WEBVTT - How Federalism Helps Kill The Virus 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:15.480 You are entering the freedom hunt. President Trump wants to 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:19.040 put America back to work. There's a discussion now about 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.680 what risks are tolerable to get some economic activity. Going wow, 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.159 we continue to face off against this pandemic. Plus, the 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:29.440 House is set to pass this massive rescue bill. Is 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.000 one member going to stall it? And what's the latest 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:36.560 on China's effort to blame us for this massive global epidemic. 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:38.320 We're going to that and more coming up on the 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:42.360 Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexon Show, where 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.400 the mission or mission is to decode what really matters 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:52.760 with assionable intelligence. Make no mistake, you're a great American Again, 0:00:52.880 --> 0:01:03.560 the Buck Sexon Show begins. He's a great guy. No, Well, 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.199 I want those guidelines to go even when we're open 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:10.160 and fully operational, and frankly, much of the guidelines, like 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.360 shaking hands, maybe people aren't going to be shaking hands anymore. 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.440 You know. Tony had mentioned to me Tony Fauchais the 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.640 other day that I don't think he was would be 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.120 too upset with the concept of nut shaking hands. Who 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.520 was saying that the fluid cut down, the regular fluid 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.520 be cut down by quite a bit. If we didn't 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.440 do that, if we didn't shake hands, you know, the 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.520 regular flu, which you know you have a lot of 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.920 deaths and a lot of problems with it too. So 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.200 I think a lot of a lot of great things 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.280 are going to when we're open. Just so you just 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.920 to finish when we're open. As soon as we open. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.080 That doesn't mean you're going to stop with the guidelines. 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.480 You'll still try and distance yourself, maybe not to the 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.640 same extent, because you have to lead a life, welcome 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.240 the buck sex and show everyone. The President is saying 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.880 that this is exactly what well, it's really what I've 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:00.280 been saying for a week now, which is that we 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.760 have to accept at some point we're going to be 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.960 making decisions about this that don't involve just honkering down, 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:11.760 battening down the hatches, and refusing to go outside for 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.600 business for work purposes. This is something that now as 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.000 we continue to try to find ways to fight against 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:22.920 the coronavirus is gaining even more attraction. President saying, look, 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:28.000 we're going to have things in place that will continue 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:32.840 to lessen the spread of this virus. But the the 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.160 thirty day lockdown is doable, the three month lockdown is 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:40.200 painful and perhaps catastrophic. You go beyond that, and we're 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.560 not going to have an economy to restart. And people 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.120 are understanding that now now that we've seen three point 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:52.120 three about officially unemployed just from this past week. It 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.800 was a much greater understanding than there had been up 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:59.040 to this point, now that we see that the unemployment 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.000 roles are only going to go up. By the way, 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.920 it's not just that last week there was really high unemployment. 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.359 It's that in the weeks ahead, there is nothing but 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.320 one direction this will go in. You know, usually have 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:13.639 a bad, bad employment report and people will say, oh, well, 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.080 it'll rebound, maybe it was bad weather. We all know 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.800 this is just going to drop off a cliff. And 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.080 so that's why the President yesterday in his press conference 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.280 was trying to address some of his critics who are 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:30.040 saying that he's putting grandma's life in jeopardy for four 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.680 or one k Everyone is in jeopardy right now. The 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.760 economy is in jeopardy. This virus puts all of us 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.440 in jeopardy. I'm here in New York City in quarantine. 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.440 There is also a growing recognition that cities are in 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.440 a worse spot with this, if you are out in 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.839 areas of the country where you have a lot more 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.640 social distance just by virtue of the fact that you 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.400 have to deal with a lot fewer people on a 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.760 day to day basis. I mean, think about, just just 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.000 in case you haven't really gone through this, and I 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.800 know a lot of you who have. You know, more space, 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:02.880 more air around you. You already know this without me 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.960 telling you. But someone like me when I get down, 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.120 when I go on the subway, you're usually packed to 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.200 get into the subway. And this is the reality for 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.760 millions of New Yorkers, literally millions of people every day. 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.560 I think three million people are in the New York 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.880 City subway system every day. And this is why we 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.520 also have been we've been hit worse than other cities. 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.280 You look at Los Angeles. Yeah, people, the gym, you know, 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:31.520 the bar, the grocery store. There's certainly opportunities for infection. 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.159 And one of the big problems, as we're recognizing, is 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:38.240 infection in the home, which is why Governor Cuomo yesterday 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.239 and I'll get into this more later, is saying maybe 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.599 sending everybody home wasn't in fact the best idea. But 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.040 in New York city. We are packed like sardines. I 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.280 don't know why sardines are more tightly packed than other things, 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.599 but we are packed like sardines. And your shoulder to 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.919 shoulder on the way into the subway, you know, but 0:04:56.120 --> 0:05:00.000 to butt back to back on the subway crammed in there. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.120 Probably seen video footage of this. That's the reality. You 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.440 are as close to people. You are so close to 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:09.520 people every day that their bodies are pressed up against you, 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.560 and you just think that this is normal because this 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.640 is what everyone's doing. But you're actually in physical contact 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.440 with strangers every day, lots of them, every single day. 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:23.320 So that means that it's really easy. You gotta remember 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.000 every person you're in contact with, they're all going to 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.839 different places. They're all distributed around the city. You know. 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:32.599 The subway system alone is like a virus distribution system. 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.920 So that's important for everybody when we're thinking about how 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.040 we can get a handle on this disease and what 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.120 we can do. If you look at the places where 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.240 the greatest transmission happens, it's in very close quarters and 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.560 it's by touch, and all you need is one person 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.240 on a crowded subway car to sneeze let's say, and 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.279 those aerosol eyes droplets are there, and the subway is packed, 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.480 and you can infect a whole bunch of people. So 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:02.279 if you live in West Texas, if you live in 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.640 more outlying areas of Kansas, you know, places where I 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.559 know a lot of you who listen to the show 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:14.760 do live, you know, out in Oregon, not in Portland necessarily, 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:16.960 but the rest of the state. You don't have to 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:18.520 deal with as many people. So you're not seeing the 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.760 same degree of infections. And I think it's very possible 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:24.200 that you will not see the same degree of infection 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:28.240 anytime soon in those areas. That said, other cities are 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:33.080 getting hit pretty hard right now, New Orleans. It particularly 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:38.760 places that are a really large global tourism trade, you know, 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.440 destination places are getting hit really hard. You know, there's 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.920 a lot of concern over what's what's going to be 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.960 the final caseload. In places like Las Vegas, for example, 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.719 we have huge influx of tourists from all over the world, 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.799 and as we know, at least in the early stages 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.640 of this, there's a direct correlation. There's a direct line 0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:02.080 between travel from China, from Wuhan in particular, and the 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:07.640 areas around it. There's a direct correlation where those routes, 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.400 places and cities that have a lot of folks visiting 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.360 they got hit particularly hard. It's certainly the case with 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:18.520 Northern Italy where you have a massive influx of Chinese 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:22.320 nationals who for the Lunar New Year were traveling in particular, 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.920 but also because of the tech style industry in Northern Italy, 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.920 which is largely now run by and owned by a 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:34.560 lot of Chinese interests, it was just a perfect storm 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.280 for this virus. So the President is taking the approach 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.160 that he should here and I know that for a 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.120 few days there were a lot of libs who are 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.680 running around yelling about how if you even want to 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.880 have this conversation, you're doing so because you don't care 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:52.920 about Grandma. That's viciously aggressively stupid. And now we see 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:57.360 the experts, like even doctor Fauci, are saying, hey, guess what, 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.640 we are going to need to have a conversation about 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.920 what risks we take. And while we are taking risks, 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:09.240 there will be the possibility of rebounds that that's a 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.720 quote from doctor Fauci, rebounds of this virus. But the 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:17.520 alternative is just continued total lockdown, which other countries are 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.200 not going through that are dealing with this. You know, 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.800 South Korea is not in a state of absolute lockdown 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.360 the way that New York City is right now, and 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:29.320 the way that some other cities and states are. We're 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.280 also going to see a lot of tension between state 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:38.760 and local governments restricting travel, which you usually never see that, right, 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.280 I mean in this country. As much as producer Mark 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:42.880 and I might make jokes about the New York New 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.000 Jersey rivalry, there's never anybody in New Jersey who's like, 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:47.800 what are you doing crossing the river? You're supposed to 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.480 stay over there in New York. And you know, generally 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:51.920 we in New York are the ones are telling people 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.720 from New Jersey what are you doing? But nonetheless, right 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.760 now we're in a moment of absolute crisis, so much 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.080 so that you might have state authority, local authorities who 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.920 are saying no, no, no, you're not allowed to there's 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.800 no cross state, cross county travel unless you're in an 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:13.120 exempted situation. You're truck driver, you're you know, involved in 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:17.840 that life maintenance sector of the economy that's still open. 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.600 So this is why the patchwork approach. I guess you 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.880 could call it placed by place. County by county is 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.680 going to gain a lot of traction here soon because 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.640 we need areas that can have more commerce to do so, 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.160 we need to get the parts of our economy. We 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.800 are a very large country of three and twenty million people. 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.080 China has a billion people. Is China on lockdown the 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.520 whole country? No? Do we think that the Chinese government 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:46.199 is more adept at dealing with this? Do we think 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.839 that Chinese public health? One thing that I haven't talked 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.800 to you about before is there is a tremendous amount 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.839 and this does not really get you will not hear 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.439 about this from our media, But my contacts in China 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.520 have been talking to me in recent weeks about how 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.240 the Eastern medicine, which is the what we generally refer 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.160 to it as here, there's Eastern medicine that is really 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:14.400 very rudimentary and something more along the lines of which 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.720 you consider traditional and almost practices of magic. I don't 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.440 know what you would call it, but it's not base 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.959 really in science. That leads very much into these wet 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.760 markets in China where they're selling these different animals. Because 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.960 you might be thinking why why would anybody eat a 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.760 pangul in? They don't know what a taste like. Well, 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.959 in Eastern medicine, there are different animals and eating them 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.080 is considered. I mean, one of the more famous examples 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.480 as something they do with tigers and they make a 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.080 soup out of a part of a tiger. Rhinoceros horn. 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.840 This is another one that's very well known. Rhinoceros horn 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:49.360 is made out of keratin, the same thing that your 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.280 fingernails are made out of. And yet there is a 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.840 widespread belief across much of Asia. And I say widespread, 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.760 I'm not talking about people that are university professors in Beijing, 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:04.960 but among the less affluent educated populace of China in particular, 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.920 people think that this is a cure for different diseases. 