1
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: You are entering the Freedom Hunt. It's week two of

2
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: the fifteen days to stop the spread. We have updates

3
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: about our fight against COVID nineteen, the Wuhan virus. We'll

4
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: talk about not just the risks of this pandemic to

5
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: our health, but also to our economy. We've got a

6
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: number of US senators in quarantine. One senator already has

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: been positive for it. We'll talk about what happens next

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: and where we're going. Coming up on the Buck Sexton Show.

9
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: This is the bus Sexton Show where the mission or

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence,

11
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: make no mistakes, Great American Again, the Buck Sexon Show begins.

12
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: He's a great guy. Now for those word and afraid,

13
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: please know as long as I am your president, you

14
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: can feel confident that you have a leader who will

15
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,639
Speaker 1: always fight for you and I will not stop until

16
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: we win. This will be a great victory. Welcome the

17
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: Buck sex and show everybody. The President trying to reassure

18
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: us that it's all going to be okay. I think

19
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: it is going to be okay, but we have some

20
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: big decisions to make, not just in the months ahead,

21
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: but in fact in the weeks ahead, we have decisions

22
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: that we will have to make about whether or not

23
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: we allow this virus to fundamentally transform our economy, really

24
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: to destroy our economy, and that's going to be one

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: of my main focuses today. The President also tweeted out

26
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: that we cannot let the cure be worse than the

27
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: problem itself. At the end of the fifteen day period,

28
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: will make a decision as to which way we want

29
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: to go. Look, I've been advocating here that the end

30
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: of the fifteen day period is something we should all

31
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: try to adhere to as much as we can give

32
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: the government a little more time to figure out what

33
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: it is that they need. Right. I've been thinking about

34
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: the best ways for us in our own individual capacity

35
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: to try and fight against this or prevent the spread

36
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: of this. But the fifteen days was supposed to be

37
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: allowing the government to get prepared, really to play catch up.

38
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: Because the government lost time, and I've seen even more

39
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: information now about the problem, not just with the CDC

40
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: but with the FDA. Government agencies are not capable of

41
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: moving swiftly and decisively. It is like against their bureaucratic DNA.

42
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: If we have time, we'll get into some more of

43
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: the information on that how exactly that all fell apart.

44
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: But now we've gone through a week of these extreme

45
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: measures at different levels, and we have all these on

46
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: the screens. If you're watching TV or if you're opening

47
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: up the news, you look at the cases around the world.

48
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: Three hundred and fifty thousand more or less as of today,

49
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: about fifteen thousand, three hundred deaths worldwide, over one hundred

50
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: thousand recoveries worldwide, pending cases two hundred and thirty plus thousand.

51
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: That's in a population of what seven going on eight

52
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: billion people. The numbers are actually quite small, and I

53
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: want to bring to your attention the most interesting analysis

54
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: of this that I have seen from a true epidemiologist,

55
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: a person who is honestly able to look at this

56
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: and not be not be terrified, not be overwhelmed by

57
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: the pressures of the moment, and see where this is

58
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: all really going. So this is something that's very important

59
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: for us. The economy is falling apart right now in

60
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: real time. I don't want to overstate this. I know

61
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: we're already dealing with a lot of anxiety. We already

62
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of problems with regard to unemployment. We

63
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: understand that this is going to aspire a lot of

64
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: control very quickly. But the President tweeted this out. We

65
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: cannot let the krebe worse than the problem. It's at

66
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: the end of the fifteen day period, we will make

67
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: a decision as to which way we want to go.

68
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: Okay that when this fifteen day period is over, America's

69
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: got to go back to work. We can't do this.

70
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: We simply cannot do this. It's not feasible. That's why

71
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: when I hear things like Governor Cuomo, who I do

72
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: think is trying to be an adult about this whole situation.

73
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: I think he's being responsible about this whole situation. When

74
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: I hear him say this, I'm disheartened because this is

75
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: not really an option, this is not really a possibility.

76
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: Here's what he says, play clip five. This is not

77
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: a short term situation. This is not a long weekend.

78
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: This is not a week The timeline nobody can tell you.

79
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: It depends on how we handle it. But up to

80
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the population will wind up getting this virus.

81
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: All we're trying to do is slow the spread, but

82
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: it will spread. It is that contagious again. That's nothing

83
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: to panic over. You saw the numbers, unless you're older

84
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: with an underlying illness, etc. It's something that you're going

85
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: to resolve, but it's going to work its way through.

86
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: Society will manage that capacity rate, but it is going

87
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: to be four months, six months, nine months. You look

88
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: at China once they really change the trajectory, we have

89
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: not done yet eight months. We're in that range. We're

90
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: not in that range because we can't be. And this

91
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: is what the President has woken up to this week.

92
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: People who understand the economy, who understand macroeconomics, or just

93
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: forget about macroeconomics, just common sense. What happens when people,

94
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, after being told they can't they're

95
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: not allowed, legally not allowed. You would be violating a

96
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: state mandate of quarantine if you try to open up

97
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: your bar, open up your small business. What happens when

98
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: those people feel like they're not just losing their businesses,

99
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: they can't feed their families. Twelve hundred dollars check from

100
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: the government here, twelve hundred dollars check from the government there.

101
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: That's not going to do it. That's not going to

102
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: cover everyone's expenses. What happens. Then the government has been

103
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: so reactive to this because I do think that the press,

104
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,119
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, I wish it were not the case,

105
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: but I do believe that the press is a portion

106
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: of them, are deeply pleased with the notion that now

107
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: Donald Trump faces a crisis that is a real crisis,

108
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: not like Russia collusion, not like the Ukraine phone call

109
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: and the impeachment fiasco and all the other things they

110
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: made up. You know, the emoluments clause and Trump is crazy,

111
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: and Trump sexually assaulted somebody, and a what do you

112
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: call it? A retail store, trying the department stores. We're

113
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: trying to think of all these crazy stories you've heard

114
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: it's all nonsense. Well, this is real, and there's a

115
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: lot there are a lot of people in the press

116
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: who like the fact that now they have a crisis

117
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: that they can bash Trump with. And we'll get into this.

118
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: This is real. I mean, the politics of this are

119
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: becoming very apparent. And I have to tell you, I

120
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: am really sick and tired of people in the media

121
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: and in positions of perception of authority right now, right

122
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: perceived authority, whether it's to give us information or it's

123
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: government officials. I've gotten really sick and tired of them

124
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: saying this isn't political, and then they go on to

125
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: say something grotesquely political, and I'm supposed to sit there

126
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: and go, Okay, well it's not political, so I'll just

127
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: let them keep doing what they're doing. The dishonesty here,

128
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: the lack of seriousness from the left and from the Libs,

129
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: is greatly concerning. It really is. But we have to

130
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: focus on the first order business here. Yeah, of course

131
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: the rescue package is delayed. I'll bring you up to

132
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: speed on that. Nancy Pelosi is a person of no ethics,

133
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: no integrity, no honor. That's not a surprise. Well knew

134
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: that people are suffering. The working class the Democrats pretend

135
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: to care so much about are the ones who are

136
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: suffering the most. They are in true fear for their livelihoods.

137
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: And small business owners are going to watch as everything

138
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: that they've built this appears. Do you think anyone's going

139
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: to write them a check for the restaurant that they

140
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: spent five ten years with their own hands, late nights,

141
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: tough months, scrimping, saving, doing everything they could to try

142
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: to keep it going. And finally they've got a good

143
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: customer base, they've got decent cash flow. You know, maybe

144
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: they're operating on five seven percent profit margin for all

145
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: their all their expenses year and year out, and that

146
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: shuts down. Guess what, the govern's not going to pay

147
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: you for that entity. The best thing that they could

148
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: possibly do is try at this point that they're talking

149
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: about is trying to help you keep payroll going for

150
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: a while, but you still have rent, you still have

151
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: other expenses, and it's just not going to work. We

152
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: all know this. So we've been so focused on is

153
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: this virus going to kill all of us? Basically that's

154
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: really been the perception and the answers. No, it's not

155
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: not even close. If we did absolutely nothing, if we

156
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: were running around high five in kissing each other, are

157
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: on the cheek, constantly gathering in large numbers, going on partying,

158
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: doing what these generations Z people, By the way, don't

159
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: blame this on the millennials, gen Z, I'm watching you

160
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: down on spring break. Millennials now are most of them

161
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: late twenties into their thirties, a lot of them are married,

162
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: a lot of them have kids, gen Z, was I

163
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: don't not letting them pull this gen z were the

164
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: ones that were doing shots of soco and lime and

165
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: Jagermeister down in Clearwater and wherever else. They were gathered

166
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: in Florida until they shut the beaches down there. But

167
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: now as when we start to recognize we can't keep

168
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: doing this, this doesn't work. The government isn't going to

169
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: be able to turn the economy back on because the

170
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: economy is going to be dead. And those who were

171
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: saying fuck this is about protecting life. I saw there

172
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: was a Cuomo line, I think from Friday, but it

173
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: might have been over the weekend, that he'll be happy

174
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: with all these measures if it's just one life. No,

175
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: that's a terrible idea. We accept that there are a

176
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: lot of things that we don't do that would save lives,

177
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: but the cost to the rest of our existence isn't

178
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: worth it. The one that everyone always points to is driving. Right,

179
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: thirty to forty thousand fatalities from driving in the United

180
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: States every year. Okay, but what are we supposed to

181
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: do about that? If we drove at twenty miles an

182
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: hour everywhere, there would probably be a hundreds instead of

183
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of vehicle fatalities, maybe a few thousand.

184
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: It would cut it down if the speed limit was

185
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: strictly enforced at twenty miles an hour. If somebody went

186
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: over twenty miles an hour, you take their car away.

187
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: You're gonna tell me that's not going to cut down.

188
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: But think about what that would be like to live.

189
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: What would that mean for commerce? What would that mean

190
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: for you getting home, you getting to work, you getting around?

191
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: Those are trade offs. We're going to have to have

192
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: a serious adult American conversation about the tradeoffs here. The

193
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: President has talked about this in the context of it

194
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: being a war, and I think that's a useful way

195
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: to speak about this. But we must remember that in

196
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: wars there are casualties, and I know we're already taking

197
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: some and every loved one that we lose. You know,

198
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: for every family where someone dives from virus, hits a tragedy.

199
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: But we also have to understand that for every family

200
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: where someone dies flu from H one and one from

201
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: heart failure, from cancer, from accidents in and around the home,

202
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: those are all tragedies too, just as tragic. We seem

203
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: to have frightened ourselves into a corner here, or we

204
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: think we have to do everything in anything, because we

205
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: have to make sure that there is a bare minimum

206
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: risk from this instead of a manageable risk from this.

207
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: Those are not the same thing. If we try this

208
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: bare minimum risk approach, we risk and we don't risk.

209
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: If we continue with this bare minimum risk approach, we're

210
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: going to destroy the United States economy and with it

211
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: there'll be civil disorder, riots in the streets, mass non compliance,

212
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: class warfare that actually starts to look like warfare. This

213
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: is going to get really ugly, and people's livelihoods, intergenerational

214
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: economic destruction, all of this will occur, and it's really

215
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: almost a near certainty if we continue on this current path.

216
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: The government is just running on money created by us.

217
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: The only reason the United States government is the powerhouse

218
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: it is is because of us economic activity. Right any

219
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: country can print money. The reason American money is so

220
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: valuable is because of the assets, the ingenuity, the capital,

221
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: human and otherwise. All of the United States of America

222
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: are industry, our commerce, our capitalism, our system. This is

223
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: why people trust us to pay our bills, this is

224
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: why we're the reserve currency, and we're now at risk

225
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: if we continue doing this, not just on the civil

226
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: disorder side, which I think is very apparent. We're also

227
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: effectively going to be running an experiment that would run

228
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: close to what you call modern monetary theory. I've talked

229
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: to you about this before. This is the AOC far

230
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: left wing Bernie Sanders economic advisor approach to an economy.

231
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: Don't worry, just write the check. Doesn't matter how big

232
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: it is, doesn't matter how bigger deficit is. Whatever you want,

233
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: whatever you think is a social good, right to check

234
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: for it, figure it out later. Just trying to manage

235
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: just quote, trying to manage inflation unquote right, that's what

236
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: they'll say. This is a way. The problem with inflation

237
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: is that usually when it sets in, it's very hard

238
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: for governments to deal with. And if inflation gets bad

239
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: quickly because the market is speaking, not just because policymakers

240
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: are saying one thing or another, guess what, then all

241
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: of a sudden you could have the complete annihilation of

242
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: an economy, which has happened in countries. We've seen this happened.

243
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: People who's talking about why mar Republic in Germany. You

244
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: look at Zimbabwe, look at what's going on in Venezuela.

245
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: These economies effectively barely exist. I mean they're back to

246
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: almost trade and barter because of what's been done to

247
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: their currency. We're going to start spending a trillion dollars here,

248
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: a trillion dollars there, on top of twenty two trillion

249
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: dollars of debt. The people who have been worried about

250
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: US debt being too high for decades, you were all correct.

