0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>On March sevent Nevada's Democrat governor, Steve Ceciliac, ordered all

0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:07.960
<v Speaker 1>non essential businesses to shut down to stop the spread

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>of the virus. Las Vegas was hit hard. Hotels casinos,

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the lifeblood of that town, have been shut down for

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:18.959
<v Speaker 1>almost three months now. By April, almost thirty percent of

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>the city's workforce was unemployed. That's the highest of any

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>state and worse than during the Great Depression. By May,

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>business owners and elected Las Vegas officials were begging, pleading

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>with their Democrat governor to open the place up. Like

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>so many Democrat governors, the answer was no. Finally, eighty

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>days later, the closings are now over. Nevada can finally

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>open again, and the casinos want to make customers feel

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>safe coming back to Vegas, so they got temperature checks

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>for people entering the resorts, touchless check ins, and even

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>sanitized Dyson cards, along with the ever present face masks.

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>But it remains to be seen and all of that

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>is going to bring people back. Here's what needs to

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>be answered. Was the shutdown of Nevada's economy and America's

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>really necessary. Did it help stop the virus from spreading

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 1>so far? The answer, coming from study after study, is

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>know in far too many cases, Democrat governors were willing

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>to gamble with people's jobs, their prosperity, and lives, and

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>it was the people themselves, sadly, who lost. They always

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.040
<v Speaker 1>do in democrats states,
