WEBVTT - The de Blasio Double Standard 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:15.560 You are entering the freedom hunt. De Blasio has a 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:20.000 double standard for gatherings of big groups. A Black Lives 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:23.640 Matter mural is painted outside Trump Tower, Seattle to defund 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:29.200 cops by fifty percent. Goya Foods CEO under fire. Will 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:33.680 the Biden debate actually happen? With Trump and Pompeo on TikTok? 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:37.519 Coming up? This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.800 mission or mission is to decode what really matters with 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:47.800 actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, great, great American Again. 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:53.279 The Buck Sexton Show begins from the CIA analyst. He's 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:59.960 a great guy. No, welcome, my friends to the Bucks 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.760 Exton Show. Thank you very much for being here, and 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.360 honor as always. Oh my, We've got so much to 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.679 get to today, and I know it's Friday, so it 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.840 feels like that show flies by. We'll get to your 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:15.360 voicemails later on. We'll have producer Mark joining in on 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.720 some of that fun. We've got a special guest for 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:19.840 you later on. Oh my gosh, so much coming up. 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.919 But I want to get right to what you're seeing. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:24.679 If you were to say, do what I did this morning, 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:30.000 I turned on CNN, and I know, I know you're thinking, Buck, 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.800 why you why you do this to yourself? Why do 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:39.320 you abuse your eyes and turn your brain into mush 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:40.920 first thing in the morning. Well, I do it so 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.040 that I can bring you the most up to date 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:46.840 and the most accurate assessment of what the LIB journals 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:51.160 are up to. And certainly you can tell right now 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:56.120 we're back to all out COVID panic all across the 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.200 country that if you are listening to the national news media, 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.240 you're supposed to just think, all right, let's just all 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.240 lock down again, let's just do this again, let's go 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:10.640 for it. And that for some of us, I can 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:15.560 understand if you're particularly frightened and you're at high risk, 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.520 as we've talked about so many times, if you want 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.040 to take precautions because things are bad in your area, 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.119 if you're a healthcare worker and you're worried about hospital capacity, 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.519 that's one thing. But now we're seeing the argument being 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.400 made that has to be national. You see, this is 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.560 what it's not just Oh, things are going badly in 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.440 Texas with COVID, or in Florida and they're setting records. 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.440 It's well, because it's going badly there, let's have everywhere 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.440 else locked down again, even in New York, where there 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.560 were nine people who died from COVID nineteen yesterday. In 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:50.840 the whole state, very very few new cases, Massachusetts very few, 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:55.480 New Jersey very few. No one really knows exactly what's 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.240 happening here, all right, all the people that are telling you, oh, 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.120 it's because we didn't do what the people told us. 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.400 It's all our fault. No, that's not true, all right. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.040 California has been on super lockdown, very strict for months 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.080 and months, and California's having spikes in cases too. It 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.200 seems that one possible interpretation of these events is that 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.960 there is an inevitable spread that happens once this gets 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.600 into a community, and unfortunately, it will burn through the 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.280 community at some level, and then it will move past it. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.160 So here in New York, because there were so many infections, 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.560 we may in fact be less susceptible, hopefully to a 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:39.680 repeat of such wide scale, broad spectrum and incredibly lethal infection. 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.240 But that same phenomenon, that same wave seems to be 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.880 hitting other places across the country now. It's clearly a 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.920 big issue in Arizona, in Texas and Georgia and Florida. 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.920 Months after the reopen. So we also don't really have 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.000 a lot of data, a lot of answers to this, 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.320 and I told you I would revisit this as as 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.960 new information came out. But remember we were told that 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.680 certain states needed to be an absolute lockdown when other 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:12.160 states weren't having a lot of cases. And now that 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.480 those states have already gone through the lockdowns, states that 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.400 didn't are now the justification to lockdown again for everyone else. Right, 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.400 So this is why we want national mask mandates national 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:30.320 this national no, absolutely not. This, as we know, is 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:36.560 a combination of bad policy, very politically obvious to me, 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.320 at least politically minded decisions with the election coming up. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:45.120 The President understands this, he told me in the Oval office. 