<v Speaker 1>personally speak out on these sexual assault claims against him.

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 1>We've hit thirty million unemployment claims and should exercise outdoors

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:36.839

<v Speaker 1>You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show.

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Puma Cia analysts. I can speak to three hours without

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>a phone call. Try doing that sometime. No, this came

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>from us mind. We never know. We had the greatest

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>economy ever in the world and the history of the world.

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>We had the best economy. I say it openly. Nobody

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>even challenges it, and they would if they thought it

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>was wrong. We had the best economy ever and we're

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna have it again. Welcome to the Buck sex and show.

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Everybody there. You have the President talking about what was

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>and what he says will be again. We will get

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.959
<v Speaker 1>to that place where we have a rock and economy.

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Things going very well for business, for individuals. Some optimism,

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>we need optimism. These days. It's grinding us down, isn't it.

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>It's getting a little tough out there on these lockdowns.

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a question that we're going to keep revisiting. When

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 1>are we going to reopen? How fast can we reopen?

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>And was all of this really worth? It? Was all

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>of this something that we should have put ourselves through,

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>And if so, I want to see the data, because

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>so far over the data that I'm seeing suggest that

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>it was not. Now, look, there's some tough new information.

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>There's some tough new data, specifically about jobs. You've got

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:12.640
<v Speaker 1>an additional three point eight million more people sought jobless benefits,

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.079
<v Speaker 1>and I'll talk to you a bit about that. We've

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>also got some bombshell stuff last night that I wanted

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>to begin with today, where General Flynn, I mean, the

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:29.959
<v Speaker 1>move against General Flynn is beyond any reasonable doubt, something

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>that you could refer to now as a deep state

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>ambush of the Trump administration National Security advisor that used

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>the worst kinds of behind the scenes FBI abuse of

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the system of their discretion, that relied on dishonorable, disreputable

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>tactics from people that are partisans. And now this new

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>information is just confirming what many of us have thought

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 1>all along, and I think that's really important for us here.

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I think we need to take stock on this issue

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>of General Flynn of who was right, who was wrong,

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and why did they get it so wrong. Those who

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>have been skeptical of the case against General Flynn from

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>day one and been calling it an evil politically motivated

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>injustice were right. Meanwhile, the multi billion dollar media apparatus

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>that defamed and tried to ruin Flynn out of partisan spite,

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>we're wrong. Never forget that, Never forget that. Those of

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>you who have been listening to me talk about General

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Flynn for the last three years, about his case, about

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>what was done to him, I've been right at every stage. CNN,

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 1>The New York Times, MSNBC, the New York Post, and

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 1>all the assorted liberal outlets out there. They were wrong.

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>They've been lying to their audiences, They've been misrepresenting what happened.

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>They've been putting stupid analysts on TV and running their columns,

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>running their analysis in various platforms. That now is just

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>completely indefensible. I mean, it was always wrong, but at

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>this point they should be offering up apologies and that

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>will not that will not happen. The unbelievable corruption and

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 1>underhanded partisan tactics that the FBI and DJ engaged in

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>against Flynn and Trump's campaign, it should be noted happened

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>on Obama's watch and our ultimately Obama's responsibility. Libs can

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>try to obfuscate this all day, but it's a fact

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>it was Obama's team on his watch taking this action

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>against the presidential transition. What a bunch of petty, spiteful,

0:04:54.279 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>insidious garbage. This was your team loses, and so you

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>make sure that the team that gets to take the

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 1>field is not able to have the full benefit of

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>their victory. You do this on the way out the door. Disgusting,

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely disgusting, And there's no way at this point, there's

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>no way for anyone to explain this as an act

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>of a mistake or as as good faith gone awry. No,

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 1>we see, and I will, I will take you through

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 1>the latest information here on this. We see what really happened.

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.480
<v Speaker 1>The Justice Department has had to turn over documents. And

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>this is all because Sidney Powell, this this lawyer who

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.040
<v Speaker 1>has taken up General Flynn's cause. She saw what she

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>saw what happened here, and She's like, I'm not allowing this,

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>you know. Flynn and originally went to Covington and Burling.

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>That was the firm that he went to represent him.

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>And it's funny, actually used to live like across the

0:05:55.000 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 1>street from their office, and he did this thinking that

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 1>they were going to represent his best interest. Now it

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.799
<v Speaker 1>looks like they had a massive conflict of interest and

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>they were not acting on his behalf in ways that

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 1>they should have. Here's the quick review of what happened here.

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 1>General Flynn, the National Security Advisor, former DA director, and

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:25.039
<v Speaker 1>thirty plus year military veteran. He had a couple of

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 1>FBI guys sent to talk to him after there was

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.919
<v Speaker 1>a news story about a conversation that he had. Someone

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>leaked a conversation that he had with the ambassador. The

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>criminal league by the way, and this person whoever league,

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>they should go to prison. They should sit in a cell.

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.039
<v Speaker 1>They should go to prison for this. You're not allowed

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>to do this, not going to play games with secret

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>information in this way, someone in the government betrayed their

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>oath and broke the law. They should go to prison.

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not General Flynn. So this league happened to ignacious

0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 1>The Washington post, and then the FBI guys decided that

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 1>they were because you know, initially Flynn was denying, and look,

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 1>maybe Flynn kind of forgot what he said to the

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, he didn't have the transcript of the conversation,

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>but he said no, you know, he denied it. And

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.679
<v Speaker 1>then they figured that they were going to go and

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>get him. That was some of you will recall from

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>from Ghostbusters when they see the first ghost in the

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>New York Public Library, and you know, they go, stay close,

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>stay close, get her, and that's their whole plan, you know,

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>And afterwards Bill Murray's kind of laughing, that was your

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>whole plan, get her, get Flynn was the plan. That

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>was all this was. There was no reason, there was

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:39.239
<v Speaker 1>no real crime, there was no investigation. And we remember

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>from James Coomey that they were taking advantage of an

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>administration in change in flux. You know, the transition is underway,

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>and they were taking advantage of that for partisan purposes.

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.560
<v Speaker 1>So you have a new presidential team coming in with

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>obviously tremendous responsibility, a lot of authority, a lot of power,

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>representing the interest of the American people. Duly elected in

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen, despite all the whining and crying from Libs.

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Who should cry more? Cry more, Libs? Please? You know

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be Oh, man, I certainly the party that

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna throw. I don't care if it's a party

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 1>for one, but the party that I'm going to have

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>if Trump wins reelection this fall, Man, we are going

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>to go. We are going to go jet skiing in

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 1>a lake of liberal tiers if Trump wins, and I

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 1>still think there's a very good chance he will. But anyway,

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to get ahead of myself. So they

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>send in, They send in these two FBI agents, and

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:42.319
<v Speaker 1>now we have notes about the thought processes, thought processes

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>around this. Here's what Fox News breaks it down. Handwritten

0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 1>notes by the FBI's former head of counterintelligence, Bill Prestapp

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 1>after a meeting with then FBI Director James Comey and

0:08:55.080 --> 0:09:00.040
<v Speaker 1>then FBI Director Andrew McCabe, suggested the agents planned to

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>get Flynn to admit to breaking the Logan Act in

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the alternative when he spoke to then Russian Ambassador Sergei

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Kiseljak during the presidential transition period. What is our goal,

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>one of the notes read truth admission or get him

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>to lie so we can prosecute him or get him

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 1>fired if we get him to admit to breaking the

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Logan Act. Give facts a DOJ and have them decide.

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Another note read Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley called the

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>documents implications chilling folks. This is exactly what I have

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>been telling you all along. They did here. They created

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:46.960
<v Speaker 1>a completely absurd pretext, an absurd pretext to bring a

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:52.680
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous charge or to create a ridiculous criminal predicate that

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 1>no one really thinks this is a crime. This is

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 1>kafka ask I mean, this is Soviet style abuse of

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 1>the law by pretending that there's nothing in the law

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>that has to make any sense whatsoever, by misinterpreting it

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and misapplying it for political purposes. This is a disgrace.

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>James Comey should be in prison. Andrew McCabe should be

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 1>in prison. McCabe should definitely be in prison for lying

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 1>under oath that they just gave him a pass on

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.599
<v Speaker 1>this because they didn't want to hurt morale inside these institutions.

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you something, the FBI is not gonna

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>be able to live this down for a long time.

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Anytime there's a political political edge to an investigation that's

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>going on with the DGEN the FBI. Now, people are

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 1>rightly going to ask a whole lot of questions. Is

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>this on the up and up? Is this a bunch

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 1>of deep state libs taking out their aggression on somebody

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 1>that they don't like politically. That's what Peter Struck did,

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 1>That's what Lisa Page did. And Comey and McCabe they

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 1>were every bit as bad as we said. They were

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.680
<v Speaker 1>every bit. And if you're wondering what was Comey's role

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>in the Comy thinks he's a hero for this. I

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.199
<v Speaker 1>mean he is truly a sociopath. I mean, Comy's got

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>real problems. This guy's a loon. He was the FBI director, folks.

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.960
<v Speaker 1>He was a US attorney sending people to prison for

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 1>a long time, making the determinations about who gets charged

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and who doesn't. This guy is a sanctimonious, self righteous loon.

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:24.559
<v Speaker 1>And he was at the very top of the United

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 1>States law enforcement apparatus after the Attorney General, arguably the

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 1>most powerful law enforcement figure in the country. And we

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>think this is okay, of course not. But he's gonna

0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.559
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna skate. He's got a seven figure book deal

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.720
<v Speaker 1>and he's gone around giving speeches and here's what he

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.319
<v Speaker 1>said about his role in all of this play seventeen.

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:55.439
<v Speaker 1>I sent them something we I probably wouldn't have done

0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 1>or maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 1>and more organized administration in the George W. Bush administration,

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>for example, or the Obama administration. The protocol two men

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:10.880
<v Speaker 1>that all of us have perhaps increased appreciation for over

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>the last two years. And in both of those administrations,

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 1>there was process. And so if the FBI wanted to

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.959
<v Speaker 1>send agents into the White House itself to interview a

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>senior official, you would work through the White House Council

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and they be discussions and approvals and who would be there.

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>And I thought it's early enough, let's just send a

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:41.079
<v Speaker 1>couple of guys over. And so we placed a call

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>to Flynn, said, Hey, we're sending a couple of guys over.

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I hope you'll talk to them. He said, sure. Nobody

0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>else was there. They interviewed him in a conference room

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>at the White House Situation Room, and he lied to them.

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>And that's what he's now played guilty too. It's pleaded guilty,

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.040
<v Speaker 1>which you would think the FBI director would know the

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 1>proper terminology and beyond that, he used, he exploited the

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>disarray and the frenzied nature of a presidential transition for

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 1>a political hit. That's what this was. It was a

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 1>political hit. And notice you look, Look, the FBI has

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>got big problems here, folks. This is not going to

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 1>just go away. Current FBI Director Chris Ray doesn't look

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 1>like he is willing to wash the dirty laundry properly

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 1>within his own institution. You know, the CIA rightfully got

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 1>pounded pounded in the public's eye for nine to eleven

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:43.320
<v Speaker 1>and then for the Iraq WMD debacle. Okay, my old

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.680
<v Speaker 1>agency got absolutely crushed in the in the public's mind

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.199
<v Speaker 1>for those two. Now, the CIA, I mean the nine

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 1>to eleventh thing was intelligence community wide, so that was

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.800
<v Speaker 1>more diffuse anger, but it was certainly a failure at

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the CIA was actually really in a lot of ways

0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:00.880
<v Speaker 1>a bigger failure at the FBI. But conversation for another time.

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 1>And then the Iroq WMD thing, which really was blamed

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 1>on Bush. But the CIA should have done better, that's

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 1>just the truth. Now we have the FBI, which is

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 1>much more concerning to us than the CIA, because CI

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.839
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have law enforcement powers here. CIA can't show up,

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 1>take you out of the shower in front of your

0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>family at gunpoint and lock you in a cell. CI

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.080
<v Speaker 1>actually can't do that in this country. They won't do

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:28.480
<v Speaker 1>that in this country. FBI can just ask Roger Stone.

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>They'll send thirty guys with long guns and tack gear

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>on while you're having tea with your wife and your

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>silk pajamas watching reruns of The Price Is Right, and

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 1>they'll make sure that they come at five o'clock in

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the morning and that CNN is there. Oh yeah, because

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>they got lucky. Remember that whole thing. CNN is a

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>bunch of liars. These people have lost it, my friends.

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 1>They can't go back and reclaim their honor because they

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.120
<v Speaker 1>don't have any and they don't care. We'll get into

0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>the media angle of this in a second. But this

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 1>is the deep state. This is real. We have proof,

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 1>We've had a proof for a long time. But this

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.880
<v Speaker 1>is even more. This is smoking gun the Logan Act.

0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 1>You're going to have a conversation with the incoming National

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Security Advisor about the Logan Act. The guys allowed to

0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 1>talk to people. First of all, the Logan Act is unconstitutional.

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Start with that. How could you even apply this. It's

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>unconstitutionally vague and unconstitutionally broad, and no one ever charges it.

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.360
<v Speaker 1>So that's why it hasn't gotten overturned. But they decided

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>they were going to just try to dust this one off.

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 1>You show me the man, I'll show you the crime.

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 1>That was Laventi barrier of the Soviet secret police. That's

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing here. That's the approach. And now there's

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:45.000
<v Speaker 1>no question about it. Flynn should not only be pardoned.

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 1>People that were a part of this should be run

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>out of the public square and should serve prison time.

0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 1>And you don't hear me, So I'm not somebody says, oh,

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 1>people should go to jail for this or that, you know,

0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 1>some of the Benghazi stuff, for example, from the Obama administration,

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that was in competence. It was indifference, it was stupidity.

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:04.600
<v Speaker 1>But you're not. You can't send people to jail for

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 1>being morons. There are else a lot more politicians would

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 1>be in jail this though. This is malice, this is

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 1>abuse of power, This is ruining lives. There needs to

0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.400
<v Speaker 1>be justice for this. We cannot allow this to stand.

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 1>They went after one of the top White House officials

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 1>of an incoming administration to settle a pro Hillary vendetta.

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 1>That's what this was. And also because all these people

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 1>in DC that have been working there for decades and

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>have reached the highest levels of the bureaucracy, they think

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:36.400
<v Speaker 1>they're so much more clever and important than they are.

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 1>And let me tell you, they're overwhelmingly, deeply unimpressive. The

0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 1>people who work there to day in these places, some

0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 1>of them are fantastic. Some of them are bumps on

0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 1>a log, they're workless, but some of them are fantastic.

0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I've known both the people that rise to the top, though,

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:56.080
<v Speaker 1>especially in a Democrat administration. Remember Obama pointed Toomey, the

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 1>people that rise to the top bureaucracy is like this

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:07.920
<v Speaker 1>in Komi McCabe. They're just all pretending and they hope

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>that people don't find out that they're really just frauds.

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.840
<v Speaker 1>You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:23.359
<v Speaker 1>and Show podcast. I mentioned before. The media's role in

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 1>all this, as they were celebrating the destruction of General Flynn,

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:29.439
<v Speaker 1>after all the time that he had served his country,

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.320
<v Speaker 1>after all the good that he had done for this nation.

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.679
<v Speaker 1>I just want to remind everyone that whether it's General Flynn,

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Justice Kavanaugh. Nicholas Sandman of the Commington High School. Liberal

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 1>journals are willing to set these people up with lies

0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and then pounce on them like hyenas, with no regard

0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.879
<v Speaker 1>for the lives and families that they ruin. And do

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>you ever see the journals apologize? Do you ever see

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.400
<v Speaker 1>these journalists who run with these stories and then put

0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.480
<v Speaker 1>analysts on to amplify the stories by felling in what

0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 1>they don't have facts on so far, even if the

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.879
<v Speaker 1>facts are initially wrong with their own supposition. Do you

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 1>ever see the journals go on TV and say we

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.199
<v Speaker 1>were wrong about this one. General Flynn was set up.

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, America. Do you ever see that? No, you don't.

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.439
<v Speaker 1>And yet do you ever see on the other side

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:25.040
<v Speaker 1>people that are destroyed by conservatives and then it turns

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 1>out they were entirely innocent. No, what names come to mind?

0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Jesse's small att Oh, that's right, he wasn't innocent at all.

0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 1>He's a total fraud. Journalists in America overwhelmingly have neither

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:41.240
<v Speaker 1>introspection nor honor. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson

0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 1>app or wherever you get your podcasts team. You know

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:54.440
<v Speaker 1>that I've been warning about the overreach that is inevitable here,

0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 1>that we would go from a period of a perceived consensus.

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Now that's not the same thing is a real consensus,

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.840
<v Speaker 1>but people use the term so that they'll say, everyone

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.480
<v Speaker 1>agrees that we should do this thing that I want

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.440
<v Speaker 1>to do. There's a consensus, right, They pretend, for example,

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that they have one on climate change and how we

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 1>have to tackle the problem of climate change. But there

0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:18.960
<v Speaker 1>are these there are these these signposts that you can

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 1>look for, these transition points that will always happen where

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.840
<v Speaker 1>at first it's there's consensus that the government has to

0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 1>take a certain action, and then it's when the government

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.919
<v Speaker 1>begins to fail, we're told, well, we had no choice

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.680
<v Speaker 1>because everyone agreed that we had to do this. And

0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 1>then when you realize, wait, but we did have a choice,

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 1>they say, shut up, peasant, stay indoors. We have power.

0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Now this is the way it's going to be. That's

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the natural progression when you're dealing with the state, and

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 1>when you're dealing with the trajectory of unchecked government power,

0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.120
<v Speaker 1>which is what we've been seeing in this country, when

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the government can show up and tell you your business

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 1>shut down no reason other than we say so. Yeah,

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:01.879
<v Speaker 1>they can claim that it's for a virus and all

0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 1>this other stuff. Fine, But there are states where there

0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.040
<v Speaker 1>are a few hundred people who died from this, which

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.359
<v Speaker 1>means there are far more people over the same period

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 1>of time who have been dying from a whole bunch

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.680
<v Speaker 1>of ailments and sicknesses out there. We're not shutting down

0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 1>for those. Now. New York is different. I understand the

0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:23.440
<v Speaker 1>same way that if Louisiana is hit by a hurricane,

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 1>God forbid, but that's happened the past. Louisiana is a disaster.

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.080
<v Speaker 1>You've got to do a lot of stuff for Louisiana.

0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.840
<v Speaker 1>You don't do that for Michigan, though, you don't do

0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>that for Montana, right, I mean, so, we took this

0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:40.200
<v Speaker 1>approach of a nationwide lockdown without really thinking this through.

0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:46.120
<v Speaker 1>And we also recognize that giving once the national consensus

0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 1>again there's that word it creeps in. You started using it.

0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:52.199
<v Speaker 1>Once the national perception was that we all had to

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:56.000
<v Speaker 1>do this, then state governors and law enforcement that respond

0:20:56.040 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to state governors, they will do whatever they can to

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 1>increase their authority in their power, because they at first

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 1>think that they've got a responsibility, and then the frustration

0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:09.679
<v Speaker 1>sets in that they're not they're not changing things the

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 1>way that they might have thought, and so they want

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:15.239
<v Speaker 1>more power, they want more responsibility. I gotta tell you

0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:17.760
<v Speaker 1>this is just a side note, but I I was

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:22.359
<v Speaker 1>walking a little Telou the frenchie, who is quite adorable,

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and I liked we like to wrap her up. I

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:27.880
<v Speaker 1>like to wrap her up these days like a little burrito,

0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 1>and I call it a Toledo because she's like a

0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:35.159
<v Speaker 1>Tolou burrito. I know this is what happens when you

0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.240
<v Speaker 1>spend like twenty four hours a day with a dog

0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:42.679
<v Speaker 1>and it's really your only companion. So anyway, but I

0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:44.800
<v Speaker 1>was walking her outside your face mask on, of course,

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:46.240
<v Speaker 1>just kidding. I don't wear a face mask when I

0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:50.439
<v Speaker 1>walk the dog. That's stupid. But as someone came, I

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:54.199
<v Speaker 1>saw someone was double parked and they had their hazards on.

0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:57.359
<v Speaker 1>And keep in mind, there's very few cars on the street,

0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and there's no traffic to speak of. There's very few

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.639
<v Speaker 1>people on the street. Producer Mark, how long do you

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:07.600
<v Speaker 1>think it took the NYPD tow truck to throw that

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:10.080
<v Speaker 1>BMW on the back and take it off to the

0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:16.800
<v Speaker 1>to the the impound half hour, Oh, my friend, three minutes,

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:21.400
<v Speaker 1>three minutes the guy, the guy leaves double Park. He's

0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:23.920
<v Speaker 1>got he's got his hazards on. There's no cars, there's nothing,

0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and roof right, you know, he goes off. I felt

0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:29.639
<v Speaker 1>so bad, as where is the guy? We gotta get him.

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:32.160
<v Speaker 1>We can't let him get his car, Toad. That's one thing.

