Everyone. Oh my, that's 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: right here. We are at a point where we now 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: see the numbers for a COVID case is higher than 7 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: they've been since April. We're seeing spikes in hospitalization, we're 8 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: seeing high levels of day to day deaths from COVID nineteen. 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: And the people who were celebrating over the summer in 10 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: places like California, celebrating what a great success they were 11 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: in stopping this virus because of their masking and their lockdowns, 12 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: now have no answer other than lockdown even more, do 13 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: more of what we've said you have to do for months, 14 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: and just ignore the fact that anyone who's observing what's 15 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: happening here could not come away from this believing that 16 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: this stuff actually works. Now, that's not the same thing 17 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: as saying that a mass cannot help you in any circumstance, 18 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: or that if you stayed home and avoided all human 19 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: contact you would be safe from the virus. I'm talking 20 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: about government policy, government mandates, government's use of force to 21 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: shut down your business and keep you in your home 22 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: and limit your freedom of travel, your freedom to operate 23 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: day to day. Is that working? Is it helpful? Or 24 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: does it just make everything worse? Does it take out 25 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: of individual hands the right to make your own health 26 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: decisions for a pandemic that the government clearly, flatly, obviously 27 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: cannot stop. Can it be any more obvious? At this point? 28 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: What else has to happen? New York, California. Places that 29 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: have been touting how we came together listened to the science, 30 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: That's what they were saying. Ard, did we stop listening 31 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: to the science suddenly in the last sixty days, No, 32 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: we did not. Maybe there's another issue here. Maybe there's 33 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: another problem. People are starting to see what's really happening here. 34 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: They can't hide it from me anymore. So what they're 35 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: gonna do is insist you obey and use force. They're 36 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: going to send men with guns from sheriff's offices, local 37 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: police departments, health department, and I don't know if they're 38 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: armed or not, depends on where you are. Maybe they're 39 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: going to send people with the force of the state 40 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: behind them to make you do things that aren't even 41 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: provable as good ideas. That's what they're going to do, 42 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: and we're all supposed to accept this. Now. Now you 43 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: might say, well, buck, the government does a lot of things. 44 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: The government takes money for me in taxes. Yeah, but 45 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: there are guarantees, you see, there are constitutional guarantees of 46 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: due process, of equal protection of the free x size 47 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: of religion, of freedom of assembly, and these have been 48 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: completely trampled over by these idiot tyrants, who are overwhelmingly 49 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: Democrats at the state and local level. They do it 50 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: all across the country. It's terrible here in New York City. 51 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: It's awful in Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta. Name a city, 52 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: a major city with Democrat control, and I'll show you 53 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: a place that has shown no ability whatsoever to control 54 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, but wants even more authority, wants even more 55 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: power now to make you submit, to make you obey. 56 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: In stott An Island. This is one of the five 57 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: boroughs of New York City, perhaps the least known, it's 58 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: the least populated, and it has much more in common 59 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: with New Jersey than Manhattan. Proper, great place. I like 60 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: Staton Island a lot. They had a bar owner bar 61 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: and restaurant for Max Public House. I spoke to his 62 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: lawyer last night. They had a rally where they just 63 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: gathered together and they said enough is enough. Here's what 64 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: they did to Max Public House. They sent sheriffs in 65 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: because this guy had said on social media, I can't 66 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: continue to have my business destroyed, So they send sheriffs in, 67 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: twenty of them. They arrested him. They arrested him and 68 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: brought up multiple citations because he's in a red zone 69 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: or an orange zone or whatever the color of the 70 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 1: zone is. He's in a zone designated as too dangerous 71 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: for indoor dining. But two blocks away there are other businesses, 72 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: his competitors, who are in a more free zone on 73 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: the same island, so they get to make money and 74 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: feed their families. Max Public House does not. And he 75 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: just says, this is capricious and arbitrary. This is bullcrap, 76 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: that's what it is. There's no science to justify this. 77 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: There's no Oh, look at the data, it'll tell you. No. 78 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: This is idiot politicians who can't control this thing, who 79 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: have been wrong at every phase of the pandemic, who 80 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: only view the answer as one thing. It's the same thing. 81 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: Every time they do more, they do more stuff, they 82 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: have more power, more infringements, more dictates, more mandates, and 83 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: so the backlash in Staten Island has begun. Hundreds of 84 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: people gathered together there. What about other places, Well, you 85 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: think of the states that have had the most extreme 86 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: restrictions and have also been the states generally speaking with 87 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: the worst COVID results. California perhaps an exception, which I 88 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: think has more to do with climate, meaning that the 89 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: weather or not climate change, the weather in California and 90 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: the fact that people aren't as densely populated even in 91 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: the major cities there as they are on the East 92 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: Coast and in some of the central Midwestern cities like 93 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: Chicago and Detroit. But the states with the worst records 94 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: dealing with COVID are New York, Michigan, New Jersey. These 95 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: are blue as blue can be places. Well, Michigan maybe 96 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: a little less so, but Detroit is where most of 97 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: the COVID cases we're happening, most of the fatalities, and 98 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: California is now having a massive surge as we know. 99 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: So we look at what's going on and we understand 100 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: that the regulations, the rules that they put in place 101 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: clearly have not had the intended effects, so you know 102 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: what they're doing. They want more regulations as a result. 