WEBVTT - 30 More Days Of Lockdown 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:15.200 You are entering the freedom hunt. It's Monday, March three eighth. 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:18.320 We are in week two of quarantine. The President has 0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.360 an update for how long these measures should be continued. 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.320 I'll share that with you. Plus the arrival of a 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:28.160 US Navy ship here in New York City preparing for 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:31.479 the deluge of cases to come in the weeks ahead, 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.600 and how does China factor into all this, plus the 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.400 politics around the coronavirus fight coming up on the Buck 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:41.479 Sexton Show. This is the bus Sexton Show, where the 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.760 mission or mission is to decode what really matters with 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:51.720 actionable intelligence. Make no mistake. Here a great American again, 0:00:51.840 --> 0:01:03.040 the Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. No, yeah, 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.040 I don't want high approval ratings for this. I wish 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.480 we could have our old life back. We had the 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:12.080 greatest economy that we've ever had, and we didn't have deaths. 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:16.160 We didn't have this, We didn't have this horrible scourge, 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.240 this plague, you call it whatever you want, the virus. 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:24.680 But we're working very hard. This all I know. You know, 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.399 I see things, I see numbers. They don't matter to me. 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.119 What matters to me is that we have a victory 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.440 over this thing as soon as possible. When you hear 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.440 that two point two million people could have died if 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.520 we didn't go through all of this, and now the 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.479 number will be, you know, a much lower number. Hopefully 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.479 it's going to be the numbers that we're talking about. 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.080 But so I appreciate it very much. But you know 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.080 what I want is I want our life back again. 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.360 I want our country back. I want the world back. 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.120 I want the world to get rid of this this again. 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.800 One hundred and fifty one countries and we're gonna do it. 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.800 We're gonna have a great victory. Welcome to the box, 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.480 Sex and share everybody from here in New York City 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.560 to you all across the country and around the world. 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.960 The President giving voice to exactly what so many of 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.800 us are thinking right now. We want our lives back, 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.480 we want our country back, we want our world back. 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:20.160 And this virus has now shown people that it is 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.960 much more than was anticipated a couple of months ago. 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.000 The response to it is going to be a point 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.440 of difficulty and pain for a lot of people. And 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.040 what the economic ramivocations of this may be, nobody can 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:40.160 tell you yet. But we now are in it. We 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.200 are in this fight that really the last few weeks 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.960 it felt like preparation for here we are now trying 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:52.239 to establish all the supplies we need, the protocols and 0:02:53.080 --> 0:03:00.320 the best possible practices for defeating a pandemic. That still 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.519 stunning that we're at this point right now, and it's 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:08.400 also a reminder of really how petty and how unserious 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:10.640 to so many of the political squabbles of the past 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.440 have been. Here we are desperately trying to come together 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:19.320 to create enough masks and ventilators, get all this personal 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.040 protective equipment in place. Here we are doing here, we 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.960 are doing everything in our power to try and find 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:31.400 a way forward that saves the maximum amount of lives, 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:37.840 while also trying to maintain some economic activity going forward, 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:40.520 or at least the ability to have an economy, because 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.640 lives also are quite clearly dependent upon that. Anyone who 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.720 doesn't think so should stop and ask will hold on 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:49.160 a second, If a shortage of ventilators is going to 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:53.960 cause death, where do the ventilators come from? We need 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:59.640 economic activity in this country, and the President certainly understands that. 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:04.480 But I must say yesterday at his press conference, it 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:08.000 was quite clear that there has been a change in 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:13.720 thinking from this administration to straight up lockdown. That's where 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:18.040 we are. We are in the national battened down the 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:22.160 hatches phase of this fight. The President had to tell 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.200 everybody that the member I had been telling you that 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.760 fifteen days, fifteen days to stop the spread. That was 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:34.640 the initial campaign, and we should give him the fifteen days. Well, 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.800 we've done that. We've gotten to week two of that. 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.640 And instead of thinking that we're anywhere near being finished, 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.960 what we have been told is the following. This was 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.919 the President yesterday, Bruce and Mark Plick Clip four. The 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:54.159 modeling estimates that the peak in death rate is likely 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.279 to hit in two weeks. So I'll say it again, 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:02.400 the peak, the highest point of remember this is likely 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.320 to hit in two weeks. Nothing would be worse than 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:10.440 declaring victory before the victory is one that would be 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.680 the greatest loss of all. Therefore, the next two weeks 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.080 and during this period, it's very important that every one 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:23.560 strongly follow the guidelines, have to follow the guidelines that 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:27.480 our great Vice President holds up a lot. He's holding 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.680 that up a lot. He believes in it so strongly. 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:35.600 The better you do, the faster this whole nightmare will end. Therefore, 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:40.479 we will be extending our guidelines to April thirtieth to 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:47.600 slow the spread. We are on quarantine here in New 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:52.520 York City and other cities as well. We are putting 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:58.760 in place maximum protective measures for another thirty days. Effectively, 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.640 that's where we're going to be. It's not going to 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:06.159 be made before you even have some restoration of normal 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.599 economic activity. It's going to be quite a while before 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:13.599 we see ourselves able to start to breathe more easily. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:18.359 Pardon the expression, this was a tough one. Now, the 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.640 market didn't really react very negatively negatively to this today, 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:28.120 I think in part because the expectation is at the rescue, 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:32.520 the two trillion dollar rescue package is going to be 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.559 able to sustain the economy with all of the direct 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:41.680 cash infusions as well as these loans for small businesses, 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:46.039 that it'll sustain the economy for at least three or 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.719 four months, more or less. We'll see if that's correct. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.200 Remember that no one's ever done this before. There is 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.920 no playbook for putting an economy at a deep freeze. 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:03.440 There's no precedent for a society as large as ours, 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:07.440 with the complexity that ours has, of telling people that 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.560 they have to stay at home, and in New York 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.680 it's getting particularly extreme. I'll bring you into Look, I 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.800 understand this is a show that many of you all 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:20.040 across the country here, but New York is the worst 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.080 hit place in the entire country right now with this, 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:27.760 and what you're seeing here is going to be replicated elsewhere, 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.040 the spread of the disease, the fight now it perhaps 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.280 the aggregate numbers here will be larger, but keep in 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:38.920 mind that the hospital system here, the hospital system here 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.920 is also larger and more complicated than what you would have, 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.480 more complex than what you would have in a vast 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.320 majority probably all other metro marias in the country, just 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:51.600 because of the size of New York City itself. So 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.080 the President said, look, give us until the end of April. 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.400 Give us until the end of April to get this 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.720 thing as under control as we can, and then we'll 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:04.040 look to start to have more normal economic activity. I 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.600 guess now we are really in the government's hands here 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.680 in a way that makes me deeply uncomfortable. I'm sure 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.880 many of you feel exactly the same way. There's that 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:19.640 I have two conflicting emotions about the government response. On 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.600 the one hand. I want to be optimistic and I 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:27.280 want to be cheerful about their prospects for long term success. 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.360 I mean, there's nothing you can't be cheerful now, it's 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:33.520 it's bleak out there, my friends. But be optimistic, better word, 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:37.880 about the long term possibilities here, and I'm hoping for 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:42.800 the best from our government response. I'm also seeing a 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:49.000 combination of incompetence and dictatorial impulse from the people that 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.200 are in charge, specifically here in the Mayor of New 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:55.560 York City, but you'll see this elsewhere too. This is 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.120 going to be a stress test on our society and 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.720 on us, the likes of which we have never seen before, 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.400 this disease. At this point, based on what I'm hearing, 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:10.199 and I've spoken to numerous doctors who are dealing with 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:14.520 this problem themselves, and what they're telling me is this 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.199 is I thought it was going to be bad. Really 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.600 the last three weeks, I've realized that this is going 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.040 to be We're in for a real nightmare here. It's 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.200 the disease itself is worse than I had anticipated. I mean, 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.280 I'm not a healthcare expert. I all I can do 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:33.600 is read what I read, read what I see. Everyone 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:37.240 reads what they read, but I am seeing now that 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.400 this is even a level beyond and there are younger, 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.839 healthier people, people in their forties and fifties, who are 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:47.720 needing to go in for emergency care and get intubated 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.680 on this. So look, you don't come here so that 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.559 I can tell you, oh my gosh, the sky is 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.240 falling and it's not. We're gonna be all right. As 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.360 I've been saying, we will get through this. As a country. 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.560 We certainly have better days ahead. And I think that 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.120 while we're preparing for this and trying to look at 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.679 all the most up to date information we can, it's 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:10.640 worth remembering that there will be there will be a 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.560 renewed sense that perhaps for you it might even start today, 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.280 an appreciation for the lives that we have been able 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.720 to lead in this country up to this point, and 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.560 a renewed appreciation down the line once we can return 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.720 to some degree of normalcy for really what we have. 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:28.640 I spent much of my time the first three years 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.120 of the Trump presidency on air, a lot of the time, 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.520 but I repeatedly said to you all, don't listen to 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.200 the people in the media. They're talking about all this 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.000 enjoy your life. You know this, who listen to the 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:42.439 show said, enjoy where we are. Unbelievable prosperity, relative peace, 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:47.640 no major terrorist attacks looming over our heads, no economic catastrophe. 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.439 All those things were true until year four. And as 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.640 we enter year four the Trump presidency, he got hit. 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:59.080 And this is the toughest thing that any American president 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:04.559 has been hit with since Pearl Harbor. Honestly, this is 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.640 the most And some of you would say, well, in 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.200 some ways, maybe even the Great Depression was a bigger 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.439 challenge than Pearl Harbor itself. We're gonna win, but I'm 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.680 just saying, you have to go back. This is one 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.160 hundred year challenge we're facing right now. Once every hundred 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.199 years of society like ours faces something like this. Now. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:26.199 I do take a positive, long term view. I will 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.199 continue to do that. We have a lot to get 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.760 through here today. I've talked to doctors about the prospects 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:37.520 of these different drugs. The Gilead anti viral drug, the 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.199 drug that's actually used to treat gout. It's been around 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.240 for a very long time, an old drug up in Montreal. 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:51.840 There's also chloroquin and a zithromycin there's serology tests to 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.480 look at your blood and see if you have anybodies. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.360 There's a lot of new weapons, just like in any war. 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.319 I mean, those of you who are history buffs. No, 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.320 if you go back to the First World War, Second 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:04.760 World War, the speed of munition development during a war, 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:08.320 it's like nothing else because there's a really obvious and 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:12.160 immediate need for better weapons. We are going to see that, 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.160 I believe, with this disease, we are going to see 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.800 a weaponization of the medical community's knowledge against this virus 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:24.679 at an unprecedented pace. And it's necessary because this virus 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:29.160 is even more contagious and nasty and dangerous than a 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:33.040 vast majority of people who are following it anticipated. This 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:37.600 thing is. This is bad. It's so bad that you 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:42.240 start to wonder this really just occurred naturally in nature. 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.760 This wasn't anything that any human beings anywhere around the 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:51.760 world perhaps had any hand in messing with. Again, I 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:56.520 don't know, but it's a question. We have to leave 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.840 open the possibility until we really know what happened here. