0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>to just say that we've had a great year on

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.679
<v Speaker 1>the show. It has been a bad year for America

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and the world. I understand that, but I did want

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>to say, for a moment, thank you so much to

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>all of you who have helped us have our biggest

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>every year of growth, the most listening, the most podcast downloads,

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and we just keep doing better and better. And we're

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>essentially at a point now where this show gets placed

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>into a market and it does well, This show gets

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>picked up by a station, the numbers go up. It's

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>been doing this now for years, but now the momentum,

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>and the reality of that is undeniable, and that's because

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.920
<v Speaker 1>of all of you, and I do think that this

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>show deserves that listening. Producer Mark and me and the

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>whole Freedom Hut team, we do everything we can to

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 1>make it the most worthwhile experience possible. So, if you'll

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, it's a little bit of a little bit

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>of pre birthday, pre Christmas self indulgence here, but I

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.399
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to tell you all thank you so much

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.359
<v Speaker 1>because we have had a great year, and it is

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>because of all of you who listened to us and

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>who trusted us in what is a very challenging environment,

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.119
<v Speaker 1>a very difficult year, no question about it. I think

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>this show has been right. I think we've been more

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>often than not on the forefront of the battles for

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the truth, whether it's on the COVID lockdowns or on

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>what's what's happened with this election? On BLM and the

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>movement over the summer. You remember I was telling you

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>all these concession moves, all the negotiations, Republicans are talking about,

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>the pulling down of statues, that this was essentially a

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>spasm of the left. It was an outgrowth of rage

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and power grab on their part. It wasn't a good

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>faith effort to try and rehabilitate or renegotiate or anything

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>like that. They weren't seeking compromise, they weren't looking for converts.

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 1>They were hunting heretics. And that's just Those are just

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>a few of the areas where I think. I'm very

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>proud out of what we've done on the show this year.

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>And I don't do as much self promotion as I

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of other hosts do. Occasionally I'll hear

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>a clip somewhere or something and people talk about how

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>great they are. I am honored and humbled to have

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>what I think is the most discerning and most insightful

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>and loyal audience anyone could ever have doing what I do.

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>And I see this all the time from the messages

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.679
<v Speaker 1>you send. And I also appreciate that you stick with

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>me and with this show through very difficult times, which

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.720
<v Speaker 1>has certainly been the case this year. So any of

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>you who feel like sending me a happy birthday on

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.599
<v Speaker 1>December twenty eighth be much appreciated. But I will be

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>on the beach with snow Princess doing my thing. Now

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>let's jump into the latest Congress pasted a massive pork

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>laid in bill, trillions of dollars of spending nine hundred

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars for COVID relief, And there's a lot of

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>stuff that's getting conflated. So I want to make this clear. Yes,

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 1>it is true that the stuff that everyone's pointing out

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 1>that's contained in the spending bill is not technically part

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 1>of the COVID bailout portion of this. But it's also

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 1>true that they waited to do all of this together,

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 1>and that just makes it more difficult for us to

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.039
<v Speaker 1>hold anyone accountable. That just makes it more difficult for

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>us to see who was responsible for what in this

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>whole process, and it shows us that the government there's

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>still a real contempt that the ruling class and the

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 1>elites have for the American people, because at this moment

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 1>of real panic and real suffering and pain across the country,

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.919
<v Speaker 1>which is still going on, you had members of Congress,

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 1>powerful elected officials who took this as an opportunity to

0:05:54.440 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 1>engage in all kinds of buyoffs and payoffs or favored constituencies.

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 1>And they did this all together for a reason. That's

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>my point. I understand there's a difference between the nine

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>hundred billion for COVID relief specifically and the ten million

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:16.599
<v Speaker 1>dollars contained in the overall spending bill, which is the

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:20.159
<v Speaker 1>federal federal government outlays right the Omnibus, the overall spending

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:25.479
<v Speaker 1>bill that had ten million dollars for gender programs in Pakistan.

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I know that these aren't technically the same bill or

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the same effort within the legislative process, but understand this.

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>They did this together so that they were they were

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>like pulling off all the band aids at once, if

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>you get my drift. They did this so that it

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:46.679
<v Speaker 1>was we would all just be disgusted at the same time,

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:50.159
<v Speaker 1>and then we wouldn't really know who to blame. You know.

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>For Pelosi, this is a good thing because she delayed

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 1>necessary aid billions and billions of dollars of aid to

0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>people who aren't a really bad place right now. You know,

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I've just seen some of the early reports on drug

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 1>overdose deaths for this year, and it's looking like it's

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be well over eighty thousand. That's not an

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>official number yet, but that's what the early count is.

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>We're looking at the highest year ever of overdoses in

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>the United States. And remember, we had an overdose crisis

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>for the last ten years, and the number has been

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 1>going up and up and up. So we're at the

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>worst ever year for drug overdoses in the United States

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 1>in our history. Now over eighty thousand people dead. And

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.720
<v Speaker 1>you can't tell me that there's not a substantial percentage

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>of those who have died who are not doing what

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>they think as a kind of self medication of their

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 1>despair using opioids and other substances because of all the emotional, psychological,

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 1>and physical pain that they are feeling, and they're feeling

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>it in part because of the separation from other human beings,

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.840
<v Speaker 1>because of the loss of jobs, because of the destruction

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of businesses. Yes, I understand that this is a brutal

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>time for the country, and I understand that there's no

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>perfect answer here, but let's remember that there are some

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>who are much more responsible for extending the misery, for

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>making this even worse than others. Nancy Pelosi is very

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>high on that list, as are many other Democrats. And yes,

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of stuff that's contained in the bill

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>that overall, even if we weren't talking about COVID stimulus

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>funds or you know, COVID relief funds, whatever you want

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.319
<v Speaker 1>to call it. Even if that weren't an issue, Congress

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:37.960
<v Speaker 1>is passing bills now that regulate performance enhancing drugs for horses,

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.680
<v Speaker 1>and Congresses is passing bills to send money to a

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>whole array of countries. We're giving money to Sudan, We're

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 1>giving a large sum of money to Israel. We're giving

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 1>money to a lot of foreign countries. Why are we

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.560
<v Speaker 1>doing any foreign aid this year? That seems to be

0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 1>a very fair question. I mean any foreign aid, and

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to pick on any individual to a country.

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why we're doing any foreign eight at all.

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>The taxpayers are having their money sent overseas for what.

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you really think that we should be worried about

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:14.559
<v Speaker 1>democracy promotion in Pakistan? Right now? And then let's be

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 1>honest about this. How much democracy promotion you think you're

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 1>really getting in a country of one hundred and seventy

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 1>or so million people by spending ten million dollars, which

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>is what the outlay was. Yeah, that's that's a lot

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 1>of democracy promotion you're putting on a very small amount

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 1>of dollar bills, aren't you? Analyst? Just goes on and

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.719
<v Speaker 1>on for these things that people are seeing. And one

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 1>of my frustrations is that, yeah, everyone, everyone trashes Congress

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>when this happens, right, people say, oh my gosh, how

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:51.319
<v Speaker 1>could how could Congress be so inapt and so dumb?

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.439
<v Speaker 1>But they do this right before the Chris's break. They

0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.960
<v Speaker 1>know exactly what they're doing. They do it right before

0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 1>people go off on holiday. Who's even going to remember

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 1>this in the new year. Who's going to really spend

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:06.080
<v Speaker 1>any time at all thinking about this once we get

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>into January. No, it'll be we'll have other fights. So

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 1>they understand the game and they're they're playing it like pros.

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 1>We think that they're there to put the interest of

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>the American people first and make responsible decisions to help

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 1>as many of us as as they can while respecting

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>and defending the Constitution. That's really it. It's a pretty

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 1>straightforward idea. They think they're there to sign their name

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>to things that spend the public money in such a

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.960
<v Speaker 1>way that they will be able to get reelected. That's

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the primary goal of ninety five percent of the members

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>of Congress in both parties. This is bipartisan now, folks,

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>this is both teams and the government has closed down

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 1>much of the economy, not all of it, but a

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of the economy. People are facing expulsion from their homes.

0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 1>We have a wave of evictions that is coming, and

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 1>even if they delay it, eventually it's going to happen.

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>There's going to be a reset. People are going to

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 1>be kicked out of their houses in large numbers. The

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>government sends everyone, what, six hundred dollars that's what we've

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 1>gotten here in the direct payment if you fall under

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:20.560
<v Speaker 1>certain categories three hundred dollars of additional unemployment. In the meantime,

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.680
<v Speaker 1>they send let me see here and hat tip techno

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 1>fog for this on Twitter. One hundred and thirty five

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>million to Burma, eighty five million to Cambodia, one point

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>four billion for the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act, and one

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 1>hundred and thirty million dollars to Nepal. Yeah, that's right.

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I lose sleep at night worried about whether they're going

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.960
<v Speaker 1>to fund the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act. That one does

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.559
<v Speaker 1>get me. That gets me really concerned. I'm very worried

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>about that one and what would happen without that? And

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>we all get angry about it, and then we don't

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 1>really do anything about it. We were supposed to have

0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the swamp drained. And I think for a lot of us,

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>this comes. This is tough, and I know we're going

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:05.200
<v Speaker 1>to the holidays, and I just want to say that

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.440
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot that I'm optimistic about for this country

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 1>and the future. And honestly, as long as I get

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:11.679
<v Speaker 1>to do this with all of you, as long as

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I can share the truth from the perspective of somebody

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.959
<v Speaker 1>who really loves this country and just loves Americans, but

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.439
<v Speaker 1>I actually love the American people. I have a fondness

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>even for all the Libs. I have an innate and

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>deeply ingrained connection to my fellow Americans. I really feel that.

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.679
<v Speaker 1>And maybe that sounds a little corny, but we're going

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>to the holidays. I'm just going to tell you how

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I feel, and I think we'll get through all this.

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 1>But we have some battles ahead, and we have some

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>housekeeping to do, and we have to we have to

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.319
<v Speaker 1>get ready for a lot of policy that's going to

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 1>be shall we say, suboptimal, that's coming our way. But

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 1>we also have to be very honest about what has

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 1>gone on over the last four years, and maybe it

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 1>was an impossible mission to say that the swamp would

0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 1>be drained. But I'm here to tell you, and I

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.760
<v Speaker 1>think you already know this, but we should all understand

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>the mission continues. I think Trump understands that too. The

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:11.079
<v Speaker 1>mission continues. This swamp has absolutely not been drained. Politics

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 1>in DC has not changed forever. In fact, what we

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 1>see here is a giant empire strikes back moment from Congress.

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what this is, and that's why I want us

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 1>all to be very focused on what we need to

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 1>do in the future, focused on these Georgia runoffs for

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.680
<v Speaker 1>the Senate, and focused on the battles that lay ahead,

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 1>because we still have a lot to do, friends, and

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 1>we need to be happy. Warriors need to be energized

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and engaged. And yes, rests, relax, recuperate over this holiday

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>as much as you can, especially for those of you

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.360
<v Speaker 1>that get some time off. God bless and I know

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a stressful time because of COVID, But we

0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>fight because it's the right thing to do, and that's

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.680
<v Speaker 1>what we will continue to together. And that is the mission,

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 1>the mantra of this show. That's why I always say

0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>at the end shield's eye. I remind myself of that

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.719
<v Speaker 1>in life all the time. I can't tell all of

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you to hold your shield high if I won't do

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the same. It's not easy these days. It's not easy

0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>to stand on constitutional principle, not easy to feel like

0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 1>you're a person who the consensus, the digital elite, consensus

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 1>of social media, of Hollywood, of the academy, of law schools,

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>of the legal profession, largely of the courts, is standing

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>against you. But we continue in this battle because it's

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the right thing to do, Because ultimately it's for the

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 1>future of the greatest country the world has ever known, which,

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 1>even on its worst days, even as swampy as it is,

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>America makes the world a better place every day it exists.

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 1>And you and I both know that, and we're both

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 1>parts of that. So I don't forget that You're in

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast.

0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 1>It is not overblown to say that Donald Trump is

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>an authoritarian or it does not believe in democracy. It

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 1>goes beyond Trump. I mean, we have got to ask

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 1>ourselves why seventy rather than number seventy three million I

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>think voted for him, And we've got to reach out

0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 1>to those people. I think that there is and I

0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 1>think that to some degree a dean. I'm sure a

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of my Democratic colleagues do not agree with me,

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.880
<v Speaker 1>but this is a reflection of the Democratic Party because

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I think if you talk to many of those, you know, people,

0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 1>working class people who voted for Trump, they'll say, look,

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.280
<v Speaker 1>we know he's a lie, we know he's fully, but

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 1>at least you know he does this. He does that

0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 1>something the Democrats don't do. So we have got to

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.400
<v Speaker 1>figure out a way to bring our people together, black

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 1>and white and Latino, Native American, Asian American working class

0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.440
<v Speaker 1>people and say, you know what, you need a government

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:58.760
<v Speaker 1>that represents our interests, not one that divides us up

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 1>by the color of our skin, where we were born,

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 1>or a sexual orientation or whatever. Bertie Sanders, I miss him,

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 1>but you know, he was sort of mellow Bernie there.

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard him sort of not yelling. Notice when

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:13.800
<v Speaker 1>he gives a speech, it's up here, but when he's

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 1>on the fold, it's kind of down around here. They're

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 1>not going to do any outreach. I just had to

0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 1>play that for you, just to remind everyone of the

0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 1>delusions here at the Democrat Party, They're gonna be the

0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 1>outreach to people who voted for Trump. Not really, no, no, no,

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.440
<v Speaker 1>they didn't do any of it in the election process.

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Why would they do any election outreach going forward? I mean,

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>why would they do any trying to bring us over

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>to their side. What was the big idea I think

0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 1>about this. What was the big idea the Democrats had

0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:43.400
<v Speaker 1>that Biden stood for that really convinced people that this

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 1>was the way to go. What was the thing that

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.200
<v Speaker 1>they had that was supposed to make us all say,

0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you know what, They've got a really good idea here,

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 1>let's go with that. It was Trump is basically worse

0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 1>than Hitler, and Joe Biden is a guy who's a Democrat.

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:04.480
<v Speaker 1>That was the whole campaign. There was no idea this

0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.479
<v Speaker 1>was run on other than Joe Biden is in Trump

0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 1>and the media try to convince as much of the

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.760
<v Speaker 1>country as possible that, despite his ability to run the

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:17.400
<v Speaker 1>country pretty darn well for three years, the COVID pandemic

0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:20.080
<v Speaker 1>was entirely his fault, and so if you want COVID

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to stop, you have to vote against Trump. That was

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:26.040
<v Speaker 1>their whole play, and it was craven, but it has

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 1>gotten us to this place we are currently in, and

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:31.800
<v Speaker 1>so beyond beyond that, I would just say, you know,

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Bernie Sanders, I hope we hear more from Bernie Sanders

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 1>in the months and years ahead, just because I love

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 1>doing the voice Bertie Founders. What's to wish everybody a

0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.240
<v Speaker 1>happy Worker's Day? Not a holiday, because it's not about

0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.359
<v Speaker 1>being the holy It's about the workers. It's about getting

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.600
<v Speaker 1>you as much cash as you can from your neighbor.

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.919
<v Speaker 1>It's not a gift. It's redistribution of wealth. That's what

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Bernie wants to do. It wants to redistribute that wealth.

0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.280
<v Speaker 1>That's his version. That's his version of Christmas and Monaka

0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.400
<v Speaker 1>gifts for all of you, taking from your neighbor by

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the fourths of government and giving it to other people.

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's the Democrat version of happy holidays. But

0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.240
<v Speaker 1>there will be no outreach to Trump voters. There will

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 1>be intended purges of them though, and get ready for that.

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 1>They're going to want to make life as uncomfortable as

0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.800
<v Speaker 1>possible for former Trump administration officials. Certainly the media will do.

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.600
<v Speaker 1>It's all many corporations. So let's remember we have to

0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:33.199
<v Speaker 1>stand beside those who fight with us. You're in the

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Freedom Hut. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast.

0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:44.679
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexon is back. It is a goodbye cartisan Still,

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.720
<v Speaker 1>it does as different from bills that had been proposed

0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 1>on the Senate side by the Republican leader. It does

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:57.080
<v Speaker 1>things that his bill never did, and that is it

0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:01.439
<v Speaker 1>addresses the food needs of the American people, maybe fifteen

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 1>million children of food insecure in our country and adults

0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 1>as well. The only thing that can save us is

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:12.640
<v Speaker 1>to open the economy. If we give these tinpot dictators,

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 1>these governors, more money, they're less likely to open the economy.

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:20.359
<v Speaker 1>The ANSWER's not printing up and distributing free money, it's

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.479
<v Speaker 1>opening the economy. We're not even debating the real answer

0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 1>to this. We're like, just print up the money and

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.399
<v Speaker 1>shovel it out the door. The deficit be damned. There

0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:36.560
<v Speaker 1>you have. There, you have the dueling philosophies of the

0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:40.240
<v Speaker 1>left and well some on the right. Yeah, the dueling

0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:45.440
<v Speaker 1>philosophies from Nancy Pelosi and Senator Rand Paul Here. Pelosi

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:48.120
<v Speaker 1>says it's a good bill, which should terrify you, right.

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if Nancy Pelosi's happy, you should be very unhappy.

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.520
<v Speaker 1>That's a good rule of thumb about anything that the

0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Congress is doing. You should be unhappy and certainly worried

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 1>if Nancy Pelosi's tell you that some massive, multi trillion

0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 1>dollars spending bill meets all the needs that she feels

0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:07.879
<v Speaker 1>that are out there. And remember that this is a

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:09.879
<v Speaker 1>lot less than what she was demanding. What she was

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.760
<v Speaker 1>demanding was flatly ridiculous. I mean, she's accepting this now

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:17.119
<v Speaker 1>because yeah, this is too much money, it's too much spending.

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 1>We're twenty seven trillion dollars twenty d seven trillion dollars

0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:24.640
<v Speaker 1>in debt. But she wanted what was it, almost three

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:26.880
<v Speaker 1>trillion of new spending on top of all the trillions

0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of spending that's already happened. I mean, that was just crazytown, right, crazytown,

0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 1>But that's where Nancy is the mayor of Crazytown as

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 1>well as being a member of Congress. I don't know

0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:41.440
<v Speaker 1>if you knew that. Rand Paul's right, these bailouts this continued,

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not talking about for individuals that is deserved,

0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:47.679
<v Speaker 1>but what we're seeing for municipalities and what we're seeing

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:52.160
<v Speaker 1>for multinational corporations. I mean, the money that's getting slashed

0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:57.159
<v Speaker 1>around in this thing. We should have instead of all this,

0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:01.719
<v Speaker 1>we should have a system that puts a priority on

0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:05.399
<v Speaker 1>getting us reopened as quickly as possible. What we should

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:10.760
<v Speaker 1>have here are incentives in place for companies and for

0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:17.240
<v Speaker 1>states to take reasonable measures to reopen asap, because instead

0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 1>what you have here is America heading into this long

0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:26.399
<v Speaker 1>period of COVID winter, and there's no incentive for governors,

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:29.960
<v Speaker 1>for mayors who aren't already trying to hold the line

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 1>and stay open, there's no incentive for them to open

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.640
<v Speaker 1>back up and just take the risk, the political risk

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and otherwise of having a spike in cases when they reopen,

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:43.159
<v Speaker 1>even though as we see the massive spikes that have

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 1>occurred right now, and there are pieces coming out from

0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:49.840
<v Speaker 1>reputable places. I mean, the Federation of American Scientists, for example,

0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:53.200
<v Speaker 1>put out a study and it's from South Korea, and

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>its involves all it's pure viewed. It involves all the

0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:59.000
<v Speaker 1>contact tracing information from South Korea, which does a very

0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:01.719
<v Speaker 1>good job of this, and it showed that there are

0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:04.280
<v Speaker 1>people in an apartment building who live on different floors

0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:06.520
<v Speaker 1>who got infected and there and they're all in the

0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:10.760
<v Speaker 1>same air duct line. So the conclusion is that there

0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:13.640
<v Speaker 1>seems to be a possibility that COVID can freely circulate

0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:16.040
<v Speaker 1>in the air through air ducts in a building, So

0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:18.159
<v Speaker 1>you may not even be in the same apartment as someone,

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:21.119
<v Speaker 1>but you could still be infected depending on the airflow,

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 1>which then raised a lot of questions about that piece

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:27.160
<v Speaker 1>of cloth that says Biden Harris twenty twenty over your mouth,

0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and how much protection that really gives you. But we're

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:34.119
<v Speaker 1>not yet at the point where we've broken through the

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.200
<v Speaker 1>censorship on this, or we're not really allowed to speak

0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 1>openly and honestly. But I can't hear on the show.

