Coronavirus isn\u2019t about him.&#8221; He doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s about him. You know, I sit here, like yesterday, I remain totally perplexed &#8212; and I know I ought not be, but I am &#8212; at the continual, utter ignorance and lack of understanding that political professionals in Washington have understanding Donald Trump\u2019s support, understanding the people that support him, understanding the people that make up his base.<\/p>\n<p>They continue to exhibit a degree of arrogant ignorance that\u2019s just mind-boggling to me. Donald Trump does not think this is about him. It is in their convoluted minds. They\u2019re telling us more about who they are when they engage in this distant analysis of Trump. They\u2019re trying to make people believe that Trump doesn\u2019t care a whit about you, doesn\u2019t care a whit about your family, that all Trump cares about is whether or not his image is gonna be hurt because of coronavirus. And so, as far as Trump is concerned, the coronavirus is all about him and about his reputation and about his future.<\/p>\n<p>And these people haven\u2019t figured out that, if there is one politician in America today who actually does care about the American people, it\u2019s Donald Trump. And you can see it every day simply from the policies that he tries to implement, the policies that he supports, the agenda that he has implemented. He\u2019s all about making America great, not about making Trump great. In his mind he\u2019s already great. Doesn\u2019t have to get any greater than he is. It isn\u2019t about him.<\/p>\n<p>You know, we played a sound bite from Trump\u2019s town hall that he had with the Fox News people last week, which was the highest rated town hall Fox has ever had. And he always portrays the truth at some point, even when he is being jocular, even when he\u2019s joking. And he said to Bret Baier, &#8220;I actually think we\u2019re saving the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s obviously not about him. He doesn\u2019t need to be saved. Trump\u2019s got it made. Trump has made it. The old American vernacular. He doesn\u2019t have to save himself. Saving the country is about preserving it for its people. I remain flabbergasted that Trump\u2019s critics from top to bottom and left to right, Never Trumpers on our side, rabid leftists on their side continue to think that Trump\u2019s ego is so self-evolved and self-focused that he doesn\u2019t care or isn\u2019t concerned about anybody.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-311174\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060519-TRUMP-PA-Rally-SKY-MAGA.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060519-TRUMP-PA-Rally-SKY-MAGA.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060519-TRUMP-PA-Rally-SKY-MAGA-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Look, I can tell you anecdotally, firsthand experience, Donald Trump cares about a lot more than himself. There\u2019s a part of me that says they do understand this, they just can\u2019t let go of it. They can\u2019t let go of this way of criticizing Trump. They can\u2019t let go of the idea that they are gonna find a way to distance Trump\u2019s supporters from Trump. They\u2019re gonna find a way to drive a wedge. And they\u2019re gonna keep using the same techniques that have failed now for four plus years and counting.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the vice president again announced today that all health care companies represented at the White House today have agreed to waive all coronavirus related copays. And they\u2019re going to pay for this &#8212; I\u2019ll get the name of this medicine. I can\u2019t think of it. But don\u2019t misunderstand. It\u2019s not a medicine that\u2019s been specifically developed. It\u2019s something that already exists that has been shown to be effective with certain people. Remember, this virus is really zapping the elderly. If you\u2019re over 75, you have pre-existing respiratory conditions, that\u2019s who\u2019s really at risk here.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Kevin McCarthy said something last night, and it bears repeating, because Trump himself has tried to make this point. I\u2019ll remind everybody. It was back in December that Trump was already on target and dealing with this virus out of China. That is when he shut down China flights, all the way back in December and certainly into January.<\/p>\n<p>Trump then offered to send some of our scientists and doctors to Wuhan to help out, and the ChiComs refused. He went to the House to inform them of this threat and what was coming. Now, you may not remember much of this because the way the media treated this&#8230; The Democrats did nothing about it. They said Trump was grandstanding. They said&#8230; The media tried to run the game, &#8220;This is Trump\u2019s xenophobia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is Trump\u2019s racism! This is Trump trying to make an end run around closing the borders by hyping some stupid fear.&#8221; The Democrats did nothing. They didn\u2019t listen. They made fun of Trump for canceling travel, just like they did when he announced the first travel ban shortly after being inaugurated. Today, do you know what they did? Today, the House passed a law to prevent him from banning travel, to keep him from banning travel.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>You know, they were impeaching Trump the whole time he was already working on this. He has been trying to warn people about this for months, and they were laughing and making fun of him and accusing him of trying to distract everybody\u2019s attention away from this because he was being impeached and because it was very serious, because he was very worried &#8212; very worried &#8212; about what the Democrats were doing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-334462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012720-Coronavirus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012720-Coronavirus.