1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts, the news you need to

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart app before wherever you get

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: your podcasts. Well, here, i am back from the COVID

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: hell that I started going through about a week ago now,

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry that I've been off the air. Sorry

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: i haven't been able to talk to you for a

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: few days, but it all hit me and I got

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: word right as I started to do the show on

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Wednesday last week that I sure enough did have COVID

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: and it was very much as advertised. Is very much

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: something that I could have known just based on the

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: symptoms when I got an unofficial test, and I've had

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: a lot of thoughts on it. Now that I've talked

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: to you about this for so long and I've actually

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: experienced it myself, I could tell you that everything that

17
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: I've told you up to this point has been correct,

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: and now that I've actually had to deal with it myself,

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: I am more certain than ever about the conclusions we've

20
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: come to on this show about what to do, what

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: not to do, what is sane policy, and is what

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: is not? So I'm looking forward to breaking down all

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: of that with you here, and then also I'm delaying

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: my trip down to the border as a result of

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: this illness, so it'll be a few more weeks now

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: before I get down to the border myself. Certainly going

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: to have updates for you on that. And I've got

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: to tell you it remains remarkable to me that I

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: just saw this today that Donald Trump. You can't post

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: Trump interviews, you can't post Trump stuff on Facebook. Do

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: you realize that this is the former president of the

32
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: United States and big tech companies they have more power

33
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,919
Speaker 1: than ever. They're doing this openly, and they don't care

34
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: that it bothers you. It doesn't matter to them that

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: they've decided to take sides in our political discussion. As

36
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: priv a entities, they can do pretty much whatever they

37
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: choose right now, So why are we giving them access

38
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: to all of our personal data? You can protect your

39
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: personal data from big tech with the VPN I trust

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: for my online protection Express VPN. When I use Express VPN,

41
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: my connection gets rerouted through their secure, encrypted servers, so

42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: these companies can't see my IP address at all. My

43
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: Internet activity becomes anonymized, and my network data is encrypted.

44
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: I recommend Express VPN to anyone who's using the Internet.

45
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: This is a must. You've got to have this setup.

46
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: I've got it set up on my devices. The best

47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: part is you don't need to be tech savvy at

48
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: all to use Express VPN. Just download the app to

49
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,000

55
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: to spiral out of control. The numbers are stunning. The

56
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: Biden administration pretending that they have a good idea of

57
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: how to handle all of this, folks. I've been looking

58
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: forward to talking to you about about everything going on

59
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: of the news. The border is obviously top of mind

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: for me, and we'll dive into that. But first, just

61
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: a quick word to all of you about why I've

62
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: been out. I've had COVID. I've had COVID now for

63
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: a week and it is very much what I expected.

64
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: The symptoms. It was a little I was hoping that

65
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: maybe i'd have a milder case than I did. I

66
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: got hit pretty badly. Was very similar to a nasty flu.

67
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: So as I was doing the show Wednesday, and I

68
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: know that we I had to take a pause during

69
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: it and wasn't even really able to get through the

70
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: normal show. The fatigue and the dizziness that hit was

71
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: just just immense. I'm doing a lot better now. I'm

72
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: going to be out of quarantine in three days, so

73
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing this show now. From quarantine. I have not

74
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: left my apartment in a week. I have not seen

75
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: anyone in a week. But I'm getting to talk to

76
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: all of you across the country, and I'm very thankful

77
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: that I'm I was a mild enough case, didn't have

78
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: to go see a doctor, even didn't have to go

79
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: to the hospital. For me, it's largely been like a flu.

80
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: And I'll talk to you more about what I see

81
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: going on in COVID policy. And the short version is

82
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: that having now had this and experienced it, I'm more

83
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: certain than ever about everything that I've been telling you

84
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: for the past year, all the conclusions, all the analysis

85
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: about what would have been a better choice for our society,

86
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: what works with regard to mitigation, what does in all

87
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff or how well it works. So

88
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: we'll certainly dive into all that, but I want to

89
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: start with and I appreciate all the well wishes. I

90
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: know a lot of you didn't understand why I was

91
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: out because I didn't make it clear. I figured, let

92
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: me beat COVID before I tell you all that I

93
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: have COVID. And so that's that's where I am. And

94
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad to be back and really thankful to be

95
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: able to do the show once again. That all said,

96
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: if I sound a little bit strained today or if

97
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: it sounds a little bit like a challenge, well I'm

98
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent yet, so I'm still I'm playing

99
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: hurt here on the radio. But that's how we that's

100
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: how we do it in the Freedom Hunt. So let's

101
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: get into the border situation where we have the journalists

102
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: finally now that they've they've tried to make it a

103
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: little bit less awful looking in terms of the conditions

104
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: in these facilities. You've had journos gathering together and able

105
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: to go and take photos of what's going on, to

106
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: see what's happening in one of these facilities, and it

107
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: is a it is a total mess. It's awful. What's happening.

108
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: The biggest shelter for migrant kids. They let the journalists

109
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: go see this. You got about one in seven kids

110
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: has COVID. They've got tents that are at seventeen hundred

111
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: percent capacity. They've got two thousand kids who have overstayed

112
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: their seventy two hour legal limit. There's COVID outbreaks, there's

113
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: a reported lice outbreak. I mean, it's really bad conditions.

114
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: And what is the Biden administration say about all this?