103 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: Here is the mayor of Los Angeles who's just telling 104 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: you shut it down, shut it all down. Play six. 105 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: The choices between us are stark, between health and sickness, 106 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: between care and apathy, and yes, between life and death. 107 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: For too many of the people that we love. My 108 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: message couldn't be simpler. It's time to hunker down. It's 109 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: time to cancel everything, and if it isn't essential, don't 110 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: do it. Don't meet up with others outside your household, 111 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: don't host a gathering, don't attend a gathering. And, following 112 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: our targeted safer at Home order, if you're able to 113 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: stay home, stay home. This is equivalent to a public 114 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: official telling you you really just stop living your life. 115 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: And keep in mind they'll say for a week or two, 116 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: it's not a week or two, so the next sixty 117 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: to ninety days do you want to make that trade off? 118 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: Even more important question, do you think the government should 119 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: be able to force you to make that trade off? 120 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: Of the people listening to this, just Americans, you have 121 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: a ninety nine point across all age groups believe it's 122 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: a ninety nine point seven percent chance of surviving if 123 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: you get COVID. Three out of a thousand people who 124 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: get COVID could die from it, and that includes people 125 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: in their eighties and nineties in that sample size. If 126 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: you're under the age of fifty, your chance of dying 127 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: from this is less than your chance of dying if 128 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: you got seasonal flu. That's a fact. You want to 129 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: you want to stay at home and and give up 130 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: the next sixty to ninety days of living life. And 131 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: let me ask you this. Do you think that's worked 132 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: so far? Do you think that's stop this? They just 133 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: keep trying to constrict, keep trying to put more pressure 134 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: and just squeeze down on this. It doesn't work. It's 135 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: obvious it doesn't work. They hope and pray, not that 136 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: the kind of people that call for this stuff really 137 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: pray in earnest, but they hope that you won't notice 138 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: that You'll just be scared and you'll listen and you'll 139 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: do as you are told. That's really what this is about. 140 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: Do as you're told, peasant, don't ask any questions. That's 141 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: what Garsetti wants. Yeah, people are scared, but there are 142 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: other people who aren't scared. I go into an office 143 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: every day. Every day, I'm traveling, I'm moving around the city. 144 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: I go into an office every day. I try to 145 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: be careful around older family members, and I'm very attuned 146 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: to whether or not I have any symptoms. I get 147 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: tested if I think there's a concern. That's it. That's 148 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: the only thing that I think a reasonable person can do. 149 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: And I'm in the most densely populated part of the country. 150 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of the biggest city in America 151 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: that had the most COVID depths of any place in America. 152 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, I want to live my life, 153 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: and I do. I'm not hunkered down. I go out 154 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: to the stores, I go to my office every day. Now, 155 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: I tape a TV show every day. Now, this is 156 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: what I'm doing, and I don't want to stop. And 157 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: I don't think that these idiots in charge have the 158 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: right to make me stop. And as importantly, they're wrong 159 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: about what will happen if they make me stop. Do 160 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: we live in a free country or not? We're starting 161 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: to have to ask this question, do we live in 162 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: a free country? If your mayor or your governor can 163 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: tell you you're not allowed to leave your home except 164 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: under specifically defined circumstances. You certainly can't gather together with 165 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: other human beings. You can't have a wedding, you can't 166 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: have a funeral. You can't open your business, your restaurant, 167 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: your shop, your store. The answers, we don't live in 168 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: a free country. We need to face up to that. 169 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: We need to look at this and deal with the reality. 170 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: It's time to say enough. Not everyone's going to do it. 171 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: Not everyone's going to push back, but you know what 172 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: they can do. They can look down to Florida, where 173 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's some utopia down there, although weather 174 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: is very nice, but they're doing better than New York City. 175 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: They're doing better than California right now in this fight 176 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: against COVID. No mask mandates, no mandates you want to 177 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: wear a mask, wear a mask. But they're not having 178 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: the government ram this down people's throats. They're not shutting 179 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 1: down businesses all across the board, and they're doing a 180 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: little bit better. Think about this, though, they should be 181 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: much worse. According with the lockdowners say, Florida should just 182 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: be oh my gosh, pandemonium for the pandemic, right, It's 183 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: just it's not the case. Why Why is that? Why 184 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: is that observable? I'm not telling you. This is not 185 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: just my analysis. You can see it, look at the numbers. 186 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: It's because the people who have been taking away your 187 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: freedom this whole time and promising you safety in return 188 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: have been lying to you.

She's one that wants 195 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: to make her mark by telling everybody that they can't 196 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: even go from one home they own to another home 197 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: they own. Not allowed. Maybe you'll infect somebody in your 198 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: car by yourself. Idiotic, of course.

Restaurant hours are 209 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: long and hard. He's been there, you know, scrubbing pots 210 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: and pans, telling his staff they got to show up, 211 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: they got to get the meal out, Fire up that chicken, 212 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: get that burger, cook properly.

It looks glamorous on TV, 215 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: it's not a lot of depending whether you're doing the 216 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: chef side of it or the server side of it, 217 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: a lot of long hours on your feet.