0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:35.159
<v Speaker 1>I feel like everybody always has sympathy unless you're being

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:37.239
<v Speaker 1>a real jerk and blocking traffic or something. But if

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:40.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, when when you leave the car and the

0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:42.919
<v Speaker 1>fire lane or something and there's no fire and you

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:46.760
<v Speaker 1>get that, you get Toad. It was a nice car too.

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.959
<v Speaker 1>There's a there's a new Beamer. You know. Beamer drivers

0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 1>tend to think they can do whatever they want, so

0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't really feel bad for them. But this guy.

0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:57.120
<v Speaker 1>It was just it was so interesting because, um, when

0:22:57.160 --> 0:22:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, when I used to work for the NYPD,

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:03.800
<v Speaker 1>there was a government. The the the example of government

0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:07.439
<v Speaker 1>efficiency that even the cops and point two is ticket

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:11.400
<v Speaker 1>writing in tow trucks. And it's very obvious why that is, right, Well,

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 1>why is the city so good at writing tickets for

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:17.240
<v Speaker 1>traffic violations and you know, for for parking, and why

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 1>are they so good at at deploying toe trucks. It's

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:23.119
<v Speaker 1>just money in the bank. It's just revenue. But you know,

0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:25.399
<v Speaker 1>even even now when you would think that, you know,

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe if somebody might get a little bit of a

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.679
<v Speaker 1>break or whatever. Man it was this guy was like

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 1>a toe truck ninja. I mean, it was just boop

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:34.280
<v Speaker 1>boop poop, car in the back and it was gone.

0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, rough, it's rough, but it's money.

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 1>They want money. I mean, the city is desperate for

0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:42.359
<v Speaker 1>cash right now. And that's going to be true of

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:44.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of cities in a lot of places. And

0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:47.840
<v Speaker 1>you're going to start to see, you know, people talking

0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:51.720
<v Speaker 1>about cutbacks and essential services. That puts additional pressure on

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:55.480
<v Speaker 1>cops in law enforcement across the board, and then they

0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:59.399
<v Speaker 1>feel additionally stressed because they're pulling longer shifts and ot

0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:01.119
<v Speaker 1>is cut bag. I mean just telling you, I know,

0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 1>this stuff all starts to spiral. It gets bad fast.

0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 1>So while I did have a moment of a moment

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 1>of just got a feel for the guy who's car,

0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:12.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, you got to spend like an hour at

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the impound. Now it's going to cost you about five

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:17.440
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks to get your car back. Oh man, it's rough.

0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:21.200
<v Speaker 1>It's rough. You also see what's going to happen in

0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:26.359
<v Speaker 1>these cities, and they're the bureaucracies. They're once their funding

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:31.040
<v Speaker 1>gets cut off, the bureaucracies getty pretty aggressive and they

0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 1>start taking going after the citizens with things like well

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and any way they can drive up Revene anyway. So

0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been warning you about how this is going to happen,

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:41.520
<v Speaker 1>and you know now that it is happening in different places.

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Parents are being arrested in playgrounds for taking their children

0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>out of open air. Who has the science on their side?

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:53.000
<v Speaker 1>The parent who with their kid member, The kids and

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the parents all live in the same home and they're

0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:58.440
<v Speaker 1>constantly interacting. So trying I mean social distancing, but among

0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>immediate family members is not something that's really happening. I mean,

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:03.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe if you're somebody who's at high risk. Kids are

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:06.600
<v Speaker 1>at almost no risk, I mean basically zero risk. So

0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe if you're social distancing to keep grandma or grandpa safe,

0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, that might work. It's very unlikely to be

0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:17.360
<v Speaker 1>an easy thing to do. Maybe it'll work. But for families,

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:19.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, a husband and wife and their young children,

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:23.119
<v Speaker 1>there's the science is absolutely on their side, not on

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the side of the cop. Who. I do admit I

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 1>feel bad when cops are being told you got to

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:30.879
<v Speaker 1>clear the park and that's the city ordinance, you know,

0:25:30.920 --> 0:25:33.359
<v Speaker 1>that's the rule. You know, what are they what are

0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:34.960
<v Speaker 1>they going to do? I mean now, I think that

0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:36.520
<v Speaker 1>they can use discretion. And I know a lot of

0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:38.479
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement listens to the show, and you guys know,

0:25:39.080 --> 0:25:42.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, it always comes down to people, right. I mean,

0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:43.920
<v Speaker 1>you can see this in some of these videos. I'm

0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 1>about to play a video that that things. It sends

0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:48.000
<v Speaker 1>a chill up your spine. It's not not a good

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 1>video about a law enforce interaction with people. But I'm

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:53.400
<v Speaker 1>very sensitive to it. You know, if you're if you're

0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:56.720
<v Speaker 1>being respectful. You know, I gave a I mentioned a

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:58.359
<v Speaker 1>few weeks ago, maybe a week or two ago, that

0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I and a sometimes Secret Service can be a little imperious.

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.879
<v Speaker 1>It's because I had a an interaction with one of

0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:06.320
<v Speaker 1>the with one of the family members, not not for

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.479
<v Speaker 1>Trump himself, but with the Secret Service member. And I

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:10.480
<v Speaker 1>was completely right and being respectful, and the guy was

0:26:10.480 --> 0:26:12.680
<v Speaker 1>being a jerk. And I know the difference because I've

0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:15.840
<v Speaker 1>been on different sides of that equation. And he was out,

0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:17.400
<v Speaker 1>he was out of line, and maybe he was having

0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:19.439
<v Speaker 1>a bad day. Maybe you know, maybe his wife is

0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:21.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, angried and for something. Who knows right and

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:23.879
<v Speaker 1>not get that? People are people. When you're dealing with

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:26.439
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement, and I know all the cops and former

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:29.840
<v Speaker 1>cops listening to this, no first thing is how how

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:33.400
<v Speaker 1>are you responding to the law law enforcement request? Are

0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:36.280
<v Speaker 1>you showing that you are being reasonable and cooperative? That's

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:38.600
<v Speaker 1>always step one. I actually think that they should I

0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:40.679
<v Speaker 1>don't know if they do, I will say that, but

0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:43.119
<v Speaker 1>I think that they should teach this in school. You know,

0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to tell you this right now. I remember

0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:48.800
<v Speaker 1>being when I was a freshman in high school to

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:52.200
<v Speaker 1>take you know, they took a banana and a prophylactic

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:54.439
<v Speaker 1>device and they you know, they actually they actually do that,

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 1>like they taught us how to do that, you know,

0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:01.000
<v Speaker 1>in health class. We had a health class, you know,

0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:03.640
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like it would be important for people

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:05.960
<v Speaker 1>to learn first of all, basic finance and accounting so

0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you can manage your own your own economic and financial

0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:12.680
<v Speaker 1>future better. That would have been helpful. But beyond that,

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 1>they should have people. They should do it like a

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:16.600
<v Speaker 1>role play where you're dealing with cops. I think it's

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:18.760
<v Speaker 1>a smart thing and all it shows you is just

0:27:18.880 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 1>be respectful and don't you know, don't antagonize them. Don't

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:25.960
<v Speaker 1>antagonize them. A lot of people do that and then

0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 1>they start doing the wire. You're putting your hands on

0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:29.959
<v Speaker 1>me and you're not allowed to arrest me, and you

0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>can't do that. Actually they can in that You can

0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:37.360
<v Speaker 1>always adjudicate it later. You can sue, you can bring

0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:40.760
<v Speaker 1>a court action, but in that moment, I'm not getting arrested.

0:27:40.800 --> 0:27:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Today is not an option. So you know, you get

0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:47.879
<v Speaker 1>into this difficult, this tension. That's one side of it.

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 1>The other side of it is cops are people to

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:56.440
<v Speaker 1>have got a cop of my immediate family? Cops are people, well, yeah,

0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:59.359
<v Speaker 1>I think it is. You know aunt's uncles, those are

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:02.520
<v Speaker 1>those are considered immediate or no, well in my family, sorry,

0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 1>in my family. I don't want you guys to do

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:06.200
<v Speaker 1>a deep dive and say, wait a second, Buck's dad

0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:08.760
<v Speaker 1>is a cop. No, No, one of my one of

0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:13.159
<v Speaker 1>my one of my uncles is law enforcement. But you

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:17.120
<v Speaker 1>look at this and you say to yourself, Okay, everyone

0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 1>understands that there's some pretty wacky rules out there, some

0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:25.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty bad regulations that are being enforced on US Governor

0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Gavin Newsom. This just happened last night. I should have

0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:30.600
<v Speaker 1>mentioned at the top of the show. He is closing

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:34.879
<v Speaker 1>beaches in California to punish people because too many people

0:28:34.880 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>weren't social distancing enough. Collective punishment is the calling card

0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:44.880
<v Speaker 1>of authoritarianism. I mean, collective punishment is like a baseline

0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:50.560
<v Speaker 1>reality in authoritarian societies. And that's what Governor Newsom's doing. Oh,

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you guys don't social distance enough, I'm gonna take I'm

0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:56.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna take away your beach access. Well, everyone gets their

0:28:56.960 --> 0:28:59.440
<v Speaker 1>beach access taken away because some people aren't. And the

0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 1>beach is all one of the safest places you can be.

0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 1>It's that's the whole thing. Is so stupid where surround

0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:05.800
<v Speaker 1>with so much stupidity, But it isn't coming up on

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement to make good decisions about this stuff. And

0:29:10.320 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 1>they they also you know, so I said before, you

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:14.440
<v Speaker 1>got to be respectful law enforcement. But there's it's a

0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:19.000
<v Speaker 1>two way street. Law enforcement has to use its discretion appropriately.

0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:22.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, law enforcement has to be willing to uh,

0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:26.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, they've got a lot of authority. They can

0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:27.640
<v Speaker 1>let you go with the warning, or they can just

0:29:27.680 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 1>say hey, as a head's up, you know, or they

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:32.360
<v Speaker 1>can make a big thing of it. And everyone knows this, right,

0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes they're going a little too far. This is what

0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:39.640
<v Speaker 1>happened in where this was in Wisconsin, and here's how

0:29:39.680 --> 0:29:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the exchange went. Producer Mark play it. So are you

0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:49.720
<v Speaker 1>aware that we're in a stadth Hoole order right now? Yeah? Obvious? Kay,

0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 1>you're aware of that. I am aware. I don't need

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:53.440
<v Speaker 1>to explain that to you. No, you don't need to

0:29:53.440 --> 0:29:58.320
<v Speaker 1>explain to you. Can you can because your officer was

0:29:58.400 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 1>just here two weeks ago, could you, And he explained

0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 1>it to me that you guys weren't enforcing that order. Okay,

0:30:04.960 --> 0:30:07.200
<v Speaker 1>you understand it though, Okay, So why are you here?

0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Because your daughter is going to play at other people's

0:30:09.640 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 1>home and you're allowing it to happen. They were over

0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:17.640
<v Speaker 1>here as well, So are you here? Okay? So now

0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I understand okay, And so either you can acknowledge it

0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 1>or you can argue I'm I'm acknowledging it. Okay, stop

0:30:23.280 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 1>having your kid go by other people's home. Stop having

0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:32.520
<v Speaker 1>your kid go by other people's homes. This woman got

0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:36.480
<v Speaker 1>a got a visit from two sheriff's deputies to tell

0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:38.920
<v Speaker 1>her that her child, who I guess we could assume

0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 1>is probably you know, usually if you're arranging played eights

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 1>kids like six or seven or eight or something, a

0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:47.200
<v Speaker 1>young kid going over to play with other kids. No, no,

0:30:47.600 --> 0:30:51.880
<v Speaker 1>stay locked at home. Because they say so. Children are

0:30:51.920 --> 0:30:55.719
<v Speaker 1>at almost zero risk from I mean to say that,

0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:58.200
<v Speaker 1>you can't technically say they're at zero risk. But also,

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:01.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, you can't say at zero risk for someone

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to drink water because the water could be contaminated. You know,

0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the water could have bacteria, could have you know, salmonella

0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:09.600
<v Speaker 1>in it, or a garda or something, and you could die.

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:11.719
<v Speaker 1>You could die from that glass of water that you're

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:13.840
<v Speaker 1>drinking right now. I can't I can guarantee you you're

0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:16.080
<v Speaker 1>not going to die from it. That's crazy, though, right.

0:31:16.080 --> 0:31:18.280
<v Speaker 1>We don't think that way. That's not how we approach life.

0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:22.760
<v Speaker 1>We always build into our actions and to our assumptions.

0:31:22.760 --> 0:31:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Some assessment of the real risk. The real risk to

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:28.000
<v Speaker 1>children from this virus is zero, and the risk of

0:31:28.000 --> 0:31:31.800
<v Speaker 1>transmission increasingly we're seeing from children to adults. I can't

0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 1>explain why this is, but we're seeing study after study

0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:37.479
<v Speaker 1>that suggests the risk of transmission from children to adults

0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:41.520
<v Speaker 1>is also very very low. So here you have a

0:31:41.640 --> 0:31:44.040
<v Speaker 1>woman who doesn't want her daughter to not have not

0:31:44.120 --> 0:31:46.240
<v Speaker 1>be able to see any friends. We're going on now

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:48.760
<v Speaker 1>six weeks. This is going to be week seven of lockdown.

0:31:49.320 --> 0:31:52.560
<v Speaker 1>And you know, kids are out of school, they're locked

0:31:52.600 --> 0:31:55.360
<v Speaker 1>at home all day, they're not developing, they don't have

0:31:55.520 --> 0:31:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the normal growth and the normal mechanisms in place to

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 1>foster a healthy environment for them. And sheriff's deputies are

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.600
<v Speaker 1>showing up and telling her, you know, you're you're gonna

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:09.400
<v Speaker 1>either you're what exactly. Also, that's the other thing that

0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:12.560
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna arrest her. I mean, like the way to

0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:14.160
<v Speaker 1>do this would have been a sheriff's deputy come knocked

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 1>door and be like, look, you know, we understand this sucks,

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>we understand this doesn't really make much sense. But ken

0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:21.560
<v Speaker 1>yet now maybe now, maybe I think there's a suggestion

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:23.720
<v Speaker 1>that this is her second time. Maybe they did that

0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the first time. So I try to be fair, we're

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:30.080
<v Speaker 1>only seeing slice of this situation. But you know, they assuming,

0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:31.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, if I'm that cop and I'm going over there,

0:32:31.800 --> 0:32:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say, look, this is kind of it's kind

0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:38.120
<v Speaker 1>of crazy, I know, but let's just, uh, let's assume

0:32:38.240 --> 0:32:41.040
<v Speaker 1>going forward that we're gonna be a little more and

0:32:41.080 --> 0:32:43.120
<v Speaker 1>a little more willing to respect this rule. It's as

0:32:43.160 --> 0:32:45.360
<v Speaker 1>dumb as it is. You know, try something like that first.

0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:48.000
<v Speaker 1>But instead, do we have mark with them saying put

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 1>her on the list? Or do I just stry just

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:53.480
<v Speaker 1>verbalize that one. Okay, Well, they go on in the

0:32:53.520 --> 0:32:55.080
<v Speaker 1>clip and it's fine, you don't need to hear all this,

0:32:55.120 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 1>but they go on in. The female sheriff's deputy who's

0:32:57.200 --> 0:32:59.040
<v Speaker 1>there is asking her name, and she's like, why do

0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I have to the woman who who is the mother

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:03.880
<v Speaker 1>of this daughter who, heaven forbid when and played with

0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:06.200
<v Speaker 1>some other kids. They're asking her name. She says, why

0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:07.400
<v Speaker 1>don't have to give you my name? And you know,

0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 1>this is where you start to get into that cops

0:33:09.640 --> 0:33:11.760
<v Speaker 1>going to escalate. It's getting a little more antagonistic, and

0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:13.360
<v Speaker 1>it says because they want to put her on a list,

0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:17.360
<v Speaker 1>a list of people who are being uncooperative with the

0:33:17.480 --> 0:33:20.240
<v Speaker 1>stupid regulations. This is a dumb regulation. This is this

0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:23.720
<v Speaker 1>does not make sense, that not allowing kids to see

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 1>other kids, it's it's the science doesn't back this up.

0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 1>We're told listen to the science. A science does not

0:33:28.720 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 1>support the Wisconsin state order here that these law enforcement

0:33:32.840 --> 0:33:35.960
<v Speaker 1>officers are being told that they must they must enforce.

0:33:37.200 --> 0:33:39.480
<v Speaker 1>So then you're putting people on list though, and you're

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:42.280
<v Speaker 1>marking them was uncooperative. Well, what kind of list is this?

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Is it a criminal charge? It is this going into

0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:49.560
<v Speaker 1>some kind of report for what? This is not? This

0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:52.240
<v Speaker 1>is not good. This is not the role of police,

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 1>This is not the role of the state at all.

0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:58.960
<v Speaker 1>It shouldn't be done this way. And I know that

0:33:58.960 --> 0:34:01.520
<v Speaker 1>they are starting to be some challenges to the constitutionality

0:34:01.560 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 1>of all this, but we shouldn't get to that point

0:34:05.400 --> 0:34:09.839
<v Speaker 1>because stupid policies like not letting kids see other kids

0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:12.200
<v Speaker 1>right now do not have any do not have any

0:34:12.239 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 1>scientific basis for them. And we have people that don't

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:20.920
<v Speaker 1>know enough to pass a sixth grade basic science class

0:34:22.360 --> 0:34:24.080
<v Speaker 1>telling us what we can do with our day to

0:34:24.160 --> 0:34:27.000
<v Speaker 1>day lives because of the science. These people are these people,

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the politicians that are making these determinations, they're morons. They

0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:33.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know anything. They're deeply ignorant. I mean, if nothing else,

0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:38.080
<v Speaker 1>this is a reminder of how feckless and worthless most

0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:41.960
<v Speaker 1>of our political class really is. That's what we see

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:44.080
<v Speaker 1>happening here. But the overreach is just going to get worse.

0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 1>You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex

0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:57.520
<v Speaker 1>and Show podcast. The data shows that ramdesivia has a

0:34:57.640 --> 0:35:04.799
<v Speaker 1>clear cut, significant positive effect in diminishing the time to recovery.

0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:08.080
<v Speaker 1>This is really quite important for a number of reasons,

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:11.239
<v Speaker 1>and I'll give you the data. It's highly significant. If

0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:15.040
<v Speaker 1>you look at the time to recovery being shorter in

0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:18.400
<v Speaker 1>the remdest of your arm, it was eleven days compared

0:35:18.440 --> 0:35:21.560
<v Speaker 1>to fifteen days. And that's a p value for the

0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:25.799
<v Speaker 1>scientists who are listening of zero point zero zero one.

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:30.839
<v Speaker 1>So that's something that although a thirty one percent improvement

0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:34.880
<v Speaker 1>doesn't seem like a knockout one hundred percent, it is

0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:38.160
<v Speaker 1>a very important proof of concept because what it is

0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:44.239
<v Speaker 1>proven is that a drug can block this virus. Some

0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:46.759
<v Speaker 1>good news, folks, at a time when we could really

0:35:46.840 --> 0:35:49.440
<v Speaker 1>use it. From des of your is not a silver bullet,

0:35:49.480 --> 0:35:52.840
<v Speaker 1>but it's something and it shows that we can have

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:57.560
<v Speaker 1>better things soon. Hopefully, but it is good news. Thanks

0:35:57.560 --> 0:36:00.840
<v Speaker 1>for listening to The bus Stson Show podcast. Remember to

0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:04.680

0:36:04.760 --> 0:36:11.040
<v Speaker 1>get your podcasts. Senator Mitch McConnell, you are bailing out

0:36:11.040 --> 0:36:16.560
<v Speaker 1>in New York when every year you take out more

0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:20.400
<v Speaker 1>from the kitty, the federal pot, thirty seven billion dollars

0:36:20.440 --> 0:36:25.640
<v Speaker 1>more than you put in. Who is bailing out whom?

0:36:25.880 --> 0:36:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Senator to Scott Florida, You're gonna bail us out. You

0:36:30.840 --> 0:36:36.560
<v Speaker 1>take out thirty billion dollars more every year than you

0:36:36.719 --> 0:36:42.640
<v Speaker 1>pay in. How dare they? How dare they win? Those

0:36:42.680 --> 0:36:45.319
<v Speaker 1>are the facts? How long are you going to play

0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the American people and assume they're stupid? They are not,

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:54.400
<v Speaker 1>and they can add and they know facts. And I

0:36:54.440 --> 0:36:58.160
<v Speaker 1>don't care what the news media tries to do to

0:36:58.239 --> 0:37:02.600
<v Speaker 1>distort these facts. They are numbers and they are facts,

0:37:03.600 --> 0:37:07.880
<v Speaker 1>and they can't be distorted. And this is every year.

0:37:08.640 --> 0:37:13.560
<v Speaker 1>So the fight among the states is also a financial one.

0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 1>As we see, you have the pressure to reopen red

0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:20.120
<v Speaker 1>states blue states. Blue states are going to move more

0:37:20.120 --> 0:37:23.440
<v Speaker 1>slowly on this. Hopefully the red states like Texas will

0:37:23.440 --> 0:37:26.759
<v Speaker 1>do very well, though Texas is opening is going on.

