WEBVTT - The Wuhan Virus 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:16.120 You are entering the Freedom Hunt. The war on coronavirus continues, 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:19.160 but we're gonna call it the Wuhan virus from now on. 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.439 Here and the Freedom Hunt will have all the latest 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:25.239 everything we need to talk about coming up. This is 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:28.520 the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:35.360 to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, America, 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:41.680 You're a great American. Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:49.080 He's a great guy. No, Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show, everybody. 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.239 We are still doing it from the studio here in 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.560 New York City. You may see some changes. For those 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.200 of you that watch on Pluto, you may hear a 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:04.560 slightly different, slightly different tonality, I guess in terms of 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.280 the technical aspects of the show, because we may be 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.400 setting up in a remote Freedom Hunt location and the 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.920 relatively near future. The show will still be exactly as 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.039 it is in terms of the content and everything else. 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:20.680 But things are getting pretty edgy here in New York City. 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.360 People are concerned, and I've been talking to friends all 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.560 across the country. Look, here here's the reality. I mean 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.520 this is this is a news commentary show. We do 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.200 a lot of other stuff here too. We're going to 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.399 talk about this, and we're going to be talking about 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:37.120 this story for the next at least thirty days, you 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.440 got to figure probably the next sixty and who knows 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.320 how much longer than that. So we are in a 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.800 new phase. And that's why I'm talking about it in 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:49.280 terms of a war or an ongoing major conflict that 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.080 polls at everything in our society. And that's where we are. 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:55.680 And you know, we're going to talk about the most 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.840 serious and most concerning aspects of it. We're going to 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.680 discuss the things that make all of us nervous. We're 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.120 gonna look at government response, the politics around this unavoidable, 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.480 and we're also going to have a bit of gallows humor, 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.200 a little bit of you know, we've got to we've 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.200 got to keep our spirits up as we pushed through this. 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.120 I said this to a New York lass night on 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.960 wo R, but I'm saying it to you all as well. 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.480 I am very very confident that there will come a 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.760 time in the not distant future when I'll be able 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.240 to sit here and tell all of you. Producer Mark 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:34.880 and I had Margarida's on a sidewalk cafe after the 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.960 show last night in Tribeca. Down here in Lower Manhattan. 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.440 It's actually a beautiful part of New York City, and 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.480 the streets are a buzz and everybody's okay, and you know, 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.480 we're we got through it. I'm I'm very confident we 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.880 will be able to have that, and I look forward 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.120 to it. I look forward to that day when I 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.160 can say that to all me in. The market's rebounding, 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.760 it's gorgeous weather, and we can start just the food 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.000 fight over the election and whether should be Trump or 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.200 Biden all over again. And although that's going to continue, 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.920 but that day will come and we'll be able to 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.560 talk about that and celebrated together. And I hope it'll 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.239 come in June. It might not come until Longust or September, 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.640 but it'll be here. It will be here. So I 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.480 think we all need to remember that this is not 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:19.240 going to be the new normal forever by any stretch, 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:27.000 because right now, man, it's people are people are rattled. 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.280 You know, there's all these different pieces that move with this. 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.959 What are the timelines of the virus spread? How well 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.560 are hospitals equipped? The information overload that you have right now? 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.760 I find myself at night reading and reading and reading 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.400 so much about this that I have to force myself 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.640 to just give give a little bit, like an hour 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.240 of time before I go to sleep, so that I 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:54.840 don't just go to sleep thinking about wuhan flu, coronavirus, 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.119 the wu flu. By the way, if I say coronavirus again, 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.640 it's just because that's what scotten. That's that's what we're 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.680 being told to say. But remember that's that's an incorrect 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.080 that's an imprecise way of talking about this. And when 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.320 they say COVID nineteen, that's not how we refer to 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.600 diseases usually, right. It would be like asking the general 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:17.279 public to refer to animals by the by their Latin names, 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.760 you know, by those I think, like a great white 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:25.440 shark is a carcarrotin carcareous boom knowledge, so you know, 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.800 those are some of the These are the things that 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:30.640 you'll think about constantly before you get to sleep, and 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:31.839 then you go to sleep and you wake up and 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.800 the streets here in the city are quiet, and this 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.719 is going to be and everyone, I think recognizes it 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.440 because it's the greatest concentration of people living in the 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.320 closest proximity to each other you know, Los Angeles is 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.279 a huge place, but Los Angeles has really spread out. 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.840 Los Angeles is a city of many cities and for 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:53.960 people to stay home as long as they have access 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.520 to food and the powers on and everything that's there's 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.040 there's less person to person connectivity in the day to 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:00.800 day life there. I mean here in New York we 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.880 are packed together on the streets, we are packed together 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.200 on the subways. Many of you are like, Buck, why 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:06.880 don't you come out to me. Maybe this is the 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.080 turning point, you know, maybe producer market, I need to 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.200 pull up stakes and move out to I don't know, 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:17.800 somewhere somewhere Lovely, Austin, Nashville, Denver. These are all These 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.440 are all cities that I think about sometimes. But that's 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.560 for when we get through this. Unfortunately, we are right 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:26.280 in the middle of this. We are dealing with a 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.400 national emergency that is going to test us in many 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.800 many ways. And I think that it's important for all 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.200 of us that we understand out that we're willing to 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.000 speak to the anxieties of the moment, that we talk 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.640 to each other, we support each other, we see the 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:48.080 good that we can in people around us, and just 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.960 you know, I hate. Stay calm is like telling somebody 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.080 to calm down when they're upset, and it never works. 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.080 You tell people to stay calm, and it immediately, at 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.520 least in my mind, evokes somebody who's saying that as 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.279 everybody's like scrambling for the lifeboats or something, stay calm 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.760 and everyone's running for lifeboats, we really are going to 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.800 be okay. And I think that, you know, there are 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:12.760 a lot of ways everyone's now making decisions based upon 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:16.640 what they think of as a certainty about where this 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.400 is all going. You know, they think they know that 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.440 fill in the following things, right, They think they know 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:27.400 if a happens, b happens. I mean, I've got to 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.320 tell you, just think about it this way. You know, 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.880 there are so many people who all they do is 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.920 look at the direction of the stock market, the trajectory 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.000 of different of different companies, and what their earning reports 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.839 are going to be. And here we have Mother Nature 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:45.880 just saying, yeah, you guys think you know what's coming. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.000 You think you understand the future, you understand what the 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:53.600 plan is. You're wrong. Things change, They change very rapidly, 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:58.040 and people don't don't see it coming. I look at 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.200 this as right now, the next two to three weeks, 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:05.360 we're more or less going to know if we are 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:10.880 if we are entering an even more dangerous phase of 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:15.560 this situation based on all the different projections. You know, 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.080 we also have to have to look at the failure 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.120 now to get testing kits out. Now, testing kits are 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.120 not the answer to everything. I think this has been 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:28.040 an interesting area where there's there's real concern and there's 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:32.400 also room for real criticism here. The federal government, run 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.600 by the Trump administration on this one, did not execute 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.120 up to standards. Now. I think if you look at 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:44.720 it honestly, the CDC and federal regulations and the federal bureaucracy, 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.640 which I know I worked at it, I understand it 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.200 moves very slowly, a lot of red tape, and there's 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:57.680 a tremendous amount of it's what I call bureaucratic sloth. People. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.040 You know, they're ten percent of the people in the 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.080 organizations do ninety percent of the important work. And that's 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.200 that's just the truth. I mean, I know people don't 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.520 like to hear this, but and I'm sure it's the 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.360 same thing with the CDC, but the testing kits for 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.040 there to be at this stage a manufacturing defect. I mean, 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:21.320 doctor Fauci has even said that this is a failure. Okay, 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.480 so we're past now. Oh no, book, you can't say no, no, 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.560 it's a failure and that's real. But let's also understand, 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.120 all right, so testing gives you a better sense of 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.240 where you can try to contain this. But keep in 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.600 mind that the disease as we understand it right now, 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.679 and I'll get into why it is important that we 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.480 call it the Wuhan virus. Some people are also calling 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.880 it as shorthand the wu flu. I leave that to them. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.280 I may say that sometimes too. I think that it's 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.880 important that we also don't allow this thing to become 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:56.880 this uh, this this beast that haunts are every waking moments. 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.880 You know that that creates this anxiety, angsty, and fear, 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:05.120 become their own become their own enemy. In this whole process, 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.400 it's so easy for all of us to just succumb 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.640 to oh gosh, you know, I mean, I mean a look, 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.120 and I'm going to have some gallos humor. Please understand, 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.480 I'm here writing the center of this. I've been in 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.080 a high risk population for trans for getting the disease 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.600 in the sense that I'm in New York City. This 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.640 is where there's the most cases so far, I believe, 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.960 are in New York State and the New York City area. 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.280 I'm on the subway. I have loved ones who are 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.760 in the age risk category that I'm thinking about every 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.480 day all the time that I'm trying to make sure 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:37.280 that they're you know, they're okay. So all of us 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.480 understand the severity of this here, but it also does 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.560 us no good. Once we've dealt with the real facts 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:45.840 and the day to day and what we know and 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.560 a new information to act like, this thing gets to 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:53.280 control us. This thing gets to be haunting our every 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.200 waking and even sleeping moment because oh my gosh, what's 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.280 going to happen. You're reading these projections, I'm sure there's 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.760 been a spike. Look, I've downloaded a few books on 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.480 the Spanish flu al though Sonja Shaw's book called Pandemic 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:06.920 is something that I read on my own about a 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:08.240 year or two ago, and I have to say it 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.720 was very helpful in the early days of understanding before 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.160 everybody was talking about this so much exactly what's going 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.520 on here. And I'll also tell you when you're looking 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:22.199 at projections and trying to understand what the future will hold. 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:26.480 Everybody who studies pandemic disease has effectively been saying now 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.400 that we would be in this position at some point 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.600 in time, and then it would happen almost exactly the 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:38.160 way that it does. These diseases originate in China, not 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:42.079 all diseases, but these influenzas and these upper respiratory diseases, 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:46.200 and it has to do with my Usually migratory foul 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:50.760 often ducks the migratory foul population, and then there's the 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.040 transfer of a virus that might not even do anything 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.559 bad to the ducks, but that virus can be transferred 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.840 to pigs. And pigs are of our animals that have 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.200 a lot of similarity, so many in fact, that you 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:09.280 can do some transplants of different tissues, and I believe 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.199 even some some minor organs from pigs to human beings. 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.959 Um that the transfer from the ducks to the pigs 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.839 to the humans. This has been the concern. And now 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.000 I know everyone talking about a guy who ate a 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.080 bat soup, or it was a civit, or it was 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:25.559 I don't know, some kind of there was some other 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.920 a pangle in. You know, these really rare animals about it? 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.480 Why are people eating these animals? That is a fair 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.920 question to ask. But you know, animals that are that 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:42.599 are in the wild do present new cross infection opportunities. 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.960 Opportunities might be the wrong word, cross infection risks. And 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.160 this is what has been They thought this is the 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:49.559 way it's going to be for a long time, and 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.280 now finally we're at this place. So we've known this 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.080 was coming. And I'm actually here to remind everybody of 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.320 that this has been known for a long time. And 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:03.760 you know, the Sanish flu has in recent years because 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.840 of stars and mers these other upper respiratory infections, it's 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.040 gotten more attention than it has in a long time. 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.680 But it was only a matter of time before we 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.440 were at this place. And I will also tell you 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.080 that when you look at that, look back, and I'll 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.920 be discussing the history of Spanish influenza with you as 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.560 we go forward in the week, because this is the done, 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.439 this is the news story right now. Right. We'll talk 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.160 about some other things and you know I'll make I'll 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.000 make some jokes about how like every time I push 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:30.640 the elevator on the button here in the building. I'm 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:35.720 just like, this is like, you know, Russian roulette virus style. 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.280 Every time I touch a button with my finger and 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.480 I'm like, oh gosh. And inevitably when I think about 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.400 that too, I end up that finger ends up, you know, 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.160 I you know, touch my eye or my nose. I 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.000 almost did it right now as I'm trying to tell 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.320 you how I shouldn't do that. That's how much of 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:54.000 a habit we're all in. So this is going to 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:58.319 be a phase of our lives, and it's going to 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:04.079 affect made your decisions going forward about government. It's going 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.520 to absolutely play a role in the twenty no matter what, 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:11.120 it'll play a major role in the twenty twenty election. 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.320 But there'll be other things about this too that I 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.120 think we all recognize. What we will be able to 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.040 recognize at least after the fact. This is going to 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:21.360 change our perception of public health. This is going to 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:26.960 change our perception of what's you know, of globalization, of 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.840 all these different major forces that we tend to have 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.280 a passive view of. These things are just happening. We're 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:37.240 just dealing with it. Well, there's more than that. We 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.240 can change course on certain things or we can adjust, 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.079 we can understand that this is not something we want 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.839 to go through again. And you know, I'm going to 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.800 try to give you as much as I can. And 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:53.760 it seems to be right now, a worst case, best 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.120 case analysis situation. That's what you're getting all the time, 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.320 and what I know, and this was just from not 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.280 that the CIA gets everything right. It actually has gotten 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:02.920 a lot of things very very wrong. And I know 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:04.480 that because I used to be there and I could 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.440 see all the old assessments and go through them, and 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.800 there's plenty of things the SEI has gotten wrong over time. 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:14.600 But when you study predictions, especially predictions about major political 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.680 movements or predictions about things like a pandemic, you know, 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.200 everyone focuses on worst case, best case in the beginning, 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.040 and then it turns out and you know where this 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.720 is going to usually be something in the middle usually 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.080 tends to not be the very worst case ends and 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.080 not be the best case scenario. So I'm going to 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.000 give you those two ends of it and hope that 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.920 we can draw toward what is the most likely outcome here. 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.480 I think, I mean, here's what I prucer Mark did 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.640 I did I give my little Oh no, I didn't 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.240 because I remember I So a friend of mine asked 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.400 me yesterday here in New York City, And by the way, 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.120 you know, Mark and I are in it, like we're 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:51.960 here in the midst of all this. You know, he's 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.040 taking public transport to get here. I've been taking public 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.360 transport to get here. They might shut that down, there 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.040 might be changes about that, and we might have to 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.000 get pruser Mark at hell a copter or a limousine 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.400 or something. Well, find we'll find place for that in 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:08.600 the budget. But the friend of mine asked me yesterday, 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.680 what do I think is really going to happen? And 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.880 I wrote this out without even thinking about it, and 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:18.280 it was one of those moments where I realized, well, 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.760 this isn't I wrote it to somebody thinking this is 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:23.320 just if you ask me, like, if you held a 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.240 gun to my head, what's going to happen here in 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.200 New York, which I think will be replicated in lesser 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.800 to lesser degrees in other places, what would you say 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.720 is likely to occur here? And I'll tell you what 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.320 that is in just a second. Thanks for listening to 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:42.640 The bus Essen Show podcasts.