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:12.079 And so that's just it's one I think instructive about 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.240 how we have these wet markets where you have one 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:18.000 hundred different wild animal species all brought together and inhumane 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:24.000 and deeply dangerous circumstances in terms of disease transmission. But 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.800 also the Chinese public health system is nowhere near our 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.320 public health system. You see them throwing together all these 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.040 hospitals really fast, Trust me, you don't want. If you 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.319 have a choice between being in a Chinese hospital being 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:38.160 an American hospital, the National Health Service in Britain is 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.120 a little scary. I'd probably rather be in Northern Italy, 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.160 but a European hospital, you'd much rather choose the latter. 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:48.199 So we'll get more into into China and what they're 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.880 doing right now, because their propaganda campaign is all out. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:53.599 I mean, they really think that they're going to be 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.960 able to rewrite the history of this pandemic and blame 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.400 it on America, and we may go back in time 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.400 and look at this historical moment as a point at 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:06.680 which the Chinese began to establish This is their plan 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:12.439 that they began to establish true global hegemony because we 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:16.839 over extend ourselves financially and they managed to blame us 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.680 in a lot of ways for this. You know, there 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.079 I'll go through, and I know it sounds crazy, but 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.840 remember the first goal of propaganda for an authoritarian regime 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.199 a communist country like China. It's not really communist, but 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.040 it's the Communist Chinese Party or Chinese Communist Party that 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.720 runs it. The first goal of their propaganda is to 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.120 convince their own people. Convincing all of us as much. 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.520 So many of the messages that you see being fired 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:44.080 out are meant to give ammunition to the toadies of 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.880 the regime back in China. Hey see, this is what 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.040 the authorities are saying about what happened in America, and 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.720 they're going at the Americans with this must be kind 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.640 of true, right, So we have that to discuss. We 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.840 also have this bill. I mean, there's there's a ton 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:01.160 of moving pieces happening right now. Massy Congressman Massey getting 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:05.040 a lot of heat over trying to slow things down 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.320 because he says there's a lot of pork in this 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:09.839 Absolutely true. There is a lot of pork in this bill. 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.840 There's no question that this is another example of Congress 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.520 being unable to put aside its parochial interests and just 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.280 be serious about things in the most serious moment this 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.200 country has faced. Look, this is worse than nine to eleven. 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:24.920 I mean, I'm somebody who joined the CIA because of 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.640 nine to eleven. I know all about the terrorist groups 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.160 that were going after us, not just on that day, 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.920 but four years and years afterwards. I know about plots 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:34.400 that have come to light since then. I know about 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.240 a lot of plots that didn't get that far along, 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.680 but that would have been catastrophic that people don't know about. 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:43.320 You know, there's there's really very little comparison in my 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.719 mind between now and then, because we knew we were 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.320 facing an enemy it was going to be rough, but 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.800 we knew we would win that, and we know we 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.440 will win this too. But the casualties that we face 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.719 here remained very much a big question. We were never 0:13:55.760 --> 0:14:00.720 going to have a mass casualty event fighting against realistically, 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:05.320 fighting against al Qaeda, fighting against Iraq or Afghanistan. It 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:09.400 just wasn't going to happen because of our military superiority here. 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.679 You know, I still think that the lower end of 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.559 the spectrum of losses is much more likely for us. 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.360 But there are circumstances. I mean, I've been reading, as 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.240 a lot of other people have, about the Spanish influenza 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.600 pandemic of nineteen eighteen, and there are circumstances where this 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.200 could get a whole lot worse. And get that control 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:30.240 what happens when the southern hemisphere goes into winter, by 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.480 the way, and you have countries with much less developed 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.560 public health systems that are much poorer but also have 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:40.000 serious population density. There are some places what happens when 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.200 they are faced with this, and how do we deal 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.080 with the rebound of it. But the rebound won't be, 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.120 i should say, the second wave. The rebound would just 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.600 be a minor an outbreak in addition of what we've 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:55.720 already seen here. Fauci addressed this yesterday. The second wave 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.480 would be what we would see in the fall when 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.200 this makes a comeback, which it will, so need to 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.480 get to that as well. But the fundamental point here 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:08.520 is that we now are we're waging two battles simultaneously, 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:13.200 all right. Two battles are underway, the fight against the virus, 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.960 to minimize casualties, to take care of as many Americans 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.240 as we can get the equipment out there. That's one. 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:23.600 The other is to understand the risks, take intelligent risks, 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.400 know that it won't be perfect. But we've got to 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:30.840 get out there and start going, start going forward with 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.160 economic activity so that we can do the first thing, 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.840 because this fight is going to extend for a long time. 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.000 Someone needs to feed and pay our medical personnel. Someone 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.880 needs to feed and and well, you know, give the 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.000 money to keep them fed. But we need to pay 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.400 for you know, people that are in our supply chain. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.880 Truck drivers, first responders, police fire, I mean, all the 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:56.560 all the officials that are holding civilization together right now. 0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:00.680 They rely on economic activity. Without that economic activity, they 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.000 can't do what they're doing to fight against the virus. 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.120 So now we've moved into that phase of recognition, even 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.560 before we've hit the biggest spike, which is going to 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:10.960 be within a couple of weeks. So, like I said, 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.000 team a lot to get to you today, So strap 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:17.920 in for it. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:25.000 the Buck Sexton Show podcast. This is Governor Greg Abbott 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.280 saying thank you to the truckers who are hauling all 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.480 the goods and supplies across the Texas that are so 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.480 desperately needed. Thank you for taking them to the grocery 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.880 stores so the other stores to make sure that all 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:39.800 the shoppers and Texas and our fellow Texans they have 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.200 these needs for the supplies that you're delivering, and they 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.400 wouldn't be there without you taking them there. Thank you 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.600 for your tireless work to make sure Texans will have 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.120 all the supplies they need. God bless our truckers and 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.360 God bless Texas. You know there's that saying attributed to 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:59.160 Napoleon that an army marches on its stomach. Well, if 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.520 we're in right now a war against a virus, we 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:04.760 also are marching on our stomachs and the only way 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.359 that we can keep them full is because of our 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.560 distro and supply chain, and truckers are the backbone of that. 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.680 I know, we have so many of you who listen 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:16.000 to this show, either on stations as you criss crossed 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.760 the country, are also on podcast. Thank you for doing 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:20.520 what you do, and you know, every day we'll try 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.680 to give some shout outs to the people that are 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.280 the reason why you know, here in New York City, 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:29.520 for example, which is so hardly, so hard hit by this. 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:34.160 Here in New York City, we only have grocery stores. 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.439 I mean, if the grocery stores started having shortages, you 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:40.120 would have panic and riots. So the people that are 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:44.320 delivering food to the stores here that are making sure 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.960 that you know, we still have groceries, you know, basic medicine, 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.840 household goods. And I understand that there's some concern too. 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:53.320 People have got to get out of the truck, they 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.240 got to unload. You know, no one wants to get sick. 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.160 We all understand, but they're keeping this country going. So 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.280 we are also an army in America against this virus 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.480 that marches on our stomach. And the people that are 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:07.600 delivering in and cooking and preparing food as well, people 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.159 that are still staying open, restaurants that are trying to 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:12.359 I mean it's bleak out there. I went for a 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:16.240 walk last night down one of the most crowded streets, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.639 I mean a place where usually you would be dodging 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:25.280 just tourists every two steps and street performers, and especially 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:29.000 this time year, no men's land. It was like crossing 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:33.600 over from English to German lines in Flanders in the 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:35.960 First World War. I mean, there was nothing out there. 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.320 Stores all shut down, some of them now boarded up 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.200 just in case. That's a little bit of an ominous sign. 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:45.920 But thank you for keeping all of you out there. 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.720 Thank you for keeping the stores stocked, because that is 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.159 essential right now. We've got to keep our medical providers 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.439 geared up, and we got to keep our stores stocked 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.399 or else we're gonna have even bigger problems. Thanks for 0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.280 listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.720 on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:07.479 your podcasts. I'm sure many of you saw the recent 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:13.639 report out of the UK about them adjusting completely their needs. 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.280 This is really quite important if you remember. That was 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.920 the report that said there would be five hundred thousand 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:23.119 deaths in the UK and two point two million deaths 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.959 in the United States. They've adjusted that number in the 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:30.560 UK to twenty thousand, so half a million to twenty thousand. 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:34.680 We're looking into this in great detail. To understand that adjustment, 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.280 I'm going to say something that's a little bit complicated, 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:39.040 but I'm going to try to do it in a 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.240 way that we can all understand it together. In the model, 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:46.679 either you have to have a large group of people 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.200 who are asymptomatic who have never presented for any test. 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.640 In order to have the kind of numbers that were 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.840 predicted to get to sixty million people infected, or of 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:01.719 six million people infected, you have to have a large 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.439 group of asymptomatics, because in no country to date have 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.560 we seen an attack rate over one in a thousand. 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:12.320 So either we're only measuring the tip of the iceberg 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:16.800 of the symptomatic cases, and underneath it are a large 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:19.960 group of people. So we're working very hard to get 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.760 that antibody test because that's a good way to figure 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.239 out who are all these people under here and do 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:30.400 they exist or we have the transmission completely wrong. So 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:34.320 these are the things we're looking at because the predictions 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:37.280 of the models don't match the reality on the ground 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:41.639 in either China, South Korea, or Italy. We are about 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:46.000 five times the size of Italy. So if we were 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:49.280 Italy and you did all those divisions, Italy should have 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:53.000 close to four hundred thousand deaths. They're not close to 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:55.840 achieving that. So these are the kinds of things we're 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:59.720 trying to understand. Models or models. The models do not 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:02.600 want up with what we've seen as reality so far. 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:07.280 That's doctor Deborah Burkes, who I think has become for 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:09.679 some people. I mean, it's Burkes and Fauci obviously who 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:12.520 are at the press conference that are both providing a 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:16.000 tremendous amount of really useful information, and by the information 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.359 is quite useful. We're all making decisions, at least in 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:21.800 particularly affected areas. I know for a lot of you, 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:25.040 this is mostly right now an economic issue because you're 0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:27.199 there are counties where there are zero cases of this 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:30.800 that are at least known so far, but understand that 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:34.000 there will be some cases in a whole lot more counties, 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:39.119 and the economic reality of what this is doing in 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.800 cities is something that affects the whole country. So that's 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.280 obviously why we're all in this together. Even if you're 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.760 in a place where you know, you see two people 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:49.720 a week outside your own family, and you don't think 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:53.520 that there's any real threat of of COVID infecting you know, 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:56.480 your township which has two hundred residents, right, So for 0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:58.639 those who are in areas like that, I understand you're 0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:01.960 looking at this like why do we have to Why 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:05.720 is has the response been as extreme as possible? And 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:09.199 the real turning point here was Italy, And honestly it 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:12.359 was that there were two moments that I saw where 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:15.880 my analysis of this had to ratchet up, and it 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:19.080 was when we first saw real data out of Italy, 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.240 and it was very you know, it's very hard with 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:23.919 China and looking at all the modeling, and you have 0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:26.440 so many different factors that come into play when people 0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:28.720 are talking about how bad this will be. There are 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:32.280 some who very clearly act with some degree of bad 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:35.240 faith and do not you know, that they want this 0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:38.640 to be on the worst side at least for the administration. 