0:37:26.840 --> 0:37:30.879
<v Speaker 1>Are pretty They're they're moving cautiously. They're not jumping into

0:37:30.880 --> 0:37:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the deep end of the pool here. They're they're moving

0:37:33.680 --> 0:37:36.680
<v Speaker 1>at a relatively slow pace, but they are opening up.

0:37:36.880 --> 0:37:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Twenty five percent of businesses will be able to operate.

0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:43.320
<v Speaker 1>So I hope things are going well, especially down in Austin.

0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Are wonderful affiliate their KLBJ Austin. I hope you folks

0:37:46.320 --> 0:37:48.759
<v Speaker 1>are doing all right. I was planning. I've been planning

0:37:48.760 --> 0:37:50.239
<v Speaker 1>for a long time to get to Austin, although I

0:37:50.280 --> 0:37:52.799
<v Speaker 1>think that it's gonna have to wait until I'm allowed

0:37:52.840 --> 0:37:56.400
<v Speaker 1>to fly on planes. But I know Texas is moving

0:37:56.440 --> 0:37:59.120
<v Speaker 1>along and that will hopefully put additional pressure on these

0:37:59.120 --> 0:38:02.799
<v Speaker 1>blue states to it up and running. Two. But there's

0:38:02.840 --> 0:38:05.719
<v Speaker 1>also the financial obligations component of this, and this is

0:38:05.760 --> 0:38:08.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be a very interesting discussion. It should be easy,

0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:12.879
<v Speaker 1>it should be straightforward. A state might be able to

0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:15.279
<v Speaker 1>make the case, I think, especially in New York, State's

0:38:15.320 --> 0:38:19.439
<v Speaker 1>going to make this case that virus specific budget shortfalls

0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:23.319
<v Speaker 1>deserve federal assistance. And that's the same way that if

0:38:23.360 --> 0:38:27.759
<v Speaker 1>a state was decimated by a hurricane or an earthquake,

0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:31.040
<v Speaker 1>there would be federal funding. There would be federal assistance.

0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:33.799
<v Speaker 1>I think that that's that's a fair case to make,

0:38:33.840 --> 0:38:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and there's there's merit in that. The problem comes up

0:38:37.960 --> 0:38:40.600
<v Speaker 1>when all of a sudden people are saying, well, why

0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:43.600
<v Speaker 1>don't we just and we got we're spending trillions, why

0:38:43.600 --> 0:38:45.759
<v Speaker 1>don't we get an extra you know, ten billion here,

0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:48.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty billion there, to take the debt off the state's

0:38:48.280 --> 0:38:51.680
<v Speaker 1>books for stuff that has nothing to do with the

0:38:51.719 --> 0:38:56.399
<v Speaker 1>actual virus shutdown. That's where you get in this fight

0:38:56.400 --> 0:38:58.440
<v Speaker 1>with miss mcconaughs and Miss McConnell had said maybe some

0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:03.560
<v Speaker 1>states should be allowed to go bankrupt. New York State,

0:39:03.600 --> 0:39:06.320
<v Speaker 1>for understand, I think has has a hundred and thirty

0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:10.399
<v Speaker 1>billion dollar debt. It's a lot of money. New York

0:39:10.600 --> 0:39:13.440
<v Speaker 1>is very very deep in the red. There are other

0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:16.400
<v Speaker 1>states Illinois, producer, Mark, would you tell me what the

0:39:16.440 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Illinois state debt is? I don't want to look at

0:39:18.120 --> 0:39:19.360
<v Speaker 1>it right now. I can't try to look it up

0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:20.600
<v Speaker 1>while we're on air. But let me know what the

0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Illinois state debt is. Some of these states have run

0:39:23.280 --> 0:39:26.400
<v Speaker 1>up enormous tabs, and right now there's a very clear

0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:30.040
<v Speaker 1>political incentive for them. While the piggy bank of the

0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:33.719
<v Speaker 1>treasury has been shattered, and everyone's just grabbing, grabbing for

0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:36.400
<v Speaker 1>whatever they can get, and it's gross. There's a lot

0:39:36.480 --> 0:39:38.400
<v Speaker 1>of that's going on. We all know what's happening. But

0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:42.400
<v Speaker 1>while that's going on, these states are seeing this as

0:39:42.440 --> 0:39:46.759
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity themselves to get some of their debts taken away.

0:39:46.760 --> 0:39:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Remember the debts that states are running up are overwhelmingly

0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:57.480
<v Speaker 1>from one thing. Say with me, folks, public sector pensions.

0:39:58.400 --> 0:40:01.399
<v Speaker 1>That's what that's what they huge issue is here when

0:40:01.440 --> 0:40:04.640
<v Speaker 1>you look at some of the some of the contracts

0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and remember that you got one party rule at the

0:40:07.040 --> 0:40:10.799
<v Speaker 1>state level in a place like in a place like

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:16.080
<v Speaker 1>New York, in a place like California. Wow, Illinois had

0:40:16.120 --> 0:40:20.719
<v Speaker 1>to producer mark Illinois two hundred and three billion dollars

0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:24.799
<v Speaker 1>in the red, two hundred three billion dollars debt for

0:40:24.880 --> 0:40:30.160
<v Speaker 1>a state. That's that's remarkable. So that's why we see

0:40:30.160 --> 0:40:32.400
<v Speaker 1>this in states are saying, hey, you know, maybe they

0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:34.080
<v Speaker 1>won't get the whole thing wiped away, but can you

0:40:34.120 --> 0:40:35.680
<v Speaker 1>imagine if you're a state you get to have your

0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:39.600
<v Speaker 1>your public debt cut in half or even cut it

0:40:39.640 --> 0:40:43.520
<v Speaker 1>down by twenty or thirty percent. Oh, what a windfall

0:40:43.760 --> 0:40:47.800
<v Speaker 1>that would be for public sector unions, which are the

0:40:48.160 --> 0:40:51.680
<v Speaker 1>ones that are the most egregious. I don't know, and

0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:53.200
<v Speaker 1>again people get mad at me for this one, but

0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the most egregious public sector union with this stuff is

0:40:56.000 --> 0:40:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the teachers union. It's the teachers unions and the EDGE

0:40:59.640 --> 0:41:02.239
<v Speaker 1>and the edge ucation departments for these different states. That's

0:41:02.239 --> 0:41:05.560
<v Speaker 1>where a huge portion of this budget shortfall comes from

0:41:05.680 --> 0:41:08.000
<v Speaker 1>yearning year AT's why property taxes keep going up in

0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:10.960
<v Speaker 1>these places. That's why the state taxes are as high

0:41:11.000 --> 0:41:15.440
<v Speaker 1>as they are. And there's there's an unholy alliance between

0:41:15.680 --> 0:41:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the Democrat left and these public sector particularly the public

0:41:19.239 --> 0:41:23.800
<v Speaker 1>sector unions, and it's a huge source of political donations

0:41:23.800 --> 0:41:26.120
<v Speaker 1>and political muscle to make sure Democrats stay in charge

0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:28.960
<v Speaker 1>in these places. The reason the pension benefits are so big,

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:31.640
<v Speaker 1>and this is not that complicated to understand it. To

0:41:31.680 --> 0:41:34.960
<v Speaker 1>find out the pension benefits are big because that's something

0:41:35.000 --> 0:41:38.839
<v Speaker 1>that's back ended and so that they can do a calculation,

0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:42.759
<v Speaker 1>they'll promise the unions, hey, you know, you guys, we

0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:45.480
<v Speaker 1>can't pay you all one hundred and fifty grand, right,

0:41:45.480 --> 0:41:48.600
<v Speaker 1>we can't pay a public school teachers on Well, they'll

0:41:48.600 --> 0:41:52.400
<v Speaker 1>pay administrators money like that sometimes depends on the school district.

0:41:52.760 --> 0:41:54.239
<v Speaker 1>But we're not gonna be able to pay teachers that,

0:41:54.600 --> 0:41:57.040
<v Speaker 1>but we will be able to give you, you know,

0:41:57.160 --> 0:42:02.400
<v Speaker 1>full benefits, full healthcare and retirement for you know, for

0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:05.080
<v Speaker 1>the rest of your life. And with twenty years of service.

0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, you have to look at what

0:42:06.120 --> 0:42:09.200
<v Speaker 1>the specific contracts are for different places. But after twenty

0:42:09.239 --> 0:42:11.279
<v Speaker 1>years of service, regardless of how old you are, and

0:42:11.320 --> 0:42:12.920
<v Speaker 1>you can go get another job, you're gonna have full

0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:15.480
<v Speaker 1>benefits the rest of your life. Really sweet back end

0:42:15.520 --> 0:42:19.560
<v Speaker 1>deals that are very expensive, very expensive. I remember when

0:42:19.560 --> 0:42:22.759
<v Speaker 1>I was I was not actually a uniformed officer, so

0:42:22.840 --> 0:42:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I was a contract civilian effectively brought in as an

0:42:27.120 --> 0:42:31.280
<v Speaker 1>outside expert to work with the NYPD as as a civilian,

0:42:31.840 --> 0:42:34.880
<v Speaker 1>but I knew what some of the deals were in

0:42:34.920 --> 0:42:37.680
<v Speaker 1>place and what the union had negotiated. If you're NYPD,

0:42:37.960 --> 0:42:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, you get to retire. At least when I

0:42:39.920 --> 0:42:42.400
<v Speaker 1>was in when I was working there, you could retire

0:42:42.440 --> 0:42:44.880
<v Speaker 1>after twenty it doesn't matter how old you were, so

0:42:44.960 --> 0:42:47.480
<v Speaker 1>you could retire in your forties with full pension and

0:42:47.520 --> 0:42:51.440
<v Speaker 1>benefits for you and your family, which was which was

0:42:51.480 --> 0:42:54.719
<v Speaker 1>a pretty amazing deal. When you think about it, and

0:42:55.120 --> 0:42:58.319
<v Speaker 1>the healthcare that they have is effectively they don't really

0:42:58.360 --> 0:43:00.520
<v Speaker 1>pay anything for it, and it's good healthcare. I had

0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:03.719
<v Speaker 1>terrible healthcare as a contracts civilian, and Hypd's healthcare for

0:43:03.800 --> 0:43:07.200
<v Speaker 1>me was total garbage. So anyway, that's where the big

0:43:07.239 --> 0:43:10.240
<v Speaker 1>budget shortfall comes in. And this is long term spending.

0:43:10.480 --> 0:43:13.640
<v Speaker 1>These are bad habits that states have that they don't

0:43:13.640 --> 0:43:15.959
<v Speaker 1>want to be held to account for. That's why Trump

0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:18.319
<v Speaker 1>comes along and he's like, Okay, well, you know we're

0:43:18.360 --> 0:43:20.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a conversation about this. That there's going to

0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:22.440
<v Speaker 1>be bailouts for these states. It's not going to be

0:43:22.520 --> 0:43:26.000
<v Speaker 1>as easy as just you know, we want money, give

0:43:26.120 --> 0:43:28.239
<v Speaker 1>us money. The federal government doesn't have to do that.

0:43:28.520 --> 0:43:31.400
<v Speaker 1>There's no obligation of the federal government to come along

0:43:32.000 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and financially make these states whole or solve it. Even so,

0:43:38.239 --> 0:43:41.080
<v Speaker 1>this is what the President said, play clip twelve. I

0:43:41.120 --> 0:43:43.359
<v Speaker 1>don't think you should have sanctuary cities if they get

0:43:43.400 --> 0:43:44.840
<v Speaker 1>that kind of aid. You know, if you're going to

0:43:44.920 --> 0:43:46.800
<v Speaker 1>get aid to the cities and states, if for the

0:43:46.920 --> 0:43:50.239
<v Speaker 1>kind of numbers you're talking about billions of dollars, I

0:43:50.320 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 1>don't think you should have sanctuary cities. And by the way,

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:55.120
<v Speaker 1>the people that have sanctuary cities, they don't like it.

0:43:55.680 --> 0:43:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I think politicians like it a lot more. I go

0:43:58.000 --> 0:44:02.000
<v Speaker 1>to California, I go to lots of different places. Sanctuary

0:44:02.080 --> 0:44:04.200
<v Speaker 1>cities are going to be a part of this fight.

0:44:05.120 --> 0:44:07.080
<v Speaker 1>The Department of Justice has already been taking this on

0:44:07.239 --> 0:44:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Justice does not want this to be

0:44:11.000 --> 0:44:15.719
<v Speaker 1>something that continues. So we'll see. We'll see if the

0:44:15.840 --> 0:44:18.239
<v Speaker 1>President holds to this, but there might be some negotiating

0:44:18.280 --> 0:44:21.440
<v Speaker 1>over what states get, what they can do, and how far,

0:44:21.880 --> 0:44:25.800
<v Speaker 1>how far this bailout is really going to stretch the

0:44:26.239 --> 0:44:28.719
<v Speaker 1>red states and blue states. We are seeing we're seeing

0:44:28.800 --> 0:44:30.719
<v Speaker 1>federalism at work, but as we know, that can be

0:44:30.800 --> 0:44:35.000
<v Speaker 1>a messy and loud process. It's not a seamless, not

0:44:35.120 --> 0:44:40.880
<v Speaker 1>a seamless situation. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is

0:44:40.920 --> 0:44:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the Buck Sex and Show podcast. We're now on average

0:44:48.200 --> 0:44:53.520
<v Speaker 1>about thirty thousand tests per day, which is a dramatic

0:44:53.640 --> 0:44:57.160
<v Speaker 1>increase now where we need to be, but a dramatic increase.

0:44:57.800 --> 0:45:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Where we are now. You should know is New York

0:45:01.480 --> 0:45:05.759
<v Speaker 1>State is doing more than most countries are doing. So

0:45:05.960 --> 0:45:08.560
<v Speaker 1>we have been very aggressive and testing and we have

0:45:08.800 --> 0:45:12.719
<v Speaker 1>made great progress, and New Yorkers should feel good about that,

0:45:12.960 --> 0:45:16.759
<v Speaker 1>but we have more to do. You know that I've

0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:22.360
<v Speaker 1>been skeptical of how successful will be in the biggest

0:45:22.560 --> 0:45:27.000
<v Speaker 1>single point that you'll hear from the shutdown, lockdown forever

0:45:27.160 --> 0:45:29.920
<v Speaker 1>chorus or the lockdown until it's safe, which is not

0:45:30.040 --> 0:45:32.080
<v Speaker 1>a thing. There's not going to be until it's there's

0:45:32.080 --> 0:45:34.320
<v Speaker 1>not going to be a safe unless a miracle happens.

0:45:34.360 --> 0:45:36.000
<v Speaker 1>And we don't wait for miracles. We don't shut down

0:45:36.000 --> 0:45:39.480
<v Speaker 1>our economy hoping for a miracle. But test in trace

0:45:40.280 --> 0:45:42.800
<v Speaker 1>has been the refrain, right, Oh, we're just going to

0:45:42.880 --> 0:45:44.840
<v Speaker 1>test in trace. That's what we're That's how we handle this,

0:45:44.960 --> 0:45:48.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what we'll do. And I've been saying, well, on

0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the one end, there's just the civil liberties issue of

0:45:53.840 --> 0:45:56.759
<v Speaker 1>having people. Now that we're hiring these tracers, people are

0:45:56.760 --> 0:45:58.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk to you about everyone you've talked to you

0:45:58.760 --> 0:46:01.759
<v Speaker 1>and been around a little creepy from a big those

0:46:01.800 --> 0:46:03.719
<v Speaker 1>of us that worry about big government, that should be

0:46:03.760 --> 0:46:06.759
<v Speaker 1>an issue. I would think it's an issue. But then

0:46:06.800 --> 0:46:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you'll also add into this the competency or lack thereof,

0:46:11.719 --> 0:46:14.360
<v Speaker 1>if the government to even do this proct now now

0:46:14.480 --> 0:46:16.520
<v Speaker 1>testing fun. We're going to test at a high level.

0:46:17.560 --> 0:46:20.080
<v Speaker 1>But remember we're being told that if we test enough,

0:46:20.160 --> 0:46:24.040
<v Speaker 1>that'll be that will allow us to suppress the virus,

0:46:24.800 --> 0:46:26.880
<v Speaker 1>which would mean we'd have to be testing large numbers

0:46:26.920 --> 0:46:28.960
<v Speaker 1>of asymptomatic people. We'd have to be able to the

0:46:29.080 --> 0:46:31.719
<v Speaker 1>system would have to sustain that. And then we have

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:35.080
<v Speaker 1>this tracing capacity where anyone who has the virus, they're

0:46:35.120 --> 0:46:37.279
<v Speaker 1>going to track down all their contacts and find out

0:46:37.280 --> 0:46:39.320
<v Speaker 1>who and make sure they get tested right away so

0:46:39.400 --> 0:46:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that they know if they have it before they infect

0:46:41.120 --> 0:46:46.399
<v Speaker 1>other people. I does this sound plausible to you, because

0:46:46.680 --> 0:46:50.080
<v Speaker 1>let me just say this, the unemployment numbers that came

0:46:50.120 --> 0:46:53.600
<v Speaker 1>out today, which we all know are are just jaw dropping,

0:46:53.640 --> 0:46:55.880
<v Speaker 1>but we kind of expect it, right, there's no surprise.

0:46:55.920 --> 0:46:58.920
<v Speaker 1>You're three point eight million more of sought jobless benefits.

0:47:00.880 --> 0:47:04.080
<v Speaker 1>But we're also seeing that the states that are supposed

0:47:04.120 --> 0:47:06.960
<v Speaker 1>to be dolling out money here, including the six hundred

0:47:06.960 --> 0:47:09.520
<v Speaker 1>dollars a week of additional benefit from the federal government,

0:47:09.520 --> 0:47:12.719
<v Speaker 1>which is why now you have so many employees who

0:47:12.880 --> 0:47:17.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want to go back, don't want to work when

0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:20.120
<v Speaker 1>they could just stay home and keep getting paid more money.

0:47:20.920 --> 0:47:23.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, I love this job, but I don't want

0:47:23.239 --> 0:47:25.680
<v Speaker 1>to know if I double producer mark salary and said,

0:47:25.719 --> 0:47:28.360
<v Speaker 1>producer Mark, you can stay home for double the salary,

0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:30.640
<v Speaker 1>or you can come in and work. You know, I

0:47:30.719 --> 0:47:32.440
<v Speaker 1>might have to ask him at least pretty pleased to

0:47:32.600 --> 0:47:34.279
<v Speaker 1>actually come back in and work, right, And that would

0:47:34.280 --> 0:47:37.480
<v Speaker 1>be true of anybody if you're making more money, considerably

0:47:37.520 --> 0:47:40.200
<v Speaker 1>more money in a lot of cases, for folks staying

0:47:40.280 --> 0:47:42.719
<v Speaker 1>home than you are working, the incentive to work goes down.

0:47:43.320 --> 0:47:45.520
<v Speaker 1>But the states not only that they have to deal

0:47:45.560 --> 0:47:47.960
<v Speaker 1>with this problem where people don't want to go back

0:47:48.040 --> 0:47:52.320
<v Speaker 1>and work, there's also an inability for these states to

0:47:52.600 --> 0:47:58.560
<v Speaker 1>dole out the money properly and to process the unemployment applications.

0:47:59.520 --> 0:48:03.480
<v Speaker 1>They're not really able to do that. You say, well,

0:48:03.600 --> 0:48:06.680
<v Speaker 1>how is that possible? Well? Wall Street Journal has a

0:48:06.719 --> 0:48:09.080
<v Speaker 1>really good piece on it today about the surge in

0:48:09.239 --> 0:48:12.200
<v Speaker 1>jobless benefits testing state systems. Here's what they tell you.

0:48:13.800 --> 0:48:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Many states unemployment benefits systems quote are hamstrung by archaic,

0:48:19.120 --> 0:48:23.520
<v Speaker 1>decades old technology, coping with relief legislation that provides an

0:48:23.520 --> 0:48:25.919
<v Speaker 1>additional six hundred dollars a week in benefits and making

0:48:26.400 --> 0:48:30.680
<v Speaker 1>independent contractors such as Uber and drivers Uber Drivers Eligible

0:48:30.719 --> 0:48:36.800
<v Speaker 1>has created additional strains. The administrative problems means the official

0:48:36.880 --> 0:48:41.000
<v Speaker 1>tally of twenty six million initial claims is almost certainly

0:48:41.040 --> 0:48:45.439
<v Speaker 1>an undercount. About six hundred thousand people tried to apply

0:48:45.560 --> 0:48:47.759
<v Speaker 1>for benefits in the week end at April twenty third,

0:48:48.160 --> 0:48:51.680
<v Speaker 1>but we're unable to file due to long waits or

0:48:51.880 --> 0:48:58.160
<v Speaker 1>other reasons. Then then they do. So the system is

0:48:58.600 --> 0:49:01.960
<v Speaker 1>decades old technology. I've told you before about my experience

0:49:02.000 --> 0:49:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the NYPD using a and this was in two thousand

0:49:04.600 --> 0:49:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and eleven, so almost ten years ago. But they were

0:49:08.600 --> 0:49:11.000
<v Speaker 1>using a system I'm not kidding. It ran on DOSS.

