WEBVTT - Batten Down The Hatches 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:16.280 You are entering the freedom hunt. The COVID nineteen surge 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.480 is here, and it threatens to sweep across the rest 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:21.800 of the country soon. We'll talk about how much of 0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:24.000 the US now is under lockdown, much of the world 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:27.640 under lockdown, How is the race to get ventilators going 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.760 here in the city and across the country. Plus we'll 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.280 talk about the eight trillion dollars that Larry Cudlow says 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.720 is going out with this new rescue package and everything 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:39.880 else he needs to know about what's going on right now. 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.400 Coming up on the Buck Sexton Show. Bucks Sextons coding 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:51.360 the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence, magnor mistake 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.400 a great American Again, This is the Bucks Sexton Show. 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:01.480 The CIA analysts you can speak to three hours without 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:10.600 a phone call. Try doing that. Sometimes we have to 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.360 put the country to work, Cliff, He'll lose a number 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.360 of people to the flu, but you're gonna lose more 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:20.360 people by putting a country into a massive recession or depression. 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:25.160 You're gonna lose people. You're gonna have suicides by the thousands, 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.679 You're going to have all sorts of things happen. You're 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.240 gonna have instability. You can't just come in and say, 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.000 let's close up the United States of America, the biggest, 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:37.880 the most successful country in the world by far. Welcome 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:41.520 to the buck Sex and show everyone we are now 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:45.839 in week two of quarantine. We are I think, eight 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.840 days away, seven days away from the fifteen days to 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.200 stop the spread. We have all the updates for you 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.880 on where this stands in different cities, counties across the country, 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.920 what hospitals are already starting to feel the strain, what's 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.200 going on around the world, what the Chinese government is 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:06.120 saying about this. The package that looks like as I 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:10.120 go to air is going to pass soon, although how 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.320 soon I can't quite tell you. It maybe may already 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.880 be through by the time you hear this. But there's 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.720 agreement they've said on this. Two trillion dollars of direct 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.480 cash payments and then six trillion dollars of injection lending 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:28.760 into the economy, the fed by the federal government. And 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.480 so now we have to look at what the status 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.880 is of this effort to get ahead of our of 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.120 this pandemic, and how are we doing with regard to that. 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.640 And I'm also going to promise you right now We're 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:46.079 going to take a little bit more of a deep 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:47.919 breath at least in the third hour of the show. 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.240 We got to talk about just how things are going. 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.520 We can just allow ourselves. And this is not just 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.600 for me. As I'm doing this show, I'm doing four 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.320 hours radio day. It's mostly coronavirus all the time. It's 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.359 the biggest story in the world. Knowing doubts that it's 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.280 far and away the most important issue facing humanity right now. 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.600 It's not a political issue, it's not a national security issue. 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.480 It's an everything issue all together. But we'll try to 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.880 take a collective deep breath later on in the show, 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.359 and just I'll share with you some things I'm reading, 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.840 some things I'm seeing talking to folks. We need that 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.560 sense of community. You are my community right now. I 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.120 do not get to see anyone else. So the team 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:29.560 matters in a way that is unprecedented in that sense, 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.240 because I rely on all of you for human human 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.440 connection and contact with the outside world. As I am 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.480 here behind pandemic lines in the middle of New York City, 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.400 the place that is the worst hit of anywhere in 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:44.640 the country and has the third most confirmed cases of 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:49.200 any area of similar size, in the world. So this 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.440 is very troubling. Well, the US, I think is number 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.400 three on the overall list. I'd have to check and 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.480 see where just New York alone is. But you have 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.360 a mass of spike here in cases. But you notice 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.000 the president yesterday, he did a virtual town hall, he 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.800 did a press conference, and you can basically count the 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.080 hours until you start to see certain members of the 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:16.440 media who are not going to lessen any of their 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.480 partisanship right now. You can basically count down until they 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:24.159 start saying that Trump, doctor Fauci, they're spending too much 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.359 time in forming the public. That's what we'll be told, 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.520 that they're doing too much of this press conference stuff. 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.440 And you know what a large part of that push 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.360 will be, assuming that it happens, I think you'll start 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.919 to see media criticism of is this the best usage 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.040 of Trump's time? Is this the best usage of doctor 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.760 Fauci's time? And remember this comes days after Fauci wasn't 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.240 at one press conference, wasn't at one of these task 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.120 force meetings that they've been holding where they answer questions 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.520 and tell people what's going on and where's doctor Fauci? 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.600 Became this trending issue where's doctor Fauci. People were very, 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:01.040 very concerned all of a sudden, and I think it's 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.719 because the ability that the president has to connect with 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.200 the American people to show some command of the situation, 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.919 to show us that he's doing everything that he reasonably 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.080 can right now to keep as many of us safe 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.680 as possible and yes, get us back to economic activity 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.240 as soon as possible. That means that the president, that 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:26.080 perception has meant the President is now doing well in 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.599 terms of public approval. And I do think that most 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:34.680 of the liberal media, you know, they are focused more 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.359 on getting past us. I'm not going to say that 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.160 they're acting like complete monsters. I think they want us 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.919 to get past this with minimum loss of life. But 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.479 they also, as a secondary concern, for sure, want to 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.360 make sure that this is the end of Donald Trump, 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.000 that this is the end of his administration, that's this 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.479 destroys him, this defeats him, and that they can just 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.640 push Joe Biden. Who I mean, really, after three years 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.800 of having Democrats talk about how, you know, Trump isn't 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.240 smart enough, he's not good enough, he's not this, he's 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:08.240 not that, and now to see them push this really 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.480 a sort of doddering old man. I mean, somebody who 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.440 really looks like he is in no way up for 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:19.960 this and does not inspire confidence, does not in any 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.719 way make people think that he's got a command of 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:28.279 the situation. That's just crazy. But this is what they're 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.320 telling us now. Oh, if Joe Biden was in charge, 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.080 you've noticed that he's faded in the background a little bit. 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.520 And because New York is the front line of this 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.240 battle right now, and because Governor Cuomo has been holding 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:44.360 press conferences every day, he's certainly the Democratic figure that 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:49.680 is getting the most attention in this fight, and people 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.560 are asking questions. I'm just gonna say it. There are 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.280 folks out there who are raising why is it that 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:00.279 we're all supporting Biden? You know why? Why? And we 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.560 go with Cuomo from the Democrats side I'm talking about now. 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.680 But I'm seeing this start to happen, and I just 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.960 bring it up because Biden just doesn't have it, folks. 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.880 He's not Yeah, maybe he's the nominee, but m doesn't 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.280 look like he can get it done. But let's get 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.800 back into where we are with this fight against the virus. 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.360 The President said that we have to be concerned about 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.520 a depression that will lose more people to recession depression 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.480 than coronavirus. And this is what I've been trying to 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:32.680 talk to for a while now. And there's a very 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:37.600 clear movement, particularly online and among some opinion journalists and 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:42.480 bloggers and Hollywood types to suggest that anybody who is 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:48.080 not completely on board for an open ended lockdown of 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:53.160 the economy is throwing Grandma under the bus or off 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.360 the cliff, only cares about their four one K. This 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:02.120 is disgusting, it's bad faith, it's not true. And the 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.120 people that are looking at all the numbers and have 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.360 the access to the best information right now are saying, 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.520 we do have to make sure that we don't let 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.520 the economy get too bad, and there will be difficult 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:17.000 choices here ahead. I'm not saying right now. Not even 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.880 Trump said we got to open the economy tomorrow, right 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.560 we have the fifteen days, that is the plan. He 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.360 said he was hopeful, and we play this for your yesterday, 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:29.560 hopeful to open things up a bit. You gotta listen 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.520 to the people, I mean, you gotta listen to people 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.520 who are being honest about this and tune out those 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.640 who say the President promised the president set a deadline. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:41.560 He did no such thing. Expressions of hope are just 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:46.640 that he's trying to keep everybody calm, forward looking while 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:52.000 also taking the necessary precautions in this moment. But the 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:56.720 August I mean, the April eleventh deadline is not a 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.360 deadline at all. It's just the President saying, and that 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.040 it was report it as such the media. It's just 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.000 the President saying, listen, we're going to get back to 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.360 work as quickly as we can. And maybe back to 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:12.079 work means masks, gloves, Maybe it means social distancing practice 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.600 to the degree possible in the office, you know, hand 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.640 sanitizer everywhere, very strict rules about it. Anyone who feels 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.480 even a little bit sick stays home. And you know, 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.040 I mean, I'm not saying that it's ever going to 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:27.080 be quickly the way that it was before this, but 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.160 we do need to grapple with the reality of what 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:34.680 this would become in time. I also see the meaning 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.439 that if we kept the maximum shutdown in place, if 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.960 we do what we're doing right now, which is a 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.240 level of extreme that I think it is shocking to 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.720 a lot of people. The Governor Cuomo right now is 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:55.199 saying that they're going to practice mandatory playground social density policing. 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.880 It's a fancy way of saying, you can't have more 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:00.960 than a few people in the ground at one time, 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.520 and we'll find people if we have to, and then 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.319 we might shut and they'll just shut the parks down 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.679 if they don't abide by this. So, unfortunately, when you're 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.600 in a situation as we are right now, people that 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.400 refuse to play by the rules, people that refuse to 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.360 do what is necessary to try and protect everybody, they 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:23.280 make life harder for everyone. They might open streets to 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.920 foot traffic but not vehicle traffic as a means of 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.400 spreading things out on the streets so that you can 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.560 go for a walk and you don't have to come 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.640 within I mean, look, I'm out here where there's more 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.640 of this virus than anywhere else in the country by far, 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.600 And even on the streets that are pretty empty, you 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.880 end up finding yourself unless you want to walk out 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.920 into traffic, you have to walk within a few feet 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.320 of individuals. This is going to spread around the country. 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.400 It's already happening. I'll tell you about that with the 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:58.360 hospital hospital surge situation that we're already seeing in Georgia. 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.400 We're already seeing in a lot of states that people 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:05.199 don't think of as hotspots for this. Florida. Look, Florida 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:06.920 got a lot of New Yorkers, a lot of people said, Oh, 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:08.360 I'm going to go to my house in Florida and 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.640 ride this out because things are bad in New York. 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.760 Guess what, Now there's a lot more in Florida than 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:18.080 people were anticipating. And this is also why doctor Deborah Burkes, 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.800 who has now become a household name during this, has said, 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:22.280 if you're in New York at all, you have to 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.280 be in quarantine for fourteen days. So I am now 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.200 officially under guidance. I mean, I've been saying I'm in 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.560 a semi self quarantine, but I knew we were just 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:35.920 sliding toward full on quarantine. I am now, you know, 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:41.280 in a mandated quarantine situation. That's that, or at least 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.560 that's the mandatory guidance. They're not forcing me to do this, 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.800 but I'm at home for at least two weeks. And 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.360 if you're in New York, it's not like two weeks 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.880 from now, you'll you'll be able to think that everything 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.959 is fine all they're saying, is when you go somewhere else, 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.240 you've got a quarantine fort days because you could be infected, 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:02.640 and if you're in New York, you should act as 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.080 if you might be infected. That's where we are right now. 