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:01.720 I feel like we have to leave open a lot 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.800 of possibilities. We've been lied to a lot. We're being 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.719 lied to you right now by the Chinese government. Every 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.600 day they're saying they have no new cases. We'll get 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:13.640 to that. But on the upside here, as I've been saying, 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.960 you will appreciate your life more than you ever have, 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.960 and we are through this. I think that's my belief. 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:23.400 I certainly will. I'll appreciate little things about life. And 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:25.880 there's also a closest now that you feel with the 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.719 people that you love. There's a recognition we are all 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.200 We've always been on borrowed time. Now we know we're 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:34.959 on borrowed time. Now we've been reminded in this era, 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:40.120 we're all trying to extend youth, you know, into the 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.680 end of a century of our own lifespan. Right, we'll 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:44.800 all think we're going to live forever and ever and 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.000 be healthy forever and ever. And you know that lessons 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:48.560 a little bit as you get older. But now you 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:53.320 know these people that in their twenties and their thirties 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.480 thinking about mortality, thinking about societal collapse, that just never 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:00.120 really enters your mind. It doesn't really come up. And 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.400 we see that all societies have dealt with this stretching 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.560 back for all of human history, pestilence, plague, this has 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.200 been around for as long as we've been gathering, since 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.080 we came out of the caves and came together and 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.559 started farming and having something that we would call now 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.840 a society. So this is not new in that sense 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.640 at all. But this particular virus reminds us that we 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.280 can all walk around with supercomputers in our pockets that 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:27.920 we call smartphones, with instantaneous computation, with technology, with communications 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.560 that seem like they're from an alien race compared to 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:34.000 what we would have had even forty or fifty years ago. 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:40.080 And yet someone somewhere becoming infected with something you can't 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:44.080 even see has brought modern society to this point where 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.480 we are in a real fight. We're in a fight 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.080 the likes of which we've never seen before. As I 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.120 said to you, this is a once in a hundred 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.720 years challenge, and you know, it really does take us back. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:58.280 There's nothing like this that we have faced in one 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.680 concentrated dose. Yes, the Cold War nuclear weapons staring at 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.320 each other across the line of mutually assured destruction and 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.080 all that, but that was long and drawn out, and 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:09.880 there was always in the back of our minds some 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.840 sense that you can deal with human beings human beings, 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.360 you can understand even if they don't have remorse, if 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.760 they don't have any sense of decency, which is usually 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.720 not the case. They all have weak points, right the 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.160 immortal words of Schwarzenegger and Predator. If it bleeds, we 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:32.320 can kill it. Viruses don't bleed, we do. And so 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.880 we are at a disadvantage in that respect, and we 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:39.760 are mobilizing our society against something that has the ability, 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.800 unfortunately to hit us now and come back and hit 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.600 us again in the future. This will change us forever. 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:47.240 I'll be thinking more in the weeks ahead as we 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.480 do this show, and this show really has become a 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:54.640 lifeline for my sense of connection and quite honestly a 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.240 continued stability and sanity in the midst of being in 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.720 quarantine in New York City. But this will also change us. 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.240 This whole process we're going through, we're seeing right now 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.320 of dealing with this virus will change society in ways 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.600 that nobody can really anticipate the part of it. I 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.320 think at an individual level, there'll be a lot of 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.240 lessons learned from this that you can view as growth, 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.920 as positive, you know, assuming we get through this without 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.160 horrific levels of casualties. We're going to have a lot 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:27.480 of loss of life, which is terrible and deeply regrettable 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.720 in every sense. But there'll be individuals, I think, who 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.320 come out of this with a different view of what 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:36.160 really matters. The part of me that is most concerned 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.720 is for the structure as we have in place in 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.480 terms of long term threat. And we will beat this virus. 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.200 Maybe we'll beat in eighteen months, but we will beat it. 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.000 But what does the government look like, what does our 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.640 economy look like? What does America and the world look 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.840 like in eighteen months. I can't begin to tell you 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.120 that I know the answer, but I'm going to be 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:58.560 sharing thoughts with you as we go ahead. Here, you're 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:04.120 in the Freedom und This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.320 We're all in this together, all of us. I have 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:13.840 never seen anything like it. The unity, the spirit of cord, 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.320 the spirit. I've never seen anything like it. It's a 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:21.480 beautiful thing to watch. Unfortunately, the enemy is death. It's death. 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:24.359 A lot of people are dying, so it's very unpleasant. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.480 It's a very unpleasant thing to go through. But the 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:31.080 level of competence, the level of caring, the level of love, 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:36.120 I just think it's brilliant, and it's possibly happening, happening 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.400 in other countries. Possibly, I don't know. I can't speak 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.040 to other countries, but I can speak to the United 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.359 States of America. And I've said it before and I'll 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.440 say it again. I am very proud to be your president. 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.240 He knows how serious this is for anybody who was 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.560 doubtful before. And I understand there is certainly a lack 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:54.000 of trust, and there should be a lack of trust 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:55.960 in our national news media. When this is all through 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.760 and done with, I hope people realize that these media, 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:02.680 these media brands that pretend to be objective journalists, it's 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:04.720 not just a function of I don't like them because 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:08.760 of their politics and their dishonesty. It's that they have 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:12.160 done a massive disservice by lighting their credibility on fire. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.399 We needed a media going into this that we could trust. 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:17.480 We needed a media where and they came. They came 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.320 on TV and they said to the American people, Hey, 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.359 forget about Trump for a second. This is real. Here's 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.440 the information I want to give you on this. Some 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:26.280 people did this. I'm not saying whenever I talk with 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:29.679 the media, there's obviously exceptions. There are some individuals, some 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:34.679 networks network that were more willing to just bring the 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:38.200 American people facts and information. But by and large, our 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.440 media let us down at a point of absolute crisis, 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:43.200 where information was the difference between life and death. They'd 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.879 rather play games and throw food at Donald Trump. Thanks 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:50.159 for listening to the Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:54.040 subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.280 get your podcasts. Why don't you act in a little 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:00.880 more positive It's always trying to question to you as 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.200 you get you, and you know what, that's why nobody 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.359 trusts the media anymore. How's that going to you? Didn't 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:07.840 hear me? That's why you used to work for the 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:09.959 Times and now you work for somebody else. Look, let 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:18.159 me tell you something. Be nice. Be nice. This was 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.520 what the press reporter on more than anything else. While 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:22.560 the President of the United States yesterday is telling us 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.479 that we all basically have to be on lockdown for 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.720 thirty days, that we have to be on lockdown, that 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:33.200 people cannot go and do their jobs, cannot go about 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.479 their lines for another month. We are losing a half 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:40.720 a quarter built in now a half a quarter of 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:44.520 economic activity in GDP. Now, I know when we start 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.639 talking about these things, you start talking about what the 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.040 economic impact of this will be long term. You have 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.800 a lot of individuals who say, you're you're you know, 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:55.240 you're throwing granny off the cliff, You're killing old people, 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:59.119 You're so hardless. No, I want us to be in 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.440 the best position possible as a country to say the 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:07.000 maximum number of lives and have the maximum number of decent, 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:14.280 decent conditions for life in this country. The amount of 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:16.400 the loss of life that could start to happen if 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.640 we have real decay, forget about decay that's too slow, 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:23.080 collapse of civil society, and what happens in the streets. 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:25.919 I mean, I can tell you this, and I'm going 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.920 to be coming in and out on what I'm seeing 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.359 here in New York. You know, there's some positives and 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:35.280 there's some some real downsides. But first let me go 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:38.280 back to before I give you my New York centric 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:40.160 view of this. I mean, I can see a lot 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:43.680 of Midtown and I can basically see Times Square from 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.359 my window. Now, a lot of you have a pretty 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:47.760 good sense of where I am in the city. But 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.560 you know, I'm I'm close enough to the very heart 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:54.480 of things that I have a particular, a true perspective 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:57.119 and view on exactly what's going on in the busiest 0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.480 part of the whole city. But I'll get back that first. 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.640 Let me just say that this exchange yet with Yami 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:05.760 Yai or Yamish, I'm not trying to be funny. I 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.320 actually forget how to pronounce her name. I think it's 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.920 I think it's Yamish. So she's a journalist and her 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:18.080 name was trending on Twitter. It's y am I. So 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:20.879 I'm not trying to again, not making jokes here, I 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:24.000 just don't know how to pronounce her name. But she 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:26.040 got into this exchange with the president, and you had 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:29.520 all these people who were saying journalists out there who 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:32.040 while I'm sitting here wondering, and you know, I talked 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:34.320 to a doctor this morning. I'm talking to you, doctor, 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.160 friends of mine, as often as I can to get 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:39.239 as much information as I can, because this isn't my area. Mean, 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.040 after nine eleven, I went off the CIA, and really 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:46.320 our main, our main national security threat, our effort was 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:51.080 against radical radical Islamic terrorism around the world. We had 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:54.080 two wars with this and this became an area that 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:56.159 I knew. I had expertise. I knew how much we 0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:58.439 had to worry about different terrorist groups, and I had 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:00.680 an understanding that other people didn't. And I also knew 0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:04.000 what information the US can I was just I was 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:06.400 a worker b but I knew what information the top 0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:09.000 people in the US government were making their determinations off 0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:13.159 of because I was seeing it too with this with coronavirus. Uh. 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:16.239 You know, this is not an area where I can 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:18.320 tell you anything other than I'm just researching and learning 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:20.199 as fast as I can, as furiously as I can, 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:23.439 every single day, and I'm trying to bring you the 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:27.240 most valuable information with some context that I can, and 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:31.640 also doing making my best efforts to be Look, I'm 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:33.719 never going to be at not political. It's just not 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:35.919 who I am when it comes to the way I 0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:39.399 view things. I'm honest with you about my sense of 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:44.480 reality and life and politics and everything else. But I'm 0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:46.560 trying to make this really about defeating the virus as 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:50.040 much as I can, and less about the nasty and 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:53.080 often pointless back and forth with the left and the right. 0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:56.680 But the way that journalists who have the opportunity to 0:22:56.720 --> 0:22:58.920 go directly to the source and ask the president during 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:02.800 these press conferences, the way that they go after him 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:07.280 day after day, what do they really think they are 0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:10.840 doing here that is worthwhile? And how can they be 0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:17.320 so petty and so immature and irresponsible that they think 0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:19.159 that this is a good way to spend their time. 0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:26.760 You know, this Yamish talking to the president. You know, 0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:29.760 yesterday they I stand with Yamish or there was some 0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:32.520 kind of a hashtag about how as if this is 0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:35.400 an important thing that was going on. Look, I think 0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:39.080 the president, Yeah, should he lose his temper with journalists? 