0:49:11.920 --> 0:49:14.160
<v Speaker 1>So it was like you know, the little, the little

0:49:14.200 --> 0:49:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know how to describe, how to describe it,

0:49:16.160 --> 0:49:18.720
<v Speaker 1>but this is I think almost before producer Mark was alive.

0:49:19.120 --> 0:49:23.680
<v Speaker 1>But you know, C colon, dash, dash tab, semi colon.

0:49:24.239 --> 0:49:26.719
<v Speaker 1>That's and we were It was always this big joke

0:49:26.800 --> 0:49:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and frustration in the office that we're using a DOSS system.

0:49:31.200 --> 0:49:35.000
<v Speaker 1>This thing is quite literally from I think then maybe

0:49:35.040 --> 0:49:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the early nineties, and that was what we had to

0:49:37.920 --> 0:49:44.160
<v Speaker 1>do to pull up files for things was absurd, absurd.

0:49:44.960 --> 0:49:46.759
<v Speaker 1>But states have a lot of stuff like that where

0:49:46.760 --> 0:49:48.360
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to. They don't want to invest. You

0:49:48.440 --> 0:49:51.239
<v Speaker 1>don't get votes. You know you don't. You don't consolidate

0:49:51.320 --> 0:49:54.279
<v Speaker 1>your power as a state government by making sure that

0:49:54.400 --> 0:49:58.400
<v Speaker 1>people are more efficient at their jobs. No, remember this,

0:49:58.560 --> 0:50:01.719
<v Speaker 1>the government always has an incenti of state governments in particular. Well,

0:50:01.719 --> 0:50:06.160
<v Speaker 1>all governments really have an incentive to be inefficient because

0:50:06.280 --> 0:50:11.200
<v Speaker 1>their inefficiency becomes the justification for a greater demand for resources.

0:50:11.680 --> 0:50:13.880
<v Speaker 1>So they need more people, they need more stuff, they

0:50:13.920 --> 0:50:18.080
<v Speaker 1>need more money, they need more money. Well, why make

0:50:18.200 --> 0:50:20.239
<v Speaker 1>someone better at their job when you could hire three

0:50:20.320 --> 0:50:22.560
<v Speaker 1>people to do one job. So you have to keep

0:50:22.600 --> 0:50:25.719
<v Speaker 1>that in mind. That's how the government functions as a

0:50:25.800 --> 0:50:29.600
<v Speaker 1>general rule. Than The Wall Street Journal brings his home

0:50:29.680 --> 0:50:32.240
<v Speaker 1>by explaining what this means for people that states, Remember

0:50:32.239 --> 0:50:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the states, they're going to do the test and trade system.

0:50:34.480 --> 0:50:36.920
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna do test and trace, but they can't handle

0:50:36.960 --> 0:50:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the jobless applications out there. But they're going to handle

0:50:39.520 --> 0:50:45.120
<v Speaker 1>test and trace really well, does anybody believe this? Journal?

0:50:45.200 --> 0:50:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Here reports that a resident of New Jersey, amber Montserrat,

0:50:49.200 --> 0:50:51.560
<v Speaker 1>said she had a pass to electricity bill and rent

0:50:51.640 --> 0:50:53.480
<v Speaker 1>to pay, but still doesn't know when she'll receive on

0:50:53.560 --> 0:50:56.360
<v Speaker 1>employment benefits. She's a mother of four boys and her

0:50:56.400 --> 0:51:00.200
<v Speaker 1>family's main breadwinner. She started applying for unemployed I mean

0:51:00.200 --> 0:51:02.359
<v Speaker 1>in mid March. She was laid off from her job

0:51:02.400 --> 0:51:05.239
<v Speaker 1>as a waitress because of the pandemic. She now works

0:51:05.320 --> 0:51:07.239
<v Speaker 1>one day a week delivering meals to families in the

0:51:07.440 --> 0:51:10.799
<v Speaker 1>school district. She calls the New Jersey Department of Labor

0:51:10.840 --> 0:51:12.520
<v Speaker 1>and Workforce every day to find out what the hold

0:51:12.600 --> 0:51:15.919
<v Speaker 1>up is, but has not been able to get through.

0:51:17.320 --> 0:51:20.959
<v Speaker 1>So people have no money, they have no job. We've

0:51:21.320 --> 0:51:24.080
<v Speaker 1>just been told the governments at trying to just shovel

0:51:24.160 --> 0:51:27.319
<v Speaker 1>money to them as fast as they can, and they're

0:51:27.320 --> 0:51:28.960
<v Speaker 1>not even able to do that. But we're going to

0:51:29.000 --> 0:51:32.640
<v Speaker 1>have a massive program of finding all cases, finding all

0:51:32.680 --> 0:51:35.080
<v Speaker 1>positives and everyone that they've come into contact with once

0:51:35.080 --> 0:51:38.600
<v Speaker 1>they're positib we're gonna set that up real fast. Does

0:51:38.640 --> 0:51:40.520
<v Speaker 1>anyone want to place bets and whether the buckster is

0:51:40.520 --> 0:51:41.960
<v Speaker 1>going to end up looking right on this one or not.

0:51:44.360 --> 0:51:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Quote I'm reading that the system is over forty years old.

0:51:47.080 --> 0:51:50.680
<v Speaker 1>It's pen and pencil type stuff. She said. That's not

0:51:50.800 --> 0:51:53.080
<v Speaker 1>really acceptable now when you have people that are relying

0:51:53.400 --> 0:51:59.239
<v Speaker 1>on these services, it is not acceptable, is it? This

0:51:59.440 --> 0:52:01.520
<v Speaker 1>is why you don't want state governments in charge of things.

0:52:01.880 --> 0:52:03.759
<v Speaker 1>This is why you don't want the government running your

0:52:03.760 --> 0:52:07.160
<v Speaker 1>whole economy. There are reasons for the beliefs that we

0:52:07.280 --> 0:52:10.800
<v Speaker 1>have has conservative. There are reasons why we want limited government.

0:52:10.800 --> 0:52:12.279
<v Speaker 1>It's not because we're mean, it's not because we're all

0:52:12.280 --> 0:52:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Ebenezer Scrooge. It's because we understand the limitations and the

0:52:15.800 --> 0:52:20.239
<v Speaker 1>built in lack of incentive for efficiency, for getting things

0:52:20.320 --> 0:52:23.839
<v Speaker 1>done well. And then the Wall Street Journal article then

0:52:23.880 --> 0:52:26.480
<v Speaker 1>gives you then this is a this is a classic.

0:52:27.120 --> 0:52:28.840
<v Speaker 1>This is what's going on in Connecticut. Remember, these are

0:52:28.920 --> 0:52:32.279
<v Speaker 1>unemployment systems that have been substandard for a long time,

0:52:32.320 --> 0:52:35.640
<v Speaker 1>and now they've just had the biggest deluge of claims

0:52:35.880 --> 0:52:39.560
<v Speaker 1>in history, and they're just breaking under the strain of

0:52:39.640 --> 0:52:41.480
<v Speaker 1>a New York system had to come down. I'll come

0:52:41.520 --> 0:52:44.719
<v Speaker 1>offline because it couldn't handle all the applications. Here's how

0:52:44.760 --> 0:52:46.960
<v Speaker 1>it is in Connecticut. The extra six hundred dollars this

0:52:47.120 --> 0:52:50.240
<v Speaker 1>is from the federal government pushes the highest eligible payout

0:52:50.280 --> 0:52:54.040
<v Speaker 1>to one two hundred and forty nine dollars. But Connecticut's

0:52:54.040 --> 0:52:57.640
<v Speaker 1>computer system was designed to handle only up to three

0:52:57.760 --> 0:53:01.279
<v Speaker 1>digit payments, pushing up the maximum to four digits would

0:53:01.320 --> 0:53:05.440
<v Speaker 1>require reviewing and modifying well over one hundred main frames.

0:53:06.840 --> 0:53:10.279
<v Speaker 1>That's right. Connecticut can't even give people the money that

0:53:10.360 --> 0:53:13.480
<v Speaker 1>they are legally due from the government because the Connecticut

0:53:13.560 --> 0:53:17.120
<v Speaker 1>system is so crappy that it only can process three

0:53:17.239 --> 0:53:21.040
<v Speaker 1>digit claims. So if they want to give you nine

0:53:21.160 --> 0:53:24.759
<v Speaker 1>hundred ninety nine dollars, you're good. But if your unemployment

0:53:24.840 --> 0:53:27.560
<v Speaker 1>check is going to be a thousand dollars, wow, wow,

0:53:28.480 --> 0:53:34.640
<v Speaker 1>too bad. But remember, folks, a massive campaign of consistent,

0:53:34.960 --> 0:53:39.480
<v Speaker 1>accurate testing across the populace that is mandatory. I suppose

0:53:39.520 --> 0:53:40.839
<v Speaker 1>how they're going to get people to do this. Maybe

0:53:40.880 --> 0:53:42.600
<v Speaker 1>people aren't gonna want to take all these tests all

0:53:42.600 --> 0:53:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the time, but put that aside for a moment, and

0:53:44.600 --> 0:53:49.319
<v Speaker 1>then finding finding these people once they're positive, and finding

0:53:49.320 --> 0:53:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the people they've come into contact with, test and trace.

0:53:51.239 --> 0:53:55.399
<v Speaker 1>That's the answer. New York State, state that can't give

0:53:55.440 --> 0:53:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you money that's due you, is going to make sure

0:53:59.680 --> 0:54:02.279
<v Speaker 1>that you know whether or not you've been infected and

0:54:02.320 --> 0:54:04.080
<v Speaker 1>everyone you come into contact with, and do so in

0:54:04.160 --> 0:54:08.719
<v Speaker 1>such a timely fashion that it prevents future outbreaks. I hope,

0:54:08.719 --> 0:54:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm I hope I'm wrong on this one. But I

0:54:10.960 --> 0:54:14.120
<v Speaker 1>don't think so. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson

0:54:14.200 --> 0:54:18.959
<v Speaker 1>Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app,

0:54:19.160 --> 0:54:23.520
<v Speaker 1>or wherever you get your podcasts. I believe her. It's

0:54:23.560 --> 0:54:28.040
<v Speaker 1>obvious not okay. Her story is credible. If I believe

0:54:28.239 --> 0:54:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the women believe her, she is credible, she should be

0:54:31.160 --> 0:54:34.360
<v Speaker 1>heard and send it to treat her with respect and

0:54:34.480 --> 0:54:38.320
<v Speaker 1>dignity that she deserves the honesty, her integrity, her truth.

0:54:38.880 --> 0:54:41.400
<v Speaker 1>It's obvious you should be going to jail if he

0:54:41.520 --> 0:54:46.080
<v Speaker 1>was allowed to be prosecuted today, it's not okay. Do

0:54:46.200 --> 0:54:48.839
<v Speaker 1>you believe the allegation that's been put out there by

0:54:48.960 --> 0:54:53.600
<v Speaker 1>terror read against Biden? Vice President Biden has vehemently denied

0:54:53.800 --> 0:54:57.800
<v Speaker 1>these allegations, and I support Vice President Biden. Do you

0:54:57.920 --> 0:55:02.120
<v Speaker 1>think some of the Democrats who sup Blasi Forward's allegations

0:55:02.120 --> 0:55:05.640
<v Speaker 1>against Kavanaugh, who've been silent on this Biden allegation, do

0:55:05.680 --> 0:55:08.160
<v Speaker 1>you see that as a contradiction that they're not speaking

0:55:08.200 --> 0:55:11.719
<v Speaker 1>out more and addressing terror Reid's allegation. I stand by

0:55:11.880 --> 0:55:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Vice President Biden. He's devoted his life to supporting women,

0:55:16.000 --> 0:55:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and he has vehemently denied this allegation. Kirsen Jillibrand, Senator

0:55:21.160 --> 0:55:24.920
<v Speaker 1>from New York, telling everybody there back during the Kavanaugh error,

0:55:25.040 --> 0:55:28.839
<v Speaker 1>she totally believed Blasi for totally credible. It's great, Oh yeah,

0:55:28.880 --> 0:55:31.080
<v Speaker 1>we believe her. And then when I asked about the

0:55:31.160 --> 0:55:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden accuser, it's I believe Joe Biden. Wait. I

0:55:34.120 --> 0:55:35.920
<v Speaker 1>thought women had a right to be believed. Now it's

0:55:36.000 --> 0:55:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden has a right to be believed. I want

0:55:38.600 --> 0:55:41.560
<v Speaker 1>to bring in Saraje Hashmi from the Washington Examined or

0:55:41.600 --> 0:55:43.719
<v Speaker 1>Two weigh in on this one. Sarage, thanks man, first

0:55:43.760 --> 0:55:46.719
<v Speaker 1>time having you on. Appreciate you having me on. Buck. So,

0:55:47.760 --> 0:55:50.919
<v Speaker 1>I think that this is going to just get worse

0:55:51.000 --> 0:55:54.239
<v Speaker 1>and worse because the New York Times really set set

0:55:54.280 --> 0:55:57.320
<v Speaker 1>the initial tone of this by waiting two weeks and

0:55:57.400 --> 0:56:00.800
<v Speaker 1>then saying, yeah, well, we didn't think that Biden was

0:56:00.840 --> 0:56:03.640
<v Speaker 1>as much a public figure as Kavanaugh, which is just

0:56:04.120 --> 0:56:06.839
<v Speaker 1>a flatly absurd and kind of crazy thing to say.

0:56:07.400 --> 0:56:10.360
<v Speaker 1>And I've seen some efforts to try and claim that

0:56:10.480 --> 0:56:13.320
<v Speaker 1>the double standard here is not as bad as it

0:56:13.400 --> 0:56:18.640
<v Speaker 1>really is. Chris Hayes last night on MSNBC, to his credit,

0:56:19.200 --> 0:56:22.720
<v Speaker 1>brought up the allegations against Joe Biden and now fire

0:56:22.880 --> 0:56:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Chris Hayes is trending on Twitter. What is going on here?

0:56:26.560 --> 0:56:29.799
<v Speaker 1>It's actually incredible to see the double standard at play here.

0:56:30.120 --> 0:56:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Usually when you see things like this, usually you're running

0:56:34.520 --> 0:56:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the mill type of political story. This has to do

0:56:37.920 --> 0:56:44.600
<v Speaker 1>with sexual assault accusations against the presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

0:56:45.040 --> 0:56:48.520
<v Speaker 1>And Kate Kelly, who was the one of the writers

0:56:48.719 --> 0:56:53.239
<v Speaker 1>of the book about Brett Cavanaugh's accusations, works with The

0:56:53.239 --> 0:56:56.840
<v Speaker 1>New York Times. She wrote in a tweet about a

0:56:56.880 --> 0:56:59.480
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago, how there was just a different

0:56:59.560 --> 0:57:02.600
<v Speaker 1>news ugment when they came to Bret Cavanaugh versus Joe Biden.

0:57:02.719 --> 0:57:07.080
<v Speaker 1>And that's why they didn't cover Joe Biden as aggressively

0:57:07.160 --> 0:57:11.600
<v Speaker 1>that they cover Bret Cavanaugh is the presumptive nominee. I mean,

0:57:11.719 --> 0:57:15.680
<v Speaker 1>how how different is that news judgment. It's all become

0:57:15.760 --> 0:57:19.880
<v Speaker 1>a point where it's if your side does it, we

0:57:19.960 --> 0:57:21.960
<v Speaker 1>should just give it an automatic pass. But if the

0:57:22.040 --> 0:57:25.880
<v Speaker 1>other side does, ah, shame on you, naughty boy. Yeah.

0:57:25.920 --> 0:57:28.760
<v Speaker 1>I just would wonder how any journalist who who was

0:57:28.840 --> 0:57:32.040
<v Speaker 1>taking the approach and it's in writing and you can,

0:57:32.200 --> 0:57:34.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, you find the clips online of them going

0:57:34.320 --> 0:57:37.320
<v Speaker 1>on cable news that women have I mean, the phrase

0:57:37.400 --> 0:57:39.240
<v Speaker 1>was women have a right to be believed, and they

0:57:39.280 --> 0:57:42.480
<v Speaker 1>completely believed Blasi Ford. And the standard that they set

0:57:42.560 --> 0:57:45.520
<v Speaker 1>up was that if there's even a doubt about Kavanaugh,

0:57:46.360 --> 0:57:48.240
<v Speaker 1>we should not put him in power. Right, That was

0:57:48.320 --> 0:57:50.000
<v Speaker 1>actually what was being said at the time, and I

0:57:50.080 --> 0:57:54.040
<v Speaker 1>remember I was very involved in that fight. So then

0:57:54.080 --> 0:57:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to know why is now the standard that

0:57:57.320 --> 0:58:01.800
<v Speaker 1>we just believe Joe Biden, because when the allegation against him,

0:58:02.000 --> 0:58:04.520
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing about it that is not credible. I mean,

0:58:04.720 --> 0:58:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I challenge somebody to find where the contradiction is or

0:58:07.840 --> 0:58:11.800
<v Speaker 1>where the absence of essential facts would be. Politics, in short,

0:58:11.920 --> 0:58:14.280
<v Speaker 1>has poisoned the well here and the well being the

0:58:14.400 --> 0:58:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Me too movement. It cannot be escaped. Rose McGowan, who

0:58:18.440 --> 0:58:23.120
<v Speaker 1>actually has been very consistent about her stance on sexual

0:58:23.120 --> 0:58:26.880
<v Speaker 1>assault accusations or any you know, any allegations of the

0:58:27.040 --> 0:58:30.600
<v Speaker 1>sexual misconduct nature, she is actually in a tweet last

0:58:30.680 --> 0:58:34.080
<v Speaker 1>night posted about her kind of dismail and how discourage

0:58:34.120 --> 0:58:37.800
<v Speaker 1>he was to see how she's been a lifelong Democrat

0:58:38.200 --> 0:58:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and all the Democrats are just rallying behind Joe Biden

0:58:41.560 --> 0:58:45.240
<v Speaker 1>in spite of these very well, could be very credible

0:58:45.280 --> 0:58:49.560
<v Speaker 1>accusations of sexual misconduct by Tara Reid against Joe Biden.

0:58:50.000 --> 0:58:52.960
<v Speaker 1>And what we're seeing right now is that you're just

0:58:53.080 --> 0:58:56.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna see the whole METO movement unravel to the point

0:58:56.960 --> 0:58:59.480
<v Speaker 1>where all the good will that was built up will

0:58:59.480 --> 0:59:02.560
<v Speaker 1>be to enough. We're speaking of Saraje Hashmi. He's a

0:59:03.160 --> 0:59:10.800
<v Speaker 1>commentary video expert at the Washington Examiner. Joe Biden hasn't

0:59:10.920 --> 0:59:15.400
<v Speaker 1>responded to this yet. Journalists, it seems, haven't been willing

0:59:15.480 --> 0:59:19.280
<v Speaker 1>to ask him about this yet. Nancy Pelosi has been

0:59:19.600 --> 0:59:21.440
<v Speaker 1>saying that she stands with him, of course, because you know,

0:59:21.560 --> 0:59:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi wants power. You had. Stacy Abrams claimed the

0:59:25.280 --> 0:59:29.439
<v Speaker 1>New York Times effectively exonerated Biden, which is not true.

0:59:29.520 --> 0:59:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Even the Times has said, well, we didn't do that,

0:59:32.360 --> 0:59:34.480
<v Speaker 1>or you know that that was found not credible. They

0:59:34.520 --> 0:59:36.360
<v Speaker 1>did not do that because there's no way to make

0:59:36.400 --> 0:59:39.920
<v Speaker 1>it not credible. So far, when does Biden have to

0:59:40.040 --> 0:59:42.000
<v Speaker 1>get asked about this or do you think it's possible

0:59:42.120 --> 0:59:43.960
<v Speaker 1>that that journalists are just going to try to, you know,

0:59:44.080 --> 0:59:47.080
<v Speaker 1>push this thing aside and ride it out until people

0:59:47.120 --> 0:59:49.040
<v Speaker 1>don't care anymore, which I don't know when that's going

0:59:49.080 --> 0:59:52.440
<v Speaker 1>to be. From what I'm hearing that terror Read is

0:59:52.520 --> 0:59:58.280
<v Speaker 1>strategically making sure that her story is being heard through

0:59:58.360 --> 1:00:02.080
<v Speaker 1>the media. You're yetting get heard by Chris Hayes on MSNBC.

1:00:02.760 --> 1:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Eventually you're starting to hear You're actually starting to see

1:00:05.400 --> 1:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Brian Selter tweet about it. Albeit Brian Felter hasn't really

1:00:08.720 --> 1:00:11.720
<v Speaker 1>been sort of the best arbiter on what the media

1:00:11.760 --> 1:00:14.439
<v Speaker 1>should be covering and should not be covering. I'm hearing

1:00:14.560 --> 1:00:17.439
<v Speaker 1>from Ben Smith the New York Times, who's a media

1:00:17.520 --> 1:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>reporter who's previously with bugs feeds that Tara Rita is

1:00:20.800 --> 1:00:24.680
<v Speaker 1>in discussions with Foxes to join Chris Wallace's show on Sunday.

