It's time, isn't it isn't 20 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: it time to reopen America. We don't have to belabor 21 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: the point about how we never should have shut down anyway. 22 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I've driven that point home to you 23 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: plenty of times. Let us look forward, let us move forward. 24 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: It is time the American people, people in general, but 25 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: definitely not Americans. We were not made to stay locked away. 26 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: That's not who we are. And that doesn't mean just 27 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: on a DNA level, Americans are superior to other people. 28 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: I mean we are, but that's another story entirely. The 29 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: truth is each culture is different. In America, we have 30 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: a unique culture. And what is a culture. It's what 31 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: your society values. Right, if you grow up, it is 32 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: some kind of culture where everybody, you know, they value 33 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: a misshape and head. There have been cultures like that 34 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: throughout history. Then they'll tie little bands around your head 35 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: and misshape your head. Sounds totally weird to us, right, 36 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: totally foreign. In some cultures, that's normal. Some cultures don't 37 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: really value manners person on person manners that much. Some 38 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: people value a lot of close personal contact. You see 39 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: this in places like Italy, which is actually really sad. 40 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: It hurt them a lot when it comes to coronavirus. 41 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: In America, part of our culture is rebellion Let's just 42 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: be honest. That's our culture. That's what we were founded on, 43 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: and we're not. If you look at it through the 44 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: lens of history that far removed from that, it's passed 45 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: down from generation and generation. You can argue a lot 46 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: of it has faded away, and clearly it has when 47 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: you look at how many Americans have just gotten on 48 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: their knees for the government during this time. But part 49 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: of our culture is rebellion. We don't like people telling 50 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 1: us what to do, and we don't like being told 51 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: stay inside, shut your mouth, close your business, and never 52 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: work again. Even if you could make the argument we 53 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: were supposed to have done it for a while, we 54 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: all agree. Now. I mean, you see the protests going 55 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: on out there. A while's over, which is why I 56 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: always thought these arguments you'd get these arguments from that 57 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott guy Bill Gates has said things like this, 58 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: of well, we're not. We can't get back to normal 59 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: until there's a vaccine. It's probably going to be fourteen 60 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: to eighteen months. Honestly, those were the ones that made 61 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: me laugh out loud. Fourteen to eighteen months. Americans couldn't 62 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: stay inside for fourteen to eighteen months. If you promised 63 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: them that as soon as they walked outside and asteroid 64 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: was going to slam it in the earth and vaporize 65 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: us all, it's not humanly possible. You might as well 66 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: prescribe that everybody grow wings and fly, So it was 67 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: never gonna happen. However, we have a situation now, we 68 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: have these governors, these various states that are going to 69 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 1: start opening things back up, and it's the right move. 70 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: It is. We have to stand with them because here's 71 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: what you're about to see. And there everybody watching knows 72 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: I'm right. You're about to see these governors open up 73 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: their states. Okay, you know when it's time for Georgia. 74 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you Georgia's governor in a second. It's 75 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: time for Georgia to get back to business, and we're 76 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: gonna praise them, and businesses are gonna start opening up 77 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: and people are gonna feel out what they're comfortable with. 78 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: People are still scared, and that's fine, they'll they'll you 79 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: don't get their footing. But every single state, especially states 80 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: run by Republicans, that opens back up for business, the 81 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: media is going to descend on that state like a 82 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: pack of wild dogs to rip them to shreds. Every 83 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: time there's a new coronavirus case. Look at this guy 84 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: did this is basically his fault. We saw a spike. 85 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: Did you see the spike? There's definitely been a spike. 86 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: We have to stand with these governors. Even if you're 87 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: somebody on the right who has maybe gotten a little scared. 88 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: Maybe you're still a little scared. I'm not here to 89 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: pound on you tonight. Now is the time. Buck up, buttercup, 90 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: pull yourself up by your bootstraps. It is time to 91 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: stand with Republicans as they open America back up again. 92 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: We've given way too much leeway to the left on this. 93 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: That stops now. Here's Governor Kemp of Georgia. Given the 94 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: favorable data, enhanced testing and approval of our healthcare professionals, 95 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: we will allow gems, fitness centers, bowling alleys, body art studios, barbers, cosmatologists, 96 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: hair designers, nail care artists has decisions their respective schools 97 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: and massage therapists to reopen their doors this Friday, April 98 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: the twenty fourth. Unlike other businesses, these entities have been 99 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: unable to manage inventory, deal with payroll and take care 100 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 1: of administrative items while we shelter in place. This measure 101 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: allows them to undertake baseline operations that most other businesses 102 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: in the state have maintained since I issued the shelter 103 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: in place order. This measure will apply statewide and will 104 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: be the operational standard in all jurisdictions. This means local 105 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: action cannot be taken that is more or less restrictive. 106 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: One has to hand it to the sign language guys 107 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: at these things underrated performers if you ask me, and 108 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: good for Governor Kemp. Good for Governor Kemp. Let's stand 109 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: with him. Let's stand with all the governors who make 110 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: this decision. We cannot just destroy a twenty twelleon dollar economy. Yes, 111 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: we've made mistakes, mistakes we are going to feel for years, 112 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: but the time has come to move forward. Treasury Secretary 113 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: Steve Anuchin says we'll be back in months. I think 114 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: it will be months. I definitely don't think it will 115 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: be years. We are going to conquer this virus. We 116 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: are going to have terrific breakthroughs. I know, both not 117 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: just on the testing but on the medical up front. 