You gotta deal with customers. 220 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: You gotta deal with their whims and their fits. So 221 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: when you've built a restaurant that's able to pay the bills, 222 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: you know what, you're a success. You've beaten the odds. 223 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: And this guy has a successful business that's being destroyed. 224 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: It's being taken from him by tyrannical bureaucrats.

I glad to walk 244 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: away for sixty days and let this virus settle down. 245 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do it a long Okay.

This is a conspiracy. 248 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: This is a tyranny. What do you want to tell 249 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: other restaurant owners who wake up? Stand up? This is America, 250 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: be free. I got patriots coming out supporting me.

My government leaders have abandoned me. 253 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: He says, that's true. They have mandated that he shut 254 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: down his business. No more income, ruined, all the hard 255 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: work he put into it gonna be he's falling behind 256 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: on rant. I'm sure for the for the location, it's 257 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: unlikely he owns it. Staff members that he might have 258 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: trained and worked with have had to go and find 259 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: other work, or perhaps they're at home on unemployment. It's 260 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: a mess. And for what Because this works so well, 261 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: Because shutting down human contact has stopped this virus in 262 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: its track. Who believes that at this point, Who really 263 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: thinks that's true based on what look at where we 264 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: are now versus where we were before they were going 265 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: into all these lockdowns. You're gonna tell me it's such 266 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: a better situation. Notice that they can't decide depending on 267 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: which news outlet you check at at any moment. If 268 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: they see one area where cases have gone down a 269 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: little bit in the last week, it's, oh, see, all 270 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: of our lockdowns have worked. If they see that cases 271 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: have gone up a little bit, it's all people didn't 272 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: listen to us over Thanksgiving. There's no honesty in the 273 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: assessment of these figures and numbers. There's no honesty in 274 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: how they're looking at these lockdowns. I'll tell you this. 275 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: Even a lot of conservative jurists and a lot of 276 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: conservative politicians for sure, are cowards. There are constitutionalist judges 277 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: who are cowards right now on this. Because nobody wants 278 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: to be the one who says the government can't protect 279 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: you from this virus. It will pretend and do a 280 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: lot of damage by pretending. But it is up to 281 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: you and your family to find what works best for 282 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: you to protect yourself, to make your own decisions. You 283 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: can listen to all these mandates. You can listen to 284 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: everything they're telling you and go for an essential doctor's visit, 285 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: go to the hospital because you have to get something 286 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: checked out that has nothing with COVID and have a 287 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: nosocomial infection. You could go to the grocery store and 288 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: sure enough, somebody there's infected too, because this is the 289 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: place where we're all gathering, and you can still get infected. 290 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: I understand that they say this is meant to mitigate 291 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: your chances of getting infected, but how much is that 292 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: really working? And what's the cost mitigated? By what degree? 293 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: I mean if I told you that your chance of 294 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: getting COVID nineteen, I mean it went down by five percent, 295 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: would it be worth all these lockdowns? Why can't we 296 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: have a trade offs discussion? You're in the Freedom Hunt. 297 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: This the Buck Sexton Show podcast. For more buck head 298 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: to Bucksexton dot com and remember to subscribe to the podcast. 299 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: Well in Florida, Tuckers, you mentioned all businesses are open. 300 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: We've had things like theme parks, beaches open for months 301 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: and months. We have schools open, all K three twelve 302 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: school districts, private schools, charter schools. We have sporting events, 303 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: and I think that for me, I think, as you 304 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: alluded to, a lot of these lockdowns have been very ineffective. 305 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: They have huge negative consequences. And my view is that 306 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: everybody's essential. Whose government to say that your job is 307 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: not essential. I think it is essential. I think some 308 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: of the stuff in March and April didn't work. I 309 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: think you have to let people earn a living. And 310 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: it's really not even government's role to say who could 311 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: pick and choose. So we want everyone to have gainful employment. 312 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: We want businesses to be able to operate so they're 313 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: open Florida stool functions. As a as a relatively normal society, 314 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: they are. You're hearing from RHND to scientist the governor. 315 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: There is another way, friends, That's what I'm saying, and 316 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: they just ignore it because the people that have pushed 317 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: these lockdowns they think they're so smart. Oh, they think 318 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: they're so much smarter than all the rest of us. Oh, 319 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: and they've got a bunch of Biden voting blue check 320 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: mds who will say, will you listen to the science. Yeah, 321 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: I can see with my own eyes what's happening. I 322 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: don't need someone to tell me. Lost science. Looking at 323 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: the most recent data coronavirus cases. Mind you, if you 324 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: look at the fatality rate in New York is still 325 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: far worse, far worse than Florida. But if you look 326 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: at cases as of let me see yesterday, you got 327 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: about eight thousand COVID nineteen cases in Florida, and you've 328 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: got let me see here, yeah, eighty nine seventy five 329 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: in New York. And you got eighty eight forty seven 330 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: in Florida the last couple of days. And just to 331 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: give you a sense of the numbers, so you got 332 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: about the same number of cases in New York, same 333 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: member case in Florida. And these are popula, These are 334 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: states with close to the same population. Florida is actually 335 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: more populous than New York by a couple of million. 