1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is.

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: What look, and I get that. The holsters not the

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right, You want to

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups.

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm

10
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps,

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from

13
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one

15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: I carry around NW retention dot Com. That's NW Retention

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: percent off. We're opening up America, but the economy still stinks,

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: and maybe we're not opening up America. I'll explain in

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: a second. This virus. There's always been these rumors about

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: it coming from a lab those might have been more

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: than rumors. And finally, a game of basketball, blessed by

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: God himself. All that's coming up right now, And I'm right, well,

25
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: we have good news and we have bad news. Which

26
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: one should I give you first? Let's give you the

27
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: good news. President Trump continues to push to open this

28
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: country again on May first. Now he has this council,

29
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: this Opening Up Business Counsel, which looks a little swampy. Look.

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: I love President Trump, you know I do. But it's

31
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: a lot of bankers and CEOs on there. And that's fine.

32
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I want I want smart, accomplished people. But

33
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: the bankers are doing fine right now. It's not the

34
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: bankers who are being slaughtered right now. Not yet. Anyway,

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: Let's maybe diversify just a touch. But either way, I

36
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: like it that the word is changing, the narrative is changing. It.

37
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: As the president of the United States, No, he doesn't

38
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: have the authority to point at the States and say

39
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: you will open up, and you will open up, but

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: he does. You know, his leadership matters. It matters a lot.

41
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: It was his leadership that paved the way for the

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: direction we've got. When he started issuing federal guidelines and

43
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: letting the doctors do that. It's what allowed these state

44
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: governors and mayors to say, we're locking everything down. So

45
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: let's hope we start leading in the other direction quickly.

46
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 1: But remember we have a problem. You see, we have

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: another over five million unemployed claim today. That takes our

48
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: official number at twenty to twenty two million, which means

49
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: unofficially we're at thirty already. That puts our unemployment percentage

50
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: at eighteen nineteen twenty. To put that in some frame

51
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: of reference for you, the unemployment in the Great Depression

52
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: didn't reach ten percent until the second year. And let

53
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: me clarify why it happens so quickly is important. You

54
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: have to understand this. During a great depression, you're going

55
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: to have parts of the economy or run on the

56
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: banks and things like that. They're going to collapse, their

57
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: bubbles are going to pop and things aren't going to work. However,

58
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: you leave other parts of the economy free to move about.

59
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: You leave even other parts of the parts that crashed

60
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: to move about. Yes, these banks may have crashed, but

61
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: we still have some banks who are okay, and they're

62
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: moving money here and they're adjusting. Let me put it

63
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: to you this way. Let's say you ran a hardware

64
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: store and all of a sudden somebody walked in and said, he,

65
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: I got really bad news. There's no more lumber. You're

66
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: not allowed to sell lumber of any kind because it

67
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: all disappeared. Well, if you ran one of these big

68
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: hardware stores, that would be a problem, right, but you'd

69
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: figure it out. Okay, well, we can sell more nails.

70
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll we'll jack up

71
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: our advertising on the power equipment, we'll focus on rentals.

72
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: You'll adjust. You've given that business some way to adjust,

73
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: which is what you saw even during the Great Depression,

74
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: which is what you saw during the Great Recession of

75
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven to two thousand and nine. The

76
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: reason we clawed our way out and the reason we

77
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: didn't see unemployment numbers like this this quickly is because

78
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: they could adjust. Yeah, you took away their lumber. They

79
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: moved it to nails. That you left things fluid. The

80
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: reason we have thirty million Americans in four weeks unemployed

81
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: is because you didn't walk into the hardware store and

82
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: tell them, sorry, no more lumber. You walked into the

83
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: hardware store and stuck a gun in their face, and

84
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: you said, put a clothes sign up, you're not allowed

85
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: to move anymore. Well, then you can't do anything. Then

86
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: there's nothing for you to do. An economy can make

87
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: adjustments for a depression. Economy can make an adjustment for

88
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: a recession. Economies can make adjustments for pandemics. They've done

89
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: it forever. Look, this was going to cause economic pain

90
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: no matter what. If there were no lockdowns. If there

91
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: were no shutdowns, people would have made adjustments to their lives.

92
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: Businesses would have been forced to make adjustments to how

93
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: they do things. Okay, well we have to be safer

94
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: about this here. Maybe we have to stop this, maybe

95
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: we have to adjust here. But you would have given

96
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: them options to do what they do best is make

97
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: adjustments whilst staying afloat. We didn't do that. What we did,

98
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: and understand this, what we did is something that has

99
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: never been done before in the history of the world,

100
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: not anywhere I can find. The closest example I can

101
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: find of it is when they built a wall around

102
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: Marseilles in seventeen twenty when there was a plague breakout,

103
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: and they actually shot anybody trying to leave. But as

104
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: far as nations as a whole, nobody's done this. Nobody

105
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: has ever in the history of the world. Mind you

106
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: ever even considered doing this. Because it's the end. It's devastation.

107
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: That's why you're seeing unemployment numbers more rapidly than you

108
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: ever seen them. And all of a sudden, these people

109
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: were acting shocked about it. Well, how did that happen?

