WEBVTT - We Are Now Seeing Wartime Trump 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:15.440 You are entering the freedom huge. The President has declared 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:18.440 a ban on travel between the US and Europe. Fears 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.840 about coronavirus are higher than they've ever been. We will 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:25.080 break down all of the latest for you on this issue. 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:27.080 Try to avoid as much of the politics as we 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.160 can and get into what really matters. Coming up. This 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:33.440 is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:39.479 is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.320 no mistake, America, you're a great American. Again the Buck 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:57.840 Sexton Show begins. We have the best economy, the most 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.520 advanced healthcare, and the most talent too, doctors, scientists and 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:06.959 researches anywhere in the world. We are all in this together. 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:13.240 We must put politics aside, stop the partisanship, and unified 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:17.600 together as one nation and one family. As history has 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.360 proven time and time again, Americans always rise to the 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:26.959 challenge and overcome adversity. Welcome to the Buck sex and Show, everybody. 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:31.360 It was a tough night last night for those of 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.800 us who were watching, and that was some some of 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.840 the presidents addressed to the nation last night from the 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.440 Oval Office. It was a bit of a wake up call, 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.520 I think for many of us Now, let me start 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.440 by saying that I have not changed my overall outlook 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.920 here in the following way. I think that panic is 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:57.600 not helpful. I think it's not warranted. And it is 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.120 my belief that as long as we do everything that 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.040 we can, and everyone does everything that they have been 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:08.280 told will mitigate this virus, we will come out of 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.200 this on the other side. Okay, I mean, we're definitely 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.799 going to make it through. It's just a question of 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.760 what damage will be done along the way. And we 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.320 are seeing for the first time in the Trump presidency 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:27.040 what I would call wartime Trump. This is a wartime issue. 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.720 This is something that affects the lives of millions. Well, 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.520 it affects all of our lives. So every single American 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.920 is in some way affected by this. We all have 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.760 loved ones who are in the higher risk categories. We 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:44.120 all know people who are older and immunosuppressed, and we 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.640 have to protect them. And there's a lot of government 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.760 policy that comes into play here. It is distressing to 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:55.880 see it. I'm going to try to avoid the petty partisanship. 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.360 There are political arguments that are happening right now that 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:02.560 we have to have because there are measures that are 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.080 being taken. There are policies that are being debated in 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.400 real time as I'm here speaking to you that will 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.520 affect how we deal with this and also will help 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.840 determine whether this is a crisis that we look back 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:20.280 on and say we did pretty well or we got 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.120 sucker punched. We weren't ready for it. We were not 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.520 in a position to handle this properly. If we were 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.560 talking in virus terms, you know, you all know the 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:35.080 Defcon system, right if we're speaking about this in terms 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.800 of a virus or a pandemic, and I'd say we're 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.880 at We're at Defcon three. We are at an elevated 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:48.080 state of readiness here. Decon three technically is the US 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.440 arm US Armed Forces were ready to deploy in six hours, 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:57.280 and it is an elevated state. We are an elevated 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:02.120 state right now. It's interesting that the biggest outbreak was 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.120 in China. We know that the biggest outbreak has been 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.640 in China, but the and of course, as those of 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.360 you that can see me on video now, every every 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.760 time any of us touch our faces, which is very 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.320 hard to avoid, you just think, oh gosh, what have 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.960 I done? The biggest outbreak was in China, but it's 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.880 Italy that I think has really rattled people. These stories 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:26.600 coming out of Italy are gut wrenching. You have triage 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:31.800 situations where this is now being reported on and lots 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:36.120 and lots of news outlets across the country, Tria situations 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.200 where they simply don't have the medical resources to handle 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.520 the influx because they got to hit by a whole 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.560 bunch of cases all at once. And now there are 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.160 stories if the military trying to airlift people from the 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.360 north of Italy and the other parts of the country. Look, 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:54.880 there's obvious reason for concern, but there is not reason 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.200 for panic, and those are different things. We have to 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.400 keep this going. You. Last night, I I'll tell you 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.479 that as I was listening to the President's speech even 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.479 I had a moment and I fired off a tweet. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.440 I was like, oh my god, this is a pandemic 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.360 prey for us, and then I deleted it right away 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.200 because I thought, what a come on, shields High. It's 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.240 got to mean something. Now is when it really tests us. 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.080 Right now we see who we are as a country 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:26.120 and what kind of emotional and mental mental fortitude we 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:33.080 have as individuals. When called together in collective action, wars, pandemics. 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.000 There are only a few things that really bring us 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.560 all into the same boat, and there's no way around it. 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.800 And we are in the midst of a pandemic right now. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.120 And if the situation in Italy where there are also 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.039 stories about people who are at who are not in 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.520 the high risk population in terms of their age or 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:56.360 being immunosuppressed or having a comorbidity, if that hasn't been 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.880 a concerning enough for people, and that should be very 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.360 concerning because you have stories at least anecdotal at this point, 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.200 but people who were in their forties and fifties who 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:10.920 are on in the ICU. Has that been verified? How many? 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.159 I don't know, But this is now circulating and there's 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.599 also a lot of a lot of hysteria and there's 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.000 a lot of fake news circulating around about this. People 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:24.719 also turning on each other. And this was I think 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:30.359 my initial frustration or my greatest frustration he case, you know, 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.400 I was faced with the liberal mentality on this a 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:34.960 few weeks ago when I went out and I traveled 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.200 on an airplane, was right when people were really starting 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.240 to get worried about coronavirus, and it was clear that 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.600 there were including Bill that the liberals around me, and 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.520 it was everyone on that stage except for me was 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:51.200 an avowed leftist liberal that their primary concern was to 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.800 bash not just Trump, but also really to mock and 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.360 ridicule anybody who is holding out faith and hope that 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.400 the administration is doing everything they can not because I 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.159 think they're so great or so perfect, and I could 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.760 pick apart this administration's personnel, and I will pick apart 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:10.200 the CDC later on this show. I used to work 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.600 for the CIA, which if you're talking about a government 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.120 organization that has its pick in terms of hiring and 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.440 what feels like almost unlimited funding for the mission a 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:25.520 lot of the time, and there was mediocrity, ineptitude, waste, abuse, 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.840 and stupidity all over the place. Does anybody really think 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:33.960 the CDC is like a bunch of super anti virus ninjas. Well, 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.120 we already have some information that's come out that, yeah, 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.240 they're helpful, they do some good stuff. I'm not saying 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.200 that we don't think. You know, I'm glad we have 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.320 a CDC, but it's a reminder that if we're really 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.520 gonna beat this thing, it's gonna take a lot more 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:50.080 than no matter what kind of government agency action could 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.360 have been mounted to help us in this process. But 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.520 it was troubling to see. And I'm gonna try and 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.160 I'm not gonna be perfect, and I'm gonna say that 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.240 right right up front. I'm gonna try to avoidoid taking 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.200 taking jabs at the other side, even though they're they're 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:09.040 on offense here. The anti Trump movement in this country, 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.560 the never Trumpers, the Democrats, the left, the socialist the 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.840 all the loons, you know, the people that are have 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.440 been out marching in the streets for years. They can't 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:23.160 help it. They're in a frenzy of barely subdued delight 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.800 that they think this is going to finish off the 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.920 Trump presidency and deliver it to the Democrats. It's appalling, 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.920 it's disgusting. It's not surprising though, But I want to 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.719 push back on their lives without trying to own them, 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.360 as the kids say, you know, without trying to take 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.719 any any cheap shots anything, petty. I'm not going to 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.600 be perfect in this because I'm only human too. And 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.280 you know, I still remember my message if you ever 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:52.040 saw it on the show on Bill Maher's show, was 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.040 we all want them. You know, we all want the 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.000 presidence to succeed here. We want no debts. This is 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.199 about more than politics. And I came off and I 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.559 was getting liberals writing me, I hope you get coronavirus 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.440 and die. That's that's where that's where the left wing 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.400 mentality has been on this all along, never mind at 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:15.559 this moment where we're particularly particularly anxious about this, understandably so. 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.240 So I'm going to try to make a promise you 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.640 because we're going to be in this now for the 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.880 next at least thirty probably more like sixty days, where 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.320 this will be the dominant theme, the single news story 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:31.760 that overshadows or does anyone even really you know, remember 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.800 that we've we're in the midst of a presidential campaign 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.480 right now, mist of a presidential election. Anybody even really 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.520 thinking about that. And I'm not saying they should be 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.319 focused on that. We got more We do have more 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:46.240 important things right now. So while I'll talk about the 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.000 politics as it affects policy, and I will have to 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.119 push back on some of the lies in the unfairness, 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.160 I will aspire on this show. You know, I always 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.520 aspired it to be. I do have to sometimes call 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.680 people out and say that people are being dumb when 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.920 they're being dumb. I mean, I there are limits this right, 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.160 but as a guiding principle, I will aspire to be 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.960 not just fair minded about this, but also keep our 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:12.840 disc when we're look I'm not also just gonna talk 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.480 about coronavirus all day. I can't can't do that. That's 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.880 not worth your time. Every day we come on here 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.240 when this continues, when we're facing this pandemic, we'll do 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.240 some updates, what matters, what's going on, where are we 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:24.920 And then we're all going to talk about other things, 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:27.400 and you know, Prouser Mark and I might even have 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:29.480 a little gallows humor in here sometimes. I mean, you know, 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.840 we're gonna have to do that, because if you're gonna 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.480 spend your time with me, it's not just going to 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.880 be the blaring headlines that you're seeing all of the 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.840 news ment to panic people, drive up ratings, keep everybody 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.120 off balance and worried. That's not what we do here. 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.000 It's never what we've done. So I'm really trying to 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:52.400 recalibrate a little bit back to the core mission of 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.320 making sure that I give you all the information I 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.440 can on this that this is a place where I'll 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.440 give you analysis. I mean, obviously, you go to any 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.600 website and they've got they've got the number of confirmed cases, 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.880 and I'll inform you about that, But also where are 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.960 we really here? And this is where it also matters 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:09.880 that you know, we all feel like a community. So 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.880 I'll really appreciate all of your I know that there 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.760 are I mean I can think off the top of 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:19.080 my head of a handful of world class infectious disease 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:24.120 specialists or immunologists or microbiologists who I know listen to 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.400 this show. So those of you who have thoughts, who 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.240 want to share your perspective, please do right in because 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.559 we're we are hunkering down here. I mean, this is 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.079 going to be battening down the hatches for a while. 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:40.320 Producer Mark and I have been talking about how we're 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:41.719 going to find a way to keep this show on 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:43.960 the air no matter what, because they're still talk I mean, 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.360 we're here in New York City, which has this big 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.600 cluster of cases out in New Rochelle. But I mean 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:51.959 I'm on the I was. I just got off the 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.400 subway before I came on the show, and yeah, there 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.400 are less people, but there are still people. Because life 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.040 has to go on. We got to still keep doing 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.200 what we do. And look, if I could stay home, 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.400 if there were possibilities here that would allow us to 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.720 continue doing everything we do without anybody being around anybody, 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.480 I'd probably do that for the next thirty days. But 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:14.040 that's not how it is right now. But if something changes, 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.600 will find a way to make sure that our show 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.320 goes on the air each night as it has been. 