115
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: What is their approach to this? Well, they think, and

116
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm being serious, this is what they believe. They think

117
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: that they're doing a good job. They actually believe that

118
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: their approach to the border, which has led to all

119
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: of this, is something they should be praised for. Here

120
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: as Biden's borders are ROBERTA. Jacobson play nine. First of all,

121
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: we don't apologize for the fact that this is a

122
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: president who has a more humane policy. The President said

123
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: it himself the other day during his press conference. He's

124
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: not going to apologize for taking care of children who

125
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: come unaccompanied across the border. But I do think we

126
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: have to make sure people understand that the border is

127
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: not open that the majority of people, especially single adults,

128
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: will be expelled or deported, and that people need to

129
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: understand that this is not the way to come to

130
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: the United States, that we are working on legal pathways,

131
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: on options that they can have to stay in their

132
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: home countries. We are surging humanitarian assistance after two hurricanes

133
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: last November. Now, there's a problem with the entire philosophy

134
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: of the Democrats when it comes to the border, and

135
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: it's apparent in all their public statements about it. They're

136
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: always trying to lean on this notion that they just

137
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: need to increase access to the system and this will

138
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 1: work out for everybody. But that's not true. The reason

139
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: that people are choosing to come in this way is

140
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: because it's an end run on the system, because they

141
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: won't really get refugee status or asylum. Remember refugee status

142
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: you apply for in another country to be here in

143
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: the United States. Asylum status is you show up and

144
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: essentially demand to be an on the spot refugee. They

145
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: won't get their claims, they won't get their claims taken

146
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: through to the actual end where they get to stay.

147
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: That's the problem, and they won't say this, so they

148
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: keep telling us, but there's a humanitarian need. There's a

149
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: humanitarian disaster in Central America. There was a hurricane at

150
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: some point, As if the people are coming now because

151
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: the hurricane, not because Joe Biden is the president, right,

152
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: As if we're also stupid that we don't see what's

153
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: going on. I mean this, you can't make this stuff up.

154
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: They're showing up at the border in large numbers, and

155
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: they're saying on camera, we're here because of Biden. They're

156
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: wearing Biden t shirts. The Democrat Party is a de

157
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: facto open borders party. They don't want to turn people away.

158
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: They're a lying to you when they say they do.

159
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: As far as they're concerned, anybody who wants to come

160
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: to America should be able to notice. They never explain otherwise.

161
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: They don't even go through the motions of saying, look,

162
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: we got to have a cap here. We can't we

163
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: can't take in a million refugees a year, on top

164
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: of a million legal immigrants a year, which is what

165
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: we currently do, a million legal immigrants in America every year.

166
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: And now we're going to add on to that perhaps

167
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: a million, perhaps two million refugees from Central America why

168
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: not ten million. Now you have to get down to

169
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: the basic philosophy here of what is an immigration system

170
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: supposed to do? Why do we even have an immigration system,

171
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: and deal with this reality. Look at these questions honestly,

172
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: instead of what the Democrats do is the worst kinds

173
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: of demagoguery. Right, they act like it's only an issue

174
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: of fixing the efficiency of the system and then everything

175
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: will be better. Well, no, there are a lot of

176
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: these families that based on our immigration laws, in fact,

177
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: a vast majority of these families, something like ninety percent

178
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: of them, should not be able to stay in the

179
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: United States and therefore must be deported. But they won't

180
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: tell you that because they don't plan on doing that.

181
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: There's a lot of falsehood around this. There's a lot

182
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: of lies, and you have to dig into this to

183
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: see what's really going on. I'll be going down to

184
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: the border, like I said, in a few weeks. I

185
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: need to recover fully from COVID first, but I want

186
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: to see it myself. I want to talk. I've been

187
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: down there before for the last migrant crisis, but I

188
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: want to speak to members of border patrol and use

189
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: the sources and connections I have down there to get

190
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: the most accurate story I can about what is really happening.

191
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: Because here's the short version. The Biden administration is lying

192
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: to you about a lot of this, and they're just

193
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: living in an alternate reality, in alternate universe because ultimately

194
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: they don't really have a problem with what's going on.

195
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: They have a problem with you knowing about it. They

196
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: wish they could find a way that this didn't look bad.

197
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: But as for the actual enormous surge across the border,

198
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: they have no problem with that. Oh. In fact, as

199
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: we'll see, they have a problem with the usage of

200
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: the term surge. This is this is pretty incredible stuff.

201
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is someone who now says that to

202
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: use the term surge is a vestige or a connection

203
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: to white supremacy. I am not making that up. This

204
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: is what so called public intellectuals of the Democrat Party

205
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: or public officials. I don't know if any would call

206
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: her intellectual. She thinks she's kind of an intellectual of

207
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. This is what they really believe, and

208
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: they'll say stuff like this. It's remarkable, but it also

209
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: shows you just how much dishonesty there is around this

210
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: issue where sure enough, they're turning them border into a

211
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: oh it's a question of racism issue instead of a

212
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: this is about safety, about law and order, about having

213
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: an orderly immigration policy that benefits all Americans, that secures

214
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: our borders, and that allows us to have sovereignty and

215
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: control of our own nation. No, it's not that, it's

216
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: just about finding a way Democrats finding a way to

217
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: demagogue the issue and call anybody who disagrees with them racist.

