What is Governor Whitmer of Michigan doing about 4 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: nursing homes in the midst of COVID nineteen plus? Can 5 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: the Deep State hang on until twenty twenty one and 6 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: Biden has another Biden is m coming up?

This 9 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show. Thomas CIA analysts Again. I 10 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: can speak to three hours without a phone call. Try 11 00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: doing that sometime. No, welcome everybody, Thank you so much 12 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: for joining me. It was troubling, to say the least, 13 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: last night as the video was circulating all over social 14 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: media of what was going on in Minneapolis. Now, I'm 15 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm so frustrated. Yesterday I was saying, I think this 16 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: is going to start another another movement like we've seen 17 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: in the past in the aftermath of violence involving a 18 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: police officer. This, this case is this is a bad one. 19 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: I mean, this one is not. This is not a 20 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: situation in which I feel like we have to get 21 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: a lot more information before. Now that's different from the 22 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: legal process that the officer involved deserves. You know, even 23 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: a even a mass murderer under our constitution, gets a 24 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: legal process. My friends, Now the officer is not a 25 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: mass murderer. But you understand what I'm saying. Everyone gets 26 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: a a gets their due process, gets a fair process. 27 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: That said, the video is enough that this is a 28 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: wrong that was done. People see this across the country 29 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: and they recognize how terrible it is. They understand that 30 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: this requires justice. The officers have already been fired. The 31 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: mayor of Minneapolis is almost in tears talking about the case. 32 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: It's a gut punch to everybody I know who's watching it. 33 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: I had right wing conservatives in the media texting me 34 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: just to be like, did you see this video? This 35 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: is terrible and instead of viewing this now, look there 36 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: there's going to be this game the media plays of 37 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: pretending that that protests and riots are kind of similar 38 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: or you can't really differentiate. No, a protest is a 39 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: constitutionally protected act, and the right to protest is something 40 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: that we should all respect. Oh, that's right, even when 41 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: there's COVID nineteen, even when the government is telling you 42 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: that they have some other compelling interest to prevent you 43 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: from being able to protest. It is a constitutional right. 44 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: They don't get to just suspend it because they're worried 45 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: about the spread of COVID nineteen. They're not able to 46 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: They're not allowed to do that, although they have been 47 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: doing it, so I mean they shouldn't be able to 48 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: do it, is what I what I mean by this, 49 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: And the protests in Minneapolis would certainly be warranted, although 50 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: there's really no movement against justice for the family here 51 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: of George Floyd. There's no movement of people that are saying, oh, well, 52 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: this was I have not heard a single person claim 53 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: that this video was not terrible and that the officers 54 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: should not be punished to the fullest extent of the law. 55 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: What does looting have to do with any of this? 56 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: You know, why do we have to pretend, for I'm 57 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: raising as a society that people going in to a 58 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: target or going into an auto zone. I mean, I 59 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: was watching these videos circulating last night. This is a 60 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: Minneapolis not not a place that you think of as 61 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: high crime or a place that that has to deal 62 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: with with problems like this. You know, this is appalling 63 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: to watch. You have these stores that are are being 64 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 1: looted and burned to the ground. People are actually burning 65 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: them to the ground. There was one video of a 66 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: guy running around during the looting with a chainsaw. And 67 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: yet you have these social justice advocates and the people 68 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: that make a living from fanning the flames of racial 69 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: division and grievance, who, if not openly advocating for the looting, 70 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: always find a way to make it seem less awful 71 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: or to make it seem less completely unjustifiable by saying, well, 72 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: people are rightly angry about this. You have a right 73 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: to be angry. You don't have a right to burn 74 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: down your own neighborhood. You don't have a right to 75 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: destroy the property of individuals who have absolutely nothing to 76 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: do with these cops and what they did. You know, 77 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: if if you take if you believe injustice and you 78 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: think that individual actions are not are not the foundational 79 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, the central issue that the individual either doing 80 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: or not doing something is not the central issue of 81 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: the justice system. You're opening up the possibility that anyone 82 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: can be punished for anything, that any one of us 83 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: can be a sacrifice to someone else's political anger or concerns, 84 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: or some other injustice, perhaps even a historical injustice. You 85 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: could have your house burned down because of something that 86 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: was done fifty or one hundred or two hundred years ago. 87 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: Unless individual agency, responsibility and moral culpability are the foundation 88 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: of our justice system and also our sense of what 89 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: is right. I cannot be punished for the actions of 90 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: another person's that's wrong. That's immoral, destroying property of people, 91 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: destroying property, burning down businesses all and you know, we 92 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: all we know this, you know this, listening to the 93 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: to me say it. And yet the media doesn't want 94 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: to come down too harshly on these protesters. Don't see 95 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: I just did it. Rioters. You gotta make sure you 96 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: keep these things separate. It's not rioting, is not protesting. 97 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: These are not the same right. Holding up a placard 98 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: is not the same thing as punching someone in the face. 99 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: These are not the same. We don't get to pretend 100 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: they are. So don't let the media get away with it. 101 00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: Because they view particularly racial division as an opportunity to 102 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: push ratings up, to push forward favored narratives. For a 103 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: lot of posturing from multi millionaire news anchors and left 104 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: wing journalists all over the place to act like they 105 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: care so much about oppress minority communities and that they're 106 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: the ones that really want justice in this situation. And 107 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: anybody who's calling out the rioters, let's use the proper terminology. 108 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,119 Speaker 1: No one calls out the protesters, and I can totally 109 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: understand people wanting to protest over what happened to George Floyd. 110 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: Now it's come out that the officer in question who 111 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: had the knee on the neck of Floyd for I've 112 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: seen over nine minutes. The video I watch was five minutes, 113 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: but I've seen it said it was over nine minutes. 114 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: They are multiple complaints against him in the past, so 115 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: the officer may well have been somebody who should have 116 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: been disciplined beforehand. There is going to be huge liability 117 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: for the city of Minneapolis, and I'm willing to bet 118 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: right now that the family of George Floyd is going 119 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: to get a very very large payout in a civil 120 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: suit as result of this. I know that doesn't bring 121 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: them back, but I'm just saying that no one is 122 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,239 Speaker 1: expecting this to go in any direction other than these cops, 123 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: particularly the one cop wit. His knee and his neck 124 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: are in a whole lot of trouble. And this is 125 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: a terrible injustice. So what's with the looted? What are 126 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: the what are the looters think that they are showing? Now? 127 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: The looters are just using this as an excuse. It's 128 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: an excuse. They're angry. They're not particularly angry about this, 129 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: they're just angry in general, and so they want to destroy, 130 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: they want to threaten, they want to ruin, and they're 131 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: looking for some justification, some excuse in their own mind 132 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: for this activity. I mean, it's terrible, especially given what 133 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: the country is going through right now. You're burning down businesses. 134 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: Those businesses are you know, employee people who are hoping 135 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: to come back to work soon. Who knows what that's 136 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: It's just it's awful to see this. And there's this 137 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: video that's making the rounds of a woman coming out 138 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: of a store and she's in a wheelchair and she's 139 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: attacked by a mob of looters and a spray a 140 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: fire extinguisher on her and the people are throwing things 141 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: at her and hitting her. It's an elderly woman in 142 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: a wheelchair. I think that the decision that was made 143 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: to pull back the police in Minneapolis is wrong. I 144 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: think that until we decide that you're going to enforce 145 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,719 Speaker 1: the law when it comes to burning down buildings, stealing 146 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: on mass, I think that we're going to continue to 147 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: see this. You know, law enforcement has a duty here 148 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: and to say, oh, it's too dangerous for my officers. 149 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: You know, so and so. Now is it? If you 150 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,599 Speaker 1: get a mob together, they can break the law and 151 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: cops don't want to have to do anything about it. 152 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: I think about the implications of that. If one person 153 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: does something illegal, the cops will use force, escala force. 154 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: They'll you know, they'll hit you with a with a 155 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: night stick or with a baton. They'll they'll mess you up, man. 156 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean cops. Cops have to use force, have to 157 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: use violence, and they will, in fact, not just draw 158 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: their tasers, they'll draw their firearms if they have to. 159 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,719 Speaker 1: In this case, you're burning down buildings. They don't know 160 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: if there's with this kind of arson, that's a threat 161 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: to human life. I mean, that's a felony. You don't 162 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: know if there's someone asleep somewhere in that building. You 163 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: don't know if there's someone who's trapped somehow inside you know, 164 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 1: cleaning late at night. These buildings are lit up in flames. 165 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: No one knows. Arson's a very serious crime. Just stealing 166 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: is a felony. You know, mob violence undermine society at 167 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: its very core, and the Minneapolis cops just let them 168 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: burn down the neighborhood. Really well, maybe people would be 169 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: less likely to loot if looters were being hit with 170 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: rubber bullets and wrestle to the ground and handcuffed. Now 171 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: you know, you can tell me, oh buck, they don't 172 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: do that. We just went through a couple of months 173 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: here of cops arresting people for the crime of not 174 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: wearing a mask in public and in some cases wrestling them, 175 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: throwing them face first into the cement. That happened here 176 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: in New York, arresting people in public parks for being 177 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: with their kids because of stupid pseudoscience promoted by scared 178 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: psycho libs who want Trump to lose that you can't 179 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: be in open air without a mask on. So you 180 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: know that the cops have been able there. They'll shut 181 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: down businesses, you know, they'll show up and do all 182 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: this stuff, but looting, violence, threat to life, threat to property. 183 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: Cops in Minneapolis called away from the scene. Sorry, don't 184 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: want to don't want to get too deep into this one. 185 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: It's wrong, it's wrong. It's just caving to mob violence. 186 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: Looting as nothing to do with justice. Looting is an 187 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: injustice inherently every time. It's not a little bit more okay, 188 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: it's not a little bit less awful because people are upset. 189 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: I'm upset about a lot of things. I'm not going 190 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: to go burn down a store down the street to 191 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: show my rage. What if I walk down the street 192 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: and decided that I was just going to take a 193 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: baseball bat and swinging at somebody's head because I'm upset 194 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: about something, It's garbage. Anybody who here out there who's 195 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: downplaying this is a coward, is a phony, is someone 196 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: who should not be listened to, and honestly should be condemned. 197 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: Oh there's anger about this, yeah, you protest when there's anger. 198 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: You don't destroy people's livelihoods. You don't threaten people and 199 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: destroy property because you're upset, and even having to talk 200 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: with it has nothing to do with that. This is 201 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: just the exploitation of a circumstance by individuals acting collectively 202 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: to express rage and do what they feel like to 203 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: act on an impulse that they've had that finally now 204 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: they see an opening and there needs to be much 205 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: more aggressive pushback against this. Uh you know that this 206 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: is this is where the cops have got to be 207 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: willing to use force. You know what else are we 208 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: going to say? Anytime somebody wants to burn down a 209 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: neighborhood because they're upset about an incident involving race and 210 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: the police, that's we're just gonna allow that to happen. 211 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: Look what's happened in Baltimore, Look what's happening in Ferguson, Missouri, 212 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: and now it's happening in Minnesota. Unacceptable, unacceptable. Um, this 213 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: is this is an injustice and the people who are 214 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: not calling it out for that, like I said, they're cowards. 215 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: They're not worthy of your time. You're in the hut. 216 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Basically, you see 217 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: less likely to try and tread on people's rights when 218 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: there's other armed Americans with them. So there's bad damn time. 219 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: That's some release. I figure that's bout damn time heavily 220 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: armed rednecks stood with fellow citizens. And why are you 221 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: protecting this store? Well, I mean this wasn't exactly a 222 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: special Latin were getting kind of aco. So Bams guy 223 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: ended up here. We we've been moving around and just 224 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: trying to see what we see what's loved without getting 225 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: necessarily completely slapped by massive groups of people. And while 226 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: we were walking, somebody mentioned that there were some guys 227 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: had the battles after we want to up there, we're 228 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: gonna buy something, and they said that they're they're closed 229 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: and they're defending the businesses. Oh yeah, talks on fire 230 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: yea by the way. Yeah, but anyway, so we heard 231 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: that were like, well, we better, we better kid up 232 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: and go see these guys and eat help. It turns 233 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: out these guys are rocket with a sheet and shattered windows, 234 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: trying to keep looters out of the business because cops 235 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: can't get in here. And so you know, I figured 236 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: before they were cops, they were just Americans. So here 237 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: we are already on during the LA riots, the collateral damage. 238 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: So bottom line, justin for Floyd and uh, I hope 239 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: they stopped looting at some point if there were more 240 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: of us when you go stop, we definitely don't agree 241 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: with the definite protesting. Two gentlemen too, self described rednecks 242 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: standing with rifles outside of a pawn shop right near 243 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: They could see the looting going on. And I think 244 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: this will be unsurprising, but as I as I last checked, uh, 245 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: they they prevented the store from being burnt out, destroyed, 246 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: perhaps more violence occurring, individuals coming under risk. It's all. 247 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: It took two guys standing outside of it. Actually, I'm sorry, 248 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: there are four of them, pardon me in that video, um, 249 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: two of them self described as rednecks standing outside of store, 250 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: saying that they're just going to help out and protect it. 251 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: They're not going to allow looting, which is a terrifying thing, 252 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: to destroy someone's business and burn it to the ground 253 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: and perhaps engage. There was violence against people. I mean, 254 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: a woman in a wheelchair, for having's sake, was attacked 255 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: by one of these angry mobs. Two guys standing outside 256 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: prevent this from happening. Imagine if the cops were believed 257 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: to be No. The thing about those two guys that 258 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: the two I keep saying two, they're the ones talking. 259 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: There are four of them, actually four armed men. I'm 260 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: quite sure that if you threw a brick at one 261 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: of their heads, or you surrounded them and they felt 262 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: in fear of their lives, they would use their weapons 263 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: to defend themselves, and they would be right to do so. 264 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: The protesters know that they can throw rocks at cops, 265 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: they can burn down stores. I set it again, darn it. 266 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: The rioters see this is what this is. So the 267 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: media propaganda is so pernicious. I've been reading about protests 268 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: in this morning when it's not about protests. We're not 269 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: even talking about protests. There's riots. These are riots. Have 270 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: to use the proper terminology. But this is this is 271 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: actually kind of an instruction and how the propaganda works. 272 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: You just you read a word enough, you see it enough, 273 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: and it seeps into your mind, and even when you 274 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: don't want to say it, you end up saying it. 275 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: But this shows you that a couple of armed patriots 276 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: just trying to help out their fellow citizen can really 277 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: step in and make a difference. And they were saying 278 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: exactly what should be said. They think that what happened 279 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: to George Floyd was atrocious. They support protests, but they 280 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 1: don't support rioting and looting and the destruction of public property. 281 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: That the threats against people burning down buildings and unlike 282 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: the cops in Minneapolis. These four men were willing to 283 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: do something about it to actually help some people. Oh 284 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: look at that.

