He may read it on the show. 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:15.120 Team Buck. Welcome to the Freedom Hunt. The CDC has 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:21.400 declared an illegal eviction moratorium. They're extending the moratory motivations 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.880 for sixty days because you know they're the CDC, so 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:29.159 they just decide they can. Boston's mayor has compared the 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:33.040 New York City passport program for vaccines to Jim Crow. 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:39.400 Disgraced Governor Cuomo, especially after that press conference yesterday, is 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:43.640 not going anywhere, folks. I'll explain why Obama scales down. 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.640 Is Martha's vineyard birthday bash and Libs want to put 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.360 the unvaccinated on the no fly list that was in 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.960 the Atlantic. Will get to that one if we have time. 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:58.400 But it is remarkable how much the Libs are doing 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.880 everything that those of us who are critics of them 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.960 from the beginning said they would do when it comes 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:07.399 to COVID. All of the overreach that we expected, all 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.319 of the free trial of communism so to speak, that 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.600 we knew would come as a result of the health emergency, 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:19.240 is actually happening. They're doing all the things that were 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.399 predicted that I knew they would end up doing, which 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:27.559 is just increased, unaccountable government power after enlarging their own 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.160 powers across the board, and then saying that they're going 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.679 to do everything they can to make sure the emergency 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:38.520 is perpetuated well beyond what any reasonable person could ever 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:42.119 think was necessary based upon the actual COVID numbers. We'll 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.440 get into all of that, but we'll all Street has 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.720 been lying to you for years saying immeasiately a few 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.000 percent is a good return on stocks, but it's really not, 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.240 and that trading is so complicated you need a financial advisor, 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.880 but you don't.

So the 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:53.200 CDC eviction moratorium is a fascinating situation because it's showing 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:57.760 you who the Democrats really are. It is not legal, 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:03.000 it is not constitutional, but they're doing it anyway. Well, 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.040 you say, buck, a hold on a second, this is 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.919 the government. The government doesn't just say we know this 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.320 is illegal, but we're going to tell you you have 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:15.160 to do it anyway. Oh no, wait, Democrat government does 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.919 function that way when the Democrat party is in charge. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:24.480 Turns out, that is what ends up happening. Oh gosh, 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.240 what a shock, what a surprise. And that's what we 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.000 see right now. And if you're wondering, I mean, do 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.840 I actually even have any any way to prove to 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.840 you that that's what's going on here. I do because 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:40.760 Joe Biden himself has said has weighed in on this one. 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.400 I mean, he has declared that he supports the CDC 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:49.760 eviction moratorium, but he isn't ignorant of the fact that 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.360 they shouldn't be doing this, because he himself said they 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.560 don't have the power to do this. I mean, here's 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.640 what he said when he was asked about this. I've 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.880 been informed the CDC is about to make a judgment 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:04.360 as to potential other options. Whether that option will pass 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:08.000 constitutional measure with this administration, I can't tell you. I 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.640 don't know. The bulk of the constitutional scholarship says that 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:15.560 it's not likely to pass constitutional muster, but there are 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.120 several key scholars who think that it may and it's 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.920 worth the effort. This is another way of saying, well, 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.240 we're Democrats, so even when we know what we're doing 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:31.200 is unconstitutional and therefore illegal as the government, we do 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:36.119 it anyway because we can and we want to. This 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.000 is the logic of power and nothing else. And this 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.480 is what you see from the Democrat Party. Whenever they can, 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.240 I mean whenever they can get away with it. This 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:49.080 is their approach. When they violate the Constitution about gun rights, 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:53.120 for example, about the Second Amendment, their attitude is always, Okay, sure, 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.880 maybe we'll eventually lose in court, and maybe it's obvious 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.680 that that's the case, but we'll put the restrictions in 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.640 play as long as we can. We will break the 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.520 law for as long as we can get away with 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.839 it because as the government, we don't actually pay any 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:12.520 real price for those violations. Ah. You see, this is 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:17.640 in a Lenskyite abuse of the system to achieve a 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.160 certain ends. And this is this is how the Democrats 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.560 approach everything. Now. They have no principles to protect and 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:28.520 so they have endless latitude for their schemes and machinations. 