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012720-Coronavirus-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>&#8220;He might be thrown out of office!&#8221; So they accused him of creating all kinds of distractions and doing all kinds of things to tell people, to get people all scared and so forth and make it look like it\u2019d be very risky to throw Trump out of office. He turned out to be exactly right about it. They ignored and they laughed at it. He tries to get travel from China banned into the United States, and he did so finally in January. They made fun of him the whole time.<\/p>\n<p>Now they\u2019ve passed a law to keep him from banning travel. In other words, they have passed a law demanding that the borders remain open, and they\u2019ve done this because they think there\u2019s a political opportunity here to cast Trump as a xenophobe, as a racist, that Trump wants to ban travel \u2019cause he\u2019s a racist pig and they\u2019re not gonna let him get away with it.<\/p>\n<p>So they want to be able to accuse him of that, because they think throwing the race card down accusing any Republican of racism or xenophobia is an automatic win column thing for them. I really don\u2019t think they have the slightest idea what they are headed for in November. I really don\u2019t. I don\u2019t think the media has the slightest idea. I think these people live in such a delusional world; they believe they\u2019re gaining ground on Trump.<\/p>\n<p>They believe that they\u2019ve embarrassed Trump. They believe they\u2019re turning the tide against Trump. They believe that all this Russia stuff and the impeachment stuff worked. They think that it\u2019s scored points here and there and it\u2019s all adding up, and that Trump\u2019s hanging by a thread. And they believe that the economy&#8230; They\u2019re gonna be able to do something about the economy with the coronavirus, and that\u2019s gonna be something that will help them.<\/p>\n<p>And they think it\u2019s all gonna be timed perfectly. It\u2019s all gonna unravel on Trump starting in the fall, the late summer and the fall and they\u2019re gonna win. I don\u2019t think they have the slightest idea. I think they\u2019ve been wrong about everything they have tried against Trump, and they\u2019re gonna bomb out majestically on this.<\/p>\n<p>Grab audio sound bite number 3. Shannon Bream last night had as one of her guests Brit Hume, senior political analyst at Fox News, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2020\/03\/10\/were-watching-hurricane-coronavirus-coverage\/\">and she played a clip of me and asked for his reaction to it<\/a>, and this is how it sounded&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>BREAM: I want to play a little bit of what Rush Limbaugh had to say today about the left and how they feel about the various crises.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: What does it mean to say that the coronavirus, it could be an opening for the Democrats? It means the suffering of people could be an opening for Democrats. And they\u2019re all excited about it. And they\u2019re unable to let go of it.<\/p>\n<p>HUME: The sense one could get from watching a lot of the coverage and the commentary: The coronavirus originated in the Trump White House and that the president is trying to spread it as fast as he can to as many people as possible. Which, of course, is nonsense. It is, I think, however, a problem that threatens him politically. Not just because people getting sick and because of a foreign flu invasion bothers people, but because if we get a bad quarter in the economy and a continued contraction of the stock market, some of the main points in his favor that he\u2019ll campaign on will be taken away from him. So he still to worry about that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s not&#8230; Look, with all due respect, that\u2019s not what the Democrats think when they think the coronavirus provides them an opening. That\u2019s not it at all. They\u2019re not thinking about the economy. Let\u2019s just shoot straight here. They think they\u2019re gonna be able to do damage to the economy simply by talking it down. That\u2019s what they\u2019ve always been able to do in the past with the assistance of the media.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-339027\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/APP-030320-Coronavirus-Rush.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/APP-030320-Coronavirus-Rush.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/APP-030320-Coronavirus-Rush-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>No, no, no, no, no. This coronavirus means one thing to them: People getting sick and Donald Trump not knowing what or how to do anything about it. They are salivating over the fact that Trump will be blamed for people getting sick. Now, this is just who they are. Let\u2019s be honest about something else. If Obama were president&#8230; Any Democrat! Hillary, take your pick.<\/p>\n<p>If any Democrat were president and this was happening, this would also be their fear. Their fear would be that people would be blaming the sitting president, that the sitting president was gonna get grief for not being able to do anything about it. So what would they be doing then? They would be out attacking Republicans like you can\u2019t believe.<\/p>\n<p>If there was a Democrat in the White House now and the coronavirus or something similar was happening &#8212; a hurricane, you name it &#8212; they would be out attacking Republicans past and present for it. They would be doing anything they could to deflect blame from Trump. You go back and look at the Ebola virus when it hit. Look how they praised Obama. &#8220;Why, he was the man of the hour!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was the guy to be in charge. Republicans would not have known what to do.&#8221; They politicized virtually everything. The idea that this economy is gonna come crashing down? Even if that is what they\u2019re salivating over, why the heck would we want that to happen just to have Democrats reelected to the White House? But it\u2019s all moot. It\u2019s all moot. Let me tell you why it\u2019s moot.