0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:42.280 I mean and under other circumstances, probably not, because I 0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:45.679 didn't really think the president is able to get a 0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:48.880 moment's peace right now. It doesn't even think that he's 0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:51.520 a human being who also is tired, who's worried about 0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:53.720 family members, who's worried about his own health. The Prime 0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:58.160 Minister of the UK has COVID nineteen. Now, we we 0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:00.920 haven't yet seen any evidence that no matter, you could 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:06.240 probably have the best medical care into the world right now, 0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:09.919 and there's no evidence to prove that if your immune system, 0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:12.920 because of age or other reasons, is not up for 0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:15.119 the fight, there's not that much they can do for you. 0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:19.720 So everybody's worried. Everybody's worried. People particularly in the high 0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:24.520 risk category, are worried about this. But instead of just 0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:27.639 focusing in on getting people the information that we all 0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:30.239 want to have right now, that we all know we 0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:32.520 need to have so that we can better take care 0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:37.360 of each other and of ourselves, journalists want to play games, 0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:39.680 and they're all doing this thing where they're saying that 0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:44.840 that this is necessary because Trumps has boxed this response 0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:47.280 so badly. This is going to turn into a huge 0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:50.159 vicious political back and forth, especially because we have an 0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:54.040 election in the fall, as you know, and we may 0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:56.640 end up having something more like The New York Times 0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:58.040 what a piece in this today. I've been thinking it 0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:01.480 for a while in Britain for the Prime Minister that 0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:04.399 they have a six week condensed election schedule. We're going 0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:06.919 to have a condensed election schedule because you can't do 0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:09.280 the rallies. You can't do and it's in that sense 0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:12.920 it's really not a fair you know, if Russia interfered 0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:15.359 in the last election, the virus is going to have 0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:17.760 interfered in this election. There's no question about it. We're 0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:21.320 not going to have a normal I'm talking about process wise, 0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:23.560 never mind just current events. We're not going to have 0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:27.240 a normal process. I think that's clear at this point. 0:25:27.240 --> 0:25:28.800 And there's going to be a lot of calls and 0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:31.560 a lot of information, a lot of effort to try 0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:38.080 to make this even more easy, and probably people are 0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:40.920 going to want to do mail in ballots, vote online. Anyway, 0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:42.440 I'm getting it a little ahead of myself with that. 0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:44.760 Trump is trying to get the media to be a 0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:47.000 little bit more positive, a little bit less nasty, because 0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:49.560 people are scared right now, and fear leads to bad decisions. 0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:51.080 I mean, I'll tell you this. A week ago, I 0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:53.600 was thinking about how if we keep doing this, we're 0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:57.520 heading for a great depression. Now the administration is saying, Okay, 0:25:57.600 --> 0:25:59.280 I don't think we're going to hit a great depression. 0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:02.840 We've got this covered for a while. Do I believe them? 0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:05.439 Not really? But am I willing to at least now 0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:09.240 say Okay, they're making the calls. I've made, I've made 0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:11.440 my case, I've made my piece. You know, the liberal 0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:14.800 journalists out there who view this all through a political 0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:18.080 lens and can't even can't tone it down, can't tone 0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:23.120 it down even a little bit. I think that they honestly, 0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:25.520 they're they've kind of lost it. They've lost it for 0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:28.080 a long time when it comes to covering this president 0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.280 and when it comes to what we see here with 0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:33.560 the way that they'll ask them questions in public, and 0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:35.520 then they'll talk about how they're on the front lines 0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:38.919 of covering this Oh, there are journalists who are taking risks, 0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:42.040 all right, I really need to not hear that right now, 0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:45.280 because we have medical staff taking risks all across the country. 0:26:45.640 --> 0:26:51.720 You have pediatricians who have to take COVID nineteen precautions 0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:53.520 for every patient I'm not even talking about in hospitals, 0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:57.400 just in practice anywhere, for every patient they see, knowing 0:26:57.520 --> 0:27:01.000 that they may be exposed to not just the kid, 0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:05.120 but also the parents coming in. Infection. Viral load matters, 0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:07.600 the degree of the virus that you are exposed to, 0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:11.439 from what I understand from an immunological standpoint, matters, and 0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:13.760 people on the front lines are taking in that sense, 0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:16.919 the most risk, the healthcare providers, but also people that 0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:19.320 are working in grocery stores and the people that are 0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:23.320 out there are those in the logistics realm who are 0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:25.639 keeping all this stuff going and I really, you know, 0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:27.600 I thank one of the guys who make sure that 0:27:27.640 --> 0:27:29.440 the you know, the heat and the electricity is on 0:27:29.560 --> 0:27:31.760 my building. Today I saw him in my lobby here 0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:33.120 in New York, and I said, I just want to say, man, 0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:34.960 thank you for coming to work. And he kind of 0:27:35.000 --> 0:27:37.240 nodded his head a little bit and he appreciated it. 0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:41.800 But I could also tell he's worried. He's worried, and 0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:45.720 every time I go outside my home and go walk 0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:47.639 around the streets, I'll tell you what that looks like. 0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:50.280 But I have a very different so you have to 0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:54.760 excuse me if I sound a little bit more concern 0:27:54.800 --> 0:27:57.040 today than I ever have one. I think the numbers 0:27:57.080 --> 0:27:59.600 justify the escalating concern. So there's that just from a 0:27:59.680 --> 0:28:05.840 data perspective, but also there's I'm seeing it now. I 0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:07.800 see what's going on, and I've talked to people who 0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:11.320 are also having firsthand experience with this, and I'm in 0:28:11.320 --> 0:28:14.040 the worst place. I'm in the worst place. So think 0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:15.720 of it as though I'm doing a radio show for 0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:19.440 you now, and it's like my city is being hit 0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:22.200 with a hurricane and we're still in the middle of 0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:26.560 the hurricane, and there's a really serious consideration that this 0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:28.399 hurricane is going to hit a lot of other cities 0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:30.760 right after it hits this one. If you, if you 0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:33.679 put my comments today, I think into that context. Now 0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:36.000 a lot of you are Look if you're in rural 0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:38.920 Iowa or you know, or you're in you know, like 0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:41.479 I said, West Texas, or you're in you know, Utah 0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:45.640 outside of Salt Lake City, somewhere, you're outside of Portland, 0:28:45.880 --> 0:28:49.680 you know, maybe an hour's drive. Yeah, you're probably going 0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:53.120 to be fine in terms of your exposure to the virus, 0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:56.120 or I should say, it's unlikely that you'll come into 0:28:56.280 --> 0:28:58.960 a lot of people who have infected have been infected 0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:01.880 with this virus. But if you live in a city, 0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:04.920 I mean New Orleans, is it just breaks my heart. 0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:08.080 I love New Orleans. It's just a it's a magical 0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:11.640 and I mean there's just something so special and so 0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:13.880 cool about it in so many ways. New Orleans is 0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:16.840 getting hit really badly right now. Miami, another place I 0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:20.160 love to visit, getting hit really badly. You know other 0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:22.040 cities that I you know, I just I can't even 0:29:22.120 --> 0:29:25.320 name them off top of my head. Detroit's in bad shape. 0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:28.680 It's gonna get worse. So it's gonna happen elsewhere too, 0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:31.880 and understand that the government is making decisions based upon 0:29:31.920 --> 0:29:35.400 what they're seeing happening in these cities. Right now, I 0:29:36.320 --> 0:29:39.360 just like to see there's an opportunity here, and I'm 0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:42.200 going to try to be self assessing as I go 0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:44.080 through this. I mean, I've told you that this virus 0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:46.160 it's worse than I thought I was bad a month ago. 0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:48.800 It's worse than I thought it would be. It's worse 0:29:48.800 --> 0:29:51.440 than I thought I would be. I'm gonna try to 0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:54.640 self assess as I go through this, because I'm just 0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:56.720 coming to this like all of you, as somebody who 0:29:57.440 --> 0:30:01.080 approaches it with an eye to up as much information 0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:03.120 as possible, learning as much as I can, making the 0:30:03.160 --> 0:30:06.120 best decisions I can, and pushing for the smartest policy 0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:09.280 for the most people. There are no perfect answers here. 0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:12.520 There's no perfect policy. You're going to see, for example, 0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:16.520 that those who were saying just send everybody home, shut 0:30:16.520 --> 0:30:19.600 down the school, send everybody home. There was a spike 0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:22.360 in infections. I can almost guarantee you the data will 0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:24.680 prove this. They've seen it elsewhere. They have, from what 0:30:24.800 --> 0:30:27.280 I understand right now, already shown this to be the 0:30:27.280 --> 0:30:30.520 case in some parts of northern Italy. Sending the young 0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:36.200 people home to quarantine with older relatives was an enormous miscalculation, 0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:41.520 an enormous mistake that is likely to be one that 0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:44.160 we revisit. So, you know, people are making good faith 0:30:44.280 --> 0:30:49.440 errors here and trying to calculate what are sound policies 0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:53.080 that mitigate risk properly versus what allows us to have 0:30:53.120 --> 0:30:56.480 an economy so that we still have doctors getting paid 0:30:55.800 --> 0:31:00.239 and assembly lines making masks in this country, along with 0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:02.800 keeping food on the shelves and preventing there from being riots. 0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:05.800 And you know, there's a lot of moving pieces here. 0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:08.880 And I just also appreciate so much that all of 0:31:08.880 --> 0:31:10.880 you are joining me still every day. And I mean, 0:31:10.920 --> 0:31:13.200 we can tell that this audience is still tuning in 0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:15.680 stn't want to know what's going on. I think a 0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:18.800 lot of what you're seeing, unfortunately on cable news is 0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:22.400 just filler at this point, a lot of repetition. You know, 0:31:22.440 --> 0:31:25.120 they're interviewing the same people. I don't know why everyone 0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:28.120 wants to interview someone who's already been in a press 0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:32.360 conference for two hours asking questions. I think that that's 0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:34.880 at some point that just becomes repetitive, and I think 0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:38.600 the information value of that is less than some seem 0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:43.920 to think it is. But nonetheless it's it's it's troubling 0:31:43.960 --> 0:31:47.440 for me to see what's going on here, and also 0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:50.120 the lack of a willingness to put aside the partisan 0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:53.600 hatchet just for a moment. Well, this country, at least 0:31:53.640 --> 0:31:56.280 this city. I mean, I can't speak to how bad 0:31:56.320 --> 0:31:58.720 will be in the rest of the country. This city 0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:00.680 and other cities, though, are going to get it really hard. 0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:03.560 We're already gained it really Audio. You're in the Freedom 0:32:03.640 --> 0:32:10.600 hud This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. You know, 0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:13.880 your campaign put out you're a critique of President Trump 0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:15.640 and says if he doesn't do these things you know 0:32:15.720 --> 0:32:18.560 he could, he could cost lives. Do you think there's 0:32:18.560 --> 0:32:20.800 already Do you think there is blood on the President's 0:32:20.840 --> 0:32:23.840 hands considering the slow response or is that to two 0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:27.200 hearts of a criticism. I think that's a little too harsh. 0:32:27.240 --> 0:32:30.440 I think what's happening is that failure too. As I 0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:34.680 watched a tree limb to your show where someone said 0:32:34.720 --> 0:32:39.560 that made use the phrase that the president just thinks 0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:42.840 out loud. He should stop thinking out loud. And start 0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:46.320 thinking deeply. He should start listening to the scientists before 0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:49.040 he speaks. He should listen to the health experts. I 0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:51.640 get really tired of this talking point that the president 0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:54.440 should listen to the health experts. The health experts are 0:32:54.440 --> 0:32:57.720 with him and speaking directly the American people every day, 0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:00.000 and he just made a massive decision that some people 0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:02.080 may look back on. I know, right now, it's okay, 0:33:02.280 --> 0:33:04.640 the virus is really bad in some places in the country. 0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:06.640 It's going to get worse in other places. Let's shut 0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:09.480 down for the entire month of April. Let's hope that 0:33:09.520 --> 0:33:12.640 the response from the administration to deal with the economy 0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:18.040 is sufficient. There is the chance that we will look 0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:22.360 back at this decision to shut down well beyond easter, 0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:27.000 to go weeks beyond easter, and recognize that economically it 0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:29.400 was disastrous in a way that you know, we'll see, 0:33:29.840 --> 0:33:34.040 We'll see. I'm hoping that's that's not the case. You know, 0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:36.280 all along, I've been wondering, why is not more of 0:33:36.320 --> 0:33:40.560 the focus on protecting vulnerable populations and just doing social mitigation, 0:33:40.640 --> 0:33:44.480 but allowing people to do more work or to do 0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:46.480 more of their jobs. But I suppose for things like 0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:50.600 restaurants and other businesses. Congregating in numbers is an essential 0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:53.400 part of the business, so you can't really change that. 0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:55.800 It's a very complicated problem. And people that are going 0:33:55.800 --> 0:33:59.760 around dunking on one another because someone's wrong on this 0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:03.320 on You know, I can guarantee this, President Trump, everyone 0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:06.720 who works in the White House right now. You know, 0:34:06.760 --> 0:34:08.680 the people that are dealing with this problem day in 0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:11.279 and day out, if they could wave a wand and 0:34:11.360 --> 0:34:14.440 save every single life from today forward, they would do it. 0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:18.560 We all know that everyone wants maximum life saved. Everybody 0:34:18.600 --> 0:34:24.560 wants everyone's mom, dad, brother, sister, grandma, grandpa, wife, husband, son, daughter, 0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:27.000 you name it, right, we all want all of them 0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:29.239 to come through this. But we also are operating in 0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:32.560 the reality of we are in a war with a virus, 0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:35.720 and right now the virus is taking a heavy toll 0:34:35.880 --> 0:34:39.759 on us with casualties a lot. And remember the casualties 0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:41.719 is wounded as well as killed a lot. Of the 0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:45.520 people right now who are being intubated and going through 0:34:45.560 --> 0:34:49.120 this process, you know, they're suffering very badly even if 0:34:49.120 --> 0:34:51.399 they come through this on the other side. And that's 0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:53.440 why when Chuck Todd says something and this is the 0:34:53.719 --> 0:34:58.000 start of this of this little conversation we're having this segment. 0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:00.880 Do you think there's blood on the president hands? Considering 0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:05.439 the slow response? I mean, Chuck Tod is honestly, he's 0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:10.160 so indicative of the elite media and someone who I 0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:12.839 don't know, it's just all smoke in mirrorsm The guy 0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:16.400 isn't very bright, doesn't seem ethical in the least in 0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:20.080 the way that he covers the news is smarmie, is 0:35:20.120 --> 0:35:22.759 a little bit of a cry baby. And yeah, he's 0:35:22.800 --> 0:35:24.799 offered up by NBC as someone that you should all 0:35:24.840 --> 0:35:28.880 listen to. I don't know why you wouldn't want Chuck Todd. 0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:32.640 You know you wouldn't want Chuck Todd to have your 0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:35.040 back in any situation. This guy just doesn't strike me 0:35:35.080 --> 0:35:38.600 as somebody of any real character or backbone asking that 0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:40.560 the president has blood on his hands. He really you're 0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:44.279 going to hold the president responsible for this? Is the 0:35:44.320 --> 0:35:46.719 president responsible for what's going on in the rest of 0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:48.719 the world too, because there are a lot of every 0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:52.000 major country right now is either about to or getting 0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:56.160 crushed by this virus.