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:11.440 So the President is walking a very tight rope here 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:16.000 of maximum protections for everybody while also keeping an eye 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.240 on the economy. And this is necessary, and this is 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.600 not about trading dollars for lives. In fact, it is 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:26.400 looking at the long term sustainability of this country and 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.720 all of the lives in it and making sure that 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:34.040 you know, doctors have equipment coming to them from our 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:38.160 from our facilities, and food is still on the shelves, 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:42.000 and some commerce is still happening because the things and 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:44.400 I do not believe we're going to this, So I'm 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.080 not I'm not trying to be a profit of doom 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:52.760 at all. But if we have food shortages, then all 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.400 the people that are saying, oh, but you know, we 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.400 can do this, we can do this for months. We 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.400 don't have to change anything. I think they'll wreck ignized 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.120 that that was very shortsighted, because things will get very 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.040 ugly and very scary really quickly, and there will also 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.160 be other strains on the healthcare system. As a result 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:10.800 of this, people are going to be making their own decisions. 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:15.480 So we have to be balancing these two components of 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:22.000 maximizing public health and safety while also keeping alive I'm 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:26.720 not saying flourishing, keeping alive the economy. We have to 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.400 do that. And that's why when Governor Cuomo said this, 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.319 and I know I'm talking about New York a lot 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:33.760 and a lot of guys, a lot of you folks 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.360 aren't in New York, but this is the canary in 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.120 the coal mine. I mean, New York is showing us 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.320 what's coming and what's happening, and it will come to 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:45.280 not the same numbers, but you're going to have situations 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.360 like this and most for most of you listening to this, 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:51.440 if you're in an urban area at all, including suburbs, 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.800 you know, if you're within an hour or to drive 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.080 of a pretty major city, you're going to be dealing 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:02.319 with this. But Governor Quoma said this, and I understand 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.679 where he's coming from, but I also think that this 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:09.040 is not I think this is not really intellectually honest 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.120 the way he's framing this right now, Because no one 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.800 thinks that anyone's expendable. No one is okay with any 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.680 American dying from this right now, we all want everyone 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:22.560 to survive. When you start from that premise, at least, 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.680 then you can act in good faith when you try 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.800 to balance out the other imperatives. Here, here's what humor 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.640 play clip nineteen. I'm sorry what Ta Cuomo said. Yeah, 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.160 my mother is not expendable, and your mother is not expendable, 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.840 and our brothers and sisters are not expendable. And we're 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:45.480 not going to accept a premise that human life is disposable, 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:47.840 and we're not going to put a dollar figure on 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:53.720 human life. The first order of business is save lives, period, 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:58.200 whatever it costs. Now, I also don't believe it's an 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:02.760 either or. I' believe you can have an intelligent, refined 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:08.400 public health strategy. To talk about risk stratification. You can 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.880 have people go to work. You can test people and 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.440 find out that they are resolved from the virus, let 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.280 them go back to work. You're gonna have younger people 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.280 go back to work. You can have an economic startup 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:28.200 strategy that is consistent with the public health strategy. It's smart. Now, 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:32.440 Notice how he says we'll do anything for health forever, 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.280 every single life. We'll do anything. And then he says, 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.520 but you know, we're gonna have a risk stratification. That's 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:38.960 a fancy way of saying, we're gonna have to make 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.000 some tough choices. This is going to be imperfect, and 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.520 there is going to be escalation of risk on either 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:47.640 the economic side or the spread of infection, which also 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.920 means loss of life because there is a percentage of 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:53.200 people that get infected that will die from this. So 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.440 he's saying, effectively, we're gonna balance us out as best 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:01.280 we can. But he first comes out if well, all 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.320 that matters here is that we will spend any amount 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:08.280 to save every life. If you really did that, you 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.080 would end up losing a lot more lives because you 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.720 would you would destroy the entire system that's supposed to 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.360 support the effort to fight against the virus. Right this 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.520 is I know this gets into a bit of ethics 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:23.720 and philosophical struggle, but we all need to be clearheaded 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.560 about there are no perfect solutions here. There's nothing that's 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.200 going to keep everyone alive. There's nothing that's going to 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.480 make the economy rure. We are going to have to 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.120 be looking at this day by day, by the numbers, 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.680 by the metrics, and make tough calls. But if we 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.280 make them together, and if we're honest about what's going on, 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:45.240 and we keep in mind our most fundamental human principles 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:49.920 but also our view to the common good, the common welfare, 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.320 We're going to come through this better than it feels 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.120 like we will right now. That is my hope. I 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.320 do not make predictions right now, but I also think 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:00.800 you need to be on the on the watch for 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.800 demagogues who anyone who is promising you that we can 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.440 go back to some degree of economic or a greater 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.520 degree of economic normal without increased risk is wrong and 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.960 they may be lying to you because the pandemic, this 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.760 disease is not going away. Before we have a vaccine, 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.120 it's not going away. So for the rest of this year, 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.080 this is what we're dealing with. This is where we are, 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:24.800 but we'll fight and we'll get through. You're in the 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:32.640 Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. During 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:36.080 our town hall today, you throughout a date where you 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.280 think America can be working again, and that's Easter Sunday, 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:44.080 that's nineteen days from now. How did you come up. Well, 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.800 it's nineteen days, but added another seven because we've been 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:48.760 doing this now for seven so that spend the time 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.800 we heard about seven time, well, yes, surround the time 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:56.240 we close it up, so you could add seven to nine. Look, 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.040 Easter is a very special day from me, and I 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.600 see it's sort of been that timeline that I'm thinking about, 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:03.800 and I say, wouldn't it be great to have all 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.600 of the churches full? You know, the churches aren't allowed 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.800 essentially to have much of a congregation there, and most 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:14.439 of them I watched on Sunday online and he was terrific, 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.240 by the way, but orderline is never going to be 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.120 like being there. So I think Easter Sunday and you'll 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.880 have packed churches all over a country. I think would 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.080 be a beautiful time. And it's just about the timeline 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.879 that I think is right. It gives us more chance 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:30.960 to work on what we're doing. And I'm not sure 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.040 that's going to be the day, but I would love 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:36.080 to aim it right at Easter Sunday, so we're open 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:40.199 for church service and services generally on Easter Sunday. That 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.359 would be a beautiful thing, it would be. He's expressing 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.840 hope he is not making a promise. Thanks for listening 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:50.280 to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:56.560 Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Unfortunately, 0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:00.320 even though we're facing an unprecedented situation that as us 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.040 all concerned, look, I am concerned, I am not panicked. 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:07.680 We will be okay. You know, you have to just 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:13.840 steal your sense of calm and resolve and just know 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.600 that we will endure and we are capable of amazing things, 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:20.600 we the American people, We'll get through. But even in 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.560 that environment where we're all so clear that there is 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.879 a need right now to stop the childish crap. I mean, 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.720 I told you yesterday about the media trying to pile 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.920 on to the President and say that because someone drank 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:37.480 fish tank cleaner, which sounded like the thing the President mentioned, 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:39.520 and he was completely right to mention it, they're using 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.399 it right now in trials in New York City. I 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:46.280 am praying, I am actually actively praying every day now 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:50.680 for that to work. Because even if it brings down 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:54.800 let's say, mortality rates for those who are hospitalized by 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.879 fifty percent and gets them out of the hospital, you know, 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.879 fifty percent sooner That would miraculous right now, because it 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.919 would do so much to relieve the strain on the 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:06.720 hospital system, which I will be talking to you about 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.919 in just a moment. But it's frustrating because at this 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:13.280 point in time, there are still those who are looking 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:17.000 at things from the lens of what was true months 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.320 ago about how we should approach one another, how we 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.520 should deal with one another, what we should say about politics, 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:29.679 what kind of gamesmanship another nonsense is acceptable? And I 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.720 wasn't acceptable then, but I mean it's really unacceptable now. 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:38.040 And you have a Biden superpack that's already on the 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.760 offensive against Trump. Now. I know there's a presidential election 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.440 going on, but you know, while we're doing the fifteen days, 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:46.720 you know, there are times when you put things aside. 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:51.719 I remember back during the financial crisis, I didn't McCain 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:53.880 stop campaigning for a week or two not Some people 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.840 thought that was grandstanding. But there's there's a legitimate case 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.880 to be made in a situation like this, for sure, 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:05.040 where there are quite literally thousands of lives at stake, 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.639 that you can put this, you can put aside the 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.919 petty partisan squabbles and move on to something else. But no, 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:13.639 right here, in the middle of the fifteen days, we 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:18.120 have to hear from Joe Biden and Joe Biden's Superpack, 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:21.280 and here's what they have to say about the Trump 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:28.480 response to coronavirus Play seventeen. The crisis comes to every presidency. 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:32.240 We don't blame them for that. What matters is how 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:36.919 they handle him. Donald Trump didn't create the coronavirus, but 0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:40.879 he is the one who called hoax, who eliminated the 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:44.919 Pandemic Response Team, and to let the virus spread unchecked 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:51.160 across America. Crisis comes to every president, and this one failed. 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:58.640 That's just disgusting. It's not true, it's not right. The 0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:04.080 pandemic response to in the NSC was folded into another 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:09.320 component and they streamlined the order of operations because the 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.879 Obama administration doubled the size of the NSC from what 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:15.240 it was. Traditionally it was usually around one hundred or 0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:17.520 two hundred Obama and so he got to four hundred people. 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:22.399 That's huge. It's the size of Congress. And that's Remember, 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.359 it's not like the NSC is. The NSC is just 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:28.760 an advisory body to the White House, to the President 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:31.280 on these matters. The president still has the Chairman of 0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:34.280 the Joint Chiefs of Staff still has, the seventeen agencies 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:36.640 of the Intelligence Community still has, the NIA still has, 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:40.639 the CDC still has more federal agencies FDA, more federal 0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:44.400 agencies than anybody can even name or remember, including people 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.280 who work for the federal government, which I used to 0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:50.400 And they act like, oh, because they had a few 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:53.080 people that they moved over into a different component within 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.840 the NSC. It's just pathetic. Does anyone really think that 0:22:56.880 --> 0:22:59.439 the National Security Council had a couple of people that 0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.800 will what were they going to do overrule the CDC 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:05.400 say no, you can't make your own test. CDC, We're 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:09.480 the NSC pandemic Response Team. This is ridiculous. Call it 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:11.720 a hoax, that's a lie. So Joe Biden's ad is 0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:15.200 a lie. He did not call it a hoax. Trump 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:18.120 did not say this disease is a hoax. He said. 0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:21.800 The media trying to lie about Trump in his response, 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:24.639 So really, and and saying that he called it a hoax, 0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:28.200 they are perpetuating the real hoax, which is the media's 0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:32.400 approach to this all along. And the great example yesterday 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:37.160 of chloroquine phosphate, where all of a sudden. That's Trump's fault. 