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.040 We're making contingency plans for that, because I'm gonna tell 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.800 you this right now. I mean, I'm being completely serious. 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.599 If I end up having to quarantine just because of 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:32.960 an exposure, God forbid even actually contracting this thing, as 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.800 long as my lungs have air on them, I'm doing 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:36.320 this show. I mean, as long as I have the 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.520 physical capacity to do it, I will continue to do 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:42.560 the show. So that's where we are on that. Also, 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.040 last night, there wasn't just the President's speech. There was 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:48.680 a bit of a double whammy effect. It felt like 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:55.000 piling on. You had the news break that the NBA 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:59.880 has canceled its entire season. It is very very likely, 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.640 as I go to air that the NHL season will 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:07.440 also be canceled, and you had Tom Hanks and his 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:12.640 wife Rita Wilson I believe, both in Australia and confirmed 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:18.160 to be with to have coronavirus. So you've one of 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:25.840 the you know, arguably the most famous and celebrated American actor, 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.560 not just of his generation, but some would say in 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.360 the world. I mean, he's certainly in the top ten, 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.680 you know, would be Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, you know, 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.880 maybe yeah, some people put Harrison Ford whatever. That doesn't matter. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.599 The point is guy super famous and that brings it 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.440 home for people. That makes it seem more real. I 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.640 think to a lot of folks, this uh, this recognition 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.440 all of a sudden, that anybody can get this. It 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.320 does not matter. You know, this is a human disease. 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:56.920 It does not matter you know how rich, how you know, underprivileged, 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:00.120 you know what country you're from, with nationality. We have 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.080 to do everything we can to use the knowledge that 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.480 we have to try and defeat this thing. But the 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.760 NBA season is canceled. Tom Hanks has this Saint Patrick's 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:09.600 Day Parade in New York, Saint Patrick's Day Parade in 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.840 Boston south by Southwest, that awesome has already canceled. Coachella 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.120 out in California has been canceled. Major sporting events NC 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.160 double A tournament's going to be played without fans in 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:19.560 the stance I mean, just go down. I mean we're 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.640 we are in we are in lockdown. That's where we are. 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.480 Let's just be honest about where we are with each other. Right, 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:29.040 this is the situation, and you want to minimize contact 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.600 with other individuals. You want to minimize certainly travel, all 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:34.960 the things that you're hearing from from the CDC, because 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.480 it's all about playing the odds and playing the numbers, 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.240 righting them, doing the most you can, not just to 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.720 elevate your own odds. Remember, there's this is where we 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.760 do have an interdependency here. We all we all need 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.000 to make sure that we take care of ourselves because 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.760 in taking care of ourselves, we are better capable to 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:57.400 take care of others and also we are less likely 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:02.400 to unknowingly expose there's to possible infection. So this does 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.200 start with the self. Each and every one of us 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.760 has some degree of responsibility. Another point that I think 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.560 we all need to remember. The number of cases you 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.760 see right now is a fraction of the people that 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.800 are walking around in this country today who have coronavirus. 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.840 No one knows what that fraction is. But you will 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.560 not find you will not find a single health expert 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.680 who thinks that we know about every case or even 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.360 close to every case. And if you look at a 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.640 heat map, which is a map that shows density. Right, 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.280 so if you look at at a heat map of 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.320 the corona cases across the country. I was pouring over 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:41.040 one this morning. It's all over the place. You're reading 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.240 about it a lot in Washington and in New York, 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.240 but this is all over the country. And this is 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:52.280 something that we will need to confront as Americans right 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.640 now if we want to avoid the situation that's playing 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.640 out right now in Italy. There is reason, there are 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:02.240 reasons for optimism. Optimism not that this is gonna good. 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:03.800 It's not gonna go away. It's not a hoax. By 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:05.640 the way, Trump never said it was a hoax, and 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.440 this falls in the category I've got to push back 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.120 on the crazy a little bit. Never said it was 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:13.520 a hoax. They've been working on this and the testing problems. 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:17.600 We keep hearing about rs CDC problem, the CDC in 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:21.680 the manufacturing process, whatever that means messed up the initial 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.280 testing kits. South Korea has gotten a pretty good hold 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:30.120 on this virus. China has brought the curve down, doesn't 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:33.560 mean it's totally gone. Has brought the curve down. This 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.320 also means that this virus will probably be something that 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.280 we have to deal with for the foreseeable until a 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:44.040 cure or a vaccine comes up, and that could be 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:47.040 a lot longer than people think. Yeah, I said this 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:48.520 to you, and I wasn't trying to be glib, but 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.920 how's how's that common cold vaccine coming home? Now? The 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.640 cold is hundreds of different viruses and that's part of 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.240 why it's very hard to get a vaccine for it. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.960 But this could be more complicated than we think it is. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:01.840 It's just because it's going into human trials early look 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.680 as a positive sign. I'm not trying to ignore that. 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:06.760 But you know, we need to stay we need to 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:08.960 stay absolutely focused here on what we know, and we 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:13.040 need to take care of each other. You're in the 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:20.720 Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Literally 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.760 just got an update. Literally just got an update from 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.120 producer Mark right after I say yeah, the NHL has 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.399 canceled their season, so and other sports conferences right, who 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.359 else is suspended? The NHL are both things suspended? Okay, 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:35.160 so it could come back theoretically. And we've got conference 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:40.040 conferences like the Big Ten, Big twelve canceling their conference tournaments. 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.880 NC Double A still is onto play without fans, but 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:47.280 that might be in question now. So it looks like 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:49.840 you're gonna have a big everybody. Just get ready for 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:54.639 waves and waves of cancelations. You know, stay home, Netflix 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.000 video games, that's what that's what we want to be 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:01.240 doing here. Read, stay away from people, social distancing. These 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:05.600 are all good practices. They're not perfect, and they're not absolutes. 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:06.800 If you gotta go out, you gotta go out, you 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:08.320 gotta get food, you gotta do what you gotta do. 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.720 But these are all good practices to have.

So sports are 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:47.600 in rough shape right now. We got cancelations. We just 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:52.120 talked about the NHL post suspending as producer Marcus point 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.360 of suspending the season. Other leagues are suspending. I mean, 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:59.360 if they suspend long enough, it's going to be basically canceled. 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.320 I wanted to bring in Clay Travis to talk to 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:04.680 that issue, but also his thoughts on just everything we're 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.560 facing around now. Clay is the host of OutKick the Coverage, 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.359 very popular podcast and also the author of the book 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.399 Republicans by Sneakers Too. Clay, thanks for joining us. Are 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:17.800 you in Nashville right now? I am in Nashville, particulamy Man. Yeah, 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.440 So tell me what's going on here. First off, with 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.879 this NBA player who tested positive, I saw something that 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.480 he also had made a joke earlier about having coronavirus. 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:29.840 Then turn out he did. Well, what can you tell 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.960 us about what's going on with the NBA and coronavirus. Yeah, 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.919 Rudy Gobert is a player for the Zuka Jazz and 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.560 he had made a joke a couple of days ago 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:42.080 at a press conference about the coronavirus by like rubbing 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.200 his hand all over the microphones that he was being 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:48.360 interviewed on as he walked out, and obviously, ever wine 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:50.920 Hart is, he was not taking it seriously. He got 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:53.640 the coronavirus. He also has given it to at least 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:59.440 one of his teammates. And obviously this has since spiraled 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:01.719 into a mate your issue in the world of sports 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.680 and beyond, because it's the quarantine situation that everybody has. 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:09.040 Once one player on one team gets it, that entire 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.520 team is required to quarantine, and so are to a 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:18.119 certain extent, all of the players who played against that player. 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:23.399 So it is spiraled into a ongoing I think it's 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:25.960 fair to say crisis for the world of sports, which 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.440 is unlike anything I've ever seen before, where one by one, 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:32.800 different leagues and different tournaments are making the decision basically 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.560 to call off their games. What does this mean, you think, 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.080 just I mean, look, there's so many angles on this one, 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:41.240 but let's start with just the health of the of 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.879 the league's pardon the expression, but you know the financial 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:46.800 impact this is going to have an Arenas I saw 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:50.720 something that Mark Cuban is making an effort. He says, 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.080 for at least for the for the mavericks to take 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:55.560 care of hourly employees who are obviously going to be 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.840 in really rough shape with the season of the season 0:20:57.920 --> 0:20:59.800 being shut down. What can you tell us about how 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:03.439 they're trying to mitigate the impact economically, Well, I mean, 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.480 I think that's a big challenge, right And honestly, this 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.639 is me putting my lawyer had on. I'm already kind of, 0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:14.560 you know, purely from a legal perspective, utterly fascinated to 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:18.320 see what all these lawsuits and insurance contracts are going 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:21.000 to look like. Because you can probably imagine this. For 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:24.120 years and years, pro sports leagues have been taking out 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:28.720 insurance in the event that something wild happens which necessitates 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:33.200 games not taking place, maybe the cancelation of seasons, and 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.320 trying to figure out what the economic value of that 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.000 would be. You know, you probably pay what do you think, 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:40.639 I mean, I don't even know. I'd love to get 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:44.359 an insurance expert on, but several million dollars to ensure 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:46.800 that your season is going to continue to take place, 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:48.879 but your payoff is going to be massive in the 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:51.399 event that it happens. And it kind of reminds me 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:57.040 of in terms of in terms of the unlikelihood of 0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.760 it of what happened after nine to eleven when for 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:01.680 for warriors out there, they will remember there was a 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:05.720 big lawsuit over whether the two planes that hit the 0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:09.480 twin towers were one event or two events, because it 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:12.639 impacted in a big way what sort of recovery there 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:14.520 was going to be under the insurance contract. And I 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:17.240 don't even remember what the resolution of that case was. 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:21.600 For you think about the thirty different places out there, right, 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:25.520 the thirty different uh you know, NBA arenas, and the 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:28.240 thirty different teams and all of the different aspects of 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:31.359 that that they will have set up, and all the 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:33.639 lawsuits that willon school. It's just kind of massive to 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:37.159 think about. Now, are there any leagues that are are 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:39.359 you that are right now planning to sort of just 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:42.800 continue with contingency operations with no fans in the stands 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:45.600 going forward? I mean, who, who? How? How are adaptations 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:48.080 working here for other for any other sports leagues or 0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:53.119 any other events happening so quickly honestly that I like, 0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:55.920 if I haven't checked my phone, I almost hesitate to say, 0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:58.680 because something might have happened in the last five minutes. Yeah, 0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:00.440 And that actually just happened to me. I said, the 0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:02.280 NHL is thinking about canceling, and then it came back 0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:05.400 from a break and then turns out there canceling. Yeah right, 0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:07.600 So so I mean, I think that's the challenge you 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:10.560 buck right now, is that literally it's almost impossible to 0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:13.440 keep up with how quickly this story is moving now. 