00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: to just say that we've had a great year on

32
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: the show. It has been a bad year for America

33
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: and the world. I understand that, but I did want

34
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: to say, for a moment, thank you so much to

35
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: all of you who have helped us have our biggest

36
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: every year of growth, the most listening, the most podcast downloads,

37
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: and we just keep doing better and better. And we're

38
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: essentially at a point now where this show gets placed

39
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: into a market and it does well, This show gets

40
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: picked up by a station, the numbers go up. It's

41
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: been doing this now for years, but now the momentum,

42
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: and the reality of that is undeniable, and that's because

43
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: of all of you, and I do think that this

44
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: show deserves that listening. Producer Mark and me and the

45
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: whole Freedom Hut team, we do everything we can to

46
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: make it the most worthwhile experience possible. So, if you'll

47
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: excuse me, it's a little bit of a little bit

48
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: of pre birthday, pre Christmas self indulgence here, but I

49
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: just wanted to tell you all thank you so much

50
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: because we have had a great year, and it is

51
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: because of all of you who listened to us and

52
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: who trusted us in what is a very challenging environment,

53
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: a very difficult year, no question about it. I think

54
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: this show has been right. I think we've been more

55
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: often than not on the forefront of the battles for

56
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: the truth, whether it's on the COVID lockdowns or on

57
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: what's what's happened with this election? On BLM and the

58
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: movement over the summer. You remember I was telling you

59
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: all these concession moves, all the negotiations, Republicans are talking about,

60
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: the pulling down of statues, that this was essentially a

61
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: spasm of the left. It was an outgrowth of rage

62
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: and power grab on their part. It wasn't a good

63
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: faith effort to try and rehabilitate or renegotiate or anything

64
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: like that. They weren't seeking compromise, they weren't looking for converts.

65
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: They were hunting heretics. And that's just Those are just

66
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: a few of the areas where I think. I'm very

67
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: proud out of what we've done on the show this year.

68
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: And I don't do as much self promotion as I

69
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: know a lot of other hosts do. Occasionally I'll hear

70
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: a clip somewhere or something and people talk about how

71
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: great they are. I am honored and humbled to have

72
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: what I think is the most discerning and most insightful

73
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: and loyal audience anyone could ever have doing what I do.

74
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: And I see this all the time from the messages

75
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 1: you send. And I also appreciate that you stick with

76
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: me and with this show through very difficult times, which

77
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: has certainly been the case this year. So any of

78
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: you who feel like sending me a happy birthday on

79
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: December twenty eighth be much appreciated. But I will be

80
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: on the beach with snow Princess doing my thing. Now

81
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: let's jump into the latest Congress pasted a massive pork

82
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: laid in bill, trillions of dollars of spending nine hundred

83
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: billion dollars for COVID relief, And there's a lot of

84
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: stuff that's getting conflated. So I want to make this clear. Yes,

85
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: it is true that the stuff that everyone's pointing out

86
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: that's contained in the spending bill is not technically part

87
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: of the COVID bailout portion of this. But it's also

88
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: true that they waited to do all of this together,

89
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: and that just makes it more difficult for us to

90
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: hold anyone accountable. That just makes it more difficult for

91
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: us to see who was responsible for what in this

92
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: whole process, and it shows us that the government there's

93
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: still a real contempt that the ruling class and the

94
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: elites have for the American people, because at this moment

95
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: of real panic and real suffering and pain across the country,

96
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: which is still going on, you had members of Congress,

97
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: powerful elected officials who took this as an opportunity to

98
00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: engage in all kinds of buyoffs and payoffs or favored constituencies.

99
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: And they did this all together for a reason. That's

100
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: my point. I understand there's a difference between the nine

101
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: hundred billion for COVID relief specifically and the ten million

102
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: dollars contained in the overall spending bill, which is the

103
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: federal federal government outlays right the Omnibus, the overall spending

104
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: bill that had ten million dollars for gender programs in Pakistan.

105
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: I know that these aren't technically the same bill or

106
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: the same effort within the legislative process, but understand this.

107
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: They did this together so that they were they were

108
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: like pulling off all the band aids at once, if

109
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: you get my drift. They did this so that it

110
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 1: was we would all just be disgusted at the same time,

111
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: and then we wouldn't really know who to blame. You know.

112
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: For Pelosi, this is a good thing because she delayed

113
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: necessary aid billions and billions of dollars of aid to

114
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: people who aren't a really bad place right now. You know,

115
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: I've just seen some of the early reports on drug

116
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: overdose deaths for this year, and it's looking like it's

117
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: going to be well over eighty thousand. That's not an

118
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: official number yet, but that's what the early count is.

119
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: We're looking at the highest year ever of overdoses in

120
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: the United States. And remember, we had an overdose crisis

121
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: for the last ten years, and the number has been

122
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: going up and up and up. So we're at the

123
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: worst ever year for drug overdoses in the United States

124
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: in our history. Now over eighty thousand people dead. And

125
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: you can't tell me that there's not a substantial percentage

126
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: of those who have died who are not doing what

127
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: they think as a kind of self medication of their

128
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: despair using opioids and other substances because of all the emotional, psychological,

129
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: and physical pain that they are feeling, and they're feeling

130
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: it in part because of the separation from other human beings,

131
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: because of the loss of jobs, because of the destruction

132
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: of businesses. Yes, I understand that this is a brutal

133
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: time for the country, and I understand that there's no

134
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: perfect answer here, but let's remember that there are some

135
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: who are much more responsible for extending the misery, for

136
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: making this even worse than others. Nancy Pelosi is very

137
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: high on that list, as are many other Democrats. And yes,

138
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff that's contained in the bill

139
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: that overall, even if we weren't talking about COVID stimulus

140
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: funds or you know, COVID relief funds, whatever you want

141
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: to call it. Even if that weren't an issue, Congress

142
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: is passing bills now that regulate performance enhancing drugs for horses,

143
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: and Congresses is passing bills to send money to a

144
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: whole array of countries. We're giving money to Sudan, We're

145
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: giving a large sum of money to Israel. We're giving

146
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: money to a lot of foreign countries. Why are we

147
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: doing any foreign aid this year? That seems to be

148
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: a very fair question. I mean any foreign aid, and

149
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to pick on any individual to a country.

150
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: I don't understand why we're doing any foreign eight at all.

151
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: The taxpayers are having their money sent overseas for what.

152
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: Do you really think that we should be worried about

153
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: democracy promotion in Pakistan? Right now? And then let's be

154
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: honest about this. How much democracy promotion you think you're

155
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: really getting in a country of one hundred and seventy

156
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: or so million people by spending ten million dollars, which

157
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: is what the outlay was. Yeah, that's that's a lot

158
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: of democracy promotion you're putting on a very small amount

159
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: of dollar bills, aren't you? Analyst? Just goes on and

160
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: on for these things that people are seeing. And one

161
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: of my frustrations is that, yeah, everyone, everyone trashes Congress

162
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: when this happens, right, people say, oh my gosh, how

163
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: could how could Congress be so inapt and so dumb?

164
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: But they do this right before the Chris's break. They

165
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: know exactly what they're doing. They do it right before

166
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: people go off on holiday. Who's even going to remember

167
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: this in the new year. Who's going to really spend

168
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: any time at all thinking about this once we get

169
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: into January. No, it'll be we'll have other fights. So

170
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: they understand the game and they're they're playing it like pros.

171
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: We think that they're there to put the interest of

172
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: the American people first and make responsible decisions to help

173
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: as many of us as as they can while respecting

174
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: and defending the Constitution. That's really it. It's a pretty

175
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: straightforward idea. They think they're there to sign their name

176
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: to things that spend the public money in such a

177
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: way that they will be able to get reelected. That's

178
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: the primary goal of ninety five percent of the members

179
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: of Congress in both parties. This is bipartisan now, folks,

180
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: this is both teams and the government has closed down

181
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: much of the economy, not all of it, but a

182
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: lot of the economy. People are facing expulsion from their homes.

183
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: We have a wave of evictions that is coming, and

184
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: even if they delay it, eventually it's going to happen.

185
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: There's going to be a reset. People are going to

186
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: be kicked out of their houses in large numbers. The

187
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: government sends everyone, what, six hundred dollars that's what we've

188
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: gotten here in the direct payment if you fall under

189
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: certain categories three hundred dollars of additional unemployment. In the meantime,

190
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: they send let me see here and hat tip techno

191
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: fog for this on Twitter. One hundred and thirty five

192
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: million to Burma, eighty five million to Cambodia, one point

193
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: four billion for the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act, and one

194
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty million dollars to Nepal. Yeah, that's right.

195
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: I lose sleep at night worried about whether they're going

196
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: to fund the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act. That one does

197
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: get me. That gets me really concerned. I'm very worried

198
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: about that one and what would happen without that? And

199
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: we all get angry about it, and then we don't

200
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: really do anything about it. We were supposed to have

201
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: the swamp drained. And I think for a lot of us,

202
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: this comes. This is tough, and I know we're going

203
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: to the holidays, and I just want to say that

204
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot that I'm optimistic about for this country

205
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: and the future. And honestly, as long as I get

206
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: to do this with all of you, as long as

207
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: I can share the truth from the perspective of somebody

208
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: who really loves this country and just loves Americans, but

209
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: I actually love the American people. I have a fondness

210
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: even for all the Libs. I have an innate and

211
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: deeply ingrained connection to my fellow Americans. I really feel that.

212
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: And maybe that sounds a little corny, but we're going

213
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: to the holidays. I'm just going to tell you how

214
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: I feel, and I think we'll get through all this.

215
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: But we have some battles ahead, and we have some

216
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: housekeeping to do, and we have to we have to

217
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: get ready for a lot of policy that's going to

218
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: be shall we say, suboptimal, that's coming our way. But

219
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: we also have to be very honest about what has

220
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: gone on over the last four years, and maybe it

221
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: was an impossible mission to say that the swamp would

222
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: be drained. But I'm here to tell you, and I

223
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: think you already know this, but we should all understand

224
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: the mission continues. I think Trump understands that too. The

225
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: mission continues. This swamp has absolutely not been drained. Politics

226
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: in DC has not changed forever. In fact, what we

227
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: see here is a giant empire strikes back moment from Congress.

228
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: That's what this is, and that's why I want us

229
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: all to be very focused on what we need to

230
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: do in the future, focused on these Georgia runoffs for

231
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: the Senate, and focused on the battles that lay ahead,

232
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: because we still have a lot to do, friends, and

233
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: we need to be happy. Warriors need to be energized

234
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: and engaged. And yes, rests, relax, recuperate over this holiday

235
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: as much as you can, especially for those of you

236
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: that get some time off. God bless and I know

237
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: it's it's a stressful time because of COVID, But we

238
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: fight because it's the right thing to do, and that's

239
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: what we will continue to together. And that is the mission,

240
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: the mantra of this show. That's why I always say

241
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: at the end shield's eye. I remind myself of that

242
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: in life all the time. I can't tell all of

243
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: you to hold your shield high if I won't do

244
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: the same. It's not easy these days. It's not easy

245
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: to stand on constitutional principle, not easy to feel like

246
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: you're a person who the consensus, the digital elite, consensus

247
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: of social media, of Hollywood, of the academy, of law schools,

248
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: of the legal profession, largely of the courts, is standing

249
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: against you. But we continue in this battle because it's

250
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: the right thing to do, Because ultimately it's for the

251
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: future of the greatest country the world has ever known, which,

252
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: even on its worst days, even as swampy as it is,

253
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: America makes the world a better place every day it exists.

254
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: And you and I both know that, and we're both

255
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: parts of that. So I don't forget that You're in

256
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast.

257
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: It is not overblown to say that Donald Trump is

258
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: an authoritarian or it does not believe in democracy. It

259
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: goes beyond Trump. I mean, we have got to ask

260
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: ourselves why seventy rather than number seventy three million I

261
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: think voted for him, And we've got to reach out

262
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: to those people. I think that there is and I

263
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: think that to some degree a dean. I'm sure a

264
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: lot of my Democratic colleagues do not agree with me,

265
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: but this is a reflection of the Democratic Party because

266
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: I think if you talk to many of those, you know, people,

267
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: working class people who voted for Trump, they'll say, look,

268
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: we know he's a lie, we know he's fully, but

269
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: at least you know he does this. He does that

270
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: something the Democrats don't do. So we have got to

271
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: figure out a way to bring our people together, black

272
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: and white and Latino, Native American, Asian American working class

273
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: people and say, you know what, you need a government

274
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: that represents our interests, not one that divides us up

275
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: by the color of our skin, where we were born,

276
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: or a sexual orientation or whatever. Bertie Sanders, I miss him,

277
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: but you know, he was sort of mellow Bernie there.

278
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: I've never heard him sort of not yelling. Notice when

279
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: he gives a speech, it's up here, but when he's

280
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: on the fold, it's kind of down around here. They're

281
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: not going to do any outreach. I just had to

282
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: play that for you, just to remind everyone of the

283
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: delusions here at the Democrat Party, They're gonna be the

284
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: outreach to people who voted for Trump. Not really, no, no, no,

285
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: they didn't do any of it in the election process.

286
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: Why would they do any election outreach going forward? I mean,

287
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: why would they do any trying to bring us over

288
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: to their side. What was the big idea I think

289
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: about this. What was the big idea the Democrats had

290
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: that Biden stood for that really convinced people that this

291
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: was the way to go. What was the thing that

292
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: they had that was supposed to make us all say,

293
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: you know what, They've got a really good idea here,

294
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: let's go with that. It was Trump is basically worse

295
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: than Hitler, and Joe Biden is a guy who's a Democrat.

