1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: Three words that I'm excited to say. Texas, Mississippi and freedom. 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,960 Speaker 1: It is official. The insanity in this country is starting 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: to end with the lockdowns. Both the Texas and Mississippi 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: governors have decided that they've had enough, that enough is 5 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: enough that putting kids, putting parents, putting businesses through these lockdowns, 6 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: through these mass man dates, and the government demanding that 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: you do it, threatening your livelihood, threatening your family, threatening 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: everything that makes our freedoms literally be free, to be 9 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: a free society. They've decided enough. After a year of 10 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: being stuck inside for many people in Mississippi and Texas, 11 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: forced to wear masks, forced to destroy our own businesses, 12 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: these governors were the ones that we're willing to take 13 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: the political risk of saying enough is enough. And you've 14 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: got to understand the political risk here. Everyone will criticize 15 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: them for doing this, especially in the media, and if 16 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: they get it wrong or the numbers spike, it could 17 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: cost them their entire political career. And if you don't 18 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: think that the left and the media are hoping that 19 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: they're going to be spikes in Mississippi, and they're hoping 20 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: that they're going to be spikes in Texas, and they 21 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: can say these leaders are irresponsible. You're not paying attention. 22 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: Look at the governor who's actually under recall right now 23 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: in California. Look at look at what he put out 24 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: a tweet yesterday. This is completely irresponsible. This is the 25 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: worst thing I've ever heard. This is the word this is. 26 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: This is absurd that they're doing this. And why is 27 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: he doing it? Because he's doubling down. He's basically trying 28 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: to justify the taking away of all the freedom of 29 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: his population in California to the point where they've actually 30 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: decided to recall him. That's exactly why they're doing this. 31 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: They're wanting to shame Texas. They're wanting to shame Mississippi. 32 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: And there's going to be other states that are going 33 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: to come after this, and they should come after this. 34 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: We know how to take care of ourselves. And let's 35 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: also be very clear about what these governors are saying. 36 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: They're not saying you can't wear a mask. This is 37 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: called individual freedom. They're not saying that you can't wear 38 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: two masks or three masks, or five masks or eight masks. 39 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: They're not saying that you have to go out in 40 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: public every day, all day They're not saying you have 41 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: to take risks or not saying that you have to 42 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: go out and eat in a restaurant. They're not saying 43 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: that you have to risk your life and or die. 44 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,119 Speaker 1: You get to decide in Texas and in Mississippi what 45 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: precautions you choose to take. By the way, I'm going 46 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: to keep wearing my mask. I'm going to keep wearing 47 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: my mask because I need to protect my family. Because 48 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: I have people in my family that are dealing with 49 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: cancer and in cancer treatment. I'm not going to put 50 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: them at a higher risk of getting COVID because I 51 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: refuse to deal with the reality that it does help 52 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: to wear a mask. But that is about personal freedom, 53 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: and every one of you that's listening right now really 54 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: needs to take this moment to spend some quality time 55 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: with your kids and your grandkids, and you need to 56 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: use this teachable moment to explain to your children what 57 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: freedom actually is. I truly believe that our kids do 58 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: not understand freedom now more than ever before because of 59 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: the way we've been living the last year. You need 60 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: to explain them that's not irresponsible to give people the 61 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: individual rights to decide what is best for them and 62 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: their family. You know what makes this country great, what 63 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: makes this country grades. You have the freedom in this 64 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: country to actually live outside. You have the freedom in 65 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: this country to be homeless. You have the freedom in 66 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: this country to become a multibillionaire. You have the freedom 67 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: in this country to live in and a get a community. 68 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: You have a freedom in this country to live in 69 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: a hut. You have a freedom in this country to 70 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: live in a house or no windows. You have a 71 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: freedom to live in a safe community. You have freedom 72 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: to live in a dangerous community. You have freedom to 73 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: vote for people that you want to vote for. You 74 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: have the freedom to live in the country where no 75 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: one sees you, or to live in a city where 76 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: you're surrounded by people. That is personal choice and actual 77 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: freedom is about. And there's so many kids that do 78 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: not understand that now because of the way we've been 79 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: living under this insane government that is oppressing our freedoms. 