118 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: We begin to have virals. I think there's things that 119 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: are being developed for vaccines, which will take a little 120 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: bit longer. But one of the things we heard is 121 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: people want testing. People also will react very positively that 122 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: they know if they get this disease there will be 123 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: medical treatments available as well. Okay, I mean that's not true. 124 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: We're not coming back in months, not fully anyway. It'll 125 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: take years to recover from what we've already done. Let's 126 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: just clarify that. However, I don't have a problem with 127 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: the Treasury Secretary saying that you want to be sunny, 128 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: you want to be optimistic, Give America a bit of 129 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: an atta boy, get back out there and get them champ. 130 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: No issue there, Well a new issue. Donald Trump is 131 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: officially about to halt all immigration quote in light of 132 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: the attack from the invisible enemy, as well as they 133 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: need to protect the jobs of our great American citizens. 134 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: I'll be signing an executive order to temporarily suspend immigration 135 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: into the United States. And who, well, that's not controversial. 136 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: Of course you're going to do that when you have 137 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 1: thirty million Americans already out of work. Yes, the Left 138 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: made a big deal out of it as racist. It 139 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: can't do that when you have a pandemic like this, 140 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: and your economy is going into the toilet. You gotta 141 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: look out for Americans first and foremost. One might even say, 142 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: as radical as this is, you should always look out 143 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: for Americans first. I know, I know, I'm not trying 144 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: to be controversial. Nancy Pelosi maybe the worst party spokesman 145 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: in American history. She has some thoughts. Yeah, so right 146 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: now we're in those own negotiations, my staff and the 147 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: staff of mister a leader humor that spoke as Secretarymunution yesterday, 148 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: and we'll do so again today. We want to again 149 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: for support what we did with it PP, but we 150 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: want to make sure of that as it gets more money, 151 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: it gets many more people get access to the credit. 152 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: There have been some questions to ask about the money 153 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: Baby committed, but we haven't. Many of us have not 154 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: received it. So that's all that's say. Back to a 155 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: chairwoman less close saying we want we want the data. 156 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: Sounds like she's doing well. Nancy Pelosi famously now went 157 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: on television the other night and she was trying to 158 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: do this, you know, connect with the people type think 159 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: of funny bit and there's something so critical in life 160 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: and something I want you all to understand. This goes 161 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: beyond just reopening America. It goes beyond politics. This goes 162 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: for the left, for the right, for everybody. I'm about 163 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: to give you some helpful information. Pay attention. Learn to 164 00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: read the temperature of the room. Learn to read the 165 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: temperature of the room. That's important. What I mean by 166 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: that is, when it's a funeral, maybe not the time 167 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: to try out your new comedy routine. When somebody just 168 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: gets fired in the office, maybe not the time to 169 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: loudly proclaim that you just got promoted. And when thirty 170 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: million Americans are out of work, when you have food 171 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: banks running out of food, you have empty freezers, probably 172 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: not a great time to go on a late night 173 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: TV show. I believe it was late night. Who cares, 174 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: no one watches it anyway, stand in front of your 175 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: allegedly twenty four thousand dollars fridge and brag about your 176 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: luxury ice cream collection. That is bad timing. That's what 177 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: she did. Well. The Trump campaign, because they are really 178 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: really good at this, grabbed it and we turned out 179 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: of that three fifty billion dollar fund to help small 180 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: businesses and its workers get through the shutdown. It will 181 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: be up to Congress to restock it, but Democrats blocking 182 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,599 Speaker 1: that move. This morning they asked for a quarter of 183 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: a chillion dollars in forty eight hours. I should well, 184 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so, they objected, and I 185 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: congratulate the Senate Democrats speak, what are you going to 186 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: share with us from your home? Chocolate? Candy? Thousands have 187 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: been forced to wait for hours at food banks all 188 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: across the country. This is oh chocolate, and then we 189 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: have some other chocolate here. We just got to restock 190 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: the ice cream. You don't want to eat a bear 191 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: at day now at one time. I can't do it 192 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: much longer. I'm trying so hard, do we say, enjoying 193 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: having to admit that, yeah, we're starving, and I like 194 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: it better than anything else. Taking this segment, there are 195 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: twenty two million people out. This specific program is about 196 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: stocking job losses today. Other people in our family though 197 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: for some other flavors, but not it's survivable. You don't 198 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: know where to nake something else about come from. I 199 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: don't know what I would have done if we're not invented. 200 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: I just wonder, m m hmmm. Savagery all right, we 201 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: got the great buck Sexton coming up next. Thing. Everybody 202 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: knows and loves him. He's Buck Sexton of the Buck 203 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show, which you can watch right here on the 204 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: first So allow me to welcome Grizzly Adams buck net work. 205 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: They're in a bit of a trouble, a bit of 206 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: a pickle right now, because look, I mean, everybody like 207 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: me down here in Houston and Texas most of the 208 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: country can talk about reopening the economy fairly easily. I mean, 209 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: it's not a problem. There's not a big outbreak here. 210 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: You are at the epicenter of where there is an outbreak, 211 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: and Americans are dying, dying by the thousands. You're stuck inside. 212 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: What are you seeing? What's the pandemic? Like? What's the 213 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: economy going to be? Like? How does New York begin 214 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: to tackle this? I can talk about opening up Houston, 215 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: opening up New York City is a whole different ballgame. 216 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: What do you what do you see it? So the recognition, 217 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: I think is slowly beginning to seep in here, Jesse, 218 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: that our climb out of this just like the as 219 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 1: you pointed out, it's much worse here than it is 220 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: anywhere else in the country, really, anywhere else in the 221 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: world at this point. I don't know what's really going 222 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: on in China. But if you look at the New 223 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: York numbers, New York City because of population density, because 224 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: of I mean, I'm a big believer in the theory 225 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: that the subway played a huge role in the spread 226 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: of this very rapid and very unfortunately efficient spread of 227 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: this virus. And then you have a lot of multigenerational 228 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: families as well, and then pile that pile on top 229 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: of all that, you have a deeply incompetent city government 230 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: that has been wrong and has been really irresponsible and 231 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: just dumb at every stage of this. If you're asking 232 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: what the economy looks like now, I mean I walk around. 