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.680 I've also seen you know, you're somebody who has been 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:20.399 pretty vocal on social media, and I'll just say, you 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:22.680 and I haven't talked about this yet. I've been taking 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:26.120 the position that you know, this is a be vigilant, 0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:29.600 take clip acautions, but they're really People say there's no 0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:32.080 need to panic, and that almost then incites panic. You know. 0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:34.280 It's it's like Will Ferrell and old School when he 0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:36.320 says keep your composure and he's like flinging the chair 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:38.760 around the locker room and freaking out. I think that 0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:41.400 there's a psychological effect that it has. Some people say don't, 0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:43.639 but I really don't. You know, I think sometimes there 0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:45.119 can be a need for panic, you know, there can 0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:47.080 be a need for everybody hit the exits, and we're 0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:48.880 not there. I don't think we're anywhere close to there. 0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:52.200 Walk me through where you know your evolution and thinking 0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:54.840 about the risks here as somebody who pays very close 0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:57.560 attention to the news has been vocal about this. You know, 0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:00.440 where where'd you start? And after what we saw last 0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:02.879 life from President Trump? And how worried are you? Man? 0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:07.000 I mean, that's really the question. I am not incredibly worried, 0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:10.080 all right. I think it's an interesting question. And let 0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:11.600 me just take a step back. I tend to be 0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:14.040 a guy like and you probably as well, because you're 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:15.600 a smart guy. When I was a kid, I was 0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:18.280 scared of everything, right, like a young kid, because you're 0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:20.720 aware that there is danger in the world, but you'll 0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:24.720 lack the ability to unpack probabilities and statistics of what 0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:27.600 that danger represents. So like you're willing to go into 0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:29.560 the ocean a little bit. You know there's sharks out there, 0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:32.600 but you're not smart enough to understand what the chances 0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:35.520 are of a shark actually biting you, right, And so 0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:38.400 I was terrified of things like that as a kid, 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:41.920 and as I got older, I used sort of my 0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:45.040 fear as a The way that I would weaponize against 0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:48.440 it is by diving into facts and data in order 0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:51.080 to try to uncover the answer there, right, and so 0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:54.600 I believe that most of us are very safe right 0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:57.400 from this pandemic. Right now, according to the most recent 0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:00.159 data I've seen, there are ten people in serious or 0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:04.320 critical condition in the entirety of the country, and they're 0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:08.280 thirty eight deaths. I believe what scary is if we 0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:11.359 went in the direction of Italy, which is about seventy 0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:14.359 five times as bad when you adjust prefer capita as 0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:16.760 what we have in the country right now, that would change. 0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:18.959 My hope is that we're going to move more parts 0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:22.720 what South Korea and China how we're able to do 0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:26.280 in terms of virtually eradicating the outbreak in their country, 0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:28.920 as opposed to towards Italy and Europe. And I think 0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:32.000 what Trump has done is basically say, hey, Europe is 0:25:32.040 --> 0:25:35.120 a powder keg right now. It's in danger of becoming 0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:38.480 China like, and so we need to keep people from 0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:42.440 coming from Europe to our country and reigniting more cases 0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:46.879 going forward. And in terms of the statistics on mortality 0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:50.040 rate and all the numbers that you're seeing, there's this 0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.840 big debate over is it worse than the flu? Is 0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:55.239 it similar to flu? Do you have? I mean, look, 0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:57.120 I know you're not an epidemiologist or a doctrine either, 0:25:57.160 --> 0:25:59.720 am I. But from the latest data that you've seen 0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:02.560 that you been diving into, what's your take on the 0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:06.639 both the ability of this thing to spread comparatively to 0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:09.040 other diseases that we see that are like it and 0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:13.080 the mortality rates. I mean, you mentioned Italy versus versus 0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:16.119 South Korea. How bad is it in South Korea? Okay? 0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:19.040 So South Korea is the best case scenario. And the 0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:22.080 data that we have seen from South Korea reflects that 0:26:22.920 --> 0:26:28.320 if you get the coronavirus in South Korea, it doesn't 0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:30.680 matter how old you are. But obviously this impacts people 0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:34.399 a lot older. But ninety nine point three or ninety 0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:38.359 nine point four percent of all patients are recovering, that is, 0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:40.879 they are not dying, which mean that point six or 0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:45.320 point seven percent of people are dying from this. So 0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:48.080 that's the best case scenario, is what's going on in 0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:51.000 South Korea. And I tend to think that our medical 0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:54.120 system would be more similar to South Korea's than it would, 0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:58.800 say to Italy's or certainly other countries. That the fear 0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:03.760 that I think is out there is that the coronavirus. 0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:07.480 We're still learning the transmission rates. The World Health Organization 0:27:07.560 --> 0:27:11.359 has said that it is less contagious the coronavirus is 0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:15.240 than the flu. Okay, others have disagreed. I think this 0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:18.040 just a reflects the fact that we're in a very 0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:22.639 early stage of understanding this disease. And so the question 0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:24.200 what you're going to be asked, and I think will 0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:27.199 be utterly fascinating as we move forward, is why did 0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:30.120 Italy have the problems that they had? Now? Maybe it's 0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:33.240 the fact that the country is older, right, Italy is 0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:36.840 one of the oldest countries in the world. They are 0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:39.280 very social in the way that they kiss right like, 0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:42.960 they are very close in terms of personal contact contact. 0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:46.280 They have a massive purist crowd that was coming over 0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:49.960 from Asia. They may have had outbreaks that similarly broke 0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:53.680 out all at the same time. There their overall infrastructure 0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:57.320 at hospitals, maybe a severe leak decrepit compared to other countries. 0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:01.560 I think this will be for epidemiologists an incredibly interesting 0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:04.200 study when all of this has passed, to try to 0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:07.120 figure out and learn for the future, what did South 0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:13.040 Korea do so well, did Italy do so poorly? And 0:28:13.480 --> 0:28:16.280 which direction its United States going to go? In terms 0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:19.680 of being South Korea, like where we basically end this 0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:24.720 outbreak before it has a systemic overlapping, you know, delitarious 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:27.600 effect for the country, or are we going to spiral 0:28:27.840 --> 0:28:32.520 into a tail spin of aneptitude much like has happened 0:28:32.560 --> 0:28:35.119 in Italy. Now, do you think that it was the 0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:37.320 right move to cancel all these sporting events and arenas 0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:39.040 and stuff. Women, If if you were if you were 0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:42.720 the professional sport czar for America, would you say, yeah, guys, 0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:45.280 we need to do this. Well, I think Rudy Gobert 0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:47.840 put it all on steroids because once you get a 0:28:48.000 --> 0:28:51.040 player who test positive, then that team's going to have 0:28:51.120 --> 0:28:53.400 to be pulled out of competition. So I don't know 0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:57.360 that the NBA has any other options once were Gobert 0:28:57.480 --> 0:29:00.280 test positive. And I think that is why all these 0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:02.600 other leagues are acting the way they are, because they're saying, oh, 0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:04.400 we're going to have a player in the same situation 0:29:04.480 --> 0:29:06.760 and Rudy go there, Let's go ahead and keep this 0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:09.960 from happening. And I believe that is the biggest challenge 0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:13.160 that is out there. Is basically skipped a step, because 0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:15.800 I think the step was going to go from no crowds, 0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:19.600 right from crowds to no crowds, playing in front of 0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:21.440 no crowds, and I think that might have held for 0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:23.680 a month, or might have even been able to last 0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:26.400 for a long time, but for the fact that Rudy 0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:29.840 Gobert got the flu, which jumps you right from well, 0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:32.480 playing in front of no crowds is not an option anymore. 0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:35.800 Let's wipe out the whole season for suspension right now. 0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:39.480 I remember, it's not canceled, it's suspended. And so we'll 0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:42.640 see the whether that suspension is lifted and we returned 0:29:42.680 --> 0:29:44.680 to the rest of the season depends on how things 0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:48.040 go in the weeks and months ahead. All right, everybody, 0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:50.520 you heard it from that himself, Clay Travis. Check out 0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:53.440 his podcast I'll kick the coverage. Check out his book 0:29:53.440 --> 0:29:55.480 Republicans by Sneers too. Clay, thanks for making the time. 0:29:55.560 --> 0:29:58.760 Stay safe, Heydre wash your hands the same for you, 0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:02.920 my man. I appreciate you have me on You're in 0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:06.560 the Freedom, hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:13.040 You said some breaking news. We're gonna have breaking news 0:30:13.120 --> 0:30:15.480 throughout the show. I think on this the Prime Minister 0:30:15.600 --> 0:30:23.280 of Canada, Justin Trudeau, is now self isolating over coronavirus fierce. 0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:25.160 You know, he's not been confirmed to have it, but 0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:27.760 he's self isolating because of concern that he may be 0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:30.239 and he may have been in contact. His wife has 0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:33.160 flu like symptoms, so they're testing her. That's why. Yeah, 0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:37.280 and the I mean, I'm not trying to be even 0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:39.120 clip or funny about this at all. Literally, I just 0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:41.600 now you recognize more than ever how much you touch 0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:43.920 your face. And I'm sitting here and I'm doing a 0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:48.280 radio show and we also broadcasted on Pluto TV, and man, 0:30:48.360 --> 0:30:51.640 it's really hard to not touch your face. Trudeau is 0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:55.760 the first head of state that I know of who 0:30:55.840 --> 0:30:58.520 has been looking. We don't have his wife has coronavirus. 0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:00.920 They're still flu out there, so there are people that 0:31:01.040 --> 0:31:05.760 have very similar symptom profiles to those with coronavirus who 0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:08.640 actually have standard influenza, which I would note is also 0:31:08.880 --> 0:31:13.080 not anything to be taken lightly. But we're just not 0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:15.360 we know more about it, you know, we know that 0:31:15.440 --> 0:31:20.360 it's um considered less a less serious disease than coronavirus 0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:22.800 at this point, so it's possible that his wife has 0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:25.120 just the flu. But obviously everyone right now is very 0:31:25.280 --> 0:31:28.440 concerned that anything that seems like it's flu is going 0:31:28.480 --> 0:31:30.680 to be is going to be. And also, I look, 0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:32.760 I'm not trying to make some big political statement. It's 0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:36.080 coronavirus is a family of viruses that's not really it 0:31:36.120 --> 0:31:38.000 should be called wuhan virus, so we know what we're 0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:43.880 talking about. Uhan virus is what causes COVID nineteen, and 0:31:44.000 --> 0:31:45.840 no one really is going to call it COVID nineteen. 0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:48.240 So I'm not trying to make some big political statement. 0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:52.040 I just think that we call all all these other diseases. 0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:53.560 I don't know why all of a sudden we're supposed 0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:55.320 to change. I mean, it should be called the Wuhan virus, 0:31:56.320 --> 0:31:59.840 but I'm one. This is just you got ahead of 0:31:59.880 --> 0:32:02.479 state of a country. Right next door are close our 0:32:02.560 --> 0:32:05.800 close friends, our brothers and sisters in Canada, and this 0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:08.680 is clearly going to get a lot of attention because 0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:12.520 if the wife has COVID, so I just did it. 0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:14.360 If the wife has I guess we're gonna keep calling 0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:16.880 coronavirus till we all agree we can call something else. 0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:20.160 But if the wife has the virus, then there's a 0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:22.800 very good possibility that the Prime Minister of Canada. Now, 0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:26.520 as we all know, he is young and healthy, so 0:32:27.320 --> 0:32:31.440 chances are he would have statistically speaking, he would have 0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:34.880 a something like a cold. You know, it wouldn't be 0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:37.080 that's what eighty percent of people have. You know, they 0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:38.840 have some shortness of breath, they have a cold that 0:32:38.960 --> 0:32:42.240 you know, it attacks their system, but they're okay. But 0:32:42.360 --> 0:32:45.640 there are other heads of state, including in this one, 0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:50.040 who are at an elevated risk profile because of their age. 0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:52.720 They've I didn't even mention this at the start of 0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:55.240 the show. There's so many things. They've shut Capitol Hill 0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:59.720 and the Pentagon from visitors, so they're still conducting business. 0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:03.880 But there have been some staffers on Capitol Hill who 0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:06.479 have come down, some Senate staffers, I believe, and there 0:33:06.480 --> 0:33:08.040 will be more. I mean, if there's a couple of 0:33:08.040 --> 0:33:10.400 Senate staffers, there's gonna be more Senate staffers. They're all 0:33:10.520 --> 0:33:14.120 moving around the same hallways, breathing the same air, interacting 0:33:14.160 --> 0:33:18.440 in these places. So it's it's very likely that you're 0:33:18.480 --> 0:33:21.080 going to see a number spike on Capitol Hill of 0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:25.680 confirmed cases, and we're Tom Hanks has it, We're going 0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:28.479 to see more people who you would think, oh, they 0:33:28.520 --> 0:33:30.160 don't have to worry. And I know that no one 0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:32.840 consciously thinks about this, but you know, you think about 0:33:33.520 --> 0:33:38.040 very influential, powerful celebrities, and you know politicians, it's easy 0:33:38.080 --> 0:33:39.800 to get in your head. Ah well, they're they're not. 0:33:40.560 --> 0:33:42.240 They're not somebody that has to really worry about this. 0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:45.080 I mean, I'm pretty sure the flu actually killed a 0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:48.000 Czar of Russia in the nineteenth century. And that's just 0:33:48.080 --> 0:33:49.320 off the top of my head. I mean, you know, 0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:55.520 this stuff happens. Very famous, very powerful, very influential people 0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:58.520 can succumb to this. I mean, this is this is 0:33:58.760 --> 0:34:01.120 a human condition that we are also concerned about. This 0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:05.640 is any human being is susceptible to this. And unless 0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:09.280 you are in a hermetically sealed box and having somebody 0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:11.640 bring you food that has been sterilized all the time, 0:34:11.719 --> 0:34:14.400 I mean, no one is perfectly safe from this. And 0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:16.360 I and I worried at the kind. You know that 0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:19.320 there are some some panic points that I think are coming. 0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:24.600 The panic points are going to revolve around if look, 0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:27.680 let's just say it, if if Trump or Biden or 0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:32.440 Bernie or Schumer or Pelosi or McConnell or any of 0:34:32.680 --> 0:34:36.239 the eld notice I'm picking those names. Those are all 0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:40.439 not just powerful politicians country. They're all older. They're all 0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:43.680 pretty much, you know, in their late sixties, into the 0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:45.880 into the seventies, all the way up to Sanders is 0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:49.239 almost eighty. And they're still shaking hands. Although I think 0:34:49.239 --> 0:34:50.799 they're gonna stop that. They're gonna have to cancel all 0:34:50.840 --> 0:34:55.560 political rallies. They're effectively gonna have to suspend, not cancel, 0:34:55.600 --> 0:34:58.480 because we understand the importance for political I mean for 0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:01.080 a professional sports right now, the difference they're going to 0:35:01.160 --> 0:35:06.440 have to suspend the presidential election. In a sense, not 0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:09.440 all of it. People can still you know, write stories 0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:11.560 and put out their stuff online. And aren't we all, 0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:15.160 in a sense very lucky to have the Internet enabled 0:35:15.200 --> 0:35:16.680 world that we live in where we still have all 0:35:16.719 --> 0:35:20.200 this communication and instant information. And now I know there's 0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:21.520 a bad side of it, because there's a lot of 0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:24.520 hysteria and panic that this is coming from, but I 0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:27.560 want to dig into what I think is well, let's 0:35:27.600 --> 0:35:29.440 talk about some more of what Trump said last night, 0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:31.799 and then also look at what's comings that we're all 0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:35.000 prepared for it.

Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, 0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:44.520 or wherever you get your podcasts. After consulting with our 0:35:44.600 --> 0:35:48.320 top government health professionals, I have decided to take several 0:35:48.400 --> 0:35:52.399 strong but necessary actions to protect the health and well 0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:55.959 being of all Americans. To keep new cases from entering 0:35:56.040 --> 0:36:00.360 our shores, we will be suspending all travel from Europe 0:36:00.520 --> 0:36:03.880 to the United States for the next thirty days. The 0:36:04.040 --> 0:36:07.960 new rules will go into effect Friday at midnight. These 0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:11.680 restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground. 0:36:12.360 --> 0:36:16.719 There will be exemptions for Americans who have undergone appropriate screenings. 0:36:17.239 --> 0:36:21.040 And these prohibitions will not only apply to the commendous 0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:25.120 amount of trade in cargo, but various other things. As 0:36:25.200 --> 0:36:28.800 we get approval. Anything coming from Europe to the United 0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:32.880 States is what we are discussing. These restrictions will also 0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:37.040 not apply to the United Kingdom. So that was the 0:36:37.080 --> 0:36:42.000 biggest policy moment last night during their President's address, and that, 0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:44.600 I'll be honest that for me, that was kind of 0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:47.920 the old crap moment, because this is that's a real escalation, 0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:52.360 stopping flights from China. You could say, well, why is 0:36:52.400 --> 0:36:55.880 that so different. Well, one as much as China's a 0:36:55.920 --> 0:36:57.960 billion people. We tend to think of China's one country 0:36:58.520 --> 0:37:00.680 stopping flights from all of Europe, and I believe we 0:37:00.800 --> 0:37:03.960 have significantly more air travel from Europe the US than 0:37:04.000 --> 0:37:06.920 we do from China. Just felt like it got a 0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:09.520 whole lot closer to us. Maybe that's just a perception thing, 0:37:09.640 --> 0:37:13.400 but that was a moment where it's clear the administration 0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:15.600 is now. As I said at the top, I mean 0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:18.200 Trump is this is wartime Trump. You are seeing wartime 0:37:18.280 --> 0:37:21.960 Trump right now. Decisions that are being made will affect lives. 0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:24.840 The federal government has a role to play here the 0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:26.920 same way that federal government usually we talk about just 0:37:27.080 --> 0:37:29.520 letting letting the market do its thing, and no, we 0:37:29.760 --> 0:37:31.480 can't just let the market do its thing on this. 0:37:32.440 --> 0:37:34.279 There is a government in response the same way that 0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:36.720 it wouldn't be left to, you know, the free market. 0:37:36.800 --> 0:37:40.840 If North Korea invaded California tomorrow. This is where the 0:37:40.920 --> 0:37:43.839 government has a role as well as a massive role 0:37:43.880 --> 0:37:45.880 for the private sector. You know, I mean tell you this, 0:37:46.160 --> 0:37:49.520 if we see a cure or more likely and I 0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:52.560 think in a sense even more a cure is going 0:37:52.600 --> 0:37:54.799 to be a vaccine, and who knows when that will 0:37:54.840 --> 0:37:58.200 actually be On the market, although I do believe they have. 0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:01.800 I believe they have vaccine now for a bola for example, 0:38:01.880 --> 0:38:05.000 which years ago people thought maybe that was a challenge 0:38:05.040 --> 0:38:09.560 you would not be able to meet so quickly. It's 0:38:09.560 --> 0:38:11.279 going to take a while a treatment though. For this. 0:38:11.920 --> 0:38:15.800 What has to happen is have something that helps people 0:38:15.920 --> 0:38:19.399 that even just suppresses the attack on lungs. That's really 0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:24.120 where this goes. It attacks, it causes interstitial pneumonia in 0:38:24.360 --> 0:38:26.759 both lungs, is there really and once it gets in 0:38:26.800 --> 0:38:31.480 the lungs and both lungs and the inflammation and the 0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:34.360 difficulty breathing and the strain that that puts on the 0:38:34.440 --> 0:38:37.640 rest of the organs, and it's very that's where in 0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:41.560 the particularly at risk populations you have the fatalities coming. 0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:43.920 And also where you have people who are in an 0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:49.399 ICU for two three weeks, perhaps even more under very 0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:54.360 precarious and uncomfortable and difficult circumstances. Right, I mean, the 0:38:54.480 --> 0:38:57.600 mortality rate unfortunately does not it is not the only 0:38:57.800 --> 0:38:59.680 thing to really be concerned about here. We're also going 0:38:59.719 --> 0:39:03.520 to be that are in the ICU for a month, 0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:07.319 two or three weeks maybe more. You know, that's what's 0:39:07.320 --> 0:39:09.840 going to happen. And that's no, they're not gonna be 0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:13.160 the ICU able to get visitors. And and you know 0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:15.239 it's it's gonna be tough for for a while there. 0:39:15.280 --> 0:39:18.040 It's very and and also it's going to be a fight, right, 0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:20.759 It's it's one thing. I mean, the ICU. If you 0:39:20.840 --> 0:39:23.959 know your prognosis is, oh, it's you're gonna be fine, 0:39:24.040 --> 0:39:25.799 just give it time, which I mean, I guess then 0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:27.680 you probably considered stable. I don't know how long you'll 0:39:27.680 --> 0:39:30.440 be in the ICU, but if you're on a ventilator, 0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:34.760 I mean, that's and that's going to be a closer 0:39:34.800 --> 0:39:36.279 fought battle than any of us ever want to be 0:39:36.320 --> 0:39:40.680 in that position. So look, this is uh, this is 0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:43.120 where we get into now the travel ban and how 0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:45.960 that might help. And look, it is going to help. 0:39:46.600 --> 0:39:49.040 And I'm a little bit stunned to see that there 0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:50.640 are people out there and we're going to some of 0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:54.440 the politics of this. Right. Look, today's today's a today's 0:39:54.520 --> 0:39:59.200 a sober day, a solemn day in a sense on 0:39:59.400 --> 0:40:02.399 the show, right there's like we're going to ease into 0:40:02.400 --> 0:40:04.239 some other topics and some other things. But you know, 0:40:04.360 --> 0:40:06.520 right now, I mean the country, like I said, it's 0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:08.920 a wake up call, and we're at war with a virus. 0:40:09.040 --> 0:40:11.759 That's what's happening right now. I said, I think to you, 0:40:11.880 --> 0:40:13.560 even just yesterday, it's gonna be a day when I 0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:15.800 come in. I knew it was going to happen, given 0:40:16.000 --> 0:40:18.360 the trend in the last two weeks or so. I 0:40:18.440 --> 0:40:19.919 didn't know it would be here right away. I didn't 0:40:19.920 --> 0:40:21.480 know it would be here now. But that's where we are. 0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:23.440 We are, as I said, we're not at def Con one. 0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:25.080 This is not all out. You know, we don't have 0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:29.319 marshal law. We're at virus Defcon three. You know, we're 0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:33.759 at maybe maybe def conto, but def Con three for sure. 0:40:34.600 --> 0:40:39.000 So the President talks about this travel ban, and what 0:40:39.160 --> 0:40:42.640 could be more intuitive than you know, the big concern. 0:40:42.719 --> 0:40:44.840 I have to understand that the concern that all the 0:40:44.880 --> 0:40:47.799 policymakers have right now that everyone's trying to figure out 0:40:48.560 --> 0:40:52.040 is not only stopping the spread of this, but elong 0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:56.799 getting the curve in the spike of cases. Because let's 0:40:56.840 --> 0:41:00.160 just well, this is this is make believe maths. These 0:41:00.200 --> 0:41:03.480 are not real numbers. But just let's say in a 0:41:03.680 --> 0:41:06.879 country you have I'll just say a rant make believe 0:41:06.920 --> 0:41:14.080 country too. Let's say the country of Bukistan has ten thousand, 0:41:15.400 --> 0:41:21.879 ten thousand beds for ICU patients and five thousand ventilators, right, which, 0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:24.560 let's just say that that's the case, and you bring 0:41:24.640 --> 0:41:28.320 in and you have one hundred cases of coronavirus, and 0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:31.680 of that hundred cases, you have ten people who need, 0:41:32.239 --> 0:41:33.960 you know, who need that critical care, You're you're in 0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:39.200 good shape. But if you have a thousand people who 0:41:39.320 --> 0:41:41.560 are cases of coronavirus and they spread it, and then 0:41:41.560 --> 0:41:44.640 all of a sudden, you have fifteen thousand cases, you 0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:47.120 only have ten thousand beds and they all come in 0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:50.040 at the same time because the spread has been allowed 0:41:50.080 --> 0:41:52.160 to happen very rapidly, all at once because there have 0:41:52.680 --> 0:41:55.359 not been mitigation measures. Then you get people that are 0:41:55.640 --> 0:41:59.640 in the hallway at the hospital unable to breathe, and 0:42:00.200 --> 0:42:02.719 the doctors are having to do triage as though we're 0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:07.600 in a mass casualty disaster like an earthquake that's killed 0:42:07.640 --> 0:42:11.080 thousands of people, or a mass casualty terror attack or 0:42:11.200 --> 0:42:13.719 something where they're just trying to keep as many people 0:42:13.760 --> 0:42:15.839 live as they can and making decisions about who's going 0:42:15.880 --> 0:42:18.719 to live in who's not. So even if if you 0:42:18.800 --> 0:42:20.440 only have ten thousand beds and you end up having 0:42:20.480 --> 0:42:23.600 one hundred thousand cases, but you only have you know, 0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:28.440 let's say a few thousand a month coming through, your 0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:32.279 medical system can handle that. If you get you know, 0:42:32.440 --> 0:42:35.600 twenty thousand cases in one month and only ten thousand beds, 0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:40.160 now you've got a huge problem. So the timing of 0:42:40.840 --> 0:42:43.600 the spread of the virus really does matter to the 0:42:43.640 --> 0:42:46.200 public health, to the health system in general, and that's 0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:49.520 why limiting flights, everything that we can do to keep 0:42:49.560 --> 0:42:52.719 the numbers low as long as we can is critical. 0:42:53.640 --> 0:42:58.399 And yet you have people out there like Obama, White House, 0:42:58.520 --> 0:43:05.560 Ebolazar Ron Lane who says this play play thirteen. Look, 0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:07.640 I think part of this, Rachel is the classic Trump 0:43:07.760 --> 0:43:11.920 distraction tactic. He wants to see progressives debate to travel ban, 0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:15.120 so and so forth, and not come after where he 0:43:15.360 --> 0:43:18.719 has failed. We have tested five people out of every 0:43:18.840 --> 0:43:21.920 million in this country, and Korea they've tested two thousand 0:43:22.040 --> 0:43:24.920 people out of every million in their country. There is 0:43:24.960 --> 0:43:27.520 no reason why South Korea doesn't have technology we don't have, 0:43:28.000 --> 0:43:30.160 or a healthcare system we don't have, or anything we 0:43:30.239 --> 0:43:32.440 don't have. It is a failure of leadership. Of the 0:43:32.480 --> 0:43:35.480 Trump administration. He is doing anything he can to move 0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:38.399 the conversation elsewhere, to get us to talk about something 0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:40.680 else and not focus the fact that even tonight, even 0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:42.760 in that Oval Office address, all they can say about 0:43:42.760 --> 0:43:45.279 testing is we're going to do more of it sometime 0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:49.640 some number of people. We're getting there. Right. That's that's 0:43:49.760 --> 0:43:55.440 job one. That's job number one. Travel ban is a distraction. 0:43:55.560 --> 0:44:00.440 Is a reckless and stupid thing to say. Every I'm 0:44:00.480 --> 0:44:02.839 paying attention to what actual experts are saying, but all 0:44:02.880 --> 0:44:05.240 this different stuff, and you know, there have been conflicting numbers. 0:44:06.239 --> 0:44:09.200 You know, I saw early on people who were saying 0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:14.800 that they they were thinking the numbers. The mortality. Remember 0:44:14.800 --> 0:44:17.000 the mortality rate we're initially told was three point six 0:44:17.080 --> 0:44:20.719 percent around there in Italy. Right now the estimating it's 0:44:20.960 --> 0:44:23.279 it's at six percent, which is very high, which is 0:44:23.320 --> 0:44:25.560 why Italy is really this is this case study that 0:44:25.640 --> 0:44:28.680 has everyone so concerned. Now it looks like global mortality 0:44:28.800 --> 0:44:31.520 is closer to one percent, but that's still ten times 0:44:31.600 --> 0:44:34.160 the flu's mortality rate, which is point one percent, right, 0:44:34.200 --> 0:44:37.040 So the numbers are changing, The data is changing, you know, 0:44:37.080 --> 0:44:39.000 just because an expert says one thing, today. Doesn't mean 0:44:39.000 --> 0:44:41.400 they're not going to be wrong or change their opinion tomorrow. 0:44:42.600 --> 0:44:46.480 But I've seen no experts who make the case that 0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:50.920 limiting travel from I mean actual medical experts who care 0:44:50.960 --> 0:44:53.440 about keeping people alive. Ron claims a political operative, he's 0:44:53.480 --> 0:44:55.320 a hack. Okay, he's worked for you know, the Clinton's, 0:44:55.320 --> 0:44:56.440 the Obamas. I mean, this is what this is what 0:44:56.520 --> 0:44:59.200 this guy does, and he was put in charge of 0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:05.200 the abolis bons by the administration. Ebola is much easier 0:45:05.320 --> 0:45:11.480 to contain than this virus. The Wuhan virus is airborne, 0:45:12.360 --> 0:45:18.360 is easy to contract, and is spread rapidly through casual contact. 0:45:19.160 --> 0:45:23.560 Ebola you have to get someone's blood in your system. Basically, 0:45:23.560 --> 0:45:25.640 you have to get the you know, there their actual 0:45:25.760 --> 0:45:30.040 excretions in your system. That's different. You know, there weren't 0:45:30.080 --> 0:45:34.640 clouds of blood in the air that people could walk 0:45:34.719 --> 0:45:37.000 through and get a bola from. That's not how it works. 0:45:37.040 --> 0:45:39.879 So it's a lot easier to contain. But my point, 0:45:39.920 --> 0:45:41.719 you're just being you know, what this guy is saying 0:45:41.800 --> 0:45:46.720 is unhelpful. This is exactly the kind of cheap, petty 0:45:46.800 --> 0:45:50.200 politics when people are really worried. Right now, you know, 0:45:50.360 --> 0:45:53.880 I'm sure every person out there who who's taking a 0:45:53.960 --> 0:45:55.840 lot of time out of their day to trash Trump 0:45:56.520 --> 0:45:58.279 and say that he's doing a bad job on this 0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:01.160 has people that there were about him and people in 0:46:01.200 --> 0:46:03.640 my life that I have elevated concern for because they're 0:46:03.640 --> 0:46:07.480 at higher risk and you know, and look, anybody's at 0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:09.200 risk in a sense, and you know you've got this 0:46:09.360 --> 0:46:11.239 kind of a disease, you don't know your system is 0:46:11.280 --> 0:46:12.799 going to react. I'm not trying to scare people more 0:46:12.800 --> 0:46:15.040 than we're already scared. But you know, nobody wants to 0:46:15.120 --> 0:46:19.200 get this. Nobody wants to get this, especially people that 0:46:19.239 --> 0:46:21.120 are in the higher risk category. But everybody should be 0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:24.680 concerned about it. Why why pretend that the travel ban 0:46:25.719 --> 0:46:29.200 is not something that's going to have any effect. That's 0:46:29.239 --> 0:46:34.440 helpful if the whole problem is trying or I should say, 0:46:34.520 --> 0:46:37.360 if the primary effort right now is trying to prevent 0:46:37.440 --> 0:46:42.320 their being a huge immediate spike in cases, limiting the 0:46:42.719 --> 0:46:46.600 influx of people from places where they've already had or 0:46:46.640 --> 0:46:50.879 are undergoing right now a particularly high percentage of people 0:46:50.920 --> 0:46:53.720 infected with this virus. Of course, that's a good idea, 0:46:54.239 --> 0:46:56.200 and to focus on the community spread. This is a 0:46:56.280 --> 0:46:58.800 walk in chew gum situation. Yes, we focus on community 0:46:58.800 --> 0:47:03.560 spread and we stop the importation of the disease. It's 0:47:03.719 --> 0:47:06.960 very straightforward when you think about it. But there look, 0:47:07.000 --> 0:47:10.120 there's a lot of nonsense from brainless Democrats out there 0:47:10.239 --> 0:47:14.640 right now who are taking this as an opportunity they think, 0:47:15.120 --> 0:47:17.080 and I have to say this, this needs to be 0:47:17.160 --> 0:47:20.759 There are people for whom you know, Russia collusion and 0:47:22.400 --> 0:47:25.840 the Ukraine impeachment and you know, all this stuff that 0:47:25.880 --> 0:47:27.919 they've been that they've been saying about Trump, and they've 0:47:27.960 --> 0:47:30.239 just been wrong. They've been wrong and wrong and wrong 0:47:30.400 --> 0:47:33.320 and lies and wrong. Now they think that they finally 0:47:33.440 --> 0:47:36.200 have an opportunity to get their way and bring about 0:47:36.239 --> 0:47:39.279 the end of this administration. And they can't even think 0:47:40.600 --> 0:47:45.279 straight about what's happening in the country right now. Pardon me, 0:47:45.920 --> 0:47:49.080 they can't even think straight about that because they're so 0:47:49.360 --> 0:47:53.160 focused on using this to score points against the president. 