WEBVTT - Guess How Well Mask Mandates Work 0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:03.520 You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.760 buck Sexton Show podcast to get the latest from Buckhead 0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:12.160 buck Sexton dot com. I try not to watch this 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:15.680 silly stuff about the British Royals. In fact, the Daily Mail, 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:17.440 which is one of my favorite websites for a lot 0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:19.880 of things, I wish I could pay them a subscription 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:22.920 just so I didn't have to see all this stuff 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.479 about what's going on with Meghan and Harry. I could 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.800 care less, But now they have overtaken our culture. Now, 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.040 all of a sudden, we're supposed to be paying attention 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:33.400 to this, at least for the next day or so, 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.159 so I'll do some of that. Also, we've got to 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:40.280 get into Cuomo and how this guy is just constantly 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:43.199 shifting the goalposts. He's trying to now pretend that he 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.800 just wants an investigation. Send it past at one point 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:47.880 nine trillion dollars spending goal. We've got a lot to 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.440 get to today. But you know, the Internet never forgets, 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.160 and it's never been a more important time to understand 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.400 that than right now, because given how much what you 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:01.080 look for online can be tracked and sword and put 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.840 into an algorithm, now more than ever you really need 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.160 to be aware of the fact that your data is 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:09.000 out there, it's being mined, it's being farmed, and it 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.560 could even be used against you. When this cancel culture 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.880 world we're in, you never know if going to certain 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.759 sites that look at politics in a particular way could 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:19.639 become a problem for you down the line. You also 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.120 have the possibility that people out there are going to 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.240 sell your data in a way that would really infringe 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.720 upon your privacy.

I'm pretty sure we fought a 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.480 war a couple of hundred years ago so that we'd 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.480 never have to pay attention to the British monarchy ever again, 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.720 and the American people wouldn't have to ever give a crap, 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:55.040 if you will, what the monarchs think about anything. But 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.239 here we are, now, with the complete saturation and domination 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.639 of media today, with this interview. I saw some of 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.600 it last I couldn't stomach watching the whole thing. I 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.440 just don't care enough, but I watched enough of it 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.280 to get it to get the gist. And here's what 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:13.000 we know. Harry and Meghan are part of the British 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.519 royal family. I don't even know what their official titles 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.280 are anything. I don't really care, but they sat down 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:23.160 with Oprah, who is a multi billionaire, to whine about 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.960 how their lives are so hard and the British Royal 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.359 Family is being mean to them. And for a lot 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:33.440 of people they view this as, I don't know, a 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:38.920 fairytale story gone awry. There's a fascination for certainly Americans 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:43.080 and definitely for everybody in the UK about the Royal 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.920 Family that they either they hate them they love them. 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.560 But for a lot of us here you think of 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.680 a case like this and you say, how could it 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:56.119 be possible to find people who are more privileged than 0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:01.920 ultra rich celebrities like Royal family? How could you find 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:06.880 anybody who's more more privileged than this? And yet they 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.080 want to be victims. Harry and Meggan. I don't know them, 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.520 I don't care. But now the whole world, this is 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.720 the biggest news story in the world. Right now, You've 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:19.119 got two incredibly lucky, I mean lucky beyond a normal 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:23.000 person's wildest dreams, human beings who want to go on 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.400 TV and want about Look, I'm not saying they don't 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.640 have challenges. I know that every human being. You know, 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.839 you see people you don't see the full truth of 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.560 their situation. You see what people have to deal with, 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.560 and you don't recognize all the challenges they've gone through. 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:39.040 I get that, of course. You know, you see some 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.040 of your greatest heroes throughout history have you know, substance 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.520 abuse problems, or terrible personal issues in their marriage or 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.920 you know what, you know, have demons have extreme depression 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.440 of things that they have to handle. I'm not in 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.200 any way negating any of that, but this is a 0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:01.719 move that is beneficial. You see for Harry and Megan, 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.000 this is something that really just elevates their brand, their 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:10.080 power in their career, and it's indicative of this sickness 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:14.599 of victimology chasing that has come to dominate Western civilization 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.200 and Western culture. Now. You know, the entire Western world 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:22.760 seems completely obsessed with this idea that if you can, 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:27.279 if you can claim righteous victimhood status, everybody has to 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.320 feel sorry for you and give you what you want 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.360 and do so because of the moral obligation you've imposed 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.919 on them. And it's just it absolves, you know, the 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:43.760 victim mentality absolves people of their own mistakes. It means 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.680 they're no longer responsible for their shortcomings. It means that 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.760 there is always an out right Why hasn't something worked 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.919 out the way that you thought it showed or you 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:57.360 wanted to. It's not your fault. You're a victim. Why 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.720 aren't you a better person? Why don't you treat people better? 