WEBVTT - Hidin' Biden Keeps Declinin' 0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:04.920 You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:07.600 you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio Act 0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:11.520 or wherever you get your podcasts. Someone explained to me, 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:16.400 what the point of having thousands of soldiers fencing, barbed wire, 0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.880 all these security precautions in DC, turning it into an 0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:25.120 armed camp around the Capitol. What's the purpose of all that? 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.880 If we're going to shut down Congress? The United States 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:33.280 Congress will say, sorry, we're too frightened right now, we're 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:37.560 too under threat because of something that someone saw on 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.800 the internet. Law enforcement sensitive, that's what they're saying. Can't 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.720 tell you what it is. I know what law enforcement 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:46.920 sensitive means. It's whatever somebody who happens to work for 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:51.160 a law enforcement agency decides to call it. There's really 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:55.040 no specific classifying authority or anything else, and it can 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.200 be very often open source stuff that just happens to 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.319 catch the attention of individuals who maybe looking for, oh, 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:04.679 I don't know, a way to please their bosses, who 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.920 are saying, we got to find some threat reporting here 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.440 because we've been told by the people who write the 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:14.640 checks that that's what needs to happen. Now, I'm not 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.520 saying there isn't a threat. I'm not saying there aren't 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.600 QAnon crazies who have posted stuff on the internet about 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.640 how they're going to storm the coupitl again. But you're 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:26.000 gonna shut down Congress for this? Do we really think 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.600 that this QAnon threat is going to result in a 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:35.040 battalion sized engagement against thousands of National Guard or on 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.000 the Capitol? I mean, is that what we're supposed to believe? 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.000 I just want to know, why are they shutting this down? 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.480 Why would they bend the nee to online lunatics in 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.720 this way unless it's really not about security and safety 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.880 and all that at all. This is something that I 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.560 see here. I used to work in threat reporting and 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.720 in the national security side of things. I was at 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:02.680 the CIA's counter Terrorism Centers, the NYPD's Intelligence Division. So 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:04.440 I can tell you that if you want to find 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:08.040 and any given day you want the ability to say, oh, 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.520 there's a there's a threat. Remember during the early days 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.840 of homeland security. Oh today we're in an orange day. 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:21.520 We're in a yellow day of threat. Maybe it's Shartruz, 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.840 maybe it's more like Burgundy. Oh, I don't know. Does 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.120 it go with my shoes? Remember all that the color 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.400 coded threat days. And at that point there were civil libertarians, 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.400 there were people who were left of center who were 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:36.200 willing to say, this is government overreach, this is madness. 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:41.680 You can't have this. But now the Democrat Party, the left, 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:47.480 the ACLU, all of it, all of it onboard for authoritarianism, 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:51.360 onboard for stamping out discent, destroying the Republican Party, silencing 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:55.360 opposing voices in our politics. It's necessary, you see, to 0:02:55.440 --> 0:03:02.320 defend our republic from the threat of q Anon. I've 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:07.040 never even met somebody who believed in qann. Republicans have 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:11.120 a ninety seven I believe percent negative view of it, 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:15.320 thinking that it's nonsense. And yet here we are being 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:19.160 told and by to get ninety seven percent of people 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.360 aren't sure that, you know, stubbing their toe is a 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.359 bad thing, right, So ninety seven percent is actually pretty high. 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.480 And we're shutting down the Capitol. Why are we doing this? 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.680 Why are we shutting down Congress right now? How has 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.600 this decision been made? You know? I just spoke to 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.080 Congressman Devin Nunas yesterday. He's in the House Intelligence Committee. 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.880 Is there is there any threat reporting that has him worried? No? 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.240 Why is it that only Democrat members of Congress are 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:49.160 speaking to the press about this, because it's about the optics. 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.840 It's about making sure that they can continue with this 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:58.600 narrative that DC that the Capitol, the sacred sanctum of 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.720 our democracy. Right, the United States Capitol Building is under 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.240 a constant threat from QAnon, and by QAnon, they really 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:11.080 just mean Trump supporters. That's the jump that all these 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:16.680 CNN watchers, all the MSNBC viewers immediately make New York 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:20.520 Times readers when when someone writes or says QAnon, what 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.600 they hear is oh, Trump people. And then they feel 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:30.560 very justified with the continuation of the purge of conservative ideas, 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:34.400 of conservatives from social media platforms, kicking them out of 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:39.479 their jobs, having corporations openly spit in their faces with 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:43.520 these ridiculous statements of wokeness. Right, that's what's actually going on, 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.000 but they think it's entirely justified. They have to perpetuate 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:55.440 this exaggerated, this hysterical narrative about how the capital is 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.520 under threatened. At any moment, it could just spill over 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:03.120 and we might lose our democracy unless we have thousands 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:08.280 of soldiers, unless we have a preparation for what looks 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.080 like at foreign invasion in our nation's capital. It's so absurd. 