1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: You are entering the Freedom Hunt. The war on coronavirus continues,

2
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: but we're gonna call it the Wuhan virus from now on.

3
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: Here and the Freedom Hunt will have all the latest

4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: everything we need to talk about coming up. This is

5
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is

6
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, America,

7
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: You're a great American. Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins.

8
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: He's a great guy. No, Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show, everybody.

9
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: We are still doing it from the studio here in

10
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: New York City. You may see some changes. For those

11
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: of you that watch on Pluto, you may hear a

12
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: slightly different, slightly different tonality, I guess in terms of

13
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: the technical aspects of the show, because we may be

14
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: setting up in a remote Freedom Hunt location and the

15
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: relatively near future. The show will still be exactly as

16
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: it is in terms of the content and everything else.

17
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: But things are getting pretty edgy here in New York City.

18
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: People are concerned, and I've been talking to friends all

19
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: across the country. Look, here here's the reality. I mean

20
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: this is this is a news commentary show. We do

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff here too. We're going to

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: talk about this, and we're going to be talking about

23
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: this story for the next at least thirty days, you

24
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: got to figure probably the next sixty and who knows

25
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: how much longer than that. So we are in a

26
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: new phase. And that's why I'm talking about it in

27
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: terms of a war or an ongoing major conflict that

28
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: polls at everything in our society. And that's where we are.

29
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: And you know, we're going to talk about the most

30
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: serious and most concerning aspects of it. We're going to

31
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: discuss the things that make all of us nervous. We're

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna look at government response, the politics around this unavoidable,

33
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: and we're also going to have a bit of gallows humor,

34
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of you know, we've got to we've

35
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: got to keep our spirits up as we pushed through this.

36
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: I said this to a New York lass night on

37
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: wo R, but I'm saying it to you all as well.

38
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: I am very very confident that there will come a

39
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: time in the not distant future when I'll be able

40
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: to sit here and tell all of you. Producer Mark

41
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: and I had Margarida's on a sidewalk cafe after the

42
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: show last night in Tribeca. Down here in Lower Manhattan.

43
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: It's actually a beautiful part of New York City, and

44
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: the streets are a buzz and everybody's okay, and you know,

45
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: we're we got through it. I'm I'm very confident we

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: will be able to have that, and I look forward

47
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: to it. I look forward to that day when I

48
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: can say that to all me in. The market's rebounding,

49
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: it's gorgeous weather, and we can start just the food

50
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: fight over the election and whether should be Trump or

51
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: Biden all over again. And although that's going to continue,

52
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: but that day will come and we'll be able to

53
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: talk about that and celebrated together. And I hope it'll

54
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: come in June. It might not come until Longust or September,

55
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: but it'll be here. It will be here. So I

56
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: think we all need to remember that this is not

57
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: going to be the new normal forever by any stretch,

58
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: because right now, man, it's people are people are rattled.

59
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: You know, there's all these different pieces that move with this.

60
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: What are the timelines of the virus spread? How well

61
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: are hospitals equipped? The information overload that you have right now?

62
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: I find myself at night reading and reading and reading

63
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: so much about this that I have to force myself

64
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: to just give give a little bit, like an hour

65
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: of time before I go to sleep, so that I

66
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: don't just go to sleep thinking about wuhan flu, coronavirus,

67
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: the wu flu. By the way, if I say coronavirus again,

68
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: it's just because that's what scotten. That's that's what we're

69
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: being told to say. But remember that's that's an incorrect

70
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: that's an imprecise way of talking about this. And when

71
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: they say COVID nineteen, that's not how we refer to

72
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: diseases usually, right. It would be like asking the general

73
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: public to refer to animals by the by their Latin names,

74
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, by those I think, like a great white

75
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: shark is a carcarrotin carcareous boom knowledge, so you know,

76
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: those are some of the These are the things that

77
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: you'll think about constantly before you get to sleep, and

78
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: then you go to sleep and you wake up and

79
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: the streets here in the city are quiet, and this

80
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: is going to be and everyone, I think recognizes it

81
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: because it's the greatest concentration of people living in the

82
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: closest proximity to each other you know, Los Angeles is

83
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: a huge place, but Los Angeles has really spread out.

84
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: Los Angeles is a city of many cities and for

85
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: people to stay home as long as they have access

86
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: to food and the powers on and everything that's there's

87
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: there's less person to person connectivity in the day to

88
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: day life there. I mean here in New York we

89
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: are packed together on the streets, we are packed together

90
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: on the subways. Many of you are like, Buck, why

91
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: don't you come out to me. Maybe this is the

92
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: turning point, you know, maybe producer market, I need to

93
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: pull up stakes and move out to I don't know,

94
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: somewhere somewhere Lovely, Austin, Nashville, Denver. These are all These

95
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: are all cities that I think about sometimes. But that's

96
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: for when we get through this. Unfortunately, we are right

97
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: in the middle of this. We are dealing with a

98
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: national emergency that is going to test us in many

99
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: many ways. And I think that it's important for all

100
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: of us that we understand out that we're willing to

101
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: speak to the anxieties of the moment, that we talk

102
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: to each other, we support each other, we see the

103
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: good that we can in people around us, and just

104
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, I hate. Stay calm is like telling somebody

105
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: to calm down when they're upset, and it never works.

106
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: You tell people to stay calm, and it immediately, at

107
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: least in my mind, evokes somebody who's saying that as

108
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: everybody's like scrambling for the lifeboats or something, stay calm

109
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: and everyone's running for lifeboats, we really are going to

110
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: be okay. And I think that, you know, there are

111
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: a lot of ways everyone's now making decisions based upon

112
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: what they think of as a certainty about where this

113
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: is all going. You know, they think they know that

114
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: fill in the following things, right, They think they know

115
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: if a happens, b happens. I mean, I've got to

116
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: tell you, just think about it this way. You know,

117
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: there are so many people who all they do is

118
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: look at the direction of the stock market, the trajectory

119
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: of different of different companies, and what their earning reports

120
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: are going to be. And here we have Mother Nature

121
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: just saying, yeah, you guys think you know what's coming.

122
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: You think you understand the future, you understand what the

123
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: plan is. You're wrong. Things change, They change very rapidly,

124
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: and people don't don't see it coming. I look at

125
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: this as right now, the next two to three weeks,

126
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: we're more or less going to know if we are

127
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: if we are entering an even more dangerous phase of

128
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: this situation based on all the different projections. You know,

129
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: we also have to have to look at the failure

130
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: now to get testing kits out. Now, testing kits are

131
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: not the answer to everything. I think this has been

132
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: an interesting area where there's there's real concern and there's

133
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: also room for real criticism here. The federal government, run

134
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: by the Trump administration on this one, did not execute

135
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: up to standards. Now. I think if you look at

136
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: it honestly, the CDC and federal regulations and the federal bureaucracy,

137
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: which I know I worked at it, I understand it

138
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: moves very slowly, a lot of red tape, and there's

139
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of it's what I call bureaucratic sloth. People.

140
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: You know, they're ten percent of the people in the

141
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: organizations do ninety percent of the important work. And that's

142
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: that's just the truth. I mean, I know people don't

143
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: like to hear this, but and I'm sure it's the

144
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: same thing with the CDC, but the testing kits for

145
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: there to be at this stage a manufacturing defect. I mean,

146
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci has even said that this is a failure. Okay,

147
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: so we're past now. Oh no, book, you can't say no, no,

148
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: it's a failure and that's real. But let's also understand,

149
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: all right, so testing gives you a better sense of

150
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: where you can try to contain this. But keep in

151
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: mind that the disease as we understand it right now,

152
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: and I'll get into why it is important that we

153
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: call it the Wuhan virus. Some people are also calling

154
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: it as shorthand the wu flu. I leave that to them.

155
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: I may say that sometimes too. I think that it's

156
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: important that we also don't allow this thing to become

157
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: this uh, this this beast that haunts are every waking moments.

158
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: You know that that creates this anxiety, angsty, and fear,

159
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: become their own become their own enemy. In this whole process,

160
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: it's so easy for all of us to just succumb

161
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: to oh gosh, you know, I mean, I mean a look,

162
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: and I'm going to have some gallos humor. Please understand,

163
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm here writing the center of this. I've been in

164
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: a high risk population for trans for getting the disease

165
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: in the sense that I'm in New York City. This

166
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: is where there's the most cases so far, I believe,

167
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: are in New York State and the New York City area.

168
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm on the subway. I have loved ones who are

169
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: in the age risk category that I'm thinking about every

170
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: day all the time that I'm trying to make sure

171
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: that they're you know, they're okay. So all of us

172
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: understand the severity of this here, but it also does

173
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: us no good. Once we've dealt with the real facts

174
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: and the day to day and what we know and

175
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: a new information to act like, this thing gets to

176
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: control us. This thing gets to be haunting our every

177
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: waking and even sleeping moment because oh my gosh, what's

178
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: going to happen. You're reading these projections, I'm sure there's

179
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: been a spike. Look, I've downloaded a few books on

180
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: the Spanish flu al though Sonja Shaw's book called Pandemic

181
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: is something that I read on my own about a

182
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: year or two ago, and I have to say it

183
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: was very helpful in the early days of understanding before

184
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: everybody was talking about this so much exactly what's going

185
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: on here. And I'll also tell you when you're looking

186
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: at projections and trying to understand what the future will hold.

187
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: Everybody who studies pandemic disease has effectively been saying now

188
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: that we would be in this position at some point

189
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: in time, and then it would happen almost exactly the

190
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: way that it does. These diseases originate in China, not

191
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: all diseases, but these influenzas and these upper respiratory diseases,

192
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: and it has to do with my Usually migratory foul

193
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: often ducks the migratory foul population, and then there's the

194
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: transfer of a virus that might not even do anything

195
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: bad to the ducks, but that virus can be transferred

196
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: to pigs. And pigs are of our animals that have

197
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: a lot of similarity, so many in fact, that you

198
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: can do some transplants of different tissues, and I believe

199
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: even some some minor organs from pigs to human beings.

200
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: Um that the transfer from the ducks to the pigs

201
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: to the humans. This has been the concern. And now

202
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: I know everyone talking about a guy who ate a

203
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: bat soup, or it was a civit, or it was

204
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: I don't know, some kind of there was some other

205
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: a pangle in. You know, these really rare animals about it?

206
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: Why are people eating these animals? That is a fair

207
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: question to ask. But you know, animals that are that

208
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 1: are in the wild do present new cross infection opportunities.

209
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: Opportunities might be the wrong word, cross infection risks. And

210
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: this is what has been They thought this is the

211
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: way it's going to be for a long time, and

212
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: now finally we're at this place. So we've known this

213
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: was coming. And I'm actually here to remind everybody of

214
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: that this has been known for a long time. And

215
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Sanish flu has in recent years because

216
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: of stars and mers these other upper respiratory infections, it's

217
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: gotten more attention than it has in a long time.

218
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: But it was only a matter of time before we

219
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: were at this place. And I will also tell you

220
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: that when you look at that, look back, and I'll

221
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: be discussing the history of Spanish influenza with you as

222
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: we go forward in the week, because this is the done,

223
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: this is the news story right now. Right. We'll talk

224
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: about some other things and you know I'll make I'll

225
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: make some jokes about how like every time I push

226
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: the elevator on the button here in the building. I'm

227
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: just like, this is like, you know, Russian roulette virus style.

228
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: Every time I touch a button with my finger and

229
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh gosh. And inevitably when I think about

230
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: that too, I end up that finger ends up, you know,

231
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: I you know, touch my eye or my nose. I

232
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: almost did it right now as I'm trying to tell

233
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: you how I shouldn't do that. That's how much of

234
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: a habit we're all in. So this is going to

235
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: be a phase of our lives, and it's going to

236
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: affect made your decisions going forward about government. It's going

237
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: to absolutely play a role in the twenty no matter what,

238
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: it'll play a major role in the twenty twenty election.

239
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: But there'll be other things about this too that I

240
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: think we all recognize. What we will be able to

241
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: recognize at least after the fact. This is going to

242
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: change our perception of public health. This is going to

243
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: change our perception of what's you know, of globalization, of

244
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: all these different major forces that we tend to have

245
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: a passive view of. These things are just happening. We're

246
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: just dealing with it. Well, there's more than that. We

247
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: can change course on certain things or we can adjust,

248
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: we can understand that this is not something we want

249
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: to go through again. And you know, I'm going to

250
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: try to give you as much as I can. And

251
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: it seems to be right now, a worst case, best

252
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: case analysis situation. That's what you're getting all the time,

253
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: and what I know, and this was just from not

254
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: that the CIA gets everything right. It actually has gotten

255
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: a lot of things very very wrong. And I know

256
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: that because I used to be there and I could

257
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: see all the old assessments and go through them, and

258
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: there's plenty of things the SEI has gotten wrong over time.

259
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: But when you study predictions, especially predictions about major political

260
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: movements or predictions about things like a pandemic, you know,

261
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: everyone focuses on worst case, best case in the beginning,

262
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: and then it turns out and you know where this

263
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: is going to usually be something in the middle usually

264
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: tends to not be the very worst case ends and

265
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: not be the best case scenario. So I'm going to

266
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: give you those two ends of it and hope that

267
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: we can draw toward what is the most likely outcome here.

268
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, here's what I prucer Mark did

269
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: I did I give my little Oh no, I didn't

270
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: because I remember I So a friend of mine asked

271
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: me yesterday here in New York City, And by the way,

272
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, Mark and I are in it, like we're

273
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: here in the midst of all this. You know, he's

274
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: taking public transport to get here. I've been taking public

275
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: transport to get here. They might shut that down, there

276
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: might be changes about that, and we might have to

277
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: get pruser Mark at hell a copter or a limousine

278
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: or something. Well, find we'll find place for that in

279
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: the budget. But the friend of mine asked me yesterday,

280
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: what do I think is really going to happen? And

281
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: I wrote this out without even thinking about it, and

282
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: it was one of those moments where I realized, well,

283
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: this isn't I wrote it to somebody thinking this is

284
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: just if you ask me, like, if you held a

285
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: gun to my head, what's going to happen here in

286
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: New York, which I think will be replicated in lesser

287
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: to lesser degrees in other places, what would you say

288
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: is likely to occur here? And I'll tell you what

289
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: that is in just a second. Thanks for listening to

290
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts.