218
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: They want to say, what about the surge, Well, first

219
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: of all, just gut check stop. Anyone who's using the

220
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: term surge around you consciously is trying to invoke a

221
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: militaristic frame. And that's a problem because this is not

222
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: a surge. These are children, and they are not insurgents,

223
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: and we are not being invaded, which, by the way,

224
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: is a white supremacist idea philosophy, the idea that if

225
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: another is coming in the population, that this is like

226
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: an invasion of who we are. This woman is beloved

227
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: by millions and millions of young Americans who are idiots.

228
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: It's astonishing the amount of sway, the amount of power

229
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: that she has in the national political conversation. For such

230
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: a really shocking ignoramus. I mean, a deeply ignorant and

231
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: not particularly bright person has tremendous sway over the national

232
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: political conversation. And you have all these people that love her,

233
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: and you know, they're all, yes, she's amazing, and she

234
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: does these live streams, and it's it's just sad to

235
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: watch all these twenty somethings and thirty somethings who believe

236
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: that that AOC is speaking these eternal truths or some

237
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: other such nonsense. I mean, let's start with a few

238
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: of the things that she says, because remember, the Democrats

239
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: don't want you to pay attention to what's actually happening.

240
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: They're coming up with clever ways, Like we're all sitting

241
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: in a classroom now at some third tier liberal arts

242
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: college doing the deconstruction of Shakespeare. It's not what was

243
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: on the page, it's what we think should be on

244
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: the page. Right, This is the kind of relativistic approach

245
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: the Democrats take to everything. It's not about what's going on,

246
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: it's about what we can convince people is going on.

247
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: Let's reframe this issue. Let's use pseudo scientific jargon to

248
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: add some level of credibility. To what we're saying, just

249
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: like the Marxist used to do. By the way, just

250
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: like the Bolsheviks did. It was all about you know,

251
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: committees and commissars and functionaries and people that are there

252
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: was a mechanistic aspect to their political decision making because

253
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: it was all you could say about believing the science,

254
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: the political science in that case. So she uses terms

255
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: like it's about a militaristic frame. No, it's actually not.

256
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: If she owned a dictionary, which I'm sure she does not,

257
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: or if she spent any time googling and going to

258
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: dictionary dot com, she would find very quickly that a surge,

259
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: it's a sudden, powerful forward or upward movement, especially by

260
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: a crowd, or a natural force such as a wave.

261
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: That is a large movement by a crowd is a surge.

262
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: So I just want to know what other words are.

263
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: Are white supremacists? I mean, if someone said there's a

264
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: spike in illegal crossings, is that white supremacist? If somebody

265
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: says we've seen an increase in numbers of the border increase,

266
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: that's like the stock market, because like when it increases,

267
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: like the rich people make money, and so it's like, yeah,

268
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: increase is now like a thing. Let's just call a

269
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: white supremacy. She just said surges white supremacy. So I

270
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: guess increase can be white supremacy too, right, And anything

271
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: that they want to claim is white supremacy they will

272
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: throw into the bucket with the rest. It's absurd. It's

273
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: so intellectually empty. But so much of what the Democrats

274
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: are doing now is intellectually empty in terms of the

275
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: policy and the impact that it's going to have on

276
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: the country. I mean, we are being scammed in massive

277
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: numbers at our southern border. That's what's happening to our

278
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: country right now. People are taking advantage of the kindness

279
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: and the decency of the American people overall, and they're

280
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: pretending that they're they're asiles. There are asylum seekers from

281
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: around the world, they're refugees. Would be refugees from around

282
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: the world who have real cases, who actually might be

283
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: tortured and killed if they don't get out of their country.

284
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: And you know, because they're not in walking distance, they

285
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: have to actually apply and go through the system. But

286
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: if you can walk, you can be part of a surge.

287
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: If you can be part of a surge, the rules

288
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: suddenly don't apply. Nobody really believes the Democrats plan on

289
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: sending back all these people also back to the AOC.

290
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: Just stupidity here. They're not all children. There are a

291
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: lot of adults showing up at the border. They're a

292
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: family unit showing up at the border. There are thousands

293
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: and thousands of tens of thousands of adults who are

294
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: showing up too. So they focus on the children aspect

295
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: of it because they want to make this as sympathetic

296
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: a situation as possible. But let's also remember that they

297
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: screamed kids in cages during the Trump administration, and now

298
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: the cages, so to speak, are more full than ever.

299
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: There are more people in those cages, more children in

300
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: those cages than ever before, by huge numbers. Ted Cruze

301
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: was down to the border senator from Texas. Here's what

302
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: he said. Play for by the way, Yes yesterday I

303
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: went to Dallas to a different facility, the Kay Bailey

304
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: Hutcheson facility, which is the Convention Center downtown. They've turned

305
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: into an emergency detention center. And there's one gigantic room.

306
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: It is the size of three and a half football field,

307
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: so it's massive. The entire room is nothing but cots,

308
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: one after the other after the other. Over two thousand,

309
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: two hundred cots lined up in a room three and

310
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 1: a half times the size of a football field. Nothing

311
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: but teenage boys ages thirteen to seventeen. Teenage boys, thousands

312
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: and thousands of them, a facility three times the size

313
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: of a football field. Why are they here Because Joe

314
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: Biden's president and the Democrats let the world know that

315
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: the virtue signaling they feel when they declare they want

316
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: a de facto open border is more important than our

317
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: immigration law. And it's more important actually than the safety

318
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: of these kids. We know the numbers that will be

319
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: that are not just being human traffic of course that's

320
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: going on at the hands of the cartels, but also

321
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: the sexual assault and sexual exploitation of these kids by

322
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: people either affiliated with the cartels or just predators along

323
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: the way is stunningly high. That these children are being

324
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: turned over for these cartels to take to the border.

