WEBVTT - It's Time For Shields High 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:15.800 You are entering the Freedom Hunt. Preparations underway for what 0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.079 is believed to be a pandemic that will hit in 0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:22.160 the next two weeks. We'll get into everything that's going on, 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.040 including whether or not the primary will actually happen for 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.960 the Democrats today in Ohio, a couple of other states 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:31.280 in the mix as well, and also whatever happened to 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.320 the federal government's case from the DOJ against the Russian 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:37.760 troll farms. I've gonna update for you on that and 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:41.840 much more coming up. This is the buck Sexton Show, 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.920 where the mission or mission is to decode what really 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:51.640 matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American. Ready here 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:58.720 a great American Again, The buck Sexton Show begins. Analyston, 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.280 it seems to me that if we do a really 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:10.399 good job, will not only hold the death down to 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.640 a level that is much lower than the other way 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:18.080 had we not done a good job. But people are 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:23.119 talking about July August something like that, So it could 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.479 be right in that period of time where I say 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.000 wash it washes through. Other people don't like that term, 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.960 but word washes through the resist a new normal until 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.000 I do. And so we'll see what happens. But they 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.640 think August could be July could be longer than that. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.600 But I've asked that question many many times. Even two 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:50.120 weeks miraculously, everything is fine. I'll reopen every school in 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.280 New York in two weeks. Well, that's what we're planning. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:57.280 We will have specific guidelines that we announced this afternoon. 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:02.880 Welcome the Buck Saxon Show. Everybody continuing with our freedom 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:08.320 hunt in the time of the coronavirus wuhan virus pandemic, 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.400 trying to get a sense of how long this is 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:15.400 going to last, what preparations we should make. As I've 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.520 been saying, I'm giving it the fifteen days that the 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.880 CDC is asking for. And you had really I think 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:23.720 in that and those two sound bites, one was of 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.680 course Donald Trump, the other was the governor of New York, 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:33.639 Governor Cuomo, the full scope of what we're realistically facing. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.200 It could be that within a couple of weeks it 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.280 seems like this is largely under control, though he did 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.960 describe that as a miracle. It could also be that 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:47.639 we are making these provisions, that we're taking all these 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.120 very drastic, very radical steps all the way into the summer. 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.880 I had been thinking June the President said July. If 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.960 we do a good job, nobody really knows. At this point. 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:03.639 Everybody is very, very concerned, and as we enter this 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.920 phase where we're really going to be dealing with this, 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.520 we all find ourselves thinking about what's going to come next. 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.919 Never before in the modern history of the United States, 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.560 where when we've had a post World War two modern economy, 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.280 have we dealt with anything like this. We've never had 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:27.480 a situation where we voluntarily decide to just stop doing 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.919 a whole lot of stuff, stop making things, stop opening stores. 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.960 Economic activity and economics is really just a system for 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:40.600 human decision making in the commercials, in the commercial realm. 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.760 That's what economic That's what economics are. It is activity 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.040 by definition, right, you do not have inactivity as something 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.680 that everyone's concerned with. So we're entering a phase here. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.960 I'm like anything else we've ever seen before, and it's 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:56.760 stuff out there. I mean, I'm coming to you from 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.280 New York City. I know a lot of you are 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:03.200 in places around the country where there are far fewer 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.560 or in some cases maybe your county has zero cases 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.560 of this so far. So I'm bringing you the perspective 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.000 of somebody who's in the place that is expected to 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:19.120 be in aggregate numbers hit the hardest and have perhaps 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.600 the greatest disruption of day to day life. So just 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.320 remember that as we're going through this. You know, sometimes 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:31.280 different areas of the country talk about disaster preparedness, and 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:36.360 if they're places that are frequently hit by hurricanes or 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.840 if they're places that are often subject to tornadoes, they 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:44.200 have a very different view on this on that than 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.280 people that have never dealt with right, earthquakes in California 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.400 have a very different residence than earthquakes in Maine. I 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:52.720 don't know. I don't think Maine's been hit by a 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.480 bad earthquake in a long time. It could be wrong. 