I know it's different in different places 18 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: all across the country, but this is going to be 19 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: our reality for the foreseeable. Producer Mark and I are 20 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: talking about how we thought this might be a pretty 21 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: short term, a pretty temporary circumstance doing this show in 22 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: our remote locations, but I think the remote locations are 23 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: now the official freedom huts for the foreseeable. We have 24 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: some updates for you on where we stand now against 25 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: this A whole bunch of stories I want to bring 26 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: to your attention today. So lots to do, lots to 27 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: talk about, as it's always the case, Let's get first 28 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: the President speaking about what the priority is here. There's 29 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: been a redoubling of the mission. I think there's greater 30 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: clarity now there had been before from the administration about 31 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: how they want to proceed in terms of the timeline 32 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: and the duration of some of these restrictions. Here is 33 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: what the President had to say at Play nine. Well, 34 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: it's so bad for the economy, but the economy is 35 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: number two on my list. First. I want to save 36 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: a lot of lives. We're going to get the economy back. 37 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: I think the economy is going to come back very fast. 38 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: Steeves just asking about the economy, what's it like. We 39 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: basically shut down our country, and we did that in 40 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: order to keep people separated, keep people apart. They're not 41 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: working in offices and not in airplanes. Together. You know, 42 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: we really shut it down. And you know, one hundred 43 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 1: and fifty hundred and fifty one other countries are pretty 44 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: much shut down. But here we had the greatest economy 45 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: in the world. We had the greatest economy in the 46 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: history of our country. And I had to go from 47 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: doing a great job for three years to shutting it down. 48 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: But you know what, We're going to build it up, 49 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: and we're going to build it up rapidly, and I 50 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: think in the end we'll be stronger for it. We 51 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: learned a lot, the President saying, look, this is the 52 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: way it's going to be. This is now the mission. 53 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: It is to do the absolute maximum for virus suppression 54 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: measures now, and then bringing back the economy, which everyone 55 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: now understands has been effectively frozen in place, well not 56 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: even really frozen in place, because it is worse. It 57 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: is worse than it was before. The markets have gotten crushed. 58 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: There's a lot of lost jobs, there's a lot of 59 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: lost businesses. And as I walk around the city, I 60 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: suppose one of the problems I've had with my perception 61 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: of this or an issue that I have to engage, 62 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: is I see I see the shuttered stores. I see 63 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: the individuals who are trying to scratch out a living 64 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: in the very very few now restaurants that remain open 65 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: here in the center of New York City, and I 66 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: feel terribly for them, and I've got to think that 67 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: there's a way to balance this out, perhaps take other 68 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: precautions or other their measures. There must be something else 69 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: that we can do other than just this, right, and no, 70 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: it turns out that this is the only thing that 71 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: we really can do under the circumstances. This is the 72 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: only thing that the government now will at least for 73 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: the next month, have as the as the strategy. I 74 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: have been concerned about this, as you know. I'm very worried, 75 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: especially about the impact on places where they don't have 76 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: a lot of COVID nineteen and then it could the 77 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: economic devastation might last for a very very long time. 78 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: And people who are trying to be adults and talking 79 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: good faith understand that there are there are some risks 80 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: that society excepts when even risk to life as just 81 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: a fact of its day to day functioning. But this 82 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: virus and the threat that it poses is clearly added 83 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: and created an additional degree of risk even beyond that 84 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: which we would tolerate, for say, other major illnesses and 85 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: other issues that come up that pose threat to lives 86 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: and to well livelihoods as well. So now this is 87 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,799 Speaker 1: where we are, This is the mission. We're all supposed 88 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: to do everything we can. This is a national effort, 89 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: top down, to do whatever is in our power to 90 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: make sure that this virus is the absolute minimum of spread, 91 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: given where it already is, and therefore also an absolute 92 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: minimum of casualties. And I think that the mood of 93 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: the nation has shifted, or at least the mood I 94 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: can say the mood of the government, and I think 95 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: with it much of the national though I can't speak 96 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: for other parts of the country, but certainly the because 97 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: New York is in a particularly bad spot right now. 98 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: It's in the worst spot of any place in the 99 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: United States when it comes to this by far, I 100 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: think we have ten x the number of established cases 101 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: that Los Angeles does, for example. But the administration, I mean, 102 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: they're there's no question that the administration has shifted from 103 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: a week or two ago sounding like, look, we might 104 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: have to go back to work. There's going to be 105 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: some risks to now saying no all out against the virus. 106 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: Everything to do everything we can do we must in 107 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: the suppression of this virus. And I think we're also 108 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: at a point where we have to take it as well. 109 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: You don't have to take it on faith, but we 110 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: have to have a belief that the federal government will 111 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: be able to bring back the federal government will be 112 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: able to resurrect the economy in a few months time 113 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: when it starts to allow for more working and you know, 114 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: an additional economic activity. I think it's a pretty big 115 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: I think it's a pretty big risk that we are running. 116 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: And I've been saying that all along, But I also 117 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: understand how that people say, well, that's the choice that 118 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: we've made as a society. Now. The is something we're 119 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: just going to accept, all right. So we're going to 120 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: add trillions of dollars to the debt, We're going to 121 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: have unemployment that reaches close to forty fifty million, We're 122 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: going to send a lot of checks from a treasury 123 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: which hopefully we'll have at least very important short term 124 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: benefits for everyone. And that's where we're going. That's what 125 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: we're going to do. And we hope that there's no inflation. 126 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: We hope that there's no economic devastation that results from this. 127 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: But I also think that the government's attitude now is 128 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: we can handle whatever the economic situation is. I'm not 129 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they're right or not. I don't know. 130 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: I'm at the hope in prey phase for the government. 131 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: The same government officials and agencies, and from the federal 132 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: all the way down to the local level, those same 133 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: individuals are who are incapable or unable to prepare adequately 134 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: for what we're seeing here. Those those same people are 135 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: now telling us, no worry, We're going to take this 136 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: unprecedented and major economic step of shutting down an economy 137 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: and we'll just bring it all back. And it looked 138 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: maybe they're right, and then it's clearly the right move. 139 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: I've been worried that this will trigger a depression, and 140 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: now I'm seeing that there's very little. There seems to 141 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: be very little concern over that. I don't know. May 142 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: maybe I'm just reading the wrong newspapers, seeing the wrong 143 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: I don't read newspapers, but reading the wrong websites and 144 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: news organizations and opinion columns and seeing other people who 145 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: think a lot about these issues for a living. But 146 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: we've decided that we're not worried about the economy right now. 147 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: We're just going to do everything we can to deal 148 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: with this virus. And I do wonder if down the 149 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: line there'll be more of a movement to have more 150 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: extreme precautions in place during And I'm not comparing this 151 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: to flu. This is worse than flu, and I've known 152 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: that for a while. It's a lot worse than the flu. 153 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: But I wonder if when we get past this, which 154 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: will be a certainly a happy day, if we will 155 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 1: reach a phase where everyone realizes, or everyone's told that 156 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: they're now expected to wear gloves and face mask when 157 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: they go in the office for normal flu for which 158 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: we lose you know, as you know, the numbers now 159 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: are constantly talking about anywhere from twenty to eighty thousand 160 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: people a year. And I wonder also how much this 161 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: every life is worth, any amount of risk, and worth 162 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: any amount of systemic findo systemic economic pressure. I wonder 163 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: where else that will apply, because I think that's that's 164 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,599 Speaker 1: been the change in mentality that has occurred, and in 165 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: large part it's because of the people that are around 166 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: the president in the case that he has made to 167 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: people about what needs to be done here. So that's 168 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: the latest for me. Is that is that the president 169 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: or the most important thing here I think is that 170 00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: the President is re calibrating the way forward. And this 171 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: is in response to what he said on Sunday. I 172 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: mean here he is saying that you know, we're gonna win, 173 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. But also there is no other 174 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: option here play clip ten. We have no other choice. 175 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: Every one of us has a role to play in 176 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: winning this war. Every citizen, family, and business can make 177 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: the difference in stopping the virus. This is our shared 178 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: patriotic duty challenging times or ahead for the next thirty days, 179 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: and this is a very vital thirty days. We're sort 180 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: of putting it all on the line. This thirty day 181 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: is so important because we have to get back. But 182 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: the more we dedicate ourselves today, the more quickly we 183 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: will emerge on the other side of the crisis. And 184 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: that's the time we're waiting for. The more we commit 185 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: ourselves now, the sooner we can win the fight and 186 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: return to our lives, and they will be great lives, 187 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: maybe better than ever. There we go. That's what the 188 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: President is saying. We have no other choice. We have 189 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: to do everything we can here to move forward against 190 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: the virus in this way. And we are going to see, however, 191 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: some under any other circumstances, which you would have to 192 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: consider to be very concerning circumstances, we are going to 193 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: see situations in which there are, for example, state and 194 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: local authorities that are really just deciding that there are 195 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: no constitutional protections. This is already happening. I mean, you 196 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: had to Blasio yesterday say that he might shut down 197 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: a house of worship permanently. That's not something you would 198 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: usually hear from the mayor of a large city. You 199 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: have mandates to stay at home. I saw that in 200 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: DC they're saying that maybe you will be subjected to 201 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: ninety days in home ninety days in prison if you 202 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: don't confine yourself to home. So on the one hand, 203 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: you have cities that are releasing prisoners, and I've even 204 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: seeing some reports now that it's not just elderly prisoners 205 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: who pose no threat to the public, but they're releasing 206 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: prisoners much more, much more broadly than that. You know, 207 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: much more dangerous prisoners are actually being up our being 208 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: caught up in these release or I guess should say, 209 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: released in these release programs. So you have cities that 210 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: are going to start having to enforce this, and right now, 211 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't seem like it is all that problematic 212 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: from a liberty perspective. Right now, it's it's an issue 213 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: that we can philosophically understand. Perhaps, But because we're staying home, 214 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: are we going to be staying home and relatively quiet 215 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: in mid April late April? If this is as bad 216 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: as the numbers that they're telling us, I can't imagine 217 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: that they're really going to have much of a relaxation 218 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: of this in May, because the way now the discussion 219 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: has been set up. Anybody who says we need even 220 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: if there's elevated risk, which elevated risk means that there 221 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: will be more people who could conceivably catch this disease 222 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: and could die from it. Anybody who's willing to say 223 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: at any point, yes, let's start to go back to normal. 224 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: If there's a jump in cases. Doctor Fauci talked about 225 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: the rebound, that person will have people, that leader, that official, 226 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: whoever it is, will have people screaming that they're they've 227 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: got blood on their hands. They've got blood on their hands. 228 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: That's what we'll be hearing all the time, and that 229 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: means that who's really gonna want to take that upon themselves? 230 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: You know? Right now, no one wants to be the 231 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: one who has to say. I mean, if you even 232 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: bring up the economy right now, I mean, I'm telling 233 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: you this, many of you that I'm speaking to on 234 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: this show, I'm saying I have concerns about the economy. 235 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,599 Speaker 1: The feeling in New York right now is if you 236 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: even say, hey, are we sure that we can handle 237 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: this economically, that maybe there's not some other concern that 238 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: we should work into this whole process of you are 239 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: you are like Adolf Hitler brought back to life. You're 240 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: the worst person ever. If you even bring up the economy, 241 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: you're a bad person. That's the attitude here in New 242 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: York City. I'm sure that's true in other places as well. 243 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: Even though the people that are being the hardest hit 244 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: by this right now are in fact people who are 245 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: working people. I mean when I say hardest hit by this, 246 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: I mean on the economic side, obviously, not including those 247 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: who are infected with the virus. They're working people. They're 248 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: people who are losing their businesses, and there's just all 249 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: of this lost productivity. I mean, what happens if you're 250 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: somebody who is in the midst of trying to finalize 251 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: a major transaction for your business and now now there's 252 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: really no business being done. You're you're finished, right, Your 253 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: life's work may go up and smoke. But we're being 254 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: told that that's just the cost that we are all 255 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: going to bear now for maximum measures against the virus. 256 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: And I understand all you have to do is take 257 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: a look at some of the information, some of the photos, 258 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: and just anecdotal conversations with doctors. I mean, I've had 259 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: conversation with in some of the hospitals here, and they 260 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: will tell you that this is much worse. The meaning 261 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: that the virus is much worse than we were led 262 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: to believe, even even in a couple of weeks ago. 263 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: Every day now, the more we know about this, the 264 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: more we realize it is very rapidly spread, is incredibly 265 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: dangerous to older people, but it is a it is 266 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: a dangerous adversary even to the immune system of relatively 267 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: healthy people. It can be if it goes badly, it 268 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: goes badly very quickly. So this is where we are. 269 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: The discussion about the Constitution, the discussion about individual rights 270 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: that right now is being pushed aside. And if you 271 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: even if you even bring up any of the Bill 272 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: of Rights, if you even bring up any of the 273 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: freedoms that we're supposed to have under the Constitution, you're 274 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: essentially shouted down for being a murderer. So we have 275 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: somehow transitioned in much of the country. I know some 276 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: of you don't yet feel it as strongly, but give 277 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: it time. I mean, you better be. Even in a 278 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: state like that is generally a little more of a 279 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: conservative leaning state, you're going to have a lot of 280 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: policies if you don't already that just are you do 281 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: what the government says. You're just going to do what 282 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: the government says. There's no you know, you do not 283 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: get to say there is no vote. I understand, I 284 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: understand why we're being told this is necessary, and I 285 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: know that you know the horrible disease. We all understand 286 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: how painful it is for anybody who gets this and 287 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: people who are losing loved ones to this. But I 288 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: do think that there must be at least room for 289 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: a discussion, a reminder, if you will, that we're effectively 290 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: letting the government do whatever it wants at this point, 291 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: and that right now may feel like a necessity, but 292 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: and maybe it is a necessity, and you could discuss 293 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: this and argue that this, but it's also a precedent. 294 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: And how long does the government get to do this? 295 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: Where else does the government get to do this? Remember 296 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: that there are other issues that people view as saving lives, 297 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: and if you oppose them, you're opposed to saving lives. 298 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: That's the way. That's the way the left frames a 299 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: lot of things. Do you think that they're going to 300 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: stop now that we've all this one time succumbed to 301 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: being told you're just going to do this because the 302 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: government says so, you think this is going to be 303 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: the one and only time. I doubt it. You're in 304 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 305 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: With all the talk of listening to the experts, I 306 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: have to tell you that I've been paying pretty close 307 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: attention to the experts as much as I can find 308 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: them all along here, and they've been wrong. Mostly I've 309 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: been focused on the leadership that's been wrong, and there's 310 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: been there have been people telling you go out live 311 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: your life, don't worry about it, it's fine. But now 312 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: we see that even some of the the medical advice 313 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: in the medical community. I shouldn't say the advice so 314 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: much as the assessments, but coronavirus may be contagious longer 315 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: than thought, even after the cessation of symptoms, it might 316 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: be transmittable. It seems to be much more transmittable, three 317 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: times as easily transmitted as the flu, which we weren't 318 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: really told initially, and certainly there was no they weren't 319 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: clear on that point. And it is dangerous even to 320 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: people outside of the age and not as dangerous, but 321 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: as dangerous people even outside of elevated risk of age 322 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: and other health issues. So they're still learning a lot 323 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: about this as we're making these massive decisions about what 324 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: to do with the country. Thanks for listening to The 325 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: Bus Sesson Show podcasts.