Yeah, 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:51.320 so this is what I texted a friend who's clearly 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.720 very concerned about what's going on here because they're I mean, 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:57.640 they're shutting down. We're in lockdown mode. And as long 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.600 and my opinion is, as long as we slow the 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.080 spread of the disease enough so that our medical facilities 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.560 can handle any influx of the severely ill, and as 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.360 long as we still have people that are doing critical 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.560 things we man, we need people keeping the electricity going, 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.440 picking up the garbage, making sure the grocery stores have food, 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.480 you know, keeping the internet on. I mean, like there 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.680 are things that we just need to keep God, as 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.800 long as those things stay in place, and I believe 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.040 it they will. This isn't a natural disaster, or we've 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.680 dealt with the well, it is kind of a natural disaster, 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.560 but it's not you know, an earthquake or a you know, 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.680 a major hurricane where all of a sudden there's no power, 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.320 there's flooding, and you have to deal with that. This 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.880 is a different kind of natural disaster. As long as 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:44.680 that all stays in place, that infrastructure stays on, I 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.560 think we got a pretty good shot of going through 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:51.160 a few weeks of lockdown without it turning really ugly. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:54.800 I'm going to get into how it could turn ugly 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.760 a little bit, because we got to understand all aspects 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.000 of this, and I know there, you know when I 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.400 first started. Well, I've got so much on this, folks. 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.920 I mean, this is all I think about now every day. Really, 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:07.760 I mean, this is where I am. So here's what 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:09.600 I told my friend, though I thought I should share 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.200 this with you. Things will calm down for a few days, 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.360 but there'll be a spike and known cases next week 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.159 when they get a bunch of test results back from 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.719 the newly opened labs. At that point, people will realize 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.200 there are thousands of infected here in the Tri state 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:26.240 area and at least tens of thousands infected nationally, which 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.000 means that community spread will be very hard, if not impossible, 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.880 to contain. That's when hospital admissions will spike, and that's 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.199 when everybody will really freak out. I think they may 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.879 shut the subways here down and create quarantine zones in 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.680 some major cities. NYC will basically come to a standstill 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.040 for a week or two. Will we be more or 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:47.520 less okay by June. Yes, but we're in for an 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:50.880 ugly sixty to ninety days. That's where I think we are. 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.520 That's what I think will happen here. I hope I 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.600 am wrong, but I think that's a middle path. There 0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:59.919 are certainly worse outcomes it out there. We also have 0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:02.719 a talk about the Chinese trying to put this on 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.239 America and there's a great power struggle here that this 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.159 virus is at the center of. I'll get into that 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:11.000 as well. Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:15.159 Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:19.760 wherever you get your podcasts. It goes away, it's going away. 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.360 We wanted to go away with very very few deaths 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.840 people have. You know, we call it cases. How many 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:30.040 cases do you have? Well, relative to other countries, we 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.879 have very few cases relative to certain of the major 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:36.960 countries that really have a bigger problem than us. We've 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.560 offered by the RAN. Just interestingly, I think we have 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.080 the greatest doctors in the world. We've offered a RAN assistance. 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:48.080 RAN as having a tremendous problem, and we have offered 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:51.600 a RAN assistance. If they'd like it, we will help them. 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:56.000 We'd be glad to help take So here's a part 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:59.439 of this whole discussion. I don't think anybody has answers for, 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:05.000 but this is certainly, very certainly very important to our 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:10.240 understanding of this you are probably seeing today. You know, 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.679 there's there's a reason for I think, substantial optimism, and 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.439 then there's a reason for substantial concern. And this is 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.000 these are the two ideas that keep bouncing back and 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:25.720 forth in my head. You have globally about one hundred 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:29.439 and forty thousand cases. You've got about five thousand deaths 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:34.120 from this, right, so you're looking at a global fatality, 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:38.160 a mortality rate of around you know, two to three percent. 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:42.840 Keeping in mind that established cases are I mean when 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:44.600 I say keeping in mind, that doesn't get factored into 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.440 the calculation. But you should keep in mind that confirmed 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:52.280 cases are absolutely less than actual cases. There's no way 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.399 that's not true. There are a lot of people that 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.720 thought they had a cold or just you know, figure it. 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:58.080 I don't know what's going on here. They stay at 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:00.200 home for a week, and now they're going about their lives. 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:01.520 I said it home for two weeks. Now they're going 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.680 about their lives. There's this analysis, right now, and look 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:09.439 that the Drudge Report has been absolutely pedal to the 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.520 metal on we should all be as scared as possible 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:14.800 about this from the very beginning. Now, some people would 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.000 say that that's that, that's been the correct position at 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:21.320 this point. We'll see. I don't think you could say 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:26.160 that quite yet, because in China is a very crowded 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.439 country with over a billion people, and the cities are 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:32.320 I mean, Wuhan has I think eight or ten million people. 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.600 How many Look, I will admit this, how many even 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:38.280 knew anything about Wuhan before the Wuhan virus, which is 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:39.480 what we will call it. This is going to be 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:44.000 a little bit like undocumented immigrant or undocumented person versus 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:48.840 illegal alien. One term is more important and more precise. 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:50.840 But because you will hear the other one, you know, 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:54.800 people say, you know, the undocumented undocumented persons, it starts 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:56.639 to steep in your brain. So we've all been saying 0:20:56.960 --> 0:21:00.320 coronavirus so much that you don't think that I'm backing 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:02.200 off of this when I say, if I'm trying to 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:06.840 say Wuhan virus, say coronavirus. It's really just because you 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:09.360 know this. This is part of the propaganda effect out there, 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.520 And I don't know why we would call something coronavirus 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:17.480 when that's an imp imprecise way of describing it, and 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.720 with so many other diseases we describe it by the 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:24.280 first place of known origin. And there's a reason why people, 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:27.520 it's it's important. This isn't just a you know, getting 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.840 down to the details and who cares. There's a reason 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:30.960 for all of this. There is a reason why I 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:33.760 think we need to focus on this. But I'm giving 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:36.639 you now my we'll get into the politics of this 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:42.160 and everything else us. The reason that I see for 0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:48.800 optimism here is China's got a billion people and they 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:53.080 have had what I mean a few a few thousand 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:55.399 deaths to this point, and they've been dealing with the 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:59.040 virus for months, and they have over a population of 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:02.639 over a billion. And they also suppressed it in the 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:06.600 early days when after scientists who were trying to get 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:08.560 the word out early I mean, there was a government 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:10.399 lockdown on this in a bad way, not meant to 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:13.320 protect the public, meant to protect the Chinese Communist Party 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:17.680 and the regime. Well if China, which does have a look, 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:20.119 I was just in China about a year ago. You 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:22.560 trust me, if you were given the option of being 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.879 in a Chinese hospital or an American hospital, your standard 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:27.960 American hospital, you would take ninety nine times out of 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:32.080 one hundred. So there's no reason to believe that they 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.159 have a better public health system for dealing with this 0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:39.040 than we do. How now, And you could also say, Buck, 0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:42.280 maybe they're lying about the numbers. Maybe they're lying about 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:46.000 the numbers, And I say, yeah, I mean that's certainly 0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:48.560 a possibility too. And so you know, if we don't 0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:50.960 trust their numbers, I don't know. You know, they did 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:53.240 put the virus sequence out there so people could start 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:55.720 developing tests for it, But if they don't put the 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:57.720 numbers out, or rather if we can't trust their numbers, 0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:00.200 I don't know how we can really even analyze this 0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:02.600 situation China. I do trust the numbers in South Korea, though, 0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:04.480 I do trust the numbers in Hong Kong and Singapore 0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:07.240 countries that I've gotten this under control. But let's just 0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:09.520 focus on China for a second. If if this disease 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:15.719 is as easily transmitted and as dangerous as we've been 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:19.400 led to believe by most of the media accounts, isn't 0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:21.320 it almost well, wouldn't we have to consider it almost 0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:25.320 a miracle if Chinese numbers are correct, that you only 0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.520 have a few thousand. I mean, I'll give you the 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:32.719 updated the updated number as of today, so I can 0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:37.879 stop just saying, you know, a few thousand, So you have, Okay, 0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:43.840 Italy's coronavirus death toll is over a thousand people, and 0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:46.960 I'm trying to see what the Chinese coronavirus death toll 0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:53.000 is anyway, it's it's it can't be more. The overall 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.360 death toll is five thousand. So let's say you've got 0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:58.480 you know, three thousand roughly dead in China. I think 0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:01.840 I think that's about what the number is. That's very 0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:05.679 very small, considering the entire population of China would have 0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:10.720 been at risk for this for weeks and just free 0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:13.880 transmission of this for weeks before anybody was doing anything. 0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:16.439 And I know that they've taken pretty extreme measures to 0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:20.359 lock this down, but okay, you know the measures are 0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:23.960 effectively versions of what we're doing here, Cleaning public areas, 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:28.439 keeping people home, limiting social interaction, social contact, all this stuff. 0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:33.520 So okay, why would why would we then have to 0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:36.919 be told as we are being told, that there's a 0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:39.760 likelihood in this country, a serious likelihood that will have 0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:43.119 a half a million people dead from this, which is 0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:47.399 what we're being told by some of these estimates apparently 0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.840 coming from health experts. Now, for that to be true, 0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:53.280 and I'm not saying it's not true, I don't know. 0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:55.600 No one can predict the future. You know, that's one 0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:58.680 of one of my most important They're saying one hundred 0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:03.119 and fifty million Americans could get infected. Okay, well, one 0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:06.040 hundred and fifty million Americans getting infected. If you have 0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:10.160 a mortality rate of two or three percent, you're gonna 0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:12.199 have a few million people who die. You've got a 0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:15.480 billion Chinese and we're months and months into this. It's 0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:18.320 supposed to spread very quickly and have a very rapid onset. 0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:21.719 Most people develop symptoms within days of exposure, they believe. 0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:23.879 Although there are these other you know, there's all these 0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:27.440 competing theories and stories out there. For medical professionals, taking 0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:29.040 a step back for a moment, this is just also 0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:33.040 you know, the doctors, nurses, they do all these amazing things, 0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:35.000 and there they are on the front line. They are 0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:38.399 the you know, the Praetorian Guard, or actually no more 0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:40.040 than that, the Pretorian Guard is usually in the back. 0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:43.440 They're the front line soldiers. They are the marines of 0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:48.400 this war. They're the grunts of this war against this virus. 0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:50.719 I mean, they're they're the ones that are right there 0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:53.879 taking it and and dishing it out to the other side. 0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:57.440 This time the other side is as a virus. But 0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:00.920 there's a lot that modern me doesn't know. I think 0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:03.919 we have generally been led to believe because of some 0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:06.320 of the amazing things we can do with cancer treatments, 0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:11.000 and that modern medicine has more answers than it does. 0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:13.640 There are a lot of big questions out there that 0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:16.760 medical communities still is. I know they're trying to answer them, 0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:19.280 but they don't have answers to you. And if you 0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:22.480 want a very low level of a very low level 0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:25.080 version of this and something far less serious what we're 0:26:25.080 --> 0:26:26.880 talking about here, just going to a doctor and say, 0:26:26.920 --> 0:26:29.240 you know, you have IBS, and doctors will give you 0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:31.560 fifty different reasons for it and fifty different things you 0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:32.840 can do about it, and you know, it's kind of 0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:35.480 like good luck, sorry about your ibs. Right then that's 0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:37.800 just a But millions and millions and millions of people 0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:39.840 have that in this country. I think it's the estimate 0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:42.840 ten to twenty million people suffer from it pretty regularly. 0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:45.800 Don't have answers to that. Now, that's obviously not a 0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:48.800 pandemic and people aren't dying from it. But I'm just 0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:51.760 saying there's a lot that modern medicine doesn't know yet. 0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:56.240 And when you see all these different analyzes from people 0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:59.160 in the medical profession or estimates or guesses, you start 0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:02.000 to think, Okay, what do we really what do we 0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:05.080 really know here? What do we really have an understanding of? 0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:09.280 So the upside, the big upside that I see is 0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:12.919 that you've had not only slowed transmission rates in other countries, 0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:16.720 so it is possible to slow this thing down. That's good, 0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:21.800 but also that in China you've had really, relatively speaking, 0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:29.240 so few deaths in total that it makes me think, well, 0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:31.520 can't we expect there to be a similar, if not 0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:36.159 better outcome here, especially because we're taking these precautions. Again, 0:27:36.200 --> 0:27:39.399 I don't know, I do and now, so that's on 0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:41.400 the good side of things, right, and the good side 0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:43.120 of things. And as you know, eighty percent of people, 0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:47.280 they keep repeating this, eighty percent of people get a 0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:51.280 relatively mild disease with some you know, flu like or 0:27:51.359 --> 0:27:54.000 cold like really more like cold like symptoms. It's well, 0:27:54.119 --> 0:27:55.520 you get a fever, that's not really so much with 0:27:55.600 --> 0:27:57.240 a cold, but you get a fever and you get 0:27:57.560 --> 0:28:00.920 a dry cough. Those are seem to be the two 0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:04.359 most common, definitely the fever and usually the dry cough, 0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:10.879 and it can linger. Now on the on the side 0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:15.280 of greater concern, I would say a couple of things. One, 0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:18.919 we keep seeing this one hundred and forty thousand people 0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:25.080 worldwide have gotten the disease, confirmed to have gotten the disease, 0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:29.200 and sixty thousand have recovered. Okay, that's less than half 0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:32.440 the people that have had the disease. Now, does that 0:28:32.480 --> 0:28:35.119 mean that eighty thousand of them have just gone the 0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:38.680 disease in the last couple of weeks and so they're 0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:42.400 not yet confirmed that that's possible. But I do have 0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:47.000 concerns that maybe this illness can linger longer than people realize. 