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.320 I said it was the last thing we talked about 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.240 before I left us at President Trump. Mister President, please 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:56.839 no second lockdown. Push, don't freeze everything again and shut 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.520 down everything when we can't do that. And I know 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.640 that this ates have a large part of the decision 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.320 making here, but the federal government was really pushing states 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:10.279 as well and using its powers for a lockdown. The 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.440 President said he wouldn't do it. Here we are with 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:18.440 the latest from him on why even though yes there 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.440 are spikes and cases, and yes now it is additional hospitalizations, 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.000 and the death rate has gone up substantially in a 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:29.200 few of these states. It is still not the right 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.400 move to lockdown the country again. Still it is still 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:37.640 not the right move. Play clip seventeen. A policy of 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:42.200 never ending lockdowns month after month would ultimately do more 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:46.599 harm than good to public health and so bad for 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.560 our children. As we saved millions of lives, now it's 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.080 time to get back to work. A lot of people 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.000 were against those bands, and now they admit. Most of 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:59.159 those same people admit that band was the greatest thing 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:05.520 saved so many lives. Crucially, we realize that the health 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.760 of a nation's economy is fundamental to the health of 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.960 his people. In the last two months, we have begun 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:16.520 the fastest economic comeback in history. I hope the president 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.839 sticks to it on this, but it's also not entirely 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:23.360 up to him. Democrat governors will be viewed as heroes 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.359 by their own party. I mean, everyone knows what the 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.640 game is here, right. Even if you don't have a 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.159 lot of cases, you don't have a lot of deaths 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.640 from COVID nineteen in your state. In a lockdown for 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.839 a month or two, just just make sure that it's 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.880 impossible to get any real momentum before the November election. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.599 That that's what is motivating a lot of the decision 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.240 making right now. I think it's quite clear there's also 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:48.480 no honest discussion about, well, what are the new metrics. 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:53.799 Then if we're being told that this was about hospital capacity, 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.640 we can handle that. But no, now it's back to 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.120 crush the virus. There's this false narrative you're hearing of 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.719 some places crushed the virus. We didn't. America has been 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.360 bad at this, other places have been great. As if 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:10.240 we can't see the numbers per capita of countries around 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.200 the world. Western European nations very similar to ours in 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.560 a lot of regards, have had a much worse response 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.840 to this. The only exception would be Germany's about the 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.600 same as ours. Other Western European countries, large ones Italy, 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:27.640 the UK had far worse spread and lethality from this. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:32.040 And somehow there's also a theory out there now that 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.200 Democrat governors in places like New York and New Jersey 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:40.160 Cuomo and Murphy respectively did a great job with this, 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:44.920 when even with the spikes in Texas and Florida. Texas 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.800 and Florida have been far better so far in there, 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:51.400 it's not even close in their response to this. So 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:55.640 narrative is overtaking reality and facts. That much is for sure. 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.080 But you would also think that if you know, as 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.080 I was watching CNA, just they've got the ticker of 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.880 number of cases, number of people dying, and they just 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.520 have the only purpose that they'll go through all day 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.560 long is just look at how bad things are. Look 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.520 at how bad things are, look at how terrible things are. 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.640 Blamed Donald Trump. Blame Donald Trump. That's what you are 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.200 getting a dose of all day long. That's what they're 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:21.040 talking about. And wear a mask. Wear a mask. Even 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:22.920 though if you want, you can go and do a 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.080 quick search and maybe I should start posting some of 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:29.280 these on Facebook or something. You can see that the 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:34.040 most detailed and recent studies you can find on cloth 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:39.040 masks to prevent the spread of influenza range from we 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.200 can't prove any benefit to it might actually even be 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:46.720 worse to wear a cloth masks. There are people experts 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.319 who will say no, no no, no, wear a mask, wear 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.800 a mask, But when you actually look at the scientific 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.520 studies that have been done on this where they try 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.560 to prove what the theory. Remember the theories over one 0:08:55.600 --> 0:09:00.679 hundred years old, but no one really challenges it. It 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:04.400 makes people feel better. I think it's largely a psychological thing. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.560 Now people think, oh, masks healthy or safer. They want 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.760 to believe that. But and again, if you want to 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.600 wear a masks, go ahead. I don't have a problem 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.319 with anyone where and this I could be wrong. Maybe 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.040 it's you know, great, maybe it reduces virus transmission by 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.480 fifty percent. Why no study can show that. I'm curious, 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.079 but I have a problem with the mandates that are 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.400 going on. So you have that push to just make 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.000 America miserable again, which is what the Democrats are doing. 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.679 Make sure that this is this looks like it's ineptitude 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.160 from the federal government. Meanwhile, what are we supposed to do? 