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.400 The people I know who are in DC and who 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.880 are watching this play out just say, it's it's obvious 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.640 that this is for theatrical purposes, that this is so 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.520 that they can have you know, ap AP photographers and 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:29.320 you know Reuters journalists and CNN correspondents standing in front 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.960 of the fenced in Capitol building any moment now, those 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:36.080 Trump supporters, those Trump supporters are going to come after us. 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.440 This is really a similar mentality to your neighbor who 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.440 thinks that if you don't wear three masks when you're 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:47.960 driving alone in your car, you don't take the virus seriously. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.960 This is a state of hysteria. I think we also 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.560 have to remember that because of the panic porn purveyors, 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.680 because of the way that we've all been made to 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:04.520 feel so afraid of coronavirus and have accepted authoritarianism in 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:10.840 America almost without question in many cities. I mean, it's 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:12.400 the cities that have been the worst for this, and 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:17.080 they've just gone along with whatever absurd fauciism has been 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:21.640 inflicted upon us. But you see this, it continues to 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.560 play out, and you realize that the American people are 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:30.000 emotionally a lot of them emotionally unwell. Right now, there 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.640 is a mass psychosis that has descended on this country 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:38.080 along with a viral pandemic, and people are exploiting it. 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.920 This is a time of near universal anxiety and often 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:50.120 exaggerated fear, and there are cynical, ruthless, selfish, power mad 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.840 people in the Democrat Party who want to use this 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.800 to their advantage. They are trying to run the Obama 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.400 administration playbook all over again, but this time, instead of 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:07.520 a financial crisis, it's a viral crisis. Right It's an 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:11.720 epidemiological challenge that we face. And that's the excuse for 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.280 doing whatever they want to do. Remember, you either a 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:19.720 god on board with Obama's stimulus or you didn't care 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.120 about workers. You didn't care about people. Almost a trillion 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.560 dollars spent didn't save the banks that had already been done. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.400 But the Obama administration knew that a crisis was a 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.040 terrible thing to waste, especially if you're an authoritarian who 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.280 believes that your decision making, that your right to govern 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.320 is sacred. Although it doesn't come from God, it comes 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.840 from somewhere else, the state itself, because the state is 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.240 in place of God for Democrats, as you know, oh 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.320 I know, not all but the ones who run things. Yes, 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:53.000 it actually is. Nancy Pelosi is not an action. Nancy 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.480 Pelosi is not a spiritual person. I can assure you that. 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.240 And here we are being told that the capital has 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.880 to be treated like it is under siege, when really 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.920 what you're recognizing here is that freedom is under siege 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:10.760 in America right now, that the optics that they're creating 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.600 are meant to infringe upon your rights. The optics they're 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:20.600 creating gives the excuse for further crackdowns, for treating political 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:25.840 and policy disputes as though there existential crises for the 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.800 United States of America. This is how the Democrats come 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:33.160 into office. They promise normalcy. Are you feeling any normalcy yet? 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.600 Does this seem like things are going in the right direction? 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.640 Do you think that they're actually doing the things that 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.760 they promised during the election. I mean, so far, Biden 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:47.560 as visibly declining Democrat figurehead who just shuffles around mumbling 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.320 and signing whatever the activists and special interests put in 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:54.080 front of him, is working out exactly as predicted by 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:59.280 people like me. This is what you get. They promise technocracy, 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:03.320 they promise sound government that'll make things better for all 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.600 people that come in, and they focus on an open border, 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:12.440 transgender athletes, climate change, catastrophism, and controlling and micromanaging every 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.080 aspect of your life. This is what they do with 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.679 the power they've been given. Oh and now they're passing 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.360 a COVID relief bill that they've stalled for months and months. 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:27.120 You know, thousands and thousands of businesses have gone under forever, 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:33.439 people's life's work ruined, gone, families impoverished because Nancy Pelosi 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:38.520 wanted things to work out in her favor politically. I 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:42.120 didn't care about this. She wanted leverage, So they've delayed this. 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.240 Here we are in March, and we're still wondering when 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.840 will there be a coronavirus relief bill because this one 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:53.360 is just a Democrat wishless bill that happens to throw 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.360 in some nineteen relief so that they can make a 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.400 claim that we all know is ridiculous that the focus 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.560 of this is about helping the American people from COVID, 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.160 when the real focus of this is Democrats spending money 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.400 on whatever the heck they want. But they don't want 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.160 you to pay attention to that. You're not supposed to 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.760 see that. You know, you're supposed to see the barbed wire, 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.559 the fences, the National Guard soldiers deployed around our nation's 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:19.280 capital as a warning to anybody who would stand against 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:23.559 them and say, are you with the insurrectionists? Be quiet, 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.840 take what you're given. We're in charge. Now. That's the 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.720 normalcy that Biden is bringing to you. You're in the 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:34.439 freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The buck Sexton Show podcast. 