0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:49.360 And that's also where you get into the how long 0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:53.239 are people going to be contagious with this? And you know, 0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:56.760 once you've had it, you know, I suppose you're gonna 0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:58.760 have to wait till you've get a negative test back 0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:02.600 before you really know that you don't have the risk 0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:07.920 of making contagious for anybody else. That's that's where I 0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:10.400 think we really are with this, that we need to 0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:14.480 figure out what the incubation period is. And there's the 0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:17.840 possibility even viruses react differently with different people, and is 0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:19.400 this has always been the case. There are a lot 0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:22.600 of viruses that people show no symptoms for that. There's 0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:25.400 still something called viral shedding that goes on, which means 0:29:25.400 --> 0:29:28.440 that you're in whatever way you're transmitting it, you're you know, 0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:31.560 little little viruses are getting out and you can still 0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:36.120 give it to somebody. So that's why you know there's 0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:40.160 a there's some uncertainty here. Next week, I think we 0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:41.760 should all be prepared for this, and I wanted to 0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:43.760 say this to you now, and I've what was it 0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:45.280 a few days ago? I said, look, I think we're 0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:46.960 gonna have some days. And then the next day I 0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:49.520 was like, yep, we're having a day where we got 0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:51.600 to batten down the hatches and get ready for the 0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:54.160 squall that's coming. Next week is going to be a 0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:56.520 bad week for this. So I want us to all 0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:58.920 get and by the way, don't you know, don't this weekend, 0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:01.360 give yourself off a break. I mean, I'm gonna do 0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:03.920 the same thing. I'm telling Producer Ah, Producer Mark's actually 0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:07.360 moving this weekend, so he unfortunately, dude, we are all. 0:30:07.400 --> 0:30:09.120 I just want to say. I know that people like 0:30:09.120 --> 0:30:11.400 this is a global pandemic or whatever, but you have 0:30:11.440 --> 0:30:14.360 to deal with the global pandemic too, and you are 0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:17.160 moving your home. Yes, this weekend. And when all the 0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:19.200 rumors were coming out, my wife was freaking out that 0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:20.960 like they were going to shut down the roads and 0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:24.320 shut down the transit system and it was bad. I'm 0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:27.480 just hoping tomorrow happens. Yeah, I think you're good for tomorrow. 0:30:27.680 --> 0:30:29.880 It's better that it's tomorrow than next week. Yes, but 0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:32.320 I'm starting moving. You know, I've moved far too much 0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:35.320 in life, Unfortunately, I've just for different reasons, for jobs 0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:38.840 and for you know things, I've moved too many times. 0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:42.480 Moving is very stressful, so everything. So I understand the 0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:44.760 stress of every that everyone feels right now, particularly in 0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:46.640 this city because we know there are people walking around 0:30:46.640 --> 0:30:49.320 with coronavirus. We know that CBS had to shut down 0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:51.800 it's offices for a day to do a cleaning. I'm 0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:54.200 also not sure I'm not opening their offices again for 0:30:54.200 --> 0:30:56.960 another week. Oh wow, I just knew they shut it 0:30:57.000 --> 0:30:59.200 down for the day. It's a week. So producer Mark 0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:02.360 has friends and contexts that know about what's going on. 0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:05.200 I just focus on the freedom hunt. I know you do. Yeah, 0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:08.880 so yeah, I mean this is the you know, this 0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:12.400 is the way the city is right now. Everyone's very anxious, 0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:18.040 everyone's very um, you know, concerned about this stuff. And yeah, 0:31:18.760 --> 0:31:21.760 I gotta say right now this weekend, you gotta let 0:31:21.800 --> 0:31:25.320 yourself be with families, stay home, stay in place. If 0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:27.480 you have to go out, you have look half to 0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:29.000 means have to, right. I mean, this is the reason 0:31:29.000 --> 0:31:30.600 I'm here, It's the reason Mark's here, Like, we gotta 0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:32.000 put on a show. We gotta be here to do 0:31:32.040 --> 0:31:35.680 the show. You know, we might figure out some ways 0:31:35.680 --> 0:31:37.640 to leverage technology so that we don't have to be 0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:39.480 co located. Because Mark and I've been talking about this. 0:31:39.520 --> 0:31:43.640 If one of us is near somebody who thinks they 0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:45.959 have if one of us is near somebody who has 0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:50.520 self quarantined, then really we have to self quarantine because 0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:53.320 if he has to self quarantine, I have to self quarantine. 0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:54.960 And now we're like, now there's you know, now we 0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:56.760 got a big problem because now we can't do the show. 0:31:57.240 --> 0:31:58.760 So we're going to try to figure out a way 0:31:58.760 --> 0:32:00.360 to be able to keep the show. We're going to 0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:02.040 keep the show going no matter what, but we're figuring 0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:03.840 out the technology in that right now. This is a 0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:07.720 long way of saying, you know, this is this is 0:32:07.760 --> 0:32:11.040 a weekend where you should really take care of yourself. Rest. 0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:14.240 It's important. I know this sounds like, you know, advice 0:32:14.320 --> 0:32:16.440 from fake doctor Buck or something. It's important for your 0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:20.640 immune system. It's important that you psychologically gave yourself. You know, 0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:24.600 this weekend is the weekend to binge on Netflix. Read 0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:27.360 that book, Calm down, give your mind. You know, you've 0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:29.600 had to make so many wherever you are in the country, 0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:31.600 wherever you are around the world right now, you've had 0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:35.120 to make so many decisions about this, whether it's whether 0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:37.080 you're pulling your kids out of school or not, what 0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:38.880 you're gonna do with your kids now that they're home. 0:32:39.720 --> 0:32:42.000 You know what you're doing about your investments in the market, 0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:44.880 and don't that's one place do not panic. Okay, don't panic. 0:32:44.920 --> 0:32:49.280 Sell bad idea, you know there's and sell if you want, 0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:52.080 but don't panic. Sell. So you know, there's all these 0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:54.840 different decisions, and you have decision fatigue. You know, your 0:32:54.880 --> 0:32:57.600 mind gets clouded with what am I going to do next? 0:32:57.640 --> 0:33:00.320 What am I going to do next? This weekend, I'm 0:33:00.320 --> 0:33:03.000 gonna say it. Those of you who pray obviously already 0:33:03.000 --> 0:33:04.400 know you don't need you don't need me to tell 0:33:04.440 --> 0:33:06.280 you it's go weekend for prayer. I don't I mean 0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:08.200 prayer like, oh my gosh, terrible things are gonna happen. 0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:11.720 I mean pray for that connection to God. But you 0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:15.600 know you can also try meditation. I'm gonna be doing 0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:17.000 I am gonna be doing a little bit of yoga 0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:20.640 this weekend. You need to. You've we've all been absorbing this. 0:33:20.760 --> 0:33:24.720 We've all been just the last week or so in particular, 0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:30.000 pulling in all this anxiety and stress. Stress is very immunosuppressive, 0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:32.760 and it's also not helpful for you to make the 0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:34.760 best decisions you need to for you and your family 0:33:34.800 --> 0:33:37.360 going forward. So if you have off this weekend, if 0:33:37.360 --> 0:33:39.160 you're already staying where you are, or if you're in 0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:41.200 a place where you know some of you're like Buck, 0:33:41.200 --> 0:33:43.320 I don't see my neighbors, you know, unless I drive 0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:46.960 you know, two miles in one direction, right, Well, that's great, 0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:51.800 and you know, take this time because next week, next week, 0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:55.200 things are gonna get are gonna get ugly. I'm pretty confident. 0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:58.400 I'm not certain. I'm pretty confident because that's what everyone's 0:33:58.400 --> 0:34:01.240 going to realize. Oh, the numbers are much higher. The 0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:03.240 lack of testing has made us think that there are 0:34:03.280 --> 0:34:05.800 fewer cases than there are, and there's a lot more 0:34:05.840 --> 0:34:08.920 community spread than we realized. And then they're going to 0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:10.680 start worrying about are we going to see the surgeon 0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:13.800 in the hospital the week after that? So be prepared. 0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:15.399 Next week is not going to be a good week. 0:34:15.520 --> 0:34:17.919 Next week is going to be tough. Rest this week 0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:22.279 and take care of yourself this weekend. You're in the 0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:30.000 Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast, Doctor Fatty. 0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:33.040 Will there be cities on lockdown in the United States? 0:34:33.280 --> 0:34:35.279 You know, I don't know. I mean, as I always say, 0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:38.719 you've got to keep everything on the table. You would 0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:42.640 hope that you wouldn't have to resort to these draconian 0:34:42.760 --> 0:34:46.560 moves of actually locking down a city, But it depends 0:34:46.560 --> 0:34:48.839 on what happens. I hope we never get to that. 0:34:49.239 --> 0:34:52.239 But you never take anything off the table when you're 0:34:52.280 --> 0:34:55.399 dealing with protecting the health of the American public. That's 0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:57.360 the way of saying that we could have whole cities 0:34:57.440 --> 0:34:59.560 under quarantine, my friends, And this is what I was 0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:02.480 getting at for be prepared for that next week. It 0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:07.840 won't be forever. And it's also about lengthening out the 0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:11.240 lengthening out what our health system can handle at one time, 0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:15.440 trying to disperse the cases more on a timeline so 0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:17.399 that it's not all a big spike at one time. 0:35:17.480 --> 0:35:22.919 That's why Italy got so just crushed. But we could 0:35:23.000 --> 0:35:24.399 see that, and we could see it as soon as 0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:28.319 next week. Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. 0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:32.120 Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeart Radio app, 0:35:32.320 --> 0:35:36.120 or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, I think one 0:35:36.120 --> 0:35:38.240 thing that we need to do is put politics aside. 0:35:38.239 --> 0:35:41.760 And that's exactly why Democrats have agreed with the President 0:35:41.800 --> 0:35:44.400 Trump on his goals of paid sick leave and his 0:35:44.560 --> 0:35:48.000 goals of free coronavirus testing, and so all of those 0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:50.400 things have been included in our package. We bump it 0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:52.759 up a little bit more. But you know, in when 0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:55.800 you have a Democratic House and Republican Senate, compromises the 0:35:55.880 --> 0:35:57.200 name of the game. I think the President is going 0:35:57.239 --> 0:35:59.040 to have to accept the fact that we're fighting for 0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:01.520 people who are going to be potentially unemployed. He's going 0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:03.040 to have to accept the fact that we're going to 0:36:03.120 --> 0:36:06.400 push on doctor and nurse protections. But also when you 0:36:06.440 --> 0:36:09.440 look at the best, you know, the best healthcare system 0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:12.440 in the world, that's something that's up for debates. South Korea, 0:36:12.480 --> 0:36:14.600 we're up to. South Korea has up to ten thousand 0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:18.279 tests per day. They've been able to provide test to 0:36:18.360 --> 0:36:21.960 any single person that wants it, and here people are scrambling, 0:36:22.200 --> 0:36:24.600 and it almost seems like the more wealthy and powerful 0:36:24.640 --> 0:36:26.919 you are, the more able you're able, the more able 0:36:26.920 --> 0:36:30.000 you are to access a test. But the more you know, 0:36:30.080 --> 0:36:33.120 the rougher road you've got here, it's going to be 0:36:33.160 --> 0:36:35.200 a lot more difficult for you to access healthcare. That's 0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:40.320 exactly the recipe for disaster in the pandemic now AOC. 0:36:40.640 --> 0:36:43.560 I look, I always try to do this, and I 0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:45.359 think I do a pretty good job, certainly better than 0:36:45.360 --> 0:36:46.960 a lot of other people that think that they work 0:36:46.960 --> 0:36:50.160 in the media. When something is good, or when something 0:36:50.239 --> 0:36:51.840 is brave, or when something is right, I say it 0:36:51.960 --> 0:36:54.279 AOC went on Brett Bear Show. Now, Brett Bear is 0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:56.160 very fair, he's not an opinion guy. I don't think 0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:59.520 AOC would sit down with like Tucker because that might 0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:04.920 which by the way, would be amazing. But sitting down 0:37:04.960 --> 0:37:07.839 with Brett Bart, let's give some credit. She's able to 0:37:07.880 --> 0:37:09.960 go and sit down and do that. I when I 0:37:10.000 --> 0:37:13.560 say able, she's willing to do that. A lot of Democrats, 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:15.799 a lot of Libs will never do that, won't do it, 0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:19.000 won't subject themselves to anybody that doesn't just give them 0:37:19.040 --> 0:37:21.520 softball after softball and tell them how wonderful they are, 0:37:21.760 --> 0:37:24.239 which I think is really it is hurting. It's part 0:37:24.239 --> 0:37:26.400 of the polarization in this country. It is hurting discourse. 0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:28.640 I mean, some of you haven't asked me, especially given 0:37:28.680 --> 0:37:30.839 the last time I went on you know, Bill Mars Show. Yeah, 0:37:30.880 --> 0:37:33.240 they were disrespectful and unfair and didn't let me talk. 0:37:33.760 --> 0:37:37.239 But I'm there, I'm making my points. They act that way, 0:37:37.239 --> 0:37:40.320 people at least get to see. I'll argue, I'll argue 0:37:40.360 --> 0:37:44.760 the other side. I'll argue my side on anything with anyone, anytime, anywhere. 0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:47.360 No such things like oh I can't unless you know 0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:51.000 I'm not gonna sit down with like, you know, members 0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:54.239 of the Nation of Islam or neo Nazis or whatever. Right, 0:37:54.239 --> 0:37:56.480 I'm not gonna do that, But I'm saying anybody, there's 0:37:56.480 --> 0:37:59.839 no forum I won't go into for fear of having 0:37:59.840 --> 0:38:01.880 to deal with the other side. In fact, quite the opposite. 0:38:01.880 --> 0:38:05.680 I'd go on CNN tonight. I would go on Anesty 0:38:05.719 --> 0:38:07.920 Cooper show and talk about the Trump administration's response to this. 0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:09.640 No problem. They just won't have me because they're afraid 0:38:09.640 --> 0:38:12.919 that their anchors will get schooled. Then they will. So 0:38:12.960 --> 0:38:15.000 that's there's a huge difference by the way, between one 0:38:15.040 --> 0:38:18.319 on one versus multi person. When it's multi person, it's 0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:20.560 just think of it almost like a fight. You know, 0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:22.040 I don't care how good you think you are as 0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:24.399 a fighter. If there are four people, and of course 0:38:24.400 --> 0:38:26.080 some of you, I'm gonna get in a preser mark. 0:38:26.120 --> 0:38:29.239 There's so many jiu jitsu experts in this audience, you know. 0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:32.040 Whatever I bring this stuff up, they're like, book, I'm 0:38:32.080 --> 0:38:35.720 a ninth degree black belt and I studied in Kyoto 0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:38.880 with sense blah badih blah, and I could do like 0:38:38.920 --> 0:38:40.960 a and I'm always just like, okay, that's good for you. 0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:42.960 But for the rest of us, if three or four 0:38:43.000 --> 0:38:44.880 people attack you, I don't care. If you're like a strong, 0:38:45.000 --> 0:38:47.080 tough person, you're gonna have your hands full if three 0:38:47.120 --> 0:38:49.920 able bodied males attack you as a guy, you know, 0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:51.480 whereas you know one on one, you might think you've 0:38:51.480 --> 0:38:53.160 got a pretty good shot against a lot of people. 0:38:53.320 --> 0:38:55.279 Same thing when you're debating. If if you're arguing with 0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:58.399 four people because you can't, they're gonna have a lot 0:38:58.440 --> 0:39:00.279 more time to speak than you. There's no equal time. 0:39:00.480 --> 0:39:02.880 What you have something to add to this conversation. You 0:39:03.200 --> 0:39:04.960 called me over, so I came over. Oh yeah, no, 0:39:05.000 --> 0:39:06.800 I just I mean, you see in our on our inboxman, 0:39:06.840 --> 0:39:09.360 there are people that, oh yeah, somebody expert on everything. 0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:11.560 We had a guy and by the way, I don't 0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:14.560 I'm not saying this and anything other than other than respect. 