291
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: The iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah,

292
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: so this is what I texted a friend who's clearly

293
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: very concerned about what's going on here because they're I mean,

294
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: they're shutting down. We're in lockdown mode. And as long

295
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: and my opinion is, as long as we slow the

296
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: spread of the disease enough so that our medical facilities

297
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: can handle any influx of the severely ill, and as

298
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: long as we still have people that are doing critical

299
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: things we man, we need people keeping the electricity going,

300
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: picking up the garbage, making sure the grocery stores have food,

301
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: you know, keeping the internet on. I mean, like there

302
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: are things that we just need to keep God, as

303
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: long as those things stay in place, and I believe

304
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: it they will. This isn't a natural disaster, or we've

305
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: dealt with the well, it is kind of a natural disaster,

306
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: but it's not you know, an earthquake or a you know,

307
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: a major hurricane where all of a sudden there's no power,

308
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: there's flooding, and you have to deal with that. This

309
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: is a different kind of natural disaster. As long as

310
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: that all stays in place, that infrastructure stays on, I

311
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: think we got a pretty good shot of going through

312
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: a few weeks of lockdown without it turning really ugly.

313
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to get into how it could turn ugly

314
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: a little bit, because we got to understand all aspects

315
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: of this, and I know there, you know when I

316
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: first started. Well, I've got so much on this, folks.

317
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this is all I think about now every day. Really,

318
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this is where I am. So here's what

319
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: I told my friend, though I thought I should share

320
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: this with you. Things will calm down for a few days,

321
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 1: but there'll be a spike and known cases next week

322
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: when they get a bunch of test results back from

323
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 1: the newly opened labs. At that point, people will realize

324
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: there are thousands of infected here in the Tri state

325
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: area and at least tens of thousands infected nationally, which

326
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: means that community spread will be very hard, if not impossible,

327
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: to contain. That's when hospital admissions will spike, and that's

328
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: when everybody will really freak out. I think they may

329
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: shut the subways here down and create quarantine zones in

330
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: some major cities. NYC will basically come to a standstill

331
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: for a week or two. Will we be more or

332
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: less okay by June. Yes, but we're in for an

333
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: ugly sixty to ninety days. That's where I think we are.

334
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: That's what I think will happen here. I hope I

335
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: am wrong, but I think that's a middle path. There

336
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: are certainly worse outcomes it out there. We also have

337
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 1: a talk about the Chinese trying to put this on

338
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,239
Speaker 1: America and there's a great power struggle here that this

339
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: virus is at the center of. I'll get into that

340
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: as well. Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts.

341
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or

342

Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. It goes away, it's going away.

343
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: We wanted to go away with very very few deaths

344
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: people have. You know, we call it cases. How many

345
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: cases do you have? Well, relative to other countries, we

346
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: have very few cases relative to certain of the major

347
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: countries that really have a bigger problem than us. We've

348
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: offered by the RAN. Just interestingly, I think we have

349
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: the greatest doctors in the world. We've offered a RAN assistance.

350
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: RAN as having a tremendous problem, and we have offered

351
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: a RAN assistance. If they'd like it, we will help them.

352
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: We'd be glad to help take So here's a part

353
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: of this whole discussion. I don't think anybody has answers for,

354
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: but this is certainly, very certainly very important to our

355
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: understanding of this you are probably seeing today. You know,

356
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: there's there's a reason for I think, substantial optimism, and

357
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: then there's a reason for substantial concern. And this is

358
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: these are the two ideas that keep bouncing back and

359
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: forth in my head. You have globally about one hundred

360
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: and forty thousand cases. You've got about five thousand deaths

361
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: from this, right, so you're looking at a global fatality,

362
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: a mortality rate of around you know, two to three percent.

363
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: Keeping in mind that established cases are I mean when

364
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: I say keeping in mind, that doesn't get factored into

365
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: the calculation. But you should keep in mind that confirmed

366
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: cases are absolutely less than actual cases. There's no way

367
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: that's not true. There are a lot of people that

368
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: thought they had a cold or just you know, figure it.

369
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on here. They stay at

370
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: home for a week, and now they're going about their lives.

371
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: I said it home for two weeks. Now they're going

372
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: about their lives. There's this analysis, right now, and look

373
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: that the Drudge Report has been absolutely pedal to the

374
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: metal on we should all be as scared as possible

375
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: about this from the very beginning. Now, some people would

376
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: say that that's that, that's been the correct position at

377
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: this point. We'll see. I don't think you could say

378
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: that quite yet, because in China is a very crowded

379
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: country with over a billion people, and the cities are

380
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Wuhan has I think eight or ten million people.

381
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: How many Look, I will admit this, how many even

382
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: knew anything about Wuhan before the Wuhan virus, which is

383
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: what we will call it. This is going to be

384
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: a little bit like undocumented immigrant or undocumented person versus

385
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: illegal alien. One term is more important and more precise.

386
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: But because you will hear the other one, you know,

387
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: people say, you know, the undocumented undocumented persons, it starts

388
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: to steep in your brain. So we've all been saying

389
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: coronavirus so much that you don't think that I'm backing

390
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: off of this when I say, if I'm trying to

391
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: say Wuhan virus, say coronavirus. It's really just because you

392
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: know this. This is part of the propaganda effect out there,

393
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: And I don't know why we would call something coronavirus

394
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: when that's an imp imprecise way of describing it, and

395
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: with so many other diseases we describe it by the

396
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: first place of known origin. And there's a reason why people,

397
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: it's it's important. This isn't just a you know, getting

398
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: down to the details and who cares. There's a reason

399
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: for all of this. There is a reason why I

400
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: think we need to focus on this. But I'm giving

401
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: you now my we'll get into the politics of this

402
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: and everything else us. The reason that I see for

403
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: optimism here is China's got a billion people and they

404
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: have had what I mean a few a few thousand

405
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: deaths to this point, and they've been dealing with the

406
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: virus for months, and they have over a population of

407
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: over a billion. And they also suppressed it in the

408
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: early days when after scientists who were trying to get

409
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: the word out early I mean, there was a government

410
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: lockdown on this in a bad way, not meant to

411
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: protect the public, meant to protect the Chinese Communist Party

412
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: and the regime. Well if China, which does have a look,

413
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: I was just in China about a year ago. You

414
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: trust me, if you were given the option of being

415
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: in a Chinese hospital or an American hospital, your standard

416
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: American hospital, you would take ninety nine times out of

417
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: one hundred. So there's no reason to believe that they

418
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: have a better public health system for dealing with this

419
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: than we do. How now, And you could also say, Buck,

420
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: maybe they're lying about the numbers. Maybe they're lying about

421
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: the numbers, And I say, yeah, I mean that's certainly

422
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: a possibility too. And so you know, if we don't

423
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: trust their numbers, I don't know. You know, they did

424
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: put the virus sequence out there so people could start

425
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: developing tests for it, But if they don't put the

426
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: numbers out, or rather if we can't trust their numbers,

427
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how we can really even analyze this

428
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: situation China. I do trust the numbers in South Korea, though,

429
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: I do trust the numbers in Hong Kong and Singapore

430
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: countries that I've gotten this under control. But let's just

431
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: focus on China for a second. If if this disease

432
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 1: is as easily transmitted and as dangerous as we've been

433
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: led to believe by most of the media accounts, isn't

434
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: it almost well, wouldn't we have to consider it almost

435
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: a miracle if Chinese numbers are correct, that you only

436
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: have a few thousand. I mean, I'll give you the

437
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 1: updated the updated number as of today, so I can

438
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: stop just saying, you know, a few thousand, So you have, Okay,

439
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: Italy's coronavirus death toll is over a thousand people, and

440
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see what the Chinese coronavirus death toll

441
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: is anyway, it's it's it can't be more. The overall

442
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: death toll is five thousand. So let's say you've got

443
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, three thousand roughly dead in China. I think

444
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: I think that's about what the number is. That's very

445
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: very small, considering the entire population of China would have

446
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: been at risk for this for weeks and just free

447
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: transmission of this for weeks before anybody was doing anything.

448
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: And I know that they've taken pretty extreme measures to

449
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: lock this down, but okay, you know the measures are

450
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: effectively versions of what we're doing here, Cleaning public areas,

451
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: keeping people home, limiting social interaction, social contact, all this stuff.

452
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: So okay, why would why would we then have to

453
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: be told as we are being told, that there's a

454
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: likelihood in this country, a serious likelihood that will have

455
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: a half a million people dead from this, which is

456
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: what we're being told by some of these estimates apparently

457
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: coming from health experts. Now, for that to be true,

458
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying it's not true, I don't know.

459
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: No one can predict the future. You know, that's one

460
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: of one of my most important They're saying one hundred

461
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: and fifty million Americans could get infected. Okay, well, one

462
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million Americans getting infected. If you have

463
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: a mortality rate of two or three percent, you're gonna

464
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 1: have a few million people who die. You've got a

465
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: billion Chinese and we're months and months into this. It's

466
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: supposed to spread very quickly and have a very rapid onset.

467
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 1: Most people develop symptoms within days of exposure, they believe.

468
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: Although there are these other you know, there's all these

469
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: competing theories and stories out there. For medical professionals, taking

470
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: a step back for a moment, this is just also

471
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, the doctors, nurses, they do all these amazing things,

472
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: and there they are on the front line. They are

473
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: the you know, the Praetorian Guard, or actually no more

474
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: than that, the Pretorian Guard is usually in the back.

475
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: They're the front line soldiers. They are the marines of

476
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: this war. They're the grunts of this war against this virus.

477
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're the ones that are right there

478
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: taking it and and dishing it out to the other side.

479
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: This time the other side is as a virus. But

480
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot that modern me doesn't know. I think

481
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: we have generally been led to believe because of some

482
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: of the amazing things we can do with cancer treatments,

483
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: and that modern medicine has more answers than it does.

484
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: There are a lot of big questions out there that

485
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: medical communities still is. I know they're trying to answer them,

486
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: but they don't have answers to you. And if you

487
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: want a very low level of a very low level

488
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: version of this and something far less serious what we're

489
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: talking about here, just going to a doctor and say,

490
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, you have IBS, and doctors will give you

491
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: fifty different reasons for it and fifty different things you

492
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: can do about it, and you know, it's kind of

493
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: like good luck, sorry about your ibs. Right then that's

494
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: just a But millions and millions and millions of people

495
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: have that in this country. I think it's the estimate

496
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: ten to twenty million people suffer from it pretty regularly.

497
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: Don't have answers to that. Now, that's obviously not a

498
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: pandemic and people aren't dying from it. But I'm just

499
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: saying there's a lot that modern medicine doesn't know yet.

500
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: And when you see all these different analyzes from people

501
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: in the medical profession or estimates or guesses, you start

502
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: to think, Okay, what do we really what do we

503
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: really know here? What do we really have an understanding of?

504
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: So the upside, the big upside that I see is

505
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: that you've had not only slowed transmission rates in other countries,

506
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: so it is possible to slow this thing down. That's good,

507
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: but also that in China you've had really, relatively speaking,

508
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: so few deaths in total that it makes me think, well,

509
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: can't we expect there to be a similar, if not

510
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: better outcome here, especially because we're taking these precautions. Again,

511
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: I don't know, I do and now, so that's on

512
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: the good side of things, right, and the good side

513
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: of things. And as you know, eighty percent of people,

514
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: they keep repeating this, eighty percent of people get a

515
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: relatively mild disease with some you know, flu like or

516
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: cold like really more like cold like symptoms. It's well,

517
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: you get a fever, that's not really so much with

518
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: a cold, but you get a fever and you get

519
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: a dry cough. Those are seem to be the two

520
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: most common, definitely the fever and usually the dry cough,

521
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: and it can linger. Now on the on the side

522
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: of greater concern, I would say a couple of things. One,

523
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: we keep seeing this one hundred and forty thousand people

524
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: worldwide have gotten the disease, confirmed to have gotten the disease,

525
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: and sixty thousand have recovered. Okay, that's less than half

526
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: the people that have had the disease. Now, does that

527
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: mean that eighty thousand of them have just gone the

528
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: disease in the last couple of weeks and so they're

529
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: not yet confirmed that that's possible. But I do have

530
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: concerns that maybe this illness can linger longer than people realize.

531
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: And that's also where you get into the how long

532
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,239
Speaker 1: are people going to be contagious with this? And you know,

533
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: once you've had it, you know, I suppose you're gonna

534
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: have to wait till you've get a negative test back

535
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: before you really know that you don't have the risk

536
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: of making contagious for anybody else. That's that's where I

537
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: think we really are with this, that we need to

538
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: figure out what the incubation period is. And there's the

539
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: possibility even viruses react differently with different people, and is

540
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: this has always been the case. There are a lot

541
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: of viruses that people show no symptoms for that. There's

542
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: still something called viral shedding that goes on, which means

543
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: that you're in whatever way you're transmitting it, you're you know,

544
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: little little viruses are getting out and you can still

545
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: give it to somebody. So that's why you know there's

546
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: a there's some uncertainty here. Next week, I think we

547
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: should all be prepared for this, and I wanted to

548
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: say this to you now, and I've what was it

549
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: a few days ago? I said, look, I think we're

550
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: gonna have some days. And then the next day I

551
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: was like, yep, we're having a day where we got

552
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: to batten down the hatches and get ready for the

553
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: squall that's coming. Next week is going to be a

554
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: bad week for this. So I want us to all

555
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: get and by the way, don't you know, don't this weekend,

556
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: give yourself off a break. I mean, I'm gonna do

557
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: the same thing. I'm telling Producer Ah, Producer Mark's actually

558
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: moving this weekend, so he unfortunately, dude, we are all.

559
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: I just want to say. I know that people like

560
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: this is a global pandemic or whatever, but you have

561
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: to deal with the global pandemic too, and you are

562
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: moving your home. Yes, this weekend. And when all the

563
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: rumors were coming out, my wife was freaking out that

564
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: like they were going to shut down the roads and

565
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: shut down the transit system and it was bad. I'm

566
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: just hoping tomorrow happens. Yeah, I think you're good for tomorrow.

567
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: It's better that it's tomorrow than next week. Yes, but

568
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm starting moving. You know, I've moved far too much

569
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: in life, Unfortunately, I've just for different reasons, for jobs

570
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: and for you know things, I've moved too many times.

571
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: Moving is very stressful, so everything. So I understand the

572
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: stress of every that everyone feels right now, particularly in

573
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: this city because we know there are people walking around

574
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: with coronavirus. We know that CBS had to shut down

575
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: it's offices for a day to do a cleaning. I'm

576
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: also not sure I'm not opening their offices again for

577
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: another week. Oh wow, I just knew they shut it

578
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: down for the day. It's a week. So producer Mark

579
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: has friends and contexts that know about what's going on.