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:40.280 Get the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. Well, look, 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.040 I think the actions of the new democratic administration are 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:47.840 unifying the Republican Party. We've had some eternal back and 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:52.320 forth that's been widely covered, but nothing has unified the 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.040 Republican Party in both a House and the Senate faster 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.320 then reacting to this new left wing administration. So we're 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.560 looking forward. We're not going to look backward. We're looking forward, 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.480 dealing with the problems America has today, not the problems 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:09.760 ahead yesterday. And as I said, I have sensed in 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.520 our conference, and I think in the House Republican conference 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.480 as well, a new sense of unity pulling together to 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:23.880 oppose this left wing administration. Nothing unites Republicans like the clownishness, fecklessness, 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:29.560 and authoritarianism of the Democrat Party. These people are not 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:35.560 better at governing Democrats, Joe Biden, They're not smarter. They're 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.640 not bringing us together. It's like the country's being run 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.200 by the people writing the comments section an MSNBC, and 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.079 it's working out exactly as we thought. Gas price is 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.679 going up, employing, unemployment going up, people feeling shakier about 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.960 the economy and about the future. And what is the 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:59.400 activist left want? Doctor Seus's books getting banned. That's their focus. 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.080 That's what they decide. Oh, I know, you'd say, put 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:07.440 buck They made the decision themselves. Yeah, because they realized 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.400 that they were gonna get got by the left. They 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:14.840 were coming after them, So it's preemptive canceling. What could 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.640 be better than that. That's the whole point. Censors only 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.720 have to censor so much before they want you to 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.440 start doing it yourself. That's what social media is all about. 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.720 That's the reason that they keep banning people like me 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:31.800 from pulling out how stupid these lockdowns are. Because if 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.120 I get kicked off of social media. If I get 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.600 suspended or demonetize, or any number of things which keeps 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.600 happening to me, a lot of other people realize, well, 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:40.960 I don't want to deal with that. I'll just go 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.400 I'll just tow the party line. I'll just say what 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.400 I'm told, I'll do what I'm told. So they're making 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.920 their decisions. This is the chilling effect on speech. We 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.720 talk about having a society that upholds free speech. No, 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.240 that speech is being chilled like it's all in an 0:12:56.200 --> 0:13:00.800 igloo somewhere on top of a glacier. It's freezing. But 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.920 this is where we are. This is the country that 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:10.120 we're dealing with right now, because unfortunately, the corporate media, 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.920 coupled with a pandemic, was enough to convince people that 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.120 somehow Joe Biden was a better steward of the economy 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.760 or would be and would make better foreign policy decisions 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.680 than his predecessor. And now we're all starting to see 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.160 what that reality is. The good news is that the 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:29.680 Democrats created a perception of something of some one with 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:34.000 Joe Biden that simply does not exist. Does not exist. 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.560 Joe Biden is visibly in decline. We can all see it. 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.360 The guy's too old for the job. I said it 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.920 all along. I stand behind that, and the fact that 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.240 he hasn't held the press conference in over forty days. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.600 I thought this was going to be a transparent administration. 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:52.959 I thought that they were going to have journalists that 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.080 would ask hard questions. I mean, that's laughable. We all 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.840 know that's laughable. But here we are, and what exactly 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.960 have they done that makes the lives of the American 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:06.040 people better? Having a crisis at the border that's supposed 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.280 to make us feel better, that's supposed to help us. 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:14.840 I don't understand how anybody can view what's happened since 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.760 Joe Biden has come into power and think that somehow 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:23.640 this is good for the country. Even Mitch McConnell himself 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.560 is saying, look, the crisis at the border is of 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:30.640 their creation. Play fourteen is Secretary of Mayorkas, the head 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:35.440 of the Homeland Security says there's no crisis at the border. Well, 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:40.280 that's absolutely incorrect, And the crisis was created by the 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:44.760 administration sending a message to desperate people who want to 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:49.400 come here that just hang on, you'll get in sooner 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:54.560 or later. And of course the Mexican government done will 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:58.560 become less cooperative. One thing the previous administration did an 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:03.880 excellent job of any objective standard was border security, and 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.400 all of that is being undone very quickly in this 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.760 new administration. They own this crisis and the border. They 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.240 created it, and they could stop it if they chose to. 