0:39:15.120 --> 0:39:17.000 We had a guy when I talked about the fl license, 0:39:17.040 --> 0:39:18.440 I'm like, one of you is gonna write and we 0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:21.480 got a whole paragraph about how much an FFL license 0:39:21.600 --> 0:39:23.800 costs and how you get one. Yeah, you know, I 0:39:23.840 --> 0:39:25.160 think there are a few of them. Actually, we have 0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:29.000 a lot of toilet paper experts at these days. Well, well, 0:39:29.080 --> 0:39:32.000 let's be honest though, we're all kind of toilet paper experts, 0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:34.680 are we? No human doesn't use it? And if you do, actually, 0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:36.399 I want want to hear from you. If you don't 0:39:36.480 --> 0:39:39.399 use toilet paper, I want someone's figured out a better way. Yeah, 0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:42.799 then then i'd be I'd be somewhat curious to see 0:39:42.840 --> 0:39:45.600 how that goes. So anyway, So AOC, I'm just saying 0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:49.760 I I respect people for I can't say I respect 0:39:49.760 --> 0:39:53.319 AOC's positions or knowledge about anything, but I respect that 0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:55.920 she has the goal. And I will say even even 0:39:56.120 --> 0:39:58.239 Bill mar when I did his show afterwards, he said, 0:39:58.280 --> 0:40:01.560 I'm the sugar Ray Leonard of Conservative Tis And you know, 0:40:01.640 --> 0:40:04.680 he does give he doesn't give respect on are to 0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:06.560 people that he shouldn't necessarily from the right, but he 0:40:06.640 --> 0:40:08.400 does understand that there are a lot of people that 0:40:08.440 --> 0:40:10.680 just won't even won't even try, I won't even show up, 0:40:11.080 --> 0:40:13.520 or even worse, they show up and they're like, yeah, 0:40:13.640 --> 0:40:16.799 you're right, you know, I mean Donald Trump's kind of 0:40:16.920 --> 0:40:19.919 terrible actually, and yeah, I know. I want you guys 0:40:19.920 --> 0:40:22.760 to nod your heads and like me. I don't care, 0:40:23.560 --> 0:40:27.560 don't like me, that's fine. Live audience doesn't matter. So 0:40:27.719 --> 0:40:31.400 I'd rather be right than be loved. Maybe that should 0:40:31.440 --> 0:40:34.600 be hm, I kind of like that. Actually, what do 0:40:34.640 --> 0:40:37.959 you think I think I think we'd use that. So 0:40:41.080 --> 0:40:43.640 where was I? Oh? Yes, AOC. So there are two 0:40:44.080 --> 0:40:48.160 worthwhile parts of what she says here. The first has 0:40:48.200 --> 0:40:50.160 to do with wealthy people getting tests. Now, I have 0:40:50.200 --> 0:40:52.440 a friend right now who is receiving and he's been 0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:54.319 very vocal about it. I won't name him because I've 0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:56.040 also been talking to him offline about it. But I 0:40:56.120 --> 0:40:58.040 have a friend in conservative media who's waiting for his 0:40:58.719 --> 0:41:01.719 current see I'm most did it wuhan virus? And I 0:41:01.760 --> 0:41:03.560 need to get into why it's important to call it that. 0:41:03.920 --> 0:41:08.719 Waiting for his wuhan virus test today. I think he's 0:41:08.719 --> 0:41:10.680 supposed to get it, might be tomorrow get back results. 0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:12.719 And he has been one of these people who's saying 0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:14.279 that it has been a nightmare to get the test, 0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:16.279 like trying to actually get the tests they make it. 0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:18.680 You know, you're on the align with the CDC, with 0:41:18.719 --> 0:41:22.040 your healthcare provider. Nobody can figure this thing out, folks, friends, 0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:27.080 This actually isn't really that complicated. This should be very doable. 0:41:27.160 --> 0:41:30.120 This is a failing. But before we get into why, 0:41:30.200 --> 0:41:35.160 it's a failing. You have now some very prominent people 0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:38.960 who have been either confirmed to be in contact with 0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:45.240 wuhan virus or are officially confirmed to have wuhan virus. 0:41:46.040 --> 0:41:50.120 Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is on Brett Bear Show, and right 0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:53.560 around at that point in time, I think it came 0:41:53.600 --> 0:41:56.960 out that that was six pm last night, so I 0:41:56.960 --> 0:41:58.520 was in who I think that's when we saw that 0:41:59.360 --> 0:42:03.680 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had self quarantine and his wife 0:42:03.800 --> 0:42:06.960 was showing symptoms. Turns out the Prime Minister of Canada's 0:42:06.960 --> 0:42:11.719 wife has coronavirus um that I can, right, I don't 0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:13.600 know enough about sports, producer Mark. You remember the NBA 0:42:13.680 --> 0:42:16.880 player who has been confirmed with it on the Jazz 0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:20.080 right as Rudy Gobert. Rudy Gobert, he has it, right, 0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:23.319 he has corona. Yes. And also Donovan Mitchell, who's from 0:42:23.480 --> 0:42:27.120 Queens is on the same team as the JABA players. 0:42:27.120 --> 0:42:30.120 Are two players and he's a star. Ah yeah, yeah, 0:42:30.200 --> 0:42:34.800 So we're all stars though, producer Mark, we're all unique 0:42:34.800 --> 0:42:38.359 snowflakes made in God's image. Yes, of course, thank you. 0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:43.680 We're all special. We're all special. So that's uh, that's 0:42:43.800 --> 0:42:45.959 bringing and of course Tom Hanks and his wife. People 0:42:46.000 --> 0:42:49.400 are now thinking, okay, hold on us, and I believe Balsonaro, 0:42:49.640 --> 0:42:53.840 the president of Brazil, these pro Trump, populous president of Brazil. 0:42:54.360 --> 0:42:57.280 Um he has been tested. He is negative. But somebody 0:42:57.320 --> 0:43:01.799 in his retinue, one of his people, communications directors. I 0:43:01.800 --> 0:43:04.440 think either him or his wife has it. I think 0:43:04.480 --> 0:43:06.040 they believe it's tough to even keep up with this, 0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:08.320 but you're seeing and then all, my gosh, the lives 0:43:08.320 --> 0:43:11.200 they all want. They all want to know why President 0:43:11.239 --> 0:43:15.279 Trump has not been has not been tested for this, 0:43:16.480 --> 0:43:19.160 and they think that it was casual enough contact between 0:43:19.239 --> 0:43:21.359 the president and anybody who might have this, that it's 0:43:21.360 --> 0:43:28.239 not necessary. Prominent people are getting this, which is I mean, 0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:29.880 it's bad that anyone gets this, but it is at 0:43:29.960 --> 0:43:34.000 least raising awareness that anyone can pick this up, that 0:43:34.120 --> 0:43:35.960 this is a just like anyone can pick up a 0:43:36.000 --> 0:43:38.520 cold right. It doesn't matter who you are. Prominent people 0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:41.440 can get this. And why is it though, that they're 0:43:41.440 --> 0:43:43.600 able to get a test so quickly? AOC brings that up. 0:43:43.760 --> 0:43:48.880 I will say that it I mean, maybe that's just 0:43:48.920 --> 0:43:52.480 a perception. Maybe those prominent people are just able to 0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:58.239 maneuver the system. More effectively because I don't know, but 0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:00.600 I do know that my friend who's been he's been 0:44:00.640 --> 0:44:05.919 waiting for over a week to even find out what's 0:44:05.960 --> 0:44:07.560 going on with this test, and I think it took 0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:09.080 him a week to get the test, and you know 0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:14.200 that's that's unacceptable. So the testing issue is real. Look, 0:44:14.239 --> 0:44:17.480 if we had if we had a test sent to 0:44:17.520 --> 0:44:20.000 the home of every American in the country, let's understand 0:44:20.040 --> 0:44:21.480 that would be helpful. I'm not going to pretend like 0:44:21.520 --> 0:44:23.399 that's not helpful to know who has it right now, 0:44:24.160 --> 0:44:28.080 But it wouldn't mean that we wouldn't have to worry 0:44:28.120 --> 0:44:30.600 about this, right It wouldn't mean that we still wouldn't 0:44:30.600 --> 0:44:33.120 have a surge coming up possibly of confirmed cases. And 0:44:33.120 --> 0:44:36.200 they're still community spread and you know, you know, so 0:44:36.239 --> 0:44:39.279 even if you knew who had it, you'd have to 0:44:39.320 --> 0:44:41.600 know who had it and then know everyone that they 0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:44.200 came in. They call it contact tracing, and you'd have 0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:47.680 to do a contact trace of anybody that would come 0:44:47.680 --> 0:44:49.560 into contact with that person. Because I also don't know 0:44:49.600 --> 0:44:52.719 if you if you're able to if they're able to 0:44:52.760 --> 0:44:54.680 pick the virus up before you're symptomatic. I don't know 0:44:54.719 --> 0:44:56.439 the sensitivity of the test. I mean, there's a lot 0:44:56.520 --> 0:44:58.400 that goes into this, and there are a lot of 0:44:58.440 --> 0:45:01.839 still on unanswered questions and one there was one news 0:45:01.920 --> 0:45:04.239 is Once report today. I think, does the Miami of 0:45:04.640 --> 0:45:07.799 I'm sorry, the Mayor of Miami, the Miami of mayors? Well, 0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:09.839 that would probably be really interesting. But does the Mayor 0:45:09.840 --> 0:45:12.680 of Miami have it? Or is Pricer Mark? Would you 0:45:12.760 --> 0:45:15.000 check from me on that? When I think, I don't 0:45:15.000 --> 0:45:17.880 want to ever say that the public figure has coronavirus 0:45:17.880 --> 0:45:20.120 and doesn't, but I thought I saw that there's so 0:45:20.120 --> 0:45:26.640 many headlines coming out on this, so yes he does, right, Yeah, 0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:28.440 the Mayor of Miami does have it, so that you 0:45:28.480 --> 0:45:31.040 know has coronavirus. So people are getting this all right, 0:45:31.880 --> 0:45:34.120 so we know that there is this problem with the testing, 0:45:34.239 --> 0:45:37.480 and let's understand this right now. There are going to 0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:41.640 be discussions about this. This is what the left has 0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:44.279 focused on. And I see how long I've gone without 0:45:44.280 --> 0:45:45.759 really making this political. I'm gonna try to do that 0:45:45.800 --> 0:45:48.400 as much as possible, because this is one of the 0:45:48.480 --> 0:45:50.920 very people always say well, this is not political, when 0:45:50.920 --> 0:45:53.440 they mean it's very political. You know, it's as political 0:45:53.520 --> 0:45:55.680 as it gets, you know. Oh, and just talking about 0:45:55.760 --> 0:45:58.560 you know, access to women's reproductive health. This shouldn't be political, 0:45:58.600 --> 0:46:04.279 oh police, it's very political. This is actually above that, 0:46:04.760 --> 0:46:08.320 this issue of protecting our vulnerable population. We also we 0:46:08.400 --> 0:46:12.160 keep talking about vulnerable seniors. Um, it's not just seniors 0:46:12.200 --> 0:46:15.319 who are in the vulnerable population. And you know, as 0:46:15.360 --> 0:46:18.400 I've said, the one thing whenever you talk about vulnerable seniors, 0:46:18.400 --> 0:46:21.720 everybody's got a mom and dad, a grandma, grandpa, great grandma, 0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:25.919 great grandpa, great uncle. You know. You know, so even 0:46:25.920 --> 0:46:29.239 if you're not in that population age wise, there are 0:46:29.239 --> 0:46:31.239 people then you know, nearest and dearest people to your 0:46:31.280 --> 0:46:33.480 heart are And so that's why everyone focuses in on 0:46:33.520 --> 0:46:36.160 this and understands this is like, you know, we go 0:46:36.239 --> 0:46:38.360 to war with this virus, so they don't touch you know, 0:46:38.480 --> 0:46:41.239 grandma or grandpa or anybody else. Right, That's that's what 0:46:41.280 --> 0:46:44.440 we're trying to accomplish here. But it's not even just 0:46:45.280 --> 0:46:48.640 that age, that age cohort that really has to be 0:46:48.760 --> 0:46:54.080 on guard when they talk about comorbidities. You know, this 0:46:54.120 --> 0:46:56.239 is where everyone starts to think about how you know, 0:46:56.280 --> 0:46:58.799 your your health is so important and you must do 0:46:58.880 --> 0:47:00.840 everything you can. Is on each and every one of 0:47:00.920 --> 0:47:03.520 us now, I know people get I have celiac disease, 0:47:03.600 --> 0:47:05.160 not because I'm a bad guy, right, I mean, people 0:47:05.200 --> 0:47:07.319 have things that come up. It's not because I made 0:47:07.320 --> 0:47:10.680 bad choices. It just is. But to the degree, no, 0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:12.560 I don't need gluten, And that's what I mean. You 0:47:12.719 --> 0:47:17.080 make the choices you can because if if you don't, 0:47:17.200 --> 0:47:19.319 you're just going to play a worse hand. You know, 0:47:19.320 --> 0:47:20.920 we've all been dealt a hand with our health, but 0:47:20.960 --> 0:47:23.839 you've got to play the best hand you can. There 0:47:23.960 --> 0:47:27.600 was a very interesting I'm trying to find it right now. 0:47:27.600 --> 0:47:29.719 I'm sorry. There's so much information coming in team. So 0:47:29.719 --> 0:47:32.680 if today sounds a little bit less, you know, a 0:47:32.680 --> 0:47:34.560 little more free form of a show and a little 0:47:34.560 --> 0:47:36.879 bit less like I've got this precise. Usually I come 0:47:36.920 --> 0:47:40.919 in here and I've got three hours of topics broken down, 0:47:41.080 --> 0:47:43.400 you know, issue by issue, content by content. What's the takeaway? 0:47:43.400 --> 0:47:45.319 I mean, that's how I approach the show today. I 0:47:45.360 --> 0:47:47.560 just feel like we're all drinking from a fire hose. 0:47:47.680 --> 0:47:50.720 So it's a little more of a as we go. Okay, 0:47:50.719 --> 0:47:53.759 this was on respiratory fitness. I thought this was this 0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:58.040 was fascinating and for America, you have to put this 0:47:58.120 --> 0:48:02.680 in the overall column in terms of our ability to 0:48:02.719 --> 0:48:08.480 withstand the spread of this disease. This is from Carl Quintanilla, 0:48:09.080 --> 0:48:14.640 who is a reporter anchor at at CNBC, and he says, 0:48:14.640 --> 0:48:20.120 the two most important parameters in respiratory fitness. This really matters, 0:48:20.320 --> 0:48:25.520 right because this disease goes for the lungs. That is, 0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:30.520 that is the way that this is taking people, taking 0:48:30.520 --> 0:48:32.080 them out where they have to go to the hospital. 0:48:32.120 --> 0:48:34.200 And then even some people don't make it through, don't 0:48:34.239 --> 0:48:36.759 win the fight in the hospital, even if they have intubation, 0:48:36.840 --> 0:48:41.000 if they're in the ICU. So respiratory fitness is really 0:48:41.239 --> 0:48:44.080 really important, and he says the two most important factors 0:48:44.080 --> 0:48:47.839 in that are one. Now, one of these is an look. 0:48:47.840 --> 0:48:49.440 I have a lot of sympathy for people that have 0:48:49.440 --> 0:48:52.839 any kind of an addiction. I get it, But I'm 0:48:52.880 --> 0:48:54.640 just looking at the numbers here, are looking at the 0:48:54.640 --> 0:48:59.000 aggregate of what we're facing. Whether the person smokes cigarettes, 0:48:59.120 --> 0:49:04.120 it's very very important when you're gauging their respiratory finness. 0:49:04.160 --> 0:49:06.719 So I'm telling you this because you know, I know 0:49:06.800 --> 0:49:08.440 there's a lot of team buck that you're you know, 0:49:08.480 --> 0:49:12.400 you smoke, and I'm just looking out for you. You 0:49:12.520 --> 0:49:14.520 have to consider yourself if you're a smoker in a 0:49:14.640 --> 0:49:16.799 higher risk Even if you're a thirty five year old 0:49:16.880 --> 0:49:19.320 or a thirty year old smoker, you got to consider 0:49:19.360 --> 0:49:21.080 yourself to be in a higher risk category in this. 0:49:21.200 --> 0:49:24.840 So please take those precautions that people are talking about. 0:49:25.400 --> 0:49:27.920 I know it's a little counterintuitive, but if you're if 0:49:27.920 --> 0:49:29.719 you're a long time smoker, I mean not if you 0:49:29.719 --> 0:49:31.880 smoke one cigarette a month or something, but if you're 0:49:31.880 --> 0:49:35.279 a long time smoker and you're in your thirties and 0:49:35.320 --> 0:49:38.719 your forties and your fifties, you got to think about 0:49:38.760 --> 0:49:41.480 this like your this disease is going to come after 0:49:41.600 --> 0:49:45.480 you very very possibly like somebody who's in their seventies 0:49:45.520 --> 0:49:48.200 or their eighties, in terms of your lung your ability 0:49:48.480 --> 0:49:50.600 for your lungs to fight back against this. So you 0:49:50.760 --> 0:49:54.400 got to be very careful. And the pollution level is 0:49:54.400 --> 0:49:58.360 the other part of this that's also a really important 0:49:58.360 --> 0:50:02.200 indicator for how well member. You know, I was in China, 0:50:02.600 --> 0:50:05.960 as I said a year ago, and I was I 0:50:06.000 --> 0:50:09.080 was leaving Shanghai, which usually is not as badly polluted 0:50:09.120 --> 0:50:13.080 as as Beijing, and it's it is like something out 0:50:13.080 --> 0:50:15.480 of a post apocalyptic movie when the and it was 0:50:15.520 --> 0:50:17.319 still there, and it's apparently a lot better than it 0:50:17.400 --> 0:50:21.400 used to be. But you can see this, you know, 0:50:21.719 --> 0:50:23.440 I can't even really explain it to you. I mean, 0:50:23.520 --> 0:50:25.879 it just looks like a collection of smog and when 0:50:25.880 --> 0:50:27.840 the sun's going down, it kind of bounces off it 0:50:27.880 --> 0:50:31.040 in a not appealing way. And you know, you have 0:50:31.120 --> 0:50:35.560 this this goo that's all in the air. It's just pollution. 0:50:36.200 --> 0:50:39.200 And by the way, I'm all about conservation. I'm against pollution. 0:50:39.280 --> 0:50:41.480 I'm just not against CO two, which plants rely on 0:50:41.640 --> 0:50:44.680 for air, and you know that's CO two is not 0:50:44.719 --> 0:50:46.800 a polluting but we all have to pretend, because the 0:50:47.120 --> 0:50:50.799 green movement is insane, pollution is bad. And I'm all like, no, 0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:55.000 we do not want these you know, industrial facilities spewing 0:50:55.000 --> 0:50:58.640 out acrid smoke that that hurts your lungs, and you 0:50:58.680 --> 0:51:01.000 know we breathe out ct So how much of a 0:51:01.040 --> 0:51:03.320 polluting isn't really folks, let's think about that for a second. 0:51:03.360 --> 0:51:05.759 We're it's literally coming out of your body every second. 0:51:05.800 --> 0:51:08.319 We're supposed to think that's that's pollution anyway, don't get 0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:10.839 me started on that. You know, these days, I'll tell 0:51:10.880 --> 0:51:12.359 you as a part of me. I don't know. I'm 0:51:12.400 --> 0:51:14.719 a little rebel, you know what I'm not doing these 0:51:14.800 --> 0:51:17.319 days as we're all like in lockdown and trying to 0:51:17.320 --> 0:51:20.200 stay alive and worried about our loved ones. No, they 0:51:20.200 --> 0:51:22.799 can come after me for the not recycling. Sorry, not 0:51:22.880 --> 0:51:25.480 doing it. It's going right into trash. I'm sorry. I 0:51:25.480 --> 0:51:28.880 don't want to hear about it. More important things stankkul 0:51:29.400 --> 0:51:35.680 All right, So on smoking and on pollution, the smoking 0:51:35.760 --> 0:51:38.000 rate and the average pollution levels. Here's what you got, 0:51:38.000 --> 0:51:41.760 country by country. China smoking rate forty seven percent, average 0:51:41.760 --> 0:51:46.120 pollution level forty one percent. South Korea smoking rate forty 0:51:46.160 --> 0:51:50.400 nine percent, average pollution level twenty four percent. Iran smoking 0:51:50.480 --> 0:51:53.600 rate twenty one percent, average pollution level twenty four percent. 0:51:53.680 --> 0:51:59.960 Italy twenty eight smoking rate, pollution fourteen. United States smoking nineteen, 0:52:00.560 --> 0:52:08.680 pollution nine. This matters. We have a lower percentage of smokers, 0:52:09.160 --> 0:52:12.200 and we have and this is probably the most important 0:52:12.239 --> 0:52:14.560 in terms of looking at the aggregate numbers and how 0:52:14.560 --> 0:52:18.000 this will affect the population of this country. Overall, we 0:52:18.120 --> 0:52:22.120 have much cleaner air than these other countries. Now, I 0:52:22.160 --> 0:52:24.920 know this seems like, how can this really matter? This 0:52:25.040 --> 0:52:27.080 is what It all comes down to, is can your 0:52:27.120 --> 0:52:28.879 lungs get enough oxygen to the rest of your body 0:52:28.920 --> 0:52:31.400 if and when this thing attacks you and your lungs. 0:52:31.480 --> 0:52:34.040 If you are dealing with daily pollution all the time, 0:52:34.320 --> 0:52:37.359 your lung capacity is affected and the strain on your 0:52:37.440 --> 0:52:41.040 lungs is already higher. So I'm not Look, this is 0:52:41.080 --> 0:52:43.399 not like, oh, we're great. It's America. We got clean air, 0:52:43.440 --> 0:52:45.200 so we're not. No, of course, this has still killed 0:52:45.239 --> 0:52:46.920 people in this country. I think it just killed the 0:52:46.920 --> 0:52:48.600 first person in New Jersey. It's killed a bunch of 0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:51.800 seniors out in Washington State. But we're in better shape 0:52:52.160 --> 0:52:55.239 than a lot of these countries we've already seen from 0:52:55.320 --> 0:52:58.560 day one, because of the health of our population and 0:52:58.640 --> 0:53:01.840 because of the age of our population. Italy's population is 0:53:01.920 --> 0:53:07.680 much older than ours as a percentage, and then also pollution. 0:53:10.080 --> 0:53:13.080 You're in the Freedom hud. This is the Buck Sexton 0:53:13.160 --> 0:53:19.560 Show podcast. So I also wanted to get into the 0:53:19.680 --> 0:53:23.840 testing situation here because we're told a lot about the 0:53:24.280 --> 0:53:27.120 failure and the testing. There's some lessons here about the 0:53:27.200 --> 0:53:30.680 CDC and about bureaucracy, and then also about ingenuity, and 0:53:30.719 --> 0:53:33.239 there's a big focus now that I want to drill 0:53:33.280 --> 0:53:37.880 down to a little bit about local government, local action, 0:53:38.120 --> 0:53:41.600 and how if you're relying on the FEDS, you're going 0:53:41.640 --> 0:53:44.960 to be waiting a very long time. Local governments are 0:53:44.960 --> 0:53:47.000 stepping up now in a way that we should focus on. 0:53:47.960 --> 0:53:50.719 Thanks for listening to the bus Sex and Show podcasts. 0:53:51.040 --> 0:53:54.880 Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or 0:53:54.880 --> 0:53:58.320 wherever you get your podcasts, just to give you a 0:53:58.360 --> 0:54:00.560 little bit of a of a either a little bit 0:54:00.600 --> 0:54:04.200 of a pause in all the Wuhan, I haven't even 0:54:04.200 --> 0:54:06.680 gotten into the reason why we should call it that, 0:54:06.800 --> 0:54:09.000 and try I keep meaning to and team, there's so 0:54:09.080 --> 0:54:11.319 much and look, we're gonna be in this together. We're 0:54:11.360 --> 0:54:14.160 in this every day until this thing is passed. So 0:54:14.400 --> 0:54:18.480 shields high for real. This was a story that I 0:54:18.480 --> 0:54:20.799 thought was just worth taking a moment to look at. 0:54:21.440 --> 0:54:25.160 Andrew Gillham. You may remember Andrew Gillham. He was a 0:54:25.680 --> 0:54:33.640 very celebrated by the media gubernatorial candidate for the state 0:54:33.640 --> 0:54:35.680 of Florida, very important state as we all know, for 0:54:35.680 --> 0:54:40.600 a lot of reasons. And he was the mayor of Tallahassee, which, 0:54:40.640 --> 0:54:43.320 as I understand it is not a particularly well run city. 0:54:43.400 --> 0:54:46.680 It's got city with some problems, but it turned and 0:54:46.719 --> 0:54:49.120 I think, now he's a CNN contributor. He was because 0:54:49.120 --> 0:54:51.360 you know, CNN, if you become a famous Democrat running 0:54:51.360 --> 0:54:53.239 for office, you know the first thing you move when 0:54:53.239 --> 0:54:54.880 you move to when you lose is you just go 0:54:54.880 --> 0:54:58.960 to Jeff Zucker and he starts writing your checks. Turns 0:54:59.000 --> 0:55:01.280 out that this is breaking news from today. Andrew Gillham 0:55:02.040 --> 0:55:07.160 was quote in an inebriated state, inebriated state, on the 0:55:07.200 --> 0:55:11.560 scene of a possible drug overdose at the Mandrean South 0:55:11.600 --> 0:55:17.279 Beach Hotel early this morning with clear plastic baggies containing 0:55:17.400 --> 0:55:23.840 suspected crystal meth. Not only was he the Democrats and 0:55:24.040 --> 0:55:28.160 he came close to winning the Democrats favorite I mean, 0:55:28.160 --> 0:55:31.120 the media love this guy. He was their choice for 0:55:31.160 --> 0:55:37.919 the governor of California, I'm sorry, pardon me, governor of Florida. 