233 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: Grocery stores are open. Some occasional restaurants you'll see are 234 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: doing takeout, But I'd say the number of restaurants now 235 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: that are open, and remember New York is a city 236 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: of restaurants. I mean, this is it's a huge part 237 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: of the economy here, the service economy. I'm actually in Midtown. 238 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: I'm close to Times Square, so anybody who's visited you 239 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: kind of know what my neighborhood is. I'm right in 240 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: the middle of it. I'm right in the thick of it, 241 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: and Jesse, I'd say one in I don't know. I 242 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: was gonna say one in twenty. It might gave me 243 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: one in fifty restaurants right now that I see are 244 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: open in any capacity. I mean, it's a very small number. 245 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: Let's say one in twenty. So I'd say five percent 246 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: of the restaurants that I'm seeing in my neighborhood are open. 247 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: And people keep assuming that the money's gonna flow and 248 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: that everything's gonna come back and get turned on. No, 249 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: that they're missing. They're missing. What the even when I 250 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: say long term, sixty days from now, restaurants are going 251 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: to be wiped out. They're not opening again. That's what 252 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: I think people don't understand. And it's not just the 253 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: restaurant buck. Why don't they understand it? Because I have 254 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: to be honest, and you and I've talked offline about this. 255 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: I mean, look, even within the Trump administration, I see 256 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: a lot of really smart people, a lot of really 257 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: accomplished people. A businessman here, and bank are there, and 258 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: they talk about the economy in ways that is not 259 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: reality at all. Are people just once you get to 260 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: that level of success it's not as if you get dumb, 261 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: but are you really just so far removed from what 262 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: an actual small business goes through that you can't wrap 263 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: your minds around it. The way people talk about businesses, 264 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: it's like they think everybody's McDonald's and Google and woll 265 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: I mean just a couple months, It's fine, we'll shell 266 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: out a few more big Max ain't no biggie. Yeah. 267 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: I think that for a lot of people who even 268 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: those who do work in the private sector and for 269 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: the private economy, what you end up finding out, what 270 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: enim seeing is that they're used to that Google McDonald's, 271 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: the Kola mentality, right Facebook of well, it's a big company, 272 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: and you know there's contractions, goes up, it comes down, 273 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: but like there's kind of always it's always gonna be there. 274 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: There's always going to be more money. And they don't 275 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: really understand what does it mean when you're running a 276 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: business that has bills, that has expenses and there is 277 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: no there is zero money, there's a checking account with 278 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: a zero balance. What does that mean? It means people 279 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: get fired and people don't have money to pay their 280 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: bills at home, And that's where I think there's a 281 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: big separation. And there's also look, let's be honest, there's 282 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: a class and I would even saying, say an educational 283 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: separation that's happening here where you have a lot of 284 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: urban college and even you know, advanced degree educated folks 285 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: who are more easily able to work from home, more 286 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: easily able to transport their work product, and including to 287 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: the Hamptons by the way, you know, Cuomo and all 288 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: these other people that are telling the brother are not 289 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: the governor, although both. And then you have folks who work, 290 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: they have to show up to a place, do a 291 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: service for other human beings, do a job with their 292 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: hands and their physical being present, and they're completely out 293 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: of luck, and they're being told still by the BuzzFeed 294 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: warriors on their couches out in Park Slope, stay home, peasant. 295 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: That's going to get really, really dangerous for our society 296 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: here because the economic devastation that we're going to face 297 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: is not going to be something that you just turned 298 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: back around. And that's what they don't understand. Buck. I'm 299 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: glad to use that word, and I've been hesitant to 300 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: use it because I'm not sure of a responsible way 301 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: that I need to start using this word dangerous. And 302 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: what I mean by that is there's always this disconnect, 303 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: and there's always a left versus right disconnect, and there's 304 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: always some kind of a class disconnect and a rural 305 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: versus urban disconnect. That's the stuff that exists. But now 306 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: when you have people, I mean Congress. Honestly, Buck, I 307 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: was legitimately worried for the safety of members of Congress 308 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: when I saw they were passing a bill with pork 309 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: in it, when people were dying. People were out there. 310 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: Not only are they dying, they're standing in food bank 311 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: lines that are running out of food. People are starving 312 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: in America, and we still can't get some messaging to 313 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: these people in DC. Stop talking down to people, Stop 314 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: scolding everybody that wants to go back to work. I 315 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: genuinely worry about outbreaks of violence. And as much as 316 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: I love arguing politics, that's the last thing in the 317 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: world I want. And I'm worried about it, man, I am. 318 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: There's so much anger and fear out there. I'm worried 319 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, and the condescension. Remember that the government 320 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: has told these people, the people that are in line 321 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: in Houston, I saw that line over the four thousand cars. Jesse. 