RUSH: They’re flying drones over Palm Beach, over the beach. Did you see that? It’s the most fascinating picture. There’s a drone photo, and the drone happened to catch a pelican. My favorite bird’s the pelican, and this picture is of a pelican. The pelican’s flying just below the drone and the pelican is in the picture. It’s a picture of the Midtown Beach, and the Palm Beach police put it out, “Oh, no, no, no, no! “We are not using this to violate anybody’s rights. We’re not doing this…” It wasn’t the police. It was the city government people....

RUSH: There are growing protests all over the fruited plain, the American people demanding that their states open for business. Your host is single-handedly being blamed for these protests. Now, the difference is that most hosts being blamed for something like this would gladly accept the blame, would gladly accept the responsibility. Most hosts would like being thought of as having that kind of power. On the other hand, I, Rush Limbaugh, America’s Real Anchorman, I know that I have this kind of power and I have not utilized it. I have not urged one protest. I never do this....

Did anybody happen to catch the segment on Rush's show today where he recited two Californian studies (one in Santa Clara one in SoCal) that indicates that anywhere from 44% to 58% of Californians have been infected by covid-19 but didn't know it because so many of those people showed no symptoms.

RUSH: I’m the guy that’s been warning everybody about who the Democrats are and the modern-day leftists, but I swear, I don’t know how much more I can take of a political party and its governors actually attempting to extend this damage, to prolong the harm that is occurring to average, ordinary people. It is amazing to watch this. I’m asking myself, do they have no common sense? What are they gonna have left if they succeed with this? Governor Cuomo just said the most incredible thing, and I’ll bet you this is gonna be true of Illinois. Governor Cuomo...

RUSH: Folks, you have to hear this — and I want you to envision something. This is Plugs last night. CNN ran a special: “Coronavirus Facts and Fears: A CNN Global Town Hall.” The host was a dire and very gloomy looking Anderson Cooper along with the official medical doctor at CNN, Dr. Sanjay Gupta. So on the screen from left to right as you’re looking at the screen, you had the gloomy Anderson Cooper; in the middle, you had Dr. Sanjay Gupta; and then you had Plugs, from his basement studio in Delaware. The question: “Looking at the president’s...

Three years to revive an economy, create roaring circumstances. It took less than two months to wipe it all out. Twenty-two million people filing for unemployment compensation — 22 million — and the idea that there is not an angry outcry from all over the world that this must stop? That outcry had better happen, because this… We’re beyond now saying this is unsustainable. This is untenable! This is cataclysmic! We’re in the midst of a self-created disaster that we could fix (snap, snap, snap) at the snap of our fingers.

RUSH: Holy smokes. Did you see the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing yesterday? Holy smokes. That was a throwback to the campaign of 2016. That is exactly why Donald Trump got elected. Donald Trump and the White House comms shop put together a video montage popularized by this program. We were the first to do it on Rush the TV Show and the radio program way, way, way, way back in the early nineties, a montage of leftists and Democrats in the media. And now everybody does it. The White House did their own, chronicling the media lying, chronicling...

RUSH: They owe us an explanation. Now, I touched on this yesterday. We are owed a huge explanation. So, 2.2 million deaths. “Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, 2.2. We gotta shut it down. And if we mitigate, maybe 240,000 deaths. If we social distance, we stay at home, if we shut down, if we wear masks, we do all this stuff, maybe a hundred thousand to 200,000, maybe 240,000.” Guess what? Sixty thousand. “Fauci Slashes U.S. Death Projection, Raising Hope for Reopening.” The doomsayers get to get away with everything. “Fauci Slashes U.S. Death Projection, Raising...

RUSH: Now, President Trump, it says here, “is looking into reopening parts of the U.S. economy, according to Steve Mnuchin, the Treasury secretary. Mnuchin said yesterday that Trump’s looking into reopening parts of the economy.” He was being interviewed by Maria Bartiromo on the Fox Business Network. Question: “Do you think this shutdown’s gonna go longer than eight weeks?” Mnuchin said, “Maria, I hope not. I hope we get back to the point… Everything I hear from the medical professionals and many places, we’re close. We’re close to the worst point. They’re beginning to peak, and I think then things...

RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number 24. Andrew Cuomo today at his daily briefing for the people in New York… CUOMO: You have projection models that have us hitting the apex, coming down from the apex. Models vary at how quickly you come down from the apex. But they all basically say you come down from the apex quickly. Models have it flattening out and continuing through the summer. How many lives lost? There’s only one model that we look at that has the number of projected deaths, which is the IHME model which is funded by the Gates Foundation....

