WEBVTT - The Buck Never Stops 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:15.280 You are entering the freedom hunt. It's a national emergency, 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:19.320 it's a pandemic. The country is increasingly on lockdown. I 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.279 will walk you through everything that is going on right now, 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.680 what we are facing, what we should expect. Also, in 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.080 case anybody cares, there was a democratic debate last night. 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:29.760 A little bit of that and some other things too 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:34.080 coming up. This is the Buck Sexon Show, where the 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.400 mission or mission is to decode what really matters with 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:44.400 actionable intelligence, magnor mistake American, You're a great American Again, 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:52.240 the Buck Sexon Show begins. He's a great guy. Now 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.600 to unleash the full power of the federal government to 0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:00.520 this effort. Today, I am officially declaring a national urgency. 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.440 Two very big words. The action I am taking will 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.520 open up access to up to fifty billion dollars of 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:13.279 very importantly, very important and a large amount of money 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.440 for states and territories or localities in our shared fight 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:21.360 against this disease. In furtherance of the order emerging every 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:26.400 state to set up Emergency Operations Center's effective immedia. Welcome 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:31.080 the Buck Saxon Show. Everybody. We are feeling like we're 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.280 in a whole new world right now. That's understandable. I'm 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.240 here in New York City. In fact, I'm in a 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.720 mobile freedom hut in a sense. We've had to set 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.120 up at different locations to make sure we can do 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:48.800 this social distancing and walking around a little bit just 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.640 to do essential errands, because I'm and hearing as much 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.680 as I can to the requests of city authorities and 0:01:55.760 --> 0:02:01.200 health experts not to spend time out there in what 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.560 it's increasingly feeling like the red zone. We are in 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:09.480 for a tough eight weeks at least. I'm hoping that 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.440 within the next two to three weeks people will realize 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.799 that this is manageable. But we are in for a 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.919 tough period here. There's no question about that. You have 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:24.119 cities across the country now Los Angeles, New York about 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:28.560 to or already having decided that restaurants need to shut down, 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:34.119 public places need to close their doors. Market got absolutely 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.320 crushed as soon as it opened this morning. We're in 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.880 a tough spot. We're going to get through it as 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.520 a country, and I want to try to mix realism 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:47.160 with a necessary and very valid optimism as we spend 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.560 time here together. But for many of you, I'm just 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.320 going to say this right now. You team are my 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:57.560 connection to the outside world. I am trying to stay 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:04.559 locked down here for the foreseeable. So this show behind 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:09.559 behind the walls of a building that is increasingly surrounded 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.360 by people who are trying to avoid even being on 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.200 the street. This show will be my outreach to the 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.360 rest of the world. We're all supposed to keep away 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.760 from each other New York City. Just so you get 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.160 some sense of for those of you live out in 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:24.880 the country, you don't see that many people. You're in 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.840 a rural area. There's a very different feeling, and I 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:32.600 think that's understandable. New York City is already about to 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.560 become ground zero for this same city that was the 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.600 ground zero for the nine to eleven attacks is in 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:43.880 the midst of becoming the single epicenter of this disease, 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.320 which is changing our daily lives. And who knows what 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.400 the final economic impact of it all will be. Who 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.400 knows where all of this is really going at this point. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.400 All I can tell you is we've got to come 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.000 together as a country and do everything that we can 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.120 to help each other, try to mitigate the risks to 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.960 our economy, to businesses, try to do whatever we can 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:10.720 to assist. And this is Trump's war. Now you know 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.200 you are seeing wartime Trump. There's no way around it. 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.839 This is what his entire administration will be judged on. 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:24.400 And I have all these updates for you on what's happening. 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:29.240 It was definitely unsettling over the weekend as more information 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:34.160 came in about the shutdowns. And that's something that you 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:38.520 can't you can't ignore easily because everyone understands that these 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.600 restaurants that are getting closed, movie theaters are being closed, 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.159 bars are shut down. Now, there were some people that 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.200 were a bit defiant about this over the weekend. There 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:55.600 were those who, for example, down in New Orleans, wonderful 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.840 town that I'm quite fond of and hope to get 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.800 back to you very soon. Some people New Orleans, we're 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.880 out there on the streets enjoying themselves. And look, I 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.560 understand for people, there's a there's a risk calculation that 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.680 has to be done here. There's a what's acceptable for 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:15.800 each individual, but then there's also what's acceptable as as 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:21.080 community risk, because this is about health beyond just every individual. 