WEBVTT - It's Time To Free America 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:16.000 You are entering the freedom hunt. American needs its freedom 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:20.440 time to reopen. Plus YouTube is censoring those doctors from 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.800 California who broke with the consensus over the lockdown. From 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:27.200 a right to be believed to a right to be heard, 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:31.320 Democrats changing the rules over the allegations against Joe Biden. 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.919 Plus should businesses be liable for COVID risks to employees? 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:40.040 Are we heading for a meat shortage? And Pence mask gates? 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:44.040 That are more coming up. This is the bus Sexon Show, 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.120 where the mission or mission is to decode what really 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:54.600 matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake your great American 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:59.800 Again the Buck Sex and Show begins. Analysts remember the animal, 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:06.959 he's a great guy. As our nation battles against this 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.000 terrible scorch, we continue to pray for the victims as 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.919 well as for those Americans who are grieving. They're lost 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.360 ones and they loved ones. There's never been anything like this. 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.080 We suffer with one heart, but we will prevail. We're 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.240 coming back, and we're coming back strong. We built the 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.640 greatest economy anywhere in the world two months ago, and 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.800 we're gonna build it again. We're going to build it fast. 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.560 It's going to go very quickly. And Larry, thank you 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.759 for being here very much. It's you see what's going 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:38.440 to happen. I think you have the same fielding as 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.240 I do. It's going to come back very fast. I 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.560 certainly hope the President's right. Welcome to the buck Sexton Show, everybody, 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:48.800 Thank you so much for joining. Oh man, it is time. 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.680 It is time for us to finally say it. We 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.560 need to reopen this country and this needs to be 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.440 happening faster than it currently is. I know that there's 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.400 all this guidance. I know that there is a desire 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:07.160 to make this go slowly and safely, and the time 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.960 is now different paces for different places. New York should 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.120 be a little bit slower, should be quite a bit 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.800 slower than some states, and somewhat slower than others. But 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.720 we can't continue doing this. This has been a bit 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.400 absurd now for a while. In my opinion, there are 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:29.200 states where you have like Texas has thirty million people, 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.239 about twenty nine million people and six hundred deaths. The 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.200 state's been shut down for going on two months. Now, 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.520 what are we doing? What the heck is this? Now? 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.359 I know Texas is starting to open up in other 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:46.480 states are beginning this process. You have a partial reopening 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:52.720 already in Montana, Minnesota, Colorado, Oklahoma, Colorado ninety three seven 0:02:53.040 --> 0:03:01.119 FM Denver, what's up? But Colorado opening up partially, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Georgia, 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.079 which got a lot of attention from the media trying 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:07.720 to scared Georgia's governor Kemp away from a reopening. South Carolina, Mississippi, 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:12.679 They're all opening up or have already begun that process. 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.000 A lot of states, a lot of other states have 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:26.320 orders expiring tomorrow April thirtieth. With that, you've got Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Alabama, Florida, 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.000 and they are in the process. Then I'm also opening. 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.560 But then you get into what are at Maine also 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.120 by the way, we'll be opening up. And then you 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.840 get into a whole bunch of other states that are 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.480 shut down or restricted with no immediate end in sight. 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.400 All of the Northeast, all the really what we consider 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.040 the East coast before you get down to South Carolina. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.320 So from North Carolina all the way up to New Hampshire, 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:59.640 lockdown our entire west coast, California, Oregon, Washington, lockdown, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:06.720 the Midwest, the industrial Midwest, Ohio, Michigan lockdown. How long 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.480 are they going to continue to do this? Nobody really 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:10.600 knows at this point, because they're also putting in place 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.800 rules and regulations that are going to make it very 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:17.800 difficult for them to have real progress without setbacks. And 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.520 this is what I think everyone needs to know beforehand. 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.039 This needs to be established early in this process. If 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.880 we start opening states and then go back to full 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.200 on lockdown in those states, it's going to be disastrous. 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.760 How do you prepare an economy for that? How do 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.839 you prepare people psychologically for that? No, we've done the 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.240 lockdown thing. We get it, we know the mitigation measures. 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:46.000 We understand that there's not a cure for this disease 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:50.240 and that the treatments for it are substandard. Right now, 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.480 they're not sufficient, they're not good enough. Although I did 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.960 see we'll talk about the good data to day for 0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:02.640 rimdsevere from Gilead Gilead Pharmaceuticals. Hopefully, all we have to 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.520 do is have something that would make the mortality rate 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:10.000 for those who are hospitalized, which is a small percentage 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.680 of people who overall even get the disease. If we 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:17.200 bring that mortality rate for the hospitalized down by fifty 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:22.839 sixty seventy percent, then this becomes an entirely manageable health problem. 