WEBVTT - Trump's Top Priority Is Saving Lives 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:14.680 You are entering the freedom Hunt team to fight against 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:19.440 coronavirus continues. We have updates from the various top leaders 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.560 involved in this, President Trump, his task force, and everybody 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:24.680 else that's trying to make sure that we save as 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.040 many lives as possible and get on the other side 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.080 of this coronavirus curve. I'll break it all down for you, 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.199 plus the role of China and all this coming up 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:35.920 on The buck Sexton Show. Bucks sextons decoding the news 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:42.400 and disseminating information. We have actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:47.440 you're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show. 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:52.520 Plums CIA analysts. I can speak to three hours without 0:00:52.520 --> 0:01:00.880 a phone call. Try doing that sometimes. No. Welcome everyone 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.160 too the buck Sexton Show. Thank you for joining me here. 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.480 I am still in quarantine week two of what's going 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:09.039 to be at least now, I guess six weeks of quarantine. 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.840 This is the circumstance that we find ourselves in in 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.920 New York City. I know it's different in different places 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.280 all across the country, but this is going to be 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.480 our reality for the foreseeable. Producer Mark and I are 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.119 talking about how we thought this might be a pretty 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:30.600 short term, a pretty temporary circumstance doing this show in 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.759 our remote locations, but I think the remote locations are 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:38.880 now the official freedom huts for the foreseeable. We have 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.360 some updates for you on where we stand now against 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:43.800 this A whole bunch of stories I want to bring 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:47.319 to your attention today. So lots to do, lots to 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.480 talk about, as it's always the case, Let's get first 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:56.720 the President speaking about what the priority is here. There's 0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.600 been a redoubling of the mission. I think there's greater 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.320 clarity now there had been before from the administration about 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.480 how they want to proceed in terms of the timeline 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.760 and the duration of some of these restrictions. Here is 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.040 what the President had to say at Play nine. Well, 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.000 it's so bad for the economy, but the economy is 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:16.919 number two on my list. First. I want to save 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.120 a lot of lives. We're going to get the economy back. 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.120 I think the economy is going to come back very fast. 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.800 Steeves just asking about the economy, what's it like. We 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.960 basically shut down our country, and we did that in 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.400 order to keep people separated, keep people apart. They're not 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.400 working in offices and not in airplanes. Together. You know, 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.600 we really shut it down. And you know, one hundred 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.519 and fifty hundred and fifty one other countries are pretty 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.280 much shut down. But here we had the greatest economy 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.280 in the world. We had the greatest economy in the 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.600 history of our country. And I had to go from 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.240 doing a great job for three years to shutting it down. 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:54.120 But you know what, We're going to build it up, 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.160 and we're going to build it up rapidly, and I 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:57.920 think in the end we'll be stronger for it. We 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.400 learned a lot, the President saying, look, this is the 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.079 way it's going to be. This is now the mission. 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.960 It is to do the absolute maximum for virus suppression 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:10.720 measures now, and then bringing back the economy, which everyone 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:15.720 now understands has been effectively frozen in place, well not 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.560 even really frozen in place, because it is worse. It 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:24.240 is worse than it was before. The markets have gotten crushed. 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.760 There's a lot of lost jobs, there's a lot of 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.320 lost businesses. And as I walk around the city, I 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.320 suppose one of the problems I've had with my perception 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.520 of this or an issue that I have to engage, 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:39.000 is I see I see the shuttered stores. I see 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:44.000 the individuals who are trying to scratch out a living 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.760 in the very very few now restaurants that remain open 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.880 here in the center of New York City, and I 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.480 feel terribly for them, and I've got to think that 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.960 there's a way to balance this out, perhaps take other 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.240 precautions or other their measures. There must be something else 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.680 that we can do other than just this, right, and no, 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.160 it turns out that this is the only thing that 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.560 we really can do under the circumstances. This is the 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.760 only thing that the government now will at least for 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.680 the next month, have as the as the strategy. I 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.400 have been concerned about this, as you know. I'm very worried, 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.440 especially about the impact on places where they don't have 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:30.120 a lot of COVID nineteen and then it could the 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.599 economic devastation might last for a very very long time. 