Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. The COVID nineteen surge
Speaker 1: is here, and it threatens to sweep across the rest
Speaker 1: of the country soon. We'll talk about how much of
Speaker 1: the US now is under lockdown, much of the world
Speaker 1: under lockdown, How is the race to get ventilators going
Speaker 1: here in the city and across the country. Plus we'll
Speaker 1: talk about the eight trillion dollars that Larry Cudlow says
Speaker 1: is going out with this new rescue package and everything
Speaker 1: else he needs to know about what's going on right now.
Speaker 1: Coming up on the Buck Sexton Show. Bucks Sextons coding
Speaker 1: the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence, magnor mistake
Speaker 1: a great American Again, This is the Bucks Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: The CIA analysts you can speak to three hours without
Speaker 1: a phone call. Try doing that. Sometimes we have to
Speaker 1: put the country to work, Cliff, He'll lose a number
Speaker 1: of people to the flu, but you're gonna lose more
Speaker 1: people by putting a country into a massive recession or depression.
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose people. You're gonna have suicides by the thousands,
Speaker 1: You're going to have all sorts of things happen. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have instability. You can't just come in and say,
Speaker 1: let's close up the United States of America, the biggest,
Speaker 1: the most successful country in the world by far. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the buck Sex and show everyone we are now
Speaker 1: in week two of quarantine. We are I think, eight
Speaker 1: days away, seven days away from the fifteen days to
Speaker 1: stop the spread. We have all the updates for you
Speaker 1: on where this stands in different cities, counties across the country,
Speaker 1: what hospitals are already starting to feel the strain, what's
Speaker 1: going on around the world, what the Chinese government is
Speaker 1: saying about this. The package that looks like as I
Speaker 1: go to air is going to pass soon, although how
Speaker 1: soon I can't quite tell you. It maybe may already
Speaker 1: be through by the time you hear this. But there's
Speaker 1: agreement they've said on this. Two trillion dollars of direct
Speaker 1: cash payments and then six trillion dollars of injection lending
Speaker 1: into the economy, the fed by the federal government. And
Speaker 1: so now we have to look at what the status
Speaker 1: is of this effort to get ahead of our of
Speaker 1: this pandemic, and how are we doing with regard to that.
Speaker 1: And I'm also going to promise you right now We're
Speaker 1: going to take a little bit more of a deep
Speaker 1: breath at least in the third hour of the show.
Speaker 1: We got to talk about just how things are going.
Speaker 1: We can just allow ourselves. And this is not just
Speaker 1: for me. As I'm doing this show, I'm doing four
Speaker 1: hours radio day. It's mostly coronavirus all the time. It's
Speaker 1: the biggest story in the world. Knowing doubts that it's
Speaker 1: far and away the most important issue facing humanity right now.
Speaker 1: It's not a political issue, it's not a national security issue.
Speaker 1: It's an everything issue all together. But we'll try to
Speaker 1: take a collective deep breath later on in the show,
Speaker 1: and just I'll share with you some things I'm reading,
Speaker 1: some things I'm seeing talking to folks. We need that
Speaker 1: sense of community. You are my community right now. I
Speaker 1: do not get to see anyone else. So the team
Speaker 1: matters in a way that is unprecedented in that sense,
Speaker 1: because I rely on all of you for human human
Speaker 1: connection and contact with the outside world. As I am
Speaker 1: here behind pandemic lines in the middle of New York City,
Speaker 1: the place that is the worst hit of anywhere in
Speaker 1: the country and has the third most confirmed cases of
Speaker 1: any area of similar size, in the world. So this
Speaker 1: is very troubling. Well, the US, I think is number
Speaker 1: three on the overall list. I'd have to check and
Speaker 1: see where just New York alone is. But you have
Speaker 1: a mass of spike here in cases. But you notice
Speaker 1: the president yesterday, he did a virtual town hall, he
Speaker 1: did a press conference, and you can basically count the
Speaker 1: hours until you start to see certain members of the
Speaker 1: media who are not going to lessen any of their
Speaker 1: partisanship right now. You can basically count down until they
Speaker 1: start saying that Trump, doctor Fauci, they're spending too much
Speaker 1: time in forming the public. That's what we'll be told,
Speaker 1: that they're doing too much of this press conference stuff.
Speaker 1: And you know what a large part of that push
Speaker 1: will be, assuming that it happens, I think you'll start
Speaker 1: to see media criticism of is this the best usage
Speaker 1: of Trump's time? Is this the best usage of doctor
Speaker 1: Fauci's time? And remember this comes days after Fauci wasn't
Speaker 1: at one press conference, wasn't at one of these task
Speaker 1: force meetings that they've been holding where they answer questions
Speaker 1: and tell people what's going on and where's doctor Fauci?
Speaker 1: Became this trending issue where's doctor Fauci. People were very,
Speaker 1: very concerned all of a sudden, and I think it's
Speaker 1: because the ability that the president has to connect with
Speaker 1: the American people to show some command of the situation,
Speaker 1: to show us that he's doing everything that he reasonably
Speaker 1: can right now to keep as many of us safe
Speaker 1: as possible and yes, get us back to economic activity
Speaker 1: as soon as possible. That means that the president, that
Speaker 1: perception has meant the President is now doing well in
Speaker 1: terms of public approval. And I do think that most
Speaker 1: of the liberal media, you know, they are focused more
Speaker 1: on getting past us. I'm not going to say that
Speaker 1: they're acting like complete monsters. I think they want us
Speaker 1: to get past this with minimum loss of life. But
Speaker 1: they also, as a secondary concern, for sure, want to
Speaker 1: make sure that this is the end of Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: that this is the end of his administration, that's this
Speaker 1: destroys him, this defeats him, and that they can just
Speaker 1: push Joe Biden. Who I mean, really, after three years
Speaker 1: of having Democrats talk about how, you know, Trump isn't
Speaker 1: smart enough, he's not good enough, he's not this, he's
Speaker 1: not that, and now to see them push this really
Speaker 1: a sort of doddering old man. I mean, somebody who
Speaker 1: really looks like he is in no way up for
Speaker 1: this and does not inspire confidence, does not in any
Speaker 1: way make people think that he's got a command of
Speaker 1: the situation. That's just crazy. But this is what they're
Speaker 1: telling us now. Oh, if Joe Biden was in charge,
Speaker 1: you've noticed that he's faded in the background a little bit.
Speaker 1: And because New York is the front line of this
Speaker 1: battle right now, and because Governor Cuomo has been holding
Speaker 1: press conferences every day, he's certainly the Democratic figure that
Speaker 1: is getting the most attention in this fight, and people
Speaker 1: are asking questions. I'm just gonna say it. There are
Speaker 1: folks out there who are raising why is it that
Speaker 1: we're all supporting Biden? You know why? Why? And we
Speaker 1: go with Cuomo from the Democrats side I'm talking about now.
Speaker 1: But I'm seeing this start to happen, and I just
Speaker 1: bring it up because Biden just doesn't have it, folks.
Speaker 1: He's not Yeah, maybe he's the nominee, but m doesn't
Speaker 1: look like he can get it done. But let's get
Speaker 1: back into where we are with this fight against the virus.
Speaker 1: The President said that we have to be concerned about
Speaker 1: a depression that will lose more people to recession depression
Speaker 1: than coronavirus. And this is what I've been trying to
Speaker 1: talk to for a while now. And there's a very
Speaker 1: clear movement, particularly online and among some opinion journalists and
Speaker 1: bloggers and Hollywood types to suggest that anybody who is
Speaker 1: not completely on board for an open ended lockdown of
Speaker 1: the economy is throwing Grandma under the bus or off
Speaker 1: the cliff, only cares about their four one K. This
Speaker 1: is disgusting, it's bad faith, it's not true. And the
Speaker 1: people that are looking at all the numbers and have
Speaker 1: the access to the best information right now are saying,
Speaker 1: we do have to make sure that we don't let
Speaker 1: the economy get too bad, and there will be difficult
Speaker 1: choices here ahead. I'm not saying right now. Not even
Speaker 1: Trump said we got to open the economy tomorrow, right
Speaker 1: we have the fifteen days, that is the plan. He
Speaker 1: said he was hopeful, and we play this for your yesterday,
Speaker 1: hopeful to open things up a bit. You gotta listen
Speaker 1: to the people, I mean, you gotta listen to people
Speaker 1: who are being honest about this and tune out those
Speaker 1: who say the President promised the president set a deadline.
Speaker 1: He did no such thing. Expressions of hope are just
Speaker 1: that he's trying to keep everybody calm, forward looking while
Speaker 1: also taking the necessary precautions in this moment. But the
Speaker 1: August I mean, the April eleventh deadline is not a
Speaker 1: deadline at all. It's just the President saying, and that
Speaker 1: it was report it as such the media. It's just
Speaker 1: the President saying, listen, we're going to get back to
Speaker 1: work as quickly as we can. And maybe back to
Speaker 1: work means masks, gloves, Maybe it means social distancing practice
Speaker 1: to the degree possible in the office, you know, hand
Speaker 1: sanitizer everywhere, very strict rules about it. Anyone who feels
Speaker 1: even a little bit sick stays home. And you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying that it's ever going to
Speaker 1: be quickly the way that it was before this, but
Speaker 1: we do need to grapple with the reality of what
Speaker 1: this would become in time. I also see the meaning
Speaker 1: that if we kept the maximum shutdown in place, if
Speaker 1: we do what we're doing right now, which is a
Speaker 1: level of extreme that I think it is shocking to
Speaker 1: a lot of people. The Governor Cuomo right now is
Speaker 1: saying that they're going to practice mandatory playground social density policing.
Speaker 1: It's a fancy way of saying, you can't have more
Speaker 1: than a few people in the ground at one time,
Speaker 1: and we'll find people if we have to, and then
Speaker 1: we might shut and they'll just shut the parks down
Speaker 1: if they don't abide by this. So, unfortunately, when you're
Speaker 1: in a situation as we are right now, people that
Speaker 1: refuse to play by the rules, people that refuse to
Speaker 1: do what is necessary to try and protect everybody, they
Speaker 1: make life harder for everyone. They might open streets to
Speaker 1: foot traffic but not vehicle traffic as a means of
Speaker 1: spreading things out on the streets so that you can
Speaker 1: go for a walk and you don't have to come
Speaker 1: within I mean, look, I'm out here where there's more
Speaker 1: of this virus than anywhere else in the country by far,
Speaker 1: And even on the streets that are pretty empty, you
Speaker 1: end up finding yourself unless you want to walk out
Speaker 1: into traffic, you have to walk within a few feet
Speaker 1: of individuals. This is going to spread around the country.
Speaker 1: It's already happening. I'll tell you about that with the
Speaker 1: hospital hospital surge situation that we're already seeing in Georgia.
Speaker 1: We're already seeing in a lot of states that people
Speaker 1: don't think of as hotspots for this. Florida. Look, Florida
Speaker 1: got a lot of New Yorkers, a lot of people said, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to my house in Florida and
Speaker 1: ride this out because things are bad in New York.
Speaker 1: Guess what, Now there's a lot more in Florida than
Speaker 1: people were anticipating. And this is also why doctor Deborah Burkes,
Speaker 1: who has now become a household name during this, has said,
Speaker 1: if you're in New York at all, you have to
Speaker 1: be in quarantine for fourteen days. So I am now
Speaker 1: officially under guidance. I mean, I've been saying I'm in
Speaker 1: a semi self quarantine, but I knew we were just
Speaker 1: sliding toward full on quarantine. I am now, you know,
Speaker 1: in a mandated quarantine situation. That's that, or at least
Speaker 1: that's the mandatory guidance. They're not forcing me to do this,
Speaker 1: but I'm at home for at least two weeks. And
Speaker 1: if you're in New York, it's not like two weeks
Speaker 1: from now, you'll you'll be able to think that everything
Speaker 1: is fine all they're saying, is when you go somewhere else,
Speaker 1: you've got a quarantine fort days because you could be infected,
Speaker 1: and if you're in New York, you should act as
Speaker 1: if you might be infected. That's where we are right now.
Speaker 1: So the President is walking a very tight rope here
Speaker 1: of maximum protections for everybody while also keeping an eye
Speaker 1: on the economy. And this is necessary, and this is
Speaker 1: not about trading dollars for lives. In fact, it is
Speaker 1: looking at the long term sustainability of this country and
Speaker 1: all of the lives in it and making sure that
Speaker 1: you know, doctors have equipment coming to them from our
Speaker 1: from our facilities, and food is still on the shelves,
Speaker 1: and some commerce is still happening because the things and
Speaker 1: I do not believe we're going to this, So I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not trying to be a profit of doom
Speaker 1: at all. But if we have food shortages, then all
Speaker 1: the people that are saying, oh, but you know, we
Speaker 1: can do this, we can do this for months. We
Speaker 1: don't have to change anything. I think they'll wreck ignized
Speaker 1: that that was very shortsighted, because things will get very
Speaker 1: ugly and very scary really quickly, and there will also
Speaker 1: be other strains on the healthcare system. As a result
Speaker 1: of this, people are going to be making their own decisions.