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.440 We all agreed it seemed as a society that the 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.600 lockdown has to be limited duration, and then we've got 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.400 to just go and learn to manage this and live 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.920 with it. And now we're forgetting that again. It's like 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:48.959 we never had that conversation as a country a few 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.920 months ago, and everyone's panicking and freaking out. But then 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.920 you have Democrats who show you also that they're entirely 0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:00.960 un serious about doing anything worthwhile while this is happening. 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:06.640 Build a Blasio, former Democrat presidential candidate. I don't think 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.960 he could even get one percent of the vote, but 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.600 he runs America's largest city, which, unfortunately, I am stuck 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:17.480 in during this whole nightmare of the pandemic. And you're 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.839 seeing this another city, these other states to Texas. You 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.120 guys have a lockdown now, right. I know this was 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.040 mostly a New York problem, and everyone said, oh, the subway, 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.920 the subway. No, it looks like it's a lot more 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.800 than just the subway that can lead to super spread 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:34.280 of this, unfortunately. But I mean that was just a 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.800 good guess. You know that everybody's sort of had because 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.160 that's where you have a huge concentration of people every day. 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.120 But really, I think the main areas, the worst thing 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:43.760 you can do is be indoors for a long period 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.240 of time with people, So family spread is a huge concern. 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:52.760 But you have Bill de Blasio taking this moment when 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.720 he is supposed to be a leader on the issue 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:00.160 of public health. Right, He's got eight million people think 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:04.079 about eight million people who this complete and income poop 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:08.720 gets to just make these determinations like like he's Caesar 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.360 or something. This is how it shall be by decree 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:15.559 of de Blasio. You know what, even yesterday spend the 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:20.920 day painting a mural of Black Lives Matter. And to 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.400 say it's a mural, I mean it's really just writing 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.679 in letters. I mean to call it a mural makes 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.920 it sound like it's an work of art. No, they're 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:33.400 painting a sign on the street on Fifth Avenue in 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.439 New York City, right outside of Trump Tower. Play clip 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:43.400 two Black Lives Matter. That's Black Lives Matter came the 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:49.600 United States America. So Donald Trump does not understand, let's 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.640 paint it right in front of it building. Not only 0:11:55.080 --> 0:12:02.640 is this abject buffoon doing this while Democrat talking points 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.760 across the country or that Trump has mishandled coronavirus and 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.840 we all need to be terrified again. Even though member 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:13.439 states were allowed to open open, reopen at their pace, 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.760 and they're not reopened, can we stop with this? They 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.240 have not. We still have restrictions. You still can't go 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.480 to the gym, you still can't go to you know, 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.800 sports games and stuff. I mean we're living at We're 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:31.439 continuing to get dragged through these restrictions and talk about 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.080 it like, oh, well, we went back to normal, and 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.040 this is what happens. No, we we started to go 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:36.800 a little bit back to normal. So what's the answer. 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:41.000 Never go back to normal? Hide and wait for a vaccine. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.880 We've always been told that's not the strategy. And then 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:47.720 the second that things get scary, they say hide and 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.600 wait for a vaccine, we go this is the cycle. 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.720 Oh no, we can't do that. We recognize how stupid 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.760 that is as a policy. Oh, COVID cases are spiking 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.160 in a place. Everybody hide, We gotta wait for a vaccine. 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.560 It's not hide for a week or a day's let's 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:08.360 let's give us another couple of months. De Blasio has 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:17.240 canceled events in New York City, has canceled them through September. Okay, 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:21.200 he will not allow street fairs, any large outdoor these 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:25.480 are outdoor activities. Now, those of us who are here, 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:29.520 and you know, you know that much of the media 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.600 narrative is determined in New York and then then it's 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:33.600 blasted out through the rest of the country because this 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.400 is the main place where the journos live mostly in Brooklyn, 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.640 but also on the Upper West Side and a couple 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.880 of other places in the city where the CNN anchors 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:45.679 and the HuffPo bloggers all congregate. But de Blasio has 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:50.599 canceled large outdoor events, and in what is really a perfect, 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:56.280 a perfect example of the double standards that we're supposed 0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:01.640 to choke down during this COVID pandemic, he was asked, 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:06.120 what about the big protests that are going on? I mean, 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.520 those are huge protests that are happening, and you know, 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.199 there was there was a piece yesterday. I mean, you 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:15.760 got you gotta just it's unbelievable. There was a piece 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.120 yesterday that said, I'm trying to find it exactly. Oh yeah, 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:23.200 protests may have spread coronavirus. Some cities admit this was 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:27.200 on Yahoo News. Responded, yeah, but they wore masks. They'd 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.480 wear masks still, sort of, what does the Blasi to 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.400 say about big protests. He's banning you in New York 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:37.040 from doing stuff so outside, what about the big protests? 