1
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. It's Monday, March three eighth.

2
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: We are in week two of quarantine. The President has

3
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: an update for how long these measures should be continued.

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: I'll share that with you. Plus the arrival of a

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: US Navy ship here in New York City preparing for

6
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: the deluge of cases to come in the weeks ahead,

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: and how does China factor into all this, plus the

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: politics around the coronavirus fight coming up on the Buck

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. This is the bus Sexton Show, where the

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: mission or mission is to decode what really matters with

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: actionable intelligence. Make no mistake. Here a great American again,

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. No, yeah,

13
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't want high approval ratings for this. I wish

14
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: we could have our old life back. We had the

15
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: greatest economy that we've ever had, and we didn't have deaths.

16
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: We didn't have this, We didn't have this horrible scourge,

17
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: this plague, you call it whatever you want, the virus.

18
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: But we're working very hard. This all I know. You know,

19
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: I see things, I see numbers. They don't matter to me.

20
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: What matters to me is that we have a victory

21
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: over this thing as soon as possible. When you hear

22
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: that two point two million people could have died if

23
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: we didn't go through all of this, and now the

24
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: number will be, you know, a much lower number. Hopefully

25
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: it's going to be the numbers that we're talking about.

26
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: But so I appreciate it very much. But you know

27
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: what I want is I want our life back again.

28
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: I want our country back. I want the world back.

29
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: I want the world to get rid of this this again.

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty one countries and we're gonna do it.

31
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a great victory. Welcome to the box,

32
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: Sex and share everybody from here in New York City

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: to you all across the country and around the world.

34
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: The President giving voice to exactly what so many of

35
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: us are thinking right now. We want our lives back,

36
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: we want our country back, we want our world back.

37
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: And this virus has now shown people that it is

38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: much more than was anticipated a couple of months ago.

39
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: The response to it is going to be a point

40
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: of difficulty and pain for a lot of people. And

41
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: what the economic ramivocations of this may be, nobody can

42
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: tell you yet. But we now are in it. We

43
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: are in this fight that really the last few weeks

44
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: it felt like preparation for here we are now trying

45
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: to establish all the supplies we need, the protocols and

46
00:02:53,080 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: the best possible practices for defeating a pandemic. That still

47
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: stunning that we're at this point right now, and it's

48
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: also a reminder of really how petty and how unserious

49
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: to so many of the political squabbles of the past

50
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: have been. Here we are desperately trying to come together

51
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: to create enough masks and ventilators, get all this personal

52
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: protective equipment in place. Here we are doing here, we

53
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: are doing everything in our power to try and find

54
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: a way forward that saves the maximum amount of lives,

55
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: while also trying to maintain some economic activity going forward,

56
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: or at least the ability to have an economy, because

57
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: lives also are quite clearly dependent upon that. Anyone who

58
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: doesn't think so should stop and ask will hold on

59
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: a second, If a shortage of ventilators is going to

60
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: cause death, where do the ventilators come from? We need

61
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: economic activity in this country, and the President certainly understands that.

62
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: But I must say yesterday at his press conference, it

63
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: was quite clear that there has been a change in

64
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: thinking from this administration to straight up lockdown. That's where

65
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: we are. We are in the national battened down the

66
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: hatches phase of this fight. The President had to tell

67
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: everybody that the member I had been telling you that

68
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: fifteen days, fifteen days to stop the spread. That was

69
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: the initial campaign, and we should give him the fifteen days. Well,

70
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: we've done that. We've gotten to week two of that.

71
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: And instead of thinking that we're anywhere near being finished,

72
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: what we have been told is the following. This was

73
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: the President yesterday, Bruce and Mark Plick Clip four. The

74
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: modeling estimates that the peak in death rate is likely

75
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: to hit in two weeks. So I'll say it again,

76
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: the peak, the highest point of remember this is likely

77
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: to hit in two weeks. Nothing would be worse than

78
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: declaring victory before the victory is one that would be

79
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: the greatest loss of all. Therefore, the next two weeks

80
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: and during this period, it's very important that every one

81
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: strongly follow the guidelines, have to follow the guidelines that

82
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: our great Vice President holds up a lot. He's holding

83
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: that up a lot. He believes in it so strongly.

84
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: The better you do, the faster this whole nightmare will end. Therefore,

85
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: we will be extending our guidelines to April thirtieth to

86
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: slow the spread. We are on quarantine here in New

87
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: York City and other cities as well. We are putting

88
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: in place maximum protective measures for another thirty days. Effectively,

89
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: that's where we're going to be. It's not going to

90
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: be made before you even have some restoration of normal

91
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: economic activity. It's going to be quite a while before

92
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: we see ourselves able to start to breathe more easily.

93
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: Pardon the expression, this was a tough one. Now, the

94
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: market didn't really react very negatively negatively to this today,

95
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: I think in part because the expectation is at the rescue,

96
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: the two trillion dollar rescue package is going to be

97
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,559
Speaker 1: able to sustain the economy with all of the direct

98
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: cash infusions as well as these loans for small businesses,

99
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: that it'll sustain the economy for at least three or

100
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: four months, more or less. We'll see if that's correct.

101
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: Remember that no one's ever done this before. There is

102
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: no playbook for putting an economy at a deep freeze.

103
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: There's no precedent for a society as large as ours,

104
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: with the complexity that ours has, of telling people that

105
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: they have to stay at home, and in New York

106
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: it's getting particularly extreme. I'll bring you into Look, I

107
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: understand this is a show that many of you all

108
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: across the country here, but New York is the worst

109
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: hit place in the entire country right now with this,

110
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: and what you're seeing here is going to be replicated elsewhere,

111
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: the spread of the disease, the fight now it perhaps

112
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: the aggregate numbers here will be larger, but keep in

113
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: mind that the hospital system here, the hospital system here

114
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: is also larger and more complicated than what you would have,

115
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: more complex than what you would have in a vast

116
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: majority probably all other metro marias in the country, just

117
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: because of the size of New York City itself. So

118
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: the President said, look, give us until the end of April.

119
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: Give us until the end of April to get this

120
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: thing as under control as we can, and then we'll

121
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: look to start to have more normal economic activity. I

122
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: guess now we are really in the government's hands here

123
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: in a way that makes me deeply uncomfortable. I'm sure

124
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: many of you feel exactly the same way. There's that

125
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: I have two conflicting emotions about the government response. On

126
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: the one hand. I want to be optimistic and I

127
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: want to be cheerful about their prospects for long term success.

128
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing you can't be cheerful now, it's

129
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: it's bleak out there, my friends. But be optimistic, better word,

130
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: about the long term possibilities here, and I'm hoping for

131
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: the best from our government response. I'm also seeing a

132
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: combination of incompetence and dictatorial impulse from the people that

133
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: are in charge, specifically here in the Mayor of New

134
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: York City, but you'll see this elsewhere too. This is

135
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: going to be a stress test on our society and

136
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: on us, the likes of which we have never seen before,

137
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: this disease. At this point, based on what I'm hearing,

138
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: and I've spoken to numerous doctors who are dealing with

139
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: this problem themselves, and what they're telling me is this

140
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: is I thought it was going to be bad. Really

141
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, I've realized that this is going

142
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: to be We're in for a real nightmare here. It's

143
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: the disease itself is worse than I had anticipated. I mean,

144
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm not a healthcare expert. I all I can do

145
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: is read what I read, read what I see. Everyone

146
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: reads what they read, but I am seeing now that

147
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: this is even a level beyond and there are younger,

148
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: healthier people, people in their forties and fifties, who are

149
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: needing to go in for emergency care and get intubated

150
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: on this. So look, you don't come here so that

151
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: I can tell you, oh my gosh, the sky is

152
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: falling and it's not. We're gonna be all right. As

153
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: I've been saying, we will get through this. As a country.

154
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: We certainly have better days ahead. And I think that

155
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: while we're preparing for this and trying to look at

156
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: all the most up to date information we can, it's

157
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: worth remembering that there will be there will be a

158
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: renewed sense that perhaps for you it might even start today,

159
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: an appreciation for the lives that we have been able

160
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: to lead in this country up to this point, and

161
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: a renewed appreciation down the line once we can return

162
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: to some degree of normalcy for really what we have.

163
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: I spent much of my time the first three years

164
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: of the Trump presidency on air, a lot of the time,

165
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: but I repeatedly said to you all, don't listen to

166
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: the people in the media. They're talking about all this

167
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: enjoy your life. You know this, who listen to the

168
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: show said, enjoy where we are. Unbelievable prosperity, relative peace,

169
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: no major terrorist attacks looming over our heads, no economic catastrophe.

170
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: All those things were true until year four. And as

171
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: we enter year four the Trump presidency, he got hit.

172
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: And this is the toughest thing that any American president

173
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: has been hit with since Pearl Harbor. Honestly, this is

174
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: the most And some of you would say, well, in

175
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: some ways, maybe even the Great Depression was a bigger

176
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: challenge than Pearl Harbor itself. We're gonna win, but I'm

177
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: just saying, you have to go back. This is one

178
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: hundred year challenge we're facing right now. Once every hundred

179
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: years of society like ours faces something like this. Now.

180
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: I do take a positive, long term view. I will

181
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: continue to do that. We have a lot to get

182
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: through here today. I've talked to doctors about the prospects

183
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: of these different drugs. The Gilead anti viral drug, the

184
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: drug that's actually used to treat gout. It's been around

185
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: for a very long time, an old drug up in Montreal.

186
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: There's also chloroquin and a zithromycin there's serology tests to

187
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: look at your blood and see if you have anybodies.

188
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot of new weapons, just like in any war.

189
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: I mean, those of you who are history buffs. No,

190
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: if you go back to the First World War, Second

191
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: World War, the speed of munition development during a war,

192
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: it's like nothing else because there's a really obvious and

193
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: immediate need for better weapons. We are going to see that,

194
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: I believe, with this disease, we are going to see

195
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: a weaponization of the medical community's knowledge against this virus

196
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: at an unprecedented pace. And it's necessary because this virus

197
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: is even more contagious and nasty and dangerous than a

198
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: vast majority of people who are following it anticipated. This

199
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: thing is. This is bad. It's so bad that you

200
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: start to wonder this really just occurred naturally in nature.

201
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: This wasn't anything that any human beings anywhere around the

202
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: world perhaps had any hand in messing with. Again, I

203
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: don't know, but it's a question. We have to leave

204
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: open the possibility until we really know what happened here.

205
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: I feel like we have to leave open a lot

206
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: of possibilities. We've been lied to a lot. We're being

207
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 1: lied to you right now by the Chinese government. Every

208
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: day they're saying they have no new cases. We'll get

209
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: to that. But on the upside here, as I've been saying,

210
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: you will appreciate your life more than you ever have,

211
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: and we are through this. I think that's my belief.

212
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: I certainly will. I'll appreciate little things about life. And

213
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: there's also a closest now that you feel with the

214
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: people that you love. There's a recognition we are all

215
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: We've always been on borrowed time. Now we know we're

216
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: on borrowed time. Now we've been reminded in this era,

217
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: we're all trying to extend youth, you know, into the

218
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: end of a century of our own lifespan. Right, we'll

219
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: all think we're going to live forever and ever and

220
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: be healthy forever and ever. And you know that lessons

221
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: a little bit as you get older. But now you

222
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: know these people that in their twenties and their thirties

223
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: thinking about mortality, thinking about societal collapse, that just never

224
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: really enters your mind. It doesn't really come up. And

225
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: we see that all societies have dealt with this stretching

226
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: back for all of human history, pestilence, plague, this has

227
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: been around for as long as we've been gathering, since

228
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: we came out of the caves and came together and

229
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: started farming and having something that we would call now

230
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: a society. So this is not new in that sense

231
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: at all. But this particular virus reminds us that we

232
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: can all walk around with supercomputers in our pockets that

233
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: we call smartphones, with instantaneous computation, with technology, with communications

234
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: that seem like they're from an alien race compared to

235
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: what we would have had even forty or fifty years ago.

236
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: And yet someone somewhere becoming infected with something you can't

237
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: even see has brought modern society to this point where

238
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: we are in a real fight. We're in a fight

239
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: the likes of which we've never seen before. As I

240
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: said to you, this is a once in a hundred

241
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: years challenge, and you know, it really does take us back.

242
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: There's nothing like this that we have faced in one

243
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: concentrated dose. Yes, the Cold War nuclear weapons staring at

244
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: each other across the line of mutually assured destruction and

245
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: all that, but that was long and drawn out, and

246
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: there was always in the back of our minds some

247
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: sense that you can deal with human beings human beings,

248
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: you can understand even if they don't have remorse, if

249
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: they don't have any sense of decency, which is usually

250
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: not the case. They all have weak points, right the

251
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: immortal words of Schwarzenegger and Predator. If it bleeds, we

252
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: can kill it. Viruses don't bleed, we do. And so

253
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: we are at a disadvantage in that respect, and we

254
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: are mobilizing our society against something that has the ability,

255
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: unfortunately to hit us now and come back and hit

256
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: us again in the future. This will change us forever.

257
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: I'll be thinking more in the weeks ahead as we

258
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: do this show, and this show really has become a

259
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: lifeline for my sense of connection and quite honestly a

260
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: continued stability and sanity in the midst of being in

261
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: quarantine in New York City. But this will also change us.

262
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: This whole process we're going through, we're seeing right now

263
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: of dealing with this virus will change society in ways

264
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: that nobody can really anticipate the part of it. I

265
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: think at an individual level, there'll be a lot of

266
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: lessons learned from this that you can view as growth,

267
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: as positive, you know, assuming we get through this without

268
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: horrific levels of casualties. We're going to have a lot

269
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: of loss of life, which is terrible and deeply regrettable

270
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: in every sense. But there'll be individuals, I think, who

271
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: come out of this with a different view of what

272
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: really matters. The part of me that is most concerned

273
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: is for the structure as we have in place in

274
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: terms of long term threat. And we will beat this virus.

275
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll beat in eighteen months, but we will beat it.

276
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: But what does the government look like, what does our

277
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: economy look like? What does America and the world look

278
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: like in eighteen months. I can't begin to tell you

279
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: that I know the answer, but I'm going to be

280
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: sharing thoughts with you as we go ahead. Here, you're

281
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: in the Freedom und This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

282
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: We're all in this together, all of us. I have

283
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: never seen anything like it. The unity, the spirit of cord,

284
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: the spirit. I've never seen anything like it. It's a

285
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: beautiful thing to watch. Unfortunately, the enemy is death. It's death.

286
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: A lot of people are dying, so it's very unpleasant.

287
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: It's a very unpleasant thing to go through. But the

288
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: level of competence, the level of caring, the level of love,

289
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: I just think it's brilliant, and it's possibly happening, happening

290
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: in other countries. Possibly, I don't know. I can't speak

291
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: to other countries, but I can speak to the United

292
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: States of America. And I've said it before and I'll

293
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: say it again. I am very proud to be your president.