0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:41.280 You know, if someone says wash your hands, and I 0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:45.680 go and drink a whole bunch of dishwashing liquid because 0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:47.520 I think that that's going to make me even cleaner, 0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:51.600 that's on me. That's not on the health experts that 0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:56.720 say wash your hands. But that Joe Biden ad is 0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:58.840 just indicative of the whole mindset right now, which is 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:01.399 anything to get Trump is justified, and none of us 0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:06.320 really have to think about what's fair in our assessments 0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:09.360 of him, and how should we really be thinking about 0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:13.080 the way forward with this president. Instead we should be whining, 0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:16.600 complaining it doesn't what he's doing. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi is 0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:19.879 holding the rescue, the two trillion dollars rescue package for 0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:21.879 the American people so they can pay their bills and 0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:25.600 buy groceries. She's holding that hostage. And now it seems 0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:32.200 that once again, the mythology of Nancy Pelosi's legislative brilliance 0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:35.040 a master legislator, I believe, as she once called herself, 0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:39.879 the mythology around that is entirely immediate creation. It's like RBG. 0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:45.000 It's like Ruth Bader Ginsberg's unbelievable hardcore workouts. She's a 0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:47.600 little old lady who can barely move her arms and 0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:50.199 legs during most of the exercises she's doing. And I 0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:52.120 wish her good health and I hope everything is cool 0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.080 for her for a very long time. But I'm not 0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:57.479 impressed by her kettle bell swings. And it's really weird 0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:01.040 that the media pretends to be. But then this is 0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:04.080 a cult. They created the cult of RBG because she's 0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:07.760 now so essential to mostly the abortion industry in this country. 0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:10.840 That's what they viview her as a big protection of that. 0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:14.000 And we'll talk about planned parenthood and Nancy Pelosi and 0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:16.040 how this all comes together, but it all comes full circle. 0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:21.240 But Nancy Pelosi's legislative brilliance, her tactical skill, that's all. 0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:25.879 That's all media creation. Nancy Pelosi approaches politics from the 0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:28.399 perspective of somebody who has no ethics and his cunning. 0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:31.240 You know that'll work in a lot of context. That'll 0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:32.760 get you very far. It actually gets a lot of 0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:35.159 people in the media business very far, including some conservatives, 0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:39.000 by the way, But that's the way. You know that 0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:41.680 that doesn't mean that you're you should be admired for this, 0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:46.520 right do we really admire little Finger from Game of Thrones, 0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:48.040 By the way, that's great. That would be a great 0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:51.440 I may go back and rewatch that from the very beginning. 0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:54.440 That would soak up some quarantine time, that's for sure. 0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:57.439 I tried to get into Battlestar Galactica. I might go 0:25:57.480 --> 0:25:59.000 back to it, because I know there's a people are 0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:01.240 so love that show, so devoted to it. I just 0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:03.199 think it's dated. I think the effects are kind of 0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:06.199 kind of cheesy, and I don't know. I couldn't get it. 0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:07.840 I know people love it and you can yell at me, 0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:11.359 and that's fine. But the thing I am. Oh, we'll 0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:13.360 talk about shows later. See, my mind is already going 0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:15.600 there because, like you, I need respite from this, and 0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:18.360 so we will get to discussions with things and we'll 0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:21.000 bring in Salty Mark from the Penalty Box and it'll 0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:26.639 be good. But Biden's ad, let's refocus buck Biden's ad 0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:32.800 where he's talking about or where the announcer who inspires 0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:37.119 trust just by the tone of his voice, Well, that 0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:39.359 actually sounded a little bit like a creepy stalker or something. 0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:41.679 I got to do a better job of. I'm just 0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:45.680 making you all feel comfortable here. Now it sound even creepier, 0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:48.240 sound like I look like the guy or a sound 0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:50.840 him looked like the guy who's in the background of 0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:54.440 the like the nineties, you know teen Slasher film, who's 0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:57.639 like he was like the captain of the football team. 0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:02.399 And then you know anyway, So the Biden ad is 0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:07.600 is definitely dishonest. And there's a real sense right now 0:27:07.920 --> 0:27:11.680 because people understand government doesn't matter. Who's in charge does matter. 0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:15.040 This is a real thing. It's not oh, anybody, everyone 0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:18.359 does the exact same job. Usually that's true. It's in 0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:21.639 the crises that they have to address that we see 0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:26.440 what these because that's when their decisions matter. Their authority 0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:29.880 tends to be on the upswing tends to increase, and 0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:32.840 we're all paying attention and we all care. So in 0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:36.760 a crisis, every decision that a politician makes inherently is 0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:42.880 more both more impactful and more memorable. Here is what 0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:47.040 we get from, for example, the Democrat answer to Donald Trump. 0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:49.040 They had twenty candidates. They could have put anybody up. 0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:51.480 They could have put Oprah up, they could have put 0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:55.200 the Rock up. They could you know, anybody, Tom Hanks, 0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:56.320 that would have been by the way, I think he's 0:27:56.320 --> 0:27:58.159 doing pretty well from the coronavirus. Tom Hanks would have 0:27:58.160 --> 0:27:59.919 been formidable. Imay, look where we live in an air 0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:04.879 of celebrity and people being very likable and coming across 0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:07.280 that way is an incredibly powerful tool in a way 0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:09.040 that it wouldn't have been even one hundred years ago, 0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:12.040 because now you can reach everybody instantaneously. But they had 0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:14.080 all these options, they had all these opportunities to put 0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:17.800 forward someone who would make us all really feel like 0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:22.560 we got this, and instead and put uside. Whether or 0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:24.040 not you think Trump is doing a good job, which 0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:27.840 I think solid now solid number sixty percent of Americans overall, 0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:29.399 I believe think he is doing a good job. According 0:28:29.440 --> 0:28:35.199 to Gallup, they offer up this guy instead play clip eleven. 0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:39.440 Please are you at all concerned? As Trump said that 0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:42.760 we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself. 0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:45.400 We have to take care of the cure that will 0:28:45.480 --> 0:28:48.800 make the problem worse, no matter what, no matter what, 0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:53.040 we know what has to be done, we have to 0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:57.680 take care of the cure that will make the problem worse, 0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:03.960 no matter what, no matter what, I need a nap. 0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:06.160 I mean, this guy is not up for this. And 0:29:06.200 --> 0:29:08.920 they and the Democrats know it. But they're so orange 0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:11.320 man bad. They hate Trump so much that it just 0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:14.520 doesn't matter to them. Doesn't matter to them, They don't care. 0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:18.480 They think that it's you know, anything, anything, anyone is 0:29:18.520 --> 0:29:20.920 better than Trump. And there's even a piece I think 0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:22.880 in the Atlantic right now it's you know, just stay 0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:25.920 healthy Biden, like just telling Joe Biden, we just need 0:29:25.960 --> 0:29:28.520 you to stay We need you to stay healthy. Doesn't 0:29:28.560 --> 0:29:31.080 even matter what you say, doesn't matter what your policies are. 0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:32.840 Just just be Joe Biden, and we'll take care of 0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:36.880 the rest. More or less. Here is uh, we got 0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:39.520 we got more Biden. Okay, So they're criticizing Trump. What's 0:29:39.520 --> 0:29:42.400 he doing wrong? And I would note that Cuomo, who 0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:44.920 I think has been pretty fair to the administration, yesterday 0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:47.000 he had some tough words for administration. We had updates 0:29:47.040 --> 0:29:49.840 about that today. I watched the press conference and the 0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:53.560 administration's answers that I saw, Well, we'll get there. I 0:29:53.560 --> 0:29:55.440 gotta give you something that you know, we gotta hold 0:29:55.480 --> 0:29:57.240 some the information out, so you stay with me here, 0:29:57.240 --> 0:30:01.840 you don't bail. And uh star watching the most recent 0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:04.440 season of the Last Kingdom, I'm Utred son of outred. 0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:09.920 So here's Joe Biden when he's asked about ppe personal 0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:14.200 protective equipment, when he's asked about what he would do 0:30:14.240 --> 0:30:16.560 differently than what Trump is doing. It's a perfect opportunity 0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:20.280 show us blue collar Joe, show us why you would 0:30:20.280 --> 0:30:22.440 be better than the president of the United States at 0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:25.440 handling this, And here is what he does. Play sixteen. 0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:29.080 If you were president, would you have enacted that? What 0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:32.440 would you be demanding of industry? I would have enacted 0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:34.920 a long time ago, Jake. I think it was three two, 0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:37.280 three weeks ago. I pointed out that the presidents should 0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:40.240 enact us. It should have been enacted months ago. This 0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:42.880 is a position where we know what's coming. All you 0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:45.200 gotta do is look around the world. Every morning, I'm 0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:47.280 on the phone for about an hour and a half 0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:50.040 of all the health experts on my committee. Although people 0:30:50.120 --> 0:30:52.600 working with me, they have been pointing out, I wish 0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:54.640 you had the graphs here with you. You see him, 0:30:54.800 --> 0:30:58.480 the Spike and the US cases are going like this. 0:30:58.840 --> 0:31:01.600 It's now surpassed for it would be if we continue 0:31:01.640 --> 0:31:04.640 on this path, would happened in Italy. Look, this is 0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:10.520 ridiculous to make the change like the governor said Governor Cuomo. 0:31:10.800 --> 0:31:12.880 What is he going to do with several hundreds or 0:31:12.880 --> 0:31:15.840 several thousand. He needs a great deal more. The whole 0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:20.760 country needs them. Who does that? What was that rambling mess? 0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:25.280 This idea that Democrats knew that months ago, that we 0:31:25.280 --> 0:31:27.400 should have been all hands on deck, and then this 0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:30.920 is just fantasy land stuff. In fact, Democrats in January, 0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:34.840 we're dragging the country through a bad faith and just 0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:40.240 absolutely absurd and disgusting impeachment. That's what they were doing. 0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:43.160 That is what they were up to then. So to 0:31:43.240 --> 0:31:45.360 pretend that they cared so much about this is nonsense. 0:31:45.480 --> 0:31:46.800 And I can show you. We can sit here all 0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:49.239 day and the media, a lot of media experts, Oh, 0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:51.640 don't worry about coronavirus. Oh it's not. I mean from 0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:53.120 the New York Times. I mean, I mean from a 0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:56.120 lot of the main outlets that you think of as 0:31:56.160 --> 0:32:01.720 the liberal the flagship liberal opinion makers. So this is 0:32:01.760 --> 0:32:04.040 just nonsense, and this is hindsight is twenty twenty. Yeah, 0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:06.200 Oh of course I knew, I saw, I knew this 0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:08.760 was going to be. Joe Biden just is full of it. 0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:11.040 But he's always been full of it. This guy's been 0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:13.520 running for president since the eighties, and this is astonishing. 0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:19.360 It's like somehow his mediocrity is just unstoppable, like he'll 0:32:19.400 --> 0:32:22.000 never stop. I mean, he's obviously been stopped because he's 0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:24.080 lost a lot of efforts to be president in the past, 0:32:24.320 --> 0:32:28.320 but I mean his endurance seems to be the primary 0:32:28.400 --> 0:32:30.600 selling point that he has to be president. Endurance and 0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:34.840 longevity and politics. He's been around forever and he just 0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:37.400 keeps on coming. But if you're looking for somebody that 0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:40.400 has a good strategic mind or even strikes you as 0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:43.440 particularly bright, I don't think Joe Biden is your candidate. 0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:45.280 And I don't think Joe Biden was doing a better 0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:47.800 job right now handling this crisis than Donald Trump. And 0:32:47.800 --> 0:32:53.640 people were saying otherwise, it's wishful thinking. You're in the 0:32:53.720 --> 0:33:00.120 freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. That 0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:03.840 is really unfortunate. I would wish that that would stop, 0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:08.040 because we have a much bigger problem here than trying 0:33:08.040 --> 0:33:12.200 to point out differences. They're really fundamentally at the core 0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:15.240 when you look at things, there are not differences. The 0:33:15.320 --> 0:33:18.280 president has listened to what I have said and with 0:33:18.400 --> 0:33:21.480 the other people on the task Force have said. When 0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:25.360 I've made recommendations. He's taken them, he's never counted over 0:33:25.520 --> 0:33:29.040 ridden me. The idea of just pitting one against the 0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:31.160 other is just not helpful. I wish that would stop, 0:33:31.160 --> 0:33:33.960 when we'd look ahead at the challenge we have to 0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:37.400 pull together to get over this thing. I don't think 0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:40.320 this is minor at all. You know, I criticized the 0:33:40.400 --> 0:33:44.480 media while we're in the midst of this pandemic, and 0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:47.920 I think it's necessary too. I think it's necessary to 0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:51.240 put out the counter narrative to what they're doing to 0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:54.480 increase public awareness and with a public pressure on the 0:33:54.520 --> 0:33:58.560 bull crap that they're doing all the time. Here is 0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:04.320 doctor Fauci, who is the infectious disease expert at the 0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:07.640 whole country. Doctor Burke's and doctor Faucci watching every day 0:34:07.680 --> 0:34:11.319 on TV. The expertise not just that they possess, but 0:34:11.360 --> 0:34:13.719 that they represent because they have teams of people that 0:34:13.760 --> 0:34:16.000 are looking at all this, crunching the numbers and bring 0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:19.600 decades and decades of experience in the field of epidemiology 0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:26.239 and risk management and disease disease outbreak management. He is 0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:29.880 telling people right now the media's crap needs to stop. 0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:33.120 He's saying it too, and he's not. He doesn't seem 0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:34.600 like I look if I yes, I don't think doctor 0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:37.000 Faucci is a Republican. Okay, this is not a partisan thing. 0:34:37.200 --> 0:34:39.480 He's just like, stopped the games. Stop trying to create 0:34:39.520 --> 0:34:42.480 a rift between me and the commander in chief. He 0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:45.000 is saying it, don't forget it. What I'm telling you. 0:34:45.200 --> 0:34:49.080 Fauci is telling you too. So it's clearly true that 0:34:49.120 --> 0:34:56.680 they're being reckless and irresponsible at a time of maximum psychological, economic, 0:34:56.960 --> 0:35:00.680 and even physical vulnerability from the disease itself in this country. 