322 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: The condescension from those who not only still have jobs 323 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: but also have elevated platforms to make their case for 324 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: the rest of the country about this, telling people, oh, 325 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 1: just stay home, watch Netflix and eat ice cream. Well, 326 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: guess what for people that have no money in the bank, 327 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: this is a terrifying situation. Their livelihoods have been taped, remember, 328 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: taken from them. It's not like, oh, this is just 329 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: a natural occurrence in the business cycle. The government has 330 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: said you stay home, which means you are now under 331 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: house arrest with no money. And this is where it 332 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: gets a little tough because I know people don't like 333 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 1: to hear this because there is so much unfair criticism 334 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: of the Trump administration that's being thrown out there, and 335 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: I'm batting that down all the time, But there is 336 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: some fair criticism when you're looking Jesse at ninety five 337 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: percent of small businesses didn't get any money out of 338 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: the first trunch for this PPP program, got no money. 339 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: I know people friends of mine, I know people that 340 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: I'm related to that we're applying for money in this 341 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: program for their businesses and they were told, sorry, no 342 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: room at the end for you. How do they miss 343 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: this mark by three hundred and something billion dollars now 344 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: in the first few weeks. This is where the other 345 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: part of this Jesse. Yeah, I'm scared because of people 346 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: recognize people are now dealing with the real consequence. Remember, 347 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: the longer we wait, the worst this yet. Right, The 348 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: longer we wait, the more the economic devastation is apparent 349 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: to us. But then you also have this other layer 350 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: of the money we are spending now is mind boggling. 351 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're they're treating this is our government, 352 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: and I know it spends too much money in ten 353 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: thousand dollars pentagon, toilet seats and all that stuff. Fine, 354 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: but Jesse, one hundred two hundred, three hundred billion dollars 355 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: being spent like you know, NBD, this is insane. No 356 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: financial system is going to be able to sustain this. Otherwise, 357 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: why government pay? Why do we even work, Jesse? We 358 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: can just have the government pay us both a million 359 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: dollars tomorrow. And not only that buck. They're not only 360 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: spending it, they're spending it at a time where there's 361 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: nothing coming in. You're not only you're not only spending 362 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: more than you've ever spent, You've shut off the spickeot 363 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: of money coming in. I've been screaming about this people 364 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: pretend like and somebody said this. It was a John 365 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: Cora and a senator, a Republican senator from my state 366 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: of Texas. Today, if we don't have time, we can't 367 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,479 Speaker 1: worry about a debt or deficits when we're dealing with 368 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: something like this. Do people not understand what happens when 369 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: a financial system collapses? Do they not understand what happens 370 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: when the value of your currency collapses. It is a 371 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 1: world of pain. You would pray for coronavirus over the 372 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: collapse of the dollar. And yet right now we still 373 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: have the hardline partisan divide between isn't it stunning? This 374 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: shouldn't be this really shouldn't be about politics. It should 375 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: be about how we do the best for the most 376 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: possible of our fellow Americans, protect them from the virus 377 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: as best we can. We'll also understand there is no 378 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: zero virus future. And I think that's also it was 379 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: all lockdown, stay home, peasants, shut off, listen to the experts. Okay, 380 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: well now we've done that, and guess what. Everyone's starting 381 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: to look at this and say we're gonna have to 382 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: reopen and go back out in the world. There are 383 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: people going to play politics with this. There was always 384 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: going to be virus risk, and I remember I was 385 00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 1: saying this early days, and I actually Jesse, I mean, 386 00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 1: I just washed my hands of it for a couple 387 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: of days on Twitter and trying to make the case 388 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: because you get tired of being told you want grandma 389 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: to die all the time. But those morons now face 390 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: the reality of what this country is actually going through, 391 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,239 Speaker 1: which is economic devastation that you and I have been 392 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: talking about it all along, and we can't actually do 393 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: this hide under the bedroutine much longer because the effects 394 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: of it will be worse than a virus that if 395 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: we're looking at what this urology tests have already told 396 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: us and what it looks like, it's going to be 397 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: less than one percent of a fatality rate probably point 398 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: five or point three, which is high across an entire 399 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: US population. But do you shut down the entire country 400 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: and definitely for that that we're back to that question now, 401 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: and I think people are starting to feel differently about it. 402 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton of the Buck Sexton Show, That's why you 403 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: can see him right here on the first Buck, appreciate you, 404 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: my man. Stay safe. Can you have me on again 405 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: to talk about stakes or something fun? Sometimes by the way, 406 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: I feel like I just bloom and doom your entire audience. 407 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: But you know what, Buck, you know what, I'm going 408 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: to hit up the production staff and we're doing it 409 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: right here tonight on our Reopen the Economy special. You 410 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: and I are gonna sit and just gab this Sunday. 411 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: We're gonna do another one of those things where we 412 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: just kick back and talk about lighthearted stuff and sit 413 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: bourbon on TV. We're doing it this Sunday, and you 414 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: will make jokes that get me in trouble. Thank you, jessep. 415 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: Let's be well, Buck, all right, we're gonna talk about 416 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: the stock market, what's it doing, what's economy doing, what's 417 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: small business doing? With Carol Roth hang on joining me 418 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: now is the great Carol Roth of the Roth Effect Podcast. 419 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: We have a bunch of really weird stuff happening this week. 420 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: We have the stock market going up and then back down, 421 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: and up and back down. But there are thirty million unemployed. 422 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: How does that even happen? And then yesterday, let everybody 423 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: starts texting me about oil this, oil that, and I 424 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: see that oil is trading at negative forty dollars. I 425 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: don't have any idea what that means. But you don't 426 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: have to understand what things mean if you have smart 427 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: friends who do, which is why I bring on Carol Roth. Carol, 428 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: how does something trade at negative I'm not a stuck wizard, 429 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: but that doesn't seem possible. So I'm going to steal 430 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: somebody else's line and say I'm not going to drill 431 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: down too far on the oil stuff, because it does 432 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: get a little bit technical so to s big. But 433 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: when oil is traded, it's traded in contracts that expire, 434 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: and the crude oil also has storage costs. So basically 435 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: what they're saying is that there's not enough demand out 436 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: there for to be worth us to store the cost 437 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: of this product. And so that's why you have to 438 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: actually pay someone to take the contract off of your hands. 