251
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: You've always been correct. How many times have I said,

252
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: in short segments on this show in the last year,

253
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: those of you who have really been with me here

254
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: in the Hut, day in and day out, how many

255
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: times I said, Look, no one wants, no one cares,

256
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: but the debt's too high, and we all know it.

257
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: No one cares though things are good. I'm just telling

258
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: you it's too high, and I know people don't want

259
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: to hear about it. Well, now everyone's saying, wow, it

260
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: was kind of fiscally irresponsible to spend a trillion dollars

261
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: when the economy was a trillion dollars more than we

262
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: were taking in to run up the debt by a

263
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: trillion dollars a year. That was fiscally responsible when things

264
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: were rocking in the economy was great, and it was,

265
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: but nobody wanted to hear it. Nobody wants to believe

266
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: there's no Santa Claus, especially when they're politicians, to say,

267
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm Santa Claus. The Democrats. We can't keep

268
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: doing what we are doing right now for long. Maybe

269
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: maybe we could stretch this out into the next month,

270
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: maybe the middle of April, but right around what used

271
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: to be known as tax Day now it's been pushing

272
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: in July fifteenth, right around the middle of April. If

273
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: we have this complete shutdown of business in place, we

274
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: are looking at national we are looking at a national

275
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: economic suicide. We are heading for great depression. To a

276
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: thirty percent jobless rate is on the horizon. That's unsustainable

277
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: even in the short term. Can't do it. We have

278
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: been through pandemics before, we have been through wars before.

279
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: I think we've gotten very comfortable in American in this society,

280
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: thinking that we'll never have to make the tough choices again.

281
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: A tough choice is telling people to stay home. You know,

282
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: it's a really tough choice telling people that we're going

283
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: to put some measures in place, but we are going

284
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: to go to work and we're going to lose people

285
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: to this virus. But we're also not going to allow

286
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: the country to completely collapse. That is a really tough

287
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: choice that will require real leadership, and we have to

288
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: push them right now to do that. You're in the

289
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I

290
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: think it's part of my duty not just to inform

291
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: you about what's going on right now in the midst

292
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: of this true national crisis. I also think I need

293
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: to make the argument here, need to make the case

294
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: about why we can't continue these measures. And I understand

295
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: there will be costs. I understand this is going to

296
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: be very difficult, but I want to make the case today,

297
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: in this week. Why we're in week two of the

298
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: fifteen days, this is it. After this, we still practice

299
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: some sensible social distancing. We still take measures to protect

300
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: our vulnerable population, no question about it, tremendous expenditure of

301
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: resources at the personal and all throughout government level to

302
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: protect those who are the more vulnerable population. But a

303
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: lot of the rest of us need to be told

304
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: if you want to go in and work and you

305
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: want to try to conduct normal business, you are allowed

306
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: to do it, even though you are aware of the risks,

307
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: and there will be risks. Then we will lose people.

308
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: But as I've been saying, if this is a war,

309
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: we should expect that there will be losses. Then we

310
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: need to make policy based on what is best for

311
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: all of us, not what is best for eliminating risk,

312
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: because we can never do that. Thanks for listening to

313
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,

Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. I

315
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: want America to understand this week, it's going to get

316
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: bad and we really need to come together as a nation.

317
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: I heard the stories that you were just playing young

318
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: people out on beaches. We see here in DC that

319
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: the district set up a cam for people to watch

320
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: the cherry blossoms. If you look on the cam, you

321
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: see more people walking around than you see cherry blossoms.

322
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: And this is how the spread is occurring. And so

323
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: we really, really, I think that there are a lot

324
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: of people who are doing the right things, but I

325
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: think that unfortunately we're finding out a lot of people

326
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: think this can't happen to them when you look at

327
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: what's going on in New York. And we said this

328
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: at the beginning of our fifteen Days to Stop the

329
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: Spread initiative, that the numbers you see reflect what happens

330
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. We don't want Dallas or New Orleans

331
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: or Chicago to turn into the next New York. And

332
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: it means everyone needs to be taking the right steps

333
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: right now. And that means stay at home, okay for

334
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: two weeks. It's in doing enormous damage already the economy.

335
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: Let's understand that even even with a two week policy

336
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: in place like this of lockdown, we are risking massive

337
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: economic damage. And I want to tell you about that,

338
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: so we all understand we're heading right now. The estimates

339
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: are we're heading for a thirty percent joblessness rate if

340
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: we stay on this current course. Thirty percent. Anybody want

341
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: to guess what the jobless rate was in the Great

342
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: Depression twenty five percent. I don't even really think that

343
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: we're going to be able to snap back out of this.

344
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: We did not in nineteen eighteen have a total secession

345
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: of all activity in response to this, and then we

346
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: did historically. Just go back and look what happened after

347
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 1: nineteen eighteen nineteen nineteen, a period in America known as

348
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: the Roaring twenties. Tremendous growth, prosperity, relative peace didn't last

349
00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: too long overall, But the twenties were good. That's what happened,

350
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: and we lost millions of Americans in that circumstance. Now,

351
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: I understand millions of Americans right now. That would seem

352
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: to be too high a cost for anyone to bear.

353
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: But we have a much better healthcare system now than

354
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: we did then. We have much better treatments in general,

355
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: meaning ventilators, you know, much better procedures in place, perhaps

356
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: is the way to say it, than we did in

357
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: nineteen eighteen to help people that had interstitial pneumonia, which

358
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: is a very scary thing, and I understand that comes

359
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: with a lot of the very dangerous cases of this,

360
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: but we don't really have data to support the annihilation

361
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: of the US economy. By the way, I am going

362
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: to take the Democrats to task for what they've done

363
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: here with holding up this aid bill that everyone agrees

364
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: is needed. The Democrat the Democrat Party is a disgrace.

365
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: I mean, they are true national hostage takers. Pelosi and

366
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: Schumer are unethical, scummy, disgraceful people. I will get there,

367
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 1: but I want to focus to start out with on

368
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: right now, this key decision making the calculation about what

369
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: is acceptable for us in terms of losses and what

370
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: we need to do in order to get the economy

371
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: running again. By the way, the economy is not going

372
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: to be off to a gallop. That's not going to happen.

373
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, we need to get some stuff going here.

374
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: We need to get businesses moving to the degree that

375
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: we can, because otherwise there's not going to be an

376
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: economy to restart. Keeping this shutdown going as is much

377
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: longer than this week. And I've given member I said,

378
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: the fifteen days. Fine, that's what they say they need

379
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: to get ready for this. Fifteen days that does That's

380
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: not four months, it's not even thirty days. So the President,

381
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: I think understands us. He knows the status quo cannot hold.

382
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: I am seeing all these messages from people and hearing

383
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: from people everywhere that they're going to lose everything. People

384
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: put their hearts, their lives, their heart and soul, everything

385
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: into building a career, building a business, saving up some money,

386
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: trying to make sure they're up with their bills. What

387
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: happens now, the confederal Government's not going to make anybody

388
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: whole whose business is gone. It's not going to happen.

389
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: You can't just rehire all the people that have been

390
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: fired as businesses have closed down. Think about all the

391
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: time it'll just take to untangle the insurance claims they

392
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: are going to come out of this. All the lawyered

393
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: up bureaucratic minut show that this is going to go.

394
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just going to be a mess, a mess,

395
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: and America is going to have to go to work

396
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: very soon. Because even if that means there are more

397
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: casualties from COVID nineteen than would occur into this continued

398
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: extreme shutdown, it doesn't matter. And this is a hard

399
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: thing to say, but it is reality and we need

400
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: to accept it and act on it. Now. I could

401
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: die from COVID nineteen. Anyone listening to this could also

402
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: die from COVID nineteen. And no matter what the government does,

403
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: that is not going to change. We are simply trying

404
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: to deal with risk, risk management, which bureaucracies are notoriously

405
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: that at doing. And a lot of that risk management

406
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: is on an individual level. What are you willing to do?

407
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: What do you think is safe for you? Now? Part

408
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: of that risk management has to be what does the

409
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: country look like if we just go into this this

410
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: state of hibernation. I mean, this is economic hibernation, and

411
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: then we try to revive ourselves in three months or

412
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: six months. Now, I do think that the warmer period

413
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: ahead will be a godsend, and that alone based on

414
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: what we see, and experts are saying this too, so

415
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: I'll be like, fuck, you're not an epidemiologist. I'm reading

416
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: people who all they do is study this, and they're saying, Look,

417
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: it would be strange if there was not a dramatic

418
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: slowdown in this virus just from the change in seasonal temperature.

419
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: But when you see things like this, I mean, you've

420
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: got GDP predictions for the second quarter, according to Goldman Sachs,

421
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: range from horrible down eight percent to catastrophic down fifteen percent.

422
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: But Goldman Sachs actually just came out with a new

423
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: research note this week. Now you might say, oh, Goldben Sacks, Yeah,

424
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: but they're trying to assess what's happening to people's money.

425
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: Trust me, Goldman Sachs cares about money. A research note

426
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: with a project projection for GDP loss in the second

427
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: quarter of twenty twenty suggest Golden Sacks believes that the

428
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: United States GDP will be down twenty four percent. We

429
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: can't do this. We can't do this. We can't do

430
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: that because even if you look at the possibility of

431
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: hundreds and remember we've only lost in total right now

432
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: in the United States, while we're in the hundreds of

433
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: people who have been killed by this virus. If we

434
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: lost hundreds of thousands of people from this, it would

435
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: be similar to a very bad flu season, right, I mean,

436
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: if we lost let say, one hundred thousand people. You've

437
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: had up to sixty seventy thousand from the flu, and

438
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: no one even really talked much about it, and h

439
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: one n one infected tens of millions, and people say,

440
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: don't be a flu truther, not a flu truth We're

441
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: trying to assess real risk here. You can go out

442
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: and get the flu during flu season in particularly, you

443
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: can go out and get the flu and come home.

444
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: And that's all she wrote. No matter who you are,

445
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 1: it can shut down your system. If you catch a

446
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: bad flu, you can die from it. Fact, do you

447
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: not leave your home? Do you insist that no one

448
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: else leave their home? Do you have the government telling

449
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: you that, WHOA, we can't have the loss of fifty

450
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: thousand people this year from flu? So no one's allowed

451
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: to do anything. That's what we're doing right now. And

452
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: I understand I've seen all the scary stuff about it, LA.

453
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: I've seen, yeah, but we have two weeks of preparation

454
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: here to get masks in everything in place. We have

455
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: had social distancing. People are taking it in many places

456
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: more seriously. I'm here in the epicenter, by the way,

457
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: I'm here in New York City, which has by far

458
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: the greatest concentration of cases a New York state, because

459
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: of New York City is a state that is worst

460
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: has been the worst hit by this. I mean cases

461
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 1: in New York twenty eight hundred and seventy five, one

462
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty seven. We've had four hundred and sixty

463
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: three total deaths from this so far. We've had more

464
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: people die while this has been going on. We've had

465
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: more people die from the flu than I've died from this.

466
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: That's the fact, meaning that while COVID has been spreading

467
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: the United States, more people have died from flu. Now

468
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: people can say, oh, it's worse than the flu and

469
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: higher mortality. Those people don't know what the mortality is.

470
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: Stop with the panic. We we have to present facts

471
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: and rationality here. We can't do this based on emotion.

472
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: No one wants anyone to die of any disease in

473
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: this country, but trying to ensure an almost zero risk

474
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: factor for people could create much worse risks for everybody,

475
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: systemic risks. Think about how many people die from suicide

476
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: from untreated illness because the medical system will be a

477
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: fraction of what it used to be, because people will

478
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: be out of work. Who makes the masks, who makes

479
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: the ventilators, all the things that are doctors and God

480
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: bless our doctors, nurses, first responders, everybody who's on the

481
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: front lines of this, but all the tools that they

482
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: use to fight against us come from the private sector,

483
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: comes from commerce and business and industry. We need those

484
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: things to keep working, or else we're not going to

485
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: have a medical sector to speak of. We're not going

486
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: to be able to fight against other diseases too. So

487
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: this is why I think it's so important right now

488
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: that we all understand there needs to be a shift

489
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: in the national mindset on this. We need people to

490
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: be able to go back to work. We need social

491
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: distancing to be a standard. We need elderly populations and

492
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: those with compromise immune systems to be on lockdown. But

493
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: the government has to wake up. This is not an option.

494
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: What they think is an option. Three months, six months,

495
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: nine month is not an option. It's catastrophe. And we're

496
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: still going to have a lot of people get sick

497
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: and still gonna have a lot of people die from

498
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: from COVID nineteen. No matter what, it's not going to change.

499
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: So we really just have to look at what is acceptable,

500
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: and at some point that's going to be having a

501
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: conversation about usualties, just as you would in any war.

502
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: A war isn't worth fighting for, you know, you talk

503
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: about a war of self defense, even a war of

504
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: self defense. At a certain point, if your casualties are

505
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: too high, you'll just capitulate. Fine, the other side wins.

