1
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: You are entering the Freedom Hunt. Preparations underway for what

2
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: is believed to be a pandemic that will hit in

3
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: the next two weeks. We'll get into everything that's going on,

4
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: including whether or not the primary will actually happen for

5
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: the Democrats today in Ohio, a couple of other states

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: in the mix as well, and also whatever happened to

7
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: the federal government's case from the DOJ against the Russian

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: troll farms. I've gonna update for you on that and

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: much more coming up. This is the buck Sexton Show,

10
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American. Ready here

12
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: a great American Again, The buck Sexton Show begins. Analyston,

13
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: it seems to me that if we do a really

14
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: good job, will not only hold the death down to

15
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: a level that is much lower than the other way

16
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: had we not done a good job. But people are

17
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: talking about July August something like that, So it could

18
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: be right in that period of time where I say

19
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: wash it washes through. Other people don't like that term,

20
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: but word washes through the resist a new normal until

21
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: I do. And so we'll see what happens. But they

22
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: think August could be July could be longer than that.

23
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: But I've asked that question many many times. Even two

24
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: weeks miraculously, everything is fine. I'll reopen every school in

25
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: New York in two weeks. Well, that's what we're planning.

26
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: We will have specific guidelines that we announced this afternoon.

27
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: Welcome the Buck Saxon Show. Everybody continuing with our freedom

28
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: hunt in the time of the coronavirus wuhan virus pandemic,

29
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: trying to get a sense of how long this is

30
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: going to last, what preparations we should make. As I've

31
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: been saying, I'm giving it the fifteen days that the

32
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: CDC is asking for. And you had really I think

33
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: in that and those two sound bites, one was of

34
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: course Donald Trump, the other was the governor of New York,

35
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo, the full scope of what we're realistically facing.

36
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: It could be that within a couple of weeks it

37
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: seems like this is largely under control, though he did

38
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: describe that as a miracle. It could also be that

39
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: we are making these provisions, that we're taking all these

40
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: very drastic, very radical steps all the way into the summer.

41
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: I had been thinking June the President said July. If

42
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: we do a good job, nobody really knows. At this point.

43
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: Everybody is very, very concerned, and as we enter this

44
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: phase where we're really going to be dealing with this,

45
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: we all find ourselves thinking about what's going to come next.

46
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: Never before in the modern history of the United States,

47
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: where when we've had a post World War two modern economy,

48
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: have we dealt with anything like this. We've never had

49
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: a situation where we voluntarily decide to just stop doing

50
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: a whole lot of stuff, stop making things, stop opening stores.

51
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: Economic activity and economics is really just a system for

52
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: human decision making in the commercials, in the commercial realm.

53
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: That's what economic That's what economics are. It is activity

54
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: by definition, right, you do not have inactivity as something

55
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: that everyone's concerned with. So we're entering a phase here.

56
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm like anything else we've ever seen before, and it's

57
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: stuff out there. I mean, I'm coming to you from

58
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: New York City. I know a lot of you are

59
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: in places around the country where there are far fewer

60
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: or in some cases maybe your county has zero cases

61
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: of this so far. So I'm bringing you the perspective

62
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: of somebody who's in the place that is expected to

63
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: be in aggregate numbers hit the hardest and have perhaps

64
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: the greatest disruption of day to day life. So just

65
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: remember that as we're going through this. You know, sometimes

66
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: different areas of the country talk about disaster preparedness, and

67
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: if they're places that are frequently hit by hurricanes or

68
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: if they're places that are often subject to tornadoes, they

69
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: have a very different view on this on that than

70
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: people that have never dealt with right, earthquakes in California

71
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: have a very different residence than earthquakes in Maine. I

72
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think Maine's been hit by a

73
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: bad earthquake in a long time. It could be wrong.

74
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: So we have a bunch of things to get to today,

75
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: including why the CDC failed us in the early phase

76
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: of this because you know, all the testing, all the

77
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: testing delays. You know what that was. Federal bureaucracy and

78
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: regulations tell you about that. Also, the DOJ decided the

79
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: Muller team, the prosecutors from the DOJ assigned to the

80
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: Muller team, they decided to dump during the noise, I

81
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: call it the whole case of Russian troll farmers. Remember

82
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: they were going to bring this federal indictment, and then

83
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: Russian Council actually showed up, which surprised them because this

84
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: was the whole interference in the election, the huge scheme

85
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: by the Russians and over a dozen indictments I think

86
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: it was of Russians who were involved in this in Russia.

87
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: They just dropped the whole thing right now. Does anyone

88
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: think that that was an accident? Does anyone think that

89
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: they dropped this for any reason right now other than

90
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: they know that no one's really going to care. We'll

91
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: spend a bit of time on that. And then also

92
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: you have Tom Brady top of the Drudge Report right now,

93
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: big story. Tom Brady is not going to go back

94
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: to Patriots, He's gonna go play for someone else. This

95
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: is just all of us, and I get this. This

96
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: is all of us, and producer Mark and can weigh

97
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: in on the reality. This is somebody who knows more

98
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: about Tom Brady than me. We just want some story

99
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: to talk about because we don't have sports now, and

100
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: we can't go to movies, and we can't go to parties,

101
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: and we can't go to Disney World and we can't

102
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: so we just want something else to talk about. And

103
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: so this Tom Brady decision that would usually be a

104
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: mostly ESPN story or you know, the sports network, sports

105
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: networks out there, it's getting a lot more focused than

106
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: it usually would because just something other than Corona and

107
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: chew that in my friends. I want to do a

108
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: good job here of balancing out how much we talk

109
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: about coronavirus, wuhan virus. I'm sorry, see it's I've heard

110
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: so much coronavirus that now it just it seeps into

111
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: my mind. But I want to make sure that we

112
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: discuss other things too. I want to tell you everything

113
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: you need to know about this at the federal level,

114
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: from government action where I think this is all heading

115
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: and that's necessary at this point. But also I know

116
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: you guys are my lifeline. You are the people that

117
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: you are my end run on social distancing. I don't

118
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: keep my distance from any of you. I get to

119
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: talk to all of you every day, So that really

120
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: is more meaningful in some ways now than it's ever

121
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: been before. I don't see anybody else. I don't see

122
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: my family, I don't see my friends. I do have

123
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: my parents French bulldog with me to Lula, who is

124
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: very cute but very French, she's very stubborn. It's not

125
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: always easy to deal with. She makes demands. But that's it.

126
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean, here in New York City, we're being told

127
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: essentially that we should act as if we're all in quarantine.

128
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: We should act as if we have come into contact

129
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: with this, even if we have no specific reason to

130
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: think that that has happened. And so that is really

131
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: changing the city pretty dramatically. I called a couple of

132
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: restaurants last night because I wanted to do what I

133
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: had said I was, or at least I've said it.

134
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: I think I said it on on wo R. I

135
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: called a couple of restaurants last night and wanted to

136
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: get am. I wanted to get a gift certificate so

137
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: that I could tell them, Hey, guys, I'm gonna get

138
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, here's here's some money. Now, here's one hundred buck,

139
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: one hundred fifty bucks, whatever it is, and I'm not

140
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: going to use this again. And I'm not going to

141
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: use this rather until at least July, maybe September. But

142
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: smaller places, you know, the corporate places, may be able

143
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: to hold out of it longer. You know, I think

144
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: I don't think Chipotle is going out of business anytime soon, right,

145
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: But places that are sole proprietors sole proprietorships, where they're

146
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: owned by one person or by a family, those places

147
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: have very high rents. Here in New York, I try

148
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: to call some last night already closed, not even staying

149
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: open for this because if they don't have a robust

150
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: delivery business, it's very hard to very hard to weather

151
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: this store. And you know, there's there's also this this

152
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: back and forth that you're going to see between wonderful,

153
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: kind inspiring stories. You know that right now there's all

154
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: this circulating on social media of people who are in Italy,

155
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: in Rome, in Milan, and people are out on their

156
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: balconies because in Italy this is very I'm sure if

157
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: you've never been, you or if you've ever been, you

158
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. And they're singing. Whole neighborhoods

159
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: are going out to their windows and singing together. And

160
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: this is this is the heartwarming. This makes you feel like, Okay,

161
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna be all right. But then there's the other

162
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: side of this too. Right now, we're already seeing the

163
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: panic buying. We're seeing people hoarding. People are hoarding in

164
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: ninety five masks. They're hoarding toilet paper, red meat, pasta,

165
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: other things, eggs. These are things that people are terrified

166
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: they're not going to have. And what happens if we

167
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: do start to have real economic dislocation from this? What happened?

168
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we're already gonna stuffer pain, but I mean

169
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: in our food supply, what happens if all of a sudden,

170
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: we're not now farmers say they're going to work, and

171
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: God bless our farmers. They're not shutting down for coronavirus

172
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: no matter what. But in the delivery system, especially for

173
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: very crowded urban areas, is a more precarious thing than

174
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people realize it. You know, most major

175
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: grocery stores can get a series of deliveries throughout the day,

176
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: and that's how they stay That's how those shelves stay stocked,

177
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: and that's how you've got the stuff you want. If

178
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: we have enough of a problem here and the quarantine

179
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: becomes stringent enough and people need to stay home to

180
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: take care of their kids, you know what happens if

181
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: our truck drivers have got to stay home because you know,

182
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: they've got kids, or they got a family member they're

183
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: worried about. They've got things they've got to do too.

184
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: We don't know how this is going to out in

185
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: that regard, so look, I'm not gloom and do them here, folks.

186
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: We're gonna be our I team. We're gonna get through

187
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: it every day. I got to say that. It's important

188
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: for me to be able to say it, for me

189
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: to hear myself saying it. But also I think it's

190
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: important that we've keep that in mind as we look

191
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: at all the different policies and everything that's going on

192
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: right now. This is the most uncertain moment in some ways,

193
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: at least in terms of the disease spread. This is

194
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: where we have to just sit and wait. It reminds

195
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: me a little bit about how there's going to be.

196
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: You know, there's going to be some days ahead that

197
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: are like the first days of a battle. That's what

198
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: it's going to feel like, because there's going to be

199
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: numbers that come in assuming that the projections are correct.

200
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I know the New York projections very well

201
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: because it's really done being done state by state, and

202
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 1: you're also seeing states have a larger role in this.

203
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: You know, states got involved after nine to eleven with

204
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: counter terrorism fusion centers, and on this on quarantine. State

205
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: and local governments are very much on the front line

206
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: and doing things that matter. Whether they're good things or

207
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: bad things, they're doing things that really do affect your life.

208
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: And that's why so I'm focused on New York because

209
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: I'm in New York. I'm also seeing what's going on

210
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: in other states as much as I can. But here

211
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: they're seeing about a twenty percent hospitalization rate, about twenty

212
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: percent of the people that have been confirmed to have coronavirus.

213
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean that twenty percent of people are

214
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: going to get hospitalized, but twenty percent of the people

215
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: who took a test because they had the symptoms that

216
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: made them think they have coronavirus, which is probably a

217
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: small fraction of those who actually have wuhun virus sorry,

218
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: actually gotten this. But if you have a twenty percent

219
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: hospitalization rate, just based on the established infection number and

220
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: the rate that it's going up right now, there are

221
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: very real concerns that you're just going to have people

222
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: that are going to emergency rooms and they just don't

223
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: have They literally physically do not have the ventilators necessary

224
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: to keep these people alive. That's the nightmare scenario. That's

225
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: what they keep talking about, flattening out the curve. And

226
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: we're all becoming familiar with this verbiage now. Things we've

227
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: never even heard of before, flattening out the curve being

228
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: one of them. We all know more about disease than

229
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: I think we've ever known before. I read about it

230
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: every day, every night, you know, I'm reading books on it,

231
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm reading news articles. You know, feverishly probably the wrong

232
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: word to use, but furiously, there we go. But we're

233
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: all trying to figure out as much as we can

234
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: about how this is going to play out. Trump yesterday

235
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: said it was bad those of you, and I respect that.

236
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: You know, we have different opinions on a whole host

237
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: of things. But those of you who last week were

238
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: writing me to say, Buck, it's not going to be

239
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: that big a deal. I hope you're right. You could

240
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: be right, but we can't take the risk of not

241
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: thinking it's a big deal for at least the next

242
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: couple of weeks because the way that this played out

243
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: in Italy is something we have to avoid here because

244
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: it'll play out on a much larger We have a

245
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: population that's five times plus the size of Italy. It'll

246
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: play out on a scale here that will be jaw

247
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: dropping and horrifying. So I'm willing to sacrifice two weeks

248
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: of economic activities that we don't have fifty thousand dead

249
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: in a month from this disease. I think that that's,

250
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: by the way, we're going to start having some very

251
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: difficult societal conversation, social converse, you know, greater society conversations

252
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: about what really the trade offs that we're willing to

253
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: make are. No one's going there quite yet, but we

254
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: do lose. And I know everyone yells at everyone for

255
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: bringing up the flu, but just that's our experience with

256
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: what is really seasonal and endemic disease, endemic within the people,

257
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: disease that keeps popping up in the same population. Right,

258
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: Pandemic all the people, epidemic on the people. All important

259
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: things to know these days. All come from ancient Greece.

260
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: Why from ancient grease, Well, Hippocrates was the first one

261
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: who wrote about what we think was either a flu

262
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: or it might have been typhoid, can't really tell, or

263
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: a combination of both. But that's when we first had

264
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: these terms pandemic and epidemic, so it stretches back to

265
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: I think the fourth or fifth century BC. So, my friends,

266
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: we are going to work through all this again together today,

267
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: as we always do. It is an honor that you

268
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: come to me at this time, give me your time,

269
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: lend me your ears. I do appreciate it. You are

270
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: you are my social life. You know, there's all this

271
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: social distancing right now. Team Buck, you guys are in

272
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: for me. I mean, I can call people and FaceTime people,

273
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: but this actually gives me the feeling of connection to

274
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: the people in this country, to my fellow Americans that

275
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: I care about. So that's one thing that I'm deeply

276
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: grateful for. And as you can see, we're all set up.

277
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: So as long as as long as the internet and

278
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: the electricity stays on, this show stays on. So we're

279
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: gonna be good to go. I'm going to go through

280
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: some of what was said in a press conference this

281
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: morning by the President as well as a press conference

282
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: by Cuomo that I thought was pretty good, and we'll

283
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: get into some other things. I'll tell you about this

284
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: Russian troll farm story, which I think is really really interesting.