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.600 You know, there are illegal immigrants who are showing up 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.080 at the border. I'm serious, this was just reported today 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:25.800 wearing Biden let us in T shirts. They know exactly 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.840 what's going on. This isn't hard to figure out. And 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.800 this is like being told that you can just show 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.000 up with a winning lottery ticket. Now you got the 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:38.360 Biden administration in why go through years of immigration law 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.960 hassle and doing all these things and get your fees it, 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.480 get your green card, get no no, no no, just 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.800 show up, show up with a Biden let us in 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:50.760 T shirt. And the Democrats will recognize that this is 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:52.800 a political advantage for them to have more and more 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.760 people coming into the country who will owe their status 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.920 in the US to the Democrat Party and will also 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:02.760 need more assistance on average from the state from the 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.600 government than other immigrants than other Americans will. So of 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.640 course we understand who they're going to vote for in 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.120 the aggregate, not all of them, but seventy five to 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.280 ninety percent of them. And that's why Democrats are all 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.800 in favor of this. That's all this is. Do you 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:20.160 think it really matters if Biden is a buffoon, if 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.960 Biden doesn't govern well, if they can just create new 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.720 Democrat voters at will by kicking the border wine open, 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.440 you think that we're really going to win this. Look 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.320 at the trends right now. You have social media shutting 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:37.040 down conservatives. You have the biggest the biggest media companies 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.320 and platforms in the world, just the biggest companies really 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.800 now in the world are woke. They are anti conservative. 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.720 And this is all happening at a time when the 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.720 Democrats have full control, unified control really of the government. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.760 I know the Senate is technically split, but it's a 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:59.040 de facto majority for the Democrats. And instead of trying 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.720 to bring us together, instead of showing people that the 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.120 Democrats will do a good job, I mean, I would 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.359 be happy to show up here one day and saying, wow, guys, 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.040 this Democrat plans really working out. I mean, look at 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:11.840 how much it's helping the American people. Look at how 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.320 this is really getting things going. Maybe we should, you know, 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.200 take a page from their playbook and the next time 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.600 around we'll try it. I'd be happy to do that 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.639 some day on something. Not a single thing could I 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.920 say that about? Not one, not one decision that Biden 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:30.200 has made since coming into office that was opposed by Republicans? Right, 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.240 So yes, getting people vaccinated. Of course it's a good idea. 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:34.879 This was already happening. Mean, there are things that are 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:36.920 going on with the government that are good. I'm not crazy, 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.919 But not a single change with this administration from the 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:45.240 previous administration on policy has been intelligent, has been good. 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:49.040 There's nothing what are they doing? So instead they want 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:52.800 to silence and shut you down? Then if they have to, 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:57.560 they'll just make new voters.

I 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.680 hope everybody's realized by now these masks make a difference. 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:11.040 We are on the crust book being able to fundamentally 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.960 change the nature of this disease because of the way 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:18.720 which you're able to get vaccines in people's arms. We've 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.280 been able to move that all the way up to 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.560 the end of May to have enough for every American 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:26.080 to get every adult American to get a shot. And 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.280 the last thing, the last thing we need is neanderthal 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:32.080 thinking that in the meantime, everything's trying to take off 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:36.800 your masks. Forget it. It still matters. I carry a 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:38.560 card and they don't have it. I put it on 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:43.119 my desk a less. As of yesterday, we've lost five 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:47.159 hundred eleven thousand, eight hundred and seventy four Americans. They 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:51.560 will lose thousands more. This will not occur. We might 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.199 have everybody vaccinated, so sometime in the summer we have 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:57.160 the vaccine to do it. Getting a shot in someone's 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.960 arm and getting the second shot, you're gonna take time, 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:06.680 and is critical, critical, critical, critical that they follow the science. 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:13.159 Wash your hands hot water, do it frequently, where a mask, 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:17.399 and stay socially distance. And I know you all about that. 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.359 I wish the heck some of our elected efficially do it. 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.160 So fact you very much. Yeah for the science, Yeah, 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.639 the science, you know, the actual science in terms of 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:29.800 the data. I don't like this term the science, as 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:31.840 though that is an argument end or they use this. 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:34.480 They use the term and Biden does this all the time, 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:38.080 has all along the science to mean, listen to what 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.480 I'm dictating to you as a policy matter or else. 