0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:06.120 The media is being irresponsible. They're disgrace, they're disgusting. And 0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:08.319 this is why I'm happy to see in the polls 0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:11.839 that at least Republicans trust the media to give them 0:35:11.880 --> 0:35:14.600 information about this. I think it's Republicans have an eighteen 0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:18.080 percent of Republicans believe I think the media is doing 0:35:18.080 --> 0:35:19.719 a good job and being fair and covering this. That's 0:35:19.760 --> 0:35:22.200 the poll that I saw today, And I think that's 0:35:22.480 --> 0:35:25.640 eighteen percent too high. But at least a vast majority 0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:27.920 of us realized that, no, they haven't. They haven't decided 0:35:27.960 --> 0:35:31.200 to be more responsible. They haven't decided that they're going 0:35:31.239 --> 0:35:34.960 to do everything they can to put aside the games 0:35:34.960 --> 0:35:38.520 and the nonsense while the country is really in jeopardy, 0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:41.200 you know, if the nation right now, it's like we're 0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:44.760 all in the hospital and these morons in the media 0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:48.160 are showing up and saying, you know, hey, are you 0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:50.840 are you gonna have are you gonna have a party 0:35:50.880 --> 0:35:53.080 next month? You know? Or are you gonna go outside? Now? 0:35:53.120 --> 0:35:57.840 It's like, shut up and let us do what is important. Media, 0:35:58.520 --> 0:36:01.440 bring facts or clothe your mouths. That's what they need 0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:03.399 to do right now. But they won't do it. The 0:36:03.480 --> 0:36:05.680 journals won't. I'm not even talking about the opinion people. 0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:08.800 I'm talking about the journalists. Thanks for listening to the 0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:13.040 Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, 0:36:13.239 --> 0:36:17.839 the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. The 0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:21.919 total package here comes to roughly six trillion dollars, two 0:36:22.000 --> 0:36:27.840 trillion direct assistance, roughly four trillion in fellow reserve lending power. Again, 0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:30.480 it will be the largest main street financial package in 0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:33.800 the history of the United States. Liquidity and cash for families, 0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:38.319 small business, individuals, unemployed to keep this thing going. We're 0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:40.160 heading for a rough period, but it's only going to 0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:42.320 be weeks we think weeks and months, not going to 0:36:42.400 --> 0:36:45.479 be years, that's for sure, and hopefully pave the way 0:36:45.880 --> 0:36:53.279 for continued economic recovery after this crisis. Team, just a 0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:54.960 quick correction. I think I said eight trillion in the 0:36:55.040 --> 0:36:58.279 last hour, but it is six trillion totals. Still a 0:36:58.320 --> 0:37:03.440 lot of money, Still quite a pretty penny producer, Mark, 0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:06.120 do we think we could fit six trillion dollars in 0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:08.080 your new apartment if we put it in cash? I 0:37:08.080 --> 0:37:12.160 don't even know, Probably not, maybe foods, in big bills. Yeah, 0:37:12.239 --> 0:37:14.879 I mean that's that's like, that's a lot of money. 0:37:14.920 --> 0:37:16.560 I remember the one time in my life that I 0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:20.399 held and it wasn't my money. I held bags with 0:37:20.880 --> 0:37:24.440 very large sums of US cash in them for professional reasons, 0:37:24.960 --> 0:37:30.120 and I just remember thinking, Wow, money's heavy. Money gets 0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:33.959 heavy pretty fast. So six trillion dollars would be would 0:37:33.960 --> 0:37:37.560 be a lot of cash. That much is for sure. 0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:40.040 And that's what we're facing right now. Because we are 0:37:40.880 --> 0:37:47.319 friends Americans, countrymen, we are in a tough spot right now, 0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:50.080 there is no question. And as I go to air, 0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:54.720 we have not yet seen the passage of this massive, 0:37:54.760 --> 0:37:56.560 the largest spending bill in history. I mean, this is 0:37:56.600 --> 0:38:00.239 in dollar figures the biggest act of Congress of of all. 0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:02.160 I mean, this would be the biggest congressional action ever. 0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:06.000 So that that puts it into that puts it into 0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:08.959 perspective pretty quickly. I mean, I remember the sense of 0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:12.120 this guy is falling back in the financial crisis of 0:38:12.120 --> 0:38:16.120 two thousand and eight, and now we realize, wow, that 0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:19.040 was actually not that bad. You know, we were able 0:38:19.040 --> 0:38:20.879 to deal with that one pretty quickly. The bounce back 0:38:20.920 --> 0:38:24.719 came relatively fast. So this is going to be as 0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:26.920 we all know. There's the stakes are higher and this 0:38:26.960 --> 0:38:30.200 is a more challenging situation. And you know, sure enough, 0:38:30.239 --> 0:38:31.799 this is the test we all knew it would come. 0:38:31.800 --> 0:38:34.760 It comes with every presidency, right This is the test 0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:38.960 of the Trump presidency right now. And I think the 0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:42.520 President so far is doing a good job. I cannot 0:38:42.520 --> 0:38:45.120 say it is perfect. There are areas of criticism that 0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:49.359 are legitimate, but I think the president is overall. I mean, 0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:51.560 I certainly put myself in that sixty percent that says 0:38:51.560 --> 0:38:56.160 that he has been handling this well. And I am 0:38:56.200 --> 0:38:58.439 pleased with the approach that the White House has taken 0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:00.920 so far. I am not pleased with the bull that 0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:03.239 the Democrats Today's a day when I kind of wish 0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:08.040 I could drop some drop some salty language on the air, 0:39:08.080 --> 0:39:12.399 but I can't. I'm not happy with the Nancy Pelosi Shenanigans, 0:39:13.160 --> 0:39:17.040 the malarkey of Pelosi, that is for sure, and these 0:39:17.080 --> 0:39:19.839 other Democrats who were going along with her. He mean, 0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:24.759 here's what we know about what this bill that supposedly 0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:27.799 is agreed upon, and so it's only a matter of 0:39:27.880 --> 0:39:33.520 time before they actually, you know, before this actually gets dispersed. 0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:36.759 It's one hundred and thirty billion dollars for hospitals, one 0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:39.520 hundred and fifty billion dollars for state and local government, 0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:43.120 three hundred and fifty billion dollars for small businesses, four 0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:45.880 months of unemployment insurance, twelve hundred dollars for adults, and 0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:49.360 five hundred dollars per child in direct cash payments. No, 0:39:50.239 --> 0:39:54.040 the payroll tax holiday, I get do we call it 0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:56.520 a holiday? I mean removing the payroll tax for a 0:39:56.560 --> 0:39:58.840 period of time. I think it's only going for employers 0:39:58.840 --> 0:40:01.279 and not for individuals. That's add they should have had 0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:05.360 it that. That just means anyway, that doesn't work. You 0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:07.520 got to do it for both or else the employer 0:40:07.640 --> 0:40:08.880 is just gonna end up taking it out of the 0:40:08.880 --> 0:40:12.520 individuals pay They won't take it out of their paycheck 0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:14.920 in the same way, but they pass on this cost 0:40:15.520 --> 0:40:19.399 to their employees. So or rather sorry, you won't get 0:40:19.440 --> 0:40:22.479 the benefit for the being an employee that you would 0:40:22.480 --> 0:40:24.879 if they had limited at both ends. I actually did 0:40:24.880 --> 0:40:28.320 that in reverse, at least I didn't think that. What 0:40:28.880 --> 0:40:33.720 was the number again that MSNBC host and Brian Williams, Gosh, 0:40:33.760 --> 0:40:37.680 Bloomberg spent five hundred million dollars, he could give a 0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:43.960 million dollars to every American. That's amazing. Nope. I do 0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:48.319 think it's also fair to ask Bloomberg will end up 0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:51.360 having spent almost a billion dollars on his campaign, and 0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:54.400 he has after promising to employ people who work in 0:40:54.440 --> 0:40:57.960 the campaign until the fall, even if even if it 0:40:58.040 --> 0:41:02.600 doesn't the camp pain obviously is over now they're not 0:41:02.640 --> 0:41:05.040 doing that. He's not keeping his word. That seems kind 0:41:05.040 --> 0:41:08.400 of gross. I also think it's worth noting that the 0:41:09.000 --> 0:41:14.959 Bloomberg camp, well, Bloomberg himself could really step up here 0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:17.719 and help out a lot of people in a lot 0:41:17.719 --> 0:41:20.520 of ways. I'm not saying he hasn't it. I might 0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:23.000 have missed something, but I haven't seen it yet. You're 0:41:23.000 --> 0:41:26.440 going to spend five hundred million dollars plus on your vanity. President. Look, 0:41:26.480 --> 0:41:27.960 he's allowed to do what he wants to do. I'm 0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:31.759 not saying that this is a compulsory thing. But if 0:41:31.760 --> 0:41:35.040 I were worth sixty billion dollars right now, I would 0:41:35.120 --> 0:41:37.600 just be thinking I would be spending as much time 0:41:37.640 --> 0:41:41.040 as I had waking hours. How do I help people 0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:42.839 that are getting hurt by this right now? What can 0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:45.960 I do? Because there's a lot When you're worth billions 0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:47.960 and billions of dollars, there's a lot you can do 0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:50.040 to help out your community, a lot you can do 0:41:50.600 --> 0:41:55.200 to assist instead. Bloomberg News, for example, feels more and 0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:58.239 more like the propaganda wing of the Chinese Communist Party, 0:41:58.239 --> 0:42:00.719 which is a complete disgrace. I'll talk more about China 0:42:00.800 --> 0:42:03.840 later on. The Bloomberg is particularly bad in its coverage 0:42:04.320 --> 0:42:06.200 of all this stuff. But okay, so I told you 0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:08.160 what's what's in the bill, and there's a lot and 0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:09.880 we don't, you know, we got to read it to 0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:13.880 know what's in it. You know, the whole thing. You 0:42:13.920 --> 0:42:16.000 know how journalists tell you a thousand times a day 0:42:16.040 --> 0:42:18.480 that the president lies a thousand times a day. This 0:42:18.960 --> 0:42:23.520 has become a it's really a tick. It's it's a compulsion. 0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:27.799 Journalists will say this when they have nothing else to say. 0:42:27.840 --> 0:42:31.520 Just Trump lies, Trump lies. It's and they run all 0:42:31.560 --> 0:42:34.440 these fact checks about how Trump slide, like fifteen thousand 0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:36.319 times or something, and then I look at them and 0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:40.160 fact quote, fact check after fact check. It's Trump saying, 0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:41.759 you know, I'm like the greatest or I'm the best. 0:42:41.920 --> 0:42:44.560 Not true. Trump is lying, he's not the best, Like 0:42:44.560 --> 0:42:47.680 are you little idiot children in the media. All the answers, 0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:51.919 yes they are. But Pelosi, we all know what happened here. 0:42:52.040 --> 0:42:53.520 And I was talking about this in the last hour. 0:42:53.560 --> 0:42:56.439 Pelosi is supposed to be the strategic genius. We all 0:42:56.480 --> 0:43:00.520 know what's happening, and she's not a strategic gene In fact, 0:43:00.560 --> 0:43:03.080 she's just at the point now where I think she's 0:43:03.080 --> 0:43:06.480 gotten sloppy because she knows the media and some of 0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:09.359 your like sloppy like chardonnay, no, I mean slop well, 0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:13.960 I mean sloppy like the media covers for her so 0:43:14.040 --> 0:43:16.800 quickly and so completely that she doesn't have to she 0:43:17.160 --> 0:43:21.240 doesn't get held responsible for her mistakes, for her overreach, 0:43:21.320 --> 0:43:24.920 for the things that she does, and so this is 0:43:24.920 --> 0:43:27.799 one of those moments where she would have been better 0:43:27.840 --> 0:43:30.600 off if the media wasn't completely a bunch of lapdogs 0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:34.759 for her. No offense to Lula, You're great. She's the 0:43:34.840 --> 0:43:36.840 French bulldog right now in the apartment with me, is 0:43:36.880 --> 0:43:39.600 totally asleep because she needs at least fourteen hours of 0:43:39.640 --> 0:43:42.120 sleep a day. Apparently that's that's it. I exist to 0:43:42.200 --> 0:43:44.799 feed her and to lift her up onto things that 0:43:44.840 --> 0:43:47.560 she wants to sleep on that require too much effort 0:43:47.560 --> 0:43:50.279 for her. That is why this human being exists. But 0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:54.400 the media or lapdogs for Nancy Pelosi, and that wasn't 0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:56.960 in her favor this time around because she went too far. 0:43:57.080 --> 0:44:00.920 And now she's trying to claim claim this on TV. 0:44:01.400 --> 0:44:04.120 I wonder how many fact checks will be run on this. 0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:08.640 I wonder how many journals will express their outrage at 0:44:08.680 --> 0:44:12.799 the praisingness. I mean, this is some there's lying and 0:44:12.840 --> 0:44:16.160 then they're lying. I mean, this is some next level stuff. 0:44:16.560 --> 0:44:20.400 Play clip too well. I'm not going to negotiate on TV, 0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:26.600 but the I want to have a unanimous consent. I 0:44:26.640 --> 0:44:29.680 want us to be able to go forward. And you 0:44:29.719 --> 0:44:31.279 know it's not a bill I would have written in 0:44:31.360 --> 0:44:34.000 terms of some things that relate to family medical leads 0:44:34.000 --> 0:44:39.000 that relate to worker protections, that ruling on worker protections. 0:44:39.040 --> 0:44:41.920 But we that can be done administratively. We can find 0:44:42.000 --> 0:44:46.040 other ways. Not enough money for elections, etc. At this time, 0:44:46.080 --> 0:44:50.560 all of everything we're suggesting just relates to COVID nineteen. 0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:54.839 It's not about making law for the future. It's about COVID, 0:44:54.920 --> 0:44:57.600 well except fighting COVID nineteen. It's for the future. But 0:44:57.640 --> 0:45:01.879 I mean, it's not changing policy except as it applies here. 0:45:02.320 --> 0:45:05.840 So again, many of the vote, many of the provisions 0:45:05.920 --> 0:45:14.560 in there have been greatly huh, everything in that bill. 0:45:14.600 --> 0:45:17.080 And Nancy, but you heard her. Everything in that bill, 0:45:17.120 --> 0:45:20.640 she claims relates to COVID nineteen, her version of the bill, 0:45:20.719 --> 0:45:23.040 the eleven hundred and ninety two page bill that she 0:45:23.040 --> 0:45:25.720 showed up at the last minute. And Chuck Schumer snapped 0:45:25.719 --> 0:45:28.280 to attention with the rest of the Senate Democrats and said, Nope, 0:45:28.440 --> 0:45:31.000 no cloture vote, no movement on this bill. We're going 0:45:31.040 --> 0:45:36.799 to waste more time. People are rightly very concerned about 0:45:36.800 --> 0:45:39.759 paying their bills, buying their groceries. No money in the bank, 0:45:39.840 --> 0:45:41.000 what are you doing. There's no money in the bank. 0:45:41.000 --> 0:45:42.920 People would say, all, use your credit card. What if 0:45:42.920 --> 0:45:44.839 you don't have a credit card arena, you think you're 0:45:44.880 --> 0:45:47.279 gonna get one right now, it might be a bit 0:45:47.320 --> 0:45:49.560 of a bit of a challenge you never have one before. 0:45:50.520 --> 0:45:51.799 What if you don't have a checking hand. What if 0:45:51.800 --> 0:45:54.880 you're somebody who just lives from cash paycheck to cash paycheck, 0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:59.920 as many Americans do. What exactly are they offering you? 0:46:01.480 --> 0:46:04.680 What is going on here? Why are we waiting? Why 0:46:04.719 --> 0:46:09.080 the delay? Pelosi says, it's all COVID nineteen related. That 0:46:09.239 --> 0:46:13.200 would mean you'd have to think that carbon emissions from 0:46:13.200 --> 0:46:17.200 an airline industry that's about to go bankrupt, that's about 0:46:17.280 --> 0:46:20.120 COVID nineteen making sure that they're offsetting their carbon emissions. 0:46:20.480 --> 0:46:25.640 That corporate diversity on boards or diversity on corporate boards 0:46:26.160 --> 0:46:29.959 is about COVID nineteen, same day voting, ballot harvesting, mail 0:46:30.040 --> 0:46:32.719 in voting, All these different just a wish list of 0:46:32.760 --> 0:46:36.320 liberal stuff. And then there's also the reporting that I 0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:39.319 don't think we'll ever get fully. I don't think we'll 0:46:39.320 --> 0:46:43.160 ever hear the full scope of these negotiations, but that 0:46:43.280 --> 0:46:46.520 one of the snags here was that they wanted small 0:46:46.560 --> 0:46:50.960 business funding. This was reported small business funding for planned parenthood, 0:46:51.880 --> 0:46:53.680 planned paranone has to be part of this has to 0:46:53.719 --> 0:46:58.319 be saved by the government, which just goes to show 0:46:58.360 --> 0:47:00.920 you that. I mean, the way that Theocratic Party treats 0:47:00.920 --> 0:47:05.040 planned parenthood, it's it's as though it's a branch of 0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:08.000 the Planned parenthood is a branch of the government as 0:47:08.120 --> 0:47:12.080 established in the Constitution. I mean, they're they're delusional about 0:47:12.239 --> 0:47:14.680 not just the right to abortion existing in the Constitution, 0:47:14.719 --> 0:47:17.400 but that there's some edifice of the abortion industry that 0:47:17.520 --> 0:47:21.319 is essential to our republic. I mean, they really do 0:47:21.440 --> 0:47:24.480 think this. They think that it's a symbol that planned 0:47:24.480 --> 0:47:29.080 parenthood and the abortion lobby are a symbol of liberation, 0:47:29.800 --> 0:47:33.920 women's equality, freedom, all all these different It's just obtuse 0:47:34.000 --> 0:47:39.080 and it's it's disgusting. But here we are seeing exactly 0:47:39.080 --> 0:47:41.480 where their priorities lie at this point in time. I 0:47:41.480 --> 0:47:44.400 would also note that planned parenthood in I think in 0:47:44.400 --> 0:47:47.640 Pennsylvania at this point might be happening in other places too. 0:47:48.239 --> 0:47:50.359 They always tell you why when they catch a little 0:47:50.400 --> 0:47:51.960 too much heat and people say, wait a second, will 0:47:52.000 --> 0:47:54.160 you guys, really will plan parenthood really do an abortion 0:47:54.160 --> 0:47:55.839 at you know, seven or eight months? Will they really 0:47:55.840 --> 0:47:58.120 do that. Whenever they catch too much heat because the 0:47:58.120 --> 0:48:00.600 public actually figures out what's going on, they like to 0:48:00.600 --> 0:48:02.879 fall back on this claim that abortion is only three 0:48:02.960 --> 0:48:05.880 percent of what we do, only three percent, and then 0:48:06.200 --> 0:48:08.600 we would say, well, if they'd cut out that three percent, 0:48:08.640 --> 0:48:10.719 they should be Yeah, everyone thinks that women should get 0:48:10.719 --> 0:48:13.279 mamograms and be funded for actual healthcare. So there's no 0:48:13.280 --> 0:48:16.280 problem though the three percent is the problem politically speaking, 0:48:16.320 --> 0:48:20.520 morally ethically speaking. So they've decided, do you know what 0:48:20.560 --> 0:48:23.719 the only services that Planned Parenthood in Pennsylvania is going 0:48:23.760 --> 0:48:27.120 to be offering during this shutdown. The only service not 0:48:27.320 --> 0:48:29.960 not cancer screenings, not in which they don't even they 0:48:30.040 --> 0:48:32.600 refer people out for this stuff anyway. But no, not 0:48:32.760 --> 0:48:36.080 you know, STD screening or anything that that is health related, 0:48:36.080 --> 0:48:38.480 none of that. No, no no, no. The only service they're 0:48:38.480 --> 0:48:42.239 going to continue to do is abortion. And they are 0:48:42.400 --> 0:48:47.920 being declared because there a medical facility. They are claiming 0:48:47.920 --> 0:48:50.360 the exemption that all their businesses have. So they're getting 0:48:50.400 --> 0:48:53.320 loans as a small business as as that's what the 0:48:53.360 --> 0:48:56.720 Democrats want. They want Planned Parenter to get federal dollars 0:48:56.760 --> 0:48:58.480 to make sure that they keep their staff and keep 0:48:58.520 --> 0:49:01.960 everything going and they're getting an exemption as a healthcare 0:49:02.040 --> 0:49:05.040 provider when they're not going to be providing healthcare. They're 0:49:05.080 --> 0:49:08.440 only going to be providing abortions. I know that we 0:49:08.480 --> 0:49:10.080 have a lot of things to focus on right now, 0:49:10.120 --> 0:49:14.000 but this is the the decrepit and feted soul of 0:49:14.040 --> 0:49:17.520 the Democratic Party on display for you, and they'll they'll 0:49:17.520 --> 0:49:20.520 never be able to justify this, They'll never be able 0:49:20.560 --> 0:49:22.280 to run forward. And at some point in the future. 