I just want to say, 287 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: before we transition into some updates on what's going on 288 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: with COVID nineteen and all of that, there seems to 289 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: be a media narrative that that keeps popping up of Oh, 290 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 1: why is it so I've seen numerous journalists, Uh, Julia 291 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: Yaffi is one of them, why is this looting so bad? 292 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 1: In comparison to the guys who stormed the Michigan State 293 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: Capitol with firearms? The people who went into the Michigan 294 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: State Capitol didn't break any loss, didn't destroy anything, it 295 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: didn't didn't didn't attack anyone. I this is very obvious, 296 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: but it just shows you. You know, there's there's a 297 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: desire among the left wing media to have to have 298 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: some way of showing their sympathy, not for protesters, not 299 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: for the family of George Floyd, which is completely understandable, 300 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: and that's a sympathy that I have no there's sympathy 301 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: with the looters though. That's you know, if you're a 302 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: real dedicated leftist s JW, a social justice warrior, then 303 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: you need to find a way to have sympathy for 304 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: the people who are burning down stores and destroying things 305 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: like this. And that's just appalling and it's a dangerous, 306 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: destructive game. The media plays with all this and it's 307 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: truly very very frustrating to watch, and it also gets 308 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: them them ratings. But there's an obvious separation between what 309 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: happened in Minneapolis, lots of law breaking, destruction of property 310 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: and violence, and what happened at the Michigan State House 311 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: where you had individuals who were lawfully caring. Now, is 312 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: it a judgment call that I would make to go 313 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: carry in Michigan State House like that? I wouldn't do it, 314 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: but I don't condemn those who do. They're allowed. It's 315 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: within law. It's a Second Amendment, so I understand. Also, 316 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: I'll look, I'm glad there's some people who are early 317 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: on in this process, we're speaking out against what is 318 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: tyrannical and what's going on in this country with this 319 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,239 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen thing is tyrannical. There's no question about it. 320 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: But there's Oh and if you're wondering where all this 321 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: is going, I mean, here is a gentleman the name 322 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: of Vin Gupta on Masks play Cliff four producer Mark. 323 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: I think we need a law, Willie. And the fact 324 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: that we passed the laws for banning indoor smoking becautween. 325 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: Exposure to secondhand smoke is detrimentally your health and you 326 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: can't just rely on recommendations. Unfortunately, behaviors or behaviors human 327 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: beings are peculiar, and they're a lot tend to be cynical. 328 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: And I understand why people don't want to wear masks. 329 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to wear a mask if I can 330 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: avoid it. I'm sure you don't want to wear a 331 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: mask if you can avoid it. It's frightening to children. 332 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: So now is the time of urgency. We do not 333 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: have time to assure all Americans along on this policy. 334 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: We have to be strong. That's doctor Vin Gutta on 335 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 1: on MSNBC playing into this mask frenzy that's going on. 336 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: And now, oh and so now it has to be 337 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: mandatory to wear a mask. There must be the force 338 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: of law behind you wearing a mask. I want to 339 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: be very clear about this. They have no argument that 340 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: they will make in response to this point. If masks 341 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: are compulsory as a function of law for you anywhere 342 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: outside your home, which is what they are now demanding, 343 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: why would masks ever not to be compulsory outside the home. 344 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: The seasonal flu hits us every year. There are millions 345 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: and millions of cases, and there are tens of thousands 346 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: of people who die every year. The fact that there's 347 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: I mean, there are morons out there. There's one I 348 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: came across that MSNBC one of the dumber correspondents they have, 349 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: who think, oh, we have a vaccine for the flu. 350 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: About forty percent of the adult population any given year 351 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: gets it, and it generally is a crapshoot whether it 352 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: even works. And they say, oh, we update the flu 353 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: vaccine later in the season. Yeah. Do you think people 354 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: go get multiple if they're at very high risk. Maybe, 355 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: but most people are like, well, I missed it this year, 356 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: and you still have a lot of people who get it, 357 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: a lot of people who die. If it saves just 358 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 1: one life, that's how we've been push into this, right, 359 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: that's the entry point of this tyranny. If it saves 360 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: just one life, Well, we could save lives if masks 361 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: work with respiratory diseases, which I know we're supposed to 362 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: take as an article of not just an article of faith. 363 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: We're supposed to believe that this is gospel, this is 364 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: the absolute truth. Even though there's CDC study that says 365 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: it still up on the website says that for influenza 366 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: doesn't really make much of a difference with masks. Now, 367 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: do I think that if you have a full on 368 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, plexiglass, self contained breathing apparatus and everything like, yeah, 369 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: that'll prevent you from getting it, but a little piece 370 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: of cloth across your mouth? Come on? But this is 371 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: all about control. This is about making people do what 372 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 1: the people in power want them to do. And it's 373 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: also it's also about forcing you to psychologically bend the 374 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: knee here. And that's one of the reasons I find 375 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: this so very troubling, because I think that mask wearing 376 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: in public is stupid, an infringement on my rights, and 377 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: just part of the hysteria and the attitude of overreach 378 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: and control at any cost that has been so pervasive 379 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: during this whole phenomenon. But if I go out and 380 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: I wear a mask, and I wear a mask, then 381 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: it becomes, oh, you're doing what you're told. Oh, excuse me, mister, 382 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: we shouldn't wear a mask. Here's a photo of you 383 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: wearing a mask. Right, you've complied. You're now a part 384 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: of it. You know, it's like and then this is 385 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: an extreme example, but it's the first thing that comes 386 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: to mind. Well, I'll come up with a less extreme example. 387 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: You know, what's one of the ways that they'll put 388 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: you that they do gang initiation. How do you get 389 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: a gang initiation? Well, a lot of times it's commit 390 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: a serious crime, a felony, usually a violent felony. Well, 391 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: once you've done that, everything else you're going to be 392 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: subjected to in this gang what other people are doing. 393 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: You know, you're a violent felon too, So how are 394 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: you going to say, hey, guys, we shouldn't do that. 395 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: Don't do that thing. You're already a part of it. 396 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: So with this mask mania, they want the law to 397 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: force you all to do it. So then you're a 398 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: hypocrite if you go out with a mask on because 399 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: you're told you have to. They say, oh, you're protecting yourself. 400 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I come across this too with the idiot lives. 401 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I get targeted for this, but I don't care. 402 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 1: I've become somebody that they'll go after because I've been 403 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,239 Speaker 1: a skeptic of this for a long time, longer than 404 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: almost anybody looking at this, and those you're listening to 405 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: the show know that. For about two weeks, I was like, Wow, 406 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: we're in really bad shape here, because all the numbers 407 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: were telling us this is terrible. We're about to get 408 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: you know, we had I watched from my window in 409 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: real time as a hospital ship was floating by because 410 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: our hospitals were going to be overwhelmed. I had friends 411 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: sending me photos from their window of hospitals being set 412 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: up in Central Park to deal with all the overflow 413 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: because all these people were going to be arriving and 414 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: dying in the street before that he even get into 415 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: the ear and there wouldn't be ano ventilators. And this 416 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: is what every government authority was telling us at that time. 417 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: Now I was somebody who said we should never I 418 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: put this out on Twitter, and I got a tremendous 419 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: amount of heat and targeting. I said, no matter what, 420 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: we should continue to go, you know, no matter what 421 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: we face after the initial fifteen days, we should go 422 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: back to work. I don't care what they're telling us. 423 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And then they're also, oh, well, you're 424 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: stuck in your you know, your fancy apartment. For us, 425 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: well it's not fancy, it's small. But while you're still 426 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: going to your apartment, you know, being goal saved, you 427 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: want other people know. I want to be out. I'm 428 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: out all the time. But they'd like to try to 429 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: hit you with hypocrisy to undermine your argument. I'm going 430 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: to stores. I'm not wearing masks wherever I can get 431 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: away with it. At this point, now I can't even 432 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: walk around my own building without a mask on common space. 433 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: It's absolutely, absolutely absurd. But they do want to make 434 00:26:54,600 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: this mandatory. After it went from not worth anyone's time 435 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: to please do it till you better do it or else, 436 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: and it went through that very quickly, very quickly, indeed, 437 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: and now they want the law to mandate that you 438 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: have to do this. I'm sorry. This is a very 439 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: very bad sign for those of us who value autonomy 440 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 1: and freedom and individual rights. And it's also such a 441 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: clear political symbol for the left now too. Why do 442 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: people explain to me why people have their avatars now 443 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: on Twitter with a face mask on. I mean, maybe 444 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: if they think it's just marking this point in history 445 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: or something. I'm not saying everybody who does this is 446 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: doing it in a weird way that's weirdly political. But 447 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: for most people that I'm seeing, it's you know, look 448 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: at me. I'm a mask wearer because I believe in 449 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: the science. I really believe in the science. How many 450 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: of the mask wearers have had a prology test to 451 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: find out if they should wear a mask at all? 452 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: You care so much about the science, shouldn't you know 453 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: if you've already been exposed, have antibodies and therefore can 454 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: neither infect others nor be infected yourself, according to signs 455 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: Now that that's that's too proactive, more fun to take 456 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: selfies with your mask on, you know, Biden twenty twenty 457 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: mask on. It's it's absurd, it's outrageous. But there's also 458 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: there's a bit of heat now coming on this one 459 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: because people are think recognizing the economic catastrophe. We're going 460 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: to be feeling this for a long time, and folks 461 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: are upset about it, and there are states that did 462 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: not get hit hard by this. That should not have 463 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: locked down. It was not worth it for them. Here 464 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: is really a progressive elitist of the journo finance establishment. 465 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: Andrew Sorkin and Joe Kernan on CNBC they had quite 466 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: a little squabble over those play clip three. I'm sorry, No, 467 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: you're not, No, you're not, Joe, I'm sorry, Okay, I'll 468 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: hid with the news. You panicked about the mark It, 469 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: panicked about COVID, panicked about the ventilators, panicked about the PPE, 470 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,239 Speaker 1: panicked about ever going out again, panicked and you ever 471 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: get back to normous if you didn't take their head. 472 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: I understand that thousand people died, Joe, and all you 473 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: did was try to help your friends. The president, whoa oh, 474 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: a hundred thousand people. He's yelling at him. It's like, dude, 475 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: we all know that that's just the way that's you're 476 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: going to handle everything. Now that that justifies, you know, 477 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: just that talking point justifies every decision that has been 478 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: made and will be made. What if the decisions were wrong, 479 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: What if it didn't save any lives? What if we're 480 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: gonna lose even more lives because of the decision to 481 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: try to save lives with the lockdown. That wasn't even 482 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: the right decision because it didn't save lives. There is 483 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: a real possibility that we didn't save any lives by 484 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: doing this, and we will lose a lot of lives 485 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: through our action that did not save lives. Alcohol abuse, 486 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: overdose from drugs, suicide, depression, undiagnosed cancer. I mean, just 487 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: go through the list. No, but there were people who 488 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: had a solid month of feeling really brave and virtuous. 489 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: Lockdown forever, as long as it takes until there's a 490 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: vaccine lockdown. I believe in sciences. People say they believe 491 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: in science. They don't even believe in reading. They don't 492 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: know anything. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the 493 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast, The Nursing Home. The obbligations on 494 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: the nursing home to say I can't take a COVID 495 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: positive person. I'm too crowded, I'm too busy, i don't 496 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: have enough ppe whatever the answer is, doesn't even matter. 497 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: If they say I can't take the person, they can't 498 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: take the person. So that's that's how it works. Oh, 499 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: blame the nursing homes. That's the latest from Governor Governor Cuomo. 500 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: Let's understand something here, friends. He has gone from I 501 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: you know, we've seen Cuomo go from sexiest man alive. 502 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: You know. In the press, that's what they were saying. 503 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: There were people, according to the New York Posts, who 504 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: were calling themselves Cuomo sexuals and selling T shirts and 505 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: like thong underwear with Cuomo's face. And I'm not making 506 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: this up. This was actually happening because he was such 507 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: a savior, because he gave the briefing every day and 508 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: let explain what's going on the briefing. So every day 509 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: he would look at the slides and eventually, what's worth 510 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: of turning into this? You know, we're all in this together. 511 00:31:54,520 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: And that was a means of you, this is the 512 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: thing that Cuomo is doing every day. And and producer 513 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: Mark points out there was a I'm trying to think 514 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: of how to say this, there was a Was that 515 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: a real thing? Yes, people legitimately thought that he had 516 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: an object sticking out of his chests that area to chest, 517 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: the area that was pierced. I think people can put 518 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: the clues together there. Yeah, I remember seeing that. I 519 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: wasn't sure that was I thought that was like a 520 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: Babylon be thing, but maybe it was real. So okay, 521 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: now we have the data in and now we see 522 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: what the results were, and what it all tells us 523 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: is sure enough. Cuomo did a horrible job. And he 524 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: had this executive order on March twenty fifth that said 525 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: the nursing homes have to take COVID positive patients back 526 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: into the nursing home. This was because they had been 527 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: told or he believed that they would run out of 528 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: room in the hospitals. Do I say room funny? Snow 529 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: Princess says, I say room funny? Yeah, you kind of 530 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: say room everyone. He said, I don't know why I 531 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: say this word strange. Do you watch Family? Guy? That's 532 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: so Stewie says it. Oh, Stewie, I've got to work 533 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: on my stee impersonation because it used to be pretty 534 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: good and just speaking, you do it? Oh? Thanks, So 535 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: going back here for a second of what Cuomo did. 536 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: Cuomo made terrible decisions, and you know, the media was 537 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: celebrating him and saying he's a hero and all this 538 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: great stuff all the time Cuomo was making terrible decisions 539 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: for the state of New York and has dragged out 540 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: the lockdown for much longer than it needed to be 541 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: in New York State and here in New York City, 542 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: and they don't have the numbers to back up what 543 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,719 Speaker 1: they were doing and the policy and everything else, and 544 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: it's just been it's just been a debacle. But about 545 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: a week maybe two weeks ago, he started saying, well, 546 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: it's the federal government's fault that we were that was 547 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: the CDC GUIDs. Now he's saying, oh, it's actually the 548 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: fault of the nursing homes that took the people back. Well, 549 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: why how is it there if he's signing an executive order. Remember, now, 550 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: the governor of New York State thinks that he can 551 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,919 Speaker 1: tell you you can't leave your home, you can't open 552 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,879 Speaker 1: your business, or the state troopers are going to come 553 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: after you. You know, if he signs an executive order 554 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: saying you got to take people back, how is he 555 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: then able to turn around and say, well, actually, actually 556 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: we aren't going to take responsibility for this. It's on 557 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: you in the nursing homes. I mean, the stats, the 558 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: stats on what has happened here with nursing homes across 559 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: the country are just it's it's horrific beyond words. You 560 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: have something along the line. I'm trying to find it exactly, 561 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: but you have. You know, less than two percent of 562 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: the country is in nursing homes. It's something like one 563 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: point something percent I believe is an assisted living facilities 564 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: of some kind. And the death toll from COVID nineteen 565 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 1: across the board is close to forty percent. And just 566 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: that's not forty percent seniors, that's forty percent in assistant 567 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: living facilities. This was the big threat, you know, this 568 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 1: was we We know, we deployed our our troops so 569 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: to speak. We you know, we put our fae lenxes 570 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: out there out on the battlefield prepared for this onslaught 571 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:41,720 Speaker 1: from COVID, and COVID actually did a flanking maneuver, swept 572 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 1: around us and went after, you know, our our camp 573 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: in the rear and massacred people who are undefended, massacred 574 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: are our sick, our wounded, so to speak. In this 575 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: battle analogy, we were not focused on the threat where 576 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: it really was. And they can say all they want 577 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 1: now about how oh you know it's this person or 578 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 1: that person or this facility or that facility. No, you 579 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: want all the power to tell us. You got to 580 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 1: stay in your home. You want the power to tell 581 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 1: us what we can and can't do day in and 582 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: day out. I have to wear a mask. I can't 583 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,240 Speaker 1: go to the store, I can't go live my life, 584 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: flatten the curve, all this stuff. You want that authority. 585 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,760 Speaker 1: You also, Governor Cuomo, had the authority to do better 586 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,879 Speaker 1: when it came to our seniors and to protect them, 587 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: and you failed. You failed this guy, this guy, it 588 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: should look it should cost him. I don't know if 589 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: he's planning on running for reelection or not, but it 590 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: should cost him reelection. I don't know if it will. 591 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: Unfortunately New York politics, you never know what's really going 592 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 1: on here. But we know the truth. There's no blame 593 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,240 Speaker 1: shifting that's going to work here. Cuomo, thanks for listening 594 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: to the bus seton show podcasts.

