WEBVTT - Shout Let’s Go Brandon from the Rooftops 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.600 Team. Welcome to the Freedom Hunt in November first Monday 0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:06.720 edition of the show. Great to have you with me. 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:08.840 Just want to start off at saying happy birthday to 0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:12.239 my mom, Missus Sexton, Jane Sexton, the greatest bomb in 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:14.920 the world. Got a lot of news today, got to 0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:17.759 get right to it. We have, oh my, the Young 0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:22.840 King election in Virginia down to the wire against Terry mccauliffe. 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:26.639 We'll see how that's shaking out. The NYPD deadline is today. 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:31.960 Thousands and thousands of NYPD officers, firefighters in New York 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:37.000 and first responders who have not gotten the shot, face suspension, 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:42.040 possible termination. We'll see what ends up happening there. We've 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:46.720 got people finally realizing that masking off ramps are necessary, 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.320 and we're gonna have to create some sanity when it 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:54.160 comes to mask wearing policies, even in liberal area. It's 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.800 gonna have to happen. You got twenty six New York 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.440 firehouses that have been forced to close because fire fighters 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.160 are refusing to comply with the mandate. I'm meant to 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:06.600 tell you that you've also got American Airlines canceling a 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.720 quarter of its entire Sunday schedule. Six hundred and thirty 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:16.520 four flights and said it's because of strong wind. Suspicious 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:21.080 if you ask me, And a pilot said, allegedly on 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.840 a Southwest flight, let's go Brandon, and the Libs freaked 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:26.560 out because that is what they do. So I mean, 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:32.520 we've got we've got COVID stuff, election stuff, vaccine mandates. Oh, immigration, 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.759 turns out it's really expensive to start putting kids illegal 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.880 immigrants all over the country in the school system New York. 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.399 We have got some numbers for you on that, So 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:42.760 we'll get into all of it in the moment. But 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.760 in the meantime, the Tunnels of Towers Foundation sets their 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.400 mind to helping families of nine to eleven first responders 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.480 and our soldiers fighting the war on terrorism, and they're committed. 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.080 This year alone, they're helping two hundred families move into 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.800 mortgage free homes with the help of your donations. That's 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.000 a remarkable effort on its own, But that's not all. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.000 The Tunnels of Tower Foundation has also dedicated the summer 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.400 months of August and September to honor those first responders 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.200 of nine to eleven with a tribute that allows for 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:12.080 us to never forget their bravery and sacrifice. Talented Towers 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.320 continues to honor and remember with a tribute set for 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.800 Veterans Day next month. On a day to day basis, 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.520 Talta Towers Foundation dedicates themselves so looking after our first 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.160 responders and soldiers. What other organization do you know that's 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.040 really keeping this pledge of these days? You might not 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.839 know the names of the firefighters, police officers, EMT crew 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.840 members and others who answer the call on nine to eleven, 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.080 but the team that Talented Towers Foundation does. There are 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.880 men and women, often with families. Support those families today, 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.520 donate eleven dollars a month to talleted Towers at t 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:48.079 twot dot org. That's t the number two t dot org. Oh, 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.520 there is so much here. Let's start with the Because 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.920 tomorrow is gonna be election day Virginia, We're gonna dive 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.720 really deep into that. But let's start, if we can, 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.959 with the situation here in New York City. We have 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.760 I think over twenty thousand is the last number that 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:06.239 I saw firefighters, police, first responders, the mt people who 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.280 work for the City of New York in total, who 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.200 have not gotten the shot, don't want to get the shot. 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:16.040 May not get the shot, and we're looking at the 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.760 first time that I think you've had a major city 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:23.240 that could be suffering really dire consequences as a result 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.440 of the vaccine mandate. Now, keep in mind, we just 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.840 had Jensaki, the White House Press Secretary. She has COVID 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:36.360 fully vaccinated. Of course, I forget another well known name 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.720 over the weekend came down with COVID. I mean, and 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.040 they didn't even talk about it. Oh, person's fully vaccinated. 