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:40.800 They want to make sure they can blame the administration, 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:42.520 and it needs to be pretty bad for that to 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:44.959 be the case. That's we've been aware of that from 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:47.640 the beginning. People have been blaming Trump from before there 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:50.400 was even a response. I was on the Bill mar 0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:53.320 Show and we had had not a single US death 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:55.840 from COVID nineteen and they're saying that Trump boxs the 0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.680 response and he's terrible and we're all going to die. 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:00.959 And I'm looking at them saying, I don't even understand 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:04.160 how we can have this conversation before we know what 0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:06.360 has happened. But you know, they hate Trump and that's 0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:08.440 all that really, that's all that really matters to them. 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:13.159 Is very difficult to make assessments, good assessments of this 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:15.240 based on the Chinese data, because we know the Chinese 0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:19.080 are lying, and we know that the Chinese Communist Party 0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:22.440 is ruthless. I mean, China is a modern state. It's 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.280 the second wealthiest country in the world now by GDP, 0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:29.680 and you know, China is a modern state that still 0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:34.400 has internment camps for the wagers in Western China. So 0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:37.680 we understand it's a deeply immoral country. I mean, now 0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:39.960 they execute people for corruption and no one even really 0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:41.840 knows what the person did. I mean, there's all kinds 0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:45.040 of It's a thugocracy, a really powerful one. In fact, 0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:46.720 it's very similar in a lot of ways to what 0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:51.080 you have in Russia, where instead in Russia it's concentrated 0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:54.600 in Putin and his circle of cronies, but it's really Putin. 0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:58.359 In China, it's just a committee instead of an individual, 0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:03.359 but really wields the same absolute power and authoritarianism. And 0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:05.920 so in the early days they were suppressing information coming 0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:08.080 out of China as much as they possibly could. So 0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:11.440 it's very hard to make real determinations. It wasn't until 0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:14.119 we saw what happened in Italy then it was okay, 0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.120 this is going to be a real threat to our 0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:20.480 elderly and immunosuppress populations. And then when President Trump said 0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:22.280 that we were doing the shutdown of all travel from 0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:24.400 Europe that night, that was another That was the other 0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:29.000 shoe dropping for me. All of that said, here we 0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:32.920 are now deeper into this crisis, and there are still 0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:36.560 people who are putting out what I would consider to 0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:40.800 be very irresponsible projections about what is likely to happen. 0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:45.560 What is possible to happen is not really relevant. What 0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:51.040 could theoretically occur is not something that should be widely publicized. 0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:53.919 You know, what could happen in any given year. A 0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:56.520 flu virus could mutate and all of a sudden, we 0:24:56.560 --> 0:24:59.600 have a global pandemic that comes out of nowhere. I 0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:03.320 mean that it happened tomorrow. So what could is not 0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:07.000 something that should get nearly the attention. But from the media. 0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:11.960 You have two very powerful impulses that affect so much 0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:13.840 of the way that they're doing their jobs right now. 0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:17.600 One is there is maybe it's subconscious, although I think 0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:21.040 in some it's conscious, but a desire for a catastrophe, 0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:24.600 for catastrophe that they can pin on President Trump. And 0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:29.440 also just the if it bleeds it leads concept on steroids, 0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:33.520 things that are scary get clicks. I can't tell you 0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:36.560 how many stories I see, and it's getting very annoying 0:25:37.480 --> 0:25:39.600 because I think it's so dishonest and it's just adding 0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:43.200 to everybody's anxiety. But you keep seeing these stories about, 0:25:43.240 --> 0:25:47.680 you know, healthy, healthy, forty two year old dies from 0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:50.920 COVID nineteen in some American city or you know, here 0:25:50.920 --> 0:25:53.199 in New York wherever, And then you read in and 0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:56.280 you find out, well, he's you know, he was somebody 0:25:56.280 --> 0:26:00.600 who had chronic emphysema and type one diabetes ease or something, 0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:02.000 and you go, okay, well, I mean, this is still 0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:04.480 a tragedy for this person in his family. But they're 0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:09.600 obviously overselling the risk to the healthy in the in 0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:12.040 the headline as a means of scaring even more people 0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:16.480 than are already scared. So there's a lot of irresponsible 0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:19.920 stuff going on, and doctor Burke's is trying to address 0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:23.040 that as best she can here by saying, look, we 0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:27.960 can't even All we do all day is try to 0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:29.879 look at what's happening and what we can do and 0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:33.399 how we can mitigate risk, and how we can anticipate 0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:37.480 things going even more badly in a certain area. And 0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:41.119 there's just no way that the projection of two million 0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:44.320 dead Americans based on this study in the UK and 0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:49.320 six hundred thousand dead Brits that attracts with what we're 0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:52.320 seeing right now already happened in Italy. Italy was essentially 0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:57.360 give this disease in a confined part of a densely 0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:02.040 populated country, give the disease a solid month of just 0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:05.400 total rampant spread, no one knows what's going on, and 0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:08.680 then try to deal with it. So we would think 0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:11.760 that that should be you know, the percentages on that 0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:15.720 would give us a real sense of worst case scenario. 0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:19.520 And even the Italian scenario doesn't add up to what 0:27:19.560 --> 0:27:21.480 the UK is seeing. And right now we're taking all 0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:25.359 these measures. I mean, you don't mean New York is 0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:27.560 the most crowded part of the United States, the dent 0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:31.200 most densely populated. If eight point six I think something 0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:33.040 like that million people to live here, it's a lot. 0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:37.040 And you can walk around the streets here and not 0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:40.520 coming to not be within ten feet of anybody, you know, easily. 0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:42.320 You can walk around the streets and not even so 0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:45.280 you can basically walk down the street, not the sidewalk, 0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:47.680 and cars there's only a few coming by. They'll just 0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:50.600 drive around you. That's where we already are, so clearly, 0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:52.760 I mean, I just bring that up because there's massive 0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:55.080 changes that are underway right now to limit the spread 0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:58.160 of this thing, and that's not really being taken into 0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:02.320 account by those initial moles that we saw. So I 0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:06.919 think that that's really important for everybody to remember. You know, 0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:09.800 there's also there are these scientists that have come out 0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:14.800 at at Stanford, super smart Stanford guys and not Unitas. 0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:17.880 I know, I feel like I pronounced that like producer Mark. 0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:21.200 Wasn't that a football coach or a player? Johnny United 0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:23.239 is just one of the best players of all time, right, 0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:25.360 one of the Okay, he's a player. Yeah, but this 0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:28.200 guy is like Eonitis. It's like a Greek name. It's 0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:31.280 not Nitis, you know, it's like something close. Anyway, he 0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:35.640 did the analysis of this that it wasn't really quite as, 0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:39.680 it wasn't going to be as deadly as everyone had 0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:42.480 been saying. And then you had two other people at Stanford, 0:28:42.520 --> 0:28:44.760 a medical researchers who have also crunched the numbers, and 0:28:44.760 --> 0:28:47.640 they've said that, look, we we ran this. We've run 0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:49.800 this experiment a little bit in Italy where you've had 0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:53.840 rampant spread among an elderly population and on a cruise ship. 0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:57.920 And you know, if this disease just spreads in a 0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:02.640 confined area, you're looking about one one percent fatality rate 0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:05.520 and maybe a ten to fifteen percent hospitalization rate something 0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:11.000 along those lines. Now, that would be just spreading entirely 0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:14.680 in a confined area with no mitigation measures, with no 0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.480 knowledge of social distancing or anything else that's going on. 0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:20.880 That's clearly not what we are clearly not what we're facing. 0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:25.560 And in truth, they're going to find out. There are 0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:26.920 a couple of things that are going on now. One 0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:30.280 is they're going to find out and most experts are 0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:32.480 saying this, and I and my gut believe this. So 0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:37.160 I'm going on expert knowledge here. I don't have expert knowledge, 0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:40.040 but I'm also telling you that this adds up for me, 0:29:40.080 --> 0:29:41.840 This makes sense for me, and I am the gun. 0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:45.360 I was reminded yesterday that I've been saying. I think 0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:47.440 it was in July or August when I was asked 0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:49.080 what keeps me up at night? And now I remember, 0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:51.920 and I said pandemic disease. And I've also a few 0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:54.280 times said these idiots that are worried about climate change 0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:56.680 should be worried about pandemic disease. I've said that in 0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:58.520 the last year. I mean, if those of you listen 0:29:58.560 --> 0:30:00.280 to the show enough, no that that's the truth. I'm 0:30:00.280 --> 0:30:02.360 just saying some of us knew that this was a problem. 0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:04.360 While the lunatics are running around saying the world was 0:30:04.360 --> 0:30:08.120 gonna melt because of cow farts. So stepping back for 0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:11.040 a second, here to what we've seen in the well, 0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:13.840 you know, with the overall numbers, because now you know 0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:17.720 CNN yesterday was doing this whole America has more cases 0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:20.360 than any other country. First of all, bull all right, 0:30:20.480 --> 0:30:24.120 we have more cases that we know about because China 0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:26.440 is trying to cook the books and they have been 0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:29.200 from the very beginning this People keep saying this is 0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:33.120 China's Chernobyl. Now Chernobyl was, and the you know, the 0:30:33.160 --> 0:30:34.920 show is very good, although aise I told you there's 0:30:34.920 --> 0:30:39.640 a lot of unnecessary poetic license they took. Radiation is 0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:42.880 not contagious from person to person. You know, someone doesn't 0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:45.000 get irradiated and then a week later they hugged their 0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:47.120 wife and the wife will die. That's not how it works. 0:30:47.600 --> 0:30:48.840 So I don't know why they had to do that. 0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:52.160 It's scary enough without doing that stuff. So but the 0:30:52.200 --> 0:30:55.760 reason that Chernobyl was so, you know, it is something 0:30:55.800 --> 0:30:58.200 that's so historically powerful in our memory. One because the 0:30:58.200 --> 0:31:01.920 show was actually quite good, quite well done, but also 0:31:02.360 --> 0:31:04.760 it was at the end, I mean, the Soviet Empire 0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:10.760 was already a sclerotic, crappy, inept rule of idiots, and 0:31:10.800 --> 0:31:13.400 so that just made everyone think, these these morons can't 0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:16.040 do anything right, you know, and you have the Soviet 0:31:16.080 --> 0:31:19.160 Afghan War, same idea. These idiots can't even they can't 0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:23.840 even you know, with throwing everything they've got at these mujahideen, 0:31:23.880 --> 0:31:25.880 they can't even beat them. They got Chernoble, I mean, 0:31:25.880 --> 0:31:27.760 they just look like a bunch of morons, which they were. 0:31:28.880 --> 0:31:31.800 And so that's how the Soviet Polite Burrow and the 0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:34.440 Soviet you know, High Committee and all that fell. And 0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:38.880 you have in China a much bigger issue than Chernobyl 0:31:39.000 --> 0:31:43.360 really that people are saying, maybe this is a risks. 0:31:43.360 --> 0:31:45.640 On the one hand, it's an opportunity for China depending 0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:48.280 on how bad it is for America. But there's also 0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:52.600 the systemic risk to Chinese, the Chinese Communist Party's power 0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:55.920 that is going to put people on edge over there 0:31:55.960 --> 0:31:58.640 for a while because there must be enough people who 0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:00.880 know about Then there's also why that's a press information 0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:04.040 and why you know the wee chat app that everyone 0:32:04.120 --> 0:32:07.400 uses over there, and there's so much censorship that goes 0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:10.200 on because if people knew the truth about the Chinese government. 0:32:10.200 --> 0:32:12.000 They'd say, why do we have these morons in charge? 0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:15.480 They're vicious and corrupt and they're not even good at 0:32:15.760 --> 0:32:19.160 You'd think that a high tech totalitarian regime would be 0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:23.320 best placed to deal with a pandemic like this and 0:32:23.360 --> 0:32:27.120 to stifle it. But you know, in Singapore you have 0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:30.760 essentially a benevolent authoritarianism and they will stifle this thing 0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:36.800 pretty quickly. In China you have a dictatorial and vicious totalitarianism, 0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:40.000 and they were not able to stop this thing. So 0:32:40.360 --> 0:32:43.240 I'm a big believer though, in us getting more information 0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:47.520 that will calm people I think a bit going forward, 0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:52.720 not calm them entirely, but will help help us understand 0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:54.800 the real scope of this thing and where it's all going. 