Fears 3 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: about coronavirus are higher than they've ever been. We will 4 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: break down all of the latest for you on this issue. 5 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: Try to avoid as much of the politics as we 6 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: can and get into what really matters. Coming up. This 7 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission 8 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make 9 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: no mistake, America, you're a great American. Again the Buck 10 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: Sexton Show begins. We have the best economy, the most 11 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: advanced healthcare, and the most talent too, doctors, scientists and 12 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: researches anywhere in the world. We are all in this together. 13 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: We must put politics aside, stop the partisanship, and unified 14 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: together as one nation and one family. As history has 15 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: proven time and time again, Americans always rise to the 16 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: challenge and overcome adversity. Welcome to the Buck sex and Show, everybody. 17 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: It was a tough night last night for those of 18 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: us who were watching, and that was some some of 19 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: the presidents addressed to the nation last night from the 20 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: Oval Office. It was a bit of a wake up call, 21 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: I think for many of us Now, let me start 22 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: by saying that I have not changed my overall outlook 23 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: here in the following way. I think that panic is 24 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: not helpful. I think it's not warranted. And it is 25 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: my belief that as long as we do everything that 26 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: we can, and everyone does everything that they have been 27 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: told will mitigate this virus, we will come out of 28 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: this on the other side. Okay, I mean, we're definitely 29 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: going to make it through. It's just a question of 30 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: what damage will be done along the way. And we 31 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: are seeing for the first time in the Trump presidency 32 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: what I would call wartime Trump. This is a wartime issue. 33 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: This is something that affects the lives of millions. Well, 34 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: it affects all of our lives. So every single American 35 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: is in some way affected by this. We all have 36 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: loved ones who are in the higher risk categories. We 37 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: all know people who are older and immunosuppressed, and we 38 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: have to protect them. And there's a lot of government 39 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: policy that comes into play here. It is distressing to 40 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: see it. I'm going to try to avoid the petty partisanship. 41 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: There are political arguments that are happening right now that 42 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: we have to have because there are measures that are 43 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: being taken. There are policies that are being debated in 44 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: real time as I'm here speaking to you that will 45 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: affect how we deal with this and also will help 46 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: determine whether this is a crisis that we look back 47 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: on and say we did pretty well or we got 48 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: sucker punched. We weren't ready for it. We were not 49 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: in a position to handle this properly. If we were 50 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: talking in virus terms, you know, you all know the 51 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: Defcon system, right if we're speaking about this in terms 52 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: of a virus or a pandemic, and I'd say we're 53 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: at We're at Defcon three. We are at an elevated 54 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: state of readiness here. Decon three technically is the US 55 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: arm US Armed Forces were ready to deploy in six hours, 56 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: and it is an elevated state. We are an elevated 57 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: state right now. It's interesting that the biggest outbreak was 58 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: in China. We know that the biggest outbreak has been 59 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: in China, but the and of course, as those of 60 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: you that can see me on video now, every every 61 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: time any of us touch our faces, which is very 62 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: hard to avoid, you just think, oh gosh, what have 63 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: I done? The biggest outbreak was in China, but it's 64 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: Italy that I think has really rattled people. These stories 65 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: coming out of Italy are gut wrenching. You have triage 66 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: situations where this is now being reported on and lots 67 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: and lots of news outlets across the country, Tria situations 68 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: where they simply don't have the medical resources to handle 69 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: the influx because they got to hit by a whole 70 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: bunch of cases all at once. And now there are 71 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: stories if the military trying to airlift people from the 72 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: north of Italy and the other parts of the country. Look, 73 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: there's obvious reason for concern, but there is not reason 74 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: for panic, and those are different things. We have to 75 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: keep this going. You. Last night, I I'll tell you 76 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: that as I was listening to the President's speech even 77 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: I had a moment and I fired off a tweet. 78 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, this is a pandemic 79 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: prey for us, and then I deleted it right away 80 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: because I thought, what a come on, shields High. It's 81 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: got to mean something. Now is when it really tests us. 82 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: Right now we see who we are as a country 83 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: and what kind of emotional and mental mental fortitude we 84 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: have as individuals. When called together in collective action, wars, pandemics. 85 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: There are only a few things that really bring us 86 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: all into the same boat, and there's no way around it. 87 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: And we are in the midst of a pandemic right now. 88 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: And if the situation in Italy where there are also 89 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: stories about people who are at who are not in 90 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: the high risk population in terms of their age or 91 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: being immunosuppressed or having a comorbidity, if that hasn't been 92 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: a concerning enough for people, and that should be very 93 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: concerning because you have stories at least anecdotal at this point, 94 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: but people who were in their forties and fifties who 95 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: are on in the ICU. Has that been verified? How many? 96 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: I don't know, But this is now circulating and there's 97 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: also a lot of a lot of hysteria and there's 98 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: a lot of fake news circulating around about this. People 99 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: also turning on each other. And this was I think 100 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: my initial frustration or my greatest frustration he case, you know, 101 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: I was faced with the liberal mentality on this a 102 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: few weeks ago when I went out and I traveled 103 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: on an airplane, was right when people were really starting 104 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: to get worried about coronavirus, and it was clear that 105 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: there were including Bill that the liberals around me, and 106 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: it was everyone on that stage except for me was 107 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: an avowed leftist liberal that their primary concern was to 108 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: bash not just Trump, but also really to mock and 109 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: ridicule anybody who is holding out faith and hope that 110 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: the administration is doing everything they can not because I 111 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: think they're so great or so perfect, and I could 112 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: pick apart this administration's personnel, and I will pick apart 113 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: the CDC later on this show. I used to work 114 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: for the CIA, which if you're talking about a government 115 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: organization that has its pick in terms of hiring and 116 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: what feels like almost unlimited funding for the mission a 117 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: lot of the time, and there was mediocrity, ineptitude, waste, abuse, 118 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: and stupidity all over the place. Does anybody really think 119 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: the CDC is like a bunch of super anti virus ninjas. Well, 120 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: we already have some information that's come out that, yeah, 121 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: they're helpful, they do some good stuff. I'm not saying 122 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: that we don't think. You know, I'm glad we have 123 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: a CDC, but it's a reminder that if we're really 124 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: gonna beat this thing, it's gonna take a lot more 125 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: than no matter what kind of government agency action could 126 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: have been mounted to help us in this process. But 127 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: it was troubling to see. And I'm gonna try and 128 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be perfect, and I'm gonna say that 129 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: right right up front. I'm gonna try to avoidoid taking 130 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: taking jabs at the other side, even though they're they're 131 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: on offense here. The anti Trump movement in this country, 132 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: the never Trumpers, the Democrats, the left, the socialist the 133 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: all the loons, you know, the people that are have 134 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: been out marching in the streets for years. They can't 135 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: help it. They're in a frenzy of barely subdued delight 136 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: that they think this is going to finish off the 137 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: Trump presidency and deliver it to the Democrats. It's appalling, 138 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: it's disgusting. It's not surprising though, But I want to 139 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: push back on their lives without trying to own them, 140 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: as the kids say, you know, without trying to take 141 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 1: any any cheap shots anything, petty. I'm not going to 142 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: be perfect in this because I'm only human too. And 143 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: you know, I still remember my message if you ever 144 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: saw it on the show on Bill Maher's show, was 145 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: we all want them. You know, we all want the 146 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: presidence to succeed here. We want no debts. This is 147 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: about more than politics. And I came off and I 148 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: was getting liberals writing me, I hope you get coronavirus 149 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: and die. That's that's where that's where the left wing 150 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: mentality has been on this all along, never mind at 151 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: this moment where we're particularly particularly anxious about this, understandably so. 152 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: So I'm going to try to make a promise you 153 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: because we're going to be in this now for the 154 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: next at least thirty probably more like sixty days, where 155 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: this will be the dominant theme, the single news story 156 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: that overshadows or does anyone even really you know, remember 157 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: that we've we're in the midst of a presidential campaign 158 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: right now, mist of a presidential election. Anybody even really 159 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: thinking about that. And I'm not saying they should be 160 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: focused on that. We got more We do have more 161 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: important things right now. So while I'll talk about the 162 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: politics as it affects policy, and I will have to 163 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,119 Speaker 1: push back on some of the lies in the unfairness, 164 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: I will aspire on this show. You know, I always 165 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: aspired it to be. I do have to sometimes call 166 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: people out and say that people are being dumb when 167 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: they're being dumb. I mean, I there are limits this right, 168 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: but as a guiding principle, I will aspire to be 169 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: not just fair minded about this, but also keep our 170 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: disc when we're look I'm not also just gonna talk 171 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: about coronavirus all day. I can't can't do that. That's 172 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: not worth your time. Every day we come on here 173 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: when this continues, when we're facing this pandemic, we'll do 174 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: some updates, what matters, what's going on, where are we 175 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: And then we're all going to talk about other things, 176 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: and you know, Prouser Mark and I might even have 177 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: a little gallows humor in here sometimes. I mean, you know, 178 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do that, because if you're gonna 179 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: spend your time with me, it's not just going to 180 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: be the blaring headlines that you're seeing all of the 181 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: news ment to panic people, drive up ratings, keep everybody 182 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: off balance and worried. That's not what we do here. 183 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: It's never what we've done. So I'm really trying to 184 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: recalibrate a little bit back to the core mission of 185 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: making sure that I give you all the information I 186 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: can on this that this is a place where I'll 187 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: give you analysis. I mean, obviously, you go to any 188 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: website and they've got they've got the number of confirmed cases, 189 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: and I'll inform you about that, But also where are 190 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: we really here? And this is where it also matters 191 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: that you know, we all feel like a community. So 192 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: I'll really appreciate all of your I know that there 193 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: are I mean I can think off the top of 194 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: my head of a handful of world class infectious disease 195 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: specialists or immunologists or microbiologists who I know listen to 196 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: this show. So those of you who have thoughts, who 197 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: want to share your perspective, please do right in because 198 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: we're we are hunkering down here. I mean, this is 199 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 1: going to be battening down the hatches for a while. 200 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: Producer Mark and I have been talking about how we're 201 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 1: going to find a way to keep this show on 202 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: the air no matter what, because they're still talk I mean, 203 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: we're here in New York City, which has this big 204 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: cluster of cases out in New Rochelle. But I mean 205 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: I'm on the I was. I just got off the 206 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: subway before I came on the show, and yeah, there 207 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: are less people, but there are still people. Because life 208 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: has to go on. We got to still keep doing 209 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: what we do. And look, if I could stay home, 210 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: if there were possibilities here that would allow us to 211 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: continue doing everything we do without anybody being around anybody, 212 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: I'd probably do that for the next thirty days. But 213 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: that's not how it is right now. But if something changes, 214 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: will find a way to make sure that our show 215 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: goes on the air each night as it has been. 216 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: We're making contingency plans for that, because I'm gonna tell 217 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: you this right now. I mean, I'm being completely serious. 218 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,599 Speaker 1: If I end up having to quarantine just because of 219 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: an exposure, God forbid even actually contracting this thing, as 220 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: long as my lungs have air on them, I'm doing 221 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: this show. I mean, as long as I have the 222 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: physical capacity to do it, I will continue to do 223 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: the show. So that's where we are on that. Also, 224 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: last night, there wasn't just the President's speech. There was 225 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: a bit of a double whammy effect. It felt like 226 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: piling on. You had the news break that the NBA 227 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: has canceled its entire season. It is very very likely, 228 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: as I go to air that the NHL season will 229 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: also be canceled, and you had Tom Hanks and his 230 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: wife Rita Wilson I believe, both in Australia and confirmed 231 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: to be with to have coronavirus. So you've one of 232 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: the you know, arguably the most famous and celebrated American actor, 233 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: not just of his generation, but some would say in 234 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: the world. I mean, he's certainly in the top ten, 235 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: you know, would be Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, you know, 236 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: maybe yeah, some people put Harrison Ford whatever. That doesn't matter. 237 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,599 Speaker 1: The point is guy super famous and that brings it 238 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: home for people. That makes it seem more real. I 239 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: think to a lot of folks, this uh, this recognition 240 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that anybody can get this. It 241 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: does not matter. You know, this is a human disease. 242 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: It does not matter you know how rich, how you know, underprivileged, 243 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: you know what country you're from, with nationality. We have 244 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: to do everything we can to use the knowledge that 245 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: we have to try and defeat this thing. But the 246 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: NBA season is canceled. Tom Hanks has this Saint Patrick's 247 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: Day Parade in New York, Saint Patrick's Day Parade in 248 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: Boston south by Southwest, that awesome has already canceled. Coachella 249 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: out in California has been canceled. Major sporting events NC 250 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: double A tournament's going to be played without fans in 251 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: the stance I mean, just go down. I mean we're 252 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: we are in we are in lockdown. That's where we are. 253 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: Let's just be honest about where we are with each other. Right, 254 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: this is the situation, and you want to minimize contact 255 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: with other individuals. You want to minimize certainly travel, all 256 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: the things that you're hearing from from the CDC, because 257 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: it's all about playing the odds and playing the numbers, 258 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: righting them, doing the most you can, not just to 259 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: elevate your own odds. Remember, there's this is where we 260 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: do have an interdependency here. We all we all need 261 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: to make sure that we take care of ourselves because 262 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: in taking care of ourselves, we are better capable to 263 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: take care of others and also we are less likely 264 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: to unknowingly expose there's to possible infection. So this does 265 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: start with the self. Each and every one of us 266 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: has some degree of responsibility. Another point that I think 267 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: we all need to remember. The number of cases you 268 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: see right now is a fraction of the people that 269 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: are walking around in this country today who have coronavirus. 270 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: No one knows what that fraction is. But you will 271 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: not find you will not find a single health expert 272 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: who thinks that we know about every case or even 273 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: close to every case. And if you look at a 274 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: heat map, which is a map that shows density. Right, 275 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: so if you look at at a heat map of 276 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: the corona cases across the country. I was pouring over 277 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: one this morning. It's all over the place. You're reading 278 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: about it a lot in Washington and in New York, 279 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: but this is all over the country. And this is 280 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: something that we will need to confront as Americans right 281 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: now if we want to avoid the situation that's playing 282 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: out right now in Italy. There is reason, there are 283 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: reasons for optimism. Optimism not that this is gonna good. 284 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: It's not gonna go away. It's not a hoax. By 285 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: the way, Trump never said it was a hoax, and 286 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: this falls in the category I've got to push back 287 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: on the crazy a little bit. Never said it was 288 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: a hoax. They've been working on this and the testing problems. 289 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: We keep hearing about rs CDC problem, the CDC in 290 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: the manufacturing process, whatever that means messed up the initial 291 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: testing kits. South Korea has gotten a pretty good hold 292 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: on this virus. China has brought the curve down, doesn't 293 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: mean it's totally gone. Has brought the curve down. This 294 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: also means that this virus will probably be something that 295 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: we have to deal with for the foreseeable until a 296 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: cure or a vaccine comes up, and that could be 297 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: a lot longer than people think. Yeah, I said this 298 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: to you, and I wasn't trying to be glib, but 299 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: how's how's that common cold vaccine coming home? Now? The 300 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: cold is hundreds of different viruses and that's part of 301 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: why it's very hard to get a vaccine for it. 302 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: But this could be more complicated than we think it is. 303 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: It's just because it's going into human trials early look 304 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: as a positive sign. I'm not trying to ignore that. 305 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: But you know, we need to stay we need to 306 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: stay absolutely focused here on what we know, and we 307 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: need to take care of each other. You're in the 308 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Literally 309 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: just got an update. Literally just got an update from 310 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: producer Mark right after I say yeah, the NHL has 311 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: canceled their season, so and other sports conferences right, who 312 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: else is suspended? The NHL are both things suspended? Okay, 313 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: so it could come back theoretically. And we've got conference 314 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: conferences like the Big Ten, Big twelve canceling their conference tournaments. 315 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: NC Double A still is onto play without fans, but 316 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: that might be in question now. So it looks like 317 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a big everybody. Just get ready for 318 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: waves and waves of cancelations. You know, stay home, Netflix 319 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: video games, that's what that's what we want to be 320 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: doing here. Read, stay away from people, social distancing. These 321 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: are all good practices. They're not perfect, and they're not absolutes. 322 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: If you gotta go out, you gotta go out, you 323 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: gotta get food, you gotta do what you gotta do. 324 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: But these are all good practices to have.