336 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: So what exactly is New York gaining in what way? 337 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: Is New York doing such a great job with Orange 338 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: zones and red zones and shutting down businesses? Cases are 339 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: the same. So we are running the experiment right now 340 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: in real time. Florida is run by people like Rhonda 341 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: Santis who are saying, let's look at what's actually happening 342 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: and deal with what we're seeing. In real life, New 343 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: York is all go to Cuomo, I listen to to science. 344 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: If you don't listen to me, you want your grandparents 345 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: to die. Because I'm very sciency. I listened to a 346 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: lot of science. That's what's going on. We all understand. 347 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: All you have to do is think for yourself, and 348 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,959 Speaker 1: you will come to the conclusion that the people who 349 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: have pushed these lockdowns are living in a fantasy. Remember, 350 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: the alternative to lockdown is not go out to a 351 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: crowded bar as soon as possible if you're a senior 352 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,239 Speaker 1: citizen and let people cough in your face. Right, they 353 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: always set up this straw man. The alternative to lockdown 354 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: is put out all the public health messaging you can 355 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: about things people can do to try to mitigate, but 356 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: then allow individuals to make choices, allow them to design 357 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: whether they want to go to a restaurant and eat 358 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: indoors or not, whether they want to go to a 359 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: store and buy something or not. Life is at your 360 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: own risk. That's the way we should be allowed to live. 361 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: But that's certainly not what's happening right now. Now. We're 362 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: having all these all these dictates and mandates just foist 363 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: it upon us. We were under this terre unical yoke 364 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: of idiots, idiots who think that they know so much 365 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: more than they do about how to make this better. 366 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: I would love to see the CDC director try to 367 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: explain why Florida New York have about the same number 368 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: of cases when one is you heard the governor. Schools 369 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: are open, businesses are open. No mask mandates. If a 370 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: business owner wants you to wear a mask, they can 371 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: put up a wear a mask sign and that's a 372 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: private premises And if they want that, fine, I'm not unreasonable. 373 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: But you see in New York every business requires it 374 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: as a function of law from the government. They didn't 375 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: make a choice. Some of them might want it, some 376 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: of them might not. You have to do it. See, 377 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: that's the mandate part of this. That's the force you 378 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: all based upon this highly specious argument that this is 379 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: a game changer for stopping the pandemic spread. It's clearly 380 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: not what happened in Los Angeles. Why is California exploding 381 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: with cases? Oh they were. California was all about masks, 382 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: all about masks. Remember why they would have mask gatherings 383 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: for BLM protests or for Biden victories well, they were 384 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: wearing masks. Oh, okay, what happened they stopped wearing masks? No, 385 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: so what's their explanation for this? It gets colder out, Oh, 386 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: human behavior changes because it gets a little colder. California 387 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: is not that much colder. Saying so, what's their explanation. 388 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: They don't have one. They don't have one. Their explanation 389 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: is mask up, shut up, do what you're told. That's 390 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: all they have to say to you. And the CDC 391 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: director is entirely unhelpful in this regard Play seven. The 392 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: time for debating whether or not mask work or not 393 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: is over. We clearly have scientific evidence. You couple that 394 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: with social distancing, handwashing, being smart about crowds, doing things 395 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: more outside than inside. These are critical mitigation steps which 396 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: to many people seem simple and they don't really think 397 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: you could have much of an impact. But the reality 398 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: is they're very, very powerful tools. They have an enormous impact, 399 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: and right now it is so important that we recommit 400 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: ourselves to this mitigation as we now begin to turn 401 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: the corner with the vaccine. But the reality is December 402 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: and January and February are going to be rough times. 403 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: I actually believe They're going to be the most difficult 404 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: time in the public health history of this nation, largely 405 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: because of the stress that's going to put on our 406 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: healthcare system. Wait, but we're going to do all the mitigation. 407 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: So how do you know it's going to be the 408 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: worst winter we've ever had in public health? I don't understand. 409 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: Notice this doesn't add up. It doesn't make any sense. 410 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: How he says, it's very powerful tools. A very powerful 411 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,959 Speaker 1: tool is everybody masks up, everybody's social distances. And let 412 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: you say one city and cases drop thirty percent, fifty 413 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: percent within a couple of weeks. That's a powerful tool. 414 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: Do you think does anyone think that's going to happen? Oh? No, 415 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: maybe maybe it slows the rate, not even the full duration, 416 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: slows the rate of the spread, meaning the speed the 417 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: velocity of spread by what five percent? Ten percent? Okay, Well, 418 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: how many businesses are you willing to bankrupt? How many 419 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: suicides are you willing to you know, essentially push people 420 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: toward how much depression and despair? And how many seniors 421 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: die alone in hospitals, die alone in nursing homes because 422 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: they're not allowed to see their loved ones. They haven't 423 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: been able to for a long time. I just won't 424 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: know at what cost for that five percent slower spread 425 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: or ten And I'm making up the numbers we see. 426 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: I tell you I'm honest when I say I'm just 427 00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: making I'm just taking guesses. That's what they are doing. Two. 428 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: Don't you think if the CDC director and all these 429 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: journals out there had clear evidence, don't you think that 430 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: they would present it. We would all know what it is. 431 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: Where is this where is this notice? He said, evidence 432 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: not proof. I want proof. You're gonna have government mandates. 