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.719 So we have a bunch of things to get to today, 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:04.000 including why the CDC failed us in the early phase 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.160 of this because you know, all the testing, all the 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.760 testing delays. You know what that was. Federal bureaucracy and 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:15.120 regulations tell you about that. Also, the DOJ decided the 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.600 Muller team, the prosecutors from the DOJ assigned to the 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:22.440 Muller team, they decided to dump during the noise, I 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:27.599 call it the whole case of Russian troll farmers. Remember 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.279 they were going to bring this federal indictment, and then 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.960 Russian Council actually showed up, which surprised them because this 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.839 was the whole interference in the election, the huge scheme 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.240 by the Russians and over a dozen indictments I think 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:45.160 it was of Russians who were involved in this in Russia. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.640 They just dropped the whole thing right now. Does anyone 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.599 think that that was an accident? Does anyone think that 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.000 they dropped this for any reason right now other than 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.120 they know that no one's really going to care. We'll 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.560 spend a bit of time on that. And then also 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:03.320 you have Tom Brady top of the Drudge Report right now, 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.960 big story. Tom Brady is not going to go back 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.960 to Patriots, He's gonna go play for someone else. This 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.120 is just all of us, and I get this. This 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:12.920 is all of us, and producer Mark and can weigh 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:14.920 in on the reality. This is somebody who knows more 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:19.040 about Tom Brady than me. We just want some story 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.760 to talk about because we don't have sports now, and 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.760 we can't go to movies, and we can't go to parties, 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.160 and we can't go to Disney World and we can't 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:30.840 so we just want something else to talk about. And 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.640 so this Tom Brady decision that would usually be a 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.880 mostly ESPN story or you know, the sports network, sports 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.720 networks out there, it's getting a lot more focused than 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.320 it usually would because just something other than Corona and 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.600 chew that in my friends. I want to do a 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:49.200 good job here of balancing out how much we talk 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:53.680 about coronavirus, wuhan virus. I'm sorry, see it's I've heard 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.080 so much coronavirus that now it just it seeps into 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:58.840 my mind. But I want to make sure that we 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.240 discuss other things too. I want to tell you everything 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.919 you need to know about this at the federal level, 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.360 from government action where I think this is all heading 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:12.320 and that's necessary at this point. But also I know 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:18.040 you guys are my lifeline. You are the people that 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.720 you are my end run on social distancing. I don't 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:23.320 keep my distance from any of you. I get to 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.400 talk to all of you every day, So that really 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.680 is more meaningful in some ways now than it's ever 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.600 been before. I don't see anybody else. I don't see 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.800 my family, I don't see my friends. I do have 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.360 my parents French bulldog with me to Lula, who is 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:42.120 very cute but very French, she's very stubborn. It's not 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:46.280 always easy to deal with. She makes demands. But that's it. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.120 I mean, here in New York City, we're being told 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:52.280 essentially that we should act as if we're all in quarantine. 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.920 We should act as if we have come into contact 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.200 with this, even if we have no specific reason to 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.000 think that that has happened. And so that is really 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.440 changing the city pretty dramatically. I called a couple of 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.560 restaurants last night because I wanted to do what I 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.400 had said I was, or at least I've said it. 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.800 I think I said it on on wo R. I 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.640 called a couple of restaurants last night and wanted to 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:20.320 get am. I wanted to get a gift certificate so 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.640 that I could tell them, Hey, guys, I'm gonna get 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:24.520 you know, here's here's some money. Now, here's one hundred buck, 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:28.480 one hundred fifty bucks, whatever it is, and I'm not 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.320 going to use this again. And I'm not going to 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:35.280 use this rather until at least July, maybe September. But 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.720 smaller places, you know, the corporate places, may be able 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.360 to hold out of it longer. You know, I think 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.600 I don't think Chipotle is going out of business anytime soon, right, 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:49.040 But places that are sole proprietors sole proprietorships, where they're 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.800 owned by one person or by a family, those places 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.000 have very high rents. Here in New York, I try 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.760 to call some last night already closed, not even staying 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.640 open for this because if they don't have a robust 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:05.040 delivery business, it's very hard to very hard to weather 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:09.720 this store. And you know, there's there's also this this 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:14.520 back and forth that you're going to see between wonderful, 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.880 kind inspiring stories. You know that right now there's all 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:23.040 this circulating on social media of people who are in Italy, 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.959 in Rome, in Milan, and people are out on their 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.240 balconies because in Italy this is very I'm sure if 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.480 you've never been, you or if you've ever been, you 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:35.600 know what I'm talking about. And they're singing. Whole neighborhoods 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:40.040 are going out to their windows and singing together. And 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:44.280 this is this is the heartwarming. This makes you feel like, Okay, 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.920 we're gonna be all right. But then there's the other 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.000 side of this too. Right now, we're already seeing the 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.280 panic buying. We're seeing people hoarding. People are hoarding in 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:58.120 ninety five masks. They're hoarding toilet paper, red meat, pasta, 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.800 other things, eggs. These are things that people are terrified 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:07.120 they're not going to have. And what happens if we 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:12.760 do start to have real economic dislocation from this? What happened? 