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.360 This is about the risk to anyone that you come across, 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.160 even if you don't have symptoms. Here is the New 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:33.320 Orleans police making the rounds on Bourbon Street down to 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.440 New Orleans and talking about or telling people that they 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.039 got they gotta go home. You can't be out here 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:39.560 in the streets. You can't be drinking. Here's what they 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:58.920 had to say, Play twenty one. Your actions are jeopardizing 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.159 public health or loud speakers, you cannot be out in 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.520 the streets. For a lot of people, this is already 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:09.279 feeling very orwelly. And I understand this the same way 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.599 that the state after nine to eleven, which certainly changed 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:17.080 my life. Nine eleven's why joined the CIA. The state 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:21.520 increased its power, increased its spending, increased its authority in 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:25.640 ways that were in some cases necessary, but in many 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:33.080 cases completely I think in the long run unjustified, bad ideas. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.800 You don't want state power graphs, and when public health 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.120 is in jeopardy like this. This is just alongside with 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.640 a war scenario where the government in the past has 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.600 rounded people up and put them into termin camps. This government, 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:49.520 the United States government, has suspended habeas corpus. This government 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.320 has done things that were flatly unconstitutional because of a crisis. 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.760 We're going to see more of that. Where is the 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:03.000 constitutional authority for a mayor, for a governor to shut 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:08.760 down businesses, to shut down non government private entities that 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:12.600 are not breaking any laws. Well, they're going to say 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.640 it's under police powers, under public health authorities. In fact, 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.800 you can go back to the very earliest days of 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.280 the Republic, and quarantine is something that has always been 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.600 with us. We've seemed to think in recent decades that 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.760 we've beat this, that we're so advanced medically that we 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.600 never have to worry about these things anymore. But go 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:39.920 back and read about John Adams and the fear that 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:46.080 was just tearing through the colonies and then the United 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:50.200 States from what was it, I think seventeen seventy six 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.920 until about seventeen eighty two eighty three, there was a 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:59.080 smallpox epidemic that ripped through the States and that Adams 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.680 himself and his family had to bear the brunt of it, 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.040 along with of course many other founders at the time 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.160 of Just if you've seen the John Adams series on HBO, 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.360 you remember that there was a whole sequence where they 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.600 were dealing with the smallpox outbreak and trying to fare 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.440 out to do about that smallpox. I would notice the 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:20.760 single I believe has been the single greatest killer of 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.480 human beings in the New World since the founding of 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:27.200 the New World. It was the thing that wiped out 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.000 the most Native Americans. You've got about a thirty percent 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:34.480 mortality rate before modern medicine from smallpox, So he had 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.160 a one in three shot. But it's spread like wildfire 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:42.360 and people were contagious for weeks with smallpox. So we've 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.560 been here before in a sense, but it's been a 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:50.400 while and we've lost We've lost that mentality that this 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:51.760 is something we're gonna have to deal with. So this 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.040 is going to be new, It's going to be unsettling. Now. 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.040 I understand there's still a big debate out there, and 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.480 we're gonna get into the media side of this. The 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.240 media is such a disgrace when it comes. It's not 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.240 all of them. Some people are taking this seriously. Some 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.959 people who are journalists recognize that their family members, their 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.439 loved ones, are also in the line of fire here. 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.200 They understand that this isn't all hands on deck situation, 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.120 and that there's plenty of time. We have an election 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.760 coming up. Anyone who feels the need to blame Trump 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:25.400 unnecessarily right now is a disgrace, dishonorable, and just completely childish. 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:31.079 We have an election in what six months now, and 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.520 that election will be the opportunity that all the American 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.440 people have to pass judgment on how this administration handled 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:40.679 this pandemic. We don't have to hear every day from 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.600 psycho libs about how Trump is worse than Hitler, and 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.520 if Joe Biden was in charge or Bernie Sanders was 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.920 in charge, nobody would be dying right now. That's idiocy. 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.880 There are people that are still sticking to that though, 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.320 that we'd be in such better shape, we'd be so 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:59.240 much better off if only somebody other than Donald Trump 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.280 was the command or in chief. I think that we 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.720 may have been saved from a wave of death in 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:08.720 this country that will never really fully appreciate how much 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.600 we are able to avoid just because of the flight 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:15.679 the flight ban out of China, the travel ban. They 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.239 won't give the president any credit for this, or we're 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.840 gonna look this is thus story. There are other things 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.000 I was on. When I say self quarantine by the way, 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.400 referring to myself, just understand I have not been and 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.160 you know, God forbid and say a prayer for me. 