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.760 Why don't you work harder? Why don't you get more done? 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:07.080 Why aren't you more disciplined? Why aren't you more exemplary 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:11.039 when it comes to character and courage and kindness? None 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.080 of that matters. If you're a victim, it's not your fault. 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.159 You see, there's other people that are doing all these 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.480 things to you. There's other people who have made your 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.760 life so much harder. And even if, as Harry and 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:25.600 Meghan are, you are globally recognized celebrities for no real reason. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:30.320 I mean, in the case of Harry because he was born, 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.599 he's famous, and in the case of Megan, because she's 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:38.320 an attractive female who married him. Now everybody has to 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.440 care who they are and pretend that somehow what they 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.200 say matters. It's absurd, the whole thing. But in a way, 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.919 the royal family starting the mid twentieth century were the 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:52.920 original ultra celebrities before the Kardashians came along and really 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.520 proved out the celebrity because you're a celebrity model. The 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.400 closest thing we had too was being born into the 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:02.039 British royal family, and there has always been this this 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.840 fascination with them for some people. I, as I've said, 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.520 I think the whole thing is absurd. I think monarchy 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.320 should be abolished. I don't understand why anybody doesn't see that. 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.920 But I'm also an American, so I know a lot 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:17.000 of us is sitting here, but America's embracing this couple 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.560 now too. You see, they were on with Oprah, the 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.840 ultimate media powerbroker. I mean, if you're talking about a 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:27.080 media brand that is of course worth billions of dollars, 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.840 but that has tremendous sway in pop culture. I don't 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.600 know if you could find somebody more powerful than Oprah. 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.080 She sits down with them, spends three hours with them, 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.440 and they get to complain. Of course, if you want 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.840 to be a real victim, they go with with some 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:47.640 of the the victimology greatest hits, uh, namely Megan makes 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.200 some insinuations about racism. Well that because that's all you 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.280 have to do is say something or someone is racist, 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.240 and now all of a sudden you're you're you're one 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.080 of the good people. You're you're righteous, you have been 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:03.840 you have been wronged, and society must pay you some 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.600 debt of some kind to make everything better. What does 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.640 that even mean? How do we do that? Don't worry 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:13.360 about the details. People bathe in, they luxuriate in. And 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.840 this is true all across our society. It's true with 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:20.240 cancel culture. All right, we just had Peppi Lapew has 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.320 now gone from the Space Jam movies, and I'm not 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.840 kidding because of rape culture. They also got rid of 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:30.320 Speedy Gonzalez. They've gotten rid of six of the Doctor 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.400 SEUs books, as you know. Now that's the choice of 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:37.040 the Doctor SEUs publishing company. But still it's showing you 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.320 where the mentality is right now. But it's because there 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.320 are people that are afraid of being accused of being 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.240 a victimizer, and there are a whole lot more people 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.880 out there who just walk around trying to find a 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:53.840 way to view themselves as victims. It's really an obsession. 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:59.480 It's a deep seated mindset because think about what it does. 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:04.320 It absolves you from all of your transgressions, It absolves 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.760 you from all of your guilt, it removes any need 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.520 for you to have introspection, for you to be honest 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.840 with yourself about what's gone right and wrong in your 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.280 own decisions, in your own life. You're a victim. It's 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:20.840 somebody else's fault. It takes agency away from you. And 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:22.520 in a sense, the same way I tell you that 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.760 a lot of people like to be controlled, a lot 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.240 of people like to be victims because it means that 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.920 now they have a purpose. They just exist to be 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:38.760 emblems of how others have wronged them. And you can 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.840 monetize this. You can use this to grow your brand. 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.439 You can use this to grow your power, which is 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.280 really the dynamics that we see at play now all 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.120 across cancel culture in America. But that's right, Harry and began. 