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.280 This is what we are up against. I think it's 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:34.839 important for everyone to understand that it's a complete and 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:39.680 obvious abuse of property rights. Let's just start with that. 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.520 I mean, apparently it doesn't matter what the contract that 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.040 you signed for an apartment or for a house says. 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.960 It doesn't matter what state law may be. The CDC, 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:54.000 the Fauciites, I know, it's Francis Collins who I'm sorry, 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.159 we're charl Wilenski who runs the CDC. Collins runs the 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.120 NIH and somehow Fauci is still the most famous of 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.960 all these clowns. But they can just say, nope, sorry, 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:08.160 you have to eat the losses for a person in 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.839 your home, not paying home you own, not paying rents. 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.760 You have to deal with the inability to evict them, 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.159 but you got to keep paying the bank. Oh, the 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.880 bank will foreclose on you, but you can't evict a rent. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.240 You've got to be kidding me. I mean, this is 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:30.880 straight up comic style redistribution of wealth. They might as 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.480 well have some kind of land redistribution program like they 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.440 do in revolutionary societies, where they're going to just give 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.400 all the land to the peasants. You know, there are 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.039 people who actually rent from owners, and sometimes the people 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.479 renting have more money in the bank, have higher earnings 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.200 than the owners. In places like New York City, thirty 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:52.240 percent of those who are renting properties to other people 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:57.839 own fewer than five properties, which means they're not big landlords. 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.039 And for a lot of people across the country, owning 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.200 property is a way to try to bring in income. 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:08.039 For them in retirement, it's something they rely on to 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.880 pay their bills. They have taken the risk and the 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.480 challenge and the difficulty of being a property owner, and 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.280 at fair market rate they rent it out to somebody 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:23.160 else in a contract situation. They agree, there are rules, 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.520 And now the CDC comes in and says, sorry, we 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.440 feel bad for people because COVID's only been going on 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.800 for eighteen months, so you know that they haven't had 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.240 enough time to figure out their next move. And you've 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.760 had landlords that haven't able to collect rented over a year. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.280 What's supposed to happen to them? Oh, one day, maybe 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.720 they'll get assistance from the government for this. The government 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:49.800 is stealing their property. This is it's not even legalized 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:54.000 theft because it's unconstitutional. This is just seizure of private 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:58.080 property by the federal government. Because Democrats want to feel 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.560 good about themselves. Democrats want to feel that they care 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.280 so much. They don't care about the landlords who can't 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.400 pay their bills. They don't care about the sleepless nights 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.360 for people who own a house that they can rent 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.800 out or a part of their own house. Right, people 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.520 rent out their basement, they rent out the first floor. 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:19.960 There's a story action in the New York Times about 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.960 a woman who is renting to someone who spits on her, 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.040 who throws her packages in the garbage, who owes tens 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.320 of thousands of dollars in rent and utilities from over 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.120 the last twelve plus months. And because of people like 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:38.040 Joe Biden and the little fascist Democrats running around who 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.800 don't care about the constitution, this woman, who is like 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:47.520 a nurse assistant or something, is unable to do anything 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.720 about it, Cannot evict, cannot kick the person out. What 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.040 the heck is she's supposed to do? Well, what the 0:08:55.040 --> 0:09:00.840 Democrats would say here is too bad. We have a 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.719 political imperative to make it seem like we're doing so 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.800 much to help the downtrodden, and whatever that means for 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.480 Democrats at any moment in time, that's more important than 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:17.440 whatever constitutional protections actually exist or should exist in this country. 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.080 And now, as a special treat on the podcast, we 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:25.600 are joined by a fierce warrior for a liberty and 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:27.360 if you follow his Twitter account, you know what I'm 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.439 talking about. Our friend Sean Davis, who is co founder 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.440 of The Federalist. Go to the Federalist dot com he 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.400 writes there, but also follow him on Twitter if you 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.760 want to see him crush and own libs like it's 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.000 going out of style. Sean, great to have you, Great 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:44.960 to be here. Thanks for having me so first off, 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.400 I was just talking about the eviction moratorium. To me, 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:53.199 this is just this is lawlessness when they extend, when 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.040 they when the federal government says we can't do something, 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.280 and then the CDC is like, well, we're just gonna 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.719 do it, and then the federal government goes along with it. 