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.760 Right now, it's more of a challenge and much more 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.000 of a threat because of the mortality of those who 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.240 are over seventy you go to the hospital. Imagine if 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.120 we can get to the place where you're over seventy five, 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.479 you're in the hospital of COVID, they have something that means, 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.200 you know, you got a nine out of ten shot 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.000 of making it out of that hospital. It would be 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:41.719 a game changer. Right. I don't want to get our 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.280 hopes up because who knows how far away this will be. 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.320 But some good data from Gile out of Pharmaceuticals on 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:51.400 ramdessevere culture scene is also going to have some data 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.440 coming out soon. This is I've been hearing about this 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.080 from doctor friends in New York for a few weeks now. 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.400 There's a big study out of Montreal and they're hoping 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:06.159 the cultures scene will prevent a will prevent the inflammatory 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.440 response in the lungs that's what ends up killing people 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:12.240 ards which is part of it, or which comes during 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.240 this site, or is tied in with the sight of 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.960 ken Storm Gosh reading about all this health stuff. I 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:18.800 gotta tell you, who would have thought it's It's like 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.280 we're all living in one long web MD article these days. 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.800 But we got to open the states. We have to 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.640 do this. It needs to be a mentality that we share. 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.520 The data is not supportive of the lockdowns anymore. If 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.800 you really look at it, it's not supportive of the lockdowns. 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.520 There are mitigation measures that should be kept in place, 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.039 there are certain things that we're going to have to 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.520 be doing for a while, but the overall lockdown approach 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.560 is just not what we should be doing. And that's 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.040 why I understand states are reopening and we're moving into it, 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.480 But I'm saying we need to move this faster. This 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.040 needs to go faster than it has so far. People 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.400 need to go. We keep saying, go back to work. 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.159 We need to get back to living our lives. We 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.520 need to get back to having the basic freedom in 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.520 our day to day of where we're going to go 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.160 and who we're going to see. That's a part of 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.720 life too. You know, we're all in what is effectively 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.440 this this true mass mass incarceration. You often hear liberals 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:20.320 talk about mass incarceration as a political issue, but we 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.760 have been in a mass incarceration. Yeah. Sure, you can 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.440 go out for essentials. But you know, if you're under 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:29.760 house arrest under some circumstances, I mean official criminal house arrest, 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.280 you can still go to the hospital. You still have 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.800 some you can go to doctor's appointments. There are things 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.840 they let you do. So yeah, okay, we can maybe 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:39.600 go out for a walk if you wear a mask. 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.200 It's gotten, it's gotten to the point where we just 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.600 have to say enough is enough, and we're there. I 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.720 think you've all been there for a while. I'm here 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.360 in New York. I've been building to this point. But 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.920 none of this like, oh, maybe this is going to 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.960 drag on for eighteen months. Maybe we're gonna have to 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.720 lock down again in a month, or we're gonna lock 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.280 down again in September. No, that's wrong. We shouldn't do that. 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.640 The data doesn't support it. It's not saving lives the 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.200 way they claimed it would when you line it up 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:14.840 against places that did not do lockdowns. This is looking 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:20.440 increasingly like an overreaction, a panic move that the administration 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:26.720 and states were pushed into for a combination of the 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.120 media frenzy around this issue after being completely wrong and 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.199 downplaying it when when the media's panic would have been 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.160 perhaps helpful. They were telling us it was no big deal, 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:38.920 that this wasn't go this wasn't gonna hit us that hard. 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.720 And then when we all realize that it was going 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.520 to actually hit this country very hard and cause a 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.800 lot of a lot of mass death and casualties, then 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.800 the media's response was lockdown for as long as it 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.640 takes everywhere. And if you're a post that you're a 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.440 bad person, you want to sacrifice old people to die, 0:08:55.800 --> 0:09:00.160 that's what they say. It's nonsense, it's it's just wrong. 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.800 But this is now a major, a major fight we 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.920 have on our hands because there are places that want 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.760 to do whatever they can to drag this out as 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.680 long as they can, and the politicians who are in charge. 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.680 You must remember this. Politicians will always disappoint you. They're 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.040 not as good as they pretend to be, and they're 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:19.600 not as good as a lot of people want to 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:23.600 believe they are. Government is inapt by its nature. That's 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.800 why our founders wanted a very limited and clearly delineated 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.760 series of authorities and powers for the government. That's why 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.760 the focus wasn't on how do we have super geniuses 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.839 in charge that can make all of our decisions for us? 