What is the lockdown that we've suffered through, 597 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: the lockdown that has brought about now forty million job losses. 598 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: What if it didn't even save lives? Now? I understand 599 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: that this is very a controversial thing to even ask, 600 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: but we have to, especially because I am not the 601 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: least bit convinced that we will not see a request 602 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: for a second round of lockdowns come this winter time 603 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 1: or to coincide with the flu season. Well, what do 604 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: we have in terms of data to answer this very 605 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,319 Speaker 1: controversial question. We got Jordan shack Tell back in the house. 606 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: He's an investigative journalist, national security analyst. He's written for 607 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: the Examiner, for The Daily Wire, USA Today, a whole 608 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 1: bunch of places. Jordan is back with us. Jordan, thanks 609 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: so much, man, Yeah, thanks for having me. So I 610 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: want to pose this question to you just before we 611 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,760 Speaker 1: get to that. They said we needed a million ventilators 612 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 1: and we needed nothing even close to that. They said 613 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 1: we were going to overwhelm the hospitals, nothing even close 614 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: to that. You know, half a million to two point 615 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: five million dead, not even close. I mean, we just 616 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: so many of the things we were told by the 617 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: experts were wrong. But the one thing that they seem 618 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: certain of certain is that the lockdowns would save lives. 619 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: What do you say to that and what can you 620 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: tell us about it? I would say that the fundamental 621 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: premise behind lockdowns was that we were initially it was 622 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:34,359 Speaker 1: to slow out the spread of the virus, acknowledging that 623 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,800 Speaker 1: every a lot of people are going to get infected 624 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:41,760 Speaker 1: anyway to retain that critical hospital capacity. What we learned 625 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 1: is that the lockdown policy has really exacerbated the problem, 626 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: particularly when it came to the nursing homes, and particularly 627 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 1: when it came to the Democrat governor is deciding that 628 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 1: this thing is going to get so bad that we 629 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: are going to send sick people back into nursing homes. 630 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: And now what we and what should have been obvious 631 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 1: to our our all knowing public health experts, was that 632 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:11,439 Speaker 1: senior citizens are particularly vulnerable to respiratory viruses, and unfortunately, 633 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,879 Speaker 1: it has had devastating consequences for the long term care 634 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: center communities. You saw this happen in New York City, 635 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: in New Jersey, in Pennsylvania, and every state where they 636 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: issued these orders. The nursing homes were absolutely devastated when 637 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 1: it comes to lockdown. In particular, the CDC issued a 638 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: report this week basically acknowledging that the infection fatality ratio 639 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 1: is at least fourteen fifteen times lower than the initial 640 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: WHO World Health Organization prediction of three point four percent, 641 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: and by acknowledging that they also acknowledge that forty fifty 642 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 1: sixty million Americans have already been affected by the coronavirus, 643 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: which means that the lockdowns did not work in containment. 644 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 1: And this wasn't even it wasn't acknowledged first in the 645 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 1: run up to this that lockdowns were or containment. It 646 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: was supposed to be to slow down the spread. But 647 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: if you saw from Cauchi, from Bert's, from Governor Cuomo, 648 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 1: Governor Murphy, New Jersey, they went on to claim when 649 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,240 Speaker 1: they moved the goalpost that lockdowns were stopping the spread, 650 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,320 Speaker 1: and that was never true. And the CDC has basically 651 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: acknowledged that do we have any way of looking at 652 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: the data about nationwide particularly hospitalizations because that coincides with 653 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: severe infection asymptomatic infection for example. I mean, who you 654 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: know that that's a much less serious issue, and it's 655 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 1: also one you're never going to be able to properly 656 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: test and trace, as they say, But it seems like 657 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,720 Speaker 1: we had a surge in infections and then a drop off. 658 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 1: Every other country all over the world, whether they went 659 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 1: with the most severe lockdown or almost no lockdown at all, 660 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: has also had a similar degree of escalation, not the 661 00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,800 Speaker 1: same numbers, but there was a there was a bump 662 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: up and a bump down, you know, I mean, there's 663 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,760 Speaker 1: some bumps are more severe than others. But everyone seems 664 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: to have gone through this period. What do the numbers 665 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,320 Speaker 1: tell us about the cyclical nature of this virus? If anything, 666 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: one hundred percent that within certain statistical parameters in countries 667 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: with similar climates, you saw the same rise, the same drop, 668 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: no matter what policy was tried. The only distinction here 669 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: is that countries that did very hard lockdowns, like the 670 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 1: countries in the Middle East where you weren't even allowed 671 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: to go outside, go to the supermarket, those countries have 672 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 1: different data because those lockdowns were so strict, so rigid. 673 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't like New York City where Cuomo 674 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: left the subways open. But in terms of like these 675 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: loose lockdowns that you sought throughout Western Europe in the 676 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 1: United States, as opposed to the Swedish model or the 677 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 1: Belarus model, there is absolutely no difference, which means that 678 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 1: lockdowns did nothing to stop the spread, and there's a 679 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,399 Speaker 1: lot of evidence it possibly on the other side of things, 680 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,759 Speaker 1: that it could have exacerbated the spread because we know, 681 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: you know how the virus spreads in these close combinian spaces, 682 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: and that we know that community transmission isn't that big 683 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: an issue and the virus doesn't really spread that way. So, 684 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 1: if anything, there's a lot of evidence pointing to the 685 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: fact that lockdowns have done severe damage, not just inside 686 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 1: you know, this COVID ecademic, but outside of it, with 687 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: all the mental health, economic repercussions. But there's still nothing 688 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,359 Speaker 1: that any legitimate scientists can point to that said, oh yeah, 689 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 1: lockdowns have done some positive things. There's just nothing out there, 690 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: and it's it's probably the biggest domestic policy blunder in 691 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: American history, and unfortunately, in you know, it's not just 692 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: America that this is every other country in the world 693 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,879 Speaker 1: that made the same mistake. Now, speaking of Jordan, shack Tell, 694 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 1: investigative journalists and part of what Alex Barrenson calls Team Reality, 695 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: people willing to look at the numbers and comic conclusions 696 00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: about this COVID nineteen thing that aren't just the official 697 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: from on high consensus position. How did we go? Jordan 698 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,799 Speaker 1: from doctor Fauci in March, I'm sure you've heard this 699 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 1: audio to making the rounds a last to twenty four 700 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 1: hours and March saying you know, wear a mask, and 701 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: you know, but it really just if it makes you 702 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,840 Speaker 1: feel better. I mean, you don't have to wear a mask. 703 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: That was in March of this year about COVID nineteen. Now, 704 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,800 Speaker 1: if you don't wear a mask, you're basically a monster 705 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,720 Speaker 1: who wants old people to die, including wearing a mask 706 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: out in the open by yourself. I mean, I see 707 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,799 Speaker 1: people sitting with a hundred yards of social distance on 708 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: all sides in Central Park who have a mask on. 709 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,759 Speaker 1: How do we go from one to the other. It 710 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: is public health officials refusing to acknowledge the mistakes they've 711 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 1: made in the past and are basically doubling down on 712 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: the hysteria and beermongering propaganda entirely not based in data. 713 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 1: A lot of people point to East Asia and say, hey, 714 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 1: you know, there's not a lot of deaths in East Asia, 715 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 1: but you have to remember that there are three primary 716 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,760 Speaker 1: underlying conditions from people that are under outside the nursing 717 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,760 Speaker 1: homes who die of this virus at three primary underlying conditions. 718 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 1: First and foremost, it's obesity, and we know that in 719 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:14,719 Speaker 1: East Asia we are five, six, seven times worse in 720 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: terms of obesity than East Asia. The second underlying condition 721 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,879 Speaker 1: is diabetes, which of course can be caused by obesity. 722 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: The third most common underlying condition is asthma, which can 723 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: also be related to obesity. And for some reason, these 724 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: public health officials are saying, oh, just wear a mask 725 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 1: and not saying stop going to McDonald's. And I think 726 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,840 Speaker 1: stop going to McDonald's is a much more effective public 727 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: health advice than for people to think that by wearing 728 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,759 Speaker 1: a cloth bandana around their face they're going to successfully 729 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 1: shield themselves from a virus that you can only see 730 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: under an electron microscope with ten million times magnification. The 731 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 1: whole thing is just so, it's just all based in pseudoscience. 732 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 1: It's so bizarre, and it's basically a cult that has 733 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: been created. The ask thing is to me, it's just 734 00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 1: a total mythology. It's so absurd, there's no evidence behind it. 735 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 1: And here we are, you know, here I am in 736 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 1: the DC Beltway where in Virginia the governor is now 737 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 1: mandating mask wearing if you're in a group, if you're indoors. 738 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: It's just it's so absurd and it's hypocritical because as 739 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: you see, you know a lot of these public health 740 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,719 Speaker 1: officials and governors aren't wearing maths themselves when they're caught 741 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 1: out in public Jordan, before I let you go, how 742 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,800 Speaker 1: are people getting you know, what is the the working 743 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: theory if you will. For while we were in lockdown 744 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 1: and there's all this masking going on for weeks and weeks, 745 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: there were still lots and lots and lots of new infections. 746 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: So if the measures were supposed to be if the 747 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,400 Speaker 1: measures were supposed to be helpful, how are people then 748 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 1: still getting getting infected? Do we have any data? Do 749 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,719 Speaker 1: we have any way of knowing that? So that's the 750 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 1: thing is that people are just assuming that people are 751 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,800 Speaker 1: like cheating the lockdowns, cheating the six feet of space 752 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 1: and social distancing. I think doctor Pauci has alluded to 753 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 1: this a lot. We said, oh, you've got to do 754 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 1: a better job social distancing. There's just that kind of 755 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,880 Speaker 1: goes to show that when you have the CDC issuing 756 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 1: a report saying, oh, hey, by the way, fifty million 757 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,320 Speaker 1: people got infected and most of it occurred to the lockdowns. 758 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 1: So what does that say about lockdowns? It says that 759 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 1: the lockdowns didn't didn't work at all, and containing the virus, 760 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 1: and we should never have told the American people that 761 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,960 Speaker 1: the idea of the lockdowns was to contain the virus, 762 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,760 Speaker 1: because that was really the big lie. A few weeks 763 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 1: into this epidemic, Jordan, thanks so much for joining us, 764 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 1: and thanks for being willing to ask questions that people 765 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 1: like you and me have been shouted down for for 766 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,839 Speaker 1: months now.

You know, 769 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,319 Speaker 1: I really want to hear from when it comes to 770 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:01,439 Speaker 1: the very complicated debates right now around signs and how 771 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,080 Speaker 1: to protect us from a pandemic, how to get the 772 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,720 Speaker 1: economy restarted? Joe Biden. I just want Joe Biden waiting 773 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:12,280 Speaker 1: in yelling about things. You know. Hey, man, I'm I'm 774 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 1: not too old for this game. I'm I got cool 775 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 1: things to say.

Producer, Mark, would you play 778 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 1: whatever it is that he's talking about here? If they're 779 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,960 Speaker 1: wearing a mask projects strength or weakness, leadership when it 780 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 1: presents and projects his leadership. Presidents are supposed to lead, 781 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 1: not engage in folly and be falsely masculine. Reminds me 782 00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 1: of the guys that I grew up with playing ball. 783 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,320 Speaker 1: They'd walk around with a ball in their hand, but 784 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,160 Speaker 1: they didn't like to hit very much. Yeah, they walk 785 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 1: around with the ball in their hands, but they don't 786 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 1: like to They don't like to hit very much.

