WEBVTT - The Lockdown Rebellion Grows 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:15.360 You are entering the freedom hunt. The lockdown rebellion grows. 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:18.360 California has a stay at home order for possibly three 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.680 more months. Bailing out the bailouts a judge who doesn't 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:24.479 seem to want to let Flynn go, and was Intel 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:28.240 suppressed that Russia really wanted Hillary to win? Coming up, 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:32.159 this is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:36.360 mission is to decode what really matters with passionable intelligence. 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.880 Make no mistake a great here, a great American Again 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:49.640 the buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now, 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.240 all right, everybody, welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Thank 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.720 you so much for joining today. May or may we 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.440 have much to get to. The big shift that we're 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:06.160 seeing right now is away from the data, the day 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.880 of the data, testing, test and testing. Well, they still 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:13.520 talk about that, but they're now increasingly just pushing for 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.800 what are obviously political goals in this whole process. And 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:22.399 you can tell because they're going on offense against people 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.840 who want the country to reopen. Doesn't everybody want the 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:29.440 country to reopen. The only reason that you'd be rooting 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:34.280 against reopen is political. There's no honest person out there 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:38.200 who thinks that this is a good situation for the 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:42.800 American people, that this is a sustainable situation, and yet 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.240 they keep wanting to drag it out. They keep wanting 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.400 to drag it out. Doctor Faucci in the testimony yesterday. 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.400 I read through the transcripts of it. I didn't have 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.880 time to sit there and watch Senator's grandstand, but the 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.680 transcript of it was worthwhile. Doctor Fauci admits that the 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.480 second that you start to reopen, there will be more 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.760 infections that occur, and there will be more depths that happen. 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.200 This is what we are facing now. It's not going 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.000 to be overwhelming. I don't think it's going to be 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.400 this massive second wave that people have been talking about. 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.040 But we got to be able to have a conversation 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.400 as adults in this country about what the future looks like. 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.960 Instead what you get from places like CNN, which I 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.280 really have been thinking about this. I believe the country 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.160 would be better off, happier, and better informed if CNN 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.760 just became a DIY network that actually requires some skill. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.440 I was going to say cooking network that also a 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.560 network that also requires skill. You know, if CNN, I 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.840 don't know, like rand music videos from the nineties or something. 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.959 You know, There's just there's nothing that you get that's 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.440 a benefit from this channel even existing, and the DNC 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.720 has plenty of other propaganda networks. Nobody would miss it 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.320 except for the people drawing a paycheck from CNN. But 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.880 they have lots of other options, unlike conservatives. There are 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.720 plenty of media outlets for them. But here's what you get. 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:05.280 Here's what you get from for example, Bro Cuomo, who 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.360 is like, Hey, I'm in quarantine for a while, but 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.399 I was still lifting bro still working up a sweat. Wait, 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.079 but didn't you break quarantine? Oh that's right, you did, 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.400 and you got into a fight with a strangers likes 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.480 to get into fights with strangers. What a buffoon him 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:24.480 and his brother, both the buffoon brothers really, or the 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.560 Bro's Cuomo as we call them. But here's what passes 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:31.560 for discourse. Now you've got a national cable news show, 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.480 and you can expect people to say really horrible stuff 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.360 about anybody who wants to reopen. If you are sick 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.160 of being locked in your home, if you're tired of 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:47.240 this of dubious constitutionality, lockdown order of dubious scientific basis 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.320 as well, Oh it's because you don't care about old people, 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.280 and you're racist. That's the new that's the new addition 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:59.360 to this play clip four. It's an interesting juxtaposition, Sanja, 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.120 that the president thing is about being anti elitist. His 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:06.400 buddy's over on Fox State TV anti elitist. Ten thousand 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.160 deaths are the price tag that their model puts on 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:13.720 this talk about being elitist. If that's okay, who do 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.680 you think those ten thousand people are going to be? 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.320 Who's getting affected the most? The working class, the brown 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.159 working class who's most afraid of reopening too soon, the 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:27.159 brown working class who's getting sick the most, the brown 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.920 working class who's dying the most. They are is nothing 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:36.720 elitist about that. It's everything that's elitist. Do any of 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:40.599 you believe for one second that bro Cuomo, who because 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:45.200 of his last name, got into certain academic institutions that 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.480 he never would have otherwise, and because of his last name, 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.400 has a job at CNN as a news anchor where 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.400 he's entirely replaceable and deeply unimpressive. Do any of you 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.040 think that he really cares about, as he calls it, 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.120 the quote brown working class. This is a guy who 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:02.119 shuttles between a multimillion dollar apartment in New York City 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.960 and a house in the Hampton's which, for those who 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.720 don't know, is the fancy vacation destination within a couple 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.640 of hours of New York City out on Long Island. 