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.120 I'm saying prayers for all of you. I've not been 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.400 in contact with anybody confirmed a coronavirus, so I'm not 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.960 in self quarantine because I feel i have to be. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.319 But we are being told in New York City that 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.559 you got to stay indoors right now if you can 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.959 go out for groceries. I'm gonna talk about that, by 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.679 the way, because you know we're not allowed to do 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:51.320 a lot of things. But you go into a grocery 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.520 store around here and you're shoulder to shoulder with hundreds 0:10:54.520 --> 0:11:00.800 of people coughing, sneezing close quarters. It's not good. So 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.280 I'm trying to say, but I'm not self quarantining because 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:08.200 I have to. I'm semi quarantined, if you will. Like 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.000 millions of other New Yorkers are now working from home 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.760 doing everything that I can to help limit the spread 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:19.360 of this as we all are. So this is going 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.079 to be something that we're on for a while now. 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.120 For my friends, this is like the quarantine freedom hunt, 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.120 if you will. I mean, we are going to continue 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.400 to talk to each other. The show will continue as 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.760 I promise you it would, as normal. But this is 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.720 a story that will continue on for at least weeks, 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.600 probably months, similar to if we were fighting a major 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:42.120 war against a foreign country. That's how much focus it 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:43.960 will get. That's how much attention will be on this. 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.400 Those of you who think that this is all still overblown, 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.160 because I'm hearing from some of you. In fact, I 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.120 was getting some criticism from the team over the weekend, 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:55.880 and of course I'm reading through all. All I have 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.960 time to do now is research. Do these shows provide 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.000 you with the best information? And also, look, it's diversion 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:04.839 for me, it's diversion for all of us. Right, we'll talk. 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:06.800 I'll talk to you about what movies and TV shows 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.320 and things and watching. Here. I cooked a roast terragon 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.280 chicken that took hours. I mean it took like two 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.120 and a half hours of cooking to get this thing done. 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.440 It was amazing. But when you're stuck at home and 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.000 you can't go out to restaurants, you can't go to 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.280 a gym, you can't go to church, you can't go 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.920 to a movie, now is when you start thinking. So 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:25.800 we'll talk about things you can do at home as well. 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.920 I mean, I want this to be the place that 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.680 all of you can turn to every day. Now while 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.000 we're facing this, and not only just get information and 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.440 updates on everything, but also hopefully I can share some 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.800 worthwhile thoughts about how we get through this together, and 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.440 not just on the medical side, but what we're hoping 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.080 to get on the other side of this. I still, 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.240 I'm telling you, and I'm gonna remind you of this 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:50.920 that there will come a day when I sit down 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.680 with producer Mark and we're drinking margaritas on the sidewalk 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.520 in Tribeca and I'm saying, man, that was tough, but 0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.439 we made it through. God bless America. It will be 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.600 May or June, it might not be to September or October, 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:04.800 but we will get there. I can assure you of that, 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.160 and I will keep that in mind as we as 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.719 we do this show. But here's where we are. I mean, 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.679 I have to now get you, get you to some 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:16.760 of the what this country is facing. And you know, 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.760 I think we all have a pretty serious trust in 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:25.240 doctor Anthony Fauci, who's a head of CDC, And here's 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.280 what he is saying as of the weekend prous of 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:32.480 Mark Play five. Then you say, as we heard that 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.280 the virus may continue to get worse for another two months, 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.160 there's been estimates of hundreds of thousands of people in 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:42.240 the US who can die or in the worst case scenario, millions. 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.520 Can you tell the American people that that is possible? 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.240 You know it's possible because when you do a model, 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.560 you have a worst case scenario, the best case scenario, 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.240 and the reality is how you react to that will 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.520 depend where you're going to be on that curve. So 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:02.320 obviously we are lague going to have more infections, there's 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:06.160 going to be more problems with regard to morbidity and mortality. 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.280 The challenge we have right now is how do we 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.360 blunt that. You know, I've said many times, if you 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.400 just leave it alone and let the virus to its 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.880 own devices, it'll go way up and then it'll come 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.840 down naturally over a period of several weeks. So that's 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.520 where we are. We're trying to prevent that from happening. 