433 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: You're gonna destroy businesses and ruin lives because you say 434 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: you're protecting lives by having a government mandate to shut 435 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: down some businesses. Remember it's not all businesses. If they 436 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: did a full on lockdown, everyone must stay home. You 437 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 1: cannot leave. We will arrest you on site. Yeah, that 438 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: would bring the spread down. You know, I'm sure within 439 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: two weeks you'd see, you know, eighty percent drop or 440 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: a seventy percent drop, maybe more. But here's the problem 441 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: with that. Society would crumble. People would freak out. How 442 00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: do we get people what they need? How do we 443 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: can how do we get essential day to day needs 444 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: tended to if you can't even leave your home. We 445 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: don't have the infrastructure for that. We have no way 446 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: of getting everyone food. You're gonna tell people they need 447 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: to starve for two weeks. It's lives at stake. Most 448 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,479 Speaker 1: Americans have a little reserves in the belly. They'll be okay, 449 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: right now. I understand this is just a thought experiment, 450 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: But think, think through it. Let's say we did that. 451 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: Let's say we listen to them. We went to the 452 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: most extreme possible version of the mitigation, as Fauci calls it. 453 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: Two weeks. No one's allowed to leave their home. You're 454 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: gonna be arrested on site. And we bring that curve 455 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: way down. We crushed that curve. Then what happens, Okay, 456 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: we did our two weeks. We did our two weeks, 457 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 1: So then we now we can go out a little bit. 458 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: Right now, we can start going to stores and weight 459 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: and what happens then, oh, that's right. The virus starts 460 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: spreading all over again. And they'll say, oh no, but 461 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: let's try to you know, tight trait this. Let's try 462 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: to try to mitigate this a little bit. Now does work? 463 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: It's going to spread. The only way to get this 464 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: thing to stop spreading, is to get human beings to 465 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: not be in contact with each other and not live 466 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: their lives at all. That's it, all this other stuff 467 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 1: of oh, you can only go here, but you can't 468 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: go there. You can wear a mask going to the 469 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: bathroom in the restaurant, but not when you sit down 470 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: to the restaurant. You can go to restaurant outside, but 471 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: you can't go to a restaurant inside unless you're Gavin Newsom. 472 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: And then you can go to French laundry with ten 473 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: people because you're special. Right, we see what's going on here, 474 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: We understand what's happening. Don't let them bully you into 475 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: foregoing your own ability to think these problems through. You're 476 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: in the freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 477 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: Get more from Buck by following him on social media 478 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: at Buck Sexton on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. President Trump 479 00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: spent forty five minutes giving a speech yesterday laying out 480 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: all of his concerns and yes, allegations about voter fraud 481 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: in this election. I watched it, and then I went 482 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: and read through the transcript afterwards to make sure I'm 483 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: as up to speed as possible. On absolutely all of 484 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: what's happening here. I'm talking to people in the campaign 485 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: legal team and others who are doing data crunching for them, 486 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: because this is a lot of complicated issues, and I 487 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: keep saying this time is not on our side. It 488 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: is now the first week of December. This is going 489 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: to be I'm just telling you, this is going to 490 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: be over and done with based on the system right 491 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: now before the new year. That's what's likely to happen, 492 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: unless you get a judge between now and then to 493 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: make a really big decision. Now, I think Pennsylvania, as 494 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: I've told you, is the strongest place for there to 495 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: be a real legal challenge that would either decertify the 496 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: vote because it cannot be certified because they cannot prove 497 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: that it has done fairly and legally. But I think 498 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: that judge a judge will be very it'll be very 499 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: very high barred or to meet. And like I'm just 500 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: telling the truth I know right now and I want 501 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: you all to be aware of this. There is a 502 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: little bit of a squabbling from the scraps from the 503 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: MAGA table going on in conservative media, and there are 504 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: some people who figure it doesn't matter what I do 505 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: between now and the end of January. All that really, 506 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: you know, what I say, how wrong I may be, 507 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: all that matters is that I seem like I'm the 508 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: real fighter. Look, I'm telling you that Trump needs to 509 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: fight this thing to the end. But I'm also realistic. 510 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: You know, I'm coming at this with open eyes about 511 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: the chances of success. They're not zero, but they're not high. 512 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: People are welcome to criticize me, tell me that I'm wrong. 513 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: I hope those people, especially those who have been following 514 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: me or known me for years, will come back if 515 00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,479 Speaker 1: I'm right, which, as we all know well, and say it. 516 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: But come back and tell me, Wow, you were right. 