Carried a ball, 791 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:14,360 Speaker 1: but they don't like to hit. What usually people that like, 792 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:15,920 Speaker 1: if you see me walking around with a football, I 793 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 1: want to throw a football? What is he? Producer? Mark? 794 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 1: Am I missing something? Does this make sense? No? It 795 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 1: makes absolutely no sense. You're right, hey man, I'm walking around. 796 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 1: I got a ball and I got you know, two 797 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,719 Speaker 1: balls on the hand is worth the bird in the 798 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 1: bush seven little chipmunks sitting on a branch, sheeting a 799 00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 1: lot of acorns stepping into my office Joe Biden style. 800 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,319 Speaker 1: This is just nuts. They want to make this guy 801 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 1: pres in the United States. He's the guy. Oh boy, 802 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:50,880 Speaker 1: that's right. If only we would listen to Joe Biden, 803 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 1: everything would have been so much better. Oh man, I 804 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 1: just so thoroughly, thoroughly disagree with them, But we're gonna 805 00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,399 Speaker 1: have to beat them in the election, folks. We're gonna 806 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,720 Speaker 1: have to beat them in the election. And we also 807 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,840 Speaker 1: have to try to get the truth out. I'm not 808 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 1: I'm not one who believes that we're going to get 809 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 1: really close to accountability for the Russia collusion, delusion and 810 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 1: Russia Gate and all this stuff. I don't think that 811 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 1: we're likely to see anybody who was involved punished. I don't. 812 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,840 Speaker 1: I just don't think that's going to happen. I hope 813 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 1: ever wrong. Some people have been fired from the FBI, 814 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,799 Speaker 1: I've ever been some people punished. But I mean, if 815 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:38,480 Speaker 1: you're talking about handcuffs on and the NYPD is called 816 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 1: the bracelets, put the bracelets on them, but handcuffs on 817 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 1: and frog marched out of the office or out of 818 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,319 Speaker 1: the home. MM, I don't. I don't think you're going 819 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 1: to see that happening. And I think the best we 820 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,440 Speaker 1: can hope for is to get as much of the 821 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 1: truth out as possible so that people can at least 822 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 1: who care about this, And I don't even know how 823 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,440 Speaker 1: many there will be who view this as an issue 824 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: that will determine their voting one or the other. But 825 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:09,759 Speaker 1: for the people who care about this, they'll have the 826 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 1: facts present and they'll be able to well know what 827 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,759 Speaker 1: really happened with Russia collusion stuff. Here is Eric. Eric 828 00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:23,760 Speaker 1: Swalwell is a liar who is perhaps most famous for 829 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 1: his on air flatulence. That's right, if you recall that 830 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 1: was a thing that happened, and it was it pretty 831 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 1: much it pretty much blew up the internet. You could 832 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 1: say it had it had its day there. But the 833 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,399 Speaker 1: the Eric Swalwell line here has been to go on 834 00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: MSNBC and other for CNN, other friendly left wing anti 835 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 1: Trump media outlets and just always act like, oh, from 836 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:56,240 Speaker 1: what I'm seeing behind closed doors, I know that there's 837 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 1: really bad stuff about this Russia collusion and just you wait, 838 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,759 Speaker 1: just you wait. Now he's part of the team that's 839 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:10,720 Speaker 1: opposed to additional information getting out there transparency on Russia collusion. 840 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 1: Gait is a bad thing for the limbs. That has 841 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 1: That's been a consistent theme all along. Here is a 842 00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,879 Speaker 1: swallow Well talking about all this play fourteen. He's trying 843 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,239 Speaker 1: to set up the argument he's going to make in 844 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 1: November that the election was ragged. We saw him do 845 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,759 Speaker 1: this in November twenty sixteen, when he was saying it 846 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,320 Speaker 1: was going to be rigged, and it was being rigged 847 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,920 Speaker 1: in his favor, which is why I think the Obama 848 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 1: administration was slow to response. He'd gotten in their head 849 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,680 Speaker 1: and they did not respond to what Russia was doing 850 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 1: quickly enough. But he's trying to see that argument. So 851 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 1: if he does lose, he can go to the courts, 852 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:53,920 Speaker 1: he can stoke anxiety and uncertainty around the result, and really, 853 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 1: for the first time in American history, hang an asterisk 854 00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 1: around the peaceful transfer power. But Americans want to vote 855 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,960 Speaker 1: from home seventy one. Americans want to do what service 856 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,839 Speaker 1: members have done since the Civil War, as you point 857 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,839 Speaker 1: out what service members do right now in Afghanistan. If 858 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,320 Speaker 1: it's safe enough to do in Afghanistan, it should be 859 00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,800 Speaker 1: safe enough in communities that do not yet have COVID 860 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,360 Speaker 1: under control. You know there's a problem here because the 861 00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:25,480 Speaker 1: Democrats are so desperate to set up this enormous change 862 00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,880 Speaker 1: into our national election. You know there's a there's a 863 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,319 Speaker 1: theme here, my friends, there's a pattern. First of all, 864 00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 1: they don't want transparency on Russia collusion, as I said, 865 00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 1: and note that they went from why are you unmasking people? 866 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,879 Speaker 1: Don't do that, I'm sorry, unmasking the unmaskers. Why are 867 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,120 Speaker 1: you unmasking the unmaskers people like you know, Samantha Power 868 00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,879 Speaker 1: and Clapper and Brannan and all these people that were 869 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 1: Obama Intel you know, Intel chiefs or even in the 870 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,680 Speaker 1: case of Samantha Power appointee US Ambassador of the United Nations. 871 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:07,000 Speaker 1: Somehow she needs to know, you know, about General Flynn conversations. Oh, 872 00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,759 Speaker 1: sure she does. But as as we looked at this, 873 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,280 Speaker 1: they didn't want the list of unmaskers to be revealed. 874 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 1: Now they want the whole transcript out. So they argued 875 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:22,480 Speaker 1: that the names were sensitive of the people who are 876 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:28,359 Speaker 1: asking for unmasking that Roy I'm asking for unmasking with 877 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:33,200 Speaker 1: Carol Baskin, Um, no, asking for the unmasked names. That's 878 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 1: something that they said was sensitive, you shouldn't do it. 879 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,480 Speaker 1: And now they're saying, well, oh, let's release the whole transcript. 880 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,920 Speaker 1: That's far more sensitive than just the names of the 881 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:48,320 Speaker 1: people asking for the unmasking. Right, the conversation itself between 882 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:52,560 Speaker 1: Flynn and Kislak, that's gonna be that's real private, sensitive stuff. 883 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 1: Now they want that released, right because they're hoping they 884 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,520 Speaker 1: can make some political hay of it. But then on 885 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,720 Speaker 1: just the elect shin piece of this, they said Russia 886 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:06,520 Speaker 1: collusion happened because that was their way of negating Hillary's 887 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 1: loss in the twenty sixteen election. Now they're trying to 888 00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:11,759 Speaker 1: cheat in this election by changing the way that it 889 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,080 Speaker 1: will be conducted. And if they if they don't get 890 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:20,600 Speaker 1: their way, you already see it. It's already baked into 891 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:24,239 Speaker 1: the cake. You know what. You know what's coming if 892 00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,160 Speaker 1: we don't allow them this mail, this, you know, ballot 893 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 1: from home situation, you know, and ballot harvesting, make all 894 00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:32,839 Speaker 1: the changes they want. You know what they're going to say, 895 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 1: voter suppression if Trump wins. Oh, and it was suppression 896 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,239 Speaker 1: because of COVID nineteen. Oh and COVID nineteen has a 897 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:45,800 Speaker 1: dispread impact on communities of color. Therefore it was racist 898 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,120 Speaker 1: by making people vote the way we've voted for hundreds 899 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:53,320 Speaker 1: of years in this country. It is a racist, evil 900 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 1: voter suppression scheme that's going to be the story if 901 00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:01,400 Speaker 1: Trump wins. Thanks for listening to The Senson Show podcasts. 902 00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,560 Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or 903 00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:09,839 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. So we had some more 904 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,760 Speaker 1: tough jobs numbers, but we knew the jobs numbers would 905 00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,160 Speaker 1: be bad. They're going to keep being bad until the 906 00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:19,239 Speaker 1: country reopens. It's beginning, but it's not happening nearly fast enough. 907 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,440 Speaker 1: You got forty million people have lost their jobs across 908 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 1: the United States. I want to bring on a member 909 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,400 Speaker 1: of Congress who understands that we have to get the 910 00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 1: American people back to work. We now are joined by 911 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 1: Congressman Chuck Fleischman. He is from Tennessee, where he represents 912 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,480 Speaker 1: the third District including Chattanooga. Thank you so much, Congressman. 913 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,960 Speaker 1: We appreciate it. It's a great pleasure to be with you, sir. 914 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,560 Speaker 1: Thank you so. First off, how is we like to 915 00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,399 Speaker 1: whenever we talk people in states across the country, different guests. 916 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,759 Speaker 1: We like to just get a sense for the ground 917 00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 1: truth of how is Tennessee handling both the COVID crisis 918 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,440 Speaker 1: but also what's it looking like for small businesses and 919 00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,319 Speaker 1: for folks that are trying to you know, deal with 920 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,520 Speaker 1: this economic crisis as well. Well. It's a great question, 921 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 1: and I thank you for that. Tennessee is one of 922 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,719 Speaker 1: the great states that has no state income tax, has 923 00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 1: low regulations, probably the lowest tax state in the nation. 924 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,080 Speaker 1: In addition to that, before the COVID situation, it's a 925 00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:20,239 Speaker 1: right to work state. So it's been booming. We've attracted 926 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,399 Speaker 1: businesses from literally all over the world, so it's been 927 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 1: a very fertile environment for businesses to come to Tennessee, 928 00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:32,319 Speaker 1: thriving Tennessee and stay in Tennessee. There's no question that 929 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 1: the COVID situation interrupted that. However, we're coming back strong. 930 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 1: The state has been back open. We're doing much better. 931 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 1: But there's a disruption effect in Tennessee and of course 932 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 1: around the nation that needs to be dealt with. But 933 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,279 Speaker 1: by and large, Tennessee is a debt free state. We 934 00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,520 Speaker 1: balance our budget every year, so we will weather this 935 00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,600 Speaker 1: storm from the health standpoint and from the financial standpoint 936 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,759 Speaker 1: a lot better than other states. Are you going to 937 00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:07,239 Speaker 1: need a large amount of additional federal assistance to get 938 00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,640 Speaker 1: up and running again, or if, in fact the state 939 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,640 Speaker 1: that continues to open up, you think you'll be able 940 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:16,920 Speaker 1: to as you say whether the storm financially Tennessee received 941 00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:21,880 Speaker 1: about three billion dollars from the less stimulus package, which 942 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,880 Speaker 1: is less than some states, more than others, and they 943 00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,120 Speaker 1: will use that money very well. I have weekly conversations 944 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,680 Speaker 1: with our governor, with our state legislators who work very 945 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,720 Speaker 1: hard to keep us in a strong place physically. Now, 946 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:37,320 Speaker 1: bear in mind, they have got to balance their budget. 947 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 1: What that will mean is in some areas cuts, they 948 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 1: have a robust rainy day fund, but they're going to 949 00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,760 Speaker 1: have to be physically responsible, unlike some of the other 950 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,400 Speaker 1: states in the northeasts that are going to be and 951 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,840 Speaker 1: in the Midwest that are upside down because of their 952 00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:56,400 Speaker 1: mismanaged pension funds and bloated spending. So will we need 953 00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,600 Speaker 1: more money perhaps? If we do, we want to target 954 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 1: to make sure that we incentivize business, incentivize growth, and 955 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:08,200 Speaker 1: keep regulations at a minimum. So if there is additional 956 00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,680 Speaker 1: stimulus money, we wanted to make sure that it stimulates 957 00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:15,200 Speaker 1: the business community, creates job growth, and gets us back 958 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,080 Speaker 1: on the track for a recovery. We're speaking of Congressman 959 00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 1: Chuck Fleischman of Tennessee's third congressional district. Congressman what would 960 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,680 Speaker 1: you like to see the President push for and the 961 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:31,120 Speaker 1: Congress act on to help get things moving in this country. 962 00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:35,840 Speaker 1: And what additional measures, if any, do you support for 963 00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,760 Speaker 1: the people that are so negatively impacted by this so far? 964 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,800 Speaker 1: Another great question. We have to be cognizant of the 965 00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:45,919 Speaker 1: fact that we have spent trillions of dollars already. These 966 00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:51,440 Speaker 1: are funds that are not just appropriated at a surplus. 967 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:55,280 Speaker 1: These are funds that are largely borrowed against our national debt. 968 00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,880 Speaker 1: When we started, we had a national debt of around 969 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:02,440 Speaker 1: twenty three trillion dollars. Depending on where the four packages 970 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,360 Speaker 1: that we have passed will leave us, we couldn't be 971 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:09,040 Speaker 1: closed to thirty trillion dollars in debt for young persons 972 00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:13,800 Speaker 1: such as yourself and I have three younger sons. This 973 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,760 Speaker 1: is a debt that will be on the shoulders, a 974 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:21,280 Speaker 1: burden on the shoulders of all Americans, particularly are Americans 975 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,000 Speaker 1: who are entering the workforce. So we need to be 976 00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,360 Speaker 1: very careful if we come back with an additional package. 977 00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,080 Speaker 1: We have to realize these are borrowed funds, so we 978 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 1: want to use them wisely, no waste. And I will 979 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,120 Speaker 1: say this, I had a conversation with the head of 980 00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:40,160 Speaker 1: the Secret Service just yesterday. We are combating waste fraud 981 00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,360 Speaker 1: and abuse. Unfortunately, there are people out there right now 982 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:47,640 Speaker 1: we're trying to take advantage by scams and otherwise. So 983 00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,560 Speaker 1: we have got to make sure that the dollars are 984 00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,760 Speaker 1: well spent, because these are borrowed dollars. And on top 985 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,240 Speaker 1: of that, we want to make sure that we combat 986 00:59:56,360 --> 01:00:00,200 Speaker 1: waste fraud and abuse wherever we do have a federal program. 987 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Now there's a lot of back and forth between the 988 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Democrats and led by Nancy Pelosi and Republicans right now 989 01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:10,760 Speaker 1: over how the election presidential election, but also of course 990 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 1: congressional elections too coming up this fall. What are your 991 01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:20,120 Speaker 1: feelings on mail in balloting for everybody and ballot harvesting 992 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:24,240 Speaker 1: state by state. Very concerned about both of those things. 