80 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: I will still wear my mask. And what these governors 81 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: understand in Texas and Mississippi and others that I'm sure 82 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: we'll follow suit now. Because they were too afraid to 83 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: be the first right, They were too afraid to risk 84 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: their political career to do the right thing. And people 85 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: need to remember these two governors. They need to remember 86 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: what they just did. They did take a massive political 87 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: risk because the left is ready to pounce. The media 88 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: is ready to blame them for people's desks. The media 89 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: is ready to blame them for people hurting and suffering. 90 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: The media is ready to blame them for another quote 91 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: lockdown or having to go backwards. The media is ready 92 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: to blame them for opening up their states. After a 93 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: year of living an insane in an insane world, I 94 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: shall have the freedom to decide if I need to 95 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: wear a mask or not. I shall the freedom decide 96 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: if I'm going to go out and shop or go 97 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: to a local business. I should have the freedom to 98 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: go out and decide if I'm going to eat with 99 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: other people that I don't know in a restaurant. Governor 100 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: Greg Abbott of Texas and Tate Reeves of Mississippi, they 101 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: have decided to give Americans their freedom back. This will 102 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: start a chain reaction across the country. I firmly believe that. 103 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: And if you don't think that the left is hoping 104 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,119 Speaker 1: that people are going to die, and they're not hoping 105 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: this is a bad decision. They can throw in their face. 106 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: You haven't been paying attention to what's happening in Florida. 107 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: Look at what they've done to Governor de Santis and Fida. 108 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: And by the way, he has a fifty five percent 109 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: approval rating in the state and it's going up right 110 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: now because the people in Forida realize that this governor 111 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: got it right. He didn't lock down, he didn't shut down. 112 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: He kept the businesses open, He kept the state open. 113 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: He did the opposite of California, where they're recalling their governor. 114 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: He did the opposite of what Governor Cuomo did in 115 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: New York City and New York State. He did the 116 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: complete opposite of what the liberal psychotic left in Michigan 117 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: and the governor Michigan decided to do there, which they said, 118 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: we're going to tell you what you can and can't 119 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: do as a grown adult in society. We're going to 120 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: tell you can't go to work, you can't open your business, 121 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: you can't work next somebody else, you can't travel, you 122 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: can't do all of these things for an entire year, 123 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: and it will ruin your life. And we don't care 124 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: because we have power. Take a listen to what Governor 125 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: Abbott had to say very simple and his announcing of 126 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: the reopening of the entire state. So today I'm issuing 127 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: a new executive order that rescinds most of the earlier 128 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: executive orders. Effective next Wednesday, all businesses of any type 129 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: are allowed to open one that includes any type of entity. 130 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: And also I am ending the statewide mask mandate. Freedom. 131 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: This is what America has always been about, the freedom 132 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: to choose and to decide what is best for you 133 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: and your family. And they're finally getting back to it 134 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: after a year in Texas and Mississippi. What the governor 135 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: in Texas is telling Texans and anybody visiting Texas is this, 136 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: We're not going to keep you locked up. We're not 137 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: going to keep your businesses limited just because we said so. 138 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: We are going to open up our state and we're 139 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: gonna let you decide. That is what makes America so great. 140 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: I get to decide what's best for my family instead 141 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: of being dictated by a government for an entire year, 142 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: what I can and cannot do, how much money I 143 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: can and cannot make. I'll give you a great example 144 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: of just how damning these lockdowns have been. In my 145 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. You have the oldest barbecue restaurant 146 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: in the entire city, and Memphis is clearly the barbecue 147 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: capital of the world. It has the world barbecue cooking contest. 148 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: Because of the lockdowns because of the pandemic, a ninety 149 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: nine year old restaurant has been forced to sell. It 150 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: is an icon. In fact, it was one of the 151 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: favorite places for Elvis Presley to go eat Leonard's Barbecue. 