110
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: How did that happen? You forced it? And there seems

111
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: to be this weird way of thinking out there. I'll

112
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: never get it. I can't count them. Many people have

113
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: said this to me. They say things to me like, wow,

114
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: the economy's not shut down. Some parts of it are

115
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: still open. I understand that maybe you went to a

116
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,119
Speaker 1: fancy Ivy League school and they taught you all about

117
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: the little numbers, attractions and all that other stuff. Let

118
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: me explain something to you about how the real world works.

119
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: You can say to yourself, I don't even watch baseball.

120
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: Who cares about baseball? I don't care that the seasons

121
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: closes baseball. I don't even watch that. That affects you.

122
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: If they would have just stopped the baseball season and

123
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: you're someone who doesn't care at all, it affects you.

124
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: All those people who go there, spend money at all

125
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: the restaurants, bars, the equipment, that the eight million different

126
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: ways it affects you. In an economy, a twenty trillion

127
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: dollar economy is amazingly complicated. As this is, all parts

128
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: work together, so you can't do things like these morons

129
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: are doing, which is deemed this business essential and this

130
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: business non essential. It's all essential. It all works together.

131
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: And even if you're one of those lucky people who

132
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: has not felt it yet, you're gonna trust me, you

133
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: were gonna you cannot point a gun at seventy five

134
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: percent of the economy and say go home, put a

135
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: closed sign on the door. Without massive economic dislocation, supply

136
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: chains screwed up forever. I mean, look, we have a disaster.

137
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: Do you want to know some numbers. Here's some numbers

138
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: for you. Retail sales numbers. This is by category. Here's

139
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: the good news. Food and beverage is up twenty five

140
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: percent because we're all stuck at home ordering food. Merchandise

141
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: up six Health and personal care of four non store retailers.

142
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means. Up three Building

143
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: materials and gardening equipment up one. I love that part.

144
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: Everybody's stuck home with nothing else to do, might as

145
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: well put on a patio. Here's the bad news, and

146
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: tell me if this sounds a little bit worse than

147
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: the good news. Miscellaneous retailers down fourteen, Electronics and appliances

148
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: down fifteen, gas station seventeen, sporting goods twenty three. Motor

149
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: vehicle in parts. You don't even know how much of

150
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: your life is tied to motor vehicles and parts and

151
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: the things that supply them. Oh, they're only down twenty

152
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: five percent. Food services in drinking places twenty six percent.

153
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: For an Oh, let me pause, just for a brief moment.

154
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: Food services and drinking places. I know what you're thinking

155
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: here about bars. I don't even go out to bars.

156
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: I don't drink. That's fine, I'm too old for that crap. Two,

157
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: But you understand that bars buy food, right, and that

158
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: when all the bars get forced to close, they stop

159
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: buying that food. When they stop buying that food, all

160
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: those food producers now have excess food. They can either

161
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: dump it out on the ground, they can start trying

162
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: to find you. But you see what I mean how

163
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: it connects to everything that local bar that clothes that

164
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: you don't care about because you don't go just fine.

165
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: It affects your grocery store, It affects your restaurants. It

166
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: all connects. Oh, I'm not done. Furniture and home furnishings

167
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: down twenty six percent, and for the grand finale, clothing

168
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: and accessories down fifty percent, fifty in four weeks, down

169
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: fifty percent. Oh, but don't worry. Don't worry. Some of

170
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: those businesses, the ones that are down, they're not essential.

171
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: One of our questions and evaluations is how essential is

172
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: that business service? Right? You have to start somewhere right now,

173
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: we have the economy working with what our quote unquote

174
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: essential workers. That's where the grocery store is open, that's

175
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: where public transit is running. All right, So we want

176
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: to start to bring the economy back, move up one

177
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: tranche on how you define essential. What's the next level

178
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: of essential businesses? Are there certain businesses that are inherently

179
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: safer or can be safer? And then let's talk about

180
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: how we reopen them and where we reopen them. And

181
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: these are all questions that we have to work through

182
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: on a case by case basis. But there is a

183
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: matrix and The matrix is how important is the business

184
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: to society, how essential a service, and how risky is

185
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: that business from a rate of infection. And obviously the

186
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: more essential a business, the lower the risk, the more

187
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: they are a priority. M Yeah, let me see if

188
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: I understand this, right, A governor, not a king, not azar.

189
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: A governor is going to decide which businesses should be

190
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: allowed to open. He's going to come up with a

191
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: little list. He has his charts. Well, these people can open.

192
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, not these people. They're not allowed to open.

193
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: They're not essential enough. No, no, we don't need them either. Nope,

194
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: not that you know what they can open. That's not bad.

195
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, hold on, let me think they

196
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: probably can't open safe enough. I'm a governor, I know

197
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: all that. I'll make these decisions. No, they're not safe enough,

198
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: they can't. These people can probably be safe. Does that

199
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: creep you out? If that doesn't creep you out, you

200
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: need to relearn what it means to be an American citizen.