Other leagues are suspending. I mean, 335 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 1: if they suspend long enough, it's going to be basically canceled. 336 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: I wanted to bring in Clay Travis to talk to 337 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: that issue, but also his thoughts on just everything we're 338 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: facing around now. Clay is the host of OutKick the Coverage, 339 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: very popular podcast and also the author of the book 340 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: Republicans by Sneakers Too. Clay, thanks for joining us. Are 341 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: you in Nashville right now? I am in Nashville, particulamy Man. Yeah, 342 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: So tell me what's going on here. First off, with 343 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: this NBA player who tested positive, I saw something that 344 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: he also had made a joke earlier about having coronavirus. 345 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: Then turn out he did. Well, what can you tell 346 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: us about what's going on with the NBA and coronavirus. Yeah, 347 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert is a player for the Zuka Jazz and 348 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: he had made a joke a couple of days ago 349 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: at a press conference about the coronavirus by like rubbing 350 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: his hand all over the microphones that he was being 351 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 1: interviewed on as he walked out, and obviously, ever wine 352 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: Hart is, he was not taking it seriously. He got 353 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: the coronavirus. He also has given it to at least 354 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: one of his teammates. And obviously this has since spiraled 355 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 1: into a mate your issue in the world of sports 356 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: and beyond, because it's the quarantine situation that everybody has. 357 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: Once one player on one team gets it, that entire 358 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: team is required to quarantine, and so are to a 359 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: certain extent, all of the players who played against that player. 360 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: So it is spiraled into a ongoing I think it's 361 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: fair to say crisis for the world of sports, which 362 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: is unlike anything I've ever seen before, where one by one, 363 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: different leagues and different tournaments are making the decision basically 364 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: to call off their games. What does this mean, you think, 365 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: just I mean, look, there's so many angles on this one, 366 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: but let's start with just the health of the of 367 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: the league's pardon the expression, but you know the financial 368 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: impact this is going to have an Arenas I saw 369 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: something that Mark Cuban is making an effort. He says, 370 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: for at least for the for the mavericks to take 371 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: care of hourly employees who are obviously going to be 372 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: in really rough shape with the season of the season 373 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: being shut down. What can you tell us about how 374 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: they're trying to mitigate the impact economically, Well, I mean, 375 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: I think that's a big challenge, right And honestly, this 376 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: is me putting my lawyer had on. I'm already kind of, 377 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: you know, purely from a legal perspective, utterly fascinated to 378 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: see what all these lawsuits and insurance contracts are going 379 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: to look like. Because you can probably imagine this. For 380 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: years and years, pro sports leagues have been taking out 381 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: insurance in the event that something wild happens which necessitates 382 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: games not taking place, maybe the cancelation of seasons, and 383 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what the economic value of that 384 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: would be. You know, you probably pay what do you think, 385 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know. I'd love to get 386 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: an insurance expert on, but several million dollars to ensure 387 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: that your season is going to continue to take place, 388 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: but your payoff is going to be massive in the 389 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: event that it happens. And it kind of reminds me 390 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: of in terms of in terms of the unlikelihood of 391 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: it of what happened after nine to eleven when for 392 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: for warriors out there, they will remember there was a 393 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: big lawsuit over whether the two planes that hit the 394 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: twin towers were one event or two events, because it 395 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: impacted in a big way what sort of recovery there 396 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: was going to be under the insurance contract. And I 397 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: don't even remember what the resolution of that case was. 398 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: For you think about the thirty different places out there, right, 399 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: the thirty different uh you know, NBA arenas, and the 400 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: thirty different teams and all of the different aspects of 401 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: that that they will have set up, and all the 402 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: lawsuits that willon school. It's just kind of massive to 403 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: think about. Now, are there any leagues that are are 404 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: you that are right now planning to sort of just 405 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: continue with contingency operations with no fans in the stands 406 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: going forward? I mean, who, who? How? How are adaptations 407 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: working here for other for any other sports leagues or 408 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: any other events happening so quickly honestly that I like, 409 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: if I haven't checked my phone, I almost hesitate to say, 410 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: because something might have happened in the last five minutes. Yeah, 411 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: And that actually just happened to me. I said, the 412 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: NHL is thinking about canceling, and then it came back 413 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: from a break and then turns out there canceling. Yeah right, 414 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: So so I mean, I think that's the challenge you 415 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: buck right now, is that literally it's almost impossible to 416 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: keep up with how quickly this story is moving now. 417 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: I've also seen you know, you're somebody who has been 418 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: pretty vocal on social media, and I'll just say, you 419 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: and I haven't talked about this yet. I've been taking 420 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: the position that you know, this is a be vigilant, 421 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: take clip acautions, but they're really People say there's no 422 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: need to panic, and that almost then incites panic. You know. 423 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: It's it's like Will Ferrell and old School when he 424 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: says keep your composure and he's like flinging the chair 425 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: around the locker room and freaking out. I think that 426 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: there's a psychological effect that it has. Some people say don't, 427 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: but I really don't. You know, I think sometimes there 428 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: can be a need for panic, you know, there can 429 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: be a need for everybody hit the exits, and we're 430 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: not there. I don't think we're anywhere close to there. 431 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: Walk me through where you know your evolution and thinking 432 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: about the risks here as somebody who pays very close 433 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: attention to the news has been vocal about this. You know, 434 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: where where'd you start? And after what we saw last 435 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: life from President Trump? And how worried are you? Man? 436 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's really the question. I am not incredibly worried, 437 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: all right. I think it's an interesting question. And let 438 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: me just take a step back. I tend to be 439 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: a guy like and you probably as well, because you're 440 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: a smart guy. When I was a kid, I was 441 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: scared of everything, right, like a young kid, because you're 442 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: aware that there is danger in the world, but you'll 443 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: lack the ability to unpack probabilities and statistics of what 444 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: that danger represents. So like you're willing to go into 445 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: the ocean a little bit. You know there's sharks out there, 446 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: but you're not smart enough to understand what the chances 447 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: are of a shark actually biting you, right, And so 448 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: I was terrified of things like that as a kid, 449 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: and as I got older, I used sort of my 450 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: fear as a The way that I would weaponize against 451 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: it is by diving into facts and data in order 452 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: to try to uncover the answer there, right, and so 453 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: I believe that most of us are very safe right 454 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: from this pandemic. Right now, according to the most recent 455 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: data I've seen, there are ten people in serious or 456 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: critical condition in the entirety of the country, and they're 457 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: thirty eight deaths. I believe what scary is if we 458 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: went in the direction of Italy, which is about seventy 459 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: five times as bad when you adjust prefer capita as 460 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: what we have in the country right now, that would change. 461 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,959 Speaker 1: My hope is that we're going to move more parts 462 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: what South Korea and China how we're able to do 463 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: in terms of virtually eradicating the outbreak in their country, 464 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: as opposed to towards Italy and Europe. And I think 465 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: what Trump has done is basically say, hey, Europe is 466 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: a powder keg right now. It's in danger of becoming 467 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: China like, and so we need to keep people from 468 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: coming from Europe to our country and reigniting more cases 469 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: going forward. And in terms of the statistics on mortality 470 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: rate and all the numbers that you're seeing, there's this 471 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: big debate over is it worse than the flu? Is 472 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,239 Speaker 1: it similar to flu? Do you have? I mean, look, 473 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: I know you're not an epidemiologist or a doctrine either, 474 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: am I. But from the latest data that you've seen 475 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: that you been diving into, what's your take on the 476 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: both the ability of this thing to spread comparatively to 477 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: other diseases that we see that are like it and 478 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: the mortality rates. I mean, you mentioned Italy versus versus 479 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: South Korea. How bad is it in South Korea? Okay? 480 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: So South Korea is the best case scenario. And the 481 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: data that we have seen from South Korea reflects that 482 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: if you get the coronavirus in South Korea, it doesn't 483 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: matter how old you are. But obviously this impacts people 484 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: a lot older. But ninety nine point three or ninety 485 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: nine point four percent of all patients are recovering, that is, 486 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: they are not dying, which mean that point six or 487 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: point seven percent of people are dying from this. So 488 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: that's the best case scenario, is what's going on in 489 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: South Korea. And I tend to think that our medical 490 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: system would be more similar to South Korea's than it would, 491 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: say to Italy's or certainly other countries. That the fear 492 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: that I think is out there is that the coronavirus. 493 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: We're still learning the transmission rates. The World Health Organization 494 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: has said that it is less contagious the coronavirus is 495 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: than the flu. Okay, others have disagreed. I think this 496 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: just a reflects the fact that we're in a very 497 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: early stage of understanding this disease. And so the question 498 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: what you're going to be asked, and I think will 499 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: be utterly fascinating as we move forward, is why did 500 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: Italy have the problems that they had? Now? Maybe it's 501 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: the fact that the country is older, right, Italy is 502 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: one of the oldest countries in the world. They are 503 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: very social in the way that they kiss right like, 504 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: they are very close in terms of personal contact contact. 505 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: They have a massive purist crowd that was coming over 506 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: from Asia. They may have had outbreaks that similarly broke 507 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: out all at the same time. There their overall infrastructure 508 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: at hospitals, maybe a severe leak decrepit compared to other countries. 509 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: I think this will be for epidemiologists an incredibly interesting 510 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: study when all of this has passed, to try to 511 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 1: figure out and learn for the future, what did South 512 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: Korea do so well, did Italy do so poorly? And 513 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: which direction its United States going to go? In terms 514 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: of being South Korea, like where we basically end this 515 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: outbreak before it has a systemic overlapping, you know, delitarious 516 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: effect for the country, or are we going to spiral 517 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: into a tail spin of aneptitude much like has happened 518 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: in Italy. Now, do you think that it was the 519 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: right move to cancel all these sporting events and arenas 520 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: and stuff. Women, If if you were if you were 521 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: the professional sport czar for America, would you say, yeah, guys, 522 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: we need to do this. Well, I think Rudy Gobert 523 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: put it all on steroids because once you get a 524 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: player who test positive, then that team's going to have 525 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: to be pulled out of competition. So I don't know 526 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: that the NBA has any other options once were Gobert 527 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: test positive. And I think that is why all these 528 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: other leagues are acting the way they are, because they're saying, oh, 529 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: we're going to have a player in the same situation 530 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: and Rudy go there, Let's go ahead and keep this 531 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: from happening. And I believe that is the biggest challenge 532 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: that is out there. Is basically skipped a step, because 533 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: I think the step was going to go from no crowds, 534 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: right from crowds to no crowds, playing in front of 535 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: no crowds, and I think that might have held for 536 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: a month, or might have even been able to last 537 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: for a long time, but for the fact that Rudy 538 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: Gobert got the flu, which jumps you right from well, 539 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: playing in front of no crowds is not an option anymore. 540 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: Let's wipe out the whole season for suspension right now. 541 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: I remember, it's not canceled, it's suspended. And so we'll 542 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: see the whether that suspension is lifted and we returned 543 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: to the rest of the season depends on how things 544 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: go in the weeks and months ahead. All right, everybody, 545 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: you heard it from that himself, Clay Travis. Check out 546 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: his podcast I'll kick the coverage. Check out his book 547 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: Republicans by Sneers too.

I appreciate you have me on You're in 550 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: the Freedom, hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 551 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: You said some breaking news. We're gonna have breaking news 552 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: throughout the show. I think on this the Prime Minister 553 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: of Canada, Justin Trudeau, is now self isolating over coronavirus fierce. 554 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: You know, he's not been confirmed to have it, but 555 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: he's self isolating because of concern that he may be 556 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,239 Speaker 1: and he may have been in contact. His wife has 557 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: flu like symptoms, so they're testing her. That's why. Yeah, 558 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: and the I mean, I'm not trying to be even 559 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: clip or funny about this at all. Literally, I just 560 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: now you recognize more than ever how much you touch 561 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: your face. And I'm sitting here and I'm doing a 562 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: radio show and we also broadcasted on Pluto TV, and man, 563 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: it's really hard to not touch your face. Trudeau is 564 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: the first head of state that I know of who 565 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: has been looking. We don't have his wife has coronavirus. 566 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: They're still flu out there, so there are people that 567 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: have very similar symptom profiles to those with coronavirus who 568 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: actually have standard influenza, which I would note is also 569 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: not anything to be taken lightly. But we're just not 570 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: we know more about it, you know, we know that 571 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: it's um considered less a less serious disease than coronavirus 572 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: at this point, so it's possible that his wife has 573 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: just the flu. But obviously everyone right now is very 574 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: concerned that anything that seems like it's flu is going 575 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: to be is going to be. And also, I look, 576 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to make some big political statement. It's 577 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: coronavirus is a family of viruses that's not really it 578 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: should be called wuhan virus, so we know what we're 579 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: talking about. Uhan virus is what causes COVID nineteen, and 580 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: no one really is going to call it COVID nineteen. 581 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to make some big political statement. 582 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: I just think that we call all all these other diseases. 583 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: I don't know why all of a sudden we're supposed 584 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: to change. I mean, it should be called the Wuhan virus, 585 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: but I'm one. This is just you got ahead of 586 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,479 Speaker 1: state of a country. Right next door are close our 587 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: close friends, our brothers and sisters in Canada, and this 588 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: is clearly going to get a lot of attention because 589 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: if the wife has COVID, so I just did it. 590 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: If the wife has I guess we're gonna keep calling 591 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: coronavirus till we all agree we can call something else. 592 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: But if the wife has the virus, then there's a 593 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: very good possibility that the Prime Minister of Canada. Now, 594 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: as we all know, he is young and healthy, so 595 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: chances are he would have statistically speaking, he would have 596 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: a something like a cold. You know, it wouldn't be 597 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: that's what eighty percent of people have. You know, they 598 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: have some shortness of breath, they have a cold that 599 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: you know, it attacks their system, but they're okay. But 600 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: there are other heads of state, including in this one, 601 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: who are at an elevated risk profile because of their age. 602 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: They've I didn't even mention this at the start of 603 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: the show. There's so many things. They've shut Capitol Hill 604 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: and the Pentagon from visitors, so they're still conducting business. 605 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: But there have been some staffers on Capitol Hill who 606 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,479 Speaker 1: have come down, some Senate staffers, I believe, and there 607 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: will be more. I mean, if there's a couple of 608 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: Senate staffers, there's gonna be more Senate staffers. They're all 609 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: moving around the same hallways, breathing the same air, interacting 610 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: in these places. So it's it's very likely that you're 611 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: going to see a number spike on Capitol Hill of 612 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: confirmed cases, and we're Tom Hanks has it, We're going 613 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,479 Speaker 1: to see more people who you would think, oh, they 614 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: don't have to worry. And I know that no one 615 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: consciously thinks about this, but you know, you think about 616 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: very influential, powerful celebrities, and you know politicians, it's easy 617 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: to get in your head. Ah well, they're they're not. 618 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: They're not somebody that has to really worry about this. 619 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm pretty sure the flu actually killed a 620 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: Czar of Russia in the nineteenth century. And that's just 621 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: off the top of my head. I mean, you know, 622 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: this stuff happens. Very famous, very powerful, very influential people 623 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: can succumb to this. I mean, this is this is 624 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: a human condition that we are also concerned about. This 625 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: is any human being is susceptible to this. And unless 626 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 1: you are in a hermetically sealed box and having somebody 627 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: bring you food that has been sterilized all the time, 628 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: I mean, no one is perfectly safe from this. And 629 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: I and I worried at the kind. You know that 630 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: there are some some panic points that I think are coming. 631 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: The panic points are going to revolve around if look, 632 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: let's just say it, if if Trump or Biden or 633 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: Bernie or Schumer or Pelosi or McConnell or any of 634 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: the eld notice I'm picking those names. Those are all 635 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,439 Speaker 1: not just powerful politicians country. They're all older. They're all 636 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: pretty much, you know, in their late sixties, into the 637 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: into the seventies, all the way up to Sanders is 638 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: almost eighty. And they're still shaking hands. Although I think 639 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 1: they're gonna stop that. They're gonna have to cancel all 640 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: political rallies. They're effectively gonna have to suspend, not cancel, 641 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: because we understand the importance for political I mean for 642 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: a professional sports right now, the difference they're going to 643 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: have to suspend the presidential election. In a sense, not 644 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: all of it. People can still you know, write stories 645 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: and put out their stuff online. And aren't we all, 646 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: in a sense very lucky to have the Internet enabled 647 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: world that we live in where we still have all 648 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: this communication and instant information. And now I know there's 649 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: a bad side of it, because there's a lot of 650 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: hysteria and panic that this is coming from, but I 651 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: want to dig into what I think is well, let's 652 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: talk about some more of what Trump said last night, 653 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 1: and then also look at what's comings that we're all 654 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: prepared for it.