0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:59.320 I'll get into some of that. You're in the Freedom Hunt. 0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:06.360 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Do we know 0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:09.880 yet if getting Corona and surviving Corona means that you 0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:11.720 are now immune to the disease or is there a 0:33:11.800 --> 0:33:15.280 chunks of reinfection. We don't know that for one certain 0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:18.240 because we haven't done the study to see rechallenges whether 0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:21.320 they've been protected. But I feel really confident that if 0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:24.920 this virus acts like every other virus, that we know 0:33:25.600 --> 0:33:29.760 once you get infected, get better clear the virus, that 0:33:29.920 --> 0:33:33.120 you'll have immunity that will protect you against reinfection. So 0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:35.160 it's never one hundred percent, but I'd be willing to 0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:39.680 bet anything that people who recover are really protected against reinfection, 0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:43.640 Doctor Fauci laying it down there. Obviously essential to know 0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:47.720 that there would be immunity after an infection of this disease, 0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:50.480 and that's because they're working on a test now and 0:33:50.520 --> 0:33:53.160 an a body test that would let you know you 0:33:53.240 --> 0:33:55.240 might have had this and not known. You know, I 0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:57.280 had a really bad cold at the end of December, 0:33:57.320 --> 0:33:59.800 for example. I think that's probably too early for this, 0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:02.320 but maybe I just thought it was a really bad cold, right. 0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:03.920 I'm sure some of you have the same thing when 0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:06.120 they look at the testing, even in South Korea where 0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:08.400 they've done all this testing, and we've done more testing 0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:10.320 in eight days in South Korea did in eight weeks. 0:34:10.320 --> 0:34:11.960 The President has been bringing that up in the last 0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:16.680 couple of days. But ninety four percent of tests where 0:34:16.719 --> 0:34:20.800 people had symptoms in South Korea it was not coronavirus. 0:34:20.880 --> 0:34:23.520 It's a cold, or it's the flu. But there's obviously 0:34:23.560 --> 0:34:28.000 a lot of crossover in the symptoms. So if you 0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:30.479 can find out if you have had this and didn't 0:34:30.480 --> 0:34:33.320 even realize it, then that takes a tremendous amount of 0:34:33.320 --> 0:34:35.920 strain off you. Assuming that you have immunity, which is 0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:38.040 the point he's getting to here, now you can go 0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:39.879 around and you don't have to worry. And it also 0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:42.120 means you could be around if they've proven you've got 0:34:42.120 --> 0:34:44.120 immunity now from this, which they're going to be finding 0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:47.480 out soon. He's basically saying it's ninety nine percent. But 0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:51.279 if you get immunity, then that means that you could 0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:53.879 be going back to work, going around, you know, people 0:34:53.880 --> 0:34:55.840 who are elderly and not worried because you wouldn't be 0:34:55.840 --> 0:34:58.600 at risk of infecting them because you'd be protected from 0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:01.480 being an infected because you've already been infected. Now, this 0:35:01.560 --> 0:35:04.120 is this is the case. This is basic immunology stretching 0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:07.120 back to the earliest days of vaccination and how that 0:35:07.120 --> 0:35:09.799 whole process works. I'm just gonna say this right now. 0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:13.840 Though you know you heard doctor Fauci there if he said, like, 0:35:14.040 --> 0:35:15.759 I'm very very common, and this is a guy who 0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:18.520 doesn't he doesn't blow you know, smoke and sunshine or 0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:21.120 you know, sunshine and rainbows, smoke and sunshine. That wouldn't 0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:25.120 be good sunshine and rainbows at people. But you've heard 0:35:25.200 --> 0:35:28.520 doctor Fauci there. He was very clear about it. And 0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:32.120 I'm just gonna say this, if we end up finding 0:35:32.160 --> 0:35:35.200 out and this is just my belief, this is my analysis, 0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:38.200 But if we find out that somehow this virus is 0:35:38.239 --> 0:35:40.719 like the only virus that doctor Fauci has ever heard 0:35:40.760 --> 0:35:43.640 of really where you don't have respiratory infection like this, 0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:46.200 where you don't have immunity, afterwards, I'm just gonna go 0:35:46.200 --> 0:35:47.680 on record and say, if we find out you don't 0:35:47.719 --> 0:35:50.480 have immunity, this was engineered in a Chinese lab, no 0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:52.960 question in my mind, there's no there's no way, you know, 0:35:53.000 --> 0:35:55.080 there's too many pieces that would have to be good. Now, 0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:56.719 I don't think that's going to end. It be in 0:35:56.760 --> 0:35:58.040 the case, and I think of the really good news 0:35:58.120 --> 0:35:59.719 is we will have immunity. But I just want to 0:35:59.760 --> 0:36:01.600 go on record now, for some reason, this is the 0:36:01.640 --> 0:36:04.840 one of a thousand for viruses where you don't get immunity. 0:36:05.000 --> 0:36:07.120 It's because the Chinese built this thing and the monster 0:36:07.320 --> 0:36:10.000 got out and is attacking all of us. Thanks for 0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:13.799 listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe 0:36:13.800 --> 0:36:17.319 on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get 0:36:17.320 --> 0:36:21.080 your podcasts. We have to get back to work. Our 0:36:21.120 --> 0:36:22.919 people want to work. If they want to go back, 0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:27.560 they have to go back. And we're going to be 0:36:27.560 --> 0:36:30.440 talking about dates. We're going to be talking with a 0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:34.200 lot of great professionals. But this is a country that 0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:38.440 was built on getting it done and our people want 0:36:38.440 --> 0:36:40.719 to go back to work. I'm I'm hearing it loud 0:36:40.760 --> 0:36:45.359 and clear from everybody. So we'll see what happens. We're 0:36:45.360 --> 0:36:48.799 gonna have a lot more information early next week and 0:36:48.840 --> 0:36:52.200 we'll be reporting that back. But I just want to 0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:55.120 leave it with you. We have to go back. This 0:36:55.239 --> 0:36:57.799 is the United States of America. They don't want to 0:36:57.800 --> 0:37:01.440 sit around and wait, and they'll be practicing. And by 0:37:01.520 --> 0:37:03.960 the way, a lot of people misinterpreted when I said 0:37:04.000 --> 0:37:07.359 go back. They're going to be practicing as much as 0:37:07.400 --> 0:37:11.719 you can social distancing and washing your hands and not 0:37:11.880 --> 0:37:14.239 shaking hands and all of the things that we talk 0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:16.319 about so much. But they have to go back to work. 0:37:16.320 --> 0:37:19.320 Our country has to go back. Our country is based 0:37:19.360 --> 0:37:24.600 on that. The President gets it. His critics are piling 0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:28.280 on him for this, getting so angry at him. It's absurd. 0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:32.120 He understands what's at stake here. There will not be 0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:35.399 an economy. Think of it this way because the war 0:37:35.440 --> 0:37:39.320 analogy here can be very helpful. Obviously, war against a 0:37:39.400 --> 0:37:43.200 virus is not war against enemy human beings. But when 0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:45.840 you think of a war, what would happen if you 0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:50.520 destroy your industrial base. We have the best military, the 0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:53.960 best fighting men and women on the planet, right we 0:37:54.400 --> 0:37:57.200 know that we do. We have the best military and 0:37:57.440 --> 0:38:01.279 obviously the most capable and powerful military in the history 0:38:01.320 --> 0:38:03.200 of the planet, which is a pretty extraordinary thing when 0:38:03.239 --> 0:38:08.360 you think about it, right, But if our military was 0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:12.000 told to go out and fight against an enemy without ammunition, 0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:18.759 without uniforms, without communications, medical equipment, etc. They wouldn't be 0:38:18.800 --> 0:38:22.080 able to win. The same is true of the economy 0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:24.840 that we have here and the industrial base that's dependent 0:38:24.880 --> 0:38:27.880 upon economic activity in defeating this virus. That's why they 0:38:27.920 --> 0:38:30.080 both have to happen. And some of us who have 0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:32.760 a better strategic sense have been saying this from the beginning, 0:38:32.800 --> 0:38:35.120 while other people are saying, you want grandma to die, 0:38:35.280 --> 0:38:37.359 which is such a horrible and offensive thing to say. 0:38:37.360 --> 0:38:41.440 But Nonetheless, it is a combination of people being afraid, 0:38:41.480 --> 0:38:45.200 but also a combination of individuals who feel the need 0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:47.719 right now to establish that they're better than other people, 0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:50.960 the virtue signaling. I have people who tell me who 0:38:50.960 --> 0:38:53.600 aren't even in New York, that I don't have any 0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:56.000 skin of the game of blue check journals, that I 0:38:56.000 --> 0:38:59.080 don't understand the pain people are going through. Really, I'm 0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:01.840 the one who's getting notices all the time from my 0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:06.759 favorite restaurants, from friends of mine that they're either out 0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:09.560 of work, that their business is shut down, that they 0:39:09.600 --> 0:39:12.719 can't go outside, that everyone's scared, they're all frightened for 0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:15.040 their parents. You know one thing about New York. If 0:39:15.040 --> 0:39:18.400 you're not here, you may not know. Yeah, there's a 0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:21.080 fair number of New Yorkers who go down to Florida 0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:23.120 as the typical place the New Yorkers go to retire. 0:39:23.239 --> 0:39:27.319 But a lot of people, multigeneration families are here in 0:39:27.360 --> 0:39:31.800 this city. I'm here, my parents are here, My grandparents 0:39:32.200 --> 0:39:35.799 on one side were here, My great grandparents when they 0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:39.799 were alive, were here. I mean so, But for a 0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:41.799 lot of New Yorkers, not only is this hit home 0:39:41.840 --> 0:39:44.080 for them because they're in quarantine but they know they've 0:39:44.120 --> 0:39:48.640 got even if they themselves are in lower risk cohorts 0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:51.120 in terms of their age, they know that there are 0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:53.279 other people that they care very much about who are here, 0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:56.080 care about more than anything, and they want to make 0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:58.279 sure that they're safe. So this is as realistic gets 0:39:58.320 --> 0:40:00.960 for all of us who are in the of this storm. 0:40:01.440 --> 0:40:05.239 The President understands that he's a New Yorker too. He 0:40:05.320 --> 0:40:07.840 has friends and loved ones and people that matter to 0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:10.440 him all across the country in a sense, but here 0:40:10.560 --> 0:40:13.080 in New York City is his home right, So he 0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:15.400 knows this, and I do think that he's trying to 0:40:15.400 --> 0:40:18.560 do as much as he can to get us back 0:40:18.600 --> 0:40:23.880 to work as quickly as he can. And this is 0:40:23.920 --> 0:40:26.120 just one of these times where we're going to have 0:40:26.160 --> 0:40:28.000 to listen to the voices that we know are coming 0:40:28.040 --> 0:40:31.200 at this in good faith and have a strategic mind, 0:40:31.360 --> 0:40:33.440 have vision for the future. Those of us that are 0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:37.160 pushing for more economic activity are looking ahead to what 0:40:37.239 --> 0:40:41.040 happens in two months while also understanding what's going on 0:40:41.080 --> 0:40:44.200 over the next two weeks. I'm not dismissing at all, 0:40:44.400 --> 0:40:48.719 but you don't want to win this battle against the 0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:52.080 virus spike, right now at the expense of losing the 0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:55.759 war of America still being a functioning economy that can 0:40:55.800 --> 0:40:59.120 support all the rest of life, including all the other 0:40:59.120 --> 0:41:01.200 health issues that come together. So I think I've made 0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:03.160 I think I've made my case to you on this. 0:41:03.200 --> 0:41:05.480 For now, We'll have to continue to see where the 0:41:05.600 --> 0:41:10.000 data leads us, what it says about the future of 0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:14.120 where we'll be able to open up in this country. 0:41:14.280 --> 0:41:16.040 I think you're going to see this left to the 0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:20.120 states and to cities, and that's going to be very 0:41:20.160 --> 0:41:23.600 interesting because there is already a dynamic that is forming 0:41:23.719 --> 0:41:26.480 right now of more rural and more red areas of 0:41:26.480 --> 0:41:29.400 the country that are that are less impacted by this 0:41:29.560 --> 0:41:32.440 less affected, not unaffected, but less affected by the spread 0:41:32.440 --> 0:41:35.239 of the virus. And they're saying, let us get back 0:41:35.280 --> 0:41:39.760 to work. We understand social distancing, we understand the precautions 0:41:39.840 --> 0:41:41.799 to prevent this from spiraling out of control in our 0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:44.920 area too. Let us get back to work. Our hospitals 0:41:44.920 --> 0:41:48.319 aren't overwhelmed, so that we can be a productive part 0:41:48.440 --> 0:41:52.279 of the economy and pushing the country forward. While New 0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:55.080 York is stockpiling ventilators and trying to deal with the 0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:58.480 influx of patients it already has, while Los Angeles and 0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:02.240 New Orleans and my me in other places are recognizing 0:42:02.320 --> 0:42:05.799 that they're also about to get hit pretty hard with this. Right, 0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:08.960 So this debate will be very interesting and you'll see 0:42:09.480 --> 0:42:12.960 state and local leadership matter into a lot of us 0:42:13.000 --> 0:42:14.839 a lot more. You know, usually your state and local 0:42:14.920 --> 0:42:18.000 leadership well, I guess depends on where you are, but 0:42:18.080 --> 0:42:20.680 usually it's gonna You're worried about are they taxing you? 0:42:20.840 --> 0:42:23.800 How are this how's this school system? They don't generally 0:42:23.840 --> 0:42:26.359 make decisions that have power of life and death over you. 0:42:26.360 --> 0:42:28.600 You don't think if you're governor. I know governors can 0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:32.440 give someone clemency who's on death row for state charges, 0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:34.680 but you don't usually think of a governor as making 0:42:34.800 --> 0:42:37.359 life and death decisions. If you did, I don't think 0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:39.520 i'd live in New York. I'd probably moved to Texas. 0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:42.400 Which maybe this is another moment where I realize, Buck, 0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:45.600 it's time to move to Texas. You folks in Austin, KLBJ, 0:42:45.840 --> 0:42:47.920 do do you guys have some you guys have some 0:42:48.000 --> 0:42:50.720 room for a good patriot service country in the past 0:42:50.760 --> 0:42:53.480 and wants to come hang out with some folks You 0:42:53.520 --> 0:42:55.320 know there's a whole bunch of plays. You know, Denver. 0:42:55.640 --> 0:42:58.560 What about Denver? I love Denver. Maybe you got room 0:42:58.600 --> 0:43:01.040 for me. I know that's not a particularly conservative city, 0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:03.240 but I hear wonderful things about it. And we've obviously 0:43:03.239 --> 0:43:05.880 got a great, great group of people listening to us 0:43:05.880 --> 0:43:09.560 in the Denver area. Team Buck Denver is going strong. 0:43:09.680 --> 0:43:11.799 So maybe that's where we gotta I don't know, profcer Mark, 0:43:11.840 --> 0:43:13.399 we might have to bust out a map and start 0:43:13.480 --> 0:43:16.800 thinking about what the escape, what the escape hatches for NYC. 0:43:17.400 --> 0:43:21.919 You already know my thoughts. Anywhere without state income tax Florida, Yeah, yeah, 0:43:21.960 --> 0:43:25.719 well Florida, Texas, that works. I think Tennessee also doesn't have. 0:43:26.040 --> 0:43:27.840 I just I was in Nashville for a weekend. I 0:43:27.920 --> 0:43:31.839 love that place. There's premiere studios in Nashville there. Oh, 0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:34.239 we got a lot of studios in Nashville. We're gonna 0:43:34.280 --> 0:43:35.600 have a lot. I think there's gonna be a whole 0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:38.200 a little lot more development of all kinds going on there. 0:43:38.719 --> 0:43:41.880 So you're going to see some differences at the state 0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:46.719 level and how this plays out. Governor Cuomo, who's been 0:43:46.760 --> 0:43:49.320 getting a lot of attention for his daily brief things 0:43:49.360 --> 0:43:51.920 mostly for his demeanor in them and for the lack 0:43:52.000 --> 0:43:54.560 of the petty garbage. I mean, Deblasio has I've been saying, 0:43:54.560 --> 0:43:57.520 he's just, oh my gosh, we're all gonna die. Deblasio 0:43:57.560 --> 0:44:01.879 is horrible. He's absolutely horrible. Cuomo has been like, look, 0:44:02.080 --> 0:44:04.720 we're on it, we're dealing with it. We'll do our best. 0:44:04.880 --> 0:44:07.359 You know, he's kind of a little more, a little more, 0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:09.120 you know, he's been more even keeled about it as 0:44:09.120 --> 0:44:11.239 I've been saying. He's done a good job for what's 0:44:11.239 --> 0:44:12.920 going on here, and he's under a lot of stress. 0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:16.640 It's real, Okay, he's a New Yorker, he understands. Here's 0:44:16.640 --> 0:44:18.200 what he says about the Because I want to talk 0:44:18.200 --> 0:44:20.239 about this bill, I don't want to spend too much 0:44:20.320 --> 0:44:23.439 time on it because we kind of know a lot 0:44:23.480 --> 0:44:26.040 of what's going on here. It's a usual Washington shenanigans. 0:44:26.040 --> 0:44:29.279 Here's what he's saying. Play clip five. I'm sorry. Play 0:44:29.280 --> 0:44:34.080 clip six. The congressional action, in my opinion, simply failed 0:44:34.320 --> 0:44:38.560 to address the governmental need. I've spoke to all the 0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:43.200 officials involved. I spoke to our House delegation, I spoke 0:44:43.239 --> 0:44:47.640 to our senators, and I believe what they did failed 0:44:47.760 --> 0:44:50.880 to meet the governmental need. I'm disappointed, I said, I 0:44:50.960 --> 0:44:56.280 was disappointed. I find it irresponsible. I find that reckless 0:44:56.680 --> 0:45:03.080 emotion is a luxury, and we don't have the luxury 0:45:03.800 --> 0:45:07.960 at this time of being emotional about what they did. 0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:11.320 When this is over, I promise you I'm going to 0:45:11.440 --> 0:45:13.840 give them a piece of my mind. But I would 0:45:13.840 --> 0:45:18.080 say to them today, this is an extraordinary time in 0:45:18.120 --> 0:45:21.759 this nation, and it's an extraordinary time for government. This 0:45:21.880 --> 0:45:26.520 was the time to put politics aside, in partisanship aside. 