325
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean they're taking them over hundreds and hundreds of miles.

326
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: The COVID positivity rate among the kids, and I know

327
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: the kids are generally not at much risk from COVID,

328
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: but you know, there's still the concern about seventeen year

329
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: olds giving it to other people, right fifteen sixteen year

330
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: olds they more easily transmit it to adults than say

331
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: a ten year old or a five year old will,

332
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: But they get in person instruction in school. That's something

333
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: else that's come out about this. So it's not safe

334
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: for teachers to teach your kids in person if you

335
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: live in San Diego, let's say, where I know, they've

336
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: got one of these big facilities now set up. But

337
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: migrant children, who have in some cases a very high

338
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: COVID positivity rate established through testing in the last couple

339
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: of weeks, migrant children do get in person instruction. So

340
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: your kids may have been kept out of school for

341
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: a full year. But if you show up illegally at

342
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: the border and you're being held for what a few days,

343
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: maybe a week or two max, you get in person

344
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: instruction right away. Right away, you start to wonder, why

345
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: are there two sets of rules the Democrats enforce in

346
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: this country, and the set of rules they enforced for

347
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants who come to the country in violation of

348
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: our laws is a more generous one, a more forgiving one,

349
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: than what they have for the American people. What sense

350
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: does that really make well. The Democrat Party is addicted

351
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: to cheap virtue signaling, and if they can feel good

352
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: about themselves through no actions they have to take through

353
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: no sacrifice of their own, that is the policy they

354
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: most they most adore, and that's what an open border allows.

355
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: So if parents are vaccinated, they still do need to

356
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: be concerned about their unvaccinated children playing together in groups.

357
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah, the children can clearly wind up

358
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: getting infected. When we talk about what you can do

359
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: when you're vaccinated, you can certainly have members of a

360
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: family if the adults are vaccinated and you're in the

361
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: home with your child, you don't need to wear a mask,

362
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: and you could have physical contact. When the children go

363
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: out into the community. You want them to continue to

364
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: wear masks when they're interacting with groups from multiple households.

365
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: Mask up your little kids, even after your vaccinated. Mask

366
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: up your kids. I don't know what it's going to take.

367
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: I really asked this question in earnest, what it's going

368
00:21:53,400 --> 00:22:00,120
Speaker 1: to take for people to realize what a little tyrannical moron, this,

369
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 1: this this fascist smurf Fauci actually is. I just have

370
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: to wonder what he will say, what will be too

371
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: much for them to finally that they will finally ignore him.

372
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: And let's start with this. Has Faucci ever made the

373
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: right call when it really counted? Has he ever made

374
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 1: the right call? A lot of you are probably already

375
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: thinking about the fact that we're three weeks into Texas

376
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: is reopen. Texas cases are going way down New York

377
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: cases where I am going up quite a bit. New

378
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: York is being hit very badly. We've had about fifty

379
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: thousand new cases in New York State in the last

380
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: week or so. That's that's a lot of cases in

381
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: a week. But I ask, why don't we actually see

382
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: more pressure on Fauci to explain this? Why is Texas

383
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: doing better new York doing? Where's Texas got rid of

384
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: the mask mandate at the state level? Now I know

385
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: there are still some cities with masking, But if it

386
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: doesn't matter that Texas got rid of the mask mandate

387
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: at the state level, why were we told that it

388
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: was reckless? Why did Fauci warn us? Why is everyone

389
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: saying it's such a bad idea. They can't have it

390
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: both ways, folks, It can't be Removing the mask mandate

391
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: is awful and then well, removing the mask mandate actually

392
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: doesn't change mask wearing, right, That's what they do. These

393
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: are the games they play. They never want to be

394
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: held to account for what's really going on. They never

395
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: want people to know what's truly happening. It's all about

396
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: the narrative. It's all about the construct that's being used

397
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: to control you. But I ask you, what will it

398
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: take for the people of this country to reclaim their

399
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: dignity and their sanity by telling this feckless bureaucrat, tyrant

400
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: Fauci that his advice is no longer want it? What's

401
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: it going to take? I mean, here's this guy thinking

402
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: that he's telling you something really revolutionary. You know. Yeah,

403
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: if you if you vaccinated adults at home, in your

404
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: own home, all the adults fully vaccinated, and there's just

405
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: children there. Okay, maybe I'll let you take the mask

406
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: off and hugg you kid for the first time in

407
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: a year. Maybe this is what we've come to as

408
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: a country. I'm speaking. I have COVID right now as

409
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking to you. I am doing this show with COVID. Okay,

410
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,239
Speaker 1: so I'm I'm speaking from a degree of familiarity and

411
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: experience here that I that I couldn't have had before.

412
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: And here's what I'll tell you. I am more angry

413
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: at Fauci than I've ever been. And all the lockdowners

414
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: and all these other people. It's it was fascinating me.

415
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: I had people that were asking me, and you know,

416
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: I have friends who are who are on both sides

417
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: of the aisle, and I have you know, friends of

418
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: my personal life who people who know me, who will

419
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: who will reach out, you know, when I'm sick and

420
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: try to check in on me. And I know that

421
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: they don't agree with what I say on Faucci, But

422
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: people were asking me questions I thought were so so interesting,

423
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: like wow, do you know where you got it? And

424
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: I think this is one of the one of the

425
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: big problems that we've had this year. No, I have

426
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: absolutely no idea how I got COVID, because I haven't

427
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: gotten COVID clearly in the last year and last twelve months.

