WEBVTT - Why Is Biden Taking Away Antibodies From Florida? 0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:04.920 You're listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:07.560 you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.360 or wherever you get your podcasts. Team, Welcome to the 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:14.760 Freedom Hunt Friday edition of The Buck Sexton Show. Great 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:16.920 to have you here with me, and we got much 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:21.120 to discuss. You have a huge number of people illegal 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:25.440 immigrants under a highway overpass in the Del Rio section 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.920 of Texas, and now guess what they're trying to hide 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:30.840 this from? You all explain in a moment. The borders 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.760 a total mess. The federal government is cutting back on 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:40.320 access to monoclonal antibodies for the state of Florida. Why 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.840 would they do that? What the heck is that all about? 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.680 Plus you've got the right wing rally coming up that 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.639 the Libs are all freaking out about, and oh so 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.199 much more so we'll dive into it, but you know, 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.640 the Tunnel to Towers Foundation helps us keep our commitment 0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.880 to never forget. This year, the foundation is honoring GoldStar 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.480 and fallen first responder families with young children and catastrophically 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.600 injured veterans and first responders with two hundred mortgage free homes. 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.919 Think about what a difference that makes in the lives 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.199 of our heroes and their families. Chairman and CEO Frank 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.600 Siller is paying tribute to the fallen by walking from 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.520 the Pentagon to Shanksville and on to ground zero, more 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.039 than five hundred miles through six states and forty two 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.000 days the month of August through nine to eleven. Towers 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:26.640 of Lighter to shine at the Pentagon and shanks fill 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.319 memorials in remembrance. The names of those we lost to 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.560 nine eleven related illness are being read allowed at a 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.720 ceremony on September twelfth, and on Veterans Day, the names 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.320 of those we lost in the War on Terror will 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.959 also be said. Allowed. Do good and help America to 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.000 never forget. Donate eleven dollars a month to tunnel to 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.319 towers at t twot dot org. That's t the number 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:51.840 two T dot org. All right, So here's where we 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.400 are on the border. I want to start with that today. 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.320 Although there's so much to talk about when it comes 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:02.840 to COVID, the Biden administration is not even pretending that 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.800 they want to do anything about the crisis at the border. 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:11.080 The Biden administration is benefiting politically from this over the 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.120 long run, and so they're willing to take the short 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.919 term political fallout from this, but not even really because 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:23.519 guess what they're doing now. They are banning drone flights 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:30.680 over the area where ten thousand migrants, mostly Haitian migrants, 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.440 not or remember we were told that was Central America. 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:38.000 They're fleeing because of the violence in Central America. They're 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.440 fleeing a haiti Why what's the new event. They'll say, Oh, 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.760 it's a earthquake or there's something. No. In fact, I 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.079 just spoke to someone yesterday whose organization has been interviewing 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.720 some of these migrants in waiting, and a lot of 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:55.440 them are Haitian by way of South America. In their 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.080 travels here, they have established lives. They're already refugees elsewhere, 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:05.440 but they want to come into the United States because 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:11.520 the border is wide open. That's what's actually happening here. 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.120 They want to come into the US because now's a 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.919 good time, because they know that it is wide open. 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.080 That's the whole point. It's not that they're fleeing some 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.480 imminent violence. They're not refugees. They're illegal immigrants. Or if 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.720 they were refugees, it was when they first got out 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:32.519 of Haiti and got to South America or Central America. 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.640 But now we're being told that or a judge has 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:40.200 decided that the federal government can't use Title forty two 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.680 to turn them away based on COVID, or they're not 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:47.320 turning them away based on COVID. This is a total mess. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:53.400 And remember, we have a situation here where our rights, 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:59.680 our basic freedoms are under more sustained and egregious assault 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.600 than they have ever been in my lifetime. I mean, 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.840 I can only speak to through my own existence. We 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:10.040 have never seen the government engaged in so much overreach 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:16.599 and so much blatant, thuggish politicization of what are supposedly 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:21.640 nonpartisan health measures and the bureaucracy around it. Friends, we 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.160 have a we have a CDC that thinks it can 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:29.240 tell you that you're not allowed to evict a squatter 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:33.159 basically in a property that you own. Where does the 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.200 CDC get the authority for that? Where does all this 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:42.400 come from? The overreach is massive. Meanwhile, while all this 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:48.120 is going on, they don't care about the thousands and 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.680 thousands of migrants who are coming across the border. Some 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.159 of these places, the Donna Facility, for example, which i've 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.760 been down to where they're holding migrants. They have fifteen 0:04:55.880 --> 0:05:00.040 twenty percent COVID positivity ratings, so they've got a a 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.159 lot of people coming in with COVID. That's just real. Now, 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.320 you can tell me, oh, but buck there's so much 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.360 COVID out there and this isn't you know, this is 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.680 just a drop in the bucket or something. That's not 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.360 the attitude we take anywhere else about COVID. We want 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:17.040 people testing every day in the workplace. Now we're told, 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:18.719 I mean, I don't want to, but that's what's going on. 