580
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: I just focus on the freedom hunt. I know you do. Yeah,

581
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean this is the you know, this

582
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: is the way the city is right now. Everyone's very anxious,

583
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: everyone's very um, you know, concerned about this stuff. And yeah,

584
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: I gotta say right now this weekend, you gotta let

585
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: yourself be with families, stay home, stay in place. If

586
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: you have to go out, you have look half to

587
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: means have to, right. I mean, this is the reason

588
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm here, It's the reason Mark's here, Like, we gotta

589
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: put on a show. We gotta be here to do

590
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: the show. You know, we might figure out some ways

591
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: to leverage technology so that we don't have to be

592
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: co located. Because Mark and I've been talking about this.

593
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: If one of us is near somebody who thinks they

594
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 1: have if one of us is near somebody who has

595
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: self quarantined, then really we have to self quarantine because

596
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: if he has to self quarantine, I have to self quarantine.

597
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: And now we're like, now there's you know, now we

598
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: got a big problem because now we can't do the show.

599
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: So we're going to try to figure out a way

600
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: to be able to keep the show. We're going to

601
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: keep the show going no matter what, but we're figuring

602
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: out the technology in that right now. This is a

603
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: long way of saying, you know, this is this is

604
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: a weekend where you should really take care of yourself. Rest.

605
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: It's important. I know this sounds like, you know, advice

606
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: from fake doctor Buck or something. It's important for your

607
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: immune system. It's important that you psychologically gave yourself. You know,

608
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: this weekend is the weekend to binge on Netflix. Read

609
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: that book, Calm down, give your mind. You know, you've

610
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: had to make so many wherever you are in the country,

611
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: wherever you are around the world right now, you've had

612
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: to make so many decisions about this, whether it's whether

613
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: you're pulling your kids out of school or not, what

614
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna do with your kids now that they're home.

615
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: You know what you're doing about your investments in the market,

616
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: and don't that's one place do not panic. Okay, don't panic.

617
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: Sell bad idea, you know there's and sell if you want,

618
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: but don't panic. Sell. So you know, there's all these

619
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: different decisions, and you have decision fatigue. You know, your

620
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: mind gets clouded with what am I going to do next?

621
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: What am I going to do next? This weekend, I'm

622
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: gonna say it. Those of you who pray obviously already

623
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: know you don't need you don't need me to tell

624
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: you it's go weekend for prayer. I don't I mean

625
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: prayer like, oh my gosh, terrible things are gonna happen.

626
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean pray for that connection to God. But you

627
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: know you can also try meditation. I'm gonna be doing

628
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: I am gonna be doing a little bit of yoga

629
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: this weekend. You need to. You've we've all been absorbing this.

630
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: We've all been just the last week or so in particular,

631
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: pulling in all this anxiety and stress. Stress is very immunosuppressive,

632
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: and it's also not helpful for you to make the

633
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: best decisions you need to for you and your family

634
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: going forward. So if you have off this weekend, if

635
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: you're already staying where you are, or if you're in

636
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: a place where you know some of you're like Buck,

637
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: I don't see my neighbors, you know, unless I drive

638
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, two miles in one direction, right, Well, that's great,

639
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: and you know, take this time because next week, next week,

640
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: things are gonna get are gonna get ugly. I'm pretty confident.

641
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm not certain. I'm pretty confident because that's what everyone's

642
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: going to realize. Oh, the numbers are much higher. The

643
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: lack of testing has made us think that there are

644
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: fewer cases than there are, and there's a lot more

645
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: community spread than we realized. And then they're going to

646
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: start worrying about are we going to see the surgeon

647
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: in the hospital the week after that? So be prepared.

648
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: Next week is not going to be a good week.

649
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,919
Speaker 1: Next week is going to be tough. Rest this week

650
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: and take care of yourself this weekend. You're in the

651
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast, Doctor Fatty.

652
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: Will there be cities on lockdown in the United States?

653
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I mean, as I always say,

654
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: you've got to keep everything on the table. You would

655
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: hope that you wouldn't have to resort to these draconian

656
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: moves of actually locking down a city, But it depends

657
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: on what happens. I hope we never get to that.

658
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: But you never take anything off the table when you're

659
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: dealing with protecting the health of the American public. That's

660
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: the way of saying that we could have whole cities

661
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: under quarantine, my friends, And this is what I was

662
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: getting at for be prepared for that next week. It

663
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: won't be forever. And it's also about lengthening out the

664
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 1: lengthening out what our health system can handle at one time,

665
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: trying to disperse the cases more on a timeline so

666
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: that it's not all a big spike at one time.

667
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:22,919
Speaker 1: That's why Italy got so just crushed. But we could

668
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 1: see that, and we could see it as soon as

669
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: next week. Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts.

670
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeart Radio app,

671
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, I think one

672
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 1: thing that we need to do is put politics aside.

673
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: And that's exactly why Democrats have agreed with the President

674
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: Trump on his goals of paid sick leave and his

675
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: goals of free coronavirus testing, and so all of those

676
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: things have been included in our package. We bump it

677
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: up a little bit more. But you know, in when

678
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: you have a Democratic House and Republican Senate, compromises the

679
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: name of the game. I think the President is going

680
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: to have to accept the fact that we're fighting for

681
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: people who are going to be potentially unemployed. He's going

682
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: to have to accept the fact that we're going to

683
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: push on doctor and nurse protections. But also when you

684
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: look at the best, you know, the best healthcare system

685
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: in the world, that's something that's up for debates. South Korea,

686
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: we're up to. South Korea has up to ten thousand

687
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: tests per day. They've been able to provide test to

688
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: any single person that wants it, and here people are scrambling,

689
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: and it almost seems like the more wealthy and powerful

690
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 1: you are, the more able you're able, the more able

691
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: you are to access a test. But the more you know,

692
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: the rougher road you've got here, it's going to be

693
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: a lot more difficult for you to access healthcare. That's

694
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: exactly the recipe for disaster in the pandemic now AOC.

695
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: I look, I always try to do this, and I

696
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: think I do a pretty good job, certainly better than

697
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: a lot of other people that think that they work

698
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: in the media. When something is good, or when something

699
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: is brave, or when something is right, I say it

700
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: AOC went on Brett Bear Show. Now, Brett Bear is

701
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: very fair, he's not an opinion guy. I don't think

702
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: AOC would sit down with like Tucker because that might

703
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: which by the way, would be amazing. But sitting down

704
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: with Brett Bart, let's give some credit. She's able to

705
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: go and sit down and do that. I when I

706
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: say able, she's willing to do that. A lot of Democrats,

707
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: a lot of Libs will never do that, won't do it,

708
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: won't subject themselves to anybody that doesn't just give them

709
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: softball after softball and tell them how wonderful they are,

710
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: which I think is really it is hurting. It's part

711
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: of the polarization in this country. It is hurting discourse.

712
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: I mean, some of you haven't asked me, especially given

713
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: the last time I went on you know, Bill Mars Show. Yeah,

714
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 1: they were disrespectful and unfair and didn't let me talk.

715
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: But I'm there, I'm making my points. They act that way,

716
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: people at least get to see. I'll argue, I'll argue

717
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 1: the other side. I'll argue my side on anything with anyone, anytime, anywhere.

718
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: No such things like oh I can't unless you know

719
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit down with like, you know, members

720
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: of the Nation of Islam or neo Nazis or whatever. Right,

721
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that, But I'm saying anybody, there's

722
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: no forum I won't go into for fear of having

723
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: to deal with the other side. In fact, quite the opposite.

724
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: I'd go on CNN tonight. I would go on Anesty

725
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: Cooper show and talk about the Trump administration's response to this.

726
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: No problem. They just won't have me because they're afraid

727
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 1: that their anchors will get schooled. Then they will. So

728
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: that's there's a huge difference by the way, between one

729
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: on one versus multi person. When it's multi person, it's

730
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: just think of it almost like a fight. You know,

731
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't care how good you think you are as

732
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: a fighter. If there are four people, and of course

733
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: some of you, I'm gonna get in a preser mark.

734
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: There's so many jiu jitsu experts in this audience, you know.

735
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: Whatever I bring this stuff up, they're like, book, I'm

736
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,720
Speaker 1: a ninth degree black belt and I studied in Kyoto

737
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: with sense blah badih blah, and I could do like

738
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: a and I'm always just like, okay, that's good for you.

739
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: But for the rest of us, if three or four

740
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: people attack you, I don't care. If you're like a strong,

741
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: tough person, you're gonna have your hands full if three

742
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: able bodied males attack you as a guy, you know,

743
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: whereas you know one on one, you might think you've

744
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: got a pretty good shot against a lot of people.

745
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: Same thing when you're debating. If if you're arguing with

746
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: four people because you can't, they're gonna have a lot

747
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: more time to speak than you. There's no equal time.

748
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: What you have something to add to this conversation. You

749
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: called me over, so I came over. Oh yeah, no,

750
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: I just I mean, you see in our on our inboxman,

751
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: there are people that, oh yeah, somebody expert on everything.

752
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: We had a guy and by the way, I don't

753
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this and anything other than other than respect.

754
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: We had a guy when I talked about the fl license,

755
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, one of you is gonna write and we

756
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: got a whole paragraph about how much an FFL license

757
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: costs and how you get one. Yeah, you know, I

758
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: think there are a few of them. Actually, we have

759
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: a lot of toilet paper experts at these days. Well, well,

760
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: let's be honest though, we're all kind of toilet paper experts,

761
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: are we? No human doesn't use it? And if you do, actually,

762
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: I want want to hear from you. If you don't

763
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 1: use toilet paper, I want someone's figured out a better way. Yeah,

764
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: then then i'd be I'd be somewhat curious to see

765
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: how that goes. So anyway, So AOC, I'm just saying

766
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: I I respect people for I can't say I respect

767
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: AOC's positions or knowledge about anything, but I respect that

768
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: she has the goal. And I will say even even

769
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: Bill mar when I did his show afterwards, he said,

770
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm the sugar Ray Leonard of Conservative Tis And you know,

771
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: he does give he doesn't give respect on are to

772
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: people that he shouldn't necessarily from the right, but he

773
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: does understand that there are a lot of people that

774
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: just won't even won't even try, I won't even show up,

775
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: or even worse, they show up and they're like, yeah,

776
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: you're right, you know, I mean Donald Trump's kind of

777
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 1: terrible actually, and yeah, I know. I want you guys

778
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: to nod your heads and like me. I don't care,

779
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: don't like me, that's fine. Live audience doesn't matter. So

780
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: I'd rather be right than be loved. Maybe that should

781
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: be hm, I kind of like that. Actually, what do

782
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,959
Speaker 1: you think I think I think we'd use that. So

783
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: where was I? Oh? Yes, AOC. So there are two

784
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: worthwhile parts of what she says here. The first has

785
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: to do with wealthy people getting tests. Now, I have

786
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: a friend right now who is receiving and he's been

787
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: very vocal about it. I won't name him because I've

788
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: also been talking to him offline about it. But I

789
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: have a friend in conservative media who's waiting for his

790
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: current see I'm most did it wuhan virus? And I

791
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: need to get into why it's important to call it that.

792
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: Waiting for his wuhan virus test today. I think he's

793
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: supposed to get it, might be tomorrow get back results.

794
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: And he has been one of these people who's saying

795
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: that it has been a nightmare to get the test,

796
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: like trying to actually get the tests they make it.

797
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: You know, you're on the align with the CDC, with

798
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: your healthcare provider. Nobody can figure this thing out, folks, friends,

799
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: This actually isn't really that complicated. This should be very doable.

800
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: This is a failing. But before we get into why,

801
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: it's a failing. You have now some very prominent people

802
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: who have been either confirmed to be in contact with

803
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 1: wuhan virus or are officially confirmed to have wuhan virus.

804
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is on Brett Bear Show, and right

805
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: around at that point in time, I think it came

806
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: out that that was six pm last night, so I

807
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: was in who I think that's when we saw that

808
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had self quarantine and his wife

809
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: was showing symptoms. Turns out the Prime Minister of Canada's

810
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: wife has coronavirus um that I can, right, I don't

811
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: know enough about sports, producer Mark. You remember the NBA

812
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: player who has been confirmed with it on the Jazz

813
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: right as Rudy Gobert. Rudy Gobert, he has it, right,

814
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: he has corona. Yes. And also Donovan Mitchell, who's from

815
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: Queens is on the same team as the JABA players.

816
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: Are two players and he's a star. Ah yeah, yeah,

817
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 1: So we're all stars though, producer Mark, we're all unique

818
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 1: snowflakes made in God's image. Yes, of course, thank you.

819
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: We're all special. We're all special. So that's uh, that's

820
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,959
Speaker 1: bringing and of course Tom Hanks and his wife. People

821
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: are now thinking, okay, hold on us, and I believe Balsonaro,

822
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: the president of Brazil, these pro Trump, populous president of Brazil.

823
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 1: Um he has been tested. He is negative. But somebody

824
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: in his retinue, one of his people, communications directors. I

825
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: think either him or his wife has it. I think

826
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: they believe it's tough to even keep up with this,

827
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: but you're seeing and then all, my gosh, the lives

828
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: they all want. They all want to know why President

829
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: Trump has not been has not been tested for this,

830
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: and they think that it was casual enough contact between

831
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: the president and anybody who might have this, that it's

832
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: not necessary. Prominent people are getting this, which is I mean,

833
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: it's bad that anyone gets this, but it is at

834
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: least raising awareness that anyone can pick this up, that

835
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: this is a just like anyone can pick up a

836
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: cold right. It doesn't matter who you are. Prominent people

837
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: can get this. And why is it though, that they're

838
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: able to get a test so quickly? AOC brings that up.