You see 329 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: this virus move across the state. You see the virus 330 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: move across this nation. There is no American who is 331 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: immune to this virus. I don't care if you live 332 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: in Kansas. I don't care if you live in Texas. 333 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,959 Speaker 1: There is no American that is immune. What is happening 334 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: to New York is not an anomaly. There's nothing about 335 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: a New Yorker's immune system that is any different than 336 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: any other Americans immune system. So in many ways, New 337 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: York is just a canary in the coal mine. But 338 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: you see us going through here, you will see happening 339 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: all across this country. So here we have the governor 340 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: of New York saying that this is going to happen everywhere. Now, 341 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: some of what he says, or I think some of 342 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: what his intent is is true, and that is that 343 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: there is no difference obviously in the immune system of 344 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: somebody from New York versus somebody from Texas or Utah 345 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: or Montana, you name it, right, We're all We're all 346 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: the same human beings, we're all the same mutantism. Okay, fine, 347 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: but that's an obvious point, right. We don't really need 348 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: to be told that. We don't need that to be said. 349 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: So let's get to what is the dispute about, then, 350 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: because I know some of you listen to this, and 351 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: I try to be as aware of this as possible 352 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: as I'm talking to you, because New York is different 353 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: from other places around the country. New York is a 354 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: different circumstance than what you're dealing with really everywhere else. 355 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: So though, it is getting pretty bad, and there was 356 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: that one really horrible outbreak in Washington State early on, 357 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: and that's getting really bad in Florida, in New Orleans. 358 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: You know, look, it's heartbreaking everywhere that this thing is 359 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: getting bad. I mean, the realities here of what this 360 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: disease does to people, how quickly they're gone. I mean, 361 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: it's you read about this enough, and I'll be honest 362 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: with you, it's tough to it's tough to stave off 363 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: a little bit of a feeling of just I guess 364 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: you'd ever say, is just depressed from having to read 365 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: about this all day and be stuck inside. So you 366 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: all are a big help in that regard. It's really 367 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: tough to be locked away here and not really have 368 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: any contact with human beings, and yet I get to 369 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: speak to you all across the country, and that's one 370 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: thing that really makes me feel connected and keeps me going, 371 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: because otherwise it's it's just all coronavirus in the news 372 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: all day long. And this is my job, this is 373 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: my lively, this is what I do. I talk about 374 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: what's going on. I talk about the news. So Cuomo's 375 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: point here that we're all the same, is not an 376 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: easy one for people to miss, right, We're aware of that, 377 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: but I mean, our immune systems are all the same. 378 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: We get that. But okay, now, what really is he 379 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: saying or where is the disagreement? That disagreement is should 380 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: all these other states, should all these other states find 381 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: themselves in the same circumstance, or should they be taking 382 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: really the same precaution as New York City? Or are 383 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: they allowed to our states allowed to make determinations for 384 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: what level of risk? Remember, level of risk is what 385 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: we're talking about with these different infections and or with 386 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: the possibility of infection, and level of risk is also 387 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: going to be different for different places. Risk, though, does 388 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: translate at some number when you look at the aggregates 389 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: into infection, and infection will translate into some number of 390 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: people who die from this. But do states get to 391 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: And I feel like that's almost a controversial thing to 392 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: say these days, we're talking about risk mitigation for a virus. 393 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: I mean Anthony Fauci said that we might have a 394 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: rebound if we try to relax some of these at 395 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: some point in the future. So that clearly means that 396 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: we're going to make a determination. You have to make 397 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: a determination one day that there will be elevated risk, 398 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: that there will be an elevation of the possibility of 399 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: people getting this in order to achieve greater normalcy, economic activity, 400 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: and freedom and freedom of movement for for all the 401 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: rest of us. Right that's the that is the discussion 402 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: that will be happening. But it's not happening right now. 403 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 1: Right now, it's whatever the state wants, whatever the government 404 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: is telling us. And so I just ask, why is 405 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: it that the states that don't have the same degree 406 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,239 Speaker 1: of cases should take the same approach as say New 407 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: York where density population density matters. I mean, I happen 408 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: to live in one of the most densely populated areas 409 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: of all of the country, and one of the more 410 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: densely populated parts of the entire world. I on the 411 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: way to the subway, on the way to work. I'm 412 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: on the subway, I'm packed with people shoulder to shoulder 413 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: all over and touching things that hundreds and hundreds of 414 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: people have touched the same day before me. With the 415 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: rails and the things that you hold. I don't know, 416 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you what do you call the 417 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: thing producer Mark, that's from the that hangs down from 418 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: the roof of the subway car pole? No, not the pole, 419 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: you know, the little hand thing? Yeah, the thing you 420 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: grab all right, you know they grab the grabby great, yeah, yeah, exactly, 421 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: whatever that is. So, but you know, I'm touching all 422 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: these things, and so there's a greater risk of virus 423 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: for me. Then say a lot of you who live 424 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: in a house, get in a car, drive to your work. 425 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: Maybe your work has four or five employees there and 426 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: you all have separate spaces where you're working, and you 427 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: go home to your family, and like that's it. I'm 428 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: I'm at a much greater day to day risk because 429 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: of where I am. And so wouldn't it be sensible 430 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: for different states, or at least different parts of states 431 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: to be able to make determinations for themselves about what 432 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: level of risk they're willing to to tolerate here. But now, 433 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: see what happens is the federal government and other people 434 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: that are trying to do maximum virus suppression would turn 435 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: around and say, okay, well if you do that, though, 436 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: you know, if you don't have the same social distancing restrictions, 437 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: business shutdowns, all these things that we know now have 438 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: become defining characteristics of our day to day lives. If 439 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: we don't do that, you're just going to become the 440 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: next hot spot and then you're going to be a 441 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: drain on our resources. And we're already dealing with this, 442 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: and so there really is going to be a lot 443 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: of pressure not to allow for states to make those 444 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: determinations from the federal government. And that just means that 445 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: you're looking at this is a long and somewhat roundabout 446 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: way of saying, you're looking at what it's effect that 447 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 1: we're going to turn into a one size fits all 448 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: policy very soon of businesses. If I mean, I know 449 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: some states are a little bit lagging behind on this, 450 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: but you're going to be told businesses have to all 451 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: be shut down, everybody has to shelter at home, self quarantine, 452 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: stay in place, doesn't really matter where you are in 453 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: the country. That's what's probably going to happen. That's where 454 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: the country I think is trending right now. It's amazing 455 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: what a shift there's been, and I suppose it's because 456 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 1: of the numbers we've seen. Look the numbers. The numbers 457 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: are higher than I had thought they would be based 458 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: on everything that I was reading, not right now, but 459 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: the assess numbers that it could be one hundred to 460 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: two hundred thousand in this country, and the President saying 461 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: less than one hundred thousand dead would be relatively successful 462 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: in his response, again, that's just what he's that's what 463 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 1: he's saying. You know, I don't need to be yelled at. 464 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: You don't care about eighty thousand of We all care 465 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: about it. We're just trying to do the best we 466 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: can here. We're with a terrible circumstance that nobody really 467 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: has the answers too. So is New York the harbinger 468 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: of things to come for the rest of the country, 469 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: or is New York the worst hit place? And other 470 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: parts around the country will be in a much better 471 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: position to treat this and to help people get better. 472 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: Here's Mary de Blasio, for example, here talking about the 473 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: amount of assistance that the federal government has been providing them. 474 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: Play sixteen. My message to the President is thank you, 475 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: and we need more help. And that's not because any 476 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: of us likes to have to say that, but because 477 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: it's true that the toughest weeks are ahead. We are 478 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: bracing ourselves for something we've never seen before in any 479 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: of our lives, and the federal government, in many ways 480 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: is the only force that can help us to reach 481 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: the level of preparation we need to to save every 482 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: life we can save. So I'm gonna keep calling the President, 483 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: keep appealing to him to get us all the help 484 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: we need for these really tough weeks, and then again 485 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 1: we will turn around and help everyone else in this 486 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: country right after. I wish that Dablasia was a little 487 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: bit more confidence inspiring than he is. But this is 488 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: the mayor we've got here, so those of you who 489 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: live in other parts of the country be thankful. It's 490 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: very unlikely there's some places where the mayors is bad. 491 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: Very unlikely your mayor is as bad as ours. But 492 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: this is now. We are in the fight for the 493 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: next few weeks. That's where this is going to be. 494 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: There's not gonna be any other discussion, and really, at 495 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 1: a national policy level, we are just going to be 496 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 1: in the midst of an all out effort to suppress 497 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: this virus, to help medical personnel, to build the facilities 498 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: and the equipment necessary, and everything else has been put 499 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: on hold. So that is where we are, my friends, 500 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: and I don't see that changing anytime soon. And I 501 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: can certainly sign on for the maximum value here of 502 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: protecting life. I just am. I still have my concerns 503 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: that we're pushing aside the economic destruction and lives ruined 504 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: and lives lost if we head into a depression. But 505 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: the government's saying that's not going to happen, and who knows, 506 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: who knows at this point, I've never seen no one's 507 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: ever seen anything like this before. So anyone who speaks 508 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: with certainty on these matters I think is fooling themselves 509 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: as much as they're trying to fool anybody else. You're 510 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 511 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: In terms of the happy talk we've had on this 512 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: front from the federal government, there is no sign that 513 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: the Navy hospital ships that the President made such a 514 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: big deal of the comfort and the mercy, there's no 515 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: sign that there'll be anywhere on site helping out anywhere 516 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: in the country for weeks. Yet the President said when 517 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: he announced that those ships would be put into action 518 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: against the COVID nineteen epidemic, he said one of those 519 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: ships would be operational in New York Harbor by next week. 520 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: That's nonsense. It will not be there next week. It 521 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: is She was wrong. That's Rachel Mattaw, I don't know, 522 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: fifteen or twenty million dollar year, main news anchor over 523 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: an MSNBC. Why take that position though? Why view the 524 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: president trying to tell people that he's doing what he 525 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: can to get additional resources to New York. Why is 526 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: he wh as he's saying this if he's not really 527 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: making the effort to do it right, start with that, 528 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: And why would Rachel Maddow then take it as an 529 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: opportunity to say, oh, but it's not happening and to 530 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: snark about this, and she's wrong. It's here, The ship 531 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: is here. I actually saw it sailing into the port 532 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: or Peer ninety rather the Peer here in Manhattan, and 533 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: I saw it as it was coming past my apartment. 534 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: It's pretty amazing sight. Actually, it was interesting thing to see. 535 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: You don't always see. Now, it's also a moment of 536 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: reckoning that we have a naval hospital ship that has 537 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: had to arrive here in the largest city in America 538 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: to try to help with hospital overflow because of what's 539 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: going on. I mean, I have no illusions at all 540 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: about what really this symbolizes. But look, anytime the United 541 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: States Navy shows up somewhere, I feel a little bit better. 542 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: I feel a little better than I did before they 543 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: got there. And that's certainly the case here. But the 544 00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: press continues to be so reckless about all of this. 545 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: The press continues to be wrong and just deeply and 546 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: utterly irresponsible in the way that they approach coverage of 547 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: this administration. And you know, I can understand why there's 548 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: a need right now, there's a sense that we should 549 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: all be nicer to each other. And I've I've been 550 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: trying to be less part as in, I've been trying 551 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: to be a little bit less of a what's the 552 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: word go less, less hard less, and less intense on 553 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: my ideological opponents as a general matter, because I do 554 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: think that we are united. Everyone is inherently united in 555 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: their humanity, in the desire to make things better. When 556 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 1: it comes to the situation of America right now, we 557 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: want to beat this virus who want to find a 558 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: way to get past this virus. That said, there's not 559 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: really the same willingness from Democrats who are covering this 560 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: administration to stop with the nonsense game. They're still trying 561 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: to score points for their audiences against this guy, and 562 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: I find that against the president. I find that really unseemly. 563 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: And you know, these press conferences, we'll talk more about 564 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: what they've been doing and what some of the media 565 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: responses to them have been. These press conferences I think 566 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: have been a source of real information and some degree 567 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: of emotional support for the country. I mean, here you 568 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: have the president of the United States who's saying, look, 569 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: we're we're doing all these things. Here are all the 570 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: things that we're trying to do to deal with this, 571 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: and you have people that are trying to play gotcha 572 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: games about Look a lot of people. I haven't been 573 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: right on every step of this, and I admit it. 574 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: I've before some others thought that this was a very 575 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: serious issue, but I wish I had recognized the serious 576 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: of its seriousness of it. You know, two months ago. 577 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: The leadership has been in overwhelmingly wrong on this really 578 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: at all levels and in both parties this is worse 579 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: than they told us it would be even two or 580 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: three weeks ago. So I think we'd come to grips 581 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: with I would argue even a week ago. I and 582 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: the last week what we've seen is, oh, this is 583 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: really you know, now that we are up close and 584 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: personal with this virus in New York City, now that 585 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: there's real reports coming in, is this is definitely not 586 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: the flu. It's much much worse than that. So people 587 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: have been wrong. And I don't understand why, with the 588 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: President trying to give information about what's happening now, what's 589 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: going to be going on in the future, why anyone 590 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: views it as particularly useful or helpful to take that 591 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: opportunity to ask the president about strategy right now and 592 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: about what we're doing, and try to get him on 593 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: some older, earlier thing that he did that he said 594 00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: that they didn't like. You know, they are playing gotcha games. 595 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: Here's the President in an exchange with Jim Acosta, who 596 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: continues to be the fakest journalist in America. I don't 597 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: know what else to say. I mean, even now when 598 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: there's real problems, there's real lives at risk, and you know, 599 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 1: we've got massive issues here. Here's what he says. Play 600 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: clip one. Let's give it a shot. What do you 601 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: say to Americans who are upset with you over the 602 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 1: way you downplayed this crisis over the last couple of months. 603 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: We have it very much under control in this country. 604 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: The coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. 605 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: It's going to disappear. It's like a miracle. It will disappear. 606 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: At March fourth. We have a very small number of 607 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,399 Speaker 1: people in this country infected. March tenth. We're prepared. We're 608 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: doing a great job with it. It will go away. 609 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: Just stay calm, it will go away. What do you 610 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: say to Americans who you've got this wrong? I do 611 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: want them to stay calm, and we are doing a 612 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: great job. If you look at those individual statements there, 613 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: stay calm, it will go away. You know it. You 614 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: know it is going and it will go away, and 615 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a great victory. And it's people like 616 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,919 Speaker 1: you and CNN that say things like that that it's 617 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 1: why people just don't want to listen to CN anymore. 618 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: You could ask a normal question. The statements I made 619 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,439 Speaker 1: are I want to keep the country calm. I don't 620 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,399 Speaker 1: want panic in the country. I could cause panic much 621 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: better than even you. I could do much. I would 622 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: make you look like a minor league player. But you 623 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: know what, I don't want to do that. I want 624 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: to have our country be calm and strong and fight 625 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: and win and it will go away. And instead of 626 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: asking a nasty, snarky question like that, you should ask 627 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: a real question yes correct. It would be better for 628 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: all of us if they would ask real questions instead 629 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: of the gotcha nonsense that we see from CNN as 630 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: well as other news organizations.