296
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: That was the whole campaign. There was no idea this

297
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: was run on other than Joe Biden is in Trump

298
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: and the media try to convince as much of the

299
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: country as possible that, despite his ability to run the

300
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: country pretty darn well for three years, the COVID pandemic

301
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: was entirely his fault, and so if you want COVID

302
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: to stop, you have to vote against Trump. That was

303
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: their whole play, and it was craven, but it has

304
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: gotten us to this place we are currently in, and

305
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: so beyond beyond that, I would just say, you know,

306
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, I hope we hear more from Bernie Sanders

307
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: in the months and years ahead, just because I love

308
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: doing the voice Bertie Founders. What's to wish everybody a

309
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: happy Worker's Day? Not a holiday, because it's not about

310
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: being the holy It's about the workers. It's about getting

311
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: you as much cash as you can from your neighbor.

312
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: It's not a gift. It's redistribution of wealth. That's what

313
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: Bernie wants to do. It wants to redistribute that wealth.

314
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: That's his version. That's his version of Christmas and Monaka

315
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: gifts for all of you, taking from your neighbor by

316
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: the fourths of government and giving it to other people.

317
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: I guess that's the Democrat version of happy holidays. But

318
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: there will be no outreach to Trump voters. There will

319
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: be intended purges of them though, and get ready for that.

320
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: They're going to want to make life as uncomfortable as

321
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: possible for former Trump administration officials. Certainly the media will do.

322
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: It's all many corporations. So let's remember we have to

323
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: stand beside those who fight with us. You're in the

324
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: Freedom Hut. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast.

325
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: Buck Sexon is back. It is a goodbye cartisan Still,

326
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: it does as different from bills that had been proposed

327
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: on the Senate side by the Republican leader. It does

328
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: things that his bill never did, and that is it

329
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: addresses the food needs of the American people, maybe fifteen

330
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: million children of food insecure in our country and adults

331
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: as well. The only thing that can save us is

332
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: to open the economy. If we give these tinpot dictators,

333
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: these governors, more money, they're less likely to open the economy.

334
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: The ANSWER's not printing up and distributing free money, it's

335
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 1: opening the economy. We're not even debating the real answer

336
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: to this. We're like, just print up the money and

337
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: shovel it out the door. The deficit be damned. There

338
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: you have. There, you have the dueling philosophies of the

339
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: left and well some on the right. Yeah, the dueling

340
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: philosophies from Nancy Pelosi and Senator Rand Paul Here. Pelosi

341
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: says it's a good bill, which should terrify you, right.

342
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if Nancy Pelosi's happy, you should be very unhappy.

343
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: That's a good rule of thumb about anything that the

344
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: Congress is doing. You should be unhappy and certainly worried

345
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: if Nancy Pelosi's tell you that some massive, multi trillion

346
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: dollars spending bill meets all the needs that she feels

347
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: that are out there. And remember that this is a

348
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: lot less than what she was demanding. What she was

349
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: demanding was flatly ridiculous. I mean, she's accepting this now

350
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: because yeah, this is too much money, it's too much spending.

351
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: We're twenty seven trillion dollars twenty d seven trillion dollars

352
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: in debt. But she wanted what was it, almost three

353
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: trillion of new spending on top of all the trillions

354
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: of spending that's already happened. I mean, that was just crazytown, right, crazytown,

355
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: But that's where Nancy is the mayor of Crazytown as

356
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: well as being a member of Congress. I don't know

357
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: if you knew that. Rand Paul's right, these bailouts this continued,

358
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about for individuals that is deserved,

359
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: but what we're seeing for municipalities and what we're seeing

360
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: for multinational corporations. I mean, the money that's getting slashed

361
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: around in this thing. We should have instead of all this,

362
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: we should have a system that puts a priority on

363
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: getting us reopened as quickly as possible. What we should

364
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: have here are incentives in place for companies and for

365
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: states to take reasonable measures to reopen asap, because instead

366
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: what you have here is America heading into this long

367
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: period of COVID winter, and there's no incentive for governors,

368
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: for mayors who aren't already trying to hold the line

369
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: and stay open, there's no incentive for them to open

370
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: back up and just take the risk, the political risk

371
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: and otherwise of having a spike in cases when they reopen,

372
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: even though as we see the massive spikes that have

373
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: occurred right now, and there are pieces coming out from

374
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: reputable places. I mean, the Federation of American Scientists, for example,

375
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: put out a study and it's from South Korea, and

376
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: its involves all it's pure viewed. It involves all the

377
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: contact tracing information from South Korea, which does a very

378
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 1: good job of this, and it showed that there are

379
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: people in an apartment building who live on different floors

380
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: who got infected and there and they're all in the

381
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: same air duct line. So the conclusion is that there

382
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: seems to be a possibility that COVID can freely circulate

383
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: in the air through air ducts in a building, So

384
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: you may not even be in the same apartment as someone,

385
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: but you could still be infected depending on the airflow,

386
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: which then raised a lot of questions about that piece

387
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: of cloth that says Biden Harris twenty twenty over your mouth,

388
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: and how much protection that really gives you. But we're

389
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: not yet at the point where we've broken through the

390
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: censorship on this, or we're not really allowed to speak

391
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: openly and honestly. But I can't hear on the show.

392
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: But I have to be very careful on social media platforms.

393
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: I'd be very careful about what I'm talking about, just

394
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: sharing data and information. I mean, anyone who looks at

395
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: graphs right now of mask mandates lockdowns and cases and

396
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: hospitalizations and states like California has to just result to

397
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: gibberish and fantasyland explanations for why this is a really

398
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: effective policy. The only thing they can say is the unfalsifiable. Oh,

399
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: it would be so much worse if we didn't do this,

400
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: And I would just ask you to take a look

401
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: at a graphic of California. Take a look at it

402
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: and tell me if you think that it really could

403
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: be that much worse than it currently is in California.

404
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean, how much more spread would really is? The

405
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: whole stake can get infected in three days if it

406
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,479
Speaker 1: weren't for mask gaming. Really it's absurd, but that's what

407
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: they're saying. And if you challenge them, they throw a

408
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: bunch of credentials that other people have in your face.

409
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: And those people with those credentials have often been very,

410
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: very wrong, and they tell you shut up and you're

411
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: a flat earth. End of story. That's where we are.

412
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. So much of this is driven by ego,

413
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: because there's so many people who believe they're really, really smart,

414
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: even though they don't know anything about science or biology

415
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: or anything else. But they're really really smart. They watch CNN,

416
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: you know, they read the New York Times, and they've

417
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: believed all this stuff all along. And no one wants

418
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: to be the person that realizes that they have been

419
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: in a cult. No one wants to feel like they

420
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: were able to be brainwashed or swindled or bamboozled. So

421
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: there's a tremendous amount of psychological resistance to accepting that

422
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: people were wrong in this, and we're just going to

423
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: keep looking and keep sharing the information, keep sharing the data,

424
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: because their wrongness has costs for all the rest of us.

425
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: Their wrongness results in lockdowns that continue on, in mask

426
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: policies that are just a constant psychological and emotional and

427
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: physical agitation. It results in dividing us, making us think

428
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: that there's some politicized aspect to the COVID virus, which

429
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: is absurd. But they've made it very political. It never

430
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: should have been political, but it has become such. Remember

431
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: when they were telling us that don't make don't make

432
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: the mask political, just wear it, And now it's we

433
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: have cases because of those non mask wearing Trump voters. Right,

434
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: They just totally abandoned that whole. Oh, let's not make

435
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: it political, just do what I say. And then when

436
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: what they say doesn't work, what do they do? They

437
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: blame us for not doing what they say, even though

438
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: by all the data, people are limiting their travel, limiting

439
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: their contacts, and wearing masks all across the country. Ninety

440
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: percent compliance with mandates is the best estimate out there.

441
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: But don't worry. Fouci's on TV. I got the vaccine.

442
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: Don't worry. I'll be running your life. I'll be in

443
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: charge you. Doctor Fouch will be in charge you for

444
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: another twenty years at least. I'm gonna be sitting around

445
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: here telling you know, you know, yes, I understand the

446
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: vaccine as a ninety nine percent survival rate, but you know,

447
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: ninety nine point ninety nine actually if you're onto sixty five.

448
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: But beyond that, I just you know, I think you

449
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: should cancel all fun things in life and given a

450
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: few more years, because they're still virus that could be mutations. Yeah,

451
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 1: that's right. You think you think they're gonna let this go.

452
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: You think they're gonna give us back our freedom. No,

453
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to take it back. You're gonna have

454
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: to hold people accountable. They're going to be lost. They're

455
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to be non compliance. That's the only way

456
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: this stops. They're gonna be fistfights. They're gonna be people

457
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: that lose their minds when you walk past them outside

458
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: without a mask on. Even though they're the lunatics, they're wrong.

459
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: People that look at you outside in fresh air walking

460
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,479
Speaker 1: past them and you don't have a mask, and they

461
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: think you're putting them in jeopardy. They are wrong. They

462
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: are they are just afraid, and they are easily brainwashed.

463
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: But they are incorrect. You are not. Just remember that

464
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: because it's gonna get ugly. They're not gonna They're not

465
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna go down. This tyranny will not go down without

466
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: a fight. It is among our biggest challenges in twenty

467
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: twenty and I'm sorry twenty twenty one. See I can't

468
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: even remember the year now and the COVID lockdown tyranny.

469
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: This is because if we don't, yeah, eventually, maybe in

470
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: twelve months, they'll start to really ease up, but no,

471
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: they won't. Next winter, to be after that, next spring,

472
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: not this spring. Next spring, you'll start to feel like

473
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 1: you can actually live your life again. Do you want

474
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: to sacrifice because of incompetent fools like Fauci and company?

475
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: You want to make that I don't want to make

476
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: that sacrifice. I don't want to see what this country

477
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: is like economically. If we still pile trillions of dollars

478
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: of just debt future promises to pay on top of

479
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: the debt we already have, that's that's just catastrophic in waiting.

480
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: That's what we know is happening right now. So we

481
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: need to understand that they're not going to give this up.

482
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,239
Speaker 1: They're not going to let this go, and it's going

483
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: to be incoming upon all of us. It's really at

484
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: the state and local level because the federal level, the

485
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: tyranny is going to have all kinds of backup. So

486
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: it's going to be at the state and local level

487
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: we have to push back. And look, I just hope

488
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: they make enough room for everybody in Texas and Florida

489
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: who's flitting these stupid blue states that are destroying themselves.

490
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the Bust and show posts. Remember

491
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcasts at the iHeartRadio app or

492
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: wherever you get your Podcastsously if we are on a

493
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: on a glide path because of climate change to our

494
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: annihilation as a species. And there are people that benefit

495
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: from the belief who don't really share it, but who

496
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: will propagate it anyway. And there are people who are

497
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: truly that brainwashed and delusional that they think that it

498
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: is an existential threat. They actually think that they worry

499
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: about this. I mean, there are people that write articles

500
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: now about how they don't want to have children because

501
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: they don't want to add to climate change. There are

502
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: people that write articles about how they they lose sleep

503
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: at night because they're so worried about the rise of

504
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: the seas from all the you know, they watch too

505
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: much CNN and BBC and this other crap by people

506
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: who just aren't able to think for themselves. You know,

507
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: I often refer to people as as stupid in the media,

508
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: and I'll say this, and part of that is out

509
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: of frustration the things they say are dumb. But I

510
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: know that it's not that they're actually well in some cases,

511
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, there are people who are just uttered morons.

512
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: There really are. There are people who have low IQs,

513
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: who are not very bright, not very intelligent, and some

514
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: of whom have enormous media platforms. So I do want

515
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: to establish that is a real thing. But there are

516
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: a lot of other people in the media who went

517
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: to fancy schools and probably got pretty decent SATs, you know,

518
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: not that many in journalism, but there are some that

519
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 1: fall into that category. But really what they have is

520
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: cowardice more than stupidity. They always want to be considered smart,

521
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: They always want to be considered on the right side

522
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: of these issues. So they follow the herd, they stay

523
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: within the crowd, and that is the worst possible mentality

524
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: for someone who considers themself to be a truth teller.

525
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: And journalists do think that about themselves. They aren't. It's

526
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: the worst possible mentality to have. It's why journalism in

527
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: this country has become such a preposterous joke. And it is.

528
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: It is a joke, an unfunny one, but a joke nonetheless.

529
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: But I want to be very clear, this is going

530
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: to be a major challenge for us going forward in

531
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty one. The Democrats are going to

532
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: be pushing amnesty and an immigration something you're gonna be

533
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: hearing about a lot on this show, because if we

534
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: ultimately lose the battle on immigration, we lose on everything.

535
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: We lose on everything because they're changing the voters. They're

536
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: going to have voters who are dependent on the Democrat

537
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: Party's largess at the expense of taxpayers and citizens. And

538
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: we're never going to win another if they have If

539
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: they have amnesty and mail in balloting, folks were done

540
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: where the Republican Party is not going to win another

541
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: national election for a very very long time. So we're

542
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: going to be focused in on immigration as an issue,

543
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: but you're also going to see the continuation of this

544
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: transfer of the urgency and the demand for your obedience

545
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: around COVID nineteen is going to transition to climate change.

546
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: And I know for you and me, that's crazy, that's

547
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: just crazy it is. But remember there are people who

548
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: do believe it. Unfortunately, the Democrat masses, from everything in

549
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: their pop culture to their friend groups and social media

550
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: always reinforce this absurd belief our climate change is not

551
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: an existential threat to humanity anymore so than an asteroid

552
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: hitting the planet is an existential threat. And yes, it

553
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: could happen. Are you losing sleep about it? Are you

554
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: not having children because an asteroid may hit us in

555
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: a thousand years? Who knows? Right? This is? This is

556
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: really a religion replacement. As I've always said, climate change

557
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: is a religious belief for people who think they are

558
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: too smart for religion. And then there are the other

559
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: people who will benefit enormously from this. All the solar

560
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: pane you know, the solar panel companies that need government

561
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: subsidies and maybe even bailouts. You know, they're all the

562
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: different alternative energy industries and carbon offsets and all this stuff,

563
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: all these little pig snouts at the trough of the

564
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: government's goodies that come from this alternative energy sector at

565
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: everything else that's going to be a huge component of

566
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: this as well. So, my friends, we all need to

567
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: be very aware of this. I know that it seems

568
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: so crazy that they can't be real, they can't really

569
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: want to do this, But I am here to tell

570
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: you they do want to do this, and they will

571
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have to fight them on it, and

572
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna think that you're the one who's loony. Thanks

00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: Harnsani in the mix from National Review dot com or

577
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: he is a senior writer. Mister David, final live show

578
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: for me for the year. Thank you so much for

579
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: joining us and all your various appearances here. We appreciate it.