Speaker 1: So we have to be balancing these two components of
Speaker 1: maximizing public health and safety while also keeping alive I'm
Speaker 1: not saying flourishing, keeping alive the economy. We have to
Speaker 1: do that. And that's why when Governor Cuomo said this,
Speaker 1: and I know I'm talking about New York a lot
Speaker 1: and a lot of guys, a lot of you folks
Speaker 1: aren't in New York, but this is the canary in
Speaker 1: the coal mine. I mean, New York is showing us
Speaker 1: what's coming and what's happening, and it will come to
Speaker 1: not the same numbers, but you're going to have situations
Speaker 1: like this and most for most of you listening to this,
Speaker 1: if you're in an urban area at all, including suburbs,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're within an hour or to drive
Speaker 1: of a pretty major city, you're going to be dealing
Speaker 1: with this. But Governor Quoma said this, and I understand
Speaker 1: where he's coming from, but I also think that this
Speaker 1: is not I think this is not really intellectually honest
Speaker 1: the way he's framing this right now, Because no one
Speaker 1: thinks that anyone's expendable. No one is okay with any
Speaker 1: American dying from this right now, we all want everyone
Speaker 1: to survive. When you start from that premise, at least,
Speaker 1: then you can act in good faith when you try
Speaker 1: to balance out the other imperatives. Here, here's what humor
Speaker 1: play clip nineteen. I'm sorry what Ta Cuomo said. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my mother is not expendable, and your mother is not expendable,
Speaker 1: and our brothers and sisters are not expendable. And we're
Speaker 1: not going to accept a premise that human life is disposable,
Speaker 1: and we're not going to put a dollar figure on
Speaker 1: human life. The first order of business is save lives, period,
Speaker 1: whatever it costs. Now, I also don't believe it's an
Speaker 1: either or. I' believe you can have an intelligent, refined
Speaker 1: public health strategy. To talk about risk stratification. You can
Speaker 1: have people go to work. You can test people and
Speaker 1: find out that they are resolved from the virus, let
Speaker 1: them go back to work. You're gonna have younger people
Speaker 1: go back to work. You can have an economic startup
Speaker 1: strategy that is consistent with the public health strategy. It's smart. Now,
Speaker 1: Notice how he says we'll do anything for health forever,
Speaker 1: every single life. We'll do anything. And then he says,
Speaker 1: but you know, we're gonna have a risk stratification. That's
Speaker 1: a fancy way of saying, we're gonna have to make
Speaker 1: some tough choices. This is going to be imperfect, and
Speaker 1: there is going to be escalation of risk on either
Speaker 1: the economic side or the spread of infection, which also
Speaker 1: means loss of life because there is a percentage of
Speaker 1: people that get infected that will die from this. So
Speaker 1: he's saying, effectively, we're gonna balance us out as best
Speaker 1: we can. But he first comes out if well, all
Speaker 1: that matters here is that we will spend any amount
Speaker 1: to save every life. If you really did that, you
Speaker 1: would end up losing a lot more lives because you
Speaker 1: would you would destroy the entire system that's supposed to
Speaker 1: support the effort to fight against the virus. Right this
Speaker 1: is I know this gets into a bit of ethics
Speaker 1: and philosophical struggle, but we all need to be clearheaded
Speaker 1: about there are no perfect solutions here. There's nothing that's
Speaker 1: going to keep everyone alive. There's nothing that's going to
Speaker 1: make the economy rure. We are going to have to
Speaker 1: be looking at this day by day, by the numbers,
Speaker 1: by the metrics, and make tough calls. But if we
Speaker 1: make them together, and if we're honest about what's going on,
Speaker 1: and we keep in mind our most fundamental human principles
Speaker 1: but also our view to the common good, the common welfare,
Speaker 1: We're going to come through this better than it feels
Speaker 1: like we will right now. That is my hope. I
Speaker 1: do not make predictions right now, but I also think
Speaker 1: you need to be on the on the watch for
Speaker 1: demagogues who anyone who is promising you that we can
Speaker 1: go back to some degree of economic or a greater
Speaker 1: degree of economic normal without increased risk is wrong and
Speaker 1: they may be lying to you because the pandemic, this
Speaker 1: disease is not going away. Before we have a vaccine,
Speaker 1: it's not going away. So for the rest of this year,
Speaker 1: this is what we're dealing with. This is where we are,
Speaker 1: but we'll fight and we'll get through. You're in the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. During
Speaker 1: our town hall today, you throughout a date where you
Speaker 1: think America can be working again, and that's Easter Sunday,
Speaker 1: that's nineteen days from now. How did you come up. Well,
Speaker 1: it's nineteen days, but added another seven because we've been
Speaker 1: doing this now for seven so that spend the time
Speaker 1: we heard about seven time, well, yes, surround the time
Speaker 1: we close it up, so you could add seven to nine. Look,
Speaker 1: Easter is a very special day from me, and I
Speaker 1: see it's sort of been that timeline that I'm thinking about,
Speaker 1: and I say, wouldn't it be great to have all
Speaker 1: of the churches full? You know, the churches aren't allowed
Speaker 1: essentially to have much of a congregation there, and most
Speaker 1: of them I watched on Sunday online and he was terrific,
Speaker 1: by the way, but orderline is never going to be
Speaker 1: like being there. So I think Easter Sunday and you'll
Speaker 1: have packed churches all over a country. I think would
Speaker 1: be a beautiful time. And it's just about the timeline
Speaker 1: that I think is right. It gives us more chance
Speaker 1: to work on what we're doing. And I'm not sure
Speaker 1: that's going to be the day, but I would love
Speaker 1: to aim it right at Easter Sunday, so we're open
Speaker 1: for church service and services generally on Easter Sunday. That
Speaker 1: would be a beautiful thing, it would be. He's expressing
Speaker 1: hope he is not making a promise. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on
Speaker 1: Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: even though we're facing an unprecedented situation that as us
Speaker 1: all concerned, look, I am concerned, I am not panicked.
Speaker 1: We will be okay. You know, you have to just
Speaker 1: steal your sense of calm and resolve and just know
Speaker 1: that we will endure and we are capable of amazing things,
Speaker 1: we the American people, We'll get through. But even in
Speaker 1: that environment where we're all so clear that there is
Speaker 1: a need right now to stop the childish crap. I mean,
Speaker 1: I told you yesterday about the media trying to pile
Speaker 1: on to the President and say that because someone drank
Speaker 1: fish tank cleaner, which sounded like the thing the President mentioned,
Speaker 1: and he was completely right to mention it, they're using
Speaker 1: it right now in trials in New York City. I
Speaker 1: am praying, I am actually actively praying every day now
Speaker 1: for that to work. Because even if it brings down
Speaker 1: let's say, mortality rates for those who are hospitalized by
Speaker 1: fifty percent and gets them out of the hospital, you know,
Speaker 1: fifty percent sooner That would miraculous right now, because it
Speaker 1: would do so much to relieve the strain on the
Speaker 1: hospital system, which I will be talking to you about
Speaker 1: in just a moment. But it's frustrating because at this
Speaker 1: point in time, there are still those who are looking
Speaker 1: at things from the lens of what was true months
Speaker 1: ago about how we should approach one another, how we
Speaker 1: should deal with one another, what we should say about politics,
Speaker 1: what kind of gamesmanship another nonsense is acceptable? And I
Speaker 1: wasn't acceptable then, but I mean it's really unacceptable now.
Speaker 1: And you have a Biden superpack that's already on the
Speaker 1: offensive against Trump. Now. I know there's a presidential election
Speaker 1: going on, but you know, while we're doing the fifteen days,
Speaker 1: you know, there are times when you put things aside.
Speaker 1: I remember back during the financial crisis, I didn't McCain
Speaker 1: stop campaigning for a week or two not Some people
Speaker 1: thought that was grandstanding. But there's there's a legitimate case
Speaker 1: to be made in a situation like this, for sure,
Speaker 1: where there are quite literally thousands of lives at stake,
Speaker 1: that you can put this, you can put aside the
Speaker 1: petty partisan squabbles and move on to something else. But no,
Speaker 1: right here, in the middle of the fifteen days, we
Speaker 1: have to hear from Joe Biden and Joe Biden's Superpack,
Speaker 1: and here's what they have to say about the Trump
Speaker 1: response to coronavirus Play seventeen. The crisis comes to every presidency.
Speaker 1: We don't blame them for that. What matters is how
Speaker 1: they handle him. Donald Trump didn't create the coronavirus, but
Speaker 1: he is the one who called hoax, who eliminated the
Speaker 1: Pandemic Response Team, and to let the virus spread unchecked
Speaker 1: across America. Crisis comes to every president, and this one failed.
Speaker 1: That's just disgusting. It's not true, it's not right. The
Speaker 1: pandemic response to in the NSC was folded into another
Speaker 1: component and they streamlined the order of operations because the
Speaker 1: Obama administration doubled the size of the NSC from what
Speaker 1: it was. Traditionally it was usually around one hundred or
Speaker 1: two hundred Obama and so he got to four hundred people.
Speaker 1: That's huge. It's the size of Congress. And that's Remember,
Speaker 1: it's not like the NSC is. The NSC is just
Speaker 1: an advisory body to the White House, to the President
Speaker 1: on these matters. The president still has the Chairman of
Speaker 1: the Joint Chiefs of Staff still has, the seventeen agencies
Speaker 1: of the Intelligence Community still has, the NIA still has,
Speaker 1: the CDC still has more federal agencies FDA, more federal
Speaker 1: agencies than anybody can even name or remember, including people
Speaker 1: who work for the federal government, which I used to
Speaker 1: And they act like, oh, because they had a few
Speaker 1: people that they moved over into a different component within
Speaker 1: the NSC. It's just pathetic. Does anyone really think that
Speaker 1: the National Security Council had a couple of people that
Speaker 1: will what were they going to do overrule the CDC
Speaker 1: say no, you can't make your own test. CDC, We're
Speaker 1: the NSC pandemic Response Team. This is ridiculous. Call it
Speaker 1: a hoax, that's a lie. So Joe Biden's ad is
Speaker 1: a lie. He did not call it a hoax. Trump
Speaker 1: did not say this disease is a hoax. He said.
Speaker 1: The media trying to lie about Trump in his response,
Speaker 1: So really, and and saying that he called it a hoax,
Speaker 1: they are perpetuating the real hoax, which is the media's
Speaker 1: approach to this all along. And the great example yesterday
Speaker 1: of chloroquine phosphate, where all of a sudden. That's Trump's fault.
Speaker 1: You know, if someone says wash your hands, and I
Speaker 1: go and drink a whole bunch of dishwashing liquid because
Speaker 1: I think that that's going to make me even cleaner,
Speaker 1: that's on me. That's not on the health experts that
Speaker 1: say wash your hands. But that Joe Biden ad is
Speaker 1: just indicative of the whole mindset right now, which is
Speaker 1: anything to get Trump is justified, and none of us
Speaker 1: really have to think about what's fair in our assessments
Speaker 1: of him, and how should we really be thinking about
Speaker 1: the way forward with this president. Instead we should be whining,
Speaker 1: complaining it doesn't what he's doing. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi is
Speaker 1: holding the rescue, the two trillion dollars rescue package for
Speaker 1: the American people so they can pay their bills and
Speaker 1: buy groceries. She's holding that hostage. And now it seems
Speaker 1: that once again, the mythology of Nancy Pelosi's legislative brilliance
Speaker 1: a master legislator, I believe, as she once called herself,
Speaker 1: the mythology around that is entirely immediate creation. It's like RBG.
Speaker 1: It's like Ruth Bader Ginsberg's unbelievable hardcore workouts. She's a
Speaker 1: little old lady who can barely move her arms and
Speaker 1: legs during most of the exercises she's doing. And I
Speaker 1: wish her good health and I hope everything is cool
Speaker 1: for her for a very long time. But I'm not
Speaker 1: impressed by her kettle bell swings. And it's really weird
Speaker 1: that the media pretends to be. But then this is
Speaker 1: a cult. They created the cult of RBG because she's
Speaker 1: now so essential to mostly the abortion industry in this country.
Speaker 1: That's what they viview her as a big protection of that.
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about planned parenthood and Nancy Pelosi and
Speaker 1: how this all comes together, but it all comes full circle.
Speaker 1: But Nancy Pelosi's legislative brilliance, her tactical skill, that's all.
Speaker 1: That's all media creation. Nancy Pelosi approaches politics from the
Speaker 1: perspective of somebody who has no ethics and his cunning.
Speaker 1: You know that'll work in a lot of context. That'll
Speaker 1: get you very far. It actually gets a lot of
Speaker 1: people in the media business very far, including some conservatives,
Speaker 1: by the way, But that's the way. You know that
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that you're you should be admired for this,
Speaker 1: right do we really admire little Finger from Game of Thrones,
Speaker 1: By the way, that's great. That would be a great
Speaker 1: I may go back and rewatch that from the very beginning.
Speaker 1: That would soak up some quarantine time, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: I tried to get into Battlestar Galactica. I might go
Speaker 1: back to it, because I know there's a people are
Speaker 1: so love that show, so devoted to it. I just
Speaker 1: think it's dated. I think the effects are kind of
Speaker 1: kind of cheesy, and I don't know. I couldn't get it.
Speaker 1: I know people love it and you can yell at me,
Speaker 1: and that's fine. But the thing I am. Oh, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about shows later. See, my mind is already going
Speaker 1: there because, like you, I need respite from this, and
Speaker 1: so we will get to discussions with things and we'll
Speaker 1: bring in Salty Mark from the Penalty Box and it'll
Speaker 1: be good. But Biden's ad, let's refocus buck Biden's ad
Speaker 1: where he's talking about or where the announcer who inspires
Speaker 1: trust just by the tone of his voice, Well, that
Speaker 1: actually sounded a little bit like a creepy stalker or something.
Speaker 1: I got to do a better job of. I'm just
Speaker 1: making you all feel comfortable here. Now it sound even creepier,
Speaker 1: sound like I look like the guy or a sound
Speaker 1: him looked like the guy who's in the background of
Speaker 1: the like the nineties, you know teen Slasher film, who's
Speaker 1: like he was like the captain of the football team.
Speaker 1: And then you know anyway, So the Biden ad is
Speaker 1: is definitely dishonest. And there's a real sense right now
Speaker 1: because people understand government doesn't matter. Who's in charge does matter.
Speaker 1: This is a real thing. It's not oh, anybody, everyone
Speaker 1: does the exact same job. Usually that's true. It's in
Speaker 1: the crises that they have to address that we see
Speaker 1: what these because that's when their decisions matter. Their authority
Speaker 1: tends to be on the upswing tends to increase, and
Speaker 1: we're all paying attention and we all care. So in
Speaker 1: a crisis, every decision that a politician makes inherently is
Speaker 1: more both more impactful and more memorable. Here is what
Speaker 1: we get from, for example, the Democrat answer to Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: They had twenty candidates. They could have put anybody up.
Speaker 1: They could have put Oprah up, they could have put
Speaker 1: the Rock up. They could you know, anybody, Tom Hanks,
Speaker 1: that would have been by the way, I think he's
Speaker 1: doing pretty well from the coronavirus. Tom Hanks would have
Speaker 1: been formidable. Imay, look where we live in an air
Speaker 1: of celebrity and people being very likable and coming across
Speaker 1: that way is an incredibly powerful tool in a way
Speaker 1: that it wouldn't have been even one hundred years ago,
Speaker 1: because now you can reach everybody instantaneously. But they had
Speaker 1: all these options, they had all these opportunities to put
Speaker 1: forward someone who would make us all really feel like
Speaker 1: we got this, and instead and put uside. Whether or
Speaker 1: not you think Trump is doing a good job, which
Speaker 1: I think solid now solid number sixty percent of Americans overall,
Speaker 1: I believe think he is doing a good job. According
Speaker 1: to Gallup, they offer up this guy instead play clip eleven.
Speaker 1: Please are you at all concerned? As Trump said that
Speaker 1: we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself.