God had been taken out of 635 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: our schools and lives. A nation had turned his back 636 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: on God. And I encourage you'd use this time at 637 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: home to home to get back in the word, read 638 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 1: our Bibles, and spend time with our families. Our president 639 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,720 Speaker 1: gave us so much hope, where just a few short 640 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: months ago we had the best economy, the lowest unemployment, 641 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: and wages going up. It was amazing with our great 642 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: president vice president and this administration and all the great 643 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: people in this country praying daily we will get through 644 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: this and get back to a place that's stronger and 645 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: safer than ever. Miche Lindell has taken his company My Pillow. 646 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of you are very familiar with it. 647 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: I know Mike, by the way, full disclosure. I think 648 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,280 Speaker 1: Mike's a great guy, a great American success story, and 649 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: he's he's just he's incredible. I mean, he comes from 650 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: a background of streamely difficult circumstances. He was a crack addict, 651 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: and he's very open about this. He built an incredibly 652 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,760 Speaker 1: successful company, built it all by himself, pulled it all together, 653 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: and now he's not just a prolific sponsor on a 654 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: lot of talk radio programs and on Fox News you 655 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: certainly see him, but also somebody who's closed to the 656 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: White House. He's a good guy. He's a good guy, 657 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: and he's doing a very good thing right now, and 658 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 1: that is making fifty thousand masks a day, his company 659 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: that makes pillows. And I know everyone's been joking you 660 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 1: should call it my face mask instead of my pillow now, 661 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: but he's going to be making face masks, masks to 662 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 1: help first responders, doctors, nurses, and this is in response 663 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: to urgent need.

They're stepping up 665 00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: to help people, to keep as many people safe as 666 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: possi as we try to work through this circumstance. And 667 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: Mike is one of the ones that was called up. 668 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 1: There were a bunch and there have been a lot 669 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: of CEOs and a lot of captains of industry, chiefs 670 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: of commerce who have come along to speak with the 671 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: administration about how they can help and how we can 672 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 1: mobilize the private sector in this fight against the virus. 673 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,720 Speaker 1: And it was just stunning and disheartening. And I shouldn't 674 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: say surprising, because it's not surprising, but there were people 675 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: who took this as an opportunity. I mean, Mike Lindell 676 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:38,879 Speaker 1: is discussing how he's trying to help, how he's trying 677 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: to do good for people, and he's told that or 678 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: people Action says told the people are reaching out on 679 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: Twitter and everything else, and they are dunking on him 680 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,760 Speaker 1: left and right. I couldn't believe it. And Ali Velshi, 681 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: a journalist at MSNBC was doing the whole I can't 682 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: believe Mike Lindell is up there right now. I mean, 683 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: there's so much snark, so much, so many surly, undermining, 684 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:14,399 Speaker 1: nasty comments being made about Mike Lindell when he's going 685 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: up there because he's answering the call. He is taking 686 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,240 Speaker 1: his company that could still sell a whole lot of pillows, 687 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: and they are great pillows, by the way, I've got 688 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: I've got I just use one of his towels this 689 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,879 Speaker 1: morning when I took a shower. I mean, I'm I've 690 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: got one of his pillows in my room right now. 691 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 1: So he could just keep doing that right and run 692 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: a very successful company, is a very wealthy guy now. 693 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: But instead he's trying to help and there were still 694 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: people being being vicious to him. I mean, the level 695 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: of nastiness out there. Although you know, there are some 696 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: people who when circumstances become tough, when things get more difficult, 697 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: they are they are the best in them comes out. 698 00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: They rise to it. They are kinder, they are more reliable, 699 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 1: they are more honorable, they are more dependent, or maybe 700 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: not more honorable, but you know, they're more courageous. People 701 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: who are honorable tend to be honorable all the time. 702 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: And then there are people who when things get tough, 703 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: you see more of the unfortunate parts of their personality. 704 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,280 Speaker 1: And for a lot of the left wing media, there's 705 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 1: so much nastiness still out there. I mean, you've seen 706 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: this with as I've been telling you, anybody that says 707 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: and there are a number of us who have been 708 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 1: accused of this just for even bringing up the economic 709 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 1: calculations here. You know, it's hard for me. I mean, 710 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:40,879 Speaker 1: I went yesterday for a walk and I saw all 711 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,319 Speaker 1: these stores in New York City. They are shut down, 712 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,320 Speaker 1: and they have these little handwritten notes and they're trying 713 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 1: to be inspiring. And you know, these are places. A 714 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: lot of them are neighborhood spots. I mean, I'm not 715 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: talking about and by the way, the workers at McDonald's 716 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 1: and Chapotle and all that, I'm just as worried about them. 717 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 1: But you would think that maybe their companies are in 718 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 1: a better position to continue to sustain their employment and 719 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: to be there right. I mean, I feel like most 720 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: chipotleis or McDonald's are going to be back in business 721 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 1: when things open up again. I don't know if the 722 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: mom and pop stores. I don't know if the places 723 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,359 Speaker 1: that are owned by individuals are going to be there 724 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 1: and then they're going to be able to come back. 725 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 1: And they write these notes that are saying things like, 726 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,799 Speaker 1: we've you know, we've been honored to serve your this 727 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,880 Speaker 1: community for twenty years. You know, we've been honored to 728 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: be in business here since you know, two thousand and 729 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 1: four or whatever, and we hope to see you again. 730 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,320 Speaker 1: But if we don't stay safe in all the past, 731 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 1: and you know, a little smiley faces and hearts, I mean, 732 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: this is what you're seeing in these stores. And I 733 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: just think that that's a part of the pain. I mean, 734 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: millions and millions of people are going through that, and 735 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 1: even if they do come back, I mean, the anxiety 736 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,879 Speaker 1: that they must feel right now is extreme. I could 737 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,399 Speaker 1: imagine nothing else that the anxiety they feel must be very, 738 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: very powerful. And that's why as I now, you know, 739 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,760 Speaker 1: sit here and try to think about the best ways 740 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 1: to be helpful. I mean, I think about how ordering 741 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 1: food from them, you know, double double tipping, and you 742 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: know I should even step and I'm just gonna start 743 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: giving I'm just gonna start giving every delivery guy a 744 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: twenty whenever they show up to deliver food. I know 745 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 1: for some of you, the food delivery doesn't seem like 746 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: as it's as much a day to day thing in 747 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,359 Speaker 1: New York. Food deliveries everywhere. I mean, this is what 748 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: people tend to do. We don't I like to cook. 749 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,479 Speaker 1: Most people in the city that I know just order 750 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: in their food all the time. There's so many restaurants 751 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 1: around here because of all the population density, it can 752 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 1: be supported. Yesterday, in my lobby of my building, you know, 753 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 1: the entryway, there was a guy who I thought was 754 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,319 Speaker 1: the was the owner from the way he was talking 755 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: about it, but actually I think he's now the actually 756 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 1: the manager of a local restaurant nearby. And he was 757 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,240 Speaker 1: giving out menus and I mean he looked he looked 758 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: really on edge. I mean he looked a little bit distraught. 759 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: He's giving them many diseases. Please please if you can 760 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: order where Really, you know, business is like nothing, and 761 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,320 Speaker 1: we're we're getting desperate and we're trying to stay open 762 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 1: and we're trying to keep you know, keep things going. 763 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 1: And you know, I took his menu and I ordered 764 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: last night and the food was excellent. Um, but that's 765 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 1: you know, there's a real psychological pain here too, and 766 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 1: I just wish that we didn't have to have an 767 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 1: either or. I mean, every everyone who's reading any newspaper 768 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: or aware of anything that's going on in the country 769 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 1: understands how serious the virus is now and how many 770 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: lives it's taking. As I said, the virus is worse 771 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 1: than I anticipated. It's more deadly, it's more easily spread. 772 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 1: And I'm not an expert on this. I was just 773 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: reading this. The experts were wrong. That's part of why 774 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 1: a lot of us didn't really understand where this was, 775 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: understand how it was going to hit us. But the 776 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,880 Speaker 1: impact of this on on businesses is something that I 777 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 1: at least think is worth some attention, especially as I 778 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 1: have three hours a day with you and there's only 779 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,280 Speaker 1: so much that we can do to talk about where 780 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,360 Speaker 1: we are with the numbers on this virus and the 781 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 1: shortage of protective equipment, and you know, every day we 782 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: hit that, we talk about it. But there are other things, 783 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 1: there are other aspects of life that are continuing on, 784 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 1: and I'll try to give a voice to that. But 785 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,880 Speaker 1: Michae Lindell back to what started this, mobilizing his company 786 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 1: to try to do everything that he can to assist 787 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:30,800 Speaker 1: in this, to assist in this need for personal protective equipment. 788 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 1: You know, you don't have to applaud it, although I 789 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 1: think that's a normal response, but you do have to 790 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:43,279 Speaker 1: respect it and to be disrespectful. When somebody steps up 791 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: like this to help out people that really need it, 792 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 1: when the whole country needs it, just goes to something 793 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 1: that's wrong in the minds of these enraged leftists. I mean, 794 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: it just goes to there's a there's a real problem 795 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,759 Speaker 1: here with them. And this is where I have to 796 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: think that the the what is it now? This is 797 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 1: the fourth year of the Trump administration, and there are 798 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people whose careers are built on information 799 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:14,879 Speaker 1: and writing and communicating and speaking, and they have been 800 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 1: on an unceasing mission to destroy this president. And they've 801 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 1: managed to create controversies, and they've managed to use circumstances 802 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 1: that were not dire to that end. I mean, they've 803 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:34,320 Speaker 1: effectively created a crisis mentality without their actually being a crisis. 804 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 1: They've done this with Russia collusion, They've done this with 805 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: the impeachment that now we're going to talk about things 806 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: that cost time and the response and things that made 807 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,239 Speaker 1: us miss don't ever forget that Democrats were impeaching this 808 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 1: president through January, when the first real reports of what 809 00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 1: was going on in China. The Democrats were busy with 810 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 1: a sham impeachment because Orange Man bad and they hate 811 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 1: him so much, and they're just angry little children about 812 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 1: the whole thing. That's what was going on, when yeah, 813 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 1: we could have been making maths, we could have been 814 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,600 Speaker 1: making ventilators also, though we have to remember, we didn't 815 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,439 Speaker 1: recognize because we're basing as the Chinese have been lying 816 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,719 Speaker 1: with this the whole time. Their numbers and I'm going 817 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 1: to speak more about China Day in a little bit, 818 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 1: but their numbers are much higher than they've been saying 819 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,799 Speaker 1: they are. They are RESPONSI we want to talk about 820 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 1: lies and people with blood on their hands. And the 821 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party has been appalling, absolutely appalling in all 822 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 1: of this. And now we find ourselves dealing with the 823 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 1: aftermath of oh, I shouldn't say the aftermath of that. 824 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 1: We're dealing with the consequences of that. So there's a 825 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 1: lot of there's a lot of moving pieces here. But 826 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 1: part of the problem that we've had and trying to 827 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 1: get I think the best information about this and to 828 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: be as nonpartisan as possible in the coverage of this 829 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 1: news event, is that there are I mean, there are 830 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:02,360 Speaker 1: there are liberals right now who are have big platforms, 831 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 1: who seem to report with some degree of satisfaction and 832 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:12,799 Speaker 1: perhaps even joy at the failure of hydroxy chloroquin to 833 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:17,040 Speaker 1: be the miracle cure that some of us, that almost 834 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 1: all of us, I should say, have been hoping for. 835 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 1: There's been a real rooting against anything that might make 836 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 1: Trump look better in this whole process, even with lives 837 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 1: and the balance, there are people in the medium and 838 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 1: I can tell you I could pull up the tweets, 839 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 1: I can show you who they are, and they vary. 840 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 1: Obviously hate absolutely hate this president to the point where 841 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 1: that hatred is more important to them than anything else. 842 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 1: And that's where that's where things stand right now, with 843 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: the way that the left and the media is approaching, 844 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 1: even the pandemic at this stage, when we are in 845 00:47:54,280 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: the really the most dangerous days of this where we're 846 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: about to see the real consequences of the spike. Hating 847 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 1: Trump from the media still seems to be for some 848 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 1: of them, not all of them. The supreme mission, not 849 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 1: helping the public understand this and not getting to a 850 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 1: better place. You're in the freedom heart. This is the 851 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Here's the thing. Wasn't he just 852 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 1: retreating about his ratings in the last forty eight hours 853 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,560 Speaker 1: while Americans are dying all over the place. You know, 854 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,720 Speaker 1: here's the thing about him. Narcissism is an incurable disorder. 855 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 1: He has shown that he is incapable of empathy, and 856 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 1: he will punish anyone who doesn't count out to him 857 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 1: and praise him. He's jealous of anyone who outshines him. 858 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 1: He horgs those press conferences and talks and talks without 859 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 1: a care that he's giving out false information. He doesn't 860 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,400 Speaker 1: take the blame for anything. He blames Obama for everything. 861 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,360 Speaker 1: People are dying all over the place. So I have 862 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:05,760 Speaker 1: very low expectations that he will change. Joy beiha should 863 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 1: be complaining about Trump in the aftermath of nuclear war. 864 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:12,799 Speaker 1: I mean, if we really if we went to war 865 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,520 Speaker 1: with China and there were nukes and it was like 866 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,279 Speaker 1: the Terminator movies, where you know, millions and millions of 867 00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,800 Speaker 1: US incinerator at once. Whatever. Joy Behar from the Beijar 868 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,799 Speaker 1: Bunker somewhere would still be doing nothing but complain about 869 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. But that that how much I'm pretty confident. 