1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Right, sounds like that Sixteenth Street Mallstabveror is gonna get 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: released because he's too damn crazy for court. Remember that 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: movie with Charles Bronson's Death Wish. I just recently saw 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: a remake of that with Bruce Willis. Man, that's a 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: good movie. 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: What wait a minute, so Charles Bronson Death Wish, which 7 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: was in the eighteen hundreds, and then Bruce. Then I 8 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: recently saw a remake of the same movie with Bruce Willis, 9 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 2: who's had this body something called dementia for years now 10 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 2: and has been out of sight for I don't know, 11 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: maybe a decade. And you're so you're you're leave me 12 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: and talk back about And don't get me wrong, I 13 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: might we might agree about Death Wish, and we might 14 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: agree about some sort of things like that. But I'm 15 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 2: just really concerned about I canflate time badly. And you 16 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: just recently saw a remake that's probably twenty years old 17 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: on originally ho He's gonna check it out real quick. Oh, 18 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: Dragon Dragons, Dracton has gotten into full full producer mode 19 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: like ooh twenty eighteen. 20 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 3: Okay, well. 21 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, well technically eleven years no no, no, no, no, well. 22 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 4: Math math is not your strong suit today, is it? No? 23 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 3: It is not. No, it is not. Math is not 24 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 3: my strong suit. But what I'll sell you what is 25 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 3: my strong suit? 26 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: I don't forget, actually I don't forget the really bad stuff. 27 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: And so at leads to it leads me to have 28 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: a somewhat catastrophic mindset. When you know, in law school, 29 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: like in criminal law, civil law, Diessman difference, what you're studying, 30 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 2: you always prepare your clients for the worst. You always 31 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: look for everything that can possibly go wrong. And that's 32 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 2: how you get trained. That's how you get trained to 33 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 2: think critically. You think about everything, you uncover every stone, 34 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: particularly if you're going to trial. Trial lawyers are an 35 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: entirely different breed of animal, and so they're always looking 36 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: for every possibility of everything you can go wrong. 37 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 3: And then they start trying to prepare for that. 38 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: And then you go through and you practice law for 39 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 2: a long time, and you do that, and then you 40 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 2: get a call from NOL President and he says, how 41 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: once you come in you know, well, it's the time 42 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: just be the director of FEMA. But ultimately you end 43 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: up being the under Secretary of Homeland Security, which is 44 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 2: all post nine to eleven, and you spend everything from 45 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 2: you know, nine to eleven oh one, all the way 46 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: through the rest of your career, always preparing for it, 47 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: always like going over shoulder looking for the worst thing 48 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: that can possibly happen. And then you finish that and 49 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: you come back home and you're living life, you're doing well. 50 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: And then suddenly one day, in fact, six years ago yesterday, 51 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: February one, is when I think things fundamentally changed in 52 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: this country. Now, we were already on a timeline, and 53 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: we were already on this highway to hell, in which 54 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: you know, the Democrats and the marxistmic Communists and. 55 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 3: Socialist and all of those were going to change everything. 56 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 2: But they and I'm not gonna put on my tenfoil hat, 57 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: but they either launched something or they saw an opportunity 58 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: for something, because it was exactly six years ago yesterday, 59 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: that a bunch of scientists whose names you probably will 60 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: remember when I tell you, did something on a conference 61 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: call that would alter the trajectory of human history. No, 62 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: they didn't cure they didn't cure cancer. 63 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: No, they they. 64 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: Didn't find some magic weight loss pro well maybe it 65 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 2: was a magic weight loss program. They didn't find life 66 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: on another planet. They didn't. They didn't solve the problems 67 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: the foreign policies of the world. They they didn't, you know, 68 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: eliminate murder anything else. No, no, no, no, no, no. 69 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: They discovered something so and they decided to conceal that something. 70 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 2: Matt Ridley in X yesterday posted that uh, which had 71 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: been at the time was viewed over a half a 72 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 2: million times. Six years ago today, a truly shocking, a 73 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 2: truly shocking incident occurred that disgraces the name of science. 74 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: A dozen scientists on this conference call shared the view 75 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: that COVID sars Kov two started with a laboratory experiment. 