0:55:38.440 --> 0:55:40.600 But he also was talked about by some people as 0:55:40.600 --> 0:55:45.000 a possible VP candidate. And look, if this was like 0:55:45.200 --> 0:55:46.920 fifteen years ago and he was a young guy and 0:55:46.960 --> 0:55:49.160 this happened and we found this out later, I'd be like, hey, 0:55:49.200 --> 0:55:52.000 you know, I mean, look, I know drugs are bad, 0:55:52.280 --> 0:55:55.080 oding is very serious. I get all that, but you know, 0:55:55.120 --> 0:55:56.719 I think we're living at a time now where we 0:55:57.080 --> 0:56:00.520 are more forgiving of people's youthful and disgressions, and we 0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:01.920 used to be al much just having on. Then we 0:56:01.960 --> 0:56:04.000 make up in discretions that didn't happen, and we make 0:56:04.080 --> 0:56:07.120 up assaults that didn't happen. But you know, in general, 0:56:07.160 --> 0:56:09.160 I think we're a little bit work But not if 0:56:09.160 --> 0:56:12.360 you're being talked about, actively talked about as a possible 0:56:12.440 --> 0:56:15.839 VP candidate, then you probably shouldn't be in an inebriated 0:56:15.920 --> 0:56:18.560 state at a drug overdose scene at the Mandrea and 0:56:18.600 --> 0:56:20.160 South Beach Hotel. I've been too, by the way, which 0:56:20.239 --> 0:56:23.319 let me tell you, party never stops there. That place 0:56:23.400 --> 0:56:29.960 is the place is lit lit af for sure, that's 0:56:29.960 --> 0:56:32.799 where that's where the party happens. I'm just telling you 0:56:32.800 --> 0:56:36.839 it's a lot of at the Mandrean and at once 0:56:36.880 --> 0:56:40.320 that other the slsoh, man, you better put your party 0:56:40.320 --> 0:56:42.319 shoes on if you go to the SLS and South Beach. 0:56:42.400 --> 0:56:45.080 I can tell you that much. So Andrew Gillam will 0:56:45.080 --> 0:56:46.719 see if this ends up being what it looks like. 0:56:46.840 --> 0:56:50.719 But um, yeah, yeah, that's a that's a real thing 0:56:50.719 --> 0:56:53.040 that's going on right now. That's a news story for 0:56:53.080 --> 0:56:57.840 you that has nothing to do with virus. Um okay, 0:56:57.840 --> 0:56:59.839 so CDC and then uhuan virus and then we gotta 0:56:59.840 --> 0:57:04.000 get into some other stuff. The CDC is a federal 0:57:04.000 --> 0:57:08.000 bureaucracy that is vast and bloated and wasteful and spends 0:57:08.000 --> 0:57:09.839 a lot of time not doing We all think, here, 0:57:10.000 --> 0:57:12.640 here's our perception. And it reminds me a little bit 0:57:12.640 --> 0:57:15.160 of the movie The Strain, which I'll come back to 0:57:15.320 --> 0:57:19.360 later because there's a lot of If you haven't watched it, 0:57:19.440 --> 0:57:21.720 I think now is the time to watch that show. 0:57:22.560 --> 0:57:24.640 I'm just gonna say, if you haven't seen The Strain, 0:57:24.720 --> 0:57:29.240 it's kind of about it's a pandemic. That's really Also 0:57:29.520 --> 0:57:33.560 it's set of a disease. It's a vampire. Essentially, a 0:57:33.640 --> 0:57:36.960 vampire disease makes people in the vampires. That's a disease. Look, 0:57:37.000 --> 0:57:39.160 I'm just if you're gonna be corn self quarantining or 0:57:39.200 --> 0:57:41.560 social distancing and you want something to watch, maybe it's 0:57:41.560 --> 0:57:43.120 the worst thing to watch because it might freak you 0:57:43.120 --> 0:57:45.200 out a little bit because the hero is a guy 0:57:45.240 --> 0:57:48.560 from the CDC. The main character is like the CDC 0:57:48.760 --> 0:57:53.280 director of you know, infectious Disease. It's basically doctor Fauci, 0:57:53.360 --> 0:57:55.800 but like a forty years younger version of him, who 0:57:55.840 --> 0:57:58.480 somehow is also really good with like machetes and weapons. 0:57:58.520 --> 0:58:01.880 But you know, of course, so although I bet Fouchi, 0:58:01.920 --> 0:58:03.240 I bet Fouchi you could throw it down if you 0:58:03.320 --> 0:58:05.440 needed to in the zombie apocalypse. I don't know. I 0:58:05.600 --> 0:58:07.040 get the feeling, you know, if you talk to him, 0:58:07.080 --> 0:58:08.360 he probably in the Old County, you know, in the 0:58:08.360 --> 0:58:11.120 old country, back in the day, and the Bronx played 0:58:11.120 --> 0:58:13.920 a little stickball, and I bet he was in some scraps. 0:58:14.040 --> 0:58:17.120 So you know, I can just see a day and said, 0:58:17.200 --> 0:58:20.040 you know Tony Fauci from the Bronx. Okay, so is 0:58:20.080 --> 0:58:25.160 his name Anthea? It's Anthony right. The CDC was asked 0:58:25.160 --> 0:58:27.760 if they could allow labs to do their own tests, 0:58:27.760 --> 0:58:30.480 and they said no, because they're not allowed to say 0:58:30.560 --> 0:58:33.360 yes because the bureaucracy has rules and the bureaucracy won't 0:58:33.360 --> 0:58:35.440 just bend rules. Now, that's probably where Trump should have 0:58:35.440 --> 0:58:37.960 put out an executive order for the CDC to be 0:58:38.000 --> 0:58:41.680 able to expedite any test requests, and not just test requests, 0:58:41.680 --> 0:58:44.000 but the ability to set up a test and do 0:58:44.080 --> 0:58:46.240 it remotely. Because there are a lot of state labs 0:58:46.240 --> 0:58:48.280 that have the ability to do this. I will say 0:58:48.360 --> 0:58:50.960 Governor Cuomo, who I've given a hard time too many times, 0:58:51.000 --> 0:58:54.080 and I think rightly so in the past. Governor Cuomo 0:58:54.280 --> 0:58:58.320 seems like he's on this. You know, I believe strongly 0:58:58.360 --> 0:59:01.200 that you know, the Democrats, and you're seeing this from 0:59:01.280 --> 0:59:05.360 the Democrat executive leadership roles a lot more than seeing him. 0:59:05.360 --> 0:59:08.480 The legislators are all doing the Schumer Trump is terrible. 0:59:08.640 --> 0:59:11.520 He can't handle it. We're all gonna die because Trump. 0:59:11.560 --> 0:59:13.600 That's what Schumer is doing, which is disgusting. Same thing 0:59:13.600 --> 0:59:19.080 with Hippolo. If I was in charge, yeah, you're in charge, 0:59:19.080 --> 0:59:20.760 you'd have to wake you up from a Chardonnay nap. 0:59:20.840 --> 0:59:27.080 But Newsom seems like he's on it. Cuomo seems like 0:59:27.080 --> 0:59:31.200 he's on it, and I'm thankful about that. You know, 0:59:31.360 --> 0:59:33.560 I don't see them. I don't see them taking cheap shots. 0:59:33.600 --> 0:59:36.040 Maybe that'll it will change at some point, but I 0:59:36.360 --> 0:59:38.720 think while we're in the midst of this pandemic, you 0:59:38.760 --> 0:59:40.959 know they're they're on our side. They're on our team, 0:59:41.000 --> 0:59:43.360 and they're making that pretty clear from their public actions. 0:59:43.520 --> 0:59:45.520 Cuomo set up a drive through clinic just like South 0:59:45.600 --> 0:59:48.920 Korea has here in New York, and now they're prioritizing 0:59:48.920 --> 0:59:51.560 people from neuroshewe, which has been the hardest hit, and 0:59:51.560 --> 0:59:55.560 they're prioritizing anybody with symptoms over people that just think 0:59:55.600 --> 0:59:57.680 they may have been exposed. But we've got to drive 0:59:57.720 --> 1:00:00.280 through where you'll be able to go sample. You're in 1:00:00.320 --> 1:00:02.240 your car, you don't have to deal with anybody be 1:00:02.240 --> 1:00:04.480 exposed to anybody. That's the kind of stuff we need. 1:00:04.520 --> 1:00:07.880 We need ingenuity, We need people to be thinking outside 1:00:07.880 --> 1:00:10.240 the box to use the resources we have most effectively. 1:00:10.320 --> 1:00:12.480 And the CDC, I hate to say it got in 1:00:12.520 --> 1:00:16.120 the way of that. CDC slowed down, slowed down a 1:00:16.200 --> 1:00:18.600 lab in Washington State that wanted to start doing testing. 1:00:19.520 --> 1:00:24.840 Not good. The CDC slowed down. You know, the processing 1:00:24.840 --> 1:00:26.520 of this stuff. I mean, there's been a lot of 1:00:27.120 --> 1:00:29.560 there's been a lot of bureaucratic red tape at a 1:00:29.640 --> 1:00:32.760 time when man, we should be taking a chainsaw to 1:00:32.840 --> 1:00:34.920 red tape. And if there's ever a time where you 1:00:34.920 --> 1:00:37.680 could expect that government would finally wake up and be like, Okay, 1:00:37.720 --> 1:00:39.280 we just got to do what we need to do here. 1:00:41.000 --> 1:00:42.960 You know, I'm hoping that we have a vaccine in 1:00:42.960 --> 1:00:44.800 a year, and I mean I think that the press. Look, 1:00:44.960 --> 1:00:48.400 Trump is a guy who understands incentives. You know, we 1:00:48.400 --> 1:00:51.160 we should say, you know, whoever whoever gets a vaccine. 1:00:51.960 --> 1:00:54.120 I mean, would anybody I'm just gonna put this out there. 1:00:54.120 --> 1:00:55.919 I don't even know how the mechanism for this. People 1:00:55.960 --> 1:00:59.479 have talked about bounties for curing diseases before, but would 1:00:59.480 --> 1:01:02.560 anybody check to you know, whatever, you get to sell 1:01:02.640 --> 1:01:05.440 your vaccine and the government's going to reimburse you for that, fine, 1:01:05.800 --> 1:01:08.000 we should put a three or four or five billion 1:01:08.040 --> 1:01:10.760 dollar bounty on top of whoever cures this thing, whoever 1:01:10.760 --> 1:01:12.840 gets the cure and gets it done the fastest. I 1:01:12.880 --> 1:01:14.960 don't see why that's Think about how much money that 1:01:15.000 --> 1:01:18.400 would save the government. I mean, so it shouldn't. You know, 1:01:18.440 --> 1:01:20.600 the market is working here, but there's all these regulations 1:01:20.600 --> 1:01:22.560 and everything else. Maybe a little a little bit, a 1:01:22.600 --> 1:01:26.439 little bit of an extra incentive. I would be all 1:01:26.440 --> 1:01:29.440 for it, because remember, this is not this is like 1:01:29.440 --> 1:01:33.280 a foreign invasion. This is not standard market stuff. This 1:01:33.440 --> 1:01:36.040 goes beyond that, right. You know. It's kind of like 1:01:36.320 --> 1:01:39.320 if you see a marketplace that's operating, and you know, 1:01:39.360 --> 1:01:41.480 you want to have rules and contracts and people in 1:01:41.520 --> 1:01:43.560 free exchange and they can buy you're not buy into 1:01:43.600 --> 1:01:46.400 all these things. If somebody shows up with a flamethrower 1:01:46.440 --> 1:01:48.400 to let the whole market on fire, that's when the 1:01:48.400 --> 1:01:51.120 government has to step in, right, that's when you actually 1:01:51.120 --> 1:01:54.320 want something other than just like the free exchange of 1:01:54.360 --> 1:01:59.280 goods and services. And this virus is is like that flamethrower, 1:01:59.400 --> 1:02:01.160 and this virus is trying to just burn it all down. 1:02:01.680 --> 1:02:04.360 So we do need Now there's a role for government, 1:02:04.360 --> 1:02:06.560 there's a role for every individual, and there's a role 1:02:06.560 --> 1:02:10.040 for everything in between. And as I've been saying, you 1:02:10.080 --> 1:02:11.800 are responsible for your health. This is one thing that 1:02:11.840 --> 1:02:14.280 I've had to learn because I've had many frustrating experiences 1:02:14.280 --> 1:02:16.400 with the medical community. And some doctors who listen to 1:02:16.400 --> 1:02:18.320 the show have told me, you know that they think 1:02:18.360 --> 1:02:21.720 that that's that's not representative or whatever, and that's fine. 1:02:21.760 --> 1:02:23.800 I just can only speak from my own experience. I 1:02:23.840 --> 1:02:26.360 find that modern medicine can be great. It can also 1:02:26.400 --> 1:02:28.760 be really really disappointing because of the system we have, 1:02:28.800 --> 1:02:31.640 because of the incentive structure, because of healthcare the way 1:02:31.640 --> 1:02:34.720 it is, and you know, the bureaucratization of things. When 1:02:34.760 --> 1:02:36.640 we really need people who are allowed to heal and 1:02:36.680 --> 1:02:41.160 focus and work with people. So that's that's good to see. 1:02:41.160 --> 1:02:44.280 In New York. We have the localization of approaches, and 1:02:44.320 --> 1:02:46.520 this is where the federalist system we have the genius 1:02:46.560 --> 1:02:48.840 of that federalist system. The federal government's doing its thing, 1:02:49.400 --> 1:02:51.680 you know, has to put some funding in place, maybe 1:02:51.680 --> 1:02:54.160 some broad rules of the road, but every community should 1:02:54.160 --> 1:02:56.600 be coming up with what they do here. And we're 1:02:56.600 --> 1:02:58.560 also going to be learning. Some communities will do things 1:02:58.560 --> 1:03:01.720 that work, some won't. Those communities will will unfortunately pay 1:03:01.760 --> 1:03:04.600 a price based on those decisions. But that also allows 1:03:04.600 --> 1:03:07.240 other communities to say, whoa, Okay, so this place did 1:03:07.280 --> 1:03:09.920 this and that worked out pretty well. This other place didn't. 1:03:10.560 --> 1:03:13.760 And this is where everyone starts. Looking at the flu 1:03:13.880 --> 1:03:18.040 pandemic of nineteen eighteen Spanish flu, where I believe at 1:03:18.040 --> 1:03:21.520 the time Philadelphia and Saint Louis were the third and 1:03:21.600 --> 1:03:24.080 fourth largest cities in the country, respectively. I didn't realize 1:03:24.080 --> 1:03:27.040 Saint Louis was ever that big comparatively, but you know, 1:03:27.080 --> 1:03:29.800 I guess this is what this is what I've read, 1:03:29.840 --> 1:03:32.080 so I'm assuming it's right, and Philadelphia makes sense to me. 1:03:32.160 --> 1:03:35.000 But you didn't have the explosion of population on the 1:03:35.040 --> 1:03:38.120 West coast cities like California and I'm sorry, like San 1:03:38.120 --> 1:03:41.240 Francisco and Los Angeles until into the twenty you know, 1:03:41.320 --> 1:03:46.520 in the nineteen twenty nine, thirty forties. So Philadelphia did 1:03:46.560 --> 1:03:50.680 not take the kind of quarantine shutdown measures that we've seen, 1:03:51.480 --> 1:03:55.240 and Saint Louis did, and Saint Louis had a much 1:03:55.320 --> 1:03:57.840 better outcome from that flu than Philadelphia. Right, So you 1:03:57.880 --> 1:04:01.000 see that different cities make different decisions and that affect them. 1:04:01.080 --> 1:04:03.280 So the local has become very important. Now we've got 1:04:03.280 --> 1:04:05.520 to get to wuhan virus. And why do we call 1:04:05.560 --> 1:04:10.200 it that? You're in the freedom of hide it. This 1:04:10.320 --> 1:04:17.520 is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. The World Health Organization 1:04:17.680 --> 1:04:23.600 now has officially officially declared COVID nineteen a pandemic. Down 1:04:23.680 --> 1:04:27.840 Playing in being overly dismissed or spreading misinformation is only 1:04:27.840 --> 1:04:30.840 going to hurt us and further advantage the spread of 1:04:30.920 --> 1:04:33.760 the disease. But neither should repent it or fall back 1:04:33.760 --> 1:04:38.760 on xenophobia. Labeling COVID nineteen a foreign virus does not 1:04:39.080 --> 1:04:42.920 displace the accountability for the misjudgments that have been taken 1:04:43.240 --> 1:04:48.280 thus far by the Trump administration, so maybe crystal clear. 1:04:49.720 --> 1:04:54.760 The coronavirus does not have a political affiliation, will infect Republicans, 1:04:54.760 --> 1:04:58.760 independence and democrats of life. Will not discriminate based on 1:04:58.880 --> 1:05:04.320 national origin, race, gender, or zip code. We'll touch people 1:05:04.320 --> 1:05:07.640 and physicians of power as well as most vulnerable in 1:05:07.640 --> 1:05:12.160 our society. You will not stuff rady at all. Travel 1:05:12.200 --> 1:05:14.000 from Europe or in it a part of the world 1:05:14.520 --> 1:05:17.919 may slow it, but as we've seen, it will not 1:05:18.360 --> 1:05:23.360 suffer the traveler restriction is based on favoritism and politics. Rather, 1:05:23.600 --> 1:05:31.800 risk will be counterproductive. Joe Biden is not a strategic mind. Yeah, 1:05:31.880 --> 1:05:34.240 and so I'm trying to avoid that. He's a blundering 1:05:34.280 --> 1:05:36.919 buffoon and a moron who is corrupting all that stuff. Today. 1:05:36.920 --> 1:05:38.600 There'll be other days where I say that more openly 1:05:38.640 --> 1:05:41.640 because I think that that's all true. But Joe, Joe 1:05:41.640 --> 1:05:43.160 Biden is not somebody that I think we should listen 1:05:43.200 --> 1:05:46.680 to on this at all. And also there's a lot 1:05:46.680 --> 1:05:48.680 that he says there he's trying to do the travel restrictions, 1:05:48.680 --> 1:05:50.480 he's basically saying this isn't political, and then he tries 1:05:50.520 --> 1:05:52.520 to take all these political shots at the administration as 1:05:52.520 --> 1:05:55.680 though we're not clever enough to figure that out. But 1:05:55.840 --> 1:06:02.320 when he says that coronavirus, see, I just did it. 1:06:02.800 --> 1:06:06.200 COVID nineteen as he calls it, has no nationality, or 1:06:06.440 --> 1:06:10.800 we shouldn't fall victims of xenophobia. That is Chinese propaganda 1:06:10.880 --> 1:06:13.880 right now from the Chinese government. In fact, the Chinese 1:06:13.880 --> 1:06:17.920 government has already produced a book that they're distributing, and 1:06:17.920 --> 1:06:20.320 I believe they've already translated in different languages. Fox Knew 1:06:20.440 --> 1:06:23.520 has a story about this that Americas are sponsible for this, 1:06:23.560 --> 1:06:26.760 and maybe America even did this on purpose. They're telling 1:06:26.760 --> 1:06:29.600 the Chinese people this. Now, a lot of the more 1:06:29.600 --> 1:06:33.080 sophisticated Chinese news consumers are going to be like, come on, 1:06:33.200 --> 1:06:35.280 this is more of the Communist Party. But a lot 1:06:35.360 --> 1:06:37.600 of them won't. A lot of them will think that 1:06:37.640 --> 1:06:41.760 maybe they've been through this horrible scenario because of nefarious 1:06:41.840 --> 1:06:45.760 American activity. My friends, Trump is the first president to 1:06:45.800 --> 1:06:48.240 realize what we're really dealing with when it comes to 1:06:48.320 --> 1:06:51.280 China and the confrontation that looms on the horizon here 1:06:51.560 --> 1:06:55.760 of two superpowers, it's us and them, and they want 1:06:55.760 --> 1:06:57.760 to be number one. They want to be the hedgemon. 1:06:58.400 --> 1:07:00.720 That's very clear from everybody who's paying attention to what's 1:07:00.720 --> 1:07:03.400 going on in that country. And I even said when 1:07:03.400 --> 1:07:05.000 I was there, I'm talking to people who are in 1:07:05.040 --> 1:07:07.400 the business community in China. There's been a shift from 1:07:07.640 --> 1:07:13.440 the Chinese culturally, politically, and from a just a news 1:07:13.440 --> 1:07:17.560 consumer perspective thinking America's great. American markets are all some 1:07:17.720 --> 1:07:20.760 American Coca Cola is delicious and McDonald's is wonderful and 1:07:20.800 --> 1:07:23.440 all that kind of stuff that we've all the globalization 1:07:23.560 --> 1:07:26.520 who look at this too. Now, we're better than America. 1:07:26.560 --> 1:07:28.720 They're kind of lazy, they're kind of slow, and we're 1:07:28.720 --> 1:07:32.280 going to defeat them, and we're rivals, and in fact, 1:07:32.320 --> 1:07:34.440 we're better than they are. There's been a shift in 1:07:34.480 --> 1:07:38.560 their thinking, and the Chinese Communist Party knows this, and 1:07:38.600 --> 1:07:40.040 they're also going to have to deal with a lot 1:07:40.040 --> 1:07:42.440 of economic displacement in their own country. A lot of 1:07:42.440 --> 1:07:47.840 people are upset, and totalitarian regimes know that the narrative 1:07:47.920 --> 1:07:49.600 that they even if they have to force it down 1:07:49.600 --> 1:07:53.880 people's throats, the narrative of regime self preservation is very important, 1:07:54.760 --> 1:07:57.120 and we are going to see that continue to be 1:07:58.280 --> 1:08:00.360 an issue here. We're going to see them try to 1:08:00.400 --> 1:08:03.160 convince their own population and as much as the rest 1:08:03.200 --> 1:08:05.240 of the world as they can that this is an 1:08:05.280 --> 1:08:10.440 American problem. No, this came from China. China lied about it. 1:08:10.480 --> 1:08:13.840 Because China lied about it, there was much more global spread. 1:08:14.120 --> 1:08:16.640 People in Italy got this. There's a large influx of 1:08:16.640 --> 1:08:18.439 tourists from China to Italy. Italy is one of the 1:08:18.479 --> 1:08:21.360 great tourist destinations, of course for the whole world. But 1:08:21.560 --> 1:08:26.640 you know, they the Chinese government's lack of transparency on 1:08:26.680 --> 1:08:30.120 this issue had real consequences for other countries and they're 1:08:30.160 --> 1:08:33.400 now trying to displace that unto us, and that's unacceptable. 1:08:33.920 --> 1:08:37.240 This is the Wuhan virus comes from Wuhan City, China. 1:08:37.479 --> 1:08:40.200 That is what happened, and whether it escaped from a 1:08:40.280 --> 1:08:42.720 virology lab which is which is I wouldn't say it's 1:08:42.720 --> 1:08:46.760 a conspiracy, it's a theory. It's happened before. So people say, oh, 1:08:46.800 --> 1:08:48.920 that would never happen. Well, they've lost other viruses that 1:08:48.920 --> 1:08:50.920 have gotten to the general population. They just didn't happen 1:08:50.920 --> 1:08:55.639 to be as bad as this one. But it probably 1:08:55.680 --> 1:08:58.160 came from the animal trade there. As I said, there's 1:08:58.200 --> 1:09:03.320 I think they called zoo nah transmission between different animals, 1:09:03.360 --> 1:09:07.240 did different species and you know, maybe China need not 1:09:07.280 --> 1:09:10.400 allow people to eat like rare and endangered and bizarre 1:09:10.439 --> 1:09:13.080 animals as a regular practice. You know, we do have 1:09:13.160 --> 1:09:15.280 laws here that you know, you can't you can't keep 1:09:15.360 --> 1:09:18.719 livestock within city limits. There are reasons for that, because 1:09:18.720 --> 1:09:21.000 we don't want people, you know, living next to pig 1:09:21.040 --> 1:09:23.519 pens and goat farms and all these things in very 1:09:23.600 --> 1:09:27.360 very close quarters for reasons like this. And if you 1:09:27.600 --> 1:09:32.960 look at the way Chinese animal husbandry takes place, or 1:09:33.000 --> 1:09:37.120 you know, with livestock, the way that they proximity to 1:09:37.160 --> 1:09:42.120 livestock and the sanitary conditions. Chinese have a huge livestock 1:09:42.160 --> 1:09:45.920 industry and particularly pork pigs. That's why they're very upset 1:09:45.920 --> 1:09:48.639 about the swine flu epidemic the last time around, because 1:09:48.640 --> 1:09:53.679 it had really affected their their pork industry, and that 1:09:54.400 --> 1:09:55.800 is something that China doesn't want to have to deal 1:09:55.800 --> 1:09:57.720 with or be held to account for. But you know, 1:09:57.880 --> 1:10:00.640 Chinese practices when it comes to the senate conditions of 1:10:00.640 --> 1:10:04.040 their livestock industry, Chinese pollution, these are issues that affect 1:10:04.080 --> 1:10:06.559 the whole world, and China is not a good neighbor 1:10:06.560 --> 1:10:09.280 on this stuff at all. It's the opposite and that's 1:10:09.360 --> 1:10:12.720 really where you're going to see this conflict, this continued 1:10:12.760 --> 1:10:16.519 friction playout in public. And that's why we call it 1:10:16.600 --> 1:10:19.439 the Wuhan virus, because that is what it is. It 1:10:19.720 --> 1:10:22.120 is a virus from Wuhan. We are now Producer Mark 1:10:22.200 --> 1:10:25.320 and I are thinking about how we get home safe 1:10:25.479 --> 1:10:27.880 from the center of New York City and what's going 1:10:27.920 --> 1:10:29.200 to happen to our loved ones, and what's going to 1:10:29.240 --> 1:10:30.760 happen to our city, and what's gonna happen to our 1:10:30.760 --> 1:10:34.000 country and to our fellow Americans. Because of what happened 1:10:34.040 --> 1:10:36.640 in China and the way that Chinese government did not 1:10:37.160 --> 1:10:43.639 respond openly and with an eye toward humanitarianism and people first. 1:10:44.680 --> 1:10:46.800 We now we are sitting here in New York City, 1:10:46.840 --> 1:10:51.559 and because of what happened in Wuhan City, China, and 1:10:51.640 --> 1:10:54.599 the way the authorities reacted to what happened there, that's 1:10:54.600 --> 1:10:56.479 affecting all of our lives. It's affecting the lives of 1:10:56.479 --> 1:10:58.000 every single one of you who's listening to this. I 1:10:58.000 --> 1:11:00.080 know you're all making the same decisions, you all the 1:11:00.200 --> 1:11:04.080 same concerns, and you know we're standing here just waiting 1:11:04.520 --> 1:11:07.080 to see are we you know, are we faced with 1:11:07.160 --> 1:11:09.960 an onslaught or are we going to be able to 1:11:10.000 --> 1:11:15.120 turn back the tide? You know? And this is well, well, 1:11:14.880 --> 1:11:16.640 well we'll have to see. I think next week is 1:11:16.680 --> 1:11:19.320 going to be tough.