285
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: Also why there's been a delay in testing so We've

286
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: got a jam packed show, no doubt about it, as

287
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: we always do. And I may although only you only

288
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: see this if you watch on Pluto TV channel two

289
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: forty eight. The first I may have a special guest

290
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: join me for roll call today. We'll see you might

291
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: you might be able to hear her little snorts and

292
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: her little sneezes because she does sneeze sometimes. But we'll

293
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: see about that. I've got plants. Stay with me. You're

294
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: in the Freedom hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

295
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: There will be no more gatherings of fifty plus people.

296
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: So if you were hoping to plan a graduation party,

297
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: you can't do it in the state of New York.

298
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: You can't go do it in the state of New Jersey,

299
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: and you can't do it in the state of Connecticut. Casinos,

300
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: we all have casinos. If I close my casinos, when

301
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: New Jersey keeps their casinos open, we're going to have

302
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: the same problem. All casinos will be closed effective eight

303
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: pm tonight and they will stay closed until further notice.

304
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: On all these closings, they are all till until further notice.

305
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: And hopefully I can coordinate with the other governors so

306
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: we can have the same opening period and just the

307
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: way we had the same closing period. Shutting down businesses,

308
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: shutting down gatherings. This is a usage of state power,

309
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: not big s state, but of the fifty states, the

310
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: likes of which I've never seen before, and I don't

311
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: know what really your modern analogous situation would be. They're

312
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: telling businesses that they just can't open, they're telling people

313
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: they can't come together. Freedom of assembly not so much.

314
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: There are going to be constitutional questions ahead, that is

315
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: for sure, especially if this drags out for months, which

316
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: most people expected. You. That doesn't mean it will happen.

317
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: But those are some of the extreme measures we're talking

318
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: about here. There are more extreme measures that are probably coming.

319
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the bus sets and show podcasts.

320
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app,

321
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. We need you right

322
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: now at the front, and the front is in the

323
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: places where the coronavirus epidemic is worse. On a personal note,

324
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: I want to ask you how you're coping. You went

325
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: to the gym yesterday and Twitter losses. Mind. I don't

326
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: get it, but we'll move on with our lives. The

327
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: gyms are all closed now, AlSi, yeah, I know that

328
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: gyms are closed. Is there any sense that you were

329
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: late personally to get your arms around what the sacrifices for? No,

330
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: everyone is have to make sacrifice. But as our Health

331
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: commissioner said yesterday, people still in new ways are going

332
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: to have to get exercise. Whatever scenario we're going to

333
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: tell people how to stay healthy. It may be a walk,

334
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: it may be a job, but obviously socially distanced until

335
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: and unless we get to the point of literally ordering

336
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: everyone indoors. So this is going in stages. Somehow people

337
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: are going to have to stay healthy insane through this,

338
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: and it's going to take a lot of improvisation, for sure. Yeah,

339
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: that's for sure. The gym in my building. I live

340
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: in a very large residential tower in New York City

341
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of them here. Gym and my

342
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: building is closed. I'm wondering if maybe I can sneak

343
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: in and borrow some free weights because I went on

344
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: to Amazon. Guess what you can't get on Amazon right

345
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: now at all? Free weights can't get them delivered to you.

346
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: Apparently other people have the same idea. I did get

347
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: a couple of barbells. If you've got a set of

348
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: decent barbells at home, you're pretty much good with YouTube.

349
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: Teach yourself some straightforward exercises, do some compounds, compound lifts

350
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: with dumbells, you're good to go. Can't get dumbells, though,

351
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: so I guess I'm gonna have to start doing some

352
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: at home yoga, homage to the sun, or I don't know,

353
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: I'll figure something out. Push ups, a lot of push

354
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: ups coming my way, I think. Or I'm just going

355
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: to order a lot of Chinese food until this whole

356
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: thing passes and not worry about the dad bod coming

357
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: on fast just in time for summer. But no, seriously,

358
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: there was there's there's going to be a change in

359
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: people's lifestyles and what they're used to that will require

360
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: quite a bit of adjustment. This is not something that

361
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: we've dealt with before. This is not something that anybody

362
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: has any experience with. And I know for a lot

363
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: of people there, they're daily whatever it is going even

364
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: if it's going to their local coffee shop, if it's

365
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: going to the gym every morning, if there's any number

366
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: of things, you know, going to their favorite diner. These

367
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: are habits that ground us, that bring us into a

368
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: sense of normalcy and routine. And these are very powerful

369
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: things psychologically. There's a lot of power on them. So

370
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to get ready for this. But you notice,

371
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: and you know, de Blasio of course got a little

372
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: bit of got a little bit of criticism there for well,

373
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: Deblasi got criticism for being de Blasio where he's like,

374
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: everybody can't go to the gym, but I'm gonna go

375
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: to the gym one last time because I like the ymca.

376
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: De Blasio's a he's a he's a two minutes on

377
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: the elliptical guy and then does lots of dynamic stretching.

378
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's how he rolls. So Deblasio, Oh, the

379
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: President is authorized the deformative three hundred billion dollars of

380
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: IRS payments. This is one thing I just saw this.

381
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: This is one thing that we buy the way need

382
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 1: to have happened, all right, the government if we all

383
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: are waiting to get paid and we all have to

384
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: worry about this, we the American people, the government can

385
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: say everybody gets another sixty days before their checks are

386
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: doing too the IRS, you know, just put it, just

387
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: put it on our twenty two trillion dollars tab for

388
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: now and then everybody can pay it off later. I mean,

389
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: I've been spending the last couple of weeks trying to

390
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: pull together my taxes because I'm in the media and

391
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: you know I do private contractor stuff and all over

392
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: the place, and I'm just like, this is ridiculous. This

393
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: is what I gotta be focused on right now. I

394
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: gotta send them a check every quarter as it is,

395
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: and now I have to worry about this deadline. It's absurd.

396
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: So hopefully that will work. By the way, the stimulus

397
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: plan they keep talking about stimulus, the only stimulus it's

398
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: going to have any effect is going to be the

399
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: stimulus of giving people money to get through the crisis.

400
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: You're going to see policy disputes arise here. There's some

401
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: of this is going to bring us all together and

402
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: some of this is going to pull us apart. There

403
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: will be policy disputes that are sharper than what we've

404
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: seen in a long time, because this is real. People

405
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: are going to be in danger of losing their homes

406
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: that they fall behind on their mortgage. I mean, how

407
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: many Americans, if especially if they work in the service

408
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: economy and they have no income coming in. How many

409
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: Americans can go six months without any income? Fifty percent

410
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: of Americans, according to the polls, would have trouble meeting

411
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: a five hundred dollar emergency obligation. I know, I've been

412
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: an American as an adult, working for years and years

413
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: who would have had trouble at least with cash in

414
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: the bank. I mean, yeah, I could have maybe put

415
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: it on a credit card or run up some kind

416
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: of a debt. But I know I've gone through life

417
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: paycheck to paycheck. I know what that's like. It's not fun,

418
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: it's not easy. And really, there are two kinds of

419
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: people in America in a lot of ways, those of

420
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: us who have lived paycheck to paycheck and understand what

421
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: that's like, understand those stresses. And as I always tell you,

422
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: there are people that know what it is to show

423
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 1: up to a job where they are not appreciated, where

424
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: no one really cares that they're there, where they could

425
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: be fired at a moment's notice, and they have to

426
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: make it work. And there are other people that just

427
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, get to do whatever they want

428
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: and mumsey and Daddy will take care of it, or

429
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: mumsey and Daddy's money. I mean there's a lot of

430
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: that with millennials too, trust me, well, there's a lot

431
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: of that with I guess every generation in different ways.

432
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: But the economic packages will talk about what they're trying

433
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: to do. One of the big concerns to the market,

434
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: and I mean the Dow went down with three thousand

435
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: points yesterday. A big concern to the market is that

436
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: the FED has done what it can do, and everyone thinks, oh, okay,

437
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: well the Fed. You know that the cavalry is here.

438
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: You know, the FED rides in and saves the day.

439
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: M It doesn't matter how cheap you make money if

440
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: people can't spend it because they can't go anywhere because

441
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: they can't do anything. It doesn't matter how much you

442
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: lower the borrowing cost. If people aren't borrowing because there's

443
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the money. If you gave it

444
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: to them, they don't want to do it. We have

445
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: stopped activity. Economics is activity. That is what this is

446
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: all about. We have essentially shut down the US economy.

447
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: Means short of hyperinflation or the you know, the destruction

448
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: of the US currency, which is a true nightmare scenario,

449
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: which by the way, is something people talk about as

450
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 1: a possibility. Short of that, I mean, this is one

451
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: of the scarier economic situations we could be in, where

452
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: people just aren't doing stuff. People aren't doing stuff, And

453
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: it also reminds me of how much we are all

454
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: at the end of this going to owe such a

455
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: debt of gratitude to the people who make and deliver

456
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: food the well we think of and we can never

457
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: give enough respect and love to cops, first responders, firemen.

458
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean, but everyone knows about their heroics. We don't

459
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: always appreciate it as much as we should. Everyone knows

460
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: what they're doing for us day to day, although we

461
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: do need to be reminded of that. But there are

462
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: other people here, you know, there are people who are

463
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: doing really really critical stuff to keep our lives from

464
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: feeling like quite honestly, they are in some state of

465
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: just complete disrepair and keep our lives from feeling like

466
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: they are they're falling apart. So I think that is

467
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: something that we should all remember too, that there are

468
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: people out there who are doing things for us that

469
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: are not getting you know, they're not getting the kind

470
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: of praise, the kind of kudos that many other folks

471
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: do and one example of this is I think this

472
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: guy was out in California, but this is true anywhere

473
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: across the country. And he he goes by the name Jester.

474
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's his real name. It's a

475
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: cool name. Obviously reminds me of the guy from Top Gun.

476
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: But here's what he wrote. And I won't you remember this,

477
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: because you know, I've got their people live in a

478
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: very large building in New York with hundreds and hundreds

479
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: of neighbors. We're all very closely packed in here. And

480
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: there are individuals who are showing up every day and

481
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: making sure that this building, you know, that the hot

482
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: water is on, that the electricity is what it should be,

483
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: that you know, there are people who are just making

484
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: sure those goods and services for home life support continue on.

485
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: And there are people who are picking up the trash

486
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: and making sure that some normalcy, and not just normalcy,

487
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: but things that we really need. I can imagine if,

488
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: if you know, if people just said, you know what,

489
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: it's not worth it. I don't care about my minimum

490
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: wage job bagging groceries anymore. I'm not gonna We're not

491
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: gonna keep the grocery store open. Sorry, now, now what

492
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: do we do. I'm gonna try to figure out how

493
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: to buy direct from If some of you can buy

494
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: direct from the farmer, you're probably you probably are the farmer,

495
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: or you're down the road from him. But a lot

496
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: of people in the major cities rely on rely on

497
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: stores to be able to get stuff for us, right.

498
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you see these empty shelves, and it does

499
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: bring some pretty scary thoughts to mind. What happens when

500
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: there's just not enough to go around. What happens when

501
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: all of a sudden the economics affect our ability to

502
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: get what we need to get day to day. So

503
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: this is this guy gesture though, and I wanted to

504
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: read this to you. It's just just on Twitter, but

505
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: it's gone absolutely megaviral, as it should. And here's what

506
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: he wrote about this. I'm a garbage man. I can't

507
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: work from home. My job is an essential city service

508
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: that must get done. It's a tough job, from getting

509
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: up pre dawn to the physical toll it takes on

510
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: my body to the monotonous nature of the job. At times,

511
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: it's hard to keep ongoing. Right now, though, I am

512
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: feeling a sense of extra pride and purpose as I

513
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: do my work. I see the people, my people of

514
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: my city peeking out their windows at me. They're scared.

515
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: We're scared, but we're resilient. Us garbage men are going

516
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: to keep collecting the garbage. Doctors and nurses are gonna

517
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: keep doctoring and nursery. It's gonna be okay. We're gonna

518
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: make it be okay. I love my city, I love

519
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: my country. Be good to each other, and we'll get

520
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: through this. He's a garbage man, and he knows that

521
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: we need him now more than ever her. And that

522
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: goes for those of you listening to this who are

523
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: truck drivers making sure that we get milk and eggs

524
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: to the store. Thank you very much for that. I

525
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: really do appreciate it. It goes for those who are

526
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: still delivering mail or work for ups, work for the

527
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: postal service. It goes for those who work for the

528
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: airlines who are going through a terrible time right now.

529
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: But my friends, we all need those airlines to still

530
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: be around. We can't have all the airlines just shut

531
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: down and completely run out of all operating expenses and

532
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: not be there when this thing passes. It's essential not

533
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: just for our vacations, for business for commerce. So people

534
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: are carrying a heavy load right now, and more than ever,

535
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: anything you can do to show support, and more importantly

536
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: in some ways, well if you can to help in

537
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: some regard, you know, now is the opportunity. Now is

538
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: the time for some of these ultra powerful, wealthy corporations,

539
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, the Googles, the Facebooks, the Amazons, Amazon, I

540
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: saw it just said they're gonna surge up and hire

541
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand people for their warehouses and their delivery

542
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: services because they know, you know, what people really want

543
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: right now, Amazon delivery. And they're also going to that

544
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: people need jobs. So with it. This is everybody has

545
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: to get involved in some way to help us get

546
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: through this. Everyone has a role to play. Um. And

547
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: you know, garbagemen do not get the credit and they

548
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: do not get the from a lot of people. I

549
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: think the respect that they are due for making sure

550
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: that our cities are clean, that that they are sanitary,

551
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: and that there are places you want to live in.

552
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: And this is true of suburban neighborhoods and rural neighborhoods too,

553
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: unless you take the garbage for the dump yourself. But

554
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: then you don't have garbagemen they're doing a critical job.

555
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: They continue to do that job even while everyone else

556
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 1: is scared, while their kids are probably at home now

557
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: not in school, you know, while there, while their wives

558
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: are worried about what's going on. They're putting themselves out

559
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: there and they're dealing with refuse, they're dealing with you know,

560
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: the post ability of contamination and infection themselves. But God

561
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: bless them, they're they're keeping our city from just teeming

562
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: with steaming trash. And you know that we get another

563
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: pandemic unless we have the garden, unless we have garbage.

564
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: Been doing their job, So it's very very important, and

565
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: we thank them and everybody else who's doing the necessary work. Here.