The 0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:07.520 Treasury Department an SBA has been working around the clock. 0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:11.560 We will have a program up and running on Friday 0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:16.560 where not only the existing SBA lenders, but FDIC banks, 0:36:16.960 --> 0:36:20.760 credit unions, fintech lenders will be able to make loans. 0:36:20.760 --> 0:36:25.480 Those loans will cover eight weeks of workers salary plus 0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:29.319 additional money for overhead. If you let your workers go, 0:36:29.560 --> 0:36:32.279 you bring back your workers. For every worker you have, 0:36:33.000 --> 0:36:36.239 that portion of the loan is forgiven. So I encourage 0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:40.080 all small distances that's about half of the US private payroll, 0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:43.719 go back and hire your workers because the government is 0:36:43.760 --> 0:36:46.719 paying you to do that. This is an ambitious plan 0:36:47.719 --> 0:36:50.279 and it's the kind of thinking that is needed right now. 0:36:50.880 --> 0:36:54.760 Manuchin is smart. He is a kind of Goldman Sachs 0:36:54.800 --> 0:36:58.200 Wall Street insidery guy. But he's a smart dude. And 0:36:58.320 --> 0:37:01.240 what are you saying here is, look, we are going 0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:03.840 to pay we the federal government are going to cover 0:37:04.080 --> 0:37:08.520 your payroll. So make sure that you're paying people because 0:37:08.600 --> 0:37:11.080 it's free money for you to pay them. Keep your 0:37:11.120 --> 0:37:16.960 employees on the payroll. Maybe this works, Maybe this works. 0:37:19.120 --> 0:37:23.680 Who knows, really, who knows what the long term implications 0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:26.359 will be. You know, there are two ways that this 0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:30.640 goes badly as far as I can see it. Well, actually, 0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:32.160 you know, there are three ways. One is that it's 0:37:32.239 --> 0:37:34.839 and the most likely I think is that it's just insufficient. 0:37:35.440 --> 0:37:38.160 There's all kinds of problems with the actual dispersal of 0:37:38.200 --> 0:37:40.560 the funds. The funds are not enough for different businesses. 0:37:41.520 --> 0:37:44.440 That's all part of this. Okay, that's one problem. A 0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:49.520 second problem we lead into, and this leads us into 0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:53.800 I should say, a depression or a recession, one or 0:37:53.840 --> 0:37:56.680 the other. That's a very real consideration. And then we 0:37:56.719 --> 0:37:58.439 have to deal with that on top of everything else, 0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:02.120 and the virus that keeps coming back even though we're 0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:04.640 in the midst of this, that's a possibility. And then 0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:09.359 there's another situation, and that is that we create too 0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:14.600 much a stress, a systemic stress on our financial system, 0:38:14.680 --> 0:38:19.320 so that this stimulus plan, this rescue package becomes essentially 0:38:19.400 --> 0:38:21.759 what people have been warning about for decades, which is, 0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:24.120 you know, once we get up words of thirty trillion 0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:25.960 dollars of debt or whatever it is going to be 0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:27.840 when this is all over, I mean it's two trillion 0:38:27.920 --> 0:38:30.320 right now at it on plus the trillion dollars deface 0:38:30.360 --> 0:38:31.839 that I think we're already going to run this year, 0:38:31.840 --> 0:38:33.799 So that's three trillion. We're gonna be a twenty five 0:38:33.840 --> 0:38:35.840 trillion the blink of an eye, and if we do 0:38:35.880 --> 0:38:37.759 another package, it's going to be another two or three 0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:40.960 trillion problemly on top of that. So we're looking at 0:38:41.160 --> 0:38:46.000 mid twenties trillion dollars of debt. What happens if then 0:38:46.160 --> 0:38:50.120 that leads to a collapse, a collapse of the financial system, 0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:53.560 the dollar, hyperinflation. I mean, all these really scary scenarios. 0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:56.759 Those are the problems. Is that going to happen? I 0:38:56.760 --> 0:39:00.560 don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Anybody can 0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:03.200 really tell you this. I Mean, one thing I'm quite 0:39:03.200 --> 0:39:07.680 certain of is that economists are bad at predictions, about 0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:10.160 as bad as most cable news anchors have been at 0:39:10.239 --> 0:39:13.360 being ahead of this situation and understanding what the implications 0:39:13.360 --> 0:39:19.360 of it really are. But the possibility of financial systemic 0:39:19.719 --> 0:39:23.120 systemic financial collapse, it's just being pushed aside right now. 0:39:23.200 --> 0:39:25.920 We're just taking this Everything that can be done for 0:39:25.960 --> 0:39:29.839 the virus, to suppress the virus at the expense of 0:39:30.360 --> 0:39:32.920 maximum expensive the economy. This is the approach the administration 0:39:32.960 --> 0:39:37.080 has decided to take. And I mean, they have access 0:39:37.080 --> 0:39:39.560 to better information than I do. They have experts, which 0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:41.480 I am not, and in fact, they have thousands of them, 0:39:42.239 --> 0:39:46.520 and this is what they're going to do. I'm concerned. 0:39:46.600 --> 0:39:50.279 But what are we really supposed to do under the circumstances, 0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:51.960 and what are we the American people, going to do. 0:39:52.320 --> 0:39:54.160 I mean, they're telling us that if we just went 0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:57.560 back to life as normal across the country, this will 0:39:57.640 --> 0:39:59.880 kill hundreds of thousands of people. And the number that 0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:02.560 doctor Fauci said is that it could easily kill or 0:40:02.600 --> 0:40:06.600 I should say, the models clearly show upwards of one 0:40:06.680 --> 0:40:09.359 hundred to two hundred thousand people dead from this if 0:40:09.400 --> 0:40:12.799 we went back to life as normal. Now I'm not 0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:15.920 advocating I've never advocated going back to life as normal 0:40:16.000 --> 0:40:19.960 right away. That is not a real position that anyone's had. 0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:25.840 But even standard or I should say, even escalating and 0:40:25.880 --> 0:40:30.520 de escalating measures for a containment that are on a 0:40:30.600 --> 0:40:33.720 dynamic basis changed to meet the circumstances of the moment, 0:40:34.120 --> 0:40:37.080 that's right now off the table too. It's just going 0:40:37.160 --> 0:40:39.480 to be everything you can do wherever this virus exists 0:40:39.480 --> 0:40:41.920 to shut this thing down and we'll deal with the 0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:45.440 economic fallout later. That is really I just want us 0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:47.239 all to be very clear that there was a discussion. 0:40:47.600 --> 0:40:52.320 You know, obviously the administration was thinking that by April eleventh, 0:40:52.360 --> 0:40:55.960 by easter, maybe we could start to lessen this up. 0:40:56.640 --> 0:41:00.560 So that was going to be balancing things toward protecting 0:41:00.560 --> 0:41:02.759 the economy a bit and taking a little bit more 0:41:02.840 --> 0:41:05.000 risk from the virus. That's what that means. People can say, oh, 0:41:05.320 --> 0:41:07.480 that's what it means. Okay, we're gon we're gonna talk 0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:09.120 like adults here, that's what that would be. I mean, 0:41:09.200 --> 0:41:11.000 the moment that you and found she has said as 0:41:11.040 --> 0:41:15.840 much himself, the moment that you de escalate, the moment 0:41:15.880 --> 0:41:19.080 that you drop down some of your protective measures, you're 0:41:19.120 --> 0:41:22.320 just more more at risk from this. And that seemed 0:41:22.360 --> 0:41:23.919 like it was something that might happen in a matter 0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:26.040 of weeks, and now they're saying no, April. April is 0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:30.759 lockdown month across the country, so and the economy is 0:41:30.760 --> 0:41:34.879 something we'll deal with later. I really hope that they 0:41:35.200 --> 0:41:39.879 know what they're doing, because if you know, the same 0:41:39.920 --> 0:41:42.239 way that we didn't see this virus, no one really 0:41:42.239 --> 0:41:44.520 saw the virus coming I've said you before, the pandemic 0:41:44.640 --> 0:41:46.719 is a big thread, and you know, then then the 0:41:46.800 --> 0:41:50.279 question turns into or before we're at this moment, well, 0:41:50.400 --> 0:41:52.439 was this the pandemic virus or not? You know, we've 0:41:52.440 --> 0:41:54.960 had SARS, we've had mirrors, we've had h one M, 0:41:55.000 --> 0:41:58.759 when we've had these other similar incidents that were serious 0:41:58.800 --> 0:42:02.719 but then felt a bit like not false alarms, but 0:42:03.000 --> 0:42:06.840 perhaps exaggerated states of alarm based on what the final 0:42:07.440 --> 0:42:11.160 reality of those viruses were. Are we going to look 0:42:11.200 --> 0:42:12.640 back at this moment and this is the question that 0:42:12.680 --> 0:42:14.040 I posed to you, and I do not pretend to 0:42:14.080 --> 0:42:16.279 have an answer. Are we going to look back at 0:42:16.280 --> 0:42:20.120 this moment where we said everything against the virus doesn't 0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:22.239 matter what the economy looks like right now or what 0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:23.960 it's going to do to it. And do you think 0:42:24.000 --> 0:42:26.480 there's a chance that we'll be saying at some point 0:42:26.520 --> 0:42:29.760 in the future, how could we have missed it's so obvious? 0:42:29.760 --> 0:42:31.040 How could we have missed that this was going to 0:42:31.120 --> 0:42:33.720 lead us in due depression? I'm not making that prediction. 0:42:33.800 --> 0:42:36.960 I don't know, but I do worry. I'm just I'm 0:42:37.040 --> 0:42:39.399 raising this as a question. I worry that that's what 0:42:39.440 --> 0:42:44.400 we're gonna be thinking in six or twelve months. And 0:42:44.480 --> 0:42:45.680 it's not going to happen in a couple of weeks, 0:42:45.719 --> 0:42:47.120 but six or twelve months from now, we're going to 0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:53.719 say we went too far toward virus suppression measures and 0:42:53.880 --> 0:42:57.120 didn't keep in mind what the damage to the economy 0:42:57.120 --> 0:42:58.920 would be, what the damage would be to people's lives, 0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:01.000 the ability to fight the virus, all the things that 0:43:01.040 --> 0:43:03.080 Trump in the administration we're talking about last week that 0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:05.879 seemed to now have been not abandoned, but just put 0:43:05.880 --> 0:43:08.160 on hold until we can find something else, figure something 0:43:08.160 --> 0:43:10.959 else out. So, my friends, we will have to see. 0:43:11.280 --> 0:43:14.160 We'll just have to see. I don't have I have 0:43:14.280 --> 0:43:16.600 Manuchin telling you that this is going to work out great, 0:43:16.600 --> 0:43:18.120 which is really what he has to say. I mean, 0:43:18.160 --> 0:43:19.919 he's been very involved in coming up with a play 0:43:19.920 --> 0:43:23.160 clip twelve. I think this program is going to be 0:43:23.360 --> 0:43:29.239 enormously successful and stabilizing the US economy while hardworking Americans 0:43:29.400 --> 0:43:33.000 who lost their jobs or aren't able to work because 0:43:33.000 --> 0:43:35.600 of the medical situation that they get help. So this 0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:38.200 money is going to go into the economy very quickly. 0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:41.960 It is going to help American workers very very quickly. 0:43:42.320 --> 0:43:44.600 And I don't know how long it's going to take 0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:46.640 to kill this virus. I do know we will kill 0:43:46.640 --> 0:43:50.000 this virus. And when we do, I have great confidence 0:43:50.000 --> 0:43:53.560 that the US economy will become roaring back. This is 0:43:53.719 --> 0:43:57.480 what their assessment currently, This is where the assessment currently stands. 0:43:57.800 --> 0:44:01.200 We can put the economy on hold. We can just 0:44:01.280 --> 0:44:05.680 hit the pause button, maximum measures to contain and suppress 0:44:05.760 --> 0:44:08.400 the virus, hit the pause button on the economy, and 0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:11.080 then when we decide to press the start button again, 0:44:11.760 --> 0:44:13.760 we'll be all right. And actually we'll have a huge 0:44:13.840 --> 0:44:16.799 ramp up and things will be good. Man, that would 0:44:16.840 --> 0:44:19.759 be great. And it's a really comforting story at some 0:44:19.880 --> 0:44:22.160 level to hear now, especially for those of us who 0:44:22.200 --> 0:44:25.279 are sitting here saying what happens if we had to 0:44:25.360 --> 0:44:28.440 do great depression? What does that do to this country? 0:44:28.440 --> 0:44:30.839 And you know, then you also get into the analysis then, 0:44:30.840 --> 0:44:32.840 and this is what people right now who view this 0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:35.200 through a partisan lens. I'm trying to view this through 0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:38.160 an America lens. I really am every day and I 0:44:38.239 --> 0:44:40.799 mean that, I know that can almost sound like some 0:44:40.880 --> 0:44:43.600 kind of cliche, but I really am thinking what's best 0:44:43.680 --> 0:44:48.359 for this country right now. Because there's also the chance 0:44:48.360 --> 0:44:49.640 that we look back at this. I'll be talking to 0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:52.359 you more about China today on the show that we 0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:54.440 look at this moment in time and say, this is 0:44:54.480 --> 0:44:57.959 when China became the pre eminent hedge them on around 0:44:57.960 --> 0:45:00.839 the world. What does that mean if that happened? What 0:45:00.840 --> 0:45:03.880 would the Chinese Communist Party with, you know, running a 0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:07.799 country of over a billion people with nuclear weapons and 0:45:07.920 --> 0:45:10.680 certainly some level of biological weapons program. I'm not saying 0:45:10.680 --> 0:45:12.400 this is a part of that, but what would it 0:45:12.400 --> 0:45:15.040 mean if all of a sudden that entity is the 0:45:15.080 --> 0:45:18.600 single most powerful, single most powerful government in the world. 0:45:19.080 --> 0:45:22.040 How many millions, how many billions of people will suffer 0:45:22.400 --> 0:45:24.640 lose their life, perhaps in wars. I mean, you know, 0:45:24.880 --> 0:45:28.480 there's so much that goes into these calculations when you're 0:45:28.480 --> 0:45:33.080 talking about the future of the United States that right 0:45:33.120 --> 0:45:38.000 now I think that we are I understand everyone's everyone's scared, 0:45:38.000 --> 0:45:39.799 and I'm in the middle of the scariest place. I mean, 0:45:39.800 --> 0:45:41.479 those of you that are listening to show, I could 0:45:41.480 --> 0:45:43.879 walk out my doors and I'll tell you what it's 0:45:43.920 --> 0:45:45.400 like in New York a little bit. But this is 0:45:45.800 --> 0:45:48.080 there is nowhere in America right now that is more 0:45:48.520 --> 0:45:50.840 on edge about this virus than where I am sitting 0:45:50.920 --> 0:45:55.920 right now. I mean, this city is ground zero. But 0:45:56.040 --> 0:46:02.080 I'm saying that the voices of of understandable concern, but 0:46:02.160 --> 0:46:04.600 even some that are that are really now edging on panic, 0:46:04.640 --> 0:46:07.239 they seem to have won out. And now we're just 0:46:07.640 --> 0:46:12.600 we're doing a lockdown, and we're listening to experts whose job, 0:46:12.680 --> 0:46:16.040 understandably is just to limit limit to the greatest possible degree, 0:46:16.040 --> 0:46:19.719 any spread of this virus. And now we're being told 0:46:19.800 --> 0:46:22.719 essentially that there is nothing, there is no other balancing 0:46:22.760 --> 0:46:26.120 factor here. That we're doing every absolutely everything we can 0:46:26.200 --> 0:46:28.880 up to and including shutting down the economy for another 0:46:28.920 --> 0:46:32.399 thirty days. I really, I really hope that they're right. 0:46:32.600 --> 0:46:34.640 I'm not in a position to say that they're wrong 0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:37.719 because I don't know what's going to happen. Honestly, they 0:46:38.080 --> 0:46:39.480 don't know what's going to happen. But I don't have 0:46:39.600 --> 0:46:43.200 expertise in epidemiology and viral pandemics and all these other things. 0:46:43.800 --> 0:46:46.359 I do know that government and competence is everywhere, and 0:46:46.440 --> 0:46:48.960 that the government. You know, there's a part of me 0:46:49.000 --> 0:46:52.320 that is angry about Okay, the CDC makes or not 0:46:52.440 --> 0:46:54.640 makes part of me. The CDC has about a seven 0:46:54.840 --> 0:46:58.200 six seven billion dollars year budget over ten thousand employees. 0:46:59.000 --> 0:47:02.279 What have they been doing time? This is this is 0:47:02.320 --> 0:47:06.360 the equivalent of the big invasion that everybody knew was 0:47:06.400 --> 0:47:08.520 coming by some foreign country, and it would be like 0:47:08.560 --> 0:47:12.080 the Pentagon sit around saying, yeah, you know, just you know, 0:47:12.200 --> 0:47:13.880 try to arm yourself and see if you can help 0:47:13.960 --> 0:47:18.120 us fight this thing off. What really, the best the 0:47:18.160 --> 0:47:20.239 CDC can do is to put out a test that's 0:47:20.320 --> 0:47:24.040 faulty at the absolute critical moment and then tell us basically, 0:47:24.040 --> 0:47:25.480 go to wash our hands, stay away from each other, 0:47:25.520 --> 0:47:28.080 shut down the economy, and don't go outside. And that's 0:47:28.080 --> 0:47:30.759 really what they're telling us. You know that they don't 0:47:30.800 --> 0:47:34.040 really know how how much this disease is aerosoli has 0:47:34.080 --> 0:47:38.640 spread through Aerosoli's droplets versus contact on surfaces and people 0:47:38.640 --> 0:47:40.760 then just you know, putting their fingers in their mouth 0:47:40.840 --> 0:47:43.560 or their eyes. They don't know. They don't know if 0:47:43.560 --> 0:47:45.680 you can get reinfected. There's some report out of China 0:47:45.719 --> 0:47:48.240 that says you might be able to get some percentage 0:47:48.280 --> 0:47:50.360 of people might be able to be reinfected with this afterwards, 0:47:50.400 --> 0:47:52.680 which would be really distressing because usually virus you have 0:47:52.719 --> 0:47:54.560 immunity at least for a long period of time after 0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:56.719 you get it. There's so much about this that they 0:47:56.719 --> 0:47:58.600 don't really know. And I do want to ask the question, 0:47:58.760 --> 0:48:02.080 what is exactly the c D what have they been 0:48:02.080 --> 0:48:04.759 doing all this time? And the National Institutes of Health? 