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:54.440 They live in what looks like a palace that one 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.359 of the Medici family would have lived in in Renaissance 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:01.880 era Florence. But they're lives are really hard because people 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.760 in the royal family weren't always super nice to them, 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:06.959 or didn't treat them with all of the pomp and 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:10.240 circumstance they wanted, or something. It's not even really clear, 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:15.720 but just some some insinuations about racism and we have 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.520 things really hard. Feel sorry for us while we have 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:23.360 our multimillion dollar Netflix deal living in a mansion that 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:27.040 looks like it's out of a fairytale in California. Oh gosh, 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.720 things are so hard for us. This goes to show you, 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.920 no matter, no matter who we're talking about here in society, now, 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.960 it seems that there's an opportunity should they choose, there's 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.920 an opportunity to claim victim, victim's status. I mean the 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:46.160 case of Harry. You have a white male monarch, but 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:53.199 he's married to somebody who is a quarter a quarter minority. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:58.520 She's one of her parents is bi racial and is black, 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.880 And so we have to hear about how hard it's 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.000 been for Harry too. You sit around and you wonder, 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.439 when is this too, When is this all just too absurd? 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.400 When are people no longer in a position to claim 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.880 at they're victims? But then again, look at some of 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:18.120 the most powerful people in our society. Look at you know, 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.040 Hillary Clinton. Why did she lose the twenty sixteen election 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:25.319 because she's a woman, she says Lebron James, globally recognize 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.800 celebrity probably worth close to a billion dollars now, himself, 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.160 certainly half a billion dollars. But you know he's got 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.880 to do protests in hoodies and it's so hard and 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:38.240 talk about how the challenges of the streets, what it 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.760 is to be a poor minority in American inner cities today, 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.880 because you know, he's had to overcome that challenge. Jim 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.439 the guy's been I think he was on the cover 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:49.760 of Sports Illustrated when he was sixteen. But yeah, it's 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.199 been a really tough road. You know, this is what 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.600 we see now. Everyone's ang length is everybody wants this because, 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.600 in a sense, it's the ultimate power. It's invulnerability from 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:02.800 your own failings, your own poor decisions, and it gives 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.680 you power over other people. You can make demands from them. 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.959 And it also brings you sympathy. People are like, oh, 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.320 you're so great. Look what you've achieved, Look what you've done, 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:17.439 because you've overcome the victims status. People are looking for 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.959 this all over the place. In so many ways, it 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:26.080 undermines what we know is good and true and worthwhile 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.360 in America and Western societies, which is that every individual, 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:35.040 regardless of race, creed, color, gender, every individual is equal 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.199 in the eyes of God, but also is responsible for 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:41.200 his or her own life and decisions, and there needs 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.320 to be honesty about this. You know, we all are 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.239 failed individuals in our own way. We all have our shortcomings, 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:53.000 and it's really a form of malignant narcissism to think 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.680 that whatever hasn't gone right in your life is because 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.680 of what somebody else has done. Wherever you've come up short, 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.400 it's because the system has oppressed you or held you down, 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:03.840 even when you're at the very top of the system. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.079 Think about the think about the confusion here, that the 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:12.319 cognitive dissonance. You can be an ultra famous elite billionaire 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.719 and go on TV and cry about how hard everything is, 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.040 and people are supposed to feel sorry for you. I'd say, oh, well, 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.000 this isn't America. This is the UK, this is their 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.959 royal family, and people have a fascination with this, like 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.480 we're all reading some story book about kings and queens 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.480 back in the Middle Ages or something. But it's a 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.360 problem here in America too, which is why we've also 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:38.160 why our culture has latched onto this. Everybody wants to 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.040 be a victim these days. Why is that, Well, it's 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.439 because it means that they get all of the benefits 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.960 and none of the responsibilities of their position, and they 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.959 can get even more. This is a part of the 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.480 cancel culture wave in this country. It's also a part 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.240 of the leftism that seeks to tear down and destroy 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.400 everything that we view as objective, everything that we view 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:06.199 as an issue of merit, truth or falsehood. It can 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.600 all be changed, it can all be moved around, depending 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:14.319 on what one's narrative of victim status may be. You know, 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:18.439 you didn't build that, you