294
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: He knows how serious this is for anybody who was

295
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: doubtful before. And I understand there is certainly a lack

296
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: of trust, and there should be a lack of trust

297
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: in our national news media. When this is all through

298
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: and done with, I hope people realize that these media,

299
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: these media brands that pretend to be objective journalists, it's

300
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: not just a function of I don't like them because

301
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: of their politics and their dishonesty. It's that they have

302
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: done a massive disservice by lighting their credibility on fire.

303
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: We needed a media going into this that we could trust.

304
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: We needed a media where and they came. They came

305
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: on TV and they said to the American people, Hey,

306
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: forget about Trump for a second. This is real. Here's

307
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: the information I want to give you on this. Some

308
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: people did this. I'm not saying whenever I talk with

309
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: the media, there's obviously exceptions. There are some individuals, some

310
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: networks network that were more willing to just bring the

311
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: American people facts and information. But by and large, our

312
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: media let us down at a point of absolute crisis,

313
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: where information was the difference between life and death. They'd

314
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: rather play games and throw food at Donald Trump. Thanks

315
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: for listening to the Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to

316
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you

317
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. Why don't you act in a little

318
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: more positive It's always trying to question to you as

319
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: you get you, and you know what, that's why nobody

320
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: trusts the media anymore. How's that going to you? Didn't

321
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: hear me? That's why you used to work for the

322
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: Times and now you work for somebody else. Look, let

323
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: me tell you something. Be nice. Be nice. This was

324
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: what the press reporter on more than anything else. While

325
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: the President of the United States yesterday is telling us

326
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 1: that we all basically have to be on lockdown for

327
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: thirty days, that we have to be on lockdown, that

328
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: people cannot go and do their jobs, cannot go about

329
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 1: their lines for another month. We are losing a half

330
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: a quarter built in now a half a quarter of

331
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: economic activity in GDP. Now, I know when we start

332
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: talking about these things, you start talking about what the

333
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: economic impact of this will be long term. You have

334
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: a lot of individuals who say, you're you're you know,

335
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: you're throwing granny off the cliff, You're killing old people,

336
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: You're so hardless. No, I want us to be in

337
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: the best position possible as a country to say the

338
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: maximum number of lives and have the maximum number of decent,

339
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: decent conditions for life in this country. The amount of

340
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: the loss of life that could start to happen if

341
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: we have real decay, forget about decay that's too slow,

342
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: collapse of civil society, and what happens in the streets.

343
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I can tell you this, and I'm going

344
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: to be coming in and out on what I'm seeing

345
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: here in New York. You know, there's some positives and

346
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: there's some some real downsides. But first let me go

347
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: back to before I give you my New York centric

348
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: view of this. I mean, I can see a lot

349
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: of Midtown and I can basically see Times Square from

350
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: my window. Now, a lot of you have a pretty

351
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: good sense of where I am in the city. But

352
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm close enough to the very heart

353
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: of things that I have a particular, a true perspective

354
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: and view on exactly what's going on in the busiest

355
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: part of the whole city. But I'll get back that first.

356
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: Let me just say that this exchange yet with Yami

357
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: Yai or Yamish, I'm not trying to be funny. I

358
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: actually forget how to pronounce her name. I think it's

359
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: I think it's Yamish. So she's a journalist and her

360
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: name was trending on Twitter. It's y am I. So

361
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to again, not making jokes here, I

362
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: just don't know how to pronounce her name. But she

363
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: got into this exchange with the president, and you had

364
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: all these people who were saying journalists out there who

365
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: while I'm sitting here wondering, and you know, I talked

366
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: to a doctor this morning. I'm talking to you, doctor,

367
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: friends of mine, as often as I can to get

368
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,239
Speaker 1: as much information as I can, because this isn't my area. Mean,

369
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: after nine eleven, I went off the CIA, and really

370
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: our main, our main national security threat, our effort was

371
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: against radical radical Islamic terrorism around the world. We had

372
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: two wars with this and this became an area that

373
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: I knew. I had expertise. I knew how much we

374
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: had to worry about different terrorist groups, and I had

375
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: an understanding that other people didn't. And I also knew

376
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: what information the US can I was just I was

377
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: a worker b but I knew what information the top

378
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: people in the US government were making their determinations off

379
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: of because I was seeing it too with this with coronavirus. Uh.

380
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,239
Speaker 1: You know, this is not an area where I can

381
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: tell you anything other than I'm just researching and learning

382
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: as fast as I can, as furiously as I can,

383
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: every single day, and I'm trying to bring you the

384
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: most valuable information with some context that I can, and

385
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: also doing making my best efforts to be Look, I'm

386
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 1: never going to be at not political. It's just not

387
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: who I am when it comes to the way I

388
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: view things. I'm honest with you about my sense of

389
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: reality and life and politics and everything else. But I'm

390
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: trying to make this really about defeating the virus as

391
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: much as I can, and less about the nasty and

392
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: often pointless back and forth with the left and the right.

393
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: But the way that journalists who have the opportunity to

394
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: go directly to the source and ask the president during

395
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: these press conferences, the way that they go after him

396
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: day after day, what do they really think they are

397
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: doing here that is worthwhile? And how can they be

398
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: so petty and so immature and irresponsible that they think

399
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: that this is a good way to spend their time.

400
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: You know, this Yamish talking to the president. You know,

401
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: yesterday they I stand with Yamish or there was some

402
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: kind of a hashtag about how as if this is

403
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: an important thing that was going on. Look, I think

404
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: the president, Yeah, should he lose his temper with journalists?

405
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: I mean and under other circumstances, probably not, because I

406
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: didn't really think the president is able to get a

407
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: moment's peace right now. It doesn't even think that he's

408
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: a human being who also is tired, who's worried about

409
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: family members, who's worried about his own health. The Prime

410
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: Minister of the UK has COVID nineteen. Now, we we

411
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: haven't yet seen any evidence that no matter, you could

412
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: probably have the best medical care into the world right now,

413
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: and there's no evidence to prove that if your immune system,

414
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: because of age or other reasons, is not up for

415
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: the fight, there's not that much they can do for you.

416
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: So everybody's worried. Everybody's worried. People particularly in the high

417
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: risk category, are worried about this. But instead of just

418
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: focusing in on getting people the information that we all

419
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,239
Speaker 1: want to have right now, that we all know we

420
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: need to have so that we can better take care

421
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: of each other and of ourselves, journalists want to play games,

422
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: and they're all doing this thing where they're saying that

423
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: that this is necessary because Trumps has boxed this response

424
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: so badly. This is going to turn into a huge

425
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: vicious political back and forth, especially because we have an

426
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: election in the fall, as you know, and we may

427
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: end up having something more like The New York Times

428
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: what a piece in this today. I've been thinking it

429
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: for a while in Britain for the Prime Minister that

430
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: they have a six week condensed election schedule. We're going

431
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: to have a condensed election schedule because you can't do

432
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: the rallies. You can't do and it's in that sense

433
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: it's really not a fair you know, if Russia interfered

434
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: in the last election, the virus is going to have

435
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: interfered in this election. There's no question about it. We're

436
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: not going to have a normal I'm talking about process wise,

437
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: never mind just current events. We're not going to have

438
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: a normal process. I think that's clear at this point.

439
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: And there's going to be a lot of calls and

440
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: a lot of information, a lot of effort to try

441
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: to make this even more easy, and probably people are

442
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: going to want to do mail in ballots, vote online. Anyway,

443
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm getting it a little ahead of myself with that.

444
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: Trump is trying to get the media to be a

445
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: little bit more positive, a little bit less nasty, because

446
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: people are scared right now, and fear leads to bad decisions.

447
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll tell you this. A week ago, I

448
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: was thinking about how if we keep doing this, we're

449
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: heading for a great depression. Now the administration is saying, Okay,

450
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to hit a great depression.

451
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: We've got this covered for a while. Do I believe them?

452
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: Not really? But am I willing to at least now

453
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: say Okay, they're making the calls. I've made, I've made

454
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: my case, I've made my piece. You know, the liberal

455
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: journalists out there who view this all through a political

456
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: lens and can't even can't tone it down, can't tone

457
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: it down even a little bit. I think that they honestly,

458
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: they're they've kind of lost it. They've lost it for

459
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: a long time when it comes to covering this president

460
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: and when it comes to what we see here with

461
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: the way that they'll ask them questions in public, and

462
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: then they'll talk about how they're on the front lines

463
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: of covering this Oh, there are journalists who are taking risks,

464
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: all right, I really need to not hear that right now,

465
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: because we have medical staff taking risks all across the country.

466
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: You have pediatricians who have to take COVID nineteen precautions

467
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: for every patient I'm not even talking about in hospitals,

468
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: just in practice anywhere, for every patient they see, knowing

469
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: that they may be exposed to not just the kid,

470
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: but also the parents coming in. Infection. Viral load matters,

471
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: the degree of the virus that you are exposed to,

472
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: from what I understand from an immunological standpoint, matters, and

473
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: people on the front lines are taking in that sense,

474
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: the most risk, the healthcare providers, but also people that

475
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: are working in grocery stores and the people that are

476
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: out there are those in the logistics realm who are

477
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: keeping all this stuff going and I really, you know,

478
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: I thank one of the guys who make sure that

479
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: the you know, the heat and the electricity is on

480
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: my building. Today I saw him in my lobby here

481
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: in New York, and I said, I just want to say, man,

482
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: thank you for coming to work. And he kind of

483
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: nodded his head a little bit and he appreciated it.

484
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: But I could also tell he's worried. He's worried, and

485
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: every time I go outside my home and go walk

486
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: around the streets, I'll tell you what that looks like.

487
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: But I have a very different so you have to

488
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: excuse me if I sound a little bit more concern

489
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: today than I ever have one. I think the numbers

490
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: justify the escalating concern. So there's that just from a

491
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: data perspective, but also there's I'm seeing it now. I

492
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: see what's going on, and I've talked to people who

493
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: are also having firsthand experience with this, and I'm in

494
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: the worst place. I'm in the worst place. So think

495
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: of it as though I'm doing a radio show for

496
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: you now, and it's like my city is being hit

497
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: with a hurricane and we're still in the middle of

498
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: the hurricane, and there's a really serious consideration that this

499
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: hurricane is going to hit a lot of other cities

500
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: right after it hits this one. If you, if you

501
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: put my comments today, I think into that context. Now

502
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: a lot of you are Look if you're in rural

503
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: Iowa or you know, or you're in you know, like

504
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 1: I said, West Texas, or you're in you know, Utah

505
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: outside of Salt Lake City, somewhere, you're outside of Portland,

506
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe an hour's drive. Yeah, you're probably going

507
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: to be fine in terms of your exposure to the virus,

508
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: or I should say, it's unlikely that you'll come into

509
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people who have infected have been infected

510
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: with this virus. But if you live in a city,

511
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean New Orleans, is it just breaks my heart.

512
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: I love New Orleans. It's just a it's a magical

513
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: and I mean there's just something so special and so

514
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: cool about it in so many ways. New Orleans is

515
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: getting hit really badly right now. Miami, another place I

516
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: love to visit, getting hit really badly. You know other

517
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: cities that I you know, I just I can't even

518
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: name them off top of my head. Detroit's in bad shape.

519
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna get worse. So it's gonna happen elsewhere too,

520
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: and understand that the government is making decisions based upon

521
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: what they're seeing happening in these cities. Right now, I

522
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: just like to see there's an opportunity here, and I'm

523
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: going to try to be self assessing as I go

524
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: through this. I mean, I've told you that this virus

525
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: it's worse than I thought I was bad a month ago.

526
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: It's worse than I thought it would be. It's worse

527
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: than I thought I would be. I'm gonna try to

528
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: self assess as I go through this, because I'm just

529
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: coming to this like all of you, as somebody who

530
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: approaches it with an eye to up as much information

531
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: as possible, learning as much as I can, making the

532
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: best decisions I can, and pushing for the smartest policy

533
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: for the most people. There are no perfect answers here.

534
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: There's no perfect policy. You're going to see, for example,

535
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: that those who were saying just send everybody home, shut

536
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: down the school, send everybody home. There was a spike

537
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: in infections. I can almost guarantee you the data will

538
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: prove this. They've seen it elsewhere. They have, from what

539
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: I understand right now, already shown this to be the

540
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: case in some parts of northern Italy. Sending the young

541
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: people home to quarantine with older relatives was an enormous miscalculation,

542
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: an enormous mistake that is likely to be one that

543
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: we revisit. So, you know, people are making good faith

544
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: errors here and trying to calculate what are sound policies

545
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: that mitigate risk properly versus what allows us to have

546
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: an economy so that we still have doctors getting paid

547
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 1: and assembly lines making masks in this country, along with

548
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: keeping food on the shelves and preventing there from being riots.

549
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: And you know, there's a lot of moving pieces here.

550
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: And I just also appreciate so much that all of

551
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: you are joining me still every day. And I mean,

552
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: we can tell that this audience is still tuning in

553
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: stn't want to know what's going on. I think a

554
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: lot of what you're seeing, unfortunately on cable news is

555
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: just filler at this point, a lot of repetition. You know,

556
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: they're interviewing the same people. I don't know why everyone

557
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: wants to interview someone who's already been in a press

558
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: conference for two hours asking questions. I think that that's

559
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: at some point that just becomes repetitive, and I think

560
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: the information value of that is less than some seem

561
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: to think it is. But nonetheless it's it's it's troubling

562
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: for me to see what's going on here, and also

563
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: the lack of a willingness to put aside the partisan

564
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: hatchet just for a moment. Well, this country, at least

565
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: this city. I mean, I can't speak to how bad

566
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: will be in the rest of the country. This city

567
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: and other cities, though, are going to get it really hard.

568
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: We're already gained it really Audio. You're in the Freedom

569
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: hud This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. You know,

570
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: your campaign put out you're a critique of President Trump

571
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: and says if he doesn't do these things you know

572
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: he could, he could cost lives. Do you think there's

573
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: already Do you think there is blood on the President's

574
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: hands considering the slow response or is that to two

575
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: hearts of a criticism. I think that's a little too harsh.

576
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: I think what's happening is that failure too. As I

577
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: watched a tree limb to your show where someone said

578
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: that made use the phrase that the president just thinks

579
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: out loud. He should stop thinking out loud. And start

580
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: thinking deeply. He should start listening to the scientists before

581
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: he speaks. He should listen to the health experts. I

582
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: get really tired of this talking point that the president

583
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: should listen to the health experts. The health experts are

584
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: with him and speaking directly the American people every day,

585
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: and he just made a massive decision that some people

586
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: may look back on. I know, right now, it's okay,

587
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: the virus is really bad in some places in the country.