993 01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 1: I've said this a long time, and it's coming into fruition. 994 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,960 Speaker 1: We see it time after time. Republicans played by the rules, 995 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,439 Speaker 1: we follow the law, We try to do the right thing. 996 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:39,560 Speaker 1: Democrats play to win, and they'll do anything to win. Unfortunately, 997 01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,240 Speaker 1: and I think this is the latest in a charade 998 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:50,640 Speaker 1: of attempts to basically try to gain an advantage in 999 01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:54,640 Speaker 1: a very competitive environment. I think it's critically important that 1000 01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,600 Speaker 1: President Trump is reelected. I think he's done an outstanding 1001 01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:01,080 Speaker 1: job as president. I think it's critically important that we 1002 01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,560 Speaker 1: hold the United States Senate, meeting the Republicans that is 1003 01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,520 Speaker 1: up for grabs, or some key races, and of course 1004 01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:10,919 Speaker 1: the House. We want a key house race in California. 1005 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 1: We held a keyhouse seed in Wisconsin. It's a very 1006 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:18,000 Speaker 1: competitive environment. I'm in one of the co chairs of 1007 01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,280 Speaker 1: Take Back the House. For our dinner. That is going 1008 01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,240 Speaker 1: to be an uphill climb, and i think we've got 1009 01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,720 Speaker 1: to work very hard. So as we look at some 1010 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:31,280 Speaker 1: novel ideas like mail in ballot balloting or unfortunately what 1011 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 1: we're seeing the Democrats push for same day registration, that 1012 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 1: red flag has got to go up. We've got to 1013 01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,440 Speaker 1: be careful. I want everyone in America who is able 1014 01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,240 Speaker 1: to vote and legally able to vote, to be able 1015 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 1: to vote. However, I do not want any fraud. I 1016 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:52,720 Speaker 1: do not want any tampering with ballots or ballot ballot harvesting. 1017 01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:54,840 Speaker 1: That is in danger to me. I think it's the 1018 01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,360 Speaker 1: danger to our republic. So I'm very wary of any 1019 01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 1: Democratic attempts to Spani's program. Congressman Chuck Fleischman of Tennessee, Sir, 1020 01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,200 Speaker 1: thanks for your time. Appreciate you joining us here on 1021 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:07,400 Speaker 1: the show. It's a pleasure. Thank you for your show 1022 01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:12,360 Speaker 1: and all your efforts to every good day. You're in 1023 01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:16,000 Speaker 1: the Freedom Heart. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 1024 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:23,480 Speaker 1: I mean, in my opinion, the Trump is really behind 1025 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,840 Speaker 1: the April right now. He knows that unless they fixed 1026 01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:31,400 Speaker 1: this election, unless his party does vote a suppression and 1027 01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:37,560 Speaker 1: stops mailing voting and it's unsuccessful in his culture war, 1028 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:41,840 Speaker 1: that he's going forward with that, they will lose and 1029 01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 1: the Senate will go Democrat, the House will stay Democrat, 1030 01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,040 Speaker 1: and the President will be a Democrat. He knows that, 1031 01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,920 Speaker 1: so he is scared of that. He's playing a political 1032 01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:56,600 Speaker 1: game with people's lives, and these people do not realize 1033 01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:59,320 Speaker 1: that they are porns in his game. He only wants 1034 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,920 Speaker 1: to be re elected. He doesn't really care if you 1035 01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,080 Speaker 1: live or die. I mean, witness the fact that he 1036 01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:08,640 Speaker 1: went golfing on Memorial when the names are being printed 1037 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,320 Speaker 1: in the New York Times about how many people have died. 1038 01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:16,040 Speaker 1: He couldn't care. Unless why does he fiddle with people's lives? 1039 01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:21,560 Speaker 1: Is what I want to know why is Joy Bayha crazy? 1040 01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 1: Why does Joy Bayha make no sense? I just want 1041 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,960 Speaker 1: to know there's some of the voters. First of all, 1042 01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,320 Speaker 1: notice that she worked it in already. I'm telling you 1043 01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:36,880 Speaker 1: do what Democrats want for the election or else it's 1044 01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:42,960 Speaker 1: voter suppression. Oh it's voter suppression. No, that's not how 1045 01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,880 Speaker 1: this works. It's not voter suppression to have elections the 1046 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:52,160 Speaker 1: way we've always done elections. And those who are saying, 1047 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:56,160 Speaker 1: oh what about absentee ballots? Absentee ballots generally don't even 1048 01:03:56,160 --> 01:04:00,520 Speaker 1: get counted. This is a total change in the process, 1049 01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,280 Speaker 1: and they're supposed to be a reason for your request 1050 01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,720 Speaker 1: for an absentee ballot. And for those who are military 1051 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:10,800 Speaker 1: members serving overseas, of course we would make an exception 1052 01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,320 Speaker 1: for them. You know, no one's going to say, hey, 1053 01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,520 Speaker 1: you're deployed in South Korea, can you hop on a 1054 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 1: flight to go back home to Oklahoma to cast vote 1055 01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:20,439 Speaker 1: in the presidential election. That's not fair. That makes no sense. 1056 01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:24,200 Speaker 1: Think of the expense. It's not okay. But baihas like 1057 01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:28,160 Speaker 1: Trump doesn't even care about people. Now, I know that 1058 01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:31,520 Speaker 1: you might be saying, Buck, this woman is so dumb, 1059 01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,840 Speaker 1: and her opinions are so contemptible that it's not worth 1060 01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,760 Speaker 1: spending any time on them. And unfortunately that's not really true. 1061 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 1: They are so dumb and contemptible, but it's worth spending 1062 01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 1: some time on them, because she is in artful in 1063 01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 1: saying what is really The Democratic Party based belief on 1064 01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,919 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of things, and part of what motivates them, 1065 01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,920 Speaker 1: and what is at the center of so much of 1066 01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:02,080 Speaker 1: their thinking about Trump, is that they believe the president 1067 01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,520 Speaker 1: just does not care about his fellow human beings, that 1068 01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:08,520 Speaker 1: he is a true and I know that I say this, 1069 01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,760 Speaker 1: and it's one of those things that sounds so nuts 1070 01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:15,000 Speaker 1: that to say it feels like you're almost embracing a 1071 01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:20,000 Speaker 1: little bit of the crazy yourself. But it's true. He is. 1072 01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:25,280 Speaker 1: They believe that he is a moral monster and does 1073 01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 1: not care about human death or suffering at any level. 1074 01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:31,440 Speaker 1: And that is central to all of their because that 1075 01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:36,480 Speaker 1: justifies everything. Right, if you're living in Stalin's Soviet Union, 1076 01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,080 Speaker 1: is lying about the Soviet government, or lying to the 1077 01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:44,920 Speaker 1: Soviet government, or working with the press to not that 1078 01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,120 Speaker 1: there really was a press. But you know, let's assume 1079 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 1: other than Pravda, you know, would that be Would it 1080 01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:55,600 Speaker 1: be a moral thing to use immoral means to take 1081 01:05:55,680 --> 01:06:00,240 Speaker 1: down a monster like Stalin? Yeah, of course, you know 1082 01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,280 Speaker 1: even if might I say immoral, even if you lied, 1083 01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,680 Speaker 1: even if you and you can take this all the 1084 01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:09,760 Speaker 1: way to things like just war theory and collateral damage, 1085 01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:12,640 Speaker 1: and you know, can it Can it be moral if 1086 01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:15,400 Speaker 1: in the course of fighting against a great evil there 1087 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,120 Speaker 1: are losses that occur, losses of our own people. Let's say, 1088 01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:22,600 Speaker 1: you know, there's this is the the ends justify the 1089 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:26,400 Speaker 1: means put into action by the left, because the ends 1090 01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:30,880 Speaker 1: have to be the defeat of Trump because he's so evil. 1091 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,640 Speaker 1: It's not that they disagree with them, it's not. And 1092 01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,800 Speaker 1: it's fascinating to see how the things that they promised 1093 01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:42,000 Speaker 1: would happen if Trump was in office, about how the 1094 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 1: economy would just be destroyed, and don't say, oh, but 1095 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,640 Speaker 1: what about COVID every the globe. One are the only 1096 01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:51,040 Speaker 1: reasons that we may be able to get out of 1097 01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:55,800 Speaker 1: this somewhat in one piece as a country, even with 1098 01:06:55,880 --> 01:07:00,120 Speaker 1: the horrifically bad decision making and leadership on this, and 1099 01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,560 Speaker 1: include really at all levels. But one of the reasons 1100 01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:07,760 Speaker 1: is that the entire global economy is so depressed, and 1101 01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:11,200 Speaker 1: there is when you look at currency and market share 1102 01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,880 Speaker 1: and things like this. There are some zero some aspects 1103 01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:22,080 Speaker 1: to this. There are some components of this that are 1104 01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,320 Speaker 1: more you know, we're in a better position because the 1105 01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:27,760 Speaker 1: whole world is suffering at the same time. But that 1106 01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:31,600 Speaker 1: also is a huge data point forward. It isn't Trump's fault. 1107 01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:36,760 Speaker 1: It's not like Europe was fine and America got crushed 1108 01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:42,440 Speaker 1: by this. Everybody's been badly economically, at least very badly 1109 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 1: hit by this, and a vast majority of places have 1110 01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:50,600 Speaker 1: suffered far too much death and loss from it. But 1111 01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,720 Speaker 1: if they start from this premise that oh rather not 1112 01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,919 Speaker 1: just the premise that Trump is evil, but also they 1113 01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 1: don't care that their predictions about him for the up 1114 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:05,000 Speaker 1: to this were wrong because nothing the results of his 1115 01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:09,840 Speaker 1: presidency don't matter because he's so evil. You see what 1116 01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:12,680 Speaker 1: you see how that this is this is a central belief. 1117 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,080 Speaker 1: So when they say things like he doesn't care about 1118 01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:19,840 Speaker 1: people dying, and you know, Joy Pea who hasn't read 1119 01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:24,439 Speaker 1: a book and probably twenty years, you know, she's out 1120 01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,439 Speaker 1: there spewing this stuff about him. But this is a 1121 01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,400 Speaker 1: this is really on the left. The consensus belief that 1122 01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:35,960 Speaker 1: President Trump isn't evil man. They really think that they 1123 01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:41,360 Speaker 1: believe that to be true, and that means that everything 1124 01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:45,479 Speaker 1: else is justified, including all of their their changes, um, 1125 01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:50,840 Speaker 1: their just demands about voting, and their demands about what 1126 01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:52,680 Speaker 1: needs to happen going forward. By the way, I like 1127 01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:58,120 Speaker 1: what what Kelly Ann Conway said about this. Uh, she's 1128 01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:02,599 Speaker 1: she's Miss Conway is she's got some fighting her play 1129 01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:08,240 Speaker 1: clip fifteen. Why why are we presuming five months beforehand 1130 01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:13,080 Speaker 1: that people predominantly or exclusively are only going to want 1131 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:16,280 Speaker 1: and be able to vote by mail? People are very 1132 01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:18,479 Speaker 1: proud to show up and go to the polls, they 1133 01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:20,400 Speaker 1: really are. I mean, they wait in line for a 1134 01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:24,719 Speaker 1: Georgetown cupcake for an hour to get a cupcake, So 1135 01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:27,599 Speaker 1: I think they can probably wait in line to do 1136 01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:34,280 Speaker 1: something as consequential and critical and constitutionally significant as cast 1137 01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,839 Speaker 1: their ballot. And you know, the other thing that concerns 1138 01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:40,840 Speaker 1: me is very is very simple. The Democrats don't like 1139 01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,240 Speaker 1: their candidate. They didn't want Joe Biden to be their nominee. 1140 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:46,120 Speaker 1: So they're looking for any which way they can to 1141 01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:51,080 Speaker 1: find other methods by which to make him more appealing 1142 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,720 Speaker 1: to the voters. I suppose they're looking for whatever they 1143 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:56,000 Speaker 1: can do. Notice, as she says they don't like Biden 1144 01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,799 Speaker 1: as a candidate. That's certainly that. I mean, that's obvious 1145 01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:04,759 Speaker 1: the case. Oh by Biden, though when I asked about 1146 01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:08,080 Speaker 1: I thought this was really remarkable. When I asked about 1147 01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:14,360 Speaker 1: his mental fitness, he goes on offense against Trump. He's like, hey, man, 1148 01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:18,080 Speaker 1: when when someone you know, when someone decides he's gonna 1149 01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:21,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna come into her come into your house and 1150 01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 1: and start, you know, cooking a steak, and you say, 1151 01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:27,439 Speaker 1: hey man, what about what about playing a game of 1152 01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:31,280 Speaker 1: a bridge? And he's like what And I'm like, oh, 1153 01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,519 Speaker 1: and and then I'm take a nap, you know, whatever 1154 01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:36,640 Speaker 1: it is. He's whatever it is, it Biden saying, uh, 1155 01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:41,439 Speaker 1: he goes on offense against Trump. Here play clip eighteen. Look, 1156 01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:45,439 Speaker 1: I mean, talk about a guy who's missing a step. 1157 01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:49,719 Speaker 1: He's missing someone. I don't want to get down into 1158 01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:58,960 Speaker 1: giving him nicknames, but this is a fellow whom he 1159 01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:04,120 Speaker 1: looks like he's having trouble controlled his own emotions. Um. 1160 01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,840 Speaker 1: What worries me is, uh, you know all this stuff 1161 01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:10,680 Speaker 1: about Biden's hiding, well, you know, the fact of the 1162 01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,080 Speaker 1: matter is it's working pretty well so far, doing the rules. 1163 01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:18,120 Speaker 1: He's behind in almost every every state. Um doesn't mean 1164 01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:20,160 Speaker 1: it's going to be that way come November. But the 1165 01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:24,960 Speaker 1: idea that he seems to get more erratic the more 1166 01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:33,000 Speaker 1: he feels like he's behind the Kurt a little bit 1167 01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,040 Speaker 1: more and more like gurgling with Gergen over here at 1168 01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 1: CN remember that guy, or for Nixon Regan or let's 1169 01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:41,280 Speaker 1: let's go to David Gergen with an analysis of the 1170 01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:44,840 Speaker 1: Trump versus Biden campaign.