After consulting with our 657 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: top government health professionals, I have decided to take several 658 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,399 Speaker 1: strong but necessary actions to protect the health and well 659 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,959 Speaker 1: being of all Americans. To keep new cases from entering 660 00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 1: our shores, we will be suspending all travel from Europe 661 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: to the United States for the next thirty days. The 662 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: new rules will go into effect Friday at midnight. These 663 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground. 664 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: There will be exemptions for Americans who have undergone appropriate screenings. 665 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: And these prohibitions will not only apply to the commendous 666 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 1: amount of trade in cargo, but various other things. As 667 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,800 Speaker 1: we get approval. Anything coming from Europe to the United 668 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: States is what we are discussing. These restrictions will also 669 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: not apply to the United Kingdom. So that was the 670 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: biggest policy moment last night during their President's address, and that, 671 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: I'll be honest that for me, that was kind of 672 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: the old crap moment, because this is that's a real escalation, 673 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: stopping flights from China. You could say, well, why is 674 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: that so different. Well, one as much as China's a 675 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: billion people. We tend to think of China's one country 676 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: stopping flights from all of Europe, and I believe we 677 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: have significantly more air travel from Europe the US than 678 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: we do from China. Just felt like it got a 679 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: whole lot closer to us. Maybe that's just a perception thing, 680 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: but that was a moment where it's clear the administration 681 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: is now. As I said at the top, I mean 682 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: Trump is this is wartime Trump. You are seeing wartime 683 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: Trump right now. Decisions that are being made will affect lives. 684 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 1: The federal government has a role to play here the 685 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: same way that federal government usually we talk about just 686 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: letting letting the market do its thing, and no, we 687 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: can't just let the market do its thing on this. 688 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: There is a government in response the same way that 689 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,720 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be left to, you know, the free market. 690 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 1: If North Korea invaded California tomorrow. This is where the 691 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 1: government has a role as well as a massive role 692 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: for the private sector. You know, I mean tell you this, 693 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: if we see a cure or more likely and I 694 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: think in a sense even more a cure is going 695 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 1: to be a vaccine, and who knows when that will 696 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: actually be On the market, although I do believe they have. 697 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 1: I believe they have vaccine now for a bola for example, 698 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: which years ago people thought maybe that was a challenge 699 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: you would not be able to meet so quickly. It's 700 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 1: going to take a while a treatment though. For this. 701 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,800 Speaker 1: What has to happen is have something that helps people 702 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 1: that even just suppresses the attack on lungs. That's really 703 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: where this goes. It attacks, it causes interstitial pneumonia in 704 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 1: both lungs, is there really and once it gets in 705 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: the lungs and both lungs and the inflammation and the 706 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,360 Speaker 1: difficulty breathing and the strain that that puts on the 707 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: rest of the organs, and it's very that's where in 708 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: the particularly at risk populations you have the fatalities coming. 709 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 1: And also where you have people who are in an 710 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:49,399 Speaker 1: ICU for two three weeks, perhaps even more under very 711 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: precarious and uncomfortable and difficult circumstances. Right, I mean, the 712 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: mortality rate unfortunately does not it is not the only 713 00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: thing to really be concerned about here. We're also going 714 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: to be that are in the ICU for a month, 715 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 1: two or three weeks maybe more. You know, that's what's 716 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 1: going to happen. And that's no, they're not gonna be 717 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: the ICU able to get visitors. And and you know 718 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be tough for for a while there. 719 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: It's very and and also it's going to be a fight, right, 720 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 1: It's it's one thing. I mean, the ICU. If you 721 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,959 Speaker 1: know your prognosis is, oh, it's you're gonna be fine, 722 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: just give it time, which I mean, I guess then 723 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: you probably considered stable. I don't know how long you'll 724 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: be in the ICU, but if you're on a ventilator, 725 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's and that's going to be a closer 726 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: fought battle than any of us ever want to be 727 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: in that position. So look, this is uh, this is 728 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: where we get into now the travel ban and how 729 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: that might help. And look, it is going to help. 730 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: And I'm a little bit stunned to see that there 731 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: are people out there and we're going to some of 732 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: the politics of this. Right. Look, today's today's a today's 733 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 1: a sober day, a solemn day in a sense on 734 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,399 Speaker 1: the show, right there's like we're going to ease into 735 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 1: some other topics and some other things. But you know, 736 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: right now, I mean the country, like I said, it's 737 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: a wake up call, and we're at war with a virus. 738 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: That's what's happening right now. I said, I think to you, 739 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: even just yesterday, it's gonna be a day when I 740 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,800 Speaker 1: come in. I knew it was going to happen, given 741 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 1: the trend in the last two weeks or so. I 742 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:19,919 Speaker 1: didn't know it would be here right away. I didn't 743 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: know it would be here now. But that's where we are. 744 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: We are, as I said, we're not at def Con one. 745 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: This is not all out. You know, we don't have 746 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 1: marshal law. We're at virus Defcon three. You know, we're 747 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 1: at maybe maybe def conto, but def Con three for sure. 748 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: So the President talks about this travel ban, and what 749 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: could be more intuitive than you know, the big concern. 750 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: I have to understand that the concern that all the 751 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,799 Speaker 1: policymakers have right now that everyone's trying to figure out 752 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: is not only stopping the spread of this, but elong 753 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: getting the curve in the spike of cases. Because let's 754 00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 1: just well, this is this is make believe maths. These 755 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: are not real numbers. But just let's say in a 756 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 1: country you have I'll just say a rant make believe 757 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: country too. Let's say the country of Bukistan has ten thousand, 758 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 1: ten thousand beds for ICU patients and five thousand ventilators, right, which, 759 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: let's just say that that's the case, and you bring 760 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 1: in and you have one hundred cases of coronavirus, and 761 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: of that hundred cases, you have ten people who need, 762 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: you know, who need that critical care, You're you're in 763 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 1: good shape. But if you have a thousand people who 764 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 1: are cases of coronavirus and they spread it, and then 765 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you have fifteen thousand cases, you 766 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: only have ten thousand beds and they all come in 767 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: at the same time because the spread has been allowed 768 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: to happen very rapidly, all at once because there have 769 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,359 Speaker 1: not been mitigation measures. Then you get people that are 770 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: in the hallway at the hospital unable to breathe, and 771 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: the doctors are having to do triage as though we're 772 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: in a mass casualty disaster like an earthquake that's killed 773 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: thousands of people, or a mass casualty terror attack or 774 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 1: something where they're just trying to keep as many people 775 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,839 Speaker 1: live as they can and making decisions about who's going 776 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: to live in who's not. So even if if you 777 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 1: only have ten thousand beds and you end up having 778 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand cases, but you only have you know, 779 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 1: let's say a few thousand a month coming through, your 780 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 1: medical system can handle that. If you get you know, 781 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 1: twenty thousand cases in one month and only ten thousand beds, 782 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: now you've got a huge problem. So the timing of 783 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 1: the spread of the virus really does matter to the 784 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 1: public health, to the health system in general, and that's 785 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: why limiting flights, everything that we can do to keep 786 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: the numbers low as long as we can is critical. 787 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:58,399 Speaker 1: And yet you have people out there like Obama, White House, 788 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 1: Ebolazar Ron Lane who says this play play thirteen. Look, 789 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: I think part of this, Rachel is the classic Trump 790 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 1: distraction tactic. He wants to see progressives debate to travel ban, 791 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: so and so forth, and not come after where he 792 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 1: has failed. We have tested five people out of every 793 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 1: million in this country, and Korea they've tested two thousand 794 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 1: people out of every million in their country. There is 795 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: no reason why South Korea doesn't have technology we don't have, 796 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: or a healthcare system we don't have, or anything we 797 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 1: don't have. It is a failure of leadership. Of the 798 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 1: Trump administration. He is doing anything he can to move 799 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,399 Speaker 1: the conversation elsewhere, to get us to talk about something 800 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: else and not focus the fact that even tonight, even 801 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,760 Speaker 1: in that Oval Office address, all they can say about 802 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 1: testing is we're going to do more of it sometime 803 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: some number of people. We're getting there. Right. That's that's 804 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 1: job one. That's job number one. Travel ban is a distraction. 805 00:43:55,560 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: Is a reckless and stupid thing to say. Every I'm 806 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,839 Speaker 1: paying attention to what actual experts are saying, but all 807 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,240 Speaker 1: this different stuff, and you know, there have been conflicting numbers. 808 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 1: You know, I saw early on people who were saying 809 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,800 Speaker 1: that they they were thinking the numbers. The mortality. Remember 810 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: the mortality rate we're initially told was three point six 811 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 1: percent around there in Italy. Right now the estimating it's 812 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,279 Speaker 1: it's at six percent, which is very high, which is 813 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 1: why Italy is really this is this case study that 814 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 1: has everyone so concerned. Now it looks like global mortality 815 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: is closer to one percent, but that's still ten times 816 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: the flu's mortality rate, which is point one percent, right, 817 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 1: So the numbers are changing, The data is changing, you know, 818 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: just because an expert says one thing, today. Doesn't mean 819 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 1: they're not going to be wrong or change their opinion tomorrow. 820 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: But I've seen no experts who make the case that 821 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 1: limiting travel from I mean actual medical experts who care 822 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: about keeping people alive. Ron claims a political operative, he's 823 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,320 Speaker 1: a hack. Okay, he's worked for you know, the Clinton's, 824 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 1: the Obamas. I mean, this is what this is what 825 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: this guy does, and he was put in charge of 826 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 1: the abolis bons by the administration. Ebola is much easier 827 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: to contain than this virus. The Wuhan virus is airborne, 828 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 1: is easy to contract, and is spread rapidly through casual contact. 829 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 1: Ebola you have to get someone's blood in your system. Basically, 830 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 1: you have to get the you know, there their actual 831 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: excretions in your system. That's different. You know, there weren't 832 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 1: clouds of blood in the air that people could walk 833 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: through and get a bola from. That's not how it works. 834 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,879 Speaker 1: So it's a lot easier to contain. But my point, 835 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: you're just being you know, what this guy is saying 836 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:46,720 Speaker 1: is unhelpful. This is exactly the kind of cheap, petty 837 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 1: politics when people are really worried. Right now, you know, 838 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure every person out there who who's taking a 839 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,840 Speaker 1: lot of time out of their day to trash Trump 840 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,279 Speaker 1: and say that he's doing a bad job on this 841 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 1: has people that there were about him and people in 842 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: my life that I have elevated concern for because they're 843 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 1: at higher risk and you know, and look, anybody's at 844 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 1: risk in a sense, and you know you've got this 845 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 1: kind of a disease, you don't know your system is 846 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 1: going to react. I'm not trying to scare people more 847 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 1: than we're already scared. But you know, nobody wants to 848 00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 1: get this. Nobody wants to get this, especially people that 849 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 1: are in the higher risk category. But everybody should be 850 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 1: concerned about it. Why why pretend that the travel ban 851 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 1: is not something that's going to have any effect. That's 852 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:34,440 Speaker 1: helpful if the whole problem is trying or I should say, 853 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,360 Speaker 1: if the primary effort right now is trying to prevent 854 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:42,320 Speaker 1: their being a huge immediate spike in cases, limiting the 855 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 1: influx of people from places where they've already had or 856 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,879 Speaker 1: are undergoing right now a particularly high percentage of people 857 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,720 Speaker 1: infected with this virus. Of course, that's a good idea, 858 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,200 Speaker 1: and to focus on the community spread. This is a 859 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,800 Speaker 1: walk in chew gum situation. Yes, we focus on community 860 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: spread and we stop the importation of the disease. It's 861 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,960 Speaker 1: very straightforward when you think about it. But there look, 862 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,120 Speaker 1: there's a lot of nonsense from brainless Democrats out there 863 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:14,640 Speaker 1: right now who are taking this as an opportunity they think, 864 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 1: and I have to say this, this needs to be 865 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 1: There are people for whom you know, Russia collusion and 866 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,840 Speaker 1: the Ukraine impeachment and you know, all this stuff that 867 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:27,919 Speaker 1: they've been that they've been saying about Trump, and they've 868 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,239 Speaker 1: just been wrong. They've been wrong and wrong and wrong 869 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,320 Speaker 1: and lies and wrong. Now they think that they finally 870 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to get their way and bring about 871 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,279 Speaker 1: the end of this administration. And they can't even think 872 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: straight about what's happening in the country right now. Pardon me, 873 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: they can't even think straight about that because they're so 874 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 1: focused on using this to score points against the president. 