0:48:04.800 --> 0:48:07.640 You know what are they because I know that they've 0:48:07.680 --> 0:48:09.759 done things like to help They've had campaigns to tell 0:48:09.800 --> 0:48:11.960 people to have their kids like eat more vegetables, and 0:48:12.120 --> 0:48:14.319 they want to study gun violence and things like that. 0:48:15.080 --> 0:48:18.760 I know that that has happened. And it just feels 0:48:18.800 --> 0:48:23.799 like there wasn't really a playbook for this to be 0:48:23.920 --> 0:48:27.120 run by you, by the CDC, by the NH, and 0:48:27.160 --> 0:48:29.120 we've been making it up as we go along, and 0:48:29.200 --> 0:48:31.279 you do want to ask what were they doing all 0:48:31.280 --> 0:48:33.960 this time? And really now we're turning. I mean that 0:48:34.000 --> 0:48:37.759 the likeliest scenario would be if one of the I 0:48:37.760 --> 0:48:42.000 shouldn't say likely, it's the likeliest home run scenario for 0:48:42.200 --> 0:48:44.200 us and for humanity would be if one of these 0:48:45.160 --> 0:48:48.080 one of these big pharmaceutical companies comes up with an 0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:51.919 excellent treatment for this. I keep seeing this anecdotal data 0:48:51.960 --> 0:48:56.600 about a zithromycin and chloroquin or hydroxy chloroquin not to 0:48:56.640 --> 0:49:00.319 be confused with the fish tank cleaner chloroquine phosphate. That's 0:49:00.360 --> 0:49:04.120 a no no. I see anecdotal stuff about this, but 0:49:04.280 --> 0:49:06.440 until we have some real clear studies on it for 0:49:06.480 --> 0:49:09.839 a few weeks, we're just not going to know. We're 0:49:09.840 --> 0:49:11.719 going to continue to be in what feels like a 0:49:12.360 --> 0:49:17.600 bit of a guessing game on this. So, my friends, 0:49:18.000 --> 0:49:21.880 the economy is just being We're trying an experiment now 0:49:21.880 --> 0:49:23.800 with the economy that has never been done before. I 0:49:23.800 --> 0:49:25.680 don't know this has ever been done before in human history. 0:49:26.680 --> 0:49:30.040 I just don't know if there's any any analogous situation 0:49:30.120 --> 0:49:32.480 to this. And the people in charge are telling us, 0:49:33.080 --> 0:49:36.239 don't worry, We've got this. Okay, this is the way 0:49:36.239 --> 0:49:39.319 it's going to be. I'm going to try to go 0:49:39.440 --> 0:49:43.279 forward in good faith and listen to the experts on this. 0:49:43.880 --> 0:49:45.759 But I also know that a lot of things we've 0:49:45.760 --> 0:49:48.239 been told about systemic economic risk are only getting worse 0:49:48.400 --> 0:49:51.560 right now. I mean, I mean, like catastrophe, like the 0:49:51.600 --> 0:49:54.080 economy just implodes, like dollars all of a sudden aren't 0:49:54.080 --> 0:49:56.560 worth anything. I mean, that's that's kind of what we 0:49:57.000 --> 0:49:59.200 think of as the worst possible scenario for the economy. 0:49:59.200 --> 0:50:02.440 Which would just all of this country effectively. I'm going 0:50:02.480 --> 0:50:04.359 to hope that that's not going to happen at any point, 0:50:04.400 --> 0:50:06.839 and we're gonna be okay, And I'm gonna try to 0:50:06.880 --> 0:50:09.359 just downplay in my mind that the experts that we're 0:50:09.360 --> 0:50:11.960 always being told to listen to have been wrong and 0:50:12.000 --> 0:50:14.120 a lot of this stuff, and our leaders have certainly 0:50:14.120 --> 0:50:16.600 been wrong on both sides. By the way, this is 0:50:16.600 --> 0:50:20.000 not as there's this sense that one party was right, 0:50:20.040 --> 0:50:22.920 and that's that's a lie, that one media organization was 0:50:23.000 --> 0:50:25.799 right and others. No, that's not true. People have been 0:50:25.800 --> 0:50:29.359 getting this wrong left and right because nobuddy knows. That's 0:50:29.400 --> 0:50:34.240 really the that's the the operating or the operative phrase 0:50:34.840 --> 0:50:37.839 for what the future holds here. Nobody knows. And we're 0:50:37.840 --> 0:50:39.560 just doing the best that we can, and that's we're 0:50:39.600 --> 0:50:44.520 coming together and rallying as people to each other's sides 0:50:44.600 --> 0:50:47.040 as much as we can day to day. That's what 0:50:47.160 --> 0:50:50.080 we can do. And hope that these pray that these 0:50:50.080 --> 0:50:54.400 experts aren't making an enormous blunder by thinking that we 0:50:54.400 --> 0:50:57.360 can do this lockdown for another thirty days. I certainly 0:50:57.360 --> 0:50:59.520 hope that they're right, and then we can just turn 0:50:59.560 --> 0:51:04.160 the account. Let me about broad we'll see you're in 0:51:04.239 --> 0:51:07.799 the Freedom Mind. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. 0:51:11.960 --> 0:51:15.040 This is such a very, very sad time for us, 0:51:15.400 --> 0:51:19.200 so we should be taking every precaution. What the president, 0:51:20.000 --> 0:51:25.239 his denial at the beginning was deadly. His delaying of 0:51:25.360 --> 0:51:30.879 getting equipment to continues is delaying getting equipment to where 0:51:30.880 --> 0:51:34.279 it's needed is deadly. And now I would think the 0:51:34.320 --> 0:51:36.360 best thing would be to do is to prevent a 0:51:36.560 --> 0:51:39.919 more loss of life rather than open things up so 0:51:39.960 --> 0:51:44.640 that because we just don't know, we have to have testing, testing, testing, 0:51:44.680 --> 0:51:47.120 That's what we said from the start, before we can 0:51:47.160 --> 0:51:51.839 evaluate what the nature of it is in some of 0:51:51.880 --> 0:51:54.759 these other regions as well. I don't know what the 0:51:54.800 --> 0:51:58.000 purpose of that is. I don't know what the scientists 0:51:58.040 --> 0:52:00.680 are saying to him. I don't know what the scientists 0:52:00.680 --> 0:52:04.200 said to him. When did this president know about this sident? 0:52:04.440 --> 0:52:06.759 And what did he know? What did he know and 0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:09.880 when did he know it? That's for an after action review. 0:52:10.280 --> 0:52:13.800 But as the president fiddles, people are dying and we 0:52:14.600 --> 0:52:18.399 just have to take every precaution. Nancy Pelosi is neither 0:52:18.440 --> 0:52:21.400 a decent nor an ethical person. And you see this 0:52:21.440 --> 0:52:23.600 now in a way that has made clear what many 0:52:23.600 --> 0:52:26.280 of us have known for a long time. But Nancy 0:52:26.320 --> 0:52:30.120 Pelosi can't put aside her worst political impulses even for 0:52:30.160 --> 0:52:33.480 a moment. She can't do it. This is who she is. 0:52:34.360 --> 0:52:37.040 The president is fiddling and people are dying. How is 0:52:37.040 --> 0:52:40.600 the president fiddling? What is he supposed to do that 0:52:40.640 --> 0:52:42.799 he's not doing. He has invoked the Defense Production Acting 0:52:42.840 --> 0:52:45.479 now he's actually used it, meaning that he has gone 0:52:45.520 --> 0:52:48.000 to private, major private companies and said, okay, you're now 0:52:48.040 --> 0:52:50.040 doing this. We're going to pay you for it. But 0:52:50.080 --> 0:52:53.040 you're not doing this thing. You're making this product. You're 0:52:53.080 --> 0:52:55.719 making ventilators or masks or whatever the case may be. 0:52:56.719 --> 0:52:59.040 And this is what he was being pushed toward. He 0:52:59.040 --> 0:53:01.400 didn't want to have to do it. Look like General 0:53:01.400 --> 0:53:04.080 Motors was holding things up a little bit, so he said, okay, 0:53:04.200 --> 0:53:05.640 on the president. This is how it's going to be. 0:53:05.880 --> 0:53:09.040 Notice also, how the people that were claiming the president. 0:53:09.080 --> 0:53:11.600 There's so much that this is showing you about the lies, 0:53:11.680 --> 0:53:14.920 the dishonesty, and the just the general deceit of the 0:53:14.920 --> 0:53:18.080 opposition to this administration. For three years up until now, 0:53:18.400 --> 0:53:21.520 they kept saying that he's a dictator, he's an authoritarian, 0:53:21.760 --> 0:53:23.359 He's a fascist. I mean, these were things that we're 0:53:23.400 --> 0:53:25.480 said about the president, and now that we're in a 0:53:25.520 --> 0:53:28.360 moment where is a true crisis, and the ability to 0:53:28.440 --> 0:53:31.919 seize and wield power now is greater than anything since 0:53:32.040 --> 0:53:34.640 nine to eleven, and in some ways is even more 0:53:34.640 --> 0:53:37.319 powerful than what we saw with the aftermath of nine 0:53:37.360 --> 0:53:40.520 to eleven. That ability is not being abused by this 0:53:40.560 --> 0:53:43.280 president at all. In fact, one of the criticisms against 0:53:43.360 --> 0:53:45.560 him that the left and others are using is that 0:53:45.600 --> 0:53:48.520 he's not seizing enough power in order to deal with 0:53:48.560 --> 0:53:51.600 this pandemic. Do you think anyone looks at that in 0:53:51.600 --> 0:53:54.360 that way now and reevaluates all of their Trump is 0:53:54.400 --> 0:53:56.799 a dictator. Trump is basically like Hitler. Do you think 0:53:56.840 --> 0:53:59.640 anyone does that? No, of course not. They choose not 0:53:59.680 --> 0:54:01.600 to do any of that because it was all for 0:54:01.680 --> 0:54:04.960 a purpose. It was all about a struggle for power. 0:54:05.000 --> 0:54:06.720 It was never a boy presenting you with the truth. 0:54:06.760 --> 0:54:08.960 So they lied about Trump until now, and we all 0:54:09.000 --> 0:54:11.480 should take a moment to recognize what it was. It 0:54:11.520 --> 0:54:14.480 was lies. Thanks for listening to the bus sets and 0:54:14.560 --> 0:54:19.319 show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, 0:54:19.520 --> 0:54:23.760 or wherever you get your podcasts. She's blaming the pros 0:54:23.800 --> 0:54:26.799 in the United States for people dying because of the 0:54:26.840 --> 0:54:31.160 way he's led the country. That's the most shameful, disgusting 0:54:31.280 --> 0:54:36.040 statement by any politician in modern history. Let me tell you, 0:54:36.080 --> 0:54:40.080 we've seen the best of America, from our citizens helping 0:54:40.120 --> 0:54:45.320 each other, delivering groceries, having special shopping hours for senior citizens. 0:54:45.320 --> 0:54:49.640 She's the first politician to blame another politician for people dying. 0:54:49.960 --> 0:54:52.520 This is the same Speaker of the House who held 0:54:52.560 --> 0:54:55.239 up the bill in the Senate for days because she 0:54:55.400 --> 0:54:59.000 wanted same day voting. It is disgusting, but it's really 0:54:59.040 --> 0:55:02.239 not surprising, a isn't it. Nancy Pelosi now claiming the 0:55:02.280 --> 0:55:05.640 President's costing lives because of his response to this. Meanwhile, 0:55:06.400 --> 0:55:10.640 she delayed this rescue bill for the entire economy because 0:55:10.640 --> 0:55:13.560 of what Because she wanted money for windmills and diversity 0:55:13.600 --> 0:55:17.319 on corporate boards. No one gives a crap about those 0:55:17.320 --> 0:55:19.439 things right now. Nancy Pelosi, who's not a total left 0:55:19.440 --> 0:55:22.359 wing lunatic, but Nancy Pelosi is, in fact the left 0:55:22.400 --> 0:55:25.920 wing lunatics. I suppose none of this should be considered 0:55:25.960 --> 0:55:29.920 even the least bit surprising. Whether the President also had 0:55:29.960 --> 0:55:35.160 a I mentioned before the the back and forth with 0:55:35.200 --> 0:55:38.520 the press and how they think that still even in 0:55:38.600 --> 0:55:43.640 this moment in time, they are so very important. Here 0:55:43.760 --> 0:55:45.840 was one of the exchanges that I didn't get to before. 0:55:46.000 --> 0:55:49.120 Play clip ten. You were talking about governors of different 0:55:49.120 --> 0:55:51.080 states and you said, I want them to be appreciative. 0:55:51.440 --> 0:55:53.239 You also said, if they don't treat you right, I 0:55:53.640 --> 0:56:00.000 don't call ready. Ready. Take a look at what it says. 0:56:00.480 --> 0:56:03.640 I want them to be appreciative of me, Okay, and 0:56:03.680 --> 0:56:06.000 then you cut it off because it's fake news and 0:56:06.080 --> 0:56:09.360 of your administration. Please let me just finish. You just 0:56:09.400 --> 0:56:12.000 said it again, and you know the answers a lie. 0:56:12.080 --> 0:56:16.319 You know. I let me just say you're sapent and 0:56:16.440 --> 0:56:19.399 your response and your answer is a lie, because here's 0:56:19.400 --> 0:56:21.480 the story. You're ready. I said, I want you to 0:56:21.480 --> 0:56:23.880 be appreciative of me, and then you go on and 0:56:23.920 --> 0:56:25.839 then I go on and you cut it off. But 0:56:25.840 --> 0:56:28.560 it says when you am not appreciative. I don't want 0:56:28.560 --> 0:56:30.400 them to say things that aren't true. I want them 0:56:30.440 --> 0:56:32.600 to be appreciative. We've done a great job. And I'm 0:56:32.600 --> 0:56:34.640 not talking about me. I'm talking about Mike Pennce. The 0:56:34.640 --> 0:56:37.560 task course I'm talking about the Army Corps of Engineers. 0:56:37.600 --> 0:56:39.000 Thank you. But then you went on to say if 0:56:39.000 --> 0:56:41.279 they don't treat you right, I don't call. He's a 0:56:41.280 --> 0:56:44.440 different type of I don't call no. I don't call no. 0:56:44.520 --> 0:56:46.680 I don't call the governor of Washington in this time. 0:56:46.719 --> 0:56:49.280 But Mike Pence calls, and the head of FEMA calls. 0:56:49.280 --> 0:56:51.200 I don't stop them. Did I ever ask you to 0:56:51.239 --> 0:56:55.440 do anything negative? Mike to Washington, the state of Washington, Michigan. 0:56:55.560 --> 0:56:58.160 I love that state. That's one of my favorite places 0:56:58.160 --> 0:57:00.839 in the whole world, Michigan. This is a example of 0:57:01.360 --> 0:57:03.960 the nonsense that you expect from the press. We all 0:57:04.000 --> 0:57:06.000 know how Donald Trump speaks. We all understand that he 0:57:06.040 --> 0:57:10.080 has a very particular way of saying things, very Trumpian way. 0:57:10.320 --> 0:57:11.560 When he says that they're not nice to me, I 0:57:11.600 --> 0:57:13.239 don't call. They're saying is that he has one of 0:57:13.280 --> 0:57:16.080 the other members of the task force speak to leaders. 0:57:16.080 --> 0:57:20.680 I mean, Jay Insley has been an immature joke during 0:57:20.720 --> 0:57:22.600 some of this. I mean, after the President had a 0:57:22.640 --> 0:57:24.200 conference with him, I think it was two weeks ago, 0:57:24.240 --> 0:57:25.960 had a call with him, he went to Twitter and 0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:29.920 slammed the President unfairly on Twitter. So why isn't it 0:57:29.960 --> 0:57:31.520 a smart move? I mean, if you were managing a 0:57:31.560 --> 0:57:34.840 company and you had a very critical matter to deal with, 0:57:34.840 --> 0:57:37.280 which certainly addressing this is if you had a critical 0:57:37.320 --> 0:57:42.160 matter to deal with and you were involved in a 0:57:42.200 --> 0:57:45.720 personal dispute with somebody in the company, why not take 0:57:45.840 --> 0:57:48.680 out that personal level and make it just about doing 0:57:48.720 --> 0:57:51.680 whatever is necessary to get the job done. So he's saying, 0:57:51.720 --> 0:57:54.160 Mike Pence will be the one who makes the phone call, 0:57:54.240 --> 0:57:57.560 not me. That doesn't strike me as in any way 0:57:57.640 --> 0:58:00.000 a cause for alarm. I mean, he's the vice president 0:58:00.000 --> 0:58:01.720 and he'll talk to the States and make sure they're 0:58:01.720 --> 0:58:04.600 getting everything they need to get. But they still they 0:58:04.720 --> 0:58:06.280 drilled down on these things and they look for the 0:58:06.320 --> 0:58:09.600 most negative version of it possible because their audience has 0:58:09.600 --> 0:58:12.280 really been psychologically conditioned to view things as negatively as 0:58:12.280 --> 0:58:15.840 possible all the time about this administration. And they're certainly cause, 0:58:16.080 --> 0:58:19.160 they're certainly cause for criticism for the Trump administration on 0:58:19.160 --> 0:58:21.840 a number of fronts, but it's never in good faith. 0:58:21.880 --> 0:58:24.840 It's never offered up as well, they didn't do this. Well, 0:58:25.240 --> 0:58:27.680 here's the context. We were told that Trump was a 0:58:27.720 --> 0:58:29.720 trader and that he was basically a fascist who was 0:58:29.760 --> 0:58:32.680 destroying democracy for three years. These people are insane and 0:58:32.720 --> 0:58:36.439 that hasn't changed. That hasn't changed despite everything else. So 0:58:38.400 --> 0:58:41.520 this is what we see happening. And then you got 0:58:41.560 --> 0:58:44.920 Joe Biden, who remember he was going to do a 0:58:44.960 --> 0:58:47.360 press conference every day, and then they realized that that 0:58:47.400 --> 0:58:49.920 didn't work, that didn't look good. You're going to have 0:58:50.400 --> 0:58:53.040 what a shadow state with Joe Biden running it Right now, 0:58:53.120 --> 0:58:55.760 we don't need to hear what Joe Biden thinks about 0:58:55.800 --> 0:58:58.600 different responses or what he would do if he were 0:58:58.680 --> 0:59:01.320 in charge. We got big your things to think about, 0:59:01.400 --> 0:59:04.040 and he's not in charge. So why they back off 0:59:04.080 --> 0:59:06.040 those press conferences, Well, they got rid of them because 0:59:06.040 --> 0:59:08.840 it didn't look good for Joe Biden, and in part 0:59:08.920 --> 0:59:12.280 it's because he doesn't offer anything valuable at this point 0:59:12.320 --> 0:59:17.600 in time. Play clip nine. Let's set aside President Trump's rhetoric. 0:59:17.840 --> 0:59:20.880 Is there an action he has not taken that you 0:59:20.920 --> 0:59:23.680 would be taking right now if you were president? Yeah, 0:59:23.680 --> 0:59:25.840 I'd be doing two things. At least one, I would 0:59:25.920 --> 0:59:28.840 make sure that he uses a Defense Production Act, not 0:59:28.880 --> 0:59:31.400 only to do with the issue of whether or not 0:59:31.440 --> 0:59:34.400 there are ventilators, but I would do the same thing 0:59:34.520 --> 0:59:37.920 for mask and gowns and mask and all and shields, 0:59:38.040 --> 0:59:40.520 all the things that are first responders and our doctors 0:59:40.520 --> 0:59:43.920 and nurser's need. Why are we waiting? We know they're needed, 0:59:43.920 --> 0:59:46.080 They're going to be increasingly needed. You just heard the 0:59:46.080 --> 0:59:51.400 president's folks person talk about the increasing knee. A lot 0:59:51.440 --> 0:59:54.160 of Democrats really don't understand not just that government is 0:59:54.200 --> 1:00:00.200 full of slow, slothful, corrupt, inapt people, which it is, unfortunately, 1:00:00.600 --> 1:00:03.120 but also the way that the private sector works and 1:00:03.720 --> 1:00:07.200 why you can get more things if you allow the 1:00:07.280 --> 1:00:09.880 expertise within the private sector to do what it does. Right. 1:00:09.960 --> 1:00:13.240 Here's here's the disconnect. When it comes to public sector stuff. 1:00:13.240 --> 1:00:15.400 It's always listened to the experts. It's always the CDC 1:00:15.720 --> 1:00:18.720 says this, the NIH says that, and sometimes that is 1:00:18.720 --> 1:00:21.560 certainly the correct, the appropriate response. But they defer to 1:00:21.560 --> 1:00:24.320 the experts there. But they won't defer to experts within 1:00:24.360 --> 1:00:27.120 the private sector when it comes to making stuff. You 1:00:27.160 --> 1:00:30.040 know who's really good at making things? People who make them. 1:00:30.760 --> 1:00:32.960 You know who's not as good at them? People that 1:00:33.040 --> 1:00:35.920 just say, you know, make make a million masks appear 1:00:35.960 --> 1:00:39.640 because we say so, this is what you see. This 1:00:39.680 --> 1:00:42.920 in socialist command command control economies. You see this in 1:00:42.960 --> 1:00:45.760 places where the state is in charge in this way, 1:00:45.800 --> 1:00:47.800 at this level, where they just will you know, this 1:00:47.840 --> 1:00:50.400 is what the Soviet Union would do. They would say, okay, 1:00:51.440 --> 1:00:54.520 we want there to be x amount of loaves of bread, 1:00:54.920 --> 1:00:57.760 so that's what the breadmakers have to make. And guess 1:00:57.760 --> 1:01:00.760 what that didn't take into account what the price of 1:01:00.760 --> 1:01:02.840 wheat was, what the price of labor was, and so 1:01:02.880 --> 1:01:05.480 they were all these shortages and problems. You know, Democrats 1:01:05.520 --> 1:01:08.080 who are claiming the president should just direct the private 1:01:08.120 --> 1:01:10.120 industry to make all this stuff don't understand that he's 1:01:10.160 --> 1:01:12.080 telling some private industry, hey, can you guys make this, 1:01:12.080 --> 1:01:14.000 will pay you, and then leaving it to them to 1:01:14.000 --> 1:01:15.920 make because they'll be better at it. And then if 1:01:15.920 --> 1:01:18.600 someone slows down too much or they're being haggling too 1:01:18.640 --> 1:01:21.800 much in the negotiation, he invokes a Defense Production Act 1:01:21.880 --> 1:01:25.440 and we go from there. So that's where this is 1:01:25.520 --> 1:01:27.560 right now. I mean, Joe Biden coming forward and acting 1:01:27.600 --> 1:01:31.120 like he would just make some declaration about how they 1:01:31.200 --> 1:01:33.680 need to be fifty million masks or whatever. Then I mean, 1:01:33.680 --> 1:01:35.000 who knows, I don't even know what the number is. 1:01:35.080 --> 1:01:37.760 Right now, they think they need nationally, but it's an enormous, 1:01:38.480 --> 1:01:42.080 an enormous number of these surgical masks. Who knows what 1:01:42.120 --> 1:01:45.280 that would mean, wouldn't I don't think it would help 1:01:45.320 --> 1:01:48.720 for Joe Biden just make this declaration. But I mean 1:01:48.920 --> 1:01:51.480 a big problem here is that they're they're trashing Trump 1:01:51.560 --> 1:01:54.800 so much in their response for obvious political reasons, and 1:01:54.840 --> 1:01:56.920 then they turn around and they offer us up Joe Biden, 1:01:57.000 --> 1:02:01.840 who is really a confused l lily and an honestly 1:02:01.920 --> 1:02:07.800 corrupt guy and uninspiring and has no real executive experience 1:02:07.800 --> 1:02:10.400 of any kind other than I mean, you can talk 1:02:10.440 --> 1:02:12.600 about the executive experience his son got on the board 1:02:12.600 --> 1:02:14.120 of a company he never should have been on. Joe 1:02:14.160 --> 1:02:16.040 Biden is not someone that you would put on the 1:02:16.040 --> 1:02:18.200 board of any company to advise you, unless you were 1:02:18.200 --> 1:02:20.880 just looking for his name, which we know that's a 1:02:20.960 --> 1:02:23.760 thing that happens on the boards of companies too. So 1:02:23.800 --> 1:02:25.680 that's where we are right now. I mean, we're looking 1:02:25.720 --> 1:02:27.640 at this entire response and we're saying, well, hold on 1:02:27.640 --> 1:02:30.160 a second, we're supposed to think that Joe Biden would 1:02:30.200 --> 1:02:31.840 do such a better job or Nancy Pelosi, who do 1:02:31.840 --> 1:02:34.600 says a better job in truth, government at all levels 1:02:34.640 --> 1:02:38.320 has failed you. There have been failures, there have been missteps. 