580
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: It is a pleasure each and every time. Buck, so

581
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: tell me this Faucci is out there. And for the

582
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: first time of my points that I make about Fauci,

583
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: because I think you have A very interesting take on

584
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: this is that whenever there's a reason, he's very quick

585
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: to say, well, even if there's like a one in

586
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: a thousand chance of that thing happening, led, let's take

587
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: the most cautious and I would say overcautious and even

588
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: authoritarian approach possible. And then when there's good news, you know,

589
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: like for example about schools, I don't know, why isn't

590
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: Fauci on TV with a public service announcement saying open

591
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: the schools, schools should be There's no debate about this

592
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: anymore openly right, it's always the negative stuff that he's

593
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: very clear on, but the positive we don't get to

594
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: hear from him. Why is he telling people get rid

595
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: of outdoor outdoor masking? To this day completely baffles me.

596
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: There are mandates for outdoor masks in some states. There

597
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: is zero science to back this up. There's no study

598
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: that says it's a risk. It's crazy. Okay, he won't

599
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: say that. But finally he said, we've gone too far.

600
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: What did he say with David Well? And when people

601
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: brought up that we might need a temporary travel band

602
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: from Britain because they have some kind of super spread

603
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: or virus. I think it spread seventy percent faster or

604
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: something like that than the strain we have. He called

605
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: it draconian, and I am just taken aback by the

606
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: way that a lot of these are leads and expert

607
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: class people talk about the world. You know, It's not

608
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: draconian to tell your you know, to tell families they

609
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: can visit each other on Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's not

610
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: yourconian to shut down to schools for a year. It's

611
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: not draconian to destroy entire industries like the restaurant industry

612
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: in New York, even though I think studies show that

613
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: one percent they're one percent of the spread. It's not

614
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: draconian to tell people they can't go to church, despite

615
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Constitution clearly clearly laying out that that

616
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: is a right of people to do. So, you know,

617
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: this is the problem when you talk about science now,

618
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: of course, when most of the time when people talk

619
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: about science and just preening on about you know, things

620
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: that I have nothing to do with science. But the

621
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: thing is that it's not just about science. It's about

622
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: a lot of other things in society. And having the

623
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: science lead us all the time, it creates a situation

624
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: you just mentioned where we have public health officials who

625
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: only care about the science. They don't care about the

626
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: social interaction, meaning you know, the emotional importance of that

627
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: kind of thing for society, or I don't care about

628
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: the rights of people, and then you have them saying

629
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: that's draconian to shut down airline flights. I don't even understand.

630
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: It's just arbitrary, and it's not doesn't just doesn't sound

631
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: very scientific to me. What do you think is going

632
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: to happen when with the incoming administration here, I can't

633
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: really decide in the early stages. I mean, I'm gonna

634
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: have to see how this plays out. But but I

635
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: was someone who I think I've said this to you.

636
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 1: We've talked to this on earlier shows. I knew starting

637
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: around August. Oh no, they're not. The plan here is

638
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: not to have the great Biden reopening if he wins.

639
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: The plan is going to be to continue the lockdowns,

640
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: the control and maintain power in certain hands long after

641
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: any reasonable person could think that that was something that

642
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: should happen, And we are seeing now. I believe that

643
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: is at least the early stage plan. But do you

644
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: think that they're going to just make a lot of

645
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: noise about how they're doing things like the Biden administration

646
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: separately from the States and like Cuomo Newsom are doing

647
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: things so differently now when they're really not or do

648
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: you think they're actually gonna take concrete actions that are

649
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: supposed to be making a difference here in the course

650
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: of the pandemic? You know, you see what I mean

651
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: about the distinction. There's literally nothing they can do that

652
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: they couldn't do before, right, I mean, it's not like

653
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: Donald Trump stopped them from doing anything. Yesterday, Nancy Pelosi was,

654
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, talking about this ridiculous bill that they just passed,

655
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: and then she she claimed that, you know, Republicans are

656
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: purposely spreading it basically that they don't believe in science.

657
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: And then she jumps over to how, you know, suddenly

658
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: we have this vaccine out of nowhere, Right, so Republicans

659
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: are anti science but yet also pro vaccine but also

660
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: anti vaccine. It doesn't make any sense because in my view,

661
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: at least, there is no real way that they or

662
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: they have no real plan, and there is no real

663
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: way to fight in a respiratory, you know, a respiratory

664
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: disease like this right, No one's doing better than us.

665
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: Germany's not doing better, England's not doing better. I mean,

666
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: we all do the same. So every little power they

667
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: take is a new a new standard that they've set

668
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: to take power in the future. And that's why it

669
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: upsets me so much when I talk about this stuff.

670
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: I just I don't know if that answers the question,

671
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: but I just feel like every time they take power,

672
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: there's really not a huge amount of scientific basis for it,

673
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: and ignores the Constitution many of many times, and it's

674
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: just a new power that the arbitrarily take that they're

675
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: never going to give back, and that I think is

676
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: very dangerous for the country and that I think is

677
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: going to be Listen, it's a tragedy. We've lost a

678
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: lot of lives. I'm not trying to diminish that. But

679
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: you also have to think long term about the sort

680
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: of governance we're going to have moving forward. Biden will

681
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: completely never complain at once about anyone taking too much power,

682
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: I assume right in some states, so that might be

683
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: the only difference. Speaking of David Harsani, he's a senior

684
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 1: writer at National Review, And Yeah, David, my my expectation

685
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: is that what you're going to what you're going to

686
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: see is like, this is like one hundred days of masking.

687
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I look around that everyone who's saying this

688
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: out loud. Though it's an intelligent point, I just want

689
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: to yell, we already have by Oh, there's no data

690
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: set that disagrees with this that I've seen anywhere at

691
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: least eighty more like nine mass compliance across the whole country.

692
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: So when states that require masking, people are wearing because

693
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 1: you can't go to the store, you can't go shop,

694
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't do it right. So if they

695
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: require them, you're already wearing them. So their game change

696
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: maneuver is to essentially put out I mean, this is

697
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: really what I was leading to with the initial question,

698
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: and you clearly see it the same way. Is that

699
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: it's effectively you're going to be a pr campaign. The

700
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: Biden comes in and it's the same stuff that we see,

701
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: except there'll be no pushback on the tyrannical side. I

702
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: think the dj will be unwilling to be and I

703
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: have criticism with the DJF to this point. I think

704
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 1: they've just said, look, we don't want to get in

705
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: the middle of the pandemic fight, Like, we don't want

706
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: to be suing states when they're trying when they say

707
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: they're trying to save lives. But yeah, they'll make it

708
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: easier for the autocracy about COVID to continue. But I

709
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: don't think they're going to do really all that much

710
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: differently at the federal level. I mean, federal buildings are

711
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: going to fire masks federal and people are already wearing masks.

712
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: I have friends who work in these agencies. You're they're

713
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: wearing masks. It's already happening. Yeah, it's a it's a

714
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: complete fantasy, purposely, you know, it's a complete political fantasy

715
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: or part isn't fantasy to say that something that we're

716
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: not wearing masks when every as you mentioned, every study

717
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: shows that most people wear masks. You can't go into

718
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: stores where this spreads, where there are on masks. There

719
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: are on churches that are like most churches I know,

720
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: for instance, Catholic churches near here, they were before they

721
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: were they had to do anything. They were, they had

722
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: all kinds of you know, social distancing rules in place

723
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: and mask wearing in places. I mean, people are careful,

724
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: because most people are conscientious, even if they don't believe

725
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: it works, they do it to make their neighbors feel better.

726
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: This was just sort of an attack on red states,

727
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: which still, incidentally in most cases do just as well

728
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: as any other states. Florida is just as good as California,

729
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: better than New York, um, you know, so they keep

730
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: changing their arguments. Yeah, I don't see them doing anything else.

731
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: I do worry, as you mentioned, and people sort of

732
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: like the snicker this because it sounds overly idealistic. But

733
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: there is no coronavirus exception in the Constitution, and you

734
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: have no right to tell people how to act on

735
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: a personal level in the way government has been doing.

736
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: I don't care that there's an emergency or not, and

737
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: I just don't see Governor's giving What is it I

738
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: have to ask you. I mean, no one has answered

739
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: this question for me. What is the use of the

740
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: Constitution if every time there's an emergency you get to

741
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: just ignore everything that's in it. No one needs it

742
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: when we're just doing what we're supposed to. No one

743
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: needs free speech when you're saying things everyone likes right,

744
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: No one needs protection of religious freedom, and no one's

745
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: bothering you. This is when we need it, and this

746
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: is when it's being ignored by Michigan, by New York,

747
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: by California, etc. I couldn't agree more. I keep saying,

748
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: the Constitution is not a suggestion box. You know, this

749
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: isn't like I just went for a meal at Chili's

750
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: and I want to tell them that they should get

751
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: me my chicken tenders faster. Right, the Constitution it's supposed

752
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: to withstand these moments of crisis, and I think we'd

753
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: have to all look at this and say it really hasn't.

754
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: And you know, yesterday when I was out numbered on Fox,

755
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: I brought up, because we're doing this whole look China

756
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: as a major threat. I've been saying that for the

757
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: four years we've been focused on Russia, that China is

758
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,240
Speaker 1: a much bigger problem long term for a host of reasons.

759
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: Russia is a manageable issue. It's a problem, but it's

760
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: a manageable issue. China may not be manageable over the

761
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: long term. So we got big issues there. But we're

762
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: talking about Chinese censorship and I kind of had this

763
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: moment and I said it on air and said, well, yeah,

764
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean, granted, they're not going to throw you in

765
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: prison for saying the wrong thing on Twitter. But we've

766
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: absolutely moved in this direction now. I mean there is

767
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: state sanctioned allowable speech about major policy and political issues

768
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: that you will be shut down for saying the wrong

769
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: things about. It's true about elections, it's true about COVID.

770
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, what could be more important than allowing a

771
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: free and open debate about these lockdowns that our major institutions.

772
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: There's free speech as a legal principle, but there's also

773
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: free speech as a concept. And our major institutions that

774
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: are supposed to be defending free speech, the news media,

775
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,479
Speaker 1: social media platforms, they've abandoned ship. Or actually it's worse

776
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: than that. I shouldn't even that. They'll strike that from

777
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: the record. They're part of the pirate ship. It's taking

778
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: over the ship of free speech. They're actually the offenders. Yeah,

779
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with everything you said more. The free

780
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: speech is a legal concept. We have the First Amendment,

781
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: but it's also a liberal concept that we're supposed to

782
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,479
Speaker 1: believe in in our everyday lives. But we have most

783
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: of the major media, and we've talked about this many times,

784
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: pushing back against not pushing back against it, participating in

785
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: the suppression of speech that day don't like because for

786
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: whatever reasons, which is just an illiberal outlook in the world.

787
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: And if you read one of my favorite history books

788
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: as Modern Times by Paul Johnson, sort of just a

789
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: history of the twentieth century, and every single time you said,

790
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: I'm not saying we're the Nazi Germany or anything like that,

791
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: but every single time you see people taking power they

792
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: shouldn't have, it's on the heels of some emergency or

793
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:59,240
Speaker 1: imagined emergency or overstated scare mongering, etc. Every single time.

794
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: And that's what happens here. This is how you corrode

795
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: individual liberty. Now, I don't know that people are that

796
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: idealistic about it anymore, frankly, unfortunately, because I see polls

797
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: and most people are fine with these things. That seems

798
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: to me and maybe I'm wrong, and that to me

799
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: is even a more dangerous and scary sort of portend

800
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: of future events. I don't mean to be a bummer.

801
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: As we're speaking to David Harsani. He's a senior writer

802
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: at National Review dot com. Check out his latest there.

803
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: And whenever I start with I don't want to be

804
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 1: a bummer, it usually means I'm about to be a bummer.

805
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: But I also think that the full economic and just

806
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: societal devastation from the lockdowns. Now, granted, the body count

807
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: is very high from COVID, it's it's terrible, But the

808
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: way this has been presented to us all along was well,

809
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: that will be much less if we do all these

810
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: other things. And now we're seeing the other things. You mean, David,

811
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: over eighty thousand people's looking like over eighty five thousand.

812
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: I think, as of right now, died of drug overdoses

813
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty highest that it has ever been by

814
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: I'll buy a lot um and and that's not even

815
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:09,919
Speaker 1: including miscancer screenings and all these very real ramifications. I

816
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,399
Speaker 1: think that this is going to be a little bit

817
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: like you know, when you sometimes if you have a

818
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: bad you know, if you got like a bayonet wound,

819
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: you don't know how bad it is until the bayonet

820
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: comes out. I think, until the lockdowns, you know, really end,

821
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: and then people realize, well, what happens to all the

822
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: delinquent mortgages, and what happens to what happened to all

823
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: these businesses that haven't made any money in nine months?