875 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 1: It's very disheartening and we should all be on guard 876 00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,239 Speaker 1: against this because they're also I mean, this guy is 877 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 1: this guy's somebody who is an Obola containment czar under 878 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 1: Obama and he's going on TV to tell millions of 879 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,360 Speaker 1: people that the travel ban doesn't matter, which then is 880 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,960 Speaker 1: going to involve those people, going to result in those 881 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 1: people saying, well, then why are they doing Maybe we 882 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,279 Speaker 1: shouldn't have a travel band. They'll put pressure on the administration, 883 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 1: pressure on their elected officials that we shouldn't have a 884 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 1: travel ban. And they're just saying, he's just saying this 885 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 1: because he's looking to score points against the administration. I mean, 886 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,960 Speaker 1: that's really gross, that's really grotesque. It's a dumb thing 887 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,799 Speaker 1: to say. I've heard people who are medical experts now 888 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: put forward all this issue specifically. They're like, yes, limiting flights, 889 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 1: limiting spread absolutely the way to go right now. So 890 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 1: why say that it's a distraction. Why be so flippant 891 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 1: about this? You know, you're really people are showing you 892 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:55,239 Speaker 1: who they are in this whole ordeal, especially people in authority, 893 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 1: people in the media, people that have influence over what 894 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: you think about, what's about what's happening in this country 895 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 1: and around the world, and they are many of them 896 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,359 Speaker 1: are using it recklessly. And I also think they'll never 897 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:13,840 Speaker 1: they'll never be any soul searching over this. But the 898 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,439 Speaker 1: same media that has been in a has been lighting 899 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 1: their credibility on fire for years to attack the Trump 900 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 1: administration now turns around and says, why don't you believe 901 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: everything we say about this and that none of it 902 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: is political. Well, because they've cried wolf, because they've they 903 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,439 Speaker 1: have sold their credibility, They've sold their credibility for short 904 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 1: term audience game, for placating the the Trump Derange left. 905 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,399 Speaker 1: That is what they have been doing. So of course 906 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,319 Speaker 1: we take that into account. But I mean that was very, 907 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:49,000 Speaker 1: very troubling. I mean, look, here's a perfect example of 908 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,920 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Um, you know, Jim Acosta is 909 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 1: out there and you know, you know Jim, I I 910 00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 1: don't know Jim Acosta. I gotta tell you. You know, 911 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: it's amazing to me that CNN thinks that this isn't 912 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,560 Speaker 1: just completely that he's not an example of something that 913 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,400 Speaker 1: destroy He just destroys their credibility. I mean, if anyone's 914 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,480 Speaker 1: being honest, Jim Accosta is an activist. He's playing games 915 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,760 Speaker 1: all the time. But here he is. He has access 916 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 1: to President United States, and he does have unfortunately a 917 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,760 Speaker 1: very large platform from which to inform the American public, 918 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 1: and he is asked as a White House correspondent, meant 919 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 1: to convey information to the public. After the President gives 920 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,320 Speaker 1: a speech from the Oval Office, he is asked to 921 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 1: bring context and analysis to it that's helpful at a 922 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 1: time of real national concern. And here is what he 923 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:40,279 Speaker 1: does with that ability. Play clip ten. At one point 924 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,960 Speaker 1: during this address, the President referred to the coronavirus as 925 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,800 Speaker 1: a quote foreign virus. That that I think was interesting 926 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,239 Speaker 1: because as I was talking to sources earlier this evening, 927 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 1: one of the points that the President wanted to make tonight, 928 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,000 Speaker 1: wanted to get across to Americans is that this virus 929 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,960 Speaker 1: did not start here, but that they're dealing with it now. 930 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,760 Speaker 1: Why the President would go as far as to describe 931 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,919 Speaker 1: it as a foreign virus, that is something we'll also 932 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 1: be asking questions about. But it should be pointed out 933 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:09,520 Speaker 1: that Stephen Miller, who is an immigration hardliner who advises 934 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 1: the president, is one of his top domestic policy advisors 935 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: and speech writers, right, was a driving force in writing 936 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 1: the speech. And I think it's going to spack. It's 937 00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 1: going to come across to a lot of Americans as 938 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,279 Speaker 1: spacking of xenophobia, to use that kind of term in 939 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 1: this speech. Chris, Well, look, sometimes we can answer the 940 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,880 Speaker 1: questions and answer is he's doing it to put blame 941 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 1: somewhere else. What a bunch of morons. And really it 942 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,360 Speaker 1: is a Chinese virus. It did come from China, and 943 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 1: the Chinese government suppressed information in the beginning that could 944 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:45,239 Speaker 1: have given the whole world the head start on developing tests, vaccines, 945 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:52,239 Speaker 1: coordining off people, creating measures to help with public safety. Yeah, 946 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 1: that's all that's true. That's real. And the Chinese government 947 00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,959 Speaker 1: is actively lying to its own population trying to blame 948 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: America for this. That's happening right now. There is a 949 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:06,279 Speaker 1: Chinese government propaganda effort to blame America because this is 950 00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:10,200 Speaker 1: going to have you know, global financial implications could last 951 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 1: for quite a while, the implications of it. I mean, 952 00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 1: who knows. I mean, no one really knows how long 953 00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,320 Speaker 1: this whole thing is going to continue on in any respect, 954 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,880 Speaker 1: So that could happen. And now we look at this 955 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,719 Speaker 1: and we say to ourselves, Okay, well, should we just 956 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,800 Speaker 1: allow the Chinese government to rewrite history and lie. Should 957 00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,799 Speaker 1: they be able to tell the whole world, including their 958 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:32,280 Speaker 1: own population, that America is responsible for this. This happened 959 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:37,799 Speaker 1: because someone in China was selling rare animals in what's 960 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,120 Speaker 1: called a wasn't being called a wet market, an open 961 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 1: air market in Wuhan City in Hubei Province in China. 962 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,480 Speaker 1: That's when or it escaped from the virology institute that 963 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,239 Speaker 1: happens to be ten miles away, which wouldn't be the 964 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,920 Speaker 1: first time that an infectious virus has escaped from that 965 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 1: institute at all. It's one of those two things. So, yeah, 966 00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 1: it's Chinese. Why can't we speak about this honestly blaming 967 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,799 Speaker 1: the Chinese people for it? But we're trying to describe 968 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,160 Speaker 1: a thing. And why do they waste our time getting 969 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,960 Speaker 1: into this? I mean, it looks CNN. You'd think that 970 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,279 Speaker 1: now they would raise they'd raise the bar now they'd 971 00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 1: be serious. They can't. You shouldn't trust them, you shouldn't 972 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:20,319 Speaker 1: respect them. Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. 973 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,360 Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or 974 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:28,799 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. And so we have targeted 975 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:32,840 Speaker 1: our relief. We make it. It's aimed at people, not 976 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 1: at big corporations, not at some kind of general long 977 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,840 Speaker 1: term economic plan that the president might want for other purposes. 978 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,720 Speaker 1: It seems the president seems to be more worried about 979 00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 1: the health of the big banks than the help of Americans. 980 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 1: We don't believe that works. And so the administration is 981 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 1: proposing tax cuts and veilouts for the airline industry, the 982 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,560 Speaker 1: oil and gas industry. That's just out of touch. The 983 00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,239 Speaker 1: bottom line. We need to put people first. Let's talk 984 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,800 Speaker 1: about the response. Now. I've told you a lot about 985 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,919 Speaker 1: where we are, what the threat is that we face, 986 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,000 Speaker 1: how we need to come together or try I've tried 987 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,800 Speaker 1: to minimize the politics, but as I said, there's politics 988 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:17,239 Speaker 1: is a discussion that involves policy, and policy at the 989 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,920 Speaker 1: national level, at the local level is part of our 990 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,880 Speaker 1: response right now. So I want to bring on our 991 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,239 Speaker 1: friend David Harsani from National Review to speak with us 992 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,080 Speaker 1: a little bit about this. David, thanks for making the time. 993 00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,600 Speaker 1: It was a pleasure. I think. All right. First, you know, 994 00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:36,800 Speaker 1: the people are talking about bailouts, stimulus, FED policy, helping 995 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,759 Speaker 1: the airline industry, helping the cruise industry. You know, what 996 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 1: do you make of Let's start on the on the 997 00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:44,640 Speaker 1: economic side of all this. What do you make of 998 00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,040 Speaker 1: the actions administration talked about Trump talking about last night 999 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,960 Speaker 1: and that now Democrats are passing bills to try and 1000 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:56,360 Speaker 1: do something well, the truth as truth is, I don't know. 1001 00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,560 Speaker 1: I mean in the sense that I don't know that 1002 00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,759 Speaker 1: we know exactly what is going to happen over the 1003 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,040 Speaker 1: next two weeks, three weeks a month. As far as 1004 00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,120 Speaker 1: the economy, it seems to me, I'm no expert that 1005 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,239 Speaker 1: there will be a recession because you have so much 1006 00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:15,160 Speaker 1: you know, inactivity economically because of this that it can't 1007 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:17,440 Speaker 1: it will have an effect, obviously you see it in 1008 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,439 Speaker 1: the markets. As a rule, I'm not for bailouts because 1009 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,880 Speaker 1: I don't think they work. However, this is not a 1010 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,960 Speaker 1: normal situation where you have, you know, an industry that 1011 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:34,320 Speaker 1: hasn't hasn't acted in the best interest of of you know, 1012 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 1: as has been greedy or been giving loans they knew 1013 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,200 Speaker 1: they wouldn't get back. I mean, you have here in 1014 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 1: existential threat that's a virus. It's not like something the 1015 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,520 Speaker 1: economy is telling you. It's just outside of that. So 1016 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,400 Speaker 1: perhaps we need to help the economy. I don't know 1017 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,320 Speaker 1: is the real answer yet, because I don't know that 1018 00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,840 Speaker 1: we know how bad it's going to be. Well, let 1019 00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:58,960 Speaker 1: me just quickly add but the Democratic bill is like 1020 00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,399 Speaker 1: a goody list their usual stuff. So I'm not sure, 1021 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,200 Speaker 1: just passing something to pass something's going to be helpful. 1022 00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,120 Speaker 1: So I hope the President thinks about that. Right, So 1023 00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,400 Speaker 1: it's not surprising people are trying to leverage this for 1024 00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:16,719 Speaker 1: politics right away. It is a little bit disheartening. Well here, 1025 00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,640 Speaker 1: well here, first, let's take this before. I'm trying so 1026 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,200 Speaker 1: hard to avoid the partisan food fight today at least 1027 00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 1: because it feels like this should beyond it. Here's what 1028 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 1: Trump said about what he's going to do. Play three 1029 00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: more to ensure that working Americans impacted by the virus 1030 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,480 Speaker 1: can stay home without fear or financial hardship. I will 1031 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 1: soon be taking emergency action, which is unprecedented, to provide 1032 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:43,279 Speaker 1: financial relief. This will be targeted for workers who are ill, 1033 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:47,800 Speaker 1: quarantine who are caring for others due to Corona virus. 1034 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:52,160 Speaker 1: I will be asking Congress to take legislative action to 1035 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:57,040 Speaker 1: extend this relief. Because of the economic policies that we 1036 00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,560 Speaker 1: have put into place over the last three years, we 1037 00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:04,919 Speaker 1: have the greatest economy anywhere in the world by far. 1038 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:10,680 Speaker 1: Our banks and financial institutions are fully capitalized and incredibly strong. 1039 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:16,080 Speaker 1: Our unemployment is at a historic clowe. This vast economic 1040 00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:20,439 Speaker 1: prosperity gives us flexibility, reserves and resources to handle any 1041 00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:24,320 Speaker 1: thread that comes our way. What do you think about 1042 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:28,880 Speaker 1: all that sounds fine? I don't know that. You know, 1043 00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:31,880 Speaker 1: he's not very specific about what that means. But obviously 1044 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: people who are quarantined and people are sick, and if 1045 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 1: there's some relief for them, I don't see why we 1046 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:40,760 Speaker 1: shouldn't want that. I would say, he's you know, as 1047 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 1: far as I see, he's right about the economy in 1048 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:47,040 Speaker 1: the sense that once this people feel like this is over, 1049 00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,680 Speaker 1: there's no real underlying problem with the economy that shouldn't 1050 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 1: allow us to bounce back strongly afterwards. But then again, 1051 00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,400 Speaker 1: if it hits, you know, really badly and and lots 1052 00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,520 Speaker 1: of people are dying, God bid, then I don't I 1053 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen or how people will feel. 1054 00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,280 Speaker 1: And the problem for me has been that I read 1055 00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 1: one story and I'm like, oh, you know, it's not 1056 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,720 Speaker 1: going to be that bad. We're just overreacting as usual. 1057 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:13,080 Speaker 1: Then I read the next story and I'm like, oh 1058 00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,880 Speaker 1: my god, we're all going to die tomorrow. And I 1059 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 1: go back and forth all day and I'm not sure 1060 00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 1: what to think about it. And that's that's a separate 1061 00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,000 Speaker 1: problem we have. I think, well, that was what I 1062 00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:22,439 Speaker 1: was going to ask you next. Where do you fall 1063 00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,120 Speaker 1: on the spectrum right now? I've been I've been pretty um, 1064 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,160 Speaker 1: I'm bullish, I guess even I've been pretty confident that 1065 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:32,080 Speaker 1: you know, I knew it was going to hit this, 1066 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:33,760 Speaker 1: I knew they'd be cases, and I knew there were 1067 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,040 Speaker 1: going to be fatalities from this. But I've been thinking 1068 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:37,480 Speaker 1: that it's going to be okay. I mean this, this 1069 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 1: stuff that's really gotten me. I think a lot of 1070 00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,600 Speaker 1: people rattle isn't even so much the you know, the 1071 00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,560 Speaker 1: cancelations everything, it's these stories coming out of Italy are 1072 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:49,800 Speaker 1: are pretty terrifying, right, So that's why you know, every 1073 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:51,920 Speaker 1: in terms about flattening the curve and all that stuff. 1074 00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm typically not hysterical about these things. Most things don't 1075 00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:00,960 Speaker 1: turn out as bad as we think so, and I 1076 00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 1: suspect that will be the case here as well. But 1077 00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,840 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean so. I think there's a wide range 1078 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:10,000 Speaker 1: of positions you can take between hysteria and between dismissing something, 1079 00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,400 Speaker 1: and I think Trump was a little too dismissive in 1080 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,560 Speaker 1: the beginning. There are you know, even if it's not 1081 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,040 Speaker 1: worst case scenario. There are a lot of elderly people 1082 00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,040 Speaker 1: in this country, and a lot of immunocompromise people, and 1083 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people who are nervous about this sort 1084 00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:24,840 Speaker 1: of thing, and I think we need to take that seriously. 1085 00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:29,800 Speaker 1: I think he's been better since then. But also hysteria's crazy. 1086 00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:34,560 Speaker 1: I mean, panicking and almost being gleeful about the economic 1087 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 1: ruin that might fall upon us simply for because it 1088 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,439 Speaker 1: might help you with your politics. It's just really gross. 