201
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: This is not Russia, this is not China. The way

202
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: these people just flippantly sit up there and wow, we'll

203
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: decide whose essential and who's not. It's fine, Yeah, you

204
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: know what that gets you. Take a look at what

205
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: this gets you. This gets you protests like we saw

206
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: yesterday in Michigan with people lined up miles down the

207
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: road to protest and honk and tell their governor, let

208
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: my people go reopen the economy. We're drowning here. Oh

209
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: but the governor, she seems super worried about it, So

210
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: we just head snow. I've got snow on the ground

211
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: here in Michigan right now. In Lansing, we're expecting, you know,

212
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: up to thirty inches in the Upper Peninsula. The fact

213
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: that we're cracking down on people traveling between homes or

214
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: planting or landscape in or golfing, really for a couple

215
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: more weeks isn't going to meaningfully impact people's ability to

216
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: do it, because the snow will do that in and

217
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: of itself. Do these people honestly hear themselves? Look, just

218
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: because I won't let you travel in between your homes

219
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: or even go see your parents in another home, it's

220
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: snowing anyway, Stop whining. Do they hear themselves? Do you

221
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: hear what we've allowed ourselves to become as Americans? I

222
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: don't even have words to describe it. YEA all that

223
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: may have made you uncomfortable, but I'm right. You know

224
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: what makes me uncomfortable not being able to sleep at night,

225
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: going to bed and going through the same thing you

226
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: go through. You know what happened. You lay down and

227
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna get some sleep. Wait a minute,

228
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: did I remember to set the alarm? Okay, I did

229
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: set the alarm. What about the kids algebra tomorrow? That's

230
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: going to be a problem. I hope I don't get

231
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: furloughed at work. You know what can we afford insurance?

232
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: I didn't remember to take the trash. You can't turn

233
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: it off. And what do you do? You either lay

234
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: there and toss and turn for hours or you make

235
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: that horrible mistakes so many of us have made. You

236
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: go try to find some sleeping pills. I'll just take

237
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: twenty of these. I'm sure that'll work out. Or you

238
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: can try EBB sleep. Listen to this. It's something that

239
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: put It goes on your head. It's not a drug.

240
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: You put it on, it put in your body. It

241
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,440

00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: gonna say nobody's talking about it. Wait a minute, can

249
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: I say that. I'm not gonna say nobody's talking about it.

250
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a double negative or not,

251
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna read up on that tonight. Either way,

252
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say nobody's talking about it. But not

253
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: many people are talking about the potential combat with China

254
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: after all this. I know that sounds crazy and I'm

255
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: not trying to go tinfoil on my hat, but hear

256
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: me out here. We know there's a bio weapons lab

257
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: in Wuhan, No, okay, at a little suspicious. We know

258
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: China lies all the time, not exactly news. We know

259
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: China said this came from a bowl of bat soup.

260
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: A little weird, but still not the end of the world.

261
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: We are getting a lot of feedback now, and I'm

262
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: not just talking about the dark circles of the Internet

263
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: who are just guessing about things. We're getting a lot

264
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: of feed back now about this coming from that bioweapons

265
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: lab in China. And I mean we're talking State Department

266
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: reports years ago, two three years ago saying, oh, there's

267
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: a bioweapons lab here and it's it's like not safe.

268
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: They leave the doors unlocked. Okay, well that's all what

269
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: we know. What if this was on purpose? I look,

270
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: it's not that I'm saying it is that. I'm not.

271
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not. I don't know that. But what if

272
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: it was, we have to at least consider that possibility. Right,

273
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: China is our mortal enemy. They have a bioweapons lab.

274
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: We now have something from that area of the bioweapons

275
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: lab that's killed twenty three thousand Americans and has shaved off, oh,

276
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, trillions off the US economy. That that's

277
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: an act of war. I don't like saying that as

278
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: best as you do. And look, it's not a war

279
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: with China. I view, is even something that's an option.

280
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: War is a horrendous thing. I would never ever ever

281
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,959
Speaker 1: push for that. Look, I'm a bit of a non

282
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: interventionist anymore. In my old age. But if they did

283
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: it on purpose, that's an act of war. I don't

284
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: know another way to put it. Where we go from there.

285
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: If that turns out to be the case, I don't know,

286
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: but I'm not good. President Trump says he's at least

287
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: looking into the Wuhan lab things, mister President. Multiple sources

288
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: are telling Fox News today that the United States government

289
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: now has high confidence that while the coronavirus is a

290
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: naturally occurring virus, it emanated from a virology lab in

291
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: Wuhan that because of lack safety protocols, an intern was infected,

292
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: who later infected her boyfriend and then went to the

293
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: wet market in Wuhan where it began to spread. Does

294
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: that respond with what you have heard from I don't

295
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: want to say that, John, but I will tell you

296
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: more and more. We're hearing the story and we'll see

297
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: when you say multiple sources, Now there's a case where

298
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: you can use the word sources. But we are doing

299
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: a very thorough examination of this horrible situation that happened.

300
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: By the way, we don't do this very often on

301
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: the show. And I don't know the man. He may

302
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: be a saint, he may be a scumbag. But how

303
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: about a little praise for mister John Roberts. Right there,

304
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: You see that media is everyone else paying attention. You

305
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: have the president in front of you every single day.

306
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: The American people want information. There's a man who actually

307
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: asked a question, not some politically loaded hat question. He

308
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: actually asked a question aimed at getting you more information

309
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: from the President of the United States. So again, I

310
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: don't know the guy, don't even know what network he

311
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: works for, but good for you, John Roberts. That was

312
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: an outstanding question. So anyway that it's looking into it,

313
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: you know who doesn't seem to be looking into this.