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.800 That socialism that state is. Another focus was here are 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:41.360 the things you're allowed to do, and here the rights 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:45.400 that individuals have that the state cannot trespass upon. Oh 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.400 there's been a lot of trespassing on those rights though, 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.760 hasn't there. There's been a lot of that going on 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:55.480 and not nearly enough pushback on it. Elon Musk, who, 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.840 whether you love Tesla or not, is certainly a dynamic 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:04.440 and brilliant fellow. He tweeted out earlier. Well, it was 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:10.240 I guess late last night, free America now in all caps. 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.160 I share the sentiment. It's time to free up this country. 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.920 We can figure this out as we go along. We 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.480 can take necessary steps to protect people in high risk 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.280 groups and in high risk areas without shutting down the 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:29.800 whole country. This was a mistake. The across the board 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:34.320 lockdown was the wrong decision. I understand why Trump felt 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:38.680 tremendous pressure. I understand why different states and governors even 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:43.200 felt a pressure to do this lockdown some states maybe, 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:47.679 and really it's just new York, New Jersey, Michigan, some states. 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.400 You could have justified this for two to four weeks, 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.800 but we've gone We've gone past it. It has reached 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.079 its expiration date, and all of this focus on oh, 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.120 we need the testing, and the testing will be in place, 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.800 and without that note, we have to start living life again. 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.880 We have to accept this. I'm going to be somebody 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:06.720 who's out in the red zone in New York City. 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.960 I will be I'm already going to stores and outside 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.480 interacting with people. But I'm somebody who's going to be 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.880 living in the highest risk part of the country. But 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.360 I'm a relatively low risk by age individual, and I'm 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.600 willing to take the risk. And I know that that 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.679 means there's going to have to be some other procedures 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:27.080 in place for those of us who do have people 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:28.680 in our lives who are at higher risk. And I 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.280 understand that this might mean that some people have to 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:37.679 continue on a regiment of extraordinary caution for the weeks 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.120 and months ahead. But we're more likely to have an 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.280 economy that can beat the virus, who are more likely 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.680 to be able to sustain frontline medical personnel, pay them, 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.640 keep them in status at the hospital where they're actually 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.000 doing things to help people, and help people who don't 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.120 have COVID nineteen. By the way, if those of us 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:59.000 who are at lower risk are productive and engaged, you know, 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:00.920 we have to remember it, some one, What exactly are 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.960 we fighting for. I'm not fighting for the I'm not 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:07.640 fighting for a future of being safe at home and 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.200 having a fridge full of food and we'll talk about 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:14.200 the possible meat shortage later. No, we want we want 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.360 the liberty to pick what our future will be, and 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.480 that means the right to make individual decisions that entail 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:24.040 some degree of risk. There's been a fundamental shift away 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.640 from this that's happened in our society where you have 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:30.960 this this panic ism or safety ism, as Heather McDonald 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.400 called it in her article this week. And we do 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:38.360 not live lives of safety ism. We live lives of 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:44.000 balanced and assessed risk of all different kinds and of 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:49.440 many different ways. Free American. Now Elon says, I'm with him. 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:55.040 It's time you're in the freedom. This is the Buck 0:12:55.120 --> 0:13:01.560 Sex and Show podcast. Now. I can understand that there's 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:05.280 a tendency to think others, especially those who are in charge, 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:10.000 especially those who do not share a similar philosophical foundation 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.320 about government, the state, individual rights as you and I do. 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.240 You would think that they are also seeing the situation 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.320 with clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose, so that they're 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.480 seeing this in a way that all of us can 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.280 start from a premise that we hold some things in 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.480 common about what's going on and what should be done 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:35.800 in this country. Unfortunately, we are now in for quite 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.600 a struggle because there are number of different factors coming together. 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.880 There's a mass panic, a massister area over this where 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.080 it's very hard to penetrate this with facts and data. 