RUSH: I want to talk about Gavin Newsom and all these other blue state governors and some red states who are now relocking down, reshutting down, not states, but they\u2019re going back and they\u2019re closing — for example, Gavin Newsom — restaurants, theaters, bars statewide are closed. Malls, barbershops, churches. They\u2019re closed in 30 counties, which probably is the majority of the state.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, how long is this gonna go on? There was a time, remember, when California was suffering very little from this. We were amazed that they were so far behind New York. Remember what they were telling us? Well, it\u2019s because they got a two-day head start on whatever social distancing. It was a bogus excuse then, and it\u2019s a bogus excuse now.<\/p>\n

But theoretically, what we\u2019re gonna do here, we\u2019re closing the bars and closing the theaters and closing the restaurants. Aside from destroying those businesses, what are we gonna do? Why, we\u2019re going to slow the spread of the virus. Yeah. That\u2019s the ticket. We\u2019re not gonna stop it. We\u2019re just gonna delay it. We\u2019re just gonna slow it down. And then after a while we\u2019re gonna open back up again. After a while they\u2019re gonna say, “Hey, you can go back to the restaurants that haven\u2019t died. Hey, you can go back to the bars that are still open. And, hey, you can go back to your church or your mall if it still exists,” which will lead to more cases, it will lead to more hospitalizations, and then they\u2019ll shut it down again.<\/p>\n

John Hinderaker at Power Line<\/a> says it\u2019s a very good question. Is there any reason why this cycle in California won\u2019t continue into 2021, 2022, 2023? What\u2019s gonna change? The only thing that would change any of this is if there\u2019s a vaccine. And we don\u2019t have the slightest idea whether there\u2019s gonna be a vaccine, and if so, when?<\/p>\n

So is this what we\u2019re gonna do? We\u2019re gonna close and open and close and open, we\u2019re gonna repeat these cycles. We\u2019re gonna think we\u2019re slowing the spread, we\u2019re closing the bars, we\u2019re closing the restaurants. And then, of course, the spread, the number of cases goes down. A-ha. We\u2019re beating it again. We reopen, then stay open for a month or two and the numbers go up, and we close everything again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Is this how California is gonna be run? Is this how New York is gonna be run? Is this how these blue state governors are gonna manage this? Now, this isn\u2019t a solution to anything. It\u2019s not fixing anything. It\u2019s not solving anything, and is certainly isn\u2019t preparing people to adapt and live with this.<\/p>\n

There is no other option. We can\u2019t run and hide from this. We can\u2019t pretend it doesn\u2019t exist. We can\u2019t come up with phony policies like shutting down bars, restaurants, movie theaters, churches, and whatever for a month or two. The numbers go down, a-ha, success. It\u2019s the same thing with opening the schools. We don\u2019t have a choice. We have to open the schools. We have to do our best. We have to do what\u2019s necessary to establish normalcy as best we can. We have to find ways to adapt.<\/p>\n

But I just don\u2019t see how we could avoid the repetition of these cycles without a vaccine or some kind of genuine therapeutic treatment that makes people able to recover from the virus faster than they otherwise would. Then we gotta also somehow find a way to get honest with the truth about the impact of the virus, the number of people who get it and recover.<\/p>\n

Nobody\u2019s telling anybody what these numbers are, but they\u2019re astoundingly high. The death rate per capita, per million is not at all what most people think it is. The new daily reporting of the number of cases is being done with an illicit purpose. They\u2019re trying to convince you that the number of cases is someday going to equal the number of deaths.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Linda in El Centro, California. Welcome. Great to have you with us today. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. First of all, I want to say I\u2019ve been listening to you since 1988, and we are praying for you.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Well, thank you very much. You\u2019re a lifer. That means you\u2019ve been here since even maybe before day one.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. We listened to you when you were in Sacramento.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019re before day one, then. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Anyway, I\u2019m calling because we live and, as you said El Centro, which is in the Imperial County of California. We are the number one hot spot in all of United States. We are also right along the border of Mexico, across the border here there\u2019s a down called Mexicali.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It has anywhere from one million to three million. So, anyway, my whole point is that we are being inundated by people who come across the border to work in our fields every day. Granted, I know that the farmers need them. But they are in a real hot spot there where they have no health care. And so what\u2019s happening is many of them are coming across the border so sick that they come to our hospitals and then they are the ones that get put on the ventilators right away, and then they eventually pass away, some of them, obviously.<\/p>\n

Many of them are being airlifted. They say since May there\u2019s been over 500 transports with a helicopter taking these patients to other hospitals north of us and as well as west \u2019cause some of them are going into San Diego hospitals. And our doctors here, which we have a personal friend who is a doctor, he actually got COVID himself. But he was on hydroxychloroquine, and there are several doctors here who put people on that right away, when they\u2019re in their first five days of the illness, that\u2019s when it\u2019s —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did it work?<\/p>\n

CALLER: — effective. It did work. That\u2019s my point, is that it worked —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. There\u2019s a bunch of stories out there that hydroxychloroquine<\/a> — you talk about one of the greatest disservices that has happened in this whole story is the attempt to defame hydroxychloroquine when it\u2019s got a 50-year track record. It is successful in certain circumstances. It is being prescribed around the world with a great success rate. There\u2019s now official survey data to demonstrate and illustrate this.<\/p>\n

\"\"But most people still to this day probably think that hydroxychloroquine is gonna kill them if they take it. I mean, Trump announced that he was taking it, and Neil Cavuto on Fox had a cow. (imitating Cavuto) “That\u2019s irresponsible. You could die. Hydroxychloroquine could kill you, Mr. President. You are convincing people that -” It was just totally over the top. But this is what people have been made to believe. They also believe these out-of-control numbers on the number of cases, without any context whatsoever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