566
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton

567
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: Show podcast. So I meant to get to this, but

568
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: I got sidetracked by the economics and by the announcement

569
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: of where we are right now and what the administration's

570
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: packages to try to help deal with the economic pain.

571
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: Deblasio before he was asked by CNN about his decision

572
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: to make one last trip to the gym, Deblasio also

573
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: mentioned the possibility of shelter in place as a as

574
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: an order play clip nineteen so last night ordered a

575
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: shelter in place edict for the whole Bay area. Wouldn't

576
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: York consider something? We're absolutely considering that. I mean, right now,

577
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: we have taken a series of steps to reduce the

578
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: number of people who are circling around, get people a telecommute, obviously,

579
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: social distancing, closing the schools, which was particularly painful, closing

580
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: the bars and restaurants. But we're going to look at

581
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: all other options, and it could get to that, for sure,

582
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: it could get that the whole country, could get to

583
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: that for the whole country, he says, shelter in place.

584
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: Do you know what's going on in Italy right now?

585
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: I've told you about the shortages of doctors, ICU beds, ventilators.

586
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: We've discussed that. Something else that's going on in Italy

587
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: though in Lombardy, Milan, you know, northern Italian cities and provinces.

588
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: If you need to leave your house, you have to

589
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: go online and fill out a permission form and you

590
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: have to carry that permission form with you if you

591
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: want to go outside, if you want to go anywhere,

592
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: you can do it. For the grocery store, for the pharmacy.

593
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: It's basically it that's where we are right now in Italy.

594
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: That's already happening. Shelter in place in New York City

595
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: would mean everyone is on lockdown. Everyone has to stay

596
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: in their own space and can only leave for essential

597
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: goods and services. This is concerning. This is concerning, and

598
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: beyond that, I have to say, this isn't gonna last, folks.

599
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: At some point, there will be a revolt against all

600
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: these orders. At some point you'll have too many servers

601
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: at restaurants, too many bartenders, too many airline employees, too

602
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: many you know. I mean, I can't even name all,

603
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, arena employees and all these different things that

604
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: are shut down. Two people saying, if he's being destroyed,

605
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I just will. Maybe we want to take

606
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: the risk. I'm not saying this is the path or

607
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: this is the thing to do. I am just saying

608
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: I believe that we will rapidly unless we see this

609
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: horrific surge of very serious cases. Remember India, which has

610
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: a billion people one and twenty five confirmed cases of coronavirus,

611
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: and they wouldn't be able to hide it if it

612
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: got into the broader population, because they would have I

613
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: would have a lot of dead people very quickly. India

614
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: only has one hundred and twenty five cases a billion

615
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: people at what's going on there. So we don't have

616
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: we don't have an endless tolerance for these rules and regulations.

617
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 1: And one thing that I think is going to happen

618
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: is that the government is going to continue to insist

619
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: that we listen to them on these dictates and that

620
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: they if they tell us, for example, shelter in place.

621
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: What happens in the government says shelter in place, and

622
00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying no, I'm I'm gonna go see my girlfriend.

623
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna live my life. Sorry. What happens when the

624
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: government starts sending in is they are are in New

625
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: York the NYPD to arrest people first to summons, but

626
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: then they can arrest them for gatherings of more than

627
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: more than fifty and I think now they're gonna make

628
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: it gatherings of more than ten is the CDC guidance.

629
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: What happens when people say I will not comply. We're

630
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: heading for a very combustible period unless the government really

631
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: gets this stuff right and is providing a lot more

632
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: help than in his hindrance in dealing with this and

633
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: we're not sure which side of it they're they're gonna

634
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: fall on quite yet. Thanks for listening to The Bus

00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: at the time, they are strong. In fact, you know,

638
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: we've had so many business groups and they'll tell you,

639
00:35:54,320 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: you know true February January, February is rising. The Atlanta

640
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: Fed GDP now is shown three percent or three point

641
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: one percent. We don't have the March data in yet. Yes,

642
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: I believe that, and I think again, prior policies on

643
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: low taxes and regulations and trade and oil and energy

644
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: of health enormously. I believe this is a short term problem.

645
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: I believe it's a matter of weeks and months. It

646
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: is not a matter of years. And regarding the President

647
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: I was with in this morning, we had our G

648
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: seven teleconference meeting, and you haven't asked me about that,

649
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: but he was very calm about the market and it

650
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: is what it is. We think it's going to get better,

651
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 1: but that's you know, we'll see, we'll see how that goes.

652
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: Keep telling you nobody knows they're doing the best. They

653
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: can but uncharted territory here, no question about it. We're

654
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: in a whole different situation than we've ever been in before.

655
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: And the usual tools I mean the government, you know,

656
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: the FED in these other monetary policy instruments that we have,

657
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: and the FED is the big one. I mean, the

658
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: FED fired it's Bizuka and coronavirus. Was kind of like, yeah,

659
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do anything with that one. So now

660
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: what happens, Well, it looks like they're actually talking about

661
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: the possibility of putting cash into americans pockets very quickly.

662
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: My friends. This is kind of like the freedom dividend

663
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: that Andrey Yang talked about, except it's not a This

664
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: is an extreme measure. I understand that, but people are

665
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: talking about it. Manuchnuchan is a smart guy. He's one

666
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 1: person who even even anti Trump people in the world

667
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: of finance that I've talked to people that I hate Trump,

668
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: they say, well, Manuchin, he's a smart dude. He understands

669
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: he understands government. Oh, he understands finance, and he understands

670
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: how the government plays a role in the financial markets.

671
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: And so I Manuchan said, look, maybe maybe we've got

672
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 1: to get money into people's hands, you know, a thousand dollars,

673
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be a lot of money. It's gonna

674
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: be for a lot of people. How do you distribute that?

675
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: What do you do for peopleho don't have bank accounts?

676
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: What do you do for people who don't have ID

677
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: they're going to show up and say, give me my

678
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: check for a thousand dollars for this week. It's not

679
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: just going to be for people that are already on

680
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: welfare roles, or it's gonna be for everybody, or it's

681
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: gonna be for a lot of really hard working people

682
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: that if they didn't do anything wrong. The fact that

683
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 1: restaurants are shutting down, the fact that we're being told

684
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: that we can't do any economic activity right now, that's

685
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: not the fault of anybody, anybody period, And it's not

686
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: anyone's fault right now. I mean they're gonna say it's

687
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: Trump's fault. And notice again today and this. Sometimes I

688
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: say things team more as a reminder to myself on

689
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: the show and than even me trying to express something

690
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: necessary for all of you to hear. But I try

691
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: to keep it as nonpartisan as I can for as

692
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: long as I can. On this show I do my

693
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: best because I think it's more important right now that

694
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: we focus on what's happening and we focus on how

695
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: to prevent a mass casualty incident. But also we're gonna

696
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: have to start looking at this like how do we

697
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: balance keeping our alive if the economy completely collapses. I mean,

698
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: if we go through the floor on this thing, we're

699
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: going to have all kinds of problems apart from this virus.

700
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: You know, I don't like to take this position or

701
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that this means, oh, we shouldn't do

702
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: the things we're doing. I'm advocating we've got to give

703
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 1: the government fifteen days. But if we go through fifteen

704
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: days and you've got, you know, still fewer casualties, then

705
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: you would see in a tough flu season. I'm not

706
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 1: saying this will happen. I'm I'm making any predictions. I'm

707
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: just pointing out the decision tree, the decision pathways that

708
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: will face if you go through two weeks of this

709
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: and everyone's feeling the economic pain and also the stir

710
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: craziness that's going to start setting in. Right, we can't

711
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: live our normal lives. Our lives are being put on

712
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: pause by this, I'll talk to you about things we

713
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: can do and quarantine later that you know, in some

714
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: ways this is a weird way to think about it,

715
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: but maybe take advantage of the time that you have

716
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: to yourself at home without the obligations of normal life

717
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: that'll come later on in the show. So we talk

718
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,959
Speaker 1: about like what video games we should play, what movies

719
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: we should watch. But if they're not, people are going

720
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: to get to a point where they say, I'm not

721
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 1: going to live my life this way with the government

722
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: telling me that we can't do anything anymore because I

723
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: think that this isn't worth it. That we just have

724
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: to deal with the reality that, like, yeah, some people

725
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 1: are gonna get sick, some people are gonna die. That's

726
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: where we are. That mentality will become widespread quickly, and

727
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: the government's going to have to be very nimble about saying,

728
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: all right, look, our risk tolerance has changed. Now. If

729
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 1: we go two weeks from now and you have and

730
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna know, we're gonna see we have instant communication

731
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: all over social media, never mind even just the normal media.

732
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: We're all gonna be able to find out because this

733
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: stuff along goo viral, you know, if all of a sudden,

734
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: grandma and grandpa are waiting in an emergency room for

735
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: twelve hours when they can barely breathe, and then they're

736
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: being told there's no ventilator for them at a major

737
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: metropolitan hospital or a major regional hospital, people are gonna say, Okay,

738
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: we got to keep this social distancing thing going a

739
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: long time, and you know, the economic fallout from this

740
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: is something that we probably have to deal with. But

741
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: if that's not the case, and if it feels like

742
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: this is, you're going to have people that push back

743
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: against the government. And this is gonna this is very

744
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: this is combustible, it is fiscile, it is we're on

745
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: the edge here a little bit more than I think

746
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people realize. So, Okay, giving people money

747
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars, will that do anything one off thousand

748
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: dollars not If this is going to last sixteen to

749
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: ninety days. There's no one in America for whom a

750
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: thousand dollars over the next if they have no income,

751
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars over the next sixteen to ninety days

752
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: means they can meet all their obligations. That's just not

753
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: that's not possible, So it would have to be a

754
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: lot more money from that, and it means we're gonna

755
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: run up that federal credit card. There are people who

756
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: are going to say, you know, this is why we

757
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: shouldn't be running up deficits. They're right. How many times

758
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: have I told you on the show? I know nobody

759
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: wants to hear this. I know nobody by the way

760
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: I did. I thought about this yesterday, not that this

761
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: is like a pat myself in the back situation, because

762
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: really who cares? But I remember I was asked in

763
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: roll call, I think, and we could track it down

764
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: because we have transcripts of the show. I think it

765
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: was maybe in you know, the last quarter of last year.

766
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: What really worries me? And I was like climate changes

767
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: for idiots, Pandemic disease is a really big problem. This

768
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: has been there those of us who pay attention to

769
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: actual science. No, this has been This has been a

770
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: risk that we are running as a society for a

771
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 1: long time. But all right, so now we get back

772
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: to what we do about this. What the monetary moves

773
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: will be by the government. They really should I mean

774
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson talked about this last night on his show,

775
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: and you gotta give Tucker credit. I do. I ever

776
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: knows I like Tucker Show. I also think I appreciate

777
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: that they have me on, but also I think it's

778
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: just a really good show. I think that Tucker is

779
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: a freethinker who does a lot of really important and

780
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: insightful particularly with his monologues, important and insightful things. And

781
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: he's been saying, take it seriously, guys, take it seriously.

782
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: This is real. Get ready for it. Some other very

783
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: big voices in conservative media have been a little too dismissive.

784
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: There's a component of this that has to be addressed

785
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: and maybe more maybe something I can address more later

786
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: where we're looking at why do people not trust the media?

787
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: Because the media is not trustworthy? So when a liar,

788
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: when someone who is dishonest lies about their intentions, lies

789
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: about their motivations, and you've caught them over and over

790
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: and over again. This is the media cries Wolfe scenario

791
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: that some of us had been worrying about, Like I

792
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: do wish that there was a cable news network out

793
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: there that was completely neutral, that we really could believe

794
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 1: was neutral, or that was just nonpartisan. That's a better

795
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: way of saying it's no such thing. There is no

796
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: such thing. You have Fox as a counterbalance to the

797
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: left wing insanity, but Fox is mostly in prime time

798
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: opinion shows. There are some neutral journalists shows on there

799
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: that do a very good job of being fair to

800
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: the facts. But I digress. Okay, the economics of this

801
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: are going to get very, very tricky. What could turn

802
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: this whole thing around? A vaccine, a cure. I'm very

803
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: pessimistic about this. It's going to tell you what, don't

804
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: There's a lot of media coverage of this right now.

805
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. Here's what Trump said yesterday about

806
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: where we are at the vaccine play three. I'm also

807
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: pleased to report today that a vaccine candidate has begun

808
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: the phase one clinical trial. This is one of the

809
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: fastest vaccine development launches in history, not even close. We're

810
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: also racing to develop anti viral therapies and other treatments,

811
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: and we've had some promising results, early results for promising

812
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: to reduce the severity and the duration of the sender

813
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: of these symptoms. And I have to say that our

814
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: government is prepared to do whatever it takes. Whatever it takes.

815
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: We're doing now therapeutics as they're called essentially treatments, pharmacological

816
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: treatments for this virus. That's the more likely near term

817
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: game changer we could have if you can just create

818
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: something that slows down the disease progression enough that you

819
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: don't need people put on ventilators so that they have

820
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 1: something that is artificially breathing for them, which is what

821
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: the big problem is right now with COVID nineteen wu

822
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: Hunt virus. That would be a game changer. Vaccine twelve

823
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: to eighteen months out, my friends, if we're on lockdown

824
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: for the next twelve to eighteen months, well, we're not

825
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: going to have an economy. I mean, we can't do that.

826
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 1: So it would be nice, but also keep in mind

827
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: that maybe the vaccine is not maybe the vaccines that

828
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: have are not that effective. I'm also a believer in

829
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: we should put out a bounty because it's going to

830
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: be the private sector. It's going to be the private

831
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: sector that figures out what the cure for this will be.

832
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: I mean, doctor Fauci's out there saying, look, we're moving

833
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: very fast on the vaccine. That's encouraging, but I don't

834
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: think anybody wants to be told to shelter in place

835
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: for the next twelve months. Play six and the vaccine

836
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 1: candidate that was given. The first injections for the first

837
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 1: person took place today. You might recall when we first started,

838
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: I said it would be two to three months, and

839
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: if we did that, that would be the fastest we've

840
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: ever gone from obtaining the sequence to being able to

841
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: do a phase one trial. This has been now sixty

842
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: five days, which I believe is the record. What it is,

843
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: it's a trial of forty five normal individuals between the

844
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: ages of eighteen and fifty five. The trial is taking

845
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: place in Seattle. There will be two injections, one at

846
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: zero day, first one, then twenty eight, so there will

847
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 1: be three separate doses twenty five milligrams, one hundred milligrams,

848
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty milligrams, and the individuals will be

849
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: followed for one year, both for safety and whether it

850
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: induces the kind of response that we predict would be protective.