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.920 Those of you that think that this is overblown, I 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.680 hope you're right if we don't see anything in the 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.760 weeks ahead that justifies this degree. Because I was getting 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.080 your complaints and I understand people. Some people think that 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:41.160 this is still completely exaggerated. The risk is novel we're 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.160 being led to believe. If that is the case, we 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:49.360 also will have time for the great reckoning with the 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:54.760 media and with efforts to undo this administration bring it down. 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.160 Because of the pathetic Democrat field they have. They know 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.840 that they were in bad shape before this, and they 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.400 also are very many of them, at least in the 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:05.640 media and the Democrat apparatus the left. They are rooting 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:10.200 against the country. That's true, some more openly than others. 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:14.200 Some were celebrating today when you had a dow at 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.160 below twenty one thousand. I guess they think that everybody 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:17.800 was a four oh one k is a bad person 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.040 and a fat cat that deserves to feel pain. I mean, 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.000 this is this is appalling stuff that we are seeing. 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:25.520 I hope that those of you who think this is 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:30.120 overblown are correct. I'm no longer in the prediction business here. 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.160 I just don't know. I've been as optimistic about this 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.080 as I can be in good conscience all along. I 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.520 continue to be optimistic, but I'm also now telling you 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:42.440 that I limit my exposure outdoors for the next few days, 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:46.920 maybe the next few weeks, to getting food and tending 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.040 to family members of mine who can't go out because 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.120 of their age. That's it. That's what I do. So 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.520 I hope you're right. I'm not sure where this is 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.080 going to shake out. We have to take this as 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:01.120 seriously as the health authorities are saying for now, and 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.640 we'll see. But all you have to do is look 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:08.120 at what's going on in Italy and what's happening right 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.640 now in Spain and in France and in the UK, 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:18.360 and it's deeply concerning. You're in the Freedom, Hud. This 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:24.920 is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. It might make 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:29.880 a point that people sometimes think that you're overreacting. I 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.800 like it when people are thinking I'm overreacting because that 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:38.400 means we're doing it just right. He's telling you to overreact. 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.960 This guy, let's understand this. I mean, he is basically 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.120 lived for this moment, meaning him and he was put 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.440 on earth. You've got to think, if you've spent decades 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:53.560 as an infectious disease specialist studying pandemics, working on pandemics, 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:57.680 as doctor Fauci has, this is your this is your fight. 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.320 This is why he has done all the things that 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.399 he's done. Now I can appreciate that he is willing 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.040 to say that this might feel like an overreaction to 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:11.080 some people, and that that's where he wants this to be. 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.200 This is what I've been saying along Trump is telling us. 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.600 And then we'll get into the media narratives around this. 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.720 Trump has been telling us, Look, guys, we gotta we're serious, 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.080 but it's gonna be okay. And the media says, oh, 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.199 he's down playing it and everything else, and they just 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.640 look what the health authorities say. Yeah, the health authorities 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:29.199 are going to tell you that you should behave in 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.680 order to avoid a worst case scenario, because a worst 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.359 case scenario is possible, they can't tell you. You You know, 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:37.800 it's the same reason why at some level you got 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.840 to have at the bottom of advertisements that show people 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:43.760 doing crazy things. You know, don't do this at home. 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.199 Who really needs to be told that, Well, you know, 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.840 they gotta they gotta gauge it so that no one, 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.480 no matter how foolish somebody maybe, no one can blame 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:55.840 them and say, well, you told me this would be okay. 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:57.760 You told me to take my mountain bike and try 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.000 to jump fifteen cars that were on fire or whatever 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:04.399 and put it on my Instagram story. Now that's what 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.160 they're that's what they're dealing with people that are acting 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:08.960 like this is no big deal at all, and I 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.000 have to say that's I'm seeing more and more stories 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.720 that make me think, not only is it a big 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:15.760 deal for people that are in the high risk category, 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.080 it's a problem for anybody to get this disease right now. 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.480 Thanks for listening to the bus sets and show podcasts. 