1:00:25.360 --> 1:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>We'll see what happens with that, because there's a good

1:00:27.680 --> 1:00:30.400
<v Speaker 1>chance that if she ends up becoming sort of a

1:00:31.080 --> 1:00:35.920
<v Speaker 1>staple within conservative media, then there's almost the immediate the

1:00:36.040 --> 1:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>immediate backlash to that would be, Look, she's a she's

1:00:39.440 --> 1:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>a plot of the conservative media's plot with the Republican

1:00:43.000 --> 1:00:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Party to try to destroy Joe Biden. Therefore her accusations

1:00:46.880 --> 1:00:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the sexual misconduct should be thrown out. So there's a

1:00:50.720 --> 1:00:53.160
<v Speaker 1>very there's a balancing actually has to play right now,

1:00:53.680 --> 1:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and it all it really depends on who she speaks

1:00:57.160 --> 1:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>with and what she says. But the corroboration from Lynda

1:01:00.720 --> 1:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Lecass earlier this week, certainly there's a lot more than

1:01:03.840 --> 1:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>what we've seen from Christine Blogge accord against Brett Kavanaugh.

1:01:07.200 --> 1:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>And do you think that the pressure on some of

1:01:09.880 --> 1:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the journalists out there to push Biden on this will

1:01:13.280 --> 1:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>become too much? Because right now I mean meaning that

1:01:16.840 --> 1:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>that he has to actually answer for this. I would

1:01:19.000 --> 1:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>also just say, and this is an aside, this is

1:01:21.000 --> 1:01:25.320
<v Speaker 1>my opinions as a guy. If someone saying this about you,

1:01:25.600 --> 1:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what the circumstances are. If it's not true.

1:01:29.160 --> 1:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I think you say this is not true, this did

1:01:31.600 --> 1:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>not happen. I don't think you allow your campaign to

1:01:34.720 --> 1:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>do that for you. I think that's weird. But that's

1:01:37.400 --> 1:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>my opinion. But what do you think about the journalists

1:01:39.600 --> 1:01:42.320
<v Speaker 1>out there who have access to Biden who have yet

1:01:42.320 --> 1:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>to ask him about this. That's the thing I think

1:01:45.480 --> 1:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a good question to ask, is when it comes

1:01:48.440 --> 1:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>to journalists having access to Joe Biden is asking the

1:01:52.920 --> 1:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>question about Tara Reid's accusation going to jeopardize their access

1:01:58.040 --> 1:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>to the Democratic nominee. And I think for a lot

1:02:01.600 --> 1:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>of reporters that's always been a fine line that they've

1:02:04.840 --> 1:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>had to try to balance. Here. I think what we've

1:02:08.800 --> 1:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>seen in the last week, in the last few days,

1:02:11.320 --> 1:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>is that the amount of evidence or an amount of

1:02:15.440 --> 1:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>people talking about Tara Reid is going to become so

1:02:18.160 --> 1:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>great that the mainstream media, that the main outlets, you know, CBS, NBC, MSNBC,

1:02:27.200 --> 1:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>ABC and Fox News and CNN, they have to cover it.

1:02:31.040 --> 1:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>It's too big of a story to ignore, and that

1:02:33.920 --> 1:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>that's what you got to just keep talking about it,

1:02:36.520 --> 1:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and Tara Reid has to continue to tell her story

1:02:38.960 --> 1:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>and try to tell it as much as he possibly can,

1:02:41.680 --> 1:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>but at the same time not get lost in the

1:02:44.360 --> 1:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>woods of being trying to become herself a media start

1:02:47.920 --> 1:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>because sometimes victims use Unfortunately, there's some victims out there

1:02:53.760 --> 1:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>who use their story to sort of launch a career

1:02:56.480 --> 1:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>in and of themselves, and I don't think Tarah Reid

1:02:58.960 --> 1:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>is one of those types of Saraj Hashman of The

1:03:01.760 --> 1:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Washington Examiner, Saras, thanks so much for your time and

1:03:03.880 --> 1:03:06.040
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk to you soon. Thank you so much. Buck,

1:03:08.880 --> 1:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton

1:03:11.920 --> 1:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Show podcast. And finally, we need to ensure that women

1:03:18.400 --> 1:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>have access to all health services during this crisis. Abortion

1:03:22.240 --> 1:03:25.640
<v Speaker 1>is the essential healthcare service. It's being used as a

1:03:25.760 --> 1:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>political wedge right now, and it shouldn't be. The American

1:03:29.600 --> 1:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>College of Obstetricians and kind Ecologists in the American Medical

1:03:32.880 --> 1:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Association degree that it shouldn't be categorized as a procedure

1:03:37.040 --> 1:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>that can be delayed. It can't. I know that there's

1:03:40.040 --> 1:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the huge political double standard that we often talk about

1:03:43.040 --> 1:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to me too, but let's also remember

1:03:45.720 --> 1:03:48.440
<v Speaker 1>that there's always when it comes to any issues involving

1:03:49.240 --> 1:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>women and how the left will treat people. If you

1:03:52.760 --> 1:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>are pro life, they will try to destroy you and

1:03:56.080 --> 1:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>you get no benefit of the doubt. You get no,

1:04:00.080 --> 1:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>no second chance, nothing. If you are pro choice, you're

1:04:04.680 --> 1:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>always going to be in a better category. I'm not

1:04:06.880 --> 1:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>saying that it's a get out of jail free card,

1:04:08.800 --> 1:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's always going to be a better category

1:04:10.760 --> 1:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>for you. And obviously, if you're a Democrat in your

1:04:12.320 --> 1:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>pro choice and you're important to the movement, well then

1:04:14.920 --> 1:04:17.200
<v Speaker 1>you're Joe Biden. And then you know, look, he's going

1:04:17.240 --> 1:04:19.280
<v Speaker 1>to get a pass on this. There's no chance in

1:04:19.400 --> 1:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>my mind that Joe Biden is going to be held

1:04:24.040 --> 1:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>to account on this. What is perhaps perhaps still lingering

1:04:29.720 --> 1:04:32.320
<v Speaker 1>in the back of some people's minds, maybe it's just

1:04:32.440 --> 1:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>my mind, is that a certain someone doesn't think that

1:04:36.480 --> 1:04:38.280
<v Speaker 1>this whole thing is totally over yet in terms of

1:04:38.320 --> 1:04:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the nomination and who the Democrat nominee is going to be.

1:04:42.880 --> 1:04:48.240
<v Speaker 1>There's someone out there who never says that it's all over,

1:04:48.560 --> 1:04:52.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, never says it, never says that it's time

1:04:52.200 --> 1:04:56.440
<v Speaker 1>to pack it in. There's you know, the unexpected can happen.

1:04:56.680 --> 1:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, things can just all of a sudden change

1:05:01.320 --> 1:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>in your favor. You know, Epstein could no longer be

1:05:05.440 --> 1:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>a problem in How did that happen? Right? I mean,

1:05:08.600 --> 1:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, things all of a sudden just change. You

1:05:11.720 --> 1:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>have a crazy circumstance that breaks in your in your direction,

1:05:16.640 --> 1:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>and you get to be the nominee who's thinking in

1:05:19.520 --> 1:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>those terms, who's thinking about you know, maybe Biden is

1:05:23.560 --> 1:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a you know, has a health issue, a real health issue,

1:05:26.760 --> 1:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>which I think we all see happening in real time anyway,

1:05:29.880 --> 1:05:33.600
<v Speaker 1>But you never know what's gonna happen when the Clintons

1:05:34.040 --> 1:05:36.280
<v Speaker 1>are in the background. You never know how things are

1:05:36.320 --> 1:05:39.919
<v Speaker 1>going to go. Here's Hillary talking about what she thinks

1:05:40.000 --> 1:05:42.959
<v Speaker 1>is going on here play one. This is a high

1:05:43.120 --> 1:05:47.040
<v Speaker 1>stakes time because of the pandemic, but this is also

1:05:47.240 --> 1:05:52.160
<v Speaker 1>a really high stakes election. And every form of healthcare

1:05:52.280 --> 1:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>should continue to be available in pluting reproductive healthcare for

1:05:57.800 --> 1:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>every woman in this country, and then it needs to

1:06:01.840 --> 1:06:05.200
<v Speaker 1>be part of a much larger system than eventually and

1:06:05.520 --> 1:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>quickly I hope gets us to universal healthcare. So I

1:06:10.640 --> 1:06:14.920
<v Speaker 1>can only say amen to everything you're saying, but also

1:06:15.040 --> 1:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to again enlist people that this would be a terrible

1:06:18.640 --> 1:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>crisis to waste. As the old saying goes, we've learned

1:06:21.760 --> 1:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot about what our absolute frailties are in our

1:06:27.680 --> 1:06:30.920
<v Speaker 1>country when it comes to health justice and economic justice.

1:06:31.280 --> 1:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>So you know, let's be resolved that we're going to

1:06:33.840 --> 1:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>solve those once you're elected president. I promise you that's

1:06:37.680 --> 1:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be my objective. M Yeah, you better better be

1:06:41.720 --> 1:06:44.040
<v Speaker 1>your objective. Joke, because Hilary doesn't sound like somebody who

1:06:44.120 --> 1:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>just has some helpful ideas, does she. She's in the

1:06:47.080 --> 1:06:51.840
<v Speaker 1>background of how she's still there, wondering when it will

1:06:51.840 --> 1:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>be her time round three third time to charm she

1:06:54.720 --> 1:06:58.520
<v Speaker 1>tried twice. Want to give her a third goal. I'm

1:06:58.560 --> 1:07:01.080
<v Speaker 1>not going to give up until there's somebody else on

1:07:01.240 --> 1:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>election day on the Democrat ballot. I'm not gonna say

1:07:04.720 --> 1:07:07.200
<v Speaker 1>that it's all it's all over. I'm just I'm sorry.

1:07:08.000 --> 1:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>The Clintons. There is something truly you almost respect the malevolence.

1:07:14.320 --> 1:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, you almost have to say to yourself, it's

1:07:17.680 --> 1:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>amazing what they're able to, what they've been able to endure,

1:07:21.600 --> 1:07:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and they just stick and they're so shameless and so

1:07:24.680 --> 1:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>reckless and oh my gosh, really, you couldn't write better

1:07:28.720 --> 1:07:31.200
<v Speaker 1>political villains in some ways than the Clintons. They're they're

1:07:31.280 --> 1:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>really in a class by themselves. Oh you know, I

1:07:34.040 --> 1:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>mentioned climate change the other day, and if you want

1:07:37.880 --> 1:07:40.240
<v Speaker 1>to know how much the science is really driving the

1:07:40.280 --> 1:07:45.960
<v Speaker 1>discussion now, the the climatologist in chief, the world's most

1:07:46.040 --> 1:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>famous climate change advocate, is now appearing in New York

1:07:49.760 --> 1:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>City Department of Education videos telling us to listen to

1:07:53.560 --> 1:07:58.600
<v Speaker 1>the science on coronavirus. As if this wasn't politicized enough

1:07:58.720 --> 1:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>by people who don't know what the heck they're talking about.

1:08:02.240 --> 1:08:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Here she is, you know, I'm talking about Greta Thunberg

1:08:06.760 --> 1:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>play six. Listened to science and listen to the experts,

1:08:12.280 --> 1:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and that of course not only goes for the Corona crisis,

1:08:16.120 --> 1:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>but also all crises, for example, the climate crisis and

1:08:21.160 --> 1:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>the ecological crisis, which of course is still ongoing. Yes,

1:08:26.880 --> 1:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>got to tie those things together. Listen to the scientists.

1:08:30.439 --> 1:08:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Gretafortelli's listening to the scientists. What are the

1:08:33.200 --> 1:08:36.720
<v Speaker 1>scientists telling us about how we reopen our society and

1:08:37.040 --> 1:08:39.160
<v Speaker 1>how we go back to life? Oh you mean that's

1:08:39.200 --> 1:08:42.639
<v Speaker 1>not a scientific question, that's a societal question. That's something

1:08:42.680 --> 1:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>that we have to just. I just it's amazing, isn't it.

1:08:45.479 --> 1:08:48.479
<v Speaker 1>They still they have I think she's sixteen or seventeen.

1:08:48.560 --> 1:08:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Now you can't. You can't make fun of her until

1:08:51.240 --> 1:08:55.200
<v Speaker 1>she's eighteen. Then you're allowed. I think technically you're allowed,

1:08:55.200 --> 1:08:57.439
<v Speaker 1>because then she's an adult. Then I think you're allowed.

1:08:57.479 --> 1:09:00.160
<v Speaker 1>And she's being her opinion is being foisted upon. She's

1:09:00.200 --> 1:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>not a private citizen, she's not somebody who's just trying

1:09:02.040 --> 1:09:03.200
<v Speaker 1>to live her life. You know, we don't make fun

1:09:03.240 --> 1:09:05.280
<v Speaker 1>of private citizens who are just trying to go about

1:09:05.280 --> 1:09:09.439
<v Speaker 1>their business. But for now, it's Oh, she's a kid,

1:09:09.560 --> 1:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>but we should all listen to her. It's one of

1:09:12.080 --> 1:09:14.439
<v Speaker 1>the more amazing, one of the more amazing disconnects that

1:09:14.439 --> 1:09:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I've seen among lives, and there's a lot of them.

1:09:16.000 --> 1:09:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Right we're talking about their disconnect with justice over the

1:09:19.960 --> 1:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>general Flint case. They're disconnected over the double standard that

1:09:23.320 --> 1:09:27.680
<v Speaker 1>so slap you in the face obvious about this Joe

1:09:27.760 --> 1:09:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Biden situation versus Kavanaugh, and even some of what they

1:09:31.120 --> 1:09:34.200
<v Speaker 1>said about Trump, although to this day, what was what's

1:09:34.240 --> 1:09:37.280
<v Speaker 1>the credible People have always said that Trump sexually assaults people?

1:09:37.560 --> 1:09:40.599
<v Speaker 1>Liberals will say this, what's the credible sexual assault allegation?

1:09:40.680 --> 1:09:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Again from whom and in what circumstance? Oh, he said

1:09:44.840 --> 1:09:47.759
<v Speaker 1>that they let you grab. Okay, well, he's just talking

1:09:47.800 --> 1:09:50.800
<v Speaker 1>about being a celebrity who can be aggressive sexually with

1:09:50.920 --> 1:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>women who let him do that. That's not sexual assault.

1:09:54.760 --> 1:09:58.360
<v Speaker 1>What exactly is the you know you hear this? It's

1:09:58.400 --> 1:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>thrown around all there's you know all I've heard numbers,

1:10:00.960 --> 1:10:03.200
<v Speaker 1>two large numbers they say of women that say, oh, well,

1:10:03.200 --> 1:10:07.720
<v Speaker 1>it turns out that there isn't one, is there? But

1:10:08.720 --> 1:10:10.760
<v Speaker 1>the media reported on it. Oh there was that. The

1:10:10.840 --> 1:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>one woman who wrote the book and then went on TV,

1:10:13.400 --> 1:10:16.960
<v Speaker 1>and everyone realized that she's emotionally unwell, and then they

1:10:17.080 --> 1:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>dropped that right then, they dropped that situation pretty quickly.

1:10:21.680 --> 1:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>But we keep seeing this the the double standards that

1:10:25.360 --> 1:10:29.439
<v Speaker 1>are really a necessity for liberalism in the current context

1:10:29.560 --> 1:10:32.639
<v Speaker 1>because it's so desperate for power all the time, Because

1:10:32.680 --> 1:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>that really is the psychology and the magne collective emotion

1:10:36.560 --> 1:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>and emotional and psychological state of contemporary liberalism is a

1:10:41.880 --> 1:10:45.519
<v Speaker 1>constant relativism in search of power and authority over others.

1:10:46.280 --> 1:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>That's that's really what it is. That's if you if

1:10:48.960 --> 1:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>you boil it down, if you take it at its core,

1:10:51.520 --> 1:10:52.800
<v Speaker 1>and that means that there's going to be a lot

1:10:52.800 --> 1:10:54.240
<v Speaker 1>of double standard there's going to be a lot of

1:10:55.160 --> 1:10:57.920
<v Speaker 1>shifting goal posts, and we see a lot we see

1:10:57.960 --> 1:11:00.040
<v Speaker 1>that happening right now. Oh, we got my friend and

1:11:00.200 --> 1:11:02.599

<v Speaker 1>radio spots. So Porter, great to have you on. Great

1:11:58.120 --> 1:11:59.960
<v Speaker 1>with you as always, Budd. All right, let's just start.

1:12:00.080 --> 1:12:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Were this thirty million roughly unemployed officially unemployed at this point,

1:12:05.240 --> 1:12:08.680
<v Speaker 1>that's that's pretty much where the number is. What is

1:12:08.720 --> 1:12:10.800
<v Speaker 1>going on right now at the US economy? And how

1:12:10.920 --> 1:12:14.800
<v Speaker 1>concerned are you about what's happening? I'm I think I'm

1:12:14.880 --> 1:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>probably among the least concerned people who look at the

1:12:19.280 --> 1:12:22.599
<v Speaker 1>numbers and things, because you know, if you just look

1:12:22.640 --> 1:12:25.080
<v Speaker 1>at the numbers. I think you're really going to be

1:12:25.200 --> 1:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>led astray. If we had had thirty million people unemployed

1:12:29.600 --> 1:12:33.160
<v Speaker 1>because there was a real estate bubble, or because there

1:12:33.280 --> 1:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>was a collapse of industrial demand, or you know, a

1:12:37.400 --> 1:12:39.920
<v Speaker 1>trade war with China that had really spun out of control.

1:12:40.760 --> 1:12:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a far different circumstance than saying, hey,

1:12:43.439 --> 1:12:46.040
<v Speaker 1>guess what when nobody can go out to eat, When

1:12:46.080 --> 1:12:49.960
<v Speaker 1>nobody can go shopping, every single person who's employed in restaurants,

1:12:50.080 --> 1:12:52.960
<v Speaker 1>food service, or retail is going to lose their jobs.

1:12:53.760 --> 1:12:57.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's what's happened. So I think the more important question,

1:12:58.040 --> 1:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>and the unknown question, is what will happen in six

1:13:00.360 --> 1:13:02.920
<v Speaker 1>months from now with that number. And if the answer

1:13:03.080 --> 1:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>is that number drops from thirty million to ten million,

1:13:06.360 --> 1:13:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I think our economy is going to be just fine.

1:13:08.760 --> 1:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>If the answer is the FED keeps spending tons and

1:13:13.080 --> 1:13:16.639
<v Speaker 1>tons and tons of borrowed money and makes unemployment checks

1:13:16.760 --> 1:13:18.840
<v Speaker 1>very attractive and people don't want to go back to work,

1:13:19.280 --> 1:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>then welcome to permanent socialism in America. And I think

1:13:23.960 --> 1:13:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the bigger risk is that the bigger risk to me

1:13:28.040 --> 1:13:31.719
<v Speaker 1>is not economic. The bigger risk is political. What happens

1:13:31.760 --> 1:13:35.080
<v Speaker 1>in the future because of how much power the government

1:13:35.200 --> 1:13:38.000
<v Speaker 1>is exercising now and the role that it has taken

1:13:38.040 --> 1:13:41.519
<v Speaker 1>to play in the lives of millions and millions of citizens.

1:13:42.240 --> 1:13:45.639
<v Speaker 1>What about some of the major industries, and some industries

1:13:45.720 --> 1:13:48.560
<v Speaker 1>really people think of as just either one company or

1:13:48.640 --> 1:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>a handful of companies, or the airline industry, for example,

1:13:52.040 --> 1:13:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the aerospason defense sector with Boeing. What's going to happen

1:13:56.360 --> 1:14:00.200
<v Speaker 1>to those to those different sectors of the econom me

1:14:00.479 --> 1:14:03.080
<v Speaker 1>for which tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of jobs

1:14:03.160 --> 1:14:06.679
<v Speaker 1>are dependent. How do you see that playing out, certainly

1:14:06.720 --> 1:14:09.040
<v Speaker 1>over the next six months. You know, I'm in the

1:14:09.120 --> 1:14:13.120
<v Speaker 1>camp buck that that really sees the economy coming roaring back.

1:14:15.040 --> 1:14:17.479
<v Speaker 1>The steps that the government has taken in terms of

1:14:17.640 --> 1:14:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the amount of money they're pushing into the economy is

1:14:21.640 --> 1:14:24.760
<v Speaker 1>really incredible. I mean, there's this is a this is

1:14:24.800 --> 1:14:27.799
<v Speaker 1>going to end up being a multi trillion dollars stimulus package,

1:14:28.640 --> 1:14:31.599
<v Speaker 1>and I know that that there will be enormous amounts

1:14:31.640 --> 1:14:34.360
<v Speaker 1>of pent up demand as a result. I mean, people

1:14:34.400 --> 1:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>haven't been able to leave their homes now and more

1:14:37.040 --> 1:14:39.320
<v Speaker 1>than thirty days in my case, it's been about sixty days.