152 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: It is the oldest barbecue restaurant that is currently serving 153 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: barbecue in the most historic city in America for barbecue, 154 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: and the COVID nineteen pandemic has forced the owner of 155 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: the city's oldest barbecue restaurant to sell his business. Dan 156 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: Brown is the owner of Leonard's Pitt Barbecue in Fox Meadows. 157 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: He says business at the eatery is down nearly seventy 158 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: percent from a year ago, and he can no longer 159 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: afford to keep it going. I wasn't an extra are 160 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: we wealthy person? What I had was the business and 161 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: the sail coming. And you know, the first three or 162 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: four months when it first started, about fifty percent of 163 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: my total backup cash and assets were completely gone. Probably, 164 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: he says, never to return. Brown said his buffet and 165 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: catering business made up about seventy five percent of his sales, 166 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: and with all the restrictions, he doesn't see either coming 167 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: back anytime soon. Quote. At some point, it's got to 168 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: be somebody owning this and hopefully me working for them, 169 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: somebody that has some cash to whether hover long. This 170 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: storm is going to last, Brown said. Leonard's Pitt Barbecue 171 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: opened its stores in nineteen twenty two. On their website, 172 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: the restaurant talks about the history and the fact that 173 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: Elvis Presley was a regular. The owner now, who seventy four, 174 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: actually began working at the restaurant in nineteen sixty two 175 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: while he was in high school to help support his family. Quote. 176 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: The first thing I did every day when I came 177 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: to work was cut one hundred and fifty pounds of onions, 178 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: one hundred pounds for onion rings, and fifty pounds for hamburgers. 179 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: And then I just did all the odd jobs around 180 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: the kitchen. I was there about two years before they 181 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: even thought about teaching me how to make a barbecue sandwich, 182 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: the owner now laughs. Brown then bought that restaurant in 183 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three, when it was at a second location, 184 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: and he never looked back. It's the only thing I've 185 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: done my entire life. You ask anybody that owns or 186 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: has worked at a restaurant, this whole their whole life, 187 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: and it's just gets in your blood, the owner said. Unfortunately, 188 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: Brown said, it's now all over. He said even after 189 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: the news came out that he was selling because the 190 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: pandemic has destroyed his business in his entire retirement account. 191 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: He did say that he did have a good day 192 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: this week because nostalgia kicked in and people came back, 193 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: he said. Unfortunately, it was still far below the average 194 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: daily sales pre pandemic. Maybe things will get better and 195 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: everybody will want to buy, he said. Brown is selling 196 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 1: the restaurant and the building, the oldest barbecue restaurant in Memphis, 197 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: all because of a pandemic that is forced because the 198 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: government doesn't know what the hell they're doing, shutting people's 199 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: lives down and destroying even the oldest barbecue restaurant in town. 200 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: If you if that isn't a better that isn't the 201 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: best example of what the government has done, not to help, 202 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: but to hurt, not to support, but to destroy businesses 203 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: and small businesses. I don't know what is You should 204 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: never have a barbecue restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee. The oldest 205 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: one go up for sale because of a pandemic. And 206 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: this is the only reason why it's up for sale 207 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: is because of the pandemic. That's it. That's the only reason. 208 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: And finally two governors had the guts to say exactly 209 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: what it is that I'm saying right now. We got 210 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: to stop this. It's not our job to dictate to 211 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: you how to live your life. It is our job 212 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: to educate you on the risk, and then you get 213 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: to decide what is best for you, your family, your business, 214 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: and everyone around you. I'm gonna wear a mask. I'm 215 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: gonna wear a mask because it's what's best for my family. 216 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: I don't think I should force you to wear a mask. 217 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: That's not freedom. That's why they're telling these citizens in 218 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: the state, Hey, don't keep yourselves locked up, don't keep 219 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: your businesses shut down. We're not gonna limit your businesses anymore. 