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:05.800 That's that's like the definition of unconstitutional lawlessness. I actually 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:09.800 think that's probably being too generous. What this is is 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:14.640 actually the nationalization of rental housing stock. And if you 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.079 look at what CDC has done, they have gone into 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:21.120 statute and read into something that's not there, saying hey, 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.240 we have the authority to not only ban you from 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:29.120 evicting people, but to create criminal penalties, including jail and 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:33.480 fines if you go into vict someone who hasn't paid 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.400 rent year. But when you look at the actual underlying 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:39.120 statute that for what the authority that CDC has to 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:43.400 do with this, it is limited entirely to Hey, if 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:47.760 there's this area that is having like a massive outbreak 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.800 of something like if there's a particular home or building 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.960 where there's some nasty, infectious disease. You're allowed to go 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.280 in there and fumigate and clean it up and do remediation. 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:01.439 That's it. That is the entire attutory legal authority for 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:05.000 CDC to have anything to do with private property has 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.600 to do with going in there in fumigating where there 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:11.000 have been horrific disease outbreaks. That's not the issue here. 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.400 They're not going into fumigate, they're not going into remediate, 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.640 they're not going into clean up with the assistance of 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:19.120 local authorities. This is just straight up saying, if you 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.640 own a home and you're renting it, we're now giving 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.400 that home to renters who haven't page you rent. There 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.240 are these crazy stories that are popping up now people 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.680 are starting to finally hear about them read about them 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.840 of people who they're not destitute, they're not bankrupt. They 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.840 just know I can't get kicked out. I got a 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.440 year of free rent. I mean, the backlog in cases 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.360 in some of the courts that deal with in a 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.920 tenant court is going to take years to clear. So 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.520 people figure, Okay, so I've got free rent, and if 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.520 the landlord says something about it, I'm going to literally 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.160 spit in their faces. That was in the New York 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.640 Times because they can't do anything, they can't get rid 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:59.160 of me. Well, what needs to happen here is we 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.440 need to have local law enforcement just ignore the CDC 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.440 because I'm telling you the CDC ain't haul and every 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.400 single sheriff in America in the court for ignoring their 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:14.440 lawless nationalization of rental housing because it's not the CDC 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.600 or the federal government that goes and actually enforces evictions 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:22.040 to local sheriff. Usually, when you own property you have 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.640 a renter who's not doing what they're supposed to. There's 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.720 a whole bunch of steps you have to go through, 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.840 and it's different in every city and every county in 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.400 every state. You go through that process and you eventually 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.720 get to the point where a court will say, yep, 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.640 I'm sending it in the sheriff to do this. It's 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:42.120 time for local judges and local sheriffs to say, we're 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.960 done with this CDC. You've ruined all of our lives 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.920 for a year, you destroy the economy because of a 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.640 virus that you helped create by funding a communist Chinese 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.760 infection lab where they are going to go and take 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.679 diseases that weren't infectious to humans and make them infectious 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.400 to humans. We're done with that, We're done with you. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.480 You can all go take a hike. That's what needs 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:08.079 to happen now, because you simply cannot have a lawless 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:12.120 administration go out in nationalized housing. This is the literal 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.880 nationalization of housing. They said, you don't get to own 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.319 your property anymore. We now control all of it. Have 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.960 fun in court. We're gonna get back to Sean here 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.800 in a second and talk about his nightmarish situation on 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.360 American airlines and how this also, i think is reflective 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:32.240 of what's going on with the slow restart of the 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.600 economy at full level and all the problems that come 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.080 from the central planning of the government involving itself in 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:42.720 this stuff. At first, Allegiance Flag Supply is an incredible company. 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.800 They've got American flags that are getting made here in 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.840 the US, and there's such higher quality.

The American flag should be made here right, 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.079 and it should be made with the highest quality American 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:11.160 source materials.