0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:41.240
<v Speaker 1>But I have to be very careful on social media platforms.

0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd be very careful about what I'm talking about, just

0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:47.199
<v Speaker 1>sharing data and information. I mean, anyone who looks at

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:52.359
<v Speaker 1>graphs right now of mask mandates lockdowns and cases and

0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:57.199
<v Speaker 1>hospitalizations and states like California has to just result to

0:22:57.320 --> 0:23:01.440
<v Speaker 1>gibberish and fantasyland explanations for why this is a really

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:05.720
<v Speaker 1>effective policy. The only thing they can say is the unfalsifiable. Oh,

0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:07.840
<v Speaker 1>it would be so much worse if we didn't do this,

0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 1>And I would just ask you to take a look

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:11.879
<v Speaker 1>at a graphic of California. Take a look at it

0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and tell me if you think that it really could

0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:18.920
<v Speaker 1>be that much worse than it currently is in California.

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how much more spread would really is? The

0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:22.960
<v Speaker 1>whole stake can get infected in three days if it

0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:26.479
<v Speaker 1>weren't for mask gaming. Really it's absurd, but that's what

0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:29.159
<v Speaker 1>they're saying. And if you challenge them, they throw a

0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:31.600
<v Speaker 1>bunch of credentials that other people have in your face.

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:34.280
<v Speaker 1>And those people with those credentials have often been very,

0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:36.600
<v Speaker 1>very wrong, and they tell you shut up and you're

0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 1>a flat earth. End of story. That's where we are.

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:42.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you. So much of this is driven by ego,

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:45.240
<v Speaker 1>because there's so many people who believe they're really, really smart,

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 1>even though they don't know anything about science or biology

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:51.040
<v Speaker 1>or anything else. But they're really really smart. They watch CNN,

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:55.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, they read the New York Times, and they've

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 1>believed all this stuff all along. And no one wants

0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:00.400
<v Speaker 1>to be the person that realizes that they have been

0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 1>in a cult. No one wants to feel like they

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:06.520
<v Speaker 1>were able to be brainwashed or swindled or bamboozled. So

0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:11.639
<v Speaker 1>there's a tremendous amount of psychological resistance to accepting that

0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:14.240
<v Speaker 1>people were wrong in this, and we're just going to

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:17.000
<v Speaker 1>keep looking and keep sharing the information, keep sharing the data,

0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:19.760
<v Speaker 1>because their wrongness has costs for all the rest of us.

0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Their wrongness results in lockdowns that continue on, in mask

0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 1>policies that are just a constant psychological and emotional and

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:36.640
<v Speaker 1>physical agitation. It results in dividing us, making us think

0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:41.200
<v Speaker 1>that there's some politicized aspect to the COVID virus, which

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>is absurd. But they've made it very political. It never

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 1>should have been political, but it has become such. Remember

0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:49.119
<v Speaker 1>when they were telling us that don't make don't make

0:24:49.160 --> 0:24:52.560
<v Speaker 1>the mask political, just wear it, And now it's we

0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:55.679
<v Speaker 1>have cases because of those non mask wearing Trump voters. Right,

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 1>They just totally abandoned that whole. Oh, let's not make

0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:00.440
<v Speaker 1>it political, just do what I say. And then when

0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:02.199
<v Speaker 1>what they say doesn't work, what do they do? They

0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:04.960
<v Speaker 1>blame us for not doing what they say, even though

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:08.600
<v Speaker 1>by all the data, people are limiting their travel, limiting

0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 1>their contacts, and wearing masks all across the country. Ninety

0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:15.320
<v Speaker 1>percent compliance with mandates is the best estimate out there.

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:19.240
<v Speaker 1>But don't worry. Fouci's on TV. I got the vaccine.

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry. I'll be running your life. I'll be in

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:25.320
<v Speaker 1>charge you. Doctor Fouch will be in charge you for

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 1>another twenty years at least. I'm gonna be sitting around

0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:31.480
<v Speaker 1>here telling you know, you know, yes, I understand the

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 1>vaccine as a ninety nine percent survival rate, but you know,

0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:39.240
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine point ninety nine actually if you're onto sixty five.

0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:43.040
<v Speaker 1>But beyond that, I just you know, I think you

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:45.919
<v Speaker 1>should cancel all fun things in life and given a

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:50.560
<v Speaker 1>few more years, because they're still virus that could be mutations. Yeah,

0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:52.959
<v Speaker 1>that's right. You think you think they're gonna let this go.

0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:56.280
<v Speaker 1>You think they're gonna give us back our freedom. No,

0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:58.200
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have to take it back. You're gonna have

0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:00.320
<v Speaker 1>to hold people accountable. They're going to be lost. They're

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to be non compliance. That's the only way

0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:05.240
<v Speaker 1>this stops. They're gonna be fistfights. They're gonna be people

0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:07.840
<v Speaker 1>that lose their minds when you walk past them outside

0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:10.480
<v Speaker 1>without a mask on. Even though they're the lunatics, they're wrong.

0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:14.720
<v Speaker 1>People that look at you outside in fresh air walking

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:16.479
<v Speaker 1>past them and you don't have a mask, and they

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:20.080
<v Speaker 1>think you're putting them in jeopardy. They are wrong. They

0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:23.320
<v Speaker 1>are they are just afraid, and they are easily brainwashed.

0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:26.360
<v Speaker 1>But they are incorrect. You are not. Just remember that

0:26:26.920 --> 0:26:29.639
<v Speaker 1>because it's gonna get ugly. They're not gonna They're not

0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:32.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna go down. This tyranny will not go down without

0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:36.200
<v Speaker 1>a fight. It is among our biggest challenges in twenty

0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:39.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty and I'm sorry twenty twenty one. See I can't

0:26:39.640 --> 0:26:43.840
<v Speaker 1>even remember the year now and the COVID lockdown tyranny.

0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:48.800
<v Speaker 1>This is because if we don't, yeah, eventually, maybe in

0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:51.879
<v Speaker 1>twelve months, they'll start to really ease up, but no,

0:26:51.960 --> 0:26:54.600
<v Speaker 1>they won't. Next winter, to be after that, next spring,

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:57.679
<v Speaker 1>not this spring. Next spring, you'll start to feel like

0:26:57.720 --> 0:26:59.199
<v Speaker 1>you can actually live your life again. Do you want

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:03.399
<v Speaker 1>to sacrifice because of incompetent fools like Fauci and company?

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:04.679
<v Speaker 1>You want to make that I don't want to make

0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:07.280
<v Speaker 1>that sacrifice. I don't want to see what this country

0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:10.600
<v Speaker 1>is like economically. If we still pile trillions of dollars

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 1>of just debt future promises to pay on top of

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the debt we already have, that's that's just catastrophic in waiting.

0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:22.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what we know is happening right now. So we

0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:25.960
<v Speaker 1>need to understand that they're not going to give this up.

0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:28.239
<v Speaker 1>They're not going to let this go, and it's going

0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to be incoming upon all of us. It's really at

0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:34.119
<v Speaker 1>the state and local level because the federal level, the

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:36.639
<v Speaker 1>tyranny is going to have all kinds of backup. So

0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:38.120
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be at the state and local level

0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:40.840
<v Speaker 1>we have to push back. And look, I just hope

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:43.000
<v Speaker 1>they make enough room for everybody in Texas and Florida

0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:45.640
<v Speaker 1>who's flitting these stupid blue states that are destroying themselves.

0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for listening to the Bust and show posts. Remember

0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:53.119
<v Speaker 1>to subscribe on Apple podcasts at the iHeartRadio app or

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:57.159
<v Speaker 1>wherever you get your Podcastsously if we are on a

0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:01.280
<v Speaker 1>on a glide path because of climate change to our

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:05.520
<v Speaker 1>annihilation as a species. And there are people that benefit

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:07.880
<v Speaker 1>from the belief who don't really share it, but who

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:11.160
<v Speaker 1>will propagate it anyway. And there are people who are

0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 1>truly that brainwashed and delusional that they think that it

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:19.240
<v Speaker 1>is an existential threat. They actually think that they worry

0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:21.640
<v Speaker 1>about this. I mean, there are people that write articles

0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:23.960
<v Speaker 1>now about how they don't want to have children because

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to add to climate change. There are

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:29.760
<v Speaker 1>people that write articles about how they they lose sleep

0:28:29.800 --> 0:28:32.159
<v Speaker 1>at night because they're so worried about the rise of

0:28:32.200 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the seas from all the you know, they watch too

0:28:33.840 --> 0:28:37.080
<v Speaker 1>much CNN and BBC and this other crap by people

0:28:37.080 --> 0:28:40.000
<v Speaker 1>who just aren't able to think for themselves. You know,

0:28:40.040 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I often refer to people as as stupid in the media,

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'll say this, and part of that is out

0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:48.400
<v Speaker 1>of frustration the things they say are dumb. But I

0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:50.800
<v Speaker 1>know that it's not that they're actually well in some cases,

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there are people who are just uttered morons.

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:54.480
<v Speaker 1>There really are. There are people who have low IQs,

0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 1>who are not very bright, not very intelligent, and some

0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of whom have enormous media platforms. So I do want

0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:01.720
<v Speaker 1>to establish that is a real thing. But there are

0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:03.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of other people in the media who went

0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:07.240
<v Speaker 1>to fancy schools and probably got pretty decent SATs, you know,

0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:09.080
<v Speaker 1>not that many in journalism, but there are some that

0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:12.959
<v Speaker 1>fall into that category. But really what they have is

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:18.560
<v Speaker 1>cowardice more than stupidity. They always want to be considered smart,

0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:20.480
<v Speaker 1>They always want to be considered on the right side

0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of these issues. So they follow the herd, they stay

0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 1>within the crowd, and that is the worst possible mentality

0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 1>for someone who considers themself to be a truth teller.

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:32.600
<v Speaker 1>And journalists do think that about themselves. They aren't. It's

0:29:32.600 --> 0:29:35.320
<v Speaker 1>the worst possible mentality to have. It's why journalism in

0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:41.400
<v Speaker 1>this country has become such a preposterous joke. And it is.

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:44.440
<v Speaker 1>It is a joke, an unfunny one, but a joke nonetheless.

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:47.120
<v Speaker 1>But I want to be very clear, this is going

0:29:47.200 --> 0:29:51.440
<v Speaker 1>to be a major challenge for us going forward in

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the year twenty twenty one. The Democrats are going to

0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:58.840
<v Speaker 1>be pushing amnesty and an immigration something you're gonna be

0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:01.440
<v Speaker 1>hearing about a lot on this show, because if we

0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 1>ultimately lose the battle on immigration, we lose on everything.

0:30:04.720 --> 0:30:07.480
<v Speaker 1>We lose on everything because they're changing the voters. They're

0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:09.560
<v Speaker 1>going to have voters who are dependent on the Democrat

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Party's largess at the expense of taxpayers and citizens. And

0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 1>we're never going to win another if they have If

0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:18.040
<v Speaker 1>they have amnesty and mail in balloting, folks were done

0:30:18.280 --> 0:30:20.320
<v Speaker 1>where the Republican Party is not going to win another

0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:25.560
<v Speaker 1>national election for a very very long time. So we're

0:30:25.600 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 1>going to be focused in on immigration as an issue,

0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 1>but you're also going to see the continuation of this

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 1>transfer of the urgency and the demand for your obedience

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:41.600
<v Speaker 1>around COVID nineteen is going to transition to climate change.

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:46.360
<v Speaker 1>And I know for you and me, that's crazy, that's

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:51.520
<v Speaker 1>just crazy it is. But remember there are people who

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:55.520
<v Speaker 1>do believe it. Unfortunately, the Democrat masses, from everything in

0:30:55.520 --> 0:30:59.120
<v Speaker 1>their pop culture to their friend groups and social media

0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 1>always reinforce this absurd belief our climate change is not

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>an existential threat to humanity anymore so than an asteroid

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:10.120
<v Speaker 1>hitting the planet is an existential threat. And yes, it

0:31:10.160 --> 0:31:12.880
<v Speaker 1>could happen. Are you losing sleep about it? Are you

0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:15.720
<v Speaker 1>not having children because an asteroid may hit us in

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:18.400
<v Speaker 1>a thousand years? Who knows? Right? This is? This is

0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:22.720
<v Speaker 1>really a religion replacement. As I've always said, climate change

0:31:22.800 --> 0:31:25.360
<v Speaker 1>is a religious belief for people who think they are

0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:28.200
<v Speaker 1>too smart for religion. And then there are the other

0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:31.720
<v Speaker 1>people who will benefit enormously from this. All the solar

0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:34.320
<v Speaker 1>pane you know, the solar panel companies that need government

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:37.240
<v Speaker 1>subsidies and maybe even bailouts. You know, they're all the

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:42.920
<v Speaker 1>different alternative energy industries and carbon offsets and all this stuff,

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:46.320
<v Speaker 1>all these little pig snouts at the trough of the

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:51.360
<v Speaker 1>government's goodies that come from this alternative energy sector at

0:31:51.360 --> 0:31:54.280
<v Speaker 1>everything else that's going to be a huge component of

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:58.560
<v Speaker 1>this as well. So, my friends, we all need to

0:31:58.560 --> 0:32:01.520
<v Speaker 1>be very aware of this. I know that it seems

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 1>so crazy that they can't be real, they can't really

0:32:04.280 --> 0:32:06.800
<v Speaker 1>want to do this, But I am here to tell

0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 1>you they do want to do this, and they will

0:32:10.720 --> 0:32:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna have to fight them on it, and

0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna think that you're the one who's loony. Thanks

0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Harnsani in the mix from National Review dot com or

0:32:31.280 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 1>he is a senior writer. Mister David, final live show

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:37.200
<v Speaker 1>for me for the year. Thank you so much for

0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:40.080
<v Speaker 1>joining us and all your various appearances here. We appreciate it.

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 1>It is a pleasure each and every time. Buck, so

0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:45.800
<v Speaker 1>tell me this Faucci is out there. And for the

0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:49.480
<v Speaker 1>first time of my points that I make about Fauci,

0:32:49.720 --> 0:32:51.400
<v Speaker 1>because I think you have A very interesting take on

0:32:51.440 --> 0:32:54.960
<v Speaker 1>this is that whenever there's a reason, he's very quick

0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to say, well, even if there's like a one in

0:32:57.520 --> 0:33:00.880
<v Speaker 1>a thousand chance of that thing happening, led, let's take

0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the most cautious and I would say overcautious and even

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:08.840
<v Speaker 1>authoritarian approach possible. And then when there's good news, you know,

0:33:08.880 --> 0:33:11.360
<v Speaker 1>like for example about schools, I don't know, why isn't

0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Fauci on TV with a public service announcement saying open

0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:16.920
<v Speaker 1>the schools, schools should be There's no debate about this

0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:19.880
<v Speaker 1>anymore openly right, it's always the negative stuff that he's

0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:22.640
<v Speaker 1>very clear on, but the positive we don't get to

0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:25.040
<v Speaker 1>hear from him. Why is he telling people get rid

0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of outdoor outdoor masking? To this day completely baffles me.

0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 1>There are mandates for outdoor masks in some states. There

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:33.960
<v Speaker 1>is zero science to back this up. There's no study

0:33:33.960 --> 0:33:36.280
<v Speaker 1>that says it's a risk. It's crazy. Okay, he won't

0:33:36.320 --> 0:33:39.560
<v Speaker 1>say that. But finally he said, we've gone too far.

0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:42.360
<v Speaker 1>What did he say with David Well? And when people

0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:45.840
<v Speaker 1>brought up that we might need a temporary travel band

0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:49.000
<v Speaker 1>from Britain because they have some kind of super spread

0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:52.440
<v Speaker 1>or virus. I think it spread seventy percent faster or

0:33:52.440 --> 0:33:55.960
<v Speaker 1>something like that than the strain we have. He called

0:33:55.960 --> 0:33:58.960
<v Speaker 1>it draconian, and I am just taken aback by the

0:33:58.960 --> 0:34:00.880
<v Speaker 1>way that a lot of these are leads and expert

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:04.560
<v Speaker 1>class people talk about the world. You know, It's not

0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:07.320
<v Speaker 1>draconian to tell your you know, to tell families they

0:34:07.360 --> 0:34:09.719
<v Speaker 1>can visit each other on Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's not

0:34:09.760 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 1>yourconian to shut down to schools for a year. It's

0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:16.200
<v Speaker 1>not draconian to destroy entire industries like the restaurant industry

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:18.200
<v Speaker 1>in New York, even though I think studies show that

0:34:18.280 --> 0:34:21.400
<v Speaker 1>one percent they're one percent of the spread. It's not

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:25.120
<v Speaker 1>draconian to tell people they can't go to church, despite

0:34:25.600 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Constitution clearly clearly laying out that that

0:34:28.680 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 1>is a right of people to do. So, you know,

0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:32.880
<v Speaker 1>this is the problem when you talk about science now,

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:34.520
<v Speaker 1>of course, when most of the time when people talk

0:34:34.520 --> 0:34:37.239
<v Speaker 1>about science and just preening on about you know, things

0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:39.480
<v Speaker 1>that I have nothing to do with science. But the

0:34:39.520 --> 0:34:41.880
<v Speaker 1>thing is that it's not just about science. It's about

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:44.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of other things in society. And having the

0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:47.520
<v Speaker 1>science lead us all the time, it creates a situation

0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:52.359
<v Speaker 1>you just mentioned where we have public health officials who

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:54.319
<v Speaker 1>only care about the science. They don't care about the

0:34:54.360 --> 0:34:58.480
<v Speaker 1>social interaction, meaning you know, the emotional importance of that

0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing for society, or I don't care about

0:35:00.640 --> 0:35:02.759
<v Speaker 1>the rights of people, and then you have them saying

0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:06.640
<v Speaker 1>that's draconian to shut down airline flights. I don't even understand.

0:35:06.680 --> 0:35:10.399
<v Speaker 1>It's just arbitrary, and it's not doesn't just doesn't sound

0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:13.960
<v Speaker 1>very scientific to me. What do you think is going

0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:20.040
<v Speaker 1>to happen when with the incoming administration here, I can't

0:35:20.120 --> 0:35:22.640
<v Speaker 1>really decide in the early stages. I mean, I'm gonna

0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 1>have to see how this plays out. But but I

0:35:24.560 --> 0:35:26.080
<v Speaker 1>was someone who I think I've said this to you.

0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:29.760
<v Speaker 1>We've talked to this on earlier shows. I knew starting

0:35:29.760 --> 0:35:33.080
<v Speaker 1>around August. Oh no, they're not. The plan here is

0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:37.080
<v Speaker 1>not to have the great Biden reopening if he wins.

0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:40.040
<v Speaker 1>The plan is going to be to continue the lockdowns,

0:35:40.080 --> 0:35:44.200
<v Speaker 1>the control and maintain power in certain hands long after

0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:47.360
<v Speaker 1>any reasonable person could think that that was something that

0:35:47.360 --> 0:35:49.520
<v Speaker 1>should happen, And we are seeing now. I believe that

0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:53.200
<v Speaker 1>is at least the early stage plan. But do you

0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:55.080
<v Speaker 1>think that they're going to just make a lot of

0:35:55.120 --> 0:35:58.520
<v Speaker 1>noise about how they're doing things like the Biden administration

0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:01.920
<v Speaker 1>separately from the States and like Cuomo Newsom are doing

0:36:02.000 --> 0:36:05.080
<v Speaker 1>things so differently now when they're really not or do

0:36:05.120 --> 0:36:08.719
<v Speaker 1>you think they're actually gonna take concrete actions that are

0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:11.200
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be making a difference here in the course

0:36:11.200 --> 0:36:12.640
<v Speaker 1>of the pandemic? You know, you see what I mean

0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:15.759
<v Speaker 1>about the distinction. There's literally nothing they can do that

0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:17.839
<v Speaker 1>they couldn't do before, right, I mean, it's not like

0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:21.799
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump stopped them from doing anything. Yesterday, Nancy Pelosi was,

0:36:22.160 --> 0:36:25.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, talking about this ridiculous bill that they just passed,

0:36:25.680 --> 0:36:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and then she she claimed that, you know, Republicans are

0:36:29.120 --> 0:36:32.840
<v Speaker 1>purposely spreading it basically that they don't believe in science.