314
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: It's the Democrat Party. And you don't see me making

315
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: this whole thing political. How often have you see me

316
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: bash on Democrats over the past couple of weeks. Not often,

317
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: because it's not political. It's a virus. We're drowning here.

318
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: It's bad. But you can't blame us for this. And surely,

319
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: surely the Democrat Party is not going to take the

320
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: same line that China is using. Well maybe they are, yea.

321
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: And the reason that we're in the crisis that we

322
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: are today is not because of anything that China did,

323
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 1: is not because of anything the who did. It's because

324
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: of what this president is. It's because he didn't take

325
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: this virus seriously. We weren't going to be able to

326
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: keep every case out of the United States, but we

327
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: didn't have to have tens of thousands of people dying.

328
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: It's not because of what China did. I'm sorry, what

329
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: I look. I understand. You're a Chris Murphy. You're a

330
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: scumback senator from Connecticut. Your goal in life is to

331
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: try to go after Donald Trump and score cheap political points.

332
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: And most of the time I don't care. Politics is

333
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: a contact sport, that's life. But is there any way

334
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: you could go after Donald Trump without absolving the communist

335
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: dictatorship of China from responsibility of what they did? China

336
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: did do it. Yes, I can disagree with our economic

337
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,239
Speaker 1: decisions we've made since it got here, but China did this.

338
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: That's not up for debate. And this is where the

339
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: media and the Democrat Party have been a huge mistake

340
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: in this whole process. Think because they can't help themselves.

341
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: Everything is not about Donald Trump. You don't have to

342
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: lay lay down at night thinking about him and wake

343
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: up in the morning thinking about him and Today's the

344
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: day I'm gonna get him. I'm so excited. Just let's

345
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: get through the pandemic first time. Here's Ted Cruz when

346
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: it comes Kate comes to this Wuhan outbreak, the Chinese

347
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: Communist government has direct responsibility, direct culpability or silencing for

348
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: covering it up. When you had brave position whistleblowers blowing

349
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: the whistle, the Chinese government came down on them, They

350
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: silenced them, They did everything they could to keep it quiet.

351
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: And had they acted promptly that there may well have

352
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: been a possibility this could have been contained as a

353
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: regional outbreak in state At became a global pandemic, and

354
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: the lives lost, many of those are directly at China's doorstep.

355
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 1: I think there needs to be direct accountability. I introduce

356
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: legislation today to sanction Chinese officials that are engaged in

357
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: actively censoring and silencing public health information that endangers the

358
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: lives of Americans and people from the globe. Good for

359
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: President hopefully one day. Good for Senator fed Cruz. Good

360
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: for him. Now, who's the one person in America nobody

361
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: wants to hear from Hillary Clinton? So of course outshit

362
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: comes quote the wire House or the White House. The

363
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: World Health Organization is on the front lines of this

364
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: pandemic foriding advice, training, and equipment crucial to saving lives,

365
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: including Americans. Cutting their funding is not only dangerous. Trump

366
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have the authority to do it. He should know.

367
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: Violating spending laws got him impeached. This moment. Gosh, all right,

368
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: you know what. We have a hilarious basketball video still

369
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: to come. We have great guests, but it's just going

370
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: to be an amazing show and not just because of me.

371
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: Hang on, Omega x L. I need you to remember

372
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: that because there is one thing you need to make

373
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: sure well, I shouldn't say one thing you need. We

374
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: need lots of things right now, but one thing that

375
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: can absolutely help you keep from getting sick, and not

376
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: just coronavirus. Let's be honest. Even once coronavirus has gone,

377
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: aren't you worried about it? Who doesn't worry about it? Flu,

378

Speaker 1: common cold, whatever it may be. You know your best

379

392
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 1: Writer for The Daily Wire, Amanda Prestigiacomo. Amanda, Please, before

393
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: we get going on this disaster of an economy we

394
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: have here in China and everything else, tell me how

395
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: quarantine's going on your end. Please say it's better than

396
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: on ours. Oh, it's it's fantastic because I got quarantine

397
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: with my parents by accident. I'm in my luck, only

398
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: my luck, like my lease was up and then where

399
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: I was moving wasn't ready yet, so I thought it

400
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: would be like a quick little stop. Nope, nope. Yeah,

401
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: So it's been fantastic. Me and my parents, Well, enjoy yourself.

402
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: I hope you get a sippy cup before bed tonight. Now,

403
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: the economy, we now have twenty two million unemployed, which

404
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: everybody knows that's probably thirty million at least. Yeah, the

405
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: pool numbers do not show that the American people are

406
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: ready to get back to work. I hear only people

407
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: who are ready to get back to work, because I've

408
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: been so loud about it. What am I to make

409
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: of these numbers? Is it just it's a simple fact

410
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: of well, about thirty percent of the people are drowning

411
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: and everyone else isn't. So that's the separation. That's a

412
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: huge that's a huge separation for sure. And I also

413
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: think I think some of the wording on the polling,

414
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: to be quite frank, is sort of kind of obfuscates

415
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: from what's going on. It's kind of it's kind of

416
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: like phrase like, you know, if we lift restrictions, the

417
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: surge will come or something. So it's it's a little

418
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: the phrasing is kind of questionable. But yeah, I mean,

419
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: if you're not getting hit in the paycheck, if your

420
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: life's work is not being you know, dwindled before your eyes,

421
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: if you're getting your Trump bucks, and then you're six

422
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on top of your unemployment or you're getting

423
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: your government check. Still, you know, we still have a

424
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: lot of people who who are from municipalities. They're not

425
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: going to feel it like a small businessman would feel it,

426
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: um somebody in the private sector. So that does there

427
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: is a big blind spot. We have a big blind

428
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: spot in the media. And then we also just have,

429
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: like you said, a lot of folks in America. They're

430
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: not going to feel this right away. They will eventually.