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.599 And people who are trying to be adults and talking 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.200 good faith understand that there are there are some risks 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:45.240 that society excepts when even risk to life as just 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.720 a fact of its day to day functioning. But this 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.640 virus and the threat that it poses is clearly added 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.120 and created an additional degree of risk even beyond that 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:01.840 which we would tolerate, for say, other major illnesses and 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:06.279 other issues that come up that pose threat to lives 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:10.000 and to well livelihoods as well. So now this is 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:11.799 where we are, This is the mission. We're all supposed 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.880 to do everything we can. This is a national effort, 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:19.080 top down, to do whatever is in our power to 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:25.479 make sure that this virus is the absolute minimum of spread, 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.160 given where it already is, and therefore also an absolute 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:32.000 minimum of casualties. And I think that the mood of 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.719 the nation has shifted, or at least the mood I 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.479 can say the mood of the government, and I think 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.359 with it much of the national though I can't speak 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:42.599 for other parts of the country, but certainly the because 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.279 New York is in a particularly bad spot right now. 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.479 It's in the worst spot of any place in the 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:52.560 United States when it comes to this by far, I 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.800 think we have ten x the number of established cases 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:59.680 that Los Angeles does, for example. But the administration, I mean, 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.000 they're there's no question that the administration has shifted from 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.040 a week or two ago sounding like, look, we might 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.000 have to go back to work. There's going to be 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:12.040 some risks to now saying no all out against the virus. 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.960 Everything to do everything we can do we must in 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:19.280 the suppression of this virus. And I think we're also 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:23.839 at a point where we have to take it as well. 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.719 You don't have to take it on faith, but we 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.120 have to have a belief that the federal government will 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.600 be able to bring back the federal government will be 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.839 able to resurrect the economy in a few months time 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:43.200 when it starts to allow for more working and you know, 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:48.440 an additional economic activity. I think it's a pretty big 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:53.200 I think it's a pretty big risk that we are running. 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.480 And I've been saying that all along, But I also 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.120 understand how that people say, well, that's the choice that 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.720 we've made as a society. Now. The is something we're 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.240 just going to accept, all right. So we're going to 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.200 add trillions of dollars to the debt, We're going to 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:11.080 have unemployment that reaches close to forty fifty million, We're 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:12.760 going to send a lot of checks from a treasury 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.960 which hopefully we'll have at least very important short term 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:21.280 benefits for everyone. And that's where we're going. That's what 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.280 we're going to do. And we hope that there's no inflation. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:28.120 We hope that there's no economic devastation that results from this. 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.560 But I also think that the government's attitude now is 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.440 we can handle whatever the economic situation is. I'm not 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.360 I'm not saying that they're right or not. I don't know. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.920 I'm at the hope in prey phase for the government. 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:44.880 The same government officials and agencies, and from the federal 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.840 all the way down to the local level, those same 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:55.360 individuals are who are incapable or unable to prepare adequately 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.160 for what we're seeing here. Those those same people are 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.400 now telling us, no worry, We're going to take this 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:07.680 unprecedented and major economic step of shutting down an economy 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.520 and we'll just bring it all back. And it looked 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.160 maybe they're right, and then it's clearly the right move. 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:18.360 I've been worried that this will trigger a depression, and 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.280 now I'm seeing that there's very little. There seems to 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.840 be very little concern over that. I don't know. May 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.880 maybe I'm just reading the wrong newspapers, seeing the wrong 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.680 I don't read newspapers, but reading the wrong websites and 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.920 news organizations and opinion columns and seeing other people who 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.160 think a lot about these issues for a living. But 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.679 we've decided that we're not worried about the economy right now. 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.400 We're just going to do everything we can to deal 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.960 with this virus. And I do wonder if down the 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.520 line there'll be more of a movement to have more 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.440 extreme precautions in place during And I'm not comparing this 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.000 to flu. This is worse than flu, and I've known 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.840 that for a while. It's a lot worse than the flu. 