0:47:53.320 --> 0:47:57.560 It's very disheartening and we should all be on guard 0:47:57.600 --> 0:48:01.239 against this because they're also I mean, this guy is 0:48:01.719 --> 0:48:04.920 this guy's somebody who is an Obola containment czar under 0:48:05.000 --> 0:48:07.920 Obama and he's going on TV to tell millions of 0:48:08.000 --> 0:48:12.360 people that the travel ban doesn't matter, which then is 0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:15.960 going to involve those people, going to result in those 0:48:16.040 --> 0:48:18.600 people saying, well, then why are they doing Maybe we 0:48:18.640 --> 0:48:21.279 shouldn't have a travel band. They'll put pressure on the administration, 0:48:21.360 --> 0:48:24.200 pressure on their elected officials that we shouldn't have a 0:48:24.280 --> 0:48:26.880 travel ban. And they're just saying, he's just saying this 0:48:27.080 --> 0:48:30.719 because he's looking to score points against the administration. I mean, 0:48:30.760 --> 0:48:33.960 that's really gross, that's really grotesque. It's a dumb thing 0:48:34.080 --> 0:48:37.799 to say. I've heard people who are medical experts now 0:48:37.880 --> 0:48:41.120 put forward all this issue specifically. They're like, yes, limiting flights, 0:48:41.360 --> 0:48:44.640 limiting spread absolutely the way to go right now. So 0:48:44.760 --> 0:48:46.880 why say that it's a distraction. Why be so flippant 0:48:46.880 --> 0:48:49.920 about this? You know, you're really people are showing you 0:48:50.480 --> 0:48:55.239 who they are in this whole ordeal, especially people in authority, 0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:59.320 people in the media, people that have influence over what 0:48:59.520 --> 0:49:02.200 you think about, what's about what's happening in this country 0:49:02.200 --> 0:49:05.880 and around the world, and they are many of them 0:49:05.920 --> 0:49:09.359 are using it recklessly. And I also think they'll never 0:49:09.480 --> 0:49:13.840 they'll never be any soul searching over this. But the 0:49:14.160 --> 0:49:17.439 same media that has been in a has been lighting 0:49:17.480 --> 0:49:21.200 their credibility on fire for years to attack the Trump 0:49:21.200 --> 0:49:24.040 administration now turns around and says, why don't you believe 0:49:24.080 --> 0:49:26.040 everything we say about this and that none of it 0:49:26.160 --> 0:49:30.520 is political. Well, because they've cried wolf, because they've they 0:49:30.640 --> 0:49:34.439 have sold their credibility, They've sold their credibility for short 0:49:34.520 --> 0:49:39.200 term audience game, for placating the the Trump Derange left. 0:49:39.440 --> 0:49:42.399 That is what they have been doing. So of course 0:49:42.480 --> 0:49:44.319 we take that into account. But I mean that was very, 0:49:45.239 --> 0:49:49.000 very troubling. I mean, look, here's a perfect example of 0:49:49.360 --> 0:49:52.920 what I'm talking about. Um, you know, Jim Acosta is 0:49:52.960 --> 0:49:57.200 out there and you know, you know Jim, I I 0:49:57.280 --> 0:50:00.360 don't know Jim Acosta. I gotta tell you. You know, 0:50:00.680 --> 0:50:03.520 it's amazing to me that CNN thinks that this isn't 0:50:03.520 --> 0:50:05.560 just completely that he's not an example of something that 0:50:05.680 --> 0:50:08.400 destroy He just destroys their credibility. I mean, if anyone's 0:50:08.400 --> 0:50:11.480 being honest, Jim Accosta is an activist. He's playing games 0:50:11.560 --> 0:50:13.760 all the time. But here he is. He has access 0:50:13.840 --> 0:50:16.560 to President United States, and he does have unfortunately a 0:50:16.760 --> 0:50:19.760 very large platform from which to inform the American public, 0:50:20.239 --> 0:50:22.560 and he is asked as a White House correspondent, meant 0:50:22.600 --> 0:50:25.000 to convey information to the public. After the President gives 0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:27.320 a speech from the Oval Office, he is asked to 0:50:28.360 --> 0:50:31.200 bring context and analysis to it that's helpful at a 0:50:31.239 --> 0:50:36.400 time of real national concern. And here is what he 0:50:36.520 --> 0:50:40.279 does with that ability. Play clip ten. At one point 0:50:40.400 --> 0:50:43.960 during this address, the President referred to the coronavirus as 0:50:44.040 --> 0:50:47.800 a quote foreign virus. That that I think was interesting 0:50:47.880 --> 0:50:50.239 because as I was talking to sources earlier this evening, 0:50:50.320 --> 0:50:52.160 one of the points that the President wanted to make tonight, 0:50:52.239 --> 0:50:55.000 wanted to get across to Americans is that this virus 0:50:55.080 --> 0:50:57.960 did not start here, but that they're dealing with it now. 0:50:58.080 --> 0:51:00.760 Why the President would go as far as to describe 0:51:00.760 --> 0:51:02.919 it as a foreign virus, that is something we'll also 0:51:02.960 --> 0:51:05.600 be asking questions about. But it should be pointed out 0:51:05.680 --> 0:51:09.520 that Stephen Miller, who is an immigration hardliner who advises 0:51:09.520 --> 0:51:12.480 the president, is one of his top domestic policy advisors 0:51:12.520 --> 0:51:15.560 and speech writers, right, was a driving force in writing 0:51:15.600 --> 0:51:18.120 the speech. And I think it's going to spack. It's 0:51:18.120 --> 0:51:19.960 going to come across to a lot of Americans as 0:51:20.000 --> 0:51:23.279 spacking of xenophobia, to use that kind of term in 0:51:23.320 --> 0:51:26.080 this speech. Chris, Well, look, sometimes we can answer the 0:51:26.200 --> 0:51:28.880 questions and answer is he's doing it to put blame 0:51:29.000 --> 0:51:34.920 somewhere else. What a bunch of morons. And really it 0:51:35.120 --> 0:51:38.360 is a Chinese virus. It did come from China, and 0:51:38.480 --> 0:51:41.279 the Chinese government suppressed information in the beginning that could 0:51:41.280 --> 0:51:45.239 have given the whole world the head start on developing tests, vaccines, 0:51:46.560 --> 0:51:52.239 coordining off people, creating measures to help with public safety. Yeah, 0:51:52.840 --> 0:51:56.120 that's all that's true. That's real. And the Chinese government 0:51:56.360 --> 0:51:59.959 is actively lying to its own population trying to blame 0:52:00.000 --> 0:52:02.560 America for this. That's happening right now. There is a 0:52:02.719 --> 0:52:06.279 Chinese government propaganda effort to blame America because this is 0:52:06.320 --> 0:52:10.200 going to have you know, global financial implications could last 0:52:10.239 --> 0:52:13.520 for quite a while, the implications of it. I mean, 0:52:13.560 --> 0:52:16.080 who knows. I mean, no one really knows how long 0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:18.320 this whole thing is going to continue on in any respect, 0:52:18.880 --> 0:52:20.880 So that could happen. And now we look at this 0:52:20.960 --> 0:52:23.719 and we say to ourselves, Okay, well, should we just 0:52:24.120 --> 0:52:26.800 allow the Chinese government to rewrite history and lie. Should 0:52:26.840 --> 0:52:28.799 they be able to tell the whole world, including their 0:52:28.840 --> 0:52:32.280 own population, that America is responsible for this. This happened 0:52:32.960 --> 0:52:37.799 because someone in China was selling rare animals in what's 0:52:37.840 --> 0:52:40.120 called a wasn't being called a wet market, an open 0:52:40.200 --> 0:52:44.520 air market in Wuhan City in Hubei Province in China. 0:52:45.239 --> 0:52:48.480 That's when or it escaped from the virology institute that 0:52:48.480 --> 0:52:50.239 happens to be ten miles away, which wouldn't be the 0:52:50.280 --> 0:52:52.920 first time that an infectious virus has escaped from that 0:52:53.120 --> 0:52:57.160 institute at all. It's one of those two things. So, yeah, 0:52:57.200 --> 0:53:02.040 it's Chinese. Why can't we speak about this honestly blaming 0:53:02.120 --> 0:53:04.799 the Chinese people for it? But we're trying to describe 0:53:04.880 --> 0:53:07.160 a thing. And why do they waste our time getting 0:53:07.160 --> 0:53:10.960 into this? I mean, it looks CNN. You'd think that 0:53:11.080 --> 0:53:13.279 now they would raise they'd raise the bar now they'd 0:53:13.320 --> 0:53:16.160 be serious. They can't. You shouldn't trust them, you shouldn't 0:53:16.160 --> 0:53:20.319 respect them. Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. 0:53:20.640 --> 0:53:24.360 Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or 0:53:24.440 --> 0:53:28.799 wherever you get your podcasts. And so we have targeted 0:53:28.880 --> 0:53:32.840 our relief. We make it. It's aimed at people, not 0:53:33.040 --> 0:53:37.200 at big corporations, not at some kind of general long 0:53:37.400 --> 0:53:40.840 term economic plan that the president might want for other purposes. 0:53:41.480 --> 0:53:44.720 It seems the president seems to be more worried about 0:53:44.800 --> 0:53:47.480 the health of the big banks than the help of Americans. 0:53:47.840 --> 0:53:51.960 We don't believe that works. And so the administration is 0:53:52.040 --> 0:53:57.520 proposing tax cuts and veilouts for the airline industry, the 0:53:57.600 --> 0:54:00.560 oil and gas industry. That's just out of touch. The 0:54:00.680 --> 0:54:04.239 bottom line. We need to put people first. Let's talk 0:54:04.239 --> 0:54:06.800 about the response. Now. I've told you a lot about 0:54:06.840 --> 0:54:08.919 where we are, what the threat is that we face, 0:54:09.040 --> 0:54:11.000 how we need to come together or try I've tried 0:54:11.040 --> 0:54:13.800 to minimize the politics, but as I said, there's politics 0:54:13.920 --> 0:54:17.239 is a discussion that involves policy, and policy at the 0:54:17.320 --> 0:54:19.920 national level, at the local level is part of our 0:54:20.000 --> 0:54:22.880 response right now. So I want to bring on our 0:54:22.920 --> 0:54:26.239 friend David Harsani from National Review to speak with us 0:54:26.239 --> 0:54:28.080 a little bit about this. David, thanks for making the time. 0:54:28.680 --> 0:54:30.600 It was a pleasure. I think. All right. First, you know, 0:54:30.719 --> 0:54:36.800 the people are talking about bailouts, stimulus, FED policy, helping 0:54:36.840 --> 0:54:40.759 the airline industry, helping the cruise industry. You know, what 0:54:41.160 --> 0:54:42.640 do you make of Let's start on the on the 0:54:42.719 --> 0:54:44.640 economic side of all this. What do you make of 0:54:44.719 --> 0:54:48.040 the actions administration talked about Trump talking about last night 0:54:48.320 --> 0:54:50.960 and that now Democrats are passing bills to try and 0:54:51.040 --> 0:54:56.360 do something well, the truth as truth is, I don't know. 0:54:56.800 --> 0:54:58.560 I mean in the sense that I don't know that 0:54:58.640 --> 0:55:01.759 we know exactly what is going to happen over the 0:55:01.880 --> 0:55:05.040 next two weeks, three weeks a month. As far as 0:55:05.440 --> 0:55:08.120 the economy, it seems to me, I'm no expert that 0:55:08.160 --> 0:55:10.239 there will be a recession because you have so much 0:55:11.160 --> 0:55:15.160 you know, inactivity economically because of this that it can't 0:55:15.680 --> 0:55:17.440 it will have an effect, obviously you see it in 0:55:17.480 --> 0:55:21.439 the markets. As a rule, I'm not for bailouts because 0:55:21.440 --> 0:55:24.880 I don't think they work. However, this is not a 0:55:25.080 --> 0:55:28.960 normal situation where you have, you know, an industry that 0:55:29.080 --> 0:55:34.320 hasn't hasn't acted in the best interest of of you know, 0:55:34.400 --> 0:55:37.040 as has been greedy or been giving loans they knew 0:55:37.040 --> 0:55:39.200 they wouldn't get back. I mean, you have here in 0:55:39.400 --> 0:55:44.719 existential threat that's a virus. It's not like something the 0:55:44.800 --> 0:55:47.520 economy is telling you. It's just outside of that. So 0:55:48.840 --> 0:55:51.400 perhaps we need to help the economy. I don't know 0:55:51.560 --> 0:55:53.320 is the real answer yet, because I don't know that 0:55:53.400 --> 0:55:56.840 we know how bad it's going to be. Well, let 0:55:56.880 --> 0:55:58.960 me just quickly add but the Democratic bill is like 0:55:59.320 --> 0:56:02.399 a goody list their usual stuff. So I'm not sure, 0:56:02.480 --> 0:56:05.200 just passing something to pass something's going to be helpful. 0:56:05.239 --> 0:56:08.120 So I hope the President thinks about that. Right, So 0:56:09.520 --> 0:56:12.400 it's not surprising people are trying to leverage this for 0:56:12.760 --> 0:56:16.719 politics right away. It is a little bit disheartening. Well here, 0:56:16.760 --> 0:56:19.640 well here, first, let's take this before. I'm trying so 0:56:19.800 --> 0:56:22.200 hard to avoid the partisan food fight today at least 0:56:22.200 --> 0:56:24.680 because it feels like this should beyond it. Here's what 0:56:24.760 --> 0:56:26.560 Trump said about what he's going to do. Play three 0:56:26.680 --> 0:56:31.080 more to ensure that working Americans impacted by the virus 0:56:31.200 --> 0:56:34.480 can stay home without fear or financial hardship. I will 0:56:34.560 --> 0:56:39.200 soon be taking emergency action, which is unprecedented, to provide 0:56:39.280 --> 0:56:43.279 financial relief. This will be targeted for workers who are ill, 0:56:44.040 --> 0:56:47.800 quarantine who are caring for others due to Corona virus. 0:56:48.560 --> 0:56:52.160 I will be asking Congress to take legislative action to 0:56:52.400 --> 0:56:57.040 extend this relief. Because of the economic policies that we 0:56:57.160 --> 0:57:00.560 have put into place over the last three years, we 0:57:00.800 --> 0:57:04.919 have the greatest economy anywhere in the world by far. 0:57:05.600 --> 0:57:10.680 Our banks and financial institutions are fully capitalized and incredibly strong. 0:57:11.320 --> 0:57:16.080 Our unemployment is at a historic clowe. This vast economic 0:57:16.160 --> 0:57:20.439 prosperity gives us flexibility, reserves and resources to handle any 0:57:20.520 --> 0:57:24.320 thread that comes our way. What do you think about 0:57:24.320 --> 0:57:28.880 all that sounds fine? I don't know that. You know, 0:57:29.400 --> 0:57:31.880 he's not very specific about what that means. But obviously 0:57:31.920 --> 0:57:34.120 people who are quarantined and people are sick, and if 0:57:34.160 --> 0:57:36.400 there's some relief for them, I don't see why we 0:57:36.440 --> 0:57:40.760 shouldn't want that. I would say, he's you know, as 0:57:40.800 --> 0:57:43.400 far as I see, he's right about the economy in 0:57:43.440 --> 0:57:47.040 the sense that once this people feel like this is over, 0:57:47.160 --> 0:57:50.680 there's no real underlying problem with the economy that shouldn't 0:57:50.960 --> 0:57:54.520 allow us to bounce back strongly afterwards. But then again, 0:57:54.800 --> 0:57:57.400 if it hits, you know, really badly and and lots 0:57:57.400 --> 0:58:01.520 of people are dying, God bid, then I don't I 0:58:01.560 --> 0:58:04.280 don't know what's going to happen or how people will feel. 0:58:04.480 --> 0:58:06.280 And the problem for me has been that I read 0:58:06.360 --> 0:58:09.280 one story and I'm like, oh, you know, it's not 0:58:09.360 --> 0:58:11.720 going to be that bad. We're just overreacting as usual. 0:58:11.760 --> 0:58:13.080 Then I read the next story and I'm like, oh 0:58:13.160 --> 0:58:15.880 my god, we're all going to die tomorrow. And I 0:58:16.000 --> 0:58:17.600 go back and forth all day and I'm not sure 0:58:17.640 --> 0:58:19.520 what to think about it. And that's that's a separate 0:58:19.560 --> 0:58:21.000 problem we have. I think, well, that was what I 0:58:21.080 --> 0:58:22.439 was going to ask you next. Where do you fall 0:58:22.560 --> 0:58:26.120 on the spectrum right now? I've been I've been pretty um, 0:58:27.600 --> 0:58:30.160 I'm bullish, I guess even I've been pretty confident that 0:58:31.080 --> 0:58:32.080 you know, I knew it was going to hit this, 0:58:32.160 --> 0:58:33.760 I knew they'd be cases, and I knew there were 0:58:33.760 --> 0:58:36.040 going to be fatalities from this. But I've been thinking 0:58:36.120 --> 0:58:37.480 that it's going to be okay. I mean this, this 0:58:37.520 --> 0:58:39.120 stuff that's really gotten me. I think a lot of 0:58:39.160 --> 0:58:41.600 people rattle isn't even so much the you know, the 0:58:42.240 --> 0:58:45.560 cancelations everything, it's these stories coming out of Italy are 0:58:45.720 --> 0:58:49.800 are pretty terrifying, right, So that's why you know, every 0:58:49.840 --> 0:58:51.920 in terms about flattening the curve and all that stuff. 0:58:51.960 --> 0:58:57.000 I'm typically not hysterical about these things. Most things don't 0:58:57.160 --> 0:59:00.960 turn out as bad as we think so, and I 0:59:01.120 --> 0:59:03.000 suspect that will be the case here as well. But 0:59:03.120 --> 0:59:05.840 that doesn't mean so. I think there's a wide range 0:59:05.880 --> 0:59:10.000 of positions you can take between hysteria and between dismissing something, 0:59:10.360 --> 0:59:12.400 and I think Trump was a little too dismissive in 0:59:12.440 --> 0:59:15.560 the beginning. There are you know, even if it's not 0:59:15.680 --> 0:59:18.040 worst case scenario. There are a lot of elderly people 0:59:18.080 --> 0:59:21.040 in this country, and a lot of immunocompromise people, and 0:59:21.080 --> 0:59:23.040 a lot of people who are nervous about this sort 0:59:23.080 --> 0:59:24.840 of thing, and I think we need to take that seriously. 0:59:25.600 --> 0:59:29.800 I think he's been better since then. But also hysteria's crazy. 0:59:29.800 --> 0:59:34.560 I mean, panicking and almost being gleeful about the economic 0:59:34.720 --> 0:59:37.680 ruin that might fall upon us simply for because it 0:59:37.760 --> 0:59:40.439 might help you with your politics. It's just really gross. 0:59:40.600 --> 0:59:42.680 And I just feel like there aren't a lot of 0:59:42.720 --> 0:59:44.919 grown ups out there when it comes to this sort 0:59:44.920 --> 0:59:46.680 of stuff, and that I think that's a separate problem 0:59:46.760 --> 0:59:48.360 that we have to face at some point, that we 0:59:48.400 --> 0:59:50.280 don't know who to trust because everyone has some sort 0:59:50.280 --> 0:59:53.600 of political angle. And I think that's the problem. I mean, 0:59:53.640 --> 0:59:57.240 I played before the audio from the former Ebolazar. He's 0:59:57.280 --> 0:59:59.160 just a lawyer and a chief of staff. I work 0:59:59.200 --> 1:00:03.400 for a bunch of Democrat administrations, ron Klain, and he 1:00:03.640 --> 1:00:06.640 was saying that the travel ban is just a distraction tactic. 1:00:06.720 --> 1:00:08.880 He went on Rachel Mattau showing fund millions of people. 1:00:09.440 --> 1:00:11.680 I mean, I think that that's reckless. I actually think 1:00:11.680 --> 1:00:13.640 that crosses a line from like, I don't like what 1:00:13.720 --> 1:00:16.400 he's saying to this. This is this is a guy 1:00:16.480 --> 1:00:20.200 who's who's telling people things, who's advocating against a position 1:00:20.240 --> 1:00:23.200 that could save lives, and is therefore actually imperiling lives 1:00:23.440 --> 1:00:26.080 and doing so. He must know. They're like, we don't 1:00:26.080 --> 1:00:27.440 want to have a whole bunch of flights coming in 1:00:27.520 --> 1:00:31.439 from Milan, Italy, right, Like he's not a total moron. Right, Well, 1:00:31.680 --> 1:00:35.040 you know, I think that that's why, you know, folks 1:00:35.120 --> 1:00:38.080 like him, It's why we can't trust what we're being told. 1:00:38.600 --> 1:00:42.720 And you know, I mean the idea. Listen, here's the thing. Literally, 1:00:42.840 --> 1:00:45.040 nothing the president was going to do was going to 1:00:45.160 --> 1:00:47.200 be okay for a bunch of people out there. They 1:00:47.200 --> 1:00:48.600 were going to either was going to be enough, it 1:00:48.680 --> 1:00:49.880 was going to be too much, it was going to 1:00:49.880 --> 1:00:53.560 be too stupid. There is nothing he can do that 1:00:53.680 --> 1:00:58.440 it's going to make them feel where, you know, satisfy them. 1:00:58.520 --> 1:01:00.760 So I think we need to ignore those kinds of people. 1:01:00.840 --> 1:01:03.640 I do get worried when I hear you know, a 1:01:03.800 --> 1:01:06.080 doctor or you know, I forgot his name now, but 1:01:06.120 --> 1:01:08.320 they leaked, you know, leaked his testimony or whatever. He 1:01:08.320 --> 1:01:12.680 says one hundred and fifty million people might get coronavirus. Okay, 1:01:12.800 --> 1:01:15.320 now show me your charts and tell me how you 1:01:15.440 --> 1:01:18.120 came to that, because that seems really, really bad. And 1:01:18.240 --> 1:01:20.680 I think that that's the sort of panic I really hate, 1:01:20.720 --> 1:01:23.960 because you know, you're just throwing a remark out there 1:01:24.000 --> 1:01:26.880 with any without any context. It's very difficult to find it. 1:01:28.200 --> 1:01:30.000 Just what are you thinking now in terms of what 1:01:30.080 --> 1:01:33.080 you want to do next and what you're you know, well, 1:01:33.120 --> 1:01:35.760 what is your respellence right now? Mary? Are you? Are 1:01:35.840 --> 1:01:38.440 you social distancing? And then some I mean, where where 1:01:38.440 --> 1:01:40.480 are you putting your own your own sense of how 1:01:40.560 --> 1:01:42.680 you're going to comport yourself here? Going for I'm not 1:01:42.680 --> 1:01:43.840 sure that's the right word, but you know what I mean, 1:01:43.880 --> 1:01:46.160 how you're going to conduct yourself? There you go? I know, 1:01:46.280 --> 1:01:49.800 I buck I have social distance. For a long time, 1:01:49.880 --> 1:01:53.840 I were in my own office, and I am not 1:01:55.040 --> 1:01:57.920 a social butterfully, I'm not out there most of the time. 1:01:58.000 --> 1:01:59.520 But obviously I live in the real world and I 1:01:59.600 --> 1:02:02.520 have kids, and I worry about that, especially one of 1:02:02.560 --> 1:02:06.560 them is immunocompromised, and I feel like, uh, you know, 1:02:06.760 --> 1:02:11.000 I keep her home right now, even though I know, listen, 1:02:11.200 --> 1:02:13.160 when you're a parent, You're not going to be rational 1:02:13.200 --> 1:02:15.840 about that stuff. I realize that I'm in the real world. 1:02:15.880 --> 1:02:17.240 I have to be rational. But when you have your 1:02:17.240 --> 1:02:19.120 own kids, you're like, whoa, you know, so why not 1:02:19.440 --> 1:02:22.560 just keep them home and be safe and you know, 1:02:22.880 --> 1:02:25.080 wash your hands and do all the right things. That's 1:02:25.080 --> 1:02:26.800 what I try to do. I mean, you know, it's 1:02:26.840 --> 1:02:28.720 out of our control to some extent. You know, when 1:02:28.800 --> 1:02:31.200 Tom Hanks gets it, that really hits you know, You're like, 1:02:31.240 --> 1:02:34.080 even famous people who are well taken care of can 1:02:34.160 --> 1:02:37.760 get sick. So but in the end, I feel like 1:02:38.320 --> 1:02:41.280 it's probably not going to be as bad as Italy. 