839
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: I will say that it I mean, maybe that's just

840
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: a perception. Maybe those prominent people are just able to

841
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: maneuver the system. More effectively because I don't know, but

842
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: I do know that my friend who's been he's been

843
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: waiting for over a week to even find out what's

844
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: going on with this test, and I think it took

845
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: him a week to get the test, and you know

846
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: that's that's unacceptable. So the testing issue is real. Look,

847
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: if we had if we had a test sent to

848
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: the home of every American in the country, let's understand

849
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: that would be helpful. I'm not going to pretend like

850
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 1: that's not helpful to know who has it right now,

851
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: But it wouldn't mean that we wouldn't have to worry

852
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: about this, right It wouldn't mean that we still wouldn't

853
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: have a surge coming up possibly of confirmed cases. And

854
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: they're still community spread and you know, you know, so

855
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: even if you knew who had it, you'd have to

856
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: know who had it and then know everyone that they

857
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: came in. They call it contact tracing, and you'd have

858
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: to do a contact trace of anybody that would come

859
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: into contact with that person. Because I also don't know

860
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: if you if you're able to if they're able to

861
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: pick the virus up before you're symptomatic. I don't know

862
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 1: the sensitivity of the test. I mean, there's a lot

863
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: that goes into this, and there are a lot of

864
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 1: still on unanswered questions and one there was one news

865
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: is Once report today. I think, does the Miami of

866
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the Mayor of Miami, the Miami of mayors? Well,

867
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 1: that would probably be really interesting. But does the Mayor

868
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: of Miami have it? Or is Pricer Mark? Would you

869
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: check from me on that? When I think, I don't

870
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: want to ever say that the public figure has coronavirus

871
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: and doesn't, but I thought I saw that there's so

872
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: many headlines coming out on this, so yes he does, right, Yeah,

873
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: the Mayor of Miami does have it, so that you

874
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: know has coronavirus. So people are getting this all right,

875
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: so we know that there is this problem with the testing,

876
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: and let's understand this right now. There are going to

877
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: be discussions about this. This is what the left has

878
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: focused on. And I see how long I've gone without

879
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: really making this political. I'm gonna try to do that

880
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: as much as possible, because this is one of the

881
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: very people always say well, this is not political, when

882
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: they mean it's very political. You know, it's as political

883
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: as it gets, you know. Oh, and just talking about

884
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, access to women's reproductive health. This shouldn't be political,

885
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: oh police, it's very political. This is actually above that,

886
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: this issue of protecting our vulnerable population. We also we

887
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: keep talking about vulnerable seniors. Um, it's not just seniors

888
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: who are in the vulnerable population. And you know, as

889
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: I've said, the one thing whenever you talk about vulnerable seniors,

890
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 1: everybody's got a mom and dad, a grandma, grandpa, great grandma,

891
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 1: great grandpa, great uncle. You know. You know, so even

892
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: if you're not in that population age wise, there are

893
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: people then you know, nearest and dearest people to your

894
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: heart are And so that's why everyone focuses in on

895
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: this and understands this is like, you know, we go

896
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: to war with this virus, so they don't touch you know,

897
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: grandma or grandpa or anybody else. Right, That's that's what

898
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: we're trying to accomplish here. But it's not even just

899
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: that age, that age cohort that really has to be

900
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: on guard when they talk about comorbidities. You know, this

901
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: is where everyone starts to think about how you know,

902
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: your your health is so important and you must do

903
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: everything you can. Is on each and every one of

904
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: us now, I know people get I have celiac disease,

905
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: not because I'm a bad guy, right, I mean, people

906
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: have things that come up. It's not because I made

907
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: bad choices. It just is. But to the degree, no,

908
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: I don't need gluten, And that's what I mean. You

909
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: make the choices you can because if if you don't,

910
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: you're just going to play a worse hand. You know,

911
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: we've all been dealt a hand with our health, but

912
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 1: you've got to play the best hand you can. There

913
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: was a very interesting I'm trying to find it right now.

914
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. There's so much information coming in team. So

915
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: if today sounds a little bit less, you know, a

916
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: little more free form of a show and a little

917
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 1: bit less like I've got this precise. Usually I come

918
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,919
Speaker 1: in here and I've got three hours of topics broken down,

919
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, issue by issue, content by content. What's the takeaway?

920
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how I approach the show today. I

921
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: just feel like we're all drinking from a fire hose.

922
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 1: So it's a little more of a as we go. Okay,

923
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: this was on respiratory fitness. I thought this was this

924
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: was fascinating and for America, you have to put this

925
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: in the overall column in terms of our ability to

926
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: withstand the spread of this disease. This is from Carl Quintanilla,

927
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: who is a reporter anchor at at CNBC, and he says,

928
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: the two most important parameters in respiratory fitness. This really matters,

929
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: right because this disease goes for the lungs. That is,

930
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: that is the way that this is taking people, taking

931
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: them out where they have to go to the hospital.

932
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: And then even some people don't make it through, don't

933
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: win the fight in the hospital, even if they have intubation,

934
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: if they're in the ICU. So respiratory fitness is really

935
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: really important, and he says the two most important factors

936
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 1: in that are one. Now, one of these is an look.

937
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: I have a lot of sympathy for people that have

938
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 1: any kind of an addiction. I get it, But I'm

939
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: just looking at the numbers here, are looking at the

940
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: aggregate of what we're facing. Whether the person smokes cigarettes,

941
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: it's very very important when you're gauging their respiratory finness.

942
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: So I'm telling you this because you know, I know

943
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of team buck that you're you know,

944
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: you smoke, and I'm just looking out for you. You

945
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: have to consider yourself if you're a smoker in a

946
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: higher risk Even if you're a thirty five year old

947
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 1: or a thirty year old smoker, you got to consider

948
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: yourself to be in a higher risk category in this.

949
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: So please take those precautions that people are talking about.

950
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: I know it's a little counterintuitive, but if you're if

951
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: you're a long time smoker, I mean not if you

952
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 1: smoke one cigarette a month or something, but if you're

953
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: a long time smoker and you're in your thirties and

954
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: your forties and your fifties, you got to think about

955
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: this like your this disease is going to come after

956
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: you very very possibly like somebody who's in their seventies

957
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: or their eighties, in terms of your lung your ability

958
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: for your lungs to fight back against this. So you

959
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: got to be very careful. And the pollution level is

960
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: the other part of this that's also a really important

961
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: indicator for how well member. You know, I was in China,

962
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: as I said a year ago, and I was I

963
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: was leaving Shanghai, which usually is not as badly polluted

964
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: as as Beijing, and it's it is like something out

965
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: of a post apocalyptic movie when the and it was

966
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: still there, and it's apparently a lot better than it

967
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 1: used to be. But you can see this, you know,

968
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: I can't even really explain it to you. I mean,

969
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,879
Speaker 1: it just looks like a collection of smog and when

970
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: the sun's going down, it kind of bounces off it

971
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: in a not appealing way. And you know, you have

972
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: this this goo that's all in the air. It's just pollution.

973
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm all about conservation. I'm against pollution.

974
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm just not against CO two, which plants rely on

975
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: for air, and you know that's CO two is not

976
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 1: a polluting but we all have to pretend, because the

977
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 1: green movement is insane, pollution is bad. And I'm all like, no,

978
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: we do not want these you know, industrial facilities spewing

979
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: out acrid smoke that that hurts your lungs, and you

980
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: know we breathe out ct So how much of a

981
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 1: polluting isn't really folks, let's think about that for a second.

982
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: We're it's literally coming out of your body every second.

983
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 1: We're supposed to think that's that's pollution anyway, don't get

984
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: me started on that. You know, these days, I'll tell

985
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 1: you as a part of me. I don't know. I'm

986
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: a little rebel, you know what I'm not doing these

987
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: days as we're all like in lockdown and trying to

988
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: stay alive and worried about our loved ones. No, they

989
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: can come after me for the not recycling. Sorry, not

990
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: doing it. It's going right into trash. I'm sorry. I

991
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: don't want to hear about it. More important things stankkul

992
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: All right, So on smoking and on pollution, the smoking

993
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: rate and the average pollution levels. Here's what you got,

994
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 1: country by country. China smoking rate forty seven percent, average

995
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: pollution level forty one percent. South Korea smoking rate forty

996
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: nine percent, average pollution level twenty four percent. Iran smoking

997
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: rate twenty one percent, average pollution level twenty four percent.

998
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: Italy twenty eight smoking rate, pollution fourteen. United States smoking nineteen,

999
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: pollution nine. This matters. We have a lower percentage of smokers,

1000
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: and we have and this is probably the most important

1001
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: in terms of looking at the aggregate numbers and how

1002
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: this will affect the population of this country. Overall, we

1003
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: have much cleaner air than these other countries. Now, I

1004
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: know this seems like, how can this really matter? This

1005
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: is what It all comes down to, is can your

1006
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:28,879
Speaker 1: lungs get enough oxygen to the rest of your body

1007
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: if and when this thing attacks you and your lungs.

1008
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: If you are dealing with daily pollution all the time,

1009
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 1: your lung capacity is affected and the strain on your

1010
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: lungs is already higher. So I'm not Look, this is

1011
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,399
Speaker 1: not like, oh, we're great. It's America. We got clean air,

1012
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: so we're not. No, of course, this has still killed

1013
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: people in this country. I think it just killed the

1014
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: first person in New Jersey. It's killed a bunch of

1015
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 1: seniors out in Washington State. But we're in better shape

1016
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: than a lot of these countries we've already seen from

1017
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: day one, because of the health of our population and

1018
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 1: because of the age of our population. Italy's population is

1019
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: much older than ours as a percentage, and then also pollution.

1020
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom hud. This is the Buck Sexton

1021
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: Show podcast. So I also wanted to get into the

1022
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 1: testing situation here because we're told a lot about the

1023
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: failure and the testing. There's some lessons here about the

1024
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: CDC and about bureaucracy, and then also about ingenuity, and

1025
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: there's a big focus now that I want to drill

1026
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: down to a little bit about local government, local action,

1027
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: and how if you're relying on the FEDS, you're going

1028
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: to be waiting a very long time. Local governments are

1029
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: stepping up now in a way that we should focus on.

1030
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the bus Sex and Show podcasts.

1031
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or

1032
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts, just to give you a

1033
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: little bit of a of a either a little bit

1034
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: of a pause in all the Wuhan, I haven't even

1035
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: gotten into the reason why we should call it that,

1036
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: and try I keep meaning to and team, there's so

1037
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 1: much and look, we're gonna be in this together. We're

1038
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: in this every day until this thing is passed. So

1039
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: shields high for real. This was a story that I

1040
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 1: thought was just worth taking a moment to look at.

1041
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: Andrew Gillham. You may remember Andrew Gillham. He was a

1042
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: very celebrated by the media gubernatorial candidate for the state

1043
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: of Florida, very important state as we all know, for

1044
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. And he was the mayor of Tallahassee, which,

1045
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 1: as I understand it is not a particularly well run city.

1046
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: It's got city with some problems, but it turned and

1047
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: I think, now he's a CNN contributor. He was because

1048
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, CNN, if you become a famous Democrat running

1049
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 1: for office, you know the first thing you move when

1050
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 1: you move to when you lose is you just go

1051
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: to Jeff Zucker and he starts writing your checks. Turns

1052
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,280
Speaker 1: out that this is breaking news from today. Andrew Gillham

1053
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: was quote in an inebriated state, inebriated state, on the

1054
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: scene of a possible drug overdose at the Mandrean South

1055
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: Beach Hotel early this morning with clear plastic baggies containing

1056
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 1: suspected crystal meth. Not only was he the Democrats and

1057
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: he came close to winning the Democrats favorite I mean,

1058
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: the media love this guy. He was their choice for

1059
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:37,919
Speaker 1: the governor of California, I'm sorry, pardon me, governor of Florida.

1060
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: But he also was talked about by some people as

1061
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: a possible VP candidate. And look, if this was like

1062
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago and he was a young guy and

1063
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: this happened and we found this out later, I'd be like, hey,

1064
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, look, I know drugs are bad,

1065
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: oding is very serious. I get all that, but you know,

1066
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: I think we're living at a time now where we

1067
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: are more forgiving of people's youthful and disgressions, and we

1068
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: used to be al much just having on. Then we

1069
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: make up in discretions that didn't happen, and we make

1070
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: up assaults that didn't happen. But you know, in general,

1071
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: I think we're a little bit work But not if

1072
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 1: you're being talked about, actively talked about as a possible

1073
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 1: VP candidate, then you probably shouldn't be in an inebriated

1074
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: state at a drug overdose scene at the Mandrea and

1075
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: South Beach Hotel. I've been too, by the way, which

1076
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 1: let me tell you, party never stops there. That place

1077
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: is the place is lit lit af for sure, that's

1078
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: where that's where the party happens. I'm just telling you

1079
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 1: it's a lot of at the Mandrean and at once

1080
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 1: that other the slsoh, man, you better put your party

1081
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 1: shoes on if you go to the SLS and South Beach.

1082
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: I can tell you that much. So Andrew Gillam will

1083
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: see if this ends up being what it looks like.

1084
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, yeah, that's a that's a real thing

1085
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: that's going on right now. That's a news story for

1086
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: you that has nothing to do with virus. Um okay,

1087
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,839
Speaker 1: so CDC and then uhuan virus and then we gotta

1088
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: get into some other stuff. The CDC is a federal

1089
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 1: bureaucracy that is vast and bloated and wasteful and spends

1090
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:09,839
Speaker 1: a lot of time not doing We all think, here,

1091
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: here's our perception. And it reminds me a little bit

1092
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: of the movie The Strain, which I'll come back to

1093
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: later because there's a lot of If you haven't watched it,

1094
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: I think now is the time to watch that show.

1095
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, if you haven't seen The Strain,

1096
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of about it's a pandemic. That's really Also

1097
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: it's set of a disease. It's a vampire. Essentially, a

1098
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: vampire disease makes people in the vampires. That's a disease. Look,

1099
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm just if you're gonna be corn self quarantining or

1100
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: social distancing and you want something to watch, maybe it's

1101
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: the worst thing to watch because it might freak you

1102
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: out a little bit because the hero is a guy

1103
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: from the CDC. The main character is like the CDC

1104
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: director of you know, infectious Disease. It's basically doctor Fauci,

1105
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: but like a forty years younger version of him, who

1106
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: somehow is also really good with like machetes and weapons.

1107
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: But you know, of course, so although I bet Fouchi,

1108
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: I bet Fouchi you could throw it down if you

1109
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: needed to in the zombie apocalypse. I don't know. I

1110
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: get the feeling, you know, if you talk to him,

1111
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: he probably in the Old County, you know, in the

1112
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: old country, back in the day, and the Bronx played

1113
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: a little stickball, and I bet he was in some scraps.

1114
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: So you know, I can just see a day and said,

1115
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: you know Tony Fauci from the Bronx. Okay, so is

1116
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: his name Anthea? It's Anthony right. The CDC was asked

1117
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: if they could allow labs to do their own tests,

1118
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: and they said no, because they're not allowed to say

1119
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: yes because the bureaucracy has rules and the bureaucracy won't

1120
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: just bend rules. Now, that's probably where Trump should have

1121
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: put out an executive order for the CDC to be

1122
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: able to expedite any test requests, and not just test requests,

1123
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: but the ability to set up a test and do

1124
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: it remotely. Because there are a lot of state labs

1125
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: that have the ability to do this. I will say

1126
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo, who I've given a hard time too many times,

1127
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: and I think rightly so in the past. Governor Cuomo

1128
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: seems like he's on this. You know, I believe strongly

1129
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 1: that you know, the Democrats, and you're seeing this from

1130
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: the Democrat executive leadership roles a lot more than seeing him.