Speaker 1: We have to take care of the cure that will
Speaker 1: make the problem worse, no matter what, no matter what,
Speaker 1: we know what has to be done, we have to
Speaker 1: take care of the cure that will make the problem worse,
Speaker 1: no matter what, no matter what, I need a nap.
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is not up for this. And
Speaker 1: they and the Democrats know it. But they're so orange
Speaker 1: man bad. They hate Trump so much that it just
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to them. Doesn't matter to them, They don't care.
Speaker 1: They think that it's you know, anything, anything, anyone is
Speaker 1: better than Trump. And there's even a piece I think
Speaker 1: in the Atlantic right now it's you know, just stay
Speaker 1: healthy Biden, like just telling Joe Biden, we just need
Speaker 1: you to stay We need you to stay healthy. Doesn't
Speaker 1: even matter what you say, doesn't matter what your policies are.
Speaker 1: Just just be Joe Biden, and we'll take care of
Speaker 1: the rest. More or less. Here is uh, we got
Speaker 1: we got more Biden. Okay, So they're criticizing Trump. What's
Speaker 1: he doing wrong? And I would note that Cuomo, who
Speaker 1: I think has been pretty fair to the administration, yesterday
Speaker 1: he had some tough words for administration. We had updates
Speaker 1: about that today. I watched the press conference and the
Speaker 1: administration's answers that I saw, Well, we'll get there. I
Speaker 1: gotta give you something that you know, we gotta hold
Speaker 1: some the information out, so you stay with me here,
Speaker 1: you don't bail. And uh star watching the most recent
Speaker 1: season of the Last Kingdom, I'm Utred son of outred.
Speaker 1: So here's Joe Biden when he's asked about ppe personal
Speaker 1: protective equipment, when he's asked about what he would do
Speaker 1: differently than what Trump is doing. It's a perfect opportunity
Speaker 1: show us blue collar Joe, show us why you would
Speaker 1: be better than the president of the United States at
Speaker 1: handling this, And here is what he does. Play sixteen.
Speaker 1: If you were president, would you have enacted that? What
Speaker 1: would you be demanding of industry? I would have enacted
Speaker 1: a long time ago, Jake. I think it was three two,
Speaker 1: three weeks ago. I pointed out that the presidents should
Speaker 1: enact us. It should have been enacted months ago. This
Speaker 1: is a position where we know what's coming. All you
Speaker 1: gotta do is look around the world. Every morning, I'm
Speaker 1: on the phone for about an hour and a half
Speaker 1: of all the health experts on my committee. Although people
Speaker 1: working with me, they have been pointing out, I wish
Speaker 1: you had the graphs here with you. You see him,
Speaker 1: the Spike and the US cases are going like this.
Speaker 1: It's now surpassed for it would be if we continue
Speaker 1: on this path, would happened in Italy. Look, this is
Speaker 1: ridiculous to make the change like the governor said Governor Cuomo.
Speaker 1: What is he going to do with several hundreds or
Speaker 1: several thousand. He needs a great deal more. The whole
Speaker 1: country needs them. Who does that? What was that rambling mess?
Speaker 1: This idea that Democrats knew that months ago, that we
Speaker 1: should have been all hands on deck, and then this
Speaker 1: is just fantasy land stuff. In fact, Democrats in January,
Speaker 1: we're dragging the country through a bad faith and just
Speaker 1: absolutely absurd and disgusting impeachment. That's what they were doing.
Speaker 1: That is what they were up to then. So to
Speaker 1: pretend that they cared so much about this is nonsense.
Speaker 1: And I can show you. We can sit here all
Speaker 1: day and the media, a lot of media experts, Oh,
Speaker 1: don't worry about coronavirus. Oh it's not. I mean from
Speaker 1: the New York Times. I mean, I mean from a
Speaker 1: lot of the main outlets that you think of as
Speaker 1: the liberal the flagship liberal opinion makers. So this is
Speaker 1: just nonsense, and this is hindsight is twenty twenty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh of course I knew, I saw, I knew this
Speaker 1: was going to be. Joe Biden just is full of it.
Speaker 1: But he's always been full of it. This guy's been
Speaker 1: running for president since the eighties, and this is astonishing.
Speaker 1: It's like somehow his mediocrity is just unstoppable, like he'll
Speaker 1: never stop. I mean, he's obviously been stopped because he's
Speaker 1: lost a lot of efforts to be president in the past,
Speaker 1: but I mean his endurance seems to be the primary
Speaker 1: selling point that he has to be president. Endurance and
Speaker 1: longevity and politics. He's been around forever and he just
Speaker 1: keeps on coming. But if you're looking for somebody that
Speaker 1: has a good strategic mind or even strikes you as
Speaker 1: particularly bright, I don't think Joe Biden is your candidate.
Speaker 1: And I don't think Joe Biden was doing a better
Speaker 1: job right now handling this crisis than Donald Trump. And
Speaker 1: people were saying otherwise, it's wishful thinking. You're in the
Speaker 1: freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. That
Speaker 1: is really unfortunate. I would wish that that would stop,
Speaker 1: because we have a much bigger problem here than trying
Speaker 1: to point out differences. They're really fundamentally at the core
Speaker 1: when you look at things, there are not differences. The
Speaker 1: president has listened to what I have said and with
Speaker 1: the other people on the task Force have said. When
Speaker 1: I've made recommendations. He's taken them, he's never counted over
Speaker 1: ridden me. The idea of just pitting one against the
Speaker 1: other is just not helpful. I wish that would stop,
Speaker 1: when we'd look ahead at the challenge we have to
Speaker 1: pull together to get over this thing. I don't think
Speaker 1: this is minor at all. You know, I criticized the
Speaker 1: media while we're in the midst of this pandemic, and
Speaker 1: I think it's necessary too. I think it's necessary to
Speaker 1: put out the counter narrative to what they're doing to
Speaker 1: increase public awareness and with a public pressure on the
Speaker 1: bull crap that they're doing all the time. Here is
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci, who is the infectious disease expert at the
Speaker 1: whole country. Doctor Burke's and doctor Faucci watching every day
Speaker 1: on TV. The expertise not just that they possess, but
Speaker 1: that they represent because they have teams of people that
Speaker 1: are looking at all this, crunching the numbers and bring
Speaker 1: decades and decades of experience in the field of epidemiology
Speaker 1: and risk management and disease disease outbreak management. He is
Speaker 1: telling people right now the media's crap needs to stop.
Speaker 1: He's saying it too, and he's not. He doesn't seem
Speaker 1: like I look if I yes, I don't think doctor
Speaker 1: Faucci is a Republican. Okay, this is not a partisan thing.
Speaker 1: He's just like, stopped the games. Stop trying to create
Speaker 1: a rift between me and the commander in chief. He
Speaker 1: is saying it, don't forget it. What I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: Fauci is telling you too. So it's clearly true that
Speaker 1: they're being reckless and irresponsible at a time of maximum psychological, economic,
Speaker 1: and even physical vulnerability from the disease itself in this country.
Speaker 1: The media is being irresponsible. They're disgrace, they're disgusting. And
Speaker 1: this is why I'm happy to see in the polls
Speaker 1: that at least Republicans trust the media to give them
Speaker 1: information about this. I think it's Republicans have an eighteen
Speaker 1: percent of Republicans believe I think the media is doing
Speaker 1: a good job and being fair and covering this. That's
Speaker 1: the poll that I saw today, And I think that's
Speaker 1: eighteen percent too high. But at least a vast majority
Speaker 1: of us realized that, no, they haven't. They haven't decided
Speaker 1: to be more responsible. They haven't decided that they're going
Speaker 1: to do everything they can to put aside the games
Speaker 1: and the nonsense while the country is really in jeopardy,
Speaker 1: you know, if the nation right now, it's like we're
Speaker 1: all in the hospital and these morons in the media
Speaker 1: are showing up and saying, you know, hey, are you
Speaker 1: are you gonna have are you gonna have a party
Speaker 1: next month? You know? Or are you gonna go outside? Now?
Speaker 1: It's like, shut up and let us do what is important. Media,
Speaker 1: bring facts or clothe your mouths. That's what they need
Speaker 1: to do right now. But they won't do it. The
Speaker 1: journals won't. I'm not even talking about the opinion people.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the journalists. Thanks for listening to the
Speaker 1: Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. The
Speaker 1: total package here comes to roughly six trillion dollars, two
Speaker 1: trillion direct assistance, roughly four trillion in fellow reserve lending power. Again,
Speaker 1: it will be the largest main street financial package in
Speaker 1: the history of the United States. Liquidity and cash for families,
Speaker 1: small business, individuals, unemployed to keep this thing going. We're
Speaker 1: heading for a rough period, but it's only going to
Speaker 1: be weeks we think weeks and months, not going to
Speaker 1: be years, that's for sure, and hopefully pave the way
Speaker 1: for continued economic recovery after this crisis. Team, just a
Speaker 1: quick correction. I think I said eight trillion in the
Speaker 1: last hour, but it is six trillion totals. Still a
Speaker 1: lot of money, Still quite a pretty penny producer, Mark,
Speaker 1: do we think we could fit six trillion dollars in
Speaker 1: your new apartment if we put it in cash? I
Speaker 1: don't even know, Probably not, maybe foods, in big bills. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's like, that's a lot of money.
Speaker 1: I remember the one time in my life that I
Speaker 1: held and it wasn't my money. I held bags with
Speaker 1: very large sums of US cash in them for professional reasons,
Speaker 1: and I just remember thinking, Wow, money's heavy. Money gets
Speaker 1: heavy pretty fast. So six trillion dollars would be would
Speaker 1: be a lot of cash. That much is for sure.
Speaker 1: And that's what we're facing right now. Because we are
Speaker 1: friends Americans, countrymen, we are in a tough spot right now,
Speaker 1: there is no question. And as I go to air,
Speaker 1: we have not yet seen the passage of this massive,
Speaker 1: the largest spending bill in history. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: in dollar figures the biggest act of Congress of of all.
Speaker 1: I mean, this would be the biggest congressional action ever.
Speaker 1: So that that puts it into that puts it into
Speaker 1: perspective pretty quickly. I mean, I remember the sense of
Speaker 1: this guy is falling back in the financial crisis of
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, and now we realize, wow, that
Speaker 1: was actually not that bad. You know, we were able
Speaker 1: to deal with that one pretty quickly. The bounce back
Speaker 1: came relatively fast. So this is going to be as
Speaker 1: we all know. There's the stakes are higher and this
Speaker 1: is a more challenging situation. And you know, sure enough,
Speaker 1: this is the test we all knew it would come.
Speaker 1: It comes with every presidency, right This is the test
Speaker 1: of the Trump presidency right now. And I think the
Speaker 1: President so far is doing a good job. I cannot
Speaker 1: say it is perfect. There are areas of criticism that
Speaker 1: are legitimate, but I think the president is overall. I mean,
Speaker 1: I certainly put myself in that sixty percent that says
Speaker 1: that he has been handling this well. And I am
Speaker 1: pleased with the approach that the White House has taken
Speaker 1: so far. I am not pleased with the bull that
Speaker 1: the Democrats Today's a day when I kind of wish
Speaker 1: I could drop some drop some salty language on the air,
Speaker 1: but I can't. I'm not happy with the Nancy Pelosi Shenanigans,
Speaker 1: the malarkey of Pelosi, that is for sure, and these
Speaker 1: other Democrats who were going along with her. He mean,
Speaker 1: here's what we know about what this bill that supposedly
Speaker 1: is agreed upon, and so it's only a matter of
Speaker 1: time before they actually, you know, before this actually gets dispersed.
Speaker 1: It's one hundred and thirty billion dollars for hospitals, one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty billion dollars for state and local government,
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty billion dollars for small businesses, four
Speaker 1: months of unemployment insurance, twelve hundred dollars for adults, and
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars per child in direct cash payments. No,
Speaker 1: the payroll tax holiday, I get do we call it
Speaker 1: a holiday? I mean removing the payroll tax for a
Speaker 1: period of time. I think it's only going for employers
Speaker 1: and not for individuals. That's add they should have had
Speaker 1: it that. That just means anyway, that doesn't work. You
Speaker 1: got to do it for both or else the employer
Speaker 1: is just gonna end up taking it out of the
Speaker 1: individuals pay They won't take it out of their paycheck
Speaker 1: in the same way, but they pass on this cost
Speaker 1: to their employees. So or rather sorry, you won't get
Speaker 1: the benefit for the being an employee that you would
Speaker 1: if they had limited at both ends. I actually did
Speaker 1: that in reverse, at least I didn't think that. What
Speaker 1: was the number again that MSNBC host and Brian Williams, Gosh,
Speaker 1: Bloomberg spent five hundred million dollars, he could give a
Speaker 1: million dollars to every American. That's amazing. Nope. I do
Speaker 1: think it's also fair to ask Bloomberg will end up
Speaker 1: having spent almost a billion dollars on his campaign, and
Speaker 1: he has after promising to employ people who work in
Speaker 1: the campaign until the fall, even if even if it
Speaker 1: doesn't the camp pain obviously is over now they're not
Speaker 1: doing that. He's not keeping his word. That seems kind
Speaker 1: of gross. I also think it's worth noting that the
Speaker 1: Bloomberg camp, well, Bloomberg himself could really step up here
Speaker 1: and help out a lot of people in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways. I'm not saying he hasn't it. I might
Speaker 1: have missed something, but I haven't seen it yet. You're
Speaker 1: going to spend five hundred million dollars plus on your vanity. President. Look,
Speaker 1: he's allowed to do what he wants to do. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that this is a compulsory thing. But if
Speaker 1: I were worth sixty billion dollars right now, I would
Speaker 1: just be thinking I would be spending as much time
Speaker 1: as I had waking hours. How do I help people
Speaker 1: that are getting hurt by this right now? What can
Speaker 1: I do? Because there's a lot When you're worth billions
Speaker 1: and billions of dollars, there's a lot you can do
Speaker 1: to help out your community, a lot you can do
Speaker 1: to assist instead. Bloomberg News, for example, feels more and
Speaker 1: more like the propaganda wing of the Chinese Communist Party,
Speaker 1: which is a complete disgrace. I'll talk more about China
Speaker 1: later on. The Bloomberg is particularly bad in its coverage
Speaker 1: of all this stuff. But okay, so I told you
Speaker 1: what's what's in the bill, and there's a lot and
Speaker 1: we don't, you know, we got to read it to
Speaker 1: know what's in it. You know, the whole thing. You
Speaker 1: know how journalists tell you a thousand times a day
Speaker 1: that the president lies a thousand times a day. This
Speaker 1: has become a it's really a tick. It's it's a compulsion.