588
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: It's going to get worse in other places. Let's shut

589
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: down for the entire month of April. Let's hope that

590
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: the response from the administration to deal with the economy

591
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: is sufficient. There is the chance that we will look

592
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: back at this decision to shut down well beyond easter,

593
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: to go weeks beyond easter, and recognize that economically it

594
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: was disastrous in a way that you know, we'll see,

595
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: We'll see. I'm hoping that's that's not the case. You know,

596
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: all along, I've been wondering, why is not more of

597
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: the focus on protecting vulnerable populations and just doing social mitigation,

598
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: but allowing people to do more work or to do

599
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: more of their jobs. But I suppose for things like

600
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: restaurants and other businesses. Congregating in numbers is an essential

601
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: part of the business, so you can't really change that.

602
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: It's a very complicated problem. And people that are going

603
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: around dunking on one another because someone's wrong on this

604
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: on You know, I can guarantee this, President Trump, everyone

605
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: who works in the White House right now. You know,

606
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: the people that are dealing with this problem day in

607
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: and day out, if they could wave a wand and

608
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: save every single life from today forward, they would do it.

609
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: We all know that everyone wants maximum life saved. Everybody

610
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: wants everyone's mom, dad, brother, sister, grandma, grandpa, wife, husband, son, daughter,

611
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: you name it, right, we all want all of them

612
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: to come through this. But we also are operating in

613
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: the reality of we are in a war with a virus,

614
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 1: and right now the virus is taking a heavy toll

615
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: on us with casualties a lot. And remember the casualties

616
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: is wounded as well as killed a lot. Of the

617
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: people right now who are being intubated and going through

618
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: this process, you know, they're suffering very badly even if

619
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: they come through this on the other side. And that's

620
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: why when Chuck Todd says something and this is the

621
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: start of this of this little conversation we're having this segment.

622
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: Do you think there's blood on the president hands? Considering

623
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 1: the slow response? I mean, Chuck Tod is honestly, he's

624
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: so indicative of the elite media and someone who I

625
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: don't know, it's just all smoke in mirrorsm The guy

626
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: isn't very bright, doesn't seem ethical in the least in

627
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: the way that he covers the news is smarmie, is

628
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: a little bit of a cry baby. And yeah, he's

629
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: offered up by NBC as someone that you should all

630
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: listen to. I don't know why you wouldn't want Chuck Todd.

631
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: You know you wouldn't want Chuck Todd to have your

632
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: back in any situation. This guy just doesn't strike me

633
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: as somebody of any real character or backbone asking that

634
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: the president has blood on his hands. He really you're

635
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: going to hold the president responsible for this? Is the

636
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: president responsible for what's going on in the rest of

637
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: the world too, because there are a lot of every

638
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: major country right now is either about to or getting

639
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: crushed by this virus. Thanks for listening to The Bus

640
00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts. The

641

Speaker 1: iHeart radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. The

642
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: Treasury Department an SBA has been working around the clock.

643
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: We will have a program up and running on Friday

644
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: where not only the existing SBA lenders, but FDIC banks,

645
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: credit unions, fintech lenders will be able to make loans.

646
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: Those loans will cover eight weeks of workers salary plus

647
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: additional money for overhead. If you let your workers go,

648
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: you bring back your workers. For every worker you have,

649
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: that portion of the loan is forgiven. So I encourage

650
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: all small distances that's about half of the US private payroll,

651
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: go back and hire your workers because the government is

652
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: paying you to do that. This is an ambitious plan

653
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: and it's the kind of thinking that is needed right now.

654
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: Manuchin is smart. He is a kind of Goldman Sachs

655
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: Wall Street insidery guy. But he's a smart dude. And

656
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 1: what are you saying here is, look, we are going

657
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: to pay we the federal government are going to cover

658
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: your payroll. So make sure that you're paying people because

659
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: it's free money for you to pay them. Keep your

660
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: employees on the payroll. Maybe this works, Maybe this works.

661
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: Who knows, really, who knows what the long term implications

662
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: will be. You know, there are two ways that this

663
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: goes badly as far as I can see it. Well, actually,

664
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, there are three ways. One is that it's

665
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 1: and the most likely I think is that it's just insufficient.

666
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of problems with the actual dispersal of

667
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: the funds. The funds are not enough for different businesses.

668
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: That's all part of this. Okay, that's one problem. A

669
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: second problem we lead into, and this leads us into

670
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: I should say, a depression or a recession, one or

671
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: the other. That's a very real consideration. And then we

672
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 1: have to deal with that on top of everything else,

673
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: and the virus that keeps coming back even though we're

674
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: in the midst of this, that's a possibility. And then

675
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: there's another situation, and that is that we create too

676
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: much a stress, a systemic stress on our financial system,

677
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: so that this stimulus plan, this rescue package becomes essentially

678
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: what people have been warning about for decades, which is,

679
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: you know, once we get up words of thirty trillion

680
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: dollars of debt or whatever it is going to be

681
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: when this is all over, I mean it's two trillion

682
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: right now at it on plus the trillion dollars deface

683
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: that I think we're already going to run this year,

684
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: So that's three trillion. We're gonna be a twenty five

685
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: trillion the blink of an eye, and if we do

686
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: another package, it's going to be another two or three

687
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: trillion problemly on top of that. So we're looking at

688
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: mid twenties trillion dollars of debt. What happens if then

689
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: that leads to a collapse, a collapse of the financial system,

690
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: the dollar, hyperinflation. I mean, all these really scary scenarios.

691
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: Those are the problems. Is that going to happen? I

692
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Anybody can

693
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: really tell you this. I Mean, one thing I'm quite

694
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: certain of is that economists are bad at predictions, about

695
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: as bad as most cable news anchors have been at

696
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: being ahead of this situation and understanding what the implications

697
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: of it really are. But the possibility of financial systemic

698
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: systemic financial collapse, it's just being pushed aside right now.

699
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: We're just taking this Everything that can be done for

700
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: the virus, to suppress the virus at the expense of

701
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: maximum expensive the economy. This is the approach the administration

702
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: has decided to take. And I mean, they have access

703
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: to better information than I do. They have experts, which

704
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: I am not, and in fact, they have thousands of them,

705
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: and this is what they're going to do. I'm concerned.

706
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: But what are we really supposed to do under the circumstances,

707
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: and what are we the American people, going to do.

708
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they're telling us that if we just went

709
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: back to life as normal across the country, this will

710
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: kill hundreds of thousands of people. And the number that

711
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci said is that it could easily kill or

712
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: I should say, the models clearly show upwards of one

713
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: hundred to two hundred thousand people dead from this if

714
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: we went back to life as normal. Now I'm not

715
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: advocating I've never advocated going back to life as normal

716
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: right away. That is not a real position that anyone's had.

717
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: But even standard or I should say, even escalating and

718
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: de escalating measures for a containment that are on a

719
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 1: dynamic basis changed to meet the circumstances of the moment,

720
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: that's right now off the table too. It's just going

721
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: to be everything you can do wherever this virus exists

722
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: to shut this thing down and we'll deal with the

723
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: economic fallout later. That is really I just want us

724
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: all to be very clear that there was a discussion.

725
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: You know, obviously the administration was thinking that by April eleventh,

726
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: by easter, maybe we could start to lessen this up.

727
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: So that was going to be balancing things toward protecting

728
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: the economy a bit and taking a little bit more

729
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: risk from the virus. That's what that means. People can say, oh,

730
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: that's what it means. Okay, we're gon we're gonna talk

731
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: like adults here, that's what that would be. I mean,

732
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: the moment that you and found she has said as

733
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: much himself, the moment that you de escalate, the moment

734
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: that you drop down some of your protective measures, you're

735
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 1: just more more at risk from this. And that seemed

736
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: like it was something that might happen in a matter

737
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: of weeks, and now they're saying no, April. April is

738
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: lockdown month across the country, so and the economy is

739
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 1: something we'll deal with later. I really hope that they

740
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: know what they're doing, because if you know, the same

741
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: way that we didn't see this virus, no one really

742
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: saw the virus coming I've said you before, the pandemic

743
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: is a big thread, and you know, then then the

744
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: question turns into or before we're at this moment, well,

745
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,439
Speaker 1: was this the pandemic virus or not? You know, we've

746
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: had SARS, we've had mirrors, we've had h one M,

747
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: when we've had these other similar incidents that were serious

748
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: but then felt a bit like not false alarms, but

749
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: perhaps exaggerated states of alarm based on what the final

750
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: reality of those viruses were. Are we going to look

751
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: back at this moment and this is the question that

752
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: I posed to you, and I do not pretend to

753
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: have an answer. Are we going to look back at

754
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: this moment where we said everything against the virus doesn't

755
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: matter what the economy looks like right now or what

756
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: it's going to do to it. And do you think

757
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: there's a chance that we'll be saying at some point

758
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 1: in the future, how could we have missed it's so obvious?

759
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: How could we have missed that this was going to

760
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 1: lead us in due depression? I'm not making that prediction.

761
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I do worry. I'm just I'm

762
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 1: raising this as a question. I worry that that's what

763
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna be thinking in six or twelve months. And

764
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen in a couple of weeks,

765
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: but six or twelve months from now, we're going to

766
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: say we went too far toward virus suppression measures and

767
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: didn't keep in mind what the damage to the economy

768
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: would be, what the damage would be to people's lives,

769
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: the ability to fight the virus, all the things that

770
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: Trump in the administration we're talking about last week that

771
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 1: seemed to now have been not abandoned, but just put

772
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: on hold until we can find something else, figure something

773
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,959
Speaker 1: else out. So, my friends, we will have to see.

774
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: We'll just have to see. I don't have I have

775
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: Manuchin telling you that this is going to work out great,

776
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: which is really what he has to say. I mean,

777
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 1: he's been very involved in coming up with a play

778
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: clip twelve. I think this program is going to be

779
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: enormously successful and stabilizing the US economy while hardworking Americans

780
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: who lost their jobs or aren't able to work because

781
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: of the medical situation that they get help. So this

782
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: money is going to go into the economy very quickly.

783
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: It is going to help American workers very very quickly.

784
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: And I don't know how long it's going to take

785
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: to kill this virus. I do know we will kill

786
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: this virus. And when we do, I have great confidence

787
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: that the US economy will become roaring back. This is

788
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: what their assessment currently, This is where the assessment currently stands.

789
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: We can put the economy on hold. We can just

790
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: hit the pause button, maximum measures to contain and suppress

791
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: the virus, hit the pause button on the economy, and

792
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: then when we decide to press the start button again,

793
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 1: we'll be all right. And actually we'll have a huge

794
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: ramp up and things will be good. Man, that would

795
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: be great. And it's a really comforting story at some

796
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: level to hear now, especially for those of us who

797
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: are sitting here saying what happens if we had to

798
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: do great depression? What does that do to this country?

799
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: And you know, then you also get into the analysis then,

800
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: and this is what people right now who view this

801
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: through a partisan lens. I'm trying to view this through

802
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: an America lens. I really am every day and I

803
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: mean that, I know that can almost sound like some

804
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: kind of cliche, but I really am thinking what's best

805
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 1: for this country right now. Because there's also the chance

806
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: that we look back at this. I'll be talking to

807
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: you more about China today on the show that we

808
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: look at this moment in time and say, this is

809
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,959
Speaker 1: when China became the pre eminent hedge them on around

810
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: the world. What does that mean if that happened? What

811
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: would the Chinese Communist Party with, you know, running a

812
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: country of over a billion people with nuclear weapons and

813
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: certainly some level of biological weapons program. I'm not saying

814
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: this is a part of that, but what would it

815
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: mean if all of a sudden that entity is the

816
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: single most powerful, single most powerful government in the world.

817
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: How many millions, how many billions of people will suffer

818
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: lose their life, perhaps in wars. I mean, you know,

819
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: there's so much that goes into these calculations when you're

820
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: talking about the future of the United States that right

821
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: now I think that we are I understand everyone's everyone's scared,

822
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: and I'm in the middle of the scariest place. I mean,

823
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,479
Speaker 1: those of you that are listening to show, I could

824
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: walk out my doors and I'll tell you what it's

825
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: like in New York a little bit. But this is

826
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: there is nowhere in America right now that is more

827
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: on edge about this virus than where I am sitting

828
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, this city is ground zero. But

829
00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying that the voices of of understandable concern, but

830
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: even some that are that are really now edging on panic,

831
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: they seem to have won out. And now we're just

832
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: we're doing a lockdown, and we're listening to experts whose job,

833
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: understandably is just to limit limit to the greatest possible degree,

834
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: any spread of this virus. And now we're being told

835
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: essentially that there is nothing, there is no other balancing

836
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: factor here. That we're doing every absolutely everything we can

837
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: up to and including shutting down the economy for another

838
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 1: thirty days. I really, I really hope that they're right.

839
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm not in a position to say that they're wrong

840
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: because I don't know what's going to happen. Honestly, they

841
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen. But I don't have

842
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: expertise in epidemiology and viral pandemics and all these other things.

843
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 1: I do know that government and competence is everywhere, and

844
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: that the government. You know, there's a part of me

845
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 1: that is angry about Okay, the CDC makes or not

846
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: makes part of me. The CDC has about a seven

847
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: six seven billion dollars year budget over ten thousand employees.

848
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: What have they been doing time? This is this is

849
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: the equivalent of the big invasion that everybody knew was

850
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: coming by some foreign country, and it would be like

851
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: the Pentagon sit around saying, yeah, you know, just you know,

852
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: try to arm yourself and see if you can help

853
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: us fight this thing off. What really, the best the

854
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: CDC can do is to put out a test that's

855
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: faulty at the absolute critical moment and then tell us basically,

856
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: go to wash our hands, stay away from each other,

857
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: shut down the economy, and don't go outside. And that's

858
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: really what they're telling us. You know that they don't

859
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: really know how how much this disease is aerosoli has

860
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: spread through Aerosoli's droplets versus contact on surfaces and people

861
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,760
Speaker 1: then just you know, putting their fingers in their mouth

862
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: or their eyes. They don't know. They don't know if

863
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: you can get reinfected. There's some report out of China

864
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,240
Speaker 1: that says you might be able to get some percentage

865
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 1: of people might be able to be reinfected with this afterwards,

866
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: which would be really distressing because usually virus you have

867
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: immunity at least for a long period of time after

868
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: you get it. There's so much about this that they

869
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: don't really know. And I do want to ask the question,

870
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: what is exactly the c D what have they been

871
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: doing all this time? And the National Institutes of Health?

872
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: You know what are they because I know that they've

873
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 1: done things like to help They've had campaigns to tell

874
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: people to have their kids like eat more vegetables, and

875
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: they want to study gun violence and things like that.

876
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: I know that that has happened. And it just feels

877
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: like there wasn't really a playbook for this to be

878
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: run by you, by the CDC, by the NH, and

879
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: we've been making it up as we go along, and

880
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: you do want to ask what were they doing all

881
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: this time? And really now we're turning. I mean that

882
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: the likeliest scenario would be if one of the I

883
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: shouldn't say likely, it's the likeliest home run scenario for

884
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: us and for humanity would be if one of these

885
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: one of these big pharmaceutical companies comes up with an

886
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 1: excellent treatment for this. I keep seeing this anecdotal data

887
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: about a zithromycin and chloroquin or hydroxy chloroquin not to

888
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: be confused with the fish tank cleaner chloroquine phosphate. That's

889
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: a no no. I see anecdotal stuff about this, but

890
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: until we have some real clear studies on it for

891
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 1: a few weeks, we're just not going to know. We're

892
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: going to continue to be in what feels like a

893
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: bit of a guessing game on this. So, my friends,

894
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: the economy is just being We're trying an experiment now

895
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: with the economy that has never been done before. I

896
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: don't know this has ever been done before in human history.