1:02:39.160 --> 1:02:43.560 There should have been more information out sooner to the 1:02:43.600 --> 1:02:47.120 public about really what this was and how dangerous it 1:02:47.160 --> 1:02:51.720 was going to be. I think I'm not convinced, for example, 1:02:51.720 --> 1:02:56.320 that the response that views this as a national level 1:02:56.400 --> 1:02:59.440 thing where everywhere you should have a lockdown instead of 1:02:59.560 --> 1:03:03.520 place by place, and the federalism that was being discussed, 1:03:03.560 --> 1:03:07.440 or a more federalist approach of states and localities making decisions. 1:03:07.440 --> 1:03:10.080 And then I think that in the end we'll look 1:03:10.120 --> 1:03:12.439 back and think that probably would have been a better move. 1:03:13.120 --> 1:03:15.040 But here's what we're up against. During all of this, 1:03:15.960 --> 1:03:18.160 no matter what happens to the economy, and no matter 1:03:18.240 --> 1:03:21.240 what happens in the aftermath of this, and the aftermath 1:03:21.280 --> 1:03:24.120 now feels like it's very far away, you will have 1:03:24.240 --> 1:03:27.960 people who tell you that it doesn't we save two 1:03:28.000 --> 1:03:33.520 million lives, and that there's nothing so no, no destruction 1:03:33.520 --> 1:03:36.400 of the economy, no erosion of civil rights, no erosion 1:03:36.600 --> 1:03:41.080 of self civil liberties, rather, no erosion of any part 1:03:41.080 --> 1:03:44.320 of our society. They will say it can compare to 1:03:44.680 --> 1:03:47.720 the did they save two two million lives? We'll end 1:03:47.800 --> 1:03:49.840 up seeing what the final number is here, but that 1:03:49.880 --> 1:03:52.040 will be the claim, So just be prepared for that 1:03:52.080 --> 1:03:53.600 as well. If you think that we head into a 1:03:53.640 --> 1:03:56.800 great depression and all of a sudden there's shortages, there's 1:03:56.840 --> 1:03:59.760 not enough food, there's real problems like that, they'll turn 1:03:59.800 --> 1:04:01.520 aroun out and say when you want to be like, 1:04:02.280 --> 1:04:03.720 I told you guys, we had to do more for 1:04:03.720 --> 1:04:06.920 the economy, they'll turn around and say to you, but no, 1:04:07.000 --> 1:04:08.920 we saved two million lives, so shut up. The government 1:04:09.000 --> 1:04:10.880 knew what it was. You know. The government response here 1:04:11.840 --> 1:04:14.560 was the correct one, and it's viewed somehow as a 1:04:14.600 --> 1:04:17.160 partisan response, even though I think this is just everyone's 1:04:17.160 --> 1:04:19.520 trying to make the best decisions they can under the circumstances. 1:04:19.800 --> 1:04:22.240 And I certainly hope that the economy just comes roaring 1:04:22.280 --> 1:04:25.720 back and maybe Manutrition's right. And you know, the people 1:04:25.840 --> 1:04:27.440 right now who are in the prediction business have a 1:04:27.560 --> 1:04:30.280 very very tough way ahead of them because really those 1:04:30.360 --> 1:04:32.320 who are good at predicting things understand that what they 1:04:32.400 --> 1:04:36.840 do is pattern analysis, and they look for similar situations 1:04:36.920 --> 1:04:38.600 how they played out, and then they try to look 1:04:38.640 --> 1:04:41.240 at they try to gauge the percentages for how something's 1:04:41.280 --> 1:04:43.960 likely to play out in the future, and you can 1:04:44.080 --> 1:04:46.680 really do that with this because we're we've never seen 1:04:46.680 --> 1:04:50.120 anything like this before. So that that's my feeling on this, 1:04:50.240 --> 1:04:53.360 my friends. There's still a lot of information we need 1:04:53.400 --> 1:04:58.280 to make better decisions. But Joe Biden, I'm await. Here's 1:04:58.320 --> 1:04:59.840 just a you know, I wanted to give you a 1:05:00.000 --> 1:05:04.520 little bit of a a moment away from the virus 1:05:04.560 --> 1:05:08.240 and everything. Here's Joe Biden giving one of his biden isms. 1:05:08.240 --> 1:05:11.360 Play eleven. What do you make of the fact that 1:05:11.400 --> 1:05:14.439 the President's John rading has bumped up during this crisis? Well, 1:05:14.480 --> 1:05:16.720 I think, you know, I think that's a typical American 1:05:16.800 --> 1:05:20.600 response in every single crisis we've had that I've been around, 1:05:20.640 --> 1:05:23.480 going back to Jimmy Carter and the hostages all the 1:05:23.520 --> 1:05:27.240 way through to this moment. President's ratings have always gone 1:05:27.280 --> 1:05:29.880 up in a crisis. And but you know, that little expression, 1:05:30.240 --> 1:05:32.240 the proof of the you know, is going to be 1:05:32.280 --> 1:05:34.360 an eating of pudding. You know, what's it going to 1:05:34.440 --> 1:05:37.600 look like? I hope we're in a situation going into 1:05:38.000 --> 1:05:41.000 the fall where this is under control, We're done all 1:05:41.040 --> 1:05:43.080 the right things, and things are beginning to move and 1:05:43.120 --> 1:05:45.320 the president is listening to the scientists, as I said, 1:05:45.720 --> 1:05:49.240 and stopping the you know, the personal attacks on people 1:05:49.280 --> 1:05:52.160 who disagree with him, and I think let's let's get 1:05:52.200 --> 1:05:56.200 away from the childishness of this and focus on the problem. 1:05:56.280 --> 1:05:58.120 The proof is going to be in eating the pudding. 1:05:59.520 --> 1:06:01.520 I'm going to say, Actually, Joe Biden's quote there, everything 1:06:01.520 --> 1:06:03.200 he said about we got to see where this is 1:06:03.200 --> 1:06:05.240 and let's stop the personal attacks and we'll have time. 1:06:05.840 --> 1:06:08.800 I'm on. I mean, I think it was a very 1:06:09.200 --> 1:06:10.960 astute thing to say. So, as much as I just 1:06:11.040 --> 1:06:12.880 wanted that the proof is going to be in eating 1:06:12.880 --> 1:06:15.120 the pudding, I just like the way he said that one. 1:06:16.520 --> 1:06:19.640 But actually his analysis there was pretty was pretty good, 1:06:19.680 --> 1:06:23.280 which is that people should stop with the nasty personal 1:06:23.360 --> 1:06:26.240 stuff and let's see where we are in dealing with this. 1:06:26.400 --> 1:06:27.720 I think that's a better approach for all of us. 1:06:27.760 --> 1:06:29.800 It would certainly be a better approach in the media. 1:06:30.000 --> 1:06:32.560 Especially now. Okay, it's hit us. Now we're in the 1:06:32.560 --> 1:06:34.480 midst of this. Now we're in the fight, and we 1:06:34.520 --> 1:06:36.000 know that it's a big one and it's real and 1:06:36.040 --> 1:06:39.600 this is scary. So let's look to do the best 1:06:39.600 --> 1:06:43.280 we can under the circumstances and not do what Pelosi's doing, 1:06:43.320 --> 1:06:47.760 which is just the most disgraceful partisan finger pointing stuff. 1:06:47.800 --> 1:06:50.400 It's it's just bad news. It's bad news. When Pelosi's 1:06:51.640 --> 1:06:54.040 able to do what she does, she does not help 1:06:54.080 --> 1:06:59.840 anybody except herself. You're in the freedom hunt. This is 1:06:59.840 --> 1:07:06.680 the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Everyone has been instructed 1:07:06.720 --> 1:07:10.280 that if they see worship surfaces going, services going on, 1:07:10.960 --> 1:07:14.720 they will go to the officials of that congregation. They'll 1:07:14.720 --> 1:07:17.960 inform them they need to stop the services and disperse. 1:07:18.640 --> 1:07:21.640 If that does not happen, they will take additional action, 1:07:22.240 --> 1:07:26.320 up to the point of fines and potentially closing the 1:07:26.400 --> 1:07:32.000 building permanently, closing the place of worship permanently. The Mayor 1:07:32.000 --> 1:07:34.440 of New York City says, I think everyone heard that 1:07:34.480 --> 1:07:37.480 and said what But this is what I mean by 1:07:37.560 --> 1:07:40.720 we have been conditioned to think that the threat of 1:07:41.680 --> 1:07:44.960 tyrannical overreach comes from this president. That's what the media 1:07:45.000 --> 1:07:47.680 has been telling you for years, even though every time 1:07:47.760 --> 1:07:51.280 he's had some policy dispute with the other side, it 1:07:51.320 --> 1:07:55.240 goes to court, he goes all, he goes through the system. 1:07:55.440 --> 1:08:00.959 You have this bad faith hashtag resistance judiciary that comes 1:08:01.040 --> 1:08:07.800 up with the most preposterous justifications for slowing down this president, 1:08:07.880 --> 1:08:10.640 and they have decisions that they go forward with that 1:08:10.680 --> 1:08:12.640 are just garbage, and then it has to make its 1:08:12.680 --> 1:08:15.600 way through the judiciary, and Trump eventually is right. But 1:08:15.680 --> 1:08:17.719 they've been telling us that Trump is a threat of 1:08:18.280 --> 1:08:20.040 tyranny for all this time, and now you have the 1:08:20.080 --> 1:08:21.840 Mayor of New York City saying, yeah, if you have 1:08:21.840 --> 1:08:24.160 a true look, I don't think people in New York 1:08:24.240 --> 1:08:26.519 right now should be gathering in large numbers for any reason, 1:08:26.520 --> 1:08:29.880 and that includes that includes religious services. There was a 1:08:29.920 --> 1:08:32.479 case in South Korea. They did a whole case study 1:08:32.520 --> 1:08:36.680 of a woman who had COVID nineteen went to services 1:08:36.720 --> 1:08:40.120 there and infected a whole lot of people in our church. 1:08:40.760 --> 1:08:43.479 So it can happen, it does happen. It's important not 1:08:43.520 --> 1:08:46.000 to do that. But to threaten to shut down a 1:08:46.000 --> 1:08:48.880 place of worship permanently, how is that helpful in this moment? 1:08:49.240 --> 1:08:51.920 And also under what authority? With the Mayor of New York. 1:08:51.960 --> 1:08:54.320 I'm sure he'd come up with some authority, but that 1:08:54.479 --> 1:08:58.439 is disconcerting. It's also disconcerting that the same person who 1:08:58.520 --> 1:09:01.040 is now telling us all that I'm not gonna say 1:09:01.040 --> 1:09:04.439 all hope is lost, but he has not been the 1:09:04.800 --> 1:09:07.160 mayor of New York has not been a calming presence, 1:09:07.200 --> 1:09:09.920 that's to say the least with all this stuff going on. 1:09:10.840 --> 1:09:13.599 Here is what he was saying before we saw quite 1:09:13.880 --> 1:09:17.080 how bad this whole thing was playing sixteen right now, 1:09:17.120 --> 1:09:20.599 we have twelve hundred hospital beds. That is a very, 1:09:20.680 --> 1:09:23.439 very substantial capacity. The message to the orches from the 1:09:23.479 --> 1:09:26.679 beginning has been this is something we all can handle together. 1:09:27.360 --> 1:09:30.040 Go about your lives, go about your business. We have 1:09:30.200 --> 1:09:33.000 the capacity to keep this contained. I think we should 1:09:33.000 --> 1:09:34.360 say the other day in the meeting that health and 1:09:34.439 --> 1:09:37.680 nostrils is in strong shape, something like ventilators. You can 1:09:37.720 --> 1:09:40.920 speak to that on ventilators. New York City is in 1:09:40.960 --> 1:09:46.560 good shape and based on even the most dire predictions 1:09:46.560 --> 1:09:49.840 of percentages of people who will have serious illness with this, 1:09:50.320 --> 1:09:53.080 we will be fine. I want to keep encouraging people 1:09:53.120 --> 1:09:55.639 to go out and live their lives and patronize those businesses. 1:09:55.680 --> 1:09:59.559 One other questions tomorrow evenings. Yes, she's safe of people 1:09:59.560 --> 1:10:05.840 who have Yeah, the point isn't the commissioner can jump in, 1:10:05.920 --> 1:10:09.120 Yeah if you if no one has symptoms, neither the 1:10:09.320 --> 1:10:12.920 visitors nor the people being visited. Yes, that was a 1:10:12.920 --> 1:10:14.839 lot of guidance, a lot of advice at the president. 1:10:14.880 --> 1:10:17.719 I'm sorry that the mayor rather was giving the people 1:10:17.720 --> 1:10:20.000 of New York City. How much of that looks in retrospect? 1:10:20.040 --> 1:10:22.760 Luck it was even a little bit a good idea, 1:10:23.000 --> 1:10:24.760 none of it. You're gonna have a lot of people 1:10:24.760 --> 1:10:26.759 that are playing the blame game and saying that people 1:10:26.880 --> 1:10:29.960 didn't respond to this properly. They and and it's going 1:10:30.000 --> 1:10:32.320 to be a political nastiness all across the board. I 1:10:32.320 --> 1:10:38.000 would just say that with Deblasio, you know, he's he's 1:10:38.040 --> 1:10:40.880 taking a very firm hand with everybody here in the 1:10:40.880 --> 1:10:44.160 city today, and it's hard for all of us who 1:10:44.240 --> 1:10:46.960 see this situation not to feel a little bit of well, 1:10:47.080 --> 1:10:51.080 weren't you telling us until recently that everything was going 1:10:51.120 --> 1:10:52.800 to be fine? And now you're telling us everything is 1:10:52.800 --> 1:10:56.559 the opposite of fine. And he has professional health people. 1:10:56.680 --> 1:10:58.519 All they do is look at this. He listened to 1:10:58.600 --> 1:11:01.360 the experts we were told, and the experts were wrong 1:11:01.400 --> 1:11:03.479 on this one too. A lot of people were wrong. 1:11:04.280 --> 1:11:06.719 Don't pay attention to the finger pointing right now. There's 1:11:06.760 --> 1:11:09.360 plenty of time for that later. Right now, we've got 1:11:09.360 --> 1:11:12.200 to get through the storm. Thanks for listening to The 1:11:12.320 --> 1:11:16.440 bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, 1:11:16.560 --> 1:11:21.720 the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. In retrospect, 1:11:21.840 --> 1:11:23.920 is that message, at least in part to blame for 1:11:24.000 --> 1:11:27.479 how rapidly the virus has spread across the city, Jake, 1:11:27.560 --> 1:11:31.960 we should not focusing, in my view, on anything looking 1:11:32.040 --> 1:11:34.840 back on any level of government right now. This is 1:11:34.960 --> 1:11:37.800 just about how we save lives going forward. We all 1:11:37.880 --> 1:11:41.519 were working, everybody was working with the information we had 1:11:41.680 --> 1:11:44.640 and trying, of course to avoid panic, and at that 1:11:44.760 --> 1:11:47.160 point for all of us, trying to keep not only 1:11:47.240 --> 1:11:50.519 protect lives, but keep the economy and the livelihoods together, 1:11:50.600 --> 1:11:53.559 keep ensuring that people had money to pay for food 1:11:53.600 --> 1:11:56.360 and medicine. I mean, this was a very different world 1:11:56.439 --> 1:11:58.640 just a short time ago. But the bottom line is, 1:11:59.160 --> 1:12:01.639 when none of us have time to look backwards, I'm 1:12:01.680 --> 1:12:04.240 trying to figure out how we get through to Sunday 1:12:04.400 --> 1:12:06.599 next Sunday, and then what we do the week after that. 1:12:07.160 --> 1:12:10.160 There's some truth to this, the looking backward right now. 1:12:10.160 --> 1:12:12.680 I mean, obviously de Blasio is particularly vulnerable to that 1:12:12.760 --> 1:12:14.200 because of the stuff that he was saying. And I've 1:12:14.200 --> 1:12:17.360 played for you before, but we are now all trying 1:12:17.360 --> 1:12:19.320 to just focus on what is ahead of us and 1:12:19.320 --> 1:12:23.160 how we can move forward, how we can do everything 1:12:23.240 --> 1:12:27.439 possible to make the best decisions we can in the 1:12:27.520 --> 1:12:31.240 days ahead as a country, as a nation, as a city, 1:12:31.360 --> 1:12:35.280 as a state, everything all across the board. And it 1:12:35.400 --> 1:12:37.080 is a very different world right now. I mean, there 1:12:37.120 --> 1:12:41.599 were people who were talking even a couple of weeks ago, 1:12:42.160 --> 1:12:43.960 who were looking at models, and some people were saying 1:12:44.000 --> 1:12:45.720 we could have two million dead, and some people were saying, 1:12:45.760 --> 1:12:48.760 we'll probably have twenty or thirty thousand, something like that, 1:12:48.880 --> 1:12:51.400 which would be similar to a bad flu season, it 1:12:51.400 --> 1:12:53.559 seems like right now, or actually that's just a pretty 1:12:53.560 --> 1:12:56.800 standard flu season. It seems right now like we're gearing 1:12:56.840 --> 1:13:00.559 up for I mean, the President yesterday claimed that anything 1:13:00.640 --> 1:13:03.479 under one hundred thousand dead from this would be would 1:13:03.520 --> 1:13:06.000 mean that the administration had done a good job. That's 1:13:06.040 --> 1:13:10.280 a that's a shift in thinking. And for a lot 1:13:10.320 --> 1:13:13.040 of us, the calculation about how quickly to get back 1:13:13.080 --> 1:13:15.920 to work versus at least some of us get back 1:13:15.920 --> 1:13:18.440 to work with enhanced precautions in place, versus the possibility 1:13:18.479 --> 1:13:21.840 of additional infection. The pendulum is swung in the other 1:13:21.920 --> 1:13:25.760 direction right now, and we are in maximum defense mode 1:13:25.760 --> 1:13:29.800 against the virus, and the economy is just being put 1:13:29.840 --> 1:13:32.160 on hold. So I want to tell you what it 1:13:32.200 --> 1:13:34.599 was like this weekend for me here in the city. 1:13:35.600 --> 1:13:38.080 On the one hand, I have time for cooking, which 1:13:38.360 --> 1:13:40.600 I will say was nice. I'll maybe get into that 1:13:40.600 --> 1:13:42.439 a little bit later. I'll tell Producer Market some of 1:13:42.439 --> 1:13:47.120 my cooking exploits. But I went for a walk with 1:13:47.160 --> 1:13:48.720 the dog. And just for those of you who are 1:13:48.760 --> 1:13:50.640 worried or saying, why aren't you in quarantine, I mean 1:13:50.680 --> 1:13:52.680 I am in quarantine. I go out by myself with 1:13:52.760 --> 1:13:55.280 the dog, and I can walk around my neighborhood. I 1:13:55.280 --> 1:13:58.120 don't see anybody. Really, there's nobody out on the streets. 1:13:58.320 --> 1:14:01.320 It's empty. I post sit a photo that I took 1:14:02.040 --> 1:14:04.960 on Sixth Avenue facing south here in New York City, 1:14:05.680 --> 1:14:09.400 and that photo just shows you that not only there 1:14:09.400 --> 1:14:11.800 are very few people on the street in the most 1:14:11.840 --> 1:14:15.080 crowded what's usually the most crowded part of Manhattan, which 1:14:15.120 --> 1:14:17.920 is the most densely populated part of the Five boroughs 1:14:17.920 --> 1:14:21.320 as far as I understand it, at least during working hours, 1:14:22.040 --> 1:14:25.439 and there were no cars. I've never seen that before 1:14:25.400 --> 1:14:27.439 in my life, where there were just no cars, and 1:14:27.520 --> 1:14:29.080 if there's anything that was close to it, maybe it 1:14:29.080 --> 1:14:32.120 would have been, you know, during a period of incredibly 1:14:32.120 --> 1:14:34.080 heavy snow, and you know the thing, let's snow, as 1:14:34.080 --> 1:14:35.559 we know, it's gonna mouth and we're gonna be okay. 1:14:35.560 --> 1:14:39.280 This is orders of magnitude more concerning. You know, this 1:14:39.360 --> 1:14:43.240 is exponentially more concerning than honestly any of the natural 1:14:43.240 --> 1:14:47.280 disasters that we've had hitting New York City and at 1:14:47.320 --> 1:14:51.800 least in my lifetime, including Hurricane Sandy. So I walked 1:14:51.800 --> 1:14:55.800 around the streets and it's there's an eerie feeling for sure, 1:14:55.840 --> 1:15:01.400 because there's no people, there's no businesses open. You are 1:15:01.520 --> 1:15:03.880 very aware here that this is a city. The city 1:15:03.960 --> 1:15:06.439 is sick. I mean, it feels like the city is 1:15:06.479 --> 1:15:09.160 in lockdown, like it's in some kind of hospital. Ward 1:15:09.280 --> 1:15:12.560 as a city. And I spoke last week to a 1:15:12.600 --> 1:15:14.479 doctor friend of mine in one of the hospitals here 1:15:14.479 --> 1:15:16.439 and he told me about the situation. He said, it 1:15:16.520 --> 1:15:20.120 is really bad. There's that photo going around and at 1:15:20.120 --> 1:15:22.320 a Brooklyn hospital. Brooklyn and Queens have been hit the 1:15:22.320 --> 1:15:24.439 worst so far, but there's a photo going around of 1:15:24.680 --> 1:15:29.599 bodies being being put into the back of a refrigerated truck. 1:15:29.960 --> 1:15:33.519 There are refrigerated trucks outside the major hospitals. That's that's 1:15:33.520 --> 1:15:35.320 all very real, folks. Some of you've been asking me, 1:15:35.360 --> 1:15:39.160 are these things really happening. Yeah, it is happening. Another 1:15:39.200 --> 1:15:44.400 friend send me a photo from his window of the 1:15:44.400 --> 1:15:47.040 field hospital that they've set up in the very fields 1:15:47.040 --> 1:15:48.720 that I used to play sports on as a kid 1:15:48.920 --> 1:15:51.800 in school. So the field hospitals are out in the 1:15:51.800 --> 1:15:54.320 fields of Central Park. There is a field hospital now 1:15:54.680 --> 1:15:58.960 near Mounts One. They've put up big tents and it's 1:15:59.000 --> 1:16:02.040 they're ready for taking patients out there too. I mean, 1:16:02.120 --> 1:16:04.200 this is where we are. I mean, this is a 1:16:04.680 --> 1:16:06.880 city that is it's like it's preparing for a war. 1:16:06.960 --> 1:16:11.080 But instead of setting up anti aircraft guns and you know, 1:16:11.120 --> 1:16:14.760 putting surfaced air missiles and sandbags and things like that, 1:16:14.840 --> 1:16:23.080 we're lining up ventilators and tents and medical personnel. It's 1:16:23.120 --> 1:16:26.960 it's a very it's a very tough time in the city. 1:16:26.960 --> 1:16:29.720 People have been asking me about the nine eleven comparison. 1:16:30.000 --> 1:16:32.320 I think this is now. I didn't. I wasn't in 1:16:32.360 --> 1:16:34.280 New York on nine eleven. I was up at college. 1:16:34.320 --> 1:16:37.559 I came back. I think within a couple of weeks probably, 1:16:38.160 --> 1:16:39.840 So I was in the city pretty soon after the 1:16:39.960 --> 1:16:44.640 nine eleven incident happened, and there was already then, I 1:16:44.640 --> 1:16:46.720 can say, at least a sense that the city was 1:16:46.720 --> 1:16:51.479 gonna was gonna bounce back, We're gonna be okay. You know. 1:16:51.479 --> 1:16:53.639 There was still that shock and the and the loss 1:16:53.640 --> 1:16:56.240 of all those people that were died in the towers 1:16:56.280 --> 1:17:00.160 and the NYPD and FDNY and all the folks who 1:17:00.479 --> 1:17:04.120 were affected by that. Certainly that was on everyone's minds, 1:17:04.439 --> 1:17:06.800 but as a city, there was no sense that the 1:17:06.960 --> 1:17:09.040 entire city was going to be was going to be 1:17:09.080 --> 1:17:11.559 taken down by this, that the city would never really 1:17:11.600 --> 1:17:13.439 be the same, at least I don't remember that at all. 1:17:14.280 --> 1:17:16.280 Right now, you walk around the streets in every restaurant 1:17:16.280 --> 1:17:19.680 you pass, everything you see that you go past, you 1:17:19.720 --> 1:17:23.439 think to yourself, they've closed down or they closed for good. 1:17:24.320 --> 1:17:29.720 Every store, every restaurant, every business you walk past them. 1:17:29.800 --> 1:17:33.519 You think how long, how long before they're not able 1:17:33.560 --> 1:17:35.040 to ever open their doors? And the answer is gonna 1:17:35.040 --> 1:17:37.759 be a lot of them never do. That's a different feeling, 1:17:38.439 --> 1:17:40.519 that's a different place than we've ever been in before 1:17:40.760 --> 1:17:45.040 as as a city, and it's it's very, very distressing. 