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.080 We want, we want people to be engaged in all 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:29.320 kinds of extreme mitigation behaviors with very limited upside. And 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.080 if you don't do it, you're a bad person. By 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.920 the way, they're looking right now, whether boosters are necessary 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.000 or not. But if you argue that boosters are not 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.600 necessary and you contradict the official guidance, they're going to 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:47.240 say you're a bad person. How dare you right? This 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.960 is the circumstance in which we find ourselves. Friends, This 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:55.240 is what is going on today, and it's just insane. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:01.000 It's just insane. They don't care, they don't care what's 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:02.839 going on. They don't care about the fact that you 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.640 can see there are different sets of rules for illegal immigrants. 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.880 In fact, illegal immigrants get treated with a special care 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:14.120 in many ways that Americans don't. They have the power, 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:19.200 they're going to do it, okay. So that's one thing 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.280 that I just want to put out. The border's wide open, 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.000 Haitian migrants flooding into the country. It's not going to stop. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.440 The FAA is banning the drone flights because they don't 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.760 want people to see. I mean, they literally don't want 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.560 you to see what is going on because it just 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.800 shows what a joke our border enforcements become border patrol 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.039 morales and the toilet. Everybody knows this is a mess. 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.440 They're just trying to hide it from you. And then 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.159 they're trying to slip right now in that massive multi 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.960 trillion dollars spending package, they're trying to slip an amnesty 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:55.920 for millions of people. They're changing the demographics of America 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.240 by fiat by pretending it's a budgetary issue. That's what 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.400 they want to do, and we're not supposed to notice 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.840 because people who show up who don't really speak English, 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.120 who maybe don't have even the equivalent of a high 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.440 school education are going to be more dependent on the state. 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.480 That's just a fact. By the numbers, they're going to 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:19.720 enlarge the welfare state, by the way, that's actually how 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.280 the Democrats are trying to put this in the budget bill. Oh, 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:27.360 it's going to enlarge the regulatory administrative welfare state by 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.600 having all these migrants. So that's why it's a budgetary issue. 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.640 But if you say that out loud, they say, oh, 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.400 that's racist. Well, no, they admit it. They just want 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.760 to call people racist who call them out for the 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.360 nonsense that they are doing right now in the Biden administration. 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.720 So that's all going on. But what may be the 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.880 even more troubling story right now, Actually I don't know. 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:54.040 They're both really troubling, but this is particularly egregious. Florida 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:58.200 is on the other side of its COVID wave right now. 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:03.240 This is a seasonal virus. The virus, if you were 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.640 to look at a heat map, is moving up. It's 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:11.160 moving northward as places get colder, as more people are indoors, 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:16.160 it is moving up. It's very entrenched in Oregon right now. 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.880 Oregon has had it's worst by cases worth, worst month 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.760 of COVID ever, and then in Tennessee and in Kentucky 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.480 there's a lot. There's a lot of COVID right now. 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.080 In Hawaii, there's a lot of COVID. It's going to 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:35.720 hit the northeast this winter. I'm pretty certain of that. Now. Look, 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.720 everybody has been see I'll actually admit sometimes I've been 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.000 off on the numbers on the predictions here, everyone has been. 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.840 But generally speaking, I think I've gotten it right on that. 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.320 It's on the policies and the next moves of the 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.000 LIBS that I'm essentially always right. That's where I know 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:58.760 exactly what they're going to do. But on the monoclonal 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:05.959 antibody situation, this is stunning. You will recall that it 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.600 was not long ago that Governor Ronda Santis was being 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:14.280 accused of inflating monoclonal antibodies because he had some kind 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.160 of ownership stake in it or something like that. And 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.720 guess what that was a lie. Monoclonal antibodies for people 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.920 who are already sick with COVID and get it early, 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:29.480 are a very effective therapeutic. Does not prevent infection, but 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:34.080 helpful if you do get infected. And people obviously know 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:38.160 this because they're showing up at monoclonal antibody treatment centers. 