\u2019t Obama simply close the border to these people?'” and the guy\u2019s worried that they don\u2019t understand the answer to the question. Of course the answer to the question is if Obama closes the border here (snorts), then he has just given himself a real problem with amnesty. Obama can\u2019t close the border, folks, for Ebola. He can\u2019t. The border has got to stay open so that he can do amnesty with little friction as possible. <\/p>\n

Anyway, “Saudi Arabia Bans Ebola-Stricken Countries From Hajj Pilgrimage — With the arrival of approximately two million people from around the world in Saudi Arabia for the annual hajj pilgrimage … [t]he Saudi government has banned the entry of travelers from three countries currently dealing with the Ebola epidemic: Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. The decision to reject visa requests from these countries has affected 7,400 people…”<\/p>\n

Even despite this: “Hospitals in Saudi Arabia are also preparing in the event of an outbreak by setting up isolation and surgery units as well as dispatching medical staff to airports.” So they\u2019re gonna do everything they can to keep Ebola patients out but they\u2019re gonna prepare in case some get in anyway. But they\u2019re making no bones about it. Of course, the politically correct would this country would say, “See? See? <\/p>\n

“Do you want to be like the Saudis, do you want to be like those mean-spirited Saudis where the terrorists come from, or do you want to be an open to everyone, come-on-in-and-enjoy-America kind of country?” I can just hear the politically correct now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