1:17:45.680 --> 1:17:48.000 I'll also say that there's an element here and this 1:17:48.080 --> 1:17:51.360 is maybe this won't be a concern at all the NYPD. 1:17:51.760 --> 1:17:55.320 The police department here has I think a few a 1:17:55.360 --> 1:17:58.120 few thousand people who are outsick now that the department 1:17:58.200 --> 1:18:01.160 is over. I mean, if you at civilians, it's over 1:18:01.240 --> 1:18:03.960 forty thousand. I think the uniform personnels in the mid 1:18:03.960 --> 1:18:07.879 to high thirties. But you've got a couple of thousand 1:18:08.040 --> 1:18:10.880 officers who are outsick, and you've had a few hundred 1:18:11.479 --> 1:18:15.200 officers who have tested positive for coronavirus at this point. 1:18:15.760 --> 1:18:17.519 And if you look at what's going on on the 1:18:17.560 --> 1:18:21.840 streets at this point in time, it feels like it's 1:18:22.840 --> 1:18:28.760 desolate and eerie and unsafe to Cops are not going 1:18:28.800 --> 1:18:33.360 to deal with the lesser crimes, that's for sure. They've 1:18:33.400 --> 1:18:36.200 already said in Brooklyn they're not going to prosecute for trespassing, 1:18:36.240 --> 1:18:40.280 for theft. This is a combustible mix, and no one 1:18:40.360 --> 1:18:43.600 really is focused right now on the possibility of a 1:18:43.640 --> 1:18:48.200 breakdown in civil society. But it wouldn't take much. It 1:18:48.240 --> 1:18:50.160 would not take much. And you walk the streets of 1:18:50.160 --> 1:18:53.000 New York City and you have a police force that's 1:18:53.000 --> 1:18:55.120 already been hit hard by COVID nineteen is going to 1:18:55.200 --> 1:18:57.840 have more people out in the days ahead, and you 1:18:57.920 --> 1:19:00.960 just have a general sense of fear. I mean the 1:19:01.000 --> 1:19:04.400 city yesterday was a wet, cold day, It's been soaked 1:19:04.479 --> 1:19:06.559 in fear. Today is a little bit better, it's a 1:19:06.600 --> 1:19:08.760 little bit sunnier, and you know, the warm weather I 1:19:08.760 --> 1:19:10.760 think is really going to help a lot. But I 1:19:10.800 --> 1:19:14.400 just hope that we're not in a combustible situation where 1:19:15.040 --> 1:19:20.120 we end up finding ourselves. I just hope we don't 1:19:20.160 --> 1:19:25.000 end up finding ourselves dealing with problems that are caused 1:19:25.000 --> 1:19:27.439 by the virus in the lockdown to the virus, but 1:19:27.520 --> 1:19:30.120 have nothing to do with the virus. And that's where 1:19:30.160 --> 1:19:32.519 I get worried about the moment you start having shortages. 1:19:32.520 --> 1:19:34.560 I mean, there are all these stores right now. You 1:19:34.600 --> 1:19:36.920 can't get toilet paper, you can't get paper towel. You know, 1:19:37.040 --> 1:19:40.160 we're dealing with real shortages because of panic buying. What 1:19:40.240 --> 1:19:41.960 happens when you go to the store and there's there's 1:19:42.000 --> 1:19:45.360 not food? Now that doesn't feel like it could happen 1:19:45.439 --> 1:19:46.840 right now? How many months of this do we think 1:19:46.880 --> 1:19:50.639 we can sustain? And what happens if there is just 1:19:50.920 --> 1:19:54.519 from the unemployment and the anger. I mean, people are upset, 1:19:54.560 --> 1:19:57.719 they're in their homes, they can't leave. If we have 1:19:58.240 --> 1:20:02.479 some civil disorder, it's essentially on the streets. Things get 1:20:02.560 --> 1:20:05.559 very ugly very quickly here. So and I don't think 1:20:05.560 --> 1:20:10.200 that I don't think that they're that that's um out 1:20:10.200 --> 1:20:13.000 of the question. And I've spent a lot of time 1:20:13.000 --> 1:20:14.799 in this city. I've been through a lot in this city, 1:20:15.280 --> 1:20:19.519 and there's a sense right now that one one push 1:20:19.560 --> 1:20:21.840 in the wrong direction for us while we're dealing with this, 1:20:22.600 --> 1:20:25.439 and you could have problems pile on topic. Now, maybe 1:20:25.439 --> 1:20:28.160 this is all wrong. Maybe the people understand how serious 1:20:28.160 --> 1:20:31.320 this is. Everyone's staying home, everyone's scared by the virus. 1:20:31.880 --> 1:20:34.080 You know, there's there's not going to be You might 1:20:34.080 --> 1:20:36.479 even see a drop in criminal activity city wide. You 1:20:37.160 --> 1:20:39.559 probably will right now because there's just aren't people out 1:20:39.560 --> 1:20:42.120 on the streets, and you know, everyone's in their homes. 1:20:42.240 --> 1:20:44.840 So unless you're gonna do a home invasion, a burglary 1:20:44.960 --> 1:20:49.400 is a very risky thing to do. But I am. 1:20:49.479 --> 1:20:52.200 I am concerned. That's the best thing I can say. 1:20:52.280 --> 1:20:54.640 But I did see the on the upside. All right, 1:20:54.680 --> 1:20:56.680 Let's get to the upside for a second. Today is 1:20:56.720 --> 1:20:58.839 a tough one, folks. It's tough because Trump just extended 1:20:58.840 --> 1:21:01.840 the thirty days and it seems the administration has been 1:21:01.880 --> 1:21:06.000 swayed to instead of trying to take a more state 1:21:06.000 --> 1:21:11.160 by state and more you know, economy friendly or economy 1:21:11.680 --> 1:21:14.320 surviving approach to this, there's like, nope, forget it, We're 1:21:14.320 --> 1:21:17.200 just doing total lockdown. We're going for the total lockdown approach. 1:21:17.240 --> 1:21:19.559 So that's been a bit of a bit of a 1:21:19.600 --> 1:21:22.840 shock to process in the last twenty four hours. I 1:21:22.880 --> 1:21:28.839 did see this morning the the hospital ship, the USNS Comfort, 1:21:29.320 --> 1:21:33.160 the Navy's hospital ship. It came right past my window, 1:21:33.920 --> 1:21:35.880 so I mean not like I could reach out and 1:21:35.920 --> 1:21:37.840 touch it, but I could see it from my window 1:21:37.840 --> 1:21:41.080 as it sailed in into New York, went up on 1:21:41.120 --> 1:21:42.760 the went up the Hudson River, and it's out a 1:21:42.840 --> 1:21:47.920 pier not far from intown Manhattan, And that was It's 1:21:47.920 --> 1:21:50.680 just encouraging to know that we've got the eyes of 1:21:50.720 --> 1:21:52.439 the nation on the city right now, and that the 1:21:52.520 --> 1:21:55.960 Comfort is going to be there to deal with heart attacks, 1:21:56.000 --> 1:21:58.840 deal with strokes, deal with you know, all the other 1:21:58.880 --> 1:22:01.080 medical issues that do not stop because we are in 1:22:01.120 --> 1:22:03.640 our homes and there's a virus out there. So it 1:22:03.760 --> 1:22:07.559 is encouraging right now to see it's encouraging right now 1:22:07.560 --> 1:22:11.200 to see what's going on on the at least in 1:22:11.240 --> 1:22:15.200 that respect, from the from the perspective of trying to 1:22:15.240 --> 1:22:17.880 have things in place that will help us. And you know, now, 1:22:17.920 --> 1:22:20.479 I could do the whole dunk on the MSNBC show, 1:22:20.800 --> 1:22:23.519 Rachel Maddow's show for saying we'll never get here and 1:22:23.560 --> 1:22:25.479 everything else, But you know what, it's not even that's 1:22:25.479 --> 1:22:27.920 not even important right now. People are wrong. People are 1:22:27.920 --> 1:22:31.400 wrong all over the place. I don't know anyone who's 1:22:31.479 --> 1:22:33.760 who's understood at every phase of this how to handle them, 1:22:33.840 --> 1:22:38.040 what to do. And I think maybe here's the thought, 1:22:38.080 --> 1:22:40.080 maybe we could, at least for this week, try to 1:22:40.200 --> 1:22:43.960 extend a little more, a little more decency, grace, forgiveness, 1:22:43.960 --> 1:22:46.400 and understanding to each other, especially as we try to 1:22:46.439 --> 1:22:48.320 work through this together as a country than we would 1:22:48.320 --> 1:22:52.760 on other issues. Maybe we could all aspire to that. 1:22:52.760 --> 1:22:54.879 That would certainly be nice. But the Navy ship arrived. 1:22:55.280 --> 1:22:57.960 You got numerous trials going on right now for drugs 1:22:57.960 --> 1:23:00.120 that could really be helpful against this. Everyone's focused on 1:23:01.200 --> 1:23:06.599 chloroquin and zpax azithromycin as a possibility. We don't know yet. 1:23:06.840 --> 1:23:11.599 There's also a drug up in Montreal that's a it's 1:23:11.600 --> 1:23:15.120 a very inexpensive, very old gout drug, but it deals 1:23:15.160 --> 1:23:20.360 with inflammation and it may it may be useful against us. 1:23:20.360 --> 1:23:23.840 There's some hope that will be useful against the cytokine 1:23:23.880 --> 1:23:27.520 flood that occurs in the lungs when you are infected 1:23:27.560 --> 1:23:31.719 with this, So that's certainly a possibility. And then there's 1:23:31.760 --> 1:23:34.760 also this big drug out of Gilad rem Severe I 1:23:34.760 --> 1:23:37.960 think it's called out of Gilead Pharmaceuticals. So those are 1:23:38.000 --> 1:23:43.439 all possible places where things could get could get better. 1:23:43.479 --> 1:23:46.559 Those are all areas where we could see a real 1:23:47.360 --> 1:23:52.840 reason for particular, you know, for some enthusiasm about this 1:23:52.920 --> 1:23:55.760 fight and that we've made a breakthrough. We'll have to 1:23:55.760 --> 1:23:57.840 see if in fact any of them come through, and 1:23:58.280 --> 1:24:00.519 that would be a game change. Also, the syrology tests, 1:24:00.760 --> 1:24:02.880 we got to know who's already had this and how 1:24:02.880 --> 1:24:04.960 many people in the country have already had it, and 1:24:05.000 --> 1:24:06.760 then they should be cleared to go back to work 1:24:07.000 --> 1:24:09.040 assuming they have immunity, which I mean going back to 1:24:09.040 --> 1:24:12.320 work sooner than later. That would be great, But it's 1:24:12.320 --> 1:24:14.960 going to be my friends. Oh I did well. I'll 1:24:14.960 --> 1:24:17.200 give you some quarantine updates coming up here in a second. 1:24:17.200 --> 1:24:18.880 But let me just for a moment talk about what's 1:24:18.880 --> 1:24:24.000 going on with China. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This 1:24:24.080 --> 1:24:31.680 is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. China is definitely responsible 1:24:32.000 --> 1:24:34.200 for much of the pain that we are all feeling. 1:24:34.200 --> 1:24:36.280 The Chinese Communist part of the Chinese government, not the 1:24:36.360 --> 1:24:40.360 Chinese people, but the Chinese Communist Party made decisions that 1:24:40.400 --> 1:24:42.600 have had ramifications throughout the world. I mean, this is 1:24:42.960 --> 1:24:47.400 this is their Chernobyl, but it's much much worse than Chernobyl. Chernobyl, who, 1:24:47.439 --> 1:24:51.040 as we know, once they managed to take you know, 1:24:51.320 --> 1:24:53.880 they managed to try to address the problem. It did 1:24:53.920 --> 1:24:59.200 not turn into the global destruction mechanism that many were 1:24:59.240 --> 1:25:02.280 concerned it would be. Um, this is sure, noble if 1:25:02.320 --> 1:25:05.000 the worst case scenarios actually came true of the initial 1:25:05.000 --> 1:25:07.320 projection of putting all of that radiation into the air, 1:25:07.320 --> 1:25:11.800 that would spread everywhere else. And the Chinese government is 1:25:11.840 --> 1:25:13.840 lying about this, has been lying about it at every step. 1:25:14.000 --> 1:25:16.040 Here's a guy from the World Health Organization, though he's 1:25:16.080 --> 1:25:17.880 being asked a question by a journalist. I believe a 1:25:17.920 --> 1:25:21.920 journalist from Hong Kong about different countries responses to this. 1:25:22.360 --> 1:25:24.600 And the guy's name is Bruce Aylward. He's from the 1:25:24.600 --> 1:25:28.880 World Health Organization. Just notice notice how he handles this question. 1:25:29.040 --> 1:25:43.400 Play five considered Hiwan's membership. Hello, it was I couldn't 1:25:43.439 --> 1:25:45.559 hear your question. Okay, let me let me let me 1:25:45.640 --> 1:25:51.120 repeat the questions right, because because I'm actually curious on 1:25:51.240 --> 1:25:57.599 talking about Taiwan as well on Taiwan's case, we decided 1:25:57.640 --> 1:26:01.040 to give doctor Alward another call to fund and I 1:26:01.120 --> 1:26:03.040 just want to see if you can comment a bit 1:26:03.080 --> 1:26:05.439 on how Taiwan has done so far in terms of 1:26:05.560 --> 1:26:10.320 containing the fires. Well, we've already talked about China, and 1:26:11.080 --> 1:26:13.439 you know, when you look across all the different areas 1:26:13.520 --> 1:26:17.519 of China, they've actually all done a good job. So 1:26:17.560 --> 1:26:19.559 with that, i'd like to thank you very much for 1:26:19.720 --> 1:26:23.479 inviting us to participate, and good luck as you go 1:26:23.600 --> 1:26:26.400 forward with the battle in Hong Kong. We've already talked 1:26:26.439 --> 1:26:30.760 about China. Wow. World Health Organization representative here is like, 1:26:30.840 --> 1:26:34.320 no, no no, no, we do we do the Chinese bidding 1:26:34.320 --> 1:26:38.479 on this issue. Chinese don't recognize Taiwan. We don't recognize Taiwan. 1:26:38.560 --> 1:26:40.920 We won't even talk about Taiwan. So when people talk 1:26:40.960 --> 1:26:48.080 about the propaganda situation, when people discuss the reality here 1:26:49.000 --> 1:26:53.799 of Chinese propaganda being used by Western media, just understand 1:26:53.840 --> 1:26:58.920 there's also international organizations that succumbed to this pressure. There's 1:26:58.920 --> 1:27:00.479 a story. You know, I'm not to get an tomorrow 1:27:00.520 --> 1:27:02.439 a little bit because I don't really have time for 1:27:02.479 --> 1:27:05.120 it today. I want to get to Roll call. But 1:27:05.240 --> 1:27:08.559 there's a story about how did China mess up so 1:27:08.680 --> 1:27:11.760 badly when it came to dealing with this because they're 1:27:11.800 --> 1:27:14.800 supposed to be They've been preparing for this for a 1:27:14.800 --> 1:27:17.920 long time. They have in place, what were the most 1:27:18.040 --> 1:27:20.960 robust reporting mechanisms possible. That was what they thought, that 1:27:21.040 --> 1:27:23.160 was what they were telling everybody, stretching back for over 1:27:23.200 --> 1:27:26.840 a decade. How can the Chinese government get this so wrong? 1:27:27.920 --> 1:27:32.280 And the answer is the Chinese government doesn't care about 1:27:32.360 --> 1:27:35.640 human life. It cares about power. But there's a more complicated, 1:27:35.760 --> 1:27:38.240 in the weeds version of why the Chinese government mess 1:27:38.320 --> 1:27:39.720 this up so badly, and I will get into that, 1:27:39.760 --> 1:27:42.240 but you know, the world health organizations also willing to 1:27:42.280 --> 1:27:44.080 take China's word for it. You know a lot of 1:27:44.120 --> 1:27:46.800 these international organizations One of the problems, whether it's the UN, 1:27:46.840 --> 1:27:49.360 the who you name it, one of the big issues 1:27:49.479 --> 1:27:52.599 is that they have this mentality of treating all nations 1:27:52.680 --> 1:27:56.880 like they're equally decent regimes, like the act of the 1:27:57.120 --> 1:28:01.760 people that are engaged in, you know, the day to 1:28:01.840 --> 1:28:04.160 day governance, are all are all just like each other. 1:28:04.280 --> 1:28:05.960 You know, one country is as good as another country. 1:28:06.040 --> 1:28:10.799 There's the equivalent of moral relativism expanded out through nation 1:28:10.880 --> 1:28:14.640 states that exists in all these international institutions, and it 1:28:14.720 --> 1:28:17.840 leads to things like this where you have China being 1:28:17.840 --> 1:28:19.720 treated like it's a good guy here by the World 1:28:19.760 --> 1:28:23.519 Health Organization, and just a refusal to talk about Taiwan, 1:28:23.560 --> 1:28:26.080 which is an independent country. I mean, right now, Taiwan 1:28:26.160 --> 1:28:28.520 is an independent country. We're in the middle of a pandemic, 1:28:28.800 --> 1:28:30.680 and we can't talk about what Taiwan is doing. We're 1:28:30.680 --> 1:28:32.880 going to just say that it's part of China. That 1:28:32.920 --> 1:28:37.479 would be news to Taiwan, by the way. So the 1:28:37.520 --> 1:28:40.680 World Health Organization and some of these other bodies that 1:28:40.720 --> 1:28:43.240 are supposed to be a political and just helping us 1:28:43.240 --> 1:28:45.559 out with the disease, just remember that they're all these 1:28:45.720 --> 1:28:50.080 big international institutions are very political and the Chinese government 1:28:50.320 --> 1:28:53.320 is going to not just try to avoid blame for this, 1:28:53.479 --> 1:28:56.120 They're going to They're going to try to capitalize on 1:28:56.120 --> 1:28:59.320 the situation as much as they can. And look, I 1:28:59.360 --> 1:29:02.160 start to get work. What if China recognizes our financial 1:29:02.200 --> 1:29:06.240 weakness and decides that they can they can afford because 1:29:06.560 --> 1:29:09.960 of their manufacturing base and their accessing out of raw 1:29:10.040 --> 1:29:14.400 materials because of the Belton Road policy. What if they 1:29:14.400 --> 1:29:16.320 decide a dump US treasuries the tune of a few 1:29:16.360 --> 1:29:19.880 trillion dollars they own. Well, we'll get into China more tomorrow, 1:29:19.920 --> 1:29:21.920 I think. What we'll do more of a deep dive 1:29:21.920 --> 1:29:25.639 into China and the COVID nineteen crisis. Roll calls up next. 1:29:26.520 --> 1:29:30.000 Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts.

So I'm 1:29:43.080 --> 1:29:44.880 stuck here in quarantine.

So thank you so much for 1:29:51.000 --> 1:29:53.200 writing in and sharing all your thoughts. All right, let's 1:29:53.240 --> 1:29:57.240 get you Alex. I heard Mark. Hey, producer Mark, how 1:29:57.280 --> 1:29:58.720 are you, by the way, buddy, we haven't even checked 1:29:58.760 --> 1:30:00.880 in with the at house producer Mark. I'm doing well, well, 1:30:01.040 --> 1:30:04.120 thank you? You are right. Yeah, everything's great here so far, 1:30:04.200 --> 1:30:06.080 so good with you in quarantine? At least you know 1:30:06.160 --> 1:30:09.120 you're gonna get a goldfish or something, or maybe a plant. 1:30:09.200 --> 1:30:11.080 I don't really see how a goldfish or a plant 1:30:11.120 --> 1:30:13.640 would keep me occupied for very long. Yeah, but you 1:30:13.680 --> 1:30:17.479 know a company, Yeah, I mean I guess, yeah, not really. 1:30:17.720 --> 1:30:21.200 But what is are you alerting dogs? No? I love dogs. Oh, 1:30:21.200 --> 1:30:23.320 you love dogs. It's just expensive to be in this 1:30:23.360 --> 1:30:25.880 apartment building. Yeah. And plus right now, you wouldn't want 1:30:25.920 --> 1:30:27.640 to be house training a dog. That's for exactly, so 1:30:27.800 --> 1:30:29.800 you don't want to be outside all the time. I 1:30:29.880 --> 1:30:32.120 got a dog here. She directs my life right down. 1:30:32.120 --> 1:30:33.599 Whenever she wants to go out, I gotta go out. 1:30:33.600 --> 1:30:35.320 Whatever she wants is what I gotta do. So it's 1:30:35.439 --> 1:30:39.160 it's busy. It's amazing. What dog hasn't interrupted the show yet? Yeah, 1:30:39.280 --> 1:30:41.439 she's very quiet. I mean she's in the room with 1:30:41.479 --> 1:30:43.120 me all the time. In fact, I will tell you this. 1:30:43.240 --> 1:30:45.760 She actually sleeps on my feet sometimes as I'm doing 1:30:45.760 --> 1:30:48.639 the radio show at least feeling great. She's like, she's 1:30:48.640 --> 1:30:51.280 like a little baby seal warming my feet with her 1:30:51.320 --> 1:30:54.559 with her white fur and her blubber. It's great. She's 1:30:54.600 --> 1:30:57.439 a chubby one. You're gonna make saying that. She's gonna 1:30:57.439 --> 1:30:58.960 be so mad at me for saying that, but she 1:30:59.040 --> 1:31:02.360 knows it's coming. Come on. She's a soft She's a 1:31:02.400 --> 1:31:06.000 full figured French bulldog, that is for sure. All right now, 1:31:06.080 --> 1:31:07.840 Mark is okay, so we're good with that. I heard 1:31:07.880 --> 1:31:10.360 Mark mentioned Mitch Rap That's one series I like. Who 1:31:10.439 --> 1:31:12.479 was going to recommend it to you? Vince Flynn is 1:31:12.479 --> 1:31:16.240 the author. Daniel Silva's Gabriel Alan series is good too. 1:31:16.640 --> 1:31:18.920 And if you like short podcasts, you should check out 1:31:18.960 --> 1:31:20.880 the way I heard it with Mike Roe Shields Hie 1:31:20.920 --> 1:31:25.479 good Sir Alex, thank you for all those recommendations. I 1:31:25.520 --> 1:31:29.120 do appreciate that, and I will say that what you know, 1:31:29.160 --> 1:31:31.240 what I did over the weekend like everybody else, because 1:31:31.400 --> 1:31:33.840 I feel like there's this greater sense now more than ever, 1:31:33.880 --> 1:31:37.479 that you want to have some community with people and 1:31:37.560 --> 1:31:39.360 you want to be able to talk to them about 1:31:39.439 --> 1:31:42.120 things you're watching. Because I can't see people, I can't 1:31:42.160 --> 1:31:44.760 experience things with them. I can't go for walks with them, 1:31:44.880 --> 1:31:46.600 or or go to dinner with them, or you know, 1:31:46.680 --> 1:31:48.720 I can't cook dinner for my parents right now, which 1:31:48.720 --> 1:31:51.720 I like to do sometimes. So watching things and being 1:31:51.720 --> 1:31:53.759 able to talk about them is fun. I did watch 1:31:54.200 --> 1:31:56.960 the Tiger King mark. Did you get to it yet? No? 1:31:57.040 --> 1:31:59.120 We were binging a different show this weekend. What'd you 1:31:59.160 --> 1:32:01.320 binge over the weekend? The one about a creek that 1:32:01.360 --> 1:32:04.920 I can't say the first name of them? That? Oh yeah, okay, 1:32:05.040 --> 1:32:06.960 are you almost done with that one? We got through 1:32:07.040 --> 1:32:09.800 two seasons just this weekend alone, so we are pretty 1:32:09.880 --> 1:32:13.040 much pretty close to the end. Yeah. Nice, Okay, cool. Well, 1:32:13.040 --> 1:32:14.519 I'm very curious to hear what your thoughts are on 1:32:14.560 --> 1:32:16.879 Tiger King. I thought Tiger King the first couple of episodes, 1:32:16.920 --> 1:32:20.080 we're pretty amazing, very entertaining. Then I think it kind 1:32:20.120 --> 1:32:21.960 of I think it's seven episodes in total. Then it 1:32:22.040 --> 1:32:24.639 kind of got a little bit, a little two into things, 1:32:24.640 --> 1:32:28.600 it got a little depressing, and it finished Okay, it finished, okay, 1:32:28.880 --> 1:32:31.719 But the first two episodes are just are just mind boggling. 