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.680 I mean, I really asked this question in earnest. Are 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.240 we supposed to believe that, all of a sudden that 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:19.159 Chris Cuomo cares so much more than everybody else about 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:23.320 the minority working class and that's why he doesn't like 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.760 the administration's plan for reopen, which the Administration's plan for 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.680 reopen has been approved by and signed off on by 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.680 the public health experts that are I think, having far 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.640 too much influence in this whole process. But this is 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.560 where it all goes. You're going to see a series 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.799 of emotional and moral blackmails occur in the weeks ahead, 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.880 in the days ahead. It's already happening. But this is 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.359 what the argument's going to turn into. It was you 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.880 want old people to die, and now it's you want 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.800 old people and minorities to die. If you believe that 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.880 a disease that has a ninety nine point nine percent 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:06.360 survivability rate for everybody under the age of seventy if 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:10.279 you believe that that is the case, that we shouldn't 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.320 shut down the whole country. You don't care about old people, 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.360 And now that they're saying, you don't care about minorities. 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:19.960 As we know, the disease does not discriminate between minorities 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.240 and anybody else. It's a virus. It affects human beings. 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:28.040 But because of demographic distribution in play, particularly in New 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:33.920 York City, and the density and the public transportation system 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.520 and a few other factors add it in here. Yes, 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.159 it has had a disproportionate impact on people who live 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.600 in some parts of the city that are largely minority, 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.880 but it's also infecting people all across the country, and 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.320 people of all backgrounds that ethnicities are getting this and 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.359 dying from it. Interestingly enough, I was surprised to see 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:58.160 the numbers because I think that there was an anticipation 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.680 that we had been thinking that one they were gonna 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.920 be it was gonna be a lot higher overall, But 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.760 smokers don't seem to be at as high of a 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.560 risk for this. In the early day, smokers were, I 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.480 know some. I talked a few about it, and they 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:16.040 were terrified. It turns out that smokers aren't really as 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.840 high riskless. But but regardless, the moral, the moral blackmail 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.000 attempt here should be met with, first of all, the 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.960 disdain that it deserves. I mean, Chris Cuomo is being 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.040 and this whole thing is disingenuous. What does he want 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:30.840 us to do. We're just gonna stay locked down forever. 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:35.000 We're gonna allow the economy. It's the damage that is 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.600 happening now economically. You won't really even be able to 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.120 understand it for months to come, and it might even 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.600 be years before we're able to see the full and 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.440 long term impact of it, as well as the immediate 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:50.960 damage of thirty million people unemployed of businesses that we 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.320 keep thinking we're gonna come back, We're gonna we're gonna 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.880 hit our stride, will be something close to previous capacity. 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.640 That's not true. That's not true for the two reasons 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.760 of the regulations and the restrictions that are being put 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:07.240 on these businesses. It's also not true because there will 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.920 be there'll be much less demand. And then there are 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.480 whole industries that I think are at risk. There's an 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.040 expectation right now that the airline industry might might end 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.960 up having to lay off one hundred thousand people this fall. 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.680 What do we do, I mean, how do we get 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.520 our airline industry back before there's a vaccine? You know, 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:28.000 you're going to start to see entire business sectors that 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.000 are effectively collapsing. This is why we have bailouts of 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.520 bailouts already, and bailouts of state governments and bailout of 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.040 local governments, and you're gonna have bailouts of more companies 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:42.280 and individuals. Now, the individuals aren't really getting a bailout. 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.280 It's a rescue, and it's a rescue in response to 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.920 a government policy. But that all said, we don't have 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.400 the money for this, So we can be honest about 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.000 this and understand that this is not a solution, and 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.120 no public health expert will go on TV and say 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.839 it is to just keep our heads down, stay at 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.079 home home. You know, I think it's so fascinating too. 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:06.360 For all of Chris Cuomo's bluster here about the about 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.520 as he calls it, the brown working class, who does 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.600 he think a lot of the frontline workers are. Who 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.040 does he think a lot of the people who are 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:19.000 still delivering food, who are still working for ups and 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.800 for the postal service and working in grocery stores and 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:26.120 working in pharmacies. There's a considerable contingent. I mean, I 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.800 don't know what the percentages are, but plenty of them 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.840 are minorities, and they're still risking their lives every day. 