1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: And I just want you to know about these shutdowns 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: that are happening around the country. Reminder, here, not one 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: politician has missed a single paycheck during COVID nineteen. Find 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: me one. Find me a politician who was dictating all 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: of these new rules on Americans that has actually missed 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: a single paycheck during COVID and during these lockdowns. You 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: have significant lockdowns coming right now. And one of the 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: reasons why this is happening is because they don't want 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: you to be focusing on the Alder the other issues 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: that are happening right They don't want you to be 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: focusing on Eric Squalwell, the fact this guy's the Intel 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: Committee and compromised by the communist Chinese. They don't want 13 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: you to be focusing on what's going on with Hunter Biden. 14 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy actually came out on Fox News Channel talking 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: about this, and he said, after he was brief by 16 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: the FBI on how compromise Representive Squalwell, who is a 17 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: Democrat who is being defended by Nancy Pelosi, she knew 18 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: all about him sleeping with a spy for years and 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: putting people in his office that were other spies from 20 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: this woman that he shouldn't be on the Intel Committee. 21 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: Yet there he is. But don't worry. We're really trying 22 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: to save your life during COVID with this rescue bill, 23 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: this package, we're going to spend almost a trillion of 24 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: year dollars to send out quote free money. Now, this 25 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: is all nothing but a distraction at this point from 26 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: the real stories here, which is China, which is Swalwell, 27 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: which is Hunter Biden. Take a listen to what Kevin 28 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: McCarthy had to say earlier. Well, you're right. That Friday, 29 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: we finally got our FBI briefing. It was just the speaker, 30 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosian, myself. It was a very thorough briefing. No 31 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: one that was in that room could walk out and 32 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: say Eric Swalwell should be on the Intel Committee. I 33 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: don't know they had a briefing before in twenty fifteen, 34 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: and I don't know what that briefing was like compared 35 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: to this one, but it could not have been the same. 36 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: The one answer that I got out of that briefing 37 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: was there is no way Eric Swalwell should continue to 38 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: serve on the Intel Committee. And the challenge here is 39 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: the leader of both parties are the only people who 40 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: select to go on the Intel Committee. That is why today, Maria, 41 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: what I'm going to request that every single member on 42 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: the House Intelligence Committee gets the exact same briefing from 43 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: the FBI that I did, because if this individual is 44 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: sitting on this committee, Eric Swalwell, they've got to know 45 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: the background of what has gone on. Now, don't worry, 46 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: we're not going to talk about this in the mainstream 47 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: media because we've got bigger issues. We've got a big 48 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: government stimulus. It's going to come fix all of your problems. 49 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: That stimulus. It was needed months ago that the Democrats 50 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: purposely delayed. That's how much they really don't care about you, right. 51 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: It was delayed months ago, and the reason why it 52 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: was delayed months ago is because it was bad politics 53 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: at the moment for them. They were afraid you would 54 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: get a check, you would give credit to Donald Trump, 55 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: they wouldn't win the election. So they decided to purposely 56 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: hurt businesses, small business owners, and everybody else involved for 57 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: months when they knew that this money needed months ago 58 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: to help people, and they said, no, we're gonna wait 59 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: till after the election. Will roll the dice. We're gonna 60 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: roll the dice and wait because we want the check 61 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: to come really close to January the twentieth. We want 62 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: this check to the American people in these small business 63 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: loans to come close to January the twentieth so that 64 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: we can claim credit for it, not Donald Trump. It's 65 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: too risky this close to the election. Way too risky, 66 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: this close to the election to actually send money and 67 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: help and aid to business owners and small business owners. 68 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: Way too risky. We can't do it. What's wrong with 69 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: you people? Right? How could you possibly think that this 70 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: is a good idea? So the Democrats played politics. Well, 71 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: now they've got bigger problems. They've got Hunter Biden, they've 72 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: got Eric Swalwell. So let's now throw it all together 73 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: right before Christmas. Let's do the deal we should have 74 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: done in theory months ago, and then this will all 75 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: just disappear from the headlines. And so far it has worked. 