220 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna let you decide if you think Democrats are 221 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: gonna not try to make political hand of this. Insert 222 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: liberal Austin, Texas mayor who as soon as it was 223 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: announced that his state was gonna open back up, he 224 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: came out guns ablazing and notice on almost everything that 225 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: he's going to say that I'm about to play for you. 226 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: It is all. It's not really about the citizens that 227 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: are hurting. It's not about the kids that have been 228 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: locked up, it's not about the mental health issues. It's 229 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: not about the small businesses have been lost in Ruin. 230 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: It's not about the people that have lost their jobs 231 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: working in Austin and the music district right, none of 232 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: this is about them. It's more fearmongering, the same fear 233 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: mongering that we have had for the last year plus. 234 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: For the last year, they've been fearmonger us. You cannot 235 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: tell me that I mean, and I'm not trying to 236 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: be mean, but understand what I'm saying here. This pandemic 237 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: is so clear that every homeless person I see outside 238 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: has a mask. You can't say that everybody doesn't know 239 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: the risk of getting COVID. It's everywhere they have. They 240 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: have fearmongered the living crap out of us, day after 241 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: day after day after day after day. There's no one 242 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: that doesn't understand the threat of COVID. Nineteen to them 243 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: and their family. Every Body I know now know someone 244 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: that's died of COVID. I don't know a single person 245 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: that doesn't know someone who's died of COVID. We are 246 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: almost died of COVID. Everybody knows what the risk is. 247 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: Everybody does. Folks, we all know it, we all understand it. 248 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: It's time to allow us to cide what is best 249 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: for us. But no, no, no, no. If you're a 250 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: liberal mayor, this is all about you gaining control, you 251 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: being able to dictate, you being able to decide what 252 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: people can and cannot do, because that's how you have power. 253 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: That's how you gain power. Take a listen to the 254 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: Austin mayor and this is one hundred percent political and 255 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: one hundred percent of power play. Acting like the governor 256 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: of Texas announcing us is some sort of murderer. Take 257 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: a listen. You know, wearing a face mask in public 258 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: clothes space the most effective thing you can do to 259 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: stop the spread of the virus absence of vaccine. It's 260 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: hard to find a medical profession that will tell you 261 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: anything else. We should be guided by the science and 262 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: the data. And this decision today is uh. It just 263 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: puts everything we have worked so hard to get at risk. 264 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: I think everybody here in in in Texas, in Austin, 265 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: it's just it's just dumbfounded. Did you know that this 266 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: was this announcement it was going to be made. Well, 267 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: the governor kind of hinted at it on Friday, the 268 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: county judge and I sent him a letter this morning 269 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: asking him not to do it. I know the mayor 270 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: of San Antonio and the judge did the same thing. 271 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: He was hearing from other cities. We were hoping that 272 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: it wouldn't happen today, but this is the Texas and 273 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: the partisan pressures. We could see. We're building up on him, 274 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: and it's real unfortunate that it's happened now. I mean, 275 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, you you know, is this related to 276 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: or a result of the criticism he received in response 277 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: to the you know, the recent storms, the widespread power 278 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: outages in Texas. You know, it's not based on the 279 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: science and data, so it's based on something else. And 280 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: it could be the criticism here associated with the power 281 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: going out. It could be the criticism he's getting from 282 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: from the really far right people in the state who 283 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: have been complaining about masking from the very beginning. But 284 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: it's not the science and the data. We know that 285 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: when we did this in Texas, City stepped out first, 286 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: the state came along later, the numbers started going down. 287 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: Every time we have opened up the economy too soon, 288 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: we've started to see a surge again, and that's the concern. 289 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: And especially here. You know, if you are under sixty 290 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: five and an a central worker, you're about to be 291 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: put into the position where you don't qualify for the vaccine, 292 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: you can't protect yourself, and now you're going to be 293 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: this frontline worker around people potentially that don't wear masks. 294 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: I can only hope that our community recognizes we still 295 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: have a choice. Regardless of what the governor did. We 296 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: can still choose in our city to act like we 297 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: do have a mask mandate for people to continue to 298 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 1: wear it, for businesses to continue to require it. And 299 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: that's what we're going to have to do. All right. 300 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: Let me just jump in here and notice the hypocrisy 301 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: of this mayor. No one said you don't have to 302 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: wear a mask. No one says that you don't have 303 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: socially distance. It's about freedom to decide and choose. What 304 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: he's talking about is mandates. He's not talking about freedoms, 305 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: and he says, every time we do this too soon. 306 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: What does too soon mean? It's been over a year, bro, 307 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: How long do you want to keep people locked up? 308 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: It's been over a year. It has been over a year. 309 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: The liberals that are against lifting these lockdowns are nothing 310 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: more than control freaks. They love having this amount of power. 