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.640 If you believe that being outside and conducting any kind 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.480 of business is risking your life, which is what we're 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.520 all being told. You know, it's always risking your life. 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.280 Right you leave your house, and I've said this to 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.440 you before. I'm always reminded of the line from the 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.800 movie Heat with Appuccino where he says, you get killed 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:51.040 walking your doggie, which is true, you can, and I 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.240 walk the dogs several times a day, despite the fact 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.960 that it is possible to get killed walking your doggie. 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.280 All right, we didn't know. And for anyone who's wondering, well, back, 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.240 why are you okay with a two week shutdown? And 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.120 why were you Because we were being told that this 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.760 had a three or four percent mortality rate, that it 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:10.480 could kill anybody at any age with equal at equal 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.760 risk effectively or close to it. You know, we thought 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.000 this was going to be a much more lethal which 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.920 is I know right now with eighty thousand dead, how 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.720 could you be talking about it being much more lethal. 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.280 But that's where we were led to believe by all 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.840 the scientists. I mean, I don't. I wasn't conducting field 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.440 trials and data and looking at what was going on 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.520 in the hospitals in Lombardi or in Wuhan. We were 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.200 told that this was going to be orders of magnitude 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.040 worse than it was in terms of death. So yeah, 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.520 and that scenario, we're going to have to take a 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.240 pause here and see what's going on. But now we 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.480 have the numbers, now we have the data, and we 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.760 can live through this. But you're seeing the game the 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:51.320 left is going to play now, and this is for 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.160 political purposes because they're not so stupid, well at least 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:55.960 most of them. Some of them are so stupid, but 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.160 they're not so stupid in general that they really think 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:03.719 that you can just stay in lockdown indefinitely. There. I 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.959 don't think they're they're that dumb. Some of them maybe, 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.800 but most of them aren't. What you're seeing is using 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:12.640 this as a moment to pretend that they care so 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.440 much more about life and therefore they're the good people, 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.920 the better people, when also at the end of this 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.960 they view an enormous benefit to a continued Now, when 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.400 I say continued shutdown, maybe it's a series of shutdowns. 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.320 Maybe it's keeping us all in phase one or phase 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.080 two of the reopened. They want this to go as 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.440 slowly as possible before the election because they want Donald 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.120 Trump to lose reelection. That is a major motivation for 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.960 them at this point. The left, the Democrats, that is 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.320 at the top of the list. Let stop the list. 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:49.080 They also never even grapple with what the projections are 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:54.280 for global fatalities, because the truly poor around the world 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.719 are going to be horrifically, horrifically damaged. Many will lose 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.720 their lives as a result of this decision of the 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.520 economic shutdown. I'm also going to need people to explain 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.719 who do we blame? As I told you yesterday and 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.760 we were talking to doctor Scott Atlas here about it, 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.040 who do we blame when we start seeing in three, 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:17.760 four or five months, just how many people have terminal 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:22.200 cancer that was allowed to grow and continue uncaught for 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.880 months because of the shutdown. How many who do we 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.160 turn to and yell at when we find out that 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.800 people who stopped chemo for a while now are in 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:34.839 a much worse position and may lose their lives to 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.439 the disease because the chemo was stopped so that we 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.920 could fight all hands on deck against COVID, including in 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.720 places that barely had any cases across the country. Who 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.640 do we blame for that? Do we get to call 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:49.240 up the bros Cuomo? If you listen to the media, 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.920 you're not allowed to blame Governor Cuomo for decisions that 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.800 seem horrifically bad now in retrospect across the board and 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.520 a record that is appalling, appalling us. If he's in 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.960 charge of the health of New York State and has 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.000 all these agencies and has all these people that are 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:10.440 experts advising him, he did a god awful job, he 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.040 really did, but you won't hear that from the media. 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.000 That's where we're heading, my friends. It's just going to 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.080 turn into political trench warfare for the next few months. 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.320 They're going to try to make this as slow as possible, 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:24.000 and they will justify all the economic pain and destruction 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.760 of themselves with two things. Oh, we care so much 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.640 about them. We care so much more than Republicans about 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.280 the minority working class. That's what they'll say. And they'll 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:37.439 also say anything to defeat Trump is worth this price, right. 