824
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think then people realize, did what did

825
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: we get for this? That's that's also a great way

826
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: to you know, a great point. I mean, the negative

827
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: externalities of the lockdowns are going to be immense for

828
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 1: the economy, for our our our our lives, for kids lives,

829
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: or you know, in third grade I think is the

830
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: grade where you like, see if the kids, the kids

831
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,959
Speaker 1: need helps and if you help in reading or whatever,

832
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 1: and if you don't intervene, it gets worse and worse

833
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: and things like that. I mean, how many children are

834
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: going to suffer because of this? How many how many

835
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: depressed people have killed themselves, et cetera, drug overdoses. It's

836
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: just terrible. And we're supposed to weigh these things. Now,

837
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 1: let me ask, I mean, does anyone really believe that

838
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: if we had not locked down things would have been

839
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: that much worse on the COVID front as far as

840
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: the deaths go, I don't know. I keep them, you know,

841
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: I show this and the President retweeted this graph, So

842
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,720
Speaker 1: that got you know, that got me a lot this comment,

843
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: and it's gotten me a lot of unwanted attention on

844
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: line Davis. You and that can happen. I'm sorry, it's

845
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: not possible to be a reasonable person and look at

846
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: what's happening in California right now, in entirely blue state.

847
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: There's there's no Trump, no masking. You know, lobby in

848
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,959
Speaker 1: California doesn't exist. An entirely blue state that was saying

849
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: that they had crushed the virus before. It is not

850
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: possible to look at their not just their cases, but

851
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:52,439
Speaker 1: their hospitalizations and their overall COVID problem and say, yeah,

852
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: they had this figured out. They it would have been

853
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: much worse if they hadn't done all these things. I

854
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: don't think a reasonable person could say that, And they're

855
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: saying it all the time. Yeah I don't. I mean,

856
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: I listen, I don't pretend to have some great expertise

857
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: in this, but it just looking at the world, looking

858
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: at Sweden in other places. I'm not saying it couldn't

859
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: have been marginally worse, but I think weighing what the

860
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: what the cost of this will be for society in

861
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: the long run. Like you said, we can't keep passing

862
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: bills and giving people six hundred dollars checks as first

863
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: of all, it's not going to help them secondly in

864
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: the long run. Secondly, start thinking about what mortgages and

865
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: rents and all these things we've sort of suspended. This

866
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: is real property. People have given loans. This money just

867
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: doesn't disappear simply because people don't pay it back where

868
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: the loans don't. And rent as well, people own those

869
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: buildings they're going to get need to be paid is

870
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: already a backup, and that sort of cascades into other problems,

871
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: and as we've saw in two thousand and seven and

872
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: eight and things like that, when you have a real

873
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,240
Speaker 1: estate market. So I'm just I don't predict anything terrible.

874
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: I don't know how these things are going to play out,

875
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: but it's hard for me to believe that there won't

876
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 1: be real cost to this societally as we move forward.

877
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 1: And then when you ask yourself, we just blindly followed,

878
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, doctor Fauci or whoever else. And I'm not

879
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: trying to just blame him. This is a you know,

880
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: the whole expert class was saying these things, was it

881
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: worth it? And I suspect that it probably was not

882
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: worth it because we still have many, many deaths. I

883
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: think that it would have been far better to protect

884
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: and to be honest, we didn't exactly know how this

885
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: you know, in the beginning what was going on, but

886
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: to protect populations that needed it and allow other people

887
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: to move forward with their lives. And we didn't do that,

888
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: and now it's going to be And but here's the

889
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: one last thing. The thing was, they never switched it

890
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: up right once we knew that it was the older

891
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: folks who were the most potentially going to die from this,

892
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 1: they never switched up their ideas. It was always the same.

893
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: It was always lock it down, don't let people go

894
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 1: to school, don't work, let the teachers or unions run

895
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: the schools, etc. And that I think is where, not

896
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: at the beginning, but later on, where there's the real

897
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: you know, problem lay for us and where the real

898
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: mismanagement of our society lay. David Harsani everybody nashurview dot

899
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: com for his latest David always preciate you my friend.

900
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: Happy New Year to you and we'll talk to you

901
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: soon as we come back. Thank you too. You're in

902
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast.

903
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: Maybe four, but at least three. We offered another half

904
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: trillion dollars in relief. It's only to be blocked by

905
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: Democrats here in the Senate Speaker Pelosi was candid. She

906
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: basically said, well, this is about politics. This is we

907
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: don't want to President Trump to get credit for Congress

908
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: stepping up in a bipartisan way to provide relief to

909
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: the American people in the run up to the election.

910
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: That's what you have to know about this giant bill

911
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: and what happened and what led up to this point. There.

912
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,959
Speaker 1: There's really nothing else that you have to know. There's

913
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: really nothing else about this in terms of the process.

914
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot about the bill itself, but I mean

915
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: in terms of why was it so delayed. Democrats delayed it.

916
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: That's why we waited months for this, and why do

917
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 1: they do that because the misery of the American people

918
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: was to their political benefits. Senator John Cornen, there is

919
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: absolutely correct. I want you to remember that, not just

920
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: because it feels like there might be some accountability if

921
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: enough Americans going into the ballot box in not just

922
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 1: two years, but in a couple of weeks. This Georgia

923
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: Senate run off is essential. Okay, So let's not forget

924
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: that this when we talk about the political battles ahead.

925
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, oh, in a far off land and

926
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: a time, you know, long since forgotten. We're gonna we're

927
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: talking about as soon as we come back from the

928
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: Christmas season, in Christmas break, we're gonna be in this

929
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: Georgia runoff. So I want as many and we have

930
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: a lot of team back in Georgia, a lot of

931
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: people that listen to this show down in Georgia. And

932
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: I want people to remember that the Democrat Party made

933
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: people suffer because it was in their interest politically to

934
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: do so, and people's anxiety their business is made it

935
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: worse for everyone. That is Pelosi's legacy in the twenty

936
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: twenty year of COVID trying to play games, holding the

937
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: American people hostage, denying them money they deserve and are

938
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: owed because she says, so, you're in the freedom hunt.

939
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Unless you stop

940
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: the virus everywhere, you don't stop the virus anywhere. What's

941
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: frustrating to me is we've learned these lessons. We went

942
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: through this in the spring. We saw how COVID came

943
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: and the federal government had no idea. You know, everything

944
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 1: was retrospective. COVID was coming to New York back in February.

945
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 1: It came February March April, and the federal government didn't

946
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: even know it. They thought it was still in China.

947
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: They didn't figure it out until much later. Let's at

948
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: least learn And when you have well the EU countries

949
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: banning UK, you have the UK itself closing down, what

950
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: are the signal the U need. New York is one

951
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: of the lowest infection rates in the United States, with

952
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: the fourth lowest state in the nation. But I can't

953
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: protect New Yorkers unless we protect the entire country. Governor

954
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: Cuomo can't protect anyone. That That's what we've actually learned.

955
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: There's he's not protecting people. This is not true. The

956
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: things that he has done, the decisions that he has

957
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: made that people have opposed at different phases of this

958
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: have been wrong. And the biggest one, of course, was

959
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: sending COVID positive seniors back into nursing homes from the hospital,

960
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: and that had disastrous results. This notion, though, this slogan

961
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,760
Speaker 1: that he trots out here about how unless you stop

962
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: COVID everywhere, you don't stop COVID anywhere. Yeah, that's that's

963
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: true in a sense, and that's why we don't We're

964
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: not stopping COVID. What world is he living in? It

965
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: is not stopping in America. That has not happened. No

966
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: one has stopped this thing. Some have dealt with the

967
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: spread better than others. But anyone who tells you that

968
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: we crushed the virus, or we flattened the curve, or

969
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: those are all delusional statements, but they're invested. They can't

970
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: admit now that what they've been saying didn't really matter

971
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: what they've done, that the additional pain they've piled on

972
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: top of this pandemic was unnecessary. Do you think you're

973
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: ever going to have politicians who will tell you that

974
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,919
Speaker 1: they'll never admit that would how would you ever want

975
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: them in charge of anything ever? Again? If they had

976
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: to go around and tell people, you know what, we

977
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: destroyed entire industries who put millions, tens of millions of

978
00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: people out of work, and we didn't need to do it.

979
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: It was a decision that we made because we were cowards,

980
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: We were ignorant, and we were fearful and exploitative because

981
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:13,280
Speaker 1: they've used this. Look, let's remember, for Democrats, the single

982
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 1: most important political goal of twenty twenty, the single most

983
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: important one, was that they wanted to defeat Donald Trump.

984
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: So they look at everything they did this year, and

985
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: you have to keep this in mind. They look at

986
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: all the decisions that were made, all the shutdowns and

987
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: lockdowns and everything else, and no matter how painful it is,

988
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: no matter what the analysis shows about this after the fact,

989
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: in time, they will be happy with the outcome of

990
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: the lockdowns because the lockdowns created the environment for elevating

991
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. The lockdowns for anyone who doubts me or

992
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: disagrees with me, the lockdowns were the basis for the

993
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: ail in balloting changes that were the absolute, the sine

994
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: qua non, the absolute necessity for the Democrats here was

995
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: to get that change so that they could open the

996
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: doors to the fraud and the irregularities that we saw

997
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: in the election. That was that COVID lockdowns were part

998
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: of the excuse. So they leveraged COVID policy as a

999
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: weapon against Trump, and it was effective for them. We

1000
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: know that it was effective. They go on air and

1001
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 1: they blame the president for hundreds of thousands of dead

1002
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: people in this country, as though every other country in

1003
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: Western Europe, in South America. I mean, do we really

1004
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: believe that some of the small island Asian nations for example,

1005
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 1: or smaller island Asian nations, or a country like Australia.

1006
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: We think that there's so much better at dealing with

1007
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: this virus, or that it's if you're a country that

1008
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: can cut off all contact with the outside world, and

1009
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: you have a small enough population that you can monitor

1010
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,800
Speaker 1: it very very closely, you'll forestall this for a while.

1011
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,280
Speaker 1: Although Japan is now actually starting to have cases growing

1012
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 1: in larger numbers too, Is that likely or is it

1013
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: more likely that some populations, especially in Asia, have already

1014
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: been exposed to enough COVID viruses because of their proximity

1015
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 1: to China, which is where the flu strains come out

1016
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: of China and year out. That's what ends up happening.

1017
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 1: It has to do with the massive, massive livestock populations

1018
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: and the proximity to human beings and the zoonotic transmission

1019
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: that occurs out of Asia, and then that's how you

1020
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: get seasonal flu year in and year out. Right, Avian

1021
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 1: flu swine flu originate and originate in Asia, usually in China,

1022
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 1: and then they make their way around the rest of

1023
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: the world. Now I know the coronaviruses are different than

1024
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: influenza viruses. I always think it's noteworthy too that we

1025
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,959
Speaker 1: call it influenza in reference to what the Italians called

1026
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: it around the Renaissance period, because I thought it was

1027
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: the influence of the stars on people that was called

1028
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: causing them to be sick. So even our name for

1029
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: it shows a real ignorance, a lack of understanding of

1030
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: the intricacies and the realities of a disease like the flu.

1031
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: We know some stuff about it, but there's a lot

1032
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: we still don't know, and with COVID that's certainly still

1033
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,919
Speaker 1: the case. But do we think that some of these

1034
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: countries in Asia, for example, are really similar to us

1035
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: in the way that the virus could be tackled, in

1036
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: the way that their populations have dealt with it, or

1037
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: is it a better approximation for approximation for us to

1038
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: have European countries to be compared with us. They have

1039
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 1: more were geographically more similar. And when you look at that,

1040
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: there's no way you can make an argument that Donald

1041
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 1: Trump is the reason for all of this death. It's

1042
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: it's simply absurd, it's obscene. But they continue to do it.

1043
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: They continue to say things that no honest person could believe.

1044
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: But They like this because it allows them to justify

1045
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 1: everything that they've done, and that's why it's going to

1046
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 1: be so hard to get them to think differently at

1047
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 1: all about any of this. They They're going to continue

1048
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: this narrative. Is what I'm telling you, that it's all

1049
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: Trump's fault, because eventually we're going to look back at

1050
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: these lockdowns. We're gonna look back at what has been

1051
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: done here and realize that this was disast Thanks for

1052
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: listening to The bus Esson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe

1053
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get

1054
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: your podcasts. I believe, intuitively, it's already here. I believe

1055
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: that because if it's been flying around the world, it

1056
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: will be here. And I say that intuitively because I

1057
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: have an educated intuition because I lived this and you

1058
00:57:54,720 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: live this. Also. I am not a potal moron all

1059
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: the time, and so I am aware of the fact

1060
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: that by the time it is on the front page

1061
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: of major in those papers, a virus that has spread very,

1062
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: very rapidly, it's probably already here. Yeah, you don't say,

1063
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: what a shock, Thanks Cuomo, your buffoon. This is why

1064
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: this talk about about shutting down flights. I'm seeing people

1065
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: saying this. We wanted to shut down flights from China

1066
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: because we thought that we didn't realize where the virus

1067
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: had already spread to. We also knew that there was

1068
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: a tremendous hot zone in China, and we needed more

1069
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: time to figure out what we were going to do.

1070
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: But we've had a lot of time to figure out

1071
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do now, and this virus has been

1072
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: in free circulation. There's there's no reason to believe that

1073
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: this is limited to the UK. The more more transmissible

1074
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: strain of this, they say it's seventy percent more infectious,

1075
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: and they think maybe it's more infectious among children, But again, okay,

1076
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: even if it is more infectious among children, it is

1077
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,919
Speaker 1: at you know, I don't like to say no risk

1078
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: because then people will come at you and they'll say, well, look,

1079
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 1: two out of ten million kids that got this have

1080
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: died from COVID, which is about what the number is.