311 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: They love having the ability to dictate to you what 312 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: is going to happen in your life, just like this, 313 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: Austin Mayor. He's out there getting the media to document 314 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: this moment so that if the numbers go up, they 315 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: can say, see, these evil Republicans let people die. They 316 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: force people to do things that we shouldn't have done. 317 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: The fact is, if someone wants to wear a mask 318 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: in Mississippi or Texas, they can wear a mask. If 319 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: someone wants to shut down their business, they can shut 320 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: down their business. If someone doesn't want to go to work, 321 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: they can quit their job. If a business wants to 322 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: have social distancing at extreme levels, or have three tables 323 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: and staid at thirty, they can do that. If you 324 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: want to cancel in dining, in room dining and just 325 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: do take out only as a business, owner. You can 326 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: do that. That's freedom, not dictate it. It goes against 327 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: the freedoms promise us in our constitution. And I tell you, 328 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: I'll say this again. Please sit down your kids and 329 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: your grandkids and explain to them what freedom actually is. 330 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: Because the way we've been living for the last year 331 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: is not a free society. It is not freedom. And 332 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: I never want these kids to think that this is normal. 333 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: This is not normal. What these mayors and what these 334 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: governors that are liberals, with the Michigans and the New 335 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 1: York's and the Californias and the Austin Texas are doing 336 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: is they are taking away our freedoms, our freedoms that 337 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: were given that were promised to us in the United 338 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: States Constitution. They are continuing, through these policies to force 339 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: businesses to fail, forcing public schools and children to fall 340 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: behind and fail, forcing people to lose their livelihoods and 341 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: not be able to provide for their family. Look at this, governor, 342 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, you know, a totally different state, decide to 343 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: do something different and that should be okay. And what 344 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: is Gavin Newsom, the guy who has destroyed his state? 345 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: What Aavin Newsom do? Gavin Newsom, who is who's going 346 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: to have a recall election, is so desperate to say 347 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: that he's somehow right, because he's better than you, that 348 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: he can dine in a restaurant where he banned in 349 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: person dining. Remember he got busted for doing that and 350 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: then got busted the other day doing it again. He 351 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: wants you to understand that, No, no, I've saved your 352 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: life because I've made you lose everything. The Associated Press 353 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: tweeted out this tweet breaking Texas is lifting its mass mandate, 354 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: making it the largest state to end an order intended 355 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Governor Greg Abbott has 356 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: faced sharp criticism from his party over the mandate imposed 357 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: eight months ago. Gavin Newsom tweets out that headline, and 358 00:20:51,400 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: he writes, absolutely reckless. Yeah, absolutely reckless. Now let me 359 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: just remind you that this is the same man who 360 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: was just caught for a second time indoors at a 361 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: restaurant in a county where indoor dining is not allowed. 362 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: And if that's not enough, take a listen to Biden's 363 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: own timeline on when America quote might be able to 364 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: return to what he describes as so called normal. Take 365 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: a listen to this, the caution not to give an 366 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: answer to that because we don't know for sure. But 367 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: my hope is by this time next year we're going 368 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: to be back to normally. Before that my whole But 369 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: again it depends upon and people continue continue to be 370 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:46,360 Speaker 1: smarter and understand that we still can have significant losses. 371 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: There's a lot we have to do yet, So thank you. 372 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: Next year, folks. Next year, let's just keep kicking the 373 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: can down the road and next year that'll fix everything. Right. 374 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: Next year, folks, Next year, it's all about next year. 375 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: What about the year after that, or the year after 376 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: that or the year after that. Well, let's go back 377 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: to the brilliant mayor of Austin who says you can't 378 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,239 Speaker 1: do anything in his city without people dying because of it. 379 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: He says, quote, pausing will not make things better. Explain 380 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: to me how pausing where you are, pausing at the 381 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: status that has allowed cases to hit record levels in 382 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: the state will make things better. Pausing will not make 383 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: things better. The trajectory that we're on right now has 384 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: our hospital as being overwhelmed probably about mid July. So 385 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: the status quote, the path we're on right now is 386 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: the path that right now has us in danger. We 387 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: need to do something that's that's different than that. We 388 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: need our people in our community here to act differently. 