Speaker 1: Journalists will say this when they have nothing else to say.
Speaker 1: Just Trump lies, Trump lies. It's and they run all
Speaker 1: these fact checks about how Trump slide, like fifteen thousand
Speaker 1: times or something, and then I look at them and
Speaker 1: fact quote, fact check after fact check. It's Trump saying,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like the greatest or I'm the best.
Speaker 1: Not true. Trump is lying, he's not the best, Like
Speaker 1: are you little idiot children in the media. All the answers,
Speaker 1: yes they are. But Pelosi, we all know what happened here.
Speaker 1: And I was talking about this in the last hour.
Speaker 1: Pelosi is supposed to be the strategic genius. We all
Speaker 1: know what's happening, and she's not a strategic gene In fact,
Speaker 1: she's just at the point now where I think she's
Speaker 1: gotten sloppy because she knows the media and some of
Speaker 1: your like sloppy like chardonnay, no, I mean slop well,
Speaker 1: I mean sloppy like the media covers for her so
Speaker 1: quickly and so completely that she doesn't have to she
Speaker 1: doesn't get held responsible for her mistakes, for her overreach,
Speaker 1: for the things that she does, and so this is
Speaker 1: one of those moments where she would have been better
Speaker 1: off if the media wasn't completely a bunch of lapdogs
Speaker 1: for her. No offense to Lula, You're great. She's the
Speaker 1: French bulldog right now in the apartment with me, is
Speaker 1: totally asleep because she needs at least fourteen hours of
Speaker 1: sleep a day. Apparently that's that's it. I exist to
Speaker 1: feed her and to lift her up onto things that
Speaker 1: she wants to sleep on that require too much effort
Speaker 1: for her. That is why this human being exists. But
Speaker 1: the media or lapdogs for Nancy Pelosi, and that wasn't
Speaker 1: in her favor this time around because she went too far.
Speaker 1: And now she's trying to claim claim this on TV.
Speaker 1: I wonder how many fact checks will be run on this.
Speaker 1: I wonder how many journals will express their outrage at
Speaker 1: the praisingness. I mean, this is some there's lying and
Speaker 1: then they're lying. I mean, this is some next level stuff.
Speaker 1: Play clip too well. I'm not going to negotiate on TV,
Speaker 1: but the I want to have a unanimous consent. I
Speaker 1: want us to be able to go forward. And you
Speaker 1: know it's not a bill I would have written in
Speaker 1: terms of some things that relate to family medical leads
Speaker 1: that relate to worker protections, that ruling on worker protections.
Speaker 1: But we that can be done administratively. We can find
Speaker 1: other ways. Not enough money for elections, etc. At this time,
Speaker 1: all of everything we're suggesting just relates to COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1: It's not about making law for the future. It's about COVID,
Speaker 1: well except fighting COVID nineteen. It's for the future. But
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not changing policy except as it applies here.
Speaker 1: So again, many of the vote, many of the provisions
Speaker 1: in there have been greatly huh, everything in that bill.
Speaker 1: And Nancy, but you heard her. Everything in that bill,
Speaker 1: she claims relates to COVID nineteen, her version of the bill,
Speaker 1: the eleven hundred and ninety two page bill that she
Speaker 1: showed up at the last minute. And Chuck Schumer snapped
Speaker 1: to attention with the rest of the Senate Democrats and said, Nope,
Speaker 1: no cloture vote, no movement on this bill. We're going
Speaker 1: to waste more time. People are rightly very concerned about
Speaker 1: paying their bills, buying their groceries. No money in the bank,
Speaker 1: what are you doing. There's no money in the bank.
Speaker 1: People would say, all, use your credit card. What if
Speaker 1: you don't have a credit card arena, you think you're
Speaker 1: gonna get one right now, it might be a bit
Speaker 1: of a bit of a challenge you never have one before.
Speaker 1: What if you don't have a checking hand. What if
Speaker 1: you're somebody who just lives from cash paycheck to cash paycheck,
Speaker 1: as many Americans do. What exactly are they offering you?
Speaker 1: What is going on here? Why are we waiting? Why
Speaker 1: the delay? Pelosi says, it's all COVID nineteen related. That
Speaker 1: would mean you'd have to think that carbon emissions from
Speaker 1: an airline industry that's about to go bankrupt, that's about
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen making sure that they're offsetting their carbon emissions.
Speaker 1: That corporate diversity on boards or diversity on corporate boards
Speaker 1: is about COVID nineteen, same day voting, ballot harvesting, mail
Speaker 1: in voting, All these different just a wish list of
Speaker 1: liberal stuff. And then there's also the reporting that I
Speaker 1: don't think we'll ever get fully. I don't think we'll
Speaker 1: ever hear the full scope of these negotiations, but that
Speaker 1: one of the snags here was that they wanted small
Speaker 1: business funding. This was reported small business funding for planned parenthood,
Speaker 1: planned paranone has to be part of this has to
Speaker 1: be saved by the government, which just goes to show
Speaker 1: you that. I mean, the way that Theocratic Party treats
Speaker 1: planned parenthood, it's it's as though it's a branch of
Speaker 1: the Planned parenthood is a branch of the government as
Speaker 1: established in the Constitution. I mean, they're they're delusional about
Speaker 1: not just the right to abortion existing in the Constitution,
Speaker 1: but that there's some edifice of the abortion industry that
Speaker 1: is essential to our republic. I mean, they really do
Speaker 1: think this. They think that it's a symbol that planned
Speaker 1: parenthood and the abortion lobby are a symbol of liberation,
Speaker 1: women's equality, freedom, all all these different It's just obtuse
Speaker 1: and it's it's disgusting. But here we are seeing exactly
Speaker 1: where their priorities lie at this point in time. I
Speaker 1: would also note that planned parenthood in I think in
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania at this point might be happening in other places too.
Speaker 1: They always tell you why when they catch a little
Speaker 1: too much heat and people say, wait a second, will
Speaker 1: you guys, really will plan parenthood really do an abortion
Speaker 1: at you know, seven or eight months? Will they really
Speaker 1: do that. Whenever they catch too much heat because the
Speaker 1: public actually figures out what's going on, they like to
Speaker 1: fall back on this claim that abortion is only three
Speaker 1: percent of what we do, only three percent, and then
Speaker 1: we would say, well, if they'd cut out that three percent,
Speaker 1: they should be Yeah, everyone thinks that women should get
Speaker 1: mamograms and be funded for actual healthcare. So there's no
Speaker 1: problem though the three percent is the problem politically speaking,
Speaker 1: morally ethically speaking. So they've decided, do you know what
Speaker 1: the only services that Planned Parenthood in Pennsylvania is going
Speaker 1: to be offering during this shutdown. The only service not
Speaker 1: not cancer screenings, not in which they don't even they
Speaker 1: refer people out for this stuff anyway. But no, not
Speaker 1: you know, STD screening or anything that that is health related,
Speaker 1: none of that. No, no no, no. The only service they're
Speaker 1: going to continue to do is abortion. And they are
Speaker 1: being declared because there a medical facility. They are claiming
Speaker 1: the exemption that all their businesses have. So they're getting
Speaker 1: loans as a small business as as that's what the
Speaker 1: Democrats want. They want Planned Parenter to get federal dollars
Speaker 1: to make sure that they keep their staff and keep
Speaker 1: everything going and they're getting an exemption as a healthcare
Speaker 1: provider when they're not going to be providing healthcare. They're
Speaker 1: only going to be providing abortions. I know that we
Speaker 1: have a lot of things to focus on right now,
Speaker 1: but this is the the decrepit and feted soul of
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party on display for you, and they'll they'll
Speaker 1: never be able to justify this, They'll never be able
Speaker 1: to run forward. And at some point in the future.
Speaker 1: I've said it many times before, the two great moral
Speaker 1: stains on this country's history, the two great moral stains
Speaker 1: on this nation, and that we're still the greatest nation
Speaker 1: in the history of the world. And you know, I
Speaker 1: love America as much as anybody. But our two great
Speaker 1: stains will be slavery in an abortion. That is reality.
Speaker 1: But I know we have to focus more on what
Speaker 1: this bill is going to do and who it's going
Speaker 1: to help and who it's not going to help. So
Speaker 1: let me get well before I dive into that, because
Speaker 1: I have very big concerns. Do you think that Pelosi
Speaker 1: is going to be hectored by journalists over this? Do
Speaker 1: you think that they're going to chase her all around
Speaker 1: saying wait, it's all about how are windmills and solar
Speaker 1: panels related to COVID nineteen coronavirus? How is that that's
Speaker 1: what you claimed? And if it's all about it's all
Speaker 1: about coronavirus, why did you wait until the last minute
Speaker 1: to do this? We all know the answer. She's a liar.
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi is a liar. She's lying on a big
Speaker 1: issue when people are in pain. This isn't a Trump
Speaker 1: lie about how Trump stakes were the best stakes I've
Speaker 1: ever had. I mean, maybe they were, who knows, I
Speaker 1: never tried one who cares. This is a big lie.
Speaker 1: This is a lie that matters. You think she'll get
Speaker 1: anybody calling rout on this one, Think, oh, the brave
Speaker 1: journals Cooper and Tapper and I don't know who else,
Speaker 1: I mean MSNBC. Do they even have journalists they even
Speaker 1: call themselves journalists over there anymore? I don't know what
Speaker 1: they consider themselves. Think they're going to push her on
Speaker 1: this one, No, of course not. She's doing the left
Speaker 1: bidding and they all know it, so she'll just get
Speaker 1: a total pass. These people are disgraced. I mean, the
Speaker 1: American corporate media needs to be raised to the round
Speaker 1: and built anew with an entirely different ethos, with an
Speaker 1: entirely different approach. But that's a conversation that it will
Speaker 1: have to wait until we've saved the country and everything's okay.
Speaker 1: We'll get back to it at some point. I promise
Speaker 1: you're in the freedom Heart. This is the Buck Sex
Speaker 1: and Show podcast. After days of intense discussions, the Senate
Speaker 1: has reached a bipartisan agreement on a historic relief package
Speaker 1: for this pandemic. It will rush new resources onto the
Speaker 1: front lines of our nation's healthcare fight, and it will
Speaker 1: inject trillions of dollars of cash into the economy as
Speaker 1: fast as possible to help American workers, families, small businesses,
Speaker 1: and industries and make it through this disruption and emerge
Speaker 1: on the other side ready to soar. The bipartisan CHARISAC
Speaker 1: will squarely address each of the four big priorities that
Speaker 1: I laid out in my legislation at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the process about a week ago. It will rush financials
Speaker 1: to Americans through direct checks to households from the middle
Speaker 1: class on down, and through a significant and creative expansion
Speaker 1: of unemployment insurance. During this emergency. It will deliver historic
Speaker 1: relief to main Street America through hundreds of billions of
Speaker 1: dollars in emergency loans, so more small businesses can survive
Speaker 1: this and keep paying that worker. It will help secure
Speaker 1: our economic foundations and stabolize key national industries to prevent
Speaker 1: as many layoffs as possible. There's going to be a
Speaker 1: lot of good that this does, at least in the
Speaker 1: short term. And people. This is very interesting because we
Speaker 1: see here the government is the cause of I mean,
Speaker 1: the government has declares that cause the cause of the virus.
Speaker 1: But the government has declared the shutdown. So we're obeying
Speaker 1: a government mandate to not work, to not make money,
Speaker 1: to not do what we would normally do. So it
Speaker 1: is a government responsibility to provide for people while that's
Speaker 1: going on, right That's the same way, you know, if
Speaker 1: the government detained you, it's the government's responsibility to feed
Speaker 1: you and take care of your medical care and anything else.
Speaker 1: You know, they'll get detain you and say sorry, you're
Speaker 1: on your own now. So the government has told us
Speaker 1: a self quarantine, which is an effect a mass detention
Speaker 1: for a good reason. But they also need to help
Speaker 1: people keep the lights on and pay their bills. In
Speaker 1: the meantime, it's the right thing, but let's also remember
Speaker 1: it's a short term thing. There. The clock is ticking
Speaker 1: in every respect right now. We do not have and
Speaker 1: I think this is the this is the thinking on
Speaker 1: this issue that I believe is dangerous. We do not
Speaker 1: have an open ended timeline in shutdown, and we do
Speaker 1: not have an unending checkbook with which we can deal
Speaker 1: with all of this. We were all ready and this
Speaker 1: is why the trillions and trillions of dollars and by
Speaker 1: that you look at the Obama administration and what was
Speaker 1: spent not just in the rescue from the financial crisis,
Speaker 1: but just what was spent for the all eight years.
Speaker 1: You know, you had more addage to the national debt
Speaker 1: than I believe was added for it by every well,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say something that's numerically untrue, but
Speaker 1: it was certainly the most expensive presidency in the history
Speaker 1: of the country. That's that's for sure, in terms of
Speaker 1: in terms of overall dollars, more dollars spent for the
Speaker 1: eight years of the Obama administration than any other comparable
Speaker 1: period of time. You might say, well, what about World
Speaker 1: War Two? If we adjust for inflation, I mean, there's
Speaker 1: some but they spent a lot of money under the
Speaker 1: Obama administration, a lot of money, a lot, and we
Speaker 1: spend too much money in the Bush administration and going
Speaker 1: back and back and back, and now the debt is
Speaker 1: out of control. The debt matters, folks. We need to
Speaker 1: keep that in mind because we could do a final
Speaker 1: straw situation here if we keep this check writing on
Speaker 1: for too long. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson
Speaker 1: Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart
Speaker 1: Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Most importantly,
Speaker 1: the federal government will pay your salary, your full salary
Speaker 1: for now four months. We had asked for four months,
Speaker 1: and four months looks like what we're going to get
Speaker 1: when we come to this agreement. It will mean two things.
Speaker 1: Most of all, it will put money into the hands
Speaker 1: of those who need it so much because they've lost
Speaker 1: their jobs, as I said, through no fault of their own.
Speaker 1: So that is vitally important. And that will pump money
Speaker 1: into the economy, probably in a better way than anything
Speaker 1: else could do it. All right, let's assume that what
Speaker 1: they're doing right now, and there's a lot of ways
Speaker 1: that they could probably be better about this and I
Speaker 1: think that the limits from their twenty eighteen tax return
Speaker 1: the limits on this. If it takes too long to
Speaker 1: get people the money, that's a problem. So this has
Speaker 1: to be now. They've got to get these checks out
Speaker 1: this week, which is why the delay is inexcusable from
Speaker 1: Pelosi and Schumer. The partisan bull that they pulled here,
Speaker 1: and we all know what they did, and it was
Speaker 1: too obvious, it was too clear even for the media
Speaker 1: to cover for Pelosi. What does that tell you they
Speaker 1: wanted to I mean the New York Times was, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the Democrats shut down the bill. It's Republicans fault.