Great to have you on. 1:12:05.120 --> 1:12:06.840 It is good to be here. I don't know if 1:12:06.880 --> 1:12:09.720 everybody's going to appreciate my wisdom because I have a 1:12:09.720 --> 1:12:11.840 little different take on everything that's going on now than 1:12:11.880 --> 1:12:14.200 everyone else, but I'm giving it anyway. Well that's what 1:12:14.240 --> 1:12:16.360 we're here for man. We know that we can go unfiltered, 1:12:16.400 --> 1:12:20.000 uncensored with Jesse Kelly, especially if we're taping it, because 1:12:20.040 --> 1:12:22.000 then we can bleep out anything we have to, so, 1:12:22.640 --> 1:12:26.320 which is always a smart move I found out. So, dude, 1:12:26.320 --> 1:12:28.960 I'll tell you this. You know my brother. I've got 1:12:29.000 --> 1:12:31.200 two brothers. They're They're the greatest dudes in the world. 1:12:31.200 --> 1:12:32.920 You'd want them in your foxhole, you'd want them at 1:12:32.920 --> 1:12:35.760 your party, Like, they're great guys. My brother last night 1:12:35.840 --> 1:12:39.719 was at a Whole Foods here and he's like, I wonder, 1:12:39.800 --> 1:12:41.200 and you know, he texted me, He's like, I wonder 1:12:41.240 --> 1:12:42.920 what it's going to be like in there, and he 1:12:43.000 --> 1:12:44.360 kind of it was kind of like that scene in 1:12:44.360 --> 1:12:46.320 a movie where he walks in and it's like, oh, 1:12:46.439 --> 1:12:49.080 that's very quiet. It's kind of civilized. And then he 1:12:49.160 --> 1:12:51.920 turned a corner and he started sending me photos in 1:12:51.960 --> 1:12:56.080 real time. Empty shelf, empty shelf, empty shelf. Oh there's 1:12:56.080 --> 1:13:01.439 the vegan section totally full, empty shelf, empty shelf. Like, well, 1:13:01.720 --> 1:13:03.559 what's it like down in Texas right now? Are people 1:13:03.560 --> 1:13:07.240 panic buying like that? No? No, And this is interesting. 1:13:07.240 --> 1:13:11.120 I had a conversation with somebody from Pennsylvania. Somebody who lives, 1:13:11.200 --> 1:13:13.479 you know, not rural, but I mean certainly not the 1:13:13.640 --> 1:13:16.920 city Pennsylvania. And I asked, hey, what's it like there 1:13:16.720 --> 1:13:20.080 are are the shells empty or people panicking? And this 1:13:20.120 --> 1:13:23.439 person told the point blank, they said no. They said 1:13:23.439 --> 1:13:26.560 they think all this panic everyone else is doing is ridiculous. 1:13:26.760 --> 1:13:31.360 Everybody's going about their lives relatively normally. And yesterday I 1:13:31.400 --> 1:13:33.840 went to an arcade. I took my sons to an arcade, 1:13:33.840 --> 1:13:36.719 which arcades are sweet. Now, by the way, I highly recommended. 1:13:36.720 --> 1:13:39.559 I haven't done that forever. Took my sons to an arcade, 1:13:39.760 --> 1:13:42.360 went to a gym, went to a restaurant, went to 1:13:42.439 --> 1:13:46.160 a grocery store, all of them I frequent regularly. The 1:13:46.160 --> 1:13:49.000 crowds were just as fact as normal. It's as if 1:13:49.080 --> 1:13:52.280 nothing has changed down here. And frankly, I love it. 1:13:52.400 --> 1:13:56.080 I think this a panic is absurd for a virus 1:13:56.160 --> 1:14:01.200 that is almost completely safe for people who are old 1:14:01.240 --> 1:14:03.960 and sick. Now, if you work with somebody who's board 1:14:04.000 --> 1:14:06.800 and sick, you need to take extra precautions. If you're 1:14:06.840 --> 1:14:09.479 not somebody who's like that, guest, wash your hands more. 1:14:09.920 --> 1:14:13.000 But this hoarding things, as if this is the black 1:14:13.080 --> 1:14:17.080 death Part two is the most ab third public planic 1:14:17.400 --> 1:14:20.400 I've ever seen in my entire life, even if I 1:14:20.479 --> 1:14:24.200 had stot like yoga tested, because the virus isn't even dangerous. 1:14:24.800 --> 1:14:27.599 I gotta tell you. I remember, it wasn't Hurricane Sandy, 1:14:27.680 --> 1:14:30.360 which did hit New York really really badly. There was 1:14:30.400 --> 1:14:34.559 a hurricane before Hurricane warning before that, maybe a couple 1:14:34.560 --> 1:14:36.240 of years, and I don't even remember what it was called, 1:14:36.439 --> 1:14:40.000 but I do remember that I had friends who were 1:14:40.160 --> 1:14:42.320 acting on the sort of you know, the advice of 1:14:42.360 --> 1:14:44.880 the city and stuff, you know, in the middle of Manhattan, 1:14:44.960 --> 1:14:48.000 who were filling their bathtubs so that they could have 1:14:48.040 --> 1:14:50.960 access to fresh water. And then when the storm actually came, 1:14:51.040 --> 1:14:53.280 it was it was nothing. It was like some high 1:14:53.280 --> 1:14:56.559 wind and that was one of these times, and we 1:14:56.600 --> 1:14:58.919 had all been told, you know, and the whole Foods 1:14:59.520 --> 1:15:03.280 was it was like, you know, boogie fight night, man. 1:15:03.320 --> 1:15:05.439 I mean, people were in each other's faces. I went 1:15:05.479 --> 1:15:08.120 to one, everybody was stocking off. They're all, you know, 1:15:08.320 --> 1:15:11.040 really really freaked out. You know, I'm out of the 1:15:11.080 --> 1:15:12.439 mine because I'm here in New York, and I think 1:15:12.439 --> 1:15:14.240 you got to take this thing seriously. I also agree 1:15:14.240 --> 1:15:16.240 with you about the highrist population issue. And you know, 1:15:16.360 --> 1:15:18.479 especially if someone like cares for their parents and their 1:15:18.479 --> 1:15:20.640 parents are in their sixteen seventies or eighties, like you know, 1:15:20.720 --> 1:15:24.280 that's a different situation. But the hoarding of food and 1:15:24.360 --> 1:15:26.360 particularly the hoarding of toilet paper, I mean, there's I 1:15:26.400 --> 1:15:29.120 just saw a tweet before where there I don't even 1:15:29.200 --> 1:15:31.360 where where Summerlin. I don't even know Whereummerlin is. And 1:15:31.400 --> 1:15:33.240 this is like, I know more about mid East geography 1:15:33.280 --> 1:15:35.840 than American geography, but they say there's like a three 1:15:35.880 --> 1:15:38.760 hour line to get into the Costco just to get in, 1:15:38.880 --> 1:15:43.120 never mind to get out. And think about that level 1:15:43.160 --> 1:15:47.320 of panic buck for something that has killed forty people 1:15:47.680 --> 1:15:51.120 in over twenty of those people were from the exact 1:15:51.200 --> 1:15:55.400 same nursing home in the state of Washington. Again, I 1:15:55.439 --> 1:15:58.240 am not saying this thing is nothing. It's not nothing. 1:15:58.439 --> 1:16:01.680 It is serious. It's spread like wildfire. If you were 1:16:01.720 --> 1:16:05.920 old with heart and learn problems, it is dangerous, extremely 1:16:06.000 --> 1:16:09.880 for you. For everyone else, including children, There is no 1:16:10.000 --> 1:16:13.240 indication this thing is in any way dangerous. In fact, 1:16:13.280 --> 1:16:15.880 all the numbers come to the fact the regular flu 1:16:16.240 --> 1:16:19.320 is more dangerous for you and me and kids than 1:16:20.320 --> 1:16:24.680 this bugan flu and people are lining up at Tosco 1:16:24.840 --> 1:16:27.360 stocking up at torn toilet paper like they're going to 1:16:27.439 --> 1:16:29.720 crap themselves to death. I find that to be the 1:16:29.760 --> 1:16:32.000 most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of my life. Yeah, 1:16:32.040 --> 1:16:34.240 I Summerland, by the way, is in Nevada. I didn't know. 1:16:34.280 --> 1:16:36.479 I just learned something new, a little little American geography 1:16:36.560 --> 1:16:38.439 lesson for the buckster in real time, because like, I 1:16:38.479 --> 1:16:40.479 can't say things like that on air and not correct myself. 1:16:40.479 --> 1:16:43.040 I gotta know where everything is. Although whatever, we're not 1:16:43.080 --> 1:16:46.200 on radio in Summerland, So work on that, Summerland, work 1:16:46.200 --> 1:16:48.519 on it. But ye know, I gotta tell you, man, 1:16:48.680 --> 1:16:51.160 I think that next week we're really going to see 1:16:51.880 --> 1:16:54.680 and I'm gonna put this out there. I am hoping 1:16:55.680 --> 1:16:57.760 that I'm not preparing for this to be the case 1:16:57.800 --> 1:16:59.880 because I think that it would be. But but there's 1:16:59.880 --> 1:17:02.200 a part of me that that hopes that really this 1:17:02.320 --> 1:17:06.559 has been you know that it's like twenty or thirty percent. 1:17:07.240 --> 1:17:09.640 The anxiety and the fear and the actions were all 1:17:09.680 --> 1:17:12.360 taking are completely warrant because I think there is there 1:17:12.479 --> 1:17:14.120 is reason to do stuff and to get ready for this, 1:17:14.280 --> 1:17:17.920 no question, But I'm hoping that this has been magnified 1:17:18.000 --> 1:17:20.120 substantially by the media, to the point where within a 1:17:20.120 --> 1:17:22.800 couple of weeks we'll be able to turn around and say, Wow, 1:17:22.800 --> 1:17:25.439 they really were doing this because Orange man bad and 1:17:25.479 --> 1:17:28.120 they hate Trump at some level. Not it's not entirely, 1:17:28.120 --> 1:17:30.120 but I think that they've I think that there's been 1:17:30.520 --> 1:17:34.559 a desire to exaggerate and exacerbate so that they can 1:17:34.720 --> 1:17:37.679 they can hurt people, or they can make fear worse 1:17:37.720 --> 1:17:40.439 than it would otherwise be based on the facts. Oh, 1:17:40.479 --> 1:17:43.040 no question, there's such some of that. Now. I'm actually 1:17:43.120 --> 1:17:45.000 not going to act like that's all. But because the 1:17:45.040 --> 1:17:47.800 truth is what it toasted diseases, they have a way 1:17:47.800 --> 1:17:50.759 of scaring the public in the way that other things don't. 1:17:50.880 --> 1:17:54.479 I mean that the disease is one of those natural 1:17:54.640 --> 1:17:57.280 human spears because you can't see it. I mean you 1:17:57.360 --> 1:17:58.960 canl you know, is all of a sudden you get 1:17:59.040 --> 1:18:01.680 in your dad. So it's it's something people are scared of. 1:18:01.840 --> 1:18:04.880 But the shoe as the matter is whose sight of 1:18:04.920 --> 1:18:07.559 the working man too? I mean everyone's talking about, oh, 1:18:07.600 --> 1:18:10.040 I can't feel out my much madness practice because they're 1:18:10.080 --> 1:18:13.040 canceling all these you know, sports, They just canceled the Masters. 1:18:13.320 --> 1:18:16.160 And maybe that's stuffs Warreth and maybe it's not, but 1:18:16.240 --> 1:18:19.479 it's not about the players in, the millionaires and the owners, 1:18:19.760 --> 1:18:22.200 the people. Take a step back and think about how 1:18:22.240 --> 1:18:27.120 many people's livelihoods depended on I've been talking regularly hour 1:18:27.240 --> 1:18:30.240 They working people depend on these events going off, and 1:18:30.320 --> 1:18:34.000 without a second thought, everybody's just closing everything down. Well, 1:18:34.040 --> 1:18:37.439 that's fine for the millionaires, also, Tiger, what's gonna be fine? 1:18:37.680 --> 1:18:40.559 What about the families that make their entire living, all 1:18:40.600 --> 1:18:43.479 their profit off the Master's going off in a gusing 1:18:43.600 --> 1:18:46.280 it's gone now. I mean, I'm not saying there's no 1:18:46.360 --> 1:18:49.599 reason to close anything, but let's not just close everything 1:18:49.680 --> 1:18:53.760 really knilling because but that really affects working people. Yeah, 1:18:53.880 --> 1:18:57.680 I worry about the economic implications of this because you know, 1:18:57.680 --> 1:19:00.720 there's some people who you know, like, we're continue to work, right, 1:19:00.760 --> 1:19:03.720 and we're doing what we do, But there are some 1:19:03.760 --> 1:19:06.559 people and we're affected too, because what keeps us on 1:19:06.600 --> 1:19:09.240 the air? Right? Sponsors? What do sponsors do? They sell 1:19:09.280 --> 1:19:13.200 products to the public. So if people are not buying, Fortunately, 1:19:13.240 --> 1:19:15.640 a lot of our sponsors you can buy online or 1:19:15.680 --> 1:19:17.200 you go online, right, I mean not all of them, 1:19:17.200 --> 1:19:18.920 but a lot of them, that's the case, but it 1:19:18.960 --> 1:19:21.960 affects everybody economically. I mean, our forum. Looking at your 1:19:21.960 --> 1:19:24.240 form on K right now is just like a form 1:19:24.240 --> 1:19:26.519 of self torture. It's just a bad idea. Don't touch it, 1:19:26.560 --> 1:19:28.439 don't look at it. Come back to me any right, 1:19:28.520 --> 1:19:30.400 come back in a year or six months, at least 1:19:30.400 --> 1:19:33.479 maybe a year, and see how you're doing then. And 1:19:33.600 --> 1:19:34.720 by the way, it might be long in that, it 1:19:34.720 --> 1:19:37.400 could be two years, but anyway, but Jesse, I just 1:19:37.400 --> 1:19:39.800 want to know if you do have to engage in 1:19:39.880 --> 1:19:42.080 some self distancing, which it sounds like you're not going to. 1:19:42.600 --> 1:19:45.920 What is the Kelly families like self distancing pastimes? What 1:19:45.960 --> 1:19:49.559 do you guys do exactly what we did this morning? 1:19:49.960 --> 1:19:52.679 Right now, I'm actually letting my voice places video games. 1:19:52.720 --> 1:19:55.000 We spend the last hour out of the public hard 1:19:55.000 --> 1:19:58.160 plays basketball, and we're just going to continue to live 1:19:58.200 --> 1:20:00.120 our lives. And if I have to continue of the 1:20:00.200 --> 1:20:02.720 Jesse Kelly Show from my living room, thenk you guys 1:20:02.720 --> 1:20:05.400 are gonna see me in my pajamas and they're pretty 1:20:05.479 --> 1:20:08.720 risk let me tell you. There we go manum By 1:20:08.760 --> 1:20:14.240 the way, speaking of risk a, yeah, you know where 1:20:14.280 --> 1:20:17.880 this is going. So mister Jesse Kelly, you are well 1:20:17.960 --> 1:20:23.040 known for making jokes that make many of us, including me, laugh, 1:20:23.439 --> 1:20:25.000 But they're the kind of jokes that many of us 1:20:25.080 --> 1:20:26.760 are like, I don't know, like I would always be, 1:20:26.920 --> 1:20:29.040 by the way. I actually got a trouble once just 1:20:29.120 --> 1:20:33.559 for responding to one of your jokes. So that's speaking 1:20:33.600 --> 1:20:36.840 of contagion. There's Jesse Kelly humor contagion. If you just 1:20:36.880 --> 1:20:39.599 respond to a Jesse Kelly jokes, the wokeness will come 1:20:39.600 --> 1:20:42.719 after you. They're like, how dare you? It's Jesse might so. 1:20:43.400 --> 1:20:47.360 Jesse's tweet was the follow The was the following hold 1:20:47.360 --> 1:20:50.799 on a second. In response to the the NCAA Men's 1:20:50.800 --> 1:20:53.360 and Women's tournaments will be held without fans and only 1:20:53.439 --> 1:20:57.320 essential staff and limited family and attendance, Jesse wrote, quote 1:20:57.360 --> 1:20:59.519 with a heavy heart, I must announce that nobody will 1:20:59.560 --> 1:21:03.400 attend the NCAA Women's basketball Tournament for the fortieth consecutive year. 1:21:03.760 --> 1:21:07.720 End quote Jesse, what has the response to this tweet been? Like? 1:21:08.640 --> 1:21:16.360 It's been an endless brage of esp female ESPN personalities, 1:21:16.600 --> 1:21:21.639 w NBA players in every local hack radio, White Knight 1:21:22.040 --> 1:21:25.040 trying to trying to try to school me on behalf 1:21:25.040 --> 1:21:28.599 of the local women's team'll trying to tell me how 1:21:28.680 --> 1:21:34.080 wonderful women's basketball is. That women's basketball sucks, and everybody 1:21:34.120 --> 1:21:36.559 knows women's basketball sucks. And it's not like I have 1:21:36.560 --> 1:21:39.800 anything against women playing, and I think that's great. It's 1:21:39.880 --> 1:21:42.679 everybody in good shape and looking good, and that's really important. 1:21:42.920 --> 1:21:47.560 But my thing is, don't don't insist that I acknowledge 1:21:47.600 --> 1:21:51.200 something is enjoyable to watch when it's not. You brought 1:21:51.240 --> 1:21:53.639 up women's tennis and we were talking earlier, like you said, 1:21:53.640 --> 1:21:57.360 that's the good promist. Women's basketball. Basketball itself is such 1:21:57.400 --> 1:22:00.920 an athletic game, it's running. It's m if people watch 1:22:00.960 --> 1:22:05.000 sports to see things that they can't do that they 1:22:05.000 --> 1:22:07.400 don't feel like they would be able to do. And 1:22:07.479 --> 1:22:09.880 the truth of the matter, as women's basketball is boring 1:22:09.960 --> 1:22:13.400 because women aren't as physically athletic as men. That's not 1:22:13.439 --> 1:22:17.320 even close to being controversial. That's a fact. The truth is, 1:22:17.360 --> 1:22:20.160 the average high school player or the best player in 1:22:20.280 --> 1:22:24.840 the WNBA couldn't make the top forty high school basketball 1:22:24.880 --> 1:22:27.080 men's teams in this country. And that's a fact. That's 1:22:27.120 --> 1:22:30.519 just a fact. It's a sport about that fleticism. But 1:22:30.640 --> 1:22:32.920 they yeah, so I want to ask you why do 1:22:32.960 --> 1:22:35.200 all these people then, especially those who make a living 1:22:35.479 --> 1:22:38.120 commenting on sports. I mean we did when we were 1:22:38.120 --> 1:22:41.040 talking right before, you know, right in the break. You know, 1:22:41.120 --> 1:22:43.200 I'm I'm an avid tennis player. I love tennis. I've 1:22:43.200 --> 1:22:45.839 been playing my whole life. Women's tennis is a great product. 1:22:45.840 --> 1:22:48.600 I mean, and those women, by the way, would beat 1:22:48.840 --> 1:22:52.719 ninety nine point you know, at the professional level, they'd 1:22:52.720 --> 1:22:55.800 beat anybody who wasn't at least a men's D one 1:22:55.840 --> 1:22:58.479 college level player or any female on the tour. And 1:22:58.479 --> 1:23:00.400 those are guys who are really really good at tennis. 1:23:00.560 --> 1:23:02.680 And there are even some women like Serena Williams who 1:23:02.720 --> 1:23:04.920 would be pretty much all the you know, D one 1:23:04.960 --> 1:23:07.439 tennis player guys and could probably beat up to the 1:23:07.439 --> 1:23:09.920 top one hundred or so of men on the tour. 1:23:10.040 --> 1:23:12.320 So there's just this, it's a different sport. There's greater 1:23:12.360 --> 1:23:15.439 parody because, as you point out, you know, it's not 1:23:15.520 --> 1:23:19.280 just you know, there's not quite the same focus on size, speed, strength. 1:23:20.640 --> 1:23:23.320 Why is it that people get so upset whenever I mean, 1:23:23.360 --> 1:23:26.160 like I you know, I think the WNBA is a 1:23:26.200 --> 1:23:28.519 boring product to watch too. Why can't I say it's 1:23:28.520 --> 1:23:31.080 just an opinion about an entertainment, Like why can't I 1:23:31.080 --> 1:23:32.679 say if I don't like a movie, I can say 1:23:32.720 --> 1:23:34.400 that why we although you can if with the all 1:23:34.439 --> 1:23:36.519 female Ghostbusters, which I guess is kind of answering my 1:23:36.520 --> 1:23:39.400 own question here, why can't you say w NBA is boring? Jesse? 1:23:40.320 --> 1:23:43.400 Here's why this actually points to a larger societal problem. 1:23:43.760 --> 1:23:47.800 We have watched the leftist, the social justice warriors completely 1:23:48.080 --> 1:23:51.240 reorder society and they've been successful. It's not like they're trying. 1:23:51.280 --> 1:23:54.840 They've done it. They've completely reordered society, and they've done 1:23:54.840 --> 1:23:57.600 it in such a way to where what's up is 1:23:57.640 --> 1:24:00.519 now down, what's left is now right. And you are 1:24:00.560 --> 1:24:04.080 not allowed to say the sky is blue anymore. If 1:24:04.120 --> 1:24:07.240 they decide that women's basketball is just as good as 1:24:07.280 --> 1:24:10.320 the men, then you're not allowed to say otherwise blueist 1:24:10.360 --> 1:24:12.639 they decide that the sky is green and the sky 1:24:13.360 --> 1:24:15.800 and the sky is green, and if you dare to 1:24:15.840 --> 1:24:19.040 step up and say the sky is blue, they will 1:24:19.120 --> 1:24:22.520 try to bully you and shut you up from acknowledging 1:24:22.560 --> 1:24:25.599 the simple fact that everybody else on earth can see. 1:24:25.640 --> 1:24:27.840 And it's why I always win when I can in 1:24:27.920 --> 1:24:30.240 these little dust stuffs with them because in the end, 1:24:30.520 --> 1:24:32.880 I'm right, yeah, you know, I mean on this one, 1:24:34.080 --> 1:24:39.719 I saw your apology, to which I appreciated, but you know, look, 1:24:39.840 --> 1:24:41.880 I mean if and also, by the way, I'm not 1:24:41.920 --> 1:24:44.560 telling anybody don't watch the w NBA, you know, or 1:24:44.600 --> 1:24:46.640 you can't watch a great if someone really enjoys it. 1:24:46.680 --> 1:24:48.720 But you and I both know, like the people who 1:24:48.800 --> 1:24:53.920 enjoy women's professional basketball are either women who play basketball 1:24:53.960 --> 1:24:56.240 a lot or people who have family members who are 1:24:56.240 --> 1:24:58.960 like playing in college or something like that. And the 1:24:59.080 --> 1:25:01.120 stands are pretty empty and a lot of those games. 1:25:01.120 --> 1:25:03.320 And I also think that people like take their daughters 1:25:03.360 --> 1:25:05.680 to it because it's become this like parents will take 1:25:05.680 --> 1:25:08.200 their daughters in these WMBA because it's become this kind 1:25:08.200 --> 1:25:11.599 of girl power thing, which I don't really understand why 1:25:11.640 --> 1:25:13.120 they wouldn't do that with other Well they don't do 1:25:13.160 --> 1:25:16.200 that with other sports. Oh, there's no question. And there's 1:25:16.320 --> 1:25:21.320 more towards basketball basketball even the basketball has always been 1:25:21.360 --> 1:25:23.840 a little bit more woke if you will, then the 1:25:23.880 --> 1:25:27.000 other sports. So there's this real I am woman hear 1:25:27.040 --> 1:25:29.880 me roars to it, and like you said, look, if 1:25:29.880 --> 1:25:32.160 you want to go to a w NBA game.