0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:35.200
<v Speaker 1>And then she jumps over to how, you know, suddenly

0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:38.840
<v Speaker 1>we have this vaccine out of nowhere, Right, so Republicans

0:36:38.840 --> 0:36:41.359
<v Speaker 1>are anti science but yet also pro vaccine but also

0:36:41.440 --> 0:36:44.480
<v Speaker 1>anti vaccine. It doesn't make any sense because in my view,

0:36:44.480 --> 0:36:48.360
<v Speaker 1>at least, there is no real way that they or

0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:50.560
<v Speaker 1>they have no real plan, and there is no real

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:54.160
<v Speaker 1>way to fight in a respiratory, you know, a respiratory

0:36:54.280 --> 0:36:57.040
<v Speaker 1>disease like this right, No one's doing better than us.

0:36:57.120 --> 0:36:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Germany's not doing better, England's not doing better. I mean,

0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:03.000
<v Speaker 1>we all do the same. So every little power they

0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:08.319
<v Speaker 1>take is a new a new standard that they've set

0:37:08.320 --> 0:37:10.279
<v Speaker 1>to take power in the future. And that's why it

0:37:10.360 --> 0:37:12.680
<v Speaker 1>upsets me so much when I talk about this stuff.

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I just I don't know if that answers the question,

0:37:15.120 --> 0:37:16.920
<v Speaker 1>but I just feel like every time they take power,

0:37:17.040 --> 0:37:20.040
<v Speaker 1>there's really not a huge amount of scientific basis for it,

0:37:20.080 --> 0:37:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and ignores the Constitution many of many times, and it's

0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:25.680
<v Speaker 1>just a new power that the arbitrarily take that they're

0:37:25.719 --> 0:37:28.000
<v Speaker 1>never going to give back, and that I think is

0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:29.600
<v Speaker 1>very dangerous for the country and that I think is

0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:31.520
<v Speaker 1>going to be Listen, it's a tragedy. We've lost a

0:37:31.560 --> 0:37:33.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of lives. I'm not trying to diminish that. But

0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:35.680
<v Speaker 1>you also have to think long term about the sort

0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:38.440
<v Speaker 1>of governance we're going to have moving forward. Biden will

0:37:38.480 --> 0:37:41.920
<v Speaker 1>completely never complain at once about anyone taking too much power,

0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I assume right in some states, so that might be

0:37:45.040 --> 0:37:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the only difference. Speaking of David Harsani, he's a senior

0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:50.720
<v Speaker 1>writer at National Review, And Yeah, David, my my expectation

0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:53.120
<v Speaker 1>is that what you're going to what you're going to

0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:56.440
<v Speaker 1>see is like, this is like one hundred days of masking.

0:37:56.840 --> 0:37:59.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I look around that everyone who's saying this

0:37:59.400 --> 0:38:01.560
<v Speaker 1>out loud. Though it's an intelligent point, I just want

0:38:01.560 --> 0:38:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to yell, we already have by Oh, there's no data

0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:07.200
<v Speaker 1>set that disagrees with this that I've seen anywhere at

0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:11.960
<v Speaker 1>least eighty more like nine mass compliance across the whole country.

0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:14.640
<v Speaker 1>So when states that require masking, people are wearing because

0:38:14.680 --> 0:38:16.720
<v Speaker 1>you can't go to the store, you can't go shop,

0:38:16.760 --> 0:38:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you can't do it right. So if they

0:38:18.440 --> 0:38:21.880
<v Speaker 1>require them, you're already wearing them. So their game change

0:38:21.920 --> 0:38:24.320
<v Speaker 1>maneuver is to essentially put out I mean, this is

0:38:24.320 --> 0:38:25.839
<v Speaker 1>really what I was leading to with the initial question,

0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and you clearly see it the same way. Is that

0:38:28.080 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 1>it's effectively you're going to be a pr campaign. The

0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Biden comes in and it's the same stuff that we see,

0:38:33.719 --> 0:38:36.920
<v Speaker 1>except there'll be no pushback on the tyrannical side. I

0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:40.520
<v Speaker 1>think the dj will be unwilling to be and I

0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:42.520
<v Speaker 1>have criticism with the DJF to this point. I think

0:38:42.520 --> 0:38:43.800
<v Speaker 1>they've just said, look, we don't want to get in

0:38:43.840 --> 0:38:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the pandemic fight, Like, we don't want

0:38:45.520 --> 0:38:47.759
<v Speaker 1>to be suing states when they're trying when they say

0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:50.799
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to save lives. But yeah, they'll make it

0:38:50.840 --> 0:38:54.759
<v Speaker 1>easier for the autocracy about COVID to continue. But I

0:38:54.760 --> 0:38:56.839
<v Speaker 1>don't think they're going to do really all that much

0:38:56.840 --> 0:38:59.560
<v Speaker 1>differently at the federal level. I mean, federal buildings are

0:38:59.560 --> 0:39:03.240
<v Speaker 1>going to fire masks federal and people are already wearing masks.

0:39:03.520 --> 0:39:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I have friends who work in these agencies. You're they're

0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:08.480
<v Speaker 1>wearing masks. It's already happening. Yeah, it's a it's a

0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:13.160
<v Speaker 1>complete fantasy, purposely, you know, it's a complete political fantasy

0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:15.759
<v Speaker 1>or part isn't fantasy to say that something that we're

0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:18.960
<v Speaker 1>not wearing masks when every as you mentioned, every study

0:39:19.000 --> 0:39:21.680
<v Speaker 1>shows that most people wear masks. You can't go into

0:39:21.680 --> 0:39:24.560
<v Speaker 1>stores where this spreads, where there are on masks. There

0:39:24.560 --> 0:39:26.839
<v Speaker 1>are on churches that are like most churches I know,

0:39:27.239 --> 0:39:30.080
<v Speaker 1>for instance, Catholic churches near here, they were before they

0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:32.279
<v Speaker 1>were they had to do anything. They were, they had

0:39:32.320 --> 0:39:35.319
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of you know, social distancing rules in place

0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:37.320
<v Speaker 1>and mask wearing in places. I mean, people are careful,

0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:40.080
<v Speaker 1>because most people are conscientious, even if they don't believe

0:39:40.080 --> 0:39:43.000
<v Speaker 1>it works, they do it to make their neighbors feel better.

0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:46.160
<v Speaker 1>This was just sort of an attack on red states,

0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:48.400
<v Speaker 1>which still, incidentally in most cases do just as well

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:50.879
<v Speaker 1>as any other states. Florida is just as good as California,

0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:53.960
<v Speaker 1>better than New York, um, you know, so they keep

0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:56.680
<v Speaker 1>changing their arguments. Yeah, I don't see them doing anything else.

0:39:56.680 --> 0:39:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I do worry, as you mentioned, and people sort of

0:39:59.200 --> 0:40:02.759
<v Speaker 1>like the snicker this because it sounds overly idealistic. But

0:40:03.360 --> 0:40:07.400
<v Speaker 1>there is no coronavirus exception in the Constitution, and you

0:40:07.440 --> 0:40:09.239
<v Speaker 1>have no right to tell people how to act on

0:40:09.280 --> 0:40:11.319
<v Speaker 1>a personal level in the way government has been doing.

0:40:11.360 --> 0:40:13.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't care that there's an emergency or not, and

0:40:13.960 --> 0:40:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I just don't see Governor's giving What is it I

0:40:16.560 --> 0:40:18.360
<v Speaker 1>have to ask you. I mean, no one has answered

0:40:18.400 --> 0:40:20.080
<v Speaker 1>this question for me. What is the use of the

0:40:20.120 --> 0:40:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Constitution if every time there's an emergency you get to

0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:24.600
<v Speaker 1>just ignore everything that's in it. No one needs it

0:40:24.600 --> 0:40:26.680
<v Speaker 1>when we're just doing what we're supposed to. No one

0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:29.319
<v Speaker 1>needs free speech when you're saying things everyone likes right,

0:40:29.440 --> 0:40:32.120
<v Speaker 1>No one needs protection of religious freedom, and no one's

0:40:32.160 --> 0:40:34.200
<v Speaker 1>bothering you. This is when we need it, and this

0:40:34.239 --> 0:40:37.680
<v Speaker 1>is when it's being ignored by Michigan, by New York,

0:40:37.800 --> 0:40:41.040
<v Speaker 1>by California, etc. I couldn't agree more. I keep saying,

0:40:41.080 --> 0:40:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the Constitution is not a suggestion box. You know, this

0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:45.640
<v Speaker 1>isn't like I just went for a meal at Chili's

0:40:45.800 --> 0:40:47.359
<v Speaker 1>and I want to tell them that they should get

0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:51.320
<v Speaker 1>me my chicken tenders faster. Right, the Constitution it's supposed

0:40:51.360 --> 0:40:55.960
<v Speaker 1>to withstand these moments of crisis, and I think we'd

0:40:56.000 --> 0:40:58.200
<v Speaker 1>have to all look at this and say it really hasn't.

0:40:58.239 --> 0:41:02.680
<v Speaker 1>And you know, yesterday when I was out numbered on Fox,

0:41:02.719 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I brought up, because we're doing this whole look China

0:41:05.120 --> 0:41:07.160
<v Speaker 1>as a major threat. I've been saying that for the

0:41:07.200 --> 0:41:09.320
<v Speaker 1>four years we've been focused on Russia, that China is

0:41:09.320 --> 0:41:12.240
<v Speaker 1>a much bigger problem long term for a host of reasons.

0:41:12.560 --> 0:41:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Russia is a manageable issue. It's a problem, but it's

0:41:15.160 --> 0:41:17.680
<v Speaker 1>a manageable issue. China may not be manageable over the

0:41:17.680 --> 0:41:19.960
<v Speaker 1>long term. So we got big issues there. But we're

0:41:20.000 --> 0:41:23.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about Chinese censorship and I kind of had this

0:41:23.160 --> 0:41:25.520
<v Speaker 1>moment and I said it on air and said, well, yeah,

0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, granted, they're not going to throw you in

0:41:27.239 --> 0:41:30.640
<v Speaker 1>prison for saying the wrong thing on Twitter. But we've

0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:33.400
<v Speaker 1>absolutely moved in this direction now. I mean there is

0:41:33.840 --> 0:41:38.400
<v Speaker 1>state sanctioned allowable speech about major policy and political issues

0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that you will be shut down for saying the wrong

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:44.200
<v Speaker 1>things about. It's true about elections, it's true about COVID.

0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what could be more important than allowing a

0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:52.120
<v Speaker 1>free and open debate about these lockdowns that our major institutions.

0:41:52.120 --> 0:41:54.239
<v Speaker 1>There's free speech as a legal principle, but there's also

0:41:54.320 --> 0:41:57.520
<v Speaker 1>free speech as a concept. And our major institutions that

0:41:57.560 --> 0:41:59.920
<v Speaker 1>are supposed to be defending free speech, the news media,

0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:04.479
<v Speaker 1>social media platforms, they've abandoned ship. Or actually it's worse

0:42:04.480 --> 0:42:06.400
<v Speaker 1>than that. I shouldn't even that. They'll strike that from

0:42:06.400 --> 0:42:09.320
<v Speaker 1>the record. They're part of the pirate ship. It's taking

0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:12.799
<v Speaker 1>over the ship of free speech. They're actually the offenders. Yeah,

0:42:12.800 --> 0:42:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't agree with everything you said more. The free

0:42:16.280 --> 0:42:18.520
<v Speaker 1>speech is a legal concept. We have the First Amendment,

0:42:18.560 --> 0:42:21.360
<v Speaker 1>but it's also a liberal concept that we're supposed to

0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:24.479
<v Speaker 1>believe in in our everyday lives. But we have most

0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:27.040
<v Speaker 1>of the major media, and we've talked about this many times,

0:42:27.239 --> 0:42:30.520
<v Speaker 1>pushing back against not pushing back against it, participating in

0:42:30.560 --> 0:42:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the suppression of speech that day don't like because for

0:42:33.200 --> 0:42:36.480
<v Speaker 1>whatever reasons, which is just an illiberal outlook in the world.

0:42:36.640 --> 0:42:38.640
<v Speaker 1>And if you read one of my favorite history books

0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:41.000
<v Speaker 1>as Modern Times by Paul Johnson, sort of just a

0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:45.799
<v Speaker 1>history of the twentieth century, and every single time you said,

0:42:45.840 --> 0:42:48.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying we're the Nazi Germany or anything like that,

0:42:48.400 --> 0:42:50.719
<v Speaker 1>but every single time you see people taking power they

0:42:50.719 --> 0:42:53.719
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have, it's on the heels of some emergency or

0:42:53.760 --> 0:42:59.240
<v Speaker 1>imagined emergency or overstated scare mongering, etc. Every single time.

0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:01.719
<v Speaker 1>And that's what happens here. This is how you corrode

0:43:01.920 --> 0:43:05.120
<v Speaker 1>individual liberty. Now, I don't know that people are that

0:43:05.440 --> 0:43:09.120
<v Speaker 1>idealistic about it anymore, frankly, unfortunately, because I see polls

0:43:09.120 --> 0:43:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and most people are fine with these things. That seems

0:43:10.960 --> 0:43:13.440
<v Speaker 1>to me and maybe I'm wrong, and that to me

0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:17.719
<v Speaker 1>is even a more dangerous and scary sort of portend

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:20.080
<v Speaker 1>of future events. I don't mean to be a bummer.

0:43:20.080 --> 0:43:22.719
<v Speaker 1>As we're speaking to David Harsani. He's a senior writer

0:43:22.760 --> 0:43:25.239
<v Speaker 1>at National Review dot com. Check out his latest there.

0:43:26.440 --> 0:43:28.279
<v Speaker 1>And whenever I start with I don't want to be

0:43:28.280 --> 0:43:30.240
<v Speaker 1>a bummer, it usually means I'm about to be a bummer.

0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:33.960
<v Speaker 1>But I also think that the full economic and just

0:43:34.120 --> 0:43:38.040
<v Speaker 1>societal devastation from the lockdowns. Now, granted, the body count

0:43:38.160 --> 0:43:41.239
<v Speaker 1>is very high from COVID, it's it's terrible, But the

0:43:43.080 --> 0:43:46.920
<v Speaker 1>way this has been presented to us all along was well,

0:43:47.000 --> 0:43:49.960
<v Speaker 1>that will be much less if we do all these

0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:53.680
<v Speaker 1>other things. And now we're seeing the other things. You mean, David,

0:43:53.719 --> 0:43:56.880
<v Speaker 1>over eighty thousand people's looking like over eighty five thousand.

0:43:56.880 --> 0:43:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I think, as of right now, died of drug overdoses

0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:01.960
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty highest that it has ever been by

0:44:02.200 --> 0:44:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll buy a lot um and and that's not even

0:44:05.160 --> 0:44:09.919
<v Speaker 1>including miscancer screenings and all these very real ramifications. I

0:44:09.960 --> 0:44:11.399
<v Speaker 1>think that this is going to be a little bit

0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:14.560
<v Speaker 1>like you know, when you sometimes if you have a

0:44:14.560 --> 0:44:16.920
<v Speaker 1>bad you know, if you got like a bayonet wound,

0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't know how bad it is until the bayonet

0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:22.319
<v Speaker 1>comes out. I think, until the lockdowns, you know, really end,

0:44:22.880 --> 0:44:25.080
<v Speaker 1>and then people realize, well, what happens to all the

0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:28.000
<v Speaker 1>delinquent mortgages, and what happens to what happened to all

0:44:28.000 --> 0:44:30.279
<v Speaker 1>these businesses that haven't made any money in nine months?

0:44:30.280 --> 0:44:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think then people realize, did what did

0:44:33.080 --> 0:44:36.359
<v Speaker 1>we get for this? That's that's also a great way

0:44:36.400 --> 0:44:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to you know, a great point. I mean, the negative

0:44:38.880 --> 0:44:41.719
<v Speaker 1>externalities of the lockdowns are going to be immense for

0:44:41.800 --> 0:44:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the economy, for our our our our lives, for kids lives,

0:44:45.880 --> 0:44:48.279
<v Speaker 1>or you know, in third grade I think is the

0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:50.359
<v Speaker 1>grade where you like, see if the kids, the kids

0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:52.959
<v Speaker 1>need helps and if you help in reading or whatever,

0:44:53.000 --> 0:44:54.879
<v Speaker 1>and if you don't intervene, it gets worse and worse

0:44:54.920 --> 0:44:56.799
<v Speaker 1>and things like that. I mean, how many children are

0:44:56.800 --> 0:44:59.520
<v Speaker 1>going to suffer because of this? How many how many

0:44:59.560 --> 0:45:02.719
<v Speaker 1>depressed people have killed themselves, et cetera, drug overdoses. It's

0:45:02.760 --> 0:45:05.640
<v Speaker 1>just terrible. And we're supposed to weigh these things. Now,

0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:09.720
<v Speaker 1>let me ask, I mean, does anyone really believe that

0:45:09.840 --> 0:45:11.920
<v Speaker 1>if we had not locked down things would have been

0:45:11.960 --> 0:45:14.680
<v Speaker 1>that much worse on the COVID front as far as

0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the deaths go, I don't know. I keep them, you know,

0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I show this and the President retweeted this graph, So

0:45:20.280 --> 0:45:22.720
<v Speaker 1>that got you know, that got me a lot this comment,

0:45:22.760 --> 0:45:24.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's gotten me a lot of unwanted attention on

0:45:25.000 --> 0:45:27.799
<v Speaker 1>line Davis. You and that can happen. I'm sorry, it's

0:45:27.840 --> 0:45:30.560
<v Speaker 1>not possible to be a reasonable person and look at

0:45:30.560 --> 0:45:33.640
<v Speaker 1>what's happening in California right now, in entirely blue state.

0:45:33.880 --> 0:45:38.600
<v Speaker 1>There's there's no Trump, no masking. You know, lobby in

0:45:38.640 --> 0:45:41.959
<v Speaker 1>California doesn't exist. An entirely blue state that was saying

0:45:41.960 --> 0:45:44.680
<v Speaker 1>that they had crushed the virus before. It is not

0:45:44.800 --> 0:45:47.640
<v Speaker 1>possible to look at their not just their cases, but

0:45:47.680 --> 0:45:52.439
<v Speaker 1>their hospitalizations and their overall COVID problem and say, yeah,

0:45:52.480 --> 0:45:54.839
<v Speaker 1>they had this figured out. They it would have been

0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:56.640
<v Speaker 1>much worse if they hadn't done all these things. I

0:45:56.680 --> 0:45:58.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think a reasonable person could say that, And they're

0:45:58.520 --> 0:46:01.160
<v Speaker 1>saying it all the time. Yeah I don't. I mean,

0:46:01.239 --> 0:46:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I listen, I don't pretend to have some great expertise

0:46:03.920 --> 0:46:06.160
<v Speaker 1>in this, but it just looking at the world, looking

0:46:06.160 --> 0:46:08.160
<v Speaker 1>at Sweden in other places. I'm not saying it couldn't

0:46:08.160 --> 0:46:12.640
<v Speaker 1>have been marginally worse, but I think weighing what the

0:46:12.120 --> 0:46:14.719
<v Speaker 1>what the cost of this will be for society in

0:46:14.760 --> 0:46:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the long run. Like you said, we can't keep passing

0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:19.399
<v Speaker 1>bills and giving people six hundred dollars checks as first

0:46:19.400 --> 0:46:21.279
<v Speaker 1>of all, it's not going to help them secondly in

0:46:21.320 --> 0:46:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the long run. Secondly, start thinking about what mortgages and

0:46:24.600 --> 0:46:27.359
<v Speaker 1>rents and all these things we've sort of suspended. This

0:46:27.440 --> 0:46:30.319
<v Speaker 1>is real property. People have given loans. This money just

0:46:30.360 --> 0:46:33.200
<v Speaker 1>doesn't disappear simply because people don't pay it back where

0:46:33.200 --> 0:46:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the loans don't. And rent as well, people own those

0:46:35.920 --> 0:46:37.960
<v Speaker 1>buildings they're going to get need to be paid is

0:46:37.960 --> 0:46:42.400
<v Speaker 1>already a backup, and that sort of cascades into other problems,

0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:44.440
<v Speaker 1>and as we've saw in two thousand and seven and

0:46:44.440 --> 0:46:45.960
<v Speaker 1>eight and things like that, when you have a real

0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:49.240
<v Speaker 1>estate market. So I'm just I don't predict anything terrible.