897
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: I just don't know if there's any any analogous situation

898
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: to this. And the people in charge are telling us,

899
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: don't worry, We've got this. Okay, this is the way

900
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: it's going to be. I'm going to try to go

901
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: forward in good faith and listen to the experts on this.

902
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: But I also know that a lot of things we've

903
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: been told about systemic economic risk are only getting worse

904
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, I mean, like catastrophe, like the

905
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: economy just implodes, like dollars all of a sudden aren't

906
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: worth anything. I mean, that's that's kind of what we

907
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: think of as the worst possible scenario for the economy.

908
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: Which would just all of this country effectively. I'm going

909
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: to hope that that's not going to happen at any point,

910
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be okay, And I'm gonna try to

911
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,359
Speaker 1: just downplay in my mind that the experts that we're

912
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: always being told to listen to have been wrong and

913
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff, and our leaders have certainly

914
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: been wrong on both sides. By the way, this is

915
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: not as there's this sense that one party was right,

916
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: and that's that's a lie, that one media organization was

917
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 1: right and others. No, that's not true. People have been

918
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 1: getting this wrong left and right because nobuddy knows. That's

919
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:34,240
Speaker 1: really the that's the the operating or the operative phrase

920
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 1: for what the future holds here. Nobody knows. And we're

921
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: just doing the best that we can, and that's we're

922
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: coming together and rallying as people to each other's sides

923
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: as much as we can day to day. That's what

924
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: we can do. And hope that these pray that these

925
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: experts aren't making an enormous blunder by thinking that we

926
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: can do this lockdown for another thirty days. I certainly

927
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: hope that they're right, and then we can just turn

928
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: the account. Let me about broad we'll see you're in

929
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: the Freedom Mind. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast.

930
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: This is such a very, very sad time for us,

931
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: so we should be taking every precaution. What the president,

932
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: his denial at the beginning was deadly. His delaying of

933
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:30,879
Speaker 1: getting equipment to continues is delaying getting equipment to where

934
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: it's needed is deadly. And now I would think the

935
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: best thing would be to do is to prevent a

936
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,919
Speaker 1: more loss of life rather than open things up so

937
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: that because we just don't know, we have to have testing, testing, testing,

938
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: That's what we said from the start, before we can

939
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 1: evaluate what the nature of it is in some of

940
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: these other regions as well. I don't know what the

941
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: purpose of that is. I don't know what the scientists

942
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: are saying to him. I don't know what the scientists

943
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: said to him. When did this president know about this sident?

944
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: And what did he know? What did he know and

945
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: when did he know it? That's for an after action review.

946
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: But as the president fiddles, people are dying and we

947
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,399
Speaker 1: just have to take every precaution. Nancy Pelosi is neither

948
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: a decent nor an ethical person. And you see this

949
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: now in a way that has made clear what many

950
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 1: of us have known for a long time. But Nancy

951
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: Pelosi can't put aside her worst political impulses even for

952
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: a moment. She can't do it. This is who she is.

953
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: The president is fiddling and people are dying. How is

954
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: the president fiddling? What is he supposed to do that

955
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 1: he's not doing. He has invoked the Defense Production Acting

956
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,479
Speaker 1: now he's actually used it, meaning that he has gone

957
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: to private, major private companies and said, okay, you're now

958
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: doing this. We're going to pay you for it. But

959
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: you're not doing this thing. You're making this product. You're

960
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: making ventilators or masks or whatever the case may be.

961
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: And this is what he was being pushed toward. He

962
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: didn't want to have to do it. Look like General

963
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: Motors was holding things up a little bit, so he said, okay,

964
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: on the president. This is how it's going to be.

965
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: Notice also, how the people that were claiming the president.

966
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: There's so much that this is showing you about the lies,

967
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: the dishonesty, and the just the general deceit of the

968
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: opposition to this administration. For three years up until now,

969
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: they kept saying that he's a dictator, he's an authoritarian,

970
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 1: He's a fascist. I mean, these were things that we're

971
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: said about the president, and now that we're in a

972
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: moment where is a true crisis, and the ability to

973
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,919
Speaker 1: seize and wield power now is greater than anything since

974
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: nine to eleven, and in some ways is even more

975
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: powerful than what we saw with the aftermath of nine

976
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: to eleven. That ability is not being abused by this

977
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,280
Speaker 1: president at all. In fact, one of the criticisms against

978
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: him that the left and others are using is that

979
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: he's not seizing enough power in order to deal with

980
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: this pandemic. Do you think anyone looks at that in

981
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: that way now and reevaluates all of their Trump is

982
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: a dictator. Trump is basically like Hitler. Do you think

983
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: anyone does that? No, of course not. They choose not

984
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: to do any of that because it was all for

985
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: a purpose. It was all about a struggle for power.

986
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,720
Speaker 1: It was never a boy presenting you with the truth.

987
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: So they lied about Trump until now, and we all

988
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: should take a moment to recognize what it was. It

989
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: was lies. Thanks for listening to the bus sets and

990
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 1: show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app,

991
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. She's blaming the pros

992
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 1: in the United States for people dying because of the

993
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: way he's led the country. That's the most shameful, disgusting

994
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: statement by any politician in modern history. Let me tell you,

995
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: we've seen the best of America, from our citizens helping

996
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 1: each other, delivering groceries, having special shopping hours for senior citizens.

997
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: She's the first politician to blame another politician for people dying.

998
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: This is the same Speaker of the House who held

999
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 1: up the bill in the Senate for days because she

1000
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: wanted same day voting. It is disgusting, but it's really

1001
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: not surprising, a isn't it. Nancy Pelosi now claiming the

1002
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: President's costing lives because of his response to this. Meanwhile,

1003
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: she delayed this rescue bill for the entire economy because

1004
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: of what Because she wanted money for windmills and diversity

1005
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 1: on corporate boards. No one gives a crap about those

1006
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,439
Speaker 1: things right now. Nancy Pelosi, who's not a total left

1007
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 1: wing lunatic, but Nancy Pelosi is, in fact the left

1008
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: wing lunatics. I suppose none of this should be considered

1009
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: even the least bit surprising. Whether the President also had

1010
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: a I mentioned before the the back and forth with

1011
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: the press and how they think that still even in

1012
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: this moment in time, they are so very important. Here

1013
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 1: was one of the exchanges that I didn't get to before.

1014
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: Play clip ten. You were talking about governors of different

1015
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: states and you said, I want them to be appreciative.

1016
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: You also said, if they don't treat you right, I

1017
00:55:53,640 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: don't call ready. Ready. Take a look at what it says.

1018
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: I want them to be appreciative of me, Okay, and

1019
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: then you cut it off because it's fake news and

1020
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 1: of your administration. Please let me just finish. You just

1021
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: said it again, and you know the answers a lie.

1022
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: You know. I let me just say you're sapent and

1023
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,399
Speaker 1: your response and your answer is a lie, because here's

1024
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: the story. You're ready. I said, I want you to

1025
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: be appreciative of me, and then you go on and

1026
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 1: then I go on and you cut it off. But

1027
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: it says when you am not appreciative. I don't want

1028
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 1: them to say things that aren't true. I want them

1029
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: to be appreciative. We've done a great job. And I'm

1030
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: not talking about me. I'm talking about Mike Pennce. The

1031
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: task course I'm talking about the Army Corps of Engineers.

1032
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: Thank you. But then you went on to say if

1033
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: they don't treat you right, I don't call. He's a

1034
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 1: different type of I don't call no. I don't call no.

1035
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: I don't call the governor of Washington in this time.

1036
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,280
Speaker 1: But Mike Pence calls, and the head of FEMA calls.

1037
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't stop them. Did I ever ask you to

1038
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: do anything negative? Mike to Washington, the state of Washington, Michigan.

1039
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: I love that state. That's one of my favorite places

1040
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: in the whole world, Michigan. This is a example of

1041
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: the nonsense that you expect from the press. We all

1042
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: know how Donald Trump speaks. We all understand that he

1043
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: has a very particular way of saying things, very Trumpian way.

1044
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: When he says that they're not nice to me, I

1045
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 1: don't call. They're saying is that he has one of

1046
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: the other members of the task force speak to leaders.

1047
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Jay Insley has been an immature joke during

1048
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 1: some of this. I mean, after the President had a

1049
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: conference with him, I think it was two weeks ago,

1050
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: had a call with him, he went to Twitter and

1051
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: slammed the President unfairly on Twitter. So why isn't it

1052
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: a smart move? I mean, if you were managing a

1053
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 1: company and you had a very critical matter to deal with,

1054
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: which certainly addressing this is if you had a critical

1055
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: matter to deal with and you were involved in a

1056
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: personal dispute with somebody in the company, why not take

1057
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: out that personal level and make it just about doing

1058
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 1: whatever is necessary to get the job done. So he's saying,

1059
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: Mike Pence will be the one who makes the phone call,

1060
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: not me. That doesn't strike me as in any way

1061
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 1: a cause for alarm. I mean, he's the vice president

1062
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: and he'll talk to the States and make sure they're

1063
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 1: getting everything they need to get. But they still they

1064
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: drilled down on these things and they look for the

1065
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: most negative version of it possible because their audience has

1066
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: really been psychologically conditioned to view things as negatively as

1067
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: possible all the time about this administration. And they're certainly cause,

1068
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: they're certainly cause for criticism for the Trump administration on

1069
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 1: a number of fronts, but it's never in good faith.

1070
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: It's never offered up as well, they didn't do this. Well,

1071
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 1: here's the context. We were told that Trump was a

1072
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: trader and that he was basically a fascist who was

1073
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: destroying democracy for three years. These people are insane and

1074
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:36,439
Speaker 1: that hasn't changed. That hasn't changed despite everything else. So

1075
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: this is what we see happening. And then you got

1076
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, who remember he was going to do a

1077
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: press conference every day, and then they realized that that

1078
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: didn't work, that didn't look good. You're going to have

1079
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: what a shadow state with Joe Biden running it Right now,

1080
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 1: we don't need to hear what Joe Biden thinks about

1081
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: different responses or what he would do if he were

1082
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: in charge. We got big your things to think about,

1083
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: and he's not in charge. So why they back off

1084
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: those press conferences, Well, they got rid of them because

1085
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: it didn't look good for Joe Biden, and in part

1086
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: it's because he doesn't offer anything valuable at this point

1087
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: in time. Play clip nine. Let's set aside President Trump's rhetoric.

1088
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: Is there an action he has not taken that you

1089
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: would be taking right now if you were president? Yeah,

1090
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: I'd be doing two things. At least one, I would

1091
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: make sure that he uses a Defense Production Act, not

1092
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: only to do with the issue of whether or not

1093
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: there are ventilators, but I would do the same thing

1094
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: for mask and gowns and mask and all and shields,

1095
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: all the things that are first responders and our doctors

1096
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: and nurser's need. Why are we waiting? We know they're needed,

1097
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: They're going to be increasingly needed. You just heard the

1098
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: president's folks person talk about the increasing knee. A lot

1099
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: of Democrats really don't understand not just that government is

1100
00:59:54,200 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: full of slow, slothful, corrupt, inapt people, which it is, unfortunately,

1101
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: but also the way that the private sector works and

1102
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: why you can get more things if you allow the

1103
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: expertise within the private sector to do what it does. Right.

1104
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: Here's here's the disconnect. When it comes to public sector stuff.

1105
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 1: It's always listened to the experts. It's always the CDC

1106
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: says this, the NIH says that, and sometimes that is

1107
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: certainly the correct, the appropriate response. But they defer to

1108
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: the experts there. But they won't defer to experts within

1109
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: the private sector when it comes to making stuff. You

1110
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: know who's really good at making things? People who make them.

1111
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: You know who's not as good at them? People that

1112
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 1: just say, you know, make make a million masks appear

1113
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: because we say so, this is what you see. This

1114
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 1: in socialist command command control economies. You see this in

1115
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 1: places where the state is in charge in this way,

1116
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: at this level, where they just will you know, this

1117
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: is what the Soviet Union would do. They would say, okay,

1118
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: we want there to be x amount of loaves of bread,

1119
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: so that's what the breadmakers have to make. And guess

1120
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: what that didn't take into account what the price of

1121
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: wheat was, what the price of labor was, and so

1122
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: they were all these shortages and problems. You know, Democrats

1123
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: who are claiming the president should just direct the private

1124
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 1: industry to make all this stuff don't understand that he's

1125
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: telling some private industry, hey, can you guys make this,

1126
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: will pay you, and then leaving it to them to

1127
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 1: make because they'll be better at it. And then if

1128
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: someone slows down too much or they're being haggling too

1129
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: much in the negotiation, he invokes a Defense Production Act

1130
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: and we go from there. So that's where this is

1131
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, Joe Biden coming forward and acting

1132
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: like he would just make some declaration about how they

1133
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: need to be fifty million masks or whatever. Then I mean,

1134
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: who knows, I don't even know what the number is.

1135
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: Right now, they think they need nationally, but it's an enormous,

1136
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: an enormous number of these surgical masks. Who knows what

1137
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: that would mean, wouldn't I don't think it would help

1138
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden just make this declaration. But I mean

1139
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: a big problem here is that they're they're trashing Trump

1140
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 1: so much in their response for obvious political reasons, and

1141
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: then they turn around and they offer us up Joe Biden,

1142
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: who is really a confused l lily and an honestly

1143
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: corrupt guy and uninspiring and has no real executive experience

1144
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: of any kind other than I mean, you can talk

1145
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: about the executive experience his son got on the board

1146
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 1: of a company he never should have been on. Joe

1147
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 1: Biden is not someone that you would put on the

1148
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: board of any company to advise you, unless you were

1149
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: just looking for his name, which we know that's a

1150
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 1: thing that happens on the boards of companies too. So

1151
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: that's where we are right now. I mean, we're looking

1152
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: at this entire response and we're saying, well, hold on

1153
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: a second, we're supposed to think that Joe Biden would

1154
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: do such a better job or Nancy Pelosi, who do

1155
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: says a better job in truth, government at all levels

1156
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: has failed you. There have been failures, there have been missteps.

1157
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: There should have been more information out sooner to the

1158
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: public about really what this was and how dangerous it

1159
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: was going to be. I think I'm not convinced, for example,

1160
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 1: that the response that views this as a national level

1161
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: thing where everywhere you should have a lockdown instead of

1162
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: place by place, and the federalism that was being discussed,

1163
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 1: or a more federalist approach of states and localities making decisions.

1164
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: And then I think that in the end we'll look

1165
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,439
Speaker 1: back and think that probably would have been a better move.