870 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:33,840 Speaker 1: I am almost impressed by how durable the media's anti 871 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,799 Speaker 1: Trump fixation has been out. I'm almost impressed by it, 872 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 1: you meaning that it seems like it wouldn't be possible 873 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:46,600 Speaker 1: to be so completely devoted to anti trump ism for 874 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,440 Speaker 1: so many years. In this way, not just as a 875 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 1: general concept, but as the first and most important part 876 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 1: of any conversation is this is an opportunity to bash Trump. 877 00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 1: You know, the weather is bad, This is an opportunity 878 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: to bash Trump. By the way, I have to tell 879 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 1: you this, I'm just I'm angry, Okay, I'm gonna say it. 880 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 1: I'm angry about the climate change crap that we've been 881 00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,840 Speaker 1: hearing about for years and years and years as this 882 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: existential threat and oh what are we going to do? 883 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:20,320 Speaker 1: And it's all a waste, it's dumb, and now we realize, wow, 884 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 1: we really would have been better off. Things would have 885 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 1: been better if, instead of having the international the global 886 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:35,600 Speaker 1: scientific community focus on this hoax of existential threat of 887 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: climate change, that we had focused on something like this, 888 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 1: which I have been I've said on this show people 889 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,239 Speaker 1: ask me, I mean I wish we could find I 890 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:45,799 Speaker 1: mean producer Mark. I don't want to give him like 891 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,640 Speaker 1: hours and hours and hours of extra work. But we 892 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,480 Speaker 1: went back. I think it was in July or August. No, no, 893 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 1: it would have been in September or October. Somebody asked 894 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,640 Speaker 1: me what really keeps me up at night? And we 895 00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,719 Speaker 1: were doing this during roll call, and I said, pandemic 896 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,760 Speaker 1: disease is really scary. Any biotic resistant bacteria is really scary. 897 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,720 Speaker 1: These are things that are written this is a virus, 898 00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,760 Speaker 1: but same idea, These are things that are really scary. 899 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 1: Climate change is not really scary. Climate change is fear 900 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:17,480 Speaker 1: mongering for people that need an existential purpose, generally because 901 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,400 Speaker 1: they're secularists who have rejected any notion of God or 902 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,759 Speaker 1: a deity. Barack Obama today speaking of a deity, the 903 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,720 Speaker 1: deity of the left, Barack Obama tweeted out this, We've 904 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:35,200 Speaker 1: all seen too terribly the consequences of those who denied 905 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 1: the warmings of a pandemic. We can't afford any more 906 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,840 Speaker 1: consequences of climate denial. All of us, especially young people, 907 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 1: have to demand better of our government at every level 908 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 1: and vote this fall. So shut down the whole economy. 909 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,600 Speaker 1: If you have any problem with that, you want old 910 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 1: people to die. That's now become the more or less 911 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,799 Speaker 1: the consensus opinion in the media. You know, if you're 912 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,239 Speaker 1: willing to take any addition risk, try to do what 913 00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 1: you can. No one says, stop finding the virus. You 914 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 1: want to take any additional risk, but to try to 915 00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,720 Speaker 1: get some of the economy going, you're a horrible person. 916 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,680 Speaker 1: So okay, that's where we are. But while that's going on, 917 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:19,800 Speaker 1: we also need to be lectured about climate change. They're 918 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 1: they're fanatics. I mean, this is a fanaticism. Who the 919 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,720 Speaker 1: blank gives a blank about climate change? Right? Barack Obama, 920 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,719 Speaker 1: with his eighty million Twitter followers or whatever it is, 921 00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,480 Speaker 1: one of the biggest Twitter followers in the world. Barack 922 00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,640 Speaker 1: Obama is still thinking about climate change. We're gonna stop 923 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,040 Speaker 1: the zero too. Let's come out of things. We gotta 924 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,120 Speaker 1: get the cows to stop doing the things that put 925 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:49,839 Speaker 1: the methode. Yeah, we're gonna do this thing. Another thing, 926 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 1: I used to have a really good Obama impersonation of 927 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,440 Speaker 1: mine scotten a little bit, a little bit weaker, But 928 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 1: it's because I haven't heard him as much of these days, 929 00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 1: I'll work on it. I'll do more impressions too. I'm 930 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 1: also going to have to just get more of the 931 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:02,759 Speaker 1: show where I just let it rip and loosen up 932 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:04,560 Speaker 1: and talk about whatever I feel like, even if it's 933 00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: not on the news of the day stuff, just because 934 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 1: I mean, how much can we all sort of sit around? 935 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:12,840 Speaker 1: I rely on you now to feel like I'm connected 936 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,360 Speaker 1: to humanity, Team Buck, you are my connection to humanity 937 00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,839 Speaker 1: on a daily basis. And so that's why the unit 938 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 1: I did this past weekend, I started the research and 939 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 1: producer Mark Brucer. Mark, didn't I send something you about 940 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:27,280 Speaker 1: the siege of Malta? You did? I did. I'm working 941 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 1: on it, guys, like I'm trying to do other things too, 942 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,839 Speaker 1: because I know we're going to get We're in quarantine 943 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:35,560 Speaker 1: for at least another month. We're not going to we're 944 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,400 Speaker 1: not going to be told that we could start to 945 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:41,240 Speaker 1: go outside more freely and start to go back to work. 946 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,319 Speaker 1: I mean, in my if you're asking me to guess 947 00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 1: until June, so that means which I would say on 948 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,760 Speaker 1: the WR Show WR Show, I think also on this show, 949 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:54,960 Speaker 1: I said the prucer Mark and I'll be drinking margaritas 950 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,960 Speaker 1: on the street in June. I think that's probably going 951 00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,719 Speaker 1: to end up being true, maybe late June. But I'm 952 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,399 Speaker 1: going to try to find other ways also to keep 953 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,759 Speaker 1: us all informed and entertain We can't just do too 954 00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,759 Speaker 1: much coronavirus talk. Thanks for listening to the bus sets 955 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,680 Speaker 1: and show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the 956 00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:18,680 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. I have said, 957 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,839 Speaker 1: I don't think that you should really listen to what 958 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,799 Speaker 1: he says. You should listen to what the experts say. 959 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,960 Speaker 1: I'm not actually sure, if you want to be honest, 960 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,480 Speaker 1: that we should carry that live. I think we should 961 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,960 Speaker 1: run snippets. I think we should do it afterwards and 962 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,239 Speaker 1: get the pertinent points to the American people because he's 963 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,759 Speaker 1: never ever going to tell you the truth. And guess 964 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,200 Speaker 1: what he's going to do if you ask a question 965 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,960 Speaker 1: that is a legitimate question, and if he doesn't like 966 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 1: the question, he is going to say, whether it's whether 967 00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,319 Speaker 1: you're being mean or not or whatever he wants to call, 968 00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,880 Speaker 1: he's going to say that is a mean and nasty question. Why, 969 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,440 Speaker 1: Because he wants his base to think that the media 970 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 1: is being mean to him and they're attacking him. It 971 00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,719 Speaker 1: is all a plot. It is all orchestrated. And if 972 00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:03,279 Speaker 1: you can't see it, I don't know. I don't know 973 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:08,480 Speaker 1: what you're looking at. So you know, it's obvious. It's 974 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:13,719 Speaker 1: transparent to me. This has become those press briefings have 975 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,600 Speaker 1: become his new apprentice. They become his new rallies, and 976 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,520 Speaker 1: he treats the press and the media as if he's 977 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,880 Speaker 1: talking to the people and his rallies. Don Lemon is 978 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 1: just delusional. Why is this now a bad thing? The 979 00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:34,760 Speaker 1: President shouldn't address the American people? Why is this the 980 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 1: the this is now rallies? I mean, oh, you know, 981 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 1: you know why they're upset. I mean, this is very 982 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:43,960 Speaker 1: clear if you look at the polling on this. Do 983 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,680 Speaker 1: you know why they're upset that the President of the 984 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,319 Speaker 1: United States is holding these press conference? I watched them 985 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 1: every single day. Okay, why is the president upset about now? 986 00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes I have to tape it because I got a 987 00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 1: de radio, but I watch it every day and overwhelmingly 988 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,480 Speaker 1: the information is worthwhile and good. You know. Deborah Deborah Burkes. 989 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,360 Speaker 1: Doctor Burkes really has a command of the facts in 990 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 1: the situation. It's not afraid to push back on nonsense. 991 00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,240 Speaker 1: Doctor Fauci, Hey, doctor Fauci went to Regis my high school. 992 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,360 Speaker 1: He's one of one of my guys. There's actually a 993 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,960 Speaker 1: great article in the Wall Street Journal about doctor Fauci 994 00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,520 Speaker 1: playing for the Regious Raiders, which is still a name 995 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,080 Speaker 1: I think you're allowed to have now. It's not an 996 00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,399 Speaker 1: offensive name, right, even though I think a raider isn't 997 00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: that somebody that like is a pirate and goes in pillages. 998 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 1: But anyway, he was a Regis Regious Raider back in 999 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,680 Speaker 1: the day. Went to my high school, and uh, you know, 1000 00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 1: Fauci's up there doing his thing, and you know they're 1001 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:42,319 Speaker 1: they're providing all this information, and you know that if 1002 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 1: they stop taking questions from the press, then we would 1003 00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,919 Speaker 1: be told that this is you know, this is tyranny, 1004 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,120 Speaker 1: this is the propaganda machine of the Third Reich. This 1005 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,880 Speaker 1: is I mean, they'd say crazy stuff. I mean, they 1006 00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,440 Speaker 1: would say insane stuff. I would also note that the 1007 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,520 Speaker 1: we've been told for three years that Trump is a tyrant. 1008 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,759 Speaker 1: He hasn't done anything tyrannical. He's winning in court every 1009 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,840 Speaker 1: time they actually take him to court. Whenever these federal 1010 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:11,160 Speaker 1: judges they come up with wrong decisions, and then what 1011 00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,319 Speaker 1: we see is the president of the United States in 1012 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 1: this case, not going all out using all of the 1013 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,440 Speaker 1: power to disposal at least not in a way that's 1014 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:24,320 Speaker 1: sufficient for the live so essentially not taking the opportunity 1015 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,040 Speaker 1: to be more tyrannical. Do you think they have any 1016 00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,840 Speaker 1: change in assessment of what they think of the president 1017 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:31,960 Speaker 1: as a result of this now? Of course not. But 1018 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:36,840 Speaker 1: the reason, the reason that they don't like the president 1019 00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 1: holding these press conferences every day is because he is 1020 00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 1: doing well with the American people based on the polls. 1021 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:51,680 Speaker 1: They have been waiting for this moment. They have manufactured 1022 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:55,160 Speaker 1: crises for three years. Now this is a real crisis. 1023 00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 1: We are in a real crisis. They have manufactured crises 1024 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 1: for three years, and now in this moment, we have 1025 00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:09,120 Speaker 1: something that is of the gravity and seriousness that could 1026 00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,960 Speaker 1: effectively end to presidency, meaning that it would stop him 1027 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,560 Speaker 1: from being reelected. It would be the disaster that could 1028 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:23,920 Speaker 1: change the course of US presidential history. And they want 1029 00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 1: this to be that moment. We know this, but they 1030 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,520 Speaker 1: want this to be Donald Trump finally loses. For years, 1031 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,840 Speaker 1: he's just taken all the incoming on all this Russia crap. 1032 00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:35,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't even remember all that there, the 1033 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,720 Speaker 1: twenty fifth Amendment and the you know Trump is crazy, 1034 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,000 Speaker 1: Trump's a rapist, Trump cheated, Trump lied, Trump campaign fine, 1035 00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,840 Speaker 1: I mean the amount of stuff they threw this president, 1036 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,520 Speaker 1: it's actually dizzying. I mean, you can't even keep up 1037 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:52,760 Speaker 1: with it. And now a virus comes out. And also 1038 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,360 Speaker 1: why do you look at so some of the it's 1039 00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,120 Speaker 1: really you know, lives have been coming after me a 1040 00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,200 Speaker 1: lot lately, just because I'm trying to ask questions. I 1041 00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 1: want what's best for the country. I want what's best 1042 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,760 Speaker 1: for the maximum number from from policy perspective, what's best 1043 00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:06,360 Speaker 1: for the maximum number of the American people. And I 1044 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,080 Speaker 1: also think that I have an obligation to share the 1045 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 1: truth as I see it and test that truth in 1046 00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,800 Speaker 1: the marketplace of ideas, even when sometimes it's the truth 1047 00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 1: that people don't necessarily want to hear, or that's not 1048 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,200 Speaker 1: all that popular, or that can get me in a 1049 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,520 Speaker 1: little bit of trouble. I think the truth really matters, 1050 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:25,000 Speaker 1: and we are in very difficult times that require very 1051 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,960 Speaker 1: tough decision making. But on the issue of China, which 1052 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:30,760 Speaker 1: I know I keep saying I'll get you, and I will, 1053 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:35,600 Speaker 1: why is it so Why do they get so enraged 1054 00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:40,320 Speaker 1: when you bring up that the Chinese government was studying 1055 00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:47,120 Speaker 1: very dangerous viruses near the Wuhan market where this first 1056 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,760 Speaker 1: showed up. And the Chinese government has and we know 1057 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,600 Speaker 1: this as a matter of fact, lost viruses from that 1058 00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,520 Speaker 1: institute in the past. But if you even say, I'm 1059 00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,760 Speaker 1: not saying this happen, I'm just saying I think this 1060 00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:02,360 Speaker 1: is worthy of more investigation. You're you're a conspiracy theorist. Really, 1061 01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 1: this from people who overwhelmingly believe at the president was 1062 01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,480 Speaker 1: able to collude with Russia, leave no trace, leave no 1063 01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:13,520 Speaker 1: actual actual evidence of collusion with Russia, despite how that's 1064 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,120 Speaker 1: basically impossible. But oh yes, no, he stole the election 1065 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:21,720 Speaker 1: included with Russia. That's not a conspiracy theory. But microscopic 1066 01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 1: viral particles getting out of a facility that is studying viruses. 1067 01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,919 Speaker 1: I mean, we're not being told of This thing may 1068 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:34,360 Speaker 1: transmit up to twenty feet okay twenty feet with coughs 1069 01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 1: or with sneezes, and is three times as infectious as 1070 01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,680 Speaker 1: the flu. We have no built in immunity against it, 1071 01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:44,880 Speaker 1: and it's at least ten x as deadly as the flu. 1072 01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:48,800 Speaker 1: And because of the incubation periods. It's incredibly hard to control. 1073 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,840 Speaker 1: The Chinese claim they have it under control some by 1074 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,640 Speaker 1: some miracle, which I think is almost certainly a huge lie. 1075 01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:59,200 Speaker 1: But this would not be if you were engineering a 1076 01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:04,320 Speaker 1: virus to bring down a country, wouldn't this be a 1077 01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 1: pretty good way to start. Wouldn't this be pretty close? 1078 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:09,360 Speaker 1: Remember if you might say, oh, no, buck, it would 1079 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,280 Speaker 1: you'd want to hire. You'd want to hire a fatality 1080 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,520 Speaker 1: rate if you were engineering a virus as a weapon. 