1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: On March sevent Nevada's Democrat governor, Steve Ceciliac, ordered all

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: non essential businesses to shut down to stop the spread

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: of the virus. Las Vegas was hit hard. Hotels casinos,

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: the lifeblood of that town, have been shut down for

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: almost three months now. By April, almost thirty percent of

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: the city's workforce was unemployed. That's the highest of any

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: state and worse than during the Great Depression. By May,

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: business owners and elected Las Vegas officials were begging, pleading

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: with their Democrat governor to open the place up. Like

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: so many Democrat governors, the answer was no. Finally, eighty

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: days later, the closings are now over. Nevada can finally

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: open again, and the casinos want to make customers feel

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: safe coming back to Vegas, so they got temperature checks

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: for people entering the resorts, touchless check ins, and even

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: sanitized Dyson cards, along with the ever present face masks.

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: But it remains to be seen and all of that

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: is going to bring people back. Here's what needs to

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: be answered. Was the shutdown of Nevada's economy and America's

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: really necessary. Did it help stop the virus from spreading

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: so far? The answer, coming from study after study, is

21
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: know in far too many cases, Democrat governors were willing

22
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: to gamble with people's jobs, their prosperity, and lives, and

23
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: it was the people themselves, sadly, who lost. They always

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: do in democrats states,