389 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: The status quote will not protect us. What happened? I mean, 390 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: how did it get to this point in Texas? You know? 391 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: I think it was a combination of things. You know, 392 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: at one point back in April, we had really stomped 393 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: down on this virus, and we started opening up the economy. 394 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: And I think three things. First is we opened up 395 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: before we really had testing capacity and tracing in play. Second, 396 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: we opened up in phases, but we didn't open a 397 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: phase and then get the numbers, analyze it, and then 398 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: to see if we could go to the next phase. 399 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 1: We had one phase that came after another. The big thing, though, 400 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: I think is that the community, when you open up 401 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: an economy, has to couple that with religiously wearing face 402 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: masks and religiously maintaining social distancing. I'm sorry, I have 403 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: to now become religious. Well, I thought Democrats were not 404 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: in favor of forced religion. I thought I thought religion 405 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: was bad. Right. The mayor of Austins now tell me 406 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: I have too religious wear a mask for indefinitely I 407 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: have to religiously social distance religiously, folks. It's almost like 408 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: they don't want us to open up. It's almost like 409 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: they're gaining some sort of power by us struggling and suffering. 410 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: It's almost like Democrats are now at the point where 411 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: they're trying to do this on purpose. I wonder if 412 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: it's because Democrats love Americans being dependent on them for 413 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: their survival. Could it be? Could it be that Democrats 414 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: actually understand that they need high unemployment and they need 415 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: you dependent on them for your livelihood, for the food 416 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: on your table, for the check to come in the mail. 417 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: Could it be? Could it be that they understood something 418 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: more than what I realized When Jesse Jackson was referring 419 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: to Barack Obama as the food Stamp President, saying, it's 420 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: quote an honor to be a food stamp president. Let's 421 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: give him our love, Let's show them our appreciation, let's 422 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: clap for him. Remember that line. I wonder if the 423 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: reason why that line was so powerful is because Democrats 424 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: actually got it, and we were too stupid to understand 425 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: just how manipulative they really are. I missed it the 426 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: first time. I'm not gonna lie to you I thought 427 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,719 Speaker 1: they were just idiots. They were brilliant. They understood something. 428 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: If you can get a lot of Americans to be 429 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: depending on you for their basic necessities like water, food, 430 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: a roof over their head, you can control everything they do. 431 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: You can control every aspect of their life. You can 432 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: control every single move they make. This is not about 433 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 1: what's best for you. This is about This is about 434 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: freedom or or excuse me, control your controlling your freedom, 435 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: controlling your future, controlling your own destiny. They're not willing 436 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: to give that up. It's too powerful for them. It 437 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: gives them too much power, which is exactly what they need. 438 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: They need a lot of power, they need a lot 439 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: of control. That is exactly what it is they need. 440 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: They need total control over your life and every aspect 441 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: of it so they can then continue to be the 442 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: center of the universe. That's what these lockdowns are all about. 443 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: And if you don't think the media is just obsessing 444 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: over this, if you don't think the media is obsessed 445 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: with destroying people's lives over this, you're not paying attention. 446 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: MSNBC to Biden's COVID advisor, this is what they had 447 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: to say that California lockdown, their numbers aren't that different 448 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: from Florida. Even they're having to admit some of the 449 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: facts now, even on MSNBC, they're having to admit that 450 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: these numbers just don't match up with what it is 451 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: they're actually trying to do and what they're actually trying 452 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: to accomplish. Take a listen to MSNBC to the Biden 453 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: covid advisor are saying, Hey, guys, Florida's open and it's 454 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: not much different than numbers from California. It's totally shut down. 455 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: Out of questions, I want to start with what we 456 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: just saw. Contrast states like Florida and California. California basically 457 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: in lockdown and their numbers aren't that different from Florida. Well, 458 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: good morning, Stephanie. Look, there's so much of this virus 459 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: that we think we understand that we think we can 460 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 1: predict that just beyond a little bit beyond our explanation. 