506
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: That's what ends up happening in a war. Right now,

507
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: we can't capitulate against a virus. But in any wartime scenario,

508
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: you're looking at the number of casualties and you're making

509
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: decisions and assessments understanding that there will be casualties that's

510
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: going to happen, and you're trying to just assess what

511
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: are acceptable numbers of that we are going to suffer

512
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: casualties from COVID nineteen. We already have suffered a few hundred,

513
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: which I'm going to walk you through the numbers on this,

514
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: and I think you'll see. And not from me, this

515
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: is from an epidemiologist at Stanford University School of Medicine,

516
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: one of the premier medical schools in the country, in

517
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: the world, and I'll walk you through point by point

518
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: what he is saying about this, because I think we

519
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: have the we are over we are overreacting. If we

520
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: extend this shutdown of business beyond this week. That's where

521
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: I am. And all I do is think about this.

522
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: All I do is read about this, talk to the

523
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: smartest people I know, and I'm just not seeing the

524
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: case for this continued shutdown. I'm not seeing the case

525
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: for this to extend beyond where we already are. And

526
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: I am really you know, I'm not terrified of us

527
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: against coronavirus. We'll win, We'll get through it. I do

528
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: get scared when we start to see the government thinking, yeah,

529
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna have extra judicial detainment authority, which there are

530
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: reports that are asking for in certain circumstances regarding quarantine,

531
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: and we're gonna shut down businesses We're going to deploy

532
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, government resources of force, police, deputizing people at

533
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: the state level, making sure that all these mandates are enforced,

534
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: that you know, GPS tracking of individuals with this starts

535
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: to get scary real quick. And the thing that scared

536
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: me than this virus is the government mishandling this and

537
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: destroying the entire United States economy and taking the constitution

538
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: down with it. That's now the enemy that we face

539
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: in addition to the virus. You're in the Freedom Hunt.

540
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I was in

541
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: New York City yesterday. It was a pretty day. There

542
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: is a density level in New York City that is

543
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: wholly inappropriate. You would think there was nothing going on

544
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: in parts of New York City. You would think it

545
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: was just a brighton sunny Saturday. I don't know what

546
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying that people don't get. I'm normally accused of

547
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: being overly blunt and director, and I take that it's true.

548
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're not understanding. This is not

549
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: life as usual. None of this is life as usual.

550
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: And this kind of density. We talked about social distancing.

551
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: I was in these parks. You would not you would

552
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: not know that anything was going on. This is just

553
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: a mistake. It's a MISTAKEE. It's insensitive, it's arrogant, it's

554
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: self destructive, it's disrespectful to other people. And it has

555
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: to stop, and it has to stop now. Now. I

556
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: can't speak to what Cuomo saw in parks, but I

557
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: can speak to being out in New York yesterday walking

558
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: on the street, which you are allowed to do. I

559
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: was walking the dog to Lula. It's very cute. She

560
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: knows something's up to she knows the humans do not

561
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: seem to be in good moods these days. But I

562
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: took her on a walk all through some of the

563
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: most from Midtown down to what you consider to be

564
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: the start of Flat Iron, which is before the village

565
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: in New York City. These are I'm bringing it up

566
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: just because these are the most densely packed parts of

567
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: New York. Usually there's a ghost town. There's nobody in

568
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: the streets. I walk through areas that would usually be

569
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: just bumping with people out to brunch and bars and

570
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 1: you know, watching the game. I know there's no games

571
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: right now. I went to Madison Square Park, one of

572
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: my favorite parks in New York, formerly where Madison Square Garden,

573
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: the place where the Knicks and the Rangers play used

574
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: to be. And I went to check this out, and

575
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, yeah, there were some people on the streets,

576
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: but it was not packed. And what I saw was

577
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: a lot of businesses shut down that they rely on

578
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: people coming in on Sundays to buy things, to get food,

579
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: to just engage in commerce. Shutdowns everywhere all of the

580
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: city because the initial guidance about the mandate about this

581
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: went into effect. So I can't speak to what's going

582
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: on in Prospect Park out in Brooklyn or whatever, but

583
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: I can speak to this is really scary. I mean,

584
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: the city should not be shut down in this way

585
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: for long because it's not going to survive it. And

586
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: I know that for a lot of you are like, oh, buck,

587
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: this isn't really this doesn't really affect us out here.

588
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: There are going to be more outbreaks in other states,

589
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: and they're going to be clusters of this, so you

590
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: never know when this is going to hit. But also

591
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: understand that, you know, if things get bad enough in

592
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: New York City, that has an effect not just on

593
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: the national economy, but also people are going to start

594
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: trying to leave New York to go to other places,

595
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: and what are we going to have? Then? You know

596
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: people are gonna want to go. They've already been doing this,

597
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: They're already been trying to find places to seek refuge

598
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: in other states, you know, Vermont, Hampshire, more rural parts

599
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: of Connecticut. So that's already happening. If New York starts

600
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: to get out of control of guess what, you're going

601
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: to have people that are trying to do everything they

602
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: can to leave. What are gonna do. You're gonna tell them,

603
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: no cars in the roads, no one's allowed to go anywhere.

604
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: So I didn't see that the New York that Cuomo did. There.

605
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: I saw one that's on. I saw New York City

606
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: on life support this weekend, on a beautiful spring weekend.

607
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: Life support. That's what I saw. Thanks for listening to

610
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: We have to help the American worker. We have to

611
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: help the countries from which the American workers. I mean

612
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: they came out of these companies. They were doing phenomenally well.

613
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: You see where payroll was going way up where wages

614
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: were going way way up. There's never been a time

615
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: like this. We can't lose those companies, and we want

616
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: the worker to be happy, and we're being I think,

617
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: more generous than anybody's ever been. We want to take

618
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: care of the worker, but we want to make sure

619
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: that when we win the war, it's only a question

620
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: of it's when, not if. When we win the war

621
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: against the virus, we want to make sure those companies

622
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: are ready to charge forward, not that they've been disbanded

623
00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: because we were pennywise and dollar foolish. They're trying to

624
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 1: keep businesses open as long as they can by sending

625
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: them checks. That's the idea. The federal government's going to

626
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: try to give them money I will get into the

627
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: response package, and the Democrats efforts to just leverage it

628
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,240
Speaker 1: at the eleventh hour for maximum part as in political benefit.

629
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an abject disgrace. It's absolutely disgusting what's

630
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: going on. But here first, I want to walk you

631
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: through this analysis from Professor John Ianidis, who has put

632
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: a piece out. We are making decisions without reliable data. Now,

633
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: this guy is professor of medicine and professor of Epidemiology

634
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: and Population Health at Stanford University School of Medicine. And

635
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: he's not alone in this thinking, but I mean he's

636
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: he's as credential the person as you're going to find

637
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: on this topic, basically, and here's what he said. I mean,

638
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: this is my point. And by the way, I'm also

639
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: I'm now getting attacked by the left for saying that

640
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: we have to go back to work, even if it

641
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 1: means that we would suffer a higher casualty rate than

642
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 1: a multi month lockdown. And their homny deaths are okay.

643
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: These people are morons, their disgrace, and they don't understand

644
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: that we make these decisions just as I was telling

645
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: the last time, we make policy decisions where we know

646
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: they'll be casualties all the time. We are heading into

647
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: a great depression unless we stop this. We cannot keep

648
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: doing this. I know everyone's all scared and they're terrified.

649
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 1: They're petrified. We are heading into a great depression unless

650
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: we stop this. So that's the President's basically said as much.

651
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: But I'm getting the sense that there are some people

652
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: who think that they're going to stop him from doing

653
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: They're going at the state level, they're gonna keep this

654
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: going or they're going to manage to convince the President

655
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: that we need to have this forever. Let me go

656
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: back to what is the real risk here? What is

657
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 1: the real what is the real data? Say? And here's

658
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: what you get. Professor John Unitis has the following to

659
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: add to this. The data, the data collected so far

660
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: on how many people are infected and how the epidemic

661
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: is evolving are utterly unreliable. Given the limited testing to date,

662
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: some deaths and probably the vast majority of infections due

663
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: to SARS cove two are being missed. We don't know

664
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: if we are failing to capture infections by a factor

665
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: of three or three hundred three months after the outbreak emerged.

666
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: Most countries, including the US, lack the ability to test

667
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: a large number of people, and no countries have reliable

668
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: data on the prevalence of the virus and representative random

669
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: sample of the general population. So we don't know. We

670
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: don't know what the mortality rate is, We don't know

671
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: how many infections there are out there, not even close

672
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: to how many infections are out there. And one of

673
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: the major reasons that I've been saying this along for

674
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: the overreaction has been. People assume that we have a

675
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: fatality rate that's at least ten times some are initially

676
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: setting I think more like fifty times what you have

677
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: for the flu. Well, that scares people understandably, But we

678
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: have a case study here where you have effectively almost

679
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: a control that it's not a controlled experiment, but a

680
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: contained environment for an experiment in real time. The Diamond

681
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: Princess case study. The one situation where an entire closed

682
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: population was tested was the Diamond Princess cruise ship and

683
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: its quarantine passengers. This is all from this piece by

684
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: the professor at Stanford. The case fatality rate there was

685
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: one percent, but this was a largely elderly population in

686
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: which the death rate from COVID nineteen is much higher.

687
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: Projecting the Diamond Princess mortality rate onto the age structure

688
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: of the US population, the death rate among people infected

689
00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: with COVID nineteen would be point one two five ent.

690
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: But since this estimate is based on extremely thin data

691
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: there were just seven deaths among the seven hundred infected

692
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: passengers and crew, the real death rate could stretch from

693
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: five times lower point zero to five percent to five

694
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: times higher point six to five percent It is also

695
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: possible that some of the passengers who were infected might

696
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: die later, and that tourists may have different frequencies of

697
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: chronic diseases, a risk factor for worse outcomes with SARS

698
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: cove to infection than the general population. Adding these extra

699
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: sources of uncertainty, reasonable estimates for the case fatality ratio

700
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,479
Speaker 1: in the general US population vary from point zero five

701
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: percent to one percent. That huge range markedly affects how

702
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: severe the pandemic is and what should be done. A

703
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: population of point zero five percent rather to one percent,

704
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: a population wide case fatality rate of point zero five

705
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: sin is lower than seasonal influenza. If that is the

706
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: true rate, locking down the world with potentially tremendous social

707
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: and financial consequences may be totally irrational. It's like an

708
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: elephant being attacked by a house cat. Frustrated and trying

709
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 1: to avoid the cat, the elephant accidentally jumps off a

710
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: cliff and dies. This is what I am trying to say,

711
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 1: And by the way, I mean, I'm being attack now

712
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: on social media, on Twitter and else where. Are just

713
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: just psychotically by the left for making exactly this point.

714
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Look, we have to go back to work,

715
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: even if it means that there would be a greater

716
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: incidence of infection, and with that there will be a

717
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: greater loss of life than if we continue in complete

718
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: lockdown mode for I don't know six months, but we can't.

719
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: The country can't sustain, and people will their lives will

720
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: be ruining, people will die. That's what's going to happen

721
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: from the depression that will come from this. And I

722
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: feel like some especially these like work from home journo types,

723
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, and people that are in the information economy

724
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: and they're used to teleworking, and they feel like, you know,

725
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: they've got savings for six months or a year. They

726
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: seem to think this isn't that big a deal. We

727
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: are on the precipice of really scary stuff if this continues.

728
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: And I look, I know me, I'm not trying to fearmonger,

729
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: but I feel like, Okay, now we take the virus seriously,

730
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 1: we need to take the possibility of a depression seriously too.

731
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: He continues, by the way, with this analysis, which I

732
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 1: think is essential for everybody to know. Could the COVID

733
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: nineteen case fatality rate be that low? No, some say,

734
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: pointing to the high rate and elderly people people. However,

735
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: even some so called mild or common cold type coronaviruses

736
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: that have been known for decades can have a case

737
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: fatality rate as high as eight percent when they infect

738
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: elderly people in nursing homes. In fact, such mild coronaviruses

739
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: infect tens of millions of people every year and account

740
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: for three to eleven percent of those hospitalized in the

741
00:43:55,360 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: US with lower respiratory infections each winter. So what he's

742
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: saying here is that even you know, among the elderly population,

743
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: coronaviruses that are more similar to a common coal not

744
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: this coronavir not COVID nineteen, but other coronaviruses. It's known

745
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: for a long time if they get into the elderly population,

746
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: they can kill as many as eight percent of the elderly.

747
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: So he says, these mild corona. Remember this is a

748
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: professor of disease and epidemiology at Stanford Medical School. This

749
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: is all he does. This is his entire life's work

750
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: has been on this issue. He's saying that among the elderly,

751
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: you could have an eight percent fatality rate for a

752
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: standard coronavirus not COVID nineteen. He also so he's saying

753
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: that not only is that a higher rate than a

754
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 1: lot of people are talking about, now, he's saying, COVID

755
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: viruses kill people all the time. We have no idea

756
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 1: what the true number is. I'm sorry, coronaviruses, not covid viruses, coronaviruses.