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.480 I mean, we're already gonna stuffer pain, but I mean 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.560 in our food supply, what happens if all of a sudden, 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.560 we're not now farmers say they're going to work, and 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.800 God bless our farmers. They're not shutting down for coronavirus 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:27.640 no matter what. But in the delivery system, especially for 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.760 very crowded urban areas, is a more precarious thing than 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.120 a lot of people realize it. You know, most major 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.600 grocery stores can get a series of deliveries throughout the day, 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.800 and that's how they stay That's how those shelves stay stocked, 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.800 and that's how you've got the stuff you want. If 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.160 we have enough of a problem here and the quarantine 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.520 becomes stringent enough and people need to stay home to 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.240 take care of their kids, you know what happens if 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.079 our truck drivers have got to stay home because you know, 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:55.839 they've got kids, or they got a family member they're 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:57.640 worried about. They've got things they've got to do too. 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.319 We don't know how this is going to out in 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.400 that regard, so look, I'm not gloom and do them here, folks. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.199 We're gonna be our I team. We're gonna get through 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.720 it every day. I got to say that. It's important 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.520 for me to be able to say it, for me 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.960 to hear myself saying it. But also I think it's 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:13.640 important that we've keep that in mind as we look 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.360 at all the different policies and everything that's going on 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:19.280 right now. This is the most uncertain moment in some ways, 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.160 at least in terms of the disease spread. This is 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:26.920 where we have to just sit and wait. It reminds 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:31.720 me a little bit about how there's going to be. 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:37.800 You know, there's going to be some days ahead that 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:42.080 are like the first days of a battle. That's what 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:43.680 it's going to feel like, because there's going to be 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.640 numbers that come in assuming that the projections are correct. 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.880 I mean, I know the New York projections very well 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.640 because it's really done being done state by state, and 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.599 you're also seeing states have a larger role in this. 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.720 You know, states got involved after nine to eleven with 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:02.800 counter terrorism fusion centers, and on this on quarantine. State 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:07.079 and local governments are very much on the front line 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.400 and doing things that matter. Whether they're good things or 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.959 bad things, they're doing things that really do affect your life. 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.600 And that's why so I'm focused on New York because 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:19.199 I'm in New York. I'm also seeing what's going on 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.920 in other states as much as I can. But here 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:26.920 they're seeing about a twenty percent hospitalization rate, about twenty 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.480 percent of the people that have been confirmed to have coronavirus. 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.080 Now that doesn't mean that twenty percent of people are 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.319 going to get hospitalized, but twenty percent of the people 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.880 who took a test because they had the symptoms that 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.800 made them think they have coronavirus, which is probably a 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:44.000 small fraction of those who actually have wuhun virus sorry, 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.960 actually gotten this. But if you have a twenty percent 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:53.280 hospitalization rate, just based on the established infection number and 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.160 the rate that it's going up right now, there are 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.200 very real concerns that you're just going to have people 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.439 that are going to emergency rooms and they just don't 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:05.559 have They literally physically do not have the ventilators necessary 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.720 to keep these people alive. That's the nightmare scenario. That's 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:12.520 what they keep talking about, flattening out the curve. And 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.840 we're all becoming familiar with this verbiage now. Things we've 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.760 never even heard of before, flattening out the curve being 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.160 one of them. We all know more about disease than 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.480 I think we've ever known before. I read about it 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.560 every day, every night, you know, I'm reading books on it, 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:27.200 I'm reading news articles. You know, feverishly probably the wrong 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:31.600 word to use, but furiously, there we go. But we're 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.040 all trying to figure out as much as we can 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.760 about how this is going to play out. Trump yesterday 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.000 said it was bad those of you, and I respect that. 