431
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: They will eventually, but right now it has hasn't hit

432
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: them yet, so that could be the disconnect. I have

433
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: a real concern, and you can tell me if I'm

434
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: a nut job. I'm totally willing to accept that. I

435
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: have a real concern that President Trump gets up there

436
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: on May first and says, hey, all right, let's open

437
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: up again. I'll get on the phone with the governors

438
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: and the governors, especially Democrat governors who know they only

439
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: need fifty one percent of the vote and who are

440
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: not necessarily in a hurry to recover Donald Trump's economy

441
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: because we have an election coming. I think they're all

442
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: going to become a bunch of resistance warriors. And say, sorry,

443
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: mister president's too dangerous. We're staying shutdown. Yeah, I mean

444
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: that's my stay. I'm in New York right now. We

445
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: just got extended already to May fifteenth. This is going

446
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: to happen. And again it's New York City is not

447
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: upstate New York. But there's no differentiation. It's just blanket,

448
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: blanket shutdown. You are non essential, you cannot work. So yeah,

449
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: you're going to see that from a ton of governors.

450
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: You know, we have Michigan. I could see her extending

451
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: for a longer time unless these protests keep up. Great

452
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: people in Michigan who are speaking out. I think that

453
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: that's sort of what's gonna what's gonna be the trigger point.

454
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: So we'll have states like Texas, will have states that

455
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: are going to try to open up, and we're going

456
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: to see their economies doing well. We're going to see

457
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: the progress there and you're gonna have to that'll put

458
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: pressure on other states to sort of do the same,

459
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: and they're gonna run out of money. I know Governor Cuomo,

460
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: for example, is you know, complaining that he's running out

461
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: of money. He wants more federal money. You know, this

462
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: is like he wants to wants of mecups. We can

463
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: get more tax dollars, so they'll be pressure points, but

464
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: mainly the people need need to speak up speaking of

465
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: more tax dollars. I saw something yesterday, and look, I

466
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: can't say it surprised me, because I just assume everybody

467
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,479
Speaker 1: out there is as horrible as I am. But I

468
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: saw New York actually added thirty seven hundred deaths to

469
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: the coronavirus death rules without even testing them, because they

470
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: just assumed, well, they probably die from coronavirus anyway. And

471
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, this just occurs to me.

472
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: This whole thing has become a gigantic money grab. You're

473
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: never going to convince me that wasn't Cuomo saying let's

474
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: drack those numbers up and get some more taxpayer money. Yeah, well,

475
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: you get thousands of dollars per death if you associate

476
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 1: the death with coronavirus. So there's definitely this component of

477
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, is it possible to have these numbers inflated?

478
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: I mean, we had doctor Burkes herself say that we

479
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: aren't keeping a very liberal toll of this when we

480
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: look at fatality connected to coronavirus. Her own words, she said,

481
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: if they have it, we book it as COVID. We

482
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: book it as coronavirus. So if they test positive with it,

483
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: you are going to have that death logged as coronavirus.

484
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: And then on top of that, like you said, with

485
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: the New York Times, we have New York they backdated

486
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: these deaths, so they were never tested. They're just assuming

487
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: they were COVID. And if you read the New York

488
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: Times reports, super troubling because they're talking about these these

489
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: excess deaths. So you typically would have you know, X

490
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: amount of deaths in New York City, and you know,

491
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: in the beginning of April, for example, that run of

492
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: death those extra desks they're they're saying are COVID related.

493
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: And what that means is that you know, they didn't

494
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: go to the hospital or they're too scared to go

495
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: to the hospital because of our COVID response, you know,

496
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: because you know, as I'm sure you know, we have

497
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: laid off hundreds, i mean tens of thousands of healthcare

498
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: workers across this country because of our COVID response. We

499
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: have a public health problem because of our COVID response

500
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: on top of this virus. So you know, we're just

501
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: compounding issues here. Yes. Yeah, I've been lectured endlessly that

502
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: my open up the economy stance is against the public health.

503
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: It's wonderful for the public health, apparently, to lay off

504
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: all the doctors and nurses across the America who are

505
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: in New York City. I keep getting this word that

506
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: drives me crazy, and I don't know why it's not

507
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: driving more people crazy. Is non essential? Your business is

508
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: non essential? We have Cuomo. I played it in the

509
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: opening of Cuomo. Say well, we're gonna have to find

510
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: some more essential businesses and expand what that means. I mean,

511
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: I thought this nation went to college and I didn't do.

512
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: People not realize every business is tied in with other businesses,

513
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: even when they're not necessarily related, that it's all essential.

514
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. First of all, it's the most

515
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: Orwellian thing I've ever heard to have a government say

516
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: you are non essential and you are not allowed to

517
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: work for your paycheck, not not you don't qualify for

518
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: some sort of you know, freeloading benefit. No, no no, no,

519
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to work. You are non essential, non essential.