76 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 2: So they met online, probably had a teams meeting, right, 77 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 2: probably a zoom call to discuss how to mislead the 78 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: world into thinking the opposite. Doctor Fauci, doctor Collins, doctor Farrar, 79 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 2: doctor Holmes, doctor Anderson, doctor Gary, doctor Grahambac, doctor Faucier, Fautier, 80 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: doctor Coopan's, doctor Drostyn, all highly placed, very important people 81 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: within the subset of the National Institutes of Health, the 82 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 2: National Institute for Well the NIAID. And they made a choice. 83 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: They made a political choice. Here's what we now know. 84 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 2: By late January of twenty twenty. A bunch of scientists 85 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 2: on that call actually believed that the virus looked like 86 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 2: it had been engineered by human beings. Jeremy Ferrar, who 87 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 2: was the head of the Welcome Trust, who is now 88 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: the chief scientist at the World Health Organization. You see, 89 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: they never go away, They just circulate, kind of like 90 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: the virus, They just kind of circulate around. He was 91 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: alarmed that the virus appeared almost designed, almost as if 92 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 2: somebody had created a virus to infect human cells. Doctor 93 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 2: Christian Andersen told doctor Fauci directly that the genome was 94 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory. I would just claim unapologetically, 95 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 2: they knew, and they knew better. They saw the same 96 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: thing independent researchers saw. It was a novel virus that 97 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: emerged in the one place on the entire planet that 98 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: housed a BSL four lab doing gain of function research 99 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: on backcronaviruses, which was funded in part by your tax 100 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 2: dollars that got laundered just like everything else, through an 101 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: NGO called Eco Health Alliance. So when they realized, oh, 102 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: this looks like a spend human engineered this looks like 103 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 2: it might actually be designed to recavic on human beings. 104 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 2: What did they decide to do? They decided to bury it, 105 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 2: to bury what they were really thinking, and thus began, 106 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 2: if not earlier, but that was certainly a tipping point 107 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: for our I think healthy cynicism about medicine, science and 108 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: everything that we do. This is based on a scientific theory. 109 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: So within just days of that call, six years ago yesterday, 110 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: the same sciences that were privately worrying about this lab 111 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: origin began drafting a paper that would be published in 112 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: Nature magazine just about a month and a half later 113 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 2: March seventeen, the Proximal Origin of Sarskov two. And they 114 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: concluded in that paper that the virus was not a 115 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: purposely manipulated virus, and that one paper published that quickly 116 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: became the single most sided piece of evidence to dismiss 117 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 2: the lab leak hypothesis. It was accessed millions of times. 118 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: It was cited by the journalists because oh my gosh, 119 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: look we got we got to act the stenographers again, 120 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 2: not as journalists but as ustenographers. The fact checkers, Oh 121 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: they fact checked it. Well, how did they fact check it? 122 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,239 Speaker 2: How did the fact checker? How did the fact checkers 123 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 2: fact check a scientific article that had not been peer reviewed, 124 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 2: that in the matter of six weeks, had been published 125 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 2: by Nature Medicine. They read it, they read it, they said, 126 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 2: oh yeah, we agree with this must be true. And 127 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: then the social media at the time, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, 128 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: all of them, Google, all the tech giants, the cabal 129 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 2: in essence, went into overdrive. So we have a lie 130 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 2: that was built on a phone call, a lie that 131 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 2: was built on. 132 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 3: A zoom call. 133 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: Maybe they were too busy Tuban, like, you know Jeffrey 134 00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: Tuban when he was on zoom call. Think about every 135 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 2: everything that screwed up our lives from that one day 136 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: six years ago. Yesterday, Zero Hedge, a source that I 137 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: often read subscribed to, they found themselves banned from Twitter 138 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 2: for just suggesting that, you know, this. 139 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 3: Virus looks like it might have come from a lab. 140 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: Sciences that raised any questions were destroyed in terms of 141 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 2: their careers. 142 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 3: Then Facebook got in on the on the game. 143 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 2: Because Facebook feeding those stories to everybody, you know, based 144 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 2: on their algorithm. They labeled the la lab leak posts 145 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 2: as misinformation disinformation. Google suppressed search results. You'd had to 146 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 2: go to page twenty to find anything, it was different. 