1:14:40.000 --> 1:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>And you know, everyone's booking travel, everyone's making plans for

1:14:44.200 --> 1:14:46.080
<v Speaker 1>the summer in the fall. Everyone wants to get back

1:14:46.120 --> 1:14:50.160
<v Speaker 1>to life. And so I think that you're you know again,

1:14:50.880 --> 1:14:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I really do believe that the economy will come back

1:14:53.360 --> 1:14:56.679
<v Speaker 1>very very quickly. I'm very bullish on the second half

1:14:56.720 --> 1:14:59.719
<v Speaker 1>of this year. And I think this is just an opinion.

1:14:59.760 --> 1:15:02.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm obviously not a medical doctor, but I think

1:15:02.520 --> 1:15:05.960
<v Speaker 1>that the response to the virus has been what's caused

1:15:06.000 --> 1:15:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the bigger problem. Um, you know, it's not unusual for

1:15:09.920 --> 1:15:12.720
<v Speaker 1>sixty to eighty thousand people a year to die of

1:15:13.400 --> 1:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>flu and pneumonia, So so you think this was I

1:15:17.080 --> 1:15:19.439
<v Speaker 1>think you think this was an overreaction for her. That's

1:15:19.520 --> 1:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, from a policy standpoint, I think that's the

1:15:22.280 --> 1:15:25.360
<v Speaker 1>bigger story here. Frankly, I honestly believe, but that the

1:15:25.439 --> 1:15:28.560
<v Speaker 1>economy will be just fine. Uh. You know, when you

1:15:29.040 --> 1:15:31.760
<v Speaker 1>there's a I see there's a giant different tree and

1:15:31.840 --> 1:15:36.720
<v Speaker 1>hitting a pause button and seeing things like a real

1:15:36.840 --> 1:15:40.040
<v Speaker 1>decline in consumer demand or seeing a rise in bankruptcy

1:15:40.160 --> 1:15:43.280
<v Speaker 1>that was organic, you know, this is a very very

1:15:43.439 --> 1:15:46.160
<v Speaker 1>very different kind of recession that we're having. It's it's

1:15:46.240 --> 1:15:50.680
<v Speaker 1>not organic, it's not it's not basing economics. It's completely

1:15:50.800 --> 1:15:54.519
<v Speaker 1>a political problem. And I truly believe that when you

1:15:54.640 --> 1:15:59.120
<v Speaker 1>allow the politicians to run over the constitution and to

1:15:59.560 --> 1:16:02.840
<v Speaker 1>decide for every individual how much risk they should take

1:16:02.920 --> 1:16:05.640
<v Speaker 1>with their own health, you've lost something that's way more

1:16:05.680 --> 1:16:08.600
<v Speaker 1>important than money. You've lost liberty. You've lost freedom. And

1:16:09.000 --> 1:16:11.960
<v Speaker 1>again that's my concern. The government's going to print up

1:16:11.960 --> 1:16:13.519
<v Speaker 1>a ton of money. We're going to get through this

1:16:13.640 --> 1:16:15.920
<v Speaker 1>bump in the road. The economy is going to curboring back,

1:16:16.080 --> 1:16:19.000
<v Speaker 1>employment's going to surge in the third quarter of this year.

1:16:19.360 --> 1:16:22.839
<v Speaker 1>Those things are very obvious to me. What isn't obvious

1:16:23.000 --> 1:16:26.919
<v Speaker 1>is how long the government's going to going to accligate

1:16:26.960 --> 1:16:32.400
<v Speaker 1>dictatorship and when will, if ever, will the government admit

1:16:32.680 --> 1:16:35.439
<v Speaker 1>that a lot of the strategies that they have used

1:16:35.479 --> 1:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>over the past two months were enormously expensive and completely

1:16:39.880 --> 1:16:42.920
<v Speaker 1>medically unnecessary. You know, there's been some great work that's

1:16:42.960 --> 1:16:46.280
<v Speaker 1>come out that shows how much more widespread the virus

1:16:46.680 --> 1:16:49.560
<v Speaker 1>has become, how many people didn't have any symptoms, and

1:16:50.000 --> 1:16:54.280
<v Speaker 1>what role obesity and other health problems have played, and

1:16:54.439 --> 1:16:58.439
<v Speaker 1>the fact that this virus is fatal in some cases.

1:16:58.920 --> 1:17:00.639
<v Speaker 1>But I bet you by the time I'm the data

1:17:00.760 --> 1:17:04.840
<v Speaker 1>comes in that we will discover that this coronavirus is

1:17:05.000 --> 1:17:09.240
<v Speaker 1>no different or more dangerous than any other coronavirus that

1:17:09.439 --> 1:17:13.160
<v Speaker 1>typically circulates among human beings. What was bad about it

1:17:13.280 --> 1:17:15.840
<v Speaker 1>was that nobody had any native immunity, and so a

1:17:15.920 --> 1:17:17.840
<v Speaker 1>whole lot of people got sick at the same time.

1:17:18.040 --> 1:17:20.840
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, that's a big problem. It is, But it

1:17:20.960 --> 1:17:23.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean that I'm going to die if I leave

1:17:23.400 --> 1:17:26.920
<v Speaker 1>my house and catch this virus. If you're under the

1:17:26.960 --> 1:17:29.479
<v Speaker 1>age of fifty, if you're in reasonably good at health,

1:17:29.520 --> 1:17:31.320
<v Speaker 1>you really don't have any to worry about. So why

1:17:31.320 --> 1:17:33.400
<v Speaker 1>should the government tell me I can't leave my home?

1:17:33.640 --> 1:17:36.000
<v Speaker 1>It makes no sense. And who is a better Who

1:17:36.160 --> 1:17:38.639
<v Speaker 1>is a better judge of that, Me and my doctor

1:17:39.240 --> 1:17:41.639
<v Speaker 1>or the governor of my state. I mean, I think

1:17:41.680 --> 1:17:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the answer to so obvious that this is such an

1:17:45.320 --> 1:17:49.720
<v Speaker 1>unbelievable overreaction that I think is the bigger issue. Can

1:17:50.360 --> 1:17:55.120
<v Speaker 1>our government ever really look back at these measures and

1:17:55.520 --> 1:17:59.320
<v Speaker 1>do a better job next time, Because my big concern

1:17:59.560 --> 1:18:02.200
<v Speaker 1>is is not that the economy can't come back. My

1:18:02.320 --> 1:18:05.200
<v Speaker 1>big concern is that there will be a change in

1:18:05.320 --> 1:18:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the political dynamics. There will be winners and losers from

1:18:08.800 --> 1:18:11.320
<v Speaker 1>these measures, and the people who are winners from these

1:18:11.360 --> 1:18:13.880
<v Speaker 1>measures are going to insist on taking them again. We've

1:18:13.880 --> 1:18:16.120
<v Speaker 1>already started to see, you've already started to see some

1:18:16.200 --> 1:18:20.479
<v Speaker 1>of the prominent Democrat politicians are letting it out that

1:18:20.600 --> 1:18:24.360
<v Speaker 1>they view this as an opportunity to change things dramatically

1:18:24.400 --> 1:18:26.559
<v Speaker 1>in this country, not just while the virus is out

1:18:26.600 --> 1:18:28.519
<v Speaker 1>there and to get us back on our feet, but

1:18:28.680 --> 1:18:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to change things for the foreseeable, to alter the course

1:18:32.320 --> 1:18:35.679
<v Speaker 1>of America economically and politically. I'm assuming you've you've seen

1:18:35.800 --> 1:18:39.040
<v Speaker 1>some of those early indicators too. Yeah, of course, And listen,

1:18:39.080 --> 1:18:41.680
<v Speaker 1>there's plenty of real world examples. There are plenty of

1:18:41.800 --> 1:18:45.360
<v Speaker 1>places that didn't shut down their economy. You know, there's Japan,

1:18:45.520 --> 1:18:49.120
<v Speaker 1>there's Singapore, there's Sweden, there's Iceland. There's plenty of places

1:18:49.200 --> 1:18:52.040
<v Speaker 1>that handle this in a different way. And we're not

1:18:52.200 --> 1:18:55.000
<v Speaker 1>going to see any additional mortality in those other places.

1:18:55.120 --> 1:18:58.280
<v Speaker 1>We are not going to see that because this virus

1:18:58.560 --> 1:19:01.880
<v Speaker 1>is not fatal to one who's in relatively good health.

1:19:02.600 --> 1:19:04.680
<v Speaker 1>And if you look at the numbers of people who

1:19:04.760 --> 1:19:07.519
<v Speaker 1>have died, what percentage of them we're already in nursing homes.

1:19:07.840 --> 1:19:11.479
<v Speaker 1>It's like twenty five and you know, I'm sorry, but

1:19:11.600 --> 1:19:14.000
<v Speaker 1>those people were out the door anyways. They weren't going

1:19:14.080 --> 1:19:16.280
<v Speaker 1>to stay with us no matter what. They would have

1:19:16.400 --> 1:19:19.680
<v Speaker 1>died from a regular virus, they would have died from pneumonia.

1:19:19.760 --> 1:19:22.240
<v Speaker 1>They would have died because they're old and sick. And

1:19:22.400 --> 1:19:25.720
<v Speaker 1>that's tragic. But it doesn't it doesn't mean that we

1:19:25.720 --> 1:19:28.080
<v Speaker 1>should all give up our liberties and our businesses and

1:19:28.200 --> 1:19:30.840
<v Speaker 1>our and our our freedom. It makes no sense. Have

1:19:30.960 --> 1:19:33.240
<v Speaker 1>you been. And if they can do if they can

1:19:33.360 --> 1:19:37.479
<v Speaker 1>do this for a for a blue virus, then what

1:19:37.680 --> 1:19:40.560
<v Speaker 1>are they gonna What is going to trigger them to

1:19:40.640 --> 1:19:43.320
<v Speaker 1>do this next time? You know? Oh my gosh, there's

1:19:43.320 --> 1:19:47.679
<v Speaker 1>a risk of an earthquake. The scientists say an earthquake

1:19:47.800 --> 1:19:50.360
<v Speaker 1>is coming, No one leave their homes or whatever whatever

1:19:50.439 --> 1:19:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the next pretext will be. And one more thing about

1:19:53.360 --> 1:19:56.519
<v Speaker 1>about this. Think about the Battle of Britain. You know,

1:19:56.640 --> 1:20:00.479
<v Speaker 1>back in the spring of forty one and the fall

1:20:00.560 --> 1:20:04.960
<v Speaker 1>of nineteen forty, when you had Germans killing thousands of

1:20:05.120 --> 1:20:09.160
<v Speaker 1>people every week with bombs. Right, this is a real

1:20:09.320 --> 1:20:13.960
<v Speaker 1>threat to a country. Did the government of Great Britain

1:20:14.479 --> 1:20:17.679
<v Speaker 1>mandate that everyone live in their basements all day long

1:20:17.720 --> 1:20:19.840
<v Speaker 1>and not leaving the house because there was a real

1:20:19.960 --> 1:20:22.000
<v Speaker 1>risk if you're walking around in the street, you're gonna die.

1:20:22.400 --> 1:20:24.720
<v Speaker 1>In fact, it's happening to thousands of people every day,

1:20:25.080 --> 1:20:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's not from a virus, it's from bombs. But

1:20:27.960 --> 1:20:29.519
<v Speaker 1>what do they what did they do? How did they

1:20:29.640 --> 1:20:34.200
<v Speaker 1>what happened in that situation? Everyone went to work, everyone

1:20:34.360 --> 1:20:37.600
<v Speaker 1>went out to dinner. Everyone ignored it because there was

1:20:37.680 --> 1:20:41.040
<v Speaker 1>nothing they could do about it except live their regular lives.

1:20:41.400 --> 1:20:43.360
<v Speaker 1>And that's what we should have done from the start.

1:20:44.000 --> 1:20:46.439
<v Speaker 1>And you know, if we had, then there would already

1:20:46.479 --> 1:20:49.800
<v Speaker 1>be her immunity. There's probably something between fifteen and thirty

1:20:49.880 --> 1:20:52.559
<v Speaker 1>percent of people in urban areas that have already gotten

1:20:52.560 --> 1:20:56.800
<v Speaker 1>as virus. You know, they're not gonna We're not gonnall die.

1:20:57.320 --> 1:20:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Let us go back to work. It's the biggest overreaction.

1:21:00.479 --> 1:21:03.240
<v Speaker 1>And so then the real question is why who was

1:21:03.360 --> 1:21:06.400
<v Speaker 1>winning politically by locking everyone in their homes? This is

1:21:06.400 --> 1:21:08.120
<v Speaker 1>what I was going to ask you, So take that away.

1:21:08.200 --> 1:21:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think this has happened? I really can't fathom.

1:21:11.760 --> 1:21:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I just I think there are probably plenty of politicians

1:21:14.720 --> 1:21:17.679
<v Speaker 1>who were scared and we're afraid that if they didn't

1:21:17.720 --> 1:21:21.800
<v Speaker 1>do quote something, then if there was a bunch of

1:21:22.080 --> 1:21:25.160
<v Speaker 1>mortality associated with this pandemic, that they would be seen

1:21:25.280 --> 1:21:29.639
<v Speaker 1>in history as you know, uncaring fools. So I think

1:21:29.680 --> 1:21:33.560
<v Speaker 1>there's always the preset tendency is the government has to

1:21:33.640 --> 1:21:37.640
<v Speaker 1>do something to justify, you know, its existence, and so

1:21:37.800 --> 1:21:41.639
<v Speaker 1>they're probably going to error always on doing quote unquote something.

1:21:42.320 --> 1:21:44.599
<v Speaker 1>But how crazy is it that they would that they

1:21:44.640 --> 1:21:52.560
<v Speaker 1>would mandate this extreme reaction when they didn't even have data, like,

1:21:52.680 --> 1:21:56.040
<v Speaker 1>at the very least take a random sample of population,

1:21:56.280 --> 1:22:00.280
<v Speaker 1>understand what the viral impact has already been. And the

1:22:00.360 --> 1:22:02.160
<v Speaker 1>models were wrong, as we know now. But they tell

1:22:02.240 --> 1:22:04.839
<v Speaker 1>us that the models that were used to justify the shutdown,

1:22:04.920 --> 1:22:06.880
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter that they were wrong. That's that's the

1:22:07.000 --> 1:22:09.080
<v Speaker 1>latest theory that we're all supposed to live under. Porter,

1:22:09.160 --> 1:22:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I need, I need to take a quick pause here,

1:22:10.680 --> 1:22:12.120
<v Speaker 1>will come right back with you. I want to ask

1:22:12.479 --> 1:22:15.680
<v Speaker 1>about what should folks that are being hit economically right

1:22:15.760 --> 1:22:17.760
<v Speaker 1>now by this, what should they be thinking about? What

1:22:17.840 --> 1:22:21.200
<v Speaker 1>should they be doing? Founder of Stansbury Research, Porter Stansbury.

1:22:21.240 --> 1:22:22.759
<v Speaker 1>More with him when we come back in a second.

1:22:25.400 --> 1:22:28.400
<v Speaker 1>You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton

1:22:28.439 --> 1:22:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Show podcast Okay, we've got the founder of Stansbury Research,

1:22:35.880 --> 1:22:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the one and only mister Porter Stansbury with us. So, Porter,

1:22:39.040 --> 1:22:42.200
<v Speaker 1>you're you're bullish for the long term here for America.

1:22:42.360 --> 1:22:44.120
<v Speaker 1>You were saying before you think that we will be

1:22:44.160 --> 1:22:46.320
<v Speaker 1>able to bounce back, which I think is honestly really

1:22:46.439 --> 1:22:49.320
<v Speaker 1>encouraging to the people all across the country who are

1:22:49.360 --> 1:22:51.120
<v Speaker 1>listening to this. But I want to ask you though,

1:22:51.160 --> 1:22:53.960
<v Speaker 1>in the in the short term, for folks who are

1:22:54.200 --> 1:22:58.080
<v Speaker 1>either hurting badly economically or who want to get prepared, Well,

1:22:58.160 --> 1:23:00.240
<v Speaker 1>let's start with the folks who were hurting. What would

1:23:00.240 --> 1:23:02.160
<v Speaker 1>you do or how would you advise someone who's operating

1:23:02.160 --> 1:23:04.760
<v Speaker 1>a small business right now? Would you tell them I'm

1:23:04.760 --> 1:23:07.439
<v Speaker 1>trying to open as soon as possible, you know, how

1:23:07.520 --> 1:23:11.200
<v Speaker 1>can they try to prepare their finances and their economic

1:23:11.360 --> 1:23:14.160
<v Speaker 1>future given the uncertainty we're facing. Well, you know, I've

1:23:14.160 --> 1:23:16.519
<v Speaker 1>seen a lot of small business owners doing a lot

1:23:16.640 --> 1:23:19.960
<v Speaker 1>of very smart things. There are some folks, um you know,

1:23:20.040 --> 1:23:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm here today at my farm in Baltimore County, but

1:23:22.800 --> 1:23:27.599
<v Speaker 1>I also have a penthouse apartment downtown and walking around

1:23:27.640 --> 1:23:31.000
<v Speaker 1>downtown Baltimore, I was I was so happy to see

1:23:31.160 --> 1:23:35.120
<v Speaker 1>how many small bars and restaurants have basically set set

1:23:35.200 --> 1:23:42.080
<v Speaker 1>up outdoor gardens where people are congregating and enjoying food

1:23:42.280 --> 1:23:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and booze and socializing. Now they're you know, they might

1:23:45.880 --> 1:23:47.800
<v Speaker 1>be standing a little bit more further apart than they

1:23:47.880 --> 1:23:50.360
<v Speaker 1>ordinarily would. But there are a lot of business owners

1:23:50.439 --> 1:23:54.280
<v Speaker 1>have found ways to flow out the wall and the regulations.

1:23:54.400 --> 1:23:58.320
<v Speaker 1>And I'm, i'm, i'm, I think that's great. I'm I'm.

1:23:58.520 --> 1:24:00.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, my business, I wouldn't describe it as small,

1:24:00.400 --> 1:24:03.519
<v Speaker 1>but I think there's lots of entrepreneurial things that we

1:24:03.560 --> 1:24:05.960
<v Speaker 1>can do. For example, I'm making a T shirt that

1:24:06.080 --> 1:24:10.559
<v Speaker 1>says your mask and as an American flag on the back.

1:24:11.120 --> 1:24:15.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, the consumer demand is going to change relative

1:24:15.600 --> 1:24:19.880
<v Speaker 1>to where we are in this pandemic process. But anything

1:24:20.000 --> 1:24:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you can do to serve your customers, anything you can

1:24:22.080 --> 1:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>do to find ways around the regulations, and then you

1:24:26.880 --> 1:24:29.439
<v Speaker 1>have to do And I think that the good business

1:24:29.479 --> 1:24:31.800
<v Speaker 1>owners have already done that. They've already they're way ahead

1:24:31.800 --> 1:24:34.160
<v Speaker 1>of us. But a guy I know in town who

1:24:34.200 --> 1:24:37.639
<v Speaker 1>makes custom clothing, nobody's ordering custom clothing right now because

1:24:37.640 --> 1:24:40.599
<v Speaker 1>no one's even going into the office. So he went

1:24:40.640 --> 1:24:43.799
<v Speaker 1>through his contacts in China and began making designer masks,

1:24:44.040 --> 1:24:46.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, and he's selling them like hot cakes. So

1:24:46.760 --> 1:24:49.720
<v Speaker 1>there's lots of there's lots of ways to stay in

1:24:49.880 --> 1:24:52.040
<v Speaker 1>business if you will be creative and if you will

1:24:52.120 --> 1:24:55.080
<v Speaker 1>meet the market demand where it is today. And what

1:24:55.160 --> 1:24:58.160
<v Speaker 1>do you say to our listeners right now who are

1:24:58.240 --> 1:25:01.000
<v Speaker 1>seeing where they're well, they're seeing where they're four oh

1:25:01.040 --> 1:25:03.200
<v Speaker 1>one k is and it's it's obviously for a lot

1:25:03.240 --> 1:25:05.680
<v Speaker 1>of folks down a bid from where it was a

1:25:06.200 --> 1:25:09.320
<v Speaker 1>few months ago. But this does bring up an interesting thing.

1:25:09.360 --> 1:25:11.640
<v Speaker 1>People are scared about what the market will do, but

1:25:11.800 --> 1:25:15.120
<v Speaker 1>port in the market hasn't really crashed the way that

1:25:15.280 --> 1:25:17.160
<v Speaker 1>if you had told somebody we had a pandemic or

1:25:17.240 --> 1:25:20.040
<v Speaker 1>everyone's locked at home, they would have guessed. I think.