517 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: We fought it. But your your prediction on the chances 518 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: here and now, Why does it matter what the chances? 519 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: It matters because we need to manage our expectations. We 520 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: need to understand that this Georgia runoff on January fifth, 521 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: we better damn sure get out there with everything we've 522 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: got as conservatives. Every Republican in a state of Georgia 523 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: needs to go out there and vote, and we need 524 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: to make sure that there's not fraud going on there. 525 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: You know, we need to We still have a battle 526 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: to fight here. Friends. Even if Trump wins, We've got 527 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: a battle to fight. There's a lot of stuff going 528 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: on here. So now I'll let you hear from the President. 529 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: This was This was part of his statement Play one. 530 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: This may be the most important speech I've ever made. 531 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: I want to provide an update on our ongoing efforts 532 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: to expose the tremendous voter fraud and irregularities which took 533 00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: place during the ridiculously long November third election. We used 534 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: to have what was called election day. Now we have 535 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: election days, weeks and months, and lots of bad things 536 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: happened during this ridiculous period of time, especially when you 537 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: have to prove almost nothing to exercise our greatest privilege, 538 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: the right to vote. As President, I have no higher 539 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: duty than to defend the laws and the constitution of 540 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: the United States. That is why I am determined to 541 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: protect our election system, which is now under coordinated assault 542 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: and siege. President saying here that it is his duty 543 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: as commander in chief to make sure that he looks 544 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: into this with everything that he can, that they do 545 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: the due diligence the investigation, and they present facts both 546 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: in a court of law and a court of public opinion. 547 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: The president continued play two for months leading up to 548 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: the presidential election. We were warned that we should not 549 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: declare a premature victory. We were told repeatedly that it 550 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: would take weeks, if not months, to determine the winner, 551 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: to count the absentee ballots, and to verify the results. 552 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: My opponent was told to stay away from the election, 553 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: don't campaign, we don't need you. We've got it. This 554 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: election is done. In fact, they were acting like they 555 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: already knew what the outcome was going to be. They 556 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: had it covered, and perhaps they did. Very sadly for 557 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: our country, it was all very, very strange. Within days 558 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: after the election, we witnessed an orchestrated effort to anoint 559 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: a winner even while many key states were still being counted. 560 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: The constitutional process must be allowed to continue. We are 561 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: going to defend the honesty of the vote by ensuring 562 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,719 Speaker 1: that every legal ballot is counted and that no illegal 563 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: ballot is This is not just about honoring the votes 564 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: of seventy four million Americans who voted from me. It's 565 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: about ensuring that Americans can have faith in this election 566 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: and in all future elections. It is about that the 567 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 1: president has a duty here despite what all the media 568 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: is saying and their claims that he's he's crazy and 569 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: this is insane and this is a coup. Whether you know, 570 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: all the hysterics from them, I'm actually almost impressed that 571 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 1: they haven't exhausted themselves with their Trump is destroying the 572 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: Republic and all the hyper ventilating. You would think after 573 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: a while it would just get tiresome from them, but 574 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: it's but it's not. There is a case being presented 575 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: today in Nevada about voter fraud alleged to have alleged 576 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: to have occurred there. We've already seen the case presented 577 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: in Michigan, and in Arizona and in Pennsylvania, and now 578 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: it's battlefield Georgia that a lot of people are focused on. 579 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,280 Speaker 1: We stay in this fight, friends, win or lose.

Alexandra Ocasio Cortez is the ideological leader 583 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: of the Democrat left. We all know this, right. She 584 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: can do whatever she wants on social media all of 585 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: a sudden world trend, and all the all the idiot 586 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:39,439 Speaker 1: leftists who think that MSNBC is really high, high level 587 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,879 Speaker 1: intellectual stuff. They say, yeah, AOC, she's great, she knows 588 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 1: what's up, social justice, wokeness, all that stuff. Right, we 589 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: know that that's it's just the way it is. But 590 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: today this is, this is it's trending and it's amazing. 591 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:04,879 Speaker 1: AOC has AOC has opened a store online and this 592 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: is my favorite one. This is all over sociopedia. Now 593 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: she is selling a sweatshirt that says tax the rich. Like, yeah, 594 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: tax the rich, tax the tax the rich people. How 595 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: much do you think AOC's tax the rich sweatshirt retails 596 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: for right now? This is this is the AOC store. 597 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's capitalism. Do you think she's gonna give, 598 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, half of the proceeds of this to underprivileged families? 599 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: You think that she's got or more? You think that 600 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: this is just being run out of the kindness of 601 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: our heart. No, I'm sure she's gonna make millions off 602 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: of this. She's a brand now, AOC is a brand, 603 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 1: and I think that she recognizes that she wants to 604 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: be a a very powerful democrat for a long time 605 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: to come. And you need money. I always think of 606 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 1: AOC as appelacion derogene control, which is the French for 607 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,240 Speaker 1: where a wine comes from. If you ever see AOC, 608 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: there used to be a great little French place, probably 609 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: gone now in the West Village called AOC. So you 610 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: can either have it be Alexandro Ocasio Cortez or appelacion control, 611 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 1: either one both aocs. And she's selling this sweatshirt for 612 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: sixty five dollars. Sixty five dollars, that's an expensive sweatshirt, 613 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: brucer mark. Have you ever bought a sixty five dollars sweatshirt? 