didn't achieve that, and whatever 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.560 I did. If I'm a victim, well there's always a 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.720 way to turn that around and make it somebody else's problem. Well, 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.800 we have to acknowledge that what is the public likely 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.200 to do with any guidance that we give them. And 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.840 if we just tell people that they've got to stay cocooned, 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:36.960 that they've got to stay in their homes, that they've 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.880 got to continue to wear their mask even though they're 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.920 fully vaccinated, they're not going to do that. They're going 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.880 to disregard the public health recommendations. So we have to 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.240 get real. We have to say, you know, what what 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.960 does it mean if I've not seen my grandchildren for 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:54.000 the last year and I'm now vaccinated. My spouse is vaccinated, 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.040 you know, can I see those kids are not. They're 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.560 not likely to have vaccine through next fall or next winter. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.960 We have to be practical, and I worry a little 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.640 bit that we will basically stay with this idea that 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.800 we've had all along do this or else. And so 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.600 I hope that the CDC guidance acknowledges that people are 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:16.360 not going to do the extreme of staying master twenty 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.720 twenty two. That's just not going to happen. So what 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.440 can we provide them reasonable information that gives them the 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.400 best case for protecting themselves, Like you know what, you 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.680 wouldn't catch me tonight in a crowded restaurant somewhere, even 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.440 with my vaccination. I think that's what we have to 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.920 concentrate on and let them do the kinds of things 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:39.800 that are really much safer. That's Ouster home. It was 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.480 a Biden COVID advisor right giving the Biden administration when 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:47.680 it was coming in during the transition advice on COVID nineteen. 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.400 And what he's saying is we need to start to 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.800 understand what reality is your guys, If we tell everybody 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.480 to mask up for another year, a lot of people 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.840 just aren't going to do it. And if we're telling 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:01.880 people they have to keep doing all the same things 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.960 they're doing even after vaccination. All of this is based 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:12.560 on risk profile, risk mitigation, balancing different things. Out Right, 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.120 we could say, if you wanted to save a whole 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.120 lot of lives from COVID nineteen, you cannot leave your 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.840 home for a year. Sorry, food will have to be 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:22.800 delivered to you by somebody else. You're not allowed to 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.000 leave your home. But that's too extreme, even though it 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.000 would save live No question, that would save lives from 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.200 COVID nineteen, it's too extreme. People won't do it. It's 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.760 not okay, it's not worth it. Now we're at a 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:39.600 point where, let's remember, lockdowns until vaccine at the start 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.680 of this was considered insane. Now we have public health 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.960 officials who are telling us that masking and mitigation and 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:52.240 maybe some lockdown, some social distancing mandates are necessary post 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.280 vaccination for individuals. I mean, look at how much this 0:16:55.440 --> 0:17:00.560 moves over time. Here's the CDC on December twenty third, 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.200 Until every person in the US can get a COVID 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.760 nineteen vaccine, continue to wear a mask, keep at least 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.680 six feet between yourself and others, avoid crowds, and wash 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.679 your hands often, learn more about who can get vaccinate 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:14.920 and well supplies limited. Yeah, they're still doing the wash 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.560 your hands thing, by the way. Yeah, that's that's really 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.719 gonna that's gonna save us. That's gonna make a big difference. 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.640 That was great. That was in December. But the point 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.280 is they've been advocating for this for a while that 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.760 until everybody is vaccinated, you've got to do all the 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:34.000 things you've been doing all along. This is madness. And 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.280 if you're wondering, and I found this to be a 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:41.639 particularly interesting study. Over the weekend, people were sharing this 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:50.240 thing saying that that masking works. Study CDC report that 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.840 mask mandates lower COVID cases. So it works, that's what 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:58.280 we're told. I actually read the study. I actually pulled 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.040 from the study for you. Here is fascinating. Here's what 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.560 it says. This is the latest CDC study that they 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:07.280 put out. CDC report on mask mandates. During March first 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:12.920 to December thirty one, twenty twenty, state issued mask mandates 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:17.040 applied in seventy three percent of three thousand, one hundred 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:21.000 and forty two US counties mask mandates were associated with 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:26.080 a point five percentage decrease in daily COVID cases one 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:30.280 to twenty days after implementation, and decreases of one percent, 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:33.719 one point five, one point seven, and one point eight 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.080 percent twenty to forty, forty one to sixty, sixty one 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:41.959 to eighty, and eighty to one hundred days, respectively. Friends, 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:48.639 they're telling you here that mask mandates are basically bringing 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:53.160 down COVID cases over a period of months one percent. 