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.120 But I wonder if when we get past this, which 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.240 will be a certainly a happy day, if we will 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.959 reach a phase where everyone realizes, or everyone's told that 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.440 they're now expected to wear gloves and face mask when 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.480 they go in the office for normal flu for which 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.440 we lose you know, as you know, the numbers now 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.760 are constantly talking about anywhere from twenty to eighty thousand 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.640 people a year. And I wonder also how much this 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:25.079 every life is worth, any amount of risk, and worth 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:32.920 any amount of systemic findo systemic economic pressure. I wonder 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.920 where else that will apply, because I think that's that's 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.599 been the change in mentality that has occurred, and in 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.439 large part it's because of the people that are around 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.079 the president in the case that he has made to 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:50.800 people about what needs to be done here. So that's 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.520 the latest for me. Is that is that the president 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:55.240 or the most important thing here I think is that 0:09:55.280 --> 0:10:00.440 the President is re calibrating the way forward. And this 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.760 is in response to what he said on Sunday. I 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.600 mean here he is saying that you know, we're gonna win, 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.000 It's gonna be great. But also there is no other 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.560 option here play clip ten. We have no other choice. 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:13.920 Every one of us has a role to play in 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.520 winning this war. Every citizen, family, and business can make 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:22.000 the difference in stopping the virus. This is our shared 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:26.160 patriotic duty challenging times or ahead for the next thirty days, 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:30.040 and this is a very vital thirty days. We're sort 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.439 of putting it all on the line. This thirty day 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.200 is so important because we have to get back. But 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:39.120 the more we dedicate ourselves today, the more quickly we 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.120 will emerge on the other side of the crisis. And 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.600 that's the time we're waiting for. The more we commit 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.760 ourselves now, the sooner we can win the fight and 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:52.480 return to our lives, and they will be great lives, 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:57.520 maybe better than ever. There we go. That's what the 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.400 President is saying. We have no other choice. We have 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:04.000 to do everything we can here to move forward against 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:08.199 the virus in this way. And we are going to see, however, 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:12.360 some under any other circumstances, which you would have to 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:18.439 consider to be very concerning circumstances, we are going to 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:23.320 see situations in which there are, for example, state and 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:27.079 local authorities that are really just deciding that there are 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:31.320 no constitutional protections. This is already happening. I mean, you 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.600 had to Blasio yesterday say that he might shut down 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:38.120 a house of worship permanently. That's not something you would 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.120 usually hear from the mayor of a large city. You 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.720 have mandates to stay at home. I saw that in 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:49.040 DC they're saying that maybe you will be subjected to 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:53.559 ninety days in home ninety days in prison if you 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.360 don't confine yourself to home. So on the one hand, 0:11:56.400 --> 0:12:00.240 you have cities that are releasing prisoners, and I've even 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.800 seeing some reports now that it's not just elderly prisoners 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.080 who pose no threat to the public, but they're releasing 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:10.000 prisoners much more, much more broadly than that. You know, 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:14.480 much more dangerous prisoners are actually being up our being 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.079 caught up in these release or I guess should say, 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:21.040 released in these release programs. So you have cities that 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.520 are going to start having to enforce this, and right now, 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.960 maybe it doesn't seem like it is all that problematic 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.720 from a liberty perspective. Right now, it's it's an issue 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:35.760 that we can philosophically understand. Perhaps, But because we're staying home, 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.240 are we going to be staying home and relatively quiet 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:44.520 in mid April late April? If this is as bad 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.400 as the numbers that they're telling us, I can't imagine 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.120 that they're really going to have much of a relaxation 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.840 of this in May, because the way now the discussion 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.280 has been set up. Anybody who says we need even 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.280 if there's elevated risk, which elevated risk means that there 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:03.120 will be more people who could conceivably catch this disease 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.240 and could die from it. Anybody who's willing to say 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.240 at any point, yes, let's start to go back to normal. 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.280 If there's a jump in cases. Doctor Fauci talked about 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:16.560 the rebound, that person will have people, that leader, that official, 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.000 whoever it is, will have people screaming that they're they've 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.680 got blood on their hands. They've got blood on their hands. 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.440 That's what we'll be hearing all the time, and that 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:29.800 means that who's really gonna want to take that upon themselves? 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.000 You know? Right now, no one wants to be the 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.000 one who has to say. I mean, if you even 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.400 bring up the economy right now, I mean, I'm telling 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.120 you this, many of you that I'm speaking to on 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.400 this show, I'm saying I have concerns about the economy. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.599 The feeling in New York right now is if you 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:44.920 even say, hey, are we sure that we can handle 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:48.760 this economically, that maybe there's not some other concern that 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.520 we should work into this whole process of you are 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:57.560 you are like Adolf Hitler brought back to life. You're 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.520 the worst person ever. If you even bring up the economy, 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.160 you're a bad person. That's the attitude here in New 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.720 York City. I'm sure that's true in other places as well. 