428
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: I was riding the New York City subway during the

429
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: first out every day during the first major wave of outbreak.

430
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: I've I've been going to stores and going to restaurants

431
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: when they're open for indoor dining. I've traveled across the

432
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: I've traveled around the country many times, been on planes,

433
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: been on airports. I've been to large congregate setting events

434
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: in the past, you know, last summer and this past fall,

435
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: and I got sick going from my apartment to my

436
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: TV studio and back. And that's it. I mean, there's

437
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: nothing else that I can think of that would even

438
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: And so the people ask, well, you know, to somebody, No,

439
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: I live alone, so I don't have someone in my household.

440
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no one in my household who gave

441
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: it to me, thank God, nobody that I know in

442
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: my personal life, and no one in my family has

443
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: come down with it. So I have absolutely no idea.

444
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: I'm bringing this up though, because we've been led to

445
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: believe that somehow, if you don't listen to Fauci, you're

446
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: gonna get this. And I'm sitting here telling you, against

447
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: my will, I've been listening to Fauci for the whole

448
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: year because you have absolutely no choice. In New York City,

449
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: I mean they you will be shamed and mobbed and

450
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 1: harassed and arrested. You'll be kicked out of your building.

451
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: I mean, trust me. I tried to go mask us

452
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: through the lobby, and then it was I was basically told,

453
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna have to stop this or they're

454
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: gonna evict you. And they didn't say the word evicted,

455
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: but that was the subtext. So I've already been through this.

456
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: And keep in mind, when I was walking through without

457
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: a matter, I didn't get sick. Then I didn't stop

458
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: wearing a mask. Even though I think that it's wildly

459
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: overstated how effective masks are. I mean when I say

460
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: wildly overstated, yeah, I believe that maybe maybe it could

461
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: reduce one percent of transmission if you do it pretty properly. Maybe.

462
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: I mean that's what I and anyone who yells at me,

463
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: I'd say, Okay, go look at the CDC. The go

464
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: look at the actual CDC numbers for mask policies and

465
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: mask mandates, and then which says about that one point

466
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: five percent. But I'm the crazy person for actually, you know,

467
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: they say science. What they mean by science is shut

468
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: up and do what we tell you. Shut up and

469
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: tell me that I'm and tell them that they're right.

470
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: So much of this has become a transference of a

471
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: mass delusion and really a mass psychosis onto other people.

472
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: They're finding ways to blame other people for this, and

473
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: the other people in this case, or anyone who asks

474
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: questions about it, anyone who points out here, I am

475
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: in New York City. I've I've got I've got a

476
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: whole you know, bucket, oh masks by my front door.

477
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: I actually wear a fresh mask every day. You know,

478
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: I do this because I don't. I mean, that's because

479
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: I have to wear a mask, so I don't want

480
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: to wear an old, dirty one. That's because sometimes you

481
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: burp into your mask and you know it's gross. So

482
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting here, I'm telling you I went twelve

483
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: months without getting sick. I have no idea what happened

484
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: to make me get sick now, And that's the whole point.

485
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: And why am I supposed to feel like, oh now

486
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: you must think that it's even more important. No, No,

487
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 1: this is this just shows exactly what I've said all along,

488
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: which is that you don't you know, it's just a

489
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: numbers game and you don't know when your number is

490
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: gonna get called. And all this stuff about the mitigation

491
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: and them handwashing and all that. I mean, this is

492
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: all just it's theater. It's theater. I have known that

493
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: I was at risk of getting COVID for the entire year,

494
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, as soon, of course, as soon as I'm sick,

495
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm quarantining. It's just I have acted like somebody who

496
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: understands that what was true about the flu in many

497
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: ways in terms of transmission and what's reasonable and how

498
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: we can change society and how we can't. What's reasonable

499
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: to think about the flu? Is reasonable about this? No

500
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:18,479
Speaker 1: one when you get the flu, no one says to you, oh, well,

501
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: you must have gotten it because you didn't do X,

502
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: or you must know where you got it. You know

503
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: you did you let up on the did you let

504
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: up on the mitigation? No one says that to you

505
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: because you have no idea. I've gotten the flu before,

506
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: no idea where you get the flu usually, right, I mean,

507
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: unless you get it from somebody in your home. You know,

508
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: that's a that's a pretty good indicator. But in other

509
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: instances you say, I don't know. I just woke up,

510
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: I woke up sick. That's what happened. I woke up

511
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,239
Speaker 1: sick in the morning, and I was sick, and then

512
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: I had to beat it. But the illusion, there's been

513
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: the illusion of control over the virus when really, all

514
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: they've done is established all the lockdowners and the so

515
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: called x worts have established control over you. I've had

516
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: to think of all the theater, all the nonsense that

517
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: I've been through the last year. Couldn't go to the gym,

518
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: gained about you know, ten to fifteen pounds, can't can't

519
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: get on the gym now, can't get on a treadmill

520
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: now without wearing a mask. All the times that I

521
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: did that last year completely irrelevant to me in my

522
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: future and my health because I obviously didn't have COVID

523
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: then and I got it now and I wasn't even

524
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: doing anything. And now I'm sitting here doing a radio

525
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: show for you while I am why I am sick

526
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: with COVID, And it's pretty much exactly what I anticipate. Yeah,

527
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you had you had the you know, the

528
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: body aches, the fatigue, you know, the respiratory symptoms, paying

529
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: the lungs, all the classic stuff. I lost taste and

530
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: smell for a bit. It came back a little bit,

531
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: but it's still pretty shaky. That's the weak that's the

532
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: one that actually weirds you out the most, I think,

533
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: because when you've if you've never had the sensation before

534
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: of biting into your food and it just tastes like

535
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: like empty mush in your mouth. That's a weird thing.