1166
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: But here's what we're up against. During all of this,

1167
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 1: no matter what happens to the economy, and no matter

1168
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: what happens in the aftermath of this, and the aftermath

1169
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: now feels like it's very far away, you will have

1170
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 1: people who tell you that it doesn't we save two

1171
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 1: million lives, and that there's nothing so no, no destruction

1172
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: of the economy, no erosion of civil rights, no erosion

1173
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 1: of self civil liberties, rather, no erosion of any part

1174
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: of our society. They will say it can compare to

1175
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: the did they save two two million lives? We'll end

1176
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: up seeing what the final number is here, but that

1177
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: will be the claim, So just be prepared for that

1178
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 1: as well. If you think that we head into a

1179
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: great depression and all of a sudden there's shortages, there's

1180
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: not enough food, there's real problems like that, they'll turn

1181
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: aroun out and say when you want to be like,

1182
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: I told you guys, we had to do more for

1183
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 1: the economy, they'll turn around and say to you, but no,

1184
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 1: we saved two million lives, so shut up. The government

1185
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: knew what it was. You know. The government response here

1186
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: was the correct one, and it's viewed somehow as a

1187
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 1: partisan response, even though I think this is just everyone's

1188
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 1: trying to make the best decisions they can under the circumstances.

1189
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: And I certainly hope that the economy just comes roaring

1190
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 1: back and maybe Manutrition's right. And you know, the people

1191
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 1: right now who are in the prediction business have a

1192
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: very very tough way ahead of them because really those

1193
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: who are good at predicting things understand that what they

1194
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: do is pattern analysis, and they look for similar situations

1195
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: how they played out, and then they try to look

1196
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 1: at they try to gauge the percentages for how something's

1197
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: likely to play out in the future, and you can

1198
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: really do that with this because we're we've never seen

1199
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: anything like this before. So that that's my feeling on this,

1200
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: my friends. There's still a lot of information we need

1201
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 1: to make better decisions. But Joe Biden, I'm await. Here's

1202
01:04:58,320 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: just a you know, I wanted to give you a

1203
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 1: little bit of a a moment away from the virus

1204
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: and everything. Here's Joe Biden giving one of his biden isms.

1205
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 1: Play eleven. What do you make of the fact that

1206
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,439
Speaker 1: the President's John rading has bumped up during this crisis? Well,

1207
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think that's a typical American

1208
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: response in every single crisis we've had that I've been around,

1209
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: going back to Jimmy Carter and the hostages all the

1210
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: way through to this moment. President's ratings have always gone

1211
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: up in a crisis. And but you know, that little expression,

1212
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: the proof of the you know, is going to be

1213
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: an eating of pudding. You know, what's it going to

1214
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: look like? I hope we're in a situation going into

1215
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: the fall where this is under control, We're done all

1216
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: the right things, and things are beginning to move and

1217
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 1: the president is listening to the scientists, as I said,

1218
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: and stopping the you know, the personal attacks on people

1219
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: who disagree with him, and I think let's let's get

1220
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: away from the childishness of this and focus on the problem.

1221
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 1: The proof is going to be in eating the pudding.

1222
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, Actually, Joe Biden's quote there, everything

1223
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: he said about we got to see where this is

1224
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: and let's stop the personal attacks and we'll have time.

1225
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm on. I mean, I think it was a very

1226
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: astute thing to say. So, as much as I just

1227
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: wanted that the proof is going to be in eating

1228
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: the pudding, I just like the way he said that one.

1229
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 1: But actually his analysis there was pretty was pretty good,

1230
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: which is that people should stop with the nasty personal

1231
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: stuff and let's see where we are in dealing with this.

1232
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: I think that's a better approach for all of us.

1233
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 1: It would certainly be a better approach in the media.

1234
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: Especially now. Okay, it's hit us. Now we're in the

1235
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 1: midst of this. Now we're in the fight, and we

1236
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: know that it's a big one and it's real and

1237
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: this is scary. So let's look to do the best

1238
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: we can under the circumstances and not do what Pelosi's doing,

1239
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 1: which is just the most disgraceful partisan finger pointing stuff.

1240
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 1: It's it's just bad news. It's bad news. When Pelosi's

1241
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 1: able to do what she does, she does not help

1242
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 1: anybody except herself. You're in the freedom hunt. This is

1243
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 1: the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Everyone has been instructed

1244
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: that if they see worship surfaces going, services going on,

1245
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: they will go to the officials of that congregation. They'll

1246
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 1: inform them they need to stop the services and disperse.

1247
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 1: If that does not happen, they will take additional action,

1248
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: up to the point of fines and potentially closing the

1249
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 1: building permanently, closing the place of worship permanently. The Mayor

1250
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 1: of New York City says, I think everyone heard that

1251
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: and said what But this is what I mean by

1252
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 1: we have been conditioned to think that the threat of

1253
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: tyrannical overreach comes from this president. That's what the media

1254
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: has been telling you for years, even though every time

1255
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: he's had some policy dispute with the other side, it

1256
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: goes to court, he goes all, he goes through the system.

1257
01:07:55,440 --> 01:08:00,959
Speaker 1: You have this bad faith hashtag resistance judiciary that comes

1258
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: up with the most preposterous justifications for slowing down this president,

1259
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: and they have decisions that they go forward with that

1260
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: are just garbage, and then it has to make its

1261
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 1: way through the judiciary, and Trump eventually is right. But

1262
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:17,719
Speaker 1: they've been telling us that Trump is a threat of

1263
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: tyranny for all this time, and now you have the

1264
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: Mayor of New York City saying, yeah, if you have

1265
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 1: a true look, I don't think people in New York

1266
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: right now should be gathering in large numbers for any reason,

1267
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: and that includes that includes religious services. There was a

1268
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 1: case in South Korea. They did a whole case study

1269
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:36,680
Speaker 1: of a woman who had COVID nineteen went to services

1270
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: there and infected a whole lot of people in our church.

1271
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 1: So it can happen, it does happen. It's important not

1272
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: to do that. But to threaten to shut down a

1273
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: place of worship permanently, how is that helpful in this moment?

1274
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 1: And also under what authority? With the Mayor of New York.

1275
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'd come up with some authority, but that

1276
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 1: is disconcerting. It's also disconcerting that the same person who

1277
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: is now telling us all that I'm not gonna say

1278
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 1: all hope is lost, but he has not been the

1279
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: mayor of New York has not been a calming presence,

1280
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 1: that's to say the least with all this stuff going on.

1281
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 1: Here is what he was saying before we saw quite

1282
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 1: how bad this whole thing was playing sixteen right now,

1283
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: we have twelve hundred hospital beds. That is a very,

1284
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 1: very substantial capacity. The message to the orches from the

1285
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:26,679
Speaker 1: beginning has been this is something we all can handle together.

1286
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 1: Go about your lives, go about your business. We have

1287
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 1: the capacity to keep this contained. I think we should

1288
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 1: say the other day in the meeting that health and

1289
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 1: nostrils is in strong shape, something like ventilators. You can

1290
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: speak to that on ventilators. New York City is in

1291
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:46,560
Speaker 1: good shape and based on even the most dire predictions

1292
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 1: of percentages of people who will have serious illness with this,

1293
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 1: we will be fine. I want to keep encouraging people

1294
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:55,639
Speaker 1: to go out and live their lives and patronize those businesses.

1295
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 1: One other questions tomorrow evenings. Yes, she's safe of people

1296
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 1: who have Yeah, the point isn't the commissioner can jump in,

1297
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Yeah if you if no one has symptoms, neither the

1298
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 1: visitors nor the people being visited. Yes, that was a

1299
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:14,839
Speaker 1: lot of guidance, a lot of advice at the president.

1300
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,719
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that the mayor rather was giving the people

1301
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: of New York City. How much of that looks in retrospect?

1302
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 1: Luck it was even a little bit a good idea,

1303
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 1: none of it. You're gonna have a lot of people

1304
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:26,759
Speaker 1: that are playing the blame game and saying that people

1305
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: didn't respond to this properly. They and and it's going

1306
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 1: to be a political nastiness all across the board. I

1307
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 1: would just say that with Deblasio, you know, he's he's

1308
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 1: taking a very firm hand with everybody here in the

1309
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 1: city today, and it's hard for all of us who

1310
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 1: see this situation not to feel a little bit of well,

1311
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: weren't you telling us until recently that everything was going

1312
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 1: to be fine? And now you're telling us everything is

1313
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 1: the opposite of fine. And he has professional health people.

1314
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 1: All they do is look at this. He listened to

1315
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 1: the experts we were told, and the experts were wrong

1316
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 1: on this one too. A lot of people were wrong.

1317
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:06,719
Speaker 1: Don't pay attention to the finger pointing right now. There's

1318
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 1: plenty of time for that later. Right now, we've got

1319
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: to get through the storm. Thanks for listening to The

1320
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:16,440
Speaker 1: bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,

1321

Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. In retrospect,

1322
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 1: is that message, at least in part to blame for

1323
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: how rapidly the virus has spread across the city, Jake,

1324
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 1: we should not focusing, in my view, on anything looking

1325
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 1: back on any level of government right now. This is

1326
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: just about how we save lives going forward. We all

1327
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 1: were working, everybody was working with the information we had

1328
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:44,640
Speaker 1: and trying, of course to avoid panic, and at that

1329
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 1: point for all of us, trying to keep not only

1330
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 1: protect lives, but keep the economy and the livelihoods together,

1331
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 1: keep ensuring that people had money to pay for food

1332
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 1: and medicine. I mean, this was a very different world

1333
01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:58,640
Speaker 1: just a short time ago. But the bottom line is,

1334
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:01,639
Speaker 1: when none of us have time to look backwards, I'm

1335
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how we get through to Sunday

1336
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 1: next Sunday, and then what we do the week after that.

1337
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 1: There's some truth to this, the looking backward right now.

1338
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously de Blasio is particularly vulnerable to that

1339
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: because of the stuff that he was saying. And I've

1340
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 1: played for you before, but we are now all trying

1341
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: to just focus on what is ahead of us and

1342
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: how we can move forward, how we can do everything

1343
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 1: possible to make the best decisions we can in the

1344
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 1: days ahead as a country, as a nation, as a city,

1345
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: as a state, everything all across the board. And it

1346
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 1: is a very different world right now. I mean, there

1347
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: were people who were talking even a couple of weeks ago,

1348
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: who were looking at models, and some people were saying

1349
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:45,720
Speaker 1: we could have two million dead, and some people were saying,

1350
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:48,760
Speaker 1: we'll probably have twenty or thirty thousand, something like that,

1351
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 1: which would be similar to a bad flu season, it

1352
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 1: seems like right now, or actually that's just a pretty

1353
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 1: standard flu season. It seems right now like we're gearing

1354
01:12:56,840 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 1: up for I mean, the President yesterday claimed that anything

1355
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 1: under one hundred thousand dead from this would be would

1356
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 1: mean that the administration had done a good job. That's

1357
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: a that's a shift in thinking. And for a lot

1358
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 1: of us, the calculation about how quickly to get back

1359
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 1: to work versus at least some of us get back

1360
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:18,440
Speaker 1: to work with enhanced precautions in place, versus the possibility

1361
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 1: of additional infection. The pendulum is swung in the other

1362
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 1: direction right now, and we are in maximum defense mode

1363
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 1: against the virus, and the economy is just being put

1364
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 1: on hold. So I want to tell you what it

1365
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 1: was like this weekend for me here in the city.

1366
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 1: On the one hand, I have time for cooking, which

1367
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:40,600
Speaker 1: I will say was nice. I'll maybe get into that

1368
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 1: a little bit later. I'll tell Producer Market some of

1369
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 1: my cooking exploits. But I went for a walk with

1370
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:48,720
Speaker 1: the dog. And just for those of you who are

1371
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:50,640
Speaker 1: worried or saying, why aren't you in quarantine, I mean

1372
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 1: I am in quarantine. I go out by myself with

1373
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 1: the dog, and I can walk around my neighborhood. I

1374
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 1: don't see anybody. Really, there's nobody out on the streets.

1375
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 1: It's empty. I post sit a photo that I took

1376
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 1: on Sixth Avenue facing south here in New York City,

1377
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 1: and that photo just shows you that not only there

1378
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 1: are very few people on the street in the most

1379
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 1: crowded what's usually the most crowded part of Manhattan, which

1380
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 1: is the most densely populated part of the Five boroughs

1381
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: as far as I understand it, at least during working hours,

1382
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 1: and there were no cars. I've never seen that before

1383
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: in my life, where there were just no cars, and

1384
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:29,080
Speaker 1: if there's anything that was close to it, maybe it

1385
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 1: would have been, you know, during a period of incredibly

1386
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 1: heavy snow, and you know the thing, let's snow, as

1387
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 1: we know, it's gonna mouth and we're gonna be okay.

1388
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: This is orders of magnitude more concerning. You know, this

1389
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 1: is exponentially more concerning than honestly any of the natural

1390
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 1: disasters that we've had hitting New York City and at

1391
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 1: least in my lifetime, including Hurricane Sandy. So I walked

1392
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: around the streets and it's there's an eerie feeling for sure,

1393
01:14:55,840 --> 01:15:01,400
Speaker 1: because there's no people, there's no businesses open. You are

1394
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 1: very aware here that this is a city. The city

1395
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 1: is sick. I mean, it feels like the city is

1396
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:09,160
Speaker 1: in lockdown, like it's in some kind of hospital. Ward

1397
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:12,560
Speaker 1: as a city. And I spoke last week to a

1398
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 1: doctor friend of mine in one of the hospitals here

1399
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 1: and he told me about the situation. He said, it

1400
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: is really bad. There's that photo going around and at

1401
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 1: a Brooklyn hospital. Brooklyn and Queens have been hit the

1402
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: worst so far, but there's a photo going around of

1403
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:29,599
Speaker 1: bodies being being put into the back of a refrigerated truck.

1404
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 1: There are refrigerated trucks outside the major hospitals. That's that's

1405
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 1: all very real, folks. Some of you've been asking me,

1406
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 1: are these things really happening. Yeah, it is happening. Another

1407
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:44,400
Speaker 1: friend send me a photo from his window of the

1408
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: field hospital that they've set up in the very fields

1409
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:48,720
Speaker 1: that I used to play sports on as a kid

1410
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 1: in school. So the field hospitals are out in the

1411
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 1: fields of Central Park. There is a field hospital now

1412
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: near Mounts One. They've put up big tents and it's

1413
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: they're ready for taking patients out there too. I mean,

1414
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,200
Speaker 1: this is where we are. I mean, this is a

1415
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 1: city that is it's like it's preparing for a war.

1416
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: But instead of setting up anti aircraft guns and you know,

1417
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: putting surfaced air missiles and sandbags and things like that,

1418
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 1: we're lining up ventilators and tents and medical personnel. It's

1419
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 1: it's a very it's a very tough time in the city.

1420
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 1: People have been asking me about the nine eleven comparison.