147 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 2: YouTube started taking down videos. The entire machinery of institutional 148 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 2: trust got weaponized to enforce the conclusion that the people 149 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 2: who wrote it didn't even believe themselves. And it wasn't 150 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 2: just censorship, it was it was actually probably the genesis 151 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: of the entire culture of censorship that just blew up 152 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 2: like an atomic bomb on that day. Doctors didn't ask questions, 153 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 2: journalists didn't investigate. If you said lab leak at a 154 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 2: dinner party, you were the crazy uncle. If you posted 155 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 2: anything X, you had to be very very careful. iHeart, 156 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 2: as I've said a bazillion times to their credit came 157 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: to me and said, you know, there's all this stuff 158 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: going on. We're shutting you down. By the way, Dragon 159 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 2: and I got our essential employee cards. 160 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 3: Yay. 161 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: I think they've since been deactivated. I think they've been 162 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 2: kind of like, you know, you and you don't use a 163 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 2: credit card for a long time, and so they just 164 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: kind of quietly deactivate the credit card, and when you 165 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 2: go to use it, they're like, h this is this 166 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 2: credit cards dead? 167 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 4: Well, we've both been fired since then, so that's. 168 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: Fired, laid off, put on cann't lead move. I've been 169 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 2: moved around a dozen times, you know, just trying to 170 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: keep us all, you know, confused. 171 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 3: Dazed and confused. It's fun for meazing confused like led Zeppelin. 172 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 4: What it's fun because whenever we get rehired, we get 173 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 4: a raise exactly, the only time that we've gotten Raissa exactly. 174 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: But the entire machinery of disinformation and you know, marginalizing 175 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 2: people who just simply wanted to question, which is the 176 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 2: entire purpose of science is to question your results. 177 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 3: There's been so. 178 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: Much written about SARS CoV two, and we now realize 179 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 2: some you know, six years later, that these really aren't 180 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 2: conspiracy theories. Oh yeah, there are congressional findings, they're subpoena documents, 181 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 2: they're sworn testimony. But here we are six years after that, 182 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 2: and finally the Central Intelligence Agency is beginning and has 183 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 2: acknowledged that the lab leak is probably the most likely 184 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 2: origin and the most likely so of sarsgov too COVID nineteen. 185 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 2: The FBI said that even before the CIA did, the 186 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 2: Department of Energy has concurred. The Congressional Select Subcommittee produced 187 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: thousands of pages of evidence documenting what is it called 188 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 2: the anatomy of a cover up, and yet anybody in 189 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 2: jail any accountability. Let's start with my favorite one, doctor Fauci. 190 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 2: I've told you before that Fauci and I had this, 191 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: this kind of awkward relationship. Sitting in the situation room 192 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: one time, shortly after nine to eleven, doctor Fauci was 193 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 2: trying to explain something. I take that back. We weren't 194 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: the situation room. We were in the Roosevelt Room. And 195 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 2: doctor Fauci's because Bush has asked the question, do you 196 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: think that al Qaeda could weaponize smallpox? Do you think 197 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 2: that they could, you know, get somebody that had smallpox 198 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: and put on a plane and you know, Islamabad or 199 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 2: somewhere and have layover in Paris, a layover in London, 200 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 2: and then finally get on London if he throw and 201 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,119 Speaker 2: fly to Dolls and men fly from Dolls to Lax 202 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 2: and back to Lax to you know, Denver International, and 203 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: they could just spread smallpox everywhere. They got five or 204 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: six people do that, and Facci just lectured, lectured, lectured 205 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: everybody about how you could weaponize smallpox. Now, I'm not 206 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: going to say that there's not a way to weaponize smallpox, 207 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 2: but at that time, six years ago. Everything he kept 208 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: saying in that meeting, I just kept saying, they're staring 209 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: at him, thinking that's a load of crap. That's just 210 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: a load of crap. So I did what any rational 211 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: human being would be would do. I call one of 212 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 2: my best friends who happens to be in the internist, 213 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: a medical doctor, and said, Hey, if I get infected 214 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 2: with smallpox, how long and Florida the signs before I 215 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: become infectious? How long before it would be that I 216 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: could infect somebody else with smallpucks? And Dennis starts explaining 217 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 2: to me all of the symptoms that I would have, 218 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: the things that I would have to do, the conditions, 219 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 2: the atmospheric conditions, the internally like on an airplane, all 220 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 2: of the conditions that had to be just perfect, and 221 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 2: he goes. 222 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 3: It's hot. 223 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 2: It's I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's highly unlikely 224 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 2: because you're probably going to present yourself at the gate 225 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: and you're going to be so obviously sick that they're 226 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: going to refuse you to they're not going to allow 227 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: you to get on the plane. They're going to be 228 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 2: that sick. Oh thank you. So you know, about a 229 