0:46:49.239 --> 0:46:50.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how these things are going to play out,

0:46:50.760 --> 0:46:52.279
<v Speaker 1>but it's hard for me to believe that there won't

0:46:52.320 --> 0:46:55.760
<v Speaker 1>be real cost to this societally as we move forward.

0:46:55.960 --> 0:46:59.320
<v Speaker 1>And then when you ask yourself, we just blindly followed,

0:46:59.520 --> 0:47:02.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, doctor Fauci or whoever else. And I'm not

0:47:02.200 --> 0:47:04.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to just blame him. This is a you know,

0:47:04.040 --> 0:47:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the whole expert class was saying these things, was it

0:47:07.600 --> 0:47:10.759
<v Speaker 1>worth it? And I suspect that it probably was not

0:47:10.880 --> 0:47:14.799
<v Speaker 1>worth it because we still have many, many deaths. I

0:47:14.840 --> 0:47:17.040
<v Speaker 1>think that it would have been far better to protect

0:47:17.719 --> 0:47:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and to be honest, we didn't exactly know how this

0:47:19.640 --> 0:47:21.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the beginning what was going on, but

0:47:21.960 --> 0:47:25.080
<v Speaker 1>to protect populations that needed it and allow other people

0:47:25.120 --> 0:47:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to move forward with their lives. And we didn't do that,

0:47:27.520 --> 0:47:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and now it's going to be And but here's the

0:47:29.120 --> 0:47:31.680
<v Speaker 1>one last thing. The thing was, they never switched it

0:47:31.760 --> 0:47:33.840
<v Speaker 1>up right once we knew that it was the older

0:47:33.880 --> 0:47:36.520
<v Speaker 1>folks who were the most potentially going to die from this,

0:47:36.560 --> 0:47:38.879
<v Speaker 1>they never switched up their ideas. It was always the same.

0:47:39.080 --> 0:47:41.400
<v Speaker 1>It was always lock it down, don't let people go

0:47:41.440 --> 0:47:43.839
<v Speaker 1>to school, don't work, let the teachers or unions run

0:47:43.880 --> 0:47:46.640
<v Speaker 1>the schools, etc. And that I think is where, not

0:47:46.719 --> 0:47:49.520
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning, but later on, where there's the real

0:47:50.000 --> 0:47:53.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, problem lay for us and where the real

0:47:54.120 --> 0:47:58.239
<v Speaker 1>mismanagement of our society lay. David Harsani everybody nashurview dot

0:47:58.239 --> 0:48:00.719
<v Speaker 1>com for his latest David always preciate you my friend.

0:48:00.760 --> 0:48:02.319
<v Speaker 1>Happy New Year to you and we'll talk to you

0:48:02.360 --> 0:48:06.920
<v Speaker 1>soon as we come back. Thank you too. You're in

0:48:06.960 --> 0:48:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast.

0:48:14.400 --> 0:48:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe four, but at least three. We offered another half

0:48:18.200 --> 0:48:23.480
<v Speaker 1>trillion dollars in relief. It's only to be blocked by

0:48:23.520 --> 0:48:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Democrats here in the Senate Speaker Pelosi was candid. She

0:48:28.120 --> 0:48:31.920
<v Speaker 1>basically said, well, this is about politics. This is we

0:48:31.960 --> 0:48:35.120
<v Speaker 1>don't want to President Trump to get credit for Congress

0:48:35.160 --> 0:48:38.160
<v Speaker 1>stepping up in a bipartisan way to provide relief to

0:48:38.160 --> 0:48:40.160
<v Speaker 1>the American people in the run up to the election.

0:48:40.520 --> 0:48:42.759
<v Speaker 1>That's what you have to know about this giant bill

0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:44.680
<v Speaker 1>and what happened and what led up to this point. There.

0:48:44.960 --> 0:48:47.959
<v Speaker 1>There's really nothing else that you have to know. There's

0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:51.360
<v Speaker 1>really nothing else about this in terms of the process.

0:48:51.360 --> 0:48:52.920
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot about the bill itself, but I mean

0:48:52.960 --> 0:48:57.000
<v Speaker 1>in terms of why was it so delayed. Democrats delayed it.

0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:00.279
<v Speaker 1>That's why we waited months for this, and why do

0:49:00.360 --> 0:49:03.240
<v Speaker 1>they do that because the misery of the American people

0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:05.600
<v Speaker 1>was to their political benefits. Senator John Cornen, there is

0:49:05.600 --> 0:49:09.080
<v Speaker 1>absolutely correct. I want you to remember that, not just

0:49:09.200 --> 0:49:13.040
<v Speaker 1>because it feels like there might be some accountability if

0:49:13.160 --> 0:49:17.080
<v Speaker 1>enough Americans going into the ballot box in not just

0:49:17.120 --> 0:49:19.879
<v Speaker 1>two years, but in a couple of weeks. This Georgia

0:49:20.040 --> 0:49:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Senate run off is essential. Okay, So let's not forget

0:49:25.080 --> 0:49:27.240
<v Speaker 1>that this when we talk about the political battles ahead.

0:49:27.239 --> 0:49:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying, oh, in a far off land and

0:49:29.480 --> 0:49:32.000
<v Speaker 1>a time, you know, long since forgotten. We're gonna we're

0:49:32.040 --> 0:49:36.040
<v Speaker 1>talking about as soon as we come back from the

0:49:36.160 --> 0:49:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Christmas season, in Christmas break, we're gonna be in this

0:49:39.040 --> 0:49:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Georgia runoff. So I want as many and we have

0:49:42.239 --> 0:49:44.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of team back in Georgia, a lot of

0:49:44.640 --> 0:49:47.040
<v Speaker 1>people that listen to this show down in Georgia. And

0:49:47.239 --> 0:49:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I want people to remember that the Democrat Party made

0:49:51.800 --> 0:49:56.719
<v Speaker 1>people suffer because it was in their interest politically to

0:49:56.800 --> 0:50:00.960
<v Speaker 1>do so, and people's anxiety their business is made it

0:50:01.000 --> 0:50:05.040
<v Speaker 1>worse for everyone. That is Pelosi's legacy in the twenty

0:50:05.120 --> 0:50:08.759
<v Speaker 1>twenty year of COVID trying to play games, holding the

0:50:08.800 --> 0:50:12.680
<v Speaker 1>American people hostage, denying them money they deserve and are

0:50:12.719 --> 0:50:19.080
<v Speaker 1>owed because she says, so, you're in the freedom hunt.

0:50:19.360 --> 0:50:26.880
<v Speaker 1>This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Unless you stop

0:50:26.960 --> 0:50:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the virus everywhere, you don't stop the virus anywhere. What's

0:50:32.560 --> 0:50:36.640
<v Speaker 1>frustrating to me is we've learned these lessons. We went

0:50:36.719 --> 0:50:40.160
<v Speaker 1>through this in the spring. We saw how COVID came

0:50:40.640 --> 0:50:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and the federal government had no idea. You know, everything

0:50:44.239 --> 0:50:49.359
<v Speaker 1>was retrospective. COVID was coming to New York back in February.

0:50:49.560 --> 0:50:54.800
<v Speaker 1>It came February March April, and the federal government didn't

0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:57.200
<v Speaker 1>even know it. They thought it was still in China.

0:50:57.560 --> 0:51:00.680
<v Speaker 1>They didn't figure it out until much later. Let's at

0:51:00.760 --> 0:51:04.759
<v Speaker 1>least learn And when you have well the EU countries

0:51:05.200 --> 0:51:11.560
<v Speaker 1>banning UK, you have the UK itself closing down, what

0:51:11.719 --> 0:51:15.640
<v Speaker 1>are the signal the U need. New York is one

0:51:15.640 --> 0:51:18.600
<v Speaker 1>of the lowest infection rates in the United States, with

0:51:18.760 --> 0:51:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the fourth lowest state in the nation. But I can't

0:51:23.120 --> 0:51:28.120
<v Speaker 1>protect New Yorkers unless we protect the entire country. Governor

0:51:28.239 --> 0:51:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Cuomo can't protect anyone. That That's what we've actually learned.

0:51:33.520 --> 0:51:36.880
<v Speaker 1>There's he's not protecting people. This is not true. The

0:51:37.000 --> 0:51:38.960
<v Speaker 1>things that he has done, the decisions that he has

0:51:38.960 --> 0:51:41.400
<v Speaker 1>made that people have opposed at different phases of this

0:51:42.200 --> 0:51:45.440
<v Speaker 1>have been wrong. And the biggest one, of course, was

0:51:45.520 --> 0:51:49.520
<v Speaker 1>sending COVID positive seniors back into nursing homes from the hospital,

0:51:50.400 --> 0:51:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and that had disastrous results. This notion, though, this slogan

0:51:55.160 --> 0:51:58.760
<v Speaker 1>that he trots out here about how unless you stop

0:51:58.840 --> 0:52:04.640
<v Speaker 1>COVID everywhere, you don't stop COVID anywhere. Yeah, that's that's

0:52:04.680 --> 0:52:07.160
<v Speaker 1>true in a sense, and that's why we don't We're

0:52:07.200 --> 0:52:10.960
<v Speaker 1>not stopping COVID. What world is he living in? It

0:52:11.080 --> 0:52:14.080
<v Speaker 1>is not stopping in America. That has not happened. No

0:52:14.120 --> 0:52:17.799
<v Speaker 1>one has stopped this thing. Some have dealt with the

0:52:17.880 --> 0:52:21.160
<v Speaker 1>spread better than others. But anyone who tells you that

0:52:21.200 --> 0:52:25.560
<v Speaker 1>we crushed the virus, or we flattened the curve, or

0:52:25.640 --> 0:52:31.040
<v Speaker 1>those are all delusional statements, but they're invested. They can't

0:52:31.360 --> 0:52:35.480
<v Speaker 1>admit now that what they've been saying didn't really matter

0:52:36.360 --> 0:52:39.759
<v Speaker 1>what they've done, that the additional pain they've piled on

0:52:39.800 --> 0:52:43.239
<v Speaker 1>top of this pandemic was unnecessary. Do you think you're

0:52:43.280 --> 0:52:45.200
<v Speaker 1>ever going to have politicians who will tell you that

0:52:45.880 --> 0:52:48.919
<v Speaker 1>they'll never admit that would how would you ever want

0:52:48.920 --> 0:52:51.799
<v Speaker 1>them in charge of anything ever? Again? If they had

0:52:51.840 --> 0:52:53.600
<v Speaker 1>to go around and tell people, you know what, we

0:52:53.719 --> 0:52:56.719
<v Speaker 1>destroyed entire industries who put millions, tens of millions of

0:52:56.719 --> 0:53:01.680
<v Speaker 1>people out of work, and we didn't need to do it.

0:53:01.680 --> 0:53:04.120
<v Speaker 1>It was a decision that we made because we were cowards,

0:53:04.160 --> 0:53:08.600
<v Speaker 1>We were ignorant, and we were fearful and exploitative because

0:53:08.600 --> 0:53:13.280
<v Speaker 1>they've used this. Look, let's remember, for Democrats, the single

0:53:13.800 --> 0:53:20.319
<v Speaker 1>most important political goal of twenty twenty, the single most

0:53:20.360 --> 0:53:25.480
<v Speaker 1>important one, was that they wanted to defeat Donald Trump.

0:53:26.040 --> 0:53:28.759
<v Speaker 1>So they look at everything they did this year, and

0:53:28.840 --> 0:53:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you have to keep this in mind. They look at

0:53:31.080 --> 0:53:33.719
<v Speaker 1>all the decisions that were made, all the shutdowns and

0:53:33.760 --> 0:53:37.200
<v Speaker 1>lockdowns and everything else, and no matter how painful it is,

0:53:37.360 --> 0:53:40.520
<v Speaker 1>no matter what the analysis shows about this after the fact,

0:53:40.680 --> 0:53:46.719
<v Speaker 1>in time, they will be happy with the outcome of

0:53:46.760 --> 0:53:52.319
<v Speaker 1>the lockdowns because the lockdowns created the environment for elevating

0:53:52.440 --> 0:53:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden. The lockdowns for anyone who doubts me or

0:53:55.840 --> 0:53:59.759
<v Speaker 1>disagrees with me, the lockdowns were the basis for the

0:54:00.040 --> 0:54:05.640
<v Speaker 1>ail in balloting changes that were the absolute, the sine

0:54:05.840 --> 0:54:10.640
<v Speaker 1>qua non, the absolute necessity for the Democrats here was

0:54:10.680 --> 0:54:13.880
<v Speaker 1>to get that change so that they could open the

0:54:13.920 --> 0:54:16.520
<v Speaker 1>doors to the fraud and the irregularities that we saw

0:54:16.520 --> 0:54:20.040
<v Speaker 1>in the election. That was that COVID lockdowns were part

0:54:20.160 --> 0:54:24.840
<v Speaker 1>of the excuse. So they leveraged COVID policy as a

0:54:24.840 --> 0:54:27.440
<v Speaker 1>weapon against Trump, and it was effective for them. We

0:54:27.520 --> 0:54:29.880
<v Speaker 1>know that it was effective. They go on air and

0:54:29.920 --> 0:54:34.280
<v Speaker 1>they blame the president for hundreds of thousands of dead

0:54:34.280 --> 0:54:37.480
<v Speaker 1>people in this country, as though every other country in

0:54:37.640 --> 0:54:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Western Europe, in South America. I mean, do we really

0:54:41.120 --> 0:54:44.640
<v Speaker 1>believe that some of the small island Asian nations for example,

0:54:44.760 --> 0:54:48.759
<v Speaker 1>or smaller island Asian nations, or a country like Australia.

0:54:48.960 --> 0:54:51.839
<v Speaker 1>We think that there's so much better at dealing with

0:54:51.880 --> 0:54:54.239
<v Speaker 1>this virus, or that it's if you're a country that

0:54:54.280 --> 0:54:57.120
<v Speaker 1>can cut off all contact with the outside world, and

0:54:57.160 --> 0:54:59.560
<v Speaker 1>you have a small enough population that you can monitor

0:54:59.600 --> 0:55:03.800
<v Speaker 1>it very very closely, you'll forestall this for a while.

0:55:04.200 --> 0:55:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Although Japan is now actually starting to have cases growing

0:55:07.400 --> 0:55:10.400
<v Speaker 1>in larger numbers too, Is that likely or is it

0:55:10.440 --> 0:55:14.600
<v Speaker 1>more likely that some populations, especially in Asia, have already

0:55:14.600 --> 0:55:19.279
<v Speaker 1>been exposed to enough COVID viruses because of their proximity

0:55:19.280 --> 0:55:21.839
<v Speaker 1>to China, which is where the flu strains come out

0:55:21.840 --> 0:55:24.480
<v Speaker 1>of China and year out. That's what ends up happening.

0:55:25.280 --> 0:55:29.319
<v Speaker 1>It has to do with the massive, massive livestock populations

0:55:29.320 --> 0:55:32.719
<v Speaker 1>and the proximity to human beings and the zoonotic transmission

0:55:32.719 --> 0:55:35.120
<v Speaker 1>that occurs out of Asia, and then that's how you

0:55:35.160 --> 0:55:38.840
<v Speaker 1>get seasonal flu year in and year out. Right, Avian

0:55:38.920 --> 0:55:43.680
<v Speaker 1>flu swine flu originate and originate in Asia, usually in China,

0:55:43.800 --> 0:55:45.320
<v Speaker 1>and then they make their way around the rest of

0:55:45.360 --> 0:55:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the world. Now I know the coronaviruses are different than

0:55:48.239 --> 0:55:51.040
<v Speaker 1>influenza viruses. I always think it's noteworthy too that we

0:55:51.040 --> 0:55:54.959
<v Speaker 1>call it influenza in reference to what the Italians called

0:55:54.960 --> 0:55:57.520
<v Speaker 1>it around the Renaissance period, because I thought it was

0:55:57.560 --> 0:55:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the influence of the stars on people that was called

0:56:00.000 --> 0:56:02.600
<v Speaker 1>causing them to be sick. So even our name for

0:56:02.719 --> 0:56:07.080
<v Speaker 1>it shows a real ignorance, a lack of understanding of

0:56:07.120 --> 0:56:10.640
<v Speaker 1>the intricacies and the realities of a disease like the flu.

0:56:10.760 --> 0:56:12.520
<v Speaker 1>We know some stuff about it, but there's a lot

0:56:12.600 --> 0:56:16.279
<v Speaker 1>we still don't know, and with COVID that's certainly still

0:56:16.280 --> 0:56:18.919
<v Speaker 1>the case. But do we think that some of these

0:56:18.960 --> 0:56:22.920
<v Speaker 1>countries in Asia, for example, are really similar to us

0:56:23.560 --> 0:56:26.200
<v Speaker 1>in the way that the virus could be tackled, in

0:56:26.239 --> 0:56:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the way that their populations have dealt with it, or

0:56:28.640 --> 0:56:33.080
<v Speaker 1>is it a better approximation for approximation for us to

0:56:33.239 --> 0:56:37.040
<v Speaker 1>have European countries to be compared with us. They have

0:56:37.600 --> 0:56:43.799
<v Speaker 1>more were geographically more similar. And when you look at that,

0:56:43.880 --> 0:56:48.000
<v Speaker 1>there's no way you can make an argument that Donald

0:56:48.000 --> 0:56:52.319
<v Speaker 1>Trump is the reason for all of this death. It's

0:56:52.360 --> 0:56:58.160
<v Speaker 1>it's simply absurd, it's obscene. But they continue to do it.

0:56:58.200 --> 0:57:02.480
<v Speaker 1>They continue to say things that no honest person could believe.

0:57:02.840 --> 0:57:08.440
<v Speaker 1>But They like this because it allows them to justify

0:57:08.600 --> 0:57:10.279
<v Speaker 1>everything that they've done, and that's why it's going to

0:57:10.320 --> 0:57:12.600
<v Speaker 1>be so hard to get them to think differently at

0:57:12.640 --> 0:57:15.800
<v Speaker 1>all about any of this. They They're going to continue

0:57:15.800 --> 0:57:17.880
<v Speaker 1>this narrative. Is what I'm telling you, that it's all

0:57:17.920 --> 0:57:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Trump's fault, because eventually we're going to look back at

0:57:20.560 --> 0:57:22.240
<v Speaker 1>these lockdowns. We're gonna look back at what has been

0:57:22.280 --> 0:57:26.040
<v Speaker 1>done here and realize that this was disast Thanks for

0:57:26.080 --> 0:57:29.840
<v Speaker 1>listening to The bus Esson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe

0:57:29.840 --> 0:57:33.320
<v Speaker 1>on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get

0:57:33.360 --> 0:57:40.280
<v Speaker 1>your podcasts. I believe, intuitively, it's already here. I believe

0:57:40.320 --> 0:57:44.280
<v Speaker 1>that because if it's been flying around the world, it

0:57:44.320 --> 0:57:49.000
<v Speaker 1>will be here. And I say that intuitively because I

0:57:49.120 --> 0:57:54.320
<v Speaker 1>have an educated intuition because I lived this and you

0:57:54.720 --> 0:58:00.240
<v Speaker 1>live this. Also. I am not a potal moron all

0:58:00.280 --> 0:58:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the time, and so I am aware of the fact

0:58:04.680 --> 0:58:07.280
<v Speaker 1>that by the time it is on the front page

0:58:07.320 --> 0:58:11.520
<v Speaker 1>of major in those papers, a virus that has spread very,

0:58:11.640 --> 0:58:14.800
<v Speaker 1>very rapidly, it's probably already here. Yeah, you don't say,

0:58:14.840 --> 0:58:20.760
<v Speaker 1>what a shock, Thanks Cuomo, your buffoon. This is why

0:58:20.880 --> 0:58:23.280
<v Speaker 1>this talk about about shutting down flights. I'm seeing people

0:58:23.280 --> 0:58:27.080
<v Speaker 1>saying this. We wanted to shut down flights from China

0:58:27.120 --> 0:58:29.400
<v Speaker 1>because we thought that we didn't realize where the virus

0:58:29.400 --> 0:58:31.840
<v Speaker 1>had already spread to. We also knew that there was

0:58:31.880 --> 0:58:35.440
<v Speaker 1>a tremendous hot zone in China, and we needed more

0:58:35.480 --> 0:58:37.000
<v Speaker 1>time to figure out what we were going to do.