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:50.280 There is a enormous political motive which we're not supposed 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.200 to talk about. And the political motive, of course is 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.439 to make sure that the economy, the economy can suffer 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.520 and suffer and suffer, which is going to hurt Trump's 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.920 reelection chances. We all know that. And the people that 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.760 are pushing for a more suffering economy are going to 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.400 say we were saving lives, so they get to feel 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:11.680 self righteous about it too. And then you have the States, 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.160 and people forgot this, but states, once they have a 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.600 taste of certain powers, the people in charge think that 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.640 they should continue to wield those powers. They do not 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.160 want to give them back. They do not say, yeah, 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:26.200 that was fun, but or that was necessary, but we're 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:30.080 going to move on to something else. And that's what 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:34.120 we're facing now. We're facing that recognition and realization and 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:38.240 also that there are private sector businesses that are willing 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:42.600 to go along with efforts to suppress dissent, to shut 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:47.040 down the discussion that all of us should be having 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:51.240 about what's an intelligent response given where we are right now. 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.080 I mean, there's the focus on what has happened, and 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.040 we do some of that here, but I'm most concerned 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:58.400 on how quickly can we get things back up and running. Remember, 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.520 the economic damage here is time delayed. We're not going 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:06.120 to really understand how many businesses are not going to reopen, 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:10.200 how much the debt that we're accruing is going to 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.920 drag on our economy and future growth, and also the 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.360 changes in daily life and the way that they're going 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.640 to affect even once we start to reopen, how they're 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.520 going to affect different industries and businesses they're out there, 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:24.400 and what that means for people. There's going to be 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:31.040 an enormous shift of workers, of wealth, of time, allocation 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:35.440 of careers and that can be a painful process. In 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.040 the end, maybe you get to a better place through 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.640 that kind of economic evolution, But in the short term, 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.400 it means a lot of people without a check. It 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.040 means a lot of people who are going to be 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:48.080 going through a painful time. And we're just starting to 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.440 really get a sense of how broad that is and 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.960 what that's really going to look like for months, if 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.720 not perhaps a year or two ahead of us. You know, 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.480 if this were so easy, if it were possible to 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.160 just have the government right checks to keep an economy going, 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.920 why shouldn't we just give ourselves an eight week paid 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:12.840 vacation every year courtesy of Uncle Sam. There would be 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.480 no good reason unless there were negative consequences to that 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.480 for all of us, and we understand that there are 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.680 negative consequences, but no one has been focused on that. 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:22.720 Now we've been told stay home, you'll get money, you'll 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:27.440 get paid, and we'll send you cash. Just make sure 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.960 you've got plenty of mac and cheese and soda in 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.720 the fridge and whatever else, and everything's going to be fine. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.800 People want to go back to work. People are tired 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:42.720 of this, and the data does not support this. Continued 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.680 across the board shutdown. I have to keep repeating that 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:50.280 just because we have to get this through into people's heads. Yes, 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.600 this disease is dangerous, particularly dangerous to a certain percentage 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.640 of the population. Yes, it has been a horrible death 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:01.040 pull so far. We were not prepared for this, and 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:06.040 it's a stunning it's a stunning failure of government to 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.480 have been able to handle this better. Fine, all true, 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.520 But now now I want to see more and more 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:20.080 states adopting the policies of individual freedom and economic choice 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.439 that we should all have as part of our day 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.639 to day lives. I mean, New York they're talking about this. 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.439 Might you know, we got a twelve step program and 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.719 we got to have this amount of tracing for this 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.440 amount of individual They're never going to be able to 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.720 test and trace. Give me a break, They're never gonna 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:37.320 be able to do this. They've never been able to 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.800 do this for a disease at this scale and this 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.240 speed of spread. And we think that now we're going 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.040 to figure this out, and you're going to New York 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:50.400 is doing this. We're gonna pin our hopes for returning 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:55.000 to some degree of not just normalcy, some degree of 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.560 a life that we get up and look forward to 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.560 with things to do, with the ability to go out 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.600 there and make a difference and make choices. We're going 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.600 to pin that on government setting up a test and 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:10.720 trace program that is well beyond not just their capabilities now, 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:12.399 but no one really thinks they're gonna be able to 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.680 do this, think of the resources involved and for what 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.240 So that we have a better idea of where there 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.439 are infections in the country than we would based on 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:24.080 people who currently know that they're infected based on the symptoms, 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:26.000 and then go and get a test. We're going to 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:31.159 try to track all asymptomatic carriers. I keep hearing that 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.120 that's the plan, and then I look around and I say, 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.240 that can really be the plan? Is it? But no, 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.960 it is for them, it is. And it's very political too, 