0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:30.680 This is the time for governmental leaders to stop making 0:45:30.800 --> 0:45:39.520 excuses and just do your job. Okay, here's what's really 0:45:39.560 --> 0:45:41.640 going on. And some of that, you know, just do 0:45:41.719 --> 0:45:43.440 your job. They'll make it say okay, well that's we 0:45:43.560 --> 0:45:45.400 expect that. That's what people will say about this, But 0:45:45.600 --> 0:45:50.200 here's what's really going on. States are supposed I think 0:45:50.200 --> 0:45:52.360 a lot of states have balanced budgets are supposed to 0:45:52.360 --> 0:45:56.200 have balanced budgets under understate law. I don't know how many, 0:45:56.200 --> 0:45:57.319 but I do think there are a number of them 0:45:57.320 --> 0:46:02.400 to do. As we know, the state and federal income 0:46:02.400 --> 0:46:05.359 tax day has been pushed back to I believe it's 0:46:05.400 --> 0:46:07.799 for all states to income tax days and pushed back 0:46:07.840 --> 0:46:12.040 to July fifteenth, which means what happens to states and 0:46:12.080 --> 0:46:16.279 their budgets. States rely, a lot of them rely, yeah, 0:46:16.320 --> 0:46:21.280 on property taxes, but also on tax of sales, tax, 0:46:21.320 --> 0:46:25.560 tax of goods and transactions. And guess what they're looking 0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:28.920 at massive short falls now. And a state like New 0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:30.719 York in particular, is going to have huge short falls. 0:46:30.719 --> 0:46:33.120 I'm assuming there'll be others as well. Here's what I 0:46:33.120 --> 0:46:35.520 don't know people are listening to this. You're you're in Texas, 0:46:35.920 --> 0:46:39.759 you're in North Carolina, you're in Minnesota, you're in Indiana, 0:46:39.880 --> 0:46:42.080 you're in you know, California is going to the same problems, 0:46:42.200 --> 0:46:43.920 but you're in some places that probably aren't going to 0:46:43.960 --> 0:46:47.600 get hit as badly with this problem. But here's what's 0:46:47.600 --> 0:46:51.560 going to happen, right when you have this just this 0:46:51.719 --> 0:46:57.200 perception of the federal government dumping loads of cash out 0:46:57.239 --> 0:47:01.000 of helicopters onto people. And in a sense, that is 0:47:01.000 --> 0:47:03.160 what is going on, and that is necessary. People that 0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:05.759 lost their jobs because the government said you don't have 0:47:05.800 --> 0:47:08.600 a job anymore because of a disease that has nothing 0:47:08.680 --> 0:47:10.759 to do with you. The government's got to take care 0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:12.960 of those people, right. This is this you know, it'd 0:47:12.960 --> 0:47:15.040 be the same way that you know, if we got 0:47:15.120 --> 0:47:17.280 as I said, we got invaded by a foreign power 0:47:17.920 --> 0:47:19.640 and the government had to spend a whole lot of 0:47:19.640 --> 0:47:22.040 money and send a black Hawk and a whole bunch 0:47:22.040 --> 0:47:24.359 of highly trained seals or something to go get you 0:47:24.400 --> 0:47:27.799 because the bad guys had captured you. That's what government does. 0:47:28.520 --> 0:47:30.920 So that's why that's why we pay taxes, right, That's 0:47:30.960 --> 0:47:34.160 why we have these systems in place. So what we're 0:47:34.160 --> 0:47:38.160 going to see, though, is this dumping cash mentality, which 0:47:38.239 --> 0:47:41.720 is clearly evident in the way that this bill has gone. 0:47:41.719 --> 0:47:45.240 And as I go to air, Massey is still thinking about, 0:47:45.280 --> 0:47:49.200 I think, slowing down this process because he's upset about it, 0:47:49.239 --> 0:47:52.520 and people are saying, is it a conservative principle? Stand no, 0:47:52.680 --> 0:47:55.200 I'm sorry, I don't think in my opinion, if you 0:47:55.239 --> 0:47:59.759 want to know, you know, Congress and Massa Kentucky is 0:48:00.400 --> 0:48:02.840 saying that he might insist on a quorum and that 0:48:02.840 --> 0:48:05.520 wo basically would slow the whole process down. To make 0:48:05.520 --> 0:48:07.359 a point here that there's too much pork in this. 0:48:08.480 --> 0:48:12.560 In my opinion, you don't lecture somebody on the Constitution 0:48:12.600 --> 0:48:14.759 while their house is burning down. And that's what's going 0:48:14.760 --> 0:48:17.719 on right now. Now. I'm not saying that you can't 0:48:18.120 --> 0:48:20.600 be critical of what's happened. I'm critical of it. I 0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:22.840 think Massey should be critical, but I don't think that 0:48:22.880 --> 0:48:24.959 it's I think it's kind of productive to slow down 0:48:25.600 --> 0:48:30.279 in any way. People are desperate for cash now. They 0:48:30.320 --> 0:48:34.480 need that money now, and they're going to be making decisions. 0:48:34.560 --> 0:48:37.880 Businesses and individuals who're making decisions based upon what is 0:48:37.880 --> 0:48:40.319 in their bank account next week when rent is due, 0:48:41.160 --> 0:48:43.719 so to say, oh, let's sort of wait and we'll 0:48:43.800 --> 0:48:48.040 see and you know, no, I'm sorry, that is not 0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:51.600 something that I can you know, I can get behind it. 0:48:51.680 --> 0:48:55.200 And also well we'll get into some of some of 0:48:55.200 --> 0:49:01.560 the other criticism that's out there about this, but it's 0:49:02.000 --> 0:49:04.719 it's shocking, and it's not shocking, right, I mean, as 0:49:04.719 --> 0:49:06.799 a human being, you're like, how could anybody use this 0:49:06.840 --> 0:49:13.319 moment for the ex exploitative means that they are, But 0:49:13.560 --> 0:49:15.640 you also know that this is this is the way 0:49:15.640 --> 0:49:19.279 our government functions now. Things only really seem to get 0:49:19.320 --> 0:49:21.760 done in a crisis. Things only seem to get done 0:49:22.480 --> 0:49:26.200 when it shouldn't be about politics. That's when it's really 0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:33.880 about politics. It's a switch Colo conundrum. Here is Manuchin 0:49:34.000 --> 0:49:36.640 telling us that the checks are going to go out. 0:49:36.760 --> 0:49:39.520 Here's what he says, Secretary of the Treasury, play nine. 0:49:39.960 --> 0:49:42.560 And I want to thank the Senate for their swift action. 0:49:43.160 --> 0:49:46.680 People literally worked around the clock for five days, and 0:49:46.840 --> 0:49:49.480 the President and I and others couldn't be more placed 0:49:49.480 --> 0:49:53.239 with the absolute unanimous support on a bipartisan basis to 0:49:53.280 --> 0:49:56.440 get this done. In regards to the checks I announced 0:49:56.520 --> 0:50:00.600 yesterday from the White House press conference, first all, most 0:50:00.600 --> 0:50:02.600 of these will be direct deposits, so we call them 0:50:02.680 --> 0:50:05.160 checks on the mail, but most movie direct deposits. It'll 0:50:05.200 --> 0:50:08.320 be within three weeks. We are determined to get money 0:50:08.360 --> 0:50:12.560 in people's pocket immediately, so that will be within three weeks. 0:50:13.560 --> 0:50:16.880 It seems pretty straightforward. Ryan, What are the objections that 0:50:16.960 --> 0:50:20.239 Democrats had, Remember when Pelosi was slowing the whole thing up. Well, 0:50:20.239 --> 0:50:25.160 we'll need to get to that. You're in the Freedom Hunt. 0:50:25.480 --> 0:50:31.960 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Oh, we did 0:50:32.040 --> 0:50:34.760 jiu jitsu on it that it went from a corporate 0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:38.600 first proposal that the Republicans put forth in the Senate 0:50:39.320 --> 0:50:44.319 to a worker's first, democratic workers first legislation. But let's 0:50:44.320 --> 0:50:47.200 first back up, because I was coming here. I saw 0:50:47.280 --> 0:50:51.200 that nearly a thousand deaths in the United States nine 0:50:51.239 --> 0:50:53.680 hundred yesterday, So I don't know what the numbers today, 0:50:54.200 --> 0:50:57.680 but they're saying nearly a thousand deaths in our country, 0:50:58.200 --> 0:51:01.760 tens of thousands of people. Our Kate, we had tens 0:51:01.760 --> 0:51:06.560 of thousands of cases. This is a pandemic that we 0:51:06.640 --> 0:51:09.799 haven't even seen since for over one hundred years in 0:51:09.920 --> 0:51:14.279 our country. It's really such such a tragedy, so we 0:51:14.360 --> 0:51:17.920 had to take important action. We had to take action 0:51:17.960 --> 0:51:21.560 though that puts families first and workers first, and that's 0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:24.000 what we did when we did our first legislation. The 0:51:24.040 --> 0:51:28.840 first two bills were about addressing the emergency directly. She 0:51:29.080 --> 0:51:34.960 is shameless, isn't she just shameless? Ju jitsu? Nancy Pelosi 0:51:35.080 --> 0:51:37.120 jiu jitsu? No, that would be even more fun to 0:51:37.160 --> 0:51:41.759 watch than a Ruth Bader Ginsberg super fierce workout with kettlebells. 0:51:42.480 --> 0:51:45.040 But but Pelosi is convinced that she got something here. 0:51:45.080 --> 0:51:47.160 I'm not really sure what you think she got other 0:51:47.200 --> 0:51:52.440 than repudiation people saying, what the heck are you thinking? 0:51:53.080 --> 0:51:57.839 This is a crisis. Time is of the essence. We absolutely, positively, 0:51:58.000 --> 0:52:04.719 positively cannot delay this anymore. That's you know, that's what 0:52:04.960 --> 0:52:07.480 where everybody else is on this. But Nancy Pelosi, meanwhile, 0:52:07.480 --> 0:52:10.520 I was playing all these nonsense games. Now, you know 0:52:10.600 --> 0:52:12.439 one one point here that I would I would make 0:52:12.760 --> 0:52:15.440 the jobless numbers are going to keep going up. Manuchin, 0:52:15.760 --> 0:52:19.320 who is smart. I mean, he's like Goldman Sachs, lobbyist 0:52:19.400 --> 0:52:23.200 in chief at the Treasury Department. But he's smart, and 0:52:23.520 --> 0:52:27.839 he's saying that we can handle this jobless thing in 0:52:27.880 --> 0:52:30.719 the short term, which has been what I have been 0:52:30.760 --> 0:52:34.080 saying for the last week, despite all the leftists claiming 0:52:34.080 --> 0:52:35.920 that I want to throw old people off of cliffs. 0:52:36.560 --> 0:52:39.960 We cannot sustain this in the long term. Here is 0:52:40.040 --> 0:52:42.640 Manuchin on that one play ten. We knew the jobless 0:52:42.640 --> 0:52:44.160 claims number was not going to be a good one, 0:52:44.200 --> 0:52:45.960 but I am curious this. So what your thoughts were 0:52:46.000 --> 0:52:48.840 when you saw that three point two eight three million number. 0:52:49.120 --> 0:52:51.080 You know, to be honest with you, I just think 0:52:51.120 --> 0:52:53.920 these numbers right now are not relevant, and you know 0:52:53.960 --> 0:52:57.719 whether they're bigger or smaller. And the short term, you know, 0:52:57.920 --> 0:53:02.000 I mean, obviously there are people who have jobless claims. 0:53:02.120 --> 0:53:04.319 And again, the good thing about this bill is the 0:53:04.360 --> 0:53:07.640 President is protecting those people. So you know, now with 0:53:07.760 --> 0:53:11.160 these plans small businesses, hopefully we'll be able to hire 0:53:11.239 --> 0:53:14.120 back a lot of those people. Last week, they didn't 0:53:14.120 --> 0:53:16.480 know if they had protections. They didn't have any cash, 0:53:16.520 --> 0:53:20.000 they had no choice. Now with this bill passed by Congress, 0:53:20.960 --> 0:53:24.200 there are protections, and as I said, hopefully those workers 0:53:24.239 --> 0:53:29.600 will be rehired. But between these three programs, it protects 0:53:29.680 --> 0:53:32.200 all of American workers. And by the way, you know, 0:53:32.360 --> 0:53:36.320 lots of big companies do continue to hire for obviously 0:53:36.840 --> 0:53:42.520 grocery stores, pharmacies, you know, delivery services. These companies are 0:53:42.520 --> 0:53:45.919 on overtime, so I know they're hiring people as fast 0:53:45.960 --> 0:53:48.080 as they can. Let's hope that he's right. I mean, 0:53:48.120 --> 0:53:49.840 I've been saying that the unemployment numbers are only going 0:53:49.920 --> 0:53:51.879 to go up, and I think I'm right. But he's 0:53:51.880 --> 0:53:54.520 saying that because of this this I don't think it's 0:53:54.520 --> 0:53:56.160 stimulus bill. We should call it a rescue It's a 0:53:56.200 --> 0:53:58.560 rescue bill. It's not a stimulus bill. Because of this 0:53:58.640 --> 0:54:03.040 rescue bill, there may be some decisions made by businesses 0:54:03.040 --> 0:54:07.520 to keep people on payroll. Maybe we'll have to see, 0:54:07.760 --> 0:54:09.480 but remember there's going to be a lot of other 0:54:09.480 --> 0:54:11.200 pe There're gonna be a lot of other businesses that 0:54:11.880 --> 0:54:16.440 are are concerned and are going to continue to shed jobs, 0:54:16.600 --> 0:54:19.600 right that this is only going to get worse. And 0:54:20.440 --> 0:54:22.000 then you get into it, well, how does this whole 0:54:22.000 --> 0:54:24.080 thing get really scary? Even if they're doing the right 0:54:24.120 --> 0:54:28.640 thing by trying to help in this way systemic financial 0:54:28.640 --> 0:54:31.160 problems which no one wants to talk about. Thanks for 0:54:31.200 --> 0:54:34.920 listening to the Bus and Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe 0:54:34.920 --> 0:54:38.439 on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get 0:54:38.480 --> 0:54:42.880 your podcasts. What did the Senate majority fight for one 0:54:42.920 --> 0:54:45.960 of the largest corporate bailouts with as few strings as 0:54:46.000 --> 0:54:52.239 possible in American history? Shameful? The greed of that fight 0:54:52.520 --> 0:54:56.200 is wrong for crumbs for our families, and the option 0:54:56.280 --> 0:54:59.640 that we have is to either let them suffer with 0:54:59.760 --> 0:55:03.279 no thing, or to allow this greed and billions of 0:55:03.320 --> 0:55:06.120 dollars which will be leveraged into trillions of dollars to 0:55:06.200 --> 0:55:10.240 contribute to the largest income inequality gap in our future. 0:55:10.560 --> 0:55:13.279 There should be shame about what was fought for in 0:55:13.320 --> 0:55:16.640 this bill and the choices that we have to make. 0:55:17.160 --> 0:55:19.840 I mean, AOC is a moron. All you have to 0:55:19.840 --> 0:55:21.560 do is listen to that one clip, never mind all 0:55:21.560 --> 0:55:26.759 the others, and she's just it's really to the detriment 0:55:26.880 --> 0:55:30.359 of the Democrat voters of Queens that she represents them, 0:55:30.440 --> 0:55:32.840 and they I guess they kind of, you know, in 0:55:33.160 --> 0:55:39.120 that regard. They traded Crowley for AOC, and I don't 0:55:39.120 --> 0:55:40.640 know how they can view this as a as a 0:55:40.640 --> 0:55:42.719 trade up, but maybe maybe they do. I don't know. 0:55:42.840 --> 0:55:45.799 But here's the problem with AOC throwing what it really 0:55:45.800 --> 0:55:48.719 sounds like a tantrum about corporate interests and how this 0:55:48.800 --> 0:55:52.000 is all for the corporations. And then this is just 0:55:52.040 --> 0:55:54.800 the usual talking points for her. She always says the 0:55:54.840 --> 0:55:58.000 same things about the big bad corporations. Here was the 0:55:58.080 --> 0:56:01.520 vote in the Senate on this one play clip eleven. Please, 0:56:01.719 --> 0:56:05.080 we passed this legislation last night, ninety six to nothing. 0:56:05.160 --> 0:56:07.880 The Senate can barely even rename a post office ninety 0:56:07.880 --> 0:56:10.600 six to nothing, much less pass a two trillion dollar 0:56:11.120 --> 0:56:15.320 emergency package, So I think it's regrettable. Then Nancy Pelosi 0:56:15.920 --> 0:56:19.520 intervened in our bipartisan negotiations last weekend, and now we've 0:56:19.520 --> 0:56:21.600 lost almost a week's worth of time of getting this 0:56:21.719 --> 0:56:25.840 desperately needed aid into the hands of America's families and businesses. 0:56:26.120 --> 0:56:28.480 But I'm confident to the House of Representatives will pass 0:56:28.480 --> 0:56:30.600 it to mar the President will sign it, and then 0:56:30.640 --> 0:56:33.359 our government will be moving as quickly as possible to 0:56:33.400 --> 0:56:36.160 get this aid into the hands of families and businesses. 0:56:36.680 --> 0:56:39.840 Ninety six to zero. How can we be hearing about 0:56:39.880 --> 0:56:43.319 the big, bad, mean Republicans when every single Democrat in 0:56:43.320 --> 0:56:45.640 the Senate voters for this ninety six to zero. Folks, 0:56:45.840 --> 0:56:48.759 an AOC thinks that this is some terrible Look, there's 0:56:48.760 --> 0:56:51.280 definitely there's pork in there, there's some things that shouldn't 0:56:51.280 --> 0:56:53.600 be in there. But you act like this is on 0:56:53.680 --> 0:56:56.880 the Republicans. This is just the nature of our politics 0:56:56.960 --> 0:56:59.680 right now, and it's gross. But this is reality. But 0:56:59.800 --> 0:57:02.400 it's also not really a part as an issue. This 0:57:02.480 --> 0:57:05.360 is just a Washington issue. They see an opportunity to 0:57:05.360 --> 0:57:07.640 write a twenty five million dollars check for the Kennedy Center, 0:57:08.360 --> 0:57:12.080 and they took it. They saw an opportunity to dramatically 0:57:12.080 --> 0:57:14.400 expand a lot of aspects of government. They aren't really 0:57:14.440 --> 0:57:17.600 about this. You know, there's a huge expansion of food stamps, 0:57:17.600 --> 0:57:20.840 different welfare programs. You know, Democrats got a lot in 0:57:20.840 --> 0:57:22.880 this that they'll say is all about coronavirus. But these 0:57:22.920 --> 0:57:26.880 are things that they just want to do anyway. This 0:57:27.000 --> 0:57:29.480 is just another moment where there's some people that they 0:57:29.480 --> 0:57:31.360 really only have one speed. I mean aoc. It's the 0:57:31.400 --> 0:57:35.400 same class, warfare, inequality, nonsense all the time. It doesn't 0:57:35.440 --> 0:57:38.560 matter what the topic is or what's happening, She's going 0:57:38.600 --> 0:57:41.840 to say more or less the same stuff. And you know, 0:57:41.840 --> 0:57:45.000 Pelosi is really not any better. I mean, she's really 0:57:45.120 --> 0:57:51.200 just blathering on about nonsense. And Congressman McCarthy pointed out 0:57:51.240 --> 0:57:53.400 that her whole thing. You know, she's just trying to 0:57:53.400 --> 0:57:55.040 save face now and it's obvious, and I'm not going 0:57:55.120 --> 0:57:57.160 to let her do it without taking some heat because 0:57:57.200 --> 0:57:59.720 she deserves a lot more than just heat. She deserves 0:57:59.760 --> 0:58:01.480 to be voted out of office. But it's not going 0:58:01.520 --> 0:58:05.240 to happen. She represents the lunatic liberals of Marine County, 0:58:05.320 --> 0:58:09.400 San Francisco incredibly wealthy. It's like, you know, the equip 0:58:09.640 --> 0:58:12.640 It's the San Francisco equivalent of Malibu, like ultra rich 0:58:12.760 --> 0:58:16.439 right by the ocean. That's Nancy Pelosi's district. Yeah, she's 0:58:16.440 --> 0:58:18.800 not getting voted out any time soon. It's also I 0:58:18.840 --> 0:58:20.720 think where they have one of those clusters where people 0:58:20.720 --> 0:58:23.880 don't vaccinate particularly like that's one of those plays. I'm 0:58:23.920 --> 0:58:27.480 just that it is a side note. But here's REPRESENTI 0:58:27.560 --> 0:58:31.080 McCarthy play clip twenty two. Speaker herself just said, every day, 0:58:31.240 --> 0:58:34.560 every week that is wasted on not taking this seriously 0:58:34.840 --> 0:58:38.400 is a problem. I could not agree more. And yet 0:58:38.480 --> 0:58:42.880 for days Democrats stalled this bill. How many people were 0:58:42.960 --> 0:58:46.240 laid off as the Democrats fought to change the election 0:58:46.320 --> 0:58:49.800 law or implement the Green New Deal. How many parents 0:58:50.120 --> 0:58:52.400 while sleep wondering how they're going to make the payments 0:58:52.800 --> 0:58:56.240 in the next month. How many small businesses set around 0:58:56.240 --> 0:58:59.040 a kitchen table and had to make that decision. They 0:58:59.120 --> 0:59:02.640 never had to be about laying their employees off. They 0:59:02.720 --> 0:59:06.840 are like family. A few minutes ago, the Speaker stood 0:59:06.840 --> 0:59:10.160 at dyspodium and claimed that House Democrats did what she 0:59:10.240 --> 0:59:14.320 called a jiu jitsu to change the bill. That is 0:59:14.320 --> 0:59:18.120 an outright lie. The fundamental portions of this bill has 0:59:18.160 --> 0:59:21.600 not changed in Sunday, four months for unemployment was already 0:59:21.600 --> 0:59:24.960 decided on Sunday. The grant to keep employees hired on 0:59:25.000 --> 0:59:30.480 small business was already decided on Sunday. Yeah, already decided 0:59:31.000 --> 0:59:35.120 Pelosi swooped in and tried to use tried to leverage 0:59:35.120 --> 0:59:38.680 the moment for her own benefit and for her narrow 0:59:38.840 --> 0:59:42.880 parochial political interests, and it failed. And now she's saying 0:59:42.880 --> 0:59:44.840 that she did something just to walk away from this. 0:59:44.880 --> 0:59:46.640 Everyone's looking at her like, no, you didn't. We know 0:59:46.720 --> 0:59:52.200 that she didn't. But she's such a liar, liar, liar, 0:59:52.360 --> 0:59:55.840 pants on fire Pelosi. That is where she is on this. 0:59:56.600 --> 0:59:59.960 So it is unsurprising, but nonetheless that's the reality of it. 1:00:00.600 --> 1:00:04.080 You know, I was talking before about the state versus 1:00:04.120 --> 1:00:06.960 local issue, and there is going to be I think 1:00:07.000 --> 1:00:10.200 some accountability for different for people who aren't used to 1:00:10.280 --> 1:00:16.520 making really big decisions in political office, for mayors, for governors. 1:00:17.480 --> 1:00:21.280 They they're being forced to make decisions here where people's 1:00:21.320 --> 1:00:22.960 lives are in the balance, the economy is in the 1:00:22.960 --> 1:00:27.480 balance of their state. And here's the mayor of New 1:00:27.600 --> 1:00:32.600 Orleans speaking about how it's Trump's fault that Marty Gras 1:00:32.680 --> 1:00:37.160 was not canceled due to coronavirus play thirteen. But you're saying, 1:00:37.360 --> 1:00:40.080 no one from the federal government came to you and 1:00:40.360 --> 1:00:44.840 urge you to at least cancel or postpone Marty Gras. 1:00:45.000 --> 1:00:48.840 That's absolutely correct, and not only that it was backed 1:00:48.920 --> 1:00:53.439 up with the response of our national leader. When it's 1:00:53.520 --> 1:00:57.120 not taken seriously at the federal level, it's very difficult 1:00:58.040 --> 1:01:02.280 to transcend down to the local level in making these decisions. Yes, 1:01:02.440 --> 1:01:04.600 that's right. Everyone who was supposed to be making these 1:01:04.600 --> 1:01:09.560 decisions to protect the people of their city or their state. 