0:49:22.280 --> 0:49:25.720 I've said it many times before, the two great moral 0:49:25.840 --> 0:49:29.160 stains on this country's history, the two great moral stains 0:49:29.239 --> 0:49:31.359 on this nation, and that we're still the greatest nation 0:49:31.360 --> 0:49:33.360 in the history of the world. And you know, I 0:49:33.440 --> 0:49:36.799 love America as much as anybody. But our two great 0:49:36.800 --> 0:49:40.200 stains will be slavery in an abortion. That is reality. 0:49:40.239 --> 0:49:42.879 But I know we have to focus more on what 0:49:42.920 --> 0:49:45.319 this bill is going to do and who it's going 0:49:45.320 --> 0:49:46.960 to help and who it's not going to help. So 0:49:47.040 --> 0:49:51.680 let me get well before I dive into that, because 0:49:51.719 --> 0:49:55.400 I have very big concerns. Do you think that Pelosi 0:49:55.480 --> 0:49:59.200 is going to be hectored by journalists over this? Do 0:49:59.200 --> 0:50:00.880 you think that they're going to chase her all around 0:50:00.920 --> 0:50:03.920 saying wait, it's all about how are windmills and solar 0:50:03.960 --> 0:50:08.399 panels related to COVID nineteen coronavirus? How is that that's 0:50:08.400 --> 0:50:11.719 what you claimed? And if it's all about it's all 0:50:11.719 --> 0:50:15.440 about coronavirus, why did you wait until the last minute 0:50:15.480 --> 0:50:17.240 to do this? We all know the answer. She's a liar. 0:50:17.320 --> 0:50:20.759 Nancy Pelosi is a liar. She's lying on a big 0:50:20.800 --> 0:50:23.200 issue when people are in pain. This isn't a Trump 0:50:23.239 --> 0:50:25.799 lie about how Trump stakes were the best stakes I've 0:50:25.800 --> 0:50:27.360 ever had. I mean, maybe they were, who knows, I 0:50:27.440 --> 0:50:30.600 never tried one who cares. This is a big lie. 0:50:30.760 --> 0:50:33.839 This is a lie that matters. You think she'll get 0:50:34.400 --> 0:50:37.600 anybody calling rout on this one, Think, oh, the brave 0:50:37.680 --> 0:50:41.719 journals Cooper and Tapper and I don't know who else, 0:50:41.760 --> 0:50:44.120 I mean MSNBC. Do they even have journalists they even 0:50:44.120 --> 0:50:45.840 call themselves journalists over there anymore? I don't know what 0:50:45.840 --> 0:50:48.160 they consider themselves. Think they're going to push her on 0:50:48.160 --> 0:50:50.640 this one, No, of course not. She's doing the left 0:50:50.680 --> 0:50:52.399 bidding and they all know it, so she'll just get 0:50:52.440 --> 0:50:55.319 a total pass. These people are disgraced. I mean, the 0:50:55.360 --> 0:51:00.400 American corporate media needs to be raised to the round 0:51:00.480 --> 0:51:04.839 and built anew with an entirely different ethos, with an 0:51:04.920 --> 0:51:07.759 entirely different approach. But that's a conversation that it will 0:51:07.760 --> 0:51:10.920 have to wait until we've saved the country and everything's okay. 0:51:11.040 --> 0:51:12.680 We'll get back to it at some point. I promise 0:51:15.320 --> 0:51:18.160 you're in the freedom Heart. This is the Buck Sex 0:51:18.239 --> 0:51:26.080 and Show podcast. After days of intense discussions, the Senate 0:51:26.160 --> 0:51:29.719 has reached a bipartisan agreement on a historic relief package 0:51:29.920 --> 0:51:32.920 for this pandemic. It will rush new resources onto the 0:51:32.920 --> 0:51:35.600 front lines of our nation's healthcare fight, and it will 0:51:35.600 --> 0:51:38.520 inject trillions of dollars of cash into the economy as 0:51:38.560 --> 0:51:42.680 fast as possible to help American workers, families, small businesses, 0:51:43.239 --> 0:51:46.720 and industries and make it through this disruption and emerge 0:51:46.800 --> 0:51:51.160 on the other side ready to soar. The bipartisan CHARISAC 0:51:51.239 --> 0:51:54.279 will squarely address each of the four big priorities that 0:51:54.400 --> 0:51:56.640 I laid out in my legislation at the beginning of 0:51:56.719 --> 0:51:59.800 the process about a week ago. It will rush financials 0:52:00.320 --> 0:52:04.200 to Americans through direct checks to households from the middle 0:52:04.200 --> 0:52:07.680 class on down, and through a significant and creative expansion 0:52:07.680 --> 0:52:12.480 of unemployment insurance. During this emergency. It will deliver historic 0:52:12.520 --> 0:52:15.680 relief to main Street America through hundreds of billions of 0:52:15.680 --> 0:52:19.000 dollars in emergency loans, so more small businesses can survive 0:52:19.120 --> 0:52:21.720 this and keep paying that worker. It will help secure 0:52:21.719 --> 0:52:25.520 our economic foundations and stabolize key national industries to prevent 0:52:25.520 --> 0:52:27.640 as many layoffs as possible. There's going to be a 0:52:27.680 --> 0:52:30.480 lot of good that this does, at least in the 0:52:30.520 --> 0:52:34.719 short term. And people. This is very interesting because we 0:52:34.719 --> 0:52:38.120 see here the government is the cause of I mean, 0:52:38.120 --> 0:52:40.360 the government has declares that cause the cause of the virus. 0:52:40.360 --> 0:52:43.320 But the government has declared the shutdown. So we're obeying 0:52:43.320 --> 0:52:46.480 a government mandate to not work, to not make money, 0:52:46.520 --> 0:52:50.120 to not do what we would normally do. So it 0:52:50.360 --> 0:52:54.839 is a government responsibility to provide for people while that's 0:52:54.840 --> 0:52:57.719 going on, right That's the same way, you know, if 0:52:57.719 --> 0:53:01.480 the government detained you, it's the government's responsibility to feed 0:53:01.560 --> 0:53:03.839 you and take care of your medical care and anything else. 0:53:03.840 --> 0:53:05.680 You know, they'll get detain you and say sorry, you're 0:53:05.680 --> 0:53:08.440 on your own now. So the government has told us 0:53:08.440 --> 0:53:12.239 a self quarantine, which is an effect a mass detention 0:53:12.800 --> 0:53:15.600 for a good reason. But they also need to help 0:53:15.640 --> 0:53:17.560 people keep the lights on and pay their bills. In 0:53:17.560 --> 0:53:20.760 the meantime, it's the right thing, but let's also remember 0:53:20.880 --> 0:53:26.000 it's a short term thing. There. The clock is ticking 0:53:26.120 --> 0:53:28.960 in every respect right now. We do not have and 0:53:29.000 --> 0:53:31.040 I think this is the this is the thinking on 0:53:31.040 --> 0:53:33.279 this issue that I believe is dangerous. We do not 0:53:33.360 --> 0:53:38.120 have an open ended timeline in shutdown, and we do 0:53:38.200 --> 0:53:41.399 not have an unending checkbook with which we can deal 0:53:41.440 --> 0:53:44.200 with all of this. We were all ready and this 0:53:44.280 --> 0:53:46.359 is why the trillions and trillions of dollars and by 0:53:46.400 --> 0:53:48.319 that you look at the Obama administration and what was 0:53:48.360 --> 0:53:52.600 spent not just in the rescue from the financial crisis, 0:53:52.600 --> 0:53:55.040 but just what was spent for the all eight years. 0:53:55.680 --> 0:53:58.920 You know, you had more addage to the national debt 0:53:58.920 --> 0:54:02.680 than I believe was added for it by every well, 0:54:02.880 --> 0:54:05.319 I don't want to say something that's numerically untrue, but 0:54:05.360 --> 0:54:07.399 it was certainly the most expensive presidency in the history 0:54:07.400 --> 0:54:10.759 of the country. That's that's for sure, in terms of 0:54:11.040 --> 0:54:13.320 in terms of overall dollars, more dollars spent for the 0:54:13.360 --> 0:54:15.920 eight years of the Obama administration than any other comparable 0:54:15.960 --> 0:54:19.000 period of time. You might say, well, what about World 0:54:19.040 --> 0:54:21.040 War Two? If we adjust for inflation, I mean, there's 0:54:21.040 --> 0:54:22.920 some but they spent a lot of money under the 0:54:22.960 --> 0:54:28.680 Obama administration, a lot of money, a lot, and we 0:54:28.760 --> 0:54:31.520 spend too much money in the Bush administration and going 0:54:31.560 --> 0:54:34.480 back and back and back, and now the debt is 0:54:34.480 --> 0:54:37.080 out of control. The debt matters, folks. We need to 0:54:37.120 --> 0:54:40.760 keep that in mind because we could do a final 0:54:40.840 --> 0:54:43.560 straw situation here if we keep this check writing on 0:54:43.640 --> 0:54:46.840 for too long.

Most importantly, 0:54:55.960 --> 0:54:59.640 the federal government will pay your salary, your full salary 0:55:00.080 --> 0:55:02.680 for now four months. We had asked for four months, 0:55:02.760 --> 0:55:05.600 and four months looks like what we're going to get 0:55:05.960 --> 0:55:08.840 when we come to this agreement. It will mean two things. 0:55:09.120 --> 0:55:12.640 Most of all, it will put money into the hands 0:55:12.760 --> 0:55:15.560 of those who need it so much because they've lost 0:55:15.600 --> 0:55:18.359 their jobs, as I said, through no fault of their own. 0:55:18.600 --> 0:55:21.200 So that is vitally important. And that will pump money 0:55:21.239 --> 0:55:23.840 into the economy, probably in a better way than anything 0:55:23.880 --> 0:55:28.319 else could do it. All right, let's assume that what 0:55:28.360 --> 0:55:30.240 they're doing right now, and there's a lot of ways 0:55:30.280 --> 0:55:33.319 that they could probably be better about this and I 0:55:33.360 --> 0:55:37.000 think that the limits from their twenty eighteen tax return 0:55:37.880 --> 0:55:39.680 the limits on this. If it takes too long to 0:55:39.680 --> 0:55:41.600 get people the money, that's a problem. So this has 0:55:41.640 --> 0:55:44.080 to be now. They've got to get these checks out 0:55:44.120 --> 0:55:48.960 this week, which is why the delay is inexcusable from 0:55:49.040 --> 0:55:53.080 Pelosi and Schumer. The partisan bull that they pulled here, 0:55:53.080 --> 0:55:55.040 and we all know what they did, and it was 0:55:55.080 --> 0:55:57.560 too obvious, it was too clear even for the media 0:55:57.600 --> 0:56:00.160 to cover for Pelosi. What does that tell you they 0:56:00.239 --> 0:56:03.040 wanted to I mean the New York Times was, uh, 0:56:03.280 --> 0:56:06.719 you know, the Democrats shut down the bill. It's Republicans fault. 0:56:06.719 --> 0:56:09.200 I mean, they tried, they did may It's not like 0:56:09.239 --> 0:56:11.400 they were too ethical for this, but they're like, Okay, 0:56:11.440 --> 0:56:13.719 even our readers are like, that's kind of that's kind 0:56:13.760 --> 0:56:17.320 of come on, come on, guys. There are limits. There 0:56:17.360 --> 0:56:21.400 are even for crazy Libs. There are limits for what 0:56:21.440 --> 0:56:26.560 they're willing to believe from their own left wing news organizations. 0:56:26.680 --> 0:56:32.759 So the the dollar amounts are that's an issue. I 0:56:32.760 --> 0:56:35.280 don't mean just is it enough money for people? Depends 0:56:35.320 --> 0:56:38.600 on where you are, if you know, if you're living 0:56:38.719 --> 0:56:42.000 right now, I mean, well, we've got fantastic station out 0:56:42.040 --> 0:56:47.160 in Omaha, KFAB. If you're living in Omaha, you are 0:56:47.200 --> 0:56:48.560 going to be able to get a lot further on 0:56:48.600 --> 0:56:51.200 that twelve hundred dollars than you would listening out in 0:56:51.280 --> 0:56:55.440 Los Angeles on KiB right. And if you're living in 0:56:56.200 --> 0:56:59.720 you know, the Albany area w g Y, you're probably 0:56:59.719 --> 0:57:04.200 going to have higher expenses than if you're living out 0:57:04.239 --> 0:57:07.160 in four Win Indiana on who Woo listening on WOWO. 0:57:07.480 --> 0:57:10.439 You know, so money doesn't go the same in terms 0:57:10.480 --> 0:57:12.560 of what your expenses are around the country. But they're 0:57:12.600 --> 0:57:15.600 not even they're not adjusting its state by state. They're 0:57:15.600 --> 0:57:17.440 just saying, look, this is the check that we're sending, 0:57:17.440 --> 0:57:20.240 and here's here's what we're going to do, and the 0:57:21.520 --> 0:57:24.080 limits on this. I mean, if you made over ninety 0:57:24.120 --> 0:57:28.480 nine thousand dollars two years ago, that's there are a 0:57:28.480 --> 0:57:30.680 lot of assumptions baked into that. What if you've started 0:57:30.720 --> 0:57:32.600 a small business and you're two years into it. Anyway, 0:57:32.640 --> 0:57:34.440 it's clearly imperfect. So there's a lot of ways you 0:57:34.480 --> 0:57:37.000 can pull it apart. And everyone knows that. I'm not 0:57:37.080 --> 0:57:39.360 even sure how helpful it is because Okay, well, now 0:57:39.400 --> 0:57:42.520 here's where we are and there probably will be another round. 0:57:42.920 --> 0:57:47.840 There'll be another series of bailout efforts and measures, because 0:57:48.040 --> 0:57:51.720 right now the consensus seems to be locked down. As 0:57:51.760 --> 0:57:55.320 long as we need that's what's important. And anybody who 0:57:55.320 --> 0:57:58.400 said anyone who says otherwise and is willing to accept 0:57:58.480 --> 0:58:02.880 any elevated risk whatsoever of this virus spreading, and remember, 0:58:02.880 --> 0:58:05.440 elevated risk could just be for people who aren't on 0:58:05.520 --> 0:58:08.480 lockdown and leave and work. This is what some have 0:58:08.560 --> 0:58:11.480 been suggesting. Maybe if you're if you are out of 0:58:11.520 --> 0:58:14.200 a high risk cohort and you want to go into 0:58:14.200 --> 0:58:16.160 the office or you want to be more you know, 0:58:16.200 --> 0:58:18.280 you want to open up. But it's going to be 0:58:18.320 --> 0:58:20.520 very tricky because you know, for the service industry, for example, 0:58:20.560 --> 0:58:22.440 you need people to be able to congregate. So I 0:58:22.520 --> 0:58:26.680 understand that that's and that becomes very tricky. How do 0:58:26.720 --> 0:58:28.240 you draw those lines of what are you gonna do? 0:58:29.160 --> 0:58:32.320 But it's very likely there's going to be another round 0:58:32.440 --> 0:58:35.240 of check writing from the federal government. And to people 0:58:35.280 --> 0:58:39.000 who say that's not a problem and that can't result 0:58:39.000 --> 0:58:43.800 in anything really bad, I would just respond with, Okay, 0:58:44.440 --> 0:58:46.400 why doesn't the government, I mean, just do this as 0:58:46.440 --> 0:58:50.320 a thought experiment. Why does the government limited to twelve 0:58:50.400 --> 0:58:52.520 hundred dollars you know, a person, and five hundred dollars 0:58:52.560 --> 0:58:54.040 a kid. Why why not just write everyone a check 0:58:54.080 --> 0:58:56.040 for fifty grand? I mean, you could say a million, 0:58:56.080 --> 0:58:58.560 but I mean, I guess that's just everybody would realize 0:58:58.600 --> 0:59:00.920 how catastrophic that is, right, just because the numbers so 0:59:01.000 --> 0:59:04.120 high that what is a dollar worth at that point? Okay? 0:59:04.160 --> 0:59:06.480 Why not write everyone a check for maybe fifty grand? 0:59:06.680 --> 0:59:08.600 Let's say, why not write ever a check for five grand? 0:59:09.400 --> 0:59:11.840 Five thousand dollars in the federal government right now, it's 0:59:11.840 --> 0:59:13.880 not that much more than what they're already doing. Why not? 0:59:13.880 --> 0:59:18.000 Why not five grand? Well, you realize, hold on a second, 0:59:18.280 --> 0:59:22.440 what ends up happening to the dollar and what happens 0:59:22.480 --> 0:59:26.280 to the treasury treasury bonds and to the role of 0:59:26.320 --> 0:59:30.640 the dollars a reserve currency. There are still these economic 0:59:30.760 --> 0:59:35.840 realities that exist. There are still these economic pressures that 0:59:35.880 --> 0:59:40.680 are out there, and they don't go away just because 0:59:40.680 --> 0:59:44.040 we're in the midst of a pandemic. They won't change, 0:59:44.080 --> 0:59:47.280 they won't shift just because we're in really rough shape 0:59:47.360 --> 0:59:52.400 right now. Inflation doesn't care about a virus, right the 0:59:52.440 --> 0:59:55.840 collapse of the dollar doesn't care about the human suffering 0:59:55.880 --> 0:59:59.760 that's going on before or after the collapse. And if 1:00:00.000 --> 1:00:02.280 that's not a concern that I do need someone to explain, 1:00:02.320 --> 1:00:04.200 why are we being so stingy? Why not just write 1:00:04.240 --> 1:00:07.040 a check for ten grand to everybody. They're already saying 1:00:07.040 --> 1:00:09.000 they're writing for couples. It'll be what twenty four hundred? 1:00:09.040 --> 1:00:10.680 When I make a ten grand? Really help people out? 1:00:10.920 --> 1:00:12.840 Give them a few months, you know, to chill, don't 1:00:12.840 --> 1:00:18.000 worry about it right well, because the numbers matter. The 1:00:18.080 --> 1:00:20.959 numbers matter because we have an economy that is built on, 1:00:21.000 --> 1:00:26.160 at some level, an understanding of the government's ability to 1:00:26.200 --> 1:00:29.560 back up its obligations. And this is true all over 1:00:29.600 --> 1:00:31.920 the world too, that people think the United States government 1:00:31.960 --> 1:00:36.520 is good for its obligations. If that perception dramatically changes, 1:00:38.040 --> 1:00:42.400 we are in for a seismic shift in the wealth 1:00:42.560 --> 1:00:46.240 and influence of this country. And that's what a lot 1:00:46.240 --> 1:00:48.400 of us are trying to avoid. That is what people 1:00:48.520 --> 1:00:51.080 are looking at now and saying, hold on a minute, 1:00:52.400 --> 1:00:54.200 what are we what are we going to do here? 1:00:54.240 --> 1:00:56.600 If in two or three months we still haven't I 1:00:56.640 --> 1:00:58.800 want to talk about what the long term, longer term 1:00:58.840 --> 1:01:01.640 plan is, and we still haven't beaten this. The economy 1:01:01.680 --> 1:01:04.320 is still largely shut down. It's just to keep writing checks. 1:01:05.360 --> 1:01:08.120 When does that worry people? And I understand that there 1:01:08.680 --> 1:01:10.400 are some folks right now this is gaining a lot 1:01:10.400 --> 1:01:13.760 of stay home. It doesn't matter. It doesn't No one 1:01:13.800 --> 1:01:17.520 cares about the economy, No one cares about the stock market. 1:01:17.560 --> 1:01:19.040 It's just all that. This is what you're hearing from 1:01:19.080 --> 1:01:24.520 people who think that they're smart and wise. Okay, then 1:01:24.560 --> 1:01:25.880 why not just have a lack of one? Why not 1:01:25.880 --> 1:01:28.560 just accept we're being quarantined to the envor. Everybody somehow 1:01:28.640 --> 1:01:31.040 understands that quarantine like this to the end of the 1:01:31.080 --> 1:01:36.760 year would be catastrophic, and with that financial catastrophe would 1:01:36.800 --> 1:01:41.200 come untold misery, lack of access to routine medical care, 1:01:41.400 --> 1:01:44.240 lack of access to food, all the Everyone understands that. 1:01:44.640 --> 1:01:46.720 So if we know, and maybe some people don't, but 1:01:46.760 --> 1:01:49.560 they're just truly out of their minds. Although there are 1:01:49.600 --> 1:01:51.280 people like that, they're saying, we could just stay home. 1:01:52.280 --> 1:01:54.120 You have to run the experiment through in your head. Okay, 1:01:54.160 --> 1:01:55.960 then why not just let everyone stay home all the time? 1:01:56.440 --> 1:01:58.280 Stick we can just stay like this? The government can 1:01:58.320 --> 1:02:01.320 you just keep writing checks? The government can just do 1:02:01.360 --> 1:02:05.000 whatever it wants. There are pressures here from the numbers. 1:02:05.320 --> 1:02:09.959 That's why there are interest rates, there are bondholders, there 1:02:10.000 --> 1:02:16.520 are obligations all across are inordinately I mean enormously complicated 1:02:16.600 --> 1:02:19.960 financial system. And if you just say, well, the government's 1:02:19.960 --> 1:02:22.640 gonna just write checks for everybody and the amounts don't 1:02:22.680 --> 1:02:25.880 matter and the time duration doesn't matter, then you're begging 1:02:25.880 --> 1:02:28.200 for the absolute collapse of the American economy. That that's 1:02:28.200 --> 1:02:31.720 what you're really waiting for. It's going to happen, right then, 1:02:31.880 --> 1:02:34.920 we understand that, I hope. There are people right now 1:02:34.960 --> 1:02:37.120 who don't. And the moment you bring this up, they say, 1:02:37.480 --> 1:02:40.200 you just want grandma to die. That's what they're yelling 1:02:40.200 --> 1:02:43.720 at you, which is a horrible, insidious and dumb thing 1:02:43.800 --> 1:02:46.640 to say to a person that's trying to think critically 1:02:46.640 --> 1:02:49.640 and honestly about how best to tackle this nightmare that 1:02:49.680 --> 1:02:54.640 the country's in. But it's gonna get it's gonna get 1:02:54.680 --> 1:02:57.880 scary with the spending, it's gonna get scary. That's because 1:02:57.880 --> 1:02:59.720 people just they don't they don't want to believe that 1:02:59.720 --> 1:03:01.320 I want except and they don't want to make the 1:03:01.440 --> 1:03:05.480 hard decisions now about what is tolerable risk to the 1:03:05.800 --> 1:03:12.080 economy versus tolerable acceleration of risk from the growth in 1:03:12.240 --> 1:03:16.200 risk for the virus in certain parts of the country, 1:03:16.240 --> 1:03:19.120 certain populations at certain times. No one seems to be 1:03:19.120 --> 1:03:21.720 able to answer that or wants to answer that right now, 1:03:21.760 --> 1:03:23.640 and if you try, you get yelled at, which is 1:03:23.640 --> 1:03:28.840 not good. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the 1:03:28.960 --> 1:03:35.840 Buck Sexton Show podcast. But to everyone who has left 1:03:35.880 --> 1:03:40.200 New York over the last few days, because of the 1:03:40.320 --> 1:03:44.680 rate of the number of cases, you may have been 1:03:44.760 --> 1:03:47.560 exposed before you left New York. And I think, like 1:03:47.800 --> 1:03:51.640 Governor de Santos has put out today, everybody who was 1:03:51.680 --> 1:03:54.360 in New York should be self quarantining for the next 1:03:54.440 --> 1:03:57.920 fourteen days to ensure that the virus doesn't spread to others, 1:03:58.320 --> 1:04:02.320 no matter where they have gone, whether it's Florida, North Carolina, 1:04:02.800 --> 1:04:06.080 or out to far reaches of Long Island. We are 1:04:06.120 --> 1:04:09.800 starting to see new cases across New across Long Island 1:04:10.160 --> 1:04:15.479 that suggests people have left the city. Yep, that's what's 1:04:15.480 --> 1:04:22.120 going on. People moving around spreads this. So those who 1:04:22.520 --> 1:04:26.840 ran for the country house, the cabin, the chateau, the 1:04:27.760 --> 1:04:32.760 relatives home, whatever it may be, might might have accidentally 1:04:32.880 --> 1:04:35.800 brought this into even more areas, which could stretch public 1:04:35.800 --> 1:04:41.680 health systems even more. This is very concerning. You have 1:04:41.760 --> 1:04:47.160 hospital systems now, remember New York is overwhelmed, well will 1:04:47.200 --> 1:04:51.280 be overwhelmed based on the numbers that they're projecting. The 1:04:51.320 --> 1:04:54.240 hospital system here, which when we have huge hospitals, they 1:04:54.240 --> 1:04:56.960 are very advanced and they, as hospitals go, are well funded. 