461 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: What we do know is that the more careful people are, 462 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: the more they mask and social distance, and the quicker 463 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: we vaccinate, the quicker it goes away and the less 464 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: it spreads. But we have got to get better visibility 465 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: into variants. We don't know what role they play large events, etc. 466 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: But you know, this is as we all have learned 467 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: by this time, this is a virus that continues to 468 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: surprise us. It's very hard to predict. And you know, 469 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: all around the country, we've got to continue to do 470 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: a better job. And I think, yeah, let's just fear 471 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: among you a little bit more. But yes, I have 472 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: to admit that the numbers are basically the same. Yes, 473 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: one state's hope and the other state's closed. But we 474 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: but and I understand that, however, we still need to 475 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: fear monger the living hell out of you. Yeah, even children, now, 476 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,360 Speaker 1: even children in California have had enough and are understanding 477 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: that these lockdowns are rediculous. They're now having protests high 478 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: school kids. High school kids in California. Agora high school 479 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: students have now put together a lockdown protest And this 480 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: is what some of the kids had to say for 481 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: things to go back to normal. And every week that 482 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: it didn't, I started to lose hope. We have miscountless 483 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: states of school, so many school events, rally's, games and dances. 484 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: I understand the risk of getting sick, and I've seen 485 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: the effects of this illness or some Why is it 486 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: that other schools, private schools down the street are open. 487 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: How come we are told our schools are ready to 488 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: have us back, but we aren't. This was supposed to 489 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: be our year, the year we attended every single school event, 490 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: knowing it was our last hurrah. This year. This was 491 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: the year that we taught college, made plans together, and 492 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: made sure to spend time together, knowing the end was near. 493 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: This was the year of the Class of twenty twenty one. Instead, 494 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: we did not get to player sports, to cheering our 495 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: friends at their sports, rage at our last homecoming, dress 496 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: up for Halloween show, our senior private pep rallies scream 497 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: the loudest in the student sections during our beloved friend 498 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: and nights. We did not get to celebrate each other's 499 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: eighteenth birthdays, exchange holiday gifts, and make memories that were 500 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: to last a lifetime. These children understand what I've been 501 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: saying all along. Why is it that right down the street, 502 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: the private schools they are They're having a great year. 503 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: They're getting to have their dances, they're going to have 504 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: their games, they're getting to see their friends, they're getting 505 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: to get an education. They're running far ahead of us 506 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: in life. Why are we losing the best years of 507 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: our lives. Let's talk about that as adults for just once. 508 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: When you go back and you look at life, what 509 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: are the best years and talk about just totally selfish years. 510 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: Don't don't and don't don't play the parent card. I'm 511 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: a parent too. I'm talking about the just free, young 512 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: adolescent high school and college years of life are what 513 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: you laugh and smile and joke about the most. These 514 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: years are being taken away from these kids. There are 515 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: years like that that will never happen again. Think about 516 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: all the students whose lives have been They've been doing 517 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: nothing with them. What are supposed to be the best 518 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: years have turned into the years of total silence for them. 519 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: They have not played the games, they have not gone 520 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: to proms, they have not had their graduations, they haven't 521 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: gotten to do even the basic things in life because 522 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: we've walked them down. And the kids are getting it now. 523 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: They're like, hold on a second, Why are you forcing 524 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: us to stay at home while everyone else is in 525 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: the private sector, in the private schools, are getting to 526 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: go do these things. Why are you not letting us 527 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: go back to normal life. It's because it's about power 528 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: and control. By Governor Newsom. Go back to his tweet 529 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: for a second. His tweet absolutely reckless in reference to 530 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: Texas lifting the mass mandate and mandate and making it 531 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: the largest state to end an order intended to prevent 532 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: the spread of coronavirus.