439 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: And this is why people should not invest in things 440 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: that they don't understand. And when my Twitter's blow up 441 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: with everybody telling me that they are going to either 442 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: buy or sell oil, like just welcomed all of the 443 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: new oil trading experts to Twitter, Okay, Now, look the 444 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: beauty of that is I don't pretend to be an expert, 445 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: but shouldn't I buy a negative forty dollars or is 446 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: that stupid? So you really have to look out and say, 447 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: what do you think is going to happen? It takes 448 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: when you have the crude oil, it obviously needs to 449 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: be refined and distributed to become gasoline. Then there are 450 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: taxes and their cost of operating gas stations. Then there's 451 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: demand at the pump right now if people are still 452 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: locked in their homes. So this is a very large 453 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: supply and demand equation with some fixed costs underneath it. 454 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: And this is why I always say if you don't 455 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: invest in or if you don't understand something, don't invest 456 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: in it, because there are a lot of things that 457 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: go into the equation. And it also takes about six 458 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: weeks on average for whatever's happening in with the market 459 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: and supply demand to work gets way to the pump. 460 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: So it's a very difficult calculation. It's why we have 461 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: experts to do this for a living. Okay, so what 462 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: should I be doing when it comes to the market 463 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: right now? Because it's doing this thing hero and I 464 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: don't know what any of that means, but I know 465 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: that doesn't seem very certain what should I be doing? 466 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: So I can tell you what I did. And obviously 467 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: this is not investment advice for everybody, because obviously everybody's 468 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: situation is specific. But we just bought what's considered protection 469 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: on our portfolio. We think that the market is overvalued 470 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: and that there is a lot more risk to the 471 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: downside than there is opportunity to the upside. So we 472 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: bought something that's called an option, and we are using 473 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: the option as a hedge against our portfolio that if 474 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 1: the market goes down, that we have the protection against that. 475 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: I am very concerned that the market's delusional and is 476 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: not going to price in all of their wreckage that 477 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: is to come down the pike. But I could be wrong, 478 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: and that's why I used an option strategy. But talk 479 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: to your financial advisor and see if that's a strategy 480 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: that might make sense for you. Honest question. I was 481 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: a little bit lost the day we had the worst 482 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: unemployment numbers we've had since the Great Depression and the 483 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: stock market went up. I was having a hard time 484 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: merging those two worlds. Why does the stock market go 485 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: up on a day with bad news like that. Explain 486 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: that to me, all right, So there are two important 487 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: things to understand and take away here. First of all, 488 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 1: the stock market is not the economy. It's a proxy 489 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: for certain pieces of the economy, and the trading is 490 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: never perfectly reflective of what is happening or what is 491 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: It's just a best guess about what's going to happen 492 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: in the future. So that's one thing you need to understand. 493 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 1: The second thing is that we've had the Federal Reserve 494 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: playing all kinds of games. They took interest rates down 495 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: to zero. They're in the market buying different kinds of securities, 496 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: and this has an impact on the valuation of the market. 497 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: It's supposed to help boost the market, I think unfairly, 498 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: and it's part of the reason why I think that 499 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: the market is currently potentially overvalued. And then I hedging 500 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: that risk does not make sense fundamentally to me as 501 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: somebody who has been in and watching and participating in 502 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: markets for two and a half decades, So I would 503 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: say be very wary of it, because sometimes with all 504 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: these outside factors and circus is going on, the market 505 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: gets it wrong and the short run, but it does 506 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: figure it out in the long run, and that's what 507 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: we have to be concerned about. Back to the oil thing, briefly, 508 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: explain to me how I keep having people tell me 509 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: that this was really separate from coronavirus. The coronavirus contributed 510 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: to this whole oil bottoming out, but that was not 511 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: the main factor. Is that true? For one? And if 512 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: it is true, what are they talking about? Well, there 513 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: are a lot of things that are going on. So 514 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: you know, first of all, everything comes back to supply 515 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: and demand. The United States has become a huge producer 516 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: of oil and so we have contributed to the world supply, 517 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: so that means when there is more supply against constant demand, 518 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: prices will go down. And the other side that the 519 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: demand equation for oil based products has been going down 520 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: part of the green movement, So you had those dynamics 521 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: in place. But to say the coronavirus doesn't play in 522 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: is insane. The reality is is that people are locked 523 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: in their houses, they're not getting in their cars, they're 524 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: not driving anywhere going to work. So obviously that decreases 525 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: demand and has a huge impact on it. So it's 526 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: not certainly the only factor. In there, and we've set's 527 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: why we've seen lower oil prices, you know, before this, 528 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: But at the same time, a couple of months ago 529 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: oil was still like sixty five dollars a barrel. And 530 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: I would expect you will continue to see volat hility, 531 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: which means going up and down and up and down. 532 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: Lots of fluctuations in that market. And it's why I 533 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: don't spend a lot of my time personally focused on it. Carol. 