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:41.160 Here's what he says, play five outdoor concerts and it 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.120 means things like parades. You know, things here in the 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.280 city can mean not just thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.520 of thousands of people. It's just not time for that. Now, 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.720 what about protests? If people want to march down Fifth Avenue, 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.080 are there gonna be allowed to do so? Look, wealth, 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.600 this is always an area of real sensitivity. If you're 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.200 just talking about health, we would always say, hey, folks, 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.480 you know, stay home if you can. But we understand 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.600 at this moment in history, people are talking about the 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:10.320 need for historic changes. I mean today in New York City, 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.600 you know, recognizing the power and the meaning of the 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.960 message Black Lives Matter, which we did in front of 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.280 Trump Tower today. This is an historic moment of change. 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.000 We have to respect that, but also say to people 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:26.240 the kinds of gatherings were used to the parades, the fairs, 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.200 we just can't have that while we're focusing on health 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.640 right now. So you you heard him say there's a 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:38.880 double standard here. This is political bias through the law. 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:44.040 I don't understand how this can't be illegal. You have 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:48.400 somebody this is viewpoint discrimination with state resources. It's exactly 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:52.000 what this is. And they through the historic moment Black 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.160 Lives Matter has already gone through this whole thing before 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.160 you know what, got better for people. You know what 0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:00.520 improved by be as a result of this movement? Nothing? Nothing, 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.600 Oh but it's a historic moment now, yeah, sure it is. 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:05.200 In six months, we'll look back and be like, what 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:10.600 were they even talking about, toppling statues, running around the street, looting, 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:15.640 lighting stores on fire, yelling at cops, defund police. Is 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.960 this is wrong? Oh, it's all about saving lives, It's 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.760 all about dealing with COVID until there's protests, and then 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.640 all of a sudden, Yeah, these protests are worth people 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.040 dying for. Is that what they're telling us dying from COVID? 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.880 It's protests aren't going to do anything worth anybody dying for. 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:40.960 I can assure you of that. You're in the freedom hunt. 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:48.200 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. In case it's 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:52.320 not bad enough that there's a Deblasio double standard, what 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.560 about the violence in the city that has gotten so 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:58.760 much worse. Forty percent or so up for shootings and homicides, 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.640 and no one can deny the city's gotten more violent. 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.440 It's much worse than it was. And he's out there 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:09.960 with people painting a side in the middle of the street. Yeah, 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.320 that's how we're going to conquer racism, and they did 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:13.959 it outside of Trump Tower. I mean, this is all 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:18.200 very obvious. It's just political, it's just nonsense. But here's 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.680 what he says about the violence that's going on in communities. 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.199 Play clip ten. Well, we're going to do immediately. The 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:27.320 NYPB is shifting deployments, moving officers where the need is greatest, 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.440 working with communities, and this is always the crucial part. 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.080 You can't just do it with police. Unique community leaders, clergy, 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.760 community organizations to come together. We are having a particular 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.280 issue in Harlem, and we've gathered community leaders from all 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.800 over Harlem who, in common cause this week are going 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.240 to be out there with the police shoulder to shoulders, 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.360 saying we're not going to allow this violence in our community. 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:50.000 The second piece is to get our court system up 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.119 and running. It's been at a very low speed. The 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.840 criminal justice system in the state is not fully functioning, 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.119 and that's creating a lot of problems. Even when police 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.639 arrest someone, the consequences aren't there. So we've got to 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.879 get that back up and running. And that's absolutely been 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.480 a victim of the coronavirus that we were missing. One 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.760 of the most important pieces of the equation. Let me 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:11.760 tell you what this moron is not telling you. They 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:13.520 got rid of cash bail in New York, so a 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:16.760 bail reform quote, bail reform means that people that can 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.080 make crimes get out basically right away. So it's not 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.399 about the court system not functioning it. They change the 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:25.000 court system like idiots, so that now it can't actually 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.959 do very much. And also undermining all of your cops. 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.040 You can have some event where you say you like 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.880 your cops. Guess what police force does not feel supported 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.520 in this city and a lot of other cities. Thanks 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.840 for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.679 subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:49.240 get your podcasts. Well, what's this really all about? Why 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.960 do we have murals being painted in and call it 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.159 a mural? I think is to aggrandize what's going on? 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:59.520 Why do we have signs, political slogans painted at public 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:03.760 expense in New York and San Francisco, in Washington, DC? 