1089 00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:42,680 Speaker 1: And I just feel like there aren't a lot of 1090 00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:44,919 Speaker 1: grown ups out there when it comes to this sort 1091 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,680 Speaker 1: of stuff, and that I think that's a separate problem 1092 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,360 Speaker 1: that we have to face at some point, that we 1093 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,280 Speaker 1: don't know who to trust because everyone has some sort 1094 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:53,600 Speaker 1: of political angle. And I think that's the problem. I mean, 1095 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:57,240 Speaker 1: I played before the audio from the former Ebolazar. He's 1096 00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,160 Speaker 1: just a lawyer and a chief of staff. I work 1097 00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,400 Speaker 1: for a bunch of Democrat administrations, ron Klain, and he 1098 01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,640 Speaker 1: was saying that the travel ban is just a distraction tactic. 1099 01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:08,880 Speaker 1: He went on Rachel Mattau showing fund millions of people. 1100 01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that that's reckless. I actually think 1101 01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,640 Speaker 1: that crosses a line from like, I don't like what 1102 01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,400 Speaker 1: he's saying to this. This is this is a guy 1103 01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:20,200 Speaker 1: who's who's telling people things, who's advocating against a position 1104 01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:23,200 Speaker 1: that could save lives, and is therefore actually imperiling lives 1105 01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 1: and doing so. He must know. They're like, we don't 1106 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:27,440 Speaker 1: want to have a whole bunch of flights coming in 1107 01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:31,439 Speaker 1: from Milan, Italy, right, Like he's not a total moron. Right, Well, 1108 01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:35,040 Speaker 1: you know, I think that that's why, you know, folks 1109 01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,080 Speaker 1: like him, It's why we can't trust what we're being told. 1110 01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:42,720 Speaker 1: And you know, I mean the idea. Listen, here's the thing. Literally, 1111 01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,040 Speaker 1: nothing the president was going to do was going to 1112 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 1: be okay for a bunch of people out there. They 1113 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:48,600 Speaker 1: were going to either was going to be enough, it 1114 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:49,880 Speaker 1: was going to be too much, it was going to 1115 01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,560 Speaker 1: be too stupid. There is nothing he can do that 1116 01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:58,440 Speaker 1: it's going to make them feel where, you know, satisfy them. 1117 01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:00,760 Speaker 1: So I think we need to ignore those kinds of people. 1118 01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,640 Speaker 1: I do get worried when I hear you know, a 1119 01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,080 Speaker 1: doctor or you know, I forgot his name now, but 1120 01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,320 Speaker 1: they leaked, you know, leaked his testimony or whatever. He 1121 01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:12,680 Speaker 1: says one hundred and fifty million people might get coronavirus. Okay, 1122 01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,320 Speaker 1: now show me your charts and tell me how you 1123 01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,120 Speaker 1: came to that, because that seems really, really bad. And 1124 01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,680 Speaker 1: I think that that's the sort of panic I really hate, 1125 01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,960 Speaker 1: because you know, you're just throwing a remark out there 1126 01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,880 Speaker 1: with any without any context. It's very difficult to find it. 1127 01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,000 Speaker 1: Just what are you thinking now in terms of what 1128 01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,080 Speaker 1: you want to do next and what you're you know, well, 1129 01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 1: what is your respellence right now? Mary? Are you? Are 1130 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,440 Speaker 1: you social distancing? And then some I mean, where where 1131 01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 1: are you putting your own your own sense of how 1132 01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,680 Speaker 1: you're going to comport yourself here? Going for I'm not 1133 01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:43,840 Speaker 1: sure that's the right word, but you know what I mean, 1134 01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 1: how you're going to conduct yourself? There you go? I know, 1135 01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:49,800 Speaker 1: I buck I have social distance. For a long time, 1136 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,840 Speaker 1: I were in my own office, and I am not 1137 01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,920 Speaker 1: a social butterfully, I'm not out there most of the time. 1138 01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:59,520 Speaker 1: But obviously I live in the real world and I 1139 01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,520 Speaker 1: have kids, and I worry about that, especially one of 1140 01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:06,560 Speaker 1: them is immunocompromised, and I feel like, uh, you know, 1141 01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:11,000 Speaker 1: I keep her home right now, even though I know, listen, 1142 01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,160 Speaker 1: when you're a parent, You're not going to be rational 1143 01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,840 Speaker 1: about that stuff. I realize that I'm in the real world. 1144 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 1: I have to be rational. But when you have your 1145 01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,120 Speaker 1: own kids, you're like, whoa, you know, so why not 1146 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,560 Speaker 1: just keep them home and be safe and you know, 1147 01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,080 Speaker 1: wash your hands and do all the right things. That's 1148 01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:26,800 Speaker 1: what I try to do. I mean, you know, it's 1149 01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:28,720 Speaker 1: out of our control to some extent. You know, when 1150 01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,200 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks gets it, that really hits you know, You're like, 1151 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:34,080 Speaker 1: even famous people who are well taken care of can 1152 01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:37,760 Speaker 1: get sick. So but in the end, I feel like 1153 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,280 Speaker 1: it's probably not going to be as bad as Italy. 1154 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,880 Speaker 1: I just feel like in some sense, we're just better 1155 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:47,040 Speaker 1: prepared and we can move fast room because of our economy, 1156 01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,520 Speaker 1: we can we can deal with these things. So, you know, 1157 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,240 Speaker 1: and when I you know, I leave this house actually 1158 01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,320 Speaker 1: and go out into the real world. I'm actually hardened 1159 01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,600 Speaker 1: to see that normal people don't act with the kind 1160 01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:59,720 Speaker 1: of hysteria that we see on Twitter, etc. You know, 1161 01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:01,960 Speaker 1: are just going about their business, I think as best 1162 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,840 Speaker 1: as they can. Twitter has been, you know, especially for 1163 01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:08,600 Speaker 1: in blue check journalist world. I feel like it's been 1164 01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:10,400 Speaker 1: worse than it has ever been in the last in 1165 01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,080 Speaker 1: the last week or so, I think this is like 1166 01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,360 Speaker 1: the ugliest. I mean I told you before, you know, 1167 01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,320 Speaker 1: I went on Bill Mars Show, and my message was, 1168 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,240 Speaker 1: we all want this to work, we all want Trump 1169 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:21,840 Speaker 1: to do his best. This is really beyond politics. And 1170 01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:23,680 Speaker 1: I mean I actually had people writing me messages like 1171 01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:25,200 Speaker 1: that they hope that I, you know, I and everyone 1172 01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 1: I know gets coronavirus and dies. That you mentioned that 1173 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 1: the gleefulness. There's there's a deep psychological sickness in American 1174 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:37,600 Speaker 1: politics that this actual sickness, I think is is showing 1175 01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,600 Speaker 1: us in ways. It reminds me a little bit of 1176 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,960 Speaker 1: after After right after nine to eleven. There were people, 1177 01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,200 Speaker 1: and I've told stories about this, there were people who 1178 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,640 Speaker 1: are like, yeah, America got what I mean Americans who 1179 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:51,480 Speaker 1: are like, yeah, we got we deserved. Yeah. No, I 1180 01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:55,520 Speaker 1: think this is the worst. It's successful. It's been completely unhelpful. 1181 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,000 Speaker 1: It's you know, would rather than help to guide us. 1182 01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:00,320 Speaker 1: Because Twitter can be amazing, and that's just Twitter, social 1183 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:04,160 Speaker 1: media where you connect people who have in ways instantaneously 1184 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 1: where they can help each other figure out what's going 1185 01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,920 Speaker 1: on in the big picture. Right, That's not what happened. 1186 01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: You just have rumors, you have idiocy, you have you know, 1187 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,320 Speaker 1: people who no matter what you know, what Trump says, 1188 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 1: they're going to be angry, and other people frankly old 1189 01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,480 Speaker 1: defense Trump no matter what he's doing as well. So 1190 01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:23,840 Speaker 1: everything becomes politics and we can't it's very difficult, difficult 1191 01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:25,800 Speaker 1: to get like a good read on what you know 1192 01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,400 Speaker 1: the threat, and maybe people don't know you know what 1193 01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:31,040 Speaker 1: the threat is. I don't know, but yeah, I mean, 1194 01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,640 Speaker 1: I've basically tried to turn it off for the most 1195 01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 1: part because it's it's not been helpful, and that's that's 1196 01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,680 Speaker 1: a shame, because it is an amazing technology when you 1197 01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,880 Speaker 1: really think about it, it should be much much, much 1198 01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 1: more helpful. Do you think that the administration has reached 1199 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:46,320 Speaker 1: a point where they they are locked in in terms 1200 01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,400 Speaker 1: of how serious they should be and how focused they 1201 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:52,800 Speaker 1: are on this. They seem to be headed in that direction. 1202 01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:56,720 Speaker 1: Initially I didn't think so, And obviously I don't know 1203 01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:58,520 Speaker 1: if you've read these stories, but you know, because you 1204 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:02,680 Speaker 1: have such a big centralized bureaucracy with the CDC. Literally 1205 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,760 Speaker 1: the doctor in Seattle broke the law to try to 1206 01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:07,959 Speaker 1: help and track this and do a pretty good job. 1207 01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 1: So I think that we after this, we need to 1208 01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:14,120 Speaker 1: rethink how we deal maybe in more decentralized Well, well, 1209 01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,080 Speaker 1: I you know, I have mentioned that story, and I've 1210 01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,400 Speaker 1: been saying to people, you know, this is where you know, 1211 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,240 Speaker 1: in the early days, it was oh, you know, the CDC, 1212 01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,120 Speaker 1: the CDC, the CDC funding and everything else. And I'm like, 1213 01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 1: I told people, you know, I worked for the CIA, 1214 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 1: which you know has a lot a lot of funding 1215 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,280 Speaker 1: and a lot of people working for it and thinks 1216 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,080 Speaker 1: it's really pretty high speed and cool, and if people 1217 01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 1: knew the mistakes that go on there, I can't even imagine. Like, 1218 01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:40,440 Speaker 1: look that The fact of the matter is that if 1219 01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,760 Speaker 1: you're going to be a researcher in the medical profession, 1220 01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,240 Speaker 1: CDC I'm sure is a good place to go before 1221 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:48,040 Speaker 1: you go into other places. But I think Big Pharma 1222 01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,480 Speaker 1: is more likely to actually come up with something that's 1223 01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,160 Speaker 1: really going to help this in the next six to 1224 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:56,400 Speaker 1: twelve months. Dennis CDC will oh my god. Yeah, I mean, 1225 01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,440 Speaker 1: you know, you can't foresee this stuff sometime, so I 1226 01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,080 Speaker 1: don't know how quickly they can move either, but but 1227 01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 1: obviously they move far quicker than government, and uh, you know, 1228 01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:10,360 Speaker 1: I already saw, you know, the rumors of ad vaccines 1229 01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:13,720 Speaker 1: being created in Israel and other places with these pharmaceutical companies. 1230 01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:17,440 Speaker 1: I don't you know, the CDC is a disaster. It 1231 01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,560 Speaker 1: started out as a agency to help fight malaria, right, 1232 01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,960 Speaker 1: and now you know it's it's a massive budget, spends 1233 01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:26,800 Speaker 1: most of its time telling us what, you know, what 1234 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,440 Speaker 1: fruits we should be eating, and you know how much 1235 01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:31,560 Speaker 1: we should be walking and stuff that's none of its 1236 01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:35,800 Speaker 1: business as a massive, massive budget and hasn't really been 1237 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,080 Speaker 1: cut at all. That's that's just the myth anyway. But 1238 01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:40,919 Speaker 1: I've been writing about the CDC for a long time 1239 01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:43,720 Speaker 1: and there they're just a nanti state organization. They have 1240 01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,600 Speaker 1: far more important things to be worried about. But still 1241 01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:48,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want them in control of it. I think 1242 01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:52,040 Speaker 1: I trust farmer companies far more than I do. You know, 1243 01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:54,160 Speaker 1: any kind of centralized group. And also, I mean think 1244 01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 1: about this. You have China or Italy, and I'm not 1245 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,760 Speaker 1: saying they have a similar sized, similar kind of centralized 1246 01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,680 Speaker 1: socialized medicine, but they are centralized, right, and their reactions 1247 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,360 Speaker 1: have not been good at all. So I don't know 1248 01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,400 Speaker 1: that you know that that and we'll see these other 1249 01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,400 Speaker 1: countries how they're going to deal with it now. So 1250 01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's any sort of there's not 1251 01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:16,760 Speaker 1: one answer to this kind of thing, and it's it's 1252 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,240 Speaker 1: difficult no matter how prepared you are. People don't have 1253 01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 1: to realize that you don't have some solution to everything immediately. 1254 01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,720 Speaker 1: All right, Well, good luck with the social distancing, keep 1255 01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,960 Speaker 1: yours yours close in hand and safe. And David, we 1256 01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:30,760 Speaker 1: always appreciate you making the time a chat with us. 1257 01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:35,919 Speaker 1: Thank you anytime to do too. You're in the Freedom Hunt. 1258 01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:43,200 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. You know, they 1259 01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,440 Speaker 1: keep telling us that we need to be adults and 1260 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,560 Speaker 1: that Trump needs to be an adult, and that you 1261 01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,960 Speaker 1: know that this is all about rising above partisan rancor 1262 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:52,640 Speaker 1: and all this stuff. I mean, here's a tweet from 1263 01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,440 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton from this morning. I know this is all 1264 01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:57,560 Speaker 1: hard for you real, Donald Trump, So let me spell 1265 01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:01,760 Speaker 1: it out. Free testing, fee waivers, emergency say leave, quarantines, cancelations, 1266 01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:07,360 Speaker 1: giving a dam She really the president doesn't give a damn. 1267 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,960 Speaker 1: The president might end up getting coronavirus. I assure you 1268 01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:16,000 Speaker 1: the president gives a dam But why do that? Can't 1269 01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:17,880 Speaker 1: can't put that on hold for just you know, a 1270 01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:21,439 Speaker 1: few a few weeks here, even a few days. They're 1271 01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:23,080 Speaker 1: all talking about how we have to come together and 1272 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,360 Speaker 1: face this and do what is necessary. And then they 1273 01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:28,760 Speaker 1: turn around immediately and they want a lecture all of us. 1274 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:30,800 Speaker 1: I mean, here's another example. There's all this fighting over 1275 01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 1: whether we should call it Wuhan virus, whether that's racist 1276 01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:37,960 Speaker 1: or not, or Chinese coronavirus. Here's how the media was 1277 01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:39,720 Speaker 1: referring to it as of you know, about a week 1278 01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:42,600 Speaker 1: and a half ago. Play clip one. The Wuhan coronavirus 1279 01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:45,120 Speaker 1: has now surpassed the two thousand and three Stars outbreak. 1280 01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,720 Speaker 1: The first two s case of Chinese coronavirus was confirmed 1281 01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:52,000 Speaker 1: at Her Hospital. Of Her hospitals inside that building is 1282 01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:55,959 Speaker 1: the world's first labrum copy of the Uhan coronavirus outside 1283 01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:00,040 Speaker 1: mainland China. The Chinese coronavirus death toll has jumped to 1284 01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,760 Speaker 1: at least twenty six people. The death toll from the 1285 01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:07,240 Speaker 1: Wuhan coronavirus spike today. The Chinese virus the coronavirus that 1286 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:11,000 Speaker 1: is worrying the whole world. This comes as the Chinese 1287 01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:15,000 Speaker 1: coronavirus death toll has jumped to at least twenty six 1288 01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:19,080 Speaker 1: people and sickened at least eight hundred and thirty five people. 1289 01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,320 Speaker 1: They did they just discover xenophobia and racism in the 1290 01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 1: last week. Oh, those are all different shows on major 1291 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,439 Speaker 1: cable news networks, all calling it either Chinese or Wuhan 1292 01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,439 Speaker 1: coronavirus or whatever. So was that racist or I just 1293 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:34,360 Speaker 1: I just want to know what the rules are here. 1294 01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,800 Speaker 1: I know there are more important there are more important things. 