534 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: I keep getting these reports. I mean, people are sending 535 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: me emails as small businesses are closing across America. I 536 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: see these unemployment numbers going up, and I don't understand 537 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: how that's humanly possible. When Congress passed the bill and 538 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: hand it out all this money, didn't that take care 539 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: of all of our problems? So it makes me want 540 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: to put my head through the wall. Obviously, the underlying 541 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: intention of something called the Cares Act was to plug 542 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: emergency relief into these businesses that the government has said 543 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: you must shut down and people you cannot go to work, 544 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: and in some cases you cannot patronize these businesses. So 545 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: it should have been to plug the gap. Of course, 546 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: Congress being Congress didn't do that and decided to dole 547 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: out money to everybody and their brother. The ones that 548 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: made me the most crazy were the university who have 549 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: already gotten paid for their semesters, have lower costs, and 550 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: in many cases of I highlighted Harvard has a almost 551 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: forty one billion dollars at last count endowments. They are 552 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: basically a hedge fund masquerading as a university. So the 553 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: fact that they're getting nine million dollars in aid while 554 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,719 Speaker 1: of the two trillion dollar package, less than seventeen percent 555 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: of that was going to small business, which is half 556 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: of the economy, makes no sense. So it was set 557 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: up to fail from the beginning. And then for the smallest, 558 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: most vulnerable businesses, the fact that they had to go 559 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: jump through these hoops with the banks, well banks, what 560 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: are they going to do. They're going to service their 561 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: biggest and their best customers. You can't blame them for 562 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: doing that. They have those relationships. But that means that 563 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: the smaller guy John's taco truck or carries hairstyling service, 564 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: the ones that are the most vulnerable, who actually need 565 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: the capital and need to plug this gap, are going 566 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: to be left out in the cold. Once again. We 567 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: all knew this was coming. It has come, and you know, 568 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: either they're going to have to put in more money 569 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: or businesses are going to close. Both outcomes are bad. 570 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: They should be taking this money back from the Kennedy Senator, Centator, 571 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: the national Demo, from the arts, the universities, all that 572 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: money should be taken back and given to small business. 573 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: Carl Roth The Roth Effects Podcast. That's what you get. People, 574 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: Go listen. Appreciate you, Carol, Appreciate you too, Jesse. We 575 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: got more show awesome stuff. Hang on. There are a 576 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: few things I love more than watching an American citizen 577 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: pushback against a crappy politician. And with that, allow me 578 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: to welcome in attorney Mark Garrigos, who is suing the 579 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: mayor of Los Angeles. Mark, thank you for joining me. 580 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: Why are you suing a mayor of LA Well, he's 581 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: in his infinite wisdom, without any scientific basis, he's decided 582 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: to uniformly not just close all non essential businesses, but 583 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: close the beaches, closed, the golf courses, closed by virtually 584 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: anything and everything, without any basis upon whichsoever, so in 585 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: order to collect on business interruption insurance, your other favorite industry, 586 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: which is probably the insurance industry. We've had to sue 587 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: both the mayor and the insurance industry to try to 588 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: get them to admit that this thing is a business 589 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: interruption and that they ought to pay for it. One 590 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: or the others can have to pay now. Hold on, 591 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: the insurance industry was trying to claim this wasn't a 592 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: business interruption? Are you serious? Not only that, but let 593 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: me give you a little late breaking news. I filed 594 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: for deck relief, which is declaratory relief, telling the judge, judge, 595 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: you've got to decide this because one where the mayor 596 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 1: is saying that this is a pandemic, the insurance company 597 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: is saying that it isn't you decided. So the insurance 598 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: company didn't like the fact that we had sued for 599 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: declaratory relief, so they sued the law firm this morning. 600 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: If you can believe that we pay them for decades, 601 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: we asked them to take care of business interruption, and 602 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: Travelers decides to not only sue, but on an earnings 603 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,720 Speaker 1: call make a claim that this is how they protect 604 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: their insurance mark. I've asked this question and I'm so 605 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: thrilled you're here today because I genuinely want to know 606 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: the answer. It just became sadly universally accepted across the country, state, local, 607 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: federal level of everybody, just assuming the government actually had 608 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: the authority to point their finger in your face and 609 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 1: say go home and stop earning a living. And I've 610 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: asked this question repeatedly, I can't seem to get an 611 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: answer from anybody. How is that legal? How is it 612 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: legal for the mayor of LA to order anybody to 613 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: go home and stop earning a living. This is really unprecedented. 614 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: There's never been a situation where they've where they've quarantined 615 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: virtually everybody, whether you're sick or not sick, whether they've 616 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: decided one way or another without any scientific basis. Remember, 617 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: less than three weeks ago, we weren't supposed to wear masks. 618 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: Now we're supposed to wear masks. Less than three weeks ago, 619 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: this couldn't be transmitted through the air. Now, less than 620 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: three weeks ago, we were talking about antibodies or whether 621 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: or not that whether we were immune, whether there was 622 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: herd immunity. Now they don't know. In California specifically, they 623 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,439 Speaker 1: keep claiming, well, it's been victory because we've flattened the curved. 