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:07.880 Even though the people that are being the hardest hit 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:12.680 by this right now are in fact people who are 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.920 working people. I mean when I say hardest hit by this, 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.319 I mean on the economic side, obviously, not including those 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.920 who are infected with the virus. They're working people. They're 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:24.960 people who are losing their businesses, and there's just all 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.560 of this lost productivity. I mean, what happens if you're 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.560 somebody who is in the midst of trying to finalize 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.640 a major transaction for your business and now now there's 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:39.200 really no business being done. You're you're finished, right, Your 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.680 life's work may go up and smoke. But we're being 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.840 told that that's just the cost that we are all 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.160 going to bear now for maximum measures against the virus. 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.080 And I understand all you have to do is take 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.920 a look at some of the information, some of the photos, 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:59.120 and just anecdotal conversations with doctors. I mean, I've had 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.760 conversation with in some of the hospitals here, and they 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.800 will tell you that this is much worse. The meaning 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.760 that the virus is much worse than we were led 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:10.880 to believe, even even in a couple of weeks ago. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.280 Every day now, the more we know about this, the 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:20.440 more we realize it is very rapidly spread, is incredibly 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.880 dangerous to older people, but it is a it is 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:28.000 a dangerous adversary even to the immune system of relatively 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:32.280 healthy people. It can be if it goes badly, it 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.560 goes badly very quickly. So this is where we are. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:40.480 The discussion about the Constitution, the discussion about individual rights 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.600 that right now is being pushed aside. And if you 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:47.080 even if you even bring up any of the Bill 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:48.600 of Rights, if you even bring up any of the 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.720 freedoms that we're supposed to have under the Constitution, you're 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:56.000 essentially shouted down for being a murderer. So we have 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.000 somehow transitioned in much of the country. I know some 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.560 of you don't yet feel it as strongly, but give 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.600 it time. I mean, you better be. Even in a 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:10.000 state like that is generally a little more of a 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.040 conservative leaning state, you're going to have a lot of 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.400 policies if you don't already that just are you do 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.520 what the government says. You're just going to do what 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.640 the government says. There's no you know, you do not 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.600 get to say there is no vote. I understand, I 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.200 understand why we're being told this is necessary, and I 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.040 know that you know the horrible disease. We all understand 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.960 how painful it is for anybody who gets this and 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:39.040 people who are losing loved ones to this. But I 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.200 do think that there must be at least room for 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:46.680 a discussion, a reminder, if you will, that we're effectively 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.920 letting the government do whatever it wants at this point, 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:55.720 and that right now may feel like a necessity, but 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.680 and maybe it is a necessity, and you could discuss 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.440 this and argue that this, but it's also a precedent. 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.159 And how long does the government get to do this? 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.160 Where else does the government get to do this? Remember 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:11.359 that there are other issues that people view as saving lives, 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.520 and if you oppose them, you're opposed to saving lives. 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.399 That's the way. That's the way the left frames a 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.840 lot of things. Do you think that they're going to 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:22.800 stop now that we've all this one time succumbed to 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.000 being told you're just going to do this because the 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:26.399 government says so, you think this is going to be 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:30.919 the one and only time. I doubt it. You're in 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.520 the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.399 With all the talk of listening to the experts, I 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.280 have to tell you that I've been paying pretty close 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.800 attention to the experts as much as I can find 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:49.600 them all along here, and they've been wrong. Mostly I've 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.000 been focused on the leadership that's been wrong, and there's 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.680 been there have been people telling you go out live 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:58.480 your life, don't worry about it, it's fine. But now 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.080 we see that even some of the the medical advice 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.199 in the medical community. I shouldn't say the advice so 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:08.159 much as the assessments, but coronavirus may be contagious longer 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.200 than thought, even after the cessation of symptoms, it might 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:15.520 be transmittable. It seems to be much more transmittable, three 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:19.760 times as easily transmitted as the flu, which we weren't 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:24.200 really told initially, and certainly there was no they weren't 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:28.119 clear on that point. And it is dangerous even to 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.359 people outside of the age and not as dangerous, but 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.520 as dangerous people even outside of elevated risk of age 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:37.399 and other health issues. So they're still learning a lot 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.040 about this as we're making these massive decisions about what 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.639 to do with the country. Thanks for listening to The 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:46.879 Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:50.240 the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.800 Anyone who says this situation is in New York City 0:18:54.880 --> 0:19:00.919 only situation is in a state of denial. You see 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.159 this virus move across the state. You see the virus 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:08.399 move across this nation. There is no American who is 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:12.720 immune to this virus. I don't care if you live 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.679 in Kansas. I don't care if you live in Texas. 