1081 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,680 Speaker 1: To that, I'd say, well, that's actually not really true, 1082 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:25,000 Speaker 1: because if the virus kills the host too quickly, it 1083 01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:29,440 Speaker 1: dramatically drops off the transmissibility of that virus. So you 1084 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,560 Speaker 1: want something if you're creating a weapon, which is what 1085 01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 1: we're talking about here, if you're creating a biological weapon, 1086 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,280 Speaker 1: you would want a virus that is very easily spread, 1087 01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,160 Speaker 1: very hard for a person to know that they have, 1088 01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,760 Speaker 1: and then has a high fatality. Now this could you 1089 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 1: would say the buck, Well, the fatality rate could be 1090 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,000 Speaker 1: orders of magnitude higer than what this is if it 1091 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 1: were weaponized. Okay, but maybe maybe the people. Again, this 1092 01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,480 Speaker 1: is all theory. I have no fact. I'm just working 1093 01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:57,640 Speaker 1: this out as we talk about this, maybe the people 1094 01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:00,640 Speaker 1: that were doing research on this virus and yet figured 1095 01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:04,240 Speaker 1: out how to elevate. Remember you're talking about these timetables 1096 01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 1: of transmission and mortality, and they knew that this virus, 1097 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:13,160 Speaker 1: this strain of this virus would be something that was 1098 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,360 Speaker 1: very very contagious and would spread incredibly rapidly and would 1099 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,720 Speaker 1: be devastating to people in certain categories, right, I mean, 1100 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 1: but they weren't sure yet how to bring down that 1101 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,280 Speaker 1: high risk, high risk pool. Remember, the Spanish fool of 1102 01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,440 Speaker 1: nineteen eighteen was very high risk for people in their 1103 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:33,960 Speaker 1: twenties and thirties, and there's still some debate over really 1104 01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:38,600 Speaker 1: why that was. But the Spanish flu really crushed people 1105 01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:42,800 Speaker 1: in their twenties and thirties more than anybody else, well 1106 01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 1: other than people who are already medically at high risk, 1107 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:51,080 Speaker 1: but in terms of age category. So anyway, I'm just 1108 01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm theorizing here just because I find it hard to 1109 01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:59,280 Speaker 1: believe that this is all just Look, there's some levels 1110 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,080 Speaker 1: that I know are going to get more answers that'll 1111 01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:04,320 Speaker 1: be troubling about what the Chinese response to this. We 1112 01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:06,320 Speaker 1: the Chinese are lying. The Chinese say they have no 1113 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 1: new cases of this. What how's it? How is how's that? 1114 01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,760 Speaker 1: Even anyone taking that seriously? Oh? Our media takes it seriously. Well, 1115 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,880 Speaker 1: we'll get into that, but I just have to keep 1116 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,800 Speaker 1: in mind one of my concerns here as as we 1117 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,480 Speaker 1: shut down the economy, which I know you're not. We're 1118 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:22,960 Speaker 1: not allowed to talk about anymore. If you shut down 1119 01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,680 Speaker 1: the economy, is shut down the economy or else you're 1120 01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:29,600 Speaker 1: you're a mass murder? Or is really the choice now? Um, 1121 01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,800 Speaker 1: it's not try to open up the economy while still 1122 01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,000 Speaker 1: putting a lot of protective measures in place and doing 1123 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,520 Speaker 1: what's necessary to help, you know, and shut down the 1124 01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,880 Speaker 1: economy entirely in New York, I get it. A whole country. 1125 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,200 Speaker 1: There's not even a discussion about whether we could have 1126 01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:47,040 Speaker 1: more of an open economy in other parts and other states. 1127 01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,240 Speaker 1: And no, okay, all right, this is the course that 1128 01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,560 Speaker 1: you know, maximum life saving, this is what this is 1129 01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:54,760 Speaker 1: what is required for that you know, we're we're just 1130 01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:58,200 Speaker 1: being told that your choice is shut down everything or 1131 01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,640 Speaker 1: else mass murder that you that you're responsible for if 1132 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 1: the economy opens back up. Okay, if nothing else, I 1133 01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 1: aspire to be I try to be an ethical and 1134 01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:13,280 Speaker 1: fair minded, but an ethical person. So that's where this is. Well, 1135 01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,560 Speaker 1: we'll get back into China. I just on this uh 1136 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,360 Speaker 1: press conference thing. It's so obvious, it's so apparent that 1137 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,240 Speaker 1: they don't like that Trump is doing well with the 1138 01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,480 Speaker 1: American people, and that they keep asking him questions that 1139 01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,800 Speaker 1: don't do anything to help with our understanding of coronavirus. 1140 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 1: Right now, Chris Hayes, who also was over at MSNBC, 1141 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:40,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he's saying that, yeah, we need to stop 1142 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:44,000 Speaker 1: carrying these press conferences play fourteen. Yeah, that's why he's 1143 01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,280 Speaker 1: bragging about the ratings. It's obviously above my pay grade. 1144 01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,320 Speaker 1: I don't make the call, but we take him or not. 1145 01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:50,880 Speaker 1: But it seems crazy to me that everyone's still taking 1146 01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,120 Speaker 1: them when you got the my pillow guy getting up 1147 01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:58,160 Speaker 1: there talking about reading the Bible. Wow, taking taking shots 1148 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,280 Speaker 1: at the my pillow guy. I just whatever to recall 1149 01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:03,920 Speaker 1: that the same libs that are saying everyone shut down 1150 01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:07,000 Speaker 1: in place. And if you have any questions about the 1151 01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 1: small businesses being destroyed or anything else, or any if 1152 01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,520 Speaker 1: you want to have any kind of discussion about different 1153 01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:15,400 Speaker 1: areas taking different precautions, you're a horrible person who wants 1154 01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,600 Speaker 1: old people to die, that's the But Michael Lindell steps 1155 01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:21,680 Speaker 1: up to make masks to save people, to save lives, 1156 01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:24,960 Speaker 1: and they're making fun of him, almost like it's really 1157 01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 1: not about ethics and morality for these people. It's just 1158 01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,160 Speaker 1: virtue signaling and attacking, having a weapon to attack the 1159 01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,480 Speaker 1: other side. Oh. This is also the same Left that 1160 01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,240 Speaker 1: wants to make sure that planned parentered clinics are reporting 1161 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 1: babies during this whole crisis, no let up in that. 1162 01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 1: They've been very clear there will not be they'll stop 1163 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:46,080 Speaker 1: all other health services, but that because that's for them 1164 01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:50,200 Speaker 1: the most essential thing that they do. Now. The Democratic 1165 01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,400 Speaker 1: Party is the party of death, a advocate for openly 1166 01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:56,200 Speaker 1: and in some cases celebrate the murder of unborn infants 1167 01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,200 Speaker 1: on a daily basis. But they will wag fingers at 1168 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,600 Speaker 1: the rest of us and that anybody who, as I've said, 1169 01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:05,360 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm trying to make sure, as somebody who 1170 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,400 Speaker 1: has a voice in the public arena, that we're doing 1171 01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:10,040 Speaker 1: the smartest things for the most people and for this country. 1172 01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:14,720 Speaker 1: And the President addressing the American people, I mean, he's 1173 01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:16,520 Speaker 1: trying to do that, and he's trying to do that 1174 01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,400 Speaker 1: as well. As trying to provide information and backrunners leadership, 1175 01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:22,120 Speaker 1: and they don't want him to be able to do 1176 01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,680 Speaker 1: this anymore, or they don't want to give him that platform. 1177 01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,440 Speaker 1: Because the more the American people see what the President 1178 01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:30,400 Speaker 1: is really doing and understand his thinking, the more they 1179 01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,640 Speaker 1: tend to trust him and like him and support him 1180 01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:37,080 Speaker 1: in this fight. And that is that is unacceptable to 1181 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:43,479 Speaker 1: the progressive left. Unacceptable. You're in the freedom hunt. This 1182 01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:50,240 Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. And in order to 1183 01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,840 Speaker 1: avoid that those very high numbers, we have to do 1184 01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:56,560 Speaker 1: at least several things. One, we have to depend on 1185 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,240 Speaker 1: what the president is going to do right now. And 1186 01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:03,080 Speaker 1: first of all, he has to tell wait till the 1187 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:07,240 Speaker 1: cases before anything happens. Look, the whole idea is he's 1188 01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,880 Speaker 1: got to get him place things that were shortages of 1189 01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:17,400 Speaker 1: what mur mur, you know, gurgling gurgen and Biden are 1190 01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 1: starting to sound more and more soumilar. You are a 1191 01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,680 Speaker 1: whole burdened thing and am burning the hand is worth 1192 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,560 Speaker 1: the barn door with the horses that left? And what 1193 01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,880 Speaker 1: is he talking about? And I bring this up not 1194 01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:31,640 Speaker 1: not to be mean, although it's kind of funny to 1195 01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:34,040 Speaker 1: make fun of Biden, sometimes. But I bring it up 1196 01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,200 Speaker 1: because we are told on a regular basis every day 1197 01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:39,800 Speaker 1: by the same media that thinks that Trump is hitler 1198 01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:42,720 Speaker 1: and the worst person ever. We are told every day 1199 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:46,280 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is terrible at this. Joe Biden would 1200 01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:50,160 Speaker 1: be so much better based on what Trump has the 1201 01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:52,320 Speaker 1: experts at the CDC, the NIH up there at the 1202 01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:58,440 Speaker 1: press conferences, he he shifted. Let's understand this. Two weeks ago, 1203 01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,760 Speaker 1: we were being told, you know, we made we might 1204 01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:02,480 Speaker 1: start open up. It's going to be tough, and there 1205 01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:05,760 Speaker 1: might be some you know, there might be some stop 1206 01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:07,360 Speaker 1: and start here with it, but we're going to try 1207 01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:08,960 Speaker 1: to open up for business a little bit a couple 1208 01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,360 Speaker 1: of weeks here. Once we had a five number, fifteen days, 1209 01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 1: and then it was going to be we open up. 1210 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:17,160 Speaker 1: Trump clearly was convinced by the experts around him, Nope, 1211 01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 1: can't do that, too dangerous economy shutdown another thirty now, 1212 01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:24,680 Speaker 1: thirty days from now, another fifteen days beyond the No. 1213 01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:28,160 Speaker 1: I think it'll actually end up being six weeks when 1214 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,920 Speaker 1: you add it all in, So a six week shutdown 1215 01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:34,640 Speaker 1: is really what we're in for, right, A six weeks shutdown? Okay, 1216 01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,160 Speaker 1: I think my math is right on that it's not 1217 01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,680 Speaker 1: as bad as the five hundred billion dollars equals or 1218 01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,559 Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars equals a million dollars for every American, 1219 01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,799 Speaker 1: or whatever it was. That was funny, that was good times. 1220 01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:53,360 Speaker 1: But here we are folks looking at what the Biden 1221 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:57,920 Speaker 1: administration would be like. And everyone understands this that this 1222 01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,320 Speaker 1: guy's not up for it, that he's not going to 1223 01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 1: be able to do this, some fantastic job that Trump, 1224 01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,360 Speaker 1: you know, has been unable to accomplish thus far. But 1225 01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,840 Speaker 1: the media is so dishonest that we are going to 1226 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:14,360 Speaker 1: be the storyline you're told will be that, however, many 1227 01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,960 Speaker 1: people die from this disease. However many people die from 1228 01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,599 Speaker 1: this disease, it would have been a whole lot less 1229 01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:23,760 Speaker 1: if Biden had been present. That is what they will 1230 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,000 Speaker 1: tell you, even though it sounds like the guy doesn't 1231 01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,400 Speaker 1: know where he is half the time, even though he 1232 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:30,960 Speaker 1: has lied a lot. And I know they always say, well, 1233 01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:34,040 Speaker 1: Trump lies, Trump is a salesman who bs is a 1234 01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,720 Speaker 1: lot Trump. I don't see Trump lying about things that 1235 01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:44,720 Speaker 1: matter to you and me. Biden seems to want to 1236 01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:49,160 Speaker 1: constantly pretend that he's a much smarter, more wise individual 1237 01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:50,920 Speaker 1: than he is, that's really been for his whole career. 1238 01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,560 Speaker 1: There's some deep intellectual in securities I think there. But nonetheless, 1239 01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:58,439 Speaker 1: he would have saved us. Trump can't save us. That's 1240 01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,280 Speaker 1: going to be the story that you're told. And I 1241 01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:04,640 Speaker 1: just have to remind everybody that that is that's just 1242 01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:10,559 Speaker 1: an absurdity. There's no rational reason to believe that. But 1243 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,000 Speaker 1: they must believe it because otherwise they're stuck with Trump 1244 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,000 Speaker 1: for another four years. And they know this, and given 1245 01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,200 Speaker 1: the way the press conferences are going over, given how 1246 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:23,240 Speaker 1: strongly the American people are reacting to Donald Trump, and 1247 01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,719 Speaker 1: you know, sixty percent approval in some of the polls. 1248 01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,600 Speaker 1: Sixty percent. I mean, if Trump were to have a 1249 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,679 Speaker 1: clear fifty two percent of the electorate, fifty one percent 1250 01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:35,120 Speaker 1: of the electorate supporting him, he wins, right, sixty percent 1251 01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,040 Speaker 1: approval on this issue. No, that's not the same as 1252 01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:40,400 Speaker 1: saying they're all going to vote for him. But Democrats 1253 01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:43,680 Speaker 1: are worried about this. What if Trump presided over just 1254 01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,479 Speaker 1: just as food for thought and something positive here, I'm 1255 01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,240 Speaker 1: going to bring you the positive too, right, it can't 1256 01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:50,360 Speaker 1: just be all I can't leave all the positive. Your 1257 01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:54,160 Speaker 1: producer Mark to cheer you up. What if Trump managed 1258 01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,960 Speaker 1: to have three great years, faced a true crisis unlike 1259 01:10:56,960 --> 01:11:01,240 Speaker 1: anything we've seen in generations, and brings out of it 1260 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,639 Speaker 1: by election time. What do you think libs will do? Then? 1261 01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:08,560 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the bus sets and show podcasts. 1262 01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:12,400 Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or 1263 01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:16,200 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. President Trump and I have 1264 01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:18,519 Speaker 1: been committed to making sure that we had the best 1265 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:22,320 Speaker 1: data available. When you hear doctors Fauci and Burkes talk 1266 01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:25,960 Speaker 1: about risk, talk about fatalities, trying to think about how 1267 01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:28,759 Speaker 1: to model, what they need is data. They need data 1268 01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,280 Speaker 1: from Italy, they need data from China, they need data 1269 01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:34,000 Speaker 1: from Iran. How we need every country to step up 1270 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,800 Speaker 1: and pride accurate, transparent information. If we can't have that, 1271 01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,880 Speaker 1: if we have disinformation instead, how there are more lives 1272 01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,439 Speaker 1: that will be at risk, not only today but in 1273 01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,200 Speaker 1: the weeks ahead as we battle this enormous challenge. We've 1274 01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:48,800 Speaker 1: asked every country to step up, tell us what they 1275 01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:51,599 Speaker 1: know so that the world can learn. America will then 1276 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:53,920 Speaker 1: turn around. We will share the information we get, and 1277 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,200 Speaker 1: we'll keep people safe, not only here in the United States, 1278 01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,240 Speaker 1: but all across the world. One of the huge problems 1279 01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:05,080 Speaker 1: here has been the need or the inclination to make 1280 01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:11,880 Speaker 1: really sweeping policy judgments early on based on very bad data. 1281 01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:13,760 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that there has really been an 1282 01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:17,040 Speaker 1: answer to this, but the Chinese have been lying about 1283 01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,439 Speaker 1: this from the beginning. The Chinese are now putting out 1284 01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:25,559 Speaker 1: information that no honest person thinks is honest. Our media, 1285 01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:28,240 Speaker 1: on the other hand, seems to think of itself not 1286 01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:32,000 Speaker 1: just as the propaganda arm of the DNC, but increasingly 1287 01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,559 Speaker 1: the propaganda arm of the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party. 1288 01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:39,360 Speaker 1: Here is Congressman Matt Gates speaking to this issue play eight. 