1:01:10.360 --> 1:01:13.000 The people that got this wrong. And New Orleans is 1:01:13.040 --> 1:01:15.720 clearly getting hit very badly, in part because of all 1:01:15.720 --> 1:01:19.040 the travel to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. But they 1:01:19.080 --> 1:01:21.439 got this wrong, and now they're gonnaur around, They're gonna 1:01:21.480 --> 1:01:23.120 blame the federal government and say that it wasn't being 1:01:23.120 --> 1:01:27.240 taken seriously by the federal government. Look, we also have 1:01:27.480 --> 1:01:30.320 fortunately the Internet now and so we know what different 1:01:30.440 --> 1:01:32.080 state And now I don't have this for you for 1:01:32.200 --> 1:01:35.240 Mardi Gras. I mean for New Orleans, which you know 1:01:35.240 --> 1:01:37.800 and I love New Orleans, but that's another place, Producer 1:01:37.840 --> 1:01:40.680 Mark a part of the NYC escape plan. I don't 1:01:40.720 --> 1:01:42.560 know what the state taxes Louisiana. I'm sure it's not 1:01:42.560 --> 1:01:45.120 that high. I love I love New Orleans. I want 1:01:45.120 --> 1:01:47.200 to get back there as soon as I can. But 1:01:48.320 --> 1:01:50.880 the New York City health commissioner. I don't have the 1:01:50.880 --> 1:01:53.600 New Orleans health commissioner for the first week of February. 1:01:54.000 --> 1:01:57.120 Is this is a person at the city level, right, 1:01:57.160 --> 1:01:59.600 who's obviously a Democrat. I mean, every everybody in all 1:01:59.600 --> 1:02:02.640 these may your cities is pretty much a Democrat. I mean, 1:02:02.720 --> 1:02:07.360 the Democrat government is city government. Now there's almost no differentiation. 1:02:08.080 --> 1:02:11.200 And I mean that's not true everywhere, but in most 1:02:11.200 --> 1:02:13.600 places you're going to find the mayors of big cities 1:02:13.600 --> 1:02:16.120 I'm talking about now, it doesn't you know, four Wayne, Indiana. 1:02:16.120 --> 1:02:17.880 I love you guys in wo wo Land, but you 1:02:17.920 --> 1:02:19.920 know you're you're kind of an outlier here. I think 1:02:20.040 --> 1:02:22.200 maybe you know you're talking about fifty to one hundred 1:02:22.200 --> 1:02:24.360 thousand people in a city. Sure, then maybe you have 1:02:24.400 --> 1:02:27.840 a Republican. But anything that's half a million plus two 1:02:27.920 --> 1:02:31.680 hundred fifty thousand plus, you're probably looking at an overwhelming 1:02:31.720 --> 1:02:35.880 majority of Democrats who are calling the shots for these cities. 1:02:36.720 --> 1:02:39.760 And I mean certainly the case in New York, Los Angeles, 1:02:39.800 --> 1:02:44.360 San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, New Orleans, Baltimore, Washington, d C. 1:02:44.520 --> 1:02:46.680 I mean Seattle, I mean, find me a city or 1:02:46.800 --> 1:02:49.600 San Diego. I mean Anyway, here's the New York City 1:02:49.640 --> 1:02:53.120 Health Commissioner without the first week of February on Now, 1:02:53.120 --> 1:02:55.120 this is a person. Remember, this is not just a politician. 1:02:55.120 --> 1:02:59.160 This is someone whose job is only to keep people 1:02:59.720 --> 1:03:04.200 healthy and safe in New York City, safe from disease, 1:03:04.840 --> 1:03:09.640 safe from things like this pandemic. Here was the public 1:03:09.720 --> 1:03:13.040 advice of the New York City Health Commissioner on February seventh. 1:03:13.560 --> 1:03:16.560 Play it. The important thing for New Yorkers to know 1:03:16.840 --> 1:03:20.640 is that in the city currently their risk is low 1:03:21.000 --> 1:03:25.280 and our city preparedness is high. And so we know 1:03:25.600 --> 1:03:29.560 that this virus can be transmitted from one individual to another, 1:03:29.880 --> 1:03:32.880 but that it's typically people who live together. That there's 1:03:33.040 --> 1:03:36.000 no risk at this point in time. We're always learning 1:03:36.040 --> 1:03:40.920 more about having it be transmitted in casual contact. Right, 1:03:40.960 --> 1:03:44.400 So we're telling New Yorkers go about your lives, take 1:03:44.440 --> 1:03:48.919 the subway, go out, enjoy life. But the practice every 1:03:49.000 --> 1:03:54.160 day precaution. That's right. The Health Commissioner of New York 1:03:54.200 --> 1:03:59.000 a month ago said the following, take the subway, go out, 1:03:59.520 --> 1:04:04.880 enjoy life. No real risk of casual transmission of this. 1:04:05.920 --> 1:04:08.320 So when people this is part of my thing this week, 1:04:08.400 --> 1:04:09.720 you know you have a lot of folks out there 1:04:09.720 --> 1:04:12.200 that are yelling, listen to the experts, listen the experts. Really, 1:04:12.840 --> 1:04:15.200 there are people who got sick and died in the 1:04:15.280 --> 1:04:17.800 last month because they listen to experts like this person. 1:04:17.960 --> 1:04:22.360 That's just reality. So it's not as easy as just 1:04:22.480 --> 1:04:25.440 repeating that mantra and all of a sudden, all all 1:04:25.480 --> 1:04:28.920 other points of view, all other ways of looking at 1:04:28.920 --> 1:04:32.480 this just fade away into nothing. It's not that straightforward, folks, 1:04:32.480 --> 1:04:36.120 as we all know. So we'll see what ends up 1:04:36.160 --> 1:04:39.280 happening with the county by county, state by state approach, 1:04:39.560 --> 1:04:41.800 and the President is probably gonna announce something pretty substantial 1:04:41.840 --> 1:04:44.840 on that on Monday. But now we're going to really 1:04:44.840 --> 1:04:47.000 see it. And I think this is going to be 1:04:47.080 --> 1:04:49.840 more of a test of federalism than we've had in 1:04:49.840 --> 1:04:53.080 this country in a long time. Because states that handle 1:04:53.120 --> 1:04:56.240 this well, people are gonna say, hmm, maybe it's time 1:04:56.280 --> 1:04:58.640 to go check that place out. States that are crushed 1:04:58.680 --> 1:05:01.640 by this, there's going to be a lot of anger 1:05:01.640 --> 1:05:04.200 and a lot of blame at state and local government. 1:05:04.240 --> 1:05:06.360 And there are gonna be a lot of Democrats who 1:05:06.360 --> 1:05:08.200 in charge of these areas, you know, whether whether it's 1:05:08.240 --> 1:05:10.200 fair or not, that they get blamed. They are going 1:05:10.240 --> 1:05:12.440 to get blamed. I mean, you know, de Blasio, I 1:05:12.520 --> 1:05:15.480 think in part is running around screaming about how everything's 1:05:15.520 --> 1:05:17.959 on fire and we're all gonna die, just so that 1:05:18.480 --> 1:05:20.880 you know, when finally people say, wow, you handle this 1:05:21.000 --> 1:05:23.240 really badly, he's just gonna say I was warning everybody, 1:05:23.240 --> 1:05:24.480 and I was the one saying it was going to 1:05:24.560 --> 1:05:28.600 be terrible. So but I also think that we're gonna 1:05:29.080 --> 1:05:30.640 We're gonna hit a peak in a couple of weeks, 1:05:30.680 --> 1:05:34.320 but it's gonna be less catastrophic than the predictions were 1:05:34.440 --> 1:05:37.760 last week. That's my I wouldn't say a prediction. That's 1:05:37.760 --> 1:05:41.680 my hope, and I'm pretty I'm confident in my hope. 1:05:41.680 --> 1:05:46.760 At this point, you're in the Freedom Hunt. This is 1:05:46.800 --> 1:05:53.520 the Buck Sexton Show podcast High Fekes. I want to 1:05:53.560 --> 1:05:55.520 bring you up to speed with something that's happening today, 1:05:55.560 --> 1:05:59.760 which is that I've developed mild symptoms of the creative 1:06:00.040 --> 1:06:04.760 assessed to say, a temperature and a persistent cough, and 1:06:04.960 --> 1:06:08.360 on the advice of the chief medical officer, I've taken 1:06:08.480 --> 1:06:12.880 a test that has come out positive. So I am 1:06:12.920 --> 1:06:17.440 working from home. I'm so violating and that's entirely the 1:06:17.520 --> 1:06:21.480 right thing to do, but being no doubt that I 1:06:21.480 --> 1:06:24.760 can continue, thanks to the wizardy of modern technology, to 1:06:24.840 --> 1:06:28.080 communicate with all my top team to lead the national 1:06:28.320 --> 1:06:33.880 fight back against coronavirus. The Prime Minister of Great Britain 1:06:34.200 --> 1:06:40.200 and Prime Minister of the UK, he has coronavirus. That's 1:06:40.760 --> 1:06:43.240 going to be one of those ones where you say, wow, 1:06:43.240 --> 1:06:45.760 this really is all over the place, isn't it. I 1:06:45.760 --> 1:06:50.880 think the wife of Justin Trudeau has coronavirus now as well. 1:06:50.920 --> 1:06:53.240 I mean Tom, that was like a week or two ago. Yeah, yeah, 1:06:53.280 --> 1:06:54.880 that was a week or two ago. Tom Hanks says 1:06:54.920 --> 1:06:56.880 a coronavirus. He seems to be doing fine. I saw 1:06:56.920 --> 1:07:00.360 some update from him. Who what other famous smart What 1:07:00.440 --> 1:07:03.440 are the famous people right now have coronavirus? There were 1:07:03.440 --> 1:07:06.600 a couple of NBA players, some some like some like 1:07:06.720 --> 1:07:11.200 Sea level, you know, celebrities almost almost announced it like 1:07:12.360 --> 1:07:14.680 a little too, you know, a little they're like almost 1:07:14.680 --> 1:07:16.360 exciting to do. It's a little weird with some of 1:07:16.400 --> 1:07:18.880 the younger I've seen some people that are like you know, 1:07:18.960 --> 1:07:21.760 influencers that are like, oh, I have coronavirus, Like uh, 1:07:23.160 --> 1:07:25.000 that's know. We wish you all the best. But this 1:07:25.080 --> 1:07:26.920 is not a it's not a competition to see who 1:07:26.960 --> 1:07:29.120 can get this thing the fastest. There have been some weird, 1:07:29.880 --> 1:07:32.400 some weird posts that I've seen on this one, and 1:07:32.600 --> 1:07:34.800 never mind the ones of people like licking toilet seats. 1:07:34.800 --> 1:07:36.840 And did you see that, by the way, you know 1:07:36.880 --> 1:07:41.160 that guy got sick. Yeah, he has coronavirus. Coronavirus? What 1:07:41.320 --> 1:07:45.560 I mean? What a you know? People? Why lick a 1:07:45.640 --> 1:07:49.400 toilet in general? Never mind in these times? Yeah, I dude, 1:07:49.440 --> 1:07:50.960 I I don't even know. Man. I was one of 1:07:51.000 --> 1:07:52.440 those people that for years and years, if I had 1:07:52.440 --> 1:07:53.760 to use a toilet that wasn't in my home, I 1:07:53.840 --> 1:07:57.200 use one of those like I would build a little um, 1:07:57.360 --> 1:08:00.440 you know, a little paper towel s, a little a 1:08:00.560 --> 1:08:03.520 little paper seat for myself. You know. Oh, I won't 1:08:03.920 --> 1:08:07.800 go outside of the house. Yeah, you're one of those 1:08:08.680 --> 1:08:11.000 like that guy from American Pie who won't go outside 1:08:11.000 --> 1:08:13.440 the home. I'm the type of person who asked the 1:08:13.520 --> 1:08:16.240 leasing offices at his new apartment, do you guys change 1:08:16.280 --> 1:08:19.280 the toilet seat before I move in. That's a good call. 1:08:19.320 --> 1:08:21.280 By the way, there's a lot of places we'll get 1:08:21.680 --> 1:08:23.519 they'll get cheap on that one, and they won't. You 1:08:23.560 --> 1:08:25.200 want to You want a fresh toilet seat when you 1:08:25.200 --> 1:08:27.360 move into an apartment where someone else where someone else 1:08:27.400 --> 1:08:30.000 has live. But yeah, there's o there's celebrities. Yeah, and 1:08:30.000 --> 1:08:33.080 there's some NBA players, and we we end up happening there. 1:08:33.080 --> 1:08:35.559 Why people got tests early who are celebrities is because 1:08:35.560 --> 1:08:37.879 they have money on access and they went to private, 1:08:38.360 --> 1:08:40.720 private testing facilities and said, you know what's it going 1:08:40.760 --> 1:08:43.160 to cost? And they you know, this is the way, 1:08:43.200 --> 1:08:45.360 this is the way the world works. Unfortunately, so people 1:08:45.360 --> 1:08:49.000 were rightly upset about that, but there was no surprise 1:08:49.120 --> 1:08:50.840 there really. I mean, that's the way these things are 1:08:50.840 --> 1:08:53.160 going to happen, the same way that you have now 1:08:53.280 --> 1:08:59.200 hoarding of chloroquin, not chloroquin phosphate, which is fish tank cleaner, 1:08:59.240 --> 1:09:03.120 which will kill you, as everybody already knows. Now despite 1:09:03.120 --> 1:09:05.479 the media saying Trump told them to drink, no he 1:09:05.520 --> 1:09:09.240 did not. But there is there's hoarding of chloroquine and 1:09:09.280 --> 1:09:14.040 hydroxy chloroquine, the anti malaria drug that we we're not 1:09:14.080 --> 1:09:16.040 going to know if that really works probably, I guess 1:09:16.080 --> 1:09:17.680 for another week or two. They are using it in 1:09:17.680 --> 1:09:22.160 New York. But the therapy round of it must be 1:09:22.200 --> 1:09:23.960 at least a week to ten days before you have 1:09:24.000 --> 1:09:28.080 any sense of how effective it is. So, but doctors 1:09:28.080 --> 1:09:30.559 are hoarding that and people are hoarding it, and it 1:09:30.600 --> 1:09:32.799 is used for other conditions. I think it's used for lupus, 1:09:32.840 --> 1:09:35.360 and there are a few. I think there's some autoimmune 1:09:35.400 --> 1:09:39.200 situations where you can use chloroquine to suppress it. So 1:09:40.280 --> 1:09:43.080 that's something you're seeing going on right now. And then 1:09:43.120 --> 1:09:45.760 you also have people who have tried to get and 1:09:45.800 --> 1:09:48.160 just hold one, like in their closet or something, a 1:09:48.200 --> 1:09:52.960 respirator for themselves. Our ventilator rather, you know, the ventilator 1:09:53.120 --> 1:09:57.320 is the machine that breathes for you when you can't 1:09:57.360 --> 1:10:01.719 breathe Trump speaking on that, I did see that Trump 1:10:01.840 --> 1:10:05.400 was not happy with. You know, we've been talking about 1:10:05.400 --> 1:10:07.880 the Defense Production Act and General Motors and what's going 1:10:07.920 --> 1:10:14.280 on there. Trump is very displeased with the speed of 1:10:14.439 --> 1:10:17.240 General Motors. On one Here's what he said. General Motors 1:10:17.400 --> 1:10:21.960 must immediately open their stupidly abandoned Lordstown Planet Ohio or 1:10:22.040 --> 1:10:25.519 some other plan and start making ventilators. Now all caps. 1:10:26.160 --> 1:10:28.000 When the Trumpster puts it in all caps, you know 1:10:28.040 --> 1:10:32.640 he's for real. Ford get going on ventilators fast. So 1:10:32.760 --> 1:10:37.080 the President saying, hey, we we you know, we've been 1:10:37.080 --> 1:10:42.120 telling people, We've been telling people to have a you know, 1:10:42.160 --> 1:10:45.800 open mind about working with the private sector without government mandate. 1:10:45.880 --> 1:10:48.439 Just the private sector stepping up. It's starting to sound 1:10:48.439 --> 1:10:51.960 like the President may have to say, Okay, now you're 1:10:52.000 --> 1:10:54.240 now you're getting they're gonna get paid. Right this is 1:10:54.240 --> 1:10:58.800 an appropriation of property without compensation. But under the Defense 1:10:58.800 --> 1:11:01.000 Production Act, you're going to make ventilators, and you're gonna 1:11:01.000 --> 1:11:04.719 make them now right now. Not not going to finish 1:11:04.800 --> 1:11:07.960 the line of cars. We'll have to see how these 1:11:07.960 --> 1:11:09.920 companies have stepped up. A lot of people I know 1:11:10.040 --> 1:11:12.160 and you know, could look conservatives. We understand that the 1:11:12.200 --> 1:11:16.080 free market and private industry is where prosperity comes from. 1:11:16.120 --> 1:11:19.120 So I totally agree and understand with that point of view. 1:11:19.680 --> 1:11:22.320 But we've been saying the private sector is stepping up 1:11:22.320 --> 1:11:24.840 in with some of these companies. We're going to expect 1:11:24.880 --> 1:11:29.120 some results here soon. I better see some General motors ventilators, 1:11:29.240 --> 1:11:32.320 you know, getting shipped across the country by the thousands 1:11:32.760 --> 1:11:35.800 this week. Thanks for listening to the bus sets and 1:11:35.880 --> 1:11:40.040 show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart 1:11:40.120 --> 1:11:44.160 Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts, if we 1:11:44.240 --> 1:11:47.519 get on TV and it gets sensationalized, you stir people up. 1:11:47.880 --> 1:11:50.880 It's just it just leads to bad things. That's my point. 1:11:50.880 --> 1:11:52.840 How we are working. We're just as hard as we 1:11:52.920 --> 1:11:55.640 possibly can with the full force of government and the 1:11:55.680 --> 1:11:58.519 full force of private enterprise. And that's the best we 1:11:58.560 --> 1:12:01.080 can do right now. We all us a country got 1:12:01.120 --> 1:12:05.479 dealt a bad hand by China. Peter, that is just 1:12:05.520 --> 1:12:07.240 a waste of time to say that. I'm going to 1:12:07.360 --> 1:12:09.880 leave it there, Peter Navarro, were just trying to get 1:12:09.880 --> 1:12:14.320 her hands around the time. We're out of time, and 1:12:14.360 --> 1:12:19.960 that's just there. You have a third tier CNN anchor 1:12:20.000 --> 1:12:24.040 who has never been very bright, being nasty to a 1:12:24.120 --> 1:12:29.760 presidential economic advisor. I watched the whole about eight minute exchange. 1:12:30.439 --> 1:12:33.080 She was just a petulant child. She was disrespectful the 1:12:33.200 --> 1:12:35.720 entire time, which is classic at CNN. I mean I 1:12:35.840 --> 1:12:37.160 used to just so you know, when I used to 1:12:37.200 --> 1:12:39.639 go on CNN when I was a paid contributor there before, 1:12:39.680 --> 1:12:42.080 it was completely insane, like it was crazy, but you 1:12:42.120 --> 1:12:44.120 could kind of reason with them a little bit. Sometimes 1:12:44.280 --> 1:12:46.920 Now they've they've they've lost their minds. I'm actually, I'm 1:12:46.920 --> 1:12:48.760 not sure. I'm I'm a band from the building as 1:12:48.760 --> 1:12:51.519 a security risk. But the head of CNN saw me 1:12:51.600 --> 1:12:53.400 and like gave me a weird look and was like, 1:12:53.400 --> 1:12:55.679 what are you doing here? Once so I'm pretty sure 1:12:55.800 --> 1:12:58.599 that I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed that, which is great. 1:12:58.600 --> 1:13:00.560 I wouldn't go I would I would go on and 1:13:00.840 --> 1:13:02.280 fight with them, and they know that they don't want 1:13:02.320 --> 1:13:06.759 to deal with that. So, but you had a Keeler 1:13:06.920 --> 1:13:14.719 whatever her name is, being all aggressive here with Peter Navarro, 1:13:15.479 --> 1:13:18.000 and this is what was going on. She kept saying, 1:13:18.640 --> 1:13:21.439 you guys have done a bad job preparing. Can you 1:13:21.560 --> 1:13:23.719 get to the number? Can you get to a million? 1:13:23.840 --> 1:13:27.160 A million ventilators? And he kept saying, well, hold on 1:13:27.200 --> 1:13:30.360 a second, can let's address this. You're making a claim 1:13:30.400 --> 1:13:33.519 that the administration has done a bad job preparing for this, 1:13:34.000 --> 1:13:35.920 and then you're saying we need a million ventilators, which 1:13:36.000 --> 1:13:38.840 keep in mind, no administration ever thought that they needed 1:13:38.840 --> 1:13:42.200 to have a million ventilators on hand. A million ventilators 1:13:42.240 --> 1:13:44.559 a lot of machines, folks. These machines cost about I'm 1:13:44.560 --> 1:13:45.680 not saying we don't have the money for it, but 1:13:45.720 --> 1:13:47.240 it's a lot of machines that are costs of twenty 1:13:47.280 --> 1:13:50.759 to thirty thousand dollars apiece a million of them. Somebody 1:13:50.800 --> 1:13:52.200 else is going to have to do that math for me. 1:13:52.680 --> 1:13:56.120 So she's making this claim, and Peter Navarro kept trying 1:13:56.160 --> 1:13:59.240 to say, look, here's the reality of the situation. It's 1:13:59.320 --> 1:14:03.240 unprecedented to nobody else. No other administration would have ever 1:14:03.280 --> 1:14:05.040 you know, if you'd try to get funding for a 1:14:05.040 --> 1:14:07.160 million ventilators, people would have laughed at you. I thought 1:14:07.160 --> 1:14:09.760 you were insane, right, So, and she just kept she 1:14:09.840 --> 1:14:11.640 kept hammering the point she's trying to play, you know, 1:14:11.680 --> 1:14:14.559 trying to pander to the CNN audience, which just wants 1:14:14.560 --> 1:14:16.240 to hear how terrible Trump is and who doesn't care 1:14:16.280 --> 1:14:18.280 about old people or any people dying for that matter. 1:14:18.320 --> 1:14:20.519 He just wants to you know, make more money and 1:14:20.840 --> 1:14:23.479 violate the emoluments clause and all this other psycho crap 1:14:23.520 --> 1:14:26.280 that they say all the time. But one part that 1:14:26.439 --> 1:14:28.360 kept coming up is, you know, he was saying, look, 1:14:28.400 --> 1:14:32.600 this is China cut six weeks out, and this is 1:14:32.640 --> 1:14:36.120 just true. China by lying and covering up cut six weeks, 1:14:36.200 --> 1:14:40.040 six weeks out of America's preparations for this. And if 1:14:40.080 --> 1:14:45.160 you're going to talk about how you know, how well 1:14:45.160 --> 1:14:47.240 the administration got ready for this. You have to be 1:14:47.280 --> 1:14:49.160 fair to the situation and say, well, you know, the 1:14:49.240 --> 1:14:52.720 Chinese were a big problem here and that other countries. 