0:58:37.360 --> 0:58:38.720
<v Speaker 1>But we've had a lot of time to figure out

0:58:38.720 --> 0:58:40.680
<v Speaker 1>what we're gonna do now, and this virus has been

0:58:40.720 --> 0:58:44.520
<v Speaker 1>in free circulation. There's there's no reason to believe that

0:58:44.600 --> 0:58:49.280
<v Speaker 1>this is limited to the UK. The more more transmissible

0:58:49.400 --> 0:58:52.560
<v Speaker 1>strain of this, they say it's seventy percent more infectious,

0:58:52.600 --> 0:58:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and they think maybe it's more infectious among children, But again, okay,

0:58:55.960 --> 0:58:59.720
<v Speaker 1>even if it is more infectious among children, it is

0:59:00.040 --> 0:59:02.919
<v Speaker 1>at you know, I don't like to say no risk

0:59:02.960 --> 0:59:05.080
<v Speaker 1>because then people will come at you and they'll say, well, look,

0:59:05.400 --> 0:59:07.600
<v Speaker 1>two out of ten million kids that got this have

0:59:07.760 --> 0:59:09.680
<v Speaker 1>died from COVID, which is about what the number is.

0:59:09.680 --> 0:59:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Your chances if you're if you're under eighteen of dying

0:59:12.960 --> 0:59:16.120
<v Speaker 1>from COVID nineteen, if you have a normal immune system,

0:59:16.240 --> 0:59:19.400
<v Speaker 1>are like one in a million. I mean they're actually

0:59:19.480 --> 0:59:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean that. I don't mean one in a

0:59:20.760 --> 0:59:23.240
<v Speaker 1>million as an exaggeration. I think it is about one

0:59:23.320 --> 0:59:27.000
<v Speaker 1>in a million. It's infinitesimal. But if I say no risk,

0:59:27.000 --> 0:59:28.920
<v Speaker 1>they'll say, oh, but people died. You're lying, right, So

0:59:28.960 --> 0:59:34.160
<v Speaker 1>it's very, very very entirely acceptable risk. And that's really

0:59:34.160 --> 0:59:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the phrase here. I want to hold in on entirely

0:59:37.040 --> 0:59:43.240
<v Speaker 1>acceptable risk. We have demagogues and authoritarians and a cowardly

0:59:43.320 --> 0:59:47.520
<v Speaker 1>media that are all working together right now to eliminate

0:59:48.160 --> 0:59:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the possibility of you being in charge of determining what

0:59:52.760 --> 0:59:56.720
<v Speaker 1>is acceptable risk when it comes to viruses and health

0:59:56.920 --> 1:00:00.480
<v Speaker 1>for you and your family. They're making all these decisions

1:00:00.520 --> 1:00:03.320
<v Speaker 1>for you because when we pushed back, they say, oh,

1:00:03.400 --> 1:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>but there's risk for other people, so it's not risk

1:00:05.480 --> 1:00:07.960
<v Speaker 1>for you. It's about spreading the virus. And this I

1:00:08.000 --> 1:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>want to say, yeah, but there's also my freedom, my liberty,

1:00:12.320 --> 1:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and the Constitution at stake here, and there's always been

1:00:15.880 --> 1:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>risk to other people from human interaction of aerosolized viruses.

1:00:19.880 --> 1:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm also going to say this now, and I want

1:00:22.320 --> 1:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>you to remember that I said it asymptomatic transmission has

1:00:26.800 --> 1:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>been exaggerated. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I'm not

1:00:31.400 --> 1:00:35.720
<v Speaker 1>saying it's not a concern. It has been exaggerated. Why

1:00:35.960 --> 1:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I know it's been exaggerated because if they had stronger numbers,

1:00:38.760 --> 1:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>we would see it all the time. But what they

1:00:41.120 --> 1:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>do is they have these largely anecdotal studies to push

1:00:44.240 --> 1:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>asymptomatic transmission because then it couldn't you can't be relied

1:00:49.080 --> 1:00:52.880
<v Speaker 1>on to avoid other people if you could feel totally

1:00:52.920 --> 1:00:55.080
<v Speaker 1>healthy but still spread this virus. Think about that, we're

1:00:55.080 --> 1:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>all hiding. We have all these problems because of a

1:00:56.920 --> 1:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>virus that we've been told almost fifty percent of the

1:01:00.520 --> 1:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>time forty percent asymptomatic spread. Was what they were saying

1:01:03.080 --> 1:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning of the summer. We were told spreads

1:01:06.160 --> 1:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>where people don't even know they have a virus. That is,

1:01:11.640 --> 1:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>for most people, that the degree of lethality and danger

1:01:15.480 --> 1:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>that this virus is for them, they don't even know

1:01:17.560 --> 1:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>they have it. I mean, if you have a bad

1:01:20.080 --> 1:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>case of strep throat, you're going to be in misery

1:01:21.720 --> 1:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>for a few days until your antibiotics kick in. You

1:01:24.240 --> 1:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>get this you don't even know you have it, is

1:01:26.200 --> 1:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>what they tell us. Now. I think that asymptomatic transmission

1:01:30.800 --> 1:01:36.120
<v Speaker 1>asympmoatic cases. I'm sure it's very widespread. Asymptomatic transmission doesn't

1:01:36.160 --> 1:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>make sense. Let me ask you this now, sorry, let

1:01:39.840 --> 1:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>me let me go back for a second. It's not

1:01:41.680 --> 1:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>that it doesn't exist asymptomatic transmission. It's that as a

1:01:45.400 --> 1:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>widespread problem and cause of this disease, that doesn't add up.

1:01:51.200 --> 1:01:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Why would this disease spread so easily among asymptomatic people.

1:01:57.360 --> 1:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>But other viruses out there, what the seasonal influenza, different viruses,

1:02:03.720 --> 1:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>does not spread so easily among asymptomatic people. It may

1:02:07.480 --> 1:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>be pre symptomatic people, and that's a different thing. Do

1:02:12.600 --> 1:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>you shed a lot of virus right before you show symptoms? Yes,

1:02:16.640 --> 1:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>that is true of other things, so it may be

1:02:19.160 --> 1:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>true of this one as well. But what we are

1:02:21.040 --> 1:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>told to believe is that this is an outlier in

1:02:23.880 --> 1:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>that you could be three days into an infection, feel

1:02:26.840 --> 1:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>totally fine, gopher runs outside, go lift some weights, feel

1:02:31.080 --> 1:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>totally fine, and people around you and you're just shooting

1:02:34.480 --> 1:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>virus at them all the time that can infect them.

1:02:38.240 --> 1:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>That's unique. We know this, that's unique compared to other diseases.

1:02:43.520 --> 1:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>And where is the really hard evidence of that? Where

1:02:46.920 --> 1:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>is the hard evidence of it? Well, that they won't

1:02:48.520 --> 1:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>provide you with hard evidence because they lack hard evidence,

1:02:53.280 --> 1:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>that's the truth. They have a lot of anecdotal data

1:02:55.960 --> 1:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>and do this or else. And remember, much of what

1:02:58.480 --> 1:03:01.080
<v Speaker 1>they've done here is also premised on we can't wait

1:03:01.600 --> 1:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>to see real data. So we're going to tell you

1:03:04.600 --> 1:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>do this based on the data because we can't wait,

1:03:08.480 --> 1:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and if we see how it actually would work in reality,

1:03:12.640 --> 1:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll already have suffered too many casualties. That's what they

1:03:15.760 --> 1:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>That's the way they forced us to do all these things.

1:03:17.760 --> 1:03:19.439
<v Speaker 1>You know, they kind of put a gun to wall

1:03:19.480 --> 1:03:22.800
<v Speaker 1>of our heads simultaneously and say obey us, because by

1:03:22.800 --> 1:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the time you figure out we're not correct with our

1:03:25.680 --> 1:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>COVID policies, it'll be too late. I'm sorry that did

1:03:30.480 --> 1:03:32.439
<v Speaker 1>you think we're not correct, and we are correct, it'll

1:03:32.480 --> 1:03:35.600
<v Speaker 1>be too late. That's their premise. This whole thing has

1:03:35.600 --> 1:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>gotten so out of control. And I've been saying this

1:03:37.840 --> 1:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>for a long time. You know, I was right here.

1:03:39.080 --> 1:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>We are lockdown two point zero big second wave. Why

1:03:43.200 --> 1:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>is it New York City being hit more by this?

1:03:45.720 --> 1:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's important for us to think this one through.

1:03:48.280 --> 1:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Why is it New York City being hit harder? We

1:03:50.120 --> 1:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>have super high population density. We have a lot of people,

1:03:55.160 --> 1:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>essential workers and others who are still I'm going into

1:03:57.200 --> 1:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>an office every day. I've had friends recently who have

1:03:59.480 --> 1:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>come down with COVID, so it's very much out there.

1:04:02.360 --> 1:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>But New York City has about half the positivity rate

1:04:05.760 --> 1:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>based on testing. And I know there's a lot of

1:04:07.360 --> 1:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>ways testing skews this debate because how much testing are

1:04:10.920 --> 1:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>you doing? How the people, let's say, oh, testing doesn't

1:04:13.320 --> 1:04:16.840
<v Speaker 1>create cases, are being intentionally obtuse. They're being morons, right,

1:04:16.880 --> 1:04:19.040
<v Speaker 1>because the point isn't that you create it's if you

1:04:19.080 --> 1:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>test a lot of people and there's a high there's

1:04:22.120 --> 1:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>a high false positive rate, and on top of that,

1:04:25.400 --> 1:04:27.520
<v Speaker 1>you're catching more of the COVID that's already out there

1:04:27.520 --> 1:04:29.840
<v Speaker 1>compared to previous testing when you were doing less and

1:04:29.880 --> 1:04:32.360
<v Speaker 1>therefore you weren't seeing as much COVID. There are real

1:04:32.440 --> 1:04:34.840
<v Speaker 1>reasons why the numbers are skewed. That's obvious that new

1:04:34.920 --> 1:04:37.840
<v Speaker 1>things through this. I would just note I would return

1:04:37.880 --> 1:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>to why does New York City have a lower positivity

1:04:41.400 --> 1:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>rate than the rest of New York State? And I

1:04:44.080 --> 1:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>think the answer is, well, I shouldn't say the answer

1:04:47.640 --> 1:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>is an explanation for it is in the prology testing

1:04:52.360 --> 1:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that we did back in May or June, we saw

1:04:56.120 --> 1:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>that about twenty percent of New York City had been infected.

1:04:59.760 --> 1:05:03.160
<v Speaker 1>That is the official number based on the extrapolation of

1:05:03.200 --> 1:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>a large number of blood tests looking for antibodies. Twenty

1:05:06.440 --> 1:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>percent of the whole city. Since then, we've obviously had

1:05:09.480 --> 1:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>a we've had far more cases, and we also did

1:05:13.040 --> 1:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>not catch I mean, the twenty percent was probably a

1:05:15.400 --> 1:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>low figure. It might have even been eighteen or nineteen

1:05:18.440 --> 1:05:22.080
<v Speaker 1>percent officially, but it was a low figure. And you've

1:05:22.120 --> 1:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>got to add at least another five or ten percent

1:05:24.400 --> 1:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>on top of that for what's happened since then, So

1:05:27.360 --> 1:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>you're getting close to a third of the city would

1:05:29.400 --> 1:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>already have had COVID and had anybodies. So while we're

1:05:32.280 --> 1:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>going around masking and distancing and doing this whole dance,

1:05:35.080 --> 1:05:37.280
<v Speaker 1>we've been doing the whole time, and a New York

1:05:37.280 --> 1:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>City where where California was over the summer, because everyone's

1:05:41.000 --> 1:05:42.720
<v Speaker 1>patting themselves in the back, look what a great job

1:05:42.800 --> 1:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>we're doing. Well, are we doing a great job or

1:05:45.480 --> 1:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>do we just have a large percentage of the population

1:05:48.040 --> 1:05:50.840
<v Speaker 1>that has effectively no longer at risk to this disease,

1:05:51.040 --> 1:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and did we already lose so many of the highest

1:05:54.000 --> 1:05:57.040
<v Speaker 1>risk individuals in the nursing homes that yes, right now

1:05:57.040 --> 1:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>we're going to look like we're better off. You see

1:05:59.400 --> 1:06:02.960
<v Speaker 1>what Quoba has done. Cuomo is like a general who

1:06:03.040 --> 1:06:05.840
<v Speaker 1>loses all of his soldiers in the first engagement of

1:06:05.880 --> 1:06:08.920
<v Speaker 1>a war, and then three months later at the command

1:06:08.960 --> 1:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>staff headquarters is saying, well, I have the lowest casualties

1:06:12.440 --> 1:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>this month. Well, yeah, it's because you lost everybody in

1:06:15.600 --> 1:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the first engagement. You lost everyone in the first battle.

1:06:18.960 --> 1:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>And there's there's some truth to that as a way

1:06:22.880 --> 1:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of understanding what's happening in New York as I'm sure

1:06:26.040 --> 1:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>it's true in other places as well. That really what

1:06:29.080 --> 1:06:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Cuomo has overseen here is a disastrous first response with

1:06:34.040 --> 1:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>casualties and spread of the virus so high that now

1:06:38.040 --> 1:06:40.760
<v Speaker 1>in the second wave, New York City still has problems

1:06:40.800 --> 1:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>to be People are not all immune to this. I

1:06:43.400 --> 1:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>get that, but in the second wave of this, what

1:06:46.800 --> 1:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>you have are people, a large number of people who

1:06:51.400 --> 1:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>can't get it, which slows the transmission dramatically. And of

1:06:54.480 --> 1:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>course they're gonna say it's masks in social distancing, but

1:06:57.640 --> 1:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>whose theory makes more sense, minor theirs. Whose theory makes

1:07:01.520 --> 1:07:04.280
<v Speaker 1>more than Look at California, look at Florida in New York,

1:07:04.320 --> 1:07:08.440
<v Speaker 1>whose theories make more sense? Who is actually supported by

1:07:08.480 --> 1:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the data? And who's part of this occult of the

1:07:11.880 --> 1:07:16.120
<v Speaker 1>magical mask? That's what a doctor Fauci. Your mask is magic.

1:07:16.560 --> 1:07:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think it was at the beginning of the year,

1:07:18.400 --> 1:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>But so much science has changed since then. Yeah, what

1:07:21.800 --> 1:07:25.560
<v Speaker 1>science has changed? Oh, the bureaucrats got a little taste

1:07:25.560 --> 1:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>of power, that's what changed. Are you worried about the

1:07:29.800 --> 1:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>stock market this year? Next year? What's going to happen?

1:07:32.280 --> 1:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>What about the value of the dollar, what about inflation?

1:07:35.280 --> 1:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Can you see the future? I don't think anybody can.

1:07:37.640 --> 1:07:41.200
<v Speaker 1>But you can prepare for an uncertain economic outlook and

1:07:41.320 --> 1:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>for all the debt dis country's piling up by diversifying

1:07:44.840 --> 1:07:48.000

1:08:43.760 --> 1:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>New York Post? New York's restaurant killing rules make no

1:08:47.120 --> 1:08:49.320
<v Speaker 1>sense and it keeps getting worse. Carol, Great to have

1:08:49.360 --> 1:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>you back on the show. Hi, how's it going good?

1:08:52.280 --> 1:08:56.679
<v Speaker 1>So the restaurant rules are crazy? Just just go over

1:08:56.960 --> 1:08:59.080
<v Speaker 1>what are some of the most absurd ones for everyone

1:08:59.120 --> 1:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>to know. Well, while while the cases are rising and

1:09:01.439 --> 1:09:04.439
<v Speaker 1>everyone's all in this panic, the authorities are taking the

1:09:04.520 --> 1:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>time to tell you things that are. It's the absurdity

1:09:07.240 --> 1:09:09.519
<v Speaker 1>just keeps mounting. Yeah, well, I just want to also

1:09:09.560 --> 1:09:12.080
<v Speaker 1>make it clear that the cases, while they are rising,

1:09:12.280 --> 1:09:15.160
<v Speaker 1>they're the second lowest in the state in New York City,

1:09:15.240 --> 1:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and so in New York City is the only area

1:09:17.880 --> 1:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of the state that has restaurant indoor dining closed. So

1:09:21.000 --> 1:09:23.479
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of interesting that the place with the second

1:09:23.479 --> 1:09:27.040
<v Speaker 1>lowest numbers, the second lowest hospitalization, is the only place

1:09:27.080 --> 1:09:30.719
<v Speaker 1>targeted for closure. So, right off the bat, that's pretty

1:09:30.800 --> 1:09:35.680
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous to me. They try to stop people from being

1:09:35.680 --> 1:09:39.160
<v Speaker 1>able to use the bathrooms when they're in the outdoor dining.

1:09:39.560 --> 1:09:41.600
<v Speaker 1>They're saying that people can't go into the restaurant to

1:09:41.640 --> 1:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>use the bathroom, and the restaurants pushed back on that

1:09:44.280 --> 1:09:47.799
<v Speaker 1>hard because it was obviously completely absurd, and they reverse

1:09:47.880 --> 1:09:51.080
<v Speaker 1>themselves on that on the same day in the same

1:09:51.520 --> 1:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>dick Cat they also put out that you had to

1:09:54.200 --> 1:09:56.200
<v Speaker 1>order if you were getting takeout from a restaurant, you

1:09:56.280 --> 1:09:59.560
<v Speaker 1>had to order it by phone or on the internet.

1:10:00.520 --> 1:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>And so a lot of these small businesses, like for example,

1:10:03.320 --> 1:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>the coffee shop on my corner, it's one person behind

1:10:07.280 --> 1:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the counter and or maybe two, you know, one person

1:10:10.280 --> 1:10:12.519
<v Speaker 1>making the coffee during the busy times and one person

1:10:12.600 --> 1:10:14.840
<v Speaker 1>taking the money. There's not a third person to go

1:10:14.880 --> 1:10:18.040
<v Speaker 1>out to the street and sorry, because you also had

1:10:18.040 --> 1:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to pick it up curbside. That was the other second

1:10:20.400 --> 1:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>part of that. There's not a third person to go

1:10:22.640 --> 1:10:24.960
<v Speaker 1>out in the street and pick it up curbside. There's

1:10:24.960 --> 1:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>not a third person to take orders on the phone

1:10:27.320 --> 1:10:31.040
<v Speaker 1>or via the internet. You can only have so many

1:10:31.080 --> 1:10:34.880
<v Speaker 1>people in the space. So yeah, there's all these insane things.

1:10:34.880 --> 1:10:37.120
<v Speaker 1>They keep changing the rules on these restaurant owners. I

1:10:37.479 --> 1:10:40.080
<v Speaker 1>spoke to so many restaurant owners. There's just so much

1:10:40.160 --> 1:10:43.120
<v Speaker 1>that they all these kinds of rules being thrown at

1:10:43.120 --> 1:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>them all the time, changed all the time, and it's

1:10:46.280 --> 1:10:49.840
<v Speaker 1>a really bad situation. At what point are people going

1:10:49.880 --> 1:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>to realize who aren't in the restaurant industry that if

1:10:53.240 --> 1:10:56.519
<v Speaker 1>this continues, there's no way And as you point out,

1:10:56.520 --> 1:10:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that's important. On the one hand, Cuomo is

1:10:58.840 --> 1:11:01.439
<v Speaker 1>telling us at the state level, New York's actually doing

1:11:01.439 --> 1:11:03.800
<v Speaker 1>pretty well as a state given what's going on in

1:11:03.880 --> 1:11:05.559
<v Speaker 1>much the rest of the country. When it comes to COVID,

1:11:05.840 --> 1:11:11.280
<v Speaker 1>New York City specifically is great, is doing well, and

1:11:11.800 --> 1:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>so they've they've shut indoor dining almost it seems like

1:11:14.280 --> 1:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>as a preventative measure, even though they only said one

1:11:17.360 --> 1:11:19.919
<v Speaker 1>point seven percent of cases come from New York City.