1289 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:42,719 Speaker 1: We saw the Democratic Party over hype the Russia threat. 1290 01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:46,160 Speaker 1: Now many are cozying up to China. Today's Democrats have 1291 01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:49,599 Speaker 1: become the pro China Party. I would suggest that China 1292 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:53,040 Speaker 1: doesn't need an apology from Seth Moulton or access to 1293 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,920 Speaker 1: bailouts through the Economic Relief Package, which by the way, 1294 01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:59,120 Speaker 1: many Chinese controlled companies are going to be able to 1295 01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,479 Speaker 1: get and they start only don't need another bite at 1296 01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 1: the supply chain. It was just this weekend that the 1297 01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:08,719 Speaker 1: propaganda arm of the Chinese government was bragging that their 1298 01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:13,840 Speaker 1: genetics experts had gotten fast track approval from our FDA 1299 01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,840 Speaker 1: to send over coronavirus kits. So we need to do 1300 01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:20,080 Speaker 1: a lot more to redomesticate that. I would suggest China 1301 01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:24,479 Speaker 1: needs a reckoning, not an apology. Gates is right, But 1302 01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:28,160 Speaker 1: there's also the civilizational shift here. And I know this 1303 01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:33,360 Speaker 1: sounds maybe esoteric, or this sounds like a conversation for 1304 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 1: some other time, some other era. China could emerge from 1305 01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:40,080 Speaker 1: this depending on what happens with our economy. And look, 1306 01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:43,880 Speaker 1: I know I've been told that the economy doesn't matter. 1307 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 1: Economy doesn't matter, doesn't matter what happens to it in 1308 01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:50,360 Speaker 1: the next sixty days, the next ninety days, no talking 1309 01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:53,080 Speaker 1: about it. We're fine, the government says, it's fine. We're 1310 01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:57,439 Speaker 1: all fighting against the virus. That's it. That's it. Maximum lockdown. 1311 01:13:57,880 --> 01:13:59,880 Speaker 1: If you don't agree with that, you're a horrible person. 1312 01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,760 Speaker 1: All right, this is where we are. So and that 1313 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,000 Speaker 1: doesn't mean no lockdown, right, I mean, there could be 1314 01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,439 Speaker 1: other ways to try and approach this, but no, no 1315 01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,519 Speaker 1: maximum lockdown, or you're a terrible person. Everywhere. By the way, 1316 01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,120 Speaker 1: New York, Yes, maximum lockdown, absolutely, no question. I can't 1317 01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:17,640 Speaker 1: imagine anything else right now, Montana, should that be in 1318 01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:20,559 Speaker 1: lockdown too? Or where where else? Should where else should 1319 01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:22,439 Speaker 1: they be on a state of you know, stay at home. 1320 01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:24,960 Speaker 1: I know not every state is currently on lockdown, but 1321 01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:28,320 Speaker 1: increasingly that's where we are heading. And there are some 1322 01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:33,479 Speaker 1: states that are getting more and more cases. And trust me, 1323 01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:35,880 Speaker 1: they're going to be in a lockdown scenario too, very 1324 01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:39,760 Speaker 1: very soon here if they're not already. So this is now, 1325 01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,040 Speaker 1: this is but let me just put that aside and 1326 01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,519 Speaker 1: put that. I keep returning this because I'm a little 1327 01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:48,559 Speaker 1: bit surprised at how quickly neither the constitution nor the 1328 01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:53,559 Speaker 1: economy is worthy of discussion. In so many quarters, we 1329 01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:55,840 Speaker 1: are being told the government, the government that was wrong 1330 01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,000 Speaker 1: in its preparation for this, wrong about the severity of 1331 01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:01,519 Speaker 1: this virus, wrong, wrong, wrong, is now going to put 1332 01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:05,599 Speaker 1: the economy in the deep freeze for sixty maybe ninety days, 1333 01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,960 Speaker 1: maybe longer, and just thought out like a like a 1334 01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,679 Speaker 1: hamburger that you want to eat tomorrow, right, that that's 1335 01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:14,880 Speaker 1: the plan. And if you have any concern about that, 1336 01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:17,040 Speaker 1: you're a bad person that wants old people to die. 1337 01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:21,960 Speaker 1: This is what you're this is what you'll be told. Okay, well, yeah, 1338 01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:23,800 Speaker 1: that's what. So let's you know, we're we're all in 1339 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,080 Speaker 1: on just doing what we're told now. We're all in 1340 01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:30,240 Speaker 1: on not questioning authority and just going forward with everything. 1341 01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,639 Speaker 1: You know. I'm washing my hands one hundred times a day. 1342 01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:34,160 Speaker 1: I'm on lockdown here in New York. I've been in 1343 01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,120 Speaker 1: quarantined for two weeks. I'm not a I'm not a 1344 01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:39,719 Speaker 1: crazy person. I just feel like open discussion about what's working, 1345 01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,639 Speaker 1: what's not, what's worthwhile, what's not is probably a good thing. 1346 01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,599 Speaker 1: But instead we're just told do as you're told now, 1347 01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,920 Speaker 1: and we are all we are all right now. When 1348 01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:50,439 Speaker 1: I say all, a lot of you are like buck, 1349 01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm not there. But we're increasingly in as a nation. 1350 01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:57,760 Speaker 1: We're just in obey mode because we're scared. Understandably we aren't. 1351 01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,760 Speaker 1: We are scared. Right now we are being told to 1352 01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:06,280 Speaker 1: obey or else, and the force that is backing up 1353 01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,080 Speaker 1: all of these demands is going to increasingly be deployed 1354 01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:12,320 Speaker 1: and used. But let's not worry about that right now. 1355 01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:15,639 Speaker 1: Let's just everyone stay home for as long as it takes. 1356 01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:21,080 Speaker 1: As long as it takes. Okay, So what does that 1357 01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:24,720 Speaker 1: mean for the long term prospect of our struggle with 1358 01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:29,120 Speaker 1: China for hegemon status, which we have had since the 1359 01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,920 Speaker 1: fall of a Silvia Union. Now for really my entire 1360 01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:36,360 Speaker 1: adult my entire life beyond maybe you know, we're being 1361 01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:39,160 Speaker 1: a very very young child. So we have been the 1362 01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:43,400 Speaker 1: hegemon here for thirty years. It's been thirty years of 1363 01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:46,240 Speaker 1: America as a power that nobody else could even begin 1364 01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:50,000 Speaker 1: to compare with. Do we come out of this at 1365 01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:53,559 Speaker 1: least still ahead of China, or do we come out 1366 01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,639 Speaker 1: of this with China perhaps ahead of us, or we're 1367 01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:59,840 Speaker 1: at relative parody. I think that must be considered an 1368 01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:03,320 Speaker 1: all this process. I read an article this morning about 1369 01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,800 Speaker 1: the possibility of the end of the US US dollar 1370 01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:08,559 Speaker 1: as a reserve currency and what that would mean for 1371 01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:12,400 Speaker 1: international transactions for US wealth. This is the kind of 1372 01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:16,200 Speaker 1: global incident that could lead to that. In fact, the 1373 01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:18,160 Speaker 1: analysis that I read, and it wasn't in some I 1374 01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:21,760 Speaker 1: think it was in Bloomberg, actually was that this is 1375 01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:25,000 Speaker 1: a Frans Ferdinand moment, that this is something that will 1376 01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:27,840 Speaker 1: change everything, and we don't yet recognize the full ramifications. 1377 01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:32,400 Speaker 1: I would change everything economically is talking about why why 1378 01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:34,519 Speaker 1: will we have the reserve currency after this? We're twenty 1379 01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:37,200 Speaker 1: two trillion dollars in debt, soon to be twenty four. 1380 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:41,640 Speaker 1: Soon after that probably could be twenty six. We're going 1381 01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,320 Speaker 1: to be a reserve currency forever with that rate of 1382 01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:47,519 Speaker 1: debt and that rate of spending. Okay, great, you know 1383 01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:49,920 Speaker 1: that's what we'll be. That's what I'm told, and that's 1384 01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:56,400 Speaker 1: where we are. Okay. Well, the Chinese are viewing this 1385 01:17:56,479 --> 01:18:00,759 Speaker 1: as an opportunity to rewrite the history of what's happened, 1386 01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:02,920 Speaker 1: that's for sure. They don't want this to be on them. 1387 01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,880 Speaker 1: They want this to be on us. And the Chinese 1388 01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:11,360 Speaker 1: government's dishonesty has cost trillions of dollars of wealth from 1389 01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:15,519 Speaker 1: its rivals because they tried to hide this because they 1390 01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:18,840 Speaker 1: knew it would be a threat to their control. And 1391 01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:23,640 Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party is just built on control and force. Right, 1392 01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:27,000 Speaker 1: there's no elections, we know this. It's an autocracy. And 1393 01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:32,080 Speaker 1: instead of facing up to what happened here, they decided 1394 01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:35,320 Speaker 1: to try to bury it. And there are some very 1395 01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,960 Speaker 1: clear parallels. If you've seen that I mentioned it yesterday, 1396 01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:44,880 Speaker 1: if you've seen that show, that show Chernobyl, where you 1397 01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:48,600 Speaker 1: have all these bureaucrats, these true apparatchicks, right, these bureaucrats 1398 01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:51,320 Speaker 1: that work for the apparatus of the Soviet Union, and 1399 01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:53,400 Speaker 1: no one wants to be the one delivering bad To 1400 01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:56,120 Speaker 1: deliver bad news is to be the person that's the 1401 01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:58,600 Speaker 1: bad guy. No one wants to deliver bad news. So 1402 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:00,720 Speaker 1: the Chinese, because they had had these other problems in 1403 01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:04,960 Speaker 1: the past with of virus airborne viruses spreading. We know 1404 01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:07,320 Speaker 1: about this, whether it's H one, N one or stars. 1405 01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:14,000 Speaker 1: They set up a reporting system, and the reporting system 1406 01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:16,720 Speaker 1: was supposed to be any cases of this go immediately 1407 01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:19,559 Speaker 1: to Beijing, the central government, so that they can clamp 1408 01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:23,200 Speaker 1: down on an outbreak very very quickly, and that's the 1409 01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,679 Speaker 1: end of it. Right then, then you'll be the outbreak 1410 01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,280 Speaker 1: will be finished. They'll they'll stamp it out right away. 1411 01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,920 Speaker 1: Guess what I end up happening. People didn't want to 1412 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,160 Speaker 1: share the data. People kept the data out of the system. 1413 01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:37,800 Speaker 1: People that saw the data didn't want to report to 1414 01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:44,040 Speaker 1: their superiors. Nobody wanted to present bad news. Bad news 1415 01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:47,000 Speaker 1: when there's no accountability, and they're more importantly in a 1416 01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:49,759 Speaker 1: lot of ways, no ethics in a government system. People 1417 01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 1: don't feel that they have a mission beyond the service 1418 01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:56,840 Speaker 1: of the system. When that's the case, then people will 1419 01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,840 Speaker 1: do exactly what we saw in China, which is they'll 1420 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:04,840 Speaker 1: be a sort of cover up by the collective. It's 1421 01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:06,960 Speaker 1: not just that one person said cover this up. It's 1422 01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:08,560 Speaker 1: that everybody along the way. I was like, ooh, I 1423 01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:10,240 Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to be the one 1424 01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,519 Speaker 1: that puts in the system that this happened. Let's let 1425 01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,439 Speaker 1: somebody else do. Let's just push this aside for now. 1426 01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:17,960 Speaker 1: It'll go away, It'll blow over. Now here we are, 1427 01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I am sitting in lockdown right now in 1428 01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:24,760 Speaker 1: New York City, worried about my family members, worried about 1429 01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,040 Speaker 1: my friends, worried about people that I know who are 1430 01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:29,240 Speaker 1: treating this virus, and we're on the front lines. I'm 1431 01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:32,640 Speaker 1: sitting here right now thinking about all of that, and 1432 01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:36,840 Speaker 1: worried about my fellow Americans because of decisions made by 1433 01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:41,680 Speaker 1: functionaries in the Chinese Communist Party thousands and thousands and 1434 01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:47,759 Speaker 1: thousands of miles away. Welcome to globalization two point zero, everybody. 1435 01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:50,280 Speaker 1: Even this is the part of it that, oh, oh 1436 01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:52,800 Speaker 1: my gosh, that discussion, by the way, Oh, when when 1437 01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:56,600 Speaker 1: we're finally able to have political discussions without fear of 1438 01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:59,479 Speaker 1: just being shouted down for taking away the attention from 1439 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:03,360 Speaker 1: you know, saving saving our grandparents. But it's not just 1440 01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:05,960 Speaker 1: our grandparents, as we know, it's a lot of people 1441 01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:10,519 Speaker 1: that are younger, you know, and from people my age. 1442 01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:14,519 Speaker 1: My parents fall into the higher higher age demographic. Here, 1443 01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,320 Speaker 1: a lot of you listening your parents or you yourselves, 1444 01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:20,760 Speaker 1: or the higher age demographic. But it's dangerous. This thing 1445 01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,400 Speaker 1: is dangerous down to people in their fifties and their forties, 1446 01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:26,439 Speaker 1: some cases in their thirties and twenties, but those I 1447 01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:28,719 Speaker 1: think are honestly, I think that those cases are singled 1448 01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:30,760 Speaker 1: out in a way that's unhelpful by the media because 1449 01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,800 Speaker 1: it's really thirties and forties. There's some bad stuff that 1450 01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:36,080 Speaker 1: happens to people with this, no question, especially if you 1451 01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:39,120 Speaker 1: have other But once you get into your fifties your sixties, 1452 01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:44,720 Speaker 1: it can be really, really dangerous, and you know, at 1453 01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:46,280 Speaker 1: some point in the future we'll be able to have 1454 01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:50,040 Speaker 1: conversations about other things without the constant moral blackmail. If 1455 01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:53,240 Speaker 1: you're taking your eye off the fight against the virus here, no, 1456 01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:54,800 Speaker 1: I just think we have an all of the above 1457 01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:57,800 Speaker 1: approach for how do we defeat a virus while also 1458 01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:01,760 Speaker 1: while also keeping America as strong as possible and in 1459 01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:05,120 Speaker 1: the best place possible to defend its interests it's people 1460 01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:12,360 Speaker 1: and create freedom and prosperity for future generations. But the yeah, 1461 01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:15,439 Speaker 1: the reporting system in the Chinese Communist Party failed. The 1462 01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,680 Speaker 1: propaganda where they're lying about it saying that America created it. 1463 01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:22,000 Speaker 1: That's not something that's just a little incident here or there. 1464 01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:25,639 Speaker 1: There's a real effort underway to do that. The sending 1465 01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:29,160 Speaker 1: of equipment to places that doesn't work. As we know, 1466 01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:33,200 Speaker 1: Chinese have done that send I think one third of 1467 01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:38,240 Speaker 1: the ventilators they sent to Spain actually function. I also 1468 01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:40,599 Speaker 1: saw some anecdote reporting today that one of the problems 1469 01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:42,559 Speaker 1: we're running up against with trying to get more ppe 1470 01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:46,080 Speaker 1: and to buy it from Chinese factories right now is 1471 01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:50,280 Speaker 1: that we the market rate is not being European countries 1472 01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:52,680 Speaker 1: are just paying for whatever the market rate is right now, 1473 01:22:53,400 --> 01:23:00,280 Speaker 1: and American companies are shorter on willingness to do that 1474 01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:04,240 Speaker 1: because they don't want to be seen as as engaged 1475 01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:05,880 Speaker 1: or you know, being a party to any sort of 1476 01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:08,439 Speaker 1: price gouging that's going on. So we don't want to 1477 01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:10,040 Speaker 1: pay those higher rates because then you have to sell 1478 01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,519 Speaker 1: them at a higher rate, and so they won't they 1479 01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:17,000 Speaker 1: won't do it. We're pretending that market price mechanisms don't 1480 01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,519 Speaker 1: function for ppe on a global scale when they still do. 1481 01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:23,120 Speaker 1: That's the point that I'm trying to make here. Sorry 1482 01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:24,960 Speaker 1: if it was a little bit of a little bit oblique, 1483 01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:28,719 Speaker 1: but the globalization conversation is going to be very interesting. 1484 01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:32,200 Speaker 1: If the borders conversation, what is the future of this 1485 01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,479 Speaker 1: country like, if we don't really think of it as 1486 01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:37,280 Speaker 1: a country, as a nation, as a people, and maybe 1487 01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:39,679 Speaker 1: there'll be a re establishment of that. In fact, Trump's 1488 01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:42,479 Speaker 1: rise came in part because of a desire I believe 1489 01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:46,960 Speaker 1: to re establish sovereignty and borders and this as a 1490 01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:52,640 Speaker 1: nation and not just an entity that allows for governance 1491 01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:56,080 Speaker 1: and you know, an economic union of individuals who happen 1492 01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:58,680 Speaker 1: to be here. There's something more to being an American 1493 01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:03,040 Speaker 1: than that. There'll be a lot of ways that the 1494 01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:06,320 Speaker 1: current epidemic influences our conversation about all of those things. 