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.480 What's going on with all that? As we know, they'll 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:12.040 say that this is about coming to terms with our 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:17.960 past or confronting historical wrongs. But what it's really about 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:22.680 is Donald Trump and how much the Democrats hate him, 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.760 and how much they are seeking not only to defeat 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:31.040 him in the fall, but to drag, immiserate, and humiliate 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.439 all of his supporters as much as they possibly can 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.639 in the process. This was yesterday. I remember, We've got 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:43.919 a city with spikes of violence and shootings, and nationwide, 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:49.919 you have real concerns over this continuation of the spread 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:54.160 of COVID nineteen of coronavirus, and they're out there. Deblasio's 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.400 out there with Al Sharpton. Al Sharpton's there. I don't 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.879 think it's surprised to anybody painting this mirror outside of 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.879 Trump's house, right, because this is really all about Trump 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:08.240 for them. And you could say, wait, isn't that absurd? 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:11.159 Is yes, exactly, It's deranged, it's crazy. It doesn't make 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:16.520 sense to a normal person. But Deblasio made it personal yesterday, 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:21.119 made it clear what's really going on here? Playclip three wolf. 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.919 It was that's an important message. The people of this 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.360 city believe black lives matter, and we wanted to send 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.520 that message to our whole city, but to our whole nation. 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.719 And in fact, here was an opportunity for the president 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.640 United States to show respect for the fact that that's 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.119 what we value here. And what did he do? He 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.560 literally tweeted that writing Black Lives Matter on Fifth Avenue 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:45.240 would quote unquote denigrate the luxury of that avenue. That 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:49.600 is pure racism. That is acting like an acknowledgement of 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:54.560 the value of black people is somehow belittling, when in fact, 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.280 what we're trying to do is lift up people who 0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.960 have built this city and built America and haven't been 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.120 given their respect. And it can't just be words, well 0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:06.120 if it has to be actions. So we're taking resources 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:12.880 from our police department and putting it into youth programs. Yeah, 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:19.560 youth programs. That's going to stop people from murdering individuals 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:21.760 in broad daylight, including when they're walking with their six 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.400 year old daughter, which happened here in New York recently. 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.159 That's that's really going to stop it. Look, this is 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:34.320 just about egos between people in positions of leadership, right, Deblasio. 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:38.960 This guy's an egomaniac. It's amazing. He's not charming. I've 0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:43.080 never met a human being who is even vaguely intelligent 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:48.960 who likes Bill Deblasio, never including Democrats, and he has 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:52.760 this feud with Trump. Ultimately He also is bitter because 0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:56.000 he believes that a country that would elevate Donald Trump. 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:58.439 And this is true of many Democrats. Wherever you are 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:03.160 across the country right now, your Democrat mayor, or governor, 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:07.280 or member of Congress, whatever, trust me, they're all angry 0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:10.120 at this country. They think that America needs to be 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:16.560 punished for electing Donald Trump, and they're willing to help 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:18.919 make that punishment happen. They're willing to do whatever it 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:23.680 is they can, whatever they have to. And in case 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:27.240 you were wondering, to what extent is Deblasi are willing 0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:31.119 to go in order to make the case about He 0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:35.120 says Trump is being racist and all this stuff. This 0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:38.840 is about liberation. The mayor of New York said, there's 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:44.040 liberating the street. It's amazing play four. We need to 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.560 take this transcendent moment and get the most out of it. 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:50.439 But the President, rather than having a chance to acknowledge 0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:56.200 America's original sin, he literally made it worse by suggesting 0:22:56.240 --> 0:23:00.200 that honoring black people on Fifth Avenue, which some I'll 0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:04.440 make it less valuable or luxurious. I've got to tell 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:08.320 you people are outraged by that. But more importantly, they're 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:12.200 speaking out and folks today felt jubilant and triumphant. We 0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:15.800 were not denigrating Fifth Avenue. We were liberating Fifth Avenue 0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:19.439 by putting those crucial words right there in front of 0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:26.120 President Trump's building. The crucial words that are the name 0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:29.480 of a Marxist movement that seeks to destroy the nuclear 0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:34.240 family and create socialism in America, among many, many, many 0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:41.000 other policy issues that it openly takes. But see, he's 0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:45.320 a perfect example Deblasio is doing. He is putting on 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:48.760 a clinic of what the real purpose of the Black 0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:51.920 Lives Matter movement is. They call it black Lives Matter 0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:55.800 so that anyone who criticizes it, it's like they're saying 0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:59.280 they don't care about black lives. It's such a dishonest 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:04.120 orical trick. It's a trap. So they get to promote 0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:06.560 the movement and then we all say, well, hold on 0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:10.320 a second, but I disagree with the movement. You disagree 0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:14.679 with Black Lives Matter? Are you saying that those lives 0:24:14.760 --> 0:24:20.200 don't matter? Of course, no one saying that. Morons, right, 0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:25.720 total morons do this, But it works. It works somehow. 0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:29.639