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:57.160 But understand that that one percent is when the margin 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.560 of error for the study, so it could be zero. 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:03.919 That's how effective they are. Now Now I want us 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.439 alved me very clear about this. Were you told at 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:11.399 the beginning that your mask wearing might have a roughly 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:14.200 one percent effect on the reduced rand? How long have 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:16.719 I been saying it's about how effective this is more 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:20.480 than whether it's effective, because making us go through this absurdity. 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.560 When you add into it the changes in behavior as 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:26.360 well that come from mask wearing. People think they're pretty protected, 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:29.439 and then they are much closer to each other, more 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.320 willing to be around each other than they probably would 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.520 be otherwise, thinking that these masks are doing a great 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:39.840 job of protecting them. I will never forget that imbecile 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:44.560 Redfield that ran the CDC. The quote was, this is 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:48.320 back in September. More guaranteed a mask is more guaranteed 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:51.480 to protect me against COVID nineteen than when I take 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.360 a vaccine. That's what CDC director Redfield said in September. 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.359 And now we're seeing that mask mandates have about a 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:02.240 one percent effectiveness in actually the one percent. Friends, so 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:04.520 we all wear masks. What this is telling you is 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:06.399 that you know we're all wearing masks under ammand it. 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:07.800 Now I know they're going to say, oh but Buck, 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:12.119 it's not perfect implementation of the matt Well, okay, but 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.280 we're all wearing more masks. Shouldn't we see a substantial drop? 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:17.800 Why are we wasting our time with this idiocy if 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.000 it's only one percent? Oh no, one percent is effective 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:24.560 if it saves one life. Friends, that's what we're back to. 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:26.920 I don't want to know why this makes me laugh 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:30.560 so hard. But he did say neander Neanderthal, thinking not 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:33.520 you're all Neanderthals, which she owned. She can ditch the 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:35.800 present tense because, as you mentioned, they are extinct. And 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.160 she's also someone that's been very vocal about denying evolution. 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:42.280 So I found it fitting that she used that. But 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:44.639 I just feel like that this is an example. It 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:46.800 shows there's not much to pick on. If this is 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:48.840 the words we're parsing. They spend a lot of time 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.560 talking about how old Biden is. Well, you're going to 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:55.320 get words like slacks and ornery and neanderthal. It's kind 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:59.560 of an uncivilized choice to not wear a mask when 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.800 the science speaks loud and clear. And I think that 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.080 it's you know again, as Sunny mentioned on the heels 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.560 of someone who could offend you know people four times 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:11.359 in a sentence, picking on an extinct Homo sapien seems 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:14.040 like pretty safe ground for me as someone who has 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:20.080 two percent Neanderthal. I represent my community. I'm not offended. Yeah, Like, 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.200 let's have people on the view talk about the science 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.240 and like the science speaks like really clearly on all 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:31.200 this stuff. Yeah, so clearly that a year ago the 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:38.400 scientific community, as as evidence by doctor Fauci himself, had 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:41.359 a completely different view. But but we've we've been told 0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:45.680 except the one eighty switch in viewpoint and do so 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:51.280 because the science says so, even though no, sorry, this 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:55.200 is a very straightforward thing if you believe the Earth 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:57.440 is flat a year ago, and now you're telling me 0:21:57.520 --> 0:21:59.440 the Earth is round, I want to know why you've 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:04.200 changed you're thinking. I'm not just gonna say, hmm, you 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:07.399 must have switched it around because the science speaks to you. No, 0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:09.439 explain to me why you change your thinking. Because if 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:11.800 you were that wrong a year ago, shouldn't it matter 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:15.520 as to whether I believe you now shouldn't shouldn't it 0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:16.760 make it different? Or if you thought the world was 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:18.640 round and now you think it's flat. Whatever. The point 0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:23.600 is a one eighty switch on something so fundamental, so straightforward. 0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:28.040 But now this has become such a giant virtue signaling 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:32.480 opportunity for people double mask. I mean I know that 0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:34.640 people now that are saying things like if it only 0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:36.880 works one This is what the news reports are trying 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:39.320 to say for the weekend. A one percent reduction, which 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:42.040 is effectively zero by the way, because of mass. It's 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:43.960 effectively zero because it's within the margin of error. You 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:46.680 don't even know, so the science doesn't even say that 0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:50.120