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.160 You know, we have different opinions on a whole host 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.079 of things. But those of you who last week were 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.200 writing me to say, Buck, it's not going to be 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.160 that big a deal. I hope you're right. You could 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.840 be right, but we can't take the risk of not 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:51.760 thinking it's a big deal for at least the next 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:55.280 couple of weeks because the way that this played out 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.640 in Italy is something we have to avoid here because 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.439 it'll play out on a much larger We have a 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.959 population that's five times plus the size of Italy. It'll 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.760 play out on a scale here that will be jaw 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:12.800 dropping and horrifying. So I'm willing to sacrifice two weeks 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.720 of economic activities that we don't have fifty thousand dead 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.680 in a month from this disease. I think that that's, 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:20.720 by the way, we're going to start having some very 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:27.640 difficult societal conversation, social converse, you know, greater society conversations 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.080 about what really the trade offs that we're willing to 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.840 make are. No one's going there quite yet, but we 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.840 do lose. And I know everyone yells at everyone for 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.840 bringing up the flu, but just that's our experience with 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:45.200 what is really seasonal and endemic disease, endemic within the people, 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.400 disease that keeps popping up in the same population. Right, 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:53.640 Pandemic all the people, epidemic on the people. All important 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.400 things to know these days. All come from ancient Greece. 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.640 Why from ancient grease, Well, Hippocrates was the first one 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:03.120 who wrote about what we think was either a flu 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.040 or it might have been typhoid, can't really tell, or 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:09.200 a combination of both. But that's when we first had 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.800 these terms pandemic and epidemic, so it stretches back to 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:17.640 I think the fourth or fifth century BC. So, my friends, 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.440 we are going to work through all this again together today, 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.640 as we always do. It is an honor that you 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.280 come to me at this time, give me your time, 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.280 lend me your ears. I do appreciate it. You are 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.480 you are my social life. You know, there's all this 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.600 social distancing right now. Team Buck, you guys are in 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.840 for me. I mean, I can call people and FaceTime people, 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.520 but this actually gives me the feeling of connection to 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:43.840 the people in this country, to my fellow Americans that 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.320 I care about. So that's one thing that I'm deeply 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.640 grateful for. And as you can see, we're all set up. 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.080 So as long as as long as the internet and 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.520 the electricity stays on, this show stays on. So we're 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:56.840 gonna be good to go. I'm going to go through 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.600 some of what was said in a press conference this 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:04.960 morning by the President as well as a press conference 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.520 by Cuomo that I thought was pretty good, and we'll 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:08.960 get into some other things. I'll tell you about this 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.240 Russian troll farm story, which I think is really really interesting. 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.640 Also why there's been a delay in testing so We've 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.400 got a jam packed show, no doubt about it, as 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.960 we always do. And I may although only you only 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.200 see this if you watch on Pluto TV channel two 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.240 forty eight. The first I may have a special guest 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.600 join me for roll call today. We'll see you might 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.240 you might be able to hear her little snorts and 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:37.160 her little sneezes because she does sneeze sometimes. But we'll 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:41.640 see about that. I've got plants. Stay with me. You're 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:45.400 in the Freedom hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:53.960 There will be no more gatherings of fifty plus people. 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.680 So if you were hoping to plan a graduation party, 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:00.840 you can't do it in the state of New York. 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.439 You can't go do it in the state of New Jersey, 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:08.800 and you can't do it in the state of Connecticut. Casinos, 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:13.120 we all have casinos. If I close my casinos, when 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.600 New Jersey keeps their casinos open, we're going to have 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:21.120 the same problem. All casinos will be closed effective eight 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:26.400 pm tonight and they will stay closed until further notice. 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:32.680 On all these closings, they are all till until further notice. 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:37.320 And hopefully I can coordinate with the other governors so 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.760 we can have the same opening period and just the 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.400 way we had the same closing period. Shutting down businesses, 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:50.119 shutting down gatherings. This is a usage of state power, 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.320 not big s state, but of the fifty states, the 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.640 likes of which I've never seen before, and I don't 0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:02.000 know what really your modern analogous situation would be. They're 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:05.440 telling businesses that they just can't open, they're telling people 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.840 they can't come together. Freedom of assembly not so much. 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:13.359 There are going to be constitutional questions ahead, that is 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:17.080 for sure, especially if this drags out for months, which 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.480 most people expected. You. That doesn't mean it will happen. 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.160 But those are some of the extreme measures we're talking 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.560 about here. There are more extreme measures that are probably coming. 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.280 Thanks for listening to the bus sets and show podcasts. 