1131
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: The legislators are all doing the Schumer Trump is terrible.

1132
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: He can't handle it. We're all gonna die because Trump.

1133
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: That's what Schumer is doing, which is disgusting. Same thing

1134
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: with Hippolo. If I was in charge, yeah, you're in charge,

1135
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: you'd have to wake you up from a Chardonnay nap.

1136
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: But Newsom seems like he's on it. Cuomo seems like

1137
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: he's on it, and I'm thankful about that. You know,

1138
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: I don't see them. I don't see them taking cheap shots.

1139
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: Maybe that'll it will change at some point, but I

1140
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: think while we're in the midst of this pandemic, you

1141
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:40,959
Speaker 1: know they're they're on our side. They're on our team,

1142
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: and they're making that pretty clear from their public actions.

1143
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: Cuomo set up a drive through clinic just like South

1144
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: Korea has here in New York, and now they're prioritizing

1145
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 1: people from neuroshewe, which has been the hardest hit, and

1146
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: they're prioritizing anybody with symptoms over people that just think

1147
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: they may have been exposed. But we've got to drive

1148
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: through where you'll be able to go sample. You're in

1149
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 1: your car, you don't have to deal with anybody be

1150
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 1: exposed to anybody. That's the kind of stuff we need.

1151
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: We need ingenuity, We need people to be thinking outside

1152
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: the box to use the resources we have most effectively.

1153
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 1: And the CDC, I hate to say it got in

1154
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: the way of that. CDC slowed down, slowed down a

1155
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: lab in Washington State that wanted to start doing testing.

1156
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: Not good. The CDC slowed down. You know, the processing

1157
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: of this stuff. I mean, there's been a lot of

1158
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of bureaucratic red tape at a

1159
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: time when man, we should be taking a chainsaw to

1160
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: red tape. And if there's ever a time where you

1161
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: could expect that government would finally wake up and be like, Okay,

1162
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: we just got to do what we need to do here.

1163
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 1: You know, I'm hoping that we have a vaccine in

1164
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 1: a year, and I mean I think that the press. Look,

1165
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Trump is a guy who understands incentives. You know, we

1166
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: we should say, you know, whoever whoever gets a vaccine.

1167
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, would anybody I'm just gonna put this out there.

1168
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:55,919
Speaker 1: I don't even know how the mechanism for this. People

1169
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:59,479
Speaker 1: have talked about bounties for curing diseases before, but would

1170
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: anybody check to you know, whatever, you get to sell

1171
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: your vaccine and the government's going to reimburse you for that, fine,

1172
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 1: we should put a three or four or five billion

1173
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: dollar bounty on top of whoever cures this thing, whoever

1174
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: gets the cure and gets it done the fastest. I

1175
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 1: don't see why that's Think about how much money that

1176
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: would save the government. I mean, so it shouldn't. You know,

1177
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: the market is working here, but there's all these regulations

1178
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: and everything else. Maybe a little a little bit, a

1179
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:26,439
Speaker 1: little bit of an extra incentive. I would be all

1180
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: for it, because remember, this is not this is like

1181
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 1: a foreign invasion. This is not standard market stuff. This

1182
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: goes beyond that, right. You know. It's kind of like

1183
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 1: if you see a marketplace that's operating, and you know,

1184
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: you want to have rules and contracts and people in

1185
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: free exchange and they can buy you're not buy into

1186
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 1: all these things. If somebody shows up with a flamethrower

1187
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: to let the whole market on fire, that's when the

1188
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: government has to step in, right, that's when you actually

1189
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: want something other than just like the free exchange of

1190
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: goods and services. And this virus is is like that flamethrower,

1191
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: and this virus is trying to just burn it all down.

1192
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: So we do need Now there's a role for government,

1193
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: there's a role for every individual, and there's a role

1194
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: for everything in between. And as I've been saying, you

1195
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: are responsible for your health. This is one thing that

1196
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: I've had to learn because I've had many frustrating experiences

1197
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 1: with the medical community. And some doctors who listen to

1198
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: the show have told me, you know that they think

1199
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: that that's that's not representative or whatever, and that's fine.

1200
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: I just can only speak from my own experience. I

1201
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 1: find that modern medicine can be great. It can also

1202
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: be really really disappointing because of the system we have,

1203
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: because of the incentive structure, because of healthcare the way

1204
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: it is, and you know, the bureaucratization of things. When

1205
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 1: we really need people who are allowed to heal and

1206
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: focus and work with people. So that's that's good to see.

1207
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 1: In New York. We have the localization of approaches, and

1208
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: this is where the federalist system we have the genius

1209
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: of that federalist system. The federal government's doing its thing,

1210
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, has to put some funding in place, maybe

1211
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: some broad rules of the road, but every community should

1212
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: be coming up with what they do here. And we're

1213
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: also going to be learning. Some communities will do things

1214
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: that work, some won't. Those communities will will unfortunately pay

1215
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: a price based on those decisions. But that also allows

1216
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 1: other communities to say, whoa, Okay, so this place did

1217
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 1: this and that worked out pretty well. This other place didn't.

1218
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: And this is where everyone starts. Looking at the flu

1219
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: pandemic of nineteen eighteen Spanish flu, where I believe at

1220
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: the time Philadelphia and Saint Louis were the third and

1221
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: fourth largest cities in the country, respectively. I didn't realize

1222
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 1: Saint Louis was ever that big comparatively, but you know,

1223
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 1: I guess this is what this is what I've read,

1224
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 1: so I'm assuming it's right, and Philadelphia makes sense to me.

1225
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: But you didn't have the explosion of population on the

1226
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: West coast cities like California and I'm sorry, like San

1227
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Francisco and Los Angeles until into the twenty you know,

1228
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: in the nineteen twenty nine, thirty forties. So Philadelphia did

1229
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 1: not take the kind of quarantine shutdown measures that we've seen,

1230
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 1: and Saint Louis did, and Saint Louis had a much

1231
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: better outcome from that flu than Philadelphia. Right, So you

1232
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: see that different cities make different decisions and that affect them.

1233
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: So the local has become very important. Now we've got

1234
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 1: to get to wuhan virus. And why do we call

1235
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: it that? You're in the freedom of hide it. This

1236
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. The World Health Organization

1237
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: now has officially officially declared COVID nineteen a pandemic. Down

1238
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 1: Playing in being overly dismissed or spreading misinformation is only

1239
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: going to hurt us and further advantage the spread of

1240
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 1: the disease. But neither should repent it or fall back

1241
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: on xenophobia. Labeling COVID nineteen a foreign virus does not

1242
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 1: displace the accountability for the misjudgments that have been taken

1243
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: thus far by the Trump administration, so maybe crystal clear.

1244
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: The coronavirus does not have a political affiliation, will infect Republicans,

1245
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: independence and democrats of life. Will not discriminate based on

1246
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: national origin, race, gender, or zip code. We'll touch people

1247
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: and physicians of power as well as most vulnerable in

1248
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 1: our society. You will not stuff rady at all. Travel

1249
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: from Europe or in it a part of the world

1250
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:17,919
Speaker 1: may slow it, but as we've seen, it will not

1251
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: suffer the traveler restriction is based on favoritism and politics. Rather,

1252
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: risk will be counterproductive. Joe Biden is not a strategic mind. Yeah,

1253
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: and so I'm trying to avoid that. He's a blundering

1254
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,919
Speaker 1: buffoon and a moron who is corrupting all that stuff. Today.

1255
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: There'll be other days where I say that more openly

1256
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: because I think that that's all true. But Joe, Joe

1257
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: Biden is not somebody that I think we should listen

1258
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: to on this at all. And also there's a lot

1259
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 1: that he says there he's trying to do the travel restrictions,

1260
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: he's basically saying this isn't political, and then he tries

1261
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: to take all these political shots at the administration as

1262
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 1: though we're not clever enough to figure that out. But

1263
01:05:55,840 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: when he says that coronavirus, see, I just did it.

1264
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen as he calls it, has no nationality, or

1265
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: we shouldn't fall victims of xenophobia. That is Chinese propaganda

1266
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: right now from the Chinese government. In fact, the Chinese

1267
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: government has already produced a book that they're distributing, and

1268
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: I believe they've already translated in different languages. Fox Knew

1269
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: has a story about this that Americas are sponsible for this,

1270
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: and maybe America even did this on purpose. They're telling

1271
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: the Chinese people this. Now, a lot of the more

1272
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: sophisticated Chinese news consumers are going to be like, come on,

1273
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: this is more of the Communist Party. But a lot

1274
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: of them won't. A lot of them will think that

1275
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: maybe they've been through this horrible scenario because of nefarious

1276
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 1: American activity. My friends, Trump is the first president to

1277
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: realize what we're really dealing with when it comes to

1278
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: China and the confrontation that looms on the horizon here

1279
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 1: of two superpowers, it's us and them, and they want

1280
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: to be number one. They want to be the hedgemon.

1281
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: That's very clear from everybody who's paying attention to what's

1282
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: going on in that country. And I even said when

1283
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 1: I was there, I'm talking to people who are in

1284
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: the business community in China. There's been a shift from

1285
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: the Chinese culturally, politically, and from a just a news

1286
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 1: consumer perspective thinking America's great. American markets are all some

1287
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: American Coca Cola is delicious and McDonald's is wonderful and

1288
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff that we've all the globalization

1289
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 1: who look at this too. Now, we're better than America.

1290
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 1: They're kind of lazy, they're kind of slow, and we're

1291
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 1: going to defeat them, and we're rivals, and in fact,

1292
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 1: we're better than they are. There's been a shift in

1293
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 1: their thinking, and the Chinese Communist Party knows this, and

1294
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 1: they're also going to have to deal with a lot

1295
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 1: of economic displacement in their own country. A lot of

1296
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 1: people are upset, and totalitarian regimes know that the narrative

1297
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: that they even if they have to force it down

1298
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: people's throats, the narrative of regime self preservation is very important,

1299
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: and we are going to see that continue to be

1300
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: an issue here. We're going to see them try to

1301
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: convince their own population and as much as the rest

1302
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 1: of the world as they can that this is an

1303
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 1: American problem. No, this came from China. China lied about it.

1304
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 1: Because China lied about it, there was much more global spread.

1305
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 1: People in Italy got this. There's a large influx of

1306
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 1: tourists from China to Italy. Italy is one of the

1307
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: great tourist destinations, of course for the whole world. But

1308
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, they the Chinese government's lack of transparency on

1309
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: this issue had real consequences for other countries and they're

1310
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 1: now trying to displace that unto us, and that's unacceptable.

1311
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 1: This is the Wuhan virus comes from Wuhan City, China.

1312
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 1: That is what happened, and whether it escaped from a

1313
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 1: virology lab which is which is I wouldn't say it's

1314
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 1: a conspiracy, it's a theory. It's happened before. So people say, oh,

1315
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: that would never happen. Well, they've lost other viruses that

1316
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 1: have gotten to the general population. They just didn't happen

1317
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 1: to be as bad as this one. But it probably

1318
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: came from the animal trade there. As I said, there's

1319
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: I think they called zoo nah transmission between different animals,

1320
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 1: did different species and you know, maybe China need not

1321
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: allow people to eat like rare and endangered and bizarre

1322
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 1: animals as a regular practice. You know, we do have

1323
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: laws here that you know, you can't you can't keep

1324
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,719
Speaker 1: livestock within city limits. There are reasons for that, because

1325
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: we don't want people, you know, living next to pig

1326
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: pens and goat farms and all these things in very

1327
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 1: very close quarters for reasons like this. And if you

1328
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 1: look at the way Chinese animal husbandry takes place, or

1329
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, with livestock, the way that they proximity to

1330
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 1: livestock and the sanitary conditions. Chinese have a huge livestock

1331
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: industry and particularly pork pigs. That's why they're very upset

1332
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,639
Speaker 1: about the swine flu epidemic the last time around, because

1333
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 1: it had really affected their their pork industry, and that

1334
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 1: is something that China doesn't want to have to deal

1335
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 1: with or be held to account for. But you know,

1336
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,640
Speaker 1: Chinese practices when it comes to the senate conditions of

1337
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: their livestock industry, Chinese pollution, these are issues that affect

1338
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: the whole world, and China is not a good neighbor

1339
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 1: on this stuff at all. It's the opposite and that's

1340
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:12,720
Speaker 1: really where you're going to see this conflict, this continued

1341
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: friction playout in public. And that's why we call it

1342
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: the Wuhan virus, because that is what it is. It

1343
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 1: is a virus from Wuhan. We are now Producer Mark

1344
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: and I are thinking about how we get home safe

1345
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 1: from the center of New York City and what's going

1346
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 1: to happen to our loved ones, and what's going to

1347
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: happen to our city, and what's gonna happen to our

1348
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: country and to our fellow Americans. Because of what happened

1349
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 1: in China and the way that Chinese government did not

1350
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 1: respond openly and with an eye toward humanitarianism and people first.

1351
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 1: We now we are sitting here in New York City,

1352
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 1: and because of what happened in Wuhan City, China, and

1353
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 1: the way the authorities reacted to what happened there, that's

1354
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: affecting all of our lives. It's affecting the lives of

1355
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: every single one of you who's listening to this. I

1356
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,080
Speaker 1: know you're all making the same decisions, you all the

1357
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 1: same concerns, and you know we're standing here just waiting

1358
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: to see are we you know, are we faced with

1359
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: an onslaught or are we going to be able to

01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 1: everybody's going to appreciate my wisdom because I have a

1377
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:11,840
Speaker 1: little different take on everything that's going on now than

1378
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: everyone else, but I'm giving it anyway. Well that's what

1379
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: we're here for man. We know that we can go unfiltered,

1380
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: uncensored with Jesse Kelly, especially if we're taping it, because

1381
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: then we can bleep out anything we have to, so,

1382
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: which is always a smart move I found out. So, dude,

1383
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. You know my brother. I've got

1384
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 1: two brothers. They're They're the greatest dudes in the world.