1081
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,919
Speaker 1: Your chances if you're if you're under eighteen of dying

1082
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: from COVID nineteen, if you have a normal immune system,

1083
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 1: are like one in a million. I mean they're actually

1084
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: I don't mean that. I don't mean one in a

1085
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: million as an exaggeration. I think it is about one

1086
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: in a million. It's infinitesimal. But if I say no risk,

1087
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 1: they'll say, oh, but people died. You're lying, right, So

1088
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: it's very, very very entirely acceptable risk. And that's really

1089
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 1: the phrase here. I want to hold in on entirely

1090
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: acceptable risk. We have demagogues and authoritarians and a cowardly

1091
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: media that are all working together right now to eliminate

1092
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: the possibility of you being in charge of determining what

1093
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: is acceptable risk when it comes to viruses and health

1094
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: for you and your family. They're making all these decisions

1095
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: for you because when we pushed back, they say, oh,

1096
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: but there's risk for other people, so it's not risk

1097
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: for you. It's about spreading the virus. And this I

1098
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 1: want to say, yeah, but there's also my freedom, my liberty,

1099
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: and the Constitution at stake here, and there's always been

1100
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: risk to other people from human interaction of aerosolized viruses.

1101
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm also going to say this now, and I want

1102
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: you to remember that I said it asymptomatic transmission has

1103
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: been exaggerated. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I'm not

1104
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 1: saying it's not a concern. It has been exaggerated. Why

1105
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: I know it's been exaggerated because if they had stronger numbers,

1106
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 1: we would see it all the time. But what they

1107
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: do is they have these largely anecdotal studies to push

1108
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: asymptomatic transmission because then it couldn't you can't be relied

1109
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: on to avoid other people if you could feel totally

1110
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: healthy but still spread this virus. Think about that, we're

1111
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: all hiding. We have all these problems because of a

1112
01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: virus that we've been told almost fifty percent of the

1113
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: time forty percent asymptomatic spread. Was what they were saying

1114
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the summer. We were told spreads

1115
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: where people don't even know they have a virus. That is,

1116
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: for most people, that the degree of lethality and danger

1117
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 1: that this virus is for them, they don't even know

1118
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: they have it. I mean, if you have a bad

1119
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: case of strep throat, you're going to be in misery

1120
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: for a few days until your antibiotics kick in. You

1121
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: get this you don't even know you have it, is

1122
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: what they tell us. Now. I think that asymptomatic transmission

1123
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: asympmoatic cases. I'm sure it's very widespread. Asymptomatic transmission doesn't

1124
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: make sense. Let me ask you this now, sorry, let

1125
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: me let me go back for a second. It's not

1126
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: that it doesn't exist asymptomatic transmission. It's that as a

1127
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: widespread problem and cause of this disease, that doesn't add up.

1128
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Why would this disease spread so easily among asymptomatic people.

1129
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 1: But other viruses out there, what the seasonal influenza, different viruses,

1130
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: does not spread so easily among asymptomatic people. It may

1131
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: be pre symptomatic people, and that's a different thing. Do

1132
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: you shed a lot of virus right before you show symptoms? Yes,

1133
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: that is true of other things, so it may be

1134
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: true of this one as well. But what we are

1135
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: told to believe is that this is an outlier in

1136
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: that you could be three days into an infection, feel

1137
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: totally fine, gopher runs outside, go lift some weights, feel

1138
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: totally fine, and people around you and you're just shooting

1139
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: virus at them all the time that can infect them.

1140
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: That's unique. We know this, that's unique compared to other diseases.

1141
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: And where is the really hard evidence of that? Where

1142
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 1: is the hard evidence of it? Well, that they won't

1143
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: provide you with hard evidence because they lack hard evidence,

1144
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: that's the truth. They have a lot of anecdotal data

1145
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: and do this or else. And remember, much of what

1146
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: they've done here is also premised on we can't wait

1147
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 1: to see real data. So we're going to tell you

1148
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: do this based on the data because we can't wait,

1149
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: and if we see how it actually would work in reality,

1150
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 1: we'll already have suffered too many casualties. That's what they

1151
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 1: That's the way they forced us to do all these things.

1152
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:19,439
Speaker 1: You know, they kind of put a gun to wall

1153
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: of our heads simultaneously and say obey us, because by

1154
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: the time you figure out we're not correct with our

1155
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: COVID policies, it'll be too late. I'm sorry that did

1156
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,439
Speaker 1: you think we're not correct, and we are correct, it'll

1157
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 1: be too late. That's their premise. This whole thing has

1158
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 1: gotten so out of control. And I've been saying this

1159
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: for a long time. You know, I was right here.

1160
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: We are lockdown two point zero big second wave. Why

1161
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 1: is it New York City being hit more by this?

1162
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: I think it's important for us to think this one through.

1163
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Why is it New York City being hit harder? We

1164
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 1: have super high population density. We have a lot of people,

1165
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: essential workers and others who are still I'm going into

1166
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: an office every day. I've had friends recently who have

1167
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: come down with COVID, so it's very much out there.

1168
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 1: But New York City has about half the positivity rate

1169
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 1: based on testing. And I know there's a lot of

1170
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: ways testing skews this debate because how much testing are

1171
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: you doing? How the people, let's say, oh, testing doesn't

1172
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: create cases, are being intentionally obtuse. They're being morons, right,

1173
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: because the point isn't that you create it's if you

1174
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 1: test a lot of people and there's a high there's

1175
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 1: a high false positive rate, and on top of that,

1176
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 1: you're catching more of the COVID that's already out there

1177
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: compared to previous testing when you were doing less and

1178
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 1: therefore you weren't seeing as much COVID. There are real

1179
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: reasons why the numbers are skewed. That's obvious that new

1180
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: things through this. I would just note I would return

1181
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: to why does New York City have a lower positivity

1182
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: rate than the rest of New York State? And I

1183
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: think the answer is, well, I shouldn't say the answer

1184
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: is an explanation for it is in the prology testing

1185
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: that we did back in May or June, we saw

1186
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: that about twenty percent of New York City had been infected.

1187
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: That is the official number based on the extrapolation of

1188
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 1: a large number of blood tests looking for antibodies. Twenty

1189
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: percent of the whole city. Since then, we've obviously had

1190
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: a we've had far more cases, and we also did

1191
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: not catch I mean, the twenty percent was probably a

1192
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: low figure. It might have even been eighteen or nineteen

1193
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: percent officially, but it was a low figure. And you've

1194
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: got to add at least another five or ten percent

1195
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: on top of that for what's happened since then, So

1196
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 1: you're getting close to a third of the city would

1197
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: already have had COVID and had anybodies. So while we're

1198
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 1: going around masking and distancing and doing this whole dance,

1199
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 1: we've been doing the whole time, and a New York

1200
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: City where where California was over the summer, because everyone's

1201
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 1: patting themselves in the back, look what a great job

1202
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 1: we're doing. Well, are we doing a great job or

1203
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: do we just have a large percentage of the population

1204
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: that has effectively no longer at risk to this disease,

1205
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 1: and did we already lose so many of the highest

1206
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: risk individuals in the nursing homes that yes, right now

1207
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 1: we're going to look like we're better off. You see

1208
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: what Quoba has done. Cuomo is like a general who

1209
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: loses all of his soldiers in the first engagement of

1210
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,920
Speaker 1: a war, and then three months later at the command

1211
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: staff headquarters is saying, well, I have the lowest casualties

1212
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: this month. Well, yeah, it's because you lost everybody in

1213
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: the first engagement. You lost everyone in the first battle.

1214
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: And there's there's some truth to that as a way

1215
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: of understanding what's happening in New York as I'm sure

1216
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: it's true in other places as well. That really what

1217
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:33,920
Speaker 1: Cuomo has overseen here is a disastrous first response with

1218
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 1: casualties and spread of the virus so high that now

1219
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: in the second wave, New York City still has problems

1220
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 1: to be People are not all immune to this. I

1221
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 1: get that, but in the second wave of this, what

1222
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 1: you have are people, a large number of people who

1223
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 1: can't get it, which slows the transmission dramatically. And of

1224
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 1: course they're gonna say it's masks in social distancing, but

1225
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: whose theory makes more sense, minor theirs. Whose theory makes

1226
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: more than Look at California, look at Florida in New York,

1227
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 1: whose theories make more sense? Who is actually supported by

1228
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: the data? And who's part of this occult of the

1229
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 1: magical mask? That's what a doctor Fauci. Your mask is magic.

1230
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was at the beginning of the year,

1231
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 1: But so much science has changed since then. Yeah, what

1232
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: science has changed? Oh, the bureaucrats got a little taste

1233
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: of power, that's what changed. Are you worried about the

1234
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 1: stock market this year? Next year? What's going to happen?

1235
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: What about the value of the dollar, what about inflation?

1236
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: Can you see the future? I don't think anybody can.

1237
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: But you can prepare for an uncertain economic outlook and

1238
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: for all the debt dis country's piling up by diversifying

1259
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 1: New York Post? New York's restaurant killing rules make no

1260
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 1: sense and it keeps getting worse. Carol, Great to have

1261
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: you back on the show. Hi, how's it going good?

1262
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 1: So the restaurant rules are crazy? Just just go over

1263
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: what are some of the most absurd ones for everyone

1264
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 1: to know. Well, while while the cases are rising and

1265
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 1: everyone's all in this panic, the authorities are taking the

1266
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 1: time to tell you things that are. It's the absurdity

1267
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 1: just keeps mounting. Yeah, well, I just want to also

1268
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: make it clear that the cases, while they are rising,

1269
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 1: they're the second lowest in the state in New York City,

1270
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 1: and so in New York City is the only area

1271
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: of the state that has restaurant indoor dining closed. So

1272
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting that the place with the second

1273
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: lowest numbers, the second lowest hospitalization, is the only place

1274
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:30,719
Speaker 1: targeted for closure. So, right off the bat, that's pretty

1275
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 1: ridiculous to me. They try to stop people from being

1276
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: able to use the bathrooms when they're in the outdoor dining.

1277
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,600
Speaker 1: They're saying that people can't go into the restaurant to

1278
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 1: use the bathroom, and the restaurants pushed back on that

1279
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,799
Speaker 1: hard because it was obviously completely absurd, and they reverse

1280
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: themselves on that on the same day in the same

1281
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 1: dick Cat they also put out that you had to

1282
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 1: order if you were getting takeout from a restaurant, you

1283
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,560
Speaker 1: had to order it by phone or on the internet.

1284
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: And so a lot of these small businesses, like for example,

1285
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 1: the coffee shop on my corner, it's one person behind

1286
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: the counter and or maybe two, you know, one person

1287
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: making the coffee during the busy times and one person

1288
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 1: taking the money. There's not a third person to go

1289
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 1: out to the street and sorry, because you also had

1290
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: to pick it up curbside. That was the other second

1291
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,600
Speaker 1: part of that. There's not a third person to go

1292
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 1: out in the street and pick it up curbside. There's

1293
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: not a third person to take orders on the phone

1294
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 1: or via the internet. You can only have so many

1295
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 1: people in the space. So yeah, there's all these insane things.

1296
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 1: They keep changing the rules on these restaurant owners. I

1297
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: spoke to so many restaurant owners. There's just so much

1298
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 1: that they all these kinds of rules being thrown at

1299
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 1: them all the time, changed all the time, and it's

1300
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 1: a really bad situation. At what point are people going

1301
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 1: to realize who aren't in the restaurant industry that if

1302
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 1: this continues, there's no way And as you point out,

1303
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: I think that's important. On the one hand, Cuomo is

1304
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: telling us at the state level, New York's actually doing

1305
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 1: pretty well as a state given what's going on in

1306
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 1: much the rest of the country. When it comes to COVID,

1307
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 1: New York City specifically is great, is doing well, and

1308
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 1: so they've they've shut indoor dining almost it seems like

1309
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 1: as a preventative measure, even though they only said one

1310
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,919
Speaker 1: point seven percent of cases come from New York City.

1311
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: But that preventative measure, I mean, the mentality behind this

1312
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: means as far as I can see, and I've been

1313
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 1: saying there's going to be another lockdown, which we're in

1314
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: now for six months, yeah, that this will continue until

1315
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 1: at least April or May. And what do they think

1316
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,599
Speaker 1: is going to be left? Yeah? Right exactly. Every time

1317
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 1: that any of these people who support restaurant closures, like

1318
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 1: talk about their favorite restaurant closing, I just have to

1319
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: fight my tongue because I could just lose it on them,

1320
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: like what do you think is closing these restaurants if

1321
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 1: not the fact that they can't exist. And the other

1322
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 1: thing is I went out to a restaurant last week

1323
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:57,440
Speaker 1: and it was thirty five degrees outside. We sat outside

1324
01:11:57,720 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 1: and it was the heat lamp. And the first hour

1325
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 1: you're kind of like, okay, you have a drink, you

1326
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: take up her coat, you're under heat lap, You're doing okay.

1327
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 1: The second hour, I could not feel my toes and

1328
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: it was just I don't know how often I can

1329
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: do that. I don't know how often anybody can do that.

1330
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 1: But the thing is, the thing that I really thought

1331
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 1: as I was sitting there in this restaurant that most

1332
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 1: of the tables were full outside, is that if these

1333
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: people didn't have this outdoor space to go to, they

1334
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 1: didn't have a restaurant to go to, they would be

1335
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 1: somewhere else. They'd be inside, inside their homes. It's not

1336
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:29,639
Speaker 1: like people are not going to gather. That's it. They're gathering.

1337
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 1: This lockdown thing is over. Nobody's following it anymore. It's

1338
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: it's over, and our politicians just have to face it.

1339
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:40,680
Speaker 1: It's done. Speaking to Carol Markowitz, opinion columnist at The

1340
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 1: New York Post, she's got a piece up on New

1341
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 1: York's restaurant killing rules, and I just would wonder, you know,

1342
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,840
Speaker 1: how we are how are we doing right now with schools.

1343
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:53,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that we'd be in a break anyway,

1344
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 1: but give me an update on the status of the schools. Well,

1345
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 1: you know it, it was a really splashy story when

1346
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 1: schools reopened in November, because actually in December, sorry early December,

1347
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 1: because dolde Blasio said, Okay, now we're going to reopen

1348
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 1: schools after closing them for really no reason at all,

1349
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: and we're going to move to a full time model.