1421
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 1: I think this is now. I didn't. I wasn't in

1422
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 1: New York on nine eleven. I was up at college.

1423
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 1: I came back. I think within a couple of weeks probably,

1424
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 1: So I was in the city pretty soon after the

1425
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:44,640
Speaker 1: nine eleven incident happened, and there was already then, I

1426
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:46,720
Speaker 1: can say, at least a sense that the city was

1427
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 1: gonna was gonna bounce back, We're gonna be okay. You know.

1428
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 1: There was still that shock and the and the loss

1429
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: of all those people that were died in the towers

1430
01:16:56,280 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 1: and the NYPD and FDNY and all the folks who

1431
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 1: were affected by that. Certainly that was on everyone's minds,

1432
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: but as a city, there was no sense that the

1433
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 1: entire city was going to be was going to be

1434
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:11,559
Speaker 1: taken down by this, that the city would never really

1435
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 1: be the same, at least I don't remember that at all.

1436
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: Right now, you walk around the streets in every restaurant

1437
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:19,680
Speaker 1: you pass, everything you see that you go past, you

1438
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 1: think to yourself, they've closed down or they closed for good.

1439
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 1: Every store, every restaurant, every business you walk past them.

1440
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 1: You think how long, how long before they're not able

1441
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: to ever open their doors? And the answer is gonna

1442
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:37,759
Speaker 1: be a lot of them never do. That's a different feeling,

1443
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 1: that's a different place than we've ever been in before

1444
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 1: as as a city, and it's it's very, very distressing.

1445
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,000
Speaker 1: I'll also say that there's an element here and this

1446
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: is maybe this won't be a concern at all the NYPD.

1447
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 1: The police department here has I think a few a

1448
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 1: few thousand people who are outsick now that the department

1449
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: is over. I mean, if you at civilians, it's over

1450
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: forty thousand. I think the uniform personnels in the mid

1451
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:07,879
Speaker 1: to high thirties. But you've got a couple of thousand

1452
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 1: officers who are outsick, and you've had a few hundred

1453
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:15,200
Speaker 1: officers who have tested positive for coronavirus at this point.

1454
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: And if you look at what's going on on the

1455
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 1: streets at this point in time, it feels like it's

1456
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 1: desolate and eerie and unsafe to Cops are not going

1457
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 1: to deal with the lesser crimes, that's for sure. They've

1458
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 1: already said in Brooklyn they're not going to prosecute for trespassing,

1459
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 1: for theft. This is a combustible mix, and no one

1460
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:43,600
Speaker 1: really is focused right now on the possibility of a

1461
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 1: breakdown in civil society. But it wouldn't take much. It

1462
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: would not take much. And you walk the streets of

1463
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 1: New York City and you have a police force that's

1464
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: already been hit hard by COVID nineteen is going to

1465
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:57,840
Speaker 1: have more people out in the days ahead, and you

1466
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: just have a general sense of fear. I mean the

1467
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: city yesterday was a wet, cold day, It's been soaked

1468
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:06,559
Speaker 1: in fear. Today is a little bit better, it's a

1469
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 1: little bit sunnier, and you know, the warm weather I

1470
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:10,760
Speaker 1: think is really going to help a lot. But I

1471
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 1: just hope that we're not in a combustible situation where

1472
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 1: we end up finding ourselves. I just hope we don't

1473
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: end up finding ourselves dealing with problems that are caused

1474
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 1: by the virus in the lockdown to the virus, but

1475
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with the virus. And that's where

1476
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 1: I get worried about the moment you start having shortages.

1477
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:34,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there are all these stores right now. You

1478
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: can't get toilet paper, you can't get paper towel. You know,

1479
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: we're dealing with real shortages because of panic buying. What

1480
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: happens when you go to the store and there's there's

1481
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 1: not food? Now that doesn't feel like it could happen

1482
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 1: right now? How many months of this do we think

1483
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:50,639
Speaker 1: we can sustain? And what happens if there is just

1484
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 1: from the unemployment and the anger. I mean, people are upset,

1485
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:57,719
Speaker 1: they're in their homes, they can't leave. If we have

1486
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: some civil disorder, it's essentially on the streets. Things get

1487
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 1: very ugly very quickly here. So and I don't think

1488
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 1: that I don't think that they're that that's um out

1489
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 1: of the question. And I've spent a lot of time

1490
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:14,799
Speaker 1: in this city. I've been through a lot in this city,

1491
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:19,519
Speaker 1: and there's a sense right now that one one push

1492
01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 1: in the wrong direction for us while we're dealing with this,

1493
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: and you could have problems pile on topic. Now, maybe

1494
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,160
Speaker 1: this is all wrong. Maybe the people understand how serious

1495
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 1: this is. Everyone's staying home, everyone's scared by the virus.

1496
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's not going to be You might

1497
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 1: even see a drop in criminal activity city wide. You

1498
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:39,559
Speaker 1: probably will right now because there's just aren't people out

1499
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 1: on the streets, and you know, everyone's in their homes.

1500
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:44,840
Speaker 1: So unless you're gonna do a home invasion, a burglary

1501
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: is a very risky thing to do. But I am.

1502
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 1: I am concerned. That's the best thing I can say.

1503
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:54,640
Speaker 1: But I did see the on the upside. All right,

1504
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:56,680
Speaker 1: Let's get to the upside for a second. Today is

1505
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:58,839
Speaker 1: a tough one, folks. It's tough because Trump just extended

1506
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,840
Speaker 1: the thirty days and it seems the administration has been

1507
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 1: swayed to instead of trying to take a more state

1508
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: by state and more you know, economy friendly or economy

1509
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 1: surviving approach to this, there's like, nope, forget it, We're

1510
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: just doing total lockdown. We're going for the total lockdown approach.

1511
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,559
Speaker 1: So that's been a bit of a bit of a

1512
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 1: shock to process in the last twenty four hours. I

1513
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:28,839
Speaker 1: did see this morning the the hospital ship, the USNS Comfort,

1514
01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 1: the Navy's hospital ship. It came right past my window,

1515
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 1: so I mean not like I could reach out and

1516
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 1: touch it, but I could see it from my window

1517
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 1: as it sailed in into New York, went up on

1518
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: the went up the Hudson River, and it's out a

1519
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 1: pier not far from intown Manhattan, And that was It's

1520
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 1: just encouraging to know that we've got the eyes of

1521
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 1: the nation on the city right now, and that the

1522
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:55,960
Speaker 1: Comfort is going to be there to deal with heart attacks,

1523
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: deal with strokes, deal with you know, all the other

1524
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: medical issues that do not stop because we are in

1525
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:03,640
Speaker 1: our homes and there's a virus out there. So it

1526
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 1: is encouraging right now to see it's encouraging right now

1527
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 1: to see what's going on on the at least in

1528
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: that respect, from the from the perspective of trying to

1529
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 1: have things in place that will help us. And you know, now,

1530
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: I could do the whole dunk on the MSNBC show,

1531
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow's show for saying we'll never get here and

1532
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: everything else, But you know what, it's not even that's

1533
01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 1: not even important right now. People are wrong. People are

1534
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 1: wrong all over the place. I don't know anyone who's

1535
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:33,760
Speaker 1: who's understood at every phase of this how to handle them,

1536
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 1: what to do. And I think maybe here's the thought,

1537
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 1: maybe we could, at least for this week, try to

1538
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 1: extend a little more, a little more decency, grace, forgiveness,

1539
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 1: and understanding to each other, especially as we try to

1540
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: work through this together as a country than we would

1541
01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 1: on other issues. Maybe we could all aspire to that.

1542
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,879
Speaker 1: That would certainly be nice. But the Navy ship arrived.

1543
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 1: You got numerous trials going on right now for drugs

1544
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,120
Speaker 1: that could really be helpful against this. Everyone's focused on

1545
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:06,599
Speaker 1: chloroquin and zpax azithromycin as a possibility. We don't know yet.

1546
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:11,599
Speaker 1: There's also a drug up in Montreal that's a it's

1547
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: a very inexpensive, very old gout drug, but it deals

1548
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 1: with inflammation and it may it may be useful against us.

1549
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 1: There's some hope that will be useful against the cytokine

1550
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:27,520
Speaker 1: flood that occurs in the lungs when you are infected

1551
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:31,719
Speaker 1: with this, So that's certainly a possibility. And then there's

1552
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 1: also this big drug out of Gilad rem Severe I

1553
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 1: think it's called out of Gilead Pharmaceuticals. So those are

1554
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:43,439
Speaker 1: all possible places where things could get could get better.

1555
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:46,559
Speaker 1: Those are all areas where we could see a real

1556
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:52,840
Speaker 1: reason for particular, you know, for some enthusiasm about this

1557
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: fight and that we've made a breakthrough. We'll have to

1558
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 1: see if in fact any of them come through, and

1559
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 1: that would be a game change. Also, the syrology tests,

1560
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: we got to know who's already had this and how

1561
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 1: many people in the country have already had it, and

1562
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:06,760
Speaker 1: then they should be cleared to go back to work

1563
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 1: assuming they have immunity, which I mean going back to

1564
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 1: work sooner than later. That would be great, But it's

1565
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:14,960
Speaker 1: going to be my friends. Oh I did well. I'll

1566
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 1: give you some quarantine updates coming up here in a second.

1567
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 1: But let me just for a moment talk about what's

1568
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:24,000
Speaker 1: going on with China. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This

1569
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:31,680
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. China is definitely responsible

1570
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 1: for much of the pain that we are all feeling.

1571
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 1: The Chinese Communist part of the Chinese government, not the

1572
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:40,360
Speaker 1: Chinese people, but the Chinese Communist Party made decisions that

1573
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:42,600
Speaker 1: have had ramifications throughout the world. I mean, this is

1574
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 1: this is their Chernobyl, but it's much much worse than Chernobyl. Chernobyl, who,

1575
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 1: as we know, once they managed to take you know,

1576
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 1: they managed to try to address the problem. It did

1577
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:59,200
Speaker 1: not turn into the global destruction mechanism that many were

1578
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 1: concerned it would be. Um, this is sure, noble if

1579
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 1: the worst case scenarios actually came true of the initial

1580
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 1: projection of putting all of that radiation into the air,

1581
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 1: that would spread everywhere else. And the Chinese government is

1582
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:13,840
Speaker 1: lying about this, has been lying about it at every step.

1583
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 1: Here's a guy from the World Health Organization, though he's

1584
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 1: being asked a question by a journalist. I believe a

1585
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 1: journalist from Hong Kong about different countries responses to this.

1586
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:24,600
Speaker 1: And the guy's name is Bruce Aylward. He's from the

1587
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 1: World Health Organization. Just notice notice how he handles this question.

1588
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 1: Play five considered Hiwan's membership. Hello, it was I couldn't

1589
01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:45,559
Speaker 1: hear your question. Okay, let me let me let me

1590
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 1: repeat the questions right, because because I'm actually curious on

1591
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:57,599
Speaker 1: talking about Taiwan as well on Taiwan's case, we decided

1592
01:25:57,640 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: to give doctor Alward another call to fund and I

1593
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 1: just want to see if you can comment a bit

1594
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 1: on how Taiwan has done so far in terms of

1595
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 1: containing the fires. Well, we've already talked about China, and

1596
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:13,439
Speaker 1: you know, when you look across all the different areas

1597
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:17,519
Speaker 1: of China, they've actually all done a good job. So

1598
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:19,559
Speaker 1: with that, i'd like to thank you very much for

1599
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:23,479
Speaker 1: inviting us to participate, and good luck as you go

1600
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 1: forward with the battle in Hong Kong. We've already talked

1601
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:30,760
Speaker 1: about China. Wow. World Health Organization representative here is like,

1602
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, we do we do the Chinese bidding

1603
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 1: on this issue. Chinese don't recognize Taiwan. We don't recognize Taiwan.

1604
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 1: We won't even talk about Taiwan. So when people talk

1605
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:48,080
Speaker 1: about the propaganda situation, when people discuss the reality here

1606
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:53,799
Speaker 1: of Chinese propaganda being used by Western media, just understand

1607
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:58,920
Speaker 1: there's also international organizations that succumbed to this pressure. There's

1608
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 1: a story. You know, I'm not to get an tomorrow

1609
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 1: a little bit because I don't really have time for

1610
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 1: it today. I want to get to Roll call. But

1611
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 1: there's a story about how did China mess up so

1612
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 1: badly when it came to dealing with this because they're

1613
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 1: supposed to be They've been preparing for this for a

1614
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,920
Speaker 1: long time. They have in place, what were the most

1615
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: robust reporting mechanisms possible. That was what they thought, that

1616
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: was what they were telling everybody, stretching back for over

1617
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:26,840
Speaker 1: a decade. How can the Chinese government get this so wrong?

1618
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: And the answer is the Chinese government doesn't care about

1619
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,640
Speaker 1: human life. It cares about power. But there's a more complicated,

1620
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 1: in the weeds version of why the Chinese government mess

1621
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:39,720
Speaker 1: this up so badly, and I will get into that,

1622
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 1: but you know, the world health organizations also willing to

1623
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 1: take China's word for it. You know a lot of

1624
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 1: these international organizations One of the problems, whether it's the UN,

1625
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 1: the who you name it, one of the big issues

1626
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:52,599
Speaker 1: is that they have this mentality of treating all nations

1627
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:56,880
Speaker 1: like they're equally decent regimes, like the act of the

1628
01:27:57,120 --> 01:28:01,760
Speaker 1: people that are engaged in, you know, the day to

1629
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 1: day governance, are all are all just like each other.

1630
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:05,960
Speaker 1: You know, one country is as good as another country.

1631
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:10,799
Speaker 1: There's the equivalent of moral relativism expanded out through nation

1632
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:14,640
Speaker 1: states that exists in all these international institutions, and it

1633
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:17,840
Speaker 1: leads to things like this where you have China being

1634
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:19,720
Speaker 1: treated like it's a good guy here by the World

1635
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:23,519
Speaker 1: Health Organization, and just a refusal to talk about Taiwan,

1636
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 1: which is an independent country. I mean, right now, Taiwan

1637
01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:28,520
Speaker 1: is an independent country. We're in the middle of a pandemic,

1638
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:30,680
Speaker 1: and we can't talk about what Taiwan is doing. We're

1639
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:32,880
Speaker 1: going to just say that it's part of China. That

1640
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 1: would be news to Taiwan, by the way. So the

1641
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,680
Speaker 1: World Health Organization and some of these other bodies that

1642
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:43,240
Speaker 1: are supposed to be a political and just helping us

1643
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 1: out with the disease, just remember that they're all these

1644
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 1: big international institutions are very political and the Chinese government

1645
01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 1: is going to not just try to avoid blame for this,

1646
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:56,120
Speaker 1: They're going to They're going to try to capitalize on

1647
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 1: the situation as much as they can. And look, I

1648
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 1: start to get work. What if China recognizes our financial

1649
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 1: weakness and decides that they can they can afford because

1650
01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:09,960
Speaker 1: of their manufacturing base and their accessing out of raw

1651
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: materials because of the Belton Road policy. What if they

1652
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:16,320
Speaker 1: decide a dump US treasuries the tune of a few

1653
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 1: trillion dollars they own. Well, we'll get into China more tomorrow,

1654
01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:21,920
Speaker 1: I think. What we'll do more of a deep dive

1655
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:25,639
Speaker 1: into China and the COVID nineteen crisis. Roll calls up next.