757
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 1: Here's where he gives you some details on this. In

758
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: an autopsy series that tested for respiratory viruses and specimens

759
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: from fifty seven elderly persons who die during the twenty

760
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:12,720
Speaker 1: sixteen to twenty seventeen influenza season. Influenza viruses were detected

761
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: in eighteen percent of the specimens, while any kind of

762
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: respiratory virus was found in forty seven percent. In some

763
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: people who die. In some people who die from viral

764
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: respiratory pathogens, more than one virus is found upon autopsy,

765
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: and bacteria are often superimposed. A positive test for coronavirus

766
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: does not mean necessarily that this virus is always primarily

767
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: responsible for a patient's demise. So this then goes again

768
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: to we don't even know. Just because somebody has coronavirus

769
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: when they die, it doesn't even mean that that necessarily

770
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: is the reason for that death? Based upon what we

771
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: see from looking at the twenty sixteen twenty seven flu season,

772
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: where there can be a number of a number of

773
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: factors and a number of different viruses at play at

774
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: any point in time, what is the mortality rate? If

775
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: we assume the case fatality rate among individuals infected by

776
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: sarus curve two is point three percent in the general

777
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: population a mid range guests from the Diamond Princess analysis,

778
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: and that one percent of the US population gets infected,

779
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: about three point three million people, This would translate to

780
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: about ten thousand deaths. This sounds like a huge number,

781
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: but it is buried within the noise of the estimates

782
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: of death from influenza alike illness. If we had not

783
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: known about a new virus out there and had not

784
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: checked individuals with PCR tests, the total number of new

785
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: deaths due to influenza alike illness would not seem unusual

786
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: this year. Are we sure that flattening the curve is

787
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 1: that much better? As another point than he raises, if

788
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 1: the health system does become overwhelmed, the majority the extra

789
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: deaths may not be due to coronavirus, but to other

790
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 1: common diseases and conditions such as heart attack, strokes, traum

791
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: and bleeding. If the level of the epidemic does overwhelm

792
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: the health system, extreme measures have only modest effectiveness. Flattening

793
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: the curve may make things worse. Instead of being overwhelmed

794
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: during a short acute phase, the health system will remain

795
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: overwhelmed for a more protracted period. That's another reason we

796
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: need to think about the exact level of activity. And

797
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: then he basically says that, and this is what I've

798
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: been saying. This could lead to riots, this could even

799
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 1: lead again. I'm not trying to be alarm ast, folks.

800
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna be okay. I know that today I'm a

801
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: little more dark on this topic than I've been in

802
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 1: a while. But I'm seeing that, you know, the economic

803
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: data doesn't lie. I mean, there's a graph going around

804
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:35,479
Speaker 1: right now about unemployment and unemployment after two thousand, after

805
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight crisis, or during the two

806
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 1: thousand and eight financial crisis, versus unemployment now. And yeah,

807
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: that's where we are. We're seeing I think six hundred

808
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: thousand was a number that I saw in this graph,

809
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: and one week it's astonishing. The unemployment spike. I mean

810
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: it's it's a graph, and then all of a sudden,

811
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: there's this huge hockey stick like projection that just goes

812
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: straight up for unemployment, and we're what in week two

813
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: of the extreme shutdown measures. He also says when we

814
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 1: could we could end up making this, meaning that government

815
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: could end up making this worse than the nineteen eighteen

816
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,720
Speaker 1: influence a pandemic. With lockdowns of months, if not years,

817
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: life largely stops. Short term and long term consequences are

818
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,959
Speaker 1: entirely unknown, and billions, not just millions of lives maybe

819
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: eventually at stake. One can only hope that much like

820
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighteen, life will continue. Conversely, with lockdowns of months,

821
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: if not years, life largely stops. The long term consequences

822
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: of this could end up killing more people. That's where

823
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: we are and that's the reality. So everyone needs to

824
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: wake up to that right now. And that means that

825
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 1: trying to limit the risk to as close to zero

826
00:48:52,960 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: as possible of people getting this that's going to become counterproductive.

827
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: We're going to reach a point at which that's no

828
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: longer possible. I'm not saying we're there already. I've said

829
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: fifteen days fine, but this is where the situation stands

830
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 1: right now. We have to get America back to work,

831
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 1: not in months, in weeks, and really within two weeks,

832
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: I think is the goal should be. That doesn't mean

833
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: that there's not social distancing. It doesn't mean that we

834
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: don't do a lot of things wash the hands, protect

835
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 1: the vulnerable elderly population, those individuals, people that are more

836
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: vulnerable should be given additional special resources and protections. And

837
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: we all understand everyone is paying attention to what's going

838
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: on in this country that we need to protect our

839
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: vulnerable populations. But that's where we are. We have to

840
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 1: do something to get the economy going again, or else

841
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: that is going to become a bigger threat to this

842
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: country than this virus. That's where we are right now,

843
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: according to experts who are looking at it. I don't

844
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: know what else to say. I'm just trying to spread

845
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: what I think is the most necessary information for decision making.

846
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: Right now. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the

847
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Do you think it'll be wrapped

848
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 1: up by Monday? Well, I hope it is. Where I'm

849
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: having good bipartisan agreements. The initial bill leader McConnell put

850
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: In didn't have any Democratic input, and we were worried

851
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: they would just try to put it on the floor

852
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: and not consultant Speaker Pelosi because the House still has

853
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: to pass this. But actually, to my delight and surprise,

854
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: there has been a great deal of bipartisan cooperation thus far. Yeah,

855
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: even the President was speaking very positively about you, and

856
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: hasn't happened very often, even Speaker Pelosi. And what was

857
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 1: the thanks that the President got for that and other

858
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:51,320
Speaker 1: Republicans for working with Democrats like Schumer for days in

859
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: a bipartisan way to try to get a bill passed

860
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: that would help with the situation. The Democrats were involved

861
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: in the very beginning. This should be right, We should

862
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: be all set. What happened last night at the eleventh hour,

863
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean it almost was the eleventh hour. I don't

864
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: know what the time was, but what happened last night,

865
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: Oh Nancy Pelosi showed up and all of a sudden said, now,

866
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: no bipartisan bill. I'm going to start a new bill.

867
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: And the Democrats in the Senate went along with it.

868
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: Wouldn't let the cloture vote happen, wouldn't let the Senate

869
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: vote on a trillion dollar plus relief package. Right, that's

870
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: exactly what happened, that they were involved Schumer and the Democrats.

871
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: But I mean, the left is completely insane. The bipartisan

872
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: facade has been breaking down very quickly on this. I mean,

873
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: leftists are totalitarians and they're vicious, So even in a pandemic,

874
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: they don't stop being vicious totalitarians. A lot of us

875
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: are trying to talk about solutions and what's best for everybody,

876
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: trying to save as many people as possible while also

877
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: preventing the depression that will destroy the country and end

878
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: up killing who knows how many people. We like to

879
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: think that we can have a bipartisan conversation about something

880
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: of this seriousness. But leftists are insane. They're insane with

881
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: their hatred of Trump, but also they have a vicious

882
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: totalitarian impulse that they absolutely cannot put aside. Right, they

883
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: want to control everything has to be their way, and

884
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: you see this with Democrats, with Pelosi. What do you

885
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: think is the thing that they absolutely want to make

886
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: sure they get funding for. I mean, I know that

887
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: they've just decided. I think it was They're they're trying

888
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: to limit I think elective procedures like abortions right now. Oh,

889
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: just give it time. I'm sure there'll be a federal

890
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: judge because all medical elective procedures right now are being

891
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 1: put on hold. Is an abortion an elective procedure? Ask

892
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: a Democrat that, oh, it's not elective. It's like they'd

893
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: say it's life saving, it's life ending. But Pelosi came

894
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: in and is going to have a whole I'm sure,

895
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: a laundry list of things that she wants that have

896
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: nothing to do with saving anybody from this pandemic, have

897
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: nothing to do with just helping the American people. It's

898
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: Pelosi holding the American economy hostage right now. I mean,

899
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:11,280
Speaker 1: the market is now below the Dow is below nineteen thousand,

900
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: plummeting again today. Okay, it was at thirty thousand a

901
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. The market's getting absolutely crushed and people

902
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 1: are losing money, and you know, there's there's real pain here.

903
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: Pelosi doesn't care. Let's just say Pelosi is an unethical

904
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: and nasty person. She is. It doesn't affect her at all.

905
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: She's gonna keep getting money. She's going to keep getting

906
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, the millions and millions of dollars. You know,

907
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: as long as she has access to her bank accounts

908
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: probably you know, foreign and domestic, she's good. You know, whatever,

909
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: whatever she needs, she's got, she's covered. It doesn't really

910
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: matter to her. He lives in a mansion. You know.

911
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: Some of this is bouncing around Congress. Anyone can get

912
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 1: this anywhere. We know that you've got five Republican senators

913
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: out of action right now. Senator Ran Paul actually is

914
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: positive for this for COVID nineteen. He's asymptomatic. Merkel, the

915
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: Chancellor of Germany, she is in self quarantine right now.

916
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,959
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean politicians are subject to this as well.

917
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 1: But Pelosi seems to lack a fundamental appreciation for the

918
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: severity and the seriousness of the economic moment right now.

919
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 1: And this is just another example of the Democrats even now,

920
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: can't stop playing politics even now. Thanks for listening to

921
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 1: The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast,

922
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Shure

923
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: at a time when the country is crying out from

924
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:45,479
Speaker 1: bipartisanship and cooperation, and we saw that over the last

925
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: forty eight hours when regular members of the Senate, not

926
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: in the leadership office, not in the Speaker's office. For

927
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: good to say she's a Speaker of the House, I'll

928
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: the speaker of the Senate. We don't have one. We

929
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: were doing just fine until that intervention. So I want

930
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: the American people to fully understand what's go on on here.

931
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: The markets are already reacting to this outrageous nonsense. We

932
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: have an obligation to the American people to deal with

933
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 1: this emergency and to deal with it tomorrow. And if

934
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,919
Speaker 1: we don't, I want everybody to fully understand. You're saying

935
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,879
Speaker 1: everybody who's own record, I'm conspicuously avoided trying to turn

936
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: this into any kind of partisan effort for two days.

937
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: But it's pretty clear what's going on here. Yes it is.

938
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard Mitch McConnell get that upset about

939
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 1: really anything? And this is just a betrayal. It's a

940
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 1: betrayal not just of the bipartisan effort that was going on.

941
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: Remember Schumer, I played that clippery that was from last week.

942
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: He's saying, we're working with Republicans, it's good, we're on this,

943
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: We're going to take care of this. Then Nancy Pelosi

944
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 1: shows up she's like, nope, let's hold them hostage and

945
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: the Democrats in the cenacle. Yeah, fine, that sounds good.

946
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell's upset because it's also a betrayal of the

947
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: American people. I mean, the country is going to be

948
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: increasingly politically combustible here, meaning that we're not going to

949
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: just you know, continue to say, oh, well, well, you know,

950
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: political leadership is on this and they're working on it,

951
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: and you know they'll take care of us. Politicians haven't

952
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: missed a paycheck. Politicians don't plan on missing a paycheck.

953
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 1: Most members of the media, and look, you know, for now,

954
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: even members of the conservative media. We're in that fortunate

955
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,479
Speaker 1: those of us who can work from home or write

956
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: from home, or do whatever it is that we can

957
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 1: do remotely. You know. So far, media organizations are keeping

958
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: up with business, they're keeping going. But by and large,

959
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:35,359
Speaker 1: I mean this is this isn't going to continue either.

960
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: You need businesses, you need you know, do you watch

961
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, cable news shows and they've got sponsors. You know,

962
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: they've got car companies and Starbucks, and if everything shut down,

963
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: the sponsorships are going to go away. Two folks, you

964
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: know that this is where we are. Everyone's going to

965
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: be affected by this and in ways that they can't

966
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: even begin to really accurately gauge. And in that environment,

967
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: Pelosi is doing this. It is a complete, a complete disgrace.

968
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: The Senate bill was a bipartisan bill, it had Democrat

969
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: input from the very beginning, and Pelosi just saunters in

970
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, yeah, this is debor we're

971
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 1: gonna do. We're gonna do it. I would. And you

972
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: have to look at this and say, when do we

973
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: get to call Pelosi out for just being a disgraceful

974
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: and unethical person. The delay here matters. You know, we

975
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: keep hearing about how the timing matters for fighting against

976
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, it matters for getting masks, it matters for

977
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: any five wrestiers. The delay matters, and it also matters

978
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: for the economy. We don't have days and days to

979
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: wait here. I mean, people are making decisions, they're shutting

980
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: businesses down. Bad stuff is happening in real time. And

981
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: she just also, what does this mean about the confidence

982
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: we could have in any part of the legislative ability

983
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: to fix this right now at any point in time. Nancy,

984
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 1: you can just throw a fit and the Democrats will

985
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: go along with her Democrats in the Senate. She's not

986
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: the speaker of the Senate. It was Senate Democrats that

987
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: took their marching orders from Nancy on this, and I

988
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: saw a friend of mine from Capel Hill tweeted this out,

989
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: Josh Holmes, you said, the Democrat filibuster of Corona relief

990
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: is the single most irresponsible act I've seen in twenty

991
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: years of being around the Senate. God hope the Americans

992
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 1: who've livelihoods will be irreparably damaged tomorrow as a result.