1:04:57.040 --> 1:04:59.880 I mean, I know something about the hospital system here, 1:05:00.880 --> 1:05:05.200 and there are other parts of the country where there 1:05:05.280 --> 1:05:09.160 is far lesser access to hospitals at all. Now there's 1:05:09.200 --> 1:05:12.640 also less population density. So clearly, you know, you look 1:05:12.680 --> 1:05:16.040 at these things and try to assess what the risks 1:05:16.080 --> 1:05:19.120 are and where there's calls for real concern versus where 1:05:19.160 --> 1:05:22.480 we can manage things. But you're going to see the 1:05:22.560 --> 1:05:25.959 spread of this in a whole bunch of places all 1:05:26.000 --> 1:05:28.480 over the country that you hadn't really anticipated. They're being 1:05:28.520 --> 1:05:32.880 spread and this is why having a system in place. 1:05:32.920 --> 1:05:36.800 You know, the CUOMO was talking this morning about moving 1:05:37.160 --> 1:05:41.360 effectively focusing in federal resources for the ventilators and the 1:05:41.480 --> 1:05:45.439 personal protective equipment in one place, which right now would 1:05:45.440 --> 1:05:47.959 be New York, with the understanding that as New York 1:05:48.000 --> 1:05:52.280 brings down the curve, you can then move it to 1:05:52.320 --> 1:05:56.280 the next place, which you could be. You might be 1:05:56.440 --> 1:05:58.920 in California, might be in Florida, might be in Louisiana, 1:05:59.040 --> 1:06:00.760 might be in Texas. You know, we got to just 1:06:00.960 --> 1:06:03.760 see where it is and that's going to be logistically 1:06:03.800 --> 1:06:05.960 a challenge, but it is one way of dealing with this. 1:06:06.040 --> 1:06:10.320 You know, if you can move fifteen twenty thousand ventilators, 1:06:10.320 --> 1:06:13.360 if you can surge that to where it's needed quickly 1:06:13.480 --> 1:06:16.800 enough that maybe I'm just telling you what the Governor 1:06:16.840 --> 1:06:21.360 of New York was offering up today, a mobile surge 1:06:21.400 --> 1:06:24.480 capacity for dealing with this. That will have to happen 1:06:25.240 --> 1:06:26.880 in many parts of the country or they'll have to 1:06:26.920 --> 1:06:29.479 figure something else out, because you are going to see 1:06:29.880 --> 1:06:33.400 smaller hospital systems are already reporting in that they're overwhelmed 1:06:33.400 --> 1:06:36.000 in places that you would not expect. Because if you 1:06:36.080 --> 1:06:39.080 get you know, thirty or forty people that need ventilators 1:06:39.080 --> 1:06:42.000 in a small hospital, that is way outside of what 1:06:42.000 --> 1:06:44.000 they usually expect from a flu season or anything else, 1:06:44.600 --> 1:06:47.200 all of a sudden, now you've got a capacity problem. Now, 1:06:47.240 --> 1:06:49.120 I guess are moving people to other areas. And remember, 1:06:49.160 --> 1:06:53.240 whenever you're moving somebody who is suffering from COVID nineteen 1:06:53.240 --> 1:06:55.480 and especially either they're having trouble breathing, they clearly have 1:06:55.520 --> 1:06:59.280 the symptoms. They likely even if they have them in tested, 1:06:59.560 --> 1:07:02.160 know that this is what they're facing, and if you 1:07:02.240 --> 1:07:05.360 move them, you risk spreading the disease a bit. So 1:07:06.360 --> 1:07:10.240 this is where we have to start getting creative with 1:07:10.240 --> 1:07:12.320 our solutions and finding ways to make sure we do 1:07:12.320 --> 1:07:16.120 the maximum possible. We also have to note that even 1:07:16.200 --> 1:07:18.560 you know, we get enough ventilators in place, that's necessary right, 1:07:18.600 --> 1:07:22.040 that gives people a fighting chance, but the ventilators are 1:07:22.040 --> 1:07:24.200 no guarantee, and the governor's been saying that too. It's 1:07:24.200 --> 1:07:27.080 not like you get on a ventilator and the fight 1:07:27.440 --> 1:07:29.640 is likely to go your way. I think the odds 1:07:29.640 --> 1:07:31.440 are certainly in the favor of a person who gets 1:07:31.480 --> 1:07:33.840 on a ventilator soon enough, based on what we've seen 1:07:33.880 --> 1:07:38.160 so far. But there's still real cause for concern with this. 1:07:38.680 --> 1:07:41.240 I mean cause for concern is a dramatic understatement, but 1:07:42.080 --> 1:07:43.680 this is where the country is right now. We're trying 1:07:43.680 --> 1:07:48.840 to find a way to deal with this expected influx, 1:07:48.840 --> 1:07:52.240 and it is going to be it is happening. We 1:07:52.320 --> 1:07:55.240 are at the surge the surge is now. It is 1:07:55.280 --> 1:07:57.520 going on. It's definitely going to be going on here 1:07:57.520 --> 1:08:00.640 in New York City where I'm brought casting to you from, 1:08:00.680 --> 1:08:03.360 and it will be in many other places across the country. 1:08:03.840 --> 1:08:06.920 Here's something that I don't think is getting enough attention 1:08:06.960 --> 1:08:09.920 now as we consider and this is everyone's involved in this, 1:08:09.960 --> 1:08:12.920 so everyone is. It is incumbent upon all of us, 1:08:13.040 --> 1:08:14.760 especially where a lot of us are stuck at home. 1:08:15.040 --> 1:08:19.320 By the way, just also a shout out to truck drivers, longshoreman, 1:08:19.840 --> 1:08:27.360 you know, ups, postal service, you know, electric utility, water utility, sanitation. 1:08:27.840 --> 1:08:30.320 I think I might have said garbage disposal, but I 1:08:30.360 --> 1:08:33.519 know that's actually something that's under your sinc. But sanitation workers, 1:08:33.520 --> 1:08:36.760 people that pick up garbage and recycling for cities, for 1:08:36.920 --> 1:08:40.840 municipalities and counties. Thank you for doing what you are doing. 1:08:40.960 --> 1:08:45.760 You are appreciated every single day. We are we are 1:08:45.840 --> 1:08:47.880 indebted to you for what you are doing. I know 1:08:47.920 --> 1:08:49.439 this is your job and a lot of you take 1:08:49.479 --> 1:08:52.800 particular pride in doing your job. At this point in time, 1:08:52.840 --> 1:08:55.960 I've been getting your messages about that, but we really 1:08:56.000 --> 1:09:00.439 do mean it, We really thank you for this every 1:09:00.520 --> 1:09:01.920 day out there. I know people that are scared. I 1:09:01.920 --> 1:09:03.360 know people that aren't in the high risk group who 1:09:03.360 --> 1:09:04.559 are kind of scared to leave their house in New 1:09:04.640 --> 1:09:06.840 York right now. They don't want to go outside. They 1:09:06.840 --> 1:09:09.559 don't want to go outside. You can imagine going from 1:09:09.600 --> 1:09:12.640 building to building and having to take care of the 1:09:12.680 --> 1:09:15.040 city sanitation. But of course it's absolutely essential. And what 1:09:15.080 --> 1:09:17.240 would happen if in any US city all of a 1:09:17.320 --> 1:09:19.720 sudden we just had trash piling of everywhere. Not only 1:09:19.720 --> 1:09:24.360 would it be unsightly, it's a major health hazard at 1:09:24.360 --> 1:09:26.040 a time we're already dealing with the health crisis. So 1:09:26.160 --> 1:09:27.720 thank you all for what you're doing. And I don't 1:09:27.720 --> 1:09:30.040 know a lot of you listen to this show. And 1:09:30.120 --> 1:09:36.040 also doctors, nurses, first responders, police fire. You know, you're 1:09:36.400 --> 1:09:40.920 holding society together right now. You are carrying the American 1:09:40.960 --> 1:09:44.920 Republic right now on your shoulders in a way that 1:09:45.280 --> 1:09:49.559 you know, usually is left to those who are serving 1:09:49.560 --> 1:09:54.760 the military overseas and military overseas still doing what they do, 1:09:55.040 --> 1:09:57.080 and I know there's been a surge in cases for 1:09:57.120 --> 1:09:59.439 them too. So these are the people those who are 1:09:59.479 --> 1:10:03.320 not able to just stay at home and telecommute, which 1:10:03.360 --> 1:10:05.120 is necessary. You know, people have to keep doing their 1:10:05.200 --> 1:10:07.040 jobs too, and I'm not, by any means trying to 1:10:07.320 --> 1:10:10.240 minimize that. And everyone's making sacrifices different ways, but those 1:10:10.280 --> 1:10:12.840 who are still showing up for their jobs, thank you, 1:10:13.680 --> 1:10:17.280 especially those who are doing it on the security, safety 1:10:17.280 --> 1:10:20.880 and provision of essential resources side. You are keeping this place, 1:10:20.960 --> 1:10:25.519 You're keeping this country alive. I don't know. That's also 1:10:25.560 --> 1:10:28.240 where I wanted to get to. When do we think 1:10:28.280 --> 1:10:33.760 that this becomes manageable where there's not risk? I believe it, 1:10:33.840 --> 1:10:35.160 there's ay, And this is what I've been trying to 1:10:35.160 --> 1:10:36.920 get at, and I think maybe I was a little 1:10:37.360 --> 1:10:39.639 a little early with some of this. People weren't ready 1:10:39.640 --> 1:10:42.080 to hear. It doesn't mean it's not true, but there 1:10:42.080 --> 1:10:43.640 will have to come a time and we say, all right, 1:10:43.640 --> 1:10:45.040 we're going to allow more people to go out of 1:10:45.040 --> 1:10:48.080 their homes and there will still be risk. There is 1:10:48.120 --> 1:10:51.920 no future in this year where there won't be risk. 1:10:53.280 --> 1:10:56.400 Right unless someone develops a miracle cure, which no one 1:10:56.400 --> 1:10:59.360 thinks is going to happen. There's going to be risk 1:10:59.479 --> 1:11:02.479 leaving your home because we're not going to eradicate this disease. 1:11:02.479 --> 1:11:06.280 In fact, most experts believe that it will come back 1:11:06.360 --> 1:11:08.280 and that it will be cyclical and that it will 1:11:08.320 --> 1:11:11.639 be bouncing around the population and so it'll go down. 1:11:11.680 --> 1:11:12.920 And I think the warm weather is going to be 1:11:13.000 --> 1:11:14.720 very helpful, and I will talk about some causes for 1:11:14.760 --> 1:11:18.559 optimism coming up here. But when do we think it's 1:11:18.600 --> 1:11:22.960 going to be safe to work again? There will be 1:11:23.000 --> 1:11:26.840 no point and serious people need to understand this. There's 1:11:26.880 --> 1:11:28.960 not going to be a point at which anytime soon, 1:11:29.080 --> 1:11:31.760 for months and months, at which you will not be 1:11:32.400 --> 1:11:36.200 accepting an increased risk to the population from this virus 1:11:36.320 --> 1:11:40.120 by going to work and engaging in more activity. And 1:11:41.040 --> 1:11:43.360 we also know that we can't just say locked into 1:11:43.400 --> 1:11:45.559 our homes for months and months and months. So this 1:11:45.640 --> 1:11:47.200 is what we need to balance out. This is what 1:11:47.320 --> 1:11:49.840 society has to tackle, what our government and all of 1:11:49.920 --> 1:11:53.479 us have to figure out right now. We got to 1:11:53.520 --> 1:11:57.920 start establishing what the baseline is for that kind of 1:11:57.960 --> 1:12:02.080 activity and what acceptable rice will be because there is 1:12:02.160 --> 1:12:05.880 no future anytime soon in which there is no risk. 1:12:06.680 --> 1:12:10.160 Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember 1:12:10.240 --> 1:12:14.000 to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever 1:12:14.080 --> 1:12:17.439 you get your podcasts. I want to say we still 1:12:17.479 --> 1:12:22.880 have folks that aren't following the recommendations, and that ultimately 1:12:23.000 --> 1:12:26.200 hurts all of us. I'm about to do the update 1:12:26.320 --> 1:12:29.080 today of new cases, but I want to say, without 1:12:29.160 --> 1:12:33.800 identifying which one, we have a positive case today from 1:12:33.800 --> 1:12:37.920 someone who attended a corona virus party. And this is 1:12:37.960 --> 1:12:42.040 the part where II, the person to tell everybody to 1:12:42.040 --> 1:12:46.240 be calm, have to remain call myself, because anyone who 1:12:46.240 --> 1:12:50.080 goes to something like this may think that they are indestructible, 1:12:50.479 --> 1:12:54.519 but it's someone else's loved one that they are going 1:12:54.560 --> 1:12:57.400 to hurt. We are battling for the health and even 1:12:57.439 --> 1:13:01.880 the lives of our parents and our grandparents. And don't 1:13:01.920 --> 1:13:04.960 be so callous as to intentionally go to something and 1:13:05.040 --> 1:13:08.360 expose yourself to something that can kill other people. We 1:13:08.400 --> 1:13:13.519 ought to be much better than that. I gotta tell you, 1:13:13.600 --> 1:13:15.719 I didn't know that there was such a thing as 1:13:15.760 --> 1:13:18.639 a coronavirus party. Producer Mark, had you? Had you heard 1:13:18.640 --> 1:13:22.840 about this? No? But nothing shocks me anymore. It turns 1:13:22.840 --> 1:13:25.439 out that some of the spring Breakers who were down 1:13:25.439 --> 1:13:27.679 in Florida, who were like, yeah, yeah, and they can't 1:13:27.720 --> 1:13:30.920 get carouny virus. You've read you it's like new bid. Yeah, 1:13:31.680 --> 1:13:34.320 some of them, the ones that there's a pretty famous 1:13:34.320 --> 1:13:36.720 photo now of them doing I don't I don't know 1:13:36.760 --> 1:13:39.439 if we're taking shots off the small of each other's backs. 1:13:39.439 --> 1:13:40.720 Do you know what I'm talking about. It's like a 1:13:40.760 --> 1:13:43.920 shot train or something like a body shot. Yeah, like 1:13:43.920 --> 1:13:47.160 they're taking body shots but off the like I don't know, 1:13:47.200 --> 1:13:49.200 I don't know. It's a family show, but they're on public. 1:13:49.240 --> 1:13:52.240 I mean they're clothed, but I just anyway, it turns 1:13:52.240 --> 1:13:53.680 out one of them, I don't know which one. I 1:13:53.680 --> 1:13:56.519 don't think they're identifying, but one of them has come 1:13:56.600 --> 1:14:00.920 down with COVID nineteen. Now, so even on spring break 1:14:01.479 --> 1:14:04.639 where it's warm and everyone was drinking and partying, yeah, 1:14:04.920 --> 1:14:07.000 you can still there. I mean, there's a lot of 1:14:07.040 --> 1:14:10.679 things you can catch, but they caught COVID nineteen. And 1:14:11.400 --> 1:14:13.680 that's not a surprise to anybody that was looking at 1:14:13.680 --> 1:14:16.360 this saying what are you guys doing down there? And 1:14:16.360 --> 1:14:19.160 they shut down the beaches. It's kind of a shame 1:14:19.240 --> 1:14:21.240 that they they shut things down when there are some 1:14:21.280 --> 1:14:24.479 people who comply and others who don't. Obviously, taking body 1:14:24.520 --> 1:14:28.160 shots is not complying, but there are some activities that 1:14:28.400 --> 1:14:31.519 are you know a little bit more in the Is 1:14:31.560 --> 1:14:34.120 this really like tennis is shut down now in DC, 1:14:34.960 --> 1:14:37.240 you're more than six feet away from somebody playing tennis 1:14:37.240 --> 1:14:38.760 against them. I don't know. That seems to me a 1:14:38.840 --> 1:14:41.960 little a little tough. Basketball shut down because you're going 1:14:42.040 --> 1:14:44.720 to have close physical contact playing basketball. That's here in 1:14:44.720 --> 1:14:47.560 New York City. So there's only some sports, some activities 1:14:47.560 --> 1:14:52.080 that you're approved to do right now. And it turns 1:14:52.080 --> 1:14:54.080 out that in the gym in my building, everybody did 1:14:54.120 --> 1:14:56.800 return the equipment that they took, which is kind of 1:14:56.800 --> 1:14:59.400 funny to me because I thought about borrowing that equipment too. 1:15:00.000 --> 1:15:03.360 Because I'm just a man. Quarantine bod is going to 1:15:03.479 --> 1:15:05.920 hit the buckster hard. Yeah, I'm gonna show up here 1:15:06.200 --> 1:15:08.920 in you know, a couple of months, like twenty or 1:15:08.960 --> 1:15:12.000 thirty pounds heavier with a shaved head because I'm just 1:15:12.000 --> 1:15:13.920 gonna get so sick. I can't do anything about the 1:15:14.000 --> 1:15:16.599 massive swoop. You know. I know these are dumb things. 1:15:16.600 --> 1:15:19.200 I've got friends who are complaining that they can't you know, 1:15:19.320 --> 1:15:21.639 I know ladies who say they can't get their nails done, 1:15:21.680 --> 1:15:23.400 and that's you know, annoying. I mean, these are these 1:15:23.400 --> 1:15:25.360 are the little petty things that we all know don't matter. 1:15:25.520 --> 1:15:27.479 We're not really complaining about it. But if we're gonna 1:15:27.520 --> 1:15:30.040 have a little fun with our circumstance now in quarantine, 1:15:31.200 --> 1:15:33.000 you know, this is the stuff that you just gotta 1:15:33.400 --> 1:15:36.640 you gotta roll with somehow. You got to find a 1:15:36.680 --> 1:15:41.400 way to take care of yourself and in the new 1:15:41.439 --> 1:15:45.040 with new challenges. Um. I will say that I'm trying 1:15:45.080 --> 1:15:48.120 to keep my apartment as clean as I possibly can, 1:15:48.720 --> 1:15:51.320 recognizing that, but you spend so much time in it, 1:15:51.320 --> 1:15:53.720 I feel like it's easier for things to pile up 1:15:53.720 --> 1:15:56.360 and get dirty. Plus I got a little dog running 1:15:56.360 --> 1:15:59.920 around here, though she's actually quite clean. I'm much messier. 1:16:00.120 --> 1:16:02.000 Human being is much messier than the canine in this 1:16:02.080 --> 1:16:04.680 in this context, but I don't have the luxury that's 1:16:04.680 --> 1:16:08.760 a producer Mark has, where he's able to just keep 1:16:08.800 --> 1:16:11.120 it buzzed. I do have clippers though, for the beard, 1:16:11.280 --> 1:16:13.519 So maybe maybe I just try, what do I Mark? 1:16:13.600 --> 1:16:17.640 Do it? If I put on the highest whatever it is, 1:16:17.680 --> 1:16:20.720 like a you know, probably an inch or an inch 1:16:20.720 --> 1:16:24.080 and a half guard on the clippers and I just 1:16:24.120 --> 1:16:27.479 went after it, I probably could. My parents would would 1:16:27.680 --> 1:16:29.160 you know? People would be like, what are you thinking? 1:16:29.520 --> 1:16:32.920 But I probably could shave it down right, shave the 1:16:32.960 --> 1:16:34.640 head down if I would not shave it all the way, 1:16:34.680 --> 1:16:37.040 but like give like a like a crew cut, like 1:16:37.080 --> 1:16:43.080 a trim. Yeah, I mean you could. I don't know. 1:16:43.120 --> 1:16:45.880 It sounds like it's terrible idea, but you could. I mean, 1:16:45.880 --> 1:16:47.680 this is a terrible idea. But now I'm thinking, it's like, 1:16:47.680 --> 1:16:51.000 what if I live stream this just to attain people? 1:16:51.000 --> 1:16:54.160 I mean it would be great content. Oh my god, 1:16:55.040 --> 1:16:56.680 it would be what do we have to change all 1:16:56.720 --> 1:16:58.600 the head shots? Like? How would that work? I know 1:16:58.680 --> 1:17:01.679 I'd look so ridiculous, but I can't look. You can't 1:17:01.680 --> 1:17:04.559 get there's no barbershops open. You can't get a haircut 1:17:04.720 --> 1:17:06.560 right now? It is you don't go to a barbershop. 1:17:06.600 --> 1:17:09.360 You go to a salon. I do not go to 1:17:09.439 --> 1:17:13.720 us salon. Excuse me, sir, I will have you it's 1:17:13.800 --> 1:17:17.080 more salon than barbershop. I'm sure this is a this 1:17:17.200 --> 1:17:19.360 is false. This is how much do you paid for 1:17:19.400 --> 1:17:22.360 a haircut? Buck? Fifty bucks? Yeah, that's that's a salon 1:17:23.840 --> 1:17:25.519 if you really want to know. Actually, I go to 1:17:25.600 --> 1:17:28.280 a let's see a producer. Nick has thoughts on this too. 1:17:28.320 --> 1:17:32.400 What's what's he telling me? I go to a hair 1:17:32.560 --> 1:17:37.880 and makeup guy from the TV news business. Who can 1:17:37.880 --> 1:17:39.840 do it? Who does it right there while the news 1:17:39.840 --> 1:17:41.680 anchors are getting ready? That's actually so I got kind 1:17:41.680 --> 1:17:43.519 of a hook up with that, but the studios are 1:17:43.520 --> 1:17:45.200 all shut down, so I can't do that anymore. So 1:17:45.240 --> 1:17:47.760 I technically don't even really. I used to go to 1:17:47.800 --> 1:17:50.120 a barber, though, a very well known barber on the 1:17:50.200 --> 1:17:51.800 Upper East Side of Manhattan. I will have you know 1:17:52.280 --> 1:17:54.120 where none of thos a yster Donald Trump used to 1:17:54.120 --> 1:17:59.439 get his haircut. He definitely goes to a salon um. 1:17:59.560 --> 1:18:02.280 I don't know who. I'd be curious though, who I look. 1:18:02.320 --> 1:18:05.880 I know this is folks. This is intentionally frivolous talk, 1:18:05.960 --> 1:18:09.240 because we can't just wallow in the in the you know, 1:18:09.320 --> 1:18:12.439 mounting tension and for some near despair right now. We've 1:18:12.400 --> 1:18:14.680 got to think about other things too. Sometimes. Yeah, I 1:18:14.720 --> 1:18:18.479 don't know, you're gonna have a quarantine cut, quarantine cut, buck, 1:18:18.520 --> 1:18:21.320 at some point, I do think the beard going And 1:18:21.400 --> 1:18:22.920 for a lot of you right in, tell me what 1:18:22.920 --> 1:18:24.280 you're doing. I mean, I want to know what the 1:18:24.280 --> 1:18:25.880 folks are up to out there. Let me know if 1:18:25.920 --> 1:18:29.040 you're you're going to be doing your own haircut, if 1:18:29.040 --> 1:18:33.400 you're planning on making any changes. Um. I Also, I 1:18:33.439 --> 1:18:37.799 shared on Instagram, I'd made seared scallops in a brown 1:18:37.920 --> 1:18:40.559 butter herb sauce. I used chive. I probably should have 1:18:40.640 --> 1:18:45.120 used tarragon. Tarragon's very good with the I like tarragon 1:18:45.200 --> 1:18:48.879 with seafood. Also, you know, pruser Mark, what's your favorite 1:18:49.000 --> 1:18:53.439 aromatic or herb? I don't say I have one buck 1:18:54.640 --> 1:18:58.280 who has a favorite. Let's work on that. For red meat, 1:18:58.320 --> 1:19:00.439 I'm a rosemary guy, so I think a little bit 1:19:00.439 --> 1:19:03.800 of finely chopped rosemary adds a very nice little little 1:19:04.160 --> 1:19:07.280 to a red meat. But well, what are the producer 1:19:07.320 --> 1:19:11.520 mark tips for staying staying happy, healthy, insane and quarantine? 