851
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what I've been telling this group over

852
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: and over again. So it's happened. The first injection was today.

853
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: That's excellent, except we're twelve to eighteen months away from

854
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: you being able to walk into your local doctor's office

855
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: or drug store and get something in your arm that

856
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: realistically will prevent you from getting this disease. So it's

857
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: good information to have, but it's not going to change

858
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: the reality of right now. And even President Trump is

859
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: saying the economic You know, we have two major areas

860
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: of vulnerability, the population getting infected with this, right just

861
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: the pandemic nature or the pandemic that we're going through,

862
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: and then we also have the economic fallout. And these

863
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: two things are very obviously intimately related, but they're also

864
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,919
Speaker 1: separate issues and have to be dealt with and not

865
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: not exactly the same policies and proposals. But Trump, who

866
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 1: is usually very upbeat, and I appreciate that he's upbeat,

867
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: but I would also say for people that are going

868
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: to start, you're gonna hear a lot of trashing at Trump.

869
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: He didn't, you know, I actually deal with this a

870
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: little bit. I've mentioned this many times that Bill Marshaw

871
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: before anything, before we even knew what was going on,

872
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: They're saying Trump is awful, he's an idiot, he doesn't

873
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: care about people dying, which is just Trump's arrangement lunacy.

874
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: But we're going to see the European governments get crushed

875
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: by this. It's going to be really bad for them.

876
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: Are they all incompetent too? Are they all a bunch

877
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: of you know, trust fund porn star dating, you know,

878
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: evil Russia, collusion trader? I mean, all this nonsense they

879
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: say about Trump, is it true? But all these other

880
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: world governments do no. I mean, this is the this

881
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: is the the unseen challenge that has come for this administration,

882
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: the unforeseeable challenge. But Trump realizes that for the economy,

883
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: this is a album play latent. Stock market took another

884
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: hit today. Is the US economy heading into a recession?

885
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 1: Well as maybe we're not thinking in terms of recession,

886
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: we're thinking in terms of the virus. Once we stop,

887
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: I think there's a tremendous pent up demand, both in

888
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: terms of the stock market and in terms of the economy.

889
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 1: And once this goes away, once it goes through and

890
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: we're done with it, I think you're going to see

891
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: a tremendous, tremendous search that's going to be a national celebration.

892
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: I mean it's going to be I think it'll be

893
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: like those photos you see, you know, from Times Square

894
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: and you know, sailors coming home and everything from right

895
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: after World War Two. It won't be on quite that

896
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 1: same scale, perhaps, but it's going to be a little

897
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 1: reminiscent of that. We're going to have people that just

898
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 1: feel like the exultation. Anyway, it'll be there, but we're

899
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: not there yet, so I don't want to get to

900
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: ahead of it. You know, the celebratory Margarita, the producer

901
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: Mark and I are going to have on the streets

902
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: of Tribecco, and this thing passes. It's months away, maybe

903
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: six months away. So we have to keep an eye

904
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: on what's going on here. The fact that our leadership,

905
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: some of them seem to take this seriously, and as

906
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: I've been saying, that's a good thing. That's what I expect,

907
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: and irrespective of party, I plan to do my part

908
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: to try to bring attention to those who are making

909
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 1: the right moves and aren't viewing this as just a

910
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: political football to throw around. Here's what Governor Cuomo said

911
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: about President Trump and Vice President Pence play seven. We

912
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:35,760
Speaker 1: have had a phenomenal increase in testing. We've been able

913
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: to use our laboratories. Our emergency management team has done

914
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,800
Speaker 1: a very good job of reaching out to our state labs,

915
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: getting them on track, getting them coordinated. Our testing numbers

916
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: are way up, as you'll see next week. By the

917
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: end of this week, we think we're going to be

918
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: up to about seven thousand tests per day, which is

919
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: an exponential increase of what we have done. I made

920
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: this suggestion to the Vice President. I made it to

921
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: the President. I often tell you when I am unhappy

922
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 1: with the federal response to this state, the fairness dictates

923
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: that kudos where kudos a due, and here the Vice

924
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: President and the President responded very quickly. So I want

925
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: to thank them for that. That's right, balls and strikes.

926
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: No time for games, no time for nonsense here, and

927
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: so I appreciate the Governor Cuomos being an adult about this.

928
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: Governor Newsom of California has been an adult about this.

929
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,439
Speaker 1: Are these are superlibs who usually I'd be fighting tooth

930
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: and nail and policy issues. Too much at stake here,

931
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: too important to get this right. They should be praised

932
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,959
Speaker 1: for doing what's right, saying what they should be saying

933
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: under the circumstances. And so that's where we are. Now,

934
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 1: let's talk about CDC and testing. You're in the freedom hunt.

935
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. So we've been

936
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: told from the beginning by people, especially those who want

937
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: to criticize the administration at every opportunity, listen to the experts,

938
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: Listen to the experts, where's the CDC, where's the NSC

939
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: Pandemic Office. And I've been telling you because I actually

940
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: know something about the NSC, because I'm XCIA and I

941
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: used to deal with the NSC on a regular basis.

942
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean I had friends at the NSC. In fact,

943
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: one of my friends from the NSC is now a

944
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: Fox News host, so you know our correspondent, So you know,

945
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: I go, I go way back from the NSA at

946
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: the NSC. The story though we've we've heard is that

947
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: somehow Trump is responsible for the lag in testing, that

948
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: they weren't taking this serious use there was a lag

949
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: in testing. That's just not true. Trump turned around and said, okay, CDC,

950
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: let's go World Health Organization. And this is from the

951
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: watch Post doing a story, investigative story, and what happened

952
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 1: with the testing levels? Because I mean it is it

953
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: is an abomination how slow they were getting those tests out.

954
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna move to the whole where are we

955
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: with respirators, masks, and all these things. We are the

956
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: most mighty economic engine the world has ever seen. You're

957
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 1: gonna tell me we can't get enough masks for people

958
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: that are in hospitals, for our doctors and nurses. Oh,

959
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm sitting around with a you know, a supercomputer in

960
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: my hand, and I feel like I could order ten

961
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 1: more than they'd be here tomorrow. We can't get enough

962
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: surgical masks done. This is a reminder there's a lot

963
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: of time for the politics here. I'm gonna try to

964
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:43,919
Speaker 1: limit my discussions of them. But chin China makes most

965
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: of our antibiotics, makes most of our medical devices. We

966
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: really think that's a great idea. Huh. Now we're seeing

967
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: it's not such a great idea, just like we're also

968
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: seeing with Canada locking down its borders that borders are

969
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: real and it's not racist to have borders. No, no,

970
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: it's sane to have borders. Thanks for listening to The

973
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: healthcare workers around America can be absolutely certain that the

974
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: President and our entire team are going to continue to

975
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: put the health of America first, and put first our

976
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: healthcare workers across this country that are meeting the needs

977
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 1: of the people of our country. We've got to get

978
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: them masks, we got to give them ventilators. We got

979
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: to make sure they have the tools they need to

980
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 1: do the job and the tools they need to stay safe.

981
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: A big part of understanding this in the early days

982
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: was testing. What went wrong with testing the CDC. The

983
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: CDC has in place plans for pandemics, and that's irrespective

984
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: of who the president is. That's just the nature of

985
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: that seven billion dollars a year federal agency. And there's

986
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: also the NIH the National Institutes of Health. You have

987
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: these federal government and they exist for this for now,

988
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: and they exist so that we could get testing done quickly,

989
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: so we could better react to and respond to hot

990
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 1: spots of Wuhan virus. And this is now a moment

991
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: in time where we say, what exactly happened here? The

992
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: CDC was slow. The CDC was slow because they have

993
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: all these regulations and they have to approve things for labs,

994
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: and there was some mistake in the design of their test,

995
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: and then there was a problem in the manufacturing and

996
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: CDC messed up. Now, we don't have too much time

997
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,800
Speaker 1: to sit around and trying to kick the CDC, because

998
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: guess what, we need them. But this would be something

999
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: like if the president said, all right, let's call in

1000
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: an airstrike and he says, you know, let's fire a

1001
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: bunch of Tomahawk missiles from a bunch of cruisers that

1002
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: we've got. You know, let's fire off Tomahawk missiles and

1003
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,280
Speaker 1: the Navy goes, okay, here we go, and they fire

1004
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: them and then they'll just go about fifty feet and

1005
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: then land in the ocean because there was a design

1006
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: flaw because you know, Lockheed or Raytheon or whoever makes

1007
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: tom Walk missiles I don't even know didn't design them properly.

1008
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: That's not on the president. No, you know, we we

1009
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: have is very very expensive and now, of course our

1010
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 1: military is one of the few things our federal government

1011
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: gets right. But you know, this is what happened. The

1012
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: CDC messed up, and the CDC had all these regulations

1013
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: in place and all these other labs. We're saying, okay,

1014
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: well we can do this test and CDC said, oh no,

1015
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 1: we got to make sure that it's safe before you

1016
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: can do it, or you know, we got to make

1017
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: sure that it fits with the regulations whatever, crazy stuff,

1018
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:44,720
Speaker 1: crazy stuff. So this is, you know, this is where

1019
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: the truth does matter, and the truth is that the

1020
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 1: CDC fell down on the job here and everybody knows.

1021
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,919
Speaker 1: But you're gonna be lied to about that. They're gonna

1022
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: lie to you about this one guaranteed. They're going to

1023
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: say that this is for political reasons. They're going to

1024
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 1: claim that Trump wasn't taking its seriously, that the lack

1025
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: of testing from the CDC was or lack of testing

1026
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 1: that was possible, was the administration's fault, when in reality,

1027
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 1: the reason there weren't the tests that there should have

1028
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: been in the time period that they should have had

1029
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 1: them was because the CDC messed up. And that's what

1030
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: That's what was going down. That's what was really happening here.

1031
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: So let's just understand that. Let's be clear about that. Now,

1032
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: there are elections that are supposed to take place today.

1033
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: For the primary, you have the following story Ohio Supreme

1034
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: Court allows delayed election primary. This is pretty crazy. Early Tuesday,

1035
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: the Ohio Supreme Court denied a legal challenge to the

1036
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: state delaying the primary a candidate in Wood County, had

1037
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: filed the action Monday, alleging the delay of the primary

1038
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: violated election laws. Only four justices participated in the ruling,

1039
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: which was issued without an opinion after the court ordered

1040
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: the state to respond by one thirty am. Other states

1041
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: quickly filed the motion to dismiss the justice has cast

1042
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: their votes before four am. So you know, I guess

1043
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: we are not going to have a Democrat primary today.

1044
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out what exactly is going on here.

1045
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you have the following states that are that

1046
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: are involved in this. You have, let's see, voters in

1047
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: three states are gonna head are gonna head to the

1048
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 1: polls today. I mean, look, no one's been paying attention

1049
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: to this. Even Ohio has postponed, but Arizona, Florida, and

1050
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: Illinois have people heading to the polls today despite the

1051
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: coronavirus pandemic. And you know, Ohio Governor Mike Dwine announced

1052
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: that the polls would not open despite a judge's ruling

1053
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: that the election must go on. So you know this

1054
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: is going to start affecting you know where this is going, right?

1055
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: I think we all understand this right off the bat

1056
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna say the Libs, the Democrats. I know, this

1057
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: is getting a few steps ahead of where we are.

1058
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: If the Democrat doesn't end up winning, they're going to

1059
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: say the elections illegitimate. It's already you can count on

1060
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: it right now. You can count on it being the

1061
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 1: final narrative if Trump wins reelection. Oh, the primary was

1062
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 1: messed up because the pandemic, and they're going to say

1063
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: that Republicans, you know, exerted influence on it in some way,

1064
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: or even though these are decisions being made by Democrats.

1065
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when we hear all about the

1066
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: sexism of not electing Elizabeth Warren, not just president, but

1067
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: not electing Elizabeth Warren as the candidate for the Democrats.

1068
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: And I sit here, I'm like, sixty percent of Democrat

1069
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: voters are women. Democrats are the ones voting in their primary.

1070
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: Vayding't elect Elizabeth Warren. Why am I being lectured about

1071
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: sexism as a Republican. That doesn't really that doesn't really

1072
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: make much sense. I don't really get that. I don't

1073
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: really agree with that one. So oh, but Elizabeth Warren's

1074
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 1: still out there playing politics at this moment in time

1075
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 1: play Club five. No. I think that it was absolutely

1076
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: irresponsible of the Senate leader to do that. He ultimately

1077
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: called everyone in for a vote tonight, a vote that

1078
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: did not occur because he worked out a deal he

1079
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: had a problem in his own party, a deal that

1080
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: could have been worked out last week, and we have

1081
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: still not moved forward on the coronavirus bill. This makes

1082
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: no sense at all. Is as if he has no

1083
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: sense of urgency about this problem and no sense of

1084
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: what to do. You know, he started this by asking me,

1085
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: Do I feel better that Trumps at least admitted that

1086
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: there's a problem. Sure, but it's time to act. We

1087
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: should have been acting months ago. And if that message

1088
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: still has not arrived with the President or with Mitch McConnell,

1089
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: then we're in real trouble. What were the Democrats doing

1090
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: two three months ago? Does anybody remember what the Democrats

1091
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: were completely focused on December January? What were they What

1092
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: were they really read? I feel like they're, oh, that's right,

1093
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: their psycho sham impeachment of the President of the United States.

1094
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: In fact, they were going through that impeachment proceeding oh June,

1095
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney showing us how strong he is for America.

1096
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: They were going through that while the President was calling

1097
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: together a task force to deal with coronavirus, and I

1098
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: remember CNN, among other places, ridiculing the president while he

1099
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 1: was being impeached for just nothing. I mean, the whole

1100
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: thing was a preposterous joke, a disgrace to constitutional powers

1101
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: and separation of powers. The whole thing was just appalling

1102
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: and so dumb. But they were mad at the President

1103
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: because the coronavirus task force wasn't diverse enough. Oh, that's

1104
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: what they were really worried about. This is this is

1105
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: bad news, my friends. So let's not if we're going

1106
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: to start playing the point fingers and blame game, let's

1107
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: be honest about what was really happening. The President blocked

1108
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 1: flights from China. Probably should have blocked flights from Europe too,

1109
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: but we didn't know how bad it was going to

1110
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: be in Europe. The president block flights in China when

1111
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: he was told that that was a bad thing to

1112
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: do and shouldn't do it, And now we realized that

1113
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: definitely helped us out tremendously with this pandemic. The President's

1114
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 1: done everything that he realistically can do up to this point,

1115
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: and is doing what the experts have been telling him

1116
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: to do. And now you get Democrats that want to

1117
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: blame not just Trump but also and act like he

1118
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: wasn't taking this seriously. How is he not taking it

1119
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: seriously by trying to keep people calm while they're making

1120
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: maneuvers behind the scenes to deal with the crisis. It's absurd.