1:02:41.360 --> 1:02:43.880 I just feel like in some sense, we're just better 1:02:43.960 --> 1:02:47.040 prepared and we can move fast room because of our economy, 1:02:47.160 --> 1:02:49.520 we can we can deal with these things. So, you know, 1:02:50.000 --> 1:02:52.240 and when I you know, I leave this house actually 1:02:52.240 --> 1:02:54.320 and go out into the real world. I'm actually hardened 1:02:54.320 --> 1:02:56.600 to see that normal people don't act with the kind 1:02:56.640 --> 1:02:59.720 of hysteria that we see on Twitter, etc. You know, 1:03:00.000 --> 1:03:01.960 are just going about their business, I think as best 1:03:02.000 --> 1:03:04.840 as they can. Twitter has been, you know, especially for 1:03:05.200 --> 1:03:08.600 in blue check journalist world. I feel like it's been 1:03:08.640 --> 1:03:10.400 worse than it has ever been in the last in 1:03:10.440 --> 1:03:12.080 the last week or so, I think this is like 1:03:12.160 --> 1:03:14.360 the ugliest. I mean I told you before, you know, 1:03:14.560 --> 1:03:17.320 I went on Bill Mars Show, and my message was, 1:03:17.440 --> 1:03:19.240 we all want this to work, we all want Trump 1:03:19.280 --> 1:03:21.840 to do his best. This is really beyond politics. And 1:03:21.920 --> 1:03:23.680 I mean I actually had people writing me messages like 1:03:23.720 --> 1:03:25.200 that they hope that I, you know, I and everyone 1:03:25.200 --> 1:03:29.400 I know gets coronavirus and dies. That you mentioned that 1:03:29.480 --> 1:03:33.840 the gleefulness. There's there's a deep psychological sickness in American 1:03:33.880 --> 1:03:37.600 politics that this actual sickness, I think is is showing 1:03:37.760 --> 1:03:39.600 us in ways. It reminds me a little bit of 1:03:39.680 --> 1:03:42.960 after After right after nine to eleven. There were people, 1:03:43.360 --> 1:03:45.200 and I've told stories about this, there were people who 1:03:45.200 --> 1:03:47.640 are like, yeah, America got what I mean Americans who 1:03:47.680 --> 1:03:51.480 are like, yeah, we got we deserved. Yeah. No, I 1:03:51.600 --> 1:03:55.520 think this is the worst. It's successful. It's been completely unhelpful. 1:03:56.040 --> 1:03:58.000 It's you know, would rather than help to guide us. 1:03:58.040 --> 1:04:00.320 Because Twitter can be amazing, and that's just Twitter, social 1:04:00.360 --> 1:04:04.160 media where you connect people who have in ways instantaneously 1:04:04.200 --> 1:04:06.480 where they can help each other figure out what's going 1:04:06.560 --> 1:04:08.920 on in the big picture. Right, That's not what happened. 1:04:08.960 --> 1:04:12.400 You just have rumors, you have idiocy, you have you know, 1:04:12.680 --> 1:04:15.320 people who no matter what you know, what Trump says, 1:04:15.360 --> 1:04:17.400 they're going to be angry, and other people frankly old 1:04:17.440 --> 1:04:19.480 defense Trump no matter what he's doing as well. So 1:04:19.760 --> 1:04:23.840 everything becomes politics and we can't it's very difficult, difficult 1:04:23.840 --> 1:04:25.800 to get like a good read on what you know 1:04:25.880 --> 1:04:28.400 the threat, and maybe people don't know you know what 1:04:28.520 --> 1:04:31.040 the threat is. I don't know, but yeah, I mean, 1:04:31.120 --> 1:04:33.640 I've basically tried to turn it off for the most 1:04:33.680 --> 1:04:36.400 part because it's it's not been helpful, and that's that's 1:04:36.400 --> 1:04:38.680 a shame, because it is an amazing technology when you 1:04:38.760 --> 1:04:40.880 really think about it, it should be much much, much 1:04:40.920 --> 1:04:43.760 more helpful. Do you think that the administration has reached 1:04:43.760 --> 1:04:46.320 a point where they they are locked in in terms 1:04:46.360 --> 1:04:48.400 of how serious they should be and how focused they 1:04:48.440 --> 1:04:52.800 are on this. They seem to be headed in that direction. 1:04:52.880 --> 1:04:56.720 Initially I didn't think so, And obviously I don't know 1:04:56.720 --> 1:04:58.520 if you've read these stories, but you know, because you 1:04:58.600 --> 1:05:02.680 have such a big centralized bureaucracy with the CDC. Literally 1:05:02.760 --> 1:05:05.760 the doctor in Seattle broke the law to try to 1:05:05.840 --> 1:05:07.959 help and track this and do a pretty good job. 1:05:08.440 --> 1:05:10.720 So I think that we after this, we need to 1:05:10.800 --> 1:05:14.120 rethink how we deal maybe in more decentralized Well, well, 1:05:14.280 --> 1:05:16.080 I you know, I have mentioned that story, and I've 1:05:16.120 --> 1:05:18.400 been saying to people, you know, this is where you know, 1:05:18.440 --> 1:05:21.240 in the early days, it was oh, you know, the CDC, 1:05:21.440 --> 1:05:24.120 the CDC, the CDC funding and everything else. And I'm like, 1:05:24.200 --> 1:05:27.000 I told people, you know, I worked for the CIA, 1:05:27.320 --> 1:05:30.640 which you know has a lot a lot of funding 1:05:30.960 --> 1:05:33.280 and a lot of people working for it and thinks 1:05:33.360 --> 1:05:36.080 it's really pretty high speed and cool, and if people 1:05:36.160 --> 1:05:38.360 knew the mistakes that go on there, I can't even imagine. Like, 1:05:38.840 --> 1:05:40.440 look that The fact of the matter is that if 1:05:40.440 --> 1:05:42.760 you're going to be a researcher in the medical profession, 1:05:43.200 --> 1:05:45.240 CDC I'm sure is a good place to go before 1:05:45.320 --> 1:05:48.040 you go into other places. But I think Big Pharma 1:05:48.200 --> 1:05:50.480 is more likely to actually come up with something that's 1:05:50.520 --> 1:05:52.160 really going to help this in the next six to 1:05:52.280 --> 1:05:56.400 twelve months. Dennis CDC will oh my god. Yeah, I mean, 1:05:56.960 --> 1:06:00.440 you know, you can't foresee this stuff sometime, so I 1:06:00.560 --> 1:06:03.080 don't know how quickly they can move either, but but 1:06:03.320 --> 1:06:07.080 obviously they move far quicker than government, and uh, you know, 1:06:07.120 --> 1:06:10.360 I already saw, you know, the rumors of ad vaccines 1:06:10.480 --> 1:06:13.720 being created in Israel and other places with these pharmaceutical companies. 1:06:13.800 --> 1:06:17.440 I don't you know, the CDC is a disaster. It 1:06:18.000 --> 1:06:21.560 started out as a agency to help fight malaria, right, 1:06:21.720 --> 1:06:24.960 and now you know it's it's a massive budget, spends 1:06:25.040 --> 1:06:26.800 most of its time telling us what, you know, what 1:06:27.000 --> 1:06:29.440 fruits we should be eating, and you know how much 1:06:29.480 --> 1:06:31.560 we should be walking and stuff that's none of its 1:06:31.640 --> 1:06:35.800 business as a massive, massive budget and hasn't really been 1:06:35.840 --> 1:06:38.080 cut at all. That's that's just the myth anyway. But 1:06:38.640 --> 1:06:40.919 I've been writing about the CDC for a long time 1:06:41.040 --> 1:06:43.720 and there they're just a nanti state organization. They have 1:06:43.800 --> 1:06:46.600 far more important things to be worried about. But still 1:06:46.600 --> 1:06:48.240 I wouldn't want them in control of it. I think 1:06:48.320 --> 1:06:52.040 I trust farmer companies far more than I do. You know, 1:06:52.080 --> 1:06:54.160 any kind of centralized group. And also, I mean think 1:06:54.160 --> 1:06:56.600 about this. You have China or Italy, and I'm not 1:06:56.640 --> 1:06:59.760 saying they have a similar sized, similar kind of centralized 1:07:00.760 --> 1:07:04.680 socialized medicine, but they are centralized, right, and their reactions 1:07:04.720 --> 1:07:06.360 have not been good at all. So I don't know 1:07:06.480 --> 1:07:09.400 that you know that that and we'll see these other 1:07:09.440 --> 1:07:11.400 countries how they're going to deal with it now. So 1:07:12.280 --> 1:07:14.440 I don't know if there's any sort of there's not 1:07:14.560 --> 1:07:16.760 one answer to this kind of thing, and it's it's 1:07:16.840 --> 1:07:19.240 difficult no matter how prepared you are. People don't have 1:07:19.360 --> 1:07:22.560 to realize that you don't have some solution to everything immediately. 1:07:23.280 --> 1:07:25.720 All right, Well, good luck with the social distancing, keep 1:07:25.720 --> 1:07:28.960 yours yours close in hand and safe. And David, we 1:07:29.000 --> 1:07:30.760 always appreciate you making the time a chat with us. 1:07:30.760 --> 1:07:35.919 Thank you anytime to do too. You're in the Freedom Hunt. 1:07:36.400 --> 1:07:43.200 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. You know, they 1:07:43.280 --> 1:07:45.440 keep telling us that we need to be adults and 1:07:45.560 --> 1:07:47.560 that Trump needs to be an adult, and that you 1:07:47.640 --> 1:07:50.960 know that this is all about rising above partisan rancor 1:07:51.040 --> 1:07:52.640 and all this stuff. I mean, here's a tweet from 1:07:52.720 --> 1:07:55.440 Hillary Clinton from this morning. I know this is all 1:07:55.520 --> 1:07:57.560 hard for you real, Donald Trump, So let me spell 1:07:57.600 --> 1:08:01.760 it out. Free testing, fee waivers, emergency say leave, quarantines, cancelations, 1:08:02.480 --> 1:08:07.360 giving a dam She really the president doesn't give a damn. 1:08:07.400 --> 1:08:09.960 The president might end up getting coronavirus. I assure you 1:08:10.240 --> 1:08:16.000 the president gives a dam But why do that? Can't 1:08:16.040 --> 1:08:17.880 can't put that on hold for just you know, a 1:08:17.960 --> 1:08:21.439 few a few weeks here, even a few days. They're 1:08:21.479 --> 1:08:23.080 all talking about how we have to come together and 1:08:23.400 --> 1:08:26.360 face this and do what is necessary. And then they 1:08:26.439 --> 1:08:28.760 turn around immediately and they want a lecture all of us. 1:08:28.760 --> 1:08:30.800 I mean, here's another example. There's all this fighting over 1:08:30.840 --> 1:08:33.360 whether we should call it Wuhan virus, whether that's racist 1:08:33.520 --> 1:08:37.960 or not, or Chinese coronavirus. Here's how the media was 1:08:38.000 --> 1:08:39.720 referring to it as of you know, about a week 1:08:39.760 --> 1:08:42.600 and a half ago. Play clip one. The Wuhan coronavirus 1:08:42.640 --> 1:08:45.120 has now surpassed the two thousand and three Stars outbreak. 1:08:45.240 --> 1:08:48.720 The first two s case of Chinese coronavirus was confirmed 1:08:48.760 --> 1:08:52.000 at Her Hospital. Of Her hospitals inside that building is 1:08:52.040 --> 1:08:55.959 the world's first labrum copy of the Uhan coronavirus outside 1:08:56.000 --> 1:09:00.040 mainland China. The Chinese coronavirus death toll has jumped to 1:09:00.160 --> 1:09:02.760 at least twenty six people. The death toll from the 1:09:02.800 --> 1:09:07.240 Wuhan coronavirus spike today. The Chinese virus the coronavirus that 1:09:07.439 --> 1:09:11.000 is worrying the whole world. This comes as the Chinese 1:09:11.439 --> 1:09:15.000 coronavirus death toll has jumped to at least twenty six 1:09:15.080 --> 1:09:19.080 people and sickened at least eight hundred and thirty five people. 1:09:19.760 --> 1:09:22.320 They did they just discover xenophobia and racism in the 1:09:22.400 --> 1:09:25.840 last week. Oh, those are all different shows on major 1:09:25.920 --> 1:09:29.439 cable news networks, all calling it either Chinese or Wuhan 1:09:29.520 --> 1:09:32.439 coronavirus or whatever. So was that racist or I just 1:09:32.560 --> 1:09:34.360 I just want to know what the rules are here. 1:09:35.280 --> 1:09:37.800 I know there are more important there are more important things. 1:09:37.840 --> 1:09:39.880 Although you could you could play that game with everything, right, 1:09:39.920 --> 1:09:41.960 So now, are we allowed to talk about the toilet 1:09:41.960 --> 1:09:44.000 paper shortage? We're just Oh, there's more important things. Are 1:09:44.040 --> 1:09:46.040 we allowed to talk about you know, what it's like 1:09:46.200 --> 1:09:49.720 to live in the world that's in the midst of this? 1:09:49.920 --> 1:09:51.519 Or do we have to just all sit around and 1:09:51.920 --> 1:09:53.880 look at the statistics and be terrified all the time. 1:09:53.920 --> 1:09:55.400 And we know life has to go on. We have 1:09:55.520 --> 1:09:58.200 to move on together. That's why I said we're gonna 1:09:58.200 --> 1:09:59.680 do this show day and day in and day out. 1:09:59.720 --> 1:10:01.759 We're where we have things to talk about. I'm sorry 1:10:01.760 --> 1:10:05.120 we haven't done a greater range of topics today. I'd 1:10:05.160 --> 1:10:07.200 meant to get to some other things, but look, right now, 1:10:07.960 --> 1:10:10.920 truth is, this is the single biggest thing by far. 1:10:11.400 --> 1:10:14.640 Nothing else even comes close to this story in the 1:10:14.800 --> 1:10:17.720 entire world, never mind us here in America. So that's 1:10:17.720 --> 1:10:19.240 why we've been spending the time in it that we have. 1:10:21.880 --> 1:10:23.160 You know, what do I see? I want to tell 1:10:23.160 --> 1:10:24.519 you a little bit of what I what I see 1:10:24.600 --> 1:10:26.200 coming here, just so we can get on the same 1:10:26.240 --> 1:10:28.479 page with that. I'll have some other thoughts for you 1:10:28.640 --> 1:10:31.479 on you know, there was a Supreme Court victory, well 1:10:31.680 --> 1:10:34.120 short term victory leased for the Trump administration on something 1:10:34.200 --> 1:10:37.000 that does still matter. And then producer Mark and I 1:10:37.120 --> 1:10:40.840 will kind of, you know, take a breather by having 1:10:40.920 --> 1:10:42.880 you guys tell us what you think in roll call. 1:10:43.680 --> 1:10:47.160 Thanks for listening to The bus Esson Show podcasts. Remember 1:10:47.240 --> 1:10:50.519 to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeart Radio app, or 1:10:50.600 --> 1:10:54.639 wherever you get your podcasts. Perhaps here's a moment where 1:10:54.680 --> 1:10:57.320 we can talk about some other stories, some of the 1:10:57.360 --> 1:10:59.080 things that are happening in the country right now. There 1:10:59.240 --> 1:11:04.000 was a a stay granted yesterday on a federal court 1:11:04.120 --> 1:11:05.800 ruling has to do with the southern border. Now, look, 1:11:05.960 --> 1:11:08.800 everything now also has a bit of a of a 1:11:08.880 --> 1:11:14.519 whun virus tie in because everything is affected by this, 1:11:14.680 --> 1:11:18.120 and so we're talking about borders. We need secure borders. 1:11:18.240 --> 1:11:20.120 I think there's a greater understanding now of that than 1:11:20.160 --> 1:11:23.040 there has been in a long time, or at least 1:11:23.160 --> 1:11:25.080 there should be a greater understanding of that. I'm not 1:11:25.160 --> 1:11:27.000 sure that people have. No one changes their mind these 1:11:27.080 --> 1:11:28.840 days about anything right now. You can never change your 1:11:28.880 --> 1:11:30.799 mind when new facts come in. That would be crazy. 1:11:31.960 --> 1:11:35.040 But there was a federal judge this keeps happening, federal 1:11:35.120 --> 1:11:38.680 judge who told the Trump administration, no, you can't, you 1:11:38.800 --> 1:11:41.479 can't do that thing that you want to do. We're 1:11:41.520 --> 1:11:43.559 going I as a federal judge, I'm going to say 1:11:43.600 --> 1:11:47.800 that that's not constitutional, that's that's illegal for some reason. 1:11:48.680 --> 1:11:51.800 Usually the fallback is the Administrative Procedure Act, you know, 1:11:51.880 --> 1:11:55.680 that had just come up with some twisted you know, 1:11:56.760 --> 1:11:59.240 just try and way too hard legal ease to try 1:11:59.320 --> 1:12:01.519 and explore lane why we are where we are on 1:12:01.600 --> 1:12:05.639 all this stuff. Right, So this is where you get. Finally, 1:12:05.680 --> 1:12:08.479 the Supreme Court they will look at this and say no, no, no, 1:12:08.600 --> 1:12:13.200 you gotta let They've they've lifted the stay that stopped 1:12:13.200 --> 1:12:17.719 the Trump administration from implementing the remain in Mexico program. 1:12:18.040 --> 1:12:22.120 The Remaining Mexico programs pretty straightforward. It was set up 1:12:22.200 --> 1:12:24.920 so that if you come to the US Mexico border 1:12:25.800 --> 1:12:28.840 and you claim asylum, you no longer get to just 1:12:28.920 --> 1:12:31.080 get released in the interior of the United States, because 1:12:31.120 --> 1:12:34.080 this was just a huge backdoor process to come into 1:12:34.120 --> 1:12:36.400 the country and break the law and doing so showing 1:12:36.520 --> 1:12:39.280 up because the ports of entry, they tried to limit 1:12:39.760 --> 1:12:42.240 how many people were coming through through these through the 1:12:42.280 --> 1:12:44.200 asylum process the ports of entry. So what they would 1:12:44.200 --> 1:12:47.040 do is they would just come across the border illegally, 1:12:47.160 --> 1:12:51.120 get arrested and then never show up for their court date, 1:12:51.200 --> 1:12:53.000 or if they do show up and they don't get asylum, 1:12:53.040 --> 1:12:55.559 they don't show up for their deportation hearing. They are 1:12:55.560 --> 1:12:59.160 all these levels that it moves through in which and 1:12:59.240 --> 1:13:01.599 by the way, people about this, oh my gosh, it's 1:13:01.920 --> 1:13:04.040 there are so many Democrats. Oh, they all show up 1:13:04.040 --> 1:13:06.120 at their meetings, They'll all show up at the court hearings. 1:13:06.120 --> 1:13:09.479 I promise. No, they didn't. Of course they didn't. They 1:13:09.520 --> 1:13:12.000 were never going to We all knew that. But people 1:13:12.080 --> 1:13:14.599 lie while it was useful to them about this because 1:13:14.720 --> 1:13:18.200 there's a big ideological investment that the left has in 1:13:18.400 --> 1:13:25.040 being quasi open borders, right, that's the that's the real 1:13:25.120 --> 1:13:28.960 issue here. They don't want it doesn't matter what the 1:13:29.000 --> 1:13:31.280 facts are, it doesn't matter what the numbers are. They 1:13:31.560 --> 1:13:37.360 are just going to always favor a policy that keeps 1:13:37.439 --> 1:13:41.599 us all with this open borders, de facto open border 1:13:41.640 --> 1:13:43.559 status where if you show up you get to just say, hey, 1:13:43.600 --> 1:13:45.320 I want to claim a sound then it release the 1:13:45.400 --> 1:13:49.200 United States. So the Supreme Court said, no, no, no, no, no, 1:13:49.360 --> 1:13:50.800 they have to be able to continue the remain in 1:13:50.840 --> 1:13:54.160 Mexico program because what that well, what it does, I 1:13:54.200 --> 1:13:57.280 should they the administration must be allowed to do this 1:13:57.400 --> 1:13:59.840 because what it does is it takes people and says 1:14:00.080 --> 1:14:02.480 you have to wait in Mexico while your claim is adjudicated, 1:14:02.520 --> 1:14:03.800 so you don't get to have this back to our 1:14:03.920 --> 1:14:06.360 entrance in the United States. It's all it says, that's 1:14:06.360 --> 1:14:08.280 all the policy is. And I think they're eighty thousand 1:14:08.320 --> 1:14:11.320 people already who and guess what, Oh, what a surprise, 1:14:11.439 --> 1:14:13.200 all these people that were showing up saying, oh yeah, 1:14:13.240 --> 1:14:16.240 I want asylum, not if they have to actually wait 1:14:16.360 --> 1:14:18.439 and show up in court and stay on the Mexico 1:14:18.479 --> 1:14:20.800 side of the border. Because it was all a scam, 1:14:20.920 --> 1:14:22.439 and we knew it was a scam and I told 1:14:22.479 --> 1:14:24.920 you it was and we were right. Okay, So the 1:14:24.960 --> 1:14:27.360 Supreme Court except for Soda Mayor, who I think is 1:14:29.200 --> 1:14:32.639 clearly the least capable lawyer sitting on the Supreme Court, 1:14:33.320 --> 1:14:35.880 just based on her decisions, based on the way that 1:14:36.160 --> 1:14:38.320 she you know, the way that she asked questions, based 1:14:38.360 --> 1:14:40.560 on her judgment, and then as a judge, she's a 1:14:40.840 --> 1:14:48.519 deeply flawed and really subpar legal mind. And she you 1:14:48.560 --> 1:14:50.599 know what she says, no, you know, oh, of course, 1:14:50.840 --> 1:14:53.160 because it's not a policy thing for her right she 1:14:53.320 --> 1:14:55.519 sees the Trump administration, it says, you can't do this. 1:14:55.720 --> 1:14:58.800 You have no control over borders, even though you're the 1:14:58.840 --> 1:15:03.360 executive branch. You that command in chief not allowed. The 1:15:03.479 --> 1:15:06.360 other the other judges said no, no, no, okay, you know, 1:15:06.520 --> 1:15:08.800 you got to let the administration do this. This can't 1:15:08.800 --> 1:15:13.680 be the hashtag judiciary getting its way, because that's what 1:15:13.760 --> 1:15:15.960 they've been doing all along. They're trying to slow down 1:15:16.080 --> 1:15:18.720 the president, trying to prevent him from being able to 1:15:18.800 --> 1:15:21.840 do his job use the powers that he has. And 1:15:22.080 --> 1:15:27.200 then then you also get this update from Immigrations and 1:15:27.280 --> 1:15:31.920 Customs Enforcement. They say that a current deportation rates, it 1:15:32.000 --> 1:15:36.160 would take one hundred and forty years to remove all 1:15:36.240 --> 1:15:38.439 the illegal immigrants who came in during the border surge 1:15:38.479 --> 1:15:44.160 of the last two years. A hundred and forty years, folks. 1:15:44.600 --> 1:15:46.120 That's just for the people that came in the last 1:15:46.160 --> 1:15:49.640 two years. Never mind, you know, the process of the 1:15:49.720 --> 1:15:52.280 speed with which we are able to generally deport people 1:15:52.760 --> 1:15:55.360 who are in the country illegally and who commit additional crimes, 1:15:55.439 --> 1:15:57.800 or who for whatever reason, are higher up on the 1:15:58.680 --> 1:16:04.320 enforcement on the enforcement list. So they added nine hundred 1:16:04.400 --> 1:16:09.120 thousand cases to ICE's non detained docket. ICE is non 1:16:09.200 --> 1:16:12.759 detained docket, according to the Acting Director of Immigration's Customer 1:16:12.840 --> 1:16:17.519 Enforcement now has three point three million people in it. 1:16:18.760 --> 1:16:21.360 The number of illegal immigrants in the country is not 1:16:21.800 --> 1:16:25.840 eleven million, folks, it's fifteen to twenty at least at least. 1:16:27.600 --> 1:16:30.240 This is also why the government, which we see has 1:16:30.240 --> 1:16:31.840 plenty of problems in a lot of ways. The government 1:16:31.920 --> 1:16:33.920 never really wants to do a full and accurate account 1:16:33.960 --> 1:16:36.360 of this because we'd find out that the government numbers 1:16:36.400 --> 1:16:37.920 have been wrong and that we've been lied to on 1:16:38.000 --> 1:16:41.080 this for a very very long time. And now I 1:16:41.200 --> 1:16:46.720 have to say, we can't really talk about the coronavirus situation, 1:16:47.320 --> 1:16:49.519 and we can't really talk about the border, and given 1:16:49.520 --> 1:16:53.719 the coronavirus situation, not discuss how isn't it really important 1:16:53.760 --> 1:16:55.479 now that we have control of our ports of entry 1:16:55.520 --> 1:16:57.000 and that we know who's coming into the country and 1:16:57.040 --> 1:17:00.360 who's not. If you were somebody and look at some 1:17:00.520 --> 1:17:03.120 point we do. This is where we're also saying that 1:17:03.160 --> 1:17:06.439 the United States has finite resources. We do not have 1:17:06.520 --> 1:17:08.519 the resources to pay for everyone stuff from all over 1:17:08.520 --> 1:17:10.000 the world. We do not have the resources to be 1:17:10.080 --> 1:17:13.960 the world's soup kitchen and healthcare ward. We don't have that. 1:17:14.520 --> 1:17:19.160 We can't do it right. We know this. We're already 1:17:19.200 --> 1:17:22.080 seeing other countries that their health systems have been overwhelmed 1:17:22.600 --> 1:17:26.320 in a crisis. Now, if you were in the midst 1:17:26.320 --> 1:17:27.920 of what could be an outbreak, I don't know, in 1:17:28.120 --> 1:17:31.360 a country south of our border, pick any country, and 1:17:31.479 --> 1:17:34.200 you knew that America's border was porous, and that if 1:17:34.240 --> 1:17:37.479 you got here you'd be able to count on world 1:17:37.560 --> 1:17:40.360 class medical care given to you free of charge. You 1:17:40.439 --> 1:17:42.960 know that might be a big incentive. But keep in 1:17:43.080 --> 1:17:45.720 mind that we all ready with the people that are 1:17:45.760 --> 1:17:48.640 here in this country are very worried about having the 1:17:48.800 --> 1:17:53.200 surge capacity and hospitals to deal with the increase in 1:17:53.280 --> 1:17:55.400 the You know, if we have a sudden massive increase 1:17:55.400 --> 1:17:57.920 in the number of infected people in this country, having 1:17:58.000 --> 1:18:02.519 that searge capacity something that we may not have, we 1:18:02.680 --> 1:18:04.920 don't really have right now, we'd have to work at it. 1:18:05.240 --> 1:18:07.800 In a very interestant that I heard in the conversation 1:18:07.880 --> 1:18:11.760 over masks. You know, they have the N ninety five 1:18:11.920 --> 1:18:16.960 masks with the respirators that they can use for medical purposes, 1:18:17.000 --> 1:18:19.559 but also the ones that are that are industrial grain 1:18:19.600 --> 1:18:22.280 I think, or for commercial activity. You know, people use 1:18:22.360 --> 1:18:25.519 for industrial purposes where you have sometimes very noxious chemicals 1:18:25.600 --> 1:18:29.840 and things that can have gases that are you know, 1:18:30.160 --> 1:18:33.439 a big concern for health reasons. They can change the 1:18:34.880 --> 1:18:39.519 they can change the designation, just change the regulation around this, 1:18:39.680 --> 1:18:42.280 and then you'd have millions more masks immediately that would 1:18:42.280 --> 1:18:44.720 be able to be used. This is where government, you see, 1:18:44.760 --> 1:18:47.240 government actually gets in the way sometimes. Apparently the masks 1:18:47.280 --> 1:18:49.600 for the industrial use are just as effective as that now. 1:18:49.760 --> 1:18:51.719 I mean, I don't know that that's what I saw today. 