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: week later, we're back in the Roosevelt room again, and 230 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 2: we're going over all the things, all the contingencies, think 231 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 2: about all the planning and everything else about all of this, 232 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 2: and and Fauci once again talks about, I really think 233 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 2: we had to focus on smallpucks. We really have to 234 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: focus on small bucks. And so I sheepestly raised my 235 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 2: hand and and and just doctor Fauci, I asked an 236 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: internist about what people would present as symptoms to be 237 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 2: infectious for smallpucks. And here's what he told me. Blah 238 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah blah. Well that may be, 239 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: but you could probably be it. You could probably be 240 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: infectious before then. Or they could take some sort of 241 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 2: you know, they could take some of the virus and 242 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 2: they could put kind of like with elon omar, you know, 243 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 2: with the apple cider vinegar. They could put it in 244 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 2: a syringe and get on an airplane and somehow, you know, 245 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: squeeze it up into the vents and they get circulated around. 246 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 3: And I'm like, how long would that How long would 247 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 3: that virus last? 248 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: How long would that smallpox virus last in the sterile 249 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 2: confines of an aluminum tube? But thirty six thousand feet 250 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 2: going six hundred miles an hour, with all the HEPA 251 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 2: fields and everything else. What's the likelihood of anybody getting infected? Well, 252 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 2: probably not very much. Then why are we doing this? 253 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 2: Why why are we talking to the president about we're 254 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 2: gonna we gotta worry about small bucks? Because it was 255 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 2: also leading to an entire discussion about how would we 256 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: get the Now you'll love this. I just sometimes I 257 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 2: wish I'd just get hypnotized and just forget some of 258 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: the stuff that I know. You know how they wanted 259 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 2: to distribute smallpox vaccines the United States Postal Service, Yes, 260 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 2: because they always go to the you know, there's there's 261 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 2: a mailbox on at the end of the section Line 262 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: road at the way back in the back forty. But 263 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: they're not going to get exposed to small box anyway. 264 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 2: But they're going to send a mail carrier all the 265 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 2: way out there and have them give a shot. Or 266 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 2: maybe you could inject yourself. 267 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 4: I don't know. 268 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 3: We didn't get that far in the discussions, but I remember. 269 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 2: Just laughing, just laughing, And of course Bush's reaction is, 270 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 2: maybe you boys ought to go back and talk about 271 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 2: this more. Maybe you had to figure it out. I 272 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 2: think I don't think that I was the killer of 273 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: the messenger. I think the old idea about the postal 274 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 2: service being the distributor of a smallpox vaccine that probably 275 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: killed it right there. 276 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 3: But here's a simple question. 277 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 2: Think about the people who got everything right, all the 278 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,239 Speaker 2: independent researchers. 279 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 3: The journalists, the citizens who asked. 280 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 2: Some very obvious questions that got centered, that got deep 281 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 2: platform got called conspiracy theorists, maybe even got fired from 282 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: their job for saying something on Twitter or somewhere else. 283 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 2: You know, ask yourself, in what functioning society do the 284 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 2: people that lied get promoted and the people who told 285 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 2: the truth get punished. Oh, in the United States of 286 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 2: America in twenty twenty, And it wasn't just the phone call. 287 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 2: It was more than just the phone call. Hey, your 288 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 2: chance to win one thousand dollars cash is coming up 289 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 2: in the next five minutes. Listen for that keyword brought 290 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 2: to you by Vadorcedes of Littleton, This Mercedes. 291 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 4: Of Littleton of Littleton dot com. 292 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 5: Hey, Michael, let me save your other listeners some time 293 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 5: and heartache. The Bruce Willis death wish is a pretty 294 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 5: bad move. When I watched it, I wished I was 295 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 5: dead instead of watching it. 296 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 2: Okay, everybody has different opinions about movies, but if I 297 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 2: have to, and I don't have favorite goobers, but if 298 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 2: I had the wigh the veracity of goobers, you versus 299 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 2: the crazy truck driver, I'd probably take your opinion versus 300 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 2: the crazy truck driver. 301 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 4: Just say it, and let's face it. Two, I would 302 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 4: probably argue the fact with that goober listener right there. 303 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 4: Because the movie was in twenty eighteen. Bruce Willis got 304 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 4: diagnosed with his sickness in twenty twenty two. Oh okay, 305 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 4: so it's just a few years prior to him announcing that, Hey, 306 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 4: I'm pretty much gone. So I can see where it 307 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 4: could be leaning towards the bad side because that's just 308 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 4: where he was headed. 