1385
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 1: You'd want them in your foxhole, you'd want them at

1386
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: your party, Like, they're great guys. My brother last night

1387
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:39,719
Speaker 1: was at a Whole Foods here and he's like, I wonder,

1388
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 1: and you know, he texted me, He's like, I wonder

1389
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: what it's going to be like in there, and he

1390
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 1: kind of it was kind of like that scene in

1391
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 1: a movie where he walks in and it's like, oh,

1392
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: that's very quiet. It's kind of civilized. And then he

1393
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: turned a corner and he started sending me photos in

1394
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 1: real time. Empty shelf, empty shelf, empty shelf. Oh there's

1395
01:12:56,080 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 1: the vegan section totally full, empty shelf, empty shelf. Like, well,

1396
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 1: what's it like down in Texas right now? Are people

1397
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 1: panic buying like that? No? No, And this is interesting.

1398
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 1: I had a conversation with somebody from Pennsylvania. Somebody who lives,

1399
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 1: you know, not rural, but I mean certainly not the

1400
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 1: city Pennsylvania. And I asked, hey, what's it like there

1401
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: are are the shells empty or people panicking? And this

1402
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 1: person told the point blank, they said no. They said

1403
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:26,560
Speaker 1: they think all this panic everyone else is doing is ridiculous.

1404
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 1: Everybody's going about their lives relatively normally. And yesterday I

1405
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 1: went to an arcade. I took my sons to an arcade,

1406
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,719
Speaker 1: which arcades are sweet. Now, by the way, I highly recommended.

1407
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 1: I haven't done that forever. Took my sons to an arcade,

1408
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 1: went to a gym, went to a restaurant, went to

1409
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: a grocery store, all of them I frequent regularly. The

1410
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 1: crowds were just as fact as normal. It's as if

1411
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 1: nothing has changed down here. And frankly, I love it.

1412
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 1: I think this a panic is absurd for a virus

1413
01:13:56,160 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 1: that is almost completely safe for people who are old

1414
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 1: and sick. Now, if you work with somebody who's board

1415
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,800
Speaker 1: and sick, you need to take extra precautions. If you're

1416
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,479
Speaker 1: not somebody who's like that, guest, wash your hands more.

1417
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 1: But this hoarding things, as if this is the black

1418
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 1: death Part two is the most ab third public planic

1419
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my entire life, even if I

1420
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 1: had stot like yoga tested, because the virus isn't even dangerous.

1421
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,599
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. I remember, it wasn't Hurricane Sandy,

1422
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 1: which did hit New York really really badly. There was

1423
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 1: a hurricane before Hurricane warning before that, maybe a couple

1424
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: of years, and I don't even remember what it was called,

1425
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 1: but I do remember that I had friends who were

1426
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: acting on the sort of you know, the advice of

1427
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 1: the city and stuff, you know, in the middle of Manhattan,

1428
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: who were filling their bathtubs so that they could have

1429
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 1: access to fresh water. And then when the storm actually came,

1430
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 1: it was it was nothing. It was like some high

1431
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:56,559
Speaker 1: wind and that was one of these times, and we

1432
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:58,919
Speaker 1: had all been told, you know, and the whole Foods

1433
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 1: was it was like, you know, boogie fight night, man.

1434
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: I mean, people were in each other's faces. I went

1435
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: to one, everybody was stocking off. They're all, you know,

1436
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 1: really really freaked out. You know, I'm out of the

1437
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 1: mine because I'm here in New York, and I think

1438
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: you got to take this thing seriously. I also agree

1439
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: with you about the highrist population issue. And you know,

1440
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 1: especially if someone like cares for their parents and their

1441
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 1: parents are in their sixteen seventies or eighties, like you know,

1442
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 1: that's a different situation. But the hoarding of food and

1443
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 1: particularly the hoarding of toilet paper, I mean, there's I

1444
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: just saw a tweet before where there I don't even

1445
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 1: where where Summerlin. I don't even know Whereummerlin is. And

1446
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:33,240
Speaker 1: this is like, I know more about mid East geography

1447
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 1: than American geography, but they say there's like a three

1448
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 1: hour line to get into the Costco just to get in,

1449
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 1: never mind to get out. And think about that level

1450
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 1: of panic buck for something that has killed forty people

1451
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 1: in over twenty of those people were from the exact

1452
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:55,400
Speaker 1: same nursing home in the state of Washington. Again, I

1453
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:58,240
Speaker 1: am not saying this thing is nothing. It's not nothing.

1454
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:01,680
Speaker 1: It is serious. It's spread like wildfire. If you were

1455
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 1: old with heart and learn problems, it is dangerous, extremely

1456
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: for you. For everyone else, including children, There is no

1457
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 1: indication this thing is in any way dangerous. In fact,

1458
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:15,880
Speaker 1: all the numbers come to the fact the regular flu

1459
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 1: is more dangerous for you and me and kids than

1460
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 1: this bugan flu and people are lining up at Tosco

1461
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 1: stocking up at torn toilet paper like they're going to

1462
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 1: crap themselves to death. I find that to be the

1463
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 1: most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of my life. Yeah,

1464
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 1: I Summerland, by the way, is in Nevada. I didn't know.

1465
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 1: I just learned something new, a little little American geography

1466
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 1: lesson for the buckster in real time, because like, I

1467
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 1: can't say things like that on air and not correct myself.

1468
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 1: I gotta know where everything is. Although whatever, we're not

1469
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:46,200
Speaker 1: on radio in Summerland, So work on that, Summerland, work

1470
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 1: on it. But ye know, I gotta tell you, man,

1471
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 1: I think that next week we're really going to see

1472
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna put this out there. I am hoping

1473
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: that I'm not preparing for this to be the case

1474
01:16:57,800 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: because I think that it would be. But but there's

1475
01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:02,200
Speaker 1: a part of me that that hopes that really this

1476
01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 1: has been you know that it's like twenty or thirty percent.

1477
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:09,640
Speaker 1: The anxiety and the fear and the actions were all

1478
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: taking are completely warrant because I think there is there

1479
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: is reason to do stuff and to get ready for this,

1480
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: no question, But I'm hoping that this has been magnified

1481
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 1: substantially by the media, to the point where within a

1482
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks we'll be able to turn around and say, Wow,

1483
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 1: they really were doing this because Orange man bad and

1484
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 1: they hate Trump at some level. Not it's not entirely,

1485
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:30,120
Speaker 1: but I think that they've I think that there's been

1486
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 1: a desire to exaggerate and exacerbate so that they can

1487
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:37,679
Speaker 1: they can hurt people, or they can make fear worse

1488
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 1: than it would otherwise be based on the facts. Oh,

1489
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 1: no question, there's such some of that. Now. I'm actually

1490
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 1: not going to act like that's all. But because the

1491
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 1: truth is what it toasted diseases, they have a way

1492
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:50,759
Speaker 1: of scaring the public in the way that other things don't.

1493
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 1: I mean that the disease is one of those natural

1494
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 1: human spears because you can't see it. I mean you

1495
01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: canl you know, is all of a sudden you get

1496
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:01,680
Speaker 1: in your dad. So it's it's something people are scared of.

1497
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 1: But the shoe as the matter is whose sight of

1498
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:07,559
Speaker 1: the working man too? I mean everyone's talking about, oh,

1499
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: I can't feel out my much madness practice because they're

1500
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 1: canceling all these you know, sports, They just canceled the Masters.

1501
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: And maybe that's stuffs Warreth and maybe it's not, but

1502
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 1: it's not about the players in, the millionaires and the owners,

1503
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 1: the people. Take a step back and think about how

1504
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 1: many people's livelihoods depended on I've been talking regularly hour

1505
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 1: They working people depend on these events going off, and

1506
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: without a second thought, everybody's just closing everything down. Well,

1507
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 1: that's fine for the millionaires, also, Tiger, what's gonna be fine?

1508
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:40,559
Speaker 1: What about the families that make their entire living, all

1509
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:43,479
Speaker 1: their profit off the Master's going off in a gusing

1510
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 1: it's gone now. I mean, I'm not saying there's no

1511
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:49,599
Speaker 1: reason to close anything, but let's not just close everything

1512
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 1: really knilling because but that really affects working people. Yeah,

1513
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:57,680
Speaker 1: I worry about the economic implications of this because you know,

1514
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,720
Speaker 1: there's some people who you know, like, we're continue to work, right,

1515
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,720
Speaker 1: and we're doing what we do, But there are some

1516
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,559
Speaker 1: people and we're affected too, because what keeps us on

1517
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 1: the air? Right? Sponsors? What do sponsors do? They sell

1518
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 1: products to the public. So if people are not buying, Fortunately,

1519
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:15,640
Speaker 1: a lot of our sponsors you can buy online or

1520
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:17,200
Speaker 1: you go online, right, I mean not all of them,

1521
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:18,920
Speaker 1: but a lot of them, that's the case, but it

1522
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: affects everybody economically. I mean, our forum. Looking at your

1523
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 1: form on K right now is just like a form

1524
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: of self torture. It's just a bad idea. Don't touch it,

1525
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: don't look at it. Come back to me any right,

1526
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 1: come back in a year or six months, at least

1527
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,479
Speaker 1: maybe a year, and see how you're doing then. And

1528
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:34,720
Speaker 1: by the way, it might be long in that, it

1529
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 1: could be two years, but anyway, but Jesse, I just

1530
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 1: want to know if you do have to engage in

1531
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 1: some self distancing, which it sounds like you're not going to.

1532
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:45,920
Speaker 1: What is the Kelly families like self distancing pastimes? What

1533
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:49,559
Speaker 1: do you guys do exactly what we did this morning?

1534
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:52,679
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm actually letting my voice places video games.

1535
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: We spend the last hour out of the public hard

1536
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,160
Speaker 1: plays basketball, and we're just going to continue to live

1537
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:00,120
Speaker 1: our lives. And if I have to continue of the

1538
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show from my living room, thenk you guys

1539
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: are gonna see me in my pajamas and they're pretty

01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:08,720
Speaker 1: risk let me tell you. There we go manum By

1541
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 1: the way, speaking of risk a, yeah, you know where

1542
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 1: this is going. So mister Jesse Kelly, you are well

1543
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 1: known for making jokes that make many of us, including me, laugh,

1544
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 1: But they're the kind of jokes that many of us

1545
01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 1: are like, I don't know, like I would always be,

1546
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 1: by the way. I actually got a trouble once just

1547
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:33,559
Speaker 1: for responding to one of your jokes. So that's speaking

1548
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 1: of contagion. There's Jesse Kelly humor contagion. If you just

1549
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 1: respond to a Jesse Kelly jokes, the wokeness will come

1550
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,719
Speaker 1: after you. They're like, how dare you? It's Jesse might so.

1551
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:47,360
Speaker 1: Jesse's tweet was the follow The was the following hold

1552
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,799
Speaker 1: on a second. In response to the the NCAA Men's

1553
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 1: and Women's tournaments will be held without fans and only

1554
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 1: essential staff and limited family and attendance, Jesse wrote, quote

1555
01:20:57,360 --> 01:20:59,519
Speaker 1: with a heavy heart, I must announce that nobody will

1556
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: attend the NCAA Women's basketball Tournament for the fortieth consecutive year.

1557
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:07,720
Speaker 1: End quote Jesse, what has the response to this tweet been? Like?

1558
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 1: It's been an endless brage of esp female ESPN personalities,

1559
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:21,639
Speaker 1: w NBA players in every local hack radio, White Knight

1560
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 1: trying to trying to try to school me on behalf

1561
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:28,599
Speaker 1: of the local women's team'll trying to tell me how

1562
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 1: wonderful women's basketball is. That women's basketball sucks, and everybody

1563
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 1: knows women's basketball sucks. And it's not like I have

1564
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: anything against women playing, and I think that's great. It's

1565
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:42,679
Speaker 1: everybody in good shape and looking good, and that's really important.

1566
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:47,560
Speaker 1: But my thing is, don't don't insist that I acknowledge

1567
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:51,200
Speaker 1: something is enjoyable to watch when it's not. You brought

1568
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,639
Speaker 1: up women's tennis and we were talking earlier, like you said,

1569
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: that's the good promist. Women's basketball. Basketball itself is such

1570
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 1: an athletic game, it's running. It's m if people watch

1571
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 1: sports to see things that they can't do that they

1572
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 1: don't feel like they would be able to do. And

1573
01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 1: the truth of the matter, as women's basketball is boring

1574
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 1: because women aren't as physically athletic as men. That's not

1575
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 1: even close to being controversial. That's a fact. The truth is,

1576
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 1: the average high school player or the best player in

1577
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 1: the WNBA couldn't make the top forty high school basketball

1578
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 1: men's teams in this country. And that's a fact. That's

1579
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:30,519
Speaker 1: just a fact. It's a sport about that fleticism. But

1580
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 1: they yeah, so I want to ask you why do

1581
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: all these people then, especially those who make a living

1582
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 1: commenting on sports. I mean we did when we were

1583
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 1: talking right before, you know, right in the break. You know,

1584
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm an avid tennis player. I love tennis. I've

1585
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:45,839
Speaker 1: been playing my whole life. Women's tennis is a great product.

1586
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and those women, by the way, would beat

1587
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:52,719
Speaker 1: ninety nine point you know, at the professional level, they'd

1588
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 1: beat anybody who wasn't at least a men's D one

1589
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: college level player or any female on the tour. And

1590
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 1: those are guys who are really really good at tennis.

1591
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:02,680
Speaker 1: And there are even some women like Serena Williams who

1592
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 1: would be pretty much all the you know, D one

1593
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,439
Speaker 1: tennis player guys and could probably beat up to the

1594
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: top one hundred or so of men on the tour.

1595
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 1: So there's just this, it's a different sport. There's greater

1596
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 1: parody because, as you point out, you know, it's not

1597
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 1: just you know, there's not quite the same focus on size, speed, strength.

1598
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 1: Why is it that people get so upset whenever I mean,

1599
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 1: like I you know, I think the WNBA is a

1600
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 1: boring product to watch too. Why can't I say it's

1601
01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:31,080
Speaker 1: just an opinion about an entertainment, Like why can't I

1602
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:32,679
Speaker 1: say if I don't like a movie, I can say

1603
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 1: that why we although you can if with the all

1604
01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: female Ghostbusters, which I guess is kind of answering my

1605
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: own question here, why can't you say w NBA is boring? Jesse?

1606
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 1: Here's why this actually points to a larger societal problem.

1607
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 1: We have watched the leftist, the social justice warriors completely

1608
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: reorder society and they've been successful. It's not like they're trying.

1609
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 1: They've done it. They've completely reordered society, and they've done

1610
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:57,600
Speaker 1: it in such a way to where what's up is

1611
01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 1: now down, what's left is now right. And you are

1612
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 1: not allowed to say the sky is blue anymore. If

1613
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 1: they decide that women's basketball is just as good as

1614
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 1: the men, then you're not allowed to say otherwise blueist

1615
01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:12,639
Speaker 1: they decide that the sky is green and the sky

1616
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 1: and the sky is green, and if you dare to

1617
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 1: step up and say the sky is blue, they will

1618
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:22,520
Speaker 1: try to bully you and shut you up from acknowledging

1619
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 1: the simple fact that everybody else on earth can see.