1:11:20.200 --> 1:11:22.920
<v Speaker 1>But that preventative measure, I mean, the mentality behind this

1:11:23.000 --> 1:11:25.280
<v Speaker 1>means as far as I can see, and I've been

1:11:25.280 --> 1:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>saying there's going to be another lockdown, which we're in

1:11:27.160 --> 1:11:31.160
<v Speaker 1>now for six months, yeah, that this will continue until

1:11:31.200 --> 1:11:34.479
<v Speaker 1>at least April or May. And what do they think

1:11:34.600 --> 1:11:37.599
<v Speaker 1>is going to be left? Yeah? Right exactly. Every time

1:11:37.640 --> 1:11:40.599
<v Speaker 1>that any of these people who support restaurant closures, like

1:11:40.840 --> 1:11:43.640
<v Speaker 1>talk about their favorite restaurant closing, I just have to

1:11:43.640 --> 1:11:45.880
<v Speaker 1>fight my tongue because I could just lose it on them,

1:11:45.880 --> 1:11:47.880
<v Speaker 1>like what do you think is closing these restaurants if

1:11:47.880 --> 1:11:50.240
<v Speaker 1>not the fact that they can't exist. And the other

1:11:50.240 --> 1:11:53.160
<v Speaker 1>thing is I went out to a restaurant last week

1:11:53.280 --> 1:11:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and it was thirty five degrees outside. We sat outside

1:11:57.720 --> 1:11:59.519
<v Speaker 1>and it was the heat lamp. And the first hour

1:11:59.720 --> 1:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of like, okay, you have a drink, you

1:12:01.840 --> 1:12:04.160
<v Speaker 1>take up her coat, you're under heat lap, You're doing okay.

1:12:04.360 --> 1:12:06.720
<v Speaker 1>The second hour, I could not feel my toes and

1:12:06.760 --> 1:12:09.200
<v Speaker 1>it was just I don't know how often I can

1:12:09.240 --> 1:12:11.479
<v Speaker 1>do that. I don't know how often anybody can do that.

1:12:11.720 --> 1:12:13.439
<v Speaker 1>But the thing is, the thing that I really thought

1:12:13.520 --> 1:12:15.599
<v Speaker 1>as I was sitting there in this restaurant that most

1:12:15.600 --> 1:12:18.479
<v Speaker 1>of the tables were full outside, is that if these

1:12:18.520 --> 1:12:21.400
<v Speaker 1>people didn't have this outdoor space to go to, they

1:12:21.400 --> 1:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a restaurant to go to, they would be

1:12:23.400 --> 1:12:26.400
<v Speaker 1>somewhere else. They'd be inside, inside their homes. It's not

1:12:26.439 --> 1:12:29.639
<v Speaker 1>like people are not going to gather. That's it. They're gathering.

1:12:29.720 --> 1:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>This lockdown thing is over. Nobody's following it anymore. It's

1:12:32.760 --> 1:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>it's over, and our politicians just have to face it.

1:12:36.000 --> 1:12:40.680
<v Speaker 1>It's done. Speaking to Carol Markowitz, opinion columnist at The

1:12:40.680 --> 1:12:42.519
<v Speaker 1>New York Post, she's got a piece up on New

1:12:42.600 --> 1:12:47.760
<v Speaker 1>York's restaurant killing rules, and I just would wonder, you know,

1:12:47.920 --> 1:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>how we are how are we doing right now with schools.

1:12:51.880 --> 1:12:53.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know that we'd be in a break anyway,

1:12:53.960 --> 1:12:58.479
<v Speaker 1>but give me an update on the status of the schools. Well,

1:12:58.800 --> 1:13:01.439
<v Speaker 1>you know it, it was a really splashy story when

1:13:01.479 --> 1:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>schools reopened in November, because actually in December, sorry early December,

1:13:07.120 --> 1:13:10.439
<v Speaker 1>because dolde Blasio said, Okay, now we're going to reopen

1:13:10.479 --> 1:13:12.960
<v Speaker 1>schools after closing them for really no reason at all,

1:13:13.840 --> 1:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to move to a full time model.

1:13:16.160 --> 1:13:18.759
<v Speaker 1>And I almost fell down on the floor. We're moving

1:13:18.800 --> 1:13:21.439
<v Speaker 1>to a full time school model. Wow, that's amazing, and

1:13:21.680 --> 1:13:25.640
<v Speaker 1>it was so believable because it's totally not happening. No,

1:13:26.040 --> 1:13:30.479
<v Speaker 1>very few schools are opening full time. The insanity and

1:13:30.840 --> 1:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>ineptitude behind all these decisions. When they Blasio made that announcement,

1:13:35.800 --> 1:13:38.400
<v Speaker 1>he got his headlines. But almost no school that I

1:13:38.439 --> 1:13:41.200
<v Speaker 1>know of is going full time because they just don't

1:13:41.200 --> 1:13:44.439
<v Speaker 1>have the space to keep social distancing and and do

1:13:44.520 --> 1:13:48.719
<v Speaker 1>full time. And my concern, honestly is already not even

1:13:48.760 --> 1:13:50.920
<v Speaker 1>for this year. I sort of think this year is

1:13:51.000 --> 1:13:53.519
<v Speaker 1>done and schools are not going to improve, and they're

1:13:53.560 --> 1:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>not going to open for any longer length of time

1:13:56.120 --> 1:13:59.080
<v Speaker 1>than they are right now. My concern is September. My

1:13:59.120 --> 1:14:03.040
<v Speaker 1>concern is and still the kids won't have a vaccine.

1:14:03.760 --> 1:14:06.599
<v Speaker 1>There's not even trials yet for kids under twelve, So

1:14:06.720 --> 1:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>what's going to happen if they still have the social distance?

1:14:09.280 --> 1:14:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean that elementary school kids are starting to be

1:14:11.280 --> 1:14:14.240
<v Speaker 1>going to school at most two or three days a week,

1:14:14.400 --> 1:14:17.439
<v Speaker 1>and it's really just not a path forward. This is

1:14:17.720 --> 1:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's stunning, and it's honestly pretty saddening

1:14:22.080 --> 1:14:24.759
<v Speaker 1>just to even think about this, But I think it's important.

1:14:24.800 --> 1:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I think everyone needs to know that. This is why

1:14:26.280 --> 1:14:30.680
<v Speaker 1>he keeps saying, you know, the closing restaurants. Now they

1:14:30.720 --> 1:14:32.280
<v Speaker 1>tell you it's for a couple, There's no way it's

1:14:32.280 --> 1:14:34.479
<v Speaker 1>only for a couple of weeks, because once once they've

1:14:34.479 --> 1:14:36.840
<v Speaker 1>got the closure, they don't want to be the ones.

1:14:37.120 --> 1:14:41.599
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's much much more politically dangerous in their minds,

1:14:41.600 --> 1:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>forget about any health danger, politically dangerous to reopen the

1:14:44.920 --> 1:14:46.840
<v Speaker 1>middle of winter and then there's a spike and then

1:14:46.880 --> 1:14:49.599
<v Speaker 1>it's on you. So once they get closures, once they

1:14:49.640 --> 1:14:53.320
<v Speaker 1>get these rules in place, the overwhelming momentum is going

1:14:53.400 --> 1:14:55.439
<v Speaker 1>to be you know, everything that they're doing to us

1:14:55.520 --> 1:14:57.760
<v Speaker 1>right now and everything they say they may still do

1:14:57.920 --> 1:15:01.160
<v Speaker 1>to us, they're going to carry that all the way

1:15:01.200 --> 1:15:04.080
<v Speaker 1>through the winter. And you know, and as I say, it,

1:15:04.200 --> 1:15:06.680
<v Speaker 1>really April or May as when we'll start to be told, oh,

1:15:06.720 --> 1:15:10.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe you can have some normalcyback, even with the vaccine

1:15:10.200 --> 1:15:14.200
<v Speaker 1>out there. Because remember the vaccine is going to take time.

1:15:14.240 --> 1:15:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Everyone knows that. But also they have created a near

1:15:18.400 --> 1:15:21.920
<v Speaker 1>zero risk tolerance in the public perception right for what

1:15:22.040 --> 1:15:24.680
<v Speaker 1>we can do, and the vaccine doesn't bring the risk

1:15:24.720 --> 1:15:26.479
<v Speaker 1>to zero. And you know, the other thing I've been

1:15:26.600 --> 1:15:29.120
<v Speaker 1>just talking about a lot lately is that our pathetic

1:15:29.320 --> 1:15:32.679
<v Speaker 1>New York City politicians are not standing up to Clomo. Again.

1:15:32.760 --> 1:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Our restaurants is the only restaurants closed, and in a

1:15:35.360 --> 1:15:37.719
<v Speaker 1>lot of cases, our schools are the only schools closed,

1:15:37.760 --> 1:15:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and most of the suburban areas schools are open full time.

1:15:40.920 --> 1:15:44.120
<v Speaker 1>It is all under you know, on Cuomo's watch, and

1:15:44.240 --> 1:15:48.760
<v Speaker 1>none of our pathetic, useless steet warming politicians who will

1:15:48.800 --> 1:15:50.639
<v Speaker 1>not stand up for our city are saying a word

1:15:50.680 --> 1:15:53.439
<v Speaker 1>about it. You know, the these councilmen going to these

1:15:53.479 --> 1:15:56.720
<v Speaker 1>protests for restaurants without not protesting to open the restaurants. No,

1:15:56.920 --> 1:16:00.600
<v Speaker 1>they're they're protesting to get a federal bill out for

1:16:00.600 --> 1:16:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the restaurants. Or another councilman in Brooklyn is really into

1:16:04.880 --> 1:16:08.040
<v Speaker 1>getting insurance companies to pay for these restaurants. They're basically

1:16:08.040 --> 1:16:10.800
<v Speaker 1>like someone else has to pay. And that's where they are.

1:16:10.920 --> 1:16:14.040
<v Speaker 1>They're not saying, let's open these restaurants. They're saying, so much,

1:16:14.160 --> 1:16:16.160
<v Speaker 1>give these people money. We should have a rent free

1:16:16.120 --> 1:16:18.439
<v Speaker 1>you that's the other great idea which I have rent

1:16:18.479 --> 1:16:21.840
<v Speaker 1>free and just passed the pain along to landlords because

1:16:22.120 --> 1:16:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you know we're gonna approtest for them in three months.

1:16:25.040 --> 1:16:27.960
<v Speaker 1>You think they're going to do about evictions, I'm not

1:16:28.080 --> 1:16:30.879
<v Speaker 1>sure what they can do about it right now. Commercial

1:16:30.920 --> 1:16:32.840
<v Speaker 1>evictions can still go on. I think they're trying to

1:16:32.880 --> 1:16:36.760
<v Speaker 1>pressure Governor Como would have stopped that, which is you know,

1:16:37.520 --> 1:16:40.559
<v Speaker 1>it's such a tough spot because obviously if the landmour

1:16:40.640 --> 1:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>is not getting paid, they could figure it out with themselves.

1:16:43.320 --> 1:16:46.400
<v Speaker 1>With the restaurant, they can the restaurant can maybe have

1:16:46.439 --> 1:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>a payment plan, or they can negotiate the rent down,

1:16:49.000 --> 1:16:51.120
<v Speaker 1>because it's not like somebody else is coming into the space.

1:16:51.200 --> 1:16:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Right now, we're speaking of Carol Mark Whit's got a

1:16:53.200 --> 1:16:55.400
<v Speaker 1>great column the New York Post on what's happening to

1:16:55.479 --> 1:16:58.679
<v Speaker 1>the restaurant and hospitality industry in New York City because

1:16:58.680 --> 1:17:03.040
<v Speaker 1>of these honestly, just in some cases absurd and frivolous

1:17:03.320 --> 1:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>rules and regulations that are being instituted. It's just it's

1:17:05.960 --> 1:17:10.160
<v Speaker 1>just nonsense. But but Carol, are you are you beginning

1:17:10.200 --> 1:17:14.559
<v Speaker 1>to hear a little more from your Brooklyn Night I'm

1:17:14.560 --> 1:17:17.479
<v Speaker 1>a Manhattanite. Are you hearing more from from Democrats or

1:17:17.840 --> 1:17:20.439
<v Speaker 1>seeing any willingness on their side to say Because for

1:17:20.479 --> 1:17:22.559
<v Speaker 1>a while, as long as this was about Trump, it

1:17:22.560 --> 1:17:26.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't matter. It didn't matter how much we suffered anything else.

1:17:26.200 --> 1:17:29.200
<v Speaker 1>It was you can't give into this. The anti lockdown

1:17:29.240 --> 1:17:32.639
<v Speaker 1>thing and Trump were intertwined. Now I look around the city,

1:17:32.680 --> 1:17:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, have you guys had enough yet? This really

1:17:34.479 --> 1:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>isn't about Trump? Do you see any change in mentality?

1:17:38.880 --> 1:17:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Or they really think in Saint Fauci we trust. The

1:17:43.200 --> 1:17:45.559
<v Speaker 1>only thing I've seen is shift on is school because

1:17:45.600 --> 1:17:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the New York Times, the Atlantic, they all sort of

1:17:47.600 --> 1:17:50.120
<v Speaker 1>made it okay to shift your position on schools. But

1:17:50.160 --> 1:17:53.200
<v Speaker 1>they still don't care about the science of whether people

1:17:53.200 --> 1:17:57.080
<v Speaker 1>are catching this at restaurants, which again they're not. And

1:17:57.240 --> 1:17:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it will take. I really don't.

1:17:59.200 --> 1:18:01.599
<v Speaker 1>I call these full the pajama class because they're sitting

1:18:01.600 --> 1:18:04.360
<v Speaker 1>at home and their pajamas, getting paid on their laptops, like,

1:18:04.360 --> 1:18:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and they don't care what's going on around them. And

1:18:07.439 --> 1:18:09.479
<v Speaker 1>it's really bad that they are unable to see their

1:18:09.479 --> 1:18:13.400
<v Speaker 1>neighbor's pain and the way that their livelihoods are being

1:18:13.400 --> 1:18:16.960
<v Speaker 1>destroyed for no reason. I think first to say, let's

1:18:17.000 --> 1:18:20.360
<v Speaker 1>close restaurants if there was evidence that restaurants were contributing

1:18:20.400 --> 1:18:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to like a high spread, But there just isn't. And again,

1:18:24.080 --> 1:18:26.560
<v Speaker 1>anybody going to a restaurant is probably hanging out with

1:18:26.560 --> 1:18:29.479
<v Speaker 1>the same people at home anyway, So shutting down indoor

1:18:29.520 --> 1:18:33.599
<v Speaker 1>dining is just moving it indoors to other locations. Carol Marco,

1:18:33.760 --> 1:18:35.800
<v Speaker 1>It's Carol and the New York Post. Great writing, Thanks

1:18:35.800 --> 1:18:37.760
<v Speaker 1>so much for joining you, Thank you so much for

1:18:37.800 --> 1:18:42.719
<v Speaker 1>having me. We mentioned Deblasio before. What is he really

1:18:43.240 --> 1:18:48.400
<v Speaker 1>focused on? What is Deblasio focusing in on right now?

1:18:48.400 --> 1:18:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Where does what does he think his energy in his

1:18:50.760 --> 1:18:54.439
<v Speaker 1>time should be spent. I like to say, very bluntly,

1:18:54.800 --> 1:18:57.920
<v Speaker 1>our mission is to redistribute wealth. A lot of people

1:18:57.960 --> 1:19:00.479
<v Speaker 1>bristle at that phrase. That is, in fact phrase we

1:19:00.520 --> 1:19:02.920
<v Speaker 1>need to use. We have been doing this work for

1:19:02.960 --> 1:19:08.839
<v Speaker 1>seven years to more equitably redistribute resources throughout our school system.

1:19:09.760 --> 1:19:16.160
<v Speaker 1>This guy, this buffoon, is giving Marxism lectures while the

1:19:16.200 --> 1:19:20.880
<v Speaker 1>city of New York is in desperate straits. That's really

1:19:20.880 --> 1:19:24.640
<v Speaker 1>what he's doing, redistribute the wealth. This guy thinks he

1:19:24.760 --> 1:19:27.360
<v Speaker 1>is on a mission from on high although I don't

1:19:27.360 --> 1:19:29.360
<v Speaker 1>know what higher power he believes in one or the other.

1:19:29.400 --> 1:19:32.040
<v Speaker 1>But this is a guy thinks that his purpose in

1:19:32.080 --> 1:19:36.600
<v Speaker 1>life isn't to make New York the crown jewel of

1:19:37.160 --> 1:19:40.200
<v Speaker 1>American cities and the greatest city in the world, which

1:19:40.240 --> 1:19:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it has been for a long time. I mean,

1:19:42.520 --> 1:19:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I love this place. Don't get me wrong. I keep

1:19:45.120 --> 1:19:47.760
<v Speaker 1>coming back. I've moved twice to DC and I said

1:19:47.800 --> 1:19:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I've had enough. I want to go back to New York.

1:19:49.560 --> 1:19:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I love New York City. My family is here. This

1:19:52.320 --> 1:19:54.559
<v Speaker 1>place is a part of me. It's been a huge

1:19:54.560 --> 1:19:57.800
<v Speaker 1>part of my life, and I've never felt before. I mean, yeah,

1:19:57.800 --> 1:19:59.960
<v Speaker 1>after nine eleven, we got hit badly, but we rally

1:20:00.240 --> 1:20:02.519
<v Speaker 1>and we knew once we got almost a year past

1:20:02.560 --> 1:20:04.880
<v Speaker 1>nine to eleven, and if you look at where we

1:20:04.920 --> 1:20:08.000
<v Speaker 1>are now, you know, almost a year past the pandemic

1:20:08.040 --> 1:20:09.439
<v Speaker 1>to where we would have been a year past nine

1:20:09.439 --> 1:20:11.519
<v Speaker 1>to eleven. You know, we rallied, and yet it was

1:20:11.560 --> 1:20:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a terrible loss, and we had to come together and

1:20:15.240 --> 1:20:19.120
<v Speaker 1>support you know, NYPD and FDNY after the losses that

1:20:19.240 --> 1:20:22.000
<v Speaker 1>they suffered, and friends and members and family members of

1:20:22.000 --> 1:20:24.760
<v Speaker 1>our community. But we knew, we rallied. We knew we

1:20:24.760 --> 1:20:27.680
<v Speaker 1>were coming back to as a city and as a country,

1:20:28.240 --> 1:20:32.120
<v Speaker 1>and there was that mentality of they're they're not going

1:20:32.120 --> 1:20:33.880
<v Speaker 1>to shut us down. They're not going to stop us

1:20:33.880 --> 1:20:37.640
<v Speaker 1>from being who we are with this, with this, with

1:20:37.760 --> 1:20:40.400
<v Speaker 1>this pandemic as it plays out here. I look around

1:20:40.400 --> 1:20:42.519
<v Speaker 1>and I say, there are a lot of people who

1:20:42.520 --> 1:20:46.960
<v Speaker 1>don't really see the restrictions and the destruction of the

1:20:47.000 --> 1:20:51.240
<v Speaker 1>economy and of social and cultural life, and they don't

1:20:51.280 --> 1:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>see that as an urgent problem. They liked the control

1:20:56.439 --> 1:21:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and they like the belief that they're saving lives by

1:21:00.080 --> 1:21:03.240
<v Speaker 1>being the busybodies that are up in your face telling

1:21:03.280 --> 1:21:06.439
<v Speaker 1>you wear a mask. They think that that's really the

1:21:06.479 --> 1:21:09.320
<v Speaker 1>great contribution that they're making to this. All you do

1:21:09.560 --> 1:21:11.120
<v Speaker 1>is wear a mask. You're a good person, not one

1:21:11.120 --> 1:21:12.920
<v Speaker 1>of those bad people. And look, I wear a mask.

1:21:13.160 --> 1:21:16.639
<v Speaker 1>I have to, and I'm very I wear fresh masks,

1:21:16.680 --> 1:21:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I washed my mask. I'm very judicious about it because

1:21:19.160 --> 1:21:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I have to be, because you have no choice here.

1:21:22.680 --> 1:21:24.800
<v Speaker 1>So don't don't think that I'm walking around. I went

1:21:24.840 --> 1:21:27.679
<v Speaker 1>through a period over the summer where it was just absurd,

1:21:27.720 --> 1:21:31.120
<v Speaker 1>and there's so few cases in New York City. Yeah,

1:21:31.120 --> 1:21:34.400
<v Speaker 1>and then everyone's complaining I was the unmasked guy walking

1:21:34.439 --> 1:21:37.639
<v Speaker 1>around my building. And what I wasn't sitting in rooms

1:21:37.640 --> 1:21:40.320
<v Speaker 1>with people for a long period of time, but just

1:21:40.439 --> 1:21:43.439
<v Speaker 1>walking past them for ten seconds. You know that. And

1:21:43.520 --> 1:21:45.320
<v Speaker 1>now here we are end up Blasio to bring this

1:21:45.400 --> 1:21:48.120
<v Speaker 1>all full circle. The Blasio is out there talking about Marxism.