1295 01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:39,880 Speaker 1: Although you could you could play that game with everything, right, 1296 01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:41,960 Speaker 1: So now, are we allowed to talk about the toilet 1297 01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,000 Speaker 1: paper shortage? We're just Oh, there's more important things. Are 1298 01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,040 Speaker 1: we allowed to talk about you know, what it's like 1299 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,720 Speaker 1: to live in the world that's in the midst of this? 1300 01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:51,519 Speaker 1: Or do we have to just all sit around and 1301 01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:53,880 Speaker 1: look at the statistics and be terrified all the time. 1302 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:55,400 Speaker 1: And we know life has to go on. We have 1303 01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,200 Speaker 1: to move on together. That's why I said we're gonna 1304 01:09:58,200 --> 01:09:59,680 Speaker 1: do this show day and day in and day out. 1305 01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:01,759 Speaker 1: We're where we have things to talk about. I'm sorry 1306 01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:05,120 Speaker 1: we haven't done a greater range of topics today. I'd 1307 01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:07,200 Speaker 1: meant to get to some other things, but look, right now, 1308 01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:10,920 Speaker 1: truth is, this is the single biggest thing by far. 1309 01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,640 Speaker 1: Nothing else even comes close to this story in the 1310 01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,720 Speaker 1: entire world, never mind us here in America. So that's 1311 01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,240 Speaker 1: why we've been spending the time in it that we have. 1312 01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:23,160 Speaker 1: You know, what do I see? I want to tell 1313 01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:24,519 Speaker 1: you a little bit of what I what I see 1314 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,200 Speaker 1: coming here, just so we can get on the same 1315 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,479 Speaker 1: page with that. I'll have some other thoughts for you 1316 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,479 Speaker 1: on you know, there was a Supreme Court victory, well 1317 01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,120 Speaker 1: short term victory leased for the Trump administration on something 1318 01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:37,000 Speaker 1: that does still matter. And then producer Mark and I 1319 01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:40,840 Speaker 1: will kind of, you know, take a breather by having 1320 01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:42,880 Speaker 1: you guys tell us what you think in roll call. 1321 01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The bus Esson Show podcasts. Remember 1322 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,519 Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeart Radio app, or 1323 01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:54,639 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Perhaps here's a moment where 1324 01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,320 Speaker 1: we can talk about some other stories, some of the 1325 01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,080 Speaker 1: things that are happening in the country right now. There 1326 01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:04,000 Speaker 1: was a a stay granted yesterday on a federal court 1327 01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:05,800 Speaker 1: ruling has to do with the southern border. Now, look, 1328 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,800 Speaker 1: everything now also has a bit of a of a 1329 01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:14,519 Speaker 1: whun virus tie in because everything is affected by this, 1330 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:18,120 Speaker 1: and so we're talking about borders. We need secure borders. 1331 01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,120 Speaker 1: I think there's a greater understanding now of that than 1332 01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:23,040 Speaker 1: there has been in a long time, or at least 1333 01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,080 Speaker 1: there should be a greater understanding of that. I'm not 1334 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,000 Speaker 1: sure that people have. No one changes their mind these 1335 01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:28,840 Speaker 1: days about anything right now. You can never change your 1336 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:30,799 Speaker 1: mind when new facts come in. That would be crazy. 1337 01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:35,040 Speaker 1: But there was a federal judge this keeps happening, federal 1338 01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:38,680 Speaker 1: judge who told the Trump administration, no, you can't, you 1339 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:41,479 Speaker 1: can't do that thing that you want to do. We're 1340 01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:43,559 Speaker 1: going I as a federal judge, I'm going to say 1341 01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:47,800 Speaker 1: that that's not constitutional, that's that's illegal for some reason. 1342 01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:51,800 Speaker 1: Usually the fallback is the Administrative Procedure Act, you know, 1343 01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:55,680 Speaker 1: that had just come up with some twisted you know, 1344 01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,240 Speaker 1: just try and way too hard legal ease to try 1345 01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,519 Speaker 1: and explore lane why we are where we are on 1346 01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:05,639 Speaker 1: all this stuff. Right, So this is where you get. Finally, 1347 01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,479 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court they will look at this and say no, no, no, 1348 01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:13,200 Speaker 1: you gotta let They've they've lifted the stay that stopped 1349 01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:17,719 Speaker 1: the Trump administration from implementing the remain in Mexico program. 1350 01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:22,120 Speaker 1: The Remaining Mexico programs pretty straightforward. It was set up 1351 01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,920 Speaker 1: so that if you come to the US Mexico border 1352 01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:28,840 Speaker 1: and you claim asylum, you no longer get to just 1353 01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,080 Speaker 1: get released in the interior of the United States, because 1354 01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:34,080 Speaker 1: this was just a huge backdoor process to come into 1355 01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,400 Speaker 1: the country and break the law and doing so showing 1356 01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,280 Speaker 1: up because the ports of entry, they tried to limit 1357 01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:42,240 Speaker 1: how many people were coming through through these through the 1358 01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,200 Speaker 1: asylum process the ports of entry. So what they would 1359 01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:47,040 Speaker 1: do is they would just come across the border illegally, 1360 01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:51,120 Speaker 1: get arrested and then never show up for their court date, 1361 01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:53,000 Speaker 1: or if they do show up and they don't get asylum, 1362 01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,559 Speaker 1: they don't show up for their deportation hearing. They are 1363 01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 1: all these levels that it moves through in which and 1364 01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:01,599 Speaker 1: by the way, people about this, oh my gosh, it's 1365 01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,040 Speaker 1: there are so many Democrats. Oh, they all show up 1366 01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:06,120 Speaker 1: at their meetings, They'll all show up at the court hearings. 1367 01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:09,479 Speaker 1: I promise. No, they didn't. Of course they didn't. They 1368 01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,000 Speaker 1: were never going to We all knew that. But people 1369 01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,599 Speaker 1: lie while it was useful to them about this because 1370 01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:18,200 Speaker 1: there's a big ideological investment that the left has in 1371 01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:25,040 Speaker 1: being quasi open borders, right, that's the that's the real 1372 01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:28,960 Speaker 1: issue here. They don't want it doesn't matter what the 1373 01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,280 Speaker 1: facts are, it doesn't matter what the numbers are. They 1374 01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:37,360 Speaker 1: are just going to always favor a policy that keeps 1375 01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:41,599 Speaker 1: us all with this open borders, de facto open border 1376 01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:43,559 Speaker 1: status where if you show up you get to just say, hey, 1377 01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:45,320 Speaker 1: I want to claim a sound then it release the 1378 01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:49,200 Speaker 1: United States. So the Supreme Court said, no, no, no, no, no, 1379 01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:50,800 Speaker 1: they have to be able to continue the remain in 1380 01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:54,160 Speaker 1: Mexico program because what that well, what it does, I 1381 01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:57,280 Speaker 1: should they the administration must be allowed to do this 1382 01:13:57,400 --> 01:13:59,840 Speaker 1: because what it does is it takes people and says 1383 01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,480 Speaker 1: you have to wait in Mexico while your claim is adjudicated, 1384 01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:03,800 Speaker 1: so you don't get to have this back to our 1385 01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,360 Speaker 1: entrance in the United States. It's all it says, that's 1386 01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:08,280 Speaker 1: all the policy is. And I think they're eighty thousand 1387 01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:11,320 Speaker 1: people already who and guess what, Oh, what a surprise, 1388 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:13,200 Speaker 1: all these people that were showing up saying, oh yeah, 1389 01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:16,240 Speaker 1: I want asylum, not if they have to actually wait 1390 01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:18,439 Speaker 1: and show up in court and stay on the Mexico 1391 01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:20,800 Speaker 1: side of the border. Because it was all a scam, 1392 01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:22,439 Speaker 1: and we knew it was a scam and I told 1393 01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:24,920 Speaker 1: you it was and we were right. Okay, So the 1394 01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,360 Speaker 1: Supreme Court except for Soda Mayor, who I think is 1395 01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:32,639 Speaker 1: clearly the least capable lawyer sitting on the Supreme Court, 1396 01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:35,880 Speaker 1: just based on her decisions, based on the way that 1397 01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:38,320 Speaker 1: she you know, the way that she asked questions, based 1398 01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,560 Speaker 1: on her judgment, and then as a judge, she's a 1399 01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:48,519 Speaker 1: deeply flawed and really subpar legal mind. And she you 1400 01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:50,599 Speaker 1: know what she says, no, you know, oh, of course, 1401 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,160 Speaker 1: because it's not a policy thing for her right she 1402 01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:55,519 Speaker 1: sees the Trump administration, it says, you can't do this. 1403 01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:58,800 Speaker 1: You have no control over borders, even though you're the 1404 01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:03,360 Speaker 1: executive branch. You that command in chief not allowed. The 1405 01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:06,360 Speaker 1: other the other judges said no, no, no, okay, you know, 1406 01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:08,800 Speaker 1: you got to let the administration do this. This can't 1407 01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:13,680 Speaker 1: be the hashtag judiciary getting its way, because that's what 1408 01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:15,960 Speaker 1: they've been doing all along. They're trying to slow down 1409 01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,720 Speaker 1: the president, trying to prevent him from being able to 1410 01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:21,840 Speaker 1: do his job use the powers that he has. And 1411 01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:27,200 Speaker 1: then then you also get this update from Immigrations and 1412 01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:31,920 Speaker 1: Customs Enforcement. They say that a current deportation rates, it 1413 01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:36,160 Speaker 1: would take one hundred and forty years to remove all 1414 01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:38,439 Speaker 1: the illegal immigrants who came in during the border surge 1415 01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:44,160 Speaker 1: of the last two years. A hundred and forty years, folks. 1416 01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:46,120 Speaker 1: That's just for the people that came in the last 1417 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:49,640 Speaker 1: two years. Never mind, you know, the process of the 1418 01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,280 Speaker 1: speed with which we are able to generally deport people 1419 01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:55,360 Speaker 1: who are in the country illegally and who commit additional crimes, 1420 01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:57,800 Speaker 1: or who for whatever reason, are higher up on the 1421 01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 1: enforcement on the enforcement list. So they added nine hundred 1422 01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:09,120 Speaker 1: thousand cases to ICE's non detained docket. ICE is non 1423 01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,759 Speaker 1: detained docket, according to the Acting Director of Immigration's Customer 1424 01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:17,519 Speaker 1: Enforcement now has three point three million people in it. 1425 01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:21,360 Speaker 1: The number of illegal immigrants in the country is not 1426 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:25,840 Speaker 1: eleven million, folks, it's fifteen to twenty at least at least. 1427 01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,240 Speaker 1: This is also why the government, which we see has 1428 01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:31,840 Speaker 1: plenty of problems in a lot of ways. The government 1429 01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:33,920 Speaker 1: never really wants to do a full and accurate account 1430 01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:36,360 Speaker 1: of this because we'd find out that the government numbers 1431 01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:37,920 Speaker 1: have been wrong and that we've been lied to on 1432 01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:41,080 Speaker 1: this for a very very long time. And now I 1433 01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:46,720 Speaker 1: have to say, we can't really talk about the coronavirus situation, 1434 01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:49,519 Speaker 1: and we can't really talk about the border, and given 1435 01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:53,719 Speaker 1: the coronavirus situation, not discuss how isn't it really important 1436 01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:55,479 Speaker 1: now that we have control of our ports of entry 1437 01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:57,000 Speaker 1: and that we know who's coming into the country and 1438 01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:00,360 Speaker 1: who's not. If you were somebody and look at some 1439 01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:03,120 Speaker 1: point we do. This is where we're also saying that 1440 01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:06,439 Speaker 1: the United States has finite resources. We do not have 1441 01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:08,519 Speaker 1: the resources to pay for everyone stuff from all over 1442 01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 1: the world. We do not have the resources to be 1443 01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:13,960 Speaker 1: the world's soup kitchen and healthcare ward. We don't have that. 1444 01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:19,160 Speaker 1: We can't do it right. We know this. We're already 1445 01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:22,080 Speaker 1: seeing other countries that their health systems have been overwhelmed 1446 01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:26,320 Speaker 1: in a crisis. Now, if you were in the midst 1447 01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:27,920 Speaker 1: of what could be an outbreak, I don't know, in 1448 01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:31,360 Speaker 1: a country south of our border, pick any country, and 1449 01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:34,200 Speaker 1: you knew that America's border was porous, and that if 1450 01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:37,479 Speaker 1: you got here you'd be able to count on world 1451 01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:40,360 Speaker 1: class medical care given to you free of charge. You 1452 01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:42,960 Speaker 1: know that might be a big incentive. But keep in 1453 01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,720 Speaker 1: mind that we all ready with the people that are 1454 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,640 Speaker 1: here in this country are very worried about having the 1455 01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:53,200 Speaker 1: surge capacity and hospitals to deal with the increase in 1456 01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:55,400 Speaker 1: the You know, if we have a sudden massive increase 1457 01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:57,920 Speaker 1: in the number of infected people in this country, having 1458 01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:02,519 Speaker 1: that searge capacity something that we may not have, we 1459 01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:04,920 Speaker 1: don't really have right now, we'd have to work at it. 1460 01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,800 Speaker 1: In a very interestant that I heard in the conversation 1461 01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:11,760 Speaker 1: over masks. You know, they have the N ninety five 1462 01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:16,960 Speaker 1: masks with the respirators that they can use for medical purposes, 1463 01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,559 Speaker 1: but also the ones that are that are industrial grain 1464 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:22,280 Speaker 1: I think, or for commercial activity. You know, people use 1465 01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:25,519 Speaker 1: for industrial purposes where you have sometimes very noxious chemicals 1466 01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:29,840 Speaker 1: and things that can have gases that are you know, 1467 01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:33,439 Speaker 1: a big concern for health reasons. They can change the 1468 01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:39,519 Speaker 1: they can change the designation, just change the regulation around this, 1469 01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:42,280 Speaker 1: and then you'd have millions more masks immediately that would 1470 01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:44,720 Speaker 1: be able to be used. This is where government, you see, 1471 01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,240 Speaker 1: government actually gets in the way sometimes. Apparently the masks 1472 01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,600 Speaker 1: for the industrial use are just as effective as that now. 1473 01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:51,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that that's what I saw today. 1474 01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:55,000 Speaker 1: I think it was Kevin McCarthy of the Congress saying that, 1475 01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:57,439 Speaker 1: so there are things that need to be done here, 1476 01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:00,200 Speaker 1: but we also need a secure border and we also 1477 01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:03,599 Speaker 1: need travel bands. Isn't it so interesting that the Trump 1478 01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:07,439 Speaker 1: administration came in and established the right and it went 1479 01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:09,479 Speaker 1: all the way to the Supreme Court, established the right 1480 01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:13,679 Speaker 1: to be able to for a national security emergency banned 1481 01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:17,040 Speaker 1: different countries from entering the United States. That the left 1482 01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:20,760 Speaker 1: fought this tooth and nail. There were protests, people were 1483 01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,560 Speaker 1: showing up, protesting in airports that we were told this 1484 01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:28,400 Speaker 1: was an evil policy, a racist policy. And now if 1485 01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,960 Speaker 1: you're looking at what we have done right so far 1486 01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:35,120 Speaker 1: in this country to deal with the outbreak of Wahana virus, 1487 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:39,120 Speaker 1: it has been the single most important decision probably that 1488 01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,479 Speaker 1: Trump has made of all decisions so far using that 1489 01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:45,479 Speaker 1: authority that if the left had had its way, the 1490 01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 1: president would not have even had And just the entire 1491 01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:51,280 Speaker 1: focus on our border and having a more secure border 1492 01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:57,800 Speaker 1: is clearly something that you know, the left doesn't want. 1493 01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:00,760 Speaker 1: And now we see this and understand that it is 1494 01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:04,760 Speaker 1: important for not just immigration is not just an issue 1495 01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:07,759 Speaker 1: but economics, it's not just a cultural and political issue. 