536
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: That can be a bit that's just more psychologically unsettling.

537
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: But so I had all that, and I look back

538
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: on this year, and so I think, so, really, what

539
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: was all the handwashing, all the I got sick? Now,

540
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: I could have gotten six six months ago and never

541
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: had to worry about it again. So why am I

542
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: to think that this was somehow a worthwhile trade off.

543
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I've lost a year of my life. I

544
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: got sick. Anyway, when they actually look at how many

545
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: people I know, they say there are thirty million cases

546
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,239
Speaker 1: in the United States. There are way more than that.

547
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: It's spent, just based on their own numbers, with how

548
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: many people are supposedly asymptomatic and all the rest of it,

549
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: there's way more than that. I mean, we're closer than

550
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: ever to herd immunity. And yet you'll you notice there's

551
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: a bit of a panic, I mean quite obvious panic

552
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: with the CDC director Wilenski, But there's something of a

553
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: panic out there right now for these these high level bureaucrats.

554
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: Even though we're in a better position against COVID than

555
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: we've ever been before. More people have vaccinated, more people

556
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: recovering from infection, and now I'm in this remarkable circumstance

557
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: where I'm expected to keep as I get better, and

558
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna want to go out more and do more things.

559
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm still supposed to mask up. Why that's moronic. There's

560
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: no good reason for you to mask up. I'm immune

561
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,719
Speaker 1: based on everything we know for you know, over a

562
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: century of modern medicine and pandemics and vaccinations. You know,

563
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: for the last hundred years, they would say, okay, you

564
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: had it, you're immune. But now all of a sudden,

565
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: it's well, occasionally there's an outlier, so we can't say

566
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: you're immune. Bull crap. They want to control us. They

567
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: want to control me. The moment I get past my

568
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: quarantine and have and have no more symptoms, I am

569
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: no longer a COVID risk to anyone. Yes, lightning can strike.

570
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: You cannot live your life that way, all right. To

571
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: tell me that there have been a couple of dozen

572
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: reinfections around the world in the last six months or something,

573
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: and that's really the numbers. When you look at the numbers,

574
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: they're shockingly low. A couple of dozen reinfections around the

575
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: world or here in the US, or whatever it is.

576
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: That doesn't justify me continuing to live with this tyrannical bullcrap,

577
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: because there are people who are terrified, and honestly, they've

578
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: embraced a kind of psychology of cowardice. People who are

579
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: my age cannot and should not live in fear of this.

580
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: No one should live in fear of it, but people

581
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: should take more serious precautions based upon whether or not

582
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: they're in the high risk category. Right, That's just the way.

583
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: That's just the way that society has to function, you know, yes,

584
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,239
Speaker 1: it does. It sting a little bit to get this

585
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: two weeks before I'd be available to get the vaccine

586
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: in New York, Yeah, of course, but you know, my

587
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: number got called. My number got called, and yeah, I

588
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: was wearing masks when I was supposed to do in

589
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: the whole thing, big surprise. Still got sick, folks. I'm

590
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: gonna pause here, I'm gonna lose the script, and I'm

591
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have an

592
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: impending doom. We have so much to look forward to,

593
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: so much promise and potential of where we are and

594
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 1: so much reason for hope. But right now I'm scared.

595
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: I know what it's like as a physician to stand

596
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: in that patient room, downed, loved, masked, shielded, and to

597
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: be the last person to touch someone else's loved one

598
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 1: because they're left one couldn't be there. So I'm speaking today,

599
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: not necessarily as your CDC director, or not only is

600
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: your CDC director, but as a wife, as a mother,

601
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: as a daughter, to ask you to just please hold

602
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: on a little while longer. I so badly want to

603
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: be done. I know you all so badly want to

604
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: be done. We are just almost there, but not quite yet.

605
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: What about me? What about the millions of Americans who

606
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: are infected and recovered? We're supposed to wait till When?

607
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: When is it good enough? And when do we get

608
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: to start to really tally the ill effects of the

609
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: continued lockdowns, of continued isolation, the shutdown of businesses. When

610
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: does that actually start to factor into the conversation in

611
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: a meaningful way for people like Welensky. Why is it that,

612
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: as I've said, we're closer than ever to the end here,

613
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: and yet she's talking about impending doom. Yeah, we've we've

614
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: suffered a half a million, half a million deaths from

615
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. We've had tens of millions of infections. We

616
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: have not controlled this. We did not come up with

617
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: some policy to to do anything really other than just

618
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, up and down. As the virus bounced around

619
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: the country. We would react in you know, in terror

620
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: in different places, and then we'd start to open up

621
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: and there would be more cases, or we would not

622
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,959
Speaker 1: open up and there'd be more. It didn't really matter.

623
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: In fact, they're telling you now the problem, the reason

624
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: we're having more infections is because of the change in

625
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: some states mask mandates. Bine just gave a speech about this.