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:41.000 I mean, anything to defeat Trump is acceptable over the 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.800 long run, because he's an existential threat. Who are democracy, 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.800 as they've been telling us for years. So this is 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.200 going to be tough. The rebellion is going to have 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.520 to grow against the lockdown state by state and across 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.360 the country, and we all have to be a part 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:01.679 of rebelling against it in our own ways. You're in 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.360 the Freedom Heart. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:13.760 When you wear a mask, you say I respect you. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:18.280 That's what the mask says to everyone you walk past. 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:23.360 I respect you. I respect you, I respect your health, 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:28.240 I respect your privacy, I respect your space, I respect you. 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:32.360 I can do anything I want with myself. This is America. 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:36.040 But I respect you, and out of respect for you, 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.440 I wear this mask, and I respect the nurses and 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.920 the doctors. So I'm not going to infect anyone or 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.680 allow anyone else to be infected unnecessarily, so I don't 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:50.880 cause more stress on the nurses and the doctors. This 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:56.200 mask says, I respect the essential workers. Notice how insidious 0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:02.240 this construction, this construct of the mask wearing becomes. It's 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.160 no longer about an individual choice. It's not about your risk, 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:09.040 it's about all the people around you. This is all. 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.840 This is really just becoming a stand in for you. 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.240 No longer have any rights, you no longer have any 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:19.240 say in anything, because it's about saving the people around you. Remember, 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.080 saving the people around you from a disease that over 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.480 ninety nine percent of people will be fine from, but 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.400 because of that less than one percent risk. And there 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.200 by the way they're treating this now, if you if 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.840 you have a psurology test where you have antibodies, are 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.040 you still supposed to wear a mask, that's anti scientific. 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.480 If you're still supposed to wear a mask out in 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.359 the open air where there's effectively zero risk of transmission 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.120 to somebody, that's anti scientific. We have a data, we 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:50.040 have the studies on this. The evidence does not support 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.320 at least some of what the implications are here of 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.040 what starts to sound like mask fascism. You know, you 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.600 better do this or else because everybody else, because the 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.120 collective needs it, they demand end it. Oh, don't even 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:05.480 get me started on the peer reviewed CDC published study 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.440 that said that masks in influenza season don't really do 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.400 all that much. I know, I know people you know, 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.400 I did a little bit of research this week back 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:18.880 into the Spanish flu of nineteen eighteen, and it is 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:20.800 kind of wrongly named in a sense, but they don't 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:22.480 know where it came from. There are a couple of 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.880 different theories. We know that the Spanish press wrote about 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:27.520 it during the First World War because Spain was a 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:31.360 neutral country, so they didn't have true propaganda restrictions on 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:34.760 what their journalists were able to say. There were a 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.800 lot of infections. In fact, there were battles that were 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.920 determined in part because there were so many people on 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.640 the front lines in World War One at different periods 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:47.000 who did have influenza, and so we're completely combat ineffective. 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.160 And it's not helpful to go back really and read 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.720 about because that disease. There was a whole lot of 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.600 stuff that happened with that one that we're not seeing here. 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.000 One of the more notable ones is that it went 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:00.760 after people, particularly twenty to forty so people who were 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.080 a lot of them who were parents of young children, 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.040 and you would think at a at a healthier stage 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.959 to fight off a disease, but no, that didn't end up. 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:14.119 That didn't end up being the case at all. But 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.080 the government. This is why it's so notable. The government 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.080 failed at effectively every level in this and you just 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:27.879 had a rolling series of collapses of different healthcare initiatives. 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:32.160 You had politicians who made the wrong call. You know. Ultimately, 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.879 what you take from the Spanish flu of nineteen eighteen, 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:36.600 the history of it, You look at it and you say, 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:42.520 our public health experts and our government were effectively worthless. 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.200 I mean, the disease just ripped through all over the place. 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.600 They weren't able to really there was like one exam 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:49.160 There are a couple of islands, you know, the South 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.840 Pacific where the okay, we don't live on a tiny 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.080 desert island in the South Pacific, or tropical island in 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:57.840 the South Pacific. So the real lesson you take from 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.600 it is that the government was coming up with all 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.159 these different things, and you know, they were setting up 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:07.280 these they were setting up different medical facilities and putting 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:08.760 out tribunes. First of all, they didn't have a real 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:10.679 treatment for it, so I don't even know what you know, 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:12.439 they were just giving people stuff to give them stuff. 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:17.240 You know, at some level, the government's panic turns into 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.280 just more and more regulations, the same impulse to always 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.720 write more laws to deal with every problem. The government 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:26.160 has just laws upon laws. We're also being given all 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:28.400 of this advice from the government or what to do here, 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.200 and they've really shown us already a legacy of failure 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:36.399 in preventing and then combating this virus.