Speaker 1: I mean, they tried, they did may It's not like
Speaker 1: they were too ethical for this, but they're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: even our readers are like, that's kind of that's kind
Speaker 1: of come on, come on, guys. There are limits. There
Speaker 1: are even for crazy Libs. There are limits for what
Speaker 1: they're willing to believe from their own left wing news organizations.
Speaker 1: So the the dollar amounts are that's an issue. I
Speaker 1: don't mean just is it enough money for people? Depends
Speaker 1: on where you are, if you know, if you're living
Speaker 1: right now, I mean, well, we've got fantastic station out
Speaker 1: in Omaha, KFAB. If you're living in Omaha, you are
Speaker 1: going to be able to get a lot further on
Speaker 1: that twelve hundred dollars than you would listening out in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles on KiB right. And if you're living in
Speaker 1: you know, the Albany area w g Y, you're probably
Speaker 1: going to have higher expenses than if you're living out
Speaker 1: in four Win Indiana on who Woo listening on WOWO.
Speaker 1: You know, so money doesn't go the same in terms
Speaker 1: of what your expenses are around the country. But they're
Speaker 1: not even they're not adjusting its state by state. They're
Speaker 1: just saying, look, this is the check that we're sending,
Speaker 1: and here's here's what we're going to do, and the
Speaker 1: limits on this. I mean, if you made over ninety
Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars two years ago, that's there are a
Speaker 1: lot of assumptions baked into that. What if you've started
Speaker 1: a small business and you're two years into it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it's clearly imperfect. So there's a lot of ways you
Speaker 1: can pull it apart. And everyone knows that. I'm not
Speaker 1: even sure how helpful it is because Okay, well, now
Speaker 1: here's where we are and there probably will be another round.
Speaker 1: There'll be another series of bailout efforts and measures, because
Speaker 1: right now the consensus seems to be locked down. As
Speaker 1: long as we need that's what's important. And anybody who
Speaker 1: said anyone who says otherwise and is willing to accept
Speaker 1: any elevated risk whatsoever of this virus spreading, and remember,
Speaker 1: elevated risk could just be for people who aren't on
Speaker 1: lockdown and leave and work. This is what some have
Speaker 1: been suggesting. Maybe if you're if you are out of
Speaker 1: a high risk cohort and you want to go into
Speaker 1: the office or you want to be more you know,
Speaker 1: you want to open up. But it's going to be
Speaker 1: very tricky because you know, for the service industry, for example,
Speaker 1: you need people to be able to congregate. So I
Speaker 1: understand that that's and that becomes very tricky. How do
Speaker 1: you draw those lines of what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: But it's very likely there's going to be another round
Speaker 1: of check writing from the federal government. And to people
Speaker 1: who say that's not a problem and that can't result
Speaker 1: in anything really bad, I would just respond with, Okay,
Speaker 1: why doesn't the government, I mean, just do this as
Speaker 1: a thought experiment. Why does the government limited to twelve
Speaker 1: hundred dollars you know, a person, and five hundred dollars
Speaker 1: a kid. Why why not just write everyone a check
Speaker 1: for fifty grand? I mean, you could say a million,
Speaker 1: but I mean, I guess that's just everybody would realize
Speaker 1: how catastrophic that is, right, just because the numbers so
Speaker 1: high that what is a dollar worth at that point? Okay?
Speaker 1: Why not write everyone a check for maybe fifty grand?
Speaker 1: Let's say, why not write ever a check for five grand?
Speaker 1: Five thousand dollars in the federal government right now, it's
Speaker 1: not that much more than what they're already doing. Why not?
Speaker 1: Why not five grand? Well, you realize, hold on a second,
Speaker 1: what ends up happening to the dollar and what happens
Speaker 1: to the treasury treasury bonds and to the role of
Speaker 1: the dollars a reserve currency. There are still these economic
Speaker 1: realities that exist. There are still these economic pressures that
Speaker 1: are out there, and they don't go away just because
Speaker 1: we're in the midst of a pandemic. They won't change,
Speaker 1: they won't shift just because we're in really rough shape
Speaker 1: right now. Inflation doesn't care about a virus, right the
Speaker 1: collapse of the dollar doesn't care about the human suffering
Speaker 1: that's going on before or after the collapse. And if
Speaker 1: that's not a concern that I do need someone to explain,
Speaker 1: why are we being so stingy? Why not just write
Speaker 1: a check for ten grand to everybody. They're already saying
Speaker 1: they're writing for couples. It'll be what twenty four hundred?
Speaker 1: When I make a ten grand? Really help people out?
Speaker 1: Give them a few months, you know, to chill, don't
Speaker 1: worry about it right well, because the numbers matter. The
Speaker 1: numbers matter because we have an economy that is built on,
Speaker 1: at some level, an understanding of the government's ability to
Speaker 1: back up its obligations. And this is true all over
Speaker 1: the world too, that people think the United States government
Speaker 1: is good for its obligations. If that perception dramatically changes,
Speaker 1: we are in for a seismic shift in the wealth
Speaker 1: and influence of this country. And that's what a lot
Speaker 1: of us are trying to avoid. That is what people
Speaker 1: are looking at now and saying, hold on a minute,
Speaker 1: what are we what are we going to do here?
Speaker 1: If in two or three months we still haven't I
Speaker 1: want to talk about what the long term, longer term
Speaker 1: plan is, and we still haven't beaten this. The economy
Speaker 1: is still largely shut down. It's just to keep writing checks.
Speaker 1: When does that worry people? And I understand that there
Speaker 1: are some folks right now this is gaining a lot
Speaker 1: of stay home. It doesn't matter. It doesn't No one
Speaker 1: cares about the economy, No one cares about the stock market.
Speaker 1: It's just all that. This is what you're hearing from
Speaker 1: people who think that they're smart and wise. Okay, then
Speaker 1: why not just have a lack of one? Why not
Speaker 1: just accept we're being quarantined to the envor. Everybody somehow
Speaker 1: understands that quarantine like this to the end of the
Speaker 1: year would be catastrophic, and with that financial catastrophe would
Speaker 1: come untold misery, lack of access to routine medical care,
Speaker 1: lack of access to food, all the Everyone understands that.
Speaker 1: So if we know, and maybe some people don't, but
Speaker 1: they're just truly out of their minds. Although there are
Speaker 1: people like that, they're saying, we could just stay home.
Speaker 1: You have to run the experiment through in your head. Okay,
Speaker 1: then why not just let everyone stay home all the time?
Speaker 1: Stick we can just stay like this? The government can
Speaker 1: you just keep writing checks? The government can just do
Speaker 1: whatever it wants. There are pressures here from the numbers.
Speaker 1: That's why there are interest rates, there are bondholders, there
Speaker 1: are obligations all across are inordinately I mean enormously complicated
Speaker 1: financial system. And if you just say, well, the government's
Speaker 1: gonna just write checks for everybody and the amounts don't
Speaker 1: matter and the time duration doesn't matter, then you're begging
Speaker 1: for the absolute collapse of the American economy. That that's
Speaker 1: what you're really waiting for. It's going to happen, right then,
Speaker 1: we understand that, I hope. There are people right now
Speaker 1: who don't. And the moment you bring this up, they say,
Speaker 1: you just want grandma to die. That's what they're yelling
Speaker 1: at you, which is a horrible, insidious and dumb thing
Speaker 1: to say to a person that's trying to think critically
Speaker 1: and honestly about how best to tackle this nightmare that
Speaker 1: the country's in. But it's gonna get it's gonna get
Speaker 1: scary with the spending, it's gonna get scary. That's because
Speaker 1: people just they don't they don't want to believe that
Speaker 1: I want except and they don't want to make the
Speaker 1: hard decisions now about what is tolerable risk to the
Speaker 1: economy versus tolerable acceleration of risk from the growth in
Speaker 1: risk for the virus in certain parts of the country,
Speaker 1: certain populations at certain times. No one seems to be
Speaker 1: able to answer that or wants to answer that right now,
Speaker 1: and if you try, you get yelled at, which is
Speaker 1: not good. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. But to everyone who has left
Speaker 1: New York over the last few days, because of the
Speaker 1: rate of the number of cases, you may have been
Speaker 1: exposed before you left New York. And I think, like
Speaker 1: Governor de Santos has put out today, everybody who was
Speaker 1: in New York should be self quarantining for the next
Speaker 1: fourteen days to ensure that the virus doesn't spread to others,
Speaker 1: no matter where they have gone, whether it's Florida, North Carolina,
Speaker 1: or out to far reaches of Long Island. We are
Speaker 1: starting to see new cases across New across Long Island
Speaker 1: that suggests people have left the city. Yep, that's what's
Speaker 1: going on. People moving around spreads this. So those who
Speaker 1: ran for the country house, the cabin, the chateau, the
Speaker 1: relatives home, whatever it may be, might might have accidentally
Speaker 1: brought this into even more areas, which could stretch public
Speaker 1: health systems even more. This is very concerning. You have
Speaker 1: hospital systems now, remember New York is overwhelmed, well will
Speaker 1: be overwhelmed based on the numbers that they're projecting. The
Speaker 1: hospital system here, which when we have huge hospitals, they
Speaker 1: are very advanced and they, as hospitals go, are well funded.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know something about the hospital system here,
Speaker 1: and there are other parts of the country where there
Speaker 1: is far lesser access to hospitals at all. Now there's
Speaker 1: also less population density. So clearly, you know, you look
Speaker 1: at these things and try to assess what the risks
Speaker 1: are and where there's calls for real concern versus where
Speaker 1: we can manage things. But you're going to see the
Speaker 1: spread of this in a whole bunch of places all
Speaker 1: over the country that you hadn't really anticipated. They're being
Speaker 1: spread and this is why having a system in place.
Speaker 1: You know, the CUOMO was talking this morning about moving
Speaker 1: effectively focusing in federal resources for the ventilators and the
Speaker 1: personal protective equipment in one place, which right now would
Speaker 1: be New York, with the understanding that as New York
Speaker 1: brings down the curve, you can then move it to
Speaker 1: the next place, which you could be. You might be
Speaker 1: in California, might be in Florida, might be in Louisiana,
Speaker 1: might be in Texas. You know, we got to just
Speaker 1: see where it is and that's going to be logistically
Speaker 1: a challenge, but it is one way of dealing with this.
Speaker 1: You know, if you can move fifteen twenty thousand ventilators,
Speaker 1: if you can surge that to where it's needed quickly
Speaker 1: enough that maybe I'm just telling you what the Governor
Speaker 1: of New York was offering up today, a mobile surge
Speaker 1: capacity for dealing with this. That will have to happen
Speaker 1: in many parts of the country or they'll have to
Speaker 1: figure something else out, because you are going to see
Speaker 1: smaller hospital systems are already reporting in that they're overwhelmed
Speaker 1: in places that you would not expect. Because if you
Speaker 1: get you know, thirty or forty people that need ventilators
Speaker 1: in a small hospital, that is way outside of what
Speaker 1: they usually expect from a flu season or anything else,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now you've got a capacity problem. Now,
Speaker 1: I guess are moving people to other areas. And remember,
Speaker 1: whenever you're moving somebody who is suffering from COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: and especially either they're having trouble breathing, they clearly have
Speaker 1: the symptoms. They likely even if they have them in tested,
Speaker 1: know that this is what they're facing, and if you
Speaker 1: move them, you risk spreading the disease a bit. So
Speaker 1: this is where we have to start getting creative with
Speaker 1: our solutions and finding ways to make sure we do
Speaker 1: the maximum possible. We also have to note that even
Speaker 1: you know, we get enough ventilators in place, that's necessary right,
Speaker 1: that gives people a fighting chance, but the ventilators are
Speaker 1: no guarantee, and the governor's been saying that too. It's
Speaker 1: not like you get on a ventilator and the fight
Speaker 1: is likely to go your way. I think the odds
Speaker 1: are certainly in the favor of a person who gets
Speaker 1: on a ventilator soon enough, based on what we've seen
Speaker 1: so far. But there's still real cause for concern with this.
Speaker 1: I mean cause for concern is a dramatic understatement, but
Speaker 1: this is where the country is right now. We're trying
Speaker 1: to find a way to deal with this expected influx,
Speaker 1: and it is going to be it is happening. We
Speaker 1: are at the surge the surge is now. It is
Speaker 1: going on. It's definitely going to be going on here
Speaker 1: in New York City where I'm brought casting to you from,
Speaker 1: and it will be in many other places across the country.
Speaker 1: Here's something that I don't think is getting enough attention
Speaker 1: now as we consider and this is everyone's involved in this,
Speaker 1: so everyone is. It is incumbent upon all of us,
Speaker 1: especially where a lot of us are stuck at home.
Speaker 1: By the way, just also a shout out to truck drivers, longshoreman,
Speaker 1: you know, ups, postal service, you know, electric utility, water utility, sanitation.
Speaker 1: I think I might have said garbage disposal, but I
Speaker 1: know that's actually something that's under your sinc. But sanitation workers,
Speaker 1: people that pick up garbage and recycling for cities, for
Speaker 1: municipalities and counties. Thank you for doing what you are doing.