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.240 This is happening all over the place, breakthrough infections. So 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:48.480 let's just understand that the impetus for the mandates should 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.920 be even less because the upside of the mandate, so 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.880 to speak, which is supposed to be preventing infection of 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.240 others because you won't that's actually not as real as 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.119 we were told. Now what they're going to say is, oh, 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.720 but it's still less likely, therefore it's still worth it. Yeah, 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.400 but other vaccine policies we have, you get how many 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.160 people do you know have gotten you know, breakthrough cases 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:14.360 of measles? Ah. Well, this also goes to stable viruses 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:18.480 versus rapidly mutating viruses, and why it's completely unrealistic to 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.640 think that we're going to do to covid what we 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.760 did to measles Mom's rubella. No, it's going to be 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.520 just like the flu. I just spoke to a friend 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.720 of mine today who's an infectious disease expert here in 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:33.120 New York City, who raised in his mind the prospect 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.520 that we're going to have, because there's going to be 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:38.640 greater travel and connectivity this winter time, we may actually 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.800 have a He thinks medium bad covid season, not as 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:44.599 bad as last year would have been high medium bad 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.839 covid season, but a really nasty flu season. It's just 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.159 a theory. I mean, this is a prediction. But I 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.360 think also our natural immunity to flu as a population 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.560 is going to be particularly low. Remember there was almost 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.640 no flu they told us last year, which seems very 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.520 very strange. There's going to be flu this year. That's 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.840 somebody who just got is just getting over a stomach bug. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.000 People refer to a stomach flu. It's actually not a flu, 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.520 but who cares. Well, that's a conversation for another time. 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.840 Let me tell you the flu sucks too. You don't 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.120 want to get the flu, you don't want to get covid. 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.320 The flu can also kill the elderly and those with 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.560 pre existing conditions, so or that's not the right comorbidities. 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.000 Pre eisting condition sounds like. I'm working for the healthcare companies, 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.640 so those are all major considerations. But I've gotten off 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.320 the first responder issue, and I want to get back 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.320 to that, because look at what is actually going on here. 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.440 Look at how this is playing out now across the 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.479 country in places like New York City where they have 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.640 these very strict, very stringent mandates. What happens when you 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.080 have thousands and thousands of police who are not showing 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.560 up and firefighters who are not showing up. What does 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.760 that do to a city that's already feeling like it's 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.520 going through an unprecedented rise in crime? What does it? 0:05:58.520 --> 0:05:59.880 What does it feel like when you're in a city that, 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.400 all of a sudden is much more dysfunctional and perhaps 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:07.120 even dirty. I gotta see what the sanitation department numbers are. 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:13.560 But my friends, here we go. Twenty six firehouses closed, 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.960 two thousand firefighters called out sick to cling onto their pay. 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.320 It says here in the Daily Mail NYPD Union Warren 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:25.320 City is totally unprepared for shortage of ten thousand cops, EMTs, 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:29.120 and street cleaners who refuse to get the shot. So 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.120 it is it's street cleaners, all city employees, thousands and 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.840 thousands and thousands of them. What happens, You got to 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.080 fire them all. See now they've actually come up, you know, 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.640 the unstoppable force of the mandate has come up against 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:47.240 the immovable object of essential personnel working for the City 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.080 of New York who don't want to get the shot. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.760 What are you gonna do? I'm gonna try to make 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.440 up for the short fall people are gonna suffer over 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.359 this one, and think about what they're really suffering for. 0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:01.480 There's no natural immunity provision, so this is not rooted 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.680 in science. Start with that. There's no willingness to look 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.360 at what the actual risk parameters are here for people 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.840 involved in this. No, it's just get the shot or else. 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.240 That's they're out to get the shot or else. And 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.320 remember it's going to get the shot or else and 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.480 get it again in six months, and get it again 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.720 in six months after that. If that's not the case, 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.640 I'd like one person to explain how how that will 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.760 not be the case. COVID is now endemic in the 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.240 United States. It's going to continue to spread and spread. 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:33.840 It exists all throughout the world too. COVID eradication in 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:37.760 the near term is a fantasy. It is not happening. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.120 And because COVID mutates rapidly, how many variants have you 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.280 already heard of, we're going to have to deal with 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.520 repeated calls for shots and shots and shots and more shots. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.280 This is effectively like the libs freaked out about a 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.760 really bad flu season, and now we're going to be 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.920 dealing with dealing with this with masks and shots every 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:01.560 for the rest of our lives, except it's COVID and 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.840 not the flu. We no longer have the risk tolerance 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.679 as a society for there are respiratory viruses that spread. 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.480 They're going to kill some people. Life is fragile and imperfect. 