520
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's we're in a different world. This

521
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: is not America anymore. UM, yeah, I don't know, I really,

522
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's just crazy to see what's happening.

523
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: And people are kind of just as of right now,

524
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: they're they're most Americans if they're not feeling in their

525
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: in their pockets right now like you said, they will

526
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: because it's all interconnected. Um, they're just kind of they're panic,

527
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: they're in fear. We see a lot of anecdotal stories

528
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: about COVID, and some of them have been debunked already. Um,

529
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: some have not. So you know, people are people are scared,

530
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: so they're willing to kind of give up their rights

531
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: and be deemed not essential. But as we know, the

532
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: life of America are small businesses, and right now they're

533
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: being shuttered. A lot of them will not open. They're

534
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: not getting proper help. You know, they're getting thrown loans.

535
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: Thank you. I can be indebted to you after you

536
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: close me down and close off all my revenue for

537
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: weeks or months at a time. So we're in real trouble.

538
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: We have big consolidation of corporations. The left supposedly doesn't

539
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: like corporations. We've got Amazon and Walmart and you know,

540
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: big chains now. So that's it. I am extremely uncomfortable

541
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 1: and extremely disappointed. To be honest, not to sound like

542
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: my father out there, but I'm extremely disappointed in how

543
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: many of my fellow Americans. Yes, I understand they're scared,

544
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: have taken to snitching on other Americans. We have the

545
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: ultimate Facebook, moms groups and everybody's neighborhood everyone adds one

546
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: now of calling the cops on a couple of teenagers

547
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: shooting hoops out there somewhere, and I just it is,

548
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: it's bad. And if it's bad where I live in

549
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: suburbia in Texas, I know it's bad in other parts

550
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: of the country. Has this shocked you? Not the politicians.

551
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: I expect the politician to be a scumbag, that's why

552
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: they're politicians. Has it shocked you watching Americans just instantly

553
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: turned into little Stazis like that? Yeah, I mean it

554
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: shocks me that a lot of conservatives have kind of

555
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: jumped on board with this um I think we have.

556
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: That has shocked me. I will not lie. That has

557
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: really shocked me. Liberties out the window, and it's okay

558
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: to snitch on people. It's for the greater good. It's

559
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: it's really really troublesome. What happens is we have a

560
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: media that are you know, based in New York City,

561
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, if not you know, Washington, DC. So you know,

562
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: what's happening in New York City is not happening across

563
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: the nation. So we're treating our whole country as New

564
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: York City. And we're getting all these stories out of

565
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: New York City, and we're getting, you know, a lot

566
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: of cherry picked anecdotes that turn out to be not

567
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: even correct. Right. We had We've had some stories about

568
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: kids getting COVID and then of course we find out,

569
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: oh no, it was a home accident or what have you.

570
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: This has literally happened. So people are seeing these cherry

571
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: picked stories and because of that fear, they're they're willing

572
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: to give everything up, even people who have claimed to

573
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: be conservative. And I'm sorry, but this is the time

574
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: everything else it didn't write. You were comfy, You were comfy,

575
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: and you were fine. You can just you know, throw

576
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: your hashtags up there and you know, take pictures with

577
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: guns and that. That's great, that's all well and good.

578
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: But when when it hits the fan, where are you, amen?

579
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: Don't tell me where you are When times are good.

580
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: Where are you right now? All right, Amanda Presstigiacomo, as

581
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: everybody you may imagine is not. Well, She's Italian, let's

582
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: be honest, and for everything else that comes with that,

583
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: that also means she can probably cook one heck of

584
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: a meal. And I know we have so many viewers

585
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: because they write me and they say they're tired of

586
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: eating at home and they're out of meal ideas. Give

587
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: me one, okay. So I don't know if this is

588
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: fully Italian. I think my family does it, but I

589
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: think it's like a regional thing like upstate New York.

590
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: We have it with a lot of Italian people. Chicken French,

591
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: so you can do that. This is really good. Just

592
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: look look up Recipian lin because I'm proball. Probably butcher

593
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: it if I can't remember correctly. But you just kind

594
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: of bread the chicken breast. You can pound it if

595
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: you want, so it's a little thinner bread the chicken

596
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: breast in flour and then egg fry it up in

597
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: some olive oil in a pan. Then throw it in

598
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: like a big baking casserole with sherry, lemon juice, chicken

599
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: broth and bake it. And it's so so so good

600
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: and put some lemon on top chicken French. Look it up.

601
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: I've never even heard of that before. That sounds phenomenal.

602
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, Amanda. Of everything else you said, that's my

603
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: favorite thing, Amanda pressage Yakima, Thank you much. Thanks. All right,

604
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: we have a well, we got a lot more good

605
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: show for you. Hang on joining me now to talk

606
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: about Iran and China and Russia and everything else. Underneath

607
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: the sun is the president of the Security Studies Group

608
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: and former Green Beret himself, Jim Hanson, the man with

609
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: the smoking jacket. Jim, what's Iran doing riding their little

610
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: little marlin fishing boats up to our navy vessels. They

611
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: are attempting to get themselves turned into oil slicks in

612
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: the Persian Cup. You know, they figure, maybe we don't

613
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: need that kind of hassle now, but I think they

614
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: forget we can multitask. You try that one more time.