626
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: I don't know was it earlier this week, yesterday, I

627
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: think day before. Here he is saying, this is his

628
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: favorite line, it's here's your patriotic duty, here's your patriotic duty,

629
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: play seventeen. I'm reiterating my call for every governor, mayor

630
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: and local leader to maintain and reinstate the mask mandate. Please,

631
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: this is not politics. Reinstate the mandate if you let

632
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: it down, and business should require masks as well. The

633
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: fairy to take this virus seriously, precisely, what God is

634
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: this mess in the first place? Risk more cases, more desks, deaths.

635
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: Look as I do my part to accelerate the vaccine,

636
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: just to be vaccinations, I need the American people to

637
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: do their part as well. Mask up, mask up. It's

638
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:13,479
Speaker 1: a patriotic duty. It's the only way we ever get

639
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: back to normal. These people are delusional. The mask mandate

640
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: has dropped in Texas for three weeks. I told you

641
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: we would go back and look at this and guess what.

642
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: Texas's cases are going down, down, down, mask mandate still

643
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: in effect. In New York, cases going up, going up.

644
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: A lot people wearing masks outside here. I wear masks

645
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: in New York. Got to no choice. I just got sick.

646
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: What's what's the fauci? I'd answer to that, How is

647
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: it that I'm not in a congregate setting. I live alone,

648
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: I wear a mask, and I get sick. I thought

649
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: it was just if you, if you were being a

650
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: reckless Trump supporter, you get sick. That's what they tell you,

651
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: which is the rude idiocy of all of this. They

652
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: have no idea how most people get sick. Most people

653
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: who get sick have no idea how they got sick,

654
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: just like every other respiratory illness we've ever come across.

655
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: But they have this illusion of control over the virus,

656
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: so they can maintain control over you. Vaccine passports are coming,

657
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 1: they're already in process with them here in New York.

658
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: But the Biden administration, being very sly of course in

659
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: this or thinking they're being very sly, doesn't want to

660
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: be in charge of making you get a vaccine passport.

661
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: So they're they're leading on the private sector to insist

662
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: on this. This is the way this happens. Now, you know,

663
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: it's it's unfortunate. But Democrats, because they've seen so many institutions, Now,

664
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: what the Democrats can't get through government, they want to

665
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: get through private multinational corporations that have tremendous influence and

666
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: are tools of oppression just like the government can be right.

667
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there are a lot of ways

668
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: that that corporations can hurt you. And Democrats used to

669
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: be all about telling corporations what they can and can't do.

670
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: Now that they've seized power in them, we're all supposed

671
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 1: to sit back and say, oh, well, they're private companies. Really,

672
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: aren't Democrats The ones that insist that you bake that cake.

673
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's not that's that's not a private business issue.

674
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: That's about you know, what kind of country we are,

675
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: what kind of side? Okay, well, guess what. We also

676
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: demand political tolerance. We also demand free speech. We demand

677
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: that these these these companies built on one promise to

678
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: the public can't then be turned and transformed into quasi

679
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: government entities working hand in glove with the White House

680
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: to attack political opponents, as we see with social media companies,

681
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: among many others. But vaccine passports are the Biden administration

682
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: is trying to do through the private sector what it

683
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: doesn't want to have to do itself, because it understands

684
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: the problems that come up as a result of this,

685
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: that the challenge that will exist as a result of this.

686
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: For one thing, so I have to get vaccinated. Why

687
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: now not to make this about me, But I'm saying

688
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: anybody who's already been infected, which is millions of millions

689
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: of people I get to get vaccine, really don't even

690
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: get me into Also, so now the government can basically

691
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: take away your ability to live your day to day

692
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: life without unless you're willing to comply with an unprecedented,

693
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: unprecedentedly fast vaccination. Look, I've advocated for vaccines against this

694
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: virus for my own family members who have gotten it,

695
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: So I'm not anti vaccine in general, but I do

696
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: have a problem with vaccine passports, and I do have

697
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: a problem with being told why isn't my natural immunity,

698
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: which which if you look, natural immunity is usually much

699
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: stronger in fact than vaccine derived immunity. Why isn't that

700
00:40:55,280 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: good enough? Why can't that Why doesn't that count? You know, Yeah,

701
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: you could maybe theoretically get reinfected if you've had it naturally.

702
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: You could maybe theoretically get reinfected if you've gotten the

703
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: vacca or not even theoretically it's happened to some people

704
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: with the vaccine. But that's how we're going to build

705
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: the policy. That's how we're going to be thinking about this.

706
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: The possibility of it being imperfect is enough to change

707
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: the way that we order our society around this. That

708
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: seems crazy to me, But there's so many complexities on

709
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: this issue, and there's a lot of moving pieces. But

710
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: you know what this has turned into for members of

711
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: the corporate media, This is an opportunity to bash the

712
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: Trump supporters right. The other rising of anyone who asked

713
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: questions about any COVID policy that doesn't fall in line

714
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: with the Fauciite consensus is constant. It's happening all the time.

715
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: Here is look I mean, for me, Morning Joe is

716
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: the premier MSNBC news program for Latte liberals who are

717
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: Snyde elitists. You know, if you were a B student

718
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 1: in prep school and your parents got you into Brown

719
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: University with a call to the advancement office. But now

720
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: you're all about social justice, you know, as you go

721
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: and do the bidding of golden sacks or whatever, Mourning

722
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: Joe is your cup of tea. But Mourning Joe, this

723
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: guy was member the GOP. Now I don't know. He

724
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: goes on TV tells Snyde liberals what they want to

725
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: hear for his paymasters at MSNBC. I mean, that's that's

726
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: how this goes here. He is just losing his mind

727
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: on TV over vaccine passports. Because this guy, he's not

728
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: very bright, and he's a very insecure and very nasty individual.