1:14:53.560 --> 1:14:55.000 You know, if this had broken out first in the 1:14:55.040 --> 1:14:56.640 UK or France, I think there would have been a 1:14:56.680 --> 1:14:59.600 lot more transparency and a lot more honesty. But the 1:14:59.680 --> 1:15:02.519 Chinese Communist Party is a bunch of liars who don't 1:15:02.560 --> 1:15:05.400 care about anything other than their power, and that's a 1:15:05.479 --> 1:15:10.160 real issue. CNN's anchor here just kept saying, that's a distraction, 1:15:11.520 --> 1:15:15.040 you know, It's it's a pretty remarkable circumstance that you're 1:15:15.080 --> 1:15:19.080 seeing play out, and it's not one that I will 1:15:19.120 --> 1:15:24.400 forget anytime soon that the liberal news media has an 1:15:24.439 --> 1:15:28.599 insistence in undermining any good news out of the Trump 1:15:28.600 --> 1:15:33.320 administration during this panic, while they will simultaneously and wholeheartedly 1:15:33.360 --> 1:15:36.559 believe any piece of absurd propaganda that China puts out. 1:15:36.720 --> 1:15:39.960 This is really all you have to know about their character, seriousness, 1:15:40.000 --> 1:15:44.280 and intelligence, all of which are deeply lacking. The Chinese 1:15:44.360 --> 1:15:48.599 government is claiming that they have sent tons and tons 1:15:48.680 --> 1:15:53.639 palettes of medical supplies to Italy, for example, and they're 1:15:53.640 --> 1:15:56.759 sending them to other countries, and our news media takes 1:15:56.800 --> 1:16:02.400 these little propaganda pieces from China and says, you know, look, 1:16:02.520 --> 1:16:05.240 China is the one stepping up with global leadership. People 1:16:05.280 --> 1:16:09.080 who think they're really smart look at these Chinese press 1:16:09.120 --> 1:16:12.200 releases and they say, oh, wow, China is doing a 1:16:12.240 --> 1:16:14.680 great job here. Why is in America cutting itself off 1:16:14.720 --> 1:16:16.720 from the world while China is trying to help. First 1:16:16.760 --> 1:16:18.840 of all, we're in the midst of the peak of 1:16:18.840 --> 1:16:20.519 our own or about to hit the peak of our 1:16:20.520 --> 1:16:23.519 own pandemic, and so yeah, it would seem a bit 1:16:23.520 --> 1:16:26.360 strange if we're trying to build more ventilators for our 1:16:26.360 --> 1:16:29.080 people to be sending a lot of ventilators abroad. But 1:16:29.120 --> 1:16:31.120 here's the other piece of this that the moron journalist 1:16:31.160 --> 1:16:34.080 crowd doesn't understand. Put aside from the China's full of lies, 1:16:34.920 --> 1:16:38.479 we sent, we send aid to China. We tried to 1:16:38.479 --> 1:16:40.559 help out the Chinese, and in fact that Chinese kind 1:16:40.560 --> 1:16:42.519 of rejected some of that aid, including from the World 1:16:42.560 --> 1:16:46.120 Health Organization initially, but rejected American offers of help too. 1:16:47.000 --> 1:16:49.559 And then we gave them help, and then they shipped 1:16:50.200 --> 1:16:53.040 help with medical supplies, and then they've shipped medical supplies 1:16:53.280 --> 1:16:57.280 to other countries now in just a propaganda effort, and 1:16:57.520 --> 1:16:59.800 our media reports on this as though, Oh, look at 1:16:59.840 --> 1:17:02.160 China and stepping up and showing all this leadership. Yeah, 1:17:02.200 --> 1:17:04.840 China's done a great job, for example, sending testing kits 1:17:04.880 --> 1:17:07.360 to Spain. Do you know what the percentage of those 1:17:07.360 --> 1:17:09.800 testing kits? Hundreds of thousands of testing kits they sent 1:17:09.840 --> 1:17:12.200 to Spain. Our media is like, look at China stepping 1:17:12.280 --> 1:17:16.080 up here. The percentage of those kits that work thirty 1:17:17.080 --> 1:17:18.519 Now you might say, okay, well, at least they have 1:17:18.520 --> 1:17:20.880 thirty percent working kits. They don't know which kits work 1:17:20.880 --> 1:17:24.120 and which. Don't think about what that does then to 1:17:24.200 --> 1:17:27.280 the testing capacity in Spain. They have to run a 1:17:27.320 --> 1:17:28.920 test to see if they can actually work or not. 1:17:29.360 --> 1:17:31.240 They got one hundreds of thousands of tests now from 1:17:31.320 --> 1:17:33.479 China that they can really use, or if they try 1:17:33.479 --> 1:17:34.840 to use some of them, they can only use a 1:17:34.840 --> 1:17:37.479 percentage of them, right, I mean, you know what I 1:17:37.520 --> 1:17:39.400 think of it this way? How if you're in the 1:17:39.439 --> 1:17:42.679 middle of a war and I send you a million 1:17:42.760 --> 1:17:45.960 rounds of ammunition, but only thirty percent of them will 1:17:46.000 --> 1:17:48.800 actually fire, and you don't know which ones am am 1:17:48.800 --> 1:17:50.680 I doing you a big, a big favor with that? 1:17:51.479 --> 1:17:53.719 Do you want to be on the front lines, you know, click, oops, 1:17:53.720 --> 1:17:55.680 didn't fire? Do you want to be the doctor that's 1:17:55.760 --> 1:17:57.599 running a test for somebody that needs to find out 1:17:57.600 --> 1:17:59.800 before they go back home and possibly infect other people 1:18:00.400 --> 1:18:03.080 whether or not they have coronavirus? And then you go, oh, 1:18:03.160 --> 1:18:05.439 you wait four days or five days or twelve hours 1:18:05.479 --> 1:18:07.760 or whatever it is with the Chinese test, I don't know, 1:18:08.520 --> 1:18:11.120 and then you find out, oh, no, results inconclusive or 1:18:11.160 --> 1:18:13.760 what if the results are wrong? You do we think 1:18:13.760 --> 1:18:16.040 that we can actually trust these tests being sent from 1:18:16.120 --> 1:18:22.840 China America because our own media really watches the authoritarianism 1:18:23.160 --> 1:18:26.920 of China with some envy, you know, the the American 1:18:27.040 --> 1:18:30.559 progressive movement, American liberals wish that they could do what 1:18:30.640 --> 1:18:34.479 China does, which is just make people do whatever they want. 1:18:35.520 --> 1:18:37.040 May you know, once you're in charge of the government, 1:18:37.080 --> 1:18:38.519 you make people do whatever you want and there's no 1:18:38.960 --> 1:18:41.559 questioning it, there's no weight. But we have a constitution. No, 1:18:41.560 --> 1:18:44.200 don't know. American lives, if they had their way, would 1:18:44.240 --> 1:18:46.479 do what the Chinese Communist Party does. They would just 1:18:46.520 --> 1:18:49.000 be nicer, but they would just tell people this is 1:18:49.000 --> 1:18:51.400 how it's going to go. You know, they see things 1:18:51.400 --> 1:18:54.040 like the Green New Deal and they say, oh, China 1:18:54.080 --> 1:18:57.040 could institute that, so well, you know, China would do this, 1:18:57.120 --> 1:18:59.240 but we have to go through Congress, and we have 1:18:59.320 --> 1:19:01.920 Republican to get past, and we have a constitution that 1:19:01.960 --> 1:19:05.200 people will complain about when we trample it. So there's 1:19:05.200 --> 1:19:07.280 always been and this this is true. I mean Tom Friedman, 1:19:07.360 --> 1:19:10.080 some of the top columnists in liberal media for years 1:19:10.120 --> 1:19:14.360 have been writing about the China model with with with praise, 1:19:15.080 --> 1:19:20.000 with high praise, and in fact, Nicholas Cage anybody, I 1:19:20.000 --> 1:19:22.880 don't know if you guys remember that. And you look 1:19:22.880 --> 1:19:25.519 at the way Bloomberg has been covering China, and there's 1:19:25.600 --> 1:19:31.519 clearly some kind of weird, cozy relationship between Bloomberg and 1:19:32.120 --> 1:19:34.680 China and the ruling powers there. So you know that 1:19:34.720 --> 1:19:38.519 there's a lot. There's a lot to see here about 1:19:38.560 --> 1:19:41.920 the way that China is acting and the way that 1:19:41.920 --> 1:19:44.880 our news media is covering them, And there's there's a 1:19:44.880 --> 1:19:49.680 lot to be really outraged about because they you know, 1:19:49.720 --> 1:19:53.240 this is a moment where patriotism and truth matter, and 1:19:53.479 --> 1:19:57.320 the patriotism of the media is constantly in question. For 1:19:57.360 --> 1:19:59.280 me and really, they're actually just showing us that they're 1:19:59.320 --> 1:20:02.240 rooting for China against the Trump administration. Here would be 1:20:02.240 --> 1:20:04.080 a fun exercise, and just you could do this as 1:20:04.080 --> 1:20:06.360 a thought exercise, because you already know the answer. Do 1:20:06.400 --> 1:20:09.799 you think if you ask your average average seeing an anchor, 1:20:09.840 --> 1:20:14.320 who is more truthful Donald Trump or an official spokesperson 1:20:14.640 --> 1:20:18.200 spokesperson for the Chinese Communist Party? Who you know? So 1:20:18.280 --> 1:20:21.000 any you know the Chinese Foreign Minister Shi Jinping and 1:20:21.080 --> 1:20:24.439 anybody anyone in at the top level of Chinese government 1:20:24.880 --> 1:20:27.160 or Donald Trump? Who is more who is more honest 1:20:27.200 --> 1:20:30.879 and who is more trustworthy? Ninety nine percent of journalists 1:20:30.880 --> 1:20:34.800 would say that it's a well, maybe I should's ninety 1:20:34.840 --> 1:20:37.720 nine percent of the journalists who don't like Trump, which 1:20:37.760 --> 1:20:40.719 is ninety to ninety five percent of journalists, would say 1:20:40.760 --> 1:20:42.920 that it's you can trust China more than you can 1:20:42.920 --> 1:20:45.120 trust Trump. They believe this, you know, they believe this, 1:20:45.720 --> 1:20:48.599 which just goes to show you what terrible judgment they 1:20:48.640 --> 1:20:51.880 have and what a bunch of utter morons they are. 1:20:52.120 --> 1:20:53.920 And you know, there are people like Nancy Pelosi who 1:20:53.920 --> 1:20:56.920 are running around acting like we should listen to them 1:20:57.360 --> 1:21:00.160 because they know something about anything, but Nancy Pelosi knows 1:21:00.200 --> 1:21:04.320 how to be a cunning opportunist who will do anything 1:21:04.360 --> 1:21:06.479 she can to stay in power and to utilize power. 1:21:06.600 --> 1:21:10.800 That's what she knows. And she's a dogmatic lib So 1:21:11.000 --> 1:21:14.800 whatever whatever the left wing of the Democratic Party wants 1:21:14.800 --> 1:21:17.960 to do, Nancy Pelosi tries to bring that into reality. 1:21:18.240 --> 1:21:21.799 But she's going around saying, for example, we need I mean, here, 1:21:22.200 --> 1:21:25.919 just play clip twelve. We would hope that the government 1:21:26.160 --> 1:21:31.400 production of the Defensive of Production Office Agency would be 1:21:31.560 --> 1:21:35.759 called upon to call upon industry to convert to making 1:21:35.880 --> 1:21:43.880 ventilators in the rest, testing, testing, testing, mask masks, ventilators, ventilators, ventilators. 1:21:43.920 --> 1:21:46.880 What's the mystery? We need many more and ventilators just 1:21:47.000 --> 1:21:50.080 for your information. Is not about making a breathe easier. 1:21:50.160 --> 1:21:54.639 It's making a breathe period. It is vital to life 1:21:54.680 --> 1:21:58.639 and death in many, many, many cases. So we need 1:21:58.800 --> 1:22:04.240 an unlimited number, let's think of it that way, endless 1:22:04.320 --> 1:22:09.040 number of ventilators, and just to name one thing, an 1:22:09.200 --> 1:22:13.120 unlimited number of ventilators. We don't have an unlimited number 1:22:13.120 --> 1:22:15.800 of anything, but we're going to need an unlimited number 1:22:15.800 --> 1:22:21.479 of ventilators. That's really her, that's her demand now well, 1:22:21.479 --> 1:22:23.479 how do we even how do we even do that? 1:22:23.520 --> 1:22:25.479 I don't even know what that would look like. Then 1:22:25.600 --> 1:22:27.920 the numbers unlimited, we're just going to have, So what 1:22:28.000 --> 1:22:29.880 does that mean? We should have fifty million of them 1:22:29.920 --> 1:22:35.520 just just hanging around. They don't understand that there's man hours, labor, equipment, 1:22:35.680 --> 1:22:38.719 material that these things. I mean, Nancy Pelosi has never 1:22:38.920 --> 1:22:41.719 run a business other than the business of being shady, 1:22:41.720 --> 1:22:45.400 opportunistic Nancy Pelosi. She doesn't know anything. She's never worked 1:22:45.439 --> 1:22:48.200 for a company, she's never spent time learning about basic economics. 1:22:48.479 --> 1:22:52.960 All she knows is the liberal orthodoxy and how to 1:22:53.160 --> 1:22:56.320 enact it by playing the media. And well, I mean, 1:22:56.439 --> 1:22:58.000 the media is in her back pockets, so it couldn't 1:22:58.000 --> 1:23:00.080 be any easier for her. But yes, that's her, and 1:23:00.080 --> 1:23:02.120 that we need to have an unlimited number of ventilators. 1:23:03.160 --> 1:23:07.439 Oh gosh, she is just she's She's the worst, though, don't. 1:23:07.520 --> 1:23:10.120 I mean, Davlasi was actually the worst, but Pelosi sometimes 1:23:10.400 --> 1:23:12.080 gets pretty close for me. All Right, So I want 1:23:12.080 --> 1:23:13.639 to talk about what we're gonna do this weekend, folks. 1:23:13.880 --> 1:23:15.800 Enough so we've gotten through all the most important news 1:23:15.800 --> 1:23:19.000 for today. What are our weekends? And this is the quarantine, 1:23:19.040 --> 1:23:21.720 Freedom Hunt. Now, so what are the weekends going to 1:23:21.760 --> 1:23:23.000 look like for all of us? What are you going 1:23:23.040 --> 1:23:26.000 to be doing? And I've got one one thing that 1:23:26.040 --> 1:23:27.320 I need to share with you that I think will 1:23:27.360 --> 1:23:31.920 be a worthwhile recommendation. We'll bring in producer Mark to 1:23:31.960 --> 1:23:33.240 hear what he's got going on. Then we'll get to 1:23:33.320 --> 1:23:38.000 roll call, and then I'll send you off to just regroup, relax, 1:23:38.479 --> 1:23:40.120 keep calm. This weekend we'll get to all that. So 1:23:42.000 --> 1:23:45.000 you're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton 1:23:45.080 --> 1:23:53.360 Show podcast. It's not every day that a zooppeeper with 1:23:53.520 --> 1:23:57.799 the prison for murder fryar. There are more captive tires 1:23:57.800 --> 1:24:00.879 in the US then there are in the wild throughout 1:24:00.880 --> 1:24:05.960 the world. The people are nuts, man, They're all crazy. 1:24:08.640 --> 1:24:11.840 I'm sure you all got a story to too. I 1:24:11.840 --> 1:24:17.400 gotta tell you. I watched two two episodes of this 1:24:17.520 --> 1:24:22.840 last night with the still mystery lady in my in 1:24:23.439 --> 1:24:26.200 my life who will team Buck. You'll meet and hear 1:24:26.240 --> 1:24:28.960 about her at some point. But I watched two episodes 1:24:29.320 --> 1:24:35.400 of that show Tiger King last night. It is phenomenal. 1:24:35.880 --> 1:24:39.840 It's so like crazy and weird, and I love animals. 1:24:40.280 --> 1:24:44.559 I remember being maybe a kindergartener, first grader and telling people, 1:24:44.720 --> 1:24:46.400 and mostly just because I was impressed. I think that 1:24:46.400 --> 1:24:47.600 I knew the word, but that I wanted to be 1:24:47.640 --> 1:24:50.559 an animal conservationist. I don't think I ever really, And 1:24:50.680 --> 1:24:53.920 I had watched some of these National Geographic VHS. National 1:24:54.160 --> 1:24:57.400 Geographic had this great series, this VHS series back in 1:24:57.439 --> 1:25:00.680 the day when we had VHS tapes that shows you 1:25:00.800 --> 1:25:04.000 what a graybeard millennial I am. Where they had They 1:25:04.000 --> 1:25:06.519 had one on sharks that was amazing. They had one 1:25:06.560 --> 1:25:10.120 with Jane Goodall and chimpanzees that was incredible. They had 1:25:10.160 --> 1:25:14.080 these sort of I don't know, these episodes of Natural 1:25:14.120 --> 1:25:18.880 Geographic back when everything was VHS and you know, or 1:25:19.080 --> 1:25:22.639 old school cable TV. And I watched those. I watched 1:25:22.640 --> 1:25:25.800 those tapes until they fell apart. So I loved I 1:25:25.880 --> 1:25:28.080 Love with the Shark one in particular, which was really 1:25:28.080 --> 1:25:30.599 amazing because this is back, this is before Shark Week, 1:25:31.040 --> 1:25:33.439 is before you had all that cool stuff. So and 1:25:33.479 --> 1:25:35.920 they kind of overdid Shark Week like they overpromised. After 1:25:35.960 --> 1:25:37.600 a while, I kept watching Princer Mark it was the 1:25:37.680 --> 1:25:42.080 last time you watched Shark Week never You've never seen it. 1:25:42.439 --> 1:25:44.600 I mean, like I've seen commercials and stuff, but it 1:25:44.720 --> 1:25:48.120 wasn't interesting as much. Fifteen years ago it was pretty cool, 1:25:48.479 --> 1:25:50.800 but then every year it's just like okay, and like, 1:25:51.280 --> 1:25:53.960 now we're going to look at like this series of 1:25:54.000 --> 1:25:55.920 attacks that we don't know if they really happened, but 1:25:56.000 --> 1:25:58.280 maybe they did. And these people didn't drown, they were 1:25:58.280 --> 1:26:00.000 eaten by sharks. You're just like just a lead up 1:26:00.000 --> 1:26:04.360 to Sharknado. Now, now, I mean, Sharknado is not something 1:26:04.360 --> 1:26:08.040 I've ever seen. I think Anne Coulter, who's who's a 1:26:08.120 --> 1:26:10.479 friend of the show, I think she was in Sharknado two. 1:26:10.680 --> 1:26:13.920 I'm being serious. I think she was too. That sounds right, Yeah, 1:26:14.000 --> 1:26:16.040 I think she was, which is pretty awesome. He's got 1:26:16.040 --> 1:26:19.439 a great se as of huber. So anyway, I you know, 1:26:19.640 --> 1:26:21.840 the shark stuff is a little bit overdone now. I mean, 1:26:21.840 --> 1:26:23.920 once you've seen those gray white sharks that killed us, 1:26:24.000 --> 1:26:25.439 that eat the seals and fly out of the water 1:26:25.520 --> 1:26:28.280 when they do. That's the most amazing ocean footage I've 1:26:28.280 --> 1:26:32.000 ever seen of anything. So that's pretty incredible. But anyway, 1:26:32.000 --> 1:26:34.960 I'm somebody who does like watching you know, these nature shows, 1:26:35.000 --> 1:26:38.479 actually the Netflix Nature at Night or whatever it's called. 1:26:38.600 --> 1:26:42.880 It's something at Night about different you know, animal ecosystems. 1:26:42.680 --> 1:26:47.240 That was pretty well done. But The Tiger King is 1:26:47.280 --> 1:26:52.800 about a guy named Joe Exotic mostly there's some other 1:26:52.840 --> 1:26:58.760 people that are central players too, who raises lion cubs, 1:26:59.479 --> 1:27:02.800 tiger cubs obviously all I can't even name all the 1:27:02.880 --> 1:27:05.519 animals that they've got. They've got hundreds of them. And 1:27:05.560 --> 1:27:09.639 he's got this zoo out in Oklahoma. Now he's in prison. 1:27:09.760 --> 1:27:12.879 That's in the first episodes. I'm not giving anything away. 1:27:12.880 --> 1:27:15.240 It's just amazing. I mean, you've got to see this thing, 1:27:15.680 --> 1:27:19.679 first of all, because the watching him play with these 1:27:19.760 --> 1:27:23.000 baby tiger kittens. They're the cutest things you've ever seen, 1:27:23.479 --> 1:27:25.680 all right, and then you realize that people pay a 1:27:25.720 --> 1:27:29.639 lot of money to go pet these baby tigers. Producer Mark, 1:27:29.800 --> 1:27:32.280 what do you think it costs to go to one 1:27:32.320 --> 1:27:35.559 of these special animal preserves? There's one in Florida, there's one, 1:27:36.479 --> 1:27:38.840 there's one in Oklahoma. As I said, what do you 1:27:38.880 --> 1:27:42.160 think it costs to go in and pet the six 1:27:42.200 --> 1:27:44.920 week old tiger cub? I'm gonna say at least five 1:27:45.000 --> 1:27:47.000 hundred dollars. Yeah, it's about right. It's like a three 1:27:47.040 --> 1:27:50.599 to five hundo it's a lot. Yeah, that's expensive. People 1:27:50.640 --> 1:27:53.200 pay real and of course they take the selfies with it. 1:27:53.479 --> 1:27:57.639 And there's a whole thing about Tinder selfies with big 1:27:57.720 --> 1:27:59.519 cats as a way to get people's attention. So that 1:27:59.600 --> 1:28:02.599 was a thing people were taking. And you can take 1:28:02.640 --> 1:28:04.599 photos with the with the big I mean the lions 1:28:04.640 --> 1:28:06.760 that are you know, five six, seven hundred pounds. I 1:28:06.760 --> 1:28:09.920 mean these animals are enormous and guess what, very dangerous, 1:28:09.960 --> 1:28:12.120 which also comes up at some parts in the show. 1:28:12.920 --> 1:28:15.840 But it's it's amazing. Yeah. I also, uh, you know, 1:28:15.920 --> 1:28:18.120 Disneyland is expect like some of these places that you 1:28:18.160 --> 1:28:21.000 don't realize, like how Disneyland's expensive to go to, isn't it? 1:28:21.200 --> 1:28:23.960 Oh yeah, very expensive? Have you never been never been 1:28:24.000 --> 1:28:27.320 a disney Land? Oh my god? Yeah, it's like I'm 1:28:27.320 --> 1:28:30.320 barely America. What about like Universal any of that stuff? No, 1:28:30.640 --> 1:28:32.720 do you just not like rides? I didn't do. I 1:28:32.720 --> 1:28:34.160 didn't really do theme parks. I used to go to 1:28:34.240 --> 1:28:36.040 Rye Playland a lot as a kid, which is the 1:28:36.040 --> 1:28:39.280 most like bootleg theme park. Yeah, to get to New 1:28:39.360 --> 1:28:43.320 York Park, that place sucks, just like the I mean seriously, 1:28:43.560 --> 1:28:46.320 when my older brother would put me in the grocery 1:28:46.360 --> 1:28:48.840 store card and make me go real fast until I scared. 1:28:48.840 --> 1:28:50.280 I got scared to tell them to slow down. We 1:28:50.320 --> 1:28:52.639 were little kids. That was more fun than the Rye 1:28:52.680 --> 1:28:56.040 Playland roller coasters. I mean, what age did you go 1:28:56.160 --> 1:28:58.760 to Rye play Leg because that's built for like kids? Yeah, 1:28:58.880 --> 1:29:01.360 like eight, nine, ten. Im My, Hey, I'm not like 1:29:01.360 --> 1:29:04.760 a weirdo here. I was going I was a little kid. Yeah, 1:29:05.400 --> 1:29:07.040 I'm not the thirty eight year old dude was walking 1:29:07.080 --> 1:29:09.960 around rite playlist and leading the cotton candy like, hey, 1:29:09.960 --> 1:29:11.800 I want to go all the rads. All right, that's 1:29:11.800 --> 1:29:13.960 weird to write Playland, but it's not that weird one 1:29:14.040 --> 1:29:16.960 at Disney, right, Yeah, exactly, I agree. But no, when 1:29:17.000 --> 1:29:18.519 I was a little kid, I used to go there 1:29:18.600 --> 1:29:20.599 and check this stuff out. But I'm telling you, guys 1:29:20.680 --> 1:29:23.720 this weekend, if you're in quarantine or if we're just 1:29:23.760 --> 1:29:27.519 trying to lay low for the weekend, Tiger Tiger King 1:29:27.880 --> 1:29:30.080 is amazing. So far, I've only two episodes in, but 1:29:30.120 --> 1:29:34.080 it is fantastic. Producer Mark, you and missus Producer Mark 1:29:34.120 --> 1:29:36.080 should try it. I'm telling you, I think that was 1:29:36.120 --> 1:29:38.360 on the docket for the weekend. Yeah, you guys should 1:29:38.360 --> 1:29:42.519 do that one. It's it's nuts like here's it's just 1:29:42.600 --> 1:29:44.720 the whole and the people that are involved. I mean, 1:29:44.720 --> 1:29:49.160 it's when when you find out that somebody has all 1:29:49.200 --> 1:29:51.000 these animals, you think this must be an interesting show, 1:29:51.040 --> 1:29:52.360 and then you find out more about the people and 1:29:52.360 --> 1:29:55.320 you realize it's a really interesting show. Thanks for listening 1:29:55.320 --> 1:29:58.760 to the bus seton show podcast. Remember to subscribe on 1:29:58.840 --> 1:30:03.080 Apple Podcast, iHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. 