614 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: Certain ones? Yeah, okay, so you tell me that's not that. 615 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: That seems kind of pricey to me. That seems like 616 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: I could probably get a Polo sweatshirt or something kind 617 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: of fancy for that. It's reasonable for something with a 618 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: logo or something on it. Shore, I guess, okay, so breaday, 619 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: but we will hold up. But see that's a perfect point, 620 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,760 Speaker 1: because you know, if you're buying that, I was gonna 621 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 1: says Jersey, But I don't want you to throw things 622 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: at me. If you're buying that sweatshirt at Mets Stadium, 623 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: they're taking a big It's you're not just paying for 624 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: the sweatshirt. You gotta pay for the name usage and 625 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: the profit and everything else, right, so you're getting so yeah, 626 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 1: I think that's that's what I would assume if you were, 627 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 1: if you were buying from one of them. Don't they 628 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: sell like gear at the stadiums right, So if you're 629 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: buying a stadium sweatshirt, it probably sixty five or seventy bucks. Yes, 630 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: even online, that's what they retail for you. Yeah, okay, 631 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: but this is a tax the rich sweatshirt. I can 632 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 1: assure you it doesn't cost or sixty dollars to make this. 633 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: She's doing this to make a profit. Oh that's great, 634 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: sixty five dollars. Let me see what other gear is. 635 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:47,280 Speaker 1: She's got tax the rich drink water and don't be racist? 636 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: What else do we have? Student debt with a line 637 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: through it? And the Green New Deal. It's like a 638 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: painting of her with the Green New Deal. I love it. 639 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: I think I think AOC for our side is great. 640 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 1: I think the more people could see this, the better, 641 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 1: the more they come to understand that this is someone 642 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: who is elevated among Democrats, a person who I think 643 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: if you sat in a room with her and tried 644 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,720 Speaker 1: to solve relatively simple problems. You would say, oh my god, 645 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: this woman is an imbecile. But she's one of the 646 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: most powerful Democrats in the country. And I mean, this 647 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: is somebody who thinks that it's a great slam on 648 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: her critics to say that she won some kind of 649 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: a science award in high school. Yeah. Yeah, that's when 650 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: you have millions and millions of followers, that's what you do. 651 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you this right now, and you 652 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 1: may not like hearing this, but but you will. You 653 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: will listen to me say it, and most of you 654 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: will know it's the truth. And don't give I can 655 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: already feel heads shaking across the country because you know 656 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna say. You know what I'm gonna say, 657 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: Okazio Cortez could very well be the Democrat president of 658 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 1: the United States at some point in the future. I 659 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 1: know you don't want to hear it, but it's true 660 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:13,320 Speaker 1: because it's all about the story, the media, the narrative. 661 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: That's all that matters. Joe Biden thinks he just won 662 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,840 Speaker 1: the presidential election. The media has already declared him the winner. 663 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,919 Speaker 1: If they can make Joe Biden president, they can make 664 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 1: anybody president. That's what they're thinking. Why do you think 665 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: there's so much jubilation. One of the big issues for 666 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: the media, One of the big problems they had in 667 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen was that Trump's victory seemed to be a 668 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 1: repudiation of the media's ability, in its own mind to 669 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: be able to declare who should win the presidency and 670 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:52,800 Speaker 1: to make it so, to make it happen. Oh, Kazi 671 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: Cortez tweeted this out. Republicans are freaking out because we 672 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,879 Speaker 1: don't use slave wage labor for merchandise that funds grab 673 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: roots organizing. What's the difference between Trump's merchant ours ours 674 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: is made in the USA? Yeah, but Trump is a 675 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: capitalist AOC. Trump is trying to make a profit. His 676 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: ideology is I am trying to run a business. AOC's 677 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,240 Speaker 1: ideology is I want to take money for everybody else 678 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: to give it to preferred constituencies using government force, while 679 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: I get to be a millionaire. AOC, if she's not 680 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,439 Speaker 1: already worth over a million dollars, which I'm sure she is, 681 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 1: is going to be worth millions and millions of dollars. 682 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: Politics and celebrity are now one and the same. Right 683 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: politicians have turned into I mean at a high level. 684 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: Politicians are all now celebrities with countless ways to monetize, 685 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: and that's what they do. And not only in shady 686 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: ways like Joe Biden and his son and China and Ukraine. Right, 687 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: we all know about that, but in more standard ways. 688 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,880 Speaker 1: They give you a book deal, doesn't matter how many books. 