993
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: The anger is going to rise, my friends, and the

994
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: anger is going to start rising toward people who don't

995
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: understand how painful this is for a lot of folks

996
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: out there who are losing everything, who are losing businesses,

997
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: losing livelihoods, losing life savings, losing hope, losing a future.

998
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: There's more than just a virus to fight against here.

999
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: We all know that, or at least we should. And

1000
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: it's just it's troubling today having leftists come after me

1001
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to make the case that we need

1002
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: to balance this out. It can't be whatever we do

1003
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: to stop the virus is inherently justified because at some

1004
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: point you cross, you know, on the axis here of

1005
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: how many people are you losing and how much are

1006
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: you losing in American society, you cross the point at

1007
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: which you're unwilling to continue with the lockdown because you

1008
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: realize that the loss is in every other regard are

1009
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: too much. It's just it's just, you know, troubling to see.

1010
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: I mean, look, leftists are contemptible people in general. I

1011
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: would like to do everything possible to save everybody I

1012
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 1: can across the country, and not that I can, that

1013
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: we can as a government and as a people across

1014
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: the country. And yet leftists continue to be contemptible, even

1015
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 1: of those of us who are really trying to approach

1016
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: this in good faith and push for wise decision making,

1017
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: wise policy. And as I've said to you, I'm right,

1018
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm not just in the middle of you know, I'm

1019
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: not just in New York State or in New York City.

1020
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of New York City, the greatest

1021
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: concentration of COVID nineteen anywhere in the United States. The

1022
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: United States now has the third most cases in the world.

1023
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: And I'm saying, look, we have to find a compromise here.

1024
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: We have to find a balance between the acceptable risk

1025
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: and the damage done to the economy. That's where we

1026
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: are right now, and the government's trying to figure this

1027
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: out too, which I think is part of why you

1028
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: have not seen at least yet the President come forward,

1029
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: and I mean, as I go to air here, he

1030
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: has not yet done a press conference. I saw Cuomo's

1031
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: press conference this morning. But the Democrats playing a game

1032
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: at this point is something that nobody should ever forget.

1033
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Nancy Pelosi is somebody who she

1034
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: sees power, she sees advantage, she sees the ability to

1035
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: exercise leverage over the other side, doesn't matter how desperate

1036
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 1: the situation. In fact, that the more desperate the situation,

1037
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: the better. The more desperate the circumstance, the more she

1038
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: feels like she's able to get her way because she'll

1039
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: play as dirty as she has to play. And this

1040
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 1: is why you're going to see all this stuff that

1041
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: the Democrats in the House caving to the insane left

1042
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: wing of the House Democrats, which these people are nuts,

1043
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: and there's some people that are still, Oh, we shouldn't

1044
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: lose sight of the throat of climate change. Well, this

1045
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: is going on. These people are lunatics, But the Democrat

1046
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: left still has a lot of influence over the party

1047
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: and still has a lot of say, even over the

1048
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: leadership at the party, like Nancy Pelosi, and so she's

1049
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: willing to make this decision. She's willing to cave to them,

1050
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: and it's just it's appalling. I mean, I'm I'm quick

1051
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: to say that. You know, I've all along tried to

1052
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: say that we should come together here and and I'm

1053
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 1: already seeing this fray before we even know how bad

1054
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: this is going to get and where we're going to be.

1055
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm already seeing that. I'm you know, the the hyper

1056
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: part is in nature of all the stuff that's going

1057
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: on right now in Congress, as well as in much

1058
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: of the media. I mean, today there was a piece,

1059
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: a c ann piece about how three people overdosed on

1060
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 1: chloroquin in Nigeria in the aftermath of President Trump's comments

1061
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: that maybe this will be an effective treatment for for

1062
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. I don't know if these are people who

1063
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: just took it themselves, or if they had a doctor

1064
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: who poorly administered it or something, But how is this

1065
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: even a news story. I've asked, and I've seen a

1066
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, snarky liberals. I'm under, I'm

1067
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: under left wing assault that I just you know, on

1068
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: social media, they're they're all coming after the buckster, which

1069
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 1: is fine. They're morons, and you know, ultimately you start

1070
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: to recognize, you know, what are these people? You know,

1071
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: idiots wake up on They're idiots all the time, and

1072
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: they'll never be right, they'll never be ethical, they'll never

1073
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: be worth anyone's time, and they just speak to the

1074
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: brainwashed and the largely brain dead of the progressive left.

1075
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 1: And that's that's what they do. That's that's their existence.

1076
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: You know, the people that work in the media that

1077
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: eight or to this left wing insanity, you know, some

1078
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 1: of them are the same people that I've seen who

1079
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: are big advocates for you know, Andrew Gillham should be

1080
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: the governor of Florida because he seems like a really,

1081
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 1: really solid ethical individual. Seeing the stories about gilliam situation,

1082
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: I also I didn't know that there was some left

1083
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: wing journos out there who who were saying, oh, he

1084
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: was just at he was at a wedding and it

1085
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: was with a friend I saw that. I think that

1086
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: the young Turks guy put that out there. He was

1087
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: just at a wedding, you know, he just no, he

1088
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: was actually at a He was in a hotel with

1089
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: a male escort and meth amphetamine on the on the

1090
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 1: premises and a I mean, I'm not even getting this

1091
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 1: is what the special medicine was for, but special medicine

1092
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: for other stuff and that you inject, which I didn't

1093
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: even know that was a thing. And you know, we

1094
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 1: were told that this guy should be governor of Florida,

1095
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: a very important, very large state, because yeah, that's right,

1096
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: if we had a Democrat like Andrew Gillim in charge

1097
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 1: in Florida, the COVID nineteen response, I would be better.

1098
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: That's what they watch you to believe. And this story

1099
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: in Nigeria, a country that of the journalists that are

1100
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: all piling on me now for saying, how is why

1101
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 1: does CNN think this is a new story. The answer

1102
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: to my question is it's a new story because it's

1103
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:15,919
Speaker 1: a way of saying Trump overstated this, and so now

1104
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: people are dying. Trump lied, Trump lied, Trump lied, people

1105
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: died about chloroquine. That's supposed to be the takeaway or

1106
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: Trump overstated and people, this is idiotic. Trump said, it

1107
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: may not be anything, it may not mean anything. You know,

1108
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: we're hopeful we'll see And three people in a country

1109
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 1: that is over five thousand miles away, a country of

1110
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty million plus people, to begin with,

1111
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: three people overdose on this a drug that's been in

1112
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 1: that country for decades, and people have been taken to

1113
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 1: fight malaria for decades, and this is a CNN shares

1114
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: this from their main account with forty million followers on Twitter.

1115
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 1: This is a new story. Why oh, because of the

1116
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: Trump angle, And people will pretend that they can't see that,

1117
01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: but of course that's why. So you know he's here.

1118
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 1: It's where we are with all of this. You know,

1119
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna get as it gets scarier, there'll be more

1120
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: bad faith, partisan leftist morons running around yelling at people

1121
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: and being crazy and saying that you know you're I mean.

1122
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: This is the same the same media that was telling

1123
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: us for the last week the biggest problem is calling

1124
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 1: it Wuhan virus because that's so racist, or calling it

1125
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: a Chinese virus because that's so racist. Now they're turning

1126
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: around and saying anybody who wants to shut the turn

1127
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: the economy back on from the shut off as soon

1128
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: as possible. I didn't say tomorrow wants more dead people.

1129
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 1: This is just bad faith idiocy, that's all. It is,

1130
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: bad faith idiocy. So you know, you get a lot

1131
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: of that from the left, though we're going to see

1132
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 1: a lot more of it going forward. Let's talk about

1133
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: some of them, trying to find some of the the

1134
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: upside here, first of all things that have worked so far,

1135
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 1: and then also things that might work in the future.

1136
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: Let's let's switch gears into some of that. And then

1137
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: also I'll tell you about we got to do sort

1138
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: of our quarantine hangout session where I tell you about

1139
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: what's going on with me, and we'll do a role call.

1140
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 1: And because this is it, you guys, Team Buck is

1141
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 1: my only team right now. I don't get to see anybody.

1142
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm on lockdown. I get to see the family French bulldog.

1143
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 1: That's really that's really it, you know, with with very

1144
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: very seldom exception for young family members who are who

1145
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 1: are healthy. You know, I don't get to see the

1146
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: people in my life. So I get to talk to

1147
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: all of you. This is more important than ever from

1148
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: a news standpoint that I get to address all of you,

1149
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: but also personally and psychologically. I mean, you know the team,

1150
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: you guys are all and gals. Of course I did

1151
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 1: do the general guys. You know guys. It means everybody.

1152
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 1: You guys, I'm from New York. It's how we talk.

1153
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 1: You are keeping me company through this quarantine at a

1154
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 1: time when that really is that is meaningful, and I

1155
01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: hope I'm providing at some level the same for those

1156
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 1: of you who listen and who watch. And also it's

1157
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 1: why I want more than ever as many people to

1158
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 1: write in and just tell me what you're going through,

1159
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: what it's like across the country, and what you're thinking.

1160
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: You're in the freedom art. This is the Buck Sexton

1161
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: Show podcast. If you look at the dynamics of the

1162
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: outbreak in Italy, we don't know why they are suffering

1163
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 1: so terribly, but there's a possibility and many of us

1164
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: believe that early on they did not shut out as

1165
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: well the input of infections that originated in China and

1166
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: came to different parts of the world. One of the

1167
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: things that we did very early and very aggressively, the

1168
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 1: President that you know, put the travel restriction coming from

1169
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: China to the United States and most recently from Europe

1170
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: to the United States, because Europe is really the new China. Again.

1171
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,439
Speaker 1: I don't know why this is happening there to such

1172
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 1: an extent, but it is conceivable that once you get

1173
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 1: so many of these spreads out, they spread exponentially and

1174
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: you can never keep up with the tsunami. And I

1175
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 1: think that's what unfortunately, our colleagues, enough dear friends in

1176
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 1: Italy are facing. So again we returned to doctor Foucher

1177
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: here saying that the shutdown of flights from China is

1178
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 1: the single most important early stage decision that the Trump

1179
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: administration made right. The shutdown from China is. The shutdown

1180
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,640
Speaker 1: of flights from China was something that the media, the

1181
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: same media that's now telling us, yeah, you know, the

1182
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: shutdown should continue as long the economic shutdown should continue

1183
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 1: as long as possible. They seem to be saying, oh yeah,

1184
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: we well, they will not admit that they were wrong

1185
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: about flights from China. The truth is there should have

1186
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: been a shutdown in flights from Europe too, but we

1187
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 1: didn't know how badly Europe had been hit. And when

1188
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: you break down what's gone on in Italy, the particularly

1189
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 1: aged population there, they have I think the second oldest

1190
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 1: in the world after Japan. They have direct flights, a

1191
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 1: lot of direct flights not just from China, but from

1192
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: Hubei Province, which is where Wuhan City is in China

1193
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: because of the textile textile factories, and there's a lot

1194
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: of crossover with China on that. That's an important differentiator

1195
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: between us and them. And then they also have a

1196
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 1: higher percentage of smokers than we do, which unfortunately for

1197
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: the smokers out there, that does increase your risk from

1198
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 1: this disease. So please please take good care of yourself,

1199
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: take a little extra precaution if you're a smoker. But

1200
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 1: Italy has a higher rate of smoking, particularly among the elderly, substantially,

1201
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: I think it's double what it is in the United States.

1202
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 1: And you know, so they had and they got hit

1203
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 1: and they weren't ready. We have been we're now going

1204
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 1: to have been getting ready for two weeks. And people

1205
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 1: that think that we should just continue in this current

1206
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 1: mode indefinitely, I'd want to ask them, what do what

1207
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 1: do they think the acceptable cost to the economy are right?

1208
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: What do they think the acceptable ranges of what we

1209
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 1: should do here? And they don't have any answers, because

1210
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 1: right now, people are scared, they're angry, and there's a

1211
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:22,680
Speaker 1: lot of jockeying for status among those who are in

1212
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:24,679
Speaker 1: the narrative right now, right who's going to be listened

1213
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 1: to on this and who's not. In the media, you'll

1214
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 1: see a lot of that. I just want, I just

1215
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 1: want my country and my city to be able to

1216
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 1: continue to function and go back to work as soon

1217
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: as possible. And that's just where we are right That's

1218
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: just we have to confront this that there's not going

1219
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 1: to be an easy and easy choice to make an

1220
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 1: easy time. So doctor Faucci though saying that that's that's

1221
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: a very important part of us. And also we've got

1222
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 1: some on the some update on the usage of chloroquin.