76 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: Now let me tell you what's actually in this bill. 77 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: See you understand what you were paying for because the 78 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: media acts like this is like fictitious money. It's not. 79 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: It's real money. And who's going to pay for it? 80 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: As you your tax dollars are gonna pay for this now. 81 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: Help leaders have announced they reached a nine hundred billion dollars, 82 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: almost a trillion dollars COVID relief deal. You're supposed to 83 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: jump up and down. They say it's going to give 84 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: you much. Any of the relief for small businesses, on 85 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: input Americans, healthcare workers, vaccine distribution. Some of these things 86 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 1: are legit. So what's actually in it? The legislation will include, 87 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: they say, direct payments of up six hundred dollars per 88 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: adult and child. That's good news. People need help right now. 89 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: Aid for struggling small businesses by providing two hundred and 90 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: eighty four billion for forgive all paycheck protection program, loans 91 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: twenty five billion, and rental assistance and an extension of 92 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: the eviction moratorium, as well as eighty two billion for 93 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: education providers like schools and colleges to help preopen classrooms safely. 94 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: Eighty two billion just disappeared for that. Meanwhile, what are 95 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: they actually doing? They're shutting us down everywhere, which goes 96 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: back to the opening comment that I made to you. 97 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,679 Speaker 1: Not one politician in this country has missed a single 98 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: paycheck during COVID. Why is that? Why is it they're 99 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: coming in shutting down your businesses? But allowing other businesses 100 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: to stay open. New York restaurants have had enough, by 101 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: the way, and many of those restaurants that are shutting 102 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: down will never open again. People that invested everything have 103 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: also lost everything, and they're never going to get it back. 104 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: Many of these restaurant owners are actually moving out of 105 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: state because they've realized that they cannot reinvest. They would 106 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: be stupid to reinvest in an area, right, They would 107 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: be stupid to reinvest in an area to try to 108 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: make this do this again, knowing that they can shut 109 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: you down again, knowing that they can completely take away 110 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: your livelihood at a moment's notice. And many of the 111 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,679 Speaker 1: people doing this aren't even elected officials. Or elected officials 112 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: are saying, I'm gonna do it no matter what, and 113 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do to stop me. So get 114 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: ready for this. Now New York City, and this is 115 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: a liberal state, a very liberal city. Even the restaurant 116 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: owners there have said, all right, we've had enough. They're 117 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: now going joining together saying no more. For Mayor to 118 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: Blasio and Governor Cuomo. When I say no more, what 119 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: does that mean? New York City restaurants, some prominent ones 120 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: are now calling to ban the governor and the mayor 121 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: from eating in their establishments indefinitely. These decisions to ban 122 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo come after he banned in or dining for 123 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: a second time, leaving restaurants crippled during the holiday season 124 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: when they desperately need the money. Don't worry during a blizzard, 125 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,119 Speaker 1: he said, you can still eat outside, and some people 126 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: actually did it, just showing how absurd it is that 127 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: you can eat outside during a pandemic, in a blizzard 128 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: and not supposed to sustain your business, which it wouldn't. 129 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: The indoor ban is the second of the year, with 130 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: at least half of the state's restaurants in danger of closing. 131 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: Temperatures plunging snowstorms are in the area. Hey, but you 132 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: can eat outside, it's cool. Restaurants are furious with Cuomo's 133 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: latest decision because only one point three percent of coronavirus 134 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: cases have originated from eateries over the last three months. 135 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: The science shows the majority of people that are getting 136 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: sick are not getting sick in a restaurant. They're getting 137 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: sick hanging out with their families, which brings us back 138 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: to shutdowns that we're having all over the country. Why 139 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: are we shutting down restaurants. The science doesn't make sense. 140 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: But first, if you want to help the people in 141 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: Georgia with what's going on there with a Senate election, 142 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: then you need to join AIMAC, the number one conservative 143 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: organization the country for free.

If they're able to win in Georgia, 151 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: it is over.

