WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Jun 01, 2020

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>For the last thirty years, whenever a calamity happened in America,

0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the drive by media had a standard storyline. No matter

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>what the circumstances were, Women and minorities were said to

0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>be the hardest hit. Hurricane, women and minority's hardest hit. Flood, fire, famine,

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>economic downturn, always the same, Women and Minority's hardest hit.

0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>And he became the punch line of a joke I

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:24.799
<v Speaker 1>told about the apocalypse. I said, a New York Times

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>headline would be world end tomorrow, Women and Minority's hardest hit.

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>But that's no longer to go to narrative. It took

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.639
<v Speaker 1>a pandemic to change the storyline. On Monday, the Amazon

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Prime Washington Post had this headline, Undocumented workers among those

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>hit first and worst by the coronavirus shutdown. You legal

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>aliens in the construction and hospitality sectors have already lost

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>their jobs. As the post. Illegal aliens working in agriculture

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>and healthcare are at higher risk of being exposed to

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>COVID nineteen. They don't have access to paid sick leave,

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>health insurance, and the Social Safety Net, so they are

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>the new hardest hit. Don't don't get me wrong, I'm

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>not making light of anybody suffering, but the tens of

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 1>thousands hit by this virus have been hit hard. Meanwhile,

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the entire United States economy has been hardest hit, virtually

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 1>shut down with no end in sight, but every government

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 1>worker is still being paid