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.520 There's a difference between data and decision making. But they 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.720 try to cloud this, They try to create a confusion 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.840 between those two things. Right, I can look at data 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:55.080 and say, hmm, there's a lot of other factors now 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:56.840 that I have to consider before I make a decision 0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:59.640 about what to do as a result of it. Right, 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:01.680 And this comes into play now when you have people 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:05.560 that are already bringing up the possibility of masking up 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:09.679 and social I mean social distancing isn't a policy. It 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:12.480 just means human beings staying away for other human beings, 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:15.560 which doesn't work in practice. In America, people around other 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.600 people all the time. We have no way of actually 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:22.679 separating people from people for over a year, it doesn't work. 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.920 As the numbers all across America's show. And for people 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:27.600 that are saying, well, what about this country? What about 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.320 that country? Every country is different in terms of its 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:36.120 age profile, obesity, comorbidities, previous exposure of the general population 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.160 to coronaviruses that may be similar to this one. Every 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:42.920 country is different our country. You see the numbers yourself, 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:46.719 do you think that the mitigation measures all worked. They're saying, oh, 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.600 I will Joe Barnel will say fifty thousand lives, fifty thousand, 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:53.760 not forty eight fifty thousand lives if we mask up. 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:56.280 How do they come to that number? All they did 0:20:56.280 --> 0:21:00.439 some modeling. They've got some people who are sitting at 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:02.760 computers and throw some numbers in there, you know, the 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:04.359 same way that they tell you what the temperature is 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.320 going to be, the global average temperature will be in 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:10.960 fifty years, which they will be wrong, guaranteed. And then 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.560 they'll say, oh, but now we figured out why they're wrong, 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:17.560 so the next fifty years will be critical. The same 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:21.280 thing you're seeing over and over again. I see all 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:25.040 this happening right now, and I gotta tell you it's 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:31.960 it's stunning to me, honestly, how long it's taken for 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:36.680 people to realize what a clown show it has been. 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:39.280 With the people in charge here making all these decisions. 0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:43.800 These public health experts, public health officials, most people that 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:50.080 work in a municipal public health function are slightly more 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:54.600 impressive than your average DMV employee. That's the truth, slightly. 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:56.560 I actually went to the DMV in New York recent 0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:59.040 I gotta say, lady was working with me, very polite, 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:03.800 went pretty well. But these people have been making decisions 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:07.119 that are having enormous impact on lives, and they're doing it, 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:09.959 they say, because they're saving lives. Where is the evidence 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:16.280 of that, Biden saying it's neanderthal thinking to change change 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:18.640 some of our restrictions in different states. Do you think 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.399 he'll apologize for that when, as I've said, we're going 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:23.159 to come back to this in the middle of April. 0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:26.520 We're going to see did Texas cases continue to just 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:31.520 go in a straight line decline down? Because if mitigation 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:34.879 measures in place at government mandate different than what you 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:36.680 want to do yourself. If you want to wear two masks, 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:38.680 you want to wear ten masks, you want to stay 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:42.640 home for the next six months, go for it. This 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:45.200 was always a question not about what somebody should be 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:49.040 able to do as an individual to protect themselves. That's 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.640 up to you, that is an individual right now. This 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.199 was always about what all of us are made to 0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:59.280 do because of the excess anxiety and authoritarian tendency that's 0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:03.800 out there right now. This is about being forced to 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:06.919 do things in the name of the defense of the 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:12.440 collective health that have real world consequences for people. Destruction 0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:14.800 of businesses. I mean, how many of you would be 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:19.160 willing to take pretty extreme risks to prevent your business 0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:22.720 or your job from going away, your bank account from 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:26.280 going to zero, perhaps racking up ten, fifteen, twenty thousand 0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:28.439 dollars of credit card debt during this period that you 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:30.639 won't be able to get out of. I mean, the 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:35.280 financial ruination of lives is a real consequences. It's not 0:23:35.320 --> 0:23:37.520 just a little thing. It's not about people just want 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:40.280 to get a hair cut. Remember that. That's what That's 0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:45.439 the snide, dismissive garbage that the morons at CNN and 0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:48.600 other places we're pushing out there to the public when 0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:50.680 we were saying, hold on to these lockdowns really work? 0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:53.000 Is this really sensible? Why are we doing this? Why 0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:56.760 have we never done this before? Never in the history 0:23:56.920 --> 0:23:59.320 You have to remember this, because the gas lighting is 0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:03.200 constant and all this stuff. Never before in the history 0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:08.680 of modern medicine. Okay, never before since we've even known 0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:14.119 about antibiotics, have we done mass quarantine, which is what 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:18.359 this is. This is mass quarantine or quasi quarantine, mass masking. 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:23.040 All this stuff never happened before. We've been through terrible 0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:25.920 flue seasons that killed tens of thousands of people. We've 0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:29.320