1:21:48.240 --> 1:21:51.320
<v Speaker 1>He used the destruction of New York City as we

1:21:51.439 --> 1:21:54.320
<v Speaker 1>know it as an opportunity. You have to remember that

1:21:55.240 --> 1:22:01.080
<v Speaker 1>we have the enormous vacancy issue on all these hotels.

1:22:01.080 --> 1:22:02.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, who wants to stay in a New York

1:22:02.520 --> 1:22:05.280
<v Speaker 1>City hotel right now? You want to go stay one

1:22:05.280 --> 1:22:07.920
<v Speaker 1>of those big hotels near Times Square? You know, I

1:22:07.960 --> 1:22:09.760
<v Speaker 1>don't think a lot of people are excited about that.

1:22:11.080 --> 1:22:14.000
<v Speaker 1>And and never mind all the commercial real estate that

1:22:14.640 --> 1:22:17.800
<v Speaker 1>is not getting us right now, and they're saying they

1:22:17.800 --> 1:22:20.200
<v Speaker 1>want to switch it to residential. In some cases they're

1:22:20.240 --> 1:22:22.439
<v Speaker 1>looking at changing the zoning to do that. You know

1:22:22.479 --> 1:22:25.240
<v Speaker 1>what Deblasio is gonna want to do. He's gonna want

1:22:25.240 --> 1:22:27.880
<v Speaker 1>to create, He's gonna want to take, He's gonna jack

1:22:27.920 --> 1:22:32.599
<v Speaker 1>taxes up on people who are you know, earners, and

1:22:32.720 --> 1:22:34.720
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna try to take and take as much money

1:22:34.720 --> 1:22:38.200
<v Speaker 1>as he can to subsidize other people's housing. And I

1:22:38.240 --> 1:22:40.519
<v Speaker 1>think his real plan down if he can, if he's

1:22:40.520 --> 1:22:42.559
<v Speaker 1>got time to do it before he has to leave office,

1:22:43.320 --> 1:22:47.439
<v Speaker 1>will be to set up as much subsidized housing in

1:22:47.479 --> 1:22:50.200
<v Speaker 1>some of these office spaces as he can, whether it's

1:22:50.200 --> 1:22:53.640
<v Speaker 1>middle income housing or however. The New York then nyc

1:22:54.720 --> 1:22:58.599
<v Speaker 1>HA is going to do it, but they'll set up something,

1:22:58.640 --> 1:23:01.599
<v Speaker 1>They'll set up some subside housing. I mean, Deblasio really

1:23:01.640 --> 1:23:05.920
<v Speaker 1>thinks that a poorer, more dangerous New York City is

1:23:05.960 --> 1:23:10.519
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to yes, you guessed it, redistribute the wealth,

1:23:11.360 --> 1:23:14.040
<v Speaker 1>as if that's going to make this place better, as

1:23:14.080 --> 1:23:16.559
<v Speaker 1>if that's going to improve things like that's why people

1:23:16.560 --> 1:23:19.519
<v Speaker 1>show up in New York, to have some idiot Marxist

1:23:19.560 --> 1:23:22.840
<v Speaker 1>in charge telling them what they can and can't do.

1:23:23.520 --> 1:23:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I have to tell you there's a school on the

1:23:26.680 --> 1:23:29.639
<v Speaker 1>Upper east Side, and it was I knew the school

1:23:29.640 --> 1:23:31.720
<v Speaker 1>a little bit when I was growing up. I knew

1:23:31.760 --> 1:23:33.639
<v Speaker 1>people went there. I went to Regis, which was also

1:23:33.680 --> 1:23:36.040
<v Speaker 1>in the Upper east Side. Regis was the Catholic Scholarship

1:23:36.080 --> 1:23:39.240
<v Speaker 1>school on eighty fifth Street. This school was just a

1:23:39.280 --> 1:23:41.679
<v Speaker 1>few blocks away in eighty nine Street, the Dalton School,

1:23:42.200 --> 1:23:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I've got to tell you this little break from on

1:23:44.000 --> 1:23:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the COVID talk. I've got to tell you about the

1:23:45.840 --> 1:23:49.360
<v Speaker 1>list of They're saying it was a starting port for negotiations,

1:23:49.400 --> 1:23:53.160
<v Speaker 1>but it's really a list of demands for faculty members

1:23:53.240 --> 1:23:56.640
<v Speaker 1>there of the school and what it has to do.

1:23:57.240 --> 1:24:03.160
<v Speaker 1>This the same kind of woke and social justice focus

1:24:03.400 --> 1:24:06.120
<v Speaker 1>that guides the minds of someone like a build a

1:24:06.160 --> 1:24:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Blasio on display at a school that's a fifty I

1:24:09.920 --> 1:24:13.920
<v Speaker 1>think it's fifty four thousand dollars a year tuition for

1:24:14.040 --> 1:24:16.680
<v Speaker 1>the first grade. We're not even talking about I mean

1:24:16.720 --> 1:24:19.360
<v Speaker 1>there's a high school too, But you got you got

1:24:19.439 --> 1:24:22.040
<v Speaker 1>eight year olds, nine year olds. Parents are writing over

1:24:22.160 --> 1:24:25.600
<v Speaker 1>fifty thousand dollars checks so they can learn their ABC's.

1:24:27.960 --> 1:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex

1:24:30.920 --> 1:24:38.439
<v Speaker 1>and Show podcast. This one is for the parents out

1:24:38.479 --> 1:24:40.880
<v Speaker 1>there and for a wall for anyone, for the kids

1:24:40.920 --> 1:24:44.840
<v Speaker 1>that are listening. Probably two That and my mom tells

1:24:44.880 --> 1:24:47.719
<v Speaker 1>a story around the family dinner table when we celebrate

1:24:47.840 --> 1:24:51.520
<v Speaker 1>my birthday every year. That I am now a syndicated

1:24:51.640 --> 1:24:55.439
<v Speaker 1>radio host on over one hundred and eighty stations, and

1:24:55.680 --> 1:24:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I've filled in for the biggest radio shows in the

1:24:58.000 --> 1:25:01.640
<v Speaker 1>country with success in turn of the listenership and the

1:25:01.760 --> 1:25:05.400
<v Speaker 1>response to Rush Limbaugh to Sean Hannity to Glenn Beck

1:25:06.320 --> 1:25:08.920
<v Speaker 1>that the three biggest and best shows on the radio

1:25:09.840 --> 1:25:14.439
<v Speaker 1>right now from the syndication perspective. So I've done all that,

1:25:14.560 --> 1:25:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's worth noting for everybody that I

1:25:17.160 --> 1:25:18.920
<v Speaker 1>am somebody who started out with a whole lot of

1:25:19.520 --> 1:25:25.120
<v Speaker 1>trouble talking. I was a kid who had a speech impediment.

1:25:25.160 --> 1:25:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I always forget the exact but it's essentially a pronunciation defect.

1:25:31.040 --> 1:25:33.439
<v Speaker 1>There was a more official speech therapist term for it.

1:25:33.920 --> 1:25:36.559
<v Speaker 1>But I was somebody who just heard words one way

1:25:36.600 --> 1:25:41.280
<v Speaker 1>and mispronounced them. And this was really embarrassing. As a kid,

1:25:41.400 --> 1:25:46.479
<v Speaker 1>I actually mispronounced believe it or not, I mispronounced my

1:25:46.880 --> 1:25:50.800
<v Speaker 1>own name, and yes I would. I would tell people

1:25:50.840 --> 1:25:53.600
<v Speaker 1>my name was I would tell people. And I was

1:25:53.640 --> 1:25:55.519
<v Speaker 1>a little kid, you know, seven and six seven years

1:25:55.560 --> 1:25:58.400
<v Speaker 1>old my name was butt. And you can imagine that

1:25:58.479 --> 1:26:00.439
<v Speaker 1>that did not go over well with my years. And

1:26:00.520 --> 1:26:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I was very aware. And I also I had to

1:26:03.720 --> 1:26:07.320
<v Speaker 1>have speech therapy lessons as a kid, and so this

1:26:07.520 --> 1:26:10.400
<v Speaker 1>is about the second or third grade speech therapy lessons.

1:26:11.040 --> 1:26:15.000
<v Speaker 1>And I also had to have additional outside tutoring because

1:26:15.000 --> 1:26:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I was falling behind, probably because I lacked confidence in

1:26:21.040 --> 1:26:23.120
<v Speaker 1>a lack of confidence in all the different areas of

1:26:23.160 --> 1:26:25.760
<v Speaker 1>academics at that, you know, writing and trying to begin

1:26:25.840 --> 1:26:28.720
<v Speaker 1>reading and things like that. And my mom, who is

1:26:28.760 --> 1:26:32.479
<v Speaker 1>a superstar champion mom of the universe, never gave up

1:26:32.520 --> 1:26:35.519
<v Speaker 1>on me, and my dad encouraged me, and they stuck

1:26:35.600 --> 1:26:38.080
<v Speaker 1>through it with me. And by the time I got

1:26:38.160 --> 1:26:41.680
<v Speaker 1>to the fifth grade, I was the top student by

1:26:41.720 --> 1:26:43.920
<v Speaker 1>far in my class. By the time I got to

1:26:43.960 --> 1:26:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the eighth grade, I got a full scholarship to a

1:26:46.200 --> 1:26:48.360
<v Speaker 1>private high school in New York. It was one hundred

1:26:48.400 --> 1:26:52.439
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars scholarship. So stick by your kids and those

1:26:52.479 --> 1:26:54.639
<v Speaker 1>you're listening to this. If you got any trouble in school,

1:26:55.000 --> 1:26:57.760
<v Speaker 1>you have a speech impediment, you have to stutter, stay

1:26:57.840 --> 1:27:04.840
<v Speaker 1>on it, stay grade, stay proud, keeper shield high. You're

1:27:04.920 --> 1:27:08.600
<v Speaker 1>in the Freedom Hut. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

1:27:12.520 --> 1:27:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid making fun of Dalton kids because

1:27:15.920 --> 1:27:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, all that school rivalry stuff. We were in

1:27:18.080 --> 1:27:20.360
<v Speaker 1>the same neighborhood. I never thought I'd be on radio

1:27:20.439 --> 1:27:23.599
<v Speaker 1>later on talking about how crazy the Dalton school has gotten,

1:27:23.800 --> 1:27:27.400
<v Speaker 1>but This is indicative of the whole woke mindset that

1:27:27.880 --> 1:27:29.920
<v Speaker 1>this is just it's an example. I want to be

1:27:30.040 --> 1:27:32.720
<v Speaker 1>clear about this, but it's one that this could be

1:27:32.840 --> 1:27:38.360
<v Speaker 1>any corporation. Any company these days has training like this

1:27:38.600 --> 1:27:42.240
<v Speaker 1>city employees in different places, as seen by some of

1:27:42.280 --> 1:27:45.760
<v Speaker 1>the work that mister Christopher rufo of. I think he's

1:27:45.800 --> 1:27:50.800
<v Speaker 1>with the Manhattan Institute, but the work that he's done

1:27:50.840 --> 1:27:53.680
<v Speaker 1>to show that people get this anti racism training as

1:27:53.760 --> 1:27:57.599
<v Speaker 1>part of being a municipal employee in places like Seattle,

1:27:58.400 --> 1:28:03.799
<v Speaker 1>you get anti race racism. Isn't the absence of racism.

1:28:03.920 --> 1:28:07.960
<v Speaker 1>You see, they're escalate the rhetoric changes for a purpose.

1:28:08.040 --> 1:28:10.800
<v Speaker 1>This is not just because people are bored in the

1:28:10.920 --> 1:28:13.639
<v Speaker 1>social justice circles. They're actually doing this for a reason.

1:28:14.479 --> 1:28:17.479
<v Speaker 1>So they create this demand of anti racism. And what

1:28:17.600 --> 1:28:22.560
<v Speaker 1>that effectively is is that it means you have to

1:28:22.640 --> 1:28:26.920
<v Speaker 1>take affirmative steps. You have to take actions as prescribed

1:28:27.720 --> 1:28:30.800
<v Speaker 1>to work against racism. It's not enough to just not

1:28:31.120 --> 1:28:35.600
<v Speaker 1>be racist. You have to do and institutions have to

1:28:35.760 --> 1:28:41.519
<v Speaker 1>do penance in order to make up for the racism

1:28:41.560 --> 1:28:44.040
<v Speaker 1>all around them and the racism they benefit from and

1:28:44.160 --> 1:28:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the racism of history. Now do you ever think that

1:28:47.080 --> 1:28:48.880
<v Speaker 1>you reach a point where you've done enough of this?

1:28:49.640 --> 1:28:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Is there ever such a thing as enough anti racism?

1:28:53.400 --> 1:28:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Remember not we shouldn't be racist. We all agree on

1:28:56.640 --> 1:29:00.280
<v Speaker 1>that racism is bad, racism is immoral, this is something else.

1:29:00.400 --> 1:29:03.880
<v Speaker 1>This is well. Now, there are demands that come from

1:29:03.960 --> 1:29:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the from the anti racism movement that you have to meet.

1:29:08.960 --> 1:29:11.720
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter what you've done. Like I could sit

1:29:11.800 --> 1:29:13.320
<v Speaker 1>here and say, well, hold on a second, I'm the

1:29:13.680 --> 1:29:16.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm the chief financial officer of this company, and uh,

1:29:17.120 --> 1:29:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do this. I don't want to

1:29:20.080 --> 1:29:22.160
<v Speaker 1>give into your list of demands because I treat all

1:29:22.160 --> 1:29:25.120
<v Speaker 1>my employees very well. I advance. You know, I've got

1:29:25.320 --> 1:29:28.719
<v Speaker 1>African American employees and very senior roles and they're very happy.

1:29:28.800 --> 1:29:31.080
<v Speaker 1>And I treat everybody as equals and I'm a good person.

1:29:31.200 --> 1:29:34.720
<v Speaker 1>And the anti racism movement would say no, no, no, no, no,

1:29:34.800 --> 1:29:38.240
<v Speaker 1>no no. That doesn't matter. You give in to the

1:29:38.360 --> 1:29:43.760
<v Speaker 1>anti racism demands because of the system around you that's

1:29:43.800 --> 1:29:47.280
<v Speaker 1>even allowed you, as a white male, to be the CFO.

1:29:47.479 --> 1:29:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Don't you see your actions, your decency, your color blindness

1:29:53.920 --> 1:29:56.200
<v Speaker 1>in the way you treat people. None of that matters

1:29:56.240 --> 1:30:00.920
<v Speaker 1>to the anti racism movement, because ultimately this is a shakedown, right. Ultimately,

1:30:01.000 --> 1:30:04.360
<v Speaker 1>this is do as we say or else. It's not

1:30:04.479 --> 1:30:06.840
<v Speaker 1>about whether you're a good person or your racist or not,

1:30:06.960 --> 1:30:10.960
<v Speaker 1>or your institutions racist or not. There's racism everywhere. And

1:30:11.120 --> 1:30:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the only way that you can be absolved of the

1:30:15.040 --> 1:30:20.080
<v Speaker 1>constant original sin of existing as a white American today

1:30:20.240 --> 1:30:24.719
<v Speaker 1>who does not take part in the anti racism movement

1:30:25.320 --> 1:30:27.360
<v Speaker 1>is to take part of the anti racism movement. There's

1:30:27.400 --> 1:30:31.000
<v Speaker 1>no other way. There's there's no other option. And now

1:30:31.080 --> 1:30:32.920
<v Speaker 1>this brings me to the Dalton School. I mean, this

1:30:33.040 --> 1:30:36.040
<v Speaker 1>is kind of hilarious. This place is a bastion of

1:30:36.200 --> 1:30:38.800
<v Speaker 1>ultra elitism. I'm just going to say this right now

1:30:38.840 --> 1:30:40.920
<v Speaker 1>because I knew a lot of these kids growing up.

1:30:41.720 --> 1:30:44.400
<v Speaker 1>And I also went to a college that a lot

1:30:44.479 --> 1:30:46.760
<v Speaker 1>of Dalton kids like to go to, or a fair

1:30:46.880 --> 1:30:49.320
<v Speaker 1>number of them want to go to, and you know,

1:30:49.400 --> 1:30:52.720
<v Speaker 1>aspire to go to. And I just tell you there

1:30:52.760 --> 1:30:54.720
<v Speaker 1>are plenty of kids that go to Harvard and go

1:30:54.840 --> 1:30:57.200
<v Speaker 1>to you know, Princeton and Stanford and all these schools

1:30:57.960 --> 1:31:00.400
<v Speaker 1>who don't have parents paying fifty four thousand dollars a

1:31:00.520 --> 1:31:02.439
<v Speaker 1>year to send them to school, and this is just nuts.

1:31:02.960 --> 1:31:04.960
<v Speaker 1>It's just not worth it. I mean, if you're if

1:31:05.000 --> 1:31:07.559
<v Speaker 1>you're so rich that money has very little meaning. I mean,

1:31:07.600 --> 1:31:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I guess maybe, and it creates this sort of social connection.

1:31:11.000 --> 1:31:12.519
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of a lot of kids who go

1:31:12.600 --> 1:31:15.679
<v Speaker 1>to these kinds of these kinds of super fancy private schools.

1:31:15.680 --> 1:31:17.400
<v Speaker 1>And again I know, and many of them were friends

1:31:17.400 --> 1:31:20.120
<v Speaker 1>of mine or people that I knew growing up. They

1:31:20.439 --> 1:31:23.640
<v Speaker 1>don't end up been very much they they end up

1:31:23.680 --> 1:31:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if mom and dad have so much money

1:31:26.280 --> 1:31:28.360
<v Speaker 1>that they can buy their way through life, maybe, but

1:31:28.479 --> 1:31:31.720
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot of money, right, That's that's a very

1:31:31.840 --> 1:31:36.680
<v Speaker 1>high bar. Anyway, the Dalton School list of demands, and

1:31:36.800 --> 1:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>this comes after remember Meghan Kelly is very very high

1:31:40.080 --> 1:31:44.960
<v Speaker 1>profile removal of her children from the Collegiate School, which

1:31:45.080 --> 1:31:48.160
<v Speaker 1>was a rival of my school, Saint David's, growing up.

1:31:49.040 --> 1:31:51.599
<v Speaker 1>So I know the Collegiate School very well. Meghan Kelly,

1:31:51.760 --> 1:31:55.080
<v Speaker 1>formerly of Fox News, now you know, does her own projects.

1:31:55.680 --> 1:31:58.679
<v Speaker 1>She pulled her child out publicly, just said I'm pulling

1:31:58.760 --> 1:32:01.040
<v Speaker 1>my kid out, and I believe it was over, Although

1:32:01.040 --> 1:32:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if she really got into this much yet,

1:32:03.640 --> 1:32:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I believe it was over this sort of transgender and

1:32:08.160 --> 1:32:11.400
<v Speaker 1>gender identity training that was being look that they were

1:32:11.400 --> 1:32:14.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to brainwash her son into Collegiates, an all boys school.

1:32:14.080 --> 1:32:15.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't even you can't even say that anymore. Collegiate

1:32:16.000 --> 1:32:24.160
<v Speaker 1>is a school of self identified male gender individuals. But

1:32:24.280 --> 1:32:27.880
<v Speaker 1>she pulled her student out daltin very similar place. Here's

1:32:27.880 --> 1:32:29.200
<v Speaker 1>this stuff that they want. I mean, this is where

1:32:29.200 --> 1:32:31.880
<v Speaker 1>you really get into the why is this getting so

1:32:32.000 --> 1:32:36.320
<v Speaker 1>much attention? Now? Apparent leaked a memo and it's a

1:32:36.439 --> 1:32:39.519
<v Speaker 1>list of demands. One hundred and twenty nine faculty and

1:32:39.560 --> 1:32:43.760
<v Speaker 1>staff members signed this. That's most of the faculty and

1:32:43.800 --> 1:32:45.519
<v Speaker 1>staff at the Daltins school. I can tell you that.

1:32:45.600 --> 1:32:48.160
<v Speaker 1>All right, that's a big chunk of I mean maybe

1:32:48.200 --> 1:32:50.400
<v Speaker 1>they've got two hundred and faculty ins that maybe, I

1:32:50.439 --> 1:32:54.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know, that would be a lot. I mean, one

1:32:54.080 --> 1:32:56.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty nine is going to be almost everybody.