309 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes the day I might talk about the Millennia documentary. 310 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 2: I haven't seen it yet, but oh my gosh, am 311 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 2: I getting an earful about it. And I think the 312 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 2: earful I'm getting is biased. There's all I know. Are 313 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 2: you shocked? There's a guy that used to be on 314 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 2: Newsmax that had a you know, he had to hit 315 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 2: a news show and he would normally have me and 316 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 2: Rick Hunger, who's a editor at Fortune Magazine. 317 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 3: We would normally be on that Newsmax program and we would. 318 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 2: Be kind of the ying yang or whatever topic he 319 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: would throw out, except that Rick and I often agreed 320 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 2: on many things. Even though he was a liberale, I 321 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 2: was a conservative. Based on the way, you know, this 322 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 2: particular guy would ask the questions we would, we would 323 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 2: pretty much both end up attacking him about the way 324 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 2: the question was act asked. Well, he has just been 325 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: on a tirade on Facebook about, oh, you know, a 326 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 2: bunch of police departments who decided instead of giving out 327 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 2: speeding tickets, they're giving out tickets to see the Millennia movie. 328 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 3: And people are just begging, you know, please don't be 329 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 3: so cruel. 330 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: This is against the Eighth Amendment. This is cruel and 331 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 2: unusual punishment and blah blah blah. And I'm like, holy cow, 332 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: get a grip, get a total grip. And I want 333 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 2: to say one more thing before I get back to COVID. 334 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie, who was one of the morning news hosts. 335 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 2: I forget which network she worked for. The story broke 336 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 2: this morning that her mom is missing and I and 337 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 2: I wish Savannah Guthrie. I've been interviewed by Savannah Guthrie before. 338 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 2: I wish them the best that I hope her mother's okay. 339 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 2: I have a really simple question, why is that national news? If? 340 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 3: And I'm not. 341 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 4: Because she's famous. 342 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 3: Well, Savannah Guthrie is famous. 343 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 4: Her mother's not famous related to somebody, and so are 344 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 4: we that? 345 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 3: Are we that. 346 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 2: Uh, celebrity oriented celebrity's mother disappear that we just we 347 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 2: have to like wall the wall coverage about it. 348 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 4: Where were you, like six months ago it was somebody's 349 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 4: hairstylist dyed and it was made national news. 350 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 3: I guess I missed that. 351 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 4: Well, thank goodness for you, because apparently. 352 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 2: Unlike you, I don't sit at the checkout line in 353 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 2: the grocery store and read the Inquirer or the Star, 354 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 2: which apparently that's what you're doing every single day. Good grief. 355 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 2: Let me get you a book. You're better read warm 356 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 2: Peace or something. Okay, all right, all right, back to COVID. 357 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: So think about how badly that has interrupted our life 358 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 2: and how much it's changed our lives people. 359 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 3: You know, I still occasionally see you people wearing masks, 360 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 3: which is fine. I don't care. 361 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: Just don't mandate that I wear a mask and think 362 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 2: about how many people just you know, without, which tells me. 363 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 2: It also that we didn't teach anything about basic biology 364 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 2: in high school or junior higher for that matter, college 365 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 2: because Oh, it's a virus, so we want you to 366 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,959 Speaker 2: wear a mask. Oh a virus is a virus can 367 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: go through the mask. Bacteria, that's a different story. Bacteria 368 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 2: is larger than a virus. 369 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 4: Oh. 370 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 2: So it was just more than a phone call. It 371 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 2: was a group of scientists at the highest levels of 372 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 2: government deciding that they wanted to not protect you. No, 373 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 2: they wanted to protect their funding. They wanted to protect 374 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 2: their money laundering scheme. They wanted to protect their own reputations. 375 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 2: They wanted to protect geopolitical concerns more important than telling 376 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 2: the world the truth about a pandemic that might kill millions. 377 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 2: And then every single lockdown, every school closure, every business destroyed, 378 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 2: every career ruined for asking the wrong question, and it 379 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 2: traces back, at least in part to the decision made 380 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 2: on that phone call six years ago yesterday, And not 381 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 2: because the lab leak would have changed the virus itself, 382 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: but the cover up. It's always the up to cover 383 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 2: up poisoned the well of public trust in science, in government, 384 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 2: and it set us you and me all fighting one another. 