1:25:20.120 --> 1:25:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it seems almost like the market is frozen

1:25:22.479 --> 1:25:25.080
<v Speaker 1>in place in some ways right now. What should people

1:25:25.120 --> 1:25:27.280
<v Speaker 1>be concerned or should they just ride it out? Well,

1:25:27.640 --> 1:25:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you'll remember or not, but on

1:25:29.880 --> 1:25:35.040
<v Speaker 1>March twenty fourth, we had a conference, an online conference

1:25:35.080 --> 1:25:38.719
<v Speaker 1>for ours, for our clients, for our subscribers at Stansbury Research,

1:25:39.320 --> 1:25:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and I got with our analytical team and we put

1:25:41.840 --> 1:25:46.120
<v Speaker 1>together I believe it's forty different stocks to forty large

1:25:46.200 --> 1:25:49.519
<v Speaker 1>businesses that we said at that time, this is the

1:25:49.600 --> 1:25:52.880
<v Speaker 1>greatest opportunity in your lifetime. You'll have to buy these businesses,

1:25:53.320 --> 1:25:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and we recommend that you began buying them, even though

1:25:56.320 --> 1:25:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the market hasn't shown any sign of bottoming. Right at

1:25:59.280 --> 1:26:02.600
<v Speaker 1>that point that I was down almost forty percent, and

1:26:02.720 --> 1:26:06.040
<v Speaker 1>so that was a really dire time. Meanwhile, what I

1:26:06.160 --> 1:26:09.559
<v Speaker 1>saw was you can buy American Express at seven times earnings.

1:26:10.160 --> 1:26:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I saw you could buy Coola Cole with a four

1:26:11.960 --> 1:26:15.439
<v Speaker 1>percent dividend. Are these are opportunities that I had never

1:26:15.560 --> 1:26:18.640
<v Speaker 1>seen in my entire lifetime as a financial analyst. The

1:26:18.720 --> 1:26:21.800
<v Speaker 1>ability to buy the world's best brands, the world's best

1:26:21.880 --> 1:26:25.840
<v Speaker 1>business models, the world's best products at forty percent off.

1:26:26.360 --> 1:26:28.639
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I'm not saying that the market wasn't

1:26:28.640 --> 1:26:30.639
<v Speaker 1>a little bit overvalued at the start of this crisis,

1:26:30.720 --> 1:26:34.000
<v Speaker 1>but it wasn't It wasn't, in my mind, m so

1:26:34.240 --> 1:26:36.360
<v Speaker 1>overvalued that you had to, you know, you should be

1:26:36.439 --> 1:26:42.559
<v Speaker 1>in cash. U So a forty percent decline from something

1:26:42.640 --> 1:26:45.800
<v Speaker 1>that's very likely to be a two or three quarter

1:26:45.960 --> 1:26:49.160
<v Speaker 1>impairment to earnings, that doesn't make any sense to me, Buck,

1:26:49.479 --> 1:26:51.240
<v Speaker 1>And so that's why I was telling people to buy,

1:26:51.960 --> 1:26:54.679
<v Speaker 1>and I think I think to a lesser extent, of course,

1:26:54.680 --> 1:26:56.800
<v Speaker 1>because now the market is rallied twenty five or thirty

1:26:56.840 --> 1:26:59.840
<v Speaker 1>percent from that from that point, but there are still

1:27:00.200 --> 1:27:04.240
<v Speaker 1>great opportunities for long term investors. Now. Look, I can't

1:27:04.280 --> 1:27:05.640
<v Speaker 1>tell you what the stock market's going to be a

1:27:05.720 --> 1:27:07.320
<v Speaker 1>month from now. I can't tell you what stock market

1:27:07.400 --> 1:27:09.200
<v Speaker 1>is going to be six months from now. But I

1:27:09.280 --> 1:27:11.560
<v Speaker 1>can tell you that this pandemic is not going to

1:27:11.640 --> 1:27:14.960
<v Speaker 1>wreck our economy. The risk is that it will wreck.

1:27:16.040 --> 1:27:20.240
<v Speaker 1>The risk to our economy is political, not financial. The

1:27:20.320 --> 1:27:24.160
<v Speaker 1>amount of liquidity and loans and money that's being pumped

1:27:24.160 --> 1:27:26.439
<v Speaker 1>into our economy is going to cause us to have

1:27:26.520 --> 1:27:30.280
<v Speaker 1>a very very strong recovery. And I would be willing

1:27:30.280 --> 1:27:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to bet you that twelve months from now there is

1:27:32.960 --> 1:27:36.800
<v Speaker 1>no impairment whatsoever to the earnings of any major, high

1:27:36.880 --> 1:27:40.800
<v Speaker 1>quality blueshift American company. That's very positive stuff. So that's

1:27:40.880 --> 1:27:42.760
<v Speaker 1>that's good to hear. How are you doing? Pour it

1:27:42.800 --> 1:27:45.040
<v Speaker 1>down there? Brother? How are you riding out this whole situation?

1:27:45.160 --> 1:27:47.400
<v Speaker 1>You said you've been in almost sixty days of quarantine.

1:27:47.760 --> 1:27:50.160
<v Speaker 1>How are you keeping busy? Well, you know, luckily there's

1:27:50.200 --> 1:27:53.519
<v Speaker 1>lots to do for my company. We all it's not

1:27:53.600 --> 1:27:55.800
<v Speaker 1>hard for us to work from home. We all have laptops.

1:27:56.120 --> 1:27:59.320
<v Speaker 1>We issue laptops to all of our employees in early

1:27:59.479 --> 1:28:02.639
<v Speaker 1>March February and anticipation that something like this might occur.

1:28:03.200 --> 1:28:06.160
<v Speaker 1>So we've been serving our clients just like we always do,

1:28:06.640 --> 1:28:10.920
<v Speaker 1>producing research, making recommendations following the results of the different

1:28:11.439 --> 1:28:14.760
<v Speaker 1>recommended businesses that we track and endorse. We've put out

1:28:14.800 --> 1:28:17.880
<v Speaker 1>a new portfolio to help investors, the Forever Portfolio that

1:28:17.920 --> 1:28:21.519
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned, forty stocks, and really the opportunity to buy

1:28:21.560 --> 1:28:25.040
<v Speaker 1>these businesses is very exciting for us. Obviously, this isn't

1:28:25.080 --> 1:28:27.439
<v Speaker 1>the way that we hoped that we'd be able to

1:28:27.520 --> 1:28:30.440
<v Speaker 1>serve our customers. We would have much rather the bollmarket

1:28:30.520 --> 1:28:34.519
<v Speaker 1>simply continue and for everyone to keep going to work.

1:28:35.000 --> 1:28:38.479
<v Speaker 1>But we met the market where it was, and so

1:28:39.360 --> 1:28:42.920
<v Speaker 1>luckily things for me have been very good. And I

1:28:43.040 --> 1:28:45.000
<v Speaker 1>have young children. I've got a twelve year old or

1:28:45.040 --> 1:28:46.519
<v Speaker 1>nine year old, and I've gotten to spend a lot

1:28:46.600 --> 1:28:48.759
<v Speaker 1>more time with them, which has actually been very enjoyable.

1:28:49.160 --> 1:28:51.439
<v Speaker 1>We bought a couple extra dirt bikes here for the farm,

1:28:51.560 --> 1:28:54.240
<v Speaker 1>so we've we've been teaching them how to write motorcycles.

1:28:54.320 --> 1:28:57.080
<v Speaker 1>And we've been doing a lot of hunting. I've killed

1:28:57.479 --> 1:29:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe a dozen foxes. I gotta get it.

1:29:01.160 --> 1:29:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I gotta get you. And Ted Nugin we had him

1:29:03.160 --> 1:29:05.240
<v Speaker 1>on last week. He loves to talk about thinking, I

1:29:05.280 --> 1:29:07.280
<v Speaker 1>gotta get you guys out at the same time. But

1:29:07.600 --> 1:29:10.880
<v Speaker 1>ever you go, choke. I saw that fox that my

1:29:11.120 --> 1:29:13.439
<v Speaker 1>my son traveler guy. Did you see how big it was?

1:29:13.640 --> 1:29:15.519
<v Speaker 1>It looked like it looked like a like a like

1:29:15.640 --> 1:29:17.640
<v Speaker 1>a tiger or something. It was huge. It was a

1:29:17.720 --> 1:29:20.559
<v Speaker 1>big fox. It was the fox. It was over twenty pounds.

1:29:20.560 --> 1:29:22.800
<v Speaker 1>It looked like a coyote. Was Yeah, I've never seen

1:29:22.840 --> 1:29:25.320
<v Speaker 1>a so yeah, we've been actually having you know, we've

1:29:25.360 --> 1:29:27.320
<v Speaker 1>been having a lot of fun here on the farm

1:29:27.400 --> 1:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and business is going very well for us. And again

1:29:30.200 --> 1:29:32.720
<v Speaker 1>this is not the way we would like to succeed um,

1:29:33.040 --> 1:29:36.799
<v Speaker 1>but it's when people when we have crisises, people definitely

1:29:36.920 --> 1:29:39.240
<v Speaker 1>need help with their finances. They need help to know

1:29:39.320 --> 1:29:40.760
<v Speaker 1>what to do with their money, and we've been able

1:29:40.800 --> 1:29:44.520
<v Speaker 1>to provide the information for them, fortunately very successful. Stansbury

<v Speaker 1>roll Call time. But first I want to tell I

1:30:11.360 --> 1:30:12.680
<v Speaker 1>want to tell you guys all something. You know what

1:30:12.720 --> 1:30:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I watched last night. I actually watched it with the

1:30:15.120 --> 1:30:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Snow Princess because she was in the movie. She's like,

1:30:17.920 --> 1:30:19.840
<v Speaker 1>can we watch? And I said, let's go for it.

1:30:20.200 --> 1:30:23.960
<v Speaker 1>We watched the original Jaws movie, which I kinda say,

1:30:24.320 --> 1:30:26.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just such a classic. It's great when you really

1:30:26.880 --> 1:30:29.240
<v Speaker 1>sit down and watch it. It's so well done. It

1:30:29.439 --> 1:30:33.760
<v Speaker 1>holds up, it moves really well. Because they used the

1:30:34.240 --> 1:30:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I think his name is Hank is what they called him,

1:30:36.120 --> 1:30:41.240
<v Speaker 1>the you know, animatronic shark instead of an have CGI,

1:30:41.400 --> 1:30:44.080
<v Speaker 1>so instead of a CGI shark. It just yeah, it

1:30:44.160 --> 1:30:46.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't look that real, but it looks real enough. And

1:30:46.160 --> 1:30:48.680
<v Speaker 1>it's just much better the way they did it than

1:30:48.720 --> 1:30:50.960
<v Speaker 1>if they had tried some kind of graphic imposition of

1:30:51.040 --> 1:30:54.639
<v Speaker 1>a shark. So I as a producer, Mark, you've obviously

1:30:54.680 --> 1:30:57.120
<v Speaker 1>seen it, right, Yes, of course. I think it's one

1:30:57.160 --> 1:31:01.760
<v Speaker 1>of the great like cinematic classics of all time for

1:31:02.280 --> 1:31:04.280
<v Speaker 1>enjoyment purposes. I'm not saying that it should have won

1:31:04.320 --> 1:31:05.960
<v Speaker 1>all the Oscars or anything like that, but who cares

1:31:05.960 --> 1:31:07.760
<v Speaker 1>about that. But if you're just looking for a great

1:31:07.800 --> 1:31:11.200
<v Speaker 1>popcorn movie, I think it's fantastic. Yeah, And I'm very

1:31:11.280 --> 1:31:14.200
<v Speaker 1>upset at Universal for getting rid of the ride at

1:31:14.520 --> 1:31:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Universal Islands of Adventure, one of the one of the

1:31:16.720 --> 1:31:19.920
<v Speaker 1>parks down in Orlando. It's gone one of the best rides.

1:31:20.200 --> 1:31:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Had you Did you actually do that ride? Yeah? I did.

1:31:22.120 --> 1:31:23.560
<v Speaker 1>When I was a kid. I lived in Florida for

1:31:23.600 --> 1:31:25.080
<v Speaker 1>a period of time and we would go on school

1:31:25.120 --> 1:31:27.600
<v Speaker 1>trips up there. So that was really fun. And I

1:31:27.840 --> 1:31:30.760
<v Speaker 1>love the Jaws ride. It's really fun. Yeah, And you

1:31:30.800 --> 1:31:34.280
<v Speaker 1>know they do some there's some great stuff um that

1:31:34.400 --> 1:31:37.519
<v Speaker 1>they that they work into that script when they talk

1:31:37.560 --> 1:31:43.040
<v Speaker 1>about the Matawan Creek shark attacks of nineteen sixteen, I

1:31:43.120 --> 1:31:45.760
<v Speaker 1>think it is um. You know, there's a series of

1:31:45.760 --> 1:31:47.240
<v Speaker 1>shore was actually the Jerseys. Do you know about this?

1:31:47.280 --> 1:31:50.639
<v Speaker 1>Producer Mark? On the Jersey Shore and like I've heard

1:31:50.640 --> 1:31:53.519
<v Speaker 1>of it. Yeah, Well they talk about it in They

1:31:53.560 --> 1:31:57.800
<v Speaker 1>allude to it briefly in um in Jaws, and people

1:31:57.880 --> 1:32:00.639
<v Speaker 1>say that it's really the inspiration Mobe Dick. Obviously there's

1:32:00.640 --> 1:32:02.599
<v Speaker 1>a lot of parallels. People say with Moby Dick, katain

1:32:02.640 --> 1:32:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Ahab is actually that guy Quinn. But the idea of

1:32:06.240 --> 1:32:10.960
<v Speaker 1>a series of shark attacks shutting down a seaside community.

1:32:11.280 --> 1:32:15.840
<v Speaker 1>It happened in Loose nineteen sixteen or nineteen eighteen in

1:32:15.960 --> 1:32:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Manawan Creek, New Jersey. They had four people I think

1:32:18.680 --> 1:32:20.760
<v Speaker 1>it was, who were attacked, and I think they all

1:32:20.880 --> 1:32:23.880
<v Speaker 1>died in a period of a couple of days from

1:32:23.920 --> 1:32:26.760
<v Speaker 1>shark attacks, and like right near each other. So there

1:32:26.880 --> 1:32:28.920
<v Speaker 1>was a shark that was running wild, just eating people

1:32:28.960 --> 1:32:31.120
<v Speaker 1>all over the place. They still to this day they

1:32:31.200 --> 1:32:33.920
<v Speaker 1>think it might have been a bullshark because of the

1:32:34.040 --> 1:32:37.720
<v Speaker 1>brackish water, you know, the mixture of salt, salt water

1:32:37.880 --> 1:32:40.600
<v Speaker 1>and freshwater in this creek. And when you look at

1:32:40.640 --> 1:32:43.559
<v Speaker 1>the photos of the creek where people were attacked, it's

1:32:43.640 --> 1:32:45.760
<v Speaker 1>like a little river through a town. You would never

1:32:45.920 --> 1:32:48.439
<v Speaker 1>think that there was a man eating shark that could

1:32:48.560 --> 1:32:51.200
<v Speaker 1>in a million years be in there. So yeah, it's

1:32:51.200 --> 1:32:55.639
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. Fun talk, yes, very fun talk. Good story yeah,

1:32:55.760 --> 1:32:58.760
<v Speaker 1>fun talk all right, roll call this Marks? Like Buck,

1:32:58.800 --> 1:33:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you talk enough? Why don't you let the people who

1:33:00.479 --> 1:33:02.800
<v Speaker 1>write in the kind people who take their time from

1:33:02.880 --> 1:33:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Team Buck to write in. Usually it's just uh Poosi.

1:33:05.600 --> 1:33:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Mark's great and he's so funny and yeah yeah yeah,

1:33:08.360 --> 1:33:09.680
<v Speaker 1>where do we go? Here we all? Here we go,

1:33:09.800 --> 1:33:14.720
<v Speaker 1>here we go. We have starting us off Terrence, Hey, Buck,

1:33:14.760 --> 1:33:17.560
<v Speaker 1>wishing the best from here in South Korea where you

1:33:17.600 --> 1:33:23.760
<v Speaker 1>are a morning show. Oh uh, I'm young Asia. I

1:33:23.880 --> 1:33:29.720
<v Speaker 1>think that's close to saying I think that's hello. So

1:33:29.880 --> 1:33:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I was pretty close. I remade a daily listen from

1:33:32.120 --> 1:33:34.600
<v Speaker 1>back on the Saturday Blaze days. I know there are

1:33:34.640 --> 1:33:37.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of factors determining success in the COVID battle.

1:33:37.720 --> 1:33:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Not sure what the specific thing is that Korea is

1:33:39.800 --> 1:33:42.240
<v Speaker 1>doing right, but the results speak for themselves today shields

1:33:42.280 --> 1:33:45.439
<v Speaker 1>high Well, Terrence. First of all, it's great man to

1:33:45.600 --> 1:33:47.720
<v Speaker 1>have some oss here, and you're listening to me in

1:33:47.800 --> 1:33:50.519
<v Speaker 1>South Korea, so this is truly a global show, which

1:33:50.520 --> 1:33:55.519
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate, so thank you very much for that. And yeah,

1:33:55.920 --> 1:33:57.640
<v Speaker 1>as to what South Korea is doing right, I don't know.

1:33:57.720 --> 1:34:00.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean we're hearing that they are very high rates

1:34:00.479 --> 1:34:03.120
<v Speaker 1>of testing, but I just also think that they have

1:34:03.200 --> 1:34:07.080
<v Speaker 1>a tremendous amount of individual compliance in the society for

1:34:07.400 --> 1:34:10.040
<v Speaker 1>the mitigation measures that we can all take. We all

1:34:10.120 --> 1:34:12.200
<v Speaker 1>know this from cold season and flu season already. There

1:34:12.200 --> 1:34:15.200
<v Speaker 1>are things you can do to make respiratory diseases less

1:34:15.240 --> 1:34:18.080
<v Speaker 1>likely to spread. And if everybody does those things, it

1:34:18.200 --> 1:34:21.280
<v Speaker 1>really devotes themselves to those things. I think that the

1:34:21.400 --> 1:34:25.680
<v Speaker 1>government's actions become far less necessary, and it's also much

1:34:25.720 --> 1:34:28.439
<v Speaker 1>more likely that you be in a position to continue

1:34:28.439 --> 1:34:32.400
<v Speaker 1>to have your economy open. But that's just how that's

1:34:32.400 --> 1:34:36.400
<v Speaker 1>how I view it. That's my take on it. Terrence, Oh,

1:34:36.400 --> 1:34:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry that was Terrence. Greg Hey Buck sounds like

1:34:38.680 --> 1:34:41.320
<v Speaker 1>you cook a lot of steak life hack. Melt some

1:34:41.439 --> 1:34:44.880
<v Speaker 1>butter with garlic and grated parmerjan into a sort of

1:34:45.040 --> 1:34:47.519
<v Speaker 1>sauce and pour it over your steak. You won't ever

1:34:47.640 --> 1:34:51.240
<v Speaker 1>regret it. Best thing ever, Well, Greg, that does sound amazing.

1:34:51.360 --> 1:34:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you something that I often do as

1:34:53.360 --> 1:34:56.360
<v Speaker 1>a finish when I'm cooking a good steak is I

1:34:56.439 --> 1:34:59.439
<v Speaker 1>will just you know, once you've seared and you've gotten

1:34:59.439 --> 1:35:02.320
<v Speaker 1>them meet the right temperature, put it in the pan,

1:35:02.520 --> 1:35:05.200
<v Speaker 1>preferably a cast iron obviously, because we're civilized here. We

1:35:05.320 --> 1:35:07.680
<v Speaker 1>use cast iron when we can on our meats. And

1:35:07.920 --> 1:35:10.800
<v Speaker 1>you use that cast iron pan and you you have

1:35:11.080 --> 1:35:13.120
<v Speaker 1>built in heat in the pan. Put it on really

1:35:13.240 --> 1:35:15.479
<v Speaker 1>low medium heat because there's already gonna be a lot

1:35:15.520 --> 1:35:18.240
<v Speaker 1>of heat in the pan, and you throw in some

1:35:18.840 --> 1:35:22.040
<v Speaker 1>herb that you have a time is a great option,

1:35:22.240 --> 1:35:24.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, a little time, maybe a little Parsley sage.

1:35:24.800 --> 1:35:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I love sage. I've been kind of a sage kick lately.

1:35:27.920 --> 1:35:29.880
<v Speaker 1>And then you throw in those herbs and then you

1:35:29.960 --> 1:35:32.040
<v Speaker 1>throw in a big pat of butter with it, and

1:35:32.280 --> 1:35:37.360
<v Speaker 1>it will effectively fry the herbs right there in real time.

1:35:37.400 --> 1:35:40.680
<v Speaker 1>And then you spoon that over the steak. So you

1:35:40.760 --> 1:35:43.519
<v Speaker 1>have an herbed butter that's melted in real time and

1:35:43.680 --> 1:35:46.920
<v Speaker 1>you just throw it over the steak and woo menu fique.

1:35:47.479 --> 1:35:51.479
<v Speaker 1>I would throw some grated parmesan into it. But for me,

1:35:52.200 --> 1:35:54.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna say it. I like where your head's at, Greg,

1:35:54.479 --> 1:35:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and I respect the game. That for me would be

1:35:56.720 --> 1:36:00.479
<v Speaker 1>if I were working with maybe a less excited cut

1:36:00.560 --> 1:36:02.760
<v Speaker 1>of meat, because I feel like the cheese would be

1:36:02.800 --> 1:36:04.880
<v Speaker 1>a little strong for me, and some people are gonna disagree.