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:20.959 There is no American that is immune. What is happening 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:24.640 to New York is not an anomaly. There's nothing about 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:28.440 a New Yorker's immune system that is any different than 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:33.000 any other Americans immune system. So in many ways, New 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.240 York is just a canary in the coal mine. But 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:39.600 you see us going through here, you will see happening 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.720 all across this country. So here we have the governor 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:44.840 of New York saying that this is going to happen everywhere. Now, 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:47.000 some of what he says, or I think some of 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:51.120 what his intent is is true, and that is that 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:54.040 there is no difference obviously in the immune system of 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:58.800 somebody from New York versus somebody from Texas or Utah 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.600 or Montana, you name it, right, We're all We're all 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:03.720 the same human beings, we're all the same mutantism. Okay, fine, 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:05.640 but that's an obvious point, right. We don't really need 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:07.520 to be told that. We don't need that to be said. 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:10.400 So let's get to what is the dispute about, then, 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:12.080 because I know some of you listen to this, and 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:15.120 I try to be as aware of this as possible 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.600 as I'm talking to you, because New York is different 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:21.720 from other places around the country. New York is a 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:26.720 different circumstance than what you're dealing with really everywhere else. 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.200 So though, it is getting pretty bad, and there was 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:32.080 that one really horrible outbreak in Washington State early on, 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:38.600 and that's getting really bad in Florida, in New Orleans. 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.600 You know, look, it's heartbreaking everywhere that this thing is 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:45.879 getting bad. I mean, the realities here of what this 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.320 disease does to people, how quickly they're gone. I mean, 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:51.680 it's you read about this enough, and I'll be honest 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.480 with you, it's tough to it's tough to stave off 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:58.560 a little bit of a feeling of just I guess 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:01.120 you'd ever say, is just depressed from having to read 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.560 about this all day and be stuck inside. So you 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:07.720 all are a big help in that regard. It's really 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.600 tough to be locked away here and not really have 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:13.200 any contact with human beings, and yet I get to 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:15.159 speak to you all across the country, and that's one 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.040 thing that really makes me feel connected and keeps me going, 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:22.000 because otherwise it's it's just all coronavirus in the news 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:25.280 all day long. And this is my job, this is 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.679 my lively, this is what I do. I talk about 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:33.480 what's going on. I talk about the news. So Cuomo's 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:36.800 point here that we're all the same, is not an 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:41.200 easy one for people to miss, right, We're aware of that, 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:44.920 but I mean, our immune systems are all the same. 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:48.919 We get that. But okay, now, what really is he 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.720 saying or where is the disagreement? That disagreement is should 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:55.399 all these other states, should all these other states find 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.880 themselves in the same circumstance, or should they be taking 0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:01.840 really the same precaution as New York City? Or are 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:06.080 they allowed to our states allowed to make determinations for 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:09.280 what level of risk? Remember, level of risk is what 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:12.800 we're talking about with these different infections and or with 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:18.320 the possibility of infection, and level of risk is also 0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.400 going to be different for different places. Risk, though, does 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:24.720 translate at some number when you look at the aggregates 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:28.400 into infection, and infection will translate into some number of 0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.840 people who die from this. But do states get to 0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:34.960 And I feel like that's almost a controversial thing to 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:38.320 say these days, we're talking about risk mitigation for a virus. 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.240 I mean Anthony Fauci said that we might have a 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:43.360 rebound if we try to relax some of these at 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:47.399 some point in the future. So that clearly means that 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:49.399 we're going to make a determination. You have to make 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:54.480 a determination one day that there will be elevated risk, 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:59.000 that there will be an elevation of the possibility of 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:04.040 people getting this in order to achieve greater normalcy, economic activity, 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:06.480 and freedom and freedom of movement for for all the 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:09.240