1:19:11.560 --> 1:19:13.519 What do you bring bring us into a day in 1:19:13.520 --> 1:19:17.080 the life or producer Mark out in NJA making sure 1:19:17.080 --> 1:19:18.960 that he stays safe and sound. I've gotten into a 1:19:18.960 --> 1:19:21.519 bit of a routine and I hate it. Like I'm 1:19:21.520 --> 1:19:23.960 waking up later than I normally would because I don't 1:19:24.000 --> 1:19:26.599 have to commute anywhere. So what's the point of getting 1:19:26.640 --> 1:19:28.400 up at the crack of dawn like I normally do? 1:19:29.560 --> 1:19:32.040 Then I wait for you to finally be ready after 1:19:32.120 --> 1:19:34.320 I get all the cuts. Yeah, then I do the 1:19:34.320 --> 1:19:36.479 show that does take a lot of time. I do 1:19:36.520 --> 1:19:40.240 the show, watch some TV, maybe have some lunch, play 1:19:40.320 --> 1:19:44.320 some video games. My wife will get home, make some dinner, 1:19:44.960 --> 1:19:46.800 go to bed. What is what is missus Mark? What 1:19:46.840 --> 1:19:50.880 does missus Mark do? She manages an imaging center which 1:19:50.920 --> 1:19:54.519 is staying open. Right. I thought she's medical, she's in 1:19:54.560 --> 1:19:57.800 the medical provider community. She is what she what she's 1:19:57.800 --> 1:20:00.720 saying about what her colleagues and that she's you know, 1:20:00.800 --> 1:20:02.720 doctor's office and stuff. What I'm just wondering if she 1:20:02.760 --> 1:20:04.679 have any kind of atmospherics about what's going on because 1:20:04.680 --> 1:20:06.160 there we're right here in New York City. I mean, 1:20:06.240 --> 1:20:10.520 luckily she isn't dealing with patients that are necessarily infected, 1:20:10.560 --> 1:20:14.080 but they are screening everybody before they come in, you know, 1:20:14.120 --> 1:20:16.600 since radiology is fairly important. If somebody needs, you know, 1:20:16.720 --> 1:20:18.800 a cat scan or something, they have to stay open. 1:20:19.280 --> 1:20:21.120 But if they have a fever or anything like that, 1:20:21.200 --> 1:20:23.080 they have to go wait in their car. Then they'll 1:20:23.120 --> 1:20:26.280 get screened. It's a whole process that they're doing right now. 1:20:26.600 --> 1:20:28.120 And she has to wear a mask and gloves and 1:20:28.160 --> 1:20:31.759 all that stuff all day. So it's definitely interesting times 1:20:31.760 --> 1:20:34.439 for anyone in healthcare. And I mean I am thankful 1:20:34.479 --> 1:20:36.559 she's not clinical right now, not that I wouldn't want 1:20:36.560 --> 1:20:38.840 her to be if she wanted to be, But I mean, 1:20:38.880 --> 1:20:41.040 I just my heart goes out to all those people 1:20:41.120 --> 1:20:43.560 right now that are on the front lines, and my 1:20:43.760 --> 1:20:46.040 sister law included. I know a lot of nurses and doctors, 1:20:46.040 --> 1:20:48.839 you know, I've spoken to I've spoken to some MD's 1:20:49.479 --> 1:20:52.800 in the last week. Who your friends of mine? I 1:20:52.800 --> 1:20:54.040 have a lot of her. I actually a friend number 1:20:54.040 --> 1:20:55.960 friends who went to medical school and now they're doctors 1:20:55.960 --> 1:21:02.320 in practice, and they they're worried. They're worried because they're Remember, 1:21:02.320 --> 1:21:05.559 it's all about exposure to you know, the the amount 1:21:05.600 --> 1:21:07.519 of virus. I mean, this stuff is highly complicated and 1:21:07.520 --> 1:21:10.840 it actually isn't even really understood all that well, um 1:21:10.960 --> 1:21:14.960 by by science, um. But the amount of viral exposure, 1:21:15.000 --> 1:21:18.040 the duration of viral exposure, all these things can affect 1:21:18.439 --> 1:21:21.200 not just your whether or not you get infected, but 1:21:21.240 --> 1:21:23.920 perhaps even the severity of the infection. So, you know, 1:21:23.960 --> 1:21:25.839 people that are on the front lines as healthcare providers 1:21:25.880 --> 1:21:28.599 have to be super super careful, careful about all this stuff. 1:21:28.760 --> 1:21:31.120 But I said, we're gonna we're gonna enter the the 1:21:32.400 --> 1:21:34.160 how to stay how to stay safe in saying in 1:21:34.240 --> 1:21:37.240 quarantine zone of the show instead of, you know, focusing 1:21:37.280 --> 1:21:39.880 on what can feel pretty bleak sometimes on the other side, 1:21:40.520 --> 1:21:41.920 do you guys, well, what was the show? You guys 1:21:41.920 --> 1:21:43.599 told me you both like that. I'm going to check 1:21:43.600 --> 1:21:47.559 it out. It was a manifest manifest. Oh, what do 1:21:47.600 --> 1:21:49.240 you think I would like it? I think you would. 1:21:49.240 --> 1:21:52.360 And I also did you like Breaking Bad? I loved 1:21:52.400 --> 1:21:54.519 Breaking Bad? Okay. I thought it might be the best 1:21:54.520 --> 1:21:56.919 TV show of all time. Yes, So have you seen Ozark? 1:21:58.400 --> 1:22:00.599 I think I like those are a lot. I think 1:22:00.600 --> 1:22:02.679 it's kind of a poor man's Breaking Bad. That doesn't 1:22:02.680 --> 1:22:04.360 mean it's not. Well. It comes back Friday. That's why 1:22:04.400 --> 1:22:06.360 I'm mentioning it. Mentioning it. The new season comes out 1:22:06.760 --> 1:22:10.559 no way really, which is great timing. That is good. 1:22:10.600 --> 1:22:12.559 That is good timing. I'm gonna I'm gonna binge that 1:22:12.640 --> 1:22:15.559 this weekend for sure. Also, have you you haven't seen 1:22:15.560 --> 1:22:17.160 The Last Kingdom? The Last Kingdom just came out with 1:22:17.200 --> 1:22:20.720 I think season four or maybe five, which is a 1:22:20.800 --> 1:22:24.560 great a great show about the Viking era era of expansion. 1:22:24.680 --> 1:22:26.960 So I got that one going. Does producer Mark have 1:22:27.000 --> 1:22:30.240 a book he's reading right now, producer Mark should be 1:22:30.240 --> 1:22:34.599 reading a lot more, but he's not. I was reading 1:22:34.640 --> 1:22:38.679 the Mitch Rap series before. H oh, that's the that's 1:22:38.720 --> 1:22:41.120 the movie with Tom Cruise in it, right, Yeah, but 1:22:41.160 --> 1:22:45.320 I read the book. I heard the movie stunk, so yeah, okay, 1:22:45.320 --> 1:22:46.960 it was a pretty good It is pretty good. Yeah, 1:22:46.960 --> 1:22:48.599 I'm in the middle of it. Passed away recently, and 1:22:48.640 --> 1:22:50.320 I actually read a number of his books. I don't 1:22:50.320 --> 1:22:52.640 remember them at all, but I remember liking them. Was 1:22:52.720 --> 1:22:54.880 Clive Cussler, you know that guy is He writes these 1:22:54.880 --> 1:22:58.320 adventure kind of like adventure Tom Clancy novels. You know, 1:22:58.439 --> 1:23:01.320 it's somehow there's always like a navy seal who's traveling 1:23:01.320 --> 1:23:05.040 to the Sahara Desert or you know, undersea, you know, 1:23:05.080 --> 1:23:07.120 in the Marianna Trencher, you know whatever. Iver there's like 1:23:07.120 --> 1:23:10.639 all this these very contrived situations. But I remember reading 1:23:10.640 --> 1:23:13.000 cloudcause he just passed away, I think maybe a month ago, 1:23:13.880 --> 1:23:15.920 but I remember reading his books and thinking they're pretty great. 1:23:15.920 --> 1:23:17.040 And now I would be a really good time to 1:23:17.120 --> 1:23:20.240 dig into some Tom Clancy, some of Michael Crichton's best 1:23:20.240 --> 1:23:23.120 Did you ever read Jurassic Park? I didn't. That's something 1:23:23.160 --> 1:23:25.240 I would like to read though. That's a great book, 1:23:25.680 --> 1:23:28.040 like the Full you will and the book is better 1:23:28.080 --> 1:23:31.519 than the movie, which is usually true, right, but you'll 1:23:31.520 --> 1:23:33.519 appreciate the book even having seen the movie a bunch 1:23:33.520 --> 1:23:36.200 of times. The book is just way It's just an 1:23:36.200 --> 1:23:40.200 elevated level from what you have versus Yeah, but the 1:23:40.240 --> 1:23:43.920 movie was good, unlike Congo, which is another Michael Crichton 1:23:43.960 --> 1:23:45.519 book that I would recommend to people who are on 1:23:45.600 --> 1:23:49.320 quarantine lockdown right now. Congo is a great read. It's 1:23:49.360 --> 1:23:52.880 cool for you know what it is. The movie is 1:23:52.920 --> 1:23:54.800 one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. 1:23:54.880 --> 1:23:57.200 Have you ever seen the Congo movie? I have not. 1:23:58.040 --> 1:24:01.200 It's amazing. People show up there killer there are these 1:24:01.320 --> 1:24:06.200 killer gorillas that are white with red eyes, so they're 1:24:06.240 --> 1:24:09.960 like they're like, uh, you know, like polar bear gorillas 1:24:10.040 --> 1:24:14.680 with red eyes that attack people and eat them and 1:24:14.720 --> 1:24:16.679 then they try to kill and then the good guys 1:24:16.960 --> 1:24:20.040 figure out some laser based on a It's horrible. It's 1:24:20.080 --> 1:24:23.439 like the worst movie I've ever Just your description sounds terrible, yeah, 1:24:23.560 --> 1:24:25.920 And it's like the the effects are really cheesy. They 1:24:25.960 --> 1:24:30.240 have a person in a gorilla suit who's speaking using 1:24:30.360 --> 1:24:33.960 sign language. And like a little electronic. It's horrible. It's like, 1:24:34.160 --> 1:24:38.360 it's actually so bad that I think maybe it's worth watching, 1:24:38.880 --> 1:24:41.000 just so you could see how bad a movie with 1:24:41.040 --> 1:24:43.200 a pretty big budget can be. Why not just do 1:24:43.320 --> 1:24:45.600 cgi gorillas like they do in The King Cono. It 1:24:45.600 --> 1:24:47.679 would have been way better. No, this was like late. 1:24:48.000 --> 1:24:50.720 This was like ninety five or ninety six, all right, 1:24:51.160 --> 1:24:54.879 so they they went with like people in gorilla costumes 1:24:54.960 --> 1:24:58.240 or gorilla suits or whatever, and uh yeah, it did 1:24:58.280 --> 1:25:02.080 not not really work out well. No, Crichton books are amazing. 1:25:02.200 --> 1:25:07.800 Clancy books are amazing. Clive Cussler um read Harry. I 1:25:07.880 --> 1:25:11.720 never got into a Who's Who's the Client, the Rainmaker, 1:25:11.800 --> 1:25:15.639 all that like lawyer thriller stuff. John Grisham, I never 1:25:15.640 --> 1:25:17.920 read a John Grisham book. Maybe now is the time. 1:25:18.280 --> 1:25:20.400 I think my mother liked those back in the day. 1:25:20.520 --> 1:25:22.599 I don't remember them. Do you ever read a Stephen 1:25:22.640 --> 1:25:25.960 Kingwe No? I don't like horror that genre. Oh I 1:25:25.960 --> 1:25:27.360 mean I have that book. I didn't know if that 1:25:27.400 --> 1:25:29.280 would be something you would do, would give a try to. 1:25:29.479 --> 1:25:32.320 But yeah, I'm got I got plenty of books. But 1:25:32.400 --> 1:25:35.160 the problems I have to read so much about coronavirus 1:25:35.200 --> 1:25:37.840 these days that I feel like reading itself, I might 1:25:37.880 --> 1:25:39.760 have to get a PlayStation four sent to me. I think, 1:25:39.760 --> 1:25:42.799 if we're gonna be a lockdown, my I have one already. 1:25:43.479 --> 1:25:47.720 My call of duty skills will become legendary. Just give 1:25:47.720 --> 1:25:52.960 it time. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the 1:25:53.080 --> 1:25:59.639 Buck Sex and Show podcast team. As I've been saying 1:26:00.320 --> 1:26:03.559 now more than ever, the connection that we have is 1:26:03.720 --> 1:26:07.600 just so necessary and so appreciated by me, and I 1:26:07.640 --> 1:26:10.599 hope you feel the same way. People are in quarantine. 1:26:10.600 --> 1:26:12.960 They're getting tired of watching the news all day. And 1:26:13.040 --> 1:26:15.719 it's nice too. It's nice to give your eyes a rest. 1:26:15.800 --> 1:26:18.000 I find that that's really the case for me at least, 1:26:18.400 --> 1:26:20.920 and so listening to things it still allows you to 1:26:21.560 --> 1:26:24.400 cook dinner, clean up a little bit, do a little 1:26:24.439 --> 1:26:27.400 bit of admin work, or you know, I don't know, 1:26:27.920 --> 1:26:31.920 do a puzzle. Whatever you've got going on. Listening but 1:26:32.040 --> 1:26:33.960 not watching can give your eyes a little bit of 1:26:33.960 --> 1:26:36.080 a rest some time. So that's where that's my pitch 1:26:36.120 --> 1:26:38.600 for podcasting. And if you have a friend who is 1:26:38.640 --> 1:26:42.240 in quarantine right now, which I mean a third of 1:26:42.240 --> 1:26:46.519 the country is in quarantine, please do say hey, you 1:26:46.560 --> 1:26:48.880 know just send them. You can send them the Buck 1:26:48.880 --> 1:26:53.040 Sexton Show in an email, a text message. It's on 1:26:53.200 --> 1:26:55.439 the Apple Store. It's in the Apple stores, we know 1:26:55.800 --> 1:26:59.519 under podcasts, also on the iHeartRadio app Spotify. Any of 1:26:59.520 --> 1:27:01.800 you who have Modify, you can not just listen to 1:27:01.800 --> 1:27:03.240 the show yourself, but you can just say hey, and 1:27:03.280 --> 1:27:05.639 you share it with a friend of yours. So you 1:27:05.640 --> 1:27:08.280 you're the one spreading spreading the word about this show. 1:27:08.400 --> 1:27:10.600 And I greatly I mean it from the bottom of 1:27:10.600 --> 1:27:12.880 my heart. I really do appreciate it every day and 1:27:13.240 --> 1:27:16.960 it's it's an honor to have such an amazing audience 1:27:17.560 --> 1:27:21.120 as as I do. So all right with that, we'll 1:27:21.120 --> 1:27:23.280 get to a roll call Facebook dot com slash buck 1:27:23.320 --> 1:27:26.280 Sexton in case you didn't know, or our email address, 1:27:26.320 --> 1:27:29.160 and I would love and tell me, you know, bright 1:27:29.320 --> 1:27:34.200 roll call, you know, roll call first timer or roll 1:27:34.240 --> 1:27:37.960 call I don't know. We'll think of something something cool 1:27:38.040 --> 1:27:40.360 for people that are you know, I guess first timers. 1:27:40.360 --> 1:27:42.599 That's the word that comes to mind. But I'd love 1:27:42.600 --> 1:27:44.599 to hear from some people that they haven't written in 1:27:44.640 --> 1:27:46.439 before and they're just saying, you know, and you can. 1:27:46.800 --> 1:27:49.839 Producer Mark loves the two or three line role call messages. 1:27:49.880 --> 1:27:52.240 Don't think that that's those are not welcome. I mean 1:27:52.280 --> 1:27:55.800 the slightly longer ones are fine too, But we love 1:27:55.840 --> 1:27:58.960 you know, three four lines. Hey, what's up? Here's my 1:27:59.040 --> 1:28:02.080 question or here's my thought? You know shields High. That's great. 1:28:02.760 --> 1:28:04.200 It doesn't have to be a book that You're right. 1:28:04.240 --> 1:28:05.960 It could take you fifteen seconds to do this, but 1:28:06.000 --> 1:28:07.839 we'd love to hear from as many of you as possible, 1:28:08.200 --> 1:28:09.800 and we're gonna get to a lot of this. Also, 1:28:10.560 --> 1:28:14.439 I did another Facebook live yesterday, so if you want, 1:28:14.479 --> 1:28:17.640 that's on Facebook dot com slashbuck Sexton and you can 1:28:17.720 --> 1:28:20.479 join me on that whenever you like. I'll let you 1:28:20.479 --> 1:28:22.479 know when we're into the next one. Depends on what 1:28:22.520 --> 1:28:25.840 Tallulah is up for, because she can be very very 1:28:25.960 --> 1:28:29.120 snooty about doing Facebook live. She's like, this is not 1:28:29.160 --> 1:28:31.719 a good angle for me. Where's my hair and makeup people? 1:28:32.360 --> 1:28:35.439 I'm her hair and makeup people. It's gotta make sure 1:28:35.479 --> 1:28:40.639 she's clean, all right. Joe, Hey, Buck love your show. 1:28:40.800 --> 1:28:44.759 Have recently added it to my daily podcast regimen. Yesterday 1:28:44.800 --> 1:28:46.760 you were thanking people who still show up to work 1:28:46.760 --> 1:28:49.919 and keep our country moving. As a proud postal employee 1:28:49.960 --> 1:28:52.160 and a staunch conservative, A rare thing. I know. I 1:28:52.200 --> 1:28:54.880 would like to say, no thanks needed. I love my 1:28:55.000 --> 1:28:57.280 job of twenty six years and appreciate the living it 1:28:57.360 --> 1:28:59.760 has provided. All I would like to ask is when 1:28:59.760 --> 1:29:02.759 this is over it can people lay off the privatization talk. 1:29:03.200 --> 1:29:05.240 I think there are things that Post Office can do 1:29:05.360 --> 1:29:09.360 in these times of crisis, especially publicly held during nine 1:29:09.360 --> 1:29:11.640 to eleven and the anthrax crisis. People showed up to 1:29:11.680 --> 1:29:14.640 their job when we really didn't know how widespread of 1:29:14.680 --> 1:29:17.320 an attack it was. And today we have people at 1:29:17.320 --> 1:29:20.400 window counters facing people every day that are at high risk. 1:29:20.720 --> 1:29:23.000 It seems like when times are good and no crisis 1:29:23.000 --> 1:29:25.360 were an easy punching bag for some shields high. Thank 1:29:25.400 --> 1:29:28.760 you for all you do, Joe, A very well made 1:29:28.760 --> 1:29:31.360 and very appreciated point here. First of all, I know 1:29:31.400 --> 1:29:33.400 you're saying no thanks needed, but we are thanking you, 1:29:33.960 --> 1:29:37.559 and it would really add to everyone's anxiety and feelings 1:29:37.600 --> 1:29:41.920 of dread if they knew that they weren't able to 1:29:41.920 --> 1:29:44.879 get mail, or if mail was you know, dramatically delayed 1:29:44.960 --> 1:29:48.360 and you couldn't get bills, you couldn't get packages, and 1:29:48.400 --> 1:29:51.400 so people are so used. I do most of my 1:29:51.600 --> 1:29:56.840 personal shopping, i'd say I do. I'd dide my personal 1:29:56.880 --> 1:30:00.599 shopping virtually going into a store. I'm talking a pre 1:30:00.640 --> 1:30:03.800 pandemic going into a store or something I rarely do. 1:30:04.200 --> 1:30:07.400 The only exception is for food and drug stores if 1:30:07.400 --> 1:30:09.960 I need something quickly. But other than that, I do 1:30:10.040 --> 1:30:12.439 I shop one. I get my books, I get my clothing, 1:30:12.439 --> 1:30:15.919 I get you know, anything I need for the home online. 1:30:16.360 --> 1:30:18.400 I really don't mess around with a lot of in 1:30:18.400 --> 1:30:22.320 person stuff. So that means that we need a delivery system, 1:30:22.360 --> 1:30:23.960 and that's the post office is a big part of that. 1:30:24.040 --> 1:30:26.360 So thank you, sir for what you're doing. Thanks for 1:30:26.439 --> 1:30:30.160 listening to the Busts and Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe 1:30:30.160 --> 1:30:33.679 on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get 1:30:33.720 --> 1:30:39.479 your podcasts. Doug Hello, buck Liar. Small businesses expected to 1:30:39.479 --> 1:30:42.040 cover their rental costs when the government shuts them down. 1:30:42.520 --> 1:30:45.040 It should be the property owners that seek relief from 1:30:45.080 --> 1:30:49.120 government and not small businesses making rent. Rent should be waived. 1:30:49.600 --> 1:30:53.120 My town has six landlords that own most of the downtown. 1:30:53.640 --> 1:30:56.400 Why put the onus on the seventy five small businesses. 1:30:56.640 --> 1:30:59.760 The government has said that these properties are deemed on 1:31:00.160 --> 1:31:04.080 usable Doug, it's a I think it's an entirely fair point. 1:31:05.400 --> 1:31:07.360 I guess they're just taking the prospect of they're just 1:31:07.360 --> 1:31:09.120 going to get as much money to as many people 1:31:09.120 --> 1:31:13.280 as they can. But you know, but I see, I 1:31:13.280 --> 1:31:15.800 know that the property owners in some cases would say, look, 1:31:15.800 --> 1:31:19.839 we have very large you know, mortgage payments and service 1:31:19.880 --> 1:31:21.800 payments to meet, and if we just if no one 1:31:21.840 --> 1:31:23.960 gives us rent, we're going to promise too. But the 1:31:24.000 --> 1:31:26.040 response to that would be, well, then the governments should 1:31:26.040 --> 1:31:30.759 step in at that level instead of at the small 1:31:30.800 --> 1:31:34.479 business level. But Doug, there's no perfect answers. There's no 1:31:34.479 --> 1:31:36.320 perfect solution. And I'm not saying that as like a 1:31:36.880 --> 1:31:39.519 you know, tomato tomato, you know, who cares. I'm just saying, 1:31:40.560 --> 1:31:43.000 you're right, that would seem to work too, and that 1:31:43.080 --> 1:31:46.280 might seem to be a better way to do all 1:31:46.320 --> 1:31:50.160 of this. But I don't have an answer for us 1:31:50.200 --> 1:31:53.280 to why the government didn't take that approach. I'm sure 1:31:53.320 --> 1:31:56.080 they have their reasoning for this, but look, this is 1:31:56.080 --> 1:31:59.040 a desperate rescue package. This is not something that they've 1:31:59.080 --> 1:32:04.240 spent years figure out, and there are clearly clearly going 1:32:04.280 --> 1:32:06.880 to be shortcoming. There are shortcomings enter that that's baked 1:32:06.880 --> 1:32:11.840 into this thing. So I hear you. I hear you 1:32:11.920 --> 1:32:15.920 on small businesses and the concern that small businesses have 1:32:16.000 --> 1:32:18.559 about making rent, and how that's not really seeming to 1:32:18.560 --> 1:32:24.240 be that reflected in this in this package, not as 1:32:24.360 --> 1:32:27.080 as immediately as perhaps it should. And this is what 1:32:27.120 --> 1:32:29.320 I keep telling people also. Okay, so if you if 1:32:29.320 --> 1:32:30.760 your business is shut down and they give you some 1:32:30.800 --> 1:32:34.400 money to make payroll, if your business rent is I 1:32:34.479 --> 1:32:36.679 don't know, five thousand dollars a month, and when we're 1:32:36.680 --> 1:32:39.080 shut down for the next three months, you go back, 1:32:39.360 --> 1:32:41.880 You go back on. Okay, you've got employees, But where's 1:32:41.920 --> 1:32:44.920 that fifteen thousand dollars going to come from? Is there 1:32:44.920 --> 1:32:47.320 anybody really the Governm's going to write checks for all 1:32:47.320 --> 1:32:49.920 that too? I mean, you're going to start to get 1:32:49.920 --> 1:32:51.760 your point here. Where is the government the economy or 1:32:51.880 --> 1:32:56.639 is the government administrating an economy that is the American people. 1:32:57.400 --> 1:32:59.360 We know that it's supposed to be the second thing, 1:33:00.080 --> 1:33:02.439 but increasingly it's going to look like the first thing. 1:33:05.040 --> 1:33:08.080 Chris Buck and producer Mark I've been listening to your 1:33:08.120 --> 1:33:10.320 show every day on iHeart podcast for the last several 1:33:10.320 --> 1:33:12.400 months and share it with anyone who I think will listen. 1:33:12.800 --> 1:33:15.680 Thank you so much, Chris. We really appreciate that I 1:33:15.760 --> 1:33:18.080 just lost my job days ago because the small startup 1:33:18.080 --> 1:33:20.639 company I was working for is not positioned to make 1:33:20.680 --> 1:33:23.519 it through this kind of economy. I will be surprised 1:33:23.560 --> 1:33:26.280 if they still exist in two months. Say a prayer 1:33:26.320 --> 1:33:28.439 for me and my family, along with everyone else for 1:33:28.479 --> 1:33:30.639 that matter. I'm one of these folks that my twenty 1:33:30.680 --> 1:33:33.439 eighteen looked great, but I need something now, and I 1:33:33.479 --> 1:33:35.960 don't qualify as the aid is being distributed right now. 1:33:36.000 --> 1:33:40.120 Shield time, brother, Chris, hearts go out to you, man. Absolutely, 1:33:40.120 --> 1:33:43.160 this is the circumstance that I've been concerned about. People 1:33:43.160 --> 1:33:45.240 that work for startups or small companies that are just 1:33:45.280 --> 1:33:47.479 barely making payroll as it is. They're going to go 1:33:47.560 --> 1:33:49.840 under because of this. And just because you had a 1:33:49.840 --> 1:33:52.479 pretty good twenty eighteen doesn't mean that you've got money 1:33:52.479 --> 1:33:55.120 to cover bills now. Chris, we hear you, man. Just 1:33:55.200 --> 1:33:58.200 hang in, you and your family. You hang in, keep 1:33:58.240 --> 1:34:01.680 in touch with all of us. You know, if you 1:34:01.760 --> 1:34:04.160 can on social reach out, see if some members a 1:34:04.160 --> 1:34:06.519 Team Bucker in your area and they might have some 1:34:06.800 --> 1:34:09.599 ideas for jobs. You know, leverage this network. I mean 1:34:09.600 --> 1:34:13.000 people have got people have gotten jobs because of this show, 1:34:13.240 --> 1:34:16.599 people have gotten married because of this show. I mean, 1:34:16.680 --> 1:34:20.280 I know these things for a fact, so always think 1:34:20.320 --> 1:34:22.680 about that. I mean, this is a you know, this 1:34:22.760 --> 1:34:25.640 is a community of people who are engaged in an 1:34:25.640 --> 1:34:28.120 activity every day that brings them up to speed on 1:34:28.200 --> 1:34:31.960 information and hopefully has some substantial entertainment value. But also 1:34:32.040 --> 1:34:34.360 other people that listen to this that's that's a commonality. 