Shawn, your 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:13.680 Twitter thread on American Airlines is now the stuff of legend. 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.600 Tell the folks about the nightmare you went through and 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:21.080 what happened. So I'll just start out with the fact 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.280 that American Airlines is trash. It's a trash company. It 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.080 doesn't care about you, or your stuff, or your family 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.600 or your flights. And I know this because I was 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:34.640 stranded at Dallas Fort Worth Airport or two days. Had 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:38.320 a simple flight, was going to meet my family, and 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.080 I had one flight delayed, another flight delayed. Those flights 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.520 ended up getting canceled. I end up having to get 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:48.360 rebooked to a completely different location, had to cancel my 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:52.960 whole trip. That first flight got canceled, second flight got canceled, 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.640 got stranded at DFW overnight the whole day. I could 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.800 see the riding on the wall. I knew what was happening. 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:00.560 I knew I was stuck. So said, hey, can you 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.360 give me my check baggage? And they said, net, We're 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:07.960 not going to do that. So get stranded at DFW overnight, 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.760 no hotel voucher, no food voucher. They wouldn't even give 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.200 me a toiletry kit, you know, to brush my teeth 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:18.360 because they had my check luggage. So the next day, 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.080 get ready, they booked me on a new flight. I'm 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.840 getting ready to go home, even though my trip was canceled. 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.600 They canceled that flight. I get another flight, rebook they 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:30.360 canceled that flight. I go to a customer service area 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:34.160 which was in concourse a of DFW. There were no 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.880 American Airlines people staffing the desks. I eventually just had 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.880 to get into Uber have them take me to Dallas Love, 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.760 which is Southwest TUB. I had to pay Southwest out 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.120 of my own pocket to get myself home. And so 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.840 we are now four days from when my ordeal started. 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.880 I still don't have my luggage. My luggage is sitting 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.760 in another airport, not where I wanted to go. He's 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.480 been sitting there for over twenty four hours. I can't 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.800 get a human on the phone. I'm kind of just 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.000 assuming I'm never seeing my luggage ever again. So thanks 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.720 American Airlines for being the worst company ever. Oh what 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.040 caused all this? I'm just curious, because, you know, today 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:15.680 there's news about how the hiring US companies hired three 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.280 hundred and thirty thousand workers in July. They thought it 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.720 would be more like six hundred and fifty thousand based 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.120 on the projections. Is this part of the They just 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.600 can't get staffing for the flights problem? What's going on? 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:33.040 So they blamed it on weather on gosh Sunday, which yeah, 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:34.840 it rained a little, but it kind of rains. Ever 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.840 every day. You don't have four days of backups because 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:39.760 of a couple hours of rain. And I'll tell you 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.560 what I think is going on. From what I've heard 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.120 from from people I've talked to who work in American 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.480 or fly there, there's a bit of a labor dispute 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:50.479 going on between the union and management and the staff. 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.920 I believe crews and pilots are doing a non strike 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.920 strike where they're just not showing up to work. So 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.879 I think what's happening is you have Delta booking on 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:04.240 people on flights that don't exist, and just excuse me, 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:08.480 American Airlines booking people on flights that don't exist, in 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.560 delaying them, in delaying them, you know, hour after hour 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.959 after hour, hoping there will be some weather so that 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.720 they can then cancel all of the fake flights they 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.720 stacked up and avoid having to reimburse you for your flight. 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:22.600 So the flight that I never even got to get 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.720 on because it was canceled five times, American hasn't even 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.520 reached out to me to say, hey, we'd like to 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.399 give you a refund for stealing your luggage and not 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.800 flying you anywhere. And the reason I think this is 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.159 one of my cancel flights. Got to the gate several 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:39.879 hours early, what else was I doing? And there was 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:44.199 never a plane there. You looked up the data and 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.280 the details for the particular flight, there was no inbound flight. 