1121
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got journalists that think that when the

1122
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 1: President says, you know, look, we've got it, We've got

1123
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: this under control, he doesn't mean that the virus is

1124
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 1: gone and we have to worry about. He's saying, we're

1125
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 1: doing everything we can, we have our end of the

1126
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: situation under control. But journalists make him, make him explain

1127
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: that because they're so obsessed with a Trump lies. Trump

1128
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: lies even now, even when people are really worried, even

1129
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: when we're wondering if mom and dad, grandma and grandpa,

1130
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, you're anybody in your life who's are and

1131
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: those of you who are in the high I know

1132
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: a lot of you listening to this now are over

1133
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: sixty or over seventy, and you're worried. And I understand

1134
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 1: why you're worried and why I want to do everything

1135
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: I can to spread the word to give the best

1136
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: information possible and encourage governed officials to make the smartest

1137
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: decisions possible, because I want all of us to come

1138
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 1: through this okay. And part of that, by the way,

1139
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 1: is also not even ending up in the ICU with

1140
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: a tube down your throat, and people keep talking about

1141
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: the mortality rate. Being in the ICU for two or

1142
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: three months is going to be a horrible and traumatic experience.

1143
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 1: We want to avoid people getting this who can have complications,

1144
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: and younger people, and there's going to be more and

1145
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: more stories about this. There are people in their twenties

1146
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: and thirties who get this and they're in really bad shape.

1147
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: There are people who get I mean, I remember Bree

1148
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 1: Peyton from the Federalists. She got H one N one

1149
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: and she she was she was an amazing young woman

1150
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: and I used to do work with her at the

1151
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: Hill and she was a writer at the Federalist. She

1152
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 1: was gone because she got H one n when she

1153
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 1: was gone in twenty four hours, young, healthy, amazing woman gone.

1154
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: So that was a less dangerous disease than this. Now,

1155
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 1: most people get H one N one and don't die.

1156
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 1: Most people will get this and don't die. But just

1157
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 1: because you're young and healthy doesn't mean that this is

1158
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: something that you can You never know how your immune

1159
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 1: system is going to respond to this. You never know

1160
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: what the reality is going to be. So we just

1161
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: gotta keep that in mind. Man. You know we've got

1162
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 1: we've got some tough weeks ahead. Keep your keep your

1163
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: shield high, keep your head on a swivel, stay frosty.

1164
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna be our eyes. But this is the Buck

1165
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:05,439
Speaker 1: Sex and Show podcast, all right, we also need to

1166
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: look at the lighter side of it. Sometimes. This is

1167
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 1: a nurse from Tennessee who I don't know if she

1168
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: listens to the Buck Sexton Show, but we have the

1169
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: same feeling when it comes to the credit card pad.

1170
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 1: You have to push, push, push, right the little signature, push, push, push.

1171
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: It's like the last thing you want to be doing.

1172
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: There's a pandemic is touching that little pad that everyone's

1173
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,959
Speaker 1: been touching all day. You know, when rubs their nose,

1174
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: touches the pad, rubs their mouth touches the pad, sneezes

1175
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: on their hand, touches the pad. Is a nurse in

1176
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: Tennessee who spoke for many of us, myself included, when

1177
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: she went to the grocery store recently play clip one,

1178
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 1: and up until today I have managed to not ever

1179
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: have to do a ramp video on Facebook, but apparently

1180
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 1: today is my day. Just left the grocery store, and

1181
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 1: as we all know, the coronavirus COVID nineteen whatever we're

1182
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 1: calling it this week has driven people completely insane. And

1183
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: the woman in lawn in front of me, just apropos

1184
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 1: of nothing, just starts shrieking at the poor little guy,

1185
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 1: ringing her up that he has just touched his face

1186
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 1: and that he therefore must wash his hands, just shrieking

1187
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 1: this to the top of her lungs. So I'm assuming

1188
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 1: she surely to God must be the head of the CDC,

1189
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 1: because she says it was such conviction. And by the way,

1190
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: Lady's you're not supposed to touch her face didn't really

1191
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: matter as much he touches his I digress. The little

1192
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 1: guy says, I can't wash my hands right now. She says,

1193
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 1: I wait, great, we'll I'll wait down, guess lady. He says,

1194
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 1: I have hand sanitizer. So he takes like a quarter

1195
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 1: of a little squirt does his little thing on his

1196
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 1: hands for about a quarter of a second, which basically

1197
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: would have just served to inside a right and maybe

1198
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: kell off two small weak germs, to which the head

1199
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: of the CDC and her kitten covered lab coat nods

1200
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 1: and fervently agrees that he's saved the universe with that.

1201
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 1: He kind of refrains from rolling his eyes, which I

1202
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 1: think makes him a saint. And then she goes on

1203
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 1: to whip out her credit card and use the debit

1204
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 1: pad that every finger licking, booger picking double digit Q

1205
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: idiot has touched all day long after going to bathroom

1206
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 1: and not washing their hands. And then she just walks

1207
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: on out with her groceries. Who does she sound like

1208
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to the credit card pad? This is

1209
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: a nurse, a healthcare practitioner. What have I been telling you?

1210
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe she's part of team Buck. Maybe

1211
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: she listens to the show, or she just knows what

1212
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 1: I know and all of you know, when you think

1213
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 1: about it, that credit card pad is like a germ hotel.

1214
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: That credit card pad is sitting there like, please touch

1215
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 1: me so I can make you sick. And yet at

1216
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 1: this time, and we have all these precautions and all

1217
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 1: these things shelter and placed, Economy's crumbling dogs and cats

1218
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 1: living together mass hysteria. Not you, Tulula, You're cool with

1219
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 1: all that going on. We still have to touch that

1220
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 1: stupid okay button like three times and then use a

1221
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 1: little I don't know what you call it, a little

1222
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: plastic pen thing, and she goes on to tell us

1223
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: her final thoughts on this one. Buddy. See, we're aligned

1224
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: on this play clip too, completely oblivious to the fact

1225
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 1: that everyone who handled this groceries pire to her getting them,

1226
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 1: has left their little touch and trace of germs all

1227
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 1: over them. That going down the conveyor belt, they probably

1228
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 1: picked up chicken juice and everything else. But thank god

1229
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 1: that kid used that quarter of a squirt of pure ill.

1230
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,759
Speaker 1: She has saved the day and kept us all safe

1231
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: from the coronavirus. Y'all, it doesn't matter what we do.

1232
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 1: There's so many stupid people in this world. We're never

1233
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 1: going to survive anyway. So touch your face, just touch it,

1234
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 1: just touch it. It's all the slift, a little bit

1235
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 1: of gallows humor, my friends. We need that these days.

1236
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 1: We need to be able to also laugh at our situation.

1237
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: That's why when people call at the Wu flu or

1238
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:04,799
Speaker 1: the Kung flu or the Wuhan virus, or the COVID nineteen,

1239
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: or the SARS cove two which is the precursor virus

1240
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 1: before the infection which is COVID nineteen, with all these

1241
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:17,639
Speaker 1: different things, we just need to be able to look

1242
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 1: at it and say, we got it, We're we're gonna

1243
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna be all right, and make fun of it

1244
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 1: sometimes if you can. There are gonna be songs about this.

1245
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 1: There're gonna be people who are going to have to

1246
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: create humor and a This is a very dark time,

1247
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 1: there's no question about that. But we need to be

1248
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: able to look at this and laugh a little bit.

1249
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 1: And I really appreciate what this nurse had to say

1250
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:42,799
Speaker 1: about how just I mean, everyone's so on edge, everyone's

1251
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: so nervous about this, but at the same time, you know,

1252
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 1: there's only so much you can do. There's only so

1253
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:53,559
Speaker 1: much you can do. I mean, if you go around

1254
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: and are terrified of germs, or if you know enough

1255
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 1: about germs and realize the environments that we all live in,

1256
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: you're coming into contact with staff bacteria, you're coming to

1257
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,599
Speaker 1: contact with mrs. So you're coming to contact with these

1258
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: things all the time, and you're usually fine but like

1259
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 1: maybe you're not. You know, any of us can die

1260
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 1: in any given day for any number of reasons. And

1261
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that we should have a fatalism like

1262
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 1: well and it does, it doesn't matter, you know, just

1263
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 1: go out there and start, you know, licking random door

1264
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: knobs or something. It's a horrible idea, but I do

1265
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 1: mean that we just need to remember we're all on

1266
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: borrowed time and we're all gonna be okay, but we're

1267
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 1: also all gonna die, not from this virus, just in general.

1268
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: That's a that's a true statement, all right. We all

1269
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 1: have limited time here, so enjoy yourself to the degree

1270
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: that you can enjoy your life right now, even though

1271
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 1: we're under quarantine and we have these difficulties and we

1272
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: have these challenges. That's something that we should all remember

1273
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: that there's just only so much you can do. Don't

1274
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: stress that much, and try to laugh. Try to laugh

1275
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: when you can. Thanks for listening to the bus sets

1276
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 1: and show past. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the

1277

Speaker 1: radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Switching gears

1278
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 1: here from talking about the coronavirus, the Wuhan virus, I

1279
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: have to note that David Frum, who is considers himself

1280
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 1: highly areadye. I've dealt with him and he's occasionally insightful

1281
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:23,879
Speaker 1: and occasionally occasionally a total bozo. I mean, it depends

1282
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 1: when you get him. On certain subjects. He makes sense.

1283
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: On other subjects, you're like, right, And he thinks he's

1284
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: brilliant on everything, which is the problem because he's not.

1285
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: He's going around telling people that no one calls it

1286
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: the Spanish flu anymore, which is interesting. He should probably

1287
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 1: reach out to the author of Pale Rider the Spanish

1288
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 1: Flu of nineteen eighteen, the title of the most well

1289
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: known book on the subject, and say, hey, nobody calls

1290
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 1: it the Spanish flu anymore? What an imbecile. But there's

1291
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: a lot of that going around. People are fighting over stuff,

1292
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: and look, there's going to be a bit of a

1293
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 1: bit of tension over this. They're gonna be people that

1294
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 1: are upset with each other. We're going to be dealing

1295
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 1: with a lot of short fuses here in New York City.

1296
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 1: There's some video circulating of people in an apartment block

1297
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: yelling at people on the street to get inside, get inside,

1298
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 1: flatten the curve. People who need to get air, all right,

1299
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 1: you can walk on the street, maintain your distance from people.

1300
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: You're not going to get sick. According to the CDC

1301
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:20,719
Speaker 1: if you keep more than ten feet away from anybody

1302
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 1: and you're just outside in the air, just don't touch anything.

1303
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:25,799
Speaker 1: Don't walk around, let me touch all the door handles,

1304
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: let me wipe my face with them. Don't do that.

1305
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 1: And you should be okay if you go outside, if

1306
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 1: you're in the particularly high risk population, don't even take that.

1307
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: Don't even take that risk. Don't even do that. But

1308
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, or maybe if you're going to go outside,

1309
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: just make sure it's at a time when there's very

1310
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: limited people out on the street and you're not going

1311
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: to share an elevator ride with somebody and you're not

1312
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, things like that. But I told you that

1313
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 1: there was this other story, and this is classic. This

1314
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: is like the Friday before the long weekend government document

1315
01:12:57,680 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 1: dump with the stuff that they don't want anyone to

1316
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 1: spend any time digging into, understanding learning about. This is

1317
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 1: this is just amazing. You will recall some time ago

1318
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 1: there was this story about the Mueller team indicting the

1319
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 1: Special Counsel Robert Mullers and Fox News. Well, let me

1320
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 1: give you the backstory. They indicted Concurred Management and Consulting,

1321
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: LLC and Concord Catering, among three companies and thirteen individuals

1322
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,559
Speaker 1: charged in February of twenty eighteen by Mueller. Their alleged

1323
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 1: criminal effort included social media postings and campaigns aimed at

1324
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 1: dividing American public opinion and sewing discord in the electorate

1325
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:48,600
Speaker 1: officials set, although no impact on voters was ever demonstrated.

1326
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: So you know, some of us knew what this was

1327
01:13:55,960 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 1: right away. I tweeted the following out on February sixteenth,

1328
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, in response to the initial filing of this case.

1329
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: Muller just indicted a bunch of Russians for setting up

1330
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:11,720
Speaker 1: fake social media accounts and buying Facebook ads to say

1331
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 1: nasty things about Hillary online. That is what they did,

1332
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,599
Speaker 1: setting up fake Facebook accounts to say mean things about Hillary,

1333
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 1: and that was charged as interfering in our election and

1334
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: committing fraud against the United States government by these foreigners

1335
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 1: who were saying mean things about Hillary with Facebook accounts.

1336
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 1: That is what was going on. By the way, Hugh Hewitt,

1337
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 1: who is supposed to be a constitutional conservative sort of

1338
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 1: and a constitutional scholar responded to me. I didn't respond

1339
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: to him, but they responded to me this way, Buck.

1340
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 1: The indictment is very clear. This isn't overreach in the least.

1341
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:51,639
Speaker 1: Do you really think it's okay for a foreign government

1342
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: to do this? Well, Hugh, turns out that it was overreach.

1343
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 1: I was right you with a law degree. Who teaches

1344
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:04,120
Speaker 1: constitutional law? I think at Harvard or something. But I

1345
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: never went to law school. But I also worked the

1346
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:09,519
Speaker 1: National security so I know what's bs about this stuff

1347
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 1: and what's not. Turns out that the Muller team dropped

1348
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,479
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Whoop. See not even going to continue

1349
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 1: charging this in a striking this is Fox News. Whoops, Sorry,

1350
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 1: just dropped something in a striking and unexpected abandonment of

1351
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: a once heralded prosecution initiated by Special Counsel Muller. This

1352
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: is stunning stuff. The Justice Department moved Monday to drop

1353
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 1: charges against two Russian companies that were accused of funding

1354
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 1: a social media meme campaign to further their quote strategic

1355
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 1: goal to sow discord in the US political system, including

1356
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen presidential election. Late Monday, with jury selection

1357
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 1: in the case set to begin in just two weeks,

1358
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:58,240
Speaker 1: a federal judge granted the DOJ's motion to kill the

1359
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 1: prosecution for several counts of conspiring to defraud US agencies

1360
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 1: tasks with combating election interference. The government acknowledged the Russian

1361
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: companies were never likely to actually face punishment anyway, and

1362
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:16,799
Speaker 1: cited possible national security risks with going forward to trial.