The 164 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,479 Speaker 1: question everybody should be asking themselves is why are politicians 165 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: picking on restaurants nationwide? We are saying that restaurants are 166 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: not the superspreaders that anybody would imply. The superspreaders are. 167 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: Actually families hang out with families, friends hang out with friends, 168 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: and there's a fall sense of security with COVID nineteen 169 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: that you can lower your mask, lower your guard because 170 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: you are around family and or friends. It also makes 171 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: sense you trust these people. And when you trust these people, 172 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: many people believe well, I trust them, right, I trust you, 173 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: And if I trust you, then I'm going to take 174 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: my mask off because I don't feel like you're going 175 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: to infect me mom or dad, or aunt, uncle, cousin, 176 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: or neighbor or best friend. What we're seeing is through 177 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: contact tracing. Overwhelmingly, the transmission of COVID nineteen is not 178 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: happening to you by a stranger. That's where you have 179 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: your guard up. That's where you're wearing your mask the most. 180 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: It's actually happening with your friends and your family when 181 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: you put your guard down. We also know nationwide that 182 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: of all the transmission we've seen from contact tracing, where 183 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: people are not getting COVID nineteen Okay, where they're not 184 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: getting it is in restaurants, restaurants socially distancing the tables, 185 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: people wearing their mask until they start eating or until 186 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: they are seated drinking. This is not the problem we're seeing. 187 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: On average, based on whose numbers you look at, between 188 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: one to one and a half percent of all COVID 189 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: transmissions are coming from restaurants and bars. The point is, 190 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: it is insane to be shutting down the bars and restaurants. 191 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: In fact, grocery stores, Walmart, places like that are having 192 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: a higher transmission rate. Of course, they say, well, those 193 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: are deemed essential. And you, as an American, if you 194 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: own a business that we decided is somehow arbitrarily non essential, 195 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: have to shut down. Why do you think all this 196 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: is happening right now? Somebody answer me that question, please. 197 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: It's because Democrats seem to distraction. That's exactly why they're 198 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: trying to destroy this economy and destroy your businesses. I 199 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: would argue now on purpose, because that's how they gain 200 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: the ultimate power. If you are weak, they are strong. 201 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: If you are poor, they are rich. If you are 202 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: a need, they have power. And this is all about 203 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: power power. This is a power grab, has been since 204 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: day one. Why do you think these liberal cities keep 205 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 1: shutting things down and these shutdowns work based on statistics? 206 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: The answer is overwhelmingly no. Let's go to the UK, 207 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: look at Europe. They had shutdowns in October of restaurants 208 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: and these these total shutdowns of lockdowns, staying home orders, 209 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: and they said, if we do it now, folks, it's 210 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: going to be okay because if we do it now, 211 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: then you can have Christmas with your family. Guess what, 212 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: They're not having Christmas with their families. That's right, they're 213 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 1: not having Christmas with their families. And you want to 214 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: know why, because the lockdowns don't work. Because people continue 215 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: to put down, to take down their masks, to lower 216 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: their guard or on their family and friends because they 217 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: feel like they are safer. It's not accurate, it's not truthful, 218 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: it's not authentic. The numbers show the restaurants are not 219 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: the problem. Say it again. The restaurants clearly show that 220 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: it's not the problem, but they're gonna shut down everybody. Again. 221 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: What the what these restaurants are doing in New York 222 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: is right? The stats, the facts, the science say that 223 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: one point three percent of coronavirus cases originated from eateries 224 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: over the last three months in New York is One 225 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: restaurant owner put it, this is insane. They're basically shutting 226 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: down an industry and throwing thousands of people out of 227 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: work because restaurants were linked to one point four percent 228 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: of all the cases, she said. One business owner said 229 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: it's criminal. Restaurant operators saying we can only take so 230 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: much pain, and we've already hit that threshold. Other restaurant 231 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: owners saying, I can't shut down, I'll lose everything. The 232 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: idea that these shutdowns are gonna last only a two 233 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: week period is also alive, because we know with the 234 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: numbers rising that in two weeks the numbers are not 235 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: going to go down. So they're selling you this over Christmas. Oh, 236 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: We're just gonna lock down for two weeks, just over 237 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: Christmas and thinks in New Year's right, it's gonna be fine. 238 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: They're gonna extend all of these orders nationwide, wherever they 239 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: put them in, it doesn't matter where you live. It's 240 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: impossible that this is going to be fixed in a 241 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: two week period. We also know because we've also tried 242 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: it before and a two week period didn't work. So 243 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: when they put these lockdowns to the people and they say, oh, 244 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: it's just gonna be two weeks and we'll reevaluate, they're 245 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: full of crap. It's gonna be much longer than two weeks, folks. 