1223
01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: The usage of chloroquin is a very well, you know,

1224
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: we're hopeful on this one. It could be turning a corner.

1225
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,799
Speaker 1: It will not eliminate the fear and the shutdowns and everything,

1226
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: even if it shows some very high likelihood of working,

1227
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 1: but it certainly will be an issue that we or

1228
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: rather it will certainly be an advancement that will help

1229
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:25,559
Speaker 1: dramatically against this. It will help dramatically in our fight

1230
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: against the disease, so we'll have to see. I'll give

1231
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: you a little bit of where we are on that.

1232
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 1: I think New York State has as of tomorrow going

1233
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 1: New York dat as of tomorrow will be using chloroquinn

1234
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 1: to treat this. So we'll hopefully be getting frontline data.

1235
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 1: And you know it's not going to be as control

1236
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 1: the study as would like, but frontline data very very soon.

1237
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember

1238
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:56,879
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever

1239
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. There's an issue here of we're

1240
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 1: coming from. The President has heard, as we all have heard,

1241
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: what I call anecdotal reports that certain drugs work. So

1242
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 1: what he was trying to do an express was the

1243
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: hope that if they might work, let's try and push

1244
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 1: their usage. I, on the other side, have said, I'm

1245
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: not disagreeing with the fact anecdotally they might work, but

1246
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 1: my job is to prove definitively from a scientific standpoint

1247
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,679
Speaker 1: that they do work. So I was taking a purely medical,

1248
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: scientific standpoint, and the President was trying to bring hope

1249
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 1: to the people. I think there's this issue of trying

1250
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 1: to separate the two of us. There isn't fundamentally a

1251
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: difference there. He's coming from it from a hope lay

1252
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: person standpoint. I'm coming from it from a scientific standpoint.

1253
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:52,719
Speaker 1: That's the explanation that I think anybody who was being

1254
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 1: fair minded would have already known from watching the press

1255
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 1: conference last week. You had this whole dust up between

1256
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:03,640
Speaker 1: President Trump and some NBC reporter over whether Trump was

1257
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: giving a sense of false hope by saying that, you know,

1258
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:12,840
Speaker 1: we'll see if this combination of chloroquin and a zithromycin,

1259
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:15,600
Speaker 1: which is an antibiotic that i'm zpac. I'm sure a

1260
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: lot of you are familiar. I think zpac is a

1261
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 1: zithromycin um. If I'm wrong on that, apologies, I'm not

1262
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 1: a doctor. I don't play one on radio. But this

1263
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 1: would be a very very helpful tool. This would be

1264
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: something that would finally make people feel like, all right,

1265
01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna turn the corner at some point here.

1266
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to a state where we know we're

1267
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 1: winning this fight. And if you bring the mortality rate

1268
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: down substantially, you're going to be able to make much

1269
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:51,560
Speaker 1: more clear headed I think decisions, and much you know

1270
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:54,759
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna have a better understanding of what's feasible

1271
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: what's not when we can get back to work with

1272
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 1: because right now we don't know what the mortality it

1273
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 1: really is and we don't have a real way to

1274
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 1: treat this, and putting someone on a ventilator, all that

1275
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:09,639
Speaker 1: really does is keep them alive. Obviously critical keep them alive,

1276
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 1: but it doesn't kill the virus. It just keeps the

1277
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 1: keeps the cycle going of breathing while their system fights

1278
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 1: off the virus. So having something that would even just

1279
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:25,640
Speaker 1: give you know, substantial efficacy here, it doesn't even it

1280
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:27,760
Speaker 1: doesn't have to cure it the next day, but even

1281
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 1: if it just prevents. That's why I keep focusing the

1282
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 1: mortality aspect of it. I don't think that we're looking

1283
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 1: to take chloroquin as at least my understanding right now

1284
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 1: is that it's not it's not going to be something

1285
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 1: you take as a prophylactic against this, even if it

1286
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 1: shows some efficacy against the disease when people are infected.

1287
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: I think the likelier situation is that you're just going

1288
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 1: to see this use in acute cases when somebody is

1289
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,679
Speaker 1: infected and they're trying to make sure they keep them alive.

1290
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 1: They're going to have you know, the respiratory or the

1291
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 1: respirator going, but they'll be giving them chloroquin in the

1292
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 1: zithro mice, and hopefully that will be enough to make

1293
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 1: sure that we have very, very very few casualties among

1294
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 1: anybody who catches this. Ye know, I'm also seeing now

1295
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: and this is a classic thing. This happened. I went

1296
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 1: on the Bill Marshaw too. I mean, I have people

1297
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 1: who are actually hoping that I or someone in my

1298
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: family gets COVID nineteen just because I'm trying to advocate

1299
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 1: for a fact based and reasonable, numbers based approach to it.

1300
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 1: You know, leftist see what I'm saying or hear what

1301
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying here on the show, and they you know,

1302
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 1: I would never I'll just tell you this right now.

1303
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 1: I would never do that. And that's it's important you

1304
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 1: remember these things, especially when you're in my business. To

1305
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: separate you from that. I get to go to sleep

1306
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: every night and wake up every morning knowing that I'm

1307
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 1: a decent, ethical person who cares about other human beings,

1308
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 1: and even the biggest jerks around I would help if they,

1309
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 1: you know, if they were in danger. I would help

1310
01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 1: if they needed it, and I want what's best for

1311
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,080
Speaker 1: all of my fellow Americans and all my fellow and

1312
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 1: beings when it comes to dealing with this virus that

1313
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 1: people think that it's a funny quip to say, you know, well, yeah,

1314
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: hopefully you'll get this, then we won't have to hear

1315
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: from you anymore. And these are blue checks, but I

1316
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 1: mean these are journals. Yeah, that's hilarious. That's hilarious. I mean,

1317
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 1: the left, it really is unfortunately morally rotten and diseased,

1318
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 1: and that doesn't change is because there's a pandemic. They

1319
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:26,679
Speaker 1: have adopted beliefs, and they have adopted an approach to

1320
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 1: other people they disagree with that is hateful and spiteful

1321
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: and disgusting. So, you know, I think last week there

1322
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 1: was such a shock around how frightening things had gotten,

1323
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: how bad things had gotten, that we had a sense

1324
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 1: that maybe there would be a little bit more of

1325
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: a bipartisan flavor to this, a little bit more of

1326
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 1: an all hands on deck from the politicians and from

1327
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: the political class. But that seems to be changing very quickly.

1328
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: That seems to be changing with the day. And just

1329
01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 1: wait until there's a there's an opening, they will pylon

1330
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 1: to President Trump with everything that they've got because they

1331
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 1: know that there's there's power at stake here right now.

1332
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 1: The Obama administration came in during a financial crisis, and

1333
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: Ram Emanuel and others, I mean they were explicit about

1334
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 1: Ram Emanuel was at least, you know, never let a

1335
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:18,559
Speaker 1: crisis go to waste, and so they turned the financial

1336
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,599
Speaker 1: crisis into an opportunity to leverage the fear and panic

1337
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:25,799
Speaker 1: among people in this country to get what they wanted. Well,

1338
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 1: that's that's really one of the you know, when when

1339
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 1: you look at what they're going to do now, the

1340
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 1: Democrats are going to be up to now, it's going

1341
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 1: to be quite similar. They're going to leverage this for

1342
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 1: their own political gain as much as they possibly can.

1343
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 1: One of the point are about about by the way,

1344
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 1: I know we've talked to this a lot today, but

1345
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 1: you know you guys also need to let me know,

1346
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 1: I mean, team that I want to make this as

1347
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 1: interactive as I can, and we are. I have been researching.

1348
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 1: I just got to figure out how to do it.

1349
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: How to set up a voicemail in box so you

1350
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 1: we can play voicemails on the air about the show,

1351
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, for the show. I also have to note that,

1352
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 1: you know, if you want me to try to find

1353
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there are other news stories that are happening.

1354
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 1: It just feels like this is such a you know,

1355
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:17,680
Speaker 1: so much more central than anything else going on right

1356
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 1: now that I don't know if you would think it

1357
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 1: was a bit flip into it was a little bit

1358
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:26,599
Speaker 1: off key for me to get into some other things.

1359
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you just you look at at any news

1360
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 1: site right now, though, and it's basically all coronavirus coverage.

1361
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 1: It's basically all about this issue. You know, There's not

1362
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:45,800
Speaker 1: really a whole lot else that's being talked about or

1363
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 1: going on. I mean, there's no sports, so I can't

1364
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: even bring producer market to talk about sports. I'll try

1365
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 1: to find ways talk to you about books and about

1366
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 1: TV shows and other things. But you know, this is

1367
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: where we are right now, this is the world that

1368
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 1: we're living in. If you would like me to get

1369
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 1: to a place where we can start, maybe in the

1370
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 1: third hour, just do other kinds of stories. I'll look

1371
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 1: for some things, find some things. I'm happy to do that,

1372
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 1: but I want this to be a place where you

1373
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 1: get information and you hear what's going on, and you know,

1374
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,640
Speaker 1: there's a sharing of how we're all feeling right now

1375
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 1: that goes on. We're about to get into a roll

1376
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 1: call to that end, but also I want this to

1377
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 1: be a place where you can seek a little bit

1378
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: of a rest bit from all of this and maybe

1379
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:34,320
Speaker 1: just knowing that you're hearing a friendly voice about this

1380
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 1: and that you know, I am still optimistic. I know

1381
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 1: we will get through this. I know we've been through

1382
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 1: worse things as a country. But you know, let me

1383
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 1: know a team, I am starting work on a history podcast.

1384
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 1: That is something that I'll be doing. So you know,

1385
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 1: there's there's some things that I'd like to introduce into

1386
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:56,680
Speaker 1: our show day to day that I'm I want to

1387
01:19:56,720 --> 01:20:00,160
Speaker 1: be more relaxing, more laid back and everything else. So

1388
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 1: that's I'm going to try to do that as well

1389
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 1: as what I'm saying. But I also wanted to be

1390
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:08,639
Speaker 1: like why as Buck, you know, telling stories about what

1391
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: it was like back in the day and you know,

1392
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:13,559
Speaker 1: in New York City or I don't know whatever, when

1393
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 1: we need to be focusing in on the single biggest

1394
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 1: problem facing humanity right now. So you know, to that end,

1395
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 1: I want to try to keep things, uh, you know,

1396
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 1: I want to try to keep things focused on what matters,

1397
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 1: but also make sure that you're not like, oh, Buck,

1398
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 1: you're really going to talk about coronavirus every day. Guys,

1399
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what else there is really that's going

1400
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 1: to get at least our first hour of the show.

1401
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:36,679
Speaker 1: I mean, if something changes, that would be that would

1402
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 1: be great. Um. But yeah, that's where that's where we are.

1403
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: That is the reality of our situation right now, and

1404
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 1: we need to deal in as we always try to

1405
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 1: deal in this reality. Um, it was it was a

1406
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 1: bit spooky walking around New York and door. I wasn't

1407
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't at a party or a lot of people

1408
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 1: anything else. I was walking the dog. But walking around

1409
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 1: this city and just seeing what it's doing here. Um.

1410
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: Our response to this is crippling. I mean, I'm seeing restaurants,

1411
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm walking past places that I've got memories of. You know,

1412
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 1: I've been on you know, been out with friends there,

1413
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 1: been out with my parents, been on dates, bars and

1414
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:21,439
Speaker 1: restaurants and different stores. And you know, you when you

1415
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:24,040
Speaker 1: whether you're in a city or you're out in you know,

1416
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 1: a rural area, you always have associations, memories that you

1417
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 1: that you bring Tobara with certain places and and yeah,

1418
01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm seeing places and thinking there is that is it

1419
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 1: never going to open again? It would seem that's a

1420
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 1: distinct possibility for a lot of them. And that's that's

1421
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 1: really disconcerting because those are those are people that work there,

1422
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:49,720
Speaker 1: that that that's part of their life and that's how

1423
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: they pay their bills, that's how they build a future

1424
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 1: for their kids and for their families. So I'm I'm

1425
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: looking for the optimistic side of this as much as

1426
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,639
Speaker 1: I can, and what I find is that we've been

1427
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: through very difficult times as a country before. We've never

1428
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 1: really been through this though. We've never really decided that

1429
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 1: we were going to engage in extreme measures of this

1430
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 1: kind to deal with a pandemic, and we don't have

1431
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 1: a template to work off of. And so when I

1432
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:21,040
Speaker 1: say we're going to get through this because we've been

1433
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 1: through a lot of bad things, I'm also very cognitive

1434
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: we've never been through this, We've never been through a

1435
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 1: situation like this. That's really where we are. That's really

1436
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:37,519
Speaker 1: the recognition of where we are at this moment in time.

1437
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 1: And I just hope that I can come to you

1438
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:44,280
Speaker 1: with good news sooner than later about how things are

1439
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 1: going right now and it is a tough time in

1440
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,280
Speaker 1: this country and how can you escape? I mean, the

1441
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 1: problem we also have is how can you escape coronavirus?