1495 01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:11,839 Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton 1496 01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 1: Show podcast. We're in a phase one trial. We went 1497 01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,920 Speaker 1: into it as quickly as we possibly could, the fastest ebbit, 1498 01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:26,200 Speaker 1: but still the process at rocket speed takes about a 1499 01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:28,240 Speaker 1: year to a year and a half. So if we 1500 01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:32,200 Speaker 1: cycle with this outbreak and it comes back next fall 1501 01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:36,680 Speaker 1: in winter, we might have the early components of vaccine 1502 01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:41,760 Speaker 1: ready to count to that outbreak, likely next winter, let's hope. 1503 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,960 Speaker 1: So it would be an amazing time for a scientific breakthrough. 1504 01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:48,000 Speaker 1: Right now here we have the scientific community around the 1505 01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:53,479 Speaker 1: whole world looking at this and this microscopic particle, this virus. 1506 01:24:54,320 --> 01:24:57,519 Speaker 1: All it wants to do is just replicate itself. Why 1507 01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:00,400 Speaker 1: do viruses even exist another? Viruses all over, most of 1508 01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:02,800 Speaker 1: them are harmless to us. But the whole world is 1509 01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:05,160 Speaker 1: fighting against this microscopic particle. And are we going to 1510 01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:08,880 Speaker 1: be able to win that battle sooner than later? And 1511 01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:12,240 Speaker 1: how many lives that would save? You've got to think 1512 01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,599 Speaker 1: that with all the researchers, with all the brain power, 1513 01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:17,120 Speaker 1: all the computing capability, everything that we've got all over 1514 01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:20,360 Speaker 1: the world, we can't get a treatment sooner than I 1515 01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:22,559 Speaker 1: know that vaccine is a different issue, but we can't 1516 01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:25,960 Speaker 1: get a treatment sooner than the fall. We can't get 1517 01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:28,400 Speaker 1: a treatment to the next thirty to sixty days. Something 1518 01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:32,840 Speaker 1: that really is a game changer here. I feel a 1519 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:35,880 Speaker 1: degree of frustration with that. In fact, I'm just not 1520 01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:38,479 Speaker 1: willing to believe that yet. I think that there will 1521 01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:41,320 Speaker 1: be something, there will be something better than what we 1522 01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:43,360 Speaker 1: have right now to fight against this. Or maybe we'll 1523 01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:44,920 Speaker 1: just find out that one of the things we're using. 1524 01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:48,520 Speaker 1: I know everyone's been talking about hydroxychloroquin and a zithromycin. 1525 01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:50,720 Speaker 1: Maybe some of the things we're using we'll find out 1526 01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:54,000 Speaker 1: really do make the difference. New York has started using 1527 01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:57,680 Speaker 1: hydroxy chloroquin and a zithromycin as of this week. I 1528 01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:02,360 Speaker 1: believe so we will have some real frontline data, which 1529 01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:04,400 Speaker 1: is different than a clinical study. But we'll have frontline 1530 01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:08,640 Speaker 1: data within the next couple of weeks at least to 1531 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:11,040 Speaker 1: show if this is this is going to save lives. 1532 01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:15,280 Speaker 1: But man, now, now is the opportunity for a pharmaceutical 1533 01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:18,360 Speaker 1: company to come along and become a or you know, 1534 01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:22,639 Speaker 1: an individual scientist usually will be part of a team. 1535 01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:24,600 Speaker 1: I would assume it's unlikely that we'll have some of 1536 01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:27,240 Speaker 1: people think of Marie Curie and some of these other 1537 01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:31,040 Speaker 1: great scientists of the past, Louis pasture and pasteurization, and 1538 01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:36,880 Speaker 1: we name some of these processes for these scientists, there's 1539 01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:41,280 Speaker 1: unlikely to be one person that is the one who 1540 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:44,640 Speaker 1: saves us from this. But man, talking about being a 1541 01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:47,000 Speaker 1: global hero, I mean, this is this is for the 1542 01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 1: first time in my life that there's somebody or there's 1543 01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:52,840 Speaker 1: some group that could step forward and would really be 1544 01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:56,920 Speaker 1: the equivalent of the guys from the movie Armageddon that 1545 01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:00,200 Speaker 1: dig into the asteroid and blow it up for it 1546 01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:02,760 Speaker 1: and destroy all life on planet Earth. I mean, we're 1547 01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:04,479 Speaker 1: not all going to die from this, obviously, so that's 1548 01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:07,040 Speaker 1: a bit of an even more extreme scenario by a 1549 01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:10,559 Speaker 1: few orders of magnitude. But there's a real possibility here, 1550 01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:13,680 Speaker 1: and I hold out hope every day, and the one 1551 01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:16,360 Speaker 1: thing I wish for more than anything else is that 1552 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:17,880 Speaker 1: I'll wake up and I'll be able to look at 1553 01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,120 Speaker 1: the news, or I'll get some message from someone who's 1554 01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:24,160 Speaker 1: perhaps in the pipeline of information on this one. I've 1555 01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:26,080 Speaker 1: got some good sources in a whole bunch of places, 1556 01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:30,280 Speaker 1: and we'll just tell me they found something. They've got 1557 01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:32,479 Speaker 1: something now that can really fight this thing, and we're 1558 01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:35,080 Speaker 1: going to churn it out. And now, you know, it 1559 01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:37,280 Speaker 1: would just be such a different world if you went 1560 01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:40,639 Speaker 1: into the hospital and they were saying we've got something 1561 01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:43,080 Speaker 1: that you've got a really good chance is going to 1562 01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:45,240 Speaker 1: knock this out of you in a couple of days, 1563 01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:47,519 Speaker 1: and you've got a really good chance, even if you 1564 01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:49,479 Speaker 1: have the more severe symptoms, a really good chance of 1565 01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:53,360 Speaker 1: going home just fine. I mean, I honestly think I'm 1566 01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:55,360 Speaker 1: gonna tell you this when that day comes, and I'm 1567 01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:57,280 Speaker 1: hoping that it will be here in the next couple 1568 01:27:57,320 --> 01:28:01,760 Speaker 1: of months. That's mine. That's just mine. That'll be the 1569 01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:03,880 Speaker 1: first news story that I can think of in a 1570 01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:08,160 Speaker 1: very long time where I think I will actually break 1571 01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:12,080 Speaker 1: down in tears. That's That's how much of a relief 1572 01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:15,000 Speaker 1: that would be. Now, I don't know if we'll get there, 1573 01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:19,840 Speaker 1: but I'm I'm holding out. I'm holding out hope with 1574 01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:22,920 Speaker 1: everything that I've got. There are a lot of different 1575 01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:25,559 Speaker 1: companies that are trying to come up with something here. 1576 01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:29,240 Speaker 1: I also wonder why we don't have a bounty system 1577 01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:30,880 Speaker 1: given how much money we're spending right now. I mean, 1578 01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:34,320 Speaker 1: the government should just say anybody that figures out, you know, 1579 01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:38,200 Speaker 1: a treatment that has I don't know what the how 1580 01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,880 Speaker 1: would they even engage the efficacy, but you know, seventy 1581 01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:45,920 Speaker 1: percent efficacy and reducing uh, you know, in curing cases 1582 01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:48,400 Speaker 1: within a week or you know, eighty percent efficacy in curing. 1583 01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:50,639 Speaker 1: That should get a check for I don't know, ten 1584 01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:54,240 Speaker 1: twenty fifty billion dollars. I mean really, I mean we 1585 01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:57,799 Speaker 1: should be willing to throw serious money at this because 1586 01:28:57,800 --> 01:28:59,599 Speaker 1: the profit mode of matters. Even now. I know where 1587 01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:01,599 Speaker 1: supposed to believe that everyone's just all hands on deck 1588 01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:03,760 Speaker 1: with everything, but the profit motive always matters to people 1589 01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:08,559 Speaker 1: at some level, certainly to corporations. So man, I'm hoping 1590 01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:11,160 Speaker 1: that I'm right on this one. I'm hoping before June 1591 01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:14,240 Speaker 1: we get it.

I'm reading you. Well, 1603 01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm not hearing you, but I'm reading what you think, 1604 01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:54,960 Speaker 1: and it means a lot.

Ted, hey Buck, hope you and Mark 1607 01:30:00,320 --> 01:30:02,200 Speaker 1: are safe and sound in your lockdown. I was listening 1608 01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,400 Speaker 1: to your Friday show. You said manufacturer should be putting 1609 01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:06,120 Speaker 1: out thousands of ventilators by the end of the week. 1610 01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:09,479 Speaker 1: This is not possible. Most retooling takes months, but in 1611 01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:11,200 Speaker 1: this crisis only take a few weeks to be in 1612 01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:13,880 Speaker 1: full production. Just to make a simple tool for parts 1613 01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:17,160 Speaker 1: takes two weeks minimum from design to finish product. Once 1614 01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:20,280 Speaker 1: retooling is complete, we can run non stomp for thousands 1615 01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:22,120 Speaker 1: of respirators. Just let you know, you guys are my 1616 01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:24,439 Speaker 1: favorite shield high brother. Ted. Thank you. You know more 1617 01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:27,479 Speaker 1: about this than I do. And I think sometimes we speak, 1618 01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:29,880 Speaker 1: especially when we're just reading about coronavirus all day, we 1619 01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:33,400 Speaker 1: speak out of frustration. We speak out of frustration that 1620 01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:35,720 Speaker 1: we just wish things could be better than they are. 1621 01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:40,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, there are still economic and material and labor 1622 01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:44,000 Speaker 1: realities to all of these things, which is why I 1623 01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:46,200 Speaker 1: still think the economy is really important to keep going. 1624 01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:49,920 Speaker 1: But you know I can't say that out loud anymore. Leo, 1625 01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:52,720 Speaker 1: but yeah no, Ted, thank you, and by the guys 1626 01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:54,160 Speaker 1: when I'm wrong, I like to be told i'm wrong. 1627 01:30:54,200 --> 01:30:55,680 Speaker 1: I like to learn. I want to know a lot 1628 01:30:55,760 --> 01:30:58,200 Speaker 1: of you. Every single one of you listening to the 1629 01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:00,600 Speaker 1: show has a whole bunch of things you know more 1630 01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:04,080 Speaker 1: about than I do. And so if I ever stray 1631 01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:06,960 Speaker 1: into an area of your particular work, expertise, or anything else, 1632 01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:08,519 Speaker 1: and you think there's a way to tell me so 1633 01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:10,640 Speaker 1: that I can then educate everybody else. One of the 1634 01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:12,560 Speaker 1: reasons I love doing this show is I constantly have 1635 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:14,960 Speaker 1: to learn, and I like learning from all of you. 1636 01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:17,720 Speaker 1: I don't pretend to know everything. Some people think that 1637 01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:20,439 Speaker 1: that's the way to get to build, you know, an audience, 1638 01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:22,760 Speaker 1: and that's the way to get attention. There are some 1639 01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:24,240 Speaker 1: things I know a lot about. There are other things. 1640 01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:29,439 Speaker 1: I'm just a student like everybody else. You know, like hockey, 1641 01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:32,880 Speaker 1: for example, right Producer Mark, Producer Mark is the obi 1642 01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:35,920 Speaker 1: Wan of the NHL. To my potty Wan, I mean, 1643 01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:37,439 Speaker 1: I don't have to be that much an expert to 1644 01:31:37,520 --> 01:31:40,360 Speaker 1: know more than you about the NHL. Nice and salty, 1645 01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:42,240 Speaker 1: good to have you on board, Mark, no problem, That's 1646 01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:45,840 Speaker 1: what I'm here for.

What are your top book 1657 01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:22,360 Speaker 1: recommendations for a history nerd and law student? Miriam? I 1658 01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:24,080 Speaker 1: can't really do that much for you on the law 1659 01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:32,160 Speaker 1: side of things, although there are some philosophical treatises treatises 1660 01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,400 Speaker 1: that I think may be worth your time. In terms 1661 01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:40,800 Speaker 1: of history books, Oh man, I love Empires of the 1662 01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:46,519 Speaker 1: Sea by Crowley Robert Massey's Biography of Peter the Great. 1663 01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:48,759 Speaker 1: I'm not even a big Russian history guile, I'm becoming 1664 01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:51,400 Speaker 1: more of one these days, but the Biography of Peter 1665 01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:55,160 Speaker 1: the Great is incredible. William Manchester's biography of Douglas MacArthur, 1666 01:32:55,280 --> 01:33:01,040 Speaker 1: William Manchester's biography of Winston Churchill, The Jenkins biography Roy Jenkins, 1667 01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:03,160 Speaker 1: a former member of Parliament in the UK. His biography 1668 01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:08,840 Speaker 1: Winston Churchill's pretty decent. Not as good in my opinion 1669 01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:11,800 Speaker 1: as the Manchester Last Lie in biography, but still pretty good. 1670 01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:18,680 Speaker 1: Those are very excellent history books. So I'll have to 1671 01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:21,679 Speaker 1: think of some other books on history that I could 1672 01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:24,160 Speaker 1: recommend for you that I think you would. There's a 1673 01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:27,640 Speaker 1: Cortes book that I read recently. I'm actually forgetting the 1674 01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:30,360 Speaker 1: name of it, but the guy it's I think the 1675 01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:32,960 Speaker 1: guy Buddy. I think Buddy Levy is the guy who 1676 01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:34,800 Speaker 1: wrote it. Is that the name of the author. Let 1677 01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:36,880 Speaker 1: me make sure I see now you got me all. 1678 01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:42,519 Speaker 1: You got me all tied up with trying to make 1679 01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:44,000 Speaker 1: sure I give you the right book, because I don't 1680 01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:47,400 Speaker 1: want to ever give you conquis Or hern Hernan Cortez, 1681 01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:53,360 Speaker 1: Montezuma and The Last Stand of the Aztecs by Buddy Levy. Indeed, 1682 01:33:53,439 --> 01:33:57,600 Speaker 1: I was correct. The Cortes story is just crazy, and 1683 01:33:57,720 --> 01:33:59,120 Speaker 1: the fact that it hasn't I think it is being 1684 01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:01,280 Speaker 1: made in a movie, do a mini series right now. 1685 01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:03,639 Speaker 1: I mean, if they do it right, the Cortez story 1686 01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:05,479 Speaker 1: on Netflix will be one of the most amazing things 1687 01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:07,519 Speaker 1: you've ever seen. The reals. I mean, they can just 1688 01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:09,960 Speaker 1: do the real story more or less, they can keep 1689 01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:13,280 Speaker 1: it very historically accurate. What this guy was able to do. Oh, 1690 01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:17,200 Speaker 1: by the way, vicious, conniving, brutal. You know, I'm not 1691 01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:19,479 Speaker 1: saying he's a good guy, but I'm just saying what 1692 01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:21,920 Speaker 1: he did. I mean to show up with five hundred 1693 01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:25,719 Speaker 1: guys and take on a whole I mean, imagine showing 1694 01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:28,479 Speaker 1: up with five hundred dudes. They were all dudes. There 1695 01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:30,360 Speaker 1: were no ladies. So I can say, imagine showing with 1696 01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:36,639 Speaker 1: five hundred dudes. And yes, you have an advantage of horses, steel, 1697 01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:40,240 Speaker 1: and gunpowder. But those were the big advantages that Cortez 1698 01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:42,360 Speaker 1: and his men had. But keep in mind the gunpet 1699 01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:44,280 Speaker 1: It's not like you're showing up with an AAR. Some 1700 01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:45,920 Speaker 1: of you are like, yeah, I'd show up and I'd 1701 01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:48,479 Speaker 1: have my AAR, my EO tech, and you know those 1702 01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:51,719 Speaker 1: Aztecs wouldn't stand a chance. It's like, nope, We're talking 1703 01:34:51,720 --> 01:34:55,840 Speaker 1: about an old flintlock style. You know, you have to 1704 01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:58,800 Speaker 1: like light it and there's if there's Eddie dampness with 1705 01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:01,439 Speaker 1: the powder and you or one shot a minute and 1706 01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:05,439 Speaker 1: it's on a little stand, and you know, mmm, you 1707 01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:09,640 Speaker 1: would not want one hundred, one hundred people with hatchets 1708 01:35:09,680 --> 01:35:12,240 Speaker 1: and spears and everything else coming at you while you 1709 01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:17,599 Speaker 1: had your one shot. Now the horseback and having steel 1710 01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,919 Speaker 1: steal for sword, steal for armor, very very big advantage. 1711 01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:23,160 Speaker 1: But really the story of Cortez is a story of 1712 01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:27,519 Speaker 1: how he played the local politics and tribal rivalries against 1713 01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:34,240 Speaker 1: each other and became a special guest of Montezuma, and 1714 01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:37,240 Speaker 1: became a special guest of the empire of the Emperor 1715 01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:40,479 Speaker 1: of the Aztecs, and got close to him, held him 1716 01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:45,960 Speaker 1: captive in his own capital city. My friends, I'm telling 1717 01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:49,599 Speaker 1: you it's if you're looking for something some escapists reading, 1718 01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:51,760 Speaker 1: just pick up the Buddy Levy one is very good. 1719 01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:55,880 Speaker 1: But I would say, any any biography of Cortes, any 1720 01:35:55,960 --> 01:35:58,560 Speaker 1: story of Cortez, the Unquistadory, it'll just be like, this 1721 01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:04,960 Speaker 1: is insane, this guy's nuts. Alrighty, what else do we 1722 01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:09,639 Speaker 1: have here? I was doing. I was producer Mark, Well, 1723 01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:12,360 Speaker 1: here we go.