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:43.640 And guess what the Biden administration is doing, cutting Florida's 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:48.200 monoclonal antibody supply by more than half. I just spoke 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.200 to a high level official in the state of Florida 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:55.920 about this. They are cutting monoclonal antibody treatment supply in 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.240 half for the state of Florida. Now, Jensaki's pretending that's 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.440 not what's going on. I can tell you she's lying. 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.959 Play it. That's not accurate. First of all, we are 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.760 increasing our distribution this month by fifty percent. In early August, 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.520 we were distributing an average of one hundred thousand doses 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.079 per week. Now we're shipping an average of one hundred 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.880 and fifty thousand doses per week. But over the last month, 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.480 given the rising cases due to the delta variant and 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.120 the lower number of vaccination rates in some of these 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.560 states like Florida, like Texas, just seven states are making 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:31.719 up seventy percent of the orders. Our supply is not unlimited, 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.640 and we believe it should be equitable. Our role as 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:38.880 the government overseeing the entire country is to be equitable 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.560 in how we distribute. We're not going to give a 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:48.520 greater percentage to Florida over Oklahoma. Equity equitable, there's that term. 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.800 You know what that means to lives to leftists. Whatever 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:57.280 I want to do is what's fair, not what's legal, 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:02.920 not what's ethical, not what's just equity is whatever we 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:08.920 want to do, we get to say that's fair. Oh, 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:14.719 isn't that interesting? Isn't that just fascinating? Why would they 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.040 right now when Florida still has pretty high case load, 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.040 although it's hospitalization since August are down about fifty percent. 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.280 Hospitalizations of Florida are way down. It's on the other side. 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.520 This is what we keep seeing happening, right And what 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.800 do the Libs do? What does this the Democrat media 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.199 do they when cases are high in some red states? Oh, 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.560 the stupid red states. The Trump voters are there, such 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.400 idiots and they just ignore the blue states that are 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.079 having a hard time, and then when things get bad 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.120 in the blue states, they go lock down the whole country. 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.000 Oh my gosh, you know. And it's never there's never 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.240 a focus on the politics of the inhabitants of anyone state. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.520 What's going on here. We'll come back to this in 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:57.400 just a second. Because this cutting the monoclonal antibodies. It's 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.760 like the federal government is trying to punish Florida for 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:05.280 political reasons by denying people the access to medical treatment 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.439 that they should have. That's what's going on. This should 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.720 be like, think about it this way. The federal government, 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.679 the Bide administration, when we thought, remember we thought we 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.520 needed a million ventilators. We didn't think that, but that's 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.959 what the government told us. Imagine if we really did 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.599 need a lot of ventilators and there were tons of 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.640 people on ventilators in Florida and it was a state 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.200 that was going through a tough time, and the Biden 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:30.360 administration said, we're going to cut your ventilator access in 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:34.240 half because we think that's more equitable.

It is time to cancel cancel culture. 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:57.080 So is the Biden administration cutting off monoclonal antibody to access, 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.680 because remember the federal government said, oh, we're now in 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:04.560 charge of this, We're in charge of monoclonal antibody access. 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:09.160 And then they're saying, Florida, you're getting cut in half 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:13.680 on this. Why what is the rationalization? What is the 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:20.320 reason for that? Well here is also calling her little 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:25.560 Red Lionhood Saki of Newsmax Play three. He promised on 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.720 September ninth that he was going to send fifty percent 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:32.600 more supply of monoclonal antibodies to states. Yet the Biden 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.600 administration is putting supplies and red states by fifty percent. 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.560 So for example, you know, in Florida, they were expecting 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.080 to get seventy thousand doses this week, which they say 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.760 they need. They're only getting thirty thousand doses. And this 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:48.360 is not just for unvaccinated people. In South Florida. Half 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.880 the people who are seeking this treatment are fully vaccinated. 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:58.080 So why is the Biden administration cutting the supplies? Why? Right? 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.800 And that was that was the question that posed to Saki. 