1620
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:27,840
Speaker 1: And it's why I always win when I can in

1621
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:30,240
Speaker 1: these little dust stuffs with them because in the end,

1622
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm right, yeah, you know, I mean on this one,

1623
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:39,719
Speaker 1: I saw your apology, to which I appreciated, but you know, look,

1624
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean if and also, by the way, I'm not

1625
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:44,560
Speaker 1: telling anybody don't watch the w NBA, you know, or

1626
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:46,640
Speaker 1: you can't watch a great if someone really enjoys it.

1627
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:48,720
Speaker 1: But you and I both know, like the people who

1628
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 1: enjoy women's professional basketball are either women who play basketball

1629
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: a lot or people who have family members who are

1630
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: like playing in college or something like that. And the

1631
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 1: stands are pretty empty and a lot of those games.

1632
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:03,320
Speaker 1: And I also think that people like take their daughters

1633
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:05,680
Speaker 1: to it because it's become this like parents will take

1634
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 1: their daughters in these WMBA because it's become this kind

1635
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 1: of girl power thing, which I don't really understand why

1636
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 1: they wouldn't do that with other Well they don't do

1637
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 1: that with other sports. Oh, there's no question. And there's

1638
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 1: more towards basketball basketball even the basketball has always been

1639
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more woke if you will, then the

1640
01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: other sports. So there's this real I am woman hear

1641
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:29,880
Speaker 1: me roars to it, and like you said, look, if

1642

Speaker 1: of greatness on the radio right there. It is, indeed,

1657
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: Jesse Kell everybody, Jesse, thanks, oh Man, be safe. You're

1658
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 1: in the Freedom Hut. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

1659
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 1: Somebody said to me, now, when you elbow buff you

1660
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:32,480
Speaker 1: get close to the person, So forget any physical contact.

1661
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 1: Gleetings now in Eastern Eastern style. Bow in the Eastern

1662
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 1: style that Superlosi says, I will say if if this

1663
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 1: means that you know that I've never been a big

1664
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:46,479
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it. I've never been a big

1665
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:48,679
Speaker 1: handshake person. And I know that it's like I'm supposed

1666
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:49,720
Speaker 1: to be like kind of a manly thing for a

1667
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: lot of people, a handshake. And you know, also when

1668
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 1: people in the past, I mean, I give a normal

1669
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't do like a you know, a

1670
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 1: weekend shake. But people that like squeeze my hand aggressive,

1671
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, do you wanna do you want to

1672
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 1: see who can punch harder? Like, why are you trying

1673
01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 1: to make my hand uncomfortable? I don't. I don't like it.

1674
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 1: I've never been somebody that you know is a big

1675
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:13,000
Speaker 1: hand I know it is a handshake deal, and there's

1676
01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 1: all this stuff out there. I'm not a big handshake person,

1677
01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 1: never really have been. Um, So we'll have to and

1678
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 1: it does in moments like this, you gotta ask yourself

1679
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Well? Why why would we

1680
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 1: continue to have handshakes? Elbow touching is bizarre, obviously. I

1681
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 1: think I think some form of you know, if you want,

1682
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:32,599
Speaker 1: some form of salute would be fine. I think if

1683
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:33,920
Speaker 1: you want to be a little more form a little

1684
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,800
Speaker 1: more respectful, um, that that would make sense to me.

1685
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 1: I think if every walked around kind of giving a salute.

1686
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:40,640
Speaker 1: I you know, it's the same reason I like to

1687
01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 1: call everyone sir and mam until I know you you're

1688
01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 1: sir and mam. I feel like I even call Producer

1689
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:47,599
Speaker 1: Mark sometimes sir, just because you know it's Producer Mark,

1690
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 1: and if I don't, he'll get surly. So you know,

1691
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:54,840
Speaker 1: you got to be able to adapt under the circumstances here, um.

1692
01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 1: And I think that making sure that you don't have

1693
01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 1: to shake everybody's hand. And it's also you know, look

1694
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people you see when you're in like

1695
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:05,640
Speaker 1: the airport restaurom and you see people coming out of

1696
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 1: there hand washing reminders that we're seeing right now. It's

1697
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 1: not just for it's not just for Wuhan virus. You know,

1698
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:15,720
Speaker 1: the handwashing reminders should be out there for everybody on

1699
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:17,599
Speaker 1: everyth There's a reason why they have those up. I'm

1700
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 1: always in a restaurant bathroom. I'm like, why do they

1701
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 1: have to have this employees must wash hands thing? Because

1702
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:25,720
Speaker 1: some people need to be reminded. So I'm all for

1703
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:28,360
Speaker 1: changing this up a little bit. And this is where

1704
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:33,200
Speaker 1: I'll start to bring up more of the the aftermath

1705
01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:38,560
Speaker 1: of Spanish flu and how that affected our culture and

1706
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:42,679
Speaker 1: really really important ways. So that'll be something we got

1707
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:44,800
Speaker 1: to do next week. This topics is obviously not going anywhere,

1708
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 1: so I'll have a lot of time to spend with

1709
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 1: you on all of that. But the getting fresh air

1710
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,120
Speaker 1: and being out in the sun, and although this actually

1711
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:57,839
Speaker 1: a lot of it is a legacy of our battle

1712
01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:01,479
Speaker 1: with Spanish influenza, So that's something to keep in mind

1713
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:02,960
Speaker 1: here that there's going to be There's going to be

1714
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 1: things that, even after this disease passes, are changed in

1715
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 1: our culture, and there'll be cultural references and touchdownes that

1716
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: we'll be aware of long after this is gone. So look,

1717
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 1: I've been saying to you and I want you all

1718
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:16,800
Speaker 1: to make sure you have a great wee can. I

1719
01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 1: also want to get into your thoughts on all this.

1720
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's going to be a lot of that.

1721
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 1: We did talk Unfortunately right now there are more impressing concerns.

1722
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 1: We did talk about getting a voicemail box set up

1723
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 1: for all of you so you can call them. We

1724
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:29,559
Speaker 1: can hear you and play your audio on the show.

1725
01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:31,720
Speaker 1: We are going to do that, but first we got

1726
01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:34,720
Speaker 1: to make sure the world doesn't collapse. So that's on

1727
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:36,720
Speaker 1: the back burner. But it is on the burner, so

1728

1744
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:36,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit of a lack of human

1745
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:39,439
Speaker 1: connectivity for a while here in the city. That's gonna

1746
01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:42,160
Speaker 1: happen for at least a few weeks. So hearing from

1747
01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:44,559
Speaker 1: all of you is going to be really helpful and

1748
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:46,479
Speaker 1: helpful for the show. But also, look, I'm gonna want

1749
01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:48,479
Speaker 1: to hear from across the country. Tell me you know,

1750
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:50,360
Speaker 1: I want to hear what you guys are going through.

1751
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:52,320
Speaker 1: I want to hear if you're scared, if you're not scared.

1752
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 1: I want to see if there's lines at the store

1753
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:56,800
Speaker 1: or not, if you know the local schools have shut down.

1754
01:30:57,040 --> 01:30:59,280
Speaker 1: One thing I think might be an outcome I was

1755
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:02,760
Speaker 1: mentioning before some of the cultural and political takeaways from

1756
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 1: all this. One thing that I think is going to

1757
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:08,960
Speaker 1: be very relevant here is a lot of people are

1758
01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:11,120
Speaker 1: going to have their kids at home that aren't used

1759
01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 1: to that because the schools are closing. I mean, are

1760
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:15,000
Speaker 1: all schools in New York about to close? Or where

1761
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:16,840
Speaker 1: are we the public schools? No, it's if you have

1762
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:18,960
Speaker 1: a case of closes for the day. They're keeping the

1763
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:20,920
Speaker 1: schools open for now. But some places I think the

1764
01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:23,439
Speaker 1: schools are Somebody told me that his kids school in

1765
01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:25,599
Speaker 1: Baltimore were shut down for three weeks. Yeah, I think

1766
01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:27,439
Speaker 1: the worry in New York City is that a lot

1767
01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 1: of there's one hundred thousand kids that are homeless and

1768
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:32,479
Speaker 1: rely on meals from the schools, so they ucate them

1769
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:35,280
Speaker 1: open as kind of a really as a support system,

1770
01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:41,800
Speaker 1: support network for children here. So you have and I

1827
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:22,479
Speaker 1: Hey Buck, I'm a I'm a liberal. Pardon me. I'm

1828
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:26,360
Speaker 1: a medical laboratory scientist at a major hospital system in

1829
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 1: the Michigan area. So my co workers in my handle

1830
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:31,679
Speaker 1: all the testing starting today since there were two cases yesterday.

1831
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:33,720
Speaker 1: On the other side of the state, people in the

1832
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 1: healthcare system are in full blown panic mode. All non

1833
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:39,840
Speaker 1: clinical staff are a work from home till future notice.

1834
01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 1: All entrances are locked except one which is fully manned

1835
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:46,599
Speaker 1: with a screening team. All people are screened upon entrance.

1836
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:48,680
Speaker 1: If people come in and have symptoms, the room is

1837
01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:51,000
Speaker 1: shut down for two hours after they leave, and then

1838
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:54,160
Speaker 1: cleaning starts. It's crazy how much panic the government and

1839
01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:56,760
Speaker 1: corporations are stirring up to make it all worse. From

1840
01:34:56,760 --> 01:34:59,639
Speaker 1: Sunday till today, I've not only seen the first positive

1841
01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:03,040
Speaker 1: flu eight tests I've seen all year. The rest of

1842
01:35:03,080 --> 01:35:06,040
Speaker 1: the season has been mostly flu B. But out of

1843
01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:08,920
Speaker 1: the fifty states I've run over fifty percent a fifty

1844
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:11,960
Speaker 1: tests I've run, over fifty percent have been positive. So

1845
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:14,559
Speaker 1: the system will be stressed even more with the giant

1846
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:17,160
Speaker 1: uptick in flu. Just wanted to give you some info

1847
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 1: from someone who is dealing with this disaster. My overall

1848
01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:22,599
Speaker 1: assessment is the media and the Dems see this as

1849
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 1: their last and best chance to beat Trump in November.

1850
01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 1: The public be damned. I've also passed the buck to

1851
01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:30,360
Speaker 1: eight other people and turned to you for their daily

1852

1855
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:39,679

01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:46,519
Speaker 1: Mark gets a big smile when we see the podcast

1859
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:49,200
Speaker 1: numbers going up every month, and they've only gone up

1860
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:51,320
Speaker 1: about fifty percent in the last six months overall, so

1861
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 1: only fifty percent. Yeah, I passed the buck yesterday. Really,

1862
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:57,120

Speaker 1: can't use my car for whatever reason. But he was

1864
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:02,879
Speaker 1: talking about rush, so, you know, and he was complaining

1865
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:04,639
Speaker 1: that he won't have any sports to listen to because

1866
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:06,439
Speaker 1: they're all canceled. They'll go, you know, if you need

1873
01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 1: in line for hours and hours at Costco, at least

1874
01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:27,879
Speaker 1: our credit cards will will work. I can't even imagine

1875

Speaker 1: doing it. That's where we're heading, I think, John, Oh

1880
01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:50,360
Speaker 1: common in New York, and they're telling me that it's

1881
01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:54,040
Speaker 1: like basically missing everything. I just got that alosimone here.

1888
01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:09,760
Speaker 1: know how. I don't know how that happens. I don't

1889
01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:12,479
Speaker 1: understand how they You know, something's going on here. They're

1890
01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 1: like selling laundry detergent on the black market. Now, I

1891
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:17,439
Speaker 1: don't know how I'm gonna stock my new apartment. Yeah,

1892
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:21,920
Speaker 1: like whatever I don't have. Oh well, I'm I am

1893
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 1: not I am not pleased about this circumstance right now,

1894
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:29,559
Speaker 1: because I needed I need laundry detergent. I've seen the tweets.

1895
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:32,519
Speaker 1: If you go to a bodega, apparently they're fully stocked

1896
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:35,320
Speaker 1: and empty, but all the grocery stores are packed and

1897
01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:38,439
Speaker 1: fully stocked and empty of people. But all the grocery

1898
01:37:38,479 --> 01:37:42,840
Speaker 1: stores are empty of food and have many people. Really. Yeah,

1899
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:45,000
Speaker 1: I went to a market yesterday that will remain un

1900
01:37:45,040 --> 01:37:46,640
Speaker 1: named because I don't want everyone to like flock to

1901
01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 1: it. It It was I had everything totally normal, so I

1902
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:51,000
Speaker 1: don't understand. But then my brother went to Whole Foods.

1903
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:54,640
Speaker 1: Whole Foods, it looks like like the ravaging hordes have

1904
01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:57,120
Speaker 1: come through and taken everything. So basically what I'm saying

1905
01:37:57,160 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 1: is stopping boogie, go to a bodega and get what

1906
01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 1: you think. Great, dude, I love bodegas, local small business.

1907
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:03,479
Speaker 1: I'll make it a bodega. By the way, for those

1908
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:05,360
Speaker 1: of you don't, it's like it's a Spanish word for

1909
01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:07,280
Speaker 1: a grocery. We have them here in New York and

1910
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:12,639
Speaker 1: they're often owned by people from Dominican immigrant families Puerto

1911
01:38:12,680 --> 01:38:15,400
Speaker 1: Rican immigrant families, and bodegas are a commonplace thing here

1912
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:16,920
Speaker 1: in New York. I feel like they don't have that everywhere.