And I know that it's like I'm supposed 1:26:48.680 --> 1:26:49.720 to be like kind of a manly thing for a 1:26:49.760 --> 1:26:52.160 lot of people, a handshake. And you know, also when 1:26:52.200 --> 1:26:53.800 people in the past, I mean, I give a normal 1:26:53.800 --> 1:26:55.360 I don't. I don't do like a you know, a 1:26:56.400 --> 1:26:59.880 weekend shake. But people that like squeeze my hand aggressive, 1:27:00.320 --> 1:27:03.120 I'm like, okay, do you wanna do you want to 1:27:03.160 --> 1:27:05.360 see who can punch harder? Like, why are you trying 1:27:05.400 --> 1:27:08.080 to make my hand uncomfortable? I don't. I don't like it. 1:27:08.280 --> 1:27:11.120 I've never been somebody that you know is a big 1:27:11.160 --> 1:27:13.000 hand I know it is a handshake deal, and there's 1:27:13.040 --> 1:27:14.880 all this stuff out there. I'm not a big handshake person, 1:27:14.960 --> 1:27:17.880 never really have been. Um, So we'll have to and 1:27:18.600 --> 1:27:22.040 it does in moments like this, you gotta ask yourself 1:27:22.439 --> 1:27:24.519 what are we doing here? Well? Why why would we 1:27:24.600 --> 1:27:28.280 continue to have handshakes? Elbow touching is bizarre, obviously. I 1:27:28.320 --> 1:27:30.559 think I think some form of you know, if you want, 1:27:30.600 --> 1:27:32.599 some form of salute would be fine. I think if 1:27:32.600 --> 1:27:33.920 you want to be a little more form a little 1:27:34.000 --> 1:27:36.800 more respectful, um, that that would make sense to me. 1:27:36.840 --> 1:27:38.960 I think if every walked around kind of giving a salute. 1:27:39.120 --> 1:27:40.640 I you know, it's the same reason I like to 1:27:40.640 --> 1:27:43.040 call everyone sir and mam until I know you you're 1:27:43.080 --> 1:27:45.120 sir and mam. I feel like I even call Producer 1:27:45.160 --> 1:27:47.599 Mark sometimes sir, just because you know it's Producer Mark, 1:27:47.600 --> 1:27:49.920 and if I don't, he'll get surly. So you know, 1:27:50.560 --> 1:27:54.840 you got to be able to adapt under the circumstances here, um. 1:27:54.840 --> 1:27:57.320 And I think that making sure that you don't have 1:27:57.360 --> 1:28:00.840 to shake everybody's hand. And it's also you know, look 1:28:01.280 --> 1:28:03.000 a lot of people you see when you're in like 1:28:03.040 --> 1:28:05.640 the airport restaurom and you see people coming out of 1:28:05.680 --> 1:28:10.439 there hand washing reminders that we're seeing right now. It's 1:28:10.560 --> 1:28:13.160 not just for it's not just for Wuhan virus. You know, 1:28:13.200 --> 1:28:15.720 the handwashing reminders should be out there for everybody on 1:28:15.760 --> 1:28:17.599 everyth There's a reason why they have those up. I'm 1:28:17.600 --> 1:28:19.760 always in a restaurant bathroom. I'm like, why do they 1:28:19.800 --> 1:28:21.920 have to have this employees must wash hands thing? Because 1:28:21.960 --> 1:28:25.720 some people need to be reminded. So I'm all for 1:28:26.520 --> 1:28:28.360 changing this up a little bit. And this is where 1:28:29.439 --> 1:28:33.200 I'll start to bring up more of the the aftermath 1:28:33.439 --> 1:28:38.560 of Spanish flu and how that affected our culture and 1:28:38.640 --> 1:28:42.679 really really important ways. So that'll be something we got 1:28:42.680 --> 1:28:44.800 to do next week. This topics is obviously not going anywhere, 1:28:44.840 --> 1:28:46.280 so I'll have a lot of time to spend with 1:28:46.360 --> 1:28:51.280 you on all of that. But the getting fresh air 1:28:51.960 --> 1:28:54.120 and being out in the sun, and although this actually 1:28:54.200 --> 1:28:57.839 a lot of it is a legacy of our battle 1:28:57.880 --> 1:29:01.479 with Spanish influenza, So that's something to keep in mind 1:29:01.479 --> 1:29:02.960 here that there's going to be There's going to be 1:29:03.040 --> 1:29:07.200 things that, even after this disease passes, are changed in 1:29:07.240 --> 1:29:10.280 our culture, and there'll be cultural references and touchdownes that 1:29:10.760 --> 1:29:14.400 we'll be aware of long after this is gone. So look, 1:29:14.600 --> 1:29:15.840 I've been saying to you and I want you all 1:29:15.840 --> 1:29:16.800 to make sure you have a great wee can. I 1:29:16.800 --> 1:29:19.479 also want to get into your thoughts on all this. 1:29:19.520 --> 1:29:20.760 I'm sure there's going to be a lot of that. 1:29:20.880 --> 1:29:24.519 We did talk Unfortunately right now there are more impressing concerns. 1:29:24.560 --> 1:29:26.320 We did talk about getting a voicemail box set up 1:29:26.320 --> 1:29:27.360 for all of you so you can call them. We 1:29:27.400 --> 1:29:29.559 can hear you and play your audio on the show. 1:29:29.640 --> 1:29:31.720 We are going to do that, but first we got 1:29:31.720 --> 1:29:34.720 to make sure the world doesn't collapse. So that's on 1:29:34.840 --> 1:29:36.720 the back burner. But it is on the burner, so 1:29:36.760 --> 1:29:39.200 we will get to it.

The team we're 1:30:09.760 --> 1:30:11.400 the show is going to continue, don't worry about that. 1:30:11.760 --> 1:30:14.559 But you know you're gonna be my my contact with you. 1:30:14.680 --> 1:30:16.760 I'm not gonna be able to see family. We're gonna 1:30:16.760 --> 1:30:19.240 be We're gonna be self distance from from family here 1:30:19.240 --> 1:30:21.599 in New York. At least I'm gonna self distance from family. 1:30:22.439 --> 1:30:26.160 You're not even gonna get to see me, that's probably true. 1:30:26.880 --> 1:30:29.679 I will FaceTime though, why just so you can see 1:30:29.680 --> 1:30:31.280 my smiling face. I don't want you to miss me too. 1:30:31.280 --> 1:30:34.519 I know what you look like. Ouch. So yeah, there's 1:30:34.560 --> 1:30:36.880 gonna be a little bit of a lack of human 1:30:37.360 --> 1:30:39.439 connectivity for a while here in the city. That's gonna 1:30:39.479 --> 1:30:42.160 happen for at least a few weeks. So hearing from 1:30:42.200 --> 1:30:44.559 all of you is going to be really helpful and 1:30:44.800 --> 1:30:46.479 helpful for the show. But also, look, I'm gonna want 1:30:46.479 --> 1:30:48.479 to hear from across the country. Tell me you know, 1:30:48.520 --> 1:30:50.360 I want to hear what you guys are going through. 1:30:50.400 --> 1:30:52.320 I want to hear if you're scared, if you're not scared. 1:30:52.360 --> 1:30:54.360 I want to see if there's lines at the store 1:30:54.479 --> 1:30:56.800 or not, if you know the local schools have shut down. 1:30:57.040 --> 1:30:59.280 One thing I think might be an outcome I was 1:30:59.320 --> 1:31:02.760 mentioning before some of the cultural and political takeaways from 1:31:02.800 --> 1:31:06.200 all this. One thing that I think is going to 1:31:06.240 --> 1:31:08.960 be very relevant here is a lot of people are 1:31:08.960 --> 1:31:11.120 going to have their kids at home that aren't used 1:31:11.160 --> 1:31:13.280 to that because the schools are closing. I mean, are 1:31:13.320 --> 1:31:15.000 all schools in New York about to close? Or where 1:31:15.000 --> 1:31:16.840 are we the public schools? No, it's if you have 1:31:16.880 --> 1:31:18.960 a case of closes for the day. They're keeping the 1:31:19.000 --> 1:31:20.920 schools open for now. But some places I think the 1:31:20.920 --> 1:31:23.439 schools are Somebody told me that his kids school in 1:31:23.479 --> 1:31:25.599 Baltimore were shut down for three weeks. Yeah, I think 1:31:25.640 --> 1:31:27.439 the worry in New York City is that a lot 1:31:27.479 --> 1:31:29.479 of there's one hundred thousand kids that are homeless and 1:31:29.520 --> 1:31:32.479 rely on meals from the schools, so they ucate them 1:31:32.520 --> 1:31:35.280 open as kind of a really as a support system, 1:31:35.320 --> 1:31:41.800 support network for children here. So you have and I 1:31:42.040 --> 1:31:43.599 want to hear from all of you across the country. Mean, 1:31:43.600 --> 1:31:45.160 you guys are going to be giving us. I want 1:31:45.160 --> 1:31:49.080 you to be my front line correspondence for what you're seeing. 1:31:49.560 --> 1:31:53.400 You know, whether it's up in Portland, down in Austin, 1:31:53.520 --> 1:31:59.080 out in Boston, in Fort Wayne, in Baltimore, and you know, 1:31:59.120 --> 1:32:01.679 you name it all.

I think we're actually on a 1:32:08.880 --> 1:32:12.240 station in Montana somewhere. But anyway, Yeah, and I'm just 1:32:12.280 --> 1:32:14.120 saying we're one hundred and sixty so it's hard to 1:32:14.200 --> 1:32:17.800 keep track, all right, elam hey buck.

People 1:33:57.600 --> 1:34:01.040 would the name mister Snerdley does not evoke a man 1:34:01.120 --> 1:34:03.200 who I believe is about six three or six four. 1:34:03.400 --> 1:34:06.200 And I mean he looks like he could be a 1:34:06.280 --> 1:34:09.400 d end on the Giants. He's a large guy. Sure. Yeah, yeah, 1:34:09.400 --> 1:34:11.080 I'm just saying I will not mess with the guy.