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:49.240 So that's kind of weird. You for your own it 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.800 must be starting here. But I sat at that gate 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:53.760 for hours. There was never a plane at the gate, 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:55.639 There was never a crew at the gate, there was 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.680 never a gate agent at the gate. And then shortly 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.200 after the flight was supposed to be departing, there's announcement 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.200 on the loudspeaker, Oh yeah, your flight's canceled. Go get 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:06.040 in line over at this place where we don't even 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.120 have people's staff, or you can call our our help 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.960 desk and we'll tell you that the lines are full, 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.040 we'll call you back after four hours and then we'll 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:17.320 never Actually are you still as I'm talking to you now? 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:20.440 Are you still on hold with American Airlines? Yes? I'm 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.399 on hold on the other line. I have been on 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.560 hold with them for like two hours now, trying to 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.840 figure out why they won't just put my bag on 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.040 a plane so I can get it back. So yeah, 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.919 I'm simultaneously talking to you Buck and on hold with 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:35.800 American Airlines. Unbelievable that I thought I thought Spirit Airlines 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.040 was bad. But at least with Spirit Airlines you sort 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:41.600 of expect that you're going to get, you know, a 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.040 kick in the face. But with American I guess it 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:45.520 could be pretty rough too. I don't know, man, I 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:49.440 just I feel like everybody could sympathize with airline nightmares. 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:51.879 And I always tell people, if you want, what does 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:56.320 what does unaccountable authoritarian government feel like? It feels like 0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:59.040 getting screwed over by the airlines, but it's every day, 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.359 That's my theory. No, I think you're exactly right, and 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.760 I'll actually say something in defensive spirit. Yeah, they're going 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:07.879 to treat you like garbage, but at least you're probably 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.959 going to get to witness like a mid tier UFC 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.360 or MMA fight on the flight. On the flight, so 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.360 like you'll at least get some sort of entertainment when 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:18.760 the passengers end up rawling with each other, end up 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:21.480 brawling with the staff. I don't think that's going to 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.320 get us a Spirit Airlines sponsorship here, Sean, But I 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:29.879 do appreciate I appreciate it, buddy, Sean Davis the Federalist 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:32.080 dot com go check it out. Shawn's a cofounder. He 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:34.560 writes great stuff there. Mister Davis will have you back soon, Buddy, 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:38.399 Thanks so much, Thanks brother, Take care. Oh man, I 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:43.800 gotta tell you, yeah, my Spirit Airlines experience was as 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:48.399 expected with the mask, the mask mandate madness and kicking 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:50.639 people off the flight. But I think I'm flying Spirit 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.720 again soon, so you know that's a thing. I didn't 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.000 get a chance to talk to you yesterday about Governor Cuomo, 0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:01.320 and Governor Cuomo is out. He's very upset. Why is 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:06.840 Governor Cuomo upset because people are saying things about him. 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:12.159 They're saying that he's weird, that he is inappropriate, that 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:18.040 maybe he even is a harasser or an abuser. And 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:22.320 what you have to remember from Cuomo is that he 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:27.199 is a narcissistic sociopath and simply does not care what 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:29.840 anybody is going to say about him. He is going 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:34.040 to stay as your governor, and in order to achieve 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:38.680 that end state, in order to achieve that situation, he 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:43.080 is willing to create a montage of him grabbing and 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:48.360 smooching people. That's right, a smooch collage from the governor. 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:52.359 Here is what it sounded like yesterday. I do it 0:21:52.400 --> 0:22:03.520 with everyone black and white, young, an old, straight in LGBTQ, 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:13.720 powerful people, friends, strangers, people who I meet on the street. 0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:19.720 I have a happy with every randoms and just giving 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:22.800 them a big so much. I grabbed their face and 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:24.720 I give them a big, a big wet kiss on 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:26.679 the cheek. What's wrong with the big wet kiss on 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:30.800 the cheek from your governor? Now? I know people are saying, oh, 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:34.480 but but Biden said he should resign. But Biden said 0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:39.119 he's gonna go. He's not going anywhere, folks, He's not 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:45.240 going anywhere. It's just not gonna happen. Now, maybe the 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.000 Democrats and the legislature will make some noise and even 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:53.480 go go through some basic you know, some basic stuff 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:55.760 about how they're gonna remove him. But they're never gonna 0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:59.280