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.840 Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.960 or wherever you get your podcasts. We need you right 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:38.879 now at the front, and the front is in the 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:42.200 places where the coronavirus epidemic is worse. On a personal note, 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.200 I want to ask you how you're coping. You went 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.960 to the gym yesterday and Twitter losses. Mind. I don't 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:49.359 get it, but we'll move on with our lives. The 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.600 gyms are all closed now, AlSi, yeah, I know that 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.560 gyms are closed. Is there any sense that you were 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:59.119 late personally to get your arms around what the sacrifices for? No, 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.680 everyone is have to make sacrifice. But as our Health 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.159 commissioner said yesterday, people still in new ways are going 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:09.119 to have to get exercise. Whatever scenario we're going to 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.760 tell people how to stay healthy. It may be a walk, 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.960 it may be a job, but obviously socially distanced until 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:17.080 and unless we get to the point of literally ordering 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.320 everyone indoors. So this is going in stages. Somehow people 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.520 are going to have to stay healthy insane through this, 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:26.800 and it's going to take a lot of improvisation, for sure. Yeah, 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.600 that's for sure. The gym in my building. I live 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:33.040 in a very large residential tower in New York City 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:34.919 and there's a lot of them here. Gym and my 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.400 building is closed. I'm wondering if maybe I can sneak 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:40.399 in and borrow some free weights because I went on 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.800 to Amazon. Guess what you can't get on Amazon right 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:47.119 now at all? Free weights can't get them delivered to you. 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.160 Apparently other people have the same idea. I did get 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.080 a couple of barbells. If you've got a set of 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:56.000 decent barbells at home, you're pretty much good with YouTube. 0:19:56.400 --> 0:20:00.760 Teach yourself some straightforward exercises, do some compounds, compound lifts 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.920 with dumbells, you're good to go. Can't get dumbells, though, 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:05.720 so I guess I'm gonna have to start doing some 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.600 at home yoga, homage to the sun, or I don't know, 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.080 I'll figure something out. Push ups, a lot of push 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.000 ups coming my way, I think. Or I'm just going 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:15.880 to order a lot of Chinese food until this whole 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.960 thing passes and not worry about the dad bod coming 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.000 on fast just in time for summer. But no, seriously, 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:25.399 there was there's there's going to be a change in 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:29.320 people's lifestyles and what they're used to that will require 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.480 quite a bit of adjustment. This is not something that 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.560 we've dealt with before. This is not something that anybody 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:36.440 has any experience with. And I know for a lot 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:40.320 of people there, they're daily whatever it is going even 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:43.080 if it's going to their local coffee shop, if it's 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.240 going to the gym every morning, if there's any number 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:48.560 of things, you know, going to their favorite diner. These 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:53.439 are habits that ground us, that bring us into a 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:56.760 sense of normalcy and routine. And these are very powerful 0:20:56.800 --> 0:21:00.040 things psychologically. There's a lot of power on them. So 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:02.719 we're gonna have to get ready for this. But you notice, 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:05.400 and you know, de Blasio of course got a little 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:11.320 bit of got a little bit of criticism there for well, 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.439 Deblasi got criticism for being de Blasio where he's like, 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:17.119 everybody can't go to the gym, but I'm gonna go 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:20.080 to the gym one last time because I like the ymca. 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:23.440 De Blasio's a he's a he's a two minutes on 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:26.040 the elliptical guy and then does lots of dynamic stretching. 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:33.000 I'm sure that's how he rolls. So Deblasio, Oh, the 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.879 President is authorized the deformative three hundred billion dollars of 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:40.960 IRS payments. This is one thing I just saw this. 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.000 This is one thing that we buy the way need 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:46.959 to have happened, all right, the government if we all 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:48.760 are waiting to get paid and we all have to 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:51.680 worry about this, we the American people, the government can 0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:54.399 say everybody gets another sixty days before their checks are 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:57.359 doing too the IRS, you know, just put it, just 0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.840 put it on our twenty two trillion dollars tab for 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.639 now and then everybody can pay it off later. I mean, 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:05.639 I've been spending the last couple of weeks trying to 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:08.440 pull together my taxes because I'm in the media and 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:11.320 you know I do private contractor stuff and all over 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:14.840 the place, and I'm just like, this is ridiculous. This 0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:16.919 is what I gotta be focused on right now. I 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:18.960 gotta send them a check every quarter as it is, 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:21.120 and now I have to worry about this deadline. It's absurd. 0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:25.400 So hopefully that will work. By the way, the stimulus 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:28.000 plan they keep talking about stimulus, the only stimulus it's 0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:30.800 going to have any effect is going to be the 0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:34.960 stimulus of giving people money to get through the crisis. 0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:39.600 You're going to see policy disputes arise here. There's some 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:41.040