385 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 2: People fighting over masks, people fighting over don't get too 386 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 2: close to me, don't if people fighting over you know, Oh, 387 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 2: look at me, Look Look at how great I am. 388 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 2: I'm taking my family to the beach and get some 389 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 2: fresh air. But then the cops show up and arrest 390 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 2: you because you're on the beach at a long beach somewhere, 391 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 2: or you go for a walk. Oh oh, let me 392 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 2: cross the other side of the street because we're out 393 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 2: with the wind blowing, and that little virus you know, 394 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 2: is gonna it can sustain hurricane force winds. What those 395 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 2: scientists did, they turned the whole concept to follow the 396 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: science into that's like, it turned follow the science into 397 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 2: the equivalent of the word racist or racism. It just 398 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 2: stopped the debate. It just stopped everything. And they didn't 399 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 2: just lie about the origin. They built an entire new orthodoxy, 400 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 2: and then they excommunicated everybody who questioned that orthodoxy. You 401 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 2: got kicked out of the Church of Humanity. And here 402 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 2: we are, having looked today, but at least says of yesterday, 403 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 2: more than half a million people had looked at that 404 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 2: post in a single day. It's funny how the truth 405 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: has a way of finally bubbling up to the top, 406 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 2: doesn't it. But don't pretend that it's over, because the 407 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 2: same institutions, the same incentive structures, the same people are 408 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 2: still in place. The question isn't whether they lie, because 409 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: we know they lied. The question is what are we 410 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: really going to do about it? What are we going 411 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 2: to do about the next time? Because we do live 412 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 2: in a world where I can go out to Denver 413 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 2: International and depending you know, not counting the check in 414 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 2: time and you know, the waiting for the gate or 415 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 2: delays or anything else, I can check in. I can 416 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 2: be in London in eight hours. I can be halfway 417 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 2: around the world in twelve hours. I can be in 418 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 2: Australian eighteen hours or whatever it is. I can be 419 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 2: anywhere in the world in less than a day. So 420 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 2: it's easy for us to recognize that we ought to 421 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 2: recognize that, you know, eight billion people now, we don't 422 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 2: all live in close quarters. We're not all living in 423 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 2: New York. In fact, probably more people moving out in 424 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 2: New York than ever. Colorado's population is stagnant for the 425 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 2: first time since nineteen eighty nine. So we've changed the 426 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: way we do everything, just everything. I still see businesses 427 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 2: that got closed that are still closed. 428 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 3: We do stupid stuff, you know. 429 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 2: I still occasionally, not often, I'll still see somebody wearing 430 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: a mask in a car and I have to tell myself, 431 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 2: calm down. Maybe they're you know, maybe they're just really 432 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 2: really scared to death and they're they're afraid they're going 433 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 2: to catch something. So what do I care If they 434 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 2: want to live in fear the rest of their lives, 435 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 2: Let them live in fear the rest of their lives. 436 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 2: But it just irritates me knowing Fauci as I do. 437 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 2: That Fauci is, you know, was the highest government paid employee. 438 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 3: I think still is. 439 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 2: I mean, even with this pension, I think he is 440 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 2: still the highest paid government employee. Yes, more than Donald Trump. 441 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 2: And I know Trump doesn't take US four hundred thousand 442 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 2: dollars year salary, but nonetheless, Fauci, Fauci's pulling down a 443 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 2: pension of half a million dollars a year or more, 444 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 2: and there are no consequences for any of these people. 445 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 2: And gain of function. I would bet, I would bet 446 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 2: my kingdom that gain of function studies are still going 447 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 2: on at Fort Meade or at Wuhan or some place, 448 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 2: because well, the crazy mad scientists I want to see 449 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 2: if they can make something worse than it really is. 450 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 3: Huh. 451 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 2: That sounds like the motto of US government. Let's have 452 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 2: things up worse than they already are. Yes So six 453 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 2: years ago yesterday is really when it started. And then 454 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 2: we had all the money. We increased the baseline of 455 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 2: the federal budget. So now we oh, well we'll just 456 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 2: spend four trillion dollars forever from now on. It's insane. 457 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 2: We'll put in all these regulations, you know. And then 458 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 2: somebody comes along, like Bobby Kennedy Junior, starts trying to 459 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 2: kind of let let's kind of get back to some reasonableness. 