1496 01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:11,639 Speaker 1: Immigration is also in that it is a true national 1497 01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:14,120 Speaker 1: security issue because and this is really with the conversation 1498 01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:18,000 Speaker 1: with David before started to get into that this is 1499 01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:20,759 Speaker 1: not an economic issue. We're not in a financial crisis. 1500 01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:26,880 Speaker 1: We are in a disease pandemic right. We are really 1501 01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:31,400 Speaker 1: under attack. We are facing an invasion by a pathogen. 1502 01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:35,160 Speaker 1: And this is where federal government response has to be 1503 01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:40,160 Speaker 1: robust and where you see the authority that we give 1504 01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:43,639 Speaker 1: to the government to protect us needs to be used properly. 1505 01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:48,759 Speaker 1: But part of that is establishing control over our borders, 1506 01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:52,080 Speaker 1: who comes and who goes. There are real national security 1507 01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:56,439 Speaker 1: implications that immigration touches on. That's not just a talking 1508 01:20:56,520 --> 01:21:00,400 Speaker 1: point that Republicans throw out there. And I do think 1509 01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:03,719 Speaker 1: it's noteworthy that the travel band authority of the President 1510 01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,040 Speaker 1: had to go all over the Supreme Court to assert 1511 01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:09,200 Speaker 1: that travel band authority was something that was challenged very 1512 01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:11,640 Speaker 1: much by the left and that they were against him 1513 01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:13,439 Speaker 1: on this. And it may be the one thing if 1514 01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:17,200 Speaker 1: we get out of this without having a catastrophic surge 1515 01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:20,320 Speaker 1: in cases, people are going to look back at the 1516 01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:24,680 Speaker 1: decision to limit those flights and say, Wow, that might 1517 01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:29,800 Speaker 1: have saved a lot of lives. You're in the freedom hunt. 1518 01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:36,920 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Just over a 1519 01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:40,920 Speaker 1: week ago, many of the punditsks declared that this candidacy 1520 01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:44,120 Speaker 1: was dead. Now we're very much alive. If we're various 1521 01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:51,439 Speaker 1: high together, we're regenerating a democratic based It's more than 1522 01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:55,120 Speaker 1: a comeback to my view our campaign. So come back 1523 01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:57,439 Speaker 1: to the soul of the station. There's a place in 1524 01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:00,720 Speaker 1: our campaign for each of you. And I want to 1525 01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:04,840 Speaker 1: thank Bernie Sanders and a supporters for their tireless energy 1526 01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:09,360 Speaker 1: and their passion. We share a common goal and together 1527 01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:16,960 Speaker 1: we'll defeat Donald Trump. We'll defeat them together, we'll see. Well. 1528 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,160 Speaker 1: I was talking before about how this is Trump in 1529 01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:23,040 Speaker 1: wartime presidency moote, and that is definitely what's going on. 1530 01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:28,680 Speaker 1: But you also have to understand that this is effectively 1531 01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:33,400 Speaker 1: the election. I believe the election, for all intents and purposes, 1532 01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:37,000 Speaker 1: will be determined. What will be decided in the minds 1533 01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:39,479 Speaker 1: of the American people in the next sixty days. This 1534 01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:43,519 Speaker 1: is it now. What's much If you told me right 1535 01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:47,479 Speaker 1: now that we could have zero casualties from this and 1536 01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:51,920 Speaker 1: there would be a Biden presidency, guess what I'd say. 1537 01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:55,439 Speaker 1: We got a President Biden coming in the single most 1538 01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:57,880 Speaker 1: important thing here, no question is that this is dealt 1539 01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:00,280 Speaker 1: with properly by the government. Now. Of course, if Trump 1540 01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:03,640 Speaker 1: administration were now, we already have casualties. I know that, 1541 01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:06,000 Speaker 1: but I'm saying theoretically, the most important thing. I'm just 1542 01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:08,760 Speaker 1: trying to focus on what matters. The most important thing 1543 01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:14,800 Speaker 1: is that we have a strong government and collective and 1544 01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:18,240 Speaker 1: individual response to this. This is really on everybody, you know. 1545 01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:21,160 Speaker 1: I really hope that people that have a bad cough 1546 01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:24,320 Speaker 1: and they have the symptoms don't get on the subway, like, 1547 01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:27,400 Speaker 1: don't do these This is all very important. Don't do 1548 01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:29,920 Speaker 1: the things you're told not to do, you know, protect 1549 01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:33,519 Speaker 1: the people around you, stay home. I think it's a 1550 01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:38,200 Speaker 1: fourteen day quarantine is what they're recommending for people. So, 1551 01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:42,440 Speaker 1: you know, there are very real reasons here for optimism, 1552 01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:46,559 Speaker 1: but there's also reasons to be on high alert about 1553 01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:49,280 Speaker 1: what the future is going to hold here. But the 1554 01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:53,639 Speaker 1: political implications of this are quite clear, meaning that we're 1555 01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:55,360 Speaker 1: going to be able to assess how this was done, 1556 01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:58,600 Speaker 1: how well this was done. And you know, I just 1557 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:01,680 Speaker 1: wish that they Democrats and the left that are using 1558 01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:04,760 Speaker 1: this as a weapon to attack Trump all the time, 1559 01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:07,680 Speaker 1: it would trust in the American people's judgment. If this 1560 01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:10,840 Speaker 1: thing is a catastrophe and the Trump administration is held 1561 01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:13,640 Speaker 1: to account for it. They'll be held to account in 1562 01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:15,519 Speaker 1: the fall as well. I mean, this is something that 1563 01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:17,720 Speaker 1: no one's going to forget. And I think that this 1564 01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:22,720 Speaker 1: is where we see how capable Trump really is. He's 1565 01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:25,080 Speaker 1: being tested every now he says, Oh, administrations are tested 1566 01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:28,280 Speaker 1: by different things. You know, administrations are tested. This is 1567 01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:31,000 Speaker 1: Trump's test right now. I think he is up to it. 1568 01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:34,080 Speaker 1: The other side of this is that they keep telling 1569 01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:36,040 Speaker 1: us that Biden is up to it, and to that 1570 01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:41,520 Speaker 1: I just I have I have questions. I have questions. 1571 01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:47,920 Speaker 1: Here is Biden's spokesperson, Kate Bettingfield on why is it? 1572 01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:50,160 Speaker 1: Why is it that Joe Biden drifts off and sounds 1573 01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:52,439 Speaker 1: like he's on a Seriously, it sounds like he's in 1574 01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:55,040 Speaker 1: some other universe sometimes. Here's what she said, play fourteen. 1575 01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:58,200 Speaker 1: Is Joe Biden fit to be commander in chief? How 1576 01:24:58,200 --> 01:24:59,880 Speaker 1: do you answer that? You know, I have to say, 1577 01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:03,560 Speaker 1: this is a disgusting smear tactic, and this kind of 1578 01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:06,920 Speaker 1: thing is exactly why people want Joe Biden to be president. 1579 01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:12,599 Speaker 1: This kind of false, you know, misleading basically conspiracy theory 1580 01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 1: that you know, let's talk about hang on, how is 1581 01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:20,519 Speaker 1: it a smear tactic to ask you about a video 1582 01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:23,880 Speaker 1: where the vice president, in his own words, struggles to 1583 01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,840 Speaker 1: complete a sentence? How is that a smear tactic? And respectfully, 1584 01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:28,840 Speaker 1: how many times have you struggled to complete a sentence? 1585 01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:34,439 Speaker 1: That's ridiculous? Of course, let's roll, let's roll the tape. Well, 1586 01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:38,400 Speaker 1: going after the host? Huh No, I've I've watched a 1587 01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:40,479 Speaker 1: lot of it at Henry actually, and I've never looked 1588 01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:42,760 Speaker 1: at at Henry in a moment where he knows he's 1589 01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:46,519 Speaker 1: being televised, where he knows. I've looked at many, many, 1590 01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:49,000 Speaker 1: many hosts on TV, and never have I thought, Wow, 1591 01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:52,400 Speaker 1: is that person? Does that person have failing mental faculties? 1592 01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,639 Speaker 1: And I do think that you can say with Joe Biden, 1593 01:25:56,760 --> 01:26:00,960 Speaker 1: sometimes that's a real that is an earnest conclusion you 1594 01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:05,080 Speaker 1: could come to, and the health of the commander in 1595 01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:07,920 Speaker 1: chief is a real consideration. We know they've been talking 1596 01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,280 Speaker 1: about this with Trump all along. They've they've been going 1597 01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:15,000 Speaker 1: after Trump members of the press for being overweight. They 1598 01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:18,240 Speaker 1: say that's a problem, you know, Oh, of course, mostly 1599 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:21,479 Speaker 1: so they can just mock him because they absolutely despise him. 1600 01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:24,679 Speaker 1: But they say that his weight itself is a problem 1601 01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:28,599 Speaker 1: because it indicates that he could have other sudden health problems. 1602 01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:30,000 Speaker 1: He could have a heart attack, or could have any 1603 01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:35,000 Speaker 1: number of these different things that happen. Look, I don't 1604 01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:38,120 Speaker 1: think that Joe Biden is more competent than Donald Trump 1605 01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,200 Speaker 1: in a crisis. And that's really what this is going 1606 01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:41,760 Speaker 1: to come down to. That's going to be a key 1607 01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:45,200 Speaker 1: question that's asked here. I don't think there's any reason 1608 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:50,680 Speaker 1: to believe that's the case. But I also want more 1609 01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:53,519 Speaker 1: than anything this to pass and for us to get 1610 01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,160 Speaker 1: the other side of this, and I do think, by 1611 01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:57,559 Speaker 1: the way, well we're going to get there. I know today, Look, 1612 01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,160 Speaker 1: today has been a little bit of a gloomy day 1613 01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:02,160 Speaker 1: an American for the world, folks, And we're in a 1614 01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:04,240 Speaker 1: rough spot right now. There's no question about it. The 1615 01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:07,479 Speaker 1: economy is absolutely in free fall, not because we have 1616 01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:09,800 Speaker 1: a bad economy, but because people are staying home because 1617 01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:15,200 Speaker 1: we're under assault by this disease. But you know, and 1618 01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:18,120 Speaker 1: I also think back to at the end of last year, 1619 01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,760 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you this, I sat down with my 1620 01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:23,320 Speaker 1: with my mom, and I remember it for the first 1621 01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:26,439 Speaker 1: time a really long time, I just was able to say, 1622 01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:29,559 Speaker 1: you know, things are really good. You know, things are 1623 01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:32,120 Speaker 1: really good in my life. I was happy and things 1624 01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:34,880 Speaker 1: were going well, and you know, the show is doing 1625 01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:37,400 Speaker 1: really well, and I get the hangout producer Mark every day. 1626 01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:40,320 Speaker 1: You know, things were just good in life. And I 1627 01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:42,120 Speaker 1: remember I said it, not because I thought it was 1628 01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:43,759 Speaker 1: going to continue, it because I knew that I wouldn't. 1629 01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:46,360 Speaker 1: I knew that there would be challenges. I knew there 1630 01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:48,200 Speaker 1: were the things in the horizon, and not just for me. 1631 01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:51,479 Speaker 1: But what was the next big challenge? You know, We've 1632 01:27:51,479 --> 01:27:53,680 Speaker 1: had nine to eleven, We've had the financial crisis. We 1633 01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,639 Speaker 1: were due for something, and I never liked to think 1634 01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:58,559 Speaker 1: that way, but I knew it was. It was there, 1635 01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:02,200 Speaker 1: and that's we are right now. We are in the 1636 01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:06,840 Speaker 1: midst of our once in a decade major challenge as 1637 01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:09,760 Speaker 1: a country, as a nation, as a people, and I 1638 01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:12,559 Speaker 1: am still very confident in our ability. I mean, if 1639 01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:14,479 Speaker 1: I had more money to invest in the stock market, 1640 01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:16,479 Speaker 1: I mean, I've already invested a lot, and I've invested 1641 01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:18,120 Speaker 1: and I've lost a lot of money in the last month, 1642 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:20,200 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna keep it, you know, But now I 1643 01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:22,519 Speaker 1: shouldn't say I have lost money. I've invested. I believe 1644 01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:25,080 Speaker 1: it those investments will be made whole in time as 1645 01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:27,639 Speaker 1: the economy recovers. But you know what, even if it doesn't, 1646 01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:31,759 Speaker 1: I vote in favor of America. I vote to support America. 1647 01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:33,600 Speaker 1: I want to keep businesses stocks up. I want to 1648 01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:35,000 Speaker 1: do what I can, you know, what little I can 1649 01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:37,280 Speaker 1: to show that I have faith in this place, because 1650 01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:39,559 Speaker 1: I do. We have been through worse, we have been 1651 01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:41,840 Speaker 1: through more. We're going to get through this one too. 1652 01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:45,479 Speaker 1: So today is a day we can all, you know, 1653 01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:47,439 Speaker 1: let it out a little bit, you know, shake it 1654 01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:50,880 Speaker 1: off a little bit. For sure, there's there's a understandable 1655 01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:54,400 Speaker 1: unease that I'm sure many of you feel. I know 1656 01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:56,080 Speaker 1: that I felt in the last twenty four hours more 1657 01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:58,320 Speaker 1: than I have so far. But I also think we'll 1658 01:28:58,320 --> 01:28:59,680 Speaker 1: wake up tomorrow. I'll be a new day and we'll 1659 01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:02,280 Speaker 1: feel like, all right, it's not over, but we're in 1660 01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:04,880 Speaker 1: the fight and we're gonna win the fight.

I talked 1668 01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:49,559 Speaker 1: to Prison Market this yesterday. We're trying to find out 1669 01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:52,439 Speaker 1: although right now we got bigger concerns obviously, but we 1670 01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:55,599 Speaker 1: are trying to get to a place where we can 1671 01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:58,960 Speaker 1: take your phone calls as voicemails so that we can 1672 01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:00,760 Speaker 1: play them on the air and you can hear from 1673 01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:02,200 Speaker 1: all of you. Want to hear some of your voices. 1674 01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:05,120 Speaker 1: So we're working on that. You know, it's not going 1675 01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:08,120 Speaker 1: to be right away, because like I said, we've got 1676 01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:10,479 Speaker 1: some contingency planning going on here to keep their Freedom 1677 01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:13,280 Speaker 1: Hunt firing no matter what.

So yeah, I mean, the big 1681 01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:21,439 Speaker 1: concern for us is if they shut down the subway 1682 01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:23,639 Speaker 1: here in New York because they just realized that it's 1683 01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:26,680 Speaker 1: the single worst transmission node in the whole city, which 1684 01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,760 Speaker 1: I mean probably is. I spend a lot of time 1685 01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:33,280 Speaker 1: on that subway that we can't get to work, and 1686 01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:35,120 Speaker 1: so that's why we have to set up the contingency plans. 1687 01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:38,080 Speaker 1: But anyway, we thought about this, we are going to 1688 01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:40,040 Speaker 1: make moves on it, and we got we got to 1689 01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:44,600 Speaker 1: kind of see what's going on from there.

I mean two 1711 01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:40,640 Speaker 1: paragraphs max. Two paragraphs is really One paragraph is a 1712 01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:43,600 Speaker 1: sweet spot. Two paragraphs is fine. Beyond that, we're not 1713 01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:44,719 Speaker 1: gonna be able to read it on the air because 1714 01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:46,639 Speaker 1: it's too long.

I will say that that day, 1766 01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:21,479 Speaker 1: I know they got the power and really quickly, but 1767 01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:23,639 Speaker 1: that day after Hurricane Sandy, when I was walking around 1768 01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,080 Speaker 1: and all these people didn't have power, it was it's 1769 01:34:26,120 --> 01:34:29,800 Speaker 1: a real shock. It's or not a shock as the case, maybe, 1770 01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:31,320 Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, it's it's it's really 1771 01:34:31,400 --> 01:34:34,960 Speaker 1: something that surprises you when you go to plug in 1772 01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:36,800 Speaker 1: your phone into the wall socket and you're really, oh, 1773 01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:38,280 Speaker 1: that's right, I'm in the dark, and this is the 1774 01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:40,080 Speaker 1: way it's going to be.