1350
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,759
Speaker 1: And I almost fell down on the floor. We're moving

1351
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 1: to a full time school model. Wow, that's amazing, and

1352
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 1: it was so believable because it's totally not happening. No,

1353
01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 1: very few schools are opening full time. The insanity and

1354
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 1: ineptitude behind all these decisions. When they Blasio made that announcement,

1355
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 1: he got his headlines. But almost no school that I

1356
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 1: know of is going full time because they just don't

1357
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 1: have the space to keep social distancing and and do

1358
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:48,719
Speaker 1: full time. And my concern, honestly is already not even

1359
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 1: for this year. I sort of think this year is

1360
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,519
Speaker 1: done and schools are not going to improve, and they're

1361
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 1: not going to open for any longer length of time

1362
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: than they are right now. My concern is September. My

1363
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 1: concern is and still the kids won't have a vaccine.

1364
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 1: There's not even trials yet for kids under twelve, So

1365
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: what's going to happen if they still have the social distance?

1366
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean that elementary school kids are starting to be

1367
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 1: going to school at most two or three days a week,

1368
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 1: and it's really just not a path forward. This is

1369
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's stunning, and it's honestly pretty saddening

1370
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,759
Speaker 1: just to even think about this, But I think it's important.

1371
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: I think everyone needs to know that. This is why

1372
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: he keeps saying, you know, the closing restaurants. Now they

1373
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 1: tell you it's for a couple, There's no way it's

1374
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 1: only for a couple of weeks, because once once they've

1375
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 1: got the closure, they don't want to be the ones.

1376
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 1: You know, it's much much more politically dangerous in their minds,

1377
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 1: forget about any health danger, politically dangerous to reopen the

1378
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 1: middle of winter and then there's a spike and then

1379
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:49,599
Speaker 1: it's on you. So once they get closures, once they

1380
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: get these rules in place, the overwhelming momentum is going

1381
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 1: to be you know, everything that they're doing to us

1382
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 1: right now and everything they say they may still do

1383
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 1: to us, they're going to carry that all the way

1384
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 1: through the winter. And you know, and as I say, it,

1385
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:06,680
Speaker 1: really April or May as when we'll start to be told, oh,

1386
01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 1: maybe you can have some normalcyback, even with the vaccine

1387
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 1: out there. Because remember the vaccine is going to take time.

1388
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: Everyone knows that. But also they have created a near

1389
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 1: zero risk tolerance in the public perception right for what

1390
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:24,680
Speaker 1: we can do, and the vaccine doesn't bring the risk

1391
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 1: to zero. And you know, the other thing I've been

1392
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: just talking about a lot lately is that our pathetic

1393
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:32,679
Speaker 1: New York City politicians are not standing up to Clomo. Again.

1394
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 1: Our restaurants is the only restaurants closed, and in a

1395
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:37,719
Speaker 1: lot of cases, our schools are the only schools closed,

1396
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: and most of the suburban areas schools are open full time.

1397
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 1: It is all under you know, on Cuomo's watch, and

1398
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:48,760
Speaker 1: none of our pathetic, useless steet warming politicians who will

1399
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:50,639
Speaker 1: not stand up for our city are saying a word

1400
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 1: about it. You know, the these councilmen going to these

1401
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 1: protests for restaurants without not protesting to open the restaurants. No,

1402
01:15:56,920 --> 01:16:00,600
Speaker 1: they're they're protesting to get a federal bill out for

1403
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 1: the restaurants. Or another councilman in Brooklyn is really into

1404
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 1: getting insurance companies to pay for these restaurants. They're basically

1405
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 1: like someone else has to pay. And that's where they are.

1406
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: They're not saying, let's open these restaurants. They're saying, so much,

1407
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: give these people money. We should have a rent free

1408
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 1: you that's the other great idea which I have rent

1409
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:21,840
Speaker 1: free and just passed the pain along to landlords because

1410
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna approtest for them in three months.

1411
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 1: You think they're going to do about evictions, I'm not

1412
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:30,879
Speaker 1: sure what they can do about it right now. Commercial

1413
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 1: evictions can still go on. I think they're trying to

1414
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 1: pressure Governor Como would have stopped that, which is you know,

1415
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 1: it's such a tough spot because obviously if the landmour

1416
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 1: is not getting paid, they could figure it out with themselves.

1417
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 1: With the restaurant, they can the restaurant can maybe have

1418
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 1: a payment plan, or they can negotiate the rent down,

1419
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:51,120
Speaker 1: because it's not like somebody else is coming into the space.

1420
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 1: Right now, we're speaking of Carol Mark Whit's got a

1421
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: great column the New York Post on what's happening to

1422
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:58,679
Speaker 1: the restaurant and hospitality industry in New York City because

1423
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 1: of these honestly, just in some cases absurd and frivolous

1424
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,920
Speaker 1: rules and regulations that are being instituted. It's just it's

1425
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 1: just nonsense. But but Carol, are you are you beginning

1426
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 1: to hear a little more from your Brooklyn Night I'm

1427
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: a Manhattanite. Are you hearing more from from Democrats or

1428
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 1: seeing any willingness on their side to say Because for

1429
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:22,559
Speaker 1: a while, as long as this was about Trump, it

1430
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 1: didn't matter. It didn't matter how much we suffered anything else.

1431
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 1: It was you can't give into this. The anti lockdown

1432
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 1: thing and Trump were intertwined. Now I look around the city,

1433
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, have you guys had enough yet? This really

1434
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 1: isn't about Trump? Do you see any change in mentality?

1435
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: Or they really think in Saint Fauci we trust. The

1436
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 1: only thing I've seen is shift on is school because

1437
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:47,600
Speaker 1: the New York Times, the Atlantic, they all sort of

1438
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: made it okay to shift your position on schools. But

1439
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 1: they still don't care about the science of whether people

1440
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 1: are catching this at restaurants, which again they're not. And

1441
01:17:57,240 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what it will take. I really don't.

1442
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 1: I call these full the pajama class because they're sitting

1443
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 1: at home and their pajamas, getting paid on their laptops, like,

1444
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: and they don't care what's going on around them. And

1445
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 1: it's really bad that they are unable to see their

1446
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 1: neighbor's pain and the way that their livelihoods are being

1447
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 1: destroyed for no reason. I think first to say, let's

1448
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: close restaurants if there was evidence that restaurants were contributing

1449
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 1: to like a high spread, But there just isn't. And again,

1450
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:26,560
Speaker 1: anybody going to a restaurant is probably hanging out with

1451
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 1: the same people at home anyway, So shutting down indoor

1452
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 1: dining is just moving it indoors to other locations. Carol Marco,

1453
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 1: It's Carol and the New York Post. Great writing, Thanks

1454
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 1: so much for joining you, Thank you so much for

1455
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:42,719
Speaker 1: having me. We mentioned Deblasio before. What is he really

1456
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 1: focused on? What is Deblasio focusing in on right now?

1457
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:50,640
Speaker 1: Where does what does he think his energy in his

1458
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 1: time should be spent. I like to say, very bluntly,

1459
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 1: our mission is to redistribute wealth. A lot of people

1460
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 1: bristle at that phrase. That is, in fact phrase we

1461
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,920
Speaker 1: need to use. We have been doing this work for

1462
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:08,839
Speaker 1: seven years to more equitably redistribute resources throughout our school system.

1463
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:16,160
Speaker 1: This guy, this buffoon, is giving Marxism lectures while the

1464
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 1: city of New York is in desperate straits. That's really

1465
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:24,640
Speaker 1: what he's doing, redistribute the wealth. This guy thinks he

1466
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:27,360
Speaker 1: is on a mission from on high although I don't

1467
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 1: know what higher power he believes in one or the other.

1468
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 1: But this is a guy thinks that his purpose in

1469
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:36,600
Speaker 1: life isn't to make New York the crown jewel of

1470
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: American cities and the greatest city in the world, which

1471
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: I think it has been for a long time. I mean,

1472
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 1: I love this place. Don't get me wrong. I keep

1473
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:47,760
Speaker 1: coming back. I've moved twice to DC and I said

1474
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: I've had enough. I want to go back to New York.

1475
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: I love New York City. My family is here. This

1476
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:54,559
Speaker 1: place is a part of me. It's been a huge

1477
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:57,800
Speaker 1: part of my life, and I've never felt before. I mean, yeah,

1478
01:19:57,800 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 1: after nine eleven, we got hit badly, but we rally

1479
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 1: and we knew once we got almost a year past

1480
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: nine to eleven, and if you look at where we

1481
01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 1: are now, you know, almost a year past the pandemic

1482
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 1: to where we would have been a year past nine

1483
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 1: to eleven. You know, we rallied, and yet it was

1484
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: a terrible loss, and we had to come together and

1485
01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:19,120
Speaker 1: support you know, NYPD and FDNY after the losses that

1486
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:22,000
Speaker 1: they suffered, and friends and members and family members of

1487
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: our community. But we knew, we rallied. We knew we

1488
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:27,680
Speaker 1: were coming back to as a city and as a country,

1489
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 1: and there was that mentality of they're they're not going

1490
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 1: to shut us down. They're not going to stop us

1491
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:37,640
Speaker 1: from being who we are with this, with this, with

1492
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 1: this pandemic as it plays out here. I look around

1493
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 1: and I say, there are a lot of people who

1494
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 1: don't really see the restrictions and the destruction of the

1495
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 1: economy and of social and cultural life, and they don't

1496
01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:55,960
Speaker 1: see that as an urgent problem. They liked the control

1497
01:20:56,439 --> 01:21:00,000
Speaker 1: and they like the belief that they're saving lives by

1498
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:03,240
Speaker 1: being the busybodies that are up in your face telling

1499
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 1: you wear a mask. They think that that's really the

1500
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 1: great contribution that they're making to this. All you do

1501
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 1: is wear a mask. You're a good person, not one

1502
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 1: of those bad people. And look, I wear a mask.

1503
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:16,639
Speaker 1: I have to, and I'm very I wear fresh masks,

1504
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 1: I washed my mask. I'm very judicious about it because

1505
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 1: I have to be, because you have no choice here.

1506
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 1: So don't don't think that I'm walking around. I went

1507
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:27,679
Speaker 1: through a period over the summer where it was just absurd,

1508
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 1: and there's so few cases in New York City. Yeah,

1509
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: and then everyone's complaining I was the unmasked guy walking

1510
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:37,639
Speaker 1: around my building. And what I wasn't sitting in rooms

1511
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: with people for a long period of time, but just

1512
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 1: walking past them for ten seconds. You know that. And

1513
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 1: now here we are end up Blasio to bring this

1514
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: all full circle. The Blasio is out there talking about Marxism.

1515
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 1: He used the destruction of New York City as we

1516
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: know it as an opportunity. You have to remember that

1517
01:21:55,240 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: we have the enormous vacancy issue on all these hotels.

1518
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 1: I mean, who wants to stay in a New York

1519
01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 1: City hotel right now? You want to go stay one

1520
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 1: of those big hotels near Times Square? You know, I

1521
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:09,760
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people are excited about that.

1522
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 1: And and never mind all the commercial real estate that

1523
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 1: is not getting us right now, and they're saying they

1524
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 1: want to switch it to residential. In some cases they're

1525
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 1: looking at changing the zoning to do that. You know

1526
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 1: what Deblasio is gonna want to do. He's gonna want

1527
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 1: to create, He's gonna want to take, He's gonna jack

1528
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:32,599
Speaker 1: taxes up on people who are you know, earners, and

1529
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:34,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna try to take and take as much money

1530
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 1: as he can to subsidize other people's housing. And I

1531
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: think his real plan down if he can, if he's

1532
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:42,559
Speaker 1: got time to do it before he has to leave office,

1533
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: will be to set up as much subsidized housing in

1534
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:50,200
Speaker 1: some of these office spaces as he can, whether it's

1535
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:53,640
Speaker 1: middle income housing or however. The New York then nyc

1536
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:58,599
Speaker 1: HA is going to do it, but they'll set up something,

1537
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 1: They'll set up some subside housing. I mean, Deblasio really

1538
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: thinks that a poorer, more dangerous New York City is

1539
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 1: an opportunity to yes, you guessed it, redistribute the wealth,

1540
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 1: as if that's going to make this place better, as

1541
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 1: if that's going to improve things like that's why people

1542
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: show up in New York, to have some idiot Marxist

1543
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,840
Speaker 1: in charge telling them what they can and can't do.

1544
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 1: I have to tell you there's a school on the

1545
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 1: Upper east Side, and it was I knew the school

1546
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:31,720
Speaker 1: a little bit when I was growing up. I knew

1547
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:33,639
Speaker 1: people went there. I went to Regis, which was also

1548
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 1: in the Upper east Side. Regis was the Catholic Scholarship

1549
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 1: school on eighty fifth Street. This school was just a

1550
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:41,679
Speaker 1: few blocks away in eighty nine Street, the Dalton School,

1551
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you this little break from on

1552
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:45,720
Speaker 1: the COVID talk. I've got to tell you about the

1553
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 1: list of They're saying it was a starting port for negotiations,

1554
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 1: but it's really a list of demands for faculty members

1555
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:56,640
Speaker 1: there of the school and what it has to do.

1556
01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: This the same kind of woke and social justice focus

1557
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: that guides the minds of someone like a build a

1558
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 1: Blasio on display at a school that's a fifty I

1559
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 1: think it's fifty four thousand dollars a year tuition for

1560
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:16,680
Speaker 1: the first grade. We're not even talking about I mean

1561
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 1: there's a high school too, But you got you got

1562
01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 1: eight year olds, nine year olds. Parents are writing over

1563
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:25,600
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars checks so they can learn their ABC's.