615
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: And one of the guys in the video noticed they

616
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: had their fifty cows unpinned, so that guy was free

617
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: gunning with that fifty cal he had on the bow

618
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: of that thing. You can't do that more than once

619
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: in a short period of time to the US Navy,

620
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: So I think Trump may need a good reason to

621
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: make the crew in the Navy feel good too, so

622
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: he may let him splash a couple of those turn

623
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: him into flotsam and jetsam. All right, Let's do a

624
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: completely faked scenario, but one that's not totally out of

625
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: the realm of possibility. Let's say Iran they got a

626
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: bunch of people dying from coronavirus, which allegedly they do,

627
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: I'm assuming they do. They clearly do not have our

628
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: medical facilities. It's not a third world dump, but it

629
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: ain't that far off, so they can't treat people like

630
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: we can. What if you're the Ayatola You want to

631
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: try to prevent some civil unrest, which they were on

632
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: the edge of anyway, and you figure what better way

633
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: to ferment a little nationalism than take a pot shot

634
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: at a Navy ship. What if they do we smoke

635
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: one out of the water. What does Iran do? What

636
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: can Iran do when they're devastated? Right now? Not a lot,

637
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Now. Asymmetrically, they can cause us trouble,

638
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: all right, They can be a thorn in our side.

639
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: But remember a couple of things. They are dead broke.

640
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: They're not just broke as a country because of Corona.

641
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 1: They're broke economically, broke financially. The only people of any

642
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: money left are their leadership, and all that money's in

643
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: foreign bank accounts. So if we actually cut them off

644
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: from the last couple of banks that do business with them,

645
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: that country would collapse. It would be cruel to do

646
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: it right now, but that's why they got to kind

647
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: of watch themselves. So I think you're right that what

648
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: they're doing is they're doing a little saber rattling because

649
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: they want to go ahead and distract, you know, their

650
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: folks at home who are suffering. They have no food,

651
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: they have no medicine, and everybody's dying. So it's a

652
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: good time to go ahead and mess with the great Satan,

653
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, and get everybody's mind off the Rona. But

654
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: you got to be a little bit careful because you

655
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: step one step too far and we will splash one

656
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: of those things we owe them for that drone Still, Jim,

657
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: you can call me Genghis Khan all you want, but

658
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: I belong to the William to Kunta Sherman school of

659
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: thought that war should be miserable and fast and violent

660
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: that way that it is the most merciful thing you

661
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: can do rather than prolonged the suffering. Tell me why

662
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: or why we should cut them off and just implode

663
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: the whole dagon thing right now, aren't we all better

664
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: off in the long run? Yeah, but I'm not sure

665
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: in the midst of this mess we'd come out with

666
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: what we want on the other side. So I think yes.

667
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: I've always been a fan of regime g all right,

668
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: there is There will be no peace, justice, happiness or

669
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: anything for Iran or the region until the Mullahs are gone.

670
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: But if the US perpetrates that in a way that

671
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: the rest of the world could say, hey, that was

672
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: a US operation, it's not going to work as well.

673
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: First of all, the people won't sign on because they

674
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 1: don't make us all that much more. They hate the Mullahs.

675
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: They're not big fans of us. So what we want

676
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: is to help hurt the Mullahs enough that they are

677
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: I guess easier to topple, and the people inside can

678
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: rise up and get them. Maybe after the Rona they'll have,

679
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 1: you know, the ability then to go ahead and say, Okay,

680
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: we've had enough of this. You guys blew this too.

681
00:38:54,360 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: It's time Jim A country I find fascinating. I've always

682
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: found them fascinating. I mean, especially when you dig into

683
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: the World War One stuff, Russian Revolution stuff, World War two,

684
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 1: all of this is Russia itself obviously our sworn enemy,

685
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: still our enemy. But people view Russia as being, you know,

686
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty Russia, and they're not nineteen sixty Russia. They

687
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: have an economy the size of Texas, Right, what is Russia?

688
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: Are they resource rich? Are they people rich? Are they

689
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: just overall a bunch of painted rush What are they?

690
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: They are a criminal kleptocracy. I think would be the

691
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: best way to describe them. It's it's the largest criminal

692
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: syndicate on the planet. Putin's the capital, so he runs everything.

693
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: Everybody has to pay to play, you know. I mean,

694
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: it's like New Jersey writ large if you want to

695
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: go there, you know, but he gets a piece of everything,

696
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 1: and anyone who wants to do anything does that. But

697
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right that they are not a superpower. Now

698
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: they got nukes. That puts you at the top of

699
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: the not a superpower list, But it also means you

700
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: are not what they were back in the day. When

701
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: they had an actual empire. So again they can cause

702
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble. Now they have energy. Europe needs energy,

703
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: so the Europeans are scared of. Trump is basically one

704
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 1: of those guys who says, if there's another tough guy

705
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,959
Speaker 1: who can cause me trouble, I'd rather make a deal

706
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: with him than have to fight it. All right, So

707
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: he wants to find a way to coexist with Putin

708
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: rather than go head to head. But we're in a

709
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: very advantageous position, and they're just like China. They're lying

710
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: through their noses about how many ronic cases they have too.