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.600 Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:31.159 wherever you get your podcasts. I have a compromise immune system, 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.600 but I'm still in twenty one. But I'm not even 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:37.280 worried because I just take supplements and like, I self medicate, 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.879 so it's fine. They see, that's not a good idea, 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.879 that's not a smart move, that's not a good place 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.440 for this to be right now. And it's it's troubling 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.879 to me that we have people running around saying things 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.840 like I take enough supplements, so I'm not worried about this. Remember, 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.240 even if you're not worried for yourself, you have to 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.760 be worried for those in the high risk population. And 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:03.640 you can't self regulate whether or not you're contagious because 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.280 there's a lot of information out there already that for 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:10.640 a few weeks. You can be perhaps contagious without even 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:12.879 having any symptoms, without knowing anything about what's going on. 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:15.760 So people need to keep that in mind as well. 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:21.959 And younger people will get this. But there are stories 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.440 out there, and I was speaking to an MD. Look, yeah, 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.679 everyone's now speaking to all the mds they know, So 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.119 this isn't some insider track thing. Every doctor that I know, 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.159 when I can, I ask them about this. And you know, 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.480 there are a few major stressors on the system that 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.639 we're trying to avoid. We keep hearing about the ventilators 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:42.679 and the masks, and you know, those are important issues 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.600 to be sure. There's a fascinating story out of Italy 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.080 about how a hospital was about to run out of 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:52.760 some piece of equipment for the ventilators and a private 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:54.680 company came along with a three D printer and just 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.400 started making that piece for the ventilators. And who knows 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:59.639 how many people that that one act of having that 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:05.200 three D printer, Thank you capitalism, may have saved. And 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:07.280 by the way, I'm also trying to spend more of 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.240 the beginning of the show. I don't want to make 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:14.639 this as nonpartisan a discussion from the outset as we 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.120 can and then I'm going to have to push back 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.200 on the partisan garbage. But I'm always going to try 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.480 to invert the pyramid a little bit for what's essentially 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:24.800 a political talk show, which is what I'm doing here. 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.040 Focus on the realities of this disease, what we're facing 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:31.679 and what's going on first, and then get into you know, 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:33.600 I'm going to try this as much as much as 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:38.280 I can, but young people can get this. Oh. What 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:41.119 I was saying about the the stressor points is that 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.840 if you start getting health professionals who are getting this now, 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.800 that's really that because now your frontline treatment folks they're 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:50.960 taken offline. Some of them will end up in the ICU. 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:52.359 I mean, if some of the best doctors are going 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:54.240 to be people who are in their fifties and sixties, 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:58.240 and if they're taken offline now, you're losing your ability 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.919 to help people that will have breathing and we'll be 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:04.080 in emergency rooms and be in real distress. Because everybody 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:05.960 knows right now you don't want to go to the er. 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.200 You go if you need to, which is always true, 0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:12.399 I know, but in particular right now, you want to 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:14.719 make sure that you're keeping it at that threshold of 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:21.560 you're worried realistically, not worried just because you worry a lot. 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:23.719 I mean, I'm a guy who can sometimes worry more 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:27.159 than I should. I know what that's like. So supplements 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:29.000 are not some that will stop this. Do stay healthy 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:30.719 as much as you can in terms of keeping your 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:34.919 immune system strong. That's very very important here. The spread 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.520 of this disease is certainly affected by the immunity of 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:40.920 every individual that it comes into contact with. It's also 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.280 a reminder that the medical community doesn't know nearly as 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:46.280 much about a lot of things as we would like 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:48.679 them too, which were really what I've been saying. You know, 0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:51.240 we've felt like we're pretty safe for a while. We 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.560 had the sars and mirrors and these things that that 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:58.800 really blew over quickly. This one doesn't seem like it's 0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:01.720 going to blow over quickly, and so that's why you have. 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:05.920 Now let me get into the draconian steps. What's going 0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:09.600 on right now. One of the big ones is the 0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:13.000 closing of businesses, which I've been talking to you about, 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:16.480 and that's that's gonna be tough. I don't really know 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:22.240 how that will end up affecting restaurants, they're gonna have 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:24.520 to keep paying their rent. They've got no income. Maybe 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:27.680 they can do some takeout business and pickup business, but 0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:30.040 it's going to be very hard to meet. You know. 0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:33.360 They're real bread and butter. For most places, at least 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:36.359 most brick and mortar restaurants in New York City is 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:40.080 going to be dining in the place. Waiters make most 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:41.960 of their money off of the servers rather, pardon me, 0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:45.200 make most their money off of tips that's going away, 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:48.960 and a lot of the big ticket meals, you know, things. 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.760 People aren't going to order a bottle of wine from 0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:54.640 a restaurant necessarily, especially if you've got some at home already, 0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:56.480