I mean, who isn't grumpy right now? That's 1735 01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:49,040 Speaker 1: a fair point. I'm actually in our houses.

That is that is also so true? 1741 01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, producer producer Mark, you know he carries a 1742 01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:08,639 Speaker 1: heavy load. He carries a heavy load for the show. 1743 01:37:08,760 --> 01:37:12,960 Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Eric Joe Exonic is Craig Kray. And 1744 01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:17,200 Speaker 1: here's the reason why it takes several generations to domesticate 1745 01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:20,320 Speaker 1: a wild animal. As witnessed in one of the later episodes, 1746 01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:22,560 Speaker 1: a tiger turns on Joe and he has to shoot it. 1747 01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:25,439 Speaker 1: Maybe Craig Kray is being a little easy on him. 1748 01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:30,080 Speaker 1: He is totally insane shields high from Texas. Uh yeah, Eric, 1749 01:37:30,160 --> 01:37:33,559 Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't. I wouldn't take a tiger into 1750 01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:36,639 Speaker 1: my home because I feel like, even if the tiger 1751 01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:42,120 Speaker 1: didn't wish me extreme harm, those animals are so powerful 1752 01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:45,800 Speaker 1: and so large and so much stronger than a human being, 1753 01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:48,960 Speaker 1: and those teeth are so sharp. There's you know, the 1754 01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:52,200 Speaker 1: claws are so long. You really don't want to be 1755 01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:54,200 Speaker 1: on the wrong side of an angry tiger. I just 1756 01:37:54,280 --> 01:37:58,040 Speaker 1: think that's a Yeah. I think that's that's for real. 1757 01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:03,639 Speaker 1: That's for real. Zi's let's see here. Um Oh.

The clip he played 1790 01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:41,200 Speaker 1: where he said almost every president's ratings go up during 1791 01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:45,479 Speaker 1: a crisis, going all the way back to Jimmy Carter 1792 01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:48,759 Speaker 1: and the hostage crisis. What Carter's response was a failure 1793 01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:51,800 Speaker 1: and helped get Reagan elected. I think his comments about 1794 01:39:51,800 --> 01:39:54,439 Speaker 1: stopping the negative attacks or the negative personal attacks were 1795 01:39:54,439 --> 01:39:56,519 Speaker 1: directed at Trump and not directed the Democrats. That's just 1796 01:39:56,640 --> 01:40:02,040 Speaker 1: my opinion. Press ONMBRO. Yeah, Al, you know, I think 1797 01:40:02,120 --> 01:40:04,639 Speaker 1: you're certainly right that. I look, Joe Biden is jealous 1798 01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:06,360 Speaker 1: right now because he thought that if he started doing 1799 01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:08,680 Speaker 1: these press conferences, people would think more highly of him. 1800 01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:16,200 Speaker 1: So there's that, and they don't. And as for the 1801 01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:19,400 Speaker 1: personal attacks, yeah, I can't remember if Biden was speaking 1802 01:40:19,439 --> 01:40:22,240 Speaker 1: about in a way where one would assume he meant 1803 01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:24,400 Speaker 1: no one should be engaging in personal attacks or if 1804 01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:27,160 Speaker 1: it was just really a personal attack on Trump, which 1805 01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:28,800 Speaker 1: would not be surprising if that was what he was 1806 01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:32,879 Speaker 1: really doing. So yeah, al you are a very astute 1807 01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:36,800 Speaker 1: listener and I appreciate you giving me your time. And 1808 01:40:37,080 --> 01:40:39,639 Speaker 1: I also would continue to ask, especially as everyone in quarantine, 1809 01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:42,280 Speaker 1: people are really listening to a lot of podcasts. So 1810 01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:45,000 Speaker 1: all of you who are podcast listeners, please do on 1811 01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:48,519 Speaker 1: Facebook or anywhere just post the show, tell your friends 1812 01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:51,400 Speaker 1: about a direct message and say hey, instead of everyone 1813 01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:53,200 Speaker 1: just talking about Tiger King, be like, have you heard 1814 01:40:53,200 --> 01:40:54,800 Speaker 1: of the Buck Sexton Show. You should listen to this. 1815 01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:58,400 Speaker 1: It's on Spotify, It's on the iHeartRadio app, It's on 1816 01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:01,200 Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts produce mark. Where else can people listen to 1817 01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:04,280 Speaker 1: podcast these days? Oh, there's a platform called Stitcher that 1818 01:41:04,320 --> 01:41:06,519 Speaker 1: a lot of people use. Google Play if you have 1819 01:41:06,600 --> 01:41:10,439 Speaker 1: an Android phone. There we go the Bucksexton dot Com, 1820 01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:13,360 Speaker 1: which we'll be having new content soon. You can always 1821 01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:17,519 Speaker 1: get it there.

We are we're actually almost at the end 1824 01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:24,080 Speaker 1: of the month, so we'll be checking in on our 1825 01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:26,519 Speaker 1: podcast downloads for the month, but we are assuming, we're 1826 01:41:26,560 --> 01:41:29,200 Speaker 1: hoping that they go up pretty substantially because they have 1827 01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:34,439 Speaker 1: been in recent months. You're in the freedom hunt. This 1828 01:41:34,720 --> 01:41:44,360 Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Okay, Mark with a C, 1829 01:41:45,080 --> 01:41:49,360 Speaker 1: not a K. Hi Buck, I'm listening to you. Am 1830 01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:53,719 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, k EIB, thanks for giving a shout 1831 01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:56,320 Speaker 1: out to all of us in essential businesses. I work 1832 01:41:56,360 --> 01:41:58,559 Speaker 1: at a very busy cost Go location. The past month 1833 01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:02,759 Speaker 1: has seen such an increase INOUME that it's unbelievable. Costco 1834 01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:06,360 Speaker 1: has put in place protective measures, measures such as social distancing, 1835 01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:09,439 Speaker 1: spacing markers on the front end where checkers like me 1836 01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:13,200 Speaker 1: work to install shields on the check stands themselves. Thanks 1837 01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:14,640 Speaker 1: for taking the time to read the shield time and 1838 01:42:14,640 --> 01:42:16,120 Speaker 1: good health to you, Mark. Good health to you too. 1839 01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:17,560 Speaker 1: Thank you for doing what you are doing. Thank you 1840 01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:21,200 Speaker 1: for keeping this country going. We cannot win the virus 1841 01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:23,760 Speaker 1: fight unless we have people who continue to show up 1842 01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:27,519 Speaker 1: and do their jobs. The essential folks out there on 1843 01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:31,240 Speaker 1: the front lines medical personnel, but also economics, supply and 1844 01:42:31,320 --> 01:42:34,960 Speaker 1: logistics personnel. So that is folks who work at Costco. 1845 01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:37,680 Speaker 1: That is folks who work at major grocery chains all 1846 01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:40,479 Speaker 1: across the country. I saw that there's this walkout from 1847 01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:43,280 Speaker 1: Whole Foods, for example. I'm concerned about what's going to 1848 01:42:43,320 --> 01:42:47,920 Speaker 1: happen going forward with some of these circumstances, because everything 1849 01:42:48,040 --> 01:42:50,400 Speaker 1: changes the moment that people show up. If this happens, 1850 01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:53,400 Speaker 1: if people show up to stores and they really look 1851 01:42:53,479 --> 01:42:56,320 Speaker 1: like there's nothing there. You know, it's very little on 1852 01:42:56,479 --> 01:42:59,240 Speaker 1: sale at a store, even if it's just a localized 1853 01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:02,320 Speaker 1: problem for a while, then real panic will set it. 1854 01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:05,800 Speaker 1: Now you'll see what panic actually looks like. So it's 1855 01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:11,240 Speaker 1: so important that we keep those stores as stocked as possible, 1856 01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:14,920 Speaker 1: John Buck, Pelosi is a perfect example of why we 1857 01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:17,400 Speaker 1: have term limits in Congress. She represents a district with 1858 01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:21,519 Speaker 1: powerful special interests, which ensure she's always reelected to garner 1859 01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:24,519 Speaker 1: more and more power in the House to ensure favorable 1860 01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:30,559 Speaker 1: legislation on their behalf and push their agendas shields high. Yes, John, 1861 01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:34,439 Speaker 1: I think that's true of Pelosi. I think also Pelosi 1862 01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:38,160 Speaker 1: has no intention of changing any event anytime soon. She 1863 01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:40,439 Speaker 1: is not going to be in favor of term limits. 1864 01:43:41,720 --> 01:43:44,200 Speaker 1: Members of Congress like what they do. They like their prerogatives, 1865 01:43:44,240 --> 01:43:48,280 Speaker 1: and that's not going to change anytime soon. Kyle, Hey Buck, 1866 01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:51,160 Speaker 1: I find it amazing how people want more government control 1867 01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:53,880 Speaker 1: of our lives. If you step back and look at 1868 01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:56,640 Speaker 1: the whole picture of this situation, our problems are a 1869 01:43:56,720 --> 01:43:59,800 Speaker 1: direct result of local governments and some federal agency's not 1870 01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:02,960 Speaker 1: being prepared for many many years. Now, they're all begging 1871 01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:04,960 Speaker 1: the private sector to pick up the slack and producing 1872 01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:07,599 Speaker 1: the things we need. I know you can't fully prepare 1873 01:44:07,680 --> 01:44:09,560 Speaker 1: for a pandemic, but I feel like these governors have 1874 01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:11,479 Speaker 1: no idea on how to fix these issues, so they 1875 01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:14,360 Speaker 1: just shut everything down. They love to blame the president 1876 01:44:14,439 --> 01:44:16,320 Speaker 1: for this, but in all reality, he doesn't have the 1877 01:44:16,360 --> 01:44:18,760 Speaker 1: power over a state like the governor does. They're the 1878 01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:20,840 Speaker 1: ones that decide the medical supplies they need, and the 1879 01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:23,600 Speaker 1: hospitals that get built and so on. The incompetence in 1880 01:44:23,760 --> 01:44:27,240 Speaker 1: government is breathtaking. I'm glad we have a president with 1881 01:44:27,360 --> 01:44:29,280 Speaker 1: some common sense. He seems to be doing the best 1882 01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:31,560 Speaker 1: he can with the limited powers he has, and a 1883 01:44:31,640 --> 01:44:37,120 Speaker 1: limited government limited government power is always a good thing. Kyle, Yeah. 1884 01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:39,960 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the biggest opportunity for the government 1885 01:44:40,080 --> 01:44:44,280 Speaker 1: takeover that anybody could ever really conjure up. I mean, 1886 01:44:44,400 --> 01:44:46,559 Speaker 1: even more so in a lot of ways than a war, 1887 01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:50,160 Speaker 1: at least unless you are losing the war pretty dramatically 1888 01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:55,320 Speaker 1: against a human foe. This opens up the ability for 1889 01:44:55,360 --> 01:44:58,080 Speaker 1: the government to try to control everything, and if you 1890 01:44:58,360 --> 01:45:00,640 Speaker 1: have any problem with that degree of control, if you 1891 01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:05,240 Speaker 1: have any issue with that, you are a bad person. 1892 01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:07,479 Speaker 1: That is what this has turned into. You are not 1893 01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:10,240 Speaker 1: allowed to question this. If you question this, people die. 1894 01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:13,720 Speaker 1: If you have any concerns, If you have any people die. 1895 01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:17,280 Speaker 1: That's where we are now. A lot of people said 1896 01:45:17,680 --> 01:45:19,960 Speaker 1: really stupid things from positions of authority for the last 1897 01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:22,000 Speaker 1: couple of months, but they're not being told that people 1898 01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:25,559 Speaker 1: die because now they're on the Okay. The government can 1899 01:45:25,600 --> 01:45:27,200 Speaker 1: do anything it wants, can tell you to do whatever 1900 01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:31,599 Speaker 1: it wants, and that's fine. I just I don't think 1901 01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:33,519 Speaker 1: that this goes the way that a lot of people 1902 01:45:34,040 --> 01:45:37,240 Speaker 1: right now the template. Well, I'll get more into this tomorrow. 1903 01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:41,160 Speaker 1: I'll keep you on edge there, Buck fairly a fairly 1904 01:45:41,439 --> 01:45:44,200 Speaker 1: new listener. This is from Tiffany. You have grown to 1905 01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:46,840 Speaker 1: my go to podcast when traveling and staying up to date. 1906 01:45:47,280 --> 01:45:49,360 Speaker 1: I have four immediate family members an over a dozen 1907 01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:51,000 Speaker 1: of my co workers who listen to you. Also, well, 1908 01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:53,320 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Tiffany. I know you've brought up 1909 01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:56,000 Speaker 1: the possibility of the Chinese virus being man made. You've 1910 01:45:56,040 --> 01:45:58,360 Speaker 1: also added if we don't have natural immunity or antibodies, 1911 01:45:58,479 --> 01:46:01,080 Speaker 1: you would believe it's man made. To questions, have any 1912 01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:04,280 Speaker 1: of the twenty five member Chinese Polite Borrow contracted or 1913 01:46:04,320 --> 01:46:06,360 Speaker 1: died of the virus? If not, do you think they 1914 01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:08,640 Speaker 1: had protection from this? If they don't believe in coincidence, 1915 01:46:09,200 --> 01:46:12,439 Speaker 1: will they also limit Well, Look, I can only say 1916 01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:16,120 Speaker 1: this as we close out the show. I'm just working 1917 01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:18,640 Speaker 1: through that theory. I can never say it's true. I 1918 01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:23,320 Speaker 1: would never say it's fact, but I'm open to learning 1919 01:46:23,400 --> 01:46:26,160 Speaker 1: more about what happened with the origins of this virus. 1920 01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:27,719 Speaker 1: That much as for sure, and I don't believe anybody 1921 01:46:27,720 --> 01:46:30,040 Speaker 1: in the Chinese Communist Party leadership has gotten it, not 1922 01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:33,120 Speaker 1: that I'm aware of. Team. We'll be back tomorrow and 1923 01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:34,720 Speaker 1: I look forward to it. Thank you so much for 1924 01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:36,839 Speaker 1: being here with me.