1:18:52.600 --> 1:18:55.000 I think it was Kevin McCarthy of the Congress saying that, 1:18:55.880 --> 1:18:57.439 so there are things that need to be done here, 1:18:57.520 --> 1:19:00.200 but we also need a secure border and we also 1:19:00.280 --> 1:19:03.599 need travel bands. Isn't it so interesting that the Trump 1:19:03.640 --> 1:19:07.439 administration came in and established the right and it went 1:19:07.479 --> 1:19:09.479 all the way to the Supreme Court, established the right 1:19:09.880 --> 1:19:13.679 to be able to for a national security emergency banned 1:19:13.760 --> 1:19:17.040 different countries from entering the United States. That the left 1:19:17.160 --> 1:19:20.760 fought this tooth and nail. There were protests, people were 1:19:20.760 --> 1:19:23.560 showing up, protesting in airports that we were told this 1:19:23.760 --> 1:19:28.400 was an evil policy, a racist policy. And now if 1:19:28.479 --> 1:19:30.960 you're looking at what we have done right so far 1:19:31.200 --> 1:19:35.120 in this country to deal with the outbreak of Wahana virus, 1:19:35.200 --> 1:19:39.120 it has been the single most important decision probably that 1:19:39.200 --> 1:19:42.479 Trump has made of all decisions so far using that 1:19:42.600 --> 1:19:45.479 authority that if the left had had its way, the 1:19:45.520 --> 1:19:48.280 president would not have even had And just the entire 1:19:48.360 --> 1:19:51.280 focus on our border and having a more secure border 1:19:51.439 --> 1:19:57.800 is clearly something that you know, the left doesn't want. 1:19:57.840 --> 1:20:00.760 And now we see this and understand that it is 1:20:00.920 --> 1:20:04.760 important for not just immigration is not just an issue 1:20:04.800 --> 1:20:07.759 but economics, it's not just a cultural and political issue. 1:20:08.280 --> 1:20:11.639 Immigration is also in that it is a true national 1:20:11.720 --> 1:20:14.120 security issue because and this is really with the conversation 1:20:14.960 --> 1:20:18.000 with David before started to get into that this is 1:20:18.040 --> 1:20:20.759 not an economic issue. We're not in a financial crisis. 1:20:21.640 --> 1:20:26.880 We are in a disease pandemic right. We are really 1:20:27.040 --> 1:20:31.400 under attack. We are facing an invasion by a pathogen. 1:20:32.280 --> 1:20:35.160 And this is where federal government response has to be 1:20:35.520 --> 1:20:40.160 robust and where you see the authority that we give 1:20:40.280 --> 1:20:43.639 to the government to protect us needs to be used properly. 1:20:44.800 --> 1:20:48.759 But part of that is establishing control over our borders, 1:20:48.800 --> 1:20:52.080 who comes and who goes. There are real national security 1:20:52.200 --> 1:20:56.439 implications that immigration touches on. That's not just a talking 1:20:56.520 --> 1:21:00.400 point that Republicans throw out there. And I do think 1:21:00.439 --> 1:21:03.719 it's noteworthy that the travel band authority of the President 1:21:03.760 --> 1:21:06.040 had to go all over the Supreme Court to assert 1:21:06.080 --> 1:21:09.200 that travel band authority was something that was challenged very 1:21:09.280 --> 1:21:11.640 much by the left and that they were against him 1:21:11.680 --> 1:21:13.439 on this. And it may be the one thing if 1:21:13.479 --> 1:21:17.200 we get out of this without having a catastrophic surge 1:21:17.400 --> 1:21:20.320 in cases, people are going to look back at the 1:21:20.400 --> 1:21:24.680 decision to limit those flights and say, Wow, that might 1:21:24.760 --> 1:21:29.800 have saved a lot of lives. You're in the freedom hunt. 1:21:30.240 --> 1:21:36.920 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Just over a 1:21:37.000 --> 1:21:40.920 week ago, many of the punditsks declared that this candidacy 1:21:41.040 --> 1:21:44.120 was dead. Now we're very much alive. If we're various 1:21:44.160 --> 1:21:51.439 high together, we're regenerating a democratic based It's more than 1:21:51.520 --> 1:21:55.120 a comeback to my view our campaign. So come back 1:21:55.439 --> 1:21:57.439 to the soul of the station. There's a place in 1:21:57.520 --> 1:22:00.720 our campaign for each of you. And I want to 1:22:00.800 --> 1:22:04.840 thank Bernie Sanders and a supporters for their tireless energy 1:22:05.200 --> 1:22:09.360 and their passion. We share a common goal and together 1:22:09.800 --> 1:22:16.960 we'll defeat Donald Trump. We'll defeat them together, we'll see. Well. 1:22:16.960 --> 1:22:19.160 I was talking before about how this is Trump in 1:22:19.280 --> 1:22:23.040 wartime presidency moote, and that is definitely what's going on. 1:22:24.200 --> 1:22:28.680 But you also have to understand that this is effectively 1:22:28.760 --> 1:22:33.400 the election. I believe the election, for all intents and purposes, 1:22:33.439 --> 1:22:37.000 will be determined. What will be decided in the minds 1:22:37.040 --> 1:22:39.479 of the American people in the next sixty days. This 1:22:39.720 --> 1:22:43.519 is it now. What's much If you told me right 1:22:43.600 --> 1:22:47.479 now that we could have zero casualties from this and 1:22:49.400 --> 1:22:51.920 there would be a Biden presidency, guess what I'd say. 1:22:52.640 --> 1:22:55.439 We got a President Biden coming in the single most 1:22:55.479 --> 1:22:57.880 important thing here, no question is that this is dealt 1:22:57.920 --> 1:23:00.280 with properly by the government. Now. Of course, if Trump 1:23:00.320 --> 1:23:03.640 administration were now, we already have casualties. I know that, 1:23:03.680 --> 1:23:06.000 but I'm saying theoretically, the most important thing. I'm just 1:23:06.040 --> 1:23:08.760 trying to focus on what matters. The most important thing 1:23:08.880 --> 1:23:14.800 is that we have a strong government and collective and 1:23:14.880 --> 1:23:18.240 individual response to this. This is really on everybody, you know. 1:23:18.400 --> 1:23:21.160 I really hope that people that have a bad cough 1:23:21.280 --> 1:23:24.320 and they have the symptoms don't get on the subway, like, 1:23:24.520 --> 1:23:27.400 don't do these This is all very important. Don't do 1:23:27.479 --> 1:23:29.920 the things you're told not to do, you know, protect 1:23:29.960 --> 1:23:33.519 the people around you, stay home. I think it's a 1:23:33.680 --> 1:23:38.200 fourteen day quarantine is what they're recommending for people. So, 1:23:38.840 --> 1:23:42.440 you know, there are very real reasons here for optimism, 1:23:42.520 --> 1:23:46.559 but there's also reasons to be on high alert about 1:23:46.600 --> 1:23:49.280 what the future is going to hold here. But the 1:23:49.560 --> 1:23:53.639 political implications of this are quite clear, meaning that we're 1:23:53.680 --> 1:23:55.360 going to be able to assess how this was done, 1:23:55.400 --> 1:23:58.600 how well this was done. And you know, I just 1:23:58.840 --> 1:24:01.680 wish that they Democrats and the left that are using 1:24:01.760 --> 1:24:04.760 this as a weapon to attack Trump all the time, 1:24:05.600 --> 1:24:07.680 it would trust in the American people's judgment. If this 1:24:07.800 --> 1:24:10.840 thing is a catastrophe and the Trump administration is held 1:24:10.880 --> 1:24:13.640 to account for it. They'll be held to account in 1:24:13.680 --> 1:24:15.519 the fall as well. I mean, this is something that 1:24:15.600 --> 1:24:17.720 no one's going to forget. And I think that this 1:24:17.960 --> 1:24:22.720 is where we see how capable Trump really is. He's 1:24:22.720 --> 1:24:25.080 being tested every now he says, Oh, administrations are tested 1:24:25.120 --> 1:24:28.280 by different things. You know, administrations are tested. This is 1:24:28.360 --> 1:24:31.000 Trump's test right now. I think he is up to it. 1:24:32.560 --> 1:24:34.080 The other side of this is that they keep telling 1:24:34.200 --> 1:24:36.040 us that Biden is up to it, and to that 1:24:36.320 --> 1:24:41.520 I just I have I have questions. I have questions. 1:24:41.600 --> 1:24:47.920 Here is Biden's spokesperson, Kate Bettingfield on why is it? 1:24:47.960 --> 1:24:50.160 Why is it that Joe Biden drifts off and sounds 1:24:50.240 --> 1:24:52.439 like he's on a Seriously, it sounds like he's in 1:24:52.520 --> 1:24:55.040 some other universe sometimes. Here's what she said, play fourteen. 1:24:55.520 --> 1:24:58.200 Is Joe Biden fit to be commander in chief? How 1:24:58.200 --> 1:24:59.880 do you answer that? You know, I have to say, 1:25:00.160 --> 1:25:03.560 this is a disgusting smear tactic, and this kind of 1:25:03.680 --> 1:25:06.920 thing is exactly why people want Joe Biden to be president. 1:25:07.200 --> 1:25:12.599 This kind of false, you know, misleading basically conspiracy theory 1:25:13.080 --> 1:25:17.479 that you know, let's talk about hang on, how is 1:25:17.479 --> 1:25:20.519 it a smear tactic to ask you about a video 1:25:21.160 --> 1:25:23.880 where the vice president, in his own words, struggles to 1:25:23.960 --> 1:25:26.840 complete a sentence? How is that a smear tactic? And respectfully, 1:25:26.880 --> 1:25:28.840 how many times have you struggled to complete a sentence? 1:25:29.560 --> 1:25:34.439 That's ridiculous? Of course, let's roll, let's roll the tape. Well, 1:25:34.560 --> 1:25:38.400 going after the host? Huh No, I've I've watched a 1:25:38.439 --> 1:25:40.479 lot of it at Henry actually, and I've never looked 1:25:40.520 --> 1:25:42.760 at at Henry in a moment where he knows he's 1:25:42.800 --> 1:25:46.519 being televised, where he knows. I've looked at many, many, 1:25:46.560 --> 1:25:49.000 many hosts on TV, and never have I thought, Wow, 1:25:49.160 --> 1:25:52.400 is that person? Does that person have failing mental faculties? 1:25:54.160 --> 1:25:56.639 And I do think that you can say with Joe Biden, 1:25:56.760 --> 1:26:00.960 sometimes that's a real that is an earnest conclusion you 1:26:01.040 --> 1:26:05.080 could come to, and the health of the commander in 1:26:05.200 --> 1:26:07.920 chief is a real consideration. We know they've been talking 1:26:07.920 --> 1:26:10.280 about this with Trump all along. They've they've been going 1:26:10.400 --> 1:26:15.000 after Trump members of the press for being overweight. They 1:26:15.040 --> 1:26:18.240 say that's a problem, you know, Oh, of course, mostly 1:26:18.280 --> 1:26:21.479 so they can just mock him because they absolutely despise him. 1:26:22.200 --> 1:26:24.679 But they say that his weight itself is a problem 1:26:24.720 --> 1:26:28.599 because it indicates that he could have other sudden health problems. 1:26:28.600 --> 1:26:30.000 He could have a heart attack, or could have any 1:26:30.080 --> 1:26:35.000 number of these different things that happen. Look, I don't 1:26:35.040 --> 1:26:38.120 think that Joe Biden is more competent than Donald Trump 1:26:38.160 --> 1:26:40.200 in a crisis. And that's really what this is going 1:26:40.280 --> 1:26:41.760 to come down to. That's going to be a key 1:26:41.920 --> 1:26:45.200 question that's asked here. I don't think there's any reason 1:26:45.280 --> 1:26:50.680 to believe that's the case. But I also want more 1:26:50.760 --> 1:26:53.519 than anything this to pass and for us to get 1:26:53.520 --> 1:26:55.160 the other side of this, and I do think, by 1:26:55.200 --> 1:26:57.559 the way, well we're going to get there. I know today, Look, 1:26:57.560 --> 1:26:59.160 today has been a little bit of a gloomy day 1:26:59.160 --> 1:27:02.160 an American for the world, folks, And we're in a 1:27:02.280 --> 1:27:04.240 rough spot right now. There's no question about it. The 1:27:04.320 --> 1:27:07.479 economy is absolutely in free fall, not because we have 1:27:07.520 --> 1:27:09.800 a bad economy, but because people are staying home because 1:27:09.800 --> 1:27:15.200 we're under assault by this disease. But you know, and 1:27:15.560 --> 1:27:18.120 I also think back to at the end of last year, 1:27:18.800 --> 1:27:21.760 and I'll tell you this, I sat down with my 1:27:21.960 --> 1:27:23.320 with my mom, and I remember it for the first 1:27:23.360 --> 1:27:26.439 time a really long time, I just was able to say, 1:27:27.360 --> 1:27:29.559 you know, things are really good. You know, things are 1:27:29.640 --> 1:27:32.120 really good in my life. I was happy and things 1:27:32.160 --> 1:27:34.880 were going well, and you know, the show is doing 1:27:34.960 --> 1:27:37.400 really well, and I get the hangout producer Mark every day. 1:27:37.680 --> 1:27:40.320 You know, things were just good in life. And I 1:27:40.400 --> 1:27:42.120 remember I said it, not because I thought it was 1:27:42.160 --> 1:27:43.759 going to continue, it because I knew that I wouldn't. 1:27:43.760 --> 1:27:46.360 I knew that there would be challenges. I knew there 1:27:46.360 --> 1:27:48.200 were the things in the horizon, and not just for me. 1:27:48.360 --> 1:27:51.479 But what was the next big challenge? You know, We've 1:27:51.479 --> 1:27:53.680 had nine to eleven, We've had the financial crisis. We 1:27:53.760 --> 1:27:56.639 were due for something, and I never liked to think 1:27:56.680 --> 1:27:58.559 that way, but I knew it was. It was there, 1:27:59.439 --> 1:28:02.200 and that's we are right now. We are in the 1:28:02.280 --> 1:28:06.840 midst of our once in a decade major challenge as 1:28:06.880 --> 1:28:09.760 a country, as a nation, as a people, and I 1:28:09.920 --> 1:28:12.559 am still very confident in our ability. I mean, if 1:28:12.600 --> 1:28:14.479 I had more money to invest in the stock market, 1:28:14.520 --> 1:28:16.479 I mean, I've already invested a lot, and I've invested 1:28:16.520 --> 1:28:18.120 and I've lost a lot of money in the last month, 1:28:18.600 --> 1:28:20.200 and I'm gonna keep it, you know, But now I 1:28:20.200 --> 1:28:22.519 shouldn't say I have lost money. I've invested. I believe 1:28:22.560 --> 1:28:25.080 it those investments will be made whole in time as 1:28:25.120 --> 1:28:27.639 the economy recovers. But you know what, even if it doesn't, 1:28:28.960 --> 1:28:31.759 I vote in favor of America. I vote to support America. 1:28:31.800 --> 1:28:33.600 I want to keep businesses stocks up. I want to 1:28:33.600 --> 1:28:35.000 do what I can, you know, what little I can 1:28:35.520 --> 1:28:37.280 to show that I have faith in this place, because 1:28:37.320 --> 1:28:39.559 I do. We have been through worse, we have been 1:28:39.640 --> 1:28:41.840 through more. We're going to get through this one too. 1:28:42.840 --> 1:28:45.479 So today is a day we can all, you know, 1:28:45.720 --> 1:28:47.439 let it out a little bit, you know, shake it 1:28:47.479 --> 1:28:50.880 off a little bit. For sure, there's there's a understandable 1:28:52.000 --> 1:28:54.400 unease that I'm sure many of you feel. I know 1:28:54.439 --> 1:28:56.080 that I felt in the last twenty four hours more 1:28:56.120 --> 1:28:58.320 than I have so far. But I also think we'll 1:28:58.320 --> 1:28:59.680 wake up tomorrow. I'll be a new day and we'll 1:28:59.680 --> 1:29:02.280 feel like, all right, it's not over, but we're in 1:29:02.360 --> 1:29:04.880 the fight and we're gonna win the fight.

I want 1:29:42.560 --> 1:29:44.720 to hear from all of you, and I did. This 1:29:44.920 --> 1:29:47.639 is not just me talking, this is true. I talked 1:29:47.640 --> 1:29:49.559 to Prison Market this yesterday. We're trying to find out 1:29:49.600 --> 1:29:52.439 although right now we got bigger concerns obviously, but we 1:29:52.560 --> 1:29:55.599 are trying to get to a place where we can 1:29:56.040 --> 1:29:58.960 take your phone calls as voicemails so that we can 1:29:59.040 --> 1:30:00.760 play them on the air and you can hear from 1:30:00.800 --> 1:30:02.200 all of you. Want to hear some of your voices. 1:30:02.680 --> 1:30:05.120 So we're working on that. You know, it's not going 1:30:05.200 --> 1:30:08.120 to be right away, because like I said, we've got 1:30:08.240 --> 1:30:10.479 some contingency planning going on here to keep their Freedom 1:30:10.600 --> 1:30:13.280 Hunt firing no matter what. Right, but we'll get this. 1:30:13.360 --> 1:30:14.800 We'll get this going to So we have to figure 1:30:14.840 --> 1:30:16.240 out how to stay on the air in case we 1:30:16.320 --> 1:30:19.160 have to stay home. So yeah, I mean, the big 1:30:19.200 --> 1:30:21.439 concern for us is if they shut down the subway 1:30:21.520 --> 1:30:23.639 here in New York because they just realized that it's 1:30:23.680 --> 1:30:26.680 the single worst transmission node in the whole city, which 1:30:27.000 --> 1:30:29.760 I mean probably is. I spend a lot of time 1:30:29.800 --> 1:30:33.280 on that subway that we can't get to work, and 1:30:33.360 --> 1:30:35.120 so that's why we have to set up the contingency plans. 1:30:35.200 --> 1:30:38.080 But anyway, we thought about this, we are going to 1:30:38.120 --> 1:30:40.040 make moves on it, and we got we got to 1:30:40.080 --> 1:30:44.600 kind of see what's going on from there. That's my 1:30:44.760 --> 1:30:46.439 way of saying, you know, team cheer me up, send 1:30:46.479 --> 1:30:47.960 me let's get a lot of messages. I want to 1:30:48.000 --> 1:30:50.360 hear from a lot of you this the next few weeks. Okay, 1:30:50.640 --> 1:30:52.760 especially a lot of first timers were having written in before. 1:30:53.000 --> 1:30:55.080 It's very easy. You're just on Facebook, I'm sure on 1:30:55.080 --> 1:30:59.080 Facebook sometimes Facebook dot Com, slashbuck Sexton, also on Instagram. 1:30:59.160 --> 1:31:00.960 I'm on Instagram. You can send you can send me 1:31:01.000 --> 1:31:04.200 messages on Instagram if you want Buck Sexton on Instagram. 1:31:04.360 --> 1:31:06.560 It's an easy way to do it. And if you 1:31:06.600 --> 1:31:08.240 want to email, if you'd like to kick it a 1:31:08.280 --> 1:31:12.000 little more old school, it's very easy. Team buck at iHeartMedia, 1:31:12.040 --> 1:31:13.880 the company will work for it's a huge company. I 1:31:13.960 --> 1:31:16.080 heard Media dot com. What's up. I'd like to stress 1:31:16.640 --> 1:31:20.120 shorten your messages people. I get some really long messages 1:31:20.160 --> 1:31:21.640 and I can't put them on the air because I 1:31:21.680 --> 1:31:25.000 can't can't have Buck reading for five minutes per message. Yeah, 1:31:25.080 --> 1:31:27.200 I mean it's Jay. Look. Also, I'll say this if 1:31:27.360 --> 1:31:29.760 we read everything that comes in, if you want it 1:31:29.800 --> 1:31:31.120 to have if you want us to be able to 1:31:31.200 --> 1:31:34.880 put it on air, it's got to be like three 1:31:35.000 --> 1:31:37.320 hundred words, four hundred words or less. I mean two 1:31:37.400 --> 1:31:40.640 paragraphs max. Two paragraphs is really One paragraph is a 1:31:40.680 --> 1:31:43.600 sweet spot. Two paragraphs is fine. Beyond that, we're not 1:31:43.640 --> 1:31:44.719 gonna be able to read it on the air because 1:31:44.720 --> 1:31:46.639 it's too long. We've got too many messages to get too. 1:31:46.720 --> 1:31:51.040 So I would say, you know, the the optimal message is, 1:31:52.479 --> 1:31:57.280 you know, a hundred words, maybe fifty fifty or one 1:31:57.360 --> 1:31:59.559 line that's like bucket, Mark, you are awesome. You keep 1:31:59.600 --> 1:32:00.960 me safe in the warm at night. I think of 1:32:01.000 --> 1:32:02.960 it like if you're calling into the show when we 1:32:03.040 --> 1:32:06.000 took calls. Yeah, a sentence or two that's really good, 1:32:06.040 --> 1:32:08.360 your best stuff. Yeah, I think that's I think that's fair, 1:32:08.520 --> 1:32:10.479 all right, producer. Otherwise you're gonna be in the penalty 1:32:10.479 --> 1:32:16.800 box of the producer Mark. Uh. Let's see chance, producer, Mark. 1:32:16.880 --> 1:32:19.759 Does a supposed woman who had buck watched Dirty Dancing 1:32:19.920 --> 1:32:22.960 exist or does she exist in the same way Adam 1:32:23.000 --> 1:32:25.840 Shift's whistleblower In name only and just for the purpose 1:32:25.840 --> 1:32:27.120 of the story, I will say you know who met 1:32:27.160 --> 1:32:30.439 her actually was producer Jeff on the w R show. 1:32:30.640 --> 1:32:32.519 Huh she came back. She wanted to meet the famous 1:32:32.600 --> 1:32:35.960 producer Mark, but um, producer Mark was not here because 1:32:36.000 --> 1:32:38.120 he has a wife and a life yes um, and 1:32:38.360 --> 1:32:41.360 finishes the show earlier. So yeah, so yeah she so 1:32:41.439 --> 1:32:44.759 producer Jeff. Who Producer Jeff knows that she exists. Producer 1:32:44.800 --> 1:32:46.680 Jeff knows that there is a lady that exists to 1:32:47.040 --> 1:32:49.639 who the who the buck is dating? Um, so that's 1:32:49.640 --> 1:32:52.479 a thing. So yeah, well the right somebody has seen her. 1:32:53.040 --> 1:32:55.960 Um yeah, no, I mean I'm glad that otherwise I'd 1:32:56.000 --> 1:32:58.120 just be sitting here, like I promise she exists. She's 1:32:58.160 --> 1:33:02.080 totally real. Have a doll in your apartment that you 1:33:02.160 --> 1:33:05.000 make cookies with a you know, I'm gonna tell you this, man. 1:33:05.040 --> 1:33:06.960 I was thinking about this. I almost like a week 1:33:07.080 --> 1:33:10.479 or two ago. I've ramped up as much as I 1:33:10.560 --> 1:33:13.400 can my reading lately. Not that I read all day 1:33:13.439 --> 1:33:17.200 for work to do the show, but my not work reading, 1:33:17.600 --> 1:33:19.519 you know, my reading just books that I want to 1:33:19.560 --> 1:33:22.320 read for fun. And I was thinking, as I could 1:33:22.360 --> 1:33:24.640 do that, or I could get a PlayStation four. I 1:33:24.840 --> 1:33:27.479 was so close, I mean to get Foot Sheep right 1:33:27.520 --> 1:33:30.120 now too. Yeah five's coming out sooner. Yeah, I was 1:33:30.320 --> 1:33:33.519 so close to getting a PS four, which I gotta 1:33:33.560 --> 1:33:38.040 tell you, given the whole social distancing, self quarantining situation 1:33:38.160 --> 1:33:41.720 that's playing out all over the world, placed I don't know, 1:33:41.840 --> 1:33:43.840 Emazon still delivers, right, I might have to get a 1:33:43.880 --> 1:33:47.439 PlayStation if I can't go out of my apartment for 1:33:47.479 --> 1:33:49.720 a while. That's really gonna be helpful. Best thing is 1:33:49.840 --> 1:33:52.120 nowadays you don't even need to leave the house to 1:33:52.200 --> 1:33:55.519 get new games. You can just download them, right, Yeah, 1:33:56.000 --> 1:33:58.120 I don't even bother going to the store anymore. Looks 1:33:58.200 --> 1:34:00.840 as long as as long long as the food is 1:34:00.880 --> 1:34:03.240 still on the shelves, and as long as we've got 1:34:03.280 --> 1:34:08.200 electricity and internet, you know, we can get through some 1:34:08.400 --> 1:34:11.639 pretty widespread social distancing and self containment. For it could 1:34:11.680 --> 1:34:14.240 be a storm or something. You could have no power, no, 1:34:14.920 --> 1:34:17.599 no anything. So it's actually better. Yeah, I mean that's 1:34:17.680 --> 1:34:20.040 that's yeah, being without power. I will say that that day, 1:34:20.080 --> 1:34:21.479 I know they got the power and really quickly, but 1:34:21.560 --> 1:34:23.639 that day after Hurricane Sandy, when I was walking around 1:34:23.680 --> 1:34:26.080 and all these people didn't have power, it was it's 1:34:26.120 --> 1:34:29.800 a real shock. It's or not a shock as the case, maybe, 1:34:29.840 --> 1:34:31.320 but you know what I mean, it's it's it's really 1:34:31.400 --> 1:34:34.960 something that surprises you when you go to plug in 1:34:35.040 --> 1:34:36.800 your phone into the wall socket and you're really, oh, 1:34:36.840 --> 1:34:38.280 that's right, I'm in the dark, and this is the 1:34:38.320 --> 1:34:40.080 way it's going to be. So and you were lucky 1:34:40.120 --> 1:34:41.680 that it was only a little bit of time. Yeah, 1:34:41.720 --> 1:34:43.600 that was that was that was short. But yeah, no, 1:34:43.720 --> 1:34:45.360 so Producer Mark is gonna have to take my word 1:34:45.400 --> 1:34:47.040 for it for now. But we will bring the mystery. 