460 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 2: Let's get back to some like let's just have potato 461 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 2: chips that are really just you know, sliced potatoes fried, 462 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: and you know some sort of like beef tallow or something. 463 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 2: Let's try to get back to some basics. But everybody's 464 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 2: absolutely afraid. 465 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 6: To do so. Michael, good morning from beautiful Draper, Utah. 466 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 6: I have to tell you, this greater subtle like area 467 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 6: is pretty impressive. Not only is the scenery eye poppingly fantastic, 468 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 6: and the mountains are gorgeous. I'm right along the Jordan River, 469 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 6: which has a beautiful bike path. I must tell you, 470 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 6: the roads around there seem to be made so much 471 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 6: better than I don't know, Colorado. The traffic moves very fast, 472 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 6: and I have yet to see one homeless encampment anywhere. 473 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 3: Oh, shut up and go away. 474 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 2: Well, we don't need you, you know, calling in, you know, 475 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 2: making us all feel bad because we live in a 476 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 2: you know, progressive, communist blue state. 477 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 4: I can confirm my father and stepmother live in you know, 478 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 4: Celex City of Utah, and we travel there a couple 479 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 4: of times a year.

In fact, one 513 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 2: time we were in d C. And he wanted to 514 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 2: go see the temple. That say kind of north up 515 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 2: in Maryland. And so we drove and drove and drove 516 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 2: and drove, and we finally found this. You rush out 517 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 2: on the beltway right, and we finally get to the 518 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 2: temple and he goes, well, do you want to come in? 519 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 2: And I said, well, yeah, I'd like to see it. 520 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 2: Well you can only see like the entryway. You can't 521 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: come in where I'm going in. And it just offended me. 522 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: I like, well, Christa, no, no, I'm not gonna no, 523 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do that. You know, in our church, 524 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 2: we'd welcome you all in back to six years ago 525 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 2: February one. What's happened to our society since then? There 526 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 2: are a lot of some would say intended consequences that 527 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 2: we are still suffering from. And I'm going to you know, 528 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 2: maybe I should just do this once a year when 529 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 2: it's Groundhog Day and dragons playing Sonny and Chare. We'll 530 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 2: just well, I'll just keep repeating these and keep pounding 531 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 2: in into your head so you never ever forget you 532 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 2: think about education and child development. The learning loss students 533 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 2: lost four to eight months of learning on average, and 534 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 2: of course, low income and minority students were hit the hardest. Oh, 535 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: I thought we cared about minority students. I thought it 536 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 2: was racist not to care about them. We destroyed them. 537 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 2: High schoolers lost the equivalent of half a year in math. 538 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 2: And now we're seeing, you know, all those cohorts struggled 539 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 2: in college preparedness and early career entry because they didn't 540 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 2: get the education. We created chronic absenteeism. 541 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 3: And then the one that. 542 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 2: I got some data, but it's so important, the one 543 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 2: that really drives me crazy, social emotional deficits. An entire 544 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 2: cohort of young kids missed critical developmental windows for learning 545 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 2: how to interact with their peers. 546 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 3: Teachers report the. 547 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 2: Kids who were in preschool early education during the lockdowns 548 00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 2: had notably worse conflict resolution skills, can't control their emotions, 549 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 2: and they lack basic social competencies. Oh that's our future. 550 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 2: Oh there's always for the children. What bull crap special 551 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 2: education regression. Kids that had individual education plans, who had 552 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 2: developmental disabilities lost years of progress, and a lot of 553 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 2: those services could be delivered remotely, So they got screwed. Twice, 554 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 2: we had the whole public health infrastructure collapse. Trust collapsed, 555 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 2: public health authorities spent significant credibility all that CDC guidance 556 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 2: and then reverse it on again, off again messaging inconsistencies, 557 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 2: the lab leek theory, on again off again healthcare workers 558 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 2: just a mass exodus of doctors, nurses, and support staff 559 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 2: all left the profession because of burnout, trauma, and of 560 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 2: course being scapegoaded. The shortage was already bad even before 561 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 2: the pandemic. COVID just accelerated it by years. Rural hospitals. 562 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 2: Go to any rural home hospital and see how they're 563 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 2: just barely clinging. Now, I know it's not all COVID. 564 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 2: Some of that stupid things like government policies out of 565 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 2: the state led to the state polit bureau that screw 566 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 2: up Medicaid. And then think about the economic consequences and. 567 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 3: The workforce consequences. 568 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not pounding these into your head next hour, 569 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 2: don't go away,