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.240 There's only so much we can do. If you're six, 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.040 stay away from people. Other than that, you've got to 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:19.640 live life. That was society's approach to this stuff. Then 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.560 they say, oh, no, COVID's so different. So well, it 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.800 was a little different in the early stages, but the 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:25.600 more we've seen the more we realize, no, it's actually 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.120 not that different. More dangerous to the elderly and those 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:33.040 with comorbidities. That's actually what we found out spreads in 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.200 a very similar way, a lot of very similar symptoms 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.680 to the flu. And when you look at the blot 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:39.960 of the body count in the United States for the 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:41.559 last fifty years of flu, I mean, it's it is 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:45.000 hundreds of thousands of people perhaps even getting you know, 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.040 in the low millions over the last fifty years. Right, 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:49.439 So we've lost a lot of people to that. We've 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:50.800 lost people to a lot of diseases. Look at how 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.600 many people die every day from cancer and heart disease 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.319 in this country. Now, I know we can't stop those things. 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.040 We don't have a shot against those things. But the 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.160 point is life goes on. Right we can all sit 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.520 around and say, oh my gosh, we have to have 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.440 a moratorium on saturated fat and make everybody walk an 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.480 hour a day. By the way, a national mandate to 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:11.439 make everybody walk an hour a day would be more effective, 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.640 more useful than the mask mandate, no question, no question, 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:17.960 it would mean more, It would do much more for 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.480 public health. By the way, I wish I was managed 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:21.880 to walk an hour a day. I just feel like 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:23.440 I don't have the time an hour a day go 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.640 for a walk outside. Be an amazing thing for your health. 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.120 Great thing too. I was just talking to my family 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.120 members about the server of the weekend. The more the 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.680 older I get, and I'm gonna be forty soon, folks. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.520 That's right, producer Mike. I'm gonna be forty. Which is 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.760 you know, you're you're a full grown adult. At forty, 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.360 you can rent a car, you can vote, you can 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.959 do all these things, and you're expected to when you're 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.360 twenty five. Well, actually you can't really rent a car 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.840 at the same insurance rate until you're twenty seven. But 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.560 you know, when you're thirty you can do everything, but 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.720 you're still kind of like, I'm figuring it out. When 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.600 you're forty, you're supposed to have it figured out. But anyway, 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.160 one one bit of life advice that I throw in 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.120 the mix here for everybody is or just something that 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.000 I've observed, and so you can take it or leave it. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.360 Find activities where you're actually spending time with the people 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.080 you're spending time with and not spending time. Just focus 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.600 on that activity. You know this, This is what I 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.080 mean by you know, meal time as a family every 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.360 night together if you can, or as often as you can. 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:22.920 I know it can't be every night. People have jobs 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.120 and they move around and stuff. But as often as 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:26.719 you can eat, eat as a family, because you talk 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.680 to each other, you're actually with each other. You're present. 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.640 Find things where you're present together. Playing tennis against each other, 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.840 you're you're pretty present because you actually going to talk 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.560 to each other and you cross the net, you're facing 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.720 each other, you're hitting the ball. You can talk. Depends 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.880 on how competitive you are about it. But you know, 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:46.559 things like going to a movie together, yeah, can be 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.319 depends going to see a Broadway show, you're kind of 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.400 just watching the thing. I don't know. This is just 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.480 my opinion, but I think that walking together, what I'm 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.960 trying to say, is a great way meals together. Walking together, 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:01.080 you're actually spending time with people you know, as there 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:02.760 are other things where I feel like if you're supposed 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.640 to be there in silence, in the dark and not 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.520 which is what you're supposed to do, movies and theater 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.720 and stuff. I'm just gonna say it. Some people, I'm 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.199 fighting a one man crusade, producer Mike against people who 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:17.160 think that their phones are now their personal DJ systems 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.400 when they're in public, like they're gonna they're just gonna 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.560 play there. They're gonna sit down at a restaurant, you know, 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:23.760 by themselves, at the at the counter, at the like 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.880 takeout counter, and just start playing whatever tunes they like. 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.120 That this is horrifying. We're not barbarians. I don't want 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.719 to hear your music. Or they sit there with their 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.040 volume all the way up on TikTok. Anyway, go for 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.680 long walk, good for your health. Back to and you 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.240 can talk to family, and I think it's very therapeutic. 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.920 Back to what's going on here with the mandate in 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:48.839 New York City? What are they gonna do? Are you 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.480 gonna fire everybody? Think of what kind of chaos that's 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:52.840 going to create in the city. Think of what that 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.520 is going to do if they go forward with it. 0:11:55.600 --> 0:12:00.360 Here is the president of the Uniform Firefighters Association, Andrew or. 