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.880 I played the Saki answer before. But you get the idea, 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:08.200 why is this going on? What's happening here? How can 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.000 that make any sense when you're in the midst of 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.440 they've all been saying Florida, Oh my gosh, Florida. Ever, 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:17.720 it's so terrible there, friends, These people are deranged, these democrats, 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:21.120 they've lost their minds, they've lost their bearings really Russia 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.240 Trump collusion, that lie. They bought into that, and now 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.960 they'll buy into other lies too, because it's more important 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:31.600 to them to evade the accountability for their intellectual and 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.240 ethical failings over believing this crap than to face up 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.640 to reality. They're not as smart as they think they are, 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:40.120 not by a long shot. They're wrong a lot, and 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.760 they're actually a bunch of petty tootalitarians at heart. America 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.960 now is a country with far too many hall monitors 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:51.880 walking around saying mask up, where's your mask? It's embarrassing. 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.320 I honestly thought we were better than this as a country, 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.400 and I know that half of us are, but half 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.760 of us aren't, and maybe even a little more than 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.960 half right now, which is the problem. I mean, what 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.440 level of politicization are really talking about here. All you 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:07.680 have to do is go back and look at the 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:12.360 history of the biggest vaccine advocates today for mandates not 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.200 just take the vaccine. Look. I say it just so 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.080 I go on the record, because sometimes the libs will 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.040 come aft where you're at vax. I'm not anti vax 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.960 at all. I told my parents who are in high 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.680 risk age categories go get that vaccine as soon as 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.000 you can. It's worth it. That doesn't mean I think 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:28.520 that it's perfect. That doesn't mean that I don't think 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.520 it has side effects. But I do know that I 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.560 didn't want my seventy three year old dad, who's you know, 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.040 got some mileage on him, and you know he's in 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.280 good shape and good health, but I didn't want him 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.840 to play the odds on COVID. Me. I was willing 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.440 to play the odds, right me, not worried about it. 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.480 But you can't even have these adult discussions anymore. And 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.080 you know you can't because they'll have to admit how 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.960 politicized they are in this whole process. I mean, here's 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:59.360 Joy Reid, who's an astonishingly inept broadcaster. I mean, just 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.840 I don't even know what to say. Well, actually I do, 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:05.520 I talk about it a lot, but anyway, here she 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:10.440 is admitting that when Donald Trump was president, vaccines were bad, 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.360 and then when Joe Biden took over, vaccines were good. 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.000 I understand the hesitancy and wanted to listen. I was 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.520 hesitant when Donald Trump was out there controlling the CDC 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.840 and controlling the FDA and manipulating them and making them 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:27.200 put out falsehoods. Anybody rational was hesitant. But the reality 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:32.160 is now what I really fear is masses of more, 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.160 masses of people dying. Six hundred and sixty six thousand 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:39.119 people have died, and disproportionately they look like you and me, Michael. 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.120 And what scares me is that people are creating a 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:46.199 cultural imperative to set themselves up for death when the 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.480 people pushing them to do it, like Tuckham's, are vaccinated 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.919 and safe, and even if they got COVID, are going 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.919 to get all the monoclonial anybody's. They could give a 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.480 damn if Nicki Minaj gets COVID and dies. They don't 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.880 care about us. We don't want to anyone to die. 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:04.360 What is wrong with these libs? They have to convince 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:06.880 themselves that the other side, that our side are monsters. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.000 I don't want anyone dying from COVID, but I just 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.280 deal with the reality of a lot of people have 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:15.359 and some more will die from this. It is a pandemic, 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:19.680 It's a virus. This is reality. They can't stop it. 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.240 They thought they could, but they can't, and they're doing 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.240 a lot of damage in the process. But the first 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:29.399 thing we need to really come out of this is honesty. 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:33.560 We need people to be honest, and to say that 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:37.480 anyone likes COVID or wants COVID to spread, that's just reckless, 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:44.480 vicious stupidity. This is what we're up against, though. This 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.680 is the circumstance in which we find ourselves right now. 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:55.920 Speaking of health, Joe Biden is not exactly not exactly 0:18:55.960 --> 0:19:00.240 the picture of health and stamina these days, which is 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.359 not surprising. And you know that I always feel like 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:06.000 I don't I don't want to spend time on this 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:09.120 because sometimes I see Joe Biden. I remember, I mean, 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.359 my mom's dad, my grandfather, and my dad's side was 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:14.479 such a great as a World War two veteran served 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.320 on the USS Batan was at Late Gulf in the 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:20.840 Pacific and did so much good charity work as he 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.600 you know, throughout the years, helped so many people. There's 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:27.480 a school named after him for children with severe learning disabilities. 