Pardon me. I'm 1:34:22.520 --> 1:34:26.360 a medical laboratory scientist at a major hospital system in 1:34:26.400 --> 1:34:28.960 the Michigan area. So my co workers in my handle 1:34:29.000 --> 1:34:31.679 all the testing starting today since there were two cases yesterday. 1:34:31.720 --> 1:34:33.720 On the other side of the state, people in the 1:34:33.760 --> 1:34:37.280 healthcare system are in full blown panic mode. All non 1:34:37.320 --> 1:34:39.840 clinical staff are a work from home till future notice. 1:34:40.040 --> 1:34:43.040 All entrances are locked except one which is fully manned 1:34:43.040 --> 1:34:46.599 with a screening team. All people are screened upon entrance. 1:34:46.960 --> 1:34:48.680 If people come in and have symptoms, the room is 1:34:48.680 --> 1:34:51.000 shut down for two hours after they leave, and then 1:34:51.040 --> 1:34:54.160 cleaning starts. It's crazy how much panic the government and 1:34:54.240 --> 1:34:56.760 corporations are stirring up to make it all worse. From 1:34:56.760 --> 1:34:59.639 Sunday till today, I've not only seen the first positive 1:34:59.680 --> 1:35:03.040 flu eight tests I've seen all year. The rest of 1:35:03.080 --> 1:35:06.040 the season has been mostly flu B. But out of 1:35:06.040 --> 1:35:08.920 the fifty states I've run over fifty percent a fifty 1:35:08.920 --> 1:35:11.960 tests I've run, over fifty percent have been positive. So 1:35:12.000 --> 1:35:14.559 the system will be stressed even more with the giant 1:35:14.600 --> 1:35:17.160 uptick in flu. Just wanted to give you some info 1:35:17.280 --> 1:35:20.320 from someone who is dealing with this disaster. My overall 1:35:20.320 --> 1:35:22.599 assessment is the media and the Dems see this as 1:35:22.640 --> 1:35:25.080 their last and best chance to beat Trump in November. 1:35:25.200 --> 1:35:27.880 The public be damned. I've also passed the buck to 1:35:27.920 --> 1:35:30.360 eight other people and turned to you for their daily 1:35:30.400 --> 1:35:33.479 news coverage. Now shield's high, fellow patriot. Well, jim Man, 1:35:33.479 --> 1:35:34.960 you're on the front lines of this, and thank you 1:35:35.000 --> 1:35:37.559 for some insight into what we're seeing, and also for 1:35:37.600 --> 1:35:39.679 passing the buck to other people. That's a great help 1:35:39.720 --> 1:35:41.960 to us, and it's an honor. And when I say 1:35:41.960 --> 1:35:44.759 I appreciate it, I really do mean that. Even producer 1:35:44.800 --> 1:35:46.519 Mark gets a big smile when we see the podcast 1:35:46.600 --> 1:35:49.200 numbers going up every month, and they've only gone up 1:35:49.200 --> 1:35:51.320 about fifty percent in the last six months overall, so 1:35:51.680 --> 1:35:54.880 only fifty percent. Yeah, I passed the buck yesterday. Really, 1:35:55.080 --> 1:35:57.120 I got into an umber from the train station. I 1:35:57.120 --> 1:36:00.360 can't use my car for whatever reason. But he was 1:36:00.400 --> 1:36:02.879 talking about rush, so, you know, and he was complaining 1:36:02.920 --> 1:36:04.639 that he won't have any sports to listen to because 1:36:04.680 --> 1:36:06.439 they're all canceled. They'll go, you know, if you need 1:36:06.520 --> 1:36:08.680 something to listen to in the car Buck Sex and 1:36:08.720 --> 1:36:12.760 Show podcast bam Bruster Mark even passes the buck. Look 1:36:12.800 --> 1:36:15.400 at me, well done, high five for us. It's good 1:36:15.439 --> 1:36:17.040 and now he'll know what I look like. Yeah, and 1:36:17.040 --> 1:36:19.880 it's nice because also now we hopefully can both continue 1:36:19.920 --> 1:36:22.479 to get paychecks to buy food. So when we're standing 1:36:22.520 --> 1:36:25.320 in line for hours and hours at Costco, at least 1:36:25.320 --> 1:36:27.879 our credit cards will will work. I can't even imagine 1:36:27.920 --> 1:36:32.439 doing it. That's where we're heading, I think, John, Oh 1:36:32.439 --> 1:36:36.559 my gosh, here we go. Wow, I just got It's 1:36:36.600 --> 1:36:41.120 funny as I'm here, I'm talking about this. Wow. They've 1:36:41.200 --> 1:36:46.599 just they have told me that my I ordered from 1:36:46.600 --> 1:36:48.720 a delivery service a few days ago, because that's very 1:36:48.720 --> 1:36:50.360 common in New York, and they're telling me that it's 1:36:50.360 --> 1:36:54.040 like basically missing everything. I just got that alosimone here. 1:36:54.160 --> 1:36:57.120 Of course I knew that. I knew that was gonna happen. 1:36:57.720 --> 1:37:00.120 So no laundry to church in, no paper towel, all 1:37:00.160 --> 1:37:01.760 the all the things that I was hoping to just 1:37:01.840 --> 1:37:03.920 I didn't order huge. I just ordered like one or 1:37:03.920 --> 1:37:05.200 two so I could have them for the next week, 1:37:05.200 --> 1:37:08.360 you know, a week or swore Nope, out. I don't 1:37:08.360 --> 1:37:09.760 know how. I don't know how that happens. I don't 1:37:09.840 --> 1:37:12.479 understand how they You know, something's going on here. They're 1:37:12.479 --> 1:37:14.920 like selling laundry detergent on the black market. Now, I 1:37:14.960 --> 1:37:17.439 don't know how I'm gonna stock my new apartment. Yeah, 1:37:17.439 --> 1:37:21.920 like whatever I don't have. Oh well, I'm I am 1:37:22.000 --> 1:37:24.960 not I am not pleased about this circumstance right now, 1:37:25.000 --> 1:37:29.559 because I needed I need laundry detergent. I've seen the tweets. 1:37:29.600 --> 1:37:32.519 If you go to a bodega, apparently they're fully stocked 1:37:32.560 --> 1:37:35.320 and empty, but all the grocery stores are packed and 1:37:35.840 --> 1:37:38.439 fully stocked and empty of people. But all the grocery 1:37:38.479 --> 1:37:42.840 stores are empty of food and have many people. Really. Yeah, 1:37:43.000 --> 1:37:45.000 I went to a market yesterday that will remain un 1:37:45.040 --> 1:37:46.640 named because I don't want everyone to like flock to 1:37:46.680 --> 1:37:49.000 it. It It was I had everything totally normal, so I 1:37:49.040 --> 1:37:51.000 don't understand. But then my brother went to Whole Foods. 1:37:51.000 --> 1:37:54.640 Whole Foods, it looks like like the ravaging hordes have 1:37:54.760 --> 1:37:57.120 come through and taken everything. So basically what I'm saying 1:37:57.160 --> 1:37:59.320 is stopping boogie, go to a bodega and get what 1:37:59.360 --> 1:38:01.960 you think. Great, dude, I love bodegas, local small business. 1:38:02.000 --> 1:38:03.479 I'll make it a bodega. By the way, for those 1:38:03.520 --> 1:38:05.360 of you don't, it's like it's a Spanish word for 1:38:05.400 --> 1:38:07.280 a grocery. We have them here in New York and 1:38:07.320 --> 1:38:12.639 they're often owned by people from Dominican immigrant families Puerto 1:38:12.680 --> 1:38:15.400 Rican immigrant families, and bodegas are a commonplace thing here 1:38:15.400 --> 1:38:16.920 in New York. I feel like they don't have that everywhere. 1:38:16.960 --> 1:38:20.519 They don't. They don't have Delis in DC, so you 1:38:20.560 --> 1:38:22.840 know that definitely don't have both degas. DC is a 1:38:22.840 --> 1:38:24.759 weird town. It is a weird town and everything closes 1:38:24.800 --> 1:38:28.600 like nine o'clock too. John, Hey Buck, Greetings from the 1:38:28.600 --> 1:38:31.639 beautiful mountains of Idaho. A buddy and a co worker 1:38:31.680 --> 1:38:34.200 I've known for almost twenty years has been trying to 1:38:34.240 --> 1:38:36.000 pass me the buck for the last few years, but 1:38:36.040 --> 1:38:37.760 two hours of content was always a little too much 1:38:37.760 --> 1:38:41.240 to squeeze in my packed load for podcasts. But I'm 1:38:41.280 --> 1:38:42.800 glad I got over that hang up. I look forward 1:38:42.800 --> 1:38:44.880 to the the Freedom Hud every day, even if I'm listening 1:38:44.920 --> 1:38:46.560 to it at one point five speed. Keep up the 1:38:46.560 --> 1:38:48.680 great work, shields high well, John, Thank you man. Hey 1:38:48.720 --> 1:38:50.760 listen to what as fast as you want. And for 1:38:50.800 --> 1:38:53.360 those of you that that are you know listening and 1:38:53.400 --> 1:38:54.800 you want to kind of condense it. You could always 1:38:54.800 --> 1:38:56.720 try that. Listen to one point five percent speed. I 1:38:56.840 --> 1:39:00.600 speak with enough pauses between what I say because I 1:39:01.000 --> 1:39:04.120 hate filler words, because like I could like sit here 1:39:04.160 --> 1:39:06.559 and like I mean, like totally like talk the way 1:39:06.560 --> 1:39:09.599 that like even some other I mean, you know, radio 1:39:09.680 --> 1:39:12.720 host talk, you know, and they do. I don't like that. 1:39:13.320 --> 1:39:15.559 I like precision of language. I like people to be 1:39:15.560 --> 1:39:17.559 able to listen to what I'm saying, and the words 1:39:17.600 --> 1:39:20.120 that I'm using have a purpose, and the purpose is 1:39:20.160 --> 1:39:22.160 not to allow me to think of the next thing 1:39:22.160 --> 1:39:25.000 that I'm saying. I just will take a moment to 1:39:25.160 --> 1:39:27.280 think about the next thing that I'm saying. I prefer 1:39:27.400 --> 1:39:29.960 that I have. Actually one thing that one knock on 1:39:30.000 --> 1:39:31.640 me in the past has been sometimes people have been like, 1:39:31.720 --> 1:39:35.400 were you reading that monologue? And iverything, No, I'm just talking, 1:39:35.479 --> 1:39:37.640 and they go, what sounds like you? And I'm like, 1:39:37.640 --> 1:39:39.080 what do you think? It sounds like a read? They 1:39:39.080 --> 1:39:42.120 will know, but you're so few filler words that it 1:39:42.920 --> 1:39:44.760 we assume that you were reading it, even if you 1:39:44.760 --> 1:39:46.439 were reading it really well, and it didn't sound like 1:39:46.439 --> 1:39:48.439 a read in terms of tone. I don't know anyway, 1:39:49.360 --> 1:39:51.879 A little humble brand, a little Panela back for the buckster. 1:39:53.640 --> 1:39:55.640 Let's see we got here, and thank you John for that. 1:39:55.680 --> 1:39:58.320 I appreciate it. And you're right, hey, buck on your talk. 1:39:58.320 --> 1:40:00.040 I knew we're gonna get some toilet paper actually, and 1:40:00.560 --> 1:40:02.760 you're talking about toilet paper during college and at work. 1:40:02.800 --> 1:40:05.120 I bring in my own toilet paper from home. My 1:40:05.280 --> 1:40:08.280 university and workplace has cardboard for toilet paper, and I 1:40:08.320 --> 1:40:11.879 eat a good amount. If you get my drift. What 1:40:11.560 --> 1:40:14.920 what does that mean? I think he's saying he poops 1:40:14.920 --> 1:40:18.759 a lot buck oh, eat a good amount period. I'm sorry. 1:40:18.840 --> 1:40:21.160 I thought he meant eat a good amount of Pardon me, 1:40:21.200 --> 1:40:23.160 I'm sorry. I was bout. I thought he was saying, 1:40:23.200 --> 1:40:27.439 eat a good amount of cardboard for toilet paper. I 1:40:27.479 --> 1:40:29.400 don't think he eats the toilet paper. No, I understand, 1:40:29.400 --> 1:40:32.080 but that's why I was so confused. My workplace, workplace 1:40:32.120 --> 1:40:34.479 has cardboard for toilet paper, and I eat a good 1:40:34.479 --> 1:40:37.800 amount that. Okay, the grants a grammar issue. It's a 1:40:37.840 --> 1:40:40.120 grammar issue. Eat a good amount of what now I 1:40:40.160 --> 1:40:42.840 get it, eat a good amount? Okay? Whoa pardon me? Team, Sorry, 1:40:42.840 --> 1:40:45.720 I hope you're not having lunch. I'm guessing the t 1:40:46.160 --> 1:40:48.360 the TP run is because people think that the quarantine 1:40:48.400 --> 1:40:50.000 for two weeks and they want to be prepared. You're 1:40:50.040 --> 1:40:52.799 the man, No, Andy, you're the man. I think you're correct. 1:40:52.920 --> 1:40:55.840 I just think that that's you know, they can keep 1:40:55.840 --> 1:40:57.960 the shelf stocked if everyone just buys what they need. 1:40:58.000 --> 1:40:59.240 You know, look, if you want to buy what you 1:40:59.280 --> 1:41:01.760 need for the week, I get it. But to buy 1:41:01.840 --> 1:41:04.800 what you need for the month. If our shelves are 1:41:04.840 --> 1:41:07.639 all bare in a month, we got bigger problems than 1:41:07.720 --> 1:41:09.719 just whether or not you bought a month's worth of stuff. 1:41:09.840 --> 1:41:11.880 So I don't think that that's where we are. I 1:41:11.920 --> 1:41:13.639 will say that I when I started the media business 1:41:13.720 --> 1:41:16.880 long time ago, I worked for Glenn Beck, and you know, 1:41:16.880 --> 1:41:18.240 we did a lot of There was a lot of 1:41:18.240 --> 1:41:20.400 talk there, and Glen would talk a lot about about 1:41:20.400 --> 1:41:23.960 being prepared. And the people that are that tend to 1:41:24.000 --> 1:41:26.120 focus on preparation or not the kind of in your 1:41:26.560 --> 1:41:28.680 not like in your face, haha kind of people. But 1:41:29.479 --> 1:41:30.880 I think a lot of them right now are kind 1:41:30.880 --> 1:41:35.160 of like, yep, knew this was coming, got six months 1:41:35.160 --> 1:41:37.120 worth of food in the basement, plenty of fresh water, 1:41:37.200 --> 1:41:41.320 a generator, ammunition, and we're fine, I'm just gonna say 1:41:41.360 --> 1:41:42.800 it because they're not gonna say it. But I don't 1:41:42.800 --> 1:41:44.000 know a lot of them are kind of like he 1:41:46.120 --> 1:41:48.719 and we. Meanwhile in New York here us as bougie 1:41:48.760 --> 1:41:51.240 New Yorkers like oh good, heavens the whole food just 1:41:51.439 --> 1:41:55.479 running short on site, Tan and Tofu will be all right. 1:41:55.840 --> 1:42:01.360 I hope you're in the Freedom. This is the Buck 1:42:01.400 --> 1:42:07.760 Sex and Show podcast. Chris writes hey book. As an 1:42:07.760 --> 1:42:09.880 English major back in college, I can appreciate all of 1:42:09.920 --> 1:42:12.880 your recent book recommendations. I always had thought that I 1:42:13.160 --> 1:42:15.080 have read in nineteen eighty four back in high school, 1:42:15.080 --> 1:42:17.360 but it turns out I read Animal Farm. The only 1:42:17.400 --> 1:42:18.920 way of knowing that was by the fact that I 1:42:19.000 --> 1:42:21.160 save all my books that I've read. It's a goal 1:42:21.200 --> 1:42:23.200 of mine to one day have a whole collection and 1:42:23.280 --> 1:42:26.000 a nice bookshelf in my future home, probably not in 1:42:26.040 --> 1:42:28.719 my homestate of California at the rate of housing costs nowadays. 1:42:29.000 --> 1:42:31.960 I'm curious do you do the same in terms of 1:42:32.040 --> 1:42:33.800 saving all of your books. I liked to refer back 1:42:33.880 --> 1:42:36.680 then whatever I need as resources. Very good Rush and Chris, 1:42:36.760 --> 1:42:38.960 and thank you for writing in. I used to save 1:42:39.000 --> 1:42:40.920 all my books, but I've moved so many times, and 1:42:41.080 --> 1:42:44.000 books are so heavy when you have a lot. When 1:42:44.040 --> 1:42:51.320 I used to have multiple full bookshelves, bookshelves, boot bookshelf, bookshelves, 1:42:52.360 --> 1:42:54.640 and I just I got so tired of carrying them 1:42:54.680 --> 1:42:56.759 and also finding a place for them in my tiny apartments. 1:42:56.800 --> 1:43:02.720 Because I am not a wealthy man, so I had 1:43:02.800 --> 1:43:05.160 to get I gave a lot away, and I really did. 1:43:05.200 --> 1:43:07.280 I I don't throw them out. I would take I 1:43:07.400 --> 1:43:12.479 took whole loads. I would use like rolling rolling Duffel 1:43:12.520 --> 1:43:15.120 bags and fill them with books and take over a 1:43:15.200 --> 1:43:16.840 couple at a time to a place called the Strand 1:43:16.920 --> 1:43:19.080 Bookstore here in New York City, or they'll pay you 1:43:19.200 --> 1:43:20.960 for some of your books, but really they're just gonna 1:43:20.960 --> 1:43:22.439 like take them off your hands and then try to 1:43:22.479 --> 1:43:25.320 resell them or find a place for them. So I 1:43:25.400 --> 1:43:27.519 really appreciate that the Strand does that. You know, you 1:43:27.640 --> 1:43:30.920 go in there, you're like, ah, these books are they're 1:43:31.040 --> 1:43:33.640 very they're very wonderful, and I'm expecting to get a 1:43:33.680 --> 1:43:34.880 lot of money for them. And they'll go through like 1:43:35.000 --> 1:43:37.320 fifty of your books and they'll say, okay, great, um, 1:43:37.479 --> 1:43:40.320 here's a check for three dollars and you're like ah, 1:43:41.439 --> 1:43:43.479 not worth what I thought it was, So I do 1:43:43.600 --> 1:43:45.080 not hang on all. I hang on too books that 1:43:45.160 --> 1:43:50.479 have particular sentimental value, anything that's been inscribed by the author. Um. 1:43:50.600 --> 1:43:52.160 I have a number of books that you know the 1:43:52.240 --> 1:43:54.000 author has written a little note to me or something. 1:43:54.040 --> 1:43:56.519 I keep those, obviously, but and other books that I 1:43:56.600 --> 1:43:58.720 just feel like you got to have. But maybe I'll 1:43:58.760 --> 1:44:01.240 maybe I'll take some foe. I've done this before, and 1:44:01.360 --> 1:44:03.760 some people get mad at me because I say I 1:44:03.800 --> 1:44:05.800 don't do this, but and then I always do it. 1:44:06.000 --> 1:44:08.439 I could take some photos of my bookshelves, because we're guys, 1:44:08.479 --> 1:44:10.000 we're gonna need to all hunker down a bit and 1:44:10.080 --> 1:44:11.880 get used to a lot of things being closed, and 1:44:12.200 --> 1:44:13.960 it's a great time to knock off some books from 1:44:13.960 --> 1:44:16.080 your reading shelf or from the stack. I got the 1:44:16.160 --> 1:44:18.599 stack next to the bed, although now I'm a little 1:44:18.600 --> 1:44:20.360 bit more clean, so I don't really do that. I 1:44:20.479 --> 1:44:22.360 kind of have a stack that's next to the stack 1:44:22.400 --> 1:44:25.719 of books in my bookshelf. But I'll take a photo 1:44:25.760 --> 1:44:28.880 of what I have on the shelf. And yeah, and 1:44:29.280 --> 1:44:31.200 mostly I'll read from kindle too, because I like to 1:44:31.240 --> 1:44:33.040 read at night before I go to sleep. It helps 1:44:33.080 --> 1:44:36.880 me fall asleep, and I can't. With the light on 1:44:37.120 --> 1:44:39.599 reading that makes it harder for me to fall asleep, 1:44:39.600 --> 1:44:41.040 But with a kindle man, I could pass out in 1:44:41.120 --> 1:44:47.720 fifteen minutes. So yeah, Tom, Well everyone the media is 1:44:47.760 --> 1:44:49.960 consumed by the hysteria of the COVID nineteen virus and 1:44:50.000 --> 1:44:52.000 the free fall of the stock market. The American judicial 1:44:52.040 --> 1:44:54.160 system is returning to status quo and sweeping all the 1:44:54.240 --> 1:44:57.080 crimes of the past eight years under the rug ag 1:44:57.240 --> 1:44:59.880 Bar has given the nod to continuation of the FI 1:45:00.000 --> 1:45:02.760 as a program, no changes to FBI coverups, and no 1:45:02.920 --> 1:45:06.040 serious charges against anyone from the deep state for all 1:45:06.080 --> 1:45:09.160 the egregious crimes committed against the American people by institutionalized 1:45:09.160 --> 1:45:13.240 corruption in America. There may be more information coming that 1:45:13.320 --> 1:45:15.519 explains what happened today, but the moment appears that American 1:45:15.560 --> 1:45:18.920 citizens and our constitution are getting screwed again. I'm with 1:45:19.000 --> 1:45:21.040 lou Dobbs on this one. There should be outrage, but 1:45:21.200 --> 1:45:23.400 instead we're told to lack The lack of real justice 1:45:23.439 --> 1:45:27.200 is the new normal. Any thoughts on this Shields high Buck. 1:45:30.800 --> 1:45:32.640 By the way, I know that there's some people who 1:45:32.680 --> 1:45:34.880 work in conservative media at certain websites who listen to 1:45:35.000 --> 1:45:36.560 this show. I know this for a fact. Listen to 1:45:36.600 --> 1:45:38.160 this show every day. I want and a half speed 1:45:38.280 --> 1:45:41.360 for ideas for articles and things. So I always appreciate that. 1:45:41.560 --> 1:45:44.160 I'm happy to help the movement in that way, and 1:45:44.200 --> 1:45:46.120 I mean that I'm not I'm not being sarcastic.

Tom Yeah, I mean, we're not going to 1:45:51.720 --> 1:45:53.880 see justice for these spying against Trump. In fact, they're 1:45:53.880 --> 1:45:55.080 probably going to try to do it again in the 1:45:55.160 --> 1:45:57.000 next election. And I know that that's not what people 1:45:57.040 --> 1:45:58.240 want to hear. But I tell you the truth. And 1:45:58.360 --> 1:45:59.720 when I think it's not what people want to hear, 1:46:00.080 --> 1:46:03.840 there will not be justice for this.