1:32:56.600 --> 1:32:59.599
<v Speaker 1>So the faculty and staff signed this thing. They attest

1:32:59.680 --> 1:33:03.760
<v Speaker 1>to this, and this was given out to parents, and

1:33:04.000 --> 1:33:06.960
<v Speaker 1>here are some of the demands laid out. They want

1:33:07.280 --> 1:33:13.599
<v Speaker 1>twelve diversity officers. That's right, they want twelve adults paid.

1:33:13.680 --> 1:33:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure a very competitive salary for something that they

1:33:17.280 --> 1:33:20.640
<v Speaker 1>think that anyone could do. Twelve adults, probably paid all

1:33:20.640 --> 1:33:23.880
<v Speaker 1>in the six figure range, whose only job is to

1:33:24.080 --> 1:33:26.439
<v Speaker 1>go around this school which does not have I mean,

1:33:26.479 --> 1:33:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I find out how many student only has a few

1:33:28.720 --> 1:33:32.200
<v Speaker 1>with the high school, probably five hundred kids in the

1:33:32.280 --> 1:33:38.680
<v Speaker 1>whole thing and something like that. But this school is

1:33:38.680 --> 1:33:41.160
<v Speaker 1>going to have twelve people and twelve adults whose only

1:33:41.240 --> 1:33:44.360
<v Speaker 1>job is to go around and effectively find racism and

1:33:44.600 --> 1:33:47.960
<v Speaker 1>lack of race equity in the school in the way

1:33:48.040 --> 1:33:49.920
<v Speaker 1>that it's it's doing, you know, whatever it is that

1:33:50.000 --> 1:33:52.280
<v Speaker 1>it's doing, whether we're talking about academics or anything else.

1:33:53.320 --> 1:33:55.680
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of diversity. I mean, I think one

1:33:55.760 --> 1:33:58.080
<v Speaker 1>diversity officer is too many, because why do you need

1:33:58.160 --> 1:34:02.120
<v Speaker 1>diversity officers? Can people just you know, if the school

1:34:02.160 --> 1:34:05.960
<v Speaker 1>wants to make a play to be very diverse, the

1:34:05.960 --> 1:34:08.439
<v Speaker 1>admissions committee can do that and they can have that

1:34:08.479 --> 1:34:10.320
<v Speaker 1>as part of their ethos, and you need someone to

1:34:10.439 --> 1:34:16.080
<v Speaker 1>monitor that well. Having a diversity officers part of the diversity.

1:34:16.400 --> 1:34:19.559
<v Speaker 1>That's part of the whole diversity apparatus. You understand, it's

1:34:19.600 --> 1:34:21.160
<v Speaker 1>not just about the students. You got to also have

1:34:21.240 --> 1:34:24.679
<v Speaker 1>some adults who are diversity officers, who, of course themselves

1:34:24.720 --> 1:34:28.639
<v Speaker 1>are generally going to be from a diversity pool. They're

1:34:28.640 --> 1:34:33.080
<v Speaker 1>going to be from hired from disadvantage minority groups. That's

1:34:33.120 --> 1:34:37.639
<v Speaker 1>the way this works. This was a great one. Fifty

1:34:37.800 --> 1:34:41.960
<v Speaker 1>percent of all donations to the Dalton School which has

1:34:42.040 --> 1:34:45.599
<v Speaker 1>in ultra wealthy, a lot of hedge funders as parents,

1:34:45.680 --> 1:34:47.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of you know, very very famous, the other

1:34:48.040 --> 1:34:51.519
<v Speaker 1>billionaires who send their kids to Dalton, and fifty percent

1:34:51.560 --> 1:34:53.880
<v Speaker 1>of all donations to the schools have to be rerouted

1:34:53.920 --> 1:34:59.479
<v Speaker 1>to public city schools. So they want to take If

1:34:59.560 --> 1:35:01.599
<v Speaker 1>you give a check for a million dollars to Dalton,

1:35:01.640 --> 1:35:04.200
<v Speaker 1>which people usually do, so that there are other kids

1:35:04.280 --> 1:35:06.599
<v Speaker 1>can get into Dalton, that's the whole game. But if

1:35:06.640 --> 1:35:08.360
<v Speaker 1>you give your check for a million dollars to Dalton,

1:35:08.439 --> 1:35:11.840
<v Speaker 1>now the faculty and staff of that school one half

1:35:11.920 --> 1:35:14.479
<v Speaker 1>of that money to go to the public school system,

1:35:15.200 --> 1:35:18.080
<v Speaker 1>forced to force donation. How well do you think that's

1:35:18.120 --> 1:35:20.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna And let me all study this. Dalton's very liberal.

1:35:21.080 --> 1:35:23.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a very liberal school, very liberal parents. You're not

1:35:23.800 --> 1:35:25.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna find it. You're not gonna find a lot of

1:35:26.600 --> 1:35:29.599
<v Speaker 1>buck Sexton listeners among the Dalton parents, that's for sure.

1:35:30.200 --> 1:35:32.960
<v Speaker 1>They're all they're all watching you know Anderson, Cooper and

1:35:33.120 --> 1:35:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Tapper and matt Ow and what reading the New York

1:35:35.400 --> 1:35:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Times libs, you're gonna have a ninety percent plus of

1:35:38.680 --> 1:35:41.479
<v Speaker 1>them are going to be Libs. Dalton's a very very

1:35:41.600 --> 1:35:45.040
<v Speaker 1>left wing school in that regard rich but left wing elites,

1:35:45.240 --> 1:35:50.599
<v Speaker 1>but Democrats or Democrat elites here. So the fifty percent

1:35:50.640 --> 1:35:53.240
<v Speaker 1>donation thing, that was pretty amazing. And this one was interesting.

1:35:54.280 --> 1:35:56.360
<v Speaker 1>This is according to the Daily Mails right up of this,

1:35:57.080 --> 1:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>all AP classes advanced basement placement classes would be eliminated

1:36:03.120 --> 1:36:09.679
<v Speaker 1>by twenty twenty three if student scores weren't racially equal,

1:36:10.600 --> 1:36:13.679
<v Speaker 1>so they would get rid of all AP scores unless

1:36:13.800 --> 1:36:17.120
<v Speaker 1>minorities were scoring as high as their white and I

1:36:17.240 --> 1:36:21.400
<v Speaker 1>assume their Asian counterparts in these classes, because it gives

1:36:21.400 --> 1:36:24.560
<v Speaker 1>an unfair advantage in the college admissions process that some

1:36:24.760 --> 1:36:27.479
<v Speaker 1>kids get fives and fours on APS and some kids

1:36:27.560 --> 1:36:30.280
<v Speaker 1>get twos and threes. It's out of five by the way,

1:36:31.720 --> 1:36:34.479
<v Speaker 1>the Dalton School, Yeah, that's right, they want to get

1:36:34.600 --> 1:36:36.760
<v Speaker 1>rid of AP class and that goes on and on.

1:36:37.000 --> 1:36:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh wait, here's more, overhaul the entire curriculum. This is

1:36:41.479 --> 1:36:44.519
<v Speaker 1>from the actual list of demands and add required courses.

1:36:45.000 --> 1:36:49.880
<v Speaker 1>That explicitly center black liberation and challenges to white supremacy.

1:36:52.640 --> 1:36:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Reduce tuition for black students whose photographs appear in school

1:36:56.360 --> 1:37:01.080
<v Speaker 1>promotional materials. Pay students of the school if a photo

1:37:01.160 --> 1:37:04.000
<v Speaker 1>of the students is used in a pamphlet about the

1:37:04.080 --> 1:37:08.559
<v Speaker 1>school for black students, nothing is said about other students.

1:37:09.760 --> 1:37:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Mandatory community and diversity days to be held throughout the year.

1:37:15.040 --> 1:37:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Required anti bias training to be conducted every year for

1:37:19.400 --> 1:37:28.440
<v Speaker 1>all staff and parent volunteers. Mandatory minority representation in elected

1:37:28.560 --> 1:37:31.519
<v Speaker 1>student leadership roles. That's right, they're going to have a

1:37:31.680 --> 1:37:35.799
<v Speaker 1>quota within the student government that has to be filled

1:37:35.920 --> 1:37:43.960
<v Speaker 1>of minority students. Mandatory diversity plot lines in school plays.

1:37:45.840 --> 1:37:52.919
<v Speaker 1>Hiring of multiple psychologists with specialization on the psychological issues

1:37:53.120 --> 1:37:59.360
<v Speaker 1>affecting ethnic minority populations. And it just goes on. Oh,

1:37:59.720 --> 1:38:06.040
<v Speaker 1>and require public anti racism statements from all employees annually,

1:38:06.920 --> 1:38:13.360
<v Speaker 1>officially in writing, bend the knee to this lunacy. These

1:38:13.400 --> 1:38:15.880
<v Speaker 1>are the requirements you want to work at the Daltins.

1:38:16.040 --> 1:38:18.000
<v Speaker 1>You know who was the headmaster of the Dalton School.

1:38:18.080 --> 1:38:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Fun fact, long time ago to give you a sense

1:38:20.400 --> 1:38:25.000
<v Speaker 1>of how much that place has changed, Bill Barr, the

1:38:25.120 --> 1:38:28.599
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General of the United States was the headmaster a long,

1:38:28.920 --> 1:38:32.320
<v Speaker 1>long time ago at the Dalton School. One another fun

1:38:32.439 --> 1:38:37.240
<v Speaker 1>fact or interesting fact. You know who was while Bill

1:38:37.320 --> 1:38:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Barr was the headmaster, which I think you can now

1:38:41.200 --> 1:38:43.719
<v Speaker 1>it's like principal or they Calton. They can't say headmaster,

1:38:44.200 --> 1:38:46.799
<v Speaker 1>but they used to be headmaster of the Dalton School.

1:38:46.840 --> 1:38:50.160
<v Speaker 1>You know who was one of his math teachers, one

1:38:50.479 --> 1:38:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Epstein. We were all told to believe beyond a

1:38:54.600 --> 1:38:56.760
<v Speaker 1>reasonab Without killed himself even though he was in a

1:38:56.840 --> 1:39:01.559
<v Speaker 1>high security prison under surveillance constantly. Okay, so yeah, Dalton

1:39:01.640 --> 1:39:06.479
<v Speaker 1>has some famous faculty alumni, that's for sure. Now I

1:39:06.600 --> 1:39:08.320
<v Speaker 1>understand a lot of you. You're like, well, my kid

1:39:08.400 --> 1:39:10.760
<v Speaker 1>goes to a grade school out in Bergen County, or

1:39:10.840 --> 1:39:13.160
<v Speaker 1>my kid goes to a grade school out out in

1:39:13.240 --> 1:39:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Suffolk or something. I get that. Do you feel like

1:39:15.600 --> 1:39:17.800
<v Speaker 1>does this really and you know when someone's going to

1:39:17.880 --> 1:39:23.920
<v Speaker 1>fifty four thousand dollars a year factory of elitism and pomposity,

1:39:24.000 --> 1:39:25.880
<v Speaker 1>which is what Dalton really is. That's right, I'm taking

1:39:25.920 --> 1:39:28.200
<v Speaker 1>some shots at it. Remember I went to read this

1:39:28.520 --> 1:39:31.960
<v Speaker 1>scholarship school, Thank you very much. My dad had to

1:39:32.080 --> 1:39:35.479
<v Speaker 1>send me to school the first week of school with

1:39:35.640 --> 1:39:41.440
<v Speaker 1>a twenty dollar check, twenty dollars to take for laboratory

1:39:41.560 --> 1:39:43.360
<v Speaker 1>fees and some kind of a student fee. That's a

1:39:43.439 --> 1:39:46.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty bucks. Other than that private education four years. It's

1:39:46.720 --> 1:39:48.400
<v Speaker 1>a great place. So I give read Us a lot

1:39:48.479 --> 1:39:51.040
<v Speaker 1>of credit as the best twenty dollars anybody could spend.

1:39:52.160 --> 1:39:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Dalton costs fifty four grands, so that's that's quite a

1:39:55.560 --> 1:39:58.000
<v Speaker 1>bit more than twenty bucks. And I think it was

1:39:58.040 --> 1:40:00.679
<v Speaker 1>an inferior education, but we could argue about at another time.

1:40:02.080 --> 1:40:04.200
<v Speaker 1>But when you see this happening in a school like that,

1:40:04.400 --> 1:40:06.759
<v Speaker 1>understand that this is happening at a place where the parents,

1:40:07.479 --> 1:40:12.840
<v Speaker 1>where you'd think there'd be there's enough financial and educational

1:40:13.000 --> 1:40:16.080
<v Speaker 1>power among the parents that they wouldn't be forced to

1:40:16.760 --> 1:40:18.800
<v Speaker 1>deal with this level of lunacy, that the school would

1:40:18.800 --> 1:40:25.760
<v Speaker 1>want to protect this reputation in some way. And no, eventually, everyone, eventually,

1:40:25.880 --> 1:40:28.000
<v Speaker 1>everyone is supposed to bend the need of this stuff.

1:40:28.000 --> 1:40:29.920
<v Speaker 1>This will come to your child's school. If it has

1:40:30.000 --> 1:40:32.720
<v Speaker 1>not already, it probably is already there. You just may

1:40:32.800 --> 1:40:35.479
<v Speaker 1>not be aware of it. Your son or your daughter

1:40:36.160 --> 1:40:41.080
<v Speaker 1>is being indoctrinated in this anti racism stuff. Sometimes they'll

1:40:41.080 --> 1:40:44.519
<v Speaker 1>call it anti bias training. Same thing. This is left

1:40:44.600 --> 1:40:49.679
<v Speaker 1>wing cultural Marxism. This is left wing identity politics taught

1:40:49.800 --> 1:40:52.639
<v Speaker 1>as though it is the only way to see the world.

1:40:52.720 --> 1:40:55.600
<v Speaker 1>And if you doubt it, if you challenge it, you

1:40:55.680 --> 1:40:57.639
<v Speaker 1>know what they hit you with. You know what your

1:40:57.760 --> 1:41:02.679
<v Speaker 1>sin is? You fail to join as an anti racist?

1:41:03.280 --> 1:41:05.120
<v Speaker 1>And what does it mean about you if you're in,

1:41:05.320 --> 1:41:08.599
<v Speaker 1>If you're not an anti racist, what what do you think?

1:41:08.640 --> 1:41:13.439
<v Speaker 1>The conclusion is that they want everyone to draw right away, well,

1:41:13.439 --> 1:41:17.679
<v Speaker 1>if you're not an anti racist, you must be a yes,

1:41:18.920 --> 1:41:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a racist. Thanks for listening to the Bus Show podcasts.

1:41:23.479 --> 1:41:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, at the iHeart Radio app,

1:41:27.200 --> 1:41:31.320
<v Speaker 1>or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, our final

1:41:31.720 --> 1:41:35.040
<v Speaker 1>role call of twenty twenty went a little long in

1:41:35.080 --> 1:41:36.760
<v Speaker 1>the last one, so it's gonna this is gonna be

1:41:36.920 --> 1:41:40.000
<v Speaker 1>a shorter role call than I usually would do. But

1:41:40.040 --> 1:41:42.000
<v Speaker 1>don't worry. We've got so many role calls come to

1:41:42.040 --> 1:41:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the new year. And also, one thing I will do,

1:41:43.640 --> 1:41:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you this. I'll try, I'll catch

1:41:45.840 --> 1:41:47.800
<v Speaker 1>up and I'll be looking through a lot of messages

1:41:48.280 --> 1:41:52.439
<v Speaker 1>on Facebook, on TikTok, on Instagram. I'm not really going

1:41:52.520 --> 1:41:54.360
<v Speaker 1>to be posting, and I'm not gonna be doing shows

1:41:54.520 --> 1:41:57.640
<v Speaker 1>over the Christmas break, but I will be and the

1:41:57.720 --> 1:42:00.880
<v Speaker 1>show will be reachable. So a message and you know,

1:42:00.920 --> 1:42:02.840
<v Speaker 1>if you want a few to Lula photos, I'll put

1:42:02.920 --> 1:42:04.960
<v Speaker 1>some to Lula photos up online to Lula of course

1:42:05.040 --> 1:42:07.679
<v Speaker 1>the dog. And yeah, I mean so I'll be looking

1:42:07.720 --> 1:42:09.800
<v Speaker 1>through messages, so if you send us roll calls, and

1:42:09.960 --> 1:42:12.920
<v Speaker 1>we'll certainly pick through and grab some to start us

1:42:13.000 --> 1:42:16.519
<v Speaker 1>off January fourth, when we're back here. And like I said,

1:42:16.720 --> 1:42:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Michael Pelca is gonna be taken over from me, So

1:42:18.320 --> 1:42:19.920
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be a Buck sex and show. It's just

1:42:20.080 --> 1:42:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Michael Palca guest hosting, and he always does a great job.

1:42:25.360 --> 1:42:27.920
<v Speaker 1>And Mike is an old friend of mine and just

1:42:28.040 --> 1:42:30.320
<v Speaker 1>such a such a good dude, and I really think

1:42:30.400 --> 1:42:34.200
<v Speaker 1>you should listen to him. dB writes in for roll call,

1:42:34.600 --> 1:42:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey Buck, I want to let you know that I'm

1:42:36.040 --> 1:42:38.519
<v Speaker 1>truly appalled by our politicians and the people in power.

1:42:38.880 --> 1:42:40.960
<v Speaker 1>It's disturbing to me that these people feel they are

1:42:41.120 --> 1:42:45.200
<v Speaker 1>so important that they put themselves in front of the

1:42:45.200 --> 1:42:49.040
<v Speaker 1>people who they supposedly serve. When I watch AOC and

1:42:49.160 --> 1:42:52.200
<v Speaker 1>her cronies that are not vital, laughing and having fun

1:42:52.280 --> 1:42:54.400
<v Speaker 1>while getting their shots. It discuss me to my core.

1:42:54.840 --> 1:42:57.559
<v Speaker 1>To put yourself before doctors, nurses, the sick and dying,

1:42:57.920 --> 1:43:00.639
<v Speaker 1>the elderly, and those who really need the shot. Should

1:43:00.640 --> 1:43:03.040
<v Speaker 1>show all Americans who they really are and what they

1:43:03.120 --> 1:43:06.439
<v Speaker 1>care about. Simply disgusting. I voiced my opinion. Oh yeah,

1:43:06.560 --> 1:43:10.040
<v Speaker 1>the governor of California and Cuomo are garbage. I'm happy

1:43:10.080 --> 1:43:12.679
<v Speaker 1>I live in Florida. Love the show. Peace Scott dB

1:43:13.479 --> 1:43:16.360
<v Speaker 1>thanks AKA Scott, thanks so much man. Great of you

1:43:16.479 --> 1:43:20.840
<v Speaker 1>to write in. I appreciate it, and I agree with

1:43:20.960 --> 1:43:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you on the governors. And I also think it's absurd

1:43:23.360 --> 1:43:27.040
<v Speaker 1>AOC didn't need that shot. That's just there's no justifications.

1:43:27.160 --> 1:43:29.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what the government policies. It's dumb. TJ

1:43:29.640 --> 1:43:31.879
<v Speaker 1>writes Buck. What do you think about Ted Cruise's proposal

1:43:32.080 --> 1:43:35.120
<v Speaker 1>for Trump to send the Iran Nuclear Deal and the

1:43:35.280 --> 1:43:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Paris Accords to Congress so that the Senate can officially

1:43:39.160 --> 1:43:42.280
<v Speaker 1>veto them as national treaties and thereby nullify any advances

1:43:42.280 --> 1:43:43.840
<v Speaker 1>that Biden may try to make on them when he

1:43:43.920 --> 1:43:47.080
<v Speaker 1>gets into office. Also, what are some other powers or

1:43:47.200 --> 1:43:50.320
<v Speaker 1>deals that Trump could give or send back to Congress

1:43:50.360 --> 1:43:52.760
<v Speaker 1>to further limit the power of the executive branch before

1:43:52.840 --> 1:43:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Biden takes office. What do you think. I think that's

1:43:55.600 --> 1:43:58.080
<v Speaker 1>a great idea. I love this. Send the treaties to

1:43:58.160 --> 1:44:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the Senate to get to see the Senate vote on them,

1:44:01.560 --> 1:44:03.919
<v Speaker 1>and then that becomes the record. I think that's brilliant.