246 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: Anyone tells you that it's not going to be two weeks, there, 247 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, there's scumbags. They're not telling you the truth. 248 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: They're lying to you. It is going to be much 249 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: longer than two weeks. And everybody knows it's gonna be 250 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: much longer than two weeks. This is going to be 251 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: a shutdown through virtually all of January, and everybody knows it. 252 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: And anyone that tells you anything differently, they're not. They 253 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: don't care about you. And the majority of the people 254 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: making these decisions on these shutdowns are not elected officials, 255 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: which is another one of the huge problems that needs 256 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: to be fixed by the legislature. The legislature needs to 257 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: fix this and they need to fix it quickly. They 258 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: need to take away the power of these non elected 259 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: individuals to ruin your life and everything that you've built 260 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: and everything that you've tried to do. But remember this 261 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: is also a great way for them to gain an 262 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: incredible amount of power, an ungodly amount of power. When 263 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: you are weak, they are strong. When you are poor, 264 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: they are rich. And referring to socialist governments. And if 265 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: you don't think this is about doing exactly that, making 266 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: you weak and them extremely strong, you are not paying 267 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: attention to what's actually happening. You need to wake up. 268 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: This is about exactly that. This is about them being 269 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: weak and them being strong and you being week. You 270 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: need them if you can't if you don't have a job, 271 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: if you don't have a paycheck, you need them. You 272 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: definitely need them if you can't pay your bills. And 273 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: they know it. They're not stupid, they're smart. They're not idiots, 274 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: they're intelligent. You put so many people out of work 275 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: when you shut down restaurants. You're decimating communities and industries 276 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: and small business owners. Everybody knows it. Everybody knows it. 277 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: It's exactly why these people in New York are saying 278 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: enough already, this is insane, a woman said of a 279 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: founder of Tampa's chain. But query in New York City, 280 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: restaurant operators will only take so much pain. We're not 281 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: going to do it anymore. Another diner outside of Albany 282 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: said quote, he can eat at some blank roadside diner elsewhere. 283 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: He's not eaten here. He will not be served anywhere 284 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: in New York, referring to the governor New York City. 285 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: If he has to use the restaurant, you can go 286 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: pee on the street corner, another bar owner said in 287 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: his blog. Members of a Facebook group called NYC Restaurant Open, 288 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: which are mainly restaurant bar owners in the city support, 289 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: are saying this support for banning restaurants absurd. In fact, 290 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: they only support banning Cuomo from dining. He should be 291 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: banned from every restaurant, bar, etc. He's a blinking scumbag 292 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: Cuomo into Blasio, One other group member said, And he's right. 293 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: I go back to the other point. I made a 294 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: moment ago, and I want you to think about this. 295 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: Not one politician has missed a single paycheck during COVID nineteen, 296 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: and this relief bill that they've just decided to do that, 297 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay for and there's gonna be 298 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: a lot of money that's gonna be rated. Some money's 299 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: gonna be used the appropriate way, but there's a lot 300 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: of pork in this trillion, almost trillion dollars bill is 301 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: going to be used the excuse to shut you down. 302 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: That's what it is, an excuse to shut down this country. 303 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: They're gonna say, look, guys, we just sent you some money. 304 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: You should be happy. Now we're gonna protect you by 305 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: ruining your life. Now we're gonna protect you by shutting 306 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: down your business. Small businesses that are dying right now. 307 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: They're gonna say, hold on, guys, calm down right, relax, 308 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: chill out for a second. Relax, it's gonna be okay. 309 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna send you some small business relief. You're gonna 310 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: be okay. Everything's gonna be okay. We're gonna send you 311 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: some money. If there's any time for us to rise 312 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: up and defend our businesses, it's now, folks, especially these restaurants. 313 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 1: This is not a decision based in science. This is 314 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: an arbitrary decision that's stupid. And I'll leave it at that.