Speaker 1: You are appreciated every single day. We are we are
Speaker 1: indebted to you for what you are doing. I know
Speaker 1: this is your job and a lot of you take
Speaker 1: particular pride in doing your job. At this point in time,
Speaker 1: I've been getting your messages about that, but we really
Speaker 1: do mean it, We really thank you for this every
Speaker 1: day out there. I know people that are scared. I
Speaker 1: know people that aren't in the high risk group who
Speaker 1: are kind of scared to leave their house in New
Speaker 1: York right now. They don't want to go outside. They
Speaker 1: don't want to go outside. You can imagine going from
Speaker 1: building to building and having to take care of the
Speaker 1: city sanitation. But of course it's absolutely essential. And what
Speaker 1: would happen if in any US city all of a
Speaker 1: sudden we just had trash piling of everywhere. Not only
Speaker 1: would it be unsightly, it's a major health hazard at
Speaker 1: a time we're already dealing with the health crisis. So
Speaker 1: thank you all for what you're doing. And I don't
Speaker 1: know a lot of you listen to this show. And
Speaker 1: also doctors, nurses, first responders, police fire. You know, you're
Speaker 1: holding society together right now. You are carrying the American
Speaker 1: Republic right now on your shoulders in a way that
Speaker 1: you know, usually is left to those who are serving
Speaker 1: the military overseas and military overseas still doing what they do,
Speaker 1: and I know there's been a surge in cases for
Speaker 1: them too. So these are the people those who are
Speaker 1: not able to just stay at home and telecommute, which
Speaker 1: is necessary. You know, people have to keep doing their
Speaker 1: jobs too, and I'm not, by any means trying to
Speaker 1: minimize that. And everyone's making sacrifices different ways, but those
Speaker 1: who are still showing up for their jobs, thank you,
Speaker 1: especially those who are doing it on the security, safety
Speaker 1: and provision of essential resources side. You are keeping this place,
Speaker 1: You're keeping this country alive. I don't know. That's also
Speaker 1: where I wanted to get to. When do we think
Speaker 1: that this becomes manageable where there's not risk? I believe it,
Speaker 1: there's ay, And this is what I've been trying to
Speaker 1: get at, and I think maybe I was a little
Speaker 1: a little early with some of this. People weren't ready
Speaker 1: to hear. It doesn't mean it's not true, but there
Speaker 1: will have to come a time and we say, all right,
Speaker 1: we're going to allow more people to go out of
Speaker 1: their homes and there will still be risk. There is
Speaker 1: no future in this year where there won't be risk.
Speaker 1: Right unless someone develops a miracle cure, which no one
Speaker 1: thinks is going to happen. There's going to be risk
Speaker 1: leaving your home because we're not going to eradicate this disease.
Speaker 1: In fact, most experts believe that it will come back
Speaker 1: and that it will be cyclical and that it will
Speaker 1: be bouncing around the population and so it'll go down.
Speaker 1: And I think the warm weather is going to be
Speaker 1: very helpful, and I will talk about some causes for
Speaker 1: optimism coming up here. But when do we think it's
Speaker 1: going to be safe to work again? There will be
Speaker 1: no point and serious people need to understand this. There's
Speaker 1: not going to be a point at which anytime soon,
Speaker 1: for months and months, at which you will not be
Speaker 1: accepting an increased risk to the population from this virus
Speaker 1: by going to work and engaging in more activity. And
Speaker 1: we also know that we can't just say locked into
Speaker 1: our homes for months and months and months. So this
Speaker 1: is what we need to balance out. This is what
Speaker 1: society has to tackle, what our government and all of
Speaker 1: us have to figure out right now. We got to
Speaker 1: start establishing what the baseline is for that kind of
Speaker 1: activity and what acceptable rice will be because there is
Speaker 1: no future anytime soon in which there is no risk.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. I want to say we still
Speaker 1: have folks that aren't following the recommendations, and that ultimately
Speaker 1: hurts all of us. I'm about to do the update
Speaker 1: today of new cases, but I want to say, without
Speaker 1: identifying which one, we have a positive case today from
Speaker 1: someone who attended a corona virus party. And this is
Speaker 1: the part where II, the person to tell everybody to
Speaker 1: be calm, have to remain call myself, because anyone who
Speaker 1: goes to something like this may think that they are indestructible,
Speaker 1: but it's someone else's loved one that they are going
Speaker 1: to hurt. We are battling for the health and even
Speaker 1: the lives of our parents and our grandparents. And don't
Speaker 1: be so callous as to intentionally go to something and
Speaker 1: expose yourself to something that can kill other people. We
Speaker 1: ought to be much better than that. I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that there was such a thing as
Speaker 1: a coronavirus party. Producer Mark, had you? Had you heard
Speaker 1: about this? No? But nothing shocks me anymore. It turns
Speaker 1: out that some of the spring Breakers who were down
Speaker 1: in Florida, who were like, yeah, yeah, and they can't
Speaker 1: get carouny virus. You've read you it's like new bid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: some of them, the ones that there's a pretty famous
Speaker 1: photo now of them doing I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: if we're taking shots off the small of each other's backs.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm talking about. It's like a
Speaker 1: shot train or something like a body shot. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: they're taking body shots but off the like I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a family show, but they're on public.
Speaker 1: I mean they're clothed, but I just anyway, it turns
Speaker 1: out one of them, I don't know which one. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're identifying, but one of them has come
Speaker 1: down with COVID nineteen. Now, so even on spring break
Speaker 1: where it's warm and everyone was drinking and partying, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can still there. I mean, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: things you can catch, but they caught COVID nineteen. And
Speaker 1: that's not a surprise to anybody that was looking at
Speaker 1: this saying what are you guys doing down there? And
Speaker 1: they shut down the beaches. It's kind of a shame
Speaker 1: that they they shut things down when there are some
Speaker 1: people who comply and others who don't. Obviously, taking body
Speaker 1: shots is not complying, but there are some activities that
Speaker 1: are you know a little bit more in the Is
Speaker 1: this really like tennis is shut down now in DC,
Speaker 1: you're more than six feet away from somebody playing tennis
Speaker 1: against them. I don't know. That seems to me a
Speaker 1: little a little tough. Basketball shut down because you're going
Speaker 1: to have close physical contact playing basketball. That's here in
Speaker 1: New York City. So there's only some sports, some activities
Speaker 1: that you're approved to do right now. And it turns
Speaker 1: out that in the gym in my building, everybody did
Speaker 1: return the equipment that they took, which is kind of
Speaker 1: funny to me because I thought about borrowing that equipment too.
Speaker 1: Because I'm just a man. Quarantine bod is going to
Speaker 1: hit the buckster hard. Yeah, I'm gonna show up here
Speaker 1: in you know, a couple of months, like twenty or
Speaker 1: thirty pounds heavier with a shaved head because I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna get so sick. I can't do anything about the
Speaker 1: massive swoop. You know. I know these are dumb things.
Speaker 1: I've got friends who are complaining that they can't you know,
Speaker 1: I know ladies who say they can't get their nails done,
Speaker 1: and that's you know, annoying. I mean, these are these
Speaker 1: are the little petty things that we all know don't matter.
Speaker 1: We're not really complaining about it. But if we're gonna
Speaker 1: have a little fun with our circumstance now in quarantine,
Speaker 1: you know, this is the stuff that you just gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta roll with somehow. You got to find a
Speaker 1: way to take care of yourself and in the new
Speaker 1: with new challenges. Um. I will say that I'm trying
Speaker 1: to keep my apartment as clean as I possibly can,
Speaker 1: recognizing that, but you spend so much time in it,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's easier for things to pile up
Speaker 1: and get dirty. Plus I got a little dog running
Speaker 1: around here, though she's actually quite clean. I'm much messier.
Speaker 1: Human being is much messier than the canine in this
Speaker 1: in this context, but I don't have the luxury that's
Speaker 1: a producer Mark has, where he's able to just keep
Speaker 1: it buzzed. I do have clippers though, for the beard,
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe I just try, what do I Mark?
Speaker 1: Do it? If I put on the highest whatever it is,
Speaker 1: like a you know, probably an inch or an inch
Speaker 1: and a half guard on the clippers and I just
Speaker 1: went after it, I probably could. My parents would would
Speaker 1: you know? People would be like, what are you thinking?
Speaker 1: But I probably could shave it down right, shave the
Speaker 1: head down if I would not shave it all the way,
Speaker 1: but like give like a like a crew cut, like
Speaker 1: a trim. Yeah, I mean you could. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It sounds like it's terrible idea, but you could. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a terrible idea. But now I'm thinking, it's like,
Speaker 1: what if I live stream this just to attain people?
Speaker 1: I mean it would be great content. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it would be what do we have to change all
Speaker 1: the head shots? Like? How would that work? I know
Speaker 1: I'd look so ridiculous, but I can't look. You can't
Speaker 1: get there's no barbershops open. You can't get a haircut
Speaker 1: right now? It is you don't go to a barbershop.
Speaker 1: You go to a salon. I do not go to
Speaker 1: us salon. Excuse me, sir, I will have you it's
Speaker 1: more salon than barbershop. I'm sure this is a this
Speaker 1: is false. This is how much do you paid for
Speaker 1: a haircut? Buck? Fifty bucks? Yeah, that's that's a salon
Speaker 1: if you really want to know. Actually, I go to
Speaker 1: a let's see a producer. Nick has thoughts on this too.
Speaker 1: What's what's he telling me? I go to a hair
Speaker 1: and makeup guy from the TV news business. Who can
Speaker 1: do it? Who does it right there while the news
Speaker 1: anchors are getting ready? That's actually so I got kind
Speaker 1: of a hook up with that, but the studios are
Speaker 1: all shut down, so I can't do that anymore. So
Speaker 1: I technically don't even really. I used to go to
Speaker 1: a barber, though, a very well known barber on the
Speaker 1: Upper East Side of Manhattan. I will have you know
Speaker 1: where none of thos a yster Donald Trump used to
Speaker 1: get his haircut. He definitely goes to a salon um.
Speaker 1: I don't know who. I'd be curious though, who I look.
Speaker 1: I know this is folks. This is intentionally frivolous talk,
Speaker 1: because we can't just wallow in the in the you know,
Speaker 1: mounting tension and for some near despair right now. We've
Speaker 1: got to think about other things too. Sometimes. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know, you're gonna have a quarantine cut, quarantine cut, buck,
Speaker 1: at some point, I do think the beard going And
Speaker 1: for a lot of you right in, tell me what
Speaker 1: you're doing. I mean, I want to know what the
Speaker 1: folks are up to out there. Let me know if
Speaker 1: you're you're going to be doing your own haircut, if
Speaker 1: you're planning on making any changes. Um. I Also, I
Speaker 1: shared on Instagram, I'd made seared scallops in a brown
Speaker 1: butter herb sauce. I used chive. I probably should have
Speaker 1: used tarragon. Tarragon's very good with the I like tarragon
Speaker 1: with seafood. Also, you know, pruser Mark, what's your favorite
Speaker 1: aromatic or herb? I don't say I have one buck
Speaker 1: who has a favorite. Let's work on that. For red meat,
Speaker 1: I'm a rosemary guy, so I think a little bit
Speaker 1: of finely chopped rosemary adds a very nice little little
Speaker 1: to a red meat. But well, what are the producer
Speaker 1: mark tips for staying staying happy, healthy, insane and quarantine?
Speaker 1: What do you bring bring us into a day in
Speaker 1: the life or producer Mark out in NJA making sure
Speaker 1: that he stays safe and sound. I've gotten into a
Speaker 1: bit of a routine and I hate it. Like I'm
Speaker 1: waking up later than I normally would because I don't
Speaker 1: have to commute anywhere. So what's the point of getting
Speaker 1: up at the crack of dawn like I normally do?
Speaker 1: Then I wait for you to finally be ready after
Speaker 1: I get all the cuts. Yeah, then I do the
Speaker 1: show that does take a lot of time. I do
Speaker 1: the show, watch some TV, maybe have some lunch, play
Speaker 1: some video games. My wife will get home, make some dinner,
Speaker 1: go to bed. What is what is missus Mark? What
Speaker 1: does missus Mark do? She manages an imaging center which
Speaker 1: is staying open. Right. I thought she's medical, she's in
Speaker 1: the medical provider community. She is what she what she's
Speaker 1: saying about what her colleagues and that she's you know,
Speaker 1: doctor's office and stuff. What I'm just wondering if she
Speaker 1: have any kind of atmospherics about what's going on because
Speaker 1: there we're right here in New York City. I mean,
Speaker 1: luckily she isn't dealing with patients that are necessarily infected,
Speaker 1: but they are screening everybody before they come in, you know,
Speaker 1: since radiology is fairly important. If somebody needs, you know,
Speaker 1: a cat scan or something, they have to stay open.
Speaker 1: But if they have a fever or anything like that,
Speaker 1: they have to go wait in their car. Then they'll
Speaker 1: get screened. It's a whole process that they're doing right now.
Speaker 1: And she has to wear a mask and gloves and
Speaker 1: all that stuff all day. So it's definitely interesting times
Speaker 1: for anyone in healthcare. And I mean I am thankful
Speaker 1: she's not clinical right now, not that I wouldn't want
Speaker 1: her to be if she wanted to be, But I mean,
Speaker 1: I just my heart goes out to all those people
Speaker 1: right now that are on the front lines, and my
Speaker 1: sister law included. I know a lot of nurses and doctors,
Speaker 1: you know, I've spoken to I've spoken to some MD's
Speaker 1: in the last week. Who your friends of mine? I
Speaker 1: have a lot of her. I actually a friend number
Speaker 1: friends who went to medical school and now they're doctors
Speaker 1: in practice, and they they're worried. They're worried because they're Remember,
Speaker 1: it's all about exposure to you know, the the amount
Speaker 1: of virus. I mean, this stuff is highly complicated and
Speaker 1: it actually isn't even really understood all that well, um
Speaker 1: by by science, um. But the amount of viral exposure,
Speaker 1: the duration of viral exposure, all these things can affect
Speaker 1: not just your whether or not you get infected, but
Speaker 1: perhaps even the severity of the infection. So, you know,
Speaker 1: people that are on the front lines as healthcare providers
Speaker 1: have to be super super careful, careful about all this stuff.
Speaker 1: But I said, we're gonna we're gonna enter the the
Speaker 1: how to stay how to stay safe in saying in
Speaker 1: quarantine zone of the show instead of, you know, focusing
Speaker 1: on what can feel pretty bleak sometimes on the other side,
Speaker 1: do you guys, well, what was the show? You guys
Speaker 1: told me you both like that. I'm going to check
Speaker 1: it out. It was a manifest manifest. Oh, what do
Speaker 1: you think I would like it? I think you would.
Speaker 1: And I also did you like Breaking Bad? I loved
Speaker 1: Breaking Bad? Okay. I thought it might be the best
Speaker 1: TV show of all time. Yes, So have you seen Ozark?
Speaker 1: I think I like those are a lot. I think
Speaker 1: it's kind of a poor man's Breaking Bad. That doesn't
Speaker 1: mean it's not. Well. It comes back Friday. That's why
Speaker 1: I'm mentioning it. Mentioning it. The new season comes out
Speaker 1: no way really, which is great timing. That is good.
Speaker 1: That is good timing. I'm gonna I'm gonna binge that
Speaker 1: this weekend for sure. Also, have you you haven't seen
Speaker 1: The Last Kingdom? The Last Kingdom just came out with
Speaker 1: I think season four or maybe five, which is a
Speaker 1: great a great show about the Viking era era of expansion.