David Harsani joins us now. 1184 01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,840 Speaker 1: He is a writer at National Review, going to run 1185 01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:41,040 Speaker 1: down some of the most important things going on across 1186 01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,519 Speaker 1: the country, perhaps even around the world. Mister Harsani, how 1187 01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,160 Speaker 1: you doing. I'm doing well, How are you doing? I'm 1188 01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:51,320 Speaker 1: all right, man. So you've had this series of recent 1189 01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:55,519 Speaker 1: disclosures of what had been classified information from inside the 1190 01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:59,280 Speaker 1: intelligence community. It got out thanks to Rick Grannell, and 1191 01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,640 Speaker 1: now we know that the targeting of Flynn was was 1192 01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,760 Speaker 1: bad news. Uh it was. It was a set up 1193 01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,639 Speaker 1: the FBI. Wait all, what we've been saying for years 1194 01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:12,320 Speaker 1: was all true. How do you describe the Democrat media 1195 01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:16,360 Speaker 1: and Democrat party maneuvering It's it feels to me like 1196 01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:18,880 Speaker 1: nothing has changed. They're just still right in there. Yeah, 1197 01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:22,400 Speaker 1: well there was collusion in Flynn line. Oh okay, yeah, 1198 01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:26,720 Speaker 1: I mean it's a cliche, but they're gaslighting people by pretending, 1199 01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:31,360 Speaker 1: you know, first, by deflecting away from the point. You know, 1200 01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:34,200 Speaker 1: they bring up that, uh you know that Flynn was 1201 01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:36,439 Speaker 1: a bad guy in other ways that he had dealings 1202 01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,760 Speaker 1: with Turkey and so on and Russia, which might well 1203 01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:41,599 Speaker 1: be true, it might not be true, but that's not 1204 01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:45,439 Speaker 1: what he was prosecuted on. That's not what he pled to, 1205 01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:49,200 Speaker 1: and that's not you know, pertinent right now in this 1206 01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:53,040 Speaker 1: discussion over over why they set him up, Why the 1207 01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,479 Speaker 1: FBI didn't think he was lying to them but still 1208 01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:59,680 Speaker 1: went forward with with, you know, with going after him. 1209 01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:03,240 Speaker 1: Why Mueller still, you know, when after him, when when 1210 01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,160 Speaker 1: he knew that the conversation Splendid had with the Russian ambassador, 1211 01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:10,160 Speaker 1: We're not undermining US policy in any way. So all 1212 01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:12,559 Speaker 1: of those questions need to be answered, and as we 1213 01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:14,840 Speaker 1: have been doing for the last few years, we just 1214 01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:18,200 Speaker 1: need to ignore the people on the experts on CNN 1215 01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:22,040 Speaker 1: and lawfare and MSNBC and just keep moving forward because 1216 01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:24,479 Speaker 1: there's a lot of evidence and a lot of facts 1217 01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:28,960 Speaker 1: that that that support our position on this. And it 1218 01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:30,600 Speaker 1: feels like, I don't know if you saw that that 1219 01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:35,160 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal editorial from the former CBS News president 1220 01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 1: where he said, I gotta tell you it was a 1221 01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:39,640 Speaker 1: little bit of like a Captain obvious editorial. For me, 1222 01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:41,559 Speaker 1: it was like, yeah, dude, we already know this, But 1223 01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:44,759 Speaker 1: he's saying the media is never getting less partisan because 1224 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,840 Speaker 1: the partisanship is actually where the that's where the sauce is. 1225 01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,120 Speaker 1: That's where you make your money and get your audience. 1226 01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:53,240 Speaker 1: And and people that are pretending not to be partisan 1227 01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:57,240 Speaker 1: while being partisan just just do so because it it 1228 01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:01,479 Speaker 1: enhances h you know, the But the credibility in the 1229 01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,760 Speaker 1: eyes of their part is an audience that's watching. Oh well, 1230 01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:05,519 Speaker 1: this is just the facts and the truth that I'm 1231 01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:09,200 Speaker 1: getting from my left wing hack. But it feels like 1232 01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:12,479 Speaker 1: we've now at least recognized there's no accountability in any 1233 01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:15,479 Speaker 1: of this stuff for being no one. I have yet 1234 01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:21,880 Speaker 1: to see a single maya culpa editorial from anyone about 1235 01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:27,000 Speaker 1: being wrong on Russia collusion. Uh, you know, the whole 1236 01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:29,400 Speaker 1: Flynn targeting, all of it. I haven't seen. Have you 1237 01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:31,600 Speaker 1: seen one? I haven't seen a single one. No. I 1238 01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,080 Speaker 1: mean I wrote a really long rant against the media 1239 01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,840 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and I made the point to 1240 01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:39,759 Speaker 1: say that I think that the incentive in the media 1241 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:41,680 Speaker 1: today right is to be part of that. It's not 1242 01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:43,840 Speaker 1: to be a good reporter. You don't you don't make 1243 01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,400 Speaker 1: a lot of money. Your job isn't any safer. You 1244 01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:49,679 Speaker 1: don't build a giant audience on Twitter by being straight 1245 01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,519 Speaker 1: down the line reporter. That that's not what you do. 1246 01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,519 Speaker 1: What you do is uh, you become a partisan and 1247 01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:58,920 Speaker 1: you go after Donald Trump, you know for the most part, 1248 01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:00,920 Speaker 1: and you're going to build a big audience. So to 1249 01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:05,920 Speaker 1: walk back three four years of your old hysterics over 1250 01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:09,519 Speaker 1: a Russia collusion that destroys your brand, you can't do that. 1251 01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:11,160 Speaker 1: You just have to move forward. And as you said, 1252 01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:15,080 Speaker 1: there there there is no accountability. Like you know, when 1253 01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:17,960 Speaker 1: I worked in a newspaper fifteen years ago, let's say, 1254 01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:22,200 Speaker 1: a pretty big newspaper at the Denver Post, and I 1255 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:24,920 Speaker 1: had written something accusing someone of something horrible and being 1256 01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:28,040 Speaker 1: a traitor or sedition. They want a lot of facts 1257 01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:29,799 Speaker 1: to back that up. And if I had been wrong 1258 01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:31,760 Speaker 1: and had gone out on a limb, there would be 1259 01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:34,800 Speaker 1: I would have to answer for that right and for 1260 01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:37,840 Speaker 1: much smaller things than that. Obviously, I was, you know, 1261 01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:40,160 Speaker 1: covering local news for the most part in the beginning 1262 01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,080 Speaker 1: when I was reporting. But even then, even in those 1263 01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:45,400 Speaker 1: stories there was accountability you get in trouble. There's none 1264 01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:48,080 Speaker 1: of that today. You can just move forward. You could 1265 01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:50,479 Speaker 1: be Max Boot or whoever and say whatever you want, 1266 01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:53,439 Speaker 1: and even as a columnist, and never have to answer 1267 01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:57,599 Speaker 1: for pret mistakes which are abundant. Right So, and I'm 1268 01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:59,559 Speaker 1: going to say one part of this that feels like 1269 01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,680 Speaker 1: it has been lost, and maybe you can help. You 1270 01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:05,519 Speaker 1: write very excellent columns at National Review. And this is 1271 01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 1: a theme I'd like to be just more broadly understood 1272 01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:12,760 Speaker 1: as the public grapples with what happened here, at least 1273 01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,519 Speaker 1: the people that are willing to look at it honestly. 1274 01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,680 Speaker 1: Is the way that all of our you know, they 1275 01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:20,080 Speaker 1: talk so much about our institutions, right that was a 1276 01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:22,960 Speaker 1: huge talking point for the first few years, the Trump, 1277 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:26,599 Speaker 1: oh Trump is undermining our sacred institutions of democracy, like, well, 1278 01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:29,120 Speaker 1: whatever that means, it wasn't even really clear always what 1279 01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,280 Speaker 1: that was supposed to be. By criticizing some people in 1280 01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,680 Speaker 1: the press, he's attacking the First Amendment. I mean, the 1281 01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:39,760 Speaker 1: stuff they said is insane, But the inability to understand 1282 01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:44,960 Speaker 1: what it means when good faith is not an expectation 1283 01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:50,080 Speaker 1: for those in power within the bureaucracy, particularly in law enforcement. 1284 01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:53,000 Speaker 1: What they've really fallen back on in the Russia collusion 1285 01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:56,280 Speaker 1: thing is, well, these FBI guys. You know, they believe 1286 01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:58,760 Speaker 1: that Flynn was a Russian agent, so everything else they 1287 01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:01,519 Speaker 1: did is more or less just fied. Well, you know, 1288 01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:04,040 Speaker 1: when I was in the CIA, or you know, let's 1289 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:05,759 Speaker 1: say that I was working with someone in the FBI 1290 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:07,800 Speaker 1: and I fed him, I said, you know, I think 1291 01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:12,760 Speaker 1: this person might be handing who has classified information, might 1292 01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:15,000 Speaker 1: be handing over classified stuff. I've just got a gut 1293 01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,120 Speaker 1: feeling about it. If the FBI then rated that person's 1294 01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:20,160 Speaker 1: house through tear gas in pulled them out of the 1295 01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:23,840 Speaker 1: shower naked with MP five's drawn on them. Normal human 1296 01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:25,920 Speaker 1: beings would have a problem with that, But in the 1297 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,599 Speaker 1: Russia collusion situation, we're told that that's okay, and let's 1298 01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 1: concede to them that everything they say about how to 1299 01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:35,280 Speaker 1: start it is true, right the gut feeling, you know, 1300 01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,040 Speaker 1: they thought Flynn was a bad guy. They believed a 1301 01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:42,000 Speaker 1: lot of what was in the dossier, etc. After you 1302 01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:45,120 Speaker 1: see what happened, and after you see the abuse of 1303 01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:48,160 Speaker 1: power that Trump could use. Right now, if you felt like, 1304 01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:50,960 Speaker 1: according to their own standards, you would walk it back 1305 01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 1: and at least they listen. I think Trump's a bad guy. 1306 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:54,800 Speaker 1: I think he's in bed with Russian in many ways. 1307 01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:56,880 Speaker 1: I don't like I think Flynn's a bad guy, but 1308 01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:00,360 Speaker 1: we have a process. Process is more important, you know, 1309 01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,360 Speaker 1: and justice is more important than having a police force, 1310 01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:06,679 Speaker 1: and you know, and an FBI in a justice department 1311 01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:09,360 Speaker 1: we can trust are more important than just going after 1312 01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:11,360 Speaker 1: Trump all the time. But they never they can never 1313 01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:14,400 Speaker 1: concede a set. It's like the whole thing with Trump. 1314 01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:16,880 Speaker 1: People think I'm you know, because I defend him on this. 1315 01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,599 Speaker 1: I'm pro Trump, right, I don't really care that much 1316 01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:21,640 Speaker 1: about Trump. I can hear more about the abuses that 1317 01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:23,679 Speaker 1: are going on. If it would trust me, they would 1318 01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:26,080 Speaker 1: have done this to George Bush, Mitt Romney, anyone that 1319 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:28,400 Speaker 1: you know, all of those guys in my opinion. But 1320 01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:31,400 Speaker 1: Trump is the only president new sort of fight spect 1321 01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:32,960 Speaker 1: the way he does. But I'm not sure that's always 1322 01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,080 Speaker 1: a good idea, But quite often I think it's fine. 1323 01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:38,120 Speaker 1: And that's what makes them even matter and more sort 1324 01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:42,759 Speaker 1: of you know, stuck in a position that they won't 1325 01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:46,559 Speaker 1: even concede the most obvious things like that that Flynn 1326 01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,880 Speaker 1: was railroaded, you know, I mean it seems obvious to say, okay, 1327 01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,280 Speaker 1: Flynn was railroaded. This is over anyway, right, the Russian 1328 01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:55,280 Speaker 1: collusion thing's over. It's fine to concede things now, isn't. 1329 01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:57,599 Speaker 1: It seems to me it would be, but they don't. 1330 01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,320 Speaker 1: Speaking to David Harsani, David, also want to ask you 1331 01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:05,439 Speaker 1: about the big fight right now over mail mail in 1332 01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:08,640 Speaker 1: ballots for the whole election and what's going on with 1333 01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:10,640 Speaker 1: all these different states and you know, Okay, also, I 1334 01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:11,920 Speaker 1: don't know if you if you can just tell us 1335 01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:14,800 Speaker 1: a little bit about what Pelosi's trying here. But what 1336 01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:18,240 Speaker 1: do you see going on? And and and how obvious 1337 01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,400 Speaker 1: is it to you that this stinks to high heaven. 1338 01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,920 Speaker 1: That's quite that's begging the question, is it not? But yeah, 1339 01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:27,120 Speaker 1: I actually do think it's stinks. I mean it stinks 1340 01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,840 Speaker 1: in the sense that they're using an emergency to try 1341 01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:34,840 Speaker 1: to push through initiatives that they that they have been, 1342 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:37,000 Speaker 1: you know, a hobby horse for them for for years 1343 01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:38,840 Speaker 1: and years and years, So they're using this emergency to 1344 01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:41,240 Speaker 1: push that through. There they are in a sense. What 1345 01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:44,639 Speaker 1: I don't like is not just the paper ballots, but 1346 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:48,679 Speaker 1: that we're nationalizing, we're trying to nationalize the election process. 1347 01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:52,840 Speaker 1: I don't I think that those are problematic um as 1348 01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:55,240 Speaker 1: far as paper ballots themselves. I don't like them because 1349 01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:56,880 Speaker 1: I think it shouldn't be easier to vote. I think 1350 01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,439 Speaker 1: it should be harder to vote. I've not never you know, 1351 01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:03,479 Speaker 1: for all of arkins, I've never hidden that. So I 1352 01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:05,800 Speaker 1: think the heart, you know, I think I voting is 1353 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,200 Speaker 1: actually sacred, and that actually as important as they say that, 1354 01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:10,000 Speaker 1: we should have to put a little effort into it. Yeah, 1355 01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,000 Speaker 1: I feel like if the state can mandate that you 1356 01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:14,439 Speaker 1: might have to show up and spend a couple weeks 1357 01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:17,360 Speaker 1: of your life, you know, determining whether or not someone 1358 01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:20,920 Speaker 1: who got called with you know, a pound of coke 1359 01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:24,720 Speaker 1: somewhere should go to prison. You know. I feel like 1360 01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:26,479 Speaker 1: if you're able to do that as part of your 1361 01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 1: civic duty, you should be able to show up and 1362 01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:30,760 Speaker 1: vote in person. That doesn't seem to me like it's 1363 01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:34,000 Speaker 1: asking too much, especially if it's every four years, right, 1364 01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:37,240 Speaker 1: And I think that part of this effort to make 1365 01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:39,600 Speaker 1: it so easy to vote, that essentially we come to 1366 01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:41,200 Speaker 1: your house, you do what you want, to take the 1367 01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:44,080 Speaker 1: vote from you and move on, is to have to 1368 01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:48,679 Speaker 1: compel people or entice people who don't care to vote, 1369 01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:50,880 Speaker 1: who don't know what's going on to vote. I think 1370 01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:54,120 Speaker 1: you want ignorant voters. I think that's the key, and 1371 01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:57,080 Speaker 1: I have long had a problem with that. In fact, 1372 01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:01,800 Speaker 1: I still believe, despite you know, by the history of this, 1373 01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:03,479 Speaker 1: because I think we're in a different world now than 1374 01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:05,320 Speaker 1: we used to be, that there should be some kind 1375 01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:11,000 Speaker 1: of test for voting. You know, just wow, David Harsani 1376 01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:14,280 Speaker 1: with a TESTA this is this is spicy stuff. People 1377 01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:16,639 Speaker 1: get so upset whenever you say a basic civic test 1378 01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:19,680 Speaker 1: for voting. For example, oh my gosh, we're not even 1379 01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:23,519 Speaker 1: allowed to have English as as the national language. I 1380 01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:25,519 Speaker 1: understand this is never going to happen, but I think 1381 01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:27,360 Speaker 1: that having some listen. I don't think it would even 1382 01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:29,200 Speaker 1: change any of the results. But I think having some 1383 01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,400 Speaker 1: basic understanding of American civics, the kind of understanding that 1384 01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:34,920 Speaker 1: a new citizen has right the antic contests to take 1385 01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:37,240 Speaker 1: contests to become a citizen, my parents to contest to 1386 01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,439 Speaker 1: become a citizen, is something that we should easily be 1387 01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:41,240 Speaker 1: able to pass. You can take in a million times 1388 01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:42,920 Speaker 1: if you need to, but you should need to know 1389 01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:46,640 Speaker 1: the very basic specific life to vote. Obviously, there's an 1390 01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:49,720 Speaker 1: ugly history there because people, you know, try to take 1391 01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:52,120 Speaker 1: the way the right of African Americans to vote in 1392 01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:53,800 Speaker 1: the South and all of that. I get it. It's 1393 01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:57,160 Speaker 1: a different world. I think that we need a more 1394 01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:00,000 Speaker 1: educated electorate. But this is just, of course a thought experiment. 