<\/p>\n<p>Now we\u2019re back to Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden is going to be the Democrat presidential nominee.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Lambertville, Michigan. Hey, great to have you with us, Gordon. You\u2019re next, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush, it\u2019s a true honor to speak to you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you very much. Great to have you here, too.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, it\u2019s a real travesty what the media has done with this coronavirus, I feel, because, you know, it\u2019s one thing to stand in the wind and rain on a coast and affect a city or two and maybe, you know, a couple hundred thousand or million people. But now we\u2019ve got a whole continent that\u2019s freaking out over this. And what happens when there really is something to be concerned about? You know, what are we gonna do then? We\u2019re gonna just thumb our nose at \u2019em and say the last time &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me ask you, why do you think the coronavirus is not something maybe to be concerned about?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, it\u2019s speaking to everyone. I\u2019ve done some research online. Obviously people say, oh, online, online this, online that. But, you know, I\u2019ve been around, I traveled to Mexico last week. It\u2019s my birthday next week. My wife took me to Mexico. We didn\u2019t have any problem. We came back. We\u2019re fine. And I\u2019m just not seeing this. I don\u2019t think this is much more than the flu. I\u2019ve seen numbers. They kind of correlate it to the flu numbers and how many people get sick and die of it each year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-338106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/APP-022620-Coronavirus-1b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/APP-022620-Coronavirus-1b.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/APP-022620-Coronavirus-1b-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Sure it\u2019s something to worry about, you wash your hands and you carry on. But, I mean, there\u2019s people fighting over toilet paper and other things at the grocery stores. It\u2019s just blown way out of proportion in my opinion, and I just wonder what\u2019s gonna happen when there really is something of great concern to be really worried about.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s a valid concern. But I think your question is well taken. The media has made it look like this is it, precisely because people are fighting over toilet paper and paying a hundred bucks a roll to get some. I mean, this is clearly &#8212; have you seen any medical people say anything that would warrant the degree of fear or panic that you see out there?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Other than those that are put out in front of the mainstream media, no.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s my point.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That they bring forward, yeah, nobody.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We haven\u2019t seen the CDC say things or the NIH, these are all people now that are part of the Trump task force. And, folks, let me tell you something about this. And I may get in some trouble for this. I\u2019m not gonna name any names, but there\u2019s a lot of people in this Trump task force who despise him. They are holdovers from previous administrations many, many administrations ago. Some of these people, I am convinced, think Trump is a buffoon.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: My point is that there are people at the CDC &#8212; and they\u2019ve been there for years. They\u2019ve been there longer than Trump\u2019s been in the White House. They\u2019ve been there (some of them) since before Obama was. Same thing at the NIH.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve got people at the NIH who\u2019ve been there since the 1980s. You\u2019ve got people at Homeland Security, Health and Human Services. You got people there, I will guarantee you&#8230; I shouldn\u2019t say &#8220;guarantee,&#8221; \u2019cause I don\u2019t actually know, but I\u2019m just pretty sure. You\u2019ve got some people there who let\u2019s say just don\u2019t like Donald Trump. They are Never Trumpers, either Republican or Democrat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-310998\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060419-Never-Trumpers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060419-Never-Trumpers.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060419-Never-Trumpers-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Now, those peopled could be&#8230; If they wanted to, they could be going to the media like the intel community did during Trump-Russia collusion. They could be leaking all kinds of stuff. They could be leaking that this virus is gonna wipe out half the population. They could be leaking anything they wanted. If they really wanted to destroy Donald Trump, they could do it. Now, I don\u2019t&#8230; (interruption)<\/p>\n<p>No. I didn\u2019t state that right. If they wanted to cause real havoc here, they could do it. They have a receptive media. They have a media hoping and praying that somebody\u2019s gonna leak stuff like this to them about this virus, and the point is it isn\u2019t happening. The people in the health community who are in a position to know are not feeding the media the information necessary to create the panic that the media desperately wants people to feel.<\/p>\n<p>And yet the opportunity is there. I\u2019m just&#8230; I\u2019m bouncing off our last caller, because he says, &#8220;What happens when there is something really, really bad? I mean, once this thing runs its course and people realize it wasn\u2019t anywhere near as bad as the media said, then at some point are we gonna create a bunch of people in the country who are not gonna listen to the media anymore?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know about that.