1564
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:30,840
Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex

1565
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 1: and Show podcast. This one is for the parents out

1566
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:40,880
Speaker 1: there and for a wall for anyone, for the kids

1567
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:44,840
Speaker 1: that are listening. Probably two That and my mom tells

1568
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,719
Speaker 1: a story around the family dinner table when we celebrate

1569
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:51,520
Speaker 1: my birthday every year. That I am now a syndicated

1570
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:55,439
Speaker 1: radio host on over one hundred and eighty stations, and

1571
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 1: I've filled in for the biggest radio shows in the

1572
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:01,640
Speaker 1: country with success in turn of the listenership and the

1573
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: response to Rush Limbaugh to Sean Hannity to Glenn Beck

1574
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 1: that the three biggest and best shows on the radio

1575
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 1: right now from the syndication perspective. So I've done all that,

1576
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:16,720
Speaker 1: and I think it's worth noting for everybody that I

1577
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 1: am somebody who started out with a whole lot of

1578
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:25,120
Speaker 1: trouble talking. I was a kid who had a speech impediment.

1579
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:30,720
Speaker 1: I always forget the exact but it's essentially a pronunciation defect.

1580
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 1: There was a more official speech therapist term for it.

1581
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 1: But I was somebody who just heard words one way

1582
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 1: and mispronounced them. And this was really embarrassing. As a kid,

1583
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:46,479
Speaker 1: I actually mispronounced believe it or not, I mispronounced my

1584
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:50,800
Speaker 1: own name, and yes I would. I would tell people

1585
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:53,600
Speaker 1: my name was I would tell people. And I was

1586
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 1: a little kid, you know, seven and six seven years

1587
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 1: old my name was butt. And you can imagine that

1588
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 1: that did not go over well with my years. And

1589
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:03,600
Speaker 1: I was very aware. And I also I had to

1590
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 1: have speech therapy lessons as a kid, and so this

1591
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 1: is about the second or third grade speech therapy lessons.

1592
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 1: And I also had to have additional outside tutoring because

1593
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:19,600
Speaker 1: I was falling behind, probably because I lacked confidence in

1594
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:23,120
Speaker 1: a lack of confidence in all the different areas of

1595
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:25,760
Speaker 1: academics at that, you know, writing and trying to begin

1596
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,720
Speaker 1: reading and things like that. And my mom, who is

1597
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: a superstar champion mom of the universe, never gave up

1598
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,519
Speaker 1: on me, and my dad encouraged me, and they stuck

1599
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 1: through it with me. And by the time I got

1600
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 1: to the fifth grade, I was the top student by

1601
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 1: far in my class. By the time I got to

1602
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:46,120
Speaker 1: the eighth grade, I got a full scholarship to a

1603
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:48,360
Speaker 1: private high school in New York. It was one hundred

1604
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 1: thousand dollars scholarship. So stick by your kids and those

1605
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:54,639
Speaker 1: you're listening to this. If you got any trouble in school,

1606
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,760
Speaker 1: you have a speech impediment, you have to stutter, stay

1607
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: on it, stay grade, stay proud, keeper shield high. You're

1608
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:08,600
Speaker 1: in the Freedom Hut. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

1609
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:15,880
Speaker 1: I was a kid making fun of Dalton kids because

1610
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, all that school rivalry stuff. We were in

1611
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 1: the same neighborhood. I never thought I'd be on radio

1612
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 1: later on talking about how crazy the Dalton school has gotten,

1613
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 1: but This is indicative of the whole woke mindset that

1614
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:29,920
Speaker 1: this is just it's an example. I want to be

1615
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:32,720
Speaker 1: clear about this, but it's one that this could be

1616
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:38,360
Speaker 1: any corporation. Any company these days has training like this

1617
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 1: city employees in different places, as seen by some of

1618
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:45,760
Speaker 1: the work that mister Christopher rufo of. I think he's

1619
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:50,800
Speaker 1: with the Manhattan Institute, but the work that he's done

1620
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,680
Speaker 1: to show that people get this anti racism training as

1621
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:57,599
Speaker 1: part of being a municipal employee in places like Seattle,

1622
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:03,799
Speaker 1: you get anti race racism. Isn't the absence of racism.

1623
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 1: You see, they're escalate the rhetoric changes for a purpose.

1624
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:10,800
Speaker 1: This is not just because people are bored in the

1625
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:13,639
Speaker 1: social justice circles. They're actually doing this for a reason.

1626
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 1: So they create this demand of anti racism. And what

1627
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:22,560
Speaker 1: that effectively is is that it means you have to

1628
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:26,920
Speaker 1: take affirmative steps. You have to take actions as prescribed

1629
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:30,800
Speaker 1: to work against racism. It's not enough to just not

1630
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:35,600
Speaker 1: be racist. You have to do and institutions have to

1631
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:41,519
Speaker 1: do penance in order to make up for the racism

1632
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:44,040
Speaker 1: all around them and the racism they benefit from and

1633
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:47,000
Speaker 1: the racism of history. Now do you ever think that

1634
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:48,880
Speaker 1: you reach a point where you've done enough of this?

1635
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: Is there ever such a thing as enough anti racism?

1636
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:56,519
Speaker 1: Remember not we shouldn't be racist. We all agree on

1637
01:28:56,640 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 1: that racism is bad, racism is immoral, this is something else.

1638
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 1: This is well. Now, there are demands that come from

1639
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: the from the anti racism movement that you have to meet.

1640
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:11,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you've done. Like I could sit

1641
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:13,320
Speaker 1: here and say, well, hold on a second, I'm the

1642
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:16,599
Speaker 1: I'm the chief financial officer of this company, and uh,

1643
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this. I don't want to

1644
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 1: give into your list of demands because I treat all

1645
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 1: my employees very well. I advance. You know, I've got

1646
01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:28,719
Speaker 1: African American employees and very senior roles and they're very happy.

1647
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,080
Speaker 1: And I treat everybody as equals and I'm a good person.

1648
01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:34,720
Speaker 1: And the anti racism movement would say no, no, no, no, no,

1649
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 1: no no. That doesn't matter. You give in to the

1650
01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 1: anti racism demands because of the system around you that's

1651
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:47,280
Speaker 1: even allowed you, as a white male, to be the CFO.

1652
01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:53,680
Speaker 1: Don't you see your actions, your decency, your color blindness

1653
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:56,200
Speaker 1: in the way you treat people. None of that matters

1654
01:29:56,240 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 1: to the anti racism movement, because ultimately this is a shakedown, right. Ultimately,

1655
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 1: this is do as we say or else. It's not

1656
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:06,840
Speaker 1: about whether you're a good person or your racist or not,

1657
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 1: or your institutions racist or not. There's racism everywhere. And

1658
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:14,880
Speaker 1: the only way that you can be absolved of the

1659
01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:20,080
Speaker 1: constant original sin of existing as a white American today

1660
01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:24,719
Speaker 1: who does not take part in the anti racism movement

1661
01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:27,360
Speaker 1: is to take part of the anti racism movement. There's

1662
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:31,000
Speaker 1: no other way. There's there's no other option. And now

1663
01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:32,920
Speaker 1: this brings me to the Dalton School. I mean, this

1664
01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:36,040
Speaker 1: is kind of hilarious. This place is a bastion of

1665
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:38,800
Speaker 1: ultra elitism. I'm just going to say this right now

1666
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:40,920
Speaker 1: because I knew a lot of these kids growing up.

1667
01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:44,400
Speaker 1: And I also went to a college that a lot

1668
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:46,760
Speaker 1: of Dalton kids like to go to, or a fair

1669
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:49,320
Speaker 1: number of them want to go to, and you know,

1670
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,720
Speaker 1: aspire to go to. And I just tell you there

1671
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:54,720
Speaker 1: are plenty of kids that go to Harvard and go

1672
01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:57,200
Speaker 1: to you know, Princeton and Stanford and all these schools

1673
01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:00,400
Speaker 1: who don't have parents paying fifty four thousand dollars a

1674
01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:02,439
Speaker 1: year to send them to school, and this is just nuts.

1675
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 1: It's just not worth it. I mean, if you're if

1676
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,559
Speaker 1: you're so rich that money has very little meaning. I mean,

1677
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:10,200
Speaker 1: I guess maybe, and it creates this sort of social connection.

1678
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:12,519
Speaker 1: But a lot of a lot of kids who go

1679
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:15,679
Speaker 1: to these kinds of these kinds of super fancy private schools.

1680
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:17,400
Speaker 1: And again I know, and many of them were friends

1681
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:20,120
Speaker 1: of mine or people that I knew growing up. They

1682
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:23,640
Speaker 1: don't end up been very much they they end up

1683
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if mom and dad have so much money

1684
01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:28,360
Speaker 1: that they can buy their way through life, maybe, but

1685
01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:31,720
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money, right, That's that's a very

1686
01:31:31,840 --> 01:31:36,680
Speaker 1: high bar. Anyway, the Dalton School list of demands, and

1687
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:40,040
Speaker 1: this comes after remember Meghan Kelly is very very high

1688
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:44,960
Speaker 1: profile removal of her children from the Collegiate School, which

1689
01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:48,160
Speaker 1: was a rival of my school, Saint David's, growing up.

1690
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:51,599
Speaker 1: So I know the Collegiate School very well. Meghan Kelly,

1691
01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 1: formerly of Fox News, now you know, does her own projects.

1692
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:58,679
Speaker 1: She pulled her child out publicly, just said I'm pulling

1693
01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:01,040
Speaker 1: my kid out, and I believe it was over, Although

1694
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if she really got into this much yet,

1695
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 1: I believe it was over this sort of transgender and

1696
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,400
Speaker 1: gender identity training that was being look that they were

1697
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 1: trying to brainwash her son into Collegiates, an all boys school.

1698
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:15,879
Speaker 1: I don't even you can't even say that anymore. Collegiate

1699
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:24,160
Speaker 1: is a school of self identified male gender individuals. But

1700
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:27,880
Speaker 1: she pulled her student out daltin very similar place. Here's

1701
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:29,200
Speaker 1: this stuff that they want. I mean, this is where

1702
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:31,880
Speaker 1: you really get into the why is this getting so

1703
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:36,320
Speaker 1: much attention? Now? Apparent leaked a memo and it's a

1704
01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 1: list of demands. One hundred and twenty nine faculty and

1705
01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:43,760
Speaker 1: staff members signed this. That's most of the faculty and

1706
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 1: staff at the Daltins school. I can tell you that.

1707
01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:48,160
Speaker 1: All right, that's a big chunk of I mean maybe

1708
01:32:48,200 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 1: they've got two hundred and faculty ins that maybe, I

1709
01:32:50,439 --> 01:32:54,000
Speaker 1: don't know, that would be a lot. I mean, one

1710
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:56,080
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine is going to be almost everybody.

1711
01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:59,599
Speaker 1: So the faculty and staff signed this thing. They attest

1712
01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:03,760
Speaker 1: to this, and this was given out to parents, and

1713
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:06,960
Speaker 1: here are some of the demands laid out. They want

1714
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:13,599
Speaker 1: twelve diversity officers. That's right, they want twelve adults paid.

1715
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure a very competitive salary for something that they

1716
01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:20,640
Speaker 1: think that anyone could do. Twelve adults, probably paid all

1717
01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:23,880
Speaker 1: in the six figure range, whose only job is to

1718
01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 1: go around this school which does not have I mean,

1719
01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:28,240
Speaker 1: I find out how many student only has a few

1720
01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:32,200
Speaker 1: with the high school, probably five hundred kids in the

1721
01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:38,680
Speaker 1: whole thing and something like that. But this school is

1722
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:41,160
Speaker 1: going to have twelve people and twelve adults whose only

1723
01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:44,360
Speaker 1: job is to go around and effectively find racism and

1724
01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:47,960
Speaker 1: lack of race equity in the school in the way

1725
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:49,920
Speaker 1: that it's it's doing, you know, whatever it is that

1726
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:52,280
Speaker 1: it's doing, whether we're talking about academics or anything else.

1727
01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:55,680
Speaker 1: That's a lot of diversity. I mean, I think one

1728
01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:58,080
Speaker 1: diversity officer is too many, because why do you need

1729
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:02,120
Speaker 1: diversity officers? Can people just you know, if the school

1730
01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:05,960
Speaker 1: wants to make a play to be very diverse, the

1731
01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:08,439
Speaker 1: admissions committee can do that and they can have that

1732
01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 1: as part of their ethos, and you need someone to

1733
01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:16,080
Speaker 1: monitor that well. Having a diversity officers part of the diversity.

1734
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:19,559
Speaker 1: That's part of the whole diversity apparatus. You understand, it's

1735
01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:21,160
Speaker 1: not just about the students. You got to also have

1736
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:24,679
Speaker 1: some adults who are diversity officers, who, of course themselves

1737
01:34:24,720 --> 01:34:28,639
Speaker 1: are generally going to be from a diversity pool. They're

1738
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:33,080
Speaker 1: going to be from hired from disadvantage minority groups. That's

1739
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:37,639
Speaker 1: the way this works. This was a great one. Fifty

1740
01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:41,960
Speaker 1: percent of all donations to the Dalton School which has

1741
01:34:42,040 --> 01:34:45,599
Speaker 1: in ultra wealthy, a lot of hedge funders as parents,

1742
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:47,920
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, very very famous, the other

1743
01:34:48,040 --> 01:34:51,519
Speaker 1: billionaires who send their kids to Dalton, and fifty percent

1744
01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:53,880
Speaker 1: of all donations to the schools have to be rerouted

1745
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 1: to public city schools. So they want to take If

1746
01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:01,599
Speaker 1: you give a check for a million dollars to Dalton,

1747
01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:04,200
Speaker 1: which people usually do, so that there are other kids

1748
01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:06,599
Speaker 1: can get into Dalton, that's the whole game. But if

1749
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:08,360
Speaker 1: you give your check for a million dollars to Dalton,

1750
01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:11,840
Speaker 1: now the faculty and staff of that school one half

1751
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,479
Speaker 1: of that money to go to the public school system,

1752
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:18,080
Speaker 1: forced to force donation. How well do you think that's

1753
01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna And let me all study this. Dalton's very liberal.