1395 01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:01,880 Speaker 1: Is that. I mean, when I'm when I vote in 1396 01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:04,920 Speaker 1: New York City, I'm always amazed. You look at the 1397 01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:08,880 Speaker 1: ballot and I know, I'm a reasonably you know, I 1398 01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:11,799 Speaker 1: have a good general knowledge of a lot of things 1399 01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:14,639 Speaker 1: that are you know, global affairs related. I can't even 1400 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:16,559 Speaker 1: tell you. There are so many languages that the ballots 1401 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:18,760 Speaker 1: are printed, and I can't even tell you what all 1402 01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,519 Speaker 1: the languages are. I mean, I think they get they 1403 01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:25,240 Speaker 1: get into like Sanskrit and you know, tie and I mean, 1404 01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:29,000 Speaker 1: I can't tell all these things apart. I've never been 1405 01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:31,960 Speaker 1: one of these like people gets mad that they're you know, 1406 01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:34,160 Speaker 1: there's a you know, Press two for Spanish kind of 1407 01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 1: press one for Spanish actually these days. But you know, 1408 01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:39,479 Speaker 1: I think that the English language is it's one of 1409 01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:43,240 Speaker 1: the glues that holds together society and helps newcomers, you know, 1410 01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:46,920 Speaker 1: become become Americans. So I'm obviously I do worry when 1411 01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,679 Speaker 1: you have people voting. We don't even maybe have any 1412 01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:53,160 Speaker 1: clue what's going on? You know, David Harsani, David, what's 1413 01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:56,879 Speaker 1: your next piece? Is going to be on Trump's regular 1414 01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:01,880 Speaker 1: executive order on tech company, which I absolutely hate. Oh, 1415 01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:03,400 Speaker 1: give us a quick goal before I was going to 1416 01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:04,800 Speaker 1: let you go back to your life, but give us 1417 01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:07,520 Speaker 1: a quick preview here. What's what's your take on it? 1418 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:11,439 Speaker 1: This is my life, man, m I h you know, 1419 01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this is an Obama ass kind of runaround 1420 01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:18,519 Speaker 1: of legislature which didn't which didn't intend this law to 1421 01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:22,800 Speaker 1: be u you know, they are to make sure that 1422 01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:25,200 Speaker 1: we have a fairness doctrine. It was there for other 1423 01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 1: reasons to stop people from being sued all the time 1424 01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:30,800 Speaker 1: on the internet and to help websites deal with indecency 1425 01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:33,439 Speaker 1: indecency on their site. So I think that that's not 1426 01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:36,000 Speaker 1: the will or the intent of the legislature. And more 1427 01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:38,360 Speaker 1: than that, you know, he's setting up some kind of 1428 01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:41,360 Speaker 1: like White House task force where people are going to 1429 01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:44,000 Speaker 1: be able to report on other people who are censoring them. 1430 01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:45,599 Speaker 1: I mean, and now we're gonna have the White House 1431 01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:49,479 Speaker 1: keeping lists of censorship. It's of private you know, on 1432 01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:53,160 Speaker 1: private sites. It's just I think it's an illiberal idea. 1433 01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:55,040 Speaker 1: But more than that, I just don't you know he 1434 01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:57,360 Speaker 1: got I'm against the fact check that Twitter did. I 1435 01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:00,920 Speaker 1: think it was stupid and arbitrary. We're not so arbitrary, 1436 01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:03,400 Speaker 1: maybe just targeting the president, But that doesn't mean I 1437 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,960 Speaker 1: think that, you know, now, we should be able to 1438 01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:10,800 Speaker 1: tear apart. It's relatively neutral. But don't get me wrong. 1439 01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:13,560 Speaker 1: I think that the criticisms of Twitter and Facebook and 1440 01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:17,519 Speaker 1: YouTube are merited. But I think that the solution that 1441 01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:19,599 Speaker 1: you're coming up with is only going to empower government. 1442 01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:23,360 Speaker 1: And when you have an Attorney General Kamala Harris implementing 1443 01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:26,439 Speaker 1: those rules, you're not gonna like it very much. All right, 1444 01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:29,800 Speaker 1: David Harslani and Natural View everyone, David, thanks so much, Man, 1445 01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:36,080 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Hi, thank you. You're in the Freedom Hunt. 1446 01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Leadership Today 1447 01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:47,439 Speaker 1: also apparently consistent spreading vile conspiracy theories on Twitter about 1448 01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:49,800 Speaker 1: the death of a former staffer for then Congressman Shoe 1449 01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:54,000 Speaker 1: Scarborough and doing it over and over again, traumatizing her 1450 01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:56,640 Speaker 1: family and her husband so deeply that he wrote to 1451 01:25:56,640 --> 01:26:00,639 Speaker 1: Twitter begging the company to take down the prison tweets 1452 01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:03,720 Speaker 1: because they're not true about his wife. What a little man. 1453 01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:06,479 Speaker 1: He's just a little man. He's a leader of the 1454 01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:08,800 Speaker 1: free world, and he is a little little man, a 1455 01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:12,400 Speaker 1: self proclaimed wartime leader, a leader in the midst he says, 1456 01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:16,320 Speaker 1: of a transition to greatness for the country, spreading falsehoods 1457 01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:18,559 Speaker 1: about a dead woman despite the pain and the police 1458 01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:20,120 Speaker 1: of her husband and the family. He doesn't even have 1459 01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:23,000 Speaker 1: the guts to say he doesn't care about what they think. No, no, 1460 01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:24,640 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the guts to say, you know what, 1461 01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:26,559 Speaker 1: I don't care what they think because this serves my 1462 01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:30,040 Speaker 1: political purposes. That's why he's doing it. He doesn't have 1463 01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:32,080 Speaker 1: the guts to say that because he is just a 1464 01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:35,599 Speaker 1: little man. Despite his girth and size, he's a little 1465 01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:39,639 Speaker 1: man inside. And he knows that. Okay, First of all, 1466 01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:43,800 Speaker 1: I mean, George Stephanopolis is a little man. If we're really, 1467 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,240 Speaker 1: if we're gonna go there, I mean we're gonna talk 1468 01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:51,040 Speaker 1: about And second of all, isn't Anderson Cooper is supposed 1469 01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:56,519 Speaker 1: to be at He's supposed to be an objective journal 1470 01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:01,640 Speaker 1: calling the president repeatedly you know, a derogatory name, or 1471 01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:03,640 Speaker 1: you know, to to take a shot at him in 1472 01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:06,040 Speaker 1: this way. And but you know, we're supposed to say, 1473 01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:08,799 Speaker 1: or night after night tune in to watch Anderson ridolf 1474 01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:11,519 Speaker 1: of a prompter and ask obvious questions of basically nothing 1475 01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:15,680 Speaker 1: but Democrats and all pushing the same point of view. Um, yeah, yeah, 1476 01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:18,360 Speaker 1: that's what. That seems objective. That seems fair minded to me. 1477 01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:22,240 Speaker 1: I also, though, I have a more serious point to 1478 01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:24,439 Speaker 1: make here, and and I like I tell you this, 1479 01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:28,479 Speaker 1: I I think the president likes I think he likes 1480 01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:32,680 Speaker 1: to sometimes, uh Rush, I know Rush said this yesterday. 1481 01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,760 Speaker 1: The president likes to he likes to poke it at 1482 01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:39,400 Speaker 1: his enemy sometimes. And you know, I'll leave it to 1483 01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:42,759 Speaker 1: you as to whether or not you you always agree 1484 01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:47,840 Speaker 1: with how he does it, all right, But onto the 1485 01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:51,320 Speaker 1: CNN component of this for a moment. Here, if Anderson 1486 01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:54,680 Speaker 1: Cooper is expressing a lot of a lot of you know, 1487 01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:57,599 Speaker 1: emotional solidarity with the family of this woman who died 1488 01:27:57,720 --> 01:28:05,519 Speaker 1: a long time ago. And I just would note, has 1489 01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:11,880 Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper ever expressed any solemnity on air for the 1490 01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:18,160 Speaker 1: people who have been destroyed, their lives ruined recently by CNN. 1491 01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:21,479 Speaker 1: I just you know, here he is, he's saying a 1492 01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:24,600 Speaker 1: more a moral stand. You know, Trump is putting the 1493 01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,360 Speaker 1: family through so much pain and look that does it 1494 01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:29,800 Speaker 1: seems like it's a it's a very tragic situation for 1495 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:32,559 Speaker 1: the family, and it would be nice if everybody would 1496 01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:40,439 Speaker 1: would have respect for that. But does CNN ever talk about, oh, 1497 01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:43,519 Speaker 1: what has been done to in general? Flann is a 1498 01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:47,120 Speaker 1: perfect example of it. You think that his career and 1499 01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:50,400 Speaker 1: reputation being ruined, threatening to throw his son into prison 1500 01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,679 Speaker 1: that got into anything wrong? Did Does CNN ever get 1501 01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:56,880 Speaker 1: bothered by that? Do they? Do? They worry about the 1502 01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:01,080 Speaker 1: people that they have doxed and and gotten either fired 1503 01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:05,720 Speaker 1: from their jobs or gotten you know, just everyday, everyday civilians, 1504 01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:08,479 Speaker 1: normal people who get death threats because CNN wants to 1505 01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:11,040 Speaker 1: make a point about someone. You know, remember the guy 1506 01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:14,120 Speaker 1: who did a meme I didn't remember what the meme 1507 01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:15,840 Speaker 1: was now, but it was a meme that involved Trump, 1508 01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:18,720 Speaker 1: I think, beating up a CNN logo or something. And 1509 01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:21,120 Speaker 1: then they found out who he was and then they 1510 01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:24,160 Speaker 1: went after him. What I'm trying to tell you is 1511 01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:26,760 Speaker 1: that CNN is really no more ethical or decent than 1512 01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:30,240 Speaker 1: Media Matters for America, which is a trash heap where 1513 01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:35,320 Speaker 1: any person of integrity and character would be ashamed to work. 1514 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:41,000 Speaker 1: Ashamed CNN is getting very close into at least for 1515 01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:44,040 Speaker 1: the on air people into that category. Like I understand 1516 01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:45,960 Speaker 1: for producers, you know, you got to get the jobs 1517 01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:48,360 Speaker 1: where you can at CNN pays well and everything else. 1518 01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:51,599 Speaker 1: But for some of these on air talents, when when 1519 01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:54,800 Speaker 1: do they feel like CNN is just doing damage, is 1520 01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:57,280 Speaker 1: actually harming people. They did a lot of damage with 1521 01:29:57,320 --> 01:30:01,080 Speaker 1: Russia collusion, happy to see people sent to prison for 1522 01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:04,679 Speaker 1: no real reason, happy to see reputations ruined, to smear 1523 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:08,280 Speaker 1: people in the public, No, no remorse over this whatsoever. 1524 01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:11,800 Speaker 1: Tapper or getting this whole thing started, Cooper fanning the 1525 01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:15,600 Speaker 1: flames the whole time, don Lemon going on TV to 1526 01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:19,200 Speaker 1: just be an idiot, I mean, you know what exactly, 1527 01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:22,000 Speaker 1: And then you know, Aaron, does anyone watch Aaron Burnett show? Oh, 1528 01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:24,719 Speaker 1: you know CNN. I'm sure they've got you know, built 1529 01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:26,640 Speaker 1: in audience and all the airports, so I'm sure some 1530 01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:30,080 Speaker 1: people are watching it. What's amazing to me is that 1531 01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:33,240 Speaker 1: someone laying in Aaron Burnett's category at even at CNN, 1532 01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:37,080 Speaker 1: has any negotiating power whatsoever with management, because not like 1533 01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:39,639 Speaker 1: no one, you're a place Aaron Burnett with fifteen other 1534 01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:41,439 Speaker 1: people at CNN and no one is going to notice 1535 01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:46,120 Speaker 1: or care Cooper as a following. There are some others 1536 01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:48,120 Speaker 1: there that have their own following, but some of those 1537 01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:51,799 Speaker 1: anchors this is more of a business commentary. It's remarkable 1538 01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:54,120 Speaker 1: to me. Oh wait, but I mentioned Don Lemmon. We 1539 01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:59,200 Speaker 1: also have have Don Lemon here play nineteen. Okay. So 1540 01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:02,840 Speaker 1: the president was speaking at an event on protecting the 1541 01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:06,479 Speaker 1: help of seniors, and you know what, if he really 1542 01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,880 Speaker 1: cared about seniors, he would encourage people to wear masks 1543 01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:12,920 Speaker 1: to say the lives of those seniors who make up 1544 01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:16,160 Speaker 1: a large portion of the coronavirus deaths. But this president 1545 01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:19,200 Speaker 1: would rather mock a reporter. He would rather mock Joe 1546 01:31:19,200 --> 01:31:23,360 Speaker 1: Biden for doing what doing what every American has been doing. 1547 01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:26,040 Speaker 1: Most Americans have been doing the right thing, and that 1548 01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:29,200 Speaker 1: is wearing a mask, mocking him for being a real 1549 01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:31,800 Speaker 1: man unlike the president and doing what he should be doing. 1550 01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:38,559 Speaker 1: These are their news anchors, and they're crashing the President 1551 01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:42,200 Speaker 1: of the United States night after night in personal terms. 1552 01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:46,800 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. All right, you know, and they still 1553 01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:51,120 Speaker 1: they cling to the fiction nonetheless that they are an 1554 01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:55,080 Speaker 1: objective news network. And it's just it just couldn't be 1555 01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:59,200 Speaker 1: any more preposterous and in the background, as all these 1556 01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:01,559 Speaker 1: bad things are happen opening in this country, you got 1557 01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:07,160 Speaker 1: crazy Nancy. Who's how many wine coolers have I had today? 1558 01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:14,640 Speaker 1: You know, Nancy's out there still, I'm master legislator. Yeah, yeah, whatever, Nancy. 1559 01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:18,840 Speaker 1: She's gonna push this to the max, and the media 1560 01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:21,760 Speaker 1: is going to be there pushing her every step of 1561 01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:26,120 Speaker 1: the way. Play clip nine. We have to open the economy. 1562 01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:29,360 Speaker 1: We have to do so in a way that gives 1563 01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:34,360 Speaker 1: more opportunity for access to care, to credit, to opportunity 1564 01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:37,680 Speaker 1: in our country, because, as mister Kleberent said, this is 1565 01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:44,439 Speaker 1: an opportunity every crisis is. It is a crisis for sure, 1566 01:32:44,680 --> 01:32:50,759 Speaker 1: a crisis largely at this point of lockdowners and mostly 1567 01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:54,280 Speaker 1: on the left, but not entirely lockdowners making and just 1568 01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:56,600 Speaker 1: wait and see what they have in store for us 1569 01:32:56,680 --> 01:33:01,559 Speaker 1: in the months ahead. We have had a reordering of 1570 01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:05,400 Speaker 1: political priorities that has occurred in real time because of 1571 01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:09,519 Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen crisis that we are just beginning to 1572 01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:11,880 Speaker 1: really see where all of this is going. That's why 1573 01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:14,360 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone can anticipate even what the primary 1574 01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:19,679 Speaker 1: what the primary issues that will move that small sliver 1575 01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:23,000 Speaker 1: of voters come the fall. No one really even knows 1576 01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:25,720 Speaker 1: what it will be at this point, and you got 1577 01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:29,960 Speaker 1: with Pelosi circling in the background, waiting to exploit the 1578 01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:33,840 Speaker 1: situation to the maximum. Just you wait and see. These 1579 01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:38,719 Speaker 1: people are shameless, shameless, I tell you.

I mean, maybe 1612 01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:30,240 Speaker 1: it's just because I haven't found a good Chinese place 1613 01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:33,080 Speaker 1: in my new area, but I think Chinese food is 1614 01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:36,519 Speaker 1: the one thing I haven't had in a while.