1:30:04.360 --> 1:30:09.000 All right, roll call, as we head off into our weekend. Man, 1:30:09.080 --> 1:30:11.880 this week went by pretty pretty quickly. I've got to say, 1:30:11.960 --> 1:30:14.920 it's you know, it's tense out there. It's stressful in 1:30:14.920 --> 1:30:16.560 the country right now. But team, we are going to 1:30:16.600 --> 1:30:18.639 get through it. Okay, We're gonna be all right, We're 1:30:18.640 --> 1:30:21.360 gonna rally. Let's get to your thoughts. Hey, Buck, I 1:30:21.400 --> 1:30:23.439 was completely blown away that you read my email on 1:30:23.479 --> 1:30:25.599 the show the other day. On Monday Show, you discussed 1:30:25.600 --> 1:30:28.320 the consequences of the shutdown on the emotional well being 1:30:28.360 --> 1:30:31.160 of people. As a small business owner myself, the stress 1:30:31.240 --> 1:30:34.160 is almost overwhelming. I'm only a couple of checks away 1:30:34.160 --> 1:30:37.240 from bankruptcy myself. The only comfort I can draw from 1:30:37.280 --> 1:30:39.439 this is the fact that I understand that I'm not alone. 1:30:39.800 --> 1:30:42.759 I'm absolutely certain there are tens of thousands of others 1:30:42.760 --> 1:30:46.160 that share my situation. Pittsburgh is now completely shut down 1:30:46.160 --> 1:30:49.680 except for life essential businesses, and you have to have 1:30:49.720 --> 1:30:52.320 a permit in your possession to go to work. Keep 1:30:52.400 --> 1:30:54.120 up the great Workbuckster. Listening to show is one of 1:30:54.120 --> 1:30:57.000 the highlights of my day. Still wearing my nitrile gloves 1:30:57.800 --> 1:31:00.519 nitral and holding my shields high, rying for an end 1:31:00.560 --> 1:31:03.200 of this nightmare. Jeff Man, I hear you. I'm so 1:31:03.240 --> 1:31:05.160 sorry that you're going through this, but you you are 1:31:05.200 --> 1:31:08.280 among millions. You are among millions, and you know. The 1:31:08.280 --> 1:31:10.559 one thing about this that I do think it's important 1:31:10.560 --> 1:31:13.719 for everybody to remember because I know, you know, small 1:31:13.800 --> 1:31:16.200 business owners in particular, people that are used to doing 1:31:16.240 --> 1:31:20.280 the right thing, putting in hard work. They have to 1:31:20.320 --> 1:31:22.880 live in the reality of what, you know, what their 1:31:22.920 --> 1:31:25.560 community can sustain, and they've got to do with customers, 1:31:25.600 --> 1:31:28.519 and you know, it's it requires a lot of people. 1:31:28.720 --> 1:31:32.240 And I know that when you have a setback with 1:31:32.280 --> 1:31:35.640 a business like that, people can really feel very Not 1:31:35.640 --> 1:31:37.519 only does it affect them obviously very deeply, but they 1:31:37.520 --> 1:31:40.600 can also internalize and take it personally. Just remember for 1:31:40.640 --> 1:31:43.360 anybody out there who right now is feeling the financial 1:31:43.400 --> 1:31:46.400 pain and is concerned and is worried and doesn't know 1:31:46.439 --> 1:31:48.400 how they're going to support their family and what's going 1:31:48.400 --> 1:31:51.200 to happen, just remember this, Always keep this in the 1:31:51.240 --> 1:31:54.400 back of your mind. Your responsibility, your fault for this 1:31:54.520 --> 1:31:59.280 situation is zero. It's not oh maybe I could have 1:31:59.520 --> 1:32:01.920 or a month to go, I should over. Your fault 1:32:02.000 --> 1:32:04.879 right now for the economic pain that you're feeling because 1:32:05.000 --> 1:32:11.560 of this pandemic is zero. You have no responsibility whatsoever 1:32:11.680 --> 1:32:16.000 for what has happened to you your business that is 1:32:16.000 --> 1:32:18.400 struggling now, or your business that has closed now, or 1:32:18.439 --> 1:32:20.800 the job that you have lost now. This is not 1:32:20.840 --> 1:32:24.720 a reflection on you, your capabilities, your hard work, or 1:32:24.760 --> 1:32:29.040 anything else. This is the virus equivalent of we just 1:32:29.080 --> 1:32:32.200 got hit with a tsunami that's you know, fifty feet 1:32:32.200 --> 1:32:36.160 of solid water and just wiped away whole towns. If 1:32:36.200 --> 1:32:38.680 you know, if your shop gets wiped away by the tsunami, 1:32:39.120 --> 1:32:41.720 it is not your fault. So I do think it's 1:32:41.720 --> 1:32:43.920 important to remember that as we move forward here, and 1:32:44.680 --> 1:32:47.559 you will rebound because the business that you were running 1:32:47.560 --> 1:32:49.680 a month or two ago, that was doing well and 1:32:49.760 --> 1:32:52.040 serving customers that you were proud of is going to 1:32:52.080 --> 1:32:55.679 be the business that you're running again when we get 1:32:55.680 --> 1:32:57.640 through this. You know, maybe you have to call it 1:32:57.680 --> 1:32:59.439 a different name or something, or maybe you've got to 1:32:59.439 --> 1:33:02.120 get some you know, new employees, our old employees back, 1:33:02.200 --> 1:33:04.240 or whatever does you do. But you'll still be that 1:33:04.360 --> 1:33:07.519 person in a few months when this is up and running, 1:33:07.520 --> 1:33:09.960 in hopefully sooner than that that you were before this 1:33:10.000 --> 1:33:16.120 whole thing happened. You've got to remember that, Maria. A 1:33:16.200 --> 1:33:17.519 topic that I would like to see covered in the 1:33:17.560 --> 1:33:20.080 midst of coronavirus talks is what Lindsay Graham is up to. 1:33:20.600 --> 1:33:23.240 With your mention of him on your last podcast, couple 1:33:23.280 --> 1:33:25.760 with Tucker Carlson's allegations against him and his appearance on 1:33:25.760 --> 1:33:27.640 Sean Hannity, I think we deserved of the truth of 1:33:27.680 --> 1:33:31.479 where his allegiance stands. You know, Maria, I look, I'll 1:33:31.520 --> 1:33:33.479 tell you this about Lindsay Graham. There aren't a lot 1:33:33.520 --> 1:33:35.640 of people that I'll say this about. Lindsay Graham and 1:33:35.680 --> 1:33:39.000 I had about a thirty minute conversation, you know, one 1:33:39.040 --> 1:33:42.320 to one in DC, and I, look, I don't care, 1:33:42.360 --> 1:33:43.760 I don't I feel like there are a lot of 1:33:43.760 --> 1:33:45.439 shows you can go to. You hear a lot of guests. 1:33:45.760 --> 1:33:47.400 That's why I put in a lot of sound, because 1:33:47.479 --> 1:33:50.680 newsmaking sound I'll use on this show to tell you 1:33:50.720 --> 1:33:52.240 what I think is going on. Because you know, you 1:33:52.360 --> 1:33:54.360 come here for the freedom, hud. You come here for 1:33:54.400 --> 1:33:57.080 this show, right, You're not coming here because oh I've 1:33:57.080 --> 1:33:59.120 every day I'm gonna have some member of Congress tell 1:33:59.160 --> 1:34:01.720 you what we all already you know. But I had 1:34:01.760 --> 1:34:03.640 a long chat with Lindsay Graham, and I'm somebody that 1:34:03.760 --> 1:34:06.160 my word is my bond and I really do adhere 1:34:06.160 --> 1:34:10.920 to that. And one reason why I've managed to stay 1:34:10.960 --> 1:34:13.880 on good charms with every company, every media entity that 1:34:13.920 --> 1:34:15.640 I've worked for, I mean, except for CNM, but that's 1:34:15.640 --> 1:34:19.000 a political thing, not a professional thing, is because I 1:34:19.080 --> 1:34:22.360 keep my word and I play a clean I you know, 1:34:22.479 --> 1:34:25.680 I play a clean game every time. And you know 1:34:25.800 --> 1:34:27.920 I Lindsay Graham. I shook his hand and he said 1:34:27.920 --> 1:34:30.200 he would love to come on the show, and you know, 1:34:30.200 --> 1:34:32.120 I asked him a couple of times, and all right, 1:34:32.160 --> 1:34:34.000 I went to his comms person. He didn't come on, 1:34:34.040 --> 1:34:35.160 and he shook my hand and said he was going 1:34:35.200 --> 1:34:36.320 to do it and then he didn't do it. I 1:34:36.360 --> 1:34:37.960 don't like that. I don't like that. Tell me that 1:34:38.000 --> 1:34:39.760 you're busy and you know, have me talk to your coms. Guy. 1:34:39.760 --> 1:34:41.120 I don't say I'm maps are going to do something 1:34:41.120 --> 1:34:42.600 and then not do it. And that's what that's what 1:34:42.760 --> 1:34:47.439 that's what happened. So I think that that's a character flaw. 1:34:48.000 --> 1:34:50.360 I really do, especially because I mean not to be 1:34:50.439 --> 1:34:54.800 that weird guy. But this radio show is bigger than 1:34:55.240 --> 1:34:57.799 most of the radio shows that he has done. For example, 1:34:57.840 --> 1:35:00.160 I mean, there's only a handful of radio shows that 1:35:00.680 --> 1:35:02.640 have a larger audience than this one, and you know, 1:35:02.760 --> 1:35:04.880 the ones that they are, the other ones do not. 1:35:05.439 --> 1:35:08.439 So that's why I sit here and I'm like, okay, 1:35:08.479 --> 1:35:11.720 so anyway, So I'm just telling you this to be 1:35:11.760 --> 1:35:14.360 honest about my assessment of whether or not Lindsay Graham 1:35:15.720 --> 1:35:18.800 is somebody who really means what he says. When someone 1:35:18.840 --> 1:35:20.320 shakes my hand, they say they're gonna do something and 1:35:20.320 --> 1:35:25.000 they don't do it. I remember that, and so that's 1:35:25.000 --> 1:35:26.840 where that's where I'm at with Lindsay Graham right now. 1:35:26.840 --> 1:35:28.800 You know, loves to go on and on Fox and 1:35:29.040 --> 1:35:32.120 talk a big game about things, but he doesn't follow 1:35:32.160 --> 1:35:34.160 through on a lot of stuff. He's bad on immigration, 1:35:34.680 --> 1:35:36.479 he talks tough on a lot of stuff and doesn't 1:35:36.479 --> 1:35:39.520 do anything. And yeah, I mean he stood up for Kavanaugh. 1:35:39.640 --> 1:35:44.040 But I gotta tell you, anybody with any character or 1:35:44.080 --> 1:35:47.559 decency or backbound that backbone should have gone the full 1:35:47.600 --> 1:35:50.000 Lindsay Graham in that moment. He did, and we got 1:35:50.000 --> 1:35:52.599 to give him credit for that. But I mean, good 1:35:52.720 --> 1:35:54.320 heavens man, I mean, the thing that they were doing 1:35:54.320 --> 1:35:58.400 at Kavanaugh was outrageous. So that's my assessment. I don't know, 1:35:59.000 --> 1:36:01.559 you know, as Lindsay Graham's somebody whose word, whose word 1:36:01.600 --> 1:36:03.639 about what he's going to do and where he stands 1:36:04.000 --> 1:36:08.400 is good. Jury's out for the Buckster on that one, 1:36:09.880 --> 1:36:12.880 Adam buck I'm worried now that some have gone a 1:36:12.920 --> 1:36:14.759 taste of the stay at home and do nothing lifestyle. 1:36:14.840 --> 1:36:17.519 My lead might lead to a dark path for some. 1:36:18.080 --> 1:36:20.400 Japan has been seeing this as a subculture for a while. 1:36:20.439 --> 1:36:23.919 Shields High Well, Adam, I do know that the Democrat 1:36:23.960 --> 1:36:27.160 Party wants to use this moment to create as much 1:36:27.200 --> 1:36:30.880 dependency as possible. That that's real that's going on right now. 1:36:31.080 --> 1:36:34.240 So I think we have to remember that as we 1:36:34.280 --> 1:36:37.479 go forward, And I do think that there's a concept 1:36:37.520 --> 1:36:40.960 that's gaining traction in some quarters that I couldn't quantify 1:36:40.960 --> 1:36:43.080 it for you, but I think it's real where people 1:36:43.120 --> 1:36:44.920 think that the government can just write checks and that 1:36:44.960 --> 1:36:47.800 can be the economy. And this is where there's a 1:36:47.800 --> 1:36:49.800 lot of talk about, well, if we can give people 1:36:49.800 --> 1:36:51.960 twelve hundred dollars an unemployment insurance for a few months, 1:36:51.960 --> 1:36:54.679 why not have a universal basic income? Why doesn't everyone 1:36:54.720 --> 1:36:57.080 just get an electronic transfer to a bank account of 1:36:57.479 --> 1:37:00.160 a thousand and two thousand dollars a month? And that 1:37:00.200 --> 1:37:02.400 stimul the economy? Wouldn't better for everybody? Well, as we 1:37:02.479 --> 1:37:05.240 know that you would start to see inflation. By the way, 1:37:05.280 --> 1:37:06.840 I mean, this is why if you gave everybody a 1:37:06.880 --> 1:37:10.040 million dollars, a million dollars wouldn't be a million dollars anymore. 1:37:10.080 --> 1:37:12.439 And this is a concept that you know, the left 1:37:12.479 --> 1:37:17.040 doesn't really understand or just pretends not to understand. Also, 1:37:17.760 --> 1:37:19.880 if you gave people every one a thousand dollars a month, 1:37:19.960 --> 1:37:21.599 then you know what happens, and they want two thousand 1:37:21.600 --> 1:37:23.760 dollars a month, and then in a couple of years, 1:37:23.760 --> 1:37:25.840 it's no everyone needs to have three thousand dollars a month, 1:37:26.280 --> 1:37:28.080 and you just keep on trying to ratchet up the 1:37:28.080 --> 1:37:31.080 taxation in order to pay for this redistribution of wealth. 1:37:31.880 --> 1:37:34.400 So yeah, it's it's something. But look, I think most 1:37:34.439 --> 1:37:36.280 of the millions of people right now that are out 1:37:36.280 --> 1:37:38.040 of work, I mean a vast majority of them want 1:37:38.040 --> 1:37:40.640 to get back to work. They want to get back 1:37:40.680 --> 1:37:44.559 to their jobs. People want purpose, they want things to do. 1:37:45.560 --> 1:37:48.200 It's intrinsic to our nature as human beings to want 1:37:48.240 --> 1:37:52.400 to have things to do. Darby, I'm a registered nurse 1:37:52.439 --> 1:37:54.840 in Dallas. I want to add my two cents. While 1:37:54.880 --> 1:37:57.280 I agree that many more ventilators are needed, no one 1:37:57.320 --> 1:37:59.800 that I've heard has addressed who exactly is going to 1:38:00.000 --> 1:38:04.240 operate these ventilators. They are extremely complicated and can potentially 1:38:04.400 --> 1:38:07.400 kill a patient. Some doctors and nurses can operate to 1:38:07.439 --> 1:38:09.559 a certain degree, but it's certainly not all. We don't 1:38:09.600 --> 1:38:13.120 have anywhere near enough respiratory therapists in my opinion. Keep 1:38:13.120 --> 1:38:15.640 your shield up, brother, Darby, you're the expert, man. I'm 1:38:15.680 --> 1:38:18.280 sure that's true. And look, you know, if you get 1:38:18.280 --> 1:38:20.920 an air bubble in somebody's IV, it can kill them. 1:38:20.920 --> 1:38:23.439 I'm sure a ventilator. If someone makes it messes up, 1:38:23.880 --> 1:38:26.120 it's controlling your breathing, right, I'm sure that that can 1:38:26.160 --> 1:38:29.639 go bad very fast. So you know, I wouldn't want 1:38:29.640 --> 1:38:31.559 someone to pull me in. I've got no medical expertise. 1:38:31.560 --> 1:38:33.280 I want want someone to pull me in and say, hey, 1:38:33.560 --> 1:38:35.360 you're going to run the ventilator now, right, That would 1:38:35.400 --> 1:38:40.040 be very bad news. So I don't know. I don't 1:38:40.040 --> 1:38:41.559 know what the answer is.

If you haven't checked the check the checked 1:40:45.680 --> 1:40:49.599 us out before. Pluto TV Channel two forty eight the first. 1:40:49.800 --> 1:40:52.080 The first is the name of the channel. Pluto TV 1:40:52.360 --> 1:40:57.240 is the name of the app you're in, the Freedom Hud. 1:40:57.680 --> 1:41:04.160 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Hey Buck, I 1:41:04.200 --> 1:41:05.960 couldn't agree with you more about getting back to work. 1:41:06.000 --> 1:41:09.240 My godfather turned seventy in July. A month ago. He 1:41:09.320 --> 1:41:11.880 had to retire on a Friday and turned seventy on 1:41:11.880 --> 1:41:14.160 a Monday. Now he's putting his retirement on a hold, 1:41:14.160 --> 1:41:15.800 at least till the end of the year. His whole life, 1:41:15.800 --> 1:41:17.439 he's done it right. He worked hard and climbed the 1:41:17.439 --> 1:41:20.320 corporate ladder while raising five kids, two of them adopted. 1:41:20.479 --> 1:41:22.160 He put away savings and started at four oh one 1:41:22.240 --> 1:41:24.719 k for retirement. Now it's unclear when he can retire. 1:41:25.000 --> 1:41:26.559 There's two sides to every coin, and this is the 1:41:26.560 --> 1:41:29.000 other side. Thanks Buck, Shields High, Yeah, man, I mean, 1:41:29.160 --> 1:41:32.479 you know, people think that retirement accounts four oh one 1:41:32.560 --> 1:41:35.280 ks are for fat cats and no this for people 1:41:35.360 --> 1:41:38.759 to retire. Very few people have what order are considered 1:41:38.800 --> 1:41:41.400 to find benefit plans also known as pensions. Very few 1:41:41.439 --> 1:41:44.519 people overall have that. More people have four oh one ks. 1:41:44.560 --> 1:41:48.280 I think my numbers on this are correct. So yeah, 1:41:48.320 --> 1:41:51.960 it affects everybody when the market gets absolutely clavered. It's 1:41:52.000 --> 1:41:54.280 a very real concern. But I hear you, man. I 1:41:54.360 --> 1:41:56.320 hope we get back to work soon. David Buck, I 1:41:56.360 --> 1:41:58.000 heard you mentioned the team buck community would be a 1:41:58.000 --> 1:42:00.760 great resource. I agree. How do I reach out to 1:42:00.800 --> 1:42:04.160 members Facebook. I'm starting a business when this blows over, 1:42:04.200 --> 1:42:06.320 and I'm looking for a business partner to run sales, 1:42:06.360 --> 1:42:10.240 please let me know, Shields High, Well, David, you know 1:42:10.280 --> 1:42:12.559 there's a few there's a few ways that you can 1:42:12.640 --> 1:42:15.000 do this. There's a few things that would let you 1:42:15.120 --> 1:42:17.880 contact other folks in the community. I mean one, I mean, 1:42:17.880 --> 1:42:21.360 Facebook is certainly a very good, very good resource. I 1:42:21.400 --> 1:42:25.000 would say, you know, look at our Facebook page and 1:42:25.040 --> 1:42:27.479 if you post in the kind you know I put 1:42:27.479 --> 1:42:29.479 posts up there, or you know, Mark will put posts 1:42:29.520 --> 1:42:32.320 up from the show, and you can just in the 1:42:32.360 --> 1:42:34.080 comments be like, hey, guys, you know I'm in the 1:42:34.680 --> 1:42:37.960 I'm in the such and such area. Can you know 1:42:38.160 --> 1:42:40.400 who else is around me here? Who has any ideas? 1:42:40.640 --> 1:42:42.360 And it's just a way to get the conversation going. 1:42:42.400 --> 1:42:45.880 People will see it, they'll respond that's certainly one means 1:42:46.080 --> 1:42:50.000 of accomplishing that. We you know, we've thought about setting 1:42:50.040 --> 1:42:52.960 up some kind of more official fan page. The problem 1:42:53.000 --> 1:42:55.599 is we just don't really have the staff right now 1:42:55.640 --> 1:42:57.720 to to keep that going and to moderate it. And 1:42:57.720 --> 1:43:00.719 then people, you know, someone says something mean someone else, 1:43:00.760 --> 1:43:02.920 and now do we have to intervene in others? So 1:43:03.040 --> 1:43:06.479 just I'd say, comment on one of our posts and say, hey, guys, 1:43:06.479 --> 1:43:10.320 here's my situation, and you know we have we have 1:43:10.600 --> 1:43:12.439 you know, or reach with some of these posts of 1:43:13.400 --> 1:43:17.519 hundreds of thousands of people that are going to see 1:43:17.560 --> 1:43:20.000 some of the posts that we do. So you know, 1:43:20.160 --> 1:43:21.840 hopefully some of them will be right in your area, 1:43:21.880 --> 1:43:23.360 and then that's just a it's a good way to 1:43:23.400 --> 1:43:26.880 do it. Um, you know, that's that's one way. And 1:43:26.920 --> 1:43:29.479 look if somebody has a particular idea or if you know, 1:43:29.520 --> 1:43:31.160 if some folks want to get together and they want 1:43:31.200 --> 1:43:33.000 me to give a shout out for an area where 1:43:33.040 --> 1:43:36.160 we have one of our one of our affiliate stations 1:43:36.200 --> 1:43:39.000 and people want to get together, and you know, I 1:43:39.000 --> 1:43:43.479 don't know the Austin and Austin area, Denver, Seattle or 1:43:43.520 --> 1:43:45.519 Portland or something and something there wants to be some 1:43:45.600 --> 1:43:47.360 kind of a team Buck meet up. I can't be there, 1:43:47.439 --> 1:43:49.600 I can't travel, but I can at least get the 1:43:49.600 --> 1:43:51.240 word out for a bunch of you if you want 1:43:51.280 --> 1:43:53.160 to gather together and try to even if you gather 1:43:53.200 --> 1:43:55.760 together virtually, right, that's what that's what we would do now, 1:43:55.880 --> 1:43:58.320 social distancing, but you could try to come up with 1:43:58.360 --> 1:44:03.400 ways to restart businesses and get on again. So yeah, 1:44:03.479 --> 1:44:05.240 that's that's where we're at right now. I'd say that's 1:44:05.280 --> 1:44:06.719 the best way to do it. But as I said, 1:44:06.760 --> 1:44:10.080 people have gotten people have gotten jobs from people they've 1:44:10.120 --> 1:44:13.800 met on this show. Employers, people have gotten married from 1:44:13.840 --> 1:44:16.360 being in the audience of this show, certainly met lots 1:44:16.400 --> 1:44:18.080 of people that have gone out on dates with I mean, 1:44:18.080 --> 1:44:23.840 there's it's a community it is, so it's nice, Jerry book, 1:44:23.920 --> 1:44:26.000 you gotta get a PS four and if your TV 1:44:26.080 --> 1:44:29.600 has HDR High Dynamic Range built into it, get the 1:44:29.640 --> 1:44:33.240 PS four pro. The picture will look amazing. The games 1:44:33.240 --> 1:44:35.679 you gotta get are God of War and hell Blade. 1:44:36.120 --> 1:44:39.479 Both are Viking era style games, but with hell Blade 1:44:39.520 --> 1:44:42.519 play with headphones the sounds are crazy. And of course 1:44:42.560 --> 1:44:45.360 get the new Call of Duty game Shield's Eye. Well, Jerry, 1:44:45.600 --> 1:44:46.920 I hope if I do get a PS four, I 1:44:46.960 --> 1:44:49.280 see you out there in the multiplayer mode and I 1:44:49.320 --> 1:44:52.880 can school you son, show you how it's done. We'll see. 1:44:52.920 --> 1:44:56.080 But that's I'm trying to get through more books, trying 1:44:56.080 --> 1:44:58.040 to get to a multi podcast that you people have 1:44:58.080 --> 1:45:02.639 been asking for for a while. We'll see if we'll 1:45:02.680 --> 1:45:05.200 see if the new Mystery Lady allows me to do 1:45:05.280 --> 1:45:07.840 some reading and research over the weekend and get this done. 1:45:08.280 --> 1:45:11.240 But yeah, I think I think we'll get that podcast 1:45:11.280 --> 1:45:12.960 done to the next week or two, so that'll be great. 1:45:13.520 --> 1:45:15.840 Greg writes in Buck this is my first time writing. 1:45:16.080 --> 1:45:19.080 I'm a medical laboratory scientist in Charleston, South Carolina.