729
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: That's well known, and here he is. Play it. If

730
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: I want to go to a baseball game with my son,

731
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: who has a history of upper respiratory issues. I don't

732
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 1: want a bunch of idiots sitting any we're near us

733
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: and Finway or in a Little League baseball park that

734
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: haven't taken the vaccine. Now, if they don't want to

735
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: take the vaccine and they want to die, but if

736
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: they're right as Americans, if they don't have to take

737
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: the vaccine, and they can die or they can get

738
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: really sick, they can live in ignorance and stupidity. They

739
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: have that right, even though they're hurting other people. But please, please,

740
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: please don't tell me that we can't do something. So

741
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: smart people who actually follow science, who actually want to

742
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 1: take care of their children, who actually want to save

743
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: their neighbors' lives, who actually want to make sure everybody

744
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: around them is safe, they can't tell us what to do.

745
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: And the government, our sports teams are organizations, are concert promoters.

746
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: Damn well, better put together something where you can show

747
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: your vaccine receipt or you can have something on a

748
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: ticket stub that shows it. Yeah, show your papers, in

749
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: this case, your scanned code. That's where we are. That's

750
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: what we're turning into as a country here. This is

751
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: what Joe Scarborough wants to have happened. Notice the the

752
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: bile here, Notice the way that he's so nasty, you know,

753
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: if you want to be a moron and you want

754
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: to die and all this stuff. Because in his head

755
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: it's very clear, I mean he thinks this is about

756
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: because he also said this I'm hearing now. Lunatics are

757
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: still pushing back on the masks, saying, if we have

758
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: something that identifies as having a vaccine, we're like Satan

759
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: or the mark of the Devil or Nazi Germany. It's

760
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: beyond idiocy. They're following a failed game show host or

761
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: reality TV host and they don't understand because there's such morons.

762
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: And then he says, I want to go to baseball

763
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: with my son. So he in his head because Joe

764
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: Scarborough is actually not a thoughtful, brighter, worthwhile person. You know,

765
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: he's a home wrecker. He's, you know, a guy who's

766
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: really got a lot of demons. He's decided that the

767
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: only problem of vaccine passports are Trump supporters. Well that's

768
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: fascinating because he doesn't seem to understand that vaccine hesitancy,

769
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 1: which will obviously translate into vaccine passport problems. People that

770
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: don't get vaccinated, can't get vaccine, passports, vaccine. Hesitancy among

771
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: the minority community in this country is very high, remains high,

772
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 1: and that's been a problem for months now. But he'll

773
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: never speak about minority communities that he would assume are

774
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: predominantly Biden voters. In the way that he just spoke.

775
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 1: That was only for the Trump supporters that are problems

776
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,959
Speaker 1: with us, you see, just to give you a sense

777
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: of what a disgraceful hack this guy is. But he's

778
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: got a a national platform and it paid millions of

779
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: dollars to act like a jerk on television, act like

780
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: he's smarter than he is. He says at a baseball game,

781
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: the truth is that there's almost no chance that you're

782
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: going to get COVID from somebody outdoors. It's very, very

783
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:07,959
Speaker 1: very rare. But when it when it comes to them

784
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: wanting to be in control, the possibility is enough. You

785
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 1: notice that the possibility is enough. That's all that it takes.

786
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: And we live in a world where where you're talking

787
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: about so many people and such large numbers, there's always

788
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: a possibility that something won't won't work, will work, something

789
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: will fail, something will get through you can't live your

790
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: life that way. We have abandoned reason and rationality as

791
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: a society because of loudmouth morons like Joe Scarborough. I mean,

792
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: he's just one of countless. There's so many of them.

793
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: But they act like anybody who has a problem with

794
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: the vaccine passport, they're the problem. Okay, well why should

795
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: I have to Why can't I just show my positive

796
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: COVID test? You know? And what you know, why isn't

797
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: is that insufficient? Show me the science on that. Oh

798
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: but if you've had it, you still need to get

799
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: vaccinated because there's still a chance. There's still a chance. Yeah,

800
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,959
Speaker 1: there's always going to be a chance, don't you see.

801
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: But they want the power to tell you when the

802
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: chance is acceptable, you can live your life even though

803
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 1: there's a chance when we say so. That's what this

804
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: is about. That's what they're doing. That's the plan. I mean,

805
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: we're just at the earliest stage of this vaccine passport thing.

806
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: You've got all the privacy concerns. I mean, you're gonna

807
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: be required to carry around this proof of vaccination every

808
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 1: time your scandal will create a digital record of your presence.

809
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: Will there be other health data loaded into this. I mean,

810
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: how are they going to enforce these rules? And could

811
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: this be used for flu shots every year too? Why not?

812
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: If not, why not? What about the future strains of

813
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,240
Speaker 1: COVID that will be out there. There'll be other COVID strains.

814
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: It's never going away entirely. You know, there's so many

815
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: questions about this, but no, just let's let's do this

816
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 1: vaccine passports. It was a conspiracy theory. Now it's a mandate.

817
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: And that's really been the history of the whole pandemic

818
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: from a lockdowners. Oh, that's crazy. We would never do that.

819
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: We would never say if to max up, mask up

820
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 1: after a vaccine, actually now you have to double mask

821
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,919
Speaker 1: after a vaccine according to them,