624 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: I think that there's just as much evidence that coronavirus 625 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: had already come through California months ago, and we had 626 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: developed the antibodies then, and that's why you don't have 627 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: the same reaction that you do in New York and 628 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: other hotspots. None of this is based on science, unfortunately, 629 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,280 Speaker 1: all of this is just based on political kind of 630 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: the idea of pandering, political pandering. I have heard what 631 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,839 Speaker 1: you just said from multiple of my friends who live 632 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: in California. Can you walk me through that. Why do 633 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: you think it came through California? What are you talking about? Well, 634 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 1: for one thing, we had back in late November December 635 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,760 Speaker 1: and going into January one of what people were calling 636 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: one of the worst and most severe flu seasons of 637 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:42,280 Speaker 1: all time, and people have at the time didn't associate 638 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: it with the coronavirus. Mind you, where else would you 639 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: expect the Chinese virus to appear but in La or 640 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: San Francisco. We are the entrance to Asia here in 641 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: Los Angeles at lax or in San Francisco at the 642 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: International Airport, were on the West coast. Now, looking in retrospect, 643 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: there was a study that came out yesterday in La County, 644 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: all of the sudden, they've started testing and they see 645 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: that all kinds of La County residents, a very high 646 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: proportion have the antibodies to the virus already in their system, 647 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: which is what we've been saying for four to six weeks, 648 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: and people were mistaking. I think there's just as much 649 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: science for the proposition that we've already gone through what 650 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: is the virus outbreak here in California, and that these 651 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: overreaction by the political pontiteates has just done nothing but 652 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: try to kill the economy. Now we've got a mayor who, 653 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: not only without any science, has bulldozed sand into skate parks, 654 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: has had people arrested who were on the beach by themselves, 655 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: but now announced yesterday in the City of La State 656 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 1: of the City speech that he's going to furlough tens 657 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,360 Speaker 1: of thousands of city workers, all because he didn't have 658 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 1: any idea what he was doing, that he had no 659 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 1: scientific basis, but he reacted like a Pollyanna or a chicken. 660 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: Little with the sky has fallen, Mark, what's the response been. 661 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,959 Speaker 1: I am positive that your rolodex is about ten miles long, 662 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,720 Speaker 1: just because of who you are. What kind of response 663 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: have you gotten I have You know, I've been doing 664 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 1: this for almost forty years. I have never seen across 665 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: the political spectrum, I mean right left, in between small business, 666 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: insurance people who work for insurance companies, restaurant owners, across 667 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 1: the board, people understand intuitively how insane this is. And 668 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 1: I will tell you when every morning when I walked 669 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: through dogs, I'm out on a horse trail. We've closed 670 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: the horse trails, We've closed the hiking trails. None of 671 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: this makes any sense. It's a complete insanity, and we 672 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: strip people of their kind institutional rights because we've got 673 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: this kind of inanity. That is just there's really a 674 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: pandemic of fear, is what it is. We don't have 675 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: any What they should have been doing, instead of costing 676 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: the taxpayers on an ordinate amount of money, Why didn't 677 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: they start the antibody testing six weeks ago, two months 678 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: ago when they first heard about this. Why didn't we 679 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 1: have massive drive through testing then to do and find 680 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: out whether or not we had the antibodies? And if 681 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,280 Speaker 1: we had done that, it would have been a fraction 682 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 1: of the costs and a fraction of the economic devastation 683 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: that we've done. And by the way, by having people quarantine, 684 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: there was no sense for protecting the vulnerable. There was 685 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: no plan. When you go and tell somebody you go quarantine, 686 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,399 Speaker 1: don't leave your house. They didn't say, well, don't quarantine 687 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: with people with pre existing conditions. They didn't try to 688 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: take those people and protect them. They just did this 689 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:03,720 Speaker 1: kind of overreactive once again, Pollyannish reaction, and insurance companies 690 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 1: take the advantage of it. Politicians have taken the advantage 691 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: of it, and frankly, I think the public gets it now. 692 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 1: They really understand what's what's gone on. Mark Garrigo's attorneys 693 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: suing the mayor of la I don't think I've ever 694 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 1: rooted for one of my guests as hard as I'm 695 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: rooting for you. Go get him. I appreciate you. Thank you. 696 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: Now you have it, Let's get some teeth people, let's 697 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 1: start fighting fighting back. You don't have to lay down 698 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:54,360 Speaker 1: and take this crap. All right, am joining me now 699 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: to wrap up or reopened the economy show is the 700 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: dean of business at Liberty University, Dave Bratt, also former congressman. 701 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 1: That's going to come into play here in just a 702 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 1: second because one of his well, she was never a colleague, 703 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: by the grace of God at least, I don't think so. 704 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: AOC dropped this gem yesterday after oil was trading in 705 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:19,399 Speaker 1: negative forty dollars. Quote, you absolutely love to see it. This, 706 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: along with record low interest rates, means it's the right 707 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: time for a worker led mass investment in green infrastructure 708 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: to save our planet. Cough Now, Congressman, I'm going to 709 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,359 Speaker 1: do you the honor of not comparing your intellect with 710 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: Alexandria Acacio Cortez. However, this is a problem right in Congress. 711 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 1: How can this not be a problem? How do you 712 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: work day to day with people who, I mean, what 713 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,760 Speaker 1: am I supposed to take that as? That's anti American, 714 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 1: that's anti worker. Yeah, and I think it does show 715 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: just a deep misunderstanding on the left of what an 716 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,919 Speaker 1: economy is in the first place. Right, I mean they're 717 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 1: talking about just dismissing entire sectors of the economy, right, 718 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: huge chunks of GDP percentage that have supply chains themselves 719 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 1: and our linked to mom and pop diners across the 720 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 1: country related to those industries. It just shows a total 721 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 1: unawareness of these linkages. And then to go to the 722 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: Green New Deal, when we're just printing cash already and 723 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: thrown at other unproductive means. It now is the time 724 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,240 Speaker 1: to talk about getting your manufacturing back and making stuff 725 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: and being productive again, and getting our cad to twelve 726 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 1: education system in line. And so yeah, the left never 727 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: misses an opportunity of a crisis there in pursuit of 728 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 1: their ideological goals, the neo Marxist ideological goals, which is 729 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: to claim political power. It's got nothing to do with 730 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: economic growth. That's what It's hard for Americans to understand that. 731 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: Right when you say Marxist goals, the goal is to 732 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: claim power. Right, just trust us for a while, give 733 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:09,240 Speaker 1: up all your rights, will take power and deliver you nirvana. 