1442
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 1: When we're all basically under different stages of self distancing

1443
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:59,800
Speaker 1: and quarantine. There's no sports going on, there's no gathering,

1444
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 1: you're not seeing people. What do we really have to do?

1445
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 1: Books and media consumption. Actually, for the first time, I

1446
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: try a puzzle over the weekend, which was interesting. I

1447
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 1: try to puzzle. But books and media consumption are the

1448
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 1: way that is most readily available for us to think

1449
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:24,760
Speaker 1: about something else, to deal with something else, And unfortunately

1450
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 1: the media is completely dominated by this, right if you

1451
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 1: look at the news media. So then you just got

1452
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:31,639
Speaker 1: to get into Netflix. And I'm pretty sure my Netflix

1453
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 1: was the quality of it, the resolution of it was

1454
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 1: down a little bit. But you know, like I said,

1455
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,400
Speaker 1: I want to try to do everything I can to

1456
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:45,920
Speaker 1: bring you into what we need to talk about every day,

1457
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: but allso to give us all an escape from it.

1458
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:50,639
Speaker 1: So I'm working on some ideas. I've got some thoughts

1459
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:54,000
Speaker 1: and Facebook dot com slashbuck Sexton or a team bucket.

1460
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,320
Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot Com to share you know what you if

1461
01:23:57,320 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 1: you think there's a kind of segment we should do,

1462
01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:00,759
Speaker 1: if they're things you just want to hear me talking about,

1463
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, I get up. I do this show for

1464
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 1: three hours every day to serve this audience. So let

1465
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:08,679
Speaker 1: me know how best I can serve this audience during

1466
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 1: this pandemic. I put that out to all of you,

1467
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 1: and by serving you, I'll be helping myself out because

1468
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 1: I want to be in touch with as many of

1469
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:20,559
Speaker 1: you every day as I possibly can. And this really

1470
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 1: is you are my connection to the outside world. That

1471
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 1: and walking this cute little French bulldog around on the street,

1472
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,760
Speaker 1: because you know that I'm so allowed to do and

1473
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 1: I'm very thankful to have. Like I gotta say, those

1474
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 1: of us who have a little canine companion around, it's

1475
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 1: it's a special thing right now. You know, dogs, dogs

1476
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 1: are amazing in general, but right now, I think a

1477
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 1: lot of people are looking around saying, wow, it's really

1478
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:47,719
Speaker 1: or a cat or you know, if you're into birds

1479
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:49,719
Speaker 1: or lizards or whatever, you know, whatever kind of pet

1480
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 1: you've got. I think now is a particularly helpful time

1481
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 1: for us to have that companionship. You're in the freedom hunt.

1482
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Let's bring in

1483
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 1: the wisdom of the penalty box. We got Mark. I

1484
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 1: want to do all the here from because we haven't

1485
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:14,360
Speaker 1: been able to talk to me a little while. Producer Mark, Hello,

1486
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Buddy? Your work from home now too? Yeah?

1487
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 1: And I finally got equipment, So you're not gonna now

1488
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 1: can hear me? I know everyone was there, they were like,

1489
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 1: what is going on? It's not going to return to normal.

1490
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 1: We're not gonna be okay unless Producer Mark is around. Yeah,

1491
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:32,640
Speaker 1: who's gonna yell at Buck for you know, doing stupid stuff? Correct? Exactly?

1492
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 1: That needs to be like an ombudsman for the people

1493
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:37,720
Speaker 1: for the team. So how how do you spend I mean,

1494
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 1: tell us just a little bit, because I think this

1495
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 1: is we all need to share because we don't get

1496
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:44,720
Speaker 1: to see each other. There's this is water cooler talk now,

1497
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:46,559
Speaker 1: because no one can actually go to water coolers because

1498
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 1: there's other people around them. Uh. Well, you know, how

1499
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 1: do you spend your weekend? Uh? Not doing much? I

1500
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 1: was glad to finally see my wife since she's back

1501
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 1: and forth from Long Island. So that was nice, but

1502
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: pretty much staying inside. I mean, what else can you

1503
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 1: do when you're quarantined, not allowed to go anywhere? Yeah,

1504
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 1: would you watch? I didn't. Well, let's see, we watched Manifest.

1505
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 1: That's a good show. That's a show we watched together.

1506
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 1: What's that about. It's about this plane. It's kind of

1507
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:18,320
Speaker 1: like Lost. It's about this plane that disappeared coming back

1508
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:22,640
Speaker 1: from Jamaica and then reappeared five years later and just

1509
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 1: kind of landed as if nothing happened. And it's like

1510
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: a mystery show. You know, where was the plane? Oh?

1511
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 1: That sounds like a nice you know, for him and

1512
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 1: for her, kind of kind of a show. Were you

1513
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: a Lost person? By the way, if I bailed after

1514
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 1: season three, it's very sound decision. I'm not going to

1515
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:44,839
Speaker 1: bail on Manifest just yet. It's actually kept me intrigued

1516
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 1: the whole time. I'm shocked. No, it might be great.

1517
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 1: I'm just saying for those that watch Lost all the

1518
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:51,760
Speaker 1: way to the end, because I made the decision, I

1519
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:53,599
Speaker 1: was like, there's no way they can make this make sense.

1520
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 1: It's just gotten too convoluted and too weird. And everyone

1521
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:57,960
Speaker 1: I knew who watched it all the way through some

1522
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:00,120
Speaker 1: enjoyed it, and good for them, and I'm happy. But

1523
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:01,920
Speaker 1: everyone who watched it all the way through turnaround and

1524
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, it kind of just like mailed it

1525
01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 1: in at the end. I mean it was, you know,

1526
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:08,880
Speaker 1: the whole thing didn't really make sense. So I was

1527
01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 1: forced to watch I think the pilot and maybe another

1528
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: episode in a class in college, and it didn't really

1529
01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:16,800
Speaker 1: intrigue me. So I never bother to watch more. What

1530
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 1: do you think? I mean, there's a piece in the

1531
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:20,759
Speaker 1: Wallstree journal. Now, what to do when you're sheltering in place?

1532
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,639
Speaker 1: What do you what do you want to do? Are

1533
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:25,559
Speaker 1: you like taking up any hobbies or anything, because man,

1535
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:29,360
Speaker 1: than we have in a long time. No, I'm just

1536
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:31,760
Speaker 1: playing more video games and eating a lot more. All

01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 1: I do is eat. I feel like I'm hungry every

1538
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 1: ten minutes. I'm I'm really worried. I said that Corona

1539
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 1: Bod maybe a thing, but it's really not Corona Bod.

1540
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:46,920
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be a quarantine body. You know that's

1541
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 1: gonna end up happen. People are trying to change that

1542
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:51,120
Speaker 1: with the Instagram challenges. I don't know if you've seen

1543
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:53,800
Speaker 1: these the c ten do ten push ups and other

1544
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:56,639
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I haven't seen that, but I probably

1545
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:59,439
Speaker 1: should because right now, you know, I don't know. It's

1546
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:02,320
Speaker 1: just really tough to to lie down on your living

1547
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 1: room floor and really and like because it's also I

1548
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 1: don't live in a house, so I got very limited space,

1549
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 1: limited room. It's very tough to lie down your living

1550
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:12,640
Speaker 1: room floor and uh, you know, push yourself to do

1551
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 1: like one hundred burpies at a time, I mean burpees,

1552
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 1: so that you ever done a Burpee's the worst thing

1553
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:21,679
Speaker 1: in the world, the terrible. Yeah. So for your own home, yeah,

1554
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, also you're in quarantine. It's so

1555
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: easy to tell yourself. Okay, I'm stressinging a little bit,

1556
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 1: but it's a stressful situation. Yeah, I mean, I will

1557
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:32,680
Speaker 1: admit to getting an instacart delivery with a couple of

1558
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 1: pints of Ben and Jerry's, and I'm discovered. I discovered

1560
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 1: has coconut I discovered a kind of ice cream that

1561
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:49,679
Speaker 1: is absolutely delicious that instead of milk. Yes, I gotta

1562
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 1: tell you it's because you know why they didn't have

1563
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 1: the actual ice cream I wanted. And I'm usually anybody

1601
01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 1: As terrible as everything is here in the States, I

1602
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 1: hope no one forgets about the troops and sailors overseas,

1603
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:54,400
Speaker 1: the USS Dwight Eisenhower and Harry Truman have been deployed

1604
01:30:54,800 --> 01:30:58,559
Speaker 1: and had all port calls canceled since mid February until

1605
01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:02,040
Speaker 1: who knows when port calls keep a cruisane and the

1606
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:05,040
Speaker 1: morale hit of no port calls has to be terrible

1607
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:07,840
Speaker 1: for those ships and all of the deployed ships. Brett,

1608
01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:12,080
Speaker 1: really good point, man, I hear you. That is being

1609
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:16,320
Speaker 1: stuck on ship under these kinds of circumstances, not able

1610
01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:21,280
Speaker 1: to go ashore. It is, Um. I'm sure it's going

1611
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:24,240
Speaker 1: to be a terrible strain on our on our sailors

1612
01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:27,400
Speaker 1: and airmen and people who are out there as part

1613
01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:31,800
Speaker 1: of our surface naval warfare operations around the world. Um.

1614
01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:35,240
Speaker 1: And I oh my gosh, summer surface forget surface under

1615
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:41,280
Speaker 1: the surface too, right, submarines. Yeah, that's gonna be tough. Um.

1616
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:43,599
Speaker 1: So Brett, thank you for and you know, my heart

1617
01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 1: goes out to all those who are doing their duty

1618
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:49,759
Speaker 1: for US abroad under these circumstances. You know, obviously people

1619
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:53,160
Speaker 1: who are deployed are going to be as we all are,

1620
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:55,800
Speaker 1: but they're going to be they're deployed. They worried about

1621
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:59,559
Speaker 1: family members worried about what's going to happen back home.

1622
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:04,320
Speaker 1: So but they've got to keep keep us safe. Still,

1623
01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:06,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I worry it. I don't mean to go

1624
01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:08,280
Speaker 1: down a negative path here. It's negative enough out there

1625
01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:10,600
Speaker 1: in the world right now. But I worry about what if?

1626
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:12,960
Speaker 1: What if something else hits us right now? What if

1627
01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:16,200
Speaker 1: we find ourselves in a circumstance where someone tries to

1628
01:32:17,080 --> 01:32:18,800
Speaker 1: one of our Now, I know you'd say people all

1629
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:21,080
Speaker 1: over the world, but we have what about terrorist groups

1630
01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:24,599
Speaker 1: and non state actors? Right this is Look, let's just hope.

1631
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:27,760
Speaker 1: Let's just hope things get better. Brian. Gents, thanks for

1632
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,240
Speaker 1: a commentary on extra tipping. Right now, more of us

1633
01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 1: need to do it. My home in rural PA has

1634
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:36,360
Speaker 1: trash pick up outside once a week. The normally two

1635
01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:40,719
Speaker 1: man crew was operating by himself yesterday, driving and getting

1636
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 1: out at every house in the neighborhood. Made it a

1637
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:46,640
Speaker 1: point to go thank him and gave him some cash.

1638
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:49,519
Speaker 1: Keep the trash guys happy. When trash pickup stops moving,

1639
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:55,080
Speaker 1: we got problems, oh, Brian, That's absolutely true. It's absolutely

1640
01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:59,800
Speaker 1: the case. We should do everything we can to show

1641
01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:02,799
Speaker 1: port for those who are still out there doing their jobs,

1642
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,040
Speaker 1: and that means if you can throw them some extra cash,

1643
01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 1: do helps them able to take care of their families.

1644
01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 1: And also, you know there's there's a self interest which

1645
01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:14,040
Speaker 1: we should be explicit about here. You know, I really

1646
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 1: appreciate and want those who are working in all those

1647
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:21,679
Speaker 1: jobs we've talked about, just keeping stuff going, keeping food

1648
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 1: on the shelves, lights on, keeping packages moving. You know

1649
01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 1: that those people are essential right now, and I think

1650
01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:34,599
Speaker 1: they're often on our society underappreciated, and we know right

1651
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:38,240
Speaker 1: now we appreciate them. So yes, do what you can

1652
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:40,439
Speaker 1: to give some extra cash to folks who can use it,

1653
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:42,880
Speaker 1: and try to be as supportive as possible as you

1654
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:47,560
Speaker 1: can to people who who are doing the things that

1655
01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:51,280
Speaker 1: are necessary to keep life going. Melissa Greetings, Thank you

01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:24,960
Speaker 1: on a ventilator. She still has severely damaged lungs and

1667
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:28,240
Speaker 1: nerve damage. It was a miracle she recovered. Please keep

1668
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:31,320
Speaker 1: urging people to think before they expose others. The current

1669
01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 1: advice isn't perfect, but it's worth a grace period before

1670
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:41,679
Speaker 1: we result revert to healthy skepticism. Yeah, Melissa, I think that,

1671
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's where I've been. I think that

1672
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:47,559
Speaker 1: the fifteen days. You know, we comply with the fifteen days,

1673
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:50,840
Speaker 1: but they've been saying it fifteen days. I assume because

1674
01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:53,120
Speaker 1: after fifteen days they're going to let people start going

1675
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:55,559
Speaker 1: back to work and start doing their jobs again or else.