1:36:04.920 --> 1:36:07.639
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna love that cheese on all their producer producer, Mark,

1:36:07.680 --> 1:36:09.880
<v Speaker 1>are you are you a melted parmesan on your steak? Guy?

1:36:10.040 --> 1:36:12.840
<v Speaker 1>There's no wrong answer here. It's not something I regularly do,

1:36:13.000 --> 1:36:15.200
<v Speaker 1>but I would definitely try it. It sounds delicious. I mean,

1:36:15.200 --> 1:36:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it would taste good. But butter on the

1:36:17.240 --> 1:36:19.599
<v Speaker 1>steak is definitely the way go. Oh one hundred percent

1:36:19.680 --> 1:36:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the way to go. Yeah, you gotta I mean, if

1:36:21.120 --> 1:36:23.120
<v Speaker 1>you're already eating red meat, you you gotta go bigger,

1:36:23.200 --> 1:36:24.800
<v Speaker 1>go home. And that's when you got to use that.

1:36:25.560 --> 1:36:27.320
<v Speaker 1>And the herbed butters are very nice, and if you

1:36:27.439 --> 1:36:30.240
<v Speaker 1>have the time, there's a there's a there's a way

1:36:30.240 --> 1:36:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to take the butter. You know. You dice up your

1:36:32.280 --> 1:36:35.880
<v Speaker 1>herbs very very not not dice mince them, I think

1:36:35.920 --> 1:36:38.320
<v Speaker 1>it's the proper term. Or you cut them very finely,

1:36:38.720 --> 1:36:40.880
<v Speaker 1>and then you roll them in with some cold butter

1:36:40.960 --> 1:36:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and you put it in the fridge and you make

1:36:43.120 --> 1:36:45.360
<v Speaker 1>your herbed butter beforehand. That's a very nice way to

1:36:45.400 --> 1:36:47.000
<v Speaker 1>go to because then you take out that butter pat

1:36:47.080 --> 1:36:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and you put it on top of the steak when

1:36:48.760 --> 1:36:51.080
<v Speaker 1>it's still really hot. And which just melts into it.

1:36:51.640 --> 1:36:56.080
<v Speaker 1>It's wonderful. Um, I'm getting hungry. Peter Buck still listening

1:36:56.120 --> 1:36:58.719
<v Speaker 1>to work while protecting the grid and cat skill. Thank you, Peter,

1:36:58.840 --> 1:37:02.599
<v Speaker 1>frontline worker shields. I hope you, improucer Mark are doing well.

1:37:03.080 --> 1:37:05.160
<v Speaker 1>You ask when will the testing be enough to fully

1:37:05.200 --> 1:37:09.479
<v Speaker 1>open the country? November fifth, Well played, Peter. When they

1:37:09.520 --> 1:37:11.880
<v Speaker 1>hope Donald Trump is no longer the president, then the

1:37:11.960 --> 1:37:14.920
<v Speaker 1>cry will become we must open now because Trump held

1:37:15.000 --> 1:37:17.599
<v Speaker 1>up the economy and it's up to us, the Libs.

1:37:17.800 --> 1:37:19.599
<v Speaker 1>He didn't write that, but I'm saying it to save

1:37:19.680 --> 1:37:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the American people. Stay healthy and safe. Well, thank you,

1:37:23.320 --> 1:37:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much, Peter. And yeah, I think you're

1:37:27.840 --> 1:37:30.880
<v Speaker 1>largely correct here. I share your analysis on this one.

1:37:31.000 --> 1:37:37.200
<v Speaker 1>So well done, Craig. I'm a podcast and occasional AM

1:37:37.320 --> 1:37:41.400
<v Speaker 1>one thousand KSOO listener. Wonderful. Thank you so much, Craig.

1:37:41.880 --> 1:37:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I hate the fact that the federal government human resources

1:37:44.960 --> 1:37:48.439
<v Speaker 1>terms of essential and non essential have now been forced

1:37:48.520 --> 1:37:51.559
<v Speaker 1>into our daily lexicon. I hated these terms while managing

1:37:51.600 --> 1:37:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Department of Army civilians during my career. If during an emergency,

1:37:55.040 --> 1:37:57.320
<v Speaker 1>a government employee is not needed for the functioning of

1:37:57.400 --> 1:38:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the organization, then why do they have a job? If

1:38:00.360 --> 1:38:04.080
<v Speaker 1>only essential work occurs during emergency situations, then what work

1:38:04.160 --> 1:38:06.640
<v Speaker 1>is being accomplished by the majority of them most of

1:38:06.680 --> 1:38:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the time. Now, the state is using these unfair and

1:38:09.640 --> 1:38:13.400
<v Speaker 1>illogical terms to divide the public sector. All jobs and

1:38:13.439 --> 1:38:15.439
<v Speaker 1>businesses in the economy are essential and needed for this

1:38:15.560 --> 1:38:18.120
<v Speaker 1>great nation to work. If we want to get these

1:38:18.160 --> 1:38:22.080
<v Speaker 1>shut down over quicker shutdowns over quicker, furlough all non

1:38:22.160 --> 1:38:24.360
<v Speaker 1>essential government workers and not allow them to work from

1:38:24.400 --> 1:38:27.080
<v Speaker 1>home and earn a paycheck, as is happening for many

1:38:27.280 --> 1:38:30.400
<v Speaker 1>in the economy. Since the majority of federal civilian workforce

1:38:30.520 --> 1:38:33.479
<v Speaker 1>is classified as non essential, the outcry within the federal

1:38:33.520 --> 1:38:36.240
<v Speaker 1>government would be deafening and one that politicians could not ignore.

1:38:36.360 --> 1:38:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Keep up the good fight, Craig, excellent, excellent note. And

1:38:40.439 --> 1:38:43.479
<v Speaker 1>I think you're right if you had people who work

1:38:43.560 --> 1:38:46.320
<v Speaker 1>for the government who were no longer drawing a paycheck

1:38:46.400 --> 1:38:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and we're not able to work from home, if they

1:38:49.040 --> 1:38:52.360
<v Speaker 1>were furloughed, any non essential government employees instead of getting

1:38:52.360 --> 1:38:54.200
<v Speaker 1>paid because right now, my understanding is they're paid to

1:38:54.320 --> 1:38:57.320
<v Speaker 1>be home and work from home. But if you're non essential,

1:38:57.640 --> 1:38:59.240
<v Speaker 1>why are you getting paid to work? From home as

1:38:59.240 --> 1:39:02.400
<v Speaker 1>a govern employee. Craig is asking, it's an interesting point,

1:39:02.439 --> 1:39:05.080
<v Speaker 1>isn't it. And it would put so much pressure, especially

1:39:05.160 --> 1:39:09.640
<v Speaker 1>for state and municipal employees. Think about how annoyed they

1:39:09.720 --> 1:39:13.599
<v Speaker 1>would get with this circumstance very quickly. It would change, folks.

1:39:13.840 --> 1:39:15.960
<v Speaker 1>This is really a lot of this is about pressure

1:39:16.000 --> 1:39:19.160
<v Speaker 1>points in the separation of those who are still getting

1:39:19.200 --> 1:39:22.280
<v Speaker 1>paid and those who are not. And it is a

1:39:22.560 --> 1:39:26.800
<v Speaker 1>very meaningful difference whether or not you are getting paid

1:39:26.880 --> 1:39:29.120
<v Speaker 1>right now. There's just no way around it. It does

1:39:29.720 --> 1:39:32.280
<v Speaker 1>matter to people's perceptions of how serious this is, how

1:39:32.320 --> 1:39:36.160
<v Speaker 1>severe this is. And there are way too many people

1:39:36.200 --> 1:39:38.799
<v Speaker 1>out there, I think, who are allowed voices on this issue,

1:39:39.280 --> 1:39:42.240
<v Speaker 1>who just think that there's not really a massive cost

1:39:42.360 --> 1:39:46.240
<v Speaker 1>or consequence to continuing as we are because it hasn't

1:39:46.360 --> 1:39:49.760
<v Speaker 1>been that consequential for them yet, although eventually it will

1:39:49.800 --> 1:39:52.519
<v Speaker 1>be consequential for everybody, especially in the private sector and

1:39:52.560 --> 1:39:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the public sector. It takes longer because they just rely

1:39:56.000 --> 1:39:57.920
<v Speaker 1>on the government to pay them with the printed money.

1:39:58.320 --> 1:40:01.360
<v Speaker 1>But for people that have to actually be reductive. We

1:40:01.479 --> 1:40:04.400
<v Speaker 1>will see sooner than later what the real consequences of

1:40:04.479 --> 1:40:06.640
<v Speaker 1>this can be. Uh and a lot of us are

1:40:06.680 --> 1:40:10.040
<v Speaker 1>already feeling it. Um. You know we we are feeling

1:40:10.080 --> 1:40:11.599
<v Speaker 1>it in media. I can tell you that at least

1:40:11.600 --> 1:40:14.280
<v Speaker 1>some of us are. It's this is not fun um

1:40:14.520 --> 1:40:16.880
<v Speaker 1>financially speaking. I mean, I can't get into details, but

1:40:17.000 --> 1:40:19.960
<v Speaker 1>this is not a not a good time for for

1:40:20.160 --> 1:40:24.080
<v Speaker 1>media in general, but more specifically, you know, conservative media,

1:40:24.120 --> 1:40:26.800
<v Speaker 1>because we run so much on on ads and on

1:40:27.000 --> 1:40:29.960
<v Speaker 1>economic activity. You know, this show only works because you

1:40:30.000 --> 1:40:32.439
<v Speaker 1>guys all try out our sponsors. Well, people are buying

1:40:32.600 --> 1:40:36.680
<v Speaker 1>less stuff. Uh that that hurts the economic model of

1:40:36.800 --> 1:40:39.519
<v Speaker 1>of all talk radio, of all the different platforms out there.

1:40:39.600 --> 1:40:43.000
<v Speaker 1>So you know, yeah, I'm still working, but it's it's

1:40:43.080 --> 1:40:45.120
<v Speaker 1>tough out there, folks. It's tough for us too. Don't

1:40:45.160 --> 1:40:50.439
<v Speaker 1>think it's not. You're in the freedom hud. This is

1:40:50.479 --> 1:40:57.679
<v Speaker 1>the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right, more roll call here,

1:40:57.760 --> 1:41:01.839
<v Speaker 1>Tim rites Buck Penn should a mask at all times.

1:41:02.000 --> 1:41:05.080
<v Speaker 1>He is our only buffer between us and insanity. If

1:41:05.160 --> 1:41:09.280
<v Speaker 1>something were to happen to Trump, President Pelosi makes me

1:41:09.400 --> 1:41:13.439
<v Speaker 1>ill to even type it. Well, Tim, I appreciate that

1:41:13.560 --> 1:41:18.400
<v Speaker 1>you want to keep are very esteemed and really really

1:41:18.439 --> 1:41:21.320
<v Speaker 1>an exceptional person. Our vice president's a good guy. I

1:41:21.400 --> 1:41:25.280
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that you want to keep him, you know, keep

1:41:25.360 --> 1:41:27.160
<v Speaker 1>him as healthy as possible. I certainly agree with that.

1:41:27.360 --> 1:41:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I think the Vice president, given who he's

1:41:30.040 --> 1:41:32.519
<v Speaker 1>around and what he's dealing with every day, probably has

1:41:32.520 --> 1:41:36.040
<v Speaker 1>a pretty darn good sense of what is necessary for

1:41:36.200 --> 1:41:39.280
<v Speaker 1>keeping him healthy and safe into the game. But I

1:41:39.640 --> 1:41:42.280
<v Speaker 1>hear you on that we need Pence staying strong, stay

1:41:42.280 --> 1:41:45.639
<v Speaker 1>and healthy. And the same thing with our president, man Trump,

1:41:45.840 --> 1:41:50.000
<v Speaker 1>is this guy is going through hell right now as president.

1:41:50.040 --> 1:41:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean you can only imagine when from things that

1:41:53.200 --> 1:41:56.840
<v Speaker 1>were in his control, we're going so well, you know,

1:41:56.920 --> 1:41:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the economy was so strong. You gotta understand, this is

1:41:59.439 --> 1:42:02.759
<v Speaker 1>his life work, right, This is his the crowning achievement

1:42:02.800 --> 1:42:06.240
<v Speaker 1>of this guy's entire career, which has been a pretty

1:42:06.240 --> 1:42:09.160
<v Speaker 1>remarkable one at that. And he's doing such a good

1:42:09.240 --> 1:42:11.160
<v Speaker 1>job and then this happens. I mean, this is like,

1:42:12.160 --> 1:42:16.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're you're showing up to you're showing up

1:42:16.479 --> 1:42:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to sign the deal of a lifetime and you get

1:42:19.800 --> 1:42:21.800
<v Speaker 1>struck by lightning on the way and he's just like,

1:42:21.920 --> 1:42:25.280
<v Speaker 1>how does this happen? Man? This is terrible. So he's

1:42:25.360 --> 1:42:28.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously very tired, and I think he's particularly grumpy during

1:42:28.280 --> 1:42:30.439
<v Speaker 1>some of those press conferences, which I I can't understand.

1:42:30.520 --> 1:42:33.479
<v Speaker 1>I can't understand that. But he's particularly tired and grumpy

1:42:33.560 --> 1:42:36.960
<v Speaker 1>during the press conferences, and I get it, you know,

1:42:37.080 --> 1:42:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I can only imagine how challenging that is. But Trump's

1:42:40.120 --> 1:42:43.160
<v Speaker 1>staying healthy during all this is so important too, obviously

1:42:43.479 --> 1:42:47.000
<v Speaker 1>keeping him free of COVID nineteen, but just also not

1:42:47.160 --> 1:42:49.200
<v Speaker 1>getting run down with other health issues. I mean, the

1:42:49.240 --> 1:42:52.519
<v Speaker 1>guy's going through It's it's tough right now. Think of

1:42:52.600 --> 1:42:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the weight that he carries on his shoulders every day,

1:42:55.160 --> 1:42:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and all the all the libs like a bunch of

1:42:57.120 --> 1:42:59.760
<v Speaker 1>hyenas lurking in the background, just waiting to pounce on

1:42:59.800 --> 1:43:04.240
<v Speaker 1>a mistake that he makes. Michael right, Daily listener, love

1:43:41.439 --> 1:43:45.200
<v Speaker 1>want to keep going and growing. Gyle. Hey, Buck, last day,

1:43:45.200 --> 1:43:48.479
<v Speaker 1>I work for my crew. We build aircraft parts, and

1:43:48.600 --> 1:43:51.559
<v Speaker 1>the future is bleak. You and Mark stay safe there

1:43:51.560 --> 1:43:53.960
<v Speaker 1>at ground zero and keep your shield high. We'll be

1:43:54.000 --> 1:43:56.880
<v Speaker 1>listening and keeping my powder dry. You stay safe well, Gyle.

1:43:56.920 --> 1:43:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry to hear about the slowdown in your work,

1:43:59.120 --> 1:44:03.080
<v Speaker 1>but man, aircraft parts, this will will come back. It's

1:44:03.120 --> 1:44:05.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna come back. It's just gonna take some time. But

1:44:05.560 --> 1:44:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I know that right now, right now, that's not really

1:44:07.439 --> 1:44:09.200
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of comfort. Given then you got bills

1:44:09.240 --> 1:44:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to pay and a family to take care of. And

1:44:10.920 --> 1:44:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I know it's tough. I mean, Boeing is looking at

1:44:13.760 --> 1:44:16.519
<v Speaker 1>huge layoffs from what I understand, I mean, the airline industry.

1:44:17.120 --> 1:44:18.600
<v Speaker 1>How's that going to come back? It's gonna come. You

1:44:18.680 --> 1:44:20.000
<v Speaker 1>know how it comes back. And be honest with you,

1:44:20.040 --> 1:44:22.639
<v Speaker 1>it's when people feel like, you know what, I gotta

1:44:22.680 --> 1:44:25.080
<v Speaker 1>fly and I'm gonna go. Maybe I wear a surgical

1:44:25.160 --> 1:44:27.559
<v Speaker 1>mask on the plane. But I'm gonna fly, and I'm

1:44:27.600 --> 1:44:29.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna take that risk, and I think it's important, and

1:44:29.920 --> 1:44:32.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm healthy enough that I can handle this. And then

1:44:32.520 --> 1:44:36.720
<v Speaker 1>once that mentality becomes widespread, then I think you'll start

1:44:36.720 --> 1:44:40.280
<v Speaker 1>to see the airline industry maker will come back. Jake, right,

1:44:40.280 --> 1:44:43.120
<v Speaker 1>it's good, Hey, Buckman, at your recommendation. I recently read

1:44:43.200 --> 1:44:45.640
<v Speaker 1>The Guns of August, which led me to read a

1:44:45.680 --> 1:44:48.280
<v Speaker 1>few other books about World War One. The scale and

1:44:48.439 --> 1:44:51.000
<v Speaker 1>misery and loss of life from that war is just staggering,

1:44:51.360 --> 1:44:55.000
<v Speaker 1>But compared to our societal expectations today, it is clear

1:44:55.040 --> 1:44:57.320
<v Speaker 1>that the acceptance of necessary risk in those days was

1:44:57.479 --> 1:45:01.000
<v Speaker 1>orders of magnitude higher. Too high, one could argue, I

1:45:01.080 --> 1:45:02.639
<v Speaker 1>could go on, but to sum it up, I think

1:45:02.680 --> 1:45:06.240
<v Speaker 1>our society and government are showing themselves to be excessively

1:45:06.520 --> 1:45:12.840
<v Speaker 1>risk averse. Perhaps paradoxically, we have become fatally risk averse. Well, Jake,

1:45:12.880 --> 1:45:14.599
<v Speaker 1>first of all, I'm glad you're enjoying The Guns of August.

1:45:14.680 --> 1:45:16.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a great read, and it's a sort of a

1:45:16.720 --> 1:45:20.479
<v Speaker 1>timeless overview of the or the opening i should say,

1:45:20.520 --> 1:45:24.360
<v Speaker 1>of the First World War, the opening month of the

1:45:24.439 --> 1:45:27.720
<v Speaker 1>First World War, in particular, of the actual conflict. And

1:45:28.439 --> 1:45:31.920
<v Speaker 1>as for your fatally risk averse comment, it reminds me

1:45:32.000 --> 1:45:39.479
<v Speaker 1>of Professor Unitis from the University of Stour Stanford University,

1:45:40.200 --> 1:45:43.400
<v Speaker 1>who was saying that we're becoming like an elephant that

1:45:43.600 --> 1:45:46.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to escape a mouse falls off a cliff. That's

1:45:46.840 --> 1:45:48.680
<v Speaker 1>a similar idea to what you're talking about here. And

1:45:48.680 --> 1:45:51.960
<v Speaker 1>he's an epidemiologist and esteemed one who's saying that we're

1:45:52.000 --> 1:45:55.080
<v Speaker 1>acting like this is a bigger threat for us than

1:45:55.160 --> 1:46:01.439
<v Speaker 1>it really is. So there you have it, my cool Buck,

1:46:01.520 --> 1:46:03.439
<v Speaker 1>I usually jump at the vote, A jump at the

1:46:03.560 --> 1:46:07.120
<v Speaker 1>chance to vote for a libertarian. So will I vote

1:46:07.160 --> 1:46:11.479
<v Speaker 1>for Justin Amash? No, absolutely not. After how he's been

1:46:11.520 --> 1:46:13.200
<v Speaker 1>acting in the past couple of years, I wouldn't vote

1:46:13.200 --> 1:46:16.080
<v Speaker 1>for him to be my congressman either. Shields High. Yeah.

1:46:16.120 --> 1:46:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what happened to Himash, but he went

1:46:18.479 --> 1:46:20.400
<v Speaker 1>over to the he went over to the bad guy team,

1:46:20.720 --> 1:46:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's a shame to see that happen. But I

1:46:22.960 --> 1:46:26.040
<v Speaker 1>think it's I think it's where we are, my friend,

1:46:26.560 --> 1:46:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not impressed, as putting him mildly, that's my impression

1:46:30.120 --> 1:46:34.200
<v Speaker 1>of how he's doing. Terry writes, Hey, Buck, why don't

1:46:34.200 --> 1:46:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the Libs call the President's daily COVID nineteen briefing stupid

1:46:37.680 --> 1:46:40.559
<v Speaker 1>but not Governor Cuomos, I think I know the answer. Well, Terry,

1:46:40.800 --> 1:46:43.360
<v Speaker 1>you do know the answer. It's politics. There's nothing behind

1:46:43.400 --> 1:46:46.160
<v Speaker 1>it other than that. It's a shame that the Libs

1:46:46.160 --> 1:46:51.320
<v Speaker 1>will not put aside their political gripes during this very

1:46:51.320 --> 1:46:53.639
<v Speaker 1>difficult time where we all really should be banning together

1:46:53.760 --> 1:46:55.599
<v Speaker 1>and counting on each other to make decisions that are

1:46:55.600 --> 1:47:00.320
<v Speaker 1>best for the country. But liberalism is a question in

1:47:00.320 --> 1:47:03.519
<v Speaker 1>the era of Trump is a disorder. That's it for today, Folks,