I'm with producer Mark 1813 01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:49,400 Speaker 1: Marvel movies are great, and these movies I can actually 1814 01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:52,800 Speaker 1: watch with my young ones shields high. So basically he's 1815 01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:54,599 Speaker 1: telling me I'm wrong about everything. That was a great 1816 01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:56,639 Speaker 1: email all around. Yeah, I was gonna say, that's apparently 1817 01:36:56,680 --> 01:36:59,000 Speaker 1: your favorite email of the day, cruser. Mark is awesome 1818 01:36:59,040 --> 01:37:02,720 Speaker 1: and right and are good buck, You're wrong. I mean 1819 01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:05,360 Speaker 1: it's to each of their own. But I personally enjoy 1820 01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:07,439 Speaker 1: cruises and soda a lot of people. Where'd you go 1821 01:37:07,520 --> 01:37:09,920 Speaker 1: in your cruise? Again? I was two years ago, I 1822 01:37:10,040 --> 01:37:12,720 Speaker 1: was Bahamas a couple other places I don't remember. How 1823 01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:14,720 Speaker 1: long do you dock and spend on the land, that's 1824 01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:17,280 Speaker 1: what I'm there. And how do you avoid getting left behind? Well, 1825 01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:20,000 Speaker 1: they tell you what time the boat's leaving, and if 1826 01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:22,559 Speaker 1: you don't get back like, there's actually people who get 1827 01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:25,000 Speaker 1: on the boat early and then go watch over the 1828 01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:29,000 Speaker 1: railings to watch the people sprinting down the dock so 1829 01:37:29,120 --> 01:37:31,200 Speaker 1: they don't miss the boat. Oh that's that. Actually people 1830 01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:33,559 Speaker 1: get close to missing the boat. Yeah, because they're stupid. 1831 01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:35,240 Speaker 1: And they don't look, they go get drunk on shore. 1832 01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:37,920 Speaker 1: What are the bars and they don't realize it and 1833 01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:40,240 Speaker 1: didn't realize my time. I'm guessing they don't sound like 1834 01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:42,200 Speaker 1: a little special helicopter for you like that kind of 1835 01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:44,439 Speaker 1: you have to make your own way. Do you have 1836 01:37:44,520 --> 01:37:46,880 Speaker 1: to go meet the boat? Yeah? Right, yeah, yeah, that's 1837 01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:50,679 Speaker 1: what I figured. Wow, Okay, that's a thing that happened. 1838 01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:53,720 Speaker 1: But how many hours are usually you go into I mean, 1839 01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:57,320 Speaker 1: the day one we ended up skipping a stop, so 1840 01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:00,639 Speaker 1: we were in Nassau, Bahamas for two days, But usually 1841 01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:03,280 Speaker 1: it's like eight to ten hours. You know. I actually 1842 01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:05,960 Speaker 1: hear the cruise ships that dock in New York from 1843 01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:08,679 Speaker 1: my apartment. I can hear the horns and stuff. That's 1844 01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:11,000 Speaker 1: where we went out of New York. Oh yeah, from 1845 01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:14,120 Speaker 1: Norwegian Cruise. There are cruise ships there. Yeah. Look, you know, 1846 01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:16,000 Speaker 1: I feel bad for the cruise industry because I think 1847 01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:18,200 Speaker 1: it's I'm sure there's you know, tons of great people 1848 01:38:18,240 --> 01:38:20,479 Speaker 1: that work in it and and they've given a lot 1849 01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:21,920 Speaker 1: of people a lot of joy over the years and 1850 01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:24,680 Speaker 1: everything else, and I mean they're just no one's going 1851 01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:26,360 Speaker 1: on cruises right now, oh yeah, right now. It would 1852 01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:28,080 Speaker 1: never go on a cruise. No, but but also think 1853 01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:32,000 Speaker 1: of I mean the economic damage. Yeah, I had one 1854 01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:37,240 Speaker 1: book for December. I'm hoping, hoping that still happens. Yeah, yeah, 1855 01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:39,400 Speaker 1: I've already got something on the books for end of 1856 01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:44,000 Speaker 1: this year. But it's not a cruise. But I'm hoping. 1857 01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:45,800 Speaker 1: Although I did look at airline tickets I was wondering. 1858 01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:48,400 Speaker 1: I was like, the airlines are having tickets are super expensive. Still, 1859 01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:50,840 Speaker 1: oh really, I've seen some deals. Well there are now 1860 01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:53,000 Speaker 1: depending where. But this was in for December. They're not 1861 01:38:53,040 --> 01:38:55,200 Speaker 1: going to give you a deal now for December. They're figuring. 1862 01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:57,400 Speaker 1: You know, they're using the algorithms. You only get a 1863 01:38:57,439 --> 01:38:59,000 Speaker 1: deal if you're get a plan. Get on a plane 1864 01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:03,280 Speaker 1: right now. Sure, different deal, Wayne hey Buck. This morning 1865 01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:05,160 Speaker 1: some liberal works in my shop was talking about how 1866 01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:08,120 Speaker 1: much Trump stinks. I said, what exactly stinks about Trump 1867 01:39:08,200 --> 01:39:10,760 Speaker 1: or what he's done? He said, Mexico isn't paying for 1868 01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:13,120 Speaker 1: the wall like he promised. I said, that's it, that's 1869 01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:16,559 Speaker 1: all you got, Orange man bad. I laughed, then said, 1870 01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:18,960 Speaker 1: you know, Mexico is paying for the wall, and China 1871 01:39:19,080 --> 01:39:22,120 Speaker 1: and whomever else. We have tariffs. With tariffs equals tax 1872 01:39:22,200 --> 01:39:25,200 Speaker 1: dollars equals military budget equals wall is being built. I 1873 01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:27,639 Speaker 1: never saw him turn so red shieldsaye, well, Wayne, you're 1874 01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:30,240 Speaker 1: very amusing and obviously good on your feet in a debate. 1875 01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:33,080 Speaker 1: Just don't don't make the Libs too angry because they 1876 01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:35,679 Speaker 1: can cry or maybe they'll even try to like scratch 1877 01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:38,080 Speaker 1: your eyes out or something. So just be careful, don't 1878 01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:40,880 Speaker 1: upset the libs too much. Wayne, All right, there are 1879 01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:47,400 Speaker 1: limits to the upsetting of the libs. Gina. Hi again, 1880 01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:49,920 Speaker 1: Buck heard. He's saying people were complaining about your stance 1881 01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:53,839 Speaker 1: on some of James O'Keefe's recent undercovers. I completely agree. 1882 01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:56,200 Speaker 1: I am reminded of one year or so ago where 1883 01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:58,600 Speaker 1: he actually planted false info to get the scoop the 1884 01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:02,400 Speaker 1: news agency actually did their research and decline to press forward. Honestly, 1885 01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:04,439 Speaker 1: it degraded some of his subsequent pieces. In my mind, 1886 01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:06,320 Speaker 1: it took a minute to get back on board. We 1887 01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:08,680 Speaker 1: need people like James, but these stories he needs to 1888 01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:12,360 Speaker 1: break need to be earth shattering revelations, not mediocre. Yeah, 1889 01:40:12,439 --> 01:40:15,360 Speaker 1: we know, tell us something new Shields high. Yeah, Gina, 1890 01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:16,880 Speaker 1: that's what I mean. I mean, you know, I can 1891 01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:18,519 Speaker 1: get any number of people who work for you know, 1892 01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:21,000 Speaker 1: I could maybe not me because they know I am now. 1893 01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:24,200 Speaker 1: But you go ask anybody at CNN if you're approached 1894 01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:25,800 Speaker 1: them in a social setting and get them a little 1895 01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:26,880 Speaker 1: drunk and be like, you know, what do you think 1896 01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:28,360 Speaker 1: what's going on over there? I'll be like, yeah, you know, 1897 01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:30,920 Speaker 1: we're not fair to Trump, but we don't. A lot 1898 01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:32,840 Speaker 1: of them would probably say that, you know, if they're 1899 01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:35,000 Speaker 1: lower level people. I mean the anchors wouldn't because they 1900 01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:36,840 Speaker 1: know that they've got to be all careful, right, But 1901 01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:39,519 Speaker 1: lower level people would say that you want to get 1902 01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:41,960 Speaker 1: them fired? What do you think that's gonna do? What's 1903 01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:44,519 Speaker 1: the point We already know what's going on over there. 1904 01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:47,479 Speaker 1: There's there's not there's a revelation. So I understand people 1905 01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:49,400 Speaker 1: really want to think that. Like James O'Keefe is always 1906 01:40:49,439 --> 01:40:51,519 Speaker 1: sticking at the lips, and sometimes he does, but sometimes 1907 01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:54,400 Speaker 1: he's wrong or reovershoots or remisses, just like all the 1908 01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:57,640 Speaker 1: rest of us. So Colin balls and strikes folks. What 1909 01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:02,120 Speaker 1: we do here in the hud You're in the freedom Hunt. 1910 01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:10,559 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. James' great name. 1911 01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:13,880 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer is an activist using his Senate seat to 1912 01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:17,360 Speaker 1: be an activist. Schumer does not care what he's what 1913 01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:20,040 Speaker 1: he says. He's using the virus and calling President Trump 1914 01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:22,719 Speaker 1: and competent to put fear in America and the American people. 1915 01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:26,240 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer is a fearmonger and attacking President Trump because 1916 01:41:26,280 --> 01:41:28,880 Speaker 1: he has hate towards conservatives and Trump. She'll tie from 1917 01:41:29,120 --> 01:41:33,600 Speaker 1: w G y Up in Albany. Well, James, thanks for 1918 01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:38,040 Speaker 1: writing him, And Yeah, I think Chuck Schumer is being 1919 01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:41,760 Speaker 1: really really gross about this whole virus situation. I do 1920 01:41:41,880 --> 01:41:43,519 Speaker 1: not think he's being helpful. I do not think he's 1921 01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:46,679 Speaker 1: being honest. And I think that you're seeing the character 1922 01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:48,400 Speaker 1: of some of these leaders in a way that we 1923 01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:51,080 Speaker 1: should all be very mindful of. We should we should remember, 1924 01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:53,519 Speaker 1: we should know that this is what this is what 1925 01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:59,000 Speaker 1: we're dealing with. Here we go Chopper. Every time I 1926 01:41:59,040 --> 01:42:01,960 Speaker 1: see that, I think, get to a chopper that's a 1927 01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:04,400 Speaker 1: different kind of chopper, though, Buck, it won't do any 1928 01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:07,240 Speaker 1: good now. But Charman is sold out. Oh, because Charman 1929 01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:09,880 Speaker 1: is sold out.

Wow, I'm getting 1932 01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:20,400 Speaker 1: TP recommendations now from the audience producer. There were a 1933 01:42:20,439 --> 01:42:26,360 Speaker 1: lot of them.

Yeah, usually our toilet papers on the sink 1953 01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:12,880 Speaker 1: like on the counter because none of us bother to 1954 01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:15,280 Speaker 1: change it, like we run out of the one on 1955 01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:16,880 Speaker 1: the roll when one of us actually puts it on 1956 01:43:17,439 --> 01:43:19,880 Speaker 1: the holder, and then it does remind me of that 1957 01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:23,839 Speaker 1: movie The Demolition Man with Wesley Snipes and Sylvester Stallone 1958 01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:26,360 Speaker 1: where they talk about the three cshells and you never 1959 01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:28,080 Speaker 1: find out how to use them. But that's in place 1960 01:43:28,160 --> 01:43:29,960 Speaker 1: of toilet paper, and they think it's so funny that 1961 01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:33,160 Speaker 1: salone comes from an era in which they used wads 1962 01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:36,880 Speaker 1: of paper for that purpose. And you know, we we 1963 01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:39,680 Speaker 1: lived a very advanced society. Now I feel like we 1964 01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:41,439 Speaker 1: probably could up our game on this a little bit. 1965 01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:45,240 Speaker 1: You know, do you want innovations in toilet paper? Well, 1966 01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:47,599 Speaker 1: I mean something better than toilet paper. I mean, wouldn't 1967 01:43:47,600 --> 01:43:50,760 Speaker 1: that be what a bidet is? Yeah, but you know 1968 01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:53,320 Speaker 1: that's that's a whole other thing. Don't you need to 1969 01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:56,280 Speaker 1: towel that afterwards? Like I think so? Actually, some in 1970 01:43:56,400 --> 01:43:58,519 Speaker 1: Japan have ones that then warm your buck. This is 1971 01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:01,479 Speaker 1: what I mean. Japan has like but cleaning and but 1972 01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:06,240 Speaker 1: warming instead of wiping. And you know that's advanced stuff 1973 01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:08,040 Speaker 1: that actually creeps me out a little bit because it's 1974 01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:10,320 Speaker 1: public toilets they have those in and like, wouldn't I 1975 01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:12,599 Speaker 1: get dirty? I don't know, I don't know. We're getting 1976 01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:15,840 Speaker 1: We're going We're going deep on this one, Larry A Buck. 1977 01:44:15,960 --> 01:44:18,320 Speaker 1: During the early part of your show, I heard AOC 1978 01:44:18,520 --> 01:44:22,000 Speaker 1: bleeding about the irreversible nature of climate change, climate change, 1979 01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:24,519 Speaker 1: and that we should be paying attention to it, whatever 1980 01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:27,400 Speaker 1: that's supposed to mean. I have one simple question for 1981 01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:32,120 Speaker 1: AOC and her ilk. If climate change is irreversible, which 1982 01:44:32,160 --> 01:44:34,880 Speaker 1: of course it is, why in the world there are 1983 01:44:34,880 --> 01:44:37,519 Speaker 1: some people proposing that we throw unspeakable a bounts of money, 1984 01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:40,160 Speaker 1: while at the same time devoting unknown numbers of man 1985 01:44:40,280 --> 01:44:42,760 Speaker 1: hours to dealing with the worldwide disruptions that some sort 1986 01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:46,559 Speaker 1: of port pointless spending will cause economically and otherwise. If 1987 01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:50,280 Speaker 1: something is admittedly irreversible, wouldn't it make it a heck 1988 01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:53,080 Speaker 1: of a lot more sense to maximize our efforts toward 1989 01:44:53,160 --> 01:44:55,760 Speaker 1: preparing for it. It almost makes one think that rather 1990 01:44:55,840 --> 01:44:58,840 Speaker 1: than a genuinely imminent crisis, what we're actually dealing with 1991 01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:01,000 Speaker 1: is an agenda to grad having hoard as much power 1992 01:45:01,040 --> 01:45:03,800 Speaker 1: as possible in an effort to have complete control of 1993 01:45:03,880 --> 01:45:07,400 Speaker 1: the unwashed masses. That's just crazy though, right, Shieldsayebuck and 1994 01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:11,160 Speaker 1: a producer Mark Producer, Mark says to you too, buddy, Larry, 1995 01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:14,280 Speaker 1: and yeah, the climate change stuff is nuts, and shouldn't 1996 01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:16,599 Speaker 1: we be just take a moment here. I think it's 1997 01:45:16,680 --> 01:45:19,439 Speaker 1: fair that we take a step back and say, Wow, 1998 01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:25,160 Speaker 1: maybe the scientific community, instead of allowing for the constant 1999 01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:28,519 Speaker 1: browbeating and lectures over climate change, which is not a threat, 2000 01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:31,760 Speaker 1: maybe they had more important things to focus on. Maybe 2001 01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:33,960 Speaker 1: there were other areas. Now I'm not saying more. You 2002 01:45:34,040 --> 01:45:35,600 Speaker 1: can do this to anybody wrote, Oh, how could you 2003 01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:37,479 Speaker 1: talk about that when people are starving in some far 2004 01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:40,760 Speaker 1: off country. No, no, no, I mean the scientific community. 2005 01:45:41,280 --> 01:45:44,800 Speaker 1: We always hear about scientists and climate change. Why have 2006 01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:47,479 Speaker 1: we not been hearing in recent years about pandemics and 2007 01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:51,519 Speaker 1: pandemic preparedness. That's the real question. That it is a 2008 01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:54,040 Speaker 1: real question, at least, Michael hey Buck. I grew up 2009 01:45:54,040 --> 01:45:56,280 Speaker 1: in a pretty tough neighborhood, so I know many two 2010 01:45:56,400 --> 01:45:58,360 Speaker 1: very tough individuals. They all have one thing in common. 2011 01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:00,559 Speaker 1: They don't know how they don't go around saying how 2012 01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:03,200 Speaker 1: tough they are constantly challenging people to fight's like Biden does. 2013 01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:06,120 Speaker 1: Joe reminds me of the guy that's always running his 2014 01:46:06,200 --> 01:46:07,960 Speaker 1: mouth but can't actually back it up. I know a 2015 01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:11,040 Speaker 1: few of those guys too. Shields. Ye, yeah, Michael, I 2016 01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:13,439 Speaker 1: hear you. You know, and Biden seems to have a 2017 01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:16,240 Speaker 1: chip on a shoulder about all this stuff. And then 2018 01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:19,000 Speaker 1: Andrew writes buck Eddie Murphy's greatest two movies have to 2019 01:46:19,080 --> 01:46:21,920 Speaker 1: be Coming to America and or Trading Places. Are you 2020 01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:25,599 Speaker 1: familiar with the tie between those movies? When Hakim meets 2021 01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:27,280 Speaker 1: the two homeless guys in the street, he gives them 2022 01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:29,800 Speaker 1: a bag in cash. Movies are so much better back 2023 01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:32,519 Speaker 1: then classics. Yes, I'm familiar with both those movies as 2024 01:46:32,560 --> 01:46:37,120 Speaker 1: well as the tie in. Everybody, please stay calm, stay safe, 2025 01:46:37,160 --> 01:46:40,519 Speaker 1: stay sound, hold your loved ones close, Listen to the 2026 01:46:40,560 --> 01:46:42,719 Speaker 1: authorities as much as you can about keeping yourself safe 2027 01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:44,960 Speaker 1: on this. When we'll get through, we will be together 2028 01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:47,080 Speaker 1: on this and we will keep our shields. Hie