1363
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:22,600
Speaker 1: Oh so the whole thing, why they even file it.

1364
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 1: They didn't find that anything new? Whom the national security risks? Yeah? Right,

1365
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: of what the Russian troll farms, This stuff would all

1366
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 1: have been done on the unclassified Internet. Why can't they

1367
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 1: bring this case? It was so bad? This is astonishing.

1368
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 1: Of the thirteen Russians and three Russian companies charged by

1369
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:46,200
Speaker 1: Mueller and the social media disinformation effort, Conquered was the

1370
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 1: sole defendant to enter an appearance in Washington's federal court

1371
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 1: and contest the allegations. Mueller's thirty seven page indictment said

1372
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:58,719
Speaker 1: that the actions detailed by prosecutors date back to twenty fourteen.

1373
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 1: Resident Mueller later brought separate charges against other entities related

1374
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: to the hack of Democrat emails. President Trump noted that

1375
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: no Russian collision with this campaign. Was ever proven, etc. Etc.

1376
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:13,720
Speaker 1: Various media outlets hype the indictment, with NPR calling the

1377
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 1: Russian activities a quote attack on democracy. All right, let's

1378
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 1: just unpack this together for a second, shall we. This

1379
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:27,120
Speaker 1: indictment was supposed to be our Muller brave Muller team

1380
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:33,639
Speaker 1: and prosecutors striking back at Russia attacking our democracy by

1381
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 1: having Facebook accounts say mean things about Hillary Clinton online.

1382
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:39,599
Speaker 1: That's that's really that is the charge. That's what they're

1383
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:44,520
Speaker 1: talking about election interference, and it's an attack on our democracy.

1384
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 1: Yet they won't even proceed with this in federal court.

1385
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 1: Why and oh also, why are they dropping this right now?

1386
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 1: Why are they going? Why did they go to this

1387
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: point and then wait for the perfect moment to just say,

1388
01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that whole case we're not going to be

1389
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 1: a case any or the Mueller prosecution, the whole Muller investigation,

1390
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: which was really run by Weisman, was a fraud, an

1391
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: abject fraud, a disgrace to the country. It was all

1392
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: about Russia, Trump insanity, It was all about giving the

1393
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: media something to chew on. You don't drag people into

1394
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 1: federal court. I don't care what country they're from. Or

1395
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 1: who they work for. You don't drag them into federal

1396
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 1: court and try to make a case that by saying

1397
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 1: mean things on Facebook about a political candidate, they have

1398
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: attacked your very system of government. Anyone understands us if

1399
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:42,719
Speaker 1: they think about it. But that was what the Muller

1400
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 1: team run out to attack on our democracy. Yeah, it's

1401
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 1: so important that they don't even go forward with the

1402
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 1: case after two years. Two years they kept this thing going.

1403
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 1: They just figured out now that it might not work.

1404
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: They just figured out now the national security risks. No,

1405
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 1: but they had to feed this into the system. Yes,

1406
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 1: we've indicted those Russians who meddled in our democracy. We've

1407
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 1: indicted those Russians who were doing terrible things that attacked

1408
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,880
Speaker 1: our very system of government. We're going to bring them

1409
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 1: to justice. No, they're not. They were never going to

1410
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,719
Speaker 1: was never going to happen. So why do they allow

1411
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 1: this to continue for two years? My friends, we see

1412
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 1: the truth of this. I tell you that I know

1413
01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 1: one can predict the future. I have been right about

1414
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 1: Russia collusion and Ukraine phone call, impeachment, all this stuff

1415
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 1: every step of the way, because I see it for

1416
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 1: what it is. It's not because I can predict the future.

1417
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,679
Speaker 1: It's because I understand the president. I know what's really

1418
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 1: going on and understand these political dynamics. I know what's

1419
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:44,400
Speaker 1: real in the national security field and what's not because

1420
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: I used to work in it. I know who the

1421
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 1: clowns are and know who the serious people are. And

1422
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: this Muller team, the fact that Jeff Sessions let this

1423
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:56,640
Speaker 1: thing go, I understand why the president, even though I

1424
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 1: like Jeff Sessions think is a good man, I understand

1425
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 1: when the president once is prime Mary opponent to beat

1426
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 1: him in Alabama, I get it. Sessions allowed this whole

1427
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: this just wild beast of the Muller probe loose on

1428
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Think about how much even more prosperous,

1429
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 1: even more prepared for the future, not just this pandemic,

1430
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 1: but for the future in general the administration could be

1431
01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 1: if they hadn't had to spend all this time and

1432
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: energy on just lunacy, this absurdity of the Russia collusion

1433
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:33,760
Speaker 1: narrative and all this other stuff. It was absolutely nuts

1434
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 1: from the very beginning, and yet they made us suffer

1435
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 1: through this for over two years. The country. Well, I

1436
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 1: was telling you, many of you know this. I was

1437
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: saying at catastrophe cells. But I'm telling you things are good.

1438
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 1: Now enjoy it. Things are good, now enjoy it. You

1439
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:50,640
Speaker 1: know those you've been listening to me for even just

1440
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:53,679
Speaker 1: the last year, I had times where I said, my friends,

1441
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: this is enjoy this country. This might be the best

1442
01:20:57,200 --> 01:20:59,760
Speaker 1: it's ever been. I was telling you to enjoy it

1443
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 1: because they knew it wasn't gonna last an hour in

1444
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 1: another phase. So you know, we've been together through the

1445
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 1: best of times. We're about to go through some difficult

1446
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 1: times together team, and that's where we're at. That's where

1447
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 1: things are. But with this Russia, this Russia nonsense, it's

1448
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:18,599
Speaker 1: exactly as I thought. They dropped this when everyone's paying

1449
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: attention to other things. The whole charge was ridiculous. It

1450
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,880
Speaker 1: was absurd overreach. They were never actually going to bring

1451
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:26,559
Speaker 1: any of these people into court and they knew that,

1452
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: so why charge them? What was the point? It was

1453
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: all narrative building, was all bs. I was right, they

1454
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: were wrong, No surprise. There you're in the freedom hunt.

1455
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Who do you

1456
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 1: want to turn to at this time for personal advice

1457
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:49,439
Speaker 1: about how to get ready for the future? Well, I

1458
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 1: got a good buddy who has some thoughts on this one.

1459
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 1: Brandon Webb. He's a former Navy seal. He was a

1460
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:58,599
Speaker 1: sniper instructor, actually created the Navy Seal Snipers School. He's

1461
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: now the CEO of off Rep Media. And he's got

1462
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 1: a book out, Coronavirus How to Prepare that you can

1463
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: now get on Apple on Amazon. Ran and my friend,

1464
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 1: great to have you back, Ay back, good to be

1465
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 1: back as always. So all right, man, what should people

1466
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 1: know about their own personal preparations for what we're going through? So,

1467
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, I was, as you know, I've been at

1468
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 1: this of course at Harvard Business School, and when the Corona,

1469
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:32,679
Speaker 1: I was there in the February and when Corona started

1470
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 1: to take off in China, and I put out an

1471
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: article almost almost a month ago on just to how

1472
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 1: to think about being prepared. And this is something that

1473
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 1: most Americans should just plan for, regardless of the situation

1474
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:53,800
Speaker 1: we find ourselves in right now. Is just having the

1475
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 1: basics at home in case of any type of natural

1476
01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:00,640
Speaker 1: disaster or pandemic like we're seeing now, and it's just

1477
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 1: being you know, better prepared. And I remember, you know,

1478
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:06,600
Speaker 1: my friends in New York kind of giving me a

1479
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 1: hard time, like, no, do I really need to to

1480
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 1: go stock up on just this basic stuffs like water

1481
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 1: and cleaning household cleaning item, toilet paper, stuff like this.

1482
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: And of course, when it became very real for America, um,

1483
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, things change, right, So you know I'd written

1484
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 1: that article and that that's when me and the guys

1485
01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:30,640
Speaker 1: who write for software dot com said, you know what,

1486
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:33,759
Speaker 1: let's let's see if we can put out a quick

1487
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: resource for people, just because a lot of people are

1488
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: wondering like what do I need to have at home,

1489
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, as far as first aid, food, water, that

1490
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: kind of things. So, um, you know, we wrote the

1491
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 1: book in a week, and you know, it's a short

1492
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 1: d book, but it has really useful information and as

1493
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:57,879
Speaker 1: well as we covered some of the other more important

1494
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:03,560
Speaker 1: news aspects of this, like the fact that you know China.

1495
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 1: You know it's going to be interesting because China, it

1496
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 1: looks like, had this virus in the laboratory and accidentally

1497
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:14,880
Speaker 1: let it out. Because that's why well you actually think

1498
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: you you've view subscribe to that theory. I've brought that

1499
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 1: up on the show. I haven't seen evidence for that.

1500
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 1: Do you think that this came out of the lab.

1501
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 1: I talked to a really good friend of mine who

1502
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 1: was a Tier one operator and worked with the NSA,

1503
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:31,600
Speaker 1: and I mean it's no secret that the chemical or

1504
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:35,120
Speaker 1: Biological warfare lab in China is and yeah, the Wuhan

1505
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 1: Virology Institute, and they've lost viruses before, so that's yeah,

1506
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 1: that that is established. And the fact that they immediately

1507
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 1: are kind of trying to point the finger at the

1508
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 1: US Army because I think, you know, in whatever it

1509
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 1: was nineteen eighteen, the Spanish flu did originate out of

1510
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 1: an army base in the US. But this, you know,

1511
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 1: I think, you know, it's to be continued, but I

1512
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:02,760
Speaker 1: from what I I heard, I think that it's you know,

1513
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 1: the possibility is extremely strong that this is something that

1514
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:11,879
Speaker 1: the Chinese let get out of hand by it probably

1515
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 1: by accident, God forbid. You know, if they were trying

1516
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 1: to release this right well, I mean, it hit their

1517
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:19,640
Speaker 1: own population, So you've got to figure that they that,

1518
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 1: even for the Chinese Communist Party, is not a move

1519
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:25,439
Speaker 1: they would make. Yeah. Well, what I heard was, you know,

1520
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 1: talking to my my friends, one of which worked with NASA,

1521
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:34,040
Speaker 1: was that this was potentially designed to kind of quell

1522
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:38,640
Speaker 1: the Hong Kong uprising, right, you imagine, you know, you

1523
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 1: release this locally on what it does, but it's just

1524
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's terrible to think about, but you know,

1525
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:48,600
Speaker 1: the reality is it's it's a possibility. So well, I

1526
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 1: mean there are countries in China's one of them that

1527
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 1: do have I mean, I haven't heard any of this

1528
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 1: stuff that you're telling me. You've heard from some of

1529
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 1: your but you know, you're a guy that does know

1530
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 1: tron operators and people that are in the intelligence community.

1531
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 1: And but I can just say that there are countries Russia, China,

1532
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, the US we do research on it. I

1533
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 1: don't think we're trying to weaponize it, but weaponized um,

1534
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:11,639
Speaker 1: you know, or bioweapons rather and weaponized research on this

1535
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 1: is occurring in countries that is a that is a reality.

1536
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 1: We know that, Yeah, without a doubt. So um And look,

1537
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 1: I came to Moscow for a business conference and I'm

1538
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:28,640
Speaker 1: here now stuck. But seeing you know just how the

1539
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: flow of information it's very restricted in a country like Russia.

1540
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 1: What are you in Moscow right now? Just today? Yeah,

1541
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm here. Oh, I didn't realize you're coming to us

1542
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:41,960
Speaker 1: from Moscow. I thought you're here in New York with me. Yeah, no, no,

1543
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: I'm in Moscow. It's eight eight o'clock at night here. So, UM,

1544
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 1: it's very interesting. And I'm grateful to live in a

1545
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 1: country like America where um, you know, we do have

1546
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:59,240
Speaker 1: access to at least information, um, much more so than

1547
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:02,000
Speaker 1: in a country like Russia. Because just today, but I

1548
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:06,599
Speaker 1: saw people like putting on math and like really taking

1549
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 1: it seriously because the situation Russia is like, well, the

1550
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: rest of the world has it, we don't. But the

1551
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 1: fact is even in the Moscow Times said today that

1552
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's over one hundred cases that they're reporting,

1553
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 1: and it looks like a hundred is about the point

1554
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:26,760
Speaker 1: where it's a tipping point where you really can name

1555
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:29,600
Speaker 1: this thing in anymore. So I think Russia is going

1556
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 1: to have to deal with their own all right, brand

1557
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:34,559
Speaker 1: and give me two things that people give me two

1558
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 1: things that aren't obvious that you talk about in the book.

1559
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 1: In terms of preparation, we only got about a minute. Yeah,

1560
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 1: I mean first aid, some type of household first aid.

1561
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 1: Even basic stuff, especially if you're dealing with a self quarantine, UM,

1562
01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 1: is extremely important. Water filteration, you know, if you're in

1563
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 1: a situation where you know you don't have clean water

1564
01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 1: available and you do have to use water out of

1565
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 1: the faucet. Some types of tablet or filtration devices is

1566
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:08,599
Speaker 1: super important. And then you know the food. I can

1567
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:11,720
Speaker 1: deal without the paper, towels and toilet paper, but those

1568
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 1: are kind of the big important items. But anyone who

1569
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:18,519
Speaker 1: subscribes to the site a softwarep can get the e

1570
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: book for free. We're also giving it away. It's two

1571
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:25,640

1573
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:29,840
Speaker 1: So we're just trying to be trying to be a

1574
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 1: useful source of information throughing all this. Yeah, let me know,

1575

Speaker 1: let's bring you back in in a week or two,

1576
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 1: because I want to hear how things are going in Moscow.

1577
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:39,520
Speaker 1: If you're still there, man, we want you back stateside.