The curve has been flattened, 1632 01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:27,040 Speaker 1: Steve writes. Now it is a time to flatten the fear. 1633 01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:29,920 Speaker 1: People may be doing more harm than good to themselves 1634 01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:34,439 Speaker 1: by wearing those silly masks outdoors. Besides, they look like 1635 01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:40,160 Speaker 1: stupid sheeple and that offends me. Yes, liberals. Mass stupidity 1636 01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:42,680 Speaker 1: offends me. Give to Lula a pat on the head 1637 01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:48,599 Speaker 1: for me, and of course shield tie well, Steve, thank 1638 01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:50,240 Speaker 1: you so much for writing in Man, and yes, I 1639 01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:53,280 Speaker 1: will give to Lula. Wants more than a pad on 1640 01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:55,240 Speaker 1: the head. She usually wants me to like kiss the 1641 01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:59,840 Speaker 1: ring on her little paw so that I have shown 1642 01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:05,200 Speaker 1: Royal Highness that I've paid all necessary homage to her. 1643 01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:10,960 Speaker 1: So there you go. But yeah, the masks outdoors, it 1644 01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:15,120 Speaker 1: makes no sense, but people are doing it all over 1645 01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:19,800 Speaker 1: the place. It's become a symbol as doctor Fouci. Now, 1646 01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:21,719 Speaker 1: I know some of you are going to figure out 1647 01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:25,400 Speaker 1: that my doctor Fauci sounds a little like my joy 1648 01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:30,200 Speaker 1: Bayhaw Fouci and Bayhall. Think about that as a show. 1649 01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:34,519 Speaker 1: That would be quite a show. We'll have to see 1650 01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:38,960 Speaker 1: if I can make that one happen. Andrea, Hey, Buck 1651 01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:43,479 Speaker 1: Black and Decker Craftsman is closing their plant in China 1652 01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:46,840 Speaker 1: and moving to Texas. Maybe Buck and producer Mark should 1653 01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:49,439 Speaker 1: follow their lead. Andrew, I'm just telling your producer Marks already, 1654 01:37:49,479 --> 01:37:52,639 Speaker 1: he's already cast his vote for Florida. If the Freedom 1655 01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:55,840 Speaker 1: Hunt goes mobile, it's gonna be real tough to get 1656 01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:57,800 Speaker 1: this guy to go anywhere other than Florida. That that 1657 01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:01,360 Speaker 1: that I can tell you, and I can I really 1658 01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:03,559 Speaker 1: how much can I really disagree with that? You got 1659 01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:08,840 Speaker 1: great food? Great Whether it's not a communist dystopia, there's 1660 01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:14,479 Speaker 1: some upside to it close to the beach beaches, beautiful beach? 1661 01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:17,360 Speaker 1: Did have I mentionedly leave that Florida has no state 1662 01:38:17,400 --> 01:38:24,320 Speaker 1: income tax? Yes, and no state income tax. I'm into it. 1663 01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:29,280 Speaker 1: TJ writes in Buck. I'm not a fan of the 1664 01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:32,759 Speaker 1: Trump four D chess theories, and I know that Trump 1665 01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:36,599 Speaker 1: often shoots himself in the foot via Twitter, most recent 1666 01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:39,759 Speaker 1: example being Trump's insistence to go after Scarborough on these 1667 01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:44,200 Speaker 1: murder conspiracies. With that being said, is it possible that 1668 01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:47,960 Speaker 1: Trump's trying to get himself kicked off Twitter? My theory 1669 01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:51,000 Speaker 1: being that the most effective way to hit Twitter hard 1670 01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:55,280 Speaker 1: would be for them to disown him and not him 1671 01:38:55,400 --> 01:38:58,360 Speaker 1: leaving them. Perhaps he's trying to find a way to 1672 01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:02,519 Speaker 1: effectively switch over to a new platform like Parlor. I 1673 01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:05,000 Speaker 1: know this is fairly out there as a grand conspiracy, 1674 01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:06,880 Speaker 1: and it's much more like that Trump just likes to 1675 01:39:06,880 --> 01:39:09,519 Speaker 1: shoot himself in the foot, but just trying to think 1676 01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:17,080 Speaker 1: outside of the box, you know, TJ. I don't think 1677 01:39:17,120 --> 01:39:20,320 Speaker 1: that that's what's going on here. I think the president 1678 01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:23,320 Speaker 1: likes to stick his thumb in the eye of his 1679 01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:27,360 Speaker 1: ideological opponents and doesn't like to play by the rules 1680 01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:30,600 Speaker 1: of decorum they set, even when sometimes those rules of 1681 01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:37,080 Speaker 1: decorum would be fair, you know, or would be understandable. Trump, 1682 01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:40,719 Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't hold back and he throws punches, 1683 01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:43,840 Speaker 1: and that's the way it's going to be. As for 1684 01:39:44,120 --> 01:39:47,639 Speaker 1: Parlor or these other apps. I just think that it's 1685 01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:50,879 Speaker 1: such a look at Facebook and the durability of Facebook. 1686 01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:54,320 Speaker 1: I think that once a social media platform has achieved 1687 01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:59,759 Speaker 1: that true dominance, it's it's a winner take all position, 1688 01:40:00,479 --> 01:40:04,479 Speaker 1: and second and third platforms are really irrelevant because you 1689 01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:08,160 Speaker 1: need that critical mass of users and you need all 1690 01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:11,400 Speaker 1: of that to you know. It's just there's Look, how 1691 01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:14,040 Speaker 1: many of you use a search engine other than Google? Honestly, 1692 01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:16,160 Speaker 1: think about that for a second. I mean, there could 1693 01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:18,760 Speaker 1: be a hundred search engines out there, but you really 1694 01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:20,920 Speaker 1: just use Google. Don't you rusta mark? Do you ever 1695 01:40:21,040 --> 01:40:24,080 Speaker 1: use a non Google search engine? No? And anybody who 1696 01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:28,439 Speaker 1: uses bing or something, I just look at them like why, 1697 01:40:28,920 --> 01:40:31,200 Speaker 1: I don't even really know how to. I mean Yahoo. 1698 01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:33,400 Speaker 1: All I need to know about Yahoo is that they 1699 01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:35,920 Speaker 1: paid you know, they had Mercer Mayer as a CEO 1700 01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:40,880 Speaker 1: and she basically destroyed the company. Yay, good job. So yeah, 1701 01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:44,920 Speaker 1: I can't get excited about about any other social media 1702 01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:48,360 Speaker 1: platforms these days. And you know, we've tried, and we've 1703 01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:50,280 Speaker 1: even had some that we've partnered with on the show, 1704 01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:54,040 Speaker 1: but it's just so difficult to get to that critical 1705 01:40:54,120 --> 01:41:02,960 Speaker 1: mass of users. It's very high hurdle. Gina. Hi again, Bucks, 1706 01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:05,880 Speaker 1: So the president's announcement today he wanted to regulate platforms 1707 01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:09,720 Speaker 1: like WHOA. The only thing that should be done is 1708 01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:14,040 Speaker 1: to create them all as publishers and retract all the 1709 01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:18,680 Speaker 1: protections afforded to them as neutral social networks. Then they 1710 01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:21,400 Speaker 1: can see the litany of lawsuits that will come as 1711 01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:26,160 Speaker 1: they face libel for publishing false info. Being a federalist, 1712 01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:28,599 Speaker 1: I do not believe a president is able to slap 1713 01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:32,120 Speaker 1: back a private business while applying their rules as they 1714 01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:35,439 Speaker 1: are published for all to agree to is something we 1715 01:41:35,479 --> 01:41:38,920 Speaker 1: would champion, or should champion. There seems to be a 1716 01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:41,120 Speaker 1: better and constitutional way to make them see the light 1717 01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:45,160 Speaker 1: shields high, Gina, I think you're correct. I mean, this 1718 01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:48,479 Speaker 1: is what I've been saying too. We have to make 1719 01:41:48,479 --> 01:41:51,400 Speaker 1: sure that these social media platforms are living by the 1720 01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:54,000 Speaker 1: same rules that other media platforms do and the same 1721 01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:57,000 Speaker 1: standards that they do. And if they're going to be 1722 01:41:57,080 --> 01:42:03,720 Speaker 1: engaged in publisher activity, as in the active editing of 1723 01:42:03,840 --> 01:42:06,040 Speaker 1: things just based on what they like and don't like, 1724 01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:09,400 Speaker 1: well then don't they have to be responsible the same 1725 01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:13,640 Speaker 1: way that a newspaper would for what they're printing. And 1726 01:42:13,720 --> 01:42:15,920 Speaker 1: that's the center. That's the center, that's the heart of 1727 01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:18,479 Speaker 1: this debate right now. And I don't think that the 1728 01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:21,880 Speaker 1: I don't think of the executive order. We'll have to 1729 01:42:21,920 --> 01:42:23,920 Speaker 1: see what the President has to say about this executive 1730 01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:28,000 Speaker 1: order and with the specifics of it. Steve Buck, I 1731 01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:32,000 Speaker 1: enjoy your show, but you're championing of Aunt Becky is tiresome. 1732 01:42:32,360 --> 01:42:35,639 Speaker 1: She's getting far less of a punishment than she deserves. Remember, 1733 01:42:36,080 --> 01:42:39,240 Speaker 1: her conniving dishonesty likely deprive two deserving young women of 1734 01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:42,679 Speaker 1: the positions her daughters were awarded. Elites simply don't deserve 1735 01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:45,360 Speaker 1: special treatment as a result of their well, whoa whole 1736 01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:48,240 Speaker 1: lot of second, Steve, First of all, thank you right 1737 01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:51,839 Speaker 1: didn't give me heat when I deserve it. I am 1738 01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:56,200 Speaker 1: biased in favor of Aunt Becky, not because she's an elite, 1739 01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:58,519 Speaker 1: but because I had a huge crush on her when 1740 01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:00,000 Speaker 1: I was a kid and she was on Full House 1741 01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:02,880 Speaker 1: and she was like the hottest adult lady I'd ever seen. Okay, 1742 01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:06,360 Speaker 1: So it has nothing to do with oh, she's fancy 1743 01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:09,000 Speaker 1: and the elites. It's because when I was fifteen, I 1744 01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:12,920 Speaker 1: was like, man, Damn Becky's so pretty. Hun, just Damn 1745 01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:19,559 Speaker 1: Becky's pretty. That's it. That's it, you know. So that's 1746 01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:20,840 Speaker 1: all that's all I got for you. I don't know 1747 01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:22,439 Speaker 1: what else to tell you that I'm I'm not saying 1748 01:43:22,439 --> 01:43:24,719 Speaker 1: it makes me right, you're better, but I am also 1749 01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:28,400 Speaker 1: the hold on a second months in prison, months in 1750 01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:31,519 Speaker 1: prison for this. Why can't you know the school should 1751 01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:33,200 Speaker 1: just you know, take the next two people they had 1752 01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:35,400 Speaker 1: on the waiting list, kicked out, the kick out her 1753 01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:38,759 Speaker 1: two girls, and you know, pay a big fine or something. 1754 01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:41,160 Speaker 1: But I mean, I think Priston's a little Her husband, 1755 01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:46,200 Speaker 1: Massimo is going to prison for like six months. So anyway, 1756 01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:47,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry you think it's tiresome, but I 1757 01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:49,200 Speaker 1: just want to be clear. It's not because they're like 1758 01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:51,240 Speaker 1: fancy I don't give a crap. I love fancy people 1759 01:43:51,240 --> 01:43:54,040 Speaker 1: who are bad going to prison. It's great. It's because 1760 01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:56,280 Speaker 1: when I was young, she was very pretty and I 1761 01:43:56,320 --> 01:44:00,360 Speaker 1: liked her. James Buck, when you get the press on 1762 01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:02,240 Speaker 1: the podcast, you should let him do roll call. That 1763 01:44:02,240 --> 01:44:06,320 Speaker 1: would be so cool. She'll tie from w G Y Well, 1764 01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:09,760 Speaker 1: my friend, if that happens, that would be that would 1765 01:44:09,760 --> 01:44:12,519 Speaker 1: be really fun idea that could you imagine that the 1766 01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:15,519 Speaker 1: president doing roll call? Oh my gosh, it'd be great. 1767 01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:18,000 Speaker 1: But here I am in the freedom hud, the best, 1768 01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:20,800 Speaker 1: the most free freedom hud of any freedom hood in 1769 01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:25,240 Speaker 1: the world. It's like the best freedom hud. Uh. Yeah. 1770 01:44:25,360 --> 01:44:28,120 Speaker 1: Pablo all right saying, hey, Buck, I remember you did 1771 01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:32,360 Speaker 1: a good podcast which you named MSNBC can't math good. 1772 01:44:33,280 --> 01:44:36,000 Speaker 1: That's a we do well when there is opportunity the 1773 01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,280 Speaker 1: news cycle. We do have some pretty great titles. I 1774 01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:41,599 Speaker 1: gotta tell you. There was a CBS reporter report story 1775 01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:45,360 Speaker 1: reporting that since my state is opened, we have experienced 1776 01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:49,360 Speaker 1: a one hundred and eleven percent increase in wuhan flu cases. 1777 01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:53,679 Speaker 1: Before we opened, there were thirty five cases, and since open, 1778 01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:57,559 Speaker 1: we have an increase to thirty nine active cases. I 1779 01:44:57,640 --> 01:44:59,439 Speaker 1: went ahead and did the math myself and came up 1780 01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:03,080 Speaker 1: with a frac below nine percent. I did discover that 1781 01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:06,160 Speaker 1: thirty nine is about one hundred and eleven percent of 1782 01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:10,920 Speaker 1: thirty five. Apparently leftist journalist didn't have to take basic 1783 01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:14,599 Speaker 1: math shields. High buck, ps, keep fighting the good fight. 1784 01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:16,400 Speaker 1: I think your show is the best on the air. Well, 1785 01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:19,679 Speaker 1: thank you so much, Thank you so much. I really 1786 01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:22,760 Speaker 1: do appreciate that. It's very kind of you.

Then I am 1841 01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:36,400 Speaker 1: also high risk, but I refuse to live my life 1842 01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:39,840 Speaker 1: one day in fear. I have autoimmune and celiac.

I'm very excited 1851 01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:08,160 Speaker 1: you're coming here. I got yelled at the other day 1852 01:49:08,200 --> 01:49:10,120 Speaker 1: by someone because I was outside my house not wearing 1853 01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:12,680 Speaker 1: a mask. I gave them a colorful response. People have 1854 01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:15,200 Speaker 1: lost their mind. Shields high. Oh that reminds me. I 1855 01:49:15,240 --> 01:49:18,280 Speaker 1: was going to give a speech in North Carolina in June, 1856 01:49:18,360 --> 01:49:22,559 Speaker 1: but because of state regulations, the hosts have asked me 1857 01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:24,720 Speaker 1: to push it back to August. So I was gonna go, 1858 01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:29,439 Speaker 1: but state regularly. You know, I can't fight city hall, 1859 01:49:29,479 --> 01:49:31,360 Speaker 1: so to speak, so we pushed it to August. I 1860 01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:33,160 Speaker 1: will be in the great state of North Carolina giving 1861 01:49:33,200 --> 01:49:38,400 Speaker 1: a speech for a whole bunch of folks. Justin right, Hey, Buck, 1862 01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:41,720 Speaker 1: I literally yelled yes when you made the point that 1863 01:49:41,760 --> 01:49:46,680 Speaker 1: the governors are absolutely responsible for following idiotic and reckless 1864 01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:50,479 Speaker 1: advice from the CDC regarding nursing homes. That's the problem 1865 01:49:50,479 --> 01:49:53,559 Speaker 1: with blue states. I'm in New Jersey. The governors are followers, 1866 01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:57,360 Speaker 1: not leaders, and it is a time. It is time 1867 01:49:57,400 --> 01:50:00,000 Speaker 1: for leadership. You asked how we can resist the lockdown 1868 01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:02,120 Speaker 1: it is the other day. I say we take a 1869 01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:05,520 Speaker 1: page out of the Democrat playbook and start recall campaign 1870 01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:08,719 Speaker 1: jus like they did to Scott Walker, except we actually 1871 01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:15,479 Speaker 1: have good reason. What are your thoughts, um, I mean, Justin, 1872 01:50:15,560 --> 01:50:17,559 Speaker 1: I love the idea of recall campaigns in some of 1873 01:50:17,560 --> 01:50:21,200 Speaker 1: these blue states, except you know that I don't think 1874 01:50:21,200 --> 01:50:24,760 Speaker 1: that Democrats want to hold people responsible for this. They don't. 1875 01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:27,240 Speaker 1: They don't think that what Cuomo did is a big problem, 1876 01:50:27,400 --> 01:50:30,599 Speaker 1: so they you know, I don't know. I don't know, 1877 01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:34,000 Speaker 1: Christ and I would honestly prefer you stop trying to 1878 01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:36,080 Speaker 1: do Trump. I don't think anyone doesn't, well, not even 1879 01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:38,040 Speaker 1: Alec Ball that who comes closest. It's hard to do 1880 01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:40,920 Speaker 1: Trump's voice without sounding like he's being mocked. So just 1881 01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:43,479 Speaker 1: let that one stick with Bernie, Alex Jones, et cetera. Yeah, Chris, 1882 01:50:43,479 --> 01:50:45,280 Speaker 1: and I'm with you. I think I'm gonna hang up there. 1883 01:50:45,439 --> 01:50:48,639 Speaker 1: Annie and I you know, and I just gently imitate 1884 01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:52,840 Speaker 1: the president with with fondness and affection. But but I 1885 01:50:52,840 --> 01:50:54,479 Speaker 1: I'm not good. It's not it's not you know, you 1886 01:50:54,479 --> 01:50:56,160 Speaker 1: know why. My heart's not in it. You're right, my 1887 01:50:56,160 --> 01:50:58,720 Speaker 1: heart's not in it where you with other impersonations like 1888 01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:03,160 Speaker 1: doctor Fauci. My heart's in it. My mitigation and my heart. 1889 01:51:03,840 --> 01:51:06,360 Speaker 1: That's gonna be the shout on everybody talked to you tomorrow. 1890 01:51:06,640 --> 01:51:07,479 Speaker 1: Seels high.