Speaker 1: So I got that one going. Does producer Mark have
Speaker 1: a book he's reading right now, producer Mark should be
Speaker 1: reading a lot more, but he's not. I was reading
Speaker 1: the Mitch Rap series before. H oh, that's the that's
Speaker 1: the movie with Tom Cruise in it, right, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I read the book. I heard the movie stunk, so yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: it was a pretty good It is pretty good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of it. Passed away recently, and
Speaker 1: I actually read a number of his books. I don't
Speaker 1: remember them at all, but I remember liking them. Was
Speaker 1: Clive Cussler, you know that guy is He writes these
Speaker 1: adventure kind of like adventure Tom Clancy novels. You know,
Speaker 1: it's somehow there's always like a navy seal who's traveling
Speaker 1: to the Sahara Desert or you know, undersea, you know,
Speaker 1: in the Marianna Trencher, you know whatever. Iver there's like
Speaker 1: all this these very contrived situations. But I remember reading
Speaker 1: cloudcause he just passed away, I think maybe a month ago,
Speaker 1: but I remember reading his books and thinking they're pretty great.
Speaker 1: And now I would be a really good time to
Speaker 1: dig into some Tom Clancy, some of Michael Crichton's best
Speaker 1: Did you ever read Jurassic Park? I didn't. That's something
Speaker 1: I would like to read though. That's a great book,
Speaker 1: like the Full you will and the book is better
Speaker 1: than the movie, which is usually true, right, but you'll
Speaker 1: appreciate the book even having seen the movie a bunch
Speaker 1: of times. The book is just way It's just an
Speaker 1: elevated level from what you have versus Yeah, but the
Speaker 1: movie was good, unlike Congo, which is another Michael Crichton
Speaker 1: book that I would recommend to people who are on
Speaker 1: quarantine lockdown right now. Congo is a great read. It's
Speaker 1: cool for you know what it is. The movie is
Speaker 1: one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the Congo movie? I have not.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. People show up there killer there are these
Speaker 1: killer gorillas that are white with red eyes, so they're
Speaker 1: like they're like, uh, you know, like polar bear gorillas
Speaker 1: with red eyes that attack people and eat them and
Speaker 1: then they try to kill and then the good guys
Speaker 1: figure out some laser based on a It's horrible. It's
Speaker 1: like the worst movie I've ever Just your description sounds terrible, yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's like the the effects are really cheesy. They
Speaker 1: have a person in a gorilla suit who's speaking using
Speaker 1: sign language. And like a little electronic. It's horrible. It's like,
Speaker 1: it's actually so bad that I think maybe it's worth watching,
Speaker 1: just so you could see how bad a movie with
Speaker 1: a pretty big budget can be. Why not just do
Speaker 1: cgi gorillas like they do in The King Cono. It
Speaker 1: would have been way better. No, this was like late.
Speaker 1: This was like ninety five or ninety six, all right,
Speaker 1: so they they went with like people in gorilla costumes
Speaker 1: or gorilla suits or whatever, and uh yeah, it did
Speaker 1: not not really work out well. No, Crichton books are amazing.
Speaker 1: Clancy books are amazing. Clive Cussler um read Harry. I
Speaker 1: never got into a Who's Who's the Client, the Rainmaker,
Speaker 1: all that like lawyer thriller stuff. John Grisham, I never
Speaker 1: read a John Grisham book. Maybe now is the time.
Speaker 1: I think my mother liked those back in the day.
Speaker 1: I don't remember them. Do you ever read a Stephen
Speaker 1: Kingwe No? I don't like horror that genre. Oh I
Speaker 1: mean I have that book. I didn't know if that
Speaker 1: would be something you would do, would give a try to.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm got I got plenty of books. But
Speaker 1: the problems I have to read so much about coronavirus
Speaker 1: these days that I feel like reading itself, I might
Speaker 1: have to get a PlayStation four sent to me. I think,
Speaker 1: if we're gonna be a lockdown, my I have one already.
Speaker 1: My call of duty skills will become legendary. Just give
Speaker 1: it time. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sex and Show podcast team. As I've been saying
Speaker 1: now more than ever, the connection that we have is
Speaker 1: just so necessary and so appreciated by me, and I
Speaker 1: hope you feel the same way. People are in quarantine.
Speaker 1: They're getting tired of watching the news all day. And
Speaker 1: it's nice too. It's nice to give your eyes a rest.
Speaker 1: I find that that's really the case for me at least,
Speaker 1: and so listening to things it still allows you to
Speaker 1: cook dinner, clean up a little bit, do a little
Speaker 1: bit of admin work, or you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: do a puzzle. Whatever you've got going on. Listening but
Speaker 1: not watching can give your eyes a little bit of
Speaker 1: a rest some time. So that's where that's my pitch
Speaker 1: for podcasting. And if you have a friend who is
Speaker 1: in quarantine right now, which I mean a third of
Speaker 1: the country is in quarantine, please do say hey, you
Speaker 1: know just send them. You can send them the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show in an email, a text message. It's on
Speaker 1: the Apple Store. It's in the Apple stores, we know
Speaker 1: under podcasts, also on the iHeartRadio app Spotify. Any of
Speaker 1: you who have Modify, you can not just listen to
Speaker 1: the show yourself, but you can just say hey, and
Speaker 1: you share it with a friend of yours. So you
Speaker 1: you're the one spreading spreading the word about this show.
Speaker 1: And I greatly I mean it from the bottom of
Speaker 1: my heart. I really do appreciate it every day and
Speaker 1: it's it's an honor to have such an amazing audience
Speaker 1: as as I do. So all right with that, we'll
Speaker 1: get to a roll call Facebook dot com slash buck
Speaker 1: Sexton in case you didn't know, or our email address,
Speaker 1: and I would love and tell me, you know, bright
Speaker 1: roll call, you know, roll call first timer or roll
Speaker 1: call I don't know. We'll think of something something cool
Speaker 1: for people that are you know, I guess first timers.
Speaker 1: That's the word that comes to mind. But I'd love
Speaker 1: to hear from some people that they haven't written in
Speaker 1: before and they're just saying, you know, and you can.
Speaker 1: Producer Mark loves the two or three line role call messages.
Speaker 1: Don't think that that's those are not welcome. I mean
Speaker 1: the slightly longer ones are fine too, But we love
Speaker 1: you know, three four lines. Hey, what's up? Here's my
Speaker 1: question or here's my thought? You know shields High. That's great.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be a book that You're right.
Speaker 1: It could take you fifteen seconds to do this, but
Speaker 1: we'd love to hear from as many of you as possible,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get to a lot of this. Also,
Speaker 1: I did another Facebook live yesterday, so if you want,
Speaker 1: that's on Facebook dot com slashbuck Sexton and you can
Speaker 1: join me on that whenever you like. I'll let you
Speaker 1: know when we're into the next one. Depends on what
Speaker 1: Tallulah is up for, because she can be very very
Speaker 1: snooty about doing Facebook live. She's like, this is not
Speaker 1: a good angle for me. Where's my hair and makeup people?
Speaker 1: I'm her hair and makeup people. It's gotta make sure
Speaker 1: she's clean, all right. Joe, Hey, Buck love your show.
Speaker 1: Have recently added it to my daily podcast regimen. Yesterday
Speaker 1: you were thanking people who still show up to work
Speaker 1: and keep our country moving. As a proud postal employee
Speaker 1: and a staunch conservative, A rare thing. I know. I
Speaker 1: would like to say, no thanks needed. I love my
Speaker 1: job of twenty six years and appreciate the living it
Speaker 1: has provided. All I would like to ask is when
Speaker 1: this is over it can people lay off the privatization talk.
Speaker 1: I think there are things that Post Office can do
Speaker 1: in these times of crisis, especially publicly held during nine
Speaker 1: to eleven and the anthrax crisis. People showed up to
Speaker 1: their job when we really didn't know how widespread of
Speaker 1: an attack it was. And today we have people at
Speaker 1: window counters facing people every day that are at high risk.
Speaker 1: It seems like when times are good and no crisis
Speaker 1: were an easy punching bag for some shields high. Thank
Speaker 1: you for all you do, Joe, A very well made
Speaker 1: and very appreciated point here. First of all, I know
Speaker 1: you're saying no thanks needed, but we are thanking you,
Speaker 1: and it would really add to everyone's anxiety and feelings
Speaker 1: of dread if they knew that they weren't able to
Speaker 1: get mail, or if mail was you know, dramatically delayed
Speaker 1: and you couldn't get bills, you couldn't get packages, and
Speaker 1: so people are so used. I do most of my
Speaker 1: personal shopping, i'd say I do. I'd dide my personal
Speaker 1: shopping virtually going into a store. I'm talking a pre
Speaker 1: pandemic going into a store or something I rarely do.
Speaker 1: The only exception is for food and drug stores if
Speaker 1: I need something quickly. But other than that, I do
Speaker 1: I shop one. I get my books, I get my clothing,
Speaker 1: I get you know, anything I need for the home online.
Speaker 1: I really don't mess around with a lot of in
Speaker 1: person stuff. So that means that we need a delivery system,
Speaker 1: and that's the post office is a big part of that.
Speaker 1: So thank you, sir for what you're doing. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to the Busts and Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe
Speaker 1: on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. Doug Hello, buck Liar. Small businesses expected to
Speaker 1: cover their rental costs when the government shuts them down.
Speaker 1: It should be the property owners that seek relief from
Speaker 1: government and not small businesses making rent. Rent should be waived.
Speaker 1: My town has six landlords that own most of the downtown.
Speaker 1: Why put the onus on the seventy five small businesses.
Speaker 1: The government has said that these properties are deemed on
Speaker 1: usable Doug, it's a I think it's an entirely fair point.
Speaker 1: I guess they're just taking the prospect of they're just
Speaker 1: going to get as much money to as many people
Speaker 1: as they can. But you know, but I see, I
Speaker 1: know that the property owners in some cases would say, look,
Speaker 1: we have very large you know, mortgage payments and service
Speaker 1: payments to meet, and if we just if no one
Speaker 1: gives us rent, we're going to promise too. But the
Speaker 1: response to that would be, well, then the governments should
Speaker 1: step in at that level instead of at the small
Speaker 1: business level. But Doug, there's no perfect answers. There's no
Speaker 1: perfect solution. And I'm not saying that as like a
Speaker 1: you know, tomato tomato, you know, who cares. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: you're right, that would seem to work too, and that
Speaker 1: might seem to be a better way to do all
Speaker 1: of this. But I don't have an answer for us
Speaker 1: to why the government didn't take that approach. I'm sure
Speaker 1: they have their reasoning for this, but look, this is
Speaker 1: a desperate rescue package. This is not something that they've
Speaker 1: spent years figure out, and there are clearly clearly going
Speaker 1: to be shortcoming. There are shortcomings enter that that's baked
Speaker 1: into this thing. So I hear you. I hear you
Speaker 1: on small businesses and the concern that small businesses have
Speaker 1: about making rent, and how that's not really seeming to
Speaker 1: be that reflected in this in this package, not as
Speaker 1: as immediately as perhaps it should. And this is what
Speaker 1: I keep telling people also. Okay, so if you if
Speaker 1: your business is shut down and they give you some
Speaker 1: money to make payroll, if your business rent is I
Speaker 1: don't know, five thousand dollars a month, and when we're
Speaker 1: shut down for the next three months, you go back,
Speaker 1: You go back on. Okay, you've got employees, But where's
Speaker 1: that fifteen thousand dollars going to come from? Is there
Speaker 1: anybody really the Governm's going to write checks for all
Speaker 1: that too? I mean, you're going to start to get
Speaker 1: your point here. Where is the government the economy or
Speaker 1: is the government administrating an economy that is the American people.
Speaker 1: We know that it's supposed to be the second thing,
Speaker 1: but increasingly it's going to look like the first thing.
Speaker 1: Chris Buck and producer Mark I've been listening to your
Speaker 1: show every day on iHeart podcast for the last several
Speaker 1: months and share it with anyone who I think will listen.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Chris. We really appreciate that I
Speaker 1: just lost my job days ago because the small startup
Speaker 1: company I was working for is not positioned to make
Speaker 1: it through this kind of economy. I will be surprised
Speaker 1: if they still exist in two months. Say a prayer
Speaker 1: for me and my family, along with everyone else for
Speaker 1: that matter. I'm one of these folks that my twenty
Speaker 1: eighteen looked great, but I need something now, and I
Speaker 1: don't qualify as the aid is being distributed right now.
Speaker 1: Shield time, brother, Chris, hearts go out to you, man. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: this is the circumstance that I've been concerned about. People
Speaker 1: that work for startups or small companies that are just
Speaker 1: barely making payroll as it is. They're going to go
Speaker 1: under because of this. And just because you had a
Speaker 1: pretty good twenty eighteen doesn't mean that you've got money
Speaker 1: to cover bills now. Chris, we hear you, man. Just
Speaker 1: hang in, you and your family. You hang in, keep
Speaker 1: in touch with all of us. You know, if you
Speaker 1: can on social reach out, see if some members a
Speaker 1: Team Bucker in your area and they might have some
Speaker 1: ideas for jobs. You know, leverage this network. I mean
Speaker 1: people have got people have gotten jobs because of this show,
Speaker 1: people have gotten married because of this show. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know these things for a fact, so always think
Speaker 1: about that. I mean, this is a you know, this
Speaker 1: is a community of people who are engaged in an
Speaker 1: activity every day that brings them up to speed on
Speaker 1: information and hopefully has some substantial entertainment value. But also
Speaker 1: other people that listen to this that's that's a commonality.
Speaker 1: It's the same reason why when people listen to this.
Speaker 1: When people know me from the TV that I do,
Speaker 1: which I do less now than I used to. I'm
Speaker 1: mostly focused on radio, but I still do TV. Sometimes
Speaker 1: people know me from TV. Look, yeah, I know the
Speaker 1: guy from TV. If they're Team Buck. If they listen
Speaker 1: to the show every day, they see me, they know
Speaker 1: one want them to come up and talk to me. Well, now, assa,
Speaker 1: they can hug me. These days, we're not really hugging
Speaker 1: as much. But you guys would all be cleared for
Speaker 1: a hug if we weren't worried about a pandemic. But
Speaker 1: I can always tell the difference and someone it's excited
Speaker 1: and they know instinctively. Yeah, if I see Bucks somewhere
Speaker 1: and I want to go up and talk to him.
Speaker 1: He'll be not only are you're welcome, I'll be happy.
Speaker 1: I'll be like, oh great, what's going on? Talk to me?
Speaker 1: You know that that always is, That's always the way
Speaker 1: I feel, And everyone who listens to this radio show knows.
Speaker 1: I'm just bringing that up because you know, if you
Speaker 1: find people in your area who listen to this show
Speaker 1: and you say, hey, can you guys help me out?