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.040 because if you go against test and trace, if you 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.439 go too fast, guess what, it's all Trump's fault. That's 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:45.399 what they're going to say, because the federal government should 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:50.600 be doing it. Thanks for listening to The Bust. Remember 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:54.000 to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.640 wherever you get your podcasts. This is a time when 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:03.600 it's particularly important that we have open and free dialogue, debate, 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:07.000 discussion about what's happening in the country, because it affects 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.640 all of us. Nobody is immune from this, no one 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.360 is unaffected by It is something that we are all 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:18.040 very much dragged into in the middle of and has 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:22.280 a really negative impact on us. The shutdown across the nation, 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.560 the shutdown of our states, of our businesses, of the economy. 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:30.320 This has affected everyone that I know. This has affected 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:33.320 me and my business too. This is not a good time, 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:37.000 a fun time to be in particular media that doesn't have, 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:41.480 you know, a legacy corporate entity that owns it, right, 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:43.160 I mean, you know where I'm not doing a radio 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:47.040 show for a company that is, you know, owned by 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:49.359 Disney or you know, it's it's not one of these 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:53.119 massive conglomerates along the lines of what you have at 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:54.959 the cable at some of the big cable news network. 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.800 So everyone's affected by this. I mean everyone is being 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.439 just because of ad revenue, the lack of demand and everything. 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:04.119 And that's just on the economic side, on the psychological side, 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.720 on the health side. And I might have a chance 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.120 to talk to you about what we're seeing early stage 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:12.480 of this, what we're seeing based on the data in Oregon, 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.719 mortality data in Oregon, and what that is telling us. 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.119 It's not what you would think right now based on 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:21.119 a lot of the narrative around COVID nineteen, but we 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.640 should be hearing from experts. And one thing that has 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:27.520 been consistent is that we were told for weeks, do 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:32.080 your part to help the frontline medical workers. Stay home, 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:34.919 shut up, wear a mask. We don't want to hear it. 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.119 Do your part. That's what that was really the message. 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:38.520 I mean maybe they were a little more gentle with 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.960 it than that, but that's more or less what it 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:46.040 boiled down to. If you want to help us, if 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:49.320 you want to help the medical workers, you absolutely have 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:53.000 to not be out and trying to be living other 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.520 parts of your life. You have to stay home. Okay, Well, 0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:58.240 now we've got doctors who are coming forward to We're 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.920 saying increasingly, no, I don't want to do that. This 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:03.439 doctor at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, which has 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.760 been hit very badly. Those of you are familiar with 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.439 in New York City don't know the Bronx pretty well. 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:14.000 It's an area that has had a really high for hospitalizations, 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:17.480 a large number of hospitalizations, but also, the mortality rate 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:20.800 has been high and minority, the minority community in the Bronx. 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.199 The Bronx is a very large minority community in general, 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.119 they've been hit particularly badly by this, and it's just 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:30.560 it's been brutal, it's been terrible. A doctor who's a 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:33.720 frontline er doc in Barnabas hospitals like, look, here's what's 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:35.240 really going on. He wrote this in the New York 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:38.280 Post over the weekend. He says, there's there's some terrible 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:43.320 stuff happening here, but it is only really affecting the 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:46.200 population that we had thought all along was at highest risk, 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:49.320 and we're doing the best we can for that population. 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:53.760 But the disease had already spread wide before, broadly, before 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.040 we had this lockdown in place. And this doctor who 0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.560 is he's dealing with COVID patients all day long, trying 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:01.400 to save lives, trying to protect people, and he's saying 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:05.000 that to most of the population, the risk is very 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:10.840 low and the economic and health impacts health impacts of 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:16.160 the lockdown are disastrous, and with each day get worse 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:20.600 and worse and worse. There is no antibody to a 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:24.639 bad economy. There is no okay We're just going to 0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:29.600 wait this out for a bad economy, right, That's not possible. 0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:32.840 So that's where you start to have these doctors who 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:34.720 are coming out, and they're very brave because they're really 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:38.520 speaking against a medical community consensus. Look, I'm just gonna 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:44.240 say it. Most doctors in certain fields are they tend 0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:48.080 to be Democrats. Surgeons tend to lean Republican, which I 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:50.800 think is very interesting. There are some fields where you 0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:53.880 have a higher percentage surgeons, heart surgeons, brain surgeons tend 0:22:53.880 --> 0:23:00.240 to be Republican. Psychiatrists mostly Libs, huge majority of psychiaterest 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:04.960 or liberals. But there is a hashtag science consensus that 0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:07.040 it's settled in. Now. When I say it's a consensus, 0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:08.840