1:34:34.960 --> 1:34:36.880 It's the same reason why when people listen to this. 1:34:37.000 --> 1:34:39.200 When people know me from the TV that I do, 1:34:39.240 --> 1:34:40.800 which I do less now than I used to. I'm 1:34:40.880 --> 1:34:43.040 mostly focused on radio, but I still do TV. Sometimes 1:34:43.160 --> 1:34:44.720 people know me from TV. Look, yeah, I know the 1:34:44.720 --> 1:34:46.880 guy from TV. If they're Team Buck. If they listen 1:34:46.920 --> 1:34:48.400 to the show every day, they see me, they know 1:34:48.479 --> 1:34:51.439 one want them to come up and talk to me. Well, now, assa, 1:34:51.520 --> 1:34:53.160 they can hug me. These days, we're not really hugging 1:34:53.200 --> 1:34:55.479 as much. But you guys would all be cleared for 1:34:55.520 --> 1:34:58.040 a hug if we weren't worried about a pandemic. But 1:34:58.080 --> 1:35:00.559 I can always tell the difference and someone it's excited 1:35:00.600 --> 1:35:03.759 and they know instinctively. Yeah, if I see Bucks somewhere 1:35:03.760 --> 1:35:04.920 and I want to go up and talk to him. 1:35:05.960 --> 1:35:08.200 He'll be not only are you're welcome, I'll be happy. 1:35:08.280 --> 1:35:10.880 I'll be like, oh great, what's going on? Talk to me? 1:35:10.920 --> 1:35:12.960 You know that that always is, That's always the way 1:35:13.000 --> 1:35:15.360 I feel, And everyone who listens to this radio show knows. 1:35:15.560 --> 1:35:19.120 I'm just bringing that up because you know, if you 1:35:19.760 --> 1:35:22.599 find people in your area who listen to this show 1:35:23.000 --> 1:35:25.160 and you say, hey, can you guys help me out? 1:35:25.200 --> 1:35:30.200 I just know there's a spirit of brotherhood, sisterhood, camaraderie, 1:35:30.640 --> 1:35:36.800 shared patriotism, shared decency that is so such a binding 1:35:37.320 --> 1:35:40.040 a binding agent for this audience that if you reach 1:35:40.080 --> 1:35:41.640 out to them and say, hey, this is a situation, 1:35:42.439 --> 1:35:44.519 somebody may really surprise you. Somebody may really be able 1:35:44.560 --> 1:35:46.760 to help. I know that, you know a lot of 1:35:47.280 --> 1:35:50.479 people listen to this show who are business owners, A 1:35:50.479 --> 1:35:52.719 lot of people who are very impressive in their fields 1:35:53.040 --> 1:35:55.639 or just have great rolodexes might be able to sist 1:35:55.680 --> 1:35:57.479 you with any number of things. So I'm just putting 1:35:57.479 --> 1:35:58.880 that out there as an option right now, because I 1:35:58.880 --> 1:36:01.240 know we're all Also, because all virtual, right, you can't 1:36:01.280 --> 1:36:03.320 really go out and pound the pavement. You got to 1:36:03.360 --> 1:36:07.000 pound the keyboard so see if Team Buck can help out, 1:36:07.280 --> 1:36:10.800 you know, maybe post and post online to some other 1:36:10.840 --> 1:36:13.240 people that you know who are involved with the freedom hunt. 1:36:14.240 --> 1:36:17.840 Duke Hi Buck from New Zealand. Here, there are still 1:36:17.840 --> 1:36:20.639 fewer than one hundred and fifty cases of the wuhan virus. 1:36:20.760 --> 1:36:23.760 As I'm writing this. We will be in lockdown as 1:36:23.760 --> 1:36:26.240 of midnight tonight. Most of the time, I do not 1:36:26.320 --> 1:36:28.880 agree with our current government. This time, I believe it 1:36:28.960 --> 1:36:31.840 is the correct path for our country. Lockdown here is 1:36:31.880 --> 1:36:35.040 everyone is in isolation and all businesses close except for 1:36:35.120 --> 1:36:38.040 essential ones. Keep up the good work well, Duke. I 1:36:38.040 --> 1:36:39.559 mean that just goes to show you New Zealand's on 1:36:39.560 --> 1:36:42.599 the other side of the world from America. Although Kiwis 1:36:42.640 --> 1:36:49.280 are awesome people, kiwis Aussie's. I think my get along 1:36:49.400 --> 1:36:52.759 ratio with Kiwi's and Aussie's is like plus ninety percent 1:36:52.800 --> 1:36:55.920 in generals. Am I gonna say it's probably higher than 1:36:55.960 --> 1:36:57.720 Americans because of all the Libs that I have to 1:36:57.720 --> 1:37:01.639 deal with. I'm just saying kiwi an off season's politics. 1:37:01.720 --> 1:37:04.320 Yeah whatever, you know, I don't really care so at 1:37:04.360 --> 1:37:06.920 least the ones that I've met. Anyway, back to what 1:37:06.960 --> 1:37:12.280 you're saying here, Duke. Yeah, I think the lockdown situation, 1:37:13.760 --> 1:37:15.439 I don't see a way around it. At least in 1:37:15.439 --> 1:37:17.080 the short term. You've got at least get your health 1:37:17.120 --> 1:37:19.960 capacity up in all these different countries to try to 1:37:20.000 --> 1:37:22.719 fight this. India is now increasingly on lockdown. India also 1:37:23.880 --> 1:37:28.160 has shut us off from our flow of chloroquin pharmaceuticals 1:37:28.240 --> 1:37:30.439 from them, folks. You know, for years and years a 1:37:30.520 --> 1:37:32.679 lot of pio. Trump was one of the biggest voices 1:37:32.720 --> 1:37:35.720 on this before he was president, warning about we need 1:37:35.800 --> 1:37:38.800 domestic manufacturing. This is a natural security issue. We need 1:37:38.920 --> 1:37:41.920 access to we need you know, domestic energy. We can't 1:37:41.960 --> 1:37:47.000 rely on foreign partners for critical country and life sustaining needs. 1:37:47.479 --> 1:37:49.719 And now we are now we are in this situation 1:37:49.840 --> 1:37:52.320 that people who were making that case we're trying to 1:37:52.439 --> 1:37:56.280 raise to our attention. Sure enough, we got problems right 1:37:56.439 --> 1:38:00.240 because we don't have manufacturing. Now. Look, Bayer, I think 1:38:00.320 --> 1:38:02.640 down in I forget whether I think it's in one 1:38:02.640 --> 1:38:05.559 of the Carolinas, but Bayer's ramping up production of chloroquin. 1:38:06.280 --> 1:38:11.200 There's some information today about you know, and I wanted 1:38:11.240 --> 1:38:12.720 to tell you about the good news, the good news, 1:38:12.800 --> 1:38:15.680 and I know that I forgot about that there's some 1:38:15.800 --> 1:38:18.519 indication from one study that chloroquin doesn't really do all 1:38:18.600 --> 1:38:20.600 that much, but it's not an official study, so who know, 1:38:20.800 --> 1:38:23.439 you know, we just don't know yet. So we're in 1:38:23.479 --> 1:38:25.840 a wait and see. We're in the official line right 1:38:25.880 --> 1:38:27.120 now for me to all of you is we are 1:38:27.160 --> 1:38:29.120 in wait and see on chloroquine, and we are hopeful 1:38:29.280 --> 1:38:31.760 that's where we are. But on the good news side 1:38:31.760 --> 1:38:34.240 of things, the mutation of this virus seems to be 1:38:34.280 --> 1:38:35.840 pretty slow from what they're seeing, which means that a 1:38:35.920 --> 1:38:39.880 vaccine would be likely long lasting and effectively permanent if 1:38:39.920 --> 1:38:45.280 we get one. And also the warm weather is coming 1:38:45.320 --> 1:38:47.519 and it looks likely that that will that will help 1:38:47.640 --> 1:38:50.840 dampen the spread of the virus itself. And the Dow 1:38:50.920 --> 1:38:53.680 surge over two thousand points yesterday, which is good, but 1:38:53.760 --> 1:38:55.760 any stock market and move. Stock market moves are really 1:38:55.800 --> 1:38:59.200 just a reflection of sentiment that day. I'm not sure 1:38:59.240 --> 1:39:01.400 that anybody could start to be too happy because the 1:39:01.439 --> 1:39:04.160 stock market could go down, you know, a thousand points, 1:39:04.280 --> 1:39:07.280 two thousand points tomorrow, as we all know. But those 1:39:07.320 --> 1:39:10.280 are all good, those are all good indicators, good things 1:39:10.360 --> 1:39:14.360 to look at at this point in time. Jeff Right, Hey, 1:39:14.439 --> 1:39:17.479 buck Trucker. Jeff here, listen to Monday's podcast. I want 1:39:17.479 --> 1:39:19.280 to tell you my wife's a nurse and she's off 1:39:19.439 --> 1:39:22.160 right now. She had to have a surgery. But she's 1:39:22.200 --> 1:39:24.280 heard some of the other nurses complaining there that they 1:39:24.320 --> 1:39:26.439 want to stop going to work because there's not enough protective, 1:39:26.760 --> 1:39:31.760 protective equipment for them. They're scared and mad. Yeah, Jeff, 1:39:31.800 --> 1:39:34.360 that's I'm hearing some of that too, where even medical 1:39:34.520 --> 1:39:37.519 medical providers are saying like, Okay, we're willing, we're willing 1:39:37.600 --> 1:39:40.680 to take some degree of risk, but we're not going 1:39:40.760 --> 1:39:44.120 to show up and treat COVID nineteen patients with no gloves, 1:39:44.200 --> 1:39:47.560 no masks, and no ventil ventilators to put them on. 1:39:47.640 --> 1:39:49.600 Even if we can figure it out, right, they you 1:39:49.760 --> 1:39:51.760 need to give them the tools. The same thing. Look, 1:39:51.800 --> 1:39:54.280 if you have somebody in the military, they sign up 1:39:54.560 --> 1:39:57.080 and you say all right, you know, go go defeat 1:39:57.080 --> 1:39:59.080 the Nazis, and they say, all right, where's my rifle, 1:39:59.080 --> 1:40:00.680 and say, hey, you know the best you can. We're 1:40:00.680 --> 1:40:02.400 not giving out rifles this time. We don't have any. 1:40:03.320 --> 1:40:05.679 That's not how we do things here. If we're looking 1:40:05.720 --> 1:40:07.639 at this as a war analogy with a fight against 1:40:07.680 --> 1:40:11.360 this virus. We got to give our frontline personnel the tools, 1:40:11.439 --> 1:40:13.720 the weapons, if you will, against this virus that they need. 1:40:14.320 --> 1:40:18.000 And that's where I mean. We're seeing American manufacturing right 1:40:18.080 --> 1:40:21.880 now ramp up. We've seen some of the great names 1:40:22.040 --> 1:40:27.200 of American industry and commerce, you know, general motors. For 1:40:27.240 --> 1:40:29.320 those of you that are big Tesla fans, Tesla sends 1:40:29.400 --> 1:40:31.640 that they're stepping up here. So there's a lot of 1:40:31.680 --> 1:40:34.080 people that are doing stuff right now to be as 1:40:34.439 --> 1:40:38.320 helpful as I can. Ah, Mike, Mike Lindell, my pillow founder. 1:40:38.600 --> 1:40:40.920 I know Mike a little bit. They're making masks now, 1:40:41.240 --> 1:40:43.200 my pillows making masks, send them across the country. So 1:40:43.280 --> 1:40:47.519 people are really stepping up. Paul writes Buck the article 1:40:47.560 --> 1:40:51.880 by Professor John Ianitis was eye opening. We could probably 1:40:51.920 --> 1:40:53.600 go on with business as usual with a warning to 1:40:53.640 --> 1:40:57.160 the more susceptible folks about the risk. Voluntarily testing some 1:40:57.280 --> 1:40:59.799 people using a random sample method might be a good idea. 1:41:00.400 --> 1:41:01.680 We may be in a lot of trouble if we 1:41:01.680 --> 1:41:04.200 don't get back to normal soon. On another note, how 1:41:04.320 --> 1:41:06.320 can we figure out if a governor has the authority 1:41:06.360 --> 1:41:07.680 to tell us to stay home? Thank you for your 1:41:07.720 --> 1:41:10.960 hard work, Paul. This is all very complicated, right, it's 1:41:10.960 --> 1:41:14.120 all very tough. What do we really think the number 1:41:14.439 --> 1:41:17.840 is for not just spread of the disease, but for mortality. 1:41:17.920 --> 1:41:22.200 No buddy really knows. Nobody really knows. We have a 1:41:22.280 --> 1:41:24.320 lot of competing estimates. There's a piece in the Wall 1:41:24.320 --> 1:41:29.160 Street Journal from a couple of other Stanford medical researchers 1:41:29.439 --> 1:41:34.599 and people that know epidemiology very well, and they're saying 1:41:34.680 --> 1:41:38.360 that based on the data that we have, it is 1:41:38.439 --> 1:41:40.880 likely this according to wallstret Journal editorial, so you know, 1:41:41.000 --> 1:41:43.320 this is on the opinion pages, but they're saying that 1:41:43.439 --> 1:41:46.320 it is probably if you look at all the infections 1:41:46.360 --> 1:41:47.920 and then the number of people that have died from this, 1:41:48.160 --> 1:41:53.000 it's probably orders of magnitude less lethal than what we 1:41:53.080 --> 1:41:55.600 were It already is orders less lethal than what we 1:41:55.680 --> 1:41:57.080 were told in the very beginning, which was three to 1:41:57.200 --> 1:41:59.800 five percent. That was scaring the crap out of people. Rightly, 1:42:01.360 --> 1:42:05.479 this is more looking like it's going to be one percent, 1:42:06.680 --> 1:42:09.920 point five percent something. Now, I remember point five would 1:42:09.960 --> 1:42:14.519 be five x the flu, so that's still high. But 1:42:15.920 --> 1:42:18.320 one percent is a lot better than five percent, and 1:42:18.640 --> 1:42:23.720 point five percents good bit better than one percent got 1:42:23.920 --> 1:42:27.240 gotta focus on the math. I don't know. I mean, 1:42:27.320 --> 1:42:29.960 that's my sense is that we should be prepared in 1:42:30.000 --> 1:42:31.760 a few weeks. And this is what. This is what 1:42:31.880 --> 1:42:34.240 a lot of libs on the social media are getting 1:42:34.240 --> 1:42:36.040 angry at me for even suggesting in a few weeks 1:42:36.080 --> 1:42:38.920 we should probably try to lessen some of the business 1:42:39.000 --> 1:42:46.280 and commerce restrictions, but absolutely keep vulnerable populations sequestered home, 1:42:46.960 --> 1:42:49.799 you know, as safe as possible. Get them whatever assistance 1:42:49.840 --> 1:42:52.280 they need, pay whatever bills need to be paid for them. 1:42:52.320 --> 1:42:54.080 The government's gonna have to break out the checkbook for that. 1:42:54.160 --> 1:42:58.000 But I just want the problem with waiting, and I'll 1:42:58.000 --> 1:42:59.519 say this, and I should have said it before. The 1:42:59.600 --> 1:43:03.719 problem waiting until it's clear to everybody that this is fine, 1:43:03.840 --> 1:43:07.479 this is economically unsustainable is when it's clear to everybody 1:43:08.080 --> 1:43:10.559 we're already in a depression and it's too late. That's 1:43:10.600 --> 1:43:15.960 what they don't get. You're in the hut. This is 1:43:16.040 --> 1:43:22.680 the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right, more roll call 1:43:22.800 --> 1:43:26.000 here with Katie kicking us off. Hey, Buck, I totally 1:43:26.040 --> 1:43:27.760 agree with you. When they said flattened the curve, I 1:43:27.840 --> 1:43:30.519 knew it would also widen the curve. This might keep 1:43:30.560 --> 1:43:32.720 facilities from being too crowded, but it never guarantees that 1:43:32.720 --> 1:43:35.160 people will not get the virus eventually. I don't understand 1:43:35.160 --> 1:43:36.960 the long term goal or plan. Yeah, this is the 1:43:37.000 --> 1:43:41.040 concern that a lot of us have if they mean, yeah, okay, 1:43:41.040 --> 1:43:43.040 I understand if you overwhelm the health facilities, you'll have 1:43:43.120 --> 1:43:46.080 people dying in larger numbers because they can't get any care. Fine, 1:43:46.360 --> 1:43:48.880 So that's why I've said fifteen days. I get it. 1:43:49.600 --> 1:43:53.320 But we also need to understand that there is no 1:43:54.160 --> 1:43:57.320 total safety from this virus if we're interacting in society 1:43:57.400 --> 1:44:01.360 at all, and it's not possible to have no interaction 1:44:01.400 --> 1:44:05.920 in society and maintain are our economic people I say 1:44:05.960 --> 1:44:09.160 economic system, And there's this tendency to think stock Moore 1:44:09.240 --> 1:44:10.760 good four oh one K. This is what the Libs 1:44:10.800 --> 1:44:13.120 keep being. You know, people that are rich one to stay. 1:44:13.360 --> 1:44:15.280 They're really rich. People have already gone to their private 1:44:15.360 --> 1:44:17.640 islands and they've already gone to their you know, you know, 1:44:17.680 --> 1:44:20.360 their hideaways, and they've stacked up enough food and they 1:44:20.360 --> 1:44:22.760 don't care at all. So this is the people that 1:44:22.880 --> 1:44:25.920 get hurt by a shutdown economy are not rich people. 1:44:26.560 --> 1:44:28.519 This is a lie. This is what everyone needs to 1:44:28.560 --> 1:44:32.000 remember it's the people that are worth fifty one hundred million, 1:44:32.080 --> 1:44:34.200 a billion, ten billion, whatever it may be, people who 1:44:34.240 --> 1:44:36.839 are actually rich, not people who make one hundred thousand 1:44:36.880 --> 1:44:40.360 dollars a year. They're not rich. The people who are 1:44:40.400 --> 1:44:44.560 actually rich are going to be fine economically, assuming the 1:44:44.640 --> 1:44:47.240 dollar doesn't collapse and there's not a complete reset of 1:44:47.240 --> 1:44:50.320 the economy that way. The people that are hurt are 1:44:50.479 --> 1:44:55.000 working people, those who are working paycheck to paycheck, and 1:44:55.320 --> 1:44:58.040 you need the money. In an imediate sense. Shutting down 1:44:58.080 --> 1:45:02.560 the economy is crushing them. It's not crushing you know, 1:45:02.680 --> 1:45:05.120 lib journals who worked for the Washington Post or the 1:45:05.160 --> 1:45:07.200 New York Times, or they're working from home. They're just 1:45:07.320 --> 1:45:09.920 you know, typing away in their computers, drinking soy. Latte's 1:45:10.360 --> 1:45:12.559 talking about how evil anybody is that wants to avoid 1:45:12.560 --> 1:45:16.880 a depression, right, I mean that's they're fine with it. Yeah. 1:45:16.880 --> 1:45:18.439 I wonder what their attitude will be like when they 1:45:18.479 --> 1:45:21.160 go to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods and all of 1:45:21.200 --> 1:45:23.320 a sudden, not only there are no you know, Green 1:45:23.360 --> 1:45:27.599 Team matchup powder on the shelves, there's no milk, there's 1:45:27.640 --> 1:45:30.599 no bread, there's no food. Really, now you could say, Buck, 1:45:30.640 --> 1:45:34.400 that won't happen. Oh yeah, what goes on if if 1:45:34.439 --> 1:45:37.519 all of a sudden we have this continuation here and 1:45:37.720 --> 1:45:41.560 you have a true financial crisis, a credit crisis. What 1:45:41.720 --> 1:45:44.920 happens if inflation kicks in? Does anyone think that the 1:45:44.960 --> 1:45:49.960 countries that have gone through economic nightmares were like, yeah, 1:45:50.040 --> 1:45:52.439 let's go, let's do that. That sounds like a good idea. No, 1:45:52.560 --> 1:45:55.679 it happened to them because of decisions that were made 1:45:55.760 --> 1:45:59.240 and once they realized that it was too late. But 1:45:59.360 --> 1:46:01.040 I don't know what's right now. Now we'll just we'll 1:46:01.040 --> 1:46:03.280 just all say lockdown. We'll all stay lockdown for a year. 1:46:03.520 --> 1:46:05.680 What could happen? We don't need to worry about anything, like, 1:46:05.760 --> 1:46:07.280 we'll just stay lockdown for a year. This is this 1:46:07.400 --> 1:46:09.320 is kind of the left wing mentality that I'm seeing now, 1:46:09.479 --> 1:46:13.920 is if that won't have catastrophic consequences to life and 1:46:14.120 --> 1:46:17.519 to health. It's not about it's not about people's stock accounts. 1:46:17.560 --> 1:46:19.839 Not even I don't even care about people's stock accounts. 1:46:22.479 --> 1:46:26.320 All right, Joanne. I think we should treat the Wuhan 1:46:26.479 --> 1:46:28.479 virus and the economy the same way we were trained 1:46:28.479 --> 1:46:31.080 to do damage control in the Navy. The number one 1:46:31.160 --> 1:46:33.840 thing during a fire or flooding is to save the ship. 1:46:34.400 --> 1:46:36.320 Of course, you try to get every sailor out of 1:46:36.360 --> 1:46:38.559 the spaces, but when it's time to dog down the hatches, 1:46:38.640 --> 1:46:41.400 it's over. Never had to experience that, only saw it 1:46:41.479 --> 1:46:43.280 in the movies. The economy is the ship, and we 1:46:43.360 --> 1:46:45.560 need to save it. No, I mean, Joanne, this is 1:46:45.600 --> 1:46:48.719 a point of view that the people are expressing, taking 1:46:48.760 --> 1:46:51.120 into account that we are already losing people this virus. 1:46:51.200 --> 1:46:53.439 We will continue to lose people from this virus. We 1:46:53.560 --> 1:46:57.160 are mitigating risks from this virus. There's no zero there's 1:46:57.200 --> 1:46:59.200 no people are not going to die if only we 1:46:59.240 --> 1:47:02.240 give up the account. To me, it's people are dying. 1:47:02.840 --> 1:47:05.080 And how much risk are we willing to accept of 1:47:05.160 --> 1:47:08.760 additional death if we do more economic activity. I don't know. 1:47:08.880 --> 1:47:10.360 No one thinks of it this way, but that is 1:47:10.479 --> 1:47:12.800 what happens in the world all the time. That's what 1:47:12.920 --> 1:47:15.840 happens with driving, It's what happens with what pharmaceuticals you 1:47:15.880 --> 1:47:18.920 can take. It is all about balancing out risk. We 1:47:19.120 --> 1:47:21.240 know one. The government does not promise anyone a zero 1:47:21.439 --> 1:47:24.880 risk existence, does not promise anyone zero risk. Do their 1:47:25.000 --> 1:47:29.120 health it can't, and so government policy can't be made 1:47:29.120 --> 1:47:33.040 on if it saves just one life, I mean, okay, 1:47:33.280 --> 1:47:38.160 it would save it would save just one life. If 1:47:38.760 --> 1:47:44.200 we banned all driving, it would save thousands of lives, 1:47:44.240 --> 1:47:47.479 actually tens of thousands of lives. Does anyone want to 1:47:47.520 --> 1:47:49.000 make that? Kay? The President said this. There's a reason 1:47:49.040 --> 1:47:51.840 he said it, and people go, oh no, it's illustrating 1:47:51.880 --> 1:47:56.680 the point. All right, team, that's it for today. Thank 1:47:56.720 --> 1:47:58.639 you so much for I kind of went at length 1:47:58.640 --> 1:48:01.040 there my bed. Thank you so much. Please download the podcast. 1:48:01.120 --> 1:48:03.400 Tell your friends we'll be back here tomorrow. We're all 1:48:03.479 --> 1:48:05.760 gonna be okay, watch a movie, listening to a good song. 1:48:06.400 --> 1:48:08.080 We here in the freedom Hood. Love you.