1:34:47.160 --> 1:34:49.360 We'll bring the mystery lady by at some point during 1:34:49.360 --> 1:34:51.800 the day. The promise she has a job, so she's 1:34:51.840 --> 1:34:54.599 here during the day. She wouldn't get an unemployed girlfriend. 1:34:54.760 --> 1:34:59.200 Not yet, No, nope, all right, so we'll see, well, 1:34:59.240 --> 1:35:00.880 and we may have more we may have more information. 1:35:00.920 --> 1:35:03.120 I'm gonna dole out that information slowly. We're gonna hold 1:35:03.120 --> 1:35:08.160 back in any details about about Buck's love life. Yeah, 1:35:08.200 --> 1:35:10.880 he doesn't even know anything yet until until like the 1:35:10.960 --> 1:35:14.040 country is out of this. Yeah, that'll be like when 1:35:14.080 --> 1:35:16.840 it's springtime and we're all feeling better and we're past 1:35:16.960 --> 1:35:20.040 this scariness of this disease. That's when you know, Yeah, 1:35:20.720 --> 1:35:22.360 that's when I think I'll tell you guys the stories 1:35:23.360 --> 1:35:25.479 Bonnie and Rights. Hey, Buck, love your show, keep up 1:35:25.520 --> 1:35:27.160 the good work. Just wanted to say something here. In 1:35:27.200 --> 1:35:31.720 a crisis, you don't change leadership, right, FDR serve sixteen years. 1:35:31.880 --> 1:35:34.320 He's the only president who served two eight year terms 1:35:34.360 --> 1:35:38.960 back and back. So hopefully this will stand for the 1:35:39.200 --> 1:35:43.519 twenty twenty election. If all this virus keeps going on, 1:35:44.000 --> 1:35:48.040 this will be a crisis. If it keeps going on. Um, look, 1:35:48.080 --> 1:35:51.920 they're gonna they're gonna use this. Understand this that they're 1:35:52.040 --> 1:35:57.680 definitely going to um do everything that they can to 1:35:57.920 --> 1:36:00.679 make sure that this is used again and Stnald Trump 1:36:00.720 --> 1:36:05.160 so he does not get to stay as president. Yeah, 1:36:05.800 --> 1:36:07.880 that's they're gonna do everything they can to get him 1:36:07.880 --> 1:36:14.559 out of office. So yeah, yep. FDR served four terms 1:36:15.080 --> 1:36:23.320 as US president. Let's see here, Rusty, hey buck oss here, 1:36:23.320 --> 1:36:25.680 I want to tell you about my experience with cruises. 1:36:26.320 --> 1:36:29.720 Don't knock it until you try it, all right, Rusty, Well, 1:36:29.720 --> 1:36:34.120 I'm glad that you've had good cruise experiences. I was 1:36:34.160 --> 1:36:35.519 out of it, the opposed to going out of First 1:36:35.520 --> 1:36:37.760 Cruise in twenty eighteen, but my lovely wife forced me 1:36:37.840 --> 1:36:40.000 and I've been hooked ever since I'm a bit of 1:36:40.040 --> 1:36:42.639 a germophoe but love cruising and I just practice good 1:36:42.680 --> 1:36:46.360 personal hygiene while on board ps. I'm with producer Mark 1:36:46.840 --> 1:36:49.400 Marvel movies are great, and these movies I can actually 1:36:49.439 --> 1:36:52.800 watch with my young ones shields high. So basically he's 1:36:52.800 --> 1:36:54.599 telling me I'm wrong about everything. That was a great 1:36:54.640 --> 1:36:56.639 email all around. Yeah, I was gonna say, that's apparently 1:36:56.680 --> 1:36:59.000 your favorite email of the day, cruser. Mark is awesome 1:36:59.040 --> 1:37:02.720 and right and are good buck, You're wrong. I mean 1:37:02.760 --> 1:37:05.360 it's to each of their own. But I personally enjoy 1:37:05.439 --> 1:37:07.439 cruises and soda a lot of people. Where'd you go 1:37:07.520 --> 1:37:09.920 in your cruise? Again? I was two years ago, I 1:37:10.040 --> 1:37:12.720 was Bahamas a couple other places I don't remember. How 1:37:12.840 --> 1:37:14.720 long do you dock and spend on the land, that's 1:37:14.720 --> 1:37:17.280 what I'm there. And how do you avoid getting left behind? Well, 1:37:17.560 --> 1:37:20.000 they tell you what time the boat's leaving, and if 1:37:20.040 --> 1:37:22.559 you don't get back like, there's actually people who get 1:37:22.600 --> 1:37:25.000 on the boat early and then go watch over the 1:37:25.120 --> 1:37:29.000 railings to watch the people sprinting down the dock so 1:37:29.120 --> 1:37:31.200 they don't miss the boat. Oh that's that. Actually people 1:37:31.360 --> 1:37:33.559 get close to missing the boat. Yeah, because they're stupid. 1:37:33.560 --> 1:37:35.240 And they don't look, they go get drunk on shore. 1:37:35.439 --> 1:37:37.920 What are the bars and they don't realize it and 1:37:38.520 --> 1:37:40.240 didn't realize my time. I'm guessing they don't sound like 1:37:40.280 --> 1:37:42.200 a little special helicopter for you like that kind of 1:37:42.680 --> 1:37:44.439 you have to make your own way. Do you have 1:37:44.520 --> 1:37:46.880 to go meet the boat? Yeah? Right, yeah, yeah, that's 1:37:46.880 --> 1:37:50.679 what I figured. Wow, Okay, that's a thing that happened. 1:37:50.720 --> 1:37:53.720 But how many hours are usually you go into I mean, 1:37:53.800 --> 1:37:57.320 the day one we ended up skipping a stop, so 1:37:57.520 --> 1:38:00.639 we were in Nassau, Bahamas for two days, But usually 1:38:00.720 --> 1:38:03.280 it's like eight to ten hours. You know. I actually 1:38:03.400 --> 1:38:05.960 hear the cruise ships that dock in New York from 1:38:06.040 --> 1:38:08.679 my apartment. I can hear the horns and stuff. That's 1:38:08.760 --> 1:38:11.000 where we went out of New York. Oh yeah, from 1:38:11.200 --> 1:38:14.120 Norwegian Cruise. There are cruise ships there. Yeah. Look, you know, 1:38:14.280 --> 1:38:16.000 I feel bad for the cruise industry because I think 1:38:16.000 --> 1:38:18.200 it's I'm sure there's you know, tons of great people 1:38:18.240 --> 1:38:20.479 that work in it and and they've given a lot 1:38:20.520 --> 1:38:21.920 of people a lot of joy over the years and 1:38:21.920 --> 1:38:24.680 everything else, and I mean they're just no one's going 1:38:24.680 --> 1:38:26.360 on cruises right now, oh yeah, right now. It would 1:38:26.400 --> 1:38:28.080 never go on a cruise. No, but but also think 1:38:28.120 --> 1:38:32.000 of I mean the economic damage. Yeah, I had one 1:38:32.040 --> 1:38:37.240 book for December. I'm hoping, hoping that still happens. Yeah, yeah, 1:38:37.400 --> 1:38:39.400 I've already got something on the books for end of 1:38:39.520 --> 1:38:44.000 this year. But it's not a cruise. But I'm hoping. 1:38:44.040 --> 1:38:45.800 Although I did look at airline tickets I was wondering. 1:38:45.840 --> 1:38:48.400 I was like, the airlines are having tickets are super expensive. Still, 1:38:48.760 --> 1:38:50.840 oh really, I've seen some deals. Well there are now 1:38:50.920 --> 1:38:53.000 depending where. But this was in for December. They're not 1:38:53.040 --> 1:38:55.200 going to give you a deal now for December. They're figuring. 1:38:55.280 --> 1:38:57.400 You know, they're using the algorithms. You only get a 1:38:57.439 --> 1:38:59.000 deal if you're get a plan. Get on a plane 1:38:59.120 --> 1:39:03.280 right now. Sure, different deal, Wayne hey Buck. This morning 1:39:03.360 --> 1:39:05.160 some liberal works in my shop was talking about how 1:39:05.240 --> 1:39:08.120 much Trump stinks. I said, what exactly stinks about Trump 1:39:08.200 --> 1:39:10.760 or what he's done? He said, Mexico isn't paying for 1:39:10.800 --> 1:39:13.120 the wall like he promised. I said, that's it, that's 1:39:13.120 --> 1:39:16.559 all you got, Orange man bad. I laughed, then said, 1:39:16.880 --> 1:39:18.960 you know, Mexico is paying for the wall, and China 1:39:19.080 --> 1:39:22.120 and whomever else. We have tariffs. With tariffs equals tax 1:39:22.200 --> 1:39:25.200 dollars equals military budget equals wall is being built. I 1:39:25.320 --> 1:39:27.639 never saw him turn so red shieldsaye, well, Wayne, you're 1:39:27.760 --> 1:39:30.240 very amusing and obviously good on your feet in a debate. 1:39:31.120 --> 1:39:33.080 Just don't don't make the Libs too angry because they 1:39:33.160 --> 1:39:35.679 can cry or maybe they'll even try to like scratch 1:39:35.720 --> 1:39:38.080 your eyes out or something. So just be careful, don't 1:39:38.120 --> 1:39:40.880 upset the libs too much. Wayne, All right, there are 1:39:40.960 --> 1:39:47.400 limits to the upsetting of the libs. Gina. Hi again, 1:39:47.479 --> 1:39:49.920 Buck heard. He's saying people were complaining about your stance 1:39:50.000 --> 1:39:53.839 on some of James O'Keefe's recent undercovers. I completely agree. 1:39:54.400 --> 1:39:56.200 I am reminded of one year or so ago where 1:39:56.240 --> 1:39:58.600 he actually planted false info to get the scoop the 1:39:58.640 --> 1:40:02.400 news agency actually did their research and decline to press forward. Honestly, 1:40:02.439 --> 1:40:04.439 it degraded some of his subsequent pieces. In my mind, 1:40:04.479 --> 1:40:06.320 it took a minute to get back on board. We 1:40:06.439 --> 1:40:08.680 need people like James, but these stories he needs to 1:40:09.160 --> 1:40:12.360 break need to be earth shattering revelations, not mediocre. Yeah, 1:40:12.439 --> 1:40:15.360 we know, tell us something new Shields high. Yeah, Gina, 1:40:15.400 --> 1:40:16.880 that's what I mean. I mean, you know, I can 1:40:16.960 --> 1:40:18.519 get any number of people who work for you know, 1:40:18.720 --> 1:40:21.000 I could maybe not me because they know I am now. 1:40:21.080 --> 1:40:24.200 But you go ask anybody at CNN if you're approached 1:40:24.240 --> 1:40:25.800 them in a social setting and get them a little 1:40:25.880 --> 1:40:26.880 drunk and be like, you know, what do you think 1:40:26.880 --> 1:40:28.360 what's going on over there? I'll be like, yeah, you know, 1:40:28.439 --> 1:40:30.920 we're not fair to Trump, but we don't. A lot 1:40:30.960 --> 1:40:32.840 of them would probably say that, you know, if they're 1:40:32.880 --> 1:40:35.000 lower level people. I mean the anchors wouldn't because they 1:40:35.040 --> 1:40:36.840 know that they've got to be all careful, right, But 1:40:37.000 --> 1:40:39.519 lower level people would say that you want to get 1:40:39.560 --> 1:40:41.960 them fired? What do you think that's gonna do? What's 1:40:42.000 --> 1:40:44.519 the point We already know what's going on over there. 1:40:44.520 --> 1:40:47.479 There's there's not there's a revelation. So I understand people 1:40:47.520 --> 1:40:49.400 really want to think that. Like James O'Keefe is always 1:40:49.439 --> 1:40:51.519 sticking at the lips, and sometimes he does, but sometimes 1:40:51.560 --> 1:40:54.400 he's wrong or reovershoots or remisses, just like all the 1:40:54.439 --> 1:40:57.640 rest of us. So Colin balls and strikes folks. What 1:40:57.760 --> 1:41:02.120 we do here in the hud You're in the freedom Hunt. 1:41:02.560 --> 1:41:10.559 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. James' great name. 1:41:11.360 --> 1:41:13.880 Chuck Schumer is an activist using his Senate seat to 1:41:14.080 --> 1:41:17.360 be an activist. Schumer does not care what he's what 1:41:17.520 --> 1:41:20.040 he says. He's using the virus and calling President Trump 1:41:20.080 --> 1:41:22.719 and competent to put fear in America and the American people. 1:41:23.280 --> 1:41:26.240 Chuck Schumer is a fearmonger and attacking President Trump because 1:41:26.280 --> 1:41:28.880 he has hate towards conservatives and Trump. She'll tie from 1:41:29.120 --> 1:41:33.600 w G y Up in Albany. Well, James, thanks for 1:41:33.680 --> 1:41:38.040 writing him, And Yeah, I think Chuck Schumer is being 1:41:38.160 --> 1:41:41.760 really really gross about this whole virus situation. I do 1:41:41.880 --> 1:41:43.519 not think he's being helpful. I do not think he's 1:41:43.560 --> 1:41:46.679 being honest. And I think that you're seeing the character 1:41:46.880 --> 1:41:48.400 of some of these leaders in a way that we 1:41:48.439 --> 1:41:51.080 should all be very mindful of. We should we should remember, 1:41:51.840 --> 1:41:53.519 we should know that this is what this is what 1:41:53.600 --> 1:41:59.000 we're dealing with. Here we go Chopper. Every time I 1:41:59.040 --> 1:42:01.960 see that, I think, get to a chopper that's a 1:42:02.000 --> 1:42:04.400 different kind of chopper, though, Buck, it won't do any 1:42:04.439 --> 1:42:07.240 good now. But Charman is sold out. Oh, because Charman 1:42:07.360 --> 1:42:09.880 is sold out. But once supply is restored, give this 1:42:10.040 --> 1:42:13.880 Charman forever. Ago. Each role lasts roughly six weeks, and 1:42:13.960 --> 1:42:16.599 it's wonderful to virtually never run out. Wow, I'm getting 1:42:16.720 --> 1:42:20.400 TP recommendations now from the audience producer. There were a 1:42:20.439 --> 1:42:26.360 lot of them. Some suggested a day is oh man, 1:42:27.000 --> 1:42:28.760 but I can never do the forever role. I don't 1:42:28.760 --> 1:42:30.559 think I have room in the bathroom for that. Yeah, 1:42:30.600 --> 1:42:32.559 it's a big role. It's gonna be a big, huge role. Yeah, 1:42:32.560 --> 1:42:35.599 I have to give you a special holder for it. Yeah, 1:42:36.120 --> 1:42:38.360 I don't know so much. Yeah it's too much. I'm 1:42:38.400 --> 1:42:40.160 okay with just switching. Then it would stop me and 1:42:40.200 --> 1:42:41.920 my wife arguing about who should change the will. I 1:42:41.960 --> 1:42:43.439 was gonna, you know what, I know what I do though, 1:42:43.600 --> 1:42:45.439 So I've got the toilet paper holder, and then I 1:42:45.560 --> 1:42:48.599 always keep the extra on top of the actual toilet, 1:42:48.760 --> 1:42:51.280 like you know where they and I just use the 1:42:51.360 --> 1:42:53.040 extra all the time so that if anyone comes over, 1:42:53.120 --> 1:42:55.240 a guest or anything, we always have a brand new 1:42:55.320 --> 1:42:57.120 role that I never used, that is actually in the 1:42:57.160 --> 1:42:59.120 holder that looks nice, and I just use the one 1:42:59.120 --> 1:43:03.160 that's above the toilet. Yeah, the toilet. And also that 1:43:03.240 --> 1:43:05.040 means that means the nice, pretty one that's never touches 1:43:05.080 --> 1:43:06.760 my emergency in case I don't get you know what 1:43:06.800 --> 1:43:10.599 I mean. Yeah, usually our toilet papers on the sink 1:43:10.760 --> 1:43:12.880 like on the counter because none of us bother to 1:43:13.000 --> 1:43:15.280 change it, like we run out of the one on 1:43:15.360 --> 1:43:16.880 the roll when one of us actually puts it on 1:43:17.439 --> 1:43:19.880 the holder, and then it does remind me of that 1:43:19.960 --> 1:43:23.839 movie The Demolition Man with Wesley Snipes and Sylvester Stallone 1:43:24.240 --> 1:43:26.360 where they talk about the three cshells and you never 1:43:26.439 --> 1:43:28.080 find out how to use them. But that's in place 1:43:28.160 --> 1:43:29.960 of toilet paper, and they think it's so funny that 1:43:30.320 --> 1:43:33.160 salone comes from an era in which they used wads 1:43:33.200 --> 1:43:36.880 of paper for that purpose. And you know, we we 1:43:37.160 --> 1:43:39.680 lived a very advanced society. Now I feel like we 1:43:39.720 --> 1:43:41.439 probably could up our game on this a little bit. 1:43:41.840 --> 1:43:45.240 You know, do you want innovations in toilet paper? Well, 1:43:45.320 --> 1:43:47.599 I mean something better than toilet paper. I mean, wouldn't 1:43:47.600 --> 1:43:50.760 that be what a bidet is? Yeah, but you know 1:43:51.520 --> 1:43:53.320 that's that's a whole other thing. Don't you need to 1:43:53.400 --> 1:43:56.280 towel that afterwards? Like I think so? Actually, some in 1:43:56.400 --> 1:43:58.519 Japan have ones that then warm your buck. This is 1:43:58.560 --> 1:44:01.479 what I mean. Japan has like but cleaning and but 1:44:01.760 --> 1:44:06.240 warming instead of wiping. And you know that's advanced stuff 1:44:06.320 --> 1:44:08.040 that actually creeps me out a little bit because it's 1:44:08.080 --> 1:44:10.320 public toilets they have those in and like, wouldn't I 1:44:10.360 --> 1:44:12.599 get dirty? I don't know, I don't know. We're getting 1:44:12.600 --> 1:44:15.840 We're going We're going deep on this one, Larry A Buck. 1:44:15.960 --> 1:44:18.320 During the early part of your show, I heard AOC 1:44:18.520 --> 1:44:22.000 bleeding about the irreversible nature of climate change, climate change, 1:44:22.000 --> 1:44:24.519 and that we should be paying attention to it, whatever 1:44:24.560 --> 1:44:27.400 that's supposed to mean. I have one simple question for 1:44:27.479 --> 1:44:32.120 AOC and her ilk. If climate change is irreversible, which 1:44:32.160 --> 1:44:34.880 of course it is, why in the world there are 1:44:34.880 --> 1:44:37.519 some people proposing that we throw unspeakable a bounts of money, 1:44:37.920 --> 1:44:40.160 while at the same time devoting unknown numbers of man 1:44:40.280 --> 1:44:42.760 hours to dealing with the worldwide disruptions that some sort 1:44:42.760 --> 1:44:46.559 of port pointless spending will cause economically and otherwise. If 1:44:46.640 --> 1:44:50.280 something is admittedly irreversible, wouldn't it make it a heck 1:44:50.280 --> 1:44:53.080 of a lot more sense to maximize our efforts toward 1:44:53.160 --> 1:44:55.760 preparing for it. It almost makes one think that rather 1:44:55.840 --> 1:44:58.840 than a genuinely imminent crisis, what we're actually dealing with 1:44:59.040 --> 1:45:01.000 is an agenda to grad having hoard as much power 1:45:01.040 --> 1:45:03.800 as possible in an effort to have complete control of 1:45:03.880 --> 1:45:07.400 the unwashed masses. That's just crazy though, right, Shieldsayebuck and 1:45:07.520 --> 1:45:11.160 a producer Mark Producer, Mark says to you too, buddy, Larry, 1:45:11.960 --> 1:45:14.280 and yeah, the climate change stuff is nuts, and shouldn't 1:45:14.280 --> 1:45:16.599 we be just take a moment here. I think it's 1:45:16.680 --> 1:45:19.439 fair that we take a step back and say, Wow, 1:45:20.560 --> 1:45:25.160 maybe the scientific community, instead of allowing for the constant 1:45:25.560 --> 1:45:28.519 browbeating and lectures over climate change, which is not a threat, 1:45:28.520 --> 1:45:31.760 maybe they had more important things to focus on. Maybe 1:45:31.840 --> 1:45:33.960 there were other areas. Now I'm not saying more. You 1:45:34.040 --> 1:45:35.600 can do this to anybody wrote, Oh, how could you 1:45:35.640 --> 1:45:37.479 talk about that when people are starving in some far 1:45:37.520 --> 1:45:40.760 off country. No, no, no, I mean the scientific community. 1:45:41.280 --> 1:45:44.800 We always hear about scientists and climate change. Why have 1:45:44.920 --> 1:45:47.479 we not been hearing in recent years about pandemics and 1:45:47.600 --> 1:45:51.519 pandemic preparedness. That's the real question. That it is a 1:45:51.640 --> 1:45:54.040 real question, at least, Michael hey Buck. I grew up 1:45:54.040 --> 1:45:56.280 in a pretty tough neighborhood, so I know many two 1:45:56.400 --> 1:45:58.360 very tough individuals. They all have one thing in common. 1:45:58.720 --> 1:46:00.559 They don't know how they don't go around saying how 1:46:00.600 --> 1:46:03.200 tough they are constantly challenging people to fight's like Biden does. 1:46:03.720 --> 1:46:06.120 Joe reminds me of the guy that's always running his 1:46:06.200 --> 1:46:07.960 mouth but can't actually back it up. I know a 1:46:08.000 --> 1:46:11.040 few of those guys too. Shields. Ye, yeah, Michael, I 1:46:11.439 --> 1:46:13.439 hear you. You know, and Biden seems to have a 1:46:13.520 --> 1:46:16.240 chip on a shoulder about all this stuff. And then 1:46:16.400 --> 1:46:19.000 Andrew writes buck Eddie Murphy's greatest two movies have to 1:46:19.080 --> 1:46:21.920 be Coming to America and or Trading Places. Are you 1:46:22.000 --> 1:46:25.599 familiar with the tie between those movies? When Hakim meets 1:46:25.640 --> 1:46:27.280 the two homeless guys in the street, he gives them 1:46:27.280 --> 1:46:29.800 a bag in cash. Movies are so much better back 1:46:29.840 --> 1:46:32.519 then classics. Yes, I'm familiar with both those movies as 1:46:32.560 --> 1:46:37.120 well as the tie in. Everybody, please stay calm, stay safe, 1:46:37.160 --> 1:46:40.519 stay sound, hold your loved ones close, Listen to the 1:46:40.560 --> 1:46:42.719 authorities as much as you can about keeping yourself safe 1:46:42.760 --> 1:46:44.960 on this. When we'll get through, we will be together 1:46:45.080 --> 1:46:47.080 on this and we will keep our shields. Hie