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m just telling you that the media is doing what it can right now to create panic. Look at the headlines on Drudge. Now, the headlines on Drudge are nothing more than headlines on the news. You can sit there and complain about Drudge all you want, but it misses the point. I haven\u2019t done it on purpose because it\u2019s just one &#8220;the end of the human race&#8221; story after another.<\/p>\n<p>Country by country, it\u2019s the end of the human race. That\u2019s what\u2019s in the media today. Those are the headlines. It is clear that there are objectives that the media\u2019s attempting to achieve here with this. We all know why. The effort is, in part, aimed at getting rid of Donald Trump. They can\u2019t help themselves. No matter what the news story is, it\u2019s gonna be tailored, flavored, flaked and formed and aimed at Trump in a way that\u2019s supposed to hurt him.<\/p>\n<p>My point to you is that the people who could be providing that kind of information are the ones not doing it. So my point to you is that the people in a position to know are not literally responsible for the hysteria that is there is in the media. So you ask, &#8220;Well, who is?&#8221; I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>Anonymous sources. It doesn\u2019t take much. Here. Grab sound bite 24. I\u2019ll give an example. Grab sound bite number 24. This is the esteemed governor of New York. This is the brother of Fredo. This is Andrew Cuomo this afternoon in Albany talking about his plan for containment of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>CUOMO: We\u2019re also going to use the National Guard in the containment area, uhh, to deliver food, uhh, to homes to help with the cleaning of public spaces. Some opinions are the virus can live on a hard surface such as stainless steel or plastic for, uh, two days or more. If that\u2019s the case, uh, that\u2019s&#8230; That would be a significant issue as to why it is, uhh, transmitting the way it does. So cleaning those surfaces is very important &#8212; cleaning it with the right material &#8212; and the National Guard will be helpful on that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-282878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-082218-Cuomo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-082218-Cuomo.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-082218-Cuomo-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: All right. So the government of New York has declared a one mile containment area in New Rochelle. That\u2019s what the announcement was about. We have a one-mile containment area. Now, if this were a Republican governor, they\u2019d be out there calling this martial law. Calling out the National Guard? Calling out the National Guard? This is the kind of stuff that\u2019s spreading rumors. He\u2019s not a health official. He\u2019s the governor. But this is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You have stories like this that feed into&#8230; He is a Democrat, doesn\u2019t like Trump. I mean, we know the score here. My point is that all of this is way overblown. There is a justification for a certain level of concern. (interruption) Well, yeah, you could say he\u2019s got a containment area. He\u2019s just closed the borders of New Rochelle, and then he\u2019s got the National Guard going in there to distribute food and clean surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>So if you violate the containment area, I wonder&#8230; (interruption) No, I\u2019m sure it doesn\u2019t apply to illegal aliens. I\u2019m sure illegal aliens can come and go in New Rochelle and do whatever they want to do. They\u2019re not stopped anywhere else. Why would this stop them? See how this works? (interruption) Oh, you could have a sanctuary city, you could have a sanctuary state where you welcome in all kinds of people who break the law.<\/p>\n<p>But now we got the coronavirus and we\u2019re gonna put a containment area around New Rochelle. They\u2019ve gotta have some illegal aliens living there. What if they want to leave? Are they gonna be allowed to leave? &#8216;Cause they\u2019re allowed to come and go as they want. Is a sanctuary state. So illegal aliens have kind of free rein to come and go. My point is, this is the kind of stuff. But he is&#8230; He\u2019s not a health official.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not the NIH. He\u2019s not with Johns Hopkins. He\u2019s not with Health and Human Services or the National Institutes for Health saying all this. It\u2019s just the governor. He\u2019s a politician. My only point, folks, is you go back through the history of the Trump administration\/the Trump the presidency, and we\u2019ve had all kinds of anonymous sources from within the Trump White House, the West Wing, the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve been writing anonymous pieces about how dangerous Trump is and how, &#8220;We\u2019ve got adults in there and we\u2019re looking out for things for everybody. Everything\u2019s okay. We\u2019re gonna be protected, \u2019cause Trump doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing; he\u2019s very dangerous.&#8221; None of that is happening here. You got a bunch of NIH people in there and a bunch of CDC people in there.<\/p>\n<p>And they could be going to town against Trump if they wanted to. Am I making myself clear here? This is a roundabout way of saying that it probably isn\u2019t wise to panic yet because the people who would really know if it\u2019s time to panic would be saying so. And if they really wanted to create a panic to go get Trump or whatever, then they could easily do it.<\/p>\n<p>And so far it looks like Trump and Pence\u2019s efforts to keep a lid on this and to keep a semblance of normalcy and non-panic about it are working within that universe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Look, I can tell you anecdotally, firsthand experience, Donald Trump cares about a lot more than himself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":339559,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