689 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: The good authors, you know, the established brands that are writing, 690 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 1: you know, thriller novels that sell you know, a million, 691 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: two million copies each and all this they at publishing 692 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,919 Speaker 1: houses they pay for giving someone like AOC a book 693 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,879 Speaker 1: advance that's large. Look, she'll sell books too, but they'll 694 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: give her more money than she's worth because it's a 695 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: prestige thing for the big publishing houses. It's about the 696 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:29,839 Speaker 1: prestige that they bring to it. So yeah, Republicans are 697 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: freaking out. Now, we're not freaking out. We just think 698 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: it's funny. We think it's funny because she's supposed to 699 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: be so anti capitalist. And like I've told you, I 700 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: guarantee you that AOC will be within the next if 701 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: she's not already, there'll be a report that comes out 702 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 1: in the next four years. Right, So we'll say the 703 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,879 Speaker 1: next presidential administration. You'll find out that AOC, who's what 704 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 1: thirty years old, close to it, is worth five to 705 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,399 Speaker 1: ten million dollars at least at least, so she's going 706 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: to be very rich at a very young age, running 707 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: around telling everybody about how bad rich people are and 708 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 1: how they need to be taxed more and even more 709 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 1: than that. I mean this is great because really AOC 710 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 1: is going to turn into an experiment of liberalism in 711 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,320 Speaker 1: real time. We'll see that she says all this stuff, 712 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: and just like Elizabeth Warren and these other phonies, but 713 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: when there's an opportunity for her to make some make 714 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 1: some extra cash, she not only is gonna jump on it, 715 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: she's gonna want to pay the lowest possible tax rate 716 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:34,400 Speaker 1: she can, and she'll pay you know, elite accounting firms 717 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: to do that for her. But she wants your taxes 718 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 1: to go up, kind of like the way these democrats. 719 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 1: You're starting to see a pattern here, aren't you. They 720 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: want you to mask up all the time, don't eat indoors, 721 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 1: don't eat outdoors at restaurants, don't see your family over holidays, 722 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 1: because your sacrifices are for the greater good. They don't 723 00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 1: want to make sacrifices because that's no fun. Sooc in 724 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 1: many ways is the perfect the perfect Democrat in twenty twenty. 725 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 1: She's exactly what the Democrat Party is all about now. 726 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 1: An enormous, enormous media profile, fame, lots of money, and 727 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,720 Speaker 1: Marxism And how do those things all go together. Well, 728 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: you have to be an enormous hypocrite and ignor Ramis 729 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: and not really care about what's happened in history because 730 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,320 Speaker 1: of policies like this and what will happen in the future, 731 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 1: because you'll be insulated. She'll still be cold. She could 732 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:42,880 Speaker 1: author policies and congress in the future that will bankrupt 733 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,520 Speaker 1: whole industries, which is what she wants to do with 734 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 1: the Green New Deal. She's never going to go bankrupt. 735 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,680 Speaker 1: She'll always be rich. If you knew, if you were 736 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: guaranteed a life of financial luxury, wouldn't it be so 737 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: tempting if you were an unethical person, wouldn't it be 738 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: so tempting to use the the suffering of other people 739 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: who are striving and working hard and building, but to 740 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 1: take more from them so that you look like a 741 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: good person. You want to give it to those who 742 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,359 Speaker 1: haven't been able to make it happen. Yet, I mean, 743 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 1: are we really to assume there are so many fundamental 744 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: flaws and Marxist logic and so many contradictions in the 745 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 1: way they approach the world. Are we really to assume, 746 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,800 Speaker 1: for example, that everyone works just as hard, that everyone's 747 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 1: just as talented. I can tell you I'm in the 748 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 1: media business now, and there are some people who have 749 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,399 Speaker 1: an incredible work ethic, and there are other people who 750 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: are pretty lazy. And unless the lazy people are really lucky, 751 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 1: which does happen, they tend not to have the same 752 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 1: career trajectory as the people that work really hard. Should 753 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 1: we redistribute the money among people in the news business 754 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 1: and in journalism, No, they they would never want that, right, 755 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 1: That's no good. Also, you'll notice that journalists in particular, 756 00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,839 Speaker 1: they usually have this cut off around two hundred, two hundred, 757 00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 1: fIF thousand dollars for people they say is rich. That's 758 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 1: because to be a journalist at a at a pretty 759 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 1: prestige publication, and to just be yet another journalist there, 760 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 1: it's really hard to make more money than that. Usually, 761 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,320 Speaker 1: if you work in the New York Times these places, 762 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,280 Speaker 1: you kind of top out around two hundred two fifty 763 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 1: and that's if you're pretty good. So rich has to 764 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 1: be more than that. And the people that are shaping 765 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,360 Speaker 1: perception all the time at these publications, they want, you know, 766 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,839 Speaker 1: rich starts at like five hundred k, because unless you're 767 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,520 Speaker 1: an executive or you have other things going on, other 768 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 1: sources of income, you're you're not going to make that 769 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 1: working at a newspaper, right, But you can't make one 770 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty grand two hundred grand. You can make 771 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,839 Speaker 1: that working at think tanks, so that that never counts 772 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 1: as rich. You'll notice that that's not really rich. Although 773 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 1: eventually what you find with the Marxist logic of people 774 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: like AOC is that it has to be the workers. 775 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,920 Speaker 1: The workers do bear the burden of the taxes because 776 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: there's so many more of them. I mean, you could 777 00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,319 Speaker 1: take every penny, every penny, not just a tax rate 778 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:04,160 Speaker 1: of people in the one percent made in any given year, 779 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 1: and you wouldn't be able to pay the federal You 780 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to pay for the federal budget that year. 781 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 1: You wouldn't be able to do it. But AOC and 782 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,360 Speaker 1: the other leftists, they assume that there are these government 783 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: there are these structural impediments between people that must only 784 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,239 Speaker 1: be addressed by the government, and therefore they're in the 785 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 1: position of a kind of deity. They get to determine 786 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 1: what you get, how you get it, when you get it, 787 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,239 Speaker 1: kind of like with COVID lockdowns, you're seeing how it 788 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:35,400 Speaker 1: all ties together.