Remember to subscribe 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:43.000 on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:47.639 get your podcasts. Is anybody this is administration ever asked 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.160 you or any member that they take the foot off 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:54.240 the gas and try and find or any type of 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:58.600 counter measure. No, nothing at all. As a matter of fact, 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.480 h as you know, have me right from the very beginning, 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.440 put off foot right on that accelerator in every aspect, 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:10.119 including the development of vaccines and therapeutics. And as I 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:14.879 described my opening statement, we actually started that in January, 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:20.320 literally days after virus was known and its sequence was published. 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.600 So no, I have never been followed by anyone to 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:27.880 pull back on the development of any countermeasure or any 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.960 basic and the research project that we've been involved in. 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:37.720 You won't hear much coverage of the more praise of 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:42.119 the parts of the testimony yesterday that were praiseworthy for 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:45.560 the administration or where they were saying, you know, the 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.160 Trump administration hasn't stood in the way of anything we've 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.719 tried to do. We've been hearing this montra of they 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:52.880 don't listen to the experts. They listen to the experts 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.720 all the time. Unfortunately, experts have been wrong on a 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.560 whole bunch of stuff. And this then makes me think 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:04.720 of where we are in with California. Yesterday, it broke 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:09.520 in the afternoon that California, according to its public health director, 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:12.360 I'm sorry. Los Angeles, according to its public health director, 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.840 was saying that they were expecting to probably be on 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:21.200 lockdown for three more months in Los Angeles County. They've 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.720 had fifteen hundred deaths from this. You're gonna lock everybody down, 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.960 you know, no more, no going out to shop and 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:31.440 live life. He can't go to restaurants, you can't go 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:35.400 to bars, you can't buy things in most stores for 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:39.600 three more months. I mean, are these people insane? This 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.840 is what the experts the public health because look, there's 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:44.879 no there's no down. First of all, they're getting a paycheck. 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:46.919 There's no downside for them to say, Yeah, I mean, 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.520 let's keep keep locking down. They don't want to deal 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:51.400 with the heat of people like Cuomo. Oh you don't 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:56.480 care about the working class and minorities. No, it's that's 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.040 not it at all. Actually, you know who's going to 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:01.440 get hurt the worst by the destruction the US economy, 0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:07.120 poor people and disproportionately poor minorities. That also will really 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:11.080 affect them, the health implications of the long term for 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:16.280 preventing people from doing any preventative medicine, from being able 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:19.600 to treat chronic conditions, and then also on top of 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:23.320 it all, all of the health effects of just being 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:27.040 effectively forced to be largely sedentary. I mean, I know 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:29.359 people say, oh, you can get out of it, but yeah, 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:32.000 it's different, you know, and you can't see people, you 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:34.280 can't meet up, you can't go to classes where you 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:36.399 would you know, you work out, you can't go to 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:39.320 the gym. You drink more than you've been drinking before. 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:41.320 A lot of people are going to develop alcoholism, a 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:45.000 lot of people are abusing drugs. Huge consequence is huge 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:47.520 cost to all of this. Los Angeles like, yeah, let's 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:50.640 do this for ninety more days. I mean, I hope 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:54.400 there is mass non compliance. But the problem is now, 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:56.960 the closer we get to November, and now you have 0:21:56.960 --> 0:21:59.320 to start seeing it this way, the closer they can 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:03.000 push it to know, the better off they know Joe 0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:05.480 Biden's chances will be. And I know we shouldn't be 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:07.400 thinking about it or we shouldn't have to think about 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:12.919 it in those terms. I think Matthew McConaughey released some 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:16.359 let's not make this political ad nice idea of a 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:20.560 little too late, buddy, it's very political. They view this 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:24.840 as just how much runway can they take away from 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.040 the Trump administration to get things back on track and 0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:32.000 to improve the economy. So the more they extend, See, 0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:35.880 they are incentivized now to extend the lockdown to get 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:40.159