711
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: So I think there's an opportunity coming out of this

712
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: to put the screws to a bunch of our enemies. Iran, China,

713
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: Russia top of my list too. Why are they painted

714
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: russ So I understand that they're you know, criminal run

715
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: basically the way you said. But I look looked just

716
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: I went to community college, and I look on a

717
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: map and I see, by far the biggest country on Earth.

718
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,439
Speaker 1: Surely there's all kinds of natural resources and things in there.

719
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: Why are they not just bathing in gold because there's

720
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: a lot of them, and there aren't that many resources

721
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: they do. They've got energy, they got oil, they got gold,

722
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: they got a lot of stuff. They got a lot

723
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: of the other mid level mineral type stuff that they can,

724
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 1: you know, extract and sell. But what they don't have

725
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: is enough of an economy and a massively modern industrial

726
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: economy that can use those resources to turn it into

727
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: a self sustaining operation. They just keep digging stuff out,

728
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: selling it and using it poorly, so I don't think

729
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: they're ever going to come out of that. That's why again,

730
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: they're another one of those countries like the saber rattling Iranians.

731
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: They have to go ahead and push people around and

732
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: do a little expansionism to keep their people under control too.

733
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: They got to have external enemies and all that, so

734
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: I worry about them a little bit. But all in all,

735
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: we can deal with the Russians, and that's one of

736
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: those cases where we're probably better off squeezing them a

737
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: bit economically and then gouging them for a good deal.

738
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: Trump loves that. What's the Japan China relationship? I heard

739
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: someone I had someone explained to me one time that

740
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: that's a real big brother little brother relationship, always with

741
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 1: China obviously being the big brother Japan being the little brother. Clearly,

742
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: I don't have to elaborate to you. There have been

743
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: a bit of tension in the past between the two

744
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 1: and they and they don't get along all that well now.

745
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: But where do they stand and they still work together?

746
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: Are they mortal enemies? What are they now? They are phrenemies,

747
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: I think would be a good way to put them.

748
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: You know, the Japanese don't like them, but the Japanese

749
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: don't like anybody. You know, that is one of the

750
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: most exclusionary societies you ever want to run into. So

751
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: they have a love hate relationship with them. You know.

752
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: There's there's obviously all the stuff they do as far

753
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: as trade, but the Japanese are constantly worried because China

754
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: wants to be an expeditionary military, wants to be an

755
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: expeditionary country, and continues to push people around in their area,

756
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: in their neighborhood. They're constantly building islands, claiming more territory,

757
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: harassing fishing boats and stuff like that. The Japanese don't

758
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: like it. And I got to be honest with you,

759
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 1: in a scrap the Japanese could hold up for a

760
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: while long enough for US to get there against the

761
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: Chinese because their gear is good and China's is not.

762
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: So I think it's a case where they'll play nice

763
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: with them because they have to, but they don't like

764
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: them all that much. What's our solution to all these

765
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: intermediate range missiles that China has that we can't penetrate

766
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: with our carrier groups. There isn't one. I mean, that's

767
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: that everybody wants to play like there's a solution to

768
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: the nukes, and there's a solutions some things. There aren't

769
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: any good solutions too. You just deal with it. So

770
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: in this case, you know, that's what mutually assured destruction

771
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: was all about. You know, whatever they think they do,

772
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: they do one thing too much, and we turn the

773
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: entire thing into a giant radioactive parking lot. They can

774
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: do the same. Nobody really wants that. Consequently, all of

775
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: the steps below that, you know, the bad things that

776
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: could happen, kind of get left on the table because

777
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: you don't want to push the other guy over the line.

778
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: So in a lot of ways, having that kind of

779
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: crazy stuff makes us safer, all right, It works for me.

780
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: Jim Hanson, don't you always get the best stuff from

781
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: Jim Hanson, president of the Security Studies Group Farmer Green Prie.

782
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, man, and you're smoking jacket. Good to

783
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: be with you, brother. All right, we got more hand.

784
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: We're all craving sports again. I realized that. So I

785
00:44:38,239 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: have found some hoops for you kick back and enjoy. Yeah, yeah,

786
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: I've got you know. Look, I'm happy to see the

787
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: nuns playing basketball. Does be fine, But look I've got

788
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 1: a couple of major, major issues with that video. One,

789
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: where is the defense? What kind of zone defense are

790
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: we playing? You don't put three people down by the

791
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 1: baseline and just spread out. They had that one nun

792
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: in the white shooting in the paint all day long. Too.

793
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: There's nothing worse when you're playing hoops than to have

794
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: half your teammates just cherry picking and running down to

795
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: the other end of the floor and staying there so

796
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: you can do all the work on defense, get all

797
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: the rebounds, and then throw it down to them. Let's

798
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 1: d up, ladies, get down your feet. Well, now we'll

00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,919
Speaker 1: If you're stuck in a time share these stories from

802
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: people who have these time shares and can't get out

803
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,919
Speaker 1: of them. They're shocking these time share companies, not all

804
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: of them, but so many. They get their hooks into

805
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: you and you can't give them up. You can't give

806
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 1: them up or they'll they'll do things like they charge

807
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: you thousands of dollars. One girl she got past her

808
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: time share when her mother passed away. She gets passed

809
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: the time shar. Doesn't want the time shar, doesn't use

810
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: the time share. They tell her she can get out

811
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: of it for four thousand dollars. She has to come

812
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: up with a four thousand dollars check. This is not right,