1578
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 1: But you know, don't worry. I'll call some of our

1579
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:43,160
Speaker 1: old mutual friends if I have to. We'll get you

1580
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:46,559
Speaker 1: brought back here if need be all right, but if

1581
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: you're still in Moscow, I want to hear how things

1582
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 1: are going over there, because they're just at the very

1583
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:52,719
Speaker 1: beginning of dealing with this crisis. Yeah, I'm taking notes

1584
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 1: and I've got some friends here in the business communities,

1585

Speaker 1: for roll call. Role call everybody. And if you hear

1593
01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 1: some snorting, that's not me. I'm fine. I'm healthy for now.

1594
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 1: Thank god. It's it's Tallula, the family French bulldog that

1595
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:42,360
Speaker 1: I've taken off my parents' hands for the time being,

1596
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:45,640
Speaker 1: who is sitting in my lap. Those of you that

1597
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:49,200
Speaker 1: watch on Pluto TV can see her. She is. She

1598
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:52,519
Speaker 1: is reminiscent of a baby seal, which my mom says,

1599
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:54,840
Speaker 1: I can't call her that because it might hurt her

1600
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:56,559
Speaker 1: self esteem. But she does look like one of those

1601
01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:59,400
Speaker 1: baby seals on the Arctic tundra that's trying to avoid

1602
01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 1: polar bears. Because she is a very well well fed

1603
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:05,120
Speaker 1: French bulldog. But I want to get to your comments

1604
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:07,479
Speaker 1: and your thoughts. That's why we're getting into the roll call.

1605
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:11,080
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, remember Facebook dot com, slash

1606
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:15,040
Speaker 1: buck Sexton or Teambuck at iHeartMedia dot com. If you

1607
01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 1: want an email, I'm talking to bruser Mark. We might

1608
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 1: just hey, Mark, I got an idea. There must be

1609
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:24,280
Speaker 1: some like online answering service that people maybe not. It

1610
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 1: just seems like something that might exist. We should do

1611
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:28,760
Speaker 1: some investigating. Couldn't people couldn't we just set up a

1612
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 1: digital voicemailbox for ourselves if people could call into during

1613
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 1: this time, I can look into it. I would ask

1614
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:36,640
Speaker 1: the tech people, but they're little swamps at the moment. Yeah. No,

1615
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:38,240
Speaker 1: they're trying to like keep shows on the air, So

1616
01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:39,720
Speaker 1: that's why I don't want to bother them with it.

1617
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, if anyone has any ideas out there, how

1618
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:44,559
Speaker 1: about this, I'll crowdsources to the team. What's the best

1619
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:47,800
Speaker 1: way that we could do easy audio call in so

1620
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:50,679
Speaker 1: people could leave messages for the show, you know, share

1621
01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:53,040
Speaker 1: their thoughts. I'll answer their questions that way. I think

1622
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 1: that would be a great thing for us to do,

1623
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:57,640
Speaker 1: especially in this time. I literally want to hear the

1624
01:30:57,720 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 1: voices of the team. So, yeah, it sounds like a

1625
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:02,599
Speaker 1: lot a lot more work for me. Thanks Buck, Producer Mark,

1626
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:04,599
Speaker 1: you know, I mean you're you're dude, You're a beast

1627
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:06,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to the work. You know what I mean.

1628
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:08,519
Speaker 1: You handle any load we give you, and I handle

1629
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:11,879
Speaker 1: a lot of it. Yeah, that's true. Actually, all right, everybody,

1630
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:13,920
Speaker 1: here we go. We got Durran first up in roll

1631
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:18,599
Speaker 1: call Buck, great show. You said on the Friday podcast

1632
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:22,759
Speaker 1: about alternative for toilet paper. The answer is baby wipes.

1633
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:26,800
Speaker 1: Oh wow, who knew? Make made the switch years ago

1634
01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:30,360
Speaker 1: and would never go back shields high, So I am

1635
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:35,400
Speaker 1: familiar with this wipes situation. I do know, however, that

1636
01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:40,479
Speaker 1: the wipes can be um a problem for sewage systems.

1637
01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 1: They make flushable wipes, even those, Producer Mark. It's not

1638
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:48,120
Speaker 1: that they get stuck in the although you're correct, the

1639
01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 1: flushable ones mean that your plumbing won't be messed up.

1640
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:56,320
Speaker 1: But even the flushable ones get stuck in the They

1641
01:31:56,360 --> 01:32:00,479
Speaker 1: create something called a fat berg because they canidate and

1642
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:03,439
Speaker 1: they will stick together in the actual sewage system. And

1643
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:06,400
Speaker 1: like in London, for example, they have some I think

1644
01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:09,400
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, twenty or thirty feet across or something,

1645
01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:13,639
Speaker 1: this giant thing of wipes because they use them there.

1646
01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:15,639
Speaker 1: I'm serious. It's called the fat berg you can look

1647
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:17,599
Speaker 1: it up. It's discussed. It's the grossest thing you'll ever

1648
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:20,120
Speaker 1: see in your life. It's awful. Yeah, it's a real thing.

1649
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 1: To Lula, you don't like fat bergs. Right now, she's

1650
01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 1: licking my arm right now. But the good news is

1651
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:27,759
Speaker 1: dogs don't have coronavirus, so we're fine, right, We're fine

1652
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:31,120
Speaker 1: in here right now. Yeah, she's she's hanging out for her.

1653
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:33,639
Speaker 1: It's just like, as long as I get my walks

1654
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:36,479
Speaker 1: and I get fed my fancy food. To Lula has

1655
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 1: no problems. This virus is great for ducks because people

1656
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,160
Speaker 1: are home. Oh yeah, there where people. Our owners are

1657
01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:44,720
Speaker 1: home all the time. You're right, And I hadn't thought

1658
01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, know, she's getting a lot of she's

1659
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:50,280
Speaker 1: getting a lot of attention. She also, I thought this

1660
01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:52,200
Speaker 1: was funny. I was a little worried about her this

1661
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:57,440
Speaker 1: morning because hey, hey, hey, no snorting in the microphone.

1662
01:32:57,600 --> 01:32:59,920
Speaker 1: I was a little worried about her this morning because

1663
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 1: she was going, sorry for you. She's licking every like

1664
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:05,280
Speaker 1: my hand. I don't know, she knows that she's on

1665
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:10,280
Speaker 1: camera right now. And she was pushing her food bowl around,

1666
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:12,840
Speaker 1: like headbutting it all over the floor of my kitchen,

1667
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:15,920
Speaker 1: and I called my mom. I was like, what what

1668
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 1: is that. I'm a little worried. She's she's like a

1669
01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 1: little triceratops, ramming her food bowl across the floor. Why

1670
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:25,760
Speaker 1: would she do that? And my mom goes, Oh, that's

1671
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:27,760
Speaker 1: because she doesn't like the mix you had of the

1672
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 1: wet food and the dry food. So you have to

1673
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:33,880
Speaker 1: redo her breakfast. That's for real. So I had to

1674
01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:37,640
Speaker 1: redo her breakfast. She was she was protesting that I

1675
01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:41,680
Speaker 1: did not give the proper mix of dry food and

1676
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:45,200
Speaker 1: wet food in her bowl, and so I had to

1677
01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:48,680
Speaker 1: redo it. Yeah, that's the spoiled animal. Yeah, I was

1678
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:50,759
Speaker 1: gonna say. This is why if you get a French bulldog,

1679
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:52,479
Speaker 1: you might as well put a little beret on them,

1680
01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:54,439
Speaker 1: because this is how they act. You know. You get

1681
01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 1: yourself like a lab or a Rottweiler, or a Rhodesian

1682
01:33:58,080 --> 01:34:00,720
Speaker 1: ridge back or a Golden retriever, and they're all of cool.

1683
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:03,960
Speaker 1: Orders love being fed, and I love everybody. I'm so nice.

1684
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:05,560
Speaker 1: You get a Frenchie and the French she's like you

1685
01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:08,680
Speaker 1: must earn my love, you must work for it. You

1686
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:10,720
Speaker 1: must give me a perfect food. You must give me

1687
01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:12,560
Speaker 1: everything I need, or else I will not give you

1688
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:17,000
Speaker 1: as a disease. That's how two little rolls. All right, Ernest,

1689
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:21,160
Speaker 1: but glad to hear. In your list of alternative locations

1690
01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:24,280
Speaker 1: for The Freedom Hunt, Austin was first. I moved here

1691
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:26,320
Speaker 1: from Connecticut about four and a half years ago. I

1692
01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:28,680
Speaker 1: went back to see my son in NYC last year,

1693
01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:32,200
Speaker 1: and man, was that depressing. Not just seeing him fully

1694
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:34,719
Speaker 1: assimilated in liberal group thing, but the worn out vibe

1695
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:37,679
Speaker 1: of New York Austin is way cool and somehow everyone

1696
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:40,240
Speaker 1: gets along despite the eclectic makeup. Plenty of room for

1697
01:34:40,280 --> 01:34:43,000
Speaker 1: you and producer Mark here, producer well, first of all,

1698
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:46,320
Speaker 1: prucer Mark. If the Freedom Hunt had to relocate, just

1699
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 1: forget about you know that missus Mark Ariel has her

1700
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:51,000
Speaker 1: own life and family here and everything else, and that

1701
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:52,840
Speaker 1: I know this isn't just like a snap. But if

1702
01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:54,880
Speaker 1: we had to bounce on New York, do you have

1703
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:58,960
Speaker 1: your preferred second Freedom Hunt location? Yeah, any of the

1704
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:02,400
Speaker 1: states that have no state income tax, so Florida would

1705
01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:06,280
Speaker 1: be up there. Texas, Texas has no income tax, and sure,

1706
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:09,000
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Texas has no state and that acts oh

1707
01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:13,120
Speaker 1: big time. Any of those states are fine, I think also, um,

1708
01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:15,479
Speaker 1: all right, all right, all right, all right, she's being

1709
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:19,680
Speaker 1: a baby. Now she goes on the ground. Um, I

1710
01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:22,559
Speaker 1: think you also have although now she's probably gonna bark

1711
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:24,640
Speaker 1: at me and you know, make a make a lot

1712
01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:27,680
Speaker 1: of noise because she knows I'm I'm on the show. Um.

1713
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:31,960
Speaker 1: I think that nash On, Tennessee also has very low

1714
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:33,640
Speaker 1: state income tax. But anyway, so so you just you

1715
01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:35,479
Speaker 1: just want no state income tax? What is That's all

1716
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:37,360
Speaker 1: I want? Do you know New Jerseys? I only ask

1717
01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:38,920
Speaker 1: if you know because then it's tax season and I've

1718
01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:40,439
Speaker 1: actually got to figure out. I think New York is

1719
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:42,840
Speaker 1: like eleven New York plus New York City is something

1720
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:45,920
Speaker 1: like eleven percent. I believe that New Jersey is lower

1721
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:48,479
Speaker 1: than what I was paying in New York City because

1722
01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:51,760
Speaker 1: I was a Queen's resident. But I'm not sure now

1723
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:53,640
Speaker 1: with all I can't get a new license right now

1724
01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:56,280
Speaker 1: because I think the DMVs are closed. So I don't

1725
01:35:56,320 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 1: even know what to do about Texas next year. Luckily

1726
01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 1: that's a next year problem. Yeah, I'm wondering myself about

1727
01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 1: getting my taxes done this year. Ernest, Oh, no, he already,

1728
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:07,680
Speaker 1: we already did. Earnest. Zach I was listening to talk

1729
01:36:07,720 --> 01:36:10,360
Speaker 1: about how to refer to the Wuhan virus in your show,

1730
01:36:10,439 --> 01:36:13,400
Speaker 1: and today you mentioned wu flu. I'd just like to

1731
01:36:13,439 --> 01:36:15,320
Speaker 1: point out and you missed a perfect opportunity to call

1732
01:36:15,360 --> 01:36:18,880
Speaker 1: it kung flu. Zach I did refer to it as

1733
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:20,479
Speaker 1: kung flu, or at least I said that that's what

1734
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:23,320
Speaker 1: people are referring to it as there's the wu flu

1735
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:26,680
Speaker 1: Wuhan virus. There's a lot of different names out there

1736
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:28,880
Speaker 1: for this, and you know, I think that people need

1737
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:32,839
Speaker 1: to remember it's not disparaging any other culture or country

1738
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:35,560
Speaker 1: we're trying to do. We're just trying to put a

1739
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:37,000
Speaker 1: little bit of take a little bit of the fear

1740
01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:39,920
Speaker 1: out of the virus. You know, this is why people

1741
01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:41,600
Speaker 1: name things the way they do and do things the

1742
01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:46,719
Speaker 1: way they do. In this regard Roseanne, right Buck fairly

1743
01:36:46,760 --> 01:36:50,000
Speaker 1: new listener. You mentioned that now the Wuhan virus is

1744
01:36:50,040 --> 01:36:52,920
Speaker 1: real because Tom Hanks has tested positive. I have to

1745
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:55,880
Speaker 1: disagree it was real before this. Mister Hanks is just

1746
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:58,479
Speaker 1: a man like anyone else. Just my thoughts, well, Roseanne,

1747
01:36:58,479 --> 01:37:00,920
Speaker 1: I appreciate you writing in and welcome. It's great to

1748
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:04,360
Speaker 1: have a new listener. I wasn't saying it was real

1749
01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:08,880
Speaker 1: because Tom Hanks tested positive. What I said was it

1750
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:13,200
Speaker 1: has become more real for some people because Tom Hanks

1751
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:17,200
Speaker 1: has tested positive, meaning that now they think. The thought

1752
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:21,080
Speaker 1: process here would be that if somebody as famous and

1753
01:37:21,240 --> 01:37:25,560
Speaker 1: rich and influential as Tom Hanks can get this, anyone

1754
01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:27,680
Speaker 1: can get this, and so they would take it more

1755
01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:31,840
Speaker 1: seriously themselves. It's not I wasn't saying, oh, now Tom

1756
01:37:31,880 --> 01:37:33,439
Speaker 1: Hanks has this, so we have to take it seriously.

1757
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:37,800
Speaker 1: I honestly do not care about celebrities really at all.

1758
01:37:38,479 --> 01:37:43,120
Speaker 1: I don't even that. I am not impressed by celebrities,

1759
01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:51,120
Speaker 1: famous actors, famous politicians, famous and famous musicians, athletes don't care.

1760
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:53,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I respect some of what they do, so

1761
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:57,240
Speaker 1: on my own don't care. So I'm glad we had

1762
01:37:57,240 --> 01:38:00,880
Speaker 1: that clarification, Roseanne, Welcome to the team. Ck Hey Buck.