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.079 I'm sounding along that my members are not the kind 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.320 of people that bends. You don't want New York City 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.720 firefighters to be the kind of people that go against 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.120 their word and they'll stick to their guns. What do 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.160 you think call us is New York City firefighters to 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.880 crawl down that hallway through that fire to get to 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.240 your family and you. It's that resolve that we have 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.040 and everyone's been ignoring the fact that the reason why 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:22.680 people love us is that we put our lives on 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.040 the line every day for you. And when we tell 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:26.600 you we're not going to bend and we're not going 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.719 to break, you have to take you seriously. And now 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:32.240 we have seventeen hundred firefighters that are basically saying, I 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.400 can't bend. I'm not going to do it. We need 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.360 more time. We have lawsuits that are pending that because 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.839 of this nine day mandate, they're not giving us enough 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.880 time for a day to be held in court. You know, 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:43.920 we've been pushing the wall, and they're pushing around the 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.240 wrong people. I mean, we're not the kind of people 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.840 that break. You don't want firefighters that break. And right 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.040 now the Mayor of New York and the Department is 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.360 understanding this is what happens when you try to push 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.480 the wrong people around. The firefighters aren't going to break, folks. 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.680 F Dmy, I know some of these guys. I know 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:03.480 how they are not going to do it. So he 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.199 makes also a pointier about the courts. I mean, they're 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.640 not even allowing this process to play out. They want 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.040 to get it done, because then it is as the 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:15.720 French saya fetal kompli, it's all finished, right, get the shot, 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:17.800 and then who cares what the court says. You've already 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.720 gotten the shot. That's the attitude. And this is why 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:22.400 I've been trying to say, you've got to get ahead 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.360 of this. This is why when I called in August 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.800 for governors to take action against mandates, including private sector 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.720 corporate mandates in their states, it was so important then. 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:39.360 And Texas and Florida have gone that route. They're doing it. 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.960 South Dakota hasn't. Gee it's so weird, almost like the 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.840 corporations actually called the shots in that state. So here 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:51.000 we have the president of the Uniform Firefighter Association, Andrew Ansborough, 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.520 making his statement about the firefighters. You look at the 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:59.640 police situation too, and that's going to get really bad. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.760 But there are still some smug libs out there who 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.080 are like, too bad, get fired, we don't care. Here's 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:10.360 another one from the New York Times, David Leonhardt. When 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.120 people quit or get fired because they won't take the vaccine, 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.640 I would think of that. There is some real good 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.080 news there. I mean, it is your legal right to 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.000 not take the vaccine. We live in a country that 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:24.640 prioritizes individual freedom. But if you refuse to take the vaccine, 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:29.320 you're putting a lot of people's parents and grandparents, including 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.760 some who are vaccinated, people who are immunocompromised. You are 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.840 putting those people at risk of serious illness or even death. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.760 And so if the punishment that you need to take 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:44.240 for potentially harming others is you can't have the job 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.160 you have, I don't have a problem with that. You're 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.680 choosing to put others at risk, people who can't protect themselves, 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.720 and that means I don't have a lot of sympathy 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:55.640 for what you have to forfeit. That is the lib 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.000 mentality right there. You heard it from him, they can't 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:03.280 protect themselves? What the vaccine about? Then, your jerk explain 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.480 that they can't protect themselves? What do you mean? Everyone said, 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.720 plenty time to get the shot. You're beautiful, wonderful vaccine, 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.840 that's so effective. So why does everyone else have to 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:13.440 get the shot? If you oh, because we're going to 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:17.280 eradicate COVID, that's a fantasy. I've already explained this. There 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.480 is no eradicating COVID. Oh so then this just becomes 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.800 every little bit, every little bit, every little bit, anything 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:26.040 we can do. It's the same mentality with masks. They're 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.360 masking kids up eight hours a day. It's child abuse 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:34.440 in schools. Other countries aren't doing this. Every randomized controlled 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:38.320 study has shown either zero or next to zero benefit 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.280 of masks, every single one of them. But they still 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.720 abuse children with the mask mandates. Why because it's become 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:48.000 a cultural signifier to them. It's virtue signaling, but it's 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.000 also a cultural tribal affiliation. Oh look at me. I'm 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.080 one of the smart, good fauci loving people. I listen 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.800 to the science, I read the New York Times. I 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:01.560 put oat milk in my lattes, hauling. This is what 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:05.120 we're up against. Now, what he says doesn't make any 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.000 sense when you break it down, unless you're taking the 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:11.680 approach that any level of inconvenience is worth it if 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.280 it stops two percent of cases, one percent of cases. 