Speaker 1: I just know there's a spirit of brotherhood, sisterhood, camaraderie,
Speaker 1: shared patriotism, shared decency that is so such a binding
Speaker 1: a binding agent for this audience that if you reach
Speaker 1: out to them and say, hey, this is a situation,
Speaker 1: somebody may really surprise you. Somebody may really be able
Speaker 1: to help. I know that, you know a lot of
Speaker 1: people listen to this show who are business owners, A
Speaker 1: lot of people who are very impressive in their fields
Speaker 1: or just have great rolodexes might be able to sist
Speaker 1: you with any number of things. So I'm just putting
Speaker 1: that out there as an option right now, because I
Speaker 1: know we're all Also, because all virtual, right, you can't
Speaker 1: really go out and pound the pavement. You got to
Speaker 1: pound the keyboard so see if Team Buck can help out,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe post and post online to some other
Speaker 1: people that you know who are involved with the freedom hunt.
Speaker 1: Duke Hi Buck from New Zealand. Here, there are still
Speaker 1: fewer than one hundred and fifty cases of the wuhan virus.
Speaker 1: As I'm writing this. We will be in lockdown as
Speaker 1: of midnight tonight. Most of the time, I do not
Speaker 1: agree with our current government. This time, I believe it
Speaker 1: is the correct path for our country. Lockdown here is
Speaker 1: everyone is in isolation and all businesses close except for
Speaker 1: essential ones. Keep up the good work well, Duke. I
Speaker 1: mean that just goes to show you New Zealand's on
Speaker 1: the other side of the world from America. Although Kiwis
Speaker 1: are awesome people, kiwis Aussie's. I think my get along
Speaker 1: ratio with Kiwi's and Aussie's is like plus ninety percent
Speaker 1: in generals. Am I gonna say it's probably higher than
Speaker 1: Americans because of all the Libs that I have to
Speaker 1: deal with. I'm just saying kiwi an off season's politics.
Speaker 1: Yeah whatever, you know, I don't really care so at
Speaker 1: least the ones that I've met. Anyway, back to what
Speaker 1: you're saying here, Duke. Yeah, I think the lockdown situation,
Speaker 1: I don't see a way around it. At least in
Speaker 1: the short term. You've got at least get your health
Speaker 1: capacity up in all these different countries to try to
Speaker 1: fight this. India is now increasingly on lockdown. India also
Speaker 1: has shut us off from our flow of chloroquin pharmaceuticals
Speaker 1: from them, folks. You know, for years and years a
Speaker 1: lot of pio. Trump was one of the biggest voices
Speaker 1: on this before he was president, warning about we need
Speaker 1: domestic manufacturing. This is a natural security issue. We need
Speaker 1: access to we need you know, domestic energy. We can't
Speaker 1: rely on foreign partners for critical country and life sustaining needs.
Speaker 1: And now we are now we are in this situation
Speaker 1: that people who were making that case we're trying to
Speaker 1: raise to our attention. Sure enough, we got problems right
Speaker 1: because we don't have manufacturing. Now. Look, Bayer, I think
Speaker 1: down in I forget whether I think it's in one
Speaker 1: of the Carolinas, but Bayer's ramping up production of chloroquin.
Speaker 1: There's some information today about you know, and I wanted
Speaker 1: to tell you about the good news, the good news,
Speaker 1: and I know that I forgot about that there's some
Speaker 1: indication from one study that chloroquin doesn't really do all
Speaker 1: that much, but it's not an official study, so who know,
Speaker 1: you know, we just don't know yet. So we're in
Speaker 1: a wait and see. We're in the official line right
Speaker 1: now for me to all of you is we are
Speaker 1: in wait and see on chloroquine, and we are hopeful
Speaker 1: that's where we are. But on the good news side
Speaker 1: of things, the mutation of this virus seems to be
Speaker 1: pretty slow from what they're seeing, which means that a
Speaker 1: vaccine would be likely long lasting and effectively permanent if
Speaker 1: we get one. And also the warm weather is coming
Speaker 1: and it looks likely that that will that will help
Speaker 1: dampen the spread of the virus itself. And the Dow
Speaker 1: surge over two thousand points yesterday, which is good, but
Speaker 1: any stock market and move. Stock market moves are really
Speaker 1: just a reflection of sentiment that day. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: that anybody could start to be too happy because the
Speaker 1: stock market could go down, you know, a thousand points,
Speaker 1: two thousand points tomorrow, as we all know. But those
Speaker 1: are all good, those are all good indicators, good things
Speaker 1: to look at at this point in time. Jeff Right, Hey,
Speaker 1: buck Trucker. Jeff here, listen to Monday's podcast. I want
Speaker 1: to tell you my wife's a nurse and she's off
Speaker 1: right now. She had to have a surgery. But she's
Speaker 1: heard some of the other nurses complaining there that they
Speaker 1: want to stop going to work because there's not enough protective,
Speaker 1: protective equipment for them. They're scared and mad. Yeah, Jeff,
Speaker 1: that's I'm hearing some of that too, where even medical
Speaker 1: medical providers are saying like, Okay, we're willing, we're willing
Speaker 1: to take some degree of risk, but we're not going
Speaker 1: to show up and treat COVID nineteen patients with no gloves,
Speaker 1: no masks, and no ventil ventilators to put them on.
Speaker 1: Even if we can figure it out, right, they you
Speaker 1: need to give them the tools. The same thing. Look,
Speaker 1: if you have somebody in the military, they sign up
Speaker 1: and you say all right, you know, go go defeat
Speaker 1: the Nazis, and they say, all right, where's my rifle,
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you know the best you can. We're
Speaker 1: not giving out rifles this time. We don't have any.
Speaker 1: That's not how we do things here. If we're looking
Speaker 1: at this as a war analogy with a fight against
Speaker 1: this virus. We got to give our frontline personnel the tools,
Speaker 1: the weapons, if you will, against this virus that they need.
Speaker 1: And that's where I mean. We're seeing American manufacturing right
Speaker 1: now ramp up. We've seen some of the great names
Speaker 1: of American industry and commerce, you know, general motors. For
Speaker 1: those of you that are big Tesla fans, Tesla sends
Speaker 1: that they're stepping up here. So there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people that are doing stuff right now to be as
Speaker 1: helpful as I can. Ah, Mike, Mike Lindell, my pillow founder.
Speaker 1: I know Mike a little bit. They're making masks now,
Speaker 1: my pillows making masks, send them across the country. So
Speaker 1: people are really stepping up. Paul writes Buck the article
Speaker 1: by Professor John Ianitis was eye opening. We could probably
Speaker 1: go on with business as usual with a warning to
Speaker 1: the more susceptible folks about the risk. Voluntarily testing some
Speaker 1: people using a random sample method might be a good idea.
Speaker 1: We may be in a lot of trouble if we
Speaker 1: don't get back to normal soon. On another note, how
Speaker 1: can we figure out if a governor has the authority
Speaker 1: to tell us to stay home? Thank you for your
Speaker 1: hard work, Paul. This is all very complicated, right, it's
Speaker 1: all very tough. What do we really think the number
Speaker 1: is for not just spread of the disease, but for mortality.
Speaker 1: No buddy really knows. Nobody really knows. We have a
Speaker 1: lot of competing estimates. There's a piece in the Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal from a couple of other Stanford medical researchers
Speaker 1: and people that know epidemiology very well, and they're saying
Speaker 1: that based on the data that we have, it is
Speaker 1: likely this according to wallstret Journal editorial, so you know,
Speaker 1: this is on the opinion pages, but they're saying that
Speaker 1: it is probably if you look at all the infections
Speaker 1: and then the number of people that have died from this,
Speaker 1: it's probably orders of magnitude less lethal than what we
Speaker 1: were It already is orders less lethal than what we
Speaker 1: were told in the very beginning, which was three to
Speaker 1: five percent. That was scaring the crap out of people. Rightly,
Speaker 1: this is more looking like it's going to be one percent,
Speaker 1: point five percent something. Now, I remember point five would
Speaker 1: be five x the flu, so that's still high. But
Speaker 1: one percent is a lot better than five percent, and
Speaker 1: point five percents good bit better than one percent got
Speaker 1: gotta focus on the math. I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's my sense is that we should be prepared in
Speaker 1: a few weeks. And this is what. This is what
Speaker 1: a lot of libs on the social media are getting
Speaker 1: angry at me for even suggesting in a few weeks
Speaker 1: we should probably try to lessen some of the business
Speaker 1: and commerce restrictions, but absolutely keep vulnerable populations sequestered home,
Speaker 1: you know, as safe as possible. Get them whatever assistance
Speaker 1: they need, pay whatever bills need to be paid for them.
Speaker 1: The government's gonna have to break out the checkbook for that.
Speaker 1: But I just want the problem with waiting, and I'll
Speaker 1: say this, and I should have said it before. The
Speaker 1: problem waiting until it's clear to everybody that this is fine,
Speaker 1: this is economically unsustainable is when it's clear to everybody
Speaker 1: we're already in a depression and it's too late. That's
Speaker 1: what they don't get. You're in the hut. This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right, more roll call
Speaker 1: here with Katie kicking us off. Hey, Buck, I totally
Speaker 1: agree with you. When they said flattened the curve, I
Speaker 1: knew it would also widen the curve. This might keep
Speaker 1: facilities from being too crowded, but it never guarantees that
Speaker 1: people will not get the virus eventually. I don't understand
Speaker 1: the long term goal or plan. Yeah, this is the
Speaker 1: concern that a lot of us have if they mean, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I understand if you overwhelm the health facilities, you'll have
Speaker 1: people dying in larger numbers because they can't get any care. Fine,
Speaker 1: So that's why I've said fifteen days. I get it.
Speaker 1: But we also need to understand that there is no
Speaker 1: total safety from this virus if we're interacting in society
Speaker 1: at all, and it's not possible to have no interaction
Speaker 1: in society and maintain are our economic people I say
Speaker 1: economic system, And there's this tendency to think stock Moore
Speaker 1: good four oh one K. This is what the Libs
Speaker 1: keep being. You know, people that are rich one to stay.
Speaker 1: They're really rich. People have already gone to their private
Speaker 1: islands and they've already gone to their you know, you know,
Speaker 1: their hideaways, and they've stacked up enough food and they
Speaker 1: don't care at all. So this is the people that
Speaker 1: get hurt by a shutdown economy are not rich people.
Speaker 1: This is a lie. This is what everyone needs to
Speaker 1: remember it's the people that are worth fifty one hundred million,
Speaker 1: a billion, ten billion, whatever it may be, people who
Speaker 1: are actually rich, not people who make one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year. They're not rich. The people who are
Speaker 1: actually rich are going to be fine economically, assuming the
Speaker 1: dollar doesn't collapse and there's not a complete reset of
Speaker 1: the economy that way. The people that are hurt are
Speaker 1: working people, those who are working paycheck to paycheck, and
Speaker 1: you need the money. In an imediate sense. Shutting down
Speaker 1: the economy is crushing them. It's not crushing you know,
Speaker 1: lib journals who worked for the Washington Post or the
Speaker 1: New York Times, or they're working from home. They're just
Speaker 1: you know, typing away in their computers, drinking soy. Latte's
Speaker 1: talking about how evil anybody is that wants to avoid
Speaker 1: a depression, right, I mean that's they're fine with it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wonder what their attitude will be like when they
Speaker 1: go to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, not only there are no you know, Green
Speaker 1: Team matchup powder on the shelves, there's no milk, there's
Speaker 1: no bread, there's no food. Really, now you could say, Buck,
Speaker 1: that won't happen. Oh yeah, what goes on if if
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we have this continuation here and
Speaker 1: you have a true financial crisis, a credit crisis. What
Speaker 1: happens if inflation kicks in? Does anyone think that the
Speaker 1: countries that have gone through economic nightmares were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go, let's do that. That sounds like a good idea. No,
Speaker 1: it happened to them because of decisions that were made
Speaker 1: and once they realized that it was too late. But
Speaker 1: I don't know what's right now. Now we'll just we'll
Speaker 1: just all say lockdown. We'll all stay lockdown for a year.
Speaker 1: What could happen? We don't need to worry about anything, like,
Speaker 1: we'll just stay lockdown for a year. This is this
Speaker 1: is kind of the left wing mentality that I'm seeing now,
Speaker 1: is if that won't have catastrophic consequences to life and
Speaker 1: to health. It's not about it's not about people's stock accounts.
Speaker 1: Not even I don't even care about people's stock accounts.
Speaker 1: All right, Joanne. I think we should treat the Wuhan
Speaker 1: virus and the economy the same way we were trained
Speaker 1: to do damage control in the Navy. The number one
Speaker 1: thing during a fire or flooding is to save the ship.
Speaker 1: Of course, you try to get every sailor out of
Speaker 1: the spaces, but when it's time to dog down the hatches,
Speaker 1: it's over. Never had to experience that, only saw it
Speaker 1: in the movies. The economy is the ship, and we
Speaker 1: need to save it. No, I mean, Joanne, this is
Speaker 1: a point of view that the people are expressing, taking
Speaker 1: into account that we are already losing people this virus.
Speaker 1: We will continue to lose people from this virus. We
Speaker 1: are mitigating risks from this virus. There's no zero there's
Speaker 1: no people are not going to die if only we
Speaker 1: give up the account. To me, it's people are dying.
Speaker 1: And how much risk are we willing to accept of
Speaker 1: additional death if we do more economic activity. I don't know.
Speaker 1: No one thinks of it this way, but that is
Speaker 1: what happens in the world all the time. That's what
Speaker 1: happens with driving, It's what happens with what pharmaceuticals you
Speaker 1: can take. It is all about balancing out risk. We
Speaker 1: know one. The government does not promise anyone a zero
Speaker 1: risk existence, does not promise anyone zero risk. Do their
Speaker 1: health it can't, and so government policy can't be made
Speaker 1: on if it saves just one life, I mean, okay,
Speaker 1: it would save it would save just one life. If
Speaker 1: we banned all driving, it would save thousands of lives,
Speaker 1: actually tens of thousands of lives. Does anyone want to
Speaker 1: make that? Kay? The President said this. There's a reason
Speaker 1: he said it, and people go, oh no, it's illustrating
Speaker 1: the point. All right, team, that's it for today. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for I kind of went at length
Speaker 1: there my bed. Thank you so much. Please download the podcast.
Speaker 1: Tell your friends we'll be back here tomorrow. We're all
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, watch a movie, listening to a good song.

Speaker 1: here for you every day. Shields High,