1:32:31.760 --> 1:32:34.240 I mean, it's pretty amazing stuff that goes on. If 1:32:34.280 --> 1:32:37.000 I here's here's the question for you, producer Mark, if 1:32:37.040 --> 1:32:39.760 you if you could have if you had to have 1:32:40.360 --> 1:32:46.120 any exotic and dangerous animal, meaning it has to actually 1:32:46.240 --> 1:32:49.519 prove some some threat to your safety, but you got 1:32:49.520 --> 1:32:52.559 to have it as a pet. So we're talking lines tigers, bears, 1:32:53.080 --> 1:32:59.000 oh my king Cobra's, elephants, hippopotami. What do you go for? 1:33:00.439 --> 1:33:04.200 This is a ridiculous question. There was any higher series 1:33:04.400 --> 1:33:06.920 just about people that do exactly this. I mean, I 1:33:06.960 --> 1:33:10.400 guess lying cubs are kind of cute, exactly, that's what 1:33:10.560 --> 1:33:15.719 most people go for. Panda. Yeah, I like that answer. 1:33:16.360 --> 1:33:18.720 I think a panda is actually an excellent choice. They're 1:33:18.840 --> 1:33:21.240 very cute, and yes they're bears, and they're dangerous and 1:33:21.240 --> 1:33:23.040 they're big. I wouldn't want to pet them though. Do 1:33:23.080 --> 1:33:24.360 you ever see the video of the guy that got 1:33:24.400 --> 1:33:26.360 too close to a panda cage in China and it 1:33:26.439 --> 1:33:29.560 grabs him and holds him against the bars, and you realize, oh, 1:33:29.600 --> 1:33:33.360 it's a lot stronger than me. Yeah, it's not a puppy, 1:33:33.680 --> 1:33:35.639 it's not. Yeah, it's not a cute little They look cute, 1:33:35.640 --> 1:33:39.040 but they're actually big bears. The one thing that would 1:33:39.040 --> 1:33:40.920 scare me more than I think a lot of people would. 1:33:41.120 --> 1:33:46.880 I think I think the larger primates, so baboons and chimpanzees. 1:33:47.439 --> 1:33:51.559 When those guys go bad, it's it's very bad. They're 1:33:51.600 --> 1:33:54.800 really scary. M I would also recommend anybody that wants 1:33:54.840 --> 1:33:56.840 to I've told you about Project Nim many times. That's 1:33:56.840 --> 1:34:01.240 a great a great documentary on on chimpanzees. And I 1:34:01.280 --> 1:34:05.240 would also say for me, I would want a Bobcat. 1:34:05.560 --> 1:34:07.760 I just think a bobcat would be really cool and 1:34:07.800 --> 1:34:10.120 it's pretty realistic too. You could have a pet Bobcat 1:34:10.160 --> 1:34:13.719 at home and it wouldn't take up that much space. 1:34:13.760 --> 1:34:15.800 It's about the size of a of like a labrador. 1:34:15.800 --> 1:34:17.559 I mean, they're maybe even a little smaller than a labrador. 1:34:17.640 --> 1:34:20.599 They're not that big. So I don't know. Maybe maybe 1:34:20.640 --> 1:34:22.519 I'll get a pet bobcat one. All right, you do that, 1:34:22.680 --> 1:34:25.320 let me know how it goes. I'm never coming over, Okay, 1:34:25.560 --> 1:34:27.599 I'll bring it to work. We'll make sure it's safe 1:34:27.600 --> 1:34:30.360 for you though. Tracy hey Buck and producer Mark, I 1:34:30.400 --> 1:34:32.000 just want to say thank you for showing up every day. 1:34:32.040 --> 1:34:33.400 I'm trying to stay up on the news, but I 1:34:33.400 --> 1:34:35.920 get so annoyed seeing all the lies. I've had to 1:34:35.920 --> 1:34:38.040 steer clear of social media because I get sucked in 1:34:38.080 --> 1:34:40.479 by ill informed friends. If I just listen to you guys, 1:34:40.479 --> 1:34:42.160 it centers my chee. I feel like I know what's 1:34:42.200 --> 1:34:45.240 going on. Be safe, keep those shields high. We appreciate you, 1:34:45.280 --> 1:34:47.640 and you're in my prayers. Well, Tracy, we appreciate you. 1:34:47.720 --> 1:34:50.439 Thank you so much, and we certainly try to keep 1:34:50.479 --> 1:34:53.559 things centered and and and good to go. Mark, can 1:34:53.600 --> 1:34:55.880 you see the how far are you from the from 1:34:55.880 --> 1:35:00.559 the Hudson? I can see swamp. I can't see Hudson. 1:35:00.880 --> 1:35:02.840 Can't you see swam not Hudson. I'm just wondering if 1:35:02.840 --> 1:35:04.920 you were able to catch a glimpse, because if you 1:35:04.920 --> 1:35:06.800 were in Jersey City, for example, you definitely would have 1:35:06.800 --> 1:35:10.240 been able to see the ship coming up the Hudson. 1:35:10.240 --> 1:35:11.439 I mean, it was a pretty big to do because 1:35:11.439 --> 1:35:14.400 they're all the helicopters and the tug boats and stuff 1:35:14.439 --> 1:35:17.280 around it, So it was a pretty big, pretty big scene. 1:35:18.080 --> 1:35:22.320 But you know, swamp, swamp is good. Swamp is good too. Christy, 1:35:22.600 --> 1:35:24.559 hey Buck, thank you and producer Mark were still doing 1:35:24.560 --> 1:35:26.519 the show every day. You guys are so nice. Thank you. 1:35:26.840 --> 1:35:29.439 Our city stay at home order begins tomorrow through April sixteenth, 1:35:29.479 --> 1:35:31.120 but I work in law enforcements, so I still have 1:35:31.160 --> 1:35:32.960 to head to the office. I am glad to have 1:35:33.000 --> 1:35:35.320 a job though, and a change of scenery from my house. 1:35:35.840 --> 1:35:38.479 My cats are likely tired of me talking video of 1:35:38.560 --> 1:35:40.720 taking video and photos of them. I'm just trying to 1:35:40.720 --> 1:35:42.800 make them into social media influencers so they can bring 1:35:42.840 --> 1:35:45.599 some revenue and stop freeloading. Also, I really miss sports, 1:35:45.600 --> 1:35:49.040 social distance hugs from North Carolina. Well, Christie, thank you, 1:35:49.200 --> 1:35:51.439 and yeah, we all we all missed those distractions. I 1:35:51.439 --> 1:35:52.920 think that's one of the reasons this is so hard 1:35:52.960 --> 1:35:55.479 for us all psychologically, is that we don't have those 1:35:56.120 --> 1:36:01.120 those real things to focus our attend And it makes 1:36:01.120 --> 1:36:04.800 me appreciate actually how much sports professional sports are so 1:36:05.280 --> 1:36:09.120 really useful to people. Yeah, it's entertainment, but even beyond 1:36:09.160 --> 1:36:12.639 that as as escape and as an emotional focus into 1:36:12.680 --> 1:36:17.200 something that's that's positive and that's you know, how would 1:36:17.240 --> 1:36:19.080 you describe a producer, Mark, I mean, when you're watching 1:36:19.080 --> 1:36:21.599 a Great Rangers game, where does your mind go? I mean, yeah, 1:36:21.600 --> 1:36:23.640 it's it's an escape. But if you remember in New 1:36:23.720 --> 1:36:26.719 York right after nine to eleven. The first sporting event 1:36:26.840 --> 1:36:29.679 after nine eleven was on September twenty first, I believe 1:36:30.080 --> 1:36:32.599 the Mets played the Braves. Mike Piazza hit a game 1:36:32.600 --> 1:36:36.120 winning home run and that building shook. It made everyone 1:36:36.200 --> 1:36:39.200 smile for the first time since the towers fell, and 1:36:39.439 --> 1:36:41.840 it was such an escape for everyone. I think that's 1:36:41.840 --> 1:36:43.719 the big difference you were talking about nine to eleven 1:36:43.800 --> 1:36:46.360 before in comparison to this is we don't know when 1:36:46.400 --> 1:36:48.439 it's gonna end. We don't know when we can smile again. 1:36:49.479 --> 1:36:51.479 That's what sports did back then, and I mean, I 1:36:51.520 --> 1:36:55.280 just hope sports can come back sometime to make people smile. Yeah. 1:36:55.320 --> 1:36:57.559 And by the way, we do have the We do 1:36:57.680 --> 1:37:03.040 have that clip of here's here's a agreed upon socially 1:37:03.120 --> 1:37:06.320 distanced cheering from buildings all over New York City for 1:37:06.479 --> 1:37:08.400 people who are out there on the front lines keeping 1:37:08.400 --> 1:37:23.160 work going. Can you play that audio? See producer Mark. 1:37:23.200 --> 1:37:26.000 I even liked the whistling there. Yeah, I was wondering 1:37:26.040 --> 1:37:27.840 if you would complain about the whistling, but no, I 1:37:27.880 --> 1:37:30.439 even liked it. Yeah, it was necessary. Yep, that was 1:37:30.479 --> 1:37:33.240 good whistling. That was a very nice moment. It was. 1:37:33.320 --> 1:37:35.519 I mean really, if you see the video of it, 1:37:35.520 --> 1:37:37.639 it's even better because you can tell that there's people 1:37:38.080 --> 1:37:40.519 in buildings all over a part of New York just 1:37:40.600 --> 1:37:44.840 cheering for our first responders, cheering for doctors, nurses, people 1:37:44.880 --> 1:37:47.720 on the front lines of this thing. So it was 1:37:47.720 --> 1:37:49.400 a moment. You're going to see more of that, which 1:37:49.439 --> 1:37:51.720 we're gonna need too. I mean, keeping morale high right 1:37:51.760 --> 1:37:56.439 now is very, very important. Sarah, hey Buck, I love 1:37:56.479 --> 1:37:59.920 the trivia about your mom being a professional ballet dancer. 1:38:00.120 --> 1:38:02.519 I teach at a classical ballet school that I hope 1:38:02.560 --> 1:38:04.280 will still be in business once this is over. We 1:38:04.400 --> 1:38:07.000 started live streaming classes this week, which is nothing like 1:38:07.120 --> 1:38:09.400 the real thing. My hubby and I were supposed to 1:38:09.400 --> 1:38:11.040 fly to New York City with our son this morning 1:38:11.120 --> 1:38:13.479 for his senior trip. Now we're wondering if he'll be 1:38:13.520 --> 1:38:16.200 graduating from high school on time. Hopefully we'll be able 1:38:16.200 --> 1:38:17.920 to make the Big Apple too. With all the TV 1:38:18.040 --> 1:38:21.840 show talk, I haven't heard one anyone mentioned Mozart in 1:38:21.880 --> 1:38:24.439 the Jungle. It's one of my favorites. I love your podcast. 1:38:24.479 --> 1:38:26.280 I'll look forward to it every day. Shield Hie, Sarah 1:38:26.320 --> 1:38:29.439 and Arizona, Well, thank you so much, Sarah, and I 1:38:29.800 --> 1:38:34.559 haven't seen Mozart in the jungle, so sounds good. It 1:38:34.600 --> 1:38:37.240 takes place in Manhattan anything, it takes place in a 1:38:37.280 --> 1:38:39.479 normal New York right now, though it is going to 1:38:39.560 --> 1:38:41.240 be a little tough for me because it's such a 1:38:42.640 --> 1:38:45.200 right and this is the hardest it's ever been to 1:38:45.240 --> 1:38:48.120 be in this city right now, through all the natural disasters, 1:38:48.160 --> 1:38:50.439 through nine to eleven, this is this is really right now, 1:38:50.479 --> 1:38:53.800 I think is the most it's the toughest period we've 1:38:53.840 --> 1:38:57.320 gone through. Jeff hey Buck, I really enjoy your podcast 1:38:57.400 --> 1:38:59.840 and how you systematically tear down the leftist narrative is 1:39:00.080 --> 1:39:02.639 really disgusting what the media, democrats they're one of the same, 1:39:02.680 --> 1:39:05.040 are doing with this crisis. I find that interesting that 1:39:05.080 --> 1:39:07.519 these same liberal governors say we can risk one life 1:39:07.520 --> 1:39:14.280 with this virus while also advocating for effect fourth trimester abortions, 1:39:14.320 --> 1:39:17.760 fourth being shortly after birth. How about those precious lives. 1:39:17.800 --> 1:39:20.000 There's no consistency at all. Stuck working from home in Charlotte, 1:39:20.040 --> 1:39:25.559 North Carolina. Yeah, I mean it's first of all, thank 1:39:25.600 --> 1:39:27.120 you for listening to podcast, and I'm really glad you 1:39:27.200 --> 1:39:29.439 enjoy you get something out of it every day and 1:39:29.680 --> 1:39:33.880 as for the not risking one life with the virus, 1:39:33.960 --> 1:39:36.479 I mean, that's this make this feels good for people 1:39:36.520 --> 1:39:38.320 to say it's just not true. And I know it's 1:39:38.320 --> 1:39:40.519 really easy to demagogue this and show people down, but 1:39:40.600 --> 1:39:43.360 we make we as a society take risks all the 1:39:43.400 --> 1:39:46.519 time that we know will end in risks. Right now. 1:39:46.600 --> 1:39:48.800 There's a difference between shoving somebody off a cliff and 1:39:48.920 --> 1:39:51.679 saying somebody, all right, you know you can drive down 1:39:51.680 --> 1:39:53.840 this road, but some people may skid off the end 1:39:53.880 --> 1:39:55.439 of this cliff and we still want a road here. 1:39:55.479 --> 1:39:59.720 That's not the same thing. Yeah, Beverly Ruts, could you 1:39:59.720 --> 1:40:03.200 please up Tlu on your lap again during your live broadcast. 1:40:03.320 --> 1:40:05.280 She's so cute and thank you for making my day 1:40:05.360 --> 1:40:11.200 so much better. Well, Beverly, maybe we'll do a Facebook 1:40:11.280 --> 1:40:13.920 live with Toulu and maybe we can bring her into 1:40:13.960 --> 1:40:16.320 some of the If you're not already watching on Pluto 1:40:16.360 --> 1:40:20.120 TV channel two forty eight, the first please do. Pluto 1:40:20.160 --> 1:40:22.160 TV is a great app for you to have right now. 1:40:22.479 --> 1:40:24.880 Think of it like you're just adding an entirely new 1:40:26.080 --> 1:40:29.280 cable TV lineup. But it's free, free, free, free on 1:40:29.320 --> 1:40:31.280 your phone and you just click the channels. You want 1:40:31.320 --> 1:40:33.760 to have a lot of channels. The first is the 1:40:33.880 --> 1:40:37.360 channel that I'm on with Jesse Kelly, Dana Lash, Mike Slater. 1:40:38.080 --> 1:40:41.320 And it's just think of it like we're keeping you 1:40:41.360 --> 1:40:43.519 company and bringing you up to speed every day, and 1:40:43.560 --> 1:40:45.599 you can watch video of it and we're all connected. 1:40:45.600 --> 1:40:47.439 It's like it's like I'm doing a FaceTime call with 1:40:47.479 --> 1:40:49.519 every single one of you who's watching on Pluto TV. 1:40:50.520 --> 1:40:52.040 That's kind of what it looks like too. But that's 1:40:52.040 --> 1:40:53.960 because I have to do this from home. People are asking, well, 1:40:54.000 --> 1:40:56.400 what is your studio look like that, Well, it's because 1:40:56.520 --> 1:40:58.760 we aren't allowed to be in studios anymore because of 1:40:58.760 --> 1:41:02.760 the global pandemic, so there are some some trade offs 1:41:02.760 --> 1:41:05.519 we have to make. And as for Talu, yeah, Talula 1:41:05.720 --> 1:41:09.240 is a lot of fun and she's great for live 1:41:09.320 --> 1:41:11.479 broadcasts and we'll bring her back into it as soon 1:41:11.479 --> 1:41:14.559 as we can. She doesn't like to sit for that long, 1:41:14.600 --> 1:41:16.559 but say sometimes she gets a little squirmy, you know, 1:41:16.680 --> 1:41:19.839 she wants to go and sniff and find like leftover 1:41:19.920 --> 1:41:22.400 chicken on the floor somewhere. I gotta keep my floors 1:41:22.520 --> 1:41:25.080 really clean because otherwise there's any food in the kitchen 1:41:25.120 --> 1:41:27.599 on the floor. She goes right for it. She's amazing 1:41:27.680 --> 1:41:31.000 that a little sense of smells incredible. I got her, 1:41:31.160 --> 1:41:33.000 I'll tell you this. I got her some doggy steps 1:41:33.080 --> 1:41:35.200 so that she doesn't have to bother me when she 1:41:35.240 --> 1:41:36.360 wants to be at the foot of the bed or 1:41:36.360 --> 1:41:37.600 when she wants to get up on the couch. She 1:41:37.680 --> 1:41:39.559 likes to do this thing where she winds and then 1:41:39.560 --> 1:41:41.360 i'd come over and pick her up. And she weighs 1:41:41.400 --> 1:41:45.559 about thirty thirty two pounds. I think, so she's a thick, 1:41:46.720 --> 1:41:49.360 as I said, a full figured boss, a full figured 1:41:49.640 --> 1:41:53.280 French bulldog. I got her stairs that she can climb up, 1:41:53.280 --> 1:41:54.880 and I kept doing this thing where I would hold 1:41:54.920 --> 1:41:56.240 a little piece of chicken at the top of the 1:41:56.280 --> 1:41:58.719 stairs to see if she'd walk up, and she would 1:41:58.760 --> 1:42:01.439 immediately run around to the other end of the couch, 1:42:01.520 --> 1:42:02.760 or run around the other end of the bed and 1:42:02.880 --> 1:42:05.799 jump up like she's evil Kinneval all of a sudden, 1:42:05.800 --> 1:42:08.679 and she's doing a trick where she's flying over twenty 1:42:08.680 --> 1:42:11.120 cars or something, jump right up onto the bed, jump 1:42:11.240 --> 1:42:12.680 right up onto the couch, and take the chicken out 1:42:12.680 --> 1:42:15.360 of my hand. So she doesn't need the stairs. She 1:42:15.400 --> 1:42:18.040 won't use the stairs when there's chicken involved. But when 1:42:18.080 --> 1:42:20.920 there's no chicken, I am the human elevator and I 1:42:20.960 --> 1:42:24.679 have to make sure that I pick her up. You're 1:42:24.720 --> 1:42:28.440 in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 1:42:32.080 --> 1:42:34.320 All right, we got married. Good evening, Buck, first time 1:42:34.360 --> 1:42:37.000 watching you on Pluto TV. Thank you for all you do. 1:42:37.080 --> 1:42:38.880 But I can't help looking over your shoulder and seeing 1:42:38.880 --> 1:42:40.519 how high up you are. I don't think I could 1:42:40.520 --> 1:42:42.639 live that high. Keep up the good work. I enjoy 1:42:42.680 --> 1:42:45.160 your show. Oh Mary, I'm glad you got to watch 1:42:45.160 --> 1:42:47.439 it on Pluto TV. Thank you for tuning in, and 1:42:47.720 --> 1:42:49.840 for everybody else out there listening on Radio World. If 1:42:49.840 --> 1:42:51.960 you want, you can always check us out on video two. 1:42:52.520 --> 1:42:55.840 And yes, I am very My apartment is very high 1:42:55.920 --> 1:43:02.080 up I am. I live higher than probably ninety five 1:43:02.400 --> 1:43:06.639 percent of you have a building where you in your 1:43:06.680 --> 1:43:08.840 town or city that's as high as where I live. 1:43:08.880 --> 1:43:10.960 I think that's probably fair to say, maybe have a 1:43:11.000 --> 1:43:13.080 five percent of you listening, maybe ten percent of you listening. 1:43:13.120 --> 1:43:16.160 I mean I'm way up. I'm over forty stories in 1:43:16.200 --> 1:43:19.120 the air, So that's that's up there. I don't know 1:43:19.160 --> 1:43:22.479 how many cities even have that many residential towers over 1:43:22.520 --> 1:43:25.960 forty stories. But it's I'm up, I'm up in the sky. 1:43:26.600 --> 1:43:31.880 It's a great view, but it's it's. Yeah, you don't 1:43:31.880 --> 1:43:33.719 want to look down too close to the window sometimes, 1:43:33.720 --> 1:43:37.800 that's for sure, Mike buck Neither CBS, nor ABC, nor 1:43:38.160 --> 1:43:42.280 nor eight NBC aired the task Force update today. The 1:43:42.360 --> 1:43:44.680 CBS even news reporter claim that Trump wouldn't talk to 1:43:44.720 --> 1:43:48.040 governors of Washington and Michigan unless they appreciated him. That's 1:43:48.040 --> 1:43:50.439 not what he said. She gave the false impression that 1:43:50.439 --> 1:43:52.439 he's holding up assistance until they kiss his button. Now 1:43:52.479 --> 1:43:54.240 the media can lie and twist around what he says, 1:43:54.240 --> 1:43:56.200 and we can hear we can't hear the important info 1:43:56.240 --> 1:43:59.040 provided by these updates. Yeah, Mike, I mean, I think 1:43:59.080 --> 1:44:01.479 it's absurd that they're not running the press conference. They're 1:44:01.479 --> 1:44:03.960 not letting us see exactly what the president says on 1:44:04.000 --> 1:44:07.880 those channels. What could be more newsworthy than the press conference? 1:44:08.240 --> 1:44:10.320 You know, what could be more newsworthy? I just I 1:44:10.400 --> 1:44:14.240 asked that question in all honesty. Jerry, Hey, Buck, I'm 1:44:14.240 --> 1:44:16.759 oss listening to the podcast. It's good to hear feisty 1:44:16.840 --> 1:44:19.720 in the trenches fighting buck back. I didn't vote for 1:44:19.760 --> 1:44:21.680 Trump but listening to press or Friday, I thought out loud, 1:44:21.720 --> 1:44:23.720 thank God for Trump. I'm in the trenches with you now. 1:44:23.720 --> 1:44:26.519 Shield's high. Well, Jerry, thank you man. And I'm if 1:44:26.560 --> 1:44:29.120 I seem like I'm just not as as feisty in 1:44:29.160 --> 1:44:31.840 the fight today, it's just I'm a little yesterday was 1:44:31.880 --> 1:44:33.840 it felt like a setback with the extension of the 1:44:33.920 --> 1:44:36.800 quarantine managers here for a month. But I'll be back 1:44:36.840 --> 1:44:40.439 in action tomorrow. I'll be back in action doing all 1:44:40.479 --> 1:44:43.360 that stuff, so it'll be It'll be good for sure. 1:44:46.000 --> 1:44:49.240 So yeah, we'll see, we'll see. Um, let's see what 1:44:49.240 --> 1:44:53.720 we got here, Karen. Please don't try to cut your 1:44:53.760 --> 1:44:57.040 own hair. I'm ninety nine percent sure you will be sorry. 1:44:57.360 --> 1:44:59.760 If you can't find a hat big enough, tell us 1:44:59.760 --> 1:45:01.960 you're head circumference. And I bet someone on Team Buck 1:45:01.960 --> 1:45:04.920 could knit you a hat, or you could wear a 1:45:05.080 --> 1:45:10.559 scarf Pirates style or a turban um. What do we 1:45:10.800 --> 1:45:13.280 really I can't cut my own hair. I trimmed the 1:45:13.320 --> 1:45:15.360 beard down a little bit because a beard was getting 1:45:15.400 --> 1:45:20.960 really it was starting to look like Tom Hanks and castaway. Uh, 1:45:21.000 --> 1:45:23.160 you know, here we go, ned you a hat or 1:45:23.200 --> 1:45:25.720 a scarf? What what do you think I like the 1:45:25.800 --> 1:45:30.160 turban idea. I could definitely do a knit hat if 1:45:30.160 --> 1:45:32.160 somebody has a great idea for that. That says team 1:45:32.160 --> 1:45:36.240 buck on, it's gonna wear a hat indoors um, Yes, 1:45:36.320 --> 1:45:40.160 when you're on the show. Uh, yeah, I guess I 1:45:40.200 --> 1:45:43.840 don't know U. So yeah, we will. We will have 1:45:43.840 --> 1:45:47.679 to see how that goes. Fiona. That sound like Trump. 1:45:47.680 --> 1:45:49.640 We'll see, We're looking at it. We'll see. With Buck's hair, 1:45:49.760 --> 1:45:52.360 We'll see. I love your show. I'd regularly of the podcast. 1:45:52.360 --> 1:45:54.479 I'm listening to your three twenty seven show. Now, you 1:45:54.520 --> 1:45:57.800 spoke very unfavorably of the actions of Representative Massey of 1:45:57.880 --> 1:46:00.640 Kentucky me the statement, you don't lecture someone constitution when 1:46:00.680 --> 1:46:03.800 their house is burning down. I respectfully disagree. Our constitution 1:46:03.880 --> 1:46:06.839 is necessary to give guidance and provide guard rails, especially 1:46:06.840 --> 1:46:09.280 in times at crisis. Well, yeah, but it wasn't about 1:46:09.479 --> 1:46:12.400 It wasn't a constitutional issue, So that's actually a bad 1:46:12.439 --> 1:46:14.600 example that I used. It was a legislative issue that 1:46:14.640 --> 1:46:17.560 had to do with too much spending. It wasn't like 1:46:17.640 --> 1:46:22.000 they were rounding people up and putting them in camps. So, Fiona, 1:46:22.040 --> 1:46:23.960 I just had to say that it wasn't enough of 1:46:24.000 --> 1:46:26.680 an emergency to justify what Massey was saying he was 1:46:26.680 --> 1:46:27.960 going to do, which is why he didn't do it, 1:46:27.960 --> 1:46:31.160 and he backed down. Thank you everybody for listening. We'll 1:46:31.200 --> 1:46:34.320 be back tomorrow. We will be better, stronger in the future. 1:46:34.600 --> 1:46:38.760 Today we fight, we stay together, shields high,