1913
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:20,519
Speaker 1: They don't. They don't have Delis in DC, so you

1914
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:22,840
Speaker 1: know that definitely don't have both degas. DC is a

1915
01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:24,759
Speaker 1: weird town. It is a weird town and everything closes

1916
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:28,600
Speaker 1: like nine o'clock too. John, Hey Buck, Greetings from the

1919
01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 1: pass me the buck for the last few years, but

1920
01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:37,760
Speaker 1: two hours of content was always a little too much

1921
01:38:37,760 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 1: to squeeze in my packed load for podcasts. But I'm

1922
01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:42,800
Speaker 1: glad I got over that hang up. I look forward

1923

Speaker 1: those of you that that are you know listening and

1928
01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:54,800
Speaker 1: you want to kind of condense it. You could always

1929
01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:56,720
Speaker 1: try that. Listen to one point five percent speed. I

1930
01:38:56,840 --> 01:39:00,600
Speaker 1: speak with enough pauses between what I say because I

1931
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 1: hate filler words, because like I could like sit here

1932
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:06,559
Speaker 1: and like I mean, like totally like talk the way

1933
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:09,599

1934
01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:12,720

1935
01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:15,559
Speaker 1: I like precision of language. I like people to be

1936
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:17,559
Speaker 1: able to listen to what I'm saying, and the words

1937
01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:20,120
Speaker 1: that I'm using have a purpose, and the purpose is

1938
01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:22,160
Speaker 1: not to allow me to think of the next thing

1939
01:39:22,160 --> 01:39:25,000
Speaker 1: that I'm saying. I just will take a moment to

1940
01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:27,280
Speaker 1: think about the next thing that I'm saying. I prefer

1941
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:29,960
Speaker 1: that I have. Actually one thing that one knock on

1942
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:31,640
Speaker 1: me in the past has been sometimes people have been like,

1943
01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:35,400
Speaker 1: were you reading that monologue? And iverything, No, I'm just talking,

1944
01:39:35,479 --> 01:39:37,640
Speaker 1: and they go, what sounds like you? And I'm like,

1945
01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:39,080
Speaker 1: what do you think? It sounds like a read? They

1946
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:42,120
Speaker 1: will know, but you're so few filler words that it

1947
01:39:42,920 --> 01:39:44,760
Speaker 1: we assume that you were reading it, even if you

1948
01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:46,439
Speaker 1: were reading it really well, and it didn't sound like

1949
01:39:46,439 --> 01:39:48,439
Speaker 1: a read in terms of tone. I don't know anyway,

1950
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:51,879
Speaker 1: A little humble brand, a little Panela back for the buckster.

1954
01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:02,760
Speaker 1: you're talking about toilet paper during college and at work.

1955
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:05,120
Speaker 1: I bring in my own toilet paper from home. My

1956
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:08,280
Speaker 1: university and workplace has cardboard for toilet paper, and I

1957
01:40:08,320 --> 01:40:11,879
Speaker 1: eat a good amount. If you get my drift. What

1958
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:14,920
Speaker 1: what does that mean? I think he's saying he poops

1959
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:18,759
Speaker 1: a lot buck oh, eat a good amount period. I'm sorry.

1960
01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:21,160
Speaker 1: I thought he meant eat a good amount of Pardon me,

1961
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I was bout. I thought he was saying,

1962
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:27,439
Speaker 1: eat a good amount of cardboard for toilet paper. I

1963
01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:29,400
Speaker 1: don't think he eats the toilet paper. No, I understand,

1964
01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:32,080
Speaker 1: but that's why I was so confused. My workplace, workplace

1965
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:34,479
Speaker 1: has cardboard for toilet paper, and I eat a good

1966
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:37,800
Speaker 1: amount that. Okay, the grants a grammar issue. It's a

1967
01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:40,120
Speaker 1: grammar issue. Eat a good amount of what now I

1968
01:40:40,160 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 1: get it, eat a good amount? Okay? Whoa pardon me? Team, Sorry,

1969
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:45,720
Speaker 1: I hope you're not having lunch. I'm guessing the t

1970
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:48,360
Speaker 1: the TP run is because people think that the quarantine

1971
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:50,000
Speaker 1: for two weeks and they want to be prepared. You're

1972
01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:52,799
Speaker 1: the man, No, Andy, you're the man. I think you're correct.

1973
01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 1: I just think that that's you know, they can keep

1974
01:40:55,840 --> 01:40:57,960
Speaker 1: the shelf stocked if everyone just buys what they need.

1975
01:40:58,000 --> 01:40:59,240
Speaker 1: You know, look, if you want to buy what you

1976
01:40:59,280 --> 01:41:01,760
Speaker 1: need for the week, I get it. But to buy

1977
01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:04,800
Speaker 1: what you need for the month. If our shelves are

1978
01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:07,639
Speaker 1: all bare in a month, we got bigger problems than

1979
01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:09,719
Speaker 1: just whether or not you bought a month's worth of stuff.

1980
01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 1: So I don't think that that's where we are. I

1981
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:13,639
Speaker 1: will say that I when I started the media business

1982
01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:16,880
Speaker 1: long time ago, I worked for Glenn Beck, and you know,

1983
01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 1: we did a lot of There was a lot of

1984
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:20,400
Speaker 1: talk there, and Glen would talk a lot about about

1985
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:23,960
Speaker 1: being prepared. And the people that are that tend to

1986
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:26,120
Speaker 1: focus on preparation or not the kind of in your

1987
01:41:26,560 --> 01:41:28,680
Speaker 1: not like in your face, haha kind of people. But

1988
01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot of them right now are kind

1989
01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:35,160
Speaker 1: of like, yep, knew this was coming, got six months

1990
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:37,120
Speaker 1: worth of food in the basement, plenty of fresh water,

1991
01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:41,320
Speaker 1: a generator, ammunition, and we're fine, I'm just gonna say

1992
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:42,800
Speaker 1: it because they're not gonna say it. But I don't

1993
01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:44,000
Speaker 1: know a lot of them are kind of like he

1994
01:41:46,120 --> 01:41:48,719
Speaker 1: and we. Meanwhile in New York here us as bougie

1995
01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:51,240
Speaker 1: New Yorkers like oh good, heavens the whole food just

01:41:51,439 --> 01:41:55,479
Speaker 1: running short on site, Tan and Tofu will be all right.

1997
01:41:55,840 --> 01:42:01,360
Speaker 1: I hope you're in the Freedom. This is the Buck

1998
01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:07,760
Speaker 1: Sex and Show podcast. Chris writes hey book. As an

1999
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:09,880
Speaker 1: English major back in college, I can appreciate all of

2000
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:12,880
Speaker 1: your recent book recommendations. I always had thought that I

2001
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:15,080
Speaker 1: have read in nineteen eighty four back in high school,

2002
01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:17,360
Speaker 1: but it turns out I read Animal Farm. The only

2003
01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:18,920
Speaker 1: way of knowing that was by the fact that I

2004
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:21,160
Speaker 1: save all my books that I've read. It's a goal

2005
01:42:21,200 --> 01:42:23,200
Speaker 1: of mine to one day have a whole collection and

2006
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:26,000
Speaker 1: a nice bookshelf in my future home, probably not in

2007
01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:28,719
Speaker 1: my homestate of California at the rate of housing costs nowadays.

2008
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm curious do you do the same in terms of

2009
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:33,800
Speaker 1: saving all of your books. I liked to refer back

2010
01:42:33,880 --> 01:42:36,680
Speaker 1: then whatever I need as resources. Very good Rush and Chris,

2011
01:42:36,760 --> 01:42:38,960
Speaker 1: and thank you for writing in. I used to save

2012
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:40,920
Speaker 1: all my books, but I've moved so many times, and

2013
01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:44,000
Speaker 1: books are so heavy when you have a lot. When

2014
01:42:44,040 --> 01:42:51,320
Speaker 1: I used to have multiple full bookshelves, bookshelves, boot bookshelf, bookshelves,

2015
01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:54,640
Speaker 1: and I just I got so tired of carrying them

2016
01:42:54,680 --> 01:42:56,759
Speaker 1: and also finding a place for them in my tiny apartments.

2017
01:42:56,800 --> 01:43:02,720
Speaker 1: Because I am not a wealthy man, so I had

2018
01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:05,160
Speaker 1: to get I gave a lot away, and I really did.

2019
01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:07,280
Speaker 1: I I don't throw them out. I would take I

2020
01:43:07,400 --> 01:43:12,479
Speaker 1: took whole loads. I would use like rolling rolling Duffel

2021
01:43:12,520 --> 01:43:15,120
Speaker 1: bags and fill them with books and take over a

2022
01:43:15,200 --> 01:43:16,840
Speaker 1: couple at a time to a place called the Strand

2023
01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:19,080
Speaker 1: Bookstore here in New York City, or they'll pay you

2024
01:43:19,200 --> 01:43:20,960
Speaker 1: for some of your books, but really they're just gonna

2025
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:22,439
Speaker 1: like take them off your hands and then try to

2026
01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:25,320
Speaker 1: resell them or find a place for them. So I

2027
01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:27,519
Speaker 1: really appreciate that the Strand does that. You know, you

2028
01:43:27,640 --> 01:43:30,920
Speaker 1: go in there, you're like, ah, these books are they're

2029
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:33,640
Speaker 1: very they're very wonderful, and I'm expecting to get a

2030
01:43:33,680 --> 01:43:34,880
Speaker 1: lot of money for them. And they'll go through like

2031
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:37,320
Speaker 1: fifty of your books and they'll say, okay, great, um,

2032
01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:40,320
Speaker 1: here's a check for three dollars and you're like ah,

2033
01:43:41,439 --> 01:43:43,479
Speaker 1: not worth what I thought it was, So I do

2034
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 1: not hang on all. I hang on too books that

2035
01:43:45,160 --> 01:43:50,479
Speaker 1: have particular sentimental value, anything that's been inscribed by the author. Um.

2036
01:43:50,600 --> 01:43:52,160
Speaker 1: I have a number of books that you know the

2037
01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:54,000
Speaker 1: author has written a little note to me or something.

2038
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:56,519
Speaker 1: I keep those, obviously, but and other books that I

2039
01:43:56,600 --> 01:43:58,720
Speaker 1: just feel like you got to have. But maybe I'll

2040
01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 1: maybe I'll take some foe. I've done this before, and

2041
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:03,760
Speaker 1: some people get mad at me because I say I

2042
01:44:03,800 --> 01:44:05,800
Speaker 1: don't do this, but and then I always do it.

2043
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:08,439
Speaker 1: I could take some photos of my bookshelves, because we're guys,

2044
01:44:08,479 --> 01:44:10,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna need to all hunker down a bit and

2045
01:44:10,080 --> 01:44:11,880
Speaker 1: get used to a lot of things being closed, and

2046
01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:13,960
Speaker 1: it's a great time to knock off some books from

2047
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:16,080
Speaker 1: your reading shelf or from the stack. I got the

2048
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:18,599
Speaker 1: stack next to the bed, although now I'm a little

2049
01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:20,360
Speaker 1: bit more clean, so I don't really do that. I

2050
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:22,360
Speaker 1: kind of have a stack that's next to the stack

2051
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:25,719
Speaker 1: of books in my bookshelf. But I'll take a photo

2052
01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:28,880
Speaker 1: of what I have on the shelf. And yeah, and

2053
01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:31,200
Speaker 1: mostly I'll read from kindle too, because I like to

2054
01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 1: read at night before I go to sleep. It helps

2055
01:44:33,080 --> 01:44:36,880
Speaker 1: me fall asleep, and I can't. With the light on

2056
01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:39,599
Speaker 1: reading that makes it harder for me to fall asleep,

2057
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:41,040
Speaker 1: But with a kindle man, I could pass out in

2058
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:47,720
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. So yeah, Tom, Well everyone the media is

2059
01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:49,960
Speaker 1: consumed by the hysteria of the COVID nineteen virus and

2060
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:52,000
Speaker 1: the free fall of the stock market. The American judicial

2061
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:54,160
Speaker 1: system is returning to status quo and sweeping all the

2062
01:44:54,240 --> 01:44:57,080
Speaker 1: crimes of the past eight years under the rug ag

2063
01:44:57,240 --> 01:44:59,880
Speaker 1: Bar has given the nod to continuation of the FI

2064
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,760
Speaker 1: as a program, no changes to FBI coverups, and no

2065
01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:06,040
Speaker 1: serious charges against anyone from the deep state for all

2066
01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 1: the egregious crimes committed against the American people by institutionalized

2067
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:13,240
Speaker 1: corruption in America. There may be more information coming that

2068
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:15,519
Speaker 1: explains what happened today, but the moment appears that American

2069
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:18,920
Speaker 1: citizens and our constitution are getting screwed again. I'm with

2070
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:21,040
Speaker 1: lou Dobbs on this one. There should be outrage, but

2071
01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:23,400
Speaker 1: instead we're told to lack The lack of real justice

2072
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:27,200
Speaker 1: is the new normal. Any thoughts on this Shields high Buck.

2073
01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:32,640
Speaker 1: By the way, I know that there's some people who

2074
01:45:32,680 --> 01:45:34,880
Speaker 1: work in conservative media at certain websites who listen to

2075
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:36,560
Speaker 1: this show. I know this for a fact. Listen to

2076
01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:38,160
Speaker 1: this show every day. I want and a half speed

2077
01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:41,360
Speaker 1: for ideas for articles and things. So I always appreciate that.

2078
01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm happy to help the movement in that way, and

2079
01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:46,120
Speaker 1: I mean that I'm not I'm not being sarcastic. I

2080
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:48,280
Speaker 1: really do appreciate to that and I'm happy to help

2081
01:45:48,320 --> 01:45:51,680
Speaker 1: people out. Tom Yeah, I mean, we're not going to

2082
01:45:51,720 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 1: see justice for these spying against Trump. In fact, they're

2083
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:55,080
Speaker 1: probably going to try to do it again in the

2084
01:45:55,160 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 1: next election. And I know that that's not what people

2085
01:45:57,040 --> 01:45:58,240
Speaker 1: want to hear. But I tell you the truth. And

2086
01:45:58,360 --> 01:45:59,720
Speaker 1: when I think it's not what people want to hear,

2087
01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:03,840
Speaker 1: there will not be justice for this. I think the left,

2088
01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:07,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't care what the Durham probe says, the ag

2089
01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:10,960
Speaker 1: of the a USA in Connecticut or no, the Yeah,

2090
01:46:11,160 --> 01:46:14,759
Speaker 1: the US attorney, not the USA, the US Attorney in Connecticut, Durham,

2091
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:17,240
Speaker 1: who's on this. It's not gonna be enough. So yeah,

2092
01:46:17,280 --> 01:46:18,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hold your breath on that. One of my men.

2093
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:22,120
Speaker 1: So everybody, well, we are making contingencies to make sure

2094
01:46:22,160 --> 01:46:23,720
Speaker 1: the show stays in the air every day, no matter

2095
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:26,920
Speaker 1: what happens, come, what May. We are going to be

2096
01:46:26,960 --> 01:46:28,920

2098
01:46:32,520 --> 01:46:34,200

2099
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, we're thinking about you guys, and we're praying

2100
01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:39,320
Speaker 1: for all of you. We're all gonna be fine. We're

Speaker 1: gonna come through this. We're gonna have some celebratory shows

2102
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:42,920