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.399 A great guy. And I just remember in his final years, 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:32.679 you know, we had to we had to take care 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:34.080 of him, you know, we had to put a blanket 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:35.840 over him or his knees, and we had to help 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:37.280 him move around. I mean, I remember. I mean I 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:38.480 didn't do much of it. It It was my mom and 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:40.960 her siblings, but I remember seeing him in that state. 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.359 And sometimes I see Joe Biden, I actually have I 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:46.880 have kind of flashbacks. I have moments of that. But 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.479 here's the difference. We had the patriarch of my family 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.080 on one side, who was who was beloved and respected 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.399 being taken care of by his loved ones in his 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:59.720 final years as it should be. Joe Biden's the commander 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.840 in chief. This guy is in charge of the United 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:06.080 States government. Sometimes I see him and I want to 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:08.359 put a blanket over his knees and give him some 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.760 crackers to feed the pigeons and maybe read him from 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:14.280 read him a storybook or something. But he's the president. 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:16.840 This is not the way it's supposed to be. And 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:22.320 his health is obviously of legitimate public concern. And here, 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.320 you know, because he's too old for the job, folks, 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.760 He's too old. There's too much mileage on this guy 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:31.920 for this. Even Kelly O'Donnell at NBC asked about it. 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:34.640 It's not a concern. We have a doctor who travels 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.119 with him obviously, who checks in if if there it 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:40.040 is ever warranted, and certainly that continues to be the 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.359 case as it has been since the beginning of his presidency. 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:45.879 Is there an extup so frequently in situations like that 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:48.840 where you saw it, I did. I don't think it's 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.320 an issue of concern. I think there are a range 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.679 of reasons why we may need it's a clear throat, 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:56.160 or we may have a little light cold, And that's 0:20:56.200 --> 0:21:01.520 certainly something that presidents, elected, officials, reporters, spoke, people can confront. 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:03.640 But it's not an era we have a medical concern 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.520 just being dishonest with you. I mean, we all we 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:12.240 all know, we all know that there are concerns, legitimate ones. 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:15.200 Remember all the stuff they said they had psychiatrists doing 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:21.760 analysis of Trump on TV. Remember that psychiatrists. Meanwhile, we 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:24.159 can all see that Biden is just not in a 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:28.040 place where he can really handle this anyway. Oh and 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:33.600 then there's there's gonna be some rally in DC. Libs 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.240 are all going to freak out about this. Very straightforward. 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:38.240 People show up and they want to exercise their free 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.359 speech rights, and they want to talk about how people 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:44.280 are held in solitary confinement for non violent crimes from 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:47.919 January sixth. Well, then that's the constitutional right that they have, 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:50.640 and that's fine, right, people break the laws. We don't 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.520 accept that you can't attack cops, can't do bad things. 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:55.080 And if people say stupid things that I don't even 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:56.399 know what they're gonna say at this rally they say 0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:58.000 dumb things of the rally, I'll say they're saying thumb 0:21:58.040 --> 0:21:59.800 things I don't know. But I'm also not spending a 0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:03.159 lot of time focused on this because there are more, much, 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:08.360 much more important things going on. But here's CNN's Ashley 0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:11.520 Allison referring to the people at this Saturday rally as 0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:16.359 the Taliban play nine. There is just a disconnect with reality. 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:19.560 We know Joe Biden won the election, and these folks 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:22.040 are showing up because on January sixth, there was a 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:24.840 group of people who wanted to overthrow our government and 0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:28.080 did not believe what actually voters decided to do. And 0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:30.560 then they're coming back on Saturday to make the point 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:34.040 a second time. But the thing that is so disgusting 0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:37.440 to me is the same Republicans who will not condemn 0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:42.880 Saturday's attendees or the rally are the same ones blasting 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:46.479 the Biden administration about Afghanistan. And when I look at 0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:49.200 the people who come on Saturday. I draw very close 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:52.760 parallels to the Taliban. They are people who don't have 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:55.520 respect for democracy. They are people who don't have respect 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.720 for diverging ideas. Look, as far as I know, Matt 0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:02.720 Brainerd is guy organizing this. He's like a very mild mannered, 0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:07.960 you know, nice guy. Which oh there's like the Taliban. No, 0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:11.600 there are people being held in solitary confinement for non 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:15.600 violent crimes because it's essentially a it's political persecution of 0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:17.840 them at this point. And if the rally is just 0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:21.280 going to have people pointing that out, then then they're 0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:23.440 absolutely right. But of course I have to be careful 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:26.280