1763
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:03,080
Speaker 1: You know the best part of all sports being canceled

1764
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:06,920
Speaker 1: during this panic fest, the local hockey team games always

1765
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:11,040
Speaker 1: preemptied your show broadcast to lay here nine pm minute

1766
01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:13,400
Speaker 1: on who WO, which really ticked me off. So for

1767
01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:15,439
Speaker 1: at least the next month or however long, I can

1768
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:18,400
Speaker 1: listen to your wit and wisdom uninterrupted, keep calm, and

1769
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:21,720
Speaker 1: carry on fearlessly in Fort Wayne. Who wo cheers, yeah,

1770
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:24,080
Speaker 1: c K, thanks so much man. I appreciate that I

1771
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:26,639
Speaker 1: now have an additional opportunity to speak to some folks

1772
01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:30,880
Speaker 1: because talk radio is still still going strong, and it's

1773
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:32,840
Speaker 1: in some ways more important than ever right now. And

1774
01:38:33,439 --> 01:38:36,040
Speaker 1: you know we do not have the same limitations. You

1775
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:38,800
Speaker 1: all listen to me virtually, so we are all safe

1776
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:42,560
Speaker 1: and sound talking to each other doing the show. No, you,

1777
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:46,040
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you this. You will not get wuhan

1778
01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:48,439
Speaker 1: virus from listening to the Buck Sexton Show. So that

1779
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 1: is a promise that I can make all of you.

1780
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:51,880
Speaker 1: It will not fly into your ear. And I know

1781
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:54,720
Speaker 1: you all know that, but I'm just saying, ed Buck,

1782
01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:57,120
Speaker 1: great analysis. I could never do it. At one point

1783
01:38:57,200 --> 01:39:01,280
Speaker 1: five though. Okay, Friday, while talking about AOC's comments to

1784
01:39:01,320 --> 01:39:03,760
Speaker 1: Brett Bear, you mentioned some well known people who are

1785
01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:06,400
Speaker 1: wuhun positive that may have had an easier time getting

1786
01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:09,200
Speaker 1: tested than common folk. I noticed two of them were

1787
01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 1: in Australia, one was in Canada. Better healthcare. Perhaps I'm

1788
01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 1: not a single payer guy. But our system is deeply

1789
01:39:15,400 --> 01:39:21,240
Speaker 1: flawed ed. It's you know, you can't really judge a

1790
01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:23,360
Speaker 1: system based on one or two people getting one or

1791
01:39:23,360 --> 01:39:25,960
Speaker 1: two tests. There have been thousands and thousands of tests

1792
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:28,280
Speaker 1: on in New York State alone now for coronavirus, so

1793
01:39:29,040 --> 01:39:31,320
Speaker 1: WOHNT virus, WU flu, whatever you want to call it.

1794
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:36,439
Speaker 1: So I don't think that's really a fair comparison. And look,

1795
01:39:37,080 --> 01:39:39,160
Speaker 1: I'd rather be an American hospit I'd rather be in

1796
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:44,759
Speaker 1: a US hospital with any disease than any other hospital

1797
01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:48,720
Speaker 1: anywhere else in the world. So that I just I

1798
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:50,400
Speaker 1: think that sort of speaks for itself. I mean, if

1799
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:53,800
Speaker 1: someone says to you, this is life or death, what

1800
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:55,560
Speaker 1: country you're going to be in the hospital? In a

1801
01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:57,960
Speaker 1: country for a month? Where do you want it to be?

1802
01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:00,960
Speaker 1: Maybe some of you would say Sweden. Maybe some of

1803
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:05,000
Speaker 1: you would say Switzerland or Australia. Fine, I would say America.

1804
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:08,560
Speaker 1: And I'm somebody who is generally skeptical of much of

1805
01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 1: the modern medical system because I've dealt with a lot

1806
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:14,240
Speaker 1: of frustrating, a lot of there's a lot of non

1807
01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:16,679
Speaker 1: answers and a lot of billing from doctors. I've gotten

1808
01:40:16,720 --> 01:40:18,200
Speaker 1: a lot of non answers and a lot of billing.

1809
01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:22,879
Speaker 1: That has been my experience, my personal experience with modern medicine.

1810
01:40:23,880 --> 01:40:30,439
Speaker 1: So there's that. But yeah, I would choose America. You're

1811
01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:34,200
Speaker 1: in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast,

1812
01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:39,960
Speaker 1: Carl rites the last two days. It sounds like you're

1813
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:43,200
Speaker 1: drinking the kool aid, my friend. The current absurdity reminds

1814
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:46,200
Speaker 1: me about the media's rants of bodybag counts before Desert

1815
01:40:46,240 --> 01:40:49,040
Speaker 1: Storm or the hyperbole of Y two K. I think

1816
01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:50,679
Speaker 1: in two or three weeks we'll look back and wonder

1817
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 1: why we're so worried about this now more than ever.

1818
01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:56,240
Speaker 1: Shields high, be careful and be well. Carl, Look, I

1819
01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:59,960
Speaker 1: think we just disagree on the risk parameters or the

1820
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:03,960
Speaker 1: way we're willing to tolerate risk here. I agree that

1821
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:06,240
Speaker 1: if in two or three weeks this thing isn't what

1822
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:08,160
Speaker 1: they've told us it's going to be, then we got

1823
01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:11,200
Speaker 1: to make some dramatic not just not change as so

1824
01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:14,680
Speaker 1: much as revert to normal. I'm only giving this thing

1825
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:16,240
Speaker 1: two or three weeks and then I'm going to assess

1826
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:19,200
Speaker 1: where we are, and then personally I'm gonna say, Okay, maybe,

1827
01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:22,600
Speaker 1: but given what we've seen in Italy, and given what

1828
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:25,559
Speaker 1: all of the experts, including Trump's experts, are saying now,

1829
01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 1: I think we got to give it the two to

1830
01:41:28,200 --> 01:41:31,560
Speaker 1: three weeks. I think we have to do that. That

1831
01:41:31,680 --> 01:41:33,599
Speaker 1: just seems to me to be common sense at this point.

1832
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:36,200
Speaker 1: So I don't really know how I'm drinking the kool aid.

1833
01:41:36,240 --> 01:41:38,920
Speaker 1: I've been a pretty calm voice about this all along.

1834
01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:42,280
Speaker 1: I think I've been optimistic about it. Some have even

1835
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:44,920
Speaker 1: criticized me for being maybe more optimistic than they think

1836
01:41:44,920 --> 01:41:49,559
Speaker 1: I should have been. But what's the alternative. We're going

1837
01:41:49,640 --> 01:41:53,559
Speaker 1: to risk spiking the cases right when the healthcare system

1838
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:55,560
Speaker 1: is fragile, and then have a lot of people that

1839
01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:57,240
Speaker 1: die that wouldn't have had to die if we had

1840
01:41:57,280 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 1: just had a little better preparation and a little bit

1841
01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 1: less a spike in time. I just I think that

1842
01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 1: I think that the experts that the Trump administration's pulled together,

1843
01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:10,040
Speaker 1: I think we give them the fifteen days that they've

1844
01:42:10,080 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 1: asked for. Here, I think we give them those fifteen days.

1845
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:17,479
Speaker 1: I'm not giving them fifty days where meaning that if

1846
01:42:17,560 --> 01:42:20,439
Speaker 1: I feel like this thing is not as out of

1847
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:22,160
Speaker 1: control as we've been led to believe it can be,

1848
01:42:22,280 --> 01:42:23,920
Speaker 1: and you know, we're all going to be assessing as

1849
01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:26,680
Speaker 1: we go through this, and ultimately we all do have

1850
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:29,280
Speaker 1: to be the arbiters of our own personal risk. So

1851
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:33,800
Speaker 1: that's where we're at. Doug Buck and Mark relatively new

1852
01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:35,640
Speaker 1: fan of Marx, but Buck, I've been a fan of

1853
01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:37,960

01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:40,680

Speaker 1: can do for us, especially during this time, guys, people

1857
01:42:44,640 --> 01:42:48,599

Speaker 1: new entertainment, you know, and if you're texting friends, emailing them,

Speaker 1: posting on your Facebook, please pass the buck tell them

1860
01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:57,559
Speaker 1: about this show. I don't think that there's a better

1861
01:42:57,840 --> 01:43:00,760
Speaker 1: radio show out there right now, is actually, given what's

1862
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:02,800
Speaker 1: going on right now, okay other than Rush, but you know,

1863
01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:05,000
Speaker 1: especially given what's going on right now in the country,

1864
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:10,000
Speaker 1: I think that this is I think that this work

1865
01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:11,600
Speaker 1: that we're doing here matters, and I would love to

1866
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:13,200
Speaker 1: share it with as many people as possible. And I

1867
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:16,120
Speaker 1: really believe in what I do. I'm very confident in

1868
01:43:16,160 --> 01:43:17,840
Speaker 1: the product that Mark and I put out every day,

1869
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:21,519
Speaker 1: and we have nothing but the best intentions, and we

1870
01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:24,639
Speaker 1: couldn't put in any more effort and hard and soul

1871
01:43:24,680 --> 01:43:26,840
Speaker 1: into this for our listeners than we do. So please

1872
01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:28,920
Speaker 1: do pass the buck. Tell people about it. You're stuck

1873
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:31,400
Speaker 1: at home, you're texting folks, you know, if they're going

1874
01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:35,639
Speaker 1: to tell you, hey, check out the boys on Amazon Prime.

1876
01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:39,840
Speaker 1: you more about that maybe tomorrow or later on in

1877
01:43:39,880 --> 01:43:42,040
Speaker 1: the week. Be like, hey, have you listened to the

1878
01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:44,679
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. It's a great thing. While you're cleaning

1879
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:47,360
Speaker 1: up the apartment or just getting ready to make dinner

1880
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:48,920
Speaker 1: or whatever it is you got going on, listen to

1881
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:53,360
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. So oh. He also wrote the virus

1882
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:55,880
Speaker 1: comes from China and the economy takes a hit. The

1883
01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:58,160
Speaker 1: only way to really defeat Trump is at the economy tanks.

1884
01:43:58,200 --> 01:43:59,600
Speaker 1: Given what we know about China, do you think this

1885
01:43:59,640 --> 01:44:01,519
Speaker 1: is something they wouldn't do just because they love civil

1886
01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:05,360
Speaker 1: rights too much? You know, guys, there's a lot of

1887
01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:08,240
Speaker 1: theories out there. Now I need evidence for theories, and

1888
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:13,160
Speaker 1: I don't have any evidence that China would be willing

1889
01:44:13,280 --> 01:44:15,160
Speaker 1: to you know, I know. We just talked to Brandon. Look,

1890
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:17,640
Speaker 1: Brandon is a seal with a lot of connections in

1891
01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:19,960
Speaker 1: the Special operations It was a seal a lot of

1892
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:22,200
Speaker 1: connections in the Special operations community. Knows a lot of

1893
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:25,840
Speaker 1: people in the Intel community too, and he thinks that

1894
01:44:26,760 --> 01:44:28,519
Speaker 1: there's more going on here with China than we've been

1895
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:32,080
Speaker 1: led to believe so far. So we'll see. I don't

1896
01:44:32,120 --> 01:44:36,280
Speaker 1: have it yet, though, I don't have the information necessary

1897
01:44:36,360 --> 01:44:41,080
Speaker 1: to accelerate or to go deeper on that kind of

1898
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:46,200
Speaker 1: a charge. Eric, Hey Buck, checking in from Team Buck Minnesota.

1899
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:50,599
Speaker 1: Oh hey, Eric, from Minnesota and some super nice people

1900
01:44:50,600 --> 01:44:53,280
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. My fiance and my fiance and I are

1901
01:44:53,320 --> 01:44:56,040
Speaker 1: planning and getting married in two weeks. However, bars in

1902
01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:57,840
Speaker 1: the area are starting to close for a month due

1903
01:44:57,840 --> 01:45:00,720
Speaker 1: to the Wuhan virus. The governor might require. This would

1904
01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:02,759
Speaker 1: mean our venue in cater would be forced to cancel.

1905
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:05,160
Speaker 1: What this means for a big day maybe looking for

1906
01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:07,360
Speaker 1: a new venue caterer might be looking for a new

1907
01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:09,479
Speaker 1: wedding day yet to be seen. What this means for

1908
01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:11,639
Speaker 1: the thousands of dollars we've spent and the year plus

1909
01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:15,280
Speaker 1: of planning. No clue, Like weddings aren't hard enough until then,

1910
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:17,960
Speaker 1: She'll saw Eric Man my heart goes out to you.

1911
01:45:18,040 --> 01:45:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's really challenging and difficult and annoying and frustrating,

1912
01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:24,120
Speaker 1: but ultimately, man, you found the woman you're gonna spend

1913
01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:25,479
Speaker 1: the rest of your life with. You're gonna get married.

1914
01:45:25,479 --> 01:45:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure you start a beautiful family, and that's that's

1915
01:45:28,160 --> 01:45:30,439
Speaker 1: what actually matters. I know everyone wants a beautiful, picture

1916
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:33,519
Speaker 1: perfect wedding, but you found your life partner and God blessed,

1917
01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:35,120
Speaker 1: and that's the most important thing. And you two will

1918
01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:38,200
Speaker 1: be together through thick and thin. You're starting out through thin,

1919
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:39,920
Speaker 1: I guess in a sense right now in terms of

1920
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:43,360
Speaker 1: where the world is on coronavirus. But you'll be all right,

1921
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:45,320
Speaker 1: and you found each other and that's what really matters.

1922
01:45:45,360 --> 01:45:48,479
Speaker 1: So nothing but the best to you two, God bless

1923
01:45:48,520 --> 01:45:49,960
Speaker 1: and I hope that you managed to find a great

1924
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 1: way to do your wedding. If it's postponed or maybe

1925
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:54,720
Speaker 1: you just keep it two hundred ten people. I don't know.

1926
01:45:54,840 --> 01:45:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm I'm not good at planning these

1927
01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:59,719
Speaker 1: kinds of things. Team. I hope you've enjoyed the show today.

1928

Speaker 1: I'm try to mix in even more non pandemic analysis

1929
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:06,280
Speaker 1: and talk tomorrow because I know we're gonna all get

1930
01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:08,120
Speaker 1: beaten down by that. But we did a bit of

1931
01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:10,439
Speaker 1: a mix today. We'll have more tomorrow. I'm gonna go

1932

Speaker 1: being being, you know, creating a mess and I was