1656

01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:44,880
Speaker 1: stuck here in quarantine. I feel a little bit like

01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:06,080
Speaker 1: so good with you in quarantine? At least you know

1670
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a goldfish or something, or maybe a plant.

1671
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:11,080
Speaker 1: I don't really see how a goldfish or a plant

1672
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:13,640
Speaker 1: would keep me occupied for very long. Yeah, but you

1673
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 1: know a company, Yeah, I mean I guess, yeah, not really.

1674
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 1: But what is are you alerting dogs? No? I love dogs. Oh,

1675
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:23,320
Speaker 1: you love dogs. It's just expensive to be in this

1676
01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:25,880
Speaker 1: apartment building. Yeah. And plus right now, you wouldn't want

1677
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:27,640
Speaker 1: to be house training a dog. That's for exactly, so

1678
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:29,800
Speaker 1: you don't want to be outside all the time. I

1679
01:30:29,880 --> 01:30:32,120
Speaker 1: got a dog here. She directs my life right down.

1680
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:33,599
Speaker 1: Whenever she wants to go out, I gotta go out.

1681
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:35,320
Speaker 1: Whatever she wants is what I gotta do. So it's

1682
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:39,160
Speaker 1: it's busy. It's amazing. What dog hasn't interrupted the show yet? Yeah,

1683
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:41,439
Speaker 1: she's very quiet. I mean she's in the room with

1684
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:43,120
Speaker 1: me all the time. In fact, I will tell you this.

1685
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:45,760
Speaker 1: She actually sleeps on my feet sometimes as I'm doing

1686
01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:48,639
Speaker 1: the radio show at least feeling great. She's like, she's

1687
01:30:48,640 --> 01:30:51,280
Speaker 1: like a little baby seal warming my feet with her

1688
01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:54,559
Speaker 1: with her white fur and her blubber. It's great. She's

1689
01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:57,439
Speaker 1: a chubby one. You're gonna make saying that. She's gonna

1690
01:30:57,439 --> 01:30:58,960
Speaker 1: be so mad at me for saying that, but she

1691
01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 1: knows it's coming. Come on. She's a soft She's a

1692
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:06,000
Speaker 1: full figured French bulldog, that is for sure. All right now,

1693
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:07,840
Speaker 1: Mark is okay, so we're good with that. I heard

1694
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,360
Speaker 1: Mark mentioned Mitch Rap That's one series I like. Who

1695
01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:12,479
Speaker 1: was going to recommend it to you? Vince Flynn is

1696
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:16,240
Speaker 1: the author. Daniel Silva's Gabriel Alan series is good too.

1697
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:18,920
Speaker 1: And if you like short podcasts, you should check out

1698
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 1: the way I heard it with Mike Roe Shields Hie

1699
01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 1: good Sir Alex, thank you for all those recommendations. I

1700
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:29,120
Speaker 1: do appreciate that, and I will say that what you know,

1701
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:31,240
Speaker 1: what I did over the weekend like everybody else, because

1702
01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:33,840
Speaker 1: I feel like there's this greater sense now more than ever,

1703
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:37,479
Speaker 1: that you want to have some community with people and

1704
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:39,360
Speaker 1: you want to be able to talk to them about

1705
01:31:39,439 --> 01:31:42,120
Speaker 1: things you're watching. Because I can't see people, I can't

1706
01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:44,760
Speaker 1: experience things with them. I can't go for walks with them,

1707
01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:46,600
Speaker 1: or or go to dinner with them, or you know,

1708
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:48,720
Speaker 1: I can't cook dinner for my parents right now, which

1709
01:31:48,720 --> 01:31:51,720
Speaker 1: I like to do sometimes. So watching things and being

1710
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:53,759
Speaker 1: able to talk about them is fun. I did watch

1711
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:56,960
Speaker 1: the Tiger King mark. Did you get to it yet? No?

1712
01:31:57,040 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 1: We were binging a different show this weekend. What'd you

1713
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,320
Speaker 1: binge over the weekend? The one about a creek that

1714
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 1: I can't say the first name of them? That? Oh yeah, okay,

1715
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:06,960
Speaker 1: are you almost done with that one? We got through

1716
01:32:07,040 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 1: two seasons just this weekend alone, so we are pretty

1717
01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 1: much pretty close to the end. Yeah. Nice, Okay, cool. Well,

1718
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:14,519
Speaker 1: I'm very curious to hear what your thoughts are on

1719
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:16,879
Speaker 1: Tiger King. I thought Tiger King the first couple of episodes,

1720
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 1: we're pretty amazing, very entertaining. Then I think it kind

1721
01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:21,960
Speaker 1: of I think it's seven episodes in total. Then it

1722
01:32:22,040 --> 01:32:24,639
Speaker 1: kind of got a little bit, a little two into things,

1723
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:28,600
Speaker 1: it got a little depressing, and it finished Okay, it finished, okay,

1724
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:31,719
Speaker 1: But the first two episodes are just are just mind boggling.

1725
01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty amazing stuff that goes on. If

1726
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 1: I here's here's the question for you, producer Mark, if

1727
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:39,760
Speaker 1: you if you could have if you had to have

1728
01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:46,120
Speaker 1: any exotic and dangerous animal, meaning it has to actually

1729
01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:49,519
Speaker 1: prove some some threat to your safety, but you got

1730
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:52,559
Speaker 1: to have it as a pet. So we're talking lines tigers, bears,

1731
01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:59,000
Speaker 1: oh my king Cobra's, elephants, hippopotami. What do you go for?

1732
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 1: This is a ridiculous question. There was any higher series

1733
01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:06,920
Speaker 1: just about people that do exactly this. I mean, I

1734
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:10,400
Speaker 1: guess lying cubs are kind of cute, exactly, that's what

1735
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:15,719
Speaker 1: most people go for. Panda. Yeah, I like that answer.

1736
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 1: I think a panda is actually an excellent choice. They're

1737
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 1: very cute, and yes they're bears, and they're dangerous and

1738
01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:23,040
Speaker 1: they're big. I wouldn't want to pet them though. Do

1739
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 1: you ever see the video of the guy that got

1740
01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:26,360
Speaker 1: too close to a panda cage in China and it

1741
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:29,560
Speaker 1: grabs him and holds him against the bars, and you realize, oh,

1742
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 1: it's a lot stronger than me. Yeah, it's not a puppy,

1743
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:35,639
Speaker 1: it's not. Yeah, it's not a cute little They look cute,

1744
01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 1: but they're actually big bears. The one thing that would

1745
01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:40,920
Speaker 1: scare me more than I think a lot of people would.

1746
01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:46,880
Speaker 1: I think I think the larger primates, so baboons and chimpanzees.

1747
01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:51,559
Speaker 1: When those guys go bad, it's it's very bad. They're

1748
01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:54,800
Speaker 1: really scary. M I would also recommend anybody that wants

1749
01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:56,840
Speaker 1: to I've told you about Project Nim many times. That's

1750
01:33:56,840 --> 01:34:01,240
Speaker 1: a great a great documentary on on chimpanzees. And I

1751
01:34:01,280 --> 01:34:05,240
Speaker 1: would also say for me, I would want a Bobcat.

1752
01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:07,760
Speaker 1: I just think a bobcat would be really cool and

1753
01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:10,120
Speaker 1: it's pretty realistic too. You could have a pet Bobcat

1754
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,719
Speaker 1: at home and it wouldn't take up that much space.

1755
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:15,800
Speaker 1: It's about the size of a of like a labrador.

1756
01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:17,559
Speaker 1: I mean, they're maybe even a little smaller than a labrador.

1757
01:34:17,640 --> 01:34:20,599
Speaker 1: They're not that big. So I don't know. Maybe maybe

1758
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:22,519
Speaker 1: I'll get a pet bobcat one. All right, you do that,

1759
01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:25,320
Speaker 1: let me know how it goes. I'm never coming over, Okay,

1760
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:27,599
Speaker 1: I'll bring it to work. We'll make sure it's safe

1761
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:30,360
Speaker 1: for you though. Tracy hey Buck and producer Mark, I

1762
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:32,000
Speaker 1: just want to say thank you for showing up every day.

1763
01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to stay up on the news, but I

1764
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:35,920
Speaker 1: get so annoyed seeing all the lies. I've had to

1765
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:38,040
Speaker 1: steer clear of social media because I get sucked in

1766
01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 1: by ill informed friends. If I just listen to you guys,

1767
01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:42,160
Speaker 1: it centers my chee. I feel like I know what's

1768
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 1: going on. Be safe, keep those shields high. We appreciate you,

1769
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:47,640
Speaker 1: and you're in my prayers. Well, Tracy, we appreciate you.

1770
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, and we certainly try to keep

1771
01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:53,559
Speaker 1: things centered and and and good to go. Mark, can

1772
01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:55,880
Speaker 1: you see the how far are you from the from

1773
01:34:55,880 --> 01:35:00,559
Speaker 1: the Hudson? I can see swamp. I can't see Hudson.

1774
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:02,840
Speaker 1: Can't you see swam not Hudson. I'm just wondering if

1775
01:35:02,840 --> 01:35:04,920
Speaker 1: you were able to catch a glimpse, because if you

1776
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:06,800
Speaker 1: were in Jersey City, for example, you definitely would have

1777
01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:10,240
Speaker 1: been able to see the ship coming up the Hudson.

1778
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:11,439
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a pretty big to do because

1779
01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 1: they're all the helicopters and the tug boats and stuff

1780
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:17,280
Speaker 1: around it, So it was a pretty big, pretty big scene.

1781
01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:22,320
Speaker 1: But you know, swamp, swamp is good. Swamp is good too. Christy,

1782
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:24,559
Speaker 1: hey Buck, thank you and producer Mark were still doing

1783
01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 1: the show every day. You guys are so nice. Thank you.

1784
01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:29,439
Speaker 1: Our city stay at home order begins tomorrow through April sixteenth,

1785
01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:31,120
Speaker 1: but I work in law enforcements, so I still have

1786
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:32,960
Speaker 1: to head to the office. I am glad to have

1787
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 1: a job though, and a change of scenery from my house.

1788
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 1: My cats are likely tired of me talking video of

1789
01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:40,720
Speaker 1: taking video and photos of them. I'm just trying to

1790
01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:42,800
Speaker 1: make them into social media influencers so they can bring

1791
01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:45,599
Speaker 1: some revenue and stop freeloading. Also, I really miss sports,

1792
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:49,040
Speaker 1: social distance hugs from North Carolina. Well, Christie, thank you,

1793
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:51,439
Speaker 1: and yeah, we all we all missed those distractions. I

1794
01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:52,920
Speaker 1: think that's one of the reasons this is so hard

1795
01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 1: for us all psychologically, is that we don't have those

1796
01:35:56,120 --> 01:36:01,120
Speaker 1: those real things to focus our attend And it makes

1797
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:04,800
Speaker 1: me appreciate actually how much sports professional sports are so

1798
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:09,120
Speaker 1: really useful to people. Yeah, it's entertainment, but even beyond

1799
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:12,639
Speaker 1: that as as escape and as an emotional focus into

1800
01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:17,200
Speaker 1: something that's that's positive and that's you know, how would

1801
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 1: you describe a producer, Mark, I mean, when you're watching

1802
01:36:19,080 --> 01:36:21,599
Speaker 1: a Great Rangers game, where does your mind go? I mean, yeah,

1803
01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:23,640
Speaker 1: it's it's an escape. But if you remember in New

1804
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:26,719
Speaker 1: York right after nine to eleven. The first sporting event

1805
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:29,679
Speaker 1: after nine eleven was on September twenty first, I believe

1806
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:32,599
Speaker 1: the Mets played the Braves. Mike Piazza hit a game

1807
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:36,120
Speaker 1: winning home run and that building shook. It made everyone

1808
01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:39,200
Speaker 1: smile for the first time since the towers fell, and

1809
01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 1: it was such an escape for everyone. I think that's

1810
01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:43,719
Speaker 1: the big difference you were talking about nine to eleven

1811
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:46,360
Speaker 1: before in comparison to this is we don't know when

1812
01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:48,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna end. We don't know when we can smile again.

1813
01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:51,479
Speaker 1: That's what sports did back then, and I mean, I

1814
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:55,280
Speaker 1: just hope sports can come back sometime to make people smile. Yeah.

1815
01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:57,559
Speaker 1: And by the way, we do have the We do

1816
01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:03,040
Speaker 1: have that clip of here's here's a agreed upon socially

1817
01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:06,320
Speaker 1: distanced cheering from buildings all over New York City for

1818
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 1: people who are out there on the front lines keeping

1819
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:23,160
Speaker 1: work going. Can you play that audio? See producer Mark.

1820
01:37:23,200 --> 01:37:26,000
Speaker 1: I even liked the whistling there. Yeah, I was wondering

1821
01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 1: if you would complain about the whistling, but no, I

1822
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:30,439
Speaker 1: even liked it. Yeah, it was necessary. Yep, that was

1823
01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:33,240
Speaker 1: good whistling. That was a very nice moment. It was.

1824
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 1: I mean really, if you see the video of it,

1825
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:37,639
Speaker 1: it's even better because you can tell that there's people

1826
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:40,519
Speaker 1: in buildings all over a part of New York just

1827
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:44,840
Speaker 1: cheering for our first responders, cheering for doctors, nurses, people

1828
01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:47,720
Speaker 1: on the front lines of this thing. So it was

1829
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:49,400
Speaker 1: a moment. You're going to see more of that, which

1830
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:51,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna need too. I mean, keeping morale high right

1831
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:56,439
Speaker 1: now is very, very important. Sarah, hey Buck, I love

1832
01:37:56,479 --> 01:37:59,920
Speaker 1: the trivia about your mom being a professional ballet dancer.

1833
01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:02,519
Speaker 1: I teach at a classical ballet school that I hope

1834
01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:04,280
Speaker 1: will still be in business once this is over. We

1835
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:07,000
Speaker 1: started live streaming classes this week, which is nothing like

1836
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:09,400
Speaker 1: the real thing. My hubby and I were supposed to

1837
01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:11,040
Speaker 1: fly to New York City with our son this morning

1838
01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:13,479
Speaker 1: for his senior trip. Now we're wondering if he'll be

1839
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:16,200
Speaker 1: graduating from high school on time. Hopefully we'll be able

1840
01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:17,920
Speaker 1: to make the Big Apple too. With all the TV

1841
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:21,840
Speaker 1: show talk, I haven't heard one anyone mentioned Mozart in

1842
01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 1: the Jungle. It's one of my favorites. I love your podcast.