1676
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 1: Why is it just the fifteen days? And this is why?

1677
01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:02,720
Speaker 1: What comes next? Part of this conversation, I think is

1678
01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:05,840
Speaker 1: where I'm trying to focus right now, Because we know

1679
01:35:05,920 --> 01:35:07,839
Speaker 1: what we're supposed to do in the meantime, we're supposed

1680
01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:16,400
Speaker 1: to be on lockdown and stay home. Well, what comes next? Amy,

1681
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:18,360
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm one of the ones who keeps showing

1682
01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 1: up to work. I do food deliveries and work in

1683
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:24,080
Speaker 1: a kitchen that makes healthy, organic food for home delivery.

1684
01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 1: I feel such a great sense of purpose and when

1685
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:28,000
Speaker 1: I do all the time. But your words of encouragement

1686
01:35:28,240 --> 01:35:31,040
Speaker 1: have meant so much to me. Well, Amy, thank you

1687
01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:33,960
Speaker 1: for doing what you're doing. And yeah, I mean every

1688
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:36,880
Speaker 1: time now, you know, and I'm just you know, I

1689
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:39,960
Speaker 1: can get groceries, but I've been ordering out. It's not

1690
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:42,519
Speaker 1: good for my waistline, but who cares. I've been ordering

1691
01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:44,559
Speaker 1: out more than I usually do because those there aren't

1692
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 1: that many businesses, even in New York that are still

1693
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:50,000
Speaker 1: doing takeout and delivery. The number dwindles every day. So

1694
01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:51,439
Speaker 1: I want to try to get you know, I want

1695
01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:53,760
Speaker 1: to try to give them money. Keep myself fed obviously,

1696
01:35:55,439 --> 01:35:58,400
Speaker 1: and the people that are still doing that. And also

1697
01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:01,200
Speaker 1: it's yes, it's the sust and it's the food. It's

1698
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:04,519
Speaker 1: making sure that we don't have, you know, people that

1699
01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:07,360
Speaker 1: are hungry in addition to all the other problems we

1700
01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:09,960
Speaker 1: have right now. But it's also the lessening of the

1701
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:12,759
Speaker 1: anxiety and the sense of normalcy that comes from having

1702
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:16,840
Speaker 1: food like your delivery service brought to people. You know,

1703
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:22,400
Speaker 1: we need this stuff, We need this right now, Kathleen,

1704
01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:24,200
Speaker 1: Now that we're cooped up, can you give out a

1705
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:29,439
Speaker 1: list of reading recommendations. All right, Kathleen, you know what

1706
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:32,840
Speaker 1: I will do right now? Actually, just because we're here,

1707
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:34,800
Speaker 1: we're in roll call, and I don't want to keep saying,

1708
01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 1: oh I we'll do this, and oh I will do that,

1709
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:40,519
Speaker 1: because then Oss and Stoats and some of the others

1710
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:43,639
Speaker 1: will yell at me as their right to do sometimes

1711
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:45,680
Speaker 1: because I just it's not that I ever don't want

1712
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 1: to do what I say. I just get delayed with

1713
01:36:48,240 --> 01:36:51,680
Speaker 1: things because I'm trying very hard. I'm trying to see

1714
01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:56,960

1715
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:58,960
Speaker 1: be the single best. We're here, I could even just

1716
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:01,160
Speaker 1: pull it up. I can pull it up on my

1717
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:04,000
Speaker 1: on my phone. I'll do that. So you want to

1718

Speaker 1: know things that I recommend you read right now if

Speaker 1: Hey Buck. I've been a fan since the Blaze days

1772
01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:51,080
Speaker 1: and love the podcast. Keep up the great work. I'm

1773
01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:53,280
Speaker 1: one of those who thinks this virus is an accidental

1774
01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:56,320
Speaker 1: leak from the bioweapons lab in Wuhan. It just seems

1775
01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:59,599
Speaker 1: too coincidental. I would probably think otherwise of the Chinese

1776
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:02,280
Speaker 1: not acted like they did by welding people in apartment

1777
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:05,439
Speaker 1: buildings withholding details on the strain, etc. I may have

1778
01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:07,280
Speaker 1: missed it, but I haven't heard you debunk this theory

1779
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:10,160
Speaker 1: at length. I would love to hear CIA analyst Bucket

1780
01:41:10,200 --> 01:41:18,960
Speaker 1: action during this. Sean, I don't look the truth is,

1781
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, one of the first being any kind of analyst,

1782
01:41:22,240 --> 01:41:24,920
Speaker 1: But certainly being a national security analyst, if you're going

1783
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 1: to be a good one, you gotta admit what you

1784
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:29,360
Speaker 1: don't know. And I just I don't have any special

1785
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:34,479
Speaker 1: insight or information about this bioweapons lab and the Institute

1786
01:41:34,479 --> 01:41:37,479
Speaker 1: of Virology in Wuhan other than it's ten miles from

1787
01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:40,920
Speaker 1: this wet market. But wet markets, remember, have been a

1788
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:45,040
Speaker 1: site for zooonautical transmission from one animal to another for

1789
01:41:45,080 --> 01:41:47,439
Speaker 1: a long time. It's resulted in other pandemics, you know,

1790
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:50,479
Speaker 1: SARS and for those who are wondering, you know about

1791
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:55,680
Speaker 1: the naming of these things, even stars and acronym was

1792
01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:59,719
Speaker 1: considered offensive for a while in Hong Kong because SARS

1793
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,280
Speaker 1: Hong Kong, it's called the Special Administrative Region SARE, and

1794
01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:06,559
Speaker 1: so they didn't like that the disease was being called

1795
01:42:06,600 --> 01:42:11,519
Speaker 1: SARS because it had its outbreak in Asia. So yeah,

1796
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:14,120
Speaker 1: I just don't have a good answer for you, my friend.

1797
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:16,360
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think it was a Look, it's

1798
01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:20,800
Speaker 1: not an intentional outbreak that I do think we have

1799
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:24,200
Speaker 1: to put aside. But you know, we'll see in terms

1800
01:42:24,240 --> 01:42:28,360
Speaker 1: of whether it broke out of that lab accidentally. Could

1801
01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:31,479
Speaker 1: be I don't think so, but I can't tell you. No,

1802
01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:37,280
Speaker 1: they've lost viruses before. That's established. That's fact. So how

1803
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:39,120
Speaker 1: do we know that this one didn't? You know, think

1804
01:42:39,120 --> 01:42:41,320
Speaker 1: of how much now you start to crunch the numbers,

1805
01:42:41,400 --> 01:42:45,519
Speaker 1: how many wet markets operate in China, how much of

1806
01:42:45,560 --> 01:42:50,439
Speaker 1: that is you know? How much? How many times does

1807
01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:51,920
Speaker 1: that happen? How many people interact with that on a

1808
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:55,280
Speaker 1: daily basis, And now all of a sudden this You know,

1809
01:42:55,439 --> 01:42:58,800
Speaker 1: you could say the numbers indicate that eventually this would

1810
01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:00,320
Speaker 1: happen in one of these wet markets. Okay, But you

1811
01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:03,800
Speaker 1: could also say, well, this has been going on for years,

1812
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:05,920
Speaker 1: millions and millions of times, and this hasn't happened. So

1813
01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:08,640
Speaker 1: why did it happen? Now? Two ways to look at it.

1814
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:12,599
Speaker 1: David buck I was in Israel during the Gulf War

1815
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:15,920
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one to January, and literally the entire

1816
01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 1: country was on lockdown for a month, no cars in

1817
01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:21,400
Speaker 1: the road, nothing. They came out, all right, just spreading

1818
01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:23,080
Speaker 1: a little hope out there to all those who worry

1819
01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:26,919
Speaker 1: about this destroying our economy. It won't. Israel actually emerged stronger,

1820
01:43:27,439 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 1: and they have nearly as strong an economy as we

1821
01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:35,960
Speaker 1: do now. Shields high well, David, the thing about that

1822
01:43:36,120 --> 01:43:38,560
Speaker 1: was everybody now that, first of all, thank you for

1823
01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:46,439
Speaker 1: giving us some optimism here. It's really appreciated. Everyone looking

1824
01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:49,639
Speaker 1: at this now could say, well, hold on a second,

1825
01:43:49,680 --> 01:43:52,559
Speaker 1: if we knew, if we knew it's a country that

1826
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:55,879
Speaker 1: we were going to be locked down for a finite

1827
01:43:55,920 --> 01:43:57,960
Speaker 1: period of time, and that we're finding a human enemy,

1828
01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 1: I think we could handle that right now. What we're

1829
01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:04,280
Speaker 1: dealing with is the uncertainty of the duration of the lockdown,

1830
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:07,599
Speaker 1: and that has impact on the economy in ways that

1831
01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:11,200
Speaker 1: it's very hard to predict, very hard to understand where

1832
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:16,880
Speaker 1: this all goes. Lorie, Texas has no state income tax

1833
01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:20,800
Speaker 1: but really high property tax. Love your show. Interesting to

1834
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:22,920
Speaker 1: hear about life in big cities during these unusual times. Well,

1835
01:44:22,920 --> 01:44:26,240
Speaker 1: thank you, Laurie. Yeah, I knew that about Texas, so

1836
01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:27,519
Speaker 1: I hadn't brought up recently. I know they have no

1837
01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:30,360
Speaker 1: state income tax where they got high property taxes, but

1838
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:35,519
Speaker 1: still it would be nice to avoid that state income tax. Doug,

1839
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:37,240
Speaker 1: new to your show, but not your message. I'm a

1840
01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:40,000
Speaker 1: forty seven year old country boy from Alabama trying to

1841
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:42,720
Speaker 1: get myself and my mother, who is seventy six through

1842
01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:46,320
Speaker 1: coronavirus meltdown. Truth be told, she's in better shape than

1843
01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:49,280
Speaker 1: I am. Our parents are tough cookies. Indeed, my father

1844
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:51,639
Speaker 1: has gone on to his great reward, but his memory

1845
01:44:51,680 --> 01:44:53,960
Speaker 1: is fresh in my mind. He taught me to hunt,

1846
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:56,600
Speaker 1: grow food and use my common sense. I hope you

1847
01:44:56,640 --> 01:44:58,320
Speaker 1: make it through all the craziness in the big apple

1848
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:01,880
Speaker 1: up there. I say rosaries for us, all shields up.

1849
01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 1: God bless Doug, Thank you man, Thank you for just

1850
01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:12,280
Speaker 1: writing in a kind message of solidarity with the rest

1851
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:15,400
Speaker 1: of the team with me, And you know, God bless

1852
01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:17,640
Speaker 1: you and your mom. And I'm sure you know you

1853
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 1: guys are gonna make it through just fine. And we

1854
01:45:20,200 --> 01:45:22,840
Speaker 1: need to rally to each other so much right now.

1855
01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:26,400
Speaker 1: And I'm a huge believer in that. Brandon wanted to

1856
01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:29,360
Speaker 1: remind you about us longshoreman, keeping the trade goods coming

1857
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:31,160
Speaker 1: and going out here. Thanks for all you do, Buck,

1858
01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:35,000
Speaker 1: Uh Yeah, absolutely, Brandon. You know I can't think of

1859
01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:38,000
Speaker 1: all the jobs or rather, you know, extemporaneously, I wouldn't

1860
01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:39,960
Speaker 1: be able to name all the jobs that are right

1861
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:42,720
Speaker 1: now keeping us, keeping us alive, basically keeping us going.

1862
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:46,640
Speaker 1: But absolutely, longshoreman, anybody who's involved in the movement of

1863
01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 1: goods and whatever services are still out there right now.

1864
01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:53,080
Speaker 1: Everyone who's involved in making sure there's there's product in

1865
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:55,720
Speaker 1: the stores, food on the shelves, you know, milk in

1866
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:59,759
Speaker 1: the in the dairy aisle, bread in the bread aisle, whatever.

1867
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:03,840
Speaker 1: You know, they're doing a tremendous service for all of

1868
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:06,280
Speaker 1: us because they could stay home too, right They could

1869
01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:08,200
Speaker 1: be like, look, I know I need the paycheck, but

1870
01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:09,439
Speaker 1: I'm going to stay home for a few weeks and

1871
01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:11,360
Speaker 1: just see what goes on. Imagine if everybody who worked

1872
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:13,559
Speaker 1: in a grocery store did that right now. I don't

1873
01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 1: want to be exposed to the virus. I don't want

1874
01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:20,880
Speaker 1: any risk. Okay, that would be really scary for all

1875
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:23,800
Speaker 1: the rest of us. So everybody out there, a longshoreman, truckers,