Open letter to Rush Limbaugh: Rush, check the depression at the door and leave it outside in the democrat rain. The shutdown was necessary to give the infection curve a 'flattening'. The self sequestration has worked and supplies are ramped up in the pipeline. We now have a much more robust testing process and a drug regimen has been developed to quickly reduce viral load so a person's immune system can kill this virus. The hydroxychloroquine + Zinc stops virus replication. That same medication will be a powerful tool to allow America to get back to work with a preventative...

RUSH: Well, I guess the big news now is Fredo Cuomo of CNN has tested positive for coronavirus and will be quarantining in his basement. His brother, the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, has just revealed details of all of this, continuing to speak about it. It was almost a life review here of Chris Cuomo, how he became a lawyer, then a journalist, and how the dad was a very domineering personality and told Fredo that he better become a lawyer. It’s kind of… I don’t want to characterize it. But it was strange for somebody still alive....

RUSH: I wanted to update you on my health. And the first thing to tell you is I’m fine. I’m sitting here at my official home library desk, and I am fine. Now, here’s where my problems began. The cancer I have, the lung cancer I have involves the mutation of a gene that occurs in 1 to 5% of lung cancer patients. Now, ordinarily that would be very bad news because it would be something that maybe there’s no medicine for or that there’s no targeted treatment for. It turns out it’s the exact opposite. It turns out it...

It's sad that he's not around to reassure us with all the misinformation being put out. He was on for 30 minutes just now and that was reassuring. Unfortunately we have to prepare for life without him. Like Johnny Carson there will be no worthwhile replacement but this will hit harder. I'm not giving up on his health but It will be up to the rest of us as there is no one worthwhile to turn to.

Let's face it. No matter what the President does about the Corona virus the Democrats and their "news" lackeys are not going to be positive about it. Something has been puzzling me though about this response. He seems to be schizophrenic about it. In his news conferences and whenever his corona team presents information they are straight forward with the danger and potential impact on the virus. For weeks President Trump has said that nothing is off the table when it comes to meeting the challenge. And yet for quite a while he seemed to be minimizing the threat via...

RUSH: I’m always interested in people’s reaction to this program. I think I have a lot of empathy, and I think one of the reasons why the relationship you and I have is good is ’cause I know how you hear this show. That, I think, is a key ingredient. It’s called empathy. I know how you hear it. So when I check emails and get questions from people, usually I’m not surprised, and I’m not surprised that I got beaucoup number of questions: “Rush, you don’t sound panicked over any of this. The last two days, you don’t sound...

RUSH: Now, there are other things still related to this that we didn’t get into in the first hour. And, you know, Trump’s banning travel from Europe. Democrats not happy about this, folks. They do not like losing their precious travel from their precious European Union even for a day. Some people have asked, “What did you think of president’s speech last night? You didn’t say.” I thought he gave the right speech at the right time. Look, I know some people get frustrated. “My gosh, couldn’t they do something with the sound? You could hear the president breathing.” You...

RUSH: Hi, folks. Great to have you back. Great to be back. Great to be with you, as always. Middle of the week, it’s hump day, and this is the EIB Network. Sadly, this place may be one of the last outposts of reason, sanity, and not panic anywhere in the media. It’s incredible. It’s incredible out there. And, you know, I don’t know, folks. I’ve got personal perspective on this that many don’t, and I’m wondering if I should even introduce that into my thinking, in terms of what I share with you about my thinking on this. This...

They’re Covering the Coronavirus Like a Hurricane Mar 10, 2020 RUSH: You know, watching the coverage of this and the ongoing effort to create a panic — and let’s make no mistake here that that’s exactly what is happening here — I finally came up with what I think is a good analogy. The coronavirus is like a hurricane several days away from making landfall. Take your pick of any hurricane out there in recent memory — if you want to use Katrina, any hurricane — and then remember how the media covers it. “It’s going to devastate wherever it’s...

During his speech at Hillsdale College, conservative actor and director Nick Searcy said that Hollywood is broken forever. Everyone in that town knows in order to work, they must become a member of the Hate Conservatives, Christians and Republicans Club. Incredibly, Harrison Ford calling Trump an SOB and Robert De Niro repeatedly saying “F*** Trump” enhances their status in Hollywood. When these arrogant elites express disdain for Trump, they are really exposing their disdain for you MAGA cap wearers who buy tickets to their movies. A fan of Call of the Wild said that because of Ford's anti-Trump statements she...