1843
01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 1: I'll look forward to it every day. Shield Hie, Sarah

1844
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:29,439
Speaker 1: and Arizona, Well, thank you so much, Sarah, and I

1845
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:34,559
Speaker 1: haven't seen Mozart in the jungle, so sounds good. It

1846
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:37,240
Speaker 1: takes place in Manhattan anything, it takes place in a

1847
01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:39,479
Speaker 1: normal New York right now, though it is going to

1848
01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 1: be a little tough for me because it's such a

1849
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:45,200
Speaker 1: right and this is the hardest it's ever been to

1850
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:48,120
Speaker 1: be in this city right now, through all the natural disasters,

1851
01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:50,439
Speaker 1: through nine to eleven, this is this is really right now,

1852
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:53,800
Speaker 1: I think is the most it's the toughest period we've

1853
01:38:53,840 --> 01:38:57,320
Speaker 1: gone through. Jeff hey Buck, I really enjoy your podcast

1854
01:38:57,400 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 1: and how you systematically tear down the leftist narrative is

1855
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:02,639
Speaker 1: really disgusting what the media, democrats they're one of the same,

1856
01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:05,040
Speaker 1: are doing with this crisis. I find that interesting that

1857
01:39:05,080 --> 01:39:07,519
Speaker 1: these same liberal governors say we can risk one life

1858
01:39:07,520 --> 01:39:14,280
Speaker 1: with this virus while also advocating for effect fourth trimester abortions,

1859
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:17,760
Speaker 1: fourth being shortly after birth. How about those precious lives.

1860
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 1: There's no consistency at all. Stuck working from home in Charlotte,

1861
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:25,559
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Yeah, I mean it's first of all, thank

1862
01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:27,120
Speaker 1: you for listening to podcast, and I'm really glad you

1863
01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:29,439
Speaker 1: enjoy you get something out of it every day and

1864
01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:33,880
Speaker 1: as for the not risking one life with the virus,

1865
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:36,479
Speaker 1: I mean, that's this make this feels good for people

1866
01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:38,320
Speaker 1: to say it's just not true. And I know it's

1867
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:40,519
Speaker 1: really easy to demagogue this and show people down, but

1868
01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:43,360
Speaker 1: we make we as a society take risks all the

1869
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:46,519
Speaker 1: time that we know will end in risks. Right now.

1870
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:48,800
Speaker 1: There's a difference between shoving somebody off a cliff and

1871
01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:51,679
Speaker 1: saying somebody, all right, you know you can drive down

1872
01:39:51,680 --> 01:39:53,840
Speaker 1: this road, but some people may skid off the end

1873
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:55,439
Speaker 1: of this cliff and we still want a road here.

1874
01:39:55,479 --> 01:39:59,720
Speaker 1: That's not the same thing. Yeah, Beverly Ruts, could you

1875
01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:03,200
Speaker 1: please up Tlu on your lap again during your live broadcast.

1876
01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:05,280
Speaker 1: She's so cute and thank you for making my day

1877
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 1: so much better. Well, Beverly, maybe we'll do a Facebook

1878
01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:13,920
Speaker 1: live with Toulu and maybe we can bring her into

1879
01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:16,320
Speaker 1: some of the If you're not already watching on Pluto

1880
01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:20,120
Speaker 1: TV channel two forty eight, the first please do. Pluto

1881
01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:22,160
Speaker 1: TV is a great app for you to have right now.

1882
01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 1: Think of it like you're just adding an entirely new

1883
01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:29,280
Speaker 1: cable TV lineup. But it's free, free, free, free on

1884
01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:31,280
Speaker 1: your phone and you just click the channels. You want

1885
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:33,760
Speaker 1: to have a lot of channels. The first is the

1886
01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:37,360
Speaker 1: channel that I'm on with Jesse Kelly, Dana Lash, Mike Slater.

1887
01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:41,320
Speaker 1: And it's just think of it like we're keeping you

1888
01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:43,519
Speaker 1: company and bringing you up to speed every day, and

1889
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:45,599
Speaker 1: you can watch video of it and we're all connected.

1890
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:47,439
Speaker 1: It's like it's like I'm doing a FaceTime call with

1891
01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 1: every single one of you who's watching on Pluto TV.

1892
01:40:50,520 --> 01:40:52,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of what it looks like too. But that's

1893
01:40:52,040 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 1: because I have to do this from home. People are asking, well,

1894
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 1: what is your studio look like that, Well, it's because

1895
01:40:56,520 --> 01:40:58,760
Speaker 1: we aren't allowed to be in studios anymore because of

1896
01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:02,760
Speaker 1: the global pandemic, so there are some some trade offs

1897
01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:05,519
Speaker 1: we have to make. And as for Talu, yeah, Talula

1898
01:41:05,720 --> 01:41:09,240
Speaker 1: is a lot of fun and she's great for live

1899
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 1: broadcasts and we'll bring her back into it as soon

1900
01:41:11,479 --> 01:41:14,559
Speaker 1: as we can. She doesn't like to sit for that long,

1901
01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:16,559
Speaker 1: but say sometimes she gets a little squirmy, you know,

1902
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:19,839
Speaker 1: she wants to go and sniff and find like leftover

1903
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:22,400
Speaker 1: chicken on the floor somewhere. I gotta keep my floors

1904
01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:25,080
Speaker 1: really clean because otherwise there's any food in the kitchen

1905
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:27,599
Speaker 1: on the floor. She goes right for it. She's amazing

1906
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 1: that a little sense of smells incredible. I got her,

1907
01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:33,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. I got her some doggy steps

1908
01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:35,200
Speaker 1: so that she doesn't have to bother me when she

1909
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 1: wants to be at the foot of the bed or

1910
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:37,600
Speaker 1: when she wants to get up on the couch. She

1911
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:39,559
Speaker 1: likes to do this thing where she winds and then

1912
01:41:39,560 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 1: i'd come over and pick her up. And she weighs

1913
01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:45,559
Speaker 1: about thirty thirty two pounds. I think, so she's a thick,

1914
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:49,360
Speaker 1: as I said, a full figured boss, a full figured

1915
01:41:49,640 --> 01:41:53,280
Speaker 1: French bulldog. I got her stairs that she can climb up,

1916
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:54,880
Speaker 1: and I kept doing this thing where I would hold

1917
01:41:54,920 --> 01:41:56,240
Speaker 1: a little piece of chicken at the top of the

1918
01:41:56,280 --> 01:41:58,719
Speaker 1: stairs to see if she'd walk up, and she would

1919
01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:01,439
Speaker 1: immediately run around to the other end of the couch,

1920
01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:02,760
Speaker 1: or run around the other end of the bed and

1921
01:42:02,880 --> 01:42:05,799
Speaker 1: jump up like she's evil Kinneval all of a sudden,

1922
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:08,679
Speaker 1: and she's doing a trick where she's flying over twenty

1923
01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:11,120
Speaker 1: cars or something, jump right up onto the bed, jump

1924
01:42:11,240 --> 01:42:12,680
Speaker 1: right up onto the couch, and take the chicken out

1925
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:15,360
Speaker 1: of my hand. So she doesn't need the stairs. She

1926
01:42:15,400 --> 01:42:18,040
Speaker 1: won't use the stairs when there's chicken involved. But when

1927
01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 1: there's no chicken, I am the human elevator and I

1928
01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:24,679
Speaker 1: have to make sure that I pick her up. You're

1929
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:28,440
Speaker 1: in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

1930
01:42:32,080 --> 01:42:34,320
Speaker 1: All right, we got married. Good evening, Buck, first time

1931
01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:37,000
Speaker 1: watching you on Pluto TV. Thank you for all you do.

1932
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:38,880
Speaker 1: But I can't help looking over your shoulder and seeing

1933
01:42:38,880 --> 01:42:40,519
Speaker 1: how high up you are. I don't think I could

1934
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:42,639
Speaker 1: live that high. Keep up the good work. I enjoy

1935
01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:45,160
Speaker 1: your show. Oh Mary, I'm glad you got to watch

1936
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 1: it on Pluto TV. Thank you for tuning in, and

1937
01:42:47,720 --> 01:42:49,840
Speaker 1: for everybody else out there listening on Radio World. If

1938
01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:51,960
Speaker 1: you want, you can always check us out on video two.

1939
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:55,840
Speaker 1: And yes, I am very My apartment is very high

1940
01:42:55,920 --> 01:43:02,080
Speaker 1: up I am. I live higher than probably ninety five

1941
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:06,639
Speaker 1: percent of you have a building where you in your

1942
01:43:06,680 --> 01:43:08,840
Speaker 1: town or city that's as high as where I live.

1943
01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:10,960
Speaker 1: I think that's probably fair to say, maybe have a

1944
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:13,080
Speaker 1: five percent of you listening, maybe ten percent of you listening.

1945
01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean I'm way up. I'm over forty stories in

1946
01:43:16,200 --> 01:43:19,120
Speaker 1: the air, So that's that's up there. I don't know

1947
01:43:19,160 --> 01:43:22,479
Speaker 1: how many cities even have that many residential towers over

1948
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:25,960
Speaker 1: forty stories. But it's I'm up, I'm up in the sky.

1949
01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:31,880
Speaker 1: It's a great view, but it's it's. Yeah, you don't

1950
01:43:31,880 --> 01:43:33,719
Speaker 1: want to look down too close to the window sometimes,

1951
01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:37,800
Speaker 1: that's for sure, Mike buck Neither CBS, nor ABC, nor

1952
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:42,280
Speaker 1: nor eight NBC aired the task Force update today. The

1953
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:44,680
Speaker 1: CBS even news reporter claim that Trump wouldn't talk to

1954
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 1: governors of Washington and Michigan unless they appreciated him. That's

1955
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 1: not what he said. She gave the false impression that

1956
01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:52,439
Speaker 1: he's holding up assistance until they kiss his button. Now

1957
01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:54,240
Speaker 1: the media can lie and twist around what he says,

1958
01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:56,200
Speaker 1: and we can hear we can't hear the important info

1959
01:43:56,240 --> 01:43:59,040
Speaker 1: provided by these updates. Yeah, Mike, I mean, I think

1960
01:43:59,080 --> 01:44:01,479
Speaker 1: it's absurd that they're not running the press conference. They're

1961
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:03,960
Speaker 1: not letting us see exactly what the president says on

1962
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:07,880
Speaker 1: those channels. What could be more newsworthy than the press conference?

1963
01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:10,320
Speaker 1: You know, what could be more newsworthy? I just I

1964
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:14,240
Speaker 1: asked that question in all honesty. Jerry, Hey, Buck, I'm

1965
01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:16,759
Speaker 1: oss listening to the podcast. It's good to hear feisty

1966
01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:19,720
Speaker 1: in the trenches fighting buck back. I didn't vote for

1967
01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:21,680
Speaker 1: Trump but listening to press or Friday, I thought out loud,

1968
01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:23,720
Speaker 1: thank God for Trump. I'm in the trenches with you now.

1969
01:44:23,720 --> 01:44:26,519
Speaker 1: Shield's high. Well, Jerry, thank you man. And I'm if

1970
01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:29,120
Speaker 1: I seem like I'm just not as as feisty in

1971
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 1: the fight today, it's just I'm a little yesterday was

1972
01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:33,840
Speaker 1: it felt like a setback with the extension of the

1973
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:36,800
Speaker 1: quarantine managers here for a month. But I'll be back

1974
01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:40,439
Speaker 1: in action tomorrow. I'll be back in action doing all

1975
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:43,360
Speaker 1: that stuff, so it'll be It'll be good for sure.

1976
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:49,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll see, we'll see. Um, let's see what

1977
01:44:49,240 --> 01:44:53,720
Speaker 1: we got here, Karen. Please don't try to cut your

1978
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:57,040
Speaker 1: own hair. I'm ninety nine percent sure you will be sorry.

1979
01:44:57,360 --> 01:44:59,760
Speaker 1: If you can't find a hat big enough, tell us

1980
01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:01,960
Speaker 1: you're head circumference. And I bet someone on Team Buck

1981
01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:04,920
Speaker 1: could knit you a hat, or you could wear a

1982
01:45:05,080 --> 01:45:10,559
Speaker 1: scarf Pirates style or a turban um. What do we

1983
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:13,280
Speaker 1: really I can't cut my own hair. I trimmed the

1984
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:15,360
Speaker 1: beard down a little bit because a beard was getting

1985
01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 1: really it was starting to look like Tom Hanks and castaway. Uh,

1986
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, here we go, ned you a hat or

1987
01:45:23,200 --> 01:45:25,720
Speaker 1: a scarf? What what do you think I like the

1988
01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:30,160
Speaker 1: turban idea. I could definitely do a knit hat if

1989
01:45:30,160 --> 01:45:32,160
Speaker 1: somebody has a great idea for that. That says team

1990
01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:36,240
Speaker 1: buck on, it's gonna wear a hat indoors um, Yes,

1991
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:40,160
Speaker 1: when you're on the show. Uh, yeah, I guess I

1992
01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:43,840
Speaker 1: don't know U. So yeah, we will. We will have

1993
01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:47,679
Speaker 1: to see how that goes. Fiona. That sound like Trump.

1994
01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:49,640
Speaker 1: We'll see, We're looking at it. We'll see. With Buck's hair,

1995
01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:52,360
Speaker 1: We'll see. I love your show. I'd regularly of the podcast.

1996
01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:54,479
Speaker 1: I'm listening to your three twenty seven show. Now, you

1997
01:45:54,520 --> 01:45:57,800
Speaker 1: spoke very unfavorably of the actions of Representative Massey of

1998
01:45:57,880 --> 01:46:00,640
Speaker 1: Kentucky me the statement, you don't lecture someone constitution when

1999
01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:03,800
Speaker 1: their house is burning down. I respectfully disagree. Our constitution

2000
01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:06,839
Speaker 1: is necessary to give guidance and provide guard rails, especially

2001
01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:09,280
Speaker 1: in times at crisis. Well, yeah, but it wasn't about

2002
01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't a constitutional issue, So that's actually a bad

2003
01:46:12,439 --> 01:46:14,600
Speaker 1: example that I used. It was a legislative issue that

2004
01:46:14,640 --> 01:46:17,560
Speaker 1: had to do with too much spending. It wasn't like

2005
01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:22,000
Speaker 1: they were rounding people up and putting them in camps. So, Fiona,

2006
01:46:22,040 --> 01:46:23,960
Speaker 1: I just had to say that it wasn't enough of

2007
01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:26,680
Speaker 1: an emergency to justify what Massey was saying he was

2008
01:46:26,680 --> 01:46:27,960
Speaker 1: going to do, which is why he didn't do it,

2009
01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:31,160
Speaker 1: and he backed down. Thank you everybody for listening. We'll

2010
01:46:31,200 --> 01:46:34,320
Speaker 1: be back tomorrow. We will be better, stronger in the future.

2011
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:38,760
Speaker 1: Today we fight, we stay together, shields high,