1754
01:35:21,080 --> 01:35:23,720
Speaker 1: It's a very liberal school, very liberal parents. You're not

1755
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 1: gonna find it. You're not gonna find a lot of

1756
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:29,599
Speaker 1: buck Sexton listeners among the Dalton parents, that's for sure.

1757
01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:32,960
Speaker 1: They're all they're all watching you know Anderson, Cooper and

1758
01:35:33,120 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 1: Tapper and matt Ow and what reading the New York

1759
01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:38,640
Speaker 1: Times libs, you're gonna have a ninety percent plus of

1760
01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:41,479
Speaker 1: them are going to be Libs. Dalton's a very very

1761
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:45,040
Speaker 1: left wing school in that regard rich but left wing elites,

1762
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:50,599
Speaker 1: but Democrats or Democrat elites here. So the fifty percent

1763
01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:53,240
Speaker 1: donation thing, that was pretty amazing. And this one was interesting.

1764
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:56,360
Speaker 1: This is according to the Daily Mails right up of this,

1765
01:35:57,080 --> 01:36:03,000
Speaker 1: all AP classes advanced basement placement classes would be eliminated

1766
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:09,679
Speaker 1: by twenty twenty three if student scores weren't racially equal,

1767
01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:13,679
Speaker 1: so they would get rid of all AP scores unless

1768
01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:17,120
Speaker 1: minorities were scoring as high as their white and I

1769
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:21,400
Speaker 1: assume their Asian counterparts in these classes, because it gives

1770
01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:24,560
Speaker 1: an unfair advantage in the college admissions process that some

1771
01:36:24,760 --> 01:36:27,479
Speaker 1: kids get fives and fours on APS and some kids

1772
01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:30,280
Speaker 1: get twos and threes. It's out of five by the way,

1773
01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:34,479
Speaker 1: the Dalton School, Yeah, that's right, they want to get

1774
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 1: rid of AP class and that goes on and on.

1775
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:41,400
Speaker 1: Oh wait, here's more, overhaul the entire curriculum. This is

1776
01:36:41,479 --> 01:36:44,519
Speaker 1: from the actual list of demands and add required courses.

1777
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 1: That explicitly center black liberation and challenges to white supremacy.

1778
01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:56,240
Speaker 1: Reduce tuition for black students whose photographs appear in school

1779
01:36:56,360 --> 01:37:01,080
Speaker 1: promotional materials. Pay students of the school if a photo

1780
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:04,000
Speaker 1: of the students is used in a pamphlet about the

1781
01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:08,559
Speaker 1: school for black students, nothing is said about other students.

1782
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:13,960
Speaker 1: Mandatory community and diversity days to be held throughout the year.

1783
01:37:15,040 --> 01:37:19,280
Speaker 1: Required anti bias training to be conducted every year for

1784
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:28,440
Speaker 1: all staff and parent volunteers. Mandatory minority representation in elected

1785
01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 1: student leadership roles. That's right, they're going to have a

1786
01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:35,799
Speaker 1: quota within the student government that has to be filled

1787
01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:43,960
Speaker 1: of minority students. Mandatory diversity plot lines in school plays.

1788
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:52,919
Speaker 1: Hiring of multiple psychologists with specialization on the psychological issues

1789
01:37:53,120 --> 01:37:59,360
Speaker 1: affecting ethnic minority populations. And it just goes on. Oh,

1790
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:06,040
Speaker 1: and require public anti racism statements from all employees annually,

1791
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:13,360
Speaker 1: officially in writing, bend the knee to this lunacy. These

1792
01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:15,880
Speaker 1: are the requirements you want to work at the Daltins.

1793
01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:18,000
Speaker 1: You know who was the headmaster of the Dalton School.

1794
01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:20,360
Speaker 1: Fun fact, long time ago to give you a sense

1795
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:25,000
Speaker 1: of how much that place has changed, Bill Barr, the

1796
01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:28,599
Speaker 1: Attorney General of the United States was the headmaster a long,

1797
01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 1: long time ago at the Dalton School. One another fun

1798
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:37,240
Speaker 1: fact or interesting fact. You know who was while Bill

1799
01:38:37,320 --> 01:38:41,160
Speaker 1: Barr was the headmaster, which I think you can now

1800
01:38:41,200 --> 01:38:43,719
Speaker 1: it's like principal or they Calton. They can't say headmaster,

1801
01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:46,799
Speaker 1: but they used to be headmaster of the Dalton School.

1802
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:50,160
Speaker 1: You know who was one of his math teachers, one

1803
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:54,600
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. We were all told to believe beyond a

1804
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:56,760
Speaker 1: reasonab Without killed himself even though he was in a

1805
01:38:56,840 --> 01:39:01,559
Speaker 1: high security prison under surveillance constantly. Okay, so yeah, Dalton

1806
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:06,479
Speaker 1: has some famous faculty alumni, that's for sure. Now I

1807
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 1: understand a lot of you. You're like, well, my kid

1808
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:10,760
Speaker 1: goes to a grade school out in Bergen County, or

1809
01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:13,160
Speaker 1: my kid goes to a grade school out out in

1810
01:39:13,240 --> 01:39:15,280
Speaker 1: Suffolk or something. I get that. Do you feel like

1811
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:17,800
Speaker 1: does this really and you know when someone's going to

1812
01:39:17,880 --> 01:39:23,920
Speaker 1: fifty four thousand dollars a year factory of elitism and pomposity,

1813
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:25,880
Speaker 1: which is what Dalton really is. That's right, I'm taking

1814
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 1: some shots at it. Remember I went to read this

1815
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 1: scholarship school, Thank you very much. My dad had to

1816
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:35,479
Speaker 1: send me to school the first week of school with

1817
01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:41,440
Speaker 1: a twenty dollar check, twenty dollars to take for laboratory

1818
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:43,360
Speaker 1: fees and some kind of a student fee. That's a

1819
01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:46,720
Speaker 1: twenty bucks. Other than that private education four years. It's

1820
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 1: a great place. So I give read Us a lot

1821
01:39:48,479 --> 01:39:51,040
Speaker 1: of credit as the best twenty dollars anybody could spend.

1822
01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:55,519
Speaker 1: Dalton costs fifty four grands, so that's that's quite a

1823
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:58,000
Speaker 1: bit more than twenty bucks. And I think it was

1824
01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:00,679
Speaker 1: an inferior education, but we could argue about at another time.

1825
01:40:02,080 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 1: But when you see this happening in a school like that,

1826
01:40:04,400 --> 01:40:06,759
Speaker 1: understand that this is happening at a place where the parents,

1827
01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:12,840
Speaker 1: where you'd think there'd be there's enough financial and educational

1828
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:16,080
Speaker 1: power among the parents that they wouldn't be forced to

1829
01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:18,800
Speaker 1: deal with this level of lunacy, that the school would

1830
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:25,760
Speaker 1: want to protect this reputation in some way. And no, eventually, everyone, eventually,

1831
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:28,000
Speaker 1: everyone is supposed to bend the need of this stuff.

1832
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:29,920
Speaker 1: This will come to your child's school. If it has

1833
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:32,720
Speaker 1: not already, it probably is already there. You just may

1834
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:35,479
Speaker 1: not be aware of it. Your son or your daughter

1835
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:41,080
Speaker 1: is being indoctrinated in this anti racism stuff. Sometimes they'll

1836
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:44,519
Speaker 1: call it anti bias training. Same thing. This is left

1837
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:49,679
Speaker 1: wing cultural Marxism. This is left wing identity politics taught

1838
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:52,639
Speaker 1: as though it is the only way to see the world.

1839
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:55,600
Speaker 1: And if you doubt it, if you challenge it, you

1840
01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:57,639
Speaker 1: know what they hit you with. You know what your

1841
01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:02,679
Speaker 1: sin is? You fail to join as an anti racist?

1842
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:05,120
Speaker 1: And what does it mean about you if you're in,

1843
01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:08,599
Speaker 1: If you're not an anti racist, what what do you think?

1844
01:41:08,640 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 1: The conclusion is that they want everyone to draw right away, well,

1845
01:41:13,439 --> 01:41:17,679
Speaker 1: if you're not an anti racist, you must be a yes,

1846
01:41:18,920 --> 01:41:23,160
Speaker 1: a racist. Thanks for listening to the Bus Show podcasts.

1849
01:41:31,720 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 1: role call of twenty twenty went a little long in

1850
01:41:35,080 --> 01:41:36,760
Speaker 1: the last one, so it's gonna this is gonna be

1851
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:40,000
Speaker 1: a shorter role call than I usually would do. But

1852
01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:42,000
Speaker 1: don't worry. We've got so many role calls come to

1853
01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:43,560
Speaker 1: the new year. And also, one thing I will do,

1854
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:45,720
Speaker 1: I want to tell you this. I'll try, I'll catch

1855
01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:47,800
Speaker 1: up and I'll be looking through a lot of messages

1856
01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:52,439
Speaker 1: on Facebook, on TikTok, on Instagram. I'm not really going

1857
01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 1: to be posting, and I'm not gonna be doing shows

1858

Speaker 1: over the Christmas break, but I will be and the

1859
01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:00,880
Speaker 1: show will be reachable. So a message and you know,

1860
01:42:00,920 --> 01:42:02,840
Speaker 1: if you want a few to Lula photos, I'll put

1861
01:42:02,920 --> 01:42:04,960
Speaker 1: some to Lula photos up online to Lula of course

1862
01:42:05,040 --> 01:42:07,679
Speaker 1: the dog. And yeah, I mean so I'll be looking

1863
01:42:07,720 --> 01:42:09,800
Speaker 1: through messages, so if you send us roll calls, and

1864
01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:12,920
Speaker 1: we'll certainly pick through and grab some to start us

1865
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:16,519
Speaker 1: off January fourth, when we're back here. And like I said,

1866
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:18,280
Speaker 1: Michael Pelca is gonna be taken over from me, So

1867
01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:19,920
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a Buck sex and show. It's just

1868
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:25,240
Speaker 1: Michael Palca guest hosting, and he always does a great job.

1869
01:42:25,360 --> 01:42:27,920
Speaker 1: And Mike is an old friend of mine and just

1870
01:42:28,040 --> 01:42:30,320
Speaker 1: such a such a good dude, and I really think

1871
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 1: you should listen to him. dB writes in for roll call,

1872
01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 1: Hey Buck, I want to let you know that I'm

1873
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,519
Speaker 1: truly appalled by our politicians and the people in power.

1874
01:42:38,880 --> 01:42:40,960
Speaker 1: It's disturbing to me that these people feel they are

1875
01:42:41,120 --> 01:42:45,200
Speaker 1: so important that they put themselves in front of the

1876
01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:49,040
Speaker 1: people who they supposedly serve. When I watch AOC and

1877
01:42:49,160 --> 01:42:52,200
Speaker 1: her cronies that are not vital, laughing and having fun

1878
01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:54,400
Speaker 1: while getting their shots. It discuss me to my core.

1879
01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:57,559
Speaker 1: To put yourself before doctors, nurses, the sick and dying,

1880
01:42:57,920 --> 01:43:00,639
Speaker 1: the elderly, and those who really need the shot. Should

1881
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:03,040
Speaker 1: show all Americans who they really are and what they

1882
01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:06,439
Speaker 1: care about. Simply disgusting. I voiced my opinion. Oh yeah,

1883
01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:10,040
Speaker 1: the governor of California and Cuomo are garbage. I'm happy

1884
01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:12,679
Speaker 1: I live in Florida. Love the show. Peace Scott dB

1885
01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:16,360
Speaker 1: thanks AKA Scott, thanks so much man. Great of you

1886
01:43:16,479 --> 01:43:20,840
Speaker 1: to write in. I appreciate it, and I agree with

1887
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 1: you on the governors. And I also think it's absurd

1888
01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:27,040
Speaker 1: AOC didn't need that shot. That's just there's no justifications.

1889
01:43:27,160 --> 01:43:29,479
Speaker 1: I don't care what the government policies. It's dumb. TJ

1890
01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:31,879
Speaker 1: writes Buck. What do you think about Ted Cruise's proposal

1891
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 1: for Trump to send the Iran Nuclear Deal and the

1892
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:39,040
Speaker 1: Paris Accords to Congress so that the Senate can officially

1893
01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:42,280
Speaker 1: veto them as national treaties and thereby nullify any advances

1894
01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:43,840
Speaker 1: that Biden may try to make on them when he

1895
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:47,080
Speaker 1: gets into office. Also, what are some other powers or

1896
01:43:47,200 --> 01:43:50,320
Speaker 1: deals that Trump could give or send back to Congress

1897
01:43:50,360 --> 01:43:52,760
Speaker 1: to further limit the power of the executive branch before

1898
01:43:52,840 --> 01:43:55,599
Speaker 1: Biden takes office. What do you think. I think that's

1899
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:58,080
Speaker 1: a great idea. I love this. Send the treaties to

1900
01:43:58,160 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 1: the Senate to get to see the Senate vote on them,

1901
01:44:01,560 --> 01:44:03,919
Speaker 1: and then that becomes the record. I think that's brilliant.

1902
01:44:04,040 --> 01:44:05,880
Speaker 1: I think the people on Capitol Hill who came up

1903
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:09,439
Speaker 1: with this deserve a giant high five, and we should

1904
01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:13,360
Speaker 1: absolutely do it. It would be very very very very helpful.

1905
01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:17,280
Speaker 1: And friends, that's gonna be it for us here Man

1906
01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. We were in this together. Have a great

1907
01:44:19,960 --> 01:44:24,040
Speaker 1: holiday season, Mary, Christmas, Happy Honkka, Happy New Year, Shields High.