734 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: And that's it, right, And so American people can't believe 735 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 1: that anyone actually believes that, but they do. Congressman, I'm 736 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: glad you brought it up, because this has actually been 737 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 1: on my mind all day, the case through twelve education thing. Now, 738 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how this came to be. I'm not 739 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 1: sure when this came to be, but I am increasingly 740 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,839 Speaker 1: stunned by the younger people I talk to, and I'm 741 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 1: not one of these the next generation sucks. Guys. Every 742 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 1: people are just the same. But the younger people I 743 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 1: talk to that have graduated high school, that are graduating college, 744 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: and even if they're not, you know, died in the 745 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: wool leftists, they have a genuine negative view of the 746 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 1: United States of America. They've been educated that way for 747 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: eight hours a day. How did we as a nation 748 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 1: from a broad view, get to a point where we 749 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 1: teach our younger people that the nation in which they 750 00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: reside sucks. Well, we just went from the Great Generation. 751 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,439 Speaker 1: I mean, you hate to go old school, but part 752 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: of it comes out of that. When you go through 753 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 1: the Great Depression, you learn the value of a nickel, 754 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 1: and you learn the value of hard work and of 755 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 1: your own money. And it's become easier than that. Right, 756 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,360 Speaker 1: and so that the next generation, it's not their fault. 757 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,759 Speaker 1: We did not provide them the fundamentals. In the meantime, 758 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 1: China is graduating millions of it quantitative mathematical engineering students 759 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 1: that still eat their spinach. And we've said now in 760 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,799 Speaker 1: the US, you don't need to do that. There's some 761 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 1: easy route. There is no easy pout right, And so 762 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 1: the folks now, once you have a hit to the 763 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: economy like we're experiencing. It all shows up and unfortunately, 764 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,840 Speaker 1: we're going to pay a dear, dear price for missing 765 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: the boat on education. It's one of the fundamentals that 766 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 1: produces everything else, and we let it. We let it 767 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 1: stagnate for way too long. Congressman, I talked to Carol 768 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,600 Speaker 1: Roth earlier on the show about all the stock market 769 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 1: oil price stuff. So setting that stuff aside, there was 770 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 1: an oil war, oil battle, I don't even know the 771 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,720 Speaker 1: right way you would describe it between US and Saudi 772 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,360 Speaker 1: Arabia and Russia that was already hurting the oil industry. 773 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,399 Speaker 1: I saw it firsthand, hear in Texas before coronavirus ever 774 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 1: got here. What was that and why was that? Yeah, well, 775 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 1: so Russian Saudi's got together. They refused to cut output 776 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 1: to put our US shale producers out of business. And 777 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: that's when you saw some of the US senators get 778 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 1: upset and say no, no, no, no. But since so 779 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 1: that that's a that's a major impact, but it's nothing 780 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: compared to this coronavirus lack of global demand. Right, So 781 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 1: that's the story yesterday, all that showing up in market 782 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: prices and just to make it clear to everybody if 783 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: we lose market prices, which we have right with the 784 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 1: O eight FED intervention, the FED interventions going from a 785 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 1: four trillion dollar balance sheet up to ten trillion dollars 786 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 1: balance sheet where they're buying every corporate bond and asset 787 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 1: they can get to give the firms cash. And if 788 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 1: you lose the market system, that's what people cannot understand 789 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 1: right now. When you see prices go negative, that means 790 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: the market system is broken. There is no market working anymore. Right, 791 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: And so if you lose the market system, we're back 792 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 1: to fishing under bridges again, right. And so I cannot 793 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,320 Speaker 1: overestimate the importance of the economic logic that we've built 794 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 1: up over hundreds of years that is embedded in this economy. 795 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: And if you listen to the likes of AOC and 796 00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 1: the left who have no understanding of how markets work, 797 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: and if you pull away this undergirding, right, the Judeo 798 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 1: Christian tradition gives you the rule of law and magna carta, 799 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,239 Speaker 1: and then you get James Madison, and finally you get 800 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: pre markets in Milton Freedmen and all that. It's one long, 801 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: continuous scene. And if you pull a threat out of 802 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,680 Speaker 1: that same God help us all, because it's gonna be 803 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 1: so bad, I cannot tell you. And I hope this 804 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 1: returns the country back to its senses, but some folks 805 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: are still out their way off in orbit. Congressman, I'm extremely, 806 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 1: extremely worried about the budget situation in the country, and 807 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: I realize that this is in sexy, and nobody likes 808 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,120 Speaker 1: to talk about that, or once likes to talk about 809 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 1: taxes and coronavirus and things like that. We are spending money, 810 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,919 Speaker 1: even with these bills, these bipartisan bills, We're spending money 811 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: we don't have, and we have less money than ever 812 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 1: coming in. And that's just at the federal level. We're 813 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,760 Speaker 1: not even talking about state and local budgets cannot stand 814 00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 1: up to this. We're going to be feeling this for years, right. Yeah. Well, 815 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:05,200 Speaker 1: and they're they're matacresel Security, the state San Francisco CalPERS, 816 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,920 Speaker 1: they're already in solvent, right, and so this just hastens 817 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 1: their decline. And it's a matter of how long can 818 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 1: the US bond market hold out. That's the big daddy, 819 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 1: and if that thing ever goes upside down, that's the 820 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,240 Speaker 1: end of the story, right, and you lose your currency. 821 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:29,520 Speaker 1: Everyone knows it's kind of a it's a faith, ultimately right, 822 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,920 Speaker 1: and it's no longer tied to gold. It's a faith 823 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:36,760 Speaker 1: in the US Treasury. And if we lose that faith 824 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,879 Speaker 1: that that thing carries today, we're in trouble. So you're right, 825 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,800 Speaker 1: it's not the cool topic. But at the end of 826 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,239 Speaker 1: the day, if that one fails and the Left does 827 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,319 Speaker 1: not understand that, the whole house of cards comes crumbling down. 828 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:56,399 Speaker 1: Congressman Dave Ratt, dean of Business at Liberty University, thank 829 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,480 Speaker 1: you so much for your time today, sir, you bet, 830 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:03,319 Speaker 1: Thank you, Jesse.

Maybe you're a smoker or someone else was 839 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 1: just living creates smells. I didn't realize that my home 840 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 1: had a smell to it until I got my first 841 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 1: Eden Pure Thunderstorm, the greatest air purifier I've ever owned 842 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 1: in my life.