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.600 Understand this. New York City did a big study of 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.760 restaurants when they reopened them. Do you know how much 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.040 COVID spread they thought was happening in restaurants? One percent? 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.520 Now I see that, and I say, oh, clearly, restaurants 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.920 shouldn't be shut down, right, We're gonna remember that's one 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:32.840 percent of case spread, not fatality cases. There cases everywhere. 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.520 They would see this though, See, they pick and choose. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.160 Why not, why not have restaurants shut down all because 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.320 fancy liberals like to go to fancy restaurants, of course, 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.800 so that doesn't get shut down. Was that really necessary? 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.000 You say, oh, well, necessary for the job the restaurant industry. Mean, 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:51.560 by the way, I think it is necessary. But the 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:53.600 point I'm trying to make is, notice how they pick 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:57.400 and choose. Schools had to be shut down for how long? 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.240 How much spread was there in schools? Very very little? 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.400 And they still mask up children. They don't care what 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:05.879 the data shows. These people are suffering from a mass 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.800 mental illness. They are appalling. They are cowards. There are 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.080 so many cowards in the era of COVID. They know 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:15.879 that they are lying to people, They know what they 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:20.080 are saying is untrue, doesn't matter because they want to 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.200 be part of the team, so to speak. Here here's 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:26.040 even one guy, he some you know, he's a liberal 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.200 and he's wrong, and you know he's crazy about climate change. 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.200 But on some stuff. He's really good, you know, because 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.000 he does have enough credibility with the Libs that he 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:35.560 can say things something they really don't want to hear. 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:40.439 Here's Bill Maher on people alone outside wearing masks and 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.160 just a little messaging. I mean, I see it all 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:47.240 the time. I saw driving in today, people outside alone 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:52.960 walking with a mask. It's so stupid. It's it's it's 0:17:53.000 --> 0:18:00.560 an amulet. Yes, you know, around away evil spirit. It 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.879 means nothing. I mean, can't we get people to understand 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:07.840 the facts more? I mean, listen to this. For unvaccinated 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:14.040 hospitalization risk unvaccinated, forty one percent of Democrats thought it 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:18.560 was over fifty percent. Hospitalization rate for the vaccinated is 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.600 actually point o one percent and the rate for the 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.120 unvaccinated is point eight nine percent. So in both cases 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.680 the correct answer is less than one percent. They thought 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:32.679 it was over fifty How do people, especially of one party, 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.800 get such a bad idea? Where did that come from? 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:41.480 The Libs have lied to us and each other, the 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:48.480 Libalids and fauci. They've exaggerated, they've misdirected, they've suppressed. That 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:53.640 is how you have such widespread insanity. Fifty percent risk 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.800 of hospitalization. Do you hear what he said? People think 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:57.639 if they get COVID fifty fifty chances to go into 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.800 the hospital. Let me tell you something, if our reality, 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:04.080 I'd be pretty freaked out too, right, hospitalized for all people? 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.439 That's really serious. Yeah, I'm not going to a hospital unless, 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.040 like I think, I'm not gonna make it unless I go. 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:14.040 I mean, I hate hospitals, like the worst place for 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.399 me next to a prison. I think a hospital is 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.880 a second least favorite place for me to be. How 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.280 did it get this crazy? He's just sighting data. He's 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.119 a lib, but he knows these people out of their minds. 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:26.640 Everybody in my building is wearing masks. Again, I don't 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.840 wear masks, and I'm just waiting for them to excuse me. 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:31.920 Resurre theer's or mass policy? Who actually, New York City 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.880 doesn't have a mass policy. My building as a mask policy. 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.440 The building also knows that I'm cool and I'm nice 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.119 to all the staff. So what do you think the 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.040 chances are they going to evict me because I'm not 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:45.200 wearing a mask? Good blanking luck? Speak about speaking about 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:49.480 libs who whine and cry? Oh, the Southwest Airlines pilot 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:50.800 I have to get to see this. One of these days, 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.040 I should be doing a two hour podcast. I've only 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:54.879 got you know, thirty minutes with you max one like 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:57.440 twenty five. I'll come back to in a second to 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.760 the south West Airlines pilot thing. Let's go, let's go, Brandon. 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.000 That's what you need to know about it. We'll come 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.439 back to it in a second. When running a business, 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.080 HR issues can kill you.
